| 09 Jan 2023 | Are you Living in the 3D, 4D or 5D | 00:48:11 | |
This week we progress the topic of 'Moving from a 3D to 5D frequency' so we can look at where you are now and where you might be heading to next. In this episode Gemma highlights that we experience these energies and dimensional shifts as an emotion. To help navigate this, she talks through the 'Map of Consciousness' research by David R. Hawkins which maps our emotions through the frequencies they give off. She then explores what it might look like to be living a 3D, 4D or 5D lifestyle and the physical and emotional reactions we can experience when raising our vibration. ---------------------- Show Notes: Resources: This month’s Workshop (Jan 2023): Sign up for the workshop and enjoy a month of Higher Self School content completely Free: 5D Living Workshop: 30th Jan 2023: Sign up ---------------------- Contact us: Instagram: @higherselfschool Email: info@higherselfschool.com | |||

| 09 Oct 2023 | Psychic Skills - Saturn Return and the Tarot with Cardsy B | 00:41:17 | |
Rebecca Szymczak, aka Cardsy B, is an author, intuitive tarot reader and energy alchemist. During her Saturn Return, Rebecca lost "everything" - her marriage, her dear friend and mentor, her high powered career, and literally all of her money. The tarot became an accessible and powerful tool for Rebecca, that allowed her to connect to her true self and access her intuition. Rebecca began pulling a card a day for herself, then reading for friends and former colleagues, and slowly transitioned out of the fashion world to provide energy and tarot readings full time. Rebecca’s new book, The Saturn Diaries, reveals how she transitioned from fashion bitch to wellness bitch. Part Memoir and part grimoire (or spell book), each chapter concludes with a spell, elixir or ritual she created on her healing journey of discovery and self-remembrance. This book is a call-to-action for anyone ready to embrace their inner witch and create their own magic. In this episode, Gemma and Rebecca discuss Rebecca’s origin story and her alias, Cardsy B, how different tarot cards relate to the chapters of Rebecca’s book, Rebecca’s self-illustrated tarot deck, and how Rebecca’s psychic abilities developed and evolved during this period of her life.
