Some sketches I kept forgetting to share here!

These are from a few gesture drawing sessions I did with Zeet studio last year.

Hi all, I got an ask on my other blog but it's more suited to this one so will answer here this is a very long post so be warned haha -

Backstory -

My grandmother came from Ireland, she was called Ellen and she had a lot of experiences such as visions in dreams coming true, she had heightened claires, knowing when things would happen such as accidents in the family, people being in hospital, mediumship (seeing her loved one by her bed) etc.

I have had abilities from being a child, (I think everyone has these abilities they are just more in tune with specific people) mainly being - I would affect lights/electronics whenever my emotions would get heightened angry/sad lights would flicker rapidly or blow, electronics would freeze or go crazy - This still happens to this day.

I also would get what I called a 'death smell' before a pet would pass away on my hands it would be extremely pungent and it didn't matter if I washed my hands or not the smell would linger for days and then a few days or a few weeks later a pet would pass away, this happened a dozen times - we had sooo many guinea pigs growing up! Then this progressed to before family members passed away, my grandad and my grandma on seperate occasions whilst I lived very far away at the time.

The last time this happened I got it before I moved house two years ago, on my right hand, It was so pungent It was making me want to be sick, it had never been so strong so I honestly thought my mother passed as she has heart failure. Few minutes later I went outside with my dog holding the lead with my right hand ha, and a lady came at us with an electric bike she ran over my dog (she's fine) and the lady came flying off her handle bars. I've also had other experiences of things like a fire burning a hotel near our hotel on holiday this is when I was super small, and looking up to a blackened out window and in the window there was a figure stood, they were bright white. I've had quite a few I think medium experiences.

I won't write all on here as it would be too long. My mother thought I was practically the devil ha, I was brought up as a jehovas witness and she would get me to pray to have these abilities taken away, it made me feel like a freak but I now think that my abilities are super cool.

Anyways growing up I always could read people, usually within a few minutes of knowing them I could tell if they (were not a good person or they were a good person type of thing) + knowing things about people. For instance a past boyfriend within the first date even though he showed no signs of aggression was charming and lovely, I knew instinctively that he had anger management problems, to which I asked him and he confirmed that he had been in cbt for anger.

Skip forward and one day whilst resting my eyes I had a vision of train tracks beneath my feet moving rapidly (this is the first vision I ever had) and then I had a vision of a woman and a man arguing next to a body of water. The woman's head turned away and so I quickly drew these down on paper, a few weeks later I showed my sister, she confirmed this was her and her fiance, they were stood next to a body of water a few days previously having one of the biggest arguments they've ever had. From then forwards I've continued to have visions -

Visions + Claire development -

My visions come in all sorts of ways usually as symbolism but other times like I'm stood there watching things unfold infront of me. The visions move and I have to be in a relaxed state to have them, I usually have the most visions when I'm in a darkish room and I've got my frequency music playing and I'm doing something with my hands like holding a crystal, shuffling cards etc. I kind of follow through my visions, you know that art thing where inside of a drawing of an eye is a universe then you click through the universe and then there is a frog and the frog leads to a building (not sure what you call that art but it's on it ipad haha) anyways that's kinda how sometimes I go through my visions. I sometimes get words pop into my head, sometimes I get them directly flash up in my mind.

Vision wise I've done so many vision reads now and a few have stood out to me that have shocked me to my core. One vision I had was me having to tell someone to not pickup smoking again as I got the distinct smell of tobacco smoke with their reading and not being able to breathe properly (didn't know they used to smoke and still smoked from time to time) another one was someone I saw suicidal images and a lot of very disturbing images pop through and they opened up to me and explained that they were suicidal and that's why I had seen bottles of pills in my vision, I've seen a crumpled yellow daffodil flower in a vision which is the Marie curie flower and their stepfather had just seen a Marie curie nurse. I've had allsorts of incredjnle reads come through.

I also do tarot reads with my visions I'm still learning tarot, when I'm shuffling sometimes the cards push upwards with force, tend to stick to my hands sometimes as I'm shuffling. Usually the relevant ones pop out, sometimes I feel things when connecting to specific cards, sadness, joy, heat from the cards etc.

Anyways the more I've been practising visions for people in my own life relevant I've seen many things such as the person I was having a vision of pacing rapidly around their room, seen them get out of bed etc. The more I practise the more different claires seem to pop up etc and the more I seem to be more attuned to them, I've seen loved ones connected to other people in my visions etc.

I never believed in things like spirit guides but I truly believe they are real from trying to connect with them. One day whilst trying to connect when I first delved into all this properly and asked for signs they were present, I got a chill run through me, not a I'm cold chill but like energy passing through me it was so cold and such a surreal experience. The same day cards were flying across the room whilst doing tarot and at 3am the same night my sons old potty ontop of my wardrobe upstairs (I was downstairs) started flushing over and over and over again. I've also seen what look like two massive balls of energy on my living room ceiling whilst connecting with them. So I'm pretty certain in myself that they are real, even though I had never believed in spirit guides my entire life.

I also have have silly things recently like for instance I keep having dreams of coming on my period and then when I wake up I go to the bathroom and it's just started or a few hours later that day because I never know when I'm due on as I have pcos so can skip months. I also had a dream about soulmates like three years ago and I got distinctly the name akshan come through (I've never heard this name in my life) and never revived names in dreams so wrote it down - I looked it up and this is what it means -  The name is connected to the symbolic significance of the eye in Hinduism, representing vision and spiritual insight, including the concept of a "third eye" which I thought was pretty awesome I got this dream before I got my first vision.

So this page really is for practise, I don't feel confident enough to sell any service until I'm absolutely amazing and feel at a point I can offer services paid but until then they will be free.

I think everyone has these abilities 100% I think some people are more naturally attuned to them kind of like singers right? Some people are naturally amazing but other singers have to have singing lessons for years you know? I think I'm probably more attuned because of my grandmother's side, but wow I have so much to learn and develop it's unreal.

Funnily enough my own son he's six, seems to be very connected with his abilities we are very in sync always saying the same stuff, singing the same songs at the same time, I will be thinking of a song in my head and he will start singing it, this is what happens with me and other people too, he also sees imagary, and can know what's on the other side of cards when they are flipped over like me, he also when he was super small sat up on the sofa and said his cousins name, and something very disturbing about her passing. This was when he could barely talk and it was very creepy and surreal. His father at the time told their parents and they now keep a very close eye on her around water. But I don't want to push anything onto him, if he wants to delve into his abilities when he's older then I will fully support that :)

Ćwiczyłam przejścia w kolorach, więc poczyniłam tęczową zarazę, aby tych kolorów upchnąć jak najwięcej. Kredki ołówkowe z Action są chujowe, większość kolorów ledwo rysuje, więc trzeba było cisnąć srogo. W międzyczasie cały czas wbijały mi się paznokcie (kciuk we wskazującego i na odwrót), bo mam długie. Jak nie będę mieć pęcherzy na palcach to będzie cud 🫠

Mimo że lubię bawić się w gradienty, to cieszę się, że już skończyłam ten rysunek XD jestem pewna, że jakbym go przerwała choćby w końcówce, to już nigdy bym do niego nie wróciła.

Ma vibe trochę jak te Sugar Skull z 2013 roku xD

"Pour faire court : Vous écrivez pour changer le monde, tout en sachant parfaitement que vous n'y parviendrez probablement pas, mais en étant également conscient que la littérature est indispensable au monde. Le monde change en fonction de la façon dont les gens le voient, et si vous modifiez, ne serait-ce que d'un millimètre, la façon dont les gens regardent la réalité, alors vous pouvez la changer… S'il n'y a pas de question morale, il n'y a pas de raison d'écrire. Je suis un écrivain à l'ancienne et, malgré tout, je veux changer le monde"

“The bottom line is this: You write in order to change the world, knowing perfectly well that you probably can’t, but also knowing that literature is indispensable to the world. The world changes according to the way people see it, and if you alter, even by a millimeter, the way people look at reality, then you can change it…If there is no moral question, there is no reason to write. I’m an old-fashioned writer and, despite the odds, I want to change the world”

Recovery from Illness, Tai Chi and Qigong

I might be perceiving this completely wrongly, but I’m sure that I recover quicker from illnesses (colds, coughs, stomach upsets, back problems etc.) when I’m in the middle of my teaching term compared to the breaks that I take between terms. Before I began teaching 20-25 classes a week on a regular basis, I would practise every day, getting up extra early in order to do so (I took Sundays…
