Ishti

Being conscious of creating our lives is a co-creative process, when we tap into our Divine energies. We all want to see our lives in Love and Harmony. Bringing loving kindness and compassion to our environment and all who share that bubble. It can be so very important to remember who we are and what we are doing here. Sometimes a way into this powerful growing can come from understanding ourselves through a reading. My readings are an expression of you. No matter what you might think you need to know, your Guides, Teachers, and Soul have a direct message to tell you. My orientation is just that. Let’s discover together. I have been reading Tarot Cards for most of my life. There was a time when I owned a New Age store and yoga studio. My background has deep roots in Buddhism, Hinduism and just plain waking up to the Christ Consciousness we are all a part of.
