Hollywood Epidemic or Worldwide Epidemic

Share

On December 10th, 2010 I wrote a blog about Allison Dubois and her devil like appearance on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.  Her hair isn’t red just because of genetics people and that dimple of hers is probably from the stress of trying not to bitch slap everyone that annoys her!  You can read that blog by clicking here and also watch the episode.  Also continue to read the comments section to read a lovely section from a friend of Allison’s.  Feel free to leave a comment of your own.

But before you go to read that…most recently I’ve been quoted in Entertainment Weekly about Camille Grammer being “emotionally unsatisfied”!  Is being emotionally unsatisfied a Hollywood epidemic or a worldwide epidemic!
It’s not just Kat Von D and Camille Grammer who go nuts from losing themselves in relationships, but we’re talking about regular everyday housewives dammit!

People tend to blame being emotionally unsatisfied on other things, including their significant other.  I believe you need to identify your most important emotional needs first, then learn how to express and request.  Never assume another can figure it out or that it’s their job to know what these needs are.

When your mind is frazzled and stressed, and your emotions are taking over your thoughts and affecting your everyday activities, it’s time to take a step back, take a deep breath, and relax.  Of course focusing on your physical health is crucial, but so is treating your mind and spirit to the same attention.  Your happiness goes a long way in protecting your overall well-being.

Emotions are one aspect of a person’s health that often get neglected.  But if your emotional health is suffering, your physical health will too.

Your emotional health is just a term for how you feel — your overall happiness and well-being.  Are you stressed? Unhappy? Unsatisfied? Worried and anxious? Then your emotional health needs some serious attention, or your body will start paying the price and so will your life pathway – it will take a nosedive.

 

Happiness and Well-Being: How It Feels

Being emotionally healthy is a huge plus. People with good emotional health:

  • Believe that there is a good balance to their life between leisure time, activity, and work
  • Feel good about themselves, and don’t suffer from self-esteem issues
  • Believe that there is a purpose to their lives
  • Are able to accept changes better and just go with the flow
  • Enjoy living, and know the value of fun and laughter
  • Have less stress, and are better equipped to deal with stress
  • Have better relationships with others
  • Are contented with their lives

“Many of us, women especially, have the irrational belief that caring for ourselves or putting our own mental and emotional health first is selfish, women are reared to be caregivers and usually put themselves last.” 

So what do we do about it, Camille are you listening?
Make a decision to do something nice for yourself every day and stick to it.

Other rituals might involve:

  • Make time for laziness. You don’t have to be constantly on the go — that’s how you get run down. Spend a little time each day or each week doing something you enjoy that is completely frivolous.
  • Exercise.
  • Spend some time in the sun.
  • Deal with your emotions. Learn how to properly deal with stress, anger, and anxiety instead of keeping them bottled up inside.
  • Be healthy inside. This means avoiding junk food and sticking to a healthy diet. You should also steer clear of smoking, drug use, and too much alcohol.
  • Treat your senses.  Do little things that make you happy and stimulate your senses, like lighting a scented candle, buying some fresh-cut flowers, indulging in a massage, or treating yourself to your favorite food or drink.  This is what I call feeding your soul!
A really good book that I enjoy is called 10 Steps To Take Charge of Your Emotional Life by EVE A. WOOD, M.D.  You can find this book and purchase at Hay House.

Let Your Haters Be Your Motivators

Share

Don’t let your haters hold you back.

We all have had enemies or so-called friends who have stabbed us in the back.  These are called “Haters”.  I too am not immune to haters, drama seekers or the occasional bully!  A wise friend once told me, “Let your haters be your motivators.”  When you come across haters in your life, let that motivate you to press on and do what you’ve set out to do.
No matter what you do or how nice you are to them, it’s always some kind of drama with them.  It can be nothing more than pure jealousy, otherwise, why would the person even bother to do or say anything at all.  You have the confidence they wish they had.  Continue to do all the right things.  Hold your head high and always smile.
When you have haters, it can mean you are doing something right, that they don’t like.  Keep moving on and reach for the stars.  The sky is the limit.  Don’t let anyone hold you back or tell you how you should be.  Make your haters your motivators.

With my line of work, it can be very cut throat.  Yes I know, we are suppose to be spiritual.  Most of us are, we all work differently and have different beliefs because of our own experiences and skills.  I choose to walk the line.  I allow people to be who they are, make the choices they want without judgement or my own emotional twist on things.  The psychic world of business is extremely competitive!
But think of it in this way, we as psychics make our living by having clients.  The more clients, the more success.  The more success, the more your actions and words are twisted by others in the media or by others who are jealous.  If you are in a similar situation of haters or bullies, remember that people do not define who you are, YOU do!  People believe what they want to believe.
If you are one of the people stuck in the middle of drama and not sure what to believe, don’t be forced to choose sides.  There is always two sides no matter how flat you make a pancake.

I started my intuitive business years ago when I made changes in my life and made a vow that I will finally be who I was meant to be.  I will never try to play a part, like an actress in a movie.
I worked hard and with integrity to build my business to where I have become an important name in this business, when you’re good at what you do, it shows.  I have a fan base of over 2400 (not too shabby), and will be on the cover of a magazine & focused article in August 2011!  I have a great ‘team’ of management support, including a power bull dog publicist.  Her work ethic not her looks, hehee.  The moral of this story is, surround yourself well.

Rule #1

Never argue, confront, or struggle with haters.  When you engage the hater, you give them the power to control and manipulate you.

  • Wisdom is too high for a fool.
  • Do not answer fools according to their folly, or you yourself will be just like them.
  • As a dog returns to its vomit, so fools repeat their folly.

Rule #2

No matter what the hater does or says remember and practice The Golden Rule, treat them the way you want to be treated, despite how they treat you or what they say about you.  It can be difficult, especially when what they are saying is not the entire truth.  But take the high road, they will continue to drown in their own negativity and jealousy and people will begin to see them for who they actually are.

  • What goes around comes around, you will reap what you sow.
  • Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
  • As water reflects the face, so one’s life reflects the heart.

Rule #3

Never let haters throw you off your game.  Nothing pleases a hater more than to see you fail.  Focus intently on achieving your goals and being the best you that you can be.  Stay positive and look for the good in every situation. Think good thoughts!  Expect good.

  • You will attract into your life the people, ideas, and circumstances that harmonize with your dominant thoughts.
  • As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.
  • Success is the greatest revenge.

Universal Anthem For Haters

Relationship Secrets – Intuitive Lifestyle Expert

Share

Do you compare yourself and your significant other as two ships passing in the night?  Do you find yourself craving an emotional connection and a more meaningful intimacy with your spouse? I’m sure most of us at some point in our lives can relate having ‘talks’ at 1am in the morning with zero results?  You’re wanting the other person to understand how you are feeling and when they don’t change, we feel unloved, unwanted and rejected….we take it personally.
Of course, how else are we to take it?  Open your mind, stop trying to move mountains and most importantly….don’t just read but absorb and integrate what you are reading into your life!

Be yourself and never change yourself to fit another.  There are times where we change without even recognizing we are.  Our spouse pulls away if we try to hug or kiss them, we then find ourselves not bothering to try.  We don’t do the little things that count such as leaving little notes, or planning something special because we feel it’s not appreciated.  Why should we do this since we don’t get it back.  It’s not a contest!
We stop caring how we look because we don’t receive compliments or the results that we expect.  Aaaah, expectations!  Leave expectations at the door.
In any relationship, it’s a matter of what we can and can’t put up with.  I can put up with my husband having a need for the toilet paper to be placed on the holder with it dispensing over rather than under (can anyone say O.C.D) but I refuse to put up with emotional or physical abuse!  Does it annoy me? Absolutely, but I won’t allow myself to resent it and become bitter over it. Yes I can become bitter, the paper does it’s job regardless of how it is placed on the roll!  Sigh….
Long story short, do what you feel.  Go get that kiss and hug regardless and don’t take it personally.  Plan special outings and events.  Read a couples book together…Kama Sutra anybody?!

Be aware of you!  Be aware of your actions, how you carry yourself, your unspoken words, and body language.  Make a pack with yourself to not take things personally, a lot of the time it doesn’t have anything to do with you! Don’t stop living, push forward and find yourself.  When we are in such a relationship where we feel the other person is rejecting us emotionally or physically we then tend to analyze the whys.  It is NOT your job to figure your spouse out.  That is their job, don’t make it yours.  There is truth to the saying that we teach others how to treat us.  Think about that.
Feed that soul of yours, get out and make changes.  Exercise, get in shape….take a course, do what moves you and makes you feel great about yourself!

Raise your energy.  The energy that we carry around us speaks louder than words or actions.  When we feel tired, worn out and beaten down because we don’t have control over our relationship, it speaks through us via the unseen blanket that covers us called energy.  Haven’t you ever went into a store feeling pretty good and got body checked out of the way by an impatient person in a bad mood and left the store in a bad mood yourself.  (Yep, happened to me too and the other person lived!)  Then you transfered that bad mood energy to your family….energy is a powerful force!  Meditate and visualize yourself in whatever pool of healing waters you want.  Call upon your Spirit Guides and Angels for strength.  Use self talk to calm yourself down, this is not your problem so don’t accept this negative energy.
Raising your energy helps protect you and keep your mood up, which then helps raise self esteem and confidence which then rubs off onto your relationship as well.

You will begin to see and feel results in a few days.  Be sure to keep those communication doors open.
There will be times where you falter and go back to old habits.  But just like falling off a diet, you get back to being healthy and follow the road to success.

Mother’s Day Message ~ Psychic Medium Barb Powell

Share

There’s a story behind everything. How a picture got on a wall. How a scar got on your face.  Sometimes the stories are simple, and sometimes they are hard and heartbreaking. But behind all your stories is always your mother’s story, because hers is where yours begin.

The title of Mother isn’t just a female who has biologically born a live human child…a mother to me means a female who has touched the life of a person, place, thing, or animal.  A female who has placed another’s needs in front of their own. Who has made it their duty to give warmth, compassion, care, and forgiveness.
A mother possesses incredible wisdom And wonderful insight and skill.

Happy Mother’s Day everyone!

What are you attracting!

Share

Psychic LifeStyle Expert
- what would psychic medium Barb Powell do?

Question: Why do I keep attracting abusive relationships?
After getting out of a 22 year relationship with an abusive man, 10 years ago, I have felt as though my life truly began when my marriage ended.
While I have learned and grown so much in the last ten years, I feel this block inside me that prevents me from finding and attaining what I want in life.
I’m holding myself back.  How do I unblock that part of myself that prevents me from finding the type of relationship that is loving, respectful and supportive?
The same type of man keeps showing up in my life and I now realize, it’s me doing the attracting and bringing into my life. Help!
Crystal, age 49

Dear Crystal, you are not alone in this dilemma of attracting negative relationships which leave you drained.  I applaud you in realizing that it is you who is attracting and bringing it into your life, that is the first step for change!  Without realizing it, you are already starting the process of clearing out the old and in with the new.
Barb Powell, Psychic LifeStyle Expert

Like Crystal, do you ever notice that you attract the same types of partners over and over again? Isn’t it perplexing when you end a bad relationship — vowing to never again date a person like that — you seem to end up with a new partner who turns out to have those same qualities?

So, what do you do when you notice you are picking the same kind of partner over and over again? What do you do when you notice you are picking people you have to convince to love you?

First and foremost, understand what you are really doing in relationships. Look at your motivations. Look at the story of your life that you are trying to tell.  Be honest and truthful with what you recognize in yourself.  Be authentic!  Take a good look at your childhood, parents, interactions of friends and the teachers in your life.  What do you tell yourself in your own mind?

Second, start to heal those past wounds by giving to yourself. Didn’t get enough attention as a child? Spend an hour a day in solitude and silence finding out how you feel and who you are. Didn’t get enough toys? Establish a separate savings account and call it “Play Money.” Spend it only on toys, and make sure to spend it all and often. You get the idea. Get your needs met. Remember to make a pledge to yourself first thing in the morning to be aware of you.  Aware of the energy you are receiving and giving off.

Third, learn how to be only with people who are willing to grow. People who are not willing to grow are not bad. But being in an intimate relationship with them will hurt, because relationships are always about growth for both people involved.  Stick to your ‘guns’, stop making excuses for those around you, set your boundaries…never deviate from the plan.

And finally, choose people who want to be with you beyond the three-month crush.

Be conscious and choose wisely. It’s your life. Make it full of love.

“I’m not a cry baby!” – Empathic Intuitive

Share

Empathic Ability:  Part One — What is an Empath?

An Empath is a person who can tune in to the emotional experience of a person, place or animal.  In the paranormal and in some works of science fiction and fantasy, highly developed empathy is a psychic ability to sense the emotions of others and often highly aware of the health and state of mind of their loved ones, no matter how physically near or far away the individuals may be.

It can be challenging for an Empath to function healthily in society if they are unaware that they have this sensitivity and often opt to be alone.

Empaths are born being just that.  They’re born unskilled and are generally very understanding of others and their positions, and often times will ask questions rather than make snap judgments, or intuitively seem to ‘know’ there is more to a story than what meets the eye.  They are sensitive to TV, videos, movies, news and broadcasts.  Violence or emotional dramas depicting shocking scenes of physical or emotional pain inflicted on adults, children or animals can bring an empath easily to tears.

Empaths are people who don’t “read” the future, or predict it … they “read” and feel people, and their energy although sometimes it depends on the person being read, too.  They’re often problem solvers, thinkers, and studier’s of many things.  They are the psychic sponges of the world, soaking up all the psychic and emotional static that other people give off.  Being an Empath is one of the most common and most challenging of all the psychic gifts.

  • Want to know how to parent an empath?
  • Are you an empath that wants to plug in, switch on and off?

Jennifer Aniston and John Travolta are Empaths.  This is why they have the ability to truly convey emotions on screen.  Be it that of anger or sympathy.  John Travolta is a feeler, he takes on other people’s stuff?  A sucker for a sob story.  He has a busy mind, he thinks and thinks which brings up doubt and other issues and feels bad when he can’t help everyone.

What makes Jen Aniston an Empathetic person?
Jennifer Aniston is like a life coach for everyone, she keeps going from one relationship to another but can’t find the ‘right” one.  She sees and feels the potential in these guys but doesn’t see them for what they really are.  Then she feels badly for her friends/family when they feel bad or their lives are going wrong.  She bends over backwards for others.
—-
Watch for Empathic Ability – Part Two coming soon…if you have questions that you would like more information on of the above topic, please leave them in the comments section!

Do you recognize yourself in the above description?  Are you an Empath? Please share your personal story here for others to learn and grow from.

Who do you think are Empathic in the celebrity world?

Are you taking care of you??….

Share

This post has been a long time coming and I’ll explain why in a bit.  But I’m sitting here at my desk going through many emotions.  Part of me feels sad, guilty, happy and excited all at the same time.  How can all those feelings be going on?  Well, I believe that there are times in our life where we are stuck.  Stuck in career, relationships, family and friends and we resist the change that it requires us to move forward.  We try too hard perhaps to please, to fix, to analyze.  But wait…can we really please, fix and analyze?  Maybe sometimes, but for how long?…it’s like a never ending game.

In some ways we are all pleasers and fixers.  There are times where we need to reflect and evaluate us.  That’s taking control of our life, our path, energy and our feelings.  I’m one of those people who gets numerous emails/phone calls to tell me how to run my own business, how not to do this and that, to tell me what they think of me…whether good or most likely bad.  Emails of pleasant words to the extreme filled hatred curse filled rants.  I lead a different life than most:  traveling to places I once only dreamed about, walking through woods/bush to search missing people, consulted by police/detectives, sitting across from family members who cry and beg for help, those messages from phone/email that call me selfish (among other words) because I do not do this work for free, booking appointments via my assistant/email, rescheduling due to many reasons, waking up in the middle of the night because of dreams/visions with no one else to turn to that would understand (it’s not uncommon for me to only get 3hrs of sleep)…my many labels given by others are: healer, blessing, money hungry, ugly, beautiful, fraud, funny….So who am I really?  What really matters are those who actually take the time to know me, to experience my work in a non judgemental way.  Who are you?

In David Deida’s book The Way of the Superior Man, he talks about how you must be willing to change everything in your life when necessary. A man must be prepared to give 100% to his purpose, fulfill his karma or dissolve it, and then let go of that specific form of living. He must be capable of not knowing what to do with his life, entering a period of unknowingness and waiting for a vision or a new form of purpose to emerge. These cycles of strong specific action followed by periods of not knowing what the hell is going on are natural for a man who is shedding layers of karma in his relaxation into truth.

All of the above thoughts and feelings in less than 5 minutes!  Extreme?  Perhaps…but it works for me.  I don’t force myself to feel a certain way, I sit in the emotions and do not think.  But sit still and listen.  Like waiting for a shy bird to land nearby to hear it’s song and then it happens.  The almost silent ‘voice’ of spirit begins to speak.  The conversation goes something like this:  (Spirit = S; Me = M)    S: “Is this your problem, or theirs.”  M: “No it’s not my problem, well in some ways I suppose it is, I mean I could change things in my schedule, or….” S: “Have you made changes before?”  M: “Yes I have made changes before, perhaps I’m not making the right changes.”  S: “You are over analyzing.  Can you make more changes.”  M: “There are more changes I could make, but…” S: “Buts are excuses, there is no possible way to please everyone as some will always find the fault, are you willing to play that game?” M: “I don’t want to play the game, the game is not fun.” S: “Then don’t play it and be happy.”

The Choices we Make…

Share

“The price of anything is the amount of life you exchange for it.”
~Henry David Thoreau

Much about being a professional psychic medium is about making choices.  Not just psychic medium choices but real life decisions.

Do I go out on this weekend to work with police and a family for a missing person or do I spend it with my family who I haven’t had real time with for a month!?!

Do I book this client on my day off because they are having a crisis and NEED me and since they are a returning client they believe they should have the time?

Do I take on this business contract/consultation because it means big money, yet it will take up huge amounts of my extra time.

Do I book this radio/tv gig because it means exposure knowing I will have to reschedule more clients which will be pissed off?

The more I get exposure the more my time is taken away.  Don’t get me wrong I’m not complaining…well not that much, maybe a little.  I love what I do.  But I have so many people telling me that they wish they did what I do.  Do you really?  The point is that just one little choice/decision can change a complete outcome of our lives.  Do we cheat on our spouse because we feel neglected or just because we’re getting attention?  Do we take a new job not knowing what the outcome will be?  We become ‘stuck’ when we don’t make any choices or decisions.  If we don’t take a risk, how can life change?  What you see is what you will get.  I’m not saying to cheat on your spouse, but perhaps to take a good look at what you can do, not what you can’t.

I sometimes sit and procrastinate, a lot!  It’s a measure where I’m thinking I’m taking time for myself, yet I don’t even do that.  Before I know it, the day is over and I’m left with…left with what?  Nothing really, except a day lost.   Is the grass always greener on the other side?   Not so much..but don’t we always look at that other side.  It’s the way we look at celebrities and public figures.  WOW star struck thoughts…but we are all tied in some way or another with being human and having ego.  We all have a connection.  We all have issues and problems that we don’t tell anyone else about.  Let’s get plugged back into life and get things moving in the direction we want!  First things are first, make a plan.  I know what I want to do with my family, for myself, for my home, for my children, etc.  We just need to start somewhere…so let’s start.  It’s a new day…let’s get moving…who’s with me?

“Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.”
-Emerson

Why is it so easy for certain people?

Share

Have you ever wondered why life seems so easy for certain people? They can say what they want, do what they want, and everything just works out of them. They have great relationships with their spouses and kids…they leap out of bed in the morning, looking forward to their jobs, can eat whatever they want, and always seem to glow! (I know, I used to hate those people too).

Do you ever ask yourself, “why do they have it so darn easy?” “Why does everything work out for her!” “Why is my life so complicated, and why do I have to be the one to hold everything together?”

Are you certain that your authentic self is in there…somewhere, but you don’t know what it sounds like because you’re so busy listening to everyone else? You take really great care of your family: your kids are happy, busy, and carefree. Your husband has hobbies, guy time, and time to relax after he gets home from work. And YOU have…a job, laundry, dishes…
You feel really resentful, and then you feel guilty for feeling resentful! Here is the good news.

You don’t have to feel that way any more.
There is a way to let go of the guilt, resentment and feelings of selfishness. There is a way to discover your authentic self, and have everything go smoothly for you (you could be one of those people).
If that sounds good, please join me and 11 Authentic Life experts for a free tele-series from November 16 -20.
If you feel this way (and please tell me that I wasn’t alone!), this free event is perfect for you! You will learn:
  • What the authentic self actually is (so you know when you’ve found yours and it isn’t just your ego playing tricks on you).
  • How each expert got over her struggles (trust me, everyone had to hit a cross roads first –and they weren’t pretty) so she could be happy, guilt free and successful.
  • How to actually make the changes necessary. Yes, your family and job are important — but so are you! It’s time to take care of you, and each mentor has a specific expertise so you can grab tips in a variety of life areas!
  • Plus more (there is over 10 hours of audio that is free to listen to for the entire 5 days).
