Signs and Things To Ask In A Reading~

Do you often see Hawks and know that your Angels, Spirit Guides or departed loved ones are around in Spirit? Do ladybugs or dragonflies mean anything to you? Did you smile when you saw the image of the sunflowers, the hummingbird? Do you often see number patterns? Do you dream the same dream regularly?


If you see things often and on repeat and are wondering why, it is because your Guides are trying to get a message to you! If you notice something, if it gets your attention, then there is a message. Your Spirit Guides are ALWAYS guiding and communicating with you. They are always responding to your thoughts, wishes, plans and actions. In an Akashic Records reading we connect with YOUR Spirit Guides and we can ask how yours are showing up for you. If you have already figured this out then we can ask if it has changed or is something new here to consider.

Whenever someone books an Akashic Records Reading appointment with me, I always say that nothing is off-limits. I firmly believe that your Spirit Guides have brought you to me, have even brought you to reading this blog-post or newsletter. Your Spirit Guides are orchestrating on your behalf and they want to help you have the experiences that you are meant to be having here. Even if you don't know what exactly those experiences are, your Spirit Guides do. So between the time you make your appointment to the time we actually have it, I encourage you to pay attention to things that happen in that time period and write them down along with any questions you already have. You may have a dream that blows your mind, or a conversation that stirs you up or an experience that knocks you down.


Usually there is a reason the appointment is happening when it is happening and that is also why I don't sweat if it gets rescheduled. I trust so completely in this process because I know I am not in charge here. I am simply the messenger trying to interpret what your Spirit Guides want you to know, hear and understand. They are using me because of my knowledge, my experiences, my vocabulary and my understanding of things. They might draw you to a different "reader" for different information. Because I am a positive thinker and enthusiast to my core, a session with me will most always be positive and up-lifting. No information ever comes through from your Guides that you aren't ready for in any way and your Guides know what and how much you can handle. That's not to say I don't share "hard stuff". I do. I definitely do. I just present it in a way that allows you to have a healthy perspective around it, a deep understanding of it, so that it doesn't feel so hard.


Spirit Guides are not departed loved ones and yes, we all have them. We all have at least 2 and some of us have more depending on what we are doing this lifetime. Your Guides love you unconditionally. You can't tick them off. You can't chase them away. You can't disappoint them and you can't take so many, "I'm out in left field", detours that they finally give up. They will never ever ever ever ever abandon you. They will never ever ever ever give up trying to guide you to the next best and highest version of your Self. They will send you message after message after message, thousands of ways each and every day and night. If you aren't hearing the messages or, hearing them but not acting on them, then the messages get bigger and louder and they move towards orchestrating a big ol' wake-up call. These are the health crises, the car accidents, the relationship endings, the job losses.


Yes, they love you and yes, they sometimes have to resort to unpleasant things to get you to wake up and pay attention. This is usually when I get a call. It is my job to help you make sense of this wake-up call or whatever it is you are struggling with, challenged with or just really want to understand. It doesn't always take a trauma for you to call. You may not have any trauma at all in your life. You may just feel a nudge to live in more connection with your Guides. You may want to develop your own intuition more. Regardless, your Guides, if you found me, have brought you to me for a reason - for you to move into that next highest version of yourself, for you to find peace or even inspiration or perhaps even to find trust in the process of life. I never know how a call will go and am continually amazed and awed at what comes through.


When we live a life hand-in-hand with our Guides we can reap tremendous benefits of feeling and knowing that:

  • we are never alone

  • we are always supported

  • we are being helped

  • we are being guided

  • we can't get lost

  • we can't take a "wrong" turn

  • we don't have to take things so seriously (because our Guides are really funny and they want you to laugh more. So do our departed loved ones for that matter)

  • things always work out

  • our highest good is always being served

  • whatever happens is meant to happen, even that thing you said to your friend you wish you wouldn't have said. (Little FYI here -Your friends Guides used you to say that thing and get a message to your friend)

  • the universe is a friendly and safe place

  • everything means something

I realize that this might seem idyllic or a bit "pie-in-the-sky"; yet, the more we live from this divine, unseen connection, the closer we get to living these as our truths. When we live these as our truths, then, well, think about it- how differently would life look for you? If you can do one simple things today, one simple thing- let yourself begin to believe that you have divine Spirit Guides around you on your side. Trust me, they are there and they are listening.


Evolution

As you evolve in your awareness and understanding of your journey, your Guides evolve too in how they are showing up for and guiding you. Evidence of their evolution has come in the fact that they recently started revealing names they can be called. I questioned this change in my morning meditation. They informed me that through the years, as this work has grown in demand and awareness, they have found humans fare much better when they can associate a name with a Guide. It is much easier for you to work with them more clearly if you have a name because it becomes personal. With a name you can actually have a relationship with something more defined.


So I am sharing this part below again from January of 2022, with edits and additional questions. This year, in 2023, I am happy to add that YOU CAN ASK FOR YOUR GUIDES NAME! I cannot guarantee you'll get one, but you can definitely ask.


What to Ask in a Reading

There are no boundaries or rules of what you can and cannot ask or seek as long as it is about you. We can review the past, we can explore current situations and we can even see what trajectories are lining up for you in the future.

Here are some suggestions and ideas that are either fun or helpful or both:

  • Is there a particular Angel that would be helpful for me to work with?

  • What is my Guide(s) name?

  • Am I connected with any planet or constellation or forgotten land or story?

  • What is the primary color of my aura?

  • Are there any Spirit Animals around me?

  • How do my Spirit Guides show up for me?

  • Is there a past-life that would be helpful or fun for me to know about?

  • Do I have a past life with________?

  • How is feeling stuck, directionless, restless, bored, sad, you-fill-in-the-blank, right now serving me?

  • What is something I can look forward to?

  • How can I learn to manifest?

  • What gifts did I bring in with me this lifetime?

  • What Chakra needs my attention?

  • How can I take better care of myself?

  • How can I learn to trust and find real happiness in life?

  • What did that dream mean?

  • Is my relationship with________ in my highest and best? How is it serving me?

  • Does my house/ pets/ loved-ones-in-spirit have any messages for me or need anything?

  • What does my body need?

  • Would it serve me to change my hair, have that face-lift, get braces, again, fill-in-the-blank.

Yes! You can ask ANYTHING! If you can't make a decision, be it big, small, insignificant, minor or major- you can ask your Guides. Nothing is too silly, ridiculous, scary, vain, stupid or wrong. If you are thinking it, then it matters. You are valid and your questions are too. There is no judgement whatsoever from me or your Spirit Guides. Not all questions have to be lofty and deep- sometimes we all just need helping seeing beyond our own blindspots.

Notice I didn't say "What's my Life's Purpose?". That's because your life, your journey, IS your purpose. If you are feeling called to do something more with your life or that you are missing something or haven't had a grand calling, then we can explore that specifically. I'll give you a head's up though, what you dreamed of as a child or in your earlier years is key to that understanding. We can explore what that looks like for you now? Is it too late? I'll tell you this too, it is never too late for any dream to come true and your Guides can share a lot of how, when, where and quite possibly even what steps to take. Everything means something and you are always being guided. You are never not on your path and you can never get off it or get lost. Above all, be curious! Be curious about your life- your habits and patterns and thoughts and dreams and ideas and nudgings and longings and wishes and musings.


You are a Divine Being and wonderfully connected to this great big Universe.

You are a Divine Child of this Divine Universe. You are an extension of the Divine.

It is your Divine Birthright to create, attract and enjoy all that you desire!


Let your Guides lead the way~

Pay Attention to the Signs~

This blog just gave me SO much peace. I am constantly struggling with the feeling of not doing what I should be doing in my career field. I mean YEARS of internal questioning. All back from a pull from childhood. The sentence "Your life IS your journey" I needed that. So simple and yet we want to complicate the question of our path/journey to the point of internal anxiety lol! I need to print that sentence out, laminate it, tape it to my forehead and carry another copy with me daily as a reminder to let go and enjoy my journey. 🤣
