How to Prepare Your Energy Field for an Intuitive Reading

When you book an intuitive reading online, you're not just signing up for information — you're opening a space for energy, clarity, and transformation. Whether it's your first time or your fiftieth, how you prepare your energy can directly impact how clear, grounded, and aligned your reading feels.
At Look Within Holistic Coaching, I offer 30- and 60-minute intuitive readings that may include an oracle card spread, energy channeling, or mediumship. These online intuitive sessions are sacred containers. Preparing yourself allows you to be fully present for the messages that come through, so you can ground the insights and leave with clarity that truly resonates. While I always prepare and ground before each session, there are also simple ways you can prepare your own energy to make the experience even more aligned and comfortable for you.
Why Energy Preparation Matters
Think of your intuitive field like a radio signal: if there's a lot of static (stress, distractions, resistance), it becomes harder to tune in. Preparing your energy isn't about being perfect or "doing it right" — it's about creating spaciousness and intention. When you do that, the reading becomes not just accurate, but meaningful.
“Heather is better than I could even imagine! I always go into things like this a little skeptical, but was truly blown away with how spot on Heather was with her observations.” — Brigette
Even those who arrive unsure often leave surprised by how naturally the process unfolds — and how precisely the messages resonate.
1. Set an Intention
Your energy follows your focus. Take a moment before your session to ask yourself:
What am I open to receiving today?
What clarity am I seeking?
What part of me is asking to be heard?
Even a simple intention like "I'm open to whatever I need to know right now" can powerfully shift your field and help you get the most from your intuitive reading.
2. Hydrate and Ground
Water conducts energy. Drinking water before and after your session helps the energy flow smoothly.
You can also ground by:
Walking barefoot on the earth
Taking a few deep belly breaths
Placing your hand over your heart or sacral area
Grounding connects your physical body to the energetic insights you receive during your intuitive reading.
Your environment mirrors your energy. Take a few moments to clear your space:
Light a candle or incense
Use sound (chimes, bells)
Declutter or tidy the area you'll be in
This tells your energy field: "We are safe. We are ready."
4. Be Open to the Unexpected
While you might come in with questions, some of the most powerful insights are the ones we didn’t plan for. As a channel and medium, I connect to energies of the living and those who have crossed over. Sometimes, messages come through that surprise even the client.
Stay open to what wants to be revealed.
5. Minimize Distractions
If your reading is virtual, close extra browser tabs. Silence notifications. Let anyone else in your space know you won’t be available for 30–60 minutes.
This isn’t just a reading — it’s sacred space. Treat it like an energetic appointment with your higher self.
6. Post-Session: Receive & Integrate
After your reading, I send a virtually assisted email summary with themes, key messages, and suggested tools for integration. Clients who want a handwritten, AI-free version can upgrade their session.
Give yourself time to process what came through. Journal. Reflect. Sit in stillness. These messages often unfold over days or even weeks.
A Note on Science and Intuition
As a practicing intuitive and a registered nurse (RN), I’ve always held a deep respect for both the energetic and the scientific. My background in healthcare has taught me the value of evidence-based care — but it has also shown me that not everything can be measured.
While intuition lives in the subtle realm, beyond lab results and vital signs, I remain curious about how science is beginning to explore these connections. In fact, a growing body of research is starting to examine intuitive and mediumistic abilities under controlled conditions. One triple-blind study, for example, found that mediums could accurately retrieve personal details about deceased individuals knowing only a first name — results that exceeded chance expectations. (Read the study on PubMed)
I don’t believe we need to “prove” intuition — your body and soul already know what’s true. But I do believe it’s powerful to bridge both worlds: the seen and the unseen, the measurable and the felt.
Final Thoughts
Preparing your energy field doesn’t have to be complicated. A little presence goes a long way.
You don’t need to show up perfect. Just show up open.
An intuitive reading is less about prediction and more about reconnection — to your soul, your clarity, and your truth. And that starts with how you enter the space.

FAQ
Q: What does “intuitive reading online” mean?
A: An intuitive reading online is a remote session where I tune into your energy and share the information, messages, and impressions I receive. I may also use an oracle card spread as part of the process. The insights I provide serve as guidance for reflection — and you interpret how they relate to your own life and circumstances.
Q: How should I prepare for an intuitive reading session?
A: Hydrate, ground, set intention, clear your space, minimize distractions, and stay open to the guidance that wants to come through.
Q: Can I still sense or feel messages if I’m new to intuition?
A: Yes. You don’t need to be psychic. The client’s role is to create receptive space; I, as the intuitive, do the connecting.
Q: How long do intuitive readings last?
A: I offer 30-minute clarity sessions or 60-minute deep dives for more layered exploration.
Q: Do you offer in-person readings?
A: Yes—locally in Southern Oregon (Medford, Ashland, Rogue Valley). But most clients join me online from across the U.S.

If, like me, you find it fascinating when science begins to explore what the soul has always known, here are a few thoughtful articles and studies that look at intuition and energy perception through a research lens.
