How to Recognize Someone From a Past Life

July 22, 2011 at 5:00 am
By Theresa Danna

If you’ve ever been immediately and strongly attracted to a person or place that later turned out to be significant in your life, there’s a chance that this event was connected to a past life. In his book Journey of Souls, hypnotherapist Michael Newton explains how he discovered, through past-life regressions of his clients, that we each have a circle of souls that we choose to reincarnate with from each life to the next. However, because most memories from past lives are unconscious, we need triggers to remind us who these people are and to help us recognize them when we meet again on Earth.

Recognition Class

Newton hypnotized his clients to the time between lives to see how the plans for the next life are created. With the help of guides in the spirit world, we choose the major events of our next life and decide how certain people and places will play into our plan. The last thing we must do just before coming back to Earth in human form is attend our “recognition class.” Read the rest of this entry »

Make the Time and Space to Let God In

Our lives are enriched by spiritual practice. Yet many of us don’t have a place of worship where we feel at home. And those of us who do may find that once a week just isn’t enough for a “God fix.” Some of us want more. If you’re one of these people, you’re a great candidate for creating a personal daily devotional practice.

There are many ways to create a daily practice that will serve you. The most important things to remember are:

1. It’s important that your daily practice feels inviting. If you don’t love doing it, you just won’t do it. Read the rest of this entry »

How to Open Doors After a Loss

You lost your job. Your partner wants to break up. You and your best friend got into a fight and are no longer speaking to each other. When things like this happen—or when many of them happen at once—many people think, “Why me? Why am I being punished?”

It’s easy to give in to despair when bad things happen. As you’re going through rough times, it’s completely understandable that your first instinct is simply to run away and hide until things get better. But often when your life starts falling apart, you are actually getting a wake-up call from the Universe. Something in your life needs to change, and you are being given an opportunity to change it.

It’s okay to mourn the loss of your job or love relationship or friendship. But once the fog clears a bit, think about what you had. Read the rest of this entry »

Reality: It’s All in Your Head

July 4, 2011 at 5:00 am
By Carmen Honacker

Most people can’t grasp the concept that it truly is all in our head. How we perceive the world, most things that happen to us, what we call reality, how our life turns out, how successful and healthy we are and much more depends on what is in our conscious mind—and, even more importantly, in our unconscious mind.

We want reasons to blame and not be responsible. We want to rely on something or someone that we can hold accountable. We want something or someone to tell us that it isn’t up to us, because that makes life so much easier and much less frightening. Anything, really, is easier when we feel it wasn’t our doing or our fault. And yet, knowing that it was our doing and fault adds so much more power to one’s life. Read the rest of this entry »

What Helps Your Soul Grow?

Your Soul’s Helpers

Our souls, like our bodies, are constantly growing as we journey through life. We can choose to bring awareness to soul growth and develop it in a desired direction. Just as you might say, “I want my body to grow strong and healthy, so I’ll give it healthy food, exercise, and protect it from toxins,” we can say of our souls, “I want to fill up my soul with patience, kindness, and love. I want to protect it from dwelling in unhappiness, negativity, or lack of peace.” The following “helpers” can facilitate your soul’s growth.

Awareness

Eckhart Tolle says, “Awareness is the power that is concealed within the present moment… The ultimate purpose of human existence, which is to say, your purpose, is to bring that power into this world.” You can become aware and present in meditation, journaling, focused prayer, or walks in nature. Choose any practice that speaks to you, and for at least for a few minutes each day, actively connect to awareness. Read the rest of this entry »

Four Secret Steps to Praying

By Donald Michael Kraig

Develop Your Devotion

For thousands of years, people have prayed. Some pray to a higher power, some pray to angels or spirits, and some pray to God. It seems like everyone wants a little supernatural assistance in everything from winning the lottery, to just getting by or for surviving an illness.

It makes sense to pray in a way that is likely to get a desired response. Many people’s prayers aren’t answered. Luckily, because so many people have successfully prayed, it is possible to know their four secret steps to successful prayer. Read the rest of this entry »

Psychic Workout: Spiritual Scrapbooking

Your Book of Shadows

A Book of Shadows is a journal and method of record keeping which documents your spiritual journey as a Wiccan. Also known as a grimoire, “Book of Shadows” is a fancy term that was created in the 1950s by Gerald Gardner, the “Father of Wicca.” Some have offered suggestions as to how this name was derived. Was it that spiritual writings, recorded in secrecy in the evening, required candle light or moon light, which would cast a shadow on the pages as the author wrote their entries? Or is it more synonymous with the concept of Freud’s term “the shadow side,” the dark side of the human personality?

Traditionally, in covens and pagan circles, a sacred “Book of Shadows” did not exist. Information was passed on from generation to generation through oral tradition. As illiteracy was an issue, and because of the sensitive nature of the information, it was preferred to eliminate any paper trail or record of heathen and punishable practices. Over time, spiritual records were created and discretely maintained. It was customary to pass information onto the next generation, but the book itself, would be burned upon the death of its owner.

You Can Be an Old Soul, Too

June 28, 2011 at 1:00 pm
By Psychic Josie ext. 5520

You hear it all the time: “That person is an old soul.” It’s generally a reference made about a man, woman, or child that seems to be wise beyond their years. It’s widely believed that old souls are people who have lived many lifetimes and, based solely on those many past life experiences, have learned valuable lessons or truths that they utilize in their present lifetime.

With that said, I have a slightly different view on the subject. Over the years I have come into contact with many people whom I believe were reincarnated literally dozens of times, but they do not seem to remember or accept information regarding any of their past lives. I have also met those who have been reincarnated only a few times and seem to remember details of those lives or at least recognize that they may have emotional baggage that they cannot relate to events in their present life.
