Janet Raftis, certified in Pranic Healing, Matrix Energetics and as a Reiki Master, joins Tonya Dawn Recla to talk about her experience being a psychic healer. Janet has played with energy her entire life, and now includes speaking to angels, Spirit, and guides. She’s able to psychically see, hear, feel, sense and know what Spirit wishes to reveal to her clients. Listen in and she and Tonya talk about the courage it takes to step forward into this work and the immense gratification of delivering Spirit’s messages in a psychically healing way.
Hello, everyone. This is Tonya Dawn Recla, your Super Power Expert, and I’m so excited to have with me today Janet Raftis, who’s psychic, intuitive, healer, all that yummy goodness like mixed up in one, and she talks about chronic healing, matrix energies, so all that fun stuff that we love to dive into here at SuperPower Up! and with the Super Power Experts. She works closely with Elicia Miller on retreats, and you’ve heard her interview on our show. So she brings this really neat angle to things, and she’s open about it. I really love the fact that she’s very, very present with her abilities and what she’s capable of, and she doesn’t shadow those for anybody, so I appreciate people who are willing to step into that space and act as that model for others who may be thinking they’re a little bit crazy to think that they talk to spirit, and guides, and angels, and all this stuff. Just know that you’re in good company here with this crowd, so I’m excited for Janet to share with all of you her journey and how she got to be that confident in that space. So, Janet, welcome to the show.
Angels
Thank you, Tonya. It’s really great to be here with you.
Oh, I’m so excited. So we start off immediately, of course, asking you what are you super powers?
So I would say that the realm of energy is my super power, and within that definitely the super power I have is psychic healing. I am a powerful energy healer, and as you mentioned, I’ve studied various modalities, but even more than the modalities that I’ve studied, I am intuitive, and I’m able to connect with each individual’s angels and guides, and really get to the source of what’s going on. I’m able to psychically see the root cause of issues that may be showing up either as physical symptoms, or blocks, or limiting beliefs, so forth and so on, so I can look in actually see if there was a trauma that occurred of if there was some other event that is operating, or if it was some sort of chronic stress that contributed to it, and then start shifting that energy and connect with guides so that the person is able to know for … because we’re all unique individuals, what they need in order to heal to for the rest and highest good. And with that I’m able to open up and powerfully channel the healing energy of spirit.
Psychic healing
Beautiful. Beautiful. I love that these words just kind of roll off your tongue, but I know that for a lot of people the journey even into considering themselves a healer, you know, we’re talking about being a psychic healer, even just saying that piece is sometimes a journey for people, and then we throw on top of it the components of intuitive, and psychic, and all these other things, and it’s like how did you get to the place to where you were really confident just letting that stuff roll off your tongue?
Yeah. So it was a journey for sure. I’ve always been able to see energy my whole life. I could see energy. I didn’t know what it was. I thought I was weird. I recognized that other people weren’t seeing the same things I was seeing, and I shut it down for a long time. When it re-opened, like activated, it was really intense, and at that time in my life, I mean, I was not brought up religiously or anything, so I sensed that there was something greater than myself, but I didn’t really care about it for a long time. You know, because I just wanted to be numb because it was too much. So when it all activated, I was like, “Well, I’m doing this healing thing, and I can feel the energy, and I can see the energy, but I do not believe in angels. Like angels are just stupid, blah, blah, blah.” Like I was really a naysayer about it.
Fairies were all around me.
My experience was that I was in a session one day, and I was like, “Oh my god. There’s an angel here.” And not only was there an angel there, but I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt there was an angel there. I knew who it was. It was Archangel Michael. I knew why he was there, and I knew how he was helping me. I had a few more experiences like that, because I was like, “I believe in angels now, but I don’t believe in fairies.” Then I had another similar experience, and at some point I recognized … I know, right? Sometimes I’m slow. Not only did I see fairies, I realized they were all around me. That’s another thing, too. So what I realized was that the only limitations were the limitations I was placing on myself. Spirit is an infinite source of potential. Anything can exist. Anything, anything, anything, and when I placed a limit on it, that’s the only reason the limit exist, right, because Spirit can do anything.
So I think at the time … my ex-husband at the time was … I mean, he was not my ex at the time, but he was like, “Oh, you’re a witch, and blah, blah, blah.” He wasn’t mean about it, but there was definitely this like discomfort with it in someways, even though he was amazingly open to healing, to receiving it. Then other people, you know at the time, there was a lot of like, “Reiki? What’s that?” Or “What are you doing? That’s weird.” I had to really get right with it. I mean that was the thing that me doing my healing work, doing my emotional healing work, me being consistent in my practice and showing up every day, and continuing to connect with my higher power, my higher self, all of that lead me down this path of really owning my gifts, and owning what I can do, and really recognizing that I’m not for everyone. There are people who are going to be like, “She’s a weirdo.” Right? There just are, and they may or may not want to work with me or know me or whatever, and that’s fine. But there are plenty of people who need what I have, and who can benefit from what I can do for them, and how I can support them and help them, and so I have to be vocal about it. I have to put it out there, otherwise they can’t find me.
Yeah. I think there’s this similar thread that kind of weaves throughout a lot of people’s journeys, and it really is the idea that you’re the only one stopping yourself, and when I got good with saying 95% of the people I talk to aren’t going to hear everything that I’m saying, at least at the level that I’m speaking at, and that’s okay, and speaking for the 5%, and not watering that down, not stepping away from that space, because people are starving for that, and we’re all here to help our little faction of the world, and that’s okay, and recognizing that we only get that push back and that resistance from people when we don’t have conviction around it. As soon as we step into conviction, it’s like, “Oh, look at that.” Like everybody else just kind of calms down. I teach people that even internally that we’ve got all these different aspects of ourselves that are dialoguing within us, and it’s like when you take that throne, and when you really sit in your own self dominion, everybody calms down, even all your own little fear pieces, and then we see that projected in the external environment. It’s like nobody really ever cared or question you. It was just that you needed that.
I love the fact that you bring up your relationship, because that … I don’t know that I am vocal enough about what a gift it was in my existence that not only did my husband support what I was doing, but he was right there with me. He was channeling, and he was doing this thing, and we kind of fumbling through it together like, “Okay, well at least if we’re crazy, we’re crazy together.” You know?
Yes.
And it was such a gift to have that, and I know how we contracted for that, especially where our daughter’s concerned. But it was kind of us against the world for a little bit there, because … at least that that’s the projection that we created, and it helped, and so I think that what you speak is so valuable in the sense of find those people who believe in your. You’re reminding me during a time of my coaching, there were a lot of people I would say to them, “Make sure that the people that you’re surrounding yourself with are magnifying your greatness, or are modeling that, or are mirroring that for you, because there’s so much of the other. So many things in our existence will make us question ourselves. Protect yourself. Not protect in terms of like you need to fight, but give yourself that fighting chance of that level of support.” And that’s a lot of what Super Power Experts exists to do, because so many people don’t have that in their own lives, or they don’t see it yet in their own lives. I think we all have it, and so I appreciate that you’re willing to be open about that.
So what did that separation look like as you came into more and more levels of awareness around it?
I would say that my journey, more than anything else, has been a journey of self-empowerment, and as I’ve gone through my journey of self-empowerment, things have either resonated either more strongly with me, or the resonance between me and those things has dissipated, right, and so things have come in and out of my life, and people have come in and out of my life, and it really has all been a challenge, I mean, of course, in the moment it is challenging and it’s hard, and sometimes you’re kicking and screaming, so don’t get me wrong. I have done the work around it and have felt the feelings around it, and I’ve been joyous and I’ve been rage full, depending on the circumstances and my level of pain at the time.
I’m much more resilient now than I used to be, but in this process what I really recognized is that it is resonance. It is resonance. It’s vibrational resonance, and sometimes we want to hold onto something that doesn’t resonate anymore, just because we’re fearful, or it’s customary, or it’s habitual, or whatever it might be, right. The more that I have learned to let go of that which is really truly no longer serving me, and just release the reins as lovingly as possible, if that is available, and then to embrace what is resonating for me. The more I do that, the more beautiful my life is. It’s really a dance, and the more gracefully I can dance through that.
Beautiful depiction. I love the fact that you’re using all that language, because we felt a huge shift when I added in the component of attuning people to individual resonance, because when we started off it was match your personal power, and then hone your super powers. Like pretty easy, right? What we found was that people weren’t able to hold it, and so really attuning them to their resonance was such a powerful portion, and so the majority of the work that we do right now is in that attunement process, and continually helping people hold their own attunement, and realize it for longer and longer stretches of time on their own so they can move into that self dominion, because our biases is that you can’t use your superpowers in the world if you can’t do that. You may have blips of success with them, like you may get the psychic thing, or the empathy thing, or whatever it might be that you’re using, but you’re not able to hold it and use it consistently and effectively in a large way until you can sit solidly not only in that personal power space, but total self dominion in my opinion includes that resonance piece, and being able to maintain your own frequency no matter what the environment’s doing.
I think a lot of people set out on this personal development journey thinking that they’re going to somehow stop the chaos. You know that they’re somehow going to control the external environment, and it’s like, it’s never going to happen. Well, it does actually happen, but only when you no longer need it to. Like that’s the irony. Once you’ve got all these pieces in place, everything calms down. It’s like you kind of get that people are experiencing chaos, but you don’t really see it as that anymore.
Yeah.
So I love the fact that you were using all that. I want to move into a quick break, but before we do, where can people go to find out more about you?
So they can go to my website, which is JanetRaftis.com, and also for this group of listeners, I have a special gift, and that is at JanetRaftis.com/superpowerup.
Perfect. Very cool. So we’re talking with Janet Raftis. I just realized. What is the gift?
It is a free healing meditation, so it’s a healing meditation that I channeled for a group that I channel for every week, and it is one that is for prosperity and the laws of reciprocity, so it’s a healing meditation to help us find resonance with the Law of Reciprocity.
Beautiful. I love that. So we’re talking with Janet Raftis about being a psychic healer. We’re going to take a quick break, and we’ll be right back.
