Welcome to the School for Psychics podcast. I'm your host and founder, psychic medium, Crystal Moreland. Psychic work has carried stigma for long enough to in large part to people operating out of integrity and utilizing unsafe practices. More than that, so many that are operating from integrity are walking around only half confident in their gifts, which ultimately does a disservice to your clients, yourself, and the collective. I'm here to change that. Throughout this podcast, you'll hear inspiring stories from other spiritual entrepreneurs And I'll share some of the wisdom I've gained throughout years of teaching psychic development in practical, simple ways that uphold the highest standards of integrity across the industry. If you're ready to become the confident, clear channel you came here to be and help change the psychic industry for the better, I invite you to visit my website at theschoolforspsychics.com where you'll find courses, programs, and mentorship opportunities that serve anyone, whether you're a beginner or advanced or anywhere in between. Welcome back to the podcast. I'm very excited for today's episode because I think that those of you that are beginners or brand new to understanding your connection and feeling into your intuition and receiving messages, I think that today's episode, while short and sweet, is going to give you a really simple way to start. leaning in and trusting that connection even more, starting to become aware of how messages are already coming through for you in ways that maybe you discounted or didn't realize and had kind of thought that, that must be my mind. So I'm very excited to share this with you today. But before we dive into there, I want to share a testimonial from one of the students inside the conscious psychic certification program. She says she's absolutely obsessed. Corey Mee shares, I am absolutely obsessed with the program, like floating on cloud nine about it. I know it's only my second week, but I am already feeling shifts on such a deep and expansive level. Thank you. I love this so much, Corey. I love that these shifts are occurring straight out of the gates for the students inside the program. This has been such a monumentally eye-opening experience for me because I knew going into this that all of the curriculum and all of the support and all of the things that I am teaching inside of this program, I knew that no matter whether you had never connected before or you'd been doing it for years and still didn't trust it, by the time that you were through the curriculum, you were going to be bringing through psychic messages at an advanced level. But what I didn't anticipate was just how much people's connections would be blown wide open from the very first week. And it has been so incredible to see, to experience, witness, and to see how fast they are showing up to what they're learning, applying it, seeing the different blocks and uh interference that their brain brings through, and then being able to support in that and move through that and overcome that and like the level of confidence and trust and faith and ability. It's just, it's incredible. It's incredible. I'm so excited to be seeing this. And I know that A lot of times in these types of containers, it's not just that we're going it alone and learning something on our own time, but we're in the energy too of other people's expansion. And I know that I've seen that a lot of times in my one-on-one work, people will come in to work with me one-on-one. And a lot of times they'll tell me that there's something that happens in that container of working with me. that opens up their expansion at a different level or a different rate or a different, it's just like this different level, that's I guess the best way I could describe it, of expansion than what they've received in other containers. And I know that I am an expander, I'm a bridge for people, and just being in the program that has been clear from, the very first week for each of the students coming in that that expansion has been occurring for them. It's been made available for them too and they are expanding at exponential rates. I love it so much. I just finished sending over an evaluation for one of the students inside the program today and it is insane to see how much she has grown and like when The very first time I met her and saw her in her connection, utilizing her connection, it was a struggle to bring messages through. It was a struggle to identify what messages were coming in and uh she felt like, her literal words to me was, I'm just a baby beginner. And the video that I evaluated today of one of her practice sessions, She was just like bring through message after message after message after message is so cool. It's so cool So anyway, thank you, Cory for sharing that I am so delighted to have you inside of the conscious psychic certification program The best is yet to come. It's just gonna keep expanding and expanding for you. So So glad to have you here Okay, let's dive into today's message last week's episode was all about utilizing know, tarot or oracle cards and shifting from using those into being able to bring messages through without the cards. And today I wanna talk to the people that are brand new or maybe beginners or maybe you're dabbling with uh tarot or oracle cards to try to connect to messages for yourself, maybe even for other people, but you're just not feeling really sure about whether you're even connecting, whether it's just the cards or it's you or what's happening. And I wanna give you a way to bridge the gap between where you are into... a rate that will have you at the pace of connecting and receiving messages in a much more fluid way without constantly second guessing what you're picking up so that you can start seeing what's actually coming in versus what you're kind of giving over to your mind or saying to yourself that, oh, I'm just making this stuff up. or this is just coming through because, I know myself, or I know this person, or whatever. So this is something that I did with students that would come to me that had never really connected before, they didn't think that they were, had not been utilizing their connection or their intuition in a formal manner. And what I would find is that once they started implementing this practice, their rate of growth accelerated exponentially into the ability to bring through messages very quickly, very easily, and the access of information, it just flowed so well. And it's simple. And I want to stress that. I know I talked about that on last week's episode, but I want to stress that here today too, that we overcomplicate things and we make it much harder on ourselves than it needs to be. and I am here to change that. Typically, what you are likely doing is you're pulling a card and you are going to the guidebook to understand what is the meaning of this card? What does it represent? Maybe you're even going on Google and you're looking up the meanings. I remember, gosh, before I even was aware that my connection was what was coming, I totally thought it was like the cards. The cards were the ones with the answers and I just had no correlation whatsoever that. It was my connection. was, the cards were just tools to translate what I was receiving or help me to identify and become aware of what it was that was actually coming through. Because I thought it was just like thoughts in my head. And I would pull a card and then I would go to, I think it's Biddy Tarot, B-I-D-D-Y Tarot, to look up the meaning of the card. And I was not someone who ever got um into, I didn't get the memorization of tarot cards. I had this deck that it was set up as a tarot deck, but the meanings behind the cards, they did not follow the traditional meanings. So I just never ended up. getting that familiar with tarot itself. But I would go and I would look up the meanings and I would try to understand what does that mean and I would read about it and maybe if I didn't like the answer, I would go do another Google search and see what else, what something else said about the card that I received. um And with Oracle decks too, right? Like pulling the card. and then immediately going to the guidebook to understand what does this mean. And I will say that the guidebooks and the definitions, they are amazing and they are wonderful and they give structure and framework to things and they're beautiful and I don't discount that. I understand their purpose. But I also, after years of training students in psychic development, Most of those students have come to me with, Cards is where we all started out in one form or fashion or another. I will say that the guidebooks themselves most generally end up yielding a dependency and a lack of self-trust. You don't build the intuitive muscle when you are dependent on the book to tell you what the meaning is. And that's just, that's inherently true for humans. Right, if I can go to Google and I can find the answer that I'm looking for for whatever solution I'm trying to seek out, sure, that's so much easier than doing it myself. Oh my gosh, we live in a world where AI is just like ever present and I have seen so many of my clients and people just in the spiritual industry itself, let alone all the others. utilize things like chat GBT to help them ideate, like come up with different ideas, come up with different programs or different offerings, come up with their content, et cetera. And in one hand, we could look at it as, no, I'm working more efficiently, but in the other, it creates this very dangerous dependency that takes you out of your connection to self. out of your connection to your higher self, your soul, it takes you out of your intuitive body and into, don't have the answer and I can't receive the answer. And if I do receive the answer, I can't trust the answer that I receive. So it's just like this very dangerous game that we play with dependency on things. That's just an example. I am not here to shame anyone who utilizes AI. to each their own, but I have seen the unfortunate impacts that it creates. And that is all I'm sharing with you here today. So when it comes to, pull a card and I go to the guidebook and I'm looking for what the card means. If you are someone who's listening to this episode and you're like, oh, this episode's definitely for me, here's what I want you to do, starting right now. I want you to stop looking at the book. Can you do that for me? I want you to stop looking at the book. I know, it sounds crazy because, well, how are you gonna know what it means? Here's what I want you to do instead. I want you to just spend a few moments when you pull a card. Number one, this is the absolute easiest when you're not doing a spread. Do not do a spread. We're not looking for 10 cards here. We're not looking for five. We're not looking for three. One at a time, my friend, one at a time, okay? So you pull a card and I want you to just look at the card. Look at the imagery. Look at the feeling that emits from you when you look at it. I want you to start noticing that you're gonna have thoughts. about the card. And I want to offer that those thoughts might not be your brain, they might actually be your intuition, your higher self speaking to you. I cannot tell you how many times I have come across, and it happens for literally everyone, it happened for myself as well, we think that our mind is saying something and it's our connection. And we don't realize it until we start to learn what our connection sounds like, what it feels like, how it changes the subtle frequencies in our body and our energy. where it comes in for us, because it's unique for each individual, how it arrives, how it presents, et cetera. We've been with our connection our entire lives. It lives within us. You didn't go out to find your intuition one day. You just remembered to be aware of it. And so it's been a part of us. It's been speaking to us all along. We just haven't been paying attention enough to know the difference. And so for me, when I discovered my connection, I went through this period of awareness of all the ways that, oh my gosh, that was my connection back then. That was my intuition speaking up during this time. That was not my brain. That was my connection. That was my higher self. That was a psychic message, et cetera. it's so much easier to see on the other side and look back and go, oh, okay, I'm aware now of what that was. So right now, you're in a space where you're not realizing what's actually your mind versus your intuitive voice, because they can sound like the same person talking. The difference is when you get into the finite patterns of your mind and the subtle energetic frequency differences. Those are the things that I teach inside the Conscious Psychic Certification Program, showing you simple ways to start uncovering that for you and how that works and looks for you so that you can recognize that because until you can really truly know the difference between the mind and the intuition, It keeps you in this space of not having full confidence and trust in your connection. And it keeps the connection not at the potency or the clarity level that it could be. But in regards to today's episode, this is the challenge that I want for you. I want you to release the guidebooks and just look at the card. Feel into it. Write down what you perceive, whether it's a thought, a feeling, a message that maybe you're like, oh my god, I'm totally making this up. I want you to write it down. I want you to lean into it. And do this every day. Pull a card for yourself every day. Just simply ask the question, what message am I meant to receive today? And pull the card and release the guidebook. and jot down. what you're sensing. Sometimes it helps if you speak out loud and describe what you're seeing or picking up on with the card. There is power in vocalizing so that the energy can move through the body and not get stuck in the middle and then the mind kind of gets in and metals. So if it's helpful, just say it out loud even if you're just talking to yourself. And then maybe challenge yourself to pull a card for a friend and see what message comes through. And all you have to say is, what message does this person need to receive that will serve their best and highest good? and do the same thing, no guidebook. And here's the second part of this challenge. You don't pick up the book to go verify that you got it right. That's not what this is about. This is about you learning to trust what comes in. About you learning to recognize that not everything is a thought like you think it is. About you learning to lean in to the possibility that you're already receiving messages and it's easier than you might think. Try this on for the next week and see what happens.
