Is Your Personality Making You Fat?

Will You Gain Weight if You’re Too Caring?

Here we go again, apparently finding yet another reason for women to worry about weight control, dieting, and body image. A widely touted recent study by the American Psychological Association seems to say our personalities may make us have eating issues like obesity or even anorexia. One source hypes the idea that nurturing women are fatter than others because of their caring personalities. Rubbish.

“Trust your body, it’s here for you!” – Psychic Rowan ext. 5423

This study report, like all others, is long and packed full of statistics, facts, and jargon. The researchers’ results point at some people being more prone to eating disorders or weight issues because of traits tested in the study. But know this, the researchers put it right out there that it’s a chicken/egg thing. It’s unclear if certain traits predict weight problems, or if weight problems create those traits.

Astrology: Revamp Your Life With Mars

Get a Spring in Your Step When Mars Goes Direct

It’s finally spring! Many people use the new energy of spring to foster forward movement, the clearing out of old baggage, and encourage making fresh starts. This month there is an extra-special boost in the form of Mars coming out of retrograde on April 13.

Until now, Mars had been retrograde in Virgo since January 23. When Mars is in retrograde, it indicates delays or obstacles in events related to qualities associated with Mars, such as passion, physical strength, sexual energy, and courage. On the positive side, Mars in retrograde gave us a chance to sit back and reconsider where we stand on these topics from a less fiery point of view. Read the rest of this entry »

DreamCast: Your Higher Self is Calling

Separation is an Illusion

Theresa in Birmingham, Alabama writes:

Hi, Cortney. I woke up last night with vivid memories of being in a place where I was performing a task, sort of completing a riddle. There was a long table in front of me and on the table were ancient looking shallow pedestal-bowls (almost like shorter versions of a birdbath). These bowls were filled with water and represented people on earth. I walked around the table contemplating this to myself and dipping my fingers into the bowls. I was supposed to choose a bowl, the “right” bowl, and “read” from it. Instead, I paused and raised my hands in the air, and all of the bowls lifted up and tipped into one another, cascading into one bowl, which I then read. My reasoning was that the separation between people on earth is an illusion, because we all come from the same source and we are all going back to the same source. In the dream, I was explaining this to my ex, showing him how water from one bowl is equal to water from a different bowl, and giving this as an explanation why it doesn’t serve us to quarrel with one another.

While I felt very at peace with this explanation, when I woke up, it was a very strange concept to me. It was like going to sleep knowing how to do high school algebra and waking up being able to do college calculus. I seem to have interpreted the dream within my dream. Does this make sense to you? I’m confused as to what is going on. Read the rest of this entry »

Are You Going Through a Transition?

What to Know When You’re Waiting for Your Train

We all go through times in life when we feel stagnated or directionless. I get hit with this at least three times a year, and sometimes it lasts much longer than my comfort zone allows. I also know what it’s like to feel as though nothing seems to change, especially when I felt like change was my only hope for happiness.

When we want something, we want it now. The “waiting game” can sometimes be the catalyst in weakening our spirits. Having faith in the possibility that change is “right around the corner” seems like a daunting task, and some may even believe that dealing with the universe is simply a waste of time.

Say Hello to Mr. Sensitive and Mrs. Not-So-Much

What Can Men and Women Learn From Each Other?

One of the most unnatural traits for any man is machismo. If you locked a group of guys into a room with a couple of rocks and sticks, they’d build a fire and barbecue the smallest guy in there. If you put the same items into a room with a group of women, they’d assort the rocks into chairs and have a group therapy session. It is true that men withhold sensitivity, while a good portion of women are drowning in it. However, the solution is really quite simple. I’d like you two to meet your new best friends, Mr. Sensitive and Mrs. Not-So-Much.

The Dribbling Creek and Gushing River

Society dictates for men to withhold emotions, and women to gush them. The result is a man who feels isolated and cut off from support, even though he is surrounded by people who love him. Withholding his emotions is choosing to retreat to a cave, where the entire world is left to rest on his shoulders. This singular focus leaves a man lonely, tired, and cynical. Women, tend to overreact to emotional situations when a man isn’t as tactful as he could be. Having these feelings rise to the surface, only to bounce off Mr. Practical’s patented anti-emotion shield; she is left feeling anxious and depressed. Read the rest of this entry »

Should You Trust Your Intuition?

To Trust My Gut, Or to Not Trust My Gut?

We are so often told in this lifetime that if we want to succeed we should “always go with our gut,” or “trust our gut instincts,” but sometimes we do that and it just turns out all wrong. What does trusting your gut even mean, anyway?!

Our energetic bodies have seven major chakras. A chakra is just basically an information center that will hold all of your information about a specific area of your life. For example, the first chakra, located at the base of the spine, holds all of your information about survival, and what it takes to survive in a body. Your seventh chakra, at the crown of your head, is your access point for your highest spiritual information, and is your place to really just be still and know. So where does your gut come into all of this? Read the rest of this entry »

Find Your Inner Voice of Truth

April 12, 2012 at 12:00 am
By Psychic Amanda ext. 5605

Listen to the Messages in Dreams

I remember having a very profound dream when I was about six years old. I was stuck in a log. No matter what I did, I just couldn’t get out. I began to scream for help. I soon noticed that the louder and harder I screamed, the bigger my body became, and that it was even more difficult to remove myself from the log. Suddenly, a voice inside of me spoke, saying “be still, be quiet, be at peace and pray.” I was too young to know the biblical saying, “Be still and know that I am God,” however, my six-year-old intelligence was telling me just that. In the dream I became still, and the stiller and more peaceful I was in the dream, the smaller my body became. Within a few seconds, I was small enough to crawl out of the hollowed log.

This dream has stayed with me throughout my life. I share my dream when I wish to teach that we all have this knowingness inside of us. It is there, ready for us to ask information of it and this internal knowingness has all the answers that we would ever need. Read the rest of this entry »

Will They Come Back?

April 10, 2012 at 12:00 am

It Might Not Be Over

Psychic Indio ext. 5046 knows what it’s like when you break up with your love, your best friend. It’s a gut wrenching, heart pounding time filling your mind with confusion, anger, sorrow and regrets. Good news! Indio has helped many couples get back together.

Why It’s Over

“There are two reasons,” says Indio, “why a couple breaks up. It’s either a lack of communication or one person is pushing too hard. Oftentimes I find men will not communicate what’s going on in their heart. Women want to hear ‘I love you’ and deep conversation.” She told me that when men are holding onto emotional baggage or past experiences, they are projecting onto their current relationship and find it difficult to open their hearts.
