Have you considered the range of colors present in your personal chakras?  Certainly you are shining in every color of the rainbow. Those powerful energy vortices funnel into you the necessary life giving power of the one Great Source. They are the mechanism that allows you to exist as a Spirit living in a physical body.

Your chakras as a group contain all the colors of the rainbow in many varying shades while each individual vortex may be vibrating with only one color. Your overall aura or etheric body with its ever changing hues can contain myriad colors as well.

Chakra centers channel energy to you from the front, back and through your body. They bring in pure energy and are centers of consciousness. Are you aware that your chakras or these “wheels of light” as they are sometimes called, can store physical and soul memories even those of past or parallel lives? Consider the phrase “clearing karma”. Where might that karma be?

In my work with clearing and activating chakras I use three tools: crystals, tuning forks and color breathing. The crystal layout is for amplifying energy. The tuning forks are to achieve the desired vibration and speed of each vortex. Why color breathing? When a specific chakra is low in its appropriate color, it functions at a lesser level causing the adjoining chakras to be dampened or held back from their peak operating ability.

When all chakras are fully functional, clean and energized, there is an entrainment that happens between them resulting in a boost to your personal power.

A chakra that is clean and operating at optimum level is never muddy in color. The color should be light but luminous to reflect a healthy state. If I encounter a muddy appearance in any chakra while I am working with a client, I ask intuitively for the cause. If appropriate I can then offer some advice to them or adjust my work to correct the problem.

To enjoy a smooth physical and metaphysical/spiritual functioning, I ask my clients to use their imagination to breath colors into each chakra, one chakra at a time. I start with the base chakra and a clear red color, moving through the chain of chakras; using orange for the creative center, yellow for the emotions, green merging into pink for the heart and high heart, blue for communication, indigo for third eye, violet for the crown and finally white/gold/silver for the highest chakras which are above the physical body.

It has been my experience that even though I believe the colors to be correct, each person will vary those colors according to their own inner guide. In other words, if for you the sunshine yellow of your solar plexus or emotional chakra is more a pale lemon color, you should use that color. Whatever color or shade resonates with your intuitive understanding is the one you should employ.

It very well may be true that as we progress in our spiritual understanding or we move into higher levels of living and expressing, the colors we once used for our chakras may not be appropriate under the present circumstances. Going from 3^rd or 4^th dimensional living up to 5^th is bound to cause some changes in our energy needs.

Additionally I have found that some of my clients who are spending a good percentage of their time working in the higher realms of Spirit may need to be reminded from time to time to care for the three so called “lower” chakras. Those three can become quite depleted.

As long as we are living from a physical vehicle we need to be balanced and grounded utilizing the energies of the first or base chakra. The creative or sexual chakra plays an important role in our physical life and deserves attention. It is also especially important to be able to rely on our yardstick of emotions as provided by our solar plexus or third chakra.

What other methods can we employ to keep our chakras full of color? I suggest that we give particular attention to the color of our clothing. That is we can intuitively select the colors of the clothing we wear on any particular day or evening to ramp up our aura or to better fill a particular chakra.

In other words if you feel less than grounded or your self esteem and confidence are flagging, you might choose a red shirt or sweater. Feeling unloved? Bring out the green or pink. Need to fully or forcefully express your thoughts? Try blue to aqua.

Another method of selecting appropriate “refill” colors might be to use a pendulum to dowse some colored cards to get a “hit” on the color that is needed. You could also use the pendulum by asking “is my base chakra red enough?” or “does it need more energy or speed?” You could continue to take an inventory of the basic chakras in that way asking yes or no questions.

One of my friends in Tucson always suggests that you can draw a rainbow with color crayons. The idea is that as you draw and you feel your mouth want to water or salivate that is the color you need today! You may be perfectly balanced in colors or you may find one or more than one color is needed.

Whatever way you use to care for your chakras be sure to give them the attention they deserve. You will feel much more capable in so many areas of your life just because you spend a little extra time on this physical and spiritual health exercise.

I would like to help you with any of your life challenges. I can counsel with you in my Sarasota Florida studio or over the telephone. All appointments are completely confidential. I provide a cassette recording of your session for your later review.

Today I am giving you a very special gift. I am printing for you the personal permission slip you were given when you entered this lifetime. It says: “In this moment and now and forever you are granted the unending right to be and express that very special, unique, unusual individual you were born to be.” Now I must ask you: Are you willing to use that right?

Just as no two snowflakes are alike, you are not like any other person on this earth or possibly any other life form in the cosmos. It is your own individuality that is your gift. You are special and important. I applaud all your differences.

Somewhere deep inside you lives a power filled urging to carve your own path, to pull away from whatever anyone else thinks you should or ought to do. Your soul pushes you to express your uniqueness, to take chances by acting on your wildest ideas.

Oh, yes, you may have goals and objectives that are similar to the ideas of others, but your way of accomplishment will never be the same. Your methods will not be identical to those of anyone else. You were born to shine in your own way. None of you are clones.

Why is this so important? Because by acknowledging your unique desires and abilities you are shedding the inhibiting guidelines you have absorbed or inherited from family, friends or coworkers. This letting go of past instructions will allow you to finally fully actuate the life that your soul intended from your birth. By projecting the truth of who you are into your life, you may lose a friend or two but I promise you will attract others who see and appreciate the light and love that you are.

Going along with mass thought, following the majority or the crowd will not make you happy. It is not only O.K. to use the road less traveled, the belief system less used, it is necessary. Each of you must carve your own path by following the urging of your heart. When you feel joy pour over you like a warm shower you are pursuing exactly what you need to do regardless of anyone else’s opinion or reaction.

Because you are individual, one of a kind, there is no single plan, no one way for gaining those experiences and that education for which you came to earth, for which you incarnated to be here at this particular time in the planet’s evolution. “One size” does not now and never will “fit all”.

Do you have day dreams or night visions that tug at your heart, dreams that beg you to follow them? Do not let them get away for lack of your attention. Write down your desires. Maybe you feel they are impossible or impractical but do not let them get away.

If your dreams are important enough to stir your soul, imagination and emotion, they are important enough to keep. Those dreams can be Spirit’s way of giving you directions, allowing you to attain resonance with your soul. What does not work today may well work tomorrow. Just acknowledging the desires of your heart can magnetize your personal energy to draw others to help you. Writing those heartfelt desires in a journal brings them energy and life.

As a psychic, I offer Dream Work as well as Intuitive

Development classes from time to time. I design all of those classes to be as much fun and games as possible simply because people seem to learn much faster in that kind of format. Why study dreams? Why push toward intuitive development? Because if you become more aware of the inner essence or truth of what is happening within you and around you, you can make more life affirming choices.

I believe too many of us go through life holding back our words and thoughts for fear of offending someone with our beliefs or saying something too “far out.” Much to my daughter’s embarrassment, I have a habit of striking up a conversation about anything most anywhere. One night when we were entertaining I asked our guests “Have any of you ever seen a U.F.O.?” I could almost feel my daughter sink into the carpet. But that question started a very lively and interesting conversation.

Let me tell you about my trip to Walmart the other day. This story has nothing to do with guides, angels and masters or even the meaning of life but here it is anyway. I had just walked in the back door of Walmart when I noticed this little curly haired older lady with an empty shopping cart. She was leaning just a bit on a small cane. Without meaning to I began to laugh so hard I nearly turned inside out.

Naturally she turned to look at me. I touched her lightly on one shoulder and said “I just can’t help it. I got the funniest idea in my mind that I was going to grab your cart and run down the aisle with you chasing me. I would never do such a thing and I can’t imagine why I even thought it! I must be tired to get so silly.” By that time we were both laughing till people began to stare. She said, “Worse than that, I wouldn’t have been able to catch you!”

I like to think that both of us felt a little lighter after all that fun. I smile every time I think about it. We tend to take everything in life so seriously that once in a while we just need a little comic relief.

To some degree all of us are the product of those “rights and wrongs” we learned in childhood. Our parents with their beliefs and understanding did the best they could to guide us but as adults we need to look carefully at those early rules and judgments that may no longer serve us. We need to acknowledge something as basic as it is alright to talk to strangers.

In still another realm of influence we may be tempted to “fall in line” with our friends or co-workers ideas of what is right for us when what we really need is to learn to listen to our soul’s directions.

To illustrate our tendency to do the so called right or expected thing, let me tell you about my cat Festus. I had just moved with my adopted alley cat, Festus, to a new home in Austin, Texas. I was worried that he would become disoriented in the neighborhood so I bought a little harness and attached him with a chain on the patio under the shade of the roof. I intended to keep him tied for maybe three days until he could understand that this was his new home.

All went well for a couple of days. I kept him fed, watered and shaded. Then on day number three I came out to pet him and there was no Festus, just a harness and a chain. I immediately started searching the neighborhood and spotted him a few blocks down the street. When I called to him he ran the opposite direction. I thought that was the end of that.

However, when I got back to the house there he was, sitting right beside his harness and chain pretending he was still attached. How smart are animals? I have to wonder though if his behavior wasn’t akin to something we do. We break away from some of the old learned behaviors that no longer fit and then, out of comfort or familiarity, we go right back.

Perhaps unconsciously, we feel the need to conform to the patterns that our family or friends have created for us. Most folks have a tendency to resist change. Those people we are close to may be more content with their perceptions of us if we are willing to be predictable. They may be happier if what they have decided to be true about us remains static. In many cases, they prefer it if we will stay in the little identity box they have created for us.

Is it any wonder that we tend to have communication challenges with our relationships when we understand things so differently? Working with your own intuition, sharpening your inner awareness can be a communication tool and blessing. Strengthened intuition absolutely will improve your understanding of others in your life, but equally important, it will help you to understand your own actions and motivations.

I am reminded of one of the Carlos Castaneda books. In it his mentor and teacher, Don Juan, tells Carlos, “You must lose your personal history.” Carlos says he can’t do that. He has earned this degree, he has had this experience. But Don Juan insists, telling him he has to be who he is today, this minute.

I believe that is what each of us must do. Yes, our past has brought us to this day, our current level of understanding, but we cannot live from or in the past. We need to be the new “this minute” us, this “now” us with all our new ideas, understanding and concepts.  It is definitely o.k. to be different! It is right that you and only you should select your current path and ideas.

Embrace change. Welcome it in your life. It is only through change that you can move forward. Look at your own life from a different point of view. Ask yourself questions! Who or what is center stage in your life today? Is there reciprocity in this situation or are you bleeding away all your energy. Does this activity or relationship fill you with joy or emptiness?

Sometimes that which was on center stage in your life needs to be loved from a distance or moved to the curb!

Each of you has a soul that is always prompting you to move forward, to accomplish. It urges you from your heart to be as much as you can be, to use your special gifts and talents.

Listen to that warm, urging heart emotion. If you are able to perceive that heart and soul wisdom with greater understanding and give it your full attention, you will find the way to access a more fulfilling joy and flow in your life.

How can you know if you are on your LIFE PATH? I have the question so many times in my work as a counselor. Fortunately, you have been given the measuring stick or tool to use for just such a question. When the path your are on, the work you are doing is so much a part of you that minutes and hours spent in that endeavor mean nothing, you have found it. When you never bother to look at a clock because you are doing what you love, you are on your path. When your heart sings and your spirit soars, you have found IT!

Being your authentic self, finding your way to your special destination may not happen in an instant. No matter how long it takes, your dedication to the journey will be an inspiration to others. Each step along the way is a learning experience.

Develop the gifts and the talents that you have. Work with those occupations or goals that draw you in and will not let you go. No one person can decide for you what your life is about. Not your closest friend, not your parents, not your spouse can ever know the intimate details of what makes you special.

Be proud of your individuality and make the best use of it. You are important to this earth and all of her inhabitants. No one can make the contribution you came here to make. Believe in yourself and step forward with confidence.

I am always ready to help you with any of your life challenges and questions. Call today for your private counseling appointment. I welcome you to my Sarasota, Florida studio or to a telephone session. In either case I will give you a cassette tape of your reading for your later review. Be sure to ask about chakra clearings with sound, color and crystals and private intuitive development lessons.

Let me be straight forward about this subject: I believe in dreams, I believe in dream interpretation, I am enormously thankful for my dreams, but sometimes…

Lately I have had numerous requests to teach my dream workshop in various locations, various cities. Because I want to do my very best for these presentations my mind has been focused on continually improving what I offer.

The result of that intention to be at the “top of my game” manifested many, many restless nights when I felt it necessary to wake up and record yet another dream…just in case!

Those of you who have kept a dream journal for any length of time know how I felt. Dream work becomes a bit of a compulsion if you allow it. That is why I always tell my students that following their dreams needs to be a joy not a job.

With all that dreaming and writing, many are the mornings I would start my day feeling as if I had been trenching through a war zone. I finally decided I needed better continuous sleep. After all I did have my counseling and other matters requiring my attention.

I found a solution! I simply had a serious talk with my dream-maker. “If you only wake me when a dream involves new ways of service, one that uses me and my own storehouse of unconditional love and light, I promise to write down all the details.”

Thank goodness that worked. I had to repeat that talk a couple of nights in a row just to make the impression, indicate my seriousness, but yes it worked. “Wake up, wake up” dreams kept coming but not by the bushel basketful.

Perhaps I just needed to convince myself that my workshops did not have to be “perfect”. No, I haven’t stopped dreaming, but I do get a lot more sleep. Bless my subconscious mind! It does take direction well. Plus it never sleeps because “she” never needs it!

I am wishing all of you the happiest and most productive of dreams even if some of them come to you as nightmares just to get your attention.

If I may help you with dream interpretation or any Spirit channeled information, call today for your private appointment. I am always happy to help you with a reading or a complete chakra clearing utilizing sound, color and crystals.

Yes, here comes February with all its’ valentine hearts, flowers, chocolates and cupids arrows! No one will deny the rush of pleasure that comes with “falling in love”. We seem to crave that lighter than air feeling, being lifted above the ordinary. However love has much greater scope and dimension than mere romance. Love has unsurpassed range and grandeur! Love used in its purest form is incredibly powerful, capable of transcending all difficulties and truly far reaching and infinite.

Thankfully inside each one of you is an enormous, limitless supply of miracle producing, unconditional, open-hearted love. Unfortunately the truth is that many of us seem to have locked love away through fear of loss or perhaps because of various very personal disappointments of the past. The good news is that love is still there within each one of you, available, vital and ready to go to work in your life.

As a clairvoyant psychic, when I work with clients to clear and activate their chakras, I see that marvelous love energy swirling    in the area of the heart chakra as well as in that area that is sometimes referred to as the “high heart” chakra or thymus chakra. The “high heart” chakra is the energy wheel located between the physical heart and the throat.

The love in those two spinning energy centers may be sluggish or partial dormant but it is still there and fully capable of going to work for you in your life. I suggest you start activating that energy with your mind and thoughts.

If you are a visual person I would ask you to see your love’s energy blooming and shining forth lotus-like in luminous green blending upward into a soft pink. If you prefer to understand the heart chakras as a sound vibration it would be the musical tone “F”.

Acknowledge your vast capability of loving and continue to amplify that energy at the chakra level. When you feel as full of love as you can imagine, how should you use that energy?  Use it by beginning at once to love yourself exactly as you are right now with all your bumps and bruises of personality and seeming imperfections of body.

See your love energy touching every nerve and cell in your physical body. Remember also not to use any critical words against yourself—“if only I had said nothing…” or “I shouldn’t have…” or “I am just so silly and stupid”!

Instead of hurtful thoughts try some self love complements like these —“I do my very best every day,” “I am thankful for all my creative ideas”, and of course: “Wow! I did that just right.” Your body, mind and emotions will thank you for this love bath offered from your heart.

I promise you that your love will come forward with zest each time you are nonjudgmental and compassionate with yourself and others. It shines when you gift a stranger on the street with your smile. Your love blooms when you help a friend who is temporarily lost on his path. Just a beautiful positive thought sent out to someone who is troubled is love in action. No love thought or deed is ever wasted. Be assured the more love you use, the more you will have.

Whatever thought or daydream that you entertain be certain it comes from your heart and your love. There is always time to rationalize or work exclusively from the mental realm but no better time than now to come from a platform of love. Communication never seems to be simple but if you take the extra step to be sure that every word you write or speak comes from your heart, you will always be clearly understood.

Why concern yourself with opening to love? Quite simply because love is life’s most positive and powerful force. Most of you would welcome some sort of change or improvement in your life experiences. So if there is any situation in your life today that causes you unhappiness or distress, try love. Give your personal love and the love you draw from Spirit a chance to prove itself Love will heal any emotional, mental and physical discomfort. Love activates the natural healing ability of anyone who will accept its’ energy.

Perhaps you have been told or read: “Live by the wisdom of Love.” “Speak from the heart.” “Be kind.” “Do no harm.” “Step aside from the negativity of all judgment.” “Hear yourself and others, not with your mind, but with love from your heart.” “Be the radiant energy of pure Love.” “Forgive, forgive, forgive.”

All of these suggestions are good ones, but where are the directions to attain this life lived by Love? How can we open our hearts to that great an extent? Where should we begin? How can we become that pure heart essence and still live and work every day in a sometimes harsh human environment with all its conflicting demands?

If you will begin by putting aside judgment, you will lose all the unnecessary and exhausting dramas of life. In other words, simply allow other people and situations to be as they are without the need to comment or “fix” them.

Through this simple act of allowing, the triggers that might have sent you into conflict will no longer engage you. They will not affect you. Instead, you will be led to use genuine loving communication from your heart. The high Spirit will speak from your heart and soul.

The time to begin any change, large or small, is always now. Today is the day to express love. Today is the day to forgive yourself and others. Today is the day to start with a clean slate and a new more loving heart.

Listening to the unadulterated true spirit of your heart is a life long journey of love exploration. It is a commitment to enormous and fulfilling change. When anyone dares to live by love, beautiful changes are inevitable. New relationships, new careers, creative ideas arrive just for the accepting.

We are here in human form on this earth for the purpose of growth, growth of mind, emotion and spirit. The most direct route to accessing our own potential is the embracing and expressing of our personal love nature. We must open our hearts to our true divine self and the true divine self of others.

Every thought we think, every emotion we feel, every word we speak creates a ripple of energy. When those thoughts, emotions and words issue from pure love we become the light for ourselves, for others and for the planet.

I encourage you today to make a pact with yourself to express as much as you can of your true love nature, your personal heart wisdom, in every situation you encounter. By simply being heart aware, you will know love’s solutions, love’s answers.

Whether you are alone with your thoughts, speaking with friends, working with others or meeting strangers, BE THE LOVE YOU WERE BORN TO BE! I assure you, there is nothing more satisfying than expressing your own heart’s spirit of love and wisdom.

Using your love’s radiant energy will bring great abundance in all its many forms into your life. Love when combined with gratitude will literally magnetize your personal energy to attract every good situation into your life.

If it is a relationship you think, dream or imagine for yourself, it will be there. If it is money or a better home or transportation you envision and intend, those will come.  Just keep loving, never stop and never doubt its’ power.

By using your love moment to moment you will be transformed spiritually and physically enlivened. You will become the best gift this earth could ever want.

I am Reverend Lois Cheney a spiritualist and metaphysical minister, healing channel, psychic/trance medium and intuitive workshop leader. Check out my website: www.Sarasota-Psychic-Medium.com. E-mail me for a private or phone appointment:RevLois@gmail.com or telephone: (941)961-2783.

Those of us who daily feel the reality of our innate spiritual nature most likely are also yearning to fulfill the destiny we chose before we arrived in physical body. Our soul continually seems to push us to discover our unique way of moving through this life. It urges us to develop our special talents to their fullest dimension and share those abilities and our selfless love with the world.

Of all the questions that are asked of me as a psychic counselor some of the most frequent are; “Am I on my spiritual path?” “Is the action I am pursuing keeping me on my life path or am I taking a wrong turn?” “What is my life path?”

If you are a person who desires to “stay on the path” I offer you some ways of determining your course. The first is certainly the easiest and most direct. As you move through your day check in with your emotions. Are you working at something that gives you so much joy that you completely ignore the clock? Time is meaningless? Then most definitely you are on your path fulfilling your purpose.

If on the other hand, you are bored, feeling stuck or lacking any drive or ambition, it is time to take a little personal inventory. When was the last time you felt the joyful exhilaration of something you accomplished? What was the nature of that effort? Could it be built, expanded into some larger and greater work?

Reach as far back in time as you need to but do find something that gave you great satisfaction and purpose. Looking for a situation of your own creation that brought you joyful excitement will open your thinking to which of your many talents needs to be explored and utilized.

If there is some particular activity that has always spoken to you, made you curious, but you were hesitant to try it, do it now. Did you always want to try painting with watercolors? Did you feel you could be helpful in one of the many volunteer opportunities?  Does guitar music call you?

When you daydream what do you see yourself doing? Should you begin taking steps to make that daydream a reality? No matter your age, no matter your education, it is never too late to try something “out of your comfort zone” that sparks your imagination.

I do not exaggerate when I state that everyone reading this article has numerous talents! Not one of you arrived empty handed.

There is a related effort that you can make to bring your life path into focus. It may not make sense to you at first but I suggest you try it.

The truth is that more than one of us are hitting a bit of a brick wall life path wise because we will not forgive and let go. In other words you may still be angry with yourself for missing an opportunity that you feel would have put you in a much more progressive place in your life. You may still resent someone else who caused you distress or economic loss.

When you hold on to a situation of any unhappy distressful kind it places clouds in your thinking. That attitude will hold you back, keep you from seeing and trying your finest ideas. Worse yet lack of forgiveness can manifest itself as physical or even emotional illness.

Let go of memories of any personal “failure”. Anything you ever did or saw was simply a learning experience. Release unhappiness and move into this possibility filled day with renewed zest. Every single day is a new 24 hour opportunity! Do not waste a minute of that gift in regret.

When you are angry with your own actions you hurt yourself. When you are angry with someone else you hurt yourself.

If you feel that you have failed yourself in anyway, forgive! If you feel that someone else has injured you, forgive! You will be amazed at how light and good that forgiveness will feel.

As you seek your personal and very important life path remember that your emotions are a wonderful sensing device. When joy floods your soul, you are on target! When your solar plexus feels like it is filled with lead, do try something different!

Many of us on earth today are experiencing what feels like an acceleration of time. We just become accustomed to one event or appearance when everything changes again. Therefore it is all the more important to be center and grounded in our own lives.

When you can affirm and sense that you are doing what you came here to do, you are centered, you are grounded!

My intention is that you find and enjoy all the blessings of your life. My joy is found in helping others with their life challenges. I am Reverend Lois Cheney, telephone (941) 961-2783, E-Mail: RevLois@gmail.com. , www.Sarasota-Psychic-medium.com.

It is a valuable gift. You receive it every night as you sleep. No exact monetary value can be placed on it. Yet without this gift your mental and emotional stability would suffer. In fact, scientifically we are told that we need our sleeping dreams to recharge and rebalance.

In fact the average person spends one third of their lives sleeping and dreaming. If he or she lives to the age of 75 that is 25 years asleep but subconsciously awake in the world of dreams. Would any of us really want to waste that many years through our own inattention to the information that is offered there?

Since the sights, sounds and emotions that are offered to us as we sleep are a highly valuable commodity, why do we give them so little of our time and notice?

In other civilizations and societies such as those of the Romans, the Greeks and various American Indian tribes, dreams were honored.  Great attention was given to their interpretation. Those who could interpret dreams were honored. Dreams and the messages offered by spirit visitations were recorded in journals for future reference. Nothing was thrown away or disregarded.

Those of you who are familiar with biblical passages will recall numerous instances when dreams were credited with imparting life saving information. Consider the dream that came to Mary and Joseph that caused them to flee with the baby Jesus. Without their attention to that dream would Christianity have come into being?

I will acknowledge that many of the dreams we experience are not the simplest to interpret. They come in metaphors and symbols that seem at first glance far removed from our daily lives. Why take the extra time and effort to make sense of them?

Once you or I are able to open the knowledge of those mystical scenarios we are likely to find wisdom that goes far in smoothing our life paths. Why? Because our personal dream maker has access to information on many levels and many locations that would otherwise escape us.

Some of you may already be doing remote viewing or astral travel as you sleep. You may not be aware of it but still it is a fairly common occurrence.

If you have an interest in something that is quite a distance from home, it is quite possible to send yourself as astral energy to that location. For instance, if there is a friend or relative across the country who is experiencing illness or other difficulty, you might “check in” with your astral body.

Do you realize that before you fall asleep you can request answers from your night dreams to questions on any subject? Not only can you request that service, you can invite healing energies to present their vibrations and suggestions to you as you sleep and dream for your health of mind, body or emotions.

In my workshops when I teach the value and use of “dreamtime” I always suggest that it is important to impress your dream maker with the fact that you are interested, that you will see and listen to those night time presentations. Emphatically announcing your intention to record and interpret your dreams and doing so will bring more vivid, detailed memory and understanding of their content.

If you already value your waking intuitive abilities consider using your night time ones as well. In depth observations concerning your life, your challenges, your talents are waiting to help and advise you in any way that you are willing to accept.

Each one of you has been born with the deep heartfelt desire to fully actuate your chosen life path.  I can help with my 4-part personalized private intuitive development course.

I will gladly answer questions regarding the course or schedule a private counseling session in my Sarasota Florida studio or over the telephone. To schedule an appointment call Reverend Lois Cheney (941)961-2783 or E-mail RevLois@gmail.com.

At this time I am thrilled to announce the implementation of a powerful new addition to my Spirit-channeled healing work. I am pleased to offer this therapy to you.

With this treatment the doorway to healing of mind, body and emotions is opened through chakra cleansing and increased activation of each chakra. Both sound vibration and color immersion are used in this therapy.

The chakras are reenergized and entrained with each other. In other words the energy of each chakra is amplified and harmonized with the energies of the other chakras to flow and connect smoothly for the highest good of the overall health and wellbeing of the client.

This technique has the effect of engaging the individual’s natural healing abilities. Many times, during the process of clearing, certain blockages will arise and reveal their mental or emotional causes. At that time the difficulties can be addressed and intuitively analyzed in conjunction with the overall treatment. The typical session requires a one hour appointment and is strictly private.

Many of my clients report feeling lighter and yet very connected with their world following their treatment. Still others seem to regain their sense of balance or grounding. Always there is a feeling of deep relaxation combined with increased inner awareness.

Some report accessing more confidence in their own ability to follow their heart/soul direction. The overall effect many times is a powerful magnified personal aura which allows the individual greater access to his personal intuitive abilities.

As we prepare to birth the new year, our thoughts may be on the year now past. Perhaps we feel many things could have been better. We see loss in various human arenas…finance, institutions, relationships, and more. We may have regrets over some of our personal actions or inactions, those things we did or failed to do.  We may feel abused, even victimized, by the actions of others.

We need to ask ourselves if we want a rehash of 2009 or if we are willing to make the effort to create situations and events in and around us that are truly new. If we want our new year to be different than this past year, we must begin to think, act and feel differently about ourselves and our experiences.

At this special time of new beginnings I offer some ideas to bring you confidence that the new year will be completely and pleasingly new! First, forget the so called “failures” of the twelve months past. Those losses along with the days that produced them are over. Whip out a sheet of paper and begin to write everything you ever did that was a “win”.

Call your list RIGHT ACTIONS. Documenting your “wins” as a list will be the first step toward your intended new journey. It will imbue you with the knowledge and deep seated belief that you are a successful Spirit filled human.

On your “Right Actions” list write every successful, generous, loving thing you have ever done. For instance, “providing extra food for others to brighten their holidays made me feel good,” Or “I decided to finish the college course which led to my being accepted as a …” Or perhaps, “buying that first little house set me on a good road to identifying winning investments.” Or, “I made a special effort to make my mother comfortable in our final weeks together.”

Whatever you did at any time that brought you a good feeling about yourself, your motives and your abilities write it on your list! The act of writing anything gives it special enlivening energy.

The reason for this exercise is not to encourage living in the past but rather to take you back there long enough to remember those special positive power filled times of yesterday. By reacquainting yourself with your successes of the past you are simply reminding yourself that the power you used then is the power you can elect to use now and in the future.

What name do you give your power? What channel are you tuned to? Do you think of it as the energy of intuition, Spirit, God, I Am that I Am, high self, Light or Love? Whatever name you give to it that power is yours to use in any way you can think, dream or imagine.

By making the “Right Actions” list you will begin to remember many successful ventures for which you may not have given yourself credit. The point of creating the list is for you to visualize and magnify a winning, successful image of you. When you see yourself as a creative winner you will engage more wonderful productive ideas. You will have more success with anything you do.

Did you know that your powerful subconscious will always carry out your orders? Every repetitious thought and emotion you feed to it will be saved, worked with and brought to manifestation. It is a 24-hour-a-day worker. It never becomes tired and it never grows old.

Even more than manifesting your power filled ideas, your subconscious keeps a bank of information that you did not impower. Ask it for some solutions and ideas and it will do the research. Or ask its associate your personal dream maker for answers. You have truly unlimited resources waiting your call.

When you access your own “feel good” emotion you have accessed your personally powerful fuel and igniter fluid for constructive manifestation. You can focus that energy to build the life you have dreamed of. You have always known what you desire and now you have the way to ignite those desires.

By your concentration on your personal successes you are throwing out all your preconceived limits. When you throw out limiting ideas and concepts you are free to engage fully with your personal light filled future.

It is no secret that most of us can tell you what didn’t work in our lives or what isn’t working. Why fritter away our dynamic energy resources on such a wasteful pastime? Let us speak instead of how much we love today and invest our energy here. Let us speak of the bright future that stretches out in front of us. Make our words work for us rather than against us.

Creating a new “new year” for ourselves does not happen by chance. It takes a desire on the part of each one of us to let go of the actions and ideas that did not work and focus on the ones that did!

A particularly good idea at this time of year is to clean house in any way you can. In other words, if you have not used a particular item in the last 12 months, get rid of it. Give it away to someone who could use it. Recycle it! If you are falling over unused possessions and storing some under your bed it is time to make some decisions about where you are using your energy.

The other part of house cleaning is a little different. When a particular personal habit is a stumbling block, it not only has to be removed but it has to be replaced! It is good to remember that anytime you create a vacuum by removing an idea or emotion, you need to replace it with something more positive. Otherwise that hole that is left in your life experience will be filled with the “first available”, in other words, the luck of the draw.

Keep adding to your success list whenever you remember one of your personal winning actions.  Adding to your list will build your confidence. It will impress upon you that you are worthwhile and capable of great deeds. Each one of you has special talents and enormous creativity. Believing in yourself will reveal more of your abilities.

Through this list making exercise you will find other new and sometimes startling inventive ideas floating to the surface. Do not ignore your new ideas. Keep a second list of POSSIBILITIES.

Allow the ideas to approach you as they are without placing immediate judgment on them. In other words, just because a particular idea seems beyond your abilities at the moment, too much like “pie in the sky” write it down anyway. Remember that tomorrow everything can change. What seems impossible today may be exactly the action that will work for you next week.

Do not throw away any of your inspired thoughts. WHEN IN DOUBT…WRITE IT DOWN!

Be aware that some of your best most workable ideas may come to you in dreamtime. Write them down the very minute you wake. Even if you cannot understand the metaphor or unusual language of a dream, write it down. Do not let any of these special inspirations escape into forgetfulness.

Pay attention to your colorful daydreams as well. Daydreams can carry wonderful inspirations that are worthy of your notice. Daydreaming is a way of trying out ideas and seeing the probable results. Let no idea wither for lack of your investigation.

The importance of written lists is that we are able to see things in a more concrete form. When ideas are standing side by side on paper we can evaluate much more directly. Clarity of thought is more likely.

Make this new year of yours shine with the ultimate in newness. Make it your best new year yet.

It was just two weeks ago this coming Sunday through an unexpected invitation I found myself teaching one of my favorite workshops on the east coast of Florida. That workshop that I offer from time to time is my introduction to extra sensory development, just a taste of the way or path to psychic development.

As usual I brought boxes of “tools” with me that I use to keep the focus of attendees. I set up my easel and flip chart. All was going according to plan as we worked our way through the exercises both mental and physical. I spoke of my own early and sometimes laughable experiences with spirits and apparitions.

Then something unusual happened. I flipped to the next illustration on the chart. It was a simple outline of a heart. In the center of the heart in rose colored crayon was the word JOY. One woman jumped up from her chair and said “I like that!

I do love effusive people. Her energy was a real boost to most everyone. Hers was certainly a positive exclamation but not the end of the reactions to the drawing of the heart and “Joy” from the rest of the class.

No one else commented aloud regarding the particular drawing but it was the varied energies the others were emitting that surprised me. There were a few nods of agreement and then…

With some of the students there seemed to be a distrust of the word itself as if it contained some sort of threat perhaps could not be accepted or counted on to be positive. One of the participants actually recoiled as if in fear. Is it possible that someone could be afraid of going beyond being surface happy, of accessing joy in depth? If that were so what could be the reason?

To figure out this puzzle I began considering where joy comes from, where it originates. Certainly joy is more than mere pleasure. It has a depth beyond pleasure. The deep upwelling emotion of joy resonates throughout the body and mind. I dare          say true joy is a soul promoted emotion.

Perhaps it comes and goes quickly or only occasionally as we move through our lives. But to truly live joy each day every day one would have to have a deep sense of gratitude not only for his own life but for every person and situation in his life.

How could that thankfulness or gratitude be brought forward? Can we create it at will?

It is certain that life is full of changes and surprises, some pleasant, some not so pleasant. Could it be that you and I are capable of making a conscious decision to be thankful for all our varied situations, people and events? Could we suspend ego-led judgment long enough to be thankful for all our experiences whether filled with tears or laughter? And if we stuck by that mental decision to be grateful in all things could we perhaps invite more joy into our hearts and lives?

At that point in my analyzing I began to realize that Joy and Unconditional Love were inseparable. They are two halves of one thing. If Joy were accessed one would have to be at least at that moment in a state of loving and accepting everything and everyone just as they are. That state of being in unconditional love and acceptance might be all too brief but it would seem that it naturally coexists at the moment when Joy is flooding the heart.

To go a step further is it possible then that the only healing tool we would ever need is found in being unconditionally loving and accepting of ourselves and others? Could love filled joy be the one medicine that would take away any of our distress or disease?

That idea brought me right back to the person in my class that appeared to be literally afraid of Joy. Now I know from experience that some people will cling to their illnesses because that particular disease or condition is providing some sort of benefit in their lives.

The discomfort may be giving them the attention they crave from another person. Holding on to that distress may be their reason for not attempting some task that they do not want to pursue. Whatever the reason for not accepting their own healing, they continuing to hold on to that ailment because it provides what they, on some level of consciousness, believe is necessary in their lives.

Following that reasoning, if Joy were to be a part of their daily living, the disease that has been their rock, their saving grace, their focal point might be taken away. Loosing that kind of stability, however questionable the logic, would certainly be reason enough to fear the dynamic healing arrival of Joy coupled with the unconditional love of self and others.

There is of course another possibility. Perhaps the real fear is that the beautiful flooding of Joy into and from the heart is all too temporary. Perhaps the fear is that when that Joy is not present or seems inaccessible the emotions and stability will go into free fall.

From time to time we all suffer through the ups and downs of emotion but we do not live in fear of a total downward spiral just because life does not conform to our idea of perfect. Most of us have learned the real benefits of keep our “sunny side up”. Good thoughts, good emotions, bring good results.

My response to the thought that Joy is too temporary is to suggest that each of us begin at once to carve a reliable path to Joy. I suggest we find a way to access or create Joy in our lives. For instance, we all need the feeling and knowledge that our lives are supported by Spirit. Because that is true let us begin to reassure ourselves daily that we are made of the divine Light and Love of Spirit. Reinforce our own worthiness throughout the day.

Cause yourself to become aware, to feel that Light and Love lifting you, guiding you from one moment to the next. Remind yourself daily that you are Light, you are Love. Do this and thankfulness, love and all pervasive Joy will become your way of life.

The original question I asked myself was “Is Joy your birthright?” I can now say I believe that it is but like any gift or talent or ability Joy has to be accepted, appreciated and above all used. Joy is that state of expanding love and acceptance. Accessing the Joy that is naturally yours will change your life and the lives of all those whom you touch.

My personal joy is found in helping others to fully actuate their lives. My pleasure comes from seeing my clients successfully pursue the life path of their design. If I can help you with any life questions or directions call or e-mail me, Reverend Lois Cheney for your private clairvoyant reading.

I now offer individually designed and personalized one-on-one intuitive development lessons. All work is completely confidential and you will have a cassette recording of your counseling session for your later review.

My daughter came to me the other day to report that her pendulum was not working! I asked her what she meant. She said she had asked it whether she should keep her current job or look for another one. I admit I had to laugh.

“Dear daughter, you didn’t ask one question you asked two. Your pendulum couldn’t give you a yes or no answer.” She knows whenever we use a pendulum we must ask very specific questions to get very specific answers.

I could have gone further with my questions to her. I wanted to ask her what sort of mood and energy she was working with when she used the pendulum. I decided I had asked quite enough for a mere mother.

Here is what would have worked for her: “Should I keep my current job for the remainder of this year to gain the best experience in my field of work?” Or possibly this: “Is there a job available locally in my field at this time for which I am qualified that would pay me an extra $50 per week? How about: “Have I received all the promotions at this company that the employers are willing to give to me within the next six months?”

Each of the above alternative questions could be answered with a definite yes or no. Any one of them would have provided at least part of the information she desired.

Pendulums when correctly used to dowse for information are great tools. There are a few caveats however. First it is important that you are personally balanced and grounded before using the pendulum. There are numerous personal clearing and grounding techniques that work well and take only moments to use.

For clearing and grounding I like to imagine that I am pulling some of the beautiful golden energy of the central sun of our cosmos through my crown chakra. I allow that energy to spread throughout my physical body including all the nerves, cells and muscles. I then send that energy into the very center of the earth to be cleaned or recycled. I pull the renewed energy back up through my body once more.
If I still feel less than grounded or a little scattered, I am inclined to repeat the exercise for a total of three times. Assuming that you are grounded, cleared and balanced, your personality and ego opinions will be safely out of the way! The road will be clear for the arrival of Truth.

Second it is advisable to ask whether the current moment is appropriate for gaining the information you seek. The timing may or may not be right. The energies around the subject may be such that the information would not be accurate.

Third, if you are going to offer information to another person on their behalf, it is also good to ask whether you should! It is not always for someone’s higher good.

Fourth, ask for the highest and best source energy to guide your pendulum. That energy that you believe to be the most pure, positive and reliable whether you call it the White Light, the Cosmic I AM or God or identify it by some other name.

Following the above steps will assure you of the best results. You are then ready to ask that very definite and specific question!

Have fun with your pendulum. Use it often. When the steps for getting prepared become second nature to you, your pendulum or any other dowsing or divining device you use will work even better.

Your life path decisions are very important. When answers are difficult to find call me, Reverend Lois Cheney, for your personal, completely confidential, clairvoyant reading. I will counsel with you in my Sarasota, Florida studio or by telephone. All readings are preserved on a cassette tape for your later review.

I channel the most accurate information available from your own guides, masters and teachers. I am also able to bring spirit messages from your departed loved ones. If past life experiences are important to your current situations, they can be explored as well.
