Are your personality flaws actually your greatest gift as a psychic medium?

Are your personality flaws actually your greatest gifts as a Psychic Medium?

7/21/2016

I can be quite stubborn. Oh... and rather intense. Correction... VERY intense.

Plus I like to talk. A lot. And when I get going I can move into quite a passionate display of over-the-top verbal communication.

I'm also pretty dramatic and enjoy - umm... no love... umm... need(?) - an audience...

There have been times in my life that I have felt, well, insecure and ultra sensitive about these personality traits of mine. Especially when folks are looking at me like I'm crazy as I passionately and dramatically express myself about something around which I feel great intensity.

Right... I am also ultra sensitive... I feel. Too much...

I have often judged myself pretty harshly and tried to correct or even eradicate these personality 'flaws'.

However, when I was learning to develop my psychic abilities I began to see that my 'flaws' were actually my greatest gifts. My stubbornness, passion and intensity became THE reasons that I pushed through and eked out every single opportunity to study, learn and practice my skills while simultaneously homeschooling my son and operating my own retail store full time six days a week. My 'ultra sensitive' side was the reason I could connect with the spirit world. My verbosity (well developed communication skills!) and my proclivity towards the dramatic coupled with my delight in having an audience made me a natural as a demonstration medium. I not only brought spirit through, I could also mimic and express to a "T" their personality traits, by dramatizing them and have rocked the platform many times during my mediumship demonstrations.

Take a moment now to make a list of those of your traits you perceive as a weakness. Not sure? What have you been criticized for by others in the past? What do you feel insecure about? What personality traits have you been trying to change, fix or solve? I will bet dollars to donuts that those are the very things that would make you a wonderful psychic, intuitive counselor or medium. The very things that would make you successful. The very reasons you would be sought out for your services!

Too much of a perfectionist? Wonderful. Your attention to detail would make your psychic readings very thorough. And you wouldn't settle for a less than strong, solid link with spirit. So you'd push for that.

Too sensitive? Fabulous. Making the connection with spirit would be easy peasy for you and with some guidance and training you'd be unstoppable.

Have a strong tendency to try to rescue others? Awesome. Learning how to appropriately channel that gift would make you a super duper and much sought after, appreciated healer.

Post your perceived personality weakness in the comments. Then let's see how they translate into your strength as an intuitive, psychic and/or medium!

Hi Maryanne,

Intense, sensitive and talker... review my post - we share those! Those are wonderful qualities in someone who wants to bring messages from spirit and the spirit world via the spoken word. Session work, live mediumship demonstrations, etc. would be great ways to put those qualities to work for you in a 'service to others' capacity.

Ethereal... love this. Makes you a natural connector with the spirit realm. However grounding for you would be very important.

Fixer... natural healer when that tendency is channeled appropriately. Maintaining boundaries = very important.

Constantly changing... makes for a host of possibilities in how you can serve the world with your gifts.

Over thinker... great inspirations and ideas can come with this quality. The more you develop and apply your intuitive gifts in your life and in service to others, the calmer your over thinking mind will become. Over thinking also translates into having a natural gift of claircognizance. Training and practice would help you develop this part of your natural skill set.

Thanks for sharing!

Perfectionist, healer-want to heal the world, over sensitive, help others all my life, talk when messages are given, talkative & serious, listener, observant & distracted, visionary, hear sounds & talking & looking around, know things without being told, very feeling, talkative & then withdrawn.
See the good in others, even when they are not nice.

Alysia,

Sounds like you are very empathic and intuitive. All of what you have listed would make you a natural fit for intuitive counseling, healing and / or spirit communication. Proper training and practice would be recommended to help you hone, focus and establish the appropriate foundation and boundaries to safely and effectively use your gifts.

Thanks for chiming in!

Some of my "weaknesses" include taking myself very seriously, being sensitive, an introvert and highly logical. I can also be quick to judge a person or situation without allowing for alternate points of view simultaneously.

Hi Megan,

Sensitive = natural born empath, intuitive, healer potential.

Introvert = strong and natural ability to go within, which lends itself beautifully to meditation and availing yourself of your inner guidance.

Highly logical and quick to judge tendencies are foundations for claircognizance. It is my strong sense that as you develop most of your psychic information will come in through this channel and these tendencies you currently feel are "weaknesses" will shift up the continuum and become your greatest strengths.

Taking yourself too seriously is really an instant feedback system. Bringing your awareness more and more to when you are being too serious gives you all the information you need to lighten up! Serious can be good, like when you take your gift seriously and want to hone and develop it so you can use it for good. As you do so your 'seriousness' to will move along that continuum, too, becoming THE opportunities for you to laugh and lighten up. :)
