Divinity Cards: We all have the ability to connect
with our higher guidance, be it our Team Spirit or
our own intuition and higher self’s knowing. In fact,
no one is more tuned in to you and your spirits, than
YOU! All we have to do is believe in ourselves and
our ability to communicate with our Angels, spirits
and guides. Card readings can be incredibly helpful
to get a clear read on a situation or question you may
have for yourself or others. Choose a deck that speaks
to you and you will be amazed at the accuracy and
guidance that arrives when we need it most.
Mala Beads: Malas, or Buddhist prayer beads, are a
traditional tool used to count the number of times
a mantra is recited while meditating. Malas are
typically made with 18, 27, 54 or 108 beads. The
material used to make the beads can vary according
to the purpose of the mantras used or the intention
for the malas. Set an intention before purchasing a
set of malas, and then research which stones
best represent that intention. Mala beads can b
e purchased at any Tibetan gift shop, where
employees should be able to help you find a stone
that is best suited for your intention. While Malas
were originally intended for meditation, they can
also be worn or used for a specific purpose. They
offer us a wearable reflection of something sacred
in our own life, and a reminder to remain present
and aware of our intention.
Crystals: Different crystals are known to possess
different vibrational energy and powers. I like to
place crystals – especially Clear Quartz – on my altar,
or throughout my house and office. It was once only
an intuitive belief that Clear Quartz held psychic and
healing powers, a belief that modern measuring
equipment has since proved to be correct. Quartz is
called the master stone because it strengthens all of
your energies in a very broad spectrum sort of way.
In order to use a quartz crystal to strengthen your
energies, all you have to do is keep it with you, or
keep it close to where you spend time, such as your
bedroom, office, or an altar. You don’t need to do
anything special to the crystal in order to experience
its benefits. I encourage you to research the various
healing and energetic qualities of different crystals,
in order to find one that is best suited for your needs.
Smudge Spray: There are many ways to clear the
negative energy around you and one of my favorite
practices is the ritual of “smudging.” This involves
burning sage leaves that create a powerful smoke
in the air, but burning this strong smelling herb
isn’t always practical or allowed. A more practical
practice to clear the air is to use smudge spray.
There are several great brands available that
combine essential oils, sea salts, and other herbs
#rrlivingwell
such as sage. Some brands also claim to include
holy water that has been blessed. Start spraying
while walking around your office and living space or
hold it over and around your body and spray away.
As you do, set the intention inwardly to yourself or
aloud to release any toxic energy you or the space
you are in has absorbed. You might also ask your
spirit guides to remove any and all darkness, nega-
tivity and fear from the space around you. There are
many scents available, so be sure to select one that
smells good to you, and lifts your spirit.
Candles: I liken the flame of a candle with the
radiant light within each of us that energetically
connects us with the higher energies of the unseen
world and with everyone around us in the physical
world. In addition to meditating on candle light to
symbolically light you up from the inside out, you
can use this spiritual tool in the following ways:
Connect With Spirit
Spirits often encourage me to light candles to draw
them in, as the high vibrational frequency of the
flame is easily recognized by them. Light attracts
light, as like attracts like. I always light a white
protection and healing candle before I do group
readings and I set the intention for the room to be
filled with pure, positive energy where I solely make
connections with loving spirits.
In Meditation
I almost-always start my meditations by lighting
a candle and offering a prayer of gratitude for the
presence of Spirit to protect me. I then meditate on
the flame for a few minutes, setting the intention
to draw the light into my body and ignite my own,
internal flame. I visualize this light growing and
expanding and filling me with love and light. I then
close my eyes and go deeper into my meditation,
inviting intuitive guidance and messages from
Spirit into my consciousness. When I feel that my
meditation is complete, I open my eyes and blow
out the flame. This final action seals the deal, so to
speak and I move forward with my day.
Manifesting
Another use for candles is for manifesting a desired
outcome. This is also referred to as simple ‘candle
magic’ or ‘candle burning.’ The basic principles are
to visualize an outcome that you desire and then
hyper-focus your intention for that outcome on
the burning flame of the candle. This form of
manifesting can be used for protection, overcoming
bad habits, attracting people or personal objects
into your life, repairing health, developing a stronger
connection to your deceased loved ones, on and
on. Before lighting a candle, I like to write out my
intention for what I hope to most manifest in my life
and then once the candle is lit, I speak my intention
out loud. After that, I let the candle be and trust that
the power of my intention will seek out what I most
desire and deliver it to me. Whatever your intention
is for burning candles, you must believe in the power
of your intention for it to manifest into your life.
Only then, will it work.
Essential Oils: Essential oils are essences derived
from various plants. They can be used to beautify,
purify, and stimulate/calm your environment,
raise your vibration and enhance your psychic
experiences. There are many ways to use essential
oils: put them in your bath, rub them on candles,
use them in a diffuser, or simply inhale them from
the bottle. There are various grades of essential
oil qualities, so do some research before making a
purchase, and decide if this is a factor for you. A few
of my favorite essential oils and their uses include:
Rose: Cleansing, healing, balancing, protective.
Opens heart chakra.
Lavender: Integrating, balancing, healing,
protective, purifying. Opens third-eye chakra.
Rosemary: Protective, cleansing, psychic
stimulant. Dispels negativity. Opens heart chakra
and third-eye chakra.
Intention Boards: I have a tradition where at the
start of any new phase, like a new year or major
transition, I create a vision board. I sit down with a
stack of magazines and cut out pictures, phrases
and words that capture the feeling and intention of
the things I want to manifest during the new phase.
I then paste them down on poster board and hang it
in my meditation space where I meditate on it daily.
It serves as a collage of my hopes, dreams and goals
that I intend to bring into my physical experience in
the near future. There are a number of ways to bring
your truth into your sacred space for daily inspiration,
even if creating a vision board isn’t for you.
In my office, I have this personalized poster from
Gloment that serves as a constant reminder of my
truth. My office kitchen is also supplied with coffee
mugs that have positive affirmations painted
on them.

Our departed loved ones and guides use a special
“sign language” to let us know when they are
around. Some of these universal signs will be
applicable over your lifetime, while other signs may
pertain only to a certain period in your life, or to a
particular spirit or guide, and they may change as
you do.
Setting the intention to be open to the signs is your
best strategy for noticing them. While they may feel
small and easy to dismiss at first, when focused on,
acknowledged and by continuing to ask for them,
signs from the Other Side often increase in
frequency and size.
There are endless numbers of signs (for a more
extensive list see my book Spirited), below are a list
of the top fifteen which spirits use to validate or
answer a question you may have asked, or to simply
remind you that you are guided from beyond and
never alone.
Numbers: Do you have a favorite number or number
sequence? Spirit will often use number patterns
that hold meaning for you to attempt contact. Be on
the look out (but don’t look for) repetitive number
sequences and number sequences that hold special
meaning to you or a departed loved one such
as birth dates, death dates, anniversary dates, or
“lucky” numbers. I’ve built a whole sign language
of numbers with my guides and by using Doreen
Virtue’s book, Angel Numbers as a reference guide.
Every day, I notice number signs via license plates,
vanity tags, page numbers, street addresses,
receipt totals and times on the clock.
Feathers: Feathers of any color are a beautiful
reminder that your departed loved ones, guides and
angels are near, loving and supporting you from
beyond. When you find feathers in unusual places,
consider this as a powerful angelic sign. White
feathers are almost always a sign from your
guardian angel.
Coins: Spirit can inspire coins to appear in random
and unusual places as a way to get our attention—
often as a message of prosperity. Because coins,
especially pennies, are often found lying around
in the home, at the bottom of your purse, or in
the subway station, it may be hard to distinguish
between spiritual intervention and chance
circumstance. So, pay attention to patterns and
specific coins that consistently reappear. Does the
date on the coin hold any meaning for you? Have
you asked for financial help from your guides? The
words, In God We Trust, can be a reminder to have
faith and trust along your path. When you find a
coin know that it was deliberately placed on your
path, and is a symbol illustrating you’re loved,
supported and guided.
Music: Your departed loved ones and
guides may communicate with you
through a song that reminds you of
them at the exact time you are
thinking about them. They may
also try and get your attention
through recurring songs,
that hold significant
meaning to you,
or a series
of songs with a resounding theme or message that
you need to hear.
Synchronicities: When you experience a series of
“coincidences” or synchronicities, it means you are
on the right track and being divinely guided and
supported.
Angel Bumps: Spirits often reach out to you, very
subtly and impress you with a sense of love by
brushing your arm or neck, or by gently placing their
hands on your back or shoulders. This is often re-
ferred to as getting the chills, or angel bumps. If you
sense a presence in the room with you, sitting next
to you or watching over you, consider this a sign that
a loving spirit is surrounding and protecting you.
Children: Have you ever noticed that kids can say
the most insightful—wise beyond their years—
kinds of things at just the right time? Young children
often serve as messengers for our departed loved
ones and guides. Spirits have an easier time
connecting with children because they’re more
fully in the present moment, free of judgment
and doubt.
Animals: Animals often pick up on spirit energy,
mainly because they’re highly sensitive creatures.
When your pet looks like they’re watching an
invisible fly move around the room; when they
whimper or growl in a particular direction and at
nothing in particular; when they act as if they’re
playing with someone, running in circles, jumping
all over the place, or swatting the air—they may
be recognizing spirits. Sure, a lot of times animals
just behave this way. But when unusual behavior is
accompanied by our intuitive feeling that there’s
energy in the room with us, it’s very possible your
departed loved ones or guides are communicating
with your pet as a means to get your attention.
Scents: Have you ever had a strong sense of smell,
an odor or fragrance wafting around you, with no
indication of where it was coming from? This could
be a departed loved one manifesting a specific
scent that you associated with them in life to let you
know they are still with you; it could be a perfume,
cologne, cigarette odor, the smell of specific foods
or any other distinguishable and unique scent.
Formations in the Sky: Rainbows are a common
symbol of Divine love. They also represent the Other
Side in my sign language with my guides. When you
ask for angelic assistance and shortly after a rainbow
appears, know your prayers have been heard and are
being answered. Clouds may take on recognizable
shapes or images such as angels, wings, faces, etc.
Signs: Sometimes the departed and your guides
will use literal signs to capture your attention.
These “signs,” on billboards, license plates, street #rrlivingwell
names, shop signs and flyers generally address a
specific question we want an answer to. Signage is
everywhere so it’s up to us to discern the difference
between messages that are inspired or uninspired.
Sparks or flashes of light: The departed and
higher enlightened beings are made of light, there-
fore it’s common to see them in their natural state.
Orbs, unexplained shimmers of light or flashes of
color out of the corner of your eye, are all common
ways of experiencing the presence of Spirit around
you. When I see sparks of light to the side and
slightly above my client, this is my tip off that I’m
communicating with his or her spirit guide, and
the brighter the spirit, the older and highly evolved
and enlightened.
Electricity (lights, electronics, technology,
appliances): It’s easy for spirit to manipulate
electricity and cross wires, so to speak, because
both of these forms of energy vibrate at a higher
frequency and are highly charged. Look for lights
flickering in the house, light bulbs blowing out,
disturbance with television sets, radios, appliances
and computers. Spirits often communicate that
they don’t mean to frustrate us by messing with
our electronic devices; they are simply trying to get
our attention.
Dreams: Spirits like to communicate with us in this
altered state because our minds are more open.
When we’re visited by the departed and our guides
in our dreams, we’re often left with vivid and lasting
impressions that make us feel more peace and
reassurance that we are supported from beyond.
Before you drift off, invite your team spirit to join
you in your dreams and see what happens!
Wings: Spirits love to manipulate winged creatures
such as butterflies, birds, hummingbirds, dragonflies,
ladybugs, flies and bees. Spirit will inspire these
creatures to fly around and land on us to get our
attention and inspire us with the feeling that we are
guided and supported
from beyond.
