Hiya Pinkies. Almost three weeks have elapsed since I experienced my Pink intuitive reading from Mojo Mentor Caroline Bobart. Usually, when things happen, I write about them instantly. It’s almost as if writing something makes it real for me. But this time, I needed time to process what I experienced. I’m honestly not sure words will do it justice, but I wanted to take a stab and sharing with you how my first real intuitive reading went.
First off, there were no gypsy scarves or crystal balls, and never once did we use the word “psychic.” Instead, we connected voice-over-internet via Skype from Wales to California, as if we were talking over the telephone. Caroline asked me to repeat my name three times, and then I listened. I didn’t record her so don’t quote me on this, but from the notes I took right after we finished, Caroline communicated something like this.
Your aura is dark blue at your crown and fades in a graded fashion to white at your feet. The dark blue at the top represents your creative self, traveling between the astral plains and earth. You spend a lot of time in the astral planes, then bring back information that you communicate via your art and your writing. This allows you to have a wide perspective on quirky things. You scan landscapes and energy and bring into this reality things that are relevant to where you are right now, channeling that awareness of what goes on in the astral planes.
In your second chakra, within your womb, lies the white energy of your mother. You hold her in your space to keep her safe, just above your grounding. It’s safe and warm, so she hangs out there.
When I look at your grounding, where you connect with the earth, I see white light going to the center of the planet. But I see that you are uncertain about how much to release. Your creativity takes away from your ability to stay grounded. If you are not well grounded, you topple more easily because you’re not physically anchored. Because you struggle with staying grounded, you hold a lot of energy within you, because it cannot flow through you into the center of the earth. Because you function in higher levels of awareness, your grounding and lower chakras get neglected.
When I look at your spirit, I see that you have a huge capacity above your 7th chakra to take in spiritual energy. You connect easily to your higher self, and that’s what others sense about you. They see a lot of spinning, lovely energy which is nurturing, healing, and validating to others. The growth for you lies in coming to terms with the effect you have on others. There’s a shyness you have about this. Part of you recognizes the effect you have on others, while another part of you thinks, “Holy shit.” You feel some trepidation about the role you are playing in the lives of others and your ability to affect their lives. You ask yourself, “What do I do with this power? Who am I?” You struggle to label it and aren’t sure what to do with this. Your growth comes in realizing that labels are being exploded- you’re not just a doctor or artist or writer. But the dust hasn’t settled yet, leaving you in this in-between place. You’re still exploring where you belong.
Your aura holds the energy of many other people within your space. Your aura should be mostly your own energy, but because you feel responsible for many others who hang out in your aura, it makes it hard for you to feel yourself. You’re not conscious of the boundaries of your aura, so the boundaries are blurry. Your aura is a playground, which makes you less certain of yourself. Because your aura gets so crowded with the energy of other people, you tend to get out of your body, which makes your body feel a little foreign to you.
Other people tend to seek their own grounding through your space, and you’ve unconsciously tried to organize it in your own space. You want others to feel safe in your space, yet it’s hard to manage energy that is not your own. If you become more aware of this, you can create, within Owning Pink, an energetic space that is well grounded. Then you can encourage people’s energy to move out of your space and ground into Owning Pink’s energetic space, outside of your personal aura, which can provide much more room for others to ground, grow, and blossom.
Why do others crowd your aura? It’s an exchange you’ve agreed upon. “I’ll give you warmth and safety if you’ll validate me. From early on, I’ll love you, but you need to see me.” I can see this fear on top of your aura, above your crown. There’s this orange vibration- this fear of not being seen. It’s based upon your past life energy. 300 years ago, I see that you were an old spinster dressed in black. You were a time-traveler, a shaman. You could navigate different realms, enabling you to have a huge, expansive perspective. But in this past life, your gifts went unrecognized. You were alone and never validated. No one could see you. You had no opportunity to be of service. Those gifts stayed locked away. You still hold pain that remains from that past life, when you were persecuted because of your gifts. You’ve made a commitment in this lifetime to spew forth creative energy, without holding anything back. You run full force and are unapologetic about the amount of creative energy you can channel. But you still fear not being seen. So you invite others to enter your aura, because they make you feel seen, validated. Because of this, your personal space has become community space. You need to reclaim your personal space, so you can continue to create and channel this energy from the astral realms. Reclaiming your personal space will help you better serve others, because you will become more grounded. And you will invite others to ground their own energy in something more expansive, an energetic space big and free enough to allow the energy of others to flourish.
For your next purposeful steps, I see a body detoxification, which will help you cleanse your aura and make it your own. I also see you meditating and learning to inhabit your body, which will help ground you and let some of the spiritual energy that enters your crown course through you and ground you into the planet. Finally, trust your community and empower them to create the energetic space where we all can ground together, without crowding your aura.
Then, Caroline opened up the rest of the time for questions, we processed a bit, and the reading was over.
How did it feel? Let’s just say that the 300 year old spinster from my past life had a heyday. I felt completely seen, not in some creepy, invasive way. More like “Wow, someone actually gets me.” Because I don’t really want anyone to spoil the surprise of what my future might hold, I was a little worried that Caroline’s clairvoyance might wind up divulging something I might not wish to know about my future. When will I die? Will I get rich and famous one day? Will my child get ill one day? What number will win the lotto? These are questions I don’t want answered. But Caroline said nothing surprising, nothing I was unwilling to hear.
In fact, she had told me beforehand that I would be “seeing” myself along side of her, and truth is, she was right. I found myself nodding, expanding, and seeing my crowded blue and white aura and my mother in my womb. I see that I am always spinning in my head and that I struggle to stay grounded. I went dancing with a girlfriend a week ago, and she said, “Even when you dance, you raise your arms over your head and dance on tippy-toe. What would it feel like if you bent your knees and rooted yourself closer to the ground?” At first, I resisted. Why bent lower? Why not reach for the stars? But when Caroline was speaking, I saw myself bending my knees, sprouting roots, and bringing all that astral energy through me. Perhaps I would be less spinny, less in my head, more grounded.
I could write about this for hours (and certainly will). But mostly, I wanted you Pinkies to vicariously experience what a Pink intuitive reading would be like. I found it profoundly enlightening. Already, my life is shifting. I can feel it, as the tectonic plates of my energetic presence on this earth move just a notch.
It brings to mind the words of the former Cat Stevens. “To be what you must, you must give up what you are.” I guess I feel like I am in that state of flux, trying to straddle two different lives, knowing, deep down, that to fully inhabit my power, I must stand, firmly rooted with two feet, in the life I’m meant to live.
Thank you Caroline, for this profoundly moving, earth-shifting, consciousness-raising, insightful, intuition-revving, loving experience. Words fail to do it any sort of justice. Trust me on this one, Pinkies…
Would you Pinkies be interested in geting a Pink intuitive reading of your own from Caroline? Are you curious how your life and your aura appear in the Unseen realms? Would you be willing to explore the spiritual lessons you might learn in this lifetime? Would you appreciate guidance as you reach for your full PINK potential? Let us know. We at Owning Pink are considering setting up the opportunity for phone or voice-over-internet sessions with very special Mojo Mentors like Caroline to help facilitate your journey as you take the next step on the Pink path. We'd love your honest feedback. Read more about Pink Intuitive Readings with Caroline Bobart.
With gratitude to you all for helping me heal past wounds and feel seen,
Lissa

It is so crazy how this stuff
By Leslee Horner (not verified) on Tuesday, 09/15/2009 at 7:47 AMIt is so crazy how this stuff happens. Last week I read the Denise Linn book called "Past Lives, Present Dreams" and over the days I was reading it I got what I was certain was past life information. These ideas just started popping into my head about a few of my current relationships. So the first thing I thought was maybe I should contact Caroline and see what she thinks of this information. But of course, I talked myself out of it (just like I talked myself out of contacting Fred a while back) and sure enough here is a blog post (just like what happened with Fred) that is reminding me that I really ought to contact Caroline!
So yes, I love the idea of getting a reading from Caroline through Owning Pink!!!
Thank you, darling. I can
By Lissa Rankin on Tuesday, 09/15/2009 at 7:17 AMThank you, darling. I can wholeheartedly recommend your readings to any Pinkie who feels she might be ready to take the next step in her self-awareness. I felt safe, nurtured, and most of all- seen. xoxo
Thank you Sue, Lissa, Simone
By Caroline D Bobart (not verified) on Tuesday, 09/15/2009 at 7:11 AMThank you Sue, Lissa, Simone and Alice for your wonderful insights and positive, constructive feedback!
When Lissa and I first talked about the possibility of her opening up her experience for the benefit of the Owning Pink Community, it inevitably raised some questions as to whether Pinkies were ready to have this kind of experience for themselves.
I just love what Lissa has done in communicating her own sense of adventure, possibility and willingness to push the boundaries when it comes to her self-discovery here in this post.
Having read many many auras, the one thing that is consistent is that the issues that I look at together with someone are rarely ever unknown to that person...sometimes they just need a witness, or perhaps a perfect stranger to come along and validate the path or process they had a sense they were trying to follow all along.
It never ceases to amaze me how intuitive each of us already IS. What Lissa did was take a pleap (pink leap of faith!) that her spirit would show her during her reading the precise things she needed to be aware of at that time to help her take her next steps, and she allowed me to gently guide her attention and awareness to these.
Thank you Lissa for being a really FUN and enthusiastic 'Readee' and for your enthusiasm for bringing cool new information, tools and resources to each of us here Owning Pink!
With Pink Gratitude (and to the old spinster too who's safely on her way out!)
xx Caroline
Oh, thank you Simone and
By Lissa Rankin on Tuesday, 09/15/2009 at 6:34 AMOh, thank you Simone and Alice! I was hesitant about sharing some of these details because I didn't want any Pinkies to feel like I want to push you away ("Get thee out of my aura, Pinkies!") It's not quite like that. I guess Caroline's reading just made me realize that the more I nurture my internal space the more present, grounded, and whole I can be, bringing the highest good to Owning Pink. And isn't that ultimately best for all of us? But the 300 year old spinster is yelling, "No! Don't go! My aura is warm and inviting!" Peace-spinster. You're good. You're safe. All is well...
Wonderful description, Lissa!
By Alice (not verified) on Tuesday, 09/15/2009 at 6:10 AMWonderful description, Lissa! My intuitive reading with Caroline (I had a lovely "sample" session with her a couple months ago) was also very helpful in "seeing" myself and where I would like to be, what I need to do to get there, etc. She is the real deal!
And for the record, I see you bright, shiny, and clear! You are a great light to all of us, and I promise to stay just outside your aura, but enjoy the rays of it like sunlight on my face!
Much love to you!
This is awesome, Lissa.
By Simone da Rosa (not verified) on Tuesday, 09/15/2009 at 5:53 AMThis is awesome, Lissa. Thanks for sharing your personal experience with us all. There are psychics and intuitives, and as an adult who grew up in such a New Way (the "New Age" label doesn't resonate for me) area like S.F., Caroline is so obviously gifted and generous. Doesn't it feel GREAT to "be seen"? — it helps us see ourselves in ways unimagined, and that is an expander in itself. Lovely. Nice work! — Si/BadWitch
Thank you, Sue. I know I'm
By Lissa Rankin on Tuesday, 09/15/2009 at 5:51 AMThank you, Sue. I know I'm safe here with my Pinkies. And I guess my 300 yr old spinster likes to be seen! Thank you for healing an old wound by being here and honoring my truth.
you are brave to share this
