An Introduction

Hello, everyone!  I've been churning this idea around in my head for awhile and finally decided to take the plunge.  For now, I intend to remain anonymous, not because I am ashamed of what I'm about to talk about, but because I'm not quite ready to fully take that leap of faith yet.  If not knowing what I look like or who I am offends you, I ask for your forgiveness.  I completely anticipate "coming out" eventually, but I want to make sure and verify that what I am about to discuss is actually happening with me.  I can deal with the potential mockery once I become a full-fledged psychic, but while I'm developing and honing in on my abilities, that extra level of secrecy is needed, I feel.

So, lets start at the beginning.  In October of 2013, I received a phone call from one of my dear friends that kind of surprised me.  Her aunt wanted to discuss some paranormal topics with me for a book that she was planning to write.  During this time of my life, I was an avid ghost hunter and traveled to Gettysburg and local haunted areas for the Hunt.  I was intrigued by the idea and quickly agreed.  About a week before I was supposed to do my phone interview with her, my friend told me that her aunt also wanted to do a Tarot read for me over the phone as practice.  Being so fascinated by all things paranormal, of course I quickly agreed.

Finally, the day for the interview/read came and I was very excited.  I was going to be interviewed for a book and receive a psychic read.  Awesome!  When she finally called, I was in an area with poor reception and lost the call.  She texted me and asked me to call her back when I was available.

It took me about 45 minutes to find the time and reception to call her and my life hasn't been the same since.  In fact, we didn't even actually do the read or book interview.  Instead, we talked about psychic abilities and how she believed that I was capable of doing this as well.  She asked me a series of questions that I can't remember but dealt with my early life and how all of these things link back to my psychic ability.  Long story short, she believes that I had been a psychic my entire life, I just didn't know that the information coming to me was not normal.  Upon reflection, it completely made sense.  I plan on asking her if she recalls the questions that she asked me so I can relay that information to you in a later post.

She told me a list of things that I should do in order to develop and hone these gifts.  I would need to start meditating and paying attention to where my thoughts go; I'd need to pick up a pack of Tarot cards and see if anything comes to me when I'm holding them; I would need to talk to my Spirit Guides and see if they answer (but not be upset if they didn't); I would need to start a journal that housed all of the occurrences I believed were psychic in nature; and I would need to believe that she was not crazy and I was actually a psychic.

Now, I'm not going to lie.  I was super excited when she told me all of this.  Like I mentioned above, I was super interested in all things supernatural and/or paranormal.  To me, psychic abilities definitely fell into that category. So, I started meditating for roughly ten minutes each day to see if she was right.  I wish I would have really listened to her and started the journal.  In fact, I'm kind of kicking myself in the ass now for not doing that so I could relay that information her for you.  What I do recall, however, was pretty awesome.  Just with meditating I was able to start getting information from my Spirit Guide and I knew things that I wouldn't normally know.  Again, I wish I would have started that damn journal.

And then in December, I received a "promotion" at job #2 and my life became completely crazy.  I stopped meditating, I never bought the Tarot cards or started the journal, and the whole "psychic" thing fell of the radar.  Once summer hit and I found some free time to really start doing the whole process all over again, I finally see what she saw in me almost 8 months ago.

Long story short, I purchased a deck of Tarot cards and a How-to book and began to read.  Prior to this, I read a few of Echo Bodine's books and felt that I was finally getting the picture of what this whole psychic thing really was.  Sure, it is supernatural/paranormal because science can't prove it, but really being a psychic is a whole new spiritual awareness.  While I thumbed through the how-to book, my Tarot deck sat on my desk unopened.  Finally, about three weeks later, I opened my deck and life hasn't been the same.
