Even though I’ve had my abilities to see Spirit since I was a child, it took me until I was in my late twenties before I started coming out as a clairvoyant one person at a time.
In this, I was overcoming one of my biggest fears of rejection with each person I knew.
Pretty much everyone I already knew, told me these aspects of me they previously recognized. As it turns out, I hadn’t been doing as good a job keeping myself as a secret as I thought.
Parts of who you are, whether you like it or not, tend to spill out everywhere. There’s no way to avoid it.
The people we love and admire and those who love and respect us, know things about us that we don’t even know ourselves. They can see outside our crystal ball.
When we talk out loud, sometimes we forget even what we are saying as we are saying it, they’re listening to it. When we read books, choose television shows, and point out clothing that we wish to own in the boutique window, they see it.
When we get upset, enraged over injustice, or overly-saddened by a character in a fictional play, novel or show that we relate to, they’re feeling and noticing it.
Those that we love, and those who care for us are external witnesses to our lives. They see what we sometimes don’t see and what we’re afraid to admit to others.
Believe it or not, your friends, family, and even your closest co-workers, probably already have a hunch that they can talk to you about angels.
They may tell you things that happened to them in yoga class last week, or share with you the suspicion they have, that they know you’ll be able to validate if they could manage to walk across the office to tell you.
Most people currently in your circle may already know you have some intuitive ability.
In a way, they can probably sense it.
So, when you come out as an intuitive, a medium or a psychic, know that for many, it’ll be a big elephant in the room walking right out, and a few of those people may even be happy for you.
For this reason, when you tell most people about your abilities, they'll accept instantly.
When I came out as a medium, many people in my life started coming out of the woodwork with their own paranormal, spiritual, or intuitive experiences with support. It was such a huge relief, and I’ve seen this happen with others.
For all of the insta-accepters, others take a little while longer to come to terms with what it means to have intuition and a connection to Spirit.
Everyone in your life may not accept right away.
New people, strangers, or friends of friends may eventually get it, but they may not right away.
The individuals in this group are somewhere between slim and few, but that doesn't mean these individuals aren't open.
These people who need time may also be at current writing essential members of your life. In this group, it could be your partner, your best friend, your mother, or your father. It could be the closest person of all or the person you thought you cared least about.
What do you do about the late adopters?
Remind yourself how long it took for you to accept the newness of understanding who you are in terms of your intuitive path or your spiritual abilities.
Did it take you three months to jump into a realization you might have untapped psychic abilities? Or one year to come to terms with possibly being a medium? Upwards of 10 years?
Did you have an spiritual awakening experience first? Some other eye-opening encounter they’ve yet to meet?
It took me from childhood to 20 years to announce, and thankfully those in our lives are often much quicker to adapt to our fears than we are.
If you give others as much room and time to accept as you gave to yourself, likely, they’ll come around. When they do, there may be a peacemaking opportunity sent your way. Be on the lookout for this.
No matter how small the gesture or the outstretched hand, notice these peacemaking opportunities for what they are - an attempt to communicate and understand. And if you are ready, choose acceptance.
How long does it usually take for the standouts to accept?
In my experience, I’ve found some people can turn from rejection to acceptance in under a minute.
It takes some people up to four or five years.
Others, it can take them up to seven years to fully relate, and they will continue to try to be more relatable to you that entire time.
Others still may wander out of your life.
A small few may not accept the news you share.
And for these few, you may be waiting for a lifetime. So rather than wait, accept and embrace your skills of loving from a distance.
For the ones who walk out, others usually soon wander in, that fill the gap, and make these few a sweet memory. For the most who stay, it'll be a fun journey with the ones who hang on and the new ones you meet along the way.
