The Sober Witch Life Sunshine’s Guide to a Mystical Recovery: Season 2 Episode 11 Trusting Your Psychic Intuition for Personal Growth

Good morning. Good morning. Good morning, my dear friends, and welcome back to. So witch life Sunshines guide to a magical recovery, I’m excited to be here again, it’s been a couple of weeks, because I was supposed to be on a beautiful retreat out in Maine and seeing some of my very dear and lovely witchy friends and I got COVID. But I’m better to feel much better, still a little bit lingering, which is to be expected. I’ve got asthma, I’ve got lung issues. Yeah, yada, yada, yada. But I’m back. And that means we’re back here, once again, trying to bring these to you weekly. But, we’re gonna let the universe guide me.

So that’s been what we’re talking about today. Literally letting the universe guide us letting our psychic abilities guide us embracing these abilities to guide us along our road to recovery. As always, I’m gonna start with a little bit of a story. I was I was about three months sober. This was probably about it was right around Christmas time. I know that because it was literally between Christmas and New Year’s it was an a meeting between Christmas and New Year’s because it was a packed meeting, there was a lot of people there was, I don’t even know, I have no clue at this particular point. But it was a lot. And it had been the second meeting at this particular location that week that I’d been to, and sitting at tables with some of the same folks. And I was just realizing that I was feeling a little bit strange and awkward again. Because once again, we’re in Christmas.

So people are talking about Christmas, and they’re talking about the holidays. And it’s very much focused on you know, it’s a religious based practice, you know, it’s a religious based practice. And, you know, this the whole holiday the whole season is because of a religion. And it was just strange, because I was listening to a lot of people talk, this is actually the time framework. I tested the waters, you know, and I’ve shared this in other other places. But I tested the waters, to see and to ask, you know, if people were going to kind of be tolerant of how I saw my higher power, how I worked with the higher power or anything of that nature. And I hate to use the word higher powers at the table once and somebody called me out on it, but you know, at the end of the day As I was a little bit further out almost at that 90 days, spending a little bit of time because I had some time off, you know, meditating, thinking just being in the moment, I had got a nudge to pick up my tarot cards again.

So I did I’ve never been a regular, like daily or anything of that it was just whatever I needed at that particular point. But I had gotten the nudge, very specific nudge to go out to buy a notebook. And, to start doing a daily poll, you know, just to see what it said, just to see what it said. And it was probably a week after that, we are now just into the new year. We’re just into the new year, and I got a nudge that I should not just be pulling cards for myself. But I should be pulling cards for other people. And it was, it was kind of hard because like I you know, I hand it hard. Because not only was I getting this nudge to like pull cards for other people, I was getting this nudge to do this in like a public space to make an uphill, but like, okay, let’s stop beating around the bush, literally to go live on Facebook was what the and I was just like really, really, really. And at that particular point, a lot of my, my conversation wasn’t the same, I wasn’t actively communicating on a regular basis, I would just get like, little pushes little like validations, you know, little like I have it popped into my head.

And then two days later, somebody would talk about going live, that was like, literally the story. And so I finally I finally just decided to just trust it, I really did, I decided to just trust it. And on January 20 of 2020. We’re talking just over four years ago now, from the recording of this was the birth of Sunshine Readings, I came on to Facebook, figured out how to go and create a business page. And created it was like I even forget the time was like 11:23 or something like that in the afternoon because it was on I think January 20. That year was on Martin Luther King’s birthday. So I was off from corporate. And I did I created it. And from that point forward every week, I think it was on Tuesday evenings, I would go live, and a lot of the audience and a lot of the folks that I connected with have, you know, are familiar, or know me from that. To the point of literally yesterday, at one of my fairs, I had two people come up to people came to my table, right. But it was that point that i i Looking back, you know, there was no formal commitment. But it was at that point that I made the commitment to let my psychic abilities continue to guide me and lead me on my path of recovery.

So today, that’s what we’re talking about, we’re talking about a witch using their psychic abilities to guide them along their spiritual journey, their path of recovery. Right? It is. So, so unbelievably. A strong and intense, I can’t even describe, I don’t even know, that I can put into words, how involved in my recovery that has been leaning into them, strengthening them, using them, practicing them. And as a witch and recovery, there’s a number of things, you could use these to help you make big decisions, changes in relationships, changes in careers changes, maybe even in home, you can use it to make small decisions between like, should I buy a new car or a used car? Should I invest in this program and that program? You can even use it and I do to make day to day decisions like what should I make for dinner? Or is it in my best interest to accept this invitation to lunch?

At the end of the day, when we’re in active addiction when we’re stepping out of it, , it’s not just enough to stay to “stop drinking “or “stop using whatever it is that we’re using”, or doing whatever we’re doing. That’s that addictive behavior. It’s literally you have to start rewiring the way that you operate as a human being. If you don’t do that, the possibility and the probability of a relapse is much higher. I use these abilities all the time. I trust that the universe is always conspiring in my favor. So much so that on my third step prayer- I’d written a third step prayer, the third step days written differently. I haven’t visited in so long. I don’t even remember these the exact words, I don’t want to quote it. But that third step prayer for me even has the words that I remain in the passenger seat, release all control and sit back, just to enjoy life. 

Which begs the question why? Why am I sharing this all with you? Simply put the witches path to recovery includes developing the confidence to follow your own intuition and start that starts with learning how it shows up for you. I hope that you already have a little bit of an idea. But in case you don’t, I will tell you, every single individual’s gifts show up for them differently. Everyone, I have been conducting psychic ability analysis is at shows for two years, I think now, and I couldn’t even I couldn’t even count on both hands and fingers and toes, I think three times how many folks I’ve done this with and every people’s abilities are different, every single ones. So individuals are gonna have stronger clairvoyance, they get guidance and dreams, they may see certain imagery, they may have it, literally shown, some individuals have already talking to their guides, maybe the connection to a deity and ancestor or something, they can already have that conversation. Some folks, a lot of folks are actually falling into these last two, I found a lot, I would actually say, my guides are even said I was about to say 50%, they just pushed me up to 60%. Some have sensitivities in their body, right, and their bodies are always trying to tell them things and some just get downloads that they can’t explain. 

Everyone’s gifts show up differently, it might be a combination, some it may be, you know, just strictly one stronger, whatever it may be. And you may be at the point in your recovery or even considering recovery. Right now, you may be listening to this because you’re sober, curious. And I want I want you to understand, there’s you don’t have to, like go through the other steps, and then get to this like you could this could be what leads you embracing your own psychic abilities, could be what leads you even to a path of recovery. Okay?

So, I really want you to pause for a moment and consider how your, your psychic abilities. How trusting your own intuition, can help guide you into a much more beautiful life. I use my abilities to help me better understand the anxieties I had when I first stepped into recovery. I did a lot of shadow work, right? Where’s this coming from? Where’s this feeling? I would pull cards, right? And I would start to see, even from a meditation perspective, I would sit in meditation and start to kind of ask, and these downloads would come right. I use my abilities to guide me towards the relationships to let go of into as well as those to fight for I let go of a relationship with a friend that I’d had since I was 16. Because I literally could see she was an active addict. I could see she was not pointed to change. That she needed some real drastic rock bottoms. Still in her path before she was going to. I also fought really hard originally for the partner that I had before. The gentleman I’m with now and same thing, he was caught an active addiction. But on the flip side, the gentleman that I’m dating my partner, Dan, at this point, I fought for him. There were a lot of early on. We both brought some baggage that I think made both of us consider running in the beginning, but we didn’t you know, and I use my guides, use my psychic abilities to make sure that I stuck around and thought I will use them to to confirm the next step in my career that those steps that I took, eventually landed me in a promotion with a director’s title, and a pretty substantial pay increase, as well. As a reduction, they allowed me to move down to reduce the hours. I mean, I never could have done it in the previous you know, so it was really beautiful.

And then in other words, any decision that I had any crossroad that I faced any obstacle, any opportunity even I found myself in that first year of recovery, always leaning in and listening, always leaning in and asking always pulling cards just just to see, right. I wanted a life that was filled with more peace, love, happiness, hope, joy and prosperity. And I knew that as a recovering alcoholic I didn’t know exactly how to find that all. So I leaned into my gifts, I leaned into my abilities. And for those of you that do not have that confidence and aren’t like, I can’t just go making all those decisions today, don’t worry, it’s possible to develop. And it’s super simple. You just have to start using it. Just start using it today. Just find something to lean into. Ask your guides, ask the universe, ask whoever it is right? Ask your higher self. Ask the stars Ask the Moon, whatever it is, ask them for an answer and just follow it. That’s how you start to build that confidence.
