Our ability of psychic-mediumship communication allows us to receive, interpret, and use information from our environment—matter and energy—for insights, validations, and meaning. We all have the ability to do this although some people are more naturally inclined to see, hear, sense the information and make the connection than others…but everyone can learn (or relearn) and expand this capability.
Because we are all unique, there is an infinite way we receive, interpret, and engage this communication channel. Receiving can be through one sense or all the senses, through hearing that small voice, to feeling chills or something in the pit of the stomach, to having a thought pop in your head. Interpretation engages our uniqueness even more by way of the impact of our life experiences, cultural, religious, new age understanding, and personal biases and character. This wide array of receiving and interpreting makes this part of psychic-medium communication subjective and very much a personal-only benefit.
The spectrum of interpreting information must expand and contract to meet the expectation of high-minded quality. Expansion in the way of reaching the “highest and best” in spiritual revelation; and contraction to eliminate the personal biases mentioned earlier, especially as it relates to new-agey spirituality. For example, the new age concepts of spirit guides, chakras, portals, lost or stuck souls, negative attaching entities, etc. etc. etc., do not belong in the interpretation and delivery of a psychic-medium professional service. Those concepts are of the reader, not the client.
When people make the decision to offer this ability as a service—the psychic-medium reading—the purpose then needs to be focused on delivery. And since the purpose of any service…to serve others…is to provide a noble benefit to the recipient, delivery of the information is paramount. The conversation of the reading honors the client, not the reader, through compassion, respect, and high ethical standards.
In a succinct phrase, “Do no harm” embodies the intent, work, and purpose of the medical profession. It also applies to any and all professional services to be sincere, honest, and ethical while providing the content of the service to ensure a high quality experience for the client.
The intent of a professional psychic-medium, one who advertises a reading service to the public, must then focus on the “do no harm” principle as well. “Do no harm” involves the quality content of the delivered message and the WAY the content is delivered. The conversation of the reading is the keystone of the service, where the reader establishes a relationship with the client, in that trust is placed in the reader and respect is given to the client.
If the reader does not focus on an honest and principled delivery, the reading turns into an unbounded blathering of their own understanding…it becomes more about themselves “as” a psychic-medium versus the service “of” the psychic-medium. This shows up in rude sometimes bullying language and one-upmanship positioning, disregarding relevancy and compassion of the intended service.
Focus aligns the purpose of the reading to the value received by the client. Focus aims at relevant and evidential information supporting the essence of the message. And focus assures that the customer matters, and the reading is conducted with standards of compassion and ethical behavior.
Today’s professional psychic-medium executes a service with meaning as well as manners through their focus on the quality of information, the professionalism of the conversation, and respect for the client.
