Hello and welcome to Psychic Teachers. I'm your host Deb Bowen and I'm Samantha Faye and we are just so delighted and honored that you have joined us. We're excited to finally be back to something that you all we know really enjoy and that's our question and answer episode.

We've had a lot of nice questions we're going to get to as many of them in this hour as we can and see what happens. Sit back and enjoy take a deep breath and let's get started. Shall we Samantha? How about if I take the first question? That sounds great.

Hi Deb and Samantha. I just so loved your holiday magic and miracles episode. I wanted to tell you about a little magic my eight year old son just experienced.

There have been some recent hardships in our lives and it's been a bit of a hard time to remain positive and feel the magic of the season. The other day while I was doing dishes in preparation to make some cookies with my son.

I prayed to whoever was listening to please help me bring magic into this season for my kids.

Not five minutes later my son is helping me get things out of the cabinet and he finds a Santa Claus stuffed animal in the cabinet. I go into this cabinet a lot and I have not seen this stuffed animal there at all.

It felt out on him in the most magical way and he was tickled because Santa called him helping mom and being good at a time when the smallest bits of magic count.

This felt like an instant answer to a prayer and brought tears to my eyes. A reassurance that yes, it will be magical for them. Don't worry. Thank you so much for this very much needed soul food this morning just what the doctor ordered.

I love that letter Samantha because it really does remind me that it's the small things that we sometimes pass over our gloss over or too busy to pay attention to.

There are often the real miracles in our days every day.

Yeah isn't that the truth and it reminds us too that we have to ask for magic in our life. We have to seek out that which we believe for it to really respond and work with us.

That's beautiful. Thank you for taking time to share that.

Our next one says, Hi Samantha, I felt compelled to reach out to you after listening to your interview on the Sense of Soul podcast.

I've listened to you and Deb for about a year now and always love what you put out for us.

This episode really hit close to home for me as I've been wrestling with my faith. I grew up in a more religious background and for me an Avenger off that path so to speak feels like I'm doing something that will displease a lot of people close to me as well as go against all I ever knew and believed.

I've always known I was different. I would hear things or see things as a child and whenever I would share about it I basically was told that it was from stress and that just made me suppress it all up until this last year.

I embarked on my true spiritual journey this February and I really began to understand myself more and more through meditation, signs, synchronicity.

I realized I should become a raky practitioner and start my own business. So I received my raky one and two and two minutes in July and I've been practicing since then.

However, I've only been seeing a few clients and using it behind the scenes. I haven't really come out and announced that I do this work.

I know and deeply feel that I am not using my abilities as I'm intended to. I'm honestly scared because I feel like the intense religious family members of mine will tell me I'm a witch or that I'm partaking in the work of the devil as the Bible.

I'm not the devil as the Bible tells us not to consult with mediums or fortune tellers for example.

My own brother has even told me that I will be made fun of whenever I choose to be public with it. I'm wrestling with this so much I just want to be myself and stand up for what I am doing.
