Angels
Divine Companions: Angels And Spirit
Guides
Even when you feel as though you are completely alone, there are divine
companions who are always with you. Before your incarnation they chose to
accompany you through your lifetime, from the moment of your rst breath,
until your last. Spirit guides are highly evolved beings that have completed the
cycle of birth and death in the physical plane and are now serving as teachers
and guides to further elevate their vibrations. They are as “real” as you are, they
are just vibrating at another level and reside in another plane of existence.
They work to guide you by working through your dreams and intuition. That
quiet voice you hear is often the voice of your teachers and guides. They may
also make themselves known to you through signs and symbols. For me, when
hear certain songs. It is a reminder for me to be still and listen to the guidance
guides, one being a powerful Shaman and the others are from the angelic
realm.

Some individuals have one guide and others have multitudes, much of this
depends on the path and purpose of your life. For instance, a teacher/professor
may have several guides, one to guide them through the academic nature of
their profession and others to assist them with the great emotional
Spirit guides are almost never a loved one who has passed away. Although our
loved ones stay with us in spirit and we can contact them, they do not serve
the same role as a “spirit guide”. Some individuals have archangels and angels
as spirit guides who are always with them. Yet, the presence of angels does not
always mean they are your spirit guides. Angels can be called in times of
distress to assist you for a short time. If you have an archangel or angel as a
experience with being a psychic reader and spiritual teacher, I have found that
individuals with a challenging life path often have angels as spirit guides.

Your spirit guide is always with you, whether you acknowledge their presence
or not. You cannot call them to you or send them away, they are part of you
and your journey. However, you can choose to gain the knowledge of who they
are and what their role in your life is. You can interact with your spirit guides in
a more proactive way. If you want to know who your guides are, just ask. Get in
a quiet and meditative space and ask that they reveal themselves to you. Do
not get discouraged if you do not gure it out right away. Beings from the
spiritual realm often communicate through signs and symbols. Once you ask,
you must trust your own wisdom. Pay attention to the pictures that appear in
your mind. If you see a man in a suit, stay with that, it could be he is a
you may see nothing at all. Keep your mind and intuition open. Pay attention
to things that keep coming up after you have asked that they reveal who they
are. If you are having a challenge discovering who they are you can also

Working with your spirit guides can be an incredible tool for your own personal
and spiritual growth. Unlike beings who are in the physical, their wisdom and
advice is not in uenced by the “world”. They dwell in a higher vibrational plane
and the mundane particulars of your situation are not relevant. For example, if
you seek guidance from your spirit guide regarding a relationship, they will
lead you to focus on what you are learning, what you need to learn, what you
are teaching your partner, and what is the true meaning of your relationship.
The fact that they leave the toilet seat up or are terrible at budgeting the
household nances will be irrelevant. The information that you will be provided
with will be actions that YOU can take to gain more understanding. You can
also ask your spirit guides to assist you in physical healing. Before you go to

You are never alone. Never. Take faith in knowing and understanding that
there is so much magic and mystery in this life. Just for a moment let the

wash over you. Life is so much more than what we see. Open your spiritual
eyes and hearts and you will discover a world of wisdom, beauty and peace
that you never knew existed. Of course, you can always choose to not believe. It
is always your choice. But, why not? Why not step into another level of
existence? Why not believe in magic? You do not have to announce it to the

Asking an angel for help is one of our most powerful spiritual practices. We can
ask the angels for immediate help at any time and in any place. Here are some
1) Ask for help – Angels offer us help 24/7. The more receptive we are, the more
help they can give us. If you diminish your receptivity you limit the angels
ability to help you. Create your own invocations, or prayers, that speci cally call
for the help you need. Realize that when you call upon an angel, what really
happens is that you open yourself into greater receptivity to their assistance.
When asking for help, it’s important to realize yourself as fully worthy of angelic
beliefs. Angels are in nite and omnipresent, your request does not diminish
them in any way, nor does it affect their ability to help the rest of us at the
same time. They exist beyond our experience of time and space and respond to

2) Connect with your inner divine child as you call upon the angels and ask for
help. Your inner divine child is whole, innocent and true and recognizes angels
as trustworthy gifts of the Creator. This will help create openness, receptivity,
excitement, eagerness and wonder as you prepare to receive the gift your
3) Hand everything over to the angels when you ask for their help: every issue,
problem, worry and fear as well as every good intention and positive outcome
you imagine as the result of your request. Release all expectations of how your
and gratitude for things exactly as they are. If you are struggling with this, ask
the angels to help you to nd the love that is present in whatever dif culty you
are facing. Have patience with this and let go of any expectation of how this
5) Know that it is done. Every request is answered and help is always given. If
you fear that your request will not be answered, then also ask for help in
understanding. Trust that you will see the love in every answered prayer. You
are known completely and loved unconditionally by the angels and nothing
www.modernmysticcontent.com
© The Modern Mystic's Content Guidebook Vol. I
6) Act quickly on the guidance you receive. Accept the opportunity and act
upon it immediately. Angelic help is in nite and unlimited, you can not use it
up or run out of it. You cannot ask for “too much” and the angels are joyously
happy to give to you without limit. The faster you act, the faster you receive
more assistance!
7) Celebrate yourself exactly as you are in the moment. Leave any critical
judgments or negative feelings about yourself, your life, or others in the hands
of the angels for healing. Even if it is just for a few moments, let go of
everything that is not of love for yourself and everything around you. In this
moment of surrender much more can be done for you by the angels than you
can accomplish on your own. Thank yourself and the angels for deepening the
Hopefully this article gave you some helpful steps to connect more deeply with
your Angels for help and assistance. Remember, Angels will be at your side
with every step you take today. Angels are always with us and are eager to
help.

leaves, roots, owers, stems and bark. They hold the true essence of the plants
from which they originally came in high concentration. Though termed as oil,

Before you schedule a consultation or order charts and reports, you should
obtain a copy of your birth certi cate. If you do not have a birth certi cate, if
the time is not stated on yours, if you suspect your birth certi cate is in error, or
if you have only an estimated birth time, you can have your chart recti ed (see
next section).
But what about your birth certi cate? How accurate is it? It may not be as
accurate as you think. It's not hard to get the date and the place correct, but
birth times are an entirely different story. Since doctors and nurses are not
usually astrologers, they give little attention to the exact time of birth. For
example, they may round off an 8:38 birth time to 8:40 or 8:35. A doctor may ll
out the birth certi cate later on and use an estimated birth time that could be

Depending on where and when you were born, your birth certi cate may not
even have a space for the time of birth. Some people have no written birth
certi cates at all because they were born at home, or during times when birth
certi cates are or were not issued. Some parts of the United States have other
problems with birth certi cate times. For example, during certain years in the
state of Illinois, War Time, the precursor to our modern Daylight Savings Time,

operate on Standard Time. That means that if you happen to have been born in

Types Of Psychic Readings: Tarot,
Astrology, Numerology, Palm
Reading, Runes, Aura Reading
www.modernmysticcontent.com
© The Modern Mystic's Content Guidebook Vol. I
When you contact a psychic, you might be overwhelmed by the different types
of readings that they offer. Getting a general idea about the basics of each
reading will help make your session with a psychic much more enjoyable.
A tarot card reading is one of the most popular types of psychic readings.
During a tarot card reading, the psychic will ask you to focus your energy into
the cards. The cards that come out and the position that they fall in will both
affect your reading. The modern tarot cards that most psychics use are
arcana cards.
If you request an astrology reading, the psychic will use your date of birth to let
you know the direction that your life is headed in. This type of reading gains its
predictions from the placement of the planets and the stars. There are several
different types of astrology that an astrologer can use. These types include
psychic will use the numbers related to your date of birth to come up with a
number that can be associated with your type of personality. For example, a
person with the number seven is controlled by Neptune and has an idealistic
type of character.

A palm reading is another popular type of psychic reading. The psychic will be
able to look at a client's palms and tell a lot about their personality. They will
use the shape of the hands, the lines on the hands and the person's ngers to
give an accurate reading. The lines on the hand particularly show many
aspects of the person's personality and their future destiny. The life line tells the
length of your life, the head line provides insight into your type of personality
and the heart line can give clues about your love life. The other lines include
the fate line, health line, fame line, money line, marriage line, sex line, spirit
line, travel line and luck line. A palm reader can read the special markings on
these lines as well as garner meaning from the length and depth of the lines.
Rune readings are an additional service that a psychic may offer. Runes have
been around for thousands of years and have been shown to attain mystical
spread. There are different types of spreads including the traditional spread of
three that represents the past, present and future. The materials that the runes
are made out of affects the reading as well. Ceramic, stone, wood and gold
www.modernmysticcontent.com

An aura reading can also be conducted when you visit a psychic. This type of
aura is a color outline that emanates from the body and varies from person to
person. Auras can be different sizes, shapes and colors. A psychic that can read
auras can see or sense a person's aura and give their interpretation of it.
If you are looking for speci c advice or insight, you may wish to visit a psychic
that only specializes in one or two areas. Some of the readings must be
conducted face to face, but most can be distant readings that are done
virtually or over the phone. Whichever type of psychic reading you choose, you
will be amazed at the insightful things that a psychic can tell you about your
life.

below:
Traf c: If you live in a city with frequent traf c reports try to guess which roads are bad and
why. This works even better if you have two routes to get home, each with an equal chance
of having delays. You can guess which roads to use to get home faster, and then check
Google Maps. (It is not helpful if one road is always bad, because then logic takes over.)
Shopping: Without checking the internet try to guess what you are going to pay for
something and where the best place to buy it is. Afterwards check out the facts.
Parking: Try to let your intuition guide you to the best parking space. This is particularly
Telephone: See if you know it on the telephone before you look at the caller ID.
Sports: Without knowing anything about the game or the teams try to guess who will win
and what the scores will be. Then check out the results.

The trick is to nd something you care about, or something you cannot know
for sure based on past knowledge and experience and you can get feedback
on. Then pay attention to the difference in feelings between that which proved
to be right and that which proved to be wrong. Take notice if you have ignored
your intuition and see if you later regret not acting upon it, be aware of how
that information came to you so that next time it happens, you do not ignore it.

The more you trust your intuition, the more information you will receive. This
‘knowing’ will become more and more de nite and you will want to pass this
information on. If you believe you have information for someone, be ethical.
There are stories of many psychics who have been said to lose their powers
because they abuse their gift. It is impossible to say how true this is, however, if
you do not lose your abilities, you certainly run the risk of other dif culties.

The issue is not whether you are hearing voices, but what those voices are
saying. There is a rule, if the voices are helping you then it does not matter,
whether those voices are a part of your unconscious mind or spirits, it is alright
hurting you, then it is time to lose the source they are coming from.
The hard thing you need to learn is what not to say. You can receive a lot of

invisible energy body surrounding our physical body. In this energy body are
layers. Each layer has different functions and each layer is associated with a
different chakra and each chakra and layer both have an effect on areas of the
physical body. The chakras and acupuncture points are openings for energy to

Sometimes life experiences shatter our trust in ourselves. Perhaps you can

best decision we can. Ask any successful entrepreneur about her process of
decision making. She will probably tell you she weighed all the pros and cons
and tried to anticipate any problems. She might have looked to the experts for
helpful insight. In the end, she made the most informed decision she could. If
you ask her if all her decisions were the right ones, she will tell you no. Life
changes; people change. Just because something doesn’t work out the way
you wanted does not mean you cannot trust yourself in the future.

Trusting yourself is essential to loving yourself. You know yourself better than
anyone and no one is going to take care of you except you. Until you trust
yourself, you will not be able to fully trust anyone. When you don’t trust
yourself, you will seek guidance from everyone else. Your life will be outer-
focused, and people will make decisions about your life for you.
Make your personal decisions based on what’s most important to you and
what works best for you. You can ask other people’s opinions as long as you are
willing to pay most attention to your feelings. If you are unsure of yourself, take
the time to really listen to your gut. If you have a relationship with a Higher
Power, spend time in prayer or meditation and ask that the truth be revealed
to you.
A lot of us questioned how we know if we’re right? In other words, how can we
know for sure if we can trust ourselves? You don’t know for sure unless you test
it out. We were instructed as Spiritual Coaches to blurt out what our intuition
was telling us, and then wait to see how the client responds. The more we test
our intuition and discover that it’s telling the truth, the more we begin to trust
ourselves.

So try some experiments. The next time you feel confused about a decision,
pay attention to your gut-level reaction. Don’t rationalize or talk yourself out of
your feelings. Go with it and see how it turns out. You can even make a list of
times you trust your intuition and things go well. The more you practice
trusting yourself, the easier it will become. If you trust yourself and nd out

More nature: Spending time in nature, away from technology, is one of the
best ways to quiet the mind. Nature is a great way for us to get in tune with
our ancestral self and our celestial intuition. This is where we come from, our
ancestors relied on their intuition for everything. For nding food, avoiding
predators, nding the right path, intuition was one of the most important
opportunity to dip our toe in another world, a world where intuition rules.
Get creative: Do something creative! Paint, draw, build, sketch, anything that
elevates your creative mind. When we are young, our inner voice is loud and
not hesitant to shine through. As we get older that inner voice is pushed down
with responsibilities and the stresses of life. Tapping into this creative part of
our brain can help re-ignite those pathways and amplify our intuitions.

Follow your hunches: A sure re way to develop your intuition is to test out
your hunches. When you are going about your daily life, keep a journal and
write down every time you have a hunch. When that little voice chimes in, be
sure to write it down, so you can record and see how these hunches play out. It
can be as simple as seeing the weather reporting rain for tomorrow, but you

Switch up your daily routine: The conscious brain loves routine and order, but
the more regimented your life is, the further your inner voice is pushed down.
When the mind is busy it can be especially hard to hear that little voice.
Switching things up can throw your cognitive brain for a loop, and let your

Law of Attraction
How To Practice The Law Of
Attraction Everyday
The Law of Attraction is all about aligning your thoughts and actions into what
you want to happen in your life. It practices the success principle of ‘what you
think about, you bring about’. This success strategy really gained prominence
thanks to the movie The Secret, which had its ‘world premiere’ in March 2006.
Since then, millions of people all over the globe have applied the universal Law
of Attraction into their daily lives and proclaim that their lives have been better
ever since. So, should you be practicing the Law of Attraction as well?
One of the great things about the universal Law of Attraction is that its tenets
are not hard to put into practice at all! In fact, many people say that the biggest
secret in the movie The Secret, is that its doctrines are not classi ed at all! The
underlying principles of the Law of Attraction have been with us, ready to be
practiced, all this time. So why then have we abandoned these steps to
success?

Life happened and somehow, somewhere, people started believing that they
do not deserve happiness. As such, people wake up afraid to expect the best
and prepare for the worse. Do you see that this is still the Law of Attraction
working? By THINKING that the worst will happen, people are bringing about
problems to themselves. So kick the habit! Expect the best and the best will
happen to you.
Here are some simple tips so you can start living the Law of Attraction and
Practice the attitude of gratitude the minute you wake up. Nothing can be a

Pay it forward. The universe is not all about you. The Law of Attraction is based
on the universal law of cause and effect and nothing can be more positively

save lives, but simple things such as helping an elderly cross the street or
helping direct someone who’s lost can do wonders on two levels: First, you

happiness and success, the way you live, dress and act is the true measure. So
synchronize your intentions and your actions. For instance, if you want that
better-paying job, don’t just wish for it; act on it! Prepare a knock-out resume,

. Meditate at least 10-20 minutes everyday on a regular basis. This will help you greatly to
improve your condition. You still may need the help of a professional therapist or doctor
but your daily meditations are valuable. If you have children or other family members that
need your attention you want to do this exercise when things are quiet so that you can
truly be still and relax. Make this your time out from a busy and stressful day.

. When meditating you can do the following exercise: Close your eyes and picture yourself
sitting in a large room all by yourself in total darkness. Hold this mental picture for about
20 seconds. After the 20 seconds are over imagine yourself sitting in the same room with
bright and warm lights shining on you. After that, go back in your mind to the same room
with all the lights out. This exercise will enhance the understanding of your inner self.
Getting to know your inner person will help you to understand yourself. It will also help you
to listen to yourself and become more intuitive. It may be dif cult at rst for you to
meditate regularly especially if you did not do meditations before. You still want to make it
part of your daily routine. Meditation is essential for good mental and physical health.
. To help with your anxieties you can also think about some great af rmations to help you
along. Here are some suggestions of what you could say when doing af rmations: I am
living in a paradise and I have peace all around. I am feeling great and I love my life. You
need to say these af rmations in the present tense. This may feel like a lie at rst, when
you are feeling quite to the contrary. The Law of Attraction helps us to understand that the
universe, however, will only respond to your feelings, not to the spoken language.
Af rmations will help you to train your subconscious mind to be in harmony with the way
you want to feel. When using the Law of Attraction to get rid of anxieties both meditation
and af rmations are important. This will be a great stepping stone into your future free

Writing your own spells is what every practicing Witch aspires to. The ability to
craft your own spells gives you an advantage over “ready made” spells you can
nd in other places. This is because you will be putting your own emotion and
energy into the spell. Through the process of its unique creation it will be
special and meaningful to you, and that is the secret of casting successful
spells.
If you want to learn black magic, all of the following holds true. The ingredients

How To Manifest Your Dreams And
Desires
What are your dreams?
Are you in a place in your life where part of it feels limiting or exhausting? If so,
it is the time for you to begin manifesting your dreams and desires. First of all,
you must remember that Miracles do happen and that it is time to reach for
the top. Not to put others down, but to ask for what it is that you really desire.
Go for the top. Go for the limitlessness. Show your fellow beings that through
the process of releasing limited thoughts your cup is lled with the
opportunities that the universe wants to bring to you. By daring to do this, you
are teaching what you know. You have taken the courage to release. Now you
must take the even greater courage to command and receive what you wish.
You must stay in touch with the fact that you are in actuality manifesting every

For some on the spiritual path, an inner understanding of divine soul purpose
emerges relatively early in the spiritual journey, guiding and supporting them
in the directions needed for optimal growth and manifestation of their life's

For others, knowledge of divine soul purpose eludes the human embodied self
for quite a long time, necessitating a period of “walking in the desert” with little
outward or even inward support that can be perceived. This period of seeking

. Find A Quiet Corner To Start Your Meditation. Distraction is a hindrance to those who are
still starting out with meditation. When you close your eyes, your sense of hearing will be
twice as good, so almost any noise in your surroundings will make it hard for you to
concentrate. For beginners, it is important to start out in a quiet place in your home where
noise is non-existent. Close your windows and lock your door. If possible, you can tell
everyone in your home to minimize their noise so that you won’t get distracted.
. Ready Your Position. It is advisable for beginners to avoid lying down when practicing
meditation. The aim here is not to sleep, and it is likely that you will fall asleep if your mind
reaches a relaxed state. To stop this from happening, you can start your meditation in a
lotus position or you can nd a chair you can sit on. Make sure that your back is straight

. Begin Your Meditation With Proper Breathing. A good way to start meditation is to do the
proper breathing exercise. You inhale through your nose and exhale through your mouth.
This way, you can come up with a rhythm that you can easily focus on. Also, the amount of
oxygen in your body will help to keep you relaxed. Keep practicing your breathing until you
. Focus On Your Mind. While you are concentrating on your breathing, you will achieve a
state wherein your mind will start throwing images at you. These are mostly random-
events of the day, future plans, problems and worries, fears and so on. It will be hard to
ignore these thoughts and you are not supposed to ignore them. The gist here is to
acknowledge these thoughts when they enter your mind and then release them. This
might sound hard but here is a simple example to understand the concept. You know that
you have furniture at home- you can see it clearly with your eyes, but you are not really
concentrating on it. Focusing on the furniture will usually make you think of its color, its
material, how it looks in that part of your home, and more. You need to be able to look at
these random thoughts in a detached state, seeing them clearly in your head but not
focusing your attention on it. There will come a time that these random thoughts will stop
and you will notice that you are already in a blank space in your mind. This is the state you
want to achieve during meditation. This is the place where you can think about your
problems and focus on it till you can nd a solution for it. With this, you have successfully

Meditation rooms are not always rooms per se, oftentimes, they are just

meditation room which you can use as a place just to sit back and get away
from the fast-paced and stressful daily life that most of us live. Your meditation
room can be your own hideaway, where you can breathe freely and gather
your thoughts together. Here are three simple steps to help you create your

that a meditation room must have. No matter how small your home is, it is possible to
have a meditation room where you can have a bit of peaceful respite. Just nd a place to
set it up that is a little out of the way in your home. You can situate your meditation room
in your own bedroom if you want. In fact, any corner that can be made secluded will do. All
you need to do, if your meditation room is not a separate room in itself, is to partition it
creatively so you would not be bothered if you are inside your nook.
. Furnish the Meditation Room: A meditation room does not require much in terms of
furnishings. The most essential piece of furniture is a comfortable chair that is wide
enough for you to curl your legs in. And even with that, a chair is not that necessary. If
space is a problem, a cushion can serve in its place instead. A bluetooth speaker or some
other device to play music may be necessary. It helps a lot to meditate while listening to

You do not have to decorate the walls. If you are going to paint the walls a
neutral color will work best. You do not need anything that can distract you
from your meditation. To set and enhance the mood, however, you can put up
shelves where you can place some scented candles or a vase of owers or
perhaps some crystals. A potted plant can help set the mood, too. These are all
the decorations you can consider when setting up your meditation room.
. Maintain the Meditation Room: Your meditation room is ideally the one place in your
house, if not in the whole world, where you can get away to relax and to clear your mind of
anything that is bothering you. The one thing that will defeat this purpose is if you leave
clutter in your meditation room.No matter how busy you may be with your daily life,

While people are usually able to cope with stress, sometimes the burden
simply becomes too much that people break down because of it.
In the General Adaptation Syndrome model designed by Hans Selye, there are
three stages that people undergo when stressed. During the rst stage, the
body goes on a state of alarm at the realization of a threat. In this stage, cortisol
is released by the body. The second stage is where the body becomes unable
to cope with the strain until its resources are depleted. Finally, the body breaks
down, which includes the exhaustion of the immune system. Because of this,
the body is unable to ght off sicknesses which then expose the person to
illnesses.

Aligning With The Moon Cycle

For thousands of years, humans have looked to the moon and its cycles for guidance.
There are four main moon phases in every cycle and you can use these cycles to help guide
The beginning of the lunar month is what is referred to as the New Moon. This is the time
of new beginnings. Use this phase to set new goals and intentions. This is a wonderful time
The second phase is known as the Waning Phase. This is the period of growth during the
moon cycle. This is where you can start to harness some momentum in your actions.
Next comes the Waning Phase. This phase can be a restorative time to start integrating
the new lessons you’ve learned and the experiences you’ve had into your psyche.
Finally comes the Dark Moon phase. In the days before the New Moon, this cycle takes
place. It is a time for rest and re ection as you prepare for the New Moon ahead.
I hope you nd this simple explanation of the moon’s cycles helpful. When it comes down
to it, we are all a part of the universe and we are all interconnected. When we can
acknowledge this fact and work to align ourselves with the Universe’s natural cycles we
can achieve higher vibrations and levels of awareness in ourselves and others.

two people, such as in a relationship. Numerology reports often tell about the
numbers, as well as be able to add and interpret the meanings behind the
results of their work. Numerology reports are often long and take quite a bit of
time to nish. Reports are often based upon the name and date of birth of a
person. The name and date of birth are broken down into various equations

There are 4 steps involved in this calculation. An example of a birth number is:
November 19 1966. We make all the digits into a single digit by adding it, till it
becomes a singular digit. The month November is 11 thus 1+1=2. The date 19 will

Thus we have 3 sets of single digits from your birthdate. They are 2, 1 and 4.
Write the digits in order of month, date and year. Now, subtract the month
from the date, using the above example so 2-1= 1. We will call this calculation
‘A’. Next, subtract the date from the year (1-4 = 3) and write it down. We will call
this ‘B’. Then Subtract A (1) from B(3), that is 1-3 = 2, We will call this next
number ‘C’. Finally subtract the month and the year, and write it below C. So 2

This is the classi cation used in Chinese palmistry. It comes from Fred Gettings
monumental book, The Book of the Hand. The four types are named after the
four elements of the ancients: Fire, Earth, Air and Water. These relate very well
to the descriptions of the Fire, Earth, Air and Water signs of astrology, but it
does not necessarily mean that a Sagittarian (a Fire sign), would have a Fire
hand. You'll nd people with all four types of hands in every sign of the Zodiac.
Fire Hands- Fire is hot, energizing and constantly moving. It can provide gentle
heat, but can also burn. Consequently it needs careful handling. A Fire hand is
oblong with short ngers. Someone with a hand like this is likely to be
emotional, enthusiastic and creative. The short ngers mean a dislike for detail.
The long palm adds intuition. For someone with a hand like this you might say:
You have a great mind, full of wonderful ideas. These ideas excite you. Your
enthusiasm may not last for long, but it's extremely important to you at the
time. Your emotions can be a bit hard to handle at times, but they enable you
to experience life to the fullest. Details are not your strong point and you tend

other upheavals. The Earth hand is very like the practical hand. It consists of a
square palm and short ngers. People with this type of hand are reliable,
down-to-earth and practical. They enjoy repetitive work and are good with
their hands. They enjoy rhythm. They are conservative, reserved, and
possessive.
However, like earth itself, they can also react violently if they deem it
necessary.
You might say to someone with Earth hands: You're a hard worker. You enjoy
physical challenges and your hands can think for themselves. You can be
stubborn at times, and you don't easily change your mind. You enjoy rhythm

Palmistry is based on reading the lines on the hand. Palmists say that by
reading the lines of a person's hand, it is quite possible to tell about the
person's past, present and future. They say that positioning of the lines in the
hand is the key to determining the subject’s past, present, and future. The
basics of Palmistry are said to be quite simple as opposed to the popular belief
that it is something mysterious. The eshy part of the hand and the structure of
the ngers reveal a lot about the subject. Palmists claim that predictions
through Palmistry have scienti c basis, even though the scientists worldwide
have their own opinion regarding this topic. Scientists claim that Palmistry
does not have any scienti c basis. According to the Palmists, the dominant
hand of a person reveals the current and future trends. On the other hand, the
passive hand reveals the person's childhood. Palmists see a de nite pattern in
the lines on the palm. These lines have been classi ed into the heart line, head
line, life line, fate line etc. Each of these lines will interpret different aspects of
one's life.

The limits to Reiki seem to be in the recipient's willingness to cast off old habits

to greater wholeness. Over time, the healing of the world's ills will be

method is crystal healing, where crystals or crystal bowls are used to create
sounds of healing and relaxation. The crystalline sounds carry Reiki energy

1. Block out time for self-care in your schedule. It’s not enough to
occasionally stop your busy lifestyle and take a walk or indulge in a hot bath.
Self-care is an ongoing process. Just as you reserve time in your schedule for
other appointments, set aside time to take care of yourself, too. It’s important
to adopt self-care habits that you can enjoy on a regular basis. They’ll help you
avoid burnout, increase your productivity, and allow you to enjoy life.
2. Enjoy your favorite hobby. Whether you love to experiment with new
recipes in the kitchen or paint pictures of sunsets, your favorite hobbies can be
part of self-care. Hobbies and activities that you already enjoy are easy to
select and put into practice. You just have to nd room in your schedule to do
3. Make note of the compliments you receive. You can enjoy this self-care
practice even as you work or run errands! Start taking notes of the
compliments you receive. You can keep them in a journal, diary, or online
folder. Your compliment folder can also include emails, notes, thank you cards,
and other things that make you smile. This self-care practice can help you ght
negative thoughts. Compliments can serve as reminders that you matter, your

4. Remove clutter. Whether you decide to declutter your closet or clean out
the fridge, removing clutter will uplift you. Clutter can drain you physically and
mentally. It can also make you unhappy as you try to move through your day.
Eliminate the things that no longer serve you. For example, if you’re keeping
clothes in your closet that you hate each time you open the door, replace them
5. Do one sel sh act. Living sel shly all day isn’t recommended, but doing
one sel sh act that makes you happy can do wonders. You can enjoy just that
one thing without feeling guilty about it! If you struggle with self-care, it’s often
because you spend all of your energy and time taking care of others. There’s
nothing left in your well for yourself. By taking the time to do one sel sh act,
such as reading your favorite book or ignoring a boring phone call, you’ll be

Alignment And Authenticity
Have you ever felt as if you are beating your head against a wall? You
repeatedly try to reach a goal but you never seem to achieve it. Instead you are
struggling rather than moving forward and achieving your goals with grace
and ease.
You are not alone. The struggle to move from what we don’t want to what we
it or not, it is very common for people to struggle against what they want and
www.modernmysticcontent.com
© The Modern Mystic's Content Guidebook Vol. I
In order to have what you want, you must be willing to end the struggle and
move into action. Your success is dependent on your ability to reach your goals
and achieve.
The easiest way to move from “stuck” into action without struggle is to be
that you are connected to your core and that your desires are a true re ection
Alignment means that your entire being is in agreement with the goal you
want to achieve. For example, you come home from work one evening and you
are very tired. But this evening is your workout night. You sit on the couch and
actually have to talk yourself into getting into your gym clothes and heading

To end struggle and successfully achieve goals, all parts of you must work
together for manifestation. That means all bodies- mental, physical, emotional
can use to do an authenticity check concerning your goals and bring yourself
Step One: Sit quietly. Create a peaceful, serene and nurturing space for
yourself. It must be a space where you feel comfortable and secure. Spend
several minutes in quiet and inner re ection upon your goal. Have paper and
pen handy.
Step Two: The authenticity check. Ask within if this goal is the appropriate goal
for you to achieve at this time. If the answer is yes, skip to the next step. If the
answer is no, ask what a more appropriate goal would be for you right now.
By asking this question, you move from being ruled by the needs of the mind
(survival issues) and begin to access the soul within. You leave behind the petty
desires of the ego and move into realizing the desires of the soul. As a result,

Write down the response you receive. If you need additional clarity concerning
the response, ask for it. Keep asking within until you feel complete.
Step Three: Alignment. Once you have a de ned and authentic goal, it is time
to create alignment. Remain in your space of quiet and comfort; ask to speak
to your mental body. (You will repeat step three with each of the bodies) Ask
your mental body if it is willing to be in alignment with your goal. The purpose
of this question is to uncover any blocks or limitations that reside in the mental
body concerning the goal. If the answer is yes, proceed to the next body:
If the answer is no, simply begin a conversation with this part of you. Some
questions to begin with are: Why are you not willing to be in alignment with

in both worlds. As you learn how to do this, you’ll teach others how to do this

when, in fact, no one is speaking and nothing physical is causing the sounds. The sounds
are thought to be impressions that register themselves on the spirillae of the ear’s pineal

hearing does, passing through the Third Eye chakra of the head.

comes from within the body, down the kundalini to the stomach area or solar plexus. The
stomach area is one of the strongest communication centers that Guides frequently use to
communicate.
. Clairvoyance. Clairvoyance means to see into an ethereal dimension without using physical
eyes. Some describe it as reaching into another vibration frequency and visually perceive
“within the head” something like moving pictures. The third eye area of the forehead is
one of the other strongest communication centers that Guides frequently use to
communicate.
Since this article is focused on the “belly energies” and psychic abilities, we will
narrow our focus to the area of the clairsentience. In his historic writings of
“Psychic Science,” Sir Oliver Lodge spoke about what he called “clairvoyance or
lucidity” and raised the older concepts that were coined as “reading with the
pit of the stomach.” According to Lodge, using the stomach or belly area as the

beliefs about the belly. The Chinese called this belly chakra the “chi point,”
while the Japanese termed it the “hara” or “ki point.” As the body’s balancing
chakra, this area is located one and a half inches below the navel and one and
a half inches inward toward the spine. It is the “energy” that the body

In writing this article, I spoke with world renowned psychic and author Jane
relates to Sir Oliver Lodge’s concept of “reading with the pit of the stomach.”
Whenever there are ghosts around Jane Doherty, she has an amazing physical
reaction to them. The reaction Jane has is that her stomach area actually
enlarges by as much as six inches around within seconds. And, Jane tells us
that it is extremely painful to her when this happens. If you watch Jane while
her stomach expansion is happening, you are going to hear her moaning and
see her wincing and trust me, it is not dramatic. Jane is in de nite pain.
With regards to her expanding tummy, Jane says, It feels like a contraction
when a woman is in labor, but it doesn’t ever release me until the spirit
leaves. Instead, the stomach expands as if I was nine months pregnant. Jane
actually describes it as very intense muscle cramps, where her stomach is
physically gripped by the ghost, and if you watch, the belly will actually lift up.
Jane continues, Often I can tell by the grip whether it is a female, male or child

Intuition And Tarot Reading
You don't have to be psychic to use Tarot cards. You do need, however, to be in
tune with your intuition. Our intuitions are our natural ability to instinctively
sense things in the world around us. Intuition has nothing to do with our
particular situation. Intuition lets us know when something is wrong when all
appears right. For example, there are times when we may meet someone who
appears wonderful to everyone but we still may feel something is not right
with that person. We may not be able to put our nger on it but we know
something isn't quite as it should be. That is our intuition warning us. What
happens in a case like this is that although we will act friendly outwardly

Some people are naturally intuitive and even psychic while others have to
work a little harder to get the same sense of what's going on. When you buy a
box of tarot cards they are not “magic” in and of themselves. It's the reader's
energy that is imparted into the cards that makes them effective for the
reader. The person's connection to the symbolism on the cards is what creates
the magic. It is the symbolism that opens the person's intuition in relation to
the card. This is because each picture creates a feeling in the person that is in
energy or blocks that they may have accumulated. When you clear a deck of
tarot cards for the rst time you are also putting your own energy into the
deck. There are many ways one can clear a deck. It's a matter of preference for
the reader.

It is suggested that when one gets a new deck of tarot cards that they are
spiritually prepared and cleansed. This is so you can read more accurately.
Negative energy and blocks can impede the clarity of a reading. When you
clear a tarot deck you are preparing them for use. In addition to clearing the
tarot cards, many readers also cleanse the space and objects they use in
conducting readings. The room you read in, the table you use, and any other
things related to the reader and the cards can be cleansed prior to a reading.
The idea is that spiritually clean cards and space give a clear reading free of
the negative or blocking debris that collects naturally. This includes energy
from other people and things like unwanted energy. Clean energy portends
positivity. And you want positivity when you are doing a reading.

All types of divination require some sort of energy in order to conduct the
reading. Clearing the cards and space eliminates the spiritual residue that the
energy builds. This helps reduce the possibility of inaccurate and false readings
clouded by that debris. This is especially true for those readers who let their
clients touch the cards. When someone touches a reader's cards; their cards
are then picking up other people's energy, physically and psychically. In that
case, you don't want the next reading to have the last person's energy attached
to it. Clearing your tarot deck and space is like giving them fresh air to
breathe. You have to breathe fresh air yourself and so do the cards and your
space to help you to give you the best reading you can give.

Tarot cards can be used as a tool for psychics to link in with spirits and guides,
to offer guidance that may relate to past, present and occasionally, the future.
Tarot cards can be laid out in various ways and include any number of cards
drawn. Some psychics may even use a combination of 2-3 tarot decks.
Ultimately, the messages and guidance offered will be of meaning and truth,
All tarot cards come with meanings and some people may only use this way of
giving readings. Some psychics however, will throw away the books
accompanying the tarot cards, and use only links with spirit to give messages.
The duration of tarot psychic readings given will vary. However long or short
the readings may be, the messages given will be honest and give meaning

lengthen readings. When tools such as tarot are used, they are read using
mediumistic and spiritual direction (intuition). This means that cards will be
read on an individual basis for each person. For example, a person may choose
three cards from the deck. E.g. Three of Swords, The Tower, The Priestess. The
psychic/medium will then give their messages and guidance to this person. A
second person can shuf e this same deck of tarot cards, and pull out these

There are so many tarot card spreads available to use for reading Tarot cards. In
order to read the cards effectively you have to be familiar with their meanings
and how you relate to them when they are in a spread. Once you get
accustomed to each card on its own, you are ready to start learning how to
read them in a spread. Most Tarot Card readers are familiar with the Celtic
Cross Spread, but a three card basic spread is a good way to learn how to read
Even before you start to use a three card spread; there is a good exercise you
can do daily. Its purpose is to familiarize yourself with the cards and the idea of
reading them. It is easy to do and will strengthen your abilities when it comes
What you do is you shuf e your cards and pull one a day to see what your day
will be like. Based on the card you pull you give yourself a reading with that
card. Analyze what that card will mean to you that day. This is an excellent way
to get familiar with the cards and their meanings. It also helps you develop
your sense of intuition which is also very important for reading the Tarot Deck.
Now that you know that, let's move on to the Three Card Spread.
