Today, I was working with a new client who took advantage of my free reading offer. “Why do you do this?” she asked, “most people charge.”
I explained how I’m transitioning from my full-time teaching job into my intuitive practice and the free readings serve multiple purposes: they introduce people to my services, allow people who cannot afford a reading to have one, give me more meditation time, and help me to keep my skills sharp.
But the most important “why” is that I feel I’m helping people in the most direct way possible.
The bulk of my professional life was spent in the hospitality industry, specifically, I was a bartender, and then I was a manager. In many ways, I loved what I did …
… okay, okay … people who know me will tell you how I complained viciously about my restaurant work. The service industry is rough. The general public is rough. On more than one occasion, I, like many of my coworkers, found myself sobbing uncontrollably in the kitchen because the stress of service had become too much.
But there is also great pleasure in giving people an enjoyable dining experience. I thrived off other people’s happiness … I’m selfish, I know.
Eventually, I began to feel that providing a pleasurable dining experience wasn’t enough. I wanted to do more. I went back to school, and armed with my shiny new diplomas, I went in search of teaching jobs.
This is how I became a college writing instructor, and I love it!
Writing is an intensely personal endeavor. When students write for me, they share a part of themselves, and I’m touched that they trust me with the things they don’t express to just anyone. Sometimes they come to me for advice; as an instructor, I can do only so much for them, and then I hear my intuition calling to me …
“I’m here! I’m here! Use me!”
Of course, I can’t go spouting psychic communication to my students, so what to do?
Be a professional intuitive! And so here I am. And yes, I love it … I feel useful and productive and I get plenty of meditation time … yeah, there’s that selfish thing again … 😉
Free reading? What?
Yes … it’s true … I’m offering free readings to first-time clients. Interested? Come armed with your question … it generally takes about twenty minutes … you can see what I do and decide if you like the service I offer.
What do you have to lose?
