Tammy: What do you enjoy most about being an intuitive reader?
Misty: I love every aspect of it. I love connecting to that infinite space where intuition resides. That place that sees beyond what the eyes see and knows beyond what our minds know. I love the feeling I get when I am intimately connected with my intuition, that feeling of stillness, clarity, and knowing. I love that I am so in tune with my intuition that I can connect to it on behalf of others to request clarity, confirmation, and guidance for them as well. I love being able to help guide others, providing them with messages and insight for their journey. I love helping others understand that they can act with more intention, awareness, and deliberation in their daily lives, that they are not at the whim of the world, but rather, they get to decide what happens next and which way their lives will go.
Being an intuitive reader is something that I have had to embrace over time. Really seeing myself as an intuitive reader was something I didn’t understand at first and didn’t accept for a long time. I questioned my intuition, abilities, and connection with Spirit; I questioned whether I was the right “one” to do this work. Still, thankfully, my life experiences just kept giving me more reasons to embrace my role as an intuitive reader, and I am most grateful that through this role, I am serving myself and the world around me quite well.
Tammy: Do you ever do your own readings, and is it easier to do readings for others vs. your own? Why?
Misty: Primarily, I am learning to live from a place of intuition so that I don’t have to pause to do a reading. I am strengthening my own inner guidance system to the point where it is my strongest sense, and I simply act when I feel the inner pull. But that’s a work in progress. So yes, I do my own readings. Every morning I pull a Tarot card to give me insight into the energy of the day. When I need more insight, I do a full Tarot Reading or Destiny Reading to help me understand the energies surrounding me and possible outcomes.
I wouldn’t say doing readings for myself is any easier or harder than reading for others. Still, I would say that sometimes, as humans, we really can’t see ourselves objectively, and readings for ourselves can be clouded by our own desires, perspectives, and expectations. So I think that as a reader, it’s always good to have another reader that you trust and respect do readings for you from time to time so that way the insight is more objective and not skewed to our desired outcomes.
Tammy: When did you know you had a gift to heal and inspire others?
Misty: That is a great question. Sometimes you know things, but you don’t really believe them. For me, I’ve always known that I was deeply spiritually connected. I knew it as a child. I had a strong, inexplicable connection to the Divine. I was fascinated by that which is unseen. I felt the presence of Spirit/Divinity all around me, in me, through me, and as for me, my entire life…but I didn’t really believe it. Because we live in a world that very much wants you to focus on external stimuli, I often ignored, questioned, and doubted my inner gifts.
Thankfully, the stressful career and accomplishment-driven life I was leading led me back to my spiritual practices of meditation, mindfulness, energy healing, card reading, etc. And I began to tap into my inner, higher self even more. My super supportive husband began to encourage me to share what I was doing with the world; even when I doubted whether it would be beneficial for anyone else, he encouraged me to start doing readings for friends, family, strangers, anyone who needed some guidance and clarity. And I began to notice how much I absolutely loved sharing my spiritual gifts with the world and how enlightening, helpful and beneficial my gifts were for others who I was sharing them with.
I could read cards all day for others. I could talk about spirituality and Universal Laws and tools that we can use to tune into our higher selves all day long, and I actually have! When I realized that I feel most alive when I tap into my spiritual gifts and use them for the greater good, I not only knew but also believed I had gifts to heal and inspire others.
Tammy: In your experience, how does Reiki help those who may be interested in learning more?
Misty: We’re all familiar with massage, right? Well, Reiki, in a way, is like a massage for your energy body. It breaks up those energetic knots. It smooths out those energetic kinks. It helps stretch and soothe your energy body so that you are balanced, in tune, and expansive, not tight, congested, and restricted — which is how most of us are carrying on with our daily lives right now. I recommend Reiki to absolutely EVERYONE. There is so much coming at us from the outside world, and it is imperative that we maintain balance in our inner world. We must unblock our blocked energy so that we can get back to being in the flow of life instead of struggling against life.
If you are feeling tight, anxious, restricted, fearful, stressed, or any number of negative emotions, I highly recommend seeing a trained Reiki practitioner to help liberate and balance your energy. Feel free to reach out to me if you are interested in having this type of healing work done. I’m on all Social Media as The Spiritual Attorney or you can go to my website www.thespiritualattorney.com.
Tammy: What projects/endeavors are you currently working on or are involved with?
Misty: I have recently released my very first book, FOCUS: Redirect The Magnifying Glass of Your Life to Live The Life of Your Dreams. The book’s premise is that we are not a society that practices focus; instead, we practice distraction, and we’ve gotten so good at being distracted that we don’t even realize how transformative the power of our focus is. So the book offers 20 different areas that we can focus our attention and intention to get more in alignment with more success, abundance, ease, and flow in our lives. My book is currently for sale on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Kindle, but if you order it from my website, I will send a signed copy of the book, along with a free gift.
I am also hosting my first Books & Brunch party to celebrate my book release. On Sunday, September 12th, 2021, from 1 pm-5 pm, we will be having a light bites brunch, mimosas & sangrias, photo ops, music, African dancing and drumming, book signing, and more! And if anyone would like to book a service with me, they can do so at the event as well. It’s just going to be a great time with great energy, and everyone is invited. You can bring your book to have it signed, or you can purchase one with your entry ticket or at the event.
I am also working on creating more content to share higher knowledge, guidance, and inspiration, so be on the lookout on my blog (www.thespiritualattorney.com/blog) and my YouTube channel for that content. Again, I’m on all Social Media as The Spiritual Attorney.
Tammy: How do you feel you make a difference in the world?
Misty: I make a difference in the world simply by making changes within myself. I strive to live in the light. I strive to be the light. I strive to be the best light worker I can possibly be so that I can help illuminate the world. That is my purpose, to be the light in the dark places. To love and accept my whole self to help others love and accept themselves as well, and make the necessary changes within to elevate, expand, and electrify the world. I make a difference in the world by simply knowing, loving, and staying true to myself, and in that way, I help others do the same. I amplify my light, increase my energy, and spread my talents, gifts, and abilities to serve the world on a grander scale, and in that way, I am the change that I want to see in the world.
Tammy: are you looking forward to within your career?
Misty: I am looking forward to increasing my knowledge and spiritual adeptness so that I can be of greater service to the world and add more value to the lives of others. I am looking forward to becoming an even more established thought leader in leading people back to the power of their own minds and the fortitude of their own spirits. I am looking forward to becoming a multi-media personality by sharing helpful, insightful content with the world and I am looking forward to helping the masses understand that we have the power to change the trajectory that our collective consciousness is headed in if only we are brave enough to look at ourselves and be that change. I am most looking forward to seeing this mission through, in all the ways that will unfold before me.
