Sunday May 21, 2023
Sunday May 21, 2023
This episode continues the connection divination tools theme. We now move to the Advanced tools, such as Mediumship, Psychic Redis, Inner Voice, and Akashic Records. We categorize those tools as more advanced tools because these tools require you to have a deeper trust in your intuition, in your Inner voice, and with the messages you receive without having that external validation that we get from using tools such as pendulums or Oracle Cards and Tarot Cards. Discover the secrets of these advanced divination tools as we guide you on a transformative journey of self-discovery and heightened intuition.
Tune in now to unlock the power of these tools and forge a stronger bond with your true self.
Make sure to catch up on Part 1 to discover an array of basic connection tools, including body testing, crystals, and pendulums.
