You helped me to believe in myself ! Dear Cathy, You might remember me I hope: my name is Anna and I called you a month or so ago with a career crisis! I was desperately unhappy in my job even though it was something I thought I had always wanted, but now had realized that it wasn’t and wanted to leave and write for a living. You’ll be pleased to hear that I have two weeks left in this job and I Am leaving to concentrate more on my writing. I’ve structured it so that I have two days a week working from home as a freelance writer and editor where I can also write my articles, novels and odysseys! I have a steady part time job for the other three days to pay the rent and the bills and though it means I won’t know exactly how much comes in per month, I will survive and won’t starve!!! Your psychic reading really helped me believe in myself as an artist and I have since made a big effort to reinforce this! I have

started a creative writing course too, to get back into the creative flow. You were right, that as soon as I handed in my notice all that stress and worry and negativity disappeared. It’s a new start now and that’s kind of scary, but I believe I can make it work for me and aim to be totally freelance in a year or two. I am much happier all round though and can start being more positive again. Seriously - thank you so much. I now have a way to stand firm in my creative identity.

USA 1877 878 3868 www.find-the-right-psychic.com
you in particular Gaye. I have you to thank for the stable life I now lead. When I moved house three years ago, I was, as I had been most of my adult life, a man of low-esteem, riddled with unexplained doubts and with a depressing outlook on my future. During my transitory life, in a desperate search for an explanation or solution to the turmoil inside me, I had sought help from psychiatrists, hypnotherapists and other fringe practitioners, without any beneficial effect. Yet after one session of past life therapy with Gaye, (and yes, I was really sceptical at the time) an explanation emerged and the ‘failings’ of my adult life were placed in perspective. After a very short time I felt confident enough not to feel the need for any kind of therapy, and consequently I lost touch with Gaye for a time. Thanks to your magazine, I have re-established contact with her.

Love at First Sight Cupid’s arrow, or imagination?
Cathy Cox - Senior Origin Psychic In ages gone by, the idea of ‘love at first sight’ was certainly not a strange one. In times when fraternisation and friendship between men and women may have been more limited, courtship before marriage more brief, and the average marrying age much younger, the romantic phenomenon of ‘love at first sight’ was a great deal more common. However, modern sensibilities have given way to a much longer term view of love. Many of us may date for months before we have even established some kind of clear commitment, much less marriage. Most of us expect to have at least a couple of relationships before we find the person we wish to settle down with.Yet, modern sensibilities aside, I have found in the course of my career as a psychic over the last 10 years that I have had many readings with clients who have fallen in love very quickly and very deeply in a very short space of time. It may not exactly be ‘love at first sight’ but it certainly doesn’t conform to the idea that you have to get to know someone first before you know whether you love them. What is Love? Part of the problem we have with the idea of ‘love at first sight’ is the very word itself – love. I have always found it such an inadequate word to describe so many variations of feelings and sentiments. Clearly, the love you feel at the initial stage of a relationship is completely different than the love you feel after 20 years of marriage, or the love you feel for a family member. Love is not a static emotion. It is dynamic - constantly changing and evolving. A deep connection Personally, when I talk to clients about ‘love at first sight’ I like to use the phrase ‘ a deep connection.’ ‘Love at first sight’ has the connotation that you have found ‘the one’ the person you are meant to be with for the rest of your UK 0844 704 5868
life. Clearly, it is very difficult to make this kind of judgement at a stage in relationship when you don’t even know the person. However, that does not mean the deep feelings you have are invalid or some flight of romantic fancy. Instead, a ‘deep connection’ reflects the idea that you can intuitively feel something about a person and who they are, which goes beyond the rational, linear process of ‘finding out’ about a person. This kind of connection can be instantaneous, deep and very real. It often takes an almost physical form – a tingling up the spine of wanting to be physically close. Sometimes you may have a sense of what the other person is going to say or how they might react to something. It can happen in a romantic sense or sometimes in non-romantic friendships. Whatever the situation, a ‘deep connection’ reflects a feeling of knowingness about another person that inspires a feeling of love and affection. Connection versus projection At this point, it is very important to discern the difference between connection and projection. I have had many clients who are searching for love. They have been searching for so long for the kind of guy or girl that fits a certain criteria or image of the person they feel would be ‘right’ for them. When the person comes along who ‘ticks’ all the right boxes, it is easy to project a feeling of connection onto the other person, which is really coming from you and not from them. You may think ‘we are so right together’ or ‘this is the man I have been waiting for.’ Yet, a deep connection, at its heart, is always mutual. This doesn’t mean that the other person may express this sense of connection as deeply or clearly as you. Sometimes circumstances or upbringing may mean the person is not able to articulate this feeling as easily.Yet, you have to really be honest with yourself, and ask ‘Am I really seeing who this other person is, or am I seeing what I want to see because they fit my ideal?’

Deep connection as a first step… It’s important to recognise that a ‘deep connection’ is only the first step on an emotional journey. Deep connection does not necessarily imply compatibility of circumstance or personality. This is something that only good, hard work can reveal. It may be that a ‘deep connection’ serves as a catalyst for some new direction in your life rather than it being a person who ‘you are meant to be with.’ If there is a genuinely deep connection between you and another person, then this should certainly be cherished and nourished. This is not something that comes along every day, and wherever it is meant to lead to, should never be discarded lightly or dismissed as ‘silliness.’
THE INNER TRAVELLER
Michelle Walter To my clients whom I consider friends, Some of you I have been speaking to for over ten years! Amazing! I have been working as a psychic for 15 years
now and it is time for a change. I have decided to take a year’s sabbatical to travel and write the book I have always wanted to write!
I will be reducing my hours as of my 36th birthday, 14th August, to work 3 days a week until October, when I will
be leaving for Nepal. I will be available Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays (for UK people this means, Sunday
night and Monday daytime; Tuesday night and Wednesday daytime and Friday night and Friday daytime) You can
make bookings in advance for a convenient time and the staff at Origin Psychics will help you to figure out when I am free.
I will be travelling around monasteries and ashrams in Nepal and Dharamsala and northern India, Kerala and
Veranasi and then finishing my journey with a visit to Tibet and journey through China with a Taoist master. Of course the journey will be the topic of my next book… I am starting a blog site called ‘Inner Traveller’ which you can see online: www.innertraveller.com if you would like to follow my journey.
Take care all of you and please remember if you need to be in touch I will be available until October.
Michelle

DREAMSCAPE Some dreams may appear to be simple processing of the day’s events and yet when one looks deeper, layers upon layers of personal and collective significance can be found. Kim Thomas
Dear Kim
Dear Cheryl,
I dreamt I was in a town looking for a birthday present for someone. Couldn’t find what I was looking for, despite looking in quite a few shops. Wandering round near closing time, wondering where the heck to get them.Walked past a butcher’s shop and had to take a second look because there in the shop was a live rabbit, waiting to have the chop the next day.
Your dream opens with an intention to find a gift for someone against the backdrop of western civilisation, the shops. Instead, of something material you find something much more worthwhile, a gift of your own humanity and how to work with it to protect yourself and the earth.
I thought about it and then realised I couldn’t leave it to that fate, having seen it and looked into its eyes. So I broke in and told the rabbit to follow me, which it did. It was a very large rabbit, but not a hare, and not a soft fluffy pet rabbit - more like a body building type rabbit; muscular and big built! It sat in the foot-well of the car and came with me. The next part of my dream was also in the town, I remember seeing a man on the other side of the street, and there was like a smoke coming out of his mouth, and heading for me. I went into a shop to escape it but felt like it was following me. And part 3 – My husband is with me in this bit.We were driving about and needed to get something charged up - like a mobile or something, and came across someone’s house, so we just went in to get it charged up, no house owners there, no permission to enter, just went in. I remember seeing that they had a ragdoll kitten there which was interesting. That’s all I have in the memory banks! See what you can do with that muddle!!! Thanks, Cheryl UK 0844 704 5868
Your attention is drawn to the plight of a Rabbit. The choice of Rabbit in your dream is no coincidence, an animal with so much luck attached to it, traditionally it is a sign of prosperity and fertility, such as a rabbits foot. You are being sent a message of protection and beneficial outcomes to your current life situation. As a shamanic totem or animal spirit guide, Rabbit brings us a sense of modesty, an ability to live in harmony alongside nature, a cleverness and an ability to adapt to our environment. The Rabbit with its twitchy nose sniffs what is in the wind, acute senses, picking up hidden meanings and messages. Rabbit is calling you Cheryl, to recognise these strengths within yourself, he is there to help you adjust to rapidly changing circumstances around you. As you could see he is no ordinary rabbit, he is strong and yet you feel you need to protect him, a worthy mission to protect other creatures less able than oneself. And yet, I feel that a great deal of your worry may come from trying to control situations by rescuing. I feel for true benefit to come from this dream, look deeply where you try to rescue others. Reflect upon where your feelings of pain are so great, they spill over into the path of another; are you able to draw a line between yourself

AUS 1800 333 007
MERGING
AUGUST 2010
and others? This is to protect yourself and enable those close to you to experience their path, all the joy and the pain. Already, I feel your heart is one devoted to the service of others. I feel you vibrate to a high frequency of compassion, with unusual sensitivity. In your dream, you sense the pain of the animal, you do not draw away you take action. You are tuning into the cry of Mother Earth, her children are in danger and you, as an evolved human being and guardian of the Earth, heed their call. I do feel the second part of your dream is connected to this collective vision of humanity. The smoke coming out of his mouth is symbolic of Man’s desecration of his own body and destruction of the Earth. Here I feel you struggle to take action, you hide in consumerism as do a great deal of the western world. Where in your world are you forgetting about the sanctity of your own body or the Earth? How can you make a difference to your own little space on this planet?
The final part of your dream feels slightly eerie; there is a sense that no one is about and a fear they may come back and catch you. Where have they gone? How did being alone in someone else’s property make you feel? How can people really own the earth and restrict resources to others? You are searching for some sort of free energy, certainly finding some would be a solution to one of the world’s biggest problems and indeed sharing our resources would ease the burden on the earth. In a sense, the idea of there being no owners and no permission needed is quite utopian, a place where all is one, and one has the freedom to be. These ideas arising within your dreams are that of the collective unconscious, now ready to be expressed. From what you called a muddle comes a symbolic story of how we are polluting our planet and how we on a personal and collective level can support life here on Earth.

RENEWAL In this first article on the topic of Holistic Healing, I wanted to give a brief understanding of the link between the physical body and its energetic field, as this is the foundation from which we approach energy healing.
Lynne Leslie The Human Energy Field Although the human body looks solid – it is in fact made up of moving energy particles. All energy particles vibrate at different frequencies – some particles vibrate more slowly than others - making them appear denser to the naked eye. Surrounding the physical body, is an energy field which feeds energy into the physical body – our bio-magnetic energy field – commonly known as the ‘Aura’. This appears less dense, as the energy particles in it vibrate at a higher speed than those in the physical body. With practice, it is possible to see the human aura - it appears as a hazy field surrounding the body. Some people experience it simply as a mist, while others are able to discern colours and qualities in the aura, which can indicate to the knowledgeable eye the state of the energy field, and also potentially the person’s emotional and physical state, as disruptions to both appear firstly in the energy field. Energy is fed through the aura, into the physical body, so the state of our energy field around the body has a knock on effect on the state of our physical and emotional health. You may have seen cameras which take colour photos of the Auric field, showing a beautiful rainbow of colours surrounding the body, which are then interpreted by the camera operator. These photos are a snapshot of the UK 0844 704 5868
person’s energy field at that moment in time. It is fascinating to play with this technology and see how allowing yourself to feel different emotions, has an effect on the colours showing in the energy field. It is a wonderful indicator of how our emotional state affects our energy field. The emotions we feel are our body’s reaction to stimuli – either something external – for example someone criticising you may evoke the feeling of anger, or emotions can be created by our internal thought processes – e.g. if we continually think that we are not good enough, it will create a feeling of low self esteem. If we take it a step further and consider that emotions (however they are created) are shown by the aura photography to affect our energy field, then it makes sense for us to pay much closer attention to what emotions we are feeling, why we are feeling them, and how and why we react to external stimulus. Once we start to become more aware of what we are feeling at any given time, sensitivity will start to increase, and in turn this leads to greater awareness of what has a positive or negative effect on your energy. Once our awareness and sensitivity has developed a little, then we are able to step back and make a choice as to how we allow things to affect us mentally and emotionally, bearing in mind the effect this can have on our energy field, and we can make a choice which supports keeping our body and energy in a state of balance and harmony. So there are always two choices -

rather than get upset by someone else’s road rage, we can choose not to be infected with their angry energy, and to let the situation wash over us – OR – we can be sucked into the negative energy of the situation, and end up as angry as they are. As we become more and more aware, we are more able to make this conscious choice. The subject of energy fields and the effects on the body will be discussed in more detail next month when we look at the individual therapies.

The Magical Tarot Cathy Cox Even after reading professionally for over ten years, I’m still a little surprised when clients say to me ‘Oh, I don’t like Tarot it’s not really psychic, is it...’ Many people still come from a paradigm that using cards makes a reader, and the reading, less ‘psychic’ and so therefore, less valid. For me, this couldn’t be further from the truth. The tarot for me opens up pathways to our inner world. In fact, I find it so intriguing that I’ve embarked on a project of writing about each card in the tarot from that magical, internal perspective. (I hope it will become a book one day soon!) And what better place to begin than with The Fool. Traditionally in the tarot, the Fool epitomizes the moment when we take a risk, and step into the unknown - we begin a process in life, wholeheartedly, and without knowing where it UK 0844 704 5868
will lead us. In the magical tarot, the Fool represents a paradigm shift - in order to connect with the real magic of the universe, you first need to actually be prepared to see things differently, to question your assumptions about life in the mechanical world, to listen to that quiet inner voice which whispers constantly that there is more to life than can be measured by Newtonian science. This is when you don the fool's cape and take your first steps into a different way of seeing the universe. You become an adventurer in a magical landscape. But you must be prepared to question yourself, your assumptions, and especially your beliefs about the world as you know it. This applies particularly to your beliefs about relationships! You never know what you might discover about yourself and your lover if you are prepared to really be the fool, and jump wholeheartedly into a different way of relating!

In the first of his monthly articles on shamanism, Graham Watt delves into its rich history. Each month a new aspect of this ancient wisdom will be revealed.
Shamanism
Shaman (pronounced Shah-man) is a word from the language of the Tungus people of Siberia. It was first recorded by an exiled Russian churchman in 1672 and since then it has been widely adopted by western anthropologists referring to persons in a great variety of non-western cultures who were previously referred to as “witch doctors”, “medicine man”, “wizard”, “visionary”, and “seer”. The history of Shamanism is the history of man’s earliest spiritual discipline, beliefs and practices. It is written on the walls of prehistoric caves all over the world including Central Asia, France, Africa and Australia. In South Africa, Stone Age paintings and engravings pay homage to the Shaman carrying out practices over thousands of years of communing with the Gods, Goddesses, Animals and Elements. Shamans have always referred to the web of life (or now known in Quantum Physics as the Matrix). The belief is that there is a bond between all forms of life and this has been recorded for many centuries by the use of pictographs on cave walls. There have been many references to the spiritual belief system of Shamanism recorded in many ancient cultures, i.e. the Egyptians, Greeks and also spiritually in Buddhism, Sufi, Hinduism. The Shaman, while in an altered state of consciousness, enters a spiritual world to perform healing rituals, soul retrieval, extractions, de-possessions, power restorations, knowledge and communication with spirit. Fuelled by compassion and with a clear desire to help those in need, he/she focuses with divine intention. Communicates with plants, animals and all of nature using song, rattling, drumming and rituals, the Shaman creates a sacred space, to perform the ceremony, or UK 0844 704 5868
journey into non-ordinary reality. Every Shaman has a guardian spirit whom he or she will regularly travel or communicate with on a journey and in addition to the guardian spirit, he or she will have a number of spirit helpers from any of the kingdoms - the Rock, Plant, and Animal kingdoms. Behind the basic principles of Shamanism lies a rich Animism which grows out of the Shaman’s experience of working and communicating with “spirits” of whose existence he has practical experience. Animism is a view of the world which attributes living souls and spirit to all things, even what the contemporary world sees as inanimate objects. Once Animism was considered a quaint, primitive notion but since the advent of Quantum Physics, it is taken far more seriously. From a shamanic perspective, spirits are just as real as the rocks and trees in our garden. Traditionally the Shaman, having been through a process of development and training by which the consciousness matrix has become fully activated, is able to undertake quests of the soul into sacred places, both on the earth and in spiritual realms, in order to bring back healing wisdom and guidance in matters of cosmic importance. The traditional shaman is the intermediary between the numerous realms of spirits and gods and the everyday domestic world. Although I have been trained and ordained as an Inuit Shaman and having worked for many years with core Shamanism from many cultures, my passion and heart is now focused on the Celts and their Shamanic beliefs and teachings. (Something to do with being Scottish I think!) Next month we will look more closely at Celtic Shamanism and its links to Paganism.

AUGUST 2010
Origin Horoscopes
Kim Thomas
Aries: August is a hot month for Aries. The people in your life are demanding more space and freedom or you may notice this in yourself as game playing and power struggles ensue. Your drive to move forward and make your desires known is halted, as this is a time for inner adjustment not progress. Certainly, events regarding important people in your life will have a knock on effect in your career, eventually resetting life goals. Think of yourself as metal in the blacksmiths fire, being melded and reshaped, through incredible intensity a new more practical tool for living is created. Taurus: August finds you searching like the roots of a tree for water, an occasional rock gets in the way and so it diverts. Our attitudes towards those we love, service to them and our aspirations may require adjustment for us to find the sustenance within our life and to appreciate it more. With Venus in Libra from the 7th the spirit of compromise and balance survives in a tense desert where personal freedom and unexpected changes push us to think about more serious demonstrations of love. From the 20th, daily routine and work take on a harmonious quality as relationships with colleagues improve. Gemini: August is a busy time for you with emails, letters and short trips away, some of the frantic energy will involve family and home. Make the most of supercharged days such as the 6th because from the 20th life slows down, hold ups occur, energy moves inwards, so initiate projects sooner rather than later. Carefully re-evaluate your dealings with other people regarding money. The current powerful alignments in the sky channel the energy of change into your areas of joint finance, creativity and your dreams but only if you can free yourself from restrictive thought patterns, let go and move forward. Cancer: For you Cancer, its all bound up with your self worth, the money you spend, the money you earn. This month sees a focus on possessions but they really are just a metaphor for your inner security. So if you see yourself desperate for something outside yourself, think again. Your feelings of insecurity are inevitable in a world of ever changing circumstances, support can be found with family and friends. Certainly the events of the last few months announce a change within yourself regarding your relationships, this month may push you to the limit but keep believing in yourself and you won’t go wrong.
Leo: It’s like a light has switched on inside you, all of a sudden your view is expanded. Expect this opening of perspective to have repercussions in how you approach life this month, your creative output and relations with others. With light comes heat and momentum as Mars kick starts the planetary alignments, slow to start but by the 10th, fireworks as 8 planets link and a New Moon in your sign. From the 23rd, your senses may become a little cloudy; this is a reaction to Neptune being on the scene so go canny, as all that glitters is not necessarily gold. Virgo: August spells endings for Virgo, delving into the subconscious, analysing and discriminating. What aspects of the self are functional and what is not? A useful process before your birthday, which ties in with the T-square theme for you, transformation of resources through personal efforts, creative ability and working with others. With Mercury retrograde from the 20th and the Sun in Virgo from the 23rd, this month is for planning rather UK 0844 704 5868

than doing. Your time will come, as growth continues internally, facing up to the more challenging aspects of life will hasten this process.
Libra: August ripening finally brings the burst of energy to harvest your good works. Your ruler moves into Libra from the 6th, with other grounding influences you will be working on the structures of your relationships, building peace and compromise. The struggles of past months have not entirely faded as transformation continues in the home, while groups of friends or community play a big role in the drama. Some unexpected cash may ease the way, paying of your debts and investing seems the Saturnian thing to do and while the Lord of Karma sits in your sign its best to obey. Scorpio: Power and intensity are usually associated with Scorpio; your mission this month is to use these abilities wisely. Your choice - the scorpion or the eagle, sting your victims or soar above your dilemmas! You may have been doing a lot of brooding lately as old psychological patterns and communications are flattened to make way for something more functional. A Waxing Moon in your sign on the 16th symbolises a mini crisis of faith but your inner struggle will pay dividends especially if life goals and work commitments are scrutinised.
Sagittarius: Your ruling sign, Jupiter does seem to have a number of challenging transits early month, there is potential for circumstances outside yourself to push you into action so try to keep cool. With Jupiter retrograde until November 18, the onus is one of self-reflection so these transits may give you some food for thought such as new about your own behaviours. Be aware when you may be dominating others or obsessive behaviours take control. In August try to enjoy friends and colleagues, it may feel like a chore at first but from it comes, positive benefits to finances and self-esteem. Capricorn: Your stoic nature still faces challenges as Uranus and Pluto maintain there angular positions this month. Freedom and transformation issues persist with your ruler; Saturn’s need to control the situation, the urge for more choice and less restriction disrupts your usually centred self. Working relationships take on a serious and committed tone from the 8th, showing you in a favourable light with the bosses. The sensible head continues as you are forced to deal with the nitty gritty subjects of life - sex and money, favourable outcomes may take a while but are assured.
Aquarius: Saturn gets a bad rap but it feels like this heavy weight planet is holding something down right now, like a sandbag on a hot air balloon, used to steady and maintain height, be content with hovering right now, the time to ascend will come. This month sees you working on relationships, looking for the new and unusual. On the 7th and 8th expect some financial, love or travel issues to surface, resolution comes through laterally engaging the thinking mind, trusting the bigger picture and tuning into the unconscious for guidance. Pisces: Within the stars this month, there is potential for fulfilment; this comes through working on health, service and finding more functional ways of structuring your daily regime. Sometimes it is difficult for Pisces to think in such earthy ways but grounding yourself in life will help with material challenges. Careful judgement and a philosophical bent, will help when you are faced with opposition regarding money or the physical wants of others. The Full Moon in your sign on the 24th links beneficially to Pluto, this provides receptive fertile ground for healing in the area of dreams, friends and relationships. UK 0844 704 5868
