Quantum Creating Supercharge: Love Your Soul Path!

If you want to shift your Quantum Creating practice into high gear there’s one sure-fire way to do this. It’s being grateful for where you are right now – before the changes you’re seeking to make manifest. In other words – it’s loving your soul path – the path that’s yours to walk and yours alone, and not comparing your journey to other people’s.

Here’s what often happens. We become so focussed on how our path is differing from that of our friends, that we block the possibilities that are there for us and because of this we become focussed on what we don’t have, rather than what we do. One example of this would be that everyone in your group seems to have found the right partner, are settling down and buying property but this just doesn’t seem to be happening for you. You’re still single and renting. You start to feel left out, left-behind and that you have to be doing something wrong! As a result you continue to focus on the fact that you DON’T have a partner and CAN’T afford to buy a home at present. While we can understand this and most of us have been in this situation to one degree or another at some time in our lives, once we start to do this we derail our Quantum Creating process on several levels without realising it. First of all, all we are broadcasting to the universe are messages about what we don’t have. This does not put us in a place of abundance, it puts us in a place of lack. If we begin to believe there is something wrong with us or we are doing something wrong, then this just compounds the problem. Second, we are forgetting that we all have our own soul journeys which we agreed to before we arrived here. What is happening with your friends is their journey at this point in time. It’s not ours and in the same way that we are all unique individuals, so are our journeys. Third and most important of all – when we continue to compare our journey to others and to focus on what we don’t have right now we lose our connection to GRATITUDE. Gratitude is the secret ingredient that supercharges our soul path and Quantum Creating process. We are grateful for the experiences and what we have right now, and aren’t comparing them to what others have. The moment we shift our thinking this way, we open up to new possibilities and a way for the universe to send us more things to be grateful for.

Instead of focussing on what others have and you don’t, the trick is to focus on the potential contained in your own present situation. Let’s just re-visit that scenario again from this kind of perspective. Your friends are settling down and buying homes and you are single and renting. Well, your friends now have serious financial responsibilities and what’s more, when we have a partner decisions have to be made jointly if we want to partnership to work. Stability and commitment are wonderful things but they close off soul path possibilities that are actually open to you. Because you don’t have a partner or a mortgage you have the freedom to explore all kinds of avenues that are now closed to them. For example, you may decide to save your money and then travel overseas for a year. If you’re renting you can give up your apartment and just rent another when you get back. You can down-size your home if you wanted to open a business or return to study whereas if you have a mortgage you may worry about doing this and selling your home to downsize may result in you losing money. You also would have to talk through your decisions with your partner to see if it is workable for you both. As it stands, you only have to make it work for you.

If you truly feel stuck and in limbo, gather all your strength and focus and change your routine. If we repeat the same thing everyday we are liable to get the same result. Changing patterns, even in a small way can be incredibly powerful. Ask for support, work on your relationship with you and do things differently even if they are small things.

No matter what it is you are trying to create in your life, the message here is not to be envious or feel you are doing anything wrong if others appear to be getting what you want and you don’t. Focus on the potential your soul path contains and be open to the fact that the path you are taking is in fact taking you towards your desires – and by a route that offers you wonderful, unexpected experiences and opportunities along the way. Recognise the fact your soul path is filled with potential meant for you and you alone. Be grateful for your own unique journey to get to your goals and you’ll get there so much faster.

Does Science answer the Soulmate Dilemma?

If you are a regular visitor here on MK you will know that not only are there may articles on here which you can use as a resource to attract in a soulmate but that the subject of soulmates comes up for frequent discussion. I always make it very clear to people that we have more than one soulmate. In fact, the majority of the relationships and connections that happen during our lifetimes – the ones that influence us the most even on a negative level, are usually soulmate relationships and something we have agreed to experience before coming here with the soul in question. A soulmate can be a parent, a sibling or other family member, a friend, a boss, a co-worker, a mentor, a business partner, a teacher – even an animal. In other words, soul mate relationships are more than just romantic partnerships or connections. And just as we have many many soulmates, we can have more than one soulmate in any given area of our lives.

Having emphasised this time and time again over the years, I was really happy to see science wade in on the soulmate question this month. In his book What If? Serious Scientific Answers to Absurd Hypothetical Questions which was published this month, Randall Munroe answers the question, what if everyone had only one soulmate? Based on this proposition, Munroe calculated that given the number of people we will run into during the average lifetime, even taking into consideration reincarnation as a factor, our chances of encountering this one soulmate statistically speaking, work out as once in 10,000 lifetimes. So, for 9,999 lifetimes we would in fact, be soulmateless.

Now, this clearly does not happen otherwise the majority of the human race would be walking around lonely and broken hearted. What it does prove on a statistical level is however that we therefore must have many soulmates – and that includes soulmates of the romantic kind as well as soulmates in every other relationship category we can think of. I believe our soul contracts with soulmates mean we will encounter them in this lifetime but of course, these can be changed and it is also always up to us what decisions we make around the relationship. If we step back and think about how many lifetimes we may have already experienced, it goes without saying we have many soulmates we have travelled with. When we incarnate, our relationships with these soulmates may be very different to what they were in a previous lifetime – so a former marriage or romantic partner could be a family member or a teacher in this one, and vice versa.

So, if you have recently been through a relationship breakdown and feel you have lost your soulmate, think again. Also, bear in mind that if you are going to do any of the rituals or visualisations on MK to manifest a soulmate – who you manifest will be the soulmate with the most to teach you right now – and this may not necessarily be a romantic one. But keep in mind that statistically – science has just proved that you cannot have just one which is for me, the most exciting soulmate news of all.

Psychic Development 101: Channelled Writing and Inspiration

One day in 1965, a psychologist working in the New YorkPresbyterianHospital heard a voice inside her head say ‘This is a Course in Miracles – please take notes’. At first, Dr. Helen Schuchman found this disturbing and in fact ignored it entirely! However, when she began to research Edgar Caycee’s work on psychic phenomenon, she discovered a method he used which he referred to as Inspirational Writing – and that he noted that there appeared to be no limit to the amount of knowledge and wisdom one could channel through this method. Unable to ignore the voice telling her to takes notes any longer, Dr. Schuchman began to do just that and what we now know as A Course in Miracles was born.

Channelled writing is a means of channelling wisdom and inspiration for creativity and even guidance that we can all tap into. All you need to do this are a pen and paper. As with any psychic practice, please ensure your phone is unplugged or turned off and that you won’t be disturbed while doing this exercise. If you like, you can light a candle and this exercise is best performed sitting upright at a table or desk rather than sitting on your couch or a bed. Open your notebook or journal at a blank page in front of you and ensure your feet are firmly planted on the ground. Take a couple of deep breaths in and out to relax yourself and feel any tension or worries leaving your body as you do so. To begin with, it’s best to just be open to what comes through for you. As you practice, you can then move on to asking specific questions and receiving the answers. You might want to either think or say out loud ‘I am now open to whatever insight and inspiration the universe wants to share with me today.’ When you are ready, pick up your pen and pencil and begin to write down whatever thoughts come into your head. Please don’t edit, judge, analyse or censor them at this stage or you will interfere with or even block the flow. Just keep writing. Often our conscious mind can try to take control of the process and start telling us that what we are writing is irrelevant or just plain rubbish. Don’t allow this to happen -write through it if you can or if the nagging becomes too loud then put down your pen for a few moments, take another couple of deep breaths to ground yourself and begin again.

Very often you will be amazed that you have channelled at the very least, loving messages from your higher self, answers to questions or problems you may be facing, or inspiration for creative work – after all – that’s where the word comes from – in-spirit! Sometimes what you have written will no make immediate sense to you however but don’t judge it. Very often when you re-read it weeks or months down the track you will find that this was sent to you in advance of the situation you are now in and now makes perfect sense! Sometimes you will realise that what you have channelled is a reflection of what is going on in the collective as opposed to what’s happening for you personally, but you can use this insight to bring a universal perspective to world affairs.

Always remember to thank the universe, spirit, your guiding angel or your muse or whomever or whatever you believe in responsible for sharing this insight with you when you are finished. Your connection to it or them will only grow over time as you literally write from a place of inspiration and meaning.

Psychic Development 101: How to See Auras

Every living thing on this planet has an aura or energy field around them. Many people are born with the ability to see auras but usually lose this over time when they encounter disbelief or ridicule from people around them when they talk about what they can see. Our auras contain a vast amount of information about ourselves, our thoughts, our state of mind and wellbeing as well as our past, present and future and many psychics can see this information when doing a face-to-face reading. Given the fact that our auras are in fact similar to ‘cloud’ computing in that they store all this information about us, it’s no wonder that the ability to see auras ranks high on the list of psychic skills people would like to master.

Fortunately for us, no special equipment is needed to do this – all it takes is time and practice. To begin to see auras we actually have to not be looking for them! If that sounds like a paradox – well, it is in a way. Many people find that either closing their eyes or else focussing on the space behind the person or being who aura they want to see is the best way to begin doing this. To start with, you might want to enlist the help of a friend or family member. Have them sit in front of you preferably in front of a blank wall – white walls are the best. Sit down on a chair opposite them – ideally about four or five feet away. Close your eyes and say to yourself ‘I can now see so-and-so’s aura’. Sit quietly and wait. To begin with you may see only one colour or two and they may be faint. Don’t force things and obviously don’t keep your subject sitting there for too long! When you have finished open your eyes and write down the colours you saw, where they were in relation to the person’s physical body and what you think they mean.

Once you have done this a few times and have started to see more colours and perhaps the whole aura around someone with your eyes closed, then try opening your eyes. Do not look directly at the person or where you expect to see their aura. Instead keep a soft focus. As you practice this more you will notice that the aura remains clearly visible and the same whether your eyes are open or closed. You now know you are doing this correctly and should now be receiving even more information via the colours in their aura.

You can use the same technique to start to see your own aura. Place a chair about three feet in front of a large mirror. Again, at first keep your eyes closed and say ‘I can now see my own aura’. As time goes by start to open your eyes again keeping that soft focus so you don’t look directly at your reflection or the space your aura occupies but rather are looking through it. The more you practice this, the more this will make sense to you. Think of looking at an aura as looking at the Sun – you can’t/don’t look directly at either!

The great thing about this exercise is you can start by practicing on yourself and you can repeat this exercise as often as you like. As you get better at it don’t be surprised if when you are out and about you can suddenly see the auras of people you encounter, animals and even plants! It’s all a reminder we are beings of pure energy and light – and our auras reflect that.

Self Destruction? A New Approach to Soul Healing

If you have ever vowed to go on a diet, eat better, exercise more; to stop drinking/smoking/spending so much or even to stop getting involved with the same kind of toxic person – only to fail dismally yet again and then beat yourself up over it – then this article is for you.

Chances are you not only hone in on your behaviour as a sign you are weak, a failure and deeply flawed, you back up this negative image of yourself with even more abuse and negative self-talk when you ‘fail’ to deal with it – thus making yourself feel even worse about you and in turn perpetuating the cycle. I’ve just been writing an article about soul wounds for AK (for those who are curious, go check out ‘Mid-Life Transits because the information in it about soul wounds doesn’t just apply to people of a ‘certain age’ but to everyone); and this got me thinking deeply about the soul wounds we all carry and which many of us are unaware of.

You see, when we over-eat, drink too much, spend money we don’t have on things which may give us a short-term ‘high’ but don’t really fill the emptiness we feel inside, smoke too much, over-indulge in anything whether it’s legal or illegal – and that includes relationships that may not be good for us in the long term – what we are in fact engaged in is an attempt to either self-soothe or self-medicate ourselves to relieve the spiritual pain we feel within. And although we may achieve this in the short term, it doesn’t work in the long term because even though we vow to ourselves that we will stop drinking/over-eating/smoking/cut up those credit cards – sooner or later we feel the pain of the soul wound inside and off we go again – repeating the behaviour and the guilt and self-loathing at our perceived ‘flaws’ that follows.

In order to break this cycle we need to look at what we are doing and ourselves with love and see the behaviour for what it truly is – a symptom of something that is wrong – not with us – but of an injury we may not even know we have. Once we begin to acknowledge that this, and not a ‘weakness’ or ‘flaw’ in us is what is driving us to over-indulge or behave in a certain way, we can now ditch beating ourselves up over it, and start to look at the problem not from a judgmental point of view, but from a desire to discover what the issue really is. When we can start to do this, we then come from a place of self-love and healing.

Now, I’m not saying this is easy work because very often it’s not. It often means recognising the feelings that trigger the behaviour in the first place and allowing yourself to experience these in order to really see what it is you are trying so hard to cover up and NOT feel. This is something that very often we have to initially go through alone and without the coping behaviour we have created. For example, are you comfort eating/drinking/smoking because deep down inside you are lonely? Are you buying yourself things not because you need them, can actually afford them or even truly believe you are ‘worth it’ but because you are trying to cover up a deep seated sense of insecurity that you are not ‘enough’ or perfect just as you are? This kind of work needs to be approached with a great deal of courage, kindness and self-love and it can make you feel raw and exposed when you get to the bottom of what the real need is that is driving you.

What I can tell you is that your higher self knows what the issue is and though you may criticise your behaviour or failure to deal with it, it is in fact a powerful clue as to the true nature of your pain and also a big clue to fixing it! So, if you approach it by allowing yourself to fully feel the pain and acknowledge that it is in fact there to help you, you are already more than half-way towards healing.

Sometimes with this kind of work we do require the help of a caring professional to support us, so don’t be afraid to reach out to a doctor, therapist, join a 12 Step Program  or even talk to one of our caring readers to help you gain insight and clarity during the process.

If you had a physical injury or illness, would heaping negative self-talk and criticism on yourself enable you to heal or get better? Of course not! In fact, it could have a depressive effect on your immune system and delay your body’s ability to heal. It’s the same when we have a psychological or soul wound that we’re trying so desperately to either cover up (what I call the ‘spiritual band-aid approach) or soothe with certain behaviours. Negative self-talk isn’t going to help with those either. To put it simply: negative self-talk fuels the symptoms and blocks our ability to see what it is that is really behind our behaviour – a soul wound and not a ‘fault’ or ‘weakness’ in us.

Become the soul detective in your own life and see whatever behaviours you want to change as powerful clues to uncover what’s really hurting or holding you back and know negative self-talk plays no part in this powerful healing process – self-love and acceptance is the only answer.

 

 

Psychic Phone Readings: What to expect

 

 

If you’ve not had a psychic phone reading with one of our psychics before what can you expect? Perhaps you’ve only had face-to-face readings in the past and are worried that your reader won’t be able to connect to you and intuit what’s going on? Perhaps you think that because it’s a distance reading that it won’t be as accurate? Or if you’re one of those brave souls contemplating having a psychic reading of any kind for the very first time, you’re wondering what the process entails or even worried about what your reader will tell you?

Every single one of the readers who work for me have been personally tested by me and have to do on average 3 test readings before they reach the final test with me, even at the last hurdle not everyone gets through. I am proud of the company I have built and the fact that we are first and foremost about empowerment for our clients – so I am dedicated to only recruiting not only the best readers out there, but also the ones that I know reflect not only my values, but are motivated by a genuine desire to help our clients and we are proud to have recently won the award for “Best Psychic Company” as voted by the readers of Soul and Spirit magazine.

When you call to book a reading, ( or you can book online ) you will be put through to one of our friendly reception team who will take your details. You are welcome to tell them if there is any particular type of reading you are after. All our readers are multi-talented in that the majority employ more than one methodology – many combine clairvoyance, the Tarot, working with spirit guides while others are very good at looking at specific areas of your life such as relationships or career for example.

All of my psychics should give you specific details about your situation or tell you something specific about your past without you telling them anything. If you do not get this in the first 5 minutes of your phone reading and you have booked by credit card or paypal just hang up and you will get a full refund or your phone minutes topped up to choose another psychic. If you are seeking to contact someone on the other side and need a medium, or you have an astrological question, then please let our receptionist know so they can match you to the right reader to help you with this.

Once you are connected to your reader, how does this work? How can they ‘tune in’ to you over the phone line, or indeed the internet if you have opted for an on-line reading? Well, it is no different to you sitting down and having a face-to-face reading with a psychic.  The joy of having a phone reading is the psychic has nothing to distract them, like what you look like, or if you are wearing a wedding ring. It is a very clear channel. I often get asked if a phone reading is as good as face to face and because of this in my opinion has the potential to be much better.

The whole point of a psychic reading is not just to allow you to explore what is going to happen in your future but also to hand you the insight and empowerment you need to create the best possible future outcome for yourself. By becoming aware of the opportunities and challenges that are ahead, you can be better prepared and when it comes to you and other – insights into their feelings and motivations can help you navigate your way to better relationships. The power is in your hands.

Insight and empowerment are our mantras! 21st century psychics who are specific, detailed and emotionally intelligent. Most of our clients are returning customers and we’ve been voted Best Psychic Company and Best Spiritual Website in the Soul and Spirit Magazine awards because we truly care about our clients.
