This is information I downloaded from my Spirit Guide team last night and it’s so important and powerful. This blog might very well be the most important thing you ready today. It’s a principle I don’t even hear people talking about, but it’s something we all need to hear about! If you don’t have consciousness of something, you can’t keep it. You’ll lose it. Guaranteed.

• Take the electrician who won the lottery, going from $40K a year to multimillionaire! He quit his job and spent his money, now he’s broke. We’ve heard this story over and over again—people who win the lottery can rarely ever hold onto it for long.
• Take the business woman who went from 6 to 7 figures too quickly. Sure, she’s powerful enough to make it happen, but she quickly realizes that she can’t keep it up and that level of income generation just isn’t scalable.
• Take the 300 lb man who busts his ass in the gym, loses 130 lbs, and almost immediately gains it all back (and then some). He feels like the hottest thing ever when he finally reaches his goal, but he quickly returns to his older lifestyle.

What do these three scenarios have in common? It’s consciousness. There’s a reason why we live long lives here at the Earth School. It really does take time to change ourselves at the level of our physical state of being.

Many people say that time is only an illusion and that we have access to infinite possibilities now—I agree, but without the level of consciousness, you just can’t hold onto it for long. Slow and steady is really the key. Whatever the shifts we desire are, we can make them happen, but they will simply shift back until we’re able to hold onto the new energy.

This is why we know it’s more practical to smoke one less cigarette every day to quick smoking. To start working out for just 20-30 minutes once a week and build up on to our goals. To pay a little extra on our credit cards every month rather than going crazy to have a zero balance. Without developing consciousness, you’re gonna start smoking again. You’re gonna rebound on your diet and fitness goals. You’re gonna rack those credit cards back up.

Doing new stuff (aka taking action) is NOT the magic pill a lot of people suggest it is. The secret is slowly changing your state of being and repatterning yourself so you can hold the energy of your desires. Taking action is a common neglected part of the problem (aka, not going to the gym or changing your diet when your goal is weight loss), but it’s only a small part of the solution.

If you’re unhappy with where you are in your life, perhaps you can book a session with me and we can figure out energetic issues and clear them together. This is really helpful for clearing mental and emotional issues that create interference. Regardless of what you choose, the real effort involves changing your state of being, upgrading your level of consciousness so you can hold the vibration of what you want at the level of your subconscious.

Now I want to hear from you. Have you experienced that downfall? Where you worked really hard for something, achieved it, and then returned to your old state of being?

As a Face Reader, I have to be vary careful about what pictures I choose. The reason is because faces change a lot overtime. Just taking a peak at Marie’s about page, there are 6 of them and they’re all very different! The most accurate choice is always going to the most recent one, which is from her appearance on Oprah’s Super Soul Sunday.

I also wanted to premise this blog post with my perspective regarding ethics. While there are many different face reading systems in the world, I really do share the belief that nothing is wrong with us! 

When we read faces, the very first thing we look at is symmetry. The right side of the face represents how we express ourselves to the rest of the world. The left side of the face is how we express ourselves privately at home. Marie is very symmetric. Aside from a few minor asymmetries, the way she interacts publicly is the same way she interacts privately.

Marie on Super Soul Sunday

• Let’s start with her mental development, which is shown in Marie’s forehead. It shows a visionary who sees possibilities in everything. This is a very imaginative thinker who is friendly with around everybody she interacts with. She’s also flexible, spontaneous, open to new ideas, and resourceful.
• Next is her thinking style. Marie has a mix of curved and straight eyebrows. My interpretation is that she first likes to gather the facts, come up with ideas, and get an understanding of the objective sides of reality (likes logic, technical details, etc)—once that information is processed, she engages the more subjective side, diving into how it makes her feel. It’s interesting to see her and Oprah’s contrast, because they are very similar in a lot of ways. One keen difference is that Marie is very mentally quick. She takes action right way and has a great sense of humor and wit.
• Next is how she views the world. She is absolutely a big picture thinker. She’s open minded, romantic, and imaginative. She’s also very realistic, objective, fair, and balanced. She’s resilient and not easily discouraged. Her eyes reveal quite a bit about how she looks at the world. Similar to Miss Oprah (to the right), Marie has a VERY straight lower eyelid curve. This tells me that Marie is especially gifted at recognizing who is going to waste her time. For those who watch MarieTV every week, you can rest assured that the people she chooses to engage with or interview are carefully screened through this beautiful gift of the soul.
  
• Can I talk about wrinkles for a second? I honestly believe that wrinkles are God’s makeup. WE EARN THOSE! If you look very carefully, you’ll see some wrinkles in the corner of her eyes and under her eyes. They are a tiny bit Photoshopped and covered with concealer, but this is one of the most important parts of her face. Subconsciously, we recognize qualities by badges of honor, so I really wanted to point out the beautiful qualities that go along with it (at least in Marie’s case). These wrinkles show soul level gifts in regards to seeing the big picture. It shows that she “goes with the flow” and is able to have a broader perspective in her life purpose and role in this world. Most importantly, it shows that she has no problem reaching out to others because she understands the fundamental relationship between all things is deeply spiritual and that we are all one. The lines under her eyes show that she finds a lesson in everything she does. This shows the gift of a spiritual teacher who is here to uplift others and is dedicated to seeking and sharing wisdom. If you have these qualities, take pride in your wrinkles, you worked hard for them!
• The Leadership Nose. By the way, noses show money, career, trust, and energy. Marie’s long and straight nose shows somebody who is strategic, who loves to discover new ideas, and wants her projects to be both unique and meaningful. She wants to get the job done, but needs time to carefully plan it out so it’s in alignment with her quality standards (which are also very high). Her thin nose padding shows an independent, self sufficient person who holds herself very accountable for the work she does. The downward nose tip angle shows someone who is naturally skeptical around “get rich schemes” and fast tracks systems. Speaking of money, her nostrils (based on other photos) show her as being emotionally generous and financially conservative.
• Such Power In Those Cheeks! Marie’s prominent, wide cheeks, show tremendous endurance and a great sense of personal power. We’re talking about a quality that never quits and has long term energy—with a positive attitude to boot. She probably can wear people out with her high energy! Those high cheek bones show very high values and somebody who always does the right thing no matter what. The lines and dimples on her cheeks show someone who is respected, admired, charming, and  is able to feel more powerful by helping other people. Tip for Marie and anybody with this quality—don’t botox that beautiful gift away!
• How She Expresses Herself. Marie’s mouth shows a confident, expressive, friendly, and outgoing person who is born for television or radio—just take a look at any TV personality, they all have that wide, full mouth. Marie’s large chin shows someone who is assertive, competitive, and perseveres against all odds. She’s a survivor.

And that’s about it for Marie! I’d love to know your thoughts. What did you think of this interpretation? Do you see any of Marie’s qualities within yourself? Did it make you think of your face differently? Leave a comment below!

When you finally get this important spiritual principle, you start to ask yourself why things show up in your experience and what inside you you’re seeing in other people. Take this gorgeous guy I know. He is constantly working out, lifting weights, and pushing his physicality to its limits. I found myself the other day thinking to myself “What is he trying to prove?”—then I caught myself—I need to get my skinny ass into the gym. I was clearly seeing in him what I was noticing I was lacking in myself.

I’m starting to see this everywhere I go and I humbly point it out anytime I see it with friends, family, or colleagues. Of course, I’m also seeing this in myself, but it’s SO EASY to see in other people. I think that’s because our egos naturally blind us from seeing things within ourselves in order to protect us. Another example is a friend of mine. She’s a little overboard in her hatred to this woman in her life. She is constantly telling me how this woman is constantly taking from other people. My friend has made it her mission in life to “prove” to everyone how horrible this woman is. The funny thing is that they are exactly the same people. The  look alike, their behavior is a lot alike, and like this woman—she also is constantly taking from others and not giving back anything in return.

What I have discovered is that there is a reason why people show up in our lives. They not only share karma with us, they are also here to teach us about ourselves in order to help us learn, grow, and expand. So next time you find yourself judging someone else or complaining about other people’s behavior, remember that they are a reflection of you. Sometimes that reflection can be quite literal and sometimes it’s subtle—but if you can learn to pay attention to your reactions, you’ll discover so much about yourself.

So here’s my question for you: is there someone in your life that you cannot stand? Can you see how that person reflects qualities you may not like about yourself? Leave a comment below!

The post I see in YOU what I refuse to see in ME! appeared first on AJ McClary.

I remember going over to my friend Farah’s house for a little get-together and I brought my Angel cards with me. Side note—I haven’t used Angel cards in a very long time, but I was just getting into Cartomancy, which is a form of divination that involves the synchronicity of cards and associating them with spreads. The number 333 kept showing up in the spread and Farah was telling me how she sees that number everywhere. Her alarm clock was going off at 3:33 and her Costco receipt was $333. She asked me what that meant and we just naturally moved into a mediumship session. The vibration was perfect for mediumship and the information flowed the entire night.

Since then, I’ve had several mediumship experiences. Granted, it’s usually when I have a few friends over and they ask “AJ, can I have a reading?” and I say “No, I really only reserve psychic work for when it’s on my schedule”—and of course Spirit ends up coming through anyways because everyone in the room was setting the intention to get a reading from me.

What I’ve discovered recently is that mediums work best when there is an audience. If there are 4-5 people in the room who all support the intention of communicating with a loved one, Spirit figures out a way to get through. They pick up on all of that energy and use it to come down to our level more.

Here are a few signs you can look out for if you think you might be a medium:

1. When you’ve got an audience, you may find yourself with the overwhelming urge to share things that are popping in your head. This is how it happens for me. 
2. You may begin to see Spirit in your mind’s eye. This is what happened to me. As soon as a see a figure show up in my head, I know there are loved ones with messages from the other side.
3. You might even be waking up in the middle of the night from nightmares because mediums are prone to picking up on the Astral. You want to practice some Spiritual Protection if this happens to you.

There is a saying in the psychic community nowadays “Not all psychics are mediums, not all mediums are psychic”. I personally don’t agree with that. I know plenty of mediums who are terrible at picking up psychic information but are great at spirit communication. From my experience, it all comes down to your vibrational state.

I don’t actually do mediumship readings professionally because it really is one of those skill sets that take a while to grow and perfect.

Here is my question for today’s blog: Do you think you’re a medium? Have any of the above happened to you in your life? Leave a comment!

Immediately, this conversation went into the direction of inner authority. What if your Spirit Guide WAS mad at you? So what? What would that entail? How would your life be? More importantly, what is showing up in your life to make you think that? My guess is that people who ask this question are not experiencing the spiritual advancement, manifestation, and abundance they deserve—but our Guides are not the ones who are responsible for any of those things!

The real story here comes down to people making their Guides the authority over their lives. Sure, they are here for our spiritual evolution, but they hold a place of non-judgement. We’re here to help them evolve just as much as they’re here to help us. They’re not like parents, who often say “I’m not mad, I’m just disappointed”—no, they support you in your intentions, and everything that shows up in your life is a reflection of our intent.

Here Are 3 Spirit Guide Facts

1. Spirit Guides have incarnated before. They are souls just as we are and aren’t much different than us. They are not our masters. 
2. Spirit Guides are not “more evolved”. Well, they might be an inch or two more evolved than us, but they are not ascendent masters or enlightened. They’re just a tiny bit farther along than us.
3. Spirit Guides are not here to tell us what to do. Seriously, this is a big one. It’s a question I get asked often: “What do my Guides want me to do?” They want you to do whatever you want to do.

This incarnation is about you, not your Spirit Guides. They are here as an excellent resource, they can teach us a lot, and they can help us when it’s difficult for us to help ourselves—but they’re not “mad”.

If you study astrology, you know that the date time and place of birth map out the blueprints for your life. As you progress through life, the planetary arrangements change, but they are still influenced greatly by the planetary arrangement at birth. There are a number of astrological markers you can use to get a better idea of your soul’s contract. Here are a few you can look into yourself:

1. North Node and South Node Lunar placements and the houses and signs they occupy. The South Node represents what you’re releasing from a past life and the North Node is what your soul is calling for. You can send me your birth information prior to a reading and I can reveal this for you along with other details about your soul’s contract. 
2. Look at Saturn. Saturn lays a big role in our experience of karma here. The houses, signs, and aspects Saturn occupies at birth will say a lot about how karma is affecting you. Also, by progressing into the future with Astrology, you’ll also discover how karma is changing for you. It’s very interesting. Again, if you book a session with me, we can discover this together!
3. Pay attention to what shows up over and over again.  Issues that show up over and over again in your life are likely to be related to a soul contract. They are here to teach us about ourselves. This is especially true when we get involved with similar romantic partners that are simply not good for us.

Astrology and the Akashic Records can reveal a lot about the friends we make, the parents we chose, the romantic partners we get involved with, and the children we have. This doesn’t just apply to contracts we have or what we might consider negative influences on our life. We are also here to help other people grow too. So that annoying teenager that’s always getting in trouble and making our lives miserable: yup you’re probably here for their evolution as much as they’re here for yours.

One piece of advice and want to leave you with that has made a profound impact on my life is this: everything that shows up in your life is there for a reason. I absolutely believe in the laws of free will and choice. It is 100% within your power how to deal with what life throws at you. I always try to ask myself “what is this here to teach me?”

Now I want to hear from you, do you have any soul contracts you would like to share? Who in your life is teaching you and helping you involve your soul (could be positive or negative influence)?

The way I understand it is when a person dies, their spirit sheds their physical body first, then their mental and emotional bodies. Spirits who want to hold onto their 4th dimensional aspect (which is their mental/emotional body) tend to become “stuck” between the world of the living and the dead.

It is so important to understand this because if a spirit is trying to contact you, you do want to make sure that the spirit is fully crossed over first. 4th dimensional spirits carry their ego and pain with them and are often only fragments of a person—not their actual soul. These kinds of spirits are not connect to Source through their Godspark (also called the silver cord) and have to get their energy from the living. There is a chance if a spirit is trying to contact you, they might be an Earthbound spirit, ghost, or poltergeist that hold the intention of getting their energy from you rather from source.

With that said, our loved ones on the other side want us to know that they are safe and at peace. They often check in on us because they love us and they sometimes even help us learn and grow on our spiritual path. If they are trying to get in contact with you, chances are that it takes quite a lot of energy to make the trip here to the physical plane. This is why we don’t see them manifest usually in a physical form. If a Spirit is trying to contact you, most likely it is very subtle. Remember, language is a very 3rd dimensional tool. It’s here for use in the physical world—so they may not use language when trying to contact you. It is way more probable that they will communicate energetically instead.

Here are some ways they could try to contact you: 

1. Electronic Interference - Spirits will sometimes mess around with electronic equipment. Everything from ringing a telephone (with nobody on the other line), to turning off a television or changing channel, to ringing an alarm clock—things that happen without explanation. 
2. Sending You A Sign – You might see a symbol or a number that you associate with a loved one. A friend of mine knows her grandmother is present when she sees patterns of the number “333″ in her life. You might see butterflies, birds, or animals that remind you of them.
3. Using Your Senses - The scent of smell seems to be a common one. Sometimes, when I do readings, I’ll smell someone smoking a cigar, an essential oil, or a perfume and I know that it’s connected to a departed loved one. The sense of smell is a powerful energetic tool the spirit world uses to remind us they are safe and at peace.
4. Dreams - This is really the most common. Our loved ones play different roles in our dreams and show up from time to time to be with us the closest way they can. In our dream state, we are more open to the other side and deeper levels of consciousness. My grandmother frequents my dreams a lot.

Those are the top four ways I’ve discovered spirits using to contact us. Now I want to hear from you. Have spirits tried to contact you? Leave a comment below!

She began to show up in my dreams a short time later. I would dream of a memory we had together and we would talk about things that were going on in my life. It wasn’t something that I could control (like with Lucid Dreaming), it was her way of showing me that she’s still with me.

While I promote myself as a psychic, I am technically a psychic medium. The mediumship thing has always fascinated me. Sometimes during readings, spirits come through to deliver messages from the other side. It doesn’t always happen, but it a great surprise to my client if someone comes through. Even though connecting with other people’s family members can be difficult, connecting with your own relatives is actually very easy. We shared karma with these souls, we recognize their resonance, and we can feel them when they’re near.

How to Channel Grandma (or really anybody you were close to who has passed away)

I realize this might be difficult for many to believe. There is such a stigma with mediumship. There are a lot of people who say “you have to be born a medium”—but you don’t have to be born that way to connect with your own family. If you lost your mother, for example, you share so many attachments with her that connecting with her is most likely  vibrationally compatible. Here are some steps that you can take to connect with your own loved ones on the other side. They work for me, so I’m sure they will work for you.

1. Get into an alpha brain state. You do have to be relaxed and in a slightly altered state to do this easily. Sure, there are people who can do go in and out of “alpha” at will (like TV mediums), but you will be far more successful if you close your eyes for ten minutes, relax your body, calm your nerves, and clear your mind. 
2. Set the intention. Grab a notebook and write down the intention: “I would like to connect to my Grandma and channel messages from her (and only her) from the other side. I ask that my Spirit Guide only allow me to connect with her and no one else during this time.”
3. Begin writing a letter. I always recommend writing a letter. “Dear Grandma” is a great place to start. Tell them how much you love them and recall a memory that you shared together. Memories are an excellent way to tune into their energy.
4. Ask a question. Write down your question. Be very specific in what you’re asking.
5. Begin to answer your question. Writing out “My Grandma says…” and begin to filling in the blank. Just trust whatever pops into your head. You might just get one word at first. The first time I did this, I wrote out 6 pages of information! Some of the information might seem vague at first, but as you continue writing, it gets more detailed.
6. Say thank you. When you’re finished, thank your Guides for protecting you and thank the Spirit for being with you.

It’s not a very difficult process. Much of psychic developer is actually pretty easy. I’d love to hear from you. Have you done a method similar to this before? Have you channeled someone who has passed away? Leave a comment below!

Here’s an example of a recurring dream I have: 

One of my recurring dreams is at an amusement park—which is totally abandoned and underwater. My friends and I are sleeping in the park trying to escape the madness. Everything is so flooded, I have to swim to get to dry land. Think about the amount of water here…I’m sleeping high up in the park rides. As I move through the park trying to escape, I find that it is surrounded by barbwire. Somebody has been trying to keep me locked in. I finally find a point in the park where I can jump across the barbwire and I find myself on dry land where I walk for miles to a beach house. The ocean waves are huge and pounding against the house and I pretend I’m on vacation and go swimming. Later, I meet up with some friends from the amusement park and take shelter in another house nearby that becomes our new home. Eventually, the tides go out and everything returns to normal.

I probably have this dream once every few months and I’ve always wondered what it meant. I decided to bring in some insight from my Spirit Guides to interpret this dream and give you some tips on how you can do it yourself.

How To Interpret Your Dreams in 3 Easy Steps

1. Write the dream out. It doesn’t have to be overly complicated. Just write down the details you can remember. 
2. Remember that dreams are often metaphors of what is showing up in your life. They’re a form of intuition and intuition comes from your subconscious (as do dreams). What metaphors do you see?
3. Compare the metaphors to what is showing up in your life right now.

My Interpretation

My life is sort of an amusement park. It’s all fun and games. I’m constantly looking for the next thrill in my life and what live in that “high” energy most of the time. The party seems to be over. My fears are indicating to me that what goes up must come down. This dream might seem a little bit exaggerated, but there are definitely fears that I hold that I might not be able to hold on to success forever. Breaking out of the amusement park is a metaphor for breaking free from the paradigm of rides that I’ve been on before. The dream is indicating that it’s time to escape, go on vacation, and be around actual people rather than stuck on my computer working all the time. Only then will things begin to calm down and become easy again.

What about your dreams?

Here’s my point of view. It might very well differ from what you’ll read in books or learn from other teachers, but: I don’t necessarily believe Spirit Guides have names. I think they might give us names sometimes so we can communicate with them with easier, but I don’t always get them when I do readings.

Here’s the answers I usually get when I ask for a name:

• “We don’t have names.” – If you think about it, this makes a lot of sense. If Spirit Guides are souls like us, they’ve very likely incarnated multiple times, so of course they’re not going to have just one name. 
• “Whatever you would like to call us is fine.” – This feels more genuine. We’re all energy, so names make a lot more sense when you’re incarnated here on Earth. Names are also numerologically part of our energy while living in this lifetime, but on the other side we don’t have the need for it.
• “You can call me ________.” – If a Guide does present with a name, this is usually how they answer the question. They almost always provide esoteric and stereotypical names. It’s not uncommon to get simple names like Michael and Raphael too—which usually is associated with an Archangelic Realm. Sometimes, I’ll get a letter from the alphabet and it’s my client’s responsibility to discern the name themselves. I think this is very empowering too.
• “You can call us ________.” - Groups of Guide’s happen a lot too. I’ll have clients whose Guide’s present themselves as a group energy. Some popular examples are Eva Gregory’s “Theos” and Esther Hick’s “Abraham”. My teacher Anita Burns works with light beings called “Johar and Simon”.
• and plain old silence. – This is a really common answer for me. If I get silence, that means they just won’t spend their energy attempting to answer it.

How do I find out my Spirit Guide’s name?

You can go to a few psychics. Sometimes the answers you’ll get may seem to contradict, but I think it’s more important to trust your own inner authority on this. If you can find someone who specializes in getting names, I highly recommend going with them.

Another option is to dowse or muscle test for the answer. If you are skilled at dowsing, you can move through the alphabet one letter at a time. “Is the first letter ‘A’?”, if no, move to the next letter. This is quite an annoying way of going about it, but it’s a great way to come up with your own answer rather than relying on someone else.

But seriously, what’s the point?

I just call my Spirit Guides, “Guides”. You can also call them your “Spiritual Committee”. It doesn’t matter if you get a name or not—what matters is the insight they are able to provide. Besides being able to connect with your team with language, what do we need a name so much? Do your Guide’s have names? Leave a comment below!
