  1. Scan yourself.Is your energy calm, tense or neutral? Don't overthink, just observe. Breathe in, hold for three seconds, breathe out. The first thing that comes up is your answer.
  2. Think of a person.Does the energy feel light, heavy, warm or distant? Take the first person who comes to mind. Notice any colour around them too.
  3. Read the room.Can you sense any cold spots, any warmth, or any areas that feel different? Scan in front, behind, above, below and side to side, with no judgment.

I have to say that reading energy is a big strength for me, I have been able to do this since I was young and its something I really trust.
A viewer
Hi. First time scanning. I thought of my best friend who I’ve been feeling distant lately with. I felt a distant sense and the colour blue came to mind around her, and I felt tingling and slight headache after. Obviously I’m going to keep practicing 😮
Angel
Oh wow, so the first one i saw my son his energy was heavy and green, I am sitting outside and it white energy, I felt spirits by the grill and standing next to me as well.
Naomi
Thanks for sharing this practice, I'll def do it some more times to better my psychic abilities. I had some struggles, and still (but less, thankfully) on mixing thoughts with intuiton, and sometimes not knowing if I had to trust those instincts or were just judgements, after a lot of pain I had some lessons 😂
A viewer

“Have you ever experienced that with a human being? You meet somebody and you instantly like the person, or you dislike them, but you have no idea why.”

“There is a difference between judgment and awareness, and if you meet someone or you have a sense about something, don't doubt it. The moment that you doubt yourself and you feel like you're being judgmental is the moment that you give away your power.”

Questions this video answers

Can anyone learn to read energy?

The truth is, energy never lies, and we have been led to believe that people have to be energetically special to read other people. The truth is, we already are. It's a skill set that we have to develop. The most gifted mediums and energy healers in the world have honed into the skill set. They have made their craft their obsession and got really good at it, but they didn't start off just energetically amazingly intuitive. They've had conditioning as well.

What is the difference between a medium and someone who reads energy?

This is going to save so much time for your life, if you were dating somebody, if you were thinking about growing friendships with people, or buying a house even. I have a lot of real estate agents that work with me because they do this energy work with buying and selling homes. It is like a game changer. The only difference between a medium and somebody who reads energy is the medium interprets the energy that they are reading.

How do you tell judgment from intuition?

There is a difference between judgment and awareness. Awareness is just an energy. It is simply just an energy of knowing and truth. A judgment has a charge, like, I don't like that person because of A, B, C and D. That's a judgment. If you just have an awareness that somebody might not be an energetic fit, a right fit for you, or, no, I don't like that house, then at the end of the day, just go with that.

How do you read the energy of a room?

Shift your focus into the room that you are sitting in or lying in, with your eyes still closed. What is the energy in here? Do a scan in front of you, behind you, above you, below you and side to side. Scan the room. Expand beyond the body. Can you sense any cold spots, any warmth, or any areas that feel different? Just notice what you notice, with no judgment.

“Energy never lies.”

Why your first read on a person or a place deserves your trust

Judgment or awareness?

Often when we are reading somebody or reading a room, we go to our brain and we're like, oh my gosh, I am such a judgmental person, I can't believe I thought that about this person. Have you ever done that, to find out three years later that your instinct the first time was correct, but your mind had come in and called you judgmental?

There is a difference between judgment and awareness. If you meet someone or you have a sense about something, don't doubt it.

“The moment that you doubt yourself and you feel like you're being judgmental is the moment that you give away your power.”
Victoria Bond, in this video

Awareness is just an energy. It is simply just an energy of knowing and truth. A judgment has a charge, like, I don't like that person because of A, B, C and D. That's a judgment. If you just have an awareness that somebody might not be a right fit for you, or, no, I don't like that house, then at the end of the day, just go with that.

We never buy homes on our mind. We go with the feeling. CEOs, athletes and all these high level investors are using their gut instinct for the big deals, not necessarily their mind. If their gut says no, they say no, no matter how good on paper it looks. So don't judge yourself for having awarenesses. We don't have to go into judgment. We can just trust our gut instinct.

Your gifts aren’t blocked. You may just be overriding them.

Have you ever walked into a room and you instantly felt an energy, either a warmth, like an inviting energy, or maybe an energy of something that was a little bit icky or not quite right? Have you ever experienced that with a human being? You meet somebody and you instantly like the person, or you dislike them, but you have no idea why. Of course the brain kicks in, and then all of a sudden we go on that spiral of the mental mind. But there's no surprises here: energy is your first language. I'm going to show you how to intentionally tap into places, people and Spirit.

The truth is, energy never lies, and we have been led to believe that people have to be energetically special to read other people. The truth is, we already are, and we know this now. It's a skill set that we have to develop. The most gifted mediums and energy healers in the world have honed into the skill set. They have made their craft their obsession and got really good at it, but they didn't start off just energetically amazingly intuitive. No, they've had conditioning as well. So we're going to really hone in and practice the skill set of scanning and reading, and again, building that muscle of our psychic abilities.

If you've ever felt like you can read people's minds, if you feel people's energy, so you might feel emotional when you're around somebody, if you've ever sensed strange energy or feelings that have been heightened in places that you're in, this video is for you. So let's bring in the crafting, honing into the gift, so we can start doing it in a way more intentional way. This is going to save so much time for your life, if you were dating somebody, if you were thinking about growing friendships with people, or buying a house even. I have a lot of real estate agents that work with me because they do this energy work with buying and selling homes. It is like a game changer. The only difference between a medium and somebody who reads energy is the medium interprets the energy that they are reading.

So let's get into the process of scanning. This is going to be a process where you're going to have your eyes closed, so I highly recommend you go find somewhere comfortable, because I'm going to take you through a three step process. Closing your eyes down. Now taking a nice deep breath in, holding for three seconds, and then exhaling. Now shifting your awareness to your body. What do you feel? Is your energy calm, tense or neutral? Don't overthink, just observe. The first thing that comes up is correct. Keep breathing, and bringing yourself into deep relaxation, just settling your body and letting all the words drop down around you as you drop your barriers and open your heart.

Now I want you to think of a person, someone that you know. Who is the first person that comes to mind, without questioning it? What's the first energy that you feel from them? Does the energy feel light, heavy, warm or distant? What is the first thing that comes to mind? What colour do you see when you think of them? Can you see a colour around them, or maybe you see a colour in your third eye? Trust whatever is coming up. No second guessing. Energy is faster than light. Keep breathing. Now just visualise that person and that energy fading away, dissipating into the distance in your mind space.

Now I want you to shift your focus into the room that you are sitting in or lying in. Your eyes are still closed. What is the energy in here? Do a scan in front of you, behind you, above you, below you and side to side. Scan the room. Expand beyond the body. You can even step out of the body, knowing there is a cord tied, connected, Spirit to human. Can you shift around the body? Or maybe you stay still and you just sense the energy of the room. Can you sense any cold spots, any warmth, or any areas that feel different? Just noticing what you notice. This is a time that you may even pick up on spirits, or even residue that has been left behind from other people. Just notice what you notice, with no judgment.

Your brain and body are wired to pick up energy signals 24/7. Your ability to detect shifts in frequency, temperature and emotional fields is literally natural. This was a God given gift to you from birth. All righty, I want you to start to bring your attention back to the body from wherever you have drifted. Bringing the attention to behind your eyelids, noticing what you notice. Noticing that you have a body, noticing the outline of the body, noticing you have feet that are grounded. Notice where you are lying or sitting. Taking a nice deep breath into the belly, breathing out the mouth, bringing full awareness into the body completely, and when you are ready, blinking your eyes open. Welcome back. Taking your time.

What we sometimes don't realise is we can actually step out of the body, and we can start actually moving around the room. We can pick up on Spirit, on residue. We can literally notice if there is a shift in temperature, or if something just feels a little bit different. So we've covered personal energy, other people's energy, and spaces and places. There's a difference between a ghost and a spirit. A ghost is simply a residue that has been left behind. It's an echo of what was. A spirit literally can communicate with us, and has a consciousness to it. What I really wanted to bring forward to you in this session is to scan yourself personally, check in with other people, and read the room, literally.

The other thing I wanted to leave you with is the difference between judgment and awareness. Often when we are reading somebody or reading a room, we go to our brain and we're like, oh my gosh, I am such a judgmental person, I can't believe I thought that about this person. Have you ever done that, to find out three years later that your instinct the first time was correct, but your mind had come in and called you judgmental? There is a difference between judgment and awareness, and if you meet someone or you have a sense about something, don't doubt it. The moment that you doubt yourself and you feel like you're being judgmental is the moment that you give away your power.

So what do I say about this? Awareness is just an energy. It is simply just an energy of knowing and truth. A judgment has a charge, like, I don't like that person because of A, B, C and D. That's a judgment. If you just have an awareness that somebody might not be an energetic fit, a right fit for you, or, no, I don't like that house, then at the end of the day, just go with that. We never buy homes on our mind. We go with the feeling, and so many of us do this. Like I mentioned in one of our very first videos, CEOs, athletes and all these high level investors are using their gut instinct for the big deals, not necessarily their mind. If their gut says no, they say no, no matter how good on paper it looks.

So don't judge yourself for having awarenesses. Sometimes it is just what it is, and we don't have to go into judgment. We can just trust our gut instinct. So remember, you're always reading energy. But now, with this conscious awareness of how to do it, you can do it intuitively and you can do it consciously. I'm just here to give you the tools to help open you up to your psychic abilities on the next level. I would love for you to share something that you learn with a loved one, because when we are telling people about it, when we're writing things down, when we're sharing and it's being witnessed, we are really anchoring in the knowledge that we're getting, rather than just consuming. Like I said, your skill set is super important, and this is how we activate, align, attune and strengthen those psychic abilities.
