What is Intuition?
Intuition has become synonymous with the term psychic.
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. My sole intention in engaging in my psychic 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 your "intuition", and, it can come to you in different ways.
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. These experiences being found when one has reached a certain level of attention or clarity 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 non-violent 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 healing and powerful to have a healer "listen" and help you identify what is going on inside, when you are ready!
What are we talking about?
On the Services page of this website, you may have read: 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 your body. A fun example of this is in a Reiki Treatment when a client's knee was talking about going to a Dodger's game. When I shared this with the client, she laughed and said that was exactly her plan for the rest of the day.
Another fun example was a client's head full of a list , breakfast memories, something she needed to get in the mail, the day's activities. One of the items on the list was a beautiful doorway into an issue which needed attention and healing. All messages are given to us to help with whatever issue is present in a client's life.
Some brief examples of how I hear common human experiences in a session:
Left Hip talking about a deep sadness related to the client's mother
Right hand talking about the fear of being wrong, or being punished
Heart, talking about being closed down, 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.
You can see how these are are wonderful windows in, and only in order to help heal and integrate the related issues.

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 that client.

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" and the guides and higher selves of others.
Channeling is another word we toss around. My very talented architect sister and I were having a conversation about channeling and I believe we came up with the best way to define it. Channeling is a word we use when we hear another voice, other than ALL the regular internal voices that belong to our psyche, our ego, our id, our internal critic. There are many of these voices. The voice that brings comfort, support, even rescue, more likely is your higher self. The part of you that is full of knowledge beyond what you have read or studied or even imagined. It is still you! It is your higher part, your Divine self, your Wise self! Some people channel clearly their higher self and give it a name. You can channel your guides. You can channel other energies and entities outside of yourself but your best channeling is that of your own higher self.
Your inner wisdom, your intuition, your knowing is exactly what channeling truly is. You hear, see, feel information that you just "know" is useful. Your entire body resonates with the feeling of truth. There is simply no reason to channel anything that feels otherwise. Most of the time that sort of negative information is an emotional voice of our own, our ego, our fears, our worries, things of that nature.
Sometimes we can channel another voice, such as 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.

I feel very blessed to have the ability to do these things, they do not seem strange to me, only wonderful tools that I have the great joy to use in helping others and myself. I was happy to "see" in a dream what grade I was getting after a math test in eight grade (math stressed me out!) and I am now happy to see, hear, feel and know useful life changing information for clients. 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 and heal. As far as I can tell...it's what we're here for!
