Everyday Intuition
I use the term "Everyday Intuition" to promote the practice of tuning in daily.
Most people use their intuition, It is a part of being human. Many do not realize how much they use it!
There are many forms of intuition and each psychic or intuitive will receive information in their own unique manner. I will hear, see and feel things outside of what we define as our three dimensional physical world. It is a challenge to put into words exactly what I experience. More important than how I receive information psychically, is the intention I hold as an intuitive and as a Shamanic practitioner. My sole intention in engaging intuitive/psychic and Shamanic work is to help others create happy healthy lives, and to inspire and teach others to engage in the use of their own intuition.

Practical Definitions and Examples from my Practice: Clairvoyance, Intuitive Listening, Clairsentenience and Clairaudience, Channeling
Clairvoyance is a term from late 17th century France. Clair meaning clear and voyant, meaning seeing. People experience clairvoyance in different ways. Perhaps you feel you "know" what is going to happen, or you "understand" a situation before it occurs, that is an clairvoyant experience. It can be just a notion you may have. You might even call it "a hunch."
Clairvoyants can receive information in visual terms, but we may also receive information as auditory, emotional and kinesthetic. Clairvoyance has historically been related to certain religious and shamanic practices. It has been assigned to the realm of "alternative" healing or practice, which is interesting as it was in practice prior to the many of most popular organized religions and of the world. Hindu religious texts list clairvoyance with other forms of "clear" experiencing through meditation. Saints and High Holy persons of other religions of the world also are known for their ability to "know" truths or outcomes of upcoming events, or they are known to have a powerful understanding of life from what can easily be described as an intuitive place.

Intuitive Listening - I listen to the body on all levels with a compassionate healing intent. I listen without judgment, criticism or agenda, and I help others learn how to do so for themselves. When I listen to a client speak, I am also listening on a more subtle level. There is a great deal of information available via the intuitive channels. The client and I work together to discover what is present, what needs attention, healing and integration. This is a gentle and organic way to help a client work on any core issue that is holding them back from living the life they desire. Part of our human experience is that it is difficult to navigate our internal life, it is very powerful to have a healer "listen" and help you identify the roots of issues.
Listening to Promote Healing and integration of Core Issues
Memory of positive life experiences and serious past traumas are all stored in the body. Past experiences, trauma, relationship difficulties, personal issues all are spoken about by the body. The Science, Psychology and Energy worlds agree on this. No issue is without voice, and most daily issues lead us straight to the oldest issue, the Core Issue. In my work I follow your body's natural way of healing. Energy work, Somatic Psychology (such as Hakomi) and Intuitive work are respectful to you. Only issues on which you are wishing to work will get attention. There are no forced issues, there is nothing but confidential respectful support for you, here at Tree of Life Healing.
What this means for me, as an Intuitive healer, is that I will get messages in the form of words, pictures, stories, emotions, guidance, an other ways. I listen to what your body is saying, the memories and issues stored within.
Some brief examples of Somatic messages from the body in past sessions:
Abdominal pain and tight musculature speaking the words, "I am terrified."
A shoulder spasm saying ,"you will forget me."
Numb feet speaking the message of not feeling connected to family.
A migraine area saying, "I need to be alone, I can not meet everyone's needs."
A lower back full of sadness.
A left Hip talking about a deep sadness related to the client's mother.
The right hand talking about the fear of being wrong, or being punished.
The heart, talking about being afraid, and unable to ask for help.
A client entering my office and I hear the words, "why did he do that?"
Left shoulder sharing a story about being in a yard at around 5 years old and having a traumatic experience.
A left arm talking about how powerless it was to be feminine in the family.
The soles of the feet talking about an old message which said, "You can not stay here."
A certain movement of a muscle in a neck saying, "I am not safe, I must hide."
A body position in which the back communicated, "If I look at you, I will be hurt."
A deep connection between the throat and the body area containing physician diagnosed endometriosis saying that it was dangerous to express needs and wants, especially to the mother, and that being feminine meant being abused.
After the death of a past partner, the surviving partner receiving information about the deceased's hidden mental illness and how it created many difficulties in connection. This giving the surviving partner relief of guilt and long-held emotions of shame and fear. (later, I was told that the former counselor of the deceased corroborated the information further helping the grieving community.)
After the death of her mother, a client receiving information that helped her realize her own need to be independent. (Many messages from those who have passed are meant to help the living, details of the life they had also helps the living family members or partners understand that the essence of their loved one is not gone, just the physical life they had. It does bring healing through comfort.)
In intuitive work, as above, I listen on a deep and subtle level to the messages from the body. In somatic work, which in my practice is Hakomi, the discoveries the client makes through mindful work always come from messages from the body. The body is the vessel which contains all past experience. The body offers what the consciousness has trouble expressing. We use the messages to start a process of unfolding old issues, traumas, negative self-beliefs, and stored emotions. This is the process of healing.
Helping Animals:
A cat who would not use her usual door, let me know she had been scared by the new curtain. The owner removed it and the cat returned to her usual daily use of the door.
In watching a video of a saddlebred I heard that something was wrong with her gait, and indeed she had been given pain killers to hide it.
An elderly dog ready to pass, allowing me to tell his owner that he knew he was her, "one and only," the very words she
had spoken to him on the way to the vet that morning. He also asked for her to hold him, as he was ready to pass. She texted me a bit later that day let me know that he had gone peacefully in her arms.
A Chihuahua who would not stop barking, due to his own fear that if he did not protect his new home he would be sent away.
A draft horse saying the mites in her wood shavings were "an irritation." She felt very sensitive to me, and I reported that she was sensitive her to environment. Her allergy tests came back to prove her allergies to be many.
An indoor cat who sprays saying that the house must smell like him. (Oh, dear, right?!)
A scared dog in a vet waiting room was picking up the fear of her owner. She told me exactly what the owner had been talking about at home prior to the vet visit--that she was terrified that she was going to die. Luckily upon examination she was not fatally ill. The inability of the owner to regulate her fear was impacting the dog severely, understanding this helped the owner greatly.
When working on a feral cat capture project, the mama cat telling me she was in the bushes, and that she wanted to be found. A very unusual message from a feral, indicating she may have been a pet at one time. She now lives in a home! Her kittens as well!

Clairsentience is French is origin, like Clairvoyance. Clair, meaning clear, and sentient, meaning feeling. A clairsentient feels a client's emotions, understands clearly what a person is feeling, has felt, or may feel in the future.
I am able to feel the emotions of the clients and of people close to them. Although I will not read for anyone but the client requesting the reading, I will let my client know how someone is feeling in relation to themselves if it is therapeutically indicated.

Clairaudience is the ability to hear (auditory) information in word form. Channeling is a clairaudient activity, a person will receive messages or information for example, in a healing session. Many healers, myself included, can listen to a body and get messages from trouble spots. I have listened to tumors, to energy blocks, to tense muscles, to areas of the body to help find the cause of the problem. There is always a pathway of recovery and healing, certainly of awareness, available to every body. I listen to my own guides, my "higher Self" or "Double" and the guides and higher selves of others. I hear guides, which is a way to say very generally that I am listening to helpful messages from many sources, sometimes messages from those who have passed, sometimes higher wisdom from a client's ancestry, sometimes figures from a client's belief system, or a pet, among other sources.
Channeling is a word we use to describe when we hear another voice, other than ALL the regular internal voices that belong to our psyche, our ego, our id, our internal critic. The voice that brings comfort, support, even rescue, more likely is your higher self. This is the part of you that is full of knowledge beyond what you have read or studied or even imagined. It is your Divine self, your Wise self.
Your inner wisdom, your intuition, your knowing can be called channeling. You hear, see, feel information that you just "know" is useful. Your entire body resonates with the feeling of truth. it is good to learn how to discern between voices of guidance and emotional voices of our own, our ego, our fears, our worries, things of that nature.
Sometimes we can channel a guide or helper, a past relative or friend. But it is likely that your best action in this lifetime is to channel your wiser self, and allow your life to be informed and led by your own higher self. If you need to talk to anyone who as passed on, or wish to connect with a guide, or understand something outside of your own perception, that's when you can contact someone like me, who cultivates those skills in order to serve.

If you have experienced any sort of psychic incident, if you have opened up to your abilities like these, it is fully your choice to use them or not, you are in control, it is your life to live as you wish. Just know, there is nothing wrong with you and there is nothing to fear. There is only good in the ability to help yourself or others. You can learn to be an Everyday Intuitive!
