Do my departed loved ones come around more often during the holidays?

by Leave a Comment

 

During the holidays when families gather together, its natural to think about our loved ones who are no longer here with us. Do you ever wonder if they come around to visit more often during the holidays?

The answer is of course they do and … it depends.  

What were the holidays like at your house?

Did you all gather together at grandma’s house every year? Did you have special holiday traditions and experiences together you’re always reminded of during this season? 

If this time of year was really special and celebrated by those who’ve now crossed over, you can rest assured it still is a special time for them. They likely do visit more often during the holiday season, reminiscing about the time you all shared together, just like you are.

Also, it’s often your thoughts that bring their Spirit to you, so if you find yourself thinking about lost loved ones more during the holiday season, they will be around more.

Keep your eyes peeled for magic and signs all around you, as Spirit abounds during this season!

On the other hand, if your family didn’t spend much time together during the holiday season, or especially if it became a time of strife or bad memories, then spirits will likely not be around (any more than usual) during this season.

Are Spirits always around us?

Though Spirits want to support us as much as they can from the Other Side, they aren’t around us 24/7. Think of them off enjoying the grand adventures that Spiritland has to offer!

They do come to our side when we need them though, during times of challenge or struggle, when we need emotional, mental and spiritual support.

You can reach out to them at any time simply by thinking of them. Know that if you are missing them, they are missing you.

Want to communicate with your lost loved ones this holiday season?

If you’re thinking of your loved ones during the holidays, this is the perfect time to reach out to them in Spirit. I recommend booking a mediumship session where I act as a bridge to communicate messages from your loved ones. If you’re wanting to communicate with them, this is a very special way to do so. Please get in touch with any questions or to schedule a reading for yourself.  

 

5 Tips For Managing Psychic Burnout

by Leave a Comment

It seems awareness is growing around the fact that some people are ultra-sensitive to energy in their surroundings, both from the environment and other people. 

Psychics certainly place themselves in this group, as once you start to open up your sixth senses and intuitive awareness, it makes you much more open to receiving and sensing the energy of sentient beings everywhere!  

This sensitivity is certainly an asset when it comes to psychic work, and is safe when you’re in a controlled environment. But out in the big wide world, it can become cumbersome and overwhelming to be so “open” all the time, and if you aren’t using the tools you have to ground, release and protect your energy, it can be easy to become over-stimulated and short-circuit.

So, here are some ways that I personally rely on to manage psychic burnout:

 

Managing psychic burnout tip #1:  Keep the nervous system calm and relaxed           

This is the most important key, really, as our nervous system is the storehouse for all the energy we receive. When we take on any energy from our external environment, it’s important to have practices and tools to rely on that help you come back to center, de-stress and find a place of calm. Meditation, slow movement like tai-chi or hatha yoga, a relaxing bath, breathing exercises- these are some simple ways to settle your nervous system down and return to a state of calm energy. 

Managing psychic burnout tip #2:  Drink lots of water (always)

 I can’t stress the importance enough of drinking water, not just for its health purposes, but also because of its ability to shift, carry and transmute energy! Drinking water flushes out residual build up in your system, including energetic residue that you’ve collected from the environment. Water is also a great way to ground yourself as it’s direct from the Earth! The first place always to start, if you’re feeling a little off, overwhelmed, anxious, etc- drink more water.

Managing psychic burnout tip #3:  Focus on good nutrition and stay away from sugars  

If you feel sensitive to the environment around you, just imagine how sensitive your inner environment is! Good nutrition that lessens (or eliminates!) sugars and processed foods is so valuable for our overall health, but also to support our nervous system’s ability to return to homeostasis and encourage the release of built-up toxins that can impede and inhibit our natural senses and abilities. Treat your body like the vessel for wisdom and Spirit that it is!  

Managing psychic burnout tip #4:  Showers help remove energetic residue

 Water is so good at helping manage psychic burnout, we had to mention it twice! Not only do you need to drink lots and lots of it, but bathing in it, especially under moving water like a shower (or waterfall if you’re lucky enough!) can actually wash away the energetic residue you’ve built up. Water is a receptive energy, it has intelligence, a Spirit- as you shower you can ask the water to help you remove any psychic debris or energy that does not belong to you.

Managing psychic burnout tip #5:  Ground yourself especially if you’re feeling flighty

When we’re in our psychic awareness, we are energetically lifted up into our third eye and crown chakras to access the information. That can become hard when we need to come back to Earth and get the bills paid. If you’re at all psychically sensitive, it’s important to incorporate grounding practices into your daily routine. These can help especially when you’re feeling flighty or scatterbrained. Check out this post to learn easy ways to ground yourself, as well as more info as to why grounding is so important in helping manage psychic burnout!

Are you extra sensitive? You could have psychic awareness


We all have intuitive abilities, it just takes awakening them and then dedicating ourselves to the practice of using them. If you feel you’re extra sensitive, please use these tips to avoid burnout, and know that you may very well be psychically inclined.

I love to work with people to help you open up and develop your own intuitive abilities– if you’re interested in learning more about my intuitive coaching or other psychic services, please get in touch!

How Much Should I Pay for a Psychic Reading?

by Leave a Comment

When you’re searching around for a psychic reading, you may come across a wide range of prices. If you search online, you’ll find anything from $5 tarot readings to $1000 one-on-one psychic mediumship sessions, and everywhere in between.

So, the first question to ask when you’re wondering how much you should expect to pay for a psychic reading, is to consider what type of reading you’re looking for.

A Quickie Question

Do you have just one quick question? Want a sort of “sample” reading to make sure you have a good rapport with the psychic first? 

Some psychics, especially beginners, offer inexpensive, short readings in order to gain experience and prove their skills to you. There are also psychic hotlines and apps that offer per minute pricing and inexpensive specials. 

These types of readings may be able to give you a tiny taste of insight for $5-20, but remember- you get what you pay for.

You can’t gain much knowledge into your situation or how to improve in such a short time, and the hotlines and types of services offering this pricing model are usually doing it to entice you to buy higher end/more expensive things down the line.

If you really have one quick question or want a sample reading to see what your energy is like together, this could be an option- otherwise, I’d suggest avoiding these types of cheap readings altogether.

How Much Should I Pay For A Fortune Telling Reading

If you walk into a psychic or metaphysical shop with a tarot reader on hand offering readings, or are looking around locally for readers who offer in-person readings or ones done over Skype, you’ll usually find these in the range of $30-$50/30 min or $60-$100/1 hour.

Occasionally, these types of readings are also offered on a sliding scale, allowing you to pay based on the amount of money you feel you can spend.

These types of readings are common in the business and can offer insight into your past, present and future. (They often portray that you have a fixed future, which I don’t believe to be true. In fact, you create your future with each choice you make.)

These can also be considered readings for “entertainment” purposes, more than the truly life-altering advice you might receive with a deeper reading.

How Much Should I Pay For A Professional Psychic Life Reading

When you see a professional psychic reader who has been honing their craft for a long time and has already helped hundreds, even thousands of people, you can expect to pay for their experience and expertise.

As the top professional psychic here in the Boston area, my pricing reflects not only my intuitive abilities but also the experience I’ve been honing from working with people over the last 25 years.

 This caliber and style of reading is where you’ll find pricing from $175-$300/hr as a standard, and up, depending on what the service is, and the time and energy it demands.

 These intuitive readings offer a deeper dive into your current obstacles and how to find solutions around them, helping you create real, palpable shifts in your life. These sort of readings are not just “for fun”- they can be a really transformative part of your self-development and growth.

How Much Should I Pay For A Specialized Reading & Intuitive Counseling

Along the same lines as above, there are many professional psychics who venture into specialized areas, such as mediumship. You can sometimes expect to pay more for a specialized service like that, then a general intuitive reading, but not always.

There are also psychics who are more like intuitive life-coaches, offering regular counseling sessions to help you work through larger issues or create new pathways in your life.

This pricing might include a longer-term contract, or a service package, rather than paying for an individual session like above.

 So, first be sure to know what type of reading you’re looking for, to know what sort of pricing to expect.

Do your due diligence to shop around, ask friends, ask reputable metaphysical shops and bookstores in your area to recommend intuitive service providers that might be a good fit for your needs!

How to Manage Your Psychic Sensitivity

by Leave a Comment

All psychics and those with intuitive awareness are what can be considered empaths, or those who are sensitive to perceiving and receiving other people’s energy. 

With this keen sensitivity and sensibility that allows us to read other people’s energy fields, it can become easy to take on too much external energy, which can lead to feeling overstimulated.

Even seemingly simple things like poor nutrition, lack of sleep, or too much noise, can make us feel off balance.

The good news is, there are many ways to prevent and counteract these effects of your psychic sensitivity, that are healthy and easy to incorporate into everyday life! Here are a few tips! 

Grounding is one of the Most Effective ways to Manage your Psychic Sensitivity

It can’t be overstated how important and beneficial grounding is, for everyone really, but especially for those of us with psychic sensitivity.

When you’re open to divine guidance and actively receiving it, all your upper chakras are activated and helping to lift up your energy field and consciousness to receive wisdom from the higher realms.

This can quite literally take your spirit out of your body, and grounding is an important way to get back down to Earth after using your psychic gifts or playing in the astral realms.

Grounding is also the simplest way to quickly de-stress and release any negative or overstimulated energy you may have collected from your thoughts, experiences and interactions throughout the day.

Using grounding techniques is also a great way to help you establish and connect with your own energy field. You can use them to create energetic boundaries before you interact with Spirit, people, or even answer an email, so that you can be sure you’ll be able to respond from centeredness, rather than react from a state of imbalance, in any situation.

Here are 5 easy ways to ground yourself, to help manage your psychic sensitivity:

  • Get your bare feet on the grass, dirt or some piece of the Earth, in order to ground the electricity in your body and connect you back to the support of nature
  • Take a walk out in nature. Breathe. Get your heart rate up. Observe and notice the world around you. Practice presence and staying connected to your breath, and the moment right in front of you.
  • Do a grounding meditation visualizing roots coming from the bottom of your feet, and connecting to the center of the Earth. You can release any stress, anxiety or overstimulation into the ground, through those roots, and also use them to bring that stable Earth energy back up into your body, where you can use it!
  • Take a shower or bath. Wash the dishes by hand. Get into a body of water. Drink more water! Water is both grounding and nurturing, helping to bring you back into balance within yourself and connect with your emotional sensitivity. It can also be conducive to receiving psychic guidance as its a strong conductor of energy.
  • Using tools like grounding crystals and certain essential oils and flower essences can affect your energy field in subtle ways, to ground and protect you psychically and enhance the power you already have within. Do your research to find which tools you’re drawn to!

Is Your House Haunted? Part 3

by Leave a Comment

 

We hope you’re enjoying our series, “How to tell if your house is haunted” Part 1 & Part 2.  We’ve already covered three major ways to tell if your house might be haunted, such as your home is historical and the site of dramatic events, there are sounds or other signs that defy logic or gravity, and you’ve ruled out non-paraormal causes.  Here are two more ways to detect a ghostly presence in your house. 

If your electrical equipment is on the fritz, your house may be haunted.

Often when paranormal energies are around, it takes a summoning of energy for them to be able to connect and interact with us in our Earthly field of consciousness, and that pull of energy can drain your electrical devices! This is one way to know if your house is haunted.

So, if you find your brand new batteries are burning out repeatedly, or the lights are flickering on and off, or the tv turns itself on and off mysteriously… once you rule out the obvious possibilities, as mentioned above, it could definitely be a sign of paranormal interference.

Especially when it’s coupled with other physical signs and evidence of paranormal activity, and your own gut feeling as to whether there is a ghost involved or not.

If your intuition is telling you its a ghost, your house may be haunted.

Your perceptions and feelings cannot be ignored when it comes to determining if there’s actually a haunting going on in your home, as Spirit affects you on an energetic and emotional level first before it can affect the real, physical world.

You’ll often first get “a feeling”. A chill, a hesitance, perhaps a sense of dread or fear when you enter a certain room, or a perceptible shift in energy. The same as how it feels when you walk into a room with someone else in there vs. when you walk into an empty room- you can FEEL it.

You may also start to perceive some thoughts, feelings and words that are not your own that are actually you picking up on energy and messages from the spirit energies around you.

These can all be signs of sense perception that there is a Spirit nearby, so trust your intuitive hits, along with the physical evidence of possible ghostly activity. You need BOTH to really determine if it’s a haunting or not.

But most seemingly spooky occurrences can be ruled out, so do your due diligence in determining whether what you’re experiencing is from the seen, or unseen. And know that in either case, if you remain secure in your own energy and firm in the belief that you are safe and protected, no harm can come to you. 

At this time, due to time constraints, I don’t go out to homes to investigate hauntings. However, I do offer 30 minute readings on buildings and land. If you’d like to book a House Reading, or a personal reading for yourself, CLICK HERE.

Happy Halloween!
