Emotions are things that can impact your life and the situations that are around you. You have to be concerned when you go for a psychic reading no matter what it is about. If you are calling about your relationship or your career, you need to make sure that you are in the right emotional state to get the outcome of the reading that is real.

When you talk to a reader, chances are that they will try to find out what kind of emotional state that you are in before they even begin. When a reader asks you to take a deep breath and relax, you need to do that.

The way that you feel during a reading can influence the energy that the psychic will pick up from you. It can also cause the other tools of divination such as the tarot tools to change what they are focused on.

When you feel that one answer is going to be the right answer then the reader will feel this. This is why sometimes two different readers can get a totally different reading on the same person. Having strong emotions when you are getting a reading can result in a false reading.

If you are someone that is very angry and you call in for a reading, chances are that you will have a blocked energy and you will not be open to the answers that the psychic wants to give you. You will not be able to hear what the spirit world is trying to tell you and instead your emotions will block anything that you are meant to hear.

When you are angry or sad when you call for a reading, you need to realize that your emotions are out of control and get them in control so that you can tear down walls that will help you to get a real reading. It is best to call for a reading when you have your emotions in check so that the reading can be more accurate for you.

Open Mind

Psychics have their own way of doing their readings and sometimes two of the same kind of psychics will do completely different readings. The reader wants to be accurate, but you have to allow this to happen. If there is news that you don’t want to hear about, chances are that the reader will know this. It will be hard to see the big picture when your emotions are out of whack and the reader cannot get past that.

Having a Good Reading

Here are some ways to have a good reading:

• Make sure that you are calling when you are no longer attached to your emotions. If you have something emotional happen to you, wait until you are calm before you call.
• Make sure you are mindful of what you are feeling during the reading.
• Do not hold you breath and learn to breath. Doing this will keep you focused and calm and will help the reader to be able to read your energies.
• Ask questions that are very specific. This will help the psychic to give you true and accurate readings.
• Do not have questions to ask that will prove if your psychic is real or not. If you are skeptical, keep an open mind.
• Be respectful of your reader and give them all of your attention. Do not be interrupted by calls or by the television during your reading.
• Do not get one reading right after the other but space them out. Give your energy time to calm down before you do a second reading.
• Listen to what you are being told after you ask a question. A good reader will give you the best answers that they can and interrupting them can cause the reading to be off.
• Always be open minded. Readers are human and they make mistakes, and their readings are based on the energies that they feel.

Trusting Your Reader

Always have an open mind and an open heart when you are getting a reading. If your emotions are high that day, wait and get a reading after you calm down. A reader will try their best to read your energy but if your energy is high on emotions, it can be hard.

Trust your gut feeling and your reader to give you the best reading that they can give you.

Utilizing spirit animal energy has the potential to awaken powerful qualities that have been dormant in your life as you deeply connect with the natural world to create healing. Spirit animal energy is sometimes also referred to as spirit animal medicine and refers to connecting with a spiritual essence of a specific animal. Individual animals may appear in life to bring us messages or energy of their kind, but it is more about connecting the spiritual and energetic frequency of the animal. When people speak of totem animals or power animals it is referring to the same form of energy. These animals often serve as guides and correspond to our nature and qualities.

There are many times when we have a couple spirit animals that correspond to different levels of the self. Some believe a spirit animal remains with us for life, while others think they change over time as we change as well. Power animals are highly personal and are worked with in the ways in which it feels right. Connecting with the energy of spirit animals can be healing and attune us to a frequency that brings balance to our system. We can tap into what we are lacking and grow.

Choosing a Spirit Animal

There is no right or wrong way to choose a spirit animal, but a few ways are shared below.

• Reference animal energy books
• Use an animal oracle deck
• Work with a professional to help you determine your spirit animal
• Watch for the animals that repeatedly appear in your life
• Ask your spirit animal to reveal itself through the universe

Working with Spirit Animal Energy

After your spirit animal energy has been decided, call on the energy that you want to work with through some of the following exercises.

• Center Yourself – Relax your entire body through deep breaths that inhale good energies and exhale the negativity and thoughts
• Call on the Energy – Ask your spirit animal energy to come into your energy as you relax
• Ask for Help – Ask for help with the issue you are facing
• Stay with the Energy – Sit silently and listen for the guidance that the animal spirit has to offer to you whether it is for an immediate or long-term issue
• Try Meditation – This can be done in the way you are comfortable meditating by looking at a photo of the animal, asking the animal to reveal itself, making notes about what you learn and sitting with the energy, then repeating as needed

Working on the Fly

Pay close attention to the animals that have presented themselves to you. They can bring messages and reminders through your day. While not all animal encounters are spiritual in nature, those that are uncommon typically are in some form. That said, the animals we choose to keep company with daily, like pets, also have meaning. Pet choice says a great deal about a person and what they prioritize and value. These animals can also have messages for us, but when it comes to repeated encounters, wild animals are the most significant. Single encounters have some significance, but repetition is the most meaningful. These are not just animals in nature, but those in ads, on Facebook, or other places as well.

Spirit animals will find a way to share their messages in some way, even if it is not an animal common to an area. When you receive a message, interpret it in the following ways.

• When you feel a particular animal energy, it is time to receive your message
• Read about the animal energy
• Connect with the energy and message
• Follow your intuition
• Think of the vibe of the message and find the personal part for yourself
• Use angel number rules to read animal messages

When your message has been received, express gratitude from the heart and make an offering to the animal. If an offering to the animal is not feasible, make an offering to Mother Earth in some way.

We are all simply souls that are currently having a physical experience which means there is more to life than what we can sense with our five senses. When we work to develop our sixth sense or extrasensory perception, ESP, we can access special gifts others miss. The article is to teach people how to astral project by developing your extrasensory perception. The skills shared are not limited to astral projection, but can also be applied to meditation, dream analysis, manifestation, and more. A little intuition and lots of practice can help anyone access the spiritual realm using astral projection. Pique your curiosity about astral projection by reading on.

Astral Projection Explained

Astral projection is an intentional awareness of the consciousness leaving your body as your soul enters a spiritual plane. When someone astral projects, they can see themselves in physical form as they float above their body. This is not scary because you can re-enter your body whenever you choose. It is important to try astral projection at least once because we live in a material world and it is easy to believe that it is all that exists. There is an intangible spiritual realm that lives alongside our material world and when astral projecting, that spiritual side is where we go.

There are many practical reasons people astral project, but some of the more common ones include:

• To free the soul
• To learn more about existence as a human
• To sharpen intuition
• To see time in a non-linear manner
• To temporarily leave the physical world behind
• To relearn the true value of life

Only try astral projection when the physical body is in a safe space, when you can relax, and be interruption free. As you improve in your astral projection, keep in mind it is about intention. The reasons you connect with the astral plane is always spiritual, so know your reason ahead of time.

Step by Step Guide

Once you have prepared your mind and body for astral projection, follow the steps below to start.

• Affirmations – Begin with a positively phrased intention or affirmation, that is simple like “I will astral project” or “I will enter a higher state of consciousness.”
• Relax – Lie down so that you are in a relaxed position. Focus on your body and breathing as if meditating. Relax all your muscles as you focus on all your body sensations. Close your eyes and allow the mind to enter a sleep-like state as your thoughts drift. Stay as still as possible.
• Higher Vibrational State – Being able to stay in the half-awake and half-asleep state is the key to entering a higher vibrational state to astral project. If you do fall asleep, it is okay and you can try again, but if you can hold the trance state, do so and keep going.
• Visualize – As you reach a higher state, imagine a silver rope attached to your physical body. The rope can come from your center torso or the crown chakra as it connects your body and soul. The cord has always been present, you are just taking notice. It is your rope, so pay attention to its weight, thickness, and size. Grab it and pull your soul out of your physical body.
• Experiences – As you feel yourself floating free of your physical body, you may feel as if you are floating farther out into the spiritual dimension. This is astral projection. What you will see and encounter is unique to each person. Some people meet spiritual guides or past loved ones. All experiences are valid.
• Come Back – Some people automatically come back, but if not pull yourself back using the silver rope. Your first projections may be short as it is common that excitement ends the journey. Process the experience and prepare to try again a different day. This is a practice designed to increase your knowledge of celestial wisdom and anyone can try it.

Everything we know in the world is comprised of electrical energy.  The way we interact with the resulting vibrations influence affects our perception of the experience.  For highly sensitive people, like empath, even the subtlest of variations in energy can be intense.

Our neuron system mirrors the electrical frequency and allows empaths to inherently sense what another may be feeling in a given moment.  When empaths observe a person’s actions, the corresponding region in their brain lights up.  Essentially the empath’s brain acts as if they were performing that experience.  Even more intense is a rare occurrence called mirror-touch synesthesia, where one’s visual and tactile sense merge to the point a people can “feel” their body being touched while watching how another body is touched.

It can be difficult to be an empath.  At times people wish to turn off their gift to make their lives seem easier or so they can “fit in.”  But at the moments you less expect it, you can truly understand what a blessing this skill truly is.  Perhaps you have a memory of helping someone through a crisis that they hadn’t previously been able to vocalize.  Through your innate sense of knowing, you could say or act in a manner that most resonated with them and alleviated their pain.  This is because emotions are a finely tuned instrument for any empath.

Empath experience the world in an incredibly intense manner, and rarely rationalize their feelings.  Instead, they are governed by their intuition.  They thrive in serving others and fostering harmony with their communities and the world around them.  They are excellent listener and are loyal friends who experience energies in a unique way.  However, all is not easy for empaths.  There can be a dark shadow side empaths must traverse, including the stress of processing other people’s emotions.

In order to fully embrace your talents being an empath, here are five problems that you must learn how to address in order to optimize your wellness:

1. You have to balance two opposing spiritual forces: Empaths feel profound levels of positive and negative emotions constantly.  All this conflicting energy is stored within their hearts.  This causes an overabundance of stress and if not managed properly the empath may fall victim to the stresses in their live and around them.
2. Knowing the extent of evil in the world, makes them vulnerable to toxicity and energy vampires: Sometimes being and empath is like being a walking open book.  Energy vampires can sense their receptivity and target them repeatedly because empaths are natural helpers and healers.  Likewise, getting constantly bombarded with negative energy and the extent of how living beings hurt can be very draining on an empath and they can accidently make external pain their own.
3. Empaths over absorb energies all day long: Endless exposure to external energies are draining on an empath.  No matter how hard they try not to show this struggle to world around them, an empath’s body will always keep score.  Over the years this relentless attack of negativity can cause physical, mental, and spiritual wounds to an empath unless they learn how to manage their energy absorption better.
4. When in love, an empath cannot fully devote themselves to their partner: People all day long are sharing their emotions, thoughts, and experiences with an empath.  This can make it seem like there is whole village in the middle of an empath’s relationship.  The empath must learn to keep a little piece of them tuck away as a method of survival and thus can accidently put-up inappropriate guards.  They must learn to work with their partner and a therapist on how to love fully and help people in need safely.
5. Consistently dealing with inner conflict can cause empaths additional stress: Empath constantly must navigate between positive and negative vibrations.  The toxic emotions are particular overwhelming and can cause self-destructive behaviors.  Empaths can manage this inner battle by identifying internal and external emotions or thoughts.  Then they must work to release the external experiences and prioritize their own feelings.

Not everything is good in an empath’s life.  Constant exposure to heavy emotions can cause empaths to ignore their own needs to the point their health suffers.  Empaths must learn how to set and maintain limits to their assistance.  It is not their duty to solve the world’s problems.

People that work out and take care of their body will more than likely be happier and will feel better than other people. Just like working out, people that take charge of their intuition and develop it more will learn to be happier and will also feel better than those that don’t.
