When you choose to believe in yourself, you’re ignoring the status quo that says you require approval from others in order to proceed with your belief in you.

Many of us, myself included, have been the cheerleaders and validators for others in our lifetime - whether friends, family, students, clients, co-workers, strangers we meet and encourage.

The demand to predict the future is intense, and often invalidating.

When you require predictions from outside of you for what is going to happen in the future, you invalidate your own spirit’s ability to see, know, and most importantly, create. You give away your power to create your future.

Who is your professional practice for? Whom do you want to serve?

When I first started my own journey as a clairvoyant student, learning the art of seeing energy and reading it for myself and others, one of my underlying thoughts was that I could use this to help.

It’s not fun to be psychic if you don’t have control over your abilities.

When you can’t control how your psychic abilities are working, it can feel unsafe to be psychic. You might even feel like psychic abilities aren’t a positive creative thing to have in the first place.

You have the power to change yourself.

With that power comes great responsibility - not to change for others in a way that they want to see you change, but to change for yourself, to become more of who you are here to be.

You might say that there are two kinds of energy in existence - your own energy, and energy that isn't yours.

The tricky part of this is knowing the difference between the two. It's not that the energy that isn't yours is wrong, it's that it won't work as well inside of you as your own energy will.

Should you stay, or should you go?

Is what you are committing your energy to, still working for you? I am the last person to tell you what you should do. You may have a few well-meaning folks who are only trying to … ahem - help, by making sure you know what you should do.

Agreements, among other things, make the world go round.

Every aspect of life has agreements attached, both conscious and unconscious ones.

Conscious agreements include the agreement to speak the truth, and to hear that truth.

I have learned to listen to my body when it is telling me things.

In my younger years, I didn’t listen much at all, and didn’t even know this might be a good thing to do.

I had non stop energy and the ability to run at a very fast speed and Get A Lot Done, and so I didn’t understand or hear my body when it was talking to me. It may have tried to communicate with me quietly and politely at first, I don’t know, because I wasn’t present to hear it. I just kept doing all the things and telling my body ‘this is what we’re doing today’. I was Type A+, I mean, I had it all under control!

Everyone is born with the ability to see energy.

The ability to see with the inner eye, which is also known as the 3rd eye, 6th chakra, clairvoyance - is available to all.

This is a creative ability, built into our energy system, part of our spiritual anatomy. It’s the software that comes with having a body. Many people have used this spiritual ability since they were born without thinking too much about it.

Just when I thought I’d finally been getting the hang of it, it’s time to take another leap forward in learning how to trust.

I am specifically talking about trusting myself, and trusting that I am supported in my life. In other words - knowing that no matter what, my spirit’s got me, and my body knows what to do. Learning to trust myself is a daily practice that began when I chose to make a commitment to my own growth and healing. Since that time, I’ve become quite used to trusting myself in so many important ways. When it’s time again for me to take a step forward, take some chances, and be vulnerable - I realize I’ve got another round of trusting to do.

Have you ever gone through a time when suddenly you can see what’s in front of you more clearly?

I’ll never forget the first time I saw through some of what had been making it difficult for me to see what was right in front of me.

I was in my 4th grade Catholic school classroom, sitting in the midst of an emotional battlefield happening between a nun and another child my age. It didn’t feel safe to be in a body in that room during this battle. But then I felt as if a filter that had been blocking my ability to see what was happening, suddenly lifted
