Intuition
Guardian Angels Come In All Shapes And Sizes
In my late 20s, I was working as a make-up artist in a department store located in a busy train station in Germany. The shop was only 700 square feet and had no bathroom. We had to close the shop and go upstairs to a restaurant to use the restroom. I used to work the late shift from 2pm to 10pm. On weekends, there were often rowdy football and soccer fans crossing the station. Fortunately, the local police were always there to channel the masses on to the stadium.
One evening, I had a nagging sense of unease. It was already dark outside when two young men entered the store and one tried to shut the door from the inside, which was always open and supposed to remain open. Something was very wrong. I did not even need to be a psychic to know that something bad was about to happen.
My father passed away a few months before this and the only thing I could think in that moment was, “Dad, please I need help, please!” A few seconds later, an elderly homeless man showed up with two police officers in tow. They immediately arrested the two men. Apparently, they were trying to hide out in my little store after they had committed a robbery elsewhere in the station.
That ragged man was my hero…a guardian angel! He usually sat on the platform to watch the trains come and go. He was homeless, but he was not a beggar. I tried a few times to offer him food or money, but he always declined and said he was fine, he wanted for nothing. After that we greeted each other every day with friendly smile, and that was it.
After the two robbers were arrested, the old man brought me a cup of coffee and my favorite hamburger. Now, it was my turn to ask him, how did he know about my favorite burger. He smiled at me and said I reminded him of one of his favorite former students.
Having Fun With Psychic Psychometry
Psychometry is a fun way to receive psychic information for anyone wanting to explore psychic reading or energy work.
Psychometry, also known as ‘token-object reading,’ is a form of psychic perception where the energy imprint attached to an object or a physical place is read by touching the object, or physically spending time in that place.
Objects and places have an energy field that transfers knowledge regarding its history. The process allows for a wide range of insights to be received from just one object.
Over the years, I have had some wonderful experiences with this psychic reading technique. I’ve been able to identify owners of items that lost them, and even helped get them returned to them. I’ve also been able to assist local law enforcement in cases they were investigating, with information that helped them find answers.
One of my favorite ways to practice psychometry is when browsing around in antique stores, especially in small towns. Most of the store owners in small towns are aware of the history behind the pieces they stock. It is a lot of fun to touch the various items and see what I can sense about their history and former owners. You also get to meet some really nice people!
I’ve also used this energy reading technique in social settings, like parties and psychic fairs. Its a great way to break the ice and get to know people and connect with them.
If you want to try psychometry yourself, borrow some items from friends and neighbors that you know nothing about. That way you will get a more unbiased reading that is not affected by former knowledge you may have about the object. The person who you borrowed it from will then be able to confirm your impressions.
The Psychic Power Of Psychometry
Recently, a young woman phoned me wanting to know how she could best psychically connect with her mom who had recently passed away. We had received some lovely evidence of her mom’s presence during our readings together, but she was hoping to be able to deepen the connection on her own in her daily life.
I already knew that this young woman had psychic abilities that are ‘untapped.’ I advised her to start practicing psychometry as part of her spiritual practice. Holding an item of her late mom in her hands, while she was meditating, will promote psychic communication with her beloved mother.
During this conversation, I had a strong vision of her mom repeatedly pointing to her wrist, and what looked like an armband. I asked her if she had a bracelet that her mom used to wear, in order that she could more easily sense her mom’s energy. She then confirmed that she had kept her mom’s hospital bracelet with her in her handbag.
Perfect for psychometry, I thought. That would literally be the most recent item her mom had been wearing on her person and would most strongly carry her energy imprint.
Psychometry is a wonderful psychic skill to develop. It is a powerful form of psychic reading facilitated by clairtangency, the psychic sense of touch.
A personal experience with psychometry that I will never forget occurred during a psychic development course some years ago at the Arthur Findlay College for spiritualism and psychic science. We were a group of ten students, and I was partnered with a gentleman I had not spoken to before.
The Whispers Of Sentient Animals
Domesticated animals have been a source of comfort and joy for us humans for thousands of years. Their companionship has brought us balance, healing and unconditional love. Our pets become family and even take the place of people missing in our life.
What humans too often forget is that animals are also sentient beings. They experience feelings and emotions, just like we do. I know this as an animal communicator and pet psychic. But you don’t have to take my word for it, because evidence for it has also repeatedly been found in scientific studies.
For example, Helen Proctor and her colleagues at the World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA) did a systematic review of more than 2,500 articles on animal sentience and concluded that evidence of animal sentience is everywhere.
Animals feel pain, frustration, sadness, neglect, abandonment and fear. They also feel joy, happiness and contentment, just like humans. Their unconditional love is natural and without judgment. They don’t care how successful, attractive or fashionable we are. They simply care about us for who we are, and all they ask in return is to be treated with some kindness and consideration.
I have the blessed gift of being able to communicate with the animals, and through the years of working with many animals, especially dogs, cats, and horses, they have taught me so much. They have shared with me many wisdoms, truths, fears, concerns, and also their confusion about some humans. At times it breaks my heart.
What The World Needs Now
New Year’s morning, I woke up with a song lyric on my mind. “What the world needs now is love, sweet love…” An old classic made popular by Jackie DeShannon back in 1965. God, my inner DJ, never ceases to amaze me with the brilliant selection of musical messages I frequently receive.
To keep my clairaudient channel clear, so that I will recognize when I am being divinely guided, I avoid listening to the actual radio. This ensures that I do not mistake a spiritual serenade for an ordinary tune stuck in my ear, or vice versa.
Songs I have not heard in decades sometimes surfaces from the vault, always to perfectly punctuate the moment. Undoubtedly, that was the case when this long-forgotten song came to me with the dawn of 2021, highlighting the healing that is needed in our world this coming year.
When God and his angel agents want to get a message across, they usually broadcast it in stereo. It starts showing up in my life in surround sound. But this time, I experienced something more extraordinary and unique: three of my friends who are intuitive and empathic also had a spiritual encounter with the same song around the same time. A Higher Power is clearly shouting, “Listen up world! Hear ye, hear ye! This is the truth you need to know right now.”
Love is indeed the call and cry of the hour. “Not just for some, but for everyone,” as the song goes on to say. Love is the healing ointment, the spiritual salve, the soothing balm, the substance needed to stitch the divides inside and out.
As spiritual beings having human experiences, we are each prone to encounter divisions within our own body and soul, and our own head and heart. We all share this ache of the self to be whole, whatever our differences may be. And love is the key. It unifies every aspect of our individual being with our divine purpose of existence.
Connecting With Your Team Of Spirit Guardians
You have a ‘squad’ of spirit friends you can count on and talk to when you need support. Our spirit helpers, be they guardian angels, guides, animal spirits, ancestors, or departed family members, are there to look out for us. They want to make our lives better.
So, how can you get to know them better? Because these beings are of the spirit realms, it’s not quite as simple as calling a human friend or sending a text, but the channels of communication are definitely open.
The first thing you need to do is get to know their names. If they are the spirits of loved ones or pets, of course, they already have a name you know them by. Use your intuition to receive the names of your guides and angels. All you need to do is ask. They will reveal their name to you when you are ready to receive it.
It is also important to understand that our spirit guardians communicate through various unspoken messages and signs, such as patterns of recurring numbers, lyrics of a favorite song, or seeing the same patterns in nature, such as cloud formations or a particular animal. Pay attention to these special signs. In our world, it’s easy to become distracted and overstimulated, but our guardians are always sending these subtle messages if we pay attention.
Engaging in your daily spiritual practices is necessary to connect with your spirit guides. When getting to know angels, for example, an angel card oracle deck is a useful tool, or a Tarot deck to link archetypes to individual guardians.
For animal spirits there are also lovely card decks, which can be very useful in identifying your totem of guardian animals. You can also keep your departed pet’s favorite items after they’re gone.
You Can Develop Your Psychic Abilities
Everyone can develop their psychic abilities. It is not a ‘gift,’ we are born with it. Here are a few tips on how to develop your psychic ability.
Get out in nature at least once a day. Take off your shoes, yes, even if it is cold out. Feel your feet on the earth and imagine you are a tree, and your feet have roots that bury deep within the earth. This is how you ‘connect’.
Picture the roots growing and getting deeper into the earth. Thank the earth for her gifts and ask for her to speak to you. You might feel a slight tingling in your feet and body! If you do not initially, eventually you will. Just keep practicing, even if you just start with a few minutes per day.
Once a day, also meditate. Turn off all electronics and do not be disturbed. Start with a few minutes and work your way up. Clear your mind of everything: every worry, every to-do list, every pain in your body. When a thought appears, put it on a cloud and ‘watch’ it drift away, and then refocus to ‘nothing.’
If it helps, try and ‘hear’ your heartbeat. Concentrate on hearing yourself breathe. If you are outside, which is best, try to hear the leaves rustle or the sound of birds. This will take practice, but this will allow messages to come in from spirit. Spirit will not be able to speak to you if you have a many other thoughts and worries going through your mind.
If you must, cover your eyes with a blindfold or anything else, to keep you from opening your eyes. Try and ‘see’ colors or shapes or patterns. Concentrate on that. This will also take practice, but do not give up.
After you master at least fifteen minutes of meditation, have a pen and paper nearby and write down every thought that comes in, every image that you see, every color or number that you see without thinking about it. You will be amazed what may come through!
