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

Spiritual Growth Happens in Your Physical Body

When you are a serious energy reader and worker, you have to take very good care of your body. Learning how use your clairvoyance and other psychic abilities puts your body through many spiritual growth periods as it adjusts to your rising energy levels. Our psychic students learn that they can pass through the growth periods gracefully, or not so gracefully. The difference lies in how well they treat their bodies.

When you do not take good care of your body, working with energy can be overwhelming. If your body is not getting its needs met, fear can become a major block to developing your psychic abilities.  Many people have told me that they do not mess around with anything psychic because they are afraid. Afraid of what they might find out, or afraid that something bad will happen to them.  This is the body's fear. The body is a concrete object and identifies with other concrete objects. Anything it cannot see or hear is foreign, unreal and scary for many bodies. 

You have to take care of your body for it to trust you. You have to give it what it needs to feel healthy, grounded and safe. For those of you who are on the other side of the spectrum, too sensitive and hoping to close down, it is especially crucial to take care of your physical body. It becomes unbearable for the body to constantly feel bombarded by other people's energy.

Here's a list of what your body needs to feel safe while you are opening up psychically:

1) Food, water, oxygen and sleep: No need to say more.

2) Personal space:  Clearly defined boundaries are necessary for protection from foreign energies.

3) Movement: Bodies need to move and pump the blood throughout the body for optimal health.

4) Sex: Survival of the species is a very deep body instinct that cannot be ignored by adults.  

5) Human touch: Physical touch provides connection with others. It also validates the body that it exists and has a right to be here.  Isolation results in mental illness.

You are here on this planet to learn how to bring your spiritual awareness into your physical body.You have to take responsibility for your body so that it can handle your spiritual energy vibration. If you want to be comfortable in your body, be nice to it and nurture it. You will not go anywhere without it.

Be happy, be kind, be grounded.

Buddha is the Reason for the Season

Well, actually, in the Christian world the saying is "Jesus is the reason for the season."  But Jesus, Buddha, Mohammed, the Dali Llama and others are all avatars: divine teachers or gods in human form.  All of these great souls came to earth to teach others how to be more aware of their own divinity, their own spiritual awareness. They incarnated to teach love and compassion.

Each of these deities' births is honored with a whole month leading up to, or surrounding, a sacred holiday.  Eid Milad-un-Nabi in the third month of the Islamic calendar honors the birth of Mohammad. The holiest Buddhist holiday, Saka Dawa, which occurs in the fourth Tibetan month, observes Buddha's birth, enlightenment and death. And December, of course, is full of advent and other celebrations leading up to Christmas, the most exalted Christian holiday.  I don't know about the cultural traditions of the other two religious holidays, but the deeper meaning of Christmas is greatly overshadowed  by merchants trying to make a living and by our American marketing traditions.

Everyone is aware of the superficial commercialism of the Christmas season. There are many expectations, some of which lead to disappointments. The disappointment is usually because of not feeling emotionally connected to other people. Without connection, the traditions are meaningless.  In order to feel connected to others, you must feel connected to yourself first since your external reality is a reflection of your internal reality.

One way to rediscover or recreate the meaning of Christmas, or any holy-day, is to take the time to rediscover yourself.  You, the Spirit who resides in your body.  Reconnect with yourself and find your own God or Goddess within.  This can be done by meditating, reading spiritual books, going on a nature retreat or even attending a religious service that resonates with you.  Go with the clear intent of creating meaning.  You can even ask for help... from Buddha, Mohammed or Jesus.

Blessings on your journey,
Madeline
