Sitting On The Dock Of The Imaginary Bay
I am, for all intents and purposes, a transplanted ‘Islander’ who is far, far away from her home… many thousands of miles, in a culture that could not be more different than the one I was raised in, if it tried to be.
The differences in perspective are so very large when you come from a tiny island in the Caribbean. I tend to be much more laid back than, say, someone who may have been born and raised in a big city. I’m not always ‘understood’ by some who think I need to be a lot more of, well, I have never been able to figure that out exactly, what I should be ‘more’ of, since I love being me. And after all this time, I know how to be me. Continue reading
My Method Of Healing Balance
We all have the ability to help and to heal others, but for some of us it’s a calling we are drawn to in this lifetime.
I have studied and applied various healing techniques during my working career as a healer. I have always felt that no matter which technique we use, be it hands on healing, massage, or Reiki, healing actually comes ‘through’ us. When we open ourselves up as channels our spirit helpers can send healing energy through us that frequently creates powerful shifts within the patient. Often it is also to the disbelief of some medical practitioners.
I’ve created my own healing ‘blend’ from the various modalities I have studied, and I like to call this Healing Balance. Healing Balance works with particular access points into the body – the 7 major chakras and the minor chakras located mainly at the joints. These chakras or energy vortex centers are our connection with universal energy through which we access deep levels of healing. Continue reading
Goodbye My Mentor, Farewell My Friend
My mentor of many years passed away a couple of weeks ago. I hadn’t seen him in a few years and time does tend to move on. Sadly, cancer had taken its ugly toll. He was practically a household name on the West Coast of the USA, and had owned, for many years, indeed until the day he died, a leading chain of psychic stores.
Because it had been a while since I had seen him, the last thing in the world I would ever have expected actually happened. He passed away on a Monday. From the Thursday beforehand I had known something was up. I didn’t know what is was, I only knew to call my former manager and ask, “What in the world is wrong, I can feel it from here!” We were always very close, she and I. But she is a private soul and so she didn’t divulge any information about my mentor, although she was not surprised to hear from me. Continue reading
Going Back To School
At the beginning of this year I did not realize how much my life was going to change. So many times over the years I have told clients that you never know how life can change when a blinking of an eye. Well, that is exactly what happened to me too.
On the last Friday of February 2012 I lost my full time job and they made me retire. I was very shook up, because it was very unexpected and I gave them 27 years of dedicated service. Suddenly, I was on the side of the fence, where many of clients have been who call me to ask what is going to happen in their lives.
How was my life going to pan out? As a psychic we usually see with clarity for others, but not for ourselves. It was time to reflect on my future; what I needed to do and where I was going. I knew in my heart for the longest time that this day was going to come, and I needed help to see what was going to happen. I asked God to show me ways in my life that I never seen before and one thing that came up was I needed to go back to school. Continue reading
The Significance Of Numbers
There have been occasions when clients would call me and ask if I could predict the winning lottery numbers for them. Truth be told, if I had access to that kind of information I would not be doing psychic readings to make a living.
I believe numbers play a bigger part in our lives than we tend to realize. Lately, when I do psychic readings, I have started to see significant numbers. Since I use a normal deck of playing cards there is the numbers two through to ten, and at times I use the Aces as ‘one’ when I get a ‘flash’.
When I do a reading I often feel that my spirit guide is trying to tell me something specific, and when I look down at the cards I do see the numbers of the cards around the client’s spread. Then I read what the numbers are supposed to be. If we see a certain number over and over we need to pay attention. I feel that such numbers are trying to tell us something.
Numbers are an important part of our personal life history – from our birthdates to many other significant times and dates and even personal identification numbers. Continue reading
Searching For Beauty Under A Knife
I am often amazed by the amounts of money people spend on their appearance. Many people want so desperately to be beautiful. Some even go as far as cosmetic surgery, in order to be what they would deem attractive. I’m sorry, but nobody will ever be able to convince me to have surgery unless my life truly depended on it.
If only more people would realize that true beauty does not depend solely in your appearance. From what I have seen some of these so-called ‘beautiful’ people certainly are not very kind to the elderly or to children, neither are they gentle with animals. I’m not saying that taking care of yourself is a bad thing. But what is truly taking care of ourselves? In my life it means taking vitamins, getting adequate rest, meditating or praying, eating healthy and doing some exercise. Continue reading
2011: Doom, Gloom And Celebrity Gossip
The year 2011 has kicked off with yet another batch of psychic predictions from all over the globe. It has become an annual tradition to predict as much doom and gloom as possible, and this year the custom was once again upheld with much enthusiasm and zeal.
The usual depressing prophecies and upcoming disasters were numerous this year, coupled with some mindless trivia about celebrities and movie stars. Why? Because bad news and gossip sells. It is what most people like to hear and it is what most people like to fear. Scientific studies have shown that people prefer bad news in the media. They find it more interesting, respond to it more often and remember it much longer. They also pass the news on to others at a much faster rate. I guess it is in our nature, because knowing the bad news before everyone else might just give us a better shot at survival. Continue reading
