Arther C. Clark, a famous science fiction author, once said “Magic is a term that we give for a form of technology that we cannot understand.”
In the dark ages, people labeled mysterious mystical things they didn’t understand as “witchcraft” or “sorcery.” In modern times, many people either say psychic work can’t be done, or try to prove it’s simply not possible.
Those of us who believe often label our experiences as magical. However, more and more of us are awakening to the fact that psychic skills, and intuition, are really just a natural ability we all have. It’s still fun to think of it as magic, but in all reality, it’s more practical than anything.
While dabbling in the psychic arts can be fun, true mystical training takes a lifetime (or lifetimes) of dedicated effort. There are so many lessons to learn, upgrades and activations to receive, and wisdom to be gleaned. That’s why so many spiritual traditions have strict measures in place. That’s also why there are secrets and mysteries that are not available to us until we are truly ready and prepared to receive and understand them.
In this quick-fix world, we are so used to getting things “on demand” that it’s easy to apply that mentality to everything. Deep psychic and mystical work, however, requires serious dedication. It’s worth it in the end — although there truly is no end. 😆
This week I’m bringing you an interview I did with my friend and mentor, Debra Lynne Katz. Debra is a leading expert in the field of psychic development and remote viewing. She’s written three books on psychic development and is finishing up a fourth book on remote viewing.
I actually trained one-on-one with Debra over a decade ago when I was developing my own psychic skills. She is a wonderful teacher. She makes the psychic arts accessible and fun.
In this interview, we cover some important questions about psychic development, such as:
How and why everyone is naturally psychic
The best way to get started on the path towards developing your own psychic skills
The most common blocks to being psychic
The dangers of doing psychic work
Why formal training in the psychic arts is important
This is the first interview I’ve done for the channel, so I hope you like it, and bear with me as I learn and grow!
Thank you so much for reading and watching. For more info on Debra’s amazing work, and her psychic development classes, visit http://www.debrakatz.com.
This week I’m answering a request that came from someone who asked if I think we are more psychic during times when we are really depressed, vs. times when we’re not. She had gone through a horrible bout of depression. And she noticed her psychic abilities were really amplified during that time. She reflected on other times in her life when her depression was bad, and realized she had been more psychic then, too. She is much better now, and still working on her psychic skill set, which is great.
I thought that was an amazing question. We are all familiar with stories of extreme stress and peril activating amazing abilities. And we’ve all heard stories about those people who have near death experiences coming back with stronger psychic powers. But does being depressed make psychic abilities stronger?
Reflecting back on my own psychic development journey, I actively trained and meditated every single day. I really made it a priority above other activities, no matter where I was emotionally. So there weren’t a lot of days when I wasn’t trying to be in psychic mode at some point. Some days I was more psychic than others, which I have attributed more to universal energies than anything else.
However, in the times when I’ve struggled deeply, I’ve spent much more time in prayer. I’m talking about the times when you are in such a challenging place that all you can do is pray and beg for help and ask for signs and miracles. During those times, I absolutely did feel more of a connection to my guides and angels. I asked, and they answered. They gave me hope and the strength to keep on going.
When your life is great and everything is fine, you are typically very busy running around doing this or that, socializing with people, and having fun. It doesn’t give you much time or space for that quiet intuitive voice to speak up. When you are down, however, you tend to be more withdrawn, and searching for answers. You’re not so actively involved in the world. And that, for what it’s worth, will absolutely amplify your psychic abilities.
I hope that makes sense!

This week I’m covering a sneaky little thing that happens when you’re in psychic mode. I’ll call it psychic laziness! I’ve been guilty of it myself, and I’ve seen it happen with students many times over the years. When psychic laziness sets in, you stop yourself from getting as much psychic information as you could because of one of two things. You are either afraid you’ll be too amazing, or you’re afraid you will not get anything at all or be terribly wrong.
The Tennis Bracelet
Recently, a friend lost a beautiful and valuable diamond tennis bracelet at her daughter’s birthday party. I did a quick remote viewing session to check in and see if I could find it. I just jumped in, got an image of the bracelet in sunlight and something green like grass maybe, and jumped out of the session. I stopped myself from looking further and getting more clues because my thoughts got in the way. I thought maybe it had fallen off by a curb at the party location, or in the grass at her house and one of her dogs got it. She’d already checked the gift bags, which was the first thing I asked before doing the RV session.
The good new is, she did find it a couple of weeks later! It had fallen into a vase of flowers that had been on the cake table. I was so happy for her! And I also kicked myself, because I should have spent more time looking for it remotely instead of assuming it was lost for good.
Psychic Students
The fear of being too good or too bad at psychic work is a challenging thing to overcome. And it’s perfectly normal to not want to try as hard as you can. If you are super amazing, the things you will get will absolutely ASTOUND you. If you are awful, well, then, it’s more of an issue of you blocking yourself. In the beginning, many of my psychic students need to be pushed to see things clearly. This pushing is not about pressure to be quick. It’s about complete patience and thoroughness. Psychic information can take time to unfold. Many students sit quietly for several minutes before images start appearing or messages are heard. That’s natural!
To be in the flow, you have to continually push yourself, and to refresh your psychic feed to get new images. It’s important to continually turn down your analytical mind. Another thing that is helpful is to look at parts of yourself to see where you are holding yourself back. Psychic work is the perfect pathway for personal growth in that regard.
Hairy Legs and a Pan Flute?!?
Over a decade ago, when I was learning to be psychic, I did a reading for my best friend from high school. She’d had bad experiences with dating and just wanted to know if I could get any information about her ultimate long-term guy. What we both remember from that session is that I said he would have hairy legs and play the pan flute. We laughed and laughed. Was he PAN? Or a faun romping through the forest? But what’s even funnier is she just met THE GUY. And…drumroll please…he has hairy legs and a pan flute. How random and funny is that!
That’s how this all works! It’s great to be diligent with psychic work and not slip into psychic laziness, because, as with most things in life, practice makes perfect. Even if it takes a decade to find out whether you were accurate or not!

When I started developing my own psychic abilities and learning how to tune in to my intuition, I heard a spiritual teacher say that one of the things you absolutely had to do, no matter what, was meditate.
At that time, I despised the idea of meditation! I was really reticent about it. But I have a very active chattering monkey mind that is extremely powerful and is always going, going, going all the time. I’ve learned from experience that you can’t get into that intuitive space if your mind is taking over. It is just nearly impossible. So take it from me – the #1 most important thing you can do in order to activate your psychic abilities is to still yourself and get into a very quiet space.
Noise Pollution = Energetic Pollution
We live in a noisy world where we are constantly on the go. Noise and energy radiates from our phones, other people, their phones, radios, TVs, exterior noise, and more. All of that drowns out the intuition, which is extremely quiet.
To get to that space where intuition lives, it’s vital to retreat from the noise and the people of the world. There’s a reason why powerful monks and sages have retreated into the mountains, away from society, for ages. External factors don’t bother them, and they are able to dedicate their lives to their spiritual practice.
Guided Meditations are Ideal for Psychic Development
In everyday life, if you can set aside time each day to listen to guided meditations that are geared towards activating your intuition, you can make great progress. What you are doing is actually slowing down your brain waves, turning down your analytical mind, and activating your creative, intuitive mind. Following these types of guided meditations (I have a few on my website) really does shift your energy.
Something to be aware of, if you’re working on your intuition and psychic abilities, is that the majority of people do not believe this is possible. Whether or not they vocalize this belief, it’s still there. That might cause you to shrink back and not be as amazing and incredible as you can be.
Retreating and creating a cocoon of quietness every day gives you the sacred space and place to work on these skills. Eventually, they will get stronger and better, and you will look forward to the respite you get as well. It’s priceless!

This week’s video is about psychic development, and it’s a tricky topic, so bear with me as I try to explain it!
It’s that some of us use psychic/intuitive insight as a way to control our environment, giving us a very deep and real sense of comfort in this crazy world.
Being really tuned in, knowing how to read oracles and activate our own psychic senses at will, is great. It helps us to be more wise, and to navigate life more easily. What it doesn’t do, however, is give us a “Get out of Jail Free” card. While we can avoid certain situations, we can’t avoid the bigger life lessons altogether.
Ignorance is Bliss!
No matter how much we can try to navigate, plan and prepare for life using oracles and other forms of divination, some things are bound to happen no matter what. In many cases, NOT knowing we’re going to have to go through an unavoidable difficult situation is easier than finding out in advance. To be honest, some things are better left unknown!
We ALL have lessons we have to learn in this lifetime, and all the mystical wisdom in the multiverse can’t save us from that. At times, psychic intel can help us make decisions that can change certain factors and situations, but if it’s a lesson we have to learn, the essence of the lesson will most assuredly pop up again, just in another form.
Psychic Work, at it’s Best, is Transformative
That’s where psychic work can be truly transformative, because it can help us understand the intricacies of our lessons so that we can improve ourselves and grow by leaps and bounds.
Being psychic and intuitive can help us to be omniscient in many ways. However, for true and deep guidance, it helps to intuitively seek answers from sources greater than ourselves. I love channeling for that reason, and I also love reading the iChing oracle. In times when great insight is needed, they both provide such a wellspring of wisdom that it can sometimes be overwhelming. With the iChing, for example, it’s like you’re talking to a wise noble Yoda-type being who is giving you guidance and advice. You just have to be willing to listen and learn.
We are all here to strive towards enlightenment. As long as we are on the path of being understanding, loving, and kind, we’re on the right track. That involves being good to ourselves, too, knowing that we all struggle, no matter how intuitive we are.
I hope this makes sense and helps!

A fascinating topic that often comes up when people talk about the power of the mind is that of telekinesis, which means moving objects with your mind. While it really does sound like a power limited to superheroes, telekinesis CAN be learned: you just have to be patient and build up to it.
Some people are naturals when it comes to TK (not to be confused with Transitional Kindergarten). For others, it takes practice. It’s best to start out with lightweight objects before attempting bigger and heavier things, because, sensibly speaking, they weigh more and it takes more energy to move them!
If you’re interested in learning how to activate your own telekinetic abilities, here are a couple of things you can start out with:
Use a Pendulum
A pendulum is, generally speaking, a crystal or stone that hangs from a chain. Using a pendulum can give you great yes/no answers. It will either swing back and forth, or kind of swing around in a circular direction. My pendulum swings clockwise for yes and counter clockwise for no.
Hold the pendulum and say “show me yes/no” or just say “move for me” and keep your hand still, or hang it from something and look at it as you mentally ask it to move. Even if your hand is completely still, it will move. That is TK – you are moving an object with your mind. When you are using a pendulum to get answers or guidance, you’re using your subconscious/higher self, but when you are just telling it to move, as in this exercise, you’re demonstrating TK.
Practice with a Candle Flame
Light a candle in a room with no breeze or air flow. Just stare at the flame and become one with it, and feel like you are simpatico with that flame. Admire it, appreciate it, think about how much you like it. And then ask it to grow taller. And the flame will get taller! Then ask it if it can shrink low, and it will. Next, ask it to dance…and it will!
Give yourself half an hour to an hour to get going with this. Many of us can get easily bored and give up before we have a chance to make it work. Again, if you’re patient, you will see results!
Now, sometimes TK happens spontaneously. A classic example is when our energy is strong and we experience a negative emotion while working on the computer. I’ve fried a couple of computers this way and I now know to put my laptop down if I get emotional. Many students and fellow energy workers have had the same thing happen to them. It also manifests in the form of cars acting up and “wigging out” when you’re emotional too.
I haven’t focused on telekinesis much in my practice because I didn’t see how it could immediately and practically help clients heal and grow. For me, learning to be psychic so I could get answers for people, and running energy to help them heal, made more sense.
I’ve been to psychic/consciousness conferences with friends in this realm, and at some of these, they all get together to bend spoons as a fun practice. They will literally grab some spoons from catering, meet in one of the conference rooms, and then bend them, but I never went in to join them because I was like, what am I going do with a bent spoon? Whoop dee-doo! I would be more inclined to learn TK in order to mend a wound. Let’s say somebody’s hurt and you know how to move objects with your mind and you bring the skin back together, or you knock a weapon out of a bad guy’s hand. Now that would be epic and very superhero-like, don’t you think?
If you would like to just see if you’re able to move a candle flame, or a pendulum, by all means try it! If anything, it will help reinforce how powerful you really are. 🙂

It’s Back-to-School week (already!) so this week’s note will be short and sweet!
Over the years of giving and receiving readings, I’ve noticed a really awesome way in which certain psychic information comes in. It happens a lot, but if you don’t pay attention, you can miss it.
It’s through short, succinct, to-the-point messages.
Just one little phrase, or even a couple of words, can be so loaded with significance that it can be more impactful to a person than an entire 60 minute reading. For example, a few years ago, I had an unfortunate negative energy issue. I got tons of readings and healings to clear it and it finally did go away. But during that time period, two wonderful people who didn’t know each other at all both said “rainbows and unicorns” in separate sessions when offering advice for clearing it.
Isn’t that nuts and also awesome? For me, rainbows and unicorns symbolize my childhood hopes and dreams, and, well, they make me very happy in a magical way. In the spiritual realms too, you’ll find that there actually is something to unicorns…they are indeed a healing energy…and rainbows represent the spectrum of visible light, which is incredibly powerful and healing to the aura, chakras, and etheric (as well as the physical) body. But they are also both just pretty awesome in their own right. Talk about symbolism!
Little messages like these coming up happens all the time in sessions, so if you just pay attention to odd or unusual phrases and words, you can unpack them and find them to be deeply significant and special.
To take it a step further, I recently attended the annual International Remote Viewing Association conference. One of the speakers was a woman who presented research findings from a project she did with some remote viewers. And she said one of the ways she interpreted the data that the remote viewers recorded was by playing what the viewers said BACKWARDS. So literally, she played the recordings backwards and heard other words and phrases that gave more insight into their findings.
I have to suppress a laugh about this because….scary movies…and then I also thought of Missy Elliot’s song “Work It” (“listen up close while I take it backwards” LOL!) But after all of my juvenile processing, I realized how utterly fascinating (and still a little bit creepy) it is that the human subconscious will deliver pertinent information through the subcontext of backwards speech. Still ever so slightly weird to me though!!!! Right?!?!
Anyway, this short little video and message was just me wanting to share a cool way things come through. Your guides will work with you the same way, too – with short succinct messages that hit home.
There is so much we don’t know about all of this, but I feel like talking about it and acknowledging it helps us all understand things a little bit better, as well as remain open to new things that come though.

Whether you are working hard to connect with your guides, to open up to your psychic and intuitive abilities, or just to meditate and raise your consciousness/vibration, it’s HIGHLY LIKELY that somewhere along the way, you will experience a pressure on your head/shoulders, tickles, and/or a ringing in your ears.
What does this mean?
In my experience, it’s either 1) a sign that your guides or angels are coming through to communicate with you, or 2) you are shifting your energy up to the point where you can literally feel it changing.
If you’re not paying attention, you likely will not notice. This typically only happens when you focus your awareness on it, and are intent upon the work at hand.
That’s where the universe meets you halfway. As human beings, we do very well having physical experiences. Which is why, when you quiet your mind and focus on raising your vibes, you will be able to feel your aura change. And then, when you call on your guides and angels and ask them to work with you, they will enter into your aura to help you feel that they are here. It really is fascinating and so interesting how this all works.
This week’s message is short and sweet, so I’ll leave it at that! If you do want to connect with your guides a little more, I have a wonderful spirit guide meditation you can work with – just click here and scroll down to grab it.
