Back To Blogging

Well, it's been a long time since I've blogged. I was writing and editing my first full-length book, and it's finally complete and published. You can purchase it or read the introduction on my website: http://www.apracticalpsychic.com/book.htm

That took a lot of time and energy, but now that it's done I'm still feeling compelled to write! The spirit people are throwing information at me for my next book on spirit messages already, yet I'm committed to not dropping my blog again. I can do both, right?

I've been spending a lot of time in recent weeks with the Blessed Mother. She started showing up in my meditations, in headlines, on the books that seem to fall off the shelves. I mean to say that I keep thinking about her, and I keep noticing references to her. Most religious traditions have a female energy that balances out the male energy, so if you're not a Christian, just bear with me and every time I mention "Mary" or "The Blessed Mother," just put in Shakti, Lilith, Sacred Feminine, Earth Mother, Buk, or whatever else my represent the divine feminine.

Specifically for me, this is the Blessed Mother. Something has been nagging at me to read about the Marian culture, to seek out paintings, to delve into stories of the various Mary sightings around the world -- Fatima, Lourdes, Medjugorja. As you might have guessed, when I get this kind of persistent nagging, I give in to it. I even started exploring the Rosary, which, despite being raised a Catholic, I had no idea how to recite.

So now, for some reason and for what outcome I'm still at a loss to say, I am saying the Rosary every day. Probably not as it traditionally recited, but I'm still using my training wheels on this one. What I've noticed first of all is that the repetition of a prayer really puts me into a pleasant alpha state of mind. I don't always concentrate on the prayer itself -- I'm so familiar with the Our Father and the Hail Mary that I can recite them without thinking. So I have to bring my conscious mind to the act of reciting it. When I do I am lulled into a beautiful meditate state, and I'm filled with such peace and serenity when I'm done.

I don't know where this is going, as I've said. But it's helping my mental state, my appointment book is more full than it has ever been, I'm giving increasingly accurate spirit communications, and I feel more courage. I need more courage. I'm going to continue to pursue this particular thread to see where it leads me, and I'll keep you all posted.

I'm committed to blogging every Friday -- don't let me off the hook!
