It was a fabulous weekend in the SE Nebraska area at Platte River State Park. In July, the organizers of Uniquest (from the Henry Foundation in Omaha) asked if I could come give a presentation on Medical Intuition and what it's like to be a medical intuitive.
I brought a dry erase board and showed the group of close to 40 people just how I go about sketching a person and looking at them medically given only their name, birth date, and city and state location. One brave young woman, whom I had never met, acted as a volunteer and consented to have me describe her inside and out in front of the group.
I told the Uniquest bunch about how my sources provide me with names, details, images, and often tongue in cheek or punny information as they give me the scoop on the clients I ask about. It seems as if the "panel of experts" (my psychic sources) seems to change with each person I meet and read for. One gal from the Uniquest group asked if this was so because the guides of the folks I read for provide information to my own guides. Sort of like "I'll have my people talk to your people. Stick around, we'll do lunch together." I suppose that's entirely possible.
Another woman asked about present life emotional and physical problems coming from a past life source. While I can't disagree that it's possible, in my own experience, too many well meaning metaphysically minded individuals are too quick to write off their current predicaments and dis-ease (mentally, emotionally, spiritually or physically) to a past life coming forward to this lifetime. It's too easy an answer, too pat in my book to automatically reach for that as an explanation. Could it be....sure. Do I find it often? Almost never.
Sunday, after finishing the last of the personal mini readings, we packed up and headed back for Iowa. The Omaha Mystic Fest is the last weekend of September and I'll be heading back Nebraska way for that. Looking forward to seeing some now familiar faces there.

Psychic Detectives Show "Open Road"
July 4th , 2007 the Court TV Psychic Detectives show entitled "Open Road" first aired here in the USA. The number of calls I received immediately after that increased dramatically and I had the wonderful opportunity to talk to more new clients in a single month than any other time I can remember.
The power of national television is amazing!
Looking back, I knew I was a little curious and a lot apprehensive about how the editing of the show would come out...but the Superfine Films folks did a fabulous job and I had no need to be scared. I would love to work with them again...it was a VERY fun week!
I want to deeply thank my Webmaster/Kung Foo Sensei for all his help with my site, with the photos on it and for lending his house to shoot part of the "Open Road" episode in. I also want to thank my family and JP for all their emotional support and positive comments. Everyone has been very patient with me as we all adjust to the new busier schedule.
Superfine Films would like to shoot me again for another episode of Court TVs Psychic Detectives show. Currently, I'm working on another missing person's case at the moment in South Central that has possibilities. The family and I all believe that he has already passed on and like the "Open Road" story, it's now become a matter of finding the missing man to help put everyone at rest.
I'll keep you posted as to the outcome.

Medical Intuitive detail and accuracy
I received an interesting e-mail from a client last week. She wrote:
"CAN YOU ACCURATELY SEE REAL HEALTH PROBLEMS OR DO YOU JUST ATTRIBUTE EVERYTHING TO "CHAKRA IMBALANCES" LIKE A LOT OF OTHER WELL MEANING BUT MISGUIDED PEOPLE IN THIS FIELD. SORRY FOR MY SKEPTISM. - M"
I surely understood her skepticism and sympathize. I myself have had both psychic and medical intuitive readings that were too vague to be helpful. Do I get accurate information from my psychic sources to see real health problems...the answer would be a resounding yes! However, because I am not a doctor, I must not make claims that I can diagnose or prescribe. However, details don't seem to be a problem for me.
Very much like Edgar Cayce's style, I need to take someone's full name, birthdate and location. After that, I grab my sketch pad and with the information above at the top of a fresh page, I do an outline sketch of the body. As I draw the outline, other information comes through. Do I pick up "chakra imbalances?" Well, sure, those are easy to spot, but not always particularly helpful. I want to provide as much detail as I can for my clients, so I automatically delve deeper.
As I'm doing the basic outline, often my sources are giving me specific phrases along with the detailed images. As much as I prefer to work with my clients according to their own preferences for healing (nutrition, acupuncture, chiropractic, massage therapy, ayurvedic medicine, oriental medicine, naturopathy, etc.) sometimes my psychic panel steers me directly to traditional Western medicine and surgery. Let me give you a specific example.
Last week I was looking at a gal with lower right quadrant pain in her abdomen. My sources were stern, very direct and said, (this is the quote) "The ileo-cecal valve area (junction of the large and small intestine) is hot, presents as swollen and the appendix contains what appears to be a bacterial signature in excess (meaning lots of pus or infection.)" They went on to inform my client that this situation could turn for the worse within 4 hours, that she needed to take immediate steps (no food or water until the doctor says okay...due to probable surgery, getting ahold of someone to drive her to the hospital pronto) and go directly to the emergency room.
Often the panel of spiritual experts I get information from will make side comments about the individual I am looking at. It's not uncommon for them to give me other psychic details such as "This woman must allow others to care for her! She has been preparing meals for far too many people and must allow others to feed her" (i.e., make food, and help her emotionally as much as she helps them.) The client in question had been hosting 30 people at her home the night before and was very tired and exhausted from all the preparation and clean up.
Sometimes my sources will draw lines on the body, indicating old scars or surgery sites or dense, thickened tissue from a previous difficulty.

When Mother Nature Prunes
This weekend, Mother Nature went on a rather extensive pruning spree where I live in Central Iowa. We received a rather hefty dose of ice followed by a foot of the heavy white stuff. For those of you who have wondered what sort of a place this psychic clairvoyant lady lives in, here is a quick picture of the gazebo in my back yard. Yesterday, I stood looking in this direction and the breaking of tree limbs sounded like gun shots. This morning I could stand outside and as the ice began cracking and melting off the trees, I could have sworn a thousand people at once were trying to pop ice cubes out of ice trays. Mom Nature saw fit to trim off the top of my red bud tree and take out a black walnut that I was wondering if I should cut down anyway. Guess she made the decision for me.

Lakota Sweat Lodges
I was honored to have my Medicine Man friend Lester come over to the house this past week to help me with a few things. Over the past year plus, we have come to find that our friendship and respect for each other has developed into quite the unique working relationship. My medical intuitive and psychic skills, combined with his understanding and deep connection to Spirit proves to be a winning combination in helping folks with their health problems and emotional issues.
I have been impressed time and time again with how strongly and quickly a traditional Lakota Medicine Man can get things done with her or her chanupa (sacred pipe) and Sweat Lodge. It pulls together a combination of factors that I don't see in healing methodologies elsewhere.
First, in order to seek help from a Medicine Man, you must opagi him or her. Opagi is a word that means literally "an offering of smoke." The action of approaching the Chanupa carrier (or Water Pourer) with a pouch or can of tobacco to ask for a lodge to be held to help with a difficulty you are having means that you have taken the first proactive step to make a change. By choosing to ask a Shaman for help means that you recognize that the Spiritual component is an extremely necessary one. For health related issues, the Western cultural equivalent would be approaching your minister to ask him or her to pray for your health, knowing they will also be acting as your doctor.
An Opagi, or offering of smoke, means you actually go out and purchase a can of organic tobacco and gift it to the Medicine Man when you ask for their assistance. Since most of us don't have this sort of thing just laying around the house, making the effort to go out and purchase it, set up a time to meet with the Shaman and take the time to tell him or her what has happened, what you need and why sets several things into motion. First, the Universe knows you are taking the those initial baby steps toward getting help. Second, by acquiring the tobacco and visiting the Water Pourer, you are honoring him or her in a time honored, sacred, traditional way. Third, by saying out loud what has brought you to this place of unbalance or dis-ease, you are sharing your story and taking the first steps at getting the problem out into the open so it can be dealt with.
When you opagi or ask for a healing lodge for yourself, the list of stuff you have to do to get ready for that lodge to take place is not small. It consists of: providing enough wood for a 3 hour bonfire's; acquiring anywhere from dozen to two dozen or more granite rocks that are the size of a melon; getting more tobacco as gifts for the Water Pourer, Fire Tender, and Drummer; making a star quilt or purchasing a quality blanket such as a Pendleton Wool blanket; bringing a large pot of fresh soup for everyone to share after lodge; making whatever number of tobacco ties and flags the Water Pourer requires of you for that lodge; being ready and willing to complete the process of saying thank you to the Spirits and the Shaman by doing a traditional Wopila ceremony at a future time designated by them.
That's a LOT of stuff to do....especially if you are sick or emotionally don't have it in balance for whatever reason. Isn't going to a Western physician and taking a pill a lot easier? Well...maybe that's true.
But the Lakota protocol steps up the healing process in many ways that traditional Western medicine does not. There are so many things to do go get ready for a healing lodge, that a single individual really is forced to ask for help from all kinds of friends and family, even strangers, to make sure the lodge happens. I've been known to call all my friends and ask them if they have melon sized rocks on their property or in their gardens that I can have...but then I have to explain WHY I need them. Thus I am forced to retell my own story. I must explain about the rocks and the sacred fire and about this non-traditional method of seeking health and balance. It requires that to share what's going on in my life with others. It reconnects me to them and them to me, and helps me move the old stuck "stuff" that caused me to get ill in the first place out of my body! It gives others an opportunity to listen, care and offer love and support in their own way.
In making prayer ties (the Lakota word is chanli apahcha or tobacco bundle) you are asked to say a prayer for what you want when tying each of dozens of little colored cloth pouches on a piece of sinew. Again, there is nothing equivalent in our own culture that physically creates a visual representation of prayer after prayer after prayer. The string of little cloth bundles is a tangible representation that we are proactively seeking help from the Creator(s) to get unstuck in life. The repetition solidfies within ourselves and within our connection to Spirit what it is that we want and are working with God/Goddess to create. Each tobacco tie then becomes another baby step in taking back one's own health and balance.
The gift of a blanket to the Water Pourer is not one FOR him or her...but one they in turn will give away as they see fit. You are purchasing an expensive item or putting your own energy into creating one from scratch. I advocate the creation of a blanket if you can do it....I can tell you that in making the effort, each and every stitch then becomes sacred and the thousands of stitches take you forward in thousands of tiny threads that interweave you, the blanket and the Spiritual universe.
Finally, when you ask those closest to you to attend the lodge, you are really asking those friends and family members to prayer for you! You are opening up to allow the energy and love of others to heal you. The conscious asking makes it so that you don't stay an island, alone and isolated struggling with your own healing. You proactively seek love and help and let other's in on that process. You're asking them to go through this hard journey with you. They consciously choose to enter and show they are willing to suffer the tremendous heat and steam of the sweat lodge to help you heal. Only really good people with true loving and caring energy are willing to make that sacrafice!
Finally, in the minutes before the lodge takes place, the Water Pourer gets together with you and the chanupa is filled. Each pinch of red willow bark that goes into the pipe is a clear request directly from you to Spirit about what you seek for your health, happiness and rebalancing. You consciously choose to involve the Creator(s) in your healing process.
Adding it all together, this kind of healing process is a far cry from the Western model where you see the doc, get the prescription filled, and go home, take the pill with a glass of water and lie in bed alone.
The speed at which I've seen this Lakota protocol work on an individual's health has been nothing short of astonishing! Looking over the long list of traditional details and how they force us to reconnect with ourselves, others and Spirit to heal...it's no wonder the Lakota have held onto this system for thousands of years.
It simply works!

Non-Standard Psychic Divination Techniques
Oreomancy: Tasty Fortunetelling
Sometime, just for fun, I step away from the traditional serious professional psychic and medical intuitive work and teach something that touches on metaphysical history as well as letting my students have fun. Several years ago, I was holding a workshop to a group of gals on traditional tea leaf reading. it was then that I also introduced them to other fun food divination tools. While I taught this manner of fortune telling or psychic divination tongue in cheek (or perhaps cookie in cheek) it was extremely gratifying to find that using Oreo cookies as a useful and accurate divinatory tool really worked.
Oreomancy is quite simple. Hand a cookie to the Questioner and have them hold it between their palms, focusing on the issue. After a moment or two, they twist the Oreo quickly clockwise to separate the top part of the cookie from the bottom. Beginning with the cookie in Questioner's left hand, the Oreomancer takes this chocolate wafer and reads first the past and or present. The cookie in the right hand of the Questioner pertains to the future.
Easy interpretation tip...just remember, the Oreo "Stuff in the Middle" is the stuff of life! To help you get started with the details, here are some classic Oreomancy interpretations after the twist has been completed:
All the Stuff is on the left cookie -- You're at a point in your life where you're leaving a great deal of stuff behind and starting with a clean slate (cookie) for your future.
All the Stuff is on the right cookie -- You have a lot of stuff to look forward to! There is a full future ahead, with lots of yummy abundance.
S shaped Stuff line -- Super Stuff! You have super things in your past or future (depending on left or right wafer.)
Ripped or jagged stuff line -- Take care of your stuff better! Your pushing and tearing things, going to fast in life and need to slow down and treat you and your stuff with more TLC.
Stuff dripping over the cookie's edge -- the stuff of life is spilling out all over. Time to declutter and get everything back where it belongs.
Smooshed and flattened Stuff -- You're forcing life too hard and trying to push to much to get things to fit life the way you want. Take is easy with your stuff! Be more gentle with how you treat the stuff of life!
Stuff flew out and landed on the ground -- Things are falling between the cracks and you aren't revering life or treating your stuff as precious. Warning, this can lead to you and your stuff of life getting seriously stepped on.
Stuff forms the profile of a face -- You have someone leaving or coming in to your life (depending on whether the face is on the past/present or the future wafer.)
I think you get the idea. Next time you enjoy a package or Oreo cookies, don't forget to try a little Oreomancy and savor the Stuff of Life!

Remembering Dreams and Dream Programming
I've been asked several times lately on how to remember dreams better and what dream programming is. To help everyone, I thought I would copy some of my class notes onto my blog so folks can work on remembering and guiding their dreams at home.
It's important to place your dream journal right next to your bed with the page you want to write on open and the pen ready. You need to be able to reach this and write in it during the night without having to get up or turn the light on.
To train yourself to remember your dreams better takes several nights (this can be more than a week) of telling yourself affirmations before you go to bed. These affirmations would be statements like: "I'm going to clearly remember my dreams. Remembering my dreams is important to me. I will awake at the end of the dream long enough to remember and write down my dream. I will fall back into a deep sleep easily afterwards."
In a nutshell, dream programming is purposefully posing a question to be answered in your dreams or asking to dream about a particular subject.
One hour before you go to sleep, relax your body physically. Take a hot bath, practice stretching or gentle yoga, get a massage, have sex...do anything that will satisfy your physical senses.
Next, climb into bed and review the day's events slowly in sequence. Do this as impersonally as possible...like a reporter watching your day unfold and describing it in an emotionally neutral tone. The sequence is important.
Determine what area you want to direct your subconscious attention to or what question you need the answer to while sleeping. Then, lights out. Keep the issue in your head as along as you can without expending too much energy. Other thoughts will intrude. Allow them to float gently aside. Keep your mind on your objective without hanging on to it too tightly or becoming rigid. You may want to mumble or say aloud what you want to dream about just before you drift off.
Programming brings about varied results. Sometimes the solution to your problems will appear the very night you request help. Other times it may take a few days and nights. Sometimes you will remember the whole dream and sometimes just the solution.
Practice, practice, practice! It takes a little while to get the hang of this, but the benefits are enormous!
