Psychic Self-Defense: Why Protecting Your Energy and Space is Essential
In today’s chaotic world, protecting your energy is just as important as caring for your physical well-being. Psychic self-defense is a practice used to safeguard your emotional and spiritual health from negative influences, energies, and psychic attacks. But how do you know when you need it? Some signs include feeling constantly drained, overwhelmed, or anxious for no apparent reason. If you’re an empath, you may be particularly vulnerable, absorbing the emotions and negative energy of those around you. Psychic self-defense is crucial for shielding yourself from these harmful forces that can disrupt your balance and well-being. Empaths, in particular, often feel the need for psychic self-defense because of their heightened sensitivity to energy. You may walk into a room and suddenly feel exhausted or uneasy without understanding why. This is often due to the emotional or energetic "baggage" from others that you're unconsciously absorbing. Over time, this can lead to emotional burnout, anxiety, and even physical symptoms like headaches and fatigue. Psychic self-defense allows you to create boundaries, protecting your own energy field from being invaded or depleted by outside influences. Protecting yourself energetically is vital to maintaining your mental, emotional, and spiritual health. When you don’t take steps to guard your energy, you become susceptible to negative energies that can cling to you, affecting your mood, relationships, and ability to make clear decisions. It’s not just about shielding yourself from others; it’s also about keeping your own energy intact. By practicing psychic self-defense, you create a protective layer around your aura, helping you stay grounded, centered, and clear-headed. In addition to protecting your personal energy, it's equally important to safeguard your home. Your home is your sanctuary, the place where you should feel safe and at peace. However, just like you can pick up negative energy from others, your living space can also absorb it. Whether it's residual energy from arguments, stress, or even visitors who carry heavy emotional burdens, your home can become energetically cluttered. Cleansing and protecting your home regularly can prevent this buildup of negative energy, keeping your environment peaceful and harmonious. There are several methods you can use to cleanse and protect yourself energetically. One simple yet powerful technique is visualization. Imagine yourself surrounded by a protective white light that shields you from any negative or harmful energy. You can also carry protective crystals like black tourmaline or obsidian to create a barrier between your energy and external forces. Smudging with sage or palo santo is another effective way to cleanse your aura, helping you release any negative energy you’ve picked up throughout the day. Cleansing and protecting your home can be done using a variety of methods as well. Smudging is excellent for clearing out stagnant or negative energy, especially after an argument or stressful event. Salt is another powerful tool—sprinkling salt around the perimeter of your home can create an energetic barrier that repels negativity. You can also place protective crystals in the corners of your home to absorb and neutralize unwanted energies. Regularly cleansing your space not only makes it feel lighter but also helps you maintain a balanced and peaceful environment. If you're ready to dive deeper into how to protect your energy and home, join me for "Shield your Spirit: Mastering Psychic Self-Defense" , a free microclass on Tuesday, Sept. 17 at 4 PM ET. We'll explore practical techniques for psychic self-defense and cleansing your space so you can maintain a harmonious and empowered life. RSVP now and take the first step in safeguarding your energy!
How Tarot Can Guide You to Clarity (Not Predict Your Future!)
Tarot reading is often misunderstood as fortune-telling, but it’s so much more than predicting future events. Intuitive counseling, especially when using Tarot, is about uncovering the deeper layers of our psyche and providing meaningful insights into life’s complexities. Rather than attempting to foresee an unchangeable future, I approach Tarot as a tool for self-discovery and reflection. My practice is based on guiding clients toward understanding their current circumstances, emotional patterns, and potential outcomes based on their present energies. Tarot becomes a mirror to help you see what is often hidden within yourself. What makes intuitive counseling different from fortune-telling is that it focuses on empowerment rather than fate. When I sit with a client for a Tarot session, the goal is not to tell them what’s going to happen next but to help them tap into their own intuition and wisdom. The cards, combined with my intuitive insights, provide guidance on the choices they can make to navigate life’s challenges. Tarot reading in this context is about helping you take control of your journey, understanding that the future is shaped by the decisions you make today. In my work, I integrate Carl Jung’s concept of the collective unconscious into Tarot readings. Jung believed that the collective unconscious is a part of the mind that contains shared memories, symbols, and experiences that transcend individual cultures and generations. When I interpret Tarot cards, I tap into these universal symbols that speak to our shared human experiences. The archetypes in Tarot, like the Fool, the Empress, and the Tower, align with these deep-rooted symbols, giving us insight into both personal and collective aspects of our lives. This approach allows the reading to connect deeply with your subconscious, bringing hidden thoughts, feelings, and desires to the surface. I’ve seen Tarot help clients gain clarity in many areas of their lives. For example, one client came to me feeling stuck in their career, unsure whether to take a leap of faith and start a business or stay in their current job. Through Tarot and intuitive counseling, we uncovered their fear of failure and a need for security—insights they hadn’t fully acknowledged. The reading didn’t tell them which path to take, but it did provide clarity on what was holding them back, allowing them to make an empowered decision to move forward. Tarot, in this way, becomes a guide to self-awareness and confidence. Ultimately, intuitive counseling with Tarot is a collaborative process between the reader and the client. It’s about exploring possibilities, understanding the energies at play, and discovering how to make more conscious, aligned decisions. The cards open a window to your inner world, where deeper truths can be revealed and healing can begin. By focusing on personal growth and emotional clarity, Tarot readings can illuminate your path forward, not as a set fate, but as a journey you have the power to shape. Ready to gain clarity and take control of your journey? Book a Tarot reading with me today and discover how intuitive counseling can guide you through life’s challenges. Together, we’ll explore the energies at play and uncover the insights you need to make empowered decisions. Tap into your inner wisdom—schedule your session now!

My Spiritual Journey: 30 Years of Guiding and Healing
From an early age, I knew my path in life would be anything but ordinary. Growing up, I was often visited by spirits, glimpsed into the future through my dreams, and found myself drawn to the mysterious and mystical. These early experiences were not just moments of curiosity but the very foundation of the journey that has led me to where I am today—dedicated to helping others find their own paths through the realms of the spiritual and the unseen. A Childhood Filled with Wonder As a child, I often felt different from those around me. I could sense energies others couldn’t, and I had vivid dreams that seemed to foretell the future. One of my earliest memories is seeing spirits in my room at night, their presence a gentle yet powerful reminder that the world was much more than what met the eye. I remember the day I picked up an ordinary deck of playing cards and felt an undeniable pull to read them—not as a game, but as a tool for divination. It was as if the cards were speaking to me, revealing the hidden truths of the universe. My friends would often come to me for guidance, and with each reading, I realized that my gift was something sacred, something I was meant to share. Shamanic Training and Vision Quest As I grew older, my spiritual experiences led me to seek out deeper knowledge and understanding. I embarked on a vision quest, a profound journey of self-discovery that brought me closer to the earth and the spirits that dwell within it. Through this quest, I connected with the ancient wisdom of my ancestors and learned the sacred practices of Shamanism. These teachings became a cornerstone of my spiritual practice, allowing me to channel healing energy and guide others through their own journeys of transformation. Reiki Mastery and Energy Healing My path then led me to the study of Reiki, a form of energy healing that resonated deeply with my soul. I trained extensively, dedicating myself to mastering this ancient art. Over time, I achieved the status of Reiki Master, enabling me to heal not just the physical body but also the emotional and spiritual aspects of those who sought my help. The more I practiced, the more I realized that this was my calling—to bring light and healing to those in need. Pagan High Priesthood and Magickal Studies In my quest for knowledge, I was also drawn to the rich traditions of Paganism. I immersed myself in the study of the elements, the cycles of nature, and the divine energies that flow through all living things. Through years of dedication and practice, I became a 5th Degree Pagan High Priest, a title that reflects my commitment to serving the spiritual community. My journey didn’t stop there. I delved into the mysteries of Ceremonial Magick, studying the teachings of esteemed organizations such as the Golden Dawn and the Ordo Templi Orientis (OTO). These teachings deepened my understanding of the occult and empowered me to harness the forces of the universe in ways that continue to inspire and guide my work today. ( I am currently the High Priest of a small Roanoke coven called the Star Mountain Grove and it's Outer Court of friends. ) A Commitment to Helping Others For over 30 years, I have walked this path with a singular purpose: to help others unlock their inner magic and live their most authentic lives. Whether through spiritual counseling, Tarot readings, Reiki healing, or Shamanic energy work, my mission has always been to empower those who seek my guidance. I am deeply committed to creating a safe and sacred space where individuals can explore their spiritual gifts, heal from past traumas, and embrace their true selves. As I reintroduce my services this September, I do so with a renewed passion and a deepened sense of purpose. My journey has been long and winding, filled with challenges and revelations, but every step has brought me closer to my true calling. I am honored to share this journey with you and to continue offering the wisdom and healing that has been gifted to me. Thank you for being a part of this incredible journey. Together, we will continue to explore the mysteries of the universe, embrace our shadows, and shine our light brightly. In love and light, Blessed be, Bernard

Staying Positive Through Tough Times: Your Guide to Resilience and Well-Being
When life throws us curveballs and challenges seem overwhelming, maintaining a positive mindset can feel like an uphill battle. However, cultivating positivity is not just a feel-good exercise—it’s a vital tool for resilience and personal growth. Here are some uplifting tips to help you navigate tough times with a hopeful and empowered outlook. 1. Practice Gratitude In the midst of adversity, focusing on what you have rather than what you lack can be transformative. Even when things seem bleak, there’s always something to be grateful for—whether it's a supportive friend, a small achievement, or a moment of peace. Embracing gratitude shifts your perspective, highlighting the positives in your life and helping to balance out the negatives. 2. Stay Present Worrying about the future or dwelling on the past can amplify stress and anxiety. Ground yourself in the present moment with mindfulness techniques and deep breathing exercises. By focusing on the here and now, you can reduce overwhelming feelings and make each day more manageable. Mindfulness helps anchor your thoughts, providing clarity and calm amidst chaos. 3. Connect with Others Reaching out to friends, family, or a support group can provide comfort and a fresh perspective. Sharing your feelings and experiences with others can lighten your emotional load and remind you that you’re not alone. Building and nurturing connections with those who care about you creates a support network that can lift you up during tough times. 4. Limit Negative Input In today’s digital age, we’re constantly bombarded with negative news and toxic environments. Take control by reducing your exposure to these stressors. Surround yourself with positivity, whether through uplifting music, inspiring books, or positive social interactions. Curate your environment to support your well-being and foster a more optimistic outlook. 5. Engage in Self-Care Taking care of your physical and mental health is crucial for maintaining a positive mindset. Regular exercise, a balanced diet, and adequate sleep are foundational to improving your mood and energy levels. Self-care isn’t just about pampering yourself—it’s about nurturing your overall health to build resilience and strength. 6. Focus on Solutions Instead of fixating on problems, redirect your energy towards finding solutions. Break down challenges into manageable steps and tackle them one at a time. This proactive approach can make difficulties feel less daunting and empower you to take control of your circumstances, fostering a sense of accomplishment and progress. 7. Affirmations and Visualization Positive affirmations and visualization techniques are powerful tools for reinforcing a hopeful outlook. Use affirmations to challenge negative thoughts and build confidence. Visualize yourself overcoming obstacles and achieving your goals. This mental imagery can inspire motivation and help manifest positive changes in your life. 8. Accept and Let Go Recognize what you can’t control and focus on what you can. Letting go of things beyond your control can significantly reduce frustration and anxiety. By accepting the things you cannot change, you free yourself from unnecessary stress and open up space for growth and new opportunities. 9. Cultivate Humor Laughter truly is a powerful medicine. Finding humor in challenging situations can lighten your mood and provide a much-needed break from stress. Embrace moments of joy and let laughter be a source of relief and connection. Humor helps you approach difficulties with a lighter heart and a more positive perspective. 10. Keep a Journal Journaling is a valuable practice for processing emotions and reflecting on your journey. Writing down your thoughts and feelings can offer clarity and insight into your experiences. It also allows you to track your progress and celebrate your achievements, no matter how small they may seem. Staying positive through tough times doesn’t mean ignoring difficulties; it’s about approaching them with a mindset that supports your well-being and growth. By incorporating these practices into your life, you’ll build resilience, foster a positive outlook, and navigate challenges with grace and strength. Remember, every step you take towards positivity is a step towards a more fulfilling and empowered life.

Tonight’s Rare Super Blue Moon: Why You’ll Be Howling with Excitement! 🌕✨
Hold onto your hats, stargazers, because tonight’s sky is serving up a celestial treat that’s rarer than finding a unicorn sipping a latte at your local coffee shop! We’re talking about a Rare Super Blue Moon , and it’s got all the cosmic flair you could wish for. So, What’s the Big Deal? First off, let’s break down why this moon is so extra. A Supermoon happens when the Moon is closer to Earth in its orbit. Tonight, it's lounging around 226,000 miles away, which in moon terms, is practically sitting in our backyard! This means the Moon will appear up to 14% larger and a dazzling 30% brighter than usual. So if you've ever wished for a Moon selfie, tonight’s the night! But wait, there’s more! This isn’t just any Supermoon; it’s a Blue Moon . Now, before you start imagining a blueberry-hued Moon (though that would be cool), a Blue Moon is actually the second full moon in a calendar month or, as in tonight’s case, the third full moon in a season that has four full moons. Yes, we’re dealing with a seasonal Blue Moon , not the calendar kind. Still rare, still magical! A Little Bit of Moon Magic 🌟 Astrologically speaking, the Moon’s got its own vibe going on tonight. It’s in Aquarius until 6:51 PM, making us all feel a little more quirky and open to new ideas—perfect for brainstorming under the stars. After that, the Moon slips into dreamy Pisces, bringing a wave of intuition and creativity. Feeling artsy? Grab a notebook or some paints; the cosmos are practically begging you to get those creative juices flowing. Now, there's a void-of-course period from 2:25 PM to 6:51 PM. This is when the Moon is in transition between signs, making it a good time to chill out, meditate, or just go with the flow. It’s not the best time for starting new projects, but perfect for finishing up or reflecting on what you’ve already got in the works. The Waxing Gibbous Phase: What It Means for You 🌔 Let’s not forget, the Moon is in its Waxing Gibbous phase, which is all about building momentum. The seeds you planted during the New Moon are starting to sprout, and now’s the time to keep the energy going. Whether it's a new habit, a creative project, or some life changes, tonight’s moonlight is shining a spotlight on your progress. Keep going—you're on the right track! Final Thoughts: Don’t Miss It! 🌙 So grab a blanket, find a cozy spot under the stars, and soak in the brilliance of tonight’s Rare Super Blue Moon. Whether you’re moon-gazing, meditating, or just marveling at the beauty of the universe, tonight's sky is sure to inspire. And who knows, maybe you’ll even catch a glimpse of that latte-sipping unicorn while you’re at it. 🌌 Happy moon watching! Super Blue Moon Spell: Harnessing Cosmic Power Tonight’s Super Blue Moon offers an extraordinary opportunity to amplify your intentions and manifest your desires. With the Moon’s extra brightness and the potent energy of both Aquarius and Pisces, it’s the perfect time to perform a spell that focuses on transformation and creative manifestation. Here’s a simple yet powerful spell you can do to tap into this celestial magic. What You’ll Need: A Blue Candle : Symbolizes the Blue Moon and enhances your intention-setting. A Pen and Paper : To write down your goals and desires. A Clear Quartz Crystal : Amplifies your intentions and helps with manifestation. A Small Bowl of Water : Represents the fluidity and creativity of the Moon in Pisces. A Comfortable Space : Where you can sit undisturbed and connect with the Moon’s energy. Steps to Perform the Spell: Prepare Your Space : Find a quiet, comfortable spot where you can sit and focus without interruptions. Arrange your candle, crystal, and bowl of water on a small table or altar. Light the Blue Candle : As you light the candle, visualize the Moon’s bright light filling the space around you. Feel the energy of the Super Blue Moon enveloping you, bringing clarity and power to your intentions. Focus on Your Intentions : Take a few moments to calm your mind and center yourself. Hold the clear quartz crystal in your hands and close your eyes. Think about what you want to manifest or transform in your life. It could be a new goal, a creative project, or personal growth. Write Down Your Desires : Open your eyes and take the pen and paper. Write down your intentions clearly and positively, as if they are already happening. For example, instead of writing "I want to be successful," write "I am thriving in my new career." Infuse the Water with Your Intentions : Hold the bowl of water and visualize your written intentions flowing into it. Imagine the water absorbing the energy of your desires, as the Moon’s light reflects off the surface. Speak Your Intentions Aloud : Hold the clear quartz crystal and say your intentions out loud. Speak with conviction and feel the power of your words resonating with the Moon’s energy. Meditate and Visualize : Spend a few minutes in meditation, visualizing your intentions coming to fruition. Imagine yourself living your desires and experiencing the joy and fulfillment they bring. Close the Spell : When you feel complete, thank the Moon for its powerful energy and guidance. Extinguish the candle, and if you like, place the crystal near your written intentions as a reminder of the spell. Keep the Paper and Crystal : Keep your written intentions and the crystal in a special place where you can see them often. This helps keep your desires focused and reinforces your manifestation work. Bonus Tip: As you perform the spell, let the Moon’s energy inspire creativity. Feel free to add any personal touches that resonate with you—perhaps a favorite incense, soothing music, or even a moon-themed charm. The more personalized your spell, the more powerful it will be! Enjoy the magic of tonight’s Super Blue Moon, and may your intentions shine as brightly as the lunar light! 🌟🌙
Tapping into Positive Energy: Unlocking the Power Within
The Power of Positive Energy In the hustle and bustle of daily life, it’s easy to get swept up in negativity, stress, and doubt. Yet, within each of us lies an incredible force that can transform our lives—positive energy. But how does one tap into this energy? And why does it have such a profound impact on our well-being and spiritual growth? Let’s explore the science, the benefits, and some practical ways to harness this power in your spiritual practice. The Science Behind Positive Energy: Neuroplasticity at Work At the heart of our ability to harness positive energy is the concept of neuroplasticity. This is the brain’s remarkable ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections throughout life. When we engage in positive thinking and affirmations, we’re essentially training our brain to develop new, healthier thought patterns. Imagine your brain as a garden. Negative thoughts are like weeds that can overrun the space if left unchecked. Positive affirmations and thoughts are the seeds of beautiful flowers. The more you focus on nurturing those flowers, the more they flourish, eventually crowding out the weeds. Over time, this rewiring of your brain helps you approach life’s challenges with resilience, optimism, and a sense of calm. The Benefits of Tapping into Positive Energy Improved Mental Health: Regularly focusing on positive thoughts can reduce anxiety, depression, and stress, leading to a more balanced and peaceful mind. Enhanced Physical Health: Positive energy can lower blood pressure, improve immune function, and even increase lifespan. When your mind is in a positive state, your body follows suit. Better Relationships: When you’re radiating positive energy, you attract similar energy from others. This leads to healthier, more fulfilling relationships. Spiritual Growth: Positive energy aligns you with your higher self, making it easier to connect with your spiritual path and purpose. Incorporating Positive Energy into Your Spiritual Practice Harnessing positive energy isn’t just a mental exercise; it’s a powerful tool in your spiritual journey. Here are some ways to integrate it into your practice: Affirmations: Start each day with affirmations that resonate with your spiritual goals. For example, “I am a being of light, connected to the infinite energy of the universe.” Visualization: During meditation, visualize yourself surrounded by a warm, glowing light that fills you with positive energy. Imagine this light expanding and influencing every aspect of your life. Gratitude Rituals: Incorporate gratitude into your daily routine by listing things you’re thankful for. This practice shifts your focus from what’s lacking to what’s abundant in your life. Energy Cleansing: Use tools like sage, crystals, or sound baths to cleanse your space and aura, removing negative energy and inviting in positivity. Exercises and Spells for Harnessing Positive Energy 1. The Mirror Exercise: Stand in front of a mirror and look into your eyes. Say out loud, “I am filled with positive energy. I attract love, abundance, and joy into my life.” Repeat this three times with conviction, feeling the energy shift within you. 2. The Light Spell: Light a white candle, symbolizing purity and positive energy. As the candle burns, visualize its light growing and filling the room, then expanding to cover your entire life. Say, “With this light, I banish all negativity and welcome positivity, love, and peace into my life.” 3. The Gratitude Jar: Keep a jar where you write down something positive that happened each day. At the end of the month, read through the notes to remind yourself of all the good in your life.
