We all make plans from time to time. Sometimes we get so intense that you might say we not only plan but we plot! But you and I know the Universe occasionally steps in and initiates something quite different, a left turn as it were.

My story begins about two months ago. I was planning and looking forward to a second visit to a large city on the east coast of Florida. The first time I served one of the metaphysical centers there, the minister had provided lodging in her own home. This time, while serving that same center, I was invited to stay with a new acquaintance in a separate suite of her condominium.

As usual with these trips I was completely prepared with two workshops, a lecture and a meditation. In addition I was offering private psychic counseling. On the surface it was much the same as any of my working trips.

About three weeks before I was scheduled, things starting going a bit odd. First the center’s website balked and refused to allow access. That was a bit scary to me because my income depended on those people on the center’s e-mail list knowing I was on my way, understanding what I would teach and the times of the lectures.

When the website finally opened up, the dates and times were wrong. One of my workshops was totally deleted. I was concerned but on the other hand my last visit had been so perfect, I assumed everything would straighten out in time! Plus I had learned one special attitude from a friend of mine. It always fixed any negative attitude I might be prone to use. On occasions like this I just said: “Oh, well!”

Then another glitch! The advertisement that was to appear in the local new age magazine had the wrong date and didn’t mention my other workshop. Oh, oh! This called for phrases one and two: “Oh, well… So what!”

Upon arrival at the metaphysical center it was obvious that nothing was going to happen according to plan. Now it was time for: “Oh, well…So what…Next time!” Oddly enough I felt really upbeat, not at all concerned. As it turns out there was an excellent reason for my optimism.

I was only in the city a day or so when, thanks to my new friend, I was called on to spiritually clear and clean a gorgeous bay side home of over 20,000 square feet. It was the first time I had worked with a living space of that size and I welcomed the opportunity. My new friend came with me and helped carry all my psychic “tools”.

I divided the huge house into sections for the clearing and subsequent replacing with the appropriate energy. There were three different levels to the home and so many hallways. To be certain that it was as clean as it should be, I allowed myself two days for the intense work.

The remainder of the week I was busy doing counseling sessions and chakra clearings for several friends of the home’s owners. Believe me when I say I never gave a second thought to the week that didn’t turn out “right”.

Thank you, thank you, thank you to the Universe, Cosmos, Spirit, One Source, I Am that I Am.

Using the past as a benchmark for your creation of today’s situations and the future is using a flawed yardstick! If your memories of your yesterdays are glowing and positive that is fine but all too often negative memories of the past can cause somewhat irrational reactions in the now.

If your memories of past situations are causing you to react in ways that are uncomfortable or even harmful to you, to those around you and to your current life experiences, it is time to take action.

I am not suggesting that you forget the past or bury it. What I am offering you may seem a bit unusual at first glance but it does work. I am suggesting that you make some subtle but important changes in the way you remember certain troubling aspects from the past.

It is not at all unusual for us to take a past trauma and rehearse it over and over again. We make the memory strong, harsher and more energized until it is vastly different than the original happening. Hashing and rehashing an unhappy past will not create anything positive.

The method I am going to detail for you will not affect anyone in those memories but it can be a world of help to you. For instance, if you have endured emotional or physical abuse in any relationship begin right now to see yourself responding in a different way.

If someone has lowered or crushed your self esteem with heavy words, see yourself saying something mild and just walking away head held high. “I understand your feelings. I am sorry you feel that way.” Then in your imagination you leave the room and let the words roll off. This takes some memory practice but you can do it. Every time the memory comes to your mind practice it in its new form.

If the suffered abuse was a physical one, construct with your imagination a scenario where a concerned and loving person arrives to intercede on your behalf, someone who takes you out of harm’s way. This memory adjustment will not take hold immediately but eventually with your repetition it will replace the original version. Your harsh emotions will soften and subside. The change will free you to trust life more fully.

The tremendous benefit of restructuring memories of the hurtful past is that you can stop the patterns! You do not need to project that “hurt me” energy over and over again. You can stop manifesting similar situations today and tomorrow.

Once you have pulled the plug on the negative aspects of memories you are back in control. You can create the kind of future you truly want. Remember that the past only exists for you as a series of memories. Because this is so, it only makes sense to put as much peace and joyous living into those memories as your imagination will allow.

On a slightly different aspect of the same principle, anytime today you encounter a happening that is not to your liking, a seeming negative, you have a wonderful choice. Why do you have a choice? Because you are the one in charge of labeling and categorizing any situation you find confronting you.

I remember my first time of taking shorthand notes some years ago. I was working for the director of an Illinois research facility. It was a meeting of the 12 department heads and I was writing as fast as I could to keep up with all the input.

After the meeting, when I was busy typing my notes, the director called me to his office. He said, “Now we will decide what happened at the meeting.” In other words he was using the opportunity to label and categorize the results according to his point of view.

Decide to put some sincere thought into how you label things. In other words if nothing comes together the way you had planned, decide to think that this is an opportunity to find a better plan. Label it, “Opportunity Calling” or just tell yourself that this presents an excellent chance to practice that patience skill you have been wanting.

There is no occurrence that can resist your positive identifying spin no matter how dark it may seem on first look. Deciding that every negative is hiding a good opportunity is the best thing you can do for yourself. It opens your mind to unconsidered or previously ignored chances to learn and grow.

Every one of us have had tragedy touch our lives at some time Let me describe to you how I dealt with one of my own most difficult times.

It was ten years ago this past January. My husband Jim and I had been married for 19 years. We taught classes together. He had his own hypnosis clients. My Jim was recovering nicely from an extensive heart surgery two or three months previously. By all appearances he was as well as I had ever seen him. Then with no warning one sunny Arkansas day he shot and killed himself.

I was presented with a huge choice. Of course I mourned. The choice was whether I should also blame myself. Should I feel guilty that somehow I should have seen his mental/emotional state? Should I have known he needed help? Should I have anticipated the tragedy? Was I obliged to shoulder a heavy load of guilt?

This was my decision and no one else could make it for me. I deliberately elected to tell myself that he had my best interests at heart. I felt that because of his age he was most likely concerned that his health would continue to decline and that decline would make him a burden to me. He loved me enough to not allow that to happen.

Was my view of the situation and its cause pure rationalization on my part? Perhaps, but that attitude allowed me to move forward in a life affirming way. That concept freed me from what could have been years of self recrimination and stagnation.

Whatever “the truth” may have been at the time, I believe that he made a loving sacrifice which has allowed me to give myself fully to the work I am meant to do.

I have no doubt that many of you have moved through equally difficult situations. From my clients, I hear all sorts of problems and traumas that they encountered as children and later as adults in relationships.

The truth is that as long as we continue to rehearse the fears, doubts and worries from the past, we will continue to meet similar troubling situations in the present and the future.

A little time invested in giving those troublesome memories a more positive spin is worth the effort involved. There is no reason to let a heavily charged negative memory ruin your life today.

You want to act within each new situation in a positively appropriate new way. What you do not need or want is to react from the past, from a negative memory trigger which spoils the now moment.

The highest good you can extract from the past is the wisdom you have gained—the knowledge and understanding that has brought you to this moment.

Why improve your hurtful memories? Because general we do exactly the opposite. We amplify the hurts beyond all reason and certainly beyond the truth of the past. This amplification through the continual focus of our energy brings most unwelcome results.

You deserve the very best, happiest, most productive life. You can have exactly that. You are strong, powerful, capable and talented. I believe in your right and ability to choose.

(Try this affirmation when your self confidence could use a little extra lift!)

“With full intent and total commitment, I now affirm that I have the right, the power and the ability to create a more positive flow in my own life.

Because this is true, I now call on the creative force within me. I focus this divine spark to magnetize my many energy bodies to draw to me now:

*Those Particular People,
*Perfect Places,
*Receptive Circumstances
*and Dynamic Creative Ideas

that thrust me forward into the fulfillment of the divine plan for my life today.”

I wish you every success in your life path. If I can help you in any way to answer your life challenges call for your private appointment.

The same old Spirit? Yes and no. The same Spirit but seemingly completely new when viewed through the eyes of over 100 windows of sparkling Light.

Those windows of Light I am referencing were the fantastic souls in attendance at the 24th Dowsing and Healing Conference held for five days at the end of April in Fayetteville Arkansas. It has taken me two weeks to really digest all of the inspiration I received there.

It never fails to amaze me that after 30 some years of teaching, lecturing and counseling I always find a new thought and a new way. Even one of my “usual workshops” takes on a new energy and direction as I lecture to different groups.

What surprised me the most at the convention was to find an extraordinary number of my personal soul group among the attendees. It makes me wonder: How far ahead of time did we collaborate in the silence to make this meeting happen?

I am extraordinarily grateful to the Ozark Research Institute founders, Gladys and Harold McCoy, and their many helpers for the year long effort it requires to sponsor the convention.

On the surface each presenter at the convention came from a completely different point of view. The truth is they were all simply pointing their own unique way of accessing the Light of Spirit and soul path for which we continually yearn.

Individual channeling of Spirit energy was the thrust of every presentation. Regardless of whether the class concerned the “72 Names of God”, “Spoon Bending”, “Treasure Mapping”, “Dreams”, “Energetic Healing” or “Life Path”, the focus remained on accessing and using Spirit-Soul guidance and energy.

I am grateful for every client who sought my private counseling while I was in Fayetteville. I feel blessed to be allowed to help each of them. Every reading I offer amplifies my own abilities to uplift and enlighten others.

It is always amazing to me how many roads there are to the same destination— creation of the soul’s learning and progress! I think at this particular time in earth’s evolution we are all feeling a greater pressure to actuate our lives to the fullest. Our overriding desire is to fully encompass our Spirit in this human body. We want to know with certainty that we are doing the work we came here to do.

Every “clue” that we can gather to point us in the direction of our greatest life fulfillment is valuable. We are each endowed with an abundance of personal talent and creativity. It is up to each of us to bring our uniqueness forward in a way that will bless not only ourselves and the people we touch but our living earth as well.

Where does your personal road lead? Are you here to work with the plant or animal kingdom? Did you come to teach other Light Bearers through your personal gifts and understanding? Is offering peace and non-judgment your path? What is your unique way to bring the Light of Spirit, the I Am Presence to the earth and her people at this time?

I am here in my Florida studio to help you with any of your life challenges. I offer you a confidential reading appointment in my Florida counseling room or by telephone. In either case, I will give you a tape recording of your session for your later review in the privacy of your home.

It is my joy to help by channeling the guidance of your personal guides and masters. The messages of recurring dreams can be deciphered for you. In addition, I am able to bring you information from your loved ones in spirit if you desire.

I talk to myself a lot these days. It seems to be my way of figuring things out. I feel the need to analyze my actions and my motives. So when I noticed a personal peculiarity the other day, I had to understand it.

You see I spend a lot of time at the beach. I am usually there twice a day weather permitting. I love the early morning walk in the damp sand. I particularly enjoy the sunsets. If I have time I will enjoy a quick swim.

Many times I will just stand with my feet and ankles in the water doing a visualization exercise. I imagine and intend that I am releasing into the Gulf of Mexico any attitude, idea or emotion that no longer serves me. I see those concepts and feelings being “recycled” and brought back to my body as clean fresh energy.

Being near the water or in it always brings me a sense of peace and expansiveness. I feel part of the large scheme of life. I simply feel more capable of anything I might need to accomplish.

So what is this about shoes? I like to walk barefoot in the sand. I sense the closeness with Spirit, with Soul. The odd thing is that as soon as I walk away from those sandals I begin to worry that I will lose them. You have to understand they are only cheap plastic. It certainly is not the expense. So what is this fear about?

I always try to put the shoes where I will remember and can see them easily. Yet I worry. I think perhaps I should put some red ribbons on the toes of the shoes but I don’t. Maybe I ought to bring a bright colored towel to lay the sandals on but I don’t.

What is this rather unreasonable fear? If I lost them the worst that could happen is I would drive the half mile home barefoot. Could the shoes somehow represent my ability to move forward? Am I concerned that I may not be able to “keep pace” with my plans and ambitions?

Even further could I be afraid metaphorically of “losing my balance” with all the projects that are active in my life now. In my eagerness to do it all could I be worried about stumbling over my own feet? Could the shoes represent my need for stability?

I have not reached any mind blowing conclusion. I am just trying to keep my sense of humor in all this cogitating. After all it is said that those people born under a Pisces sign (which I am) either have impossibly big hands and feet or small ones. In that lottery I drew long feet that are difficult to fit. Perhaps I just dread having to go shopping again!

One thing remains true. Our outward actions as well as our emotions will tell us how we view our lives. They will clearly point out our belief or lack of belief in our own abilities. Emotions can be enormously helpful in showing us where we need to do some personal work or restructuring of our self judgments.

Each one of us arrived on this earth with special abilities, talents and innate desires for their fulfillment. In further developing what you already possess, you will access the passion and joy that come from following your personal life path.

Allow yourself a mistake or two. Do it better the next time! Praise yourself when you get it right. Be grateful for every breakthrough large or small. You are special, important and valuable. By your example you are a gift to this earth and all her people.

I am Reverend Lois Cheney. My joy is in helping my clients access their highest potential through channeled counseling and teaching. If you would like, I will be happy to assist you with answers to any of your life questions and challenges.

I will schedule an appointment for you in my studio in Florida or by telephone. In either case you will receive a cassette recording of your reading for your later review.

Before you arrived here on earth the soul that you are made plans. You decided on your appearance, your personality, your goals, your lessons and overall purpose. Then you were born and BOOM!…you forgot all the details.

So began the process of finding your way to your life path. Many times that road to remembering your direction was painful. You grew up filled with other people’s ideas about how you should behave and what you should do. You struggled between wanting to please others and pleasing yourself.

The survival necessity of being part of a family or a group as you grew may have left you struggling for your own individuality. That can be a struggle merely because your personal uniqueness always demands expression.

Now you are a grownup and every day seems more precious than the last. You do not want to waste even one of these days. Your hearts are full of searching for your highest and best endeavors. With Spirit calling to you and guiding you, the need to be your authentic self has become the number one priority.

I remember in one of the Carlos Castaneda books Don Juan tells Castaneda, “you must lose your personal history.” I understand that more today than ever. You simply cannot be who you were yesterday nor can you be who others have decided you are. You have to be who you are this minute, this day.

Yes your experiences of the past have brought you to today but those experiences are not you, they are simply the catalysts to that you that you are now.

Without a doubt your nearest and dearest friends and family have put each of you in a frame or box. They have decided who you are and assigned various labels. They do this for their own comfort. I am not saying that they are doing anything wrong but problems arise between you when they realize their ideas are no longer the way you really are, they may feel upset or even betrayed.

In more extreme cases, merely by being who you are today can cause loss of various relationships. Your closest friends may not be able to accept your new values.

The good news is that as you access your personal wisdom and begin living your truth, you will attract new and more suitable life affirming relationships. Being able to let go and embrace change is paramount to a successful life.

When you are on the life path that is uniquely yours, you are one with the values and goals of your soul. You are in a state of soul resonance. How can you tell if you are following your own intended path?

Fortunately, you have an accurate indicator to tell you if your choices are originating from soul direction powered with heart wisdom. When your chosen way and activities lead you into a space of no-time, the hours pass by without notice and fill you with the feeling that you could work that way forever, you have found it. YOU ARE IN THAT MARVELOUS STATE OF SOUL RESONANCE.

The sense of deep fulfillment will always accompany a soul decision. When you make a soul decision no matter what challenges arise it will seem as if any impediment is simply one more step to achieving the goal.

The important thing is to keep your fledgling ideas close to you until they are completely formed and ready to fly. It is all too easy in your enthusiasm to share your new plans before they are ready. Input from friends, family or fellow workers can crush your drive to succeed and sidetrack your desires.

There can be resentment or even unconscious jealousy when acquaintances see you change and begin to move forward. It takes courage to stick with your beliefs in the face of nay-sayers. When you feel in your heart that what you are doing is right for you, stay firm, don’t waver.

As I was growing up, it didn’t take me long to realize that completely pleasing my mother was not going to happen. Not that I ever quit trying. I remember one Easter when as a grownup I was doing a solo in the church program. I invited my mother and my new step father to come and enjoy.

Afterwards I asked mother how she liked the overall program. Her response? “You hit a few good notes”. No, I still have not forgotten, but fortunately by that time in my life I was immune to her inability to give any appreciation or complement! The important thing for me was that I knew I had enjoyed and loved my work with the group. I also knew I had given my very best because I could feel my heart singing with me.

No matter what your are doing when your heart sings, go with it! That is your heaven on earth. Do not let anyone or anything stop you from giving your best. You have found your most personal and unique way of expressing. This is your personal “road less traveled”. It belongs to you.

Your creativity, your gifts are inspired. Shine the light that you are. You are valuable and important for the contributions you will make to this earth and her people.

Today, perhaps more than ever, we all have questions about our personal progress and the changes that we see happening around us. If you will allow me, I would be pleased to bring answers to you from your guides and teachers.

Call today for your personal life path reading. I encourage you to bring all your questions so that I can channel the highest and best Spirit-led information for you. When you call be sure to ask about my private four-part intuitive development instruction that I offer to suit your own unique needs and desires.

Call Reverend Lois Cheney (941)961-2783 or E-Mail RevLois@gmail.com. Your personal, private counseling session can be in my Florida studio or over the telephone. Either way I will give you a cassette recording of our time together for your later review. I am your Sarasota Psychic.
