The Evolving Landscape of Psychic and Holistic Fairs
Having participated in psychic and holistic fairs for three decades, I've observed a significant shift since 2020: a notable increase in the number of self-proclaimed healers and readers. While it's wonderful that more people feel drawn to help others, this influx has unfortunately brought a rise in practitioners who lack proper training, certification, and humility.
One concerning trend is the emergence of individuals offering regression work without adequate training in hypnosis. This is particularly alarming because, without proper certification, they may not understand the potential dangers, such as a client experiencing a psychotic break. Similarly, many self-proclaimed mediums and healers claim direct channels to angels or other beings but lack clarity about the true source of their gifts.
True spiritual work demands that practitioners set aside their ego and not prioritize financial gain. While money is an energetic exchange that naturally flows when genuine service is provided, making it the primary focus can detract from the integrity and effectiveness of the work.
I've been fortunate to study with teachers from Lily Dale, New York, and am currently pursuing a 16-month certification with my teacher, Gloria Weichand, who serves on the Lily Dale board. Through this rigorous training, I'm absolutely clear about my guides and the spiritual beings I work with in my mediumship and reading practice. It's my firm belief that if you claim to be a healer, you should know precisely who or what you are working with, rather than simply guessing.
