Default Question for Erin or another Psychic!

My girlfriend (Who cannot speak English, but is Spanish and has her own psychic business, but is currently limited to things like Reiki, Shiatsu, etc... But her true calling is channeling, but she has some doubts and fears about it. I wonder if you guys could answer a few questions!)

1. She feels that she has doubts when channeling important stuff and when she tells people about it. Specifically, there are cases of people who feel really good for 24 hours, but then after that time passes, they're back in their old rut. What can she do about that?

She feels this conflict: Is she doing it right, or is it the person who has to take the next step?

2. When people outright don't ask for channeled information, but she gets that information anyway, she feels that if she transmits it's useless to the person? Why does she see the information? What's the right course of action?

3. She feels a social stigma with channeling, she does things like Shiatsu and Reiki and Acupuncture and when she recieves channeled information she's not sure what do, what should she do? She usually tells them the information but she has doubts about it.

4. She has difficulty channeling things for herself, but seems to easily channel for others. Why does she have so much difficulty channeling for herself and how can she channel for herself better?

5. In the one hand, she feels very sensitive because she feels the energy of others and can see Spirit Guides and can recieve channeled information, etc.

On the other hand, she feels very limited due to the education she recieved from society and her family.

"How can I attain Balance between the human side and the spiritual side", she asks.

That's all Thanks for reading!

1. I am not sure channeling for a person is supposed to be a fix? Usually if someone wants to move toward a more satisfying life they will need to take some action. The reading experience can bring good feelings but without action on their part it's pretty normal for them to go back to their pre-reading level.

2. Not sure how to answer this. Perhaps she could translate that information into reading-speak or conversation-speak? I'm not sure it would be useless to the person but if they did not ask for it then they may be more likely to benefit from it if it is presented in a way that fits better with what they did ask for.

3. Social stigma may be part of the local culture? Most people I've met who are open to reiki, accupressure, etc. are open to messages from higher/finer realms too. I saw a massage therapist yesterday, who told me about a book to read and said she "was told" to mention it to me. I'm the type to listen to something like that.

I'd say generally, if you have your truth and you feel an inward push to speak it, then speak it. What the other person does with it is their business but you will have expressed your truth. (Great for keeping the throat chakra balanced!)

4. Great question, lemme know when you get this figured out! (I sometimes use a tool for myself, like a tarot deck. I do this when I can tell I'm attached to a certain flow of the information. With small things I don't need the tool but with things that feel important to me I do.)

Sometimes trouble applying the gift for yourself relates to being a Giver. How easily can she receive? Does she accept what others give without any complaint or hesitation?

5. Another great question. I'd suggest realizing she can trust her own direct experience, and that not everyone is tuned to those things beyond the level of the unconscious, and their truth is okay just as her truth is okay. It's okay to trust herself.

Let me answer to the best of my ability what is currently my conviction about some of these questions:

1. When channeling information, your task is not to change the other person. Your task is to transmit the information, because that other person needs to hear it at this time. What they do with it, is up to them.

Maybe their guides know they won't act on it immediately, and are simply setting the stage with repeating the message over and over until that person becomes more open to the idea of change.

OR the message may not be that important for the receiver, but this person and her guides are a perfect way for your friend to train her abilities and exercise her channeling muscle.

It's all valid, and perfectly fine.

2. Maybe ask for the source of the message. Is it a deceased loved one who wishes to communicate? Is it a message from that person's guides? Ask for clarification.

3. If she has doubts about the message she passes on, people are going to pick up on that, and doubt the message as well. Or at least, they are more likely to.

4. This is very common. The situation most often is this: you are not attached to an outcome for strangers. There are no expectations, no fears, no passions getting in the way. When it comes to yourself, you are trapped inside your own box, figuratively. You live your life, and you have your opinions, and think you know what solutions are available to you etc., and all this can tune out other opportunities that you ignored or even intentionally pushed away because they scared you or involved doing something or working with someone you don't like etc. - so this is like channeling through the filter of your mind which already has quite a few ideas about how things are supposed to be (often contrary to the message your guides are trying to give you), and that doesn't work too well.

5. Limited in what ways? Is she unsure how to express herself? Does she find it hard to find the right words? For that, I suggest reading, or even finding a speaking club like Toastmasters.

Her role is to pass on the information, period. What the client does with it is their choice and outside of her control. Some will not act on it, some will be scared of change or of getting out of their comfort zone, and go back to their old ways. Some will also have subconscious and/or soul-level blocks that prevent them from really making changes. None of this is her responsibility. As a channeler, all she does is translate.

About her doubts, it helps to hold a very clear intention for the session to get the information that will most serve the client to <insert goal> at that time, and then trust that the information she receives indeed is what the client most needs to hear at that time. And then just trust and let it go without being attached to getting it "right" (That's the ego).

She could tell them she got some channeled information and ask them if they want to hear it. But more generally, I see it as a matter of authenticity. I can imagine the social stigma thing, if Spain is anything like France. However, if that is what she really wants to do as you said, then why not be authentic and honest about it and offer readings, that people intentionally book and know what's going to happen? I'm sure she could be successful with it, even in Spain.

I find it very difficult to give myself readings too. It's normal I think. When we read for ourselves, we don't have the emotional distance. The answers are very important to us. We will base important life decisions on them. We tend to easily get attached to certain outcomes/answers because that is what we would like to be true. I deeply care about my clients, but I am not attached to any particular outcome on their behalf. Sometimes I *am*, however, attached to seeing certain things happen in my own life. And attachment gets in the way of intuitive input big time, be it attachment to certain answers or simply attachment to getting it right.

Well, she's not a victim of her family and education, is she? She can expand outside of what she was taught.

Is she grounded enough? Is her descending energy flow strong? Are her lower chakras active enough?

Greet her from me.

Thanks Rose! Amparo says "Gracias Guapa", which means "Thank you beautiful"

She says she will meditate about what you said. She says that what you said is a big help for her!

Good to see you! :P

I am able to channel easily for myself because of how I do it. I write down about 20 beneficial question ( you can do less if you want to do them all at once) I seal them in envelopes and get into a meditative state. I then write what I get on the backs of the envelopes. I have been shocked to find that when I open them the answers make complete sense in the context of the question, but since I don't know what I am answering I remain detached.
