			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><sup><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-662" title="300px-Harvest_moon" src="http://neworleanspsychic.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/300px-Harvest_moon1-150x150.jpg" alt="300px-Harvest_moon" width="150" height="150" />“</sup>To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven” Ecclesiastes 3. Each turn of the year offers us the gift of participation in the natural flow. Life is cyclical and one of the keys to happiness is to tap into the energy of that time and take advantage of the support it inherently provides. Autumn offers us several opportunities to learn and grow.<span id="more-661"></span></p>
<p>Known as the time of the Harvest Moon, autumn signals the end of the harvest season. This is the time to celebrate our accomplishments, our harvests, and to take stock of where we stand. Just as the farmer uses his energy to survey his surplus so too can we take a moment to take note of what we have achieved this summer. As we prepare for the winter ahead, we need to know what we have in order to use that time to formulate what we hope to reap from our next planting. Take a look around and see what in your life you are plentiful in. Are your relationships, career, health and wealth all providing enough positivity? If not, what can you work on this winter to help make your next harvest more fruitful? Is there anything that needs to change or that you need to let go of in your life? Autumn offers us the chance to transform ourselves.I’ve spent time in the Northeast and New England and have been fortunate enough to see the beginning of the changing foliage and shedding leaves. Not only is this visually beautiful but it is a wonderful metaphor of what we can all be doing to use this energy to progress along our higher paths. Like the leaves we change but unlike them we fight it. Funny because one really can’t fight Mother or Human Nature. Change is a gift and always precedes rebirth. With change we often have to let go like the falling leaves and watch as outworn patterns of behaviors blow away with the wind. What ever is shed makes way for the new shoots. Know that only good will grow and thus the cycle of nature that continues to turn can be met with your open arms.</p>
<p>The fall is a wonderful time for self reflection and the transition from what was to what will be. Embrace these gifts of the season and participate fully in all that the spin of nature&#8217;s wheel has to offer.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-646" title="katrina" src="http://neworleanspsychic.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/katrina-133x150.png" alt="katrina" width="133" height="150" />I had been anxious the whole summer of Katrina. Hurricane seasons had come and gone for years without me paying any mind. The summer of 2005 was different, there was something strange in the air, an uneasy energetic current. I had a string of signs of impending doom. There was the mirror that shattered; the birds flew into my house and the dreams of all of the dead people in my attic. If there was as much as a breeze in the gulf, I was ready to get on out of here which ultimately I did. I evacuated on Saturday morning, packed up the sedan and headed north without looking back. Something wicked this way was coming. I psychically saw the flooding and I got going after warning folks to take their pets and get hell out. It wasn’t the wind that was going to get us, it would be the water and it was going to be bad. I am often asked by others from around the country if I evacuated for the storm and my answer is that I wouldn’t be a very good psychic if I didn’t.<span id="more-647"></span></p>
<p>The night before I left town I sat quietly and meditated, asking for a clear answer if this was the big one that I had seen before. I received a vision of my mother’s spirit swimming to me underwater and it doesn’t get much clearer than that. I knew that I could drive away from my house and not come back. I sat in my home knowing what was going to happen and I just began to weep. How could I fit a lifetime of living into the trunk of a car? I grabbed my dog, cat, some photos and some paperwork. If I had to decide what else was more important than what else I would have had a melt down. It was all important, it was my world. Looking back at that moment, I feel that I learned, perhaps, my greatest lesson of Katrina – letting go. You can’t take it with you! All we really have is ourselves and our connections to others. Material things may be fun but can’t be clung to. At any moment they could be gone and were for many. You learn to separate the wheat from the chaff when there is a Cat 5 hurricane breathing down your neck.</p>
<p>I was fortunate, my house only took in a foot of water and a chunk of wind damage. At least I had somewhere to come back to and rebuild. To my brothers and sisters in St. Bernard, the Lower Ninth, New Orleans East and the Lakefront who lost it all goes my deepest sympathy. They still continue on in uncertainty five years later. There are areas of this city that look as surreal as when I was first allowed back in after the storm. We are rebounding but with a bit of a limp. None of us will ever really get back the life we had before and some more than others but, in reality, all any of us have is this moment and we have to release it whether we want to or not. Life is a series of letting go. Katrina taught us that.</p>
<p>The media has descended upon New Orleans for our 5<sup>th</sup> year anniversary, all over the news, reporters on nearly every corner. Some of us have been laughing because the day after the big event everyone will pack up and something new will be news and we’ll fade once more. It’s O.K. as most of us here have moved on. We have mourned our losses and created new lives. It isn’t always easy but learning to live in the moment helps. We appreciate all the assistance and attention we receive but we will never be the same again. Forever changed, our understanding of our mortality and of the temporal world has shifted to a much more accepting tone. Perhaps things are a bit easier in the Big Easy as a result of Katrina bringing us the lesson of letting go. If you would like to be a part of the celebration of this city&#8217;s resilience on this milestone occasion, go get yourself a nice drink, kick back and let go of your worries. I guarantee that’s what most of us will be doing. Cheers!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://neworleanspsychic.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/dream.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-637" title="dream" src="http://neworleanspsychic.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/dream-150x150.jpg" alt="dream" width="150" height="150" /></a>At the height of my game I could recall up to seven complete dreams a night that contained all of the vividness of real life. I was fortunate to spend each morning, over breakfast, as a child having lively discussions about our last night’s dreams and what they meant to our waking existence. My psychic mother insisted that I understand this other world because it contained important messages about past, present and future and these messages could help me and others. I willingly obliged because each night’s sleep was filled with wild adventures, my own personal Disneyland where my imagination ruled.<span id="more-636"></span></p>
<p>Growing up a child of the 60’s, dream interpretation was all the rage among the higher consciousness crowd. As an entire movement endeavored to know themselves, understanding of the mechanics of the sub-conscious mind became a preferred route to greater self awareness. Most schools of psychoanalytical thought, Freudian, Jungian, Adlerian and Gestalt rely greatly upon the dreamscape to find clues to personal growth and empowerment. In order to unlock this door to the psyche and benefit from its treasures we must first be able to remember and here are 5 steps to help you master that art.</p>
<p>1)    Allow yourself a decent amount of sleep each night. Most of us do not give ourselves the physical relaxation necessary to create a fertile landscape to dream. Getting 7+ hours is good for mind, body and spirit.</p>
<p>2)    Dump the day behind you. Before you go to bed do a mental review of your day. Clear a path for your sub-conscious to do its work. If there is too much of the day still whirling in your mind it will prevent the nocturnal activity from really taking off.</p>
<p>3)    As you are falling asleep repeatedly tell yourself to remember your dreams. Planting this idea firmly into your mind before you go to sleep really works wonders. You may need to be persistent but if done nightly; you will see results within a short time.</p>
<p>4)    Don’t bolt right out of bed. Ease into consciousness. Take a few moments upon waking the go over your dreams while they are fresh in your mind. This is what takes us to the most important and final step, writing down your dreams.</p>
<p>5)    Keep a journal and pen next to your bed side and upon awakening, quickly write the details of your dream. Do not stop and analyze as you are writing. We will call this stream of sub consciousness writing. No critiquing allowed. Even if all you remember are snippets, a vague feeling, an odd symbol or flash of a face, write these down. This is your life script unfolding.</p>
<p>Our mind is our friend. It is constantly working out ways to help us live a better life. I have found my dreams to hold the solutions to many of my day to day issues. My dreams allow me to step outside and see situations from an objective view to gain clarity. Dreams are also powerful relaters of information from our intuitive self. They often hold information of events still to come. Once you have developed the ability to have vivid dream recall you can then begin learning to work with interpreting them and we will go a bit more into this in future. For now simply practice these five steps and you will become the master of your dreams and the navigator to a more fulfilling waking world.</p>

A spectacular host of planets were all in alignment to create a heightened energy wave on which to send out reality shifting though and feeling.  We knew then that positive intention was necessary to usher in a new spiritual age and we have seen much movement in that direction in these past 23 years. Think for a moment of how mainstream psychics, mediums, angels and ghosts have become. Well now we are being asked to focus our intentions once more. This time for the Conscious Convergence and as we will see this one holds even more importance because it paves the way to 2012.<span id="more-611"></span></p>
<p>As many of you are aware, we are nearing the end of the Mayan calendar. There is much debate on what that exact date is, either October 28, 2011 or December 21, 2012, but no one is debating that there will be some major shift in our current life experienced reality. I have never predicted the end of the world and have great ethical differences with those who do. I personally find it irresponsible to send such thoughts into the ethers. I prefer to believe that we have the option of transcending our view of separation from one another and from the creator and that we can live in what is called unity consciousness.  We are all one in spirit. According to Carl Johan Calleman, Ph.D. in Physical Biology and expert on the Mayan calendar, this Saturday and Sunday 7/17 – 7/18 is a pivotal time to concentrate our intentions once again in prayers of love, light, healing, hope and connectedness – the Conscious Convergence. There are several ways that you can participate.</p>
<p>At the website <strong><a title="conscious convergence" href="http://www.commonpassion.org/groups/conscious-convergence" target="_blank">www.commonpassion.org</a></strong> there are many group listings of those who are gathering together across the globe as well as suggestions for other ways that you can be involved. Perhaps you can join with friends or family to create your own consciousness raising event. Even if you are by yourself, tuning into the energy force at hand with positive thoughts for the planet and all beings with strong intention is enough. If you have the opportunity to be in nature, that is great. You can light candles, burn incense or listen to inspirational music; there really is no wrong way to do it as long as you have intention of helping to raise your spiritual consciousness and helping to create a sense of universal oneness with all that is.</p>
<p>Everyday we feel our world spinning a bit more out of control. Earthquakes, oil spills, economic uncertainty and political unrest. Most of the time it all seems so hopeless and we feel so helpless in doing anything to fix it. This is one of those moments when we can and must act to shift the path which we are heading down.  I envision a world of light, love and reason. It is my hope that you will join with me and the many other intentioned folks around the globe this weekend to, once again, open the door for the new age and help to create our future.</p>
<p>To read Dr. Calleman&#8217;s in-depth report on this event please <strong><a title="dr. calleman" href="http://www.calleman.com/content/articles/ninth_wave.htm" target="_blank">click here</a></strong></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Part 2 – Post Conscious Convergence</span></p>
<p>Namaste and many blessings to all who are reading this. I participated in the Conscious Convergence this past weekend and it was an incredibly uplifting experience. I would like to share with you one of the visualization/meditations that we did in hopes that you will be inspired to guide through it yourself or create your own version.</p>
<p>The theme of this event was to create unity consciousness and erase the lines between us and them, the idea being to shift to global thinking because we are all sharing this earth and experience in this space and time. Joining with tens of thousands of others I sent my waves of consciousness to unite in spirit with elders who were stationed at the four points of our world. Native shaman opened the power portals as we envisioned creating a global tree of life by planting the seeds of love and good will, via imagination, in the north, south, east and west and then in the center. As we were being led in prayer our spirits visited the far reaches of the world to pave the way for truly united nations and for the time when nations become meaningless and considered divisive and unnessesary. What we do unto others is ultimately visited upon ourselves so let’s pitch together and create an Eden once more.</p>
<p>This global tree now planted can grow to nurture and sustain all of us. With roots in many directions, it is now firmly rooted in this our earth, for all beings to enjoy. If you find yourself succumbing to the fears of the 2012 doomsday scenario please take a moment to switch gears and embrace the vision of universal oneness, peace &amp; light. It&#8217;s always better to be a part of the solution than part of the problem and in this small way we can help the world spin in a positively intentioned way. These good thoughts will water this tree of life for generations to enjoy.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-573" title="pelican" src="http://neworleanspsychic.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/pelican.jpg" alt="pelican" width="99" height="133" />Generally my posts are rather up-beat but I feel a great need to respond to the many emails that I have received regarding the disaster in the Gulf. Let me begin by saying thank you for your continued concern for us Gulf Coast residents. I cannot begin to express my feelings about this incident and what it means to us and the innocent wildlife but I’ll try and I will offer some ways that we can help those in the trenches trying to preserve the eco-system.<span id="more-571"></span></p>
<p>I don’t really need to go into the details of this catastrophe. You all are watching the news of reading the paper about it too. I can tell, having some inside scoop, that it is being under reported. The best headline that I have seen so far, from The Pen, “They Punched a Hole into Hell”. That about sums it up, but I will remain focused on the positive and what we can do to help.</p>
<p>Many of you know of my love for animals. Because of this I will recommend that donations go towards whatever can be done to rescue and rehab the coastal wildlife. Below are the names of several groups, local and national, whom would greatly benefit from any support that you can offer. I thank you, in advance, for your generosity in any way of giving. Everything will help with such a daunting mission.</p>
<p>Twenty one years after the Exxon Valdez spill into Prince William Sound they are still cleaning up the damages. My deepest prayer is that animal lives be spared and that technology will also serve as our friend in helping contain any further damage. I send beams of white healing light to the entire coast from here in Louisiana all up into Florida that all of the inhabitants be safe and unaffected. Amen.</p>
<p><a title="wildlife sanctuary louisiana" href="http://www.wingsofhoperehab.org/" target="_blank">Wings of Hope Wildlife Sanctuary</a> – a local wildlife sanctuary that will be on the front line</p>
<p><a title="lousiana wildlife rehab" href="http://www.lawraonline.com/" target="_blank">LWRA</a> – Another Louisiana based wildlife rescue and rehabilitation group with lot’s of valuable information</p>
<p><a title="defenders of wildlife" href="http://www.defenders.org/" target="_blank">Defenders of Wildlife</a> – National organization that does a great deal to help sustain wildlife world wide.</p>
<p>Here is a beautiful prayer written by legendary New Orleans musician Doctor John</p>
<p><strong>Prayer by Dr. John (5.6.2010)<br />
Recite at Sundown</strong></p>
<p><strong>Great Spirit, Mother God, Father God</strong> <strong><br />
Surround your people with white light<br />
To protect them from harm.<br />
Send your spirit guides to keep the earth strong;<br />
Angels to protect the land from the oil;<br />
The waters from pollution;<br />
The animals from the storm.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Surround us with your holy light,</strong> <strong><br />
Smile upon us to keep us strong,<br />
Preserve the land.<br />
Spare your children and enlighten the masses.<br />
Give us a solution.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Four winds blow; swirl to the sea.</strong> <strong><br />
While the white light shines and protects the sacred center.<br />
Remove the earth from the path of harm.<br />
Forgive the transgressors.<br />
Let the light remove the dark.</strong></p>
<p>and another powerful one from Unity .org</p>
<p><strong>Blessings for the Gulf Coast<br />
</strong></p>
<p><strong>In times when it seems circumstances are out of our control, we can  pause and go within. Take this moment to go within and find the peace  that is God; find the order that is ever-present within and around us  all.</strong></p>
<p><strong>We affirm and have faith that the Universe is well ordered and even now,  in the seemingly overwhelming conditions of the Gulf Coast oil spill,  God is at work through nature, through the minds and hearts of the  people repairing and cleaning the spill.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Even now, there is order in the ocean as it rallies to recover, repair  and heal. All the creatures of the ocean and surrounding areas that are  affected are part of the process that is unfolding. Our faith tells us  that from the darkness comes the dawn … a new day is at hand.</strong></p>
<p><strong>We now affirm that we come out of this experience with a deeper  understanding of how precious our waters are. We are inspired to act in  ways that nurture and heal our earth and its oceans, rivers, lakes and  streams. We are filled with knowledge and a deep spiritual understanding  of what is ours to do. We take action with confidence, knowing we are  part of the Divine Order that is unfolding in this and every  circumstance and condition.</strong></p>
<p><strong>We are grateful for solutions, for wise actions, for swift healing.</strong></p>
<p><strong>And so it is.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Amen.</strong></p>
<p>A prayer by Dr. Masaru Emoto &#8211; May 9, 2010</p>
<p><strong>Now let&#8217;s give energy of love and gratitude to the waters and all  the living creatures in Mexico Gulf by praying like this:</strong></p>
<p><strong>To the  water, whales, dolphins, pelicans, fishes, shellfishes, planktons,  corals, algae and all creatures in our Gulf of Mexico:</strong></p>
<p><strong>I  apologize.<br />
Please forgive me.<br />
Thank you.<br />
I love you.<br />

<strong><a title="Prayer for the gulf" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmhWsPNrRgs" target="_blank">Click here</a> </strong>to view this powerful prayer, set to music, by Dr. Masuru Emoto on YouTube .<strong></p>
<p></strong>Prayer from The Thirteen Grandmothers<strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>We ask you to cast, anchor, and hold the Net of Light steady for the  Gulf of Mexico,&#8221; the Grandmothers said. &#8220;This crisis is affecting the  entire world, and humanity is asleep. Wake up!&#8221; they cried. &#8220;Animals are  dying, plants are dying, and your Mother is writhing in agony. If you  hold the Net of Light steady at this time you will help stave off  further catastrophe.</p>
<p>&#8220;You have been lulled into a false sleep,&#8221; they said, &#8220;told that others  (B.P.) would take care of this problem. This is not so,&#8221; they said. &#8220;And  this is not the time for you to fall into oblivion. Determine now to  stay awake, and once you have made that commitment, think of, cast, and  hold the Net of Light. Hold it deep and hold it wide. Amplify its reach  to penetrate the waters of the Gulf and dive deep beneath the crust of  Mother Earth. Anchor it at the earth&#8217;s core and as you hold it there,  ask it to unify with the mineral kingdom of this planet. It will do this  and will harmonize with all the solid and liquid mineral states on  earth-including oil and gas. The Net of Light will call these minerals  back into harmony.</p>
<p>&#8220;Whatever human beings have damaged, human beings must correct,&#8221; the  Grandmothers said. &#8220;This is the law. We repeat: This is the law. You  cannot sit back and ask God to fix the mess humanity has created. Each  of you must throw your shoulders to the wheel and work. We are asking  for your help. Several years ago we gave you the Net of Light so you  would be able to help the earth at times like this. Step forward now.  This is the Net of Light that will hold the earth during the times of  change that are upon you,&#8221; they said.</p>
<p>&#8220;First move into your heart and call on us. We will meet you there. The  Net of Light is lit by the jewel of your heart,&#8221; they said, &#8220;so move  into this lighted place within you and open to the Net of which you are a  part. Bask in its calming presence. It holds you at the same time that  you hold it.</p>
<p>&#8220;Now think of magnifying your union with us. We, the Great Council of  the Grandmothers, are with you now, and all those who work with the Net  of Light are also with you. There are thousands, even millions now  connected in light,&#8221; they said. &#8220;Along with this union, call forth the  power of the sacred places on earth. These will amplify the potency of  our joint effort. Then call on the sacred beings that have come to  prevent the catastrophe that threatens to overwhelm your planet. We will  work together,&#8221; they said, nodding slowly.</p>
<p>&#8220;Think of, cast and magnify the presence of the Net of Light in the Gulf  of Mexico. See, imagine or think of it holding the waters, holding the  land, the plants, the sea life, and the people. Holding them all!&#8221; they  said. &#8220;The Net of Light is holding them steady; it is returning them to  balance. Let the love within your lighted heart keep pouring into the  Net of Light and hold, hold, hold. Calmly and reverently watch as the  light from your heart flows along the strands of the Net. It will follow  your command and continuously move forth. As soon as you think of it,  it will happen. We ask you to practice this for only a few minutes at a  time, but to repeat it throughout the day and night.</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-564" title="earth" src="http://neworleanspsychic.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/earth.jpg" alt="earth" width="150" height="150" />This month has been one of much upheaval for Mother Earth. As earthquakes continue to remind us how dependent we are upon the very ground beneath us and volcanic eruption, our dependence upon the air. No question that we have a symbiotic relationship with this magnificent planet but I believe that our side of the bargain is out of whack and we better get with the process of re balance and healing as these catastrophic events are calling us to make things right. While some may claim this geologic activity is cyclical upheaval, just a pattern in nature, I disagree and feel that we are far more complicit in these events and I would like to offer a few things we can do to help.<span id="more-563"></span></p>
<p>There was a time when we and the earth spoke to each other. She taught us what to eat to sustain us and provided the air and water without which we&#8217;d die. The ancient ones knew which plants to use to heal because Mother Earth told them so. Obviously it wasn&#8217;t trial and error or we would have wiped ourselves out long ago. We once worshiped the Sun and Moon and sea and seasons because we instinctually knew that our very life depended upon our connection with the planet. Along the ages we have misplaced this innate connection and natural disasters are a big wake up call for us all to take responsibility for our environs in spirit and action. I do not believe that we have crossed the point of no return but I believe that the time to work to ensure our future is now and that there are some things that we can do to help repair the connection and help heal our home.</p>
<p>Thankfully technology has given us some real tangible steps to take to start with. Using fluorescent bulbs, recycled paper and eco friendly products is a great way to send out a beam of love to Mother Earth and let her know you care. A positive action like recycling bottles is a message that you are committed to be a good steward of Earth while you are here. These seeming simple actions carry with them the power of intent and the energy of integrity.</p>
<p>Another wonderful way to send positive energy to Mother Earth is to fully appreciate her with all of your senses. Spend one day devoted to using each one of your natural senses. Using sight, observe nature’s beauty, the extraordinary palate of colors she provides. Next would be sound and paying full attention to the wind and birds even the stillness. Taste requires you to sample an array of natural foods and delight in the flavor. On the day for scents enjoy flowers, herbs, foods and on the day for touch there is an amazing array from which to select. The most important thing to focus on in this truly powerful reconnection practice is to take in the magnificence of natures gifts.</p>
<p>Buddha found enlightenment sitting beneath the Bohdi Tree. He sat there upon the Earth beneath nature’s canopy and became one with all that is. I have had some of my most profound enlightenments after spending time in this very same position. We all have access to a park or yard where we can find a tree and feel comfortable sitting beneath it. This exercise, when done with healing intent can greatly affect the mood of our planet. Find a tree that speaks to you and sit up right comfortably beneath it. Close your eyes and take several deep breaths as you let the cares of the moment go. Once you are relaxed, imagine that the base of your spine is a root that goes down to the very core of earth. Now you have established the root you begin sending a flow of pink and gold energy from the base of you spine down into the earth and from the earth back up to the base of your spine where it continues to circulate love from you into the earth.</p>
<p>Gardening is another great way to get earthy. I like to dig and play with the dirt and watch the fruit of my labors grow. I have plants all over inside and out and my life is richer for it plus it’s good for the air.</p>
<p>I was thinking that Mother Earth must feel pretty taken for granted. She gives and gives and gives to us but gets very little in return. As with most one sided relationships, one day she’s going call it quits. But like most Mothers she will be forgiving if we but give her our love and appreciation. Whatever you chose to do this Earth Day please take a moment and give a little love to her.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-552" title="worried woman" src="http://neworleanspsychic.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/worried-woman-150x150.jpg" alt="worried woman" width="125" height="125" />Never in my many years of psychic readings have I ever felt the level of stress from clients that I am of late. So many of us humans are sad, drained, anxious and defeated. So many of us uncertain, alienated and lost. In the old days, I jokingly said, no offense guys, but if men weren’t so difficult most psychics would be out of business. Gone are the halcyon days when romance ranked numero uno on everyone’s list of concerns. Now the number one concern is survival and most of us are being forced into that mode unwillingly and often unconsciously. Identifying the problem is the first step and it is a necessary step if we hope to regain some peace of mind and be able to handle life graciously with some hope of a return to balance and harmony.<span id="more-551"></span></p>
<p>Each day we are bombarded with news of disasters, wars, a perilous economy, doomsday scenarios, terrorism, spree killings and climate uncertainty. This is just the 24/7 under current psychic buzz that is going on all over the world all the time. Now this is pretty grim and I haven’t even bothered to begin to list the personal issues that each of us must face along our own personal journey. Credit card bills, career uncertainty, familial unrest, life&#8217;s purpose and I could go on. Take into consideration that we mix and mingle with each other everyday and pick up the vibes of unrest of those around us personally and professionally and you have a recipe for disaster for the psyche that will greatly affect your daily quality of life. If you’re not ready to scream just thinking about this kind of stuff then you are one of the rare exceptions. Most of us are treading on our last nerves in these times and desperately searching for solace in what seems like a scary world. Is it any wonder many feel lost, stressed and unable to move forward? All of the weight of the world builds up upon us and this I call psychic stress. While physical stress will have you shaking on the outside, psychic stress has you shaking on the inside.  It is an over all malaise, a soul flu that magnifies fear and can lead us spiraling down into a pit of despair. As spiritual beings we  must identify what is affecting our spiritual being and if it aint good, get rid of it. It is a daily task of balancing the energy of the inside and outside world but the benefits are quickly noticeable and grow experientially. Here are some simple steps that you can take to give yourself a psychic clearing, so to say, to feel revived, refreshed and requipped to meet life&#8217;s experiences.</p>
<p>1)      By simply identifying that you are being affected by outside influence, you are taking a step toward unburdening yourself. There is a sense of relief in knowing that it isn’t all you. It is also a step back that will allow you to separate yourself from circumstance and regain some objectivity and perspective, essential tools for moving forward in psychic clearing.  I cannot stress this enough that there are energies out there affecting us all. No man is an island. Acknowledgement opens the door for change to come.</p>
<p>2)      Sit down and write all of your concerns on paper.<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong> </strong>ALL<strong> </strong></span>of your concerns, no matter how far fetched or silly you may think others would find them. This exercise is for you and no one else, unless you decide to share. Many fears vanish like a phantom when shown the light of day on paper. These are always the worst case scenarios that never come to pass. Others you will find to be totally out of your control, like the actions of others, and therefore recognizable as futile efforts. What remains are the things that are within your control, health, finances and the tangible things in life and with these areas you can take positive action and clear the deck of worry step by step. Some of our burdens are just clutter we can clear ourselves.</p>
<p>3)      When you enter a new space, stop and take notice of the energy that you feel. Living and work spaces contain energy as demonstrated by the venerable art of Feng Shui. We are affected by the energy of the spaces we’re in, some acutely so, and it is best to recognize that effect and determine if it energy is a plus or minus for you. If the vibes are negative then use your inner eye to envelop the space in luminescent white light, send your weight to the ground and feel the powerful line that runs vertically through you from earth to heaven. This will clear other influences easily and reclaim your psychic balance. If it is a place where you will be spending a good deal of time you may want to burn sage incense in a counter clockwise direction throughout just to give any unsettledness an extra TKO.</p>
<p>4)      When you bath or shower, using your inner eye bath your woes and cares away. Imagine your entire body being cleansed until it is as bright and clear as a crystal. Let the gracious element of water use it’s properties to remove the psychic soot that we all accumulate. in our natural state of being, we are radiant beings, filled with light and love. As you dry off and return to the world, your aura will be returned to it&#8217;s natural positive state, once again able to draw to itself the positive manifestations we all seek. There are many recommendations of herbs and oils that are ideally suited to psychic cleansing. Sage, lemongrass, hyssop and citruses are ingredients to look for. There is also the cologne Florida Water that is often used after bathing to seal and protect the aura. By aquiring special products to use in your cleansing, you help set the intention for a positive result.</p>
<p>5)      Last but certainly most important is to purify ones mind. Zone out, space out, meditate, detach and release all that fetters your mind. While I prefer to meditate to ambient music and positive word others prefer the sounds of silence. It is worthwhile to have a bit of both. The most valuable gift that you can give yourself is to free your mind. have a little fun with this step and, using your inner eye, create your happy place. Your ideal spot could be a lovely island, floating in the midst of the Pleiades, or a special place from long ago that allowed you to feel safe. Make it yours, make it real and make it easy to recall. Throw all of your cares to Heaven and leave your troubles at the door. Go to that happy place, often, once a day even if for only a few minutes and have a bit of time without care or concern. We all deserve a moment of peace. Make yours happen, your own special time.</p>
<p>All of these steps are designed to be used with ease and joy. A few simple rituals, done daily, will return to you ten fold  peace of mind and clarity of purpose. We humans aren’t made for this kind of barrage of outside stress and inside worry. Give yourself the gift of psychic clearing, harmony and balance and you will reconnect to your authentic self and your authentic self is the most important person in your life.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-547" title="saint's" src="http://neworleanspsychic.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/images.jpg" alt="saint's" width="109" height="126" />As a psychic in New Orleans you can only imagine how many times that I have been asked about the Saint’s going to the Super Bowl. For close to 20 years I suffered the “kill the messenger” feeling of having to say that I didn’t see it happening that year. So beleaguered we Saint’s fans, so dedicated and so often disappointed.  Four years ago, on a radio appearance on our local Fox station I was asked, yet again, if I saw the Saint’s taking us to Super Bowl. It was the first year after the storm and we all so needed some good news. I had to say no, that I didn’t see it but I followed that up by saying that in 4 years we would be there. I couldn’t believe that these words came out of my mouth but they did. The odds against that prediction were staggering, when pigs fly etc…, but that was what spirit told me and that is what I said. I’d near forgotten it but was reminded by a sports fan who had taken note. I took note and when football season began I started making good luck gris-gris, lucky charms, for the Saint’s and watched and waited with my fellow New Orleanians as week after week we won, 13 weeks straight! Even if the loss of the 14<sup>th</sup> game was it, those wins had begun to heal us. Black and Gold fever had come along to ease the lingering funk that most of us greeted daily. These days you could smell the spicy scent of glory in the air and see the bright smile of possibility return to our eyes.<span id="more-546"></span></p>
<p>I was out of town on the day that we won entrance into Super Bowl. After receiving numerous texts and calls from home about it I joined the Who Dat Nation and continually, like a mantra, chanted our “Who Dat Say Dey Gonna Beat Dem Saints” anthem. I was driving my way back through a nine state tour and everyone along the trip who saw my Louisiana license plate honked at me in solidarity. Clients and friends from across the US let me know that they were rooting for New Orleans. We were certainly the underdogs and in today&#8217;s chaotic climate, all Americans needed a feel good story to cling onto and we were it and you know that every New Orleanian grasped onto that support with open arms. We had all but been wiped from the map a few years back and had been battling to rebuild with little glory to this point. One politician, not to name names but Dennis Hassert, said that New Orleans shouldn’t be rebuilt. Wonder how he’s feeling about that proclamation now, but I digress. We were feeling the love of the entire country as they began to feel that if New Orleans can make it anyone can. You might, at this point, wonder what this has to do with spirituality. Well let me tell you, we all need to recognize spiritual experience in it’s many guises in order to know the divine. One mans football game was an entire city’s redemption and it only takes a moment to lay a whole new playing field. &#8220;The Lord works in mysterious ways, his wonders to perform&#8221;</p>
<p>On the night of the game, I sat quietly in my home way too emotional to watch TV. I waited surrounded by candlelight and icons, silent in prayer and supplication, knowing that the moment that we won I would hear the spontaneous eruption of joy. I knew with all of my heart and soul that this win was certain. It began with the boats along the river blowing their stacks, then the train whistles, then the victory cries poring out of each household and finally the fireworks. I walked outside, knelt upon the ground and wept like a baby. My city, my heart, my home. We are back and we are going to be O.K. now. It is the will to spirit that won for New Orleans and it won for everyone who has ever been defeated and has had to fight like hell to get back up. Much of the Saint’s win was, by my view, divine. Experts had us down and out only hours from victory within our grasps. It all changed in one moment, we did it and so can you. No matter how impossible the dream it truly can come true against all odds. Keep at it and be not disheartened. Year after year we failed and came back next season. No matter what. Within each of us lies that fortitude and this just might be your championship season, your shining hour.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-541" title="Heart Wreath" src="http://neworleanspsychic.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Heart-Wreath.jpg" alt="Heart Wreath" width="134" height="144" />This is one of the most important metaphysical truths you can ever learn! Give and it shall be given to you in return.  There was a time that I was afraid of releasing anything. I had a fear based poverty consciousness that limited my way of living. I thought it was dog eat dog darling and everyone had to fend for themselves. If you had asked me then if I were selfish, I would have argued no and pointed the finger outward to the rest of the world. I view those times as the dark ages of my development and I am happy to have found a lighter way. It is an ancient art of living that is the quickest way to create for yourself a prosperous path. I would like to share a bit more of it with you.<span id="more-540"></span></p>
<p>As a young girl raised in a Euro Christian culture I learned of the act of tithing as counseled in the Bible. You are instructed to give one tenth of your income to your spiritual community in thanks and reverence.  The passing of the plate on Sunday as it goes around to all of the parishioners. That is what it is on the surface but the metaphysical message lesson beneath combines the two spiritual actions that are guaranteed to make any life experience thrive and grow. From relationships to material comfort, every area will benefit if you apply this simple principle, give and it shall be given to you in return.</p>
<p>As mentioned, I used to live in a fear based poverty consciousness. I wouldn’t give for fear that I wouldn’t have enough. I had no faith or trust and that is a pretty scary place to be. I felt as if the world was ready to snatch me up and spit me out. It was a miracle that I received the message of tithing and I went against my torment. I heard from the voice of spirit and was instructed to give and give some more. I listened and started seeking opportunities to give. Homeless women would start appearing visible to me and I would reach in my purse and give them my last dollar. I stopped thinking only of my fear of lack and began to practice faith. I trusted that I was going to get my needs met if I was willing to give where needed. I gave and gave and gave. I couldn’t give and be fearful and worried. That would defeat the purpose. So I was also practicing the action of release. This combined with faith catapulted me into a carefree state and I watched as everything in my life began to increase. My business began booming. My relationships blossomed. My health became robust. The more I gave, the more I received. This is not limited to money. You can give of yourself in time and energy too. Faith and release, when honestly attempted, have the power to change your entire life!</p>
<p>We are in frightening times now. The economy is shaky, unemployment high and life savings gone. In such a climate it is even more difficult to think of giving if you have very little. When I first learned this metaphysical truth about giving it was during the eighties and we were going through similar hard times. Life lessons usually present themselves in less than ideal circumstances. But these truly are the most powerful opportunities to put faith and release into action. Locate an area in your life that you would like to see thrive. Put resources there. Give of yourself, time and/ or money. Do so with abandon. It isn’t easy to receive if your door is closed. Open it by giving and see the treasures rush in.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-537" title="thanksgiving" src="http://neworleanspsychic.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/thanksgiving.jpg" alt="thanksgiving" width="133" height="83" />I love when November comes around. There is a nip in the air that makes you feel frisky. Football season is in full force and everyone is working their way into a new year. November also hosts one of my favorite holidays. I adore Thanksgiving! Feasting with loved ones while giving thanks for all of our many blessings is how I like to live everyday. In November they make it a holiday! So let’s get started opening ourselves to the power of the thankful heart.<span id="more-522"></span></p>
<p>Many years ago it was suggested to me, by a mentor and guide that I sit down and write a gratitude list. I was going through a particularly rough time and had lost my inner compass. My perception was askew and this gratitude list was supposed to change that. I was to write down all of the things in my life that I had to be thankful for and this was to cause a major psychic shift to occur in my inner and outer worlds. Little did I know when beginning this exercise that it was to truly be one of the most powerful experiences of my life.</p>
<p>At first I struggled to find things to be grateful for. I was feeling a bit sorry for myself and to find gratitude was tough. I persevered and began just writing the basics. I am glad I woke up that morning was sometimes the best I could do but I was diligent about this until my list grew long. Each day I would sit and write these blessings that were all around me. I have distilled it down to thirteen reasons and I will share these with you in hopes that you will connect these to the blessings in your world and incorporate an attitude of gratitude in living each day.</p>
<ol>
<li> <strong>Grateful      for being alive</strong> – each of us      is a unique creation who has been granted life to experience on the      physical plane. Life is good!</li>
<li> <strong>Grateful      for good health</strong> – every      breath that flows through my body and every beat of my heart sustains my      life force. If I am alive I can be thankful for health.</li>
<li> <strong>Grateful      for family here and in the here-after</strong> – I love, respect and honor my ancestry. Each one gave me a      gift. Their triumphs are mine. I sit upon their shoulders to continue to      victory.</li>
<li> <strong>Grateful      for friends here and in the here-after </strong>– God created friends to help us share our burdens. Friends keep      us wonderful company and help keep things real.</li>
<li> <strong>Grateful      for pets</strong> – How fortunate we      are to have the unconditional love and attention of our little furry      friends. The bond between pets and humans is one of the deepest and      kindest bonds possible.</li>
<li> <strong>Grateful      for community</strong> – I love my      city, neighbors and neighborhood. I feel connected to my space.      Participate with those around us.</li>
<li> <strong>Grateful      for the planet</strong> – The planet      sustains me and allows me to live. I am thankful that it supports our      existence. Nature is a gift.</li>
<li> <strong>Grateful      for comfort</strong> – My beautiful      home protects me. I feel comforted in my surrounds. I have food to eat and      a wonderful place to rest my head. I have nice clothes. All of my basic      needs are met.</li>
<li> <strong>Grateful      for career / life purpose</strong> – I      am working doing something that I love. I am paid well and my talents are      recognized. I am using my abilities in a productive way for myself and      others.</li>
<li> <strong>Grateful      for prosperity</strong> – I live in an      abundant world and partake in the process of giving and receiving. I am      open to receiving my highest good. There is plenty for all.</li>
<li> <strong>Grateful      for intelligence / intuition </strong>–      I am always learning. I am alert and aware and I pay attention to my      intuition.</li>
<li> <strong>Grateful      for personal growth</strong> – I am      wise. I am learning my life lessons with grace and maturity. I learn to      embrace change.</li>
<li> <strong>Grateful      for spirituality</strong> – I am      connected to the universe. I am growing in the image of God. With prayer      and meditation I live a full and meaningful life.</li>
</ol>
<p>These thirteen gratitudes can be expounded upon to include the many blessings in your life. My list is to serve as a guide to awakening the thankful heart within. You may have been able to identify with many things. You may feel that some of these gifts are missing from your life and you have a long way to go. Don’t be discouraged, even if you aren’t working doing what you love, say thank you in advance that you will. Even if you do not yet feel prosperous, affirm that you are and be definite about it. One of the ancillary benefits of a gratitude list is that the very act of gratitude causes you to be magnetized to your good. Each time you sit down and do this exercise you are creating a future filled with these gifts.</p>
<p>I must admit that I have become rather addicted to writing my gratitude list. I began it on faith the same way I am asking you to try it. After just a few short days I began to feel a bit more hopeful and positive about myself and my circumstances. As more time passed others noticed a glow about me. This was enough to have me continue the practice but there was even more. I discovered that the things that I was being grateful for improved. It was as if my writing was watering the garden of my dreams and all the good stuff started to grow. Even though it felt like fiction when I began it has become fact for me. My gratitude list has come true for me and I know that it will for you. The power of a thankful heart can make all dreams real.</p>
