Intuition Unleashed
How to turn up the volume on your intuition and receive intuitive messages with ease
When people ask me how I learned to read the Tarot, or how I’ve built such a strong relationship with my guides, or how I’m able to channel messages for my clients, or how I’ve cultivated my psychic gifts, my answer is the same:
Study. I’ve spend the past eight years reading books, working with teachers, and deepening my knowledge of Tarot, mediumship, and the folk magic of my ancestors. This study is the foundation on which all my work sits, and there’s no doubt that to grow these skills, you have to study them.
Dedication to Practice. There have been periods of my life where my practice was a monthly affair and others where it’s been daily, but since starting this work I’ve committed to a regular practice in which I show up for my Good Spirits, tend the altars, practice what I’ve learned, and show my dedication to the craft. This dedication and regular practice is at the root of my spirituality and the relationship I’ve built to my Good Spirits. Practice may not make perfect, but it does move you in the right direction.
Intuition. Ultimately, you cannot do this work without learning to trust your intuition. So many of the messages I share that resonate most with my clients come not from the books I’ve read, but from the intuitive messages I receive when reading or channeling. It’s taken a lot of time and practice to cultivate a strong and clear intuiton, and I’m still working on trusting my intuition more fully, but I truly believe intuition is the backbone of magic in all its forms.
That last one often causes my students to deflate. Study and Practice are such firm concepts, and it’s easy to see how you could commit yourself to these things and experience results. Intuition, however, is a bit more ephemeral. Many people seem to think they’re either born with strong intuition or not, and if they do not think they have strong intuition, they act as if this is an insurmountable hurdle.
But that is a myth.
Sure, some of us are naturally more connected to our intuition than others, but it’s kind of like a muscle. Regardless of natural abilities, any of us can commit to a workout routine and grow stronger muscles. The same goes for our intuition. Certain practices can help us connect to our intuition more often and with greater ease. When we learn these practices, it becomes easier to move through the world guided and supported by our intuition.
To help you deepen your connection with your inner wisdom, I’ve created the workshop "Intuition Unleashed". It’s a powerful 2-hour workshop happening THIS FRIDAY, and it’s designed to help you strengthen and trust your intuitive abilities. In addition to activating your intuition during our time together, this workshop offers practical exercises, insightful discussions, and daily techniques that you can take home and use to build a stronger, ongoing relationship with your intuition.
What to Expect:
Guided Intuition Practices: We will begin with a series of guided practices aimed at helping you tap into and amplify your intuitive senses. Through meditation, visualization, and grounding exercises, you will learn to quiet the mind and listen to the subtle cues of your inner voice.
Understanding Types of Intuition: Together, we’ll dive into a comprehensive discussion on the different types of intuition, such as clairvoyance, clairsentience, and claircognizance. Discover how these intuitive faculties manifest in your body and learn to identify and trust the signals they provide.
Embodiment Techniques: Lastly, we’ll explore various techniques to feel and recognize intuition in your body. By becoming more attuned to your physical sensations and emotional responses, you can build a stronger, more reliable connection to your intuitive guidance.
Take-Home Practices and Techniques:
Daily Intuition Exercises: Receive practical exercises you can incorporate into your daily routine to strengthen and hone your intuitive skills.
Journaling and Reflection: Learn how to use journaling as a tool to capture intuitive insights and track your progress, helping you to build confidence in your intuitive abilities over time.

Whether you’re new to intuition or looking to refine your abilities, this workshop offers the guidance and tools you need to unlock the full potential of your inner wisdom.
Join us and embark on a journey to unleash the power of your intuition!
This workshop will be on Friday, August 9th from 5:30-7:30pm at the Yoga Room Tahoe in Tahoe City. It’s offered on a sliding scale from $30-50, with a suggested cost of $40 (but please pay what you’re able). Let me know if you have any questions and I hope to see you there!
For those who can’t come to the workshop, or just want to start playing with their intuition now, one of my favorite daily intuition practices is a game of “Human Pendulum”.
Take your hands out in “cactus arms” (like you’re making a field goal with your arms). Let your arms be light and fluid as they move from open in the cactus position (this will designate YES) and closed/crossed over your chest (this designates NO).
Close your eyes and think of a Yes/No question that you know the answer to. I.E. “Is my name X” or “am I X years old”. Float your arms between these positions and note how it feels in your body when you land on the right answer vs the wrong answer. Try asking more emotionally loaded questions vs more simple questions and notice how the sensation changes. When you have a good sense of what YES and NO feel like in your body, add in a challenge by asking questions you aren’t sure of the answer to, and see what intuition suggests.
Get hands on guidance with this technique and learn more practices like this at the workshop this Friday!
