Movie: The Gift — Creep Factor

Wednesday, November 2nd, 2005

Saw The Gift.

Someone called about a week or so ago to talk to me about a potential reading with her and her husband. They never did call me back; however, while talking she mentioned watching this movie. We were talking about how being a psychic could be a dangerous job especially when working with couples (and one isn’t involved in the reading).

I don’t work with Santeria, Voodoo, Black Magic, or Anything Negative (not that I believe Santeria or Voodoo is negative but a lot of people looking for it want to practice it in negative ways) and it bothers me when I speak with someone who does. Some people believe hexes have been placed on them and their loved ones and honestly these very same people seem to be quite negative and challenging themselves so I guess it’s hard to say what’s really going on but be sure I don’t want to talk to *anyone* who has negative words to say about others. It’s one thing to be angry and upset but it’s another to think one is a total angel and have no idea why bad things might be happening to them — that’s not taking any responsibility for what comes at them in life.

It was pretty creepy to watch the show though I’m not certain why she was using “Zener” cards for her readings. I have used them to practice telepathy but for readings?… hrmm

Some spots seemed true while other’s did not. Thankfully I don’t really have visions since I’m not clairvoyant in that way. Though I would like to see *some* visions, I just don’t want to see anything “bad” which is why I block that part off. Which is why most people are NOT clairvoyant. It’s because they don’t want to be. Imagine the weight put on your shoulders if you were.

When she was doing a reading for the lady at the end and she said she was happy that the woman who was fooling around with her husband was dead and if the reader could “read her thoughts” and how she shivered and just closed up the cards. I have had that. I had that today. It’s when someone shares their negative energy with me “on purpose”! Of course the sitter doesn’t understand at all why we can’t read for them. *sigh* You are not getting your haircut done.

Though I do my best to avoid this with different techniques sometimes the odd negative energy gets through. This psychic stuff can be more of a curse than a blessing… really, especially when people are fixed in their ways, have psychological problems that includes hurting others, and they are unable to move forward.

“They each lash out at Annie and her Zener cards for providing the exact objectivity they sought. Fortune telling is like any other profession that involves consultation: if comfort and the truth are exclusive, people generally prefer the former.” Filmfreak

Book: Escaping Emotional Entrapment

Monday, October 31st, 2005

Canadian Pricing: American Pricing:

This book uses R.E.B.TRational Emotive Behaviour Therapy

This was a pivotal book that I read about 5 years ago. It helps one think through emotional problems “objectively” and “rationally”. It also helps *reprogram* negative thoughts that we learned while growing up but in a good way (not brainwashing).

I originally picked this up to help a partner out of their tortured mind but as I read I saw myself. I was drawn to it and it helped me to release bad karma. Hope it helps you and yours too.

Preview the book.
