Pet Communication: What is Your Pet Thinking? (Plus a Giveaway!)

Category Animal communication, Mediumship

Want to know what your pet is thinking? You may need a pet psychic. Do you know what your pet is thinking?

Animals are pure souls of unconditional love. Anatole France once said, “Until one has loved an animal, a part of one’s soul remains unawakened.” I truly believe that to be true.

So, today I’m please to share an interview with a true lover of animals, pet psychic and medium Jeanne Miller. Jeanne has written several books about her experiences as a pet communicator. Her newest book is, “Pet Chatter” and she is here to tell us about it plus give away a digital copy to one lucky reader who leaves a comment!

 1. What made you want to become a pet medium and pet communicator?

 I’ve always loved animals and wanted to work with them. Because I can’t bear to see them in pain, the veterinary field wasn’t a good option for me. 

When I first saw The Pet Psychic show on Animal Planet, it struck me like a lightning bolt. Previous to that, I had no idea communication with animals was even possible.  At the time, I was in general psychic development, and it became clear to me that this was what I had been yearning for. 

 2. Aside from pet communication do you also read people?

 My original intention of entering into the psychic field was to work with people. It became clear over time though, that I was being drawn very strongly to the animals.  But I’ve found that in talking with people’s pets, I’m actually working with both the pet and their humans. So I have the best of both worlds.

 3. Your first book on this topic, “The Pet Psychic Diaries” was wonderful and I enjoyed it very much. What prompted you to write “Pet Chatter?”

Thank you so much. I’m so happy that you enjoyed it.  I’ve received many wonderful emails from people who have enjoyed my other book, “The Pet Psychic Diaries.” 

I noticed that the parts of the book they spoke of most often were the quotes from the animals. Because of this, I thought the readers might enjoy having a book of all animal quotes.  

I culled these from the email readings I’ve done over the last few years. Each chapter is about a different subject, some funny, some sad, some loving and spiritual. It was so much fun to write and I hope people enjoy hearing from these special babies.

 4. Is there one comment you hear most often from animals? And, what’s the funniest thing, most surprising or unusual thing you ever heard a pet say during a pet communication session?

 There are a few things that come up a lot. Many dogs speak with pride of their “job” of being the protectors of their family. Cats get very specific about what they want and don’t want in a toy. Surprisingly, many don’t want catnip on all of their toys. Horses talk about training issues. Birds often talk about not being understood and not understanding us.

The pets constantly surprise me with some of the comments they come out with. The one that really threw me for a loop was the dog who misunderstood what was happening when men came to mow the grass. 

He showed me a picture of them putting the mown grass into bags and loading it onto their truck.  He was so angry when he told me, “They are stealing our yard!”  That earned him a place in the chapter called, “Lost in Translation.”

5. What do pets want from their humans or want us to know? 

They mostly want the same things we want: To be loved, to be listened to, and to be respected.  What they generally would like us to know is how grateful they are when we allow them to be themselves and not take all the “wildness” out of them. 

Dogs love it when we let them sniff what they want. Cats love it when we let them jump up on furniture and tables.  But even if we don’t, they will find a way. As one cat recently told me, “I’m up on things a lot more than they know about.” 

6. What one or two things can pet owners do to try to communicate with their pets?

I always recommend spending quiet time with them. No TV, radio, phone off. Lean back, close your eyes and picture them in your head. Then talk to them.  They are amazing at reading our thoughts and I think people are in constant communication with their pets without really knowing it. 

Also, speak to them verbally.  They do understand most of what we say, so we must always remember to choose our words carefully. An overweight kitty I spoke to, had taken to hiding under tables when company came so she wouldn’t have to hear about how fat she was anymore.

7. Any last words? 

Before we part, I would like to thank my pet clients and readers for making my work so enjoyable. I would also like to let them know that  I’m currently working on “Pet Psychic Diaries Two” and hope to have it out by late summer, early fall. 

Thank you Angela. I enjoyed visiting with you today.  If anyone wants to reach me, I have a contact form on my site: www.thepetmedium.com

5 Encounters with Spirits: PbI Readers Share Their Stories

“While we are mourning the loss of our friend, others are rejoicing to meet him behind the veil.” –John Taylor

Portrait of Empress Elizabeth Alexeevna of Russia in Mourning
Today I am pleased to share 5 stories of encounters with the spirit of a loved one from Powered by Intuition readers.
.
Nothing touches us more than losing someone we love especially when it is a parent or grandparent. The grief can be unbearable.
.
The painful loss leaves a hole in our soul that cannot be filled. But sometimes we are lucky enough to be “visited” by the one we miss and this changes everything.
.
Suddenly upon being visited we are “healed” of our intense grief. We continue to miss them but we instantly feel so much better.
.
While they are not back for good we know that they aren’t gone forever either and that they continue to exist, and this gives us great hope and healing.
.
***********************
.
It was a foggy Wednesday morning around  2 am when I awoke from a deep sleep to see the most beautiful image of a woman at the end of my bed. She wore a long sleeved white gown  with a square neckline her dark wavy hair fell to her shoulders.
.
She looked down at my daughter lying next to me sleeping, her pale face  glowed  with a most beautiful and serene smile. I knew at once it was my mum. She had said she would come back to one of us when she passed. I’m so pleased she chose me.
.
She left as quick as she came leaving the room smothered in a loving energy.
.
–Annette Bullivant
.

*******************************

.

Since I was very young, I could sense spiritual presences.  The fact that our family moved several times during my childhood and that every house we lived in had at one time someone who passed away in it provided a lot of interesting little experiences, both good and bad. I’ve heard them talk, felt them tap my shoulder, and seen them carry things around the house in mischief.

.
My beloved father passed away just over 5 years ago.  Shortly after the day he passed, I saw faint images of him wherever I went.  I told a few family members, but they dismissed it as my imagination and grief.  But it didn’t feel like that at all.  And wherever I saw him, it was fleeting, and he was smiling–clearly, he was happy in the state he was now in, and despite being heartbroken, I accepted that.  I wanted him to know absolute happiness.  If anyone deserved it, he did.  After his burial, I didn’t see him anymore.
 .
Although I wasn’t able to fully grieve his passing as I feel I needed to–I had young children to care for–I was still very down for a few years.  I ached to see him, to talk to him, to in some way know the essence of him was still around somehow.  As much as I wanted that, I think, in hindsight, I was simply too down to sense it.  It was not until two years ago when something sort of impressed itself upon me that it was time to get up and live life again that I began sensing his energy.  
.
It started when one of my daughter’s toys–a play telephone–was left alone in the living room and said, “Hello?  Is anybody there?” and we’d never heard it say that before, nor ever again.  We wondered if it was him.  
.
Then, one day I was working on my truck (that used to be his) and encountered a problem I couldn’t seem to figure out.  I just said, “Dad, I sure could use your help.”  A short time later, the difficulty seemed to disappear and the answer came simply to me, almost out of the blue, without my thinking about it.  
.
Since then, whenever I get stuck on something or have to find something, I just ask him for help, and whatever it is I can’t find turns up within minutes.  I’m led directly to a spot that I would never think of looking, and sure enough, whatever it is, is there.  
.
It started to be sort of a humorous thing, because it was a little out of character for him, and of all the ways we could communicate, I wouldn’t have guessed this was going to be it.  But it happens without fail.  Sometimes I think he’s still being “The Dad” and coming to the rescue of his daughter.  
.
I was somewhat skeptical at first, but once I relaxed and let myself believe, it started to happen more often. I find myself talking to him more and more now, and for that matter, other elders I love dearly who physically left this world.  Despite what happens in my daily life, opening up that door has brought me much peace and insight and inspired me to do more than just exist.  
.

******************************
.
My papa passed back in 1998. I was blessed to be with him at his passing over. He and I still have a strong connection.
.
Just about every time I work outside in the yard, he is sitting on my porch and just grinning from ear to ear wearing his orange shaded glasses and shaking his head in disbelief at how much I am loving my “country Life.” He marvels at how much I am doing in my “country life style” such as filling 12 bird feeders, sawing logs for the fire pit, growing herbs and such. doing more and more organically all the time…
.
I can feel how much joy he has seeing all of this.
 .
–Rosemary Pizio

****************************
.

I was “visited” by my maternal grandmother at the time of her death in 1985.  I was sleeping in my dorm room, freshman year in college in Wisconsin, a great distance away from my grandmother’s home in Washington where she passed after a several-year struggle with cancer.  I knew she was ill, but was not sure when she would die. 

.

I was woken from a deep sleep to find my grandmother at my bedside.  I remember feeling very comforted by her presence.  She appeared as a 3D being, not a dream.  I felt the softness of her skin as she placed her long-fingered hand on my forehead and told me “It’s okay.  Everything will be all right.  Good bye.”  She proceeded to sort of disappear through the wall near my bed.

.

I glanced at my digital clock that read 5:30 a.m. and for a moment felt confused about what she was doing there so far from home.  I decided it was a dream and went back to sleep.  At 6:30 a.m. I woke again to knocking on my door, being told there was a phone call for me on the public hall phone.  I put on my robe, took the call, and it was my dad telling me my grandmother had died during the night.

 .

–Erin Waterman

.
**********************************

.

The day before my mother passed over I became unwell and was unable to be with her..

While I was resting I had a vision in my minds eye of my mother.
.
She passed over that night and I know that Spirit sent me a message to let me know that she was going.
.
I saw her very clearly.
.
She is still with me and often sends me a message through a medium when i go for a reading.
She recently told me that I should contact my brother because he was going through a rough patch.
When I called him he told me that he had throat cancer and was going for treatment this week

Mother’s Day: Make Peace with Your Mother

10 Comments
Posted 11 May 2013 — by Angela Artemis
Category Dream Interpretation, Intuitive Insight, Spiritual Growth

“My mother was the most beautiful woman I ever saw. All I am I owe to my mother. I attribute all my success in life to the moral, intellectual and physical education I received from her.” –George Washington

Mother's Day

Do you wince when someone says, “My mother is my best friend. We talk everyday and do everything together?” Wish things were different between the two of you?

If so, this post is for you.

This Mother’s Day make peace with your mother. 

For the last several weeks I had asked my intuition for a dream with an answer to a decision I had been grappling with regarding the care taking of my mother. If the situation continues to be intolerable do I stay or do I go?

I had a dream that my mother passed. I was filled with regret that I hadn’t made peace with her before it was too late.

In this the dream I received a flash of intuition with the intuitive insight that she had spent her entire life reacting out of her own pain, and that it had been anything but her intention to be so hurtful.

We had been locked in a dance of egos….if only one of us had the courage to rise above the ego things might have ended differently.

When I awoke from my intuitive dream I understood that we are here to love one another at the soul level despite human  flaws.

Neither of us is perfect. It is time to end the perpetual sparring match. Time to change my thinking.

While I didn’t get the answer I expected or needed my intuition had given me a clear message:

Make peace with your mother. Do it now before it’s too late.

Love is all that matters. Wounds, hurts and bruises dim the light of love for as long as you allow them to. Make the effort to wipe them away as often as necessary by forgiving and you will see that the light never stopped shining.

Happy Mother’s Day to all mothers, daughters and sons included. Here’s to hoping you can make peace.

5 Best Intuition Books to Harness Your Innate Healing Abilities

“Healing yourself is connected with healing others.” – Yoko Ono

Hands on healing, laying on of hands, spiritual healing

When I began the journey to develop my intuition I was very interested in healing and medical intuitive training. I took many courses with local teachers and every course offered by the Silva Method. One of my favorite spiritual healing courses, taught by Jose Silva, was a hands on faith healing course.

(I’ve written about the Silva Method before and I cannot recommend it highly enough. If you want to open your intuitive channels there is no better method out there than the one and only original Silva Method developed by Jose Silva in the 1960s.)

The first time I took this spiritual healing course I was amazed to feel the energy flowing through my hands. After the course I experimented on people, pets, plants, office equipment and even cars with ignition problems; basically anything that needed “healing.” Medical intuition work was when I first became aware of our “oneness” and the life force flowing through all things. I came to understood that “I” wasn’t responsible for the healing but merely an instrument of the spirit used for the healing.

Since then I continue to be fascinated by faith healing and have read many books on energy healing, spiritual healing and medical intuition and today I’d like to share five of my favorites with  you.

1.
You the Healer by Jose Silva. Based on the most successful mind development program in the world today, You the Healer offers a complete course in Silva Method healing techniques in a do-it-yourself, forty-day format.

2.
Diary of a Medical Intuitive by Cristel Nani. A native New Yorker and die-hard skeptic offers a personal look at the development of her medical intuition while serving as a trauma nurse in this riveting memoir.

3.
Medical Intuition by C. Norman Shealy, MD. This book is your primer to medical intuition. From beginning to end, you ll learn how to use your basic healing power effectively and immediately.

4.
The Creation of Health by Carolin Myss & C. Norman Shealy, MD. A collaboration between a traditionally trained physician and a medical intuitive, The Creation of Health illuminates the deep connection between emotional dysfunction and physical illness.

5.
Hands of Light by Barbara Brennan. With the clarity of a physicist and the compassion of a gifted healer with fifteen years of professional experience observing 5,000 clients and students, Barbara Ann Brennan presents the first in-depth study of the human energy field for people who seek happiness, health and their full potential.

6.
The Intuition Principle: How to Attract the Life You Dream Of. Don’t worry – I can count! I added my own book because there is an entire section in it devoted to medical intuition and intuitive healing with techniques I developed to help you find physical problems in the body, for yourself and others. I also include methods for healing yourself and others once the disease is located. 

If you’re interested in energy healing and medical intuitive training you will love these books.

Have you ever had an experience with medical intuition? Share your story with us. If you have any suggestions for other books on medical intuition and faith healing please share them in the comment section too.

**Special note: The winner of the free membership to the Windbridge Institute is Joe Bill Schirtzinger. Congratulations Joe!

13 Examples of Intuition in Everyday Life from Top Creatives

Category Business intuition, How to recognize intuition

“Intuition is a spiritual faculty and does not explain, but simply points the way.” –Frances Scovel Shinn

Flash of intuition

Intuition is not reserved for the chosen few.

Everyone is intuitive and each of us has had at least one experience where we had a gut feeling or heard our intuition guiding us in a particular situation.

Intuition is a higher form of instinct.

This sense was built into us primarily to keep us safe to ensure the propagation of our species but has since evolved.

Your body continually senses what is in your environment even if you aren’t consciously aware of it.

Can you imagine how important it was for our ancient ancestors to “sense” that danger was lurking in the jungles; to feel the hair stand up on the back of the neck and slowly turn to see a huge saber-tooth tiger crouching in the bush?

Many of  us have learned from our mistakes that when we don’t listen to our intuition we regret it later. I like to say that:

Ignoring intuition is a lot like touching a hot stove: You need only get burned once to know that ignoring your intuition is NOT a good idea!

If you’re not clear on how intuitive guidance works or how to recognize your intuition read on.

These examples of what I call “everyday intuition” will give you a very clear idea of how your intuition guides you with your home, friends and family, ensures your safety and in business with business intuition in “everyday life.”

13 Examples of Everyday Intuition from Top Creatives:

Home, Friends and Family

1.

A few months ago a neighbor approached us about selling our house.  Although our house was not for  sale, we were very happy to listen to his proposal until he told us what he was willing to pay.  
.
He started thousands of dollars less than our house was worth. He proceeded to tell us all that was wrong with our house.  It was very negative and upsetting.  Why would he want our house if there was so much wrong with it? 
.
My intuition told me to call a realtor friend.  We found out that our house was worth even more than we thought.  Our neighbor was just trying to get a deal.  My husband and I talked about putting it up on the market.  Again, we hadn’t planned on selling but I had a gut feeling which said, “Let’s go for it.”  I knew that if we did we would be putting the wheels of the universe into motion.

So we did!  It sold the day after it went on the market for full price!  We found the most wonderful house to move into, perfect for our needs and in a great neighborhood.  We move in on Wednesday and couldn’t be happier!

I don’t consider myself an intuitive, but sometimes my intuition comes through loud and clear. My younger son, Andrew, is in his third year of college where he has been awarded a scholarship to play baseball.

With his college 90 miles away, my wife, and I see him frequently, but there are weeks when our only contact is through a telephone call or text message. In early March, I got a hunch he wasn’t okay – that he was struggling.

.
I dismissed the thought knowing that I would see him in a few days at his next game. I would asses him then. But the feeling kept coming back until it urged me to call my son.
.
He wasn’t okay.
.

My son was struggling with his grades, and the demands of the baseball team were weighing on him to the point he was thinking about quitting. After talking about his challenges, we came up with a plan of action he thought was achievable.

I truly think if I had waited to speak with him, he would have given up on his goals. I’m thankful that some everyday intuition moved me into action so I could help my son find the right answers.

The experience that made the biggest impression on me was in 2002..I was getting a strong sense of wanting to move from the beautiful town I was living in with my two small boys. It wasn’t a good fit for me. I kept “seeing” an old white farmhouse in my mind. Began drawing it in detail in my journals, began designing the rooms and picking out paint colors, thought about it before bed, every time I passed an old white farmhouse would think to myself “There’s my house”.

Some months later, I went to meet an old friend in her remote country town for lunch and I was describing to her my dream business, and where I would live and work. She said, “I have to show you this house”. I was not house-hunting, and did not have any money for a downpayment.. but.. we drove up to the house and it was in fact “my” house. Down to the last detail, everything I’d been seeing in my mind, drawing, thinking about.

And in spite of the reality of the finances, no deposit in sight.. I was able to buy it and we’ve been here for almost 11 years.”

“It seems that every time I get a gut feeling that I am going to see someone I know, I do. It happened most profoundly several years ago when I was flying from Pennsylvania to St. Croix VI (where I am from).
.
Unbeknownst to me, my father was also traveling on that same day. He was flying from St. Croix to the Dominican Republic.  As I was walking down the concourse to my connecting flight in Puerto Rico, something told me to look left and when I did, I saw my father walking by. It turned out, he was also waiting for a connecting flight in Puerto Rico and had to go to the restroom.
.
If I hadn’t looked left and he hadn’t had to go to the restroom, we never would have met that day. “

5.
I recently spent nine days in Michigan visiting my family. I have a very big ego! I am often tempted to give my opinion, a comment or unasked for advice when I see or hear something that I question or don’t agree with. Notice I said “tempted!” Because my gut feeling says loud and clear, “Don’t do it!” 
.
I always bring myself back to these Truths: I don’t know what anything is for. Everyone is on their own path. Everyone has a right to live their life, their own way. Everything is in Divine Order. This is not my business. And judgment is just plain wrong!
.
It’s because I have listened to my intuition  that I still have awesome relationships with my daughters, son-in-laws and grandchildren.

I was looking for household help and interviewing several women for a two-year contract.  The search had been going on for weeks.  

Finally a suitable candidate came up. She appeared cheerful, positive and willing to learn.  Elated, I signed the required papers.  

However, when I got home, I had a gut feeling that started gnawing at me.  But, I had no logical explanation on why I was feeling that way.  This was troublesome because I had already signed the contract. 

In the end, I knew that I had to pay heed to my intuition.  So, I called the agency.  I explained that I had changed my mind.  Luckily, the manager agreed to annul the agreement.  

Meanwhile, the girl I was supposed to hire found out I had changed my mind.  She rang to beg me not to. Not only did she call once but several times.Her reactions made me uncomfortable.  

Two days later I found “The One”.  The girl I hired has been working for us for the last two years.  She has turned out to be the best helper I have had. What is great is that she also meditates and has many shared values!

I’ll never forget my powerful experience with intuition, although it’s a painful memory and lesson.  

On July 27, 1993, my mom and I were going to go shopping.  My mom asked me if we should bring my younger brother along on the shopping trip, and for some reason, I advised that she probably should leave him home.  I don’t know why I thought this, but I felt compelled to answer in this way.  Unfortunately, when we left to go shopping, it was the last time my mom and brother would see each other.  

On the way home from our shopping trip, we got in a car accident, and my mom was killed instantly.  I was sitting in the only “safe” place in the car.  If my brother had been in the car, he surely would have perished as well.
.
It is a sad, but powerful lesson that shows the true power of intuition.  Had I not followed my intuition and told my mom to bring along my brother, I am certain he would not be alive today.

Over the years I’ve had many moments of everyday intuition, some that I paid attention to and others, I ignored to my detriment. It’s taken me a long time to understand and trust those moments.
.
The one that comes to mind was a day alone, cleaning the apartment. I realized I needed something from a top shelf in the kitchen cupboards and looked around for something to stand on. I was moving, so much of my furniture was already out of the apartment and I only had a few things left. I pulled over a chair and as I put one foot on it I heard as clear as day, “Don’t do it!” It happened so quickly: hearing those words, looking down at the chair and ignoring the warning.
.
Seconds later I was lying on the floor, elbow dislocated the chair shattered all around me. As I waited at the hospital, woozy from the pain-killers, I recalled the warning and promised myself that in future I would listen. It’s not always easy to listen to my intuition as it seems my intellect likes to disagree, but more and more it has become a practice that has impacted my life.

Quite a few years ago, my family and I were at a marina enjoying lunch outside and watching the boaters go in and out of the bay.  A young family with two very small children — one in a car seat — placed their children in their boat and set off to enjoy the beautiful afternoon on the water. 
.
They did not put life jackets on their children and I had an intense urge to stand up and call out to them to do so.  But I don’t always want to be the person drawing attention to “what’s wrong with this picture” and so instead used the situation as a water safety conversation with our own boys.  
.
After lunch, several rescue vehicles started to arrive and I had another really sick feeling.  The next day, I read in the paper that the young family’s boat had flipped in the water and one of those boys drowned.  I’ve never known quite what to make of this situation or how to process it.

Typically if my business line shows a missed call and there’s no voice-mail message, I ignore it. I’ve never called a missed called number back, unless it’s from a personal friend. This comes from past experience of calling back missed calls only to find it’s a sales call or wrong number.

Well, one day this “normal” occurrence happened of seeing a missed call with no message, it was on my business phone line, but I couldn’t ignore it. For whatever reason I felt like I should call that number back, and when I went to shrug it off and not call, I felt an inner conflict, so much so that I texted my husband saying “do you ever call back a missed call number you don’t recognize on the business line?” He said, “no and neither do you, why are you asking?” I responded “I feel like I should call it.” He said, “that’s weird, you never do….maybe should, sounds like you want to.”

I tried again to shrug it off, but the thought came back to call that number. So to quiet that inner voice, I picked up the phone and dialed that number, it was a inquiry about our services and ended up being an awesome client, one of our best clients ever.

Several years ago we took on a business project that looked and sounded great, two years later it turned out to be a great time waster and this meant lost business opportunities too. Not to mention there was no financial return.


If I had followed my intuition at the time we would never have proceeded, I can remember at the time I had the knowing, that gut feeling that makes you feel very uneasy. My intuition was spot on as it turned out and that was a big awakening for both of us.!


Today we use my intuition before either of us proceed with business opportunities as they arise. Des, my life and business partner says: “I know that not following ‘Suzie’s intuition’ is at my peril.”

I told my best friend that I wanted to find a way to help people build self-love and avoid some of the pain I lived through. My agent was about to sell my book, “How do I Love Me? Let Me Count the Ways” when my gut feeling told me the best way to help people was to give the book away for free.

People thought I was crazy not to sell the book since I make my living as a writer but my gut literally screamed that I must do it. So I withdrew the book from sale, finished it and because of it, launched The Self-Love Movement™ in the fall. After giving away over 9300 books so far and getting thanks from many people who’ve read it, I have no doubt that doing this was the best thing I’ve ever done.

“The most powerful example of intuitive guidance in my life comes from times when logic and external sources all tried to work in the opposite direction of the “inner guidance” I was feeling and receiving.
.
One such example was deciding to make a major life change that included resigning from a secure job, and moving away from the city life, into a more natural way of life based on self-sufficiency. Reason and logic tried to sway against it, as did some family and friends. However by going within and trusting my inner guidance—my intuition—it turned out to be the most perfect set of choices for my path of personal evolution.
.
Three years later I look back with awe at how perfectly everything turned out because I chose to trust and follow my inner voice. Today I listen to that inner guidance more than ever, and greatly appreciate its role in my life.”

Today I have the pleasure of sharing a recorded interview with Julie Beischel, Ph.D., the author of

Among Mediums: A Scientist's Quest for Answers

“Among Mediums: A Scientist’s Quest For Answers.”

Windbridge Institute Logo

Dr. Julie Beischel is the co-founder and director of research at the Windbridge Institute, and following the suicide of her mother and an evidential mediumship reading, Dr. Julie Beischel forfeited a potentially lucrative career in the pharmaceutical industry to pursue rigorous scientific research with mediums full-time.

She is currently a member of Parapsychological Association and the Society for Scientific Exploration.

Dr. Beischel has generously offered the gift of a Windbridge Institute membership to one lucky PBI commentor……scroll down to find out how to participate!

You can listen to the two-part audio or read the full transcript below.

Part one:Listen to the recording about intuitionPart two: Listen to the recording about intuition

Angela: Dr. Beischel welcome. I loved reading your bio. You have such an accomplished background and such a fascinating one especially since you are studying mediumship. It is a pleasure to have you. I reached out to you because of the book that you published in January. “Among Mediums”, and it’s abook that you were gracious enough to send me.  I read it and loved it. It was fun because your voice was just so funny. I found myself entertained while I learned a lot as I read it.

Readers of Powered by Intuition would really love to know a bit more about you since you are someone who is leading a way in researching mediumship.

De.Beischel: My Ph.D. is in Pharmacology and Toxicology with some minor in Microbiology and Immunology. While I was in graduate school my mom committed suicide and I went through my normal grieving process and a few years later “The Crossing Over, With John Edwards” show was on TV and that was sort of my first interaction with the medium.

The Top 11 Reasons You Ignore Your Intuition

16 Comments
Posted 14 Apr 2013jobs — by Angela Artemis
Category Developing Intuition

Trusting our intuition often saves us from disaster. –Anne Wilson Schae

Ignoring your intuition is like going through life blindfolded

A heard a tiny whisper in my head saying, “Check again for your keys.”

I ignored it….and discovered I was locked out of my house when I got home at 11 pm. I had to get a locksmith to make an emergency visit to drill the lock. Ignoring my intuition cost me a lot of money.

Has something like this ever happened to you?

If you often find yourself in pickles like this you are ignoring your intuition.

Here are the top reasons you ignore your intuition:

1. Doubt. You play down the importance of this “voice.”

Antidote: You need to develop trust in your intuition. The only way to do this is to listen to these whispers and act upon them. The more you do and find they are “right” the more trust you’ll gain in your inner voice.

2. Lack of intention. Listening to your intuition is not a priority in your life.

Antidote: You’ve got to create an intention to develop your intuition. After all if you don’t make it a priority to listen this voice, who will? Recognize the importance of these messages from your intuitive wisdom and become conscious of them.

3. Monkey mind. You lack focus and clarity in your thinking.

Antidote: You have not set aside time each day to meditate and clear your mind. Develop the habit of sitting in silence and listening for 20 minutes a day. Your thoughts will slow and your intuition will come through more loudly and clearly.

4. Insecurity. You listen to others (external voices) rather than yourself.

Antidote: You must develop your self-confidence and self-reliance. Pay attention to how you feel when you override your own instincts to listen to what others say you should do. Feeling “twisted” up inside like maybe it’s “wrong” is a signal that you’ve ignored your inner wisdom.

5. Multi-tasking. You are always in a hurry and doing too many things at once.

Antidote: Stop it! When you rush and try to accomplish too much at once you will not hear this subtle voice. Focus on one thing at a time. Take breaks where you walk away and give yourself a breather so your intuition can come through.

6. Distraction. You are never alone or have your cell phone, radio or television on at all times.

Antidote: If you cannot be alone with your self and need to have constant company, conversation or “noise” you will block your intuition from coming through. Turn everything off and spend at least an hour a day being “mindful” while you accomplish a simple task such as washing the dishes.

7. Self-medicating. You drink, do drugs or use food to shut out your inner voice.

Antidote: Using any substance to deal with your fears or quiet the critical internal voice will also block your intuition. Try journaling to get in touch with these inner stressors instead. When you write about your feelings you become conscious of what is driving you to self-medicate.

8. Toxic relationships. You live with or are involved with controlling or negative people.

Antidote: Find a way to cut off from or lessen the time you spend around toxic people. If you can’t get away make it a habit to have “alone” time. Toxic people poison your thoughts and undermine your confidence and self-esteem which muffles your intuition.

9. Control. You are a controlling personality who is attached to things turning out exactly as you think they should.

Antidote: Having to be “in control” all the time comes from having many fears. You fear what may happen if you don’t “control” the outcome. This is a no win way to live though. You cannot control everyone or everything. Learn to let go and allow the answers to bubble up naturally.

10. Negativity. You have a habit of thinking negatively.

Antidote: Look for the positive in everything. Stop looking for what can go wrong. Change your attitude and look for what can go right instead. You created the habit of thinking negatively and you can break that habit too – if you want to. Negative thinking overrides your intuition. You’ll hear it but you won’t believe it!

11. People pleasing. You put yourself last all the time.

Antidote: Stop putting the needs of others ahead of yourself all the time. Yes, we should help others and be selfless at times but, not at the expense of ignoring our own needs. People pleasing is a habit that absolutely shuts down your intuition.

Do you see yourself on this list? Can you think of any other habits or things you do that cause you to ignore your intuition? Share them with us in the comments.

If you notice that you are ignoring your intuition by doing one or more of these things I highly suggest you focus on the antidote. I cover these blocks to intuition extensively in my book, “The Intuition Principle.”

10 Incorrect Beliefs About Being a Nice Person

20 Comments
Posted 07 Apr 2013 — by Angela Artemis
Category Self-empowerment

What are your beliefs about being a “nice person?”

A desire to be nice drives many of us to be people pleasers.

It can be hard to know where true nice ends and being a DoorMat begins. Many people have great misconceptions about what nice behavior is or they call themselves nice for the wrong reasons. The people pleasing kind of “nice” behavior often makes you unhappy, angry or frustrated when people aren’t “nice” back. When I was a DoorMat, I made everyone more important than me. Looking back, I was rarely happy inside. I took crumbs people threw me instead of getting what I really wanted.

The idea of being a nice person has been getting a negative rap.

Pop celebrities like Kim Kardashian complain that being nice hurts them. Popular books, like Nice Girls Don’t Get the Corner Office, advise suppressing your desire to be nice in order to succeed. And of course Leo Durocher’s quote, “Nice guys finish last,” gets repeated over and over as a lament about why people need to get tougher, more aggressive, and less giving if they want to get their needs met and advance more in the workplace and in life.

People equate being “nice” with being seen as weak and unattractive.

Those who consider themselves “nice” may feel used, taken for granted or unappreciated. But none of those beliefs are true! When I recognized the true meaning of nice, I got a lot more and my happiness blossomed. I want to clear up 10 common misconceptions about what nice is and isn’t so that more nice people can finish first. Then you can redefine “nice” in a way that empowers you. Here are 10 common beliefs about being nice that just aren’t true!

Nice means helping everyone and being agreeable all the time, whether you want to or not.

Wrong! Nice does NOT mean doing favors indiscriminately or always being agreeable. There’s a big difference between being a nice person and being a people pleaser. True nice means considerate, respectful, and helping others selectively when it doesn’t hurt or inconvenience you badly. People pleasers try too hard to please, putting everyone before their own well-being or needs. You can be kind and friendly without giving yourself away to everyone who wants something.

It’s not nice to say “no.”

Wrong! What’s not nice is to say “no” to yourself in order to say “yes” to others. It’s nice to do favors when you can, not at the expense of your own needs or sacrificing yourself for the sake of everyone. Empowered nice people understand that saying “no” to what you don’t want to do says “yes” to your preferences. And you have a right to that!

It’s nice to try to go along with what others want.

Wrong! It’s not nice to put what you want to do on the back burner to please others. I used to cancel plans to accommodate others and tried to ignore that nobody did that for me. Good relationships are built on compromising so everyone has their way sometimes. Empowered nice people make their desires known and expect to get them met at least sometimes. It’s nice to have an equal say in the restaurant or movie to go to or other decisions that affect you.

Nice people should try to please everyone.

Wrong! Hello! That’s not nice! It’s buying friends with favors. It’s not nice when giving is a one-way street and you’re going the wrong way. Empowered nice people help and do favors on an individual basis, depending on what works for you and who the person is. Pleasing people should feel good, not make you feel used or taken for granted. The more you nourish yourself, the more energy you have to give to others.

God wants me to be as nice as possible to everyone.

I have a strong spiritual core and believed God wanted me to please everyone. But, I left out the most important person—me! When you try to be good to everyone, YOU should be included. We often forget ourselves and neglect our needs in pursuit of being “nice.” Spiritual doesn’t mean sacrificing for anyone who wants something while leaving yourself out. God wants you to be good to YOU too!. Find a balance between giving to others and getting your needs met too. Now that I’m no longer a DoorMat, I love to help when possible to be kind, not to score points or have it returned. And I’m nice to me too!

It’s important to be liked by everyone.

Wrong! There’s nothing nice about you being unhappy, no matter how many are happy as a result of your sacrifice. It’s impossible to make everyone like you. And buying people with favors doesn’t mean they like you. They may just like the perks of keeping you around. Empowered nice people know when you’re kind but set boundaries on what you can do, you find out who likes you for you! Those people are the keepers.

It’s nice to be modest.

Wrong! It’s not nice to belittle yourself or negate compliments or avoid sharing what you’re proud of to build others up. Owning your accomplishments increases self-esteem. That doesn’t mean overtly bragging, which does get annoying. Many of us were taught to downplay our victories and shrug off compliments instead of acknowledging them. Empowered nice people know that when you just say “thank you” and nothing more when receiving praise and express pride about your successes and wonderful qualities, confidence increases.

It’s nicer to keep the peace than to risk an argument.

Wrong! Keeping quiet about things that bother you is not nice because it can stir up anger, frustration and other negative emotions that hurt you. Silence tells people what they’re doing is okay when it’s not. Empowered nice people know you should and can be heard by speaking your mind in a considerate, friendly and straightforward manner. If you keep your emotions in check and gently explain how you feel, it shouldn’t erupt into an argument.

Nice people get passed over for romance.

People pleasers turn people off. Nice people with confidence don’t. People often try to please because they don’t feel good about themselves. Self-proclaimed “nice guys” say they go out of their way to be nice and it doesn’t work. An overly accommodating attitude says you don’t feel good about yourself and it screams insecurity. Being with someone who’s bending over backwards to please, creates pressure to reciprocate. If you live up to the true definition of nice, you’ll make a better impression. Don’t try so hard to please. Be courteous and confident and you’ll prove that true nice can be attractive.

Nice people finish last.

People pleasers/DoorMats finish last.  They think they’re nice but get upset when they feel they don’t get back for all they give and believe they must do a 180 and become tough and aggressive in order to succeed. Empowered nice people know that people pleasing is not nice and you should give when you want to, not because it’s expected or you want something in return. When you’re courteous, respectful, confident and set boundaries for how much you can give, you can be a nice person who finishes first.

Let go of those myths about what nice behavior is and do your best to be considerate, friendly, respectful and give with boundaries. That helps you become an empowered nice person. People will both like you and take you seriously. That helps you to be the best person you can be! And it allows you to be happier because you’ll like the person you are and people will respect you more.

Numerology Forecast April 2013: You’re Number One!

April 2013 Numerology Forecast – You’re Number One!

Numerology Forecast for April 2013

April’s Numerology Forecast brought to you by intuitive numerologist, Kari Samuels, is about manifesting your desires.

You will be showered with opportunities for empowerment and self-love.

Numbers are similar to planets in the way they affect us, since they are both vibrations.

All throughout 2013 we are experiencing the influence of the number 6. (2+0+1+3 = 6). 6 energy teaches us to have balance, foster healthy relationships, and create more love and harmony.

Every month, as the numeric value changes so does the energy.

April 2013 is the 4th month of the year. Therefore, we always experience the influence of the 4 vibration in April. Four is a number associated with the Earth, our physical bodies, and our material world. Squares have four sides, and are a stable shape on which to build a foundation.

It’s the perfect time to square your corners, get your finances in order, and create a structured plan for your future. No wonder this is the month for taxes! There are far more glamorous applications, of course. The most important being honoring your body, enjoying the Earth, and creating the building blocks for the life you love.

During April 2013 we are influenced by the number 1.

We get this by adding the Universal Year number (6) to the number of the month (4). 6+4 =10. In numerology, we reduce numbers until they are a single digit, 10 is reduced to 1 (1+0 =1). This is such powerful energy! 1 teaches you to put yourself first, follow your intuition and do something for the first time, and celebrate your uniqueness.

This is a wonderful time to learn how to listen to your own needs, rather than other people’s.

Do you often hold back from saying or doing something because you are afraid of what others will think of you? Do you accommodate other people rather than voice what you want? Is there an idea that you want to share with the world, but are afraid it is not practical? If you’ve answered yes to any of these questions, it’s now time to say YES to you!

There is a beautiful synchronicity of energies in the Universe now that are encouraging you to believe in yourself by following your intuition. It is never selfish to be self-nourishing. In fact, it is the best thing you can do for the people you love!

The burst of energy you will receive is similar to a sprout pushing it’s way through the soil. Why not harness this force to promote some needed changes in your life?

Here are some tips for suggested actions you can take:

  • Release yourself from any social obligations you have that are draining you.
  • Make time for yourself every day.
  • Tune into your intuition
  • Put recreation and self-care on your calendar
  • Write up a business plan for your dream career
  • Share with your friends and family something about yourself you’ve been afraid to tell them.
  • Be yourself!

It’s time to celebrate you!

Remember, if you don’t make yourself number one in your life, who will? You’re the only one of you on the planet, and we all need you to be your shining beautiful self.

Happy April!

What will you do to take advantage of this month’s self-focused energy? Are you starting any new projects? A new job? Have questions for Kari? Share with us in the comments.

Readers’ Stories of Encountering the Spirit of a Loved One

15 Comments
Posted 24 Mar 2013 — by Angela Artemis

Life after death evidence

Life after death

Today, I’m excited to share submissions from Powered by Intuition readers about encountering the spirit of a deceased loved one.

These stories illustrate what I believe: We’re all connected in spirit and naturally intuitive and psychic beings.  Each of these readers is a quality psychic in their own right. Communication with the spirit of a loved happens spontaneously and requires no preparation such as, the need to study psychic development, mediumship or the tarot cards meaning.

Their stories prove that the love that connects us to one another survives physical death and is all we need to receive a communication from the spirit world. Your loved ones want to let you know they are okay. They want to let you know they still love you and will always be with you. All you need to do is stay open to receiving their message.

These four personal encounters are great examples of the variety of ways your loved ones communicate their presence to you.

Seeing a spirit

When I was a young girl approximately 8 or 9 years old my favorite uncle passed away from a heart attack. I was devastated by his death, he was always the one who was there for my brother, sister and I. Our favorite ritual if you will, was heading down back to the lower part of our property to build a camp fire for roasting marshmallows and hot dogs. My uncle Bill would tell us stories, make us laugh and couldn’t get enough of those roasted marshmallows. Ha.
.
On the morning of the funeral, we all went to say our goodbyes to a great man. Upon walking up to the casket and looking at my uncle, I knew he was no longer there. The only thing I saw was an empty body, I knew his spirit had moved on. The hardest part was knowing I would never see him again, not in this life anyway. I went home and cried myself to sleep that night.
.
The following morning I awoke and sat up on the edge of the bed, when I looked up my uncle Bill was standing in the doorway looking down at me. There he was in his black pin stripe suit that he loved so well. I knew he came back to let me know that everything was alright and that his spirit would always be near.
.
I wasn’t able to tell my parents about this experience because I knew in my heart they would never believe me. We were taught that there are no such things as spirits or ghosts and of course would have been punished had we ever spoke of such things. I pray that parents of today will be more open and receptive of things their children see and hear. I can tell you from personal experience that there is a spirit world and it isn’t something to be feared.

Clairaudience – Hearing from the spirit world

A few years ago I was living in Florida and my aunt, who lived in Detroit area, was very ill and in the hospital.  I was very close to her and my sister called to say she was dying.  I immediately made a plane reservation to return to Detroit before she passed.

While on the plane I suddenly heard, “It’s all over now.”

Don’t know who said it to me but, it did not sound like her.  When I landed my sister said she died and gave me the time 8:50 p.m. which was the exact time I had received the message.

While babysitting for my grandchild and doing my nails I heard my aunt, whom had passed say, “Bow, what in the world is going on?”   I explained to her that she had passed and was now in the spirit world.  She didn’t reply but, did not return to visit me again.

–Clara Sifers

Smelling the presence of a spirit

My eldest son passed away 3 years ago.
It was my father`s 70th birthday recently.
We live 16,000 km apart on different continents & hemispheres.
They live in a mountainous area and don`t often have satellite reception.
I just sent a text message birthday wish.
Later that evening, in a specific area, I `smelled` my son’s scent.
A couple of days later it happened again.
I`m not sure, maybe it`s him making his presence known & acknowledging
this special time for his grandfather.

–Xanele Talbot

Spirit Visitation in a Dream

When my father died, I was very shocked, and there was one thing I was really sorry about. I felt I mistreated him in one way, on a specific occasion, and I really felt sorry for hurting him (emotionally).
.
It was maybe about a year after he had passed, that I had this dream:
I was in a graveyard of some kind, or larger field, other ‘people’ helpers were there (maybe angels), and then a floor door (or a door on the ground) opened, and out came my father, he came up the steps. I was so happy to see him, we hugged and embraced, and I told him, that I was so sorry about what happened, and that I didn’t want to hurt him. He told me, that all is fine, and that he had no hard feelings, and he completely understood, and didn’t take it personally. That all is well.
.
I was so relieved and so happy, and then we had to say goodbyes , and he had to go down those steps again and retreat under ground.
.
I wasn’t sad seeing  him leave, it was all right.
I know he was fine and that all is well.
This very vivid dream helped me tremendously
.
I really believe he came and visited me from the other side…
–Caroline Cameron
.
I want to thank these wonderful Powered by Intuition readers for sharing their private stories with us. The more openly we share the more educated we all become on the topic of life after death and the survival of consciousness after physical death.
.
Encounters with the spirit world are not scary or spooky or unnatural. It’s just love doing what love does….reaching out and saying, “I miss you, I love you, I’m okay – just wanted you to know.”
.
When we die we leave our body behind but, not our intelligence nor ingenuity.
Do you see how these four spirits used different means of communicating with their loved ones? Have you ever encountered the spirit of a loved one? What happened. Share your story in the comments.
