First, I would like to get some definitions out of the way so seekers can understand how I approach readings…
Intuitive
“Intuition is a combination of historical (empirical) data, deep and heightened observation and an ability to cut through the thickness of surface reality. Intuition is like a slow motion machine that captures data instantaneously and hits you like a ton of bricks. Intuition is a knowing, a sensing that is beyond the conscious understanding — a gut feeling. Intuition is not pseudo-science.†Abella Arthur
An intuitive is someone who has mastered the art of listening and memory recall in an instant, to the point that they are often not cognizant of where the information is coming from
Psychic
There are many different types of psychics with Clairvoyant being the most “popular” term. However, there are strong feelers, healers, thinkers, tasters, etc.. Basically a psychic uses the 5 senses in otherworldly ways — this is often called: The Sixth Sense. Ways that are not currently catalogued and acknowledged in the scientific world.
Spiritual
Being spiritual is a state of being rather than necessarily following dogmatic rules, as in religion. Spirituality is less strutured in its determination; however, if you want to be structured spiritually you can. It’s about connecting to source or whatever you wish to call anything beyond oneself, in a way that’s personally meaningful.
Tarot
The Tarot is an allegory of life. It’s a set cards (traditionally 78 — 22 major and 56 minor) of symbols, pictures, and text which bring synchronistic meaning to the seeker, also known as the querant (questioner)
Divination
There are literally hundreds of ways to divine. Divining is a unscientific (can not be duplicated under scientific controls and measures) form of providing information about the past, present, and/or future.
Some examples of divinatory techniques are: Tarot, astrology, tasseography (tea leaf reading), and bibliomancy (random selection of passages from a book), and more… (obscure techniques)
Medium
A medium is someone who receives information from beyond. Whether that be from those that have passed over, spirit and spirit guide(s), angels, God, or otherworld beings.
Chaneler
A chaneler is someone who makes contact with the beings that mediums do but allow the beings to use their body, voice, etc.. to communicate in this earthly realm.
Telepath
Telepaths can read minds but not in the way people think. 🙂 I’m a telepath and make energetic connections with people but I don’t read all their thoughts; I just read what I need to know. Example. I’m reading cards and I want to hone in on specific information, I can “pick up” what the person wants to know so that I can offer better information from what I see in the cards. Telepathy only works if the sender and receiver choose to connect. If the other person chooses to scramble their thoughts, they then become unreadable to me in the telepathic realm.
Abella’s Three C’s of Readers’ Communication Styles
Counselor — one who listens and provides analysis about what’s being discussed.
Coach — one who asks a lot of questions, helps you achieve goals, and keeps you running at top order.
Consultant — one who offers advice based on wisdom, education, and/or experience.
