Forget the films. No rolling eyes, no strange voices booming out of the dark.

Real trance is quieter than that, and far more interesting.

Trance in one sentence

Trance mediumship is when a medium deliberately steps back from their own awareness so their spirit guides can blend with them more closely, to speak, to heal, or both.

It’s a partnership built on consent and trust. It isn’t possession.

The three levels of trance

Overshadowing. Spirit draws close to the medium’s energy field. The medium is fully aware, but their thoughts quieten and something else begins to guide them.

Light trance. The medium’s mind moves from the driver’s seat to the back seat. They can still hear what’s happening, but they’re no longer steering.

Deep trance. The medium’s personality steps right back. Afterwards they may remember very little.

How the blend works

In my own practice, it starts with breath and music. Slow breathing softens the body and loosens the everyday mind. Music lifts the room and gives the thinking mind somewhere to rest.

Then the guides draw close, first to the aura, then mind to mind. One guide takes charge of the connection, protecting the medium and everyone present. Healing guides work through the medium on physical, emotional and spiritual levels, often drawing on the combined energy of the whole group. When spirit speaks, it uses the medium’s voice, and the pace, tone and vocabulary often change.

When the work is done, the guides withdraw gently and the medium returns.

None of this comes quickly. Trance is built over years of sitting: regular, patient time spent simply making yourself available to spirit.

An old tradition

Trance has deep roots. In 1857 the French educator Allan Kardec published The Spirits’ Book, built from more than a thousand questions put to spirit through mediums.

In Britain, twentieth-century mediums like Ursula Roberts, Ivy Northage and Alec Harris carried the work forward. Ivy’s guide, Chan, lectured through her at the College of Psychic Studies, where I later trained.

What it’s like to sit in the room

If you attend a trance healing evening, you’re not the one in trance. You just sit, breathe and receive. People often report:

• Heat, coolness or tingling
• The air becoming dense and still
• Heaviness, like sinking into the chair
• A dreamy, relaxed state
• Unexpected tears or relief

Some feel nothing in the moment and then sleep more deeply than they have in weeks. All of it is normal.

What surprises most first-timers is that they’re part of it. The sitters’ energy adds to the power in the room. You don’t need experience or belief, only willingness.

Is it safe?

Good trance work is opened, protected and closed with care. As a sitter, you stay fully yourself and can open your eyes or step out at any time. It’s a complementary spiritual practice that works alongside medical and psychological care, never in place of it.

The part nobody talks about

In my experience, the biggest factor in how deeply someone receives isn’t belief in spirit. It’s belief in themselves. Spirit meets you at whatever door you’re willing to open, and self-worth is the hinge.

When we love ourselves, we love others freely and without attachment.

Why do we repeatedly withdraw, cling, overgive, control or demand perfection from ourselves, even when we know those behaviours are making life more difficult?

Canadian author Lise Bourbeau offers one possible framework in her book The Five Wounds That Prevent You from Being Yourself.

Bourbeau proposes that five fundamental emotional wounds can influence our behaviour:

1. Rejection
2. Abandonment
3. Humiliation
4. Betrayal
5. Injustice

According to her model, we develop a protective “mask” around each wound. The mask helps us avoid feeling the original pain, but it can also perpetuate the pattern we are trying to escape.

This framework belongs to the field of spiritual and personal development. It is not a clinically validated diagnostic system, and its more literal claims should not be treated as medical or psychological fact.

Used with discernment, however, it can provide a helpful language for recognising defensive patterns and approaching them with greater compassion.

1. The wound of rejection and the mask of withdrawal

Rejection is not only the experience of being criticised or excluded. At its deepest, it can create the impression that we do not have the right to exist as we are.

Bourbeau calls its protective mask the Fleeing One or Runner.

Someone protecting a rejection wound may:

• Withdraw from attention
• Struggle to speak in groups
• Escape into imagination or intellectual activity
• Avoid intimacy or visibility
• Use perfectionism to delay being seen
• Interpret criticism as proof of personal unworthiness

The paradox is that withdrawing to avoid rejection can make connection more difficult. The person becomes invisible, then experiences the resulting lack of recognition as further evidence that they do not matter.

Healing begins with taking up an appropriate amount of space: speaking, participating, expressing preferences and allowing work to be seen before it feels perfect.

2. The wound of abandonment and the mask of dependency

The abandonment wound involves the fear of being left without emotional or practical support.

Its mask is the Dependent.

This pattern can lead someone to seek frequent reassurance, remain in unfulfilling relationships or believe they cannot manage without another person’s presence. Loneliness may feel less like a temporary emotional state and more like evidence of being unlovable or forgotten.

The person may also abandon themselves by:

• Neglecting their needs
• Giving up on personally meaningful projects
• Waiting for approval before acting
• Making another person responsible for their emotional security

Healing does not require becoming entirely self-sufficient. Healthy interdependence matters. The work is to develop enough inner stability that connection becomes a choice rather than a desperate attempt to avoid oneself.

3. The wound of humiliation and the mask of self denial

Humiliation creates shame around our needs, bodies, feelings or desires. We learn that expressing ourselves may expose us to ridicule, disapproval or degradation.

Bourbeau used the term Masochist for this mask. In contemporary language, it may be more helpful to describe it as self-denial or compulsive self-sacrifice.

Someone carrying this pattern may:

• Put everyone else’s needs first
• Take responsibility for other adults
• Feel guilty when resting or receiving
• Struggle to ask for help
• Make themselves indispensable
• Feel resentful about obligations they accepted automatically

Helping others is not the problem. The pattern becomes harmful when generosity requires the disappearance of the giver.

Healing begins with recognising personal needs before agreeing to carry more. A thoughtful no can sometimes be more honest than a resentful yes.

4. The wound of betrayal and the mask of control

The betrayal wound concerns broken trust, unmet promises and disappointed expectations.

Its mask is the Controller.

Control can offer temporary relief from uncertainty. If we manage every detail, make every decision and depend on no one, perhaps we cannot be betrayed again.

But this protection carries a price. It can create exhaustion, conflict and difficulty receiving support. It may also prevent others from demonstrating that they are trustworthy.

This pattern may appear as:

• Difficulty delegating
• Suspicion of other people’s motives
• Anger when plans change
• High expectations of oneself and others
• Reluctance to show vulnerability
• A strong need to determine the outcome

Healing involves practising discernment without demanding certainty. Letting go does not mean becoming passive. It means loosening our attachment to one precise result and learning that we can respond even when life departs from the plan.

5. The wound of injustice and the mask of rigidity

The injustice wound develops around feeling undervalued, misunderstood or appreciated primarily for achievement and good behaviour.

Its mask is the Rigid One.

A person protecting this wound may appear capable, disciplined and self-controlled while privately struggling with pressure and harsh self-judgment.

Common patterns include:

• Perfectionism
• Difficulty admitting mistakes
• Emotional restraint
• Discomfort receiving affection
• Inability to recognise personal limits
• Focusing on what remains undone
• Anger directed inward

The pursuit of fairness may coexist with deep unfairness towards oneself.

Healing involves permitting imperfection. It means recognising sensitivity as part of strength and allowing rest, pleasure and emotion without first earning them through flawless performance.

Recognition is not diagnosis

Many people can recognise themselves in more than one wound. Different masks may also become active in different relationships or circumstances.

The purpose is not to decide, “I am a Runner,” or, “I am a Controller,” and turn a protective response into a permanent identity.

A more constructive question is:

Which protection becomes active when I feel unsafe, and what is it trying to prevent me from feeling?

That question creates space between the trigger and the reaction.

Instead of automatically disappearing, clinging, overgiving, controlling or hardening, we can begin to choose another response.

Healing the person beneath the mask

A protective mask is not evidence that something is fundamentally wrong with us. It usually developed because, at some point, it offered a way to manage pain.

Healing does not require attacking that protection. It asks us to understand it, appreciate why it appeared and notice whether it still serves us.

We might say inwardly:

“I recognise what you are trying to protect.”

“I understand why this response once felt necessary.”

“I can choose differently now.”

Over time, the mask becomes less automatic.

We take our place without apologising.

We enjoy connection without abandoning ourselves.

We help without becoming responsible for everyone.

We trust thoughtfully without trying to control every outcome.

We pursue excellence without making perfection the price of self-worth.

The wound may remain part of our story, but it no longer has to write every chapter.

Nobody tells you this about mediumship: it doesn’t select for confidence.
If anything, it seems to prefer the opposite.

For years I mistook my resistance to being visible as a sign I wasn’t ready, or wasn’t really called to this. I had the gift, that was never the question. What I couldn’t get past was everything that came attached to using it out loud: being known as that person, the one who speaks to the dead, who says things in a room full of strangers that she has no ordinary way of knowing. So I made myself small on purpose. No website. No audience. A handful of people, in private, where I could still tell myself this wasn’t really happening yet.

It took me a long time to understand why that instinct to disappear wasn’t actually a problem. Spirit, in my experience, doesn’t move toward people chasing a platform. It moves toward the ones who’d rather not be seen at all, because the second the messenger starts wanting the spotlight for themselves, the message stops being able to move cleanly through them. Wanting to disappear, it turns out, was never the obstacle. It might have been the qualification.

But there was something I hadn’t accounted for: joy doesn’t stay hidden, even when you ask it to.

Every time I sat across from someone and watched a message land, watched their face shift because a mother, a child, an old friend had reached them one more time, something in me switched on that nothing else reaches. Not the healing work, not teaching, not even Reiki, which I’ve devoted years of my life to. This was its own current entirely, and it got harder to pretend otherwise with every session.

It wasn’t demanding more volume from me. It was demanding more honesty. Every sitting made it a little clearer that I couldn’t keep living split between two versions of my life, one who does this work fully, and one who keeps performing a smaller, more palatable story for everyone watching. I’ve tried retreating to the smaller version more than once. It never lasts. It always leads back to the same threshold.

So I’ve stopped treating my own visibility as a cost of doing this work. The joy of it was never a side effect to apologise for, it’s the actual point. It feeds something in me nothing else touches, and it seems to do something similar for the people who receive it.

If Spirit had wanted someone at ease with attention, it had plenty of other options. It chose someone who’d rather not be looked at, and asked her to walk forward anyway, for the sake of what was trying to come through.

I’m walking forward now. And I built something for the people walking a version of this same road, a few steps behind me.

It’s called From Reiki to Mediumship, an eight-week course for Reiki practitioners whose Reiji-hō has started to feel like it’s opening into something more than energy work: a presence, an impression, a nudge that doesn’t quite have a name yet. We move one Clair at a time, from sensing into communicating, at a pace that respects how unsettling this shift can feel, because it was unsettling for me too.

You don’t need to want the spotlight to do this work. You only need to stop running from it.

Long before I ever held a Reiki attunement, I was already walking with spirit. That connection didn’t arrive from a class or a certification — it was there when I was small, before I had language for what I was sensing. Trance work and spirit contact weren’t new disciplines I discovered as an adult; they were how I’d always moved through the world. Reiki came much later — one more tool I picked up to structure and share a connection I’d already been living with for years.

For skeptics reading this who’ve never touched Reiki: think of the underlying skill less as mysticism and more as a trained sensitivity, the same way a physical therapist develops hands that can feel a muscle imbalance a scan might miss. Practitioners who spend years attuned to subtle shifts in the body and energy field sometimes start noticing things that don’t fit neatly into the healing-modality box they were trained in. That’s what this post is about.

If you’ve been feeling a pull lately, past the healing table, past the hands-on work, toward something less controlled and more received, you’re not imagining it, and you’re not alone.

A lot of Reiki practitioners hit this point. You’ve done the training. You can move energy confidently, hold space for a client’s healing, feel a room shift under your hands. And then, somewhere in the middle of a session, something else brushes past, a name, an image, a sentence that isn’t yours. You set it aside because it isn’t why you’re there. But it keeps knocking.

Why Reiki Is the Right Foundation, Not a Detour

Mediumship isn’t a different discipline that happens to use similar language. It’s Reiki’s natural next room, and the door only opens safely because of work practitioners have already done.

The boundary work central to any serious Reiki practice, energetic hygiene, shielding, closing down fully between sessions, knowing exactly where your energy is leaking, isn’t separate from mediumship training. It’s the prerequisite for it. Channeling a message from spirit safely requires the same skill as channeling healing energy safely: knowing precisely where you end and the energy you’re working with begins.

A practitioner who hasn’t built that boundary work first can open as a channel and come out of it depleted, foggy, or carrying things that were never theirs to carry. A practitioner who has, someone who already shields before a session, cuts cords after a hard one, and can tell the difference between “this is my feeling” and “this simply passed through me”, has already built the container mediumship needs to be safe, clear, and sustainable.

What Actually Changes Between Reiki and Mediumship

In Reiki, you direct energy toward healing. In mediumship, you open as a clear channel and let information move throughyou toward someone else. The direction changes. The receptivity required changes. But the underlying skill, staying grounded and boundaried while something moves through your field, is the same skill, taken one level deeper.

This is exactly why Reiki practitioners often become the clearest, safest mediums. They already know how to hold a boundary while staying open-hearted. This course builds the specific skills, connecting with the spirit realm, receiving clearly, and delivering messages with discernment and integrity, on top of a foundation practitioners have already spent years laying, instead of starting from zero.

What’s Inside From Reiki to Mediumship

• Format: 8-week live course via Zoom, plus lifetime access to recordings
• What you’ll learn: opening safely as a channel, distinguishing your own energy from a spirit’s, receiving and delivering messages with integrity, closing down fully afterward…
• Who it’s for: practitioners holding a Reiki Level I attunement or above

This Course Is for You If:

• You’ve felt something move through you during a session that wasn’t part of the healing itself
• You trust your energetic instincts but want proper training before you act on them
• You already do the boundary work, shielding, grounding, closing do, and you’re ready to put it toward something new
• You’ve been waiting for permission to take this seriously. Consider this it.

Ready to Step Through the Next Door?

You don’t need to have it all figured out. You need a safe, trained container to explore it in, and a teacher who has spent a lifetime in both worlds and won’t ask you to open further than you’re ready for.

If this named something for you, a clap or a follow helps this reach more practitioners who need to read it.

This one came out of my own week. I caught myself over-explaining a decision to someone I love for the third time and realised, mid-sentence, that I was leaking energy in real time, which is exactly what this post is about.

You leave your mother’s house feeling like someone unplugged you. You get off a call with a friend who “just needed to vent” and you can’t remember what you were excited about an hour ago. You mention your new idea to the wrong person and, within days, the spark feels gone, like the air has already been let out of it.

If you’re an empath or you’d call yourself sensitive, you already know energy leaks are real. What’s harder to find is where they’re actually happening. Most advice stops at “protect your energy,” as if that’s a switch you can flip. It isn’t. Protection only works once you know exactly which door is open.

So let’s diagnose it properly. Here are the six most common places your energy leaks out, and the seal for each one.

What an Energy Leak Actually Is

Think of your energy field less like a mood and more like a house. A house doesn’t lose its heat all at once, it loses it through small, specific cracks: a window that doesn’t quite close, a door left ajar, a draft under the baseboards. You don’t fix that by turning the heat up. You fix it by finding the crack.

Energy leaks work the same way. They’re rarely one big event. They’re small, repeated, often invisible habits, most of them involving the people you love most, because those are the connections with the least resistance.

The Six Leaks (and Their Seals)

1. The Over-explainer’s Leak
You justify a decision to a family member three different ways because their first reaction wasn’t the one you wanted. Every time you over-explain yourself to someone who was never going to be satisfied, you hand them a piece of your energy along with your words.
The seal: Say your decision once, plainly, and let the silence after it stand. “I’ve decided to do it this way” is a complete sentence. It doesn’t need a defence attached.

2. The Guilt Leak
You stay on the phone fifteen minutes past the point where the conversation turned into complaint, gossip, or someone else’s crisis. not because you have anything left to give, but because leaving felt rude. Guilt is one of the most efficient energy leaks there is, because it keeps you in the room long after your body has already left.
The seal: Decide your exit line before the conversation starts, if you can feel it coming. “I have to go, but I’m glad you called” ends things with love and without negotiation.

3. The Absorption Leak
You walk into your parents’ house calm and walk out carrying a mood that was never yours to begin with: their tension, their disappointment, their old argument replaying in a new outfit. This is the most common leak for empaths specifically, and the hardest to notice in the moment, because it doesn’t feel like their feeling. It feels like yours.
The seal: Before you enter a charged space, put one hand on your chest and silently set the intention: “I am here, and what’s mine is mine, and what’s theirs stays theirs.” It sounds simple. It works because it re-draws a line your nervous system can actually feel.

4. The Broadcast Leak
You tell too many people about the idea, the relationship, the plan before it has any roots. Every telling, especially to someone who isn’t fully in your corner, spends a little of the energy that idea needed to actually take form. This is the leak nobody warns you about, because our culture rewards “sharing your journey” out loud. But an idea is a seed, and seeds don’t grow because you dug them up to show people they exist.
The seal: Keep yourself for yourself. Let the people who need to know, know. Let everyone else meet the idea when it’s already real. Silence isn’t secrecy, it’s how something young gets strong enough to survive contact with the world.

5. The Cord Leak
After an intense conversation, argument, or even just time spent with someone who’s hard for you, an energetic thread stays attached, which is why you can still feel a person hours or days after you’ve left them. This is especially true with family, because those connections are old and well-worn.
The seal: At the end of the day, or right after a hard interaction, visualise the cord between you and that person, and imagine cutting it with light or a blade of your choosing; with compassion for both of you, not anger. You’re not severing the relationship. You’re just taking back the thread that was never meant to run all day, every day.

6. The Unprotected Leak
You walk into a room, a family gathering, a group chat, a work meeting, with no shield up at all, the way you’d walk outside in winter without a coat because it “seemed fine earlier.” This is the leak that makes you most vulnerable to the heavier stuff: gossip aimed at you, envy, and yes, what many traditions call psychic attack.
The seal: A thirty-second shielding practice before anything you know will be charged. Picture light, gold, white, whatever feels true to you, surrounding your entire body, an arm’s length out in every direction. State, even silently: “Only what is for my highest good may enter here.” Do it before you walk in, not after you’re already drained.

Jealousy, Envy, and Psychic Attack Are Real — Let’s Not Pretend Otherwise

Most wellness content tiptoes around this part, but you deserve a straight answer: envy carries energy, gossip carries energy, and yes, some people direct that energy toward you, consciously or not, when your growth makes them uncomfortable. You’ve likely felt it: a wave of unexplained heaviness after sharing good news, a sudden exhaustion around a specific person, a string of bad luck that started right after a falling-out. None of that makes you dramatic. It makes you perceptive.

Two things are true at once here. First, protection matters: the shielding, the cord-cutting, the boundaries below are not optional extras, they’re maintenance. Second, if you’re experiencing persistent fatigue, pain, or distress, please also see a doctor or therapist alongside any spiritual practice. Energetic protection and medical or mental health care aren’t in competition, they work together, and one is never a substitute for the other.

The most reliable protection against envy and ill-wishing isn’t retaliation or fear. It’s staying grounded, staying quiet about what matters most to you until it’s strong enough to withstand attention, and meeting even someone else’s jealousy with compassion instead of matching their charge. Energy that can’t find a crack has nowhere to get in.

Grounding Through Gravity

Most grounding advice asks you to imagine roots growing from your feet; lovely, but abstract when you’re standing in your in-laws’ kitchen with your jaw clenched. Try this instead: let gravity do the work it’s already doing.

Stand or sit, and instead of reaching for a visualisation, simply notice the weight of your body being pulled down and held by the earth beneath you. Feel your feet pressing into the floor, your seat pressing into the chair. You are not floating above this moment, managing it from a safe distance , you are held by something larger than the situation in the room. That downward pull isn’t a threat. It’s an anchor. Thirty seconds of feeling genuinely, physically held is often more grounding than five minutes of trying to picture something.

A Simple Daily Energetic Hygiene Ritual

You don’t need an hour-long routine. You need consistency.

Morning (2 minutes): Before you check your phone, do the shielding practice above. You’re choosing what gets in before the day chooses for you.

Night (2 minutes): Cut any cords from the day that need cutting. Ask yourself honestly: whose energy am I still carrying? Then set it down.

Weekly: A salt bath, a shower with the intention of washing off what isn’t yours, or simply a few minutes of movement or sound to shake off anything stagnant.

Keep Yourself for Yourself

If there’s one thread running through all six leaks, it’s this: your energy isn’t rude for having a door with a lock on it. You’re allowed to hold your plans close, end a conversation before it drains you, feel a family member’s mood without adopting it as your own, and protect your peace from people who’ve never once had to earn access to it.

None of this makes you distant. It makes you someone with something left to give, to the people who’ve actually earned it, and to the work you came here to do.

If any of this found you, you don’t have to hold your field together alone. If you’d rather go deeper one-on-one, untangling a specific cord, working through a pattern with a particular person, or just remembering what it feels like to be steady in your own field again, you can book a 1:1 Reiki Intuitive Guidance session with me. And if this is a season where you’re ready to learn to do this work for yourself and hold it for others, my Reiki 1 courses are open for enrolment.

Which leak did you recognise yourself in first? I’d love to know, a clap or a follow helps this reach more people who need it.

Some collaborations feel ordained. Not planned, not pitched, just recognised the moment they arrive.

When Stella Yann of BIG SOULS, BIG IDEAS reached out to feature me in the Lightworker’s Hub, something in me settled. This wasn’t just an interview. It was a meeting of missions, two Souls who have each walked a long, sometimes solitary path, choosing in this moment to turn toward each other and say: let’s illuminate this road together.

That is what Lightworkers do. We find each other.

One of the things I deeply appreciate about Stella’s work is her genuine commitment to helping people reconnect with their spiritual gifts and their inner wisdom. She doesn’t approach this as a content creator ticking a box, she approaches it as someone who understands, from the inside, what it means to be on a path that the world doesn’t always have language for. There is a warmth and an integrity to everything she puts out into the world, and this article is no exception.

The piece brings together a range of voices and experiences, reminding us that there is no single way to walk a spiritual path. We each carry our own medicine, our own gifts, our own unique way of serving the world. And when those paths cross, when two Souls in service to the same Light choose to co-create, something is ignited that neither could have sparked alone.

The article is now live, and I am genuinely moved by what we co-created. Stella has a gift for drawing out the truth in people, not the rehearsed answer, not the polished brand statement, but the living, breathing knowing that sits underneath all of it. She asked the questions that mattered, and what emerged in our conversation reminded me, again, of why I do this work.

👉 What’s Your Lightworker Gift?

One of the questions Stella asked me was what it truly means to be a Reiki Teacher. And my answer came without hesitation, because it is something I have lived, not just learned:

“Being a Reiki Teacher means guiding people back to their own innate power.”

Not giving them something they don’t have. Not filling an empty vessel. Guiding them back. Because the capacity was always there, it was simply conditioned out of us. Layer by layer, year by year, we were taught to distrust what we felt, to dismiss what we sensed, to explain away what we knew. Reiki doesn’t add something foreign. It removes the interference. It clears the static so you can finally hear yourself again.

That is what I have witnessed in every student who has passed through my teaching space. The moment of reconnection. The look in their eyes when they realise, oh. I can feel this. I have always been able to feel this.

It never gets old.

If you’ve been reading these words and feeling something stir, a recognition, a pull, a quiet voice saying this is for me, I want you to pay attention to that. That is not coincidence. That is your Soul speaking in the only language it knows: resonance.

This September, I am bringing Reiki Level 1 Shoden to Brighton for the very first time. This is not a standard Reiki course. It is a full initiation into your intuitive gifts, a day that will attune you to Universal Life Force Energy, open you to the 8 Clairs, and give you the practical, embodied tools to begin working with energy in your own life, on your own terms.

Whether you are brand new to energy work, or you’ve been circling this door for years without stepping through, Shoden is the beginning. And beginnings are sacred.

👉 Reiki Level 1 Shoden — A Doorway to Your Intuitive Gifts

Thank you, Stella, for the gift of this collaboration, for asking the questions that called something true out of me, and for creating a space where Lightworkers can find each other across the noise of the world.

And thank you to everyone who reads, shares, and carries this work forward. Every Soul who finds their way to these words is part of something much larger than any one of us.

We are never truly alone in Spirit. ✨

We are currently living through an unprecedented period of vibratory acceleration on Earth, with rapid changes unfolding that can generate fatigue, physical symptoms, confusion, amplified emotions or a loss of bearings.

These states are often associated with Ascension symptoms.

But not always…

In this article, I offer you some reference points to help distinguish between the natural Ascension process and certain energetic disturbances. At the same time, we are experiencing a major wave of psychic attacks directed at Lightworkers.

The intention is not to create fear, but to help you tell the difference between Ascension symptoms and psychic attacks, to reclaim your discernment, to better understand what you are going through, to re-centre yourself and to protect yourself.

Ascension Symptoms 2026

Hello everyone, I hope you are well. We are currently living through an unprecedented period of vibratory acceleration on Earth, where many rapid changes are taking place. This can create a great deal of confusion, doubt, fear, and what we call Ascension symptoms, and many of us are feeling them.

But alongside this, there has also been for some time now a major wave of psychic attacks specifically targeting Lightworkers, and I think many of us have felt it recently. In this blog post I want to talk about all of this, and the good news is that when we are able to tell the difference between an Ascension symptom and a psychic attack, it helps us enormously in developing discernment, and also in understanding how we can protect ourselves.

I’ll begin with the Ascension symptoms, which this year in 2026 are very strongly focused on the physical body. The physical body right now is taking quite a hit.

Many of us are experiencing quite a few physical symptoms. These can be things that were already present in previous years, sitting latently, and that are now rising more forcefully because they need greater attention in order to be fully transmuted and healed. New things can also be emerging. You might suddenly come down with an illness and find yourself in a phase of transmutation and healing.

And why is the body speaking to us so much more strongly right now? Quite simply because we have just closed a major healing cycle, last year, many of us undertook a deep inner journey at the emotional and karmic levels. And given the vibratory acceleration currently happening on Earth, and the frequencies arriving here, these very high, luminous frequencies reaching us from our sun, which itself receives them from the central sun, there is a great deal of activation, a great deal of change. And these changes operate at the energetic, emotional, mental and spiritual levels.

And I want to say that the physical level comes last, it is the densest level, and the densest is also the slowest. So it is completely natural that the body arrives a little behind. It is the last to be able to make this transformation and transition, and it takes longer. It’s as though it’s running a little late, and that is entirely normal, because once again, it is the material, physical aspect: denser, and therefore slower.

So it is tremendously important to truly care for your physical body right now. Throughout the rest of this year, and I would say always, we should always pay attention to our bodies; but specifically if you are experiencing physical symptoms. Really do pay attention to your diet. There can be significant shifts happening at the nutritional level.

I myself, even though I already had quite a healthy dietary base, feel the need to go a little further, to eliminate certain foods that may no longer suit me, to move towards what we call living food to have more energy, and to be mindful of the water I drink, and so on. There are all these small readjustments that can begin to take shape and that are genuinely connected to these vibratory changes.

Obviously it is also important to care directly for the body, that might mean going for therapies, treatments, massages, a little spa time, detox sessions. Allowing the body to release all the densities it no longer needs. The toxins exist at the mental and emotional levels, but of course at the physical level too. All of this needs to pass through the body as well. So it is truly vital to listen to your body and to take care of it with great tenderness.

Sleep

Another aspect we may be experiencing in relation to these Ascension symptoms, and this is nothing new, is sleep. And yes, sleep can be genuinely disrupted right now. This can range from insomnia to nocturnal waking, or waking up and being unable to fall back to sleep. Perhaps you find yourself waking around 3am, which is often a particularly significant hour, and you cannot get back to sleep.

What is important to understand is that we download an enormous amount of information and energy during our sleep. A great deal is happening for us at night, at the astral level, and also at the energetic level, that we need to integrate. And so once again, this can create real sleep disturbances.

So it remains important to listen to your sleep. If you are having difficult nights, do not hesitate during the day, when you have the opportunity, to take a nap or simply to lie down, relax and breathe, to calm your nervous system.

Because the nervous system, I have had the opportunity to speak about this before — is also overheating right now. Vibratory acceleration means a much more activated nervous system: more fire, more electrical energy. And if we are not careful, we can truly be swept away by it. So calming the nervous system is also genuinely fundamental at this time.

Dreams

During sleep, there can of course be dreams, and we may find ourselves dreaming of things from the past, things from the past resurfacing, as well as shadow aspects rising through our dreams. This often takes the form of metaphor, since dreams tend to operate symbolically. If you have not yet explored dream analysis, it might be worth noting your dreams and trying to interpret them, because they can offer you real messages and hidden understanding. As I say, dreams speak the language of the unconscious, and what is unconscious is, by definition, not yet conscious. Bringing it into consciousness is also part of this spiritual evolution we are moving through, so that we can cleanse those unconscious layers.

A Wave of Psychic Attacks

For the past few weeks, Lightworkers have been experiencing a major wave of psychic attacks from the shadow, which can manifest in various forms. And why is this happening right now?

This is not the first time it has happened, of course, but I felt a real need to speak about it. It is not something I address often, those of you who know me will know that. But there was a genuine need to bring this forward, because it is part of this great spiritual battle.

It is the final battle. And right now, we Lightworkers are reaching a point of culmination in our spiritual evolution. As I was saying, we are receiving all these elevated frequencies from our sun, which have a direct effect on the activation of certain dormant inner codes, particularly at the level of our DNA. The strands of DNA that have been dormant are becoming crystalline DNA. Real transformation is taking place. And once again, this transformation has an impact on the physical body, which is why the physical body may also be finding things harder at this time.

But on the side of those who serve the shadow, they have no desire for Lightworkers to develop, to grow, to remember who they truly are, to truly step into their full potential and full power. That is why these attacks are happening.

Personal Psychic Attacks

At a personal level, the attacks I experienced began specifically when I turned my attention to my Voodoo Lineage. I was truly guided to reconnect with Voodoo knowledge and its associated rituals

Following that, during the night, I received very clear attacks, because there are forces that do not want us to remember, that do not want us to access this knowledge again. It felt like an attempt at blocking these reconnections.

How Do the Attacks Happen?

So how do these attacks unfold? Primarily, they do not necessarily operate at the physical level. They can of course have effects on the physical body in certain cases, but for Lightworkers in general, it is above all at the astral level that this takes place.

So again, this can happen during the night, during dreams. There can be attacks during our sleep, very dark dreams, dreams in which we feel truly gripped by fear, and we wake suddenly in the night with our heart beating very fast.

There can also be attacks at the emotional, mental and energetic levels, these take the form of a kind of parasitising of our emotions and our thoughts. Suddenly we feel a great deal of doubt. Suddenly we feel waves of fear arising from nowhere. We find ourselves in real emotional instability and cannot find our way out of it. That is truly what it feels like when we are being reached, when we are parasitised at the emotional, mental or energetic level.

There can also sometimes be visions, dark images, violent images being sent to us. Or we may hear voices that are violent or that suggest very negative things. All of this is what we call interference, parasiting, or simply infiltration.

And then there are psychic attacks that come through other people. Often they will pass through people who are close to us, people who are in a very low vibratory state, or who are quite simply organic portals, and they will use that person we encounter to channel certain dark energies, certain negative forces, and sometimes outright black magic.

This can happen through certain people, particularly those who carry jealousy or envy towards you. If someone is jealous of you, envious of you, that is already clearly a form of black magic. So when someone is jealous or envious, most of the time it happens at the unconscious level of course, but that negative projection onto you creates something like a form of black magic. And on the other side, those who serve the shadow will also use that person to amplify the phenomenon further.

How to Protect Yourself from Attacks

Here I am speaking specifically about psychic attacks, not Ascension symptoms. Ascension symptoms are something natural, something organic. Psychic attacks, on the other hand, are something we can be mindful of and protect ourselves from, not always perfectly, there will be moments when some energies slip through. But here are the foundations.

1. Lifestyle hygiene

The first thing I want to share is the importance of your lifestyle. When your lifestyle is truly clean and grounded, it becomes much harder to be parasitised. Good sleep, physical activity, a healthy diet, a meditative, spiritual and energetic practice, that is the absolute foundation.

2. Grounding

Next comes grounding, being truly connected to Mother Earth. The more scattered we are, the more access points are left open. But when we are truly grounded, and this is what I’m being shown right now, it relates to electricity. Electrical sockets with an earth connection are far more stable and solid. And it is exactly the same for us. So do not hesitate to practise grounding regularly.

3. Meditation, prayer and spiritual help

Then there is everything that falls under meditation, prayer and calling on spiritual assistance. Do not hesitate to call upon whatever spiritual support resonates with you most. Archangel Michael is obviously very powerful for protection, but you can call on any ascended master, angel or archangel to help you and protect you, to place a shield of light around you, your loved ones, your home.

4. Metals

There is also something that perhaps receives less attention, but which is truly powerful and is found across many spiritual traditions. Our body has one side that is more vulnerable than the other, and that is the left side. The left side can clearly be an entry point for these energies.

So how do we protect it? Simply by wearing certain metals. Copper in particular, you can wear a copper bracelet on your left wrist. But ideally you would wear copper, brass, gold and silver. These four metals worn on the body permanently act as the ideal lightning rod for these energies. They deflect and prevent these energies from entering you. And again, there is a direct parallel with electricity.

5. Stones and talismans

There is also everything in the realm of crystals and stones, and here it is truly a matter of which stone calls to you personally. In the Indian tradition, there are also talismans that can be worn, incorporating several stones each representing a connection to one of the planets of our solar system. These act as a form of protection against planetary transits, which can also be very interesting.

6. Zones of vulnerability

What is also important to understand is that these energies enter primarily through our weak points. Each person will have different vulnerabilities. But there is genuinely greater vulnerability on the left side of the body, and also at the base of the neck and the lower back.

The back of the neck is called ‘the palace of wind’ in Chinese medicine. And the lower back corresponds to the kidneys, another very significant zone that truly needs protection. For those who are clairvoyant or highly sensitive, these areas can clearly be entry points, and you may experience pain, migraines, or even symptoms around the eyes. There are quite a few symptoms appearing at the eye level right now too.

7. Stop scattering your energy

Something else that is truly important: we must stop scattering our energy. The more energetically scattered we are, the more fractured we become, and the more vulnerable. So let us stop constantly looking here, looking there, being in front of screens all the time, scrolling endlessly, being perpetually pulled outside of ourselves. The more we are pulled outward, the more we are spread thin. Our energy goes outward, in all directions, everywhere but here.

And that creates vulnerability. It creates open doors for these energies. So truly set the intention to gather your energy back, to bring it home, inward, to your centre, and to simply cut away the distractions and pointless entertainments that fragment your attention. To truly recentre yourself energetically.

And obviously, when we are in a low vibration, when we feel fear, sadness, when we are not doing well, when we feel crushed psychically or emotionally, and granted, we are not always helped by the environment around us, particularly in certain geographic areas where there is a real heaviness that can be felt, and that is deliberately placed. we will be more vulnerable, because these beings feed on those energies. They will do everything to keep us there. And so we can easily find ourselves in vicious circles. So it is truly important to become more conscious and more present to what we are moving through. We have every right to feel human emotions, sadness, anger, fear, we have every right to move through them. But not to stay in them indefinitely and become energetic food for these beings.

A Practice to Share

I wanted to share a simple practice with you. You can do it as a ritual, or you can do it right now if you feel called to.

Simply through your intention, call back all the scattered energies that belong to you. Bring them back to your centre. Breathe deeply, a slow, deep breath, and through your intention, through visualisation, bring all those dispersed energies back into yourself. Recentre. Reground.

Affirmations

If these resonate with you, you can say them regularly:

I allow all the energies I have left behind or given to others to return to me now.

I allow my seven chakras to be fully restored now.

I anchor myself in the crystal heart of Mother Earth.

Reclaiming Your Inner Power and Abundance

And obviously, when we are stable, grounded and centred, we are less vulnerable. We return to our natural state of balance. Our nervous system settles, and a true alignment begins to take place, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, energetically. And it is in this way that we ultimately recover our full potential, our inner power, which is also connected to our inner abundance.

And when that stability settles in, we become less vulnerable not only to psychic attacks, but also to the collective energies that are so stirred up right now. Even when we are a little destabilised, we find our way back to that state of equilibrium much more easily.

And obviously, those who serve the shadow do not want us to access this abundance, which is our divine birthright. They do not want us to access our full power, our inner strength, they want us to remain in fear. They want to keep us in that fear, and particularly in the fear of lack.

And what is important to understand is that abundance is first and foremost a state of being, it is a frequency. When we vibrate abundance, when we become abundance, when we reconnect with that power, a form of stability and alignment opens up across all levels.

Much Love,
Cindy 🙏

If you have felt unusually sensitive over the last few days, heavier, more porous, more easily overwhelmed, you are not imagining it, and you are not alone.

Many empaths and healers are reporting the same thing right now: a kind of energetic intensity that comes in waves. It builds, it pulls back, then it builds again. For those of you who are highly attuned, this can feel disorienting, like something is shifting, but you can’t quite name what.

I want to offer some context, and a way of understanding this that might bring you some peace.

You are not broken. You are connected.

When a collective of sensitive people opens up, to abundance, to growth, to the next stage of their path, that opening is felt energetically by everyone tuned to that frequency. Not just your own emotions, but the emotions of others moving through similar thresholds, can arrive in your body as if they were yours.

This is one of the most overlooked truths about being an empath: so much of what you feel was never only yours to begin with.

This is also, at its core, what energy healing has always been about.

Energy healing is not a technique. It is a perceptual awakening.

Reiki, shamanic healing, pranic healing, sound healing, the forms differ, but what is actually happening underneath each one is the same. The practitioner, and eventually the student, is being guided back to a way of perceiving that has always been their birthright.

The 8 Clairs are simply a map of that territory. Clairsentience, clairvoyance, claircognisance, and the rest are not special abilities reserved for the few. They are the natural senses every human being is born witw, senses that most of us were taught, gently or not so gently, not to trust.

Think about how this happens. A child says, “I don’t like that person, something feels wrong.” An adult responds, “Don’t be rude, you don’t even know them.” A child says, “I had a dream this would happen, and now it has.” An adult responds, “What a coincidence.” Bit by bit, the message lands: what you sense is not reliable. What you feel is not information. Trust only what can be seen, measured, explained.

But the senses don’t disappear. They just go underground, showing up as “random” anxiety, as exhaustion after being around certain people, as a gut feeling you override and then regret overriding. Energy healing, in any tradition, is the slow process of bringing those senses back into the light. Not adding something new to you, recovering something that was always there, simply waiting for permission.

My great grandma never called what she carried “energy healing.” She simply knew the world was alive, and that it communicated, if you were willing to listen. Reiki was the language I later found for something she had already given me.

This is why, when I teach, I don’t think of myself as the healer in the room. I think of myself as the introducer. The one who says: this has always been here, waiting for you to turn toward it.

What to do when it feels like a lot

If you’re feeling this intensity right now, here is what tends to help:

Ground, physically. Time outdoors, bare feet on earth, or simply placing both hands flat on a wall or tree can help discharge what doesn’t belong to you.

Breathe with intention. Slow inhale through the nose, longer exhale out. This alone can settle the nervous system more than people expect.

Notice your body’s signals. Tightness in the solar plexus, restlessness in the feet or hands, sudden shifts in appetite, these are not random. Your body is processing.

Simplify. Lighter food, less noise, fewer obligations for a few days if you can manage it.

A QUICK EXERCISE: IS THIS ENERGY MINE?

The next time you feel a wave of emotion, anxiety, or heaviness arrive seemingly out of nowhere, try this:

1. Pause and place one hand on your chest, one on your stomach.
2. Ask, silently or aloud: “Is this mine?”
3. Notice what happens in your body as you ask. If the feeling is yours, it often stays steady or even intensifies slightly, there is something to look at.
4. If the feeling begins to soften, shift, or feel slightly distant as you ask, it likely isn’t yours. You can simply say, “Thank you, but this isn’t mine to carry,” and visualise releasing it gently, like setting something down rather than throwing it away.

This is not about shutting down your sensitivity. It’s about learning to recognise the difference between what is asking for your attention and what is simply passing through.

If you had told me a few years ago that my daily practice of sitting with clients, placing hands above their bodies, and mapping out the quiet energetic language of the soul would be highlighted in the pages of ELLE UK, I would have smiled and whispered, “Of course. The universe works beautifully.”

But seeing it in print is a completely different kind of magic. In May wellness feature of ELLE UK, my Reiki practice was highlighted alongside a beautiful conversation on how alternative therapies are becoming an extension of our collective well-being.

It was a proud moment, not just for me, but for the affirmation it brings to this work we do together.

As featured in ELLE UK:

“Practitioner Cindy Theodore at Sacred Tones combines her reiki practice with intuitive healing, which allows her to ‘sense where energy is blocked, depleted or overstimulated, and to respond in a way that is specific to the person in front of me.’ Sessions start with a thoughtful conversation to understand your current needs… ‘Reiki helps bring the body out of fight-or-flight and into a state of rest, which allows natural healing processes to take place.’”

The feature beautifully captured the core of my practice: helping people slow down, reconnect with their bodies, and exit the relentless survival mode of modern life. But as I read those words, a deep, familiar stirring began to call me back to where my path expanded. It made me realise that it is time to step fully, unapologetically, back into my Reiki Master Teacher Era.

* * *

Beyond the Box: Why Traditional Reiki Wasn’t Enough

I began teaching Reiki back in 2018. From the very first group of students I initiated, I felt a gentle friction. Don’t get me wrong, the traditional Usui Reiki lineage is a beautiful, sacred foundation. The symbols, the hand positions, and the history are vital anchors. But deep down, I always knew that a standard, checklist-style Reiki curriculum wasn’t enough for the depth of what happens on the table.

Energy is not static, and it certainly doesn’t follow a rigid manual. Healing intelligence carries a voice. It holds memories, textures, visual landscapes, and precise messages. When I place my hands over a client, the energy doesn’t just flow; it speaks. It reveals where emotional patterns are stuck, where an ancestral weight is being held, or where a creative fire has been prematurely snuffed out.

For years, I integrated this intuitive guidance into my 1:1 client work instinctively. But as a teacher, I realised that training someone to simply pass energy through their hands without teaching them how to listen to the whisper of that energy was doing them a disservice. I wanted to teach people how to translate the language of the soul.

What the Children Taught Me

If I ever doubted this innate, conversational nature of energy, it was completely shattered when I had the profound privilege of teaching Reiki to primary school children.

Children do not have the intellectual conditioning, doubts, or analytical walls that adults build over decades. They haven’t been told that “feeling energy” is impossible. When I attuned these young minds to Reiki, the results were nothing short of breathtaking. They didn’t just feel warmth in their palms; they immediately tapped into the intelligence of the healing current.

I watched in awe as children sat with one another, sharing Reiki and then exchanging the most profound, unfiltered truths. A nine-year-old would place their hands on a classmate’s shoulder and say words like, “I see like a gray cloud of sadness near your heart, but I sent it pink light until it smiled,” or “Your mind felt like a heavy, so I told it it was time for bed.”

They effortlessly perceived the energetic and emotional patterns of their peers. They proved what I had always known: the healing intelligence carries specific, beautiful messages meant to be shared, heard, and held. If children can step into their intuitive healing power so purely, imagine what you can unlock when you give yourself permission to remember.

Stepping into the Teacher Era: What’s Coming next

Stepping back into my Reiki Master Teacher Era means I am no longer offering just standard certification courses. I am creating spaces that blend the absolute purity of traditional Reiki training with the expansion of deep intuitive development.

In my upcoming Reiki Level 1 training, you won’t just learn how to channel energy. You will learn how to read its frequency. You will learn to sense when energy is blocked, depleted, or overstimulated, and confidently interpret the underlying emotional blueprint contributing to how you or your clients feel.

As I told ELLE: “Energy work operates best when it supports, rather than replaces, appropriate professional care. But if you’re in need of warm connection, it can feel like a little bit of magic.”

It’s time to bring that magic back into the classroom. Whether you are completely new to energy work, or a practitioner looking to deepen your intuitive ears, I invite you to join me as I open my new teaching courses. All dates for Reiki Level 1 with Intuitive Development are now live on my website.

Reiki the People | Cindy Theodore

I want to speak plainly.

Something is happening to people right now that is not being named clearly enough.

It is not depression, exactly. It is not anxiety in the clinical sense. It is something more diffuse, more collective, a kind of low hum that sits beneath ordinary life. A heaviness that is there when you wake up before you have even reached for your phone. A bracing, as if the body already knows, before the mind has caught up, that the news today will be another thing to absorb.

This is not a personal failing.

This is what it feels like to be a sensitive, conscious human being in 2025 and 2026.

The Weight Has a Name

We are living through a convergence of pressures that has no clean historical parallel.

Political systems that once felt stable are fracturing in real time, on screens, in front of us. The cost of living has not simply risen, it has restructured what is possible for entire generations. Climate grief sits in the background of almost every conversation about the future. Wars are being livestreamed. Social media serves us the worst of human behaviour at the exact moment we are most vulnerable, first thing in the morning, last thing at night.

And we are absorbing all of it.

Not just intellectually. In our bodies.

The nervous system does not distinguish between a threat that is happening to you directly and a threat you are witnessing from a distance. It responds to both. The cortisol releases. The shoulders rise. The jaw tightens. The sleep becomes shallow. The capacity for joy, that uncomplicated, spontaneous joy that used to arrive without effort — becomes harder to access.

And then we wonder why we are exhausted.

What I Am Witnessing

I work as a trance medium and shamanic healer in London. I have been doing this work for years. And what I am seeing in my clients right now is unlike anything I have witnessed before.

People are arriving carrying not just their own pain, but the pain of the world.

Empaths. Sensitives. Old souls. People who feel everything. People who cannot scroll past suffering without it landing somewhere in their body and staying there.

They are doing all the right things. Therapy. Yoga. Journaling. Breathwork. And still, there is something underneath all of that which is not shifting. A residue. A held-in-the-bones kind of heaviness that the conscious mind cannot think its way out of.

This is what I was trained across twenty generations of shamanic lineage to reach.

Why Trance Healing. Why Now.

Trance Healing works at a frequency beneath the analytical mind.

It does not require you to understand what is happening to feel it shift. It does not ask you to reframe your thinking or find the silver lining. It goes directly into the energy field, into the layers of the aura where stress, grief, fear, and collective pain accumulate, and begins to move what has become stuck.

When I enter trance, I am not performing. I am stepping aside. I become a channel for something older and more intelligent than either of us, a healing frequency that knows exactly where to go, what to release, what to restore.

The nervous system, when met in this way, does something extraordinary.

It remembers that it is safe.

Not because the world has become safer. But because safety, real, cellular, bone-deep safety, is not a condition of the external world. It is a state the body can return to, even in the middle of difficulty, when it is given the right conditions.

That is what trance healing creates.

I Made Something For You

Last week I recorded a free 15–20 minute Trance Healing session for Nervous System Reset and put it on YouTube.

No introduction. No lengthy explanation. You close your eyes on the very first words and the healing begins immediately.

I recorded it because I kept seeing the same thing, people who needed this work but could not yet commit to a session. People in different countries, different time zones, different financial situations. People who needed to feel it before they could trust it.

So I gave it away.

In it, we work through the root centre, the solar plexus, and the heart, the three energy centres most dysregulated when the world feels unsafe. We call on ancestral medicine. We seal the field. We send a signal to the nervous system that it does not have to stay in emergency mode.

It is a real transmission. Not a relaxation track. Not ambient noise with a soothing voice over it.

Come and receive it.
