I stopped wearing watches years ago. When you are a medium it can feel pointless to wear a watch. Spirits love to drain energy from easy sources like phone or watch batteries. When I made the decision to stop wearing a watch, because I couldn’t keep the batteries going to save my life, I didn’t understand that as the human with all of the control I was able to make a rule that the spirits who are around me could not drain my batteries. My decision to stop wearing a watch happened before I had good background knowledge of mediumship and what was happening.

After I went through my significant opening I learned to create and hold sacred space. I learned to create rules and expectations for spirits who wanted to work with me. I no longer allowed spirits to wake me, unless it was an energy. I made them talk one at a time. I told them that I would not reach out to a human for them, they needed to make the human come to me. I no longer allowed them to drain my cell battery. I set rules and expected them to follow them.

My wrist is still bare, I do not wear a watch despite the fact that I learned to create and hold sacred space and have rules with spirit. I realized during my time without a watch that I genuinely enjoyed not having a watch on. The act of constantly looking at the time rather than listening to my body and the earth was something that I happily released. The more that I tuned into me and the universe and the earth, the happier I got. The more I focused on the business of life, like constantly checking the time even when I really didn’t need to know what time it was, the less joy and happiness I felt. And, just like that I embraced a life with a naked wrist and I couldn’t be happier about it.
