I get most of my psychic information physically. In a session, if a client’s throat tightens, so does mine, stomach clench, breath holding, eye twitch…I feel almost all of it. This happens whether I can see them or not, and it tells me more than any of their words could what’s going on, and we can address it at the moment it comes up.
When I’m running a group, similar things happen - I’ll feel like someone’s grounding cord just came loose, someone’s mind is wandering, or someone is experiencing an emotional release, among other things.
This awareness comes from years and years and yearrrrrrrrrrssss of tracking sensation paired with events and checking it out with clients. “My throat is closing up. How is yours feeling?”, “Oh, my left shoulder is tightening; what’s happening with your body?”, etc.
In a mediumship reading, the disembodied may provide evidence of how they died so the client knows it’s “their” person. My mouth has gone dry; my heart has hiccupped; I’ve found it hard to breathe, etc., all aspects of how that person exited their body and joined the choir invisible.
This is pairing of information with confirmation is a large part of building trust in your personal psychic vocabulary, and I was reminded of this last week. I know a person who is in this process, and they said - “I’m having the same feeling I had last time when XYZ happened, and I didn’t bring it up, so this time, I will.” Already their learning that it’s important to remember and look for patterns.
It takes time to build a vocabulary, and often it happens just like that - you have a sensation or see an image, keep it to yourself, usually because your Mind talks you out of it, and then later you find out you were correct!
Once, I “heard” a grandfather call his granddaughter “cher” and talked myself out of it because I knew they lived in Louisiana, where that’s common to hear among the versions of the Cajun-French or Louisiana-French language. I brought it up and told her I was concerned my mind was embellishing details, but she confirmed that sure enough - he did speak French and did call her by that term of endearment.
Over time you learn that sensation/image A equals event B. It’s reliable, it’s an actual language, and it makes your readings so much more laser focused and accurate once you learn to trust it AND feel comfortable getting it wrong.
When someone talks to me about a relationship, and I feel my heart sinking downward - something is off with it. Now I don’t always know WHAT is off about it, but something is wonky somewhere, and so that’s when a reading can turn into a coaching session!
A long time appears as looking down a road that goes on and on, and I can’t see the endpoint. A short time may appear as a calendar on the wall, and a number like 2-3 will appear.
A decision that doesn’t matter shows up a feeling of nothingness, a black movie screen, or a sense of those beings I channel all shrugging their shoulders in answer to the question.
When the person asking has a question that’s not clear to them, or they’re generally in a state of confusion, I feel like I’m standing in a fog bank.
When I’m training someone, as I am now, I’ll set up many opportunities for them to read others and start developing the book of their vocabulary words.
I can’t think of anything more rich, complex, and totally fun than writing the book of your signs, symbols, and sensations. If you haven’t already, I suggest you get started!
