In the Land of Psychic Dreams & Storms

June 2nd, 2011

Last Saturday we had a really bad storm.  There were tornado warnings in ours and all surrounding counties.  My sons and I were sitting out in the sun room watching the lightning and rain.  We had our local radar pulled up on my laptop and watched as it refreshed every five minutes to update the severity and location of the storm.

My boys, being only 9 and 11, began to express some fear when we saw that the eye of the storm, this giant dark purple blob on radar, was heading right for us and would likely arrive in the next 5-10 minutes.

I said a prayer of protection and envisioned a massive, glowing, translucent bubble around our home.

Over the next 10 minutes, we sat and watched as the storm center literally split apart and went around us on the radar.      The angry looking, dark purple center broke apart and turned to the light green of rain as it traveled over our home.

My boys were amazed, and a little disappointed.  They’d been looking forward to watching more storm, but alas, it had simmered down to only a light, misty drizzle.

Did we split the storm with prayer and visualization?

**shrug** I dunno.  I wondered, myself.

Two nights later, on Monday night, I had this dream.  There was a tornado in it so I figured it was due to the recent storms and tragedy I keep hearing about, but there was an underlying feeling in me that the dream meant something.  I chewed on it all day Tuesday.

Wednesday (yesterday as I write this) I recounted it to my best friend, Ash.  Here’s my email to her.

So I’m in this city.  I know where I am, but I don’t know where it was.  I don’t think it was important.  I was somewhere near home.  I’m in my old red Nova… a car I owned ten years ago.

There are people with me.  I don’t know who they were, but in the dream, I knew them.  Three or four people.  We’re in the car at a red light and I am facing North because I can see the lake.

All of a sudden this MASSIVE tornado appears in the distance and is clearly traveling directly toward us.  I’m watching it coming and I reach a point where it becomes obvious that it’s NOT STOPPING and I turn to the others and say, “It’s not going away!  We have to get out of here!”

I bail out of the car and right there at the curb is this huge church, all cathedral style of massive stones.  I run toward it praying, “please be open, please be open, please be open,” as I go.  I get there, the door opens, and we all burst inside.

I run to the front of the room and look out this wall of window and watch as this mile wide tornado splits into four separate tornadoes that then spread out from each other to rampage in different directions…

And then everything became still.

We went back outside and my car was still sitting at the light in the street, running.  There was a heavy dampness in the air, and the entire ground was littered with tons of green leaves that had been ripped from the trees, but that was the only damage.

I don’t remember anything else….

And it’s not that I think we’re going to have a tornado.  I feel like the whole thing was completely metaphorical, and personal… specific to me… a message..

I remember a while back I dreamed I was carjacked and Pam came that day to give me a massage and when I told her about it, she said that your vehicle in your dream represents your life, and that being carjacked in my dream most likely meant that I feel like my life is being taken over or controlled and that I feel like I have no control.

And that’s exactly how I’d been feeling.  I just hadn’t named it.

So I’m pondering this odd dream.  And I don’t even want to look up with a tornado might mean because there’s been so many lately and WE’VE had tornado warnings.  Two touched down about 10 miles south of us last week.  I can’t imagine I chose a tornado for any reason other than they’ve been on my mind lately.

Any thoughts?

She said…
My vehicle is my life, and although there is great chaos around me(the tornado), when I seek refuge and protection in my Spirituality(the church), I will be safe and my life will go untouched(my untouched car sits idling).

And because of the stormy topic, I was reminded of what had happened days before, and I started recounting the above story to her about the storm we’d had. I was probably halfway through the story when I felt like I’d be smacked in the face with a brick!

I was telling the same story as my dream almost!  That storm split apart, and diverted around us just as those four tornadoes had formed from the one and split apart to go around us in my dream.  And just like in the dream where I was safe in a massive stone cathedral of God, in the storm I was safe in the white light of God.

I’d lived out the experience of the storm, and when I questioned whether the storm had just pooped out or if I’d prayed it away, I was given that dream, all cloaked in metaphor as an answer to my question.

So, from my own experience, and in my personal opinion, verified by God….

Ask protection and visualize it there because the power in that request is enough to make miracles.

I’ll not question it again.

Psychic Development

May 19th, 2011

I’ve always wanted to be psychic.  As a matter of fact, this entire Spiritual path of mine came about because of that interest.  I stumbled onto the concept of  “intention-manifestation”  while Googling  “psychic development”  back in 2002.

I was twenty three years old.

Now, nine years later, I see flashes of things behind my eyes.  I hear words in my head that don’t come through in my own voice.  I’m poised to turn left and suddenly “know” I should instead, turn right.  I ask questions and receive, sometimes immediately, the answers.

They’ll tell you that in order to develop you innate psychic abilities, you should meditate, and practice.  They’ll tell you to keep a dream journal and write in it immediately upon waking.  Some will even tell you to purify your body and become a vegetarian!

I didn’t, and still don’t have the patience for those things.  Upon finding, and learning about intention-manifestation, my very first intention officially set was to develop my psychic abilities.

Television and movie characters lead us to believe that psychics have these amazingly vivid visions, and spend their time talking to ghosts.  I’m sure that in some cases, that’s true, but it’s not the norm.

I learned all I could about intention-manifestation which of course lead me to The Secret.  Then I explored witchcraft.  Then I read The Da Vinci Code!  Wow!  That book changed the way I looked at everything!  I began exploring the Spirit.

Once my exploration of Spirit began, I read Wayne Dyer, and Deepak Chopra often.  The pair quickly became, and have remained my favorite authors on the subject of Spirit.

Doreen Virtue introduced me to my Angels and Guides through her Angel Therapy Handbook.

Here is what I know to be true.  Here is the greatest truth I have ever learned.

We are all constantly surrounded by beings of light in the form of Angels, Archangels, Spirit Guides, and the Earthly departed.  Anything you ask of them, they swing into motion for you.  Being “psychic” is simply a description of how open the lines of communication are between you and them.

There’s no one way to be psychic.  There’s no one way to send or receive communication.

Sometimes I will hear a voice, plain as day, and it’s SO loud, I’m not sure if it was out loud or only in my head.  This isn’t a normal occurrence for me, but it has happened a few times.

Sometimes I’ll ask them for help, and shortly thereafter the perfect solution will appear.

Sometimes I’ll see something that will trigger a thought in my mind that leads me somewhere and sets off a whole chain of events that takes care of something I’d been asking for help with earlier that day, or even earlier that week.

Just because you don’t consciously realize you’re having a psychic moment of communication doesn’t mean that, that’s not what it is.  But the best way to encourage conscious psychic communication, in my personal experience, is to be the first to communicate!  Say something!  Ask a question.  Ask for a sign.

Speak as though a legion of Beings are waiting for you to ask something of them, because they are.  But because we are humans, gifted with our free will, intervention and communication can only come when you ask it to be.

I believe this is what is meant in the Bible in Matthew 6:33 “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”

Go into the silence and seek out God and your legion of Heavenly Beings and ASK, and all these things will be added unto you.  And this has absolutely been my experience.

It’s only been recently that I’ve been actively seeking out my Angels and Guides.  And by recently, I mean like… the last two months maybe.  I would always talk to God, but having Angels at my side was such a nice thought that I embraced it fully and have been actively seeking them since.

So, allow your inner guidance to merge with the heavenly guidance that’s always available and let the psychic experiences be in whatever form they come in.  But the more you talk and ask and listen and communicate, the easier the guidance is to recognize.

Let There Be Cash

May 4th, 2011

I’ve been listening to the replays of the “Healing with the Masters” series that’s going on right now.  I’ve found some speakers to be very informative and others I didn’t even listen to the whole interview.  Everyone is at a different level and all one can do is take what’s relevant to you and leave the rest. Right?!

Well, last week they had Mahendra Kumar Trivedi.  I didn’t know who this was before listening, but through listening I have become completely enamored with this man.  I searched him on Youtube to find out more and found TONS.

He created a foundation to study himself.  They’ve currently conducted over four thousand scientific experiments on his abilities, and seen effects all the way down to molecular levels.  He’s literally changed DNA.

Now, I’m not a born skeptic as I’ve said before.  I WANT to believe.  But the things this man claims is so fantastic, it’s a little hard to swallow, even for a believer such as I.  Because I believe we ALL have the power of God built right into us, and I believe this because I see my own power multiply regularly, as per my intention for it to do so.

It helps me that Deepak Chopra likes him.  It’s easier to swallow when someone you truly respect, respects the person in question.

So anyway, Mr. Trivedi is doing these blessings.  Three of them on three different dates.  More on that here.  And the cost is $150.  I don’t want to be scammed, so I decide to see what my Angels think.

** I’d like to participate in the 3 blessings from Mr. Trivedi. Is it a good idea for me to do so? Is it conductive for my purpose? **

The four cards told me…

#1~ General theme ~ Gram is with me and guiding me here.

#2~ Possible Block ~ Focus on your divine purpose and stop being indecisive.

#3~ Angel Guidance ~ We’re acting for you if you will only ask.

#4~ Expected Outcome ~ “Archangel Raphael” I am a healer like you and am guiding you into your light.

So I’m thinking that’s a yes.  But still, it’s $150.  And on TOP of that, I’m wanting to manifest $275 to work with this woman that I just met.  That’s $425 extra, unaccounted for money to manifest.  But I’m not gonna look at the problem because it’s not MY problem.

I’m no longer indecisive.  I want to be a healer.

I journaled my card reading as I’ve been trying to make a habit of doing, and at the bottom of the entry, I added the following intention/request:

♥ Angels~ Please bring me the one hundred and fifty dollars so I may attend Mr. Trivedi’s three energy calls if it is what will help me to live my divine purpose. ♥

It’s been six days.  Every morning at some point, I find five minutes to stop, and center, and clear my mind, and then I ask, even though it’s more of a statement… “Make me a channel for divine healing” and I focus on the crown of my head and I feel like the hair there moves. LOL  I know there’s energy there.

Last night as I sat down to look over Eden’s bills for the month, I realized that the month of April was a five Friday month.  That’s an additional $400 that’s unclaimed and unaccounted for that I have to spend in the month of May.  If I throw just $25 on the pot, which I can totally swing, I have the amount of money I need to do the Trivedi calls AND to work with the woman I met.

Another synchronous point is that the calls are scheduled for 9:00 pm EDT.  As the Domestic Goddess in charge of Eden and all it’s inhabitants, I have had trouble participating in things because there are certain hours of my day that are just for my family, and these hours are often when most other people are finally free.  There really couldn’t be a more perfect time for me to participate than 9:00 pm.

So… looks like I’m signing up for everything!
