☀️Sausages… eggs… Weetabix… Swiss rolls…

If you’d told me a few years back that while doing Reiki or sound baths, I’d suddenly get random words popping into my head—mostly the name of a food—and then those words would turn into meaningful messages for someone else, I would rolled my eyes and dismissed it with a “yeah right!”’

But yet here I am, hands on someone’s head or banging a gong over them sending out calm and energy, and then out of nowhere — “eggs” pops into my mind. And then, just as mysteriously, it unfolds into a word or image that means something deeply personal to the person I’m working on.

I’ve put off speaking openly about this and only trusted few people with what’s been going on, but it’s growing more and more prominent in my work and I’m ready to trust acknowledging it!

☀️So, What’s Going On Here?

This isn’t me making things up or having an ego moment. It’s actually a kind of psychic gift claircognizance — or “clear knowing.”

Think of your intuition as a speedy download that zaps into your head, bringing words, images, or feelings that aren’t from your usual thoughts. It’s like your inner radio picking up a mysterious but meaningful signal.

Sometimes, the impressions come as words—clear and distinct—but other times, it’s more like an image or a feeling. When it’s an image, that’s called clairvoyance (“clear seeing”)—you’re getting visual messages beyond ordinary sight.

When it’s a feeling or emotion, that’s clairsentience (“clear feeling”)—you’re tuning into the energy or emotional vibe of a person or situation.

So really, it’s often a blend of these intuitive senses working together to bring through the messages.

☀️How Did I End Up Here? (Not Quite What I Planned)

Here’s the mad part — I never trained to be a psychic or intuitive medium. No, I started off with Reiki, sound healing, and a genuine wish to hold safe, supportive spaces for people to begin to heal themselves. But as I worked on myself and deepened my healing skills, this unexpected journey began.

For a long time I didn’t dare share what was happening with friends or family let alone clients. But more odd things kept happening or feelings of deep knowing would arise the more I opened my mind and curiosity to it. I told trusted friends who reassured me I wasn’t going mad. They began to witness the knowings and the more I began to trust sharing them the more acknowledgement of being accurate they got and the more they flowed.

I never feared what was happening to me… I put a lot of love and effort into calling on my Light Team and the higher guides of my clients to keep things protected and cleansed during sessions. Somehow, I found myself being guided and taught to receive these intuitive messages.

Just learning to trust and go with the flow.

☀️Why Does It Happen Mostly When I’m Doing Reiki or Sound Baths?

Good question. When I’m working directly with someone’s energy—hands on during Reiki or surrounded by the sound vibrations—there’s a strong energetic connection happening. It’s like tuning into a radio station and the volume suddenly gets cranked up. Because the body holds all sorts of emotional stories and memories, sometimes those channels open and the messages come through.

☀️But Why Food Names??

Ah, the million-euro question. Sometimes the first word that pops in is something random — a food, an object, a colour. It’s like my brain’s way of giving me a starting point, a symbol to unravel. Maybe it’s a familiar smell or item linked to a memory for the person, or maybe it’s just the universe having a bit of craic and wanting me to sound ecentric when I ask someone do they eat eggs or if sausages means anything to them! Although, if it’s Pepsi Max or Kinder Bueno, I’m definitely wondering if it’s a knowing or I’m just in need of a treat!!)

☀️The Goosebumps Moment

Here’s the mad part: when I share these messages and the person connects with what I say or I interpret a knowing intuitively into what it may mean—especially if it’s linked to a loved one who has passed—I get goosebumps up my arm and the hairs stand on end ) well what’s left after I shave them!). It’s the body’s way of saying, “Yesssss, do you believe me now.”

☀️ What If Nothing Comes Through?

My biggest block in opening sharing what I do, the imposter syndrome that kicks in — it’s daunting to think about offering this gift and worrying the “words from the universe” won’t come on cue.

Here’s the thing though that I’m linking to …sometimes silence is the message. Sometimes, the best healing is just the quiet presence you hold for someone, not the words you share.

And honestly, that’s perfect too.

So to anyone who has ever humoured me and listened to my “knowings” and words that have come through thank you so much, it is from being able to share and have them claimed and validated by you that has increased my trust and belief in them.

It has been what has pushed me forward to work on and with this unexpected gift … along with Nicola who has had to reassure me thousands of times now that “yes this is real … and no you’re not finally gone mad”.

I’m curious, excited and grateful for this experience and looking forward to seeing where it develops on from here!
