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.

Non-resistance, Neutrality and Amusement: Keys to Spiritual Readings

As I mentioned in yesterday's post, the real purpose of learning how to read is to help someone else on their spiritual path as well as have your own spiritual growth.  Non-resistance, neutrality and amusement are all vital keys for spiritual and psychic readings.  

When you are in resistance to your client, you certainly are not going to be very helpful to them. Whenever you don't like someone, it is never about them, it's about you. There is something about yourself that you don't want to admit, so you project it onto other people. This is true every time. Learning how to read in a safe environment, psychic students have lots of opportunities to notice when they are in resistance to a readee and then they can look deeper within to heal themselves. 

Neutrality is the opposite of judgment. Sitting in judgment is a form of resistance and another instance of projecting your own baggage onto another person. When you are projecting your own stuff, then you will see what you are projecting, and not see the readee's real energies.  The students learn that when they are having any kind of emotional reaction to the client that they have lost their neutrality.  More chances for the readers to heal themselves!

Amusement may be the most important key of all. Students may catch themselves several times during a reading resisting or judging the readee. Our jargon is that they have "matching pictures" or similar life experiences with the readee.  It's best to be amused when this happens, "Boy! This must be my long lost twin, separated at birth!" Then the readers know that that readee is exactly the right person for them to be doing a reading for today. 

Non-resistance, neutrality and amusement are only three of the many psychic tools necessary for doing excellent spiritual readings. If you would like to learn more, you know where to find us!

Have an fun-filled day!

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.

Your Personal Space is Your Sacred Space

Sacred, as define by  http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary:
1a: dedicated or set apart for the service or worship of a deity
1b: devoted exclusively to one service or use (as of a person or purpose)
2a: worthy of religious venerations: holy
2b: entitled to reverence and respect
3a: unassailable, inviolable
3b: highly valued and important

The first point of the Merriam-Webster definition above is "dedicated or set apart fro the service or worship of a deity." Your life-force energy which animates your body is your divinity, a part of God, Goddess, All-There-Is, Cosmic Consciousness.  You, the Spirit who resides in your body, are divine.

So is your personal space sacred to you? Do you use it in service of yourself?  This means keeping your aura and your body clear so that you can communicate with yourself and know yourself.  It means having a well-define boundary that is "unassailable and inviolable." In addition, it is necessary to keep yourself healthy and whole (i.e., holy).  Doing these things is what connects you into your personal power.  As a Spirit, you can be, do and have everything you desire.  One of the games on this planet is to bring your spiritual information into your body and learn how to be, do and have in the physical world.

To truly know yourself and your own truth, opinions and values, it is necessary to release everyone else's truths, opinions and values out of your space.  The first time that you do this, you may feel empty and lonely. This happened to me during a break-up of my first relationship. I walked for hours thinking over and over, "I have to start thinking for myself. I don't know what to think, but I have to start thinking for myself."

Your personal space is the sacred center of your own universe. You create and interpret your reality from your personal space. It is your birthright to set the rules of your space: who gets to enter and who is denied access.  Many people are unconscious of this and allow their space to be invaded by other people.  They also allow their energy to be scattered or siphoned off.

There are several things you can do to make your space sacred. Meditation, introspection, care of the body, self-nurturing, and learning tools for making energetic separations. Use these activities to fulfill your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual needs. Making these activities into meaningful rituals can help you through your spiritual growth as you turn your personal space into your sacred space.

Divinely yours,

One Hot Miracle

"A Book of Miracles," 1987, edited by Susan Hull Bostwick of the Deja Vue Book Company, is a collection of some of the psychic experiences of the students of the Berkeley Psychic Institute.  Here is  one of the amazing stories I would like to share with you from this book. 

--Madeline

"I was at the Berkeley Psychic Institute, sitting and running my energy when I had a premonition and heard a very tiny noise from one of the back rooms.  I looked up and saw a reflection of a man in the glass door.  I moved quickly, but not quickly enough, and so I didn't catch up with him until he reached the end of the driveway.  I yelled after him, "I hope you don't have anything that doesn't belong to you."  He turned and said, "No, man.  Check me if you want to, man, go ahead."  Although I kept seeing a picture of my wallet in my head, I didn't see any odd bulges when I looked at his body, and , being a small, blond woman, the thought of frisking such a large man didn't exactly appeal to me.

I went back inside and immediately checked my purse.  My wallet was gone.  This made me very angry.  So I say down, grounded my wallet, and filled it up with my gold energy and my ownership.  I saw that the wallet was growing very hot in his hands, and he was moving it from hand to hand as if it were burning him.  It made me laugh because I realized why stolen things are called "hot" -- it's because of all the owner's anger.  Now he was looking at the wallet very strangely, like "Oh-oh, what have I done?"  So I grounded him and communicated to his as a spirit.  I told him he could have the money but that he'd better give me back the wallet, identification, checks and credit cards.  I also saw in his aura that he had some fear pictures about voodoo.  I let him know that I knew all about voodoo and how to use it [I was from Trinidad].

When I told him to get my wallet back to me somehow, I thought perhaps he'd drop it in a bush, and that someone would find it and mail it to me.  So imagine my surprise when five minutes later I heard a very timid knock on the front door.  I opened it and there he was towering over me.

As he handed me my wallet I noticed his hands were shaking.  What a miracle!  A thief bringing back what he had stolen!  There really is no such thing as a victim!"   ---P.C.

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!
