I arrived back in New Zealand on Saturday.  It was so wonderful to get back and although I left some great friends behind in Brisbane, I wasn’t sorry to leave.  I stayed with my brother on Saturday night and then went up to Blenheim to stay with my mother which is where I’m at right now.

I have been moving around for the last nine years of my life and have never spent more than ten months in one place.  I have lived in France, Spain, UK, Switzerland, Australia and New Zealand. I decided to move back to New Zealand for good and to commit to getting residency here because it is such a beautiful country and also because my family moved here several years ago (without me). I was at University in the UK at the time.

In order to get residency, in nine months time, I will need to train and work as a teacher, teaching secondary school kids.  It is expected to take me two years before I can get residency here and I am also bracing myself for the fact that it will cost an enormous amount of money to do, as I am an overseas student.

Arriving back in New Zealand, I experienced all kinds of different emotions – one of them was grief.  I felt a sense of loss and saying goodbye to an old way of life.  I have been a gypsy for several years – non-committal, always with a way out, free and with no ties.  Plus I have very mixed feelings about investing in a profession I’m not entirely sure I want to take up full-time long-term (especially as the professional psychic thing is going so well), but I know it is something I must do if I am going to get to live here long-term and actually put down some roots.

This also means an entirely different way of doing business for me.  Much of my time is spent doing readings with people one-on-one. It is clear that realistically I will not be able to work more than a couple of hours a day on my business in 2011 so this year I will be changing the way I spend my time and work with clients.

For some months now I have been working on a product ‘Be Your Own Psychic’ – teaching people to read for themselves and tune into spirit.  The material in this course I have been teaching to people for the last six months. It was due to launch in December but I overestimated my capacity to move to Australia, set up home there and finish the product at the same time, so it remained unfinished.

I was planning to make the product into something you buy and then work at, at your own pace, with no added support.

I reconsidered that format and decided that what I enjoy most is to have contact with people and help them progress, so the product will be a membership site, which means you pay over a period of 14 weeks and get a lesson once a week, with homework.  The site will be text and audio, with guided meditations to help you in each chapter.  You can also pay in one go, get all the material at once and work at a faster pace if you choose.  I will price it initially at $200, paid over the course of 14 weeks.  It is due to launch on 4th April.

The site will have a forum where I will answer questions personally and some support calls where you can phone in once every two weeks to ask any questions you have.

The content of the course will be as follows:

Week One: Introduction to your unique psychic abilities – laying the groundwork – knowing what you can ask and what you may not get answers to.

Week Two: The first essential key to connecting with spirit: raising vibration – How to raise your vibration temporarily to ‘tune in’.

Week Three: Becoming acquainted with all the ways in which spirit talks to you, establishing what your unique gifts are and eliminating unrealistic expectations of how your higher self and spirit guides communicate with you.

Week Four:  How to awaken the four clairs – clairvoyance, clairaudience, clairsentience and claircognizance.

Week Five:  The second essential key to connecting with spirit: stillness – how to become still enough to connect with your spirit guides and higher self – an attunement to stillness to eliminate distractions (you will love this if your mind is very chatty).

Week Six: How to open your energy field (chakras) to receive information, in this week we clear out any blocks to your intuition and learn how to close chakras – with guided meditation.

Week Seven:  We put all the previous weeks’ work together and you learn a process that professional psychics use to tune into their own spirit guides and clients’ spirit guides – with a guided meditation.

Week Eight: The answers you get from your guides are only as good as the questions you ask!  Why you have to ask questions – How to ask questions of your spirit guides and higher self that actually get answers; how to word your questions appropriately.

Week Nine: A process that WORKS for using your intuition to make wise decisions and choices

Week Ten: Finding out your own life purpose without the help of a psychic.

Week Eleven: How to accurately and ethically read other people to gauge their intentions, integrity and character.

Week Twelve: Troubleshooting: how to tell intuitive information from your ego, logic or imagination.  How to overcome a fear of spirits.  How to overcome self-doubt and a fear of being judged as ‘crazy’ for being interested in psychic stuff!

Week Thirteen: Reading for other people – testing out your abilities on friends and family.

Week Fourteen: Further ways of connecting with spirit – including automatic writing, talking to your chakras, intuitive brainstorming – in case you wanted more ways!

I will be offering a free 20 minute private consultation for the first 10 people who sign up for the membership site.  If you would like to be one of those ten people, please send me your name and email address via the contact form and as soon as the membership site opens, you will get an email notifying you straight away.

How this Product Came About

I have to say that most of the material in this course is not mine.  That doesn’t mean I stole it.  I actually channelled it from other peoples’ spirit guides.  You may know that I have been teaching the 6 week spirit guides coaching course for the last six months.   To date I have worked with dozens of people and of course, worked with dozens of spirit guides, who, through me, teach the client to connect to their guides and higher self.

That’s right!  I sit down with the client once a week, connect to their spirit guides and download a lesson for the client to do, with homework.

After a while, I began to notice the same lessons coming up over and over.  Everyone struggled with the same things.  Themes emerged.  And that is how this product came about.  I am really proud of it as I believe that it tackles the nuts and bolts, the “How-to” of psychic development in a really detailed, structured, thorough way, that gets results and makes sense. I have also made it as easy and as ‘down-to-earth’ as possible, thanks to everyone’s spirit guides!

As always please leave a comment if you have any questions and don’t forget to send me your email via the contact form if you want to be on the early-bird list of people who get a free consultation.

PS – If you would like to become an affiliate of my membership site, I will be offering a 50% commission (that’s $100) for each time you recommend it to family, friends and clients (and make a sale), so if you have a popular blog, or you work with clients who want to know how to tune into their own spiritual guidance and you are interested in recommending it, please get in touch.

How often have you heard these things:

All the money you want can be yours for the taking

You can create anything that you want

Your life is meant to be amazing RIGHT NOW

You can feel good all the time

If you read lots of self-help books or books on positive psychology, you have probably heard a lot of this stuff.

Think positively, and it will affect your world in a positive way.

This is true AND not true.  Depending on who you are (& where you’re at).  Here’s why:

There are two forces in your world.

One is the force of your perception and consciousness.  Once you start viewing things and people through a positive lens, your life and mood can truly change for the better, if you have been in a negative way of thinking and you didn’t need to be.

The other force is one I come into contact with regularly through readings.  Some people call it karma.  Some people call it fate or destiny.  Some people call it the life plan than you created for yourself before you incarnated, or as you go along. The one that’s for your greatest good and expansion in the long run.

There is a plan to your life.  This I believe from my own life path so far and from the information I pass on to clients in readings.  If you watch out along the way, you can see little winks from your spirit as you travel it.

Without wanting to sound deterministic or like things are out of our control, I am saying that these two forces create your world.  One is the force that throws you the lemons and the other is the force that makes lemonade out of the lemons if you choose to.

The force that throws lemons is not necessarily going to cause everything that happens in your life. And conversely, if the force that throws you lemons gives you a misfortune, it isn’t necessarily because you attracted that through negative thinking.  But it is usually that you chose that on some level, for some reason.

So, for some people, at certain times in their life, it would be wrong to say that:

All the money you want can be yours for the taking

You can create anything that you want

Your life is meant to be amazing RIGHT NOW

You can feel good all the time

For some people – this is just not true.  And those people will feel like others are bullshitting them when they hear this stuff.  And they’d be right.

Some people choose a life path where they overcome massive obstacles and experience periods of deep pain and depression.

Some people have a life path where abundance does not begin to flow for them until they reach their early forties.

Some people have a life path where they get a shitty beginning but then it gets better as they mature.  For some people it’s the reverse.

And I’m not saying this because I have limiting beliefs or because the spirit guides who give me information like to make people feel bad. No-one can deny that an average lifetime for an average human being has ups and downs.

All of this is for a reason.

For your higher self or spirit, the thing that usually matters most, is growth.

Some people intentionally choose nasty experiences that teach them something important for their expansion.  Sometimes those experiences can be super challenging.  I have heard from several sources (some out of body and some incarnated!!) that being incarnated on Earth is one of the greatest of spiritual challenges that we can undertake – a kind of spiritual Everest.

Because of this, at times, abundance, happiness and joy isn’t always going to flow RIGHT NOW.  In fact, according to my experiences reading for people, it’s not our divine right to have, 24/7, 365 days of the year, as we are taught by some teachers in the self-help industry.

We may be longing for abundance while really we are getting a lesson for our highest good in the importance of becoming a more grounded or balanced person in various areas of life.  And things won’t flow until we become that person and learn that lesson.  And then that expansion helps us to create more abundance (and other good things) later on.

I used to offer abundance reading for people to find out what their blocks were to creating more abundance in their life.  I loved doing that reading for people, it was always interesting.  However, I soon got the message that for some people, abundance was not flowing because they were in the middle of a learning experience where they had to do some things long-term over a period of years, in order for it to flow.

I stopped doing that reading in the end because the client was wanting abundance NOW and the universe wasn’t going to deliver it any time soon because their higher self wanted them to learn something (like courage or self-love) and wanted them to expand into something bigger and stronger.  It was not pleasant sometimes explaining that to people.

And it was a bit disillusioning for people because we so often think that we have a right to all these great things at all times in our life, because other people do.

But not everyone is walking the same path.

And that is why self-help/law of attraction messages like:

All the money you want can be yours for the taking

You can create anything that you want

Your life is meant to be amazing RIGHT NOW

You can feel good all the time

Are true or not true, depending on who you are and what kind of period you’re going through in your life, and depending on whether that force we called fate/karma/your life plan is throwing a spanner in the works for you.

We all grow at different paces and we all choose different experiences, before we even get here.

Some of what the self-help industry advocates does not honour that, which is why it sometimes will not work for you.

To temper this, I want to say that:

On the other hand, knowing WHEN to use positive thinking, making things happen through the force of your will and the law of attraction is a great thing.  It has its place of course.

This is a tricky subject for me to write about because I know that it might be a controversial one in the psychic/Soul Realignment community.

Just to warn you, this article will probably only be of interest to you if you have been labelled a ‘negative soul’ or if you are a Soul Realignment practitioner or a professional psychic.

In the last couple of weeks, I did readings for two clients who had booked a reading partly because they’d been told by a psychic (a soul realignment practitioner) that they were negative souls.  This caused a lot of distress to the two people involved and they wanted to know if it were really true.

Yet, the funny thing is – when I tuned into these people (their akashic record and their energy field), I didn’t find negative people at all.  I found ordinary, essentially positive souls with some negative ‘stuff’ in their energy fields.

This is not the only two times this has happened.  I have come across others who have been labelled negative souls when I found them to be positive.

This time it happened, it got me annoyed.  I thought:

What could be more damning and awful to hear in a psychic reading?

You’re negative; on a path of darkness; basically evil.

These days, if someone said such a thing to me I would reject it, but at my more vulnerable periods (when I was in my late teens), it would have disturbed me to hear such a thing and it would have had me questioning my own identity to some degree.

So that’s why I am writing about it.

If you’re not familiar with this particular psychic training (Soul Realignment), you may be thinking…

Wait, when did psychics start telling people they’re negative souls?!

Soul Realignment as a training for psychics teaches you to check up on souls who come into you for a reading.  There are two types of soul – negative souls and positive souls.  Negative souls are souls who (and this is a really loose definition here) are like energy vampires – they drain other people’s energy.  According to Soul Realignment, this is a choice they made on the soul level.  They don’t receive their energy from Source, they receive it from other people.  And they do this through negative behaviour – complaining, playing the victim, scaring other people, making other people think they have power over them, etc etc.  I’m sure there are many more ways to drain other people that you can think of.

Soul Realignment teaches you to check up on whether a soul is negative or positive because you can’t do healing work for ‘negative souls’ – they are not interested in it, instead they are only interested in draining energy from other people.

Why it is very unlikely that a soul realignment practitioner would come across a truly negative soul in the first place…

The people who are truly on a path of darkness would never come in for a Soul Realignment reading.

In fact, the people who are truly on a path of darkness probably see themselves as healers and do-gooders (but it’s just that other people can’t see it) and that is an attitude that would never take to getting assistance or healing. Take Hitler for instance – I’m sure he truly thought he was doing Germany a favour at the time, yet he will be remembered by most as a truly evil person. If you’re worried you’re a negative soul, you won’t be one, because truly negative people won’t care about the effect they have on others.

How come two psychics see two clients so differently?

I believe that this can happen when two practitioners have two different beliefs about negativity in the world.

If you believe that some people are evil and with bad intentions, when you come across someone who energetically (AT THE MOMENT) matches a profile you have been taught (and buy into) for negative people who drain other people’s energy, that person may come up as a negative soul for you in a reading.

On the other hand, my belief is different.  I don’t believe that the people (especially not the people who come in for spiritual healing) are ever evil so instead I see people with lots of stubborn negativity in their energy field. Those types of people who are invested in their negativity to a higher degree than other people and they may drain others because of it (and this a spectrum I believe – some can be really draining, others a little draining.)

Other possible reasons why a psychic ‘gets’ that someone is a negative soul:

A Soul Realignment practitioner in unusual cases may see someone as a negative soul because of their own issues with negative people.  If a practitioner has lots of personal issues and vendettas against ‘negative people’ who did them wrong, that can affect their accuracy as a psychic because they’ll have their own agenda that they’re imposing on the client.  For example, when they see a client whose energy reminds them of people in their life who were horrible to them, they may feel a need to go on a witch-hunt against those people (for their own personal reasons).  A psychic like that will really hand it to a client, blame them and judge them when they show up with negativity in their energy field.  I currently know of one person who is doing that in the wider psychic community, so it happens.

Secondly, someone you dislike may also come up as a negative soul in your soul realignment frame of reference if you’re a practitioner.  Is that person evil/negative with no going back?  Not necessarily (and probably not).  It just means TO YOU, that person is a negative influence or factor in your life, because of things that have happened between you; because of the way you view them.  Karmically, someone can be a real pain in the ass in your life to help you to learn something (as annoying as that sounds).  Karmically speaking, we call that person ‘your negative’. You can also have ‘a karmic positive’ in your relationship with a person.  And someone else may have an entirely different relationship to that person than you do.  They may think they’re the best thing since sliced bread/a big pain in the ass.  It’s all about perception. 

So, it is my belief that this negative/positive distinction is not so black and white as we think.  If you look below the surface, you will always see more layers of complexity.  One of my teachers told me, on Earth you see things in black and white, where the angels see it in shades of grey.  I agree with that.  Your perception is where you look and where you decide to stop seeing the complexity.  There is always more information to be had, but of course it doesn’t always serve us to be continually looking for another layer of understanding because then we’d never do anything in our lives!

So if you are a client who has been told you’re a negative soul by a Soul Realignment practitioner (and by my experience it seems there are a few of them around), ask yourself:

Does that message resonate with me?

Have I been acting very negatively or draining other people?  Have my friends stopped calling because I always complain?

What can I do about the negativity?

If you don’t care enough to do anything about it, that’s a valid choice and that’s probably why you got called a negative soul in the first place (although I believe that’s a temporary state if you let it be).

On the other hand, if the message doesn’t resonate with you one bit, ask yourself how you feel about the psychic.  Did the psychic ever resonate with you?  Or did they give you a bad feeling from the start?  Use your own instincts.

I am not slagging off Soul Realignment here or other Soul Realignment practitioners – it’s my background, I love the course and I know many Soul Realignment practitioners who do a great job.  The only thing I don’t agree with (respectfully) is that people who are truly, absolutely negative souls on a path of darkness consult with psychics.  And I don’t agree with practitioners who insist on telling their clients they’re negative souls with no going back. I suggest they check their own frame of references and prejudices before they impose that damning view on the client. I personally would reframe those findings in a way that shows the client their current energetic state and encourages the client to create change if they want to.

This is my opinion based upon my experiences with people and my experiences with the clients I’ve read for so far – (on a side note, I realized I read for my 500th client just recently – woohoo! )

Ok, I admit this is going to be a self-absorbed rant and temper tantrum. But there are some juicy bits in there towards the end (including things I’ve screwed up because everyone loves reading about that).  But it’s a very necessary rant and I need to have it right here, right now, on my blog.

*****

Recently I found myself not wanting to write anymore for the first time in a long time.  Maybe you didn’t notice but I haven’t been blogging so much.

That was weird for me because writing is one of the things I love to do most.

The reason why I no longer wanted to write was because…

I’d outgrown my old website; my old archives; the way it looks; the things I write about.

The mysterious-looking/bitchy-looking/psychic-looking  (according to the various email feedback I get) – woman on the banner that you see at the top no longer looks like me and doesn’t feel like me.

The way I wrote in November is no longer my voice.

Four months ago, in November of last year, that WAS my voice.

Then I moved to Australia (in November).

Since I got here, I have had the most unbelievably bizarre and growth-inducing set of experiences.  This has without doubt been the most challenging, strange and unsettling period of my life so far.  And I say that as someone who grew up as a teenager in a household that was full of all sorts of weird (and at certain times, traumatic) things happening.

The things that have happened here in Australia have woken me up and pissed me off.

At some point I will probably write about some of the weird experiences I have had here (there are enough to fill a book and if I tell the truth about some of the weird people I have met I will probably get sued!)  But for now I’ll just say that it is a grounding, waking-up, getting-REAL process I have gone through.

That means I went from being a spiritual flake to realizing, oopsy, I’m human too – I better get a life!

Maybe you have had something similar happen to you – especially if you’re young and a professional psychic too.

It happens.  I mean, before I became a professional psychic, I spent my life denying the spiritual side of me so much and pretending to everyone that I wasn’t psychic.

Of course, when I finally ‘came out’ as a psychic and started my business, I swung the other way and I was SO spiritual and ungrounded for a while.

I also LOVED everyone I came into contact with so much (and still do) that I was a total pushover, had no boundaries and got walked on left, right and centre.

BUT now that I’ve been in the psychic role for a while, I stopped people from taking advantage of me, have settled into it a bit more, and I got comfortable with it. Then I came to Australia and underwent some sort of supercharged growing up/transformation process.

So when I no longer wanted to write recently, I knew it was because I was afraid of revealing who I am to the people who read my blog.

Afraid of writing because there was a real discrepancy between who I am in my work, on my blog and who I am in real life.

I feel extremely normal.  I am really normal. It’s just that I work as a psychic.  And if I show you who I really am, I am probably not spiritual enough to be writing this blog anymore.

Why am I telling you this?  Do you even care?

You probably don’t. A bit like how gay people need to come out and tell you how gay they are, and you assure them you don’t really care whether they’re gay or straight.

Also, as long as I do good readings and write about helpful things that people can find by typing ‘what are the akashic records’ into Google, I’m OK, right? I don’t need to get this out onto my blog, do I?

Actually, I do.

It means I am going to give myself permission to go in slightly different directions.  I am setting up a blog about how to become a professional psychic and make money AND stay sane.  I guess I am warning you about this new direction. This website will look a whole lot different soon.

Plus, I’m taking this opportunity to whine about the role of psychic and how weird it can be sometimes.  After all…

Some People think that because you’re psychic you must be superhuman and omniscient.

No I don’t know what you had for dinner last night.  I can’t help you with the lottery numbers. Yeah, if I can’t guess your girlfriend’s name, I must be a fake psychic. You’re probably the 100^th person to have asked me that  this year, actually.

Some People think that I should be a spiritual beacon of light all the time.

I recently fell out with a friend of mine who, when I was going through this, the most challenging period I’ve experienced so far, and needed some caring support, informed me that I needed get it together and to stop being so miserable and selfish because my role here on Earth was to be a spiritual beacon of light for people on my website, on my Facebook and on my Twitter.  Well, that’s not authentic for me, and his comments really pissed me off.

I doubt that anyone sane ever thought I am the Dalai Lama, but judging by the messages I get via my contact form, some people think being a professional psychic equates to being some superior spiritual being and they think I got all the answers.  I doubt YOU, dear reader, ever thought that, but for those people -  Newsflash! We’re all psychic and you have your own answers.  Maybe they aren’t the same as mine.

Being psychic or interested in spirituality doesn’t make you an enlightened being or a guru, does it?

Occasionally I get drunk, cry and do stupid things (especially these last few months after I spend half an hour madly chasing massive flying cockroaches around my apartment, trying to kill them, then when I finally manage to kill them, I go outside only to not believe my eyes when I find a raging river flowing down my street. After all, this is Australia!)

I swear a lot when I’m with my mum, who swears as much as me but gets angry with me when I am ignorant enough to do it in public.

I don’t believe in enlightenment, I think ascension is a load of crap, nor do I believe in twin flames and I have no idea what indigo children are anymore because my spirit guides don’t know what I’m on about when I ask them.

Yes, I am psychic but if I like you and you kiss me, I temporarily lose my psychic abilities and can’t tell you anything about yourself except that you’re really hot.

Actually, because of this reason, I consistently make REALLY bad decisions when it comes to men, not just once or twice, BUT most of the time.

And to top it all off, I think that the concept of old souls, young souls, and sort of evolved souls is a kind of conceit.  I have met lots of non-spiritual people who showed no conscious interest in their spiritual evolution, but they were people who seemed very evolved to me.

I’m sorry if I disappointed you!

You can still book a reading though AND it will be accurate, as long as we don’t start making out half way through.

PS – please don’t throw rocks. I don’t think I could cope, but please leave comments!

When people think of life purpose, they often think of it’s a mission – something they have to do or teach. People often come for a career reading wanting to be told about some teaching they have to impart to the world.

While it IS true that some people do have a very clear message to share with the world, I have also learned (from doing career readings) that not everyone has a ‘message’ or specific teaching to share with the world, that they must share in a certain context (like teaching people confidence or teaching people to develop their psychic abilities.)

BUT on the other hand, what everyone does have is a collection of gifts that they can use in any career setting or context (and in other areas of their life too, such as relationships.)

What Are Soul Gifts?

Often when I do a reading for someone, there will be a few main gifts that the client has, which never change, and which are central to their life purpose their whole life.  Your soul will be urging you to use these gifts so they are not just soul gifts, they are soul urges. They are not just gifts – they are soul gifts because they come from your soul’s past experiences and trainings.

Let’s say a client has three main gifts which are an ability to teach, intuition and compassion/ a humanitarian streak.  The client has known, on a subconscious level, all their life that they have those gifts.  And when they are doing a job that doesn’t use those gifts, they notice it and they feel unfulfilled, even if they don’t know exactly what is missing.

(As an aside, if you currently feel unfulfilled in your work, it’s because you aren’t using your gifts fully!)

So, how can you know what your soul gifts are?

Your soul gifts are encoded at your chakras.  Anyone who can read the energy body can tell you what they are.

Maybe you don’t need a reading to understand your own gifts.  Here are some really common soul gifts that I have come across – see if you can relate to some of these for starters:

Healing – you might have this gift if you are drawn to helping others to feel better and heal themselves emotionally.  Maybe you attract many people into your life who are wounded in some way.  Perhaps you are someone who gets a lot of satisfaction in ‘fixing’ situations and seeing them made better.  Obviously this applies to physical healing too.  If you are someone who constantly wants to rescue, improve and heal your partner, lovers or friends, then you are probably a healer who hasn’t found a way to express this gift apart from in your relationships.

Teaching/mentoring – teachers cannot help but teach and guide.  You might have this gift if you learn something and then always REALLY want to tell other people about it.  You get great satisfaction out of empowering other people through passing on your knowledge – you like knowing that they can now do something they couldn’t do before.  You are good at explaining things to people.

Nurturing and supporting – these people LOVE to be there for others.  They love to provide an environment in which other people can thrive.  They love to look after other people and get a lot of fulfillment from seeing others happy.  These people sometimes express this gift through looking after animals and children.

Leadership – these people like to show others new possibilities and new, more effective ways of doing things.  They often like breaking out of the mould and going against the grain.  They teach us courage and that it’s OK to be different.

Communicator – these people teach, educate others, spark new thought processes, tell stories, pass on knowledge, information and wisdom, but they like to do it in a ‘one-to-many’ way, through speaking, writing books, journalism and blogging.

Inspiring – Inspirers motivate people, open their minds, excite them, show them the vast realm of possibilities (often through spiritual teachings), show them the bigger picture and encourage them to take action (although these people may not necessarily be spiritual people.)

There are around fifteen more soul gifts (some of them overlapping) that I have come across in the course of readings people’s akashic records and energy fields, so I will publish another article soon on the rest of the soul gifts. In the next article, I will also talk about HOW you can be fulfilled in your life purpose (and it’s not always about your career!)

Remember, if you want to know what your life purpose is through your soul gifts, the easiest thing to do is look at what brings you satisfaction. If something brings you great fulfilment to do, it is utilizing a gift of your soul that is central to your life purpose. And if you are unfulfilled and unhappy in your career, it’s because you’re missing the expression of one or more of your most important gifts.

Can you tell what your soul gifts are?

Due to intense, out-of-control homesickness, I will be cutting short my year in Brisbane, Australia! I have only been here for 2 and a half months.

I plan to go back to New Zealand in about six weeks.

So my Australian adventure will come to an end soon. It’s been hot, sticky and at times very weird. There was the time we found maggots in our packet of rice (I learned that flies + 80% humidity = maggots). There was the cockroach racing on Australia day and the flying insects that look like they come from the era of the dinosaurs. (I am British – grew up in the UK so had never seen anything like it!)

Due to this move, I will be giving a 20% discount on all my readings for one week – from now until Monday 8th February (which is my birthday!)

If you’ve been meaning to get a reading for a while, now is the best time as I won’t be doing a special offer like this again, unless I repeat this experience and move to a foreign country, decide I hate it and then go home again (which I don’t plan to do again any time soon )

So that you know how much you’re paying, here’s an approximate calculation of how much my special offer readings are in different currencies. Please note, this is according to the website www.xe.com/ucc and you may need to give or take a few dollars either way:

And if you live in Australia, to apologize for all the Australia-bashing I’ve been doing over the last three weeks (the sleepless nights from the heat have been getting to me!), you get an extra 5-10 minutes for your reading for FREE.

A couple of weeks ago I wrote an article entitled – Are you out of balance with your spirituality?

In that article, I listed some symptoms of being out of balance with spirituality.

What does it even mean to be out of balance with spirituality?

If you’re out of balance with spirituality, it means that you are giving the spiritual side of existence too much importance in your life.  You may spend all your time focusing on activities such as meditation, psychic development, and being immersed in that which is supernatural or otherworldly.

You may be so introverted and lost inside yourself that you find it difficult to relate to the rest of the world (when it’s not about personal or spiritual development).  And you may take your spirituality so seriously that you have forgotten to have fun in life too. If you are imbalanced in your spirituality, you will also find that you have neglected other, more earthy areas of your life such as making money and your social life.

If you relate to this description, then I advise that you read that article about spiritual imbalance before you continue reading this article about how to overcome it.

The types of people who are commonly out of balance with spirituality include:

This article is written for those people who are seriously out of balance with spirituality, like the above groups.

Steps to lose an addiction to spirituality (without losing your spirituality)

If you recognize that you are out of balance, here are some lifestyle changes to help bring more balance back into your life.  I’m sure you’ve heard recommendations to ground yourself such as ‘walk on the grass in bare feet’ etc.  Those suggestions are good for people with a temporary imbalance but they are not good for people who are totally out of balance – such people will need to take bigger steps to redress the imbalance.

________________________________________________________

Symptom of Imbalance #1: You feel lightheaded and spacey in your body.

Suggestion: Check in with your eating habits.

Your eating habits can either help tether you to the earth plane or they can destabilize and unground you.

Both veganism and raw veganism I find to be ungrounding for me, personally. Often people ask during spirit guide coaching if a raw or high raw vegan diet is right for them at this time and the answer is usually something along the lines of ‘no, not unless you are willing to suffer some imbalance.’ Being on that kind of diet as a psychic or very spiritual person requires a very strong foundation and a good connection to reality. If you don’t have that, it will unbalance you.

I bring this issue up because many people do become drawn to a really pure and light diet when they begin to get interested in spirituality or psychic development.  When you open your upper chakras, you might be drawn to giving up meat (the meat-eating students on my spirit guides coaching course often tell me that they notice an aversion to meat as the weeks go by). 

Then as people become even more sensitive, they may be drawn to giving up fish.  Then some people take it one step further and give up animal products.  Some then feel drawn to giving up cooked food and become raw vegans.  This is a natural (but rather extreme) progression and one I went through about 18 months ago.  First, I was vegetarian, then vegan for a while, then I tried raw veganism for 2-3 weeks, twice.  Now I have come full circle and I’m eating meat again. Some people have arguments against eating meat but this is the most grounding diet for me personally.

Other ways to unground yourself with your diet include…

Not eating enough and not eating regularly.  Eating three good meals daily and at regular intervals is more grounding than eating small snacks here and there because it sends your energy out of your head and into your digestive system on a regular basis.  If you miss meals regularly or if you fast, it isn’t good for the lower chakras – or put in a non-jargon way, it’s bad for you as a human being who is trying to stay tethered to the Earth plane.  Regular eating connects us to the earth.

I am not a nutritionist (so the above definitely does not constitute nutritional advice).  But it is what I’ve noticed with myself and working with other ungrounded people who are doing psychic development. 

________________________________________________________

Symptom of Imbalance #2: You neglect your body habitually and you don’t care about your personal appearance

Another Suggestion: Pay more attention to your body

A great way to take your focus away from your upper chakras and put it on your lower chakras is to treat and pamper your body (on an ongoing basis) and really pay it some attention.

Ways to do this include: spending more time and money on grooming – getting a new haircut, painting your nails; getting a pedicure or manicure; updating your wardrobe (throwing out all your old clothes that you no longer wear and getting some new ones that you love wearing and which make you feel great).  Investing money and energy on your appearance and the way you feel in your body (instead of investing it in psychic development, spiritual growth or some such thing) will help to move energy out of your upper chakras.  If you’re very out of balance, it might be a good idea to set aside some of your budget each month especially to celebrate and take care of your physicality, beauty and appearance.

I know that this may seem not a very appealing task, especially if it’s the middle of winter and you have no money but those are the times when you really need to go shopping (even if it’s to the thrift/charity shop).  I myself have been guilty of wearing jogging bottoms to work and brown and black all the time (especially in the winter and seeing as I work from home).  But it’s great for your sacral chakra if you can dress up in something beautiful and colourful more often, and allow yourself to wear nice things even if you’re not leaving the house.

You have probably seen those TV shows where they take a drab, unhappy-looking person and turn them into someone who looks and feels ten times better because of their haircut and the way they dress.  That’s the power of spending time and money on your appearance – it gives yourself and others the message ‘I honour, love and celebrate my physical aspect.’  And that’s important if you are out of balance with spirituality.

Another way to honour your physicality is to exercise regularly – walking is OK but something that raises your heart rate on a regular basis is even better.  I walk a couple of miles per day but presently I don’t have activities such as cardio which raise my heart rate.  I have done in the past, though and I have noticed the difference it makes to feeling physically present.

________________________________________________________

Symptom of Imbalance #3: you don’t want to do anything non-spiritual – it bores you.

Suggestion: Have some non-spiritual activities in your life whether it bores you or not.

This sounds obvious but having a variety of activities in your life (some of which are nothing to do with spirituality) is important.  The reason why most people don’t need this article is because most normal people have jobs that keep them grounded.  If you work in personal development and spirituality (or if you work alone), you will need some sort of antidote to being in your head and to being alone.  That antidote could be a fun hobby that you do regularly that brings you into contact with people you wouldn’t normally meet.

If you are really out of balance, you WILL have lost the taste for non-spiritual activities.  The taste for normal human activities is one that you need to recover bit by bit, and it comes back as you put your focus there for a while so don’t worry if you are passionate about nothing but spirituality or your inner world for a while even as you explore other interests.  The desire for more normal, human stuff will come back once you focus on it.

Another Suggestion: Make sure you have some non-spiritual people in your life

Make sure that you don’t avoid social contact with people who don’t share your worldview.  In my opinion, being able to relate to people from all walks of life (including those who aren’t overtly into personal or spiritual development) is important for balance.  I know very spiritual people who don’t like having friends who aren’t spiritual but I think that you don’t need to share your worldview with everyone.  Not everyone needs to be acquainted with every single part of you that exists – after all, you are a multi-faceted person and there is more to you than your spirituality.

I agree that if you’re very intimate with someone, you will probably want to share that part of you, but not with everyone who crosses your path.  If you do, you can miss out on what you CAN share with other non-spiritual, non personal –development type people.

________________________________________________________

Symptom of Imbalance #4: you spend loads of time working on your beliefs, goals and plans but you rarely create real change in your life or accomplish anything

Suggestion: Get out of your head and just take the next obvious step in front of you.

When you have a lot of energy in your upper chakras, you may need to get something done, but you can be stuck in planning, visualizing, dreaming, theorizing, tying yourself up in knots and going nowhere fast with that.  At those times, you will need to turn your brain and mind’s eye off and just ask yourself – what is the next step that I could take now to move towards what I want (even if it is really a baby step).  And take it.  That takes you straight out of the realm of ideas and into the realm of action.

________________________________________________________

Symptom of Imbalance #5: The world seems like a very harsh and tragic place all the time

Suggestion: Stop taking everything so seriously and go and have some fun (stimulates the sacral chakra)

Spiritual, empathic people can feel people’s plight and are often thinking about how to save the world.  From there it’s not an easy transition to having fun and seeing the light side of life, yet you need that too as a human being.  Remember that life is not just a school and your purpose isn’t to save the world from itself.  Life is also a fun playground, so switch off from your spiritual mission and make sure you do something that really tickles you regularly.  This isn’t about going for a walk on your own or something dull like that.  I mean real fun.  Go and see a stand-up comedy act, see a friend who makes you laugh really hard, go dancing, etc.  Connect with the naughty, fun and playful you.  Find something that you can do regularly in your week to fill this need for fun and playing.

________________________________________________________

Symptom of Imbalance #6: You are neglecting the practical side of your life

Suggestion: Focus attention on your finances and physical survival (stimulates the root chakra)

Checking your bank balance regularly is good because it connects you to your financial reality.  Making a budget is very grounding because it reins your energy in and makes you aware of your present limitations, as unappealing as that will sound to most people.

Cleaning, organizing and tidying is especially good for grounding, as is attending to errands and all those little jobs you have been meaning to do for a while. Preparing food, cooking and baking are all very grounding too. All those aspects of physical life that you would rather run away from are exactly what you need to attend to, in order to stay grounded.

________________________________________________________

FINALLY…

All this talk of cooking, baking and budgeting is all helpful stuff to some degree, but let’s get to the heart of the issue.

If you are out of balance with your spirituality (i.e. addicted to spirituality), you’re running away from something or someone. Imbalanced spirituality is a form of escapism that can become an addiction.

What are you trying to escape from?

It could be a past situation that is too difficult to address and process in a normal, human, emotional way, so you spiritualize it. It could be someone who hurt you. In order to cope with such situations, people can begin to look for an explanation of why such things have happened to them. It’s the spiritual person’s version of finding God after something bad happens. Spirituality is something that should enrich your life, support you and guide you. But it should not be something you depend on like a crutch, an escape mechanism or something that stops you from living life to the fullest. You should not be obsessed with finding out WHY something happened to you or what you are learning from events. Those things can reveal themselves later, in good time.

Here’s a good way of knowing what you could be escaping from:

At some point, we all have wounds that make us want to stay in bed and hide away from the world. There are very few people who reach a certain age and have no wounds at all. Find out what yours are and address them in a human, emotional way (i.e. get resolution on them that isn’t necessarily spiritual). We can resolve things on the level of spirit, but we must bring the healing down into the emotional and physical plane for anything to change. Sometimes action needs to be taken to put them to bed.

I am right in the middle of facing up to my old wounds which have made me want to escape from life for several years.

If you read my last article, you’ll know that my family emigrated to New Zealand (from the UK) without me when I was 19. I didn’t get residency (to make a long story short) because of an old health problem that delayed my residency application and that delay would have made it too late for the rest of my family to get residency, and so I was left behind and because I didn’t emigrate at that time, it’s made it very difficult to get residency in New Zealand. Getting residency could involve training in a skill shortage area, like being high school teacher, which I am prepared to do, although I’d rather not – last time I heard, being a psychic is not a skill shortage in New Zealand.

I’ve spent several years away from my family and it was something that I didn’t choose or want. I grew up in a family of seven so I was used to having people around me all the time and being away from them for so long made me feel abandoned and angry. As someone who doesn’t like to admit to feeling a whole load of negative emotion or anger, it suited me more to escape from this old wound by ‘rising above it’ and pretending I could distance myself from it. It hasn’t worked and the only thing left to do for me is to face up to all this icky emotion and finally get residency in the same country as my family, no matter what it takes.

As I write this, I am in Brisbane, Australia. I planned to stay here for twelve months but it seems likely that I will return to New Zealand within the next month or two and it’s because of the old emotion that doesn’t leave me alone until I join my family and go home. When I admit this, I don’t need to escape anymore.

Can you relate to any of the following?

How did you do?  If you could relate to more than six or seven statements (most importantly – the first five), I’d venture to say that you’re out of balance with your spirituality.

If you didn’t relate to many of the first seven statements, then you probably don’t need to read this article.

What does it mean when you’re out of balance with your spirituality?

It means that you live for (and enjoy) spiritual experiences more than you enjoy human experiences.  In terms of your auric field, your upper chakras will be very open, with a lot of energy running through them while your lower chakras are neglected and small.

In case you don’t know what I mean by over-developed upper chakras and under-developed lower chakras, here’s a quick guide to the chakra system:

Chakras are energy centres in the human energy body. (The energy body is a reflection of the physical body and our life here on Earth.) Much of the information in your energy body is organized and centred at these chakras, which are located in certain places in your body. Here is some information on each chakra:

Root chakra (red) – governs survival, safety, home, money, family, connection to reality. (Located at the perineum.)

Sacral chakra (orange) – governs sexuality, emotions, sensuality, vitality, creativity. (Located just below the belly button.)

Solar plexus chakra (yellow) – governs personal power, self-control, getting things done. (Located just above the belly button.)

Heart chakra (green) – governs self-love, self-care, self-acceptance, self-worth. (Located over the breastbone.)

Throat chakra (blue) – governs self-expression and communication; speaking and listening. (Located at the throat.)

Third eye chakra (lilac) – Intuition and truth. (Located between the eyebrows.)

Crown chakra (white) – Connection to Spirit and your Higher Self. (Located just above the head.)

Note that those aspects of life which are down-to-earth, human, basic, and grounded are all governed by the lower chakras (the root, sacral, and solar plexus chakras):

On the other hand, the upper chakras (crown, third-eye and throat chakras) govern aspects of life such as:

So when you focus a great deal (for a prolonged period) on the activities which are governed by the upper chakras (like psychic development and introspection), it will shift your focus and energy away from the lower chakras (which govern your connection to reality and the real world) and can result in the symptoms mentioned at the beginning of this article.

What kind of person gets out of balance with their spirituality?

Some people who are very drawn to spirituality can find it difficult to embrace the human experience fully. In fact, some spiritual people don’t like being human and the human condition is frustrating to them.

Being human can feel pretty bad at first to a huge, expansive spirit who is used to whizzing around in the ether.  (Maybe that is why babies scream so much when they are born!)  It feels very confining being in a physical body.  Things don’t happen as quickly as you want – manifesting is slow.  You are encumbered by a body which is your vessel for experiencing human life.  Plus, your body needs fuel otherwise you can’t function, so you are slowed down by the demands and disabilities of your body from birth. In addition, you are slowed down by that pesky issue of money and physical resources later on.

How We Escape the Feeling of Limitation

Sometimes we escape that feeling of confinement (of being in a physical body) through spiritual experiences, such as connecting with our guides, higher self and the angels.  Some people escape that confinement through drugs and alcohol.  You can escape the confinement periodically through your sleeping hours, because your spirit visits the astral planes.  So if you find yourself enjoying your sleep more than you enjoy your waking life, it could be another sign that your spirituality is out of balance. Basically, if you find yourself constantly seeking the high that personal and spiritual development brings, to the exclusion of everything else (i.e. while the rest of your life crumbles around you), then you definitely have an imbalance.

Modern-Day Renunciates

If you were incarnated five hundred years ago and mostly concerned with the activities listed above which stimulate the upper chakras (like connecting with spirit, healing and spiritual service) you would probably have chosen a religious path of service in that lifetime. You’d be a monk or a nun of some description.  You’d be able to deliberately forget about the physical aspects of your life – like money and feeding yourself – because your religious order would take care of them for you. In fact, there would be no negative, real-world consequences to neglecting your physical life because the support system would be in place to pick up the slack from you neglecting it.

But the thing is, being out of balance with spirituality is like living as a nun or a monk BUT without the support system of your religious order.  It is a path of suffering and imbalance.

I believe that if you identify as a lightworker and feel a strong sense of spiritual mission in this lifetime, you are among those souls who HAVE incarnated countless times in a lifetime of spiritual service – such as a nun, monk, oracle, druid or spiritual teacher (to give a few examples).  But times have changed since your last incarnation as a religious servant of God.  This time around there are other options.

But old habits die hard and you may still be living like a servant of God, focused on the upper chakras – and ignoring that which is earthy and physical (making money, sex, enjoyment, family and community).

In the end, what we are all working towards is a balance between the spiritual and the physical.  We came here to be incarnated and to enjoy the physical plane as fully as we can, while keeping a connection to spirit.  Spirituality should not consume your life to the detriment of the human aspects. The keyword is BALANCE. You can have a strong calling for spiritual service and live a full, rich life which honours all of the facets of being human.  That means accepting and enjoying all the human, physical functions too.

How I realized that I was out of balance

The first time I had my palm read a few years ago, the reader told me I was ‘barely here’.  I didn’t know what he meant.  To clarify, he told me that I didn’t like earthly life very much.  I was here reluctantly, and wasn’t willing to engage with all aspects of life – only with the aspects I liked – spiritual and psychic stuff.

I began a pattern of retreating from normal life from a very early age. There are times when I have engaged with life a great deal and times when I have retreated and felt unable and unwilling to engage with anything except spirituality.

I would have made a really great nun because I started going to church around the age of ten/eleven on my own – (I felt called to go.) Since the age of 13, I was having (and seeking) spiritual and psychic experiences. 

In my late teens, I was able to tap into my spirit (or higher self) to such an extent that I’d feel amazingly expansive, high and able to take on the world.  Connecting to spirit brought feelings of bliss, ecstasy and connection with everything.  I had the ability to see the beauty and spirit in everything.  When I wasn’t happy in my life, I’d escape into this world. It was like putting on a pair of tinted, rose-coloured spectacles.

This was an enchanting but also very isolating path for a teenage girl to take.  I didn’t know anyone besides my Grandmother who knew about connecting to spirit and getting high on that (and we’re not talking the liquor kind either!)  It felt like no-one really could relate to me.

In addition, at the time, life got a little bit harsher.  Some traumatic things happened in my family that I wanted to escape from, and I escaped them by sleeping for up to 16 hours at a time when I could.   When I turned 17, I escaped them by running away and travelling and that is a pattern that I am still in, eight/nine years later.   When I was 19, my family moved to New Zealand (without me) and I was glad.  I was alone and I liked it.  I had my spirit guides and my connection to spirit and whatever bad stuff happened to me, I was OK because of that.

But on the negative side, I was SO spiritually focused and needed the spiritual support so much, that I became dizzy, impractical, absent.  I was away with the fairies and in another realm, with my upper chakras wide open and my lower chakras (my emotional and human life) completely neglected.  I did the bare minimum to keep my human, physical life ticking along. 

In addition, when my parents moved away, it removed a solid foundation from my life because I lost my family overnight and I didn’t see them for a long time.  That further weakened my connection to the Earth plane, and sense of belonging somewhere.  A couple of years later, I became involved in healing and psychic work, worked from home and bam – some time last year I realized I had become a nun, but without the support of a religious order. I must have seemed reclusive, fragile and a bit otherworldly because I was so ungrounded.

Since then I have been working on opening up my lower chakras and agreeing to fully engage with life – all aspects of it. But I had to suffer a lot emotionally before I realized that was necessary.  The suffering I went through was perhaps necessary for me to be sufficiently motivated to finally break an old vow of spiritual service to the exclusion of everything else.

Can you relate to this? (I know that most people won’t, but then I know that most normal people don’t read my blog )

At some point in the next couple of weeks, I will publish an article about how to become more grounded and engaging fully with aspects of life even when you like to exist mainly in the spiritual realm – something I have been learning a lot about in the second half of last year (and continue to learn about.)

So you are beginning to work on awakening your psychic abilities.  And you’re making progress.  Perhaps you are feeling your chakras opening and tingling, maybe you are seeing things in the corner of your eye moving and hearing things.

It’s all quite exciting.

Except it’s happening all the time.  You don’t know how to turn it off and it’s overwhelming.

What can you do to shut it down?

If you are feeling you need to tone down your psychic awareness, it’s because you’ve got too much energy running through your third eye and crown chakra. (Check out this article if you’re not too familiar with the chakra system.)

This is because you have opened your third eye and maybe it hasn’t been open for a long time. So it’s running amok a little bit.  Here’s what to do in that situation:

1. Get a clear process for shutting down your energy field – and use it

If you want to be able to turn your psychic abilities off at will, you need a clear process for turning them off (AND for turning them on.)

When I tune into people’s spirit guides/energy body, I open up my chakras, and raise my vibration in order to connect.  I have a process for doing it (it’s here).  I also have a process that I do afterwards (which is the opposite of the opening up process) – to close my chakras and come back into my body.  If I don’t do that process, I wouldn’t be closing down my psychic awareness.

My process consists of:

I really have to mean the last step.  I say that because sometimes I don’t want to close down. Let’s face it – being connected to your guides and receiving information is otherworldly and exciting.  It can feel pretty cool.  And you can go around on that psychic high for days feeling connected and hooked in.  That’s not normal, real life though.  So that’s why I say you have to mean the last step. You really have to want to disconnect from your psychic awareness and shut it down for this to work.

If you have an opening up process, you know you can connect again when you want to, so don’t be afraid to close it down.

And remember that your energy is entirely within your control. You control it through your intentions – conscious and subconscious. Turning off psychic abilities after a while becomes like flicking a switch, through intention.

2. Get out of your head and out of your third eye

Secondly, for all the time and attention you’re spending on your psychic and spiritual development, make sure you spend just as much time and attention on your physical human life, for balance.

Your third eye can’t stay open permanently if you are putting your attention elsewhere, on more human, mundane matters.  Your energy can’t be all in your third eye and in your head if it’s focused and distributed elsewhere – like in your lower chakras.

Here are some quick fixes to stimulate the lower chakras:

3. Get out of your head (as a way of life)

Being in balance with your psychic abilities is a way of life.  It’s not about a quick fix to ground you here and there.  If you are someone who is consistently engaging with the psychic and spiritual realms, you must be as dedicated to your physical life too – and pay it just as much attention, if not more.

I know this because I spend a few hours a day in the psychic realm and I know what it is like to be on a high from that.  But that high doesn’t last.  And life will bring you back down to Earth from it (with a nasty bump) if you don’t counterbalance psychic work with being human and in your body.

Being human involves spending time on your human relationships and getting back into the real world afterwards.  That is, unless you want to live as a renunciate or a monk.

I’m pretty sure I did that last time I was here so that life holds no appeal for me.

If all else fails, if you have lots of energy running through your third eye and you can’t switch it off (although realize that ‘can’t’ is a choice, as your energy is completely within your control!), take a bath with a cup of sea salt or Epsom salts in it.  That is a good temporary fix to settle your energy.

If you have been following my blog or befriended me on Facebook, you’ll know that I have just moved to a new country (Australia) and a new city (Brisbane).  Over the last two weeks I’ve met a lot of new people who have asked me about what I do.

Telling people you’re a professional intuitive is usually something that either kills conversation fairly quickly or sparks off a series of interested questions.  Luckily for me most of the people I have spoken to have been interested in my work and open to it.

The most common questions/reactions are:

Some people seem to think that being psychic means being all knowing and omniscient about other people. Actually, this is a common misconception.

Being psychic means you get ONLY the information you NEED from Spirit, as you need it. Information that you need = information that helps you or someone else on their path; information that’s relevant and helpful.

It’s not a party trick.

Some psychics may have experienced something different, but for me there really NEEDS to be a reason for me to get the information I get.  When I meet people, I can often tell a lot about who they are and what they’re like.  I can sometimes hear thoughts. But I never really get a whole lot of information that I don’t NEED and I definitely don’t get to invade anyone’s privacy or get a peek into something I’m not meant to.

On the other hand, reading for someone is easy because the client gives me permission to read for them and there is certain information that they need to have. 

But I can’t tell how many fingers someone is holding behind their back.  I can’t usually tell you what you had for dinner.  I can’t tell you the lottery numbers if you don’t need to win the lottery right now (and most of us really don’t!)

So, when it comes to psychic information, you get the information you’re meant to get. And what you think you need to know is not necessarily what you need to know.

So, if you want to be psychic, surrender to the Spirit in you. Don’t assume you need to know certain things. Ask Spirit to give you the information that is really HELPFUL and RELEVANT to your life and to the lives of those around you – to help you to live your most joyful and fulfilling life.  Or put another way, to help you to live your highest path and purpose.

And don’t ask to be able to read people’s minds or to know the lottery numbers because it’s mostly inappropriate and useless information anyway.

Does being psychic mean you become enlightened and omniscient about your own life?

Another interesting lesson that I have been learning in the last month or so is that being psychic doesn’t mean you can sail through life knowing anything you want to. Sometimes you fall flat on your face.

No psychic is going to be 100% correct all the time, but I do spend my days reading for people and telling them information they tell me is correct, the vast majority of the time. Out of the 400-450 people I’ve read for, I’ve only had a handful tell me they really didn’t resonate with what I told them.

But when it comes to my own stuff and life, I can sometimes have a big blind spot – especially if there is a lesson in it for me.

I went through a lesson in these last two weeks where I formed prejudices about someone I just met and it turned out to be completely and utterly wrong as far as I can see now.  Falling flat on your face is very good because it brings you back down to earth.  Otherwise you can perhaps think you are right about everything in your own life, and then it’s game over – there’s nothing to learn because you have access to everything.  And of course that’s not how it’s meant to be.

In addition, I had a situation this week where I was looking for an apartment with my mother. We arranged to see an apartment and I assumed before I got there that it was going to be unsuitable. Most of my assumptions are intuitive, helpful ones.  But when I got there, it turned out to be the apartment I wanted and it ticked all the boxes.  I got it wrong for a reason – because there was a lesson in it for me which was: don’t allow all of your initial impressions to close your mind – especially if you have nothing to lose just by checking something out and exploring it.

That is, unless you have a very strong feeling to stay away from something or someone. Those feelings of dread or repulsion in your gut always need to be heeded.

So, if you want to be psychic, surrender to your spirit. You must also be open to getting it wrong and having your view of things expanded – especially when it comes to your own life and ‘stuff’.

Being psychic is NOT about knowing everything or having ‘the Truth’.  It’s about getting only the information you personally need, when you need it.
