Presence Makes You Psychic (Yes, Really): How to Read Energy 101

In this Sunday solo, Sarah breaks down what “reading subtle energy” actually feels like in real life: soft, fast, surprising, and usually easy to dismiss. She shares how presence (and loosening ego/expectations) strengthens intuition, why most intuitive info doesn’t arrive like a crystal-clear movie or voice memo, and how real-time feedback with a practice partner can change everything. Along the way, she tells powerful stories—like a psychometry exercise that unexpectedly brought through “horse energy,” and a moving reading where a father’s apology, a closet door with white slats, and two dragonflies opened the door to forgiveness, humor, and closure.

• Subtle energy is quiet and quick. If you’re waiting for fireworks, you’ll miss the “pops.”
• Your body is a YES/NO instrument. “Random nope,” “full-body hell yeah,” chills, pressure, emotion shifts—these can be intuitive language.
• Presence is the gateway to presence. To feel Spirit with you, your awareness has to be in the current moment.
• Expectation shrinks the channel. When you “need it to be this,” you filter out the bigger message (and Spirit doesn’t obey ceilings).
• Intuition arrives clean—then the mind narrates. The moment you hesitate, analysis takes over and the signal fades.
• Practice partners create traction. Feedback + intention = learning faster (and trusting yourself sooner).
• Evidence can be both tender and funny. A reading can hold shame + forgiveness + dragonflies + a cocktail-party couple saying “just take it.”
• Guided writing is a real, accessible tool. Calm state + pen moving = a channel for gentle, guiding language.

“Expectation kills openness.”

“For most of my life… I had no idea what reading energy meant. I thought that energy was what I was billed for monthly to keep my electricity running.”
