COLETTE BARON-REID ON TURNING UNCERTAINTY INTO OPPORTUNITY

Renowned medium and oracle card expert COLETTE BARON-REID is a “spiritual cartographer,” helping others orient themselves within themselves and in the world.

This year Hay House rereleased two of her previously published works: 2011's The Map and 2016’s Uncharted. In her new book, The Art of Manifesting: A Meditative Drawing Practice to Rewire Your Brain and Create Your Reality, Baron-Reid and transformational art coach Anna Denning unveil The Art of Manifesting Method. Its calming practices, which include meditating, journaling, and drawing circles and flowy lines, are designed to create new neural pathways, enabling the participant to cocreate with the Universe through the power of synchronicity. Here, Baron-Reid talks with contributing editor KAREN BRAILSFORD about the process of intentional synchronicity, manifestation, and stepping into the world of infinite possibilities.

KAREN BRAILSFORD: Tell me about Uncharted, rereleased recently as You're in the Right Place, and why it's relevant today.

COLETTE BARON-REID: Uncharted was before its time. We reissued it because I saw the uncertainty that was coming. The book is about where home begins—in the realm of Spirit. We mistakenly think that our certainty will come from the outer world, but it doesn’t. We spend our entire lives relearning what we knew as babies: that we are all worthy, that we are part of this unity consciousness, and that we are all intrinsically connected. And yet we play this bizarre game in which we manufacture things to separate ourselves from one another.

We frantically look for answers—for our entire lives on Earth. We get here, we put in place the things we need, and then we forget! We wonder, How did I get here? Where did I come from? But the answers are always right there.
