The Psychics' World
Take a closer look into the realm of the psychic — the beliefs, the skills and the tools that are used to perceive the energy of the invisible world about us and to interpret what it may mean for you.
Different Journeys
December 2005
ANY people believe that we are all born with our own pre–determined purpose in life, a road we are guided to walk, a journey we are meant to take.
And as we grow spiritually through our lives we learn lessons from our experiences and thoughts which enable us to move forward.
Psychics Connect readers help people to understand situations they find themselves in and to look within themselves continueto find solutions to something that may be blocking their growth. Christine believes that we are all here to “learn and grow”. “Many people do not understand that they are on a spiritual path. We all are, whether we realise it or not. We are here to grow as souls,” she says. But we don’t all have the same lessons to learn. And there is a difficulty in judging someone else’s actions as ‘wrong’ or inappropriate just because they are different from our own. A course of action which is right for one person may be wrong for another who is on a different path and has their own lessons to learn. In her readings Janet works to empower her clients. “I won’t take their power away by making their decisions for them. “I always seek to keep a person’s destiny in their own hands all the time. Life is hard enough without feeling that your life is at the mercy of another person. Kate too tries to help her clients to look within themselves for answers. “This helps them to realise that life is one long journey of learning lessons,” she says. “If we don’t learn the lesson the first time it is presented to us, then the same situation will come round again and again until we finally do. Psychics will not only help us to look inward to seek our true purpose in life, but will assist us in making contact with spirit guides and our angels who can give us guidance and understanding. “Spirit will not normally tell you what it is you should have learned, but they will give you clues,” says Susan. “They will let you know where you should be looking.” Brigid tells her clients that there is a part of us that is actually developing spiritually in its own way anyway, even if we are not aware of it. “If the person can acknowledge their guardian angel and try to combine that into their life a little more, they are on the right road,” she says. “To me, psychics are about helping people to move forward. Our true work is about shifting people’s consciousness.” Carol Ann says that we are all at different stages of development on our spiritual journey.”In a reading, spirit will let me see where a particular person is and knows just how much information they need at that time. I will be told what to give them.” But we all already know the answers to our questions, says Peta. "We just need to look within and have courage to face ourselves and do what we know is right for ourselves, no matter what." ..hide
Staying Positive
November 2005
UST over a hundred years ago an Englishman named James Allen wrote a book called ‘As a Man Thinketh’, which distilled his lifetime’s research into the philosophy of our existence, our ‘being’.
Allen made the profound statement that our life and experiences are not so much created by our own actions and events in the outside world, but almost solely by what continuewe think. We alone create, and are entirely responsible for, what happens to us, he said. Although he was by no means the first to put forward such beliefs, Allen’s book tapped public awareness of a different ‘religion’, a new way of looking at life. Since then, many people have followed similar research, coming to similar conclusions. One of the most notable was Napoleon Hill who, over a twenty year period, interviewed virtually every great corporate magnate and multi–millionaire in the United States to try to find out exactly what they had in common, what it was that made them so successful. His book ‘Think and Grow Rich’ comes to a similar conclusion as Allen’s: that it is our thoughts that create our lives. Today, many millions of people believe that how we think directly affects our lives. It is believed that every thought that enters our mind, however briefly, sets up a vibration that goes out into the universe where it attracts to itself, and to us similar vibrations — what you put out, you get back. So if we are depressed and go around thinking negative and depressed thoughts, we will get back more of the same and that’s what we will experience. Psychics Connect readers will encourage their clients to keep away from negative thoughts and feelings. “Many people view themselves negatively,” says Mary–Lyn. “But it’s like a reverse image. It’s not them. When they look in the mirror and think a negative thought, it will bounce back at them and create a negative emotion in them “A lot of this is about self–esteem. So when I see signs of illusion I tell them to try to avoid thinking negative thoughts about themselves when looking in a mirror and not to make negative judgements about themselves which are not true.” So if we think loving happy thoughts all the time, we are more likely to have loving, happy experiences. “It all depends on how you look at life,” says Janet. “If you’re expecting the worst, then the worst will land at your door. “If you wake up expecting a good day, you’ll start to notice the good things and count your blessings.” Many people believe that once our subconscious has accepted a thought as fact, it sets about creating the reality for us. In other words, if you think strongly enough that something you want in your life already exists, that thought will imprint itself on your subconscious which will then set about making it happen for you in reality. Carol believes that we all have the power to create life the way we want it to be. “Should you choose to extend the energy you can create the life you want. Fate is what happens to people when they stop trying.” Of course, asking yourself to think nothing but happy thoughts in today’s world is a tall order. But you can change your mind, change the way you think. It does take conscious effort at first. But with a little practice, you’ll be amazed at how you can change things in your life, just by staying positive. ..hide
A Light in the Shadows
October 2005
NSIDE every one of us there are sides to our personality that we don’t like, that linger in the shadows of our character no matter how much we try to get rid of them. Many of us deny that they are there at all.
But what is in your shadow blocks or stops you from moving forward, according to Psychics Connect reader Peta.
“If we allow it to, our shadow is that side of us that continuesabotages our relationships, destroys and denies us our aspirations in life, and chains our destiny and dreams,” she says. “It is that thing that we don’t look at for fear that we might see its grotesque and ugly face in ours. It’s that side that we deny about ourselves and that which we project on to others.” Peta believes that the only way to learn about your shadow is to confront it by drawing into your life those events which keep repeating themselves. “Is there a certain person you keep meeting that repulses you or makes you angry? Do you keep falling in and out of 'bad' relationships? Do you keep losing jobs for the same reasons each time? Those are tell–tale signs that there things in your shadow that you need to do something about. “What we see in others that we find repulsive or makes us angry are our own projections and is really what repulses us about ourselves but which we are unable to accept. “When we’re angry or reacting to someone it means that we’re seeing our own shadows in the other person. We are acknowledging in them that which we don’t like about ourselves. If we can become aware of this process, it is the only way we can truly identify our shadow selves. “One way to deal with this anger is to look on it as an opportunity to heal yourself and unite your shadow self with your light self to become your authentic self.” Doreen Virtue, creator of Angel Therapy says that the angels say that whenever we become annoyed or angry with someone we should use this affirmation: ‘I am willing to set free that part of me, which irritates me, when I think of you.’ “We all know the answers,” says Peta. “We just need to look within and have courage to face ourselves and do what we know is right for ourselves, no matter what.” ..hide
Ask the Angels
September 2005
ANY people in the shock of a sudden crisis or life–threatening situation have reported seeing an angel appear in front of them to help and protect them. A great many people believe that angels do exist but have never seen or felt the presence of one.
And yet they are around us all, say psychics. Many Psychics Connect readers are guided by angels in their readings.
“I call on continuemy angels to help to heal situations in people’s lives and in their family’s lives,” says Katie. “When people ring up in need of spiritual help I try to help them to see that we all have angels and they walk through life with us. They give us comfort. They will come to us in our thoughts and in our dreams and they will help us to move forward. But they won’t come into our lives unless we ask them.” Karitas too believes that we actually have to sit down and ask the angels to come in and help us. “They want us to connect, to acknowledge them, to know that they are there,” she says. “To feel their energy around you is a most wonderful experience.” Karitas says that angels can work magic for us. “Spirit helps us by guiding us, telling us what is coming in, but they cannot really make changes to your life. “When you connect with angels and talk to your angel — we’ve all got one — they can actually make things change. They can make that magic, make our dreams come true.” Carolyne will also help people towards being able to make contact with their own angels. “The answer is often as simple as finding a quiet time each day just to sit and maybe light a candle and ask,” she says. “It’s often just about asking that energy to come in and being willing to receive it. “It doesn’t have to be a big process with lots of paraphernalia. It’s very simple really. “People sometimes don’t realise that. They think it is going to be very complicated and difficult, when really it is just about being open and willing and trusting. “If they were to trust the smallest impression that comes in they would realise that they actually are listening — listening to their intuition. “And that is a good way to start their journey. It is a very personal journey.” For guidance on making contact with your guardian angel, call Psychics Connect. Our psychics will be happy to help you. ..hide
Message from the Spirit Guides
August 2005
ANY psychics work with spirit guides to pass on messages about a person’s life. Spirit guides have been defined as the spirits of people who have passed on and many of Psychics Connect’s Readers have guides who have been with them for many years who will assist them by giving direction and guidance in a reading.
“I do see the spirit people around us,” says Janina. continue“We have spirit around us all the time. And there are spirits who do help us because they want to.” Christine’s guides are always with her. “Without them I wouldn’t be able to do my readings,” she says. “They lead me and guide me and I just feel confident with the words that flow.” Although it is said that spirits are around every one of us, psychics are able to communicate with them by raising their vibrational frequency. “I have to raise my vibrations to pick up the spirits,” says Bill, “and they have to lower their vibration and we meet somewhere in the middle. “Whatever my spirit guide tells me I am a hundred and ten per cent sure that I have the right message for someone.” For Susan, working with spirit guides is very much akin to mediumship. “I rely on them to guide me in a reading and I rely on the client’s guides as well,” she says. “If I am having trouble communicating with a client’s spirit guides, the spirit around me will step in and act almost as a translator if I am having difficulty understanding their spirit.” Some psychics, when passing on information from their guides, go into a trance and channel the information directly. But Kim has found she is always able to understand what her guides are giving to her. “I don’t go into a trance and I am always fully aware of what I am saying,” she says. “They would never give me anything that is outside my own understanding. “I do like to feel that I can help people. I am also aware that I want to give them the right information coming from spirit. “Your spirit guides will always be there when you need them.” ..hide
The Power of Meditation
July 2005
EDITATION as a road to spiritual evolvement and enlightenment has been practiced in the East for countless centuries. And in the West, more and more people are turning to meditation, not just as a way of moving forward on their spiritual path, but also as a way of finding a moment of sanctuary away from the pressures of modern life.
Even Western medicine is now, not only recognising the continuebenefits of meditating, but is recommending its use. More and more doctors are prescribing meditation as a treatment for various ailments, including high blood pressure, asthma, insomnia and generally, as a way to relax away from everyday stress. Literally hundreds of books have been published on the subject, giving advice, sometimes conflicting, on what you need to do to meditate and how to you should think. But, in reality, meditating can simply be relaxation and can be as deep or as gentle as you want it to be. Many Psychics Connect readers believe meditation can be beneficial to everybody and often advise people how to go about finding a space inside themselves away from worry or their problems, or how to move deeper within themselves. “Meditation or just complete relaxation is so important in this day and age,” says Kim. “It can often be difficult to sit quietly for a good amount of time but I always advise people to go to a quiet place and connect in with nature and just be with yourself and let your imagination run away with you. It can sometimes be very difficult to clear your mind completely, so sit quietly in a park or by water and just let your imagination go. That, for some, is meditation.” Karitas advises her clients to just sit and close their eyes and see what comes in. “If people could shut the door on their problems and close their eyes for just ten to fifteen minutes a day, they will start to make progress. “Everything takes practice. But when you do that, when you are not trying to visualise or force it, it’s amazing what can come in. “The first step is to have that calm peace around you for a while every day. “It doesn’t matter where you are if you have the ability to focus within. “Reading books on the subject is all very well, but books are about other people’s experiences and can make meditation and spiritual awareness seem very complicated, when really it’s very simple. “If people want to get their own spiritual experiences they just need to go within themselves. The power is within.” ..hide
A Matter of Focus
Jun 2005
LL psychics share the ability to look inward, to raise their vibrational frequency and make conscious contact with a higher energy.
But they all have their own way of bringing their senses into focus, of starting off their clairvoyance, clairaudience, clairsentience, or whatever special talent they use to receive information from a higher source.
Psychics Connect reader Karitas uses Tarot continuecards as a focus for her clairvoyance. “I just focus on the cards and I pick up on what I see,” she says. “Messages and images appear in my mind." Tina also uses Tarot cards but her clairvoyance begins when she asks her client’s name and date of birth. “That’s when I start receiving messages from my guides and angels.” Christine doesn’t use tools at all. “I work purely with guides and angels,” she says. “When I hear someone’s voice the link forms straight away and I begin sensing what it is they need to know.” Before every reading, Carolyne meditates and ‘tunes in’, asking her guides for what her client needs to know to come through. “When I am ready to call the client my clairvoyance is already there and I tend to go straight into the reading.” Donna begins her readings by concentrating on her client’s voice as she spreads out her Tarot cards. “As soon as I hear their voice I start linking in to the vibration,” she says. “That is where the energy is. The voice is a huge part of that vibrational energy.” A crystal ball is Janina’s way of focusing her clairvoyance. “The crystal ball contains a lot of energy and connects with the person I am speaking to. While I am talking to someone I see things and pick up their energy.” But whatever method they use to ‘tune in’ to a client, all Psychics Connect readers are widely experienced in what they do and have a great depth to their abilities. And they are all happy to use these talents in helping you to understand and overcome problems in your life or to move forward on your own path. ..hide
SYCHICS themselves are masters at looking inward, at blanking out the noise and distraction of the world around them, ceasing conscious thought and opening up to their inner self — and a realm beyond.
And so can we all, say Psychics Connect’s readers.
“I believe that everybody is born psychic,” says Susan, “but not everyone is aware of it or has developed it.
“Some continuepeople get hunches, and someone who relates to the feeling and is aware of it, would call it intuition.” Every one of us can learn to quieten our thoughts and focus our attention inwards, to access the genius mind in our subconscious and to make conscious contact with another consciousness. It’s all a matter of looking inward and quietening the outside world. Christine believes many people are beginning to look inward using various forms of meditation in order to gain more understanding and control of their lives. “They are looking for direction to enable them to empower themselves in order to move forward to feel happier and more wholesome. “On top of that there are people who know that they have intuition and spirit energy around them and want to be able to develop that and learn about their own spirit guides.” Psychics Connect readers will happily offer guidance to people who seek to move forward. “I try to tune people into that spiritual growth aspect of their lives,” says Mary—Lyn. “Some clients have experienced what I term an epiphany, a leap in their understanding and insight. If they can get there with me I can try to steer them into it if they want me to.” Jadia believes that empowerment “is to recognise your own ability. The energy is within.” And we are all here to learn and grow, according to Christine. “Many people do not understand that they are on a spiritual path,” she says. “We all are, whether we realise it or not. We are here to grow as souls.” ..hide
Learning to Listen
Apr 2005
ANY people believe that we all, without exception, have a guardian angel who is with us throughout our lives. And we also have spirit guides around us, to help us.
“Many people do acknowledge that they have intuition and spirit energy around them,” says Christine, a Psychics Connect reader. “And they want to develop that intuition and make contact with their spirit guides.”
Katie, continuein her psychic readings, helps people to move forward spiritually. “I try to help them to see that we all have angels and they walk through life with us,” she says. “But they won’t come into our lives unless we ask them. They give us comfort and show us our way forward. “You can throw up all your worries and problems to them every night and ask them to take them to God or a higher being. “They will come to you in your thoughts and in your dreams and they will help you to move forward. “They won’t make decisions for you but they will show you which way you should go and how you should go about making a decision. But angels won’t intervene unless they are asked, says Pauline. “Angels are always there to help us, but they will always wait for us to ask for their help. “And the moment you do start asking, they do work in mysterious ways. Carolyne will also help people towards being able to make contact with their own angels and spirit guides. “The answer is often as simple as finding a quiet time each day just to sit and ask," she says." It’s often just about asking that energy to come in and being willing to receive it. “It is just about being open and willing and trusting. “A lot of people are in touch with their guides and their angel, but they don’t realise it because they don’t trust what is coming in. “If they were to trust the smallest impression that comes in they would realise that they actually are listening — listening to their intuition.” ..hide
The Choice is Ours
Mar 2005
SYCHICS have the ability to look into the world of spirit and see the past, present and future of our lives.
The ‘karmic paths’ link our past with our present and stretch out ahead showing our future, our destiny.
But is our destiny fixed? Is it changeable? Do we have a choice in what happens to us?
“Nothing is written in stone,” says Helen, a Psychics Connect continuereader, “but destiny does play a part. “There are some events and people in our lives that we can’t avoid, but what we do have control over is how we react to it. “That’s where free will comes in.” Darka too believes that our lives are planned out for us to a certain degree. “If you’re at a crossroads you can either continue straight on and live life as you have always done, or you can take a right or left turn and make the changes yourself.” But although a reader may see the possibilities that lie ahead, they will not make the choices for us. “I will show the crossroads,” says Lynda. “I see the paths coming from the past going forward into the future. I can’t tell what choice to make. I can only tell you the different paths ahead.” Janet believes that a person has many forks in the road. “But, at the end of the day, we are all given the gift of free will.” When Susan gives a reading, she describes it as standing on the ‘karmic line’ of a person’s life. “Looking at choices made in the past, I can see where you could have gone and where those lines could intersect again further up the path and where, perhaps, the choice faces you again.” Darka adds: “We have our own free will and we are in control of our lives. We have a bit of a blueprint, but we don’t have to follow it. “We can change our life at any point. We can always take a different road. The choice is ours.” ..hide
The Crystal Ball
Feb 2005
HE Crystal Ball has long been associated with gypsy fortune–tellers at funfairs. But many genuine psychics use crystal balls in a real way to assist and deepen their clairvoyance when giving readings.
“Crystal balls can be used as a focus for a psychic,” says Carol, a Psychics Connect reader. They are something that they can look into to get themselves into a deep and continueprofound meditative state. It can increase the psychic’s clairvoyant ability.” Some psychics keep crystal balls just as a source of energy, but don’t actually use them during their readings. Others see images in their minds as they focus on it. And some see actual pictures in the crystal ball itself. “The polished surface of the crystal reflects light which, in a reading, can easily turn into pictures,” says Carol. For Marion, who is also a Psychics Connect reader, the crystal ball is a fundamental part of her readings. “I use it all the time,” she says. What I see in my crystal ball is a variety of things. It’s like watching television. I use it to see future events in people’s lives. It is a wonderful way of connecting in with people. “I also use it as a means of communicating with the spirit world.” Crystal balls are commonly made of lead crystal, which has often been heat treated to meld the flaws. But they don’t have to be clear in order to work. Others are made form pure quartz or other minerals such as obsidian, or even coral. “If I was doing a past–life reading, I would use a coral crystal ball,” says Carol, “because it is very ancient. “All stones are ancient and can tell us a lot — if we learn to listen to them.” ..hide
We're here for you...
Jan 2005
ANY people who consult psychics are looking for someone who can provide insight and guidance on important issues in their lives.
In most people's experience, the past exists only in memory and the future only in imagination. But at the spiritual level, the past, the present and the future exist simultaneously and it is here that the psychic receives thoughts and images.
"I often continuebegin seeing images and having feelings before I make contact with the client," says Ian, a Psychics Connect reader. "And if the person has an important issue in their mind this helps to focus my images." "The images can be quite strong and, if there is good "connection", very accurate."
Pamela has been helping people for more than 30 years. "I tune in to people quite quickly, " she says, "and can sense how they are feeling. But a client needs to be willing to work with me. It helps to make the reading deeper and more effective.
Marie is assisted by her Spirit Guide in her readings. "Before working with clients I make contact with my guide and ask for guidance, " she says. "I ask for divine intervention. Then I know that, whatever I am picking up, I am being guided by my spirit guide. ..hide
Awaken your own psychic ability
Dec 2004
ANY psychics believe that everyone can become aware of their own psychic ability.
Jadia has been a spiritual and psychic counsellor for twenty seven years and likes to teach people to empower themselves in order to move forward. "There is a magnetic field that goes around the physical body, " she says.
"It is not the aura. It is the energy field that surrounds all life forms. The continueenergy is within and the empowerment is to recognise your own ability."
Carol, a highly talented clairvoyant, doesn't regard her ability as something special. "I don't see it as a gift, " she says.
"I believe that everybody in the world is born psychic, but due to cultural conditioning we turn it off. Gut instinct is what is left. But anyone can reawaken their psychic ability and redevelop it.
"For me it is part of everyday life. I can't imagine what life would be like not to be psychic. "I don't see the spirit world as something special or precious. I see it as something normal that can be utilised in all aspects of our lives. "
Jadia too sees it as a part of her life. "I don't know what it feels like to be 'normal'. I have always had guidance. I have never walked alone." ..hide
ANY psychic readers use different ‘tools’ to assist them in receiving images or thoughts during a reading and in interpreting information that comes in.
Clairvoyance, clairsentience and clairaudience are commonly used and these are often augmented by other methods, such as the use of a crystal ball, help from spirit guides, numerology or cards.
Zelda has a strong Romany continuebackground and uses Romany Tarot cards as well as clairvoyance in her readings.
"Romany cards have secret symbols behind them, she says. "They will go into the journeying of the self of the person and the direction they are heading. Sometimes, they will indicate that their direction is wrong for them."
Helen uses Tarot cards to start a reading. As she progresses, they take her elsewhere.
"I see the circumstances surrounding a client and what could be the outcome."
Combining Tarot with Numerology gives Helen a very powerful predictive tool.
If someone wants to know future trends I can predict fairly accurately what is going to come up for them.
In numerology we go through a nine–year cycle in our lives and each year has a different focus. At the end of nine years it all starts again, hopefully on a different level, if we have learned our lessons throughout the preceding nine years.
If you don't deal with events properly they will crop up in the next cycle." ..hide
The Psychic World
Oct 2004
PSYCHIC can see into a realm that is outside our normal awareness. People with psychic ability are able to sense information about events, situations or circumstances surrounding a person in their life.
But is in the interpretation of the images, sounds, senses and feelings that they pick up that enables them to help people to move past an obstacle in their lives or gain a better understanding continueof their direction.
"Clairvoyants have a different way of perceiving things," says Carol, a Psychics Connect reader. "Most people, once they are given a couple of different viewpoints, can usually make sense of their life. Psychics can tune into much of what is unexplained in life."
Susan, also a Psychics Connect reader, believes she was given her psychic ability to help people, to give them confirmation, compassion and reassurance as well as information.
"Psychics, beyond their own experience of life, are given very specific information about a person's situation and it is impossible not to have concerns and compassion for them, " she says.
But the compassion is a two–way street. Pamela, who has been helping people for more than 30 years, says that it can be difficult to develop a reading if the person is skeptical about the clairvoyant process.
"I tune in to people quite quickly and can sense how they are feeling," she says, but a client needs to be willing to work with me.
"I truly believe in what I do, but I need someone to trust me in the first place. It helps to make the reading deeper and more effective. It makes it easier for me to pick up what it is the client needs and bring them to an understanding of that themselves."
