Are You Psychic? It’s Ok To Come Out Of The Psychic Closet!

I understand the stigma of knowing you are psychic but being very nervous to pursue the gift. Let’s discuss the JOYS and concerns of understanding that you might be psychic. My dear friend, Pierre Bensusan, has permitted me to use his track called ‘Sentimentales Pyromaniaques’ from the album 'Altiplanos'.

Hello and welcome to the Spirit Rooms Podcast,

In the Flow with Lori Albert,

Where we talk about spirituality,

Manifestation,

And how to create and live our best lives.

Welcome in.

Good morning.

So much to talk about today as usual.

Today I want to tell you that I hear you.

I completely understand it when you say that you may be feeling things different going on spiritually,

You know,

Whether it's feeling possible spirit stuff like seeing spirits or hearing stuff,

Voices or chairs moving or stuff moving or smelling or tasting.

You know,

You're not sure it's really there,

But you're hearing it and you know you're not crazy.

I have to tell you,

I get it in a way that many other people may not get.

And the reason for that is this.

I remember when I was a kid.

First of all,

I hated going to church.

I was raised Catholic,

Blah,

Blah,

Blah.

But I hated going to church,

You know,

But I loved the spirituality part of it.

You know,

I mean,

As I was sitting there,

I remember feeling that spirits were kind of hanging with me.

Yeah,

You know,

I mean,

It was an odd sense,

But I felt like that maybe other people felt it too.

Now,

I was clairsentient and I didn't realize it at the time,

Obviously,

You know,

But I was not clairvoyant.

So clairsentient is when you're feeling stuff.

Clairsentient is when you're seeing stuff.

Okay.

And I think that was kind of difficult for me,

You know,

Because when you're a kid and you don't know any of this,

You know,

I felt like stuff that,

You know,

Was emotions,

But I never saw anything.

So I didn't know,

You know,

But as I got older,

I started understanding that not everyone felt this way.

Not everyone could feel the person next to them crying on the inside and looking perfectly fine on the out.

Yeah.

So fast forward to when I was developing my gifts,

What I call my gifts,

I now knew that I was different.

And I started realizing that I was an empath and I was super excited that there was a name for it,

Taking on the feelings of others,

You know,

Feeling the energy of the person next to me.

That's called being an empath,

You know,

And honestly,

When you don't understand it,

It can be debilitating because you don't understand why you're feeling it,

You know.

Anyway,

So here's where it got interesting.

I started telling,

Okay,

And this is later on in life,

Started telling friends that I was psychic and I can sense spirits around.

Okay,

This was later,

This was like,

I don't know,

Maybe 20 years ago.

And also,

I could hear voices.

I used to tell people,

I can hear stuff and I can smell stuff.

I had a big Claire aliens thing going on.

So I could smell perfume and all this,

All that kind of stuff,

Right?

So some of my friends were like,

Oh my God,

That is so cool.

Some other,

They would like,

You know,

They were like,

Wait,

What?

Or they just ignored it.

Like I would tell them,

I had a few friends literally just ignore the words I was saying coming out of my mouth.

Yep.

I'm convinced that there is an art to coming out of the psychic closet.

You know,

The people that you think are going to be totally accepting and want to know more.

Those are the ones that are probably going to step away.

You know,

Seriously,

I had a lady and I know I probably told this story before,

But I had a lady literally start stepping backwards.

Like she literally was walking backwards.

And I'll never forget thinking,

Why is she doing that?

Does she think I'm like,

I'm like,

I'm going to put a spell on her or something?

I mean,

Seriously,

What was she thinking?

I would love to have known.

I'll never forget that day is that,

And that became like a really funny story.

You know,

The bottom line is here is that developing your intuitive skills and moving forward in the world of mediumship and psychic,

It elicits crazy reactions or can it can,

You know,

I lost friends and I gained others.

You know,

I lost a best friend.

You have to be ready for anything when you start to tell your story,

You know,

And you have to always know two things.

Okay,

Always keep in mind,

Number one,

That spirit has your back.

That's part of the development of it all.

Spirit has your back.

And then number two,

There are extraordinary things waiting for you.

Extraordinary things.

Yeah,

And it's very exciting,

I think anyway.

So as you begin to acknowledge that you have gifts going on,

And you start learning the foundations of everything that is connected to it,

You realize how blessed you are to be one of the mind who can understand it and bear the responsibility.

And it truly is a responsibility.

It's a beautiful responsibility.

If you use your gifts appropriately and for the highest and greatest good of the world,

There is a richness that will come into your life that will make you feel complete.

And that you are doing what you were supposed to do in your life.

It's amazing.

So I'm saying all of this because this particular week is a very high energy week with so so much happening.

On the eighth,

We had the Lions Gate portal.

And that is when the veil was super thin and we were able to feel spirit coming more easily and closely to us.

And experience spiritual downloads of all the things that spirit wants us to understand,

Whether it was conscious or subconscious.

We may not even realize the downloads that we received.

And then last night we had the full moon,

Which was extraordinary.

And it was a great time to release the fears surrounding our lives and invite in new experiences which can challenge and enliven us truly.

So I want to touch on some of the joys now.

Okay,

Because I don't want to just freak you guys out and then not leave you hanging or whatever,

Right?

But I want to tell you about some of the joys of spirit work.

As you and I begin to develop these amazing abilities,

We will deal with so much of our own,

Let's just say junk,

You know,

Like the fear of all sorts of things,

Fear of what's next,

A fear of the unknown of what is happening.

A fear of what your friends and family will think or say.

There's a lot of fear that comes along with this.

But it's so worth it.

I promise you it is.

So here's my thing,

Though.

When I was ready to come out of the,

Let's just say spiritual closet,

I wanted to tell my husband's family.

Okay,

I knew that my family would think I was weird,

But they have to love me because they're my family,

Right?

So I was really scared of what my husband's family was gonna think,

Right?

But I have to tell you,

Interestingly,

When I told grandma,

My husband's grandma,

She actually got really excited and couldn't wait to talk to me about it.

I ended up giving her readings and stuff until she died at 100 years of age.

It was so I mean,

It was that's one that's another one of my favorite sort of coming out stories,

You know,

The bottom line is,

I'll just say another two things,

Right?

There is a level of confidence that you must develop in this work.

But there is also the fact that you never know how people will respond.

And it's about growing.

The second thing is it's about growing in your own self,

And your own spirituality that will take you to a new level,

An exciting level and something that I promise you is the most fulfilling thing in the world.

Yeah.

I love that.

Okay,

So the main point to this whole topic today is that if you trust in Spirit God universe,

However you feel comfortable referring to it,

You will soar to heights that you've never even imagined.

And you will grow and you will learn so so much because Spirit,

As I said before,

Will not let you down.

Spirit is on your side and has your back.

Yeah,

So okay.

That being said,

Let's sit in meditation for a few minutes and focus our attention on our solar plexus and confidence and surrender.

Beautiful.

Yes.

Okay,

Let's close our eyes.

Take a deep breath in or two as you invite in this amazing energy.

Now let's place our attention on our solar plexus just above our navel.

I want you to imagine a gorgeous yellow ball of sparkling light.

You can place your hand over your solar plexus to add more energy if you choose.

Today let's concentrate on confidence and feeling our personal power.

As we feel this beautiful energy,

Let's consider all the things that we are grateful for.

There are many.

Our families and friends.

All the many experiences that we have had in our lives and all the exciting things that are yet to come.

We thank you,

Spirit,

For giving us the confidence to move forward on our journey and to take on whatever is next for us.

We surrender and release our fear of moving forward and we invite in conviction and confidence.

We surrender and release fear of the unknown and invite in understanding and peace in who we are in this world.

We thank you for allowing us to grow and accept all the amazing things that are out there for us and will give us peace and peace to those around us.

We thank you,

Spirit,

For the power and confidence to boldly go wherever you lead to bring peace and joy and love into the lives of everyone around us.

Namaste.

Reviews

This was a great talk. I know I am an empath and like you Lauri have received some strange reactions when talking about it.
My recent Happening was I had a feeling of foreboding, so bad I felt physically nauseous,
I also got flashes of people crying, really upset.
A few days later Queen Elizabeth ll passed away and the feeling lifted.
Maybe this was what the feeling of foreboding was.🤷‍♀️
Thank you as always Lauri. I Love listening to your talks and dropping into your live events too. 🙏

Lauri
Not only shares and gives of herself.
She helps you understand spirit and cultivate your own energies.
So inspiring
