Check Out Avery Foster’s Story

Today we’d like to introduce you to Avery Foster.

Hi Avery , please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
I went through a huge shift in my early 30s which led to my spiritual awakening. I remember being deeply unhappy in a corporate role and feeling stressed, anxious and physically sick all the time. I had reached a point where I was materially successful, but I was lacking purpose and joy. I knew there had to be more to life than what I was currently experiencing. One day, while I was on vacation, I went to a psychic for guidance and this woman confirmed that I had psychic gifts of my own and that she could help me to fine tune them. I studied under her for a year or so and she taught me everything she knew. I learned how to meditate first to disconnect from the distracting thoughts and connect to the subtle energy of my soul where intuition comes from. From there my psychic abilities started coming online and I could easily see and feel the presence of spirit guides, angels and loved ones on the other side. Then I started diving into all forms of spiritual and esoteric knowledge to fuel this new passion. I learned how to read Tarot, Reiki energy healing and I studied past lives, The Akashic Records and different spiritual teachings. When I started to trust my intuition, and not my ego, everything kind of fell into place. I started doing readings and energy healing for people and word spread quickly of my business. I was then able to quit the 9-5 and open up an office for in person clients.

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
I think the biggest obstacle on my path has been myself. I had to learn how to release major fears and heal limiting beliefs. The fear of putting myself and what I do out into the world via social media and other platforms was a big one. What would friends, family and associates think about my unconventional skills? I was broaching topics that may seem scary to some people. Early on, I joined a business networking group in my conservative leaning area, where I gained some valuable skills in presenting myself and what I do for a living. Most were accepting but a few people were never going to be coming to me for services or referring me to others but that is entirely okay. I don’t believe it is my job to convince people of what I do, only to be here for those who need me. I also had some limiting beliefs I had to work through, such as the belief around money and that I couldn’t make a living charging people for readings. I had to learn how to value my worth and have strong boundaries with some clients and the spirit world as well. This was very hard for me initially, as a natural people pleaser and empath.

Also, when you work from your intuition it sometimes feels like you are making things up. I had to release some heavy doubts and trust that I was getting certain valuable information for clients even if it didn’t make any sense to me personally. For example, recently I was doing a reading for a client and the image of two penguins holding hands kept coming to me. I told her I thought that in regard to her question about her relationship this was a good sign because I knew that penguins mated for life. Well, the very next day she messaged me letting me know that the guy she was dating brought up this very same example of the penguins mating for life and that he was presenting this as a metaphor for their relationship.

Looking back, I am grateful for all of the challenges I have had because I believe they have made me a stronger, more grounded person and now I can help others to overcome personal struggles and be brave in difficult times too.

Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
I am a genuine and compassionate psychic medium and energy healer. I have studied with different spiritual teachers from all over the world and through my studies and miraculous personal experiences over the past ten years or so, have developed my own way of reading for people. I specialize in providing information that gives hope, healing and guidance for people going through challenging times and who really need some clarity and perhaps validation. I can also connect to loved ones and animals that have passed on to bring through evidence of who they are and their messages. I also really love doing past life readings where I tap into the akashic records to see who you were in a past life, where you lived and the major themes of that life. I find that the lives that come up are usually related to a particular issue that a client may be struggling with or show people and places that the client has an affinity with in this lifetime. I learn so much doing these readings too and they can be very healing. Most people tell me the information received is a bit mind blowing.

Teaching is also a passion of mine. I love teaching people how to connect with and develop their own intuition and particular set of psychic skills. We all have them; it is just a matter of devoting time and energy to develop that muscle. I can help you to make sense of repeating signs and synchronicities or help you through the struggle of a spiritual awakening. For most people going through an awakening, it generally starts with a crisis of some sort, then a phase of deep soul searching and healing, and finally emerging as a new and bright soul who can see the beauty of life.

Do you have recommendations for books, apps, blogs, etc?
For me learning how to meditate and quiet the egoic mind was essential in learning my craft. I listen to solfeggio frequencies or binaural beats on YouTube or different guided meditations depending on my mood. There are also two books I recommend for understanding non-attachment to the ego and tapping into the intelligence of your soul. The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle and The Untethered Mind by Michael A. Singer. Also, the book Many Lives, Many Masters by Dr. Brian Weiss to learn about past lives, and the book A Radical Approach to the Akashic Records by Melissa Feick had a big impact on me and my work.

Currently, I am taking a course at the Monroe Institute called The Gateway Experience which I highly recommend (They also have an app called Expand). I am learning to tap into the different levels of consciousness through sound frequencies and guided meditation. This course helps people to connect to energies and intelligence outside their physical bodies, for focus, well-being and extrasensory perception, and provides tools for removing fears, manifesting, problem solving, etc.
