“I can pick up on anything from the day you were born to now.” - Judy

I recall the time when I first started my practice and sat next to one of the best psychics I ever met, Judy. You would never know her name. She read out of her basement. She was so sure of herself. She understood how her skills operated. She was a tough woman! I learned so much just by observing her read people - listening to her help her clients understand why the information came on through in the way the information formed and how it has meaning. She will forever be my number one role model.
I learned from her that a genuine psychic could pick up on anything that occurred from the day a client was born until the moment the client sat before the psychic for a reading.
I’m going to move through this mechanic of psychic readings. This also occurs during mediumistic readings, but that is a bit different yet similar.
A client sits before me for a psychic reading and my role is to report everything that I receive without judgement. I have no idea what I will pick up on nor how the information will filter through my senses. I only can refer back to past readings as reference points. Ideally, the client would have done the Pre-Reading Work which involves writing down a list of questions to anchor in the intentions of the reading. I will start the reading by relaying everything I sense while my client validates what he/she can. I will then leave time at the end of the reading for a client to ask any questions that have not been answered throughout the reading.
This leads me to this post. The client knows why he/she scheduled the reading and has a list of questions stored away. I want to answer those questions and I intend for me to answer them without the client asking me.
A reading incorporates a lot of statements made by me as I relay the information that I receive as well as the client’s responses. I will move through many topics as fast as I receive the information. The client will validate and stitch together the hyper-focused clues which help to ensure accuracy and to categorize the information into what is consciously known and what is not known.
I do not know what the client wants to discuss beside the little space on my booking about what is the client’s basic intentions for the reading which also states for the client not to inform me about specifics.
I’m moving through the reading and I am drawn to the Past, Present, and Future.
Throughout the reading, I will be sharing information that is unknown to the client whether it is a Prediction or information my client will have to research or even information that my client is forgetting aka Psychic Amnesia. As an Anchor to give weight to the validity of the unknown information, I will receive information pertaining to experiences and “nouns” housed in my client’s past and present as well as upcoming events/experiences which are already planned in the future.
These Anchors are streams..chords…ties of energetic data that is something a client can validate. I could receive information about a previous home; a previous relationship; family history; education history; health issues; information involving others in the client’s life; and so much more!
These are just a series of “notes” used as a means to provide evidence that the unknown information delivered is likely to be true.
This happens in many different ways. I could spend five hours giving examples of this in audio format.
Sometimes the Anchors have nothing to do with the Topic of focus. They are unrelated. Their purpose is to simply provide weight to the unknown information.
Other times, Anchors are received when I am focusing on the current Topic and the Anchors apply to the same Topic, but the information is of the past. For example, I receive information about a move. I receive details pertaining to the client’s family. I receive details about the current home. Then I make a prediction that a move will occur 4 months from the reading and I also share details about the new home. Following the prediction, I receive the Anchor. I share with the client that I see an image of a ranch style home connected to a lake and there is a “R” name attached to the energy. The client then validates that his childhood home was a ranch, connected to a lake, and the home was in a town with its name beginning with the letter “R”. This shows how I received information from the past to confirm the validity of the prediction given and the Anchor applies to the same subject.
This is why it is so important that clients engage with me, interact with me, and converse with me. I have transcripts upon transcripts upon recordings upon recordings upon POST-READING VALIDATIONS. All of this documentation exemplifies my accuracy, strengths, skill set, and knowledge.
Readings are Dynamic. It is an interactive experience and requires me and the client to be fully involved in the process to categorize the information so the Reading becomes an effective Tool.
