Dear Friends and Clients,

SCHEDULE CHANGE – My surgery has been changed to Monday, July 29th so I will be unavailable for readings probably until the 7th of August due to pain meds. (Hip replacement) If you have been thinking about scheduling, please do so this week. I am working on having a schedule put on the website so you can actually pick your day and time directly from there, but I don’t know when it will be available. My webmaster is working on it and then I have to figure out how to use it. I will keep you posted.

E BOOKS AVAILABLE – I wanted to let all of you know that all of my books are now available as e books. Finally. The easiest way to get them is through the website. I am working on doing the audio books next as I have had a huge demand for them.

FINDING LOST CATS – As I have shared, my least favorite readings to do are lost cats that were either outdoor or indoor/outdoor. Cats that are allowed out have an average life expectancy of TWO YEARS while strictly indoor cats have an average life expectancy of TWELVE YEARS. I cannot tell you how many readings have started with, “My cat never leaves the yard,” or “He just snuck out,” or “We don’t know how he got out,” or “He would trash the house if we didn’t let him out.” Build a cat house or catio with a cat door so they can go in and out on their own into an enclosure with a top on it, so they are kept safe. We see coyotes with cats and small dogs in their mouths just trotting down the street in Nevada way too often. If you do lose your cat, be sure to check the ditches along the roads to see if they have been hit. Post on the Nextdoor app. Do flyers that make it sounds like the cat is at death’s door – “Elderly cat with heart condition needs special diet and medication.” Just this information has caused people to turn loose of a cat they intended on keeping. People that find lost cats become judgmental and decide that if someone is so careless to leave a cat out, they don’t deserve to have it. Or they assume it has been dumped. At the very least, make sure your cat has a GPS chip on the collar and keep it charged. I can usually determine if they are still alive, what direction they went in, whether or not someone is caring for them and I also get Guidance on what else you need to do in order to get them home.

DOG BREEDS THAT CAN’T SWIM – This may seem shocking to some but there are dog breeds that cannot swim. If you have a boat or you love to go to the beach in the summer, this is important information. For some breeds, their neck is too short to keep their head above water. If your dog loves water, be sure to get them a life-jacket to keep them safe. Here are the breeds that don’t do well with swimming:
• French Bulldogs
• English Bulldogs
• Pocket Bullies
• Pugs
• Dachshunds
• Boxers
• Shih Tzus
• Basset Hounds
• Corgis
• Maltese

THANK YOU – A huge thank you to all of you that have posted Testimonials and have done referrals. We had some amazing details come through this week from readings that were just bizarre and so specific that there is no way I could have known the details. Most of my new clients come from referrals from old clients and I will be forever grateful to all of you for your support. I am so honored that I get to do this work. That is why I work 7 days a week and holidays. I have found that there are very few people in this industry that can do all of the different types of readings that I am able to do so I can help in so many ways. I love it when we start with a pet or horse and I have to switch to the human’s problems, often with emotional reactions. I am honored to be of service.

Love and Light,

Dear Friends and Clients,

GREAT NEWS ABOUT SCHEDULING APPOINTMENTS – You can now pick your day and time on my website at www.TerriJay.com  You can schedule 7 days a week. We’re still working the bugs out so if you have any questions or concerns, please e mail me to let me know. Please be sure to check the date and time before scheduling since I have to correct any errors in scheduling on the back end and I am not very good at it. I hope this helps you to know how far out I am booked. Appointments are often available immediately. We even put a clock on the home page, so you know the time difference for Pacific time.

WHAT TYPES OF READINGS DO I DO? I still get questions about the types of readings that I do so I want to make sure that you know that I can help with everything except predictions and police work. Predictions are unethical due to the Law of Attraction, and I can’t deal with the negativity involved with police work. And you can do multiple subjects in one session. I do not charge by the animal like some people do. I can do intuitive life coaching, horses, dogs, cats, crossing over readings, career consulting, relationships, finances and lots, lots more in one session. If you have a lot of different subjects that you want to cover, be sure to schedule an hour so we are not rushed. I thoroughly enjoy helping in all of these areas and I am always surprised at the Guidance that comes through.

BACK TO SCHOOL – It’s back to school time and I really want to stress the importance of letting your kids know that bullying will not be tolerated. If your child is being bullied, do not stop filing complaints until you know that school administrators are taking it seriously and will be protecting your child. Too many young children are committing suicide from bullying. If your child is a bully, it is not cool and it doesn’t make them tough. They need to have consequences. I read about one girl that got taken off the bus for bullying whereby she told her dad that he would have to drive her. Instead, the dad followed her in his vehicle for the 5 mile walk to school. This is a great example of appropriate consequences.

GETTING READY FOR FREEZING TEMPS – Here in northwestern Nevada, we are already dipping down into the 30’s at night. It’s time to check your stock tank heaters to make sure they are working and ready to go. Make sure you have wood pellets for bedding when your corrals get too wet and muddy. Drag out all your horse blankets and check that the straps are all functional and repair any rips or tears so when those first blizzards strike, you are ready to go. Flextape works great to repair blankets but it’s a two-person job to put it on. Peeling off the backing may make you say bad words too.

HIP REPLACEMENT SURGERY – I had my other hip replacement surgery on the 29th of July, and I am already just using a cane. I was back to work with a full schedule on the 3rd of August. I had anterior which I highly recommend. For those of you riders that need this, be sure to request a bigger ball so you have a greater range of movement for mounting and dismounting. I took good meds for two days and then switched to Tylenol and have been fine ever since. When you have to use a walker, the buckets that hang over corral panels work great for carrying things. I can’t wait to get back to riding and I have the date circled on the calendar when I hit 12 weeks. I won’t know how to act when I can ride for longer than 10 minutes and do it without the crushing pain.

BEST HELP FOR GRIEVING – Every relationship that we will go into will end, whether it’s with an animal or a human. This is a fact of life. The unknowns are quality and quantity. Grief is a natural and normal part of life. Yet we have no skills on how to deal with it. When we have unresolved grief, it can lead to breast cancer, heart disease (broken heart syndrome), lung cancer and more. One of the most healing things you can do is have a crossing over reading where I can connect to your loved ones, both human and animal, and get specific details on their lives. Knowing they are still around, just non-physical, can go a long way to helping you heal. Don’t worry about being emotional during your reading. Everyone reacts that way. It is really fun for me to get the details that I do. I can’t make this stuff up. Also, request energy healing instructions to help you release the grief, so it doesn’t poison you.

As always, love and light

Dear Friends and Clients,

FALL SPECIAL – Free eBook with readings until 9/21. For every reading appointment booked until that date, you will receive my first book, “The Cowgirl Shaman Way – Seven Easy Steps to Develop Your Intuitive Ability.” This book can teach you how to do all of the unique readings that I do. There are lots of people who have learned how to do this and are doing it for a living. I make this work as simple as possible because I want everyone to benefit from developing their own innate abilities. Remember, you can now pick your day and time for your reading on my website.

LOWEST RATES FOR COMPLETE READINGS – My rates are some of the lowest in the industry, even though I have been in a TV series and had lots of national and international coverage. I do this so I can serve everyone. There is no limit to the number of subjects in a session. I do not charge $50 per horse like some people do. You can do horses, dogs, cats, people who have passed, pets who have passed, relationships, finances, health, etc. IN ONE READING. My rates are still $50/$90, even though all of the fees that I am charged have gone up substantially. It is an honor to be of service.

MAKING THE LAW OF ATTRACTION WORK – I have worked with a lot of clients who are frustrated with the Law of Attraction. I have found that the biggest reason it doesn’t work for some people is that their thoughts are clear and concise, but their feelings aren’t a match. You can have a great visualization of what you are trying to manifest but your feelings can sabotage it by beliefs that you don’t deserve it, or you will never have it, or you aren’t capable of manifesting it. Working on self-love can make a huge difference. Think of who took your power as a child by telling you that you weren’t good enough, write them a letter, tell them off and then burn the letter while taking your power back by saying, “No one is ever going to treat me like that again!” It is incredibly empowering and can take away the blocks you may have to manifestation.

HEALING HEALTH PROBLEMS – All of the proper diet and exercise programs in the world cannot prevent you from having serious health problems. Please read that again. Too much emphasis is put on diet and exercise which only takes care of the 1% physical body. We have to remember that we are 99% energy. Cells respond to emotions. We only have to think about how we feel physically when we first fall in love versus how we physically feel when we are grieving to know this is true. Disease is issues in the tissues, caused by stuck negative emotions. Energy healing, which releases the stuck negative emotions is simple and you can learn to do it for yourself. It will address the 99% energetic body where disease resides before it becomes physical. I always give away FREE energy healing instructions to anyone who requests them. It has to be sent by e mail so if you want them, please let me know.

GIFT CERTIFICATES – Gift certificates are a great idea for anyone on your upcoming holiday list. I can send them by e mail or snail mail. We all know someone who is grieving and would love to hear from their loved ones on the other side, both human and animal. We all know someone who is stuck or depressed that could use some good Guidance to get unstuck. If you want to purchase a gift certificate, please contact me by e mail so I can take care of it for you since the website requires picking a day and time before payment.

HORSES AND PERFORMANCE ISSUES – I am still surprised that so many horse people do not do regular maintenance on their horses. Or that the modalities that they are using aren’t often enough or aren’t working. Horses are designed by nature to graze and run from predators. They are not designed to do all the crazy fun things that we like to do with them. For the most part, they love their jobs. But they have to be comfortable in order to do them and do them well. They must have regular chiropractic adjustments by either a human chiropractor that has been certified for animals or a veterinarian who has been certified in chiropractic. The faster the horses go and the harder they turn, the more often they need it. But they must also have treatments for soft tissue. I have found that Acuscope and Equiscope are the only modalities that have proven results, and it is the only modality that I recommend. You can find practitioners on Facebook on the Acuscope/Myopulse Practitioners page. If you have a performance issue with your horse, you may want to schedule a reading so we can get to the bottom of the pain.

OLD DOG’S QUALITY OF LIFE – When your dogs start showing signs of age, make sure you are doing everything possible for their comfort and quality of life. Joint supplements can work wonders and when needed, there are great pain meds to add in. Chiropractic is essential for dogs too. Acupuncture is fantastic. I saw some of the greatest improvements with my old dogs with massage from a certified massage therapist. They would cry when they saw she was here and fight to go from the sofa onto the massage table for their turn. Then they slept for about 4 hours afterwards. Their mobility was greatly improved. Don’t just assume they are old and that’s why they have trouble getting up and moving around. Also, your dog does NOT have to have a long walk every day if it has mobility issues. Ask yourself if you are making it worse or better. I see people about dragging their old dogs because it is too painful for the dog to take the same long walks as they age. Use common sense.

As always, love and light

Dear Friends and Clients,

FREE E BOOK WITH READING – Just a few more days left to get your free e book, “The Cowgirl Shaman Way – Seven Easy Steps to Develop Your Intuitive Ability,” with any reading scheduled in October.

THE UNDERSIDE OF THE HORSE – As you know, I do a lot of readings on horses. I am still surprised at the number of horses that are in pain in their pecs and adductors. These are the areas between the front legs and between the back legs. I seriously could guess that they have pain there and be correct a lot of the time. Most healing modalities that deal with soft tissue do not reach or address these areas. Pain in the pecs and adductors can cause behavior issues and performance issues. Not wanting to accelerate, not wanting to turn and not wanting to pick up a certain lead are all indications of pain. Most horses will not tell you “I won’t,” but they will tell you “I can’t.” Remember too, that because horses are prey animals, once they are in pain, they assume a mountain lion is on their back, it just hasn’t completely dug in their claws or teeth. The only modality that I have found that addresses it is Acuscope or Equiscope. It is microcurrent therapy and is the best at healing soft tissue.

POST HIP SURGERY UPDATE – Many of you have asked how I am doing so here’s how it is going. I hit my 12-week post-op date, and I have to tell you that I have my life back after 7 years of limited or painful mobility. I was back doing chores with my helper Betty at 4 weeks, and I am cleaning corrals, doctoring horses when needed (I couldn’t bend down to do their legs), moving hay bales and most importantly, RIDING at 6 weeks! I can put on socks and boots, pick up things off the ground, walk long distances and go shopping with a non-electric cart. I can’t wait to get back to my favorite – thrift store shopping. If any of you are facing a similar surgery, e mail me and I am happy to share the details.

HOLIDAYS AND FAMILIES – The holidays are right around the corner. It means spending time with families. This can be good or bad. You often hear the expression: “But they’re family.” This has become a license to abuse you out of guilt. You don’t need to subject yourself or your immediate family to any kind of nastiness, abuse, guilt or other negative experiences if you have a family that treats you badly. It is not a requirement to spend time with your family if they are not nice and the experience is uncomfortable. If there are alcoholics or drug abusers (prescription or illegal), it is a perfect excuse to not be around them. Plan your own gatherings with your friends who have no place to go. Sometimes we just need a divorce from other family members.

WINTERIZE YOUR HOME AND RANCHES – It’s that time of the year when all bugs die for us up in the northern tiers. The freezing overnight temps can cause havoc if you are not prepared. Make sure all hoses are disconnected from the hose bibs and sprinkler systems are drained. It’s also time to check to see that outdoor animals will have access to fresh, unfrozen water. It’s also a great time to spread Preen or other weed preventative, as long as it is in areas where animals don’t go. Close the vents to your foundation too. If you have a pump house for your well, make sure it has a heater in it and that it is set to maintain the correct temperature. Hopefully with these tips, you will have a safe and healthy winter.

ENERGY HEALING – I write about this and share information with you all the time because it is so important. If you are suffering from cancer, an autoimmune disease, female problems, digestive issues, etc. I would encourage you to schedule a reading appointment. I have been a medical intuitive for 34 years and I even have physicians who use me and refer clients to me all the time when they are stumped. At the very least, request the energy healing instructions.  Disease is issues in the tissues. We are 99% energy and only 1% physical. All the diet and exercise in the world will not keep you healthy. I repeat: All the diet and exercise in the world will not keep you healthy. You must deal with your stuck negative emotions. Cells respond to emotions. The problem is that energy healing is FREE, and you can learn to do it for yourself. The AMA will only recommend drugs, surgery or other modality where the medical professionals can make money. These are not bad things, just often not in your best interest.

DIS-EASE IS CAUSED BY DISEMPOWERMENT – I came to this conclusion many years ago. In each client’s case where I was seeing an emotional cause for their disease, it was the same thing – someone, somewhere in their life, often in early childhood had taken their power. They were told that they were ugly, stupid, too young, a girl, a boy, etc. Each case made them feel “less-than.” We don’t realize it at the time, but these statements all take a person’s power. To take your power back, write the person a letter, tell them off and then burn it while saying out loud, “No one is ever going to treat me like that again!” This is a great way to take your power back.

YOUTUBE SHOW – After many years of deliberation, I have decided to film a show and put it on all the social media. It’s not the network show that I had hoped for but the professionals that are guiding me are sharing that you can actually make more money and reach a global audience with a show on social media rather than a network. Stay tuned because there will be opportunities to do Skype or Zoom readings at no charge and some local readings in the near future.

As always, love and light!

Dear Friends and Clients,

BOOKS AND GIFT CERTIFICATES – The holidays are right around the corner and if you can’t think of a gift for the animal lover in your life, horse people, those that are grieving, those with health problems or those who are interested in developing their intuitive abilities, books are only $20. (e books are $9.95) and gift certificates for readings are $50 for a half hour and $90 for an hour. I highly recommend it for people who have lost a loved one, whether pet or human as they always feel lighter when they connect to the ones they have lost. You can order the books through the website, and you can also pay for the reading gift certificates there too. Feel free to call me or e mail me if you need help with it. I can snail mail or e mail the gift certificates. I have a small stash of books at my office if you need it in a hurry as Amazon can take weeks sometimes.

PRIVATE TRAINING – There are packages for private training on my website so that you can develop the innate intuitive abilities you were born with. I also suggest getting the first book, “The Cowgirl Shaman Way – Seven Easy Steps to Develop Your Intuitive Ability” and then booking regular reading appointments for coaching on how to use your abilities. This is the least costly way to develop your abilities. Other packages are more comprehensive and go for hours. We do this training on Skype or Facetime. I will have you doing readings on my critters and deceased loved ones in a short period of time. It’s truly amazing. Contact me to set up the training. I also include all three books now.

LOCAL INTERNSHIPS AVAILABLE – We are gearing up for the YouTube show and we are looking for several people to help with the project. This would be in the Carson Valley area as you need to be present to help and it will be part-time for a while and eventually full-time. These would be learn-as-you-go positions with the potential for profit sharing in the near future. We need a Videographer, Video Editor and Social Media Manager. I firmly believe this will take off like a rocket once we can get the public interested. We will have opportunities for sponsorships and advertising. Spirituality, animal communication, horse whispering, using intuitive abilities, and mediumship are all very much in demand now. Scheduling can be flexible. Please forward your interest and experiences to my e mail at [email protected]

DENTAL CARE – This has come up several times in the last few weeks, so I wanted to remind people to take care of your own teeth and be sure to take care of your pets’ teeth. Poor dental care can lead to gum disease and gum disease can lead to heart problems. This can be serious. Horses need their teeth checked and floated once or twice a year. Dogs and cats need their teeth cleaned as often as necessary. Be sure to pull back their cheeks so you can see the molars in the back to check for tartar.  Humans need their teeth cleaned every 6 months. For humans, there are discount dental plans that are inexpensive which can knock hundreds of dollars off your bill. Again, it can lead to heart conditions so don’t neglect anyone’s dental health.

HOW I DO READINGS – I get asked often how I am able to do readings of all types for people and animals. This is not woo-woo stuff. It is absolutely based in physics – energy, frequency and vibration. We can all raise our own vibration to receive information from the Universe. It’s a matter of unconditional love. I love myself, the Universe, Source and my clients. When I can feel and channel this love, it is the most powerful energy in the Universe, and it is as if I am plugged in to whatever the Universe wants to share. We can all do this work. Sometimes I feel like a Pez dispenser where I get hit in the back of the head energetically and the information flies out of my mouth. I love it! I still think my show should be called, “I can’t make this stuff up.” It’s way too specific and detailed. I am just a good listener. I am honored to be of service.

As always, love and light!

Dear Friends and Clients,

NEW YEAR GOALS – I’m not a fan of resolutions. I would rather encourage all of you to set reasonable goals – daily, weekly, monthly and yearly. Give yourself credit when you achieve a goal. Writing your goals down can make you much more likely to achieve them. Check them off when you have accomplished them. Start small and then build on your success. Get help when you are stuck or lose motivation. I’m here if you need help with this.

DANGER FOR SMALL PETS – For the next few months, it is coyote mating season. Let’s face it, they are all over the U.S. Don’t let your cats out ever. I have many clients that have barn cats and the loss there is understandable but still heartbreaking. Build them a Catio or cat house so they can be outside safely. Small dogs will run up to coyotes thinking they are dogs to play with and get snatched in an instant. Do not let small dogs out off leash. Do not use retractable leashes ever anyway. They are a danger to humans and dogs alike. Even with big dogs, a single coyote will try to get the dog to chase it and will lead it right to where the pack is waiting to kill it. Be very careful with dogs off leash.

DISASTER PREPARDNESS – With the disasters we have had going on, it is never too soon to give thought to what you would do in a disaster. Being prepared can save lives and also save treasured possessions. Most things can be replaced but sentimental things, photos and videos that have not been scanned in and saved to the Cloud cannot be replaced. Make sure your computers are backed to the Cloud or other data saving service. Important documents should be in a fire and flood safe storage container and or in a safety deposit box. If you had 10 minutes to evacuate, what would you take with you?  Make sure your insurance will cover any losses. If you have a business, it is a good idea to have business insurance that will cover you if the business can’t function or is a total loss. We all have videos on our phones so taking a video of your home, its contents and your business and its contents is a great way to prove your losses should you have any. There are services that do this for a fee too.

FACEBOOK ARTICLE ON STARTING HORSES TOO YOUNG – I have been blown away by information that has shown up on Facebook lately. There is an article by R D Dressage which addresses “Why so much so young?” This talks about how we are asking way too much of our young horses and how damaging it is to them physically, mentally and emotionally. It goes into detail about the maturation rates of horses and that many of us succumb to the adage of “Well, we’ve been doing it this way for years so why should we change now?” I firmly believe the ages for futurities should be increased so babies aren’t rushed. We’re seeing a huge increase in kissing spine (maybe because we now know to look for it.) Six-, seven- and eight-year-old horses are having to be retired because of arthritis. Something needs to change.

FACEBOOK ARTICLE ABOUT ANEURYSM’S CAUSED BY WORMS – This is another article that shocked me. If you have a horse with a roached back, pay attention and get them evaluated right away. Also, if they have unexplained lameness in the hind end, same thing. The article is by Tom Mayes who is an equine osteopath. The website is Vetlexicon.com He goes into great detail to explain how larval migration can cause verminous aneurysms (I hope I spelled that right) and as we know, aneurysms can just rupture at any time and the horse bleeds to death internally. I’m sure we all keep our equines on a regular deworming schedule, but we may not be doing enough. In some readings, I do get that a horse has a load of encysted large strongyles, and I always let you know if I get this. There is a protocol that Tom specifies in the articles on how to treat it with a Panacure Power Pack and more.

LIFE WITH GHOSTS – I am posting about this again because it is so important. This is a new film which explores the healing power of communication with those we have lost. IT HAS PROVEN TO BE HEALING TO DO THIS COMMUNICATION. You all know I do not like or use the word “Ghost” as I want to clarify what we are communicating with. Physics explains it. When we leave behind the 1% physical form, we return to being pure, positive energy. All of the negative energy, pain, suffering, bad memories, etc. gets left behind in the Earthly realm. Since it looks like, feels like and seems like the deceased, many mediums share information from this negative energy garbage as if it is how the deceased is. We must have discernment, meaning we can tell the difference between positive and negative energy. We must only tap into the positive energy. My preferred words are “non-physical energy being.” I can help in two ways. I can either do a reading to connect to your loved ones or I can teach you how to do it for yourself. My book, “The Physics of Mediumship” can teach you how and it is available on my website.

As always, it is an honor to be of service.
