Hi Spiritalk,
You as so right when you say that a spiritual reading can go on because its about comfort and the gift we give to others is the way we are able to let them express their grief. As I have found that when a person has a Mediumship reading they release emotions and thoughts they would never have admitted or brought up in counselling or with psychologists. They are raw and very open and vulnerable and this makes me aware I have much responsibility for their wellbeing. So everytime I have a reading when the loved ones come through I have a lot of pressure on myself (imposed by myself) to make sure I get it right and done with the upmost respect of my sitter and their loved ones in spirit.
I used to be an ambulance officer and go to horrific scenes and yes I would become nervous, the adrenalin pumping but I knew what to do and how to control the scene. I know that everytime I read for someone I feel I'm holding their emotions in my hand and thats quite a responsibility to make sure you hold those tenderly and respectfully.
My whole fear of how do I end this reading is due to the fact that I usually dont but on this case I had to leave as I had extended it by 30 - 40 mins and my family were waiting in the car for us to go on our trip for christmas. It tore me to leave when my sitter was like this she had become more composed and I gave her the card of a friend whos a counsellor should she need it. 'Gem' Gave me a wonderful idea in asking her to re-book another reading I will only do two at the most in a year but realised I can offer them a session of reiki or one on one meditations. Which enables me to make sure than in the week after my reading my sitter is coping better or so I know to refer her to someone else more qualified than myself if she needs it.
Thankyou so much in taking the time to reply and help me out
Thanks
