UpBeat Predictions for Difficult Times

There’s no arguing the fact that the global economy is in deep doo-doo right now, and almost every individual on the planet is suffering in some way from the recent set-backs. However, the psychic and the optimist in me immediately noticed that such a massive correction would be rife with new opportunities. 

There is an upside to this downturn…. it could serve us very nicely at this time. It may especially benefit “the little guy”, those who have struggled to keep up, even in the midst of the apparent abundance surrounding “Corporate America”… let me explain.

I see a number of positive trends coming from this shift – in fact a lot of breakthroughs are possible from the recent economic breakdown.. Continue reading →

In the late ’80′s, my guides foresaw the need for individuals to be available with answers as folks “awakened”. They told me that as we moved through this transformative cycle, more and more people would be awakening to their birthright, to their psychic and intuitive abilities, and they would be afraid of what was happening to them, filled with questions. I was shown a picture of myself at a bank of computers responding to queries from all parts of the world. Over the next few years, doors seemed to mysteriously open, until one day I opened the door to Global Psychics and this web site… it is no wonder then, that a ? is prominent in our logo. We have been answering questions on the web for more than 12 years now… my guides were right, many people are noticing new abilities, and many are troubled by them.  Continue reading →

It doesn’t take being psychic to know that we must rethink out lifestyles to guarantee that our children’s children will be able to live comfortably on this planet. As a psychic, I am naturally inclined to live naturally as much as possible. And conservation of resources, actively supporting in what ever way I can the need for clean air and clean water, was learned at a very early age.  We use few chemicals in or around our home, are diligent recyclers and cautious consumers… but at the end of the day, we are limited by our environment, by choices that were made decades ago by those who came before me. My home is some 35 years old, built before contractors developed an  environmental consciousness. And I live in an old city serviced by aging utilities… it will take a century or more and billions of dollars for us to be able to update all of our services and homes to effectively reduce our carbon footprint on this planet.

Superstitions are rarely founded on fact, but occasionally there is something to what seems like an irrational belief.  This visitor discovered that there is some truth to the stories about peacock feathers. Although Peacocks are honoured as good fortune and associated with royalty, glory and resurrection, their feathers can be unlucky… perhaps the peacock is such a regal and powerful totem, that it demands that even its feathers be honoured by leaving them in their natural environment.

I am writing is in regards to the superstitions about peacock feathers being kept indoors. I personally am a lover of peacocks, being such beautiful and protective creatures. I was so happy a few years ago when a friend of the family gave me a large bunch of peacock feathers. I was still in school at the time and was into lots of different types of superstitions, i.e. wicker, meditations, egyption oracles…etc. I dabbled in quite a few different things. I found my life to be average at that time… always found I had to strive harder than most to get where I knew I had to be. I was known to be clumsy, constantly late, and the bearer of general bad luck. Things never seemed to go right for me. Continue reading →

By Steve Bhaeman, Swami Beyondanada

I just returned home after a busy “world win” tour to the northeast and midwest that had so many highlights that I couldn’t list them all in a short newsletter. One of the high points was a Course In Laughter weekend workshop at the Rowe Conference Center in Massachusetts.

I want to focus on one breakthrough moment in that workshop, because it offers a helpful, positive direction at a time when negativity fills the news. One of the important intentions of the workshop — which is subtitled “The Art of Situational Comedy” — is to help individuals use the magic of humor to reframe life challenges in an empowering way. One of the participants was a woman who, facing retirement in a few years, was concerned that she might not have the health and financial well being to enjoy it. The way she put it was, “I don’t want to be incapacitated during my declining years.”

Someone else in the workshop then made a suggestion that it might be more helpful to focus on what we do want rather than what we don’t. So we offered her a new intention: “How can I be fully capacitated during my inclining years?” We all had a good hearty laugh, but that was nothing compared to what happened the following morning. The woman performed an entire routine — involving mime, the white board and the spoken word — that evoked laughter, and tears. She was entirely transformed, as she now had a positive intention she was living into. Continue reading →
