Guidance

Videography and production by Erin Bormett, Liv Paggiarino and Hailey Hofer.

Rexanna Ipock-Brown combines her transmedium abilities with her Tarot practice, and enters a state of self-hypnosis before every reading to allow the energy of her own spirit guides, her client and her client’s guides to facilitate the session. Within the state of hypnosis, she imagines herself in a white room, and there her guides show her images or point her in the direction of the answers she is seeking. She said she had to learn how to discern whether the guides she encountered in her mind were actually hers, and she has now come to know a few that regularly help her with her readings.
