I have been psychic my whole life, as I ‘knew’ things. But I thought everyone “knew” things. In 1995 I had several awakening experiences which lead me on a path to self-discovery. It was then that I realized that not everyone had an ability to “know” things with such certainty. I have been highly sensitive my whole life as well and have an intense ability to feel what other people were feeling. Since 1995 I have been consciously working with my gifts of clairvoyance, clairaudience, clairsentience, and Claircognizance.
I purchased my first tarot deck when I was 14 years old. My mother found it about a year later and threw it out.
How did your journey as a metaphysical practitioner start?
According to Dictonary.com channeling is defined as “the practice of professedly entering a meditative or trancelike state in order to convey messages from a spiritual guide”.
There are different types of channeling. One can channel any type of spiritual guide, Spirit Being, past loved ones, angels, divine, other beings or consciousness.
The type of channeling I do is connected to “Spirit”, your spirit guides, etc. From time to time, I will connect with a loved one who has passed, but that is not something I choose to do. It just happens when it is meant to happen. I cannot actively go and connect with your past loved one, therefore I do not offer “mediumship readings”.
The length of readding you should have is up to you. It depends on what your intention and budget are.
Tarot readings are offered in 30, 45 and 60 minute time slots.
Astrology readings are offered in 45, 60, and 90 minute time slots.
For Tarot, if you are looking for a simple entertainment style reading, then 30 minutes is sufficient. If you are looking for answers to specific events or multiple life situations then 45 minutes to an hour is sufficient.
For Astrology, the service offerings will tell you what you are receiving, so it really depends on what type of information you are seeking through an Astrology reading.
That is completely up to everyone. My thoughts are “when you feel like you require another reading.”
There are times in our life, with certain events that are transpiring, we require clarity. Those are the times you should have a reading. Sometimes you go through a major life event that is taking longer than other events in life so you may need additional clarity or information on the same subject within a short period of time. You may feel like you need to reconnect for a reading sooner rather than later.
Other times, you may not feel called to have a reading at all, and more time can pass between readings.
The choice is yours.
With astrology readings…
I have clients that book every six months for an overview. Others book annually, especially around their birthday (as your birthday is a point of reflecting on your past year and planning your next year). Quite a few people book their annual reading around January 1st to plan for the new year ahead. (I always offer One to two days of readings between the festive holiday season and New Years Day as well as several days within the first two weeks of January for New Years readings.
There are even clients that say their reading lasted longer than a year, so they may come every 2 years, four years … and some 10 years.
Overall, it is up to you.
If you start seeking too much information from psychics and you are having difficulty trusting what you hear, you may receive contradicting information from one psychic to another. If spirit is trying to teach you trust or faith, then this happens. It is also a way of Spirit letting you know that you have free will and choice.
If you trust the information that you receive, and the information is different than it may have something to do with the psychic themselves and how they are interpreting the information that they are receiving.
When two psychics are aligned with the same belief systems, the information will be very similar in nature.
When two psychics are completely mis-aligned in belief systems, the information will be opposite.
Go to a psychic who you feel connected to, and not someone who your friend told you to go to that you did not resonate with. You can ask your friends for referrals, but if you are not feeling like that person is a fit for you, find another psychic.
In the past I offered many in-person workshops, classes and lectures. Through my years of experience facilitating workshops, I have always found that personal experience is the best teacher. That is when I started facilitating Meditation Journeys with the intention of people receiving their own answers to their own abilities and symbolism within themselves.
If you feel you need a guide to aid you on your path of learning I offer One-on-one spiritual development sessions. These sessions are channeled for each individual differently on a weekly, bi-weekly or monthly depending on your preference and desire to accelerate learning. Keep in mind, sometimes the longer the time frame allows for integration of your experiences. Also keep in mind that this is a process that takes time. I do offer packages for three sessions, but most people who are interested in working with me, do so for 1 to 10 years.
I have been offering guided meditation journeys since 2007.
It depends on what you are looking for within your reading.
If you are on a path of self-discovery then I highly suggest an Astrology Reading.
If you are wondering about your intuitive or psychic abilities, then I suggest Astrology.
If you are looking into life events, then I suggest Tarot.
If you don’t know what you are looking for then I suggest Tarot.
I have been self-employed in the metaphysical field since 1995.
Many people have been asking if I offer my services online. Not everyone can make time sensitive events when held online, so I have decided to create meditations that can be downloaded and utilized when it suits you.
Journals are great tools for understanding and developing, the self, your abilities, or understanding how our interact with energy. What I use to teach in a workshop is now packed into a journal so that you can expand your own consciousness.
