Interpreting Symbols

I am giving clairvoyant readings at school, it can be a lot of fun when you get past the stage fright. It took me a while to get started because I kept trying to force a dialogue with my spirit guides and they don't really communicate with me that way. I do a lot better with guided meditations and just keep an eye on all the images and scenes that go by. The clairvoyance comes easily when you relax, the tricky part is learning to interpret the message. 

For example, a couple weeks ago I saw my sitter traveling halfway across the world on a spiritual holiday. She was very excited to go on this journey and had sturdy walking boots to symbolize a challenging trek. In my meditation I saw her going to a temple in Asia, it was very peaceful and fulfilling for a few seconds and then a Samurai warrior appeared on the scene. His energy was combative, it seemed like he was ready for a battle and waiting for it to start. 

I tried to bring my mind back to the tranquility of the monks but it just went back to the Samurai, I felt like I should enjoy the tranquility of the monks but the aggressive Samurai spirit didn't let me. After a few minutes I gave in and just let the images switch back and forth between peace and war. I almost dismissed the struggle as a product of my imagination, but when I mentioned this to my sitter she confirmed that she actually felt this way in her life. 


Even during the reading my logical mind was still trying to convince her to consider a trip to Asia, or to take up a Buddhist practice. Looking back on it, the Asian backdrop had more to do with my own subconscious than with the message I was supposed to give her.  I spent an hour at the British Museum looking at Samurai swords and Buddhist sculptures last week, and just yesterday I bought a book by a Tibetan master. This scene served as a backdrop for the real messages: the inner struggle, the spiritual journey and expansiveness of the horizon.  All of these were based on feeling evoked by the images, not by the images themselves.

My 1st Psychic Development Class - 10 Years Ago!

In January of 2010, I signed up for my first clairvoyance workshop. Feeling curious but skeptical - would I be able to do any of the activities in the class description???    That skepticism disappeared by lunchtime when we finished the first exercise. The teacher put us in pairs and guided us through a meditation where we each visited the place where the other student lived.   We began by activating our Aura, and through it, our intuition .  The teacher then asked a series of questions: do they live in a city, what do you see in the street, how far from the neighbors, what color is the building, do you walk right through the front door into their home or is it a journey? The questions continued - how many bedrooms, how are they decorated, what is in the fridge, what is the view like? How many people live there? Do they have pets? What type of music do they listen to, etc.  When we came out of the meditation, the teacher told us to describe what...

Does sharing have to be selfless or painful?

One of the things that I have had to let go of is the idea that if we help someone, it has to be 100% altruistic - in order for the action to be good. I don’t know if this is an idea that I adopted in childhood seeing others hold up selflessness as good - “give till it hurts” etc. The world would be a much better place if we knew that it is always in our benefit to help others. We always get something in return, directly or indirectly 💛 🫶🏻 Research shows that kindness makes for a much healthier society. I read a book last year called Shadow, Self & Spirit on transpersonal (or collective) psychology. There was a chapter on the psychology of evil and violence. People are less likely to harm others if they experience some form of compassion in their lives, or if they believe that someone cares about them - even if it’s a public figure, a politician, a celeb, or a deity like Quan Yin. Or better yet, family members, friends, and strangers. Random acts...

Is Manifesting for Real?

A while ago I wrote a post asking if spirit guides are real - pointing out that we have to challenge our beliefs, and also how we interpret what happens to us. Let's not get stuck in an idea or a worldview.  So today I'm going to take this approach to manifesting - is it for real? I don't think manifesting is for real, nor should it be the main focus in our lives. And honestly, I say this despite evidence to the contrary in my own life, i.e. things that I've manifested.   My issue with manifesting is that it's focused on ourselves, and what we can get in the material world. Personally, I've had good results applying conventional methods to get ahead - with help from my angels and guides. But still, it took drive and ambition to find a good corporate job in London, years ago. That and focusing on my personal competencies, and on the soft skills that were needed. Putting myself out there, networking, knocking on doors. Real world activities. And luck, that is a...
