In this enlightening episode of Coffee Date With Spirit, hosts Kristen and Amy welcome Justina Sharp of Angel Reiki Journey to discuss the magical world of angels and energy healing. The conversation begins with Justina leading a beautiful grounding meditation that connects participants to Mother Earth and the angels.

Justina shares her journey into spiritual work, from childhood experiences with her grandfather's visitation before his passing to her reluctant but ultimately transformative path into Reiki healing. She vividly describes how she visualizes angels during her healing sessions - particularly Archangels Michael and Raphael who appear with specific tools to clear energy blockages in the chakras.

The conversation explores how Reiki opens practitioners to heightened spiritual awareness, including mediumship abilities, past life recall, and communication with angels. Justina explains that these gifts aren't "crazy" but rather natural abilities that have been disconnected in modern society.

The episode includes several synchronistic moments, including a special Archangel Michael card that Amy had recently rediscovered, providing validation of the angelic presence during their conversation. The hosts discuss helping children navigate spiritual sensitivity, and Justina recommends specific practices using Archangel Michael's protective energy.

The episode concludes with angel card readings pointing to new creative beginnings and the importance of teaching spiritual wisdom - with special emphasis on Kristen's upcoming children's book project. Throughout, the conversation demonstrates how angels and spirit guides actively participate in everyday life when we open ourselves to their presence.

In this impromptu episode of Coffee Date With Spirit, hosts Kristen Forno and Amy Potter share a profound spiritual experience that validates the connection between the living and those who have crossed over. Kristen recounts her recent visit to a candlemaking workshop led by a psychic medium, where her Aunt Phyllis came through with remarkably specific messages.

The validation came through several unmistakable signs: references to Aunt Phyllis's handwritten letters, a gesture reminiscent of Kristen's Nana (Aunt Phyllis’s mother), and a striking grounding motion that mirrored exactly what Kristen had demonstrated during meditation in a private workshop with Amy earlier the same day. Most remarkably, the psychic mentioned the stars and the sky – a reference Kristen didn't immediately understand, but which her cousin later revealed was directly connected to "The Evening Sky," a special letter Aunt Phyllis had written to her children.

The episode explores the synchronicities that followed, including Amy's yoga class visualization involving stars showering down from above, and Kristen's tarot reading featuring cards depicting the night sky, stars, and the joining of earth and sky. These multiple layers of validation transformed Kristen's perspective, helping her fully trust her spiritual path and connection to the other side.

Throughout their conversation, Kristen and Amy discuss how such validating spiritual experiences can be profoundly healing and perspective-shifting, opening us to trust the unseen connections that exist beyond ordinary reality and demonstrating that our loved ones continue to support us from the other side.

In this enlightening episode of Coffee Date With Spirit, hosts Amy Potter and Kristen Forno explore the profound revelation that healing energy work isn't something we do—it's something we are.

Amy shares her transformative experience teaching her first solo Reiki class, where she discovered that universal life force energy isn't just channeled through us but is fundamentally who we are. She introduces the powerful metaphor of removing "lampshades" that dim our inner light, explaining how we've covered our authentic selves with layers of conditioning and fear.

The conversation weaves through their parallel spiritual journeys as healing practitioners—Amy as a Reiki master and Kristen as an intuitive life coach—highlighting how they both help others remove blocks to access their true nature. They discuss how their collaboration has accelerated their personal development, allowing them to show up more authentically in their work and lives.

Kristen shares a moving story about praying with her daughter in the emergency room after a serious e-bike accident, demonstrating how her spiritual practice has become more integrated with her everyday experiences. The hosts reflect on the similarities in their work guiding clients to greater self-awareness and authenticity, despite using different approaches.

The episode concludes with a heartfelt conversation about releasing rigid systems and structures that can block our true expression, embracing the mystery of not knowing, and trusting the journey of spiritual growth. Amy and Kristen invite listeners to consider where they've placed "lampshades" over their own light and how removing them might transform their lives.
