About the Author: Anna Jane Wilson
Psychic practices, psychic crime, and psychic entities are not topics I ever thought I would write about or educate others on. My background is in fashion modelling, hospitality management, and directing—fields in which I have worked and studied extensively.
In 2006, I became the director of a Wellness Centre that offered psychic readings and healing services. By 2007, I fell victim to a psychic crime unlike any other. The police later captured the perpetrator. He was later publicly named as a danger to society by the Supreme Court of Melbourne, Australia. I held my position as director for nine years, during which I recruited many psychic practitioners and gained a deeper understanding of the industry—if only to begin unravelling the many questions I had myself.
Today, I would like to share an excerpt from my book, Pandora’s Box, Chapter 2: Psychics.
Not all psychics are on the spiritual path, but all spiritual people can become psychics
“Not all psychics are on the spiritual path, but all spiritual people can become psychic.”
It is the spiritual element, the personal developmental aspect of self-healing and the responsibility of self that becomes the basis for a good spiritual healer.
A psychic who is able to ‘channel’ or act as a medium for example, is someone who receives messages from spirit as an external source or entity.
The psychic becomes a ‘vessel’ or ‘carrier’ and the information received is channelled and bypasses the logical mind to be delivered to the recipient. For some, it is a skill or ‘gift’ that exists at birth within them.
And here in can lay the problem—some practitioners have a great deal of ability but do not use their gift responsibly in a spiritual manner. A practitioner who is on the spiritual growth path is the better type of practitioner.
The Spiritual Path in Psychic Practice
A spiritually evolved person who is a gifted psychic may not start on a spiritual path. They may develop their spiritual path and their voice from their life experience, by overcoming trauma, opening up the heart space or with the lessons that come with age.
Such a person can develop compassion, reason, and clear boundaries. They learn to take responsibility for their own shadow and their own levels of healing on physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels. A person, who becomes open psychically, becomes a vessel for spirit.
The development of one’s intellect as well as one’s emotional intelligence is imperative to the growth and ability of any practicing psychic; just as it is for any health practitioner.
Development of intellect helps with the discernment of information that is received from spirit.
Maintaining a clear auric field and channel is also imperative for a medium—the skill does not lie in the gift alone, it also lies in the management and appropriate application of that gift.
Just as a surgeon applies his skill to helping patients, a psychic must also practice with responsibility, appropriate preparation and education.
Psychic Self Defence
A psychic must know psychic defence and recognise when they are unable to deal with certain energies and close down a session to ensure as a channel, they too stay safe.
To attain and maintain a position of clarity requires ongoing personal development, self-care and self-evaluation and the evolution of one’s soul to ensure the witness of energy remains the witness and does not become its victim.
A sensitive psychic who has experienced a difficult or a challenging upbringing might have belief systems that are weak and distorted. Unless they choose to work on the issues they developed in childhood, buried pains will remain within the psychic’s auric field and can create attachment areas vulnerable to manipulation by less favourable energies.
This is not to say that all people who have had a difficult upbringing will have difficulties—it is making the point that those who have serious unresolved issues will bring these issues to any work they do with others.
The Absence of Regulation and Psychic Practice
Psychics that are in their own pain can set themselves up for using their psychic gifts, which in the current absence of regulation and any mandatory training required, anyone can do.
They can open their door to everyone; befriend their clients in need, satisfying to some degree their own sense of loneliness and feelings of inadequacy, and in worse case scenarios, feed of their client’s pain to validate themselves and substantiate feelings of self-worth.
If they have only their gift to rely on, they escape with this gift, entering the field of spirit where all at first appears infinite, perfect, and beautiful and pain free. It becomes like a drug. When they arrive back to their pain and inner reality, they bring with them unfavourable energies and are manipulated by the lower vibrational emotions such as greed, control, jealousy and deceit.
They then project out the evils that have connected to their own damaged internal environment. They have become a portal for negative energies and attachments, physical and energetic.
For some, they remain unconscious of this fate as the conditions of bipolar or schizophrenia start to take hold, their vessel now inhabited by not one, but two or maybe more types of spirit attempting to override the benevolent one, the latter reaching out in sweetness to convince others that all is well.
It is a sad state and also a dangerous one.
