Interview with Tracy Farquhar, Part II

Tracy Farquhar

Last week, Tracy talked about how she first realized she had extraordinary gifts and gave advice on how to get started if you, too, are in interested in cultivating your psychic abilities. Please enjoy the final segment of our interview.

Pat: How would you say that can we grow, as human beings, by listening to our intuition and trusting in otherworldly phenomena that we can’t see with our eyes or can’t always “prove”? In other words, how do experiences like these enhance our lives if we allow them to?

Tracy: Our brains are amazing processors of information. They can be compared to computers, which make sense of the information we receive through our physical senses so that we can function as humans. And like a computer, our brains require programming to determine the way we process those bits of information. The brain is programmed by our learned beliefs, our culture and our personal experiences, and as such, they are not always the best guidance system. Our higher senses are more connected to our higher wisdom, so we will often feel an “urge” or intuitive sense that we should follow a certain path or investigate a certain opportunity, even if it doesn’t make logical sense to our brain. If we ignore those signals, we may be missing out on some amazing life experiences and we may keep ourselves stuck in situations that aren’t in our highest good. We all tune in to those higher senses at various times without even realizing it, like when we can feel the energy in a room or when we sense the way something or someone feels beyond what our five senses tell us. Our intuition can also help us avoid dangerous and harmful experiences. A couple years ago, I was driving on a highway when I “got” a voice in my head that said, “Stay away from the trucks.” So I passed a line of tractor trailers ahead of me and continued on. A little while later, I heard it again and realized I was behind another huge truck so I eased off the gas to leave a lot of room between us when suddenly the tread completely unraveled from the gigantic back tire of the truck and came flying at my car. Because I had listened to that voice and backed off, the tread hit the road in front of my car instead of my windshield, and I was so grateful that I knew enough to pay attention to what I was receiving. I don’t know where that voice came from; it could have been my Higher Self, my guides, a loved one in spirit or even Source itself, but all I need to know is that it helped me avoid a potentially deadly outcome.

P: Yes. I’ve had similar experiences, for sure, but didn’t always know why I got the idea to take a different turn or something. I’m learning to trust these kinds of moments, though, because we don’t always know what could happen if we ignore the messages. Ok; on to my next question–without mentioning names, can you share one of your favorite psychic connection moments?

T: Once, fairly early in my career as a psychic medium, I was doing a spirit gallery, which is a group mediumship event, and I was connecting with a spirit (I don’t remember who it was) for a woman in the audience. I saw a white car, which felt important, but the woman said she didn’t have a white car. I then saw child safety seats in the car, but the woman said she didn’t have any children. I got a strong sense that the safety seats needed to be adjusted and tightened, but again the woman shrugged and didn’t seem to connect with the information. I urged her to take note of it, though, because it felt important. About a week later, the woman emailed me and said that the day after the reading, she went to her job at a daycare and realized that the van they used to transport the children was white, and that it had child safety seats in it, so she went into the van and tightened all the straps holding the seats down. A few days later, the van full of children was broadsided by a speeding car. She came out of it with cracked ribs, but all the children were safe. 

P: Wow! That was right on! Glad everyone survived. And now, we are going through some difficult times in our world. Do you have any advice for us on how to cope?

T: First of all, know that your reactions and responses to this unique situation are personal to you, and it will be in your best interest to allow any fluctuating emotional responses to flow without trying to suppress them. If the tears come, allow them. If you feel frustrated or angry, sit with those emotions and consider healthy ways to work through them, like doing some physical activity or writing them down. If you’re feeling fear, ask what action that fear is motivating. Healthy actions include limiting public activity, washing your hands, wearing a mask, and doing everything you can to stay safe. Beyond that, fear is not helping you, so it’s time to turn your attention to what feels better. If you have more time on your hands, this is a perfect opportunity to get back in touch with your creative nature in any way you like. Try some creative expression or creative thinking that’s different from what you normally allow yourself to do or think. We are experiencing a tremendous global shift, the likes of which no one alive today has ever experienced, and you can participate by deciding what to do with it in your own life. Be aware of what’s going on, but understand that you don’t need to immerse yourself in it 24/7. Turn off the news. Make choices based on how you want to feel, and how you want to come out of the other side of this experience. How do you want this to affect your life? You get to decide whether this will inspire you toward something better, or crush you under the weight of fear and despair. Know that your choices and actions not only affect your own personal life, they affect the energetic trajectory of our planet, so make compassionate, kind and loving choices wherever possible. And most of all, be compassionate, kind and loving to yourself, since that’s where it all begins.

P: Has Frank any advice on dealing with our current world situation and feelings of anxiety and fear?

T: Frank, the collective I channel, has been encouraging us for several years as we move through this shift. Much of what they channeled in both of my books, Frank Talk and Channeled Messages from Deep Space, is very relevant to the world situation at this time. They continue to urge us to stay focused on the desired result in all aspects of our own life and the world at large. As I mentioned above, they suggest that we engage in creative acts and to embrace the possibilities for change and expansion. Creative thinking is needed now to come up with new systems that will better serve our world, as this has been a period of revealing the truths around the systems that no longer work. They would like us to continue to appreciate and care for our world and understand how precious it is, and how all of our actions are interconnected, which is something we can certainly see during this crisis. 

P: That’s great advice, for sure. In closing, is there a question you wish someone would ask you, but you’ve never been asked?

T: How does being a professional psychic medium affect your everyday life? In all aspects of my life apart from my career, I live a pretty quiet and low-key life, which is by choice. As an extreme introvert, I prefer being at home and I have a small circle of close friends. While my career puts me in the public eye, I’m not sure I’d want the degree of fame that some of the big-name psychic mediums have. The mainstream views on people in my profession can be pretty harsh and I’ve occasionally been the target of ridicule, fear and scathing criticism. Some of the reviews of my books have been hard to read, but I’m less and less affected by criticism as I get older. One of the things I learned from Frank as I was writing my books was that if anyone criticizes or ridicules my work, that just means it’s not for them, so I don’t have to be concerned with what they say. This has helped me a lot through the years, and now I’m not too concerned with the skeptics. I’m proud of the work I do and I know I’ve done some good in the world with my gifts, and I’m pleased that I’ve been able to support myself and my two kids with it. It certainly hasn’t been an easy road and I certainly haven’t become wealthy from it, but it’s been incredibly enlightening and fulfilling, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

P: A huge thank you, Tracy, for doing this interview with me. I’ll bet there are a lot of people who have questions for you now that they’ve been introduced to you. Are you offering any specials or discounts to people who may be reading this post?

Interview with Psychic Medium, Channel, Teacher, & Hay House Author–the Incredible Tracy Farquhar

Tracy Farquhar

I’ve known Tracy Farquhar for quite a few years now. Not only do I know from personal experience that she is an extraordinary human being, I also know that she is an extraordinary psychic medium, teacher and author. Tracy is the real deal–truly gifted–like nothing I have ever seen.

Years ago, she helped me find a friend I’d lost contact with for years. Unfortunately this dear friend had passed away several years before I enlisted Tracy’s help, but because of her help, I was able to “connect” with this old friend and find some much-needed peace and closure.

Tracy has authored two books. The first is titled, Frank Talk: A Book of Channeled Wisdom. According to her website, www.tracyfarquhar.com:

“Frank is a spirit collective from another world channeled by Tracy. They have been sharing inspirational and uplifting messages since 2009.

Also from www.tracyfarquhar.com

Tracy’s second book is titled, From Deep Space with Love: A Conversation about Consciousnessthe Universe and Building a Better World, co-authored with NY Times Best-Selling Author, star of The Secret and celebrated speaker Mike Dooley, was released by Hay House on May 9, 2017, and the paperback version, Channeled Messages from Deep Space: Wisdom for a Changing World, was released on September 18, 2018.”

Tracy also teaches psychic development training classes and workshops and provides personal mediumship services, spirit galleries, and coaching for clients. And she does all of this in her kind, caring, and warm manner. I am truly honored to know this remarkable and gifted woman.

Following is my interview with her:

Pat: Thanks so very much for doing this interview with me, Tracy. To begin, will you please tell us about when you first realized that you had spiritual abilities? How old were you?

Tracy: I’ve always been extremely sensitive and was easily overwhelmed by crowds, noise and high-energy situations. I was a loner as a child and never had a lot of friends, so in sixth grade I was sent to the school psychologist for some tests to see what was “wrong” with me. I spent most of my life believing these sensitivities were a fault until my 40s when I started taking a continuing education course in psychic development at a local community college. I had always been interested in metaphysical and paranormal topics but never thought that I had any talents in this area until I started doing some practice readings in those classes which showed me that not only was I pretty good at it, I also had a real passion for this work. My life changed in so many ways when I discovered that my lifelong sensitivities were actually gifts, rather than faults, and I took this course over and over again to continue practicing and experimenting with my abilities.

P: Did your parents or grandparents have these gifts? Your siblings?

T: I have one sister who has psychic abilities, and I have a recently-discovered half-brother who seems to be sensitive and spiritually-inclined.

P: Tell us how you began to develop your gifts in the beginning.

T: I was working as a secretary at an arts college while I was taking the psychic development classes, and the art students loved getting free readings, so that’s how I practiced in the beginning. Fortunately, the faculty were very understanding and supportive, and even incorporated my readings into some of the students’ assignments. After a while, when I felt ready, I started offering group and individual sessions as a side business, and when my psychic development teacher had a heart attack and couldn’t teach anymore, I started a weekly group that met in my home for about two years for further practice and sharing.

P: What were some of the hardest lessons you learned along the way?

T: I learned early on that I had to avoid trying to interpret everything I was receiving and instead, just convey it. The first time I did a reading outside of the classroom for a student in the college, I picked up on a spirit who showed himself to me with dark hair and a slim build, wearing a white apron and holding a knife. I thought the knife seemed creepy so I left that out of the description I gave the girl I was reading, but it turned out that it was her grandfather who was a butcher! The knife wasn’t creepy at all; it was a way for him to identify himself, so I had to learn that it was my job to describe what I was receiving rather than interpret it though my own filters. I also used to feel bad if someone cried in a reading, but I learned that tears can be healing and can express more than just sadness. And as my confidence in my abilities grew, I learned that just because someone isn’t relating to something I’m telling them in the context of a reading, it doesn’t mean that I’m necessarily wrong. I’ve had many clients who didn’t understand something during the reading but who contacted me later to tell me they thought about it later, or asked other family members about it and found it the information was actually accurate. So I don’t doubt myself as much as I used to.

P: That’s a lesson I think most of us need to learn to apply to other aspects of our lives as well–not to doubt ourselves so much and to have more confidence in who we are. I also believe that we all have psychic abilities to some degree, don’t you?

T: I absolutely believe that we all have higher senses in addition to our five physical senses that help us process reality, but our culture doesn’t support those senses so we tend to consciously block them. Many children exhibit tendencies to interact with spirit, or sense energy in a way that seems natural to them, but because it’s not encouraged and, in fact, it’s often ridiculed or feared in our culture, they will learn to block those abilities. But we all receive intuitive and psychic information on a subconscious level; we just think it’s coming from our own thoughts and ideas. Learning to bring that awareness into our conscious daily lives can greatly enhance our life experience by making us more confident in our ability to make decisions, helping us to feel more connected to each other and the natural world, and raising our awareness about the spirit world and the guidance we regularly receive. That’s why I teach intuitive and psychic development, because I know how life-changing it can be to accept these innate and powerful forms of awareness.

P: Some people might say that connecting with spirits and/or using Tarot cards is dark and evil and that if we choose to go there, we might be entering a world from which there is no turning back, so we shouldn’t mess with these things…

T: Your experience is going to be guided by your intention in all areas of your life. So if your intention in doing this work is to connect with the dark or evil side, then your experience will reflect that intention (even if it is not what is actually happening, your brain will interpret it that way). If you believe, either by learning from religious training or just from our fearful culture that these things are dark and evil, then that means that these experiences are not for you and you should probably steer clear of them. But also understand that it’s a learned belief, and not the truth. My intention in all the work I do is to uplift, inspire, guide and motivate my clients to live their best life, and as such, there is never anything remotely dark, evil or threatening about any of the connections I make or the tools that I use. I have helped thousands of people to get a higher perspective on their life’s path, learn to trust themselves more, know that their loved ones in spirit are in a peaceful and happy place, and understand their challenges as opportunities for growth and higher wisdom. What could possibly be evil about that?

P: Indeed. To expound on this a bit more, I’ve heard people say that they’re concerned about evil entities attaching to them or attacking them or those around them–especially when they are just attempting to learn mediumship. Is that something a beginner might need to be careful of?

T: Mediumship is the ability to connect with the non-physical world, and for most people, this evokes a lot of fear. That’s because it seems to be the great unknown, and because we have such a fear of death. The media always depicts spirit entities as evil or negative, and the paranormal programs on TV always seem to focus on demonic energy, so it’s not surprising that there would be so much fear around connecting with spirit. It’s unfortunate, because that fear acts as the lens through which we interpret any kind of spirit communication. If you have an unusual experience, which may be a loved one simply letting you know that they’re still with you, your fear may cause you to interpret it as a negative experience. Consider what it’s like to walk down a dark street in an unfamiliar place; you’re on high alert because you’re nervous and fearful. If a cat suddenly darted in front of you, you’d probably jump and maybe scream, because your mind is interpreting the experience through fear. So the first thing to do is to deal with your fear. If you are nervous about evil entities attaching to you, you should probably not be practicing mediumship. Set clear intentions that you’re only connecting with higher beings and the spirits of loved ones. Your intentions are the guiding force of your experience, so always make sure you have clear intentions for what you want out of your connections. In all the years I’ve been practicing, I’ve never connected with anything remotely negative. Set your intentions, call in protection from your guides, angels and Higher Self, and proceed with confidence. If you’re working with a teacher, make sure their teaching resonates with you and isn’t creating unnecessary fear, and realize that if there were so many evil entities wanting to attach to you, there would be a whole lot of mediums (and other people) being hurt and “possessed” by them.

P: Sounds like good advice to me. Whenever I’ve witnessed you doing readings for myself or others, you always exude gentleness, respect, warmth and kindness and because of this, I think your whole presence is comforting to people. And it also brings goosebumps. And sometimes tears because of the profound connections that you make when you do readings. So when you do connect with those on the “other side,” how do you perceive them? Do you see them? Hear them? Or just simply sense that they’re there?

T: The two ways that I receive the most information from spirit are clairvoyance and clairsentience. Clairvoyance is “clear seeing” so this is where I receive images in my inner vision. Spirit will often show themselves to me in a physical way so that I can describe them, and I’ll sometimes see scenes from their life or images of things that are important to them. Clairsentience is “clear feeling” and that’s when I receive feelings and emotions that I then have to translate into language. This will happen when spirit wants to describe how they felt about certain things and when they want to convey emotion to their loved ones. Clairaudience is “clear hearing,” and this is more of an internal hearing of words rather than hearing something externally with the ears, which also sometimes happens for me, as well as clairallience, which is “clear smelling” and clairgustance, or “clear tasting” since smell and taste are such strong memory triggers.
