Trusting the Inner Voice
One of the fundamental aspects of developing your spiritual or psychic awareness, and it is definitely a topic which presents itself in many forms of spiritual, psychic or healing work.
To truly develop your awareness to its maximum potential, we must learn to trust our inner voice, but this is often easier said than done. Modern life encourages us to be analytical and sceptical for fear of seeming foolish, but our instinct is what makes us part of the nature, and therefore the universe.
When I mediate, or work with the tarot for instance, I am constantly plagued by thoughts of "is this my imagination??" Self doubt is the only real hindrance to spiritual awakening.
I am trying to be much easier on myself, learning to feel within my stomach and soul, rather than 'think'; with my head. Let your imagination process the feelings within your spirit, and the answers you find, will probably be more insightful than you would have expected!!
It is much easier to be sceptical or dismissive than to trust in things we do not understand, for knowledge and wisdom take time to develop. You must open you heart and soul before you can access enlightenment, no 'proof' will ever be conclusive for you whilst you doubt or scorn.
No matter what stage you are at with your spiritual development, there are things you can do to help bond with you inner self and trust the messages and feelings that not only come from within, but come form spirits, angels or guides...Not all of us are lucky enough to see forms or hear voices...Spirit speaks to us through our heart and soul, and we must seek the messages and bring them into the light. Here are a few tips for helping you to trust your inner voice...Please let me know if you find them helpful!!
1. Keep a psychic or spiritual journal - record mediations, readings, thoughts, feelings and visions etc No matter how obscure of fanciful they seem. When you look back, you may be surprised at how many were telling you of something in everyday life or the future of which you should be aware. Also you may seem themes develop over time that can be lost in isolated incidences.
2. Keep an open mind, but also do not look for a spiritual cause for everything in life. Try to be balanced in interpreting you feelings, and be honest with yourself when you feel there is no message to be found.
3. Learn to feel your spirit and soul, take moment to feel your body when you are happy, angry, excited etc. Note them in your journal...this will develop you awareness of when Spirit may be trying to influence you.
4. Practice mediating on silence and stillness, although visualisation is an excellent tool, it can distract from you inner voice. By meditating on just your breath in and out, and achieving a state of relaxation, you can use the quiet time to speak to your heart and mind.

Why Choose the Tarot?
The Tarot cards are said to originate from 15th century Italy, and were used initially to play card games. The use as a tool of divination and spiritual development happened in France and England centuries later, by those with an interest in the occult.
There are two Arcana in a Tarot deck one Major and one Minor. The Major Arcana consists of 21 cards each depicting a picture and word, such as The Fool, The Sun or The Emperor.
The Minor Arcana consists of 52 cards, 13 in each of the fours suits which are Pentacles, Cups, Wands and Swords. These resemble a traditional deck of playing cars with an Ace, cards from 2 through to 9, then a Page, Knight, Queen and King card.
Every card across both Arcana has a unique meaning and the suits have within it their own meanings, often being linked to the elements – Wands/Fire, Pentacles/Earth, Swords/Air & Cups/Water.
There are many books and websites that will give you meaning for the Tarot and this may be useful for familiarising yourself with the cards. Personally, I do not worry about the meanings and use the cards to read psychically, using the colours, pictures & symbolism to do a personal reading for the seeker.
If you wish to choose a Tarot deck for yourself there are many beautiful ones on the market, and you should always choose a deck that you feel a connection with, and there are many themed decks. I deck does not have to be expensive to be effective, and you could always make your own!!!
There has been an association with Tarot and the Dark Arts, but this is mainly myth, the Tarot readings I give are with healing and love, intended to give guidance and wisdom for a fresh insight into your current situations. I would be sceptical of anyone who claimed to be able see the future with the Tarot!!
The Tarot is an inspirational and potentially very profound method of making a psychic connection with someone, if you would like a reading or more information, please feel free to email me.

What are Oracle Cards?
Oracle cards are decks of cards that can be used to offer wisdom and guidance to a seeker.
They come in decks and are used in a similar way to the tarot, in readings.
The decks are often themed, and offer a connection to spirit guides such as angels, fairies, gods and goddesses. They are a very positive form of divination, offering guidance on love, emotions, healing and spiritual growth. You can have in depth readings or pack a card-a-day for daily guidance.
If you choose a deck for yourself or have a reading, choose a deck which you feel a spiritual connection with…look for a theme that appeals to you.
I work with angels, fairies and animal guides, all of which are special to me, and I think offer a unique guidance and wisdom and connect with many of us on a deep and honest level.

What can the Fairies teach us?
Fairies are powerful and enigmatic spirits, who over the span of history have become confined to legend in the minds of many. This is does much to disguise the true power of the energies of Fairies, and we have lost touch with them as a society. This is a direct consequence of our diminishing connection with nature and mother earth, today we are so consumed with the material side of life, we have lost the ability to comprehend the many different energies with who we brush shoulders everyday.
Fairies are much like angels, in the sense that their main purpose in life is to guide humankind in a positive direction, and help us reconnect with our roots and true spiritual purpose in life. Fairies concentrate on the smaller aspects that fill our everyday life, and there are many different species of Fairies to assist with different tasks, emotions or trials we may face.
Fairies are similar to humans in many ways, but they have managed to establish an enviable balance between being spiritual beings who are so fundamentally connect to the earth and nature. They do think differently to us and can be tricksters by nature, who can bend and transform perspective and understanding, so it is wise to treat any Fairies you may ask for help with care, respect and caution.
To purchase a Fairy oracle card reading, please see my services page or email for details - and see what wisdom the Fairies can bring into your life.
