Does Your Psychic Tell you Everything?

July 25, 2017 by @candesscampbell

When I was first in training to develop my psychic abilities I was so excited to learn. I practiced with a friend who also took the classes. She was a nurse and I was a mental health counselor so I could see that her filter was physical and mine mental and emotional. We each had our strong suits, but we read the way we were taught.

[clickToTweet tweet=”Clarify a Decision with a Psychic Reading! http://bit.ly/2hGeB1D” quote=”Connect with a Loved One with a Psychic Reading!”]

One tool we learned was how to see how “programmable” a person was. That was important. Some people take everything they hear and act on it without consulting their own inner guidance. I think it may have been Sylvia Brown who said that a good psychic is about 80 – 85 % accurate. I’m grateful that I get a lot of positive feedback from clients regarding my readings. Nevertheless, I always tell clients and friends to listen to yourself over any psychic, including me.

On a radio show where I was a guest, a young man called in who was entering into the military. The image I saw was that he would be in danger and may not come home. It was a split second decision I made to offer him to talk with me in private. I shared some positive information about him on the radio show and avoided talking about the blasts I saw all around him. In private I was able to read the situation and clear some contracts and curses that increased his ability to be safe.

Another situation was when I was teaching a Reiki class. One of my friends was taking the class and when I worked on her and showed the class how to get psychic information as they worked, I saw her body was full of cancer. Later, when we were in private I asked her if she was interested in what I saw. After telling her I saw cancer, she looked at me in shock, told me I was wrong and her denial about her situation was ignored. A few months later she joined the angels. Although I wondered if telling her were the right decision or not, my knowing she was full of cancer allowed me to be with her, comfort her and be healing in her life.

More recently a friend asked me to see if I could get any information on her lost dog. I thought about this, being a dog owner myself. It was a difficult choice to share or not. In this case, I saw the dog was safe and told her so. The images I got other than knowing the dog was safe was not necessary to share. It could have caused more confusion and pain.

You can see that being told everything the psychic sees can be confusing and overwhelming. I think that is the value of having over 30 years experience as a counselor. I like to focus on what with support the client and remove that which creates pain and suffering.

What clients generally receive from readings can differ, but listed below are some of the ways they benefit.

Validation

Most often when I do a reading with a client they feel validated. They may come with a sense to the answer to their question. Having a psychic validate what they already know can be invaluable. It allows them to stop rehearsing the question in their mind, and relax and go on. And, it feels great!

Peace of Mind

When a client gets a reading and finds out the “why” of a situation, it can bring peace. Whether the issue has to do with a past life or a spiritual contact, it is helpful to understand why a job or relationship plays out the way it does. So often it gives my client permission to accept what is happening and to understand they are not responsible. All of us have contracts to complete.

Clarity

So often we need clarity. We get caught up in our view and stuck in our resistance and some clarity can be really helpful. The chakras that I read are full of information. Whatever is coming up for you is related to one of your chakras being out of balance. I use muscle testing to see which chakra and go about clearing, reading and answering your questions. I can attest to how important this is, as I also use a psychic friend to assist me when I need help.

Connection with a Loved One

What I love the most is seeing a client open their heart when I connect with their loved one who has passed over. When they see me connect to their loved one and they feel them in their heart, it is amazing. Not everyone who has passed over has been loving and kind. Helping a client understand what happened and why can be a powerful healing. When I connect with their person, it is a shared experience between myself and the client – seeing, knowing and feeling the person that they lost.

Interested in a reading?

If this is your first, I suggest a 30 minute reading.

Healing Hands

April 26, 2017 by @candesscampbell

Richard Gerber shares in his book Vibrational Medicine, “Laying-on-of-hands healing has been practiced throughout the world for thousands of years. In the late 1700s, Franz Mesmer theorized that subtle life energy of a magnetic nature was exchanged between healer and patient during laying-on-of-hands. Mesmer also discovered that water could effectively store this subtle force for transfer to sick patients in need of healing.”

When teaching Reiki healing for many years, I told my students that we all have the ability to heal. Many clients experienced their own ability to feel energy and heal themselves as well as others in this process.

An illustration of this principle involved a client of mine with cancer who was in the hospital preparing for surgery. I asked my students to meet me there and use Reiki to help calm her and assist in the healing process. When the doctors located a blood clot and could not operate, I invited my students, as well as the client’s mother and sister, to assist me in laying hands on the client. After talking with the nurse in charge, I understood the clot needed to dissolve before they could operate. We all imaged this as we did the healing. A period of a half hour or so went by, and when I felt an immediate sense that the healing was complete, I asked the nurse to check again. They did, and the clot was gone. The client was subsequently able to receive the needed surgery, the mother and sister of the patient were able to be helpful, and my students’ confidence in their healing ability increased. It was a glorious day!

We are all connected to the Source, and we all have the ability to channel this love. You can begin by just placing your hands on your loved ones and begin to feel your own ability to heal. You can also practice on your pets. They love it. Well, cats sometimes won’t allow the healing energy unless they are ill, but you can try. Take time in the evening and rub your hands together and place them over your face and just breath. You’ll be amazed!

Music and Connecting with Dad on the Other Side!

April 19, 2017 by @candesscampbell

In the final post in this series of Connecting with your Guides I’d like to share a recent experience. When you receive information from your guides or a loved one, it will probably come as a cluster of information all at once. Then you can sit with the information and untangle the images and information you receive for clarity. We receive information in four ways.

Clairsentience or “clear feeling”

Clairsentience comes from your feelings and physical sensations. When you begin to develop this sense, it is important to slow down and notice how you feel in certain situations.

Claircognizance or “clear knowing”

When you find you just know something, but cannot explain why, this can be claircognizance. This information may be coming from your Higher Self or you may be tapping into the Collective Unconscious.

Clairaudience or “clear hearing”

Clairaudience is when you hear information. These voices can be from different sources.

Clairvoyance or “clear seeing”

With clairvoyance you may see images and understand the meaning of these visions.

Last weekend I went to listen to music by Janet and Brett Dodd, local singer/songwriters. I had been worried about a little girl whose father is alcoholic and often unstable. When I was listening, they played a song that reminded me of the music I listened to with my dad when I was a little girl. All of the sudden I sensed my dad near me. (Clairsentience) He showed me an image of this child and her father and a strong karmic bond. (Clairvoyance) All of the sudden I understood that although I worry about her, she is on her path. (Claircognizance) Then I heard my dad tell me he loved me and to just be there when she needs me. (Clairaudience)

Now, this all happened within seconds and tears rolled down my cheeks. It was so powerful, overwhelming, and exciting and I was full of love. Music has been a staple for me in my emotional healing. My heart-felt gratitude to Janet and Brett Dodd for providing the opportunity for this healing and thanks to all my local music friends!

I hope this series has helped you connect with your Guides and Loved Ones. If you would like to schedule a session with me for a Psychic Medium Reading, we can do the session in person, via Skype or the phone.

The Dilettante (Amateur) Archetype

December 30, 2016 by @candesscampbell

Enjoy a guest blog from Cheyenne Mendel, Goddess extraordinaire!

“From a Latin root meaning “to delight in,” the Dilettante is a lover of the fine arts who never rises above the level of an amateur, and to whom the phrase “jack of all trades, master of none” applies. Although the word has the negative connotation of a dabbler who seeks only a cursory knowledge or experience, it never completely loses the sense of delighting in the arts. The Amateur, from the Latin root for “love,” has many of the same qualities of the Dilettante applied to the realm of sports or applied arts such as cooking and gardening. In many cases it’s better to be an inspired amateur than a grind-it-out professional. Like the survival archetypes, the Dilettante or Amateur can alert you when you are in danger of becoming merely superficial in your pursuits, or losing the love that drew you to your avocation in the first place. The shadow Dilettante manifests as a pretension to much deeper knowledge than you actually possess.” – Caroline Myss

If you have not blessed yourself with any of Caroline Myss’s books or teachings I highly recommend it. They are life changing.

“VENICE” by Rowan Lyford

I realize now the archetype of the Dilettante came to me early 2016 when I went into the local artisans gallery in Crestone, Colorado. I saw this painting entitled “VENICE” and was immediately smitten. I love art but I have never considered myself an artist of any kind.

I could not get the painting out of my mind and would walk by to make sure it was still there. I realized I had to secure it for myself and plopped $700 down on it. I had never really purchased a painting let alone spend that kind of money.

I discovered it was painted by a 17-year-old girl named Rowan. I was amazed by how much it inspired me and it also turned out to be a feng shui cure to help sell my business.

In 2016 I took up piano lessons. I had them in the 2nd and 3rd grade but during the times I was supposed to be practicing, bad things were happening to me at home. I had “collapsed” (a Landmark Education term) the abuse with playing the piano. I never touched the piano again for decades.

I myself have been and acupuncturist for 26 years. I have had the privilege of treating over 30,000 sessions and chances are for years and years I have spent most of my days standing with people and working on them. Like me, there are many other specialist in fields that require tons of education like physicians for example, who have not explored the Dilettante simply for lack of time.

I would say anyone who spends 10,000 hours let alone 30,000 would be an expert in that field. I am not used to being an amateur. Crawling when I am used to running doesn’t feel great. Ego crushing at times!

The benefits of artistic expression are numerous and undeniable when practiced. Being able to do something for the sheer joy of it is inspirational and miraculous.

Another bucket list item for me was dance. Just this month, I enrolled in a studio for a 6 week two-step country swing class and it has been pure pleasure. For me the best part is “being led”. I have to lead in so many other areas of my life. To be able to let go and flit around the dance floor to honkey tonk music has been a blast.

In the Dec 2016/ Jan 2017 Reader’s Digest article, Kurt Vonnegut writes, ‘What I have to say to you, moreover will not take long, to wit: Practice any art – music, singing, dancing, acting, drawing, painting, sculpting, poetry, fiction, essays, reportage – no matter how well or badly, not to get money or fame, but to experience becoming, to find out what is inside of you, to make your soul grow.”

He goes on to say “Write a poem and make it the best you possible can. Don’t tell anyone what you are doing. Don’t share it with anyone. Tear it into tiny pieces and discard them widely in different receptacles.”

The Dilettante experiences art for the joy of it. The huge popularity of the show THE VOICE speaks to how much the population is thirsty for pure inspiration and joy in artistry.

The artist Prince died April 21, 2016. I cried for three weeks and then again even months later. Why? I never understood the crying I saw around me when Elvis died. I was 9 years old. All these people did not know Elvis. I now understand. I did not know Prince personally nor did I ever attend one of the famous Paisley Park pop up concerts, but the love and artistry and high frequency and how he conducted his life, left a big impression in my heart. Every time someone we know or someone who touches us dies, we take inventory of our life and the meaning of it and what brings meaning to it.

So if the Dilettante is knocking I recommend letting him or her in. The water is very fine.

“You’ve gotta dance like there’s nobody watching, Love like you’ll never be hurt, Sing like there’s nobody listening, and live like it’s heaven on earth.” – William W. Purkey

You have the Power!

November 9, 2016 by @candesscampbell

You have power over your mind – not outside events.

Realize this, and you will find strength.

Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

Being healthy, feeling peaceful and calm, and manifesting abundance are all related to being grounded and centered in your life. As an intuitive reader what I see the most in clients, is they are not grounded and not in present time.

It’s helpful for the body to have a sense of feeling grounded. You can do this by closing your eyes, taking a deep breath and imagining a grounding cord coming from the base of your spine below the tailbone. This grounding cord can be like a waterfall, a beam of light or a tree trunk. The grounding cord goes down through the chair, floor, and down into the fiery center of Mother Earth.

Your body feels safe when you are grounded. You can release energy, tension, fear, and anxiety down the grounding cord which helps to prevent stress and in turn may prevent illness. Grounding is a self- healing tool. You and more able to manifest when your are grounded and in present time.

The Vampire Archetype!

October 19, 2016 by @candesscampbell

The creativity of your subconscious mind not only shows up in dreams, but also shows up as archetypes in your life. Archetypes are overlying patterns that show up in all cultures that are seeded in the psyche. Some examples of archetypes are mother, judge, teacher and healer. When you begin to look at these patterns in your life, you can unleash your creative energy.

[clickToTweet tweet=”Who are the Vampires in your Life?” quote=”With Halloween around the corner and an expectation of ghosts and goblins knocking at my door – I thought this would be a great time to share about the Vampire Archetype!”]

Many cultures are intrigued and fascinated with vampires. Vampires were mythological figures that lived off the essence of others by drinking their blood.

Honestly, they give me the creeps, but the adrenaline rush others get from the scariness of blood and gore may be part of the attraction. There is a seductive nature to the vampire as well.

A person with the Vampire Archetype tends to live off of the energy essence of others. Have you ever felt drained by someone you worked with, even if they didn’t talk much? Do you have people in your life that seem to steal your energy? Do you have friends that exhaust you just by being with them?

Maybe you have the Vampire Archetype. After spending time with someone, do you feel energized and then you notice they look like all the blood drained from their face. Do you find others avoid you? Do you come off as clingy or needy? Are you continually looking to others for validation or to make you feel better?

Historically, in many dramas, real or written, the Vampire Archetype has been featured in many male and female relationships. In these cases, there is eroticism between the vampire and his conquest. The female is repelled by the vampire, but also drawn into the sexual nature of the submissiveness. In this case, the male overpowers the female, taking her energy for himself. Today, this archetype may be underlying many domestic abuse situations.

[clickToTweet tweet=”A person with the Vampire Archetype tends to live off of the energy essence of others. ” quote=”A person with the Vampire Archetype tends to live off of the energy essence of others. “]

Currently, people are more aware of the energy around their body, of energy exchange, and how they feel when they are around others. A woman with a Vampire Archetype may come off as loving and helpful, but when she leaves, you may feel like she took a piece of you with her. She may continually ask you for more than you can give or do. She may complain constantly. Maybe you have had a relationship with a man and ended it and he won’t leave. He may continue to cling to you or even stalk you. The codependent relationship may fit into this category.

[clickToTweet tweet=”Do you have people in your life that seem to steal your energy?” quote=”Do you have people in your life that seem to steal your energy?”]

Rather than vampires looking gory and dressing in black and gray with blood dripping down, today they look like anyone else in your life. Much of my work for the last 25 years has been around energy and energy medicine. As an intuitive reader I look into the aura and the chakras of my clients and can see where they are losing power, where they are either giving their power away or being attacked.

When someone attaches to you or hits you energetically, you are drained, depressed and sometimes somewhat paralyzed. When you are managing your own energy within yourself and not enmeshed with others, not trying to control others or attaching to others, you feel good!

Previously, I psychically read a woman who had been attacked by another woman who was envious of her. She experienced being hit energetically. When this happened, she felt slimed. As soon as she identified this feeling, I was able to look at her energetically and see who hit her and why. I cleared her energy field right away and put up protection so this could not continue to happen. The person who attacked her has the Vampire Archetype. With further investigation, I understood the language the attacker continually uses is one of lack. She has a scarcity perception. She attaches to others and attacks others, for their life force, rather than understanding that she can fill herself up from within. Instead of being grateful, she focuses on what others have, turns green with envy and becomes toxic. Instead of being full of self-love and loving others, she is continually full of judgment and fear. Although she presents herself as being knowledgeable, slyly her toxicity affects everyone around her.

What do you do if you have a person like this in your life? You can learn to ground yourself and run your own energy (earth and cosmic) and set up protection. I have many meditation tools and videos you can access to do this on my website. You can focus in your heart and bring your attention up out of your crown chakra at the top of your head. See the person there and for three seconds see them receiving a ball of golden white Light, of Love from the Universe. Then let them go. Do this as often as you need to release them from your thoughts. It will be up to the person as to whether they will receive this clearing or not. You though, have in part cleared yourself from their negativity and their energy.

What if you have the Vampire Archetype? You can balance yourself by giving to others without expectation. First, keep your energy clear with the same meditation tools and videos I mentioned above and allow yourself to receive in ways that give you a sense of personal power and self-worth. You can volunteer or help out those around you. Find a counselor or life coach to help you heal the past so that you can be healthy in the present.

If you’re not consciously aware of your energy and how the Vampire archetype is affecting you, you may notice the vampire showing up in your dreams. You may dream you have an encounter with a person or an entity that drains you. You may be paralyzed or even gorier, lose blood. Whether the vampire image in the dream is fictional or someone you know, the vampire sneaks up and suddenly has taken your life force.

Dreams can be scary even though they are coming as a message from your Higher Self. Taking time to work with dreams can be empowering and guide you to take action in your life. If you want to explore your dreams, the book I recommend is Realities of the Dreaming Mind: The Practice of Dream Yoga by Swami Sivananda Radha.

By understanding and working with the Vampire Archetype, you will learn to protect yourself, or if it is your archetype to heal yourself and access your natural path of health and move toward your Divine Soul purpose.

Here is your chance to leave feedback about your experiences of people who have shown up as Vampires in your life! I will be happy to share with you some tools to protect yourself from being attached and losing energy!
