9 reasons to adore nakedness, i mean tarot

1. Nakedness. Seriously. Naked women, naked truth, transparency. You pick the order.
2. Singing. Your inner wisdom doesn't just speak to you with cards, it SINGS to you! A raw, sweet, in your face song. Every song is different, but an endless possibility of songs, a complex range of notes. Velvety and grinding. Yum.
   
3. Makes the unseen seen. Whether it's your emotions, your thoughts, how energy is flowing, possibilities, emptiness, consciousness...you can see and experience vibrations happening in a more concrete way.
4. Helps the overly heady. Holistic patterns, rhythms. Helps bring right brain thinking, not just linear thinking. Also, drops you into your body by activating your hands touching the cards. For someone who can be overly analytical, I find it helps balance me and get me into heart-mind.
5. Symbol heaven. Objects, Colors, Directions, Planets, Signs, Animals, Numbers. Lightness, Darkness....so many gateways to get your attention and connect with meaningful insight. A thorough collection and range of consciousness to draw upon.
   
6. Storytelling. Rather than just a word or vibe, a story lays out before you. A pattern. A pathway that draws you deeper into you, deeper into truth, deeper into creation...if you listen to the whispers of the story, and the characters, and the theme...beautiful.
   
7. Answers, nice. Learning to question, priceless. Layouts teach you to ask, analyze, organize. And then when there are no cards, your ability to examine complex relationships is right there, in a layout/spread in your mind. Insights even come to a particular location in a 'frame' in my mind...on the right are possibilities, on the left are motivations. Below, what is hidden, above are actions. I don't need cards to have insights or visions show up in certain places within my mind. Organizing clarity.
   
8. Appearing friends. The cards just show up in my mind sometimes. They are friends. Honest friends, tricky friends, mischievous friends, sweet as honey friends....And just like different friends meet different needs, the cards just dance right up into my consciousness and say hello, here is what you seek....look closely at this part of me.
9. Nakedness. Seriously. Strip down and see the truth, baby...it's staring right at you.

Tools are just tools. I see naked, someone else sees whatever they see. The tool bearer is where the insight lays. Cardsl can really help people who are visual or clairvoyant. Can also help someone who is claircognizant (I just know!  This is my primary sense.) to learn to identify intuitions. I've never taught a class specifically on using cards, but this tool was instrumental in helping me trust and be accurate. Maybe someday.

Do you use or like Tarot? Or what helps you gain insight?

queen mum at the chiropractor & my nagging frustration with names

With tears in her eyes, the administrative assistant at the chiropractor's office pointed to a picture of her grandmother on her desk and we both knew silently that she passed away. "Last night," was all she could say.

I went and got my adjustment and got the sense of a bold woman with big energy around her head, really wide at the head, unusually wide. And the name "...izzie" or something similar. I felt I didn't quite have it but close enough. The energy was there, but very subtle.

On the way out, I stopped by the desk, and since we've talked and shared about intuition lots of times, I asked, "I'm getting a name, something like, 'izzie, ozzie'. Is that what your grandmother is called, or did she have a nickname for you?"

"Yeah. Her name is Dottie." Yup. Somewhat close, not on the money, but close enough to connect which is all that matters. (I noticed that I hadn't really asked for louder, clearer or clarification...should do that next time.)

She went on to share about how wonderful her grandmother is and how lucky she was to know her. Then she told me they all called her Queen Mum and she always wore big hats. Ahhh..that explains the unusual energy I felt around her head. Funny. She says she wishes that when she gets pregnant some day she would be able to share it with her grandmother.

"I think your grandmother wants you to know she's here, sweetheart. She knows. She will know when it happens. She's still here."

The woman smiled.

I left happy to help with the connection. But honestly, I also felt this nagging frustration about names. Sometimes they are so clear with accents! I want to practice this listening. But whatever works....

the big "O" reading...when intuitive guidance delights

one of my funniest readings ever...when intuitive guidance surprises and delights...

My client looked at me like a deer in headlights. Nervous. What would I tell her?

I affirmed to myself my intention to be truthful, relevant, loving, serving her highest good...and how about some humor to make this easier for her!? Oh, did we get it!

What comes (excuse the pun) to me as guidance is "Orgasm".

Orgasm? What am I supposed to tell her about an orgasm? I wait for more guidance and nothing 'downloads.' So I start asking questions?

• Is there a conflict or concern about orgasms? No.
• Am I supposed to teach her about having orgasms? Odd, I suppose I did say I'm willing to be of service and teaching about having orgasms could sure spread happiness, but not what I had in mind. lol. No.
• Am I just horny and this message is for me and not her? Laugh. No.
• Breathe. More questions. Still nothing else.
• She's come to me for spiritual guidance and all I've got is orgasm. Can I do this work? I'm open to please have some specifics to help her!?! Breathe.
• Breathe. Same message. Orgasm. Nothing else.

Okay. I know how this works. The message is for her, not me. Just say it. See what happens. Sometimes a client understands when I don't. Sometimes the rest of the message flows through once I start speaking.

"Well. I see a (and as soon as I start talking, and trust the message and stop doubting myself, the rest flows like river) Oh. I see. I see you leaving a job that didn't give you an orgasm. You just couldn't get the big O there. You thought it was the perfect job for you, but it was never satisifying. My guidance shows your perception is correct. This job will not be satisifying. It is wise to leave this job."

The client cracks up! "Yes, I just resigned a couple days ago. I was feeling guilty about it, like there was something wrong with me because it was supposed to be the perfect job. But I was unhappy. Thanks for confirming my decision."

Deer in headlights gone and she's fully open now, too. Divine humor. Lovely.

The reading goes on full of specific guidance about her life's purpose and patterns, talents and how to work with them, a new business opportunity, choices about having children and other critical and highly specific topics.

Half way through the reading....and my guidance is that it's time for "hard wood".

All I can think about is the relationship to orgasm, ahem, and how 'hard wood' is good. Oh my. Do I need sex or something? What is up with this message? Is this about sex? Am I missing something? Breathe. Yep. Just say it, Meredith.

"Hun. Not sure what this means, but I see it is time for hard wood, " I share.

She chuckles and tells me she totally knows what that means. And again, once I let the guidance flow, more follows, "Oh. Me, too. I see you working with wood. Taking trees and shaping them into objects." She confirms.

"Yes, working with this wood is very good for you. In fact, it is your orgasm! Wink. Really. You can pour yourself into this. But I am getting the guidance that this is not for financial comfort, just the orgasm. Enjoy it. Keep the new business for prosperity."

Well, I learned to continue to ask for humor, along with the truth and service. I was reminded that intuitions often arrive like breadcrumbs: follow one and the next shows itself. And it is fun to be surprised and delighted in a reading. Just ask for it. Synchronicities and coincidences of humor and joy will find you.

Let intuition be a delight.

what clock did i create...comeon...be psychic

"What clock did I create?" my son asked me of his shop (ahem, excuse me, technical education) project. "Come on! Guess! Be psychic."

"Oh. I dunno. I don't usually get stuff like that, sweets. I get more life lessons and stuff like that." I replied.

"Oh, Momma. Yes, you do. Just guess."

Breath. "Fire!" I said. (knowing most of the kids made footballs, seemed unlikely)

"Could be," he replied. "Guess again."

"Fire!" I insisted.

"Guess again," he replied again.

"Okay then. A campfire! A candle with a flame! A ball of fire! Red. Golden?!"

"Yup," he admits with a chuckle.

"Really? Ha! Fun! What exactly is the wood clock you made?"

"A comet! It's a red ball of fire. haha, Mom! Told you that you do see things like that."

Motto: Play psychic games. Be surprised.

how's your strep throat? (and the clairs)

"Um. What?" she asked questioning. "How did you know that?" responded my girlfriend to my greeting her phone call with a "Hey, girl, how's your strep throat doing?"

"Why, you told me a few days ago when we talked, I guess," I responded without really thinking about it, frankly.

"Um. No, Meredith. I didn't. Because I woke up with it this morning. In fact, I'm driving to the doctor right now. I didn't tell you. How did you know? You crack me up."

Funny. She's known me since I was 15 years old. She knows I 'know things' but it's still amusing to us both. I didn't even realize I was intuiting.

It's just so normal and I'm so used to 'just knowing' (claircognizance or 'clear knowing' is my primary way, then clairvoyant, then clairsentient, then clairaudient. not sure what you call clair-smellient, but I've experienced that too...and wonder if it is possible to be clair-tastient, lol...hoping all my wine tasting will develop into that, too...hmm...pleasant tastes only please?!).

Anyhow...
It goes back to my teacher Jim telling me not to get caught up in having to know if it's a thought or intuition or whatever, just follow it. I have clear thoughts. I have clear intuitions. Just go with it. Right on.

As it turns out, I think that strep throat intuition was meant to launch off a bit on the subject of intuition, which I believe my friend is exploring quite a bit as of late. So there really was a purpose in saying what I got and I'm glad it just flowed out of my mouth.

Motto as of late: Don't hold back.


I think it helps a lot of people to identify their intuitive style. By focusing on one's strength, one can better allow their intuition. That's one of my specializations in working with people, I 'just know' people's style and can suggest techniques best matched to one's style.

• Clairvoyance: Clear seeing. Seeing in the minds eye is a lot like seeing a memory or imagining a vision or picture, though sometimes it is stronger like a presence right there. (Do you tend to learn visually?)
• Clairaudience: Clear hearing. Hearing in the mind's ear is a lot like remembering a sound, though sometimes it is a lot stronger like I turn around. (Do you tend to learn by listening?)
• Clairsentience: Clear sensing. This is really feeling vibes in your body. (Do you tend to learn by doing or get strong sensations in your body?)
• Claircognizance: Clear knowing. 'I just know' is so close to a crystal clear thought, but it comes more from the belly than the mind, though can be hard to tell. It does have a ring, ping and clearness to it. A purity. Not so thick or dense as many thoughts. I work with a lot of claircognizant people to develop because it is a profound way of knowing but probably one of the hardest to trust. (Do you tend to get strong gut feelings without knowing why?)

With all that said...I've had psychic smells, too...don't feel you need to put yourself in one of these labels...describe it in your own words. And just like learning, most people have multiple styles that work, but stronger ones. What ways do you get intuitions?

UPDATE: just came across this:
Clairaliance: clear smelling (a favorite of spirits for connecting, mediumship)
Clairambience: clear tasting
makes sense that someone had a name for it.... :)
