Can you describe the moment or experience when you first realized you had clairvoyant and mediumship abilities? How did that change your perception of the world around you?
So many moments come to mind, but that I can track, I remember noticing messages in my journaling. So, when I would read back what I wrote, some sentences or messages felt “disconnected” from what was me. So, I realized I was probably channeling other energies that were supporting my path through written messages. I later read a book on channeling and took a mediumship course to understand better how I tap into these and learn to better identify them. The clairvoyance kicked in a bit later… There are the third eye visions I was excited and ready to receive, and once I requested to receive them, they started to come in more and more as pieces of a bigger story. Then, there is the actual seeing of colors and sacred geometry that started to surface through meditation and in between sleep states that, with time, has trickled into my waking life.
You mentioned aligning yourself with higher timelines. How do you interpret the concept of timelines in relation to personal growth and spiritual evolution?
I believe that what we call a “Higher Timeline” is a moment in time and space where we are more in alignment with our true essence of love, and because of it life is happier and more abundant in various ways and forms, depending on what your truth is in regards to these concepts. When we aim to align with our hearts, the things, people, and experiences that inspire us, we become more aligned with the frequency of love and it is through that energy that we are able to shift perspectives into more optimism, make choices that make us happier, and take action towards and in ways that make us feel confident and empowered resulting in more personal and spiritual growth.
What type of services do you offer?
I offer personal energy readings where I help tap the person into the current energies in their life and other frequencies at play that could be influencing their life or situation. My readings tend to delve into what the soul is currently moving through and how to bridge it into the physical and day-to-day life through mindset, mindfulness practices, connection to nature, numerology, the current Astrology, signs + synchronicities, and cycles of the moon. Self-care and Spiritual Rx are given to inspire and support your intentions moving forward. I like to see my readings as a soul alignment attunement session where you get more understanding of where your soul is at and how to use the current energies to move things forward in more alignment with your soul’s essence.
You can also catch me doing LIVE readings on Instagram every first Monday of the month and sharing collective and pick-a-card readings over on YouTube. Read more at Sparkling Carla.
Astrology, Tarot, numerology, and the cycles of nature play a key role in your practice. How do you combine these different systems to create a holistic understanding of the Universe’s messages?
These are all physical and grounding aspects of the invisible that I like to connect to in order to bring forward the bigger story and ground it in the physical as confirmation that we are not alone on our path. That the unseen world is always talking to us through nature, numbers, the planetary transits, and that Tarot, as well as Oracle cards, can be a fun and practical way to start connecting to these energies, messages, and learning about and connecting to all the symbolism in them.
You speak about meeting your Higher Self and falling in love with your true essence. What steps did you take to connect with your Higher Self, and what advice would you give others seeking to do the same?
Ooof! This is a great question and something that we, as human beings, should always strive to continue to explore and nurture as the work is never really done. A couple of years back I went full hermit mode to come back to me, call back my power, and ground my energies deeper into the earth so I could better connect to the version of myself I want to experience more of. It all started with a lot of grounding exercises, walks in nature, time by myself, journaling, connecting to the cycles of the moon, and learning to listen to my own desires and intuition. The spiritual process took me into a more physical evolution where I got to experience more of life on my own terms and in more authenticity to my energies and what my soul, mind, heart, and body need at any given moment. Getting to know your inner, higher, spiritual self throws you into getting to know more about, appreciating, forgiving, dreaming an even better future, and giving to your physical self everything that more truly resonates with what you are envisioning and receiving from your Higher Self. You get to “date” yourself in a way… have the conversations, come to more understanding, clarity, and appreciate the beautiful and unique being that you are, propelling you and your life to new heights of being and approaching life in general out of love of who you are and your experience thus far. One thing will unlock the other, and even though it is a constant balancing act of our inner energies, the neverending process should help unlock more of you and what you came here to experience.
My main advice to start connecting to your Higher Self is to incorporate a daily, every other day, or weekly practice of spending time by yourself in any sort of introspection like meditation, journaling, or talking to yourself. Get curious about your thoughts, your emotions, your current experience and where you want to go and GET REAL. It’s surprising how much we can censor in our own communication with ourselves out of programming, judgment, etc. Don’t glaze over your feelings, thoughts, and desires… honor them with the truth and move from there. Follow any nudge that comes through like when you feel you need to swim in the ocean or feel inclined to do… fill in the blank. Make time for yourself. Be honest. Follow the nudges.
What role does intuition play in your daily life, and how has honing your intuitive abilities impacted the decisions you make and the paths you choose?
I live a VERY intuitively led life. A recent out-of-state move I did was all powered by the Universe guiding me through signs and synchronicities to a place my rational self would have not picked, but when we allow ourselves to be led, we find treasure beyond our wildest dreams in places we wouldn’t have reached by sticking to being a human with a soul, instead of a soul in human form.
