Nothing spells magic like autumn.
Its a time to harvest what weve
sown throughout the year. Its a
time for spiritual exploration, and
celebrating life and death.
In this issue we explore an
experience with spirit as John
Holland shares the many faces of
spirit.
All Souls Day or Halloween is a
great time of mystical magic, so
in this issue we share what a lot
of people want to know: How to
conduct a Seance. There is nothing
to be afraid of when you want
to reach out to the spirit world.
Remember spirit is energy and
cannot be destroyed it can only
change, it has no beginning or
end. So do that seance youve been
talking about with confidence.
With the harvest comes
abundance, or at least thoughts of
abundance. We offer a look at Angel

Our Creator made everything
abundant, and is constantly cre-
ating new forms of abundance.
Abundance is so natural that you
have to take extraordinary mea-
sures to prevent its flow! In this
book, youll learn to identify and
stop those sabotaging behaviors so
that you can enjoy a flow of abun-
dance that you can share with your
loved ones and your favorite char-
ities. Youll learn about the Divine
contract that ensures you will be
abundantly supported while you
fulfill your life purpose.
You, like everyone, have a very im-
portant life purpose that only you
can fulfill. It is a service that you
agreed to perform in this lifetime
to help others. Your purpose is a
career or activity that you naturally
enjoy and find fulfilling. It usually
revolves around something you
dream about, and admire in others
in that field.
In our travels around the world,
weve met thousands of talented
individuals who dream of fulfilling
their life purpose as a healer, artist,
teacher, and so forth. They dream
of helping children, the environ-
ment, women, or a cause thats dear
to them.
Tragically, many people who would
be devoting themselves to helpful
causes find their time and energy
diverted to jobs that are meaning-
less or toxic to them. They only
keep these jobs to pay the bills.
Additionally, the wealth in the
world seems to be disproportion-
ately distributed. Unfortunately,
some of the highly wealthy are
using their financial power in ways
that are hurtful to people, animals,
and the environment.
We hold a vision of spiritually
minded, ethical, and loving people
manifesting enough wealth and
worldly influence to invest in help-
ing people, animals, and the envi-
ronment. We envision people who
are more concerned with leaving
the world a better place than with
personal gain.
Imagine having enough money to
donate to charitable causes and to
help your family. Imagine never
again having to worry about mon-
ey. Imagine feeling safe and secure
financially. Well, you can manifest
these imaginings into reality. Thou-
sands of people have already done
so, and you can, too!
We decided to write this book to
share with you how you can man-
ifest all of the support that you
need in order to devote yourself to
your life purpose. You dont need
to suffer to make money! You can
focus on giving of service, and still
take care of your responsibilities.
Whether you need more money;
more time, confidence, ideas, con-
nections, or opportunities; or some
other resource, we will help you to
tap into your natural abundance.
The term Angels of Abundance
refers to the particular angels who
ensure that our Divine mission
here on Earth isnt hampered by
lack. The angels know that we need

material support to fulfill our life purpose, and they
are able to help us with this support. Theres nothing
wrong with asking Heaven to help us with finances and
other material necessities so that we can devote our-
selves to helping and healing others.
The first time that I (Doreen) met the Angels of Abun-
dance was when I was giving a reading for someone
at a workshop in Colorado. The woman stood up and
asked how to move forward with her life purpose. She
complained that she had no time to begin the healing
career that she dreamed of because all of her hours and
energy were poured into a job that gave her no satis-
faction and only paid the bills.
I immediately saw a cluster of angels around her who
signaled that they were helping her specifically with
unlocking her financial trap so that she could do
healing work. These angels were very fast-moving and
appeared to be detoxing her energy field from worries
that exacerbated her woes. They reminded me of work-
ers in an apple orchard, but instead of picking fruit,
they were taking away clumps that appeared greasy
and dirty. They explained that the clumps were the
culmination of her continual worries and frustration
energies. I knew they were specialists, and their name
entered my mind as Angels of Abundance, which I
relayed to her.
Using pantomime and words I heard verbally and as
thoughts, the Angels of Abundance told me that her
financial trap stemmed from her overspending. She
was seriously in credit-card debt, the angels told me,
because she was trying to lessen her feelings of frustra-
tion through shopping sprees. The woman confirmed
this as true. The Angels of Abundance continued with
the message that the compulsive shopping was her
attempt to fill an inner void and emptiness. This empty
feeling arose from being unfulfilled because she wasnt
working on her purpose. The sad and ironic cycle was
that she had to continue working at her unfulfilling job
in order to pay the bills that were triggered by her job
being unfulfilling.
The woman started crying as she nodded in agreement.
She, like everyone, had already heard her angels mes-
sages. (We all do!) She knew that her shopping was out
of control and that the interest payments on her credit
cards were keeping her trapped kin an unfulfilling job.
She promised to seek debt-relief counseling and to cut
up her extra credit cards to avoid the temptation to
shop for unneeded items. She also heard her angels
guidance about healthful ways to fill her inner empti-

ness, such as prayer, meditation, time in nature, cre-
ative outlets, and conducting healing work part-time.
Since this reading, Ive connected with the Angels of
Abundance on behalf of many clients and students,
and have learned their lessons, which are included in
this book. Ive seen the angels clearing away the energy
clumps from financial worries and resentments. They
look like greasy balls of oil, like something youd find
under a car. Not a pretty thing to have in your energy
field, especially since they attract the very thing that
youre worried about!
With the help of the Angels of Abundance, you can
release these toxic energies and avoid financial worries.
In addition to these specialized angels, you can also
call upon these archangels for support:
Archangel Raphael, the healing angel who
supports our physical, emotional, and mental health
so that we have enough energy to work on our life
purpose. Archangel Raphael also guides and supports
healers and would-be healers in their education and
practices.
Archangel Michael, who protects and clears us
from the effects of fear and worry. Michael also knows
the details of our life purpose and can give us specific
guidance about the next step to take upon our path.
Archangel Metatron, who helps us understand
and work with the universal energies, including instant
manifestation, and how to bend time in our favor.
Archangel Raziel, who can clear away blocks
and unconscious fears based in past-life memories.
Archangel Jophiel, who helps elevate and beau-
tify our thoughts so that we attract the most beautiful
experiences.
This is a book about the lessons weve learned and the
messages weve received from the Angels of Abun-
dance. Now we want to teach you what the Angels of
Abundance have taught us. Everyone can master and
apply these techniques quickly.
All the information within this book is inherently
known by each of us. We come to this planet with this
knowledge but gradually forget it. However, not every-
one forgets it at the same speed. The information can
also be retained and relearned through meditation and
disciplined prayer. In addition, nearly all of it can be
acquired by watching children or by reading ancient
texts in new ways. Some people would rather have the
information presented simply and without dogma, and
we will try our best to do so.
One very important fact that bears repeating is that

Fall Issue 15

all of us have the power within us to be as abundant-
ly supported as we desire. Not one of us needs to be
downtrodden and beset with poverty for a single day
longer. We can all earn as much money as we could
ever need, without having to sell our souls in the pro-
cess. And we dont have to act in a devious or unethi-
cal manner to obtain wealth. In fact, acting in such a
way ensures that whatever wealth is accumulated will
leave the unethical person.
Some people in poverty-stricken cultures may never
have the opportunity to learn this wisdom. Even if
someone tried to teach them, they might not believe
in the possibility of a better life. So, we are praying that
as you use the principles in this book, you will share
your newfound wealth with others who are less for-
tunate. In fact, sharing is a part of the lessons that the
Angels of Abundance have emphasized, as youll soon
read. Throughout this book, we use spiritual terms
such as God, Heaven, the Creator, the universe, and
the Divine Spirit. Feel free to modify these terms and
use whatever is aligned with your personal or religious
beliefs. After all, they all essentially mean the same
thing: love.
Angels of Abundance is for those who want the free-
dom to leave toxic jobs, relationships, and other situ-
ations so that they can devote themselves to healing
and helping work.
Finally, this book is especially for those who, upon
first glancing at it for sale, thought, Thats too expen-
sive! By the time you complete this book, thoughts of
lack and limitation should have left your conscious-
ness and vocabulary.
We pray for many blessings on the journey youre

about to undertake. The person you are as you read
this Introduction wont be the same one reading the
Afterword. You wont be able to finish this book with-
out undergoing an epiphany that will give you the tools
to truly manifest your desires. If you dont believe us,
just read on. Youll find that youll soon possess the
confidence and knowledge needed to attain everything
you yearn forand more!

I n their travels around the globe, Doreen

Virtue and her son Grant (the best-selling

the physical world operates.
Doreen and Grant wrote this book to show
you how Heaven can give you material and

your life purpose and manifest everything

 6 Common
Myths About
Psychic
Abilities
by Tana Hoy
18 Psychic Guidepost
I
f youre like many people
Ive met, you may ask Am
I psychic? Many have
misgivings because of
societys biases, or you may have
doubts that you have what it takes
to be a psychic.
So, first things first

Am I psychic? This is a very

common question that Id like to
clarify. Everyone has the innate
abilities and the potential to do
psychic wonders. So yes, everyone
is psychic, but not everyone has
the mindset or determination to

actually develop their gifts.
Many individuals simply put
their psychic powers on the shelf
to gather dust because of certain
myths that surround such powers.
Myth 1: Psychic gifts are only
for a chosen few
As Ive mentioned earlier,
everyone is born with psychic
powers. These abilities are strongest
in childhood, but slowly wane
because kids are often discouraged
from even mentioning them!
However, some kids do manage to
retain their psychic powers over the
years.
Most peoples psychic powers
lay dormant for years, but they
can reawaken them with the right
training and practice, and anyone
can develop them if they really
want to.
Myth 2: Psychic powers are
evil
Psychic senses dont involve using
your five physical senses , which is
why they are often misunderstood,
and because people often fear
what they dont understand, many
conclude that using such powers is
Yes everyone is psychic
but not everyone
has the mindset or
determination to
develop their gifts
unnatural and evil, saying that it comes from evil forces. But psychic
senses are a natural part of every human, just like the five physical senses.
They are not to be feared, and certainly arent evil.
Myth 3: Its scary being psychic
While its true that psychics, especially psychic mediums, communicate
with the spirit world doesnt mean its a scary experience! Thats a myth
exaggerated in Hollywood! In fact, communicating with non-physical
beings like angels and fairies is a tranquil experience because of the
positive energies they exude.
Myth 4: All psychics see visions
You know how some people excel in different fields, such as sports,
performing arts, visual arts, science, and the like? Well, its the same in the
psychic world. Some people have very keen psychic visions (clairvoyance),
while others are more inclined to hear, smell, and feel vibrations. So, no,
its not true that all psychics see visions, because some are more adept at
using their other psychic senses.
Myth 5: Psychics can spy on anyone, anytime, anywhere
Psychics dont use their abilities to spy on people. It would be very
draining to do so, since tuning in to other individuals energy vibrations
can be taxing. Also, psychics have a life to live, too (were humans, after
Fall Issue 19
all), and psychically watching another person is also an
intrusion of their privacy.
Psychics have an easier time receiving insights about
you during readings because you give them access to
your energy.
Myth 6: Psychics know everything
Just because psychics can sense information from
the spiritual realm doesnt mean that they know
everything, such as the winning lottery numbers,
because the future is not set in stone, and it can change
based on peoples decisions and actions.
Major Blocks In Psychic Development
Skepticism is one of the biggest hindrances in
discovering, using, and developing your psychic skills.
Its not because you dont have the power because
everyone does, but its because your mind is blocked by
doubts.
The good news is, you dont have to be an all-out
believer to be successful in your psychic development.
In fact, just an interest in developing your abilities is
good enough to start with.
Contrary to popular
belief, psychics dont
know everything!
20 Psychic Guidepost
Steps For Developing
Your Psychic Talents
If youre serious about developing your psychic skills,
then there are certain things that are necessary to do
this.
* Having intention. Wanting to develop your psychic
powers is a good start, but you actually need to intend
to do it. This means that your desire must go deeper
than just merely wishing for it to happen.
* Having motivation. You need to keep yourself
motivated to continue training, even if sometimes,
your progress may seem a bit slow.
* Time and energy. You need to set aside time to
meditate and practice. Psychic development doesnt
happen in an instant, nor will you see much progress if
you practice only when you feel like it.
* Having willingness. You need to be willing to open
your mind to sense the psychic messages that come
your way. This also means that you need to relax your
skepticism and be open to whatever you may discover.
* Learn to be aware. Awareness is one of the most
important factors that you need to develop in order
to use your psychic powers. You need to be conscious
of your physical, as well as spiritual surroundings.
 Discover your Strongest
Psychic Gifts
Learning how to relax your mind through meditation,
which opens the way for sharper awareness.

* Discover your strongest psychic gift. As mentioned

earlier, not all psychics have psychic vision. If youre
not seeing images in your minds eye, then youll need
to explore your psychic hearing, or your ability to
feel other peoples emotions. Once you discover your
strongest psychic ability, you can focus on developing
that, then move on to enhancing your other abilities.

* Overcome your fears. You need to get past your

fear of making mistakes. Fear is as big a block as
skepticism, but you can overcome it as you continue
practicing.

Remember, psychic development is not a light switch

that you just flip on for it to work. Its a continuous
process that requires your patience and determination.
It also requires you to be relaxed, so try not to
pressure yourself, or force yourself to produce results.
Just allow yourself to open up naturally and, with
practice and commitment, your psychic abilities will
bloom in no time.
Americas Foremost Psychic
Tana Hoy was born with a very rare psychic gift. He
not only has the ability to hear the voices of Spirit
Guides, Guardian Angels, Ascended Masters, and
loved ones on the other side, but he can also see them,
and talk with them!
Ever since he was a little boy, his earliest memories
are of talking and playing with his invisible friends. He
later came to understand that these invisible friends
were Guardian Angels, Spirit Guides, fairies, elves, and
even his loved ones on the other side.
When Tana receives messages from Guides and
Angels during a psychic reading, he describes it as

 Inward
Focus
by Jamie Schab
24 Psychic Guidepost
 Focus on the benefits of
Introspection
I
nward introspection might
include asking questions like:
What are my goals? What is
my focus for my career? What
one topic would I like to learn
deeper? What do I really want?
What really makes me happy?
These are just examples, maybe
you have already asked these
questions, maybe you have only
visited the surface of them. Maybe
you have a different question to ask
yourself. In any instance, creating
a quiet space for that personal
inward focus, and listening to what
personal question comes up for you
is the importance. Our questions
keep us growing, learning, and
evolving.
Then be still and listen to what
comes up. Open your heart and be
receptive. The answers will come
up, as you are ready to receive
them.
On the mental note: clear
thinking, openness to new ideas,
and the ability to relax all are
important mental virtues to
cultivate. You may accomplish these
by allowing yourself to experience
the quiet, directed mind that has
evolved in the Eastern cultures
through centuries of meditation.
By this practice of turning off the
thinking mind just being - you
can balance yourself and be aware
of both the conscious, rational
thought, directed toward the
outside world (active mode) and
the creative, space oriented (all
is one), visual perceptions of the
inner world (receptive mode).
When I relax, focus and get quiet
I will revisit a question months or
even years later, just to see if there
is any more depth to the answer.
Often there will be, and from that
I can continue to develop myself.
This has proven for me to be
helpful, and I hope that it helps you
too. Our bodies respond with the
changes of the seasons and with all
we come in contact with. Even our
thoughts. Allow this season to open
your inward focus, and see what
happens!

with the dictates of the Soul, and of eliminating these
faults by developing the opposing virtues.An honest
self examination will disclose to us the nature of our
errors. Our spiritual advisors, true physicians, and
intimate friends should all be able to assist us to obtain
a faithful picture of ourselves, but the perfect method
of learning this is by calm thought and meditation, and
by bringing ourselves to such an atmosphere of peace
that our Souls are able to speak to us through our
conscience and intuition, and to guide us according to
their wishes. If we can only set aside a short time every
day, quiet alone, and in as quiet place as possible, free
from interruption, and merely sit or lie quietly, either
keeping the mind blank or calmly thinking of ones
work in life, it will be found after a time that we get
great help at such moments and, as it were, flashes of
knowledge and guidance will be given to us.

 How to Conduct
Your Own

Sance
34 Psychic Guidepost
by Prince Petropia

Images by Charmed Wiki

Fall Issue 35

A
re you interested in mediumship? Wish
to contact a deceased relative? Want to
communicate with a spirit haunting your
house? Or are you just too curious about
theotherworld? If you answered yes to any of these
questions, then this article is a must-read. Bear with
me as I guide you through the step-by-step procedure
for conducting a seance to communicate with the spirit
world, as well as share some tips and discuss the pros
and cons of mediumship.
Before we begin...
Before you begin there are a few things to consider.
First, what is your purpose for holding the seance?
This is the one thing that will determine how you
conduct the entire seance. If it is to contact a deceased
relative, you already know who you are trying to call.
On the other hand, if you want to communicate with
an entity haunting your house, you dont really know
who you are summoning, and whether it is good or
bad, so proceed with caution. Either way, it is better for
amateurs to hire a professional medium to guide them
through the whole procedure. On the other hand, if
illumination is your quest, you may want to do it on
your own. But be sure never to ask silly questions like
who is going to win the next days soccer tournament,
as this only angers the spirit. Understand that the spirit
has to cross worlds to heed to your call, and this is
very painful. Thus you dont want to anger it with such
curiosities.
Some Basic Rules
For holding any seance, there must be a minimum
of three people to participate. Out of these, only
36 Psychic Guidepost
You cannot simply

in a godly voice...
one will function as the medium, leading the task of
summoning and communicating with the spirit, while
others will only follow his lead. Now that you have the
man-power, consider how you will be contacting the
spirit.
Contacting a Spirit
You cannot simply expect a spirit to boom in a godly
voice and answer all your questions once you have
conjured it. You must provide it with a suitable means
of communication, such as:
Ouija Board: A very popular method is using an
Ouija board, which is a flat board engraved with
several English alphabets, numericals, messages like
hello, goodbye, yes and no. A heart shaped
movable indicator called a planchette is rotated with
fingers to point at letters and spell words on the board.
The board also contains some images and symbols.
The ghost, once conjured, uses telekinesis to rotate the
pointer and answer your questions.
Pendulum: A simple pendulum can be used for
divination too. The medium holds the pendulum in
hand and asks questions to the spirit. If the pendulum
swings sideways, the spirit is saying no, while a back
and forth swing on the pendulum indicates a yes,
and swinging round and round means the spirit is
uncertain.
 Spirit Rapping: A very old and efficient way where the
medium asks the ghost a question, and then instructs
it to answer by making rapping noises by tilting
thetableto a side. For instance, a single rap means yes.
Similarly, complex raps can be used to spell out words
and complete sentences.
Preparing the Environment
Now its time to ready the place and conduct the
seance. Gather the participants andchoose a little,
empty room where you wont be disturbed. Now
choose a round or oval table around which you all
must sit while holding the ritual. A round or oval table
is preferred to a rectangular one as this fulfills the
requisite for a circle needed in a seance. Now place
some candles, light them up and put off all other
lights. Place some aromatic flowers, bread and soup
on the table to attract the spirit. Also, make sure your
preferred contact method (Ouija board or otherwise)
is at hand.
Holding the Seance
Now all the people must sit around the table, hold
each others hand making a circle and close their eyes.
It is good to begin by saying a prayer, which helps
cleanse the environment and emanate positivity. Now
everyone must concentrate on the spirit they wish
to summon and then slowly ask the spirit to join
you, very calmly and welcomingly. Now wait a bit.
Now ask the spirit to provide a sign of its presence.
Dont ask for a specific sign, just be open to receive
any signal. When you know that the spirit is present,
try to communicate. Begin slowly with simple yes
or no questions, and proceed little by little to the
more complex questionnaire. Always be calm and
respecting. However, be warned, at the very first sign
of any rudeness from the spirits side politely ask it to
leave, if it doesnt abide, forcefully end the session by
blowing off the candles and switching the lights on.

Once done, thank the spirit for its help and slowly end
the session.
Tips and Warnings
Although a seance may be very enlightening, there
are some hazards and caution is necessary. Dont do
anything to disrespect the spirit and make it angry.
Dont force anyone to join a seance against their will
and weak-minded folks and children should be kept
away. For first-timers, its better to hire a professional,
the entity you are calling isnt necessarily good.
Professional mediums know how to deal with such
situations. Sometimes demonic entities may try to
harm you with misinformation, such as telling you that
you will die the very night, giving you a heart-attack
out of fear and fulfilling its desire. Thus, be warned, be
alert, and most importantly, know what you are doing.
On that note, I will leave you to your successful seance
and newfound illumination.
Please note, although, that I am not a medium myself,
and therefore, it is not possible for me to personally
test the effectiveness of these methods. Note that All

any damages incurred, nor guarantee the effectivity of
the processes discusses, shall you decide to try them.

Ouija Board
Superstitions
Here are the most popular Ouija board superstitions
and urban legends floating around on the Internet.
Dont believe it!
~Avoid playing with the Ouija board if you arent
feeling well because youll become possessed
~Dont ask about God
~Dont ask when youre going to die
~Dont play alone
~Dont ask where the gold is buried
~Evil spirits might ask women to do odd or
unsavory things; ignore them
~Failure to properly dispose of the Ouija board will
cause spirits to haunt you
~If the planchette starts counting down the
numbers or letters, letting it finish will release
spirits from the board
~If you burn your Ouija board, it screams
~If you dont close your session properly, the Ouija
board spirit will continue to haunt you
~Placing a pure silver coin on the Ouija board will
keep evil spirits away
~Spirits or demons will use the Ouija board to try
to oppress or possess you
~Using the Ouija board will allow the devil to enter
the world
~When the planchette moves to the four corners of
the board, youve contacted an evil spirit.
The only dark force playing this game is
a curious cat! Whether any or all of these
superstitions surrounding the Ouija board are true
is something well leave to you. Connecting to
the other side with a Ouija board is still the most
reliable way to hold a seance.

e all know that walking is a popular
form of exercise, but did you know
it can also be part of a wonderful
meditative practice? Walking
meditation combines the benefits of meditation such
as emotional balance, physical well-being and spiritual
connection with the physical benefits of exercise. As
an added bonus, walking allows us to connect with the
outdoors and the wonders of our natural environment.
Even though its a form of exercise, walking meditation
provides just as much relaxation and rejuvenation as
sitting meditation.
Walking meditation is perfect for busy people who
dont have time to do a sitting practice, or who walk
already as part of their work-out regime. Many
people report that it is easier for them to meditate
while moving instead of being over-focused on
their thoughts. Unlike sitting meditation, walking
meditation uses our eyes, ears, balance, and senses
actively. It strengthens our mindfulness of physical
sensations and focuses body awareness.
In Zen Buddhism, walking meditation is called kinhin
. The character for kin means to go through (like
a thread through a loom) and the character hin
means to walk; walking back and forth. In temples,
a wooden fish was struck with a mallet providing a
tempo for the meditator to follow. Since World War
II, 13 Japanese monks have completed the Sennichi
Kaihogyo a 1,000 day walking meditation, up to 26
miles per day in 100-200 consecutive day chunks for
seven years!

The Wonders
of Walking
Meditation
by Willow Brilliance

40 Psychic Guidepost
 meditation walk during rush hour traffic or in the heat
of the day wont be as easy as during a quiet time of
day when the traffic, noise and weather are mildest. As
with sitting meditation, many people choose morning
or evening.
2) You can do a walking meditation at any time,
almost anywhere in the world; even on your lunch-
time walk. Find a location to walk where you can walk
easily and comfortably for 10-15 minutes. Flat terrain
free of inclines or street crossings work best, but any
safe place will do. If you dont have a path nearby,
you can do a more traditional walking meditation
that involves walking a short (30 or 40 foot) length
repetitively. A back yard, or even inside your own
home would work.
3) Wear comfortable clothing and footwear that
allows you to be visible and allows for unrestricted
movement.

Step-by-step

1) Before you start, spend a few moments centering

yourself. Stand up straight and tall and feel the center
of gravity and weight in your body expand downwards
like the roots of a tree until you feel solidly connected
to the ground. Take some deep breaths.

2) Begin to walk a slow casual pace. If youre used

to exercise walking (or rushing during your errands)

Walking meditation not only has a rich history in the

East, but also in the West. I first became intrigued by
this practice when I visited a labyrinth path in the UK.
A labyrinth is not a maze; instead it has one winding
path leading in and out of the center. As early as 350
AD, Christians walked a labyrinth in the Basilica of
St Reparatus in Algeria for the purpose of prayer and
focus. [If youre lucky enough to live near a labyrinth,
or if you have the space to make one, I highly
recommend taking the winding pathway as a template
for your meditation]

Here is how you can do your own walking

meditation:

Preparation

1) Pick a comfortable time of day to walk. A

Fall Issue 41
try a much slower gait than youre used to at first.
The goal here is to relax and be mindful, not to exert
yourself. Some people report that the slower they
walk, the more the meditative experience is enhanced.
Others walk at a fast pace, but start slow until you find
your comfort zone.
3) Pull your attention towards your heels striking
the ground, towards your breath moving in concert
with your legs, towards the swinging of your arms and
hips. Within a few minutes you will start to observe a
rhythm and you will feel more and more aware of your
body moving through space.
4) If you lose focus during this time, and if your
mind starts to wander, gently re-focus on your unique
rhythm of breath, movement and stride. As with any
meditation practice its totally normal to get distracted
and for it to feel a little awkward at first. In this
practice, you want to notice the world around you, but
if your thoughts start to wander off - redirect them
gently to your surroundings.
4) Your senses will be heightened, your eyes
open, ears open and receptive. Listen to the birds,
airplanes, or lawn-mowers you hear in the distance.
Allow yourself to notice every sensation that comes
through your senses. Allow your attention to swing
comfortably between your breath, the movement of
your body, the sights around you, and the sounds you
hear.
5) Walk without a destination in mind. Allow your
mind to simply travel back to the rise and fall of your
breath, and the rise and fall of your feet.

Why I Love
Welch
Witches
I
found myself apartment hunting in Eureka,
California with my then husband, a short blond-
haired blue-eyed German man with a quick
temper, mood swings, and a 186 IQ. At the time,
he was very dear and fascinating to me, and our life
together was enchanted.
I had decided to take some time off from the law,
in order to see whether we could set up a simpler,
more down-to-earth, self-sufficient life in Northern
California. The plastic fantastic Los Angeles life had
worn thin; cosmic stirrings began directing my inner
soul.
We knocked on the door of one listing and there
appeared at the entrance a wiry, thin blond-haired
woman and her pirouetting, fairylike, nine-year-old

daughter. I wish my memory for names were better.
The woman escorted us up a tall flight of stairs,
commenting off and on about the apartment and its
features. She grew quiet as we reached the top of the
landing.
I realized, quite astonished, that she was extremely
telepathic. Somehow, without asking any questions,
answers were occurring to me. I saw a reference to
something Celtic in a small frame on the wall beside
the stairs just before the landing. In an instant,
somehow the question uttered only inside my head
Youre a witch, and its okay, right?was asked and
answered. Then she spoke aloud.
That was a gift from my mother. She was Welsh.
I learned my craft from her. I replied mentally: I
understand; youre a healer. You help people.
I couldnt resist. Here was someone open enough to
admit things and talk about them. I asked her point
blank: Why are people afraid of witches?
Because its the power; its the POWER. Women
arent supposed to have any power. Thats all.
Satisfied for the moment, she knew intuitively I
wanted to know more. All the way, my then spouse
remained taciturn and silent. He always wanted
people to realize how modern he was. He totally
accepted everyone. He himself had felt like a deviant
all of his life. He felt safe with people who had been
marginalized by the culture.
She sat down with us for tea. Everything seemed so
magical in her place. Plants vined out of corners. Cats
leaped up on tables then curled and slept, purring
loudly. The teapot was a plump, painted porcelain pot
covered in tiny pink flowers. There were knickknacks
and crystals, and all of them seem correctly placed
and filled with some significance. Her home felt safe,
lavish, warm and welcoming.
The woman with the dried, shoulder-length, slightly
unruly white-blondish hair said to us, I want to tell
you a story. Theres one other tenant who lives here in
the basement. Hes a young mana Japanese man
who rides a motorcycle. He was cleaning the bike one
day. The rags had gasoline on them, and they caught
fire and it got out of control rather quickly. Ninety-five
percent of his body was covered in third-degree burns.
He refused to go to the hospital, because he was afraid.
He had only recently arrived in this country. His
friend had heard about me and brought him to me.
For three months I put him in the tub and bathed
him in herbal preparations. I placed poultices over his
entire body. I kept doing this every day, and his skin
got better and better until, after about three months,
he was almost completely healed. You can tell he was
injured, but his skin looks really good considering
how severely he was burned. Thats how we use our
medicines. We use our plants to heal.
I knew her story was genuine; I never doubted her for
a moment. The high vibration and loving intention
of this woman were undeniable. I found myself
wanting to be just like herto learn about plants and

 Which would you choose?
Love or Fear
H
ave you ever felt that there are times in
your life where fear is holding you back?
You are not alone in these thoughts.
There is a parable about a man who has
awoken in the middle of the night to find a poisonous
snake coiled next to his leg at the foot of his bed. He
lies awake all night, frozen in terror, praying that
the snake wont bite him. As dawn breaks, and light
begins to shine on his bed, he finally realizes that its
not a snake at all. Its a belt he forgot to put away when
he went to bed. Once he knows the truth, the snake
disappears, the memory of the night is reframed, the
fear is gone and he is filled with relief. Until he had
seen the light, as it were, his imagination got the better
of him and he imagined his own demise at the hands
of the snake. When you shine a light on fear, you can
make unconscious emotions conscious and see them
for what they are. So how do we work with fears in
our everyday lives? There are countless examples in
our lives every day, from the moment we wake up to
the moment we fall asleep. When our pen runs out of
ink, when our car breaks down, when a relationship
ends. We can use everything that happens to us as an
opportunity for waking up. Instead of trying to fight it
we can embrace it. In the first moment when we notice
our fear and anxiety beginning to rise, we can stop
what we are doing and take a few minutes to tune into
our bodily sensations. We may notice that our shoulder
muscles feel tense, our breathing may become rapid
and shallow, our heart rate may speed up, and so on.
We can begin first by tuning into these feelings, and
acknowledging that they are happening. We can begin
to deliberately calm these reactions by breathing slowly
and deeply, relaxing our muscles and mentally staying
in the present moment. Resist the temptation to let
the thoughts race ahead and worry about what may
happen, or what it might mean. All of those are merely
perceptions not necessarily whats really happening.
A technique I really love to use is this: Imagine your
thoughts passing through your mind like clouds in a
soft blue sky. Allow each cloud to drift on by without
attaching to them. Then notice the spaces between the
clouds. The above is a simple practice of mindfulness,
where we can open our hearts and minds beyond limit.
The result is we cease to cause harm to ourselves and
others. We dissolve the sense of dualism between us
and them, between this and that, and here and there.
We can train in letting the story lines go. We cannot

was there.
be in the present and run our story lines at the same
time. Every chaotic situation is our teacher. Everything
that arises is a manifestation of wisdom. Love is the
cure for fear. In fact, fear and love cannot co-exist
when one is there the other is absent. The way of
the heart is through our own doorway of fear and
separateness. There are always new horizons to explore
when the hearts calling is heard. It is is a life path of
soul discovery that can only lead to the recognition of
our oneness. As our learning expands and deepens,
so does our connection to the divine or Universal
oneness, and so does our natural ability as co-creators.
Living with love will open you up to a world full of
exciting adventure and experiences. Fear, on the other
hand, keeps you trapped and fully understanding the
love that you are. So if you find things in your life
right now that you do not love, stop giving so much
of your attention to them. What we give our attention
to expands. Start finding some things, it can be one
thing that you can love about these situations. From
this state of awareness then focus your energy on all
the other aspects of your life that you do love. From
here you begin to create your own experience. Think
of the message in this ancient wisdom: Fear knocked
at the door. Love answered and no one was there. As a
wise person once said, Fear is a rusty lock on the gates
of adventure!

by Laura Wilson-Brown
T
he ins and outs of being an Empath are
quite lengthy. To connect with the feelings
of strangers, those you love, items you come
across and even places can be exceptionally
overpowering! I often smile and shake my head when
people proclaim their desire to be an Empath. Its
a wonderful gift, dont get me wrong. BUT it is one
which brings with it a variety of challenges that must
be dealt with accordingly. Empathic abilities are deeply

moving but require certain precautions so they are
used safely.
It is my belief that there are many more Empaths
walking the Earth today than who realize it. This
seems to be because many people have the unique
ability to pick up on the emotions and feelings of
others but often times chalk it up to being overly
emotional, too sympathetic and many feel they are
teetering on the edge of insanity as they run the

gambit of one emotion to the next without warning or
much space!
In truth there are a few signs that you could be
Empathic and though this list is far from extensive,
it gives you an idea of some of the most common
attributes.
Do you:
~Get easily worked up when watching TV or movies?
Whether funny or sad you feel a physical expression of
the emotion you are watching on the screen.
~Find crowds and public events overwhelming? Like
being in the middle of a 3-ring circus and having
everyone throw their various emotions at you public
places can be an emotional minefield for you.
~Do people naturally feel drawn to you for advice and
insight because you have a keen ability to understand
what they are going through on a soul level?
~Do you feel instantly whether someone is good
people when you first meet them? Empaths have a
keen ability to get accurate first impressions.
~Can you sense when there has been an emotional
shift to a room or situation? Empaths often times
can tell when something is lifting or changing. Even
walking into an empty room can give an Empath an
understanding of what took place before they entered.
~Do you find that you are a bit of a personality
chameleon; capable of adjusting to whom you are
around and never quite finding your type.
The list of signs is countless; however, this gives you
an idea of whether or not you should further explore
your own Empathic abilities. Furthermore you can see
how many ride the line between blessing and curse
when it comes to being able to so easily connect with
the emotionality of people, places, and even items.
One of the biggest assets for an Empath is self-
care. Because we have a strong tendency to attract
wounded birds and have a hard time saying no, even
when its in our best interest, we bend over backwards
to accommodate those in our lives who we feel need
us. This can leave us depleted physically, mentally and
emotionally. If we do not take the time for self-care we
will experience burn out which makes us susceptible to
illness, lethargy and even depression.
Here are some tips for self-care that also
will help protect you against overuse of your
own Empathic abilities.
~Take time for YOU. Shut off the phone, turn off
the computer and make YOUR needs a priority. Ask
yourself what you are currently feeling and how you
can fill your emotional, mental and physical banks.
~Meditate. This doesnt have to resemble something
you would see in a monastery and there is no right
or wrong way. What is important is to set up a small
amount of time when you will be undisturbed and
can simply sit in silence and listen to your breath.
Thoughts will come and they will go. Do not attempt to
control or manipulate them as this tends to exacerbate
their flow. Instead just take time to sit quietly which is
therapeutic in and of itself. If you prefer more structure
look into some guided meditations which will lead you
deeper down the rabbit hole of relaxation and self-
soothing.
~Cover your solar plexus. One of the places most
activated when our Empathic abilities are triggered
is our solar plexus. Its the emotional gateway,
essentially. By visualizing a protective shield around
your solar plexus (the space located just 3 fingers
width above your belly button) you can stop the flow
Fall Issue 59
of emotion for the time being. If you feel that you
require more immediate blocking or are not yet adept
at visualization than cover your hands over this area,
or use a book. Any block, be it visual/energetic or
physical will assist you in stopping the flow and having
a chance to ground and center yourself.
~Which brings us to grounding and centering. A
great way to remove unwanted emotions be them
yours or anothers is by visualizing them spilling from
our feet and into the ground. You can accompany this
visualization with a simple statement that you release
all negative, unwanted or foreign emotion and energy
into the ground to be cleansed and recycled for its
highest good. If you know the exact emotion that is
presently causing you troubles then say aloud that you
release it! Then visualize a root stemming from your
tailbone down deep into the Earth until you reach the
core and then visualize this energy traveling back up
through that root and into your body. Now consciously
draw all of that energy into your center once again,
nice and neatly contained.
~Lastly-cleanse! You can do this the old fashion way
with some hot water, maybe some bubbles, candles
and essential oils if you are feeling fancy (which is not

Wilson-
Brown

a bad way to self sooth on its own!) or you can grab
some sage from your local or online metaphysical
store and safely burn and waft the smoke around your
energetic body as well as your home if you feel so
inclined. You can look up more intricate statements
of intent or simply state aloud or internally that you
are cleaning and removing all unwanted energy and
emotions from your being and your space. Nothing
fancy-the intent is enough.
The bottom line is that if you feel a particular
resonance with some of the signs of being an Empath
you should begin to explore the topic more and see
how you can best strengthen your energetic and
emotional body. When not properly protected there
can be a very real downside to your Empathic skills.
The ability to help someone, however, through your
connection is a profound experience, unlike anything
else. By learning to diagnose and nurture your skills
while protecting yourself to safely use them you will
find great benefit comes to you on an internal level
as you are able to help those around you in intensely
poignant ways.

Between the worlds I stand in this sacred place.
All time is here and now.
As I leave this circle, the season shall have changed,
And I will have changed with it.
May I use the short time of Winter Finding
To draw the strength and power from within
As I quest for vision, understanding, and peace.

As the days grow colder, and the nights last longer,
May I remember the summer past.
With sunlight fading, and hearth inviting,
My memories will warm my soul.
From a season of hard work and hard play,
I hear Mothers voice calling me forward.
Pick up the Bell with your right hand, and ring thrice,
to toll the passing of the first 3 seasons of the year.
Now place it in your left hand and ring once to usher
in the 4th and last season of the year. Place the bell on
the altar.

How we react to suicide
and depression Article and photos
by Willow Brilliance

W
ith two recent tragedies in the news, the
loss of missing Oregon mother Jennifer
Huston, and beloved actor and comedian
Robin Williams, both to apparent hanging
suicide, something really important is emerging in the
commentaries on these events that is important to all of us
in the spiritual community: fear and ignorance about suicide
and depression.
Jennifer Huston put gas in her car and bought trail mix,
she loved her little boys with all her heart. Robin Williams
posted a heartfelt happy-birthday message to his daughter
Zelda in his last Instagram message. How could anyone do
these normal activities and then step through some invisible
doorway into death? That anyone, especially a parent,
could love and LEAVE a child is an unthinkable taboo to our

66 Psychic Guidepost

Robin Williams 1951-2014
society.
When I saw a video of Fox commentator Shep Smith,
veritably frothing with derision, calling Robin Williams
a coward (he later apologized), or when I saw a popular
blogger imply that suicide is simply a bad choice - I was
outraged at such inexcusable, gross insensitivity. But then
I realized that anger, rage and blame is a normal reaction to
loss and suicide and not just for family members or media
personalities.
Why does this happen? Most of us have some experience
with depression, clinical depression or a suicide attempt has
in some way touched our lives or that of a loved one. So how
can we suddenly turn into a fearful mob about this topic?
Havent those experiences made us more understanding?
Maybe not. Because we are afraid of death and endings, our
ego cant cope with the willing loss of life we scramble to
find logical questions and logical answers, and in the absence
of those findings we find rage: HOW DARE SHE? HOW
DARE HE?! We feel hurt and angry ourselves or on the
behalf of family members left behind. But there isnt logic
in the depth of depression. Depression is a disease that
impacts people of all walks of life, from every age, from
every economy, from every life circumstance. Sometimes
the system intended to help people in trouble is not a wide
enough net, and the way our culture and country deals with
the reality emotional trauma leaves much to be desired.
Within the walls of major depression, everything is tilted
and the things that make sense to us when were rational
and not depressed do not make sense within the darkness
of that pain. Its not uncommon for someone suffering
from suicidal thoughts to be poised between letting go of life
and wanting to continue it indeed, many survivors realize,
mid-leap that they want to live. There is no rationality that
makes a parent leave a child, or buy trail mix, or gas the car.
There is only a disease. It is tragic and it cannot add up
or make sense to our rational minds; but the truth remains
someone can very much love their family and become
a victim of depression. They are not a coward trying to
hurt the ones they love, they are sick. By the same token,
those who are suffering from depression dont want to make
others uncomfortable. They didnt choose it, and theyre not
intentionally doing this to their families and friends. Persons
suffering from depression may not even seem outwardly
distressed, so our empathy can be hard to place. Suicide may
seem cowardly to us, but this fear deserves compassion and
help, not derision.
Blaming a victim of a disease makes no more sense than
blaming a cancer victim or broken-leg victim, but we may do
it anyway because we are so hurt, so afraid, so lost. Theres
another option. Instead, we could continue to allow our
compassion and empathy to rise up and defend the victim of
depression instead of our fear. Instead of trying to figure
out the spiritual and cosmological forces that will determine
the fate of a suicidal persons soul we could be reaching out
to those who live and breathe, to those who have passed with
love and kindness.
Fear is always an opportunity, in this case to educate
ourselves about how to deal with the realities of suicide
and to be compassionate to those who are experiencing
it. We can take suicide and depression seriously instead of
marginalizing it with blame and fear. We can reach out to
those who are suffering and to those who have experienced
loss. We can take care of our own mental well-being. We
can send love and light and compassion to Robin Williams, a
tremendous actor (O Captain, my Captain!) and to Jennifer
Huston and to those who have left this physical world in an
act of pain or fear. We can make the world safer for those
who are in high risk groups through acceptance, education
and outreach. (The elderly, those suffering with pain, illness
or trauma, veterans, those suffering from PTSD, LGTBQ
communities, moms, dads, those suffering from depression,
the list goes on and on).
If you or a loved one are facing depression, or considering
suicide, please get help. Your work here is still important.
If you are a loved one and you believe someone is in danger,
address the issue listen, talk, and do not wait. If danger is
imminent, call 911. Visit this website for more information

 Halloween Party Recipes
Spooky edibles for Halloween fun
Make witches fingers, or spider
cookies and ghost appetizers for your
party. Try a spooky spider web pizza
or freaky cocktails? These recipes are
easy, quick to make and to DIE for!
Here are some of the best Ive found
so far.
Halloween Baked Bloody Rats
I love allrecipes and they have a
great idea for meatloaf. This is the
creepiest and funniest meatloaf recipe
bar none!
Ingredients
2 pounds ground beef
1/2 onion, chopped
1 egg, beaten
1 cup dry bread crumbs
1 (1.25 ounce) packet meatloaf
seasoning mix
68 Psychic Guidepost
1 cup cubed Cheddar cheese
3 (10 ounce) cans tomato sauce
1 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 ounce uncooked spaghetti, broken
into fourths
1/2 carrot, cut into 1/8-inch thick
slices
1 tablespoon frozen green peas
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
F (175 degrees C).
2. In a large bowl, combine the
ground beef, onion, egg, bread
crumbs, and meatloaf seasoning. Use
your hands to mix until well blended.
Measure out 1/3 cupfuls of the meat
mixture and mold around a cube of
cheese like a meatball. Shape into
a point at one end and lengthen the
body a bit by rolling between your
hands. Place your rat into a shallow
baking dish, and continue with the
remaining meat. Insert pieces of unco-
oked spaghetti into the rounded end of
the rats to make tails.
3. In a medium bowl, stir together
the tomato sauce, sugar and Worce-
stershire sauce. Pour over the rats in
the dish and cover the dish with a lid
or aluminum foil.
4. Bake for 45 minutes in the pre-
heated oven. Uncover the dish and
continue to bake for another 20 to 30
minutes, basting occasionally with the
sauce to glaze the rats.
5. While the rats finish baking, heat
the peas and carrots in a small bowl in
the microwave for about 15 seconds.
6. Carefully transfer the rats to a
serving platter so that their delicate
tails dont fall off. Press peas into the
pointy end to make eyes, and insert
carrot slices to make ears.
