My New Year Blog

Well, here we are! Another New Year full of endless possibilities & new beginnings with a clear & clean slate to focus on areas in your sprituality you wish to strengthen and gain more insights on. I always enjoy the beginning of a New Year, as it allows me to look back and celebrate the previous year. Even during the more difficult periods of life, it's important to celebrate and remember your strengths, all that you are and all that you do to help make our world a more spiritual place.

2011 was the busiest year for me yet. In connecting with people for readings, courses, healings, missing persons and other appearances, I aided more than 25,000 people in 2011. This makes me feel very proud, and very happy to those of you who look to me for advice and insights. I always do my very best in all angles of my spirituality, whether it be showing someone insights into their life that they themselves couldnt see, to teaching someone about their gifts and then watching that person soar -- these are very special & defining moments in my life, and I worship these moments, and I THANK YOU for being a part of them!!

I expect 2012 to be just as busy if not busier, and that is just fine with me. I've always dedicated my life to my work, and my work ethics will always remain that way. Those of you who REALLY know me, know how serious I take my work and how honored and gracious I am when someone comes to me for a reading or to take one of my courses, or someone who asks for a healing.

Dannii and I had a nice holiday in New York with my family. The trip was a bit of a comedy of errors in a few ways and deeply sad in others, but we had each other throughout it, which made us even stronger. From the car breaking down and us being stranded in North Carolina for three days, to having to put the family pet (Sandy) down, us both having colds, this trip was met with some laughter and some sadness, but we got through it and returned home to see the New Year in. Although the trip was not picture perfect, it was a journey that helped bond us even closer together.

I'm very proud of the couple Dannii and I have become. The first time we met, we knew we'd be together forever. Last New Years, I shared with you, my faithful friends, that Dannii & I were in a relationship. Well, now I've got even better news than that! Dannii and I are engaged! While the engagement is not new news to my close friends and family -- all of whom have known about it for light years now -- I wanted to open up to more of you, who continue to give me strength, to let you in a little deeper into my world. I know so many of you will be so happy for us!!

I've got lots of projects up my sleeve for this year! That includes 2 new courses, my new Past Lives CD, and the ever-challenging book project, and a few things I cant talk about just yet, but you know I'll bring them to you and let you know about everything as soon as it unfolds.

I wish 2012 to be a year of Great Health, Prosperity & Spirituality in your world, in your heart, and through your eyes.

Have You Meditated Lately?

You've likely heard me say the 'M' word, better known as meditation, numerous times on Conversations with Christopher http://www.blogtalkradio.com/thepsychic) and the reason why I am such a meditation advocate is I know first hand how very important meditation has been for me throughout my entire life and most important during my endless spiritual journey and lifelong mission to reach and help others.

It really all begins with meditation. Once you are able to center yourself and align yourself properly with the divine energies around you and settle your thoughts and concentrate, you'll find yourself in a very peaceful meditational zone of spiritual oneness.

I remember one of the very first times I meditated as a child and was dumbstruck by the powerful results. Almost immediately, I could feel more positive energy reach within the very depths of my soul and I recall vividly how the meditations serenaded my Spirit and gave me so much additional energy and an overall state of spiritual well-being, and it still does the same thing today!

When I began utilizing meditation each day, if only for a few minutes, I noticed rather immediate results, and when I began meditating before doing readings, I noticed it helped take my connection to an entirely higher level and my accuracy rate increased substancially and it helped me to connect much stronger and I became more grounded than ever before. I was certainly amazed, to say the least, and I never knew such a simple routine could make one's spiritual journey even more brighter and powerful.

And how much does meditation cost? Not a darn penny. Well, at least not at the moment, but who knows if the government may put a 'spiritual tax' in motion at some point in future. *smiles*

So many of us live very busy lives and often do not have the 30-60 minutes a day to do meditation, but this is where the biggest meditation misconception comes from and why most people try and eventually give up on their meditations, and that misconception is that one must meditate for hours a day to achieve spiritual oneness. This is not true, friends. Simple meditations (even the 5-10 minute ones) are most helpful, and let's face it, who really has an extra hour these days? Especially when a full hour is not needed for proper and successful meditations.

Relax your mind and Spirit before going into a meditation, and try to ask your Guides to help you remove any useless energy that you don't need, this helps to wipe out alot of stress that may have been experienced earlier in the day, and gives you an even better chance of a successful meditation. This is what I call 'Meditate Before You Meditate', clearing and cleansing one's Spirit before going into a meditation helps strengthen your connection to the universe and The Other Side. It helps to remove the veil and can help open your spiritual portal as well.

Here is a favorite meditation exercise of mine that I'd like to share with you:

It's a relaxing exercise you can do either in meditation at home or in real time particularly if you have a sandy beach close by.

For meditating at home: In your meditative Sanctuary of the Mind see yourself sitting on the sand. Imagine you can feel the presence of the water, the blue sky with a few fluffy white clouds. Breathe in slowly and allow the aroma of the beach to fill your lungs. After several breaths, allow your fingers to feel the texture of the sand. Know that this sand has been on the Planet since time immemorial in various shapes.

When you feel comfortable start to build a sandcastle. Imagine you have a child’s small bucket and spade, and work with these. Create a building in whatever shape feels best for you. As you meditate you may well hear voices from your past and memories from another age. Allow yourself to progress with the building. It can be any shape that you desire. Once you have completed it, sit back and survey your project and review the memories that have come up.

Visiting a sandy beach: If you can visit a real sandy beach in real time do exactly the same thing. Spend some time breathing and relaxing. Then become conscious of the place, the beach, the water, the sun and the sky and the air. Next observe your feelings, how you are sitting or kneeling. Note any thoughts that may come up. When you feel comfortable, start building your sandcastle. Feel your fingers touching the sand. Work on the castle and allow it to develop. You may well feel foolish. Observe such feelings without judgment and they will fade away. You may well have someone come by and ask what you are doing. If you feel so inclined, ask them to join you. You may well find your activity triggers the creation of a sandcastle-building club. Discuss with each other how you feel. It can be quite a learning experience.

Meditation is available for all of us to use, and it's worthwhile to take part in it, especially if you are wanting to strengthen your spirituality, abilities and gifts, as well as enjoying a more positive spiritual journey where stress can be eliminated and removed simply by meditation. Meditation isnt for everyone, but it sure has been a livesaver for me! Meditation helps us not sweat the small stuff and gears our focus more towards our priorites!

So There's That: Healing Through The Holidays

If you are one of the many people who have bittersweet feelings or emotions during the holidays, I hope this blog will be of some help to you as we embark on yet another holiday season.

During the holiday season, I speak with hundreds of people. Whether it be through personal readings, enrichment courses or casual conversations, and a good portion of clients this holiday season seem to be sharing in with the bittersweet stages of the holiday season for quite a few different and very valid reasons.

2010 was a very, very hard and difficult year for so many people. Money that was readily available for gifts and holiday travels last year and the year before isnt that plentiful for quite a few people this year, so there's that. Alot of people are also very concerned about their livelihood in 2011, so there's that. Let's not forget the many of us who have lost someone very important to us during the holiday season and those emotions and feelings are ever strong and powerful especially during this time of year, so there's that.

Many of us have lost people who we held very dear to our hearts and moving forward with life when God calls one of our loved ones Home is never easy. But as we all know from experience, life does go on, we move forward because we don't have a choice in the matter. When we do move forward, we often feel alot more freedom during the healing process, and new emotions of courage and strength surrounds our Spirit. This is a time when our Guides & Angels are doing all they can to make sure we keeping on the same page and not veering off our charted life plan and delaying or shelving our the real reasons why we are here: our life mission and purpose. If you've lost a loved one and are feeling the loss especially hard during this time of year, the biggest healer can often be to just get out of the house and go do something, whether it be volunteering at a reputable charitable organization (check out http://www.thepsychicspirit.com/charity.html if you need a jump start to finding some worthy charitable organizations who are paving the road for healthier futures for all of us), going to a library to help a child learn how to read, or going out for a holiday meal with a friend -- regardless, sometimes just getting out of the house can be the biggest way to let go and enchance the healing process through the holiday season.

2010 was a very uneasy year, but 2011 will be better in some ways. We all have to realize that the recession that we are all currently experiencing didnt happen overnight, and it's not going to leave overnight either. We all need to stick together and allow it to run it's course, and things will improve. Sometimes gradually, other times gruelingly slow, but improvement will be shown on a variety of levels in 2011. We must all remain positive and hopeful as this will help the universal energies that surround all of us to be more precise and helpful during the process.

While there are countless ways why one may feel depressed this time of year, there are also plenty of hearty ways to understand just how blessed you really are. Together as a big spiritual family, we are given so much direction and guidance not only from our Guides & Angels, but from the very people who love us the most. This also tends to be a time of year where families bury the hatchet and start over from a clean slate. Understand that many problems that one may have with other family members often comes from love, not hate. Repair what you can, and move forward without looking back. With as many blessings as we all have in our lives, 'tis the season for remembering them all and reciting them or writing them down to read whenever you may feel upset or indifferent about the season.

God, your Guides & Angels and so many people in your life truly love you for all that you are. If you are going through changes, don't hide them -- share them with your family and friends. In doing so, this can prevent further or future confusion which can lead to arguments and painful family silence that is both damaging and haunting. You are loved by so many, whether you feel it or not, it's the truth.

Love yourself with the love that you freely give others. Let some of that love reach the inner depths of your heart as it brightens your soul and radiates throughout your Spirit.

Sending you many blessings this holiday season,
