The Difference Between Personal & Professional Intuitive Development

Slade Roberson — Mon, 19 Mar 2012 14:50:36 +0000

An intuitive named Andrew sent me the following email:

Here’s my problem — I’ve been doing readings for a few months now. Sometimes, I do readings that are very accurate; but then I also do readings that aren’t very accurate at all. I just keep practicing because I want to do better, but I feel like sometimes I’m just not getting consistent information.

I’ve read tons of books. I studied lots of different techniques. I’ve taken a bunch of workshops and courses.

I purchased your Personal Level Intuitive courses a few weeks ago — Talking to Your Spirit Guides and Automatic Writing Lessons.

Honestly, I have to say your techniques are truly effective. The crystal I charged during the initial meditation in Talking to Your Spirit Guides really does help me make a better connection to spirit more deeply than I used be able to. So, that makes me wonder…

Could I just need energy healing of some kind? Would that open up things up for me?

– Andrew

You don’t just need some kind of energy healing — you may specifically need professional level attunement.

Of course, any energetic clearing or healing probably won’t “hurt” — but it can be a bit like one session on a treadmill, one yoga class, or one chiropractic adjustment… You would benefit from an on-going daily approach that is cumulative and has — above all — the right foundation.

There is a difference between personal and professional intuitive development.

Professional level intuitive development:

begins with a different intention
introduces you to specialized spirit guides
strengthens your access to the Akashic Records

Many of the courses you have probably taken in the past are intended to develop your intuition for “personal use.” While you may be able to cobble together the skill set and develop a practice through trial and error, Professional Level Intuitive Development has an entirely different level of intention behind it.

The meditation and the object you charge in Talking to Your Spirit Guides is specifically programmed to help you connect to your personal guide team.

The Attunement in Automatic Intuition Professional calls in your Akashic Records Guides and ensures your ability to retrieve accurate information in service to other people, in alignment with your Highest Path and Purpose.

Professional training and mentoring can mean the difference between about 3 months of practice versus about 3 years to get to where you’re hoping to go.

That doesn’t mean you can’t become a professional intuitive working on your own — but, most everyone I know who has a truly successful intuitive practice, built on retrieving consistent information and impacting their clients’ lives in a positive way, has received coaching from at least one mentor. (Myself included!)

There are many professional intuitives who will let you in behind the scenes. We all learn from one another. Providing a strong Attunement to the Akashic Records is one of the most powerful foundations we can provide those we teach.

How do you choose the right intuitive mentor?

It’s pretty simple — look for someone you admire, whose practice has been thriving for several years, someone with whom you can identify, whose writing, speaking, philosophy or teaching speaks to you.

You’ll just know — You will see yourself in your teacher. You will experience a nudge from your spirit guides to act. Something will just… click. Trust those feelings — they are the most accurate divination you have.

The Path to Becoming a Better Intuitive

Slade Roberson — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 14:58:46 +0000

The only way to predict your future path is to create as much of it as you can. There are no guarantees of how “good” you might be one day at what you do.

As with any skill set, quantity and practice play an enormous role in becoming a better intuitive:

The more readings you do, the more confident you become.
The more client feedback you receive, the more you know how accurate your readings are.

You can cobble together the skills from various sources and grope your way down an unlighted path. You can also learn from others who are doing what you want to do and propel yourself further along that path — faster, with greater success, sooner.

Everyone learns from others, and everyone practices what they learn to become better and better.

Every intuitive starts somewhere, at some point, and develops, grows, improves.

The fortunate ones meet peers, teachers, and mentors along the way who are willing to share their experiences and their techniques — to demystify the process and show you that you are like them more than you are different.

How do you plan to learn?
Who do you feel you can learn from?
When will you begin?

There are no wrong answers to those questions — only options along your path to becoming a better intuitive.

10 Things They Don’t Tell You about Being a Professional Intuitive

Slade Roberson — Tue, 27 Dec 2011 15:48:19 +0000

1. Being a lightworker may actually require you to assist those who are lost among shadows or even in deep darkness. Those who walk in the light are not the ones who need you most.

2. Even when you are tired, stressed, feeling insecure, feeling like you’re not at your best, that you’re not in a strong enough state to perform a reading, when your intentions are to be a vessel for someone else, the energy and information you require will show up.

3. It’s not always about retrieving answers — more often times than not the client needs you to reframe her questions.

4. More people are turned on by what you do — intrigued, interested, curious — than turned off. Hardly anyone thinks you’re “crazy” and more people than you ever imagined — nearly everyone you meet — wants to talk to you about what you do.

5. Being “able” to do psychic readings for people starts with the simple decision that you’re willing to try in order to learn and develop your abilities.

6. The confidence you feel you need before you can start giving readings actually comes from giving readings. Whatever confirmation you’re waiting on, that you think will happen before you begin, will be waiting for you when you dive in.

7. You may not necessarily ever know “for sure” that you’re right — unless and/or until your client tells you so.

8. It’s actually easy, rewarding, and pleasurable! Being a professional psychic does not make you feel “insane;” and people are not coming out of the woodwork to judge you. There need be no victims here.

9. You’re not in competition with any other intuitive. There are “enough” clients for everyone.

10. You can develop psychic abilities. You can learn how to become a professional intuitive — from a combination of intention, experience, and guidance. You will acquire different skills from other intuitives, and you will likely have not just one teacher but many over the course of your lifetime.

What would you add to this list? Those of you who are already professional intuitives, what do you know now that you would not have foreseen before accepting your path?

How Do You Deliver a Psychic Message to Someone Who May Not Be Open to It?

Slade Roberson — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 21:33:13 +0000

You never want to be one of those intuitives who walks up to people and “reads” them without their permission — like the poor Hogwarts’ Divinations Professor Sybill Trelawney in the Harry Potter series, grabbing people by the shoulders or stopping them by their coat tails as they try to pass you on the sidewalk and stuttering, wild-eyed, about your “visions of impending doom.”

But, what do you do when you genuinely feel a sense of urgency or duty about delivering a psychic message…?

…to someone who has not asked you for a reading?
…to someone who may not be open to this kind of conversation?
…or to someone you literally do not even know?

You can find “normal,” discreet, non-confrontational, and carefully communicated ways to reach out with the messages you get. You can find ways to do it so it doesn’t get drowned out by people thinking you’re invasive, rude, or demented.

If It’s for Someone You Already Know…
I’ve found that a really effective way to introduce an intuitive message to someone without her necessarily having to be “open” to psychic phenomena is to initiate the conversation with “I had a dream about you…”

It may or may not have really come to you in dream form, but, in my experience, the “average” person is more open to that conversation, even curious.

I’ve never known a single person to turn me down, or not want me to continue. Hardly anyone really wants to listen to tedious, detailed play-by-play of your unconscious nocturnal ramblings — unless it’s about her. Then, absolutely everyone wants to hear at least the gist of what you dreamed.

If It’s for a Stranger…
I find myself often nudged by Spirit to compliment people — when I notice they’re wearing cool shoes, a unique piece of jewelry, rocking a great hairstyle… even strangers. You never know when you may be guided to just simply acknowledge someone at a moment when she really needs it.

You can deliver an intuitive message or a packet of healing energy at a spiritual level that a third-party observer would not see or hear.

The recipient does not need to be consciously aware of the message or energy that you deliver in order for the transfer to occur. A simple interaction, wrapped in positive intentions, will get through.

On occasion, strangers will respond to your initial communication by opening to you more completely. (If you’re an intuitive or a healer as part of your life purpose, then you already know what it’s like to have total strangers walk right up to you and start “telling you their life stories” or sharing really personal information with you.)

Whether it’s with strangers or with people you know very well, I believe that there are instances when information is being delivered where even the Messenger is not consciously aware of the energy exchange. It can happen sub-vocally, telepathically, spiritually, energetically — spirit guides and angels may be handling all the details…

All you really need to do to act as a vessel for Spirit is to listen to those nudges you receive and act on them by simply reaching out to a person or establishing a connection — positively, politely, subtly, and respectfully.

As long as you’re not motivated to “get attention” from other people for “being psychic” — if your intentions are truly selfless and sincere — trust that you will be guided to say the right thing.

Beyond Readings

Slade Roberson — Fri, 14 Oct 2011 13:03:01 +0000

Does the bulk of your professional intuitive practice depend on readings?
Are you staying consistently booked with readings every week or month?
Do your readings bring in the income you had hoped when you started?
Are you challenged to balance your rate with a steady flow of clients?

Hopefully, you really enjoy working with clients one-on-one. You find it thrilling to perform readings — or you at least find it very satisfying. It provides you with a meaningful, purposeful outlet.

No matter how much you enjoy doing readings…
No matter how much you do (or don’t) charge…

There is a limit to how many readings you can do.

There are only so many hours in a day, a week, a month.

Sharing your message one-to-one will take awhile.

At some point, you’ll feel that, in order to continue growing your practice, you need to reach more people.

What if thousands more people could benefit from your insights?
What if you could make your teaching more accessible — less expensive — even while raising your rates?

Run some numbers really quick:

Take the average amount of income you receive from readings in a month (n).
Multiply that number by five (n x 5).

How do you feel about that second number?

Maybe you assume I make most of my living doing readings. Actually, the vast bulk of my income is generated from my writings. I make at least five times more — in passive income — selling even the low cost downloads like The Money Shift than I do in talking to clients one on one.

How’s Your Book Coming Along?

A lot of my professional intuitive peers are also aspiring authors. Writing and publishing your own books and information products is our most common goal.

It makes sense, really:

Writers make great intuitives.
Intuitives are inevitably great communicators and teachers.

Automatic Author

I’m going to share with you the simple and practical system I use to automatically outline and execute all my tutorials, courses, workshops, workbooks, and ebooks.

It’s called Automatic Author. It definitely works for me.

And this writing system will work for you too.

No matter what type of publishing route you choose to take, first you’ve got to crack the code on quickly, easily completing your manuscripts. Lots of them.

One of my greatest intentions has always been to leave a trail of instructions, at each step of the way, so that if you want to share any part of my path, you can come along with me.

Write Your Book!

Intuition and Imagination

Slade Roberson — Wed, 28 Sep 2011 20:25:25 +0000

If I hand you a book and say “Here, take this” — you reach out to receive it. If I say “Here’s some coffee for you, take a sip” — you pick up the cup.

You successfully perform these actions automatically, without thinking about how you accomplish them.

You don’t think about the complex neurology, brain chemistry, and muscle responses that make it possible for to reach out, to receive, or to grasp. You don’t identify that the thumb and index finger did most of the hard labor while the pinky finger just kind of went along for the ride.

You’re not required to understand or to intellectually process the miraculous anatomy of your body in order to function.

Your intuitive channels function in a comparable automatic state — somewhere in between (or encompassing) the miraculous and the mundane.

You don’t have to understand how or why your intuition works in order to work it.

I receive innumerable questions from clients and students about the difference between imagination and intuition, about the relationship between the Thinking Mind and the Heart or the Spirit…

Intuition, instinct, impulse, inspiration, and imagination are like individual fingers on the same hand.

Intellectually understanding the mechanics involved or the relationship between the individual parts may be complex, confusing, mind-boggling, mysterious, miraculous… But automatically using the synergistic Whole in a practical synthesis is also commonplace.

In other words, if your goal is to use your intuition:

Thoughts are things, and these things have handles — words, images, feelings. If you can reach out and grab, if you can pick up and apply, if you can hold and manage, isn’t that really the bottom line? Isn’t that enough?

I’m more guilty than most of contributing to the over-analysis, of complicating the issue, navel-gazing and philosophizing and zooming in far deeper than is necessary or practical. I can claim that it’s my job to understand it and explain it, but outside this virtual classroom, I simply want to use my intuitive abilities to enhance my life, just like anybody.

I can assure you that intuition works, but intellectually knowing how or why may not necessarily contribute much to its practice — understanding may be an entirely tangential, meandering adventure, a path followed for the sheer joy of exploration. This may or may not put a paved, straight-shot commuter highway on the map anytime soon…

If you can grasp the tool, what can you build with it?
If you can pick up the key, what door might it unlock?
If you can pluck out a piece of the puzzle, where does it fit into your bigger picture?
If you can receive a brilliant idea, who can you share it with?
If you can hold power, how can you wield it?

How to Focus Psychic Abilities

Slade Roberson — Sat, 17 Sep 2011 12:12:49 +0000

Are you trying to “focus” your clairaudient intuition, your awareness of guiding voices, your psychic perception? Are you trying to concentrate and isolate these channels, to hear the “other voices” of your higher self, of your spirit guides?

Your full awareness — your total consciousness — includes your intuition, your subconscious, your emotions, your psychic abilities, your vibes, your gut… It’s bigger, broader, softer, looser, fuzzier — it encompasses much more than just your Thinking Mind.

Visualizing the Invisible
In this particular example, I’m going to elaborate about your clairaudience, but the same concepts apply to all the clair‘s.

Picture your psychic abilities, or your intuition, as the beam of a flashlight. When you concentrate — when you focus — you tighten up, you narrow, you limit the beam of your “hearing.”

Fig 1 — Normal Listening

Let’s say the above illustration represents multiple channels of information — other voices — on different levels:

The big White Wave represents the information you hear in your normal, real, everyday perception — say it’s me, talking to you — or your reading this article…
The smaller Gray Waves represent “other voices” — let’s say they are your spirit guides or your higher self…
The translucent White Circle represents the beam of your conscious awareness when you listen — what you’re paying attention to…

Or you could picture this as a car radio tuner:

The big White Wave is the station you’re hearing loud and clear…
The thin Gray Waves are the other voices — other stations — that are potentially in your range, if you just tune them in…
The White Circle is the dial you can adjust to pick up other stations…

You know how, sometimes, when you’re looking for something on the radio, you can set your dial between two stations, and actually hear both of them, overlapping? There may be a little noise, or static, one may be clearer and stronger than the other, but you can hear more than one station at the same time.

If you tune the dial up or down, to bring in one more clearly, you lose the other. But when you’re sitting on one “station” you have no idea what’s coming in on another station right next to it — even though the other stations are there.

If you tune in too tightly — if you focus or concentrate the beam of your perception too much — you end up with a smaller, narrower awareness, like this:

Fig 2 — Over-focused Listening

Focusing and concentrating with only your Thinking Mind does the opposite of picking up more — if you try to isolate or pinpoint or laser-focus your awareness, without knowing exactly where the best “spot” is, you end up narrowing the beam of your clairaudient intuition. You could point this narrow listening at three different places, and hit silence, noise, or a smaller section of what you’re already getting.

Here’s what narrow spots of clairaudient listening look like — these are limited expectations — what you think you’re supposed to be going for:

Fig 3 — Little Listening, All Over the Place

This lesson or instruction is channeled information from someone else’s spirit guides. I did a reading for a woman a few years ago who had powerful natural psychic ability. She asked me to ask her spirit guides how she could improve or develop her clairaudience — what could she do to hear them better.

What I’m trying to describe here is what they explained to me.

The sitter for that reading wrote back:

“I know that I am clairaudient — I know that I hear my spirit guides — but I’m not always clear what they’re saying, unless [certain moods, circumstances, or conditions apply]…”

Your Thinking Mind is the “culprit” in limiting your clairaudience, clairvoyance, and intuition. Look at your word choice: “I am clairaudient… but I’m not always clear… unless…” You are negating your ability and attaching expectations as well as conditions. You are identifying limitations.

“Okay. I can accept this. When you’re unaware of an aspect about yourself, and then it suddenly comes through to you in your field of perception, it’s often very difficult to see and understand. And that’s where I am at. I don’t totally mentally comprehend what you’re saying, but I can feel that it’s spot on. I think I need to just re-read it several times till it starts to sink in. What you’re suggesting is that I completely change the way I have been my whole life. (Not that I don’t agree with you that maybe it’s time that I try that, I do!) It’s just no small task. I’m not sure where to start in this mess of me. Any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated.”

Again, let’s say your intuitive abilities are like a flashlight:

You know how you can twist a flashlight to focus the beam into a tighter, brighter, smaller spot, or twist it the other way and it expands the circle of illumination with a looser, fuzzier pool of light?

Okay — don’t think “I need to change” as in “I need a new flash light.” You don’t even need to turn it on — it’s already on, it works.

What your guides are telling you about expanding and developing your intuitive abilities is this:

You experience limitations because that beam is too tightly focused. Don’t change it. There’s nothing wrong with it. Just allow it to become bigger, fuzzier, expansive — allow your definition of what is intuitive information to become looser, more relaxed.

The Goal for Hearing More:

Fig 4 — Psychic Intuition doesn’t begin as anything precise

Yes, listening clairaudiently will be fuzzier — it’s not a laser beam — it’s not about precision — you will see more and learn how to hear more and discern more in your psychic channel by letting it get bigger, softer.

Note how you’re catching more by doing the opposite of focusing or concentrating. With a big, broad, sloppy, relaxed intuition you’re more likely to pick up “a bunch of stuff” at the same time.

Then, you can start isolating within that “bigger bunch of stuff” — tightening up and tuning in and spotlighting a smaller area within the bigger source — then you know where to shine that focused beam — like this:

Fig 5 — Begin to focus after you find the right area to focus in

Your spirit guides are suggesting you change, but not as you expect. They’re not saying you can’t, you don’t, or you’ve got it all wrong. They’re just telling you to back away from that tiny spot of expectation and view the intuitive information from “higher up,” with a larger focal point.

Maybe to focus your psychic abilities, what you actually need to do is let the light you’re shining grow to illuminate more by twisting it in “the other direction.”

How Do You Respond to Someone Who May Be Suicidal or Mentally Disturbed?

Slade Roberson — Wed, 07 Sep 2011 14:55:22 +0000

Today I received an email from a woman who just seems to be… off.

She says she feels suicidal but she’s also experiencing a synchronicity involving a Gaelic word that means “sanctified.” She has not requested a reading or inquired about how to book a private session with me. She just writes “Can you help me?”

Honestly, I get a very bad vibe from this message. My first thought is someone is trying to mess with me; my second thought is that maybe this is serious, but I’m not sure what I could possibly do for her.

How do you handle emails from someone who might be potentially disturbed?”

Kate, Intuitive Consultant

Less Obvious/ Less Serious Circumstances

Sometimes, a person may approach you in a way that causes “alarms” to go off and “red flags” to start waving — you may not have anything specific or obvious that you can put your finger on — it may just feel “off” or “odd.”

Ignoring your intuition is one way to learn to honor your inner guidance — the hard way.

Trust that there’s a very good reason why your intuition or your instincts are triggered.

I recently had a powerful negative emotional reaction to a comment posted on my blog — I went against my gut, approved the comment, and attempted to answer the questions of someone who definitely felt “off” to me.

Within minutes, this person was bombarding my site with a flood of additional comments — attacking me personally, calling me every name in the book… Pure hatred and socially unacceptable behavior.

This always sucks. But, honestly, it happens much less often than I might have anticipated when I started doing this kind of work.

It happens very rarely, but it does happen.

Serious Circumstances (Physical Danger, Suicide)

When someone threatens suicide, confesses to feeling suicidal, just mentions the word “suicide” or even implies it indirectly by saying things like “I’m afraid of what I’ll do” — always take any instance surrounding suicide as real and serious.

Yes, there are people who throw the word “suicide” around loosely or imply it as a means of getting attention or emotionally manipulating others — BUT ask yourself:

What is the difference between someone “just saying it” and someone who is truly in crisis?

People who claim they are considering suicide to manipulate, mess with, control, upset, or get attention from other people are not emotionally healthy, anyway. Period.

You can never know the difference with 100% certainty, beyond a shadow of a doubt; therefore, you should always assume any threat of suicide has real potential.

All academic training programs in any type of coaching, counseling, therapy, and/or social work universally advise this approach.

As an intuitive, psychic, spiritual adviser, energy healer, alternative practitioner — whatever label you may use — you will inevitably encounter clients with clinical psycho-therapeutic issues.

What I mean by the word “clinical” is that their circumstances require licensed, professional attention. Depending on your own education, level of training and certification, you may or may not be equipped (legally or practically) to provide that degree of care.

As a spiritual intuitive, the Universe may have given you the task of delivering a critical piece of advice, at a specific time, pointing a person in the right direction toward the care she needs. It could be potentially life-saving, so don’t discount your role as “small” just because you are not the “final destination.”

Here’s how I might handle an email like the one you describe receiving:

“I’m really sorry that you’re going through such a hard time. I’m glad that you contacted me because I believe your reaching out represents a real opportunity for you to turn this situation around. Sometimes, the best way for God or our spirit guides or the Universe to assist us is by putting us in touch with real people, in the real world, who have the skills and resources to truly make a difference.

I am very concerned that you’re feeling suicidal and I want you to talk to someone who can help you better than I can…

Please call this number ______.”

Without contributing to the drama of the situation, simply be compassionate and acknowledge that she’s having a difficult time.
Commend her for reaching out to you (to anyone).
Let her know you want to be sure she receives the assistance she needs, and you cannot offer that (this may be due to geographical distance, the limitations of email, or your degree of training — be honest and say so).
What you can do is encourage her that it’s time to seek out another source of assistance, and direct her to contact a clinical psychotherapist, or a social worker, or a women’s shelter in her area, depending on her situation.

It helps to have a few national hotlines, web links, or other resources handy for specific circumstances — suicide, drug/alcohol abuse, domestic violence, pregnancy.

You can always do a quick web search before responding, but do that search for someone — put her at least one step closer to contacting the assistance she needs.

How do you handle it when you’re approached or contacted by someone “outside the comfortable norm” of your average client profile?

Psychic Boxes and Bubbles

Slade Roberson — Thu, 21 Jul 2011 15:07:40 +0000

The Oneness — the Connection between All Things — is central to your reality as an intuitive.

Some would argue that any “separateness” is an illusion — more an abstraction of reality than a fact.

Yet, to maintain the balance between your professional effectiveness and your well-being, working as an intuitive requires you to continually explore and manipulate perspectives of connection and separation.

Healthy Psychic Distance

In addition to rituals of psychic protection and energy clearing, there are ways to create healthy psychic distance — even when you’re in the middle of an intentional reading.

Sometimes you DO have to retreat into yourself.
When you’re physically ill, feeling tired or stressed or a little bit blue, the connection can cause discomfort, anxiety, or even pain — the sensitivity, the empathy, the input, the impulses and pulses of information, the psychic data — the vibes you normally might invite and labor to maintain can feel unwanted, unmanageable, and unhealthy.

Little Boxes

Instead of avoiding your intuition or totally yanking the plug on a reading, “put a box around” the information. In clinical psychotherapeutic terminology, the concept is very similar to “compartmentalization.”

Choose to identify exterior thoughts and feelings as separate from your own — and contained within a different energetic space and/or contained away from your mind and body.

Clairvoyance
Visualize the images you receive as existing inside a frame, or viewed through a window, or appearing on a monitor (like a television or computer screen).

Clairaudience
You can often control psychic sound as you might a stereo or other audio equipment. Imagine yourself manipulating the controls on a radio, such as turning the volume down or changing channels. You can even hit the mute button or turn it off.

Blow Bubbles

Clairsentience
It’s a little trickier to impose psychic distance when emotions are involved. If you’re an empath, you’ve probably grown accustomed to absorbing the emotional vibes of other people and mistakenly accepting these feelings as your own.

You can control much of this phenomenon by consciously identifying that some of the emotions you experience are not your own.

Creating this “psychic box” may require a bit of visualization as well as feeling. Picture yourself, other people — every other entity — as dwelling inside a bubble, like Glinda the Good Witch.

Question the origin of the emotions:

Who do these feelings belong to?
When and where did they originate?
When and where did you come into contact with them?

Claircognizance
The very definition of claircognizance is direct thought download — thoughts are just there. You just know, and you don’t know how, when, or why you came to know.

Adapt the bubbles visualization from the section above on clairsentience — impose the concept of separation and compartmentalization. Then, invoke an interior animation or instant replay of events. Ask your spirit guides to supply information.

Investigate the origin of the thoughts, facts, data, or ideas:

Did these thoughts belong to someone else?
When and where were they first channeled, created, or manifested?
When and where — and perhaps by whom — were they projected to you?

By employing boxes and bubbles, you can remain consciously aware while imposing just a little — just enough — psychic distance.

What techniques do you use in this context that the rest of us might like to borrow?
Please share in the comments.

How to Read Auras

Slade Roberson — Fri, 01 Jul 2011 13:05:04 +0000

The How to Read Auras audio class is now available for download!

Featuring an Alternative Method for scanning energy and reading auras that absolutely anyone can learn — even if you don’t think you’re all that “clairvoyant.”

I don’t see auras in a “classic” way at all.

For years, I told myself “I must not be very clairvoyant” because I didn’t see energy or auras around people in the way I always saw them depicted or heard them described. But, then, I studied with a clairvoyant teacher who immediately showed me — with this one simple shift in perspective — an unrecognized ability to read auras and interpret the meanings of Messages in the form of spiritual colors.

Release what you “think” you “should” see when scanning a person’s energy. Auras don’t necessarily conform to the shape of a body or look anything like the imagery you usually see associated with auras in New Age illustrations.

If you can picture a scene in your Mind’s Eye when you’re reading a story or a novel, then you can absolutely use the Alternative Method to scan, read, and interpret a client’s aura.
