What is an Intuitive Reading and How can it help you?

An intuitive reading is a reading where the reader or intuitive reads your energy, connects with your guides and/or connects with passed loved ones to bring through information and insight to help you on your path. Your guides are with you all the time so they know what you need to hear in the moment and how the message can help the most.

Every medium, intuitive, or reader brings through information in different ways. Readings will have a different feeling and experience from different readers but often if you get multiple readings in a short amount of time (or on the same day) there will be a common theme that unfolds. This is evidence that your guides and the universe is trying to communicate the same message to you.

Trust your own internal pull to who you feel has information, messages or can help you and make an effort to connect with that person.

How Tara Joy’s intuitive readings work

In the same way that different readers have different methods, we all have different ways of channeling messages or reading your energy. This post covers how I personally bring through information and how it works for me.

I first set a sacred container for us to be in together with golden sparkling light. This is done whether you are in front of me in-person or at a distance on a call. This allows us to let go of any energy not helping with messages such as worry, excitement, stress, or anxiety that may interfere or cloud the messaging. This also allows both of us to ground into the current moment and focus on the reading.

I then ask whoever is meant to help with the messages and communication to step forward. This could be a few souls and has sometimes been an entire group of 10 to 20 beings of light stepping forward to show support, love, and channel the information exactly as you need to hear it in the moment.

I then begin bringing through information whether there is a specific question or an open invitation to hear what is needed most in the moment.

I always say that leaving it open to spirit means that we hear what we need to hear even if we aren’t consciously aware that we need to hear it.

Readings bring to the surface insights from your subconscious energy field which is your body and nervous systems operating system. 90% or more of our daily habits and activities including walking, breathing, and eating are done by our subconscious.

How can an intuitive reading help you?

The most common ways intuitive readings help you are:

• Gaining clarity

• Confirming and validating what you already feel

• Emotional healing

• Connecting with your spirit guides and higher self

• Empowering your decision making process

Clarity

Opening the door to your subconscious, even a small amount can give you an immense amount of clarity on how to shift a situation, relationship, career objective, or life purpose.

Confirmation & Validation

Almost 99% of the time when someone asks a specific question their guides tell me, “They know the answer and the direction they want to take but X, Y, and Z are making it more challengin that it needs to be.” This gives a sense of validation and confirmation to your own gut instinct when a third-party (often stranger) let’s you know that what you are thinking and feeling is valid.

We have also been taught to get outside opinions, seek evidence, and make decisions from an analytical and logical place throughout our lives. But not all emotional or life changing career decisions can be logical or make sense. They just FEEL right.

Emotional Healing

Often getting a reading is the first time that you are fully seen, understood, validated, and supported. This can be a hugely emptional and healing experience. To sit with someone and have them be able to see your pain, fear, or your own inner abilities is huge. We live in a world where that is usually filed in the ‘Fantasy’ section of the bookstore, not non-fiction or biography. Readings are like energetic soul support that help you move forward.

Connecting with Guides & YOU (your higher self)

Getting a reading with someone who connects with your spirit team allows you to validate your own feelings and intuitive knowings about them.

I have had people ask me what they look like and I am able to describe souls that they have encountered, sometimes as a child. This allows them to know that these are guides, angels, and support from the other side that help them every day.

In the same way connecting with your higher self, or your own soul essence allows you to gain confidence in making this connection on your own and validates your own impressions about who you are and what you are meant to do in this world.

Empowering decision making

Often, hearing guidance and suggestions from a reading can help you make a more empowered decision that feels right for you. It allows you to put ego aside for a minute and get a perspective without the self doubt and second guessing.

This empowers you to make a decision and take action on something that you may have been feeling for a while but lacked clarity on how much it was impacting your energy or your conscious life.

What readings won’t do

Reading will never tell you exactly what to do, how to do it, and when to do it. When you give up your power for someone else to make a decision on your behalf, you are also giving up free will.

There is a universal law that we can’t override anyone’s free will anymore in 2025. It will backfire. Be wary of anyone that promises guarantees, claims 100% accuracy (none of us are THAT good - we are human), or can do love spells or manifestation spells for you.

YOU have to do the work. YOU have to take action towards your aligned purpose to become your authentic self.

And I am right there on that path with you.
