intuition 101 + prepping for a medium reading
Updated: Nov 9, 2022
THE PULSE: OMFG! This Lunar Eclipse Energy is REALTODAY'S FULL MOON + TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE
While the energy has been building, today is the day that sets things in motion for an intense week -- and several weeks ahead. In the wee hours of the morning we will experience the Total Blood Moon Lunar Eclipse which also aligns with November's Full Moon in Taurus.
According to every astrologer and intuitive we've talked to or read their forecasts, the energy is literally just off the charts.
This week you will bring clarity in your life -- which may come in the form of breakdowns or breakthroughs. Ultimately all "breakdowns" are breakthroughs. News, personally or collectively, may feel like it comes out of literally nowhere. Expect the unexpected. It's a time of endings and new beginnings. Embrace the knowing that it's all leading you exactly where you're supposed to go.
We're looking whatever comes our way, as the Universe pushing us in the right direction for US -- even if it feels uncomfortable. Discomfort is growth -- and we came into this lifetime to grow. This week, and over the next few weeks it's all about reconnecting with the YOU inside of YOU. You can always count on YOU. You are transforming into more of you who are.
Astrologer Molly McCord captures the energy beautifully in several of her @moxiemolly11astrology posts this week. She says, "you deserve a life worthy of your biggest dreams." (YES!) "But do you hold a stable frequency across all of your energy fields that embraces this level of manifestation? There must be a solid foundation of self-worth and a deep connection with your innate power to hold and stabilize the higher frequency." She alerts us that messages may come through vivid dreams (set your intention to remember your dreams before you go to sleep), and inspired thoughts aka intuition (see below!). Keep this in mind!
We're all in this together. And you hold so much power within yourself. (Our Downloads validate all of this as well!)
LATEST EPISODE
Fittingly our podcast this week with Psychic Medium + Spiritual Teacher Nelly Reznik is all about recognizing and developing your intuition. Now is the time to tap into your innate ability!
We are giving you a giant hug as we navigate this cray cray week! THE PODCAST: Intuition 101 + Prepping For A Psychic/Medium Reading
This week’s podcast is not only captivating, it’s also practical. We caught up with the whip-smart and tremendously gifted Psychic Medium and Spiritual Teacher, Nelly Reznik. While we've talked to many intuitives and mediums, we've never really discussed intuition in this much depth before. If you haven’t paid attention to your intuition or don’t quite know what it is, you won’t want to miss this discussion. Our conversation with Nelly offered enlightening insights on how using your intuition can even be a “gateway” to opening up your medium and psychic abilities. And if you’re not ready for that yet, we discuss how to know you’re ready for a reading with a medium or psychic. And, we give you all of the details on what to expect from a reading and how to prep! Here are just a few highlights from our powerful chat. Robyn + Karen: So many people have told us that they want to know how to develop their intuition, but they aren’t quite sure what it is or what that feels like. How do you define intuition? Nelly: Intuition is the ability to know or understand things without logical reasoning behind it. It's a feeling, but not in the same way that we usually think about our feelings. It's not attached to anything or an outcome. It comes in a flash and then it goes away and you can't get it back. And most often it’s not connected to a specific emotion. It’s like you get a hit in your mind to go one way or the other, or do something, and you don't know where it comes from. R+K: Some might say that intuition is the gateway to being a Spiritual Medium. And that the more you honor that instinctive feeling, the more you can grow and develop your intuitive senses. Do you agree? Nelly: I would say yes. I often hear of intuition spoken about as though it's part of a hierarchy. Like first you are an Intuitive, then you evolve to Psychic and then you go to Mediumship. I don't think one is better than any of the others. I use intuition all the time in my Mediumship readings. Mediumship is the ability to talk to the dead and is somewhat more advanced, but only in terms of how you use your skill and responsibility around it. Psychic means being able to tune into the physical environment and getting specific information on the past, present or future. It's also an ability that requires you to listen inwardly and outwardly. To honor that, to follow the thread and let it lead you to the things you need to know. That also requires using intuition. R+K: Nelly you do such a great job helping to prep your clients before they come and have a session with you. Which leads to the question of who should and who shouldn't have a reading. How do you know if you are ready? Nelly: This one's a little bit tricky because everyone has different needs. I would say for the most part, if you've just lost somebody, and it's so recent that you're still in shock and not having accepted it yet, I won't say don't get a reading, but just be honest with yourself on whether or not you're really ready because there's just no bypassing the grieving process. There's always exceptions. But you don't want to go get a reading, and then get into a loop of getting addicted to them. That can be very damaging. Just be honest with yourself. The other thing is and this is especially for people who are looking for a psychic connection: You need to ask, “what are you doing with yourself? Have you taken action in your life? Do you know at least a little bit of why you are here [in this life]?” You wouldn't go to a doctor for a checkup and then leave mad because he didn't find anything. It's having real intention. And not expecting that the psychic or medium will solve everything for you, because that's not how it works. You're going to get what you put into it. So if you're going because you want proof that psychic ability is real or that mediumship is real, you're probably gonna be disappointed. Check out Nelly’s recommendations on evaluating if a reading is right for you. R+K: Thank you Nelly! You are such a treasure trove of guidance, wisdom and truth! We hope that you have a better understanding of your own intuition, as well as what to expect from these types of readings.

SECRET POWER: Developing Your Intuition
Feeling inspired to tap into your own intuition? According to Nelly, we all have intuitive abilities, but we have to practice them! Nelly shares a few easy ways to start developing your intuition-sensing practice.
Pay attention. Intuition will often come in a way that's out of the blue and unexpected. You won’t necessarily have an emotional attachment to it. It will just be a knowing. Start to really pay attention. Catch yourself in those moments when the feeling did validate itself. Log these moments.
Start simple. Play games with yourself. Ask questions like, which train is going to come next? Which elevator is going to come first? What color is this person going to be wearing today? You don't wanna start with, “Should I go to grad school or should I have a child?” Start without any connection to the outcome and then see how often you can predict an outcome.
Experiment with your daily routine. It can be fun to try using your intuition to help guide your everyday experiences. For example, when you are out driving, ask yourself, which way should I go today? Right or left? Release the attachment and expectations and “go with your gut” to see what happens along the way. Maybe you’ll find a new restaurant or shop, or avoid a traffic accident, or meet a friend along the way.
Follow your inspiration. Intuition can be a helpful tool for feeling out the vibe of our fellow humans. It can be a person you know, a stranger or even a crowd. If you are drawn to speak to someone you haven’t met, feel the emotions of someone sitting next to you or even feel inspired to call or email a friend you haven’t spoken to in a while, follow the impulse and see what happens. It may be your intuition speaking to you.
THE DOWNLOAD: You’ve Got the Power
Remember that epic quote from the movie Field of Dreams: "If you build it, they will come?” This week's download seems to echo that same promise of something coming. Something bigger than you, that you just can’t quite see…yet.
The theme is about foundational change and transformation. Step into the “realness” of who you are and stand in your truth. Claim the power that is yours -- your birthright for making the leap to embark on this human journey.
Whatever you may be feeling this week, align yourself only with the energy that feeds and fuels you. Remember who you really are. You are an infinite soul crusader of love. Push forward towards the light and rise!

We are with you during this time of great change. There is a shift in how we are all living that will be impacted starting this week. You will feel it and it is for your greatest evolution as a soul. Walk to it and through it with confidence. You are exactly where you need to be at this very moment. You chose to be here. You chose to be a part of this transformative time. It may not make sense at first, but it will be revealed. You have everything needed to get through this time. You will feel this personally and collectively. Stand in your knowing and be open to the lessons coming your way.
Approach yourself and others with kindness. It is important to remember this. You are an energetic being, remember that as well. Your frequency can be felt and you have the power to attract like frequencies. So take a pulse on where you are at. What frequencies are coming your way? What frequencies do you need to support you during this time of change and uncertainty? Where can you be the foundation for yourself? What areas in your life are you rock solid? How can you be the foundation for others in those areas?
There are exploding energies right now where you will feel like you are up and down, and up and down. Having this foundation is paramount in order to navigate this time. Anchor in where you can and know you are exactly where you need to be. We’re repeating that on purpose because you may question that.
Look around you. Who is around you? How do they make you feel? For those that don’t feel energetically aligned — what steps can you take to create boundaries and shift away from their energy? You can do so with kindness, but also assertiveness. It is your right. You have the ability to move and change and trust your intuition. You are not stuck in any one thing. That is an illusion. Energy moves — therefore you can move the situation.
You may feel like you are at the end of a marathon. You are and a new training and race will begin, but you can reap the rewards of what you have accomplished so far. You have earned this change and transformation. You may be tired from the run, but you will be re-energized and ready to take on whatever is coming your way this week. We know that with 100% confidence.
Trust yourself. We believe in you. We love you. Find the others that feel your frequency. Lock arms and move forward together. You have souls that are on the journey with y
ou — they are there to help and you are there to transform together.

You are the corners
tone
of everything there is, was and ever will be
because you are infinite.
When you are feeling lost in the w
orld or cannot find your purpose
Reground in your breath
The essence of you human-ness
It is where you can remember why you are here.
When you were born it became your first act of claiming yourself
Your integration of life and soul.
Remember its power
and simplicity.
As you fill your lungs and infuse your blood with oxygen
Recalibrate and renew.
Re-engage your consciousness to remember
Invite those false, subconscious limitations to bubble up
So you might lovingly smooth them away.
Feel your strength as y
ou summon all the life-force within you
To comply with every wish and every desire
For they are yours to command
You are so vital, so competent, so deserving of all you ask and more.
Step into the light of manifestation
Knowing fully that you are queen of your domain
All must acquiesce to your will
Because you are effervescent energy
That commands universal flow.
Watch what happens when you sit on this golden throne of wonder
When you see the world as your kingdom
Your birthright for coming into the world
And your playground for creating all that you deserve.
You are a royal goddess
With magical powers
And all-knowing strength
Ready to conquer the darkness and any stones in your path.
The heroine ready to lead the battle
Against fear
For those needing hope and healing
Raising the flag of peace, ready to fight for it all.
Step into the light and it is yours.
Rise.
