Our Totems And Spirit Animals
It is my belief that we all have animal spirit guides that guide and support us along our life journey.
Each spirit animal represents a different aspect of life. Some show up when we need their particular energy or receive their symbolic message, while others show up consistently throughout our lifetime. These animals, birds, mammals, reptiles, and even fish, are like our personal totems.
I have three main spirit totems: the eagle, the red tail hawk, and the owl. Each has shown up consistently in my life, especially when there is a time of adversity, grief, or crisis occurring.
I was made of aware of these three totems early in my life, when I consulted with an indigenous elder. He gave me my spiritual name: Soaring Free. I instantly loved my name. It represents the proud eagle that soars on high, the red tail hawk that soars in broad circles high in the air, and the owl that is wise and roams free.
The Eagle
After my parents passed away, I was cleaning their house. Not only was I grieving at the time, I was also very distraught, having to decide whether to sell their home or not. I was not at all sure if it would be the right thing to do.
Then, I asked my angels to give me a sign. Moments later, as I looked down towards the lake, there were two beautiful bald eagles sitting on the edge of a tree branch.
Now I’m Really Confused!
“Whose reading am I supposed to believe? You just told me the exact opposite of what another psychic told me. Which psychic reading is correct?” I hear these questions and comments sometimes after I do a reading for someone. I can totally relate to how my clients feel and understand their confusion.
Clients contact me for a variety of reasons. Most of them need assistance to put their lives in perspective. They need more clarity on what is happening in their lives, why it happened and where to go from here. Each client sends their own unique aura energy to me to pick up on.
Each psychic has their own unique way of connecting to their clients to give them a sincere personalized reading. Some psychics and mediums have the ability to directly connect with your aura, or your loved ones, spirit guides, angels. and the spiritual realm, while others may use astral projection, telepathy and other paranormal talents to connect with you on a metaphysical level. Some readers use psychic tools like Tarot cards, crystals, runes, astrology, numerology, pendulums and many other divination methods.
All of the psychics here on Psychic Access are human. We do the best we can with the talents that we have been given to help you. Unfortunately, we may have to tell you things that you don’t want to hear, but we try to do it in a kind and caring way. In my case, the aura you send to me upon our connection, will determine the information I am picking up on, at the time of your reading.
Auras are known to change from one reading to the next. My job is to decipher the messages I receive through your aura and to provide you the information that you are sending me at the time of the reading. Sometimes the information can be positive, but other times, it can be negative. Whatever the outcome, all of my readings come from my heart.
A Psychic Reading Brings Order To Chaos
In a typical lifetime the sun will pass over us twenty-five thousand times. If you were to walk just one mile due west each and every day of your life (if such a journey by land were possible) your life would end at the place it began. Just one mile every day, at a most comfortable stroll, you will have experienced more than anyone, and lived the dreams of most. Instead of merely waiting and watching the sun and time pass by.
If we walk slowly through life, but with purpose, we will see more, travel farther on less energy, and allow others more time to get out of our way. But occasionally, we will meet immovable objects in our path, and a decision on which way to turn must then be made.
Having a precise destiny in mind is challenging in itself, so making the right decisions along the way is essential to ensure our safe arrival at our intended destination.
In my own journey, I remind myself to smile demurely at those skeptical of what I do, even if their cynicism always surprises me, as we all foresee the future all the time.
For example, watching a carefree child at play, unaware in the midst of their joy of the likelihood, the inevitability of a fall sometimes becomes apparent and very clear to those with experience looking on.
The fact that some of us are able to see more, and in more detail, and further into the future, should therefore not be so impossible to conceive – as disconcerting or uncomfortable as this may be to the doubter.
Most reasonable people accept graciously the facts established by modern scientific method, often with little understanding of the reasoning or validity behind such conclusions. We do not have to understand the nature of everything in our lives, as long as it is evident and proven in our own experience.
The Gift Of Kindness
I was thinking today of the many beautiful acts of kindness people have shown me since my husband passed away last year. And then, some song lyrics from the movie, The Sound of Music, came to mind:
Nothing comes from nothing
Nothing ever could
So somewhere in my youth or childhood
I must have done something good.
Yes, perhaps I did some good somewhere in my life, and now I am getting some of it back, tenfold, or more!
There was a period of time, after his sudden death, when it felt as if I was carried by the locals here in Spain. I was pretty much told what to do and not just offered help. For example, when I got the news of his passing from the policeman who answered his phone at the car crash scene, I immediately went on ‘autopilot’ and attempted to cancel a coffee date I had with one of my best friends. But she simply said, “I am coming, you aren’t going alone to the scene. I am going with you!” And then she saw to everything. I was unable to speak in any language at that point, and fortunately she took over.
Christmas and New Year followed, and again my friend told me, in no uncertain terms: you are going to be with me and my family during this period. I began finding reasons and excuses as to why I might not be able to get to their home, including a possibility of snow, which had us housebound for a few days a couple of years prior. But, they were having none of that. My friend’s husband said, “My tractor will reach you whatever the weather!”
Post-death paperwork is messy in a foreign country. Red tape and bureaucracy can be a nightmare in Spain, if there is no last will and testament! Once again, I was given months of unconditional help by friends and neighbors, as we went from one government department to another to sort out complications. Even the lawyers assisting with the car insurance policy, which went above and beyond their pro bono role in the arrangements. They would accept no further payment, but were delighted when I gifted them each some Doreen Virtue angel cards in Spanish.
The Art Of Receiving A Psychic Reading
Yes, there is an art to receiving a psychic reading. It is an art of the heart.
What is art? Art is an expression of emotion, vision, creativity. It is an expression from the soul, the self. Art is also a skill that is practiced to proficiency in a specific area or aspect of human life.
The more open the heart is, the more that spiritual truth can enter. Before getting a psychic reading, it is worth the time to prepare the heart with careful introspection. The deeper you dive to the core of your inquiry – to the innermost reason why the answer, insight, or guidance you seek is important to you – the greater value you will derive from the answers you will receive.
Getting to the heart of what you need guidance with, or want to know, opens the doorway to spiritual wisdom and clears the pathways to the best reception of information available in the unseen energies that exist.
The clarity of your receptivity pathways will ultimately determine what your psychic advisor will be able to ‘see, hear, feel, and know’ on your behalf. They will only be able to channel the information you are ready to receive.
Although each psychic’s individual gifts may have the capacity for much more, they are nonetheless divinely ordained to only deliver only as much as your heart is able to hold at that given time.
Furthermore, what has not been cleared from your mind and heart can also create ‘static’ in the reading. Every thought and feeling emits an energy, like a radio wave. True psychics are finely tuned to energies and will ‘pick up’ such vibrational frequencies. Therefore, if the real heart of your inquiry is distorted or coagulated by skepticism, pretense, or superficiality of focus, for example, these intruding energies may clutter the clarity of channeled information you might otherwise receive.
How To Heal Your Broken Heart
In the 1960’s Roy Orbison belted out the song, It’s Over. Even at four years of age, it stirred my emotions hearing it on the radio. In 1984, I heard the exact same words from a man I very much loved and believed to be ‘the one.’ Thankfully, he was not, but that is another story.
He turned to me and said, “We’re not a good match.”
I remember that moment as if it were yesterday. My heart jumped and my knees turned to jelly. I felt so lost and alone, as well as almost every other negative emotion possible…from anger and hurt, to frustration and hopelessness. All these emotions coursed through my body like a freight train.
How was I going to cope without him in my life? What will become of me? What do I do now that it is over?
At 24 years of age, I did not have much experience dealing with loss, disappointment, and grief as I do today. Today, as a practicing psychic with many years of professional experience, I would offer my younger self the following spiritual advice regarding healing a broken heart.
Acknowledge
I believe we can also mourn the living, just as much as we grieve for someone who has passed away. Indeed, acknowledging finality, in whatever form the finality presents itself, can be a challenging thing to do, especially if you are emotionally involved with someone. That said, it is much better than holding onto false hope, which is far worse. Continue reading
The Life Calling Of The Death Doula
The first time I heard of a doula, I had no idea what it meant. I soon discovered that it is a person trained to provide guidance, emotional support, and physical comfort to a mother before, during, and after childbirth.
But little did I know at the time that a doula can also be someone who is of service to dying. So, a doula may assist us coming into the physical world, as well as leave the physical world. What a wonderful profession to be called to assist in the miracles of birth and death.
As a psychic medium, talking to loved ones who have crossed over, I have come to understand that some people definitely prefer to be alone at the time of death. My own dad was such a person. He made it clear to us this was his dying wish.
Several people kept vigil at his bedside for three weeks, but the moment we all were away to change clothes or eat, was his opportunity to ‘check out.’ As in life so be it in death, my dad was a very private person.
His hospice room was right across from the elevator. When my mother and I stepped off the elevator, I heard my dad take his last breath and I sensed and felt his spirit exit the building. But I also know he was not ‘alone,’ because his loved ones, guides and angels came to greet him.
So, how does an end-of-life doula help with this process? A doula is there to help the family as much as the person passing. It is my belief that it is a deep honor to be present at a birth or a death. I have had the privilege to be present at all three of my granddaughter’s births. I have also been present at several deaths.
Both are times when emotions are running very high. At a birth everyone is anxious until they hear baby’s first cry. They are on edge waiting to hear baby and mother are both fine. A doula can help explain what is going on and answer questions about the birth process.
