I've emerged from hiatus to share an episode I've been thinking about for years now.

It's probably still the most misunderstood and derided form of Psychic Work, so I want to share what the experience is like, dismiss some myths and misconceptions and share the (possibly unexpected) pros of doing this kind of work.
I hope you enjoy!
