Why Learning to Connect Isn't Enough for Psychics

Why do most psychic development programs only teach you how to connect but leave you without confidence? What's the difference between knowing the technique and actually being able to use your abilities with complete trust?

In this episode, Crystal reveals what every psychic training program leaves out and why connecting is actually the easiest part.

You'll discover why your technique isn't the problem, what actually creates doubt in your abilities, and the missing pieces that bridge the gap between knowing how to connect and trusting yourself completely.

If you've learned how to connect but still don't feel grounded in your abilities, this is what's been missing.

Questions Answered in This Episode:

• Why doesn't learning the technique create confidence in your connection?
• What actually creates doubt in your abilities (hint: it's not your connection)?
• Why do you need validation from clients to trust what you're receiving?
• What's the difference between knowing how to connect and being grounded in it?
• What do you actually need to learn beyond "how to connect"?

 This is the second of five episodes breaking down The Conscious Psychic™ Certification Program. You'll discover why your technique isn't what's blocking you, what actually creates confidence beyond just knowing how to connect, and why this approach creates practitioners who trust their abilities with 100% faith instead of just adding another certificate to the pile.

Welcome back to the podcast. are on day two or episode two of the five episode series that I am sharing with you the different elements and pieces of the conscious psychic certification program and why it is absolutely industry changing. It is nothing like there's ever been in psychic development before and why I am so excited to finally be bringing this to the world. And today we're talking about all the curriculum, or we're talking about all about the curriculum, if you will. Now, I'm not gonna lie and say that this is gonna be a program where you're gonna walk in and you're gonna digest a few pieces of information and then you're gonna leave. This curriculum is rigorous. And I don't want that to scare you away at the beginning, but I do want to stress that because this is not for... the people that are just looking for the quick wins. We have enough of those in the industry and I'm tired of it. I'm tired of the people that just want to dabble or do what they can to go out on the internet and look really cool, but they're not actually committed. They're not actually devoted. They're not actually in an integral relationship. with their connection, with the work they do. They care more about what's in it for them than what's in it for the people that they're helping or harming or hindering. And let me be very frank, that's not about getting paid. You absolutely should be paid for the services that you provide. So it's not about that. It's about them just being from that very ego state. very all about me and look what I can do versus actually being devoted to the work. There's a whole difference in terms of, we just have enough of that. We have enough of that in the world. I'm so passionate about this if you can't tell. And this is not a program for those kind of people. So I guess if you are one of those kind of people, then you know, this is it for you and you know, and you could just stop listening. But if you're someone that's like, I take this seriously. I take my connection seriously. I take the way that I show up in the world seriously. I take the work that I do and the messages that I bring through and the information that I provide other people. take that seriously. That's sacred to me. I hold that sacred. It's an honor to be able to do this work. then you are in the right place. You are in the right place. So when I talk about the curriculum being rigorous, it just means that this is not a quick little two week program. This isn't a four week curriculum. This is 20 weeks of devotion. Now in the curriculum itself, I'll break this down here in a little bit, but it's pretty much, I guess I'll just break it down now. The curriculum itself, there's actually, uh 16 weeks of course curriculum, meaning every fourth week inside of the program is what I call an integration week. This is an opportunity for you to just really soak in everything that you have been learning and applying that month. So you'll have three weeks worth of weekly curriculum, and then you'll have a week where there's no curriculum. Now, if you listen to the podcast episode before this, all about the confidence formula, you heard that there's 20 different challenges inside the confidence formula. That's because every single week for the duration of the certification, if you were to take it from start to finish and go five months straight, you would have 20 weeks worth of challenges. But every fourth week is a break from the curriculum itself so that you can still apply the challenge work. inside the confidence formula, but the curriculum, you have an opportunity to really just sit with it, to really be with the information that you've taken in, the application of the things that you've learned, to have an opportunity to examine and reflect. And in the event that life stuff happens and life is life-ing, it also gives you a window to kind of catch up as well. But it was really important for me that the people coming in to receive their certification, they're not here to just add another piece of paper to their pile, that they are here to apply themselves, to not be from a place of impatience and like, let me just gobble up all the information and then just like, go run with it, but to really truly have it integrated. to embody it, to not just be another performative person out here in the world. So that is my soapbox. I'm stepping down off of it now. But that's what I mean by rigorous is that this is a good chunk of knowledge, of training, of philosophy. It's just so incredibly solid. And the thing that makes the curriculum different for the Conscious Psychic Certification Program than anything that's ever been in the industry before is that this is not just about your connection. And hear me when I say this, because I'm going to say this a lot and it's because it matters. Your connection is the easiest part. Anyone can connect. Everyone can connect. Every single person on the face of the planet has access to their connection. Connecting is not the work. everything else that actually creates the ability for you to feel confident in 100 % faith and trust in your connection, grounded and anchored by it, being able to bring through information clearly and easily and accurately. That's what this program teaches you that no other program does. And we're going to dive into that today. I'm going to share with you why that is happening, why that is important, why it makes all of the difference for you. And if you're someone who has been, I mean, I've had clients that they've come to work with me and they're brand new, brand new to psychic development. They're like, I don't even know if I can connect. I've had clients that have been in the spiritual industry doing spiritual work in whatever fashion, whether that is energy work, whether that is, you know, mediumship, whether that's... uh Tarot and Oracle whether like it doesn't matter right even psychic work I've had clients that have been in the industry for over a decade and everywhere in between and if you are someone who struggles to Know the difference between when it's your brain or when it's your connection to trust that what's coming through is What's actually real to? uh be able to feel confident in your connection, to feel confident that you don't need to worry and be tied up around what your clients think or whether it was good enough for them, to be able to create a very well-rounded experience for them without ever having to interpret a single message, to just be able to access the information through your channel and just relay that information to them and they get it. And you don't have to do any of the work. to try to decipher that for them, this is the program that changes all of that for you. Because what I've seen is that the psychic development teaching out in the world focuses on your connection, but it's missing the other two core components that without them, everything falls apart. You're standing on shaky ground. You don't actually have a solid, grounded, anchored foundation. And the other two parts, that the Contrapsychic Certification Program covers is you and your clients. Because here's the thing, your connection is just one tiny piece of the puzzle. It's the smallest piece of the puzzle, actually. And while I am going to teach you very specific techniques and skills and advanced techniques and skills that are actually, even though we use the term advanced, they are more simple and practical to apply than you could ever imagine. which I love, I'm obsessed with. I'm gonna teach you those things inside the program, but we're also gonna focus on you. Because if you can't understand the difference between your brain and a message coming through, between when something's coming in for someone else or it's coming in for you, if you can't tell the difference between the subtle energy frequencies that you hold within yourself and how those... subtly change and slightly vary based on what you're experiencing in your own life and how you're feeling and what you're going through in the blocks and limiting beliefs that you have and all of those things. If you can't tell the difference between that and someone else, if you can't tell your patterns as a human, like if you have... If you don't have, I guess if you're lacking this deep understanding and awareness of your own unique patterns as a human being separate from anyone else, all of those things impact your connection. Your connection will falter. Your trust and faith in your connection won't be there. Like sometimes you'll be like, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I can totally believe in that. And meanwhile, your mind in the background is running like, am I sure? Can I trust that? Am I sure this is right? What if I got it wrong? What if I don't get this exactly right? What if it's this instead of that? Like that's gonna be the thing going on in the background. The same thing is if you are constantly or even subtly, right? Because this can happen very quietly in the background of someone's mind and they aren't aware of it until it's brought to their awareness, until it's something that they're more actively. m focused on going, oh, oh, is that me? Oh, okay, I've seen that show up. If you're always thinking about what your clients think, whether they are resonating with the message, whether they can validate for you if something's accurate or not, whether they are trusting what you're saying, whether they are impacted, whether positively or negatively, what their expectations are. what, if you're stuck in all of that, that also is going to affect your connection. Your connection's gonna falter. And in the same sense, if your connection isn't strong, isn't clear, isn't in a way that allows you as a human to get 100 % entirely out of every situation where you are utilizing your connection to bring through information, whether for yourself or someone else, If your connection isn't there, then that also impacts you and your mind and your thought patterns and your energy. And it also impacts your clients and their experience with you. Even if they can't put their finger on it, they can feel it. So it all ties in together. And the whole goal of the Conscious Psychic Certification Program is that when you finish, and you go through the five months of curriculum, of the confidence formula, of the practice assignments, of the evaluation sessions, which we'll talk about those in another episode, because I am like, oh my God, so obsessed, so obsessed with my psychic evaluation method. And what you're gonna get out of that, it is insane. It's literally like, it's direct, like it's one-on-one access with me. that you get inside this program, but we'll talk about that later. I can't deviate or I'll just go off on a side tangent on that. But the whole goal is when you go through this whole program, you can go out into the world feeling 100 % confident in your gifts, grounded and anchored in your connection and knowing what you need to do. when something comes up that shakes that confidence, how to solve for it, you're get all of that inside this program. Because the thing is, is that you're gonna be able to feel 100 % confident and trusting in your connection and your ability to bring through messages easily and clearly and accurately and being able to just be a clear channel, not needing to depend on other. tools or resources or validation from other people. Like you're going to learn how to do all of those things inside of this program. And that's not to knock. If you want to continue to use tools, that's totally fine. But you're going to have the confidence that you don't need them. You can just use them if you so desire. But you're going to be able to go out and do that and feel totally grounded and anchored and confident and trusting. in your connection and you're gonna continue to grow and develop and there's gonna be new things that come up, right? New blocks that come in, new uh beliefs that show up for you that are kind of like limiting how you can continue to show up confidently in that. And this program is something you can come back to again and again and apply the same things. It is going to show you in a quick, like this is what's it. This is what my problem is and this is how I solve for it. Oh, I love it so freaking much. In fact, one of the pieces inside the curriculum, there is a psychic connection reflections journal. I made this, it's a physical book that you can get when you come into the program. And this is going to track your journey. This is going to bring in the tie. oh that really allows you to see your patterns, how your brain is coming in and getting in the middle of a message, how your energy slightly varies, how the subtle frequencies differ, how your energy feels versus the energy of someone else's. there's just, oh, it's so freaking good. And it's also gonna tie in your connection. And like, what is it that is coming in and how can you see you're gonna have an actual physical trail of this is what's occurring for me. And this is what makes it so powerful is because you go into programs and they're like, I'm gonna teach you my A to Z on how to do this thing. And this is how you do it. And you do it and you're like, okay, but that's not exactly working for me. Why is it not working for me, but it's working for you or it's working for this other person? This is what changes that because this program has not been designed to be a cookie cutter. This is what's going to solve for you and every other person, all the eight billion people out in the world. It teaches you how to see what it is that's going on for you and then how to solve for that. which is monumental, monumental. Because while we might all share the kind of like same root causes or root beliefs or blocks or things of that nature, like the root struggles, how it shows up for each of us is different. And if you don't have awareness as to how it's showing up for you, and I just told you, well, this is how it showed up for me. And you're like, but I don't see that in myself. I don't see that. Like I don't understand how that relates to me. Guess what? I've just missed the mark for you. I've just missed the opportunity to help you bridge the gap. And that was so important. That was one of the things that honestly kept me from bringing this to life for as long as I did, because I got the download that I was going to create this program several years ago. And it's just now. coming into the world. And one of the biggest reasons why it took me so long to be willing to do that is because I was like, every person's experience is different. Every single person has a unique experience in life. You grew up with your own shit, right? Like you grew up with your own stuff that you're facing and you grew up with your own set of, you know, What caretakers, you grew up with your own set of social circumstances. You grew up with your own network. Like you grew up with your own set of experiences. You faced your own experiences as an adult. Like you have a different life than anyone else in the world. I have a different life and experiences than anyone else in the world. A lot of our things might overlap or they might be similar. Right? We might have a lot of things in common, but ultimately you did not have the same exact experiences that I did. And so I was like, my work one-on-one is so powerful because I'm able to help each individual person see what their own shit is, see what's actually standing in the way for them and their connection. And it wasn't until uh I was able to see, this is how I can teach them to see that for themselves, to recognize that. And I incorporated that into this program and that, it just makes all the difference, all the difference. So the curriculum is about solving for all three spaces, you, your connection, and the things that you're gonna face when it comes to your clients, the things that you internally, you unconsciously, you subconsciously, you just emotionally, mentally, like all the things that are gonna get in the way of your trust and connection, in your connection. And of course your connection. don't I think I said that, but you know what I mean. It's about bridging the gaps, busting any of the myths, the blocks, the limiting beliefs that you have been experiencing that you have come across. Because one of the things that I saw very early on in my own journey was that I hear a lot of the teaching and the philosophies and the you can do this, but you can't do that. this is what's possible with your connection, but you can't do that. And I was like, fuck all that. Maybe it is something that you can't do. m I who do I? I don't know, but let's go find out. And so I was challenged very early on in my connection, like, we're going to go solve these problems. We're going to go set a precedence for this. This was on the mediumship side of things, but Again, if you listen to the previous episode on the confidence formula, I kind of talked about this for a brief second that everything stems from the same place. So it doesn't matter what kind of work you're doing. It's all through your channel. OK. But I want to share this story with you because I think it's important here. When I was early on in my awareness of my connection. I was hearing a lot of things around mediumship. And one of the things, one of the rules, and I'm using air quotes, one of the rules around mediumship is that you can't guarantee that you're going to connect with someone. So a client books a session with you and they're really wanting to hear from, I don't know, maymawjama. They're wanting a message from a very specific person. And the rule of thumb was that you can't guarantee that you're going to bring someone through because you don't know whether that person's going to actually show up in the session or not for the client. And I was like, that's very interesting. That feels like a red flag to me, but I could be wrong. I mean, I don't know. Let's see if I can either prove it right or wrong. And so I started doing these Instagram lives. It was Really early on I was so nervous. I'd never done public readings like that before I started going on Instagram live and there were all these strangers that were showing up that I'd never I don't even know to this day I'm like, how did they even know that I was live at like they weren't even following me. Um and I Would go live and do readings and people would come on and they would want to connect with whatever, loved one that had passed on. And here I am doing these live readings and this is a very short amount of time that you've got with each person. So these people are coming on and this is not like I've got a 30 minute session with this person or an hour that I can spend, you know, sitting down and seeing who comes through and what they have to say and giving evidence of, you know. Let's see if we can place this person and then bringing a message to it, all that. I'm like, I've got two to five minutes tops with each person on these lives. We just gotta get to it. We don't have time to fuck around and find out, okay? So I was guided to do this. just like I'd received the how. essentially through my connection. And so I was like, okay, you want to connect with so and so tell me their first name. Just tell me the first name. I don't need to know who they are what they were to you. Tell me their first name. And through my intention, I'm going to connect with them. And the person would come in through the connection and then I would start to validate, you know, give them the evidence of like, oh, this feels like It's this person, like maybe it's like, this feels like an aunt on your dad's side. This is kind of like describing what they are. And it would place the person every single time. The only time that it didn't work. And I'm using air quotes with that. And you'll hear why is there was a gal that had come on and again, a total stranger. I'd never read for like, I don't even think she was following me before this point. And she'd come on. And she wanted to connect with someone who'd passed on. And I said, OK, just give me the first name so I can just go straight to them. And and see, this is the thing. Most people are like, well, I need to try to get the name. Listen, you got two to five minutes with this person, and I'm trying to bust a myth here in the industry that says that, oh, you can't guarantee that you're going to be able to connect with someone like let's just go for it, right? Let's just get that person on the phone. And so I said, just give me their first name. So she gave me their first name. And I start bringing this person through and I started explaining and she goes, that actually sounds like, I don't know, I don't remember if it was like an uncle or a cousin or something like that. And I said, okay, did they have the same name? And she said, yes, they had the same first name and the same last name. And I was like, was their middle name different? She goes, I said, okay, give me the first and middle name. And then it was like that person was like, oh, okay, like we'll just, we'll let this other. this other one come come through and the message came through. But it really helped early on to have all of these kind of like industry rules and what I now refer to them as myths. That just create more blocks and limiting beliefs for people in the industry. For me to go out there and actively go, OK, let's see if we can disprove this and if we can't. Great, by all means. Okay, no big deal, right? But at least I know so that I'm not building up all of these blocks and limiting beliefs. And so one of the things that the curriculum is gonna do is to help bust those myths for you, to bridge the gaps between where you're at with your connection and where you need to be in order to feel that confidence, that trust, that faith, that groundedness, to be able to just be a clear channel that just receives clearly, easily, accurately. to create an actual foundation that you can rely on and come back to again and again and again for proof that your connection is real, that it's valid, that it's accurate, and that you can trust it. And one of the things that I love so much about how I have structured this program is that it's not a one and done in terms of like, I mean, you can totally go through it once and have everything that you need to just move forward and keep on just being brilliant out in the world, utilizing your gifts, but it's something that you have access to for the life of the program. Like as long as it exists, you can come back again and again. You can revisit, you can reaffirm for yourself. Like you can reapply what you've learned, whatever, so that you always know for yourself, you don't have to go out into the world to prove your validity, you can always come back to the truth of who you are. to the groundedness that you will establish throughout this program, the wholehearted belief and trust and faith in your connection. for yourself, for other people. It's so, so incredibly valuable. And this is going to change the industry. We've got to stop just focusing on the technique and we've got to start actually teaching people all of the things that they need to succeed. Because if you know how to do something, but you can't do it well, or you know how to do something, but you don't feel confident doing it, then what the hell is it all for? It doesn't help you. It only creates further doubt and disbelief in your connection. And it doesn't help the clients that are here to work with you. And this curriculum solves for that. And I'm so excited about it. So excited. Clearly, I cannot hold it in. I cannot contain it. You can learn all about the Conscious Psychic Certification Program down below. Come in, start learning the things that will actually take you from where you are to where you wanna be. Stop wasting your time trying to improve your technique. You think that you have to improve your connection to trust in it, but you actually have to learn your brain patterns to trust your connection. You think that you have to receive validation from your clients. or in practice sessions, or when you're using your gifts to trust your connection, when in reality, you have to develop your own belief system in your connection, which comes through recognizing your patterns, recognizing how you're showing up, recognizing how you think about other people thinking about you, recognizing the difference in your energy. There's just so many pieces that you've been missing and they're all here and they're ready and waiting for you. So come on. in.
