Clairvoyance: Discerning the Truth from the Lies

“Close both eyes
to see with the other eye.” – Rumi

Clairvoyance, the art of clear seeing, allows one to look beyond the mental image pictures that inform and create one’s reality to the truth behind the layers; the essential psychic energy that is gently guiding all things in the physical world.

There is nothing magical about Clairvoyance; you don’t need a certificate or even training to do it. In fact, your inherent clairvoyance is always on, perhaps unconsciously, and if you want to turn up your awareness, all you need is a desire to “see”, a healthy dose of non-judgement or neutrality, and a lot of courage. A sense of humor helps too. :)

The real magic of being clairvoyant comes from allowing yourself to be seen. Once you begin to see things as they really are, in their essential truth, you cannot help but begin to grow and change. Old patterns and habits will begin to ripen and become ready to be plucked, freeing up space and energy for the new things you wish to experience. Defenses and lies that have alienated you from the world around you – and from yourself – will begin to simply fall away (some with a wimper, some with a snarl). Once you begin to see truth and be seen, you cannot help but move more quickly towards that essential truth – who you really are in spirit. Seeing yourself clearly is the beginning of the ultimate act – self-forgiveness. It allows you to step fully into your truth and power.

If you’re working clairvoyantly you cannot be controlled by others, because the lies and pictures that enslave us are simply that; when you begin to operate outside of those controls – be they familial, societal, monetary or national – you will experience encompassing freedom and the ability to choose. You can regain your will, your passion, and your desire to live an authentic and passionate life.

All this is well and good, of course, but the real healing in bringing awareness to your Clairvoyance is that you will begin to soften to yourself. The lies and controls you have placed on yourself – because of other people’s judgements, pain, invalidation and jealousies will begin to fade away. It can feel like coming home to yourself; a beautiful reclaiming of your true life force and energy. Some people begin to feel more safe; to feel more comfortable with intimacy, to feel passionate about living again. Everyone’s journey is unique, but one thing is true, seeing yourself clearly and trusting in what you see will create the change you wish to see in yourself, and in the world. Clairvoyance will be essential in healing our planet and our lives in the decades to come.

There are many forms of turning on your clairvoyance and awakening your psychic self. None are more right than another. But this ability is yours, it is your birthright, and you have the right to see the truth! Claim it!

What is “Psychic”?

Contrary to popular belief, being psychic is not a super-power; it’s actually part of our innate human abilities. Great philosophers like Aristotle and psychologists like Carl Jung have written extensively about the human connection and ability to access and work with the “animus” – or life force. Everything has it, everything runs on it; it is what creates the world we live in today. Your life force is the most important energy in your life. How much of it do you have access to?

But the great gift of waking up your psychic abilities, whether it be clairvoyance (to see), clairaudience (to hear), clairsentience (to sense), your intuition, or the multitude of other ways we sense and perceive energy is not necessarily to be able to foresee the future, or fix or solve the lives of others. Sure, it’s a nice thing to give readings, healings, and to be able to give a hello to other people, psychically. But the true gift is to be able to see yourself, in present time, clearly.

Carl Jung writes that all of our decision making abilities, thoughts, feelings, and instincts are guided by underlying psychic energies – that unexplored and unchecked may wreak havoc on our lives. Indeed, we do create our own realities. The true gift of being psychic is to be neutral enough to clearly see these influences, and with the power of consciousness, to de-energize, transform, and re-shape them so they are no longer a hindrance – but actually assets.

Clairvoyance is an amazing tool for this, because if you can see an energy, you can get space with it. Almost like one would observe a painting at an art museum – you can take a step back from it, consider it, see what it reveals from all angles. You can then decide if you want to keep it, or if you’d like to change or adjust it. The choice then, becomes yours.

In a period of human history when all of our resources are spent exploring, deconstructing, and analyzing the outer world – very little attention is paid to the essence of our lives – our psyche. We’ve been so busy thinking about what we think that we’ve forgotten to ask what we already know. Your body personality (or psyche) contains the remains of everything you’ve ever experienced – in this life time and previous ones – the light and dark, the beautiful and ugly, the profound and ridiculous. In that, somewhere, is who you are.

The Buddhists would say that everything would change if we all followed the “eigthfold path” of the dharma, and that your psyche is merely a distraction. The Christians tell us that if only we put all of our faith in God, we would have a different world. The rationalists would say that if everyone was reasonable, and acted with intellect, that our world would be changed. The trouble is that none of these things would actually heal the division that has occurred between your conscious and unconscious – or psychic self.

So, what WILL heal you? You. More of your energy and life-force. You already have the answer to the life you want; and it is buried like a treasure deep within you. Are you ready to roll up your sleeves and find it? An energy healing can get things moving. A psychic reading can help you to see some of these energies that are obstructing your path. Classes and workshops on opening up your awareness can help you to begin to see yourself with the love and attention that you deserve. When a client comes to receive a reading or healing – my goal is that they get a hello to who they are in spirit; where they are working, where they are stuck, but more importantly – where they are beautiful. Where they are magnificent. We focus so much on what’s “wrong with us” that we forget how amazing we are. In that remembering is the real healing, for everyone.

Great quote

‎”In everyone’s life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit.” – Albert Schweitzer

Are you allowing your interactions with other people to stoke your inner fire?

Finding Your Personal Health

I’m going to admit it – I’ve tried EVERY SINGLE DIET that exists. I’ve been on them all. Carb free, gluten free, Atkins, South Beach, Juice only. I’ve worked with a spiritual nutritionist for a year, and we did some radical healing work with whole food supplements and muscle testing that was amazing…. but completely no fun. I’ve been vegetarian, vegan, omnivorous and everything in between. I’ve had gym memberships off and on for about 12 years. I’ve worked with personal trainers, life coaches, body workers of all types and styles. I’ve gone drug free, alcohol free, chemical free. For about a year I used only baking soda and fresh ground sage as deodorant. I stopped using toothpaste and instead brushed with only chalk and sea salt water. If anyone ever mentions the Lemonade cleanse to me again – I will smack them in the face on the spot. No joke.

My personal health and well-being, despite all these fad diets, extreme healing paths and fanatical protests – “No, THIS is the way to health! No, THIS IS REALLY the way to health!” – my personal health and body well-being did not really start to heal until only just recently. Because I stopped trying to figure out who or what of all these modalities and “ways of living” were right and wrong, and just started just listening to my body. I mean – really really listening.

Communicating Consciously

 

As you’ve probably noticed, our world is changing at an increasingly rapid pace. Everything seems to be happening faster and faster, and our perception of time and space is having to adjust to keep up with our mastery of technology. Things like email, instant messaging, text messaging, and video chatting are making it possible to communicate in ways that only a few years ago we couldn’t even dream of. Everything now seems to be happening instantaneously, or on-demand.

 

I remember when I was a little boy, my parents had an old fashioned crank phone in our basement hanging on the wall. I used to play with this odd, exotic device all the time, turning the crank, pulling the earpiece up to my head and speaking into the cone, hearing the crackle of the sparks inside as the electricity that made the phone work was created. Think of how miraculous it must have been in the olden times to be able to communicate with someone from another city without having to write a letter and have it delivered by post! This old phone seemed so ancient when we purchased our first “Cobra” cordless phone…
