Take the Next Step in Life. Map out your unique path

Source: California Psychics

One of the biggest challenges we face as people is to remember that life is a journey. While each one of us has our own special strengths and purposes, our time on this earth is not sequentially mapped out. Every choice, or step along the way, is an opportunity to find fulfillment, especially when we are true to ourselves.

Where's the easy road?

We tend to get so wrapped up and stressed out that we forget what we're doing, which can complicate navigating where we are going. Life is demanding, and more often than not, a little bit uncertain. Sometimes, the trials and tribulations of experience are exactly what we need to start us thinking about the path we are on in this life. Just because things may be confusing or challenging now, it doesn't mean that road ahead is going to unfold the same way. Many of us choose to take the hard roads - it's like we believe the greater the struggle, the greater the victory. While there may be some truth in that, we often times make things more complicated than they have to be.

Your life path

It is said that each one of us has a purpose, something we are in this world to do. We tend to think that we are here to achieve that one great thing, whatever it may be. This concept can often cloud our judgment, making us feel that somehow we are doing something wrong, heading in the wrong direction, or simply going nowhere at all. Unlike a road trip, life isn't a singular destination pinpointed on a map, it is more of a collection of thoughts, feelings, desires and experiences. Because of this, we have more than one purpose per life, and the freedom and ability to change the path that we are on.

In order to understand your path in life, it is often essential to understand where you are now, and how it is you got here. By looking back with an open and unbiased mind, you are likely to see how your life has evolved. By reflecting over days gone by, we can refresh our minds and spirits of the things that worked for us, as well as those things that didn't work out quite as well.

The ultimate life...

Sometimes, we get to do what we want to, other times we simply do what we have to, but all of it is somehow connected to the choices we have made. That's the beauty and the heartache of having free will - nobody's destiny is left strictly to fate.

Your life path is very unique to you. While others may have common goals or desires, their path to ultimate fulfillment may take them down very different roads from your own. Take the time to ask yourself what it is you really want out of life, and then think of how you can make it so. Because many of us are much more familiar with the list of things we don't want, a simple place to start would be creating a plan to become free from those things. Sometimes a little reverse-engineering can lead to great discovery. In order to find your true path in life, you must learn or accept what is true to you - even if that truth is something grand and scary.
Some paths are smooth, others have more than a few bumps. Life, and its twisting paths, causes us to grow and change. Some days, the only way to know where we are going is to pause and acknowledge how far we've come.

The world is your oyster

Whether you know where you are going, or have just recently figured out where you have been, there is uncharted territory for you left to explore. Don't fear what comes next, because fear can keep you still. Chase your dreams, plan to fulfill your desires, follow your heart and honor the person you have become. The next step in your life is what you've decided it will be. Remember, life may be but a journey, but you are in the driver's seat!

When you follow where your spirit leads, you'll never be lead astray. So face each day with an open heart and open mind, and work as hard as you play!

Will My Lover Come Back?

Clairevoyants can help make the world a more bearable place

Source: California Psychics

Some people's love lives are complicated, convoluted and full of deception and intrigue. Even amidst the most indiscriminate state of affairs, there are happy endings, reveals Sabrina ext. 9222 . She cites one of her favorite clients as an example, a young actress with a love resume that read like the plot of a hot soap opera.

Angie (not her real name) was in the throes of divorce when she first called Sabrina almost two years ago. The twenty-something actress had caught her about to be ex-husband cheating, but she was okay with it, because she was looking for a way out of the marriage anyway.

While he was away traveling on business each month, Angie's best-kept secret was that she was having a fling with a television producer who worked on the show in which she had a running bit part. Nobody, not even her best friend had an inkling of what was happening.

Then she met Josh on a flight from New Mexico to Los Angeles. They ended up sitting next to one another, and before they landed they had already made plans to have dinner. The only problem was that Josh was legally separated and having a terrible time navigating any kind of a property and financial settlement. Josh was also seeing someone else casually.

Sabrina focused on Angie's first name, date of birth and then as she describes their first reading, "I just began to talk and talk, as usual. I told Angie that there is a tall man, athletic build, beautiful wavy hair, he's genuinely kind…"

"Oh that's Josh," she confirmed to Sabrina. "We just started seeing each other but there's something there."

"Yes," laughed Sabrina. "Another woman, his age, about five feet seven..."

"Yeah that's his wife… well, hopefully his ex-wife."

"She's only concerned about his money and she's cold."

"That's right. He can't get a divorce because they're fighting over it."

"He's going to lose some property in a separate situation."

"Hmm… I don't really know that much. He moved here from Alaska. It sounds like he has property there. His wife is there."

"There is another woman, too … She has red hair and she's athletic. Yeah, that's the dancer he's been seeing, but it isn't anything serious," Angie commented blithely.

"Who's the man from another country? He could lose his job."

"Oh no, don't tell me that! That's Jeff, he's my boss. Don't tell me he's really going to lose his job!"

After that first call, Angie checked in with Sabrina regularly, because she and Josh were falling for each other. During their first year together, Angie had given up the other men in her life even though Josh's divorce was not going smoothly and he was spending much of his time in Alaska.

"Is he the one?" Angie would ask Sabrina constantly.

And whether or not the young actress was fed up with the complications in his divorce, or worried about whether their relationship could survive the stress of their tangled up lives, Sabrina would say, "You'll have to wait for him."

One day after staying in contact with the psychic for more than a year, she called to say that Josh had gone back to Alaska and she'd lost contact with him. "I think it's over," she announced, clearly disheartened.

"He'll be back. I've always said you'd have to wait for him."

"Okay, so how long?" Angie asked abruptly.

"Eight months…" Sabrina was sure.

"He's not coming back! That's nuts. Why would I wait?"

"It's not easy to get out of a marriage like his, but he's coming back. Call me and let me know when he does. I do know that when you're waiting for a lover to return, you really need to do positive things… All time is precious." Sabrina then suggested to Angie that she burn white candles, meditate on the positives in her life, take long walks or a drive at the end of the day to do her best to live her life as usual during their separation.

Angie called Sabrina occasionally for readings about her family and friends, business trips and acting auditions. On occasion she would begin her call to the intuitive, with a "You know, you really are a scary psychic," and then proceed to tell her how a prediction had been correct. Over time, she found herself uninterested in dating around and began to look back at the connection she had had with Josh. It lead her to decide that whether he came back or not, their togetherness had the kind of glue that made her the happiest.

"Just last week," Sabrina announced, "Angie called to say "You really are a very, scary psychic! He's back. He' s divorced. And just as he promised me before he went away, he was focused on cleaning up his life, so that we could finally have a clean chance at love. So Sabrina, is he the one?" Angie asked jokingly.

Sabrina smiled all day after that call, she admits with great satisfaction. "I love helping people in love. Angie used her time away from Josh to manage her feelings about love and life in general, and Josh, who always seemed to know what he wanted, also focused to make things work between them. Ultimately, even as you think about this story, love and other things are all about timing!"

The Art of Silence Embrace the practice by Jamie Nishi

Weekly Horoscopes
Saturday 2nd May - Saturday 9th May - Saturday 16th May - Saturday 23rd May - Saturday 30th May

Source: California Psychics

For anyone seeking balance and serenity, inviting silence into your life is an important practice. The practice of silence helps you to access your inner stillness, the place from which you renew spiritual strength and uncover your true self.

Depending on your interpretation, it is also the place from which you can connect to the spirit, God or the life force that connects us to everyone and everything. Practicing silence in this day and age requires a certain amount of commitment.

The fast-paced nature of life today makes moments of silence seem less and less apparent. Even when opportunities to experience silence arise, we often choose to fill those spaces with sound or activity - turning on the radio, making a phone call, reading a magazine or surfing the Internet. The next time the opportunity to experience silence arises, notice all the ways you are tempted to fill that space with the noise of activity, and instead, welcome silence and stillness into your life.

From there, you will be able to give both your mind and body a break from the constant chatter, and, with practice, experience peace and rejuvenation. Try these simple ways to create moments of silence in your life - and take advantage of the ones that are already there!



Perfect quiet
Much of the practice of silence is finding quiet in the presence of sound, and then within you. Often, silence is what lies just beneath the layers of sound. Sometimes those layers are thick, such as when you're in a crowded mall. At other times, such as on waking or going to sleep, the sound layers are thin, consisting of ambient noises from the environment. The ambient noise that surrounds you shouldn't deter you from the essence of silence, which really resides within you. In The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success, Deepak Chopra writes, "Practicing silence means making a commitment to just be." So even though you may not be able to find perfect silence in this bustling world, you can experience perfect quiet as a state of mind.

6 ways to practice silence:



1. Day and night
It is a very beneficial practice to begin and end each day in silence. The most natural times of day to experience silence are just before getting up in the morning and just before going to bed at night. In the morning when you wake, don't get out of bed right away. Instead, lie at rest but awake for 10 to 15 minutes and experience the silence of the moment. Inevitably you will discover that silence is really full of sound - the birds chirping, your heartbeat, your stomach rumbling, the rustle of leaves and the sound of distant traffic. When you take the opportunity to experience silence in the morning, you are experiencing your being waking to itself. You become very aware that you are alive and so is the world around you.

You can also take the opportunity to experience silence at night. When everything and everyone seems to have turned in for the night, stop and take in the silence for another 10 to 15 minutes before going to bed yourself. Not only is this activity both relaxing and rejuvenating, it is also the ideal segway into meditation.



2. Silent listening
Many meditation exercises begin with the breath, which helps to focus the mind and center the body. You can just as easily begin a meditation with a focus on silent listening. Just as meditation helps sift thoughts until the mind is clear and fluid, a meditation that involves silent listening enables you to sift through the layers of sound around you until you reach the silence within.



3. Vow of silence
In your practice of silence, you can also make a commitment to refrain from speaking for a couple hours a day, a few days or even a whole week! You might notice that once you stop speaking and begin listening to the inner and outer silence, your mind is still chattering. It will take some time for your mind to cease making its own noise. If you persist, the mind will grow tired of its chatter. Once your thoughts have stopped spinning and swirling, you will experience profound silence. If this is something that appeals to you, there are many groups that offer guided silent retreats lasting anywhere from 3 to 10 days long.



4. Communing with nature
Spending time in nature is a great way to get in touch with the stillness and quiet that resides within you. Walking or sitting by a stream, looking out over a grand vista or just quietly resting on a rock while listening to the silence is one way of connecting with the bliss and creativity that resides in the natural world, and in you.



5. The long commute
Do you have a long commute or does your drive to work usually involve sitting in traffic? Instead of plugging in your iPod, turning on the radio or slipping in a book on CD, allow yourself to sit in silence in your car while driving. You will still have to pay attention to driving, but you can take advantage of your car as a cocoon, and enjoy being protected from the many sounds that surround you. Just by paying attention to the silence around you, you will undoubtedly arrive at work more clear-headed and refreshed than you expected!



6. Unplug
Last, but not least, if you want to invite more silence into your life, it also means freeing yourself from habit-forming gadgets. Two of the main culprits: television and the cell phone. Music, television, phone conversations, movies and radio are all things that bring fun and enjoyment into our lives. Yet once in while, we just need to unplug and tune in, not to the latest reality show on TV, but to our own reality show.



The practice of silence is a simple way to check in with ourselves and with the world around us. Creating moments every day to reconnect with silence and stillness improves state of mind, boosts energy, relaxes the body and promotes spiritual wholeness.
