1
00:00:01.120 --> 00:00:04.759
My name is Will and I'm Garrion, and unlike moulderin Scully, both want

2
00:00:04.759 --> 00:00:07.679
to believe. So we've embarked in
a journey of discovery. We've talked to

3
00:00:07.719 --> 00:00:12.080
people deeply entrenched in the spiritual and
metaphysical world. We've thrown ourselves into weird

4
00:00:12.119 --> 00:00:16.440
and wonderful experiences. I even joined
a coven of witches and wait, you

5
00:00:16.559 --> 00:00:20.239
joined a coven yep, all in
the interest of finding something, anything,

6
00:00:20.359 --> 00:00:24.120
that will prove that there's something beyond
this physical, three dimensional world we all

7
00:00:24.160 --> 00:00:37.039
live in. This is the Skeptic
Metaphysicians. This episode of The Skeptic Metaphysicians

8
00:00:37.119 --> 00:00:42.840
was recorded live at the Edgar Casey
Are welcome to new awaken names. With

9
00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:48.240
Edgar Casey's AAR, We're together through
some amazing conversations. Will go through a

10
00:00:48.320 --> 00:00:52.880
journey of discovery that may shape the
way you think or could even change your

11
00:00:52.920 --> 00:00:57.600
life. Our guest today began her
metaphysical journey in twenty fifteen when she became

12
00:00:57.679 --> 00:01:02.719
a suy Reiki master teacher, then
embarked on a multicultural medicine wheel to become

13
00:01:02.719 --> 00:01:06.560
a shamanic practitioner. This is when
her skills really began to develop and she

14
00:01:06.680 --> 00:01:11.560
is now a certified metaphysical practitioner with
a degree from the University of Metaphysics.

15
00:01:11.799 --> 00:01:15.519
And if that wasn't enough, she's
also an ordained minister through the International Metaphysical

16
00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:21.200
Ministry and currently provides coaching and mentoring
to help others in the development of the

17
00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:25.599
gifts. I'm excited because I need
a lot of coaching to develop my gift.

18
00:01:25.719 --> 00:01:30.079
Welcome to the show, Katrina money
Coot, Thank you. They glad

19
00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:33.079
to be here. Now. We
are excited because we need a lot of

20
00:01:33.079 --> 00:01:38.319
helped a lot. So well,
let's give us a little bit about who

21
00:01:38.359 --> 00:01:42.680
you are. We've listed your credentials, okay, but who is Katrina at

22
00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:46.640
the root of it all? So, at the root of it all,

23
00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:52.040
Katrina is a person who is here
to serve. I didn't always have that

24
00:01:52.120 --> 00:01:57.280
mindset, but as I became more
into my spiritual awakening and these gifts that

25
00:01:57.319 --> 00:02:04.480
I have, I realized that my
goal is to be of service to humanity

26
00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:08.159
and to animals and to the earth. So to be of service, that's

27
00:02:08.159 --> 00:02:12.080
what that's who I am. Oh, that's wonderful. Guy said, so

28
00:02:12.280 --> 00:02:15.080
need to these days too, and
how wow. So it's one thing to

29
00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:19.280
have these feelings and know that you
want to help, But what led you

30
00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:22.560
really to reach out to other people
to have that confidence that you can help

31
00:02:22.599 --> 00:02:25.080
them. So for a long time, I did not have that confidence,

32
00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:29.680
even though I had these gifts and
I knew it. That confidence took a

33
00:02:29.719 --> 00:02:35.039
lot of growing. Intuition is a
muscle and you have to practice and develop

34
00:02:35.080 --> 00:02:38.919
it to be able to do some
of the things that I'm able to do

35
00:02:38.039 --> 00:02:44.319
now. For a very long time, I cheat. I treated my business

36
00:02:44.520 --> 00:02:49.400
as a side thing, and I
had a corporate job, and you know,

37
00:02:49.439 --> 00:02:53.800
I was doing the everyday nine to
five and couldn't put the time and

38
00:02:53.960 --> 00:02:58.599
energy into the business to do the
things that I want to do to serve.

39
00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:06.879
So very recently something happened with my
nine to five and I walked away

40
00:03:06.960 --> 00:03:12.000
and in the past three months have
made this my full time opportunity for people.

41
00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:17.000
So when you say made this a
full time opportunity, first two part

42
00:03:17.080 --> 00:03:21.319
question, what okay you talk about
your gifts? What are your gifts besides

43
00:03:21.439 --> 00:03:25.479
reiky healing? And what is it
that you do that you are now doing

44
00:03:25.520 --> 00:03:30.879
full time? Okay, So I
have my own business and my business is

45
00:03:31.080 --> 00:03:35.879
evolving as I go along. Because
it's still a brand new business. But

46
00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:42.759
typically what I have been focusing on
recently is psych mediumship and that has been

47
00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:47.120
through the Memorial Spiritualist Church here in
Norfolk. And then I'm going to be

48
00:03:47.159 --> 00:03:53.039
working with a brand new company that's
starting and they're having a ribbon cutting ceremony

49
00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:58.400
next week, and that's the Light
Body Holistic And these are the ways that

50
00:03:58.479 --> 00:04:04.360
I'm serving right now. I'm acting
as a practitioner with psychic mediumship, I'm

51
00:04:04.360 --> 00:04:10.759
doing some healings and I'm also teaching
classes, so I'm not busy all.

52
00:04:11.159 --> 00:04:15.600
Oh. So I wanted to kind
of get back to when we were introducing

53
00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:21.639
you talking about how you embarked on
a multicultural medicine wheel. What does that

54
00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:30.199
mean? So there is a practice
in indigenous cultures called the medicine wheel,

55
00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:36.160
and what my medicine wheel was,
the Peruvian version of the medicine wheel was

56
00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:43.519
predominant, but the person that I
studied with had pieces of other cultures as

57
00:04:43.519 --> 00:04:47.040
well that she kind of modeled into
that. And the medicine wheel is you

58
00:04:47.079 --> 00:04:51.199
embark on that to find yourself and
you do a lot of shadow work and

59
00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:57.040
you do a lot of healing,
and the modalities that come from that are

60
00:04:57.079 --> 00:05:02.560
really exciting for me because for me, medicine was really really hard because quieting

61
00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:08.759
my mind that doesn't work. You
know, for me, it's always go,

62
00:05:08.759 --> 00:05:13.079
go, go. But in the
modality with the shamanism, there's something

63
00:05:13.079 --> 00:05:17.560
called journeying, and journeying is very
much like meditation, however it's interactive.

64
00:05:18.399 --> 00:05:23.759
So for me that was my key. That was my key to being able

65
00:05:23.839 --> 00:05:27.720
to connect in a way that other
people can with meditation. What do you

66
00:05:27.759 --> 00:05:31.439
mean by interactive? So with the
journey process, the very first thing you

67
00:05:31.519 --> 00:05:36.000
do is you go and you look
for your power animal. You can also

68
00:05:36.040 --> 00:05:40.399
look for spirit guides, but in
the shamanic framework, you look for a

69
00:05:40.399 --> 00:05:45.920
power animal who stays with you through
processes and you identify them and you get

70
00:05:45.959 --> 00:05:47.879
to know them, and you,
just like you would your spirit guides or

71
00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:51.680
anybody that is on your team,
you find that animal and you start to

72
00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:56.600
work with them. So it's not
just sitting there and being quiet. It's

73
00:05:56.720 --> 00:06:00.439
oh, I need to go look
for this and see where and does your

74
00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:03.319
animal change. I mean you heard
about spirit animals, We've heard of animal

75
00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:08.759
totems things like that. Yes,
so your animal changes each journey. Yeah,

76
00:06:08.800 --> 00:06:11.560
not each journey, depending on where
you are in your life and what

77
00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:15.040
you need help with gods. So
there's specific animals for in my framework,

78
00:06:15.079 --> 00:06:19.199
there's specific animals for specific things.
Gotcha. So you don't meet for life

79
00:06:19.439 --> 00:06:27.199
with your spirits some people and they
can come back. So they're just part

80
00:06:27.240 --> 00:06:30.040
of your team and when you finished
with them for the part that you need,

81
00:06:30.040 --> 00:06:34.439
they just step back and sometimes you'll
get them back in a future endeavor

82
00:06:34.480 --> 00:06:38.240
because you needed it for that as
well. That makes a lot of sense

83
00:06:38.279 --> 00:06:43.680
because when I was in a younger
man in Miami days, I got very

84
00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:46.319
interested in shamanic practices and things like
that, and I did do them in

85
00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:50.199
the medicine wheel, and I did
find my spirit animal, and I worked

86
00:06:50.279 --> 00:06:56.360
very closely with my spirit animal,
but then lost touch. And now when

87
00:06:56.360 --> 00:06:58.600
I went back to trying to find
my spirit animal, it was like I

88
00:06:58.639 --> 00:07:01.040
felt no connection there. So that
makes a lot of sense. So how

89
00:07:01.040 --> 00:07:08.759
do you find your spirit animal like
this? I mean you just kind of

90
00:07:08.839 --> 00:07:12.759
go in within an envision the how
does that work? So with the shamanic

91
00:07:12.839 --> 00:07:16.839
journeying, you are usually led by
a drum beat and you travel into what's

92
00:07:16.879 --> 00:07:24.160
called the lower world, and that
signifies your subconscious mind. And once you

93
00:07:24.199 --> 00:07:28.680
get into this lower world, it's
almost if you've ever had a guided meditation

94
00:07:28.759 --> 00:07:32.040
where they tell you see yourself in
a field. Once you get into that

95
00:07:32.079 --> 00:07:35.399
lower world, you can see anything. So you may be standing in a

96
00:07:35.439 --> 00:07:39.959
field, you may be in a
house, you may be somewhere familiar,

97
00:07:40.079 --> 00:07:45.920
or it may be unfamiliar. But
it's a journey instead of a quiet Okay,

98
00:07:46.240 --> 00:07:49.759
Okay, I love that. So
I have a hard time with that,

99
00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:55.720
okay, because for me, the
minute people start telling me, Okay,

100
00:07:55.759 --> 00:07:58.279
you're gonna go to a field,
you're going to encounter something, what

101
00:07:58.480 --> 00:08:03.199
is it? My mind's going like
it can't like now, it's too much

102
00:08:03.240 --> 00:08:07.360
pressure. How do you get beyond
that? So my personal practice in teaching

103
00:08:07.519 --> 00:08:11.560
people to be able to journey,
a lot of what I do is say,

104
00:08:13.600 --> 00:08:18.879
you're going to envision yourself by a
place in nature you're familiar with.

105
00:08:18.279 --> 00:08:22.000
When the drum beat starts, you're
going to go down either through a tree

106
00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:26.920
or waterfall, whichever way is comfortable
for you and intuitive for you. And

107
00:08:26.959 --> 00:08:30.680
once you get down into the lower
world, you're on your own. I

108
00:08:30.720 --> 00:08:35.399
don't tell people what they're going to
see I just say be open to whatever

109
00:08:35.480 --> 00:08:39.559
you see, even if it's a
multicolored unicorn, because there's a significance for

110
00:08:39.639 --> 00:08:46.279
anything that's in that lower world.
I want to see multicloring. That just

111
00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:50.440
sounds beautiful. It does on the
uniform the whole process. So you are

112
00:08:50.519 --> 00:08:54.840
a shamanic practitioner. What is the
difference between a shamanic practitioner and a shaman?

113
00:08:56.600 --> 00:09:01.320
Well, I personally don't consider myself
a shaman because the way that I

114
00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:07.919
understand other cultures, I don't want
to step into that space and say this

115
00:09:09.080 --> 00:09:13.639
is what I am. A Shamanic
practitioner for me means that I take pieces

116
00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:20.679
and make them accessible to other people. But I don't feel that I'm a

117
00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:24.759
shaman because I don't feel like I
was given that that title as so,

118
00:09:24.879 --> 00:09:30.399
no, that you're not appropriating the
title. Using the tools that they provide

119
00:09:30.519 --> 00:09:35.120
to help others to grow and correct, and these were tools that were provided

120
00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:45.440
specifically the Peruvian They were provided to
a gentleman who has come and given us

121
00:09:45.480 --> 00:09:50.600
the opportunity to learn these as well. My understanding is that the Peruvian Shamans

122
00:09:50.919 --> 00:09:58.200
were worried about their culture just dissipating
because all of the young people were leaving,

123
00:09:58.720 --> 00:10:01.120
so they wanted to make sure that
they're culture state passing on their knowledge

124
00:10:01.240 --> 00:10:05.960
to others. That's amazing, Okay, that makes all the difference in the

125
00:10:05.960 --> 00:10:09.879
world, that think, because there's
a lot of feelings about these kinds of

126
00:10:09.879 --> 00:10:13.799
things. When someone calls themselves a
shaman or practitioner, there's a little bit

127
00:10:13.840 --> 00:10:18.559
of a disconnect over a weirdness about
stuff. But if you have the prouvin

128
00:10:18.679 --> 00:10:22.399
gentlemen come and teach you because they
want to pass on their knowledge and their

129
00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:26.559
traditions, that's beautiful and that's wonderful. So then how does someone go about

130
00:10:26.639 --> 00:10:30.320
learning these things? I mean,
was that here locally or did you go

131
00:10:30.399 --> 00:10:33.039
somewhere for them? I did have
a local teacher, she's no longer local,

132
00:10:33.720 --> 00:10:39.279
but I did have someone who again
was well versed. She was actually

133
00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:45.200
part indigenous herself, so she was
well versed in a lot of different things.

134
00:10:45.679 --> 00:10:48.919
And I came together with her and
we just we just clicked. I

135
00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:56.360
did a retreat with her and saw
some of the energy healing modality and for

136
00:10:56.440 --> 00:11:05.919
me when I had the I had
a session with her and for me it

137
00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:09.519
changed my life. That was the
turning point for me and my spiritual awakening

138
00:11:09.679 --> 00:11:15.240
and things just cleared up. Ten
years of therapy didn't touch what that three

139
00:11:15.279 --> 00:11:18.480
hour session did. Wow. Wow. So for me, that was the

140
00:11:18.519 --> 00:11:20.919
turning point. I said, I
need to learn this. Sure. So

141
00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:24.399
now are you are you using what
you learn to help other people in a

142
00:11:26.080 --> 00:11:28.240
sort of therapeutic way as well,
or are you just kind of more focusing

143
00:11:28.320 --> 00:11:33.360
on helping people to develop their spiritual
gifts. So right now I'm more focused

144
00:11:33.399 --> 00:11:39.200
on people helping helping people with their
spiritual gifts. And that's simply because I

145
00:11:39.240 --> 00:11:43.320
don't have a permanent space to be
able to do the work that I want

146
00:11:43.399 --> 00:11:48.000
to do with shamanism and everything else. So once that becomes an option,

147
00:11:48.240 --> 00:11:52.320
I'm sure things will evolve into something
different. But right now I really am

148
00:11:52.360 --> 00:11:58.679
being called to teach about intuition and
to teach people how to reach those places

149
00:11:58.720 --> 00:12:03.159
within themselves and to be able to
pass on messages if that's something they want

150
00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:07.759
to do, or just be able
to use it for their own self.

151
00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:09.879
Well, that's a perfect transition because
we know one of the things we definitely

152
00:12:09.919 --> 00:12:15.679
wanted to talk about was intuition versus
psychic ability. So you just mentioned intuition

153
00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:20.720
and when I think intuition, I
think like that gut feeling, like I'm

154
00:12:20.799 --> 00:12:22.519
feeling like I need to go this
way because I don't know about that play.

155
00:12:22.679 --> 00:12:26.639
So what is the difference between the
two, intuition and psychic ability?

156
00:12:26.799 --> 00:12:31.480
So intuition does develop into psychic abilities. However, intuition, in the way

157
00:12:31.480 --> 00:12:37.399
that I think about it, intuition
is knowing things for yourself, having that

158
00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:39.879
gut feeling and being able to discern
these things for yourself. First, it's

159
00:12:39.879 --> 00:12:43.320
always right gut feeling, is it? Yeah? Okay, yes, absolutely?

160
00:12:43.440 --> 00:12:46.480
And then so then what is psychic
abilities? That is just the growth

161
00:12:46.519 --> 00:12:54.600
of intuition so that you can start
to expand and feel and get messages about

162
00:12:54.679 --> 00:12:58.399
things for other people. That that's
my framework in the way that I think

163
00:12:58.440 --> 00:13:05.240
about it. It's just intuition is
kindergarten and you graduate into having psychic abilities.

164
00:13:05.399 --> 00:13:07.200
God, okay, that makes a
lot of sense. I didn't never

165
00:13:07.240 --> 00:13:11.480
knew the differences between two. So
is it a lot of work to grow

166
00:13:11.519 --> 00:13:18.080
into that? Because no, no, you will not read no anything,

167
00:13:20.399 --> 00:13:26.919
So I will tell you it depends
on the person, and you really do

168
00:13:28.039 --> 00:13:31.120
have to do the work. There's
just no way around it. You can't

169
00:13:31.159 --> 00:13:33.840
just snap your fingers and say okay, I want to be psychic, you

170
00:13:33.840 --> 00:13:39.960
know, and not use those abilities
and learn to hone them and be able

171
00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:43.279
to do that. There are a
lot of simple tools that you can start

172
00:13:43.279 --> 00:13:46.360
with, so you know, it's
just putting in that time because it is

173
00:13:46.399 --> 00:13:50.240
a muscle and you have to you
have to practice and develop it well.

174
00:13:50.360 --> 00:13:54.200
And that's what everyone says, that
you have to do the work. But

175
00:13:54.360 --> 00:13:56.519
can you give me an example of
what, like, what is one of

176
00:13:56.559 --> 00:14:01.519
the work things? So you are
in a circle. That's perfect, but

177
00:14:01.799 --> 00:14:05.440
you want an even easier way,
very very first step, get a deck

178
00:14:05.480 --> 00:14:11.000
of playing cards. And really the
reason deck of playing cards works well is

179
00:14:11.039 --> 00:14:13.960
because you could sit in a coffee
shop and do this and nobody knows what

180
00:14:13.000 --> 00:14:18.200
you're doing. You know, that's
just. But if you get yourself a

181
00:14:18.200 --> 00:14:20.399
deck of playing cards, the first
thing that you're going to do is is

182
00:14:20.440 --> 00:14:24.799
this red or is this black?
And you're going to keep track of it.

183
00:14:24.240 --> 00:14:28.200
So know in the beginning sometimes you're
not going to be able to get

184
00:14:28.200 --> 00:14:31.200
that because you're building that skill,
but it's also going to show you,

185
00:14:31.320 --> 00:14:33.679
Okay, when I felt like this
is red, something was different in my

186
00:14:33.720 --> 00:14:37.919
body, and then when I said
black, I didn't feel exactly the same

187
00:14:37.919 --> 00:14:41.159
way. So you start to discern
when you're able to into it something.

188
00:14:41.600 --> 00:14:43.919
So if you start with those playing
cards, the red and black, that's

189
00:14:43.960 --> 00:14:48.080
a really good practice. Then you
can move to okay, what suit is

190
00:14:48.120 --> 00:14:56.320
it? And then after that the
tough one is then you start to say

191
00:14:56.360 --> 00:15:00.279
what suit and what number or is
it you know, one of the face

192
00:15:00.360 --> 00:15:05.879
cards. So that's a really good
way to practice to just get that going.

193
00:15:05.799 --> 00:15:09.840
It's interesting the feeling that you said
that you get when you're doing these

194
00:15:09.879 --> 00:15:13.879
things, when you're right, when
you're wrong, whatever. This is a

195
00:15:13.879 --> 00:15:16.799
little weird, but I'm gonna go
out there and I'm gonna share with you,

196
00:15:16.799 --> 00:15:18.679
and I'm not shared with anybody,
not even her. I played Gin

197
00:15:20.080 --> 00:15:24.120
okay, and my phone have an
app that played Gin on all the time,

198
00:15:24.399 --> 00:15:28.240
and sometimes I'm playing my opponent and
the opponent will pick up a card

199
00:15:28.279 --> 00:15:33.240
and I'll just know they're going out, and they will inevitably every time I

200
00:15:33.279 --> 00:15:35.200
think that they're going out, boo, they're out. It's like, God,

201
00:15:37.360 --> 00:15:39.639
now, how can I stop them
from going out? So I'm tann

202
00:15:39.679 --> 00:15:43.120
to figure out that is not something
that you can do. We all have

203
00:15:43.159 --> 00:15:48.519
free will, so you can't change
anybody else. You can only change your

204
00:15:48.519 --> 00:15:52.840
perception of what's going on for you. But I can tell you that is

205
00:15:52.879 --> 00:15:56.559
a really good example that you just
use because that feeling that you're talking about,

206
00:15:56.679 --> 00:16:00.120
you know, a lot of people
don't recognize where they feel that in

207
00:16:00.159 --> 00:16:03.200
their body. Gut feelings don't always
come from the gut there. They can

208
00:16:03.240 --> 00:16:07.960
be anywhere in your body. So
it's just really important if you're doing these

209
00:16:07.000 --> 00:16:12.759
exercises to be aware of your body
and what you feel in different places and

210
00:16:12.960 --> 00:16:17.039
how it differs when you're right and
when you're wrong. See, for me,

211
00:16:17.080 --> 00:16:18.840
it's more of a knowing, like
I just know. I don't don't

212
00:16:19.039 --> 00:16:21.960
and I don't have to look and
see. I don't have to see do

213
00:16:22.000 --> 00:16:26.679
I feel anything? But right now
it's just like I know, and sure

214
00:16:26.759 --> 00:16:30.440
enough, I don't want to say
every time I was, probably nine out

215
00:16:30.440 --> 00:16:33.919
of ten times I will know they're
about to go out right before they go

216
00:16:33.960 --> 00:16:40.399
out. So is that does that
mean I'm psychic? Yeah, that Karen,

217
00:16:40.440 --> 00:16:45.360
I'm psychic. That's part of it. That is the clear They call

218
00:16:45.399 --> 00:16:49.720
it clear knowing the word yes,
clear cognizance. Thank you very much.

219
00:16:51.360 --> 00:16:56.679
So that is that piece of it. So that's where you've developed stronger than

220
00:16:56.759 --> 00:17:00.000
any other areas at the moment.
But you can open up some of those

221
00:17:00.080 --> 00:17:03.879
other areas and develop those as well. Great, so I am psychic agin

222
00:17:04.359 --> 00:17:10.799
genen psychic only we can monetize that. Yeah, good point, because I

223
00:17:10.799 --> 00:17:12.359
can know when they're going out.
I can't stop them. That's why I

224
00:17:12.359 --> 00:17:15.319
was headed. I can't stop them. And then that's maybe the biggest thing

225
00:17:15.319 --> 00:17:19.319
you need to work on is control
issues. You might have a point,

226
00:17:19.440 --> 00:17:22.839
You might have a point, So
think, can does this work with?

227
00:17:23.319 --> 00:17:29.319
Can anybody learn how to be psychic? We're all born with intuition, so

228
00:17:29.440 --> 00:17:33.279
it's not maybe learning how to be
psychic, but but developing what we already

229
00:17:33.359 --> 00:17:34.960
have that we don't know that's inside
of us. Okay, So when we

230
00:17:34.960 --> 00:17:40.799
talk about gifts and things like that, so you help others develop their gifts

231
00:17:40.839 --> 00:17:42.599
absolutely, and it's not just psychic
gifts, it's all They could be healers,

232
00:17:42.640 --> 00:17:47.519
it could be any kind of gifts. Does you mentioned everybody was born

233
00:17:47.559 --> 00:17:52.359
intuitive? Does everybody have a gift? They we just aren't aware of it.

234
00:17:52.440 --> 00:17:56.160
You can, you can develop things
to a certain extent, so for

235
00:17:56.240 --> 00:18:02.519
example, I have the knowing that
is one of the strongest pieces for me.

236
00:18:02.920 --> 00:18:06.559
I struggle with clairvoyance. I don't
see things in my mind the way

237
00:18:06.599 --> 00:18:11.319
that other people see. But I
can do a psychic reading or a medium

238
00:18:11.319 --> 00:18:12.960
ship reading, and I can tell
you that someone is standing there in a

239
00:18:14.000 --> 00:18:17.319
top hat and a coat. I
cannot see it in my mind like some

240
00:18:17.400 --> 00:18:21.480
other people can. I just know
that that's what they're wearing. Oh wow.

241
00:18:21.559 --> 00:18:23.720
So I can see little bits and
pieces, and it's just something I'm

242
00:18:23.799 --> 00:18:26.480
learning to develop. But I don't
think that's ever going to be as strong

243
00:18:26.880 --> 00:18:32.279
as my knowing full disclusion on the
same way. I know. I've been

244
00:18:32.279 --> 00:18:36.119
doing them clear cognizance, so I
understand where you're coming from. But I

245
00:18:36.160 --> 00:18:40.319
really want to see. And I
have the least funnel line of the claars

246
00:18:41.440 --> 00:18:44.160
because of smell. Yeah, like
every once in a while, especially in

247
00:18:44.400 --> 00:18:47.440
our daughter's well in the old house, I would have this smelling like a

248
00:18:47.440 --> 00:18:49.920
little bit of like Kumin or bo
or something every once in a while and

249
00:18:49.960 --> 00:18:52.759
there's nobody in there, no one
in the house all day. I like,

250
00:18:52.759 --> 00:18:56.400
well, that's you know, what's
that going to do? Well,

251
00:18:56.519 --> 00:19:00.240
that's a good one. But that
just means that you can start develop thing

252
00:19:00.240 --> 00:19:03.839
the others as well. You're already
at that place where you've got a little

253
00:19:03.839 --> 00:19:07.880
hold on one, so let's go
ahead and open up the others. Okay,

254
00:19:07.319 --> 00:19:10.839
And that's something that you would be
able to help me even But I

255
00:19:10.839 --> 00:19:14.599
should start with the cards. That
is the best way to start, just

256
00:19:14.640 --> 00:19:18.160
because it's that practice. I know
I've said it twice already, but that

257
00:19:18.279 --> 00:19:22.000
muscle really needs to be developed.
And what do you do when you need

258
00:19:22.039 --> 00:19:25.240
to develop muscles? You can go
to the gym and you work out using

259
00:19:25.279 --> 00:19:29.480
those cards. Some people some people, yes, but using those cards is

260
00:19:29.519 --> 00:19:33.920
your intuitive workout. Wow. See
that's you know that. That's so interesting

261
00:19:33.000 --> 00:19:36.400
to hear that because you think,
oh they have gifts. This person's a

262
00:19:36.400 --> 00:19:40.480
pecond. You don't actually think of
people working at it. But yeah,

263
00:19:40.519 --> 00:19:42.880
I like it. It's a muscle, so it's possible. You too.

264
00:19:45.119 --> 00:19:48.880
It's a muscle, so it's possible. Can I have one of those as

265
00:19:48.880 --> 00:19:52.440
well? Absolutely? Absolutely, yes, I that's gonna happen. Okay,

266
00:19:52.920 --> 00:19:57.680
this is trademark. Now, don't
go stealing the idea, right, Well,

267
00:19:57.720 --> 00:20:00.880
I want to we're running out of
time. I want to make sure

268
00:20:00.880 --> 00:20:03.000
that we've touched on Serenity Work,
So can you tell us what that's about.

269
00:20:03.319 --> 00:20:07.319
Yeah, Serenity Works is my business. As you have mentioned, I

270
00:20:07.319 --> 00:20:11.599
have multiple modalities. I also do
regular coaching. I'm here to be of

271
00:20:11.640 --> 00:20:15.480
service, so I do a lot
of things. I will say that a

272
00:20:15.480 --> 00:20:18.880
lot of things are going to be
added soon, just because, as I

273
00:20:18.920 --> 00:20:22.480
said, I'm making this my priority, making my business and building it.

274
00:20:22.200 --> 00:20:26.680
So there are a lot of things
in the works. One of the things

275
00:20:26.680 --> 00:20:30.160
that I read about you that sounds
like you're going to start providing a service

276
00:20:30.279 --> 00:20:36.200
end of life spiritual services. So
a lot of people call it end of

277
00:20:36.240 --> 00:20:41.440
life doula, and you know that
word doesn't necessarily resonate with me, and

278
00:20:41.519 --> 00:20:45.119
I think I'm going to be expanding
on some of those opportunities to help people

279
00:20:45.480 --> 00:20:51.880
in transitioning. My main goal with
that service is to work with not only

280
00:20:51.920 --> 00:20:56.680
people who are transitioning and their families. Their families are important because so many

281
00:20:56.720 --> 00:21:00.359
of us I've had a lot of
losses, and what I notice most in

282
00:21:00.559 --> 00:21:06.000
loss is that we have these feelings
and we don't know what to do with

283
00:21:06.039 --> 00:21:11.599
these feelings because sometimes we're jealous of
the attention that someone who's dying gets Sometimes

284
00:21:11.640 --> 00:21:15.279
we resent them. Sometimes, you
know, people have these feelings and they're

285
00:21:15.279 --> 00:21:18.160
normal because we're human, and people
don't know what to do with those and

286
00:21:18.200 --> 00:21:23.480
it turns into something else. It
turns into acting out towards the person who's

287
00:21:23.839 --> 00:21:30.160
transitioning. It really expands into something. So I really want to be able

288
00:21:30.200 --> 00:21:34.559
to work with people to identify these
things and try to make transitioning easier for

289
00:21:34.720 --> 00:21:37.559
the person going. There's a lot
of people that want to say, hey,

290
00:21:38.119 --> 00:21:41.799
I don't want you to go,
even though this person's ready, their

291
00:21:41.960 --> 00:21:45.880
body is done and their mind is
done, but they're holding on for other

292
00:21:45.960 --> 00:21:49.160
people. And you know, sometimes
we have to walk away from that.

293
00:21:49.599 --> 00:21:55.200
And I want to be able to
help people with those transitions and does bring

294
00:21:55.240 --> 00:21:59.200
us back a little bit full circle. But I do believe that's a shamanic

295
00:21:59.240 --> 00:22:03.480
practice way to help folks as they're
transitioning out, to help them pass and

296
00:22:03.519 --> 00:22:07.839
be ready and be comfortable with the
way that the past. It's a beautiful

297
00:22:08.119 --> 00:22:15.640
tradition and ritual that that shaman has
performed to help someone in need. Absolutely.

298
00:22:15.640 --> 00:22:19.680
Now are you an author, Katrina, I am going to be shortly.

299
00:22:21.279 --> 00:22:23.319
I have a set of books that
I'm starting with and there are going

300
00:22:23.359 --> 00:22:26.920
to be a little pocket guides to
life, and it's going to be about

301
00:22:26.920 --> 00:22:30.480
different little pieces. But I do
have another book that I'm working on to

302
00:22:30.559 --> 00:22:37.960
help shift perceptions and plant the seeds
of change. So remember the little pocket

303
00:22:37.960 --> 00:22:42.279
books for the kids. You can
just imagine a whole line of that and

304
00:22:42.279 --> 00:22:48.079
a spiritual Yeah. I think that's
very cool. So when are you starting

305
00:22:48.079 --> 00:22:52.440
that? When you think they'll be
out, I'm fingers crossed by the end

306
00:22:52.440 --> 00:22:56.480
of summer, I'll have I'll have
something out, Like we said, not

307
00:22:56.519 --> 00:23:00.960
busy at all, writing some books, starting a business. Yeah, Seed

308
00:23:00.039 --> 00:23:07.400
to be Patina. This has been
amazing. It's been an absolute pleasure getting

309
00:23:07.440 --> 00:23:11.480
to know you and getting to understand
what makes you tick. And thank you

310
00:23:11.519 --> 00:23:15.400
for helping us to realize that I
am psychic. If someone wanted to reach

311
00:23:15.400 --> 00:23:18.799
out to you, maybe to get
your services, get some helps guidance,

312
00:23:18.839 --> 00:23:21.319
what's the best way for them to
do that? So the website right now,

313
00:23:21.359 --> 00:23:23.519
well, I do have social media, so it would be Serenity works

314
00:23:23.519 --> 00:23:29.559
on Facebook and at Serenity works on
Instagram. I am building those, so

315
00:23:29.640 --> 00:23:33.720
I just asked for everybody's patients.
My website is also available. That would

316
00:23:33.720 --> 00:23:37.039
probably be the best way at the
moment to if you are interested in finding

317
00:23:37.039 --> 00:23:41.680
out more services and what's coming up. Definitely sign up for the newsletter,

318
00:23:41.319 --> 00:23:45.119
but reaching out to me by email
through the website is probably the fastest way

319
00:23:45.160 --> 00:23:48.599
to get in touch with me,
and that is Serenity works with an X

320
00:23:48.759 --> 00:23:53.240
yes wo r x yes. So
you will have just seen that. If

321
00:23:53.240 --> 00:23:56.319

seen that on a lower third in on

322
00:23:56.440 --> 00:24:00.359

323
00:24:00.440 --> 00:24:03.440

show notes, we'll be sure to lay
