ALIGN IN 9. Taking a mere 9 minutes daily to align your energy can change your entire life. Every morning we wake up to a lists of “to do's”. From running errands, checking email and getting wrapped up in social media, we forget to take a few minutes each day to simply allow our mind, body and spirit to become one.
This busy mentality prevents us from being clear vessels to ourselves and our loved ones. We become tired, irritable and completely exhausted with trying to keep up with the lists. Furthermore, we then feel guilty for even trying to take a few “me time” minutes!
By aligning your energy you can create more stamina, joy and balance in your life. Here is a quick tip to ALIGN IN 9!
Each morning, before getting out of bed or grabbing your phone, take a few breaths in and release slowly. With each breath, ask yourself the following questions:
QUESTIONS:
“Where am I feeling tension?”
“Where am I holding fear?”
“How is my body feeling today?”
“What is on my mind?”
“Where do I feel out of sync?”
As you approach each question, simply take a moment to release it. Releasing the need to control the outcome and sending it back to the universe creates space within our soul. We spend too much of our energy trying to control rather than trusting and surrendering. When we are in alignment, we bring together our MIND, BODY & SPIRIT. When we are centered, we then become more connected to our “higher-self“. Your higher-self is your all-knowing self. The self that receives bits of information on a daily basis filled with guidance and direction, yet we fail to yield the “advice” we are being given because we are too focused on the mind chatter.
This daily ritual can absolutely change your life! Ready for balance? Then try the Align in 9.
Of course July 4th is a reason to celebrate. It marks the anniversary of America's Independence! There are social gatherings, BBQ's and the annual tradition of watching fireworks! These magical displays not only light up the night but echo loudly with each boom.
This is the time to be extra protective of your pet. If you have a fur baby at home, they may become extremely frightened at the sound of fireworks. Since dogs and cats are incredibly sensitive to vibration, your fur baby may become anxious, jittery and frightened during a 4th of July celebration.
Just to give you an idea on how much more sensitive a dog or cat's hearing can be compared to its human parent take a look at these interesting facts:
A human has 6 muscles in its ear. In vibrational terms, it's a maximum of 20,000 Hz. Since sound is the made up of air vibrations, the faster the vibration, the higher pitch the sound. That means a human ear has the capacity to hear up to 20,000 vibrations per a SECOND. Pretty impressive, huh?
Well, FIDO has 18 muscles that control its ears! Furthermore it can hear 50,000 Hz! That is incredibly sensitive. So anything beyond 20,000 the human ear taps out, but a dog can keep hearing 2 1/2 times in Hz than people. In fact, that's not even all of it. Cats are even MORE sensitive than Dogs! A cat has 32 muscles in its ear and up to 64,000 Hz!
So, your best friend is not being a drama queen, they truly are hearing the sounds in a much more intense and frightening way than you can even imagine.
Here are FOUR tips to help your pet remain calm and safe this July 4th!
Stay at Home: As much as you want to leave the house and enjoy the celebration, being by your pets' side may help provide them with a sense of security.
Call the Doctor: Contact your veterinarian beforehand. Let your vet know if you believe your pet may exhibit some signs of being frightened or anxious at loud noises. There are Rx prescribed and holistic options available to help decrease anxiety allowing your best friend to relax.
Safeguard the premises: Watch for escape routes. Sometimes the stress of the situation can cause a pet to flee. Ensuring that your house is safeguarded will help keep your baby inside and not out roaming the streets. Animal shelters report an increase in lost pets during the July 4th holiday. Put a collar and pet tag on your pet so that in unfortunate case that your pet escapes, at least your contact information will be available. Hopefully you've had your baby microchipped, but if not, now might be a great time to get that off the “to do” list!
Create a distraction: Turn on a radio or TV to create some background noise. Having the TV or radio on may help to disguise the deafening sounds so that it's less frightening for your pet.
Your pets are like your children. You want to ensure their safety and comfort. By taking a few minutes to review the tips above, you can help your beloved fur baby remain calm and endure the July 4th celebration without causing too much stress on them!

Soulmate or Settling? – 5WAYS to finding your truth in Love,Relationships& Romance.
With Valentine's Day right around the corner, you may be questioning your status. You find yourself in a relationship. Perhaps you’re married, and it’s just…ok. It’s lost its excitement and passion. You reconcile yourself to believing that this is what love is about. This is marriage. Have you asked yourself if you’ve you found your soulmate or simply settled?
I see many clients who remain in a marriage either because its’ comfortable or there’s children or just a sense of “this is the best it’s going to get” but I feel just the opposite. People have lost the courage to take chances, to be on their own. To stick to Plan A. Instead, they settle for Plan B. They are unable to trust that life is about change and evolution. Instead of allowing ourselves the process of expansion and growth, we tend to stay the same. That’s because it feels safer to us. As we grow older, the idea of change becomes so fearful. Therefore, the idea of leaving our mate to venture alone into the world seems impossible.
Let’s talk about your relationship. You know the person. You are used to them. They aren’t so bad really. They may be a good provider, or they are certainly reliable, but do they listen to you? Are they interested in where you are going in life? Or do you find yourself feeling trapped? If you have children, it could even be harder because we are programmed as a society to sacrifice for the sake of our children. But, doesn’t that teach our kids to do the same? Is that what you want for your children? For them to be in a relationship that doesn’t completely fulfill? What would you tell them? “Oh, that’s how it goes. That’s normal”. Does it feel normal to you?
What about intimacy? Does it feel organic? Orgasmic? I believe in true love. I believe in soulmates. I also feel that we can have more than one soulmate. So perhaps, we have one to take us through one phase of our life and then as we transition, our soulmate transitions. Therefore, we need to allow for the universe to pull in a new one. There are those who remain completely content and happy with one person their entire life. This is to be applauded, not because they managed to “stick” it out together, but because they knew it was the right partnership for them. This is how the universe works! It’s doesn’t have to be the same for everyone, but it does have to be authentic and genuine to you!
So, let’s get to the GOOD part! Let’s help you with finding your truth in Love, Relationships & Romance!
Look at yourself in the mirror? How do you feel? What do you see? Do you look back at yourself and feel a sense of pride and acceptance for who you are? Or do you see slumped shoulders, an aging body and a tendency to focus on your perceived flaws? Or do you mindlessly look at yourself? Almost numb to the discovery of you? You have to become genuine, authentic and truthful with yourself. It’s so important to look at yourself with love and acceptance. That’s your first step. Understand that your body is working for you! You start with celebrating you. If you are finding that concept much too hard to accept than it could very well be that you are afraid to see the truth of what’s inside. That maybe who is on the inside is not what you are seeing in the mirror, or it’s not feeling like who you want it to be.
Let’s assume you are in a relationship. When you go to bed at night (or when you wake up in the morning) do you look at your partner and think “I’m really lucky to have this person next to me?” or do you feel guilty that you should feel that way but don’t? Finding your truth in love, relationships and romance means being able to speak the truth to yourself. If you don’t look at that partner and feel a sense of gratitude and excitement, then you have to ask yourself “WHY?” At some point you did, right? And if not, then well, we really need to take a look at this! But at what point did it start to taper off? Was it when the intense working began? The children came? The intimacy stopped? Try to pinpoint the timing of when that feeling started to slip away and then ask yourself what was going on during that time? Sometimes, it’s about refocusing, remembering and asking yourself if the feelings are still there, but buried. Or have the feelings drifted away and it’s time for a dose of honesty?
Is the family stepping in? Do you find yourself staying and settling because you’re afraid of divorce or afraid of what your family would say? I have a friend that said her mom told her that she had a man who was a “good provider and didn’t abuse her” so of course it’s a good marriage. Is that what constitutes a good marriage these days? Her mom was obviously dealing with her own fears and beliefs and was projecting them onto her daughter (my friend). Here’s what’s important to remember…this is YOUR life! If you have that nagging feeling that “it has to be better than this” you are RIGHT!
I have so many clients that want to know when their Mr. /Ms. RIGHT is coming along! But when I tap in, its years away and it’s because I’m being told that they aren’t putting themselves out there! You have to make yourself available! I don’t believe that you find love when you aren’t looking. You find love when your heart is OPEN! So open your heart. You can’t hate online dating, hate bars, hate flirting and then wonder why you haven’t met someone! Or the opposite, you feel you’ve been putting yourself out there, but just aren’t connecting with anyone.
Life is about ACTION! You have to hold yourself responsible for your own happiness. You can’t blame your spouse (or lack thereof) or your family. You are the master of your life. Blaming others won’t help you achieve happiness or fulfillment. Only ACTION will. You have to ask yourself what you want and then take the steps towards achieving that. Playing the victim or using every set back as a sign you are failing isn’t the way to make change. Of course there are set-backs, that’s called life. But when you allow those set-backs to throw you completely off course then you are telling the universe that you aren’t ready and they will respond in kind. Like attracts Like. The more positive energy you can focus into your life the more you will see luck, gratitude and opportunity come forward to you!

New Year. New Boundaries. These 7 tips on setting boundaries can get you the life you want.
As this year is coming to a close and a new one begins, now is the perfect time to take stock of your life. Take a look at where you fall on your happiness scale. Are you feeling absolute joy? Contentment? Or do you find yourself settling? Now is the time to set your boundaries. Start the new year fresh by letting go of what no longer serves you. Setting boundaries can change your life.
Here are 7 tips to help you set boundaries that can get you the life you want.
Reflection:Review your past year. Take a look at your relationships.
Are you feeling fulfilled in them? What about your own boundaries? Do you sometimes feel that you’re an easy “doormat” and yet, you can’t seem to find a way to give up on people?
Allow yourself permission to take a look at whether or not someone is bringing joy to your life or are they adding stress?
We can find ourselves staying in situations long after we know it’s over. We know it’s not healthy. Why? Why do we stay? Perhaps it has to do with not giving up on someone, or wanting to look at “their” side of a situation, a belief that “this is the best it’s going to get” or a fear of change.
Set a boundary that works for YOU! Listening to the advice of a friend or family member can lead you in the wrong direction because they will be working from their perception. It’s important for you to work from your personal perception. Take the time to connect with yourself to see what FEELS right to you. If it doesn’t FEEL right, that is a boundary. If it DOES feel right, then you know you want to work in that direction. Be your own compass.
Set your Boundaries:Now make a list of your new boundaries.
Start with creating a list. Look at all of the areas in your life. Love, Relationships, Career, Finance, and Health. Ask yourself in each of those areas do you feel fulfilled? Do you feel a sense of joy? If the answer is NO, then focus on that area. Write down what you are feeling. Then write down what you do want. Find a way to simply phrase what you desire. That is part of your list!
Uphold your Boundaries:Stand strong for what you want.
Having the courage to set boundaries and the discipline to uphold them can be difficult.
It’s important to implement boundaries into your life as it tells the universe what you feel is your “self-worth”. In order to attract from the universe what you truly want, you must be specific in telling the universe what that is for you. So many people leave it up to the universe to guess for them! Do you part of the work and allow the energy of that to respond to you.
Are you the type of person who is constantly giving someone 2nd chances, or bending the rules or pretending something didn’t happen? Does that make you feel good? Do you feel loved? If yes, then keep doing it! If the answer is no, then release the need to keep giving. By being honest with yourself, you can change the types of people, situations and energy your draw in. The more you can honor your boundaries, the more joy you can bring into your life.
Apply Boundaries to all areas: Love, Work, Health, Money, Relationships.
Boundaries can apply to any aspect of your life. If you’re feeling underappreciated at work. Look at what you’re volunteering to take on. Do you say NO to new projects? Or do you continuously take on extra tasks because you’re afraid of upsetting the boss? Using the word NO can become your new best friend. There’s nothing wrong with telling someone that it doesn’t feel good to you. If that upsets them or you lose friends, trust that it’s the universe’s way of guiding you to what is in the best interest of your highest self.
Be sure to look at the areas of your life. Let’s say it’s Love. You’ve been seeing someone, yet it’s not going where you want it to go. You say to yourself “oh, they just need more time” or “they’ll come around”. The co-dependent might say “if I just love them enough”.
But stop for a moment, ask yourself this. How do YOU feel? Are YOU ready for a commitment? Yet this person isn’t responding? Then you have to tell the universe, that you want a commitment. The universe will either respond with having him have a change of heart or removing this person from your life. Either way, the universe will set you up to bring what you’re asking from it.
Be Gentle with Yourself:It’s a learning process
If you’re a people pleaser or a nurturer then being firm in your boundaries can be especially difficult for you. You have a tendency and desire to appease everybody. You may put your spouse and children first and then there’s nothing left in the tank for you. Time to change that. And know, that you may not get it right the first time. You may find yourself slipping into old habits even AFTER you set those boundaries, but be gentle. It takes time to recondition yourself.
Listen to your Inner Compass: Surrender and let it guide you!
Once you focus on listening to your inner compass and following that, you will find a sense of authenticity because you will no longer have to “fake” it in a conversation or relationship. The people you start to attract into your life will naturally have the same core belief system. As we change, our circle changes as well. As a friend once said “maybe you just haven’t found your tribe yet”. So put yourself out there! Your true and authentic self, and then see who is in your tribe.
Be Honest:Honesty really is the best policy!
Being honest with ourselves and others can sometimes be a challenge. We don’t want to upset someone, or hurt their feelings so we decide to settle. Keep our mouths shut. But then, you are doing a disservice to yourself. You are not being authentic to YOU. Why must you always be on the back burner? It’s time to be honest and those who are meant to be in your life will still be there with you.
Listening to your inner self and setting boundaries can be risky. If you honor your boundaries, you will create change. That’s how it works. So you must be open and ready for change. If you are to draw into your life what you truly desire, this is the way to do it. There may be some bumpy roads as people don’t like change. You may even find yourself separating from friends, jobs and relationships. However, if you are being honest in your quest, you will find a sense of peace, joy and respect for yourself that makes it all worth it!

As a psychic, medium or healer you are in an industry that uses energy and uses your body as a vessel to source that energy, it’s imperative that you take care of yourself to become a healthy psychic!
I once had a teacher mention that mediums tend to live shorter lives because of the demand of energy on their physical body. I also read and article recently by Dr. Mark Hyman that indicated a deficiency in magnesium makes you twice a likely to die in comparison to its counterparts. This news is shocking and really struck a chord with me. I have always been very healthy and fitness has always been a priority for me, but I have also seen how this line of work can have an impact on my physical being.
Since the age of sixteen I have been involved in the fitness industry and the routine of eating healthy and working out has become second nature to me. Although, my workouts have changed over the years, they have never gone away.
At one point in my career, I was a professional fitness model and had the opportunity to be in such magazines as Ironman, Pump, Muscle and Fitness and more! I want share my experience in an effort to help you become the most healthy psychic medium and healer you can be!
Here are 5 tips to help you become a healthy psychic!
Get Moving!
You have to MOVE your body! If you see clients all day, you are sitting in a chair and remain stationary for far too long. Your body was not designed to be in a sedentary position for this long. So you have to move! Go for a walk between clients. Take a yoga class or join a gym. I know you might say that you don’t have the time, but you must make the time. Schedule it in the same as you would a client. This will help you keep your commitment to yourself and stay on track!
Exercise is proven to help you control your weight, increase your energy and stabilize your mood.
All of which are golden benefits for someone who works with energy on a daily basis. In addition, honoring this time to take care of yourself will help you feel more relaxed and allow you to release any energy that you may be holding on to.
Be Consistent!
Being consistent is really the key! There are so many times that I say “I don’t have time”. If you are building a business or growing a family, time can be extremely limited. However, even if you don’t have the time you desire, you can still make room for yourself. Even if you take just 1 hour a day and do that twice a week, you are going to reap some benefits from it!
But, it’s about being consistent. You can’t go twice a week and then skip three weeks and expect your body to respond positively.
Honor your body; it’s your working tool. It’s YOUR vessel!
Back away from the Chocolate!
I can tell you firsthand that since I’ve been doing this work professionally, my craving for chocolate has increased! Sometimes I just crave that sugar in the worse way!
Take a moment to look beyond the sugar, what is it about chocolate that your body needs? Find the source of the problem instead of feeding the symptom!
Craving chocolate could be an indicator that your body is deficient in magnesium. Although this is not always the case, it may be worth looking at the side effects to see if this may be the case for you! If so, then find a more beneficial source of magnesium like nuts, seeds or leafy green vegetables.
Have you checked your blood? Chocolate raises your blood sugar level. Readings can be emotionally and psychologically draining. This is natural as it can relate to the energy of your client, spirit and your own body.
When you are in a session, you raise your vibration to connect. It only makes senses that after your session your vibration lowers. Perhaps, there is a direct link from your vibration to your energy levels. Your body is a natural responder so it would make perfect sense that your blood sugar levels may also fluctuate before and after your session.
Chocolate also contains caffeine, so your body could be tired and you crave the caffeine to help raise your energy. Additionally, chocolate is addictive and it increases serotonin in your brain. Serotonin affects your feelings, emotions and mood. So if you are dealing with client energy that is lower (as sometimes you meet with clients who are feeling sad, depressed or in mourning) this can have an impact on your own feelings and emotions, especially if you are empathic. Ultimately, you would want to really work on your protection block to help you manage it, but sometimes, client sessions can really take a toll on us.
If you are craving chocolate, you have to take a moment and ask yourself what are you feeling at that moment as to why you are craving chocolate. This will help you understand your body and impulses better to make choices that stabilize your body in a healthier way!
So instead of chocolate, keep a stash of healthy bars and feed your body the proper nutrients it craves!
Limit your Alcohol!
It’s no secret that alcohol contains “empty” calories. It’s even further true that alcohol can actually make you hungrier, thus increasing your appetite causing you to eat more! Either way, you are consuming additional calories that don’t fuel your body and can actually detour your body from absorbing the proper nutrients in food if you are drinking that wine with a meal.
Alcohol lowers your vibration. So when you have spent the day raising your vibration to connect with clients and their loved ones, you may naturally have a desire to lower your vibration. Wine is grounding so that glass of vino might just seem like the perfect solution at the time, but finding other ways to bring you back into this realm might just save your waistline!
Like anything, the key is moderation. I’m not saying that you can’t indulge but understanding the reasons behind the craving can help you find alternate solutions that result in a healthier and more fit YOU!
Sleep More!
As a psychic or medium, you may have difficulty either falling asleep or staying asleep. Since being sensitive to energies, sounds and spirits, you may find yourself awake at the slightest shift in energy.
Giving yourself more time in the sack can actually help you lose weight!
In a study done by the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, they found that someone who was more rested actually had a 5% higher rate of burning calories than those who were tired. Additionally, they also found that those who grabbed some extra Z’s at night burned 20% more calories after a meal over those who burned the midnight oil!
If you do find that you’re not getting enough sleep, than start a little sleep ritual for yourself. Start by preparing for bed earlier. Give yourself extra time to get some extra sleep!
Put the cell phone down, walk away from the computer and allow yourself some time to reconnect with you. Indulge in a warm bath. Studies show that raising your body temperature before bedtime helps to induce sleep. You could even spice it up with Epsom or lavender salts. Try adding magnesium oil mixed with a cup of baking soda in the tub. The Epsom salts combined with the baking soda allow the alkaline-balancing effects to be absorbed through your skin. Chronic fatigue may be symptom of magnesium deficiency. So all around, you could find this bath routine to create a balance that makes you sleep like a baby!
Hopefully, this article has given you some insight and shed light upon ways in which you can become the healthy psychic to allow yourself all the tools you need to not only be a healthy psychic but to be the best psychic medium and healer that you can be! Being a vessel for source means making your health a priority.
As much as you desire to be the healer for others, remember to take care of yourself first!

Part of the myth or stereotype around psychics is that they are too ethereal, “airy fairy” or dressed as a gypsy clinging to their crystal ball. They are commonly found connecting to angels, guides and aliens to clear chakras, curses and spells. You may frequently come across their flyer placed on your windshield or find them on any corner in their shops with neon lit signs promising abundant futures for $5.
SOCIAL MEDIA PSYCHIC-Spirit & Social Media in a Modern World!
Ok, this is a serious exaggeration, but you get the point! How many of you have come across this stereotype?
What about the modern day psychic medium? The social media psychic?
Where does this social media psychic fit in between the stereotypes and skeptics? What if adaption is playing a part in spirit? Many psychics and mediums try to declare that social media is a negatively impacting the spirit world. Many feel that there is only one way to work to show that you are truly working with a spirit connection. However, having a spiritual connection isn’t about tarot cards, crystal balls or pendulums. Those are all fantastic, but they are merely tools of the trade. It’s about your intention, what’s in your heart, your moral compass and working for the highest good. This is what will help create a pure psychic and medium connection and not one based on the need for tools. The same goes for social media. Social media does not create the spiritual connection, it merely expresses it.
Trust that it is OK to try new things even if they don’t follow the traditional rules or stereotypes set forth by those before you. It took the pioneers of spirituality to be rebels in their own way in order to create change in the belief system of society.
Maybe you are meant to redefine those rules too?
For the social media psychic, they are expanding into a new realm. We all understand the concept of evolution. Adaption is required for survival. Perhaps, spirit is adapting to the modern psychic medium so that they can fit in with this social media crazed world to get their message across more effectively?
With social media, like Facebook being one of the greatest inventions for communication since the telephone, there is no reason why spirit wouldn’t want us to connect and communicate in a more mainstream way. It makes a lot of sense really. Posting, liking, and sharing gets the stories, philosophy and messages of spirit out into the world in a quicker, fresher and more massive way. Social media is equivalent to modern transportation. The horse and buggy were great, but adaption and invention of the airplane has made travel more accessible even for the average person to utilize and enjoy.
If the common goal is to have the work with spirit become more mainstream than we have to find a way to fit in better to make it more “normal”. The quickest way to remove the stigma of the corner psychic with the neon lit sign and replace it with the organic and true purpose of spirit work is to embrace the modern world and the social media savvy generations.
Serving spirit is ultimately the objective and being spiritual is about following your heart in a way that makes sense for you and works for the highest good of those you come in contact with and if that requires a tweet, then so be it!
Release the perception people will have of you. Work from a place that you feel is pure, even if it’s not in sync with how others around you are doing it because those who are meant to receive your gift will come to you. Spirit already has that in place. Don’t be afraid to be relevant. In no way does it diminish your gifts or your connection.
And by all means, if you feel inspired to tweet, post or connect, then allow spirit to work with you that way! Go and be the best Social Media Psychic and know that you are serving spirit in your quest!

Do you have that little voice inside your head that keeps telling you that you are meant for something “more”? Perhaps you have been struggling with finding your true path or purpose? It can happen to all of us.
We get into a daily routine and we convince ourselves that we are stuck. We tell ourselves that there is no way out and we must surrender to the “man” and the “9-5”. Or perhaps, you’ve been working on building your own business and career, but just can’t seem to find that one gem that takes you to the next level?
These 5 KEYS TO UNLOCKING YOUR TRUE POTENTIAL will help you move past your blocks and belief systems so that you can attain everything you’ve ever imagined!
IMAGINATION:
It all starts with your imagination. As we get older we lose spending time in our imagination. Reality sets in and we don’t allow ourselves to dream as much as we did as a kid. We’ve got work, responsibilities and deadlines. Remember when you were a little kid just “playing”? Have you ever baked a cake with mud? This kind of imagination and creativity reminds your subconscious that ANYTHING is possible!
This is the mindset needed to unlock your deepest and purest potential.
If you can imagine your success, truly see it in your mind’s eye then you can attain it. You would be surprised at the amount of ideas that come flooding in when you allow yourself to be creative! So grab some paper and crayons and become that childhood artist again, go outside and play in the dirt, or put some music on and dance like no one is watching!
MEDITATION:
You may hear the word meditation and want to run for the hills, but wait! Give it a chance. Meditation does not necessarily mean that you have to sit in a Buddha-like position humming to chants. It could be as simple as gardening, going for a walk or taking time to sit on the beach or in a park. Mediation is basically some quiet time to sit with your thoughts and then ask for guidance.
Trust that your higher self already has the answers you seek.
Listen to that voice and allow it to guide you. We all have it, but sometimes we dismiss it because it can trigger fear or worry. So many times we take ourselves out of the game before picking our playing piece.
WORTHINESS:
Knowing and trusting that you have something to offer to the world with just your awesomeness makes all the difference. We may tell ourselves, “I’m not special” or everyone is doing this idea already, “I don’t have a chance”. Of course you have a chance! In fact, you have the ability to create and manifest your opportunities and success. However, if you don’t believe you are worthy and that it’s for “somebody else” then the universe will agree with you. For you create your reality.
Remember that you are unique.
There is only one of you. You are a gift to the world and when you can embrace yourself with love and care, you will find that you have the greatest impact and attract the energy of those who can resonate from your message.
FEARLESSNESS:
It’s impossible to live without fear. At some point, we have all experienced fear in one form or another, so having some level of fear is perfectly normal. It’s NOT allowing the fear to STOP you that is the key to unlocking your true potential. There’s a saying “always do what makes you most afraid”. This is a powerful affirmation. It will remind you to never let fear paralyze you.
Keep taking that leap of faith and push yourself forward.
Through embracing the concept of fear and turning it into excitement, you can push your own boundaries and limitations. This will result in doing more, achieving more and expanding beyond any belief systems you previously held. When faced with fear, you have to ask yourself “do I truly believe this or is this something I was told by someone else or taught as a kid”? Holding on to someone else’s belief systems will only generate blocks within you. Take the time to find out your true belief systems. If you learn that some of them reside in fear, doubt or worry, then ask your higher self to help you release them. Give yourself permission to move past the fear and into the future.
PERSEVERANCE:
Of course you will have set backs. You may even consider some of your decisions as failures. Again, this is NORMAL. You just have to learn from them and never QUIT. If at some point, where you are going no longer feels right to you, then give yourself permission to release it. Until then, keep going. So many successful geniuses of our times had plenty of perceived failures, but they didn’t let it thwart their desire to keep going. You got to have that inner fighter that doesn’t allow you to quit.
Get “scrappy”.
Having support around you is essential to helping you stay motivated when you are feeling down. So surround yourself with friends and family that support your plight and keep them close. When you are feeling down or need encouragement, talk to them, allow their love and support to help you push through.
Those are the 5 KEYS TO UNLOCKING YOUR TRUE POTENTIAL. Feel free to share them, print them and keep them handy so that you can refer back when you need that little extra boost to help keep you on track.
It’s truly up to you to now.
Embrace and love yourself. Your uniqueness is your power. By incorporating the above 5 keys into your own life, you will see a shift in the energy you put out into the world helping you reach your fullest potential.

5Ways your loved ones in spirit are COMMUNICATING with you!
Do you ask for signs and symbols from your loved ones in spirit, yet feel they do not hear your pleas? Maybe you just want a little validation on what you are getting?
Do you have trouble easily recognizing those signs from loved ones in spirit? Are you second guessing what you get?
Below are 5 tips that help you understand how your loved ones in spirit are connecting with you!
THEY PLAY MUSIC
Spirit just loves MUSIC! Have you noticed a song randomly playing on your radio? Maybe even a song that was popular years ago, you haven’t heard it in a while? Then suddenly! It pops up on the radio! Perhaps, someone mentions a song, or a phrase? This is SPIRIT telling you YES! It’s ME! I’m here!
The song could have so many messages behind it. Maybe your loved one is saying “yes, I’m still here” or “let’s dance” or “remember this one?” Usually, you will connect with the song and the memory associated with that loved one immediately!
Trust your instincts! They are trying to TALK to YOU!
THEY USE SIGNS & SYMBOLS
Remember, spirit doesn’t always have the ability to talk to you directly as they had in the physical world, so they use a secondary form of communication. Signs and Symbols.
As a SECONDARY form of communication, loved ones in spirit may use signs & symbols to let you know they are around! Have you seen a butterfly fluttering around? Or perhaps a hummingbird? Bluejay? What about a flower? Rose? Penny!
It’s amazing the great lengths spirit will go to so that you can rest assure that they are with you! And if your loved one was the persuasive type, you can rest assured you will see these signs over and over! What signs have you noticed?
YOUR STUFF MOVES!
Don’t you just hate it when you can’t find your darn keys? I mean, you just had them a minute ago! You KNOW you put them on the counter! If I could tell you the amount of times spirit has moved keys on a client! It always makes me laugh because it’s just such a sign that spirit is around the person and they are playing pranks! I mean, to me this is great because it lets us know that spirit has a sense of HUMOR!
So the next time your keys go missing or maybe you can’t find the other slipper…don’t get frustrated. Just stop…laugh and say “oh, dad (or your loved ones in spirit)…really?”
IN YOUR DREAMS
Dream On….have you ever had a very vivid dream of a loved one in spirit, woke up and remembered every detail? Do you still remember as if it was yesterday? This is was an actual VISIT from a loved one in spirit! See…we our most vulnerable when we drift off to sleep. Our guard is down; our conscience mind is taking a rest…that’s when spirit sees their opportunity to visit you without you logically justifying it as a coincidence. They come and may just show you they are OK or that they LOVE your or come forward with an apology.
Each spirit that visits has a personal reason and message for the loved one they are choosing to drop in on in ZZZZZ…land!
So take the opportunity to WRITE down those DREAMS! Reflect on them, remember them and TRUST that your loved one is truly coming by for a friendly visit!
YOU FEEL CHILLS
Have you been somewhere and then just felt a breeze come by you for no reason at all? You know the air isn’t on, it’s not windy outside and you certainly know you did not imagine it, yet what could it be? There’s a strong chance this is SPIRIT! For me personally, I always get super cold right when spirit comes in, then I get very warm as they start to use my body for communication. At first it was a weird experience, let me tell you, but without a doubt, I can always tell by temperature when spirit is around!
Even if you don’t necessarily get “cold” or the “chills” you may experience just a “feeling” of a shift in energy. Maybe your heart start to beat faster or the hair on your arms stands up! Regardless of how, you are experiencing the ENERGY of spirit! I find it phenomenal that they have the ability to make us FEEL their presence!
Again, their dedication to ensuring and proving to us they are still very much among us!
*BONUS TIP!
FLASHES OF LIGHT!
Have you been in a room in which the light suddenly flickers? Or the light abruptly turns on? And you KNOW that lightbulb was BURNT out?!
Spirit just LOVES energy! That’s exactly what they are made up from so it’s easy for them to use it as a tool to communicate! I had a client that I told her in a reading that her dad was turning on the light to let her know he’s around. She responded with “the light in the bathroom turned on the other day and it had been completely broken, literally. It came on. It was his birthday that day.” So props to dad for giving his daughter such a clear and undeniable sign!
The above tips are just some ways that your loved ones may be trying to communicate with you! When you get that “feeling” or “thought” that they just popped into your mind, TRUST this is your loved one taking a moment to use their energy to manifest a PHYSICAL ENERGY to let you know they are around you!
That to me is such an amazing sign of LOVE from beyond! Know your loved ones are just a sign or symbol away!

Are you interested in getting a psychic reading, but unsure of the process? Or have you had a reading and felt that it was vague?
Here are 10 tips to help you understand and ensure you get the BEST Psychic Reading possible!
-Colby, Psychic Rebel
CHOOSEthe right Psychic.
This doesn’t always mean the most popular psychic.
This doesn’t mean the one most readily available.
It means, finding the person for YOU!
Read their website. Find out who they are and see if you feel drawn to them. This will be your first indicator that your energy works well together! Having the right chemistry is so important to any reading. It’s something that isn’t talked about enough, but look at is an energy date!
You want someone you feel comfortable with and that you feel a sense of trust, I mean they are going to get into your personal energy-you want to only invite those who feel right in your gut! This is essential to your psychic reading session!
Find someone with a solid REPUTATION.
Any reputable psychic should have reviews and/or testimonials. You can look on Yelp, or their website or even Google can work magic and search psychic reading!
Make sure that the reviews are relevant to the session you are getting.
You don’t want to choose a Psychic based on their Reiki session testimonials. You want it based on their Psychic readings. Make sure the reviews are relevant to their psychic readings and that they are current. Something from 5 years ago simply isn’t relevant.
Give yourself TIME.
When you are in a panic and feel that you need a reading immediately, chances are, you are going to sacrifice quality.
Having the space and time to research the right person will pay off in the reading!
When you feel emotionally panicked and just go for the first available appointment, you are settling for the best possible experience. Unless you find a reputable site that offers certified and tested psychics.
Most working psychics who have a solid reputation and client base are frequently booked in advance. Now, some may have a same day but, honestly, it’s rare. Give yourself TIME. Personally, I don’t even do same day readings!
Be OPEN.
Listen, I know you want to test the Psychic,
You want to make sure they are legit and real.
That they just “know” things about you, but when you are coming from a mindset of “testing” the psychic- you are being CLOSED energetically speaking.
Psychics read your aura, your energy. They connect to you on a SOUL level. If you are closed, they will have difficulty reading you. Even the best. Ones. Trust me. If you did your research as previously stated you will already know that your Psychic is the real deal. So go in OPEN. I mean, would you go to the doctor and say to the Dr. “I’m not telling you my symptoms, you should know”? The whole mentality of not saying anything doesn’t make much sense to me personally. I mean, I’m going to tap in and tell you things there’s no way I could know, so let’s work as a team to get the information and the answers you need. You’re paying for the time. It’s your time.
Don’t waste time being closed to the process in your psychic reading!
Find someone who allows you to RECORD the session!
Proof is in the pudding! Only work with a Psychic who will let you record your session!
Sometimes, something may not make sense in the reading, BUT will make sense LATER or in the FUTURE. So if you record it, you have an opportunity to listen to it later!
If someone doesn’t let you record, you have to wonder why? Are they hiding something? There are some psychics that will actually record the session for you! However, with the technology of smart phones, I let the client record, it’s quicker and easier for the client to get their psychic reading immediately and in the most practical manner.
Don’t PAY for a CLEANSING.
If you've gone in for a psychic reading and find someone is trying to lure you into a cleansing, chakra balancing or curse lifter or anything along those lines, just avoid it! A reputable Psychic is NOT going to try and sell you additional services. They may offer sessions involving life coaching, mediumship, or training, but they aren’t going to tell you that something is wrong with you and you need another service to “fix” it.
Don’t fixate on a specific OUTCOME.
When you fixate on a specific outcome or answer, you are avoiding what Spirit wants you to know. Sometimes you may hear something in a NEW way or that quite frankly, may not make sense to you in that moment, but when you are free with the understanding that the intention was set for your “highest” good, then you can allow yourself to surrender to the experience.
Find a psychic who allows QUESTIONS!
I’ve had readings where the psychic won’t let you interject or ask questions. I’m like What???? I mean, I get they want to give you what they are getting, which is great, BUT you purchased the session. This is YOUR time and you have a RIGHT to ask questions.
But, don’t interrogate the psychic! Honor that they are gifted and professional and trust them!
WRITE your questions down!
Before your psychic reading session, take the time to write down the things that inspired you to make the appointment in the first place!
This will help you set your INTENTION for the psychic reading!
You shouldn’t have to give this list of questions to your psychic, but have them handy, and when the psychic allows you to ask questions, you can pull out your list to ensure they were all answered.
Don’t punish yourself if you experience PSYCHIC AMNESIA!
Psychic Amnesia is when the psychic makes a statement, and follows with a question, and you FREEZE! Like “I am hearing the name Martha…and you are like…I don’t know a Martha” then when you leave the session you remember Martha is your Mothers name’! LOL! TRUST ME this has happened! But, treat yourself with love and kindness.
This is why a recording is important You can play back your psychic reading later to catch anything you might have missed!
I do hope these tips help you find the most amazing Psychic for you! If you have read this full article, you are committed to finding that right person so give yourself a pat on the back!

FIVE REASONS why choosing a certified spiritual advisor can make for a better reading experience!
Do you find yourself interested in a psychic or medium reading, but not sure where to start? There seems to be so many options these days for intuitive spiritual advisors that it can make it overwhelming and difficult to choose the right one for you! Well, consider starting with a spiritual advisor that is CERTIFIED.
There are many spiritual certification programs available these days and there always seems to be controversy around whether or not a certification in spiritual work means that the practitioner is better. Although, the certification itself may not indicate that that the spirtual advisor is a better, psychic or medium, it does reflect a few other qualities that may just be an indicator that they are the cream of the crop!
1. TESTED
Certified psychics and mediums have gone through TESTING.
This can sometimes be done under rigorous, demanding and stressful conditions. Testing shows that the reader can work under pressure, they can make a connection under stress, and deliver the information they receive accurately. Some testing may even be done under a blind reading. This could mean literally blindfolding the spiritual advisor within a class setting or a blind phone call in which the psychic and/or medium is not given any information about the client and must make a connection.
In most circumstances, the recipient of these readings must provide feedback for the reader and the quality of the session. Was it accurate? Do you feel as if they connected? Were you able to relate to the information given? All of these greatly increases your chances for a successful reading as you know your chosen psychic medium as proven their ability to connect and do so even under pressure
2. DEDICATED
Certification requires DEDICATION.
It shows that your spiritual advisor is dedicated and committed to their spiritual path and has a desire to continue learning and growing within their spiritual capabilities and connections. There is sometimes an argument that if you’re born a psychic or a medium you don’t need to “practice” or get “certified” because your connection is “pure”. Committing to a certification program in no way indicates that your psychic or medium doesn’t already have a “pure” channel. It’s simply saying…”Ok, my level is here, but where else can I take it? Where can I go and grow with spirit?”
Can you name any great athlete that didn’t practice their sport? We all can agree that Michael Jordan was a prodigy of basketball. Tiger Woods a prodigy of golf and Michael Phelps of swimming. Do you think each of them woke up and said, “I’m so naturally gifted that I don’t need to practice today?” Of course, not!
3. DISCIPLINED
Certification requires DISCIPLINE.
This means your spiritual advisor was required to be accountable. They had a schedule that they adhered to, they committed to a level of hours involved. They showed up and represented their industry, spirit and the client. There are some classes that will lock you out if you are late! International Psychic phenomenon Lisa Williams is notoriously known for locking the door at the start of the class and if someone is late, they don’t get in!
This teaches students to be ON TIME for their client! To respect and honor their clients’ time. Certifications help show that the psychic and/or medium are accountable for their actions.
4. PROFESSIONAL
Psychics and Mediums that are certified spiritual advisors are taught to be PROFESSIONAL.
If they are going to hold a certification under a person or company name, you can pretty much guarantee that they are required to maintain a certain level of professionalism and etiquette within their business. They are taught to be on time for client calls, to not readily cancel an appointment, to give messages with compassion and empathy and to raise the bar within the industry.
5. HIGHER STANDARD
Certified psychics and mediums are held to a higher STANDARD.
Usually, with a good certification program the members must agree to certain ethics, policies and rules. They must agree to uphold the standards set forth by the holder of the certification. This is important because it benefits YOU-the client! It’s done to protect the client so that they can trust their spiritual advisor in that session.
A license or certification sets your psychic medium apart from the pack. They are telling the world that they are tested, committed, dedicated, accountable and professional. These are the people that were willing to spend their time, money and effort into showing the community that they are serious and committed to their gift.
Now, not all certifications are equal. If you are looking for a professional reader, check out their certifications. Know where they studied or the name associated with the certification to make sure it’s of a caliber that is respected within the industry. Like any business, a certification doesn’t make someone a “good” psychic or medium and it’s not to say that there are not “good” readers who are not certified, but at the very minimum it serves as a barometer. A little research for a certified spiritual advisor is a nice starting point to finding the right person who fits your needs and objectives for a successful reading!
