Happy Fall Equinox!

Psychic Readings by Kathleen

Research on ways of knowing which are beyond the intellect gained a marked impetus in 1983 when psychologist Howard Gardner, a professor of cognition and education at Harvard, wrote a book, Frames of Mind on his theory of multiple intelligences.  Gardner challenged the dominance of IQ as a measurement of intelligence saying that there were other crucial forms of intelligence that had no correlation with IQ.  He identified seven (there is that magical number 7!) and much to his surprise his theory resonated to a degree he never would have expected.  His book became an overnight bestseller. His greatest contribution was to get us thinking in terms of multiple intelligence.  Many of you have probably heard of Daniel Goleman’s work Emotional Intelligence.  Goleman argued that qualities such as empathy, self-awareness, and persistence were likewise crucial components of this intelligence, and that they could be taught.  Goleman also pointed to the limits of IQ as a measure of intelligence and made a compelling argument that emotional intelligence, of which gut feelings are a component, enable a different kind of knowing.  Like Gardner, Goleman hit a collective nerve.  His book also become an overnight publication success.

My experience in life and in my work especially leads me to believe there is yet another kind of intelligence so far missed in the grand schema of psychology, which I would describe as intuitive intelligence.  What if every peculiar knowing was about activating an intelligence that facilitated a capacity to see things as they are, even if we’re unable to define it?  My clients often ask me, “Kathleen, how can you know what you do?! We’ve never even met.  I don’t get it!!”

And to be honest I cannot describe it very well either.  I try but it ends up sounding rather silly and inane.  I keep hoping an intelligent explanation or at least description will cross my path or reveal itself out of the well of my own psyche.

I can read another person accurately because I become them.  I know them from the inside because I’ve stopped being separate.  I go where they are (which is why geographical proximity is not as relevant as the connection I feel with the person).  I draw upon how connected we all are so I really am seeing with their eyes when I read them.  All I have to do is get myself out of the way which involves being mindful about who and what I take in psychically and physically.  If I am overstressed or tired (and no I don’t drink because any form of substance that artificially alters my consciousness is definitely going to interfere with connection!) or emotionally charged, my performance starts slipping like an injured athlete’s body.  I will suggest to clients they wait until the next day for their reading if I’m not feeling in top form.  So I do know for sure there is a brain activity involved.  I think when readers’ lives or psyches are in disarray they really can’t tune into another person’s reality.  When you are seeing an intuitive either for a reading or healing, I recommend you always ask how they are. If they are not in good shape you can be sure it’s going to be almost impossible for them to get themselves out of the way to read or heal you. This is why I’ve stopped doing parties, events or shows.  I found by the last client I was really too tired to do as good a job as I had with the first person I’d worked with which really wasn’t fair.

When I have to rebook a client I hope they understand it’s for their benefit more than mine.  I think most of you do understand that the work looks much less demanding that it actually is.  Drawing upon intuitive intelligence is as demanding a task as drawing upon any of the other forms of intelligence.  If you ever taken an IQ test, you’ll remember how exhausted you felt by the end of it.  Getting ourselves out of the way involves putting all our psychic muscle to work to shoulder our own egos off to the side and our egos tend to be weighty.  I recommend it though.  There is no better exercise for the mind and spirit.

Quote:

In the Native American tradition, as well as in Hinduism and Buddhism, that psychic plane, that inner “invisible” world from which, in darkness, imagery comes forth, is the “other world,” or the real world, what we all see “normally” is the world of maya, the false world, the world that is not but appears to be.”
