P
Psychic an sychic and Dating? Well it isn’t easy let me tell you. It’s hard enough on the dating scene without adding extra knowledge from your psychic abilities. We have the same hazards as any dating scene except that we can see, feel and know things that most people can’t.
If you are empathic, then you’re getting feelings off of him/her from the start. If you are Mediumistic, people who have passed on to the other side will be filling that coffee shop to want to communicate to your date while you are talking over chai lattes. Sometimes even our abilities can give us the wrong impression of the individual from the start because he’s giving off vibes 4 Psychic Guidepost
nd Dating because he/she has had a hard day or they may be nervous meeting you for the first time if it is a blind date. On the first date, pretend you don’t have abilities and get to know them as a person first. They may look like Grizzly Adams or Ernest Borgnine (though his eyebrows scare me) but they could have a heart of gold and be mediumistic themselves. You know what they say like meets like sometimes. I learned early it is not so good to tell them in the beginning.

New Age Dating Meet people interested in metaphysics anywhere!
ed d n i m e k li g n i t Mee folks One time, there was a gentleman I worked with in my 20’s who was a bit skeptical but I really liked him. He asked me to prove my psychic ability. We used a coin and he flipped it heads or tails. He did it 12 times and I called it right each time. Needless to say he was impressed but he didn’t want to go out with a girl that could beat him in games of chance. Using your gift is great for helping out a friend. If your friend wants to know about her latest boyfriend, she can take you along. (Even that can be hazardous, considering your girlfriend may really like him and want you to say he’s her soul mate but you just don’t see it.) Another story about dating involved my friend and her new beau. He was the skeptical sort and didn’t believe in this “mumbo jumbo”. I was double dating with a friend of his and when he asked me to prove that I was psychic. I started to tell him things no one knew. Needless to say he got spooked and he and his friend soon left. He crosses the street when he sees me now. (he wasn’t worth dating anyway, he was dating someone at the same time as my friend). There is no use doing your own reading (those tarot or tea leaves won’t let you know if he/she is meant for you). I find we tend to skip over that separation we see in the cards due to how much we want them or how we wish they were ours. We see a card and think that’s not a choice between lovers…. that must be his sister (wishful thinking). For some reason, 6 Psychic Guidepost
either through emotions or fate, we can’t tell when the right one will be coming along. Sometimes we are not meant to know about the other person. Maybe we aren’t emotionally or spiritually ready. Maybe we need to heal first, and we have to deal with that. Remember, sometimes something in our lives has to come to an end, before something new like love can come in. Maybe we have to learn trust again. I think we have to learn life’s lessons in love and other matters like everyone else. You might have the best feelings for the other person in the world but it could be you are in their life to help them move on to someone else or to heal or move on to another phase in their lives. Maybe they are repeating a lesson they haven’t learned in a past life and you are there to help. It’s true we sometimes have the same people in different lives playing different roles and it can take a lot of reincarnation in different lives to learn what we need to know. But even as psychics, sometimes it is best to have a reading done by another psychic to see where things are going with your relationship. They can provide guidance when we wonder if we really should put up with that man/ woman who only calls every second week. Even psychic’s can have problems in the love department, I wouldn’t have married two cancers with the same birthday and been divorced twice otherwise. I find our psychic ability doesn’t work for us personally or we would all be millionaires or only been married once. We are meant to use our ability to help others and
MEET AT PARANORMAL INVESTIGATIONS MEET AT METAPHYSICAL TALKS AT A UNIVERSITY help guide them with advice. Now when I’m dating I ask them are you Cancer? and what’s your birthday? When the right person comes along then sometimes we know. I found this with my second husband when I first laid eyes on him (I met him at work). I knew he was going to be my husband but try telling that to him. I didn’t tell him for a while. If I was able to predict for myself, I would have seen he was divorce number 2 but well sometimes you have lessons to learn. It’s been predicted I will marry again, and I said to my friend, no way I’ll live with someone or I’ll hand fast but I won’t get married. She just looked at me with that look of hers over her cards. I guess I am going for Elizabeth Taylor status. Not to say you shouldn’t trust your intuition when you meet men/ women. That instinct that tells you to run fast in the opposite direction shouldn’t be ignored. It’s there

for a reason. There’s also common sense. It doesn’t take a genius to realize when a man is going to pick you up for a date, he really shouldn’t be riding a moped. He figures he’s not going anywhere. You don’t need to be a psychic to know what he wants. Be picky about who you chose. You deserve someone special, they may look great but if they don’t treat you right or you don’t see them for weeks on end and they don’t have a good excuse, they may not be sensitive when you tell them about your abilities. Be careful of letting other people know that you are psychic that possibly might also like your date and be competition. I find these people tend to let it “slip” to your date that you have psychic ability so that they can get the upper hand. If they do remember bad karma comes back 3 and 9 fold to those who take advantage and harm others. If your date reacts badly,
then they weren’t the right one for you and if they don’t recognize the other person is being malicious, then they weren’t smart enough for you anyways. When you find who you think the right person is, take your time. It’s better to go slow in the relationship. I find we tend to use our feelings and emotions as psychics rather than intuitions when our feelings are involved as anyone else would. Take him/her to movies involving paranormal themes and see what their reaction is. Watch out for red flags. If he/she makes fun of people who believe in the paranormal and thinks it’s just hokey, they may not be a good bet. You want someone who is open to new things and ideas. Sometimes you need someone who is as unique as you. Eventually if you have been dating Winter 2014 | 7
for a while, you will have to tell him/her. How else can you explain all those people coming to visit you all the time for readings or why a date has to be on a certain night because you are booked for Saturday? When it comes down to it, it’s better to tell them and see if it is going to work then wait a long time say… when you are engaged … to tell them. (Honey, can you watch football in the bedroom while I do this group reading may not go over very well.) Don’t wait too long.
Psychics have to follow love rules too! Where to meet the person of your psychic dreams? Well it’s sometimes hard to find the right person for you. We are pretty unique. Sometimes when we aren’t looking and the time is right, they find us.
Here are several places it’s possible to meet like minded individuals:
1 2 3 4 5 6
. Talks on the supernatural or psychic phenomena at your local college or university. . Book stores in the paranormal, spiritual or religious section. . Through friends who are aware of your gifts. Sometimes a friend of a friend. . Paranormal investigative groups. . Local events with paranormal or psychic themes (ghost walks). . Psychic Fairs.

. Classes in astrology or other psychic methods of divination at local community centers or colleges. . Take an art class. A lot of psychic people are artistic as well. . The dog park. Don’t tell them about your animal communication ability though.
Now the rules: 1. When to tell them you are psychic?
Don’t do it on the first, second or even third date. Neither one of my ex-husbands knew I was psychic for 4 months. It sometimes scares people and they mistakenly think we “read minds” so they get freaked out which of course isn’t the case (I find only the ones with not so good intentions do this). Casually slip it into the conversation at about the fourth month of “I have a business that’s a little different”
2. Online dating:
Don’t put it in your profile. Not a good idea. Get to know them first as with all online dating. Meet them
DO NOT MAKE PREDICTIONS!
10. Don’t offer to clean your date’s chakras.
in a safe place (public) the first few times you date then follow rule number one.
11. It’s not fair to read any objects left on
3. How to get rid of unwanted dates: if you
want to get rid of them, tell them you’re psychic on the first date and you see them with you forever and marriage is in the future. Watch them run for the hills.
4. Predictions/premonitions that pop up when
you are in the early stages of dating: Unless you see an accident, you shouldn’t do predictions until later in the dating stage. Telling him you see you two together with three children may kill that Cuba vacation you are planning together.
He may not appreciate that at Starbucks.
the table (psychometry) during your date when you are at the coffee shop. (He/she may have borrowed it and you won’t get anything especially if it’s his grandfather’s watch).
12. Finally, if they are meant for you, they will want you because they will think you are a unique and talented person with a gift who helps people. Now that’s the kind of person you want.
~by Danielle Lowe
5. If you are psychic medium and someone is trying to come thru for them: This is probably hard but it is best not to try to reconcile an old disagreement with your date and someone who has passed on the first date. Wait until later in the dating process.
6. Don’t tell him you see problems with his aura and he may have a medical problem. This is
very important not to do this during sex. It really kills the mood.
7. The jealous ex-girlfriend/boyfriend pops up: Don’t say anything. Just remember you can seethe ex psychically with someone else.

Enlightment as the destination WE ARE CONTINUOUSLY UNDERGOING ENLIGHTEND EXPERIENCES, THUS UNIFYING US TO SOURCE
E
nlightenment is often pursued as a destination and desired as a great accomplishment. Often described as a transcendent experience involving an altered state of consciousness, it seems to lack the foundation to coincide with general beliefs held among the spiritual community. By examining the conscious mind or “ego”, I believe we can gain further perspective on the nature of this subject.
destination because enlightenment is occurring continuously. Often associated with a stepping stone to enlightenment is the concept of awakening- The moment where your perspective or beliefs are called into question by none other than your ego perspective. This process may lead to experiences which challenge the ego and may even be reflected by physical symptoms.
I believe this would be extremely normal given that the ego concerns itself with physical components. Although this process may be subtle, they are merely a by-product of contrast. One could say the moment where the ego is challenged and becomes aware of the illusion. Awakening could almost be viewed as a form of enlightenment in and of itself. Whether a person has begun an awakening process or has decided to The ego exists as a means of survival and appears to pursue enlightenment, I propose we take a closer look be limited by the five senses: sight, sound, taste, touch, at what enlightenment means to each and every one of and smell. We all seem to accept that there is far more us. It is my personal belief that seeking to be perceived in this universe. It would only be enlightenment as a destination simply takes away natural to understand that ego is merely limited by the from the experiences, both good and bad, which offer physical senses. This creates a lens of distortion and us universal wisdom. illusion which could ultimately be considered the true altered state of consciousness. Appreciation for the journey is much more beneficial The concept of enlightenment will vary according to for the ego all the while contributing to the expansion cultural beliefs or spiritual paths but they often speak of our universal being. of a state of nirvana or ultimate bliss. You often hear that we are spiritual beings living a physical experience. Some may describe each of us as individual streams of universal consciousness or “God”. The moment a stream enters the physical reality, the ego is born. It often creates the illusion that we are separate from that which we came from.
The problem with this concept is that as a collective, we are continuously undergoing enlightened experiences. These experiences cannot help but be integrated within the unified consciousness of our being. When looking at this perspective, it almost seems illogical to view enlightenment as a 12 Psychic Guidepost

Telepathy
Native Americans and the paranormal
N
ative People were naturally telepathic. Indigenous People were not talkers. Instead, they left room in the airwaves for the small voices:crisping autumn leaves crackling in wind against cold branches; the soft rustling of a nightbird’s wings, brushing the breeze in the growing dark; the deep, mournful, and beautiful song of the wind. By day, the Original People naturally meditated to the sound of a rippling creek brooking stones strewn in its watery road. They respected the conversation of crows.
14 Psychic Guidepost
Long ago, the People could communicate with all of Creation: they spoke the same language. Cedric Red Feather shared this ancient wisdom with me, and I’ve pondered it many times. Our air is a plenitude of human chatter, cell phones, radio waves, train horns, sirens, airplanes, television shows, and big rigs. If these brackish distractors were gone, in that glorious open aural space, we would recapture our original attunement to the small voice. We would become as they were, the First People—innately telepathic. We are flummoxed and nonplussed by “psychic phenomena” and
“the paranormal.” So-called extrasensory phenomenon, to Traditional Native Americans, were by no means extra- or paraanything: they were part and parcel of the natural world. In short, Traditional Native People did what we are re-learning to do. By shifting from living in our minds to living from the heart, we will be able to evoke a greater degree of openness to the supernumerous existence surrounding us. We will quietly and diligently cultivate an awareness of all realms, both visible and invisible. I’m impressed that Phyllis Galde
has the expansiveness and vision to include Native Americans in the paranormal cannon. She recently published Mandan Dreams, in which Mandan Turtle Priest Cedric Red Feather shares ancient prophecies and teachings from the time that Lone Man, Mandan Prophet, walked among the people. Presently, an article about Crazy Horse has made it to the pages of Fate Magazine. He was a Lakota man who, like Cedric Red Feather, was authentic and courageous enough to follow his own dreams.
This article first appeared in FATE Magazine May -June 2013 http://www. fatemag.com/ Used with permission.
We have been asleep a very long time. Galde Press uses print media to wake us up from our psychic slumber. I have heard Phyllis Galde referred to as “the First Lady of the Paranormal” in the cyber world. This is a fair distinction for a grand lady who has kept an openness and steadfastly acknowledged the integrity and vitality of invisible phenomena and realms. It’s no wonder her pets and plants are all “psychic.” By appreciating the propensity of all living things to harbor prehension and an ability to communicate multidimensionally, she has helped us reopened doors and channels among the beings of the Earth, our Mother. by~ Janet Michele Red Feather, JD, MA Ceremonial Singer

Soulmate or sociopath 16 Psychic Guidepost
M difference?
any of the experiences that we have when dealing with a Soul Mate can be remarkably like dealing with a Sociopath, so how do we know the
When you meet your Soul Mate it can feel as if you have waited your whole life for this person, the intensity is incredible, the love you feel knocks you off your feet and the two of you spend every spare moment communicating and sharing your hopes, thoughts and dreams. It literally feels like you have met the person that you were destined to spend your life with – discovered the very reason that you were born. You always wanted a connection this deep and here it is! When you meet a Sociopath they will initially engage in something called ‘love – bombing’. They will literally reflect everything that you ever wanted back at you. They will listen to everything you say and study you intently while they build up a picture of who you would like them to be – because once they create this false persona, and you fall deeply in love with them, they have total control over you. This insidious game is called the Idealisation stage. Its identical to the first few months of finding a soul mate. A soul mate may make long term plans with you before they even really know who you are – they will tell you that they just KNOW that you are THE ONE. A sociopath will do the same thing – but the sociopath has NO INTENTIONS WHATSOEVER of delivering on those promises. They are merely moulding themselves into what you want them to be. They know what you want because you feel such an enormous attachment to this person that you have no boundaries
whatsoever, and you share every aspect of your life with them. Whatever they want – you give them. There comes a point in many soul connections when the fear of the sheer enormity of what is going on here kicks in. This is often the point where your soul mate will pull, or even RUN away. The devastation that you feel at this point is almost insufferable and you literally fall apart. You constantly ruminate. You go over conversations in your head, you blame yourself and chastise yourself for things you may or may not have said or done. You feel crushed, devastated and inconsolable. There comes a point in many interactions with a Sociopath when the Idealisation stage is over and they begin to DEVALUE you. They are bored with you. You were easy to manipulate, they got what they wanted, you are now way too clingy and needy and they are seeking out fresh, innocent ‘narcissistic supply’. They want someone that they can share the Idealisation stage with, something new and exciting. Someone that they can conquer as they conquered you. You no longer fill that role because you keep talking about when they are going to deliver on all the promises they made to you and you keep trying to put everything into ACTION because so far its all been words. Wonderful words, that speak of everything that your heart ever desired, but still only WORDS. You are loving, kind, generous, open, giving and attentive. They hate you for it. You are everything that they can never be. You will pay for that. When a soul mate runs away we feel totally abandoned. Nothing makes sense. We appeared to ‘have it all’, nothing significant happened to change that, things may have been a little strained Winter 2014 | 17
When a Sociopath reaches the DISCARD stage the scenario is exactly the same. lately but you LOVE this person and you are ready to communicate and work through that. What you may not have realised is that by this time, they were intentionally sabotaging things for a reason, an excuse, to bail out. They dont want to ‘talk it over’ because they engineered it in the first place. Your willingness to work things out will actually have them pulling away faster. When a Sociopath reaches the DISCARD stage the scenario is exactly the same. In the blink of an eye you can go from being the centre of their world to the shit on their shoe. You wont be able to make sense of it because it doesnt make sense. Until you understand who you were REALLY dealing with all this time. This ‘dream come true’ who swept you off your feet is actually your worst possible nightmare. They crept into your life, your head, your heart and your very soul, and you let them in because they were wearing a disguise. They fooled you into thinking that this was the person you were destined to spend the rest of your life with. Underneath that disguise is a Narcissist. Totally lacking in Empathy, interested only in getting their own needs met, by any means necessary who plugged into your beautiful energy and sucked you dry. Now you are depleted you are of no use, its time for them to move on to a new, fresh victim. So how do we know who, or rather what, we are dealing with? Maybe we dont NEED to know! Think about the reason for soul connections for a moment. They are about growth, learning life lessons, healing, setting healthy boundaries and practicing SELF LOVE. Someone comes into your life and rubs salt into your deepest wounds. They remind you of all the issues that you need to deal with in order to grow and be the best person that you can be. The universe will teach us all of these things by giving us the free will to do it OUR WAY – and then suffer the consequences. You can put your hand into those flames, how long you leave it there is your choice, and you will suffer the resulting damage based on the choice you make. Soul 18 Psychic Guidepost
connections are the same. So is an interaction with a Sociopath. When we fail to enforce healthy boundaries, people can walk into our lives and latch on to our innocence, take advantage of us, lie, cheat, let us down and leave us feeling devastated. Soul Mate or Sociopath – a broken heart is a broken heart and the lessons that we learn as a result of these interactions are uncannily similar. When you are dealing with the aftermath of an encounter with either of these situations the work that you need to do on yourself is the SAME. Lets also look again at the reason for a soul connection. To show YOU what you need to address within you. To open to your heart and practice UNCONDITIONAL LOVE. To be more empathetic to those around you. To find joy in the simpler things in life. To find balance and happiness that comes from WITHIN. What if your Soul Connection IS ACTUALLY A SOCIOPATH? At this stage you may not be willing to accept such a concept but I would urge you, as part of your healing process, to seek out resources and reading material and decide for yourself. Knowing exactly what you are dealing with will empower you, it will help you make the right choices for yourself and it may just heal you.

Manifestation Perscription for Love
20 Psychic Guidepost
I
n most postmodern spiritual movements the Universal Law of Attraction is a widely known principle. The idea of leveraging this law to achieve goals is a common place discussion in many circles. There is also a repository of information related this topic available online with directives on how to successfully practice manifestation. Even with this wealth of information many individuals misuse the law because due to a lack of understanding. Individuals can experience common yet avoidable pitfalls related to their manifestation practice and therefore become frustrated and give up before they accomplish their goals. This is especially true with individuals desiring to attain better experiences in their love lives. Some of the most common pitfalls are projecting manifestations into the future, identifying an individual as the goal of the manifestation, a lack of focused time in manifestation leading an overindulgence in fantasy, and a lack of integrating gratitude into the manifestation practice. Here is a two part manifestation prescription for people wanting a better love life. This for individuals desiring a new relationship as well as for people wanting to have a better relationship with their current partner. If an individual wants to make manifestation an actual practice in life it is important to have a strict discipline related to the goals he or she wants to accomplish. It is important to set a time limit
for a manifestation practice. If an individual is practicing manifestation 24-hours a day it is likely that they have lost touch with reality. This is not a manifestation practice it is living in fantasy. Consciousness and being present is imperative for the manifestation process. Using the law of attraction incorporates an invisible reality into form. If an individual is spending most or all of his or her life in fantasy they are likely detached from form and there is no place for the desired outcome to become evident. A daily practice should be at least five minutes, but no more than ten minutes. It is important to start out by centering and then move on to the visualization practice. Centering simply means becoming present with the environment around the practitioner and present internally by shutting off internal dialogues that are not consistent with the focused goal. Visualization tends to work best with the eyes closed, however the practitioner should do what
feels most comfortable for him or her. The next step is to visualize the perfect relationship. Through the visualization process the practitioner is answering basic questions through the visualization process. “What is he or she like? What does he or she look like? What kinds of interactions do I regularly have with him or her?� This list could go on forever, but the underlining idea is that the practitioner should eventually reach a point where the image in the visualization is his or her absolute ideal relationship. This is not necessarily physical attributes though, the practitioner can visualize certain activities or interactions that would fulfill his or her desired outcome. It is important to allow these visualization times to be a present moment experience. Visualizations projected out into the future usually do manifest very slowly if at all. For maximum benefit the visualization must be experienced as if they were happening right now. If a practitioner projects his Winter 2014 | 21
manifesting continued or her intention into the future they will get exactly that. The potential will always remain in the future until the individual is willing and able to bring these experiences into the present moment. The biggest pitfall for individuals practicing the law of attraction comes for those people that already have an object of attraction/ affection. They have an ex they want to get back together with or a friend they would like to get to date. In this situation the best thing to do is not even consider the object of their affection/attraction during the practice. If having an image of an individual is necessary for the person’s manifestation process they may consider choosing someone that represents an ideal archetype. For example a character from a movie, book, or some other setting. The idea is not to make the visualization more obscure, but to keep the object of his or her attraction/affection out. People just staring this practice might ask, “Why shouldn’t I focus on the object of my desire? I love him or her.” That is likely very true, however if there is not already a connection there are potential negative emotions attached due to the current separation from the object of his or her attraction/ desire. Whether it is separation issues, dysfunction in the relationship, or just disagreement the vibrational energy associated with that person is not conducive to upgrading the current vibration in the practitioner’s experience. If the 22 Psychic Guidepost
practitioner cannot keep from focusing on the object of their attraction/ affection then they will likely recreate the undesired results over and over again simply because they could not separate themselves from the existing energy associated with their current manifested experience. Even for five to ten minutes. On the other hand practitioners who are able to adopt this practice normally manifest very quickly. This is because they have aligned their vibrational frequency of their desire with a connection rather than a separation and have transcended the issues of the past. The second part of a manifestation prescription is gratitude. Practitioners who successfully manifest their desires as a lifestyle tend to have an overall attitude of gratitude. When starting a practice this can be difficult if an individual is not already aligned with an attitude of gratitude. To get started it is important for a practitioner to take a few minutes each day to do an assessment of the day and find situational experiences that to be grateful about. It does not have to be big situations, but it does have to be real situations. When getting started it is normal for individuals to have gratitude for more generalized experiences such as, “I am grateful for my breath. The food on my table. A roof over my head. A warm bed to sleep.” And so on. These are wonderful things to be grateful about, and it is recommended for individuals to look at these things first and express gratitude. Especially if they have lived a life without expressing adequate gratefulness for these things. However, these are not necessarily situational expressions of gratitude. Unless an individual has such horrible asthma that he or she needs a rescue inhaler several times throughout the day, has been hungry for a significant period of time, or homeless and living on the street, these are everyday things rather than unique situational experiences. However a practitioner should not spend
more than one or two weeks of being grateful for these things as his or her primary attitude of gratitude. Focusing on these things when starting an individual’s consciousness will likely be such that it will identify more situational opportunities for gratitude. So why gratitude? Situational gratitude does two things. First it raises awareness. Many times individuals are stuck in negative cycles simply because he or she is not aware of the good things that already exist their life. Second, situational gratitude will give us an expectation for a good future. It is more important that a practitioner ties their attitude of gratitude and his or her manifestation practice together. It is imperative that gratitude is practiced first before it is integrated into the manifestation practice. Practitioners need to know how gratitude feels to successfully use it as a tool in the manifestation process. Once an individual has fully integrated an attitude of gratitude into his or her daily conscious experience they can begin to incorporate it into the visualization practice and be grateful for the relationship that he or she is seeing during the manifestation practice. This will empower the manifestations and put him or her on the fast track for accomplishing the goal. By James Masters

everal prominent themes will move through the filaments of life in 2014. To find the predominant theme for 2014 year, we add 2+0+1+4=7. The Number Seven can be a bit difficult to grapple with, as it is like holding a cloud in one’s hands. Certain buzz words need to be kept in mind as we travel through this rather unusual energy of 2014. Choice, discernment, silence, spirituality and ethics will show themselves as guideposts to be aware of and put into practice. From a human perspective, the Number Seven influence branches out in many directions, ranging from a focus on mental health, to the environment and spirituality. This energy ruled by Pisces can bring a strong interest in the occult and the metaphysical. However, it can also attract skeptics who doubt all that is not pragmatic and selfevident. Spiritual practices will become more mainstream. People will become more discerning in choosing between those preachers and teach-

ers that are not for their highest good and greatest joy. Listening to and trusting one’s hunches will become more imperative in decision making. The Number Seven is an inner vibration prompting one to silence, philosophical contemplation, and analytical thinking, all in a space of reflection, rest, and solitude. The pressures of everyday life will bring forth a desire to get away from it all, and the best place for that will be nature. National parks will become even more popular as Mother Earth’s energy becomes a healing balm in people’s lives. The environmental protection of trees and water will become a more
This contemplative and private vibration will cause many to withdraw and spend time in solitary activities often brought on by electronics, thus causing relationships to suffer. One might notice the divorce rate increasing in a Number Seven year as couples find they do not have much in common and withdraw emotionally and sexually, as a consequence. A desire to be alone, not necessarily lonely, can become intense, thus moving the couple apart. Writing of all kinds will increase, including personal journaling. Because people will not be verbalizing many of their thoughts, journaling will become a more popular form of self-expression.

“the good ole days” when there was not as much fear and all were “happy days.” Businesses that focus on nostalgia- antiques, recipes from our childhood and retro fashion may show themselves yet again over 2014.
Expect further development in the understanding of mental health issues. Depression caused by economic fears may become more of a public issue to be dealt with. Movement away from chemicals to more holistic approaches for medical treatments may become more popular and written about. More emphasis will be given to organic foods, as the Number Seven has a strong instinct for purity of health through foods. This enthusiasm is similar to a Virgo health fetish. The Number Seven is a code for the intellect, inventiveness and research. Expect advances in technology to surge in 2014 as science, technology and research will become optimum. New appliances, medicines, gadgets and widgets will come to the fore, boggling the mind for sure. A need to uncover hidden answers will become a joy to many; cold case answers will be discovered by detectives, fossil forms with hidden treasures will be unearthed by archaeologists and anthropologists. Secrets in relationships that have never before been revealed may become unmasked. A sense of the past becomes a curiosity to Number Seven energies. People will want to enjoy 26 Psychic Guidepost
Discernment will be a key word in 2014, physically, financially and governmentally. More will be revealed as to the ethics (or lack thereof) of our elected officials, and a “push” to remove them will resound in the ethers. There will be a sense of retreat and re-evaluation in people’s lives throughout 2014. It will become blatantly obvious that the truth has not been provided to them by those they have trusted, and the populace will begin to understand that they should no longer give their power away to others. The year of 2014 is about “personal regrouping.” As Shakespeare wrote, “To thine own self be true.” The introspective year of 2014 is about finding one’s own truth, not ‘the other guy’s,’ in order to be happy, content, and in one’s own power in life. To move forward in one’s personal life in 2014, we must come from our hearts, not our heads and egos. Number Seven is about trust and acceptance. Stay with heart based approaches. Trust that heart-based choices will guide you where you are to go and be, doing what you need to do in any moment. Know that your soul will take as long as it needs in order to move you forward in blessings and that when you surrender (which is different than giving up), what comes into your life next will be better and for your highest good and your greatest joy. When we choose fear, whether in our career, relationships or finances, physical ailments may arise. When we choose faith and trust in a Universe that can keep the stars in the sky, surrender to the Divine and let go of control, all will be well, slowly but surely. ~by Elizabeth Summers
