Why People are Afraid of the Psychic World

I recently made a video about fear as a block to understanding the psychic arts. I created this video/write up as a follow-up to that, because it is such an important topic that I felt it needed a bit more explanation!

What does Being Psychic Mean?

There are some major misconceptions out there about what it means to be psychic:

• A lot of people think you have to be born with it
• A lot of people think you can’t do it and it’s a bunch of baloney
• Many people are flat out afraid of it

In my estimation, being psychic means you follow your inner guidance and intuition to get high-level intel that will help you make sound decisions and follow your highest path. It also means you can connect with angels and light beings who can provide incredibly wonderful assistance to you and others on the earth plane.

Why Are People Afraid of Psychic Stuff?

Now let’s address why people are afraid of the psychic stuff. In a nutshell, they don’t want to find out anything bad or scary. They are afraid that if you dabble in the psychic arts, or you pull cards and do a reading, or you are intuitive, you will stumble upon something that will happen to them (tied to a feeling of powerlessness) that will be bad and scary. So they just want to avoid it altogether.

Now that does make sense if you look at how “paranormal” phenomena is covered in the media and movies and whatnot. Even the word sounds really scary, like bad things are going to happen and evil spirits and ghosts are going to get you. There are so many movies and tv shows about the dark side! It seems that part of human nature is this fascination with the darkness.

The darkness does exis and it is scary. But if you walk in the light, connect with angels, and hold a firm unshaken intent to reach the highest source of goodness and light and healing, that scariness can be avoided.

Will a Reading Reveal Terrible, Awful, Really Bad News?

From my experience, readers are not in the business of delivering bad news. Although I have heard from clients who’ve received damning and condemning information. One girl said her astrologer friend said she would struggle with money her entire life. Bam! Talk about a doom sentence! I can see how damaging that would be.

If her friend had said “It looks like in your lifetime you will have struggles with money as you have already experienced, but you can find ways to shift that and heal that pattern” that would have acknowledged a challenge and provided a solution, turning it into an empowering message. Most of us in a reading don’t want to tell you bad things. Sometimes they do come up, though. 

That reminds me of a story that happened a while ago. A dear friend of mine and I were doing card readings for each other, and the Tower card in the tarot kept coming up for her over and over. This card represents a sudden and dramatic change that is unavoidable and can’t be predicted. You literally can’t say what that change is – that’s the good old Tower card! In a matter of weeks, her apartment building caught on fire. The building was damaged, but she was fine, her pets were fine, and her property was ok. She had to move out, and  it shifted everything. While it was definitely scary while it was happening, she ended up moving in with her boyfriend, and they got married! And she is in a gorgeous place now. So yes, a not-so-great thing came up, but the final outcome was wonderful. 

Let’s Banish Fear! 

Again, I’m talking about this whole subject to give a nod to the fear out there that blocks people from embracing the psychic world and the beauty, joy, and happiness that it can lead you to. Good things and bad things happen in life. A reading shows you options and helps you move in the direction that brings the most optimal results.

Back to the TV and movie thing, I wish there were more positive shows about all of this! Most of them are about using energy for manipulation and bloodshed and evil. There isn’t enough happy, positive media out there! If there were more shows with an emphasis on the fact that this is wonderful, light, and good, and that good things happen, it might start to help change public opinion.

Most terrible things can be transmuted. I mean, just look at the fairy tales!  These stories are comprised of archetypal energies we all tap into. In Sleeping Beauty, the fairies were giving gifts to the baby princess, and the angry fairy Maleficent cursed her. The good fairies transmuted the curse and softened it. The bad thing did happen, but it all turned out OK in the end.

Life is full of positive and not-so-positive experiences. It can be epic, mythological, and beautiful. Embracing our own psychic abilities and trusting that the intuitive realm is one of possibilities and hope really changes everything!
