It’s Time to Give Thanks….

Right now, we’re living in a world in flux. Not only the everyday stresses, but lots of other big things going on. Terrorism. Political upheaval. The economy. War.

And a lot of people find this all overwhelming. Even scary.

That’s a reasonable reaction- but there’s one that’s even better.

Don’t focus on what’s wrong in the world. Focus on what’s right instead. Count your blessings. Give thanks

The Law of Attraction says that what we focus most on determines what we get more of, whether by attracting it to us or by manifesting it out of nowhere. When we focus on what’s right with our world, we shape it into something better and we attract more of the good stuff

And in this day and age, that may not only improve our lives, but also the lives of the people around us as well.

So, on this day of Thanksgiving, take time to give thanks. As you enjoy your turkey, count your blessings and give thanks for all of the things that are good in your life and everything that is working

And make this world a better place

Happy Thanksgiving

Catherine

Does Sleeping In Have Benefits?

Earlier this year, I posted a link to an article that claimed that people who stayed up late were smarter (Are Night Owls Wiser?)

I’m not sure about that. If that were the case, I think I’d have more insight.
and now, in somewhat related fashion, here’s an article that claims that people who sleep in are smarter (People Who Sleep Late Are Actually Smarter and More Creative)

So there’s a reason, eh?

How do you sleep?

Clinging To Our Limitations

Posted in Living in a Magickal Universe, tagged "Adventures in Palmistry", "Magick for Pennies: Affordable Metaphysics for Everyone", "The Lands That Lie Between", "The Psychic Power of Your Dreams", Catherine, control of psychic gift, empath, Foresight, Foresight Publications, Manifesting Something Better, psychic empath, The Practical Empath- Surviving and Thriving as a Psychic Empath on November 19, 2015| Leave a Comment »

As some of you may know, I’m a psychic empath, and I’ve worked hard through the years to develop the skills that I needed to get some control of my gift (You’re born with the gift, but you’re not born with the skills that you need to manage it.)

At the suggestion of a friend, I recently joined an online group for psychic empaths. There I found quite a number of folks who were talking about how painful it was to have such an out of control gift, a lot of folks who were asking for information on how to get some control and hardly anyone who seemed to have any idea about how to make that gift a gift as opposed to something oppressive.

Being a helpful person, I made a few suggestions and mentioned that there were ways that people could get some control and make their gifts a positive thing. I said that suffering was optional.

Well! You would have thought that I was the Antichrist! In short order, I was attacked repeatedly, told that only “lesser empaths” could get any control at all, accused of being insensitive to the pain of other empaths and told that I wasn’t an empath at all.

Whew! That’s crazy talk.

This kind of floored me. If these folks were in so much pain, why the heck would they fight so hard to keep that pain?

Thought about it a bit. Realized that, for these folks, that pain made them feel “special” and important. It’s a shame- they already were special and important, both because they have a gift and because everyone is special. If only they could realize that letting go of the drama would actually feel better than clinging to their limitations.

Well, I helped the ones who were ready to learn something and move forwards out of limitations, and then I moved on as well. Just as pain is optional for them, so is it for me. I feel bad though for all of the folks who were clinging to their pain. I hope that they, someday, get to the point where they’re ready to let their pain go and do something better with their lives.

I hope your week is going well, and that you are moving forwards in the direction of your dreams

Clearing Your Tools- Sunlight and Moonlight

Posted in crystals, Energywork, tagged "Adventures in Palmistry", "Magick for Pennies: Affordable Metaphysics for Everyone", "The Lands That Lie Between", "The Psychic Power of Your Dreams", Catherine, clearing your tools, Energywork, Foresight, Foresight Publications, Manifesting Something Better, moonlight, sunlight, The Practical Empath- Surviving and Thriving as a Psychic Empath on November 17, 2015| 4 Comments »

Whether you’ve got a metaphysical tool that’s picked up some energy you don’t want to hold on to, or whether it’s a new tool and you don’t know what it’s already carrying, you’re gonna want to clear your tools of unwanted energy

One way to do that is with sunlight or moonlight.

Natural light, especially when paired with an appropriate intention has a great deal of power for clearing out that negative energy. Some people will leave a tool in the sunlight or moonlight for 24 hours, others prefer a full solar or lunar cycle.

Find a place where you can leave tools so that they are exposed to sun or moonlight but still safe and private. Some folks like to leave them outside- I usually put crystals and other items in the bathroom window on the back of my house, where they can take the sun without someone else helping themselves to them

When your tool has had its sun bath, pick it up, close your eyes and pay attention. How does it feel- does it feel clear and open to you, or is it still buzzing with excess unwanted or negative energy? Sometimes tools may need additional time to clear.

More ways to clear tools are coming…

Metaphysical Protection- an Overview

Practice Safe Hex

Posted in Metaphysical Basics, Metaphysical Protection, tagged "Adventures in Palmistry", "Magick for Pennies: Affordable Metaphysics for Everyone", "The Lands That Lie Between", "The Psychic Power of Your Dreams", Catherine, Foresight, Foresight Publications, Manifesting Something Better, Metaphysical Protection, The Practical Empath- Surviving and Thriving as a Psychic Empath on November 12, 2015| Leave a Comment »

Last week, I did a post ( Magick and Movies and TV , oh My!) about someone we heard from who wanted to experiment with metaphysics, didn’t really know a lot about what she was doing, and tried some things without taking any basic safety precautions to increase the odds of getting what she wanted as opposed to a dramatic “Kids, don’t try this at home” experience

Yep. It’s been that kind of week

We’ve consulted with her, the problems that resulted seem to be resolved for the most part, we’ve advised her to get better information and to take safety precautions if she tries to do something else, and we hope that she’ll take that advice.

Now, part of the problem seemed to be that she got a lot of he information on metaphysics from the popular media. Movies, tv, anime, etc.

Now it is possible to learn worthwhile information from such sources, but you’ve got to remember that the job of the movies and tv is to tell a compelling story, as opposed to educate you. This means that, if they have to chose between giving you useful and accurate information or telling you something that will build excitement and drama, most of them will choose excitement and drama every time

And this means that crucial information may be altered or left out, because an episode where every one is safe and happy and remains safe and happy for the length of the story makes for a very dull story indeed

(one example I tend to think of is a series where, every week, there was one or more demons teleporting into a witch’s home, like she had some kind of infernal revolving door installed. Now

a) a knowledgeable witch would ward her home, so not every Tom, Dick or demon could drop in for a snack, and

b) it’s not always demons. The show used demons because demons are more dramatic)

Towards the end of last week’s post, I mentioned that you should

a) know what you’re doing, and
b) wear the protective gear (ie, ward and take other steps to protect yourself against negative experiences)

The best sources on this are mentors, teachers and classes from folks who know what they’re talking about, but we do have some posts on this blog that may also be of service

Here’s a post on the basics on how to ward (A Basic Warding)

And here’s some other posts on the basics in metaphysical protection

That should be enough to get you started and I hope to add to the collection of posts on this topic in the future

The world of metaphysics is not all scary and negative, but, just like the physical world, there are some bad things out there, just as there are some good things

Let’s have fun, but let’s stay safe out there.
