Many of us in modern life today are under stress all time. However, we still have to stay in control. If this goes on for a long time, we can react to stress with poor eating habits, release of more stress hormones, and even by manifesting cardiac risk factors.

 

However, there is a way to reduce these risk factors and even reverse them without turning to prescription drugs. All it takes is some discipline and to develop some habits over your lifetime that will work in tandem with your ordinary diet and exercise programs. Yoga is one of these; it can help you relearn the state of peace and harmony that you want your mind and body to be in. It will help you relax.

Yoga is one of the most prominent forms of meditative exercise within the growing mind-body health movement. Other forms include qigong, tai chi, and other exercise techniques that include meditation. Mind-body fitness comes from Eastern philosophies and religions. These practices improve both your emotional and physical well being.

Mind-body exercise has many benefits; these benefits are showing themselves to be bona fide even under careful scientific scrutiny. In fact, mind-body exercise can do many things, not the least of which are to reduce cardiac risk and enhance mood.

Yoga’s kind, gentle movements are easy on the joints and yet still improves strength and flexibility, as well as muscle tone. In fact, it can make you more youthful than the sometimes jarring effects of aerobics, weight lifting, or running.

In fact, practicing yoga can impact every part of your existence. Most modern Western practitioners, for example, focus on the physical asanas, or positions. However, many others utilize yoga as a path to bliss and live their lives in its all-encompassing embrace.

Yoga has lofty goals indeed, but in fact practicing it is wonderfully simple and you can do it anywhere, anytime. If you take yoga to its extremes, you can utilize yoga’s dietary practices and moral codes as well as its meditative practices. More commonly, though, it’s utilized as a combination of asanas (or postures), meditation and breathing exercises, also called pranayama.

Authors have written entire books on how to breathe during yoga. When you deep breathe, you calm yourself, but you also energize yourself at the same time. You can feel very energized from a few minutes of careful deep breathing, but it’s a different kind of energy than many of us are used to feeling. Not jittery or hyper, this type of energy is calm and steady.

If you’re feeling particularly stressed, try this five-minute “breath break” to energize yourself and release stress. Read through the instructions several times before you actually try following the steps.

1. With your spine as straight as possible, sit in a chair or on the floor. If you sit in a chair, your feet should be flat on the floor with knees directly over the center of your feet. If your feet don’t rest comfortably on the floor, put a book or cushion under your feet so that your knees are perpendicular to your hips. Your hands should be on the tops of your legs, palms down, open and relaxed.

2. Close your eyes gently and simply rest them, lids closed.

3. Picture your ribs at the back, front and sides of your body. Your lungs reside behind your ribs.

4. Now, slowly breathe in, filling your lungs up from the bottom. Picture your ribs expanding out and up. Now, breathe out, slowly, with your lungs emptying from top to bottom and your ribs gently contracting back down and in. Don’t push the breath out.

5. When you first do this, do it for two or three minutes. As you become more practiced, do it for 5 or 10 minutes. When you first begin, set aside a time once per day to do this. As you become more accustomed to it and realize how good it makes you feel, you’ll want to practice it throughout your day at various times.

Today’s lifestyles define the word, “stress.” More than 19 million Americans suffer from some from of anxiety on a regular basis. Part of what contributes to the increase in stress, and anxiety, is that very few people know how to manage their stress.

 

Some of those, who know how to manage stress, fail to create a plan of action.  In a nutshell, Yoga can provide the means to cope and reduce stress.  Allowing stress to become chronic, or permitting anxiety to take over one’s life, can be seriously detrimental to a person’s health.

Stress can cause a variety of health problems.  Existing conditions, illness, and ailments, are worsened, if they are allowed to thrive through stress. Anxiety and stress can lead to a paralyzed existence, or inability, to function.

The good news is that yoga works to loosen the tension in the mind, body, and spirit. Even the medical community has begun to recognize what yogis have known for hundreds of years.

The core goal of yoga is to reach a state of tranquility, completeness, and peaceful union, of mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual health. Is there a better way to calm your worry?

 

The methods of breathing, and focused meditation, draw your mind away from stressful distraction. Visualization during breathing, and the performance of yoga postures, plant your mind in a place of calm.

These practices are designed to give you a place to heal, a path to move forward, and the ability make progress. Without first allowing you a place to rest or heal, you cannot move forward from anxiety and stress.

There are several different types of yoga practices. Yoga styles vary in philosophy, approach, intensity, and format, but they all grant varying benefits on practitioners.

A calmer, slower, but physical type of yoga, is Hatha yoga; one of the nine main styles from India. This type of yoga is both designed to calm the student, and can be structured to meet the needs of anyone, of any age, or physical condition.

Hatha yoga also has several sub-styles, but all have the same three main focal points of controlled breathing (pranayama), postures (asanas), and meditation.

What are the benefits of a daily yoga session for sufferers of yeast infection? There is no real study yet on the link between yoga and yeast infection, but recent research has shown interesting data on the subject whereby yoga principles are seen to be beneficial to victims of yeast infection in their quest for regaining health

 

Where does yeast infection come from?  It is the results of Candida fungi and is also called candidiasis.  The candida microbe is generally found in warm and humid pace places of the body, such as mouth, throat, intestine, and genitals.  When the friendly probiotics in the body keep the candida in check, then the individual is not in danger.  However, Candida can rapidly evolve to a fungal form and grow under certain circumstances.  Simultaneously it grows root that dig into the intestine before penetrating into the blood stream, and generating the symptoms of yeast infection in different parts of the body.

Many items can cause Candida overgrowth.  These include:

1. A weak immune system (perhaps because of the other health problems, bad eating, the use of antibiotics which in turn weaken the immune system) that cannot control the out break of Candida.

2. Overeating of foods that encourage Candida (sweets, caffeine, alcohol, refined carbohydrates and other similar foods).

3. Stress and related factors that lead to a mental state which in turn has a negative effect on blood sugar levels and the immune system which all conspire to stimulate Candida over multiplication.

4. Toxins that collect in the blood and the intestine to then prevent correct digestion, put heavy load on the liver and debilitate the normal defense processes in the body’s fight against Candida.

Yoga is one of the oldest practices in the spiritual universe. It puts the emphasis on conscious living and using the potential for happiness and physical and mental health that each of us has inside us. The yoga techniques of correct breathing and physical positions can be highly beneficial to sufferers of yeast infections, because they can significantly and positively alter stress levels and strengthen the immune system.

Elimination of toxins in the human organism and cleansing are also important features of the yoga philosophy. This is often done by fasting, which helps to unclog the digestive system so it can function properly again, and eliminate toxins in the blood circulatory system. These are primary Candida generating factors and relate to the fact that the vast majority of diseases in the western world must be handled first by getting rid of mucus and toxic matter to put the natural elimination process back into operation.

The diet plan principles which the yoga philosophy has as part of its teaching also place the importance on balanced food, harmonious heating and the needs and makeup of your body. In the fight against Candida infection these dietary habits and proper food plans can enhance digestion and therefore help you.

Note that practicing yoga is just one part of the total solution and is not a yeast infection cure by itself. You already get the advantages to your health of the yoga principles and practices. When they are then combined with additional alternative medicine programs, such as the use of herbal and mineral adjuncts, this allows you to remove toxins and kill off excess candida to restore the natural intestinal equilibrium.

Did anyone tell you that the holistic approach using all-natural guidelines is the only way to deal with the inner environments that has resulted in yeast infection and in this way to rid yourself of all symptoms of Candida and prevent such problems from ever coming back?

Yes of course, where should we start because there are so many that it would hard to name all the physical benefits. In its core yoga is all about well-being of the self. Yoga is not meant to be a therapy for a one particular illness. A practitioner of yoga learns a new way of thinking and lifestyle and all of this in a broad holistic approach. Another product of this new lifestyle and thinking is that you start to see the healing effects of yoga. When you start to practice yoga you will see that one of the benefits of yoga is that some of the difficulties you have in life tend to go away or become less difficult. Clinical tests have been conducted that verified these effects so it is not just the practitioners that claim this.

 

 

How yoga will benefit you

With yoga you will be able to relieve yourself of stress and fatigue, get vitality back it is anti-aging and a relaxing therapy. There are studies that show asthma to improve by 75%, some studies even show 93%, and yoga can help prevent asthma attacks so there is less need for drugs. Yoga helps to get the ability to exercise back for people having breathing problems like emphysema or bronchitis, this is done in ways that normal physiotherapy could never do it.

Studies showed that people suffering from breathing problems increased their exertion tolerance and recovery, more so then before, in the end they could better control their breathing problems. If you suffer from high blood pressure then yoga can help in treating this and of course prevent it because of the relaxing aspect of the exercises. Yoga can also reduce pain, during exercises it helps the secretion of natural painkillers. The same effect can be accomplished with breathing exercises.

Seeing that everyone gets pain in one form or another a lot of people could benefit from this. When someone does yoga on a daily basis the tension in the muscles will reduce and it enhances flexibility and strength, therefore a lot of back pains are cured or prevented this way.

Diabetes, another illness that really benefits from yoga, blood sugar being lowered while practicing yoga and thus less oral medicine is needed. This study was done in combination of a vegetarian diet, so it could be that it is not the yoga alone that can take the claim for this improvement.

Yoga is a gentle exercise and because of this a good way to relief some of the pain you get from arthritis. It is not necessary for yoga to cause pain. Always be very careful with a hurting body, don’t overdo it.

These are just a few of the benefits that yoga can give you. Like we said to many to name all of them but you get a picture why we like to recommend that you start practice yoga. The sooner you start the sooner all these and the non mentioned benefits of yoga can be yours.

Psychics are people who allegedly have extraordinary mental powers or a sixth sense, generally known as ESP (extra sensory perception). Psychics look into the lives of people and predict future events. Derived from the Greek word psychiokos or psyche, which means soul or that which is mental, the word psychic is generally associated with fortunetellers.

 

Psychic readings can relate to a person’s present, past or future; his love life, relationships, ailments, stress and general success (or failure) in life. Psychic readers answer these questions and offer guidance and advice for leading a better life. Psychic readers are people who have high levels of ESP.

Divination is the art of offering a prophecy, prediction or foretelling the future via the occult, while hiero is the more down to earth act of automatic writing or drawing. Precognition involves seeing forward in time) and psychometrics derives knowledge about an object or a person connected with it by making contact. Psycho kinesis is the ability to move objects with the mind and remote viewing allows a psychic to describe a person, place or thing without being in their presence. Telepathy is simply mind-to-mind communication. There are thousands of psychics in the world. Several are willing to offer their services like psychic reading for a fee. A psychic’s fee ranges from $1 per minute to $10-$15 per minute. Psychics can be contacted in person, by mail, phone or through e-mail. There are also several websites that offer free psychic consultation online. However, these free services are limited. Psychics are slowly finding acceptance there is a demand, in spite of the skepticism of some critics. However, there are fake psychics also who claim to have great success with their powers, which is in fact obtained by cheating, so buyer beware.

If you are familiar with me and my concepts, then you may already be aware that I have been trying to help change some of the negative views that many people have about psychics and what they do. Since I have covered some of those aspects in other articles I want to focus more on what a psychic should be and what you can reasonably expect to learn from a psychic reading.

The most profound concept that came into my awareness at the beginning of this journey for me as a “psychic” advisor was the idea that we are all here to learn something; to grow and evolve towards perfection of the soul. When a real psychic is doing their job, they are assisting you in an awareness of certain aspects of your life when you seek out psychic advice.

The reason psychic advice can be so powerful is because it can provide much needed insight into your life that you would otherwise not be aware of because you may be so embroiled in the day-to-day activities and events of your life that you shut out your own intuition and your own ability to access your Higher Self. Psychics are accessing unseen elements in nature; however within all of us exists a hidden, decipherable code that persons with highly developed psychic intuition and/or with the use of certain divination tools, can more readily access. These persons were either born with a natural gift and/or has developed it.

Once I found my true path, I decided to make it my mission to help those who seek it to find the power of their inner world and to access Higher Consciousness through spiritual practice. A psychic (a term which really is not to me accurately descriptive of what we do) is supposed to help you to help yourself. Not take the place of your own inner powers, insights or judgment by showing you that you can do this for yourself. A true intuitive psychic should be used for guidance and to give you probable outcomes based on the energy that you are channeling at the time of your reading. You see, a prediction can change because you have the power to change it, especially after someone tells you they see a thing that will happen but which you have the power to change. This is particularly useful when your advisor sees a possible negative outcome to a situation. This is in actuality an opportunity to change that possibility by changing your thinking, action, reaction or beliefs about a situation. Every conflict is just an opportunity to harmonize energy based on your thoughts and actions. Every outcome is not necessarily pre-ordained and fixed.

Many people need help to find their way and when you are speaking with a talented, authentic psychic, you are opening up more possibilities in exercising your free will to be at cause in your life as opposed to being effected by uncontrollable circumstances. Deep profound insights into your life can have a powerful affect on your consciousness and bring about the very thing you want, empowerment. It’s a much touted word these days, but it is for real. It is the quest that all souls (whether they know it or not) are moving towards as we travel the spiral upwards to perfection.

Having said all of that, what a psychic can tell is varied. First, you have to establish what kind of information you are seeking. Second, you have to find the right psychic who can provide you with this information. Now, not all psychics are created equal and this article assumes that you have done your homework and have established that you are working with a professional and ethical practitioner.

Know Your Psychic – Different Psychics Have Different Areas of Expertise

There are some psychics out there who claim to be 100% accurate, can tell all, knows all, that they are a psychic, a medium, an astrologer, crystal reader, reiki master, etc. I find that psychics that claim to be everything to everyone, most likely are probably neither professional nor ethical. Find out specifically what your psychic does best! Many professional psychics will tell you what they can and cannot do. For instance, a medium can be a psychic but all psychics are not mediums. So if you are wishing to contact a loved one who has crossed over, then you should seek an authentic psychic medium. All psychics are NOT mediums. Some psychics are clairvoyant (which means clear seeing) and have visions. In my experience, I have talked with many clairvoyant psychics who are indeed able to “see” visions in the past, present or future. The same goes for someone who is empathic who can “feel” another’s emotions. Some psychics can do both, but some can do only one or two practice areas very well.

Different Psychics Have Different Methods

Whether your psychic is clairvoyant, clairaudient, empathic, telepathic, a medium, uses divination tools such as Tarot, Runes, I Ching, or even numerology and astrology, the extent to which they can tell you certain information will be based on their experience in their craft, their skill, knowledge and natural gifts. All these elements play a part in getting you accurate psychic information during your reading and you especially want someone who is knowledgeable if they are going to be able to help you based on channeling from a higher realm. Some psychics use tools, some do not. Depending on how a psychic worker discovered their gift and how they have practiced it, will determine their skill level. I recall seeing a program on television where this psychic actually read peoples’ butts (yes, their behinds). There were actually people showing her their butts and she would read them. Go figure. No one should ever judge what it is that connects a person with higher consciousness. For some it may be the Tarot for others could be butts, but spiritual gifts come in all shapes and sizes, no pun intended. It is mastery that should concern us. Psychic mastery is a discipline like anything else and anyone seeking psychic advice should want someone who has mastered their gift to a certain degree in order to help others with it.

Some Common Pitfalls to Watch Out For

I have found through many years of using psychics, clairvoyants, etc. that some can see certain types of things but may not be able to assist you at all with what it is that concerns you. For instance, you call someone who claims to be clairvoyant and you want to know whether or not you will have a reconciliation with your lover and she sees that you have a new puppy and that you’re wearing a yellow scarf and you are blown away by this information. Wow, incredible. That is a gift for sure–to be able to do that and see that without seeing or knowing the person. So many everyday people have psychic gifts but that does not necessarily make them capable of helping you with a serious situation in your life that requires specialized help or someone who is experienced and knowledgeable and skilled in their craft at getting you real psychic answers channeled from Higher Consciousness.

Now even though that particular clairvoyant was able to see what you were wearing and that you had a new puppy does not mean that they can see clearly and profoundly the answers you seek. Their ability may not be a match for your concerns. I have found that people who are amazed by just small, little things like that tend to believe everything that clairvoyant says when in reality their gift is a gift of seeing “You” physically and what is in your physical surroundings, which is an excellent talent called remote viewing BUT is not a skill match for your reconciliation question or your career question. It is worth developing as a methodology for certain types of readings. But the tendency to “believe” everything from that point on is very strong because to an inexperienced seeker of psychic advice, this is amazing enough to cause you to make the erroneous determination that this person can see “everything”. And that is not the case many times over. So all this is to say, ask the psychic you may be calling or contacting to spell out exactly what their expertise is and you make the determination that this psychic is the one for you.

If a psychic is empathic, they can “feel” another’s feelings/emotions. If a psychic is telepathic, they can know another’s thoughts. If a psychic is clairvoyant they can see the past, the present and the future through visions. If a psychic is clairaudient, they receive/hear information even sounds in their mind. If a psychic is clairsentient, they can actually capture information through physical sensations associated with you or a person you are asking about. Keep in mind that the skill level of each practitioner is going to vary and this is another bit of information you want to inquire about. How much experience do they have?

All these abilities alone if untrained or at the beginning stages may not be able to assist you but when combined with training, experience and knowledge, you can a have a most unique experience with an authentic intuitive advisor that can help you in powerful ways that will assist you in your personal empowerment, provide insightful answers to your questions and probable outcomes. Remember, outcomes are based on the current energy that surrounds you at the time of your reading and without a doubt can change. Many people are under the mistaken perception that if it’s meant to be, then there is nothing you can do to change a thing. There are indeed some things that occur in every life that are destined to be because of certain preordained events that must take place in the life for your soul’s growth or in many, many cases, due to karmic debts and the resulting correction of imbalances created by misuse of certain energies in previous lifetimes. Then there are other life experiences where free will is at play and it is your very decision or action that is the thing that is being tested. So a psychic reading is not meant to bypass experience because your soul will undergo what it must to complete its “stopover” on this plane of existence, but an expert psychic reading can help you to identify that which is eluding you or some point you seem to be missing and help point you in the right direction. Or, your psychic can identify a block or a karmic pattern that you are having trouble dealing with. Sometimes it’s not just what Mom and Dad did to us as children. Sometimes just to become self-aware is empowering in and of itself. To become aware of something significant through guided spiritual forces can have an overwhelming effect on a person. It could be that very moment which becomes a turning point in your life. The true psychic spiritual advisor has done their job well if they can help you in this way. But they are not a substitute for experience and a professional, ethical psychic would never try to make you dependent on them.

What a Psychic Should Not be Telling You

Also, conversely, we should take a look at, what a psychic should not be telling you. A psychic should not be telling you what decisions to make. Always take away from your reading empowering elements that help you to make your own decisions about your life. An ethical and responsible psychic should never predict death. They should not propose doing spells for you that will change the course of events or another person or to negatively affect another’s life supposedly for your benefit. Engaging in this type of activity will only bring about negative karma on you and this psychic, and the karmic consequences could be devastating. This is totally unethical. A psychic should never tell you that they can make something happen for you because that is patently false. No one else can “make” something happen for you because a psychic advisor does not have any special powers to control your fate or others behavior. Psychic advisors are suppose to be spiritual people who have chosen to help others using spiritually developed talents but never choosing to use those talents to boost their own ego, control another’s will, or make you psychologically dependent. Those types are out there. Beware of psychics who tell you that they will need to perform “energy work” on you through long meditations at a great cost. If they tell you you have a negative block or curse this is a notorious psychic scam. If you encounter a psychic like this, even if they do seem to have psychic ability, do yourself a favor and hang up or leave immediately. You may want to read my article How to Spot a Fake Psychic to expand your knowledge in this area.

So, know your psychic, have a clear idea of what it is you need to know so you can make the best selection. Ask your psychic what they specialize in because no one specializes in everything. Let them stick to what they know or at which they are best doing. And make sure that they have training and experience. There is nothing worse than getting a psychic reading from someone who does not know what they are doing even if they may have a gift that is undeveloped and not qualified towards something specific. Do your homework, ask the right questions and realize the limitations of a psychic practitioner. No one but God is all-knowing and 100% accurate. Ignore anyone that makes these types of claims. That’s just for the gullible and uninformed.

Psychic ability is something we all possess to greater or lesser degrees, and it’s something that can be consciously developed. Some people do have a an intuitive “gift,” just as others may have gifts for art, mathematics, athletics, etc… Through focused desire and concentration, however, we can all enhance the abilities we were born with.

Meditation is the most commonly prescribed practice for spiritual development and increased psychic awareness. The word “meditation,” however, tends to be daunting to beginners. What is really needed is simply to get quiet and pay attention. “Visions” and other experiences of extraordinary awareness happen when we’re hyper aware of subtle energies and influences. It has been said that genius is simply energy focused intensely and consistently on a certain matter. To become good at perceiving, then, we must practice getting quiet and paying intense attention to small stimuli and subtle energies.

It’s important to note that not everyone is visual by nature. There are three main modes of perceiving: visual, auditory and kinesthetic. Those who are visual learn best by seeing, and think with pictures in their minds. Those who are auditory learn best by hearing, and “talk” to themselves more in their minds. Those who are kinesthetic learn best by doing, and tend to get “gut” feelings and to process experiences physically through movement or attention to their physical sensations. Just as we all have five physical senses, we all perceive through all three modalities, but most of us have a primary or favored way of perceiving life.

As this article focuses on “visions,” we’re going to be working with visual perception. We can begin to “flex” our inner vision through some basic exercises. We’ll begin by better seeing in our minds something in our physical experience. Pick a simple object like an orange, apple, banana, or even a book, a shoe, etc… Look around and grab something that “catches your eye.” Now sit in front of the object and study it for a moment. Study its features, but then “step back” and just take it in as a whole. Now close your eyes and try to reproduce it mentally. Study it again, and then repeat the process of envisioning it within. Your inner vision should get crisper.

Now close your eyes and simply envision color. Begin with red, and work your way up the color spectrum. See a splash of pure red, then imagine two or three objects that are red, then go back to seeing only the color. Then move to orange, then yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. Take your time and try to move toward a sense of ease as you visualize the colors and objects.

Now we’re going to advance our inner vision skills by picturing someone we’re presently close to. If you have children, you might pick your child’s beloved face, but you can choose anyone you see on a daily basis, as long as it’s someone whose face you know well. Close your eyes and try to recreate his or her visage in your mind. Spend as long as it takes until you get a crisp image. You’ll find it easier if you try to remember a specific experience and picture that person as you saw them then.

Now pick a person in your mind who you were once very close to, but whom you haven’t seen for several years. Again, pick someone whose face you once knew very well, and try to recreate his or her image in your mind. You’re likely to find yourself in a memory to do this, and that is fine. Get a very crisp image, and then choose someone you’ve not seen since childhood, and again recreate a clear image in your mind of this person’s face.

Now choose a person you’re presently close to but who is at some distance from you. It may be your mother in a nearby city, a child at school, or even your sweetheart at work. Hold a vision of his or her face a moment, and then say to yourself, “Spirit, show me what they’re doing.” Then trust whatever pops into your mind. Remember that you’re playing, experimenting and exercising here. Pay attention to what pops in, versus what your rational mind may reason out. For example, I just said, “Spirit, show me what my mother is doing,” and I saw her reading in her bed. I then looked at the clock and thought it was too early for her to be in bed yet. There may be a tendency for you to want to guess first, and base what you see on that. Try to just allow images to pop up, and don’t analyze them for now.

Now that you have an image of someone and what they’re doing, ask Spirit what they’re thinking or feeling. Say, “How does this person feel?” As I do this with my mother, for example, I HEAR, “She’s tired, and worried about your brother.” I have no reason to think she’d be worried about my brother; now I’m starting to get some information that I would never have “guessed” at, but which must be coming from somewhere.

If you’re a very visual person, you may get symbols or other visual information. For example, you may see a happy face, or you may even see something like a sunflower or rainbow if you’re being told “happy,” or a storm cloud or the color red if the person is angry. At this point, your job is simply to allow perceptions in, and to ask more and more questions in order to interpret what you’re shown. For example, you might see a sword, and then you would ask, “Does this mean she’s angry?” You might then get a feeling of no or yes, or you may get other information that helps you to understand.

You can set up a system with your own higher self for yes/no answers. You might, for example, assign “to the left” the answer “no,” and “to the right” the answer “yes.” Then when you ask a question, if you’re kinesthetic you’ll get a feeling of going left or right. If you’re auditory, you might hear yes or no, and if you’re visual, you might see a pointer going left or right in your mind. Use whatever symbol feels right to you.

Now ask a simple question. You might ask, “Will it rain tomorrow?” and see what kind of answer you get. It’s better, however, to ask a question you care about, for there will be more energy in the answer. However, if you’re very attached to the answer being what you want it to be, you may have trouble remaining objective.

Play with this approach, and allow yourself to get creative with it. Improvise, experiment, and above all, have fun with it. The bumpy and harrowing road is the one where we try to will ourselves into greater awareness. The smooth and easy path is one where we simply allow ourselves to play, and to trust what we’re shown. Success is much easier to attain when we relax and allow.

Of course, your beliefs and expectations will affect your experiences here, as they do in every aspect of your life. If you don’t believe it’s possible to develop psychically, you’ll find it difficult or impossible. If, however, you believe anything is possible with the proper focus and energy, and you believe in magic, magic will flow over, under, around and through to find you.

There is a need in all of us to question things in our life; to wonder, to contemplate to verify, to know. Sometimes that need leads us to someone who can bring insight and clarity into a matter that may be troubling us based on Higher Guidance. Why is it that some can get the value of a spiritual consultation or psychic reading, while others become susceptible to fueling the human conditions such as emotional deprivation, depression, grief or perception of loss of any kind; and, instead of alleviating these things as a result of psychic advice regarding an issue in your life, the readings shift into filling an emptiness that becomes increasingly difficult to manage and triggers what is termed “psychic addiction” or “psychic dependency.”

 

I recall a reading I was giving on a psychic network on the web, where thousands of advisers were offering their services–although no special skills or knowledge is required to give advice there. Since I own and operate my own service outside of any network, I have been able to experience a sharp disparity in the seekers who call network psychics and seekers who call for a private consultation.

Most often, seekers of psychic advice who are calling psychics on a network will call hundreds of different psychics asking them the same questions. Even when advised not to do this, the temptation is too strong for them to resist. They call and call trying to determine if what one psychic said would be verified by another, then another and another.

On and on until the querent (the seeker) begins to call psychics armed with information they “believe,” because they have been told, and which now takes on a new quality or dimension in a reading which actually begins to alter the baseline circumstances and causes a shift in what is picked up from psychic to psychic. In other words, somewhere the initial concern gets cluttered with unsubstantiated facts and predictions and consequently new feelings arise out of what they now believe and begin to feel they already know. A real psychic picks up thoughts, feelings, etc., but when a querent has new feelings and thoughts based on what they have been told my hundreds of psychics, this becomes a form of “transformed energy.” Many psychics find themselves struggling with what they “see” versus what the client is telling them. It takes a skilled spiritual adviser to get past these new beliefs and pre-conceived ideas and to get to the bottom of the matter, undiluted by junk (most likely idealistic and often fanciful information where things turn out precisely as the seeker wants them to). A common misconception is when a psychic picks up on another’s emotions and when favorable to the client, it is mistakenly turned into a favorable prediction of the future. This is where skill and experience is necessary.

Many times these predictions are not accurate although many psychics pick up similar details in the past and present; so you can imagine the kind of confusion that will develop over a period of time after consistently going from one psychic to another. Suddenly there is no clarity, there is only confusion, there are no answers, and there are many answers. In fact, there are too many answers–too many viewpoints, too many subjective opinions, too many readings from too many different [misguided] advisers who say opposite things from each other. Then, in the confusion, the seeker continues to ask psychic after psychic trying to get even more answers and it becomes a vicious cycle. This is particularly evident in large networks with large numbers of individuals trained to give script readings or cold readings-a place where the chances of finding an authentic psychic is about two in literally hundreds (approx. 0.5%). This is not a place for someone who has psychic dependency issues. Getting psychic readings can be just as addictive as anything that one can become dependent on– as addictive as drugs or alcohol. As studies have shown, the tendencies are usually already there genetically for drugs and alcohol as these addictions span familial generations. For people who have found themselves addicted to psychic readings, a similar process is going on. Of course, there have not been clinical studies verifying psychic addiction compared to drug or alcohol addiction, or psychological addiction; but rest assured the same impulses and tendencies are inherent in this behavior with just as serious consequences resulting from calling too many psychics too often. The seeker now is going to the psychic to get a temporary fix where the idealistic, unrealistic information given now is what the seeker is seeking rather than illumination. The seeker becomes addicted to the “good feeling” he receives after hearing that everything is going to work out exactly as he or she wants. This works for a while until the seeker comes to the full realization, that they have been a victim of deceptive practices or even as a result of well-intentioned psychic advisers who find themselves susceptible to these pitfalls. That’s when things get ugly and there are now thousands of bitter seekers who may finally reach a genuine psychic who can help them, but will never be able to recognize it because this is the point where a seeker calls and is “abrupt, impatient and ready to harass” an unsuspecting and real spiritual adviser.

I would like to point out my experience as an authentic psychic intuitive and the impression I am left with when I speak with seekers on a network as compared with those in a private consultation. Those who call me privately usually have done their research about psychics, most have often already been through the network psychics and have become totally disillusioned, yet their own intuition is telling them that something real is out there. They just have to try a little harder to find someone who is legitimate, someone whose ability is outweighed only by their integrity and deep commitment to truth.

Individuals who come to an authentic private psychic adviser are, for the most part, ready to hear the truth and they are relaxed and open and do not usually have barriers. If there are barriers, because the consultation is not interrupted when your money runs out, the private adviser is able to relax the client and prepare them for an authentic reading before they start. Unlike on networks the seeker wants to jump right into their reading without hesitation in varying states of mind, and often times is not ready for a real reading because they are on the clock and in a hurry. During a private consultation, seekers can get the answers they need, leave the reading feeling empowered and positive and will feel satisfied until their next reading. Psychic networks enable people who have psychic dependency. They do not help with their problem; they just make it worse by causing them to spend more money than they can afford exacerbating their problems as opposed to alleviating them.

I also found that many seekers on networks can be abrupt, impatient, totally unappreciative of the process of getting a real psychic reading and really do not know what a real psychic reading is suppose to offer or what they should reasonably expect. At this point they are frustrated because they have gotten too many readings and they don’t know what to believe and are somewhat angry and this puts up a barrier to tuning in properly and connecting with Higher Consciousness for the reader. A psychic cannot answer all of your questions. They do not know ALL. They can give you their “impressions” based on the questions-usually a piece of the puzzle. They can guide you to find your own answers, using your own intuition. But a psychic needs to start clean with a situation but when a client brings in so many varying factors (e.g., beliefs and ideas that they have received from other psychics), this presents a block. Some psychics will create a fantasy and the seeker then, in turn, feeds on the fantasy, which is totally unethical. A good psychic will help you to find your self, your center and give you exceptional insights, predictions and accurate information. But it is amazing how most network psychics for the most part cannot make accurate predictions. I have found that both the seeker and psychics feed off of each other, turning the experience to one that is far from real, spiritually connected knowledge. They are using each other. I have often times found it difficult to read seekers on networks and I’m sure the experience was mutually frustrating, and this is not what a reading is supposed to be.

For those who have found themselves feeling out of control because of their need to have constant readings, you will need to get this under control by seeking professional counseling as there are other underlying issues that need attention and the average run of the mill fake psychic working on a network will not be able to help you. You must do your part to break the PsyCle of Mutual Exploitation! A private psychic consultation with an authentic psychic intuitive will show you what a real spiritual reading really is. It can answer your questions and leave you feeling free, not shackled to an interminable sense of hopelessness and helplessness and “needing” to get on the fast food psychic junkie circuit. You can change any habit and this one could very well be easier than you think, especially once you find out what a real psychic reading really can do to improve your life.

A psychic reading is something that can be a very rewarding as well as a valuable experience. It is something that is not so hard to find; you can find them on networks on the web, you can find ads for them in the back of magazines, or promoted on television commercials. They are not hard to find–or are they?

 

With the immediate availability of psychic readers all over the world, it should be a very simple process to find one. One of the most common ways to find a psychic is to do a search on the internet. You type in real psychic readings or “authentic psychic readings.” After all, with the very prevalent perception of all psychics being fake or tricksters, you definitely want to be careful in your search because you want to make sure that you are going to get a real one.

Most of us know that intuition exists and there is quite a bit of documentation out there supporting the credibility of gifted persons who are able access energy and see information connected to you clairvoyantly, empathically and in other ways. Some use their natural gifts without any tools while others use their gifts using divination tools such as tarot cards, numerology, runes, I Ching, and list goes on. In short, people with special “spiritual gifts” have the ability to tune into people voluntarily and sometimes involuntarily, giving them access to hidden truths and eventualities about others.

But wait…..hold on….

Let’s say you are one who has had many psychic readings. You’ve gone to so many and you’ve heard many things that sounded true, things that you hoped would turn out to be true, and you spent a lot of time and money waiting for the predictions you were told would happen, to happen. After talking to so many and being told the same things by so many, and after patiently waiting, nothing ever happens. Why is that?

It is either extremely fortunate that psychic networks are able to find thousands of genuine psychic advisers from all over the world, or, perhaps they have taken the opportunity to take advantage of the fact that many people who are hurting and vulnerable will readily believe that people who symbolize or represent spiritual integrity are authentic. Basically, they say they are psychic, so therefore they must be. Well, no, not true.

The point that I try to bring home to people is that those that represent themselves, and especially through networks (because of the sheer numbers), to be psychic are not necessarily psychic. And you should not have to call hundreds of psychics to find one real one. The reason this topic is so important is that you could spend thousands of dollars only to find yourself disillusioned beyond belief because you came to place to get answers and clarity.

THE MAIN POINT TO UNDERSTAND WHEN LOOKING FOR A REAL PSYCHIC READING

It is important to understand that the widespread perception of what a psychic is, from the seekers point of view in the first place, is that when you call one, they will tell you the “GOOD” that is going to happen in your future. After all, you most likely are calling because you are hurting and feeling in need of something good to happen or are hoping that some new situation will turn out in your favor. This is not “Psychic Reading,” this is “Fortune Telling.” This is the current paradigm that exists for a large number of psychic services worldwide. The so-called psychic advisers are doing their job as they have been trained to do–tell the caller something good, never tell them anything bad (and the truth is not bad, but we must not assume they even know the truth), make them feel good. This is their job!! Remember that! Their job is to make you, the caller, feel really good. And when this happens, you feel almost intoxicated with the belief in what they have said, and almost readily you accept the scenario and quite often you begin to feed off of it, even if is not true, was never true and will never be true.

So, fortune telling, that’s what you’re getting from large masses of available psychics waiting to take your call–it’s like fast food. Satisfying at first, but oh so bad for you in the long run. Most are trained script readings whose job it is to tell you your good fortune. There are variations of course. Some are better than others and the worse cases I’ve seen are those who have talent and try to con you into giving them money in exchange for removing negative energy or curses. This is ludicrous. And because of this, there is a prevalent negative perception of psychics in general from skeptics and critics who clump everybody into this fortune telling category. So in order to break away from this stigma, real psychics have a job to do in order to separate them from this unfortunate reality. It is not easy because the few real ones are often working on the same networks and it’s like finding a minnow in the sea.

HOW TO GO ABOUT GETTING A REAL PSYCHIC READING

The answer to this problem is, of course, awareness. After you become aware of the truth about this “imitation” psychic paradigm, then your eyes begin to open, the veil is removed and the secret exposed and it begins to lose its power over you. Now you will be more careful in your selection of a psychic adviser and you will tend to not believe everything that is said in a “for-entertainment-only-type psychic reading. Where there are literally thousands of psychics waiting to take your call, there is a slim chance of finding an authentic one who represents the highest professional standard of training and education in the divination arts. Take this advice:

1. Take yourself and your psychic seriously, or, resign yourself to entertainment only status;

2. Avoid networks that do not regulate their requirements for their psychics and search for real psychic readings;”

3. Look for a private psychic consultation;

This is important. Suppose you were looking for a therapist or other professional practitioner. After you found someone, you would not go from this one to that one persistently.

4. Ask yourself, why am I doing this with psychics?

There can be deeper reasons why this behavior can occur, but is it that you “didn’t hear what you wanted,” or you “weren’t convinced, or you “need to hear it over and over?” But, generally, when we find a professional that is good for us, we tend to stick with that person. That is what I have found with my clients. My clients usually are either new to psychic readings or they have already gone through the psychic reading circuit and are ready for authentic answers based in the Truth. Those are the people that find me. I can’t tell you how many people call me daily to tell me their stories about their experiences with fake psychics including the most notorious scheme about the curse or negative block that must be removed. This is a despicable scam, but I cover this topic in my article about fake psychics and how to spot them. (See, How To Spot A Fake Psychic-Changing the “Imitation” Psychic Paradigm). Fake psychics are an abundant reality. Understanding this truth is the first step in finding a real psychic counselor.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT PSYCHIC

You have to be discerning, you have to take responsibility for your life and be a part of your spiritual reading because it is your spirit and intuition that is equally at play in a genuine psychic reading. You are part it, not separate from it. A real psychic reading can open you up to spiritual awareness in you that will empower you in your life. A real psychic reading was never intended to be a substitute for you fully engaging in all the aspects of life involving choice and action. Think of life as a school, you are here to learn, to grow and that cannot happen if you are not fully engaged. Never use a psychic as a substitute for life choices because this limits you and we are all limitless beings capable of tremendous achievements. Definitely, there are real psychics who understand their true role in this type of service; but it is service, and the seeker has to be aware of how to use a psychic reading for their benefit which is also the responsibility of the real psychic intuitive in adhering to a high standard. With your awareness, a real psychic reading can work wonders.

Some Helpful Tips for Your Search

When searching on the web for a psychic reading you are now aware of the pitfalls of large networks with no standardized qualifications for their psychic advisers. This puts you the seeker at a disadvantage right off the bat.

Use search terms like real psychic readings, real psychic, authentic psychic readings, real testimonials for psychic readings about the one you are researching. In other words, be conscious about your search.

When evaluating a psychic’s site, make sure it’s not just a one-pager with no apparent history and just a phone number or buy buttons. If you cannot find out anything about the psychic, don’t call them. I’ve heard a lot of horror stories about some private sites too that are just scammers waiting for you to come along. Do the following when searching for an established private psychic intuitive:

Find out how long their site has been up? You can do this by doing an internic.net/whois.html search for their domain name.

Also, search for their name in the search engines and see what’s up.

Check ripoffreports.com and search for their name and see if there are any negative reports about them.

See, didn’t think you’d have so much homework did you? It’s not easy, but it’s not impossible either. Just Be Conscious and Be Authentic With Yourself. Unless, it’s alright with you to get “feel-good” readings, the above tips for finding a real adviser will help you in your search for authentic spiritual counseling.
