Mystic Muscles & Aura Hygiene: Embracing Your Inner Psychic with Sam the Medium
Blog Post:
This week on the podcast, Virginia sat down with a real-life mystic—Sam, a psychic medium, intuitive healer, and owner of a metaphysical shop. Sam isn’t just someone who learned the craft—she was born with the gift, raised in a family where seeing spirits and sensing energy was considered normal.
From childhood, Sam’s experiences with the unseen world felt as natural as breathing. While many spiritual sensitives feel isolated or misunderstood, Sam was surrounded by friends and family who embraced her abilities. She recalls describing her great-grandmother’s spirit to her grandmother and being met not with skepticism, but with support.
But that doesn’t mean the path has been easy.
“It can be a burden,” Sam admits. “When you feel everything, it’s heavy. You start asking yourself, is this mine, or am I picking up someone else’s energy?”
For anyone feeling overwhelmed by their intuition, Sam’s advice is both practical and empowering: Meditate. Set boundaries. Learn your own energetic language. Whether it’s a sudden energetic “bump” while driving or a voice that’s not your own whispering something helpful, these subtle cues are all part of developing your personal “psychic dictionary.”
From Empath to Empowered
Many of us identify as empaths, but Sam challenges the narrative that being sensitive means being helpless. Yes, energy vampires exist. Yes, the world can feel overwhelming. But you can set boundaries, even in public places.
“People who overgive or overshare often lack boundaries with themselves first,” Sam explains. “Spiritual growth starts by learning where you’re pouring too much out and not enough in.”
She encourages people to think of spiritual boundaries like muscle building—it’s something you strengthen daily. Whether it’s five minutes of meditation, stretching on your yoga mat, or simply deep breathing, these small daily practices help you stay grounded and clear.
“Yoga, especially Kundalini, is amazing for harnessing your own energy. You start to know what’s yours and what isn’t.”
Don’t Catch an ATD
One of our favorite moments? When Sam warns listeners about “ATDs”—Aura Transmitted Diseases. (Yes, it’s as real as it sounds.)
“You have to be careful who you surround yourself with. Energy is energy—it sticks. Just like brushing your teeth, you have to clean your energy daily.”
From sage and palo santo to divination tools like tarot cards, Sam emphasizes that intention is everything. She uses cards as a visual aid to complement her intuition, helping clients bridge the gap between what they feel and what they see.
And no, she’s not a fortune teller.
“I’m a healer. I’m here to empower people, not scare them.”
Final Thoughts
Whether you’re a curious soul just beginning your spiritual journey, or a seasoned empath needing stronger boundaries, Sam’s message is clear: You are not alone—and you are more powerful than you think.
So go ahead. Meditate for five minutes. Light the sage. Say no to things that drain you. And remember: spiritual strength starts with self-awareness.
