1) A little intro on who you are and what you do?
Sure! My name is Ryan Michaels, and I am a spiritual mentor, motivational speaker, intuitive consultant, paranormal theorist, and medium. In 2019, I had the profound privilege of co-hosting A&E’s reboot of Psychic Kids, where I traveled across the United States mentoring children struggling with their intuitive abilities.
I hold a BA degree in Demonology and Theology from the American Institute of Metaphysics, as well as an AS in Liberal Arts and Social Sciences from Pennsylvania Highlands Community College. Additionally, I am certified in Reiki 1 and Reiki 2 through the American Reiki Association.
My true passion lies in lecturing – teaching others new spiritual and philosophical approaches to life has been the most rewarding experience of my journey thus far.
2) Who is your biggest inspiration in Spirit and on Earth?
My inspirations shift depending on where I am in life and what challenges I’m facing. However, my grandfather, Edward Swope, and my Uncle Rose Minor Kuhn have always remained at the top of my list.
My grandfather’s ability to transform himself and prioritize his family in such a way that his past became inconceivable is something I deeply admire. He was a man who thought before he spoke, someone I never saw anything but calm, kind, compassionate, and sympathetic. He was not only my first friend but remains ever-present in my thoughts.
My Uncle Rose had an extraordinary ability to set aside personal opinions and examine situations from all sides, allowing the truth to emerge. She was one of the few people I trusted wholeheartedly to guide my decisions. My memories of them both are not just recollections—they live with me in the present.
3) What’s one of the biggest things Silas your son has taught you?
Silas, my son, is one of the most incredible human beings I have ever met. The happiness he brings, not just to me but to everyone around him, is profound.
In just 21 months, my son has done more for me than I could ever do for him in a lifetime. He’s reminded me of life’s simple joys: eating a few goldfish off the floor, sipping a capri sun, needing nothing more than a hug, sitting down to watch The Wiggles and The Land Before Time, and how a simple walk around the block can ease even the crankiest day.
Most importantly, he has taught me that somewhere between being an innocent child and becoming an adult – we all lose perspective on what truly matters. If the little things once brought us joy as children, then those same small things can still bring us happiness as adults.
The greatest gift this world has given me is my son.
4) I love your vulnerability in life. Do you often find people think as a professional spiritual mentor you have it all figured out?
I genuinely appreciate that compliment. My vulnerability is not for attention—it’s my way of staying relatable. I make it a priority to ensure my followers and friends know that I definitely do not have it all figured out.
As a Buddhist, I believe life is a continuous series of challenges—moments of suffering that shape our wisdom and experience. My ability to mentor others comes from my own struggles, from the deep moments of pain that have given me clarity from the universe. I simply share what I’ve learned.
My life is just as difficult as anyone else’s—sometimes, I swear it’s even more challenging. I would deeply question any mentor who gains clients by pretending to have it all figured out.
5) Psychic Kids was an Incredible show. Do you see yourself doing anymore tv in the future?
Psychic Kids was truly a one-of-a-kind show and, to my knowledge, remains the only program specifically directed toward children. I miss filming and, more than anything, I miss working with the kids. If the opportunity arises, I would absolutely be open to working with networks again in the future.
6) Do you have any advice for people with how the state of the World is right now?
Many in my field may not appreciate my perspective on today’s world. While most lightworkers and spiritual mentors believe we are in a pivotal moment of awakening—entering a new spiritual era—I see things differently.
First, we are always in a state of transition—individually, societally, environmentally, and universally. This has always been the case and always will be. Transition itself is neither positive nor negative; it is neutral. It only becomes one or the other through the perception of an intellectually conscious spectator. Even then, how we interpret a transition is shaped by our past traumas, experiences, self-esteem, ego, and wisdom. Since no one can completely remove their biases, defining an event as positive or negative is inherently flawed—so we simply reframe them as spiritual lessons.
Beyond that, I believe we are facing a global identity crisis, one that is profoundly affecting spirituality—our personal truth. Society is stripping away individuality, discouraging uniqueness, and pressuring people to conform to certain beliefs and ideals dictated by a select few. This pressure is infiltrating schools, religion, media, and broader social constructs. When a person’s ability to be a free thinker is stifled, it places immense strain on their mental and emotional well-being, leading to a rise in mental illness, divorce, and apostasy.
We are also witnessing a growing confusion between opinion and fact. The more society forces people to accept a singular viewpoint, the more individuals cling to their own perspectives, fighting for them as if their identity depends on it. This has created a dangerous societal rift, one that we’ve seen deepen over the last few years.
We are living in a time when spirituality and faith are at extreme risk.
My advice to anyone reading this is simple: no matter the pressure placed upon you—fight back. Choose the educational path that fulfills you, not just the one that guarantees money. Dress the way you want. Love who you want. Embrace your uniqueness fully. And as you embark on this journey, do so with grace, love, compassion, and empathy for others who are struggling. No two paths are the same.
7) Do you have an example of Genuine Love that you have experienced the past year?
At the end of 2024, I went through a separation from someone I deeply loved and trusted. I felt wronged, abandoned, defeated, and lost. But in that pain, I also experienced love in its truest and most powerful form.
Love is not just about holding on—it is also about letting go. As Osho taught: “If you love a flower, don’t pick it up. Because if you pick it up, it dies and ceases to be what you love. So if you love a flower, let it be. Love is not about possession. Love is about appreciation.”
As painful as it was, I learned that true love means wanting someone to be happy—even if their happiness no longer includes you. The paradox of love is that while letting go is an act of genuine love, watching someone blossom without you can make you feel like you’re wilting. And that is why the process is so authentic—you willingly take on the pain so the person you love can live the life they chose. You surrender the future you envisioned so they can have the future they decided they wanted.
In the end, you love them more today than you did yesterday.
8) Where can we find out more about you and book a session?
I offer a wide variety of sessions, classes, and programs—all of which can be found on my website.
www.psychicryanmichaels.com
1) Tell us a little about you & what you do!
Well, up until a few years ago I was just a regular nine-to-fiver that didn’t know any different to what Western society told us life was all about, though I’ve since seen that there’s so much more out there than what we’re taught and shown and that we don’t have to do what everyone else does. So now, although I am still part of that space, I realise I can forge my own path in a different direction, and so I started off by giving readings using oracle cards and trying my hand, so to speak, at energy healing. Although I still do those regularly on lives on Facebook, though I generally do not use the cards any more and just go with what comes through intuitively. I predominantly focus on sound healing now. Shortly after learning about the spiritual realm, I was drawn to investigating about how different frequencies can help with healing, and so over the last few years, I have developed, and continue to develop, a healing frequency system that incorporates the chakras, the aura layers, and all parts and systems of the body, and often infuse these with the frequencies of pretty much anything, with different herbal/plant frequencies being my focus at the moment.
2) When you realized you had abilities, was it hard to adjust to the world around you?
It was at first, as it felt like a completely different world, one which I was afraid that I wasn’t going to be accepted by those closest to me. Though, I needn’t have worried as they were all extremely understanding and just wanted me to be happy, which I was and certainly felt much more “at home” in this new world I was experiencing. It was also challenging due to the fact that I was suddenly aware of everything around me, and was seeing and feeling signs and energies all over the shop, so it was quite overwhelming at first and it took a little while to acclimatise and integrate this new awareness.
3) How has nature helped you personally and helped you with guiding others?
There is a small forest near me, and so I often take a walk there when I feel the need to unwind and just forget about the world for a while. There is a specific tree that I sit in when I go there, and like nothing better than to spend time connecting to it and the nature around me. I’ve also recently started setting my wake up alarm tone as the sounds of the forest, as I find it’s less of a shock when it goes off, though it also makes me want to lay in bed longer just to listen to it!
4) I know you are a huge fan of music. Can you Give us an example of how music can be used to help us in our daily lives?
Aside from the usual putting on your favourite song, band or genre to lift your mood, I generally find that learning, or at least attempting to learn, to play any part of a song you really like, helps to connect with that song even more, plus I find the learning, just as much as the playing, to be a form of meditation. I learned to play the guitar a few years and so that is my instrument of choice, though it doesn’t have to be a recognised musical instrument, as anything will do, even if it’s just banging away on a bowl using some wooden spoons!
5) What have you found to be the easiest way to calm the nervous system?
The easiest way for me is to feel the sun on my face, or to put my bare feet on the Earth. Preferably both, but either work, though if the sun isn’t out or I can’t get outside, then what also works is listening to certain healing frequencies, and so I applied what I’m learning about different frequencies and created my own.
6) Are there any specific guides or angels you work with on a daily basis?
No not really, at least not consciously anyway, though every morning when I get up, and also just before I go to bed, I do recite the following: “My heart and mind are in perfect alignment. My hearts desire and my thoughts are one. I am a spiritual being in a physical body. My journey ahead is filled with light. The light of my soul illuminates my path.”
7) A tip to open up the Third Eye?
Aside from the usual advice of meditation, I’d say listen to your body and how it reacts to certain foods. I personally found that when I cleaned up my diet and started being aware of what my body liked and didn’t like, that my intuition and spiritual abilities developed faster.
8) What’s your favorite part about the work that you do?
I can’t deny that it is always nice to hear the positive feedback from people who I’ve either given a reading to, or that have benefitted from any energy healing or the healing frequencies I create, though I don’t do what I do for the purpose of recognition or praise, and so think my favourite part is the constant learning and remembering of wisdom and knowledge.
9) What advice to you have right now Intuitively for anyone reading this?
It seems that in this world in which we currently live, there is a constant stream of information being transmitted into our awareness. We are told what to do, what to think, how to behave, and so my advice would be to not let anyone tell you those things, but always decide for yourself what feels right, and don’t be afraid to go against the grain.
10) How can we find out more about what you do or to book a session?
I am on Facebook, YouTube, TikTok, Rumble, X, Twitch, and Soundcloud, though the best way to contact me would be via my website, alphaaurahealing.co.uk, and this also has links to my other social media accounts previously mentioned.
1)Tell us a little about you & what you do!
First of all, thank you so much, Raven, for having me on your blog! I feel incredibly honored!
Now, for those who don’t know me, my name is Aitor. I’m 30 years old. Origins: half Colombian, half Basque, born in Venezuela, and raised in Spain. I’m currently living in London. I’m an Astrologer and Family/Systemic Constellator.
Before becoming an astrologer, I used to work in fashion and luxury. However, I made the bold decision to leave it all behind in pursuit of my family legacy. Both my father and grandfather were astrologers. When I started working with my first clients, I discovered my unique talent with astrology, which involves generational trauma and uncovering hidden family dynamics within our family and even our family tree.
Despite the invaluable information and perspective that astrology can provide, I wanted to offer my clients something more tangible, something they could take home and ground in their own lives. That’s when I stumbled upon family and systemic constellations, and that’s how I ended up writing this interview hahaha!
2) What’s a specific example on how Astrology has helped your life?
This has to be one of the toughest questions to answer, mainly because life is filled with so many incredible moments, and picking just one feels a bit unfair. But I’ll do my best.
In December 2021, there was a remarkable alignment: Mercury’s conjunction with Pluto in Capricorn, right in my 12th house. It gave me the chance to have a conversation that marked the end of a karmic situation. And, believe it or not, that same week, my ex, whom I hadn’t heard from in months, reached out with an apology.
It could have been easy to fall back into the same old pattern, but witnessing how accurately the stars had foretold this, I knew I had an opportunity that I couldn’t afford to mess up. So, I accepted his invitation. After listening to his heartfelt apologies and his desire for us to be together again, god damn I felt proud of myself. I validated everything he told me, and with more honesty than I’d ever known, I expressed my feelings.
I told him that, yes, I still loved him, and his apology meant a lot to me. However, after months of surrounding myself with the right people, I realised that even though I loved him deeply, we couldn’t be together because our dynamics together. Are just not Healthy at all so he wasn’t the right for me. With a heavy heart, I walked away. He tried to stop me, expressing that he didn’t want to lose me. I replied, ‘But you have to.’ And I turned around, taking those steps away, feeling the immense weight in my chest lift. I was proud of myself because even in that sad moment, I knew I had chosen the right path. I swear, it felt like an ancient, enormous book closing with a resounding slam.
3) What do you enjoy about London & the Spiritual aspect of it?
Gurl, let me tell you about it all! For instance, back in Spain, working as an astrologer, people often think it’s all hocus pocus, and honestly, I don’t blame them. Astrology carries a certain stigma, and the way it’s portrayed on social media doesn’t help much.
On the flip side, here in London, I was amazed when companies started hiring me to work in their offices, resolving problems and enhancing dynamics between employees using astral synastry. It’s all about comparing two astral charts to uncover strengths and weaknesses in relationships, in this specific case in a work environment.
This says a lot about how open-minded this city is. London is incredibly rich in culture, with people from all corners of the world living together, making everything literally available!
4) What’s an obvious Sign that you can tell when meeting someone without them telling you?
This one is easy to guess. I mean, everyone has the 12 energies available within themselves, and we can use them at any time. If you’re fortunate enough to grow up in an environment where parents, teachers, and adults, in general, allow you to express, play, and freely use these energies, well, you’re off to a good start on your journey.
That being said, Leo energy is super easy to spot. You don’t need to be a Leo to exude this energy (although Leos naturally have more of it). I can easily gauge the health of your Leo energy by observing how you enter a room and interact with people—hahaha, it’s the most straightforward to detect. But I can assess any energy and how you engage with it with just 10 minutes of conversation. After years of doing this, I feel like an astro-scanner—hahaha! Special mention to the magnetic scorpio gaze, I can detect those eyes miles away HAHAHA
5) How do Full Moons effect people & do you have any tips?
The full moon has two layers, at least for me. First, a full moon is essentially the sun in front of the moon. The sun represents consciousness, and the moon symbolises the unconscious. Physically, the sun provides the light, and the moon receives it. Full moons are moments when the unconscious is revealed. This is why people often have trouble sleeping during this time, as something wants to naturally surface from the depths of our minds. However, because it often involves a realisation, a change, or facing an uncomfortable truth, people resist it, and this resistance creates friction, leading to the stress you feel in the week of the full moon.
Since I’ve learned this, I check where the full moon will occur in my astral chart and see how it connects with my natal planets and transits. It’s like having a conversation with the stars. They show me something about myself. I choose how to handle it, but once you see it, you can’t pretend it didn’t happen- hahaha.
The second layer of a full moon is to celebrate manifestations that you initiated six months ago with the new moon in the current sign.
6) If we are wanting to Travel, can Astrology help us in anyway when planning?
Absolutely! You just need to show me your astral chart, and depending on the type of trip you’re planning—whether it’s for a weekend, a week, or even months, and whether it’s for fun, work, or spirituality. Do you want to travel alone, with a partner, or in a group? When do you want to travel? I can assess the available energy by checking your astral chart, transits, progressions, and even your solar revolution and make the most of t! :)
What’s more, I saw in my solar revolution that I had a fantastic opportunity back in 2022 to embark on a spiritual journey in a group. When Egypt called my name, I knew it was meant to be. That trip changed my life!
7) Who’s your favorite Astrologer and why?
My favourite astrologer is also one of my mentors, Mia Astral. I can’t help but see myself reflected in her. Hahaha, I’m sorry, but she’s also Venezuelan like me. When she speaks, it feels like home. She emigrated to the USA and she is the perfect example of how not to let a couple of books define you or your life. She has the south node in conjunction with her sun, and whatever you read in astrology books about that kind of aspect is never beautiful. Through her personal experience, she has brought new meanings and definitions to what you can truly do with the karmic nodes in your astral chart and how they work on a deeper, personal, and global level. She build a platform with nearly 3M followers. And of course she’s also a lot of fun hahahaha
8) There has been so much talk about Aliens in the news lately. How does this relate to astrology?
In my videos, I often emphasise that while I am an astrologer, I do not allow astrology to define or control me. Instead, I choose to observe, practice, and share my knowledge. With that being said, let’s delve into the astrological aspects at play. Uranus, a planet associated with the unconventional, plot twist, what comes from the stars and and outside-the-box elements, is currently transiting through Taurus, which is traditionally linked to our planet Earth, money, stability etc. This transit allows Uranus to interact with the seeds left behind by the north node in 2021 and 2022, symbolising new destinies and possibilities. Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Jupiter, known for its amplifying effects, enters the picture. When Jupiter and Uranus come closer to each other, typically within a 10-degree separation, it is considered a conjunction in classical astrology. The week this alignment started I observed the sparked discussions and speculations about extraterrestrial phenomena. While I cannot predict the exact outcome, I am genuinely intrigued to witness how this conjunction unfolds in April-May 2024. It has the potential to leave a lasting impact on a global scale, and we may remember it for years to come.
9) Do you have any tips for Rituals for New Moons?
For new moons, I always recommend two things: first, check the specific area of your astrological chart where it will occur. Then, reflect on the corresponding area of your life and consider what you would like to see flourish in the next six months. Keep it simple with just one word, and contemplate how you can incorporate that goal into your daily routine through small steps that bring you closer to achieving it. Set intentions, plan the most clear and easy the better the results :)
