WHAT IS YOUR REALITY?

As a psychic, I have the unique opportunity to work with clients who face a wide variety of challenges. I enjoy getting into the nuts and bolts of their life, and helping them find solutions. No matter how complex a problem is, I always seek clarity in order to guide a person towards better choices. Sometimes I feel as though I'm standing in the wings, gently directing actors to move one way or another so they hit their mark at exactly the right moment. Because I am outside the situation, I often have a clearer perspective. If you're standing on the inside, where the client is, you can't always see the overview and the way various pieces fit together to form the big picture.

There are many television shows and movies that are filling up the airways. Patricia Arquette's character in the show Medium was based on a real life medium. Oscar winning actress Cate Blanchette portrayed a medium who helped solve crimes in the movie "The Gift". People need to open up and understand that there is a higher power. Bigger than the linear life.

I must admit to being privy to the lives of many celebrities through my work. I may be called a "Spiritual Advisor," but I am practical, logical, and completely non judgemental. As you can plainly see, mediums, and psychics have finally established themselves to the world. I see more men coming to me to give them the answers to mega business decisions. And as for you ladies, when men get lost, groping to find their destination, they refuse to stop at a gas station for help!! Right?

Unfortunately, many clients of mine, seem to have an unconscious need to repeat playing out the same dramas and crazy events, as though they are doing retakes in a movie that is their life. Our fascination with celebrities isn't anything new but the grip it has on people is getting scary, at least to me. People are obsessed with celebrity breakups, meltdowns, weight loss or gain, arrests, marriages, divorces, etc... The publishers of Star, Us Weekly, and OK Magazine know this, and profit well from the feeding frenzy. I have to wonder what this does to the way we see ourselves and our own life. What is your reality?

I remember repeat showings of the tape of Tom Cruise jumping up and down on Oprah's couch because he was so in love with Katie Holmes that the mention of her name drove him into a tizzy. That thing was playing everywhere, for days. It was shocking to see it played over and over. News? On what planet and in what reality would that be considered news? Ugh!!

The more recent obsession has been with Kim Kardashian and her 72 day marriage. I guess, we'll peer through the divorce proceedings now as well. And then, of course, there are the endless so called reality shows, coming to you from every city in the country. People are hooked on them. Just another form of addiction in my opinion. They do provide an escape, away to run from one's own personal reality. Watching someone else's pain or living vicariously through their celebrity, must make viewer's feel better. Or... does this form of "reality" indicate something more sinister? Such as the crumbling culture, the numbing down and dumbing down is it the way we create and perceive reality? IS THIS REALITY CALLED THE NEW NORMAL?! Or, are we to be a vast cultural wasteland?

My advice is to drop out (of these distortions of reality) and tune in (to your inner self). If you are really looking for solutions and answers to the challenges that you face, shift your prospective within your own life and "live" your own reality. The answers are not "out there" in TV land or in the tabloids. The answers are within you.

We are close to 2012, NOT the end of the world as some predict, but certainly a turning point. This could be a new year of great discovery ,IF we connect to the strength and inner knowing that is part of who we really are. Whose reality do you want to be in as we move into the new year? Yours? Someone else's? Do you want it to be a repeat of 2010 or 2011? What do you want it to look like? What do you want it to contain? Who do you want to have with you? What do you want to be doing? Create your OWN reality!!

I love this quote from Walter Cooper:
"If you realized that the nurtured spiritual part of yourself would accompany you on your eternal journey and that everything you have labored so hard to accumulate would vanish the instant you depart this world, would it alter your daily agenda?"

I always felt a wise man knows everything...A shrewd man knows everybody...
