You always hear people ask why psychics did not see future events in their lives. Why didn’t they see it coming? I have known excellent psychics whose children died in tragic accidents and from horrible illnesses. I also know psychics who had a series of wonderful, unexpected events. They never saw these things coming. Whether good or bad, it is very difficult for sensitives to read for themselves. There are many reasons why.
Here are some factors:
- Psychics are not psychic all the time
- Emotions impact ability to read
- Health can interfere with reading
- Weather
- Fatigue
The first thing is that psychics are not psychic all the time. They go about their daily routines doing everything a non-psychic person would do. Like all of you reading, they have family to tend to and other obligations. They may volunteer somewhere, write, research, and any number of other tasks. Because of this, they are not sitting by themselves trying to get psychic impressions all day. In fact, using psychic abilities has a tendency to tire you out. A psychic would go mad reading all the time.
Second, emotions impact the ability to read. If you are going through a hard time, then your psychic skills may be off. The more upset you are, the harder it can be to sense things. If you have a death in the family, a job loss, or a relative’s illness, it can briefly wipe out your skills. This is temporary, but it has an effect.
Health is a huge factor. Many psychics suffer from some kind of medical issue. Most often it is some kind of autoimmune disease or headache problem. When these things act up, it becomes extremely difficult to use your skills. In fact, some psychics actively try to turn off their abilities when sick. The strain is too much.
This one may sound strange, but it is true. The weather can intrude on your abilities. Pressure changes can make headache disorders much worse. They can also make joint problems and autoimmune diseases act up. Weather also impacts others. It can be hard to read for someone if that person is closed due to their own illnesses getting worse due to weather fronts.
Fatigue is important. If you are too tired to function, then you certainly are not going to do any psychic readings. You know how it is when you don’t sleep well. Your work is not exactly stellar the next day. As we all age, we struggle with fatigue.
There are many reasons a psychic would not be able to read for themselves, but I think the most important factor involved is emotion. Things that are very important to you can make you unable to see much of anything. Reading for yourself always has this element. Your life is your personal world. The emotions tied to it are too strong. Let’s take the example of a psychic who has health problems. When you are simply struggling to live, you don’t see things. You can’t.
People make snarky comments if a psychic does not see a future event in their lives. What they don’t realize is that you don’t read for yourself because you are too invested. You can’t be objective. What you see may be totally wrong. It is why doctors should not treat themselves and lawyers should not represent themselves. This view that psychics should see everything all the time is simply wrong. Life doesn’t work that way in any circumstance. It would be like saying some oncologists died of cancer, so they are all frauds.
Psychic abilities are very touchy. Many things can interfere. Just because you may not be able to read for someone one day does not mean that you won’t the next. It is a skill that requires nurturing. Hopefully as we evolve as a species, we will discover how the psychic mind works. What factors make someone super accurate in an ability to predict the future? There is a physical origin for this; we just have not pinned it down yet. We have all had psychic experiences. One day you will know something is wrong with a loved one before being notified. Another time you will know when someone is going to call before it happens. It is there in all of us. We simply have to embrace it.
