Inner understanding and perception: 

Shakespeare said that "a rose by any other name would smell as sweet". Call a skunk a rose, and it still stinks the same - but the skunk sure feels better about themselves. Sometimes words matter, sometimes they are just hair-splitting semantics. It pays to know when is which, so as to choose words well to help and heal.

On Spirit Guides by Joy Star

An excellent, excellent article about Spirit Guides by my friend and psychic reading mentor Joy Star, who is a genius at Soul Astrology!

Namaste.  Welcome to Thoughts Along the Path by Psychic Joy Star.   Have an Amazing Day! Email not displaying correctly? View it in your browser.  Astrology Course  (coming in the future)  Details TBA

August 17, 2013 Spirit Guides and Subtle Energy by Joy Star Working with Spirit Guides is just that – work! Just like any other relationship it is not fair for them to do things for you at your bidding, to become overly dependent upon them, to be there to alleviate feelings of loneliness or to show off for the benefit of your ego. Human and Spirit Guide Relationships are Not That Different Some people tend use other humans in these same ways and we shouldn’t expect Spirit Guides to fulfill those types of roles any more than we should depend on other humans to be our servants, healers, pride possessions, cheerleaders etc. Spirit Guides are not there to do things for you; they help, assist and guide you in reaching your own goals—the will not give you the goal or hand you a mission. The Work What about the work that I mentioned?   Set aside a time and a routine to be open to your guides and work on being sensitive so that the contact can be perceived.  How does one become sensitive? One way is through practicing being in the present moment, becoming aware of subtle energy. While some individuals are born very sensitive and possess a natural inclination to be sensitive to surrounding energy, others can develop those abilities.  As I’ve mentioned before in previous newsletters, there is a caveat and admonition—it is sometimes very difficult to be in close quarters with many humans. My Recent Energy Experience I had such an experience yesterday as a matter of fact in an old home that was converted into an extremely crowded and busy hair salon with high strung and different types of people than I’m accustomed. As a matter of fact, if you’ve followed my life at all you will recall that I’ve lived alone in a quiet rural mountain setting for over 15 years, just haven moved here a little over a year ago.  I’m getting accustomed to the crowded city and can barely handle a locker room full of women for 10 minutes, not to mention downstairs neighbors in a poorly sound proofed building. Needless to say, if it had not been for my daughter who is getting married next month who sent me there for a hair trial… well, it was horribly difficult to be with so many humans in one small space for that extended period. Let's just say that one would like to not be so sensitive at certain times and one tries not to be, but as I wrote above, when one is sensitive to energy and not accustomed to being in close quarters for extended periods, it can be highly disturbing and distressing. Creating a Welcoming Environment for Spirit Guide Communication Which brings me to another point which is that to welcome Spirit Guide communication it is recommended to provide an environment that is conducive—in other words, a place that is completely opposite from a crowded hair salon where there is barely enough room to move and human shouts and laughter bounce of the walls.  You get the idea.  Registering All Encountered Energy Becomes a Psychic Habit  Working with Spirit Guides involves learning to register everything that is encountered.  It is not always easy to switch that off and on again once an individual who has been working in these realms for a number of years has become accustomed to this level of sensitivity. When one is naturally open to registering everything one encounters, one must use wisdom about the environment one subjects oneself to.  And that is something I’d forgotten until quite recently. Natural Sensitivity Most people who are practicing using their intuition and trying to become psychic close their eyes and withdraw from the world around them on order to enter another realm. Those who are naturally sensitive and psychic walk in that world and the human realms at the same time and are always in that altered state of consciousness.  Therefore, when in a small crowded area one is picking up energy and feeling it pass through and around their field continually.  That can be disorienting and sometimes it takes a day or so to process and clear the energy.  Salt baths help and reconnecting with nature, if that’s practical, helps too.  (I'd love to walk in the woods to clear that energy today, but its been pouring rain all day here; not that I didn't consider a walk in the rain.) Anyway... Everyone Possesses Psychic Senses Psychic senses exist within us all but for many people those senses lay dormant unless they have been awakened and used in previous lifetimes.  I will mention a few things here (as I conclude thoughts for this week’s newsletter) that you can do to increase your psychic sensitivities. Diet.  Foods such as fish, white meat, vegetables and fruits like pineapples, papaya, lemons, and oranges are high vibrational foods.  Essentially, eating lightly before a psychic session is usually recommended since our energy is taken up digesting foods. Increasing water intake helps us to be able to work with the high energy levels that are required with spirit communication since water is a conductor of energy.  Decreasing salt intake is also recommended for this same reason. Exercise.  The stronger and more vibrant our energy field is, the more sensitive it will become to subtle energy.  If you find my weekly newsletters helpful to the path of your psychic and spiritual journey upon the earth, would you consider a one-time donation to assist with my survival?  The donate button should be in the footer of this email, but if not, there's a button on the top of my blog page here: http://psychicjoystar.wordpress.com/  ( Or you can use your pay-pal account and send to: joystar777@gmail.com ) Other Posts:    07/08/2010 - Common and Uncommon Meditation Experiences 07/01/2010 - Getting REAL about Relationships and Intuition Quick Links: Soul Astrology             http://www.psychicjoystar.com/SoulReading.html Psychic Readings         http://www.psychicjoystar.com/ThankYouPaymentPage.html Psychic Class Online                                               http://www.psychicjoystar.com/PsychicDevelopmentClassesbyPsychicMediumJoyStar.html           Psychic Articles Browse List of all previous newsletters CLICK HERE

Q&A: Getting back together

Q: How does he feel about me? Will we get back together?

A: Hi ****** 

I understand how emotional of a time this is for you. It always hurts when relationships end, for whatever reason.

I'm sorry to be so hard on you, but it feels like you need a real wake up call here. We've talked about all of this before. A lot. This is exactly the wrong questions to be asking. This is exactly the kind of situation that scam psychics take advantage of. This is the opposite of what psychic tarot is all about.

• Psychics and Tarot can NOT tell what other people are thinking, are feeling or what they will do
• Even if psychics or tarot could do that, I wouldn't. Put yourself in *****'s place. How would you feel if he asked a stranger from the internet what you feel and what you plan to do. How would you feel if a stranger looked into your heart and your mind and your intentions all behind your back and without your permission and then spilled everything to your EX? Sounds pretty stalker creepy to me. I won't do that to another person, and I hope no one ever does that to you.
• Sometimes when we are doing a reading, we can get a sense of permission on the soul level, some sense of the other person sharing with you...that is not the case here

I know a little of that happened in your sister's reading, and she told me that the two of you have talked about it BUT she came with a whole different question. Like she told you, she wanted to know what she needed to do to help fix things...not a prediction about her ex. Maybe get some advice from her. Real world advice from someone who knows you and knows the situation is always a good thing. Tarot can help you know what to do for you - but it can't take the place of people who care about you, or make predictions, or read minds....

....I know that isn't the answer you were hoping for, but it is the only honest one I can give you right now. Be safe, be happy. 

The Queen of Summer

The Queen of Cups

Is the Queen of Summer

Her stillness lies within

When sun blazes hot

Her inner calm 

Cools, a northern breeze

The Queen of Cups

Is the Queen of Hearts

Leading by example

The way to cool

When life blazes hot.

Taking my own advice - another 4 of swords kind of day

It's yet another 4 of swords kind of day - week - potentially month. 

Be flexible or break. Just roll with it as it comes. Or like Taoist and marital artist Bruce Lee said, "be like water". 

That is why I want to focus on e-mail readings this summer.Not only is it my specialty, and available without an appointment... I set the price lower because they are more flexible & convenient for both of us! 

If you are interested in getting a tarot reading at all, please give an e-mail reading a try. You'll save both time and money...and still get the exact same reading you would get in person! And I can adjust when I do the reading a few minutes here or there so I can  put full focus on your reading, and do the absolute best for you that I can. 

I'm taking my own advice for the next several weeks, drawing from the four of swords...I'm being flexible, focusing on e-mail readings - which is a good deal for everyone. 

Today's Tarot - The World

It is necessary for the world to be enormous, enormously diverse, even a little bit frightening. How else could it be both classroom and playground for something as wondrous as the whole human race?

Today's Tarot - 4 of Swords

"It is what it is"...let go of expectations, stay flexible, roll with it, allow...let go of expectations and specifics, not dreams. Allow the highest and best to come to you in its own way and in its own time. Welcome dreams, hopes, manifestation, fulfillment and magic as-is...not make demands of them. 

Welcome. and Allow the good things to happen.

The Moon

Even when you walk among your tribe, you alone must take the steps to move along your spiritual path. It is your responsibility - and your joy.

Today's Tarot - Ace of Cups

Originally published in 2011:

If there is wholeness (and I believe there is), then we touch the same spark as the greatest minds and spirits that have ever lived.

If you need to balance the checkbook, remember you are part of the same universe as Nelson Rockefellar and the legend of King Midas. If you have a difficult problem to solve, remember you are part of the same whole as Einstein and Newton. If you need wisdom, you walk the same earth as did Confucious, and Lau Tzu.  If you see suffering in others or feel it yourself, this is the same place of being as Mother Theresa, the Dali Lama, and millions of unsung heros who do simple kindnesses every day.

On the artwork of the of the Raider White Tarot deck, it shows a dove bringing a wafer to an overflowing water chalice. That reminds me of our connection to the wholeness, the entirety of space, time and dimensions. A very comforting notion.

When we are part of everything, our cup is full.

Today's Tarot - 4 of Wands

A stick can't flex unless one end is held strong. Some ideas are basic, are foundational. Being adaptable doesn't mean you have to give up the the things that give you roots, and a strong footing. It's hard to bend when your feet slip with every move. Tolerance accepts others, but it accepts the core of who you are too.

Flexibility is adaptive, alive and strong, and it works in perfect harmony with a strong foundation, self-confidence and self-esteem.

The first step to being comfortable within your skin is to know the shape of it. Socrates said "know thyself", which is the first step toward accept thyself, and respect thyself.

Foresight isn't always averting an emergency. True, forewarned is forearmed - or as a paramedic once told me "prepare for an emergency, and the emergency goes away"...

The other side of foresight is looking ahead and seeing that things are OK, for now anyway. When you see trouble on the horizon, you have something to do, you can prepare.

What do you do when there is sun on the horizon?

Be grateful. Appreciate. Savor. Relax. Recharge. Foresight is clearest when we are rested and relaxed, and ready for what we see.
