These are only a few of the many astrological, psychic readings, channelings and visions that I have been told. Even though some of the prophecies were unsolicited by me, I listened enthralled trying to fathom how I could fulfill or avoid the prophesied futures for me.
At that time, I did not realize I had choice in believing or disregarding what these people were telling me about my future. But, thankfully, this changed for me in my early twenties.
I was at a pizza place in San Francisco with a friend. We were waiting for our food to arrive when we heard a terrible commotion outside.
At first, I thought an accident had occurred and that the person was trying to get attention for help. Then I saw the young woman banging intensely on the large windows of the pizza place.
I wondered whose attention she needed until it dawned on me, that it was me she was pointing at.
I stood up and walked outside. On my way, I heard myself say to myself: “No matter what happens here, do not take anything on. Let it pass through you.”
I walked up to the young woman who appeared to be very distressed. I felt self-conscious and nervous, as by now, the whole crowd in the restaurant was curious and watching. I wondered if I knew the woman, or, if our paths had crossed and I inadvertently upset her. I did not recognize her.
As soon as she saw me, she looked at me very intently and delivered her prophecy. It was the one about having a boy and dying on the railroad tracks. I thanked her for letting me know and walked back into the pizza place.
I did not know what to make of what she had said. I certainly did not want to have a child at that point in my life and I certainly did not want to die.
A flurry of conflicting and confusing thoughts erupted in my mind as I made small talk with my friend. A small comfort sank in: I remembered the curious instructions from my inner voice before the meeting with the woman: “No matter what happens here, do not take anything on. Let it pass through you.”
I decided to follow what my inner voice had instructed me to do: I let it pass and did not cling to the words or the intensity.
After that experience, I created a psychic firewall around for me to filter the information coming in – whether from psychics or experts such as, doctors or lawyers. I realized I valued their expertise and opinions but not to the extent of handing over authority over my body and soul.
When I look at my life through my eyes, I experience it knowing my history, my akashic records compressed in filaments of light, and the direction of my soul like no other. And because of that, I know it is my duty to show up and discern the best course for me.
“It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul.” -Invictus by William Ernest Henley
And so it is.
Here is my 6 point action guide for how to get the best advice to steer your course:
- Pick The Right Expert for YOU
Whether you are seeking a psychic or doctor, take your time in finding the right match for you. It is worth your time to find someone you resonate with. - Get Clear
Emotionally and psychologically get as centered as possible before meeting with the expert and be absolutely clear within yourself about the guidance/answers you are seeking. - Pay Attention
Listen carefully, critically and see if what they have to say resonates with you. You can always get a second opinion. Ask questions if you do not understand what they are telling you. - Your Body Knows
Tune into your body and see how it reacts to the person/information. Our bodies know more than we think. Listen to your instincts and intuition. - Second Opinion
There’s always time to get a second opinion. Do not allow yourself to be bullied or persuaded into a viewpoint you do not concur with. - Let It Go
Take what you need and let go of the rest. You are the captain of your soul!
