I could have changed it …. but why?

May 29, 2012 by 1 Comment

I was getting ready to go down to see a friend for lunch in the states. While I was blow drying my hair in the morning, I was told by my guides that I’d be stopped at the border and sent inside, which doesn’t happen very often. They did not tell me anything more, just that I would have to go in.

I KNOW that we can all create our own realities and I know that the Law of Attraction works. So, I was thinking about it, and thought, gee, if I put my focus on just going right through, and really put the ‘big desire’ to sail right thorough ‘out there’, then I know I can.

That’s basically how psychic readings/messages work. I get the information, it’s up to the receiver (in this case me), to decide what to do about it. Sometimes when I see things like this ahead of time I do really want to change it (so I manifest the change using the Law of Attraction). This time though, as I was driving down the highway on the way to the border crossing, I was just thinking, “I don’t really care”. I just couldn’t muster up the “burning desire” to create not stopping. Besides, my guides didn’t tell me it would be bad, just that it would happen. Also, I know from experience that sometimes detours are just rerouting opportunities or a way to be shown something new.

So, I get to the border, there wasn’t much of a lineup, cars were pulling forward one at a time, I got in a line and waited my turn. I get up to the border and get asked the usual questions “where are you from, where are you going etc.”. Then the border guard says “can I have your keys please, she takes my keys, checks the trunk, comes around to the passenger side of the car, rifles through my purse and tells me to pull over and go inside.

No biggie really, I’ve got nothing to hide or anything I’m not supposed to have so in I go.

I’m waiting inside the door (it’s a smaller border crossing office) and a really pleasant Border Guard says “I’ll be right with you”. AND YES, I SAID A PLEASANT BORDER GUARD.

So in a minute, he comes back and I walk up to the counter. He’s got amazing energy. He ‘feels’ quite happy and is smiling and just simply pleasant. I’ve never gotten such a warm reception from a border guard. I won’t mention the crossing I was at, or precisely when because I don’t want to get anyone in trouble. I think the guards are trained to be intimidating rather than friendly.

So I told him what I do, psychic readings, and that me and my hubby have a concrete cutting company. Then I sat down for my wait. Partway through my wait, he asked me what I charged. I said “$250 for a full hour, but there are variations”.

After about 35 more minutes he handed me my keys and passport and said I could go. I told him that if he was intrigued by the ‘psychic’ thing that I had a website. He said “I know” and pointed to his computer. He had googled me while I was waiting.

While checking on me he had called the friend I was meeting to confirm that we were just having lunch and that I wasn’t working while in the US. So she knew I would be late. While waiting for me, she had the opportunity to read part of a good book which she doesn’t get to do very often with young children.

So back to my point about, “Why change it”. Being stopped at the border was actually a very pleasant experience for me that day. As a matter of fact, dealing with the fellow I dealt with there was probably the highlight of my day. You know how just interacting with someone who is pleasant and has good energy can be uplifting and help you be in a better mood.

Also, I got the impression he was quite interested in the whole “Psychic Medium” thing. Who knows what he got out of our meeting. Maybe he read parts of my blog and it helped him in some way. Maybe he or someone in his family will end up requiring the services of a medium in the future and I will be able to help them.

The thing is, we don’t always know what the Universe has in store. Everything is a matter of perspective. When I got the message that I would be stopped at the border, if I had had the perspective that it was a negative thing I could have either changed it or turned it into a negative thing.

In my case, I consciously thought “Thanks for letting me know, it’s no big deal, I’ll just arrive at my destination later”. By doing that and just going with the flow, I ended up having a great day, my friend got in some much-needed reading time, I got a good example to share with you in a blog post, and who knows what else changed just because of one little stop.

Valentines Day Presence

February 13, 2012 by Leave a Comment

Valentine’s Day is a great day to show your love.  So many people put importance on what their love is going to get them or do for them on Valentine’s Day.

What if, for Valentine’s Day, you give your love your Presence?

So many of us are rushed.  We are home and we think about work.  We are at work and we think about what needs to be done at home.  We drive our cars with no awareness whatsoever about where we are or what we are doing.  We get home from where we were and have no recall of the actual drive.

Most of us could use a little more presence in our lives.  Living in the NOW can be a wonderful thing when we let it happen.  Flowers, candy, a dinner out…all nice gifts to be sure.  But how enjoyable is any of it without some presence?

You don’t want to be out for dinner looking across at the love of your life while they are on the phone with someone else, or off in never never land thinking about their workday.  Don’t do that to them.  If you have a love in your life, and you really want to give them a gift, make sure you do it with some Presence, it truly is the best gift of all.

Today is a Good Day

May 3, 2010 by Leave a Comment

Boy oh boy energies and things have been strange lately.  For me, and for a lot of my clients that I have talked to.  Its as if we are all waiting for something to happen.  There has been a lull.  Many of us know that things are as they are meant to be and that we will be okay.  Some would call it faith, some would call it a knowing, or connection to Source that they feel that all is as it should be, or at least that change is coming.

Its just this darn 3D world that messes us up sometimes.  As we slowly come out of the recession, many of us feel like we just can’t take anymore.  We’ve been beaten down, and things have felt like they just aren’t picking up.  So many are either out of work, or are just getting back to work, or are working for less than they were before.   Even my husband’s concrete cutting company has been slow.  Its picking up, but when he’s at a job site, almost everyone he talks to has been in the same boat, work is coming, its just not quite here yet.

Some are losing faith, but please try not to. While you are waiting for the new to show up, do what you can right now, with the old stuff.  Have you got a lot of clutter in your house that needs to be cleared out?  Things you have been thinking of doing but didn’t have the time to do before?  Its these times of lull that are the best for revaluating and realigning with your higher self and clearing out the stuff that you don’t need anymore, the stuff that is no longer serving your highest and best good.

I know all too well how hard it can be to motivate yourself when things feel like they are falling apart all around you.  When I find myself in that spot ~ I pray, I meditate, I pray more, I pray a lot.  I ask for help.  Sometimes the help I ask for is just to get through today.  I don’t always ask for specific things ~ I ask for feelings, the feeling that I want to have is calmness ~ even when life is at its stormiest for me.  I don’t ever want to lose the faith, I don’t ever want to lose the connection to Source, or to lose what makes me who I am.

Today is a stormy day here in BC.  It feels so very cleansing, I think I might even just go out in the back yard and sit (rain or not), and let the wind just clear away all the crap that’s built up lately. And maybe I’ll pray while I’m out there.

I Got Caught Not Practicing Awareness Today

January 19, 2010 by Leave a Comment

I am usually pretty good at being in the moment, and practicing awareness.  However, the past little while has been a bit of a challenge for me.  I have had tons of stuff going on and I’ve sometimes wondered how I can do it all.

My Aunt passed away on January 8th, after a very brief yet intense illness.  Her and I were very close, she was my mentor, my confidant, my friend.  We had a “Celebration of Life” for her on Sunday.

As I wrote a few weeks ago, my husband broke his leg in September and has been off work since.  He went for surgery yesterday to have pins removed.

Tomorrow, my son has dental surgery for a growth he’s got on his gums.  Likely not too serious, but they have to knock him out and a mom worries anyway.

This Friday night I am participating in a paranormal investigation.  My first with a new P.A.R.A. team.  Very exciting.  I will let you know how it goes once all is said and done.

I’ve had tons of e-mails coming in and I’m working on booking in readings from those that are still on my waitlist.

Over the past while my horse has been slightly neglected.  I say slightly because I keep him at a barn where they take awesome care of him.  He’s well fed, gets put out in the morning to romp around and is brought in and kept warm and dry at night.  I have been trying to get down to exercise him but its been a challenge over the past while.  He grounds me, keeps me in the moment and I can’t help but Practice Awareness when I am with him but I haven’t been to the barn since Saturday.  Over the last month I have only been down to the barn just enough to keep him from going crazy from lack of attention. Thinking that I absolutly must get to see him on Thursday.

So, here I was, this Tuesday morning, I was happily going along my way and getting ready for the day.  I had booked four clients in today starting at 9:30 a.m.  I got up early, had my workout and shower and was having a cup of coffee before taking my son to school.  My husband had to leave the house and needed help with the truck.  I often will help to lift things into or out of the truck with him, normally not a problem.

This particular morning I was feeling a little rushed, seeing how many emails I could answer before my appointments started.  I was thinking about all the things I had to do, the things I had done, what I needed to get done later, and what I could rush through to get to where I wanted to be.  A typical case of rushing around too much and not being in the moment.

So I went outside with my husband and proceeded to grab one side of a very heavy piece of equipment, and halfway through lifting it I got the most intense pain in my back.  Ouch.  I could hardly move.  I hobbled into the house and tried to stretch it out a bit but it didn’t work.  I then popped a couple of Robax Platinum’s hoping that that would help to relax the muscle.

Suffice to say, I ended up cancelling my readings for the day…I couldn’t even get down the stairs to where I do readings, never mind actually sit with someone without wincing or groaning. 

I said to my husband “I wonder if someone is trying to tell me something?”  I must say, I know we create our own “stuff” ~ good and bad.  He pointed out that normally when I am going to lift something like that I stretch and bend and make a big production of limbering up beforehand and today I didn’t. 

I’m a thinker, always looking for a higher meaning to things.  I considered that my higher self didn’t want me to be doing readings today, or that I was meant to be doing something else with my day.

When it comes right down to it though, its just AWARENESS.  I got too much into my head, and autopilot, and rushing to get things done and didn’t take the time to get ready and lift properly.  That’s it.  Not divine intervention, not a curse, not anything, just ME. 

A great reminder for me to be in the moment and Practice My Awareness.
