Two Simple Exercises to Measure Your Psychic Progress
Sometimes when we’re developing our psychic abilities we may have to wait for events we’ve predicted to manifest. If we’re waiting a while for feedback it’s easy to become discouraged, so here are two simple exercises you can do which will allow you to measure how you’re coming along.
Soul Scanning:
Get together with someone – ideally this would be someone you don’t know very well. Stand facing one another about six feet apart and both of you should close your eyes. Both of you should take a moment to breathe and release any tension in your bodies. Then, visualise each other as a being of light or pure energy (which is what we really are). Look with your ‘inner’ or third eye at this being of light before you. Scan them from top to bottom and then back up again. Take note of the colours around them, how their energy flows, if there are dark patches or blockages – anything and everything. Next, notice any images, emotions, feelings, thoughts or sensations that may be coming from them.
When you have finished, open your eyes and each of you tell the other person what they saw or picked up. Give one another honest feedback and don’t forget, you may tune into something that has yet to happen so make sure if it does you let the other person know. However, this exercise allows you to have immediate feedback and both of you may be surprised at the amount of accurate information you can get doing this.
Daily Prediction:
Set yourself between one and three predictions each day. The night before, close your eyes and ‘time travel’ forward into tomorrow. How do you see your day unfolding? Who will you encounter? What will happen at work or with your partner or children? Where are you? Look around you. Note any colours and feelings. Events. People you may not know. What are people wearing or doing? What are you saying or doing? File all this information away. If you’re not receiving any images please don’t stress. Are you hearing or feeling anything? Smelling something? Don’t forget, not all information is received visually. Don’t try to force things and be open to how and what comes through. How are you feeling? Elated? Relaxed? Tense? Happy? Note this down as well. When you are done write down between one and three predictions based on the information you have received. You’ll only have to wait 24 hours to see how accurate you’ve been. Keep practicing and as you gain confidence you can start to increase the number or predictions you make.
As you develop your skills you will begin not only to trust your intuition, but to trust yourself as well. Very often we know our future – we just have to be open to it.

Numerology: Secrets of your Birthday 4th, 13th, 22nd, 31st Number 4 Life Path
If you were born on the 4th, 13th, 22nd or 31st day of any month you have a Number 4 Life Path Master Number.
This is a number of the individual and also this carries some karmic lessons. If you have a 4 Master Number you will resonate with people born under the sign of Aquarius. If you encounter people born under this sign you may have a past life connection with them. 4 is a number of innovation and also leadership. However, you could be one of those people who have such a unique and amazing vision you are ahead of your time. You need to learn to follow your intuition and to stick to your own code about what you believe is right. You can underestimate yourself and the wonder why you are attracting a lot of attention from others! People find authenticity attractive so remember to be yourself which is what this lifepath is all about. You are direct and don’t suffer fools gladly – yet you may find again and again you attract them. Why is that do you suppose? You are usually charming and make people feel accepted but if you fail to embrace your originality you can become intolerant, abrupt, tactless, insincere and perverse so please guard against any of these traits. Physically you will be attractive in a way that sets you apart from everyone else – there’s that originality again!
The 4 life path often brings unexpected changes which happen without warning. Your life may suddenly change direction usually due to a crisis. However, if this happens you will cope better than most people would. You are also unlikely to stay living in the same location all your life. If you have siblings communication or staying in touch with them may be difficult. This could be due to distance but it could also be down to you feeling you and they are on different wavelengths. 4 people often report growing up feeling they were born into the wrong family or a mix-up occurred at the hospital when they were born! You would do well if you become involved with social issues or even issues around the environment. You are future-oriented and will campaign for a better one. However, your number is one that can attract accidents or you can even be blamed for accidents that may not have been your fault. Even Mother Nature may cause one and involve you in a natural catastrophe.
Although unforeseen change can cause turmoil it can also bring you benefits as you are just as likely to undergo sudden changes for the better. Any links with overseas or far from your birth are likely to bring financial benefits. Just remember, when you gain it will be a big one – but due to the influence of your number you can go from rags to riches and back to rags again so do try to plan for that rainy day even when you are in a sunny period. You have many unique talents which you may dismiss or underestimate and you need to understand that in your ‘off the wall’ ideas lie the keys to your success, so please explore them.
Your arrival in this life may be unusual or you may have had an unusual upbringing. There could be family tensions and again, you may sometimes feel you are adopted even if you’re not. There could be tension between you and one parent however and if there is, you are likely to move away from the family when you get older. If you have children of your own it is highly likely that one or even all of them will be gifted in some way. If so you will encourage them perhaps in ways you were not encouraged yourself. Part of your growth may well be in believing in your own talents the way you would in those of your children. You may fall in love quickly or others may fall in love with you just as fast. Because of this you may have an early or sudden marriage. You are also likely to be attracted to someone who is very different to you or even eccentric in some way. However, relationships can end as quickly as they begin for you. Your key to finding longevity in relationships is to have a cause or a project in common with your partner that binds the two of you together.
Your soul lesson is to look at your life and see where cycles repeat themselves – usually due to your making the same mistakes over and over again. Once you identify where you are going wrong you can change your circumstances and life direction almost instantly simply by adopting a different mindset or methodology. Your key to utilising the power of your number is to own your individuality and also to be as organised and self-disciplined as possible. These things are not contradictory or mutually exclusive. Above all, reach out and make as many friends as possible and take care not to become a recluse as you get older. The world needs your unique gifts so share them!
If you were born on the 13th, 22nd or 31st of any month please see the additional information contained in your power number which you can find in this section.
Numerology – for those born on the 13th, 22nd or 31st
If you were born on the 13th, 22nd or 31st of any month you should have already read the section which governs your Life Path Master Number which is a 4. However, those of you born under ‘double digits’ which reduce down to a 4 have the additional influence of your double number which reveals information about your Soul Power and Soul Path. So, if your birthday falls on either the 13th, 22nd or 31st – read on.
Soul Power Number 13
Not an unlucky number as many people would have you believe. During your life you are going to encounter a variety of different people, from many different backgrounds. When you do prepare for new ideas to evolve which may result in you taking a new soul path. All of this is designed to bring about transformations for the better for you. When you become aware of these people be prepared to accept the changes they are bringing you. If things don’t change they can’t improve! Your birthday carries the message that old ideas need to be replaced by new ones and if you try to hold on to rigid ways of thinking you will only block the flow of potential in your life. You may come across as detached, aloof or impersonal to others – you are none of these things so don’t let other’s opinions concern you. Your purpose is actually to guide and empower people to walk their own path by fearlessly (or not so fearlessly) setting out to walk yours. Many changes will happen to you during your life time but when they do you will be re-born on some level emerging from them more magnetic, creative and confident than ever before.
Soul Power Number 22
22 is a master number in numerology. It is a bit of an enigma and very often those both under it feel restricted or restrained on some level – almost as if they are in prison but usually this number asks you to consider that the restrictions may be ones you are placing on yourself and the prison is merely your own mind. You need to learn to live in the moment and please, don’t get caught up reliving the past as this will lead to depression for you. Your number tells you that you must learn to listen to your inner voice and not the voices of others especially when you are faced with major decisions – which you will be. When this happens believe in yourself as whether you believe it or not, you are incredibly resourceful. If you alter or adapt yourself to please others you are setting yourself up for trouble and events will transpire that will make you re-build yourself and your life in its proper image – not how others think it should be. Go through life secure in the knowledge this is not your only lifetime. Those born on the 22nd have lived, loved, laughed and lost many many times before. As you tune into your soul purpose this should start to become apparent to you and just boost your confidence in your own abilities. After all – you’ve done this all before! Once you accept this and own your power then incredible success can follow – remember, you’ve earned this over many lifetimes. You have a gift of being able to reach out and touch the lives of many people so please use this to the full.
Soul Power Number 31
This number is the most karmic and powerful of all the four influenced. It indicates someone who is often through no fault of their own, made to stand on their own two feet and walk their own path in life. Strangely enough, if the individual has the courage to do this, this number then usually brings success but again, the person may find they enjoy their success alone. Usually a 31 is drawn to helping others because of this as this number denotes a compassionate nature usually brought about by being misunderstood or marginalised yourself. During your lifetime you will come to understand many truths about the nature of existence and the human condition and you should pass this on to others. You have innate psychic ability and should develop this reading about metaphysics. Careers such as counselling, psychiatry, working as a psychic or any job which involves working behind the scenes towards soul healing in others will benefit you. You will benefit from meditation as this will allow you to tune into the many lifetimes you have experienced. Understand that what happens to you in this lifetime is the result of unresolved issues from previous ones which you are now being given the opportunity to heal once and for all. When you act in the present moment in your power and use your knowledge to help others in some way, you will free yourself of this and open the doors to the success the universe wants to give you.

Quantum Creating: Open up your desires in 3 easy steps!
You’ve looked deep into your soul and have identified the desire that you really REALLY want to manifest in your life. But in the interim – you already have a life that’s jam-packed with things that just eat up your time or distract you. How on earth are you supposed to make the time to work on what you need to do to reach your goals? The fact is that to get something no matter what it is, we need to already have it on some level because the universe responds to our belief and what we focus on expands. That goes for time too! If we believe we have enough time to do the things we have to do as well as the things we want to do what we get is – more time!
Hang on a minute, you may say. My schedule is bursting. I’ve looked. There is no more time to be squeezed from my day. Lucky for us, we are dealing with Quantum Creating which is all about opening up potentials and possibilities on a quantum level that we didn’t know existed. So, let’s go back to that thing you really REALLY want above all else and start there.
First of all, it doesn’t matter what it is. It can be a fabulous relationship, a new home, starting your own business, going back to school to study, a trip of a lifetime, a car – anything! But it should be the No.1 thing on your Quantum Creating list right now, the desire your heart just can’t let go of no matter that you don’t have the time/money/ability right now in your opinion to pursue it.
Step 1: What is the smallest step I can take towards my dream right now, today or this week? This is all about keeping that goal alive and it doesn’t need to be complicated. If you want to change jobs, set up a business or study then go on line and research what you need to do and see it happening. Want a relationship? Know you are lovable, feel yourself loved and put yourself out there! Or perhaps your goal involves something tangible such as a new home, car or experience? Research neighbourhoods, download photos and specs of the car, or if you want that trip of a lifetime, start looking at fares and places to stay. Then send your message to the Universe ‘I am a beacon calling in what I desire or better’
Step 2: Live the dream in some way. Set aside a day to live your dream. If your goal involves you entering a new profession take yourself out for some fun and try on the kind of clothes you will wear once you have your new job or business. If it’s an activity but you don’t have the money to join in yet, go and watch others. Don’t be afraid to network and let people know what you’re trying to do. When we keep our dreams to ourselves we block off opportunities that could help us. Looking for love? Take yourself on that romantic date. Visit the neighbourhood you want to move to. Book a test drive for that car. Check out the luggage stores for the best kind for the trip you have in mind or go compare prices for equipment for that passion you want to turn into a career. There is always a way you can get to experience (and have) that dream in some way right now. Most importantly KNOW YOU DESERVE IT AND THAT IT IS POSSIBLE.
Step 3: Connect to others with a similar dream. You don’t actually have to join a circle or group (although this can provide you with support and focus to keep going). No matter what it is you are trying to do there is usually an on-line community comprised of people trying to do the same thing. Energy is contagious and being with people that are living the dream really does rub off. We are all affected by group energy, surround yourself with happy people who are living the dream.
These three steps may seem obvious and simple but if you are telling yourself that you don’t have the time/money/ability to manifest your desires they help you literally start to re-arrange your space and time for the real thing to appear. So, what are you waiting for? Become a master space and time manipulator today and Quantum Create more of whatever it is you really REALLY want.

Be Your Own Psychic – Getting What You Want
The fact is we are all born incredibly intuitive but the majority of us aren’t lucky enough to be born into families which encourage us to use these gifts. We therefore think that we’re not particularly psychic when in fact all we need to do is reconnect to our abilities. However, there’s no arguing with the fact that this takes time. While there’s no sure fire way to fast track your psychic skills there is a way you can start to see immediate improvements in your abilities and that’s to start to use your intuition in a way that connects you to your deepest passion. In other words, you start to focus your intuitive abilities on your goals.
You’re going to need your trusty journal to start this one and I hope you’ve not neglected the most basic step of goal-getting which is to write them all down. If you have – well, this article will be right here waiting for you when you get back from doing that! For the rest of you, take a good look at your list. What does it contain? Most people’s goals revolve around soul connections (relationships) and soul purpose (career). Money is a by-product of following your soul purpose as are the things you will buy with the money (a lovely home, a nice car etc). Take a minute and just sit with your goal list. What is the one that is ‘pulling’ you or igniting your passion right now? That is the one to start with.
If your primary goal right now is a soul connection: Where do you think you would meet them? When you have met this special person is there anywhere particular you would like to go on a date with them? What would you like the two of you to be doing? Write down everything that comes to you. If you have a particular place or activity in mind to share with your mate when they appear, take your journal and go there and write down what additional information you are picking up. If it is not possible for you to do that then you can always log on to the venue’s site on the internet or search for photos of couples engaged in the kind of activity you imagine yourself sharing with your partner. Again, write down everything that comes to you.
If your primary goal is to do with your soul purpose: You may be thinking about setting up your own business, studying, creating something unique or working towards that dream job. Again, see yourself actually setting up that business, getting a deal on your novel, landing that role, graduating or receiving that phone call telling you you’ve got the job. Write down every piece of information that’s coming to you. If you want to work for a specific company go onto their website or if you can go to their place of business. Again, write down everything that coming to you about the steps you can take to make your goals a reality. If your goal involves getting your book published or exhibiting your art then go to a bookshop or art gallery and imagine your work on the shelf or hanging from the wall. Write down anything no matter how ‘way out’ it may seem.
If your primary goal involves something tangible such as a fabulous new home or car: Understand it is your feelings that hold the key to manifesting these goals. Again, write down everything that comes to you when you think of this goal. Look at pictures of the house or whatever it is on the internet. Imagine how you would feel opening the door of your dream home or driving your new car. Stay with the feelings not with the thing itself and then write down everything that occurs to you intuitively to tap into this feeling as this is what will bring the goal to you.
This exercise will often provide you will an amazing amount of information on ways to reach your goal that might otherwise never have occurred to you. When you have reached it and re-read what you have written you will be amazed at how accurately you were able to ‘tune in’ to this information. The key to this exercise is to follow your passion as that is what fuels the intuitive process. As your confidence in your psychic ability grows you will be able to utilise it more and more in other areas of your life but there is no better way to practice than to use it to reach your dreams.

How to Reconnect To Joy After A Loss
No matter how happy or upbeat we normally are, and no matter how we work to develop ourselves on an emotional and soul level – life happens. Life involves happiness and it also involves loss. It doesn’t discriminate between the good, the bad, those on a spiritual path and those who aren’t. The fact is bad things happen to good people – you only have to read the news headlines every day to see that. On a personal level, loss of a loved one through death, a relationship breakdown, job loss or personal worries can leave us mired in depression and long after other people feel we should have moved on, we still feel despair and unable to feel any joy or passion in our lives. So, if you are grieving over a loss or major life upheaval, what can you do to reconnect to happiness again?
First of all, understand grief and loss have no statute of limitations and we all work through our emotions in different ways and at different speeds. Just because a friend would be ready to ‘get back on the horse’ quickly after a relationship ends doesn’t mean you will. Give yourself permission to feel whatever you are feeling for as long as you need to feel it. Funnily enough, the moment we stop fighting or resisting our emotions, the easier it is to start to heal them.
There’s a fabulous field of human psychology known as positive psychology. Rather than having people talk about the events that have caused them emotional pain as in traditional therapy, it empowers people by helping them to first identify what makes them happy and then to follow that to happiness. It’s really easy to understand as it begins with the simple question: what is it that makes you feel energized and happy?
If you’ve lost your connection to joy this can be a hard one. First however, look back to a time in your life when you were carefree and happy. What music did you listen to? What did you enjoy doing? Find videos of your favourite hits on YouTube and watch them. Have you given up an old hobby or pastime because life got all too serious? Pick up that sketchbook, camera, sewing, cook book, old DIY project or even visit a toy shop. One client stuck in grief after a divorce remembered how she used to love Lego as a child – and went and bought some. Not only did she spend many happy hours distracted from her grief, when she re-married her new husband loved to surprise her with a new Lego set! What you may have dismissed as ‘silly’ or ‘childish’ could hold the key to your re-connection to happiness.
Be open to trying something new. Often if we are prisoners of loss, just thinking about summoning the energy to go do that activity we’ve always thought about can seem overwhelming. Yes, of course we know on an intellectual level it would be good for us. But on a soul or emotional level we may not have the inner resources to do that for ourselves yet. This is where your friends come in. Ask to tag along with them on one of their activities even if on the face of it, it may not be something you would normally be drawn to. Even if you find you don’t like it, you’ve taken a step towards reconnecting to joy. Try another activity and don’t be afraid to keep trying. Your friends want to support you through your process and believe me, will be only too happy to help you. You need to try as many activities as you can until you find the ones which are making you connect back to happiness.
Your environment also plays a crucial role here. If you are spending too much time alone at home, even if you don’t have anyone to go out with, do make the effort to get our. Take a walk in a park, the beach or the country. Visit uplifting places such as an art gallery, museum or even a cathedral or other place or worship. You will find this has a positive impact on your energy.
Remember, Buddhists say life is comprised of ten thousand joys and ten thousand sorrows. Without sorrow we can’t appreciate the joyous things in our lives, but we need to always know that no matter what happens to us, we will move out of sorrow and into the joy that is waiting for us once more.
