Good afternoon, everybody! It is a beautiful day in here in GA, with the sun shining again. After such a long, rainy, summer, I welcome every sunny day. I'm looking forward to seeing the leaves change color, too, any day now.
Today I am giving you part two of the harvest visualization I started yesterday. This part is for looking to the future and deciding what spiritual "seeds" you would like to plant in your garden. Do you need or want to make changes in yourself, or your everyday life? Now is the time to consider what you would like to change and to bless yourself with the opportunity. As long as we live on this earth we have new opportunities. As we grow older, these opportunities may be different or even lessen, but they are still there. We should never stop looking for new opportunities for growth, spiritual or mundane. Simply opening our eyes each morning and awakening to the world is a new opportunity in itself.
If you are trying to grow in the spirit and to expand your spiritual knowledge, now is the time to plant the seeds for that to happen. Late fall and winter are good times for meditation, reading, and studying. During the colder months we traditionally stay inside and work on projects for the spring. It may be a good time to take a spiritual or religious class of some kind. You might consider learning a new healing modality or working with a spiritual group. Put your efforts now towards future growth and what you wish to accomplish in the coming year.
It is also an excellent time to plan for growth and expansion in the real world. Decide what you need to change in your everyday life and the best way to put those plans into action. You do not have to wait until spring to go ahead with your plans. When your higher self tells you, "This is your time, move ahead now", go for it! Your time of planting new seeds for growth may come sooner than you think.
When you are ready to do part two of the harvest visualization, get your basket or container ready. You may just do the whole visualization in your mind if your prefer. First, remove the slips of paper you wrote yesterday from the basket. Set them aside for later. Now, place the empty basket on a table close by you again. You will not need the paper and pen this time, only the basket. Light a candle and incense if they help you relax.
Now close your eyes and take a few deep breaths. Let the world slip away from you for now. Feel the tension and stress leave your body as you focus only on yourself. This is your time, yours alone. It is your time for planning and dreaming. In your mind, visualize a beautiful, cleared garden.
The land has been tilled and is ready for your planting. It does not matter if you have never planted a garden before. This is your garden of the future, and you are the only one who can plant it.
Take three deep breaths now and relax even more. Your body is warm, warm and relaxed. You are at peace with the world. Look at your garden now and you will see small lights flying around the area. These are your angels and guardian spirits. They have come to help guide you in new directions. Look closely at them and you will feel their warm and serenity fill your body. Their knowledge and light will show you the way.
If you are unsure of your direction in life at this time, you may ask your angels now. Take a deep breath, relax, and ask what seeds you should plant for the future. Take your time and allow the answer to come to you.
When you are ready, pick up your basket and look inside. Visualize the basket filled with your plans, your seeds for the future. These seeds for the future are whatever you need and desire. They may be spiritual seeds, or for the real world. Now is your time for planting the seeds.
In your mind, give your basket filled with seeds to your angels or guardian spirits. They will help you plant the seeds. Watch closely as the seeds are placed in your spiritual garden. A sense of hope fills your now as your garden is filled with seeds. You may see some seeds turn into blooming plants right away. Others seeds will take longer to materialize and grow. This is the way of nature and of life.
When you garden is complete, thank your angels and guardians for their help. You may come back to your spiritual garden whenever you wish. If some of your seeds and plans never grow, know this was probably not meant to be. Other seeds will bloom and blossom with great beauty.
Until next time, blessings from Psykiksister.

Spiritual Harvest: Bless Yourself, Part 2
Good afternoon, everyone! Is it raining where you are? It really feels like fall here today; grey skies and cool weather. Good sleeping weather, if nothing else!
Today I am posting about spiritual harvest again. This is not only a time when we should count our blessings but start making plans for new accomplishments. As we reap our spiritual and worldly crops, we must put some thought into what new things we wish to grow in our "garden". It may not be time to sow again, but it is time to consider what seeds we wish to nourish in our lives.
Yesterday I asked you if this had been a fruitful year for you, or a disappointing one. If it has been a sterile year, with little reward for your work, it may be time to consider going in new directions. This applies whether you are seeking spiritual growth or expansion in the real world. As an example, let's say you are trying to build a more solid financial base for you and your family. You have put in extra hours on the job, spent little money on recreation, and still been unable to add much to your savings account. A desired promotion at work has fallen through, and as a result, you feeling that you are getting no where.
You may need to re-evaluate your position, clearly and thoroughly. First, look at what you have accomplished. You have made it through the year, your family is doing well, and you have managed to save some money. It may only be a small amount of money, but your bank account is on the plus side! These truly are blessings, even if they have been difficult to achieve.
Give yourself a pat on the back for what you have done, please.
Now, let's look at what seeds you need to plant for the next "growing season" in your life. Examine your job and try to determine if there will be any real growth with this company in the future. Is there any chance of promotion, accompanied by a raise, or are you at the end of your opportunities there? Be realistic; sometimes a healthy mature plant is better than a seed that is struggling to grow. In other words, if you have a reliable, steady job, it might be better in today's economy to continue there, rather than take a chance somewhere else. Should you plant a new seed or should you just continue to nurture your existing garden? It is your choice, so consider well.
I have the first part of a two part visualization exercise for you today. First, please find a small basket, bowl, or container. You will also need a pen and paper. If you do not have these things now, or would prefer, you can do this exercise entirely as a visualization. Just do it in your mind!
Place your basket or container, along with the pen and paper on a table near you. Now, make yourself comfortable. Light a candle and/or incense if they help you relax. Take a few deep breaths and relax. Hold your basket in your hands and look into it. It is empty, but it is time to fill it with your accomplishments. Think about this year, and what you have done with your life. Close your eyes briefly and envision the months that have gone by. See a calendar in your mind and remember what you have accomplished, large and small. These are your blessings, even if you had to work for them. Now, take your paper, and write down every wonderful thing you have accomplished this year. You can tear the paper into strips and write your blessings on individual strips if you like. Feel the joy of these blessings as your write, and know that each one is a miracle in your life. If you were blessed in other ways this year, by other people, by luck, by the heavens themselves, do write these things down also. Take the time to acknowledge your real blessings this year, then put whatever you've written into the bowl.
Is your bowl filled with blessings or are there only a few things you have written? As I said yesterday, some years are lean years, and we must look forward to planting better crops later. If you can not see blessings in your life, then you may need to spend some more time with this exercise. It is a very poor life indeed that has no blessings. A negative attitude might not be allowing you to see the wonderful things you have accomplished. Do not be harsh with yourself. Please stop and visualize what good things you have done, rather than judging yourself for what you could not do.
When you are finished, keep your basket handy to remind yourself of your wonderful accomplishments this year. If you only visualized your basket, that is okay, too. Any time you need some encouragement, go back to your visualization and remember your accomplishments.
My next post will be about part two of the visualization. Until then, blessings from Psykiksister.

Spiritual Harvest: Bless Yourself
Hello everybody! I am so excited to be writing again after a long vacation. Sometimes you just need some time off to relax and take it easy. I hope everyone is enjoying the fall and cooler weather. If you live in a warmer climate at least you don't need to unpack your winter clothes!
Today I am posting about the spiritual harvest time. You could have spiritual harvest any time of the year, but the autumn is traditional. In the real world we are reaping and gathering fruits and vegetables now. Apples and pumpkins are available and ready to be eaten or cooked. Farmers bring in the crops and prepare for winter. It is a time of wealth and abundance and we should look to a spiritual harvest, as well.
This is a time when we should give thanks for all of our benefits this year. Work done on ourselves and in our lives needs to be examined and
acknowledged. Ask yourself this question: have you grown in the spirit this year? What have you done to expand your spiritual and/or religious understanding and knowledge? Most of all, what have you done to bless yourself?
It is a major step in spiritual growth when you realize you must bless yourself first and foremost. If you do not have a richness inside yourself, an abundance of spiritual growth, you will have nothing to offer someone else. This applies to worldly matters as well. You must fertilize your own fields before you can help your neighbor with his crops. If your pockets are empty and your heart is too, how can you nourish those around you?
If you have made both spiritual and worldly accomplishments this year, it may be a time to share those things with your loved one. Give a special gift to your mate or a friend. This does not have to be a gift you buy, but could be a gift of your time. A gift of the heart and spirit is the best kind! Share your abundance with the needy and you will reap the benefits in some other harvest time.
Has this been a "lean" year for you? If you have had a year of struggles, both financially and spiritually, then this should be your time of evaluation.
It is not a time to judge yourself, but only to look back at the past months. Is there something you could have done better? Were you able to take time for spiritual study or celebration? Some years are for work in the real world, and work only. Other times we grow in the spirit dramatically, not only by our own efforts, but because it is time. If it has been a difficult year for you, please take a deep breath now and bless yourself. Accept that you have done the best you could and that there will be other years for new growth.
My next post will also be about spiritual harvest. Until then, blessings from Psykiksister.

Good Luck And How To Attract It, Part 3
Good afternoon, everybody! Are you all ready for the weekend? I hope you are having better weather than we are in GA, because it is raining here again, with more in sight. Oh well, maybe there will be improvement tomorrow.
Today I am going to give you a visualization to attract luck. This can be used in any situation where you wish to attract good luck. Remember, the thing that attracts the most good luck is positive thinking. Believe that you can change your luck and you will. What we think, we attract, it's that simple. So send out some good energy and bring on the good luck!
You may wish to make a charm bag for general good luck. If so, consider using a purple or white cloth for the bag. Both purple and white are strong spiritual colors. Place a regular quartz crystal in the bag, or a small piece of amethyst. If you wish to use herbs, select a few with a pleasant or uplifting smell. The scent of lemon, vanilla, cinnamon, etc. can be very pleasant and positive. Never use herbs that smell too strong for a luck bag. You want herbs that smell good to you. These herbs can be straight from your kitchen cabinet, by the way. No reason to buy something different. If you have dried herbs from your organic garden, even better. Now, on a small piece of paper, write these words, or something similar, "I am a lucky person. I attract good luck". Fold the paper very small and place it in the bag. Tie the bag up with white or purple ribbon, string, yarn, etc. Take the bag with you whenever you wish to attract good luck.
When you are ready to do the visualization, make yourself comfortable in a quiet place. You may light candles and incense if these things help you relax. Close your eyes, take a few deep breaths, and allow the world to drift away. In your mind, visualize a path going into a small wooded area. There are tall, green trees along the path and flowering bushes along the way. Everything is peaceful, and serene. Walk along the path a little ways and you will see a beautiful pond. The water is very shallow there, but crystal clear. There is a sparkling waterfall coming from the rocks above. As the water falls, rainbows glisten around the pond.
There is no one but you at the pond. You may take off your clothes if you choose. Step into the water now. It is a perfect temperature, not too hot, not too cold. Stand under the waterfall. As the water streams over you, all negativity will be washed from you. Feel the water as it washes all negative thoughts from you. Negativity leaves you, as it flows from your body, into the pond and away.
Now feel the water as it caresses your body. You are glowing from its touch. You are feeling so good, so positive. This is the pond of happiness, and the waterfall of good luck. Every drop of water that touches you brings you good luck. From this moment forth, you will know that you are a lucky person. You have been washed in the waters of good luck. Let the waters play over your entire body until you feel complete. When you are ready, step out of the water.
You may return to the pond whenever you feel the need for good luck. It will always be there for you.
Until next time, wishing you good luck and blessings from Psykiksister.

Good Luck And How To Attract It, Part 2
Hello everybody! I hope you are all doing great and feeling lucky today. Do you have sunshine where you are? It has been somewhat sunny here, and cooler. It really felt like fall when I went for my walk this morning. Hurry, hurry, autumn, I am ready!
Today I am posting about how to have good luck in attracting love. I really feel that love finds us when the time is right. It is not always when we feel the time is right, but when fate says it's time. There are things we can do that can attract potential partners when it seems there aren't any lovers in sight. You must feel ready inside yourself, however, or you might attract someone who is not in your best interests.
It is time to attract a new love when you feel at peace with yourself. If you do not feel sure that you are ready for someone new in your life, it is not time to seek a new love. You may need time between lovers to absorb and understand the whole experience. Give yourself this time then when you feel ready, start to send out some positive energy into the universe. Try saying this affirmation every day, "I love myself and I am ready to love someone new". You must love yourself before you can truly love another person. If you do not feel confidence and love for yourself, you can not truly offer this to anyone else. You might attract someone new, but you may end up with a relationship filled with jealousy or other negative emotions.
There are several things you can try to attract love. Number one is to make an effort! We can not always just sit at home in our old sweats and expect that wonderful new person to come knocking at the door. If that actually happens to you, please believe it is destiny acting in your favor! You must put some real focus into meeting new people in some way. Online, at church, in groups, the choice in how to meet someone new is up to you. Do make a concerted effort to show the universe you are ready and that in itself may pay off for you.
When you want to attract love, think pink or red. Red if you are seeking a passionate love, and pink if you are looking for romance. Try making a charm bag to take with you when you go out to meet someone new. Take a small square of pink or red cloth and fold it double. You want cloth that is not porous or likely to allow herbs to leak out. A handkerchief, a piece of old silk dress or shirt, or something similar will do fine. Now put a red or pink stone or crystal in the bag. Add things that smell sweet or spicy to you. Dried rose petals are good, along with cinnamon, and cloves. Don't use too many spices, just a little. Now, sit down with pen and paper. You must put some real thought and focus into this last part. Write on your paper what qualities you are looking for in a mate and in your new relationship. If you are want someone with blond hair and a good sense of humor, write it down. When you are finished, fold the paper very small, and put in the bag. Take a piece of ribbon, twine, yarn, or something similar, and tie the cloth up into a bag. For those of you who sew, you can instead sew the cloth into a small square, though this is not necessary. Hold the bag over your heart for a few minutes, and pour some positive energy into it. Take the bag with you in your pocket or purse when you want to attract luck in love.
If you like to garden, or would like to try it, you can plant a small blooming bush to attract luck in love. A rose bush in pink or red is good, and you can always use a miniature plant if space is a problem. I know not everyone has a big yard, or even a yard at all! Any kind of blooming plant is fine if it appeals to you. It would be good if you could plant this bush during the new moon to represent a new beginning in love. Again, this isn't necessary if you are in a hurry. If you can't plant anything for whatever reason, try buying a small blooming plant on the new moon. It is the intent that counts here, and the positive energy you put into it. Nurture your plant with love and it will work for you.
One other thing that attracts luck is a dried persimmon. You can dry one yourself or you can sometimes find them at metaphysical stores. Keep the persimmon where you can see it and focus some energy on it. Placing it by your bed might be a good spot for many reasons!
I will give you a visualization for good luck in my next blog. Until then, blessings from Psykiksister.

Good Luck and How To Attract It
Good afternoon everybody! I hope you are having a wonderful week and good weather. It's "spritzing" a little here in GA. I'm hoping the weather will clear as we go into Sept. and we will have a lovely, colorful autumn.
Today I am posting about good luck and ways to attract it. There are times in every life when we have a streak of good luck, without any effort on our part. Now, I know a few very negative people will say that they never have good luck, only bad luck. My advice to them is to stop saying that! The more negative energy you put into the world, the more you will attract. So the number one thing you can do to attract good luck is to believe that you are lucky. If you really want to attract good luck into your life, you should look at yourself in the mirror every day and say, "I am a lucky person". Then you should start to believe it.
If you think you never have good luck, you should look back on your life. Start with small things that have occurred that were lucky for you. When you were really broke did you find a twenty dollar bill on the sidewalk? Or when you had no food in the house, did a friend suddenly stop by and bring you lunch? I call those pretty darn lucky events. Maybe they did not effect your entire life, but I bet they helped at the time!
Now think about bigger lucky events in your life. Did you make a last minute decision to attend a party where you met the love of your life? Or maybe you met an acquaintance unexpectedly who steered you toward the best job of your career. These are both certainly a good turn of luck. They were probably more than luck in fact; they were wonderful twists of fate. Sometimes events that seem like nothing more than good luck are destiny and fate working in our life. I firmly believe that some things are meant to happen in our lives. A simple turn of luck in your life can alter your entire existence. We can attract good luck into our lives, but destiny always has a say in the matter.
There are a few simple things you might try to attract good luck into your life. First decide what area of your life needs some good luck. Of course, it would be great to be lucky in every area of your life, all the time! I will give you a visualization on my next blog to help with that idea. For now, lets look at becoming luckier in specific areas of your life. For many people these days, money is a prime area of concern. Money is tight, and prices keep rising. The first and most important thing I can tell you about becoming luckier with money is not to hold it too tightly. The more you try to hold on to money, the faster it will flow through your fingers. You must allow money to come and go, with unduly fretting about it. Let money be fluid in your life. The more you worry about money, the less chances you are going to have with it. I am not saying to go and spend all your money in great hopes it will come back to you. You must be sensible about it. I am saying not to put all your emphasis and concern on money. We need a certain amount of money to live comfortably in this world but never let it be your first love.
If you are trying to have good luck with money, or make more money, think of the color green. Green is the color of money and it helps to attract money. If you are going to Vegas to gamble, wear something green. A green shirt, dress, or even just a green piece of jewelry. If you are trying to make more money in your business life, place coins or green objects on or around your work area. You could place a small green plant on your desk, or a green cloth on a table. Put a coin on the four corners of your office, or building for luck. These things may seem silly, but they are a type of sympathetic magick. Since green is the color of money, it will attract it to you. Coins are actual money, and they will draw more money to you.
There are a number of objects that are traditionally lucky in themselves. One that I always recommend is a buckeye. They are good luck, in particular with money. It would be very easy to keep one of these in your purse or pocket. If you are going somewhere to try and win or make money, take a buckeye along. You might also consider taking a green crystal, a piece of jade, or a green stone with you. An emerald ring or necklace would be great, if you have one.
If you decide to use a crystal, stone, or green piece of jewelry as your lucky object, do spiritually cleanse it first. Just rinse it with some warm water, with sea salt in the water, if possible. This will remove any negativity from the object. Then hold the object in your hand and ask that it be blessed by your higher power. There are many ways to spiritually cleanse an object, but this is the easiest one. Once your lucky object is cleansed, take it with your any time you wish to attract luck.
My next blog will also be about ways to attract good luck. Until then, blessings from Psykiksister.
Today I am posting about good luck and ways to attract it. There are times in every life when we have a streak of good luck, without any effort on our part. Now, I know a few very negative people will say that they never have good luck, only bad luck. My advice to them is to stop saying that! The more negative energy you put into the world, the more you will attract. So the number one thing you can do to attract good luck is to believe that you are lucky. If you really want to attract good luck into your life, you should look at yourself in the mirror every day and say, "I am a lucky person". Then you should start to believe it.
If you think you never have good luck, you should look back on your life. Start with small things that have occurred that were lucky for you. When you were really broke did you find a twenty dollar bill on the sidewalk? Or when you had no food in the house, did a friend suddenly stop by and bring you lunch? I call those pretty darn lucky events. Maybe they did not effect your entire life, but I bet they helped at the time!
Now think about bigger lucky events in your life. Did you make a last minute decision to attend a party where you met the love of your life? Or maybe you met an acquaintance unexpectedly who steered you toward the best job of your career. These are both certainly a good turn of luck. They were probably more than luck in fact; they were wonderful twists of fate. Sometimes events that seem like nothing more than good luck are destiny and fate working in our life.

Spiritual Balance, Part 3
Hello everybody! Who is glad it's Friday? I am, and I'm glad we are having a sunny Friday in GA, too. So far, no rain today. Let's keep it that way!
Today I am posting about spiritual balance again. In this final part of the blog, I am discussing times when we actually feel out of balance spiritually. These are times when we are questioning our religious and spiritual beliefs. We may feel unable to reach out and contact our higher power. I use the term, "higher power" in my blogs because I have many friends and clients of different religions and spiritual beliefs. I honor all religions and beliefs. So when I refer to a "higher power", you will understand I am referring to God/Goddess.
If you are spiritually out of balance, you may feel a great struggle between the everyday world and the spiritual world. Work, family, money, and other problems in the real world may take precedence over the spirit. You may not find time to worship, attend church, or do spiritual rituals. You are not growing in the spirit because you are not putting any effort into doing that.
The soul is lacking, and you may feel like nothing more than an empty vessel. If you are out of balance spiritually, you may feel that the higher powers have nothing to offer you. Even worse, you may not feel worthy of contact with your God or Goddess.
I think it is normal to feel like this from time to time. Sometimes we get so busy with life, that all of our focus is on the real world. This is okay, we have to live in the physical world for now, after all. It is only when we let our spirit languish in the dark that we become out of balance spiritually. When we make no attempt to grow, or to become better and wiser, this is when our spirit withers like a plant without water.
I know there are many people who have no religious or spiritual beliefs, and I honor that, too. This is their choice and we must respect it. Perhaps it is not their time to reach out to a higher power. It does not mean they are out of balance spiritually. It means they have closed a door that may or may not open again.
If you are feeling blocked in your spiritual growth, it could be that it is time for this to happen. We can not always grow spiritually in leaps and bounds. Sometimes we must rest, and allow growth to begin when it is time.
The seed of new life must rest underground before it blossoms in the spring.
This may be your time to re-examine what you have learned, before taking a new step. This can be a good time for meditations, and reviews. Think over what you have believed previously and decide if it is right for you now and in the future. After a period of spiritual imbalance, you may choose a different church, spiritual path, or even a new life style.
Spiritual imbalance should clearly tell you that something is wrong in the soul. Look deeply inside yourself and decide what you need to feed your spirit. You may take a major step forward in your spiritual growth at this time.
Blessings from Psykiksister for your continued spiritual growth.

Spiritual Balance, Part 2
Hello everybody! I hope you are all having a pleasant day and better weather than we are having in GA. Yes, it is raining again! For those of you in GA: time to start building an ark!
Today I am posting the second part of spiritual balance. This part is about balance in a relationship; whether it is a love relationship or a different type.
It is much easier to identify imbalance in a relationship than in ourselves. If a relationship is not in balance, there are arguments, stress, and a lack of harmony. The people involved are pulling in different directions instead of together.
The good news here is that there is almost always some kind of imbalance in a relationship. Sometimes one person is giving 90 percent while the partner is only giving 10 percent. There may be an imbalance in the desire for sex, for social activity, even in religious or spiritual beliefs. Every couple or relationship of any type has periods of imbalance, and this is perfectly normal. We move closer, we move apart. It is when these times of imbalance continue indefinitely that the real problems begin. If one person is always the giver, and the other is always taking, resentment may start. What might begin as a simple misunderstanding or lack of communication, can turn into a true imbalance in the relationship over time.
If you feel that your relationship is out of balance, it would be good if you could get your partner to do some clearing work with you. I know that some people would refuse to even try a simple meditation with their partner, so don't despair if your partner refuses. You can do this work alone. It would be great if you could do a chakra cleansing for each other, then a balancing or releasing visualization. There is a link to a chakra cleansing site in one of my earlier blogs. This kind of spiritual work can be very beneficial to a relationship. Any type of spiritual sharing like this makes you feel closer, more in balance. It can also lead to some really great sex afterwards!
Here is a visualization for balance and release. You can use it any time you feel out of balance in any way. If you decide to use it for a relationship, simply visualize you and your partner during the relationship. Or get your partner to do it with you!
During a quiet time, make yourself comfortable on the sofa or a chair. You may light incense and candles if these things are relaxing to you. When you are ready, close your eyes and take three deep breaths. Let the world go now and relax. This is your calm time, your time to get back in balance.
In your mind, visualize a large, ornate mirror in front of you. This is a mirror with a gold frame, full-length, that is very, very clear. Look into the mirror. You can see your entire body, you can see yourself as you really are. As you look into the mirror, you see that the glass is dividing into two sides. Now you see yourself divided, you see each side of your body perfectly. Now look closer. Look for the imbalance in your body, emotions, or spirit. This imbalance is black, dark grey, or brown. It may be in the chest area, at your heart chakra. It may appear in your head, or any part of your body. Look at this dark area, and think about the pain it is causing you in your life. It is time to remove this darkness and get back in balance.
Now visualize placing one hand over the area of your body that has the darkness. Place your other hand over the opposite side of the body. You must align the body and spirit now. See your hands glowing with healing energy. You will feel this healing energy inside yourself as the darkness starts to fade away. Tell yourself, "I bring both sides of myself together now. I am in balance." The more the darkness fades away, the closer the sides of your body come together. Now look in the mirror. You are one again, and all darkness has left your body. The mirror reflects your entire self again. It shows you in balance.
You can use this visualization whenever you feel out of balance in someway. Put as much focus as you can on the visualization and allow yourself to move back into balance. Until next time, blessings from Psykiksister.

Spiritual Balance
Good afternoon, everybody! I hope you are having better weather than we are having in GA. It has been storming here since the middle of the night. There is a small pond near us that has several resident white ducks. I think they must be the only ones enjoying this weather!
Today I am posting about balance in our lives. This will be a three part blog dealing with different types of balance. First, physical and emotional balance. These are in the same category because if we are out of balance emotionally, we are often out of balance physically as well. The next category is relationship balance, whether in a love relationship or other type of relationship. The last category is spiritual balance, with our own soul.
Balance is very important in our lives, for many reasons. In our everyday world, we need a good balance between work and play, stress, and relaxation. If we put too much emphasis on our careers, our home life and relationships may languish and wither. Too much fun and little work however, can result in a non-existent bank account and a loss of ambition. So how do we manage to find a balance between what we need to do and what we want to do? Sometimes there is a struggle for years trying to find an answer to that question.
If you are out of balance emotionally, you will often develop physical problems as a direct result of that imbalance. Much has been written about this subject, and medical science is slowly embracing the idea. Emotional problems such as grief, heartache, and anger, if not dealt with and resolved, can lead to serious health issues. As an example, Jane had a relationship some years ago that ended very unhappily for her. She stills loves the person who left her, and has been unable to move past this relationship. Jane physically feels pain from the relationship as pain in her chest. Her heart hurts whenever she thinks about the man who left her. Most of us have felt this type of heartbreak and yes, it does literally feel like a pain in the heart. Jane, however, has actually developed some physical heart problems due to the continued and unresolved stress of her situation. What has started as a emotional pain in the heart, has now turned to a physical problem.
Jane is clearly out of balance, both emotionally and physically. When I say, "out of balance" I do not mean that she is mentally disturbed. This means that her physical and emotional energies are out of alignment. She has a great need to get back into balance, and resolve her issues. I always see emotional problems that begin to effect us physically, as a small, dark seed inside us. This seed, can be tiny at the beginning, but left to grow, can become a threatening plant. When this seed of unhappiness in Jane began, she was only dealing with emotional issues. I know how difficult heartbreak can be, but Jane might have been able to move past it. Now that the heartbreak has turned to a real physical pain, Jane has two major problems to solve. She must consult a doctor for her physical problem, and possibly seek the advice of a therapist for her emotional issues.
I would advise Jane to do some healing work, both for her emotional and physical problems. A chakra cleansing might be a good place to start, along with a close look at why she has allowed this heartbreak to take over her life. She must ask herself some serious questions now. Is she afraid to let go of this past love for fear of being alone? Or is Jane secretly blaming herself for the end of the relationship, and feeling unacknowledged guilt?
There could be many reasons Jane has not been able to move on, and until she can resolve those issues, she will remain out of balance. I would love to believe that if Jane could resolve her emotional issues she could also heal physically. That is true in some cases, but the longer we allow emotional problems to grow, the more chances there are that we will develop serious health issues.
If you are feeling an out of balance both emotionally and physically, I suggest you look at the root of your problem first. When did the problems start? Then try some releasing and cleansing work to let your problems go. I will give you a releasing visualization next time that may help. Until then, blessings from Psykiksister.

Spiritual Fears: What Monster Is Under Your Bed? Part 3
Good morning, everybody! It's the first of August and I hope you are ready for some hot weather. Dog days, here we come!
Today I am posting about emotional fears. If you remember from part one of this blog, emotional fears are fears of things that we can not see or touch, we can only feel. These are fears that are in our mind and heart. This does not make them any less real; in fact, it often makes them seem more real. The imagination goes into effect here and thinks up all kinds of things to fear. Sometimes emotional fears are based in reality and sometimes they are just our imagination at work.
As an example of a fear based in reality, let's say you are a young woman recently married to a race car driver. You are madly in love with your husband, but terrified every time he drives in a race. This fear is based in reality because racing can be a dangerous profession. As a first step in dealing with this fear, I would advise you to learn some ways to calm yourself during the race. Breathing deeply several times during your moments of stress and fear can help greatly. A fear relieving meditation or positive visualization before the race might also help.
If you have fears that are not based on reality, don't worry, you're normal!
Fear of the unknown might be the biggest fear of all. Our imagination can put some very powerful and negative images into our minds about the future. Most of these things will never happen, but when we are stressing over them in the middle of the night, they seem all too likely. Not only can these fears make us feel powerless and terrified, they send negative energy out into the universe. By imagining negative things happening in our lives, sometimes we draw those things to us!
As an example of this, let's say Brian, a sales rep, has a secret fear that his wife will cheat on him. He works long hours on his job and travels often. Even though he has no real evidence or reason to think that his wife will cheat, he can not get over the idea. Consequently, he checks her on-line journal often and calls her constantly when he is out of town. His wife, though at first flattered by so much attention, has begun to feel stifled. She is considering looking in a new direction, for someone more secure. As you see, Brian's fear is bringing exactly what he is most afraid of into his life.
If you are experiencing emotional fears, you may want to try a positive visualization. Positive thinking about your situation may help still your fears and drive them away. Here is a visualization you can try for positive thinking.
During a quiet time, when you are alone, make yourself comfortable on the sofa or a chair. Light incense and candles if they help you relax. Take several deep breaths and allow your everyday worries to slip away. When you are ready, visualize a blackboard in your mind. There is a piece of chalk beside the blackboard. Take the chalk and write about your fear on the blackboard. Write as much or as little as you like. A few words is fine. Focus on what you have written. Feel the fear if you must but realize that is it only fear, not reality. Now, look beside the blackboard again. There is an eraser there, but not just any eraser. This is an eraser made of light; a golden, glowing light. Take the eraser in your hand. It is warm, and touching it makes you feel strong, and alive. You no longer feel afraid. Take the eraser and erase the words you have written. Focus on this and put great energy into it. You are erasing your fear. Now say these words, "I am not afraid. I am strong and I will not let fear rule my mind." Erase every single letter you have written and allow your fear to leave.
I hope you will feel better after this visualization. Do it whenever you need to, whenever fears strikes your heart. Until next time, blessings from Psykiksister.

As an example of this, let's say Brian, a sales rep, has a secret fear that his wife will cheat on him. He works long hours on his job and travels often. Even though he has no real evidence or reason to think that his wife will cheat, he can not get over the idea. Consequently, he checks her on-line journal often and calls her constantly when he is out of town. His wife, though at first flattered by so much attention, has begun to feel stifled. She is considering looking in a new direction, for someone more secure. As you see, Brian's fear is bringing exactly what he is most afraid of into his life.
If you are experiencing emotional fears, you may want to try a positive visualization. Positive thinking about your situation may help still your fears and drive them away. Here is a visualization you can try for positive thinking.
During a quiet time, when you are alone, make yourself comfortable on the sofa or a chair. Light incense and candles if they help you relax. Take several deep breaths and allow your everyday worries to slip away. When you are ready, visualize a blackboard in your mind. There is a piece of chalk beside the blackboard. Take the chalk and write about your fear on the blackboard. Write as much or as little as you like. A few words is fine. Focus on what you have written. Feel the fear if you must but realize that is it only fear, not reality. Now, look beside the blackboard again. There is an eraser there, but not just any eraser. This is an eraser made of light; a golden, glowing light. Take the eraser in your hand. It is warm, and touching it makes you feel strong, and alive. You no longer feel afraid. Take the eraser and erase the words you have written. Focus on this and put great energy into it. You are erasing your fear. Now say these words, "I am not afraid. I am strong and I will not let fear rule my mind." Erase every single letter you have written and allow your fear to leave.
I hope you will feel better after this visualization. Do it whenever you need to, whenever fears strikes your heart. Until next time, blessings from Psykiksister.

Spiritual Fears: What Monster Is Under Your Bed? Part 2
Good afternoon, everybody! It's a hot, sunny day here in GA, but at least no rain in sight. Do you believe it's almost August already? Better get your Labor Day plans made soon, it will be here before you know it.
Today I am posting again about fears, spiritual and otherwise. Did you have a few minutes yesterday to consider what "monster" is under your bed? Sometimes our deepest fear is hard to think about. We push it away, and refuse to acknowledge it. On the outside we may put on a brave face, but underneath we are the cowardly lion. Putting on a brave face can be a good thing, but when we refuse to face our inner fear, it can turn into a problem.
I am going to give you a visualization today to help release fear. If your fears lie very deep or are very serious however, you may need more help than a visualization can give you. Ask yourself these questions, "Are my fears effecting my daily life? Has my fear turned into an obsession?" If you have answered yes to these questions, you may want to talk to a therapist for more help. You can certainly do the visualization I will give you, but you may need more professional help. There is no reason to be embarrassed if you need to see a therapist. In fact, if you can admit this need, you should give yourself a pat on the shoulder. You have taken the first step in resolving your problem
Before you do today's visualization, you need to examine your fear. This may be difficult. We do not want to probe an open wound, and often we do not want to examine our fears. This is what we may need to do though. We need to ask ourselves why we have this fear, and how it began. Is this an old fear from childhood or something we have only felt recently? Has some traumatic event occurred to make us fearful? Identifying the problem can be helpful in releasing the fear. If you know why you have this fear, you may be successful in ridding yourself of the problem.
You may have fears that you can not understand and can not see an origin of the fear. That is okay and not unusual. Perhaps it will come to you during the visualization or you may even have a revealing dream. If you do have a dream concerning your fear, write it down and study it later. It may give you some insight into your situation.
The next thing you need to do is speak your fear. We do not like to face our fears for many reasons. If we speak of our fear, we may seem less to those we love and respect. They may see us as weak, or ridiculous. Even worse, if we admit we have this fear, we may lose our own self-respect. Please do not think this way. Everyone has fears, whether we acknowledge them or not.
You do not have to speak your fears to anyone else but you need to acknowledge them to yourself. It can be a great release to face a mirror and say aloud, "I am afraid of -----, and I acknowledge that now". It does not matter if your fear is something small or very serious. If it is a problem to you, please try to speak your fear.
Now, when you are ready, sit comfortably in a quiet place. You do not want to be disturbed. Light candles and incense if those things are calming to you. Now take several deep breaths and relax. In your mind, see your fear as a large, heavy balloon. This balloon is black and is filled with lead. It lays on the ground in front of you, attached to you by a dark cord. This black balloon makes you feel unhappy, and fearful. You can not lift this balloon, it is too heavy. Now visualize the lead starting to leak out of the balloon, little bit by little bit. As the lead leaks out of the balloon, you begin to feel stronger, less afraid. Place your hands on the balloon, and push, push, push the lead out of the balloon. You are strong enough to do this, you are in control. As you push the lead out of the balloon, it starts to rise. It is lighter now, and is rising in the air. The lead is still leaking out of the balloon. Each bit of lead that leaves the balloon makes your stronger. You are no longer afraid. The higher the balloon rises in the air, the stronger you become. When all the lead is gone, untie the balloon, and release it from you. Watch as it drifts away, never to return. You have released your fear now. You are strong.
You can do this visualization whenever you are feeling fearful. Allow yourself time with it, and see it as clearly as you can. If you do the work, you will see the results! Until next time, blessings from Psykiksister.

Spiritual Fears: What Monster Is Under Your Bed?
Hello everybody! Finally, I have found time to write again. I always think the summer will be a nice, relaxing time, but this year I am very busy. Oh well, maybe when the cool weather returns will be a good time to take it easy.
Take I am posting about fears, spiritual and otherwise. When children are small, they often imagine and fear monsters under their bed. Mom and Dad may spend much time explaining to the child that there are no monsters in the room. As we get older, we let go of our fear of the monster under the bed, but may replace it with other types of fears. These fears may seem just as real to us as an adult as that terrifying monster that we used to imagine as a child. In fact, fears we have as an adult can be much worse than any child can imagine.
Who does not have any fears, secret or otherwise? I would like to speak to that person, because I am not sure he or she exists. Even the bravest, strongest man or woman may have inner fears that they do not acknowledge to the world. Our fears can be as simple as a fear of spiders or as complex as a fear of the entire world outside our door. We may have an overriding fear of losing our job, even though the world sees us in a secure position. Our fears may be of the spiritual variety, such as fear of death or what lies in the next world. Many of us have great fear of losing our loved ones, whether through death, divorce, or some other type of separation. We may never speak of our fears to anyone, or tell our family, friends or therapist about them constantly.
It is human to have fears, and sometimes those fears keep us out of danger.
Think about a baby who is just learning to walk. The baby is learning about the world and will learn, by experience, that some things are dangerous, and to be feared. He may touch a hot stove and burn his finger. Of course, we don't want the child to burn his finger, and hopefully, someone is watching so that he doesn't do that! He will learn at some point that the stove is hot however, and this is where fear begins. This can be a "normal" type of fear, and keeps him from touching the hot stove again. It is only when the child develops a life-long and abnormal fear of hot stoves that he has a problem.
I am going to put fears into certain classifications, so that I can give you some ideas how to deal with them. The first group I will call, "fears of real things" as they involve actual objects, animals, etc. These are fears of things that we can see or touch. They could be a fear of particular animals, such as dogs, cats, spiders, or birds. I have met people who had each one of those fears, by the way.
In this classification, there could also be fear of riding in various vehicles, such as airplanes, trains, or even cars. In today's world, these fears are difficult to handle, as we all have places to go. This group can also include fears of high places or closed in places. These are actual things we can see and touch, so I am including them in this category. Any fear of something real will be in this category.
The other two categories are simply to explain, but just as real to the person experiencing the fear. The next category is spiritual fear. These are fears that deal with the spiritual world. They include fear of death, ghosts and spirits, and fear about the next life. These fears can be overwhelming and consuming. Our religion or spiritual beliefs may explain to us that there is nothing to fear in death, or the afterlife. To people with a fear of these things however, there may be little consolation and much doubt.
The last classification is for "emotional fears". This is probably the biggest group of fears as it includes everything that is not real. We can not see or touch our emotional fears, we can only feel them. This group includes fear of loss of any kind, whether it is fear of loss of job, family, friends, or money. We may be afraid of illness, gaining weight, aging, or losing our looks. Emotional fears may be firmly based in reality or totally irrational. If you have a strong fear of going bald, it does not make it any less real to you if currently you have a full head of hair. The fear is emotionally based, and in your mind.
My next posts will give you some ideas how to release fear. We all have our "monster under the bed", and need to get rid of him. Until then, blessings from Psykiksister.

Spiritual Visualizations, Part 3
Good afternoon, everybody! Are you ready for the weekend and some fun? Or are you planning on slipping on some comfy jammies and lounging around the house all weekend? Whatever you do, I hope it's a good weekend for you!
Today I will post the last part of spiritual visualizations. This is a specific visualization written for healing. You may do this for yourself if you are dealing with health issues, physical, mental, or emotional. You may also do the visualization for another person, if they are okay with it. If you plan on doing any kind of spiritual or metaphysical healing for someone else, it is always best to ask for their permission.
Healing yourself or someone else is a complicated issue. It would seem that anyone who is ill or in pain would wish to be healed. There have been times when I would have given anything to be healed! There can be many psychological and karmic issues involved with illness, however. On the surface, we may cry out for relief from our pain, but on some deep inner level, there may be some reason we are holding onto it. As an example, think of someone who constantly has back pain. This person deals with many situations in his/her life on a daily basis. They work constantly, both on the job, and at home. The back pain continues for years with little relief. This person tells themself they do not have time to see a doctor, and that the doctor probably could not help anyway. This is a "type A" personality that pushes themselves to work harder and make more achievements every day. As a result, on some inner or spiritual level, all the problems and responsibility they are dealing with, "pile up" on their back. The back is a common place to experience physical pain from too much responsibility. This person could probably alleviate their pain by seeing a doctor and/or lightening the load they are carrying in life. Instead, they continue to work harder and harder. It is likely that one day the back pain will increase to such an extent that they will have to slow down and re-evaluate their life.
Not all illnesses or pain can be healed. We can try to heal and I think we should always try. As long as we are alive, there is hope. Miracles do happen in even the most dire cases from time to time. Sometimes the belief that we can heal can almost be as important as whatever medication we are taking. It is very easy to become depressed when we are ill. We can only see the negative, and the longer the illness extends, the harder it is to see anything positive. That is one reason I have written this visualization. It is to help clear the mind of negativity. I hope that it will help you, and give you some much needed hope.
Do this visualization during a quiet time, and in a quiet place. Light candles and burn incense if those things are calming to you. Close your eyes, and when you are ready, take several deep breaths. Know that this is your healing time, and your time to let go of negative thoughts. If your problem is physical, place your hands gently on the afflicted part of your body. If your illness is in the mind or emotions, simply touch your head or heart. Now, visualize your illness as a powerful, almost overwhelming force in your body. See this force, this blackness, at the part of your body that is in pain. This blackness does not belong in your body, mind, or heart. It is time to drive it from you.
Now in your mind, see a glorious, golden light entering your body. It warms you, and fills you, and flows smoothly to your illness. This light is the most powerful healing force you have felt. It comes from a higher source, and it comes to drive away your illness. See the blackness in your body, mind, or heart start to recede. As the golden light surges forward, the blackness leaves you. This illness, this blackness in you, is as nothing to the light that now fills your body. The illness is flowing away from you, moving to your lower extremities, your feet. Now as the golden light flows through you, it forces the blackness, out, out, out through your toes. Watch now as your illness leaves your body. Allow the light to force every bit of the blackness from your body. Let it completely flow out through your toes and then relax.
I hope you feel a sense of relief and hope when you are finished with this visualization. You may use it any time it is needed. If you are healing another person, simply visualize their body and the illness inside. Bring in the golden light and drive away their illness.
I wish you all good health and healing. Until next time, blessings from Psykiksister.

Spiritual Visualizations, Part 2
Hello everyone! As we say down here in the South, "Is it hot enough for you?" After a really big rainstorm last night, we have blue skies and a very hot day. It finally feels like July in GA!
Today I am writing again about spiritual visualizations. This blog and the next will give you visualizations about specific problems. The visualization today will be geared towards problems in a struggling relationship. You can also use this visualization with any kind of relationship with another person. It does not have to be a romantic relationship. You might try this visualization if you are having problems with a friend, family member, or someone else you care about.
Romantic relationships are an incredibly complicated part of life. We all have an innate drive towards love and fulfillment with another person. The desire for a mate, for someone to share our life, forms very early in life, and often never ends. I have seen very elderly people with the same urge for a relationship that I have seen in twenty year olds. This desire to love may be displayed differently as we age, but it is still there. We still want someone to hold us, kiss us, and share our bed at night.
All relationships have their good times and their bad times. We may see some couples in what seems to be a totally peaceful and serene relationship, year after year. I admire anyone who truly has this kind of relationship, but remember we can only see the relationship from the outside. We do not know what goes on behind closed doors with other couples. A couple may seem loving, happy, and content to everyone around them, and then suddenly get divorced. Sometimes even the two people involved in the relationship aren't aware of what is going on under the surface. There may be unresolved anger issues, or a secret desire for a more active sex life. This things and many other issues can cause a deep unhappiness between two people, even if they are never discussed.
Let's say, however, that you are in a relationship, and you can clearly see the problems. The only thing you can not see is a solution! The first thing I would tell you, both in a relationship, and in life, is that not all problems can be solved. Sometimes we must agree to disagree, and take the good with the bad. We may just have to accept our partner the way they are, and try to appreciate them for their good qualities. If there are specific problems that seem to drag on and on with no resolution, you might want to try a spiritual visualization. This might not only give you a new and better look at the situation, it could help you resolve the problem.
As I said earlier, this visualization is written for a love relationship. To use it for any other type of relationship, simply think about the person involved and change the wording as necessary.
Do your visualization during a quiet time, and in a peaceful place. Before you begin, try to identify the actual problem you want to resolve. If everything in the relationship just seems wrong, or you don't know what the problem really is, that is okay, too.
Light candles or burn some incense if you like. These things can be very relaxing, but are not necessary. Take a few deep breaths and allow yourself to relax. Calm your mind, and let the everyday world drift away. When you are ready, begin to focus on the problem in your relationship. Start to envision your relationship as a large, blossoming tree. This is a beautiful tree that the two of you have grown together. You and your loved one are deeply entwined in this tree together. Make your tree as beautiful and large as you like. The longer you have been together, the larger the tree, and the more blossoms.
Now envision a branch on the tree as withering and turning black. This branch represents the problem in your relationship. It may be a small branch at first that is turning black, but without proper care, it could kill your tree. If there are many unresolved problems in the relationship, visualize a number of withering branches. Now, with great love and understanding in your heart, break off these withered branches. Do not focus anger or pain on the branches, only love. As you break off the branches, say, " I let go of the pain in my relationship now. I resolve this problem now." Do not just say the words, feel them as you speak. Allow new ideas for solutions to your problems to come to you. Do not try to force this, just allow it to happen.
Now it is time for new growth in the relationship. In place of the withered branches you have removed from the tree, envision new, blossoming branches growing. This is new life coming back into your relationship. Your problems have been resolved, the love is renewed. Make your tree blossom and grow. It is time for renewal, and for love again.
After you finish your visualization, remember that you can never change your partner. You can only change your response to them. With true love, two people can rise over any problems.
Until next time, blessings from Psykiksister.

The first thing I would tell you, both in a relationship, and in life, is that not all problems can be solved. Sometimes we must agree to disagree, and take the good with the bad. We may just have to accept our partner the way they are, and try to appreciate them for their good qualities. If there are specific problems that seem to drag on and on with no resolution, you might want to try a spiritual visualization. This might not only give you a new and better look at the situation, it could help you resolve the problem.
As I said earlier, this visualization is written for a love relationship. To use it for any other type of relationship, simply think about the person involved and change the wording as necessary.
Do your visualization during a quiet time, and in a peaceful place. Before you begin, try to identify the actual problem you want to resolve. If everything in the relationship just seems wrong, or you don't know what the problem really is, that is okay, too.
Light candles or burn some incense if you like. These things can be very relaxing, but are not necessary. Take a few deep breaths and allow yourself to relax. Calm your mind, and let the everyday world drift away. When you are ready, begin to focus on the problem in your relationship. Start to envision your relationship as a large, blossoming tree. This is a beautiful tree that the two of you have grown together. You and your loved one are deeply entwined in this tree together. Make your tree as beautiful and large as you like. The longer you have been together, the larger the tree, and the more blossoms.
Now envision a branch on the tree as withering and turning black. This branch represents the problem in your relationship. It may be a small branch at first that is turning black, but without proper care, it could kill your tree. If there are many unresolved problems in the relationship, visualize a number of withering branches. Now, with great love and understanding in your heart, break off these withered branches. Do not focus anger or pain on the branches, only love. As you break off the branches, say, " I let go of the pain in my relationship now. I resolve this problem now." Do not just say the words, feel them as you speak. Allow new ideas for solutions to your problems to come to you. Do not try to force this, just allow it to happen.
Now it is time for new growth in the relationship. In place of the withered branches you have removed from the tree, envision new, blossoming branches growing. This is new life coming back into your relationship. Your problems have been resolved, the love is renewed. Make your tree blossom and grow. It is time for renewal, and for love again.
After you finish your visualization, remember that you can never change your partner. You can only change your response to them. With true love, two people can rise over any problems.
Until next time, blessings from Psykiksister.

Spiritual Visualizations
Good afternoon, everybody! It is a very hot, sunny day in GA. Yes, I said sunny! We have had two sunny days in a row after much rain. Please, Mother Nature, let's keep Ole Sol rolling along.
Today I am posting about spiritual visualizations to help with problems in your life. We all have difficult times, and times when we can not see one step in front of us. There may be two paths to choose from or no visible path in sight. At such times it can help to visualize your problems and a solution. We can send out positive energy to the universe and clearly state our desires. By taking a new look at our situation, we can often rectify it and achieve what we wish.
Never doubt the power of positive thinking. Sending out negative energy does nothing but attract more negative energy. Thoughts and words have power, so we must guard our thoughts and what we say. A careless and negative expression may come back and slap you in the face when you least expect it. We can not always stay in a positive frame of mind, but we don't have to languish in negativity either. Sometimes, particularly for women, a good cry will wash away the pain and worry we are feeling. We express our emotions, and then can look for solutions to our problems. It is only when we continue to put out negative energy that we create more problems for ourselves.
Of course there are times in every life when we are unhappy or grieving for months or years. We may feel that we will never be happy again. It is at such a time that a spiritual visualization may help. Even on the darkest nights, there is light somewhere. It is up to us to attract that light into our lives again. A simple visualization may lighten your mood and allow some hope back into your life.
I will not give you a set visualization today, with specific words to say. Everyone has different problems they are dealing with, so today's visualization will be a "one size fits all". You can make this visualization be whatever you need it to be.
Choose a quiet time and place for your visualization. You do not want to be disturbed. Light candles and incense if you like. Sit comfortably and take a few deep breaths. Let your body and mind relax. There is no hurry or pressure now, only a time for you to relax. When you are calm and peaceful, start thinking about your situation. In your mind, visualize whatever is causing you unhappiness. Try not to tense up; allow the stress to flow out of your body. See your unhappiness and stress flow down from the top of your head to your toes. Now let the stress leave your body. Let it flow right from the tips of your toes like a dark river. When you feel empty, when you feel lighter, go ahead with your visualization.
Now envision each of your problems in front of you as boulders on a road. Make the worst problems the largest boulders and smaller problems like little rocks. There may only be one problem you are facing. If so, in your mind, place a large boulder directly in your path. If you have much unhappiness, you may not even be able to see the road past the boulders. This is okay, you will see the road soon.
Put a name, a face, a description of your problems on the boulders if you like. If someone is your problem, clearly visually their face on a boulder.
So now you are facing your problems, they are right in front of you. It is time to rectify the situation and move past the problems. Please believe you can do this, even if the problems in your life are huge. You may do one of two things now, whichever you choose. First, take a deep breath. Now, either visualize yourself climbing completely over the boulders, or going around them. If you are the kind of person who confronts problems headlong, visualize yourself climbing confidently over the boulders to the clear path beyond. If you prefer dealing with problems indirectly, see yourself easily going around the boulders. Know you can do this, and put all your focus into it. There is a clear path ahead of you, and you will get there.
I hope you feel a sense of relief after your visualization. Do the visualization whenever you like or need it. You will find the boulders easier to get past or over each time. You will put out more positive energy and subsequently attract more positive energy as well. Give it a try and I think you will find this visualization a help in your life.
Until next time, blessings from Psykiksister.

Spiritual Ritual Of All Kinds, Part 3
Good morning, everybody! Are you all glad it is Friday? I hope everyone is looking forward to a relaxing weekend and maybe even some sunshine.
Today I am posting about the "Bidding Farewell Times", as I call them.
These are times in our lives when we must say good-bye to people, places, and situations that we love. The farewell times can be the most difficult times in our lives. We must move on in some way, and sometimes this is not our choice. Fate, destiny, and sometimes just plain bad luck can play a role in the farewell times. Sometimes we are thrust into the farewell times without any warning. A sudden death in the family, or the unexpected loss of a job are examples of this. We must now let go of something or someone we have cherished in our lives. Emotions involving the farewell times can range from simple sadness and a sense of resignation to deep and abiding grief. We must all deal with some kind of farewell time over the course of our lives. This is part of being human and part of life.
There are many times we may choose to say farewell for our own good. We may be involved in a unhappy and painful relationship that is only getting worse. We may choose to leave a home that we care about for a better job in a different location. There are many reasons we can choose to move on from something or someone that we have previously held in high esteem. That we may choose this leave taking does not make it any less difficult. In fact, it may be worse. We can have deep doubts and questions about our decision. Have we made the right choice for ourselves and all concerned? Are we leaving behind something that we will regret later? Most of all we may ask ourselves if we are making a major mistake in our life.
It may seem that farewell times are the last thing you would want to celebrate. That may be true in some cases, but farewell times can involve celebrations. As an example, think of an Irish wake after a funeral. Yes, there is great sadness following a death, but the wake celebrates the life of the person who is gone. There is drinking, feasting, and much laughter. The tears and sadness are there, but a wake can be a true celebration.
Divorce parties have become fashionable in some locations these days. Divorce certainly is difficult, and often sad. A newly divorced person however, may choose to celebrate their freedom and throw a party. Yes, there may be bitterness and sadness involved, but this type of party celebrates moving on and leaving the old life behind. The new life is embraced, even if it was not chosen, but rather thrust upon the person.
There can be many rituals that would be appropriate for farewell times. In this case, a ritual would be acknowledging the loss and the need to move on.
You would be telling the universe and all concerned that you accept this loss, sad though it is. This type of ritual should only be done when you are ready, when you can accept it is time to move on. Depending on the loss involved, it could be months or even years before you can accept that it is time to say farewell. Grief has no limit, no time involved. It is only when you can truly turn your face towards the new life that you are ready for a ritual.
When you are ready for your ritual, go to a quiet and soothing place where you will not be disturbed. You may choose to do your ritual alone, or in the company of loved ones. This ritual does not have to be at your home, it could be in a serene forest or by a lake. Whatever seems calming and peaceful to you. Have with you a photo or object that represents your loss, or loved one. A picture of someone who has passed on, or an object from your home if you are moving away. These are the kinds of things you might choose. Hold the object and take some time to think about your life or experiences with whatever you are leaving behind. You may cry, you may laugh, whatever you feel is fine. Now draw a small line on the ground with a stick, or if necessary just draw an imaginary line. You can simply envision a line, glowing and quiet clear. This line represents your old life and what you are leaving behind on one side. On the other side of the line is your new life. When you are ready, take a deep breath and step across the line. You are now ready to embrace your new life. Take a few minutes and envision what your new life will be like. You may not know yet, perhaps the new life is still taking form. If that is the case, please envision what you would like the new life to hold. Say a brief prayer of thanks to your higher power, your God/Goddess. Now you are ready to move on.
Even though you may do a ritual of farewell, this does not mean you have to leave your memories behind. Cherish your good memories and let the bad ones go. You are in the new life now and there will be new memories as well. Until next time, blessings from Psykiksister.

Spiritual Rituals Of All Kinds, Part 2
Hello everybody! It's another cloudy day here in GA, with rain coming in. Oh well, we have had two days this week with some sunshine so I won't complain. If this rain continues though, we might all consider getting together and building an ark!
Today I am continuing my blog about spiritual rituals. This segment will be about what I call the "ice age". The ice age is a time in our life when nothing is moving or happening. During the ice age we feel stuck, unable to move ahead. There can be much frustration in our lives during the ice age. Despite our best efforts, we can not make progress, or take any meaningful steps. The ice age can occur in our romantic life, or job, our health, or even in our spiritual self. The worst ice age happens when we experience it in all those areas at the same time!
You may be wondering why you would want to do a ritual or celebration if you are stuck in the ice age. The answer is that you would not want to celebrate at such a time, but you might want to do a ritual. Celebrations are usually for happy times in our lives, but rituals can be for any time. They can serve a purpose during good times and bad. During an ice age in your life, you might want to do a ritual to change the situation. This type of ritual would be a announcement to the universe that you are ready for change. You are ready to change your situation and move past it.
Before you are ready for an ice age ritual however, you may need to look at why you are stuck in some area of your life. An ice age in your life often occurs simply because of timing. You may want a new mate, but perhaps it is not time for that yet. Yes, a new job would be great, but if you get more experience with your current job, maybe you can get a better position later.
You must look at your life honestly here. Many times we are stuck in an ice age because we are afraid of changing our life. We long for change, for the new, but we fear it as well. There may be opportunities for change, but we are not willing to accept the "side effects" that go with those opportunities.
As an example, let's say you are looking for a new mate or lover. No matter how you have tried, no one seems interesting, or available. It fact, it has been over a year since your last relationship. Now, it could be that it is not time in your life yet for a new love. Real new loves do not come along every day. You have to be honest with yourself about this situation. Are you secretly afraid of accepting a new person in your life? After all, that last relationship nearly broke your heart, right? Have you placed yourself in some kind of ice age out of fear? You may be afraid of some "negative side effects" of accepting someone new in your life. You may even be afraid that a new partner could be worst than the last one!
If you can honestly look at your life and say that you are ready for change, it is a good time to try a ritual. It does not matter what area of your life is stuck or experiencing the ice age. This ritual calls for change in your life.
The purpose of this ritual is to break up the ice and move ahead.
This ritual is not geared to any specific religious or spiritual belief. Anyone can try it. As with any ritual, the more focus and energy you put in it, the better results you will get. You can light candles and incense during the ritual if you like. Sit quietly at a table or desk during a time when you will not be disturbed. Place a paper cup or plastic bowl in front of you that holds a small amount of ice. Crushed or cubed ice, it doesn't matter. You might want a paper plate or towel underneath the bowl. Also have a hammer, small food mallet, or other study tool on the table. Now begin focusing on the problem in your life. Think specifically about the ice age you are experiencing. Now focus on how you are ready for change and what results you desire. If you are seeking a new relationship, think about that now. Envision the results you desire very clearly in your mind. When you are ready, take your hammer or mallet and crush the ice. You do not have to go overboard with this. You are symbolically breaking the ice in your life. You may say these words if you like, "I call out for change. I am ready to end the ice age in my life". It is always good to end a ritual with a short prayer and thank you to whatever higher power you believe in. You are finished with your ritual now. You have declared to the universe that you are ready for change.
Be ready to accept new opportunities as they come into your life now. Change can be scary, but if we are afraid to step forward, we can be stuck it the ice age forever. Until next time, blessings from Psykiksister.

Spiritual Rituals of All Kinds
Good afternoon, everybody! I am so glad to finally have a chance this week to blog. It is a busy time in my life and some days I am overwhelmed with work. I am looking forward to retiring before long and having time to write more.
Today I am posting about various types of spiritual rituals and the need for them in our lives. Don't worry, I am not going to ask you to change your religious or spiritual views. Nor I am going to write about long drawn out rituals in any religion. I am going to give you some interesting ideas about rituals you can do at important times in your life. I think simple rituals can be important at certain times in our lives. I am going to call these times the "Welcoming Times", the "Ice Age", and the Bidding Farewell Times".
First, let's look at the "Welcoming Times" in our lives. These are times when we want to celebrate something new and important. Traditionally these are happy times such as the birth of a child, an engagement, or a wedding. We can also welcome other things into our lives. An important new job, a move into a new home we have been longing for, or even the beginning of a new relationship. Welcoming times are joyous occasions, when we want to invite our friends over, feast, drink, and enjoy our good fortune. Sometimes these occasions are solemn and religious, such as christening a baby or a white wedding in church. Tears might be shed at some welcoming times, but they are tears of happiness. We are glad to welcome the new into our lives.
Why do we need a ritual or celebration to welcome the new child, spouse, home, or situation into our lives? It may be enough for some people that they have accepted something new and wonderful into their lives. It is not always easy to take something new into your life. New things and people mean new challenges and new experiences. We must grow spiritually in some way to embrace those challenges. A new baby in the house can bring many new experiences, including many wakeful nights! A new husband, wife, or partner means many adjustments in our lives. We must learn to share our entire self with someone who may have very different views and habits than we do. The beginning of happy new situations can be very complicated as we step into the unknown. So why have a celebration when we might be walking on shaky new territory?
A welcoming ritual or celebration simply tells the world and our God/Goddess that we accept and embrace our new life and challenges. We want the blessings of our family, friends, and "higher power" on our new experience in life. Whether we have a wedding and invite five hundred people, or a private ritual of our own, the reason is the same. We are celebrating the new in our life, and acknowledging its importance. This is a passage in our lives that will never come again, and as such we should celebrate it. I do believe that our "higher powers", no matter what name we call them, are happy to see us celebrate the new in our lives. Whatever our religious or spiritual beliefs are, it is good to take the time to celebrate a new beginning.
One simple and easy welcoming ritual can be to plant a seed or small plant of some kind. The seed or plant symbolizes your new beginning. This is a time when you are growing something new in your life. If you live somewhere that has a yard, you might consider planting a small tree. This would be a particularly interesting ceremony if it symbolized the birth of a child or a marriage. A tree grows, blooms, and learns to bend in the wind. A child or marriage growing successfully will do the same.
You can do your ritual by yourself, with your spouse, or even a large group of loved ones. Gather in a circle, say a blessing on your new endeavor, and ask your God/Goddess for their blessing. Hold hands, sing, chant, dance, or whatever feels right to you. This is time of happiness, after all. Then plant the seed or plant in a small container. If you are planting a tree in the yard, do it now. When you are finished with your planting, have a minute of silence just to feel grateful for your new beginning. Now it's time for the fun part, the feasting and drinking!
However you celebrate, I wish you great happiness with your new beginning. Until next time, blessings from Psykiksister.

An important new job, a move into a new home we have been longing for, or even the beginning of a new relationship. Welcoming times are joyous occasions, when we want to invite our friends over, feast, drink, and enjoy our good fortune. Sometimes these occasions are solemn and religious, such as christening a baby or a white wedding in church. Tears might be shed at some welcoming times, but they are tears of happiness. We are glad to welcome the new into our lives.
Why do we need a ritual or celebration to welcome the new child, spouse, home, or situation into our lives? It may be enough for some people that they have accepted something new and wonderful into their lives. It is not always easy to take something new into your life. New things and people mean new challenges and new experiences. We must grow spiritually in some way to embrace those challenges. A new baby in the house can bring many new experiences, including many wakeful nights! A new husband, wife, or partner means many adjustments in our lives. We must learn to share our entire self with someone who may have very different views and habits than we do. The beginning of happy new situations can be very complicated as we step into the unknown. So why have a celebration when we might be walking on shaky new territory?
A welcoming ritual or celebration simply tells the world and our God/Goddess that we accept and embrace our new life and challenges. We want the blessings of our family, friends, and "higher power" on our new experience in life. Whether we have a wedding and invite five hundred people, or a private ritual of our own, the reason is the same. We are celebrating the new in our life, and acknowledging its importance. This is a passage in our lives that will never come again, and as such we should celebrate it. I do believe that our "higher powers", no matter what name we call them, are happy to see us celebrate the new in our lives. Whatever our religious or spiritual beliefs are, it is good to take the time to celebrate a new beginning.
One simple and easy welcoming ritual can be to plant a seed or small plant of some kind. The seed or plant symbolizes your new beginning. This is a time when you are growing something new in your life. If you live somewhere that has a yard, you might consider planting a small tree. This would be a particularly interesting ceremony if it symbolized the birth of a child or a marriage. A tree grows, blooms, and learns to bend in the wind. A child or marriage growing successfully will do the same.
You can do your ritual by yourself, with your spouse, or even a large group of loved ones. Gather in a circle, say a blessing on your new endeavor, and ask your God/Goddess for their blessing. Hold hands, sing, chant, dance, or whatever feels right to you. This is time of happiness, after all. Then plant the seed or plant in a small container. If you are planting a tree in the yard, do it now. When you are finished with your planting, have a minute of silence just to feel grateful for your new beginning. Now it's time for the fun part, the feasting and drinking!
However you celebrate, I wish you great happiness with your new beginning. Until next time, blessings from Psykiksister.

Psychic Readings of Photos and Objects, Part 3
Good afternoon, everybody! It's a rainy day here in GA, with more rain to come. Doesn't look good for fireworks tomorrow, but maybe Mother Nature will relent for a few hours. Pray for sunshine!
Today I am posting about the psychic reading of objects. Reading an object is similar to reading a photograph. You can try reading any kind of object you like, from a crystal to your car. Remember I told you earlier that everything has energy. Since everything has energy, you can attempt to read and understand that energy. With an open mind and a psychic gift, the sky is the limit!
Maybe you are wondering why anyone would ever want to read an object.
First of all, just for plain curiosity! Wouldn't it be interesting to find out what a crystal would say to you, or what comments a tattered silk scarf might make? I'm not saying these objects have a brain and can have an intelligent conversation. I am saying they have their own type of energy and you can try to interpret that energy.
There are several other reasons you might want to read an object. If you were a psychic detective such as we see on TV, you might read an object as part of your case. As an example, let's say you are helping the police with a murder case. You are shown a necklace that the victim was wearing when she was killed. You hold the necklace in your hand and begin to pick up images of the time she died and maybe even who killed her. This could be very important information to this case. Alternately, the images or visions you pick up from the necklace could be quite vague. You might see nothing but the color red, or hear the sounds of a running stream. These images or sounds could still be important, but more difficult to interpret. The killer could have worn a red shirt, or drove a red car. Maybe the victim was killed near a stream, or the killer has a stream in his backyard. Psychic readings of objects can be frustrating if you are seeking straight forward information. Their information should in no way be discounted, however. It should be recorded and allowed to stand in its own right. Later this information could turn out to be important.
Sometimes we read objects to learn more about their history or the person who owned them. As an example, a friend might ask you to read an ring that belonged to her father. Her father has long been apart from the family, and she has almost no memory of him. She has been considering attempting to locate him, but isn't sure if he would want to see her. You hold the ring and close your eyes. After a few minutes, images of a man feeling great sadness sweep over you. You get a mental image of this man with a bottle in his hand. You feel this man is or was an alcoholic for a long time. After the reading, you tell your friend you feel that the man feels a lot of sadness, possibly about his family. If she decides to contact him, she must realize he could be a habitual alcoholic. As a result of your reading, she does locate her father, who is extremely happy to meet her. He has recently been in rehab and is struggling to maintain his sobriety. Your reading has helped bring them together, with all the good and bad that meeting may hold.
Trying to read an object is easy. Just like with a photo, hold the object in your hands during a quiet time. You do not want to be disturbed during the reading. Try to use an object that belongs to someone else, so they can tell you something about it later. The point is that you are looking for confirmation that your psychic reading was correct. Allow your eyes to go slightly out of focus when you are looking at the object. Let it talk to you in some way. Thoughts about the object may spring into your mind or you could see images and visions. You could hear sounds or even voices. What you hear, feel, see, or sense depends on your own psychic abilities and even the day of the week. Perhaps you are more psychic on Fridays or when the moon is full! Always record what you feel about the object as soon as possible. If the information seems vague, odd, or disjointed, go back and read this information again later. It may become clear at that time. Never doubt your psychic senses and you may be surprised what you discover.
Wishing you all a happy fourth of July from Psykiksister.

Psychic Readings of Photos and Objects, Part 2
Hello everybody! It's a hot day here in GA with storm clouds overhead. Hubby and I had lunch out at Mimi's Café. Our first time there and the food was good. If you go, do share a muffin. They are delicious, but huge!
Today I am posting about psychic readings of photos. If you have never tried to do a psychic reading of a photo, or had one done for you, this may seem very strange. A photo is just a photo, right? Wrong! It can be much more than just an imprinted picture on paper. Reading a photo can give you great information about the subject of the photo. If the photo is a picture of a person or people, you may learn about their personalities or history. In fact, they may "come alive" to you, and tell you their own story. If the photograph is of a house or place, you may psychically sense something that has occurred there. A photo of an object, such as a car, necklace, etc. may give you information about its owner or provenance.
The first thing I would tell you about reading a photo, is to use an actual photo. Do not start reading photos with a computer print out or some kind of facsimile. Later, you can try that if you like, but please start with an actual photo. A photo, even if it is somewhat blurry, always has more depth than a computer print. If you are printing pictures from your computer on photographic paper, this might work. This might also have the depth we are looking for. Ideally, it would be good if you could read photos with another person at first. That way, you could trade photos to read, and you would not be familiar with the subject. You want to read a photo of someone or something that you do not know, but can get follow-up on afterwards. That way, you can find out if your psychic reading was correct. If you do not have any one to share a reading with, consider asking a friend or co-worker to loan you a photo from their collection. You can return it later and ask what the subject of the photo was really like. If you prefer just to read a photo you have at home, that is okay, too. You may still pick up some psychic impressions from the photo. The only problem with this idea is that if you know the subject of the photo, your conscious mind may say one thing, and your psychic senses may say another!
Take the photo in your hand or place it just in front of you on a table or desk. You want to try your reading when you are calm and the room is quiet. Gaze at the photo, do not stare at it. Do not try to pick up anything from the photo. You must allow psychic images to come to you. Now let your vision go slightly out of focus as you look at the photo. Be patient, these things can take time. You may begin to see the image on the photo move forward or even speak. If the photo is of a group of people, one or two of them may catch your attention more than the others. Do allow this to happen; they are trying to speak to you in some way. You may start to hear a voice from the person in the photo. This voice could be inside your head, or spoken quite clearly in the room. Alternately, you may suddenly simply "know" something about the subject of the photo. As an example, let's say you are looking at a picture of an old house in the country. The house is not unusual, just a white farmhouse. Suddenly in your mind, you get an image of a murder that has occurred in the house many years ago. You may get a sense of horror, followed by people crying or feel sadness. Do not deny these images, or think they are just your imagination. You could be clearly sensing what has happened in this house. It is always a good idea to keep a pen and pad, or voice recorder nearby when you are doing any kind of psychic reading. That way you can record any "ideas" that come to you. These ideas are probably not your imagination, but psychic images you are picking up.
Afterwards, compare what you learned during the reading to what you actually know about the photo. If you are sharing a reading with another person, ask them to tell you what the subject in the photo was really like. If you have borrowed the photo from someone, ask them to give you some confirmation of your reading. Do not be too judgmental about your reading, particularly if it if your first time to read a photo. If you got anything from the photo, give yourself a pat on the back. If you get a big confirmation that your reading was correct, you could be a natural! As an example of this, let's say you are reading a photo of an elderly lady. You have borrowed this photo from a friend and know nothing about the subject. During your reading, you sense that the lady has passed away recently. You feel that this lady was an artist, and a very hot-tempered person. Perhaps you even get a mental image of her painting in a studio. Later, your friend tells you the photo is of her grandmother who died a few months ago. She describes her grandmother as being a very artistic person, but with a bad temper. Bingo, you have done a great photo reading!
It may take you a number of attempts at photo reading before you pick up anything at all. My next post will be about reading objects. Until then, blessings from Psykiksister.

Psychic Readings of Photos and Objects
Good morning, everybody! Welcome to a new week and a new month. Are you all ready for the fourth of July holiday? Time to break out your best potato salad recipe and light up the sparklers!
Today I am posting about how to psychically read photos and objects. Perhaps you've seen psychics on TV reading objects, such as rings, clothing, etc. Or maybe you've had a psychic read a photo or object for you at some point. It's a very simple process. You simply pick up or touch a photo or any kind of object, and see what psychic impressions you get from it. Some people are very gifted at this kind of thing. You do not have to be a professional psychic to learn to read photos or objects. All you have to do is be willing to try.
I did not grow up knowing how to read photos and objects. In fact, I had never heard of this type of psychic reading until I was thirty or so. At that age, I had already developed some psychic skills and was working part-time as a spiritual consultant. It was a period of great spiritual growth for me, and I was always learning something new. A friend had given me a dictionary of metaphysical subjects, and that is how I learned about reading photos. As soon as read about this, I simply "knew" it was for me. I knew in a psychic way I could do this. So, of course I could not wait to try it out! I started reading photos and objects and honing my skills in that area.
Over the years, I have taught a number of classes in reading photos and objects. It's something I enjoy, and like to share with people. Some of my students and class members have been sensational at this skill. Others had no interest whatsoever and no gift for it. So if you try this type of reading and get no results, please don't worry about it. You may be very gifted at some other type of psychic reading.
There is one thing you must know before trying to read photos and objects. Everything has energy, it's as simple and complicated as that. Every thing on earth has a form of energy, even if you can not readily see or feel that energy. If you have never worked with or experienced psychic energy, this may be difficult for you to understand. You may touch a photo and see or feel nothing but a flat picture on stiff paper. There may be no depth or emotion if you hold a ring or bracelet. It will probably just seem like a pretty piece of jewelry to you.
To those who are psychically aware, however, that same photo or ring, may evoke all kinds of images and feelings. Looking at the photo may suddenly turn into a movie like experience. People in a photo may speak to you and tell you their life's story. The ring you are holding may suddenly glow with energy, and emit all kinds of feelings. You may see an image of the ring's owner, or "know" some of it's history. These type of things may seem like a fantasy to you if you have never had these experiences before. They can be very real though, and every thing I am writing about today, I have experienced. You have only to open yourself to the idea and realize that everything has energy.
I think it would be good to learn how to feel psychic energy before jumping into reading photos and objects. Let me give you two experiments to try. No, you do not have to get out the Bunsen burners and go to the lab for these experiments! The first experiment you can do right now. It involves the psychic energy in our bodies. Of course, we all know we have energy in our bodies, we have our life force. If we did not have this energy, we would be dead! We have a type of psychic energy that extends beyond the body, too. It is called by different names in different countries, such as chi, ki, prana, etc. To feel this energy, hold your hands out in front of you, at the same level, but about three to four inches apart. Now, start bouncing your hands a little, as if you were forming a ball. Do this for a few minutes and observe how your hands feel. Are you starting to feel energy or tingling between your hands? Does it feel like an actual, solid ball of some kind is forming? This is your psychic energy, your chi. It extends beyond the body and constantly changes. Sometimes it is larger around our bodies, sometimes smaller. Congratulations, you have just experienced your own psychic energy for the first time!
Now for our second experiment. Pick up any object that is near you right now. A pencil, a notepad, a rock, anything. Please accept that this object has it's own energy, even if it is a very low level of energy. Now gently hold the object in your hand, or to your heart. Be still and see if you feel a tingle or emanation of energy. Don't expect too much, the object may not have too much energy and you are just learning. Listen to the object with your psychic self, the third eye. Do not expect anything in particular. If you even get a tingle from the object, you have completed a successful experiment. If you feel nothing at all, please try another day when you are calmer, or more open to the experiment.
My next post will be about reading photos. Until then, blessings from Psykiksister.
