Stood up by a "psychic"

[jawillie]

AKA as "duped"....

I had an appointment set up with a psychic I thought I could trust because I heard some positive things about her from people I know.

She was supposed to call me (yes I am sure of this) at 8 pm est time. Twenty minutes before that I prepared by meditating. I also had pictures of loved ones who have passed, along with some personal items.

She never called.

What's up with that??

Isn't that kind of.... cruel????

Feeling a bit... jaded, disenchanted....

That's awful. Did she ever email or call you to explain her actions (er, inactions)?

I had a situation one time where a woman was sitting by her phone waiting for me to call. When I didn't she got really upset (rightly so!). The problem was, she had her date wrong and her appt was really a week after the day she was sitting by her phone. Once she realized her error she apologized profusely for getting angry with me and was quite embarrassed by the voicemail she left me.

Are you certain you got the day and time right?

I am sorry for my premature frustrated post. She called. She was late, but she said she was running late plus there was a mix up with the numbers.

Now I am left asking....

What does one do after a phone reading?

I hardly said two words, she did all the talking.... and... a lot of what she said was like... WOW.

Some stuff, though is huge, you know? Stuff I know deep down is true, but doubt I ever have the courage to do or admit.

~ The very first thing she said was my husband's name and then "the relationship is okay, but not where you want it to be."

Then later she said she sees me cutting ties in a year, year and a half.

That's huge.

What do you do with that kind of info? Is it real?

Then she said she sees me with two children but that there is a lot of apprehensiveness surrounding it.... I don't have kids. I sometimes think I want them but my husband is against it...... then I thought adoption, but he is not for that journey either even though it pains my heart to see kids in orphanages.

And my Dad came through... he died a year and a half ago.... (again, I didn't tell her anything... even when she wanted me to ask questions, my mind was blank and I couldn't think of anything.. I was shocked at everything). He loved dogs, not cats and made that point then asked if that was okay. (that is so my dad). He flickers the lights... my kitchen light DOES flicker and I am always changing the lightbulbs thinking it is that.... She said April is an important month... and it is... then she said to say Happy Birthday to my Mom...

Sorry... why am I sharing all that? I am just in shock, I guess...

I don't know how to use this information or what to think of it.

She sees me moving in 16-18 months?

She sees me getting a degree. (I can't see me going back to college...) and writing an article on ADD and ADHD that makes it to print (like a magazine)??? This one FLOORED me... I believe the only reason for the two is lack of being outside... I actually had something on my business website about it before I shut that website down.

I am reeling... what do you DO?

Most of it involves super uncomfortable changes.... hurting people, letting people down... I wish I had asked questions now... lol.

ANyway... sorry for complaining about it at first. I was just really looking forward to it and when it didn't happen I was bummed. I feel bad now.

Thanks... not sure why I am sharing all this. Not looking for free advise, I just... I would like to know what to do with the info you receive.

First let it digest. Very important.

Second, nothing is set in stone. If something she said makes you uncomfortable know that it is not a done deal.

Did what she say resonate with you? Did it make sense?

sometimes what a psychic tells you does not make sense until later, and sometimes it never makes sense. Either the psychic misinterpreted something or you change course, or whatever. Don't give your power away, just take what she said, let it digest, and continue on your merry way.

may I ask, who's the psychic?!

[jawillie]

I won't share her name, that seems cruel.

I understand and I am not going to hold it against her. I have done worse things in my life than run late for a client. It happens. She was professional about it with me afterwards.

This was my first reading... I have digested. Now I will move on because I don't see me going back to college yet (mainly because I don't know what I would go back FOR)... and I don't see me giving up on my marriage at this point.

I dream of living on a lake, though, so I am hoping the move I make in the next two years is to the lake!

Anyway... very interesting. I do feel it was real and genuine and I am amazed. Yet I don't "feel" differently. Maybe because she was telling me stuff I already know, but kept hidden?

I guess it was kinda my proof, though.. that there definitely is something else going on that goes beyond what we phsyically see and touch... that's really all I wanted, I think.

Buddhists say, "Before enlightenment, you chop wood and carry water. After enlightenment..... You chop wood and carry water."

Write down the questions you want to ask or wish you would have asked the psychic during your reading.

Prior to going to bed, just before sleep, read the questions to yourself and ask for your dreams to bring you the answers. Keep a journal by your bed and as soon as you're conscious that you're conscious, start writing down your dreams.

See what happens.

My favorite quote about psychics is what my friend told me (who is a PhD student, very intelligent, and also very interested in metaphysics), "psychics are like therapists...with props."

I think that is SOO true. I've never formally seen a therapist, but that's the way it seems to me. And it's so nice to hear from a psychic that what is going on in my head is something they can pick up on--without any input from me--and give advice on. It's better than therapy because the psychic can see so much more than I would be able to show.

Good idea, I will. I had a wild dream last night that left me feeling awesome, so I will definitely try this idea of yours!

Thank you.
