The skill of discernment in psychic work and mediumship One of the most challenging aspects of developing your psychic abilities is learning how to distinguish between (a) the messages that we should listen to and (b) the messages that we should ignore. In the metaphysical field, this skill is often referred to as “discernment.” The […]
The importance of cleansing your energy and the energy in your environment If you are an empath or Lightworker, it is very likely that you are sensitive to energy. It’s also highly likely that there will be times when you will need to: Cleanse your energy system (e.g., aura, chakras). Clear the space around you […]
Energy shielding for psychic protection Many people have heard about the technique of “surrounding yourself in white Light.” It’s a very common way to protect yourself from negative energy. Energy shielding is by far the simplest protective measure you can take. It only takes seconds to do, and it works! However, there is so much […]
What is prayer? Before I provide some Suggested Prayers, let’s begin by talking about what prayer is. Ultimately, prayer is simply a time when you are communicating something to God/Source/Spirit. It could be an expression of gratitude and thanks, or it could be a request for assistance, guidance, or protection. Contrary to some belief systems, […]
Psychic protection The topic of psychic protection is very important in metaphysical and healing work. I now believe that I chose to reincarnate during this important time in humanity’s evolution in order to help Lightworkers (i.e., those who chose to work with the light) feel safe doing this work. This has included teaching my students […]
NOTE: Although not as short as the last Moon Update, this one will again need to be a bit shorter than usual due to continued back-to-back deadlines. Hopefully, things will settle down by the time of the next Moon Update. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In the Pacific Time Zone, the Moon will be full at 10:47 a.m. on […]
In the Pacific Time Zone, the New Moon will occur at 8:38 p.m. on Sunday, October 27. This New Moon finds the Moon and Sun in conjunction (0°) at 5° of Scorpio. To further clarify how this New Moon will impact you on a personal level, locate 5° of Scorpio in your birth/natal chart. The […]
As with so many things, there is no “one right way” to integrate a “spiritual practice” into your life. There’s only “the right way” for you. Additionally, your “way” will likely change over time as you change. I know mine continues to evolve over time! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The goal of creating a spiritual practice The goal […]

A channeled message from the Council of 12 Greetings! We are Anne’s Council of 12, and we are a group of non-physical entities that work with Anne. We are here today to elaborate on a topic that we recently addressed when Anne was channeling in one of her Channeling classes. Because of the amazing efforts […]
Deceased loved ones who have crossed to the Light can and do visit us in our dreams. These types of dreams are often referred to as “visitation dreams,” and they can provide us with great comfort. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Why do deceased loved ones come to us in our dreams? It is actually easier for spiritual entities […]
This Full Moon finds the Sun in Libra in opposition (180°) to the Moon in Aries. To further clarify how this Full Moon in Aries will impact you on a personal level, locate 19° of Aries and 19° of Libra in your birth/natal chart. The issues associated with those two houses are going to be […]
Energy gridding My psychic development teacher taught me about energy gridding in 2002. I’ve personally used it ever since because it works! I have found energetic gridding to be one of the most effective methods for general protection and empowerment of a geographic location. It is such a simple technique that I teach it to […]
About Rev. Margaret McCormick Rev. Margaret McCormick first came to my classes in 2004. She was already very skilled in channeling, but she always channeled only when she was alone. Her guides told her that she needed to find a teacher who could help her learn how to channel in public. Margaret began attending my […]
Do angels really have wings? I am often asked this question. It makes sense that we would be curious about this given the many ways in which angels are depicted in artwork and in the media. Unfortunately, as is the case with so many topics in the field of metaphysics, the answer to this questions […]
When talking about reincarnation or past lives, different authors use different definitions for these and related terms. It can be confusing! I thought I should explain what I mean by these terms when I use them in my blog posts, eBooks, and audio recordings. In this post, I will define four terms: reincarnation, past lives, […]
This blog is a continuation of a discussion from two previous posts: Can I be a psychic, a medium, or a healer if I consume caffeine or if I use cigarettes, alcohol, or other drugs? Antidepressants (or anti-anxiety medications) and your psychic connection In this post, I will address a question that is perhaps even […]
I want to begin by acknowledging that channeling, perhaps more than most metaphysical topics, is often misunderstood. Some people don’t want anything to do with channeling because they believe it is “weird,” “scary,” or even “evil.” I was actually one of these people; I found the idea of channeling “scary” . . . until I […]
Muscle testing (also known as “applied kinesiology”) is now being used within many alternative medicine fields to diagnose and determine a course of treatment. It is believed that these techniques can provide feedback on the functional status of the body, as well as provide insights into mental and emotional states. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Why use muscle testing […]
General information about Reiki Reiki (which is usually pronounced “RAY-kee”) is a form of “energetic” healing. The word Reiki is a Japanese word meaning “spiritually guided life force energy.” This means that the source of healing energy is God/Source/Spirit, but it is ultimately God/Source/Spirit that uses the energy for the highest good of the recipient. […]
How to prepare for a mediumship session When consulting a medium (also known as a psychic medium), it is very common for clients to have one specific “longed for” deceased loved one that they want to connect with. I’m pleased to say that during most mediumship sessions, this specific deceased loved one will come through. […]
This blog post is a follow-up to the post Antidepressants (or anti-anxiety) medication and your psychic connection. When I published that post, I was asked by several people to address whether or not it is “OK” to: Consume caffeine Smoke cigarettes Use alcohol or other drugs This is a very complicated topic that is debated […]
My sweet Yoda I write this post today with great sadness in my heart because I had to say a final goodbye to my sweet cat Yoda. Yoda came into my life over 16 years ago when I mentioned to a vet my readiness to adopt a cat. He said they had one that would […]
Channeling and psychic communication are similar in that messages are being received from non-physical beings that are not part of our current dimension. But there are important distinctions. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What is psychic or mediumship communication? During psychic communication, the entity that is communicating with the psychic or medium is “outside” the person. For example, if […]
I find it an amazing gift to assist souls to cross to the light. When someone dies, their soul may choose to not cross to the light, usually because they are concerned about loved ones who will be left behind. Their guides continue to encourage them to cross to the light; however, after a period […]
I am often asked if taking prescription medications to treat depression (or anxiety) would interfere with psychic work or mediumship. It is an understandable question given the large number of people taking prescription medications. Unfortunately, there are many (often divergent) opinions about this topic. There are those in the metaphysical field who believe that taking […]
In response to the post Psychic meaning of number sequences (e.g., 111, 222, 333), several of my students asked me to elaborate on the meaning of the special number sequence 11:11. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Have you been seeing 11:11 (or 111 or 1111)? The sequence 11:11 has received more attention than most number sequences partly due to […]
Have you ever wondered whether there is a psychic meaning when you see certain numbers or number sequences? The short answer: ABSOLUTELY! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Which number sequences are important? Many psychics, mediums, and healers often report seeing number sequences. Not all of them are significant. But as you learn more about them, you’ll begin to know […]
I am often asked how mediums are different than psychics. I wish I could say that there is one “generally agreed to answer” to this question. To a large extent, I have found that the answer often depends on the area in which you are located (e.g., area within the United States, which country). There […]
There is a common belief that Ouija boards are particularly prone to bringing through dark or evil energies. For this reason, people are reluctant to use them. Although I know there are conflicting beliefs about this within the metaphysical community, I believe that Ouija boards are no more dangerous than any other type of psychic […]
