Go with the Flow

Last night I decided to go for a swim to clear my mind.

As I was floating in the water and looking up at the stars, I got the idea for this blog entry. I heard my guides say, go with the flow. You see, much like life, when you swim you must either float and ride with the waves or swim along with them. If you try to go against the current, you will undoubtedly find your task much more difficult, and perhaps near impossible (unless you're an expert swimmer of course).

Singing is also quite a bit like this. When I first began my training as a singer, I used to watch all of the big time opera stars, classical singers, Broadway singers, pop singers, and anybody else that I enjoyed listening to and I would try to incorporate their facial movements and tendencies into my own singing. The problem with this however, was that I wasn't letting myself find my own style, the one that suited me best and was the most natural. After a few years of incorrect vocal guidance, and struggling more than any other singer around me, I finally got a great teacher who had to helped me to recognize and truly break my negative habits. This process took me a good year and a half to accomplish and I  practice nearly every day. Now when I sing, I know exactly how to place the vowels I need to phonate (specific positions of the mouth, tongue, etc... gets too complicated) and I just trust myself to go to that comfy place and let the sound flow without force, gently from my body. By finally finding my own personal placement and style, I was finally able to get a great sound. The way I did this was by letting go and just going with the flow.

Are you struggling in life? Are you trying to swim against a large tidal wave of problems, gossip, hard work, money issues, and any other worldly issues? Stop fighting them! Yes, you're going to have many problems and difficult situations in your life-- some may take you years to overcome-- but you have got to accept them, and then release them. If you believe in the Universe or in God, as I do, then seek to release your problems to Heaven. Ask your angels to buoy your faith and to absorb all negative thought patterns and transmute them into love and light, so that you may be free and at peace.

Please, as you go throughout your day and your week, just take a moment to breathe and listen to yourself. Are you happy with your life the way it is right now? Is there a job or a relationship that you maintain simply because it's become a habit or you're afraid of letting it go and not having something better to replace it? Take a moment to just step back, look inside yourself and recognize when your actions are coming from a place of fear or love. You'll know because if it's out of fear, you'll feel a lot of negativity, fear, and possibly a "gripping feeling" in your heart. If it's in line with your truth and from love, you'll feel total peace within your heart.


It is only when we truly let go, that we can be truly free.


Blessings of Love and Light,

Welcome.

Hello and welcome to Spotlight on Spirit!
 

I suppose that the best way to begin this journey together would be to introduce myself.

My name is Katherine and I am just your average person trying to express her gifts to the world through my writing, the spoken word, and my music. I am currently a college student who will be graduating in about 6 months with a BA in Music (Vocal studies) and a minor in Biology. I plan to spread intuition through my music.

I'm also a Reiki level II certified healer, and as such I can send Reiki healing energy to any living being in the entire world and in all directions of time.

My personal gifts are a bit different for society's typical taste, however. While I am a classically trained singer, I have also been given the gift of heightened intuition. What exactly do I mean by this? Well... I see things, I hear things, I feel things, and I just know things that are outside of this third dimensional world and that the average person doesn't naturally experience.

How do I know I'm not crazy? Well, believe me I've asked myself that question before. Fortunately, God/the Universe, my guides, and the angels have a way of giving us signs that we are on the right path. We just have to listen and pay attention to them. Through such experiences and by asking for validation and signs that are third-dimensional and completely obvious, indisputable, and just so in-your-face that you have no choice but to notice them... the message given becomes clear as day.

 So what exactly are my specific intuitive gifts? I have been lucky enough to be blessed with all four of the main "clairs."

I am clairvoyant-- I see visions of people, things, and situations... anything that needs to be shown for a reading or question. This clair is very much like watching a movie or looking at Google images of certain objects and people for me. Sometimes I’ll even get words written out for me that I can read. This happened once in a reading for me when I was requesting a time line for an event and saw “3 months” in bright red in my inner vision.

I am clairaudient—I hear spoken words, sentences, music, and even long paragraphs of information in my inner ear given to me by the guides and angels.

I am clairsentient—I feel the emotions of those around me that I am close to emotionally, physically, and any emotions or feelings associated with a situation that need to be noted. This is often the basis of intuition—it’s your “gut” feeling. It’s that feeling you get in the pit of your stomach when you know you just hurt another’s feelings, or when someone near you just lost a loved one or is sick and you just feel that something is wrong.

I am claircognizant—I often just know things without knowing always how I know them. Often this happens to me when a message needs to be downloaded into my consciousness immediately. This happens a lot in emergency situations that I have to knowledge of until I get my message. Then I just know what’s up and what to do about it. This is probably the hardest “clair” to explain or try to understand. It’s like your brain is a computer and just downloaded an update on software automatically. Even though you didn’t request this download, it happened to benefit you and you know it is nonetheless very real and true.

So why are there so many different ways to receive information? Well, that’s a good question. I believe, and from what I've been told by my guides, that we get the information in the best way for us and the specific message. For instance, sometimes it's perfect to just know something. You go about your day, and suddenly you just know not to take that exit on the highway, because it's backed up for miles. Or you may feel that something is bothering your spouse. If you need a "visual" of what the future holds if things continue as is, or if you need to stop in your tracks and pay attention (like me sometimes), it may be best to see the situation through what I like to call "streaming video," similar to watching a video clip of a situation in your minds eye. If you need to receive the message through a song that pops in your head, or a streaming thought (that often is not actually you thinking... your guides sound like your own inner voice), then that's how it will be delivered.

I also have been blessed with the gift of mediumship. I can connect with loved ones around a person who wish to deliver a message, and channel any messages that need to be heard from guides and angels. Please note that I do not work with any lower level energies in any work that I do. I make sure of this by always saying a prayer to God and asking for Archangel Michael to only allow positive energy and entities in. I also always am sure to reground myself and disconnect from a reading once it is finished. This ensures my own health and safety as well as preparing me to be a pure, cleansed vessel for any proceeding readings.

I not only can connect with loved ones, but I also can clearly receive messages from your angels and guides. Most all of my readings that I give contain messages from at least one or the other for you. If there is a message to deliver-- I deliver it. I even do this in my day-to-day life. Even when someone doesn't know that I'm a psychic medium or any of that side to me, I still get visions and messages for them. I simply present it in a way that keeps the focus on them but still delivers the message. To do this,  I'll often say, "well I could really see you doing such and such." Most people will respond happily (or at least in a "yeah, that makes sense" kind of way), as most of the time they secretly want this wish to come true, but never talk about it.

So why Spotlight on Spirit? Well there are actually a couple of reasons behind this. Eventually, I will incorporate my own music into this project of mine. I write and sing songs that are inspired through my intuition. As a singer in my every day life, normally the spotlight is directly focused on me. But it's time for the focus to be on your own inner spiritual journey. It's time for the spotlight to be on spirit.

The purpose of this blog is to validate that we are never alone and that we are always surrounded by love. This is also the reason why I choose to give readings. We always have the capability to love, if we so choose. As it always is with any form of spiritual discovery, take whatever resonates with you and leave behind, without judgment, whatever doesn't "ring true" for you. Discover your own personal truth and learn to live it to the fullest with faith in yourself and the universe to always support you in your truth.

And thus the journey begins...


Blessings of Love and Light,
Katherine
