Breathe Love & Magic

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.

Have you ever called upon the water element? Beyond quenching your thirst, water can clear away what no longer serves you, open the flow of intuition, or carry your dreams into being. A Great Ally Water is one of our greatest allies, holding mystery, memory, and the power to transform everything it touches. When I spoke with Jenn T. Peterson, Equus Coach and Shaman Reiki Master Teacher, she reminded me that water isn’t just practical; it’s spiritual. “Our entire earth is water. Our bodies are about 80% water. So when you think about it, we are water,” she said. That hit me. From the ocean that touches every continent flows in our cells to a mountain stream, or the rain falling from the sky, and even the glass of water on your desk. Each one is a part of water element, including you! Water Is Life Water covers more of the earth than land, and nothing survives without it. We drink it, cook with it, bathe in it. It’s influence runs deeper. Across cultures, water has always been sacred. Think of holy water for blessing, shamanic water for cleansing, and even modern research shows that water crystals respond to intention. Jenn also connected water with emotions which are fluid, shifting constantly from calm to stormy in a moment. Emotions live in the body, moving like tides. That’s why dreams, intuition, and emotional healing all resonate with the water element. Here’s a simple truth. Most people are often dehydrated. Without enough water, even moods and emotional balance suffer. Hydrating goes beyond physical self-care, because it impacts you emotional and spiritual well-being too. Tears also remind us of water’s role in release. Crying is the body’s way of cleansing. Instead of resisting tears, we can honor them as sacred. Work with the Water Element Talking about water is inspiring—but the real magic is in practice. When you bring intention to everyday interactions with water, the ordinary becomes sacred. Jenn explained some beautiful rituals, and I’ve added a few of my own. Use what resonates and adapt the rest. Water is generous like that—it doesn’t demand perfection. 1.Water Whispering This is one of Jenn’s favorite practices, and once you try it, you’ll understand why. Take three containers of water in glass or metal which works best since they hold frequency. Whisper into the first container something you want to release. Into the second, whisper an intention for your own healing or growth. Into the third, whisper a prayer for the earth. Your voice is vibration, and water records that frequency. If you’ve whispered an intention, drink the water so your body, which is 80% water, carries the message. If you’ve whispered a release, pour it into the ground and let the earth transmute it. For planetary healing, return it to the land, a plant, or even the sink with gratitude. It’s such a simple act, yet powerful because it brings body, mind, and spirit into harmony. You’re speaking your truth, embodying it, and partnering with the natural world. 2. Purify with Water One of the simplest ways to clear energy is in the shower. Instead of rushing through your routine, set the intention: I release what no longer serves me. Feel the water carrying away tension, sadness, or fear. The same shower that wakes you up can also cleanse your spirit. Even washing your hands can become a clearing ritual. Once, at a gathering where someone’s energy felt heavy, I excused myself and washed my hands three times, each time picturing the energy going down the drain. It worked! I walked out lighter and clearer. That’s the beauty of water: it gives us discreet, practical tools to restore balance. 3. Tears as Medicine We don’t always think of crying as sacred, but it is. Tears are one of the body’s most honest offerings. They move energy we can’t carry, soften the heart, and release what words cannot. Instead of resisting or apologizing for tears, honor them as your own water element ceremony. 4. Scry and Reflect Water can also become a mirror for guidance. In shamanic journeys, Jenn kneels by a pond or lake and looks into the reflection, allowing her intuition to reveal visions of the future or hidden truths. You can do the same with a bowl of water at home. Light a candle nearby, gaze softly, and see what images or impressions arise. This practice connects you to your deeper wisdom while reminding you that answers already ripple within. 5. Freeze with Intention One of the most unusual practices Jenn shared is “putting something on ice.” Whisper a situation into water, freeze it, and tuck it into your freezer. This halts the momentum, gives you distance, and lets the universe hold it until you’re ready. One of the most unusual practices Jenn shared is “putting something on ice.” Whisper a situation into water, freeze it, and tuck it into your freezer. This halts the momentum, gives you distance, and lets the universe hold it until you’re ready. She once forgot about a frozen intention for over a year, and when she rediscovered it, the situation had completely lost its grip. Sometimes the most powerful magic comes from letting go and trusting time to work. 6. Manifest and Release Water is transformation. It shifts from liquid to vapor to ice, reminding us that nothing is fixed. In shamanic work, water often becomes the vessel for journeys—like Jenn’s River of Time, which carries people to past or future insights. Manifestation also ties into water. If desires aren’t appearing, it’s often fear that’s fueling them. Releasing fear through water rituals clears the way so intentions can actually flow in. And like a river carving a canyon, water shows us that persistence reshapes reality. Change doesn’t have to be forced; it can be steady, fluid, and natural. Your Invitation to Flow Water is everywhere—within you, around you, above and beneath you. It sustains life, carries memory, and responds to intention. Whether you’re sipping a glass, stepping into the shower, or whispering a prayer into a stream, you’re connecting with one of the most powerful allies we have. The invitation is simple: engage with the water element consciously. Whisper your dreams. Wash away what no longer serves you. Cry when you need to. Place something on ice if it feels too heavy. And most of all, when it feels right, let yourself flow. Because like water, you are ever-changing, ever-connected, and far more powerful than you know. Get Jenn’s Free Gift: Most people set goals from fear, not intuition. That’s why Jenn created Soul Goals, a free guided shamanic journey + goal tracker to help you tune into your highest vision and set goals that feel divinely aligned. BIO – Jenn T.

Here’s a radical new revelation – there’s a connection between self love practices and world peace which I’m so excited to tell you about. Hang in there with me because this takes a while to unravel. Still Learning to Let Go This is part of my continuing quest to learn how to let go. New ideas keep showing up, probably to help me release deeper layers or finish with things I started that aren’t done yet. I have several situations in my life that I cannot fix. The only solution is to let go. Somehow, I have to release my need to rehearse speeches in my head. These thought loops brings me down and drain my energy. It certainly doesn’t allow me to expand fully or reach my potential. A cloud forms over my sparkly being and holds me back. Yet, my brain slips into this groove automatically, as if it likes being there. Yesterday, I was talking to a friend who is also going through this thought loop habit. Energy patterns are always easier to spot with someone else, soI can distill the issue and see the solution. Here’s what I told her from spirit, which of course applies to me too. Big Revelation “You cannot let go by thinking about letting go. Why? Because this requires you to think about the situation and hold onto the energy rather than letting it go. You can’t think about letting go and actually let go at the same time. The very act of thinking about it holds you to the problem you desperately want to release. Yes, feel your feelings. I’m not suggesting you stuff down your feelings. But when it comes to letting go, being in your head will not help. What can you do? The solution is to think about something else. Years ago I started calling this practice “replacement thoughts.” And here it is again. The point is to think about something you actually want to think about. Choose what makes you feel good, smile, or builds confidence. Consider what will set your energy in motion in the most positive way and replace those circular, negative thought loops. Let me give you two examples. If I catch myself looping, I might think about a great vacation memory of being in Ireland. That thought instantly changes my mood. Or, if I want something uplifting, I might focus on my affirmations: “I trust the universe and feel supported.” Jump Tracks in Your Brain These thoughts reroute the energy, like jumping a train track, so you move toward a brighter destination. Neuroscience backs this up. The brain has many well-worn pathways and surprisingly, negative tracks are preferred. The more you repeat a thought, the deeper the pathway becomes, until it’s well-worn. But you can create new paths! With practice, replacement thoughts create new grooves in your brain and eventually, those uplifting thoughts will become the new default. Yesterday I found the perfect replacement practice for me, and I want to share it with you because it’s so darn good. I listened to Dani Kenney’s podcast Energy Expansion and her episode on life-changing daily practices. She had several good ideas but the one I liked is called Love Letters. I’ll call it Love Notes. Dani suggests you start your day by writing yourself a Love Note. Get a journal just for this purpose. If you don’t want to write sentences, make a daily list of bullet points that you love about yourself. This is one of many self love practices She read a few examples during the podcast and started by just with “I love that you…” and wrote something different each day, based on her mood or what was happening. Self Love Practices – Love Note I started today in my own way. I encourage you to do the same. Give yourself permission to do what works for you. Here’s what I wrote as my very first entry: “I love myself. I am a beacon of light. I am magic. I trust the universe and feel supported. I walk my highest path. I am stardust, leaving a sparkling trail of joy behind me and creating a sparkling path of joy before me, paving the way to what is next. I share my light with the world. Today is going to be fun!” After, I connected with my guides to see what they had to say today. Here’s what they said to me. “What a beautiful way to start your day! You will begin to enjoy this process more than something you must or should do. It’s something you’ll relish. You’ll love doing this and look forward to it. It won’t be a chore on your list but a practice of uplifting yourself and connecting with the truth of your soul. It will bring you joy and set your energetic intention for the day. Welcome to your next level. Walk boldly. Walk in the light. Walk in the joy and live in the magic.” Ok wow. That brought tears to my eyes. I’m going to keep after these self love practices. The Maharishi Effect Here’s what happened right after I finished my love note yesterday. I got a text from a woman in my manifesting group. She sent me an article about the Maharishi Effect and asked if I had heard of it. Yes, I heard about this and knew groups gathered, using Transcendental Meditation to move humanity towards peace. They’ve done incredible scientific research to show that the power of people who do this is mathematically squared. In other words, when 10 people meditate they have the power of 100. And when thousands of people gather, that represents millions! Their research also shows that group meditations drive a decrease in violence – 16% on average, in the location where they meditate. This all started back in 1974 and is still going strong. Okay, let’s take this a step further. Here’s what came to me from spirit. “Imagine a world where people loved themselves. When people say, ‘I’m just one person, what can I do that will make a difference?’ now you know what to do. When you meditate with others for peace it does make a difference. When you love yourself and start your day with love notes, you raise your vibration which ripples out to people around you.” Bioenergetic Clearings When I do bioenergetic clearings for people, I start and finish by measuring their hertz frequency. I find there’s often a dramatic jump upwards after the clearing. Next time you have a personal clearing, remember you are actually upleveling the world. Everyone around you benefits. That’s amazing isn’t it? Another great example of self love practices. We are so very powerful, but don’t spend enough time leveraging the positive. However, we are naturally good at leveraging negative energy. We talk about the crumbling state of the world, listen to the news, and complain about our lives or other people. I do it too. This has caused a rise in hatred, a split in our country, and  the inability to listen to or understand the opposing side. One Person Does Make a Difference But what if we changed that? What if it were as simple as starting your day by loving yourself? Acknowledge the good you contain and share that with the world. You matter. You matter in a huge way and it’s time to start acknowledging that. Just because you can’t see or doubt your impact in this moment, that has nothing to do with the truth of your impact. Every single one of you matter and contribute to the good of the whole and the world. This is why spiritual leaders say world peace starts with inner peace. And this idea of writing love notes, expressing love for yourself is a massive energetic accelerator. Add to the Light Here’s a deep truth. When I love myself, I’m not just healing me. I’m adding light to the grid that connects us all. Every kind word I whisper to myself, every loving thought I hold, ripples outward. Being kind to others is important but loving yourself is a force of gigantic proportion. This is my invitation to you. Tomorrow morning, write a single light-filled love note to yourself. Let it be simple, inspired, and fun! get started with self love practices. Notice how even the smallest act shifts the current you’re flowing in. Because this is how magic works. One thought at a time. One heart at a time. And before you know it, that little ripple becomes a big wave. The post Why Self-Love Might Be The Key To World Peace appeared first on Intuitive Edge.

Curious about who you were in a past life? In this episode I share 25 clues to discover past life memories without hypnosis or meditation. Past Life Memories Have you ever felt an odd pull toward a place, a style, or even a moment in history that doesn’t seem to fit into your current life? That tug of curiosity might not be random at all. In fact, it could be a whisper from past life memories. My own interest in reincarnation started young. In the 4th grade, I wrote a book report on the Egyptian pharaoh Akhenaten. By 6th grade, my fascination had grown. With two girlfriends, we recreated the inside of a pyramid with colored pencils and shirt cardboard from the cleaners. Those early obsessions weren’t just school projects but clues pointing to experiences my soul already lived. Over time, I’ve seen how these clues show up. They sometimes appear as passions and talents, and other times as aversions or fears. The trick is to notice what stirs something strong inside you. The Fascination Never Ends One of the most obvious signs of a past life memory is when you feel drawn to a particular period of history. For me, it’s always been King Arthur’s legends, the drama of Queen Elizabeth I, and the romance of Renaissance Italy. In fact, the first European country I ever visited was Italy, as if my soul had been calling me back home. Travel is a very common clue. Yet, the clues don’t always show up in such bold ways. Sometimes they hide in the details of everyday life. Take my home décor, for example. Years ago, I decorated my bedroom with Corinthian columns, which are ornate, decorative columns I picked up from an antique store. They flank either side of my bed with a crosspiece above, holding lights. Why did I feel the need for this specific architectural style? At the time, I didn’t stop to question it. But later, I recognized it as another subtle nudge from my Italian past life memories. Lessons from Ancient Egypt One of the most vivid past-life visions I’ve had took me right back to ancient Egypt, echoing the fascination I’d felt as a child. In this vision, I was a wealthy woman, not royalty but rich enough to live in luxury. I was decked out in fabulous jewelry. But the attitude of my spirit wasn’t so pretty. That woman I saw myself as was harsh, yelling at servants and cruel. Not exactly a lighthearted soul or my best act. And here’s where it got interesting. In my very next lifetime, I was back in Egypt again, but this time as a slave, making mud bricks under the punishing sun. It was during the time of Moses, so I eventually found freedom and crossed the Red Sea to wander the desert. From wealth and power to the humblest of lives, my soul wanted both experiences. That’s how past lives work. They help us balance, grow, and round out the rough edges. Echoes of War Sometimes the patterns show up across many readings. For instance, a few years ago I decided to do 30 readings in 30 days for different people. I was quite surprised when I saw that several people had been Roman soldiers. I questioned the validity of this finding. However, when you think about it, Rome’s empire lasted for centuries, and the army was quite massive with thousands of warriors. So, it makes sense that many could have come back today when you think about how many souls had that experence in the past. Another striking story came through during a past life reading for a woman who had deep fears of fireworks and drowning that she couldn’t explain. In this life she is a Japanese woman and she wanted to know about her most recent incarnation. Learn More about Getting a Past Life Reading Turns out she was a US sailor who died in the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. I was impressed with this soul’s bravery to return to the culture that caused his death and also to come back as a woman. While these were difficult past life memories, understanding the root cause of her fears was helpful. A Viking at Halloween One of my favorite examples was also one of the most nerve-wracking. My friend begged me to do a past life reading for a local newspaper reporter who came to the psychic fair. Of course I worried about not coming up with anything. The reporter sat down at my table and his wife stood behind him. Both friendly but gave nothing away. What I saw was crystal clear – he had a life as a Viking. Blonde hair, a beard, heavy tunic, shield, sword, helmet—the works. He was training with his sword  with other men from the village. When I described the scene, I held my breath, wondering if he’d roll his eyes. Instead, his wife burst out laughing. She told me that every single Halloween, without fail, he dressed up as a Viking. His past still echoed, nudging him to remember. Halloween itself can be a massive source of clues. Year after year, people instinctively pick costumes that feel oddly familiar. It’s as if the soul seizes its chance to slip into an old identity, even just for one night. Maybe you’re always drawn to being a witch, a flapper, a soldier, or a queen. It could be past life memories. Your Soul Knows Exploring past lives is fun, but also revealing. It helps explain the unexplainable. Why you’re drawn to certain places, why certain fears linger, and why certain people feel instantly familiar. It’s a way to understand yourself on a soul level, with compassion and curiosity. Next time you find yourself magnetically drawn to a piece of history, a place, or even a Halloween costume, pause and ask yourself, “Could this be a clue?” The soul is always whispering, leaving breadcrumbs to remind you of the vastness of who you really are. 26 Clues about Your Past Lives             So, if a memory, dream, or fascination stirs something in you, write it down in your past life memories journal. Even the smallest clue can open the door to a story your soul is waiting to remind you about.
