I recently booked an Intuitive Reading with India Leigh, a spiritual coach, clairvoyant, clairsentient and claircognizant. She offers loads or services virtually, making the entire experience both COVID-friendly and really convenient.

Since this was during the week of my birthday, I wanted to experience wellness in a new sort of way. This time of year is typically reflective and motivating for me with the prospect of another trip around the sun. I figured this would be an ideal time to turn inward and open my eyes to new possibilities and sources of energy and intuition.

Admittedly, I didn’t know much about Intuitive Readings or how they worked, so I picked India’s brain in preparation for our Zoom call. Read on for everything I learned and all about my one-on-one session.

What are Intuitive Readings?

Call it a “gut feeling” or “intuition,” you have an innate inner knowing, a higher power that guides you. Sometimes we just need a little help separating mind chatter from intuition. What I do is connect with the energy of your higher self and your spirit guides in order to receive their messages for you. My job is to help draw awareness to your own higher guidance and confirm with a human voice what your own intuition is telling you.

What to expect during a session:

Through my intuitive readings, spiritual coaching and energy support services, you will begin to clear blockages to get more in touch with your intuition, hear your inner guidance clearly, and heal past wounds that need mending to move forward.

What are Tarot Cards used for?

Think of them as cue cards. I use tarot cards as an insight tool to prompt me with the messages that I am meant to tell you. When I pull cards, it allows me to see what your spirit guides want to talk about.

What is the difference between Clairvoyance, Clairsentience and Claircognizance?

Think of clairvoyance as “clear seeing,” meaning seeing visions of the past, present and future flash through the mind’s eye. Claircognizance is a “clear knowing,” meaning having knowledge of people or events that you would not necessarily have a reason to know about. Clairsentience is “clear feeling,” meaning messages are sent using physical sensation.

My Experience:

I went into my session with India with an open mind, and really enjoyed our conversation. She was easy to chat with and really informative and inviting about the entire process. As we talked she shuffled tarot cards, touching on the symbols that were popping up and how they might be related to my life. I got goosebumps on several occasions as my past memories and current life circumstances were brought up.

Through her gifts, India was able to connect with different energies with messages specifically for me. We discussed spirit guides and angels, giving me all kinds of chills. I was particularly drawn to the subject or angels and archangels, and I can’t wait to check out her entire class on the subject. India offers individual readings, special courses. personal coaching and more—plus she even has a podcast!

Our session was recorded and a link was provided so I can reference back whenever I fancy. I recently listened to it again, experiencing loads of aha moments and further perspective. This experience helped get me connected with my higher self and foster my personal intuition, which I’ll continue to grow.

A Little-Known Side Effect

During the session, I found myself yawning and weirdly enough, burping at several points. I wasn’t lacking sleep and I hadn’t consumed anything that would cause burps but soon learned these are both signs of “confirmation,” a normal part of the process. Go figure!
