I’ve been working in this field for a few years now establishing myself and what I do. My main clientèle has been friends or friends of friends that are walking a similar path with similar goals: they desire to know about their soul, they are interested in their evolutionary and ascension processes, they want to learn about themselves and the world around them.
Last year I decided to take my business to a new level in a couple of different ways.
First I decided to get a job as an online psychic. I thought it would be great because it would allow me to establish an online and location independent source of income which furthers my life goals and gives me practice doing what I love. I had an image of giving powerful card readings to people who wanted to receive the information.
Second I went around to local businesses and gave them proposals to see if I could offer readings in partnership with one of the businesses. I figured that this would establish a local clientèle faster and would get my name out there as a reader.
There was one thing I was not expecting to learn: the difference between a card reader and an oracle.
I received what I wanted, both an online job as a psychic and work in a local cafe.
Neither were what I was expecting. The local cafe was a low paying gig with a possibility that if I were there long enough I would gradually gain clientelle. It was a positive experience overall, I just know that now I would not lower my prices again by as much as I did even to gain clientelle. I wasn’t receiving my favorite clients, the ones that let me go deep into my own soul for answers.
The online psychic job really was what made me understand who my clientelle really is. Online I was being asked what I consider fluff questions: When is the girl I like going to text me? My husband is coming over; we are separated, do you think it will go well? Tell me the name of my next lover. And so on. These are just a few examples of questions that were asked.
I hated it. I wanted to go deeper. I wanted to go into the soul of things. These clients would pay the shortest amount of time they could to get the answer they wanted and then off they would go. I wasn’t allowed to go into depth with these clients which gave my interactions a surface level of feeling.
I’m not saying that to worry about love in your life is a bad or negative. I’m saying that when it is your obsession it is not healthy, and when I tuned into these clients it is an obsession with love because there is nothing else to focus the mind on. There are more important things to worry about than about your love life. What about the life of your soul?
And then one day I realized that was the difference between a reader and and oracle.
A reader is good at giving you the more superficial stuff. They are happy to tell you who your next lover is going to be, where you will next, and all of that jazz. In fact, that is more of the focus of the reading because that’s what most people want to know. Readers can go deep into your personality and into what is going on in the past and future. In my experience they often do.
All of this is extremely useful. It helps a lot of people and is not a bad thing. It is just different from what I do.
Oracles may touch on all of those things but they are far from the focus of the reading. A reading with an oracles is something that goes deep, goes all the way to the depths of the soul, takes you on a journey. It is honest.
And the honest truth is that sometimes we can’t tell you what the future is going to be because of all the probabilities. Sometimes we are going to tell you tough things you don’t want to to hear. An oracle focuses on where you are in this present moment and what will serve you best to know.
Oracles will help you listen to what your soul is craving to tell you and what to do with that information at times. An oracle will give you guidance on what steps to take to create the life you want to live and opens up to allow Spirit to come speak through them.
I realized that is what I do.
I don’t want an online psychic job any more.
Nor do I want to work at a cafe or restaurant.
I want to find clients who make me excited to go to work and do a reading because I know I’m going to use my gifts fully.
I want to develop long-term relationships with people who are on a spiritual journey and path, people who are willing to go deep.
I want to find clients who challenge me to expand, to be a better reader and who ask me hard questions.
