The pathways to spiritual growth have never been wider or included more avenues of exploration.
The modern spiritual seeker has a myriad of resources and information: gurus, teachers, therapy, self-growth, spirituality, religion, yoga, mindfulness training, meditation; the list is seemingly endless and there’s a path for everyone.
Spiritual connection can help people find their center, a connection to God or the Divine, greater wisdom in their daily lives and greater capacity towards love and compassion.
Ask a Psychic: How Can I Enhance the Positive Energy in My Life?
This week’s question comes from a client who’s become increasingly aware of the role that each of us play in creating the lives that we desire.
She’s begun to follow her own spiritual path; immersing herself in various metaphysical studies and opening up to spiritual teachings on-line and in her community.
She’s been inspired and encouraged by the results she’s already achieved. But she also feels that she could be doing something more.
She’s looking for greater meaning in her life and also wants to use what she’s learned to help others.
Relationship Compatibility – Astrologically Speaking
Often when I am perusing discussion forums or websites that have questions about astrology, I see the most common one: “How does (insert zodiac sign here) get along with (insert other zodiac sign here)?”
I do see some trying to take a stab at answering, giving the typical, “…you are both Fire signs, so you should get along great” response.
Not only are these nuggets of wisdom misleading to the novice who is reading them, but, just comparing the Sun signs of two individuals as the end all of whether they would make a great couple is a disservice to astrology.
Friends with benefits ~ Is it a good idea?
Love comes in many forms and expresses itself differently with each individual in your life. It’s a wonderful thing to be able to talk comfortably with someone and share your thoughts without having to “impress.”
That’s what friends are for, to be able to connect with them on a deep level and share a little piece of yourself with them without feeling judged or ridiculed. Friendship is a form of love that binds people, gives them joy, makes them have fun.
When there is a friendship between two people, this feeling of comfort and compatibility can take on a different level.
Ask a Psychic: Is it Time to Move On?
This week’s question comes from a woman who was blind-sided when her live-in boyfriend pulled the plug on their relationship on the eve of their engagement.
She’s since moved out into her own place a few miles away — taking their dog with her, which is one thing that has kept the two of them in ongoing contact as they’re sharing custody for now.
She feels like her life is in limbo, despite having made new friends and gotten involved in different community events as well having taken steps to disconnect emotionally.
But it’s been hard for her as the ongoing contact makes it difficult for her to detach completely. In the meantime, she’s considering moving back to her hometown where she has a large support network of family and friends.
True Love Or Just In Love With The Idea Of Love
Christmas, New Years, Valentine’s Day are all holidays that seem to bring out the marriage proposals. Now with those holidays in our rear view mirror, it’s time to take the next step and get caught up in the frenzy of wedding planning, or is it?
Maybe I watch too many Life Time movies but it seems to me that not all the proposals were well thought out before they were made. In olden days, the prospective groom went to the father of the prospective bride to ask her hand in marriage before he actually proposed. Some families still have that tradition but for most it has gone by the way side. Fast forward about twenty years, the couple fall in love, you buy the ring and propose.
What I’m seeing more and more today are the way out there, over the top wedding proposals and I just can’t help but ask myself, are they saying yes because they really want to get married. From the looks on some of their faces it brings me to the conclusion they are totally caught off guard in front of a lot of people and they don’t want to embarrass themselves or the prospective groom by saying no.
Ask a Psychic: How Do I Know Where I Stand?
This week’s question comes from a woman who’s been seeing a man she met on a popular dating website for the past four months.
While they’ve been seeing one another semi-regularly, he does make a point of reminding her how much he loves his freedom. While he hasn’t expressed a desire to become exclusive, he has expressed jealousy over the prospect of her seeing others.
She feels like she’s getting a lot of mixed messages from him. She also wonders if there is a potential for things to develop into a more serious relationship or if that prospect will continue to be just out of reach.
Ask a Psychic: How Can I Restore the Balance in My Life?
This week’s question comes from a new mother who is looking for some spiritual guidance.
She has a 19-month old son who is the love of her life. But since his birth and she returned to full-time work, she says her life feels completely out of balance.
She has no time/energy for her own needs and put on a lot of weight and has begun to feel completely disconnected from her friends, her creator, and her own soul’s direction.
She realizes there’s no easy answer, and being told to “just make time for herself” feels laughable. She wants to know how to get some balance back into her life without sacrificing time with her child.
Is Your Soul Mate a Jerk?
That first night, you stayed up all night talking. Sharing hopes and dreams. Talking about the past, dreaming about the future. True Bliss! Your head is in the clouds for weeks.
This is it! This is the one you have been waiting for. This is the one that makes you forget about all the losers you tolerated in the past. This is the one that made all the heartbreaks worth it! Or is it?…
Months later …
It’s all you can do to hold on. You wonder why they aren’t as open. You wonder what you could have done wrong.
You wonder if they are losing interest. You wonder why they no longer communicate the way that they used to. You try to change yourself into what you think he or she is looking for in a relationship. You lose you, you forget who you are.
