Its official!!!

I have been having so much fun with the live psychic chats, and have been having so much success with teaching others how to open up their gifts!! I have now done three live sessions, with the session starting with everyone being nervous and then trying it out, and then being SHOCKED with how intune they have been! Providing accurate results with reading other people that they have NEVER met or talked to in their life! Its amazing and so excited to be a part of that!

Suzanne and I have decided to do this for others as a "class" and will be taking place SEPTEMBER 30th at 8:30PM (Eastern Standard Time). There is a 10.00 fee to participate and can be purchased on the left side of this facebook page (look under my picture). Spaces are limited to 10 people. If we have enough interest, we might do a second class as well.

What do you get?  You get FULL access to myself and Suzanne for a MIN of 2 HOURS! We will teach you how to open your gifts, you can practice reading each other with the help of myself and Suzanne with interpretation, and then we will "open the floor" to allow you to ask us any questions you want! We will teach you how to meditate, to open up your gifts and to trust in your own psychic abilities. Allowing you to finally "hear" your own spirit guides and learn the difference between your inner voice and your guides.

Once you purchase your "ticket" to be able to participate in this event please email cheri22@gmail.com with "psychic event" in the subject line. I will confirm your placement. On the day of the event within 30 minutes of the start time, you will be emailed a link to the private chat room! This is a limited event so make sure you book early so you don't miss this opportunity. This is exciting!!

If you have any questions, please post below and I will respond:)

What do you think?

Suzanne and I have been thinking about doing something together for everyone that would be alot of fun and not your "regular" type thing. We have an idea, and wanted to see if there was any interest in this.

We were hoping to do a chat room style, that would include myself, Suzanne and 10  - 12 other people (MAX) We would do live readings for everyone (both of us) Help you with your own interpretation, or directions in life.. opening your own gift and basically allowing you full access to us for 2 hours!

We would be charging 10.00 per person and would have a day session, and a night session depending on what works best for everyone. If we do 12 people, then two of those spots will be free and given away to two lucky people! These are LIMITED spots.

This more likely will happen in mid to end of September with more details to follow. Perhaps even a group meditation as well! Who knows what we will include!

Does this interest you? If yes, please post in the comments section (this does not mean that you are committing yourself, just means that you like the idea and would consider doing this).. If you have any ideas of things you would love to have included or have a question about something I would love to have your feedback! We are all ears, tell us what you want:)

Lets do it!

Okay, so we had 9 people who volunteered to try out their own psychic gifts. I would love it if one more would join!

I would love the people who responded below this post, to email cheri22@gmail.com and write in the subject line "BLOG CONTEST". In the message body, please let me know approx where you live (city/country) and your time zone. (not to mention the preferred time available as this is hopefully going to be LIVE on a chat room) I am going to try and match people based on their preferences and I will try and do at least one a week (or two depending on every ones availability!).

So if you did  not mention below that you were interested, I am hoping we can have one more person so its even. If your interested, whoever responds to this comment first will be allowed this opportunity and will then need to follow the instructions above:)

Feeling distant from your Significant other? Try this!

I know that sometimes in life things get busy. Trying to conceive becomes more of a chore than something done for fun. People are stressed and we start to argue a bit more. Most of us have some empathic abilities, which usually means that you are going to notice something being "amiss" from the relationship and really wanting things to be back to normal. Rekindling the marriage (or relationship). Its sometimes just as simple as using visual techniques to provide that "instant" reconnection.

This is not a quick fix, but just a start to get things back on track. Love takes commitment, time and effort. So otherwise, you will also need to change how things work and connect.

Using the same technique as the "apron of light". I want you to be in a quiet area, so that you can concentrate. Its best to sit with your hands in your lap, with your palms facing up. Close your eyes and relax. Visualize yourself wearing a small white apron tied around your waist. There are the same strings of light that are attaching from your apron to your husbands apron. See how many strings there are, and visualize them being really strong. Pull on them and see that they do not break. I want you then to visualize that you are braiding these strings together and have three thickly braided "ropes" now attaching your apron to your husbands.

This is showing your spiritual self the love and commitment that you share and "bonding" you and your partner again in order to make things head back in the right direction.

This really does work! When your feeling down, or you had an argument, do this technique, and you WILL feel the difference.

This will work regardless of who your significant other is. So whether your with a husband/wife or same sex marriage, or just in a "common law" relationship or boyfriend girlfriend.

Let me know if you have any questions about this.

Don't forget, Suzanne is running a discount on her readings right now right below her picture on the left. I believe shes only going to be running it for about two weeks!

Crystal and Indigo Children - Do they exisit?

I saw this comment in one of the previous threads about my feelings on Crystal children and Indigo children so I thought I would weigh in and give you what I feel when trying to gather information on this subject.

I do have to admit, that I have NOT read any of the books related to this topic, and when first asked about it, my guides are giving me the indication that its not really accurate in the sense that people seem to interpret it.  I have been googling it the last day or so trying to get a better understanding of what its supposed to mean in order to better explain what i am seeing.

Here is what they mean, then my views.

Copied from (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indigo_children)
Indigo children is a pseudoscientific[1] label given to children who are claimed to possess special, unusual and/or supernatural traits or abilities. The idea is based on New Age concepts developed in the 1970s by Nancy Ann Tappe. The concept of indigo children gained popular interest with the publication of a series of books in the late 1990s and the release of several films in the following decade. A variety of books, conferences and related materials have been created surrounding belief in the idea of indigo children and their nature and abilities. These beliefs range from their being the next stage in human evolution or possessing paranormal abilities such as telepathy to the belief that they are simply more empathic and creative than their peers.


CharacteristicsDescriptions of indigo children include the belief that they are empathetic, curious, strong-willed, independent, and often perceived by friends and family as being strange; possess a clear sense of self-definition and purpose; and also exhibit a strong inclination towards spiritual matters from early childhood. Indigo children have also been described as having a strong feeling of entitlement, or "deserving to be here." Other alleged traits include a high intelligence quotient, an inherent intuitive ability, and resistance to authority.[4][6] According to Tober and Carroll, indigo children function poorly in conventional schools due to their rejection of authority, being smarter than their teachers, and a lack of response to guilt-, fear- or manipulation-based discipline.[7]


My Views

My guides give me the impression that although the original author of this had good intentions in regards to what she was seeing and how she was interpreting it, is that its not entirely accurate. I believe that Autism and ADD or ADHD (or any other behaviour issues) are "SCIENCE" related rather than spiritual. Things that have happened over the years from pesticides, medication, pollution..etc... and someone would rather try and explain it in a spiritual sense.

My daughter, has characteristics of what they have listed above, but if you as a parent viewed the list, I bet that EVERYONE would be able to find a few on there that match their child(ren). My daughter is empathic, telepathic, and at least a few other things on there. I know a child who is ODD (oppositional defiant disorder) who has also been labeled ADHD, but from knowing him for a few years and doing daycare for him, he definitely does not match the other "labels" of an "indigo child".

In my opinion, "indigo children" is a "label" to try and explain what is happening in a spiritual sense.

Crystal children
Its my understanding that this is a book (idea) written by Doreen Virtue who is well known in the psychic community (I do have one of her tarot decks). however, I get the impression while reading the information that this was written AFTER the indigo children books/idea became popular. Almost like its a way to further explain it but in a new way. The characteristics are similar, comments about the aura being different. I really feel that a persons aura is more about emotion, what they are feeling, the health of the person rather than what type of "child" they are.

Copied from http://www.starchildren.info/crystal.html

Doreen Virtue, noted author and expert on Star Children, has written about the characteristics of Crystal children. She says these characteristics may include:


Have large, communicative eyes and an intense stare.
Are highly affectionate.
Begin speaking later in life, but often uses telepathy or self-invented words or sign language to communicate.
Love music and may even sing before talking.
Are extremely connected to animals and nature. Are often very interested in rocks, crystals, and stones.
Are extremely artistic.
Are highly empathic and sensitive.
Are forgiving and generous to others.
Draw people and animals near them and love attention.
Often have good sense of balance and are fearless when exploring high places.
Often see or hear angels and spirit guides - both they’re own and others’. Dislike high-stress environments with many distractions.
Dislike loud/sharp sounds.
Dislike bright, unnatural lights.
Often enjoy choosing their own meals and/or when they eat them.
Often speak about universal love and healing.
Sometimes show healing gifts at young ages.
Don’t react well to sugar, caffeine, or unnatural foods/chemicals.
Dislike fighting or refuse to keep an argument going very long.
Often show strength in telekinesis (or Psychokinesis).
Often amplify emotional energies they gain from their environment (such as negative energies).
Can become uncomfortable when around electrical devices too long (watching TV, computer, etc.), sometimes resulting in a trance-like state.
Sometimes seem ‘clingy’ to their parents until 4 or 5.
Often stare at people for long periods of time (this allows them to read a person and find out more about them through their own personal memories and energy).
Can sometimes be manipulative and throw tantrums if they cannot create a reality that is good for them.
Are easily over-stimulated and need to meditate/be alone often to replenish themselves.
Don’t usually have trouble with fear or worry.
Enjoy discussing spiritual or philosophical topics.
May appear to be looking at nothing or talking to no one (sign of clairvoyance and/or clairaudience).


My views -
Again, just by reading the list, there is always going to be something in there that you will find that is similar to your child.

Now in regards to these things overall I really feel that the case is that we all come here for the same reason. To learn more, to become more spiritual, and raise our awareness to a higher level. To continue to achieve the greater good and learn specific lessons. There are people on this earth that are at a higher level. They have advanced by learning their lessons and operate in a higher frequency. We are all "equals" and meant to come together in our lifetimes to be a positive source. To experience life. I personally do not believe in "crystal or indigo children". Both based on what i have read, and what I have felt. My guides appear to shake their head and give me the impression that the information published/believed is not the right interpretation.

What are your thoughts? (don't feel bad about posting if you don't agree, would love to hear all insights/opinions)

Why interpretation is sometimes off

This is something that I wanted to touch upon because I think that its important for everyone to know this when using psychics or even trying to strengthen your own gifts, and why I always insist, that no matter how long you have been open to your gifts, its always going to be a learning experience.

When doing a reading for a client, I am often shown images in my mind. People I know, places I have been, objects, scenery, pictures..etc.. Alot of times this is what I am given when it comes to providing a reading for a client. They ask me for a ttc or pregnancy reading, and provide pregnancy history. I then immediately given a picture of a month, or "hear" it spoken in my mind, along with an indication of a girl or a boy. Most times, they will just provide a female energy, or male energy. Other times resorting to saying month and gender spoken. Right after that, images start to flood my mind and I do my best to try and keep up. I will be shown a few glimpses of what they are doing in different parts of their life. Like a young boy who is using a sticking and poking at a bug, getting close and wanting to see what its doing. Hes not trying to hurt the bug, but just wants to see., Hes curious. They show his hair being brown and they show it parted to the left. His shirt is striped and he is wearing shorts that match his shirt. .. This image will often be accompanied with a few details of where he is located. I can see grass surrounding him, but hes on a cement pathway (could be the drive way). The more I focus on the one detail the more information I am able to get.

Then they jump ahead...giving me indications of his personality as a teenager. Often showing me whether hes good with alot of friends, or prefers to be by himself. They will show how he is in school.. How he interacts. By this, they will show images of how it relates, or of people I know if they want to be more specific. Like a friend of mine, if they were very selfish, they would flash his or her image in my mind to give me an indication of a similarity in personality aspects. So if you figure your friend "jane" is very shallow, then that is the image your guides would use in order to get the interpretation of "shallow" across to you.

The thing with interpretation and images, is that your limited to your life experiences. Things that you know, experienced and seen. So lets pretend that I have NEVER seen a hippo in my life before, and they wanted to say that your son LOVED hippos.. because that word would not be in my vocabulary, and because I had never seen a hippo, I might not understand what they are trying to show me, and my relate it to a rhinoceros because that would be the closest interpretation. Usually I will have a good indication if something is a bit off, and will say it looks "similar" to a rhino, in order to give you a better indication that its close to this.

Same thing with career paths, I can usually get a really strong indication of what they are doing, but a child might be similarly linked to what I have seen, if I am un-aware of a particular job title.

So its always ever learning, growing with your gifts. This is why I always ask my clients for feedback, good or bad!


Another thing I wanted to touch on tonight... I had a client today mistake me for Jennyrenny. She was looking for when her reading would be scheduled, and since i could not locate a payment through my email or my paypal, I asked her to send me the notification. She had purchased the reading from Jennyrenny. I pointed her in the right direction and she mentioned that she had been told that myself and jennyrenny were the same person. So I just wanted to touch base, and let people know, that I am NOT jennyrenny or anyone else. You will ONLY find me posting as cheri22 or iamcheri22 on my blog. I do not go by any other name.

Jennyrenny is a very nice person, I have known about her for 6 years (we both started out on the todays parent forum). We are both two different people:)

Mulitple readings from multiple pyschics....

I have been getting this email from a few clients of mine in the last week. Asking me to quickly peek again into their reading to see if I will stick to the same gender and month as they have just gotten another reading from another psychic and they have seen different.

First and foremost, unless you have experienced a loss, or have gone out of your way to try and alter your reading (ie, using condoms to avoid the month predicted) then I will ALWAYS stick to what I have seen. When you second guess yourself its then that you will often find that you are off with your interpretation. You always need to be confident and see what happens.

When a client emails me with this, the first thing I ask is each psychic started off with the same information. You should ONLY give minimal information. I ONLY ask for your pregnancy history, and if its a trying to conceive or pregnancy reading.

I also tell my clients, to think about the readings they have been given. What their connection they felt with the psychic that provided their reading, who they felt better connected to. There is always going to be a difference. Someone who you feel compelled to contact, who you feel comfortable with, and actually a good energy vibe from. This is always going to signal a strong connection between both the client and the psychic. Always trust your own intuition!

Its okay to email and double check, I will always do my best to respond. I am perfectly fine with you letting me know you have contacted other psychics and will even refer you to ones I trust if you want to get more readings:)

My biggest piece of advice, is to not provide any more information that what is asked. I think that this allows you to really get a better sense of the information that the psychic is able to pull through in regards to your life, your personality, the personality of children already here, to come...etc... giving you the further connection that you have a good connection.

If you have any questions at all in regards to this topic, please let me know, I am more than happy to provide you with any insight!

Cheri

Your grounded!!!

I have decided to "fine tune" my skills by taking one of James Van Praaghs online courses. I felt that it can only further help improve and awaken my senses so why not!

I really found this interesting and wanted to share it with you.

Sit in a comfortable position, making sure your spine is straight. If you slouch, the energy cannot move up and down the body easily. Imagine a wire pulling you straight up from the top of your head. Close your eyes and take several deep breaths. As you do, visualize each breath coming into the body like a stream of golden light. This light touches and fills every cell, organ and muscle of your body. With each breath, you feel invigorated. As you exhale, imagine a gray mist exiting the body. This mist represents any excess energy, anxiety, fear, nervousness or apprehension that you may have.

Next, imagine that you are sitting in the center of your body. Visualize that you are looking out of your body from behind the middle of your forehead, right behind the brow. This is your third eye center.

Lastly, visualize three cords. One is tied to the base of your spine, and the other two are connected to each ankle. See these cords going straight down to the center of the earth. Imagine three big rocks at the center of the earth, and tie each cord to each of the three rocks. Concentrate on any excess energy in your space going down the cords and transmuting as it enters the earth. Visualize the energy of Mother Earth healing you as it travels up the cords and anchors you to the earth. You are now properly grounded and centered to begin your work. Remember to be patient, confident and joyful in your approach.

I really think that you guys should try this type of "grounding". Even if you are not going to open up your own abilities, it really does make you feel more relaxed and "in control". For those of you interested, James offers online courses to help start or even stregthen your gifts! They are inexpensive and so far easy to use!

For those of you who try the above mentioned excersise, I would love to hear how you felt after!

Dont forget, I am now on Facebook! Do a search for Cheri22 and "like" me lol.

Affirmations and you

I have written many times about it being "mind over matter" and that sometimes it really does matter what you think and say.. Trying to be positive can help with conception! I have located an article that gives you examples of how changing the way you think, can benefit you in many ways!


Changing your mindset is the single most powerful and important step you can take to change your life. The power of positive thinking has been studied by the psychiatric medical, scientific and spiritual community and they've all determined the same thing - positive thinking has power. Of course, changing the way you think is easier said than done. That's where positive affirmations become a very useful tool.

What Is a Positive Thinking Affirmation?

A positive affirmation is a statement you can use to replace a commonly held negative statement. For example, if you're always saying, "I feel fat," then a good positive affirmation to replace this sentiment might be, "I am comfortable with my body and am the perfect weight for me."

Positive affirmations help you change your thinking by giving you something to lean on. They help you stay aware of your thoughts, which is the first step to changing them.

Finding the Right Affirmations for You

The next step is to determine what your negative thoughts are and to replace them. Here is a great list of positive affirmations for women.

o My body heals quickly and easily
o I am the picture of good health
o The more grateful I am, the more reasons I find to be grateful
o I know that I deserve to be loved
o I give out love and it is returned to me tenfold
o I have a wonderful partner and we are both happy and at peace
o I am the perfect weight for me
o I make positive healthy choices for myself
o I express my needs and feelings
o I am my own unique self - special, creative and wonderful
o Everything comes to me easily and effortlessly
o I love and appreciate myself just as I am
o I accept all my feelings as part of myself
o I love doing my job
o I always communicate clearly and effectively
o It's okay for me to have everything I want
o I am getting wealthier each day
o I have an abundance of energy
o My mind is calm
o My thoughts are under my control
o I am successful in whatever I do

As you look through the list of potential positive affirmations, are any compelling? Do any of those affirmations ring true to you or cause a stir of emotion? The affirmations which resonate with you are good ones to start with. For example, if you've been struggling with your weight, spend some thing thinking about the negative self-talk you have around that issue and find a few positive affirmations which give you the strength and motivation to move through this challenge.

Affirmations are the first step toward changing your thoughts, however with any process; it takes time, practice, patience and a love and acceptance for yourself. Negative thoughts will slip in from time to time but as you practice, it will get easier. Trust yourself and the positive affirmation process. It will change your life.

Being positive truly has great power and the Gratitude Circle Blog can help you find those important positive affirmations for your daily life. While you're there, join the Gratitude Circle Gratitude Circle Newsletter, a newsletter and blog, full of inspiring stories, articles and tips for maintaining a happier, more fulfilling life.

To use positive affirmations, you can simply take a sentence or phrase that has some meaning to you and repeat it often. Some people chose to post them around the house on on their calendars or even have them emailed to themselves. They say the affirmation out loud and try to meditate on its meaning for a few seconds. The actual affirmation can be changed as often as you would like. Here are some examples for you to use:


•I am taking care of my body and mind in order to welcome a baby.
•My body is designed to conceive.
•My works works well in order to get pregnant.
•Patience and care help my body prepare for pregnancy.
•My womb is open to new life.
I trust my body.

New balance is coming to my body now.

My reproductive organs work in perfect harmony with my body to allow an easy conception.

Every time my period comes I rejoice in the fact that my body is functioning correctly.

My hormones are perfectly balanced and my menstrual cycles are becoming more and more regular.

My eggs are healthy and happy to be released during my next ovulation.

I ovulate around day 14 and my fertility signs are very clear to me.

My body knows how to conceive a healthy baby.

The most perfect egg is preparing to be released by my ovary and the most perfect sperm is preparing to fertilize it.

I allow new beginnings in my life.

Develop Your Psychic Abilities

•1
Be positive and believe that you can be psychic. Any disbelief, doubt or fear will hinder your progress. Developing psychic abilities may happen faster for some and slower for others, but everyone can do it. It is not reserved for special people.

•2
Learn to meditate. Meditation helps you relax and is a very important part of being psychic. When your body and mind are relaxed, you are better able to pick up the subtle vibrations you need to develop your psychic skills.

•3
Be attentive. Focus on watching and listening. Paying close attention to all that goes on around and within you will sharpen your ability to catch psychic signals.

•4
Keep a journal. In your journal, record your dreams, psychic impressions, thoughts and any "coincidences" that may occur during the day. This will help you track your progress.

•5
Practice visualization. When you start using your psychic abilities, you may receive some information as pictures in your mind. Visualization exercises will help you receive such messages accurately. One way to practice is to look at a picture then close your eyes and try to see the picture in your mind exactly as it is.

If you had the chance....

its always fun to play "what would you do".

Lets say that you were either driving your car or perhaps at home playing on the computer and the radio was playing in the background. You hear the radio person announcing that on the air they had a "baby psychic" going live for an hour on the radio and would be taking callers. Allowing the people who called in to ask one question.. would you call?? What type of questions would you love to hear the answers to?

James Van Praagh

I thought perhaps it might be more fun this way to put in a video. I went to see James Van Praagh at the River Rock Casino. Hes a spiritual medium and the author of many books. I LOVED my experinece, and shared a bit of it on the web cam. Please let any comments below. I would love to hear what you think, if you experienced anything, or require any additional information!

Becoming Psychic - 10 Ways to Boost Your Intuitive Abilities

I found a great article that I think that will be of great use to the ones who are trying to strengthen or open up their psychic abilities!

With the dawn of the Age of the Aquarius in the 1960's, the idea of developing psychic abilities hit a new stride. While interest in intuitive processes has grown and decreased at different periods over the last 40 years, there is a still a large amount of focus on psychic self-development. If you and your psychic impressions are strangers, how do you get to know each other?

Meditate: As a way of quieting the mind and opening yourself to your intuition, meditation is an amazing tool. Where meditation is particularly valuable is in its ability to quiet the mind and create focus. Controlling mental static can make it easier to tell when you're tapping into psychic impressions.

What's That?: Intuitive impulses will present themselves differently to everyone. The first step to utilizing your psychic powers rests in paying attention to them. Intuition can often appear in ways that are easy to ignore. Logic may seem to be absent and it can feel risky even stating what you feel. Even if you don't share your psychic impressions with others, document them in writing for your own posterity.

Practice: Spend a little time every day trying to connect with your psychic side. Find a space that feels comfortable to you, whether it's your bedroom or a local park. Think of dreams that you've had or hesitation you've felt in certain situations. Spend time with a deck of card, trying to "see" what suit or number is on the card before you draw the card. Just like your sense of taste changes when you pay attention to what you eat, focusing on your psychic impressions will heighten them.

Training Wheels: Many items like crystals, Tarot cards, tea leaves, pendulums and scrying bowls can be used to help develop psychic ability. Find a tool that appeals to you and use it with the intention of building upon your psychic talents.

Get Your Rocks: Energy is a part of any psychic situation. Learning to feel, sense and measure it will help with developing intuition. Working with crystals can help make you aware of the various levels of energy that each item on earth has.

Work With Your Strengths: Psychic abilities, like with every other skill in life, can vary from person to person. Just like some people see better than others, others are more clairvoyant than others. In terms of psychic powers, there are different areas of skill: clairvoyance (seeing the future), clairaudience (hearing the future), clairsentience (feeling what others feel) are the main ones.

It's important to determine where you are most comfortable so that you can work your strengths to your advantage. If you're a natural clairsentient but only look for clairvoyant impressions, you will be missing out and may even convince yourself you're not psychic. Having skill in one area doesn't mean that you can't or won't develop in others so work with what you have.

Find a Friend: Working with a like-minded psychic buddy can give you more options in terms of practice and support. With a partner, you can try distance experiments in clairvoyance as well as mind reading. The paranormal also happens to be a misunderstood subject; having a friend to discuss experiences and concerns can ease tension and increase comfort levels.

Visualize, Listen or Feel: Working with psychic skills requires you to relearn your senses. There is regular sight and clairvoyance - when clairvoyance appears, it can seem like you're imagining things. You have to relearn what these senses feel like to be able to recognize when they appear.

Relax: One of the keys to develop your psychic impressions is to relax. Tension and stress will affect your ability to perceive intuition and will reduce your ability to trust in what you feel. Psychic development requires a fair amount of faith in yourself. Do whatever you need to relax, support yourself and foster a healthy self-relationship.

Rome Wasn't Built In A Day: With every new psychic experience, your abilities and strength will have a chance to increase. Give yourself a chance to grow psychically and relax any expectations you have in terms of progress. Many people spend a lifetime following the path of psychic development; every day, your perception and intuition will get stronger.

The biggest asset in developing psychic abilities is have the desire to be psychic. Self-belief goes a long way to recognizing and increasing psychic potential. Once you've tapped into your psychic abilities, your life will slowly transform for the better. So get out there and get sensing!

Fate?

I think that this is something that comes up quite frequently in life. Often wondering just how much is fate, and planned in our life and just how much control we have. Before we come here, we draw up a blue print of our lives. This is our life plan. What we plan to learn while we are here, the lessons we hope to learn, the people we will meet that will help us on our journey. So often, when in a horrible situation, people often contemplate that perhaps its "fate" and that they need to stick it out.... Well is that really the case?

I think that in the grand scheme of things, a lesson is always around when something is unpleasant. Its up to us to try and learn it. Does it mean that we need to stick it out in order to learn that particular lesson? I think that depends on you. Overall, the blueprint is just that. a guideline. A way for us to continue on our path to forever learn. But as like most blue prints here, things get changed and altered.. expanded and make more room. Additions are added (like a blue print when building a house). So if your unhappy in your life, do you need to stay that way? Thinking that fate has brought you to this point? No. The choice is yours to make the best of what has come, to find the solution/lesson here and learn it, and be able to move on. If its just too overwhelming and depressing your soul then its time to move forward and leave that behind. Your blue print will allow for this, there is room to be flexible. What happens then is that the lesson is brought up again, perhaps with someone else. The opportunity is, that perhaps in this new situation, might be easier to solve and learn.

So if your in a relationship with someone , and your being treated unfairly, and everything you do ends up with the same results, you have that choice.. the ability to take charge of your life and decide that you are going to be happy and that you choose to move on.

This goes for any job, friendship, love...etc.

I believe as I have always said, that everything happens for a reason. Than than racing forward to try and force things to come to you will often leave you feeling overwhelmeed and unsure. For example... I currently also run a daycare during the day (I had no daycare kids during the summer) I have one family right that has two kids, which work out part time. I thought perhaps having another child might be nice, but then also thinking how nice it is to have a few days "off". I thought of trying to locate a family with a child that might fit the situation. I was a bit stressed/worried about if I should or if I should not. I actually commented to a dear friend of mine today about this very situation. Eventually telling her that I was going to let go of the worry. That I knew that what was meant to be would be, and that if another child was meant to be here with us, that it would happen. And guess what... I got a phone call today, from a mom who's step daughter is friends with my eldest. She needs care of her child, which will also be flexible and possbily be part time which is in a similar age group to what I am currently working with. It will fit right in with this and is exactly what I wanted!

So also sometimes, allowing yourself to be open to opportunity is also a good thing. because when your so focused on obtaining something, at times you might not realize that your pushing it away. When you release the stress and worry things usually have a way of falling into place. So put faith in yourself, and trust in the ways of the world. That things will happen as they can, that you can wait and see what happens, and allow the solution to come, or you can take charge and move forward to the next lesson that will come your way. Just make sure that you trust in your instinct and do not allow your spirit to be depressed. You are worthy of love.. and it needs to start by loving yourself.

Hopefully my rambling makes sense. Its been something I have been meaning to post for a few days now, but time seems to be going faster than you expect it:)

How To Listen to Your Intuition

1.Turn off that car radio. Giving your physical hearing a rest can expand your inner ear.

2.At home, turn off the computer, the television, and the stereo. Spend a half hour or so in quiet meditation or solace.

3.Spend some quiet time alone in nature.

4.Pay attention to energy shifts in your physical body. Pain is telling you something is wrong.

5.Keep a dream journal.

6.Take moments in each day to clear your mind of distractions. Visualizing a chalkboard being erased often helps with this exercise.

7.On your way home tune in to see if you can "guess" how many pieces of mail are waiting for you in your mailbox. You will be amazed how accurate you will become at this over time.

8.Keep a synchronicity notebook to write down all your so called "coincidences."

9.Follow your hunches. Prepare to be amazed where they lead you.

10.Notice scents around you. What emotions or memories do they stir up?

11.Start noticing "markers" or "signs" that bring about particular sensations in your gut.


Tips:
1.Try not to get bogged down with any nagging NEED TO KNOW when you are given a particular message. Explanations come along with intuitive messages on a "need to know
basis."

2.Using your sixth sense is just like working a muscle. It will get stronger the more you use it.

3.Take cues from your pets. Animals can be especially sensitive to psychic energies.

Reiki can be an uplifting experinece

I have told many of my clients over the years about trying Reiki for the first time. For those of you who are interested in opening your own psychic gifts, this is a step that would allow you to open up your gifts on a new level. Even having them teach you is something that would provide some enlightenment.

The first experinece with Reiki I have, is being attuned and taught by a reiki master locally. I had no idea what to expect. I had never been with anyone who knew reiki or had a session. I was excited to try it. During her attunement you have to keep your eyes closed, I was sitting in the chair and eyes closed. During her session, there was images flashing through my mind, and near the end, I was shown a pink flower, blossoming. It was almost looking like a pink water lilly. I guess that is the best way to describe it.

She told me I could open my eyes. It was hard, I could not see and was having trouble focusing. I started to laugh and asked her if this was "normal". She said that she had not had anyone take to the reiki attunement as I had, and said I was like a sponge. I explained my vision of the pink flower and she was amazed, saying that the flower I described is a showing of a more spiritual awakening. It was exciting. She taught me what I needed to know for the reiki level one. I did a session on her daughter and felt my hands heat immediately. It was a surreal experinece that to this day, I can tell you EVERY thing that happened. Including me going back to my car to drive home and worried that I would not be able to drive as I felt light headed.

I have been telling people its worth the experience to either have a reiki session done on you (its so much more intense being hands on with a reiki practioner, but is still pretty good if you know someone who can do the reiki distance:)

One of my clients recently went through this experinece and she decided to share her experinece with everyone in case your curious.



Cheri,

I wanted to share this with you in the wake of your negative client. It's easy to blame someone for things not turning out when they are*supposed* to. I think sometimes the timing is off; people still have things to learn or go through before *things* are *supposed* to happen doesn't mean you’re wrong, just not within this time frame. But you already know this. I wanted to share this with you last week, but I held off since you had a lot going on. But now is a perfect time. You suggested that I get a Reiki session done back in June of 2009. Well I finally got around to it, and let me tell you it was one of the best experiences that I have ever known. During the session I wasn't quite sure if it was going to work, but the complete calm and love and stillness that I feel now, I completely know that it has worked. My Reiki master used a pendulum to locate the areas that were blocked. The only area that did not move was my heart, and I cried. I had a 45-minute session and after she held the pendulum over my heart and it started to move. She said I had so much energy that it was actually refreshing working on me. What I've noticed in the week that I've had my session, I've quit smoking cold turkey with no withdraw symptoms, I have no stress, I do not have that nasty feeling in the pit of my stomach when I become angered, (I don't even think anything has made me angry) I've had clearer dreams and I have this complete sense of calm. I'm planning on going back when I don't feel as complete, and I've also given thought of learning Reiki myself. So I guess my point of this e-mail is to thank you. I thank you because I would have never experienced this wonderfulness if I wouldn't have known and trusted you. So for all the *negative* that you hear, remember the positives are out there in greater numbers. You've helped me in so many ways, words cannot express.

Thanks
C.B.

your loved ones are always with you....

I guess this post could not have come at a better time. About a week ago, I was in the shower (one of my alone times! lol) and I was thinking. I wanted more information on how to translate when someone crosses over, which "side" they come from. Its then that my guides provided me the diagram that I have shown below. Its showing that we are always surrounded by the ones we love. Here and into the afterlife. Our guides continuously follow us around and try and guide us in not only the important things in our life, but sometimes the silliest too.

I posted the other day about following your guides advice even though small and I really should have listened to myself. Yesterday before having to take off my heart monitor (for fast heart beat they think it might be stress) I decided to take my youngest and my two daycare kids to the park. I am 3/4 of the way there, and think that I should be taking the kids to the washroom. I recognized the suggestion, but felt if I listened to stopping at the pool first to use the washroom, then my youngest would assume we were going swimming and then freak out when I did not take her in the pool. So I IGNORED that voice giving me the suggestion and carried onto the park. I get there, kids are out and having fun.. literally FIVE MINUTES goes by and the 5 year old had an accident. He said he just could not hold it anymore. I told him if he had let me known sooner, although we were not close enough to goto the washroom he could have peed on the tree!!! So needless to say, something that would have taken me about 5 minutes for the washroom break when I was "told" to do it, ended up costing me 30 minutes in time to rush back to my house, give him a pair of my eldests daughters jeans while I ran his clothes through the wash/dryer.

So sometimes listening will definately be worth it! I am kicking myself as I do recognize when they are giving me an idea that should be followed, but we all have free will and so we sometimes choose not to follow along:) I guess for those of you who are just learning to tune into your guides its harder to follow as your not always sure if its your own thoughts or that of your guides. The more you listen, the easier it will be to recognize where its coming from:)

Now to also start this off... my grandfather passed away last night at 1:30am. I do feel slightly bad about it of course because I did not make as much of an effort as I should have about going to see him. I could give you excuses about working, daycare, busy, life.... but truth be told, its about WHO is in your life, not about WHAT.. so please, make sure that you spend the time with your loved ones and not have to think about "I wish I had....".

From the draw the other day where we were able to draw five people to win (CONGRATS AGAIN!) Danielle who was post #33 has recently already recieved a reading from me and has decided from the goodness of her heart, that rather than using it again on something she already now has the information from, shes picked another person from the list to win. She has picked VERONICA!!! So congrats to you veronica on winning. Please contact me at cheri22@gmail.com in order to claim your reading!






The chart above explained:

"You" - Obviously refers to yourself

"Significant other" - This refers to your husband or wife, or partner, significant other..etc.

"Guide" - This is your spirit guide(s) They always follow behind you

"paternal/maternal relative" - This is the spot that any relatives would occupy when accompaning you or when involved in a reading wanting to show the connection they have with you. This would relate to any cousins, grandparents, aunts/uncles..etc.

"kids" - this is the spot that they show when a child is on its way or has a message for you (which in turn you might dream about. they could occupy this spot when waiting to be concieved or already on their way (pregnancy)

"Teacher" - This is the spot that your guide or loved one who has passed over will occupy when in the middle of helping you with a lesson or difficult time in your life.

let me know if you have any questions about this chart, or they way I have interpreted the information. Its meant to show you that your never truely alone when it comes to energy and spirits. That they are always surrounding us in love and understanding. If you were to feel an energy/spirit that you were unsure who you were feeling, you can use this chart to try and interpret the images as well.

Reconnecting on a spiritual level

As promised, I wanted to share a new technique with everyone!! This will allow you to reconnect with your partner/significant other/husband on a much deeper level. Most times when on a trying to conceive journey we often loose sight of the connection or the romantic portion of ourselves. It soon becomes a "chore", all about the timing and about making sure that the sperm meets the egg... Rather than the love shared between two people and the act of trying to make a baby. Its hard to refocus your attention on other aspects as with most people, this journey often involves charting, temping, paying attention to cervical mucous and other signs that either the egg is on its way, or that your starting to feel pregnant!

So why not start reconnecting first on a spiritual level? Allowing this to bring you both closer. Getting along better, paying more attention to each other and remembering the love that got you to this point in the first place.

Lets start!

MATERIALS NEEDED
Two pictures - one of you and one of your partner. (its better if no one else is in the picture and no one is wearing hat or sunglasses)
Colored "String" either pink or red

I want you to poke holes in the picture of your partner along the right side of his/her photo (while its facing you).. not too many that it rips it apart, but enough that its still "close". Then I want you to do the same thing on your picture but the left side (again while the picture is facing you). Then I want you to take a ribbon that appeals to you and symbols love.. usually pink or red, but whatever works for you. Then I want you to put both ends in,...one on your side and one on his/her, then alternating sides through the holes (to look like laces). At the bottom (or top depending on where you started) I want it tied into a bow. I want you to then hold the picture now sewn together against your heart area. In your mind (or out loud if you prefer) i want you to say "by binding these pictures together of myself and (insert husband/partner name here) i am allowing our connection to be happier, more loving and passionate" Anything else you can say that would be positive about perhaps even saying that you will both get along better enjoy each other company.. dont include anything negative (even saying "we Will fight less" as this too is still kinda negative)

Then I want you to sleep with it under your pillow for at least one week to 8 days... during that time if your feeling disconnected from your husband/partner for any reason at all (it should definitely lesson from the first time you did the stuff above) take it out from under your pillow, again place it on your chest near your heart and say the same things... you will be amazed at how this STARTS to get you guys back on track.

if you have any questions about this process or notice a difference would love to hear your comments!

Clairsentience....

Developing Clairsentience

Clairsentience means ‘clear-feeling’. It is perhaps the most down-to-earth of all the intuitive gifts. Most people use clairsentience on a daily basis. This looks like your feelings sending you intuitive guidance. For example, you may experience a feeling of discomfort and then intuitively feel impulsed to look behind you only to see someone staring at you.

How clairsentients receive intuitive guidance:

Gut feelings : gut feelings allow you to sense very quickly whether or not you like and trust someone. In readings, my gut gives me a sinking feeling when the situation I’m assessing will have a negative outcome and I feel an uplifting sensation when the situation is a positive one.

Empathy : picking up on the ‘vibes’ and feelings of other people. Empathy can be a double-edged sword. It allows you to put yourself in other peoples’ shoes more easily. However, if you’re an unskilled empath, you can be like a sponge, absorbing and feeling emotions which aren’t your own. Do you ever experience overwhelming negative feelings which seem to have no cause? Then you could be feeling someone else’s feelings.

Physical Sensations : Clairsentience also speaks to you through sensations in your body - like tickling or pressure.

How to develop your clairsentience

Ask a friend to show you a picture of somebody they know well (but make sure you don’t know the person in the picture).

Look into the person’s eyes and tune into their energy – how do they feel at the moment of the photo being taken? If this is the first time you have consciously used your clairsentience, you may just pick up on a basic negative or positive vibe.

Ask yourself what this individual is like as a person. Ask yourself whether you trust the person.

Is there anything else the person’s eyes are revealing?

Now check with your friend ? how accurate were you?

Psychometry:

This exercise involves getting hold of an object that someone has worn regularly, like a watch. All objects absorb energy from their owners and if you are clairsentient, you can tune into this energy residue. Hold the object in your hand for a minute or two. If the watch is holding a lot of strong positive or negative energy, you will probably pick up on that. You may also be able to feel what type of energy.

Listen to your chakras

Use your emotions to tune into your own energy.

Lie down or sit comfortably. Open each chakra, beginning with the root chakra. Visualize each chakra as a coloured wheel spinning horizontally and bring the energy outwards, about one metre outside of your body.

Then ask, how do I feel in this energy centre? Ask each chakra one by one. See if you get any sensations in your body or emotions that are connected to the chakras.

I would love to hear how everyone made out with practicing the above. Leave your comments in the comment section and I will give the winner a reading with myself (sibling express reading $15.00 value) I will leave this open for one week to allow you enough time to try it out. Winner will be announced January 18th:)

I have mentioned in previous posts

that things are a bit slow right now... It had gotten me thinking that perhaps its for a reason. Although being psychic allows me to gain access to information for your life paths concerning all aspects, when it comes to myself, I am blank and not usually given much information. (I need to learn in this life just as much as everyone else). I might get premonitions that warn me of an event about to happen, but most times have to go through the same ups and downs as everyone else.

It was during this thinking that my guides directed me to my archangel oracle cards. I had a feeling that they had something important to tell me with out providing me too much information. So asking my guides (Tomas and Serlina) for their guidance in drawing the cards that would allow me to continue on my own life path, they directed me to draw three cards. I thought perhaps I would share with you as they completely make sense to me and helps me refocus and continue to move forward.

FIRST CARD

Counselor
Archangel Azrael: You are a natural counselor, and many people benefit from your guidance and reassurance
Your life purpose involves counselling people in ways that uplift, motivate, comfort, heal and inspire. You're a true spiritual counselor and people find you to be trust worthy confidante. Expand your counseling work to the next level, because you're about to help greater numbers of people.


SECOND CARD
Creative Writing
Archangel Gabriel: Make time to write down your thoughts in a journal, or pen an article or book.
Your soul longs for creative expression through writing. I can help you schedule this activity. Honor any inner nudges that guide you to write. The writing may be for your own enjoyment, or may be a cathartic experience of self expression in a private journal. As you work with your connection to the written word, you may receive Divine guidance to write articles or books for publication.

THIRD CARD
Take Back your power
Archangel Raziel: Use your god give power and intention to manifest blessings in your life
You are luminary: a sage, a wise one, a high priestess/high-priest, a wizard, and a supreme manifestor. Now is the time to summon up your spiritual strength and power and put your authority into action. Lovingly and firmly transform your intentions into reality. Say prayers about your intentions into reality. Say prayers about your intentions and ask for guidance and signs to shape your manifestations to the highest possible level.

For those of you who follow my blog (or can take a peek back around new years) one of my goals this year was to grow in my own gifts as well as help those of you interested in growing your own. I do believe that the cards are showing me that this is about to happen and to continue on this path. They have also provided me more direction that makes complete sense with the timing that is currently happening!

So... being in a good mood and feeling good about the direction, I am going to offer the first THREE people to comment in the comment section, their own three card archangel reading for free:)
