Last week, I shared Minty’s journey as he honed his craft, abilities & skills. This week I share my own experiences.

We’d just sat down to our meeting yesterday when a woman  at the table next to us leaned over & asked Minty if he remembered doing a reading at her house with 4 other friends. Of course he did. She asked if he remembered telling them they’d have a baby in the family, a baby boy. Of course he did. She said, ‘My sister is having a baby & they just found out they were having a boy.’

And that’s what I love about these things – the little synchronicities that pop up just to remind you. She may have forgotten what Minty had told her if she hadn’t randomly bumped into him yesterday.

I asked Minty if he had any messages for me. ‘I’m not trying to get a freebie reading, I just think I can’t write about this without experiencing it.’

He asked for something of mine as he also practices Psychometry, known as token-object reading. It is a form of extrasensory perception characterized by making observations of someone by using an object close to the subject to channel these messages. I didn’t have any jewellery on, I don’t own a watch, all I had was my purse. He rubbed his hands over the purse & asked me if I had a big move planned, I was moving?

Er nope.

I tried to stay poker faced. Although I absolutely believed in his ability what he said didn’t really resonate & I didn’t want to give anything away, which is daft because I believe it is all energy, so my poker face ain’t going to defeat to the Universe, Quantum, energy. I was planning garden renovations; perhaps he sensed my higher energy  because I have been talking with a friend who is very green fingered about this as  a project over the summer.

‘You’re very green fingered & love having your hands in the soil.’

Er very much nope. It is one of those mindful activities I know has SO many positive health benefits but gardening to me is housework. But I have definitely been fantasizing about making my garden more zen.

He gave me some other pointers about things that will be resolved that do monopolise my energy & thoughts. I thought I had a much better handle on them. Minty asked why I had been feeling anxious.

‘ I didn’t think I had been.‘ I replied. 

I thought I’d been keeping those anxious thoughts at bay. But it was a timely reminder about watching the energy of those thoughts as there was obviously enough anxious energy whirling around for him to pick up on. But it also gave me some hope about things being resolved & maybe even sooner than I imagined.  And that’s the crux of it, I believe it’s all about belief & hope, trust & surrender. If one has hope, our vibrations are higher so  matches are going to be higher & things may well get resolved. If we trust & believe we are creating space for things to change.

I was a little sceptical as I returned home. The house thing was bugging me til I realised my dream is to buy the house we currently rent & because I  have started to see & believe in it as a reality I have been imagining, visualising what I’d do to the house should it happen. It will be a massive reno job, need under-pinning, the works. Dreams and imaginings, eh. That was the energy Minty picked up on: the dreams & imaginings leading to higher vibrations,

What I found equally interesting was that Minty steered away from obvious things like messages from my Dad, who died decades ago, or messages about my business. Instead they were subtle messages that were possibly easy to dismiss.  As I took some time to reflected on little things he’d said. I noticed how there was a grain of truth, a whisper of energy in everything Minty had picked up on. .

Minty said really all he does is give people hope. But that’s the power of hope: it can change your energy and therefore  your life. Hope is a huge gift.

If you’d like to contact Minty about readings, he works in person & remotely with people all over the world – that’s the great thing about energy, it’s not confined to this time & space!
