Meet Monica Teurlings | Intuitive Medium- Author-Speaker

We had the good fortune of connecting with Monica Teurlings and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Monica, what habits do you feel helped you succeed?

As an Intuitive & Evidential Medium working with energy, spirit guides and the spirit world daily it may seem that the road to success would be in the bag. After all, that’s quite a dream team working with me every day! Having this ability to tap in and receive guidance for myself in life and within my career is incredible but that is not what brought success to my door; that’s not how success works.

Clients ask and seek guidance from me all the time but spiritual guidance alone will not get you the success you want. Spiritual guidance shines a spotlight on your innate talents and desires. It points you in the direction where you can find/create success and happiness. Nonetheless, focus and attention is required to achieve these things. Success comes to us when we show up for what we want. Our energy and intentions should be aligned. It requires taking steps towards the goal even if each of those steps is frightening or uncomfortable to us. Success requires ACTION.

if you feel a desire, for example to try something new in life, like going back to school, starting your own business, changing careers, finding a loving relationship, having a child, moving to a new city or buying a home and you feel inspired thinking about the possibility then understand it’s there waiting for you to claim it. So why not take the action needed to have it? Your desires and inspiration are uniquely yours. You are feeling them for a reason. That’s not a coincidence. Those feelings of desire you continue to have are actually guidance. It’s how spirit communicates with us. It is a way that guidance shows up for us, through your feelings, inspiration, and desire.

I help clients uncover their desires, help connect the dots so they can see clearer how the universe is communicating with them and for them and help take action towards those inspired feelings. Yes, spirit helps me in my readings. The client’s spirit guides often show up in our sessions together because they are your greatest cheerleaders. 

We can feel lost when we go through challenging times and life can feel overwhelming with all that goes on in our world today. Life can be extremely distracting. What if you feel no inspiration? Sometimes we just need a reboot and some feeling back of personal empowerment fueled back within us. Often we just need a shift in perspective, a gentle kick in the pants, a new way of looking at your life and circumstances. My Life Readings are all about this.

My Mediumship sessions are extremely helpful for those who have lost a loved one. Sadness from grief can get you very lost. Fortunately, loved ones are always perfect in their delivery of what a client needs to hear and feel to help them find themselves again. After all, they know you best. These sessions of reconnections ease the grief. Spirit comes forward and brings up specific things to let you know without a doubt that it’s them and that their still close even if you can’t see them. The love expressed is amazing.

Spiritual work is powerful and so are you. The problem is we forget it at times and that is when we begin having discord in life. All of my sessions are about getting you to feel better, have a clearer vision for yourself, see your possibilities and get you back on the road towards success by being your best self.

Below I am sharing some success steps that I believe are essential for success in any industry and career. Success comes when you tune in to the guidance that’s there for you and act on that guidance.

SIX ENERGETIC STEPS FOR SUCCESS

STEP INTO THE FEAR

Fear holds a lot of us back from achieving our greatest desires. Fear of failing. Fear of not being successful. Fear of uncertainty. Fear of being judged. I always say to my clients that fear is simply opportunity waiting to get expressed. Sometimes fear is your potential just dressed up in a scary costume. You need to be willing to face it and introduce yourself to it. Get friendly with your fear and watch it morph into amazing opportunities for you. It can be your best friend in hiding.

When the spirit world first made themselves known to me in a big way it was a bit scary. I did not know what was happening. I would be in my room and I would feel this surge of powerful energy all around me. Like I was going to be electrocuted. It was so strong! I literally ran out of the room. The next day it happened again while I was in the kitchen. Super strong energy surrounding me. I turned off the stove and I left the room again. The next night as I was lying in bed ready to go to sleep that strong energy came back yet again. It kept coming. This time I took action. Instead of leaving the room I spoke to the energy I felt around me. I got BRAVE. I stepped into my fear. I asked firmly in my mind ‘Who is this and what do you want?” The energy responded by dropping the words in my mind like you download files on a computer. It said ”I am your Tutor it is time for you to know me”. Then the energy was gone. I went to sleep that night wondering what that meant and I woke up to an Egyptian man from spirit at the foot of my bed at 5 am the next morning. That was my regular time to get up and meditate. He knew it. We locked eyes for maybe 10 seconds. Then he vanished as quickly as he arrived and my incredible journey with spirit began that very morning. I faced what scared me and found out it was actually wanting to help me get on the road of my life’s purpose. Gosh, what if I never stepped into the fear? I would not have any of these incredible opportunities and experiences that came to my life.

BELIEVING IN YOURSELF WITH CONFIDENCE

Sometimes we say we want something. We talk about it and even imagine it but we don’t really believe within us that it’s even possible. This keeps us in resistance and keeps our success outside the door when it truly wants in. What you desire wants you also. Remember that.
The match can only occur if you believe that it’s actually possible for you.

Do you believe the success is there for you? Do you believe in your own talent, your mission statement or your goals? Do you believe it’s possible for you to achieve it? Confidence is energy that moves through you. The lack of confidence is energy as well. Having confidence is knowing yourself. You are confident when you feel assured of your direction, feel good about your decisions, when you believe in what you are doing even when someone else does not. You may face a few barriers on the road to success but barriers are not roadblocks they are merely detours. That’s all. Sometimes energy needs to catch up with your desires of what you want so detours occur in your life for a reason. Divine timing always. Trust it. Isn’t that a positive approach? Without confidence, detours will feel like roadblocks. Roadblocks stop you in your tracks.

When the spirit world came to me and wanted me to work with them for healing and to do this spiritual work to help others on their path I struggled with the idea of it. I can’t do this I said. Me? Why me? There is nothing special about me. They got the wrong girl. What could I offer to someone? I don’t even have a college education. I had such low confidence in my worthiness that I couldn’t imagine that spirit would choose me as their vehicle. But my guides worked with me. They showed me all the many ways throughout my life that I had already been a conduit for them and I just was not aware. They brought me through a timeline of my life to remind me of the many different circumstances where I helped others in powerful ways. They also showed me all that I went through in my life, the pain, the struggles, the heartbreak, the successes, my accomplishments and dedication to things that I strived to achieve and how that could all be used in my work with them to help others. They showed me who I was so I could believe in myself. I had forgotten my qualities. They reminded me and gave me back the confidence that I lost. They explained that this work was my calling and the struggles I had experienced were preparation to be used to help others. It was time to begin. They asked me if I would be willing. If I would enjoy the work. They never made me do it. They let me decide. They gave me the power to decide. This was them giving me my personal power to decide and with confidence I of course said yes.

INTENTION OF THE HIGHEST GOOD FOR ALL

The work you do and the energy that surrounds your work is always fueled by intentions. Are they intentions for the best and highest good for only you or others as well? What do you want your client’s experience to be? Are you clear on this? If you create art how do you want that piece of art to touch the person who buys it? Do you think about it as you create the art? If you see patients, how do you want them to feel once they leave your office after a visit with you? 

When you have intent for the best and highest good for all in your work you will absolutely soar. If you care about the experience your client has or the positive experience you want your clients to have you will soar. If you want to add value to another, create healing in another, uplift another you will soar. If the work you offer helps another in a positive way you will soar. If your desire is to be of service to others you will soar. When I say soar I mean you will succeed.
Intentions are a direct telephone line to the universe. To spirit. To the divine. Intention is felt and if it is in alignment with the best for others then you also will have a very big unseen team helping you on your quest for success.

When I begin any reading whether it be a Life reading where we focus on a client’s own life or a spirit reading where I am fostering reconnections with those they love that are now in the spirit world I always begin my sessions with an intention prayer. I say in my mind before I begin every session: “May this reading give my client all that they need today. May they hear from those in spirit they hope to hear from, need and want to hear from. May the words pour out from me that are words they need to hear. May they finish this session with us feeling happier than when it first began. May they receive the needed guidance in their life with clarity and direction. Guide me spirit to their need. Thank you.”

I have been overwhelmed with the amount of reviews and testimonials I have received from clients that have shared their positive experience of their sessions with me and how the readings have helped them in the exact way they needed. My client base comes almost strictly from referrals of past clients and repeat clients which is the greatest compliment and validation of my intention prayer. So sit and feel into how you can be of service in your work for others and write an intention prayer and say it before you begin your own work and watch your business grow.

POSITIVE ENERGY

People actually feel you before they hear you. Energy is felt before words are spoken. What’s your energy actually saying to the universe or to clients about what you do or want to create? What words are you speaking? Words are energy too. Are they positive words? Do they empower you and others when you hear them? Is there excitement in your voice when you speak about what you want to do in your work, career, or life? Can someone feel your enthusiasm? Or do they feel your doubt? What’s your vibe saying about how you feel? What’s it saying about what you do, what you are building? How can someone be excited for what you are creating if you are not excited. If you felt your vibe today would you want to stay and feel more or run? How can you lift your vibration, get more enthusiastic and allow people to feel your passion?

Habits of positivity. I created positive habits that I was disciplined about that served my wellness, my own energy flow and the building of communication with spirit as well as my own spirit.

I meditated daily just for me. It cleared out the junk I held onto in my inner closets that was not serving me. Out with the negative was like throwing away an ugly blouse I no longer liked in my closet. You know what I mean, those beliefs that hold us back. Meditation allows that stuff to rise up, feel it and then release it. It cleans out the inner closets and makes room for better stuff that fits you and your vibe for who you are today, not the old you from the past. We hang onto too much stuff deep within us and we become energetic pack rats. It kills the vibe. You have to discard the inner clutter. Begin to Meditate.

I sat in gratitude daily for 10 minutes. Every day I picked a topic. This allowed me to appreciate all that was already good in my life, one area at a time. Doing this brought more focus onto more things I became aware of that were also good and working well and soon I only saw what was good. I no longer saw what was not good or not working out. I pivoted my focus through the practice of gratitude and that gave me better feelings and a better vibe. Good things around me became my point of attention. This felt good within me. The feeling good got me speaking words that were happy words. Words are energy and those words were positive and uplifting and it uplifted me and those around me. It was a domino affect. Sit in gratitude daily.

I walked in nature daily for 45 minutes every morning. I gave myself time in the energy of nature. I watched the leaves on the branches on the trees sway. I saw beautiful rose bushes and I noticed the color roses I was drawn to. I walked the beach and smelled in the ocean air through my lungs and set the intention for it to clear my inner spaces. I watched squirrels run up tree trunks and I watched birds dance in the sky in a beautiful order and sequence. This time in nature was such a vibe raiser. It literally elevated my spirit. Walk daily in nature.

These positive habits were what elevated my energy and that moved my potential within me to work with spirit closer. When you lift your own frequency you now vibe at a higher place. Joy and anxiety are on very different frequencies. They don’t play on the same field. You cannot feel both at the same time. For example; as you raise your own frequency you elevate to a vibe closer to joy and leave behind the lower frequency of anxiety. Spirit told me it was my energy frequency they felt that brought them to me at that time in my life. My vibe attracted them. How cool.

These were some action steps that were in my daily habits. These habits caused positive change within me. It raised my own energy. This pushed my potential to the surface. It brought spirit close to me and absolutely elevated my success. Step into positive energy flow by elevating your own energy.

EMBRACE CHANGE

To have success you must be willing to accept change and do things differently. Energy is always changing. Our lives are always going to be changing. The world is always changing. What we want to do for work will change and how you enjoy doing the work will change. We are meant to change as well so we can grow. Doing things always the same way stumps our creativity. We are creative beings. We need to be transplanted into larger pots for deeper growth and expression.

Nothing stays the same so you must be willing to follow the flow of energy and learn to trust it. Be aware of your body and how it feels. Create the habit to pay attention. I paid attention to signs, to experiences I was having, to the feelings I had and why. That is all data. More direction signals to guide us towards what awaits us.

When I felt an urge to give readings on zoom I was against it at first. I loved in-person readings and I had multiple offices and did not really want that change but I listened to the urge and I took action even though it felt a bit uneasy. Urges are guidance as well. Shortly after I added zoom to my readings, COVID hit and the world went on pause and I was able to still see clients, but now from all over the world. I continue doing that today even with the world being back open. I fell in love with zoom readings. Communication and guidance is as strong via zoom as it is in-person because of the intent I have for the session. That intent and desire brings forth the energy regardless of where or how the session is held. Zoom actually ended up improving my quality of life because having multiple offices, traveling and commuting was taking a rather heavy toll on me. Stay open to change as it often brings you wonderful new ways to work.

GET INSPIRED

Spirit inspires us. Inspiration actually comes from the spirit world. We are all connecting with spirit everyday. Many just don’t realize it because they do not understand how spirit works with us, helps us and guides us. Inspiration is given to us to help lead us towards our purpose in life and our next steps on our journey here. It comes in the form of ideas lovingly placed in our hearts, that get our soul excited and lead us in a direction that we are now ready to experience and in ways to unfold more within ourselves. I call these spiritual breadcrumbs. Are we picking them up or are we passing right by them, unaware and too busy to pay attention?

After seeing that man at the foot of my bed that referred to himself as my tutor, I began getting constant spiritual breadcrumbs. I was getting inspired all the time. One of my inspired thoughts I was given was to sit and write. Just write. Automatic writing. This is where you allow spirit to inspire you with words to paper. So, I took action, picked up that bread crumb and created yet another habit that helped me on my journey. Before long I had gathered so many breadcrumbs of spiritual guidance that it turned into a loaf of bread. Today I refer to those collective inspired breadcrumbs as the baking of my career (my homemade loaf of bread).

The writing became a way my guides could communicate with me. They impressed words into my mind and pushed my fingers to type. They shared who they were, how many of them were with me, their purpose for wanting to work with me, my abilities and potentials in this work. They spoke about me, how long they have known me and the work we would be doing together. The Egyptian man at the foot of my bed was my main guide. That’s why his energy was so strong and felt like electricity. Also, he wanted my attention so he needed to come in with that strong feeling of electricity not to scare me but to get me to pay attention so I would act upon it.Take action. 

The writing led me to channeling my spirit guides daily and this is how they began teaching me what I needed to know to help others, to communicate with loved ones on the other side, to get to know my own potential. There are several of them now on my spirit team as my work has evolved so much so it makes sense my team that helps me must grow also. Can you imagine if I never listened to my inspiration? Can you imagine what can happen if you follow yours?

These channeled writings turned into teachings where I asked questions and they would answer. It was part of the trust building process for us. They then inspired me to want to write a book. It was them wanting to write it through me for others now that our writing was strong. They asked me to sit daily for 40 minutes. So, I listened. I created the needed time and space for it ( took action) and made the daily habit and they wrote the book through me titled “DESTINATION SELF: Navigated for you with love from my Spirit Guides”. A beautiful little guide book. This book has been so lovingly received by the readers that it still makes my heart happy.

One morning I was fluffing my pillows on the couch as the guides inspired me yet again. They wanted to write a second book. They gave me the book title, how to sit with them to receive the teachings and asked to go on Facebook and read some of their teachings to build a community.

The second book is titled “LETTERS FROM SPIRIT: Teachings from my Spirit Guides”. It was written during COVID and so divinely timed as the letters of hope, encouragement and inspiration in the letters were needed by so many people.

I read the letters on Facebook, a community did form just as they wanted and people began joining to hear the guides teachings and everyone online became familiar with each other as we would discuss the teachings and how to apply them in our lives.

Letters From Spirit is on a variety of helpful topics for everyday life like Finding Confidence, Reducing Anxiety by Painting Better Thoughts, Navigating Uncertainty, Why Your Story Is Important, Love, Staying Motivated and 26 other letter topics. I also share three personal channeled letters between them and me in the book to help the readers understand our relationship and how they guided me to work with them.

Success comes when you pay attention, and you align your energy with the guidance shown you. Act on the guidance, believe in yourself, take action, form habits that are in alignment with your purpose, desires, wishes and dreams and then create it all into your existence through your positive intentions and just a little bit of hustle.

You have so much opportunity. You hold so much potential. You are capable of achieving what you desire. It’s right at your door. To open it and let it in follow my steps and you will create the needed energy within you to claim it all and probably even more.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.

Being an Intuitive Medium is a bit of an art form. The Spirit world works with our imagination. Spirit is creative. We are spirit and we are creative. Mediumship is storytelling. As a medium I am working on behalf of spirit. I am their interpreter. They want their messages expressed correctly; they want to be represented accurately. I was a photographer for 24 years before the spirit world wanted to change my job. Because I am creative and because I have worked with photographs so long I became extremely clairvoyant. Spirit and my guides will give me a lot of imagery to help communicate their messages for my clients.

I am given the photo in my mind and with it I become aware of a feeling in regard to that photo. I see all the detail in the pictures because of the work I did as a photographer. I am very detailed in my vision. This is a way the spirit world creatively works with me. They know I will understand the picture and see all the detail in it. I use to be a storyteller as a photographer through my photographs I took and now spirit gives me the photographs in my mind to tell their story.

Messages are found in those details. Yesterday, in one of my readings a husband came in from spirit. His wife was with me on zoom. He showed up in my clairvoyance, holding a bouquet of flowers with a heart shape balloon. Spirit works with symbols as well. The symbol of flowers let me know it was my client’s birthday that day and the balloon shaped as a heart told me it was also their anniversary very soon. He came to wish her both. The client said yes today is my birthday and our wedding anniversary is next week. This was a creative way her husband could say happy birthday and happy anniversary to his wife.

That same husband also gave me a song in my head, “Here Comes The Sun” by The Beatles, and showed me a moving photo in the clients lap. I shared what I received with my client and she said she was watching a video on her phone of her husband singing happy birthday to her an hour before our session. The phone was on her lap as she watched it. In the video he said little darling to her. The song from the Beatles sing the words “Little Darling it’s been a long and lonely winter”, meaning she has been emotionally struggling for months…. “Here comes the Sun. It’s all right.” Can you see the creativeness of how spirit works to communicate? I could share thousands of examples of how creativity is given in messages for mediumship.

In order to be a great Intuitive Medium you must have an open and creative mind for spirit to use to deliver messages. You are telling their story and it needs to be right, and for that reason spirit uses the area of strength the medium has. For me it’s pictures, imagery, clairvoyance and lots of details in the photos. 

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I love to go where you can have lots of experiences. I love the Ivy for lunch on Ocean Ave in Santa Monica. Shopping on 3rd Street Promenade is full of great finds of everything your heart desires and Venice Beach is close by for some shock value and palm readers .The Santa Monica Pier is great at sunset and dinner and drinks at Onyx Rooftop Bar to end the day is fabulous.
