If you do even the most basic google search on writings about the moon, you will be astonished. The moon, it would seem, has inspired poets and musicians over time, and in every culture. Mythological language, the visual languages of painting and photography - the sheer volume of art, music and literature would suggest that the moon has a particular capacity to affect us deeply, right to the core of our beings. 

Obviously science tells us that the moon has a direct impact on the earth through the ebb and flow of tides, and its cycles are studied by astronomers and astrologers alike. Is this the answer? Is this why the moon has such a mysterious effect upon us? Maybe the waters of our bodies are effected just as the tides…

Perhaps that happens, but I personally believe that the Moon is far more mysterious than that! Science and the knowledge gained from gazing through a telescope, don’t explain why the moon is so powerfully reflected in archetypal symbolism. The moon is rich with imagery of the feminine - the receptive moon, absorbing and reflecting the light of the sun, her lover. But I would encourage you to look a little more closely at the moon, listen that little bit more intently - you’ll begin to realize that all that poetry and music and art isn’t just an expression of archetypal symbolism…. 

For me, the moon is a sentient being - she has her own soul, her own voice, which speaks to us directly. The universe is indeed a very rich and wonderful place, and the moon is a very powerful lady, a friend in the night, who watches over the earth and offers a vibration of constancy and safety while we sleep. Her light is soft and comforting, she speaks directly to our hearts. She sings too, and her song awakens that part of our spirit which knows how to heal and regenerate for the new day. The moon reassures us, and lets us know that everything will somehow be alright. 

Some things can only be seen by moonlight - her softness awakens a kind of knowing which goes beyond conceptual thinking. She inspires trust, and that part of our mind where dreams emerge, possibilities and inventions are born, and hope awakens for the new day. Moonlight can seep into all the nooks and crannies of our consciousness, our ‘heart-mind’. The moon’s light is so gentle and persistent, that it will keep seeping into and through our dreams, until we are ready to bring that awareness to fullness in our conscious minds. The moon is the mother of repetitive dreams, the one who quietly but persistently presents us with knowledge we need. She softens the more frightening or disturbing parts of ourselves, and smoothes the rough edges, until those parts can be dissolved and integrated more deeply into our psyches. 

The moon has moods, but not quite like a woman! Her voice changes its quality with each phase. She is very quiet, even inward looking when in her ‘new moon’ phase. And she walks confidently through her phases until she emerges, abundant and over flowing at ‘Full Moon’. This is when her heart is given full voice, when she opens herself fully to the sun, and offers that light, golden and warm and abundant, to all of us here on the earth. Somehow, even when it is cloudy, her voice is still there. She peaks out from behind scattered cloud, and reminds us that light penetrates even the darkest night. And then, just as nature understands in autumn, she relaxes back to her quieter self, as she wanes again through her diminishing phases. This isn’t a sad time for her, but a peaceful time - she knows that she will soon open again in the right time. 

Most importantly, the Moon helps us to embrace the mystery of the universe. She sings and reminds us of the parts of our stories in the past - she creates a passage to the resources of our past, the knowledge and wisdom of our past lives, our accumulated and shared experiences. She is a communicator of hope because she forgets nothing, and helps us to remember the depths of our soul and the extraordinary abundance of that shared place. 

Is it any wonder that she has inspired so many and been honored so deeply throughout the human story?

I’m sure that some of you have been told already about your own personal psychic ability, even though you’re the one having the psychic reading. Psychics often pick up on their client’s psychic or healing ability as part of the general open environment of a genuine psychic reading. I know this has happened many times with me over the years. It stands to reason that if you’re having a psychic reading, then there’s a great likelihood that you believe in psychic readings, and that you’re open to your own intuition and subconscious power. 

Having a psychic reading often confirms what you have already felt in your own subconscious, or what your intuition has been telling you. 

It’s really important to acknowledge this. The more you are aware of the power of your own personal intuition, the more real knowledge will come forth from the shared subconscious between you and your psychic. The old saying about two minds being better than one is certainly true about psychic readings. In fact, I do say that quite often in a psychic reading there are many minds working together! Sometimes it feels like there’s a crowd! At one stage in my psychic career, I remember asking one of my personal spirit guides why there were so many North American Indian spirits coming through in my psychic readings. It felt as if every second person had a North American Indian spirit guide. The explanation I got was that, in their spiritual tradition, there are many spirit guides to help many people because that is part of their lineage and destiny to unite all people at all levels of life and living. North American Indian spirit guides are very open hearted in offering their services to the world! 

But I digress. It’s about how your psychic ability can help you to have a more creative life. It Doesn’t mean you have to become a professional psychic or even tell anyone about it. It means being more confident about using your own intuition to navigate your way more knowingly through your day and through your life. It takes the doubt out of your decision-making processes. You don’t have to keep looking to other people to confirm your decisions. You become more assured of what you know to be the truth for you. It takes life out of the struggle and into the flow. 

When you know something, you know it. There is no need to debate it, question at, or struggle with it. You may do these things but it’s not necessary. Knowing goes deeper than what happens in your head, or what comes from someone else’s head. Knowing has a logic of its own. Knowing is what happens when your intuition is allowed to flow through to its own logical conclusion. The main blockage in this process is your impatience. 

So how do you relax into the knowing process, and give up the struggle to be one step ahead of the crowd, whatever that means? How do you become that calm, peaceful person who can let the truth come to the surface in its own way and its own time? How do you allow your inner psychic to help and support you? 

Take, for example, a relationship situation where you’re going through rocky times with a partner, a potential partner, or a family member or friend. You might be suffering the anguish of a break-up. Your head is spinning out of control trying to work out how to fix things or at least get some different understanding. It might be a case of just trying to get through the day. Doubt is running the show In the face of unresolved conflict. Or downright despair is chasing after you every minute of every day. What can you do to at least feel calmer so you can see things from a more positive perspective? 

This is where head logic lets you down because the reality of what is going on in your head communicates a more negative message than positive. You have to be strong not to go along with what your head is telling you and try to see things from a broader perspective that takes your gut feelings into account. This is where you connect with your inner psychic. 

You don’t discount the reality of what is going on at the time but you have faith in those deeper feelings coming to the surface in their own way and in their own time. This is how intuition works and it has a power and a process of its own that works best when you relax and trust in those deeper connections and vibrations. It’s amazing how things work out very differently  what you imagine or what your head works out for you. Your inner psychic knows the truth from a different angle. The truth is more likely to emerge when all levels of your consciousness are working together, which is what happens when you accept and welcome your intuition into your decision making processes. I am not saying that you will always get what you want but you will be happier in the long run. 

So, if you now feel inspired to free up your inner psychic more consciously and willingly, get yourself a pack of Tarot cards, ( if you don’t already have one ), and start communicating with your intuition and those deeper subconscious realms of your mind. Let yourself be amazed at how much knowing you really have and how powerful a tool that knowing is. A more creative life is very close at hand!

Have you ever thought about becoming a psychic?  We all have psychic abilties, developing them can make an enormous difference to your life. Strong psychic powers can transform a person, increasing confidence, improving relationships and helping in the making of more intelligent and appropriate decisions. Each of us has this enormous psychic ability which often lies underneath our thinking minds, untapped  and unused.
Psychic abilities have been equated with fortune-telling and predicting the future. It has been associated with gypsy like women with dark eyes and an odd way of dressing. Although there is an element of foretelling that goes with psychic abilities, a real psychic can go to much deeper levels of the universe and see things from a far more powerful perspective than the ability to make a simple prediction.

Your psychic blueprint is how you’re identified in the subconscious. Just as your fingerprint identifies you at subtle levels of what we call physical matter, your psychic blueprint is how you’re identified at more and more subtle levels of the subconscious. If you want to know what your fingerprint reveals to you, you have to study your DNA, your cells, your genes – all those very subtle levels of matter, in the conventional sense. If you want to know what your psychic blueprint means, that psychic fingerprint that you hold, then you also need to study and learn about yourself at those more and more subtle levels of the subconscious, of the psychic realms – where psychic matter resides.

Why do so many people believe in psychic phenomena? Because they have psychic experiences! And why do they have psychic experiences when science and psychology tells us these experiences are not real? In this article, Michelle Walter explores the reasons for the undeniable popularity of psychics today.

The latest Gallup Poll (Gallup and Newport 1991) shows that about a third of Americans believe in telepathy (psychic ability) and about a quarter claim to have experienced it themselves. Rather fewer have experienced clairvoyance or psycho-kinesis (PK), but still the numbers are very high and have not been decreasing over the years. Previous surveys have found similar results, and also that the most common reason for belief in the paranormal or psychic ability is personal experience (Palmer 1979; Blackmore 1984). In short, people believe in psychic experiences because they have them!

Many people also gain benefit from the use of psychic lines and personal psychics to guide them through their life issues. The success of psychics has been a thorn in the side of psychologists over the years. Recently, on the internet in the US, it was reported that Psychologists in private practice are making less and less money now. So, why the demise of psychology, and the growth in the numbers of people going to psychics in recent years?

How Psychology makes people feel….

Psychology in the past has been based on the medical model. The ‘doctor’, (psychologist or psychiatrist), has superior and specialist knowledge of the human mind and behaviour, and using this training, is able to diagnose the patient (client) and provide a treatment to cure the disease. This medical model treats diseases, not people. Similarly, psychologists are trained to treat mental disorders, which are presumed to have an organic origin, although this is rarely proven to be the case. The disease model, when applied to psychology in particular, has shortcomings:

1. Firstly it fails to treat the person and it looks for dysfunction.

2. Secondly, there is a presumption (rarely proven in psychology) that mental illnesses follow the same pattern in every person. If you have a mental disorder, it will develop in the same way a cold does: you have your cause, your symptoms, your prognosis. However, with issues of the heart and mind, they are not so fixed, nor are they so easy to fix!

Focus on shared life experiences
Surprising experiments in personality psychology showed that people’s response to situations was predicted more by situation than by their personality. In other words, we have more in common with each other when we face similar life circumstances, regardless of our personality. So there is a lot to learn from the experience of life. Not everything can be predicted by measuring aspects of the person. This is because people exist in interaction with life. This is very interesting when you consider the focus throughout history on the sharing of wisdom. Folklore, religion, cultural heritage, stories, and myths exist in every civilisation, as they pass on the knowledge learned from one generation to the next.

Origin Psychics are the new keepers of wisdom
An Origin Psychic is like a guide who uses the shared wisdom in the human race to map different pathways and life choices for people. Psychics have not lost their connection with the lineage of ancient wisdom. In order to do a psychic reading, a psychic will use Tarot images containing the stories told in ancient mythology, the I Ching, runes, and past life stories that draw upon ancient cultures and civilisations. Psychics communicate the messages that will help the person make choices in their life. The psychic is in touch with the shared wisdom of the ages, and can keep this lineage alive, so that people can continue to access this wisdom as they have done throughout the ages.

Psychics read energy, not books, to help people
A psychic is constantly in touch with you. Origin Psychics do not refer to books to discover what your problem is. A psychic can read the energy in a person’s life and then see where that energy is unfolding. So a psychic will deal with each situation as it is being created in that person’s life. Psychic insight enables the therapist to share the client’s space - share their world, share their personal experience, and through that, see a way forward.

The connection is evidenced in the psychic reading when the psychic is able to accurately reflect the details of the situation, either practical, or emotional, as if they were there. This is ultimately reassuring for the client, as the client can then feel a connection with a shared humanity. Instead of being diagnosed and treated as if they are the problem, in a psychic reading, the client becomes part of the tribe again. The wisdom of the collective human tribal experience is available for them, and they can take the answers that suit them.

People aren’t looking for problems - they are looking for answers

You can access the wealth of hidden knowledge within you. All the answers lie within your consciousness. Imagine that your mind is like a doorway to the universe, and if you focus and look within, you can access anything you need. This is the Psychic Origin, where you see the potential within your own mind. When you feel separate and alone, you can’t access this knowledge. At these times, you can link into a psychic friend to help you along the way.

In this intriguing article, Gaye Wright explores the realm of relationships of a different kind. Do the imaginary friends we have deserve a better explanation? Is it possible that these imaginary friends might be real? What purpose do these imaginary friends play? Are these imaginary friends always in harmony? Is there a bigger picture that tells the real story?

Most parents would prefer that their children did not have imaginary friends. There is a general belief that these ghosts are merely figments of a child’s imagination. It is too challenging for most of us to entertain any alternative explanation.

A different perspective

What alternative explanation are we talking about? What point of view do you have about communications from other beings? I hesitate to call them “beings”, because that word has too many ‘New Age’ connotations. I prefer to call them friends. I have made many new “imaginary” friends over the years in my work as a psychic. Some stay around for much longer than others. My most consistent communications have been with three Chinese sages whom I call my Chums “imaginary” friends. People who experience messages from the Chums feel the validity of the communication. Any initial scepticism on my part did not stand up to the confirmation I received from other people.

Where do the imaginary friends come from?

My Chums “imaginary” friends have come from my past life associations with China and the eastern traditions. I know this because they helped me to reconnect with old knowledge in my body about breathing and movement and this lead to the creation of Origin Dynamics, which we, at Creative Life International, teach in all our seminars, courses and workshops in both Australia and the United Kingdom. Through Origin Dynamics, I have understood and experienced my body differently, and this is how I have dealt successfully with breast cancer.

What about you?

Have you had any signs that someone could be around and wanting to connect? What can you do to be sure that it is a valid communication? Be open. Do not jump to any hasty conclusions. The challenge is to relax and allow your intuitions to flow. This is the only way you can truly begin to discern what the connection might mean. Some communications seem meaningless. It could be that you have linked in with someone from your past, who only wants some help to move on. Accept that not all communications are long term, just as in your everyday life now you have short-term friendships.

Evaluating the communication

We can learn a lot from children. Most children accept their friends more easily. They do not ask for an explanation of background qualifications. Most adults seek some immediate confirmation of each other when it comes to friends. Children usually give each other the benefit of the doubt until something happens to spoil the friendship. Children rely on their gut feelings to let them know the quality of the friendship. When we listen to our intuitions, we can start to evaluate the communication at a more fundamental level than any logic can do for us. The simple question to ask is: “Does this communication feel right? Does this communication empower me into harmony?” If it generates fear, it is not an empowering connection.

Past Life Troubles

Sometimes a communication comes in the form of a trouble-maker who is into pay-back over some past life association. If this happens to you, follow the evaluation test from above. If the connection feels negative, zap it with a beam of light. It does not deserve any more of your energy than what it takes to banish it from your mind.

Future Friends

Some of the friends from your past may be ready to communicate with you now. The “imaginary” friends I am meant to work with have all connected with me spontaneously, sometimes when I have least expected anything to happen. The main thing is to have an open heart and a discerning mind. Use the evaluation questions to determine the quality of the connection. Practise breathing confidence and strength so that your body becomes more and more sensitive to the truth of your own knowing.

The Psychic Arts have been with us throughout history. In this insightful article, Bede Nicholson explores how intuition still helps us in our everyday lives.

Psychic arts has been with us since time immemorial. From the Native American shamans, to the medicine man of South America, the druids of Europe to the oracles of Asia, as well as the Australian Aboriginal people. Across all cultures, people have accessed their psychic powers to help themselves and their people, and to guide them in their daily lives. Though the myriad of different practices and beliefs, traditions and customs, the one thing shared by all of these cultures was the ability to use their intuition and move into a different realm of consciousness and access knowledge which they could then pass on to others or use themselves. This wasn’t considered spooky or scary - it was a natural part of life that was respected, accepted and recognised as being of great value. Now let’s get things clear. No-one is saying that these people where perfect and everything they saw came to pass. They were just as fallible as us. We live in an ever changing universe and nothing is set in stone. I would imagine that a lot of their rituals and customs became rigid and restrictive and in the end probably blocked out a lot of real intuitive insight. There was probably also a lot of political wrangling and manoeuvring, which would have distorted or biased certain insights. So looking at it from today’s point of view, you can say that not much has really changed, as we still can operate out of rigid and restrictive beliefs, and there is always a certain amount of political manoeuvring going on. The one thing that has changed is the lack of intuitive insight and guidance in our everyday lives.

How did we get to a stage where we no longer value or give credence to psychic insights? In our Western civilization, the erosion of insight started with the centralization of the Church. From the 4th century AD, as the Church spread out from its Roman base, there was a gradual integration and suppression of the various cultures it encountered. The Church in its quest for supremacy and control, quashed local customs and beliefs in its drive for homogenous religion. This is exemplified in the dismantling of the Celtic Church in Britain, which for a time still integrated old customs and beliefs from Druidic times into the new vision of Christianity. The next subjugation of intuition came with the development of scientific imperialism. Within this paradigm, if something couldn’t be proven through scientific experiments, then it could not exist. Anything to do with intuition or psychic ability was criticised and dismissed. This attitude has continued to today. Even though quantum physics has shown that there can be many different levels of reality, this has not quite sunk through and been accepted by other levels of the scientific community.

So, where does that leave us today with regards to psychic work? People have used their intuition through the ages. Leaders of various countries have always had advisors next to them who can work at an intuitive level, so there has always been an informal acknowledgement that these abilities are useful. Sometimes they were celebrated for it, sometimes persecuted. In recent years, there has been an upsurge in people wanting to develop their own intuition and psychic abilities, as well as using services like our own. This has come from an acknowledgement that there is something out there that can be of benefit, which is beyond rational thought and perception, and which can provide guidance and insight into our lives.
