In the world of spiritual guidance and mediumship, Rachael Ortega shines as a successful Christian Medium and psychic based in Colorado Springs. Her journey into this unique realm of the supernatural has been nothing short of remarkable. As a child, Rachael discovered she possessed a special gift, an ability to perceive and understand things that often eluded others. However, early on, she was advised to suppress these extraordinary gifts and ignore the call of the unknown.
Rachael heeded this advice and suppressed her innate abilities. It wasn’t until 2019, following the passing of her beloved husband, that she made a life-altering decision. She chose to fully embrace her true self and the extraordinary gifts that had long been dormant within her.
Her husband’s transition marked a turning point in her life. Even after his physical departure, Rachael continued to feel his presence, see him, and hear his voice. This remarkable connection brought her a profound sense of comfort and certainty, challenging the conventional belief that death is the end. In her understanding, our departed loved ones remain with us, offering signs and messages, and love that transcends the boundaries of life and death.
Rachael Ortega’s mission is to share this profound understanding and her exceptional gifts with those who seek guidance and healing. She is here to assist others in their journey of connecting with the spirit world and finding solace and wisdom in the messages from beyond. Whether through an in-person appointment or a virtual reading, Rachael welcomes all who are ready to explore the limitless realm of the spirit and discover the enduring power of love.
Can you describe your journey to becoming a medium and what inspired you to develop your abilities in this field?
Absolutely, my journey into the world of mediumship is a story of deep personal transformation and a profound connection with the supernatural. From a young age, I was graced with unique gifts, gifts that set me apart from my peers. However, instead of being nurtured and celebrated, these gifts were met with skepticism and fear. Growing up, I heard the constant refrain that what I experienced was somehow “bad” or even dangerous. The experiences themselves were enigmatic – I often saw and heard things that others couldn’t, including the ethereal presence of spirits.
The prevailing advice from my family was to ignore these occurrences, to shut the door on these experiences. I was cautioned against delving further into this mysterious world, and the doors of possibility were seemingly closed.
But, as I grew older, it became increasingly evident that these extraordinary abilities were not something I could simply block out. They persisted, even when I tried to suppress them. It was as if they were an intrinsic part of me, an integral aspect of my very being.
Then, in 2019, my life took a tragic turn when my beloved husband fell seriously ill and eventually passed away. A few days before his passing, I had a powerful vision. It was a vision that foretold his imminent departure. This hauntingly accurate premonition marked a significant turning point in my life. In the wake of his death, something remarkable happened – I continued to feel his presence. It was a presence that differed markedly from the fear-inducing entities I had encountered in the past. Instead, it was comforting and reassuring, igniting a spark of curiosity within me.
This experience challenged my preconceived notions about the supernatural. It made me question the judgments and fears that had held me back for so long. For the first time, I considered that there might be more to this realm than I had been led to believe.
So, your first experience with your husband was a positive turning point in your journey, as he wasn’t a frightening presence like others?
Indeed, my husband’s presence was like a beacon of light in the darkness. His presence was warm, soothing, and profoundly reassuring. It was as if he had become my guiding light, leading me out of the shadowy realm of fear and uncertainty.
This encounter with my late husband opened a door to a new understanding of the supernatural. It allowed me to question the narrative that had been imposed on me, which held that my gifts were inherently sinister. My experiences with my husband showed me that there was a positive side to the spirit world, one that was filled with love, reassurance, and connection.
This shift in perspective catalyzed my journey towards embracing my abilities more openly, ultimately leading me to where I stand today as a medium.
Many people are skeptical about mediums and psychics. How do you respond to those who doubt these abilities?
Skepticism, without a doubt, is a prevailing sentiment when it comes to the realm of mediums and psychics. It’s natural for people to question what they haven’t experienced firsthand, and I completely understand that. In fact, I once shared that skepticism.
However, it’s vital to recognize that the world of mediumship is one that transcends mere words and explanations. It is an experiential journey that can only truly be comprehended when one steps into it.
I’ve had the privilege of working with many clients who initially approached me with a sense of doubt and uncertainty. They were curious, perhaps, but also guarded. But, as the readings progressed, as I channeled messages and insights that resonated deeply with them, I witnessed their skepticism gradually transform into awe and amazement. It’s a remarkable transition to behold.
In my experience, skepticism often stems from a lack of personal connection with the spirit world. It’s only when people open themselves to the possibility, and when they witness the accuracy and depth of the readings, that they truly begin to understand. It becomes a personal journey of discovery.
You mentioned having different psychic abilities. Can you explain the differences and how you use them to provide guidance to your clients?
Certainly, my psychic abilities are a fascinating tapestry of experiences that allow me to tap into the world beyond our physical realm. These abilities are often referred to as the “clairs,” and each one serves as a unique channel for perceiving information.
I possess various clairs, each offering a distinct avenue for understanding and communication. Some of these clairs include clairvoyance (clear seeing), clairaudience (clear hearing), clairsentience (clear feeling), and clairalience (clear smelling). They are like the colors of a spectrum, each with its own qualities.
For instance, clairvoyance enables me to receive information through vivid mental images or visions. It’s like having a movie screen in my mind, where I see symbols, scenes, or even people from the spirit world. This visual information is incredibly powerful and aids in providing a visual context for clients.
Clairaudience allows me to hear messages and words as though someone is speaking directly to me. It’s as if there’s an ethereal conversation happening within my mind. This auditory input is often packed with meaningful insights.
Clairsentience is all about feeling. I can experience the emotions of spirits, or even sense physical sensations. This empathic connection provides an intimate understanding of the emotions and energies at play.
In the case of clairalience, I can sometimes pick up on specific scents related to a spirit or a memory. This can be a powerful tool for connecting with loved ones and triggering cherished memories.
It’s important to note that I don’t have absolute control over which clair will activate during a reading; it often depends on the situation and the spirit I’m connecting with. This eclectic blend of abilities allows me to provide comprehensive, in-depth insights during readings. It’s like having a toolkit of perceptions that I can draw from to offer the most meaningful guidance and messages to my clients.
Moving on, what is the most memorable or impactful reading you’ve had, where your abilities truly helped a client?
Oh, there have been countless remarkable readings in my journey, each one leaving a unique imprint on my heart. One of the most unforgettable readings occurred early in my path as a medium, and it stands out as a testament to the transformative power of connecting with the spirit world.
This particular reading revolved around a client’s beloved horse, a magnificent being that had crossed over into the spirit realm. What made this experience exceptionally memorable was that it marked the first time I had communicated so profoundly with an animal spirit.
I was presented with vivid, heartwarming images of the horse, as if I were transported into the idyllic scenes of its past. The horse showed me images of walks in the woods, and I felt the strong bond between the horse and its human, the client.
This bond was a beautiful testament to the unconditional love that can exist between humans and animals. The messages I conveyed were deeply personal, touching on the rescue of the horse as a colt and even details like the playful interactions with a chain on the fence. The client was overwhelmed with emotion, as the reading brought comfort, validation, and a profound sense of connection.
It was a reminder that the spirit world knows no boundaries, transcending the boundaries of species and resonating with the purest essence of love and companionship. This reading left an indelible mark on both me and my client, reinforcing the healing power of mediumship.
