Interview With a Psychic: Christine

Describe how you first found out about your psychic abilities.

I started Kindergarten in Catholic school. I wish I could say that my experiences started after I started school but they didn’t. They began when I was a baby in my crib. I had my first experience. I had seen something with wings. No it wasn’t an angel.

I tried to be a normal kid going up. Going to Catholic school was downright creepy. I would see people who I know didn’t belong there. I would see dark shadows in the hallways. I didn’t even like being in the classrooms alone. I didn’t tell anyone what I was seeing. In that day and age you would get locked away for seeing the things that I did. I just dismissed things that I saw as dreams or my imagination. Or so I tried to.

Things did not get any easier with my abilities as I grew up. We had an unusual wave of funerals while I was growing up. I would literally see the person that passed in the funeral home. Plus, I would see a few of my other dead relatives that had passed. I think that is when I started talking to them to ask them if, well they were real. When they would talk back to me I still thought I was going crazy. I still hadn’t told anyone to this point. Who would believe me so I kept it all to myself and hoped deep down I that I wasn’t nuts.

I started having other abilities. I would have premonitions. I seemed to be connected to the universe in some odd way. I could tell when an earthquake was going to happen. I can still do that sometimes now. I am extremely crabby before one happens. Usually it is the big ones. When I was in 7th grade I was looking out the window. Not paying any attention to my teacher. I was watching these birds circling over and over and I just felt the need to hold on to something. My teacher asked me if what was out the window was more important than his teaching. I said yes I think it is. These birds are circling in a way I have never seen them do. They are scared about something. Well, my teacher wasn’t too thrilled with that observation which is fine because that is when the earthquake hit and everyone ducked under their desks. When I got home I was shaking. Not from the earthquake either, it was the simple fact that I felt something was coming. That is the feeling I describe my premonitions as something bad is coming. I don’ t get good ones.

Not only was this happening to me I was blowing out light bulbs. I would turn my bedroom light on and bam, it was out. Then I realized that when my temper is really up glass breaks. Glasses, windows, and vases you name it. It is like I can feel the vibrations of the glass before it explodes. I still do it when I am mad and when I am casting spells. The candle holder explodes. My husband and son witnessed it one day. He is used to me doing it as well as shorting out the house, draining batteries. I can’t even wear a watch. The batteries die. My husband thinks I even drain the batteries in the remote and anything else in the house.

These things weren’t going away growing up. Not only could I see things I could hear them. Sometimes I could even smell them. I still had no one to talk about it to. I didn’t even know what they were or why I was even having them. I tried asking the spirits around me they just told me it was something I will be figuring out for myself.

I think finally I told my parents. Don’t quite remember their reaction. I do think they thought I was nuts. Or something was seriously wrong with me. One morning I was getting ready for school I happened to see my Uncle Allen behind me in the mirror. I turned around and no one was there. I looked back in the mirror and there he was again. I turned around again and nothing. I looked at the mirror to ask him what he wanted he gave me a warning face and feeling that I could feel. So this is when I told my Mom I told her Uncle Allen was in the mirror and something is wrong with Aunt Elsie. Then I went to school thinking the whole time when I get home I would be admitted somewhere. It was a long stressful day. I was picking up everything from everyone in school. I call this emotional overload. I get it when in traffic and in stores. Some days it is worse than others.

I got home that day and I was told that my Aunt was sick and they had to take her to the hospital So after that when I saw him I knew to tell my parents it meant Aunt Elsie was in trouble. Nothing else was said about it. That I recall anyway. When my Aunt Elsie passed I was in the basement doing school work while my parents were on the way to the hospital. I felt two hands on my shoulder and I turned around and they were both standing behind me. I had tears in my eyes because they were together and that meant she had passed. They smiled and then they were gone. My parents called shortly after and told me she had passed I told my Mom that I know they were here to say goodbye and I was still crying. It was good to see them. I knew then that death wasn’t final.

Somewhere growing up in my young years I learned to read cards. Or the cards talked to me. My parents and grandparents always played cards. I found them boring and tedious. We were at my Aunt Steffie’s house I took a deck that they weren’t using and I spread it on the floor and the cards just started telling me things. Oh what now I thought to myself. I was thinking my parents need to take me to see if I have a brain tumor or something. As I sat on the floor reading the cards and listening to what they were telling me my Mom asked what I was doing. I told her nothing at first then for some odd reason I blurted out that the cards were talking to me. Mom said interesting and my Grandmother well she had a look on her face that said something I was doing was really wrong. She said it was getting late and we should get going.

More and more abilities starting opening up after that I would be able to feel others feelings a lot more than I wanted to. I knew what kids in school were thinking about me. I kind of kept to myself because of my well stuff. It was making me sick picking up on things. I hated being in the school hallways or the classroom alone. I felt things that were well not human that I didn’t know how to handle. Evil in a Catholic school, go figure. It wasn’t good.

I can say that 8th grade was a turning point in my life when it came to my abilities and who I was becoming. 8th grade was the year of confirmation I started having doubts of what I wanted to do at this point. I didn’t believe what I was being taught I started doubting a lot of it. It was a very confusing time. I finally got mad then when it came to us talking about death when I decided to say that I see dead people. Yes I said it. We were talking about how Jesus is the only one who can come back from the dead. Blasphemy I was told. No I said truth I see dead people. I see my dead passed on relatives. Ok to the principal’s office.

Well more doubts and unanswered questions my teacher who was a nun any question I asked was becoming blasphemy. I just wanted honest answers I didn’t get them. I asked how come I see my relatives all the time I was told it was my imagination or I was seeing evil spirits disguised at my relatives. I think at this point my head was going to explode. I knew what I was seeing was my past family members. I saw good spirits and bad so I knew the difference.

High school was when my abilities started going out of control. I couldn’t stand being different and hiding what I was able to do. I decided I didn’t want to deal with it anymore. Especially because I no longer wanted to deal with death I didn’t want it in my life anymore, it hurt too much and my emotions were all over the place. I didn’t know my feelings from the ones I was feeling from everyone else. They seemed to overlap. I just couldn’t have this apart of me anymore. It was too complicated to deal with only my parents and a few close friends knew what I was going though. My Mom still had trouble dealing with it. I ran from it is the only way to put it. I would block it out it would be stronger I would fight seeing spirits they were more around me than normal. I always had goose bumps because spirits were all around me. They couldn’t get it that I did not want this. I started reading about psychics I didn’t’ like them and I didn ’t trust them. Come to find out I am one. I didn’t take it too well. A lot of denial and telling myself that this is not real it is a dream. Well wake up you are a psychic.

I had a decision to make do I keep running or do I embrace the face that I am psychic. I decided to just embrace it. It really did make life easier. I taught myself different ways to talk to the dead and how to develop my abilities better. Something I continue to do to this day. After this I was seeing spirits clear as day the colors of their clothes and facial features. That stayed with me for a few years. Sometimes I still see them that way now it is a really bad headache and I see them with my third eye. It is a second site psychics have. It continues to change over the years. I could see people who passed in all walks of life and everywhere I went. The soul lives on while the vessel is let go.

When I had a near death experience a few years ago, my abilities seemed to take on a different energy. I even was blessed with the gift of healing energy. Which I have also been expanding on.

Describe your skills.

My space is smudged and I welcome positive energy in. I then call upon my guardians and my guides to assist me in doing my readings. I am usually very laid back in my readings. I am myself and it puts people at ease and they are more open to talk with me. I am very empathic as I can put myself in a clients shoes, so to speak. I have been told that I really make people feel comfortable. Some have told me that my energy just seems to make them feel at ease.

There are a few readings I don’t feel comfortable with doing. One of them is time readings or time frame readings. You see to me I feel that time is different in the Spirit World then what our worlds time frame is. I feel when they want something to happen it will. I will however, if asked do the time frame by tarot.

I also don’t do health or pregnancy readings. I feel health and pregnancy readings should be done by a professional. Not me. Other than that I am pretty laid back at what I do. I am me plain and simple. I am direct, I don’t beat around the bush. I tell you what spirit wants you to know not what you want to hear. Sorry too many people expect what they want to hear and it isn’t always the case. The reason is Spirit tells what it wants.

My primary tool is really my intuition. If I need tarot I will use it. I will also use Numerology if it calls for it. I do Compatibility readings with Numerology. It tells me how compatible you are to the person you are asking about. Sometimes I will use a few of tools that are calling on me at the moment.

For example, if someone is going though a tough time. I will offer to surround them with a Reiki energy circle. Some situations seem to put more stress on people and Reiki seems to help.

I am unique as I am empathic and I can relate to my client and what they are feeling. I offer a deeper sense of compassion from it I believe. I am trained in many different studies so I am able to assist my clients in many different ways.

I am unique so I can set the reading energy to be a positive feel and put my clients at ease by just being myself. Talking to them just as if they have known me for years.

Can you communicate with spirits who have passed on?

Yes… I truly don’t understand how it works. As a young child and adult now, I can tell if there is a spirit inside a place. I just can feel or sense their presence. Sometimes they don’t want me there. Other times they will just have a conversation with me.

Sometimes they talk to me though my third eye, sometimes I see them sometimes I don’t, sometimes I have to use my pendulum in order to get anything out of them. I also have special tarot readings that I do for communicating with spirits. It seems to open the door more. I have the coming and going in our house

I never know when someone will try to talk to me. I had an experience with my husband’s Grandma after she passed. My husband’s Grandmother had passed a few days before this experience. I was standing in line at Arby’s and she started talking to me. She was saying that I need to tell her Grandson this and that. She was going on and on. I was holding back tears not to cry. I guess I made a face and the guy behind the counter said our food would be ready soon. I said OK. My husband walked up behind me to ask what the wait was. By this point tears started falling and he asked what was wrong and I told him. He said I will get the food you can go in the car.

I have communicated with many of them over the years ever since I was a young child. It made not fear death as much. I knew that there was an other side. With my own near death I learned that there is defiantly another side. One that people are always looking and seeking answers for some.

Are you able to turn your psychic abilities ‘on’ or ‘off’ when you want to?

No I can’t turn them on and off like a switch. I tried that years ago. I found an exercise in a psychic book that you can turn them on and off when you needed to. Well that did not work for me. I ended up with migraines that were tormenting me. So I abandoned that. I feel that because I am empathic that it wasn’t right for me to try to shut them off when so many people need help and someone to talk to who understands.

There is truly never a dull moment in my life with my abilities. Just the other night my husband left for work. I rolled over and a little “spirit” boy was trying to hand me something. I was too tired I just rolled over and went to bed. They seem to follow him home to talk to me.

I sense natural disasters before they happen at times. I get completely drained being empathic from hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes etc. People stop me in stores and just start telling me things some their life story, needing advice, some just feel they are drawn to me and start talking to me. Drives my husband nuts because I am very polite and I don’t want to be rude. I wasn’t raised that way.

In a store I can sense a couple fighting and why. Sometimes I actually if I get near them try to talk to them and tell them what they need to know. In a store once I felt the meat cutting machine was dangerous I went over and let the lady know and she told me thank you for letting her know. She put the machine down for repair. Then told me that they had been having trouble with it. I told her straight out I saw someone’s finger or fingers coming off.

So yes it is always in the way of having a normal life. If it didn’t I really don’t think I would feel normal. Without it I think life for me would be pretty boring.

What is life like living with these abilities?

At times when you meet someone and they ask what you do. Mainly it was the growing up with them. Not having anyone to talk to about them. Hard for people to surprise me. I have to ask my guides to let me be surprised. Otherwise, I know what gift I am getting and that really gets tiring.

There are many things in life that are easier. My way of handling death has really changed. I know what my son is up to before he even tells me. I told him doesn’t it stink that I am psychic some days.

I can talk to my animals and sometimes know what they are feeling at times. I just really never thought of what life is liking living with them. I have had them since I was born.

Do you think anyone can develop psychic skills?

OK well this one is always complex to answer. In my personal opinion yes I feel that anyone can but, I feel they can develop them to a point. Not at a point where someone is born with the abilities. Natural born like me. With certain studies though I do feel that a person can develop some psychic skills. Even though reading books but never to the extent of someone who is a natural-born psychic. I don’t feel that can be accomplished.

What do you like best about working with PsychicNetworkers?

I like the fact that I can reach out and help someone’s outlook on their situation get better. I like that I can put a client’s mind at ease when they feel all is lost. I like that I have this gift and I have made it my calling to help others. Clients can contact me day or night and when I sign on I can send them a message when I will be on. I like that you can reach people from around the world.

Do you get readings for yourself?

Yes, I do readings for myself. I feel it helps me gain a better understanding of my day or situation. I find sometimes that it is difficult. I can read for myself I have to write a lot more down and go back to it. If I do have a reading from someone usually it is from a close friend or one of my mentors.

Is there anything else you would like to share about your abilities?

I keep it real. I tell people what you see is what you get. When I do readings I have to tell people I will tell you what spirit wants “you” to know not what “you” want to hear from me. I don’t charge for my gift but the time that I spend using it.

My practice has developed more into a Psychic Life Coaching not just a psychic reader. I can’t help you find answers you are looking for to change your life. I can help show you where you need to be and how to get there. I have deep compassion for those who come to me for help. Sometimes people just need someone non judgmental just to listen to them. I am there for that as well.

I hope my services inspire and help people and their situations/life. So many have abilities and they don’t know what to do. So many people need answers but are afraid of Psychics we don’t bite. We are like everyone else but we have a few gifts we have been blessed with. Be real and be you.
