I received a feedback comment today saying I was too vague in an audience reading during an interview. She was right I was being vague.

Why?

I have a personal philosophy of NOT giving out personal information about people who are not present and asking for themselves. I did not make that clear at the beginning of the call.  The caller asked about a friend and the friend’s family. Once a question is asked, I am tuned in.

I am clairsentient, which means I FEEL the emotions of the person I connect to first, then I have to interpret the story of the emotion. If I was clairvoyant, I would be clear Seeing.

Also, once the emotion comes through my body I have to feel it through. I cannot just shake it off. I have to share a message, if there is one. I also want to share a message in a way that honors the person or persons involved.

This means, in public arenas, I sometimes have to say things without saying it. Hoping the person can read between the lines. Sometimes I will say that what is coming through is best not shared in front of a group.

Personally this is tough for me. I am very direct and it takes a lot more energy for me to hold back than just saying it like I see it. Something my clients and those closest to me know very well.

Most of us are used to everything being easily available on TV and the internet. People voluntarily expose all their darkest secrets for the world to see. We start to think that this is the norm.

From my personal experience, this is definitely not true. While people are becoming more open generally, most are still very selective as to who and how they expose their pain.

When I am in the role of a private Coach and/or Intuitive, people feel safe having their deepest sorrows and fears exposed. We all have deep seated pain, the only difference is the stories wrapped around the pain.

When I am doing a public workshop I am very conscious of the fact that information often comes through that the person may not want spoken in front of a group of strangers.

I am also aware that PEOPLE DO NOT EXPECT that information to come through, I have seen this time and time again over the years.

We are also desensitized to the pain of others. We are bombarded by stories of incest, rape, murder, suicide, catastrophes both real and created. We forget that the real stories are about real people with real emotions. How would you feel if it were you or your family?

Would you want your personal pain shared for the world to see without your permission?
