During a hypnotherapy session, you will experience a mild trance state. Contrary to popular belief, you will be awake, fully conscious of what you are choosing to say, and in control of your experience much like you would be while playing a video game. It is not like talking in your sleep. Unlike a video game, there is the opportunity to have visceral sensations within your experience using internal versions of the five senses. Real memories, perhaps forgotten, can not only come alive but expand with new insights and perspectives. Imaginary or symbolically rich metaphorical landscapes can creatively and playfully inspire connection to hard-to-grasp emotional states or ideas… - Video! Intuition Tips, Collective vs. Individual Will, Secrets…
A new YouTube interview where we discuss secrets and understanding collective vs. individual will and responsibility. Along the way we explore honing intuition, how to “heal” completely, sex vs. intimacy, what the astrology of the next few years might bring, and more! - Do Scandals, Technology, or Dreams Best Define a Generation? Part 2
This is the second part of our exploration of using Outer Planets in astrology to define generations and understand their differences. This section will give real-world examples and details that explain what the current placements for Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto might mean. How do these planets behave in concrete terms, how do they affect generational groups, and what does that mean for the young folk and our future?… - Do Scandals, Technology, or Dreams Best Define a Generation?
Boomer, Millennial, Gen X, Y, Z, Indigo or Rainbow Child? What year were you born? Where do you belong? What year is the cut-off? Does my birth bracket even define my true leanings? “We are all One” and boundaries belong to the patriarchy, you unenlightened enemy to progress. Not defining your pronoun boundaries suggests you are culturally insensitive and part of the problem. Where is it wrong or right to collectively define a wall? Why is it so darn confusing? Can astrology help us understand why different generations are so weird?… - Twin Flames, Soul Mates & Karmics: Who is “The One”?
The real-talk version of: what are Twin Flames, Soul Mates, and Karmic relationships, and how do I call in the love I feel I am ready for? This is the main topic that comes up in the majority of tarot readings. You don’t need to book a session to find this one out. You don’t need to keep searching the Internet for some glossy but ultimately impractical information that will guarantee a heart-aching, time-consuming goose chase. Have a golden egg instead… - YouTube Interview on Why It All Might Feel Crazy Rn (Part One)
Nora Yolles Young, wonderful hypnotherapist and teacher, had a casual chat with me on her podcast “The Experience!” about astrology, the craziness of the times, general mysticism, this and that. The conversation will be continued. If you have specific topics… Read more: YouTube Interview on Why It All Might Feel Crazy Rn (Part One) - Regret Celebrating Lion’s Gate or Not? : A Reality Check
I wasn’t inspired enough to post this until the end of this “magical” 8/8 day. My understanding of what the day was or is supposed to be is complicated by the reality of a collective undergoing serious structural changes. I am not writing this to bash die-hard or newly converted New Age enthusiasm, but I am going to touch a little on confusion around cultural appropriation of “ancient” holidays. This article is really aimed at those who feel like they’re supposed to be celebrating Lion’s Gate or know exactly what it means and are too embarrassed to admit they might not really have a clue or are getting mixed messages about it. … - Are Psychics Creeps? : Secrets Are the Easiest* Thing to Read
There are different signals a psychic picks up from a person. Each reader will have their own set of specific tools naturally attuned to them for reading, just as musicians tend to have a preferred instrument or two. One of them works a bit like a lie detector test might, in that it is measuring something of a stress-emotional response to different stimuli, questions, internal thoughts. These tools, by the way, can be taught to anyone, just as anyone can theoretically learn to read body language. … - Difference between a Reader and a Mystic : Which One is Better?
A Reader will identify where the way is clear and where the fallen trees are blocking your path. A Reader helps guide you on your way. A Mystic does the same but is also committed to energetically removing the obstacles. A Mystic cannot be anything other than a catalyst and space holder for transformation to take place. If you’re not sure which intuitively appeals more, here’s a very quick multiple choice quiz to help determine which is better for you: … - Tips to Get the Most out of a Tarot/Astrology Reading
Seeking a reading is going to someone with a cup. The emptier that cup is, the more you’re able to fill it. Is there a hole in the cup? Is the cup already full, so when you try to fill it with something new, that new liquid starts to go in but mainly just ends up spilling off over the edges and making a mess everywhere? Should you just get a bigger cup? … - My Least Favorite Tarot Questions : Or, on Magical Ethics & the Cult of Disempowerment
There are two primary reasons one might be drawn to “magic”: a) disempowerment and b) efficiency. Confusion, uncertainty, a conscious or not-so-conscious sense of victimization by superficial circumstances and a little errant emotion to fuel it all seems to generally be the recipe for motivating one to seek out intangible leverage in life via the magical path. This is another way of describing disempowerment, the ever-present shadow of self-realization. … - Why Obsess over Astrology? : Thoughts on My Favorite Modality
It took a while to believe there could be a benefit in studying what is generally considered to be pseudoscience. I don’t need to list internationally recognized geniuses across history who had a fondness for astrology to justify its merit. I could care less what the general population thinks. Most people sleep through the daily gift of an exquisite sunrise, but they still happen, and life carries on. The occult’s historical disinformation campaign is unparalleled. These arts and their practice were, after all, intended to be kept secret…
