Breathe Love & Magic

Recently Kim Kardashian took and failed the California bar exam. Sorry, Kim. And her reaction was, “All those psychics who told me I’d pass are liars.” What? You Can’t Win the Blame Game Kim’s frustration and disappointment are totally understandable. Failure stinks! But blaming the psychics for this mishap? That part makes no sense. So, let’s break this down. Psychics give a snapshot in time of what might happen. Readings reveal possibilities, not fixed outcomes. Not sure what she was told about timing. Did they say she’d pass the first time… or simply that she’d pass? Those are very different predictions. If she passes next time, those psychics will be correct. One failed attempt doesn’t cancel the larger perspective on passing the bar. Maybe they weren’t specific enough. Timing is the toughest part of psychic work. Many believe spirit doesn’t follow linear time the way humans do. Meanwhile, several scientific theories rooted in Einstein’s work suggest all moments may exist simultaneously.That creates a challenge when people ask, “When will I meet my love?” or “When will this happen?”And to be honest, there are some things spirit just won’t tell you because it will interfere with the lesson you are learning. What did Kim’s own intuition say? It’s unclear whether she checked in with her inner knowing or handed full responsibility to the psychics. Let’s be honest — who wants to tell Kim Kardashian she’s going to fail? Psychics are human. They want to please, especially when reading for someone influential. Even if a psychic sensed she might struggle, delivering a message like that isn’t easy and can feel ethically tricky.Personally, I wouldn’t give a simple yes-or-no answer either. I’d redirect the question toward something more supportive and actionable like, “What do I need to know to pass? Is anything blocking me?” That’s far more helpful than predicting an outcome. Who is actually responsible for passing the bar? Not the psychics! Kim herself is the only one responsible for the outcome of her test taking. Their predictions (right or wrong) didn’t cause her to fail. If she took encouraging readings as an excuse to study less, that’s her choice and her consequence.Between study habits, stress, test preparation, and her reliance on AI tools, many factors play into exam performance. And remember: only 55% of first-time California bar exam takers pass. She has plenty of company in her experience. Perhaps this is a life lesson in humility. Whatever Kim is meant to learn from this setback, it’s her karma, her growth, and her responsibility. It sure isn’t up to the psychics. Readings Are Not Short Cuts Psychic insight is never meant to be a shortcut, but used to shine a little light where life feels foggy. When you rely on predictions instead of your own inner knowing, disappointment is almost guaranteed. Trusting psychic guidance is best when done as a companion to your own inner wisdom. Don’t let external information replace your own inner knowing. Blaming the psychics misses the bigger picture. Intuition and spiritual guidance are invitations to deepen self-trust and knowledge rather than promises for specific outcomes. Life is shaped by preparation, effort, emotion, energy, timing, and yes… a bit of magic. This whole story is a powerful reminder that when you hand over your power to someone else’s prediction, you lose your connection to your own power. Intuition works best when you stay accountable, grounded, and willing to do the work required for what you want. So whether you’re taking an essential exam or facing a major life decision, let this be your takeaway – Trust your gut, seek guidance if you want it, but keep your hands on the wheel. That’s where your strength and your success truly come from. The post Don’t Blame the Psychics, Kim Kardashian! appeared first on Intuitive Edge.

If you’re on a spiritual path, you’ve probably noticed certain number patterns popping up again and again. They’re called Angel Numbers. Angel Numbers Are Not Random These are more than random occurences. They provide messages from the Universe, your guides, angels, or your higher self. Think of them as gentle nudges saying, “I’ve got you and here’s some guidance.” The term angel numbers was popularized by Doreen Virtue in her 2005 book Angel Numbers. But the idea of numbers holding spiritual power goes way back. The ancient Greeks believed in the divine significance of numbers, and Pythagoras saw reality itself as shaped by numerical vibrations. Everything in the universe is energy, and numbers carry their own energy and meaning. Doreen simply built on this, suggesting that certain sequences are messages from guardian angels. When you think about it, it’s like a modern extension of ancient numerology. Evidence of Angelic Guidance Angel numbers are very much like supportive reminders that you’re never alone. The Universe uses patterns, synchronicities, and signs to communicate with you and offer guidance. I call this “spiritual breadcrumbing” but not like in dating where you aren’t getting quality time from someone. This is a great use of breadcrumbs because the Universe leads you one step at a time to your highest good. But this only works if you pay attention. When you see a number sequence, pause for a moment. Ask yourself, “What was I thinking or feeling just now?” Or, “What might my soul be trying to tell me?” Sometimes these numbers are wake-up calls disguised as simple coincidences. The Brink of Transformation Last week, I took a three-day vacation with my husband to Lake Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire. We stopped in Wolfeboro, a tiny town with two metaphysical shops. In the first one, we didn’t buy anything, but there was a small plaque with the number 555. My husband picked it up and started reading about it, which surprised me since he’s not usually into spirituality. When I asked if he liked what he was reading about that number, he said yes. Then I asked if he’d like me to paint a 555 plaque for him, and he said yes again! The number 555 is about transformation and he is certainly on the brink and headed in that direction. That moment reminded me how these numbers show up for all of us, sometimes in the most unexpected ways. Inspired, I want to share some of the most common angel numbers, what they mean with you and activities you can do to apply their energy.

If you doubt your ability to hear intuitive guidance, this Question & Answer episode will clear that up, revealing essential secrets to trust your intuition. Have you ever wondered if that quiet inner nudge was really your intuition—or just your imagination running wild? You’re not alone. I hear this question all the time, and honestly, it’s one of my favorites because it opens the door to how our intuitive guidance really works. Q: What Exactly Is Intuition? Intuition is a quiet inner system to access your own guidance or inner wisdom. It doesn’t shout, “Turn left now!” or flash neon signs. In general, it’s more like a gentle knowing that lands in your body which is steady, calm, and quietly certain. It might show up as a voice your hear or a vision you see. You might have a sense of knowing or something you feel in your body. These are actually the four “clairs” including clairaudient – hearing, clairvoyant – seeing, claircognizant – knowing, and clairsentient – feeling. Now how do you know it’s not your intuition? It could be wishful thinking or anxious overthinking, when your body feels jittery and anxious. Your inner guidance expands you, and everything else constricts your energy. Ignoring Spirit Messages Sitting on a park bench with a guy on date #4, he was talking about all the things we could do together that summer. I was loving it thinking he was really into me. Then out of nowhere, I heard a loud clera voice saying, “You are not special to him.” I was shocked and attrributed this to my own fears. Unfortunately, it was a warning and 100% true. I never saw him again after that day. But I didn’t listen to the loud and clear message from spirit which was really too bad, since this broke my heart. I must say, this was a good lesson in respecting a warning message and tursting my intuition. Now, I always pay attention to the warnings I receive. Thankfully, this doesn’t happen often. But it’s a great example of how your higher self, angels, spirit guides or even your ancestors watch over and try to guide you. Q: Is Intuition for “Spiritual People” Or Can Anyone Access It? Everyone has intuition. Truly. It’s not for some spiritual elite club, but part of being human. Science even backs this up. Turns out women’s brains are wired for rapid, intuitive decision-making, blending logic, intuition, and emotion seamlessly. Not only that but women have more connective tissue between the two hemispheres which is why we are naturally more intuitive than men! That’s why it’s called women’s intuition, right? What makes the difference is practice. When you practice, you sharpen the signal and increae your skillfor getting the messages and guidance. It’s like turning up the volume on a radio station that’s been playing all along. People Who Use Intuition Have 9 Huge Advantages Q: How Do You Tell the Difference Between Intuition and Fear or Ego? This might be easier than you think. If you ask about taking a new job, pay attention to how you feel in your body. What do you notice? Do you feel good,comfortable and at ease? That would be intuitive guidance. Or do you have a pitt in your stomach or feel anxiety? Fear tends to be loud and stand out. Your ego overanalyzes, criticizes, and says things like “this is too good to be true.” Intuition feels like quiet confidence. It simply offers the truth of your own inner wisdom. You can feel it in your body as peace, clarity, or grounded energy. Q: Why Does Intuition Feel Harder as You Get Older? Ah, midlife. You’re wiser, yes, but your brain has a lot more experience and responsibilities. You also have had more time with analyzing and using your logic. Both of these tend to muffle those subtle intuitive nudges. No worries. Intuition never leaves you. It might get quieter until you slow down and decide to listen again. When you do that, your inner wisdom will reappear adn step up to provide the guidance  you seek, just like when you were younger. Q: What Does Intuition Feel Like in the Body? For many, it’s a calm certainty, gentle goosebumps, or energy rushes. Some people can tingles in their hands. It can be so subtle that you might miss it if you’re not paying full attention. The body is your tuning fork for your truth and wisdom. It’s your job to notice how it feels to you in your body and then watch out for that occurring, letting you know it’s time to trust your intuition or messages from spirit. Q: What about Signs from Spirit? Signs are best usesd as a confirmation. You can ask your spirit guides for a sign of confirmation if you’re headed in the right direction. If you see that sign, then you know your in alignment with your highest good. Spirit loves to provide you with symbols. A feather on your path, a song lyric that lands perfectly, or a sudden flash of warmth in your heart. These gifts or coincidences show up often and easily. The more you notice them, the more they appear. I recommend choosing the sign you want to see, otherwise you might be left wondering what the sign is and never know for sure. And you don’t always have to use the same sign. Feel free to change it up. Just let your guides know what you want to see. Q: How To Make Intuition Part of Your Daily Life? Start small. Ask simple questions, notice the sensations that follow, and track your intuitive hits. Keep a quick journal or voice memo of what you sensed and how it turned out. Having a track record allows you to build confidence in your inner wisdom. In addition, gratitude amplifies the energy. Be sure to thank your intuition when it gets something right (which is more often than you might think). Over time, intuition will become your natural navigation system. You won’t have to ask, “Is this intuition because you’ll just know. Additional Questions & Topics What’s the best way to receive intuitive guidance? I hear my intuition, but fear and logic take over. What can I do? I’ve taken a lot of classes and read a lot of books, but still not good at intuiton The benefits of having an Intuitive Buddy Divination method – ask a question and crack open a book Start noticing the little nudges that are like a trail of breadcrumbs. You’ll hear it all of this and more when you listen to the podcast! Intuition is the most spiritual powerful tool you have. And, it’s already woven into who you are and is literally waiting for you to access it, trust it, and lead you home to yourself.

Every October, witches pop up everywhere with pointy hats, broomsticks, and black cats. It’s fun on the surface, but beneath all that playfulness lies a deeper story. A Centuries-Old Fear For many intuitive, spiritual, creative women, the word witch still stirs something ancient. It can be a mix of fascination and fear. If you’ve ever dimmed your light, held your tongue, or second-guessed your intuition, so you wouldn’t stand out too much, you may be feeling the effects of the Witch Wound. I never thought I had this. But after a recent healing session with my friend and Holy Fire Reiki practitioner Cindy Bain, I discovered layers of subconscious fear I hadn’t known were there.. She found fears quietly shaping how safe I felt being fully visible in my magic. So let’s talk about what the Witch Wound really is, where it comes from, and how we can finally heal it. Origin of the Word “Witch” The word witch comes from the Old English wicce (female) and wicca (male), first used around 890 CE. It originally meant a person who worked with the unseen world. It was the name for someone skilled in herbs, healing, divination, and nature’s cycles. There was nothing dark or sinister about it. But as Christianity spread across Europe, suspicion of independent spiritual practices grew. Healing, astrology, and herbalism were once honored skills of wise women. But, they became dangerous. By the 16th century, “witch” took on a fearful meaning, and what followed were centuries of persecution, mistrust, and pain. Before she became the outcast, the witch was the wise woman. She was a midwife, healer, and community guide whose wisdom came from nature and Spirit, not the church. As patriarchal systems tightened control, the wise woman’s independence became defiance and her intuition became a threat. However, she never quite disappeared. Instead, she went underground, hiding in stories, in the land, and, I believe, in our DNA. Past Life Trauma I’ve seen echoes of those times in my own soul history. In one lifetime, I was a herbalist living at the edge of a village. People avoided me unless they needed my help. I was lonely, but I always served when requested. During a healing meditation in this lifetime, I saw that woman. She was cloaked, hidden, and separate. The woman leading the session suggested I let the cloak fall. When I did, I felt an energetic ripple travel through time, releasing emotions from all the lives that followed. In another life, I was a wealthy woman in 1400s Italy, practicing ritual magic with a group of people. When soldiers stormed in, we were all executed. Watching that memory, I heard a voice say, “That’s what happens when you play with power.” For centuries, my soul equated power with danger. That’s an illusion many women still carry today. But these stories aren’t unique to me. They’re part of our collective consciousness. What Is the Witch Wound? The Witch Wound is a deep energetic imprint passed down through generations. It’s the lingering memory of persecution, fear, and suppression of feminine wisdom. That’s what happens when intuition, healing, and connection to Spirit are condemned. Historically, this wound was reinforced by religion and culture, especially after the publication of The Malleus Maleficarum in 1486 — the “Hammer of Witches.” This was a handbook for persecuting and prosecuting women for heresy. The impact was enormous, embedding fear and distrust of female power throughout society and the collective consciousness. Over centuries, the Witch Wound became internalized. It still whispers through our subconscious in phrases like: “Don’t rock the boat.” “Tone it down.” “Be nice.” “Don’t be too mystical or intuitive.” “Don’t be too much.” It’s an ancient echo reminding us that visibility once meant danger. How the Wound Appears This wound doesn’t always look like fear. Sometimes it hides as perfectionism, over-preparing, or hesitation to share your gifts. It can surface as doubt that appears out of nowhere. Or a quiet inner voice asking, “What if they think I’m crazy? What if it’s not safe?” These patterns don’t mean you’re weak. They demonstrate that your body remembers what your mind has forgotten. The Witch Wound lives in the subconscious and in the energy field, quietly influencing how safe you feel expressing your power. Collectively, it also appears in how society still views spiritual women. Words like “witchy” or “crazy” are used to dismiss intuition. Society still celebrates logic but questions inner knowing. The Witch Wound is about restoring balance between the rational and the mystical, the masculine and the feminine, and the head and heart. Ancestral Threads Many women carry this wound through their family line, especially the maternal side. It can show up as generations of women who stayed quiet, over-gave, or never felt safe resting or taking a break. Even if your ancestors weren’t persecuted directly, they lived under the same cultural conditioning that taught women to fear and mistrust their own wisdom. When you heal, you free your ancestors as well. They cheer you on from the spirit world, This time, you can do things differently. Recognize the Signs You might have the Witch Wound if: You hesitate to share your spiritual experiences for fear of judgment. You downplay your intuition or call it coincidence. You feel drawn to healing or energy work but never quite feel “ready.” You feel a tug-of-war between wanting to be seen and wanting to stay safe. You sense a deep connection or aversion to the word witch itself. However the wound shows up, its asking for love, not analysis. How to Heal the Witch Wound Healing this wound isn’t about fixing yourself because you are not broken. It’s about clearing the energetic dust, so your light can shine again. Here are a few powerful practices that came through the Akashic Records: 1. Clear Your Energy Field for Seven Days. Each day, cleanse your aura with intention. Smudge with herbs, bathe with rose petals or sea salt, meditate, or let the wind carry away old energy. As you do, affirm: “I release fear, persecution, and suppression. I reclaim my light, my power, and my voice.” 2. Rewrite Your Past-Life Stories. If you remember a lifetime that ended in trauma, revisit it through meditation. Ask your soul, What if this could end differently? When I re-entered my Italian lifetime, I invited the soldiers sent to kill us to join the ritual instead. They dropped their swords and stood in the circle of light. That single act of compassion healed the pattern across all my lifetimes. 3. Receive Golden Light. In meditation, ask Spirit for healing. Imagine golden-white light raining down on you, forming a glowing sphere in your hands. Place it in your heart and let it expand through your body and aura until you’re filled with shimmering light. Feel it dissolving the residue of fear and restoring your innate wisdom. 4. Honor Your Body. Move, dance, breathe, and affirm, “It’s safe for me to be all of who I am.” The body holds ancestral memory and the key to freedom. When you ove iwth intention, you can energetically release what no longer serves you. 5. Heal in Sisterhood. Persecution of witches isolated women, but sisterhood heals! Gather with other women who see you, speak your truth, and hare similar stories. Each time you do this, you help one another remember it’s safe to connect with the divine feminine and shine again. 6. Reclaim Everyday Magic. Light candles, talk to your plants, pull oracle cards, or pray under the full moon. There are so many small rituals to remind your spirit that intuition is no longer dangerous. It’s truly divine. Remember the Wise Woman Within The Witch Wound was never really about witchcraft. It was about fear of women’s wisdom, intuition, and power and supression of these skills. But those days are over. Women are remembering now that “witch” and “wise woman” once meant the same thing. Every time you trust your intuition, you empower yourself and rewrite history. Each time you speak your truth, you heal your lineage. And every time you choose love over fear, you dissolve the old repression and silence. This Halloween, let’s celebrate the return of the wise women, the mystics, and the healers claiming their divine feminine powers freely and rising once more. Because the Witch Wound isn’t your weakness. It’s your initiation into wholeness. Let me close with a phrase I never use but it seems completely appropriate for this episode: Blessed be.

Energetic healing is essential for everyone, even for experienced meditators. Clearing blocks makes room for new energy, while it restores clarity, balance, and higher vibration. This is also true for fans of personal growth and empowerment work. Always Upleveling If you’re constantly bringing in new, higher-frequency energy, where does it all go? How does it integrate if there’s no space for it? As you evolve, certain patterns, habits, and energies simply no longer serve you. So, they need to be released. Here’s the thing – clearing energy is just as vital as bringing in new energy. Without it, all that growth can feel stuck or heavy. This week, I had the pleasure of talking with Cheryl Stelte, a spiritual coach, master healer, bestselling author, and expert in energy work. We talked about the transformative power of energetic healing, chakra work, and what it truly takes to elevate your vibration and live in alignment with your purpose. Who Needs More Clearing? Cheryl shared an interesting trend she’s noticed. More mature men, in their 60s and 70s, are diving into spiritual growth and energy work. Some of the people she’s worked with have been meditating and working with higher energies for over 50 years. You might think that would mean their energy fields are pristine, right? Not quite. Cheryl observed murky “gray areas” in their energy fields. These spots represent subconscious blocks that dim their inner light. It’s a reminder that healing and growth are lifelong processes. Turns out energetic healing isn’t just for beginners. It’s for anyone ready to restore vibrancy, alignment, and ease in life. The ACE Method Cheryl shared her three-step ACE method, a simple but powerful approach to clearing subconscious blocks. A is for Accessing. Start by connecting with the emotions trapped in your energy field. Deep belly breathing is the key here—it’s like a spotlight into your energy, helping you identify what’s blocking you. C is for Clearing. Once you identify the stuck emotions, continue breathing deeply to release them. Pay attention to the physical sensations that arise—they often give you clues about other layers of energy that need attention. E is for Empowering. This is the magic that follows clearing. It’s not just a mindset shift—it’s realignment with your energetic self. You emerge lighter, clearer, and more connected to your natural flow of energy. Regular sessions of energetic healing amplify this effect, helping blocks release faster and more completely. Feeling the Shift When you remove energy blocks, you start living in alignment with your higher self—and you can feel it. Life flows easier, decisions feel clearer, and even your interactions with others can feel more effortless. Higher vibration is more than a buzzword. I’m talking about experience and here’s hwat you might notice: Less mental chatter and worry More ease moving through challenges A sense of inner lightness and clarity Feeling more present and connected to your intuition Greater inner peace Cheryl recounted a wonderful client story. After just three clearing sessions, the woman released worry and shifted her perspective! She realized freedom wasn’t about changing circumstances, but cultivating a state of inner peace. This is exactly what this powerful energetic healing can help you achieve. Emotions Are Energy Messengers One of the most important pieces of Cheryl’s work is acknowledging emotions. Whether it’s anger, sadness, or fear, lean into these feelings. Doing this will move the energy instead of allowing it stagnate. Suppressed emotions often point to deeper issues, while conscious acknowledgment can lead to breakthroughs and personal growth. This is why energetic healing is such a powerful tool. It moves stuck energy, so your mind, body, and spirit can realign. Let’s talk about the David Hawkins Map of Consciousness which shows emotions in a hierarchy based on Hertz frequency. For example, if you’re feeling angry, that is actually several steps above others vibrationally such as shame, grief, or even fear. Why does this matter? Some people fear their anger and want to avoid feeling that. Yet, it can actually propel you forward into action to cahnge your life. I’m not saying anger is good for you, but it is on the scale and does have some temporary advantages. This is just one example of how your emotions are worth examining and experiencing, so you can move up the Map of Consciousness. Your Purpose Might Be Simple Many people search for “their purpose” as if it’s one grand achievement. Cheryl reminds you that purpose isn’t about titles or accolades. Instead it’s deeply personal and varies for each individual. Your purpose could be experiencing simple joys, small acts of nurturing, or profound contributions. What matters is alignment with your true self. Cheryl’s work helps people uncover and embrace their unique purpose, whether that’s caring for others, developing untapped talents, or simply showing up as their authentic self. Practicing Energetic Empowerment You don’t need a guru to start shifting your energy. When you face discomfort, start with the ACE method. Feel your emotions, breathe deeply, and release what no longer serves you. It’s simple, yet incredibly effective for moving energy and refining your alignment. Your journey is yours alone. Each step, whether small or transformative, clears the path for more clarity, ease, and vibrancy in your life. For those ready to explore this kind of work, Cheryl can guide you in clearing blocks, reconnecting with your inner power, and discovering the purpose waiting to be fully realized. And remember, I also offer Bioenergetic Clearings. I can do a general clearing or you can get specific including clearings for the chakras, relationships, ancestors and the physical body. Each one will help lighten your energy field and renew your vitality.

This time of year, with Halloween around the corner, the veil thins which makes it so much easier to connect with the other side. Maybe you want to talk with family members who have passed on, or other friends and loved ones. This is a great reminder that death is not the end – you go on living! Marla explained how after passing, you’re not up living in the clouds but instead, still here on earth. However, you’re in a different dimension that’s a higher frequency. That’s why most people can’t see those who have passed on. However, Marla’s experience is that these souls often stay close to watch over and support you. They are listening, so feel free to talk with them! I told a few stories about seeing spirits from my family. I also shared a personal session I had with Marla and what my mom told her. Then how it came to be in my life that same day! The message from my mom came to pass! Marla’s stories about her mediumship are fun and heart-warming.

Have you ever felt the wind whip with such force it took your breath away? Or watched a sudden gust shake the trees? That’s the power of the wind element, which is a messenger, a mirror, and a guide. The wind is invisible, yet it moves everything it touches. It’s wild, unpredictable, and deeply intelligent. If you listen, the air can reveal invisible currents within yourself including your thoughts, emotions, and intuition. Air represents change, inspiration, and freedom and is the language of your soul when you listen. What Is Air About? Across many spiritual traditions, air is bigger than the oxygen you breathe. It represents the realm of mind and communication, the sacred breath that animates all living things. While earth grounds, water feels, and fire ignites, air moves. It’s the element of ideas, intuition, and new beginnings. These phrases show how connected wind and the mind really are: Winds of change Fresh ideas Head in the clouds Brainstorming ideas Movement is the essence of air because it never stays still. A soft breeze can turn into a gale in seconds, reminding you that life is always shifting. Air invites flexibility, release, and freedom. From your first inhale to your last exhale, breath marks the rhythm of life. You have a sacred partnership with this element that mirrors how your own energy flows and transforms. Culture & The Wind Element The ancient Greeks were among the first to name air as a foundational element. Empedocles described it as one of the four building blocks of life alongside earth, fire, and water. This was later expanded by Aristotle and woven through alchemy and Western mysticism. Air corresponds with the east, which is the direction of sunrise. To many that stands for new beginnings, brings clarity after darkness, and the spark of inspiration at dawn. Air also lives within the breath itself. In Hinduism, it’s prana. In Hebrew mysticism, it’s ruach. And in Chinese philosophy, it’s chi. All these words link breath with spirit, which is the bridge between seen and unseen worlds. Indigenous peoples, see wind as sacred, with messengers of direction, wisdom, and spirit. Astrologically, air rules Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius. All are signs of communication, intellect, and innovation. In Tarot, air governs the suit of Swords, with the sharp edge of truth, clarity, and insight. Across the world, air is more than what you breathe, but how spirit moves within you, around you, and through you. Tools of the Wind Air is the master of movement and cleansing, especially for the mind. While water clears emotion and fire transforms, air sweeps away mental clutter such as repetitive thoughts, stale energy, and the static that builds when you’ve been stuck for a while. Working with air doesn’t require fancy tools. Just your presence, intention, and breath. The simplest gestures can shift your energy and open the mind to higher awareness. Feathers: Nature’s pure expression of air, feathers were designed to catch the wind and rise. They carry freedom and the perspective of flight. Use feathers to move energy or clear a space. Their gentle motion stirs the unseen and carries your intention on invisible currents to the Gods. Incense: If air had perfume, it would be incense, used in spiritual practice for millennia. The smoke from incense makes the invisible air visible, so you can watch it lift and move. Lighting incense instantly shifts the energy of a space and each aroma carries its own vibration. Bells: Sound is air in motion, and bells create a single ring that vibrates through space, clearing energy and inviting new flow. Across traditions, bells signal the sacred, from church towers to altar chimes to Tibetan singing bowls. Their resonance breaks up stagnation and refreshes your surroundings. Wind Chimes: The sound of wind chimes can be compared to an orchestra. They don’t need you to play them, but move with the wind element. Every song they play is spontaneous and alive. In feng shui, wind chimes keep chi flowing. Hung by doors or windows, they shift stagnant energy and invite harmony. Rituals to Embody Air There are a number of rituals you can do that work with your breath, sound, movement, and intention. Mindful Breathing: Simply noticing your breath can clear the mind and calm the heart. Try a few rounds of box breathing (inhale 4, hold 4, exhale 4, hold 4) or extend your exhales to melt tension. Breathwork balances energy and invites clarity. Meditation: Air loves stillness in motion. Focus on the feeling of breath entering and leaving, or visualize each inhale as clarity and each exhale as release. Singing or Chanting: When you sing, you automatically lift your vibration and that of the air around you. Chanting or humming raises your frequency and there are no tools or talent required. Writing & Speaking: Surpisingly, writing is a tool that takes your airy thoughts and brings them into the physical world. And when you speak, that gives your words wings. The most powerful way to use affirmations is to say them aloud, because then they create a vibration  that goes out into the air. Step into the Wind: On a breezy day, go outside to be in the wind. Let the air touch your skin, lift your hair, and carry away what no longer serves you. The wind knows what to do. Channeled Message from Air I connected with the wind element to see if there was a message for the listeners. Here’s what I heard: “I am about communication. I am the storm, gathering energy to move, dance, and stir life. I can be gentle or relentless. I can caress your skin with a breeze or break centuries-old trees. Whisper your desires to me, and I’ll carry them far. Cast away your fears, and I’ll turn them to dust. I plant seeds, lift feathers, and sweep the world clean. I roar like a lion and whisper in your ear. I am the wind — powerful, unpredictable, eternal. I am here for you, always.” The Wind Is Everywhere Air is everywhere, unseen, yet ever-present. It’s the whisper through the trees, the breath that carries your voice, the current that shifts energy in every moment. Working with air, through feathers, incense, bells, wind chimes, or simple breath, is about awakening to change and freedom. The magic of the wind element is that it’s always here, ready to clear, lift, and inspire you. All you have to do is breathe, listen, and let the wind remind you that you’re already part of the flow. And don’t forget to Breathe Love & Magic whenever you can. The post The Wind Reveals Deep Truth and Wisdom for You appeared first on Intuitive Edge.

Tarot cards have long been used as a tool for fortune-telling and connecting with the unseen world. But for my guest, Beth Lees, a transformation guide and tarot reader, the cards are far more than a tool for prediction. Beth relies on the cards as a gateway for self-discovery, healing, and personal growth. Beth and I explore the deep wisdom of tarot and how it helps navigate life’s changes on t his episode of the Breathe Love & Magic podcast.. Tarot – A Tool for Self-Discovery Many people approach tarot expecting to learn about the future. However, Beth sees the cards as a mirror for the unconscious. Quoting Carl Jung, she explains, “Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.” The imagery of the tarot taps into our subconscious mind, allowing you to see your life from new perspectives and make empowered choices. Beth’s readings help you understand yourself and your situation more deeply. She suggests that as you see things differently, you can change the trajectory of your life for the better. Surrender – The Hanged Man Card Beth drew a card for collective clarity for the listeners and chose The Hanged Man. While the card appears to be ominous, it’s actually about surrender. While hanging upside down from one foot, the man can see the world from a new perspective. The Hanged Man looks relaxed and illuminated, inviting you to let go and trust the process. Beth shares a favorite Rumi quote that captures the essence of this card, “Don’t worry that your world is turning upside down. How do you know that the side you are used to is better than the one to come?” Surrender, she explains, is not about giving up or losing, but pausing, reflecting, and allowing things to unfold without a lot of effort. 4 of Pentacles – Gratitude & Letting Go Next, Beth picked the Four of Pentacles, often called the “Miser” card. While it can represent holding resources too tightly, Beth offers a more nuanced view.  Her interpretation is to appreciate what you have, pause to reflect, and practice gratitude. Every tarot card, has both positive and negative aspects, which is the same of life. I mentioned that I felt confused about the cards pointing to surrender and holding on. Beth responded that confusion is a sign of growth. When you’re curious and open, you’re no longer stuck in old stories—we’re in a state of beginner’s mind, ready for creativity and new opportunities. Debunking Tarot Myths Tarot often gets a bad rap, Beth acknowledges, due to religious misconceptions and dramatic portrayals in movies. She emphasizes that there are no “good” or “bad” cards—each card simply reflects different aspects of life. The infamous Death card, for example, is not about literal death but transformation and new beginnings. Think of a snake shedding its old skin to promite growth. The Tower and Transformation Beth shared a powerful story from a tarot party she worked. A man, sat at her table, who was an Assocaited Press photographer. He was known for his iconic photo of someone jumping from the World Trade Center on 9/11. Not knowing this, Beth pulled two cards for him –  first the Hanged Man and then the Tower card in his reading. The Tower is a card about a big shake up, and the Hanged Man is about surrender. He asked her not to explain as he said what he saw. Beth added her interpretation reading so he could see his photographic image in a new light. Rather than being associated only with the tragedy, she saw this also as an invitation to let go and find meaning in that person’s surrender. Use Intuition to Learn Tarot For those interested in learning tarot, Beth’s advice is simple. She suggests buying a deck and pick one card every day. Don’t rush to read the guidebook for meaning. Instead, pay attention to what you see and how the card makes you feel. According to Beth, the most important interpretation is your own. Over time, you’ll develop a relationship with the cards and build trust in your intuition. Later, you can consult books for additional perspectives, but the foundation is your personal connection to the imagery. Creative Uses for Tarot The tarot has value beyond self-reflection or divination. It can also be a powerful tool for creativity and inspiration in everyday life. She offered several creative ways to use tarot. 1. Character Development – If you’re writing a book or story, pull a card to help shape a character’s personality or backstory. The imagery and symbolism can spark new ideas and add depth to your characters. 2. Decision-Making – Use tarot to bring a playful, intuitive element to everyday choices. Even something as simple as “What should I have for breakfast?” The cards can prompt you to consider new perspectives or options you hadn’t thought of. 3. Artistic Inspiration – Let the cards’ colors, symbols, and archetypes inspire visual art, poetry, or music. Beth encourages using quotes, songs, and questions along with the card meanings to deepen your creative relationship with them. 4. Personal Reflection – Beyond prediction, tarot can be a daily practice for journaling, meditation, or setting intentions. Pull a card and ponder its meaning for your day, your mood, or a challenge you’re facing. The key is to approach the cards with curiosity, playfulness, and an open mind. There are no limits to how you can use tarot to spark creativity and insight. The Joy of Tarot Above all, Beth reminds you that tarot can be fun. In times of uncertainty, a sense of wonder and playfulness can help  navigate life’s challenges. Pick a card each day, consdier its meaning, and look for the positive aspects. Approach the cards and life with eyes of curiosity and joy. According to Beth, the point of the tarot is not just a tool for predicting the future, but a companion for the journey of self-discovery. Whether you’re facing a major life change or simply seeking a daily dose of inspiration, the cards can assist. Tarot invites you to pause, reflect, and trust the unfolding path. The magic of tarot lies beyond the card meanings, in the wisdom, curiosity, and joy you bring to reading them.

For years I’ve said to myself, “I am the magic” as part of my morning ritual to align my energy for my highest good. But now more than ever, I want to go with the flow which feels even more powerful. To me, that means life will feel easier, lighter, and be less of a struggle. And recently, I realized that maybe, just maybe, I’m finally getting there and learning how. The Burger and the Bill The other night, I went out with friends to a comedy club to see to psychic mediums do their thing. They were pretty good! But, dinner came with quirks. My burger showed up missing toppings and the “side salad” was a sad, tiny pile of lettuce with no dressing. Yet, I was charged $5 extra for it. In the past, I would have called the waitress over, argued, maybe even asked for the manager. I would’ve told the story later to my husband, friends, or anyone willing to commiserate. But this time something different happened. I just paid the bill and let it go. It might sound small, but for me, this was huge! Letting go has never been easy for me. I’ve even joked about how I wish someone would create that essence and bottle it so I could atake a swig when needed. But here it happened. I just let go to go with the flow without fanfare. Spilled Shakes and Soaked Cushions Over the past weekend, life threw a couple of tests my way. A glass literally popped apart while I was making a protein shake, splattering liquid everywhere. I didn’t flip out or get angry. In fact my husband came to help and we both laughed as we tried to stop the flow and cleaned up. Then minutes later, we found the soaked carpet had been soaked becaue we brought the outdoor cushions inside and theu were full of water from a rain storm two days prior. We blotted the water with towels and put a fan on the carpet to dry it out. Go with the Flow Normally, both these incidents would have sent me into swearing, frustration, and more, messing up my energy and my day. But instead, my husband and I just cleaned up, laughed, took care of it and simply moved on. Again, these are small things. But for me, this demonstrates a massive change in my respnose. Looking back now, these moments showed me I am learning to let go and go with the flow. The Cost of Indignation Months ago, Spirit told me something that was hard to hear. My indignation was robbing me of joy. Every time I got caught up in how unfair life felt, I drained my own energy and preventedmyself from feeling orfinding any joy. That hit me big time. Because joy is something I deeply want more of. I began to see that sometimes the real cost isn’t the $5 salad or a broken glass. Instead, it’s the peace I sacrifice when I stay stuck in outrage. I used to believe I had to fight every little battle, prove my point, and make sure people treated me fairly. I stood up for myself,confronted people when necesary, and didn’t sweep things under the carpet. I always stood up for myself and many people say they admired that about me. I approached things head on and got them done. But, I’m ready to move on from that. I see now how much energy I was giving to this process and how I felt ready for a greater sense of inner peace, calmness, and more joy. Pick Your Battles Letting go doesn’t mean I roll over or never speak up. For someone who’s always stood her ground, the lesson isn’t about finding my voice, but softening it. I’m more inclined now to conserve my energy for what really matters: joy, laughter, creativity, and inner peace. Here’s another example for the evening with the mediums. When I pulled into the parking lot behind the place, and did the QR code to pay for parking, the price was $38 for a couple of hours. My indignation flared up instantly. Ridiculous! But there were no other options, no attendant, and no time to drive around. I just let go and paid. I didn’t love it, but I chose the lesser of two evils, which was paying the fee rather than wasting time and energy searching for a cheaper spot. Was I thrilled about it? No. Did I carry it with me all night? Also no. And that’s the difference. I’m starting to choose which annoyances are worth my attention and which ones don’t deserve center stage. Discovering a New Pattern When I step back and look at these small situations—burgers, shakes, cushions, parking lots—I see a pattern emerging. I’m not getting pulled under as quickly. I’m not turning everything into a fight. I’m beginning to laugh more often at the absurdities instead of letting them ruin my mood and energy. And honestly? It feels like freedom. These are small shifts, but for someone who’s spent years trying to figure out how to “let go,” they feel monumental. Lessons from Spirit This change also reminded me of something Spirit showed me months ago. I’d been told that my habit of being indignant, which is about being disrespected or slighted, etc. That leads to wanting fair treatment and complaining about the situation. All of this nonsense and drama was preventing me from feeling more joy. Mostly because I didn’t have the energy for joy with all the drama I was creating. At first, I bristled at that idea about indignation. Wasn’t I justified in wanting to be treated fairly? But slowly I began to see the truth. I was letting the little stuff drain me dry. Now I can see that joy doesn’t require everything to go my way. Joy comes when I stop fighting long enough to notice the good stuff that’s already present. Celebrating Small Shifts And here’s where I want to turn this around to you. Because I know I’m not the only one growing. These little moments of progress when you react differently than you used to are worth noticing and celebrating. Maybe you didn’t lose your cool in traffic. Maybe you forgave someone faster than you thought possible. Maybe you spoke up for yourself when you usually would’ve stayed quiet. Whatever it is, it counts! Growth doesn’t always look like a reaching the top of a mountain. Sometimes it looks like paying the bill without a scene, laughing at spilled shakes, or deciding joy is more valuable than indignation. Flow Provides Freedom I’m not perfect at this—just ask me about that $38 parking lot. But the point isn’t perfection. The point is noticing progress. I’m learning to go with the flow, choosing my battles, and letting go of the ones that don’t matter. And every time I do, I feel lighter, freer, and closer to the joy I want to live in. So today, I invite you to take a moment and notice your own shifts. Congratulate yourself for how far you’ve come, even if it feels small. Because these are the stepping stones of the transformation you desire and dream of. And if I can celebrate not flipping out over soggy cushions and overpriced salad and parking, and consider them as victories, I’ll bet you’ve got your own quiet wins waiting to be recognized. Give yourself some credit and love and acknowledge the little changes. They add up to big changes over time! The post Go with the Flow – A Remarkable Epiphany appeared first on Intuitive Edge.
