Can you breathe under water?

As I lay in my hot deep bath, trying to make my body as weightless as possible, without sinking and getting my hair soaked (I cheat and push a toe against the tap); I try to re-capture the feeling of my dreams. That I can breathe under water.

Have you ever had this? The feeling that if you were to drown you would just relax and go with the flow………..

As I turned the corner in my PSYCHIC DEVELOPMENT I became increasingly more and more curious about my life path, my destiny and how to switch the so called PSYCHIC switch we are all supposed to possess on/off at will. My dreams were more noticeable to me. The mere fact of how much detail I could remember, even days, weeks or months afterwards made them stick in my mind. Especially the ones were I can breath under water!

Questions, questions! Researching for answers and understanding, then more questions. Unbelievable. My brain was far to busy to fit in a little MEDITATION time to get the answers mind you. But still, I suppose the long way round is always the way I’ll choose.

If I remember rightly, it was around the time that my curiosity was being drawn towards the OUIJA BOARD, and around the time of constantly hearing my name being called, but yet no one was there! The exact same time I realised that if we are all here for a reason I want to get to work to find out what I’m here to do.

In between these strange goings on, my being able to breath under water dream became much more frequent and memorable. Obviously, there’s a message in there somewhere but there was no way I was cracking it. I looked in all the DREAM books.

Did you know that a meaning in a dream book is only relevant to the person who’s writing it or whoever wants to claim that meaning for them?
I didn’t.

For example, I kept dreaming of OWLS. The largest type you can get. Are they ‘the eagle owl’ correct me in comments if I’m wrong. And one particular dream was with my little boy. I wanted to take him up to the owl to show him it was almost the same size as him and to stroke it if he could.

Well each time for me, I interpret an OWL in my dream as learning and knowledge but the other week I remembered and looked it up. It said Bad Fortune or Illness. Well I can honestly say that it didn’t sit right with me. And there was nothing that stood out in my personal life at that time that could back it up. So, dreams are symbols (I always dream in animals) and that’s why they tell you to keep a journal of your DREAMS because that way you can write the significant symbol down and when you next dream of it you know what your subconscious is trying to communicate to you.

As for my being able to breath under water dream, well I was later to find out by a fancy ‘Dream Psychologist’ that to dream a dream like this suggests that the dreamer is exploring their SUBCONSCIOUS and PSYCHIC ABILITY.

It’s funny; I haven’t had a dream like that for ages now but I’ll always remember the feeling I got whilst having them.

A warm, weightless floating feeling.

To re-create it properly I have to turn onto my front in the bath, relax completely and then hold my nose just barely on top of the steamy water. So close if I was to sniff I’d probably suck up the water. When I’ve got it just right I just can’t explain how it feels, just relaxing, maybe it’s the smell ….. I can’t put my finger on it. But it’s the oddest sensation and the closest thing to what I feel in those dreams.

I’d love to know if anyone else has had these kinds of dreams or if they’ve carried out their own weird experiments. By the lack of posts, I’ll get the hint. Seek HELP!

Until next time,
All lathered up & lovely,

A significant sign from Spirit

Everyone has a guide walking by their side, protecting them and guiding them along their chosen life path. Because we can’t hear them speak to us because of the loud hustle and bustle of our world they have to find various ways to communicate to us. By this I mean them showing us a sign from spirit.

 

Everyone gets them. They are little tokens of love, a way of letting you know that a loved one is by your side, a sign to put a smile on your face when you know it’s from them to you.

 

You may say “I never get a little sign from spirit”. But I bet you do. You just need to know what it is that you are looking for. Generally, it will always be the same thing. This is your way of recognising that it is meant for you. Let me explain a little better.

 

For me, I am always sent LOVE HEARTS. Always. I’ve probably always received them but my life and mind were far to busy to see and acknowledge them. 

 

I’ve really only started to notice them and acknowledge they are a gift from Spirit about 18mths ago. I was going through a real lull in my life; I had major decisions that needed to be made. The kind that would change my life dramatically.

 

This one particular day, I was in my local fruit & veg shop choosing singular potatoes. As I searched through to find the sizes that I wanted the first one I chose was in the shape of a large love heart. As soon as I picked it up I got the message "keep it, it’s a present from the spirit world."

 

As sad as it may sound, I did keep it. I kept it so long that it had shoots sprouting from it and in the end it was so soft it didn’t look like anything, only ready for the bin. But from then on they were too frequent.  I couldnt help but take pictures of the most funniest perculiar places they would show up!

I can remember most of the times that I have received my love hearts and each time they make me smile! One time I spilt some Coke-Cola on my cream carpet and the spill mark landed in the shape of a heart (that one I got rid of, luckily). Sat in my garden, I looked up at the sky and the cloud was in the ring shape of a love heart. It stayed in it’s shape for the whole time I was in the garden.

The most recent heart sent to me was only the other day. I’d been thinking about writing this blog and wished that I’d taken a picture of the love hearts I’d been sent. Well, funny enough, then next day as I poured my cleanser into the cotton wool; when I looked I had a perfect love heart sent to me. I grabbed my camera straight away.

 

An example of someone else’s sign from spirit are from my neighbour over in Spain. I was collecting experience stories from people and Anne told me of hers.

Her sister died, they were really close and had connections with the White Feather Sanctuary.  Anne was obviously devastatedwhen her sister passed last year. But every now and then Anne will find a large single white feather. Once she found one lying of her bed. With no logical explanation on how it could have got in there. But Anne’s most recent feather was a couple of months ago. She had gone in to clean and open up the pub that she owned and it was coming close to the anniversary of her sister. When Anne looked at the framed signed football shirt that had been given to her sister, there resting in the corner of the frame was a single large white feather.

 

I was curious to know did she keep the feathers or what happens to them. She said she never keeps them, she doesn’t even touch them. She will just leave them and then they just disappear in their own time without a trace of where they could of gone.

So, take your time to look out for your special sign from spirit. You’re already half way there, by acknowledging that you are ready to accept a gift from spirit.  And remember, when you do start to notice a little something and realise you’ve seen it a few times before; if it’s meant for you then you wont mistake the feeling of knowing it is meant for you. Say thank you and accept your token of love.

Happy searching and I guarantee once you start to receive them you will be ‘Smiling From Within’.

Take care,

Have you received a significant sign from Spirit? I’d love to hear of other peoples little tokens of love. All posts are responded to.

Energy Vibrations - What's Ur Cosmic Etheric?

The energy that you take in originates from cosmic energy. This energy vibration is the life force that underlies your ability to breath, eat, grow, have feelings and to think.

The Physical energy from food and drink is just part of the energy that sustains us in life.

Both cosmic and physical energies are types of etheric or ‘life-supporting’ energies. While food provides the physical, or metabolic etheric energy, life itself depends on cosmic etheric energy.

IN-STREAM

The intake of cosmic energy depends partly on your genetic tendencies: you are born with a capacity to welcome the outside world or to turn your back on it. Your experiences as a child and an adolescent also have a strong influence on this in-stream of energy. If you as an individual have been fully accepted for what you are, then you will be open to the cosmic, life-giving energies that surround you.

Cosmic energy streams into happy people more than it does to those who are sad. In denying themselves their own happiness, sad people also deny themselves the strength and vitality that could support and replenish them.

OUT-STREAM

The out-stream of energy depends on how well your own expressions of energy are met by others. If others try to curb these energies in you, then you may suffer from depression and frustration. The free flow of your energy includes the ability to express yourself freely, and not to be constantly undermined.

See my other postings on colours and their meanings for ideas on what colours you can use in breathing exercises to help with the cleansing of particular areas of your life & body; or for connecting deeper with your subconscious.

Remember, when you breath out & breath in, the colour you visualize

is the colour your 'Smiling From Within'

Until next time, take care

Sitting Under The Rainbow With - Erma Bombeck

Sitting Under The Rainbow With.... Is a new piece that I am introducing. When I find people who are interesting, with their own life experience to add. Erma Bombeck was a lovely lady, respected and cherished by many.

Sadly, she was diagnosed with Cancer and before she come to the end of her battle with the dreaded disease she did as most of us would; an honest reflection of her life and the changes she would make if it were possible to live her life over.

When I received the email containing the thoughts of Erma Bombeck it reminded me instantly of my earlier post, 'Be Careful What You Wish For' . Where I cover the fact of, why is it that we always wait until a near death experience before we make the necessary changes in our life.

IF I HAD MY LIFE TO LIVE OVER - by Erma Bombeck

********************************************************

I would have gone to bed when I was sick instead of pretending the earth would go into a holding pattern if I weren't there for the day.

I would have burned the pink candle sculpted like a rose before it
melted in storage.

I would have talked less and listened more.

I would have invited friends over to dinner even if the carpet was stained, or the sofa faded.

I would have eaten the popcorn in the 'good' living room and worried much less about the dirt when someone wanted to light a fire in the fireplace.

I would have taken the time to listen to my grandfather ramble
about his youth.

I would have shared more of the responsibility carried by my husband.

I would never have insisted the car windows be rolled up on a summer day because my hair had just been teased and sprayed.

I would have sat on the lawn! With my grass stains.

I would have cried and laughed less while watching television and more while watching life.

I would never have bought anything just because it was practical, wouldn't show soil, or was guaranteed to last a lifetime.

Instead of wishing away nine months of pregnancy, I'd have cherished every moment and realized that the wonderment growing inside me was the only chance in life to assist God in a miracle.

When my kids kissed me impetuously, I would never have said, 'Later. Now go get washed up for dinner.' There would have been more
'I love yous'; more 'I'm sorry's.'

But mostly, given another shot at life, I would seize every minute...look at it and really see it.. Live it and never give it back.
STOP SWEATING THE SMALL STUFF!!!

Don't worry about who doesn't like you, who has more, or who's doing what
Instead; let's cherish the relationships we have with those who do love us.

Let's think about what God HAS blessed us with, and what we are doing each day to promote ourselves mentally, physically, and emotionally.
I hope you have a blessed day .

She ends her heart felt life reflection with,

'Friends are quiet angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly.'

How many of those reflections could you agree with? How many are you going to take action to change, today?

Until next time,

How Big Is Your Imagination?

Daydreaming. It's such a lovely word. Whenever I say it I feel like I want to melt into a big fluffy cloud and float around, letting my imagination ponder over all the nice things in my life.

And then reality kicks in and your smack bang in the middle of the grey dreary here and now. Where everyone is rushing around with their barriers up and their back stabbing protection gear on because they just dont know who to trust these days; better off not trusting anyone then!  And so, the cycle continues, only to get worse.

Almost everybodies waiting for the Sun to come out. It eases their touch of SAD SYNDROME. Once the Sun comes out those little faces cant help but smile (in between moaning about how hot it is).

People start lazying on the grass in the parks, chilling, slowing down the pace. Reading and submerging into a fantasy world between the pages. Or just simply lying back and watching planes jetting off to far away lands; pushing the clouds into another funny animal-like shape.

This is when our powerful mind is at its most psychic. This is when you should let it run wild with your imagination shaping your ideal life, in an ideal world.

What if you could wake up tomorrow and start to live it for real?

Would you be in the job you are doing right now?

Where would you be living?

What's the first thing you would change,
to make your NEW life complete?

Imagine, that you could stand outside your own body and view how you're living your life. Do you think, looking from the outside in, that you would say you are on the right track?

If you can then you are lucky enough to be harmonizing with your 'Higher Self'. Whether you already know this or not.

But what if you had the ability to see your life from above, seeing the bigger picture of where your life is heading right now?  Would you step back into your body and keep walking the same path or would you immediately start living your life for today and not worrying about tomorrow.

Why is it we only start to do this when we've had a near death experience. When we feel we have been given a second chance to live our life.  Or if we have lost someone close, making us value the time we have left.

Our lives are exactly what our imagination wants it to be, a movie in our own mind. With YOU as the starring role.............
Looking good, foot loose and fancy free, not to mention 'Smiling From Within'.

Be Careful What You Wish For

The deeper and deeper I explore into the psychic world, the more and more it all links back to the subconscious mind. Or deeper still, the superconscious, openly refered to as 'The Higher Self'.

It throws so many questions up, especially for me because as I travel along the path to becoming a medium I am being thrown deeper into first having to understand the powers of the mind. Feeling utter respect for the psychologists, they've put so much work into giving us facts on how our mind works. It's heavy stuff but so fascinating.

Basically, whatever you think will be. Well, that's not true because I've thought loads of things, good and bad they haven't happened. But have they? If you were to write down what you want and date it, how long would it be before you could cross it off your list? Probably ages because this alone still isn't enough. The trick or art is to send the thought out and know deep in your heart that you will get what you want.

We are all guilty of leading our lives from such a negative point of view that to really be positive and 'Smiling From Within' is a hard, if not impossible thing to do. Day in, day out, you're not allowed to worry about anything just live your life knowing that everything will always work out for the best. Not living your life in fear and doubts of what your future may bring.

Some of you may say, I don't worry about that anyway, I don't waste time thinking about it I just get on with my life. And that's brilliant if that's you. What's the point, worrying doesn't make things better only worse according to this rule. Although, can you honestly say you don't get down about anything in your life. Are you completely happy with how things are going, or could it be better?

Well, according to the hundreds of sites out there we have the magic wand right inside our minds and anytime we want to start living the life we were meant to we can tap it and tap into an abundance of everything, all of the time.

Yes, there is a catch! And it all leads back to the famous MEDIATION yet again. I am the worlds worst at meditating. Although, no one is any good at it unless they are disciplined enough to practice it daily or as often as possible. Learning to still your mind and then being able to receive messages from 'The Higher Self' on guidance, creative ideas, answers to problems and sat nav directions to the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

So, GOOD LUCK in finding your magic wand (I'm still looking for mine) and creating your perfect world. As for me I'm off to Spain to relax on the beach, and practice getting in touch with my Spirit Guides.

Truly 'Smiling From Within'

We're All Born With A Life Plan

Everyone is born with a Life Plan. This plan is one that you agreed to follow when you were a spirit on a higher level before your birth. Your parents were also chosen so that you are placed with the right people to help you along with your life plan (whatever your story about parents and your life so far). It is planned in such a way to cover other areas that your previous incarnation couldn't carry out, hopefully giving you further advancement of your Spirit. It is the reason we are put on this Earth.

Some may argue that they make their own decisions and choices and it’s impossible that our lives are already mapped out. Yes your life is already mapped out but the point of it is, the lessons that you learn along the way. The reason for people saying that we have loads of re-incarnations is because there are so many lessons to be learnt and a particular healthy body and active life couldn't learn the same lessons of someone who is less able bodied or chronically ill throughout their life.

This is why when you have a proper horoscope (not general from the paper) reading then it can tell you exactly what type of character you are and how you handle situations. If you look into the various TOOLS available to the Psychics they are able to use things such as your date of birth as your Life Plan code. It's why it seems funny that a combination of various tools will still point to being your character and give similar examples of your strengths and weaknesses.

Of course we all have our own free will, being able to make our own choices and some of those decisions can completely ruin the plan. Destroying what might have been your destiny. But, since the plan is for you to experience certain lessons and for another chance of using your collected knowledge, then many situations can be “tweaked” from behind the scenes to re-direct you to a suitable path to continue learning your lesson.

This is where the help of our spirit guides (they chose to be by our side throughout our journey) and guardian angels (who are with us from the moment we are born, watching over us and making note of all we are up to) comes into play. Coincidences and the perfect back doors of “it’s not what you know it’s who you know”. Also, once we develop enough to be able to recognise and listen to our intuition/ inner higher self then we can start to pick up pace and hopefully stop making the same mistakes that we continuously know we do.

Also in place are Spiritualists, Mediums and Psychic Clairvoyants. It is their role to be available to give guidance and understanding as our ‘Spirit’ advances through its journey. You need to have someone to turn to who is able to make sense of what you’re experiencing. For example, when it gets confusing to know (or feel) what way to go when you have come to a cross roads in your life. When it is important to make the right decision where a major decision is needed. Their role is to use their ability to help others view the options and outcome of different choices taken.

So, what’s it all about then?
The aim is to make everyone get along together and to love each other unconditionally. For us to use our personal power to create a life that we shouldn't only have to go to heaven to be able to experience. (Good luck, we all shout in unison.) Well, no one is saying that it’s an easy task or that you will even live to see it become a reality but wouldn’t it make things that little bit easier if more people were a pleasure to know and to be around.

Not having to think about people doing us wrong, having to keep our guard up. The best we can do to get close to this, is to control the people we have up around us and in our lives and all take responsibility for our own actions. Treating people how we want to be treated. This is why like attracts like and we only attract people who are on the same vibrational level as us. If you mix with people that aren’t really good for you, unless you can wake up and acknowledge that fact and make the break you will always be stuck at that vibrational level. You won’t be able to advance spiritually. Moving up the vibrational spiritual growth ladder is why we out grow people and relationships. It is what we are here to do. To become Spiritually advanced.

Truly believing that we are here to enjoy life to the best of our ability, is the exact feeling of ‘Smiling From Within’.

How To Describe An Energy Vibration

We are all Psychic and possess Psychic abilities, it doesn't matter if we are interested in that kind of thing or not. What makes us different is that we are all just on different levels. Once you can learn to recognise what you are experiencing, then it becomes easier than you think to train for psychic development. Here are some ways of working with energy.

The best way to describe an Energy Vibration would be, to think of your emotional self, your feelings. The sense that something will turn out the way you knew it would. It's what you use when you tell your friend to trust you, it's all going to work out just fine.

An example of the human eye being able to see energy would be, to hold a hand up with outstretched fingers to the light of day. When your eyes are focused properly you should be able to see a second outline following around the exact shape of your hand.

I've been trying to rack my brain to find how to put into words what it looks like to the untrained eye. The only way I could describe it would be (work with me here). Have you watched Terminator 2, where the second Terminator who's the Cop, turns into that Silver Liquid. Well its kind of like the invisible stage of that but a thin line around your hand. Feel fee to comment and correct me on the terminology I'm using so I can pass on the correct facts.

A leaf is also used as this example as all living things have Auras. To the trained eye this line and so much more appears in colours. Your body raidiates colours that are constantly changing to coincide with your current mood, health, character and so on.

A way of showing you how to feel energy vibrations is by trying this little exercise. Remember though, if you dont get anything then practice it, remember to relax first and keep your mind open. Every one is psychic they just need to develop what they have.

• Hold both palms out stretched just in front of you. Elbows at your waist . Turn hands inwards facing palm to palm. Keeping them about 25cm apart.

• Now rub both palms together continuously for about 15-30seconds. Place yours arms back to the start position and then slowly bring them together. Bring them as close together as you can without them touching.

• Keep going until you feel any kind of slight resistance. The best way to describe this energy vibration is like when you put two magnets together. You may get to about an inch apart or nothing. Keep trying .

Once you do feel it, play with it. See how far apart you can take your palms before you stop feeling it and again how it feels when you push against the resistance. The in and out movement of the hands causes the energy surrounding them to accumulate between them, making it easier for you to feel. The hands are becoming more sensitive to the subtle energies.

This is called 'Working with Energy' and its one of the very first stages on developing your psychic abilities.

So now you have few things you can work with to help with your own psychic development. Have fun and keep 'Smiling From Within'.

Ouija Board: Update & Conclusion

Since writing about my experience with the Ouija board. I started to get that old familiar curiosity pull, and had to get it back out again. I needed to understand the subconscious element properly.

I felt that the door wasn't closed on that subject properly. The reason that I left it before was because I was in too much conflict with myself, as I was learning to adjust to another perspective and understanding.

Sometimes, when your caught up in the middle of a learning=realization moment everything seems a blur. Until you can look back in hindsight and evaluate everything to get more clarity on your answer.

The whole path is learning and even today new things are being found out about the capabilities of the brain. You are just a host traveling along for the ride, going about your everyday things. The brain all ready knows everything and lets you know when you are ready to handle the information given to you.

I think once I got to the realization that I was connecting with my deep sub-conscious I had to shift my way of thinking a little. Maybe, it was too easy for me to go on the board and assume it was a spirit that I would be contacting.

So, my conclusion to this exploration is:
That it's a board (obviously), to be used light heartedly for making a rare connection to your deep dark Subconscious mind.

The caution that should come with it is, the mind is a powerful thing. It will, if it wants to, make you do or see anything it wants to.

What other ways can your intuition talk to you if you don't sit taking time out to meditate or if your not sensitive towards vibrations. You need to practice being able to hear, receive correctly and follow the guidance of your inner self. Just because your not interested in things psychic, it doesn't mean your intuition isn't trying to tell you something.

It doesn't matter whether your a sceptic and look at things with a logical explanation and self motivation along, just a road and then that's it. Or whether you acknowledge, at least that there are somethings that can't be passed off with a logical explanation. Just because you can't see it doesn't mean it's not real.

Some people have the strength to motivate themselves. Others draw comfort in a little guidance, to confirm what they are generally already thinking to help gain, a little clarity.

No matter what perspective that we view our journey in life, we are all working towards the same thing. To be true to ourselves and have a healthy, happy and meaningful life.

Remember, how can you truly smile on the outside if your not 'Smiling From Within'.

The Ouija Board Became Very Addictive

When I finally got my hands on my own , I knew all the stigma that went with them. I didn't care. But, I wasn't expecting for the Ouija board to become very addictive.

There were loads of times me and my friend Marco, a fellow Psychic Explorer, would make homemade Ouija boards. Trying with all our mystical powers that we had to get it to work. But nothing. We were shocked. Of all the people we thought that it should definitely work for us, two true believers. At one point were even scrapping the glass around on the mirror saying,

"Come on then spirits show your selves. If this is annoying you then show us a scary sign to make us stop."

Nothing. Rubbish. We couldn't work out how to make it work. So we spent the rest of the evening reciting stories of people who say it has worked for them and vow never to touch one again.

And as luck would have it (years later) my mum, a psychic clairvoyant, finally decided to hand her board over to me. After me begging and persuading that would I swear to be responsible with it.

Something that I find with my psychic development is that sometimes it feels as if I've not really been doing anything with developing my abilities and then other times I'll start feeling the old curiosity pull again. I'm in one of those times now, I want to try something new. It's like I want to know more about it all and learn what level I can take it to. It's exciting.

So, as you can imagine when I started to feel the pull of the Ouija board I couldn't contain my excitement. I got everything ready (helping me to mentally get in the right frame of mind). Made sure I'd have no interruptions, pen & pad of paper (hopefully they will like to chat, like me!). After I've done the CLOAK OF PROTECTION I would then say a little pray of protection around my room, and my home. Also stating that I will not accept any bad entities or I'll close the link.

Sitting on the floor with my fingers on the planchette. I'll never forget it, my heart was starting to beat faster. I don't mind admitting I was getting scared. Or more to the point my imagination running wild was scaring me.

"Do you know what you're doing and what to do if it all goes wrong?".

"You were warned don't mess with things you don't know."

"You are on your own, what if something bad does happen?".

I thought I could feel the planchette starting to move. My hairs stood up and I had to stop. I obviously wasn't ready.

Not long passed before I was at the board again. Same ritual. I'd had a word with my imagination and answered it's doubts. I'm protected. I have a Door Keeper. Everyone does, right from birth. They are by our sides looking out for us and helping us along our way.

I relaxed and waited. It wasn't long before there was a little movement. My heart fluttered but I was ready this time. As the planchette moved about sometimes it would spell words, other times it would spell words that didn't make sense. It would start a sentance as though you were getting a meaningful message then spell nothing words.

Then it started getting like I was either guessing the next letter or I would know the word but not the sentence. I started thinking, this is too much. It's feels like I'm sat talking to myself, which felt really strange. I really questioned every side of it. I couldn't tell what was me and what might have been a spirit. It really did start to become addictive. It got to the point where I could be sat anywhere with it (t.v on, which I know isn't the right conditions but I can automatically go into the right awareness), I only had to put my hand down and the planchette would start to move. I was stuck though. I needed other people to help me. How could I ask a question and not know the answer, other than asking a random question that I'm not going to find out anyway.

I collected questions from friends. Some of the answers where true and some not. But the mind is an amazing thing. Just because you can't remember what someone has told you it doesn't mean that it hasn't been log in the old database of unregistered info.

I mentioned to a medium one day that I'd been using the Ouija Board. (You feel really naughty telling people. Its like "Oh, what are you doing playing around with that for.") When I said of my dilemma about I just feel like I'm talking and answering myself back and it seems pointless.

Her advise to me was (back to meditation) to learn to block out the everyday things. When you sit down to the board you must know that everything from now on, in this session is not the every day world. Practice meditation and learn to connect properly to your Spirit Guide so then when you start, you automatically have that link.

Since then I haven't really used the board, I couldn't take it seriously. And maybe that's the point, you're not meant to!

Remember when you feel a fluttering in your chest it's your heart 'Smiling From Within'.

Don't Mess With What You Don't Know

It's no joke when you are beginning to dabble in the unknown areas of the Spirit world and that of the Paranormal. And it's no joke when people pass on the warning of don't mess with what you don't know. There are so many stories of people using Ouija boards. The majority of those that have had an experience with with one vow never to touch one again. Which was lucky for me, as my mum Crystal Clear International Psychic Clairvoyant was one of those people and that's how I inherited (to my delight and begging) my own board. But that's another story!

Psychics run in my family, I've been practicing and slowly developing for years. Old Granny Smith from Northern Ireland, God Bless Her Soul, she was going to seances, reading tea leaves, good old fashion fire reading and not forgetting the hair raising tales of banshees. This gift was then passed down to my mum who at the age of just 12 years old saw a face in the fire of a man and then two days later answered the door to him. I've been around this type of mystic and enchanting way all my life. But I think the reason I feel I must write this blog is to state it again. Please don't mess with what you don't know. I've had a weird, experience at the beginning end of my experimenting back then and I've had my telling off from the late Charles Samways of Vivash Road Spiritualist Church. " You shouldn't practice unless your accompanied by someone who is developing you, anything can happen."

I'll willingly describe my experiences, explain and help you to find your vibrational pull. I'll pick out some of the better Psychic development exercises for you to work with at your will. I'll find interesting areas of the unexplained for us to explore.

NOT U.F.O's. That's one area that 'Smiling From Within' doesn't cover.

All I ask is that, if you carry out any psychic development of your own that you treat every aspect of it with the up most of respect. It doesn't matter what you know already, what you have heard or even if you have doubts to there being more to this life. If your eyes are wide open and you clear all your inhibitions then you will open up to your own experiences.

CLOAK OF PROTECTION

If you always imagine a brilliant white blanket or cloak wrapped around you. You could add, all snug and warm too! When you feel you've bathed enough in the brilliant light then (mentally keeping the cloak around you) you are ready to begin. And when you have finished, sit for a moment bathing in the brilliant white light. Use this moment to recognize how at peace you feel. When you are ready (mentally visualize) removing the cloak until the next time. Don't forget to put it somewhere so it wont get creased!!!

For such a small act you will have pulled so many of the necessary vibrations into line.

Don't expect to see a miracle. Even I get frustrated sometimes. I feel all geared up and ready to work with my Spirit Guides, and I get nothing. I check my handbook. No, no they definitely don't get days off, they should be working today! Sometimes, you can be too eager. Concentrating or focusing too much. And psychic development is exactly that, learning. Little brainteasers, problem solving and learning the art of using all of your senses, everything pulled in together to bring you into your center within. It's only then that you can begin.

Now, for me it seems so obvious. If I can't learn to shut out the hustle and bustle of everyday life and stresses (and I am the worst meditator ever) then how can I expect to hear any kind of message given to me. How can I expect to feel the different shift in energy within me when I'm still thinking 'Oh, I better not forget to get more baby formula'.

Once you can still your mind, no matter how stressed or hectic it's all been you will know that you are centered as soon as you are at the right point. It's like, having the window open with traffic or road works outside on a sunny spring afternoon. Once you shut the window there is silence. At the exact same time your whole body throughout instantly all relaxes.

If you can get on with meditating (see my link list for a brilliant site), then you will probably reach this learning point quicker than I did. I had to take the hard route. As always. Now I can instantly put myself into that state of awareness, still carry on with something that may need doing quickly and go straight back to that point.

We are given a little at a time. Kind of like on a need to know basis. It doesn't matter how ready you think you are, there may be some small lessons you have to experience and learn from until you can move forward along your true path.

Are you a Psychic Explorer? Take the Test

ARE YOU A PSYCHIC EXPLORER? Well, you were curious enough to find out more, so the answer should be YES.

'Smiling From Within' is about exploring Spirits, Intuition, Energy Vibrations, the different Tools & abilities of the psychic world. Acknowledging the influence our Subconscious Mind has over them. All of which focus on the same view; to show ways that work for us, so we can create the healthy happy lives we dream of.

You can still be sceptical, in fact its probably good for us all to be a little sceptical at times. This way we are going in with our eyes wide open, and not bias to one side or another. It doesn't have to mean that just because you believe in one thing, that  anything its connected to is your belief.

If you don't have dreams and goals then you have no path or direction to work towards. You'll always get by and settle for what you've got. Rather than having more of exactly what you deserve, without feeling the guilt of wanting and asking. Which in the spirit world (or for the sceptics amongst us, our sub-conscious/intuition) equals GETTING IT!

Feel free to post comments, a difference of option helps the world go round. Suggest topics to be covered or simply ask a question that you'd like to know. All topics are covered. If I don't know about it then we will explore it together.

Join me, as I continue my psychic development towards becoming a Medium. Learn with me how different experiences feel, my fears and my excitement at making further connections between with the Spirit world and the subconscious Mind. I will help you to see my continuous learning journey through my eyes.

Why not suggest a subject or area for me to explore for you. Now, that would be fun!

I'm smiling all over, and that definitely means I'm 'Smiling From Within'.

Crystal Clear International Psychic Clairvoyant

I love my mum, Crystal Clear, she's great! The thing that I admire the most though about her job as an international psychic clairvoyant, is the many, many people I see her help day in, day out. The feeling of knowing that when someone has sat before you, with no will to live, that you are be able to show them that they have a reason to live and that things are going to change for the better. Then having that person walking out of the door with goals for the future. That must be such an amazing feeling.

I'm so fascinated on the clairvoyant side of things. You can't help thinking, how does it all work. Even when you've been around it as I have, you still can't help being blown away at some of the information and accuracy that comes through. My mum has given a reading before, telling them that they will go to the doctors with a chest complaint, it will be diagnosed wrong at first but the next time they go back they will identify it correctly. Amazing! It was all true.

My favourite of all though is when my mum reads for the sceptics of us all. They come with their barriers up. Determined they'll tell her nothing, right or wrong. They sit down and she'll give them a single piece of information straight away , significant only to them. This then grabs their attention and the reading can continue as normal.

Here is a piece from my mum:

Colours & Their Meanings

Whilst studying to become a Psychic Counsellor one of the things necessary for me to learn was the different meanings of colours of the spectrum. Also their physical and emotional effects. Those colours are: RED, ORANGE, YELLOW, GREEN, TURQUOISE, BLUE, INDIGO, VIOLET, MAGENTA.

I'm not saying in any way that this is what a Psychic Counsellor has to learn. I personally have been following my own path, I am drawn to or directed towards the next various things that I am supposed to study. To be honest, my studying has been going on for years. And to some degree I've not been too sure where I was going with it. But still I took my courses over the years just in the background of living my life. Now I have qualifications in: Colour Therapy, Basic Anatomy & Physiology, Indian Head Massage, Drug Awareness, Counselling and Life Coaching. I am also blessed with the gift of Clairvoyance. And having the curiosity for the Paranormal and Unexplained. I am constantly developing my abilities and love my job of helping people. Good, now I've got that off my chest. Blimey!

That's only the tip of the of the iceberg with how deep and what combination of ways you can use and work with colour. They play such a big part of our lives. Imagine a world with no colour. Rubbish! It would be like the dreary days we get so many of, when we are wishing for the Summer to grow some backbone and fight it's way through with sunny days.

If you would like to have a colour reading for yourself, to see which ones you are needing in your life right now and the changes you can make by introducing them. Please contact me via my email (profile page).

Remember, if your not smiling on the outside it's definately because you're not 'Smiling From Within'.

Colour Therapy Explained

One of the areas covered in my Psychic Counselling is Colour Therapy. I really like this area because you can really get your teeth stuck in. There's so many options and variations to fit in with all walks of life not to mention each individual will pick colours specific to what they need at that given time. Remembering also, that next week the same person could do the same test and pick out new colours. It's amazing how it works out to be so accurate.

Basically, every single colour that you see has an effect in it's own way. Emotional, Physical, Mentally & Spiritually. And without going too deep all these colours and parts of the body that they correspond with are also connected to the Aura which is our unseen vibrational body! But we wont go into that now. Each part of the body responds to a different colour.

Colours effect our personalities. That's where sayings such as 'Black Mood', 'Green With Envy', 'Red With Rage', 'Pink With Delight' (not really, I just made that one up!) come from. Extremes of emotions are often the outward display of imbalances or blockages in the flow of colour energies into and out of the body.

I'll explain a little about how it all works. Especially for those who are just discovering this area.

How Light Enters The Body
Of all our organs the eyes are the most highly tuned for receiving coloured light. They supply about 90% of the sensory information available to the brain. Information about light and colour also enters the body through our skin (even when fully clothed). The eyes gather visual information for us and then channels it through to the brain so that we can perceive more accurately in consciousness what the body also experiences, but does not make conscious.

Colour Blindness
Some people are unable to tell the difference between certain colours. Most commonly the difficulty is in distinguishing RED from GREEN, although other people cannot tell the difference between YELLOW and BLUE. About 8% of men (bless 'em) and 1% of women ( you go girls) are RED-GREEN colour blind.
Even so, it doesn't matter what colour you are seeing something in because it has no relation to the physiological effects of those wavelengths. Even when RED and GREEN are seen as muddy BROWN, each colour will have it's different, specific effects on the body. This is exactly the same for visually impaired people, the impact of colour does not depend on you being able to see it.

Intuitive Knowledge Of Colour
Our first experience of colour takes place in the womb. As we grow older we then begin to attach feelings, memories and meanings to our experiences of colours. This then results in colours becoming a feature of our sub-conscious. The association of particular colours to feelings and emotions such as Happy, 'Smiling From Within', Sad and Frightening experiences builds up our colour preferences.

When I work together with someone who has come to me for Psychic Counselling and Life Coaching I would give them a picture chart that they would look at for a couple of seconds. They then pick out three colours that stand out the most, giving me each colour in the particular order they first looked at them. For example:

1st BLUE
2nd GREEN
3rd YELLOW

This determines to me so much about their personality and what they need to introduce into their life at this particular time to make necessary relevant changes. It's covers such a wide spectrum we can go as basic or as deep and we want. It's a fun subject.

On that note, I hope you found Colour Therapy interesting but feel free to let me know if there is a subject that I can tell you more about, if I can. 


Remember, when you feel a fluttering inside your chest, that's your heart

What is a Psychic Counsellor?

The type of Psychic Counsellor that I am is a person you can turn to when no one else understands. Someone who is able to listen, understand and see your life through your eyes. This cusped with the gift of Clairvoyance, the ability to help you realise your hopes, dreams and aspirations again.
Imagine a stranger who knows nothing of your history or your future goals but yet a person who automatically makes that connection of really understanding the true you. Giving you complete confidence to relax back and let your dreams and desires flow. This then placing you back in the right direction of your true path in life.

Everyone feels misguided once in awhile. We've all felt stuck in a rut at some point. Yet just sometimes it would be nice for some time out, with someone who can help you find your inner spark. The one that's beginning to fade.

As a Psychic Counsellor and Life Coach I am able to cover a wide variety of life issues such as; Confidence and Self Esteem Building, Bereavement, Relationships, Blocks that are Holding you Back, and Finding laughter in your life again, to name but a few.

There are many ways that I can work with you and many various tools that can be used to give us the best insight into any situation. A few of the favorites are good old fashion Tarot Reading (telephone readings available: 02392 672 392) , The Fairy Cards and Clairvoyance.

In my next Blogs I will go more in depth to the various tools used. Maybe I'll write about the Colour Readings, choosing what colour you subconsciously need in your life right now.

Remember, how can you smile on the outside if you're not 'Smiling From Within'.
