All lovely options if a copy of “Adventures in Pamistry” is what you’re looking for. And, if you see me in person and you’d like your copy autographed, please remember that I’m currently looking briefly in people’s palms in order to write a custom signature for each book owner

5 Minute Meditation – All Fired Up

Posted in Alternative Health, Life Improvement, Living in a Magickal Universe, meditation, Metaphysical Basics, self improvement, tagged 5 minute meditation, Fire, Fire Meditation, Foresight on July 26, 2011| Leave a Comment »

We’re back with 5 minute meditation now. Previously

we’ve talked about whether meditation is for you
we’ve talked about how meditation can help you
we’ve talked about altered states
we’ve talked about meditation and how it works
we’ve talked about preparing for 5 minute meditation
we’ve talked about the monkey mind
we’ve talked about how to calm the monkey mind and still its chattering- method 1 and method 2
we’ve done a simple breathing meditation

Wow, that’s a lot of info. Feel free to review if you like.

Now let’s talk about another simple 5 minute meditation- using fire.

People have been fascinated by fire since the dawn of time. Because of this, whether it’s a campfire, fire in the fire place or a candle, fire makes a lovely focus for meditating. If you have access to a campfire or fire place, feel free to use those, but otherwise, from the 5 minute angle, a candle is the best option. For safety and convenience, I’d reccomend a candle in a clear jar with no labels .

Since you’re working with fire, you want to take safety precautions. Place the candle on a non-flamable surface, away from items that might catch fire like drapes or papers. Have a way to extinguish flame nearby and a plan for doing so. ( I like to set my candle up on my bathroom sink). Take precautions so that children, pets or enthusiastic adults will not accidently hit your candle and set themselves alight.

Now we’re ready to meditate.

Light the candle.
Position yourself in a comfortable position, arms and legs uncrossed, where you can clearly see the flame.
Gaze into the flame and focus on it.
Keep your mind focused on the flame, and if interfering thoughts arise, acknowledge them and return your attention to the flame.
Continue for 5 minutes, as long as your schedule permits, or as long as it feels good.

It sounds simple. It is simple- but it’s a great way to clear your mind, and access the other benefits of meditation. And it’s fun.

More meditation on the way

Happy Birthday to Me – Some Thoughts on Free Will and Time

Happy Birthday to Me – the Sequel

Posted in Food for the Spirit, Life Improvement, Living in a Magickal Universe, personal growth, Philosophy, self improvement, tagged Catherine, Foresight, happily growing older, Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday to Me - the Sequel, It's never too late to have a happy childhood... on July 21, 2011| 4 Comments »

For the past two years, it’s been my pleasure to blog on or around my birthday on the joys of getting older and of living your dream, regardless of your age.

If you’d like to revisit these posts with me, please check out

Happy Birthday to Me, Again

Happy Birthday to Me, Again, Part II

And, trembling (happily) on the eve of my 53rd birthday, I thought it’d be fun to look at the possiblities…

A lot of people think that, as you get older, all the excitement and fun goes out of things. That you’ve got to settle down/ grow up/be realistic/act your age.

That you’re basically dead inside, but haven’t had the sense to fall down yet.

Respectfully, I say nonsense. If you want to live that way, you can, but it’s not required of you. You can chose, instead, to have an amazing life…

You can age with style and panache. You can learn to tango with Life. You can do new and exciting places, meet and befriend fascinating people, accomplish astounding things, live (and love) your dreams. You can find your courage, spit in the eye of doing what’s expected of you and live extraordinary.

It’s never too late to have a happy childhood…

Since last year at this time, I’ve published my first book “Adventures in Palmistry” and am hard at work/play on my second on surviving and thriving as a psychic empath. I’ve written about a lot of interesting things on this blog and rejoiced in the comments and feedback I have gotten from you fascinating readers. I’ve learned a lot about manifestation, and writing, and friendship, and courage. I’ve helped people, and learned better how to let people help me. I’ve read a lot of books, made a lot of friends, and had a lot of adventures.

And the best is yet to come…

The best is yet to come for you, too.

Tommorrow’s my birthday. A birthday is a great day to make a start towards chasing your bliss and doing something excellant.

And it would be my pleasure to share my birthday with all of you.

What wonderful goal would you like to take a step towards starting on July 22, 2011?

Now, make a wish…

Blow out the candles…

And happy birthday to all of us.

Hi folks

Summer is for fun in the sun – for visiting new places, meeting new people, learning new things, and having a good time.

Summer is for festivals – and we’ve got a great one coming up for you…

The psychics of Foresight will be winding our way to Wunjo Weekend, a festival & camping retreat bringing together people from Earth-based spiritual communities to celebrate & learn about their wonderfully diverse belief systems in Wassaic, New York on August 5-7.

We’ll be offering readings by tarot, palm, I Ching, pendulum and intuition, as well as Reiki and copies of my book, “Adventures in Palmistry”

We’ll also be offering classes (free with your admission). Starwolf will be teaching “Wyrd Science” and “Hexbreaking, Uncrossing and Curse Turning”, and Catherine, “Dream Interpretation” and “Introduction to Palmistry”. There will be a large group of other learned folks teaching there as well- 40 classes in all over the weekend. For a list of classes, see http://wunjoweekend.webs.com/classesworkshops.htm for details – and prepare to be astounded.

This looks to be an excellent event and well worthy of your summer time. Check out the site at http://wunjoweekend.webs.com/ for information on day and weekend rates, and any other information you need to be a part of the fun

And join us at Wunjo Weekend.

5 Minute Meditation – Back from the Monkey Mind, Part 2

Posted in Alternative Health, Life Improvement, Living in a Magickal Universe, meditation, Metaphysical Basics, self improvement, tagged 5 minute meditation, Foresight, Monkey Mind, resistance on July 14, 2011| 2 Comments »

In the previous post, I talked about a way to deal with distracting thoughts or “monkey mind”.

I talked about not fighting those thoughts, which triggers resistance and makes them stronger. I talked about acknowledging them instead but telling them “not now…”

But, there’s another way to approach this.

You can let them drift on through….

When a distracting thought comes (and come they will, especially when you’re getting started), acknowledge it.

Say “oh, there’s a thought…”

Then let it drift on through your mind and out the other side. Pay it no mind. Return your attention to your focus.

I like to think of these thoughts as being like fluffy clouds, drifting across the bright blue sky of my mind.

Sounds silly, but works well. and who could ask for more than that?…

And more meditation on the way
