As an artist, clairvoyant, healer, and human being, I’m in love with color.

I’m a little bit obsessed with color, which works well for me as an abstract painter and clairvoyant. I feel color, and even when I’m not painting or reading energy, I’m thinking of color. Ideas for colors to mix, experiment and work with in a painting show up all the time. I have my purple, blue, green, red, pink, yellow, orange … days. I see and feel the vibration I want, and I’m off on a new color adventure for a bit. I have complete permission to change this any time I like, I can shift gears and move from one color to another easily.

I’ve been looking at and thinking about self image pictures this week, notably having a clear view of oneself.

I started thinking about this energy, the themes and pictures around it, last week while exchanging readings with a fellow clairvoyant, a colleague and friend. There was an energy that came up in the reading: I saw pictures around old illusions cracking like the hall of mirrors in the famous scene from the Orson Welles 1947 film, ‘The Lady From Shanghai’.

What’s it like to teach others how to turn on and use their psychic abilities?

I get to work with people from all over the world who are interested in learning how to turn on their own psychic abilities in a safe way, with skilled teachers who’ve been practicing and working with their own clairvoyant abilities for many years. I love my job!

The demand to predict the future is intense, and often invalidating.

When you require predictions from outside of you for what is going to happen in the future, you invalidate your own spirit’s ability to see, know, and most importantly, create. You give away your power to create your future.

It’s not fun to be psychic if you don’t have control over your abilities.

When you can’t control how your psychic abilities are working, it can feel unsafe to be psychic. You might even feel like psychic abilities aren’t a positive creative thing to have in the first place.

Everyone is born with the ability to see energy.

The ability to see with the inner eye, which is also known as the 3rd eye, 6th chakra, clairvoyance - is available to all.

This is a creative ability, built into our energy system, part of our spiritual anatomy. It’s the software that comes with having a body. Many people have used this spiritual ability since they were born without thinking too much about it.

Just when I thought I’d finally been getting the hang of it, it’s time to take another leap forward in learning how to trust.

I am specifically talking about trusting myself, and trusting that I am supported in my life. In other words - knowing that no matter what, my spirit’s got me, and my body knows what to do. Learning to trust myself is a daily practice that began when I chose to make a commitment to my own growth and healing. Since that time, I’ve become quite used to trusting myself in so many important ways. When it’s time again for me to take a step forward, take some chances, and be vulnerable - I realize I’ve got another round of trusting to do.

Have you ever gone through a time when suddenly you can see what’s in front of you more clearly?

I’ll never forget the first time I saw through some of what had been making it difficult for me to see what was right in front of me.

I was in my 4th grade Catholic school classroom, sitting in the midst of an emotional battlefield happening between a nun and another child my age. It didn’t feel safe to be in a body in that room during this battle. But then I felt as if a filter that had been blocking my ability to see what was happening, suddenly lifted

This recording is a conversation I recently had with a group of Art of the Seer students, who had just finished their training.

These students had just completed a year long program in which they were learning how to turn on and work with their clairvoyant abilities, and use these abilities within themselves, and in their own lives.

Over the course of a year, each student in this class attended 42 clairvoyant classes and about 84 student reading labs. They showed up for group events online, attended growth counseling sessions, buddy read outside of class time, and meditated every day.

As an art student many years ago, I practiced the art of learning to see in a whole new way.

In my studio art classes, I learned how to use a view finder, which is basically a piece of paper with a hole cut out in it. It can be any size, small or large. You look through the hole that you cut, and the frame around the hole blocks out anything that isn’t what you are looking at. This helps you focus and see more clearly, maybe even discover new things or compositions you hadn’t seen or considered yet.

I grew up an enthusiastic reader, and spent many happy hours with my nose in a book.

I’m grateful to have had parents who encouraged my love of reading, and had it for themselves too. Our house was a home filled with books and permission to create. From the beginning, reading books sparked my curiosity and sense of wonder, as well as my creativity.

If you want to have a more colorful life, learn how to use your clairvoyant ability.

Clairvoyance is the spiritual ability to see energy clearly. You were born with this - it’s the ability to see more than what is just in front of you, or presented to you. Clairvoyance makes it possible for you to see deep into a situation or energy, including your own, and to see the truth that might not be visible otherwise.
