Honoring Intuitive Guidance

"Honoring Intuitive Guidance"
by Jamie Allen Bishop

When I hear someone use the word intuition, I know what they're really saying is "psychic", but they're afraid to say it because there can be a stigma around that word - psychic. Honestly, though, where would this world be without our innate intuition... our psychic abilities? I flat out believe we would be in a whole different parallel or universal existence. In fact, people every day are living their lives in that "other" world in front of our own two eyes.

Here's what I mean. I'll use the traffic example.

When we are driving, there are many different experiences we can have. When we are in a space that is not in alignment with our psychic ability, we often find ourselves frustrated, angry, and disheartened by the experience around us. When we are in resonance with the driving experience, the flow of driving is natural and feels relaxing - even in traffic jams.

Try it sometime. Focus your efforts and energy on the outcome you desire. For example, if you're behind a car that's driving slower than you'd like to be driving, but you don't want to be the one to go around the slow car, focus your energy on expecting that car to move over for you to pass. Within minutes at the beginning of your psychic practice (and only seconds once you've had a bit of practice... and then immediately once you truly get the hang of it), you'll notice the vehicle moving graciously out of your way, allowing you to pass. The more gratitude you offer for getting what you want - like thanking that driver for moving over as you pass - the more the universe will comply with your desires.

Thank you lights for all being green on my drive to work today.

Thank you car for moving out of my parking spot just in time for me to pull into it as I drive up to the grocery store today.

Thank you music for keeping me in a happy frame of mind while I dance along to the beat of your tune while I am stuck in traffic, making other drivers around me giddy with my happiness, thus making the commute easier and more gentle to navigate.


Are you getting the picture?

Which driver are you - the one who is congruent with your intuitive experience or the one who is pissed off that everyone is a crappy driver (except you)?

What examples from your own life can you think of when it comes to things that go wrong regularly? What would your life look like if those things didn't happen regularly?

I mean, seriously, imagine life without traffic! Sure, there's still traffic, but the way you mentally manage the traffic game changes so drastically that traffic is almost a FUN part of your day. What would that do to your whole life experience?

Here in Los Angeles, California, it would make one hell of a difference for a whole heck of a lot of people!

Toe Reading & Map

"Toe Reading Map"
by Jamie Allen Bishop
(reprinted, originally published in 2013, updated and adapted)

Has anyone ever asked you what you do? I can't tell you how many times I've answered that question (probably with a small smile on my face), knowing the asker's likely response.

"Toe, what? What is that? I've never heard of that."

For those of you who have not heard of toe reading, here's the textbook definition: "toe reading is the idea that our thoughts, feelings, and emotions show up in the shape, direction, and color of our toes." ~K.C.Miller ("Toe Reading: Are You Walking Your Destined Path?")

It is my belief that our toes show us where our subconscious beliefs are holding us back from achieving our goals. That makes our toes a physical map to see what needs to shift to reach our goals.

Pretty incredible, eh!? Maybe even unbelievable.

For example, I like to think of myself as an optimist, and (guaranteed) my toes tell the truth. When my toes bend toward the earth, they indicate fear or resistance, which would make me less than optimistic. Of course, if my toes swoop up too much, that might indicate naivete or the inability to see clearly because of my head always being "in the clouds." Whether my toes show me as a negative thinker or a head in the clouds thinker, both are signs of I am not on track with my life goals.

A toe reader is often a practiced intuitive with messages from Source. The coolest thing about toe reading is that TOES CHANGE! When our thoughts and beliefs change, so do our toes.

The attached image is my version of the Toe Reading Map, adapted from SWIHA/KC Miller's classroom version. I hope it comes in handy for anyone ready to walk down the path to self-awareness.


Another really cool thing about toe reading is that it can be done virtually! A photograph of your toes from the seated position is all a toe reader needs to send you a video of your toe reading.

Curious? Let's chat about it. Feel free to contact me with any questions or follow me on your favorite Social Media platform @JamieAllenBishop.

Jamie


What Is A Soul Reader (aka Toe Reader)?

"What Is A Sole Reader?"
by Jamie Allen Bishop
(reprinted, originally written in 2013, published with appropriate updates)

I am Jamie Allen Bishop, owner, and Sole Reader at Soul Heart Entertainment, a company providing private party host/esses with spiritual advisor entertainment and in business for more than 13 years

What is a sole reader, you ask? Before I go into those details, I must start from the beginning of my holistic wellness practitioner journey.

I am a Master Toe Reader (MTR). To become a Master at anything requires dedication, perseverance, and practice... all of which takes time. Initially, an MTR takes 100 hours of classroom certification over the course of one to two years. The program I went through was at the Southwest Institute of Healing Arts (SWIHA) in Tempe, Arizona.

Prior to SWIHA, I attended Arizona State University (ASU), also in Tempe, AZ, for two degrees: a BFA in Drawing and an MA in Art Education. I used my art background to create a few businesses, and I taught in an elementary classroom for awhile. Alas, the income in art is fickle, and income teaching is negligible. Being a practical woman with a family, I knew I needed to find a more stable career. I never imagined in 2005, when I was introduced to toe reading, that I had found my career path, my "calling."

Toe reading is the idea that our thoughts, feelings, and emotions (our subconscious belief systems) show up in the way our toes do. There is a science to this practice: each wrinkle, toenail, toe padding, callous, freckle, color, etc. has a meaning. It doesn't matter what your heritage or family background or location is. All meaning shows up with extreme accuracy. And, it is no mistake that the bottom of our foot is referred to as our "sole." What shows up in our sole is akin to what shows up in our soul. Toe reading is a truly AMAZING and unique tool in the holistic wellness industry.

Perhaps toe reading is a commentary on the human condition? Perhaps it is patterning? Perhaps it is nonsense? I suppose the relationship (or connection) between the practitioner and the client is what matters most. In my experience as an MTR, intuitive guidance/perception plays a large role in what makes a toe reading a valuable service.

That intuitive guidance is why I refer to myself as a "Sole Reader."

KC Miller, a co-founder of SWIHA, once said that if she had to do it over again, she would have called Toe ReadingSole Reading. I completely agree.

And, thus, was born the term: Sole Reader.

A sole reader uses intuitive guidance to provide information specific to a client regarding whatever subject is the focus of the toe reading session. Intuitive guidance to me means I ask my angels/guides and my client's guides to be present during a reflexology and/or a toe reading session. I allow myself to be a conduit of love and light, sharing information that might be pertinent to a client's health and happiness.

Toe reading is a wonderful experience and works best when a specific idea/question is present.

May you have a glorious day, each and every moment. 

Blessings,

Want That Client, Wo/Man, Business?

"Want That Client, Wo/Man, Business?"
by Jamie Allen Bishop

Any entertainment talent, no matter who your audience, is a relationship built on trust. Without that trust factor, you simply are not trustworthy. The ONLY way to build trust is to show up and persevere in that showing up. You need to keep showing up constantly and consistently. That's how to develop relationships (and referrals).

​Develop a relationship with your client, your woman or man, the business you want to work for, or the team you want to join. Relationship is the key! 

Thinking back to my first experience with this soft sales thing... this relationship development concept, I remember being a receptionist at an environmental firm. As the "gatekeeper" for the personnel in the back offices, I received sales pitches all day from the best of the best. The line I was told to deliver was to these sales people was this, "We are happy with our current provider," which is exactly what I said to all of them.

​Even Eric. 

​But, Eric came in weekly anyway. He wasn't consistent about a day or time, but every week, once a week, for three months straight... in walked Eric. 

After the first visit when he let me know what he was selling, every time he stopped by, he would ask how my day was going and engage me in conversation about the weather, the Braves ​(I lived in Atlanta at the time), or whatever subject he happened to come across in the Wall Street Journal that day. Eric focused his chit-chatting on whatever subject he thought I might enjoy discussing. He always left his business card so I would remember his name and his company, but he didn't ever talk to me about his business.

That warrants saying again: Eric talked to me about ME, not his business.

​Eric took between 5-and-10 minutes of his week to touch base with me. (That's a doable amount of time for EVERY SINGLE PERSON in the world to get what you want.) And, guess what happened? After three months of Eric's visits, I walked my happy ass into the bosses office and told him we needed to hire Eric's company (for office supplies) and fire the company we were "happy" with because if they were even remotely as diligent with maintaining a customer relationship as they were with building one, they would be an incredible company to work with.

We did hire them... this office supply company that Eric represented. And, the engineering company still uses that company for office supplies (25 years later).

​ 


​Building a relationship with the people who work at the facilities you want to work for... that's the key to working with them. Finding the people who are the perfect clients... get to know them first. Looking for the perfect mate? Develop that conversational rapport that makes them so excited to see you. The funny thing is it doesn't matter if it's the receptionist or the boss, you just need to build that trust factor with someone, and you'll get noticed! 

I tell my coaching clients, this is the Drip Method. It might be a form of torture for some, but in cold sales, the Drip Method of showing up over and over is literally the only way to develop that trust factor... and a fan for life.

​Keep showing up, and they'll be putty in your hands. And if you can't show up, send someone who represents your company well to do it for you.

​Best of luck!​​​​ And, please, let me know how it goes! I would love to hear your success stories!

Warmly,

Jamie Allen Bishop, MA
