Last night I had the absolute pleasure of attending an evening with Oprah – her NZ live show in Auckland.  I am now able to tick another thing off my vision board.

What an absolute gift it was to be in the presence of such transformational greatness.

The whole experience feels so divinely intervened – from meeting beautiful souls in the queue for future business opportunities in Christchurch to meeting a fellow psychic medium (from my area) in the carpark with the hour long wait from being on the top level.

From the moment Oprah stepped on the stage till the moment she left I was captivated by her every word which rings true in every part of my being.

I want to share with you my biggest ‘take-away’ moments because one of my values is ‘when we share wisdom we transform mankind’.

1. You are your legacy
This means that every encounter you have whether it be in person to something you have shared on a social media platform has the ability to change someones life. You are your legacy, not your ‘success’, but every person you have touched in some way and the impact that has had on them. This could be right down to smiling and saying thank you to the delivery man who brings your courier, making him feel appreciated. Use your words and gestures to send out love and that will be what people will remember you for.

2. Your life is an offering to the world
This is all about us being spiritual beings having a human experience and no matter how you came into the world that YOUR LIFE MATTERS.
How will you make a difference to this world? Your life’s purpose is doing something you are truly passionate about and no one should tell you what can or cannot be achieved. You are an asset to this world and even if you are the pebble in the water, you will create ripples.
When you come from a place of service then complete abundance comes your way.

3. Authentically empower others
Who you are is amazing and you should not try to become anyone else. Your personality is your biggest asset. It is the reflection of your soul. By being yourself, you allow yourself to be fully present in your life and for those around you. The more of yourself you reveal to the world, the more you empower it.
Move away from wanting to be like someone or have the life that someone else has. You are unique and deserve your version of a great life.

4. Intention is everything
What we put out comes back to us. Our life is a mirror of your thoughts (conscious and subconscious), so be mindful of your intention towards people and situations. You co-create your life with the intention and energy that you bring to a space.
If you believe life is struggle, then this will show up in your life daily. If you believe that you are prosperous then this will show up in your daily life.
Be mindful of the energy you bring into your life and your space as this will affect the intention you have for your life.

5. Turmoil builds strength
There is no life, without a spiritual life, therefore your unhappiness is a reflection of the disconnection to the self.
When you are in moments of absolute struggle with no end in sight, this is actually a good thing, because it is your own divine guidance steering you in the direction that is more aligned to your path. You have to surrender to the attachment of the outcome and allow for the universe to do its thing.
The hard times is what builds our strength and resilience. The more strength we build the more power we tend to have over our lives.

6. Gratitude
Gratitude is the key to happiness and success. It is important to reflect on what you have in your life and appreciate that. The more gratitude you show in your life the more abundance can be on display for you.
Make time to show gratitude to others around you and see how it comes back to you. It is suggested to have a gratitude journal to write down what you are thankful for. Start being more thankful and see how the universe shows up for you.

I want to leave you with a quote that I will be adapting for myself from now on from a poem Oprah used to read as a little girl.

“I am the master of my fate
I am the captain of my soul”

In the video she talked about how she wasn’t here to create disciples but she was here to create teachers, and I truly resonate with that message.

I’ve always said in all my classes or workshops that I want to impart as much knowledge as I can onto them as it really is no point me having it all to myself. I’m only one person, and if we can have more of us sharing the love and messages from the spirit world and universe then we are creating more good for humanity.

I believe there is enough for everybody and I don’t ever look at myself in competition with anyone or being better than anybody else. I believe in my ability and continue to develop it with teachers who I believe can continue to grow my ability to connect to the spirit world. By doing so, I can then impart my knowledge and ability for those who seek me out or need me.

I love seeing people shine and finding their purpose in life and that brings me so much joy. If I can help one person everyday then I know I have done my part as a lightworker.

However there are only so many hours in one day and I also have to put time and energy into my family and friends, so I have to impart my knowledge. I have to share what I have been taught by these AMAZING teachers in the hope that they will too share their knowledge and ability with those around them.

So the message is about helping you.
It’s about being able to touch your heart.
It’s about making you know that you are loved and supported.
It’s about aligning you with your life’s purpose.

The message isn’t about about me.
It’s not about money or fame.
It’s about how can I create more love, acceptance, peace and healing for people in this world.
The message is about understanding that the universe and the spirit world is here to help us all lead meaningful and abundant lives.
So the more teachers we have spreading this message, then hopefully the happier our world will become.

So as Gabrielle Bernstein said “I’m not here to create disciples, I’m here to create teachers.”

My mum had recommended a Psychic, so I booked my appointment and my mum drove me.  I went into her house and sat down at her dinner room table.  She seemed friendly enough and had a whole bunch of cards on the side of the table.
I really had no idea of any process or what to expect, as the only other readings I had ever had were in the University Library by my friend.

She asked me to shuffle the cards, and to think about the kind of guidance I wanted.  Once I had chosen a pack that I wanted she laid them out and started to pass on information to me.  I can’t exactly remember all of it.  But she did confirm that my relationship was going to end, and that I was going to move back home with my mum and that I was going to be fine.  That I would have some financial support and be taken care of.   What a reassurance that was.  I knew then, that even though the next part of my life wasn’t going to be easy, that I was going to make it alright.

She got me to use another deck of cards and to do the same thing.  Once I had picked a pack I wanted she went on to read for me again.  This was many years ago now and it was not taped or written down, so I really can’t remember too much.  She did go on about how I needed to be a reader and that I would eventually be known at an international level.  At the time I was like … “whatever!”

I’m sure we did this process one more time and my hour appointment I’m sure lasted one and a half hours!  I’m pretty sure she felt sorry for me being so young and having to make such big decisions.  She didn’t make any of the decisions for me, but she was very blunt with what she saw for me.  I took her word for it as she was able to tell me things about my relationship and my life that there would have been no way she would have known.

It really was an amazing experience, and I do believe it changed my life.  When I was at this major crossroad and completely lost she gave me the light and inspiration I needed about my life.

Since that reading I had gone to her two more times, and have now had several readings from other Psychic Mediums.  Of course I can do this for myself, but I like to sit in the chair, and like everyone I want to know what is ahead for me.

I would love for you to share your first ever psychic reading experience.
