We live in a world that rarely lets us exhale.
From the moment we wake, we’re pulled outward — by schedules, screens, conversations, and the unspoken pressure to be ‘on’. But there’s a quiet power in pausing; in choosing to become still. It’s in that space that we remember our own wisdom.
As a psychic and spiritual guide, people often come to me seeking clarity. But what they’re really longing for is something simpler: stillness. Not the absence of thought, but the presence of themselves. The pause is where intuition lives. It’s where your inner oracle speaks.
These are three simple, sacred practices I return to daily, both before holding space for others, and when I need to return to myself.
1. The Breath and the Body:
A Two-Minute Grounding
No tools. No music. Just breath.
I sit with both feet on the earth and breathe in through my nose for four counts, out through my mouth for six. I imagine roots from the soles of my feet anchoring deep into the soil. Sometimes I place one hand over my heart, the other on my belly.
This is how I return to my centre — not by escaping, but by fully arriving in my body.
Even two minutes of this creates a subtle shift. Your nervous system settles. Your energy clears. It’s from here that we access true guidance.
2. Create a Portal, Not a Performance
Spiritual practice doesn’t have to look a certain way. You don’t need the perfect altar or the perfect incense. You need presence.
Before a session or meditation, I simply light a candle with intention. That flame becomes a portal, a symbol that I’m stepping into sacred space, with myself or another.
You can do this anywhere. A candle. A breath. A whispered word. Ritual is how we remind ourselves that something meaningful is about to happen.
3. The Whisper Journal:
Conversations with Your Inner Oracle
This is one of my most treasured practices.
At the top of a journal page, I write:
“What does my inner voice want me to know today?”
Then I listen — truly listen — and let my pen move. Sometimes it’s just a sentence. Sometimes it’s pages. What matters is the honesty. Over time, this becomes a living record of your intuitive wisdom. You’ll begin to recognise its rhythm, gentle, compassionate, clear.
The Truth About Intuition
Most people think intuition comes as lightning — a sudden flash of knowing. But more often, it’s a whisper. A quiet nudge. A flicker of truth beneath the noise.
We don’t have to chase it.
We just have to make space for it to arrive.
That’s the heart of this work. Not learning something new, but remembering what’s always been within you.
