December 20, 2022Sitting With Spirit and a Guided Visualization
This week, I am talking about “sitting with spirit” as part of my personal development practice. I talked about this in the episode about making time for your development, but this episode will be more in depth. I am going to lead you through a guided visualization experience as an example of one way I sit with spirit. Even though I was aware of mediumship for most of my life, my development path didn’t start until my first mediumship connection. Sitting in the power is a foundational part of the Spiritualist tradition and teachings, but as I’ve mentioned before, it wasn’t sustainable for me. I need more flexibility in my practice, which is how I started sitting with spirit.

This is also why I teach The Initiation, my 8-Week Mediumship Foundations Experience, the way that I do. I provide a variety of learning formats such as live classes, self-paced lessons, Q+A opportunities, community and practice readings. I want this path to be accessible to as many people as possible! Many alumni from this experience go on to join my monthly membership, the Spirit School Collective, so I have a special deal for 2023. For the first time, I will be offering an annual membership for $1111 USD and it will include The Initiation (a $888 USD value) for FREE! The cart for this will be open until we start on January 31st, so there is time to decide if this feels aligned for you.

I hope that what I share in this episode helps you to find a spiritual practice that fits your needs so that you can continue to expand on your path.

In this episode:
A sitting in the power practice will improve your mediumship and connection with yourself
Meditation and slowing down can be hard for some people
It can feel unsafe and cause discomfort to be present in the body
Spirit School is all about development that honours your humanity
I dedicated 30 minutes a day to my spiritual growth and sitting with spirit
I chose between meditation, oracle cards, and tuning into clients for upcoming sessions
I had a profound experience with Skylar that introduced me to connecting through pendulums
I would sometimes use my sitting with spirit time to listen to mediumship lectures
One of my claircognizant exercises is to journal things that can be validated tomorrow
I keep all of my development journals and can see the accuracy of the lists increasing
No matter which practice I chose, I always dedicated 30 minutes a day to sitting with spirit
When you care about it, you will make space for development
My goal is to make spiritual development accessible, so choose what resonates with you
It is a great act of self love to have space to tune into yourself, even for 30 minutes
Your sensitivity and connection to yourself and your intuition will increase
The world of spirit watches us and helps align things that match our intentions and actions
Wild spiritual experiences have followed after dedicated to sitting with spirit
Even when things get busy, I yearn for that connection and spend time sitting with spirit
This helps us to open our awareness back up to spirit when it feels like it’s closed up
Music can help busy minds to stay present when sitting in the power

December 13, 2022Spirit Speaks with Medium Michael Mayo
This week, I am having a conversation with my dear friend Michael Mayo. He is a medium, the founder of the Oakbridge Institute, and the author of a new book, Spirit Speaks. Michael shares that he wanted his book to have everything someone needs to begin their mediumship development journey. He talked about how mediumship is more about allowing yourself to receive than technique, and shared his thoughts on the differences between UK and US mediumship standards. One of the things that came out of this conversation was a shared agreement that we need more genuine sharing and accessibility for mediumship because it can benefit everyone.

I said more than once in the episode how energizing it was to have this conversation about mediumship! This is one of the benefits of being in community while doing this work.

The next round of The Initiation starts on January 31! Join the waitlist for a special bundle and pricing. (Hint: This will be especially exciting if you’ve been thinking about joining my monthly membership!)

In this episode:
It is surreal to have people reading his new book and reflecting back how impactful it is
Someone from Llewellyn publishing saw his interview on Shift Network and offered a book deal
He wrote his new book, Spirit Speaks, in a focused month of writing
Michael saw a need for his type of teaching that is not technique based
He wanted his book to have everything someone needs to begin their mediumship journey
If you teach a technique, it’s not going to work for everyone
Teach the bigger principles of surrender, allowing, trust, letting go of tension
Pioneers of spiritualism didn’t have techniques, they sat in presence and communed with Spirit
Spiritualists in the US and UK had to overcome religious extremism
In Indigenous cultures, it was accepted as a role you were born into without barriers
Spiritualists asked religious questions, like does Jesus say this is okay?
Indigenous cultures talk to animal and plant people as equals on this planet
Michael notes that today’s battle is scientific in addition to being religious
In a materialistic society, it’s hard to imagine not having to prove something
We can’t bypass the human experience and need for some validation
In the end, we want to honour the world of spirit and their messages
Focus on the phenomena of mediumship makes spirit a tool for performance
I imagine that my Nana would demand my attention as a medium
TV mediums created new expectations of what a sitting is like
While it normalized mediumship, but it also lowered the standards in some ways
The UK has kept it sacred, while it’s about entertainment and persona in the US
It’s not about systems and structures, it’s innate and about spiritual experiences
Religious context makes Spiritualism less accessible to people with religious trauma
Everyone loses someone, so can benefit from mediumship
We need people from all different walks of life to make it accessible
Mediums we admire are grounded and don’t need to prove themselves
Pinnacle mediums like Helen Hughes have shown what’s possible
She learned how to speak in front of people because of the responsibility
Though used offensively in literature, “ignorance” may mean more free to channel
Being a clear channel has more to do with surrender and confidence than intelligence
The title “evidential medium” has been used as a way to present as superior
It goes without saying that mediumship should be evidential so titles aren’t that crucial
There are people that will prefer facts, and others who prefer shared memories
We are all natural mediums because it’s how we connect to our spiritual self
CHildren have abilities before their prefrontal cortex is developed
Even a natural medium needs to develop and learn, just like a pianist
Michael has a troubleshooting section in the book of common issues
He reads excerpts are about having a heart of service and trusting yourself
One change in mediumship is it is a staple in research of evidential proof of survival
We are also moving away from showmanship and into the bigger picture and meaning
We will be discerning what is genuine and what is harmful on platforms like TikTok
Genuine and honest people don’t need to be loud and receive the validation
Michael reflected his appreciation for how I share my voice in this work

December 01, 2022December 2022 Spirit Messages
Thank you for your patience between solo episodes this past month while I’ve been healing from being sick. I’m happy to be back for the December Spirit Messages! I shared some news in the episode about acquiring my physical space for Spirit School here in Squamish. I will have to do another one to share the whole journey with you!

In the Spirit School Collective, my monthly membership, we will be doing our FIRST online Psychic Fair on December 10th! You will be able to register for a reading very soon. I had so much fun doing these in my development, and I can’t wait! In addition to my practice circles, Stacee Magee (Spirit Fluent) who you met in a recent episode, will be teaching a Medical Intuition workshop in the Collective as a guest mentor in December. One of my clients, Alesha, will be teaching about the feminine this month too! As if that isn’t enough, the Spirit School Collective members will also have a five day giveaway in December!

We’re wrapping up our 5-day experience, The Confident Lightworker, in the free Spirit School Community this week. From November 28 - December 2, I’m going live each day to share teachings and tips about building up your confidence, whether you are doing this work to serve or for yourself! The replays for each 30 minute live session will be available for you to experience any time.

The messages for December are focused on returning to the love within yourself, and I hope you are able to take some time to connect this month.

December Spirit Messages:
The first messages was returning to love
Being wrapped in divine white loving light by spirit
Spirit acknowledging us for everything we’ve been through this year
These experiences help us to grow collectively in humanity and on the other side
We have had to surrender and find our inner guidance for discernment
It feels like we have reached the peak and will be unwinding and unpacking
We are being asked to return to love at this time
Can we see conflicts from a lens of love?
Allow yourself to anchor into love from the inside out
Some of you may feel a resistance to this love because of conditioning
Until we can receive it from our source, we won’t receive it in from others
Take intentional moments to sense and return to that love
There will be a ripple effect in our homes, communities and globally if we do
Spirit is asking us not to overcomplicate the healing required to change society
Returning to love can bring completions and resolutions in mindset and relationships
If you feel this love daily in December, your life can be very different by next month
Simplify and streamline so that you can focus on what matters most
Ask yourself how you can experience the busyness of the holidays with a place of love
There were a lot of 1s, indicating new beginnings for the new year
April is the astrological new year and spring feels like a fresh start
If you are feeling bored looking ahead, reimagine with excitement
It can be scary making changes when there are no guarantees
There's healing in taking positive movement forward in things that excite you
Why choose boredom when it’s just as uncertain?
Cards are also suggesting that collaboration could be the path forward
There is throat chakra and speaking attached to this
I am collaborating for my Trauma Informed Light Worker Certification Program
I could do it alone but I want to bring in other voices and perspectives
The world of spirit acknowledges your acceptance of your darker sides
You will gain so much confidence from the deep work this year
We chose to be who and where we are because we are needed here

November 22, 2022REPLAY - Lecture Series: Personal Power & Your Dream Life IGTV
Because I’ve been sick for the past few weeks, while also manifesting my dream physical space for Spirit School, it seemed like a good time to revisit a past episode. This episode is from March and it’s a compilation of a few IGTV live videos about manifesting your dream life and cultivating personal power.
In this episode, I share how I called in my dream weekly schedule as an entrepreneur by allowing myself to dream big. I share about the shift from staying small to expanding so that I can inspire others by shining brightly. Have a journal handy to follow along with my exercise to manifest your dream week!
Join us next week for a 5-day experience, The Confident Lightworker, in the free Spirit School Community. I’ll be going live for 30 minutes each day to share teachings and tips about building up your confidence, whether you are doing this work to serve or for yourself!

Doing what scares you offers invaluable growth
Having boundaries around your cycles and time

Cultivating self love and personal power without external validation

November 08, 2022Medical Intuition with Stacee Magee, Spirit Fluent
Stacee Magee (Spirit Fluent)
This week’s guest, Stacee Magee, is TikTok famous for her incredible medical intuitive abilities. She has shared herself authentically on the platform and attracted many spiritual humans to follow her journey. I have been following her for quite awhile and we have become good friends. I’ve had three sessions with Stacee and am amazed by her accuracy! She will be teaching a medical intuitive intensive next year, so be sure to follow her if you’re interested in learning.

Stacy has many talents and abilities, so we only scratched the surface in this interview. From medical intuition to tattoo placements, the conversations we could have are endless! Stacee will be back on Spirit School to talk about her book on birthmarks next, in another episode.

In this episode:
Stacee identifies as a psychic weirdo rather than any other title that has been given to her
She is a mom to seven children and has been married 22 years
“Who am I really” is a big question and she is a rainbow who sheds light to help people
Many of her children are spiritually gifted and she enjoys watching them change
Stacee is generous and offers free medical intuitive readings and healing circles
Generosity and healing are in her astrology and she identifies with the wounded healer
A near death awakening around age 35 set her on a healing path
Her business thrives on generosity and making sure others have access she didn’t
Giving and receiving can come in seasons instead of at the time time
There is a dichotomy of generosity between being surprised and disappointed
People offer to help with Spirit Fluent without asking for compensation
I love Stacee’s simple yet accurate approach to medical intuition
People thank her after free readings because they have helped doctors find issues
One example was a lady experiencing headaches that ended up being a medical emergency
She states that she is not better than a doctor, but is connecting on many layers
Stacee described her ability as telekinesis and x-ray vision related to her autism
Sometimes it’s spirit or their higher self giving information and messages
She’s always had these abilities but didn’t understand them
Stacee was branded a hypochondriac because she could feel everyone else’s shit
I often feel like I am picking up on the ailments of my parents when I feel achy
Stacee recommends that you ask spirit if it’s yours or someone else’s
Thank them for the information and say process and release and/or touch a tree
Intuitive people’s auras are bigger and at one time we could all feel and understand each other
A medical study showed that Tylenol or Advil deceases empathy
Early in my development, I had a knowing not to take it before my sessions
In the spiritual space, people are afraid that medications will affect their abilities
Take care of your mental health and discern for yourself what feels right
I know of many mediums who can work fine with their medications
I recommend that students look at Stacee’s disclaimers and preparation for clients
She says her medical field experience and life coaching certification helped with intake
State your abilities and refer people for anything outside of that
Some things were added to the disclaimer after things went wrong
It’s important to have an emergency contact in case something happens on a call
Being trauma informed is important when dealing with sensitive topics in readings
Stacee shared a story about spirit urging her to share medical info at a farmer’s market
I don’t typically advise drive by readings, but this one seemed like divine intervention
Being in crowded places without shielding can be physically overwhelming
Stacee tries to go when it’s less crowded or collapses her aura down for protection
Her favourite readings are helping children with special needs communicate with parents
People in the healing arts are healing intergenerational money wounds
Healers used to be supported by the community, but now money is the exchange
Stacee has learned medical intuition from listening to spirit and clients’ bodies
Spirit leads her to resources for things she needs to learn
At a medical conference, a body scan indicated that people with tattoos leak energy
Stacee realized that tattoos are healing based on their placement
Her dad was a naturopath and she learned about acupuncture points as a child
She began telling people what they were healing from their tattoo placements
My inner forearm tattoos mean healing from control and taking power back
This aligns with the cultural genocide of my Indigenous ancestors
I had a birthmark that disappeared and a new one appear this year
Birthmarks are unhealed emotions from ancestors or past lives
My birthmark brought up the fact that I am a chronic worrier and need to trust my intuition
As spiritual people, we are aware of more things to be fearful of
We are in a human body to learn, and birthmarks may show why we have returned
Stacee will be teaching an intensive medical intuition course
Cheap certifications are not ethical, or inclusive of the experience needed

November 01, 2022November 2022 Spirit Messages
I’ve been under the weather this week, so the November spirit messages may feel a bit different than the past few months that were more channeled. I want to thank you for your solidarity in response to my last episode on the shadowy side of spiritual business. I received so many messages, including people who had a similar experience with the same podcaster, and others who agreed it was time to bring these issues to light. Scorpio season was perfect timing and I want to thank you for complimenting my vulnerability. If you are drawn to that aspect of my work, there is probably part of you who desires to show up in a similar way.
November is going to be an exciting month in Spirit School! In the Collective, we will have practice circles and a Q&A on death doula work with me. Sara Rose will also be teaching about Human Design in the membership, and there will be weekly opportunities to practice as always. In the free Spirit School space, we will be doing a five-day experience, The Confident Lightworker, that you are welcome to join whether you are practicing or not! This will take place the week of November 21st.

In this episode:
The first message that came to me for November was “a little bit more”
We think we need to have a huge shift to change things for ourselves
We actually just need a little bit more - peace, socialization, time to ourselves
Over-consumption is the norm but we don’t actually desire a lot more
We forget what we’ve been through in the pandemic, like after childbirth
Extremes have lessened over time, but we still feel we need something drastic
Spirit wants you to ask yourself, what can you do a little bit more of?
The shifts are big even if they seem small
There's also a message to have a bit more compassion for ourselves
It has taken courage to get to where you are now so give yourself credit
Desiring it more won’t make it come before it is meant to
Allow what you desire to come to you and sit in the contentment of the moment
A lot of us are past or forward thinking instead of being present in contentment
Instead of treasure hunting for shadow work, just deal with what comes up
Our peace will increase as the intensity of world events does as well
I get the feeling that we are being lifted up and becoming a lot brighter
If you usually avoid world events, you may be asked to step up in courage
You are sensitive, so you won’t come across as harmful
I don’t resonate with January as the new year, but people are thinking about 2023
You can follow curiosities instead of sticking to one thing like in the past
We don’t need to fully heal before moving on to the next thing
Because I am not feeling well, I am going back to cards instead of channeling today
We don’t have to relinquish hope when things are intense in the world
We chose to be here and thrive at this time to gain spiritual strength
We may not see the rewards, and new sense of clarity, for a year
Our loved ones in spirit are in awe that we chose to be here at this time
Every choice we make shapes what the world will look like in a year
I feel certain in my heart that we will be okay despite what happens in November
The exchange of people stepping up while others sit in stillness is beautiful

October 25, 2022The Shadow Side of this Biz
We are in Scorpio season, which I love! Today’s episode will touch on the shadow side of being a spiritual entrepreneur. It is based on a question I received in the Spirit School Collective, my monthly membership, for a Business Q&A session.
Most of what I share about my business is the exciting parts of the journey. There are metrics to show that my business is successful, but I am also nine years into my development. In addition to the magic that happens, there are parts of it that are not so positive. I’ve been thinking a lot about the dichotomy we experience where we are thriving in one part of life, while consistently struggling in another. In this episode, I am sharing some of the challenging and painful experiences on my entrepreneurship path to give a more balanced perspective on what it has entailed.
The question asked was, “I consider you successful as a business sister. You speak and do a lot of things that are very generous, and I know deeply you are a giving soul. How has that generosity of yourself healing sister wounds by supporting other women in their businesses impacted you? And what is the return of spiritual energy for you?”

In this episode:
I am not one to brag, but there are metrics to show that my business is successful
Things can be going so well in one area while we struggle in another
I have had magic unfolding as I acquire a physical space in Squamish
Meanwhile, I have also been slighted in the past few weeks
I’ve been told I make it look easy, but a lot happens behind the scenes that is not
I wouldn’t be able to do everything I do without my team
The reward and joy on this path is parallel to the problems we face
Like motherhood, the beauty of it is worth the hard work
Question (above) about my origin story of healing sister wounds
I share the work of students and other lightworkers with my Instagram audience
Lynn Tucknies credits me sharing her for being able to go full-time
I contract when I talk about myself in this way
I’m healing and getting better at seeing myself the way you see me
It’s not common, but I also have other mediums co-teach and interview them
I personally have never experienced the same generosity that I give other people
I’ve been ghosted when being offered opportunities for TV shows, podcasts and magazines
My intention for Spirit School was to create what I wish I had in my development
The Spirit School Collective is an ecosystem that is supportive and non-competitive
I have always had a long-term vision for my legacy
My hope is that people who thrive in my spaces recreate that in their own communities
One of my core values is reciprocity, which is lacking in this space
I have a large and engaged audience who are drawn to my open way of sharing
It has taken a lot of healing for me to work on my not enoughness
My husband pointed out that my first mentor was taking advantage of me
The pattern is that I do a lot for people and then am discarded
Now that I am in a place of influence, people take advantage and don’t reciprocate
After being on my podcast, bigger names haven’t shared it or talked to me again
Recently, a guest I had on requested for their episode to air right away
I worked hard on making the episode interesting because I knew it would be a struggle
When it came time to interview me, they provided no context and were scrolling on their phone
They cut the interview short and said they would reschedule and then didn’t respond to me
At first, I was too busy with the realtor and Spirit School for it to bother me
I later realized how rude it was and have been unpacking my experience with mutuals
I don’t feel threatened and have accepted that my audience may work with guests instead of me
What is mine will not pass me, so I do not have scarcity in this work
Spirit School is part of a vision to change the space of lightworking and mediumship
People in the membership don’t act like that, and it is not an energetic match for those who do
I feel that I am meant to be self-made without someone to help my career take off
I desire for people coming after me to have a more collaborative experience
I may never get to see the ripple effect that I have but that’s okay
The return I receive is having people ask these questions and notice the difference
I am not healed, but issues of worthiness and heartbreak have less influence over time
I’ve always had a drive to work for what I wanted despite any obstacles
Situations like this make me want to promote others and share the light more
It has been the most magical month, but there has been an equal amount of negative too
Declare that you will thrive, even in the shadow
Ignore vanity metrics and focus on the audience you have now

October 18, 2022Lecture Series: Spirit School Q+A
The Spirit School Lecture Series highlights my live teachings in the areas of mediumship, spiritual and personal development, entrepreneurship, and quality of life. Today’s episode was adapted from a monthly Q&A session in my free Spirit School space in September 2022. I have really enjoyed doing my live conversations in that community in place of Instagram! As I have said many times, I teach from my own experiences, and I am flexible in my beliefs. I invite you to take what resonates and leave what doesn’t.
This conversation covered topics such as receiving more messages in mediumship readings, open versus closed eyes, and being an indirect messenger. .

As a spiritual entrepreneur, did spirit lead you or help you with your business?
Spirit is my agent and my algorithm
What do you do when you're receiving messages and you're not giving a reading?
I allow spirit to bring people to me if I’m meant to connect with them
People receiving random readings on TV have already signed waivers
Can you provide messages for people who are not at the sitting?

Whether you pass along messages depends on the person and their beliefs

The power of the mind can manifest physical symptoms
If spirit is supposedly here to help us to stay on our path, why is it difficult to communicate?
I don’t think we’re meant to know and some things will remain a mystery

October 11, 2022Declarations to Spirit - They Do Respond
This episode is based on a philosophy that I received from Spirit a couple rounds ago in The Initiation. I remember the world of Spirit coming through so strong and saying, “You need to remind them that we respond to their declarations.” So much of this work is about declarations, and it was an impactful message to deliver.
This kind of inspired speaking feels so much more powerful than a mediumship link to me. There's just something about my spirit waking up when I speak about certain things, even in classes and mentorship sessions. The physical sensations and the emotional sensations that I get to experience every time I teach or record a podcast are so beautiful that I hope everyone in their lives gets to experience it at some point.
I can definitely feel my spirit lifting and raising and expanding every time I speak something that I feel like my soul and my spirit really needs to speak. I believe that sometimes it is a combination of my spirit helpers on the other side inspiring me. In this episode, I share some recent experiences that demonstrate these philosophies.

In this episode:
I used to use all types of modalities and look for signs that I am meant to do this work
There is nothing in my life that makes me feel this way
I didn’t feel it until I was 31 and I know many people never do
It happens more consistently as you continue on your journey and let down your walls
Most of my conversations with Skylar are one way, and occasionally I am gifted a response
I was overwhelmed when he said that I choose, and that Spirit will adjust accordingly
I could have served in corporate because we need lightworkers in all areas of society
One of my students makes digital collages with AI and says AI needs our light
I’m tired of waiting for drastic things to happen before policies are created
I decided in December 2019 to incorporate my business and left my job in February
During that time was the first time no one was booking readings
I remember telling the world of spirit with such conviction, I'm doing it anyways
As soon as I left, I was booked out and had people asking for online mentorship
You may sometimes lean back too much or give too much power away
In times that I was too depleted to use clairsentience and asked for clairaudience
I still prefer clairsentience because it is tangible and evidential for me
I asked for specific dates when I was feeling my deficits and got one in a reading
I learn from you and build my confidence when you share similar experiences
I understand that there are communities that want to keep their knowledge sacred
While being mindful of that, I hope my way of sharing makes people feel seen
A couple weeks ago, I had a rare moment where I felt successful
I realized all that I’ve created from the side of my bed
I was told by my therapist and mentor that I should socialize more
I started thinking in that feeling of success that an office would be good for me
I first had a vision in 2017 of having a space on the waterfront in Squamish
It wasn’t built up yet and the 20 year plan made it seem impossible
Most of my profit goes to client experience and I thought it was out of my budget
I found out that some retail spaces are less than my mastermind payment
The realtor dismissed me and a friend connected me with another one through Instagram
I said to spirit, I trust that if it’s meant to happen, it will happen easily for me
Within an hour, she messaged me with a time to see the space the next day
It hasn’t been listed and is more than my mastermind, but I know it’s my space
My mentor Mavis Pittilla loved to teach spiritual philosophy, my favourite part of development
Before her passing, I called in her mentor Gordon Higginson as an inspirer for teaching
I asked for Mavis to inspire me for the class and it was one of my favourites
In bed, my daughter said, I know what happens in the seventh level of heaven. You reincarnate.
When I thought of the magic of today, I was overwhelmed with joy and support
I recorded a lecture of Mavis in 2015 where she talked about the 7 levels of heaven
I feel that these mediums from the past do listen and support me
Trust that whatever you are ready for will come to you
If you aren’t seeing results, you may need more experience

October 2022 Spirit Messages
September has been a big month for Spirit School! We are two weeks into The Initiation, which was my biggest launch so far. In the Spirit School Collective, my trauma informed business coach joined us to have conversations around holding space for grief and managing our energy as lightworkers. We also restructured to allow weekly classes with me to combine teachings, practice and Q+A sessions. They have been very expansive and a reflection of the month of creation I had in September.
I have officially launched the application for my first retreat in the Spirit School Collective! It will be in the forest of British Columbia and there are 32 spots available. If there are spots left after my membership has the opportunity to apply, I will open it up to the waitlist. I am so excited for the opportunity to meet some Spirit School people in person and to have amazing experiences together!
I am also currently seeking a brick and mortar space for Spirit School for a space to work and to also make my dream of having an ethically sourced line of merchandise that I can store and source myself! Spirit School is coming alive and I share these parts of the journey because you have been with me on this journey. Once we step on the development path, we are on a healing path as well, so it’s important to me to share all aspects of the evolution. I feel that I offer an energetic space for people to have their own spiritual experiences, and I strongly believe that Spirit School will be a physical school by spring next year!

In this episode:
When one area of life is going well, another is struggling
Where we need development in mediumship often reflects our personal life
The development path and our human and healing journey are parallel
If you have trouble surrendering to spirit, where in your life do you need to release control?
When you heal your human, you will see the results in your readings
Being out of balance supports our evolution and growth
We don’t look at ourselves as deeply when things are in balance
It is not in everyone’s dharma to be conscious of their spiritual evolution
I teach the zoom out approach in mediumship to see who is giving psychic information
For personal development or conflict, ask to see from the lens of spirit
Sometimes imbalances bring our attention to another neglected area
It’s okay if you feel more pulled to your human than spirituality in this season
In October, we will be pulled to see where we need to focus in the winter
Release judgment because it’s harmful to think everything must be smooth
Alignment has never been an indicator of spiritual evolution
Shifting our interests allows us to be more whole as humans and practitioners
We may go through the whole wheel every year
I want us to stop seeing ourselves in a deficit
Inner narratives will come up to bring epiphanies
The busyness of the mind may be seen as a superpower rather than a detriment
A clear and quiet mind is not accessible to everyone
The people whose teachings we are following did not have social media and smartphones
We are meant to evolve into the next iteration of spiritual beings
There will be new teachers and philosophies, so we need to make space
We are in a time of free will and change in our societies and structures
What are you going to release to bring in new energy?
We can clearly see the mistakes of past generations and decide what’s next
Being able to choose for ourselves is wealth, and a privilege
Think about your choices as contributing to collective wealth
Choose what benefits the greater good, even at the discomfort of us now
It’s time to shift out of individualism out to family, community, to globally
We can stop carrying the past like a badge of honour, starting with our thoughts
The only way to the new life we desire is making the decision to change
Stop buying into societal norms that make you feel you are in a deficit
Go back to traditional teachings that we are always whole and evolving
There’s no going back now and the steps only go up from here
Meditate with the word sovereignty to get your own understanding of it
It’s a time of great knowing and we have been taught not to trust ourselves
We used to trust ourselves and support our communities
Knowing is the purest form of communication with the divine
In spirit communication, it all comes through knowing and filters through the clairs
We have been slowly taught through generations to not trust ourselves
Now we are at the bottom and are building a new foundation on the way up
I always appreciate hearing how these messages align with other people’s forecasts
