What psychic guidance actually is (and what it's not)
I recently gave a client a sign from her family in spirit during a psychic guidance session.
A Red Cardinal bird.
She'd never seen one in her country. Didn't even know if they existed where she lived.
That same afternoon, after our session, she went to run errands. The car in front of her had a sticker of a Red Cardinal on the back window.
She emailed me when she got home. Not because she was shocked that psychic guidance "worked", but because she finally had the confirmation she needed that the healing we did together was real.
That's what psychic guidance actually is. Not fortune-telling. Not party tricks. Not proving I can guess your grandfather's name or predict lottery numbers.
It's clarity. Connection. Confirmation. And it's deeply misunderstood.
So let's clear that up.
What psychic guidance is NOT
Let's start here, because this is where most of the confusion lives.
It's not fortune-telling
I'm not here to tell you exactly when you'll meet your soulmate, win the lottery, or land your dream client. Psychic guidance doesn't work in fixed timelines or guarantees. Life is co-creative. You have free will. Energy shifts. Decisions change outcomes.
What I can do is help you see the energetic patterns at play, the blocks in your way, and the path that's most aligned for you right now. But you're still the one walking it.
It's not about proving myself
Some people hear "psychic" and immediately want a test: "What's my grandfather's name? What did I do yesterday? Tell me something you couldn't possibly know."
That's not how this works, and honestly, it misses the entire point.
Psychic guidance isn't a parlor trick. It's not about performing on demand to convince skeptics. It's about serving the people who are ready to receive insight, clarity, and healing. If you need me to prove myself before we even begin, this probably isn't for you. And that's okay.
It's not bypassing action or responsibility
Psychic guidance isn't a substitute for doing the work. It won't replace therapy, strategy, or personal responsibility. It's not "just manifest it and everything will fix itself."
What it does do is help you see what's blocking you, what's ready to shift, and where you're being called to move. But you still have to take the steps. You still have to show up. The guidance supports you, it doesn't do the work for you.
It's not always literal
This is a big one.
Psychic guidance is often metaphorical, symbolic, and intuitive. I might see images, symbols, or even pop culture references that don't make sense to me but make perfect sense to the person I'm reading for.
For example: In one session, I was seeing Mickey Mouse. Not subtle. Just Mickey, holding someone back, pulling them away from something.
I had no idea what it meant. So I said exactly what I was seeing: "I see Mickey Mouse. He's holding you back."
The client immediately knew. They had an ex-partner who worked at Disneyland. That relationship was still energetically pulling them back, even though it was over.
I couldn't have "figured that out" logically. But the image came through, and it was exactly what they needed to hear.
That's how psychic guidance works. It's not always neat or literal. It's intuitive, symbolic, and deeply personal.
What psychic guidance actually IS
So if it's not fortune-telling, proof, or bypassing, what is it?
It's accessing intuitive insight and energetic information
Psychic guidance is about tuning into energy, patterns, and information that isn't available through logic or the five senses. I work with the Akashic Records, spirit guides, and my own intuitive abilities to access insight about:
What's blocking you
What you're carrying (emotionally, energetically, ancestrally)
What's ready to heal or release
What guidance is available to you right now
It's not magic. It's not mysterious. It's just another way of perceiving and working with energy.
It's clarity on patterns, blocks, relationships, and decisions
Psychic guidance helps you see what you can't see on your own. The blind spots. The patterns you keep repeating. The energetic blocks that are keeping you stuck even though your strategy is solid.
It's especially useful when:
You feel stuck and logic isn't helping
You're carrying unresolved grief, guilt, or relational wounds
You need clarity on a decision but your mind is spinning
You want to understand what's blocking you energetically
You need confirmation that you're on the right path
It's often metaphorical and symbolic
As I mentioned with the Mickey Mouse example, psychic guidance doesn't always come through in clear, literal messages. Sometimes I see:
Tarot imagery (even if I'm not using cards)
Animals, symbols, colors
Scenes or scenarios that represent something deeper
Feelings, knowings, or energetic impressions
My job is to share what I'm receiving and trust that it will land for the person I'm working with. And it almost always does, even when I don't understand it myself.
It's a co-creative process
You're not a passive recipient. Psychic guidance works best when you're engaged, open, and willing to receive. You ask questions. You share what resonates. You're part of the process.
I'm not a vending machine. I'm a guide. And the session unfolds based on what you need, what's ready to come through, and what you're willing to look at.
It's confirmation and validation
Sometimes the guidance itself is powerful. But sometimes, what people need most is confirmation that what they're sensing, feeling, or experiencing is real.
That's where signs come in, like the Red Cardinal story I opened with.
How psychic guidance shows up in sessions
Every session is different, but here's what typically happens when I'm working with someone:
I receive visuals
Images, symbols, tarot cards (even when I'm not using a deck), animals, people, scenes. These often represent energetic patterns, blocks, or messages from spirit.
I receive feelings and knowings
Sometimes it's not visual at all. It's a feeling in my body, a knowing that lands, or a sense of what someone is carrying energetically.
I receive messages from spirit or guides
This could be from a loved one who's passed, from the person's spirit guides, or from the Akashic Records. The messages are almost always about healing, forgiveness, release, or clarity.
I read energy
I can sense what's blocking someone, what's clearing, what's ready to shift. This is especially useful in business, when strategy is solid but something still feels stuck.
How psychic guidance can support you in life and business
In your personal life:
Healing complex relationships (past or present)
Connecting with loved ones in spirit
Releasing guilt, grief, or unresolved emotions
Clarity on life decisions (moving, relationships, career shifts)
Understanding patterns that keep repeating
In your business:
Identifying energetic blocks that are keeping you stuck
Clarity on offers, direction, or next steps
Reading the energy of potential clients or collaborations
Strategic insight that doesn't come from logic alone
Understanding why something feels "off" even when it looks good on paper
For soul-led entrepreneurs especially, personal and business healing are deeply intertwined. You can't separate who you are from what you're building. And psychic guidance helps you see and clear what's in the way and what’s on the way, on both levels.
A real example: the Red Cardinal story
Let me tell you the full version of the story I opened with.
A client came to me for a psychic guidance session. Her intention was clear: she wanted to connect with her family members in spirit and heal complex relationships. She was carrying guilt, deep, heavy guilt, around things that had been said, things left unsaid, and the way certain relationships had ended.
We did the work. I connected her with her family in spirit. I facilitated healing, forgiveness, and release. I shared what I was receiving, how they felt about her, how they saw the situation, how there was nothing to forgive because there was only love.
But at the end of the session, she asked me something I'll never forget:
"How do I know this is real? How do I know this healing actually happened?"
It was a fair question. And it's one I've been asked before. Because when you're working with energy, with spirit, with the unseen, sometimes you just need confirmation.
So I said, "We can ask for a sign."
I tuned in. And what came through was: a Red Cardinal bird.
I asked her, "Do you have Red Cardinals where you live?"
She said no. She'd never seen one.
I explained: "It doesn't have to be a physical bird. You might see a picture of one. It might come up in conversation. It could be on TV, in a book, on someone's shirt. Just stay open."
That same afternoon, she went to run errands.
The car in front of her had a sticker of a Red Cardinal on the back window.
She emailed me when she got home. Not because she couldn't believe it, but because she could. The healing was real. The connection was real. And now she had the confirmation she needed to trust it.
That's what psychic guidance is. It's not about proving anything. It's about clarity, healing, and confirmation. And when you're ready to receive it, it shows up.
What clients say
"Truly an amazing experience with Ciara. I had been working with other practitioners to release childhood trauma for 35+ years, but it wasn't until I began working with Ciara 1:1 that I began to make clear progress. Through her psychic reading and healings, Ciara was able to feel my pain and see specifically what I was holding onto. With her guidance, I've been finally able to understand, forgive, and release the pain."
When psychic guidance is most useful
You don't need to be in crisis to benefit from psychic guidance. But it's especially powerful when:
You feel stuck and logic isn't helping – You've tried all the strategies, done all the mindset work, and something still feels off.
You need clarity on a decision – Your mind is spinning, and you can't see the path forward.
You're carrying unresolved grief, guilt, or relational wounds – Something from the past is still weighing on you.
You want confirmation that you're on the right path – You're doing the work, but you need validation that it's working.
You need to understand what's blocking you energetically – The pattern keeps repeating, and you don't know why.
What to expect in a session with me
If you're curious about working together, here's what a psychic guidance session looks like:
It's collaborative, not performative. You're not watching me perform. We're working together.
I work with the Akashic Records, spirit guides, and my own intuitive abilities to access the insight and healing that's available to you.
I share what I'm receiving, even if it's symbolic or doesn't make sense to me. It almost always makes sense to you.
You can ask questions, share what resonates, and guide the session based on what you need.
It's grounded, not fluff. I'm not here to tell you what you want to hear. I'm here to share what's true.
Sessions can focus on personal healing, business clarity, or both. Because for most of us, they're not separate.
So, what is psychic guidance?
It's clarity. It's confirmation. It's connection, to spirit, to yourself, to what's possible.
It's not fortune-telling. It's not bypassing. It's not about proving anything.
It's about seeing what you can't see on your own. Healing what's been stuck. And receiving the guidance that's available to you, when you're ready.
