Empowered Minds Want to Know

If you don’t think you’re worth it then, guess what? No one else will either. Stop! Stop telling yourself every negative thing you’ve ever heard anyone say to you, or about you. Stop standing above yourself and dropping boulders of insults at you. Stop judging every little thing you do or don’t do, as too much or not enough. You wouldn’t beat your friend up nearly as hard as you beat yourself down. Stop allowing this type of treatment from the one person in the whole world who should love you more than any other – YOU!

Do you know the impact this behavior is causing to your already bruised self-esteem? Do you recognize that you’re treating yourself as badly as those in the past have treated you, which brought you to this state to begin with? Do you know you can stop anytime you choose to, by simply shifting your negative thoughts and judgments away from you and into the garbage, where they belong?

Begin this moment to give yourself even a small measure of the kindness you extend to others. Start believing you are better than your thoughts give you credit of being. You are an extension of the Divine, and as such, there is NOTHING wrong with you. Yes. Perhaps your thoughts need adjusting, but YOU are already perfect. You are more than your injured mind believes you to be.

In a world where one button can delete you, friends can seem enemies, lovers strike as cobras in the desert, and bullies seek randomly for the easiest target to spew forth their own misery, it is little wonder any of us have self-esteem at all. To top it off, many of us grew up in homes where our parents berated us, and grew into adulthood with siblings who discounted us. Yes … I suspect we all have reasons to turn toward ourselves in disdain with all the evidence we’ve accumulated in our lifetimes supporting our idea that we are less than.

Nonetheless, the truth is, we are all MORE than we can ever imagine. We are all worth seeing our dreams materialize. We’re all worth having suitable mates. We’re all worth living a life better today than yesterday, but the simple fact is, until each discounts his negative thoughts about himself, there is no turning off the damage which has been done by others, and no turning around to face a day free of self-loathing.

Take a no tolerance approach to bullying, and let this stance hold true to even yourself. Stop bullying you. Let the negative opinions of others slide over your shoulders like syrup over pancakes. Don’t attach your mind to them. The only opinions you should ever remotely consider are the opinions of those you both love AND trust. All others are just like trash that blew into your yard. Bend over, pick it up, and toss it into the trash!

When you find yourself in negative self-talk, stop immediately and remind yourself that you wouldn’t be talking to your best friend in the same way you are speaking to yourself. Change the negative talk to some positive talk by reminding yourself of all the good things you have accomplished, and use the latter as new evidence to build a case for you … yourself as a person worthy of love, and worthy of even your own love.

You can change your mind any time you choose to. Always remember that. Don’t judge, put down, berate, abuse, or mistreat yourself another day, hour, or minute. It doesn’t matter if the entire world thinks you’re not worth it, as long as you know you are. Be just a little bit sweeter, gentler, kinder, softer and more compassionate to the most important person in the world … YOU!

GREAT TOOL FOR UNDERSTANDING RELATIONSHIPS

Romantic relationships have always been a mystery for most people. Not only can they bring two people great joy, but at times, they can be a source of great frustration. Now, your personal Relationship Report provides an easy way for you to apply the science of numerology to help you better understand your intimate relationships.

The highly insightful compatibility reports are full of practical suggestions for making stronger, more meaningful relationships.

12 MEANINGFUL TOPICS FOR EACH

Every compatibility report covers 12 in-depth topics, each of which is divided into three sections – one for each of the two individuals and another for the two of them as a couple.

~First Impressions – an overview of your general personality characteristics; who you each are at a glance.

~Your Adaptability – how your flexibility and acceptance of each other affects your relationship together.

INTEGRATED APPROACH

A highly developed approach is used to look at complete numerology charts for two people. The report addresses energies that enhance, support, or reduces desired traits that are the basis for each of the twelve topics covered in the report, and describes the two individuals as well as their relationship together in great detail.

Moreover, each Relationship Report uses the current names as well as the birth names. This is very important for a comprehensive compatibility reading since the name used today often adds new and important energies that reflect changes made in a person’s life. This is especially true for women who change their name when they get married.

An inner sanctuary of peace can only come when one holds faith in what is unseen. When everything in life is contrary to what would normally bring inner peace, faith seems to find itself lost in the debris of, what will be? It is during this cycle where hopelessness lies in fertile wait, like a thief in the night stealing from you tranquility. When hopelessness is met with focus, hopelessness gets what it seeks – growing so large that faith is driven into subservience.

The question of finding hope during times of hopelessness plagues, as the feelings which accompany this emotional state can completely engulf one, allowing only a lost path to faith to be seen. The emotional states of fear, worry, and anxiety impact our sense of well-being so greatly that our ability to stay focused on faith during difficult times in our lives is diminished greatly.

When our feelings overcome our states of well-being, we must counteract this with dispelling disempowering thoughts, and overriding these with thoughts that are more empowering. It has been proven time and time again, that where our thoughts go our feelings follow, and where our feelings go our actions follow. That being said, changing the thoughts we allow ourselves to focus on during challenging times, is key to dispelling a state of hopelessness.

There is always something to be thankful for, no matter how difficult life becomes, and there is never a more important time to practice gratitude than during the times when it seems life couldn’t get any worse. During life crisis force yourself to see the areas of your life that are working. Each day, list the things in life you are grateful for, no matter how small. If you have water to drink, it counts. If you have a roof over your head, that counts too.

By doing this you will be shifting your thoughts from the negative to the more positive, and by shifting your thoughts, you will soon discover the intensity of your feelings of fear, worry, and anxiety begin to lessen, and to shift to more positive feelings as well.

Hang on to the ideas that no storm lasts forever, Divine timing is perfect timing, and that the miracle which is unseen now, will brighten the nearer you come to it. Believe that your life is with purpose, there are no mistakes, and that at the other end of the pruning, what you’ve gone through will have been worth it. In this, there is faith, and in faith there is hope, and in hope, hopelessness relinquishes her grip.

From a higher state of calm and faithful trust, you will discover that you are more able to make the decisions necessary and to proceed from a place of confidence. You’ll become more relaxed and able to hold off doing anything until the time is right to act, and finally you’ll come to terms with the idea that when you’ve taken all the action you can take, and done everything you can do, it is time for you to rest in faith that, this too shall pass … it is only a matter of time.

Your perception in any given situation is simply the way in which you are interpreting it. We all know that two people can witness the same event, yet see it in two entirely different ways. One person enduring abuse in youth becomes an adult who abuses. Another person enduring the same circumstances becomes the adult who would never abuse. Why? Each has interpreted his experience differently. One will say, “I abuse because I was abused.” Another will say, “I would never abuse because I was abused.”

Our perceptions of events are not the facts of the event. When witnessing a father who seems to be completely oblivious to what his children are doing, one may perceive him as being a neglectful parent, when in actuality, he may have just left the funeral of his wife, and the mother of his children. He may be engrossed in a painful situation, and doing the best he can do, considering.

When one experiences a difficult situation, it is quite common to think the worst. Fear sets in, and off the mind races to “worst case scenario.” Think about a time in your life when something you dreaded happened, and initially you felt like it was the end of the world, yet as time passed, you began to see it differently. You began to see it as a blessing in disguise, as you came to realize had it not happened, you wouldn’t be where you are now, and you surmise that where you are now is exactly where you want to be.

Perhaps you endured a break-up with another you loved so dearly you couldn’t imagine life without him. At the time, you couldn’t eat, sleep, think, or stop crying. You were absolutely convinced you’d never meet anyone like him again. However, as time passed, and your heart healed, you not only met someone, but someone who was better for you than he could have ever been. You met someone better than.

The situations I’ve described above will help you to understand that interpretation is everything. Every experience can be perceived as good, and every experience can be perceived as bad. The most amazing thing to recognize is that you are the person making the choice to see it as either, or. You are the one determining if your life is good, or if your life is bad. You are choosing your interpretation, and your interpretation is choosing your emotional experience.

The way in which you interpret or perceive the experiences in your life will directly impact your emotional wellbeing, or lack of. You can choose to see every experience as experience leading to the ultimate good. You can choose to see even the most difficult experiences as being experiences which are helping you to define your soul; helping guides leading you to the path you were born to take.

A life well lived will never be free of tears, difficulty, painful experience, let-downs, disappointments, or feelings of unhappiness, but a life well lived and well perceived, well interpreted, will certainly lead you to a greater sense of peace and contentment. Ultimately, you decide. I say, decide to be happy.

Four out of four people die, this is a simple fact. Yet when someone we love walks into his own fate, many have grave difficulty coming to terms with what is inevitable. Our human response to one’s death can send ripples of shock through families, communities, countries, and at times even over the entire world.

We tend to focus more on how and why a person passed, rather than to address the fact that nothing unusual in actuality has occurred. It seems easier for most to lend lingering focus on the pain we feel at a time of loss, rather than focusing upon the joy we experienced during the lives of those who have gone before us.

Certainly I make no attempt to minimize the impact that death has on our emotions. And certainly, when one passes unexpectedly or at the hands of another, the impact of loss is greater than otherwise, and mourning time increases accordingly.

Mourning is important to the ultimate goal of healing, and is a critical stepping-stone to gaining acceptance. Yet I have found that there are some (who even after years have passed since the time a loved one departed) are still sequestered away, no longer finding any joy in life, as though their own life has ended as well.

As I’ve pondered this phenomenon, I’ve come to the conclusion that most people who suffer (beyond the realm of reason) after losing someone important to them, also have a belief system concerning death which renders a hopeless finality, one which excludes all possibility of potential existence outside physical form, extending on eternally.

There is little true evidence which lends itself to bringing fact to eternal existence (which is a belief I subscribe to) yet if one holds a belief, even void of factual proof, and this belief empowers him in some way to improve his human existence, then where is the harm in holding it?

Our beliefs concerning death and dying can strongly support our healing after the death of another, but just as easily these beliefs can bring about constant belaboring of painful experience. Subjecting oneself to a belief system which is non-supportive of personal healing does nothing to advance peaceful existence.

It is an important distinction to understand, our beliefs are not facts. Our beliefs are simply our opinions. Our opinions become beliefs only after we have gained a multitude of supportive evidence suggesting these opinions slant more toward fact than otherwise. Many of us hold belief systems which have been passed along to us by our families, educators, and religious leaders; beliefs which have never been questioned. The idea that mom says so, my priest exclaims it to be, or my professor stated it as fact and therefore it is, is as archaic a premise as making a statement that the earth is flat.

Gravity is fact. The existence of the moon, earth, and the sun is also fact. Two plus two equals four is fact as well, but rather a person exists beyond this lifetime in soul form, or is reincarnated and returns in another life as a different person, or that heaven and hell are real places or are not real places, these are simply beliefs which are widely held by the masses, or widely discounted by same.

Overcoming the loss of a loved one to death, in a manner that our own lives continue with joyful experience requires evaluating our personal beliefs. It is important to recognize which beliefs we hold that encourage our peace, while uncovering those which encourage the opposite. Once you understand limiting beliefs, beliefs that keep you in a continual state of suffering, begin to analyze what evidence you have to support these beliefs, and begin building evidence which will help to denounce them.

Essentially one can absolutely find volumes of evidence which points to eternal existence of the soul after death, just as one can find volumes of evidence which would support the alternative. Which you choose to focus upon is a personal choice.

Cherish the memories you have of the person who has passed into eternal slumber. Rejoice in the moments that he lived. Focus on his life versus his death. Build belief systems which support eternal existence of his soul and peaceful survival beyond this life.

By following these steps I assure you will still mourn. You will still shed tears, and will long for the presence of your loved one. There will still be horrible days which will require every ounce of your energy to sustain, and months that thoughts will linger of the days you once shared together, but ultimately by adhering to a set of beliefs which support life hereafter, you will begin to find joy in your own human existence, and peaceful contemplation in regard to your own mortality.

It is my hope that by sharing some of the experiences which have brought me to where I am today, and those that are shaping my future, I can bring awareness to the fact that a person possessing psychic intuition is no different than anyone else.

It is my belief that each of us has some type of psychic capability, which I define as simply having a deep connectedness to the divine. There just happen to be those among us who bring our intuitive natures more fully to the surface, and those of us who feel compelled to use our intuitive gifts to help others more clearly define their life paths, which is what I have chosen to do.

My name is Jo, aka Psychic RadiantLight. I make my home in the Midwest, and live a life no different than any of yours. Sure, there are subtleties of uniqueness, but for the most part, the struggles and victories I face on a daily basis are the struggles and victories common to your own life.

I dedicate my life work to conducting psychic readings, facilitating trainings, speaking, and doing spiritual consulting with the desire to help others gain the empowerment they need to revolutionalize their lives. I eat, sleep, take part in my community, devote hours to my spiritual evolution, spend time with my family, enjoy the occasional glass of wine, travel, and argue with my husband, who I both adore and, at times, vigorously contest. ; )

I never asked to be a psychic reader, nor do I believe anyone does. In fact, in my earlier years, I did everything in my power to deny to myself and to others that I possessed psychic capabilities of any sort. Instead I endured the turmoil of picking up energies involving other people and energies involving events yet to come, while questioning my own sanity until denial of what was and is a part of me, turned to acceptance and ultimate surrender. Today I fully accept that I have psychic impressions, that I am of sound mind, and that the source of all psychic ability stems from the great divine.

Psychics, including me, typically are not saints, although oftentimes they are thought to be. Nor are we without experiences of weakness, fault, addiction, and otherwise less than desirable personality and character traits. As for me, I’m just a regular person who is strongly spiritually inclined, yet falls short of the mark of sainthood far more often than not. Regardless of the strength of one’s psychic ability, life still steps in to challenge.

Over the course of my life, I’ve personally suffered physical and emotional abuse, endured the loss of loved ones, overcome the emotional devastation which followed the suicides of both my father and former business partner, rose above addictions which plagued me in youth, climbed from the debris of financially debilitating circumstance, survived broken heartedness, and all other manner of dis-ease. Clearly, I am human.

Although my life has been laced with numerous uncomfortable and tragic circumstances, I’ve come to realize that without these, my belief in those things that lie outside logical and analytical pretence would not have come to fruition. Coming to terms with the gifts Universal Source has bestowed upon me, and the idea that using these gifts to help others was truly meant to be my individual purpose in life, has been the greatest gift.

Each of my life experiences were guiding me, teaching me, softening me, to reach beyond what is seen, and to explore more deeply the world of the unseen. This exploration brought me front and center to the truth. The truth that each of us has the ability to connect individually to the divine, and that not only do we possess the power to do so, it is our obligation to do so, both individually and collectively. Those who fall short of this attempt are those who contribute to the great maladies of the human race, the maladies of hopelessness, helplessness, discontent, and dissention.

My past and all it included: chaos, addiction, financial woe, emotional turmoil, and tragedy, all gave me the compassion, empathy, and the understanding necessary to help others overcome obstacles in their own lives. Without the good, the bad, and the otherwise, my soul would not have evolved and my level of consciousness would have remained stymied.

Use of the word Psychic and others words associated with it bearing negative connotation by many, would have remained unspoken members of my vocabulary, pondered upon only as the secrets I held. Without the mishaps of my life experience and without the tragedy of loss lying outside my control, my intuitive nature might have continued to be denied, locked away forever behind the doors of "what other people think."

It is with this that I encourage each of you who have experienced great difficulties in life, to accept these experiences as rewards to the soul, and to look upon them as guides – guides that are whittling away the rough edges of your humanness and leading you to the revealing of your soul, and to the ultimate fulfillment of your personal soul purpose in this lifetime.

Surrendering to your darkest hours, embracing your weaknesses, revealing your secrets, and accepting yourself despite the opinions, thoughts, and personal convictions of others are the stepping stones to pure soul expression, and it is here that one is dancing in the arms of heaven. All life experience is a soul teacher, but experiencing tragedy is to be visited by the master, and a visit from the master is oftentimes necessary for some of us; bringing us to our knees so that once standing, we stand as a soul revealed, and a soul purpose both exposed and expressed.

Some of you may feel that regardless of what you do nothing seems to work out. Perhaps you’ve been trying to find a job, or attempting to work through relationship difficulties. Maybe you’ve been seeking a buyer for your home, or climbing from financial disarray.

Whatever the case may be, you have begun to feel that no matter what you do, the doors of opportunity and advancement seem to shut at every turn.This can be a terrible test to your endurance, and can seem hopelessly impossible to overcome, but it is NOT the time for you to give up! In fact, completely opposite. It is the time for you to give in.

When you are at a juncture in your life similar to what I’ve described above, you are more than likely also at the stage of feeling discouraged and frustrated to the point of just wanting to give up. Additionally, you are probably wondering what is wrong with you, and attempting to figure out what your next move should be. You may also be feeling punished and persecuted by the powers that be. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t, ten steps forward, twenty back, there you are, stuck.

When things in our lives are not going according to plans, it is human nature to take action to change the circumstances we are enduring. Yet, after one has taken every action he knows to take, sought all advice he knows to seek, and still nothing shifts to his advantage, it is time to consider that one cannot solve a spiritual problem using the logical mind. This is simply impossible. If everything you do reaps only the same account, perhaps there really is something more at work here than meets the eye.

It is a spiritual fact that as we traverse through life we operate in supportive energies which encourage forward movement. Nonetheless, it is also a spiritual fact that there are times when we operate in energies which are restrictive, and this is evidenced when we’ve beat the door of opportunity to death, and it still remains quietly unmoving. A sense of drowning in a stagnant pond is the prevalent side effect when restrictive energies are at work in our lives for extreme duration.

When one is operating in supportive energies, he will see his life plugging along systematically. Doors will open, things go smoothly, and conflict is only an occasional visitor. When one is operating in more restrictive energies, then naturally the opposite occurs.

Fortunately non-restrictive energies come and go and occur at different points in our lives. Unfortunately, there are times when these restrictive energies seem to linger for months, and in worse case scenarios, even years. When the latter is the case, you are dealing with a spiritual problem, and all the logical and analytical ways in which you attempt to proceed, will do absolutely nothing to support your cause.

Getting through months of restrictive energies is certainly difficult, but for those of you who are experiencing a long cycle of restrictive energies, it can seem like your life destiny is to be plagued with disadvantage. This is not the case. Nor does it (in reality) have anything to do with what you are doing or not doing. Most simply put: the cause is based upon energetic healing you’re going through rather you are consciously aware of it or not. You have absolutely no choice in the matter. These are divinely inspired energies which will ultimately be to your advantage, and will ultimately redirect the course of your life, bringing you closer to the fulfillment of your soul purpose in this lifetime, and the only thing you can do is surrender.

Surrendering can most easily be explained by telling a story. Let’s suppose you are in a raft on a river. You have two oars and are easily able to navigate the waters. All the sudden, one of the oars becomes mired in underwater debris, and despite what you do, it is impossible to retrieve. Even though you know it will become more difficult to steer your course, you reason it will be all right, as the river is calm and you still have one oar left.

You go along for a bit, and out of nowhere, a huge rock appears, and smack, your other oar is tossed from your hand, and again, it is impossible to retrieve. Now you are filled with anxiety, as you know this can’t be a good thing. You begin to imagine the worst, and soon become filled with fear.

Your fear of awful consequence creates a tremendous amount of anxiety, and you immediately try to steer your raft by throwing both hands into the water, and as quickly as possible you paddle them from one side of the raft to the other, but you only find that now your raft is spinning. You are literally going in circles. Despite this, you know you can’t give up, so you repeat the action over and over again, and over and over again you continue to spin in circles. Finally, your arms get tired, and you are forced to rest.

Exhausted, you lie back, close your eyes, and let the course of nature take you where she will. Yet only after a brief rest, still anxiety ridden, you pop up fearing the worst. To your surprise though, you notice that you’re simply coasting along with the current of river. Completely void of alternative ideas, you realize your best course of action is to take no action at all. You conclude that despite your desire to end up at the eighth cove on the left, four miles from where you began, and despite your best efforts to get there, this will just not be the case.

You accept your defeat even in the absence of understanding, and resign yourself to the idea that you just as well lie back and sunbathe, as all effort to do anything else has met only with resistance.

Surrendering is simply the process of accepting what is, and going on about your business with emotional ease. You haven’t given up; you have given over to divine intervention in your life. You can flail around crazily in your attempt to change your course, or you can relax and sunbathe. Either way, you will end up in the place it is meant for you to be.

No one can take from you what is meant to be yours. No one can stop you from doing what you are meant to do. No one can destroy your path to your purpose … not even you.

Though life can be filled with storms blowing emotional turmoil, anxiety, and worry through your being and to the core of your very existence, there is no storm known to man which has not ultimately run its course, and no storm known to man which is not also known to the Divine. Each storm blows into your life through Divine intention.

The storm you may be facing today is bound to meet its end, and in the eye of this storm lays a change in course toward the fulfillment of your destiny. No storm brings carnage without revenge of new growth, new constitution, new purpose, and greater discovery of your eternal spiritual place in the universe, and beyond. All storms hide the ultimate fortune you will receive behind the temporary misfortune of current circumstance.

Where you are is not a mistake. What you are facing is not a mistake. You have been created perfectly by Divine perfection. You are no less than any other. You are as deserving as any other. Only your thoughts allow you to consider otherwise, and your thoughts are not doctrine.

Thoughts have no power to bend your self-esteem beyond your allowing. Your thoughts are not facts, and are not subject to your control. They are visitors, coming and going, yet can only stay to the length of your clutching, and can only become facts about you or about your circumstances when you are in agreement.

The Divine is not punishing you for bad deeds done in the past, nor subjecting you in any way to suffering. The Divine is guiding you, shaping you, and molding you to become what you are intended to become in this life time, and to do so, it is impossible for you to carry the past with you. The past must be severed for you to enter the doorway of your future.

When you are plagued by stress, worry, and fear in your life it is vital to steer clear of reinforcing limiting beliefs about yourself, just as it is vital to view your situation from a place of compassion and non-judgment. To do this, hold the idea that the Divine is impartial. The Divine is not set on your destruction. Recognize that you are ALWAYS deserving of a peaceful life, and that despite the storm you are facing, this storm too shall pass.

Reinforce the idea that on the other side of the dissention you’re facing, there will be new energies at work in your life which will come in, catapulting you to new arenas where greater life satisfaction and the culmination of your deepest desires are joined.

There is perfect balance in the Universe. What goes up ultimately comes down. What is put asunder is rebuilt more perfect than. The lower you are, rest assured that when the energy completely shifts, the higher you will go. In this, the justice of the Divine is expressed.

You will survive. You will come out of this on the other side. You will be different than you are now, this will be evident, but you will be better than, with more than; more equipped with, more readied for … coming face-to-face with your ultimate desires. Don't give up now, you're too close to the miracle awaiting your arrival.

The best way to gauge if you’re on course to fulfilling your purpose is to pay attention to your behaviors. Most often, when we’re off course toward this goal, our behaviors tend to be more negative. As individuals we have a spiritual responsibility to fulfill a purpose while here on earth. When our courses are interrupted, and we are no longer seeking cues which would lead us directly to our soul’s chosen path, we become disengaged from our missions. With disengagement, we begin to believe our greatest desires are only wishes; dreams perhaps never meant to be fulfilled. Soon to come, our behaviors begin to follow these disempowering thoughts like a dog on a leash, and manifest as discontentedness and frustration, and a hopeless attitude ensues. Essentially, we give up believing our lives are purposeful.

Dreams, wishes, and ideals are tremendous signals given us to keep us on target to the fulfillment of our soul purposes. In a sense, one can look to these as signposts along the way. Unfortunately though, when our desires are met with opposition over an extended period of time, it is only natural to doubt the eventual achievement of our goals, and to doubt also that there was ever an actual purpose for our lives to begin with.

Perhaps you have always loved to write. Even as a child, you jotted poetry, devoured books, wrote love stories, and just knew that someday you’d be a published author. As the years went by and obligations of school, extra curriculum activities, and responsibilities at home led you further away from having time to devote to your writing, you put your dreams on hold. The years went by, and a college campus became your home, and your lover, a part-time job. The dreams you had as a child became more and more like a vision through a rear view mirror, disappearing behind you.

Occasionally, you may have jotted your frustrations into a journal, or shot off a romantic poem to someone you cared for, but the only real writing you did was the occasional college essay, and even then, the topic was assigned. The treadmill of life you joined. Like a hamster on a wheel, you seemed to be running away from the visions of your youth. Later you married, had children, then launched a career you felt you’d never chosen to begin with. More and more tunnels were built with wheels at every corner, and your life became a vicious cycle of repetitive doldrums, and your childhood dreams became adult delusions, and your youthful purpose became only an imaginary friend from the past.

This is the point where behaviors can become negative even in the subtlest of ways. You may find yourself frustrated, disillusioned, bored, angry, hopeless, and searching for anything to assuage your basic discontent. You reach for food, or for the attentions of unsuitable partners. Perhaps you find yourself drinking more, or you become impatient more frequently. Maybe your life has become nothing more than a cycle of questions and directives: “What’s for supper?” “Get your baths.” Or, ”what’s on television?” Then, only in the darkest channels of your mind in still, do you hear the whispers, there has to be something more.

There is… and the whispers are your soul’s reminders that you have a specific reason for being here now. They are your soul’s subtle pricks and prods, meant to awaken you from a state of walking dead. They will begin in the softest of whisper, but will end in shouts of calamity when void of your attention. All too often I see the same scenario played out in the lives of others, and all too often it seems that until a person’s life has completely fallen apart, the purpose of it, is left unattended.

There is no reason to wait to bring your dreams to life. There is no need to bury your soul amongst the props of your existence. There is no reason to go through the motions of living, when you feel as though you’re dead. In fact, it is in the dis-ease of one’s life, that the fulfillment of dreams is ripe for exploration and eventual attainment.

When you feel as though life has no meaning, remind yourself of the divine. Remind yourself, it was in your youth you were closer to the truth of your divine nature. Remind yourself it is never too late, you’re never too old, and that you can always find time in your busy schedule to revive your intention of living a purposeful life. If you have lost your vision, remember your past, as this can be a wonderful way to awaken your passion, and it is where your passion faces that your purpose is reflected. If you have difficulty stirring the hopes and dreams of childhood, write a brief autobiography of your earlier years, with your focus toward the things that truly made you happy.

Explore your heart. Expound upon those things that show up which make you happy just thinking about them, and resolve to yourself that enough is enough. It is time for you to start listening; time for you to begin taking action; time for you to believe there is more, and time for you to take responsibility for the unfolding of the Divine plan for your life. It is time for you to fulfill your purpose!

It is my hope that by sharing some of the experiences which have brought me to where I am today, and those that are shaping my future, I can bring awareness to the fact that a person possessing psychic intuition is no different than anyone else. It is my belief that each of us has some type of psychic capability, which I define as simply having a deep connectedness to the divine. There just happen to be those among us who bring our intuitive natures more fully to the surface, and those of us who feel compelled to use our intuitive gifts to help others more clearly define their life paths, which is what I have chosen to do.

My name is Jo, aka Psychic RadiantLight. I make my home in the Midwest, and live a life no different than any of yours. Sure, there are subtleties of uniqueness, but for the most part, the struggles and victories I face on a daily basis are the struggles and victories common to your own life.

I dedicate my life work to conducting psychic readings, facilitating trainings, speaking, and doing spiritual consulting with the desire to help others gain the empowerment they need to revolutionalize their lives. I eat, sleep, take part in my community, devote hours to my spiritual evolution, spend time with my family, enjoy the occasional glass of wine, travel, and argue with my husband, who I both adore and, at times, vigorously contest.

I never asked to be a psychic reader, nor do I believe anyone does. In fact, in my earlier years, I did everything in my power to deny to myself and to others that I possessed psychic capabilities of any sort. Instead I endured the turmoil of picking up energies involving other people and energies involving events yet to come, while questioning my own sanity and feeling possessed by demons until denial of what was, and is a part of me, turned to acceptance and ultimate surrender. Today I fully accept that I have psychic impressions, that I am of sound mind, and that the source of all psychic ability stems from the great divine.

Psychics, including me, are typically not saints, although oftentimes they are thought to be. Nor are we without experiences of weakness, fault, addiction, and otherwise less than desirable personality and character traits. As for me, I’m just a regular person who is strongly spiritually inclined, yet falls short of the mark of sainthood far more often than not. Regardless of the strength of one’s psychic ability, life still steps in to challenge.

Over the course of my life, I’ve personally suffered physical and emotional abuse, endured the loss of loved ones, overcome the emotional devastation which followed the suicides of both my father and former business partner, rose above addictions which plagued me in youth, climbed from the debris of financially debilitating circumstance, survived broken heartedness, and all other manner of dis-ease. Clearly, I am human.

Although my life has been laced with numerous uncomfortable and tragic circumstances, I’ve come to realize that without these, my belief in those things that lie outside logical and analytical pretence would not have come to fruition. Coming to terms with the gifts Universal Source has bestowed upon me, and the idea that using these gifts to help others was truly meant to be my individual purpose in life, has been the greatest gift.

Each of my life experiences were guiding me, teaching me, softening me, to reach beyond what is seen, and to explore more deeply the world of the unseen. This exploration brought me front and center to the truth. The truth that each of us has the ability to connect individually to the divine, and that not only do we possess the power to do so, it is our obligation to do so, both individually and collectively. Those who fall short of this attempt are those who contribute to the great maladies of the human race, the maladies of hopelessness, helplessness, discontent, and dissention.

My youth and past, and all it included: chaos, addiction, financial woe, emotional turmoil, and tragedy, all gave me the compassion, empathy, and the understanding necessary to help others overcome obstacles in their own lives. Without the good, the bad, and the otherwise, my soul would not have evolved and my level of consciousness would have remained stymied.

Use of the word Psychic and others words associated with it, which bear negative connotation by many, would have remained unspoken members of my vocabulary, pondered upon only as the secrets I held. Without the mishaps of my life experience and without the tragedy of loss lying outside my control, my intuitive nature might have continued to be denied, locked away forever behind the doors of, what other people think.

It is with this that I encourage each of you who have experienced great difficulties in life, to accept these experiences as rewards to the soul, and to look upon them as guides – guides that are whittling away the rough edges of your humanness and leading you to the revealing of your soul, and to the ultimate fulfillment of your personal soul purpose in this lifetime.

Surrendering to your darkest hours, embracing your weaknesses, revealing your secrets, and accepting yourself despite the opinions, thoughts, and personal convictions of others are the stepping stones to pure soul expression, and it is here that one is dancing in the arms of heaven. All life experience is a soul teacher, but experiencing tragedy is to be visited by the master, and a visit from the master is oftentimes necessary for some of us; bringing us to our knees so that once standing, we stand as a soul revealed, and a soul purpose both exposed and expressed.

Another year of life has passed by, with a new year budding, and a promise of blossoming potential filling each with anticipation for what’s to come. It is a time to assess what has gone before, and to define what shall come into being.

Going deeply within, with bravery and courage combined, it is time to affirm your desires, set your goals, dream, visualize, and to get clear on what aspects of your life are in need of change. Change is the keyword to improving your life. Without it, a stagnant pond is life’s reward.

Grab paper and pen, and begin now to note the areas of your life where you feel least fulfilled. Ask yourself if your relationships are working. Contemplate where you are in your spiritual life. Consider your career or career goals. How do they fit with the person you’ve become over this past year of your life?

How is your life functioning as a whole? Where are the holes? Is your family life where you need it to be? Are your finances in need of overhaul? Is your appearance where you wish it to be? Where do you wish to be next year at this time? What will you have to do to get there? What do you wish to attain overall?

Each of us has a unique combination of aspects to our lives which have significant importance to us as individuals. Not everyone is career oriented, just as others do not have children to consider. Some could care less about appearances, while others find appearance to be of great concern. There is no right or wrong. The important thing is to define the aspects of your own life which make you who you are.

Aspects of life encompass many scenarios. Some examples are spiritual, financial, health, physical body, appearance, love relationships, family relationships, friendships, activity, pleasure, hobbies, children, career, and community. Use any of these, or add others which pertain to you specifically.

By clearly defining your life into aspects which are of greatest importance to you, and measuring each of these on a scale from one (greatly dissatisfied) to ten (completely satisfied) you’ll see a picture emerge which will be helpful in determining where best to put your efforts over the coming year.

After you have determined at least eight aspects of life which you find vitally important, list them, and begin analyzing what is working or not working in each area. This is where you begin to determine what has to change, what needs to change, and what you want to change.

By defining the aspects of your life, gauging on a scale of one to ten the satisfaction you’re experiencing in each aspect of your life, establishing where you are now, and determining where you wish to go, it is much easier to set goals, and to devise a plan of action.

Once you have spent a few hours mulling things over, becoming clear about what’s important to you, and putting your thoughts to paper, take a deep breath and let it go. You have made your affirmations for the year ahead. You have put it out there to the Universe with assured delivery directly to the hands of the Divine.

Think upon those things you wish to happen, not the other way around. Focusing on what isn’t working, will never find you a solution. Take necessary action, say that it is, and it will be in time. Belated happy New Year!

Your perception in any given situation is simply the way in which you are interpreting it. We all know that two people can witness the same event, yet see it in two entirely different ways. One person enduring abuse in youth becomes an adult who abuses. Another person enduring the same circumstances becomes the adult who would never abuse. Why? Each has interpreted his experience differently. One will say, “I abuse because I was abused.” Another will say, “I would never abuse because I was abused.”

Our perceptions of events are not the facts of the event. When witnessing a father who seems to be completely oblivious to what his children are doing, one may perceive him as being a neglectful parent, when in actuality, he may have just left the funeral of his wife, and the mother of his children. He may be engrossed in a painful situation, and doing the best he can do, considering.

When one experiences a difficult situation, it is quite common to think the worst. Fear sets in, and off the mind races to “worst case scenario.” Think about a time in your life when something you dreaded happened, and initially you felt like it was the end of the world, yet as time passed, you began to see it differently. You began to see it as a blessing in disguise, as you came to realize had it not happened, you wouldn’t be where you are now, and you surmise that where you are now is exactly where you want to be.

Perhaps you endured a break-up with another you loved so dearly you couldn’t imagine life without him. At the time, you couldn’t eat, sleep, think, or stop crying. You were absolutely convinced you’d never meet anyone like him again. However, as time passed, and your heart healed, you not only met someone, but someone who was better for you than he could have ever been. You met someone better than.

The situations I’ve described above will help you to understand that interpretation is everything. Every experience can be perceived as good, and every experience can be perceived as bad. The most amazing thing to recognize is that you are the person making the choice to see it as either, or. You are the one determining if your life is good, or if your life is bad. You are choosing your interpretation, and your interpretation is choosing your emotional experience.

The way in which you interpret or perceive the experiences in your life will directly impact your emotional wellbeing, or lack of. You can choose to see every experience as experience leading to the ultimate good. You can choose to see even the most difficult experiences as being experiences which are helping you to define your soul; helping guides leading you to the path you were born to take.

A life well lived will never be free of tears, difficulty, painful experience, let-downs, disappointments, or feelings of unhappiness, but a life well lived and well perceived, well interpreted, will certainly lead you to a greater sense of peace and contentment. Ultimately, you decide. I say, decide to be happy.
