How To Deal With Toxic People
At times most of us have to deal with toxic people. It seems these days they are popping up everywhere in some way, shape or form. We do our best to understand them. And often we make excuses for why we continue to tolerate them. Year after year.
Fact is, some folks just aren’t going to change. No matter how much patience we give them. We may make up excuses for why we continue to share and hold space for them. But it is in vain.
Sometimes it takes a wake-up call from a doctor who tells us we suffer from stress-related illness, such as high blood pressure or anxiety, to make us realize that dis-ease does in fact cause disease.
I have done readings for several women who have told me they have serious health issues and they believe it is caused from the stress they have to endure from co-workers, or the people they have to live with, or those whom they are married to.
I have given lots of helpful advice to my clients in these matters, but I decided to step it up a notch and spend a month connecting with spirit and asking for a good list of items I can share in this blog that could maybe help you too.
Basic Psychic Protection
Do you often feel drained and overly tired, edgy, out of sorts, depressed, oppressed? Do you feel that there may be entities around you that wish to harm you? To wait until you need psychic protection is often when it is already too late. Prevention is better than cure. The following are some of the basic ways I protect myself before doing psychic readings.
I first clear my mind. I take deep, long breaths, exhaling any tension or negative thoughts or energies. Then, with my eyes still closed, I envision a beam of pure white Divine light, coming from Heaven through the top of my head. I visualize it flowing through my entire body and down into the ground, re-grounding me to the earth.
Next I envision myself surrounded by a bubble of pure white Divine light of protection. I say a prayer of protection at this time.
The Mystical Power Of Mirrors
I just had a debate with a colleague about using a mirror as a divination tool, also known as scrying. She was adamant that the only type of mirror which can be used for scrying is a black mirror, which is made of darkened, smoky glass. In my experience this is not necessarily true.
I explained to her that one evening, in a dimly-lit hotel room, whilst I was brushing my hair in the mirror, I saw to my left, via my peripheral vision, my grandfather sitting in the room’s armchair. He was smiling at me, and I remember this vision like it was yesterday.
I had only ever met my paternal grandfather twice, as a toddler, and I had almost no recollection of him at all, other than photos of him I was shown in later years. What I was told, on two occasions by psychics years later, is that he was always around me and that he would never allow any harm to come to me.
The Season To Restore Harmony And Balance
The Wheel of the Year is turning again after last month’s Autumn Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere and Spring Equinox in the Southern Hemisphere. One can now feel a shift in the air. In both of these seasons I usually feel this change in my body, along with emotions of hope and excitement.
One of my favorite movies to watch again as Autumn approaches is, You’ve Got Mail. Yes, I’m a romantic. To quote the film, “Don’t you love New York in the Fall? It makes me want to buy school supplies. I would send you a bouquet of newly-sharpened pencils if I knew your name and address. On the other hand, this not knowing has its charms.”
In Astrology, most of the planets are now direct again, or moving forward, with the exception of Uranus and Neptune, and we are clear of Mercury Retrograde until mid-November. And Mars is getting back up to speed;, helping with the forward movement.
Are You Juggling Too Much?
Choose carefully that which fills your day. Once that time is gone you never get it back, so make sure you are choosing wisely and not simply just living on default.
Multitasking is certainly an art, but there is a time to do it and a time not to do it. When you are exercising, listening to audiobooks or motivational podcasts is a good use of time. When you are spending time with loved ones, updating your social media account and checking emails is a poor use of time and actually steals the energy of those around you.
Again, as we have said, choose wisely, especially in terms of doing several things at once. Are you juggling too much? If you are like me you probably have a million things going on at once and are doing your best just trying to keep up with everything.
I Have Looked At Life From Both Sides Now – Part 1
I can truly say that I have looked at life from both sides now. It all begins the day I wake up in a hospital. I have some tubing connected to me. I am feeling so, so tired, but I am comfortable. I am wrapped up in a warm, white blanket. At first I don’t remember how I came to be here. But little by little my memory is returning.
It all happened so quickly. There was a routine visit to the doctor about three months ago. He did a complete examination and while he was pressing in the left area of my lower abdomen, I suddenly experienced intense pain. The whole area was extremely sensitive. So, he ordered some tests, and a sonogram was done.
The Gossip Jury
In letting something into your life you have to understand its value. This is the same with advice, or with people you get involved with. This also means when you have the ability to listen into someone’s life, you have an opinion, but it does not necessarily equate the truth.
In turning people on or off, you can count on one thing: hurt feelings… no matter how much harm they have done to you, or how much harm you have done to them. In a world where technology has empowered us to feel that have the ability to listen into others thoughts, let’s take a moment to truly listen to their feelings, or feel with them.
We do not need to be sociopaths through the ability to listen in and gossip. The power may be intoxicating for those that do so, but the control is false, and their needs exaggerated and self-centered. After all, they regurgitate just one point of view. And these poor listeners never tell you how they are doing… they only regurgitate what they think you are doing, as a form of entertainment, because they are feeling out of control.
