In Five Years Time ...


Today one of my psychic friends told me that in the future, I am going to work with kids. Hmmm. For some reason, I just don't see myself working with children. The thought isn't the least bit appealing! I said no to that one LOL 

She said it was pretty far down the road, and that there would come a time when I would really enjoy that type of work. We'll see. I'm also supposed to become a fulltime lightworker or healer, and strangely enough I find myself shirking away from that message whenever I hear it! I love healing, it's a cool hobby and at times I think I have magical powers (seriously when did palms start healing?) But can I make a living off healing? The idea is more than a little bit frightening! Then came the suggestion to do psychic readings over the phone to make money. OMG! I can't picture myself doing that. Argh!"

I finally understand those people who come to me for healings but tell me they "don't want to know about the future!" I have never had a message about the future, usually the readings suggest a certain action that could lead to a better outcome than the one that's in the cards now. I don't think it's useful to tell people what will happen tomorrow, and in my case it wasn't fun to hear it! We grow and change a lot over time, and what might be perfect for us in 5-10 years time will not necessary be appealing today. Life goes much smoother if we don't sweat the details, if we don't worry about what might or might not happen in the future and if we just go with the flow. That is what being centred is all about. That's not to say that we shouldn't make plans, but keep in mind that life throws curve balls and we have to learn to adapt. So who knows - I might find myself working with kids or with animals in the future. Hmmm, now that I think of it healing little cancer patients could be very rewarding, and I'm guessing they would be more receptive to the healing because they are children.

Anyhooo, we'll see where this goes.

This is going to be a post I will enjoy reading in 5 Year's Time.

Snow Chaos in London

My flight was due to leave today, I didn't even think to check the airline's website and went to Heathrow thinking that if I willed it to take off, it would. After all, I really need to be home for the holidays! I ignored all the signs, the 1st train to Heathrow was canceled just after I got to Paddington Station but I found a Heathrow Express service that got me there even faster. 

Unfortunately, when I got to Heathrow instead of being greeted by busy crowds, what I saw were hundreds of travelers camped out in aluminum foil to keep them warm. The trash hadn't been taken out and you could see candy wrappers and empty coffee cups everywhere. Not to mention a 40 person queu to buy a cup of coffee. It took me nearly an hour to find an airline exec who could give me a link to visit online. Only to find out that there are "no options available". 

So two hours and later I was back in London, dialing Delta's Customer Care Center over a plate of spaghetti carbonara.  I left the damn thing on hold in my pocket for 2 hours before hanging up.  I caught the next bus home, lugged my suitcase up 3 flights of stairs and collapsed on my bed. About an hour later I made up my mind to go for a walk in Kensington, didn't want to let the day be a complete waste and I need my dose of sunshine in the winter. My mood finally started to change for the better, when I was outside on the streets again, I had forgotten how lovely London looks in the snow.  I even got to thinking how lucky I am to be living in such a wonderful city. It's funny,  people always tell me that London is black and gloomy.  The sun does set very early in the winter, but as one of my guides pointed out, you can only see light in the dark. Think about a  stadium illuminated by cellphones, you wouldn't be able to see a thing if the concert was held in broad daylight. 

The same goes for my ability to see light, and I don't mean the kind that comes from the sun. A few weeks ago I was walking down Kensington Church Street after work, it was pitch black and even though there weren't any stars I could see and feel a silvery white light all around me.  It illuminated  the street and raised the city's vibration. One of the books I'm reading talks about how waves of light are flooding our universe. Today I saw that light in London, I was actually lucky to have had the day to myself, just walking around and absorbing the city.  I'm usually so preocupied with work, the commute, always rushing from one place to the next. For once I got my head out of the clouds and was present in the moment, noticing the bricks on the wall, slushing through ice water in my new rain boots and soaking in everything around me. Flight or no flight, it turned out to be a pretty good day.

The Early Days

If on Day 1 you'd asked me what I wanted to get out psychic school, I would have told you that I wanted to learn to hear voices so that I could talk to my spirit guides. I also had these crazy ideas about learning telepathy, astral travel and maybe predicting the future. I was pretty much interested in all those fun things we see in movies, in the back of my mind I was also hoping that telekinesis might prove to be real – and it hasn’t, if you’re wondering!

The novelty wore off and I started losing interest in quirky psychic powers that might help me win the lottery. I started asking questions about some of the tougher questions in life – the job, family, relationships, what decisions to make. It suddenly dawned on me that all of these fun psychic tools could actually help find the answers to these problems. I was still too much of a psychic rookie to see or hear my guides, so I went out and bought myself a quartz pendulum to get YES/NO answers out of my guides. 

After reading an article called "How To Train Your Pendulum" and I spent the better part of an evening trying to get it to swing one way for YES and the for NO.  My efforts reminded me of the hours I spent training the family dog not to pee in the house; you have to be very patient.  I started out by asking it to show me the sign for YES. The 1st few times it danced around on the chain, bouncing in every direction. After a few tries it finally moved in a slow but deliberate circle.  I was so shocked I almost dropped it; this was the 1st time that I saw something that couldn’t be in my imagination. I managed to get through 5-6 clockwise swings before freaking out and putting the pendulum back in its pouch.

When I finally worked up the courage to take it out, I went through the signs for NO & SILLY QUESTION. I got a lot of SILLY responses the first few times I used a pendulum, I was constantly asking questions that couldn’t be answered by a YES or a NO. I also asked things that my guides couldn’t possibly know – like what were other people thinking? After a while I started noticing that I usually got the answer I was expecting, I would ask a question an automatically jump to conclusions (forcing the outcome of the swing). Looking back on it, this was pretty funny but for a few weeks my pendulum played mind games on me.

I have resorted to writing questions on Post-Its, folding them up and then randomly pulling them out of a pile to get the answers. Once I've asked all the "blind questions" I'll start with the YES pile and open those up. More often than not the order in which they're opened also tells a story, almost like a personalized tarot reading. The NO pile can be repetitive but it still helps to get confirmation. The SILLY QUESTION pile is my favorite, if the question is phrased correctly you can pretty much dismiss this question because it's not something you should be worrying about, or trying to fix.

When's a Good Time to Talk?

I had a funny thing happen to me today, just had to mention it. We were sitting in a lecture on digital media and how Mac and Facebook are changing the world. Seriously, our kids will spend a ridiculous amount of time playing around with iPads and smart phones.

We were discussing the advertising value of Youtube - fascinating subject -  when a psychic thought hijacked my mind. For the past few weeks I  have been wondering what I can do to become a  productive medium and today I realized the importance of being clear and impartial during readings. A light bulb went on in my head and I tempted to start automatic writing on the spot.

It was a bit disconcerting, if I had to describe the experience I'd tell you that someone came to pull me out of class and was lecturing me in the hallway while the rest of the group stayed behind. I had one ear on the Youtube discussion and the other on this psychic revelation: don't jump to conclusions, don't try to smooth things over.  I actually had to ask my guides to come back later because it wasn't a good time, and only then could I disengage and go back to work.

Asking them to hold off for a few hours really worked, when I got home I pulled out a notebook and wrote it all down.  I think I managed to capture almost everything, but I will still try to  arrange quiet times to connect at least once a week (5-10 minutes?) They probably saw my receptive attitude as a chance to send the message, wonder how long they had been trying to get that one through!

How Do They See Us from the Other Side?

This is something I've wondered on more than one occasion: will family members be able to witness our accomplishments after they've passed on? And what about our Spirit Guides and Angels, how much of our daily lives are they privy to? Will they notice when we've failed a math test, or if we ran a red light?

I can't pretend to know the answer to this one, but I just read a quote that inspired me. Its from the book Ponder on This, a compilation of thoughts from one woman's spirit guide (a little too science-fiction for me, but still a good read). At one point he tells her: "I have watched you succeed and I have seen you fail, this I do through the pulsation of your light not in watching the detail of your daily living."

The thought of humans as light beings is comforting, what a shame that we haven't learned to see each other this way. I imagine swarms of light all over the planet, with dark patches in areas of intense pain and conflict. But there are beacons of light even in the darkest areas, and we each have what it takes to turn it on. The book went on to describe the process and to my surprise it wasn't through meditation, but through "high thinking, right living and loving activity. "

Our thoughts and actions can raise our vibration and make us better, brighter beings - the idea is so simple and so true. The past few months I've been focusing too much on meditation, as the year draws to a close it is time to think of habits to foster in the New Year. Is it cheesy to think that we can make the world a brighter place? In my mind I see them looking down at us from above, and marvelling at the sphere of light.

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.
