Preparing for a Reading

Intuition does not come to an unprepared mind.
— Albert Einstein

I am often asked, “How can I best prepare for my reading?” To prepare mind and spirit I suggest to have your reading in an undistracted environment and be fully present. Comfortably focus on the guidance presently streaming through your session. If you have burning personal questions, try to present them in the spirit of “non-attachment” (as best you can). Imagine asking your questions as if you were the Dalai Lama – open to receiving clear answers but not trying to “push the guidance” along. It is always best to be fully seated in the present when asking about your future! Reading is a sensitive energetic process so being tuned into the 'here and now' makes for a smoother interpretation of clairvoyant imagery.

As for me, I prepare a minimum of thirty minutes before my readings. My prep consists of a short, intense meditation combined with prayer, vocal warm ups, visualization exercises (to warm up my mental movie screen), and lastly Hemi-Synch brain balancing exercises.

Spectacular achievement is always preceded by un-spectacular preparation

Announcing Several Intuition Seminars & 2-Day Program

Another upcoming Intuitive Awakening Seminar on April 20th at Unity Church. This particular venue is sweetly nostalgic for Kathryn and I, as we were married on the land site for the proposed “new Mills River church” back in the mid-90s.

The Intuitive beat goes on as I share the Intuitive Awakening Program with Unity of Greenville, South Carolina on May 19th!

Extra, Extra... I am also busy finalizing exciting plans for a two-day Spiritual Seminar in Monterey, California this September. Kathryn Streletzky (author of River Run: Adventures on the Edge of Enlightenment) and I will be hosting this awesome beachfront California event together! Additional details are shaping up!

Successful Intuition Seminar in Asheville

The Asheville, North Carolina seminar was a great success! We had full capacity attendance within the coziness of the Heart House. The eager, spunky Asheville crowd inspired me to deliver my best Intuitive group lesson, which encapsulated into two and a half brief hours. Plans are in the works for a larger (possibly two-day) Intuition seminar in late winter/early spring 2013!

For most folks, the Intuitive arts are somewhat of a conceptual abstraction, yet Mothers Intuition and daily “gut instincts” inform, guide, and reliably protect us all. Intuition, at the end of the day, is not really such an esoteric subject. The challenge is to make room in both the “hard drive” of the head and heart so guidance can be heard. One of my very first lessons on intuition came from my early mentor - the late, great Sun Bear. He said, “Charley… Intuition is not supernatural, its completely natural.” I have been leading an all-natural lifestyle ever since.

Announcing First Event of 2012

'The Power & Practice of Intuition' will be a hands-on, intimate workshop with Charley Castex on January 15th, 2012 from 3-6PM In Santa Fe/Eldorado, New Mexico. Our afternoon intensive will be about cultivating perceptual sensitivity. I will be sharing hard-won strategies (from the pro road) for buffing your Intuitive biceps.

Limited seating available, individual registration for $45/person.
I’m looking forward to sharing an awesome afternoon with Santa Fe’ folks!
