Psychic & Magic Etiquette
© 2012 GypsyJaguar
Confidentiality and Trust
The subject matter that is focused on while giving readings or performing magic for others is usually based on very personal issues and situations. These should be treated with the utmost respect and privacy. In order for someone to come to you for advice, they need to feel safe with you. They are working through issues and circumstances that are very delicate and emotional; things they do not particularly want others around them to know. Many may not even want anyone else to know that they even consult with a psychic or practitioner, for fear of ridicule from their friends or family. They are putting trust in you to keep their identity and the details of their personal experiences, thoughts and feelings to yourself.
When someone comes to you for help, they are also putting their trust in you to treat them and their concerns with respect, without judgment, criticism or condescension. Remember that everyone is in the right place along their own personal path. Although they may go about things in ways that you may not completely agree with, it doesn't mean they are going about it wrong. They may be going about things in a way that will eventually help teach them a very significant lesson. People can not learn lessons from others simply by having them pointed out to them. They need to figure it out for themselves in order to see the big picture. All you are meant to do is address their concerns and gently lead them to experiences of self-realization.
Interpretation and Discretion
Visions, messages, signs and omens are often shrouded in mysterious and multifaceted symbolism. One of the most misunderstood and misinterpreted of these is death. Messages or signs of death do not necessarily refer to a death of the physical body. They often represent situations, cycles, belief systems, or states of mind that are dying. Many times these experiences can feel like a physical death in the way we try to hold on to our old way of being and grieve for the loss of it. This is reflected in the signs and messages that surround us at the time as well.
If you have a vision, message or any other sign of someone dying, becoming ill, having an accident, or otherwise coming to harm, use discretion about sharing this information. If you've misinterpreted your information, as in a sign of symbolic death, you could cause a great deal of unnecessary worry.
People are affected on a very deep level when it comes to the concept of death and bodily injury. Some people may dwell on the possibility so much that they become paranoid with worry about what may happen. This can actually cause them to create the energy that draws the circumstance to them sooner. In some instances, some people may become so scared that you knew this information, that they may end up blaming you for the incident happening in the first place.
Remember that everything happens for a reason and sometimes there is nothing you or anyone else can do to alter it. Often, bad things happen in order for us to learn specific lessons in our lives. It isn't always beneficial to know the future. Sometimes it's better to just experience it first hand.
The time to share information of this nature is when there is obviously something that can be done to alter it. For instance; if you knew that someone would become ill due to an excess of a particular food or lifestyle, then they can do something to change it, by eating more wisely, avoiding a particular food or exercising more. Another example would be if someone caused an accident due to an error in judgment that you were aware of; like driving while exhausted, when they could have had someone else drive or stay over at a friends house.
Use your instincts and intuition. If you feel any apprehension in sharing something, it is usually best not to. Try to focus on the things that can be learned and choices that are more beneficial.
Avoid using your abilities and conducting readings when you are in an unbalanced mood or state of mind, especially when you are angry, upset, depressed or confused. These emotions will cloud your judgment, therefore leading you to make unwise decisions, receive inaccurate information and send out negative energy detrimental to your progress.
Manipulation and Control
Some people who are reawakening to their psychic and/or magical abilities tend to fantasize about and practice manipulating and controlling others. They may feel they have to showcase or prove their abilities and newly realized amounts of personal power, or they may seek revenge on those who have hurt them in the past.
Those who cast controlling spells, wish ill or harm, manipulate or assume any other form of control over someone else, whether it is another person, an animal, spirit, or entity, are using their powers for self-serving means.
True magic can be performed without interfering with the will of others. You can also get what you want without taking it from someone else. When you live a magical life, synchronizing your energies with the natural cycles around you, you begin to recognize the complimentary energies to help you achieve your goals.
Manipulating energies to negate or work against others may get you what you want at the moment, but it may also cause a great deal of distress to those around you which will eventually lead to problems for you down the road. With regular practice you may very well end up pushing many allies away.
You can use your projective abilities in a healthier and balanced way by practicing non-invasive wishing, praying and contemplating, positive affirmations, projective healing, creative expression and healthy spirit communication.
" He who controls others may be powerful, but he who has mastered himself is mightier still."
- Lao Tse
Using Our Abilities
Always remember that you do not have to prove yourself to anyone else. To have a need to prove ourselves to others shows that we do not have faith in our own abilities; that we need recognition from others to receive reassurance that we can not give to ourselves. If we allow too much Ego into our work, we will only end up disproving ourselves anyway.
To successfully use our psychic or magical abilities, we must separate ourselves and others from any information and energy we receive and/or send out. Remove yourself and all others from the situation, set aside your conscious mind; your issues, your opinions and thoughts. These will only cloud your purity of incoming data, as well as the energy you send out.
Negative energy repels ~ positive energy attracts. To attract what we want to us, we need to focus on the idea and feeling of it in an open-hearted and balanced state of mind. We should not concentrate on something particular that may be merely adequate, when there may be an even better one out there, more suited to us, that we may not have even thought of or known about. Be open to all possibilities and you will be amazed at what comes to you.
Always keep in mind how your thoughts, will and actions directly influence everyone around you. We are all connected. If you wish to make your dreams come true, you must look beyond your own motives and desires to see the big picture. And always ask yourself; "Is this for my highest and greatest good and the good of all?" If the answer is no, then you may want to reconsider your actions.
