The Psychic Power Of Everyday Dowsing
Dowsing can be used in our daily lives for tracking down missing car keys, that have been absentmindedly misplaced, or finding lost jewelry and other specific objects. Dowsing is also great for locating a lost pet…or even a child playing hide-and-seek!
The origins of dowsing can be traced back thousands of years, before technology and satellites were there to help locating oil…or pyramids. All those years ago, country folk would use a ‘Y’ shaped tree branch or twig to find water wells, or hidden treasure. It is commonplace these days to dowse for water, auras or even land-mines.
The only reason dowsing is being considered to be a ‘psychic tool’ is because scientists haven’t been able to find a logical explanation for how dowsing works. This is also complicated by the fact that some dowsers have better results than others. Their accuracy often depends on how attuned the dowser is to their dowsing tool. Fine tuning to this art seems to come with experience.
When I begin a dowsing session, I set my intention as to what it is I want to uncover or find, and I ask for clear precise feedback. The feedback is given to me in the form of a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ response from my dowsing tool. I believe that my guides help to influence my higher self in creating muscle contractions along my arm and hand, to influence the movement of the particular dowsing tool being used.
Each of my pendulums and dowsing rods are programmed from the start, so I know which motion signals ‘yes’ or ‘no’. When I do a dowsing session it helps energetically to have something like a photo, or another object in my hand which belongs to the person who the question relates. This is known as psychometry.
Unfortunately, I’ve also discovered that asking a question which is emotionally charged, for example “does he love me or not’, doesn’t always work, because one’s emotions tend to influence the response, and therefore you tend to receive the preferred answer!
The Secret Power of Enlightened Beings
Enlightened beings feel powerful because they are allowing and connecting to an unlimited source of energy. Divine Energy is eternal, unlimited and available to all who seek it. It is continuously pouring forth. Just like the Sun, it has never stopped shining since the beginning of time.
Accessing more of the Divine Source is a choice we make every day and only possible if we are truly in alignment with spirit. Enlightened beings use all of the energy available to them to manifest the truth. The enlightened and spiritually awakened do not drag the veils of illusion into their daily reality.
Each and every time we make a healing change in our everyday reality, we free up energy that can be applied to seeking our spiritual truth instead. Imagine how powerful and limitless you can be if you choose to do this in your own life. This is true, ageless power, not the illusory power bought with money, status, petty human obsessions or material possessions. And that is what we should all be going after.
The central perception of enlightened humans is that they are never alone. If you live with the limiting belief that life is experienced with only the five physical senses and consists only of that which can be observed and measured in the material world, you will surely miss out on the miracles, blessings and divine guidance that is so freely available to each and every one of us.
Receiving an intuitive forewarning that prevents us from entering a dangerous situation is an example of divine guidance. These messages are from our spiritual essence and our inner guidance system to help us along our path in life.
Curiosity Killed The Cat
Actress Lynn Kellogg recently passed at the age of 77, due to complications of COVID-19. She passed on November 12th, 2020, under the same moon phase that she was born under, namely a Waning Cresent Moon.
I have very fond childhood memories of Ms Kellogg. I loved to watch her every single Saturday morning on the educational television show, Animals, Animals, Animals. In the series, she sang various songs about the animals, as well as the opening theme song. Kellogg is however most famous for her role as Sheila in the original Broadway production of Hair in 1968.
I was not aware of her passing, until only a few days ago, when I had a surprising spirit visitation from her. At first, I was not sure exactly who she was, but she used my most vivid memories of the kids’ television show to remind me. She then said she had messages for those she loved, and those who loved her.
The first thing that she said to me was to tell everyone I knew that “curiosity killed the cat.” She actually gave this message to me using an old Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) kids’ jingle that is deeply ingrained in my childhood memory. The PBS commercial featured a cat, a trash can, a kite and a lightning bolt, and the voiceover at the end said, “Curiosity, It’s Electrifying!” I often used to say it out loud when I was little girl.
I asked her the meaning of this unusual message. “Do not be so curious and restless in these times,” she showed me. “Do not go out unnecessarily in these difficult days. It is not worth endangering your life.” This made little sense to me at that moment, until I later found out that it was reported in the news that her husband says she contracted the novel coronavirus while attending a social gathering, at which most attendants did not wear masks.
Later that evening, I was supposed to go out with friends who invited me for card games, dinner and movie night, but because of Lynn Kellogg’s message, I decided not to go. I later heard that several of the guests tested positive for Covid-19 after that get-together. It was a bittersweet mediumship experience, but I was spared thanks to Ms Kellogg’s message.
My Childhood Psychic Awakening
Being gifted from an early age, I had lots of questions, and wanted specific, detailed answers about psychic phenomena, spirituality and the paranormal. This later became my norm to everything, and the world around me. The why’s and how’s continue to fascinate me in every aspect of my life.
My spirit guides have been very helpful over the years, as I found that humans can seldom answer my questions clearly, nor adequately. Over the years, my guides provided me with the stepping stones for my personal psychic development.
My guides assured me early on that they would never give me more than I could handle. They also made it clear that the truth of anything can always be confirmed by simply asking. I believed them, and each time I had an unusual sense or feeling, I asked for confirmation. I still do.
My first paranormal encounters and psychic experiences were with the animals. Their energy and communication is easier to understand, just like my guides, and they always communicate with unconditional love. This also led to a special bond with nature, and especially the trees. Soon after came the wind, and the water, their sounds so soothing and calm. As a child, I always experienced a deep, tranquil feeling of well-being, serenity and inner peace whenever I was outside in nature. I still do.
My next extra-sensory experiences were of premonitions and forebodings concerning the safety and well-being of others. At such a young age these presentiments were tricky to relay to adults. I would sense that someone was in danger, or shouldn’t go on a trip, or should not engage with a certain person who had dark energy around them. These apprehensions seemed to constantly haunt me. How do you share such warnings with grownups who will not listen, or take your seriously?
A Happy Ending To A Familiar Psychic Confession
It’s an all-too-familiar tale many professional psychics can tell. A classic, common, tragic tale. One of my clients ignored my advice and put her trust in the wrong man – and lost everything. “The man is not honest. Don’t send him money,” I cautioned her early on. “He’s using you.” But she was madly in love and threw all caution to the wind.
“Your warnings echoed in my head,” she told me later, once she ended up standing in front of the shambles that was her life. “I ignored your advice, didn’t want to hear the truth, and I got it all wrong,” she confessed.
Her story is rife with deceit, betrayal, and bad judgment – even worse than I could foresee when she first consulted me about her relationship with this man.
“A few months ago, my new fiancé decided to build a house for us in his homeland, and I gave him financial support for this project,” she explained. “Little by little, I had transferred all of my savings to him, until I had just enough money left to actually fly to him. I was curious about the vacation paradise that he called home, and that was soon to become my new home too, once we got married. But a disaster awaited me.”
“My future husband did not want me to go there yet, and after my arrival I soon understood why. He was already living in that house, the one he built for us with my money, but with his wife of many years! Yes, he is married. My world collapsed. I actually fell for a fraud, a total scam!”
“I wish I had listened to you Sabina. You warned me from the start,” she cried. “Don’t send him any money, he’s a fraud,’ you told me in no uncertain terms. You also told me that he was not being faithful, and to expect a nasty surprise once I go there.”
September 2020 Weekly Astrology Forecasts
September 7 – 13
We may not get much done on Monday, but if there is anything that just has to be completed, be sure to get to it on Tuesday, as the rest of the week will be a free-for-all!
Mars will go retrograde on Wednesday – a cycle that typically only happens once every two years. For the next two months it will be traveling backward, and being the planet of movement and action, we may all feel like we’re traveling in circles and unable to get any traction or make any headway.
Mars will be retracing its steps in Aries, the sign it rules, making it especially challenging for Aries and fire signs Leo and Sagittarius. It’s higher purpose is to give us the chance to go back and do things differently – quite appropriate, since it will be retrograde during the 2020 US Presidential Election, and won’t resume forward motion until November 13th.
Jupiter will turn direct on Saturday, ending its four-month retrograde cycle and bringing things back into balance on a personal level. It may take a few weeks for it to get ‘back on track,’ but once it does, we’ll find it easier to see the gifts in any blockages or delays Mars creates, as it begins its bi-annual retrograde cycle.
September 14 – 20
Except for Thursday’s new Moon in Virgo, things are pretty quiet on the astrological front this week, and should flow along pretty smoothly.
Monday’s Leo Moon will bring out our generous and gregarious sides, making for joyful interactions and heartfelt exchanges.
Tuesday and Wednesday the Moon travels through Virgo, making this the perfect time to attend detailed work, create a new budget, or make plans for a special upcoming event.
If you’ve been neglecting yourself physically or financially, the New Moon in Virgo will spur you into action to get things back on track, so starting a new class, exercise routine or scheduling a minor procedure will be easy under this influence.
The Moon dances through Libra on Friday and Saturday, casting a lovely and balanced tone to our movements. Romance will be in the air, and partnerships and friendships of all kinds will flourish.
Sunday’s Scorpio Moon will call us to go inward and relax to restore our energy and enjoy the wave of soulful and spiritual peace in the heavens.
September 21 – 27
The Sun will move into Libra on Tuesday, setting the stage for a month of loving, balanced and nurturing energy. Partnerships may grow stronger and those still looking for true love will have an open window from the Universe to meet their soulmates.
In fact, Monday’s Scorpio Moon is the perfect time to set your intentions for the month ahead, as its karmic nature can open doors that have been closed to you for years, so on the eve of the Sun’s move into Libra, take some time to meditate, write down your wishes or dreams. and then turn them over to the Universe for manifestation!
Thursday and Friday will be our most productive days of the week, so don’t worry if you can’t seem to get anything done until then, as you’ll make up for lost time in an instant.
The Moon will inspire us as it travels through Aquarius on Saturday and Sunday, spurring us to investigate new places, people, activities and creative ideas. Take advantage of this innovative cycle, as once Mercury moves into Scorpio on Sunday, our thoughts will turn inward to focus on more spiritual matters for the next few weeks.
September 28 – October 4
There are all kinds of activity happening in the heavens this week, with two planets going direct, one changing signs and a full Moon as the cherry on top! Saturn comes up first, as it turns direct on Monday after almost five months of retrograde motion. Once it gets some traction in a few weeks, earth signs (Capricorn, Virgo, Taurus) will finally experience some major breakthroughs, while the other signs of the zodiac will appreciate a return to discipline and balance that it brings. The Aries full Moon occurs on Thursday, and because it is also known as the Hunter Moon, it can often create the catalyst for new beginnings, provided we are finally ready to release the past and let go of things that are holding us back. This Full Moon calls for us to look into our hearts and minds and see what needs to be cleared out so that new opportunities can appear.
Venus moves into Virgo on Friday, and this can make the planet of love a little fussy! Try to keep an open mind and don’t dismiss anything because you don’t think you’ll like it. On an up note, Venus in Virgo can also bring out the humanitarian side of our natures, as well as an eye for detail, redecorating ideas and organizational projects.
The week will end with Pluto going direct, which will set the tone for social change and heightened awareness of the world around us over the next eight months.
The Mythical Mysteries Of Crows And Ravens
Crows and ravens are common in the superstitions of both the ancient Greeks and Romans. Both cultures considered these mysterious birds highly significant in the practice of augury, an ancient divination practice of interpreting omens or prophecies from the observed flight patterns of birds.
In the Greco-Roman world, the soothsayers, known as augers would predict future events by examining the behavior of birds, which was known as ‘taking the auspices.’ Crows and ravens were considered especially significant, both for their ominous black feathers, as well as their flight patterns and eerie behavior. It was believed that if a crow or raven flew in from the east or south, for example. It was considered an omen of good, positive fortune.
Ravens and crows mythology is also found in the native cultures of North America. In addition to being portrayed as tricksters, the intelligence of these birds is often a prominent feature in their characterization. In one Native American story, the raven is described as a shapeshifter who stole a box of light owned by the chief of Heaven, and flew away with it. The raven dropped the box, and light broke into many pieces, creating the stars, the Moon, and the Sun.
