Intuition: Instinctive Knowledge

Today I am interviewing Amy Cerny Vasterling, the Intuitive Pathfinder (Intuitive Reader). It is through Amy that I have gathered some of the information in my soon-to-be-published book, "My Spirit, My Journey-A Beginners Guide: How To Discover, Decide, And Delight In Your Spiritual Journey".




How do you define intuition?

I define intuition as our ability to sense via discernment or inner knowing. A way I often define how to work with it for my clients is it’s about seeing a pattern or connection in everything. If everything is connected, therefore there is nothing, which cannot be connected. 

Does everyone have intuition, or just certain people?

I believe we all have it and I believe some of us have it stronger than others but it is a skill to be honed, not a gift. 


"At that moment my son stuck a key in the socket and fell to the floor."

What are some indicators to know you are receiving intuitive information?

I feel intuition comes in two forms in my life, however, I think they are the same thing. This example comes in the form of a story. My daughter and I were in the kitchen preparing dinner when we both put down our cooking utensils and walked out to the living room without speaking or knowing why. At that moment my son stuck a key in the socket and fell to the floor. Both of us "knew" something was wrong. I believe we pick this up from the electromagnetic field of our heart. We sensed what was happening in the quantum field (the energy between the atoms) and it draws us in surpassing judgment. 

I also know because I am amply able to do it that we are able to see, smell, taste (ick), feel and sense energy and read it. This is psychic ability but a true intuitive passes it through their discernment before they dish it up. Many people today align to calling themselves "Intuitive" and I would challenge each of them for a definition. This is going to help you align with the best match in a good reader/intuitive for your specific needs. 

"This is psychic ability but a true intuitive passes it through their discernment before they dish it up."

Please tell us about some of the work you do as an intuitive.

This career has offered me a grand platform on which to expand. I've been a keynote speaker on the topic of aligning with your true self, spoken on a panel as the expert on "Reading Energy" and traveled around the US speaking about intuition and how to work with your own. I also teach on the topics of transforming grief, empowering kids through parenting and grandparenting, intuition and self-empowerment workshops. I coach, counsel and read for individuals as I can quickly see their core issues and give them tools so they can find the solutions. Lastly, I am currently working on a forthcoming project of podcasting on a whole host of topics. Some including but are not limited to; understanding what the angel, guide, saint, etc realms are and how they work. This will launch January 2016. Watch my website for more information.

I also am a fine artist and am working on a large body of work including 1,000 images. I draw with India ink on canvas using scientific eyedroppers and work with oil paint, sometimes using both! To learn more about this work visit my website at www.amycernyvasterling.com


"Have fun! My motto is 'Come and open yourself to a world, which in truth is all yours!'"

Can you give some suggestions for someone wanting to develop and work with their intuition?

Yes! My top suggestions are:
1) Ask a question! Before you go to sleep in those few moments when you are relaxed see if you can see, hear, sense, feel or smell something. If yes, ask about what it is and why it's showing up. If nothing, try again tomorrow night and so on. 
(Please note, I've been reading for years and it is subtle information that comes up for me, I can't see "it all" and I am no better at it than you. The difference is I committed to looking because I am a super curious person! I kept asking questions to the universe and they'd show up in a conversation or article in a magazine or another way for myself and I’d see them directly for others. I've read for hundreds of people and this experience has taught me the most. I say to my clients, "In 10 years the reader I'll be." Meaning we all start somewhere and 10 years ago I was in a totally different place so start somewhere, anywhere!)

2) Be CURIOUS! All energy is good energy. If you are afraid of evil, you probably are not to be entering this arena! Why? Because you are setting yourself up to fail based on what others say in place of what you have experienced. If you are going to jump into reading based on the ideas of others, stop. How YOU read energy likens to whom you are and how you operate not how others operate. The best thing to do is learn on your own without influence. Now, I know this is not for everybody but I see a lot of drama around reading. I've seen a lot of things and I can tell you this, I've met energies that were ready to take me down but instead of getting scared, I allowed, trusted and asked them what they need. What I found was the energy was simply misplaced, displaced or misunderstood. Just like humans! If we are in any of those attributes we will be horrible as an earthling! (Hitler is a prime example, he was misunderstood and this is what made him become so controlling, angry and destructive.) So I meet the energy to see if I can help. Most times I figured it out. Except when there are tricksters I call their bluff, roll my eyes and tell them to go away and they do.

3) Have fun! My motto is "Come and open yourself to a world, which in truth is all yours!"

4) Ask to read for people, start your process and trust yourself. After you read for them, say to yourself, within 1 year they'll come back to me and let me know how the reading served them. It helps to have validation.

5) I've spoken to dogs, moved ghosts to the other side, gotten confessions from them and from murders still living. I've found there is nothing, which has come up that I couldn't do. I am able to read as a medium but I do not do it unless it is a murder, suicide or accidental death because my belief system does not align with me connecting you to your loved ones and Its not my sweet spot. Be true to you! Do what feels super easy, interesting and fun! This is what will make you unique. Then once you gain confidence, try other things. I am serious when I say a man approached me and said, "Can you talk to dogs." I said "No" Then I started spouting out what the dog wanted to tell him. He confirmed with me right there what I was saying was accurate. I gave him tools he could not see. I could talk to animals and I never knew it. Open up, you never know what skill you have in your back pocket.

6) Being highly psychic or intuitive does not make you special. I live a normal human life within my amazing family. I am married, have kids and am by most accounts a normal human being. Everything I've learned is self-taught. Public speaking, self-taught. Reading, self-taught. Creating classes & teaching, self-taught. You get the picture. I teach intuition so you learn it from you.

Thank you so much, Amy, for sharing your knowledge and experience with us!

Letting Go



I recently got a few more card decks (I love so many of them!) And decided to do a card spread for the readers of this blog.  The deck I'm using this time is Melanie Beattie's "The Language of Letting Go".


So with the card all the way to the left being #1, and all the way to the right being #4, which card(s) see to draw your attention?

Take a couple deep breaths and look closely at the pictures on each card.  How does each make you feel?  Do any really draw you in or make you curious?  

Here's what each card is about.

#1 Enjoying Life-
Today I will do something just for the fun of it.  I will find something to do that's just for me, and I won't worry about what I "should" be doing.  I will learn how to make myself feel good and enjoy life to the fullest.

#2 Releasing Anger Toward Family Members-
Today I will accept the potent emotions I may feel toward members of my family, and I'll be grateful for the lessons they're teaching me.  I accept the golden light of healing that's shining on all of us.

#3 Taking Risks-
Today I will ask God to help me begin to take healthy risks.  I will ask for assistance in letting go of any fear of failure...and success.  I will ask for help in fully living my life so that I can start experiencing all the wonderful parts of my journey.

#4 Showing Vulnerability-

Today I will disclose who I am to someone with whom I feel safe.  I will risk being vulnerable-even though I've always held back from doing so.  God, help me show people who I really am, and not who I think they want me to be.  


Let go of something you're afraid of, something that holds you back.  Feel how freeing that is, how much lighter you feel!  It isn't always easy to let go.  Sometimes we need to do that, though, in order to be who we are truly supposed to be.  Remember, if we do not first love, respect, and care for ourselves, how can we do this for others?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I went to  a holistic expo this past Saturday.  A few of us from the spiritual group I belong to had a table there to promote our spiritual community, and also do a few readings.  It was a great day!  It was awesome to see some of the wonderful people I always see at those.  I also got a couple readings done for myself, and found out the names of my 2 angels that have been with me since my physical birth, and will be with me until my physical death.  Of course, one of them has quite a sense of humor (best way I can describe it) so he keeps things fun.  I wouldn't have it any other way!  I knew who my guides were, but now I have names also for those angels.

It's In The Cards

I feel guided to do something a little different this time.  I've been doing some card readings for myself recently-some with angel cards, some with angel tarot cards.  I don't really connect that well with regular tarot cards yet, but I'm working on that.  Anyway, I got this new deck of oracle cards and I think it's pretty cool, so I thought I'd post a mini reading here.

Which card draws your attention, #1, #2, or #3?

 
 
As you look at the cards, see what your intuition draws you to.  Does one catch your eye right away?  Do you feel energy coming from a particular card?  Even though they all look the same in this picture, each one has a different energy.  Have you decided?  OK, here's the reveal.
 
 
 
#1 Transient Guide-This type of spirit guide enters your life on special assignment and usually only stays until they are no longer needed.  To have this card means that you have special guidance through a life challenge and to remind you that someone above is definitely there helping you through it.
 
#2 Creative Vision-Your mind is extra sharp and creative at this time and you can see the future more clearly now. This is a good time for new goals and projects and finishing anything that has been put off.  Thinking outside the box will be necessary to remove an obstacle so that you can continue forward to meet your goals.
 
#3 Progression-Something needs to complete and be put behind you in order to move forward successfully. The outcome will bring personal growth, healing and empowerment.  You might need to change your pattern of organized chaos in life in order to fully realize positive change.
 
 
 
 
I very well could have done this reading for myself!  I didn't have doing that in mind when I picked the cards, but it all certainly applies for me.  I'm in the process of going through over 20 years of "stuff" I've accumulated living in my house, as I'm getting ready to put it up for sale in preparation for my move out west.  It's a very big life change/challenge for me and truly, until I can complete this, I can't move forward. 
 
I hope you enjoyed the cards.  Life's an adventure!  If you are interested in having a card reading done, I am still what I call "practicing" so am not charging for readings at this time.  You may email me and I'll be happy to do a reading for you.
