Why am I scared??

I know I have "a gift" shall we say. I know that healing is my main area, but that I am also capable of some sort of mediumship, yet I shut it out and say I'm not ready for it yet.

After the pendulum thread yesterday I chanced across a jewellery box and found a pentacle I thought was lost, I then lifted a top to find my tarot cards underneath... deciding that someone was trying to tell me something, I sat down armed with my tarot cards (that I have used 3 times in 5 years ), and my little book tellin me what it all means, and asked my question. It was all scarily accurate - when I have seen friends doing them there is always one or two cards that seems sort of out of place, like it wasn't the right one, but everything was right.

Sooo... I put the cards far away and hid from them

Am I really not ready to face it, or am I just very lacking in confidence (which incidentally was the outcome of my other question - and they told me that everyone else can see my lack of confidence too )???

I feel like I am at some sort of turning point, just not too sure which direction.

I don't really know what replies I'm expecting - I think this is probably just one of those write it out to make some sense of it all type posts.

Flame I have been practising reiki for years and also have some other sort of abilities which i never discuss on here.I have in the last 2 weeks been having very clear signs pointing me in a certain direction.I have even discussed this with dp!Can I just ask you how much do you follow instinct?I am a bit like you I feel I either have to really go for this and do what I am being shown but am scared.

My heart tells me to follow instinct, my brain tells me not to be so bloody stupid

I also know that the advice I would give to you though would be to follow your heart!!!

Methinks I am answering my own questions again....

Hi Flame,

I believe that doors are opened for us, but it is up to us whether we go through them or not.

My own situation is that I feel I have a gift with Tarot, but 'sensible me' steps in prefers the future to arrive in its own good time. I'm aware of my ability, but I don't yet feel confident enough to read for anyone other than myself.

I think you'll know when the time is right to take things further.

(BTW my DW is a regular mumsnet poster, but this is my first time here!)

If it's any help ... I have just done my reiki level 1 and my master suggested going with the heart rather than the head !!!

The heart is our intuition / guidance ... whatever you want to call it ...

The head is the rational ... yeah - but - no - but .... which more often than not needs proof and rules.

In all fairness - what have you got to lose ? What's the worst that can happen - if you follow your heart ???

I like the name Radioshed

Reiki is the plan for when we have enough funds... I'm on a big money saving/budgetting thing at the moment, and I think if I can work out where our money gets frittered to every bloody month, then it should be doable.

You're all right of course - I should listen to my heart - my mind is jaded and believes what it reads too much! It always comes back to when I first read about wicca and pagans, and I was sat there nodding thinking - but this is what I have always believed - its logic! I had been following a path for years in my heart, just my brain didn't have a name for it.
