You're Not Crazy, You're Psychic

It is amazing to me that in this day and age that there are people who are afraid of anything psychic. They have a preconceived idea that not only do psychics know everything you are thinking, but they can also control your mind!  Others associate "psychic" with "crazy."  Psychic and crazy people see things and hear things that normal people don't.  Perhaps these fearful people themselves have seen, heard or felt things that they couldn't understand, so they were afraid that they might become crazy.

Starting to look at and explore your psychic energies and abilities can be scary and make you feel vulnerable.  This is why I have created a safe, grounded space for people to learn about these "mysteries" of life. Most people who come to take classes want to rediscover their psychic abilities that have been closed down.  Other people come because they are already too wide open, seeing and hearing things they don't want to hear and see. These people want to be able to close down their psychic space to a level that feels safer for them.

It is very satisfying to work people who have had mental health issues (they must stay under the care of their doctor while working with us).  It is a great relief for them to receive validation that they are sensitive souls, definitely not crazy. The psychic concepts give them a whole new perspective of their challenges.  The psychic tools teach them ways to manage their energy in ways that work for them.

Whether you need more saneness or control in your life, or more unconventionality to spice up your life, pursuing psychic development classes can positively help you.  To see if they resonate with what you are looking for, check out our classes at www.PsychicAwakenings.com/basicclasses.shtml.

What Will I Learn in Psychic School?

Psychic Awakenings is a psychic school.  I teach people how to be aware of and use their psychic and spiritual abilities.  Our advanced psychic training program is called the Clairvoyant Awareness Program (CAP).  Students in the CAP learn on several different levels.  The program is more than learning how to do aura readings and energy healings.  It's about increasing your awareness of yourself as a Spirit; and your Spiritual abilities to communicate and create.  When you are not in communication with other living souls, you start to feel very unreal.  Isolation can drive you crazy, and make you sick.  You can create everything you need to keep your body happy, and feel alive in your body.  The aura readings, the energy healings, the developing your psychic abilities are all just means to an end.  And that end is to know yourself, love yourself, and to own your spiritual abilities to create and communicate.   So the students process much spiritual, emotional and personal growth in this class. 

None of the above mentioned goals are achievable unless you are in your body.  My mission is to get you into your body!  That’s how you will find your personal power; by focusing your attention and energy in your body.  You need to ground through your body into planet earth.  Most people are asleep and unconscious all of the time.  They walk around full of other people’s energy and thoughts and demands and expectations that they don’t know who they really are.  They think about who they think they are, but those are just thoughts.  Again, most of these thoughts are other people’s concepts of who you are, or who you should be, or what you should be doing.  Most of these expectations you picked up from your family when you were a little kid.  Thinking does not lead to enlightenment.  Being present, awake and experiencing life does.  So anyway, I get you into your body so you can experience your energy. So you can feel your energy.  So you can experience yourself as a spirit in a body.  That’s how you find your own spiritual freedom and truth.  What is spiritual freedom for you?  What is true for you?

The simplest, most useful and efficient way to be psychic is to be in your body! It's your body that is your sensitive receiver of energy. If you are not focused in your body, then you will not be able to pinpoint the psychic insights or subtle perceptions that your body is picking up on, much less be able to put it into words that will be helpful to someone. Everything we teach at Psychic Awakenings is about being in the body. You, the spirit of that body, can learn how to bring your presence in and inhabit your body! It doesn't matter what visualizations you use to access your clairvoyance, nor what your beliefs are, nor if you spin your chakras right-to-left or left-to-right. Do whatever works for you so that you can easily stay in and own your body and your personal space.  

To sum it up, at psychic school you will learn how to step into your personal power by being in your body.  You will then be able to create more satisfying relationships, careers and better health.  In addition to all this, you might even learn how to read an aura or two.

Warm holiday blessings to you,

What Color Is My Aura?

"What color is my aura?" is often the first question people ask when they come for a reading.  However, if you line up three psychics to look at your aura, you'll probably get three different answers!  That is because each reader "sees" you from their own perspective.  The color is not what is important, it's the communication and information that you receive that is important.  Besides, you can change the colors in your aura anytime you want!

The colors in your aura reflect the energy level where you are vibrating.  So the colors change depending on your mood, your attitudes and your beliefs.  The color of frustration is distinctly different from the color of joy.  Having judgmental beliefs will show different colors than being open-minded.  If you've just slammed your fingers in the doors, your aura will instantly erupt in a barrage of hot colors!  Everyone's colors are different.  Whereas your aura might get very red when you are angry, your friend's anger might show up as green.

You can deliberately decide to vibrate at a particular color.  You would want to do this to shift your mood, heal yourself or appear very responsible when you have a job interview.  Consciously "setting your energy" is a very useful psychic tool.  If you have a very busy day ahead of you, you can choose to vibrate at a color that is very calming for you.  Check in with yourself several times during the day to see if you are still vibrating at that color.  This is the same thing as setting your intention to stay calm, but using a color will have definite effect, especially for those who are more visually oriented.

Everyone often does set their color and vibration without being aware of it.  Women do it every time they get all dressed up to impress a date.  By the time they are dressed, have their make-up on and spritzed with perfume, their auras are all sparkly too!  But you can also make your aura sparkly without having to change your clothes (just in case you run into "him"or "her" at the supermarket!).

It is easy to practice setting the color of your aura.  Sit in a straight-backed chair, with your feet flat on the floor. Close your eyes and take make sure you are breathing.  Ground your energy by sending a strong beam of energy down into the center of the earth.  Next, see or feel your chosen color running up your legs and down the ground cord. See or feel this color running from the top of your head, down your back to your tailbone, then up the front of your body and out the top of your head. See it like a fountain out the top of your head and flowing down to fill up your aura.  At your throat, see the color flowing down your shoulders, down your arms and out your hands.  Try changing the tone or the intensity of the color and notice if it changes how your feel.  Explore running different colors, or alternating them, as they run through your body and space. See the colors as layers around your body.  Notice how each color affects your feelings and your consciousness. Then spend the rest of the day vibrating at your favorite color.

Setting your colors and energy vibration helps you to step into your personal power. You get to decide how you want to be in the world. You get to own your personal space and reality. You get to heal yourself. In addition to all that, you'll have beautiful colors in your aura too.

Let me know how it goes for you!

Psychic Tools: Not Merely a Visualization

There are people who come to Psychic Awakenings wanting to learn how to open up their psychic abilities; and there are people who come wanting to learn how to close down their abilities.  The former want to see, hear and feel more energy; and the latter already see, hear and feel energy too intensely. The funny thing is that the same psychic tools are used to help some people open up psychically, and others to close down psychically!

"What is a psychic tool?" you ask. A psychic tool is a visualization or intention used to consciously direct your energy. For example, when you are feeling scattered and unfocused, you can "ground" yourself by directing your energy down into the earth.  This is done by visualizing a grounding cord using an image of a tree trunk with roots that go down to the center of the earth.  At first it's just a visualization for most people.  Then they realize that they feel and act differently when they are grounded.  The next step is to use grounding in a more deliberate way to have more clarity or to change the energy of a situation. The real epiphanies happen when people realize that something that was "just a visualization" is now a powerful tool that they can use in their day to day life.

Grounding is the first of dozens of psychic tools that you can use to consciously create your life. If you have been feeling stuck in some area of your life or if you feel that life "just happens," psychic tools will help you to understand the power of your intention and attention.  You no longer have to be an unconscious victim to the vicissitudes of life.  

Whether you want to be more aware of psychic energies, or to not feel so bombarded by psychic energies, psychic tools will work for you!

The Universe blesses you every day!

In the Garden of Spiritual Growth

I profess to be a spiritual teacher. My purpose is to help others with their "spiritual growth." What does that mean? Sometimes I ponder that myself. Life seems to be so full of problems. We are always promising ourselves to become "better" people, but real change seems to be very difficult. How can you tell when you are really changing? How is it that you are different than you were before?

Spiritual growth is a process of becoming more aware of yourself as Spirit expressing through a body. As your awareness increases, you learn how to use your spiritual abilities to create your physical reality. You learn how to manifest the things you need to be physically comfortable like a warm house, food and clothing. You learn how to create right livelihood, relationships and abundance. You learn how to use your psychic abilities to read and interpret the energies around you, distinguishing what is your energy, and what is not your energy. You no longer have to be a victim to foreign energies overwhelming you. You learn that working with energy to create change takes much less effort than trying to control situations with force. You learn how to manage and enjoy the emotional levels of your body. You are able to sit still and look within yourself for your answers. These are some of the markers of spiritual growth as I have experienced them. I teach people all of these things because I love watching their eyes light up every time they realize, "Yes! I can do this! I can just be myself and do all of these things too."

As I said above, spiritual growth is a process on this earth. Things don't always go the way we think they should. Manifesting in the physical world is challenging because the energy is much denser. When the energy is heavier, things happen slowly. We often lose our clarity due to the emotional nature of our human bodies. Even with spiritual awareness, some of our lessons are painful. But we know that some pain is part of the process and that we are hopefully just cleaning our deeper levels of our awareness. To sum it up, spiritual growth is the process of remembering that you are Spirit, expressing your divine nature through your body, and manifesting peace and love in your life and in the life of others around you.

Exercise for Spiritual Awareness: Sit in a straight back chair with your feet flat on the ground. Close your eyes and take a deep breath to relax. Visualize a strong grounding cord of energy from your hips deep into the center of the earth. Let go of any expectations and put your attention about two or three inches behind your eyes. Without using thoughts, slowly shift your awareness among the following suggestions: First, be aware of the weight of your body in the chair; then move your awareness to your heart beating, your blood flowing and your breakfast digesting; next be aware of your life force energy that animates your body. Now be aware of your awareness. Expand your awareness to know that you are not your body, you are not your thoughts, your are not your problems, and you are not your emotions. Let these few moments of spiritual awareness and freedom be a healing for you.

Peaceful Blessings,

Madeline

Seniority and Your Creations

A really interesting person came in for a clairvoyant reading earlier this week. I looked at her aura and I could clearly see her work responsibilities, the books she was reading, her husband and kids, her bathroom remodel, the cookies she made for her son's classroom and the family cat who was overdue for its shots. There was one thing that I couldn't see and that was she, the spirit whose body it was. She was nowhere near her body. She was gone and her creations and responsibilities were running her life.

Actually, most of us have all got it real bad now- too much to do. Too much to keep up with. Too many commitments. Too many interests. Too much responsibility. Of course the one thing we don't have enough of is time. I catch myself thinking, "I've just got to finish this one thing, then I have to start project "X", and if I can at least start with project "Y" today, I'll feel like I'll be at a good stopping point for the day." We all know that feeling of never feeling caught up. The problem isn't that you don't have enough time. The real problem is that you have lost your space. Your aura and psychic space is filled up with your projects and your creations. On a body level, you feel smothered and overwhelmed. On a spiritual level, there's no room for you so you leave and it's like abandoning ship. Where do you go? Some people go into future time to deal with what is to come. Some people go into past time, trying to solve old problems. When you are not in your own space to take charge, then your creations run your life. You become busy with the next required action, or worse: putting out fires. The pressure to get things done causes one to turn down the feelings and go into "let's just get it done" mode. In psychic jargon, this is called "losing your seniority." Everything that you are doing has become more important than You.

When you are senior in your own space, your are the one making conscious decisions for how you want to expend your energy, time and other resources. Even if everything that you are doing are things that you want to be doing, sometimes it gets to the point where the costs exceed the benefits, or where you feel you have no choice in the matter but to carry on. This is stressful and always takes a toll. Of course, there are some long term goals that are worth the effort and stress. But when there is stress with no end or goal in sight, then any character-building benefits of long term hard work become lost under punishment. You, the Spirit, can release the stress, change your energy, and be present.

It isn't easy for the mind to let go of things into which you have put much of your time and energy. So if you aren't ready to take any physical actions to change the situation, here is an exercise to start to shift the energy and get your seniority back:

Sit in a straight-back chair, with your feet flat on the ground. Close your eyes and take a deep breath. Create, or imagine, a strong grounding cord of energy from your hips down into the center of the earth. Visualize, or just be aware of your aura around you. Let the energy all of your projects light up like little stars. Now create, imagine or visualize a cabinet with several drawers of various sized out in front of you. Allow the stars to be pulled out of your aura and be organized in the drawers. You can even put labels on the drawers. Keep your attention in your head, you don't have to follow the energy into a drawer! Now fill in the spaces where the stars were with your own Spiritual energy in the form of your favorite color. Stand up and stretch into your new space.

Enjoy Your Day,
