Does He Have Fatherhood Potential

8
Fatherhood

You may think your partner is a great person, friend, and husband, but how can you tell if he will be a good father? Any man can be a father, but a special man must be a dad.  Is the man in your life qualified?

This is important because while any guy can be a father, it takes a true man to be a dad.  If you want the best for your children, you should provide a love-filled home.  As you may know, being a good parent means that you put your children first.

There are a few ways to find out if your partner will be a good father:

Ask a few questions:

Can he handle life’s disappointments with grace?  Will he be able to deal with the daily messes and frustrations that come with raising children?  Will he be a true partner if you are sick or tired?

  • How does he behave around his mother?

A good way to tell if your partner will be a good father is to see if he has a good relationship with his mother.  If he is a kind and helpful son, chances are he will also be a good nurturer.

  • Is he generous?

Does the man in your life put others before him? Is he kind and considerate? Or is he too attached to his lifestyle to adapt?  Find out if he is ready and willing to adapt.

  • Is he good with other children?

Watch how he interacts with the children who are already in his life. These can be nieces or nephews or the children of friends. See if he is attentive and caring towards these children.  This will be a good sign of how he will behave with his children.

  • Are you compatible?

Do the two of you get along with each other? The two of you should examine your relationship before you think about having children. If you are unsure, you can consult a trusted psychic. A thorough reading can answer this question.

  • What’s his psychic profile?

After your reading, ask your advisor to help you find out how your horoscopes work together.  Then, see if your life paths will move in the same direction.

While these are not the only determining factors, they are highly important questions to ask before considering having children together. Children are a lifetime commitment that should not be taken lightly, so be certain of your partner.

Meeting Your Guardian Angel through Meditation

7
Meditation

We have used meditation for hundreds of years for different reasons, including developing inner peace and promoting mental, spiritual, and psychical health and well-being. While there are many reasons to meditate, there are no right or wrong reasons to practice it. It can also be used to contact the spiritual world, and many people feel that they can connect with themselves, their guardian angels, and spirit guides through this method.

If you believe in guardian angels and have a strong feeling that you have one out there waiting for you, you can make any attempt to try and reach out to them. Meditation is a fantastic way to ground yourself and discover more about your authentic self, a self that is free from the outside world and societal pressures. So, if you want to meet your guardian angel, try using these meditation practices:

  • Clear Your Mind and Your Head

If you are about to sit down and spend some time meditating, make sure you refrain from having anything mood-altering in your bloodstream, such as caffeinated teas and coffees, alcohol, or any over-the-counter or recreational drugs. Clear and cleanse your body for at least 5 hours before you start meditating.

  • Cleanse The Room You Will Be Meditating In

It is paramount that the room you choose to meditate in is clean from dust, grime, and negative energy.  Burn some frankincense or sage, or just open the windows to allow the static energy to flow out. You might clear out some negative energy while you are doing so.

  • Choose A Comfortable Position

It doesn’t matter how you want to sit or lie, but many people who meditate like to lie flat on their back or sit in the lotus position. So the main thing to do is find a position you are completely comfortable in to achieve maximum relaxation.

  • Be Prepared To Take Some Notes

If you can place a pad and pen beside you while you meditate, this will be helpful when you see images or notice things in your meditation that may link you to your guardian angel. You may also see or hear your guardian angel’s name or see visions of your guardian angel when you meditate. While your eyes are closed, write what you see or notice in your subconscious, and don’t worry about what it looks like on paper. Do not force anything onto the paper; just allow your inner guide to take over. You might be able to make out your guardian angel’s name through your scribbles, giving you a chance to call them directly.

  • Get Ready To Possibly Meet Your Guardian Angel

Now that you are prepared to meet your guardian angel and have kept an open mind to meet them during your spiritual journey of meditating, you can relax. Imagine yourself in the place you feel most comfortable. Some people may refer to it as their “happy place.”

Allow your worries, stresses, and past pains to leave your body and welcome your guardian angel. Welcome your guardian angel internally, or you can physically speak out and ask them to come to you. Be prepared that they may present themselves in all types of forms in your meditative state. For example, you may see an animal or figure you do not understand. Whatever you see and feel, welcome it with open arms and embrace the moment.

You will know within your soul whether your guardian crossed your spiritual path; as you repeat this process every chance you can, you will become closer to them. This connection will lead you onto a path of spiritual enlightenment, and you will, without a doubt, feel less alone in the world and protected.

Numerology and How it Works

Numerology

Have you ever watched the movie (the number 23)? Did you feel puzzled and interested after watching the movie? Did you become more interested in numbers and what lies beneath them? If you want to know more about your life path or obstacles that object to your life, you may need to calculate your birth date.

How to calculate your number?

Write your birth date down; for instance: if your birth date is May 1st, 1982, write 05011982, then add all the numbers together as follows: 0+5+0+1+1+9+8+2, and you will get a total of 26. Now, you need to simplify your number further; add 2+6 to get a single number; most of the birth path numbers are single digits, and if the number you get is 11 or 22, don’t reduce it further. Keep this number in mind because it is a very important number.

What does your number mean?

To get the best information, it is recommended to consult a numerologist. However, we provide you with some of the numerology basics below. So find your number and know what lies beneath.

  • Birth Path Number: 1

Advantages: People who have birth bath number 1 are top leaders and independent people.

Those who have birth path number 22 are idealists and visionaries; however, they can be seen as dramatic and destructive.

If you want to reveal many things about your personality and destiny, you need to know your bath number. Consult with a psychic now over the phone or online to learn more about your birth path number.

Psychic Vampires Take All Your Energy Away

5
Psychic Vampires

As the name suggests, a vampire is a parasite that takes power, energy, or life force from its victims in order to survive. However, psychic vampires don’t creep in your windows and drink your blood. Instead, they drain you of your energy, sucking it up like a vacuum. And, it doesn’t matter whether you’ve heard the term “psychic vampire”; they can still be attacking you and siphoning off your energy.

It’s important to know that these psychic vampires can’t feed off of you if you aren’t somehow inviting them to. If you are projecting a lot of fear and anxiety, lighting a beacon will draw them right to you. If you exude a sense of powerlessness into the world, that’s all the permission that a psychic vampire needs. You don’t have to consent consciously, but feeling too weak to say no to anyone or anything is enough. And they can detect this without you ever saying it out loud.

There is a line between selfishness and selflessness, and most individuals fall somewhere in between the two on the spectrum. But the closer you are to the selfless end of that spectrum, the more willing you are to give people anything they want. Because you’re more likely to be viewed as a doormat, something to be walked all over, your psychic energy reflects this quality. And you’re likely consenting to give someone parts of yourself without even realizing it. Your inability to say the word “no” is taken advantage of by someone who falls on the selfish end of the spectrum, assuming that just because you don’t say otherwise, they can do with you what they will.

Through your willingness to give and please, and the vampire’s willingness to take, the two of you become connected metaphysically. But just because you can’t see the connection with the naked eye doesn’t mean that it’s not a strong connection. In fact, it has to be fairly strong in order for the vampire to siphon off significant amounts of your energy. The Hunas have described these connections as “cords” for centuries. In recent years, a therapist from California named Phyllis Krystal wrote a book called Cutting the Cords, which describes the cord/connection belief of the Hunans and then goes on to explain various ways of “cutting” cords that are harmful to us.

You may be reading this and have the mistaken assumption that all psychic vampires are bad people or that they are intentionally depriving you of your energy. This isn’t always the case, however. For example, you can develop a deep friendship with someone only to discover that they’re inadvertently draining you of your energy. In this case, it isn’t necessarily intentional on either of your parts. You would most likely give your friend anything they needed, giving unconscious consent without even knowing that they could drain you of your energy. And they may not even know they’re taking your energy. But fear not. There are ways to stop the attacks and to keep yourself from draining other people, as well.

How to stop psychic vampires from draining you of your energy

If you suspect that you’ve been unconsciously submitting to psychic vampires draining you of your energy, one of the first things you need to do is declare that you aren’t submitting to this anymore very consciously. You also need to make known to yourself and the universe around you that, from now on, you will only give in healthy ways. This can happen in the form of a spoken mantra, where you state these points clearly, out loud, and with purpose. You can then participate in healthy giving forms, such as charity work, volunteering, etc.

The next thing that you’ll need to do is a form of visualization through meditation. While sitting quietly and meditating, ask to be shown all of the unhealthy connections to you. For example, it’s helpful to know who your psychic vampire is, but not necessary. You then need to visualize yourself severing these ties in some way, such as pulling them out, cutting them with scissors, or whatever feels right to you at that moment. It’s important to note that you may have to repeat this visualization exercise until you feel it’s done, meaning you’ll likely have to do it more than once. But, once it’s done, be sure to forgive and bless all who were involved, including yourself. You should feel relief and a resurgence of energy within a few days.

How to stop yourself from draining energy from others

This is slightly trickier than simply dispelling a psychic vampire. If you suspect that you’re inadvertently draining others around you of their energy, it’s important that you first declare that you have no intention of doing this anymore. Say it out loud, clearly, and with intent. You need to believe that you won’t do it again firmly.

Whether you are a giver or a taker, you will likely encounter this interaction with some degree of frequency throughout the course of your life. Therefore, it’s important to know the signs that you are being drained or that you are draining someone. Some people who are being drained report feeling dizzy and light-headed, and they often experience headaches or feel faint. But everyone is different, and your symptoms may differ, so you’ll need to pay attention and take note. And, you now have the knowledge to solve the problem in a loving, not spiteful way.

The Right Way of Manifesting Power

Manifesting Power

Janice and I met for tea time at our usual spot on the first Sunday of the month. It’s a standing date of ours as she’s my Law of Attraction buddy, so we meet to work on our manifesting superpowers while enjoying the best micro-roasted java in our neighborhood.

As we settled in, I told her, “I’m really struggling with detachment this month—it’s like my brain is just on ‘replay.’”

“Me, too! What planet can we blame it on—Venus?”

We laughed and decided to let Venus’ retro take the blame. Then we began our conversation in earnest.

The Law of Attraction (L of A) is a pet topic of mine right now because there is just so much nonsense out there about manifesting your desires. I was sucked into the easy pop culture version of getting what you want, but, like many of my clients and friends, I found those methods didn’t work. So rather than getting cynical—tempting as that is—I went on a mission to discover how I realistically could make it work. The Law of Attraction is a powerful and real attribute of the Universe. But sister, it isn’t easy. So let’s get into what this law is really about and how to develop it as one of your superpowers.

Are You A Believer?

I’m going to say this straight up: if you don’t believe in something, then this law likely isn’t going to work for you. Whether you take the spiritual approach or the scientific angle, a fundamental aspect of the L of A is belief in a creative Universe. From God to quantum physics, there is a whole spectrum of ways to trust in the power of the human consciousness to create its reality.

Can You Just Shut Up?

Your monkey mind that is. Central to using the L of A is the ability to quiet and focus the mind. Deepak Chopra—arguably a guy who has manifested a pretty good life—says that the first step to using what he calls the “Law of Intention and Desire” is to slip into the “gap.” The place of no mind, the space between inhaling and exhaling, the silence that exists—maybe only for nanoseconds—in-between thoughts.

In other words, to really make this law work, you need a meditative practice. Inside the gap—in the brainwaves of alpha, theta, and even delta—you move past the lizard brain screaming out its alarms of scarcity and fear and release your desires to the Universe.

You’ve also got to shut out those negative, soul-sucking thought patterns that insist that you are powerless, too young, too old, too weird, too stupid—whatever. Instead, see yourself as a creative being with power over her own life. This will be easier with some kind of spiritual practice, but it isn’t necessary as long as you are aware. So, whether your thing is therapy, Tarot cards, prayer, or self-help books, work on opening your conscious awareness of your Self.

Tips for Manifesting

Once you’ve quieted your mind, you can start working on the process of manifestation. Practicing this law is actually fairly simple—not to be confused with easy! But isn’t creating the life you want worth the effort?

Here is a basic framework for working with the L of A:

  • Make a list of what you desire. Look at it several times a day, daydream about it, and imagine what it would be like to have these things. Read the list aloud, then take it into the gap—a meditation space—with you. Visualize releasing your list to the Universe. Practice trusting that you are giving these desires to something else—God, your higher self, the matrix. Do this every day, maybe even twice a day. Unwavering focus on what you want is key.
  • Don’t tell anybody what you want unless they are true supporters and aligned with your best good. This is where a buddy can be helpful. Amalie and I believe in each other 100%, but remember that there are many people with reasons to smack your desires down—even if they love you.
  • Release attachment to the outcome. Yeah. I know. The kicker. Because if you weren’t attached, you wouldn’t want it, right? Your meditation practice will help with detachment, but you have to really focus because most of us are grasping, scared, and hungry inside. We think things have to be a certain way. But when you’ve gotten something you wanted, was it exactly as you thought it might be? From jobs to lovers to dream abodes, usually, there’s something you didn’t anticipate, and often it turns out even better than we imagined. That’s because we typically dream pretty small, and the Universe dreams big. So if we can trust, we can open ourselves to receiving the best version of what we want.
  • Let the Universe handle the details. Remember the adage, “Don’t worry about the how; just put it out there.” Letting go of controlling every detail helps you release attachments.
  • Don’t try to manifest specific people doing specific things. Stick with your own desires. Many other Laws of the Universe are at play that also needs to be followed for the big stuff to really manifest, so just focus on you.

When you start working with the L of A, I recommend embracing it for a long time, like a workout regime or taking a class. Start smallish. Play with fun stuff like manifesting a certain article of clothing at the thrift store or a free cup of coffee. Once you see how this works, you can build your confidence for bigger things.

The Law of Attraction is not a vending machine from God dispensing Ferraris, diamond necklaces, and perfect boyfriends. It’s a spiritual law that is extremely effective but also takes some real energy on your part. Mediocre attention to manifestation will yield mediocre results. It does get easier with practice, but, like anything, you’ve got to do the work. Or play, as I like to think of it.

Consciously or unconsciously, our minds are always broadcasting signals of attraction. The more conscious we can become with manifestation, the more effectively we can create what we want (as opposed to what we don’t want, the specialty of the subconscious). Working on yourself is the way to becoming more aware and powerful in your life.

Better Life through Meditation and Affirmation

6
Meditation

Life can be so poor and ordinary. Meditation, coupled with Affirmation, is the tilling and the planting of seeds for your most beautiful garden! What do you want to see bloom in your life? 

  • Do you want to lose weight?
  • Earn more money?
  • Find the love of your life?
  • Live your purpose to the fullest extent?

Understanding Meditation

Powerful studies show the effectiveness of meditation. Meditation is often misunderstood. It does not have to be boring, nor done in the morning or right before bed. Meditation does not belong to one religion or culture. There are no rules to meditation. However, I believe regular practice time is important for general well-being.

Meditation is…

A handy tool that is with you all the time, wherever you go and whenever you need it.

An emotional, mind, body, and spirit “go-to” for when you need to feel centered and grounded.

A connection to your highest state of being and communication with God, Source, the Divine.

The calming of your mind, body, and emotions, meditation may be looked at as an equivalent to prayer time.

The Power of Affirmation

Carefully crafted affirmations are words that seed your whole being. The power of affirmation, mantras, and chants is recognized all over the world in many different societies and cultures. An affirmation is a positive thought that affirms a positive feeling. Your word is your magic wand, speak it, and so it is.

Examples of Positive Affirmations:

  • I am slim
  • I am joyful
  • I am healthy
  • I am a 6-figure income earner

You can be detailed in your affirmations; the more detailed you are, the more clear and profound the seed is for yourself and the Universe to recognize (i.e., are you just planting flowers in your garden? Or are you planting white roses, Shasta daisies, and mammoth sunflowers?)

Go into your state of meditation and chant aloud or repeat the words in your mind of your carefully crafted affirmation, and begin to feel you are living the words of your affirmation. The “I am” is the most powerful statement you can say; the “I am” claims what words you place after it. You may find this effective when you need a tool to shift or change your habitual thoughts or behaviors (for example: combating negative self-talk, putting down the cigarette, stepping away from the donut).

Meditating by feeling emotionally connected to your affirmation, your highest self, and God, you will begin to radiate a higher level of energy. As a result, you will begin to see changes happening in your life; opportunities will arise as the affirmations will transform from your words and thoughts to become manifest and realized.

You truly can live your dreams; the process is in universe and mind, body, and spirit alignment. This is a manifestation and implementation of the law of attraction.

A colorful garden full of life blooms awaits you! Begin your seeding now.

Be Free Through Travel

7
Travel

You don’t have to make laborious plans to have a memorable trip.  Sometimes the best adventures happen in the spur of the moment.  Sometimes the universe presents the perfect opportunity for a quick, soul-refreshing journey.

Spontaneity vs. Planned

When you plan a trip, you can make arrangements for side benefits such as a spa day or restaurant reservations.  You can also work extra things into your schedule. However, the only thing to look forward to is the adventure if you choose to travel on the fly.

Distance and company do not matter

When you take a spontaneous trip, you can take anyone and go anywhere. You don’t have to make arrangements for travel or accommodation. Since you are making the calls, you can decide or not!  There is a sense of empowerment when you realize that you are the one in charge and nothing will stop you or get in your way.

Ideas

If you do not think you are spontaneous enough to let yourself go, there are several apps you can out.  There are several that can help you take an idea all the way to an adventure.

Technology has many solutions. You can use GPS to help you decide what to do and where to go based on your location, even if you just jump in the car and head out.

TripAdvisor is a great resource for scoping out places to see and things to do.   If you don’t have access to a car, Zip Car may be a solution.  If you want to travel abroad, there is an app called Adioso. It can help you pick a place and keep an open agenda.

Your soul and your psyche need a break

Sometimes your very spirit wants a peaceful break and to get away from the routine. You will know when and where you need to go; your soul will tell you. It may be a quiet retreat in the hills. You may want to drive to the beach.   You can use your apps to help find the spot and set a budget.

No matter who you are, you deserve a respite from all of the trials and tribulations of daily life.  Traveling is an excellent way to get away from it all.  Any break is excellent for a change in perspective.

6 Steps to Dealing with a Lack of Motivation

7
Lack of Motivation

It’s quite natural to feel stuck from time to time. When you feel as though you’re caught in a rut, it’s always difficult to pull yourself out. There are some fairly simple solutions, though—following these six steps should get you out of your purgatory in no time.

  1. Come to terms with the situation you’re in

Don’t focus on your desired state of affairs. Your lack of energy will be much more quickly resolved if you address it head-on. While it’s useful that your mind will paint an idealized picture of how things should be and what your goals are, it’s worth remembering that you should not trust your mind to make all your decisions.

If you fully relax into the situation, you will find it much easier to come to terms with it. Bring your decision-making to a lull, and your newly instated ‘laid-back’ attitude should open up your mental focus to new possibilities.

  1. Stop thinking of yourself as ‘lazy.’

Inactivity is not necessarily ‘laziness.’ You should realize that, despite the negativity with which inactivity is viewed in our culture, not everything benefits from being 100% productive 100% of the time.

Cycles benefit from inactivity. Autumn and winter cause inactivity in vegetation and flora, yet spring and summer bring beautiful blossoms that allow life to proceed more efficiently.

Your productivity levels work similarly: ebbs and flows, peaks and troughs. In order for a renewal of energy and motivation, you need to accept that there have to be lulls in both. Once you come to terms with this and stop viewing the situation negatively, you will begin progressing to full productivity again.

  1. Stop, think, and wait

Until your energy levels return to normal, refrain from drastic decisions. If you don’t have the motivation for it, it won’t work. You will enter a burnout stage where your productivity is lower than ever. The restoration occurs within the body and mind, so your outward actions have no say in the matter. You’ll just make the situation worse.

  1. Acknowledge the temporary nature of your ‘lull.’

Everyone has at least a modicum of fear that life is finite, so most people try to rush to cram in as many things as they can before it ends. Once again, constant activity is never a good thing. The flip side of realizing that ‘nothing lasts forever’ is knowing that your lull will not last forever.

Acknowledging this is an important factor in aligning yourself with the flow of the universe. Once you are on board with that, you will find it much easier to get your mojo back. Rest is required to boost productivity, so try to refrain from stressing out over this current lack of energy.

  1. Have some ‘me time’

Pushing yourself forward when you don’t have the energy for it is, once again, a huge mistake. Try spending as much time as possible doing absolutely nothing. It’ll work wonders because doing nothing allows you time to reflect on life; you will become more mindful if you take time out of your routine to walk in nature. Once you have done this, you will find you are more aligned with the flow of your life.

  1. Believe in the integrity of the universe

Life will take you on the journey you need, so there’s no point in resisting it. As we said before, the ebb-and-flow is required for optimizing your productivity levels. Only through this current lull can your life become the best it can be. This, too, shall pass if you trust the universe to transport you to your destination.

Start Anew with New Surroundings

5
New Surroundings

Moving to a new environment can be frightening and open up many doubts, but you might need to face it anytime, so just be ready to make it work. The fact of the matter is that moving is difficult and stressful; it often compares to death and divorce as a leading stressor in relationships. In addition, throwing a possible job change, navigating a new city, and getting established in a new location can be positively daunting.

Even in the face of all these challenges, you should look at your relocation as a way to make a fresh start in a new location. So instead of stressing about the difficulties, focus on the exciting new opportunities that lie ahead of you and follow these steps to make yourself at home.

  • Get Involved

Think back to when you were a child, and it was so simple to make new friends. It seemed as though you could just orbit around another kid that was near you, and suddenly, you were friends. But, instead of shared history, proximity was the primary foundation of these quick friendships.

Take friendship advice from your younger self and get involved in activities that are likely to put you in contact with people who have the same interests, hobbies, or values as you. Whether joining a sports team, a church, or volunteering at a local nonprofit, getting involved in the local community is an excellent way to fast-track new friendships.

  • Get Lost… In Your Surroundings

Make a date with yourself and put it on your calendar to play tourist in your new home. See the sights and get to know the routes. Get adventurous and do it without the aid of navigation! Getting lost in your surroundings will help you know your new community and which grocery store you prefer. Who knows, you may even discover some alternative routes that will help you bypass morning traffic!

  • Get Inspired

Moving is a fantastic opportunity to evaluate your belongings and decide what stays and what goes. As you pack, take the time to think about what each item brings to your life and how it adds value. Don’t waste your time and energy packing and moving broken things or items that have outlived their usefulness in your life.

Once you’ve cleared the clutter and moved the items most necessary to you, add inspiring elements of your new location to your home. Whether you found a local artist whose work speaks to you or you frame a picture of a scenic local attraction, adding an element of your new community to your home décor helps bridge the gap between your past and present.

Whether you move often or are planning the move of a lifetime, there are steps you can take to embrace a fresh start in a new location. While you can’t ignore the work and effort it takes to start new, focusing on the new opportunities and potential of a place will help you overcome any obstacles that you encounter.

Are You Losing Yourself?

5
lose yourself in the relationship

It’s best to be in love, especially if they love you back, but you must be careful that you know the line between healthy love and co-dependent love. If you second guess yourself more than you used to and always ask your partner for their opinion, you might have slipped into a co-dependent relationship. Sometimes it feels so natural to lose yourself in your partner and to truly feel it is OK. It is not OK because you are losing your self-worth and independent nature at the same time. Take a step back and start treating yourself more healthily. Here is how you can get back to yourself and improve your relationship.

Take a step back and start treating yourself more healthily.

  • Spend Quality Time with Loved Ones

When people spend their free time only with their partner and forget the other people that care about them, this is considered a co-dependent trait. Visit your parents, or spend time with close friends who have missed your company. Commit at least one night a week to spending time with loved ones other than your partner. This will improve your relationship because you will have some space and more things to talk about when you need it.

  • Do What You Love

Listen to your heart and remember the things you used to love doing. Sometimes we drop our old loves, such as writing, painting, sports, or dancing, when we get together with someone new. They might not have the same interests as you, so you let yours go. Grab hold of these passions and start practicing them again. All of these hobbies and passions make up who you are. Find them again and let your creativity flow.

  • Exercise Your Rights

When couples get together, they reach a whole new comfort level. This can sometimes lead to a decrease in exercise and activity. Give yourself the pleasure of walking at least 3-5 times a week, going to the gym, or taking a yoga class. Remember that exercise is great for your health, and this should not be ignored because you are in love. Love yourself first.

  • Nurture Your Spirit

We tend to think we get all of our spiritual needs from our partners when we need to nurture our spirit. It isn’t about going to a temple or church. You can nurture your spirit by reading self-help or spiritual books or doing some meditation. You might even benefit from having a psychic reading to help you find your true self and direction again.

  • Know “How-To” Do It

Take that course you have always wanted. Whether it’s pottery or marketing 101, the more you know, the better. Sometimes we stay in one place when we are happy in love, and we even forget some of our goals. Share your goals with your partner and then take action to move toward them.

This will all help improve your relationship and allow both partners to have lives outside the relationship. Being able to love someone and keep some independence is important for relational health.
