Dancing with the Spirits: Lorenda Carr on Finding Psychic Abilities and Spiritual Growth Through Dance and Tarot

I love psychic mediums . Who I have with me right now , today , all sorts of alternative healing . I love hypnosis , I love rapid transformational therapy . I love it all .

And I feel that hopefully , you will receive some information that you did not know , some information to help you on your path in life , because , as you know , you are never too old to pursue a passion , to learn something new . So let's learn something new with Lorenda , who is , you know , an evidential psychic medium . No , you don't know .

I just said you know , but you don't know yet . She utilizes tarot , numerology , her own psychic intuition , qht I think that's quantum healing she and Dibaba Dibaba and all that good stuff , past life regression , all sorts of wonderful things . Pretty much . She's very cool and I will tell you how I found her .

There is a location in Indiana called Camp Chesterfield and it's a spiritualist community that I went to with my mother when I was very young for years and years and years and it's just like that . It sounds all things spiritual and very spiritual .

And I get their emails and I saw they were doing these little 20 minute readings , as it were , and I thought I'm going to do one of those , because you know I love that . And I looked through the list of readers available and I clicked on Lorenda . I liked the way she looked , I liked the vibe and had a 20 minute consult with her . It was amazing .

She's just darling . And now I follow her on TikTok and Instagram and I want you to also , because her wisdom and her fun and her nature shines through . Okay , let me shut up . Welcome , lorenda .

Obviously , Before we delve into your story and what you do and how you help people shine their light , how do you ignite your spark ?

I actually have a dance company and I figured out a really great way to always be able to perform professionally and never get fired . It's own your own . Yeah , fire me . I could give the worst performance ever and they'd be like oh , that's cute , they can't fire me .

I love that you shared that with people , because I forgot to mention it in the notes .

Funny , you mentioned you wanted to take a tap class because we actually , when we started our studio during the pandemic and that my partner and I were working in another place , we just didn't feel comfortable going back . There's a lot of things going on . We're like , okay , this might be the time to start our studio , but how do we do it safely ?

And we started a virtual studio and we ended up hiring a lot of dance teachers in all over the country because they were out of work . Like we're talking about Broadway , we had three people on Broadway that were on our staff because they were no longer working and so they were able to teach classes virtually .

People were tuning in from their homes from my basement , I was tuning in and so we established our studio online virtually . So we still offer that as an option , especially with COVID coming and going and sickness and just life in general .

Yeah , that kid who really wants to come to dance , but maybe mom is sick , they can let us know and we'll we still zoom them into our class . We have a physical studio now , but we still zoom people in and we'll still zoom in guest teachers and they love it .

I want to go into with you how did you first discover your psychic abilities ?

So I was often , you know , hey , children seeing , not heard , but I could literally complete someone's sentence . I knew what they were going to say . Next , I knew when bad weather was coming , without knowing anything .

I knew there were a lot of things I knew , but I just thought everybody knew those things , like it was common sense to me and I would have , you know , cool dreams . But it wasn't until I was much older that I and I'd always gone to psychics . They kept telling me you're going to be , you're going to do what I do .

You're going to be , you're a medium , you're going to do this stuff . I'm like , no , I don't know . I don't know . I don't see the dead people . I don't , because I thought , in order to do the work , you had to see physically , see people that were no longer living . So I just thought I didn't have a gift because I couldn't see it , I had no idea that .

You know , there were other ways to do this until I was older . And then , once my kids got older , I started delving in a little bit more and teaching myself tarot and just deep diving , but it's been . It wasn't until gosh , maybe 2017 that I was at a . I was at a tap dance festival and another psychic medium was there .

So a friend of mine and said , hey , so we were talking about something . I said , oh , I'm not . I'm not a medium . Like I get intuition , I do tarot and sometimes I'll hear , like I'll know that a grandma has a message and I'll say it , but it comes with a tarot card . But I'm not a medium . She just laughs .

She goes what , what do you think a medium is exactly ? And I told her well , see the dead people . She goes no , that's not how that works , honey . And then so she really broke things down and she hooked me up with a mentor and and then it's just taken off . Since then , it's just been .

It's been a crazy , crazy journey to go from completing sentences to now doing the work that I do , and now what's funny is I am starting to see them physically . It's like that's a Claire that's kicking in . They'll sometimes show up for me , but yeah , so that's . That's the really fast short version of my journey .

But we have to be willing to open ourselves to that , and you were willing at that time , and I really believe whether some people think I'm nuts or not that this is the time when the floodgates are opening for so many more people .

Those who had just a little tiny bit of psychic abilities are now , if they're willing , like yourself , because the world needs it . I've said this before I can see a future I really can where , instead of saying I'm going to my primary care physician , I got to go to my psychic today , I got to go to my medium today .

You know , I really see that in the future 20 , 30 years future but I think it's such an important thing and hopefully we can all connect to that part within .

Like , is this something that's coming from the now life or a past life ? You can do that now to a degree and sometimes you'll get the responsibility go to the doctors , you need medication . So I agree , I think that we are headed towards a world where doctors won't be obsolete . But I think medicine will look different .

It will have a little more holistic , whole being , mind , body , spirit component , as opposed to well , we're just going to look at it from a scientific point of view just your body , boom done . But I think there's , I agree , I think , with the world opening up and things shifting the way they are , that's where we're headed .

And so , yes , qhhd itself has to be in person , but I've actually had people come in from all over the place to have sessions with me and now it's kind of nice to be like . Are you sure we can do this virtually ? I could teach them how to set up a safe space , and what it is is .

You're tapping into a past life and you're subconscious figuring out who you used to be , and your subconscious will only show you what matters for today and your current life and what questions you're asking now . So I even tell people like well , even if you don't believe in past life or any of the woo-woo , it doesn't matter .

Your brain's going to your conscious , or your subconscious mind is going to show you what the scenarios you need to see and give you the answers you need , because then , once we see those things , we contact the higher self , that cloud that I call the cloud above my head , my actual self , and ask the hard questions and get answers for yourself as far as like

what really ? Any , you name it . Whatever questions you have about your life , that's a great way , a great resource . So , yeah , I only do that in person , as QHHD Got it , but there are other things you do ?

I'm not quite to the point where I want to offer that as a service , but I love doing that with my colleagues and with my mentor and taking classes .

But when I and I have done inspirational , inspirational speaking , which is like it's kind of like channeling during a mediumship reading , where a grandmother's like listen , stop interpreting , I'm just going to talk and I let and I just say exactly what I hear them or they're impressing upon me , but I'd say out of all of them , because even with the QHHT , with

the permission of the client , I can bring their guides in , I can bring their team in . I can feel their loved ones step in . They're getting ready to support them through this journey and help them go through . So I love incorporating the mediumship in anything that I can , with permission of course , if that makes sense .

And I want to try that because I do believe , as I've said in many times , we all have something that needs healing , whether it's physical , mental , spiritual , relationship , relational , whatever it is , there's always a way , and it's hard sometimes for us as just to do it on our own .

I mean , you said , you took , you delved into all this on your own , you learned to row on your own . You didn't get guided to do this .

You know , I just got a book and I started taking notes and keeping a journal and learning kind of like the language , like whatever I would feel when I would again not understanding that this was a form of mediumship , but I would open the book , I'd look at the card and then like it'd almost like be highlighted off , jumping off the page , like I know which

definition to go with , and so I did start teaching myself and then I decided I would give in and do a Biddy Tarot .

Biddy Tarot is out of Australia and it big into Tarot and I ended up taking one of their courses and just really took everything I'd been learning from all these websites , the YouTube and all these little free workshops here and there , and it put it all into one and I was like oh , oh , now it makes sense . And then just taught me how to organize it .

And then I was able to start doing readings for people , like via email , just tarot readings and answering questions for people and getting feedback . So it was a really great energy exchange and so I learned it on my own up to a point and then and then you know .

It was really good , though , that I started taking classes , because when you take classes , you learn the ethics of it , you know . You learn how to you know if the death card comes up it's not because someone's going to die , you know .

You have to understand how do you , how do you approach this , or if you feel something , how do you tap into it and deliver the message ethically . So there's a whole element of benefit if you , if you take classes , and so I'm glad I did that , bitty Tara , because this is the first thing they talked about day one , first page , ethics .

I read this , but , yeah , I started teaching myself , and then I finally got to a point where I could do classes , and then now I'm addicted . Now I teach classes in addition to taking classes .

So when I'm reading for someone on an email , okay , I'll see their , I'll see their question in the little email and then I can I can you know , tune into my spirit guides , which is how I didn't realize that's what I was doing . But I would say , okay , what do I need to know ? And I would lay out the cards .

I'd have a specific spread , like to answer their what . I'd formulate a spread that would help them answer their question best , and they then I would just be able to . I would feel it . It's hard to explain . I either I would hear words in my head or I would know it somehow and I would just type it .

And I am convinced that it's because we are all part of the same consciousness and it's just a matter of tapping into that consciousness to get the answers that we need . And the feedback I got from the from the beginning , without sounding like a bragging person was good feedback . You know things that I and I had to . Also .

I had to be okay with putting it out there and knowing that maybe it won't land , maybe it won't make sense to that person . Letting go of that fear allows that energy exchange to happen . But I can just tap into higher self , to my guides , just tap into whatever that energy is and get the answers and just and trust that what I'm hearing is legitimate .

And it's actually simple , like close your eyes , you , you do some breathing exercises and then you ask what are your guides to cover you in their energy ? You feel that vibration . It could be as simple as a tingle in a fingertip . It could feel , it could be a whole body sensation .

It may be an image that pops in your mind , it may be a word that pops into your mind that are in your ear , that you hear , and and you have to honor that . The big thing I tell people is you have to honor what you see , hear , feel , know , and once you start honoring that , the information really does flow through . But that's what I tell people .

To start is like meet your guides .

And if you're kind of freaked out by that and you're like why don't , if I believe this , then I'll say take a tarot card or read a book , open up a spiritual book , read a passage and say that's what I think about that and kind of formulate your own thoughts and then ask one of your guides or someone on the other side hey , what are your thoughts ?

Read it again and you'll hear a different version .

You have a pen for yourself , write your opinion , get a different color pen for , maybe , your joy guide or for your doctor teacher . However you believe the guide system works . It's all energy , okay , what are your thoughts ? And write down everything that comes into your mind , even if it doesn't align with what you already think .

Write down over just random words . It's a really great way to establish a language . I'm one of the classes I teach is called learning the language of your guides and I'll say , okay , maybe you'll take a tarot card and you'll look at it and whatever jumps out that you think of a situation . Right , you might see , like I said , the death card .

You might see a transition . Okay , well , start really thinking about what that means and impress it in your brain and then maybe do another card . As you're out in public , your guides will start . I found , as I started meeting people , I would meet someone new and I would see a tarot card . Oh , they started communicating with me through tarot images .

And so I was like , oh , you're a queen of swords , oh , you're a queen of cups reversed . I should kind of keep my eye , like they would show me Me . My brain , completely out of suspecting , would get like these images of cards . And so when I started first doing psychic readings as well , I would get images of cards and I wasn't using the cards .

Ah , it would show me , and that's how I learned to communicate with them . And then I would start tapping into okay , well , how do I feel when I see this color ? What messages do I get when I see blue or green , or and then ? So , just learning how they communicate , it's like no different than learning another language . It really is .

If you wanna learn Spanish , then you have to start practicing and seeing yourself . You're getting yourself in situations and having the dialogue , and it's the same thing with spirit .

How did you feel when you see that card ? What did it make you think of ? I might see a card and go like the Queen of Wands in the original Tarot deck has a sunflower and that and the sunflower's been a theme for me this week , so it's funny that that just popped into my head . There's a reason for that .

I don't know what it is yet , but when I see the sunflower I think of turning to the sun to reenergize and rejuvenate and to grow . You can't , you're not going to grow in the shadows . You have to turn and grow by facing the sun , and that's what a sunflower does .

So I may see that Queen of Wands , it may come up , but I may be really drawn to that sunflower and that's the message I'm going to believe that Spirit wanted me to convey . So it's just getting comfortable and understanding that that's where your guides , or whoever your team , want you to go . Okay , worry about memorizing anything .

What's gonna be at one needs to be on my radar , and so it might just , and I'll just leave them lay in front of me . I may not even ever show the client , it might just be there , just so I can understand the energy a little bit better . I don't always use them .

Now , if I do tick tock lives it's interesting if you , if anybody , do tick tock , you gotta follow me , because I'm fun to watch when I do lives there I will shuffle them and I'll say whoever is supposed to get these messages , bring them in the order , that I need them because I'm not gonna sit here and shuffle 25 times .

Right , so I'll put the car I will shuffle , put the the card deck down , an oracle card deck down for some clarification , and I'll just randomly pick people and then I pull a card and I just I trust that spirit is bringing me the right message For that person . Then I'll get a clarification . Like 99% of the time it resonates .

There might be something coming in your way , but here's the thing I'm not predicting doom and gloom . If you're walking on a railroad track and you see a train coming , you could either stand there and go hmm , I wonder if it'll hit me or you can step off of it and go woof , good thing I saw that coming because I came up with a better solution .

So I would often do the daily vibe check and say , okay , keep in mind that this could happen , this could happen , this could happen in . And I would put into scenarios Like in , for instance , if it's a relationship , someone might be grouchy , here's how you can deal with it . Or just be aware that maybe it's you and maybe you need to do a self-check .

So , yeah , you can do universal Vibrational card holes like that easily . You can do that . As for psychic readings too , oh , I like that .

Now that I've learned to really know them and I have an established relationship with them , I know that I can trust them To bring me who I need and to deliver the exact message they need in that moment that's going to benefit them in that moment For their greatest and highest good .

So I it's a matter of trust for me , even when it comes to tarot , like every , every , all down to all that I have to just trust spirit , and that's what time .

What can I say ?

Women are Wired a certain way , you know , and I would say , actually , what I'm finding is , as we move along in my you know my years , I'm seeing a shift in that actually , where you know more and more , men are becoming more intuitive and honoring that intuition in different ways , same with women doing , you know , kind of roll reverse , more open .

I don't even know where to go with that , but I feel like there is a definite energy shift that happens with that and it is important to listen to our intuition .

And the more we learn to list , I always tell people when you're first doing this work , or even if just every day , if you're just rolling along , you're like , oh gosh , should I go this way or that way ? I always say the first thing you hear is the one you believe . The second one is you talking yourself out of the first thing you hear .

Go with the first thing , because the first thing is what your guides are telling you or your higher self . It could be your higher self , it doesn't matter the source . That intuition is Plugged into something a lot bigger Than what our self-doubt is .

And I have been told by other people with whom I have spoken in the psychic Realm , and I get that sense that it's time for me to stop taking so many classes and Start doing , and I'm doing , I'm working on that , I'm doing .

Talk to us a little bit , before we wrap up , about your different offerings , what you have For people on tap , and yes , we'll go send them to your website as well , but just you know , you've also you've said development circle . That kind of knew , though , right ?

Some people want to be professional mediums and move into the professional medium road . So I find out what their goals are and we develop a plan based on that . I also , twice a year , will offer classes like the Learning Language of your guides Spirit Guide 101 , tarot 101 .

And I'm actually I'm actually getting ready to relaunch those again for for late fall , early winter , because I just finished those , those classes , and I'm currently doing a class called Platform Mediumship and it's more of an advanced class , like if you're already , you've already met your guides , you're already in tune , maybe even practicing mediumship or psychism .

How do you put that into a platform like TikTok ? How do you keep them ? And you know how do you do eight readings in 15 minutes . How do you do the platform messaging ? So that's the kind of class I'm offering right now . Or I'm in the middle of teaching right now . Development Circle will be coming in October .

I'm finalizing those dates this week and what that will be is that's a pretty inexpensive way to pop into a circle . It's not long-term commitment . You pop in when you can and it's a safe space to explore . You can be an advanced person or you could be a brand new beginner . We teach you how to do the things and you learn from each other .

It's a safe space and , again , that'll be coming very soon , so definitely follow it . I'll be putting all that out and then , of course , I'll be doing on the 23rd . I'll be doing what you did for Camp Chesterfield I'll be doing readings again .

That spark has gotten a little bit brighter after listening to Larenda and , if you have any , oh inclination towards learning more , I do think that Larenda is very approachable and it's a very gentle way to learn about your energy , to learn about spirit , to learn about the connection we all have with each other , and so I hope that you might take that step ,

because I really love her and think she's really cool . So that's my little promo for the day , thank you . Thank you , larenda , thank you , sparklers , and go out , have a fabulous day and shine your light , because we need your light .
