What is clairvoyant counseling?

“Counseling” is the privilege of assisting normal functional people handle the decisions, opportunities, and frustrating difficulties that affect everyone. It is the process of sorting out what is happening with you and how you feel about it; a space set aside to examine, honor, and concentrate on fundamental concerns. Core self examination brings development, for we are not here to simply live a life, but to pause and wonder why.

“Clairvoyant” is the use of inner vision and knowingness during that journey, embracing guidance from Source. This helps remind us we have the choice to act, rather than react, remaining mired in old patterns. We are capable of deciding what it true for us, even if it contradicts the conditioning of our past.

How can clairvoyant counseling help me?

The purpose of a reading is to identify those areas where you are struggling, unhappy, dissatisfied, stuck, or confused. I offer a perspective from an “energetic” viewpoint, considerate of our inherent state of Grace, including agreements for this lifetime, as well as past incarnations, and karma.

I provide insight which does not come through the typical sensory inputs, often disclosing alternatives and explanations which can engender clarity, direction, and healing. Our work together will focus on understanding, empowerment, and self-determination.

You already have all your own answers; my feedback simply affirms and validates that you do. You should feel good about the reading, even if you learn something you did not want to hear. Reverence and seriousness are necessary parts to any Sacred Art. Yet so are joy and humor, bringing us closer to a place of balance and peace in interacting with the world.

What can I expect during a session?

I avoid using the word “psychic” because it can make people uncomfortable, conjuring up images of curses and gypsy fortune tellers. You might find yourself nervous with what I do. This is understandable, based on our upbringing. The most difficult step for most people is actually scheduling an appointment. It helps to relax a bit and open up to a new adventure, one which is intimately personal.

I access my clairvoyance and unite with higher self from a trance state, which means I’m meditating while counseling. The aura is the electro magnetic field surrounding our bodies, holding imprints of our thoughts, experiences, and state of our health. The chakras are subtle energy centers where our spiritual bodies interface with our physical bodies. I am able to identify different frequencies of these aspects as color and to interpret the vibration of that color as it pertains specifically to you.

I begin by establishing the color running in your crown chakra which is the seat of knowingness. I utilize this “tool” to “match” you by setting my own crown chakra at approximately the same color. This enables me to “tune in” to you, much like dialing the call letters of a radio station, and my energy field begins to resonate with yours, allowing me to “see”. The techniques I mastered at the Berkeley Psychic Institute
permit me to clear my own aura as I work.

How should I prepare for a reading?

An effective reading requires we both participate It is important to set how long you would like your session to last and to define the issues you would like to address. To help make your reading more relevant, prepare a list of written questions beforehand.

If you are openly honest about the circumstances of a situation and what you want to know, I am better able to provide clear responses with specific recommendations. My intent is to encourage your abiding sense of hope, sovereignty, and worthiness.

Give yourself the luxury of some quiet time before and after your appointment to settle in and incorporate the event. Often, the revelations obtained in a reading can be startling, profound, and illuminating.

What about forecasting the future?

Life is an ever evolving dance, a partnership between us and the universe. Events do not stand by themselves; they are linked to habits, thoughts, and the ways we treat ourselves.

What-will-be is the result of the current momentum in our lives, set by these motivations, intentions, and beliefs. Intuition recognizes patterns and rhythms which can be projected on a timeline, revealing probable outcomes.

Yet, there are an infinite number of ways to approach life's challenges. The future is not fixed---timing is a state of readiness, not the ticking of a clock.; Anything we are creating, we can transmute, and thus influence the possibilities of manifestation.

In reality, why something could happen might be more crucial than whether or not it actually occurs. Such realization allows us freedom and the impetus to change. Destiny never counteracts free will.

Can you give me the winning lottery numbers?

Precognition is not one of my gifts. If it were, I'd be a millionaire now. Random acts of chance are not the same as probable outcomes, based on through lines of energy.

How often should I seek clairvoyant counseling?

Personal growth requires individual effort. I view my role as a facilitator, but do not wish to foster dependence on my opinion. I esteem your integrity and competence to make appropriate choices.

I should not become a surrogate for your discernment or a replacement of your own best judgment. A span of three to six months between consultations is reasonable, unless to further explore a point from a recent session.

Is my consultation confidential?

Every reading is a sacred obligation. I am a licensed minister, bound by a theological sanction for invoking the absolute protection of religious confidentiality.

I give pastoral care concerning spiritual matters and do not claim credentialed knowledge of the psychotherapeutic disciplines. I value the expertise of these practices and endeavor to work cooperatively with mental health care providers.

Clairvoyant Counseling is not a substitute for regular psychotherapy or other kinds of professional advice such as medical, financial, or legal, nor intended to supersede them. I insist all my clients retain other assistance when the help they need is not within the scope of my training.

Is clairvoyant counseling right for me?

In the end, only you can decide whether my services would be advantageous. If you are interested in exploring the realms of intuition, it is best to start by respecting your own talents. Trust what you know and how you feel. Go with your gut.

Clairvoyant counseling isn’t for everyone, all the time. In your Heart of HEARTS beats the Truth of your Being. If you are drawn to this work, wonderful; if not, I would kindly ask that you pass a link to this website alog to someone who might benefit.

Can you communicate with my Spirit Guides or Angels?

I have the ability to communicate with Beings without (Physical) Bodies, which includes Spirit Guides and Angels, as well as Loved Ones that have passed. We can focus on this area during a session if you like.

Can you communicate with animals?

Our animal friends, and their gifts in loving us unconditionally, are one of the greatest blessings on this earth. I have done readings for pets and their people with mixed results.

It is often difficult to distinguish the energy of a devoted companion from that of his or her human counterpart. They match us, and heal us, taking on our burdens in an attempt to relieve us of pain and suffering.

Because of this, I limit such readings, and only do them under special circumstances. If you are seeking a reading for your animal friend, please contact me beforehand, and I will advise whether I feel my abilities will be of service.

Can you tell me about my Past Lives?

This earth plane dimensional is a meant to be a school for our Soul Evolvement and Spiritual Advancement. Each incarnation is geared to lessons we seek to learn. As in any endeavor, we are better at some things than others.

For most of us, at any given time, in a particular situation, we are working the energy of karma from some "past life"---a lesson we, as Spirit, don't feel we got the last time around. In my experience, rarely, if ever, is this lifetime predominately overshadowed by the energy of a former incarnation.

In seeking to get to the core of an issue, I may look at the influence from past lives if it seems appropriate. Of course, if you seek communication in this area, we can explore the past life energy at work in this lifetime.

What is a chakra?

The chakras are subtle energy centers where our spiritual bodies interface with our physical bodies.

What do the colors in my aura or chakras mean?

We are taught to agree when we perceive a particular band in the energetic spectrum to call it by a given name, for example: red. However, we have no way of really ascertaining if we are seeing the SAME color we are calling red.

I use color to establish the frequency of a given energy. The color red, in and of itself, holds no inherent meaning. I read color as it pertains specifically to you, in the context of the rest of your subtle energy field.

What is an aura?

The aura is the electro magnetic field surrounding our bodies, holding the imprints of our thoughts, experiences, and state of our health. I like to think of it as our energetic storage closet---the place we put all our stuff until we're ready to deal with it.

Do you channel?

Yes and no. In the classical sense (as it has become accepted to mean), I can channel, and have, but don't anymore. I choose not to be the vehicle for the indwelling energy of discarnate beings, as I regard my physical body as the temple for my Soul. It is meant to house my energy and mine alone.

I've learned channeling, without proper training and the use of safe techniques, can age, and eventually destroy, the physical body. I do communicate with such beings, but don't abdicate the seniority of my own Knowingness in deference to any answers they may share. I make my own decisions, based on my own information, by connecting to my Higher Self.

When I go into trance and I read, I am matching you, and your connection to your Higher Self. In this sense, I am "channeling" information from YOUR place of Knowingness.

Can you recommend any books to aid me on my Path?

The list is so long I had to build several web pages! Here's a sort of index:
