Interview with a Psychic: Desire

Wanting things, naming them, letting yourself want without guilt.

Desire can feel complicated. We’re taught to shrink it, soften it, explain it away. To want too much is “selfish.” To admit what we long for can feel vulnerable, indulgent, even dangerous.

But desire is also information. It points toward the life, love, freedom, and fulfillment we’re meant to experience.

So, what happens when we stop apologizing for what we want?

For this installment of Interview with a Psychic, I sat down with the lovely Lex to talk about desire, self-worth, manifestation, and what it takes to let yourself receive without guilt.

Taylor: For a lot of people, desire comes with guilt or hesitation. Why is it so hard to fully admit what we want?

Lex: Because sometimes we believe that we don’t deserve it, especially if our needs were neglected or misunderstood during childhood. Feeling good and having desires met can feel shameful if we were conditioned to take care of others—even our parents. Sometimes, we feel like having a desire fulfilled can be selfish, or that it would compromise someone else's happiness, but that is a self-limiting belief. Do not neglect what you need or desire! 

Taylor: How can someone start to reconnect with their desires if they’ve spent a long time ignoring or suppressing them?

Lex: Start speaking the desire into existence, and be kind and gentle to yourself as you do it. If there is something you desire, start to act and feel like you’re experiencing it already. And when the desires do start to manifest themselves, take a moment to celebrate their arrival. Keep your desires private from those who like to see you misunderstood or under their authority. Convince your thoughts that what you desire is yours and to not guilt, shame or fear yourself out of receiving it. Fear or guilt (or people’s opinions) will suppress your feelings, which is what you need in order to have your desires fulfilled. Balanced happiness and joy will help you from ignoring your will. 

Taylor: What’s the difference between chasing something from a place of lack versus being pulled toward it from a place of alignment?

Lex: Chasing something from a place of lack will make you feel exhausted and burned out. It will make you feel alone, and daily tasks will feel draining. Things flow surprisingly naturally when you are in alignment. Your demeanor and character are satisfied with daily life. You realize you are in competition with no one and only want what’s best for you and your loved ones. You’ll probably notice you’ll want to drink more water than usual too. Taking breaks and/or vacations will help keep you aligned. It’s important that you have alone time to listen to what your heart is saying.
