We all can benefit from listening to our intuition more..

Or hearing the it's subtle whispers.

Our intuition speaks to us in many different ways.

Sometimes it's gut feelings, other times its goosebumps, and sometimes it's a feeling we cannot ignore.

Intuition comes at the speed of light, so many times we can end up missing it. 

Many times, the subtle whispers are so quiet that we hardly recognize anything worth allowing our conscious mind to absorb. Through my own journey, I have found tools, such as crystals have helped me decipher the internal messages and wisdom I receive on a daily basis, and I want to share some of favorite crystals for intuition with you!

There are many different ways we can get a better understanding of our intuition, but for this blog post, I'm going to share my favorite crystals that I use to connect with my intuition and allow it to speak to me on a higher volume setting. 

Ready? Let's go!

 1) MOONSTONE

Moonstone is a very magical...

If there is only one thing I have learned in my 33 years of life it is to always follow your intuition. Always listen to that inner niggle. That calm inner guidance system that leaves us feeling protected, nurtured, and on the right path. That internal whisper is why I am writing this blog post. 

So let's start at square one. I'm a medium. I have the ability to connect with souls who have crossed over. As much as I enjoy being able to connect my clients to their loved ones who are no longer with us, being a medium is not always what it is cracked up to be. 

It requires a level of surrender that most people are not comfortable with. It requires you to take your faith, whatever that might be, and multiply it times ten.

Through my own personal journey, I have both loved and hated being a medium. 

I have loved seeing the reassurance in my clients eyes knowing that their loved ones are safe and okay and always with them.

I have loved...

There is a hot new buzz word going around, you most likely have heard of it. Manifestation. 

More people are using this word in their everyday vocabulary. In fact, people are building 6-7 figure businesses on the topic of TEACHING manifestation. Crazy, right?

So what exactly is MANIFESTATION?

an event, action, or object that clearly shows or embodies something, especially a theory or an abstract idea.

So in simple terms, it is when a thought or idea comes into fruition.

Now, think of how many times you thought of something, anything, good or bad and it actually came into existence. That is because we came into this life being natural manifestors. Manifesting isn't something you have to work on. It is something that is already within you.

At this point, you might be sitting here shaking your head being like "well, sh!t.. Some of the stuff in my life that I have manifested isn't what I actually wanted!" 

Worry not my friend, you are not...

Ok. The fact that you are reading this blog post write now is an indication that you are either questioning the idea of mediumship or you have just realized that you are in fact a medium.

Kinda wild isn't it?

This journey you are embarking on is far more powerful than just being able to receive messages and evidence from souls that have crossed over. This journey is the path to your own soul. 

Being a medium requires a lot of personal development and healing. It requires us to surrender and to have faith. And none of these things are easy my friend!

I have a lot to say about mediumship. I can share a lot of my own personal experiences and lessons that I have learned. I can talk about how each medium has their own unique connection to spirit. I can talk about the healing that comes along with this path, and how it requires the individual to come to terms with aspects of themselves that need healing. But I won't bore you with all of that right now. That's a book that is yet to be...

Two words.

MERCURY RETROGRADE. 

You may have heard the excuse ”It's because of Mercury Retrograde." If you don’t know astrology, you may have wondered what they were talking about. Of all planetary aspects, this aspect of astrology gets A LOT of attention.

The reason for their interest is clear – this experience, which occurs a couple of times per year, brings both positive and negative along with it. Everyday things like technology and schedules become increasingly slower which can result in many eye rolls and long drawn out gasps. BUT, Mercury Retrograde also brings the importance reminder of slowing down. 

Let us look at the do's and dont's of Mercury Retrograde:

THE DO'S

In my podcast interview with Hana the Suburban Witch, she tells us an important things to remember about Retrograde is the first two letters *RE*. These two letters remind us that Mercury Retrograde is a time for Revamping, Research, Remembering, Reading, Revising,...

2019 is coming to an end. Not just 2019, but a full decade is coming full circle. I have been trying to wrap my head around that information for a couple of months now. 

The last decade of my life has been a wild, intense, roller coaster ride filled with tears, pain, growth, and spiritual healing and transformation. But I can honestly say, that I'm ready for it to be over.

I am writing this blog post because I wanted to share with you a practice/ritual that you can do to reign in the new year, or whenever you feel called to use it. Spiritual rituals do not have to be super elaborate unless you want them to be. Your intention will always be the most crucial piece of the puzzle.

You can adjust this ritual to your liking. That's the great thing about your spiritual practice. It's yours. You get to customize it as you wish.

Well, here goes nothing!

What you will need:

Pen

2 Pieces of paper

Matches

Envelope

A safe place to burn one of the pieces...

You have had countless cosmic downloads, you have intuitively picked up on people and certain situations, you have felt the presence of spirit around, but you are still doubting yourself. You are still labeling things coincedences, or just labeling yourself a “really great guesser.” Why? Why are you still stuck in the phase of your spiritual awakening where you become at war with yourself and your connection to your soul, to the universe, to all that is?

I’ll tell you the answer. It is because you are still giving too much power away to your ego. Your ego is a collection of thoughts abd beliefs we carry around.

The ego is a collection of ideas we carry around.

I am what I have

I am what I do

I am my reputation

I am separate from everybody else

I am separate from god

“Ego” is the aspects of your yourself that you consider to be “you.” A perfect example of this is a brief self-inquiry assessment.

Your ego is here to...

Cleansing your energy as well as the spaces you spend most of your time in is a vital step is establishing a clear, sanctuary that allows us to raise our vibrations. My husband to this day shakes his head when I whip out my smudge stick and start opening up all of the windows and doors to our home. 

“Is that really necessary?” He will ask. I simply turn around and look at him straight faced and say “Do you want to take a bath in dirty water?”

The Famous Psychic Medium John Edward, whom is also a huge inspiration and mentor to me (he just doesn’t know it.) Spoke about the Importance of Energy Cleansing in his book, The Infinite Quest. He simply stated ‘Don’t you usually clean your house before having guests over for a visit? So why not do an energy cleanup to go along with the physical tidying up? You won’t be the only one to notice not just how nice the place looks, but also how good it feels.”

I stand by this...

“The ego cannot survive without judgement”

-A Course in Miracles

Like most people, I used to feel superior over others. Whether it was someone of a lesser moral compass, a spider that was inhabiting my home, or someone whom our beliefs and values were not copesthetic; I judged. I created an opinion about this person or thing and then decided that we were not equal and that I was superior. Judgement is natural. Whether you believe yourself to be a judgmental being or not – you judge. Our egos have made it this way. Just like how we categorize ourselves with labels, we do the same thing to others.

We call a woman who wears tight dresses and has an active sex life a slut.

We call a father who does not pay child support and does not see his children a dead-beat dad.

We a call a child who behaves and listens to adults a good kid.

We a call a mother who takes care of her children and has patience a good mom.

Whether the label be positive or negative,...

What is the ‘ego’?

 As much as I love the Queen B, her hit single “ego” got the concept and definition of ego totally wrong. When we think ego, we think arrogance conceit. This is just an incredibly small portion of what the ego is.

The ego is a collection of ideas we carry around.

I am what I have

I am what I do

I am my reputation

I am separate from everybody else

I am separate from god

“Ego” is the aspects of yourself that you consider to be “you.” A perfect example of this is a brief self-inquiry assessment.

Who are you? I’m Erica.

Who is Erica? Erica is a female, she is a wife, and she is a mother.

Did Erica exist before she become a wife and mother? Well.. Yes.

So then who were you before you were a wife and mother? I was Erica.

Who is Erica? She is me.

Who is me? I’m Erica. I am me.

Well, that cannot be, because I am ME too.

Are we both ME? Well you are me for you and I am me for me.

Who is me? I...
