 Growing up psychic can be a confusing experience- My personal story...I have always been very sensitive to the moods and needs of others; I have always been able to 'see' what is going on at core level for other people and 'feel' what they are feeling. I have also always been fascinated by and enjoy people. That skill or trait (and I do believe it to be both a trait and a skill individually), I personally believe is the first step to psychic awareness.
To be able to really understand someone, simply by putting them in a space in front of you where you listen to them with all of your being. How many people can really say they have ever had this experience? The feeling of another human being really understanding their essence?
Perhaps you are reading this because you see that same skill/ability in yourself or your children? A difference, a sensitivity for others. A warmth and caring about them that you can't quite put your finger on why they are different? My story then, is for you. My intention is to give you a tool where in sharing my story and the details of my growing up, you might identify something in yourself or a loved one that allows you to foster growth; understanding; love; acceptance. Isn't this what changes the lives of all of us?
I don’t remember having my first ‘vision’, it was just something that was always there, I thought everyone knew what I sensed and picked up on about other people. Looking back I suppose I just assumed people didn't talk about it; that adults didn't talk about the 'real' stuff! I remember always trying to 'act as if' like other people, because I always felt different.
This is an important part of my sharing- if you notice someone withdrawing; if you know they are sensitive; and if they tend to make grand statements about the truth of things, and you see the truth in them, you may have on your hands a latent psychic. I never felt able to talk about it to anyone, even when as a teenager I began to realise other people didn't see or feel the same. I don't see that as sad although yes, I obviously grew up in a dysfunctional family environment where no-one talked about anything.
How did I cope? I immersed myself in books. Having no-one to talk to about my increasing visions & feelings meant I grew up a very frightened child and it became a great source of anger, frustration and confusion, so I buried and ignored it as much as possible.
This was huge for me coming into teenagehood because I went from talking to my Spirit Guides and listening to the messages of my dreams and seeing other people's current energy blocks to shutting down emotionally. I ran away from home; I got in fights at school; I walked my dog for kilometers every day.
I also tried to ignore visitors from the astral realm, even when they were particularly insistent, and I pretended that the orbs I was seeing were tricks of my eyes.
I remember a stage through my teens where I would just cry because I was scared of them still; there were some energy vibrations I just couldn't get rid of consciously and couldn’t talk about it. I gained some confidence back when at the age of 16 an American Indian appeared in the shower, pointed at me with great power and said, ‘you are going to go through a lot of change’. That sums up what the next ten years of my life were like!
I graduated high school in 1994. Still not knowing my calling, I travelled for several years, working in areas such as retail, health and fitness , and hospitality, in locations as varied as northern NSW, Cairns, Perisher Valley NSW, the Victorian Snowy Mountains, and Tamworth, and visiting places such as Tin Can Bay and Great Ocean Road.
In 1999, whilst working as a Health Educator for Hippocrates Health Centre of Australia, I gave my first psychometry reading at a spiritualist gathering. Feeling stunned and uncomfortable at how accurate I was, I avoided this part of myself again for several more years, going on to study and excel with a Diploma of Counselling, starting a family and owning and running a business.
Throughout my twenties I had continued to read Osho Zen Tarot cards for friends, and occassionally still try to tell people the visions I was seeing and sensations I was sensing, but it was largely confronting and I did not explain myself well as I still did not identify what was going on and why I had always been so different!
My life began to change drastically when at the age of 28 my partner and I broke up. I moved to Brisbane with our two children to begin studying a Psychological Science Degree and try to reconnect with myself. As I became more of myself, I met two key people over the few years that helped me gain the courage to follow my path. The rest as they say is history!
I began reading Osho Zen Tarot in a new age store, and allowed guides to start dropping in, and the visions all came flooding back. This time, however, I was ready. The more I used my gifts, the stronger, clearer, and further they developed. Here we are today! Thank-you for being interested in my story!
My logo...The Eye of Horus in the centre of my starburst was channelled with my guides while designing my website. The eye is represented as a figure with six parts. These six parts correspond to the six senses- touch, taste, hearing, thought, sight, smell. The eye is the receptor of input. It has these six parts to receive data. So my logo means "In peaceful love I know all of you with all of myself". [Click here to read an interview with KristyV Psychic.]
