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.

Money and Healing Your Spending Habits

You’ve probably heard all the sayings by now, some good, some completely based in anxious energy.

Money is the root of all evil.

Money doesn’t grow on trees.

Money is the answer to my prayers.

Maybe if I win the lottery.

Money has quite a lot attached to it. Most times we adopt money beliefs and spending habits based on how we grew up. Whether you realize it or not, you have certain beliefs around this resource that may be running the show in your life, determining how you act, and most importantly, how you feel on a day-to-day basis.

In reality, money is simply a resource, an energy that we assign positives and negatives to. When you stop and think, is money something that causes you a great deal of stress and anxiety, no matter what your bank account says? Or is it something that you trust the flow of? Do you feel the urge to spend it the moment you receive it? Or do you have the need to save every dollar, scared to spend any of it? Noticing your money patterns can help you get to the root of anxiety and blockages in your life. Dedicating time to journaling on this can help you truly unpack your belief systems, helping you realize what belongs to you and what has merely been passed down to you from family members. When you start to heal your relationship with money, understanding that we live in an abundant universe, despite what you have been told, despite the phrases thrown your way, more and more of it will start to flow into your life.

When you think about winning the lottery – it feels like a dream come true, right? But have you truly stopped to think about it? What would you actually do with that amount of money? Would you spend it all right away? Would you spend it on others, hoping they’ll still be there when it runs out? Would you be okay with such a rapid change in your lifestyle? Sitting with this idea can help you further work through your money beliefs. Winning the lottery would be an incredible, helpful thing! But it may cause more stress and anxiety if you haven’t healed the underlying beliefs around it.

This is all comes back to my main point I want to stress - money should not control you. It doesn’t determine who you are as a person and it does not reflect the amount of inner work you’ve done on yourself. It does NOT determine your value as a human on this earth. You can absolutely have a lot of it. Yes. And I hope that you are able to live a comfortable, joyful life, thriving in all areas. Having more money can help you do a lot of good in this world, this I believe. But first, you must take a look at your patterns, deconstruct all the old narratives around it, so you can see it for what it is, an energy exchange, one that can work in your favour.

You must always value others for who they are as a person, and not the price tag on their car. Money is a tool and the more you heal, the more all of this will ring true for you.

I hope this reminder serves you well – that money only holds the power you assign it, that it should never control you, that your money patterns are doorways in to heal on an even deeper level.

If you need extra support on recognizing and healing your money beliefs, book a reading with me. I would love to help you work through all the old narratives coming up for you, so you can experience the calm and freedom that true abundance can offer.

 

Love and Light and Angelic Blessings,

Welcoming in New Beginnings

A lot of times, we long for a new beginning. We don’t like the current place we’re in, be it mentally, physically, or emotionally. We want to feel better, we want to live somewhere else, we desire a life that just feels more aligned. I get it. It’s all part of your spiritual growth. The more you evolve and grow, the more you outgrow people and places that once felt right. It’s all normal and it’s actually a good sign. But it can be frustrating feeling stuck in that in between stage, of wanting a new beginning but not quite arriving at it yet.

The truth is, there really are so many lessons that can be found in this in between space. There is so much you can learn about yourself and what you truly desire for your life. But I do acknowledge that growth is not always easy – in most cases it’s actually quite uncomfortable – which is why I’m going to help guide you in the process of calling in your new beginning. So it feels attainable and not so out of reach.

The first thing you can do when it comes to creating a new opportunity for yourself or attracting in a new way of living or being, is becoming clear on what isn’t working for you. What doesn’t feel great anymore? What no longer lights you up? What makes you feel downright awful? It can be hard to look at, but understanding what no longer fits you and what exactly needs to be released, can help you move on from what might be keeping you stagnant or stuck.

The next step is spending time becoming crystal clear on what it is you DO want to call in. If you want to feel better, how can you be more specific with that? Do you want to laugh more in your day? Do you want to call in new, supportive friendships? If you desire a new job or creative work, what does that look like? Spend some time journaling and meditating on this so that the Universe can begin co-creating the exact things on your heart.

After this inner work, it’s time to look at your outer world. As I’ve talked about before, physical items hold onto emotions and energy. Meaning, if you want a fresh new wave of energy around you, begin cleaning out areas of your home that no longer serve you. Start with your closets, cupboards or spaces that tend to collect clutter. By clearing this old energy out, you will not only feel lighter, but you’ll be creating space for your new opportunity to flow right in.

And lastly – hold the vision. Practice trust and gratitude for all that you have in this moment, knowing a new beginning is on its way. The more we can surrender and let go of the ‘how’, the more abundance, peace and joy will arrive in your life. The more you can take tiny little aligned action steps towards what you want to call in, the sooner it will arrive.

We are in the season of Spring and new beginnings, growth and possibility are all around us. The more you spend time preparing yourself for what is next, the more fulfilling it will be when it does arrive. Trust me, it will all be worth the wait.

Believe in good things, my friends! They are happening all around us. Sometimes we must pause and take notice to realize how loving and breathtaking this life really is.

But of course, if you do need extra guidance in unpacking the old energy, moving out of stagnant places and uncovering what your new beginning will be, I’m always here to support you with a reading, guiding you in your spiritual growth.

Love, Light & Angelic Blessings,

Annmarie

Let Me Tell You a Ghost Story

It all begins on a dark and stormy night, with a loud bang that could not be explained…

Okay, now that I have your attention… I’m just kidding with the theatrics. Well, sort of. You see, ghost energy has been around me for most of my life. It’s something I’ve learned to adapt to, something I’ve asked the Universe to make manageable so that I’m not constantly startled by an entity staring me down every time I turn a corner. Most of the time it’s mundane and harmless, it’s nothing wild and scary - just a nice lady popping in to help me make lunches for my children on a weekday years ago.

Ghosts themselves do not need to be feared. They are earth-bound spirits on their own journey back home. Sometimes they’re stuck. Sometimes they’re not ready to move on. Often they need a little help to get where they’re going. Today, I’ll be sharing some of my own experiences with you, showing you a glimpse into my world, diving into the most memorable ghost energy that has interacted with me over the years.

So back to the nice lady who decided to help me make my kids’ lunches years ago. I could see her plainly with my eyes as she stood in my kitchen, her hands extended out, ready to help. I was surprised by the gesture, but she simply wanted to be there, assisting as I completed this everyday task. It was interesting, really, more than anything else. And then she was gone and that was that. Another time, I was in my bathroom doing my hair like any other morning. All of a sudden, I see a woman standing behind me. She had her hands on my hair in a loving way, trying to help me with it. It wasn’t a terrifying moment, no. Catching someone otherworldly in a mirror reflection is usually an unsettling feeling for most people, I get that - but this wasn’t. I could tell she was from New York. She didn’t share much else – just her caring energy and a desire for me to have a good hair day…

Ghost energy is not always human spirits. I’ve had many experiences with animals in the field behind my house – horses and dogs especially. So much so that I’d just sit in my backyard and watch them. Why were they there? For a variety of reasons, which I’ll dive into in a future post. But back to the human spirits. A little while ago I had a chef drop in. While this could have been a perfect opportunity to learn a few culinary secrets and delicious recipes from him, all he wanted to do was watch TV with me. He just wanted to be near me. He wanted to share his story, a little bit about himself, as he sat calmly next to me. And then, like most of the others, he was gone, on his way. Many times these energies sit in the car with me on trips around town. I mean, car rides are never boring, that’s for sure!

Another memorable ghost interaction was a man who worked on the train tracks many decades ago. He actually decided to be one of my guides for a while, helping the flow of energy so I wasn’t overwhelmed by all the ghost energy finding its way to me. He would order the ghosts in a line for me, acting as the gatekeeper so I wasn’t bombarded by too many at once, especially in times where I needed peace and quiet. You know, like bedtime. His name was Ted and he’s since crossed over to be with his family who were waiting for him. He just wanted to ensure I was okay first, before he left, and I’m entirely grateful for what he did for me.

There was another time when I was watching a movie with my husband and children, years ago, and our family dog, Jessie, ran from us, over to the kitchen. She ran right to the corner where she usually receives treats. We all looked at her and knew, she saw the ghost and actually expected a treat from them. It was an interesting experience because my children had never witnessed anything like this and we all stared, watching in amazement. The ghost must have told Jessie to go because our sweet dog came running right back to us and stuck right to our sides after that. The ghost didn’t mean her any harm, she was just observing us and Jessie had mistaken her from one of the family.

Since all of these experiences, I have learned, most of all, to create boundaries. I have strict protection around my home so that ghosts can rarely enter anymore. The dark energies are definitely not allowed in. While most entities are usually only around me to drop in and tell their stories, not meaning any harm, I still need to function in my day. I can’t have a group of cowboys gallivanting around my bedroom at three a.m., causing havoc while I’m trying to sleep (yes, this did happen). I’ve asked the Universe to make it all manageable for me and, thankfully, I’m not often disrupted or startled anymore. I’m here to help them, yes, but it’s not helpful to anyone involved if I’m overwhelmed or bombarded.

This is just a glimpse into my life between the layers. But let me know – would you like to hear more on my experiences with earth-bound spirits? Do you have ghost stories of your own? Feel free to share below! And if you’re needing extra guidance navigating the energy around you, or individuals popping in to share thoughts from the other side, book a session with me and I’ll help bring clarity around what is happening.

Sending love, light and angelic blessings,

Annmarie

The Truth Behind the Chaos You’re Feeling Right Now

You may have noticed it. The chaotic feeling that seems to loom around every corner right now. Things may feel out of sorts, dense, confusing and definitely not going as planned. I am writing this for you today to ensure you – there’s no need to panic. I’m shedding some light on the situation so that you can feel more calm and ease in your day as we navigate this season we’re in.

To begin, the energy has been intense since we started this year, that’s for sure. There have been waves of heaviness so thick you may have had trouble seeing beyond your present moment. The truth is, there are a few forces working hard to instill fear in the population right now. Whether you follow the media closely or not, you’ve likely caught glimpses of headlines stirring up the mix. I’m not going to go into details about the news stories I’m referring to (I’m sure you can fill in the blanks!), as that is an article all on its own. But I will dive into the bigger picture at hand.

We’re being distracted.

The world is changing at a much quicker rate than we may be ready for and the big players in our world are trying to distract us from this. They’re trying to keep us stuck and in fear so that we will continue to subscribe to the old, outdated paradigms. I have been reminded by Spirit that that Universe wants calm and peace, always. That is the possibility infinitely available for us and the direction Spirit would like us to travel in. But if we consume too much of the noise all around us, forgetting to connect into our centre, then chaos is what is felt, in us and around us, instead.

It’s okay if chaos has been your reality lately. It just means it’s time to come back into balance, to use your discernment more often in your day.

When it comes to our external world, I’ve been reminded to sit back and take a bird’s eye view. To look at the bigger picture. I invite you to do the same. Are you subscribing to the channel of fear, worry and continuous anxiety? Because the result of that is chaos. Or, are you subscribing to the channel of LOVE, of light, of surrendering to the power of Universe, while opening your eyes to the systems at play? The result of that is beautiful calm and an inner peacefulness that will silence any storms within you.

Imagine yourself, feet planted firmly on the ground, while the storm blows around you. You do not waver. You hold steady because you are grounded in your own truth. That is the visual I want you to hold onto.

There is something greater at play happening in our world right now, yes. Imagine also, a snow globe flipped on its head. We must pause, keep our eyes open, look for understanding within us and wait for the snow to settle. We must wait for the storm to calm.

In the meantime, I’m inviting you to call in the truth, to see beyond what you’re told, to gain insight for yourself, using your intuition as your guide. Do not blindly consume. Be intentional with what you take in and create discernment around topics that feel unsettling.

What feels true? What must you look a little deeper at? What sensations arise when you think of certain topics? By cultivating these practices and tuning deeper into your spiritual tools, you will be able to better navigate any chaos that arises, knowing what feels true and what really, does not.

 And if you need any additional guidance in navigating your world right now – send me a message or book a reading with me. I am always here to support you!

Love & Light & Angelic Blessings,

Annmarie

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,

When the Dark Masquerades as the Light - How to Ensure You Know the Difference

The darkness can be a misleading thing. It should be obvious, right? The dark is, well, dark. Dense, negative, low-vibrational, stress-inducing and does not make you feel good. The light, on the other hand is pure love, supportive, flowing, truly uplifting to be around. The difference between the two should be blatantly obvious, yet I’ve witnessed something occurring more often than I’d like to right now – the dark masquerading as the light.

And getting away with it.

I mean, I’m not surprised. The dark will do whatever it can to trick and mislead us and for those who are newly awakened or in the early stages of their spiritual journey, this can be hella confusing and not a good thing at all. I’ve spoken with other light workers and they’ve seen this happening more often as well. The dark is presenting itself as the light and too many people are falling for it. I’m coming here today with this message so we can truly shine the light on this issue, freeing ourselves from anything disruptive and negative.

Let’s begin.

How can you truly tell the difference between the white light and darkness pretending to be it? It requires tapping into a deeper sense of feeling in your body or noticing your clairsentience, which is about feeling and receiving information and messages through physical sensations in your body. The more you pay attention to your body in a variety of situations, noticing what a YES feels like and also, what a distinct NO feels like, you’ll begin to gain clarity on what feels right and what doesn’t. A YES could feel like an excited dancing in your stomach or pleasant tingling in your fingertips. A NO could feel like a constriction in your chest or a severe twisting in your gut. It is absolutely necessary to pay attention to these physical sensations as often as you can as they are telling you everything you need to know. What you feel and where it shows up in your body will be specific to you, so becoming familiar with your body’s reactions will be a great place to start in your journey of deciphering and discernment.  

So then how does this relate to dark and white light energy? Even when something is presenting itself as bright, positive light, you will be able to feel the difference if you are aware and paying close attention. Let’s say an opportunity arises that looks amazing on paper. You’re drawn to it and it promises great rewards and everything you’ve been asking for. This could be a new job, a new partner, a friendship or a new project. It’s pulling you in and it’s hard to resist. But when you stop to feel into it, it doesn’t feel good in your body. In fact, you experience the unpleasant physical sensations that come with a NO for you. This could mean the opportunity is just not meant for you. Or, it could mean it’s the darkness masquerading as the light to lure you in.

The next part to creating an understanding between the light and the dark is to make time for doing the inner work. I have spent a lot of time working through my shadows. This has looked like acknowledging and releasing past life traumas, patterns and narratives that no longer serve me. This has looked like working through obstacles in this lifetime – emotional and physical. There have been times where I’ve had to truly come to terms with different relationships in my life, understanding which ones were healthy for me and which ones weren’t, releasing the ones that had essentially run their course. None of this has been easy, but because I’ve spent a lot of time with my shadows and the darkness around them, I know, very well, what the dark looks like. I say all this to show you that you must do your own shadow work, you must look at your inner obstacles and areas for growth in order to create the strongest understanding of what the darkness feels like. Because once you’ve truly felt it, it’s very hard to mistake it for the white light.

This lesson of deciphering between light and dark is coming at all of us right now so that we can become more aware, more discerning, growing as spiritual leaders in our world. No one likes to be tricked and it can be quite irritating and destructive to be led down a path of darkness thinking we are sharing the light. It’s time to put an end to it, to take our power back. This year is about uncovering your purpose and connecting deeper to your body and the guidance that arises there. Notice your feelings, notice frequencies, notice, notice, notice. And trust yourself. The more you practice, the more you will know when something feels entirely wrong in your system.

And remember, you’ve got this. You are always divinely supported. By trusting your gut and following those intuitive nudges, you will avoid being led astray.

If you are looking for extra guidance as you navigate your path or more support on light and dark energies, sign up for a 1:1 reading with me or enroll in my Evolve Spiritual Mentorship program.

 

Sending you Love, Light and Angelic Blessings,

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,

Energy Forecast - What You Can Expect January 2023

We’re in the last week of the year. Wild, right? But for many of us, myself included, we’re so looking forward to a clean slate, to saying: ‘See ya later!’ to all that was 2022. Don’t get me wrong, there were many meaningful moments, periods of growth and things I’m incredibly grateful for, all packed into the past months. There were times of expansion and contraction. And now there’s a lot to be felt, reflected on, released, and left behind as we step into a fresh new year ahead.

As we prepare for the closely-approaching January, I’ve connected with my Spirit Team, downloading messages and receiving an energy forecast to help us all navigate early 2023. The first thing I observed is an unfamiliar energy that actually began in late 2022. You likely felt it, too - a heavy, consuming wave-like energy that has made you feel more tired than usual, craving sleep, feeling slightly off, like you’re not in the right headspace for all the things that normally come easily to you.

The truth is, this wave will continue into January and the early weeks of 2023. I’m being guided to remind you to make space for extra rest when you need it, to move your body more, to spend time in nature, and to get as much sunlight as you can. These physical elements will make a huge difference in how you navigate January. If you’re not a fan of cold weather, regular exercise or exploring nature on a dull, dreary day, this is the time to challenge yourself. Dress warm, take movement slow and know that, even on cloudy days, you are still receiving sunlight. January will be about taking action in terms of the self-care you really need most, which will require noticing how you feel and tuning into your intuition more often than ever before. This is not the time to put the blinders on. This is the time to pay attention.

The more aware you become, the more you’ll notice how this energy throws you off. This is mostly because it’s new and unfamiliar and we’re needing to physically adjust to it. With this being said, if you do take the steps to nurture yourself and notice what you truly need each day, you’ll be able to navigate it. As you do, this will become a time where downloads will increase from Spirit, your intuition will heighten, but only if you’re taking care of your physical self. If you ignore the messages from your body, your intuition can actually seem cloudier and less connected. Know that this is only a sign that you need more self-nurturing.

You are also reminded to worry less about resolutions and instead focus in on the practices that you can sustain throughout the whole year. Focus less on changing a specific thing in your life and more on embracing habits like journaling, meditating, painting, walking, mindful eating etc. - things that will raise your vibration and help you grow in your spiritual journey.

January is typically a month for ‘hibernating’ so to speak, but movement is being reiterated to me. Moving your body will help you shake off any lingering denseness. Moving from one place to another in terms of day trips, hikes, travel and exploration is something that will help you feel enriched in the new year. Whatever that looks like to you, I am being told that new knowledge, messages, guidance and information can be found outside of your usual realm and home base.

January may first appear a little gloomy, exhausting and uninspired. But beneath the surface, you do have the tools to make it a month of greater intuitive learning and self-discovery. You will really be asked to create long-term self-care habits and they will be a game-changer for you if you stick with them. This month is about the balance of rest and movement and remaining curious about topics that interest you the most.

The world is changing. I can feel it. You likely can, too. This wave that is here is unfamiliar, but in it, we have the opportunity to grow into stronger, wiser, more in-tune, versions of ourselves.

And of course, if you need help navigating this first month of the year and all that comes with it, feel free to book a reading with me or sign-up for Evolve, my Spiritual Mentorship Program.

All the best this new year! Sending Love, Light & Angelic Blessings,

Annmarie

The Deck of Inspirations and Dreams is Here!

After months of creating the vision, planning, channeling, and pulling the design all together, I can finally share that my own deck is officially HERE! The Deck of Inspirations and Dreams is something I’ve been wanting to create for some time now. Earlier this year, I knew it was finally time to take action and bring it all forth, into the physical world. And it’s been an incredibly meaningful, wonderful experience, holding it in my hands.

The deck consists of a collection of words and symbols that speak directly to your life in that moment. You’ll see a word displayed in the centre of each card, words like Build, Adventure, Laughter, Breakdown, and as you read it, the invitation is for you to notice what you’re feeling. What do you feel from the word you pulled? What rises up within you? How does it resonate? Sit with this sensation, allow yourself to feel it and be present with it. Further guidance will flow through as you notice your own response to it. Throughout the deck, there is a positive, affirming message on each card and also areas for growth and improvement. Every message on every card is aimed to help you grow and learn and understand a little more about yourself as you navigate your spiritual journey.

As you receive the guidance meant for you, the next step is to then journal on it, diving deeper into this specific area of focus. I guarantee even more will flow through as you do. To assist you with this, I’ve included your very own journal with the deck (each can be purchased separately) to help you easily tap in and recognize the importance of what you are asking the deck and why. So you can then cultivate awareness and choose action steps to break certain patterns in your life. The Deck of Inspirations and Dreams is an amazing tool to add to your own daily practices, anchoring you into the present moment, helping you feel grounded and balanced in your day, providing you with clear direction on next steps in your life.

I have been so excited, eagerly awaiting the moment I could share this beautiful creation with all of you - and the day has finally arrived! I cannot wait for you to experience the deck for yourself. If you would like to pre-order The Deck of Inspirations and Dreams and journal, click here.

Love & Light & Angelic Blessings,
