Honor Your Most Magnificent Self
Taking time to experience the wonder of the final days of summer truly is medicine for the soul. My favorite summer activities include dipping my toes in a nearby lake or ocean, feeling the healing energy of the natural quartz sand against my skin, and finding renewal in the essence of the season.
Too often we move through our days and weeks completely engulfed in work, and the chatter of the bustling world. Our lives tend to be caught up in the motion of the world, with little time for self-care and centering.
Many of us awake in the mornings to the national news that often leaves us drained even before our day begins. We shower, have breakfast, down a cup of coffee, and anxiously show up for our families and our careers.
Many hours later, we return to our homes, where we are met with even more news via network and cable outlets, competing with their own spin on identical breaking stories. We reach for our smart phones or laptops and headlines scroll across our screens. When is enough truly enough?
In light of the endless social and environmental concerns permeating our planet, our species is globally experiencing stress like never before. But surely the Divine Presence within our amazing Universe would not leave us stranded on Planet Earth without the tools to transcend stress and what seems like utter chaos.
Spirit Says You Can’t Please Everyone
I have learned that people-pleasing is something that one simply cannot do. People must learn to do it for themselves. We cannot please everyone all of the time, and some people will never be satisfied anyway, no matter how much time, energy and love we offer them. They are simply not ever going to be happy, no matter what. Period.
I can think of various situations where one might feel the need to coddle and people-please those we love and care for, but in the end it will only bring us self dis-ease and stress.
For example, the child who tries to please and be there and do everything for the parent. Why is this a bad idea? Well, the parent may give up if their child tries to do everything for them. Especially if they are older and trying to find themselves and re-establish their own life, after taking care of everyone else their whole life.
Sometimes we can smother an ageing parent with kindness, by trying to do too much for them. When we do this, it makes them second guess their ability to do things for themselves. It may even cause them to worry, have anxiety, or become fearful of living.
It is good to be there for one’s elderly parents, however there is a line that can be crossed if we try and do too much and make them feel like they cannot do certain things anymore. Sure, if their driver’s license has been taken from them, for example, and they cannot see well anymore, then obviously driving them places makes sense. But, if they are still able to function normally, then let them!
Psychic Readings Are Not A Magic Wand!
My main responsibility as a psychic empath is to help my clients identify an overcome obstacles and energy blockages in their lives, and make empowering choices and decisions to manifest the abundant life of joy, success, happiness and fulfillment they truly deserve. This, however, does not mean that I am able to wave some sort of magic wand to fix their life.
Every psychic has their unique way to connect with the unseen realm, and perceive the energies of the past, present and future. In my experience, the best psychic readers are also people who have suffered much personal adversity, and faced many challenges in their own lives. We also tend to be keen, lifelong students, constantly diving into deeper knowledge of all the many mysteries of metaphysics and spiritual life design, to better support the dreams of others, and help them reach their goals.
Being a professional psychic brings a lot of responsibility with it. We have to make sure that you understand the messages and gain clarity on pursuing your goals. Sadly, some clients have unrealistic expectations, expecting us to wave a magic wand during a psychic reading to instantly fix their lives and relationships.
For example, I just had a call from a new client who refused to speak to me. She was also determined not to ask me any questions. “I can give you the name,” is all she said. I had no idea what to focus on first, or where to begin. “Do you have a question about this person,” I asked. Silence on the other end. I had only a few brief minutes to transform her life, and it was going to have to happen without her saying a word about it!
When A Psychic Reading Reveals The Inconvenient Truth
If you are going to ask me a direct question during a psychic reading, expect an honest, direct answer. Surely this is a fair expectation? And there is also such a thing as black and white answers, but they only exist in mathematical equations and some fields of science. Day-to-day life is, however, very different. And hearing what you need to hear, not what you want to hear, is the first step towards personal growth and healing.
Some psychic clients have ‘inner landmines’ that one might inadvertently sometimes set off by truthfully answering a ‘simple question,’ or making an honest observation. They may not be ready to tell themselves the truth of the matter, or they may have colored it over as to not feel judged or ashamed. This is common. As a person grows, new information about that particular matter may come to light. This will change that persons ‘truth’ in the moment.
Over the years, I have comforted and supported several psychic readers who were overwhelmed by challenging clients who were not ready to face the truth. Drained, crying, frustrated and exhausted from an energy battle they did not willingly engage in, they desperately reach out for comfort in the aftermath. As a professional psychic myself, I have also reached out for comfort in similar circumstances. We tend to reach out to those who do what we do, because all of us have a point of reference in that, and the shared experience to match.
Time To Follow Your Heart
The Covid-19 pandemic has been causing many of us to face some of our life issues that may not have come up otherwise, had we not been under so much stress, while isolated from external social support.
The times we are going through remind me a lot of what the United States went through after 9/11. People were scared, and our lives changed. Some of us questions our purpose and our future: our lifestyles, our goals, our dreams. Many homes overnight became fortresses of self-isolation. Air travel became an issue. Many things we took for granted changed literally overnight. Sound familiar?
At first it was a matter of fear, anxiety and self-preservation. Then the effect on our emotions, choices and attitudes kicked in. Many people became more humble, patient and kind. We were more unified than ever, similar to our mindset during World War II, when a nation came together with one goal: to protect and defend what they loved.
Back then, people planted gardens, and bought bonds to support the cause. Industry became a place where women could play a more significant role in manufacturing and engineering. All for one thing, and one thing only: to secure our freedom. Covid-19 has brought with it similar challenges and adversity. What remains to be seen is how we will choose to respond and what good might come from it. I believe we will ultimately beat this crisis in the same way we have done in the past, both as individuals and as a nation. We have done it before, and we will do it again.
Love Yourself, And Don’t Stop Believing
Recently, I had time to reflect on different aspects of my own life and where it was, or wasn’t going. I was starting to feel self-pity creeping up on me, and had to act to shift my energy out of that negative space, as it would trickle off into other areas of my life.
I was supposed to attend a celebration with family on a Wednesday, as well as a gathering with another group of relatives on the following Saturday. But I wasn’t prioritizing my own needs and well-being, and the Universe decided to put an end to my plans.
To cut a long story short, on the Wednesday, instead of going to the party, I landed in the local hospital emergency room, as my knee gave out and I could not walk. The Universe was telling me to rest – to sit down and get my priorities back in order.
My priorities have always been my children and grandchildren, and that hasn’t changed. However, my views on the recurring family drama, with regards who can go see who, and when, and where, and how, has significantly changed. I have decided to let go of always trying to keep the peace, and please everyone. I no longer wish to expose myself to the unnecessary stress and commotion of it all.
I let it go by simply asking my angels to deal on my behalf with all the stuff that I could no longer hold inside and carry, and take it off my shoulders. And yes, it took me a couple days to realize what was needed, but as soon as I did this, the need for walking with a cane started to disappear and the pain and swelling in my knee has been minimal the last couple of days.
The Lunar Eclipse, Two Orbs And A Message Of Support
Recently, on June 5th, I was relaxing, waiting for the sun to set, because a penumbral lunar eclipse was due to occur that evening. The Strawberry Full Moon was set to turn a shade darker during its maximum phase. Photographers around the world were preparing to capture images of this special event. The moon would have an unusual light in a way we do not see very often.
Many people had been texting and posting about the shift of energy that will happen with this special Full Moon. I was not taking it too seriously, but I did have my new camera handy, in the hope of capturing some cool images of my own. But I surprised at what happened!
I waited in the dark for the perfect moment to take some pictures, having made sure that the lens was clean and there were no other lights to cause flares or reflections. But when I looked at the result, not only did I see the moon, but there were also a small blue orb and a white orb of light captured in the image.
I was quite amazed. No, I thought, how is that possible? I took some more photos, and there it was again: the small white and blue orbs! This was my first time I have ever captured orbs in my photography. I was still considering the possibility that it was just a glitch caused by the moonlight, when I noticed something even more unusual in the picture. I could clearly see the outline of a ghostly figure. It is kind of like hitting the paranormal jackpot…when you capture the moon, two orbs, and a spirit entity all in one photo, and that during a significant lunar eclipse! It does not get more spooky than that.
