Vibrations

My screams do not resonate.

Their disruptions are blocked by the mountains before me.

I am on foot wearing brand new shoes.

My depression will not break me.

I have been broken on the floor desperate for agility and stability, for which both have alluded me.

My screams of disapproval bounce off the landscape and echo beyond.

If I was born to burn then why am I not lit?

I am at present dissolute to the reality of my purposes.

If the flame is life and I am ash, can I not recover by igniting the path?

Will the mountains subside if I rise?

If I begin with brand new shoes, can I climb the mountain to enjoy the view?

My faith is real, as am I.

The view is magnificent even with closed eyes.

I can see the future beyond the mountains.

My life will recover, I just have to let it happen.

Intuitive Driving Lessons: A working Mom’s guide to navigating kids, clients, and life

Written by: Tristan Rimbaud

In this modern era of “too much isn’t enough”, life for a work at home Mom can be tedious at best. A juggling act of kids, clients, and life. The process of successfully navigating the sphere of life is simply to try harder, it would seem. To be able to navigate without concise directions seems wary to a struggling Mom with kids to feed and bills to pay. Thus the great battle between heart and solidity begins. Often times, women find it difficult to be intuitive in their lives in a natural way because the process seems long and arduous and another “to do” on a list that seemingly never ends. “Is soccer practice today or tomorrow for the kids?” “Did I pay the rent this month or is it past due?” “Have I even gone to the bathroom today?” The busy working Mom mind is constantly progressing forward in a constant stream of lateral gain. In this busy movement it can become difficult to always trust your instincts or even to understand what that is, herein lies the problem facing most modern Mom’s. The ability to listen to your intuition about basic decisions and your general life direction can greatly improve and calm the life of the modern working Mom.

The ability to be intuitive is innate in the human spirit. It is not some gypsy witch apparition available only to those who have meditated for a millennial. It is a natural daily process that can literally make being a working Mom easier. The basics of developing your intuition simply lay in allowing yourself to get away from the list in your mind and attune otherwise. Your spirit is constantly speaking, the question is whether you can hear it over the “to do” list. I have found in my work and research as a psychic medium that it is simply about wanting to tune in. Once you have established that you want to be guided and less stressed, literally you can be. The main step is to become aware of your daily thinking processes; to understand your mind. As you practice each day just watching what you think as you think it, observing your thoughts, you will, in that application, become more adept to intuitive awareness. The heart knows what the heart wants. You just have to make wanting to be guided apart of that “to do” list. Once that has seen the light of day you will start to become open to your intuition. That inner voice that helps; not harms.

Over time you will notice that you have two voices in your head. Your mind and its forward thinking way of handling things, and your spirit which is more opted to a slower approach with less ability and more divining. Practice by asking yourself, “What does my mind think of this situation or event?”. Then practice asking yourself, “What does my spirit have to say about this action?”. This will give you the guiding post to move into a new intuitive mind that will never cause clutter or concern and only ever light and prosperity. As you move forward in your new positive thinking lifetime; remember that this is the beginning of a whole new direction in your life that will succeed your expectations!

Poem – Racist Candles (I.S.O.P. Award Winner)

Racist Candles

Slowness in me,

Because you became the need.

Your eternal flame physically dead,

I can still feel your presence with its etched resurgence.

Of your flame that burns still within me.

Hold on, let go.

Become one, cold as the snow.

Your message shall never die.

Even through one such as me,

Meek; yet sturdy as the tree that held the roots of life.

Spilled from heaven,

Burning from hell.

My life covers all.

I love you, I hate them.

The battling grounds continue to weigh me down!

No matter what, you shall live with ticking clocks.

As I hold you in the scented candle,

On my mantle,

Within my soul full of coal to keep it alive.

Poem – Bound

Bound

Your self-powered confusion brought upon your eager selfish side.

No need for disagreement, for rightful deeds be done.

Accept your self-disabled side,

For what you see around you isn’t truth.

Your pathway is blocked by boundaries such as you.

Poem – Me, Myself, and I

Me, Myself, and I

Me, one day went to a grave that beheld an awful sight!
For myself was buried within its rubble,
With glaringly sick delight.
Off to the side, leaning against a tree,
I watched as myself began to scream.
“What is this, pitiful pleasure?”
I said to me.
“Is your joy, your pain?
Are your needs his pleads?”
Thinking about myself,
I quickly disappeared.
Now it was me that was left standing by the tree.

Catching Stars on a Cloudy Night: How to find the positive in every negative situation

In the maddening light speed pace that an average adult keeps on a daily basis with work, family, home duties, and relationships it can become quite common for a person to overlook the bigger picture as we spend so much of our time focusing on all the small details of daily life. We allow ourselves to get to a point where everything negative that happens to us is simply just that, a negative experience.

In the more than a decade long career I have had working as an internationally known psychic medium and author with appearances on more than seventy different radio and television shows each year across the globe, I have found that most people who let their daily stress overtake their spirituality tend to believe that God just might be taking a coffee break when bad experiences come rolling their way. Let me be one of many teachers I’m sure will tell you this at different points in your journey back home; everything happens for a reason both good and bad. If we wanted a perfect existence with no difficulties whatsoever, we would have stayed with God in the spirit world. If you are on planet Earth, you are here to learn from and grow from experiences and situations both positive and negative.

You may ask yourself on a daily basis, how do I step out of my own way to see why something negative is happening to me when it happens? So often when we are in the middle of a personal storm all we tend to see are bad skies up ahead for miles. We want to be able to catch the stars on those cloudy nights, but we just can’t seem to find any leverage. The answer to this predicament can be immensely effective if you choose to grab the ball and run with it. You have to start listening to your gut. Did you know that your instincts will never lead you down a path you aren’t supposed to be on? That reality can prove difficult for some people to grasp because they have built a life around doubting their own decisions. Are you one of those people? If so, have faith in knowing that you can change your reality right here and right now. If you are simply willing to have some faith in knowing that you can find the positive in everything then you will be able to accomplish a more spiritually rounded life.

Whenever you decide to climb a mountain you know nothing about, you always have to start at the base. I have found that awareness and knowledge is the base of finding positive aspects in any negative situation. For example, when I was seventeen years old I experienced a nervous breakdown from being judged so much as a kid by my peers and my family. For several years after having recovered from the breakdown I looked back upon that experience as purely negative until I started to come into contact with clients who were either beginning or smack in the middle of a breakdown of their own. Because I had experienced something so similar, I was able to pass along spiritual guidance that would have greatly helped me during my difficult cloudy days. Through seeing that I could turn the experience into a positive for others, I began the long process of healing my own old wounds and misconceptions.

Just over nine years later after having prayed daily for guidance in continuing to heal my own wounds I was asked to speak to a group of around forty high school students on the verge of graduating at a school in Cincinnati, Ohio. I spent two hours teaching those amazing young adults about the importance of our inner voice and understanding how to hear it through their intuition and the development of psychic abilities. I was so scared to once again be in front of kids who looked much like those who picked on me so much at that age, that I had to force myself to bury my fear to be able to step in that classroom with pride. I walked out a changed man. The students were polite, interested, and absolutely non-judgmental. Because I made the decision in my life to always try to find the positive in any seemingly bad scenario, I didn’t allow myself to pass up an opportunity to continue to heal. I’m going to give you some homework as I did with the students in Ohio.

Take time for your own spirituality.

Make it a habit to pray before bed each night to manifest your own positive flow to and from those you love. Don’t be afraid to pray for yourself. Charity starts at home. Be open to the Universes response. Keep a dream journal by your bed and each morning before you get up for the day, track your dreams and write them down even if they don’t make sense. Through these exercises you will show your spirit guides and angels that you are making efforts to advance your inner voice.

Lastly, when you come across a negative experience in your life, don’t expect yourself to instantly pull back and see it from every angle as that is unrealistic. But, when the dust is settled, schedule a time to sit down and do a mediation to open your perception. What you will find when you take time to slow down is that you are capable of seeing the positive. You just have to conquer the Ego’s trap of living in the past while being scared about the future. When you slow down even for five minutes once a week and live in the omnipresent you will allow your inner voice a little breathing room to clear the clouds so you can once again catch those beautiful stars.
