In a tarot reading, a Significator is a card chosen or drawn to represent the subject of the reading, or the main issue confronting the subject. It is used to enable the reader to focus on the person or the issue. It is not always used by a tarot reader.

Some Tarot spreads have a designated position for the Significator, and some do not. Those tarot readers who choose not to use a Significator simply ignore that position when it is built into a spread. There are no set rules in this, and you should choose yourself which method you prefer.

If a tarot reader chooses to use a Significator in their reading, then how is chosen?

There are 3 main traditional ways to choose a Significator:

Regarding Physical Appearance

Each suit of the tarot has associated with it certain physical characteristics, and a reader would match the appearance and age of the subject to those characteristics. For example, a person who most closely resembles a person with light to medium skin, brown hair, and blue or hazel eyes, would be most associated with Cups. An older woman would be the Queen.

Similarly, a subject with dark skin, dark hair, and dark eyes, would be represented by a Pentacle court card.

Astrology

Another way to determine the card to use is by reference to the astrological sign of the subject.

Each astrological sign is linked to an element: Water, Air, Fire and Earth. Similarly, each of the suits of the tarot (Wands, Swords, Pentacles and Cups) are linked to the Elements.

For example, Fire signs are Aries, Sagittarius, and Leo. Wands are the suit associated with Fire. A person who was born under the Fire sign of Leo, and was a young man, would be best represented by the Knight of Wands. Pages are most often seen as children of either sex, Knights as young adults of either sex; Queens as adult females and Kings as adult males.

Personality

You can choose the Significator on personality, although this requires that you know the subject well. This can be based on how the subject normally sees themselves or how they feel about the important issue at hand. The suit of Cups (Water) is associated with someone who is emotional and creative. The suit of Wands (Fire) is more associated with passionate and energetic personalities.

All these methods involve using a major arcana card which means that it is excluded from the deck for the reading, which can be problematic. Other readers like to designate a card as the Significator but leave it in the deck, and then apply special significance to it if it shows up in the reading.

Another way around this problem is to allow the deck itself to choose the Significator card. To do this, shuffle the deck and draw the top card. The card drawn can show how the subject feels about the role he or she plays in the situation.

Another way is to allow the subject to choose their own Significator. Allow the subject to go through the deck and choose a card. This method provides insight in how the subject sees themselves.

Whichever method you choose (if any) remember that there are no hard and fast rules and you should choose the way you feel is best for you.

Whenever you say tarot cards, you would in most cases find it means the Rider Waite tarot deck. This is because this is one of the most commonly used types of card decks. The history of using tarot cards may take you to ancient times, however the tarot cards as they are known today can be traced to the year 1910 when Arthur Edward Waite designed these with the help of a very talented illustrator named Pamela Colman Smith. While Waite was British, Smith was American at that time, Waite, who was a renowned publisher, also printed an excellent guide to help with the interpretation of this tarot deck titled, ‘The Key to the Tarot.’ This book has often been re-run and used by a slightly modified title, ‘The Pictorial Key to the Tarot.’

This is a wonderful book for any tarot enthusiast because it assists you in every step while using tarot cards for a reading. Waite made a few changes when he designed this new set of cards. The Justice and Strength cards were interchanged so Justice read as card 11 while Strength reads as card 8; all the Minor Arcana cards, which previously only had their numbers and suit symbols inscribed on them, had pictures added by Waite and Smith creating a more interesting and in many ways, easier-to-read tarot deck.

You will find that this particular deck is not only the most popular found today, but also one that is most eloquent in readings. Owing to the beautiful scenes and symbols that Rider Waite and Pamela Smith introduced, each card becomes a miniature book for the diviner, who is able to read the symbols as they become apparent during a reading. The tarot deck, with the help of the key can encourage any amateur to want to learn more about this occult art. Each card has scenery, background and many symbols, which at first glance look child-like simple. On closer perusal, the details would literally unfold before your eyes the story of your subject.

Using tarot cards for divination by novices became apparently easier after this deck was issued. This is why this is one of the most popular versions of tarot cards used today throughout the world. A good number of the symbols that you would find on these cards are the result of the inspiration the authors drew from Eliphas Levi, who was during those time an extremely famous and successful occultist and magician. Fascinated by the signs this occult personality used and convinced that using tarot cards need more visual stimulation for a proper interpretation, Waite tried to make his tarot deck speak out eloquently with the help of color, scenes and symbols.

Owing to the popularity of the Waite tarot cards, many clones have found their way in this type of divination. Some of the better-known versions include the gilded tarot, the Aquarian tarot, the Universal Waite tarot, the Nigel Jackson tarot and the Golden tarot among others. Do not be fooled by the imitations. Use the original Rider Waite tarot deck.

On June 18, 1925, a Czechoslovakian psychic named Brêtislav Kafka asked a group of people whom he had trained to be clairvoyant to ’see’ what was happening to an expedition on its way to the North Pole (1). Explorer Roald Amundsen was attempting to fly over the pole, a feat which had not yet been realized.

Safely in the town of Krásno and Becva in Czechoslovakia, the group applied an ability now known as remote viewing to determine the status of Amundsen’s efforts. “There is a terrible fog and a strong wind at the Pole,” they said. “No one from the expedition has gotten here yet. The storm is too severe to reach the Pole by air.”

Two days later, they heard that Amundsen had not been successful as they had determined. Later, Amundsen did manage to fly over the North Pole with a total of six crew members packed into one plane. A second plane had been damaged and was not part of the triumphant feat.

During World War II, Kafka and his trained band of psychics kept apprised of the war’s progress by remote viewing. Kafka would command a psychic to tell what he ’saw’ happening at the front, while another member of his team would have the same order. The clairvoyants were unaware of what their teammates had reported. According to Ostrander and Schroeder (1), the reports usually agreed and Kafka had a “good indication” of what was happening hundreds of miles away. It is interesting to me that the authors do not discuss what Kafka’s role was, if any, in WWII, and what uses the information gleaned from his psychics were put.

Somewhat later, in the 1970’s, the CIA became interested in remote viewing and initiated a program at the Stanford Research Institute (SRI) founded by Harold E. Puthoff. In an excellent article published in 1976, Puthoff and Targ (2) reported a multitude of startling results. The data accumulated from over 50 experiments concluded that remote viewing, the ability to view “by means of innate mental processes remote geographical or technical targets” was not dependent or affected by distance and that the information reported by the subjects were non-analytic in nature such as shape, form, color and material as opposed to the analytical aspects like function, names or numbers.

Interestingly enough, the purpose of the research was not to confirm or dispute the phenomenon of remote viewing, but to study it and its possible application for reconnaissance.

The term ‘remote viewing’ was coined by Ingo Swann (3), who has long been considered the ‘Father of Remote Viewing’. Swann was an important aspect of Puthoff’s work and trained people who were as “psychic as rocks” to undergo training to develop remote viewing techniques. Of all the articles on paranormal abilities that I have researched, this is the first to state that the power can be learned. There are even several articles available on EzineArticles.com that discuss training and being trained as a remote viewer (4-6). Paul Smith on the International Remote Viewing Association’s web-site states that remote viewing is not as much as “psychic phenomenon” but an “imposed discipline or skill that helps the viewer to facilitate or ‘harness’ his or her own innate, underlying psi abilities” (7).

Puthoff and Targ concluded that the difference between the experienced and inexperienced ‘percipients’ as the remote viewers were designated was the reliability of the results rather than the exhibition of the ability (2). A natural propensity toward the psychic phenomenon seems to be required to enhance reliability of one’s ability.

Robert Jahn, who would soon become involved in the Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research (PEAR) program, documented extensive replications of the Puthoff work in the Chicago area by Dunne and Bisaha from 1976-1979 (8). Several of the earlier aspects of Puthoff’s research were confirmed, such as distance between subject and percipient not a factor and the more aesthetic aspects are more accurately perceived as opposed to the analytical details.

One more interesting characteristic was the time that the percipient viewed the remote location did not have to coincide with the time the subject was actually at the locale. Perceptions of the target site were obtained hours or even days before the subject visited the site or even before the selection of the target. The yield was at least as successful as those tests conducted in real time.

In a later article, Jahn with Dunne expands that aspect to include retrocognition (the ability to see past events) as well as precognition, still independent of the time interval. This was discussed as part of the PEAR program’s report in the Journal of Scientific Exploration (9).

However, in their pursuit to develop criteria to define and even quantify data received from remote viewing, the ability appeared to diminish. As part of the previous experiments at SRI, a similar response was also noted (2). Since paranormal perception is a natural ability, the percipients and the researchers would prefer to see the power improve rather than decrease. This ‘decline effect’ has been studied extensively by Dr. Charles Tart at the University of California. He considered repetitious tasks such as guessing cards as a “classic technique for deconditioning any response”, a “technique for extinguishing psychic functioning in the laboratory.

Another notable observation from the SRI experiment was that motion was rarely detected even if the agents were standing next to the moving objects, such as a train crossing a railroad trestle target, although static objects were correctly identified (2).

At the time of the seventies’ experiments, SRI obviously could not disclose the involvement of the CIA. Throughout Puthoff’s paper, there are references to “government visitors”. However in 1995, the CIA declassified and approved documents for release, revealing their sponsorship of the remote viewing research. On the website remoteviewing.com, Puthoff expands on the scope of the experiments that included remote viewing of site in the Soviet Union (10). A percipient was given map coordinates complete with degrees, minutes, and seconds, but was told only that the target was a research and development facility. The percipient produced drawings of a building layout and a “multistory gantry crane” at the site. The results were sufficiently promising enough for the CIA to continue experimentation.

Despite the fact that the remote viewing experiments showed “statistically significant results”, its use in “intelligence gathering was not warranted” (10). The CIA’s ‘laissez faire’ stance has not deterred researchers from continuing to examine the phenomenon. Moddell at the University of Colorado has shown that remote viewing and other paranormal abilities obey the second law of thermodynamics: The entropy of a closed system cannot decrease as time progresses (11). However, his research and a follow-up paper on causation and retrocausation (12) are beyond the scope of this article.

In conclusion, remote viewing or remote perception is still a subject of intense research and study. Unlike other psi phenomenon such as telepathy and telekinesis, a person can be trained to be a percipient and learn the techniques of remote viewing. Martha C. Lawrence broached the subject in “Ashes of Aries” (13) when her sleuth Elizabeth Chase, who had been trained in remote viewing techniques, mentions rather coldly that a friend of hers was involved in the SRI project and used for the government’s “dubious ends”. Although a work of fiction, Lawrence’s remarks are truthful, since the plethora of information available thanks to the Internet reveals that even the CIA saw the advantages of remote viewing. Perhaps with the end of the Cold War and the continued scoffing of psi research by the scientific community has caused the CIA to distance itself from the program. Whatever the reason, remote viewing is seen by many as a very real scientific fact with very real applications.

Want to try tarot card reading? Well, it is actually quite simple and not that difficult to perform. Before anything else, try lighting the candles and incense, take some gradual deep breaths, solemnly meditating. This will generate a sense of sanctity for your entire session. Make sure that you bring together all your items you need and that include the tarot cards. Then, you could think of a particular issue or question which is specific to make it your reading focus. Nevertheless, you could also opt for an open tarot card reading– which means that whatever the cards disclose to you, that’s all you can see.

In advance, you must have a chosen layout for your session. You can in fact make your own layout or they can also be found online or in books. So once you already got a question, you could shuffle the cards in any way you like to. This is when you concentrate on connecting with you and your inquiry. And when you feel ready to stop shuffling, then you can also cut the cards. After doing this and you feel as it’s high time to layout your cards, then you can begin. Now for interpreting your reading, you could choose from several alternatives.

There are some tarot decks which come with books that include the interpretations for the cards given. To understand all these, it’s good enough that you consult a book. Nonetheless, you got numerous alternatives for tarot card reading layouts. You could make use of symbolism and interpret each and every one of them. You could even view the tarot cards as a story, with the first one as the starting point in the story and the final one to be the end. You could also see the artwork on every card, looking at it as an image-display regarding your query.

Or perhaps you could even depend on your insight or hunch, and simply allow your internal monologue tell you what every one of them means or defines. It is highly significant to see each and very card one by one, and at the layout in general. If there are certain areas of your reading where you want more information or you simply don’t fully grasp, then you could layout more cards if you want to. But if you understood well enough yet got another query or concern, you could pull another tarot card or two to seek for added infos.

If you like, you could you could keep a journal by writing down the question, the date, and every tarot card in the layout. The advantage of this is you could always return to it and review what your last session has revealed. After your session, you could end your tarot card reading courteously and slowly. Then, you can thank anyone else (who helped you) and the Universe for the guidance and pick up your cards and return them back in the deck. Place all your reading items away as if you’re ending a divine practice.

Difficult or forbidden love spells heartache for both people involved in a love affair. There are many reasons why relationships can be termed as difficult or even forbidden.

Cultural Differences

Differences in culture, race or religion can be very problematic in some relationships. Often family can pressurise someone to either not enter into a relationship or finish one if it involves someone from a different race, religion or culture.

But if you are determined to celebrate the differences between you, and can show family and friends how happy you are together, then you can win through. Most reasonable and loving families and friends will only want you to be happy. Unfortunately, there are some who will never approve. So to make it work, you both need to be strong, committed and determined to show people how much you love each other, and ignore the people who disapprove.

Age Differences

Age differences of say more than 7 years can be problematic in relationships. The age difference is more acute the younger you are. Family and friends may frown on a big age difference between two lovers. If there is a noticeable age gap this can also lead to embarrassing situations where you and your lover are mistaken as parent and child, for example. But if your love for each other is strong enough, you can succeed in having a very loving and lasting relationship.

Affairs

Being trapped in an unhappy marriage and finding love outside it is at best very stressful, and at worst a recipe for heartbreak and heartache for all concerned. We cannot choose who we fall in love with, so if you are married or have a married lover, don’t despair. It can work out if the love between you is strong enough and you have support from others.

Affairs only happen when there is unhappiness in the marriage and the love has gone from it. There is nothing worse than a loveless, unhappy marriage. Knowing that you have true love waiting for you should give you the strength you need to break free from the unhappy marriage, and get through the difficult times.

Internet Relationships

We often hear the expression “I’ve met someone online,” but getting to know someone, and even falling in love with someone via the Internet, can be difficult if it is not in person.

If you are looking for love that will lead to a committed, trusting and lasting relationship, then “meeting” online and carrying out an Internet relationship cannot replace an actual physical meeting.

The start of a real relationship happens on day one of your actual physical meeting.

To attract, recognise and reciprocate a real love involves all 5 senses, the most important of which is smell. Just as in the animal kingdom, we can smell the right mate for us. This of course is instinctive and you should “sniff” out any insincere, deceptive and dishonest potential partners when you meet them in person.

Distant Relationships

Long distance relationships can work but need a lot of extra effort and some planning. If any relationship needs “work” then this is it. People in successful long distance relationships have a plan to manage the distance.

No one chooses to be in a long distance relationship, but circumstances, geographical location and work commitments can keep people apart. The phrase “absence makes the heart grow fonder” could be true, but equally the saying “out of sight, out of mind” could also apply.

The key to making a long distance relationship work is to communicate honestly and openly about how you feel. You may feel resentment about the circumstances that cause your separation, and transfer this resentment to your partner.

Openly talking about your feelings and about your possible resentment will help you focussed on looking forward to the time when you’re next together.

Difficult or forbidden love can spell heartache but remember — true love can conquer all!

Clairvoyance is French and means “to see clearly.”

Clairvoyance ( or extrasensory perception, sixth sense ) used as a way to see the problems and conflicts that you have in the various stages or areas of your life, and of which they arose.
The question you want answered, can relate to:

Jobs, education , initiation of new education, foreign travel, work abroad, new or existing relationships, coming or already-born children, economy, purchase of housing, friends or family relationships, how you can help yourself or others by disease, how you can get a better quality of life, phobias, trauma, support and guidance, etc.

Through Clairvoyance, you can be advised how you can work on an issue, a problem, an action and thereby creating better conditions in your life.

The clairvoyant will make you aware of the strengths and weaknesses in each area, and what you need to take care of , spend more time on, or put on hold or take a more passive approach on. I would encourage you to listen to your inner voice, to find answers within you and believe in your own feeling or intuition.

The clairvoyant will not make predictions that relate to serious illness, accident or death. In some cases, the clairvoyant will help you with the tools so that you can become more positive and get more energy to deal with a serious situation.

Clairvoyance can be recorded on cassette tapes or similar at no extra calculation, if you bring recording equipment with you.

Clairvoyance is also provided via telephone , chat or email.

Clairvoyance ( French : lucidity): sight, the ability of mediation without a sense of perceiving events and things, for example by looking into the future or by viewing remove events. Clairvoyance is a very controversial phenomenon. There are indications, however, that people in certain special soul modes, under hypnosis or in rapture, can use their consciousness in a different and more comprehensive way than usual. Clairvoyance is an important factor for spirituality.

How is clairvoyance done ?

You call or email the clairvoyant and book a time. To be sure you get the maximum benefit from such a time, do not tell the clairvoyant anything other than your name and phone number. It is also a very good idea if you make a shopping list of issues and topics you would like to have clarified and answered.

The Clairvoyant should not know anything about you other than the above, before the session .

Once you have arrived at the booked time, you and the clairvoyant set ourselves towards each other, and so do I begin to tell you about the things that the universe tells me. The Clairvoyant will give you some explanations as to why those things come up, and you are welcome to underway to make comments on to what is being told.

When the clairvoyant have reached the end of the messages and announcements that might be from the Universe to you, you can take a look at your shopping list up and see if everything has been covered or whether you should have some additional questions.

It happens from time to time that a deceased relative or friend comes with a message or a greeting. It may also be that there is someone you’d like to contact and get a greeting from. You should ask for this. But it is not always that they have time in the spiritual world.

We can not demand that they come when we call on them.

The Free Psychic Chat Rooms Guide will give you lots of advice when explore the world of the paranormal. Whether you seek contact with a deceased loved one, wants to know about your past or future or you want live online psychic reading in your life you will find all the information you need to take on the spiritual journey.

Aries March 21 - April 20

Due to solar discrepancies, recently you may find yourself experiencing more tension than usual. Take heart in the little pleasures in life and try not to “sweat the small stuff”. Next month will be much better. It may be time to plan a leisure vacation. You need time to distress your chakras and raise your vibrational energy.

Taurus April 21 - May 21

You should find your financial situation improving this month. Money should seem like it is flowing endlessly at the moment. If this is not the case, you are psychically blocked and need to consult a professional psychic to discover where you are blocked so that you don’t “miss out” on your financial blessings. Make sure to save and invest money now- it will serve you well in the future.

Gemini May 22 - June 21

This is the perfect time to open yourself up to the deeper love around you. Naturally guarded and sometimes internally conflicted, Gemini tends to build up walls of emotional protection, especially when placed in an emotionally vulnerable position. To open yourself up more, take deep breathes often; deep breathing connects your indwelling God nature with the Universal flow of love.

Cancer June 22 - July 22

You may notice yourself feeling lost at the present moment, questioning your life, life’s purpose and where you fit in the bigger scheme of things. This is a time to slow down, be consciously present and make use of a meditation on a daily basis. Meditation will connect you with your deeper purpose and help internally guide you on the proper path. Take deep breaths daily.

Leo July 23 -August 21

Artistic ability is not your strong suit, but you may find yourself feeling the urge to be creative. Remember that creativity doesn’t always mean painting and drawing, so be sure to apply your new found creative urges in the most effective areas of your life. Business and financial growth will be two good areas of creative focus.

Virgo August 22 - September 23

You may be feeling a bit restless and bored in your current relationship. These feelings are normal due to the planetary influences affecting your sign at the moment. Make sure not to act impulsively on these feelings or you may end up doing something that you later regret. Accept these feelings as normal and try to invent creative ways to bring back the romantic spiciness you feel is missing with your partner.

Libra September 24 - October 23

Loving to talk and be the center of attention, you might find yourself feeling a bit more chatty than normal. Due to the ham inside of you, you may even feel annoyed this month when others try to steal your center stage. You love the public limelight and you easily captivate others with your charm, but remember to let others have the stage once in awhile too.

Scorpio October 24 - November 22

You will be receiving a phone call or correspondence from someone you haven’t heard from in awhile. Depending on the type of relationship you had with this person in the past, you may be caught off guard. But more than likely, it will be a welcomed reunion. This is a good time to make an effort to reunite with old friends who you haven’t been in contact with as much as you would like; one of them needs your support at the moment.

Sagittarius November 23 - December 22

Tensions among coworkers may be stirring in the work place. Do not get involved in office gossip and stay away from office politics too. There are internal power struggles occurring in management and you don’t want to be labeled as a trouble maker. Keep quiet, do your job and keep your eyes open for outside employment opportunities. Make sure not to take any sides and remain as neutral as possible.

Capricorn December 23 - January 20

You may find yourself thinking of ways to make more money this month. Self employment ideas may also be heavy on your mind during this period. This is the perfect time to star exploring the realities of these ideas and writing a plan out as to how to enact this plan in the near future. This is a good time for creating financial prosperity and independence.

Aquarius January 21 - February 19

You need to stop procrastinating and start putting all of your ideas into action. Many great ideas are born in your mind, yet they never make it into the physical world. This is a time to start making your ideas a reality. Inventive and creative, start looking into how to make these inventions real. Your ideas will pay off in the end.

Pisces February 20- March 20

You might be feeling like everything is working against you at the moment. Due to the planetary influences, it might seem like you are walking against the tide, rather than being carried by it. This is a time to challenge any obstacles that may be facing you, making sure not to give up. With persistent effort, you will be victorious and come out ahead on the other end.

Questions and answers about the nature of spirit communication by Craig Hamilton-Parker

GUARDIAN ANGELS

A few weeks after my son died at the age of 33 on my birthday I saw a waking vision of him. He had died of epileptic fits and afterwards there was a post-mortem. I ’saw’ him still covered in deep cuts all over his face and body. My son’s face was very drawn. With him were two monk-like figures: they wore white robes with cowls but I couldn’t see their faces. This was my only vision of my son but I have seen other ‘dead’ friends before and I believe that my son will come to me again.

Joan T

CRAIG’S REPLY: Your son showed himself to you as he was when he had died. But remember that once your son’s spirit passes into the higher realms all trace of his earthly illnesses will go. Your son was probably been on his way to what psychics call ‘The Halls of Healing’- a place in the afterlife where the spirit person recovers. The figures with him would be his guardian angels, not people with wings, but higher spirits that guide the soul to the afterlife.

After 31 years of happiness together my husband died. But not long ago I dreamed that he and I were walking over a narrow 3 ft wide bridge with shoulder high sides. Beneath us ran sparkling clear water. My husband had his arm around me and I could feel that soon we would meet family friends on the other side of the bridge. However when I got to a certain point on the bridge my husband said that now I must go on alone “You must go now, its your future” he said.

Mrs R McC- Rylands

CRAIG’S REPLY: Many people communicate with their dead loved ones through dreams. However dreams also contain many symbols. The bridge and the clear water represent your life that you must, despite your uncertainty, continue with. The high walls on either side show how you sometimes feel forced to go on. Your husband’s embrace and voice reassures you that his spirit is with you in your loneliness. It is your future to live on earth without him but maybe his spirit walks with you to lift your depression or self-doubt?

MY PATIENT’S CRYPTIC MESSAGE

I remember, when I was a nurse, blanket bathing an old lady who was very ill. She started to pick imaginary things off my gown and looked me in the eye and said “Does this remind you of anyone? It reminds you of your mother doesn’t it?” My mother, who died some time before, was well known for this habit. The lady then told me that my mother was saying that, although she missed us all, she was happy now where she was. But she had an important message to give me. “Tell your sister that she must go to see the doctor about her stomach. It’s very important that she does this right away!”

By the time I went on duty next day the lady had passed away. A few days later my sister started to get stomach pains and I urged her not to ignore it. She was taken into hospital for a hernia operation.

Mrs Linda B

CRAIG’S REPLY: By the self-confident way the lady relayed her spirit message, I would presume that she had used her psychic skills throughout her life. Her last communication with the afterlife was to help prevent another tragedy. She must have been a dedicated medium.

Yes, you may control your behaviour when things are fine, when you understand someone is testing you or when you feel the situation demands certain diplomacy from your part.

Of course you can hold your tears and pretend you are fine. Surely you can hide your desire and give the impression that you are totally indifferent to someone…

Yes, you can also control your arms and never hurt your boss, your voice and never shout in the middle of the street, walk without making noise, give the impression you are whatever you wish, depending on the situation you are in. You decide what you’ll show to the others.

Congratulations!

However, I’d like to ask you now a few questions.

Would you control your behaviour if someone destroyed everything you built?

What would you do if someone you trusted the most betrayed you?

Would you control your behaviour if you lost everything you had or your reputation and position?

Would you control your behaviour if everything were totally different than what you expected, while you lived all your life hoping that things would continue to be the way they always were?

Could you control yourself while you spent all your energy expecting certain success? How would you behave in front of failure and misfortune?

You would not be able to control anything. You would become schizophrenic, psychotic, hysterical or neurotic.

You can control your behaviour only when you are not in an inferior position.

Now, you may ask me how you can be prepared to face despair without losing control, but my answer is not going to be what you may imagine.

I’m not going to tell you how to face despair without becoming crazy, but teach you how you can avoid despair, avoid misfortune, avoid being betrayed and avoid being a victim.

Yes, you will learn how to really control your behaviour more than what is humanely possible, but the solution I will give you is not only combined with conformism, like the solutions that all psychiatrists give you when you become crazy. As a matter of fact, psychiatrists don’t prevent craziness, but only a supposed psychotherapy based on medicine when you are already crazy.

Dream interpretation will save you from craziness before you reach a dangerous stage and will protect you from misfortune and despair. You will be protected from accidents and diseases too. You will learn not only how to develop your psychic sphere and get rid of the inherent craziness in us, but you will also learn how to prevent diseases, bad events and accidents.

Craziness prevention through dream interpretation is not only a protection against your worst enemy, the wild and violent conscience you inherited, but also a protection against physical diseases and traumas, misfortune and failure.

Of course, real craziness prevention could not be like today’s psychiatry!

If we wish to prevent craziness, we must prevent despair and misfortune, because they help the wild conscience cause craziness to our human conscience.

Everything depends on human behaviour and on the development of the human conscience, which has to eliminate the wild conscience by transforming it into a part of the human conscience.

Whatever happens to anyone is a consequence of their actions, their behaviour or their intentions.

If we want to eliminate terror from our lives, we have to eliminate our violent tendencies-accidents and diseases are caused by the negative energy within our psychic sphere.

Through dream interpretation you’ll learn how to really control your behaviour in any situation and how to control your life, without facing despair. You’ll see how our planet functions, the relation between your behaviour and daily life and many more things that will guide and protect you, so that you may live peacefully and happily, knowing who you are.

Beating Depression and Craziness

We all know the five senses; smell, touch, hearing, vision and tasting. However, our sixth sense or the sense of intuition is perhaps more important and crucial than all of these put together. Our sixth sense not only protects us at times but also helps us to distinguish between the right and the wrong.

Have you ever gone to a place where you felt things were not right and came away and then you were glad that you did? Have you ever heard the phone ring and known the caller before actually picking up the phone? Has it ever happened with you that you knew what the person was going to say before they actually said it?

Everybody has had these instances; sixth sense is what helps us survive in situations. It is what helps us decide our choices when we encounter a fork in our lives or situations. But, what is this sixth sense? Scientifically speaking, the sixth sense is also known as Extra Sensory Perception or ESP which tells us things which may not have a basis in fact but is actually true. The “hunches” or the “gut feeling” that all of us get or have felt at one point or the other is also a part of the sixth sense.

Where does this sixth sense come from?

Scientists have established that most of our brain forms our subconscious brain while only 1/3 of our brain is actually the conscious brain. The sixth sense is a part of that subconscious mind which in turn is the part of our soul. Philosophers believe that we as souls are a part of the universe hence hold the knowledge of everything. However, this knowledge is not remembered when we take bodies. But sometimes we get a glimpse of this knowledge when we need it; this is known as the sixth sense. There are some people like psychics and clairvoyants who have a sharper sixth sense and can tune themselves to people and the universe and pick up vibrations. Earlier people with this kind of ability were branded as witches and devils and punished. Now a day’s people have started accepting ESP as a part of their daily lives.

How can you develop sixth sense:

We all have a sixth sense because without it no one can survive. However, to further hone your sixth sense, here are a few exercises which can help:

• Meditation: Meditation is perhaps one of the best ways to develop sixth sense. All you need to do is choose a quiet place and sit comfortably, then focus all your attention on your breath. Calm your mind and just observe your thoughts. Once your breath is calm, your thoughts will also just flutter away, this is a state where you will get various insights and answers.
• Listen to your gut feeling more often: Most of us don’t really take time to listen to that inner voice. Pay attention to your hunches and gut feelings, the more you listen to your intuition, the sharper it will become.

Everyone today is talking about the movie ‘The Secret’. If you are one of the
few who has not heard about this movie, it teaches that we create our reality
with our words, thoughts and emotions.

There is a lot of criticism about the movie. Some people are horrified that
anyone would suggest that someone who has been murdered, raped, died of
starvation, etc. chose that experience. But, the truth is that we have chosen
everything that has happened to us. (See my article ’I Chose to Experience This?’)

My daughter, Samantha, was critically ill most of her 22 years. She would not have
consciously chosen to have that experience. She would not have consciously
chosen to be unable to breathe, to experience excruciating gallbladder pain or
to die at such a young age.

I would not have consciously chosen to have a disabled, critically ill child; an
unhappy marriage and chronic pain. But, I have no doubt that I did chose to have
all of these experiences.

Our time on this Earth is only a tiny portion of who we truly are and what our
Soul has experienced. We have each lived many lifetimes. I personally have
memories of thousands of lifetimes on the Earth, and countless lifetimes in
other realities, other planets, other dimensions.

Particles of Spirit (God, Creator, etc.) chose to separate from the Source and
experience all that it could. These particles of Spirit are our Souls. As we
have experiences, we progress, or ascend. The thought is that we will eventually
experience enough to be able to return to join Source, taking all these
experiences back with us.

When I do Past Life Readings for clients, they are usually appalled to learn that
they have experienced lifetimes as a prostitute, murderer, etc. They cannot
believe that they would choose to have an experience such as that.

But, the truth is, our Soul chooses to have those experiences. Our Soul chooses
lessons for us to learn in each lifetime. Living is all about learning lessons.
If we are not learning something, we will cease to exist.

We cannot have compassion for someone with chronic pain if at some time we have
not experienced chronic pain ourselves. We cannot have compassion for a murderer
unless at some point we have had that experience for ourselves. We cannot know
what that experience feels like unless we experience it from all levels. Our
Soul chooses what experiences we will have in each lifetime so that we can learn
the lessons that need to be learned.

I will use my daughter Samantha as an example. In her last lifetime, she was a
wild child of the 60’s. She took drugs in that lifetime and eventually died of a
drug overdose. She did not honor her body. In other lifetimes, she was very
intellectual and did not have emotional involvements. She kept others at a
distance. Because of these lifetimes, her Soul chose that she would be disabled
in this lifetime. She would be unable to care for herself and would have to be
cared for by others. Since she couldn’t move on her own, she would be forced to
allow others to touch her and care for her. Since she could not use her
intelligence, she would have to focus more on her emotions.

Samantha’s life was a testament to these lessons that her Soul chose to learn.
It was not an easy lifetime for her, but she learned and taught so much by
experiencing it.

As for myself, in one lifetime on Atlantis, I was a scientist and Samantha was a
human/animal hybrid. I used her for experimentation. I would place electrodes in
her brain and see how she reacted to them. I kept her alive so that I could
experiment on her. My Soul agreed to share this experience with her in this
lifetime so that I could take care of her properly to make amends for the pain I
had caused her in that lifetime.

Consciously, we would never have chosen to have these experiences. This lifetime
was hard on both of us. But, the lessons that were learned made it all
worthwhile. I do not regret a moment that I shared with Samantha. I enjoy the
moments we continue to share as she teaches me about life after death. Our Souls
knew what they were doing when they planned this lifetime and we both grew from
the experiences.

Using our free will, we created our reality based on the choices that were made
by our Soul. We could have felt sorry for ourselves and allowed the crises we
experienced to ruin our lives, but we chose to be survivors instead. Our
feelings and thoughts allowed this lifetime to be a bit easier than it could
have been.

This is how ‘The Secret’ works. We use this wonderful information to create the
best life we can based on the lessons our Soul has chosen for us.

The person who experiences rape, murder or hunger in this lifetime is learning
lessons for the growth of the Soul. These lessons are not easy, they are really
hard; but they are very necessary for the Soul to experience and to grow.

The Winter Solstice of 2012 marks the end of one 26,000 year astrological cycle and the beginning of a new one. On 21st December of that year there will be a cosmic moment when unknown and miraculous things beyond our comprehension may happen. The planetary configurations offer the potential for a huge shift in consciousness so, if you are ready, a unique opportunity for spiritual growth is available to you.

The importance of 2012 was understood by the Aztecs and Mayans, as well as the Maori, African and Native American Indian shamans amongst others, who prophesied a twenty-five year period of purification followed by a great shift, though they could not see what this was.

Currently we are told that many in the third dimension will move into the fourth, where their hearts will open and they will seek peace. Those already at that level will shift into the fifth dimension and start finding fair solutions to global problems. Some will ascend and pass over. Others ready for ascension will remain on Earth as beacons of light for the masses. However, there will not be a dramatic change. All this will come about slowly.

We have an opportunity now to bring back the energy of the Golden Age of Atlantis. Atlantis was originally a continent covering the Atlantic Ocean and was set up as a divine experiment which lasted for 240,000 years. For 1500 years of this the people created heaven on Earth. This golden era was a time of contentment and oneness. Psychic gifts were highly regarded and all latent abilities in children were honoured, valued and developed. Everyone was clairvoyant, telepathic and clairaudient, so everything was open and honest.

They maintained this high level of psychic attunement and spiritual connection by being close to nature and by relaxing and filling their lives with simple fun, creativity, laughter and contemplation. They lived totally in the present and there were no past or future tenses or negative words.

It was the spiritual technology developed in this time that rendered Atlantis so extraordinary. Housed in the Temple of Poseidon was a new Great Crystal of pure Source energy. This was the power generator for the whole continent and it linked to a network of crystal pyramids, forming a power grid. This enabled people to access clean, free energy for lighting, heating, refrigeration or transport, by tuning their individual crystals into the grid.

The Great Crystal was also a mainframe computer. Technological information was downloaded to individual temple crystals, where it was accessed by the immensely powerful Magi and passed to the people to develop.

There was no disease. In the earliest days families would regularly visit the temples where the priests would balance and realign each person’s mental, emotional and spiritual bodies using sound and crystals.

The healer priests were skilled spiritual and crystal healers, who would use crystal laser wands to perform psychic surgery. Temples of sound were built so that the pitch within was perfect, and sound was used for healing, to knit bones, regeneration of limbs and detoxification. The early Atlanteans were superb herbalists, aromatherapists and hypnotherapists.

All the healing methods they used then have been returned to us and we need to develop them. However we more frequently need medical intervention now as we have much more deeply embedded karmic issues to deal with.

Marriage was considered a sacred contract for parenthood was recognised as an important spiritual responsibility. Parents-to-be connected with the incoming soul before conception, so that each baby was welcomed and cherished. A priest would examine the aura of the child for his latent psychic and spiritual gifts and talents, which would be developed and honoured by family and community. Children grew up with a sense of self-worth, happiness, belonging and connection.

Young children were educated outside in nature, where they were encouraged to express their creativity and learn through song, drama, music, art and play. The aim was to expand their right brain, which keeps the connection to Source open.

Later they were taken to the temples to be taught in classes which were peaceful, light and fun-filled. The first qualities to be developed within the children were awareness and respect. The youngsters learnt to watch the energies of plants, animals, people and all things, so they knew if a plant or animal needed help. They understood that they could not hurt anything without hurting themselves.

The children’s spiritual and psychic gifts were carefully developed. They were taught self-discipline and elementary mind control. If, for example, a child was hungry and wanted an orange from a tree, he could simply focus on the fruit with his mind and it would float to him. This development of their psychic gifts conferred immense power and responsibility on the youngsters and helped them to grow spiritually.

Music was used in the temples to assist the children to relax, so they were able to absorb the information telepathically imparted to them by the priests. While they were in trance the children practised visualisation, so that they could develop powers of manifestation.

In Golden Atlantis the people all had twelve chakras so they literally glowed and radiated. However, five closed as the pure power diminished. As we evolve again, these will be re-activated within us, so that we can once more connect with Source and heal our planet.

The Angels of Atlantis returned to Earth a few years ago, seeking those who are pure and dedicated enough to work with them to help develop another Golden Era. If you love crystals and dolphins, talk to your plants or dream you can fly, you were probably in Golden Age and have reincarnated now to bring the energy back.

People often ask me how I became interested in angels, ascension and Atlantis. I came from a background which was totally non-spiritual, psychic or religious. Yet when I was at rock bottom I called out to the Universe for help and was visited by an angel who showed me my future as a spiritual teacher, a seeming impossibility at the time!

However it gave me a vision and set me on a spiritual path. Ten years later the angel returned and asked me to spread information about them, so I started to write books and lecture about them throughout the world. Another ten years on they wanted me to create a school to teach people to run workshops about angels and ascension which I did. The Angels of Atlantis then told me it was important to bring back the energy of Golden Atlantis. With a friend I set out to discover everything I could about Atlantis and the golden era. I was awed by what I learnt.

From simple questions to complex concepts, different Tarot card layouts provide customized insight into situations. Some are deceptively simple, but offer a limited amount of esoteric information. Other Tarot card layouts are extremely involved, but provide a depth of understanding that is mind-boggling in its scope. Between these extremes is a plethora of other Tarot card layouts, each one tapping into psychic power of the cosmos to enlighten and encourage further understanding in our world and our lives. Tarot card layouts may even be one of a kind spreads, developed for particular individuals, or to resolve specific situations.

A good practice is to develop a set of preferred Tarot card layouts that lend themselves to the situations the reader encounters most often. Love and finance are often the primary questions involved in a divination, a fact that every reader should acknowledge. Develop a deep and intuitive knowledge of Tarot card layouts that are specialized for this purpose. Make lists of the inquiries made most often, and be confident when choosing the spread which works best for those situations. Keep in mind that the confidence which is displayed during a session is contagious; any doubt displayed by the reader is passed on to the questioner!

All layouts have their specific purposes. In order to properly divine the secrets locked within the cards, an intimate knowledge of these individual facets is important. Psychic powers must be coerced into revealing secrets, and the correct pattern of the deck is a necessity that cannot be ignored. Invest in reference materials, including a guide to Tarot card layouts, and use it as a guide to perfecting this strange and wonderful mystic art. The forces at work through the hands of the reader are enormous, their proper use could shape great destinies when used in the proper way, and effort should be taken to fully understand the myriad ramifications of apparently minor differences.

Another thing to keep in mind is that a question may sometimes require not one, but multiple layouts, each one giving more insight into the details of the previous. For those in-depth situations, be prepared. By knowing which Tarot card layouts work best for which situations, the entire reading will flow seamlessly, and be far more accurate. Just as a painter must have knowledge of how the different colors mix to form subtle shades, the art of Tarot requires more than a simple knowledge of the deck. It requires the artist to know which variation is best applied to a particular scenario.

Katherine Heiden is a professional tarot card reader and clairvoyant. Her new guide Learn Tarot Cards is a great resource for beginners and experts alike, and includes many bonus guides showing you how to take your hobby of doing tarot card readings and turn it into a career.

When giving a tarot reading, the tarot reader will use a spread of cards from the tarot deck. There are many spreads a reader can choose from, some are specific for different purposes, whilst others are for general readings. Spreads can involve drawing as many cards as the whole deck of 78, whilst a spread can also be just two, or even just one card.

The most common spread is probably the 10 card Celtic Cross Spread.

Together with the general and usually random selection of cards from the deck, a card might also be chosen prior to the reading as a representation of the person receiving the reading. This card is called the Significator.

The Significator card has its own position in some spreads, and in others it has no position at all and can simply be drawn or chosen from the deck before the reading.

The purpose of the Significator card is to help the reader focus on the person receiving the reading. The chosen card can be an indication to the reader of the person’s character, or aspects of character and personality that are hidden. Such a card can also be chosen as a representation of the particular or specific issue relevant to the subject of the reading at this time.

As the Significator is normally used by a tarot reader to signify the character of the person receiving the tarot reading, it is not normally a randomly drawn card, although it can be. The court cards lend themselves well as representations of the human character and personality, because they are pictorially and symbolically human. An example is the Queen of Cups.

This Queen embodies feminine mystery, and exemplifies fragility and a keen intuition. Such a person will have a strange watery seductive power, and one not necessarily associated with great beauty. She will like the attention of others, while not attracting it overtly. The Queen of Cups is easily hurt, and will be inclined to seek solitude for protection.

However, it is not essential that a court card be used, as any card in the deck can represent a person.

As is true with many aspects of the tarot, there are no hard and fast rules concerning the use or otherwise of Significators in a tarot reading, and the tarot reader can decide whether to incorporate it.

If a tarot reader uses a spread that has a position for a Significator, the reader can choose to ignore this position, if they do not want to incorporate this element in the reading. If they do want to incorporate the Significator, they must select the card.

There are many ways to select the significant card, including matching a court card’s physical characteristics to the subject of the reading, to selecting a card randomly from the deck.

How a Significator is chosen, or whether one is used at all, is up to the tarot reader.

The simple beach cottages which dot Southern California’s sunset coast are the material of romance.  Native Southern Californians believe that these cottages originated locally.  Laughably tiny, even dollhouse-like, often sagging, faded, and peeling due to disregard, the clapboard coastal cottage house plan homes occupy many beach communities from Laguna Beach to Venice and beyond.  Many people look down at these boxy and low profile cottages, which are a haphazard mix of Spanish, bungalow, and Cape Cod architecture.  They are just a tad above shanties, and they reflect a time when people had to do with less and were jammed up together.  Nowadays these dwellings, barely of a size to be considered homes, are the nests of college kids, surf bums, or the local psychic reader, rather than residences for grownups. 

In the nineteen-teens and -twenties, English country cottage house plans on the Southern California coast were mainly built as second residences for well-heeled inland-city folks from the likes of Pasadena or Hancock Park.  Coastal residences were popular as summer refuges for city folk, since the cool ocean breezes were a welcome respite in the hot days before the advent of air-conditioning.  In California cottages were built inland as far as the cool onshore breezes extended.  Coastal cottages are actually described better by the term coastal-weather cottages. 

Beginning from the elaborate early country house plans cottages of wealthy city-dwellers, the building of cottages exploded with the developments and tracts in Los Angeles and beyond.  One famous example is Abbot Kinney´s Venice - a planned community built at the beginning of the twentieth century - with its fanciful canals.  Kinney was a tobacco magnate who had himself built a cottage near Santa Monica prior to his grand vision of building a kind of European carnival resort on the coast of Los Angeles.  

Nowadays most cottages serve as year round homes, so their occupants must make this adjustment.  Cottage life is a matter of being outside rather than inside the home - on the patio or the porch, out to the neighborhood, over to the local coffee shop or mall, and out to the beach.  California coastal cottages are not places of hide-out in which their residents shelter themselves from the outside world.  Rather, they are places out of the rat-race of the city proper which are turned seaward for inspiration and stimulation.  This is the feel of real California living - being part of a beach community, living in a beach cottage.  Cottage living is for the young at heart to soak up a little sun and surf; and feel the breeze on their faces.  It’s for people who make a priority of feeling the sand and waves beneath their feet; and who enjoy hanging out in the evenings.  It’s a lifestyle rather than an architectural style.

The coastal cottage house plan is not just a home but an idea for living. Simple residences based upon English country cottage house plans provide the basis for an integral lifestyle combining an easy-going social life with a love for the beach. Country house plans are California antidote to stressful urban living.

To be successful in your business ventures, what is really important is your attitude to your work and everything you do. This is what makes you a successful entrepreneur in the end. How exactly is this? Let’s break it down.

Passion For Your Business: You should be passionate about what you do and the business you want. There are others who don’t think that it’s important to believe in the products or services that they offer. This is actually very crucial, because believing in your business, and in yourself, can be obvious to your customers. What the customers see can affect how your business goes.

Go For the Goal: Like every plan and business, it is important that you have set yourself short-term and long-term goals. This will ensure that there is something that you are working for rather than just get lost on the path. Your goal is also important for you to formulate ways and strategies to use to further improve and expand your business. The short-term goals should lead to your long-term and ultimate objective.

Make Up Your Plan: With the goal in mind, you’ll then have to make up strategies to reach your desired results. Marketing and business plans should cover all aspects in your business — marketing tactics, budget and financial objective, logistics, your target market, etc. Research and adjustments will be needed to know how to effectively execute your plans. Do not be hesitant to employ whatever resources you can get hold of to achieve your goal.

Follow Up: When you are in the execution of your plans, make sure that you’ve established your priorities straight and clearly. Follow up on daily and weekly reports and keep track of everything. This task will naturally require effort and commitment from you. It may seem tiring at times but learn how to keep a cool head and accomplish what needs to be accomplished. It can help if you keep a time diary or work schedule for your daily activities.

Balancing Your Professional Life With Your Personal Life: As your work will be taking up a lot of your time, you should learn how to balance it with your personal activities. It’s nice and refreshing to take a break at times, and you’ll need your mind to be fresh and alert when you encounter problems with your business. Don’t forget to mind your health. A healthy body contributes to a healthy mind. Take exercises if you need to and power up.

Continuous Research and Study: As business patterns and the economy evolve, it is wise to always keep up with the news and evolve with it. There may be opportunities hidden in the oncoming business trends. Continuously studying and improving your business is beneficial and may even be crucial for it to grow and expand.

In every step of the business process, you need to have commitment and passion to keep on the business. This is the right attitude for businessmen. Without the right attitude, your business may become sour and would result in a loss.

Do you believe you have latent psychic abilities? Have you often felt something was going to happen and then it actually did? How many times have known what someone was going to say, before they said it? This is your intuition at work and may be just the tip of your sleeping psychic talents. With desire and practice you can bring your own latent abilities to life.

Disciplined practice is the key to helping anyone enhance their psychic ability and developing your own talent only requires the decision to begin.

The human brain is truly the original computer and regularly bombarded with all sorts of images and information. The subconscious memory contains more information than is contained in all of the world’s libraries. While some people will develop their psychic ability very little or not at all many others will work to further enhance their intuition.

Meditation

One of the most important steps in enhancing psychic awareness is to get in touch with one’s higher self. This is done through meditation. If you feel you need help learning the technique of meditation, you can often find a class in your community or even teach yourself through the many books available on the subject. Meditation will clear negative emotions and thoughts and promote calm and self-healing. It is important to meditate everyday even if just for 20 minutes.

Relaxation is the key to meditation and opening the flow of psychic energy. So let go of the daily stress and problems. This does not require concentration or effort of any kind, in fact just the opposite.It is important to establish an inner peace, and in time your spiritual energy flow will increase.

Be aware of all you feel and see while meditating, as often these are the answers to your questions and concerns in life. Keep a journal and write down what you experience during your meditative state. Compare your notes to actual events that occur. As you continually practice staying in touch with your inner self, your spiritual development will grow and. the stronger you psychic ability will become.

Remove the Fear

The beginning or practicing psychic should never be afraid of misreading their own intuitive feelings or mental images. If you hang onto the fear of being incorrect then that same fear will cause you to actually be incorrect. Even long time psychics aren’t accurate 100% of the time. Moving past your mistakes and continuing to believe in yourself is all part of growing in your psychic abilities.

Many people with psychic abilities are discouraged from making use of their inherent capacities. Being a psychic is not unnatural or something to be feared but rather a disciplined and trained quality accessible to every human determined to pursue it. Developing your psychic ability can enrich your life in many ways, providing a strong connection between your conscious and subconscious mind, enhance your spirituality, and deepen your faith. It is up to you to recognize your talents.

Who else want to know the true secret of how to develop psychic abilities? If you are anything like the majority of people reading this, you either ALREADY believe you are psychic, OR are simply trying to figure out who to cultivate your own powers, right? The simple truth is that I believe ( and the EVIDENCE cooperated) that ALL of us have some innate, inherent psychic potentials….that are ONLY revealed spontaneously, in deep trauma or stress, or through the power of PRACTICE!

As I’m going to assume that you haven’t yet had a spontaneous realization, and I’m not going to wish stress or trauma on you, let’s concentrate ENTIRELY on number #3, ok?

Step #1: Change Your Diet….Change Your Life

Yes, it’s true…just about ALL great prophets, mystics and psychic realizations have come from those MOST connected to nature in their nutrition. Buddha’s great realization came after a long and grueling fast, and we all know the other major religious figures and archetypes and their connection to long fasts. The good news is you DON’T need to fast….but to simply eat more “consciously”, try to avoid processed foods, and stay away from meats for a while to lighten your load a bit.

Step #2: Begin a Regular Practice of Meditation

I really can’t stress this enough…..in MY view, the most important part of the cultivation psychic powers lies in the discipline of your mental machinery. A wild and untamed mind is simply NOT conducive for exceptional experience, it’s that simple. If you are NOT going to practice meditation, you are really left with ONLY having the stress or trauma selections above to choose from..:-)

Step #3: Help is in the Headphones: Entrain Your Brain

Simply stated, I use, recommend and strongly believe in using sound technology to quickly allow you to enter states of altered consciousness in a hurry. These are the very same tools places like the Monroe Center, the Rhine Institute and other leading centers of creative consciousness study utilize to QUICKLY entrain the brain to one conducive to amazing psychic experiences. Plus…you can NOW get them at home, inexpensively, and over the Internet to boot!

That’s really it. Discipline, diet and a few “cheats” to get you on your way. It’s worked for me, for THOUSANDS of others, and will do the same for you for sure!

(and there is NOTHING that will give you the freedom of thought, mind and spirit than learning there is FAR more to your life than meets the eye!)

Simply START by opening your mind, spirit & enhanced AWARENESS and ride the supernatural surfboard into the wild, wacky and wonderful world of the unknown..:-) It WILL rock Your WORLD…I promise..;-)

Healing takes many forms from a simple healing touch to Western Medicine and everything in between. Quantum physics is a relatively new theory described in part by Andrew Zimmerman Jones in his article “Quantum Physics Overview” in which he states: “Matter can go from one spot to another without moving through the intervening space (called quantum tunnelling). Information moves instantly across vast distances.” One question that comes from this information is: Does an object change just by observing it? Some people think so.

Shamans all across the world have a common ground in that they have the ability to move in four worlds: Upper world, lower world, middle world and under world. It was thought that a journey only took place in one world at a time. A recent experience taught me otherwise.

A friend and I were talking. She was exasperated with the constant ’spinning’ she always seemed to be doing. The woman happened to be extremely psychic, was considered the top psychic in the on-line psychic industry and could read a person with just a mere mention of a first name. Not being all that I was at least a little honored that she asked me to look into her “spinning” which had been her experience from the time she could walk.

A shamanic journey consists of entering into an alternate state using sound such as a drum at a consistent, fast beat or a rattle while preferably at rest in a darkened room, all the better to travel to one of the aforementioned worlds.

In this particular instance I ’saw’ and ‘felt’ myself split and move into three of the four worlds….something I had never experienced before. Not having time to mull this over since the journey had only just begun, I put my questions on hold as I raced into the business of ‘quantuming’ to my destination.

Arriving in the other worlds happens in an instant. From experience I am aware that I am the size of a cell and am also aware that even one cell has an intelligence. Immediately I walked into the arena which bore my intent. My friend was in front of me and she was indeed, spinning and about a foot off the ground. I always knew she wasn’t ‘grounded’ but seeing her not being grounded was still shocking.

At first my mind kicked into gear with suggestions on how to work with this condition. I thought of herbal remedies and crystal healings and none of those seemed adequate for what was happening here. It didn’t take me long. I shut off my left brain and just said, “ok, what do I do with this? Show me!”

In an instant, I am reaching into my friends’ body which appeared to be vaporous or ghost-like, into her core energy. The core energy looked like a shaft of golden light that came up through the ground, entering into her body and running through the center of her straight out through the top of her head and it kept on going. I saw that her core energy was broken in two places. I watched, as though I were standing outside of myself, as I placed one hand on the core above the break and one hand below the break. It felt as though I was holding onto a 220v electrical line as I brought the broken pieces together. They attached to each other with a magnetic pull, just like connecting two ends of a magnetic piece of jewelry. The result of reconnecting the two broken core energy pieces was instantaneous. My friend immediately and simultaneously stopped spinning and became grounded and still. Then, she looked at me and said, “thank you”.

At 6:00 a.m. my phone was ringing. My friend was yelling into the phone, “what did you do!?” I gave her some time to calm down and then explained what had happened. She said she felt the change immediately and couldn’t wait to call me to find out what had transpired on my journey. Later, and without my having remembered to mention it to her, she would comment about my splitting into three parts and moving into three worlds just as the journey began. I asked, “you felt that?” She said she saw it somehow. I have no explanation for moving in quantum in three’s.

Since that time, my friends’ core remains solid and intact. She is grounded and focused as never before. She is exuberantly grateful.

Does Shamanic healing work? This time it did.
