Meet Rev. Justin Terry, D.Div.

We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Rev. Justin Terry, D.Div. a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Hi Rev. Justin, really happy you were able to join us today and we’re looking forward to sharing your story and insights with our readers. Let’s start with the heart of it all – purpose. How did you find your purpose?
Most people think their purpose is a clear cut path. And most people think their purpose is tied to a career path. The truth of the matter is that this is true for some people, not all. I don’t think it is every person’s purpose to become the next Nelson Mandela or Mother Teresa. Sometimes its much more simple than that. A person’s path is a process of self discovery to find out where their true passions lie…what makes them come alive in service.

I stumbled upon my path by “accident.” I grew up in a very small town in Southwest Virginia. Some of my earliest memories involve seeing people in my room at night- spirit people. I don’t really recall anything scary about it, but it did scare me because I knew they weren’t supposed to be there. My parent’s didn’t know how to help me. They dealt with it by not dealing with it, and there really weren’t any metaphysical resources in the area at the time to be able to help. When I was a teenager I began a journey of self discovery to try to figure out if I was crazy or not (some might say the verdict is still out). After moving to college I saw a post on social media about a mediumship development class that was meeting that very same night, so I nervously went. That class changed my life. I not only learned a lot, but received a message from someone in Spirit that I didn’t know. Upon further investigation, my mom told me that he was my illegitimate great grandfather. My grandmother was the product of an affair and I had no idea! I remember thinking to myself, “Justin, you are 18 years old, you’ve just graduated from high school, and you’ve just had a profoundly life changing experience, even though I hadn’t really lost anyone I was close to at the time. I want to be able to do that for people who have had profound loss.”

I had found my purpose! My purpose lies in bridging the gap between this world and the next to provide healing. No matter what a person’s purpose is…it will always involve serving humanity in some form. I encourage people to dig deeply into their being to discover who they are and what passions lie buried inside of them. This is where the true magic lies.

Thanks for sharing that. So, before we get any further into our conversation, can you tell our readers a bit about yourself and what you’re working on?
I’m here to guide and support individuals on their spiritual journeys. My work revolves around helping people connect with their inner selves, tap into their intuition, and find alignment with their higher purpose. What excites me the most about what I do is witnessing the profound transformations that people experience when they embark on this journey of self-discovery and growth.

One of the most special aspects of my work is the opportunity to create a safe and nurturing space for individuals to explore their spirituality without judgment or pressure. Whether it’s through coaching, workshops, or spiritual practices, I aim to empower others to embrace their authenticity, cultivate mindfulness, and live from a place of love and compassion.

At the core of my brand is a deep belief in the power of self-awareness and conscious living. I strive to inspire others to awaken to their true potential, to embrace their uniqueness, and to embark on a journey of self-love and personal growth. Through my teachings and offerings, I hope to ignite a sense of purpose and fulfillment in the lives of those I touch, empowering them to create meaningful change both within themselves and in the world around them.

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?
Reflecting on my own journey, three qualities that have been incredibly impactful are regular meditation to learn to quiet the mind, perseverance through other people’s negativity, and staying true to who I am no matter what happens.

Regular Meditation to Learn to Quiet the Mind: Meditation has been a cornerstone of my spiritual journey, helping me cultivate inner peace, clarity, and connection. By regularly quieting the mind through meditation, I’ve learned to tune into my intuition, access higher states of consciousness, and navigate life’s challenges with greater ease and grace. My advice for those early in their journey is to establish a consistent meditation practice, even if it’s just a few minutes each day. Start by finding a comfortable, quiet space, and focus on your breath or a simple mantra to anchor your awareness. With patience and persistence, you’ll discover the profound benefits of quieting the mind and opening yourself to deeper spiritual insights.

Perseverance Through Other People’s Negativity: Along the spiritual path, it’s inevitable to encounter skepticism, criticism, or negativity from others who may not understand or resonate with your journey. However, learning to persevere in the face of such challenges is essential for staying aligned with your truth. Remember that everyone’s journey is unique, and not everyone will understand or support your path. Stay grounded in your beliefs and trust in your own inner guidance, knowing that you’re following the path that’s right for you. Surround yourself with supportive, like-minded individuals who uplift and inspire you, and release the need for validation from those who don’t resonate with your journey.

Staying True to Who You Are No Matter What Happens: Authenticity is key on the spiritual journey. It’s important to honor your truth, values, and beliefs, even when faced with external pressures or expectations. Embrace your uniqueness and allow your light to shine brightly, regardless of any challenges or setbacks you may encounter. Stay true to your heart’s calling, follow your passions, and trust that the universe will support you on your path. Remember that staying true to yourself is a powerful act of self-love and empowerment, leading to greater fulfillment and alignment with your highest potential.

Trust in yourself, stay committed to your growth, and embrace the transformative power of your journey.

What has been your biggest area of growth or improvement in the past 12 months?
Over the past 12 months, my biggest area of growth and improvement has been realizing the profound power of the mind through meditation, manifestation, and magick. Contrary to misconceptions, magick isn’t about devil worship or supernatural feats. Instead, it’s about tapping into one’s own innate power to create positive change in the world.

Through dedicated meditation practices, I’ve delved deeper into the workings of my mind, uncovering its incredible ability to shape my reality. Meditation has not only helped me cultivate inner peace and clarity but has also enabled me to harness the power of focused intention and visualization. By quieting the chatter of the mind, I’ve become more attuned to my desires and intentions, laying the groundwork for effective manifestation.

Manifestation has been another profound aspect of my growth journey. By aligning my thoughts, emotions, and actions with my deepest desires, I’ve witnessed the incredible ability to co-create my reality. Through practices such as affirmations, vision boards, and gratitude rituals, I’ve learned to consciously direct my energy toward manifesting my goals and dreams. This process has not only empowered me to achieve personal success but has also deepened my sense of connection to the universe and the infinite possibilities it holds.

Additionally, my exploration of magick has been instrumental in expanding my understanding of the interconnectedness of all things and the inherent power that resides within each of us. Magick, in its essence, is about working with natural energies and universal laws to effect positive change in the world. By tapping into rituals, symbolism, and energy work, I’ve discovered new avenues for personal transformation and spiritual growth.

Through these practices, I’ve come to realize that true magick lies within the depths of our own consciousness. It’s about awakening to our inherent divinity and recognizing the limitless potential that resides within us. By embracing our power to shape our reality, we can become agents of positive change, both in our own lives and in the world around us.

In summary, my journey over the past 12 months has been marked by a deepening understanding of the power of the mind through meditation, manifestation, and magick. By tapping into these ancient practices, I’ve experienced profound growth, empowerment, and transformation, leading me to embrace my true potential as a co-creator of my reality.
