Karen asks: I want to switch gears in my professional career and I have a strong intuition that I need to find a business partner. How do I know if that’s truly my intuition/nudge from the angels, or if I’m just doubting in my ability to conduct my business alone? I’m not typically someone who likes to work alone. If I find that working with someone is in my best interest, I would like to find that person right away. How can I use the wisdom of the angels to find the right person?
 
Sarah answers: This is a wonderful time embark on a new journey by utilizing your creativity to develop the perfect career. You have so many wonderful ideas brewing in regards to how you can use your gifts to serve the community. My sense is that you’re very confident in your abilities and you’re aware of your talents and short comings. You thrive off of learning and growing with colleagues who have the same drive and vision, but offer a different lens than your own.
 
Karen, you have intuitive gifts that have been serving you your entire life. I’m hearing from the angels that you have always been able to access deep knowledge and self-awareness since childhood. The pivotal decisions you’ve made as an adult have been based on your intuition and the outcome of your decisions have been positive. Ha! An angel appeared on the screen after I wrote that sentence as a way to confirm that the information I’m channeling is correct.
 
This leads me to my next point.  You can ask the angels for signs of confirmation to determine whether or not you’re accessing intuition.  Often when I’m writing this column or giving an intuitive reading and a feeling of doubt creeps up, an angel will appear in a flash right before me on the computer screen or beside my client. I also receive other visual or auditory signs of confirmation. Your intuition is clairsentient in nature (psychic knowing through feelings). Signs from the angels that you are following your truth are feelings of joy, giddiness, and excitement when you consider your idea. You may also feel chills throughout your body and at the top of your head. Angel guidance will also come through in your dreams if they haven’t already. If you are basing your decision on self-doubt, you would feel tightness in your heart and stomach areas, heaviness as though someone placed an anvil on your shoulders, and/or feeling a sense of sadness.
 
The angels are showing me a vision where you are sitting in a quiet place and holding a journal. Your eyes are closed, and you’re dropping into your breath. After settling into a deep sense of calm, ask yourself why you would like to find a business partner, and free write your response. Your answer will likely reveal insecurities, such as “I’m afraid to embark on this journey alone”, or “I’m not confident that I’ll always make the best business decisions”, because it’s normal to have some insecurities when starting something new. If all or most of your answers are along those lines, then that’s a good sign that self-doubt is clouding your judgement. Yet I see most of your answers coming from a place of excitement, such as “I love the idea of combining my gifts with a colleague”, or “My ideal partner and I will create something beautiful together”.
 
If you decide to find a business partner, the angels are telling me a number of things.  First you have to consider what you want in a partner before you recruit someone. Draw a silhouette on a piece of paper. In the space where the face would be, write a description of how you would like the person to think. For example, they are able to brainstorm new ideas, make decisions quickly, they’re open minded, etc…Then write descriptions of ways in which you would like your partner to operate from his/her heart: They are passionate about being of service, they value people of all cultures/socioeconomic backgrounds, etc…
 
Consider ways in which your partner can complement your skills and visualize working with your partner. Ask the angels to bring you a person who embodies everything you’ve envisioned in the ideal partner and more. Call upon Archangel Chamuel to assist you, as he helps with career related issues. Then you’ll be ready to go about finding that person using concrete methods such as networking, putting a message out on Facebook, and attending meetup groups. If you’re able to trust that the right person will be presented to you at the right time, you will find her easily.
 
I trust that everything will unfold beautifully for you. The work you’ll be doing will help alleviate suffering and enrich the community.

Rita asks: Where is my life heading? Am I going in the right direction?
 
I’m seeing that you are successful in your career, although you may experience time periods when your flow of clients seems to ebb. You’re very social and outgoing. You spend a lot of time tending to the needs of others, especially your immediate and extended family.  I’m getting that you are seen as a matriarch. You’re great at planning parties and hosting celebrations. You bring so much joy to others by caring for people when they’re sick and providing counsel for your friends. Your life is rich in many ways, but I can see that you feel like something is missing.

I have been giving readings for so many men and women who feel unsure about whether or not they are fulfilling their highest potential in life. My theory is that we have been called to make a shift and step into our power by fully utilizing our creativity and talents. This shift is occurring to offset the widespread negativity and hate that has recently boiled to the surface of the world.

You are absolutely headed in the right direction because you have already done so much for others in your personal life and career. You completed an important next step, which is honoring yourself by revaluating your life from a place of authenticity.
Although societal gender roles are shifting, many women have been socialized to accommodate others before taking care of themselves. We often ignore our inner voices in the process in order to fulfill our roles as wife and mother. I feel that this applies to you, and you are now awakening to the truth of who you are in this moment. You’ve done a great job of following your bliss in the past in terms of creating a family and career.  
​
As of right now, you need to focus on allowing your inner voice to flow, as she will be your guide.  Find an activity that makes you feel happy and centered. I have an image of you playing the flute and/or piano. If that doesn’t resonate, create a quiet, sacred space in your home and listen to music with piano or flute as primary instruments. Close your eyes, breathe deeply, and tell yourself that you are safe in exploring your true desires. Ask yourself what you want your life to look like, and free write your answer in a journal that is dedicated to this new phase in your life.  Notice the negative thoughts that might pop up as you write, and let them float away. Journaling in general is a very good way for you to process your thoughts and feelings.

Speaking of writing, I see you working on a project that brings you joy. It looks like you are documenting stories about your parents and great-grand parents’ lives. I see you looking at a photo album of old pictures of your family members. Honoring your lineage is an important part of your life’s mission. I’m also hearing that you are a great story teller, and it’s time to put those talents on paper.

I also see that you are a pillar in your community. You are good at taking leadership positions and standing up for just causes. Have you ever thought of running for office, or charring large scale events that benefit society? If so, the angels are providing validation that you should go for it!

Remember that taking care of yourself comes first. You often feel exhausted after taking care of so many people. You MUST create time every day to nurture yourself by meditating, journaling, getting your nails done, or exercising.  it would be healthier for you to be more boundaried with people in your life who rely on you more than is necessary. By taking a step back, your loved ones may realize they need to be more self-reliant in solving their own problems.
​
You are a busy woman and my advice may feel overwhelming.  Remember to take everything one step at a time. Choose to work on whatever feels right to you in the moment and remember there is absolutely no rush. Congratulate yourself for all the wonderful things you’ve done in your life so far. Be gentle and loving to yourself as your inner light continues to unfold.

Dear Sarah,
 
 I've been wondering about a relationship, any possible chances for a second chance? He decided to end the relationship but I love him like no other -Michelle

Dear Michelle,
I’m sorry to hear that you are experiencing heart break, and I hope my answer to your question will bring you some comfort. When people come to me asking about repairing failed relationships, I often see that these relationships ended for a reason. The messages I’m receiving indicate that this is the case for you and your former mate, whom I will refer to as Bob. It may or may not be possible for you and Bob to reunite, as the future can change depending on the choices you and Bob make. 
I’m intuiting that a relationship previous to your time with Bob negatively impacted your self-esteem. This partner was cold, often unkind, and temperamental. You developed beliefs about yourself that you were unlovable and not worthy of a healthy relationship. Understandably so, you carried these beliefs into your relationship with Bob.

Deep down inside you expected that Bob would leave you, so you self-sabotaged by starting arguments. At the same time Bob had behaviors that were disturbing to you and perhaps would have been deal breakers if you were feeling more confident in yourself when you first met.

The answer to your question is this: rather than trying to figure out if there is possibility of a second chance, ask yourself if you really want to have a second chance with Bob. You’ll find the answer to this question when you are able to love yourself fully. An angel popped up on my computer screen after writing that sentence so I know it’s important information for you.

Self-love is a popular term amongst those who are on the spiritual path, but it’s much easier said than done. Here’s an action plan based on channeling the angels and my knowledge as a mental health therapist:
Find a quiet place in your home, play soft music, light a candle, and write yourself a love letter. List all the qualities about yourself that are lovable. Your letter should at least be a page long. Notice whether or not you have any negative thoughts or judgments about yourself as you write, and write those thoughts on a separate piece of paper. Read your love letter when you wake up in the morning and when you go to bed at night.

Then take a look at your list of negative thoughts about yourself. Where did they came from? Most of the thoughts didn’t originate in your mind. They (advertently and inadvertently) came from family members, friends, teachers, dominant messages from society about beauty or image, and past romantic relationships. They started forming when you were young and continued as you got older.

Take your negative thought list and write positive “I am” statements. The purpose of these statements are to cancel out the negative thought patterns.  For example, if you wrote that you are stupid, write “I am smart”, or if you wrote “I hate my body”, replace that with, “I am grateful for my beautiful, healthy, body”. Transfer these positive statements to sticky notes and place them all over your home. Then take your list of negative statements and burn them. Throw the ashes in a garbage can far from where you live.

Chances are, you may not believe your positive affirmations are true at first. Our thoughts are incredibly powerful, and if we practice replacing negative thoughts with positive affirmations, it can change the way we see ourselves. I recommend going to author Louise Hay’s website at louisehay.com to explore this further. Louise is an expert on how positive affirmations can change our lives.
 
Another message from the angels I’m getting is to stay true to your convictions without yelling or instigating arguments. Communication can make or break relationships. All you have to do is notice what bothers you. These steps are excerpts taken from the 4-Part Nonviolent Communication Process developed by Marshall B. Rosenburg, PH.D:

1. Observe what you see (the specific behavior that makes you angry) and state the facts. Ex: “You didn’t answer me when I asked about your day”.
2. Say how you feel: “I feel angry and ignored”.
3. Share what you need: “I need to feel heard”
4. Make a request: “Would you be willing to respond to my questions when I ask?”

This will take a lot of practice, as most of us don’t communicate naturally this way. I would start practicing this with friends and family when the opportunity arises.

Whether or not you or Bob get back together, I know you will find love again. If you can fall in love with yourself, you will draw a man who honors you and treats you with love and respect. When you feel like you can use extra help, call upon Archangel Zadkiel, the angel of healing through positive thoughts, bravery, and forgiveness of yourself and others, and Chamuel, the angel of finding soul mates. I’m grateful for the opportunity to be of service to you in your quest for love and happiness.

Dear Sarah,
Hi, my name is Cherise and my boyfriend’s name is Pascal. We have been going through a lot for seven months. We were unemployed and had to sleep in our car after our landlords decided to sell our place. We’ve been trying very hard to get back on our feet. Now we have jobs, but we are still living in our car. We are planning on moving to Vegas next month because it's so expensive here in California. I would like to know if we will find jobs in Vegas and not become homeless again for the third time.

Dear Cherise, I want to first acknowledge that I’m writing from a place of privilege and I understand there are many factors leading to your struggle that are a result of oppressive structures within our society. I feel that my response should include messages from the angels as to how to end homelessness on a global level, but I don’t have the space to do so.

I see that you are a loving person and you work very hard in creating a stable life for yourself. I’m getting messages that blessings are coming your way, but you must believe in yourself in order for your dreams to come true. This is where the true challenge lies. You are feeling a deep sense of shame regarding your situation, yet overcoming the shame is the key to finding happiness and success.
I’m seeing a loving, grandmotherly figure coming through. Did you have a grandmother who passed? You must believe you are loved and cherished even if you are getting the opposite message from the people who surround you. I’m also seeing an image of you with a small baby girl. Perhaps this will be one of your future blessings when the timing is right.
You will find housing in Las Vegas as long as you believe in the possibility that good will come your way. It may start in a motel, but that will be temporary until you find a more permanent home. Pascal either has a job lined up or will get one soon. I see you caring for adults in my mind’s eye. Have you thought of working as a care provider or a nurse?

There are two ways to work towards fulfilling your dreams. One of course is practical. You must put effort into looking for work and places to live. Just remember that you did not create a world in which homelessness exists, so you shouldn’t have to navigate your way out by yourself.  Here’s a website to find resources on homelessness prevention in Las Vegas: http://www.needhelppayingbills.com/html/nevada_eviction_and_homeless_p.html
The other method involves spiritual practices that will lift your vibration. The angels are asking you to write a love letter to yourself. Congratulate yourself for all the wonderful ways in which you make the world a brighter place. This includes anything from smiling at a stranger to caring for an elder. Write that you are truly deserving of having your own home and creating a loving family.

If Pascal is open to it, visualize the place you would like to live in and write down the characteristics together. Imagine that this place is already yours and notice the feelings of peace and contentment you have. Say thank you (whatever higher power you believe in) for providing us with the perfect home as often as possible. Place sticky notes all over your car with positive affirmations such as “I am smart”, “I am being cared for”, “I am loved”, “I am enough”, and anything else you can think of that will help increase your ability to love yourself deeply.  Visualize walking through your new home and make it as detailed a vision as possible. How is it decorated? Imagine washing the dishes, doing laundry, eating breakfast at your kitchen table. Imagine what you’ll be eating for dinner the night you move in.

Cherise’s response: I know people go through ups and downs in life and I’m trying to get back on track. I'm trying to stay patient and I’m trying to keep my mind focused on other things that are positive. I’ve been singing in my head to distract myself. I don't believe in myself at times because I have dyslexia and I’m afraid to do things that involve reading or spelling. I really want to work on it so that I will not be afraid to pursue what I want in life. I'm ready to do that now. I'm ashamed of the dyslexia. 
Yes, my grandmother passed away seven years ago. I miss her so much. I want to get back to my spiritual meditations, but I’ve been working all the time to make as much money as I can. I hope to have a baby girl so that would be amazing. I have thought about caregiving and I may look into that when I move to Vegas. 

Sarah’s Response: You are very smart, and being dyslexic has nothing to do with your level of intelligence. You can go to www.beatingdyslexia.com to learn more about available resources and support. There are millions of successful adults who are dyslexic, so you are not alone!
​
In regards to your occupation, if I saw you as a caregiver and you were thinking of going into that line of work, that means the angles are providing validation that this would be a great path. So many doors will open after you face your fears regarding dyslexia. Thank you for sharing your story. You are an inspiration!

​Dear Sarah,
 
Who do I have to become in order to experience the life I want to experience? Who do I have to be in order to find what I've been searching for so long?
 
Jessica
 
Dear Jessica,

The angles are saying you don’t have to become anything. You just have to be. Be your fierce, wild, independent, intuitive, brilliant, talented, creative self and the life you want for yourself will manifest. The angles are telling me that you must recognize that your path is very different from the norm so don’t compare yourself to others.                                                                                                                                                           
Celebrate the fact that you are achieving your life’s purpose. In many ways, you are the person you want to become! Honor this by holding a celebration for yourself. Living authentically is a huge challenge in today’s society, yet you are doing this every day of your life successfully.

You mentioned in your email that you see the number 444 everywhere and you are aware that angles communicate to us through repetitive number sequences.  I go to the Joanne Sacred Scribes website to look up the meanings behind each number. The meanings that stand out to me in regards to your question is that you are encouraged to continue on your current path and that you have “nothing to fear in regards to your life, work, and divine life purpose”. 

You go through emotional peaks and valleys. When you’re at your peak, you feel connected to your angels and spirit guides. You’re tapped into your essence, feeling at one with source. Your creativity flows with ease, and miracles start to occur. Then you feel blocked when you enter the valleys. The dark, messy moments we all experience when self-doubt and fear rear their heads. I feel that your emotions shift rapidly as you’re very sensitive to the energy around you. You also walk with anxiety and depression as a result of your biochemistry.

 You have a diligent practice of self-care. Please congratulate yourself for having the discipline and awareness to face these emotions head on! What might be missing is your ability to make friends with your beautiful mess. Embrace the fact that this aspect of yourself is also a guiding force behind your creativity and you will be able to release it more readily. This is much easier said than done, and some things in life are too much to work through on your own. Your tendency is to retreat when you feel unbalanced. You would benefit from ongoing support from a psychotherapist, intuitive healer, or coach. The angels are showing me an image of someone taking your hand and providing loving support as you walk down a path in the woods. You respond with love and are able to return to your center with more ease.

Dear Sarah,

What is my purpose? Like, how do I find out what I am supposed to be doing with my life to feel like I have more purpose? I want to be successful, love what I do, and make a difference.

Katie

Dear Katie,

You are a kind, loving, and supportive person to your friends and family. The angels want you to know that you already have a great many successes to be proud of. Look into the eyes of your children to feel the reward of your greatest success, being an excellent mother. You raise your children in such a way that they feel safe to express their uniqueness and feel comfortable in who they are. They each have special talents which you encourage them to pursue, and this allows them the freedom to live life authentically. Motherhood is one aspect of your life’s purpose, and you have even more to offer the world.

I see you channeling your gifts as a caregiver into different career options which will result in you fulfilling your life purpose. I see you supporting a business enterprise that you believe in, working in schools with young children either as an employee or volunteer, providing one-to-one care for someone with special needs, or all of the above.   

I’d like to focus on showing you how to clear blocks towards fulfilling your life’s purpose rather than telling you more about what your life’s purpose is. We enter the world with a set of challenges to overcome in order to fulfill our highest potential. Your challenge is deepening self-love and overcoming a lifetime worth of anxiety and low self-esteem. This will give you the courage to step into the career that will be most fulfilling.
​
The messages for you are very similar to the messages I received for Jessica. You try to cope with your anxiety on your own, but you need someone outside yourself to help guide you. You also need to turn the love and support you give others towards yourself. Listen to the words of encouragement you offer your friends and family. Write them down and recite them to yourself. You can also recite several affirmations. The angels want you to focus on this affirmation specifically: “I am worthy of the love I give to others”. Also give yourself the same loving gestures you give others, such as buying little presents and cooking your favorite meal even if your family doesn’t like it. Just don’t tell them I said so!

Dear Sarah,
My husband and I are thinking about moving in a few years but we’re not sure if it will be doable financially. Is planning for this a good idea?
Chrissy
 
Dear Chrissy,

Yes, planning ahead for a move is a great idea! The angels have shown me that it is possible to get what we want when we believe that it’s attainable. For example, if you ask the universe for a villa on the coast of Italy and it feels too far-fetched to be a possibility, it won’t happen. However, if you ask the universe for a new house you can actually picture yourself in, there is no reason why you wouldn’t receive it.

 I’m so grateful for the opportunity to channel angels, because they provide me with a tailored action plan for you and your husband so you can manifest your desires.  The two of you should sit together in your bedroom in the evening and write about everything you want in your new house. Light a candle and play some uplifting music to create a celebratory atmosphere, as a reminder to have FUN engaging in this creative process.  Imagine what neighborhood your house is in, what it looks like on the outside, what kind of neighbors you want, the ideal location, whether or not you want the bathroom of my dreams (an ensuite with a jacuzzi bathtub of course). Include how many bedrooms you want, whether or not you want hardwood floors, etc… You want to be as specific as possible while at the same time being open to receiving something even better than what you imagine.

Carve out some time to get inspired by looking at different houses you love. I’m getting that your husband has an artistic side, like drawing or photography. Use his gift to as a manifestation tool as well! Perhaps he can draw the house you envisioned. The next step would be to create a vision board. A vision board is a visual way of manifesting a specific life goal by placing images or inspirational words/quotes on a poster board. You can cut pictures out of housing magazines of the type of houses you want, and interior designs that are most appealing to you. Place the vision board beside the mirror over your dresser so you can view it every day. Then do visualizations of your family living in the house.

I see that you and your husband have a very loving relationship and you have been able to create a wonderful life together so far. I’m intuiting that you really wanted the house you’re living in now and you were able to get it by focusing on your intentions together and manifesting accordingly. The two of you have also been able to provide for your family even though it has felt tight at times.

I know finances are a concern, but the universe always provides when we are willing to receive. Definitely consider different avenues of bringing in more money, but it’s important to let go of the ‘how’ and trust that the money will flow in both expected and unexpected ways. For you I see an increase of income through creative side projects you’re involved in. I also see you receiving a check from a family member as a gift. Call in Archangel Gabriel for help in increasing financial abundance. Buy a citrine, which also represents abundance and place it by your vision board. Imagine the angels lifting the words off the pages in your journal and carrying them off to the realm of creation. Remember to enjoy the process!
 
Dear Sarah,

I recently changed jobs and I’m feeling unfulfilled in my current position. I’m not sure what I should do at this point.

Thanks,
Yolanda

Dear Yolanda,

I’m sorry you’re feeling unfulfilled at your current work situation. The good news is that this feeling of discomfort is a signal for you to pursue your highest potential in your career. Discomfort stimulates growth.

I’m getting that you are very creative and worked in a leadership position in Rochester. Now you are working for someone else, which stifles your creativity because the person you work for isn’t receptive to your ideas. I see that you are a natural leader and you can use your expertise to create your own organization. I also see that you have knowledge that would beneficial for others to learn. Sharing this information with adults in a teaching capacity would be very fulfilling. Finally, I see that you are an excellent writer. Have you thought about writing a book? I have a clear image of a book with your name on the cover as the author. The book is about one of your professional endeavors and will inspire others to replicate your services.

Trying to figure out which avenue to work towards first can be overwhelming. I suggest meditating on which one feels the best to start with and remember you can start small. For example, if you wanted to work on your book first, you can write one paragraph per day just to get the creative juices flowing. Even if you don’t use what you write in your book, you’ll get yourself into the creative vibration that will be the catalyst in jump starting your project. Have fun with this! You have a lot to offer.

​Dear Sarah,
 
I have had many dreams that have come true and recently dreamed of someone with whom I was very close but she suddenly moved without even a goodbye. In the dream she was parked and loading her car very near my home but did not visit. How do I figure out if I have abilities?
Thanks,
A friend from Massachusetts
 
Dear A Friend from Massachusetts,
 
It is an honor for me to be able to answer your question. In a word, YES! You are psychic and I’m picking up that you’re an empath as well. You’re very sensitive and can feel other people’s emotions as if they were your own. I’m also getting that you were very intuitive since you were a young girl. You always felt connected to the energy of nature and I see that you have a special connection with animals.
 
In my opinion, everyone has psychic abilities. Most people experience déjà vu, which according to The Free Dictionary by Farlex means, “The illusion of having already experienced something actually being experienced for the first time”. I believe there are no illusions and déjà vu experiences are brief moments of psychic awareness.
 
The reason why most people are not able to access their psychic abilities, is because their psychic ‘muscle’, has not been exercised. It’s kind of like learning how to play an instrument. Anyone can learn, but some people are naturally more gifted. The only way to excel as a musician is to practice.
 
I believe that having psychic dreams are the beginning stages of developing psychic abilities. Our egos are kept at bay while we’re dreaming. The key for you is to trust that your psychic dreams are real. The angels are wanting you to trust, as you are slowly tapping into your psychic intuition while you are awake. You can utilize your gifts to enrich your life and the lives of others.  
 
According to Doreen Virtue, there are four ways of experiencing psychic intuition. Clairaudience, hearing actual words, clairsentience, receiving messages through your heart and body, claircognizance,, receiving psychic information through symbols and nonverbal expressions, and clairvoyance, being able to see into the future.
 
I’m seeing that you experience intuition through gut feelings which means you are clairsentient. Your prophetic dreams mean you are clairvoyant.  There are many avenues of psychic development if you are interested in being able to access your gifts at any time.
 
 
Dear Sarah,
How can I prevent the migraines I’m getting? Sometimes they are so bad I am incapacitated and it worries me.
Thanks,
Harriet
 
Dear Harriet,
 
I’m so sorry to hear that you have such terrible migraines!. Think of my advice as a useful adjunct to traditional medical care, so be sure to follow your medical doctor's recommendations.  I feel that you have done this already and are now seeking a more spiritual solution.
 
The angels are helping me identity the root cause of your migraines and specific actions you can take in order to heal. I’m getting that you are empath to the extreme. You experience emotions of those around you and the collective consciousness of humanity.
 
I’m getting that you have a belief that was ingrained in your mind as a child that you are responsible for saving other people emotionally. You witnessed a lot of pain and turmoil in your family which you were unable to process as a child. You figured the only way you could survive was by trying to make the pain go away by fixing it yourself. I believe you carried this idea with you throughout your life. You continued to feel other people’s pain, and your way of making sense of it was to sacrifice enormous amounts of energy so they would feel better.
 
Every day when you take a shower and wash your hair, say out loud that you are releasing negative energy that you may have absorbed in your head and imagine it flowing down the drain with the suds of your shampoo. Then imagine the water is bathing your head with warmth and healing light that is filling your entire body until you are entirely bathed in light.  Say out loud that you are releasing yourself from the responsibility of saving others. Ask Archangel Michael to help clear this life long thought pattern.
 
Take about ten minutes when you are feeling well to mentally capture the feeling of being migraine free. Pay close attention to the sensations in your head. You will experience a warm, almost tingling sensation. Then say, or ‘listen’ to the affirmations that come to you, such as “I am healthy, I am pain free, I believe in my body’s ability to heal, I am healing in mind, body, and soul”. Write these affirmations down, or better yet, record them on your phone.
 
If you get another migraine, remember the warm, tingly, sensation you experienced when you were pain free. Listen to the recording of your affirmations. Imagine Archangel Raphael, the angel of healing, bathing your body in emerald green light. This should reduce the duration of your migraine.
 
Thank you, A Friend from Massachusetts and Harriett for trusting me to answer your questions. I am truly honored.

I’d like to introduce myself as your new advice columnist. My goal is to help women navigate life’s challenges by using my skills as an angel channel and psychic medium, as well as my experience as a mental health therapist.

I’m thrilled and humbled to have the opportunity to share advice with you, the readers of this magazine. I can’t wait to get started, but first I’d like to share my story, so you can have some insight into my experience and outlook.

I was the type of child that had my entire adulthood planned out. By the age of 29, I was going to be married with two children, living in the suburbs of Rochester. As a young adult, I decided to follow along in my mother’s footsteps and become a social worker. This seemed like a great fit for me as I had a knack for helping others with their problems.

I worked SO hard to make that life a reality.  I went to graduate school and worked for years at mental health agencies. I studied my butt off and spent thousands of dollars so I could pass my licensing exam and finally earn my License in Clinical Social Work. I was about to open a private practice as a psychotherapist when a different calling set me on a new path.

Unlike many psychic mediums, I wasn’t fully aware of my gifts until I reached adulthood. But from a young age I had experiences where I dreamt or envisioned things before they happened. The dreams started when I was about 19 years old.
Some were completely irrelevant, like dreaming that my bike tire was flat and discovering the flat tire the next day. Others were shattering. The very worst one was a dream that my best friend in high school died. The dream was so detailed and vivid that I called her the next day to make sure she was all right.

Tragically, my friend died just a year and a half later. Every detail of my dream came true. I was told by another psychic that I had keen psychic abilities that I could access if I wanted, but I decided to continue on with my life.

Then four and a half years ago when I was working at a mental health agency, I had another terrifying dream. I learned the dream was about a traumatic event my client experienced over 20 years ago. I knew then that I needed to finally take charge of my psychic awareness. My mentor, Diane Ronner, taught me how to tap into my psychic intuition in a way that felt safe and accessible.

During the darkest and most painful part of my life in my early 20's, I saw little sparks of light that would shine for a second and then disappear. For a moment I thought that these sparks were celestial beings. Then I told myself that only enlightened, holy people could see such things. Someone also told me there was probably something wrong with my eye, so I stopped believing and the tiny sparks eventually disappeared.
Two-and-a-half years ago, I began seeing the sparks of light again at work. This time, I sensed intuitively that the sparks were angels.

When many people hear angels, they think religion. Angels are mentioned in Judeo-Christian texts, but I look at angels from a non-religious point of view. As I see them, angels are celestial beings that are here to help us navigate the difficulties of being human.

To test my thinking, I asked the angels for a sign of confirmation by playing Pachelbel’s Canon on Pandora. Moments later Pachelbel’s Canon came on. Then I asked them to play my favorite song on the radio when I was driving home from work. I turned on the radio and my favorite song was playing.

With gratitude I began channeling messages directly from angels for myself and my clients. As my ability to communicate with the angels grew stronger and my psychic mediumship skills developed, I felt limited in my work as a mental health therapist. It would have been unethical for me to tell a client that I saw angels around them or that their deceased grandmother was trying to relay messages.

As an intuitive healer, I have been able to help children, teens, and adults feel happier, ease physical pain, improve interpersonal relationships, boost self-esteem, and cope with losses. That being said, what I offer is not a substitute for mental health or medical treatment. I always recommend therapy/medical care for people who have complex issues to resolve.
​
Now let me explain a bit about my process for this column: I do not have to sit face to face with someone in order to pick up psychic information. I often give phone readings for clients across the country! When I receive a question, I will tap into the person and situation using my psychic intuition and channel messages from the angels. If appropriate, I’ll draw on my experience as a mental health counselor.
As we know, alleviating stress and emotional pain can decrease the chances of getting illnesses such as heart disease, so I feel that this column fits the Go Red for Women theme perfectly! I feel very blessed to be given this opportunity to help guide and support the amazing women of Rochester.

I’m looking forward to hearing from you and answering your questions! Please email your question to [email protected]. Type Ask the Angels in the subject line and indicate how I should address you (using your real name, just initials, etc…) in my response.
