Hallo!
If you’re working on your psychic and intuitive development and want to make a go of it as a professional, I have some sage words of advice:
If you are sensitive, AVOID doing readings at psychic fairs and parties!
It makes sense and goes along with the business model of doing demo (paid or unpaid) readings for lots and lots people in a party/fair setting. After all, the more people who know who you are, the better, right?
Maybe…and then again, maybe not.
You see, from my experience, these types of events can be detrimental to your psyche, your chakras and aura, and your body. Now, some people are naturally good at seeing tons of people, one right after the other, and go through them like a powerhouse. I wish I was like that, but I’m not! Rather, I’m the one who did too many of these, fried my circuits a few times, got vehemently ill one time, fought off attachments, and am here to tell you, dear soul, that there has to be a better way.
Doing psychic work is not for the faint of heart and frankly can be very taxing on the HSP (Highly Sensitive Person). Couple that with doing readings for anywhere between 10 and 20 people, one right after the other, some of them drinking, some of them angry, and you’re setting yourself up for a major drain.
Although many people will tell you to simply activate a shield, I’ve seen from experience that creating a shield takes as much work as it does to channel energy and do a reading for someone. It take focus and dedication. You don’t just throw up a shield and call it a day.
Likewise, there are tools like crystals, stones, sage, palo santo, cedar wood, other essential oils, copper mats, iron rings, singing bowls, tuning forks, glasses of water and more that are purported to help you deflect the energy of others. They are fun to work with, but for the HSP, they simply can’t help when you’re in a situation where you are doing too many readings. You may be fine, up to a certain point – then someone comes in who is an energy vampire or a host to a gnarly attachment, or perhaps furious with you because you accidentally saw something a little too “real” for a party session…and you’re toast.
If you really want to bust your chops and get the experience, by all means do this – but reserve the next day for self-care. Don’t talk to anyone, drink a lot of water and tea, take baths, meditate and read books or watch Netflix.
Time out and meditation, running your own energy and calling in the forces of light are imperative if you want to stay strong, healthy, and unaffected by people you’re reading. There’s little opportunity for this in psychic fair/party environments. Yet, again, I know it’s an important step and way of getting your name out there. If you do want to do it, just pace yourself, try to do no more than 8 readings, and take breaks to recharge.
The psychic world can be dangerous; it’s like a walk in a park that has a nice playground, beautiful trees, a field and a lovely lake or river, and then an area way over there you should stay away from because there are drug dealers and hoodlums. Don’t play in that zone!
Stay in the light, and cultivate light. It takes daily work, and a level of intensity that I now know is imperative to your survival.
I hope this sheds some light on the matter. And remember, if there’s anything in your life that you would like assistance with, I’m here to help with readings, energy healings, on-demand meditations and my psychic development training program. So just reach out!
