Ghost Stories Continued…

Ready for a few more ghostly tales?

As many of you know by now, energies find their way to me no matter where I am or what I’m doing. When I first stepped into my gifts, fully embracing them and learning how I could help others with my abilities, I would have ghosts upon ghosts, energies stuck on this earthly plane, coming in and out of my house, needing my attention at all hours of the day. Because I still had to operate as a functioning human, I knew I needed boundaries, I knew I couldn’t live with such constant disruptions. It wasn’t helping anyone if I was overwhelmed every second of the day, you know? I have now created ‘office hours’ so to speak, where there are certain times and places that energies can interact with me.

It’s all a reminder that you have the power and you CAN absolutely tell a spirit to leave if they are disrespecting you in any way.

Sometimes, they still find their way through to me, anyway. Often, I would sit down on the couch and notice as a ghost energy would sit down next to me. One time I was watching a cooking show and then all of the sudden I’m smelling food that was not even in my house. It was quite interesting! The energy beside me was helping me experience new recipes that they themselves had likely once loved.

Another time, a man would peek around the corner at me as I turned on the TV, just watching, wanting my attention. He would disappear every time I would move from my seat so I left him there until one day he didn’t return again.

Another time I was upstairs getting ready and when I came down the stairs to make lunches for my girls, there was a friendly ghost woman already in my kitchen, ready to help out with the task. I was curious as to why she was so eager to help but she just assured me that assisting with these lunches would bring her great satisfaction.

Another morning, not long after, I was doing my hair in the bathroom after my shower and a woman appeared behind me in the mirror. While that could startle anyone, this woman, who boasted a lovely accent from the Bronx, was quite pleasant and began assisting me with my hair. I had to find a way to tell her I was just fine doing it myself…

It can be hard to know how to react when you encounter ghost energy. Now they hardly ever enter my home because I don’t allow it. There came a time when the disruptions became too much. This was after one of my Halloween parties where they would cause quite the ruckus to rile people up. Think loud noises, crashes, lights flickering, things moving etc. - all things I was used to, but some of my friends were definitely not. My friends from my neighbourhood and friends from my inner circle would come to enjoy the occasion with me and some would leave scared. Others were not so scared, knowing what was really going on – but either way I knew I had to implement some boundaries for my own peace of mind. And I really never wanted anyone to feel fearful in my home.

It took some time to get these boundaries firmly in place with spirit. I still had encounters from time to time.

There was one experience that I think about often as it was the first time my family got a glimpse inside what it’s like to be me on the daily. We were watching a movie as a family, with the girls gathered with us along with our dog, Jessie. Now Jessie usually did this thing where she sits patiently with her paw in the air, ready for a treat. As we watched the movie, Jessie ran over to the other side of the room and proceeded to sit for her treat. We all looked over and I could clearly see the ghost standing there right next to our dog. Jessie looked up at the ghost, waiting, and my whole family looked over and witnessed this, knowing there was an energy there, interacting with her. While Jessie soon realized and ran back, avoiding that corner of the room from that day forward, it was the first time my family got to see this in real time, like a glimpse into my world.

There have been many other instances of ghost energy interacting with me but these are the most notable ones as I write to you today. A few takeaways from my experiences are to not let fear get the better of you (these were simply people who once lived and had families etc.), to create boundaries to protect your own peace of mind, and to be intentional on what kinds of energies you do want to interact with in the moments that you do. You can say no thank you to anything negative.

If you have any questions about these kinds of experiences, send me a message or book a session with me. If you have any of your own ghostly tales to share, I’d love to hear them in the comments!

Happy October!

Let Me Tell You a Ghost Story...

I’m starting off my Ghost Stories series by sharing a story I often tell my psychic mentorship clients since there are some key lessons present in this experience. It’s so interesting, isn’t it? How every ghostly experience arrives to teach us more about ourselves and the world we live in?

Let’s dive in!

This story begins on a property I was doing a clearing and protection for. While home clearings can be done remotely in a process where I connect into the energy of the space, in this instance I was drawn to the physical property. Whenever I do anything along these lines, I ensure I am grounded, connected and protected as you just never know what you’ll encounter on a property, I had done all of this before arriving yet the moment I stepped foot on the land–I just felt weird.

It didn’t take me long to realize that there was a young girl trapped there on the property. As I learned her story, I soon uncovered that her family’s belief systems were keeping her there. She had lived over two centuries ago as part of a pioneer group coming to this land, and was a very gifted seer. As you can imagine, living in the time period she did, these kinds of gifts were not openly embraced. In fact, they were dreaded and feared and this poor girl was told she was the work of the devil. Ugh. There I was, taking in this girl’s story, learning that her parents tried to ‘wash her gifts’ out of her. They tried to ‘kill the demon in her’ by making her drink poison, leaving her behind, alone on the land, which all ultimately ended in her demise. Her fear and confusion in her ghost form was overwhelming and I didn’t doubt that the people currently inhabiting this property felt her emotions as well. The poor thing was just so confused, thinking the worst of herself, utterly terrified.

And I was confused, due to the fact that I had every protection in place and this girl still found her way through to me and my energy. When I left the property, she had entered my energy. I was so sick. I won’t get into all the details of the physical affect she had on me, but it wasn’t pretty. Stepping out of the shower, trying to regain my composure, I saw her there, staring back at me through the steamy mirrored glass, gazing right at me with her wide, pleading eyes.

That look has stayed with me long after that moment. As unpleasant of an experience as it was to be energetically attached to this girl, I realized that she needed a safe host to help her leave the land she was stuck on. She needed me, someone she could trust to finally give her the help she so longed for. As I helped her cross over to finally find peace and understanding, I knew I had protected every inch of my body–except my feet when I walked onto that property that day. That is how she attached to me.

This now comes up as a lesson for me and my students. There can be no gaps left exposed when you’re doing this kind of work or when you’re in an area where you feel you need to protect yourself energetically.  

While I’m so happy I was able to help this poor sweet girl, freeing her from such sadness and confusion, I am also mindful of my body, doing all I can to never fall ill from energy attachments if it can be avoided.

This story is steeped in tragedy for a girl that was horribly abused, dying before her time, in an era that did not understand her beautiful gifts. But she’s now at peace, the land is free of her pain and I learned a lesson I can pass down to all my sensitives here.

Ghosts can be alluring and exciting but they were once people and deserve the respect, compassion and understanding as you would give anyone else. There is always so much more to their story than we ever first imagine.

Stay tuned for my next instalment in my Ghost Stories series and as always, I’d love to hear your own experiences! Leave them in the comments below.

Happy October,

What Does it Truly Mean to be Self-Aware?

As humans, we love to label things. We feel comfort when things are placed in categories, in groups, in ways that we can understand. When it comes to being ‘self-aware’, there are guidelines in place that often determine whether we are or we aren’t. While I recognize that many people hold onto these categories to make sense of their world, I’m here to remind you and let you know that you truly don’t need to subscribe to them. You don’t need to put yourself in any box. You can be self-aware without placing yourself in a stereotypical category. 

Many people put pressure on themselves to be the most awake version of themselves, thinking they must do x, y and z for it to be so. If they are going to be self-aware, then they must meditate a certain way, say things a certain way, and only associate with groups that are also doing things this way. While I’m all for practices that help you feel connected and balanced, like meditation and journaling, and a supportive community of like-minded others, you also don’t need to keep yourself small and place limitations on your life to create this self-awareness. Do you see the irony?

You’re kind of missing the point when this is how you go about it - thinking you need to fit in when really you need to just be you. Being self-aware is about living your most authentic genuine life, even if that moves you right outside of any category or box. It’s about being aware of what you love to do. Maybe that’s sitting in a field watching the dandelions blow in the breeze. Maybe it’s singing loudly in your kitchen or dancing with your full body and soul.

Self-awareness is not blindly subscribing to spiritual practices because you think that’s what you should be doing.

It’s finding what brings light into your life, what makes you smile, what fills your heart and then doing more of that. It’s being aware of what you love. It’s noticing what feelings these things evoke. That, that right there is self-awareness.

Take a moment and think of your own idea of self-awareness. Have you placed yourself too far into one category or are you allowing yourself to be your most free, eccentric self? Because there is absolute beauty in letting yourself be exactly who you are – as messy and quirky and weird as that may be. Embrace it!

It’s time to let yourself be so happy in your own energy, without the labels, without the need to follow the spiritual mainstream. Living your passions will always lead you where you need to go.

If you want to further explore what your passions may be and create an aligned life around them, book a reading or session with me for tailored guidance to help you in your journey.

Love, Light & Angelic Blessings,

Is Spiritual Mentorship Right for You?

As many of you know, I am a Spiritual Psychic Medium. I use my gifts to provide insight, clarity, messages and the guidance you need to hear in that moment, for your greatest and highest good, for the place you’re at on your path. Most of you have likely had a reading from me, using the knowledge you received to further create a life that fits you best, finding peace and closure from passed over loved ones.

I offer these readings to clients – but did you know I am a spiritual teacher and mentor as well? While readings provide you with the guidance you’re needing that day, spiritual mentorship goes beyond that, helping you integrate tools and apply new practices to your life so you can be as empowered as possible in your day-to-day. Spiritual mentorship focuses in on your specific gifts and habits and guides you towards developing them in healthy ways.

So how do you know if spiritual mentorship is right for you? If readings feel like a good fit for you, that is more than okay. I am happy to provide this kind of guidance in our session together. But if you are feeling the inner nudge to go deeper, to uncover more, to truly tap into who are meant to become, learning all about your gifts and how you interpret spirit and energy – than mentorship is calling you my friend! And I can’t wait to begin with you.

In a spiritual mentorship program with me, you’ll learn about the most relevant topics, concepts that meet you where you’re at, like shielding, past lives, chakras and energy. You’ll practice using tools, creating your own arsenal of resources to help you become completely in-tune with spirit and the spiritual world around you.

There are a few ways you can work with me in a spiritual mentorship capacity. The first one is through my course, Light Wisdom which is a self-study, go at your own pace program. This is a great one for those looking to work when they can, are curious about prevalent topics and enjoy learning in this way. The next options are: Evolve, which is a set of one-on-one sessions, and Align, a 12 week program, and both offer direct access to me as your coach, helping you work through specific patterns coming up for you, helping you create empowered habits and release what isn’t serving you. The next way is my most in-depth mentorship container and that is Reawaken, my 6 month one-on-one program that gives you a complete deep-dive into spiritual learning and development. You’ll come out of this one completely connected in with who you’ve always desired to be.

If you’re feeling the tug within you to discover spiritual mentorship and are ready to uncover who you are called to be, living a life that fits you so well – come join me!

Send me a message to chat about any of my mentorship offerings. I look forward to walking this empowered path together, sharing all my expertise, knowledge and experience with you!

It truly will be life-changing.

Love, Light & Angelic Blessings,

Are You Living the Life You Truly Desire?

Let me ask you a loaded question: Are you living a life you truly desire?

Or are you following a path based on other people’s expectations – a life you think you should lead? It’s a lot to consider. Or maybe it’s quite simple and you know exactly the life you want to be leading, but aren’t. Either way, I was guided to dive into this topic because I see it coming up a lot for my clients and others in my orbit.  

The world has a lot to say when it comes to our lives. From a young age, many of us are steered in certain directions, based on pressures from our parents, family members, society, our friend groups. It can feel like a lot, that kind of pressure. It can be so ingrained in us from ancestral patterns and cultural expectations. Often, parents project their own dreams onto their offspring as a way to live through their experience – as misguided as that is, it’s a pattern that is very common.

All of the above can feel hard, especially if you have an internal nudge, prodding from deep within you, telling you you are meant for something else, something very different. You either push it down and try to ignore it (to the point that you finally have to listen) or you follow it but without a roadmap of what the path ahead even looks like. Both can leave you feeling a little lost.

Which is why I’m here to remind you:

The life you truly desire is not always an easy route, but let me tell you, it is so very worth it for the feeling of deep fulfillment and joy it offers.

I’m writing this today to stress this point: It’s time to be the leader you were meant to be and not the follower that leaves you feeling lost and empty. Pursue your dreams. Go after them, anyway, despite all the reasons the world tries to stop you. Because even if you go off the beaten path and end up falling right on your face, those mistakes, those hurdles, those challenges that arise are there for your greatest good, to help you grow and evolve as a spiritual being. Bumps and bruises along the way are all part of it and nothing to fear. This kind of journey is worth every challenge because you have what it takes to surpass them.

If you haven’t taken the time to sit with all of this, to uncover what it is that truly lights you up and ignites that passion deep within you – this is your sign to do just that. Too many people blindly stumble along a life that someone else chose for them, wondering why things feel misaligned, wondering why they can’t seem to get a true grip on happiness. It truly doesn’t matter what you do with your life, as long as you actively choose a path that brings you peace and fulfillment. No one else gets a say in what makes YOU happy. Take your power back and your freedom and say YES to what was truly meant for you!

If you need guidance in uncovering what it is you do LOVE for your life, book a reading or session with me and we’ll bring forth clarity around these important questions.

Love, light and angelic blessings,

Annmarie

Are You Over Complicating Your Calling?

Whether you believe in past lives or not, there’s no denying that we are here on this earth right now to do certain things. Many of you likely have an understanding around what it is you’re here to do. It could be tied to your work or creative, intuitive pursuits, like being a teacher, a doctor, a healer or an artist. These callings often come in strong. There usually is a draw or a pull towards these different modalities, pathways or ways of being.

Does this sound familiar?

As a spiritual being, you can likely relate to the desire to understand your purpose here. You can likely resonate with the draw towards pathways that fit you best, that light you up. But what I want to talk about today is something I see quite often. It is the act of over complicating your calling. It’s when you spend too much energy ‘trying to figure it all out’ instead of just being.

I’m not saying you shouldn’t inquire and ask important questions as you grow and evolve. I’m not saying to do nothing. What I AM SAYING is to allow more grace and flow, to EASE the pressure when it comes to your calling.

When we get caught up in needing to know every single thing about our path here, we can actually block ourselves from true joy and overflowing abundance. Because we are meant to be in flow with life around us. We are meant to let opportunities feel natural, for pursuits to progress in divine timing – not to get stuck in needing all the answers.

I will admit – not all timelines are rosy and great here on earth. Whether it was a past lifetime or this one here, if it’s been filled with trial and hardship, it could be from a karmic debt, a balancing of the scales. And maybe there is an opportunity to notice the blessings you do have. Instead of constantly ruminating on why nothing is going right, why you can’t seem to get ahead, and whether you should ditch your calling and do something else entirely, perhaps it’s about shifting your focus onto the positive. If your work feels frustrating, maybe part of your calling is simply to be more present with your family. Once you direct your energy to finding joy in quality family time, I have a feeling work life will flow a lot better. See how a simple shift can truly create balance?

Consider:

How are your experiences preparing you for something greater and more fulfilling? Perhaps your circumstances are helping you plant roots so you can rise and bloom in the future? Maybe there’s a powerful lesson asking for you to notice it?

Maybe your calling is about spreading the vibration of love. It doesn’t always have to be some tense, pressure-filled thing.

My thoughts here today are all pointing to the fact that it’s okay to just be. Just be YOU. Do more of what makes you happy, notice the positive in your life, shift your perspective and choose simple - choose to flow with the current of where you’re being led. It doesn’t have to be more complicated than that. You don’t need to have all the answers, my friend, because the beauty of life lies in not having every single answer. And maybe it’s time to notice that beauty once again. For, once you’re in this place, a state of being and flowing and allowing life to be wondrous again, that’s when your true calling will always find its way to you.

There’s never any need to force something that was always meant for you. But first, you must let go, surrender to positivity and choose the paths that feel good to you. Your calling does not have to be some grand accomplishment - it could be just adding a little more light to places that need it.

If you would like additional guidance uncovering your purpose in a compassionate, love-filled way, book a reading with me. I’d love to explore it with you.

Love and light and angelic blessings,

Annmarie

Are You a Psychic Reading Frequent Flyer?

I ask this out of love:

Are You a Psychic Reading Frequent Flyer?

I’m going to address a topic that may feel a bit sticky for some, but nonetheless, needs to be talked about. So here goes. When it comes to psychic readings are you a regular, visiting many different individuals, with a constant unsettled desire for messages? Before I get too far into this, let me first say that my repeat, long term clients are everything to me. If you’re invested in your spiritual growth, healing journey and path of self-discovery and visit me on the regular – I am so proud you are putting the work in and seeking guidance when needed. I’m not talking about investing in your spiritual growth. I’m not talking about building a relationship with a spiritual mentor, like me.

I’m talking about those who visit many different psychics, in search of answers that they want to hear. They arrive with the expectation of hearing exactly what they want to hear and when that isn’t communicated to them, well they’re onto the next, as if that will be any different.

I always relay messages that are for your greatest and highest good. But sometimes Spirit communicates things that aren’t all butterflies and rainbows. Sometimes you need to hear things you really don’t want to, but in the name of your own growth. I have come across too many individuals that aren’t happy when a psychic delivers messages that they don’t want to hear. When the message doesn’t suit them, they move onto the next. Reading after reading, they are often searching for a psychic to tell them exactly what they want to hear, to give them permission to act in a certain way, to feed into unhealthy viewpoints.

This is not growth. This is actually stalling growth, when individuals are unable to hear the truth around a situation, a truth that will ultimately benefit them.

This being said, I never share anything dark and devastating – definitely not. I work with the White Light only, but I won’t sugar coat truths for you. That would not benefit you if I did.

So these folks, the ones who seek out psychic reading after psychic reading, ironically end up hearing the same thing each time. All psychics are different and have a unique set of gifts and abilities, but we all come around to the same message eventually – to the frustration of the frequent flyer.

The overall message here. Psychic readings are not meant to give you an easy route to what you believe is good for you. They are not some magic solution to all your problems. What they will do is shine a light on areas that need your attention. They will guide you down paths that are meant for you, that are healthy for you, but they are not the end-all be-all with convenient answers so you can skip right over the inner work.

I operate from a place of mentorship. I am a guide for you to reach new heights, to tap into your potential - and not a place to come so you can justify your behaviour. If you want to be supported on your journey, if you want to connect with Spirit and learn more about yourself and your purpose, I welcome you with open arms. But if you’re in it for quick fixes, drawn in by the allure of many different psychics and shiny answers, I’m beaming a light on that for you today, so you can take a moment and pause and consider what it is you aren’t ready to face.

Because that, that right there is where the healing and growth begins.

Tough love today, but so important to discuss. For, the more we talk about these things, the more we can act from a place of love and growth, work through edges, and get the most out of experiences ahead.

If you’re ready to invest in your own growth, even in the moments when it doesn’t feel super cozy, book a reading with me. I’d love to guide you to your most empowered self.

Love and light always and always.

What It's Like Mirroring the Energy of Others

I am the mirror for your energy. I’ve known this for most of my life. It’s one of the roles I came here in this lifetime to hold. I wanted to talk about this concept with you today, because with this role, I face a lot of misconceptions and preconceived notions. Being the mirror is not an easy position to be in. While I am here to reflect your energy back to you, I am often the punching bag or the dumping spot for a lot of painful and heavy things.

I am not complaining. I am not sharing this to invoke sympathy. I am sharing this to create awareness. Awareness in what it means to be the mirror as well as awareness in how you are operating and what you are assuming about others.

So let’s first talk about what it means to be a mirror for someone else. These are the kinds of people who are there to illuminate something in yourself. They reflect back the qualities, habits, or actions you may not always want to look at. These people can often trigger you as they are shining brightly back to you what you are not ready or willing to see. In a reading or session with me, I will never share anything Spirit has informed me you aren’t ready to receive. But I will highlight areas that need more attention, all for your greatest and highest good. Whether you are the mirror for others or you’re finding your own struggles are being reflected back you, it’s important to notice and cultivate awareness around this. The more you pay attention, the more growth will occur.

I do my own inner work, I keep my vibration high and yet, a lot comes my way that can be heavy, draining, and entirely negative. It’s been like this for most of my life. People assume they know who I am and have created preconceived notions around who they think I am. People judge me based off of what they’ve heard from others. A lot of rumours, gossip and low-vibrational energy always finds its way to me as people need a place for their baggage. And I am tasked with maintaining my own wellbeing in the midst of this.

It’s not an easy role (did I mention that already? Lol), but I am here to stop this negative chain, the pattern that can flow between people as they spread gossip, believe unfounded truths and live their lives following the dark that is masquerading as the light (see a whole blog article on this topic here!)

I am not here to solve all your problems. I am not even here to make it all feel better. I would love to be able to do that for you. But the only one who can truly improve your life is you. I am here to hold space for you, to reflect back to you the things you really need to look at and it’s not always a fun, jubilant experience. But it’s necessary for your soul’s growth, to raise your vibration here in this lifetime.

So be mindful of how you are showing up in this world, what rumours you believe and what judgements you make before finding the truth on your own. Be sure you are following the white light and never the darkness presenting itself as the light.

Mirrors may trigger you, but it’s for your own greatest good, I promise. Just don’t take your anger out on them.

If you need guidance as your work through all that is being illuminated for you, I am here to shed more light, to provide next steps forward with loving compassion and utmost understanding. If this aligns with you, book a reading with me or signup for one of my courses.

Sending love and light and angelic blessings,

Annmarie

How to Make the Most of January

After a holiday season that held a lot of lovely moments, a lot of emotions, and some unexpected energetic twists and turns, I’m relieved to welcome in this new year. Maybe you’re feeling this way too? Eager for a new chapter to begin, ready to step into the person you’ve been working hard to become, and hoping this is the year where it all goes your way.

I get it. I’m eager too. But like any other journey, your path to spiritual learning will hold bumps, jolts, surprises and plenty of opportunities for growth. This is nothing to worry about as you have the tools and the guide (hi!) to help you navigate through.

Today, I’ll be sharing my thoughts on January so far, providing you with insights to help you make the most of a month that can be quite…for lack of a better word…blah.

So let’s begin. As I mentioned in my last article where I channeled through an energy forecast, January has presented itself with a strange, heavy density. It’s throwing a lot of you off. You may feel drained, lacklustre and, what I’m hearing a lot – o v e r w h e l m e d. If you planned new goals and wrote out inspiring intentions, it can be frustrating feeling this way right now instead of upbeat and motivated. My advice – meet yourself where you’re at and be gentle. Slow inhale. Slow exhale. Repeat. This is a time for REST. We’re in a winter season and it’s okay to give yourself permission to go slow, to have more quiet and more naps when you need to. As long as you are also remembering to nourish yourself with fresh air, mindful movement and self-care practices as part of your regular routine.

Though you might be feeling overwhelmed, this month will also offer you new ideas, increased creativity, loving messages from the other side, and next steps, if you do take the time to slow down and tune in. You’re entering into a period where downloads can come quickly, offering you a lot of wisdom – but it is crucial for you to make space to stop and listen and actually hear them. If you don’t allow space, like carving out time in your evening for meditation and journaling, you’ll remain in that foggy feeling.

It is also important to focus on all that you LOVE right now. You know me, I am not about toxic positivity. I am always straight up with you because the truth is a powerful thing. I will never bypass real issues in order to sugar-coat things. That being said, right now, honest positivity is key. It is crucial that you focus on the good things in your life because where you direct your attention will actually create more of that, more love and more light. Even if things are feeling hard right now, if you can list just one thing that makes you feel good, that will make a difference.

We’re in a weird energy right now, but I know you will make the most of it, creating more space for rest, for fresh air and self-care, for tuning in and listening to the profound messages Spirit is eager to share with you. By focusing on the GOOD in your life, the Law of Attraction dictates that you will only receive more.

And of course, if you need extra support this January, space is open to book 1:1 readings with me. You can also join my Evolve program to dive deeper into your spiritual learning.

Sending you love and light and angelic blessings,

Annmarie
