The news is so prevalent in our daily lives now, that it can be hard to escape all the headlines. From radio and TV to online sources, social media, billboards, forwarded emails…there’s a lot of noise around us these days. And unfortunately, what is considered news now is not always informative or even relevant. It may feel like you’re being bombarded with increasingly ridiculous and harmful information. And yet, we do need to stay informed about important issues. So how do we stay aware without filling our heads with junk? Here are just a few suggestions:
- Don’t let the news be the first or last thing you hear in your daily life. Mostly tragedy or absurdity, your day and your dreams will get off to a bad start if the news bookends your waking life.
- If you have a long commute to work, set aside just 10 minutes to catch up on what’s happening and then enjoy your favorite music.
- Avoid reading headlines of trashy magazines while waiting in the grocery store line.
- Pick your online sources for news very carefully and only visit them once a day.
These are just a few ideas. If you need more help quieting the news so you can hear yourself, give one of our Master Psychics a call.
Love and Blessings,

If you’ve never done yoga, don’t worry; there are two types that are excellent for beginners: Hatha yoga and Iyengar yoga. Hatha yoga focuses on integrating your breathing into each pose as you hold it for a few seconds. As a gentle practice, it’s a great first step to learning how to move slowly and smoothly through different asanas (poses). Stretching and working your muscles can help you to become more flexible in your body and your mind. This can also reduce stress.
Iyengar yoga is quite similar but focuses more on body alignment and balance. You’ll also hold poses longer in this form of yoga, and can use props like straps, blankets and blocks to help support your body. Both Iyengar and Hatha are great ways to start exploring yoga. Look for a class or a beginner’s DVD and start experiencing the benefits of yoga for yourself.
Need help stretching your mind to the idea of yoga? Give us a call. We’re always here for you.

Creating art is all about connecting to the Universal Energy in a more creative way to enhance your own life. So, ultimately, you are doing your art for you. But there is a special connection or transformation that can happen when you share your art with others. Seeing your art reflected in another’s eyes gives it a completely new life you may never have imagined. Watching someone’s reaction as they read your poetry, hear your music or view your painting can be incredibly powerful. It can also be very scary.
It’s natural to fear rejection; we all do. And when we’ve created something from our hearts, we hope it will touch others the way it touched us as we were creating it. The truth is, everyone may not respond positively to your art, and that’s okay. Because someone, somewhere will. And that experience can change your life.
Still too scared to share your art? Talk to one of our Master Psychics. We can help!

As you’ve become more and more creative, you may have noticed that some artistic projects seem to go on and on with no end in sight. Are you still enjoying working on your project? If so, good for you!
If you are not having as much fun with it now, not quite knowing when a creative project is finished is perhaps the most common problem among artists. In the end, only you can really decide when it’s done. You can ask the opinion of trusted friends and artists, and they may have great insights, but again, only you can decide. Just remember to trust the process. The creative process is fluid, allowing your imagination to reign all the way through from beginning to end…and to end…and to end. It not only brings you closer to the Universal Energy, it teaches you a lot about yourself. Can you feel safe in letting your work of art be finished and shared with others? Sometimes the difficulty in completing your art is simply about letting go. Again, just trust the process. Trust yourself. And trust the Universal Energy.
Still feeling creatively frustrated? We’d love to help you to get the creative juices flowing again. Give us a call.
Love and Blessings, Susan Page

We all have a friend, relative or colleague that we may like very much, but who has that one quirk we just can’t stand. Maybe your father is a horrible communicator. Maybe your old high school friend is into celebrity gossip. Maybe your colleague has a habit of always asking what you have for lunch. You may feel absolutely compelled to try to change that person because you believe you have the power to do so.
But the fact is, you can’t change them. And the more you let go of the desire to do so, the happier you’ll be. It’s liberating to recognize what is in our control and what isn’t. The more you hit your head against a brick wall, the more it’s going to hurt. So really meditate on the fact that you cannot change these quirks in the people you love. They are still the people you love, so accept them for all that they are. After all, even though we think we are very easy to get along with, they accept us, don’t they?
If you need a little help accepting those around you for who they are, give us a call. We’re always here for you.

Hopefully, for the past few months, you’ve been connecting more to your creativity and therefore more to the Universal Energy and inner peace. But it’s not unusual to occasionally find yourself stalled on the path to creativity. Sometimes life just gets in the way and you can feel utterly uninspired. But don’t worry; inspiration is all around you. You just have to open your eyes and ears. Here are some suggestions:
First, in all these scenarios, bring your notebook or sketchbook with you. Go to a coffee shop and listen for a word or phrase that sparks that creative spot inside you and respond to it immediately. Or, open up a magazine and flip through it until you see a picture that creates that spark. Go to a park or a public place you’ve never been to before and be open to what you hear, see and smell. Put on instrumental music, close your eyes and see what appears in your imagination. Being inspired is just a matter of being awake. So use these tips to wake up both you and your creativity!
Still having trouble? Give our Master Psychics a call. They’re always here for you.
