I'd like to hear of personal experiences from some of you who have given a reading to a client that you did not personally know. I want to hear experiences, feelings, emotions linked to your first professional reading. why? I have been attending a psychic medium group now for about 3 months. In our last meeting, we were all given an opportunity to Channel our classmates guides. My instructor called on me to be 2nd. I was so nervous but stood up, shook it off and actually did it! Not only did guides come through with messages but so did entities and my classmates all gave me great feedback and confirmations. My instructor told me I burned a whole through the carpet and wished he had had a tape recorder because I took on the identity of the guide coming through as I spoke.. I did not even realize I did this. WELL.. He has since decided to start a Monthly psychic fair that will allow up and coming readers the opportunity to give readings to walk-in's who attend the fair. It will be made known to the individuals that we are just starting out and have not read professionally before. I responded in e-mail with, "I'd love to but the thought terrifies me. What if I freeze?" His words, "You Freeze ??? Plu - ease ... You'll rock the house Girl ..." So, obviously he has confidence in me. I'm sure with the help of my guides I could overcome the fear but I'd like to hear what others felt when they gave their first reading. I'd like to know what it's like and how you overcame your fear of speaking exactly what you were being lead to say to someone you've never met before. I overcame my fear in class by drawing peace to myself and I'm sure it helped that I was surrounded by people that even though I don't know them personally, I've seen their faces and I also found comfort in knowing they all were feeling nervous as well and in the same spot so they'd understand if I froze or freaked out which thank God I didn't. Thanks!
