Following a dream

Do you have a dream? If you do are you following it? If you are not - why is this? Is this because you are afraid you may fail... but to fail is to learn... and what is failure anyway... if we set out thinking we will fail... haven't we then succeeded in failing... am I confusing you... :-)

There are many of us who have a dream of some kind. But how many of us actually take the horse by the reins and follow our dreams. I do a large number of psychic readings and frequently tell people that I can see they have a dream but can also see that they are not following it. I tend not to visit any other psychics any more - not because I think I am better, because this would not be so. I have not read my own cards for many years either as i now feel that we all create our own destiny. But being human like the rest of you, I need reassurance from time to time. I have come to a crossroads in my life where I have had to face the truth.

Do I follow my heart and my dreams now... or do I carry on hoping, wishing and praying...voicing what I want... but afraid to jump right in.... I am forever telling people that they have to create the future that they want and here I am on the brink of following my dreams but at the same time dragging my heals.

I know if I want to live my dream there are major changes I need to make in my life and yesterday for the first time in years I read my own cards - very quickly I hasten to add, but I got the message loud and clear.

So today is the first day of the rest of my life living and creating my dream as i see it. Today I placed a Jade Buddha on my cosmic ordering table. Jade is known as the dream stone and green is known to attract financial wealth. Part of my dream is to have financial wealth which is necessary for me to see my dream come to life.

When you visit a website, do you wonder what the people behind the scenes are like. What do they do for leisure - do they get any leisure or are they always there, poised waiting at the end of the telephone waiting for customers and clients to ring. Well this is the personal part of my life. The above video was taken one Sunday morning whilst out walking our dog called Max.

Max is a golden retriever who is a real golden colour. When we went to pick him, he was the only one who was this colour. All the others were the white or straw colour that most of us associate with a Golden Retriever. But I like to be different and so choose Max because he was different to all the others.

He was a bit of hand full as a pup and had a strong mind of his own. He hated water and did not come when called, ran off and didn't come back when out. Now at the age of two and a half he is a really well behaved dog (most of the time) who does not have a nasty bone in his body. And as you can see from this video clip taken on my new toy (mobile phone) he now loves the water and tried very hard to catch the ducks. We take him out most weekends to a local country park. We start the walk with him looking his best, then as soon as we find a muddy puddle, he rolls in it over and over again. Then runs up to us, all pleased with himself only to shake as only dogs can do best showering us with mud spots. Needless to say we wear old clothes to take him for his walks. He then thankfully dives into the pond to wash off the mud before having a final run to dry off before coming home all smelly and very tired.

Psychic Fears

I am generally someone who likes to go to bed at about 10pm. Boring I know but I have always been the same, its like I have an internal clock that tells me it's 10pm. Last night I began to feel tired at about that time as usual, but a film on the TV caught my attention. I am not a big TV person and vary rarely have it on during the day and frequently only have it on in the background at night. However this film called The Dragonfly which featured Kevin Costner who I love to watch anyway was about a man who's wife had died and he felt she was trying to contact him from beyond the grave. Just up my street - or so you would think.

My husband had fallen asleep during the football which was on prior to it and I was quite happy to watch the film but took comfort in him being there with me. During this film, he began hearing voices and having strange things happen around him and found myself getting quite scared by it. Considering I am a medium and frequently get visits from the spirit world I found it strangely unnerving that I was getting so frightened by the events in the film. I put it down to the music that was creating the drama but none the less took comfort in the fact that I was not alone.

I have to say I really enjoyed the film which is unusual for me these days and it had a lovely ending which was not spooky at all, in fact it made you feel ahhhhhhhhhhh... if you know what I mean.

My husband woke up right on cue as the credits were going up. When I told him I was a bit scared by the film he laughed and reminded me that I have contact with people who has passed over on a regular basis which does not phase me one little bit, in fact I feel very blessed to be able to pass on comfort to others in times of grief.

I wondered if any other psychics or mediums get spooked by spooky films too - or is it just me. I still don't like that dark or being alone in the house at night. I have no issues of being alone during the day or having contact with the spirit world so what is my problem? I would be interested to hear from anyone else about their own issues with being a scary cat.

Pendulums as a healing tool or for fun!

Pendulums come in many shapes, sizes and gemstones. The one featured opposite is a Sodalite faceted pendulum on a sterling silver chain and can be purchased at http://www.spiritwalker.info/ under the pendulum section.

Pendulums can be used in various ways. My very first memory of a pendulum was my friends mum placing her wedding ring on a thread and holding it over the pregnant tummy of my sister in law to find out if she was having a girl or a boy. If the ring moved in a circle it was a girl and if the ring moved in a straight line it was to be a boy. I don't actually remember if the ring was right or not, but it started my fascination with pendulums.

When I began working as a spiritual healer I had a clear quartz point with a small piece of watermelon tourmaline set on the top on a 20 inch chain. I wore this as a pendant then took it off to use as a pendulum during healing sessions. I would first scan the aura with this pendulum, watching it repair any imbalances as i would slowly move along the body's edge. I would then run it down the seven major chakra's and allow it to correct any blockages in those area's. Finally I would scan the whole aura looking for any old injuries or issues still being held in the clients aura and watch as the pendulum would move in it's various ways.

So how do you use a pendulum? You first hold the pendulum by it's chain between your thumb and your forefinger and try to clear your mind. Ask your pendulum if it would like to work with you. Your pendulum will move in one or another direction. Once your pendulum begins to move, ask it to first give you a sign for yes and wait for it to respond. You may find that it moves in a circle or back and forth. Once you have your response, continue to ask it for a sign for no and again wait for a response. Don't be despondent if your pendulum does not respond, sometimes it takes a bit of practice. Once you have your signs you can then begin to ask it questions. Be sure that the answers should be either yes or no. Pendulums can be fun to use in this way, but don't base major life decisions on the answers you receive.

To find out where a persons energy field begins and ends (the aura). Have the client lying down on the floor, a bed or a therapy couch and begin about 1 - 2 foot above the head. Hold the pendulum and begin moving slowly down the line of the body. Your pendulum will begin to move in a way that works for you when you reach the clients aura. Move slowly down the line of the body until you have moved past the feet. At the level of the aura ending, the pendulum will stop moving.

Healers use pendulums to repair imbalances in both the aura and the chakra system, hypnotherapists use them to access the clients unconscious mind. Many people use them to ask day to day questions. What ever your reason is for using them, they can also be quite fun.

At Spirit Walker, we stock a range of different styles and all are available in a wide variety of gemstones. If you do not wish to spend a lot of money on a pendulum, you can of course use any object where it's weight will hold a chain in a direct line. Any pendant will do the job, see if you like using one before spending out on a purpose carved one. When choosing a pendulum from either Spirit Walker or another website choose the one you are drawn to. It may be the style that talks to you or the colour of the crystal - but remember the crystal is choosing you and not the other way around.

Sword of Truth with Citrine Crystal

The Sword of Truth is a beautiful crystal with another crystal as a stone insert. This particular one has a Citrine inserted into the handle. When I began Spirit Walker I wanted to be different. I not only wanted to work with the crystals that I loved so much but I wanted to be able to help others on their journey also.

Each morning I light two candles one white to draw those in need towards my site and one green candle to achieve the financial success that I desire. I end my little cosmic ordering ritual by sending absent healing out to everyone that has asked it of me and for all those contained in my healing diary.

I believe that when we pose a question to our guides an angel answers us in ways we may not always expect. Yesterday an angel who shall remain nameless gave me the answer to a question that I had posed that very morning. I had subconsciously asked my guides to give me some kind of proof that I was on the right road and that my little daily rituals were working and that the crystals I have were purchased and sold for a particular reason and not just on a whim of mine.

With the kind permission

"Let me just preface this by saying that as a teenager, I went through some huge trauma that I was ill-equipped to deal with on any level and in my turmoil, I developed some rather unhealthy responses. One of these was panic attacks and agoraphobia. Another was self harm, which at the time was far from being as generally recognized as it is today - in fact it was not heard of even by many mental health practitioners. Over time, I recovered and developed healthier survival skills.

Now here I am, many years later and have been through overwhelming (for me at least) stress in the past few years. And I have found that some of those learned responses failed - or more accurately, I failed to implement them effectively. I have been experiencing panic and some degree of agoraphobia again, which was part of the reason I chose the Turquoise Charm. And it is very difficult for me to admit it, but I have once again found myself facing the demon of self harm. I don't really understand it - I never thought I'd be fighting that again. Somehow, to my mind, it seems like a teenage girl problem, not one a 49 year old woman would be dealing with. Silly to think that or feel that way, I know.

Anyway, one evening, I was surfing the good ol' web and I decided to see if I could find crystals recommended for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, since that is at the core of this. I didn't find much, but I did notice that Citrine was showing up in a lot of lists for depression and phobias, so that had me interested. Reading further, I found mentions of it being used to treat self destruction and self harm. Well, if that doesn't sound like the crystal for me....

And, well, I think you can see where this is going, but just imagine my reaction to seeing a Citrine sitting atop a sword - for me, a perfect symbol to represent overcoming cutting. I am still amazed, but then it is often said that we find what we need or we draw what we need to ourselves when we are open to it.

Now, although I would not post this little story anywhere on the internet myself, if you do find any of it of use, or believe it could help someone else, please know you have my permission to recount this, paraphrase, whatever.... as the experience of a customer who 'shall remain nameless' (lol - or to that effect.)

Thanks for 'listening' :-)"


I thought this was such a wonderful story. Not only did it confirm to me that my crystals were going to the right homes but that people in need were the ones being drawn towards Spirit Walker. It also told me that 'yes' I am on the right track. I also felt that this experience could also help others. If you are reading this now for whatever reason - there is most definitely a reason and you just need to ask yourself why?

Appologies for no posts

So many people start off with good intentions of publishing their thoughts to a blog and I was no different but like many other people, let my posts slip because my life got distracted or redirected to something else of higher importance.

And what could be more important you may be asking yourself. Well I always ask my customers to give me feedback both good and bad. And just like anyone else, I love to be told how lovely my website is and love to be told how good I am... LOL... but on the same note I also take criticism on the nose and if it is constructive will act upon it

One very kind customer who shall remain nameless as it is of no consequence left just one comment - 'Needs Better Pictures' . I thought about this and had to agree that some of my pictures were rubbish but I am no photographer and was struggling with my camera. None the less I set about re-taking the pictures of my stock, anyone who has looked through the website will note that there is a lot of it so re-taking pictures of everything would take some considerable time. To make things worse my camera died on me. Technology is wonderful until it is not working.

I wondered about buying a new camera, but my husband had a good one that was just sitting there doing nothing so I thought that was my optimum option. The only issue was I was having to take a picture about 10 times before I got one that was even close to being acceptable. Not having the book to go with it didn't help either, but eventually I think I began to crack it and now can take half presentable pictures such as the one of the chakra necklace above. This necklace can be found at http://www.spiritwalker.info/acatalog/Chakra_Necklaces_and_Pendants.html

The other side track was all the new stock that I had arrive which also had to be photographed before being described and finally added to the website. If you are a regular visitor to my site then you will notice all the new additions of late, but there are still lots to come.

So all in all this has taken me quite a time and I have only just started chipping away at it, which is why my blog spot was put on the back burner. But there is nothing worse than going to look at a blog spot and it has not been updated so my humble apologies and I will adhere to doing better in the future.
