I felt a great need for a psychic reading because like many others are experiencing at this time of history, parts of my life are changing rapidly. Who to turn to? I'm particular when it comes to having a spiritual psychic reading.
Yes, psychic readers like myself do find readings from another like-minded professional most helpful for insights and spiritual guidance. Litany Burns came to my mind as a reader I wanted to read me. The decision proved positive. In the first five minutes she spoke about my most important issue and that’s before I asked her. In that regards she and I are alike as readers, talk about the person’s energy without first hearing a question from her or him.
Litany’s reading did exactly for me what I say in my book, The Timeless Counselor: The Best Guide to a Psychic Reading –– it validated much of what I already knew, but had some doubts about, and also gave me another ways of seeing my situations.
As I suggest to all my clients, I recorded the session for later re-listening and perhaps hear more than during the reading.
Litany Burns has several books I have found most helpful, not only on a personal level, but as an ESP teacher. After reading and experimenting with the excercises suggested by Ms. Burns, I can comfortably recommend to students––Develop Your Psychic Abilities (And Get Them to Work for You in Your Life) and later The Sixth Sense of Children.
Many parents have asked me about their children’s unusual experiences and behavior, the children saying they pick things up or are seeing non-physical beings. Of course, I always tell parents to also check with their professional such as the child’s physician, psychologist and the likes, while contributing what I know about psychic children. Besides that I recommend Litany’s book since she herself was aware at a young age she had strong psychic abilities. As children with these abilities experience and as I wrote in my novel, The Skye in June, this can be seen as gift, at times, a curse.
I recently interviewed Litany. Enjoy!
When did you realize that you had strong psychic abilities? I don't know if there was one amazing 'Aha' moment when I realized I had psychic abilities. I feel, like most children, that I had these abilities all the time within me without thinking. Even when I began talking to a spirit guide at age 11- I had no idea at the time what that even was- I didn't think in terms of psychic or intuitive talents. The spirit was just a friend. As I learned more about these abilities, I realized they were more than just good advice, insights, etc. I shared with friends. They were predictions that came true, feelings that were right, and knowledge that had wisdom. I believe, as with all talents, developing your intuition is a process, a great one that can change your life in many good ways.
Was it difficult for you and for those close to you, to accept? Being a sensitive, a medium, without being aware of it as a talent was painful. As a child, I was ridiculed for being so sensitive. At age four, I remember wondering why everyone just didn't listen to their wisdom. I had trouble following and conforming to the norm, whatever that is/was, but desperately tried to fit in. Now, I celebrate the differences. In my family, there was no knowledge of anything psychic or intuitive. Even though my father was incredibly psychic and knew when things would happen, my mother had recurring dreams of dead relatives, my brother had an imaginary friend, and my sister saw auras- no one ever thought of these experiences as anything incredible. They were mostly treated as problems or disregarded, as most people do. Everyone in my family was extremely intuitively talented. No one knew or spoke of these abilities as talents at all. I did my best to fit in, was popular with friends, but felt everything and had no idea what to do with all those feelings at the time.
How, if in anyway, are your readings different from when you first began to give psychic readings? I remember my first reading. The person had many readings before me. I think I was most afraid of the tape recorder taping the reading. I just said whatever information came into my head and then when the reading was over, I apologized, thinking what I said was what anyone would say. The person told me it was the best reading she ever had. I always remembered that. Now, after so many years of experience and my own growing as a person and psychic, I practice what I teach. My readings have more dimension and depth, I have more respect and confidence and gain more information from the other side, but I still maintain humility, honestly and integrity during a reading. I believe those three things are tantamount. I also feel it is important to get out the way, let the reading stand on its own merit, and check your ego at the door. Not to say I am perfect or ego-less, far from it, but I'm not into New Age jargon or giving information if I am not receiving it.
What inspired you to write your books? For both my books, Develop Your Psychic Abilities (And Get Them to Work for You in Your Life) and The Sixth Sense of Children, as well as my 30 minutes documentary on intuitive children, Children Among Us - I wanted to get the information I knew out to the greatest amount of people. I found, from giving workshops and readings, the information worked for everyone, so I wanted to share it with as many people as possible to make their lives better. It was that simple.
What was the hardest part to write in the books? Being a professional writer, just facing a blank page or screen is always difficult as well as formulating words people understand for concepts people don't usually understand is often magical and frustrating at the same time. I usually laugh when people say they're going to write a book, because everyone is taught to write on some level in school. I say, "Go ahead. Then rewrite it at least ten times, and see if you really want to write the book." It's work, but for me it was a calling to be a writer since I was six years old.
What is the most important message you wish for you books to convey? That everyone has intuitive talents. We come here with them to better our lives and, hopefully, the lives of others. They are natural and can be developed easily with awareness and a little psychic muscle, like most talents.
I see you have videos on youtube.com - Why did you make videos? I write for film as well, so it's a natural place for me to work. I know we're a visual society and again, wanted to get the information out to people in as many formats as possible. I love film and writing for it- I AM a clairvoyant... so it's an easy medium, pardon the pun, for me to use for my work. Not all my films are 'psychically oriented', but some are.
What was your life like before becoming an author? It was always my life, regardless of publishing a book. I do remember when I published Develop Your Psychic Abilities, my first book with a major publisher. I drove home with the first copies, the author's copies sitting in the passenger seat of my car. Remember, I wanted to be a writer all my life. Though I published my poetry and some short stories, this was my first published book! I sat there, glancing over at it, thinking I'd be elated! Now I could answer all those people that continually asked me what I've published, something tangible. I felt nothing. How could that be? It was only in that moment, that I finally realized it wasn't ever about the book that I'd been longing to publish to validate myself. It was the journey, the whole process. It sounds a bit New Agey, but it was really profound for me. I still have the same life after publishing both books a few times, actually better, and the books are another part of it that I'm very proud of creating.
What advice do you have for someone who would like to become a published writer? Writing is an art and takes a lot of hard work as with any creative talent. If you don't feel a fire burning inside you to be a writer and deal with all the rejections of the marketplace, you might re-think your direction. If you still want to write, keep writing. The more you write, the more you'll learn about your craft. Writing is the goal and publishing comes after that.
If you could have dinner with one person, dead or alive, who would it be and why? I always felt I'd like to meet with Nelson Mandela. I got to hear him speak in Yankee Stadium years ago. Maybe because our birth signs are both Cancer, but really because he has vision, integrity, and relied on his wisdom to get him through such difficult times for the greater good. I've also felt a strong draw to South Africa as well, past life.
Anything else you would like people to know? Don’t be afraid of your intuitive talents. They are there to help you in this intellectually focused world, to make you whole, more empathetic, wiser, and to feel excited when they happen. And when people tell me "I don't want you reading my mind," I answer, "I could read your mind if you were continents away, but why would I want to?" Being a psychic, you have to have a sense of humor about, and a great respect for, your talents. Discovering that, they could, and have helped thousands of people over the years is a humbling experience.
