TSC Talks Guest Katherine Caulfield

TSC Talks guest Katherine Caulfield shared with us recently.  Katy is an author, energy healer, astrologer, and mystic “focused on self-love, self-healing, and holistic wellness through uniting the spiritual and physical realms”. Jill crossed paths with her when given the gift of a channeled healing through past podcast guest, Dorina Leslie. Not familiar with this modality of healing, I had no idea what to expect, was concerned I was going to “screw it up” and was pleasantly surprised at the outcome. I received some poignant insight and feedback which helped significantly and thought it would be great to have Katy on to share her own story of how she got into this line of work, as well as how she was led to channel 9 books, her kundalini awakening and thoughts on our current state of affairs with COVID.

From her website, “Inspired by her own eye-opening spiritual and Kundalini awakening in 2013, Katherine began to follow her heart, her curiosity, her passions and to remember why she had incarnated on Earth. This led to lots of writing, energy work, astrology, travel, communing with nature, learning about consciousness and so much more! A few years later, in the summer of 2015, she received first contact from The Spirit Collective, a team of non-physical guides who informed her they had nine books for her to channel. She is now honored and grateful to deliver these important messages of love and wisdom to all of humanity.”

Katy started out by sharing how she was led to this work through her grandmother, “I would say, it almost goes back to my grandmother. So I was named after her, Catherine Katie. And she was a psychic. And so she did these readings. So I grew up with this. I grew up thinking it was normal, you know.”

She went on to explain coming to the realization that she had psychic abilities, “I think had always been on some level aware from a young age. Like I had an imaginary friend that I spoke to, which is probably more of like an angel. But, I didn’t really step into it until into my 20s.  And it was after she passed that, and you know, who knows how that all works, but, she’s definitely supporting me on the other side as well.”

Pretty cool stuff.  Here’s one more snippet and then you can go listen to the episode!
“2013 was when I really, as far as I know, I had a spontaneous Kundalini awakening.
It was very intense, very intense, it totally rocked my world.  There was no control, there’s no way that I could have changed it or, directed it, it was coming from a higher place.  I mean, I experienced a lot. And I can go into that, but, very high highs, and then really low lows. So very transformative. But when it first happened, and really throughout, and since then, I would say the only way I could describe it was like a full embodiment, receiving of grace, like divine grace like that.”

We will update these show notes with a listing of topics and time they play within the episode shortly!

An excerpt; ” So between Jim Annie and myself, we have all facets of the industry covered. I am a 40 year veteran of the cannabis industry and in this world since the mid 80s. I worked at America’s first hemp company, that was owned by Steve DeAngelo in the early 90s. I’ve known Steve since the late 70s. Worked with his company in the 80s. I worked with EcoBoost in the 90s and we’re still friends today. Annie Rouse is our resident academic. She is the world’s only Fulbright scholar in the subject of hemp. She is also currently the only person who carries a master’s degree in hemp. She and others have put hemp in space. We are studying hemp on the International Space Station. Jim and I are working on novel delivery devices. We have two patents filed, one for cannabinoids and lipophilic compounds and another for reduction of the spread of coronavirus using our delivery device and some of our cannabinoids and other features and he is an expert on regulation. Annie sits on the board of directors, she is the secretary of the Hemp Industry Association. She is on the board of directors for the US Hemp Authority and the Hemp Roundtable. I am on the board of directors for the National Cannabis Industry Association and I am on the Hemp Industry Committee. Our job is education and getting the knowledge out there about the plant and that it’s good for people to use”
