What your favorite color says about you – Aqua

aquaWelcome back to my continuing series about the colors of energy. The first four paragraphs explain the process, then we’ll get to this post’s color.

You may know that I work a lot around the colors of energy. If you’ve had a reading from me, you know that I give you a “color snapshot” that tells you what color is primary in your life energy at the moment, and then I explain what that means. Similarly, I read auras (even though I don’t call them that) and I relate what I see in colors, shapes, and location around your physical body. This all helps me to interpret for you just what you need to know.

I understand and work with color so well that I decided to help you understand it better too. This is why I have written this series, What Your Favorite Color Says about You.

It’s as the title says; however, I realize that some people don’t have a favorite color, and some people have more than one. That’s okay. Here are some ways to determine what color or colors pertain most to you and your life:

  • If you have an actual favorite color, well, there you go.
  • If you have a secondary and tertiary favorite, those will pertain to you too.
  • Look in your closet: What color/s are most prominent in your wardrobe?
  • What color is your car? This is applicable even if you did not choose the color of your car, maybe even more so. I notice that people often wear the color/s that are present in their energy, and that their cars and other belongings tend to have them too.
  • If you really, really don’t have a favorite or un-favorite or a strong opinion, you’re a rainbow!

Each color has a “light” side and a “shadow” side, or positive and negative. (Note: This does NOT mean good and evil! Everything is useful and there is no devil! But that’s another story…) I’ll call them “bright” and “dark” because we describe colors that way. You may consider the “dark” version of the color to be your un-favorite, but either or both may apply to you. See how you identify with the following.

Note:  I had planned to do BLACK this time, after the last post on white; however, Aqua nudged me and wouldn’t leave me alone, so I am following my inspiration and going with AQUA!

This time, our color is aqua (or blue-green). If aqua is your favorite color or your un-favorite color (or otherwise present in your life; see above), here are the ideas and values you are concerned about:

Aqua overview:  Somewhere between self-acceptance (green) and self-expression (turquoise) lies aqua; money and finances; the ability to allow money into your life.

Bright aqua:  You are good at making money or at least good at having it in your life.  You don’t have to worry too much, because your material needs are generally met.  You may enjoy shopping as a creative activity, you might like to balance your checkbook or do other self-accounting work, and you probably have a good head for figures all the way around.

Dark aqua (or blue-green, aquamarine):  You can see this coming, can’t you?  It means you are likely to struggle to earn money or allow it into your life, you may have problems with debt, live paycheck to paycheck, always worrying about how to pay the next bill.  Or it may not be that bad, but you are not where you want to be financially.  You don’t necessarily have a head for numbers (although some on the dark side do!), and money can be baffling for you in general.  To head back to the bright side, meditate on aqua, surrounding yourself in aqua light, and study up on Law of Attraction.

Acceptance

I worked in a t-shirt shop when I was in high school.  It was called the Top Shop, and we used big square irons to stick on transfers and letters to all kinds of things. I got the job when I was 15, because the owner, Mr. Smith, was a life-long friend of my parents.  One day, he called up my mom and asked if I would like to come to the store and hang up shirts for a few hours.  For money!  Of course, I said yes, and then, because I did an okay job, and I was a good student, Mr. Smith hired me as a regular employee.  I worked there for two and a half years.  And I had an impressive t-shirt wardrobe to show for it!

Mr. Smith was a pretty funny guy.  One of his favorite sayings was, “Don’t expect anything, and then you won’t be disappointed.”

While this sounds very cynical, especially to me, the original Pollyanna (yes, before the original original, there was I), but there’s some truth to it.

You know that Law of Attraction teaches that you must expect what you want, that you have to believe as if you have received, and that “believing is seeing”, not the other way around.  Refer to any modern spiritual teachers or philosophers, such as Deepak Chopra, Abraham-Hicks, Dr. Wayne Dyer, and others.

But it’s also important to accept what is, here and now.  Check out Byron Katie’s book, Loving What Is.  I’m not saying you shouldn’t be optimistic.  Like I said, I’m a cock-eyed optimist, and for me, hope springs eternal.  But there is something to be said for looking at your current situation and saying, “Yes, it is.”  And then go on to imagine and feel and attract what you love, or, if you like where you are, to attract even more of that.

Several years ago, my friend Mollie was finishing her degree in psychology, and she told me there had a been a study done on people who lived to be 80 years old or older.  The most important thing these people had in common was an ability to accept loss and move past it.

Acceptance, in other words, increases your life expectancy.

And when it comes to relationships, romantic or otherwise, acceptance is usually more important than understanding.  (For a video in which I expound on this idea, click here.)  I try to live by this, accepting others as they are, and I appreciate being accepted and/or included, as well.

I realized not long ago that “inclusion” or “acceptance” is kind of “my thing”–“my Pollyanna thing”–and I started doing it consciously, catching myself if I judged someone or wanted him or her to behave differently.

Think about acceptance–and remember to accept yourself as you are, too!  Love yourself and others as they are, and your life will be far better!

 

Is There a Psychic Reading in Your Future?

Test-3_sm_aSome of my clients get their first psychic reading ever with me. Others have been to a psychic or two and still others have been to many. What happens in a psychic reading?

I don’t know what happens in that little house down on the freeway, the one with the red neon hand on the sign with a hand-painted note urging, “$25 special!”, but I know why my readings are like.

First, I’ll tell you what does not happen in a session with me.  I will not tell you there is a curse on you.  I will not give you bad news.  I will not tell you that unless you do such-and-such, you will die or never meet your soulmate or any negative and untrue crap like that.

And I absolutely will not tell you that your late grandmother is mad at you because you gave her secret recipe to your cousin or that your dead grandpa wants you to go to medical school.  Spirits of our late loved ones are not angry, and they seldom ask anything of us, unless it is to our benefit and it is utterly our choice.

You might think those sound silly, but some people are afraid of what they might get from a psychic.  It’s probably because of charlatans, but that is a diatribe that can wait.

So what does happen if you get a reading from me, besides it taking place on the phone, and besides not getting upset about Grandpa?

Broadly stated, you will get exactly what you are supposed to get, information that will benefit you at that moment, and suggestions for helping you create a better life.

More specifically, I will answer your questions about anything that is on your mind.  Want to know what to do about your job?  We’ll cover that.  Want to know what your husband is really thinking?  I will tell you that.  Usually, looking into your closest relationships and telling you about them is among my best gifts.

I’ll also tell you if loved ones come through from the Other Side.  Sometimes, it’s just a hello; other times, there is detailed information.  In one reading, the only person who came through was a classmate of the client’s, who had passed away over 30 years ago.  Just a classmate.  But he was someone she remembered well.  (You’ll find fascinating stories about my communication with spirits in my book, Dead On: Spirited Stories from a Medium’s Diary.)

Then I like to scan your energy.  Other practitioners might call this “reading your aura”.  When I close my eyes and ask our guides, I see you, as a person, and there are colors and shapes in and around you.  I explain these and draw them for you, and ask our guides what these mean.  Then I can interpret information for you that you don’t even know to ask about.  Things like, you’re trying to impress someone, and here’s how to do that better.  Or you are using one ability or talent to try to boost another.  And here’s what to do about that.

And finally, I throw a few oracle cards for you.  These are simple cards with a few words on them.  I use these to confirm what we’ve discussed and to be sure we didn’t miss anything.

With each card, I tell you the words on it and I might give you a “face-value” description.  Then I tap the card and tell you if I get anything that is specific to you.

We wrap up, and I send you my hand-written, customized notes for your reference.

And that’s what happens in a reading with me.  Get your very own private phone reading here.  Any questions?  You know where to find me!
