Psychic Awareness: Why do I “need” him but the man in my life doesn’t seem to feel the same way back?

Friday, December 18th, 2009

Need, in terms of Personal Prophesy philosophy which I use exclusively in giving playing card readings, is an extremely powerful force.

Need encompasses the deepest, most intense yearning of the heart to feel that sense of completeness which only one partner – the right partner – can provide.

Women are intuitively perceived to express “need” much more easily than men do, mainly because women tend to live their lives far more in touch with their own true feelings.

Men, on the other hand, tend to be more withdrawn in terms of expressing “need” simply because they put so much effort into denying for themselves what they consider to be emotional weakness.  At least in the external sense.  When I conduct card readings focused on a particular man, it’s readily perceivable the depth of the need he feels.

Need is interpreted quite a large part of the time in readings for men as weakness in terms of their own perception.  Men, after all, aren’t designed to accept feelings of weakness in terms of themselves.  They are, by nature, hunters and protectors.  They are raised to be strong and courageous. Even their own mothers have told them, “Boys don’t cry,” which in essence tells them from a very early age that males do not “feel”, they instead “react” by being fearless, strong, unaffected by emotion.  Which is why so many men portray themselves as needless in their relationships.

A totally wrong concept when it comes to the human heart and Personal Prophesy card readings

After years of conducting psychic/intuitive readings for men from around the world, I can tell you that they are extremely deep feeling, they do suffer incredibly intense emotions, they have a strong tendency to be highly sensitive beings, but – and this is an awfully huge “BUT” – they are so adept at stuffing these emotions and their own relentless feelings of neediness behind a careless facade enabling them  to project themselves as cool, aloof,  unaffected.

This is one of the reasons why I urge women engaged in difficult, unsatisfying relationships to decisively choose to remove themselves from these relationships and simply walk away even when they don’t want to take such a step.  Not because there is no love on the part of the men they are involved with, clearly there is love in the hearts of these men as perceived in the cards.

The step these women decide to take “out” of these relationships holds tremendous potential to lead these men toward genuine feelings of loss and ultimately, need.  The need to get that relationship back and become better partners for these women in the end.

Remember that old saying, “You don’t know what you had until it’s gone?”   It’s almost magical when it comes to a man who seemed emotionally indifferent during a relationship.  Give him enough time to realize how much he misses you and what he had when he was in this relationship with you and you’ll find him wanting to be a better man for you as a result of his own deep-seated feelings of need.

Psychic Advice: What to do and not do during the holiday season

Wednesday, December 16th, 2009

The holidays can be the most meaningful times in our lives.  They can also prove to be the most stressful – if not the most damaging – particularly in terms of the future.

What we do (or don’t do) during the holidays can depend tremendously on how psychically aware we are about our lives and those who interact with us.

Personal Prophesy readings which use ordinary playing cards as the focal point for intuition perception can easily provide us with this all-important insight.

When I conduct readings for others during the holiday season, a huge item on my agenda as I perceive their lives through the cards is helping them not create a new negative holiday memory that will literally last forever.

I urge recipients of my readings to take a deep breath and a big step back in order to realistically consider the heartbreak they are setting themselves up for should they make poor choices for themselves during such an emotionally-charged time of the year.

Think back on your own past holiday experiences.  What comes to mind first?  Happy holiday memories, hopefully.  For many among us, however, our first remembrances are extremely negative.  What do those memories, the negative ones, do?  They linger endlessly in our own memory banks and quite often will affect the way we celebrate the holiday season far into the future.

Personal Prophesy readings have taught me over the years that Holiday Do’s and Don’ts are:

*  Give from the spirit if you can’t give from the heart.

The spirit believes in unconditional love and kindness because it is so intricately connected to the Universe itself.  Give in to your spiritual side during the holidays.  We all have family members, ex-spouses and friends who have let us down in the past.  Possibly in incredibly major ways.

Would it kill us to extend some kindness toward them on the spiritual level, even if it’s only in a simple expression of “Merry Christmas” or “Please have a happy new year”?

Probably not.

Doing so will also be a big shot in the arm where our own spirituality is concerned.

On the other hand, if you can’t bring yourself to take that step physically, do it completely on the spiritual level.  Say a prayer for that individual.  Help someone less fortunate who crosses your path and provide that help as a spiritual offering in the name of someone who has hurt you in the past. You’ll be amazed at how blessed you become in your own life as a result!

*  If you have children, buy their mother or father a gift on behalf of your kids.

Remember, it isn’t so much the gift  itself that’s important, it’s what you are teaching your children by making that gift possible for them to hold in their hands and be able to give to the other parent in their lives that matters.

Children can feel so emotionally torn during the holidays.  They love unconditionally both of their parents, after all.  They want desperately during the holidays to be able to express that love.  These kids never asked to suddenly find themselves refugees of a marriage or a committed relationship gone wrong that has since transformed into a messy divorce or a custody battle.  They deserve to be taught the rightness of having a gift to give to that other parent – even if it isn’t a parent they have the chance to see very often.

These are things your children will remember far into adulthood and help them to learn solid lessons about life to pass down to their own children one day:  The positive lessons they were taught about giving from you.  The positive lessons they were taught about simply loving and honoring their parents – as distanced and apart as those parents might be. Again, lessons learned from you.

Such a gesture made through your children, providing a gift for them to give to that other parent, will accomplish all of that.  It doesn’t matter how much of a rat their father was as a husband or how deficient their mother might have been as a wife during the marriage.  Focus on the fact that you are teaching your children something important about giving and loving.  The other parent will understand the lesson being taught by graciously receiving that gift.

*  Don’t dwell on issues that have yet to be fully resolved.

This means especially with your own existing partners, family members, in-laws and friends.  If you are in the midst of a situation, don’t bring that baggage into the holidays you are trying to celebrate.  Yes, of course, you have every reason to analyze and debate “this” or “that” in terms of your relationships with these people, but let the cards and your own better judgment guide you as you celebrate the holiday season.

Family members and friends?  It doesn’t hurt to just try to give a little of yourself through, say, a card extending a bit of your own humanity. It also makes you a better person within the scope of the Universe.  But if you can’t bring yourself to buy them a gift, you can always donate to a worthy cause in their name with global charities like Heifer International.

You are really gifting the less fortunate in the world by doing so.

An ex your heart is is struggling with who wants to make a new start with you?  Give it a try.  The holiday season is, after all, focused on rebirth and the celebration of life.  You really have nothing to lose and everything to gain by taking such a step, particularly at this time of the year.

If the two of you are able to create a new beginning as you celebrate the holidays, you’ll have this holiday season to look back on and remember.  If the relationship just can’t achieve solid footing, once the holidays have passed you will at least have a good memory to place in your memory banks and not a negative one.

With that relationship fully resolved, you won’t have any baggage to take with you into the holiday season next year.

Psychic Awareness: Coping with setbacks and failures in your life

Friday, December 11th, 2009

Those driven by performance and perfectionism come down very hard on themselves whenever they meet setbacks or outright failure on the paths they’ve chosen to take to the future.

The difficulty arises from their own determined sense of commitment to meet certain personal goals, an unwavering pursuit of success and achievement,  and the urgent need to do everything exactly right and in precisely (what they consider to be) the most correct time frame.

All of this will be seen in Personal Prophesy card readings as literally driving these individuals into the ground.  Not to mention practically driving themselves completely crazy in the process.

If this describes you, it’s time to take a good hard look at the intuitive “whys” involved and to start bringing change to your life for the better as as a result of such psychic awareness.

Allowing yourself the room to “fail” – as much as you may despise the word – absolutely must become an option as you continue to follow the course you are taking toward the future.

Perfectionism is, in itself, a seriously debilitating disease. (Take it from one who knows!)  It not only severely frustrates the mind, cripples the emotions and whittles away at the spirit, but it can wreak serious havoc on the body’s ability to maintain wellness as well.

Please consider that, without your health, you essentially have very little to keep you going.  Peace of mind and wholeness in body comes from realizing genuine quality of life means living your life to the fullest in the present while accepting your own limitations, ultimately leading to a more fulfilling future in the long run.

I urge you to allow yourself to let the setbacks and failures you encounter, go.  Seriously:  Just let them go, forcing yourself to put them behind you into the past – where they belong. Stop trying to analyze these setbacks and failures, just accept them as a sign that you were not meant to proceed with your life in that particular direction.

No more tears, no more agonizing.  Period.  Simply say to yourself, “It happened. It’s over. It is only a moment in time that I can effectively put behind me.” Then, emotionally do, in fact, walk away from it.

Personal Prophesy readings give us strong psychic guidance

My personal opinion, after conducting hundreds and hundreds of readings for others (and reading my own cards as I’ve done for years), when something so seemingly “simple” in our lives goes wrong in terms of a setback or failure, it’s a divine message to us that we are plainly not intended to take the step forward we had anticipated, that we are being directed by the hand of God (the power of the Universe – however you wish to personally define the force which inspires us to live our lives on earth) to learn from an unexpected lesson and gain personal wisdom and insight for ourselves from it.

As Personal Prophesy teaches us, often we can push and push to realize an important goal for ourselves – especially something we’ve seriously struggled with for quite some time.  When it isn’t the “calling” we are really intended to pursue in living our lives, the more we try to move forward, the more we face setbacks and failures which pull us distinctly backward – very much like quicksand.

Visualize yourself, right now, as mired in such quicksand. Struggling to get yourself free of it may seem like the natural thing to do, but inevitably, you are only incapacitating yourself all the more. But by offering no further resistance and allowing someone else to pull you from it, to guide you from such a helpless moment in time, you make it possible for yourself to answer your own true calling as you move toward the future.

For those who are facing setbacks and failures in their academic lives, the cards will unequivocally indicate that the time is swiftly approaching for these individuals to start actively “doing”  meaningful things with the education they’ve recieved thus far, rather than spending more time trying to become more educated.

The more you feel your academic life is disintegrating and that you, yourself, are becoming more mired in that quicksand, the more you need to consider seeking an alternate course of action in terms of the future. This is, according to Personal Prophesy philosophy which I teach in my book “The Message”, not the path most intended for you.

It is as if those most affected by setbacks and failures in their lives are being “paged” by the Higher Power to move forward and, in a very positive and decisive manner, to begin “Doing” that which you are being called on to do, at this particular point in your life.

Setbacks and failures have a distinct purpose in our lives.

Specifically, setbacks and failures are meant to help lead us and guide us into the direction we are meant to go.  Once we are able to have enough faith that the Universe will conspire with us and not against us to enable us to achieve happier, more successful lives, we can let ourselves off the hook where setbacks and failures are concerned.

We can see them as merely road signs to the future…the future we are meant to live and enjoy.

Psychic Insights: Harsh words spoken betray a heart that still cares

Sunday, November 29th, 2009

After nearly 30 years of conducting Psychic Love Doctor readings for myself and others, a few  irrefutable insights have revealed themselves over and over again.

Specifically:

  1. Real love never dies, even under the worst possible circumstances
  2. The joy of love in relationships always outweighs the pain
  3. The difference between love and hate is literally the turn of a leaf

In this discussion, let’s concentrate on #3: The difference between love and hate is literally the turn of a leaf.

Did you watch one of the latest episodes of “House” in the last couple of weeks? If you did, you might have caught an extremely telling moment between Cuddy and House near the end of the show.

TV.com posted in its Ignorance is Bliss Episode Recap:

House asks Cuddy if she wants to go for dinner. Cuddy refuses to play along and tells him to do his job.   As Cuddy leaves, House intercepts her and asks if they can at least be civil. He then gives her the tickets for a holiday carnival, and says he’s just doing it to be nice. Cuddy refuses to take them and says she’ll see him tomorrow.

Now, think about it.  If there was absolutely nothing in Cuddy’s heart for House, would she have rejected those tickets for herself and her daughter to attend a holiday carnival as abruptly as she did?

“I don’t want them,” she’d firmly stated.

Who says that to a nice gesture, a gift, from someone you feel affection for as a friend?  No one.  The gift is graciously accepted or declined with an “I’m sorry, that was nice of you, but we can’t go” or something along those lines and the carnival is either attended or not attended by the recipients of those tickets.

Psychic readings will clearly show unfinished emotional business between two people – especially the kind where pain and anger from the past are concerned – creating such an abrupt, even harsh response:

“I don’t want them.

“I don’t need your help.”

“I don’t care that you’re lonely and hurting.”

“I hate you.”

Hate is the real biggie in these cases.  Psychic readings never fail to reveal that no one who is truly resolved emotionally in terms of an ended relationship ever feels the passion and rage attached to the word “hate.”

Instead, they feel sympathy, empathy, sorrow, regret in connection to that ex-partner.  Perhaps even indifference, apathy or just plain nothing by merely shrugging the shoulders and walking away.

Using the word hate and finding it characterized in psychic readings on the other hand, reveals so much more.

According to the article,  Brain has thin line between love and hate, scientists reveal:

There really is a thin line between love and hate – at least in the brain, scientists have shown.  A new study reveals that the brain’s “love” and “hate” circuits share identical structures.

Professor Semir Zeki, who carried out the brain scan study at University College London, said: “Hate is often considered to be an evil passion that should, in a better world, be tamed, controlled, and eradicated.  Yet to the biologist, hate is a passion that is of equal interest to love.”

Did you get that?

Hate is a passion that is of equal interest to love.

In other words, even our own brains inherently understand the meaningful emotional connection between love and hate!

The same holds true in Personal Prophesy card readings.

Hate and love do share remarkably similar characteristics in such psychic readings and a bond that must be paid attention to.  Both reveal the core of genuine passion – one positive, the other negative, yes – but it’s ‘passion’ just the same.

Such strong energy attached to that passion is very much akin to the difference between the turn of a leaf.

Consider that whenever the word hate is used in relation to another person we’ve shared an emotional bond with, particularly an ex-partner, there’s an awful lot of unresolved emotional baggage attached.  So much so that the heart has chosen to transform that “baggage” into something it can articulate with a word to describe the anger and pain:  Hate.

Hate allows us to take a defensive power stance – especially when we feel the most helpless emotionally.  It gives us a feeling of control and protection over feelings of extreme pain and anger.  And it does it’s job well.

However, when you conduct Personal Prophesy readings for yourself and others – or you have a Personal Prophesy reading conducted for you, you’ll quickly find that hate is far closer to love than was ever previously imagined.

The cards will clearly show that such hate is essentially only a defensive posture taken.  Beneath that hate still lies a tremendous amount of love – wounded and wrapped in pain and anger as it may be. The bottom line is that it’s still love.

By perceiving this type of revelation in psychic readings, you put yourself in the position to be able to intuitively guide yourself and others toward a higher understanding in terms of such hate, slowly over time.

You’ll also discover that hatred, because it is so closely related to love, can in many instances be worked through and brought to a point of positive resolve under seemingly simple circumstances.  For instance, an ex genuinely expresses that he or she is sorry and wants to make amends.  He or she goes to great lengths to try to gain forgiveness.  A lengthy period of separation brings both to the point of a new beginning.

To learn more about what what causes hatred to help you better understand your own Personal Prophesy card readings, remember most of all:

As we change from day to day, our emotions change the same.  Consider that what you felt ten years ago, five years ago,  five months ago – isn’t how you truly feel today.  The same holds true in terms of our relationships.

Harsh words spoken actually do betray a heart that still cares.

It’s what you do to turn that situation around as you put one foot in front of the other toward the future that makes all the difference in the world between hating and loving.

Think about that.


Connecting emotionally with others is difficult when they’re prisoners of the past

Saturday, November 21st, 2009

Often in life we encounter some of the most beautiful and charismatic people that we seem to mesh with instantly; however, there’s a serious challenge that comes attached to these relationships and it can be a huge hurdle to overcome.

In psychic readings, I find this to be an extremely common occurrence in readings:  a loved one is incapable of living completely in the Present.

Sadly, these otherwise amazing individuals are emotional prisoners of the past.

Past heartbreaks, past setbacks in their careers, past “what-could-have-been” regrets… they are perceived in psychic readings to be literally stuck wallowing in.  They are so focused in looking back and agonizing, it’s as if they actually live in the past.

And for all intents and purposes, that’s exactly what they’re doing.

How to cope with someone you love who is still so focused on the past?

First, realize:  It isn’t going to be an easy task. In fact, far from it.  After all, you’re dealing with someone who is essentially looking backward as they try to walk toward the future.  They are still so mired in the past that they are stumbling and can’t see where they are going.  The reality is that they can barely see daylight in terms of a new day and a new way of thinking for their lives in the future.

All you can realistically do is try to lead them toward a new start, where they are able to begin looking forward instead of being entirely caught up in the past.  And the cards, as I’ve discovered over these many years giving psychic readings to countless numbers of those who are trying to cope with a partner, friend or family member who is so fixated on the past, will be a strong guiding force for you in that respect.

For instance, when the cards indicate that you can make a new start possible with that person, you surge forward aggressively to enable that to happen. You inspire that loved one to focus on the “here and now” by telling them in no uncertain terms that you understand the past was painful BUT…it’s time to find closure and move on.

When the cards indicate that you can’t budge such a person no matter how hard you may try, it’s time to give up the struggle and allow that individual to work through the pain of the past on his or her own.  He or she might even need professional help to accomplish this in their lives.

Psychically speaking, some will never stop living in the past.

Such difficulty in turning away from the past and living in the present is perceived in readings to be an emotional mountain such individuals simply have to conquer on their own.  Some will and some won’t.  It can often take a terribly long period of time for those fixated so intently on the past to genuinely change and shift that focus in terms of their lives.

Sometimes the loss of you and the precious relationship shared with you will be enough to snap that individual out of a fixation about the past.  I have to admit such a sudden turn-about in terms of focus isn’t however the norm.  Typically, these individuals are dragging with them such a huge amount of personal baggage in terms of the past that if you stay and try too hard, you’ll only find yourself sucked into their own continuing melodrama.

Definitely not what you want to do. It will only make you feel frustrated and terribly helpless in the long run.  You have to safeguard your own emotional health, after all.

You are far better off, as the cards will faithfully support when you’re dealing with someone still caught up in the past and can’t disconnect him or herself from it,  to lovingly back away and attempt to go forward with your own life.

If the two of you are meant to reconnect once the past for that individual has been resolved, the future will bring the two of you together.

That is one of the most empowering aspects of this method of psychically reading ordinary playing cards on which you can rely:  Despite the hardships that may be encountered along the way, what is meant to be will be.  This is where faith and hope is so vitally important. You must believe what you perceive in the cards and follow their guidance – otherwise, why even receive psychic readings at all?

The best course of action you can ever take in such a relationship comes from knowing that when you allow others in your life to take their own journey toward understanding and personal growth in their own way and time, a better partner, friend or family member will be the end result – embracing you and returning your love and care once that journey is over.

I’ve witnessed this kind of transformation more times than I can tell you over the past three decades of conducting readings for myself and others.  Especially when it comes to those who feel compelled to live in the past because of their own heartaches and unresolved pain.

They need our compassion and our ability to step back when it’s required to allow them to find their way from living in the past to embracing the present and turning themselves completely toward the future.

The best part is, they love us that much more for having such insight and understanding once they get their lives back on track.

How do you start bringing metaphysical change to your life?

Friday, November 20th, 2009

 

So often I’m asked, “How do I change my life?”

Surprisingly, the answer that question is really very simple.  And yet, it can seem horribly complex and overwhelming when you are mired in a life that seems utterly incapable of change.

In terms of Personal Prophesy card reading, the method I teach in my book “The Message: Your Secrets in the Cards”, the best place to start is by first changing the way you think about yourself and the life you’re living.

After all, you are the core substance  of your own reality. When you change, your reality changes as well.  As your reality changes, those around you are impacted by that change.  It naturally follows that the world impacting your life  inevitably changes in turn.

If you are broken in terms of your own heart and spirit (as so many of us are), you aren’t able to embrace the Universe and all it has to offer in the way of true blessings.  Change in regard to yourself can then seem extremely difficult – if not practically impossible.

But the truth is, nothing is impossible in terms of Personal Prophesy card readings.

Love?  It’s definitely attainable.  Happiness? It’s always within arm’s reach. Healing? Absolutely.  Fulfillment? Yes, it’s right there for you to seize and enjoy.  All it takes is shifting your focus away from all that isn’t working in terms of your life and focusing instead on making your own life better by creating a new way of thinking and believing, by literally creating a new “reality” for yourself.

Such metaphysical thinking can – and will – bring healing and genuine empowerment to your life.

Just the simple act of taking a deck of ordinary playing cards and imparting to them your own innate spiritual and psychic energy as you shuffle them and lay the cards down for a reading, you are already breaking free from your own chains of impossibility.  You are empowering yourself through your own intuitive insight to see clearly in front of you the tremendous amount of possibility that exists for your life.

Imagine your  life right now as a mirror.  What you feel/believe/fear is reflected right back at you  – and also mirrored in your own Personal Prophesy card readings.  But as you open yourself to the immense amount of opportunity and true possibility that exists in the Universe which naturally happens when you learn to read your own cards by this method, you come to realize that you are more in charge of your own existence than you ever thought you could be.

For instance, if you have been raised to believe that love is a weakness (resulting from your own past abuse, neglect or a generally dysfunctional family life to which so many of us can relate), you simply cannot give love to someone else from a healthy position of strength no matter how much education you have nor how high your position in society might be.

You are essentially operating from that deep-seated perspective of weakness as if you are hiding in the shadows of life and others are out reveling in the sunlight.  Everything you do, every expression of love you try to give, every commitment you attempt to make will be crippled by that sense of weakness.

How do you change that…ridding yourself of that horrible inherent sense of weakness in terms of loving?

Some would tell you to get a puppy – let the puppy teach you how to love from a position of strength.   I’m not going to suggest something like that.  I’m going to ask you to do something bigger and perhaps much scarier:

Start by loving yourself.

That’s right: Yourself.

Not just “kinda sorta” love yourself – but completely. Freely. Unconditionally.

After all, if we truly believe that the Higher Power created us, we then acknowledge that we were created out of supreme love because that is the power and true essence of the Universe:  Love!

When we learn how to believe in love, how to live a love-filled life, when we completely walk in love…there isn’t anything that can possibly make us feel weak again.  It starts by truly, completely, unconditionally loving ourselves.  And that kind of love is healing in every sense of the word.

You can being to accomplish that by meditation. I’ve achieve amazing results for myself through guided meditation. The practice of meditation completely healed me of my decades-old affliction of anxiety panic disorder. Plus, I came from an intensely dysfunctional family background.  I was able to resolve myself of the afflictions of this background by learning how to give myself intuitive card readings by the Personal Prophesy method of card reading, which I’ve used for the last 30 years.

This method, once you’ve learned it for yourself, will guide you, encourage you, empower you in terms of being able to love yourself – and others – in the most complete sense.

You’ll perceive your flaws, things you don’t like about yourself in the cards, yes.  But you’ll also perceive how great your own potential is in terms of the life you’re living and your own immense capacity for genuinely loving in those cards as well.  You’ll be able to perceive your own life’s path in the present and where it’s taking you in the future. An entirely changeable path – once you are able to perceive where you are  in terms of your life and the path you are taking to the future.

Be patient with others.

Realize that everyone in your life is operating from his or her own value system created from their own personal life experiences and they may not see things the same way that you do.

By learning how to read your own cards, Personal Prophesy will give you insight into the lives of others and enable you to understand what makes them “tick.”  Why they react as they do.  What their intentions  honestly are toward you and whether they are truly worthy of your own trust and faith.

You will learn to love those who are closest to you for their imperfections and faults simply by perceiving the true essence of their lives in your readings, understanding them on a deep, intuitive level. That kind of insight can be literally priceless.

Personal Prophesy card readings will give you rich insight into their lives and their interactions with you.  You’ll be able to perceive through the cards that friends, relatives and romantic partners aren’t on the same level as you are emotionally, psychologically and even spiritually.  Such insight makes it possible for you to relate better to them, to understand in a sense “where they’re coming from” and enables you to be more patient with them as they “come up to speed” with where you happen to be in your dealings with them.

Forgive yourself.

Yes, forgive yourself!  The person you were in days gone by, making unwise choices that took you down a painful, faulty path is not who you are today.  You’ve learned important lessons from the past.  Now it’s time to strive to let the past go. The past is little more than ashes sitting in a fireplace. You don’t want to spend your the rest of your life sifting through ashes, do you?

No, of course not.

So let yourself off the hook for the past you’ve led.  It’s dead and gone.  The more you resurrect the past in your own mind, the more you keep yourself imprisoned by that fireplace filled with ashes!  If you struggle with the process of letting go, I frequently advise clients who come to me for readings who yearn to release themselves from the past to use the following exercise:

Take a doll to a deserted beach, into the woods, even in the far reaches of your own backyard if you have no other secluded place to go.  Hold that doll, cradle it and tell yourself that this doll represents your past.

Cry if you feel the need as you embrace the doll, re-affirming to yourself that the past represented by that doll has died and you are mourning the past for all your own misguided intentions in those days.

Then dig a hole and bury the doll – with it, your sorrow, your sadness, your regrets. Give your past an important, meaningful burial.  When you feel ready, leave the burial site knowing that you are now stepping out into a new day and time for yourself.  Literally bury the past and leave it there. It has no place or meaning in terms of your future.

Clients have come back and told me this exercise was extremely cleansing and rejuvenating for them on both an emotional and spiritual level.

Have faith in yourself and your own future.

Yes, faith!  Faith, next to love, is about as bonded as you can get with the Universe.  Faith can literally perform miracles if open yourself wholeheartedly to it.

Visualize faith this way:  You are standing on the brink of nothing but sheer impossibility but you have faith. Faith that when you open your arms wide and you thrust yourself toward the abyss of nothingness, your own faith will give you wings and take you to the other side.

That is the true essence and definition of faith.  Without that kind of deep abiding commitment in terms of faith, we are basically only pretending in terms of faith. Faith involves giving our all…believing in what has yet to become reality…confident that no matter what, faith will give us what we need, when we need it.

If you truly have that kind of faith – if you believe the impossible can become possible, if you can thrust yourself toward the unknown and say to yourself, “What I need will come to me when I need it”  – you will never be afraid again.  Genuine faith will lead you and guide you, bringing you exactly what you need.

I’ve seen the evidence of this kind of faith in my own life.  The cards continually urged me to have faith and I did just that. Ten years ago, I wasn’t dating, wasn’t socializing – I was busy raising my children and focusing on my work.  Still, the cards insisted my true soulmate was on the way.

He came to me very ironically at a time when I least expected anyone to enter my life.  But I had faith through those dark, lonely years.  And there he was.  We will celebrate another wedding anniversary next June.

If you have faith – and the cards in your own readings will support your faith – you don’t have to go looking for the future.  It will literally come to you.

It happened for me.  It will happen for you.




Psychic Awareness: Hoarding never leads to abundance, no matter how you slice it

Sunday, November 1st, 2009

Hoarding moneySome call stockpiling money being frugal when you are fortunate enough to make a lot of it.  Especially if you are fortunate enough to do so during a period of  national recession.

When it comes to celebrities who are paid millions for their faces on film in one form or another and don’t freely share their wealth with the world, what would you call it?

Those celebs who follow the philosophy of abundance understand that by living simple lives materially and allowing wealth to pass freely through them into the world for the benefit of others, more abundance will surely follow. They are believers who have complete faith that the flow of abundance will never end.

And they are, as a result,  true recipients of the amazing benefits of abundance through the law of attraction.

Other celebs who hold on tight to their wealth are actually hoarding money, robbing the world of beautiful blessings.

The richest of the rich who think that they are “abundant” when they throw a few million here or there – as Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie frequently do – but still cling to the majority of their wealth, are actually embracing scarcity beliefs with the hoarding of such wealth, rather than having faith in true abundance.

These millionaires believe they are abundant in their giving, but in reality they aren’t in the least.

They’re hoarding because they don’t trust the flow of abundance to always continue, and therefore feel they have to stockpile a big bunch of money “for a rainy day” when the universe stops flowing.

That isn’t abundance at all.

Abundance is about us having faith that by allowing wealth to pass through us, the universe will continue to bring more wealth to us.

What celebrities are too busy fearing scarcity and hoarding their wealth?

For starters, the following:

Jay Leno who is quoted as saying, “”When I was a kid … I had one job which the money went in the bank and the other job that I lived off of,” he said in 2004.

“I still do that to this day. I have yet to touch a dime of my Tonight Show salary. I live off the money I make as a comedian … Maybe it comes from having parents who grew up during the Depression.”

No, it comes from being selfish and not believing in abundance.

Here’s a man with a huge fleet of cars and motorcycles.  A TV icon who was shamed into offering to cover the salaries of laid off staff members during the writers’ strike after Conan O’Brien came forward first with the idea, making Leno the focus of a lot of bad press as a result.

Hardly a “from the heart” gesture on Leno’s part, if you know what I mean.

Richard Dreyfuss, the actor we all know and love, sued an uncle and his own father over a loan he made to them back in 1984.  The loan and interest on it have thus far remained unpaid. Reportedly, he wants full repayment of the loan, plus interest and punitive damages.

Dreyfuss is an Academy Award winner, an actor with a lucrative career that practically runs a mile long. Yet here he is, demanding that his own dad repay him money he loaned him, what, 25 years ago? Money he couldn’t possibly need after all the acting he’s done in movies since the late ’60’s.

And to also charge that his father and uncle have acted with “fraud” and “malice?” Amazing what money will do to some people.

Eva Longoria is a popular actress on “Desperate Housewives.”

According to Wallet Pop, her wedding in 2007 reportedly cost $1.5 million, but this star still scored a lot of freebies to give to her 200 guests: Van Cleef & Arpel 18K yellow gold charm bracelets, and L’Oreal, Cole Haan, and Bebe products were a few.

She says the ‘frugal gene’ runs in her family, explaining that her dad would take her and her three siblings camping with no food. “

He would tell us that we could live off the land. I can skin a deer, a pig, a snake … “

How desperate a hoader has she become?

Dave Grohl, ex-Nirvana drummer who brought together and formed Foo Fighters is another serious hoarder.

“You can’t take your lifestyle for granted,” 39-year-old Grohl said in a 2003 interview. “I’ve got tons of money, but I’m afraid to spend it. Knowing I don’t even have a high school diploma to fall back on, I’m going to be really careful with what I’ve got.”

So while he has a large house with a recording studio in Los Angeles, Grohl is not likely to end up bankrupt like some of his musical brethren. He also isn’t likely to ever experience the blessing of abundance through giving to help his fellow man.

Other Hollywood hoarders include Tyra Banks, Mick Jagger, Tobey Maguire, Teri Hatcher, Jerry Seinfeld – to name just a few.

The rest of us can feel satisfaction from the fact that we give openly and freely to others in our daily lives, even though we may not have much.

Remember, in terms of psychic awareness and how we live our lives on a daily basis:   Abundance isn’t about how much we have to give, but how freely we give it.

The Universe will respond in kind, giving back to us exactly the same.

Psychic awareness will teach you that.  So will learning to read ordinary playing cards by the Personal Prophesy method.  I use this system in all of my readings – for others and myself.

You will learn the difference between scarcity and abundance in your life from these readings, I promise you!

Psychic Love: Communicating When You Don’t Want the Divorce

Sunday, October 11th, 2009

writing-a-letter

When a spouse during a legal separation realizes he or she sincerely doesn’t want the impending divorce,  a Personal Prophesy card reading can be a tremendous amount of help.

Not only as a source of psychic, spiritual and emotional support but readings will clearly indicate whether there is potential for the marriage to be  saved in the future.

Not always is this the case, but in those situations where such potential exists, the best first step is attempting to re-establish meaningful contact while striving to over come personal fears of rejection.

By doing so, an important door remains open where the future is concerned. My advice is that you don’t phone your spouse – there’s too much immediate pressure for both of you created by phone calls.

Instead write a warm, caring letter when you are feeling especially sentimental which asks nothing of your estranged partner.  Instead, express from your heart that you genuinely pray for his/her happiness or simply sends loving thoughts his way – whichever of the two you feel most comfortable with.

Even something as simple as: “It’s your birthday, I was thinking about you and remembering the wonderful birthdays we shared in the past. You always had a way for making mine seem so special…thank you for that.  Best wishes.”

Such a gesture asks nothing of the estranged spouse; however, it does encourage a new atmosphere to begin taking shape between you.

Without heated issues involved, no stress, pain or worry – simply compose and send a letter of compassion and understanding because you do still care so much.  In essence, you are punting the emotional “ball,” giving your estranged spouse something to really think about as he/she moves toward the future he believes he wants at this point in time – without you.

It has been my experience repeatedly in readings that while you may actually go through the process of divorce, the cards will so often indicate that such a spouse will realize his/her own emotional mistakes before too long and yearn to re-unite for a new beginning with you.  And of course forgiveness on both sides of the separation will be essential for any future healing to take place.

If you can be forgiving enough and receptive enough to consider such a possibility, in most instances that spouse will return to you, ready to be the life partner you wish so very much for him or her to be.

It won’t happen overnight, but it will happen – again, as long as the potential is perceived in the reading.

Psychic Moments: Taking a Trip to Refuge City

Tuesday, September 15th, 2009

Girl alone with her own psychic awareness

Psychic awareness isn’t always about what we “see”…sometimes it’s what we come to understand about ourselves on a deep inner level.

Psychic readings will often reveal that we have some important personal issues to resolve before our paths will take a decidedly distinct turn in a new direction.

As we continue to weather a particularly difficult period in our lives, one that essentially encompasses all significant levels – physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual – we need to realize the obstacles we find ourselves currently facing aren’t coincidental.

They have actually been thrust into our paths for a very important reason.

That reason? To help us to grow…in essence to become…the person we need to be for the future.

It has been my perception in such psychic readings that during these times we enter a meaningful period of intense, personal re-organization and re-direction.

According to the psychic philosophy attached to the Personal Prophesy method of reading ordinary playing cards, when these periods take shape in our lives, they are considered to be necessary periods for inner growth to occur, very much like a “cocoon stage,” where we need to draw our energies inward rather than outward.

Psychically, these periods are referred to as bringing forward the need to take up temporary residence in what I call Refuge City – a place emotionally that few can penetrate until the necessary inner strength, peace and serenity have been achieved before moving forward and taking up once again the reigns of life.

These periods, as heavy and all-consuming as they may seem, provide us with the opportunity to really grow from the deepest part of ourselves. When they pass,  psychically speaking, we find ourselves feeling stronger and more ready to face the world and our own personal struggles than we ever were before.

It’s vitally important that we try our best to put a great deal of energy into ourselves and no one else at those particular points in our lives.

By psychically focusing on our own needs and addressing them, squarely confronting our deep-seated fears of being alone in the process  – refraining from seeking a relationship in the hopes that a partner will somehow magically rescue us from this time of hardship and emotional turmoil – our own health on all levels will steadily improve in the process.

An extremely negative way of thinking can easily manifest in poor health physically.

From the psychic level, the cards will clearly reflect the changes that need to be made on all levels.  For instance:

  • if we concentrate on becoming more centered emotionally, more in touch with ‘who’ we are deep down inside
  • if we commit ourselves to this personal quest and sincerely put the time into resolving the pain of the past
  • if we force ourselves to grow beyond this extremely unhappy moment comprising our lives in the present

Yes, our entire outlook on life can and will shift and take on a whole new meaning for the future!

I have witnessed this type of amazing transformation frequently over the years in card readings once the recipient has the psychic awareness to spend some time alone…to look inward and allow time to do it’s best work in our lives….by taking – absolutely – a trip to Refuge City.

Why Being a SelfGrowth.com Official Guide Wasn’t for Me

Sunday, September 6th, 2009

Self growth review and reflections as a Selfgrowth.com official guide

Insights on being an Official Guide on Selfgrowth.com

My term as an Official Guide on Selfgrowth.com is coming to an end.

My own readings had advised me from the very start not to take this step, but even I go against my own card readings from time to time!  Yes, as hard as that may be to believe, even those of us who should heed our own psychic insights, so often don’t.

I’d like to share here my thoughts on the experience (again, which was ill-advised by my own Psychic Love Doctor readings, perceived a year ago).

Selfgrowth.com is a decent enough website.  I can’t complain about the way it is handled nor the way it is operated.  It provides you with the opportunity to submit articles and links to your own website for free.

That’s always nice, right?

A plethora of information and self-help information is available on the website with a mere click of your mouse.  You can also choose to sell your wares, pontificate on just about any topic within the self-help realm that you desire. You don’t even have to use proper spelling, grammar or syntax as many Selfgrowth.com articles clearly demonstrate -  but that isn’t always such a bad thing.

As I said, it’s a decent enough website.

Selfgrowth.com is also a website that likes to make money.  And it accomplishes that mission extremely well by offering ‘experts’  in any given field the opportunity to become Official Guides as long as they each have $3000 to pay for that yearly position.

I bought in to be one of the Official Guides and the search engine boost for me has been phenomenal.  Not only in terms of receiving new clients – which proved to be huge – but also in the amount of email spam I received.  Sure, spam comes with the territory today no matter where you hang your Internet shingle.  That really didn’t turn me off.

What turned me off completely to the whole Selfgrowth.com experience as an Official Guide was how desperate so many other Official Guides were to try to get me to promotionally “piggyback” with them so they could sell their shtick.

It was as if they literally came out of the woodwork. I tried to ignore the majority with no response to their cloying advertising pleas. But so many came in that I finally started firing back.

My question to them was, “Wait a minute…if you are so good at what YOU do, why do you need ME to help you sell it?”

None of them ever had an answer to give me.

If such constant bombardment from other “Official Guides” wasn’t enough, the Selfgrowth.com staff tended to drive me a little crazy with an influx of email invitations.

“Come to this training session,” or “Do this to make your own Guide status here more profitable!”

I would email back, “No thank you, I’m too busy,” but it didn’t stop the onslaught of email from them.  In time, I just stopped reading any of it.

You know what? My suspicions are that these beseechings to  are really only intended to make Selfgrowth.com that much more profitable – not for the “Guides” per se, but for the Selfgrowth.com business itself.  And yes, these training sessions are free for Guides and yes, it can be advantageous for those who choose to participate.

But think about it.

If you have a successful website to start with, why would you want to badger your paying sponsors (Official Guides) to do “more” – if they are already successful enough to qualify as “experts” in the Guide category?

Realistically, you wouldn’t.

And you certainly wouldn’t want your “Official Guides” to be begging other “Guides” to help them out in selling their own products and services. These “experts” should be doing so well on their own that they don’t need to reach out in desperation to get others to boost you up.  Otherwise, what kind of expert is actually wearing that Guide hat?

Such questioning on my part caused me to stop participating.  Why put energy into something so shallow?

No qualifying standards: Anyone can be an Official Guide

I don’t discount that there are some actual experts featured and advertising on Selfgrowth.com; however, for there to be so many seemingly qualified experts teeming Selfgrowth.com’s pages seems highly unlikely. Consider that there is no standard to actually qualify you to be a Guide.

You’re told that you have an “awesome” website when the sales guy calls you on the phone and the email enticement you’re sent is sooo complimentary, telling you that you are “outstanding in your field” when you know that, yes, you’re good but let’s face it, very few are that good to be true “experts.”

When it comes to Selfgrowth.com, they don’t ask for samples of your work, they don’t make you work for it, they don’t examine your credentials in any way, shape or form.  I’ve worked as a content provider in my field for many major websites  and they all required each of these in order to qualify for placement on their sites.

With Selfgrowth.com, if  you have the funds to pay for your “guide-ship” ,  you are in.  And you have the freedom to do just about whatever you like with your little Guide corner given to you on Selfgrowth.com.

You do get a nice inbound link to your own website. That doesn’t hurt a bit…being sent a little “link love” from a major website with good Page Rank? Absolutely.

But there is a feeling about SelfGrowth.com that makes it seem like a glorified, well orchestrated Web ring – and I suspect that web crawlers in time will discover that these sites are, bottom line, really only selling artificial inbound links.  No matter how you dress it up or the kind of authoritative language you attach to it, a link bought and paid for is not the same as true link popularity from websites that earnestly want to give you that link, which will elevate your own website in terms of page rank overall.

That, plus those who give a reciprocal link back to their Guide area on Selfgrowth.com aren’t gaining much in terms of optimization.  Better to stick with true, quality inbound links that come without a price attached. Better to be your own expert in your own right without someone else selling  it to you.

So in conclusion, I’m abdicating my Official Guide status because:

  • I already have more than enough clients and repeat business to keep me happy for a good long while
  • I’m not the least bit desperate where I need to join forces with other Official Guides who come across as very desperate to ask me to help them sell their products and services
  • There is no actual standard or “excellence bar” on this website to determine what qualifies an expert to be an expert or it might have been a privilege to be a Guide on Selfgrowth.com

Hopefully this answers the questions many of you have posed to me in email about “why” I’m on Selfgrowth.com and whether or not this has been a good experience for me.

A good experience? Not so much, but then my own card readings previously advised me not to take this path, which I realize now is due to the fact that I would inevitably wish I hadn’t taken this path at all.

If Selfgrowth.com based its Official Guide program entirely on merit and expertise, that would be a different story.  It wouldn’t even matter having to put up three grand to be a part of it all.

However, the huge influx of pandering emails from other Guides to help them succeed and the Selfgrowth staff’s manipulations in their constant emails to make it seem as if they were “helping” instead of only trying to make the site for themselves that much more prosperous, made me realize this is not a place I want to be.

I have no ill feelings toward Selfgrowth.com. It just isn’t what I expect to be and I leave it disappointed – exactly as my card readings a year ago revealed I would be.

It just goes to show that I need to pay closer attention to my own Psychic Love Doctor readings for the future.
