Having spirit-communication abilities does not automatically make life happier or make it easier to find friends. I have met many people with such abilities along the way, and have not seen anyone become especially happy simply because of them. So before pursuing this ability, think clearly about why you want it and what you intend to do with it.

Having more perceptions can sometimes make relationships harder. Someone may appear polite while you sense doubt or an unkind side, leaving you with feelings to work through. However, whether those perceptions are correct also needs to be checked with the person. Without their feedback, it is difficult to be completely certain that your feeling is right.

If you truly begin serving deities and living beings, your time will also be affected. Some spirit communicators I knew were still busy at temples during Lunar New Year, and were helping others at Mid-Autumn Festival while other people enjoyed barbecues. I serve clients and teach students, so I need to make separate arrangements for family time. Energy work also requires rest. If you expect only an extra miraculous ability without considering whether you are willing to give in this way, the work may feel very hard.

There is still happiness to be found. When you genuinely want to help someone and discover that your ability can be useful, that becomes a source of joy. Following a spiritual path and serving living beings requires finding your own great aspirations and love so that you have strength to continue. If you merely want to exchange supernatural powers for popularity and approval, your original difficulties in relationships will not automatically disappear.
