Thoughts On Depression
Clients sometimes call me regarding their own, or a loved one’s depression. Of course, I am not a medical practitioner and as a matter of course I always recommend that the caller seeks professional advice. However, a psychic reading can sometimes help the customer to unmask what might lie beneath their ‘blues’ from a spiritual perspective.
Lately, one cannot help but notice the media attention that mental health issues are being given here in Europe. Companies here are encouraged, for example, to acknowledge the mental health issues of their staff. The topic also receives much attention in the media, even with the help of celebrities and royalty.
Calming The Stormy Waters Of The Inner Child
I walk on the beach daily, near my home. In fact, I often walk multiple times a day. This is my meditative and contemplative time, to reflect and see what areas in my life I can improve or change, what areas are working well, and what shifts are going on.
In the morning, the water can be as smooth as glass. This represents true peace, clarity and reflection. In the afternoon, the water can have three-foot to ten-foot waves, and the beach space that was so abundant in the morning, is gone. This represents the turmoil that is happening in my life and on our planet, or just what comes and goes in the daily news.
In the evening, the water settles down. It’s not quite as glass-like as in the morning, however it has a small and calming wave. This represents all the cleansing that happened during the day and the cleansing that is to happen through the night, bringing me full circle to another calm again in the morning.
Healing The Inner Child
We often see you run from your pain and deny your suffering. You are an expert at ignoring and refusing to acknowledge the wounds stuffed deep in your heart. Or you hide behind your mantras and affirmations, wanting so badly to ‘feel better.’ We invite you instead to move deeply into your suffering, naming the pain and emotions, and then moving even deeper still into the black abyss of pain. It is time to release the unforgiveness that is no longer serving you.
Hold your inner child as they scream in agony from lifetimes of unexpressed suffering. When you allow yourself to fully experience this pain, you will begin to enjoy your opportunities of spiritual growth, instead of dreading them. Because turning toward your pain opens a portal of God’s love and grace. Turning toward your pain, instead of away, allows you to embrace all aspects of yourself – your successes along with your failures. The more you do this the brighter your light becomes, until eventually, your vibration is so high you begin to glow from the inside out.
Are Romantic Relationships Meant To Last Forever?
Will my relationship last forever? Will I be married? Are we meant to be together in this lifetime? These are the kind of question I often get when I am doing a relationship psychic reading.
In my family everyone stayed married forever. Divorce was not acceptable. I was the first of my siblings to get a divorce and was shunned because of my choice. My parents stayed married for nearly forty years, until my father’s death. Their marriage was an experiment in terror, as I use to observe how miserable they were staying together. I used to joke with them that they were the poster children as to why I should not get married! My two siblings also tied the knot, only to find themselves in unhappy marriages.
Seasonal Spiritual Cleaning
Summer is now fast approaching and I know it’s time to get my rubber gloves, dusting cloths and all purpose cleaner out for another good ‘spring cleaning.’ A few weeks back I had to do the whole deep cleaning thing around our cottage, as we opened it up for the summer season. And it wasn’t that long ago that I found myself doing a proper spring cleaning around my house. I actually like to do a ‘spring cleaning’ every few months, usually with the changing of every season.
During the spring cleaning at the house, I was moving furniture, dusting, vacuuming up dust bunnies that were embarrassingly bulky, and clearing out cobwebs from spots on the ceiling. And that was just the living room! My cottage had been closed up all winter, so I understood the layers of undisturbed dust there, but I couldn’t believe that it had only been a few months since my last deep clean at the house, yet somehow it now seemed to be covered with dust, dirt and cobwebs! Worse yet, I hadn’t even really noticed how awful it really was.
Rediscover Your Inner Child
We invite you to draw closer to your inner child. Draw closer to the youth that you once experienced in this physical form. For during that period in your life, there was much curiosity, much optimism and zest for living.
You were not weighted down by the demands of your life, by mortgages and financial responsibilities. There was a wild abandonment in your heart. A priceless sense of freedom in your soul. Wandering about your days, free to fill them as you chose. No obligations or commitments. Simply a beautiful state of presence. A beautiful state of oneness with nature.
The Purpose Of The Ego: A Wave In The Sea
Who are you? You are a wave. The very sound of rhythm—the very essence of sound. You are the first line drawn on the wall of the first cave. What do I mean? Your portrait, is what I mean. When you look into the mirror, do you see yourself or someone else? When you hear others talking, is it your voice or theirs? Is your voice your own?
These are the questions waves must ask. But what is a wave? A wave is a single expression of the collective vibration—a wave is a gathering of energy corresponding within the context of a rhythm. A wave is a beautiful motion, an elegant stroke—emerging from the fluid totality of all beingness, expressing for a brief moment the collective sound from its origin, before returning to it again. A wave is the telling and the trajectory of the soul. A wave is the shadow steeping out of the dark, and then being consumed back into it. This is you. How beautiful you are.
