Core themes
Asking for three confirmations
Teri Hunter tells Chance Garton she did not arrive at psychic work through certainty but through testing. As a teenager she went to the Psychic Eye and began asking questions silently in her head, assuming at first that she was making the answers up. So she set a condition with whatever was answering. If this is really intuition, she said, she wanted to see a thing three times before she would count it as a message. That rule of three became her working method, and it still governs how she checks a sign today rather than accepting the first impression that arrives.
Spirit speaks through your own file cabinet
The central technique of the episode is what Teri learned from watching John Edward on the Sci Fi channel. Do not worry what your guides are wearing or what their names are, she says. Let them use the file cabinet of your own memories. A red apple in her mind means a teacher, a green apple means health, a mason jar means something earthy. She once heard Blake Shelton singing red over and over during a Reiki session at the Anaheim Ducks, and the client told her his late mother's name began with Red. The symbols are personal, and you build them like a language with a dog.
Mercury as the intuitive planet
Teri says her guides told her during meditation that the place to start is Mercury in your natal chart, a planet nobody thinks of as intuitive because it is filed under email and small talk. Her own Mercury sits in Scorpio near Neptune, which she credits for her pattern reading. She tells listeners to use the element. Water Mercury people should sit near a fountain or a stream, air signs should try guided meditation, fire signs should run until they hit the meditative zone. Chance notes his Mercury is in Pisces in the eighth house, opposed by a Libra moon.
Refusing to be Nostradamus
After 9/11, Teri gave her guides a directive. Two weeks before the attacks she was a wreck, and a fireman named Angel from an early season of Big Brother, who she says died that day, still gives her chills. She told spirit that if there was something she had no influence over, she did not want to know. She did not want to predict the fall of things. She says her guides worked around it. Before the pandemic she saw homeschooling and people working from home without seeing the cause, and they quietly coached her for two years to clean up her diet for her immune system.
Withholding information so the reading proves itself
Teri makes clients write their questions down and never shows her the list. When a woman told her to tell her about her marriage, Teri pointed out that she had just handed over two pieces of information. The point is not the wow. What they know that she tells them, she says, gives weight to what they do not know that she tells them. Chance calls this the party trick, the razzle dazzle some clients wait for before they engage. Teri says she takes no credit at all, and describes callers as pre qualified leads that spirit routes to her.
Quotes
“And from that moment on, I felt like if you put it in my head, if you put it in my heart, I'm gonna be brave enough to say it.”
“I'm never gonna see this list. You can bring it and put it on the table. I'm still not gonna look at it. But what it does is it's a focal point where you're engaging and inviting your guides. And then they literally set up a conference call with my guides.”
“But when the idea comes in fully formed, like you didn't think it through, it's just like, boom, here's the whole full-fledged idea. That's one way to, that's something that's worth trusting.”
“I told them, if there is something I have no influence over, I don't wanna know. I don't wanna predict, I don't wanna be Nostradamus. I don't wanna predict the fall of things. I'm not interested in that work. I wanna uplift.”
“Surrender the ego, stop asking where it's coming from, trust the information because it's always gonna be too good to be true, okay? If it's up there, you're probably closer because the human will tell you you can't. Spirit will tell you you can, okay?”
“You ask for it to be delivered to you in that way, basically. You say, show me, give me the information about what it is I wanna know through the metaphor of my own memories and experiences or my own symbolic language.”
“But whenever you make this shift to interpreting everything in life, everything within your field of perception at every moment has some sort of meaning.”
“I really would just wanna encourage the audience to, you know, I'm the kind of intuitive that I feel. I'm not trying to wow you. I want you to feel the power of your own co-creation.”

See all Teri episodes→Kyle and Serena Denton are community herbalists creating wild-crafted and organic plant medicines out of Milwaukee since 2015. I have used their teas and tinctures on an almost daily basis for years now. Kyle is a great friend of InnerVerse and has appeared on the channel more times than I can count. These products work, not in the allopathic "pharma-medicine" way, but in a terrain-support, consciousness bolstering plant-teacher sort of way.
