4 things to know about Trump's new surgeon general pick Dr. Casey Means

3. Consulted a spiritual medium, set up shrine to pray to ancestors 

A newsletter posted on Means’ website on Oct. 15 is titled “9 Steps I took to find love at age 35.” One of the items on her list included a call to “Embrace the ‘woo woo’ (AKA The Mystery).”

Means described how she “set up a small meditation shrine in my house and prayed to photos of my ancestors asking for support on my personal journey, and wrote mantras and manifestations on small pieces of paper and tucked them around the shrine.” 

“I worked with a spiritual medium who helped me try to connect with my spirit guides for support and guidance,” she added. Additional items on her list indicated that she has turned to nature and inanimate objects for spiritual support.

Means discussed how she participated in “full moon ceremonies with grounded, powerful women where we called in abundance and let go of what wasn’t serving us, and amplified each others’ dreams” and “hiked alone and talked (literally out loud) to the trees, letting them know I was ready for partnership, and asking if they could help.” She also described how she “made wishes on heads-up pennies, I made wishes when the clock struck 11:11, and I made wishes on the first stars I saw in the night sky!”
