Question:
Dear Jana, I have a question I'm hoping you can help me with. Several months ago I got a psychic reading from someone in my hometown. At the time of the reading, I thought this woman was very good. She seemed to hit on a lot of things that applied to my life. She also told me things about some of my family members that really resonated with where they were at in their lives. I left there feeling very good about the things she told me. I felt upbeat and positive about some of the events she saw taking place in the future.
However, about three months after my reading with her, my pipes burst in my house, causing my place to flood. I needed to move out of my residence due to the amount of damage that had been done by the water. I was very upset that the psychic didn't predict this in my reading, as it created a lot of inconvenience in my life. It seems that I might have been able to avoid it if I had been told this in my reading.
I now have mixed emotions about my reading. If she didn't see this, what other things didn't she see coming my way? Your insight would be very helpful.

Medium Jana Hollingsworth responds:
Dear Confused,
I'm so sorry to hear about your home flooding! I'm sure this has been a very difficult and stressful time for you!
I understand why you might be confused about not getting a "heads up" on the pipes bursting. However, let's take another look at this. First of all, you left your reading feeling good about it. The psychic seemed to pick up on a lot of information about you and your family that was helpful to you. As with any advisor or counselor, I think you need to take the helpful information you received and apply what makes sense to your life. Ultimately, it was a good experience for you.
You need to look at this particular instance from a larger perspective. If you are trying to get advice from spirit guides or from Higher Energy consciousness, you must understand that from their perspective, your Spirit is the most important thing to them. In the spirit world, issues on the physical plain are often not nearly as important as issues related to your growth and health on the spiritual level. They understand that temporary inconveniences that may seem like big deals to us in the present are not nearly as important as your spiritual health. In the long term, say ten years from now, the fact that your pipes burst will mean nothing to you. But if your spiritual growth is stunted ten years from now, your life is likely to be a mess!
There are also certain events in life from which we are not meant to be sheltered. If your spirit guides were to enable you to avoid every negative experience in your life, how could you possibly grow? The psychic may have been intentionally shielded from coming up with information about the pipes because there was a lesson for you to learn, or possibly a person you were meant to encounter through the experience. Sometimes the greatest lessons come from adversity, and many of the strongest bonds are created at the same time.
I know when you are in the thick of a situation, it's hard to understand why it's happening to you. My personal take is that there are important lessons you will glean from this experience. I feel that things will start to get back to normal by the end of March. Stay strong and you will get through this. My advice is to consider that sometimes it's better not to know everything.
I wish you the best of luck!
