Personal experiences: Part 3– The painting or painted faces filled with rage.
This is a six part story about a paranormal event that occurred in January 1980. As usual, it’s told without any embellishments and according to a document that I had written after the event. As mentioned the presence of the staircase had vanished one morning, and Shawn and I were there messing around, trying to work…

Personal experiences: Part 2 – Is there anyone there? or the little séance
This is a six part story about a paranormal event that occurred in January 1980. As usual, it’s told without any embellishments and according to a document that I had written after the event. After I had told people my experiences and people started to feel something on the stairway, everyone got excited and someone…

Paranormal series: Being adaptable or Swinging like a pendulum.
One thing I have done several times in the course of my lifetime was change what I actually believe in. In fact, like a pendulum, I’ve swung back and forth on several subjects as new or compelling experiences or evidence comes up. Each time I seem to get a bit further, and each time more…

Paranormal series: Science or fiction or just the facts, ma’am.
Back before the net, it was a lot harder to know what was fact and what was fiction. For instance, if you went to a health food shop and they told you that the herb Echinacea helped your immune system, you would accept that as a fact. You really didn’t have many ways to verify…

Paranormal series: Being a skeptic or let me just ignore that fact.
There’s a balance to being Empath who has psychic experiences and yet tries to be remain objective to what is going on. To say that I’ve had more than my share of interesting experiences would not be an exaggeration. To say that many of these could not be explained away somehow would also be correct.…

Flash dreams or is this what being on drugs feels like?
Recently, on Friday 2nd August 2013, I realized I forgot to take the milk back home from the office. As I don’t live far from it, I decided to go get it, and then buy something to eat, as it was Friday night, and I really didn’t feel like cooking. During the course of an…

Guest blog: Soul calls by Heather from Intuitive Blessings.
I get a lot of questions about soul calls. Very many people seem to get them, however there is still so little information about them, including other people’s experiences. So, in order to get more information out there, I’ve asked Heather from http://intuitiveblessings.com/ to share one of her stories. Thank you Heather for taking the…

Paranormal series: Songs I’ve never heard before or name that tune!
Have you ever heard a piece of music, knew it by heart, and yet it was the first time you ever heard it? I know I have, but it always happened in dreams, or the period where I was between sleeping and waking. The problem is, though, unless I somehow record it right away, it…

Should we charge for our services or what is nobody took anything? (part 5)
Asking for payment for a service is easier said than done. Now, I admit, I have a really hard time getting out of the mindset that I should not charge and that it is somehow bad to do so, but really, it’s not if I charge or not, it’s the quality of service that I…

Should we charge for our services or make room for my ego. (part 4)
Now, the original question I posed in the previous entry was: Does accepting money for using our psychic gifts deplete them? I was taught that yes, it certainly does, however after many years of observation, I believe that no, it doesn’t. As mentioned, money is a tool and there is nothing wrong with being paid…

Should we charge for our services or if poop was money, would we pick it up without thinking? (part 3)
There is a school of thought that charging for psychic services causes us to lose them. I’ve heard this repeatedly ever since I was young, however my observations on this do not match this. When it comes down to it, even though it’s claimed that ancient wisdom is full of such sayings they may not…

Should we charge for our services or putting puppies in a box. (part 2)
I started this off as a musing on if we should charge for our services, but found it became a little more personal as I explored options. I offer it here to others who face the same dilemmas and welcome any thoughts and suggestions on this subject. I’ve been on the fence about charging for…

Should we charge for our services or does that devalue them? (part 1)
I started this off as a musing on if we should charge for our services, but found it became a little more personal as I explored options. I offer it here to others who face the same dilemmas and welcome any thoughts and suggestions on this subject. People have strongly suggested that I should start…
