Your Spirit Guides Will Never Lead You Astray
“My guides must hate me! Why else would they lead me to things that cause me so much pain?” someone once said during a reading. “And where is my guardian angel when I need him?”
It was not the first time I’ve heard such sentiments from a distressed client. This kind of disappointment and frustration is not uncommon because it cuts to the heart of spiritual seeking.
It is certainly a valid concern. If angels, guides, and ancestors are meant to guide, support, and protect us, then why do they sometimes lead us to pain, heartache, and even trauma? Do they really have our backs, or are they inflicting suffering upon us for some strange reason?
I confess that there was a time in my own life when I also asked these kinds of questions.
But after years of working as a professional psychic and energy healer, as well as through my own spiritual growth journey, I’ve since come to a comforting conclusion. Our spirit helpers always operate from a place of divine wisdom, unconditional love and compassionate support.
Then why, you may ask, do bad things sometimes happen to good people? It’s simple, really. Any detour from our highest good does not occur because spirit somehow miscalculated, neglected, or misrepresented anything.
When we encounter trouble, it is usually our own doing, or something we co-created with others. Whatever the reason or cause, we alone are always the common denominator.
Below are a few examples of such self-inflicted calamities that I have repeatedly come across in my work, as well as how they differ from actual spirit guidance and divine intervention.
Things You May Not Know About Our Psychic Readings
Did you know? The popularity of psychic readings continues to rise as more people seek meaning beyond the material and answers that speak to the heart and soul.
According to a recent Pew Research Center study, 30% of U.S. adults consult psychics and astrologers at least once a year. Fourteen percent do so monthly, and approximately 6% engage with psychics weekly. In our experience, these numbers reflect more than mere curiosity or entertainment value. They point to a cultural shift toward viewing psychic reading as a meaningful resource for navigating life.
Psychic readings are increasingly recognized as a valuable tool for self-discovery, emotional healing, and spiritual growth. In today’s fast-paced and uncertain world, people are turning to psychics and mediums for connection, clarity, and comfort.
This growing interest isn’t just a trend; it represents a broader spiritual awakening. As mindfulness, mental health awareness, and holistic wellness become more prominent, people are revisiting ancient spiritual teachings and practices through a modern lens. Psychic readings provide a sacred space to pause, reflect, and explore life’s deeper questions. Instead of being an escape from reality, they offer a way to engage with it more consciously, with spirit and intuition as trusted allies.
As more people embrace the metaphysical dimensions of their lives, psychic readings are becoming essential companions on the journey toward wholeness and self-understanding. There are several important reasons why this is happening, as well as a few surprising truths about psychic readings that people often don’t realize. Continue reading
The Transformative Power Of Finding Your Faith
Faith is deeply personal and means different things to different people. It can take many forms, such as spiritual faith in a higher power, personal faith in one’s abilities, or faith in the people and principles that shape our lives.
For some, faith is a guiding force that offers comfort and meaning. For others, it’s a leap into the unknown, choosing hope over doubt. It can be rooted in a religious tradition, philosophical principle, esoteric teaching, or the simple belief that tomorrow holds possibilities unseen today.
Whatever our beliefs, faith is an intense and often unshakable certainty in those beliefs despite the absence of proof. To me, faith is a powerful, transformative force. When embraced, it offers immeasurable strength in the face of life’s challenges.
When I was young, I struggled to grasp the concept of faith. I never doubted the existence of a creator. I never doubted an afterlife or the presence of spirits in our lives. Perhaps this was due to my innate sensitivity to energies and spiritual disposition. I moved through life guided by intuition.
Yet despite my spiritual grounding, my faith was tested repeatedly, especially through experiences of trauma and loss.
I wrestled with questions of purpose and fairness. I couldn’t accept the idea of a cruel or indifferent creator who randomly punished or rewarded people.
Holding On To What Never Changes
Nature always inspires deep thoughts in me. There’s something about pausing to watch the wind rustle through the trees or to see the sun gently filter through the clouds that invites stillness and reflection.
Today, I found myself contemplating the constantly changing seasons. In the Northern Hemisphere, we are a month away from the summer solstice, and the days are becoming increasingly long and warm with golden light. The trees are lush and full, the air hums with the sound of insects, and gardens overflow with life.
Change is everywhere. It’s evident in the ripening of fruit, the intense afternoon heat, and the subtle shift in the season’s energy toward harvest.
It’s not just nature, either. Our lives are constantly evolving, too. Relationships shift, careers transition, health fluctuates, and dreams reshape themselves over time.
No matter where we turn, we hear messages such as “Change is inevitable,” and “Don’t be afraid of change.”
Yes, change is necessary. As spiritual beings, we are meant to continually grow and evolve. Change challenges us, stretches us, and teaches us.
But let’s be honest — sometimes it’s also deeply unsettling. This is especially true in times like these, when the world feels uncertain, divided, and fragile.
April Showers Bring May, And June Flowers!
The old saying, “April showers bring May flowers,” reminds us that difficult periods can lead to growth and beauty.
For many, April this year truly felt like an emotional downpour, both internally and externally. It was a time of letting go and confronting old wounds or patterns that no longer served a purpose.
While the skies may not have cleared overnight, we are now entering a new chapter. As we move through late May and look ahead to June, a powerful shift is underway—one that brings hope, clarity, and blooming potential.
April is dominated by Aries season and the intensity of its fiery energy. Ruled by Mars, Aries tends to stir things up, fueling restlessness, frustration, and even conflict. This year, many of us felt an even stronger inner drive than usual to move forward, yet we also encountered lingering emotional blocks or unusual external resistance. For many, it was a month of both internal and external battles where old stories resurfaced to be healed or released.
Taurus season followed, overlapping the end of April and the first few weeks of May. Its slower, earthbound rhythm helped us begin to stabilize — but not without first confronting the emotional residue left behind.
Taurus energy urged us to get grounded, reconnect with our values, and take things one step at a time. This helped to soothe some of the turbulence, but it also highlighted areas of life in which we have been too rigid, stuck, or overly attached to our comfort zones.
Embracing The Shadow Within
When I first began to intentionally and consciously walk a spiritual path, I remember doing so because it just felt so right. Every step I took toward ‘enlightenment’ in this lifetime seemed to bring more brightness into my life, and so many more blessings.
In those early days I was really rolling! I was expecting this to be an easy ride – all joy and light and love. It was wonderful.
What I hadn’t expected was the inevitable emergence of my shadow through as a result of all my spiritual work. And it was not something I was going to be comfortable with – admitting I had places of darkness within me, unloved aspects of myself, disowned pieces of my soul which had been abandoned and in such pain.
Through a series of, what seemed like, unfortunate events, I was given opportunities to face my shadow side. Challenges in relationships with friends and loved ones arose. I couldn’t understand it at first, and felt very alone and misunderstood. I was shifting the blame for this onto the people around me, instead of going inward.
Going inward, into the light, was totally okay, but going inward into the darkness was terrifying. My ego-self raised every defense to keep me from going there. Eventually, I could avoid it no longer.
My life at this point had endured tremendous change in the course of only a few years- so much so, that the entire landscape of my existence and the people in it were now different. While many of the changes were positive, the magnitude of the differences between my ‘old life’ and my ‘new life’ forced me into robust self-reflection.
