Anthony Quinata Medium & Clairvoyant’s Weblog

Bringing spirit into reality.

How do you know when someone is a friend?

I received this wisdom today from The Kabbalah Centre International, out of Los Angeles, Ca. I loved this so much that I wanted to share it with you.

How do you know when someone is a friend?

They make you feel good about yourself the way you are. And when you do need an attitude adjustment, they do it with love.

What’s the point of all this? Not to test your friends. But to test what kind of friend you are.

As a Clairvoyant, my first job is to see you as God sees you – perfect. So my standard disclaimer at the beginning of every session is to tell people that I’m not a counselor, therapist, psychologist, or doctor. I’m a mouthpiece for God.

Because I am a Clairvoyant, I cut through the BS (Basic Story) that you may be telling yourself and try to get you to see the truth about who you really are.

I do my best to always do this with love.

After countless number of sessions with people I believe that God’s message is essentially the same to everyone who is brought to me – “You’re alright just the way you are. But if you knew how much I love you, you would treat yourself, and everyone else, very differently than you do now.”

Another reason I loved the above is because it puts the onus of responsibility right where it belongs, not on your friends, but on you. You are also a mouthpiece for the Universe. My prayer is that when people see you, they hear this same message, whether you speak it out loud to them, or not.

My prayer is that I do the same.

I feel your peace,

Anthony

Intimacy

I had a busy today today even though it’s Saturday, and I usually don’t like to book more than one appointment. Today I had two, and the second one was with two people, a brother and a sister.

About 70% of my clairvoyant readings concern relationship issues, and today was no exception. Today all three of the people I saw had issues with intimacy, so I thought I’d talk about that.

Whenever I ask people to define the word, “intimacy,” I get a number of different definitions, but usually they talk about knowing their partner completely, and being known by their partner, completely. Occasionally I’ll hear, “Into me, you see.”

Then I offer my own definition of intimacy – “I know that you know, that I know.” If I know that you know that I know, then I have to be honest, with you, and with myself.  This honesty is the foundation on which intimacy is built.

So, I’d like to share with you the four rules of intimacy -

  1. Keep your agreements. If you say you’re going to do something, do it, dump it, or edit it.
  2. Tell the truth all the time. This has to do with being honest with yourself and others. Having said this, I do agree with the Japanese axiom that “truth must be doled out with care.”
  3. Feel your feelings. As a Medium and Clairvoyant it’s never my intention to make people cry. Still, I’m amazed when I watch people trying not to cry. When people don’t want to cry in front of me, they hold their breath. They don’t realize they’re doing this, so I have to tell them, “Breathe … breathe.” It’s hard to do anything for any period of time when you’re holding your breath. I frequently doing Clairvoyant readings in which I’ll receive the energy of “uncried tears.” When I bring this up people tell me that crying doesn’t help. I then tell them that “feelings never die. They only get buried alive.” Feelings that aren’t acknowledged will sooner or later be expressed, usually in the form of an illness or disease – but they will be expressed.
  4. As much you work, play, pray and rest. In other words, make time for yourself, and those you love. Life is supposed to be lived, not escaped. Excessively work, television, alcohol, sex, exercise, etc. is an escape mechanism. Balance is the key.

Speaking of playing, after my appointments (the second one was L-O-N-G) I asked Cheryl if she’d like to go to the Greek Festival in Denver.  While we were there we ate great food, and watched dance demonstrations (I really think that Cheryl wanted to get up there and dance with them!) Unfortunately, by the time we were hoping to see the Cathedral, the tours were over. So we decided to go see a movie.

We saw, “Angels and Demons.” Personally, I enjoyed it much more than the “Da Vinci Code,” either the book or the movie. I read the book “Angels and Demons,” and I enjoyed the movie even more than I enjoyed the book!  There were people in the row in front of and behind us, and unfortunately, someone else in the theatre wasn’t enjoying it as much as I was. I knew this because my neck was killing me. I wasn’t “open,” but whoever this was (I suspect it was the man behind me) carried so much stress in their neck, it was affecting me.

Usually, when I’m doing a reading and I feel this stiffness, it means that the person I’m reading is “stubborn,” refusing to see other points of view, options or possibilities. Or it could mean that the person carries their stress there.

At any rate, I had to massage my own neck in order to get the pain to go away, which it would, and then it would come back as strong as ever. After the movie was over the pain started to subside, once the people behind me left the theatre.

That’s why when people tell me that they wish they could be me for ten minutes I either tell them, “No, you don’t,” or, “Yeah, me too!”

Moving beyond regret.

Today a couple of women, sisters actually, came to see me for what ended up being a Medium discernment in which their father came through for them. He was, according to him, and the sisters, very abusive towards the older sister, and their brother. He symbolically hung a “golden apple” over the younger sister’s head meaning that she was his favorite. This, they also confirmed.

Towards the end of the discernment he asked me to tell them that his legs were “strong” now that he’s on the Other Side. That’s when I found out he had polio when he was young, and was confined to an “iron lung.” Suddenly everything made sense to them, and me. You see, their brother was born with Cerebral Palsy. During the discernment their father apologized for trying to “make” a man out of their brother. He (their father) also talked a lot about his unfulfilled dreams, and how he turned his anger and frustration about his life towards his oldest daughter and son. He had a lot to say “I’m sorry” for. What their father seemed to realize, after his life review, was that the person he most need forgiveness from though, was himself.

One of the things I’ve learned, as a Spiritual Medium, from those on the other side is that in the end, it’s not what we did that we regret – it’s what we didn’t do. As a Clairvoyant, my mission is to provide guidance to people to live their lives so fully that when death finally comes, they don’t even notice it.

One way to do this is to quit wishing that the past, whatever you did, whatever you didn’t do, what you did to others, and whatever was done to you, were different. When you can do this, forgiveness happens. When forgiveness happens, you can start to move forward, free from regrets, and able to deal with whatever life has given you. And you’ll be able to learn the lessons you came into this life to learn.

I feel your peace.

How enlightened am I?

I took a “test” on Facebook last night, and while it may be self-serving to post the results … I thought, “What the hell….”

We are so often told to hide our light so we don’t come off as arrogant. In my work as a Clairvoyant, my first job is to see the person in front of me the way God sees them – as perfect. My second, and much more difficult, task is to help them see themselves the same way.

You would give your life to save a stranger, but you’d rather first offer him a hand up, maybe a sandwich… You are humble and kind, the joy raditaes from your aura space, filling your eyes with the light of Knowing. You Know. You have Awakened. You are engaged in a loving and wonderous relationship with the Divine Universe, all its souls, the Eloquent Design, the Ancient Beauty. You seem to float. Others swarm to be near you. You give advice in a way that allows others to come to the answer on their own. You’re a healer of lost souls. You are tolerant and forgiving to everyone, and the people whose lives are touched by you are forever changed. Your humility makes it impossible for others to dislike you, and your compassion makes you a valued resource to all you meet. You will never be alone in the garden, but you may need to make sure that you have alone-time… without taking care of YOUR inner guru, how can you be anyone else’s?

I have to admit that I do like the part which says that I’m a “healer of lost souls.” Whether as a Medium or a Clairvoyant, I do see that as the work I do.

Inspiration from a Yanni concert.

I had lunch with my friend Jill this afternoon. We met when I was strolling around a metaphysical fair in Denver and she and her daughter Ashley were with a group of friends. I don’t normally work at metaphysical fairs, and I wasn’t working at this one. Anyway, I stopped her friend Karen and told her that “someone wanted to speak to her – someone who had passed away.” I gave Karen a quick discernment (honestly, I don’t remember any of this, Jill reminded me today) and then looked at Jill and said, “By the way, Debbie wants to say ‘hi’ to you, too.”  

Jill told me that when I said this to her she almost fainted. She and Debbie were best friends but were having a squabble when Debbie tragically, and unexpectedly, died. So this group of women came to a small group session in which I was doing discernments for everyone who attended. “Discernment” is a word I borrowed from George Anderson to describe what happens during a medium session. 

A year later she and her daughter came to see me for another medium session at my home, and then for clairvoyant readings. Jill and I have become friends since, but this was the first lunch we’ve had together. We talked about a number of different things getting to know each other better, including my journey to becoming a Medium and Clairvoyant. I also shared with her some of my dreams as far as my work goes; which I’ll talk about in just a bit. 

Cheryl and I went to a Yanni concert tonight. She was afraid that I’d complain it was “yawny” but I really enjoyed it! The concert was part of the “Voices” tour he’s doing and if you get the chance to see it, I really would suggest you go. The music was fantastic, as were the singers and musicians. It was fun to see people who enjoy what they’re doing at work. 

One of the things Yanni talked about was a song he wrote 30 years before. He also shared that he’s known the drummer in his orchestra for 30 years as well, and how they used to dream about doing exactly what they’re doing now. During the entire concert I found myself not only enjoying the show, but thinking about how much I would love doing large scale seminars helping people reconnect with their loved ones who have passed on. 

Yanni talked about the importance of dreams, and how they do come true. I took what he said to heart, as I sat there dreaming.

What do I need to forget?

Cheryl and I went to a Filipino Festival today. I am a native of Guam, but my grandmother on my mother’s side was a Filipino, and I grew up eating Filipino food (I thought it was Guamanian food). One of Cheryl’s co-workers is Filipino and that’s how we found out about it. 

While we were there I remembered a story my sisters told me while I was in Los Angeles recently. Before I tell you that story I need to preface it with another one. 

When I was 10, my mother, my sister, my brother and I went across the United States on an train. One day a man asked my mother if she was Filipino, and she told him she was only half. He asked her if she spoke Tagalog (the main dialog of the Philippines)  and she told him that while she didn’t speak the language, she did understand it. He said something to her, and she told my sister that he said that she (my sister) was very beautiful. 

Fast forward. My mother is now suffering from Alzheimer’s, and recently broke her ankle. So she’s in a hospital room in an assisted living facility. One day when the sister I just told you about was visiting her, one of the nurses, a Filipino, said to her, “I didn’t know your mother spoke Filipino.” 

“She doesn’t,” my sister told him. “She does speak Chamorro (the native language of Guam) though.”

“Are you sure?” he asked her.

“I’m positive.” 

“That’s funny, because earlier today we had a conversation in Tagalog. In fact, she started it.” 

My sisters thought it was odd, and asked me what I thought. “She forgot that she only understood the language, and that she didn’t know how to speak it,” is what I told them. 

 

Since this afternoon I’ve been wondering what I could do if I forgot or, at least, let go of my belief that I couldn’t do it, or who I am, and who I’m not.

Confession

I have a confession to make to you. Over the past several months, I lost my focus. More than that, I lost my desire. I didn’t want to do this work anymore, either as a Clairvoyant or a Medium.

I’ve said for years now that I didn’t choose this work, it chose me. More precisely, God chose me to do it. We all have free will, and I decided to exercise that free will by choosing to do this work less and less – to the point where I wasn’t doing it at all. I wasn’t enjoying the work, and I wasn’t enjoying helping the people who came to see me. 

I decided to pursue a goal I’ve had for many years now, but didn’t accomplish. I gave up being a “psychic.” 

That’s why I haven’t been writing in this blog.

Things are different now. 

Cheryl and I went to Los Angeles over the Memorial Day holiday for a vacation (we went to Disneyland!) and so we could visit my family. My nephew and two nieces (they’re triplets) are totally in love with Cheryl. As for me, I was … well, for the first couple of days they wouldn’t even say my name. Then they would refer to me as “your brother.” In other words, they would tell my sister, “Your brother’s awake. I just saw him go into the bathroom.” Or, “Are your brother and Auntie Cheryl coming with us to the store?” Recently, my sister called me, and told me (while she laughed) that the kids now call me, “Mr. Anthony.” 

When we came back to Denver, I was surprised to find that I had numerous requests for appointments with me both for Clairvoyant (psychic) readings, and Medium discernments. Some of them were from clients who had come to see me before, or had a phone session with me. Many of them were from people who were referred to me by others. And I’m still getting numerous phone calls every day. 

Reluctantly, I started booking appointments, mostly because I needed the income, and I was surprised to find myself enjoying the work again! So, I’m back, with a renewed commitment to help people using the gifts and abilities God has given to me. 

I recorded a segment on the Biography Channel a couple of months ago about James Van Praagh. I didn’t watch, and kept meaning to delete it, but every I was going to, a voice in my head said to save it, so I did. 

I watched it yesterday, and not only did I enjoy it, it actually reconnected me even deeper with my desire to do this work. 

I’m going to get started on a couple of books I’ve been meaning to write, and I’ve also renewed my commitment to write in this blog again. 

I’m in a good place now, and I’m looking forward to helping more people get to a better place in their lives as well.

Autobiography In Five Short Chapters

AUTOBIOGRAPHY IN FIVE SHORT CHAPTERS

by Portia Nelson

I

I walk down the street. 
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk 
I fall in. 
I am lost … I am helpless. 
It isn’t my fault. 
It takes me forever to find a way out.

II

I walk down the same street. 
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. 
I pretend I don’t see it. 
I fall in again. 
I can’t believe I am in the same place 
but, it isn’t my fault. 
It still takes a long time to get out.

III

I walk down the same street. 
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. 
I see it is there. 
I still fall in … it’s a habit. 
my eyes are open 
I know where I am. 
It is my fault. 
I get out immediately.

IV

I walk down the same street. 
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. 
I walk around it.

V

I walk down another street.

Testimonial

I first went to Anthony as a result of a friend excitedly talking about a reading she had just had with him.  I immediately went in to see him that day.  Originally, I went in just to get a nice little reading on what might be popping up for me in the near future…what I got was so much more. 

Anthony was quickly able to unearth some deep issues that have kept me consistently blocked in several areas of my life.  More than just giving me the information, he also gave me tools on how I could go about making the changes that I needed to help me live the life of my design.

Throughout my life I have been to many therapists and clairvoyants to help me deal with some of the issues that Anthony helped me clear.  I can honestly say that no one has been able to understand or read me as well as Anthony with as much compassion, truth, and humor.  He could see through the happy, confident façade that I put out to the world and uncover the pain and frustration that lay beneath. 

In doing this, I was able to:  heal my relationship with my father, whom I have not spoken with in over 20 years; notice that my current romantic relationship was not the ideal relationship in my quest to love and be loved; and stop procrastinating on starting my business.

 Anthony has been a wonderful blessing.  To me, he has been a healer, a motivator, a mentor, and a friend.  You could go in for the pleasant reading about what’s coming up for you…or you can get the tools and information to live the life that you soul intended!

What is “good psychic?”

I found this article written by Donna West, and I thought it was such a good article, I wanted to share it with you.

 

What Is a Good Psychic? 

A good psychic is, first of all, a good person. A psychic is someone you feel comfortable opening yourself up to and discussing your concerns with. A good psychic is someone who has worked on their own self-development, and spiritual unfoldment – and continues to do so.

A good psychic isn’t perfect. No one is.

If you are looking to find a good psychic for a live reading, do your homework before baring your soul. A psychic might claim to be clairvoyant or possess ESP, but too many people feign their psychic ability to con unsuspecting clients.

How do you find a psychic? Finding a good psychic can be difficult. But a good psychic is real and professional. A good psychic is someone who is authentic and uses his or her real name and real likeness. Anyone who fears using their real name or picture publicly is in the psychic closet. What are they afraid of? How can you be sure they are even doing their own work if you don’t know who they really are? Aren’t they proud of who they are and what they do?

A good psychic isn’t focused only on the income derived from their work – but neither is a good doctor, a good accountant or a good hairstylist. Just like other professionals, good psychics charge for their time and services. But they also give back.

Just as doctors might volunteer their services at a local health fair, professional psychics are willing to share their gifts. Whether donating proceeds of a psychic fundraiser to a charity or taking calls on a call-in show, good psychics understand the power of service to others.

Good psychics have a strong personal code of ethics. Good psychics don’t allow you to consult them too often. They don’t ask you for gifts. They don’t tell you that you have a curse, or negative energy that only they can remove. And they definitely don’t cross personal boundaries or become sexually involved with their clients. They use their psychic ability for good causes.

A good psychic also respects your confidentiality. Anyone who “name drops” about their clientele is someone to watch very carefully. While it’s entirely possible that celebrities have given their permission, or perhaps received a free psychic reading in exchanged for their name to be used, you probably wouldn’t want your name to be mentioned publicly. A good psychic respects the confidentiality of all clients – including well known ones.

Good psychics know their limits They refer clients to the appropriate professionals, including mental health practitioners, attorneys, physicians, and others when necessary.

Good psychics don’t impose themselves on others. They step in when their services are requested in an appropriate setting – which is probably not the grocery store, the gym or the airport. If they feel a very important message must be imparted, it will be done compassionately, gently and often with no mention of the fact that the message is from a psychic or a medium.

Good psychics focus on the message, not themselves as messengers. They have their egos in check. They don’t take themselves too seriously. They are aware that they don’t know everything, that they aren’t better than others, and they may be mistaken at times – they are just like every other human being.

The really good psychics, the best psychics are spiritual coaches and teachers, who encourage you to learn to access your own inner wisdom and spiritual gifts.
