By Tana Hoy

Among the many different reasons why life continues to go on, love is perhaps the most rational answer. However sometimes, because of too many definitions and descriptions about love, people will later find out how vague, uncertain, and misunderstood love is. This is most probably because love, no matter how popular it is, can always be unpredictable and sometimes unrelenting. So while others prefer to be lonely yet safe, and others risky and hurt, there is now a better option to pursue when love comes knocking on your door, this is getting a psychic reading. A psychic reading will do more than you can possibly imagine. It will help you unravel the mysteries and solve the puzzle of the much celebrated phenomenon of love.

A psychic reading in general will greatly help us in whatever endeavors we put our hearts to. It is that magic potion no. 9, where after it you will be able to see clearer and gear towards your fairytale ending. Here are 5 was wherein psychic reading could be of great benefit to your cupid-struck heart:

1. A psychic reading can help you know more about yourself. Knowing more about yourself, will teach you to be a better person. Being a better person, means being a better partner (if you are currently in a relationship), or being able to find the right partner (in case you are single).

2. The truth can be revealed through a psychic reading. It is helpful in helping you discern the true meaning of the words, and actions shown by your partner, because a psychic reading can reveal the true intentions of your significant other. By this, you can tell if your partner is being honest, or faithful.

A psychic ability is present in every person. However, because the signs and symptoms are too simple and common, people tend not to see that they have a special gift.

Most of the time, we do not realize that we are already showing signs of psychic abilities. Signs of a psychic ability can be manifested in simple ways such as a gut feeling, visions of things that are about to happen, and intuition. Because these things happen, often times many people think that they are mere coincidence. However, a strong intuition that comes true all the time is not a simple coincidence. After all, humans are by nature, intuitive, and intuition is a psychic ability.

By Samantha Sanderson

Tarot psychic readings can be had in two different forms. There are question readings and open readings. At first it may be better to choose a question reading as you can learn information about a specific aspect of your life, be it relationship or financial.

It is important to choose the questions wisely and they should not be too open ended otherwise the advice and guidance may not be specific enough to make a real difference to you. Also, these questions are best being asked about yourself rather than others and should be positive in nature rather than negative.

When you ask the question the tarot reader will draw out your cards and lay them down on the table. They will then interpret their meanings to give you an answer to your question. But you should understand that this knowledge that is given to you is not meant to make a decision for you, it should be used to help you to make a decision.

This is quite useful if you are about to make a big change in your life, such as relocation or starting a family. It can help you to be mentally prepared for any issues that may arise.

When choosing a tarot reader it pays to do a little research so that you can be sure the individual is genuine and trusted. Most online psychics should have reviews available by their past clients.

Learning the Psychic Ways of Levitation

By Tana Hoy

Perhaps if people are asked what kind of special power they want to have, many will probably say the ability to fly. Who doesn't want to fly? But to some people, to fly is nothing more than imagination, wherein you can fly by thinking of happy thoughts and getting fairy dust from Tinkerbell. But believe it or not, there is an existing psychic gift that allows you to fly!

The psychic realm is real, as real as our existence; and the psychic gift of levitation exists. Through levitation, a psychic could lift or make any object or body float on air, without any support of stands or strings. The only thing utilized here is the power of the mind.

Having defined levitation, you might wonder how these extraordinary people came to possess this extremely rare psychic talent? How were they able to levitate?

We have already defined levitation, how it evolved, and the various views of people around the world. Now one will curiously ask -- how does a person actually levitate? Many people are not aware of this, but each person has an innate psychic side, just waiting to be unlocked. Yes, you may even possess the power to levitate! Like any other psychic gift, levitation has necessary steps for its development and enhancement.

There are steps to master the art of levitation. A precaution however, these steps are not easy, and it is not an overnight thing you can master. Mastering levitation requires a good amount of hard work on your part, and an open mind.

PURIFICATION OF THE BODY. Your physical body must be clean in all aspects. This engulfs your whole lifestyle -- including your diet, rest, exercise and even sex. No psychic gift can dwell and flourish in an impure body. This would probably sounds weird, but yes, your body must be purified in such a way that you abstain from any form of sex.

MAGNIFICATION OF THE MIND. Secondly, the mind should be empowered. Levitation requires a powerful mind in order to be achieved. You can do this through proper meditation. This is also the key to clearing your thoughts from unwholesome and unclean thoughts. Through proper meditation you will be able to achieve a feeling of lightness which in return will help you levitate.

AWAKENING THE SPIRIT. The last thing you need to perfect is to gain a firm and strong connection to the spirit within you. You must possess the will power to pursue your journey of unlocking your hidden psychic power.

Levitation is a very remarkable psychic gift, but you cannot learn how to accomplish it overnight. It requires utmost discipline, dedication, and an open mind, combined with these three key secrets, to fully unleash the potential of your levitating power.

Until the last century only mystics, scholars and saints had access to the records. The most well known Akashic reader from the last century was Edgar Cayce. Because of the change in energy on the planet in the last few decades, reading your records has become easier.

Your choice to come to earth was fueled by the desire to accelerate and grow as much as possible. You chose your family group carefully to help you learn specific life lessons. Your friends, relatives and acquaintances mutually agreed to help you on your journey. You sat with your masters, teachers and loved ones to determine the plan of action and who would fit each job well. You have free will of course which gives you the chance to change anything at anytime.

If you ask yourself the question, "Why do I keep doing this?" . Then you are trying to understand your blueprint, your Akashic records. Why you chose what you chose . By having a reading done you can heal past patterns and blocks that no longer serve you. Once you understand the lessons of your soul by hearing the truth, you release yourself from repeating the same pattern. Your blueprint changes immediately, therefore the outcome of your future.

Once you understand what the lessons are and hear the truth, you do not have to make the same mistakes over and over again. You have the benefit of making different choices, healing blocks and accelerating your growth.

Psychic Reading - Ruling Out 5 Doubts

By Tana Hoy

People have always been curious about a psychic reading. Do you ever wonder why more and more people are drawn to the idea of getting a psychic reading? Is there really any truth in these readings?

By definition, a psychic reading is a way to know more about the past, present, and the future, through extrasensory means. A reading can be done in different ways, by using tools such as (tarots, tea leaves, etc), or by just reading one's energy or aura. Though many people believe in the powers of a psychic reading, there are still those who doubt its capabilities. Here are the top 5 frequently asked questions about a psychic reading:

CAN A PSYCHIC READING LET ME COMMUNICATE WITH THE OTHER SIDE?

There are special persons called psychic mediums. These psychic mediums are not just your plain psychics, they are even more powerful -- because they can communicate with the other side! A psychic medium gives a unique form of psychic reading, a psychic medium reading. In this type, the psychic medium will not only be able to know your past, present, and future, they can even know the insights of loved ones who have passed on, regarding these matters.

CAN A PSYCHIC READING FIND ME MY TRUE LOVE OR SOUL MATE?

It is a given fact that psychics can see into the future, and your love life is not an exemption. Since psychics have a better understanding of everything in general, they are able to give sound love advice.

CAN A PSYCHIC READING GUIDE ME WITH MY CAREER?

A psychic reading gives you a better understanding of things in general. This is because through it, the psychic will identify your strengths and weaknesses, and even your potentials. It then follows, that a psychic can give you good career advice, because they are able to know the future, and at the same time let you know what is to come, so that you can prepare for it.

CAN A PSYCHIC READING HELP ME WITH FAMILY LIFE?

Once you understand the past and the present, it follows that you can prepare better for the future. This is because you can learn from your mistakes and bank on your strengths. When family matters are concerned, the same principle also applies -- a psychic reading can make you more insightful and aware of things, therefore, making you much wiser in dealing with situations, and making decisions.

CAN A PSYCHIC READING GUARANTEE BETTER HEALTH AND WELLNESS?

Though psychics are not doctors, the ability to see the future is very powerful, and they can warn you of what is to come, like if a storm is about to cloud your wellness and health. This in turn, will help you prepare or change your lifestyle, health-wise.

Of course, there are many other questions that people have about a psychic reading. The argument here though is not that if they believe in its existence, or not. The main reason why people have so many questions about readings done by psychics is that they are very much curious to try it too, but they are hesitant because they do not know much about the wonders of the psychic realm.

Understanding The World Of Psychics And Mediums

By Samantha Sanderson

People are increasingly turning to psychics and mediums to help bring a sense of order and balance to their emotional lives. With each giving a slightly different approach, it is important that differences are understood and precautions are taken.

It could actually be said each one of us is psychic. However, controlling the sense is the tricky aspect, and only with years of learning can be truly mastered. Essentially, a psychic can be described as a person that senses and channels these energy senses from other higher conscious planes, in order to deliver them in a sensical way to all.

Separate to this, mediums work in a very different way to achieve similar results. These people are used by the spirit world to communicate with the human world. Mediums allow themselves to be led by their spirit guides through messages and actions.

Controlling the spirits is not an easy task and, as a result, takes years of mastering to truly appreciate and be able to use to help others. Many spurious people claim to be able to contact the recently deceased. However, this is rarely done by even the most experienced; being riddled with instability and danger.

There are a host of methods that both psychics and mediums can employ; ranging from tarot cards, to stones, from palm readings to tea leaves. It is a very personal expression.

Increasingly, readings can be conducted over the phone, though this is something that only well practiced and well learned members of this society should attempt. As it is open to abuse, it is important that only vetted and accredited persons are engaged with.

It is here that services such as those offered by Keen.com can help. As a psychics and mediums broker, they ensure that you are protected and receive only the most appropriate guidance. With their help, it is unlikely you will have to be pained with your thoughts and concerns for very much longer.

Legitimate Sites Do Offer Tarot Card Free Readings

By Samantha Sanderson

Tarot card free readings can be a great way to learn more about tarot or can also just be something fun to explore if you are at all curious about how tarot works. Before you start you do need to be aware that each tarot reading is different due to the skills and experience of the tarot reader. In general a free tarot reading may not be overly specific and be much more basic then a paid reading which will be tailored specifically to you.

Free online tarot readings use software to choose the cards rather than a person and then the software provides the different meanings for each card, from a list of possible explanations for each card. This provides a very generalized reading and is neutral for the person. So the reading could actually be applied to anyone.

If you are a true believer in what tarot has to offer then this information will be meaningless. Real tarot needs the insight that a person brings to the cards. There are free online readings that are done by an actual person and if you believe in the divination power of tarot then these are the types of readings you should be on the lookout for.

Many professional tarot readers will offer free tarot readings to draw in more customers and it is this that you should be on the lookout for.

You should keep your eyes peeled for these promotional readings. When looking you should book mark some professional and legitimate sites. Many tarot readers may belong to a specific site that utilizes their talents and you may be able to choose from several different tarot readers. Each reader is different so make sure you find one that you like.

No matter what aspect of tarot interests you tarot card free readings can help provide clarity. Once you have found a good site you should stick with it as a tarot reader that is experienced will be worth your while.

Why Animal Zodiac Symbols Are Important For Oriental New Year

By John Chan

The Chinese animal symbols for zodiac signs are something which we know already. The New Year celebrations highlight this fact to a great extent and explain how they are part of the Chinese culture.

The Chinese people believe that their zodiac symbolism is scientifically confirmed. But as you get to know the legends behind these signs you may not feel the same way. However the theory of drawing a parallel between human nature and zodiac animals' behavior by the ancient philosophers is a cause of interest for many.

The Chinese used to follow a intricate calendar system prior to adopting the zodiac symbols to represent the 12 cycles. The initial system was too difficult for the masses to understand and was hence replaced by the system that gives us the 12 animals in their cyclic order.

Each New Year is attributed to an animal. The year of the same animal comes back after every twelve years. People born in the year of a particular animal are believed to have the qualities of that animal. Keep in mind these character sketches have been drawn by Chinese thinkers which may or may not capture the essence of the animal's behavior or their connection with human behavior.

The animal which represents a particular year has a lot of importance during New Year celebration. A number of activities are done to show it. They make it apparent to the people that this is the year of say ox by making ox puppets for the parade or dressing up like the animal of the for live performance.

You will also be able to find a wide range of decoration items taking up the animal of the year as the main subject. Such art work is widely available in every store and even on stalls on the streets. Many people wear the animal of the year on their T-shirts that feature the animal in some form of artistic expression. Similarly there are many other fashion accessories that revolve around the animal of the year and are very popular during the Chinese New Year season.

The New Year animals have now acquired a new interest outside China and are gradually becoming known to the world in general. The non Chinese are truly intrigued by the concept of animal representing a human and want to know the source and which animal year they belong to. Also they are interested in finding out if their characteristics match with that of the animals. That is why Chinese are taking trouble to popularize their animal theme during New Year.

For the western world the zodiac animal symbols from China are amusing. The Chinese themselves have little belief in the validity of the character evaluation done between the animals and humans. The importance of animal symbols is limited to the New Year festival celebration and something which are a source of amazement to the people.

When you consider the famous origins of the innovation of the concept of the twelve animals the story becomes even clearer. Basically the New Year zodiac animals are a figment of someone's imagination that has found currency over the centuries and has become a major part of the Chinese culture.

A Psychic Medium: How Do They See into the Future?

By Tana Hoy

Life is full of mysteries. Have you ever wished you had the answers to why things in the past have happened, why the present is as it is, or what the future holds? People always say that life is unpredictable and some things just cannot be explained. But with a psychic medium, all of these explainations are possible.

A psychic medium is a special kind of psychic. A psychic medium has the rare ability to communicate with the other side! Unlike any regular psychic, a psychic medium can see, hear, feel, and communicate, with those who have passed on. Aside from this, they can also communicate with spirit guides and guardian angels.

A psychic medium is not 100% like your ordinary psychic, in fact, they are more gifted than them. A psychic medium has a higher gift, which is the ability to communicate with those who have crossed beyond the veil. Communicating with these departed ones is something unique to psychic mediums alone.

As we have defined earlier, a psychic medium is more extraordinary than just any psychic. This also means they have the sixth sense, on top of the five normal human senses that allows them to see, hear, feel, and communicate with the unseen. They also have highly developed what is called the third eye, which allows them to see beyond time and space.

So how can a psychic medium see into the future? Simple, a psychic medium has the ability to channel or tap into another dimension using their psychic ability. This special skill allows them to see or sense another person or event, regardless of boundaries -- be it from another time, place, or realm. This is the reason why psychic mediums are able to read your past, present, future - and even communicate with the other side.

To illustrate how a psychic medium's powers work, let us compare it to a video camera on a PC. Because of this device, you will be able to see what is happening in another place despite the distance. Cameras on a PC can do this by transmitting electrical signals from one place to another using a satellite as a channel. Similarly, psychic mediums do this, but instead of electrical signals, they use a powerful spiritual force which allows them to go beyond distance, and even beyond time.

A psychic medium can see the past, present, or future in two ways. They can either voluntarily or involuntarily see these dimensions. When a psychic medium wants to voluntarily see into another dimension (this is usually done during their readings), they concentrate on channeling their energy to go beyond the borders of time and space. On the other hand, involuntarily seeing means they see the past, present, or future, in their dreams, or through visions that just flash out of nowhere.

A psychic medium is the best person to see if you want to communicate with those who have passed on. They bridge the gap between the world we live in and the other dimension invisible to the naked eye. Aside from this, a psychic medium reading is also a good source of guidance, because they cannot only see the past, present, and future, a psychic medium can ask your loved ones who have passed on for advice on your future endeavors.

Telepathy: The Psychic Mind Language

By Tana Hoy

Was there ever a time in your life wherein for some reason, you could hear someone's thoughts? Or how about knowing what someone was about to say, before he or she had said it? Have you ever experienced wanting something to happen, and at the end, it did happen? If you have experienced either one of these things, it is a sign that you have a psychic ability known as telepathy.

Telepathy, as defined by the Merriam and Webster, is the "communication from one mind to another by extrasensory means." The term telepathy was first coined by a researcher named Fredric W. H. Myers way back in 1882. This term was developed to replace the old expression "thought-transference" which they once used to describe mind reading. Technically speaking, telepathy is a psychic gift that allows people to communicate with each other, only through the mind. Also, a person with the psychic gift of telepathy, is able to read the minds of others, and even control them.

A person with telepathic abilities is considered to have a very strong extrasensory perception or ESP. There are two forms of telepathy -- it can either be projective or perceptive. A perceptive telepathic is one that can receive and read thoughts of others well. One good example is knowing who is calling before you even answer the phone. On the other hand, perceptive telepathy focuses on projecting or sending thoughts to others, such as thinking of someone to call you and it happens.

This psychic power is so popular these days, that it is often depicted in fictional characters. Take for example from X-Men alone. Professor X and Jean Grey both have telepathic powers. Kids are fond of them, adults do not seem to be. Why? Because they think that these powers are not real. Well yes, these movie characters are just fictional, but telepathy with psychics is real, because psychics are real. In fact, the psychic community calls the telepathic ability as the "psychic mind language".

Despite the many occasions that a psychic has demonstrated telepathy, there are still many out there who still refuse to believe its reality. This is because that there is no scientific basis on how any psychic gift came to be, and this is why people doubt the existence of such psychic powers.

What these skeptics don't know, is that telepathy has been used all throughout the world's history and until now. Take for example the mother-baby relationships. We are all aware that new born babies do not know how to speak, or convey their wants or needs through body language. Yet, their mothers always know what these babies need and want.

The word psychic refers to the mind, and we are all born psychic. This means that all of us has an innate psychic ability within us that lay dormant because we are not aware about it. For individuals who are aware and accept their gifts however, they have reached a stornger telepathic degree than others; and like any other talents, telepathy can be enhanced and further developed as well through acceptance, meditation, and practice.

The psychic mind language of telepathy is indeed a remarkable ability. What is even more remarkable, is that anyone with the right mindset and will power, has the ability to learn this gift.

By John Chan

Do you want to find out the menu that is prepared for the feasting during the New Year season's celebrations? Come let us get information on it.

Food is an important segment of the (entire|whole) Chinese New Year celebrations as the Chinese people are quite serious about their feeding habits. The Chinese people put the food part of the celebrations on the highest priority level and hence it plays a central role during the festival undoubtedly.

Generally, during this time of the New Year celebrations, ordinary food is not served. The food served is believed to be food of good fortune and this food service goes on for two weeks after the New Year begins. It is known as the Spring Festival because New Year falls during the season of spring with reference to the lunar calendar.

The cuisine set for the New Year celebrations consists no ordinary food and has some sort of symbolical meaning taggedto it as Chinese people believe in symbolism. A full chicken that is eaten as a must during New Years feasts, represents togetherness of family. All dishes eaten during this time have some symbolism or the other and are considered to be lucky food.

One of the standard practice of the Chinese people is serving noodles as a part of the festive food during the New Year celebrations. Noodles symbolize longevity. They also believe that if the noodles are cut, it brings bad fortune and hence they use uncut noodles.

Clams and spring rolls are other food items that are offered during this New Year festival. They are quite delicious with a moith watering taste and also they symbolize prosperity. The clams derive their symbolism from their bouillon shape and spring rolls derive it from their gold bar shape.

There is also a scientific approach to the choice of food that is selected to be a lucky food to be served during the New Year's season and this depends on the way the particular food sounds. For example lettuce when pronounced in the Chinese lingo sounds like increasing fortune. thus all lucky food is commonly covered in lettuce leaves while being served during the New Years.

Fruits that are available in plenty during the spring time also falls under the categoryof symbolic food that is served during the New Year festival. Two of the most important fruits that are eaten at this festive time are oranges and tangerines. This is because when they are pronounced in Chinese, they sound like prosperity and fortune. Another fruit that plays a significant role in Chinese New Year foods is grapefruit and it is a symbol of abundance.

Prettysurprisingly, fish is related to wish as it sounds to the Chinese and it is one of the central food items served during the occasion of New Year. Chinese supper during the Eve of New Year always concludes with the eating of a whole fish as it symbolizes abundance and togetherness.

Sweets and steamed cakes like sticky rice cakes are also served during the New Year time and message that it shares is that people can seek for good things to come with the advancement of a New Year.

Intuition: Psychic Ability or Mere Coincidence?

By Tana Hoy

In our daily lives a lot of things that are happening around us, are not mere coincidences. Although some of them are influenced by the decisions that we make, oftentimes, we have a hunch about something which was actually bound to happen. We usually refer to this as a gut feeling. But formally, this is known as the psychic ability of intuition. If you have a feeling of something that is going to happen and it actually did happen you are exhibiting signs of a psychic ability.

The psychic ability of intuition is complex. This is why intellectuals who are associated with the art of philosophy and the sciences of psychology, are trying to rationalize the complexity of this psychic ability. Yes, intuition is a psychic ability. By definition intuition means that it is the act of knowing what will happen without logical explanation. Intuition has been the main discussion of many intellectuals both in the past and at present, mainly because there is no concrete logic behind this amazing gift.

But then they say, to be intuitive is human nature, so there seems to be nothing extraordinary about it. However, many people do not know that everyone has some degree of psychic ability within, and some people seem to have stronger psychic powers compared to others. As a concrete example, there are a chosen few whose strong intuition rarely fails to give the foreseen results, while there are those whose gut feeling is not right quite as often. To most people, intuition may seem nothing more than just mere coincidence, and not any special ability. But then, if you're hunch is always right, that surely isn't coincidence anymore.

Being able to find lost objects is an ordinary thing. But then, to be able to find things against the odds is a different story. Being able to find these lost items without having a clue is unexplainable, especially if it was your first time in a certain place and upon setting foot in that place you knew right away where it was. All that you had was a hunch, a gut feeling, an intuition. No logic or science will be able to explain this.

Instances like the one stated, are just one example of a strong intuitive psychic ability at work.

The intuitive psychic ability may come in simpler ways. Sometimes, the most ordinary situations that we encounter, like being able to know who is calling on the phone before even answering the call, or having a gut feeling if something is about to happen whether good or bad, is also part of our innate psychic ability.

But then, there will always be those people who will say that intuition is not a psychic ability at all; that it is nothing but coincidence. However, it can't be called a coincidence if your gut feeling seems to be always right.

However, because intuitive skills are innate in every person, some people see nothing special about it. This is why it is important to hone your intuitive psychic ability. If you feel that your intuition is right most of the time, this is already a sign of a strong intuitive psychic ability; you must then take the opportunity to develop this gift. Who knows, somewhere in your journey to unlock your inner psychic, you might even discover a more powerful ability just waiting to be unleashed.

By Tana Hoy

In a person's life, there will always be an instance that some things happen without any logical reason. A simple example is when someone gets that gut feeling about what's going to happen, and it happens. Well, most people will say it might just be pure luck or coincidence. But then, coincidences do not happen all the time; this is already psychic phenomena at work.

Signs of psychic abilities come in the simplest forms, such as being able to read other's minds, having a gut feeling about something, or being able to tell who's calling on the phone before you even pick it up. So now the question is, what do you do when you notice signs of a psychic ability within yourself? What else -- improve and develop it. A psychic gift can be compared to a bar of gold worth treasuring, but then, it can be a heavy iron bar if you do not wholeheartedly accept your special ability.

Each person has an innate psychic side. But very few people have strong psychic gifts. Because everyone has an innate psychic gift, anyone is capable of unlocking their special power. Here are 5 steps to awaken your psychic side:

Telekinetic Psychic Ability - How to Unleash its Full Power

By Tana Hoy

Telekinesis is a very popular psychic ability. By definition, telekinesis is a rare psychic ability that allows a person to move things or objects, using only the mind. When a person has a telekinetic psychic ability, he or she can make a pencil float on air, flip pages of a magazine, or turn the hands of a clock, using only the power of their mind.

Although telekinesis is a popular psychic ability, it is a very rare gift. Because of its rare nature, some people think telekinesis is not possible. But mind you, it is real and many famous psychics have shown how this extraordinary power works. Truth is, every person has some degree of a psychic ability within, but they are not just aware of their hidden powers.

Since a psychic ability is innate in each person, these hidden talents can be unlocked and developed to reach their full potential. True telekinetic power can be unleashed in 3 steps. These are enumerated as follows:

STEP 1: BEING IN THE RIGHT STATE OF MIND. Being in the right state of mind means being in focus with the right mindset - the right purpose and motivation. To be to successfully unlock your psychic side, you must have the right reasons for wanting to develop your special psychic ability. You need to have focus on your goal (which is to hone your special gift), and have the will power and mindset to achieve your goal. Though you are focused on your goal and to achieve it, you must always keep an open mind at all times.

STEP 2: CLEANSING YOURSELF. The next step is to cleanse yourself. Now that you have had the proper mind set and focus to achieve your goal, you must now concentrate in the ways to get to your destination. Take note, no psychic ability can flourish in unpure and unclean vessels. You need to cleanse yourself so that you can take in new knowledge and a new way of life. You may start the cleansing process by shifting to a more health and clean lifestyle. Remember, your goal as you cleanse yourself, is to create an ideal environment for nourishing your psychic ability.

STEP 3: PRACTICING YOUR GIFT. The third step of course is to practice. Set a regular time schedule to practice. When you practice, be consistent. A lot of people, as in any other goal, when they don't set aside time to practice that goal, often become unsuccessful. Start practicing your psychic ability by planning things out. Make a systematic method in order to achieve your goal. Just remember, it takes a lot of effort to learn this psychic ability, and it will really take a huge amount of practice.

These are just three steps to hone the basics of your telekinetic psychic ability. Of course, there are other advanced methods you can use, and you can even seek guidance or professional advice from psychics in your journey to discover your inner psychic ability.

However, no matter what method you use to develop telekinesis, always remember that everything can't be done overnight. Developing a psychic gift takes time, dedication, commitment, and utmost discipline.

Psychic Reading: What Can You Get From It?

By Tana Hoy

How about you, have you ever thought of trying a psychic reading for yourself? Psychic reading is one of the most amazing things that tickle the interest of many people. In fact, there are even a number of individuals who regularly seek for a reading. Do you ever wonder why they do so?

Psychics have special gifts, they can even have more than one special power. A psychic may be able to read minds, see the future, see spirits and communicate with the other side, and many more. A psychic is a gifted person capable to see what a normal person fails to see. This is the reason why people want to see a psychic -- to get a better understanding of things in general.

People have many different reasons in getting a psychic reading. A psychic reading is a good source of guidance towards a better life; it very helpful especially for those who are lost and confused. In general, here are 5 things that can be better understood through a psychic reading:

COMMUNICATION WITH THE OTHER SIDE There is a special type of psychic reading called a psychic medium reading. In this form of reading, your psychic medium will be able to bridge the communication gap between you and your spirit guides, guardian angels, and even with your loved ones who have passed on. Messages from spirit guides, guardian angels, or spirits of loved ones, may be able to give you the advice and answers you seek regarding your past, present, or your future.

PREDICTIONS ON MATTERS OF THE HEART This is perhaps the most popular reason why people seek a psychic reading - to get a reading done about their love life. Unbelievable but true, a psychic reading can show your true love. Because psychics are very gifted, they can see into the future, and even identify what lies ahead in relation to your love life. A psychic reading is a good source of advice for matters of the heart. It can even clear out any doubts you have in your current relationship; like knowing if your partner is faithful and honest.

GOOD CAREER ADVICE Because a psychic can easily identify your hidden potential as well as see the future, a psychic is able to give you career advice. A psychic reading can foretell what is to come in your career -- if there are any triumphant moments that you must work for, or downfalls that you must prepare for.

GUIDE TO BETTER FAMILY LIFE Through a psychic reading, you can get a better understanding of past and current family issues, and you can prepare for what is to happen in the future. As they say, if you have a better understanding of the past and the present, you will know what to do in the future.

HEALTH AND WELLNESS CHECK Health and wellness are two very important things. Knowing what is to come helps, especially when matters regarding health is concerned. Psychics may not be doctors, but then, they can see what is to come. If ever your psychic reading foretells dark clouds ahead, your psychic can help you with ways to keep the sun shining.

There might be many reasons why people seek a psychic reading. But then, no matter how many reasons there may be, it all boils down to one thing - a psychic reading is sought to get better guidance in life.

A Psychic Medium - The Advantages Of Seeking One

By Tana Hoy

When we talk about the ways of the psychic realm, people have always been amazed by it ways. Indeed, any person with a psychic ability is quite extraordinary, especially if a person is a psychic medium. Many psychics possess the power to find lost items, communicate via the mind, see the unseen, and much more. But then, they say that a psychic medium is far too special compared to any plain psychic.

People are astoundingly drawn to the ways of the psychics, though most people cannot exactly explain the reason behind their faith in such phenomenon. For example, psychic readings. It is a known fact that most people trust psychic readings for guidance and more direction. Then, you might wonder, what about a psychic medium? Why do people seek one?

A psychic medium is defined as a person whose extrasensory perception or ESP, is stronger compared to others. Because of their stronger degree of ESP, they can see, hear, and feel, what others cannot. Simply put, a psychic medium has both abilities of a psychic and a medium. So it follows that a psychic medium can not only see, hear, and feel, the unseen; they can even communicate with these unseen entities, and bridge the communication gap between the living and those on the other side!

Quite specifically, a psychic medium has the ability to communicate with the spirits in the afterlife, spirit guides, and even guardian angels. A psychic medium is also capable of giving a psychic reading because their clairvoyant ability allows them to see the future. There are two main reasons why people turn to a psychic medium. First, to communicate with those who have passed away, and second, to seek guidance from these spirits, spirit guides, and guardian angels, for future endeavors.

A psychic medium is a gifted individual, gifted enough to bridge the gap between the afterlife and the world of the living. People usually see a psychic medium when they have intentions to contact or communicate loved ones who have passed away. There might be some people bothered about someone's passing, and at times, the only way to know if the spirit has moved on or is at peace, is to communicate with the said spirit. In some cases, assistance of a psychic medium is also sought to answer the cries for justice of victims of a crime, or a haunting spirit with unfinished business.

Mental mediumship is a mental phenomena demonstrated by a psychic medium. They are clairvoyant (they can physically see the spirits of those who have passed away), clairaudient (a psychic medium can hear spirits because of their extraordinary ability to hear regardless of boundaries), clairsentient (being able to feel the last emotions of the spirit prior their last breath), clairalient (being able to smell the scent), and clairgustant (they can identify a taste impression of the spirit).

The second reason why people seek a psychic medium is to get guidance. Many people are unaware that psychic medium readings can give better advice compared to that of a regular psychic reading. Also, it is a misconception to think that a psychic reading and a psychic medium reading are one and the same. There is a big difference between the two methods. In a psychic medium reading, aside from getting interpretations about the past and present, and knowing the future, you can even seek the counsel of your loved ones who have passed away; in fact, you can even ask for their advice through the medium on upcoming decisions in your life. While on the other hand, a regular psychic reading will still give you the same thing except the part where you can communicate with your loved ones from the after life.

Of course, these two reasons are not the only purpose why people go to a psychic medium. Generally speaking, a psychic medium is a special individual with rare extraordinary psychic gifts. It is true that you can seek a psychic for guidance. But if you want a way to see the unseen, hear the unheard, and feel what other cannot; a psychic medium is the best way to experience this.

Asian New Year Symbol of the Dragon

By John Chan

We will hereby see the characteristics of the Chinese symbol that make them honorable and their association with the important occasion of Chinese New Year.

Two things that have immense significance in Chinese culture are the images of the dragon and the event of the Chinese New Year. These things have been part of Chinese culture for thousands of years and continue to have their presence up till today. Furthermore the two things have a deep interconnection between them.

The dragon has become a symbol which is immediately linked to the Chinese culture. The west has come to know of this dragon symbol from martial art flicksand art work from China. For the Chinese people, this symbol of dragon is a highly honorable mythological animal that is respected for its rarity, magnificence and spiritual powers.

With due respect to the Chinese custom, firstly we must recognize the fact that the Chinese New Year does not match with the Western celebrations of the New Year. The cause behind this is that the western world follows the Gregorian solar calendar and the Chinese have always followed the lunar calendar. Thereby, the cycle of the moon decides the date on which Chinese New Year event is celebrated and this is completely on a different day from the Western New Year.

The New Year event is a spectacular time to be in China. People are high on festivity and enjoyment. As the ancient Chinese culture goes, these people link animal symbols with the change of time and year. There are twelve animal signs in total which keep repeating after every twelfth year. So the sign of dragon comes into full force and fresh spirituality after the end of every twelfth year.

The dragon sign is considered to be a symbolism of immense power. Moreover, the image of a dragon is mostly considered as a symbol of mystical power and anger. The anger of a dragon is always mysteriously justified and hence it signifies the correction of any mistake. So in this case, the angry dragon image is not evil but it plays a role of inspiration.

The Chinese say that the streets overpower you. If you are out on the streets and you see an evil you, it is up to you whether you have the might to stop it. If you can't, then effort has to be made to stop it with your tongue. If that too fails, at least in your heart you should know that the act is evil and there is a low-lying faith in you.

The raging image of a dragon actually wants to keep the evil away It actually represents the suppression of wrong doers and aspires people to follow a right path of honesty and truthful livelihood. It encourages in doing good and avoiding evil. The Chinese New Year symbol of the Dragon seeks in bringing about a change through peaceful ways and through festive means.
