I set the intention to only get clients I love and love to work with, miraculously, that was what I got.
When I was a little baby psychic starting out in the crazy world of psychic readings, at first I wanted to help everyone in the entire world. That was casting a very wide net. Just like with fishing, when you cast a wide net, you get a lot of things you don't want. It made those early years very difficult, and I am surprised I stuck with it.
I had to refine my intention.
I changed it to asking Spirit for people who were ready to hear and receive what Spirit offered.
Strangely, that didn't go very well either. I was getting a lot of difficult clients who, although they were ready to hear and receive, still were not quite ready to do the work.
I could've changed it to those who were ready to do the work, but after some soul-searching, I realized that was not really what I wanted. I wanted to work with only those who I really loved to work with. What they did with the messages, how they grew from working with me and Spirit, was not my concern. I let go of how they received what I gave and just enjoyed the moments we worked together.
It has been pretty great.
That was at least a decade ago. I loved helping almost all of my clients and students in the last 10 years, and the few I didn't, miraculously, stopped working with me. I don't need to turn people down or avoid them. They just move on and so do I.
All my clients are a love match of mutual appreciation and respect.
I don't mean to brag, but I love my work. I know wealth or fame commonly measures success; even without those, I am still successful. Loving this work is the purest form of success in my book.
When working with Spirit setting, intention is the key to success. A lot of practitioners forget they are in charge of their lives, livelihoods, and results. Healers open their businesses and wait in empty spaces because they think being of service to Spirit means Spirit should just send people to them. But Spirit is waiting for them to make the choice of the type of clients they want, how often they want to work, and so on.
Think of it like this. Imagine that you hold a grand bow and arrow, and your desired target is in the distance. Your aim is the intention you set. Your goal is your target. You point the arrow and let it loose. Spirit is the air current that guides the arrow. It will take the arrow on the path to the target. Most of the time, you cannot feel the lift of the breeze or the force of the wind, and you do not even consider what happens between letting go and hitting the target. But that is where the work of Spirit lies. We can say it is physics, and that is also true. But when we are working with Spirit, there is an imperceptible force of help if we do only as much as ask for it.
Expecting Spirit's help without setting a goal is like an archer not even drawing the bow, yet still expecting to hit the target.
Set an intention of what you want in life, what you want out of your work, or anything you wish to see changed. Tell Spirit what you want. Focus on that target, then let go of the arrow.
Change and shift intentions as needed to better suit your deepest desires. I like to reevaluate, assess and change my intentions over time, and I recommend it to everyone. Intentions are not forever things, but things that need to shift as we shift.
If you trust Spirit to take the arrow to your target, things are going to get miraculous.
