Monthly RoundUp - The Best of Psychic Awakenings December Blogs

Hello!  I am at the end of my 30-Day Blogging Challenge. At the beginning I really wondered how the heck I was going to come up with thirty blogs in thirty days.  BUT I DID IT!  My blogs were generally of two types: techniques for being psychic and information for enhancing your spiritual awareness. Listed here are links to the five posts that were the most read.

1) Everything Springs From Self Love

This post was far and away the most widely read. Self Love is the highest common denominator.

2) Psychic Awakenings Graduates Move On Up

Well! We know who looked at this one the most! But I've included it anyway because the graduates accomplished so very much spiritual growth. Some of them have already hung out their shingles to be of service to others.

3) Tarot the Intuitive Way

Learn to read tarot cards without spending hours memorizing meanings. Developing your own meanings leads to empowering readings.

4) What Color is My Aura?

The colors in your aura reflect your energetic vibration. You can use your colors to heal yourself.

5) What Will I Learn in Psychic School?

The Clairvoyant Awareness 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.

There you have it! I hope that each of the blog was beneficial for you in some way. Was there another post which is not listed above that really spoke to you? Please let me know if there is a specific topic about which you would like more information.

Take good care,

Your Most Precious Possession is Your Attention

Your most precious possession is your attention. Focusing your attention on something is giving it your energy, whether it be people, things, opportunities or problems. Whatever you give your energy to becomes more real for you. The energy you're giving it is what feeds it, so it grows.

From the moment we are born we focus our attention on the world around us. At first this is a good thing as we learn about the world and how things work. As we get older, more and more external things demand our attention. Parents and teachers are always saying, "Pay attention." TV and advertisements claim our attention non-verbally with images of people being sexy and having fun. Friends and work situations demand your attention to their problems. Even before we become adults, we are quite burned out with our energy going out to too many external demands.

By giving our attention and our energy away like this, we end up not even knowing ourselves.  Who we are, what we feel and why we are here. This is why self-care and meditation are crucial to our lives. You have to give your body attention and energy to stay physically healthy. You have to give your feelings attention to stay emotionally healthy. Equally important is paying attention to your spiritual life. Give energy to the things and activities that make you feel alive, enthused and connected to yourself and other people.

Here is a meditation for re-owning your attention and energy.  Sit in a straight-back chair with your feet flat on the ground. Close your eyes and take some deep breaths. Send a beam of energy from the base of your spine down to the center of the earth. Make it as wide as your hips and give it a strong attachment to the earth. Intend that you are pulling in your personal space, your aura, close around your body. Make your grounding into a vacuum hose and have it pull everyone else's energy out out your space. Anyone who has their attention on your can be sent down your grounding. You can also release any body tension and emotional energy down your grounding. Do this for several minutes until you feel your body relaxing.

Create, intend or visualize a golden sun above your head. Call back all of your energy and attention back from everything, everywhere, every person you've given it to. Spend several minutes doing this and watching your golden sun get bigger and brighter until it almost fills the room. Now let the golden sun energy flow down through your space and absorb it into your body. Fill up all the new spaces you created when you released everyone else's energy out of your space. When you feel full and complete, stand up or bend over and stretch your body.

Blessings for 2015 to all of you!

"How Do I Know That I'm Not Just Making It Up?"

"How do I know that I'm not just making it up?" is a question that every single one of my new students asks! When the students are first learning how to read, they are more concerned with the technical aspects of reading (as opposed to the spiritual aspects).  When they sit down for the first few readings, they feel like they don't have any idea about how to read. So they are all amazed that even the few things that they venture to say during a reading are validated by the readee.  

This is because it is already human nature to read other people. Most people do it unconsciously because they just haven't yet learned to be aware of doing it. Notice the next time you first meet someone, what you feel, think or just know about him or her. Usually the first feelings you get are about to how wide open the other person is towards interacting with you. You can feel if they are emitting a strong energy field, or a quieter one. Think back to any times when you did just know something about a person you just met, and you were surprised to find out that your "hunches" were right. 

At our readings, the students have permission to use their psychic and clairvoyant abilities. There is a strong agreement that being psychic is real. The new students sit alongside a more advanced reader so that there is no pressure on them to say anything at all.  Long before even sitting in the readings, the students learn how to set their energy centers, or chakras, at a level that is conducive for reading and communicating. 

When they use all of their psychic tools, then the information just comes naturally to them, without any effort at all. At first they don't know where the information is coming from, so they do feel like they are "just making it up."  But with validating feedback from the readees, they learn how to vibrate just right at the "sweet spot." That sweet spot is the vibration of being in spiritual communication with another soul. There's just no way you could fake that or make it all up.

Peace be with you,
Madeline

What Does Christmas Mean to You?

Today is Christmas day. I hope you find that this day has some kind of meaning for you. Like any other day of the year, the meaning of Christmas is the meaning that you give it. As children, our parents create Christmas for us by setting up activities and bringing us presents. Some adults are still waiting for others to create Christmas for them. They wait for others to bring them presents and create Christmas-y things to do. Then they are often disappointed.

So if you are disappointed with how you experience this day, it's time to take responsibility for yourself and look deeper within yourself.  Here's a psychic energy exercise to help you get started:

Sit in a straight-backed chair with your feet on the ground. Visualize, feel or deliberately send down a grounding beam of energy all the way to the center of the earth.  Give it roots and make sure the energy is flowing in a downwards direction. Using your clairvoyance, look around inside your personal space for any energy that is blocking you from having a meaningful Christmas.  

If you don't think you have any clairvoyance, then ask yourself, "Well, if I did have clairvoyance, what would I see?" You might see images of your family not enjoying Christmas. You might see just balls of energy that look dark and old. You might "hear" people telling you to not be so enthused. Or you might just feel the energy of disillusionment or punishment. 

Turn your ground cord into a vacuum and let it gently pull out anything you see, hear, feel or know. Let it pull it out and all the way down to the center of the earth. Now create or visualize a giant golden sun about your head. Fill that golden sun with pictures that you create. You can create pictures of spiritual fulfillment, prosperity, joy, gratitude, giving and receiving, feeling connected, etc.  Allow the golden sun energy to flow down through your space, and fill your aura with the pictures that you created. Absorb the energy into every cell of your body. Let it be a tremendous healing. Send some golden energy down your grounding also.  When you feel complete, stand up and stretch.

Everything in your life was created on an energy level first. It is more effective when you create consciously like this exercise demonstrates. I recommend that you use it every day of the year.  It may not feel very real at first. But all great talents are developed through daily practice.

Blessing for today and everyday.

Spiritual Communication: We Ain't No Muggles Here!

My blog yesterday was all about sending psychic "Hellos" out to people.  The word "psychic" also means "telepathic" or "spiritual." For me, the main purpose of doing psychic readings is to give spiritual hellos to people. "Hello! I see you inside that body." "Hello! I see what you are creating with your energy." "Hello! I see what is hindering your spiritual growth." "Hello! I see the filters that you look out through when you interpret your reality." 

Spiritual communication is different from all other communication. I teach my psychic students to communicate with neutrality, without judgement and without telling the readee that they need to be anything different than they are. When the clients receive a Hello in this way, they are able to take the information and make their own decisions. They are reminded that they too are a spirit. We don't teach them anything they don't know. We just remind them what they have forgotten! 

The readers also let the readees know that they (the readers) are not special. The readees are also sensitive, or they wouldn't have come in for a reading. The readees could just as easily be sitting on their side of the room giving readings to people. 

Giving psychic readings is not about impressing anyone with your psychic abilities. It's about spiritual communication.  A spiritual Hello can be the first step on the path to spiritual awareness. Spiritual awareness leads to spiritual freedom. This means freedom from limiting beliefs and other programming that controls your life. Releasing these beliefs gives you more freedom to make decisions that serve you. It also helps you to find your own truths of why you are here and what you are supposed to be doing.

If you would like to receive a spiritual Hello like this, you can register online for a reading from the clairvoyant students at www.PsychicAwakenings.com/registeronline.shtml.

Hello! Hello! Hello!

Thoughts: Silent But Powerful

In previous posts, I've written several times about sensitive people feeling bombarded. What is it exactly that is bombarding them?  Most often it is other people's thoughts. Thoughts are a powerful form of energy. Especially the thoughts that are super-charged by emotions such as anger and hatred.  Often, people send out bolts of energy without even attaching any thoughts to them.  Surely, you've been able to physically feel the anger of someone standing next to you. Very sensitive people may even walk away with a stomach or headache after absorbing someone else's anger.  

I learned about powerful thoughts first hand in the first meditation class that I took.  I was slouching on a couch feeling rather disaffected and thinking, "I don't like this teacher. Her clothes are really boring. I don't like her haircut either." All of the sudden, she turned to me and sharply scolded, "Stop throwing energy at me!"  I was totally dumbfounded. Mostly because I knew that I had had similar experiences all my life either thinking too loudly or being on the receptive end of other people's thought and emotions. But now I had a vocabulary for it and could be aware of it! 

This kind of communication also works for positive thoughts and emotions. Many years later I was eating dinner with some friends in a rather nice, but casual, restaurant. A group of about eight people came in and sat down about six feet away, in the middle of the room. I thought they had such wonderful energy that I sent a telepathic "Hello" over to them. The very first split second afterwards I had already let it go and forgot about it. The very next split second, they all looked up right at me with startled looks on their faces!  They had heard me! I was really shy in those days, and looked away quickly. But the man who seemed to be the one in charge would not stop looking at me until I finally looked up and smiled. 

I invite you to think about and remember similar experiences that you have had, both positive and negative. You can also explore this further by practicing sending out "Hello" to people. Look for the responses on people's faces or in their behavior. You can even send Hellos to people you know whom are not present at that moment.  Wait for the phone calls saying, "Hello! I hope this doesn't sound strange, but I had this sudden urge to call you."

Let me know what you discover!

Accelerate Your Spiritual Growth: Always Choose Love

The most important thing you can do to accelerate your spiritual growth is to always choose love.  This was brought home to me quite by accident recently. I was in the midst of the usual, minor bickering with my husband when I felt a quick flash of love for him. I remember thinking, "Quick though it was, that felt better than the bickering does."  So I immediately and deliberately evoked my love for my husband. I responded to everything he said in a loving way. The energy quickly changed (surprise! surprise!) and we both walked away feeling better. I don't think he noticed the difference, but I certainly did.

I have a big bug-a-boo around writing about my personal, internal experiences, but I have to admit that I know that I am now a different person. There are so many times during the day that I now remind myself to choose love: when I react critically to someone; when I start criticizing myself; when I feel unhappy about a situation; when I feel that I playing out old behaviors that don't serve me; when I feel that life isn't fair; when I just feel blah. In all of these cases I choose love, and it feels better.

By choosing love, you too can remember that others too are on a spiritual path,just like you. It will feel like you have a new mastery over your unconscious emotional and analytical reactions to situations. Choosing love gives you more choices about how to respond, instead of just reacting. Choosing love is empowering. Choosing love gives you, the Spirit, seniority over your body's analyzer and emotions.  Choosing love will give you expanded awareness of your spiritual abilities to create and to change anything and everything about your life.

Well, here is the WORLD ACCORDING TO ME: Choosing love is the meaning of life. We are playing on this planet to learn how to bring our spiritual awareness and gifts into the physical body. To use an old cliché, it's by choosing love that we get to experience heaven on earth!

Happy Winter Solstice!

Time to Release All the Debris in Your Aura

When I look at someone's aura, it often reminds me of the Peanuts character Pigpen. He walks around amid a cloud of swirling debris, which leaves a trail behind him. What is all this stuff that everyone is unknowingly carrying around with them? In most cases, it's the energy of other people's intentions for you, their feelings about you, and sometimes their problems that you have take upon yourself to fix.

Just as a balloon will stick to you because of static electricity, so does the very subtle energies that everyone sends out in the form of thoughts and emotions. One can clairvoyantly "see" this energy with their sixth chakra. As I said above, it often looks like swirling debris, with clumps of it stuck in various chakras. This debris is clutter and as such, it can get in you r way when you are trying to create something for yourself. When you are doubting yourself or invalidating yourself, it is usually other people's thoughts in your space. There are several different psychic tools for clearing this flotsam out of your space. Here is one of my favorites.

Energy Exercise:

Sit in a comfortable chair with a straight back, put your feet flat on the floor, and take a deep breath. Imagine that you can see the debris swirling around you. If you would like to know where it came from, just grab a piece and look on the back for a name. It's probably someone you know, but not always. Next, imagine that there is a giant vacuum down at the center of the earth, and the hose extends all the way up to you so that you can use it. Turn the vacuum on and let it suction the debris out of your space. You can also use the nook and cranny attachment to get in-between the layers of your aura. There is also the soft brush attachment for the days when you need a gentle cleaning.

Just four days til Xmas!

Manifestation: Is it Magic? No....and Yes!

Adults don't believe in magic.  So when I share stories about how I have manifested something I desired, some people look at me with a very funny look on their face.  It's a combination of disbelief, wanting to believe that it is possible in some way and knowing that I wouldn't be lying to them.

Manifestation is not about getting rich, finding Mr. or Mrs. Right, and living happily-ever-after. Instead, it is the process of examining your ingrained thoughts, beliefs and attitudes. As you may already know, it is impossible to change these things just by analytically deciding that you want to change.  But you can learn some very real energy tools that may help you to shift the core of some of your programming (i.e., beliefs you accepted at face value without question). 

Beginning students are amazed at themselves as their first attempts at manifesting work for them.  It takes only a few minutes to learn, but a lifetime to master. It's when you've reached a mastery level that other people perceive and label you as magical because they don't see all the work that you have put into accomplishing it. Just like an Olympic ice-skating performance seems effortless, magical and miraculous; with some practice, so can your life.

If you are interested in learning a few psychic manifestation tools yourself to experiment with, feel free to contact me.  You can make some profound changes, create some miracles for yourself, and leave other people wondering if it's magic!

Your Aura is a Reflection of Your Personal Space

Do you know someone whose presence fills up a room as soon as they enter?  These people have very large, open auras!  Expanding their aura to "own" the room is their way of being in control.  The auras of these people are quite dense and vibrant. This is also known as stage presence. It is a kind of energy that commands your attention.  In general these people thrive on attention and interaction.

It is also possible to have an open aura that is weak and just spread too thinly. You can tell when someone has an aura like this because he or she appears airy, spaced-out or incapable of focusing.  Their space is vulnerable to being invaded by other people and beings without bodies.  They have difficulty setting boundaries or even knowing themselves very well.  

People who are very private or guarded generally hold their auras in close to their bodies.  They may be uncomfortable opening up and sharing space with others.  They can be quite unnoticeable, either consciously or unconsciously.  

The degree to which one's aura is open or closed does not mean that he or she is more or less sensitive, psychic or spiritual.  Everyone has feelings and is sensitive in their own way. However, the health of your aura can correlate to your physical health.  People who are spacey and have weak auras with no clear boundaries generally have trouble focusing enough attention on taking care of themselves.  When their energy leaks out, then they will not have enough life force energy to maintain the body. 

Usually, your aura opens and closes automatically depending on the situation.  When you are around people with whom you are comfortable, your aura opens up.  In new or uncomfortable situations, it closes down.  But you can also deliberately decide how large or small you would like your aura.  The size of your aura also affects your emotional state and your awareness.  Here's an exercise for playing with your aura to find the most comfortable level for you.

Sit in a straight-back chair with both feet on the ground.  Close your eyes and take a deep breath. Send down a beam of energy to the center of the earth to ground yourself.  Use your intuition to see or feel the size of your aura around you.  Does it have any colors or textures?  Now envision, imagine or just intend that you are expanding your aura to be as large as the room.  Does your body or head feel different in any way?  Slowly keep expanding your aura until it is about one mile in diameter.  Do you feel more comfortable or uncomfortable as you do this?  What else do you notice about your energy as you do this?  

Now bring your aura in to be only about two or three inches out from your body.  What does this do to your awareness?  Do you feel more crowded or more focused?  Which size feels the most "natural" to you?  

Even though you may have no desire to be in control of a whole room of people, you can at least be in control of your own aura and personal space.  Practice opening and closing it in different situations and see what happens.  Let me know what you discover!

Warm wishes,

Madeline
