Life Purpose – your soul’s mission

I believe that we were all sent here for a reason and that we all have significance in the world. I genuinely feel that we are all blessed with unique gifts. The expression of our gifts contributes to a cause greater than ourselves.
However, a life purpose isn’t just about a career.  People seem to assume that we’re either genetically or divinely encoded with some sort of built-in purpose, and all we need to do is take the time to discover it through private introspection. You just sit down one day and write a mission statement and trust that what comes out of you will be the guiding force for the rest of your life. Perhaps every 6-12 months you update it.

In the work I do as a Psychic Medium, there has been numerous individuals coming in and out of my office door.   Some I have discovered had tons of questions about their life purpose.  It’s one of the most difficult reads there is since the discovery of a life purpose is the journey of growth and learning.  This can’t just be told, it needs to be experienced in order for the growth to take seed. Most do not understand this at all.

Here’s a story about Bruce Lee.  A master martial artist asked Bruce to teach him everything Bruce knew about martial arts. Bruce held up two cups, both filled with liquid. “The first cup,” said Bruce, “represents all of your knowledge about martial arts. The second cup represents all of my knowledge about martial arts. If you want to fill your cup with my knowledge, you must first empty your cup of your knowledge.”

If you want to discover your true purpose in life, you must first empty your mind of all the false purposes you’ve been taught (including the idea that you may have no purpose at all).
This sounds easy, but it’s actually quite difficult.  Remember, it’s easier said than done.

Empty Your Cup.
__________________________
Are You Living Your Dreams?
If the answer is no, then ask yourself “why not”? Life is short, and you never know when it will come to an end. Do you really want to say that you lived a life of unfulfilled dreams?

Is Finding Your Life Purpose Preventing You From Living It?
Think about this for a moment.  This concept of a life-mission, is no more or less than the one thing that you are doing in this now moment, every moment, that brings you unprecedented and timeless joy.

You Will Not Be Truly Satisfied Until You Do This…
To be satisfied and fulfilled you must do something you love to do. But it is not always easy to do that. You will find yourself drifted away from doing what you love and do other things to just make a living. You may be successful but not satisfied and your soul may be looking for something bigger to pursue.  This is what I call feeding your soul.  There are many people who find themselves placing themselves on the back burner.  They get lost in the lives of others, hence moving away from their own life.

__________________________

To make a long story short, most people find themselves unhappy because their life chapters are shifting.  It’s that simple, let’s not complicate things.  Be sure to journal, it forces us to focus and allows our truth to be told.  There is a need to see the reasons of unhappiness and slowly make the changes, which can be very complicated, to ease into the next chapter of your life.
We all have intuition that we can access.  Numerous times a client will have their questions validated to what they already knew.

Life After Death?

I’ve been emailed, twittered and so on about what I think of Stephen Hawking’s claims about the afterlife. First, I had to look up who the hell is Stephan Hawkins and secondly, “I don’t care what Stephen Hawking thinks about the afterlife, he’s not God!”

Stephen Hawking Yahoo News Story

Stephen Hawking ABC News Story

I have enough self confidence within myself and abilities to not care or blink an eye of what another person, let alone Mr. Hawking’s says or thinks of what I believe in.
I do feel some of what Stephen has said in interviews were taken out of context. I respect his point of view, but I don’t have to agree with it.
I continue on with my work as a Psychic and Medium.

Whether anyone agrees with his thoughts on the afterlife, I have to agree with his statement that life is short and we must make the best of it.

Happily Ever After? The Royal Wedding

Were you one of the 2 billion people who were up late/early to watch the Royal Wedding between Kate Middleton and Prince William?  I cheated by recording it and watching it first thing I woke up!  Amazing it was and I enjoyed every minute of it.

There have been some who continue to bash the wedding, or can’t see why people are so fascinated by these two.  You only wish you were that well known and loved!  This is a dream for anyone, a common girl meets her prince and they live happily ever after…or do they?

So what are the predictions for the Royal family?  Keep reading and find out!

Prince Charles will become King of England in a huge ceremony in the next few years.  I feel strongly that this will occur within the next 6 years, by 2018.
He won’t be on the throne for very long, the newly crowned King George VII, in honor of his Grandfather, will not hold this title in life for long.
One of his sons will take over.

There I go rambling on with what I see, back to the present and the Royal wedding of Prince William.  I feel this is a marriage built on a foundation of love and not for show or pressure.  This relationship will last and be a changing day for the monarch.  If you were on my Facebook Fan Page you could have followed my thoughts while watching this event take place.

A child will be born within two years of their marriage.  You will see a lot of pressure from the media and public for a child to be born.  There will be tons of speculation of pregnancy as well, but will not be true in the beginning.  A child within two years.  More than one child will come of this union, including a female child.  Just like Princess Diana, Kate will be a hands on mother, while William will take the lead of a hands on loving father.  One of the children will have a mind of its own and will be the talk of the media.

We won’t see Prince Harry marry for a long while, in fact, I can’t see him marrying at all.  He definitely needs to be careful and not push himself too much with his career.  He tends to push the limits of safety, while trying to live a life of normalcy…but goes far beyond this safety net.

I was asked by a well known media source for an interview about what Princess Diana would have thought about this wedding.  The problem was they wanted me to say that Princess Diana is speaking directly to me, through me.  Which would not be the case, I can not tell a lie.  Could this happen if I were sitting or chatting directly with family, friends or acquaintances?  Sure it could if she were to ‘present herself’ to me I could pass on messages.  But why would media shy Princess Diana just wander on up to me and begin shedding her soul, don’t be foolish!  However, I can profile anyone, which means I can get into the thoughts/minds of anyone.  I can assure you that Prince Williams mother is very proud of her son and his choice of a bride.  She is proud of how he has become his own person and remained true to himself and his beliefs.

What are your thoughts on the Royal family?  Leave your comments below!

What are you attracting!

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.

Can Lindsay Lohan Play Victoria Gotti?

So there is a ‘rumor’ that Lindsay Lohan may play the younger version of Victoria Gotti.  Can Lindsay Lohan Play Victoria Gotti?
What a stupid question, Lindsay Lohan ‘s association with crime isn’t quite over yet, who best to play this role.  From what I hear, the troubled star is in “final talks” to play Victoria Gotti in Gotti: Three Generations = brilliance.  I love it!  Of course Lohan will get the part, doesn’t take a psychic to ‘figure’ that one out.  Gotti is a close friend of the Lohan family and what Gotti wants, Gotti gets.  Hahaa, I always wanted to say that!

I’m a reality TV junkie, so I use to watch Growing up Gotti on A&E.  It opens up a world that we are curious about.  Victoria Gotti is actually an emotional woman who wants what everyone else does, success, peace and happiness.  She has a tough outer exterior that I call the presentation, it is what she tries to use to protect herself from others.  She has walls built up around her, this is like the moat around a castle.  When you unzip her and expose the inner soul of Victoria, she is warm and sticky….a true purring cat who wouldn’t hurt a fly unless you messed with her kittens.  It feels like she is also on and off with a relationship.  I would tell her to drop the jerk and move on, but that’s for another blog post.

Lindsay Lohan is trying to find her spot in the world, growing up in the spotlight where all her mistakes are amplified.  She has an addictive personality which means she deals with her emotions in an addictive way. Some people use drugs, alcohol, food or money to cover the unpleasant emotions.  I feel Lohan has used pretty much all of the above and then some. Lindsay hasn’t fully grown up yet, who really does?  But she is needing to learn how to deal with what is handed to her in life without shutting down. She is not the most patience person I ever saw and she gets bored easily, not a great combination.  This is all fine and she probably knows all this but what does she do with it.  If you already know what your down faults are then learn to control them.  Listen to that ‘gut’ instinct or intuition and follow through with them.

The bottom line is the role will be great for Lindsay’s career but it won’t stop her from destructive behaviors.  It isn’t time yet, meaning she hasn’t ‘learned’. She will be watched like a hawk by media and stories of her behavior during the filming of this role will be played out in the public eye….most won’t be true.  We will see Lohan eventually screw up big time after this role landing her in jail for a stint but life for her after this stint will begin to smooth out.

Teen Mom 2 = Reality…HUH?!

My name is Barb Powell and I’m a reality TV junkie and yes I admit, I watch Teen Mom 2!!  What’s not to like about it….it’s sweet, salty and sometimes leaves a bitter after taste, but always makes you want more.

I’ve heard all the comments and opinions on such pregnancy shows.  Just recently Kim Kardashian blogged, “It seems that shows like ‘Teen Mom‘ are all of a sudden making teen pregnancy seem cool in the eyes of young girls. The kids from these shows are all over the news, even on the covers of magazines, and have been become almost like celebrities, but girls, these are not people you should idolize!”
Seriously?  Even my 12 year old knows that teen pregnancy isn’t ‘cool’ due in part to watching this show.  It’s something I use to teach, kinda like showing your teen a book on venereal diseases and saying having sex can cause this!! It helps open the subject to show how difficult a teen pregnancy can be.

Well this now brings me to the train wreck called Jenelle Evans & mom Barbara Evans!  Barbara keeps asking what she’s ever done to deserve such a daughter as Jenelle Evans.  Jenelle has been known to steal her mother’s credit card and spend it on a trip with her boyfriend, smoking pot while pregnant, leaving her son with her mother to go out partying, shoving her mother and beating up a so called friend!
Despite Jenelle’s protestations, she did lose custody of her son to her mother Barbara Evans (57).  On June 10, 2010 Jenelle signed over “primary legal custody and primary physical custody” to Barbara.  Now we turn to Jenelle’s mom Barbara who has called her daughter unlovable, has troubling  finding three things that are positive about her daughter.  On the MTV show, Barbara is shown constantly screaming  at Jenelle and trying to gain control of situations.

I think they’re both bat crap crazy, but I would tell Barbara that the apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree!  I’m not excusing Jenelle’s behavior but for the love of all that’s holy, stop screaming at your child…especially in front of your grandchild.  She already knows right from wrong, you don’t have to drive it down her throat.  Listen to her, really hear her….don’t defend your actions or try to be right.  Raising a child isn’t a competition and if it was, you’d surely receive an F for fail!

Jenelle, grow up we all know how your mom is but that as well isn’t an excuse. There is only one person that you can count on in your life and that is you! Ignore your mom when she yells.  Don’t throw wood on the fire such as trying to defend yourself or reason with her.  It won’t work when a person is already in a heightened state of anger.  The fire will only burn brighter.

Predictions: Barbara’s health isn’t that great.  I would be surprised if she didn’t have issues with blood pressure and anxiety.  I see a trip to the hospital in her future.  She will find that her children keep coming back to her and be used and abused.  Stop the cycle!
Jenelle will continue to draw controversy.  Both of these people have good energy and tons of potential but they need to pay attention to themselves instead of each other.  Jenelle will drop out of school if she hasn’t already with the idea of going back later when things ‘calm’ down.

I hope someone out there will offer them family counseling!

“I’m Powerful!” – empathically turning Off

Empathic Ability:
Part 2 –
turning off

So you’re empathic – been called a cry baby, told – don’t wear your heart on your sleeve and stop worrying all the time, geez!
For the most part, empathic people tend to express themselves energetically towards other people, hence not protecting their own energy.  They give away their power, usually without realizing it!

What if you could turn it off and on?  That would mean freedom!!

Step 1 – There is no secret switch, no magic powder that can be swallowed or touched.  In order to change something we need to first acknowledge it.  This means that if you all of a sudden feel a certain way, you must explore it.  Stop the ‘chatter’ in your head, (the chatter of – why, what’s wrong, omg)….to sit back and take a much needed deep, lingering breath and ask yourself, “what am I feeling right now?”  It could be anger, sadness, fear, etc.  It’s important to identify the feeling instead of trying to ignore it.
Stop analyzing, stop trying to figure out where it’s coming from…you’re skipping too many steps!  For now, just feel – do not identify!

Step 2 - Once the ‘feeling’ is identified (sadness, anger, fear, resentment, etc) then sit with it, let the emotions flow.  You may start to see that one emotion turns into another, you may even be able to see in your minds eye who this emotion is actually attached to.  Once you do this say something to the effect, “all that is not mine, leave immediately!”  You have free will, that is your controlled power.
Remember, just because you get an intuitive ‘hit’ doesn’t mean you are suppose to do something with it.  It’s not selfish to think and do for yourself.

Being empathic doesn’t have to mean crippled with emotion.  Look at it as an inside look at a wrapped book.  You can profile anyone, meaning you can get into the head/feelings of anyone if you wish.  Don’t take things personally, when you get your emotions twisted and combined with what the outside ‘feelings’ are, it gets complicated and you will run in circles and receive nothing but a headache.  Don’t take it personally, don’t analyze, or make excuses.  Trust, know and filter.

For Example – try this with a friend;  sit across from someone to practise your empathic skills with them.  You can hold their hands if you wish, but remain relaxed.  Then just FEEL!  Wrap yourself like a blanket with their energy, like you become them.  Say to yourself, I am (_insert name_), what do I feel?  Do I ‘feel’ heavy, sad, depressed, sick, fear, rejection, etc…remember your feeling words!  Be sure to say exactly how you are feeling, include any images you may see.  Do NOT say things like, well this probably isn’t right but, blah, blah!!  That’s being negative and dismissing the information you receive.
You will be amazed at what you can actually do with the skill you already possess!

Be sure to leave your comments for me please.  I read and appreciate everyone of them!  xoxo

Watch for Empathic Abilities Part 3 if you are interested in learning how to deal/interact with someone (adult or child) who is hugely empathic!!

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

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?

Barb Powell in Philadelphia & New Jersey!

I am traveling to Philadelphia and New Jersey from January 12th to January 19th!  I am so excited for this opportunity because I’ll be hosting private readings and a gallery at the same center of such spiritual greats as Debbie Ford, Jack Canfield, John Holland, Marieanne Williamson and even Deepak Chopra!!  I’m sure this place will be jumping with energy, can’t wait!

I’ve never been to New Jersey.  I wonder what nickname Snooki and the Jersey Shore group would give me…what do you all think?  Maybe ParaPowell (Para = Paranormal, Powell = my last name), that’s actually kinda catchy.  I would love to give some psychic readings to the crew of Jersey Shore!  Wouldn’t that make an awesome TV episode, what fun!  Open invitation Jersey Shore!  I would love to profile each of you in a reading.

2011 is beginning to smell like huge opportunity and I welcome every single invitation.  Never assume I would not come to your area.  Most of the travel I do is because someone took the chance to request.  Looking forward to hearing from you all.
