This is so cool! I wanted to say - if you have a reading with Erin, take thorough notes! I've referred back to mine several times, and I usually read something I didn't "see" before. I got a metaphor, and I also got a direct quote - "Trust and have faith in the universe's plan for you." Which I turned into an affirmation: "I trust and have faith...". And I'm working on that!
I've heard John Edward say the symbols he gets are meaningful to him, i.e. he might see a relative of his own or something like that, but he knows what he's supposed to convey.
Usually if I see something about someone, it's just knowledge about that person that I "know". One of the first times that happened, I was telling the woman I was giving reiki to, "Something happened when you were eight. Not directly to you, but to someone you knew about - not super close. This has caused you to reject being a woman, you don't want to accept that you're a woman." It was like the words were just flowing from me, and I didn't know how I knew this. Or even if it was right. After the session, she didn't tell me what she thought about I said. I was thinking, "OK - I'm really nuts for saying that. Why did I say that?" But LATER, she told a mutual friend that when she was eight, a girl she knew from her girl scout troop had been raped and dismembered. That friend told me. (Oh, I'm suddenly feeling SO sad and down-hearted. Such pain for a little girl to feel! OK - deep breath.)
I'm learning to trust those words that just flow, that knowledge I have that I don't know where it came from (until I started reading Erin's blog!).
Thanks so much for sharing your process, Erin.
