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’.

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

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.

Clairvoyance is the psychic ability to see clearly.

Someone practicing the art of clairvoyance can learn to use this brilliant spiritual tool to see themselves clearly - with compassion, forgiveness, and love. The greatest clairvoyant ability is to see yourself clearly.

Ever since childhood, I’ve been deeply committed to having my creativity in my life.

As a young woman freshly graduated from art school, I created a fashion and costume business, which was my dream. I was making a living as an artist and designer, and hanging out with artists of all kinds. It was fascinating and fun, and exactly what I’d set out to do.

But I was often invalidated and insecure about myself and my creations, and had the feeling that I wasn’t good enough.

As a psychic teacher, people often ask me which books I read to learn about chakras, the aura, and psychic abilities.

I didn’t learn about these things from reading a book, so I offer my next best advice: ‘if you really want to learn about chakras and read auras, take the clairvoyant training’ I say. Yes, but which books, they ask, surely there have got to be books that will help me be psychic.

You already are psychic. It is helpful to know that you cannot learn how to give a psychic reading from a book.

For your entire life you were taught to seek out those in the know: experts, teachers, authorities of all kinds.

This isn’t a bad thing to do – we all benefit from getting help when we need it, or having someone point us in the right direction to find what we need.

However, if you need someone else to give you permission to live your life the way you choose, and you’re over the age of 18, your ability to create for yourself is invalidated. If you need an authority to tell you what is possible, it will be hard for you to know your own answers, or to discover any of them on your own.

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. If you get stuck in believing that others outside of yourself have this power, they will gladly choose for you.

Each of us has dreams, desires, and wishes.

When you show up to do the work of becoming you, you put your energy back into yourself, and into your life.

This is when you invest in your own future, as well as your present. When you do this, you are able to perform miracles, such as healing yourself from events in your past that have lingered, places where you left parts of yourself behind.

When you release your energy from those places, you can have it back now, where it can really do some good for you.

When you choose to believe in yourself, you’re ignoring the status quo that says you require approval from others in order to proceed with your belief in you.

Following the rules (someone else’s rules) isn’t on your agenda. Your spirit is self employed, and you’re following your internal truth. You’re not taking memos from others. You evolve this way, just by choosing to believe in you.

A belief in yourself is a positive ‘yes!’ to your spirit and its ability to move you in your life. Trust and faith are present and working their magic

It’s your spirit that makes it possible for you to stand out, and be uniquely you.

If you thought it was the attention from others that made you stand out and be seen – as in how many fans you have, and how popular you are, you may want to check again. Your popularity in the outside world can be very separate from the truth of who you are, deep within.

There’s no other like you, you are one of a kind – and when you find the courage to be the unique you that you are, you can create your true life.
