Spiritual, Intuitive, Psychic, Medium, Tarot & Divination Terms and Definitions

Monday, January 30th, 2006

First, I would like to get some definitions out of the way so seekers can understand how I approach readings

Intuitive
“Intuition is a combination of historical (empirical) data, deep and heightened observation and an ability to cut through the thickness of surface reality. Intuition is like a slow motion machine that captures data instantaneously and hits you like a ton of bricks. Intuition is a knowing, a sensing that is beyond the conscious understanding — a gut feeling. Intuition is not pseudo-science.” Abella Arthur

An intuitive is someone who has mastered the art of listening and memory recall in an instant, to the point that they are often not cognizant of where the information is coming from

Psychic
There are many different types of psychics with Clairvoyant being the most “popular” term. However, there are strong feelers, healers, thinkers, tasters, etc.. Basically a psychic uses the 5 senses in otherworldly ways — this is often called: The Sixth Sense. Ways that are not currently catalogued and acknowledged in the scientific world.

Spiritual
Being spiritual is a state of being rather than necessarily following dogmatic rules, as in religion. Spirituality is less strutured in its determination; however, if you want to be structured spiritually you can. It’s about connecting to source or whatever you wish to call anything beyond oneself, in a way that’s personally meaningful.

Tarot
The Tarot is an allegory of life. It’s a set cards (traditionally 78 — 22 major and 56 minor) of symbols, pictures, and text which bring synchronistic meaning to the seeker, also known as the querant (questioner)

Divination
There are literally hundreds of ways to divine. Divining is a unscientific (can not be duplicated under scientific controls and measures) form of providing information about the past, present, and/or future.

Some examples of divinatory techniques are: Tarot, astrology, tasseography (tea leaf reading), and bibliomancy (random selection of passages from a book), and more… (obscure techniques)

Medium
A medium is someone who receives information from beyond. Whether that be from those that have passed over, spirit and spirit guide(s), angels, God, or otherworld beings.

Chaneler
A chaneler is someone who makes contact with the beings that mediums do but allow the beings to use their body, voice, etc.. to communicate in this earthly realm.

Telepath
Telepaths can read minds but not in the way people think. 🙂 I’m a telepath and make energetic connections with people but I don’t read all their thoughts; I just read what I need to know. Example. I’m reading cards and I want to hone in on specific information, I can “pick up” what the person wants to know so that I can offer better information from what I see in the cards. Telepathy only works if the sender and receiver choose to connect. If the other person chooses to scramble their thoughts, they then become unreadable to me in the telepathic realm.

Abella’s Three C’s of Readers’ Communication Styles

Counselor — one who listens and provides analysis about what’s being discussed.
Coach — one who asks a lot of questions, helps you achieve goals, and keeps you running at top order.
Consultant — one who offers advice based on wisdom, education, and/or experience.

Spiritual, Intuitive, Psychic, Tarot, & Divination Readings by Abella Arthur

Monday, January 30th, 2006

What makes my readings so special and different from the norm?

Well, I use a number of modalities and techniques to help seekers.

I use the 3 C’s of communication: Consult, Coach, and Counsel. I also use a number of divinatory technques which include: Tarot, numerology, and astrology with intermediate to advanced applications. In addition to that, with personality testing I can help people find the most suitable work and communication methods.

My psychic abilities include (in order of current strength): claisentience, claircognizance, telepathy, clairaugustance, clairvoyance, and clairaudience. With the use of Tarot and my psychic abilities I can also pass on messages from those that have passed over. Essentially I’m a medium; however, I use methods that are less “scary” to my person, if you will, to communicate.

My mother and sister are psychic too and I grew up in a psychic and mystical world. My heritage is also quite mystical. I have been formally learning Tarot and astrology since 1996 and added numerology in 2000. I’m constantly evolving and studying.

I’m here, doing what I love to do, to help you express and communicate positive, productive, and meaningful words and actions towards yourself and the people and issues you care about. I do this by being positive, enthusiastic, and authentic so that I might inspire and motivate you.

This is my life path, mission, and destiny in life. This, reading for others, is what I am meant to do at this current time. But I’m meant to do it in unique and innovative ways.

For example: I rarely use traditional card layouts; I shuffle the cards, I ask seekers to draw up a list of questions so we can hone in and focus on specifics rather than a whole bunch of general things; for serious seekers and serious issues, I offer long term sessions which are goal oriented; I incorporate methods of consulting, counseling, and coaching and focus on the seeker ultimately manifesting their own goals and dreams; I don’t usually like referrals, and I’m coming from a business and career advising background; however, I also specialize in relationships and communications.

That’s just a snippet of what I do differently. So the most important thing for the seeker to understand when choosing a reading with me is this: yes, I do gain information that is beyond myself and I read differently than others so being openminded is a preresequite to receiving a meaningful reading.

My values are: authenticity, knowledge, integrity, originality, quality, professionalism, passion, productivity, efficiency, and being people-focused.

Forms of Communication & Reading Opportunities

I read for people all over the world. Through the Internet, phone, and in-person. In-person is the most preferred method; however, distance, time, and money have a lot to do with whether that happens or not.

Whether it’s one question or several questions, specifically themed questions, or a longer term in-person sessions you seek, there’s a reading option for you.

There are two types of sessions offered:

Each reading session is 60 minutes in length and can be extended to 90 minutes (in-person only).

Short term
(annual, bi-annual, one-off questions)
This reading type is to be used for entertainment, overview (i.e. a character or time-period reading), or choice/decision type questions.

Long term (2-5 sessions surrounding a specific issue or concern)
This is for seekers who are repeating unproductive patterns, struggling to manifest abundance and daily good in their lives, dealing with serious issues, or not sure what direction/path to take.

For email, questions receive a response of between 150 and 300 words per question.
Phone readings are available in increments of 15 minutes to a maximum booking of 1 hour.

Reading Areas

Warning I’m not a miracle worker or licensed, and seekers do need to be actively a part of the process.
“Understand the past, Realize the present, and Manifest the future.” Abella Arthur

Career, Work, & Business
Discovery the most suitable career for you. Resolve workplace issues and concerns. Solve business and career problems. Gain insight and information for help making decisions. Find options and choices you may not of thought of before. Discuss issues with co-workers, bosses, clients, and your company to create a more harmonious and balanced workspace.

To note, I have taken courses in Career and Work Counselling, small business management, I was a People Manager, Trainer in a corporate Environment, and I’m a life/business coach.

Self-employment: Explore what you are good at, what you know, what is hard for you to do, what you want to do, what you should be doing, and why you are doing it! Gain insights in marketing, selling, and visioning the future.

Love & Relationships
Find new love and true love, whether that be with your present, past, and/or future partner. I can not work miracles but I can see what’s going on around the issue and give solid insights and advice without moralizing.

Discuss the joys and heartaches of dating. We will look at the past, present, and future to help you find the “one”. Whether that has to do with creating a great ad that attracts your ideal partner, figuring out who your ideal partner is, finding out why your dating efforts are not working out, and much more — you will receive insights, guidance, and creative solutions.

Learn about friends and family. In-laws, parents, children, spouse, and other loved ones. The dynamics of relationships can be overwhelming sometimes and I’m here to help navigate difficult issues and help you find clarity, focus, and/or direction.

Finances and Wealth
Ask questions about: Where can I find money? How do I attract money? What does the financial future look like? What will happen if I do x,y, or z?

Health & Well-being

With the assistance of Tarot, psychic ability, and specialized health spreads I can help you with your health and well-being.

Warning:

Please know that I’m not a medical professional, I did not study science or medicine (alternative or traditional), and I’m not licenced to give advice or treatment for medical conditions though I will often offer suggestions for you to review and decide on your own.

With that said, I can tell you what I saw in the past, what I see in the present, and some thoughts to consider about what may happen in the future and how to improve or stabilize your health and well-being.

I DO NOT predict death or major illness. I give thoughts to think about in relationship to your health and well-being.

If anything I say worries you, check with your doctor. Your doctor can and will know more than this reading! Listen to them first and foremost before a reading.

Brainstorming
Wouldn’t it be nice if you could throw out some ideas and see what would happen before you actually “made any decisions”? How about coming up with some ideas for a new way of approaching something? I can help!

Life path & Destiny
Find out where your true path is and how to manifest and bring it to life!
