Nearly all of us will read our horoscopes everyday in the newspaper and try to see if anything good will happen in our lives. While some people scorn at zodiac signs and their respective horoscope, there are many who ardently believe in them. Overall, it has been seen that many of characteristics of a zodiac are present in people born under that particular sign. In fact, in many parts of the world, the zodiac signs and characteristics have to match in order for a marriage to take place.

While zodiacs are used to improve wealth, health and professional lives, not many people know that sexuality of a person also depends on the zodiac signs. Sounds strange, doesn’t it? But this is a fact.

Every human being has a zodiac sign and has some features relating to the sign. The zodiac sign is determined using the birth date, birth time, birth place and birth year. These things can also tell about the sexuality of a person.

Aries is known to be intelligent and calm. They tend to be smooth unless they are activated. People born under the Taurus sun sign are said to be passionate and are hot. People born under the Gemini sun sign are said to be flirtatious, but their sexuality depends on their moods. The people born under the sun sign of Cancer are usually cool, but can be hot when evoked. However, they cool down immediately. The Aquarians are similar to the Cancerians, but need to have variations and also quality. People born under the Leo sun sign are so hot that they cannot be handled. The people under the Virgo sun sign are hot, but can get cooled down when they are satisfied. People born under the sun sign of Libra are people who are happy and romantic and have many things which they can find pleasure. Scorpions are like the Capricorns. They make use of every opportunity for love making, but Taurus tops the list in sexuality. Sagittarians are the most humorous people and they do not get into the act fully. They are romantic because as they know what romance is. The people born under the sun sign Pisces are somber and they need a lot of encouragement to get the drive.

Now this should be a clear indication as to how the zodiac signs control and rule a person’s sexuality. Check it out. You will see that it is a fact.

We use our eyes more than we do any of our other physical senses. We usually feel that our active consciousness is more connected with visual sight than with anything else. The sight-centers in the brain are used more than any of the others, and this fact is proven by our own dreams, in which we “see” figures, but very seldom hear any spoken words. Again our memory consists mostly of visual symbols and stimuli. When we think of a person, we call up their image before our minds eye, this being a “memory image.” Now, as these parts of the mind and brain are so active, it is only an extension of this natural faculty of inducing memory-images, which enables us to see objects and figures in our practice of clairvoyance.

We only have to encourage this mental ability a little more than usual to carry it beyond the limitations of the physical senses; whereas, with the other senses, much less used, we might have to do a great deal more of this cultivation or forcing-process, in order to develop the corresponding spiritual abilities. Clairvoyance and similar faculties usually depend on the partial liberation or freeing of the spirit from the body, and the stimulation of the corresponding psychic sense-organs into a higher degree of activity, to permit their use. The following are a few exercises which will be helpful in developing this faculty of clairvoyance.

PSYCHIC DEVELOPMENT EXERCISES
1. Sit in a comfortable chair in a semi-darkened room. Mentally construct (i.e., visualize) before you a tube, open at both ends. One end of this tube fits over your eyes, and the other end extends indefinitely out into space. Imagine that this tube is hollow and that you can see through it perfectly. Turn this tube in the direction of the house of a friend of yours; mentally go into a room and see if you can discover in it anyone present,and if so, who they are and what they look like. Note what you see carefully… including clothing or colors, or anything that stands out for you. You will be able to verify the next day how far your vision is correct. And remember to be playfull with this exercise, the more playful and open minded you are, the less stress will interfere with your progress.

2. Next, Construct the tube as before. At the other end of this tube, which you can imagine to be about one hundred yards long, you must endeavour to see clairvoyantly the face of a friend. Try to distinguish the features of their face, making them clearer and clearer. When you have done this, gradually pull it toward you by an effort of will, until it is only about two or three feet from you. It should then be perfectly clear and every feature distinguishable. When you have succeeded in visualizing this face so clearly that you see it as distinctly as you would as if that individual stood before you in life, your progress as a clairvoyant will have made great advances and you may then begin experiments in influencing this person at a distance, or sending messages back and forth while seeing his face before you, as explained. Use your power of WILL – so that he should do a certain thing, to think of you at a certain time or see your face float before him as he is busy with his daily activities. If you practice this persistently, you will ultimately achieve success, being able to communicate

The word clairvoyance with its associated words ‘clairaudience’ and ‘clairsentience’ comes from the 17th century French words – ‘Clair’ meaning clear and ‘Voyant’ means seeking. Clairvoyance is a sort of ‘Hypnotism’ according to the French.

The ability to perceive information without the use of the five known human senses is known as Clairvoyant. Clairvoyance, Clairaudience, Clairsentience — are all forms of ESP or Psychic Ability to see, hear, and feel an object, circumstance or an event by paranormal means. Hundreds of unexplained events take place all around us everyday and in most cases meaningful explanation about the event comes from an unlikely source … Psychic Reading.

Types of Clairvoyance
There are basically four types of clairvoyance:

1.Psychological Clairvoyance
2.Spatial Clairvoyance
3.Astral Clairvoyance
4.True Spiritual Clairvoyance.

Psychological Clairvoyance
This is a term which we have invented ourselves to cover a certain type of clairvoyance. Most of us are very much familiar with those curious attractions and repulsions which we often feel for many people. There are some people whom we instinctively like or dislike, and for such a feeling, very often, we are unable to provide a valid reason. This is due to the perception of psychological clairvoyance. The psychological clairvoyance may also be termed as ‘psychic counseling’.

Spatial Clairvoyance
This type is also known as clairvoyance in space and time. Psychometry is in itself clairvoyance in time, using an object as a starting point and as a point of reference. Actually, this type can also be exercised without using an object, but concentration upon it helps to keep the clairvoyant faculty working within those limits. As we say, the object can be omitted and many people can exercise this clairvoyance in time without practically having any blank idea of what they are doing. Some people even find that, although they are not aware of possessing any psychic power, yet, when they are touching old furniture or antiques, dim pictures and emotions arises in their mind and automatically they become nostalgic. This dim clairvoyant perception is far more common than is generally realized.

Astral Clairvoyance
The next type of clairvoyance we have called ‘Astral Clairvoyance.’ By this we mean the perception of apparently living beings that have no physical body. The Devas or the ‘shinning ones’, the ‘Lordly Ones’ of Celtic tradition, the Spirits of the elements; all live and have their being in the etheric and astral realms. You may see some of these entities as your clairvoyance begins to unfold, and their activities form a fascinating field of study for the clairvoyant investigator. It is in this field of clairvoyance that you need to exert great care, for you will be making contacts with living beings of many different types, and not all of them will be friendly. This great world of astral is also known as the World of Illusion.

True Spiritual Clairvoyance
We have now come to the last and final type of clairvoyance i.e. the Spiritual Clairvoyance. In the system of thought to which we give our allegiance, virtue, sanity and true spirituality lies within the purview of spiritual clairvoyance. At the end all life, all consciousness, all faculties, come from the Divine, but all work is manifest under immutable natural law.

For a layman who is in search for a psychic at times of crisis can never be in a state of mind to discriminate between a fake and a genuine psychic. On his/her part it will be wise not to disclose any personal information to the clairvoyant. It is best to ask the reader directly about personal relationship, finances, business, etc. If they are able to pick up on the correct situation quickly and impulsively, then it is known that he/she is a genuine psychic reader.

Many of us have heard about Soul Retrieval, which is the return of lost soul fragments (or lost parts) of ourselves. Soul Retrieval is a classical shamanic practice, and in some communities it was the primary method of maintaining health or power. The word soul equates to our life-force, and in shamanic terms we are a composite of ‘souls’, or life-force, and this explains why we can become fragmented. The Shipibo – Conibio Indians of the Upper Amazon Rainforest, for example regard every part of our body as having a soul; arms, hands, organs, glands, bones and so on, and part of their healing practise is to journey to retrieve the soul or life force of a particular part of the body, as a pre-requisite for the healing on the physical level to take place.

In the shamanic worldview, power and maintaining health go hand in hand, if the body is power-full, there is no room for illness or disease which are regarded as an invasive force. Power in the English language has a number of connotations which can make us feel uncomfortable. The meaning of power in the shamanic worldview, equates to power over ourselves, not power over others. The more power we have over ourselves, means that we are truly able to live our lives, without being knocked off centre, without having the need to react when our ‘buttons’ are pushed, we become less needy of other people’s power, and the more power we have over ourselves even makes it difficult to lie or dissemble, simply because we have no need to.

Soul Retrieval is one way to restore and maintain our life force, and power, and this is an act where we receive our own life-force. Another way to maintain our life-force is not to hold on to anybody else. In our lives we take and sometimes hold onto the energy of others. This is known as Soul Theft, which I know for many may be an emotive word and concept, but this is something we all do, it is common, and it should be looked at in a non-judgmental way. In some respects it is the other side of Soul Retrieval.

Soul-theft can be a learned generational behaviour, and often occurs in relationships and within families, it is an unconscious act, and in fact if the person knew what they were doing they may well be very upset.

We steal or take peoples life force in many ways, as these examples illustrate:

• When we are jealous of another persons power or status.
• Someone has a power / energy which another wants
• When another wants a persons identity, “I want to be like him/her!” This also could be when we ‘hero worship’ a person or idolise them.
• A very common way to take another persons power is to judge them.
• When we ‘over’ care for someone causing them to become too dependent on us. Which can result in the person losing their own strength and will to support them.

There are a number of problems that soul-theft causes:

• The person who’s life-force has been taken is diminished in some way
• Relationships can be ‘hung’ on to, causing difficult, ragged, and unsatisfactory completions.
• The person who has taken another’s life-force, can not use it in any way whatsoever, it becomes a burden. To illustrate this, participants on workshops who do the Soul-release exercise, have expressed it in a number of ways, “the taken soul parts felt like I had ‘barnacles on the hull of a ship’, which were holding me back, weighing me down”; another said “it felt like I was covered in clinging seeds, and leaves”.
• Sometimes we may even take on someone else’s ‘shadow’, and find ourselves working with another’s feelings, which may be an uncomfortable experience.

There are many benefits to all parties and to all-that-there-is when we return another persons life-force to them. This act can be most profound and healing, and works on many levels. I get a lot of feedback from people who do this work, and many times I am told of relationships, between partners, parents, children, changing and improving. As a simple analogy, I see this as a ‘tug-of war’, where both parties are pulling on the rope, and when the person who returns the others life-force, which is effectively ‘letting go of the rope’, the other person responds, there is no more rope to pull, or exert pressure on.

Participants on workshops and clients often tell me, that as soon as they did this work, they went home and cleared all the clutter and junk from their home. To me this is a way of making an immediate physical manifestation and grounding of the act of release. They are making space available for new things to come into their life, which is exactly what happens in our own soul bodies, we make more space for our own life-force, more space for our own power.

Even though we may know this, and would like to reflect, and where possible return the other persons life-force, it may however be difficult to recall or remember people’s names or their faces because the act was carried out on an unconscious basis. This is the clear problem.

Working with shamanism, using the tools, methods and techniques can be very supportive to us in this act of releasing. It is because the unconscious memories are difficult to access, that contact with the Spirit people, Spirit animals, and teachers can be helpful. The Spirit teachers and animals, know us perfectly, they know our personal history, our strengths, our qualities, our foibles, the symbols we work with, and they can help us in this.

Don’t Kiss Them Good-bye

“Death is a funny thing. It brings out the best and worst in people. It casts light on the truth and makes life blindingly clear.” Her visions have helped solve crimes; her instincts have helped find missing people; she can predict future events and sense your thoughts. These are some of the extraordinary gifts that define the remarkable Allison DuBois, the real-life medium, wife, and mother whose life is the inspiration for the hit NBC television series Medium.

When she was six years old, Allison’s deceased great-grandfather came to her with a message for her mother: “I am okay, I am still with you. Tell your mom there’s no more pain.” Allison shared his comforting words with her mother and thus began a lifetime of creating connections between loved ones and those they have lost. The purpose of her gifts became clearer when Allison worked as an intern in the homicide bureau of the district attorney’s office and found that she visualized the crime as she handled the evidence. Allison now works as a profiler on criminal investigations.

In this stunning book, Allison shares fascinating stories of her encounters with people who have passed and her adventures as a profiler for various law enforcement organizations. With wit and compassion, Allison shows us what it is like to live with these special gifts and talents and also tells about her struggle to live a normal life as a devoted wife and mother. She shows how learning to accept her own gifts has helped her accept the unique gifts of others and how her compelling desire to relieve the pain of others has helped define her own life, a life committed to the search for ultimate truth.

If you have ever questioned whether there is an afterlife, this book will help you see that there is a living energy beyond death.
