Most people hear the term channeling and immediately think either fraud or nutcase. Or maybe both. Sometimes they think possession, which is probably the scariest impression.
Channeling, from what I’ve observed, is a way of tapping into deeper insights, whether the person doing the channeling interprets them as being from the Higher Self, a dark but [...]

Aislinn’s latest wedding shoot.

At the beginning of 2010, I paused one night in ritual to think ahead to the next year and what it would bring me. In a moment of clarity, I caught a “whiff” of things to come. Many have come to pass–beautifully–but some, I couldn’t see happening. Two in particular, [...]

Ley Line #2: The River of Life…or…Souls?
Whereas most houseguests don’t notice the first ley line in my house, those of us who live here didn’t really notice the second one—we still don’t—until visitor after visitor pointed it out to us.
I don’t think that this particular ley line has been [...]

I think maybe Barbara Walters owes “dangerous” psychic James Van Praagh an apology, but that’s mostly because—as an empath—I’ve worn Van Praagh’s shoes. I know what it’s like to be ridiculed for sending someone to get medical help.
If you’re not familiar with the inciting incident, [...]

I promised I’d review the Abraham-Hicks products and share my opinions since there don’t seem to be other online reviews that met my own needs for choosing which DVD, book, CD, or download to buy.
If you find this review helpful, see the suggested reviews listed at the bottom of this article.

“I smell Granddaddy!”
She was visibly upset. She’d walked into a room in the house where I grew up, presumably after Grandma’s brownies or see where my mom was, and she’d smelled my dad’s scent heavy in the air. It’s been [...]
A golden moment of intuition. Photo copyright by Lorna Tedder; all rights reserved.
My intuition is strong this week, I suppose. At least, it was while I was at the farm….
I’m barefoot in waist-high grass so thick I can’t see the ground. I can barely walk in it, let alone run. It’s like swimming [...]

Two months ago, I participated in some “spiritual work” with some trusted spiritual leaders who always have an interesting point of view. I very much enjoy these sessions where I am a student rather than a teacher and where I am challenged to see things in a [...]
Originally published in Third Degree Ebb and Flow.
My third workshop for the Florida Pagan Gathering was fairly crowded. I never saw several of the attendees at anything else related to the weekend events. Maybe they were aliens or angels or something just dropping by!
In any case, that was the workshop on building worm holes, Field [...]
The eyes are the windows of the soul, indeed! Yes, her eyes really are that color and those are lichens on the ground in this beautiful natural setting.

Brace yourself. This is going to be controversial. It may make you cry, or it may make you angry, or–if you don’t believe in anything you can’t see–you may roll your eyes. In fact, if you’re not an open-minded person, just go ahead and click away from here now because there’s nothing in what I [...]
A few favorite cards from Raven Grimassi and Stephanie Taylor Grimassi’s The Well-Worn Path deck
I have a lot of friends who read Tarot cards–and every last one of them is pretty good at it! Invariably, when we get together, we somehow end up drooling over the beautiful artwork of the newest deck among us [...]

Can you feel psychic connections across time and space?
As in, can I connect with someone from 2 years ago or from 2 years from now? I don’t know.
I haven’t been able to, at least not much. Or have I just never really thought about what’s also known as energetic [...]

Empathy, empathic abilities, and what I call “energetic connections” (or emotional connections) between people are all about feeling what someone else is feeling. Some of us empaths, or “highly sensitive people,” have these abilities more than others, [...]

Psychic Spying can backfire in the worst sort of way—you can not only alert the person you’re snooping on, but divulge your own deepest, darkest secrets.
Several years ago, I was at a metaphysical festival in Florida where [...]

Whether you call it psychic abilities, clairvoyance, or intuition, most of us have it—a least to some degree. A former circle-mate of mine used to call it “the gift of knowing.” She wasn’t what I would call a gifted psychic, but she did have what she described as [...]

Visiting a psychic can be an incredibly bad thing in terms of the Law of Attraction, even if that psychic is the real deal. Whether it’s for entertainment, spiritual counseling, or just to talk through personal issues, a psychic advisor can help you attract what you want—or what you dread. [...]

I believe in coincidences. And they believe in me.
I don’t believe they happen randomly, so I guess you could say that I don’t believe in them in that sense. Instead, I believe in them as messages and patterns. Or, if you will, gifts from the Gods. They are [...]

If you’re psychic, how much of the story do you really know when you’ve seen only a flash of something? What do you disclose…and what do you interpret through your own filters? Photo of Lorna Tedder by Ais Portraits
Yep, I believe in psychics. Definitely. I’ve had enough of my own otherwise inexplicable coincidences, and several [...]

Super sensitive. That’s what I am. I’m still trying to assimilate the weirdness (thus far) from yesterday’s eclipse, August 5, 2009. I had some strange physical effects, and it felt like the veil between the worlds was thinner than ever yesterday. In fact, I know it was, based on what [...]

I love this photo by Gaimpaolo Macorig (creative commons license) because there are blue skies all around…unless you focus on the more turbulent red that’s just a reflection in the glass.
I grew up in a small Southern Baptist church where the impending end of the world was prophesied every other year. I remember when the planets [...]

There’s an edginess that’s been in the air for the past couple of hours. It’s the kind of feeling you get after a fight with a lover or when a dream just got deferred. I can’t pin it down but it’s been intense. Weighty. It’s nothing new…but I wasn’t [...]

Inexplicably, things suddenly seem shinier than they have in previous years. Given the state of the world at the moment—and the state of my current social trend toward being, well, unsociable after several of my dearest ones had [...]

This is a Powerful Pause. I’ve been paying attention to my intuition for several years now, and sometimes I’m able to step aside and take a look at what I “know” is coming as opposed to what [...]

If you’re looking for a sign, this is it.
How many of us are torn—or think we are—about a direction to take, and so we look for “signs” that will push us in one direction or the other? We already know the answer but either don’t trust our intuition or [...]
