Chapter 9
Cat Tower
As a professional psychic or clairvoyant for over 18 years, I’ve worked with several distinct types of people:
Ø The blind believer – believes everything to a fault
Ø The true skeptic – does not believe anything & only wants physical proof. Even after proof, they still do not believe.
Ø The emotionally overloaded – client that comes in glazed, barely in their body (dissociated) due to trauma or overload.
Ø The normal – These clients are receptive, yet discerning. They often see your point of view and still go home to digest & integrate.
Ø The angry ones – Some clients are so angry and jaded that they cannot (will not) accept any truth because their anger is so thick that the truth is not allowed inside. They have “trauma bonded” with their anger because it has become an integral part of their identity.
Ø The attention seekers (sometimes narcissists) – they like to talk. Normally that is acceptable – they leave little room for direction and/or next steps. They often feel cheated after the session because they did not get any advice (because they were talking the whole time). Venting is understandable and there must be some give-and-take.
Ø The armchair psychic – these individuals have a sting of envy and will tell you: “I am psychic too, you know? All my friends and family listen to me.” My response is always: “that is great, how is your practice going? Are you able to help a lot of paying clients?” They always answer that they feel guilty taking money or just do it because they like to help. That may be true but sometimes people would rather give because when you charge for a service, you must take yourself seriously.
Did you ever notice that cats feel safer from a higher vantage-point? I feel like everyone feels a little more at ease when they can see the big picture. Cats are right in the middle of the food chain – right between predator and prey. Have you ever felt like you are in the middle? I can imagine that everyone feels like this from time to time based on life’s circumstances.
Sometimes cats remind me of the armchair psychics – a higher vantage point to feel safer without risk. Again, this situation for both cats and humans is born out of a fear to be on ground level - being “all in”.
Ø This cat risks just enough with flight (flight/leap of faith à flight because it seems like the leap is a greater distance due to stress). Their ego/conscious mind talks them out of risks. They risk just enough to be higher than others due to ego and attention.
The “attention seekers” are cats through and through. The attention seekers are on the edge of the narcissists. These “cats” like to be stroked and pursued. Then after the session, they feel a little unfulfilled because they did not “get anything” because they were talking about themselves the whole time with little time for next steps/healing.
Ø These clients tend to be just out of reach where you must keep pursuing and stroking to get through to them. Sometimes, by the time you build rapport, the session is over.
The true skeptic hides under the bed. They will not allow anything inside their box of truth that contradicts their comfort. Sometimes this is appropriate to stand your ground with your truth. Other times, it is simply stubbornness for safety.
Ø These clients hide under the bed until the coast is clear. They do not want to push themselves due to fear or an unwillingness to change.
The emotionally overloaded come into the office glazed – a little bit ungrounded and detached. This looks like a “spaciness” to them. Most of us have met those people – some of us are those people.
Ø This cat is one who just came home from the vet or groomer. This cat is frazzled yet too spacey to run off and hide and/or too tired. They have been through the ringer and feel numb as if nothing else can rattle them because they have seen some crazy things!
The angry ones are people who have been traumatized and they have adopted a sense of anger as a deterrent. They often feel like a strong defense is a good offense.
Ø This cat always hisses, swipes their claws, and even bites. Sometimes it is a smoke screen but who wants to get close enough to try? These cats have pushed most people away already – they feel lonely but refuse to change and/or even admit that they need change and are lonely.
The blind believer is a mix of cat breeds. This is the client who is usually pure of heart, who has listened to others and adopted their mentality. Also, they may allow others (spouse, friends, boss, etc.) to lead because they don’t have the confidence or voice to truly step into their own truth.
Ø This is the cat that trusts everyone and gives up control due to overload or lack of self-esteem. This cat would cross the street without looking because others have always taken care of things for them. They have become codependent.
Lastly, the “normal” – they seem just like you and me. These clients have worked on their baggage organically over time and/or do not exhibit a heaviness about them. Most are enlightened and have a sense of purpose, higher self-esteem, and a solid sense of identity.
Ø This cat is a mix of cat and dog. You may say: “this cat is more friendly than normal.” This is the cat that comes around for attention & petting then moves on to entertain themselves (sleeping, going outside, watching birds, playing with toys, etc.). This cat is cautious enough to have good boundaries but still has a sense of adventure and exploration of themselves and their environment.
Growth and Healing
In closing out this chapter, which cat are you? More importantly, when did you become this cat? Your temperament was born out of survival and environment.
Question: How do we release old wounds that are ingrained for so long?
Answer: Ho’oponopono!
Ho’oponopono is a Hawaiian modality of energy work. The village elder would bring two people together who had issues with one another. They would both be directed to say:
o “I love you”
o “I’m sorry”
o “Please forgive me”
o “Thank you”
Many of my clients and intuition development students say: “I didn’t do anything; they were the ones who _______....” I always reply, “You are apologizing for any role you may have had in the conflict. This could be connected to karma from past lives, your race, your gender, your profession, or any other area that you may not be able to see. This just wipes the slate clean!”
How you treat someone is your Karma; how they treat you is their Karma!
Buddha said:
“Holding grudges is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die.”
So, once again, clean yourself. Spirit always keeps score. Their Karma will have to be cleansed in this lifetime or the next.
Ho’oponopono is quite easy. Since we are all connected, the other person does not need to be present. Your intention, like meditation or a prayer, will carry your words to Spirit for complete healing. Simply say that person’s name aloud then:
o I love you
o I’m sorry
o Please forgive me
o Thank you
Love is the master frequency, that’s why it is first. Second, apologize for any role that you may have played (past, present, & future). Thirdly, double layering the penance. Lastly, gratitude is an exceedingly high frequency emotion. This helps you to seal it with light and it also indicates “it is done”. This technique does take practice. Embrace the neutrality needed to avoid being “the victim” (“but they abused me, I didn’t do anything to them, I gave them everything”, etc.).
Aren’t you tired of carrying around all that baggage?
