Finding Your Soul.
Chapter 9: What is a Right Desire?
I was ahead of myself last week and (maybe subconsciously) skipped a whole chapter!
So maybe some of you have already made your sankaplas and are rocking and rolling. Great! But this chapter is important in that it discusses the different desires that can shape your sankalpa.
Consider this question by Rod Stryker: " What specifically, if you could achieve in the next six to eighteen months, would enrich your whole life and, in the process, contribute to fulfilling the meaning and purpose of your life?"
Many of us would fall into formulating a sankalpa in the Artha desire. Although this may be true, our intellect knows what we want, but maybe doesn't necessarily know what our soul needs. So although we may need health and finances (Artha) to go on a trip or take another yoga training, it may not be exactly what the soul needs at the present moment.
Those desires we think we need are called preya in sanskrit. Typically these needs are for pleasant things that we have learned to want. Ultimately, these pleasant things are simply impulsive wants. Desires that are inspired by the soul are called shreya. The more we listen to our soul and fulfill those desires, the less we will need things that are born from our habits and patterns.
So how to discern between our intellect and what our soul wants? We ask the soul. According to the Yoga Vasitha "The self is neither far nor near. it is not inaccessible nor it is in distant places: it is what in oneself appears to be the experience of bliss, and therefore realized in oneself."
"The first step to experiencing your soul is learning to still your mind" Rod Stryker
Where do we find the soul to ask it all these great questions? In our meditation practice. Our meditation practice teaches us to still the mind and connect with that bliss within us–the voice of our soul. The more we practice stillness, the easier it is to hear and recognize we have access at any time.
This practice of quieting and stilling the mind is also found in steps #2 and #3 of formulating your sankalpa in Chapter 10. We make decisions every day, every minute even, so it's not a bad idea to take Rod's advice and take "five to ten minutes a day of meditation–that's all it takes to ensure that you are beginning to meet your need for peace."
Through the practice of meditation and pausing we our inherent state of wisdom and our connection to our soul is strengthened.
How is your meditation practice going? How do you spend time to yourself since you began your journey with the Four Desires process?
Next week we will talk about Vasisthasana, the pose dedicated to the sage Vasistha.

my practice has been strong this year so far. i was lucky enough to have a private consultation with senior parayoga teacher, lauren toolin, and with her guidance, i'm now waking up earlier every day to meditatie first thing in the day. this has *really* helped me. getting in a good sit first thing of the day is a great way to start that day. i used to sit in the afternoon or evening, after i lead an over busy day. AM meditation is now the THING! tamasic sitting? soooo 2011. thanks, chanti!
My meditation is wonderful, WHEN I can practice it. Over the weekend I had a 40 minute, non-stop meditation, and it was wonderful. I was sick over the weekend and that was the only thing I could muster up the strength to do. However, I really need to meditate more now than ever. My ego has decided to take residence up in my head and has a cheering section fueling it! AGHHH! My ego has been a bit bruised, and of course it is gathering its strength to take aim. My soul knows better. So this evening, I will take that 30 minutes I need to meditate, then to proceed with lovingkindess tomorrow. Namaste.
Amy, we are your cheering section for the 30 min, hang in there. I think what Mia, is doing is really the way, wake up a littler earlier, even if it's just 10 min earlier, and start your own cheering section on your cushion!
You are so right! I have been meditating using Rod's meditations. I have had to increase them double time. God is really testing me this week. I've maintained my integrity and strength, but on the inside, I sometiimes cry…Thank you for the cheering section. I will include you all in my next meditation–tonight! Namaste!
I've been noticing that my life is better when I bookend my day with practice. Since adding the Himalayn Institute's evening prayers before bed, my sleep is more restful, less interupted, and it is easier to roll with whatever the day throws at me. Of course there are still struggles and times when I wish I had acted from a higher good, but overall it has created more space, less contraction, more acceptance.
yes, i listen to the AM & PM prayers, too. sometimes i walk around listening to them on my phone mp3 player just to get them in & b/c i now love hearing them. they're nice!
I love the HI prayers too! I remember Sandy saying that the motivate your to start your day from your highest Self, and the allow you to let go of the actions of the day to sleep peacefully!
I find my Ashtanga asana practice a moving meditation and an excellent opportunity to practice stillness of mind. I did vipassana for a while, but now find it is too much to do my 1/1/2 hr asana class and then meditate. I wake up at 5 am as it is! I do love finding some additional time for meditation, so will be joining a meditation group once a week on Tuesday nights. I am looking forward to it!
I reread the sankalpa chapter and really appreciated your advice, Chanti, that was echoed in the book. My first sankalpa was very ambitious and far beyond my control, so I'm going to start smaller this time. I will spend some time meditating on what area of my life requires most attention, I got a sense already but will take my time with it and ensure it continues to resonate.
So glad we're going through this process together! It is such a good complement to an asana and meditation practice where we focus on just being present. Part of being human is having desires and learning how to work with them is tremendously helpful.
Lots of love,
Awesome Paula!!! Let us know how it goes with the new sankalpa!
As I consider Drafting my Sankalpa using the 7 step process outlined in the book I am inspired to rekindle old desires. In my own images and words I am doing the best things that I have ever done, in the best places that I have ever been. The light of my love shines for all to see and share courageously with joy and grace. Already my mind is filled with auspicious thoughts and my heart flows with energy. My Yoga and meditation practice align these forces to shape my destiny as I fulfill my Sankalpas and continue to burn the seeds of my Samskaras. With the assurance of profound respect I honor you Chanti as my teacher, along with the lineage of teachers all the way to the Himalayas.
Aloha Jose
It is so nice to have you share your process. I love that you are filled with auspicious thoughts, and that this process is really working for you. It is an honor for me to teach you always, you are filled with so much passion and courage! This is what the path of sankalpa needs.
Aloha y Abrazos
Your thoughts, Jose, and your response(s), make me want to come to Hawaii and just bask in your warmth–just soak it up to bring it back home to Illinois…but in the meantime, I will "soak up" all I can here at home via my computer, home meditation, and yoga practice–both physical and restorative. Blessings to the both of you!
Oops, I meant to say that your response(s). Chanti, make me want to come to Hawaii! Your warmth, Chanti, radiates through these discussions! Namaste.
[…] […]
I love your repeating days Sue! We should all do that at least once a week!
Here's Mine: Meditate, eat, paint, teach, study, sleep….what a life….I like to add some travel in the mix every now and then.

ANOKA COUNTY, Minn. -- Days after the school shooting in Connecticut, the Anoka County Sheriff's Office says a record number of people applied for gun permits.
Monday, the agency received 36 permit to carry applications. The prior record was 30 applications in a single day.
The increase is part of a year long rise in gun permit applications in Anoka County. Commander Paul Sommer says the Anoka County Sheriff's Office issued 2,498 permits to carry so far in 2012, compared to 1,655 of the same permits in 2011. The increase of more than 800 permits adds up to a more than 50 percent increase.
The Ramsey County Sheriff's Office did not see an increase in permit-to-carry applications since the Connecticut shootings, but is seeing a steady overall increase in 2012.
In 2011, the agency processed 1,420 permits to carry, and this year, it's an estimated 40 percent increase. Spokesman Randy Gustafson says the agency is on par to process and around 2,000 permits to carry.
"The trend we are seeing right now has more to do with the political rhetoric around the event than it does with the event itself," said Andrew Rothman, vice president of the Gun Owners Civil Rights Alliance. "They come in because they fear lawmakers are going to punish law abiding people for the actions of law breakers."
Rothman's organization is now offering free handgun training to any school employee who has permission to carry in a school, and since the Connecticut tragedy, he's already had school employees in his firearms training classes.
"These items in the news are rare, but they remind people we don't know where danger is coming from. I have absolutely no problem believing teachers, like the heroic teachers in Connecticut, would do anything they can to protect my kids, but it breaks my heart that everything they could was so very little," he said.
Heather Martens heads up Protect Minnesota, a group focused on ending gun violence. She says a rise gun permits will not boost public safety.
"We have a right to be safe in our communities, people going and getting gun permits is not going to help that," said Martens. "I think one of the things people should take away from the Connecticut incident, if they were considering a conceal carry permit, is the first victim of that shooting was an accomplished shooter in a setting with a lots of gun, so the idea someone can intervene in a mass shooting or defend themselves effectively, is really a fantasy."
Martens says Protect Minnesota will now lobby state lawmakers to require background checks on all gun purchases. She says background checks are only requires for about 60 percent of gun purchases.
Currently, there are more 112-thousand gun permit holders in the state of Minnesota.
KARE 11 checked to see if this gun permit increase is a statewide trend. The BCA, which tracks gun permits by county, says background checks for gun permits aren't up since Connecticut, but once again, but are up significantly overall in 2012.
From December 14 to December 18, 2012, law enforcement agencies across Minnesota have conducted 2,351 background checks for gun permits. The same time period last year was 1,555 background checks. But, the week before the Connecticut shootings saw the highest amount of background checks this month in 2012, with 3,460 background checks.

Readings With Michelle, LLCMichelleBeltran.com
Hello and welcome!
As an evidential psychic medium, author, controlled remote viewer and intuitive life coach, I am thrilled to use my gift to assist you in seeking the answers to your life questions!
I am a second generation psychic and have extensive formal training in psychic and mediumship modalities. I am able to answer your questions regarding past, present and future. All my clairs are open, however I most often hear (clairaudience), see (clairvoyance) and feel (clairsentience) messages. I earned a bachelor's degree in political science and is near completion of a master's degree in secondary education. Serving a term in the U.S. Air Force, I traveled abroad, living in the Far East and Asia. I have considerable experience in law enforcement, having worked as a probation officer many years and studied criminal law at Golden Gate School of Law in San Francisco, Ca.
As a former professional cyclist and lifelong fitness enthusiast, I find that much of the clairvoyant information I receive is health, nutrition and fitness rooted. I believe deeply that health and nutritional balance is vital to my life journey, shaping my path and successes. I am certain connection and awareness with my physical body has heightened her clairsentience abilities and through this means, I can help you to achieve balance in this area of your life as well.
I look forward to working with you, should you choose.
Very warmly,
Medium Michelle

Kathy Biehl
Professional Aquarian
Empowerment Unlimited
I am a professional astrologer, Tarot master and psychic who helps individuals and business owners make decisions and better understand (and laugh about) themselves, their options and the people in their lives. I read for and about animals, too. I'm also one of the most versatile advisors (and people) you'll ever meet. (That's why I call myself a Professional Aquarian.)
My approach is not fortunetelling. Instead I explore what is happening inside and outside of you now. What kinds of influences, opportunities and challenges are here or coming. What you can and want to do about the concerns you bring. (That's why I call my site Empowerment Unlimited.)
I bring to my readings my diverse life experience as an attorney, a small business owner, a performing artist and a writer. My uncommonly varied life experience means I have a personal understanding of most of the situations, challenges and issues clients bring — whether that's decoding relationship signals, dealing with job or family politics, running a business, wearing out from caregiving, wising up to someone's addiction, grieving a death, feeling stuck or wondering if you were born on the wrong planet.
You can get a good idea of my style by reading my weekly and moon forecasts, listening to my weekly podcasts and watching my astrology videos at my site, EmpowermentUnlimited.net.
Sessions with me are generally entertaining, sometimes reassuring, and always thought-provoking, practical and useful. I am articulate, funny, playful, blunt, perceptive and compassionate. I use big words, but I won't talk above your head.
I do not and will not make decisions for you, though I will recommend dates and times for specific actions, if you ask. (And I do not give legal advice in a reading.) I take the focus off blame and other people and keep the discussion on you, your options and your tools.
My training and credentials: I have studied and practiced astrology and Tarot for more than 25 years. I've pursued astrology since junior high, read the Tarot since high school (when I also had my first, regular published astrology column) and studied formally at the Houston Institute of Astrology and in workshops with leading astrologers across the country. In addition to my own site, I have written about astrology for a variety of regional and national publications, including doing the Weekly Weather and Moon Reports for TheCosmicPath.com for more than three years without missing a single column and monthly horoscopes for and KidScopes for The Conscious Living Guide and its predecessor The Conscious Mom's Guide. I've done canine forecasts for Dogster.com and food trend predictions for My Table magazine. I was Cosmopolitan's resident astrologer at the Austin and Houston stops on the magazine's 1997 Fun Fearless Female college tour, and for a couple of years in the late 90s I was the Oracle Corporation's oracle at its Houston holiday parties.

As a Natural-born Master Psychic my life work is focused on service. I am sensitive to the subtle vibration of the energy field around people, places and things . This sensitivity prompted me to develop and refine my understanding of how we interact and live together on this planet. I read the energy directly and choose not to use any other focus medium.
My specialties include relationship, life work and career path, money matters and business concerns. I help clients to understand the mysteries of their Soul's Destiny and work to clarify past, present and future influences.
The value of any reading lies in the client taking the information they receive and making informed life decisions. We all experience confusion at times – If you are looking for a direct interpretation of the subtle energies that are around you – schedule a reading today.

Katherine Dacanay
Psychic Medium & Healer
Hello There!!
Just like many, I took on the traditional route, I have worked in Corporate Healthcare for over 15 years. As I went through life's traditional route, there was this 'thing' about me that I really did not understand since childhood. In early 2010, I had the biggest 'shakedown' and was given a medical diagnosis that came out of nowhere. I made the tough decision that turned out to be the best thing I have ever done and this was leaving the corporate scene and also knowing that life is too short and too precious.
I had better dreams, and so I thought wrong…
I never had any intentions of becoming a practicing Reiki Master and a Medium; after completing an MBA program and having gone through training as a Personal Chef, I so wanted to own my own restaurant – that's absolutely what I dreamed of doing. But 'my crew upstairs,' continue to surprise me and they are always keeping me on my toes with pleasant surprises.
I love critics and skeptics~ I don't blame you, I once thought the same.
No, I didn't wake up one morning and had an immaculate revelation that made me decide to become a Medium. Through spiritual counseling, I was made aware that I have the natural ability to connect with Spirit – my anxieties and fear was because spirit was trying to communicate with me.
My life has more meaning these days, now that I have put a pulse into what this 'thing' that I now know as Spirit, this 'thing' that I didn't understand about myself for the longest time ~~ now I know.
I am so thrilled and overly excited to be able to share my gifts through the services I provide.
So, what happens in my Sessions –
My sessions are cheery, positive, straight forward, uplifting, loving and supportive, and all this comes with the reassurance that because you are in charge of your life and you have the power to choose.
As an Intuitive Coach, my focus is to help bring you the tools that would guide you through your next steps.
As a Spirit Vessel, my goal is to bring you evidential proof of your loved one's presence in your life.
Please know that if you are booked for an Intuitive Session, your session may lead to a Mediumship Session. All I ask is that you remain open to the messages to get the full experience. As a vessel, I will only bring you what you need to know at that time.
Thank you so much for stopping by ~ I am here to help you, should you feel guided.

A Note From Mary
Allow me to see what you already set into motion, as paths ripple out into the next 6, 9, or 12 months. Use my reading like a roadmap to confirm your course is on the right track, or avoid life's potholes.

Using a "seasonal" spread of my own design, my tarot readings allow me to approximate time while interpreting the meanings found in the cards present during a reading. My goal for every reading is to put my client at ease so that talking to me is like talking with a new "old" friend, one who knows you instantly and can give you thoughtful advice in a truthful, professional and caring manner. Appointments for 30 or 60 minute readings are very welcome. PayPal is accepted.

Every reading she has done for me over the past three years has been accurate, insightful, and honest. Her guidance has helped me not only refocus in the moment, but also made it possible for me to develop a broader vision in my life. Because of Sophia Elise, I now have the man and the career of my dreams. She showed me more than my future; she showed me my path. Without her sight and her talent, I never would have seen situations for what they really were and my current life would not have been possible. I would have continued to doubt all my decisions and never understood why. Her wisdom has helped lead me to a greater self-awareness and given me power over my future. I will continue to recommend her to anyone who believes that those with gifts like hers can help the rest of us make better choices and be better, more realized versions of ourselves. ~Sabrina
Sophia really helped me figure out what was going on and what i needed to do to work it out……she's so wonderful to talk to and so helpful……
Sophia has walked me through a very dark time in my life. I've had many ups and downs over the last year but with her guidance I've been able to move through them equipped with a course of action and a map of the situation. Sophia's predictions and time frames have always been accurate and something I could hold onto to get me through the deep dark valleys of this journey. Sophia doesn't just tell you what is going to happen, she helps you move through it in order to see the glimmer of light on the other side.
Sophia, your intuition are amazing… Things you can sense of me and what happened in my life in the past and present are so spot on. The problems I/We have you nailed it to the smallest details. You're a true psychic and very warm and re-assuring. Now we just wait for the prediction to happen which deep down I have no doubt it'll happen as predicted. Will get back to you on that. Warm Regards V
Jennelle Deanne Evans
Psychic Medium, Life Coach
After a devastating car accident which claimed the life of my brother, I decided to start learning how to use my gift to help others. Over the past few years I have studied and done readings for some of the top psychics and mediums in the world. I am now ready to share my gift with you. Being a medium as well, I can use energies of past loved ones to give messages, healing, and to help you understand that they are always with us. My biggest form of study has been relationships. There are so many types of relationships out there, it's extremely tough to see how they are going to unfold because we are so close to the situation.
What can a reading help me with? I am a psychic medium and life coach. I can tune in and assist you in areas such as; money and finance, careers, relocation, vacations, romance, family issues, life path, and finding peace in knowing your loved ones are safe beyond the "physical plane" Clients will find that I will guide them on a path of "self empowerment" showing them how amazing life can be despite the obstacles we face.
What is a life coach?Sometimes we find ourselves in "ruts;" where we are focusing on issues that we feel we shouldn't, feel taken advantage of, are in the wrong career, living in a cloud of negative energy. I can help guide you towards the path that was intended for you. Sometimes called "destiny coach" I can help you understand "psychic vampires" and those who we should just back away from to relieve the impact of negativity on your life. I also deal with issues such as weight loss, motivation, and past lives.
Medium: All mediums are psychic, not all psychics are mediums. I can pick up on the energy of loved ones who have crossed over. Often during a reading if there is a message they will show me or interrupt me to bring forth that message. Spirits tend to be around us all the time, through me they know they can communicate and can be quite excited. This is an amazing experience that brings peace to those who are grieving, or who need confirmation that their loved ones are safe and happy on the other side.
Soulmates: Past life and karmic connections. We immediately know them, like "love at first sight" often we are pulled toward these people. They can be temporary or permanent fixtures in our lives. Often a soulmate is someone who guides us on our path, allows us to see a part of ourselves we need to see, or loves us unconditionally; allowing us to open up to love more. Players and narcissists can mimic the energy of a soulmate. Often we can't see past our feelings and get emotionally tied into relationships with people I call "energy vampires" If you are in a relationship and you need some enlightenment on a certain person(s) in your life, call or e-mail for a consultation and I can help direct you to pursue your energy in the right place.
Twin Flames: We have only one twinflame. Theoretically they are the other half of our soul. Rarely does meeting your twin flame not come without some sort of barrier or consequence. In a reading, a twin flame connection is eternal. Through lifetimes you will have been with this person. In a reading I can help direct you as to whether this is a twin flame relationship, how to cope and how to heal and or move on. Call or e-mail for a consultation.

Samantha Hall
Psychic Medium
Samantha Hall is an empathic, clairaudient, psychic who connects with her client's guides and angels in order to find guidance and answers that will help them move forward.
This work is her passion!
She has known of her gifts since age 10, but it took her until her 20's to realize exactly what was going on, and find the guidance to help her hone those skills.
Now, Samantha feels every day is a joy because she gets to explore all beings, and with each reading, each forward step her clients take, she knows they are contributing to the higher vibration of this planet.
Samantha is a Reiki Master so she takes a healing approach to her readings.
"I simply connect with the client and their guides and ask the guides to tell me what this person needs to know to move forward in their life path. I get esoteric information, generic information, wonderful WOW! How could you know that? information, all in the same reading."
Samantha is here to help without judgment or telling you what to do with your life. She will be the first to tell you that she does not have all answers or always understand how the universe works.
But she does know;
1. Spirit never gives her wrong information. We just might not understand or know what to do with it at the moment.
2. She LOVES her work!
Samantha feels there is only US as human beings and she is here to help, grow, learn, and heal just like her clients.

Allison Hayes
The Rock Girl
The Rock Girl Enterprises
My name is Allison Hayes, but I'm known as THE ROCK GIRL because I use the Sacred Energy of Stones (crystals) to channel messages from Mother Earth, your Spirit Guides and your Loved Ones on the Other Side in order to get you the answers and guidance you seek. As a professional Psychic, Medium & Past Life Channeler who can work with you right over the telephone, I use my abilities along with the stones to answer your questions about love, relationships, career, past lives and your soul's deepest purpose.
If you're looking for an evidential, detailed, and accurate reading that can support and encourage your personal growth and spiritual transformation, check out my reviews below to see how my other clients have benefited and enjoyed their readings with me. I'd like to share a little more about myself to help you understand what I do and how I do it. I've studied in the US and abroad for over 20 years under Master Teacher's, learning to fine-tune my psychic and healing abilities, which were given to me at birth from the Divine.
I believe that training in one's field is absolutely imperative, as I feel it is my sacred duty and honor to offer you the most professional, accurate, and ethical services possible. I realize that I work a bit differently than many colleagues of mine, in that I utilize the Sacred Energy of Stones (crystals) to channel messages from Mother Earth & Spirit.
I have had the honor of reading for many celebrity clients (please see my website for specifics), a few of whom refer to me as the "Lara Croft" of Psychics because of my no-nonsense delivery of evidential psychic and medium messages. I have a love for Mother Earth and her stones that speak to me. It is my ultimate quest to uncover their hidden messages. My Spirit Guides are very direct and communicative through the stones and I am blessed and humbled to be able to share their extremely detailed messages with my clients.
I have conducted thousands of readings over the years and it always amazes me how the messages from the Guides come through the stones to provide valuable guidance and insight into current & past lives, and promote healing & integration on the Physical, Emotional & Spiritual Planes. For me, this is not a JOB. This is a sacred duty & gift passed down for thousands of years. I honor it as I will honor you, should you choose to seek guidance or healing through me and the stones.
In addition to being a Psychic Medium, I am also a Reiki GrandMaster. I have completed 17 Reiki courses, and with each psychic reading, you also receive a healing and an attunement with the stones and sacred Reiki energy. Some ask why I would ever take Reiki 17 times, and my answer is that I will probably take it and other courses another 17 times. I feel this way because, as I said above, constant training and dedication to my work is imperative. The day will never arrive that I will feel that I know everything there is to know and no more lessons are needed. Every teacher has something new to share, and I shall be an eternal student in this Divine universe!
If you would like to "see" me in action, please visit my website for videos! Mighty Blessings, Allison – The Rock Girl

Ms Sarah Delamere Hurding
Best American Psychics and Healers
On the panel of BEST AMERICAN PSYCHICS ~
Hi there! I am Sarah De La Mer ~ IRELAND'S BEST KNOWN MYSTIC SEER, HEALER, ASTROLOGER & Consciousness Facilitator. I am an experienced seer, writer and healer with mediumistic ability ~ Skilled with animals and humans alike, I am recognised for my high degree of accuracy and strong empathy. As well as a clairsentient, clairaudient and clairvoyant, I am a certified Reiki and Aura Soma practitioner. I use prayer along with various visualisation techniques to shift your energies to a better place. An established TV and Radio personality, my writing is regularly published in many newspapers and magazines (see biog details). My book Starscope is published by Poolbeg, Ireland.
My work was first put to the test in a big way when I agreed to be filmed doing 10 – 15 minute readings for the final 32 kids in the running to be in Simon Cowell's and Louis Walsh's new band SIX. All the readings were filmed in October 2001. Following the readings I suggested that they film me doing a predictions envelope for the final line up. This was filmed at a distance so that the camera could not see exactly what I was writing. The following February this envelope was opened on camera by Louis Walsh just after the dismissal of Nadine Coyle (who was under age at the time and who eventually joined the Girls Aloud line up). ALL the names in the envelope were correct including Nadine's replacement Sarah, whose name I had written last.
This was an especially intuitive moment as there was such a buzz around Nadine, who was indeed the best singer there. Had I listened to the whisperings on the wind about Nadine I would have failed miserably as a psychic. I asked no questions and I was told nothing. The only thing which happened in advance of the readings was that Louis met me in the corridor and sang Nadine's praises. I was not taken in! It was a puzzle to me on the way home in the car because I knew that Louis would pick Nadine, and yet I was sure she should not be in the envelope. It was this very public performance which quickly propelled me into a lot of media work in Ireland, the UK and other parts of Europe. Since then my work has escalated throughout the media and on the internet. I have been recorded regularly in the newspapers, on TV and Radio making numerous predictions, covering sports, politics, world events and celebrity shenaningans. NONE of which have been wrong.
My only psychic horror story was when the Lotto numbers I had been studiously doing for a week came up and I had not bought a ticket! I knew these six particular numbers were going to hit soon. But on the day they did, I was running to meet someone in a cafe and I forgot to get a ticket, missing out on 1 and a half million. And the moral of the story is? I have always had an affinity for picking numbers, sports teams, and horses. At the age of 11 at the school fete I just knew that number five on the spinning wheel was going to come up. And it did, winning my parents a bottle of cheap champagne in the process. When a sports match begins I can always pick out the winning team from the energy of the player's colours as they walk onto the pitch. Horses names jump off the page for placed bets, and I regularly keep my friends the Irish Rugby Team happy with predictions and tips for their coming games.
From the age of nine, I used to wake and see the shimmering outline of a Napoleonic soldier in my room at night, which was half underground. I was not scared as a child seeing this figure in the night. But I told no one about it. It was only when I got to big school and studied local history that this suddenly made sense. I discovered that my family home was built not too far from the ruins of a Napoleonic fort. I guess I knew from an early age there was something a little bit different about me. But it all felt normal enough. I did note that my parents did not match my enthusiasm when I told them I just *knew* I was going to win them that champagne with the number 5. I tended thereafter to keep a bit quiet about my hunches. They were obviously only trying to protect me. My sister was also not too impressed when I repeatedly predicted her next boyfriend before she even had the idea herself! I seem to have inherited my GIFT from my Scorpio grandmother Mary who was highly intuitive in her daily life. She would always know who was on the phone and who was coming unannounced for dinner. The favourite meal would always be ready. Mary never set up shop as a psychic, but my grandpa used to regularly say she should be burned at the stake. Charming!
My father, Mary's son, has incredible gifts of intuition, empathy and 'knowing', as does my aunty Anne, her daughter. Anne is naturally sharp and ahead of the game, but really has no idea she is psychic. And my father, as a Christian medical doctor, published writer, and psychotherapist is understandably cautious about the label 'psychic'. I totally get this, and have spent many years puzzling over the apparent contradiction between my own faith and the fact I am regularly pictured in the newspapers holding a crystal ball! *In the middle of a contradiction is the place to be* I guess
I have done a lot of soul searching on the integration of my calling and my upbringing. I have learned to accept that the spiritual tight rope I walk is part of a divinely designed plan. It helps many people, despite any challenges I might be presented with along the way. I have struggled with my vocation and vision, and the effect it has had on my personal life. But I have come to realise that it is simply meant to be. Yes, I am THE RELUCTANT PSYCHIC! But I have the courage, strength, and belief in my ability to give good advice when I am called to do so because, surprisingly to me, it is what God wants me to do.
Over the years I have helped many clients access their own personal power and step up their spiritual groove. I believe in empowering clients to develop their own intuition and creativity. I have a strong faith in God and in using my spiritual gifts to do HIS work. I work to help and heal people in God's name and by the protection of the Holy Spirit I go straight to the top for your information and answers. There is no point in anything less after all. For only the TRUTH will do! Yes, I can accurately predict the future and get the timings right. Plus, I will only say I know something when I really do. There are always degrees of knowing. But, I have found a way of working with God, my guidance, and the still small voice within, which allows us to tease out the answers to even the most complex situations.
When I know I really KNOW. There are no doubts. And I have never known this to be wrong. In a reading I will help you unstick the areas in which you feel blocked. Together we will come up with a practical plan of action. I am a practical reader who has a powerful vision and the ability to help you ground your dreams and wishes. I tell it like it is and I will never give you false hope. However, I believe in Miracles and Magic DOES HAPPEN. I am also a healer, so you will always experience an energy shift with your reading. Those blocked areas which have been niggling you will start to resolve. The following two to three weeks is usually very telling. And the following two to three months should see you confident and empowered in your process. You will start to get definite confirmations and assurances that you are on track.
Yes, I can tell you what has been going on in your life and what influences you currently need to deal with. But always the most important thing is for YOU to learn to trust and use your inner knowing. There is no point in me telling you too much of what you already know yourself. The goal is to move things up a notch and to launch you onto a path that will enable you to ground your dreams and visions.
I also have a wicked sense of humour, which always helps 😉

Guy Isabel
Spiritual Medium
"Guy Isabel makes tender contact with spirits of those passed. My session was both illuminating and restorative." – Sarah Kernochan, filmmaker and author of blog "At Home With a Ghost."
Invited guest on BlogTalk Radio " Journey Into The Light " with Michael Long every Sunday night at 8HOO PM EST
Guy Isabel is a spiritual medium, which means he gets communications with highly evolved beings of light through a kind of automatic writing called mechanical. By this gift he has been granted with, he communicates regularly with his guardian angel, spiritual guides, the dead, souls being part of his family of souls in order to receive advices in life and messages of love to transmit to those left behind to relieve their pain, help them moving forward in their incarnations or understand their mission of life. It may also happen that in order to understand a current life, it is useful to obtain information about past lives.
Here is his story: Born in a large and modest family Guy Isabel has always had a passion for science, particularly the chemistry of living things, and so he pursued his university studies in science, where he earned a graduate degree in biochemistry. For many years he worked in medical research laboratories and clinical biochemistry laboratories in hospitals.
Despite a strong scientific background, Guy Isabel has always been driven by an intense inner life. In fact, since he was 11 years old, he has been interested in everything related to spirituality. It is also at that age that he read his first book on reincarnation which was entitled " Looking for Bridey Murphy" from Morey Bernstein written in 1956, funny reading for an 11 years old child would you say. That story sparked in him a great desire to learn more on that topic. All those years that led up to today allowed him to explore a beautiful subject called spirituality. Whenever Gisabel saw a book on that subject, he read it.
The most impressive sign that was given to him by the other side occurred during a night, in Fall, when he was unable to sleep. His eyes were wide open looking around in the darkness of his room when he suddenly noticed a tiny orange dot that was just above the foot of his bed which attracted his attention and suddenly saw it coming toward him following a slightly curved trajectory. He noticed that as the dot was getting closer to his face, it took a more distinct shape. At a few inches of his face, the small point was in fact a beautiful dragonfly. The body of the dragonfly was orange and the four wings were blue. It looked like a dragonfly with a crystal body whose colors were radiant. The dragonfly stayed in front of him, with its wings flapping, long enough to make him realize that it could not come from elsewhere than the spiritual world.
At that time he was recording his thoughts and moods in a diary. He remembers, between two thoughts, while his pencil was pressing the page of his notebook, a strange sensation took hold of his hand, that feeling had just wrapped his hand and a force emanated to the point where it started to push his pencil on the paper to generate a sequence of words completely readable. The first contact he had with a spirit during that writing session was with his guardian angel and the messages that were delivered to him were of great beauty and depth. That communication experience with the spiritual world made him realize he was psychic and could have communication with the beings of light and disembodied souls.
Since that day he did not ceased to communicate with these beings of light and disembodied spirits to help those in need.
Jill M. Jackson
Psychic Medium
Best American Psychics
Jill M. Jackson is a renowned Psychic Medium who provides accurate insightful guidance when you need it most. She is clairvoyant (ability to see images, visions, people, or objects), clairaudient (ability to hear voices, music, or sounds), and claircognizant (ability to receive a clear "knowing" from the Spirit realm). Jill is a medium, a clear and open channel, able to connect with the Spirit realm and receive messages. She "hears" specific names or initials for nearly every seeker. This may be a deceased relative, a spirit guide, or even names of people who are currently in your life or will be appearing soon!
"I was born into this present life as a Spiritual Intuitive, Empath, and a Lightworker", Jill recalls. "As a child I was able to see Spirits. I came to realize that this was my gift from the Universe. My dear grandmother passed away when I was 12 years old, and she came to visit me in my room the next evening. She had been ill for quite some time and wanted to share with me how peaceful she was and that she was finally free from pain!" This was just the beginning of the many Spirits who visit Jill from the other side.
Jill says, "I have accepted that my mission for this lifetime is to offer spiritual guidance to many. This is offered through psychic spiritual counseling, Reiki energy healings, as well as writings and teachings. When you listen to Spirit and follow your genuine path, the results are truly amazing!"
It is so important to have an energetic connection with a psychic when you are choosing a reader. I would like to share some of my background with you so you can get to know me better. With a Bachelor's Degree in accounting and money management, as well as a Certified Public Accountant license, I spent years utilizing my intuitive gifts in the corporate and business world. In 2007, Spirit began to nudge me towards my new direction. With this calling, I was forced to re-examine my life and "remember" what my purpose is for this incarnation. I have studied mysticism and spirituality for many years. My training is extensive and diverse, and with each course or study, the connection to Spirit grows! I received my Past Life certification from Mary Elizabeth Raines at The Academy for Professional Hypnosis Training. My amazing Reiki Master Teacher, Joan Darlene, of Hands of Healing Reiki, not only trained and certified me as a Reiki Master; she instilled a greater sense of connection to Spirit. My tarot card training was certified through Wanda Selling, a reader with over 40 years' experience. I am currently studying Chios Energy Healing and will soon become a Certified Animal Communicator. Even with such extensive training, I will always consider myself a lifelong student! We never stop learning and having the opportunity to deepen our connection to Spirit!
I am here during these times to help people remove the fear from their lives. Most modern day dogmatic religions preach fear. I believe with all my heart that our Creator wants us to teach and learn through LOVE, not fear! Be sure to "Like" my Facebook page, Jill M. Jackson, as I share messages from Spirit.
Although I am able to assist you with matters such as romance, money, career, and health, my greatest passion is to gently guide each of you to "remember" your authentic selves, which in turn enables an awakening to your full potential. This brings great changes and excitement in your life!
I have also been involved in missing person cases and unsolved murder investigations. This work is especially gratifying for me. I find great solace among nature and animals, and I consider myself a Mother Earth Sensitive.
Psychic readers have been around for centuries and have helped so many people with their gifts, including Presidents of countries and CEO's! I look forward to helping each and every one of you! Please know that I offer the truth with compassion and understanding and I pride myself with honesty and ethics. I am here to help you in many areas of your life!
Now more than ever, we are entering a new age of enlightenment for many! Through the coming challenges we may face, we will be drawn to like-minded individuals to assist us in our ascension process as we move closer to the New Earth! Each one of us chose to incarnate during these unprecedented times, and we must embrace each day to the fullest.
I am an open conduit for Spirit and I receive valuable information no matter where you live! When you read some of my testimonials listed below, you will notice that the majority of my readings are done for people in other cities, states, and/or countries than where I physically reside. I offer in person readings in the Asheville, North Carolina area, telephone and Skype readings anywhere in the United States, and email and chat readings all over the world.
"I was surprised by Jill's accuracy during my reading. She perfectly described events in my life although we had never met and her analysis of the energy around me proved to be correct well after our time together. I look forward to my next reading with her and give her a solid endorsement." Scott Lopez – Orange County, CA
"Jill is incredible. She is extremely intuitive and spiritually connected. She specifically knew so many things on my private life, challenges, and deceased loved ones that no one could possibly have information of. In previous assistance from her- Jill was able to pick up on a little girl energy that was scratching my daughter at night while she slept. Jill advised that she was an earthbound spirit from the 1800s that never crossed over. She advised us on how to help this 8 year old girl find the light and we followed her instructions. My daughter has had no visits or issues ever since. Jill has brought much peace of mind to me and my family. She is a wonderful reminder that love resonates through each of us even when we may not be in the positions to feel it." Leanna Marino – Inland Empire CA
"Jill is a very accurate, honest and beautiful reader who connects emotionally and spiritually with everything going on!! Her reading made perfect sense to me especially when she mentioned my deceased aunt being around me. She even picked up on her name, Mary. It meant so much to me. She is the real deal, selfless and really gets in touch with what's going on. You really couldn't be in better hands!" Tana – New York City, NY
"Jill, I just want to thank you for the wonderful reading. I'm still blown away by how accurate the reading was. In fact, I couldn't believe that you mentioned by first name an old roommate and an old neighbor. Unbelievable! Also, you picked up on the fact that one of my sisters is going through a divorce and the rocky relationship I had with the other sister. Amazing! When I told my sister about the lilies, she reminded me that grandma's name was Lillian a.k.a. Lil or Lily. I don't know why I didn't think of these things during the reading. LOL! I also want to thank you for putting me at ease about some health and legal issues that you picked up on. I don't believe that I have ever had such an accurate psychic reading before. Thank you so much. I'll be back from time to time." Nancy H. – Florida
"Dear Jill, I am very shocked at how spot on you are. I can only assume that the Spirit and the people on the other side wanted me to know these things and for a good reason. I never expected this much information. I want to thank you again for the positive reading you gave me. When things are tense and stressful, I remember what you told me and it gives me the energy to keep going on." Maureen P. – Palo Alto, CA
"Jill, thank you so very much for the reading! You are quite gifted at this….and it has given me peace to know that everything is going to work out for the better. You are right about my husband being sensitive and very romantic! Your reading really meant a lot to me and gave me some confidence that we are moving in the right directions. I truly believe you are very gifted and was spot on with the reading!!!! Thank you again Jill, you are very special!" Deb F. – Riverdale, Georgia
"Jill is such a gifted and honest soul. The information she told me was incredibly accurate. With minor personal info she picked up on and was able to reveal information about me and people in my life she would never have known other than through an honest and true gift. I am very grateful for the deep insights she shared with me about my circumstances now and in the future." F.M. – Colorado
"I have asked for a reading from Jill during a time in my life when I really needed help to clarify some questions that I had and I was also hoping to get some kind of guidance in those difficult moments I was dealing with. I must say that I was very impressed with Jill's psychic abilities. She is very accurate, very gifted and also very generous of her time. She is amazing! She told me things that only I could know about and she truly helped me clarify my situation. I really got what I was looking for and I'm very happy about this reading. I will not hesitate to recommend her service to everyone who needs help and clarity in their life. Many thanks again Jill for your help! With Love and gratitude." Cherelle Couture – Quebec, Canada
"Jill is an amazing reader, and that combined with her own Intuitiveness allows one to get the answers and direction needed to make wise changes and movement in one's life. I knew I wanted a reading from Jill, but was surprised at some of the information that came up, that I was not even inquiring about. That information is so important to me and my future. After Jill had shared this information with me, I knew that was the whole purpose of my reading that day. I needed to receive that information now! So, I can't say enough good things about Jill and her abilities. I highly recommend her to everyone." Joan Darlene – Valencia, CA
"Hello, I just received a Tarot Reading from Jill. The reading was thorough and covered at least three questions that I had and were answered in a clear and thoughtful manner. The part of the reading where she mentioned what was happening in the present was right on the money and the portion of it that is for the future time will tell. I hope that it is as she says because it is very good news. I am very happy with my reading and satisfied. I hope the same for all of you." Carmen – Queens, New York
"First, let me say thank you for sharing your gifts so lovingly. I know it's meant a lot to me, and all those who asked for guidance. All the information on finances is right on." T.M.T. – New Orleans, Louisiana
"Jill, you have NO idea how accurate that reading is. If I know anyone that wants a reading, I know now who to send them too. I'll bookmark your site. Great reading…very accurate" S. Blair – Northeast Pennsylvania "You couldn't have been any more spot on!!!! You are amazing!! " Carol M. – Milwaukee, Wisconsin
"Hi Jill, You're correct on all fronts, thank you very much for your reading, amazing." James – Perth, Australia
"Very good, Jill! I was going to ask for a reading regarding my health- but you picked it up right away" Kelly – Cincinnati, Ohio
"Hi Jill, Thank you for the reading, you hit it on the nose!" Melissa – Tennessee
"Hi Jill, This was brilliant thanks. It was funny that you mentioned my son having a red bike because a while ago we bought him a Lightning Mcqueen bike (which is red) and just as we took the stabilizers off and he began riding like a true pro enjoying his moments, the tire blew and we have been trying to get him a new one ever since, but the shops never seem to have his size! I think we will take the extra effort to get his bike up and running as you are right he did really enjoy riding it. I will soon ask for another reading through your website." Jaimie – Spain
"Jill Thanks for sharing your gift and give me a reading. It was very accurate. Many blessings" Samuel Glez – Baja, Mexico

Psychic Medium
I first began to have experiences I could not explain using conventional science shortly after my mother died in early 1987. I began to smell flowers in my car in January while driving. From there I kept having experiences such as balls of light floating in my bedroom, static "ants" feeling on the back of my head, cool breezes in enclosed rooms, blinking lights and seeing orbs I call "fuzzy balls" and ectoplasm I call "smoke" which I now know are actual spirit entities.
I next began to actually perceive words, feelings, images from these entities whenever they chose to come to me and make themselves known. They told me that I was "drafted" to serve The Supreme Being or God and that I would later in life "awaken" to a life of service. I should always stay humble and that they would teach me over time what I needed to know about the true meaning of life and my role in The Supreme Being's plan.
I was then led to someone at that time who taught me the basics of spiritualism and validated that what I was perceiving was real. My psychic side simply became another facet of reality to me. Soon, I got used to observing and communicating with spirits. I was a bit surprised by the number of spirits I was coming into contact with, but I soon realized that they knew that I could see and hear them, so they purposefully were in my face so to speak.
I began to do readings for people who were sent to me, but kept a low profile even though I was very confident in the reality of what I was doing. I was a scientist at the time, so I really felt apprehensive about my peers learning about this part of myself.
Then in the summer of 2006, I learned that I had a very advanced stage of cancer. I did have a choice to pass into spirit, but I knew I had to survive to help others. I trusted my fate to The Supreme Being and was assured that I would survive despite hearing dire news. Once I made this commitment, I made a very quick recovery and was completely free of cancer. I also was fortunate to have been led to an excellent oncologist!
I am now ready to share my gift with a broader audience and to embrace this commitment to The Supreme Being. I fully recognize the importance of this work. I always meditate with The Supreme Being and my guides to ensure that I am doing the right thing.

Wheelchair Mobility Assessment of Individuals With Spinal Cord Injury
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
The specific aims of this study are: 1) to assess the test-retest reliability of a modification of an existing wheelchair propulsion assessment and 2) validate the modification against traditional measures of physical strength, power, and endurance in a group of persons with spinal cord injury (SCI).
Spinal Cord Injury
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Observational Model: Cohort
Time Perspective: Prospective
|Official Title:
|Wheelchair Propulsion Function and Physical Capacity in Persons With Spinal Cord Injury
- Ability Score [ Time Frame: within a 14 day period ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]The ability score is the sum of the number of items successfully completed in the wheelchair propulsion assessment. There are 8 items in the assessement, which will be completed in the following order: 1) Figure of 8 Shape, 2) Doorstep Crossing, 3) Platform Ascent, 4) 15 meter sprint, 5) Ramp Ascent (5% grade), 6) Ramp Ascent (8% grade), 7) 150 meter propulsion, and 8) Timed Level Transfer.
- Muscular strength [ Time Frame: 1 day ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Upper extremity dynamic strength testing will be performed on a Helms equalizer 1000 multi-station exerciser using the following maneuvers: overhead press, horizontal row, vertical butterfly, biceps curl, latissimus pull down (either to the chest or neck), and dips. The 1-repetition maximum (1-RM) will be calculated using the Mayhew regression equation.
- Anaerobic power [ Time Frame: 1 day ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Participants will propel a table-mounted Monark 894e ergometer for 30 seconds at maximal speed against constant force. The constant resistance for each subject will be set at 1.5% and 3.5% of their body mass, for tetraplegia and paraplegia respectively. Data for three variables will be obtained: a) peak power, defined as the highest average mechanical power measured during any 5-second period, b) mean power, the average power sustained during the 30-second test period, and c) rate of fatigue, defined as the degree of power drop-off during the test.
- Cardiovascular endurance [ Time Frame: 1 day ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Endurance will be measured using a calibrated upper arm ergometer. An initial exercise workload of 0 Watts at 60 revolutions per minute (RPM) for three minutes will be followed by three minute stages increasing in 20 Watt increments. Responses to exercise will be continuously monitored via open-circuit spirometry and 12-lead electrocardiography. Peak Work will be defined as volitional fatigue, inability to maintain targeted workload, or the point at which increasing workload fails to further increase VO2.
|Study Start Date:
|March 2008
|Study Completion Date:
|February 2012
|Primary Completion Date:
|February 2012 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
The ability to independently self-propel and transfer oneself is a crucial component of daily life for individuals with a spinal cord injury. This ability is related in part to an individual's strength, power, and endurance, but it is unknown which of these measures is most important to achieve a high level of wheelchair function. Identification of which physical performance parameters are best related to wheeled mobility performance is essential in developing interventions to improve said performance. Currently, clinic-friendly assessments of a person's wheeled mobility ability do not exist. We have developed a modified, clinic-friendly version of validated wheelchair mobility assessment that can be completed in most clinics. Before it can be implemented by clinicians its reliability must be established. Crossvalidating it against standard measures of physical performance will allow for the identification of the most appropriate exercise interventions to improve independent wheeled mobility.

How music went from noise to sound to melody and harmony.
May 25, 2009, Vol. 14, No. 34 • By JOHN SIMON
The Triumph of Music
How things change! In this new book the Cambridge professor of modern European history calls himself Tim Blanning. In an earlier book of his he refers to--Reform and Revolution in Mainz, 1743-1803--he called himself T. C. W. Blanning. Those were the days when even nonacademic British writers tended to use more impersonal initials rather than Christian names. Nowadays he is not even Timothy, but Tim.
Appropriate enough for a historian of music whose book includes everything from classical to rap. Although I find it somewhat odd to get, ex cathedra, casual references to Beyonce and Madonna, I agree that the academic who invokes them had better be Tim.
This, to be sure, is no ordinary history of music. Rather, it is a history of the triumph of music, how it became the most widespread, popular, and important art--indeed, replacing religion. So chapter one, "Status," examines how the musician has evolved from slave or servant to one of the most affluent and important figures of the modern world. In chapter two, "Purpose," music emerges as "the most romantic art" and achieves in a more secularized society a kind of sacralization. It also goes from the private property of royals and aristocrats to becoming public--belonging to everyone but the tone deaf. The progress of romanticism has, according to Blanning, for main stepping stones, Beethoven, Liszt, Wagner, jazz, pop, and rock.
From this follows, in chapter three, "Places and Spaces: From Palace to Stadium," music's march from churches and palaces to opera houses, concert halls, pubs, cafes and (most democratically) stadiums and arenas. But for such evolution, the means of producing music, the instruments, also had to evolve, and so chapter four is "Technology: From Stradivarius to Stratocaster." That, of course, includes sections on "Recording," "Radio and Television," "The Electrification of Youth Culture" and, finally, in chapter five, "Nation, People, Sex," how music brought together people, helped promulgate the concept of nation by embracing minorities, and contributed to the sexual revolution.
Most of Europe is included, along with every type of music, as we follow the promise of the subtitle which, to his credit, demonstrate the historian's catholicity as bespoken by imposing research. To this, ample footnotes, chronology, and a list of further reading provide plentiful evidence.
The 400 pages are profusely illustrated with pictures of musicians, patrons, palaces, churches, opera houses, musical instruments, as well as scenes from salons and concert halls, studios and stadiums, often during characteristic events. Above all, there is the abundance of entertaining anecdotes and memorable quotations, making for steadily absorbing, often astounding, and sometimes horrific, reading.
As late as the 18th century, we learn, composers, singers, and musicians were treated like servants, lucky if they weren't actually valets or footmen. But change was afoot. So Haydn was first famous for being Count Esterhazy's
The coming of Beethoven meant, among other things, the appearance of fans; Haydn and Mozart only had admirers. If we compare Mozart's obscure burial with Beethoven's grandiose obsequies, we realize how much the status of music has changed. Austria's leading dramatist, Grillparzer, never mentioned God in his eulogy; music was the deity and Beethoven its high priest.
Along comes the rising popularity of the virtuoso. The myths about Paganini (selling his soul to the Devil, etc.) may have been absurd, but the swooning about his showmanship was real enough. More spectacular yet was the career of Franz Liszt, who could put even the czar of Russia in his place and had women falling at his feet like autumn leaves.
Wagner, whose painted and sculpted portraits ran into thousands, had the crowned heads come to him; by the time of his death, books and articles about him reached five figures. Finally, instead of politicians seeking the support of musicians, musicians themselves entered the world of politics.
