Describe how you first found out about your psychic abilities.

Growing up, my mother was clairvoyant and clairaudient. She and I both saw ghosts in our house, which had been built on Native American burial ground, but she could communicate with those who had passed on, as well as receive transmissions from higher intelligence, what she calls light beings. She was also trained as a remote viewer later on in my teenage years, so I was always exposed to the subtle realms as she tuned me into them at an early age. But I first became aware of my own sensitivities around the age of 12.

How was it growing up with these special skills. Are they natural talents or did you study and develop them?

Mostly it became evident some time after my mother had taken me to a prayer meeting where the people prayed over me. I became more sensitive to energies in environments, and extremely interested in the esoteric. When I went to college I learned to read tarot and found my format for looking at people’s energies. Once I am “looking” at the inquirer, the doorway to their higher self opens. The more open a person is, the more I am able to see and interpret messages from their spirit guides, or higher selves, and this can result in me channeling information that I am merely a conduit for.

Do you think anyone can develop psychic skills?

The key to developing psychic skills is turning inward to connect with spirit in focused meditation. Particularly, opening the third eye and bringing more light to the back of the brain by activating the pineal gland, can significantly increase telepathy and psychic insight. As humanity continues to evolve, more and more people will remember their higher selves, and will be more able to focus their intuition, gaining answers from within. Modern society has dulled extra sensory perception in the masses. Many souls have come here purposely for this time on Earth to assist in the great shift which is now occurring. As we are in the first wave of Ascension into the Golden Age, more and more will awaken to assist others to in turn awaken. We have forgotten our magnificence but as humanity continues to drop the illusion of third dimensional reality, more and more people will remember their abilities as we collectively rise through consciousness into the fifth dimension and beyond.

What type of mentality do you think it takes to develop these skills?

I believe the type of mentality required to develop psychic ability is primarily to understand that everything is energy and that the unseen world is where 99% of true reality exists. In other words, physical reality is merely one percent of total manifestation, and is essentially, an illusion. Sound, light, and inner vision are more powerful than what appears to be real in the third dimension. In developing psychic ability, it is important to remember that it is really accessing other levels of reality and an openness to messages from sources beyond the normal senses.

Are you able to turn your psychic abilities ‘on’ or ‘off’ when you want to? Do you have any rituals to turn them ‘on’?

My approach to reading for people has boundaries. I only “look” when someone asks me to. This comes from the distaste I developed in my early years regarding the dynamic I observed of people losing their power to someone who could “read their mind” or see things about them that they could not. I saw some psychics “lording it over” others and decided that I would create a structure to reading people’s energy. Thus the format of using the tarot. This displaced the center of power from me as the reader back to the person inquiring. The tarot is a tool to help access the inquirer’s higher self. Then, I am interpreting their pictures and merely a conduit for messages from them. It is important to me to empower the inquirer by assisting them to see the themes they are creating in their lives, and not taking credit for their outcomes. So, I “turn on” my ability by focusing on them with the intention to see their pictures for their highest understanding. Sometimes I will have flashes of understanding about a person after a reading, and this is useful for follow up when they call back.

Is there anything about having your abilities that has made life more difficult?

Being able to look at and interpret people’s energies has really enhanced my life, with really just one minor “”down side”. Some of my friends have the double agenda of wanting me to always read for them. I can’t just hang out with them without them wanting a reading. Sometimes I have to say, “”I am off duty, let me have a glass of wine!”” (I do not read when I drink a glass of wine unless I am at a bar and I have been inclined to look at and interpret people’s palms for entertainment purposes). But really, since an early age I felt called to serve and this ability has focused my life path along those lines.

How did you get into doing psychic readings?

In college I hung out with women who were dedicated to esoteric studies. This is where my practice began. I got into doing readings in my twenties after pouring over tarot cards for hours upon hours. My friends and I would exchange readings. I began to develop my own style for reading in my thirties, and more recently in the past six years I have fine tuned my abilities by the sheer quantity of readings I have done. I have found the more I do, the more my ability to see opens and opens.

What happens during a psychic reading with you?

In preparation for a reading, I merely focus on the individual with no other distractions. By my intention and the spread of the cards, I can quickly see what is around a person – what is present, past and future for them, what their obstacles are, where their openings are, or whether something is favored or obstructed and why. Messages begin to come through me. When I am reading I am focusing so intently upon that person, it is as if nothing else exists until our looking together has shifted their awareness. The words flow effortlessly from me and it can be surprising to me what comes out of my mouth. Sometimes, regardless of how much energy I put into facilitating new awareness in a client, they are in a loop and do not shift. So, after the reading, I am either energized or exhausted. Reading and engaging an individual on that level takes a lot of energy. I find it difficult to sustain for long periods of time and need to regain my reserve after an intense period of looking into other people’s pictures and outcomes.

What is your primary tool for divination? What is your specialty?

I use the tarot cards to access information. I am a painter, and appreciate the visual entry points to deeper understandings of human consciousness. I can also simply read energy but need to be looking at a person’s face or hands to do this. For all intensive purposes, I am a tarot reader.

Can you communicate with spirits who have passed on?

Spirits do tend to show up around people. I tend to see angelic presences, or the spirit guides of an individual, and they are quite often a close relative who has passed. When that is acknowledged, I find it easy to channel messages to the inquirer. This tends to bring a sense of relief to the person I am reading for. The most important aspect of reading for an individual, I believe, is to tune them into the unseen world. This is what brings them reassurance and comfort that they really are not alone, and truly loved. If there is a negative energy around them that needs to be cleared, I can help them to focus their energy to purify their space as well. I helped one client to acknowledge that her mother’s spirit was still tied to this dimension, and not in a good way. She was confused and trapped energetically in her old life. We prayed for her mother to move on to the higher realms. This took some effort, but eventually, the client reported that things were not “”being messed with”” by her mother’s energy any longer, and that she felt her mother had finally crossed over.

What do you like best about working as a Telephone Expert Reader?

As a phone reader, I enjoy connecting with the voice of the caller. There is so much information in the voice and if the caller is really open, so much information can come through.

Is there anything else you’d like to share about your abilities or a good experience?

I do really enjoy when someone I have read for in the past comes back around to let me know that what came through during the reading has come to pass and that they knew how to handle it because of the insight that was previously shared in a reading. This reinforces the connection between the two of us and it is gratifying to know that I have assisted them in some way. I have noticed an increase in my psychic abilities most recently after an auto accident and healing from an injury I sustained. In spending more time in meditation, I am receiving spontaneous “”transmissions”” from higher realms about humanity and global events we are now in the middle of. I have become aware that this is my calling, assisting others to access their higher selves as we collectively shift out of fear into love into the Golden Age ahead.
