Personal Reflections Making People Cry In Public The idea that making people cry makes me look good at my job tells you something about my job. I am a professional psychic. People come to me for depth experiences, to work through difficult things, to be seen in all their complexity.
Personal Reflections Go Ahead and Cry I make people cry a lot. On a good week, I might make three or four people cry. Recently I made three people cry in two days and one other person almost cried. I love making making cry. At a family dinner my dad greeted me by asking me loudly
Personal Reflections The Niceness of Telling the Whole Truth Years ago I spent a summer writing poetry and was finally able to write something I thought was truly sweet, inspired by the beautiful musician I’d just started dating. I read it to him, thinking I’d written something usually sweet and he looked at me with a somewhat
Personal Reflections Pain, Suffering, and Spiritual Reality I’ve occasionally had clients confess to me that they feel spiritually inadequate because they haven’t been able to make themselves feel okay in a bad situation. “I should be able to manifest something better,” they tell themselves, or “I should be able to control how I feel about

Personal Reflections Rollercoasters I spent the day riding rollercoasters yesterday. I do not particularly like rollercoasters, but my boyfriend wanted to and I was curious about how I would feel doing it. My boyfriend decided we would get to the park early and start with the most extreme roller coasters starting with Leviathan,
Skeptic to Psychic: A Memoir How I Became a Professional Psychic I never intended to become a professional psychic intuitive. All I did was start tuning into my inner experience, follow what I felt pulled towards and it all just seemed to happen. I guess I just sort of relaxed into this line of work. I started to do readings because
Intuitive Practice Basics Intuition is Not Rational, but it's not Irrational Intuition and rationality are not incompatible. They are simply distinct internal processes. In my work and practice, it’s very important to understand the differences between intuitive, rational, and emotional processes. These days we value rationality very highly but often don’t think too closely about what it is. A
Intuitive Practice Basics Stop Compensating for Your Strengths Far too often people with amazing magical minds aren't really using the magical parts as a strength.

Personal Reflections What Thoughts Mean I asked my boyfriend what he meant when he said he was afraid of the roller coaster. He said “well, you are afraid it is going to break and you will die.” That’s definitely not what I was afraid of. When I was strapped into my seat, I searched
Intuitive Practice Basics Intuition is Not Emotion Intuition can give us really useful information about people, situations and ourselves. But what is intuition really?

Personal Reflections Etiquette and the Agony of Creative Births There is a point where creative work must come out into the world. In my experience there is a rawness inherent in this, sometimes an agony. My creative life has been marked by occasion after occasion where I tried to bring work into the world, asked for help, and the
