Do you believe in fate or destiny?

Do you believe in Fate?

The answer greatly influences your life and will also influence the way you phrase questions for your reading.

   How much of your life is destined? How much is based on free choice? This is a long-debated topic with many opinions and theories.  Quantum physicists and mystics say that we create our lives with our thoughts, beliefs and words. This matches the current "new age" belief, as described in the movie "The Secret". Some people would say that  its your actions that change your life. Others would say all goes according to God's plan.

  Back in the 80's, in my 20's I had a teacher who was very wise. She told us that we each are born with a few possible paths we can choose from. She believed we had choices, but were somewhat limited to those few options.

  Others believe that we set up the over-all or at least the most important parts of our lives before we're born. We choose our parents, environment & experiences to suit the particular needs for our soul's evolution. We make soul contracts with others whom we will meet in our lifetime, having particular relationships and challenges with each, all for the purpose of learning.

  Then there's the concept of karma. Some define it as reward/punishment -based, others believe its a simply fact that action results in reaction. To complicate matters, some say every action results in both a positive and a negative reaction.

  Who is right? I certainly dont claim to have all the mysteries of the universe figured out. But I can say that, in my experience and that of my clients, the way that your life will unfold is based on a combination of these factors:

1) the type of parenting you received

2) how much emotional work you've done / how self-aware you are

3) prayer, creative visualization (see future articles on this or google it )

4) your choices

and  in my opinion, one of the most important factors, summed up in the following phrase that I coined myself-

"You're either problem-oriented or solution-oriented"

A problem-oriented person gets bogged down by self-doubt, hopelessness and confusion. They become paralyzed by their negative emotions until they can see no way out of their situation. They remain passive and stay in the situation. They tend to be fatalistic (believe in fate) therefore, they feel theres nothing they can do. They may believe they are "cursed", unlucky or that they have bad karma from a past life. As a solution-oriented person, I must say,the above may or may not be true, but there is a solution to everything, even bad karma. Retribution can be made through prayer,  through self-less service , volunteer work, etc.

A solution-oriented person may cry or feel hopeless, but they will move past these feelings. They decide to pull themselves up and turn on their problem-solving skills. They find solutions, make choices and take action. This type of person also tends to help others find solutions (Im one of them , which is why my clients and friends call me for help!)

  The good news is- you can LEARN to be solution-oriented. When I was younger, in my 20s and 30's, I was 2 things that I am not any longer. One was, I was fatalistic. This belief, whether based in truth or not, can be a dangerous and debilitating one. This belief is often the foundational belief of the problem-oriented person as mentioned above.  Even if your life was ruled by fate, there is still some "wiggle room" Think of all the things youve done, choices youve made, the times youve followed your intuition, and the times you havent. You DID have a choice.

I also used to be problem-oriented. I had a victim mentality and much self-pity. Some of this was justified as I did have a very abusive childhood. But over the years and through much emotional work I have let go of that and decided to have a good life. I have CHOSEN not to allow the negativity to control me. You can choose too.

What kind of life do you want? Are you not deserving? Are you not a child of God? Take control of your life, pray, visualize, make choices, and take ACTION. 

How to get the best psychic reading

How to get the best psychic reading

Want to get the most out of your reading? Your environment and state of mind can influence the quality of the connection you make with your psychic.

Here are some tips to prepare yourself beforehand. (Some will seem obvious but
believe it or not I once was reading for a client and heard dishes in the back-ground. She admitted she was washing dishes as we spoke! )

1) Take a few minutes before your reading to stop what you were doing, switch gears, slow down your mind and relax.

2) Set your appointment for a time when there will be no interruptions. Will there be kids screaming, dogs barking or neighbors showing up?

3) Aim for a day when you are not heavily scheduled, so you will be able to relax and enjoy your reading.

4) If its impossible to find alone-time, consider getting a baby-sitter so you can be in your car, at a quiet park, or at a friend's house while they're at work.

5) Don't have the tv or music on. Dont do chores or anything else during your reading

6) Have some idea of the questions or categories you want to explore

7) Have paper and pen handy to take notes.

8) If you're getting a Tarot reading, consider writing down just the card and card positions. This way you can enjoy the reading, really connect with/hear the psychic, get the basic answer youre seeking,  and look up exact meanings later, if you choose to/are interested.

9) Keep in  mind, whatever answers or insights you receive, your life is your own and only you can decide whether to leave that relationship, take that job, move across country. We can only tell you what we see. What you choose to do with the information is your choice. There is no right or wrong choice, though one path may be harder than another, but we learn and grow from everything!

  Remember that the quality of the attention and the energy you bring to the reading will influence the quality of the connection you make with your psychic and the quality of the answers you receive.

Comfort for the grieving / Medium reading

    If you've lost a loved one you may find this post comforting.
One of my closest friends, Adrian,  passed on sunday night (May 18th).  I had called her about a week before. It turns out that I called the day before her health took a sudden down-turn and she was unable to communicate.
  A few days later, I got a call saying she was in bad shape. My first thought was "lung cancer"  though no one knew as she wouldnt allow them to do any tests on her. She was always so stubborn !
  I asked my mom, who is psychic and also a medium to get info for me as I was too emotionally involved to trust my own intuition on this. Her first thought, before going into "trance" was "pancreatic cancer, 3 months" This was the phrase that popped into her head. However, she and I trust her trance state more, so she went and did that for me.
  She saw my friend Adrian's mother, one grandmother and her dog who had passed in the 80's. This made sense to me based on what I knew about her family. My mom asked them what was going on. They said "Brain cancer, 3 weeks." Mom  called me back with this news, hating to have to be the bearer of bad news of course, but I already felt my friend was near the end anyway. I just wanted confirmation. When she told me "cancer" I knew it was right as I had sensed cancer also. But I didnt agree that she had 3 weeks. I felt it would be a week or less, though it didnt make sense logically. She'd had no symptoms except for some  trouble eating on and off for 2 months before. But I just knew.
  It turns out that the "3" was actually 3 days, not weeks or months. I was not surprised when I got the call. I have cried, but surprisingly little. Its hard to cry when you know that they're with loved ones & in a better place (she was bed-ridden for approximately the last 5 yrs of her life) .
  Please remember that we are only "loaned" to each other for a time.  Death is part of the deal and can come suddenly, so be with those you love most and say what you feel, NOW!  Dont wait.
  My turn with my friend is over for now and she is with others who have been without her, waiting for her. Find comfort in the fact that you will see your loved ones again, including pets. Meanwhile, remember that they would want you to have a full and happy life, so live it, knowing that you will be together again. In the meanwhile, know they are around you. I pray that you will feel their presence and that you will meet in your dreams !

Haunting, Possession, Entities- Protection Advice

  I get calls occasionally from people in spiritual crisis, namely, they feel that there is a negative energy or entity around them or in their home. Often, they feel threatened and their children and pets are being terrorized. I have been there in the past and understand the fear and the feeling of having no help.
I was not brought up religious so had no tools to deal with this. I had to find my own way, navigate through it. I learned much and now can help others.
  The advice I give is always this:
1) google "invoke Archangel Michael" . Choose the invocation that you prefer (there will be a few versions).
2) Invoke Michael at least 2x per day and teach your kids how to also. Be sure to ask for protection for all people, animals and the spirits of your ancestors also.
3) Keep in mind this powerful, easy and fast prayer and use it when you feel threatened/feel a presence in the moment, in an acute situation/no time for a  long prayer. Simply state firmly and aloud- "In the name of Jesus, Satan be gone !"
Whether you're religious, Christian or not, this will work. Everything harmful or evil HAS to leave.
4) Call local metaphysical shops & centers in your area. Or go to meetup.com . You need to find groups/people in your area who have experience dealing with these issues. They will be able to advise you and do a house cleansing/blessing. You need support. Isolation is NOT advisable.
5) While you seek help, continue invocations morning and night at the least.
6) Go to Youtube.com.  and search " frequency to raise your vibration" "frequency for protection" "the violet flame " "archangel michael invocation" "st germain invocation" . Make a playlist of these and others suggested if you like. Play it at least once per day, if not all day long. You may also play your list on low volume while sleeping. Play in kids rooms and near pet beds also.
7) Google "psychic protection" "protect yourself and home from evil" protect home from hauntings" "feng shui cure for haunting/ghosts" etc Theres a lot out there.

DO NOT-
1) focus on, discuss or try to figure out who this entity is or why theyre here. Ask for protection from them and for them to be removed, period.
2) question your kids. If there truly is an entity, you need to pull together. Not being supportive with your kids will make them more vulnerable and they may even draw closer to the entity ("if you cant beat them , join them") Tell them there are good & bad things in the world and not all can be seen with the eyes, but also tell them good is stronger than evil, God is stronger, etc and tell them about Archangel Michael- empower them with a simplified, easy- to- remember invocations

KEEP IN MIND - alcohol , drugs, illness and lack of sleep weaken the aura and make you more vulnerable. Take good care of yourself at this time!

Here's my own version of an invocation. It covers every base:
Archangel Michael, I invoke you in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. I ask for your protection for myself,  my family, my pets, my ancestors in spirit and all animals and people in on and around this home and property, and  also those who cross or visit this property. Protect us and also all inanimate objects in , on and around this property. Protect us from all evil and harmful energies and entities from all times, places and dimensions. Protect us throughout all time place and dimension. Thank you.  In the name of the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit, it is done.
  I do this prayer every morning before I do any readings.
 God Bless You

Ending a relationship- lover or friend

  Well,  the last few weeks have been very intense for most of us.  There were major astrological influences such as full moon, super moon, a cardinal cross (see astrology sites for more on these) around Christmas, New years and beyond. Many of us were having "drama" in relationships, or re-evaluating them. I was very busy w/calls for readings on this topic.
  I personally had to let go of a friend. She was not very conscious of her childhood issues which tended to "come out" around food, parties and holidays. When confronted on this, she denied it. It was too painful for her to see how little progress had been made regarding these issues.
  Do you have a person in your life who "acts crazy"/ lashes out inappropriately and doesn't acknowledge that there's a problem? If he/she is unconscious/unwilling to take responsibility and attempt to make changes in their behavior, it may be time to walk away. Its sometimes hard to, as we may want to help the person, but first they would need to be able to see that there IS a problem.
  Meanwhile, if their neurosis, moodiness, or whatever you want to call it, is acted out on you in a destructive manner (verbal abusive, psychological abuse/game-playing or worse), you need to go. They need professional help and you are not qualified nor obligated to stay and be abused.
 Tell them what you see/what they're doing in a gentle, non-blaming way, and encourage them to get help.
Walk away, then pray for them, as I continue to pray for my friend.

People with mother issues/food issues

Do u have a friend w/issues around food? This is usually related to mother issues. If you find yourself nerve-wracked on your way to share a meal w/this person, and u find yourself walking on eggshells whenever theres food involved, you have navigated, successfully or not, The Culinary Minefield. If you choose to traverse it again, I wish you sensitive and nimble feet. May God walk with you, or carry you across!

Synchronicity. Jewish Voice For Peace. Channelling Life Purpose/ Soul Purpose

       Very interesting synchronicity

  Back in 199I channeled much fascinating information.
I had access to what's called the "Akashic Records". This is the record of everything that's ever happened/will happen and everyone who's ever lived/will be born.  I was able to ask whatever I wanted and get the answer.  There are many things I will never tell publicly as they are sacred to me and may draw negative energy/responses
/ nay-sayers. "Don't throw pearls before swine" as they say! 
  One of the things I asked was to know my life purpose, or soul purpose. I will tell part of the answer here, because I  think you will find it interesting, especially if you've experienced synchronicities in your own life. One of the reasons I'm here, I was told, is to work toward world peace. When I was told this, it rang true and  it moved me to tears. Peace/ anti-war is a subject close to my heart.
  I was told that this soul purpose was somehow connected to the Jewish people/race. This rang true/felt right also as I had always felt a kinship with Jews ( though as far as I know I have no Jewish in me. I'm Irish, Italian, German and English)
  Ive never been able to recall the details/what the connection was between Jews and world peace. I was not "allowed" to write anything down during or after this channeling session. In fact, I was made to forget for years. I was told I would remember as I needed to/when I was ready to.
  So I have recalled bits and pieces over the years. Many details came to the surface in November 02 (or 03?) when 7 planets lined up in Taurus (my sun sign)
   Then, more recently, onTuesday Nov 26 2013 , I was driving w/a friend through the city of Albuquerque. There was a billboard calling for people to encourage government to spend money helping people in Albuquerque instead of giving money to Israel for the purpose of occupying Palestine. At the bottom of the billboard it said "jvp.org" or jvp-abq.org" and "Jewish Voices for Peace."
  It didn't dawn on me that this was a sign, literally, (ha! a billboard) until today, when I got an email from, guess who? Jvp.org! It wasn't the Albuquerque chapter, but the national one I suppose. They were talking about peace, etc and asking for a small donation to help their cause. I was not on their email list so its a mystery how they found me/emailed me.
  I take this as a major sign that I am to get involved in this organization and I KNOW its time for me to move into this part of my destiny.
LOVE to all people, all countries, all of God's children!
  Please share your own stories of synchronicity, signs, soul purpose and any others you think my readers would find interesting or inspiring.
Please, no political debates! We all have our path to walk. Judge not.
