Wisdom Without The Guru
Behind every pivot, loss, career shift, trauma or reinvention is a story. Wisdom Without the Guru grew from my belief that growth is something we live, not something we’re taught from a pedestal. Through grounded, real-world conversations, I explore how people rebuild, adapt, and rediscover purpose after trauma, change and conflict — in work, health, relationships, and identity. My guests are coaches, authors, healers, social workers, therapists and everyday people who’ve turned lived experience into practical insight. Together, we look at what awareness, authenticity, and being human really mean when life gets complex.

A follow-up conversation with Tammie Vecchiarelli on her two guidebooks exploring chakras and psychic senses.
Tammie shares how the books were created, what they cover, and how they are designed to help people understand energy, intuition, and self-awareness through simple explanations and guided exercises.
The episode also includes reflections on personal experiences, questioning perception, and learning to interpret internal signals in a grounded way.
Key Takeaways
- Understanding concepts like chakras or intuition often starts with simple definitions before personal interpretation develops.
- Experiences of awareness (physical sensations, thoughts, emotions) can be interpreted in different ways depending on the individual.
- Not all people experience intuition or perception in the same way — there is no single “correct” form.
- Having structured resources can help reduce confusion when exploring unfamiliar concepts.
- Self-reflection (journaling, observation, questioning) is a key part of understanding personal experience.
- External guidance can support the process, but individual interpretation and responsibility remain central.
- Comparing experiences with others can create unnecessary doubt or hierarchy.
- Awareness often develops gradually through repeated recognition rather than one clear moment.
- Tools are most useful when they allow space for personal interpretation, not rigid instruction.

Introduction & context for the follow-up episode
Regina SayerThanks for joining me again on another special episode of Wisdom Without the Guru, where I am speaking with Tammie Vecchiarelli. Tammie was on the episode last week, and we kind of let it drop that we were going to do a small mini podcast about the books that she has written that she end quote downloaded. Now, if you don't know what downloaded means, you're gonna have to listen to the interview to find that out. But I must give you a warning. For some of you, this interview might seem a little bit woo because we start getting in that space of the unseen and speaking about things that maybe have to do with mediumship or psychic or sensing and seeing and hearing things that other people don't. And we also talk about the details of the book. But I have to admit that I do give away a lot more of myself in this episode than I ever have. And actually editing it, I've been thinking, oh my gosh, do I want to leave that bit in there? Oh no. What are people going to think of me now? Oh no. And especially when I start speaking about working with dragon energy. So just a heads up for some of you, you might find it a little bit woo or out there, but I do hope that you will listen because you might discover yourself that you have had something similar. In one of my episodes that I first did, where I was interviewing somebody who was born psychic and medium, and she was talking about her astral traveling when she was a child. And lo and behold, I go to my osteopath who listened to the episode, and she says, Oh my gosh, Regina, that was happening to me. And I never knew what that was. I always thought I was making it up. But now that I hear other people talking about it, I know it's a real thing, and it really did happen to me. So this is what I mean about just, you know, kind of be in an open space to hear what comes out on top of all those things that we do speak about. And it is quite a back and forth and very lighthearted and sometimes humorous conversation that uh Tammie does talk about her books and what they're meant to do and who they're meant to help. The books are actually about chakras and about um the different types of clairs. And if you don't know what a clair is, well, then you're gonna find out. I have spoken about it in other episodes with other people, but it's always good to hear somebody else's point of view about what these different things are. So I hope that you all enjoy it. If you like it, you know that you can always pass it along, leave a comment, or follow us on social media. That would be great. And I just want to take a moment and thank everybody for your support, everybody who follows the show. And of course, to all of the guests as well, who have been so willing to come in and share their stories in the hope of inspiring everybody else in whatever way they can. So enjoy. Welcome back, everyone, to this special episode of Wisdom Without the Guru, featuring Tammie Vecchiarelli. I think I pronounced it right again. Tammie? Yeah, I did. Woohoo! Okay. If you haven't listened to it already, be sure to listen to her episode where Tammie tells us of her journey from a childhood facing constant changes to her bouts of depression and the repeated loss of jobs related to the career she thought was her destiny. Ultimately, she found her true calling through teaching, living abroad, and discovering her spirituality. So I've asked Tammie to share her experience writing her books, and she's got two of them, and how that process has impacted her personally. She'll also talk about who these books are meant to help, and she'll read some excerpts from them. So you can later check them out if you wish.
Tammie VecchiarelliYeah. Hi everyone. I'm so excited to be back.
Regina SayerThank you so much for agreeing to be here. And tell us about these books. So you've got two of them, and the way that you wrote these books is not always the way you hear about authors writing books. You said you had downloads.
Tammie VecchiarelliYeah. Exactly.
Regina SayerFor anybody out there listening, we've heard about uploads to downloads for computers. But what is a download, first of all?
Tammie VecchiarelliThat's a perfect analogy though, actually. A download is like information that you get from your spirit guide, source, God, whatever your belief system is. And it's one of those light bulb moments where suddenly you just have this knowledge of what you're supposed to do. That's exactly what a download is.
Regina SayerWhy would you associate a download with something coming from some esoteric unseen realm instead of your just creative muse coming alive inside of you?
Tammie VecchiarelliThat is such a great question. And I feel like actually it's both. I don't feel like it's one or the other for me. It's both. Um, and the reason why I say that is because I have a connection to the other side. I'm also a medium. So I can see spirits, speak to spirits. And when I'm communicating with them, they're giving me information. And from there, like you said, it's almost this discernment and working together. So it's not just like, oh, here we go. Here's all this information. You're just telling me everything and I'm writing it down. It's a relationship that's going on.
Regina SayerYeah, I asked that because I have heard of people who have said that they've completely channeled information that they didn't know. So how is it your information, information that you would that you already intuitively knew and you were just guided to create this book for people, or was it a little bit of both?
Tammie VecchiarelliIt was a little bit of both. Um it's based on my own journey and like we talked about in the last episode, about how I learned different areas of spirituality over time and finding a way that other people could do the same thing I did, but quicker in an easier way.
Regina SayerYep, I'm 59 and I'm looking at Tammie, who's obviously at least 20 years younger than me, correct?
Tammie VecchiarelliYeah, I'm 33, so yes.
Regina SayerOkay. So you are writing this for people around your age, or you're writing this for anybody?
Tammie VecchiarelliAnyone, because you know, I feel like I was talking about this with a friend the other day. I feel like we have this spiritual awakening. We have this aha moment of I'm not alone in the world. You know, there are other, whatever you want to call them on the other side supporting me, but I don't feel like it's just one. I feel like there are multiple instances where that happens. And, you know, it could happen for me when I was 27, or it could happen to someone when they're in their 50s. It really just depends on how your life is and when you're open to that possibility.
Regina SayerYeah. Okay. So as an older person, why would somebody come to you with this information? What is it that makes what you have special and want me to read this book?
Tammie VecchiarelliWhat makes it special is I feel like people say that they have their guardian angels around them. They have spirits on the other side, family members, whoever it might be that they want to talk to, that they want to have some kind of communication with, but then they actually struggle to hear back from them. And I have been very fortunate where my guides are very talkative, sometimes too talkative, that I believe that I can help others to be able to bridge that gap.
The Importance of Life Experiences
Regina SayerYeah, I'm just asking you these questions because I know, you know, there are people out there who will think, oh, well, she's just, you know, she doesn't know anything. She's too young. You've got to be, you know, old and shrivelled before you know anything to give advice to anybody else.
Tammie VecchiarelliI totally understand that, you know. Everyone has different life experiences, you know. We talked about my story the other day and how much, oh my God, happened from when I was young until I was, what, 20? You know, some people don't go through that in their whole lifetime. So to minimize what someone goes through because of their age, I don't feel like is necessarily fair.
Regina SayerYes, that's a very, very, very good point. And that's something else that I want to expound upon because I really think it's important that people do not look at somebody else's journey and compare it as being, oh, my journey was was much harder than hers. I've had it so much more difficult, or for such a longer period of time. So I have more knowledge or I have more wisdom because uh I really don't think that's the case at all. I mean, you've meet some young kids who say things that you wonder if, you know, it's like an old person in the there speaking to you.
Tammie VecchiarelliExactly. You know, that also takes into account what we were talking about last time was, you know, if there's past lives and all these different things. So I mean, yes, I might be younger right now, age-wise, but you know, maybe I've had more past lives than you, so I have more soul experience than you do. So I don't know.
The Process of Writing and Creating Books
Regina SayerI think the key thing is don't compare your journey, your grief, your trauma, whatever it is, to somebody else's because you either try to elevate it or make it less. It's just your experiences that my experiences that I've had to learn from that looking through the lens of like somebody like you, Tammie, can also help me further understand my own experiences. So thank you for that. I get stuff from all of my guests. I mean, I always learn something from every single guest who has been on this show. Always. And I'm always amazed that wow, I never looked at it that way. That's a new way to look at it. Or I hadn't think thought about that, or I hadn't even known about that. Yeah. But let's get into the books. So you had these downloads, and what was this? Just like a weekend, you're just sitting there and you're thinking, all right, I don't have anything to do. Spirit, tell me what's going on. What should I do? Let me pull a tarot card. Shall I write a book?
Tammie VecchiarelliNo, it never happens like that for me. No. It's that usually I'm like just doing something in life, and all of a sudden it's like, wait, what about this? And then like I let it settle, and then in the next day it comes up again, and it's like, wait, oh, wait, that's what that meant. And it like all kind of comes together. I wish I could explain that in a better way than I just did. But it's like the epiphany moments that I have that it's like, one this day, one this day, and then over time it becomes a sequence and I can almost figure out the equation that's going on there.
Regina SayerSo it's not like you're having to be hit over the head with a baseball bat to do it. It happens to some people. They don't get the message right away.
Tammie VecchiarelliYes, yes, yeah. Well, I mean, and if you look at it that way, maybe that if I had listened the first time fully, then maybe I would have gotten it. But no, it takes me a couple times, like put the whole story together.
Regina SayerWell, they did hit you over the head with a baseball bat because you did get lose your architectural job three times.
Tammie VecchiarelliWell, yeah, right, all right.
Regina SayerMove on, move on, move on.
Tammie VecchiarelliYeah, yeah, yeah. I can be slow sometimes, okay?
Regina SayerOkay. So when you were getting these ideas, what were they telling you?
Purpose of the books & who they are for
Tammie VecchiarelliYeah, they were telling me that when I went through my early part of the journey that we talked about in the last episode, it was a lot of self-discovery and a lot of, you know, researching and figuring things out and kind of piece-mealing things together. And what if there was a way where all of the information that you needed was in one place and you could just buy one book and have all of these resources in it so that you could grow your senses to the full degree.
Regina SayerAnd was there a specific target audience that you were aiming at in particular?
Tammie VecchiarelliNot necessarily, no. It was more so of looking back. It was something that I wish I had when I was on the early part of my journey. And if someone's just discovering spirituality and they're saying, What are chakras? What are the clair senses? What what are these things? How do they work? How do I develop them? That's really where it came from.
Regina SayerYeah, that's interesting because I remember when I had my huge awakening, I was it was in the middle of a Reiki share. And so the really only thing I knew about was Reiki. And I knew about yoga and I kind of knew about chakras. And I kind of had a little bit of idea about kundalini because I'd taken kundalini Reiki, but had not really an idea what it was. And then um, nobody could tell me what was happening to me. Nobody. And I mean, this was my Reiki master. I would go to people, and of course, what they tell you is always through their own experiences because everyone's awakening is so different. What you experience is so different, but mine was so physical. I remember being in a Reiki, second level of Reiki, and this guy being in there. He was saying, Your energy is so strong that it's burning me. And he literally went and sat on the other side of the room. And so it made it seem like something was wrong with me, you know, because I had been, I had told my instructor that, hey, I've been experiencing all these things. I mean, I had no idea what was happening. I was feeling all this stuff. I was feeling people's stuff without even trying. And she told me she was protecting herself against me.
Tammie VecchiarelliThat's nice.
Regina SayerThat set me off on my whole shadow work. In retrospect, I thank her for that because what happened is I went home that night and I started having dreams that my energy was hurting my husband and my son, who was quite young at the time. And that's what I started figuring out. And then it turned out she had her own issues, she shut it down or whatnot. But what I agree with what you're saying is like when you start out on this path, there's there's so much stuff out there, and so many people are trying to tell you things, and you just don't really know what's going on with yourself.
Tammie VecchiarelliYeah.
Regina SayerAnd what's happening. So it's good to have, you know, some kind of resource that you can turn to.
Tammie VecchiarelliExactly.
Regina SayerWas it looking specifically at people who might be hearing and seeing and feeling things or something else?
Chakras in General, Solar Plexus Chakra and Personal Experiences
Tammie VecchiarelliSo it's there's two of them, and both of them are in the format of a guidebook. One of them is about the clair senses, so that's your psychic senses, and the other one is about the chakras. So in both of them, I take you through the basics of what is for the chakras, what is the energy of each chakra, what colour are they? Just the very basic things. And then from there, I say, okay, we figure this out now. Feel into your own body and where can you feel the energy? Actually feel the energy in your body. Can you feel any blocks? If you're feeling these blocks, what blocks are you feeling? How could that be affecting you? And along that journey, I'm telling you how I develop things and giving you journal prompts so that you can have the chance to have the guidance, but also figure things out on your own. Because that is for me what I really loved in the beginning was I was able to tap into myself and understand who I am.
Regina SayerOkay, so read an excerpt. Open the chakra one. I want the chakra one. Let's do that one first.
Tammie VecchiarelliOkay. So the issue arises when blocks are in the way of energy moving freely. When this happens, the energy is not able to move freely back to its home base. Think of it like a river. It will create a type of dam. This will cause the water in the river to either slow down, stop, or get redirected. When this happens to your chakras, this can cause various issues. It can cause a multitude of problems, anything from having trauma, a trigger being formed, an emotional breakdown, or a physical ailment. These problems can be due to stagnant energy or an energetic block.
Regina SayerAnd do you have a particular excerpt for a particular chakra?
Tammie VecchiarelliI do. And that's what I love about these books is that not only I give you the overall, I also give you each individual chakra. So which one do you want me to read about?
Regina SayerWell, let me see. I'm having some ones with my solar plexus. So let's do that one.
Tammie VecchiarelliSolar plexus, awesome. Okay. An area to be mindful of is each chakra deals with different emotions. If your solar plexus chakra is not aligned, you may feel low self-worth, low self-esteem, a lack of love for yourself, a lack of compassion or for others, and struggle to show the world who you are. Additionally, there are imbalances in this chakra. You might struggle with manifesting the things that you want into your life. And some areas of your body that can be affected by this are the spleen, small intestine, gallbladder, liver, pancreas, autonomic nervous system, muscles, and lower back. So an example of this is someone that struggles with their solar plexus could end up having something like pancreatic cancer.
Regina SayerSo let me tell you about myself, all right?
Tammie VecchiarelliPlease.
Regina SayerI have been struggling with digestive issues for quite some time, and my stomach is a bit bloated. And I always feel like up really in the center, just above the navel. I have like uh uh issues, and I've been to the doctors and they can't necessarily... My blood work's come out fine, you know, nothing's there. Who knows if I have any kind of um gallbladder issues? But, you know, the gallbladder relates to fear. I think the liver is anger.
Tammie VecchiarelliYeah.
Regina SayerAnd so I can tell you that in the last couple of years I've struggled and I fell off my own spiritual bandwagon and had problems finding myself and went through therapy for two years with somebody trying to come back and take back my power center because the solar plexus is also your power center as well.
Tammie VecchiarelliExactly.
Regina SayerAnd I felt like it had been taken away from me with my uh husband having acute leukemia and everything that happened around that. And I lost myself, I lost my spirituality, I lost my power center, I lost my connectedness, and it took forever to come back. And then it did come back, and I was getting healthier and whatnot, and then I lost myself a little bit again. And that's when it took me like this year and a half to start finding my voice again and and and deciding does, you know, is my voice worth being heard? Do I want to put my voice out there? Why do I want to put my voice out there? Um, you know, when when you say about your self-worth, that's that's all of that in there. So I can see, and I hope that listeners, you can kind of see the correlation, how it could be that manifestation that's happening in the solar plexus area with all the different things that are happening.
Tammie VecchiarelliExactly. You know, and one of the things that I learned very early on from my mentor is this saying, form follows energy. And when I say that, it's if you have this energy block that's in your solar plexus for long enough, those emotions that you were talking about that get stuck in those specific areas like all water and the liver, over time, if they continue to stay stuck, it's like a like a dam, like I talked about. And eventually that's when your form, your physical body starts to have those ailments that start to affect you. So that's why energy work is so important, whatever way you use it, if it's holy fire, Reiki, or whatever it may be, um, to make sure you're cleansing your physical body so that you are as healthy as possible.
Practical Exercises for Chakra Work
Regina SayerAre there uh sort of exercises that you have in the book that you give to people around doing this? Around working with their cellar plexus?
Tammie VecchiarelliYeah, exactly. So in the beginning of the book, I actually have an assessment for you to take so that you can identify maybe what areas, what chakras that are kind of out of alignment or maybe you should focus on. And then we go into the definitions of what I just read, actually, of what they are, and then there's uh journal questions and prompts for you to kind of go through to help unblock those things.
Regina SayerSo for somebody who doesn't work with energy, is there anything in your book that somebody who doesn't like know Reiki or anything, a tool that they can use that's in the book?
Tammie VecchiarelliYeah, I think that just the basics of understanding what the chakras are, that is a really great foundation. Because then after you start to even tap into that energy and say, okay, my solar plexus is the color yellow. When I do a meditation, I tap into that. I feel like that in itself helps you to start transmuting that energy. It's just even the acknowledgement that it exists. Okay.
Regina SayerSo let's talk about this other book. Are they connected? Can you have one without the other?
Tammie VecchiarelliYou can have one without the other.
Regina SayerSo we'll talk about the other book. What is that one designed for?
Tammie VecchiarelliThe other one is very similar in format to this one because it takes you through exercises and everything. But this one is more so focused on your psychic gifts, your clair senses, and tapping into that side of you.
Regina SayerSo you talk about what the different clair senses are.
Tammie VecchiarelliExactly.
Regina SayerAnd how they manifest. So can you give us a reading from one to tell us about?
Tammie VecchiarelliDo you have any that you specifically like or want to talk about?
Regina SayerI think the one that is the hardest for most people to trust in is when you hear your voice talking to yourself. And to so you just think, oh, that's the hamster called Regina inside my head talking to myself. And that's not really information that's coming in. And I think that's it's the hardest one for people.
Tammie VecchiarelliI feel like it is because you know, I feel like that gift in particular it combines a few of the different gifts together to meld together, and it can be confusing. So what I wrote is clairsentience is a psychic gift that connects us to the physical body and the other realms. This is where claircognisance, clair audience, and clairvoyance meld together to the gift of clairsentience. So some examples of this could be clear feeling, a gut feeling about things, feeling hot and cold sensations that you were talking about earlier. That like, oh my gosh, I'm just burning up, mediumship, dread about something that's going on. Clairsentient people often spend their lives feeling like they are between the earthly plane and another plane. This is because these people are people who can travel to different realms and connect to different beings.
Regina SayerSo I know for the people who are just listening to this or can't see see the audio, the video, excuse me, I'm pointing to the dragon behind me because I always have this dragon because I work with dragon energy. And so, you know, it's always this type of beings, you know, that people don't think exist, but are in stories and mythology from whenever and wherever across the world. So how did that happen? Sometimes I feel a bit crazy, you know? And people think you're crazy too, you know, when you start when someone says, Oh, I can see, you know, and I I actually thought the reason I don't see is because it would scare the hell out of me if I saw something.
Tammie VecchiarelliYou know, that is such a common thing. Like I know I had that same fear. I hear that all the time from people that have mediumship gifts. What if I see it? What if I get scared? It's such a common thing.
Regina SayerBecause with a clairsentient, is I will sometimes be sitting here and I will feel like, all right, something is on the left of me. And I can just feel that there's something on the left of me. Although recently I have had something flush the toilet when I was editing. I was editing one of the other episodes. That was one of the first episodes that came out for someone who is a psychic clairvoyant medium. And as I was editing it, the toilet on the landing kept flushing on its own. I literally went out and it's never done that before. I literally went out and I said, looking to see if somebody was in the house. Nobody was in the house. And I thought, okay, what's going on? What's going on? I'm sending the messages to that medium saying, hey, hey, hey, hey, I'm editing your work. What's happening?
Tammie VecchiarelliYeah, there was definitely a spirit there messing with you, which is just they love doing that.
Regina SayerWell, I went and I pulled a card and what it said was, you're protected. And it happened two times when I was editing her work. It was crazy. It was crazy. That's the only time I've ever had something like really physical happen, you know? So what would somebody do who has this kind of ability? I'm not going to use the word gift because some people don't view it as a gift. What would they do to be able to, for lack of a better word, convince themselves that they are not crazy and that it's real?
Tammie VecchiarelliYeah. Oh my gosh. I feel like that is such a thing that all of us struggle with. I do too. I feel like there almost isn't a perfect answer. It's, you know, as you have those things that happen in your life where like someone is flushing the toilet and no one's home. And you're like, why is this happening? Sometimes you just have to recognise, you know, weird things are happening. And I'm not making it up. And it's even crazier when weird things are happening, and then people are around you when the weird things happen and they're like, What is wrong with you? I I don't know, all right? I don't know. You know, I feel like part of developing your gifts is really just the recognition. And once you can get over the recognition, then if you want them to, they can develop even more because it's almost like you're claiming a part of yourself.
Regina SayerAnd what is one of the other, in your opinion, more difficult clairs to work with?
Tammie VecchiarelliI feel like it depends person to person. Because everyone has such different gifts. For me, it was early on recognising that I had clairaudience and that my guides were talking to me for years through music and really defining how to do that. Whereas other people I've met, they have, oh my God, such big energetic bubbles where they can hold people and they don't realise that they have that gift, you know? And I feel like that is a whole other discussion of just having that conversation in the spiritual space of the differences in the gifts, because everyone's is so vast and wide. We came here for different reasons with different gifts.
Regina SayerYeah, and that brings up a good point is that just because somebody is clairaudience or clairsentient, and I think there's clair touch and there's clair, there's somebody who has taste as well. And everybody has different degrees of it.
Tammie VecchiarelliExactly.
Regina SayerIt's not the same for everybody. So somebody who tastes, they might taste cookies when they think a certain type of being, let's say, just just for example's sake, an angel is around. They taste cookies, like chocolate chip cookie in their mouth. But somebody else might experience a different taste, like mint chocolate chip cookie.
Tammie VecchiarelliYeah, exactly. And isn't that the amazingness of how everyone's gifts are different? Or it could be like someone touches the glass next to them that they thrifted, and then they get visions of, you know, the person that owned it before them. I can't do that, but someone else might be able to.
Regina SayerYeah, I'm glad I can't do that. Might make it a bit difficult to go into antique stores. Okay. Is there any other part of the book that you think would be a good excerpt?
Tammie VecchiarelliNot sure. You know, there are just so many different nuggets because it goes through each individual clairsense, just like with the chakra book, and gives you examples and journal questions. And then I also talk about how my journey in developing my clear senses were, which going back to that clear audience that I talked about a second ago, for me, the way that I developed it was one, recognising that it was a gift. And then it came to a point where I would have that ear worm where I heard this song in my head. Yeah, I know. I had this ear worm in my head, and it would happen a couple days in a row. And I was like, okay, there's something here I need to do this. I would listen to it, just almost like with the cards that we were talking about the other day. I would write down whatever intuition-wise I found. I would then look up the lyrics and then notice the ways that things kind of work together. So it's just like with pulling a card and feeling into that energy, you know, I feel like the way that you uncover your gifts and understand the magic within them is so dependent on you. And that's why I love this book because yes, I'm giving you the basics and yes, I'm giving you questions to help guide you along the way, but at the same time, it's your journey. It's your journey and it's your self-discovery.
Regina SayerThat's very interesting when you're talking about how you um sort of the logic that you have behind, well, I shouldn't say logic, logic intuitive, whatever you know you want to call it, behind deciphering what a song is and how you look at the words. Something very similar happens to me, is that whenever I feel an energy or I feel something, I always have a name manifest in my mind. And I've learned over time that the name represents the energy. It's not the name of the person. So, for example, the dragon behind me, I call Sophia because it was one of the first names that came to me. And it came after I'd done a past life regression and um three-hour past life regression where the floor around me turned completely hot. But I had come back and I had got this name Sophia. And then my son comes home from his little daycare thing and says, Oh, oh, my friend at school, Sophia, it was her birthday today. And I didn't know if his friend Sophia was, you know. And so I thought, okay, okay. So I filed that away. And so I called this dragon Sophia, which means wisdom. And for me, when I started down the path, it was like this wisdom that you gain, you know, this wisdom that comes to you, and wisdom that you need to be careful about as well. So it was always names, and it's always like weird names. It's names that are usually Latin or Greek or Celtic or something that it's not gonna come to me. For example, I'm not gonna get, except it did happen one time, as I say that, a Japanese name. Because I don't speak Japanese. I'm not gonna recognise that. So it comes to me in a way that I can, you know, kind of go, oh, that's a name. That's that's some kind of name. Let me go look it up. And that's when I see what that energy is that relates to the name. And that's how like all of the beings that I work with, I have their names. And I just call them by their name because it represents their energy. It doesn't mean that it's truly their name because probably their name I can't even pronounce.
Tammie VecchiarelliTrue, true, true. You know, it's so funny. I have to say this now because they are just they're being very loud right now, my guides. Um when it comes to that fire, that uh heat that you're talking about, have you ever thought, and maybe you have, that the reason why things get so hot energetically is because of the dragon guides that you have. It's the fire from them coming in to help heal you.
Regina SayerI have thought about that. Um, but I never feel them in that way, actually. I don't know what was happening in there. That was some weird situation. But no, I've never actually ever felt them in that way. Um I have felt them in the sense of weird stuff happened in the house. Like there was a window that was closed and and a dragon statue was sitting on a counter that suddenly fell off. And um, my cats were nowhere around. Not that they fled the scene, no they did it. But I thought, and this is where I was starting to open up to working with dragon energy, and I was refusing to do it, and stuff just kept happening. So that was another time, and I was and by that point I was like, all right, stop breaking my stuff. What is it that you want?
Tammie VecchiarelliYeah, I totally understand that. The reason why I asked is because actually I have my own dragon spirit guide. Her name is Sephira. And I usually, whenever I feel her, she comes over my shoulder and I can just feel her like itching at my back right now. Like, I want to talk, dragon lady, I want to talk to her. She gets it. So that's why I had to bring it up.
Regina SayerYeah, and this beautiful image I had drawn is actually not how I see dragons. I always just feel them as an energy and not actually as a type of form. Because you know, in different cultures, you've got different ways of seeing dragons and whatnot. But um, did they ever exist? I think they did exist. I really do think they existed at some point. I think they still exist, actually. Yeah.
Tammie VecchiarelliEven if it's just an energy, I think they still exist.
Regina SayerYeah, well, definitely. If they're in an energy, they exist. Okay. So as you were writing these books, was there anything that you were learning yourself or that you were healing in yourself as you were writing these books?
Tammie VecchiarelliOh my gosh, yes, of course. Because that's just what writing is. It's cathartic. Um, you know, because when I started writing them, it was just a almost a vomit of like, here's everything that like needs to go in it. But then as I did it, it was redefining and figuring out energetically, you know, how things come into place, you know, and it was reflecting on where I had been to where I have come to now. So I feel like it was a lot of that reflection energy and trying to, yes, put some of my energy into the book so that like people could understand, you know, the transformation that could happen, but at the same time making sure that I'm more so holding the space so that when someone gets the book, they can have their own transformation. It was really interesting. I got um a copy of the book, just like an initial print to like check and see if everything's fine. And I took a picture of it because there was an issue with it to send it back to Amazon. And when I did, the cover, when I took the picture, was illuminated. Like there was some kind of spiritual light coming from, like, whoa, I can just see the energy that's coming from it.
Regina SayerYeah. And speaking of, where can Amazon? Where can you actually find these books?
Tammie VecchiarelliOn Amazon, actually.
Regina SayerYeah. And um, what we haven't actually said what the names of them are. So what are the names of them? What is about chakras? What is the one about chakras called?
Tammie VecchiarelliSo both of them are under the category of learning who you are. And one of them is learning who you are, a guide to the chakras. And the other one is learning who you are, a guide to the clairsenses.
Regina SayerAre they available also on your website or only through Amazon?
Tammie VecchiarelliRight now, primarily through Amazon. But if someone wants a digital copy where they can download it and put it into an app and use it that kind of way, they can just email me and I'll be able to send it to them that way.
Regina SayerOkay. And for your own clients, you use the books, you incorporate them, how with them?
Trusting your experiences & final reflections
Tammie VecchiarelliI do. My goal is, in the end, is to have a bunch of resources for my clients, including these books, where they get my one-on-one help during a session or we do the mapping and I help you clear energy. But I feel like a mentor can only do so much. I can only help you so much. You also need to do the work yourself. But because I went through that instance of struggling to find those resources, I want to support you in a way where I can give you those resources and you can use them at your own will. I'll suggest things to you when I think it's necessary, but it's your choice. Everything is your choice. You have free will.
Regina SayerOkay. And um, any other books come forthcoming?
Tammie VecchiarelliYeah, there's a whole bunch more coming. Um not yet, but soon. Uh, I want to do more that are based specifically on the energy of each chakra.
Regina SayerSo is there a particular tool that you have put in one of these books that really is your favourite that you can share here?
Tammie VecchiarelliYeah, I think my favourite part just because it's fun, is the quiz that both of them have, just to kind of figure out the basics and it takes you through question by question. It's like a yes or no kind of thing. And then at the end, you kind of tally up and see, you know, where do you have more, where do you have less? And from there, that's just the basic information that you get. And you actually from there get to decide if you think that your energy is aligned with where your results came out with.
Regina SayerHmm. Okay. Interesting. Well, is there anything else you want to say about these books?
Tammie VecchiarelliNo, I don't think so. I did want to mention though, I just remembered, if anyone is interested in my journey in general, of like me doing this travel thing, I also have started a blog just documenting what's going on in my life and you know, all of the little spiritual things that happen, the people I meet along the way, and how I'm making this these decisions with my intuition.
Regina SayerAnd where do you find those?
Tammie VecchiarelliYeah, it's actually on Medium, the app Medium.
Regina SayerOkay, so Medium is like Substack, if anybody doesn't know about Medium.
Tammie VecchiarelliExactly. Yeah. I plan to go on to Substack too, it just hasn't happened yet.
Regina SayerAll right. All of that information will be in the show notes. So any final words before you head off to your final destination to Italy.
Tammie VecchiarelliYou know, exploration is so much fun when it comes to yourself. And just try and explore who you are, because I think you'll be surprised with what you find.
Regina SayerWell, listen, have a wonderful time in Italy when you finally do get yourself there and get yourself sorted. And thank you for coming and talking about your books. And oh, I just want to add that the reason she's actually not showing her book is because she's saving the planet and it's a print on demand book.
Tammie VecchiarelliYep, exactly.
Regina SayerSo that's why she's reading off her screen and not actually holding the book up. But you can get the actual hard copy on Amazon.
Tammie VecchiarelliExactly. Thank you.
Regina SayerAll right, everybody. Thank you for joining us for this special episode. And until the next time, wishing you a beautiful day and night. Depends on what part of the world you're in, wherever you are. Bye, everybody.
