Energy, Awareness and Judgement
Everything is energy. What is it that you creating with your energy?
Whatever our intentions are is the energy we will create for ourselves, and the energy that we will attract to ourselves.
This is backed up by science, Quantum Physics to be exact, but I won’t get into that part of things here.
Why practice awareness?
Because you cannot change what you do not know or acknowledge. As you practice awareness from week to week, you start to see where your thinking might not be in line with what it is you want to accomplish.
This is in direct relationship to the energy behind things. If you are unaware of your thoughts or your surroundings then you are unaware of the energy you are putting out, and therefore; unaware of the energy you are bringing into your life.
Back to science here, but we really do get back the energy that we put out. Awareness of this energy is very important. If you are not aware of what you are doing, thinking, saying, then you are on autopilot and allowing life to just lead you along. There is a difference between “going with the flow” and not taking responsibility for what you are creating.
Your thoughts and actions play a big part in where you will end up. Being aware of things helps with the process of creating the life that you want.
Judgement and Perception Go Hand in Hand
Why practice Non-Judgement?
When we judge things, we immediately stop the flow of energy. Try to see things just as they are. Not as good or bad. If something happens it just “is” – there’s no need to define it.
How we perceive our circumstances dictates how we handle things and the type of energy we create in our day to day lives.
If something happens and we perceive it as “bad”, then we immediately have a “bad” experience or reaction. We create negative energy. Remember, when you do this, what you put out there is what you will get in return “energetically speaking”.
What if what is happening is not “bad” but is necessary for your growth, and to help you move on and become. Without movement, there can be no growth. Think about that. What if, on a soul level, (and a mind level), you are wanting different circumstances in your life. What if the Universe decides to support this decision? What if you are trying to hang onto old ways? The more you perceive the movement as a negative, the more you will experience it as negativity. The more negative energy you will yourself create.
This is why people often experience “opposites” showing up when they try to manifest something. It’s not really the “opposite”, that’s just the way you are perceiving it. If you perceive it as growth and movement instead of as lack and limitation, you are on your way to making the life you want.
Things shouldn’t be this way
That is a very powerful sentence. Think of the energy behind it. It really doesn’t matter what should or shouldn’t BE. All we have is what IS. That’s it. Focusing on how things should or shouldn’t be, just keeps things the way they are.
If you find yourself saying should or shouldn’t, maybe you need to take a good look at where you are, right now. What is causing you to say those words? Is it something that you have control over? Or not?
Chances are, you can change things, but you can never change them by saying they shouldn’t exist. You need to be in your moment, look at your moment, see everything that brought you here. If need be, release it. Or maybe it is just something you need to acknowledge. Sometimes you may find it easier to say it shouldn’t be a certain way, rather than actually seeing it how it is and doing something about it.
Sometimes you just need to ride it out, and do things differently next time. Some times you need to do things differently today. Sometimes it may be something you have no control over right at the moment (a law, or the economy perhaps). Sometimes it is something you can control right now.
Your focus should always be on you. What can you do. With the smaller stuff it’s easy. With the bigger stuff it might be a little harder, but its likely not impossible.
For some it is much easier to say should or shouldn’t rather than looking at things differently. I should have more money. Really? Should you? Then why don’t you? What have you done about it? Do you want money for nothing? Do you want money for work? Do you accept what you have created for yourself? Do you have debt to pay off? Why should you have more money? Look at yourself, your life, your responsibility in what you have created. Rather than use the energy zapper “should”, why don’t you take a good look at your present moment and see what you can do ~ right now, for yourself to create more money?
I shouldn’t be stuck living where I am living. Here’s another common one. Why are you stuck there? If you be in your moment and trust your moment, you will likely find that you aren’t stuck. It is your mind telling you that you are afraid to move. If you live with another person, you may say “I can’t afford to move”. Be in your moment. Is that really true? Or are you just afraid to change what you have now. If it is related to where you can afford to live, what can you do differently.
Things always start with a thought. If you are looking for an easy way out, or are looking at the way things “should, or shouldn’t be” chances are it will elude you. You need to look at what you have right now and use your imagination and your ability to create to find your own way out. Not just use those words as an excuse to stay where you are.
Do I NEED a Psychic?
The answer to this question is no. You don’t need me.
I probably don’t need my accountant either. I chose to use an accountant because it is much easier for me to hand my books over to a professional. I have no desire to study for years so that I can do it myself. I have no interest in looking at numbers and doing tax returns and all that comes with bookwork for hours on end. It’s just not my thing.
I like to have a person that I can rely on, that is an expert in their field, that has taken the time to learn and continues to do so all the time, and that can help me.
Do I myself need a psychic? Not normally. However, before my Aunt passed away I’d call her occasionally to get a second opinion on something. Usually it was if I saw something for myself that was a little unclear, or more likely if I was just too close to the situation to be unbiased.
Many of my clients, and many of you reading this are intuitive, and just want a second opinion before moving ahead with something. Not everyone has the desire to study for years on how to listen to their intuition or their Higher Self. Life gets in the way, and developing intuition just might not be your thing.
So do you NEED me? No. Can I help? Yes. I am here to help with something if you don’t have time to meditate on it, or when you need a second opinion. Or if being intuitive just isn’t on your list of things to do.
When Your Day Seems Out of Balance
When your day seems out of balance
And, so many things go wrong.
When people fight around you
and the clock drags on so long…
When most folks act like children,
and fill you with remorse,
Go out into your pasture.
Wrap your arms around your horse.
His gentle breath enfolds you,
And he watches with those eyes
He may not have a PhD,
But he is, oh so wise!
His head rests on your shoulder.
You embrace him good and tight;
He puts your world in balance,
And makes it seem all right.
Your tears will soon stop flowing,
The tension will be eased.
The nonsense has been lifted,
You are quiet and at peace.
So when you need some balance
From the stresses in your day..
The best therapy you can seek..
Is out there eating hay!
‘’The only one I tell all my secrets to is my horse.’’ – Rosie Curtis 1900
I don’t know who wrote this poem, but I like it so I thought I would share it with you.

My Favourite U-Tube Video of the Month
I thought this one was pretty good, someone emailed it to me so I thought I’d share it with you.
A palindrome reads the same backwards as forward. This video reads the opposite backwards as forward. Not only does it read the opposite, the meaning is the exact opposite.
This is only a 1 minute, 44 second video and it is brilliant. Make sure you read as well as listen…forward and backward.
This is a video that was submitted in a contest by a 20-year old. The contest was titled “u @ 50″ by AARP and it won second place. When they showed it, everyone in the room was awe-struck and broke into spontaneous applause. So simple and yet so brilliant.
Take a minute and watch it.
