Today we are very lucky to have Trena Barnes Join us.  From my initial brief communication with Trena, I understand that she teaches psychic development classes which is quite fascinating.  My first look at her website really had me quite impressed.  It is one of the nicest websites I have seen in a long time and very clear and pleasing to the eye.

Q:  Welcome Trena.  Could you tell us how you first became interested in the Psychic Realm?  and then how that led you to actually teaching courses ?

A: First of all, thank you for the compliments Tom.

I’m not completely certain what got me started because I was quite young but I think it might have been a fortunate coincidence. When I was about 10 or so, I found some of my father’s books about UFO’s and other strange phenomena. Even at that young age I found them interesting so I started looking for similar material at the local library. At that time those types of subjects were next to the very small “occult” section so with my voracious appetite for reading it was probably just a natural progression from the Bermuda Triangle to ESP.

As I got older I wanted to learn to do all the interesting things I’d read about. Lots of the books claimed we all had these gifts and I had seen enough evidence around me to know that it was true (my mother told us about a dream she’d had about the death of her Grandmother and when the phone call came on the same day with the news, all we could do was stare in awe) but I had never exhibited any ability.

That changed in 2005 when I took a course on angels. During the course, my skeptic’s mind demanded proof that angels exist so I asked them to tell me something about my spouse that I could verify. I won’t tell you what they said but I heard a voice in my head giving me information loud and clear and when I asked my husband if the information was true, he laughed and told me it was.

That for me was definitive proof that there is much more to our universe than meets the eye. It also proved that psychic abilities exist since we have to access them in order to speak with our angels. I’d never really been psychic before (or so I thought) so we must be able to learn how to use these senses.

From that moment on I lived a very different life, one in which there was amazing magic and peace knowing that we are truly never alone in the universe. It was an incredible comfort to me and I knew that I wanted to help others experience that for themselves.

Along with loving to read, I love to write so I began to write what I think of as an instruction manual for developing your psychic ability and that eventually formed the basis of my classes.

Q: I usually start out my first question seeking to gain some general background information, but since I cheated and looked at your website I noticed that there are four main areas you focus on, namely ThetaHealing, Angel Readings, Mediumship and Reiki.  Perhaps you could tell us a bit about each of these…

A: ThetaHealing is an amazing modality so named because the healer goes into a theta brainwave state to do what amounts to power manifestation. Each of us holds beliefs in our subconscious mind and since our subconscious is actually the majority of who we are, it can create havoc in our life if the beliefs held there are in error. The theta practitioner in doing a healing goes into a theta state to connect with God, Source Energy or Creator who then coaches the practitioner about what is held in the subconscious of the person to be healed. When an erroneous belief is found or Creator notices that information is missing (such as not knowing what it feels like to be loved for example) Creator will change the belief or download the missing information to the person being healed. The practitioner psychically “witnesses” the healing take place and it becomes so.

During a session, muscle testing is used to find beliefs so we can immediately know if change has taken place by re-testing to see if the belief has changed.

Reprogramming ourselves in this way can change your life quickly. Instead of doing affirmations for long periods of time to convince yourself you believe something, Creator can instantly teach you how to and what it feels like to believe it. Both physical and emotional issues can be healed in this way.

Angel readings are similar to psychic readings in that people usually seek them out for information, guidance and clarity, but instead of gathering the information from the energy of the client, I ask the client’s angels for it.

Each of us has angels around us at all times that act as guides. These angels are here to help us with anything we require and want very much to be heard. They are speaking with us at all times. If you have repeated thoughts or synchronistic happenstances in your life chances are that your angels are behind them.

During a reading I connect with your angels allowing you to ask questions and get very specific information in return. My experience with them is that they talk to me psychically in visions and their guidance always makes you feel uplifted and loved.

A mediumship reading is similar to an angel reading except that the goal is for the medium to connect with a deceased friend or relative. Because I have been trained as a spiritualist medium, it is important that during a session, I can establish that the spirit I’m connecting with is who they say they are. I always ask for information from the spirit that my client can verify and the reading does not proceed until my client and I are certain who we are communicating with.

What is different than an angel reading is that we are connecting with beings who are not enlightened. People who have crossed over can be in death very much as they were in life. This is why we ask for verification of identity but it also means that if a spirit doesn’t wish to talk to the medium, there isn’t much the medium can do about it. Some people believe that those who have crossed over recently might not know how to communicate with a medium or are too busy to do so. I believe some spirits are a bit shy as well. Going into a mediumship reading, we must be aware that a connection might not be made.

For many, a mediumship reading can be a very profound experience because it is proof positive that there is life after death. It can be very healing for the client as it is an opportunity for them to make sure their loved one is safe, happy and comfortable. In many cases, connecting with a deceased loved one provides amazing closure that allows the client to move through the grieving process with ease.

Reiki is an energy healing treatment which is similar to acupuncture except that instead of needles being used to move energy in and around the body, the practitioner uses their hands and the energy is channeled. It is thought that the universal life force energy that each of us has within us can build up or block some areas and thus causes disease. During a Reiki treatment, the practitioner uses their hands to manipulate the energy, dissipating the blocks and allowing healing to occur.

Reiki treatments are done with the client lying down on a massage table and are very relaxing and rejuvenating.

All of these services can be done in person or remotely, that is, by phone, email or Skype.

Q:  What type of person would be best suited to your classes on mediumship and psychic development ?  Are there any important requirements before someone signs up?

A: Anyone who is interested in angels, psychic abilities, ghosts, crystals, alternative healing or the paranormal would be suited to my classes whether they think they have ability or not. The classes are fun and filled with laughter which helps dispel commonly felt fears.

There are no requirements specifically for my classes but having an open mind would be helpful. You do not have to believe in everything right away, but the classes are a great way to open the door to a world you didn’t know existed. Just about everyone I’ve taught has had some kind of eye-opening experience that is proof positive of the reality of this stuff. Our angels are especially great at giving us proof of their existence in the physical world.

Previous ability isn’t necessary either. As I’ve said before, we can all do this. Most people find that they’ve actually been using their abilities all their lives and didn’t realize it.

Q:  How long does it usually take someone to learn the skills you teach?  Is there a time frame which they should plan for or does it really depend on each individual ?

A: Everyone will be using their abilities by the end of the very first class. Trusting that they are using their abilities takes a little longer. As I said, most people realize right away that they’ve been using their psychic senses all their lives but didn’t know it. I think this is because movies, t.v., books and even other psychics have portrayed that these abilities are gifts given to special people only and that they are difficult to learn and use. This is hooey! In reality, being psychic is easy, fun and natural.

Trust is important because when you first start using your psychic ability, it seems like you are making it up, or it is your imagination. Some people are really afraid of doing this work and that can make their ability shut down as will trying too hard.

Practice takes care of most of these. Over time, you will receive validation of your ability by experience or by using your new skills with someone else. That helps immensely with trust. When you become confident at what you are doing, fear also becomes less of a problem.

The best part about all of this is that very little practice seems to go a long way. These abilities are rather like a muscle. Work them out regularly and they become strong and reliable quickly.

Q:  I already mentioned that you have a really nice looking website (and maybe a newsletter as well ?).  Tell us about it and how people might contact you?

A: My website is located at www.treeoftranquility.ca There you can find more information about the services I offer plus courses and articles about developing your psychic skills. I also publish a monthly email newsletter. If you are interested in receiving it please send me an email at info@treeoftranquility.ca If you prefer to call, I’m located in Calgary, Canada and my number is (403)519-8030.
