Angels, Trumpets and Gold

My new psychic class began today! Our tutor Michelle came in with loads of Christmas Cards, postcards and photographs and told us to choose one we were drawn to. I spotted my picture even before she was done laying them on the table: a purple Christmas card with two lovely angels blowing their trumpets over a gold path. So cute I had to take a picture. We then went on to swapping readings on each other's cards. The messages were spot on, especially as I am new to the group. Have a look at the card: 



These messages came through in the readings: 
  • There's an overwhelming sense of purple, gold and silver which for spirituality. I pegged the gold for healing, and my tutor chipped in saying it was also Christ Consciousness. How awesome is that. The card feels so Christmassy to me. I love the fact that it has purple, gold and angels. 
  • One of my classmates saw the gold path and told me I was on my way; though where it ends isn't clear. I'm going in the right direction and the door at the end of the path leads to a new life. 
  • The trumpets represent an announcement coming up soon. 
  • The yellow and purple angel represents spirituality. The one with the red rim represents grounding in the physical world. They're equally prominent which means I'm spiritual and grounded. Apparently I'm not "off with the fairies."
  • Apparently I'm also into angelic energy. So much so that I'm thinking of working with angels in my career. Oh my gosh =)
  • The dark purple represents intuition and spirituality. Light purple represents compassion, a calm nature and happiness. 
  • I keep my life compartmentalised which is also true. My job sees one side of me, my healing circle and my family another. It recently dawned on me that I need to integrate better.  
  • For some reason, no one mentioned that lovely star. I think its guiding me and helped me find my way to that gold path. 

All in all an amazing start to the new term!

Psychic Student seeks Tutor/Class!

I was really looking forward to my new psychic development class. We were going to make our own runes, learn to read tea leaves and other fun stuff. It just so happens that this class has been cancelled. The back ups I had in mind have also been cancelled because there weren't enough students! There is one last class that I was hoping to get into if there are spaces left. 

If I can't get into an ongoing class I will have to step up my extra-curricular activities. Use it or lose it. Last term I was giving 15 minute readings in class, which I really enjoyed. Maybe I can keep this up with Skype readings or by practicing on friends. The new Angel Reading Hour should also give me a chance to practice. One of my former classmates is also organising a weekly intuitive circle so that could be a good alternative to enrolling in a proper class. 

That or a writing workshop would come in handy!

Resolutions for a Happy New Year

I don't have much to say this week but I still felt like blogging. Maybe it is therapeutic? So the holidays have come and gone and once again most of us are back to work. It's time for New Year's Resolutions. I have never really understood the concept of a resolution. If it is that important why wait until January? If you're going to diet, start today. If you want to make time for friends or family, start today. If it's worth it, start today! It doesn't matter if it's January or October. That being said, I have three habits that I want to build and they've become my New Year's Resolutions. They came to mind after I read Tolle's A New Earth over the holidays.  

These are my life changing habits  =)

  • Bring Awareness into my Life: I have a habit of getting lost in thoughts and daydreams. When I was in kindergarten my teachers would call out to me saying "Earth Calling Regina!" I could be sitting in my chair and my energy goes somewhere else. Though this can be fun in guided meditations, it's not the best way to live your life. This year I'm going to make a habit of living in the moment and being aware and available. 
  • I think I may need to work on my grounding; though I might need to center myself instead. This habit will be a mix of daily grounding and centring throughout the day. One of the reasons that I want to be grounded, centered and aware is that you are more likely to enjoy life when you're in it. I love living in London and I'm not sure how much longer I'll stay. Being grounded, centered and in the moment means I can enjoy it more. It's the only way to really experience life. 
  • Now moving on to the last resolution. I am going to enjoy everything I do this year. If not everything, then just about everything. Granted, it will be a lot easier now that I'm leaving my day job to do what I really love. But part of this habit also means getting on with the changes I've planned and not stressing over what will happen. Working towards a goal is good. Channeling your energy and drive into a goal is good. Stress is no help at all. I'm looking forward to an exciting year.

The Path of Non-Resistance

I was listening to The Beatles when Let It Be came up on the playlist. Funny thing is I often listen to tunes and hum along without paying attention to the words (I can hear songwriters groaning in the background). Today the lyrics struck a chord and I hit the rewind button, specifically when the song mentioned Mother Mary appearing and saying "Let it Be, Let it Be"

Initially I mistook Mother Mary for 'Mary Mother of Jesus' (being Catholic, you can see how I made that leap). But apparently, Paul McCartney's mom was named Mary and he dreamt of her. Wow. That gives it a whole new meaning - I was touched by the story.



Let It Be: A Powerful Message 

So it struck me how insightful this message is. What you resist persists. And the more we resist, the more it persists. I have heard this a million times but I don't know who gave birth to the idea. 

If the Beatles predate the Law of Attraction folks, they may be the groundbreakers (no, really!?!). Eckhart Tolle explores this topic in his book,  A New Earth, suggesting the best plan is to accept our troubles for what they are, and deal with unbearable ones by: 

  • Removing yourself from it, if humanly possible.
  • If not, accepting it for now, as this too shall pass ... 
Raging against the situation isn't a viable option because  it would only drain our personal energy. If we can't change  the situation or remove ourselves from it, acceptance is the easiest way to live with it. This isn’t to say we give up if we feel powerless, because that feeling can be an illusion. 

The difference between wanting to change it and being able to is the reason for Reinhold Niehbuhr's Serenity Prayer, which encourages to ask for clarity so that we can know the difference between those situations that we can and can't change. 

Earlier this year I felt stuck in a situation that I desperately wanted out of. I threw inner tantrums draining my energy and adding to my  stress. Thankfully, nothing lasts forever and the time came for me to move on. Hindsight having the benefit of 20/20 vision; I now know that I would have saved myself lots of stress by relaxing. 

Letting external circumstances determine our state of mind is akin to living on a roller coaster. In A New Earth, Tolle explains exactly how happiness is an inside job. He also teaches us how to create that bliss NOW. I highly recommend this book, if you haven't read it. For starters, it is helping me switch off the mental chatter. That in itself makes it so much easier to just let it be, let it be ...

The Story of Our Past Lives

I am reading a brilliant book called Past Lives, Present Miracles by Denise Linn. It's about using past life regression to identify blocks that might be stemming from other incarnations. For example, someone may have vowed to never love again after losing their husband or wife. Imagine what that would do to your relationships now. Others may have vows of poverty that limit their ability to manifest abundance and wealth in life. Having visibility of our past lives can be useful because it will help us lift blocks, and also identify strengths and talents that we may have no idea about. The past lives we are shown are relevant to what we experience now, as it would be overwhelming to see everything. Most of the past lives I'm sensing at the moment have to do with spirituality and healing. 

For example, I am convinced that I've had at least one life as a Tibetan  Monk or a Claustered Nun, like the character in the Sound of Music before she leaves to become a governess. I think I've also had lives as a scientist, a medicine woman, a lawyer, and not so pleasant lives during the witch trials and Inquisition. The life in the convent was fairly recent, and it came after several lifetimes where I was persecuted by my community for being a seer or a healer. This life in the convent would have been an attempt at spirituality away from prying eyes. A vow of silence also keeps you from saying anything that will land you in hot water. The solitude was sure to be overwhelming at times. I get the sense that it was a brief interlude before going back to the outside world. 

As a child, I had strong reactions to stories of Catholic saints that lived their entire adult lives in monasteries. Saint Terese is the first one that comes to mind, especially because she joined at a young age. I was horrified by the isolation and I remember thinking I didn't want to do that (again?). Funny thing is I do enjoy spending time alone writing and meditating, though I also need to socialise. I tend to alternate between the two. The message I got yesterday was that I can draw on that  inner peace and connection; taking it with me wherever I go. That short life in the convent gave me a tool that I can tap into now. The time for being quiet and discreet is over, especially as we now live in a day an age where you can be intuitive without being ridiculed or mocked. That's a gift too. 

Two years ago I thought of writing a novel that revolved around the protagonist's past lives.  I could use my own past lives to write this and self-heal while I'm at it. That would make for a nice journey of exploration, especially as so much of what we see in these types of readings is wrapped up in our imagination. The combination of emotions and clairvoyant images tell a story that clue us into what is happeneing with our subconscious. This can be really useful, whether it really does portray a past life or just a block that we're dealing with at the moment. I'm going to start writing these next year and see where it takes me.  It could also be fun to write past life stories for other people. Let's see where this goes.

The Language of the Pendulum


Over the past few years I have tried different tools to connect with my Higher Self. Some have been more trustworthy than others, including runes, angel cards, automatic writing and crystal pendulums. 
The latter can be least reliable; if you're not careful the pendulum will tell you what you want to hear.  I like to write questions on pieces of paper and fold them up in a pile before I start. It's important to keep a clear mind when you're writing the questions down, and when you're actually using the pendulum. The best approach is curiosity and neutral emotions. 


Next comes grounding, attuning and connecting to be sure I tune into high vibrational energies. The pendulum can be guileful, if you are not clear and centred  you will tune into your emotions instead of receiving accurate messages. When I'm ready, I go one by one and ask the pendulum to show me the answer. This approach yields three sets of answers: 

  • YES means whatever I'm asking about is aligned with my highest good. I will sometimes ask if a particular outcome is possible or probable and by what percentage. 
  • NO usually means what I'm asking about wouldn't be aligned with my highest good, it's not an option. Sometimes it also means that I shouldn't waste my time and energy on that. 
  • SILLY QUESTION comes up when the pendulum doesn't know the answer or when it can't be answered as it's been phrased (is it a yes/no question?). This doesn't come up as often. 

It can also be useful to include "Am I Asking the Right Question in the pile, as we have a tendency to get bogged down in details that aren't part of the big picture. If you get a NO to that question then the issues you're concerned about are not the ones that should be top of mind. Lately I've noticed that if you do ask a relevant question, the pendulum will  highlight it by saying YES to that and NO to everything else. This happened to me recently and I assumed that I need to put my energy and action into that scenario (do I pursue a particular path).

I like to ask the pendulum questions about what is real or possible now, rather than what will happen in the future. For example, three years ago I was looking for a new job at work and decided to inquire about potential vacancies in the wider marketing team. I ask about each brand team and when I got a YES for one brand, I asked about the individuals on that team. The pendulum told me that a particular person was leaving, and 2 days later I heard she'd quit to take a new job outside the company. She quit before I asked the pendulum, so it wasn't predicting the future. It gave me visibility of what was happening behind the scenes. This can be useful if you are trying to navigate a situation with incomplete information. The pendulum can give us direction, though fact-checking the information is a good idea. And obviously, don't stake your life on the answers.
