What does it take to be a Psychic?

People often ask, "What do you have to do to be psychic?"
The answer is simpler than you may think.
You have to listen. It's really that simple. There are good listeners and not so good listeners in the world. You've all been involved in those conversations when you are not with a good listener. I'm sure you can remember talking to someone and realizing that they were just not getting what you were trying to say. Or, worse yet are the ones who constantly interrupt. It seems we humans have a hard time shutting up and allowing others to speak.
What a psychic has to learn is how to shut up their mind so that they can receive the messages. There are a few tricks to it. You have to learn how your psyche is wired and how you are going to receive the info. Eg. some people are clairvoyant(clear-seeing), some are clairaudient (clear-hearing), and some are sensory(physically sensing). Others use a combination of these abilities. I use simple exercises to help people figure these things out, and then it's up to them to practice the listening part. For more information, see my book on Aura Reading! It's great fun, interesting and useful.

Aura Reading Book

My book on aura reading is available in hard copy as well as pdf!
This book is a very comprehensive manual on how to see auras and how to read them and it can be yours for only $20.

I have just watched a video about a woman who is a brain scientist who suffered a stroke. She explains how the two sides of the brain work and what happened to her when she lost the left (logical/analytical) side of her brain.
What really got me was when she was describing the "out of body" feelings she was having when she did not have control of her left brain. What she describes is very much like what I have felt after doing too many readings at a psychic fair. The inability to figure out where your body begins and ends, and where the walls and floors begin and end was quite familiar to me. (And people keep asking why I am taking a break from doing readings. Maybe this will help them to understand.)
Anyway, it's about 15 minutes to watch. Bring the tissue box along! Watch it on Healing Hands

Psychic Protection

Next on the agenda....Psychic Protection!

This is something I am asked about quite often in my line of work. People come to see me and are concerned that they may be under some kind of negative influence or attack. They feel their energy is being drained or that some kind of force is dragging them down. They may be bombarded by one misfortune after another, or in some cases, they may actually find themselves physically influenced by unseen forces. They are often unsure if it is coming from another person or from some kind of spiritual being.

Thankfully, I now provide some answers in one simple-to-use package! My new e-book Psychic Protection will help.

It explains what is happening and what to do about it. It gives basic techniques you can use to learn how to clear yourself and your environment and protect against negative energetic influences. Check it out: Psychic Protection

A Little Philosopphy

I chose the name Pathways Healing because of the symbolism it represents. Our lives are full of pathways. We are always trying to choose or follow paths in life. My goal is to help people choose a path that helps them in their lifes work, and leads to personal healing.

One of my heartfelt beliefs is that we are all intuitive beings who can learn to follow our own inner guidance. We are all searching for inner peace and harmony and the only way to really achieve this is to learn it for yourself. That is why I am dedicating myself to writing and educating so that students can find the strength to follow their own healing pathways.

Useful Intuitive Development Info

Here's a little suprise that is not really surprise.
I have been on a bit of a leave of absense from doing my readings. I have been putting the time to good use, developing some new products for you, my dedicated readers!
The not so big surprise is that now that I am not tuning in to other people and doing readings for them regularly, my attention to my personal situation is opening up a little more. It reminds me of years past when I hadn't yet started reading for others. I felt a little more aware of my own guides and my own feelings about my life. Now that I am less focused on others, I am happily finding some of those feelings and spontaneous glimpses or psychic flashes are coming more often and more easily. I think it pays not to have to force it to happen on demand and let things come at their own time.

How did I know?

I am very often surprised when people contact me long after a reading to tell me that something that I told them in a reading has come to pass.
There is this strange phenomenon that I tell people about when I do readings. I find that I forget most of what I say only moments after the reading has ended. It is almost as if I step into another world, do the reading, and then return to reality. I don't remember much of what I say when I am in that world.
At least with this latest feedback I can say it is great news. A long time client who has become a friend of mine as well, recently wrote to tell me that she was pregnant. She had her first reading 5 years ago, and at that time I told her that it would be 5 years before she had a child. At the time she felt that there was no way she was going to wait that long before starting her family, but she has some difficulties getting pregnant and before she knew it the 5 years had passed.
I am ecstatic for her and her husband. Congratulations and best wishes for a happy healthy baby!

Learn Reiki and Activate Your Psychic Abilities

One of the fastest and easiest ways to activate or turn on your psychic abilities is to try a Reiki course.
The attunement process a Reiki master uses to open up a student to channel energy is very similar to the kind of opening you need in order to access intuition and psychic ability.
In a Reiki attunment, the teacher opens up the chakra system which is opening up your energy gateways to help healing energy flow through you. When this energy begins to flow clearly students often also begin to pick up on things. They may find that when they put their hands on someone to send healing they begin to pick up information about the person at the same time. It is a natural part of the system of healing. If the practitioner is able to follow the guidance they will be able to ensure that the persons energy field is clear, increasing their body's ability to heal itself. The intuitive ability of the practitioner will benefit the client in another way as well. The client will be able to totally relax into the session instead of having to communicate to the practitioner where their aches and pains are.

By the way, I still have that one Root Chakra bowl for sale. Singing bowls also help to open your chakras!

One More Good Home

Hello there:
I am still looking for one more home for a crystal bowl. My root chakra bowl is well behaved, quiet, fully house trained and guaranteed to bring to bring hours of relaxation and enjoyment.
I have really started to feel more like I am finding homes for kittens or something instead of singing bowls.
The other two bowls went to a great home. It seems they didn't want to be separated. They came to me pretty much together and they were the only bowls I had for quite a while. I hope their new owner enjoys them as much as I have.
So seriously, I do still have a root chakra bowl for sale. Singing bowls are great for meditation, and the root chakra bowl would help the user and anyone in the vicinity to become grounded, and to manifest their dreams into reality. Anyone interested?
It's going for $200. Shipping in Canada would be included, but to the US I would need anything over $25 shipping covered.

Try a Welly On

What's this comment? A fellow Guelphite who has dicovered the Welly brewery?
I have tried the Wellington County beers. I am not happy that Creemore was taken over by Molsons, but I am weak-willed and I like my Creemore.
:)

Singing Crystal Bowls for Sale

I have these beautiful sound healing instruments that I have available for sale.
The instruments include 3 crystal singing bowls and a set of chymes.
The bowls are tuned to the heart, sacral and root chakras, and the chymes are for the upper 3 chakras. The throat, third eye and crown.
They have been with me for a few years now, and things in my life are changing. My work is taking a new direction, and I will be moving out of my office.
I have been thinking for some time about what to do with these items.
They are well loved and have been used in many healing sessions, so they are quite filled with healing energy. They are in excellent condition.
I have no room at home, and I have 2 boys that for some reason, no matter how many times I ban it, continue to play floor hockey and soccer in the house. I am keeping my third eye bowl and I might have to erect some sort of safety screen around it!
I just can't risk leaving the crystal bowls out in my home and I can't bear the thought of putting them in storage in the basement. They need to be out in the light!
I feel intuitively that there are homes for the bowls out there with someone who will love them as much as I have.
If and when I need them or something like them back again, they will come, I am sure.

All of them will include the suede wrapped dowel and a rubber o ring.
I would ship in Canada for these prices. In the US if shipping is more than $25 (for the bowls) to your location I will inform and ask for the balance before shipping.

Prices are:
Heart Chakra Bowl 10 inch
paid approx. $300, will sell for $250









Sacral Chakra Bowl 12 inch
paid approx. $250 will sell for $200









Root Chakra Bowl 14 inch
paid approx. $250 will sell for $200









Hand Held Chymes
paid approx. $25 will sell for $20

My New Email Signature

I love my new email signature quote:
"Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy." Ben Franklin

I hesitated to put it up for a few moments and then basically thought, "What the hell!"
If you read more about me, you will find that I do love my beer. I like to finish work on a Friday night and go down to the local for a couple of pints. Creemore Springs is my favourite. It is a little brewery not far from where I live in Ontario.
I don't think that I have to be absolutely pure in body and soul at all times in order to do good work. I obviously do not work when I am under the influence of anything, but I like to enjoy the good things in my down time.
I think the man who made the statement did a few good things for society, so I won't feel bad about my little vices. ;)

It also calls to mind all of the little things we have to be grateful for. Do we remember often enough how lucky we are to have such simple things as healthy food, nice things to drink and friendship? It can't hurt to be a bit more thankful for the simple things.

Losing Contact

My mayhem is gradually getting sorted out. It can take a while to get yourself into situations. You realize that something has gone crazy and by the time you figure it out and decide what to do with it, it can take a while to sort of get things back to "normal".
My "normal" is much more relaxed than the way my life is currently. Unfortunately one of the things that has gone on to my back burner is writing here. Other parts of life were calling my attention and needed sorting out, and I am learning to let go of things when I just don't have the energy for them.
One thing that I will say is that when you allow life to get chaotic, it is very easy to lose contact with the spiritual world. That loss is just not worth it. Whether you are being pulled away by people, work, stress , money etc. it is not worth it. Choices must be made to bring spirit back into life. Not always easy choices, but we must never forget that they are choices that we have the power to make.

Messages in Mayhem

A little thought on the mayhem that surrounds many of us.
Sometimes the mayhem is spirits way of telling us that we are doing something wrong. That we need to alter course.
Logic dictates the same advice, but we often need to look a little deeper to get to the real root of the issues.
If life is spiraling out of control, or if the things that you are trying to accomplish in your life are becoming more and more difficult, sometimes you need to take a step back and ask yourself if what you are trying to accomplish is what is really the best thing for you.
Humans tend to develop tunnel vision.
We keep trudging forward towards elusive goals that appear to get ever further out of reach. We struggle over obstacles. We have been programmed to believe that anything worth having is worth fighting for. The early bird gets the worm. The harder you work the more you will be rewarded, etc.
All that time and energy that is spent pushing forward makes us miss important clues that are calling to us from the sidelines. We miss other opportunities because we just don't have the time or the breath to look around.
A whole lot of philosophy about attracting abundance, the law of attraction and the illusion of lack could be inserted here as well, but my real point for the day is that often it is the reevaluation of the end goal that needs to happen. We can spend a whole lot of effort getting to an end result that might not be what we thought we wanted in the first place. Stop and listen for just a moment here and there. Try to be a little more present in the here and now, and you may be surprised to find out that you want to change your direction.

Psychic Leaps of Faith

It is sometimes difficult to think of new ideas to write about.
I was sitting here thinking, "I should write something this morning, but what?"
I read over my profile and saw my own words about what it is like to live as a psychic.
Even as I write the word psychic I am reminded that everyone is psychic to some degree, so I am not really so special. I certainly don't feel any different from anyone else.
I think that the most important thing about acknowledging your own psychic abilities is learning how to listen to the guidance that is all around, and acting on it. That can take a few years of practice, but the rewards are many.
The hardest part is trusting in the messages and taking the leaps of faith that they inspire.
I am taking one such leap this weekend.
There is a bit of a story behind this current leap....
I have several projects on my "back burners". I am extremely crunched for time with having 2 jobs and 3 kids. Life is complicated.
I have a huge home repair bill that I am trying to pay off, so money is pretty tight. (What else is new right?)
I was in the staff room at my office building and I saw a picture on the bulletin board that drew my attention. I started to read the flyer and the word, "trailblazer" caught my eye. I had to find out more.
The words, "back burner" also popped out and I knew that something was happening. As I read on I found that many of the words in the flyer were words that were echoing inside my heart. It was a weekend workshop geared to helping get those back burner projects back onto the front burner. I knew then that I had to go to that workshop.
I looked at the dates and my weekend (of course) was open. I don't have the money for the workshop, but I'll figure something out. I know that I will get something that I really need from the weekend, I'm just not sure what.
That basically describes, for me, what it is like to live as a psychic. Following those gut instincts and trusting in what they tell you to do. You don't know everything, and you don't always know why you are doing what you are doing, but you know that these things fall onto your path for a reason.
