Playing Music and the Psychic Float

People like to ask how I do my psychic work. I sometimes call it my psychic float, which means I drift to another place in my mind, almost another dimension. Today I realized it is a bit like playing music.

As many of you know, my Mommy died last August. Holidays are hard right after you lose a loved one, so on New Year's Eve I promised myself a prize. First I made a bucket list of things of what I can do in my 60's that I might not be able to do in my 70's, and on that list was to play music as a solo act (should I call myself One Band Jan?). I bought a new keyboard and speakers and a mixer, and now I spend a lot of time with practice and song selection.

Singing is right brained and piano is left brained. It's quite difficult to do them at the same time. but it does strengthen the connections between both sides of the brain. My psychic work is the same. I use my right brain, my intuition, to float to a place of concentration, but my advice to clients and friends need to be carefully chosen, which is left brained.

I believe each of you has a similar story. Try to notice when you float to another zone to think creatively. Make use of your best gifts.

Intuition and Kindness

I stood in line at a McDonalds with my children, who were six and 13 at the time. The man in front of me pulsed with negativity.

"Bad man alert," my brain screamed.

I wanted to dash but my son loved his burger and toy and I seldom took him for fast food. I told myself to stay calm and figure out why I wanted to leave. When I floated to my "knowing" zone I could see the bad man on the previous day. He had a knife. He stabbed a man in the leg. Both of them did awful things. Both were at fault. But today the man looked calm and I knew he wouldn't hurt us. I tried to think of other things, the joy on my son's face as he devoured his burger. It didn't work.

"Come on, kids, we have to leave."

I grabbed my son's hand, moved quickly and tried not to look at his sad and bewildered face. My daughter was old enough to know that something had to be wrong for me to act so rashly. In the car I sat and shook, then told both of them what I had seen. I got their meals from the drive through window.

My abilities are similar to everyone else's....the talent to understand what people are REALLY saying, the knowledge that someone has pain and needs kindness, and the capacity to know who wields goodness and who should be avoided. In this New Year, avoid negative people when your inner voice speaks. Trust your intuition. Embrace those you love.
