Notes from You Are Psychic

When I read, I highlight parts in the book. Usually, it's a sentence here and a sentence there. If an entire paragraph or passage speaks to me, I find the sentence that best captures what I like about the paragraph or passage and highlight that sentence.

I love going back to the books I have read and go through all the highlighted parts again. I always seem to get a lot out of it, and it almost feels as if I am reabsorbing the entire book.

I have decided to share the highlighted parts from some of the books I have read recently. Below is the first in this series.

These are the parts I highlighted in the book You Are Psychic by Debra Lynne Katz:

I closed my eyes and began talking about the images flashing in my mind.

Part of my job is to search for the 'right question' and answer that one.

This energy comes in the form of images, thoughts, sounds, feelings, etc. As soon as I start to look at the energy or image, it begins to change.

I have approached every single reading and personal experience from the perspective that whatever I was learning was not just for myself, but for my future students.

Some of you maybe be drawn to the book because of a single sentence; intuitively opening the book to a particular page where a much-needed message is waiting may be all you ever need from it.

Often you will otbtain information [in clairvoyance] that you could not possibly have obtaind through logical and physical means.

Reading other people helps you gain insights into your own situation because you will be drawn to read people who are mirrors for yourself.

[A clairvoyant] can see through the most convincing persona and reveal the true face behind the most deceptive mask.

A clairvoyant accesses information by connecting with a readee's spirit or the Universal Spirit and then brings this information into the physical and mental realms.

Many people have so much fear about what is behind the door to their own personal power and freedom that they choose to remain in the dark.

We live in the illusion that our thoughts are the truth.

Your spirit has [omniscient and omnipresent] abilities even when it is attached to a living body--your body.

Taking pills without addressing the spirit's needs is like putting bandaids on an amputated limb.

When you worry about what someone is doing (such as their choice of boyfriend) or try to convince them that they are wrong, what you are essentially doing is questioning God or the God within them.

Reading helps move and release energy for both the readee and the reader.

Just as with any experience in life, there is a spiritual reason why we see a particular movie at a particular time.

Oftentimes, along with a clairvoyant image you will receive a bonus from your intuition or knowingness [], which gives you instant awareness of what it is you are looking at.

There is a direct correlation between the clarity of my images and the clairvoyant ability and permissivenes of my readee.

When you are ungrounded, you are much more vulnerable to becoming the effect of whatever or whoever is around you, and other people may find it difficult or annoying to be in your presence.

Remember that a person has no more right to be in your [energy] field than they do to touch your physical body or enter your home without your permission.

Jet lag and culture shock could be minimized and even prevented if most people understood the concept of grounding in present time.

I know a lot of things I say in this book are going to make my readers uncomfortable and that is okay, because the purpose of this book is to provide techniques, tools, and methods for coping with whatever makes them uncomfortable.

I know that if my outer life is messy, my inner life is even messier!

If you can't deal with uncertainty or loneliness or even poverty, then you will always be a prisoner to what seem to be your needs but are really your desires.

Life does want to reward you for putting your dreams over your fears.

You should never use "should" in your questions!

I have seen the negative impact of too much caffeine on the throat and the fifth chakra in several readings.

So what I will be doing today is a clairvoyant reading, where I will be looking at different images that come up. Some of these will be symbolic, while others will have literal interpretations. As I talk, some things will make sense while other things may not make any sense at all. Eventually things will become clear.

I feel that it really is not the readee's responsiblity to ask the right question (although it helps!), but rather it is the clairvoyant who needs to learn how to work with the readee's question (or lack of questions) so that the readee will receive the communication they really need to know.

What I discovered is that the more I talked, the more images I saw. I even feared that if I didn't talk, the images wouldn't come.

If you are seeing something, there is a reason for it. Don't ever forget this.

As a clairvoyant, you can decide to read from either a space of problem solving or a space of validation.

A problem is merely a cognitive definition of how someone is emotionally reacting to a certain situation.

Havingness is a term that describes a person's level of permission to obtain or possess a particular thing or state of being.

The moment you clairvoyantly look at energy, it changes. The degree to which it changes is dependent on many factors. The most significant factor is the intention of the person receiving the reading or healing and their receptivity to change, followed by the intention of the person conducting the reading or healing.

Your reading may have been written into the script of the readee's life to alter the course of events.

The purpose of looking at the future is to see what action needs to be taken or altered in the present to achieve desired goals.

In the same way that there are entities that you cannot see because they vibrate at a different frequency and on a different plane or dimension of existence, there are people out there who cannot see or hear you. They may see your physical body, but beyond that they are only experiencing their own projections when they look into your eyes.

Some people are very afraid of clairvoyance because practice of their own abilities in other lifetimes resulted in violent persecution and death.

Then there are those individuals who have misused their abilities and authority in past incarnations and are therefore banned by certain guardian spirits and councils from having any awareness of these abilities. I have a theory that most hardcore skeptics fall into this category.

It is not appropriate to ask [a psychic] to prove to you prior to the reading that they are really psychic, or to expect them to spend more than five to ten minutes at the most discussing their reading approach.
