These types of people, whether fully conscious of it or not, have perhaps learned one of life’s hardest lessons and to me, that is to accept yourself.

In my experience, personal or otherwise, it seems that those empowered with this connection, are either consciously or subconsciously breaking the cycle, the patterns we all end up forming, healthy or otherwise. They are instead living from what is commonly known as the “heart-space” and a little less to serve the “mind-space”.
On some level, it’s as if they’ve tapped into the awareness that while technically “Mind” is the only thing that moves, it is US, the conscious creativity we each envelop when incarnating here on Earth whom initiate the push. It’s like being chained up your entire life only to finally realize the chains were never locked or attached to anything solid or stable.
Inner freedom is perhaps the spark of the science behind our experiences. The freer we feel in our lives, in our choices, and the events going on around us, the more grounded we become in our understanding. Knowing that this freedom, which we are all born with and yet only some regain, would act to naturally give us a sense of controlled comfort, yet not unyielding to the possibility of suffrage or struggle. Not to say this acceptance or inner knowing doesn’t come with a nice side dish of fear, but rather than allowing said fear to barricade progress, it is used as a launch pad forward. And the fear eventually ceases because with this knowledge comes the foresight that you actually have a say in the direction in which your next move is fired and with how much ammunition.

An ‘aura’ field can be defined as a luminous glow or radiation that surrounds a person’s body, almost like a halo.

We know that energy cannot be seen with the naked human eye, which is why attempts to measure invisible phenomena scientifically are often greeted with harsh criticism, but thanks to the groundbreaking work of dedicated scientists from all over the world, the concept of non-material science are starting to become accepted in the mainstream. This refers to the idea that the physical material reality we perceive with our senses isn’t the only reality that’s available for us to study in a modern day scientific manner.
“The day science begins to study non-physical phenomena, it will make more progress in one decade than in all the previous centuries of its existence.” – Nikola Tesla
Before getting into how our aura can affect us and those around us, I’d like to mention that human thoughts, intentions, feelings and emotions — ‘factors associated with consciousness’ — have been shown to have a direct effect on and correlation to our physical material world.
The stream of knowledge is heading toward a non-mechanical reality; the universe begins to look more like a great thought than like a great machine. Mind no longer appears to be an accidental intruder into the realm of matter, we ought rather to hail it as the creator and governor of the realm of matter. Get over it, and accept the inarguable conclusion. The universe is immaterial-mental and spiritual.

The Human Aura
Work by the brilliant scientists over at the Institute of HeartMath can perhaps best shed light on one aspect of the human aura. A large portion of their research has investigated heart and brain interaction. Researchers have examined how the heart and brain communicate with each other and how that affects our consciousness and the way in which we perceive our world. For example, when a person is feeling really positive emotions like gratitude, love, or appreciation, the heart beats out a certain message. Because the heart beats out the largest electromagnetic field produced in the body, researchers are able to gather significant data from it. According to Rolin McCratey, Ph.D., and Director of Research at the Institute:
Emotional information is actually included and modulated into these fields. By learning to shift our emotions, we are changing the information coded into the magnetic fields that are radiated by the heart, and that can impact those around us. We are fundamentally and deeply connected with each other and the planet itself, and what we do individually really does count and matters. (source)

It’s fascinating to consider how the heart’s magnetic field might be interacting with and affecting other people, and it leads me to wonder if perhaps the electromagnetic fields around our bodies are somehow connected to that of the Earth.

Leibniz viewed apperception as “consciousness, or the reflective knowledge of this internal state.” He adds that this is “something not given to all souls, nor at all times to a given soul.” Some consider Leibniz to be the grandfather of artificial intelligence, since he conceived of human cognition in computational terms, with human cognitive processes following determinable axioms of logic.
This skill of being self-aware can be further developed through meditation. We can learn that we are not those thoughts nor those feelings. For example, we can meditate to gain the ability to learn to see our thoughts and feelings go by, like clouds in the sky.
We can practice identifying with being the Observer of those thoughts and feelings–more like the Driver in a car, the Captain of a ship, or the Pilot in a plane. For those of us who are spiritually oriented, we can experience a difference between our daily, egoic self–the one concerned about personal safety and experiencing various kinds of pain–and our infinite, eternal Self.
This is also where things get interesting, thanks to the Observer Effect.
Observer Effect
In quantum physics, the observer effect is the principle that an observer's choice of when, where, and how to make a given observation absolutely influences what is subsequently observed. Scientific experiments confirmed in 2019 that two observers watching the same event at the same place and time are absolutely capable of witnessing two different things, as I previously described, in my blog post: physics experiment challenges objective reality.
Our decision of how we choose to observe can be viewed as asking Nature a question, as physicist John Archibald Wheeler surmised.
Value of Subjective Reality
In most cases where we notice a reality shift or Mandela effect, we remember a distinctively different event or thing than is now accepted as being historically true. We do not typically recall several different realities, but usually just one or possibly two. There appears to be a tendency for most people observing reality shifts and Mandela Effects to be aware of binary (two-option) scenarios. For example, some people remember first hearing of Nelson Mandela's death while he was incarcerated in prison in the 1980s–while others first remember hearing of his death in December 2013. Another example is that some people remember the Star Wars character, Darth Vader, saying “Luke, I am your father”–while others recall him saying, “No, I am your father.” There also exist some examples of Mandela effects and reality shifts where more than two realities are recalled. One such example appears in the case of the restaurant chain Chick-Fil-A, which some people recall having previously either being: Chic-Fil-A or Chik-Fil-A.
Our Many Minds
Our assumption that each one of us exists as a unified individual may not be true. Carl Jung once said, “The so-called unity of consciousness is an illusion… we like to think that we are one, but we are not.” George Ivanovich Gurdjieff emphasized the point that man has no single big “I”; man is divided into a multiplicity of small “I's.”
Carl Jung adopted an intriguing theory of personality, no doubt influenced by his observation of a young cousin who had multiple personality disorder.
“When Carl Jung was still a university student in Basel, he was intrigued by the behavior of a female cousin aged fifteen and a half who began to exhibit signs of multiple personality. She would become suddenly pale, sink slowly to the ground (or a chair), then begin to speak in a manner completely unlike her everyday self. Instead of her usual Swiss dialect, she spoke literary German in a smooth and assured manner. Various spirits claimed to speak through her mouth,* and her mannerisms changed completely as different ones ‘took over.’” Of the “various spirits” that spoke through her, Colin Wilson tells us, “One of them claimed to be her grandfather who had been a banal and sanctimonious clergyman. Another was an inane chatterer who flirted with the ladies who came to the ‘séances.’ Another, who claimed to be a nobleman, was an amusing gossip who spoke High German with a North German accent.” Jung observed that when his cousin held séances, she took on a countenance quite different from her normal appearance and manner: “She could talk so seriously, so forcefully and convincingly, that one almost had to ask oneself: Is this really a girl of fifteen and a half? One had the impression that a mature woman was being acted out with considerable dramatic talent.” Jung took detailed notes at the séances, and later—after studying with Pierre Janet in Paris in 1902—expanded them into the doctoral thesis he wrote for his medical degree. In Jung's first published work he wrote, “on the subpersonalities and other dissociative phenomena produced by his psychic cousin during her mediumistic séances.” (Colin Wilson, “Mysteries”)
Jung observed that the tendency to split into various aspects of psyche is not merely a matter of psychopathology, but indeed occurs in normal people, too. While typically unobserved, complexes can behave like independent beings–like aspects of ourselves with ‘minds of their own.' Most of us recognize that we adopt various personas, which we is an expression of our ego, rather than our true self. Problems can occur if we overly-identify with a persona (or mask) over true genuine feelings about who we are. .
Neuropsychologist Roger Wolcott Sperry won the Nobel Prize in 1981 for discoveries concerning functional specialization in the two hemispheres of our brain.

Reality Selection
Thanks to the amazing power of the Observer Effect, we are capable of selecting which type of Observer we wish to be, among a multitude of possibilities.

Did you ever wonder how some people face any situation they are put in with panache? That’s because they have a high level of emotional intelligence, which means they can manage feelings like anger, happiness, insecurity, and fear better. Therefore, their responses to most situations are appropriate as compared to those with a lower degree of emotional intelligence. Such people are often happy, and there’s so much to learn from them. Their happiness and self-satisfaction can be directly linked to their high levels of emotional intelligence. Here are a few strategies they follow to stay happy that are worth emulating:
They Are More Self-Aware
The first step towards a happy state of mind is to identify what makes you negative. You need to be aware of who or what puts you down. Avoid self-criticism or self-pity. Emotionally intelligent people are always aware, and their awareness works as a powerful tool to maintain high levels of happiness. Being aware helps you remind yourself of your strengths and stop that self-deprecating monologue that runs in your head all day. This strategy will help you fight those thoughts and focus on your core strengths and triumphs.
They Are More Compassionate
Only when we care for other people can we be truly satisfied with what we have. Compassion can make us feel good, and it also teaches us a lot about other people. Emotionally intelligent people care for others selflessly. Wishing others well, without any expectations, makes you a better person and gives you satisfaction or a feeling of fulfillment that nothing can beat. When you feel what another person is feeling, it builds a rapport between the two of you. That is the power of emotional empathy. When you have strong, caring feelings even for people you don’t have a strong connection with, your happiness grows by leaps and bounds.
They Always Manage Their Reactions
Another way in which emotionally intelligent people avoid negativity is by managing their reactions. They use their awareness to control their own emotions as well as those they interact with. When we do not have control over our emotions, we tend to act in inappropriate ways. This might also adversely affect our thinking. Emotionally intelligent people have a sense of balance that enables them to maintain their composure, which, in turn, lets them communicate successfully with others.
They Surround Themselves With Positivity
Another strategy emotionally intelligent people follow is to always surround themselves with things and people that make them happy. They know who or what can trigger sadness or negativity, and hence, they spend more time with positive people. They like to achieve success and experience every bit of it. They are often high spirited and find ways to make life fun, not just for them, but even for those around them. And that’s what makes them stand apart from the crowd.
They Are Always Looking Forward
Emotionally intelligent people never dwell in the past. They learn from it and move on. They are always looking forward to something and work on it. Emotionally intelligent people understand failures do not define their worth. They do not get anxious or depressed over problems or challenges that happened in the past and are not bogged down by failures. They are more passionate about what they learn and how it will help them in the long run.
These are a few ways in which emotionally intelligent people maintain their happiness. Follow these tips, and you will start doing better at work and relationships and live a happier life. Emotional intelligence deepens your empathy and your ability to utilize your skills better and makes you a better person. So, practice these strategies and see how they impact your life.

However, the purpose of this conjunction is to help us let go of the obsolete in life, clearing the way for new growth and large scale change. Rebirth and deep transformation will be the end result. We may experience some control issues and inner conflicts along the way as we surrender to a more authentic and truthful expression. We discover that we are much more capable and courageous than we realize.
In addition, the nodes of the Moon, Rahu and Ketu are now transiting the more difficult nakshatras of Ardra and Mula, which began February 11 and will end April 22, 2020. These nakshatras can create sorrow, tears, and financial concerns, and bring events take us to the core of our being. But they also amplify greater compassion and healing energies too, and this is what we must focus on. The last time the nodes were in these nakshatras was during the period of September 11, 2001.
There are three major planets now transiting the cardinal earth sign of Capricorn: Saturn, Mars, and Jupiter. Capricorn is a sign that favors discipline, determination, organization, and hard work. Capricorn’s shadow is too much emphasis on control and convention, and some pessimism. Saturn has been in Capricorn since January 23, 2020, Mars entered this sign on March 22, 2020, and Jupiter just began its transit through Capricorn on March 29, 2020.
Both Saturn and Mars are powerfully placed here – Saturn is transiting its own sign, and Mars is transiting its sign of exaltation. Saturn and Mars can give strength and endurance, and very concentrated will-power, which we need now. Mars is a planet of bravery and action, and Saturn can bring caution and restrictions. Saturn can delay the action-oriented Mars and slow it down. We can experience inconsistencies in our energy level and have issues getting things done. So this is a positive time to work with self-discipline, have a healthy daily routine, take joy in the simple things in life, and get plenty of rest.
Jupiter, now transits its debilitated sign of Capricorn for three months, from March 29 to June 29, 2020, where it joins Saturn and Mars. Jupiter does experience some reversal of its debility with these two planets which is helpful. Jupiter, a planet of expansion and prosperity, is now in the restricted Saturn-ruled sign, indicating a need to be more practical with finances, and plan realistically. Our hopes and dreams are tempered by realism. This is a very important time to find for your true spiritual values. Help those in need the best you can. Work with more authenticity and transparency in your life. Be humble and bring more compassion into your heart and when being with others.
Venus, planet of love, relationship, finance, the arts, and healing, transits Taurus, its own sign, the whole month of April, meaning Venus is quite happy and powerful now. Venus will be in Taurus a long time this year, due to going retrograde in May. Venus in Taurus can bring forth our artistic and creative talents now. We may find that music or sound healing is a calming influence in these challenging times. All of our relationships, whether with friends or family, are truly of great importance to us, and we are grateful for the support and love we share. Venus in the earth sign of Taurus can also generate more interest in gardening, growing your own food, using natural remedies, or just appreciating Mother Nature. On a financial level, security is a big focus.
Mercury briefly transits its debilitated sign of Pisces from April 7 to April 24, 2020, which brings greater sensitivity and intuitiveness in how we communicate with others. Saturn in Capricorn will aspect Mercury in Pisces at 7 degrees on April 11, 2020, indicating a need for more responsibility and directness in our communications. There could also be restrictions or delays in travel. Use more discernment and develop proper boundaries when Mercury transits Pisces. Remedies are meditation, pranayama, and journaling.
The Sun begins its yearly transit through Aries, its exalted sign, from April 13 to May 14, 2020. We feel more empowered, ambitious, and are self-initiating. The Sun in Aries is very pioneering and enthusiastic. But watch for impulsivity and not planning ahead.
Akshaya Tritiya (a very auspicious day in the Vedic calendar) occurs on April 25, 2020 this year. This day is third lunar day of the waxing Moon that occurs either in April or May, when the Sun and Moon are both exalted, generating very favorable solar and lunar energies. According to an ancient legend, this is the day when the sacred Ganges River descended to earth from heaven. This is considered a very auspicious day for starting new activities that you wish to grow, prosper, and endure.

Wellbeing is something that is hard to define and yet we all have an understanding of what it is. It derives from how you feel about yourself and your life, whether things are going well, and how you cope with stress. Wellbeing changes over time and is influenced by every aspect of our lives, from close friendships to feel that you belong and a sense of purpose.
Neuroscientist Richard J. Davidson, the founder of the Center for Healthy Minds, is one of the world’s leading experts on the impact of contemplative practices, such as mindfulness meditation, on the brain. He says that wellbeing is not a static ‘thing’–but a set of skills that we can practice and strengthen, just like learning to play a musical instrument or ride a bike.
“Wellbeing is fundamentally no different than learning to play the cello. If one practices the skills of wellbeing, one will get better at it”
The Four Keys to Wellbeing
Research reveals there are four areas of mental training that can significantly improve your wellbeing: Resilience, outlook, awareness, and generosity. “Each of these four is rooted in neural circuits, and each of these neural circuits exhibits plasticity,” explains Davidson. “So we know that if we exercise these circuits, they will strengthen.”
It’s easy to be content when things are going well but what about when we face hardship? I’ll never forget the moment when my mum told me that she had breast cancer. It is in times like these that we need the strong foundation of wellbeing to hold us up.
Practicing these four skills can provide the key to enduring change and increased wellbeing.
1. Resilience
Resilience, or how quickly we recover from adversity, influences the amount of negative emotion that we experience. My mum was a doctor who cared for other people, the one who held our family together, and it was a shock to recognize her vulnerability.
Some people recover from a failed exam or loss of a job slowly, while others are able to rebound more easily from adversity.
“We know that individuals who show a more rapid recovery in certain key neural circuits have higher levels of wellbeing. They are protected in many ways from the adverse consequences of life’s slings and arrows.”
One of the ways that Davidson has found to improve your resilience is by regular practice of mindfulness meditation. It takes time to alter these specific brain circuits and you need many hours of practice before you see real change. “It’s not something that is going to happen quickly,” he says. “But this insight can still motivate and inspire us to keep meditating.”
2. Outlook
Whether it’s savoring the last bite of chocolate cake or enjoying a family holiday, a positive outlook on life increases our wellbeing. “I use outlook to refer to the ability to see the positive in others,” says Davidson. “The ability to savor positive experiences, the ability to see another human being as a human being who has innate basic goodness.”
Even people who suffer from depression show activation in the brain circuit underlying outlook, but in them, it doesn’t last—it’s very transient.
“Here, unlike with resilience, research indicates that simple practices of loving-kindness and compassion meditation may alter this circuitry quite quickly, after a very, very modest dose of practice.”
I couldn’t take my mum’s cancer away but I could be there for her, spend time holding her hand, and go for long walks together on the beach. I savored every moment I had with her because I didn’t know how long it would last.
A recent study by Healthy Minds found that compassion training for 30 minutes a day for two weeks resulted not only in changes in the brain but also made it more likely for people to be kind and help others.

consciouslifenews--2020-03-31--Finding Harmony in Chaos

Finding Harmony in Chaos

In these times , it 's easy to feel as if everything is thrown into chaos .
The following story is about how sometimes harmony and rhythm can be found in the chaos .
In 2003 , I attended a life-changing concert—Herbie Hancock teamed up with other jazz greats such as Michael Brecker and Roy Hargrove in a quintet to celebrate the music of Miles Davis and John Coltrane , both of whom would have turned a heavenly 77 that year .
The two horn players chosen to honor those dead gods of Jazz have themselves now passed on , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and can count themselves in the numbers of saints who come marching in .
It was Spiritual .
There was a moment in the concert when the horns were off stage allowing the rhythm section to solo .
The concert hall was dark except for three dim spotlights , each illuminating a musician on stage .
Herbie Hancock was hunched over his keys popping dissonant chords like ice on a red-hot stove .
John Patitucci 's fingers blurred and tangled as they whirred around the fretboard of his double bass .
The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Popping , clinking , banging , like someone rummaging through a junk drawer .
Then , each musician began to play as if oblivious to the other musicians .
All three seemed to abandon the song 's underlying structure , the musical map that makes playing together possible .
They were alone , lost and consumed in the rite of making their own art .
Time began to slip away and it became more of an abstract idea than a perceptible pulse .
Impossible to find a down-beat .
The music floated @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I could see the music personified on the furrowed brows and grimaces of the musicians .
Their notes were together turbulent , raging , furious , and at times lackadaisical .
I drifted with the music .
Despite the musical trip , however , something was gnawing at me .
It was my rational mind wondering how the music could possibly come back together from this entropy , this chaos .
I could see no signs that the musicians were following any sort of map in the song 's structure .
How would @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and start the melody again , the head ?
How would the rhythm section come back together ?
And with these questions , my eyes fixed upon the musicians , hypnotized to the scene before me .
Afraid to miss a single note , I stared wide-eyed , wondering what would happen next .
Minutes and seconds had ceased .
And after an age , suddenly the horns were back on stage .
Without a word , and without a cue , without a gesture , not even a glance , the rhythm @ @ @ @ @ @ @ swung 4/4 meter at the precise fraction of a second that both sax and trumpet blew a soft , low , singular , note .
The timbre of this note could not be discerned by the nature of the instruments ; it was both sax and trumpet .
A third horn .
A new name .
Invisible but right in front of me .
And with this new horn they began the head .
All five were playing as individuals , carving out their own signature and personalities with their instrument .
Yet @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and dissonance , every sound by each musician originated from the same steady beat of one shared heart .
It is this heart that makes the maps and this heart that sews the musicians together with an invisible thread .

I was seeing the finger of God .

Harmony In Chaos In these times, it's easy to feel as if everything is thrown into chaos. The following story is about how sometimes harmony and rhythm can be found in the chaos. In 2003, I attended a life-changing concert—Herbie Hancock teamed up with other jazz greats such as Michael Brecker and Roy Hargrove in a quintet to celebrate the music of Miles Davis and John Coltrane, both of whom would have turned a heavenly 77 that year. The two horn players chosen to honor those dead gods of Jazz have themselves now passed on, Brecker in 2007 and Hargrove in 2018, and can count themselves in the numbers of saints who come marching in.
Whether yoga asana or jazz, both modes point to that Oneness of being we all share. Both point to and celebrate spirit. The following is a story about this pointing.
Holy
It was Spiritual. There was a moment in the concert when the horns were off stage allowing the rhythm section to solo. The concert hall was dark except for three dim spotlights, each illuminating a musician on stage. Herbie Hancock was hunched over his keys popping dissonant chords like ice on a red-hot stove. John Patitucci's fingers blurred and tangled as they whirred around the fretboard of his double bass. The drummer was nimbly tap-dancing around his set. Popping, clinking, banging, like someone rummaging through a junk drawer. Then, each musician began to play as if oblivious to the other musicians. All three seemed to abandon the song's underlying structure, the musical map that makes playing together possible. They were alone, lost and consumed in the rite of making their own art. Time began to slip away and it became more of an abstract idea than a perceptible pulse. Impossible to find a down-beat.
The music floated like this for eternally long minutes. I could see the music personified on the furrowed brows and grimaces of the musicians. Their notes were together turbulent, raging, furious, and at times lackadaisical. I drifted with the music. Despite the musical trip, however, something was gnawing at me. It was my rational mind wondering how the music could possibly come back together from this entropy, this chaos. I could see no signs that the musicians were following any sort of map in the song's structure. How would the horns know when to come in and start the melody again, the head? How would the rhythm section come back together? And with these questions, my eyes fixed upon the musicians, hypnotized to the scene before me. Afraid to miss a single note, I stared wide-eyed, wondering what would happen next. Minutes and seconds had ceased.
Rebirth
And after an age, suddenly the horns were back on stage. Without a word, and without a cue, without a gesture, not even a glance, the rhythm section simultaneously aligned to a slow, swung 4/4 meter at the precise fraction of a second that both sax and trumpet blew a soft, low, singular, note. The timbre of this note could not be discerned by the nature of the instruments; it was both sax and trumpet. A third horn. A new name. Invisible but right in front of me. And with this new horn they began the head.
All five were playing as individuals, carving out their own signature and personalities with their instrument. Yet despite the apparent autonomy, chaos, and dissonance, every sound by each musician originated from the same steady beat of one shared heart. It is this heart that makes the maps and this heart that sews the musicians together with an invisible thread. My soul was witnessing a miracle. As I watched and heard them play, I was sensing this shared, invisible heart. I was seeing the finger of God.

consciouslifenews--2020-03-31--The Day I Stopped Being Cynical About Tarot Reading

I used to be very skeptical about the psychic world .
I couldn ’ t understand how it was possible for someone to decipher what would happen to me in the future or to communicate with my loved ones who had already departed .
The topic , in general , displeased me although many of my friends believed faithfully in all the goodness that this service offers .
I could n't even believe in the horoscope .
I did n't understand why people paid attention to the date of birth as if it was more than just a day and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ anyone could tell me if I was going to be lucky in love just by reading a letter .
The truth is that it did n't seem logical to me and I simply could n't believe it .
I was completely reluctant to do it but , at a precise moment , everything changed .
I can say with total certainty that this day changed my life completely .
I attended an event with my best friend and there sat a psychic .
My partner motivated me to talk a little with her @ @ @ @ @ @ @ t want to but she seemed to be a very friendly and intelligent person .
We talked for a while and she offered to read the tarot cards for me .
I refused immediately but both her and my friend insisted on how good it could be for me .
So I did it .
I asked her to explain a bit about it and , after that , to read the tarot cards .
She told me many strong and hard things .

I used to be very skeptical about the psychic world. I couldn’t understand how it was possible for someone to decipher what would happen to me in the future or to communicate with my loved ones who had already departed. The topic, in general, displeased me although many of my friends believed faithfully in all the goodness that this service offers.
I couldn't even believe in the horoscope. I didn't understand why people paid attention to the date of birth as if it was more than just a day and I didn't find any sense that anyone could tell me if I was going to be lucky in love just by reading a letter.
The truth is that it didn't seem logical to me and I simply couldn't believe it. I was completely reluctant to do it but, at a precise moment, everything changed.
The day I'll never forget.
I can say with total certainty that this day changed my life completely. I attended an event with my best friend and there sat a psychic. My partner motivated me to talk a little with her. At first, I didn’t want to but she seemed to be a very friendly and intelligent person. We talked for a while and she offered to read the tarot cards for me. I refused immediately but both her and my friend insisted on how good it could be for me. So I did it. I asked her to explain a bit about it and, after that, to read the tarot cards.
She told me many strong and hard things. She talked about what was happening to me and what would probably happen to me in the future . Also, she explained to me every aspect of my life in detail, including love, work, and family life. The truth is that, at that time, I didn't feel comfortable. I couldn't believe all the things she was saying. I couldn't and I didn't want to do it. I was very displeased that someone was telling lies about what I would be in a few years. But what surprised me the most was that the psychic was not lying.
I don't know how but everything she said began to happen. The tarot card predictions happened exactly as she described them and my path took on a very different sense from what I expected.
I decided to look for her. I ran to my friend's house and I asked her for help to contact the psychic we had seen a few weeks ago. I didn't know what to say but, at the moment she answered my call, she said, “I knew you would call”. I felt a little scared but, at the same time, I was relieved to be able to talk to her again.
