                          Put the Kettle On and Learn to read Tea-Leaves in 10 minutes!

 

Wouldn't it be dreadful to live in a country where they didn't have tea? Noel Coward

I smile, of course,
And go on drinking tea,
'Yet with these April sunsets, that somehow recall
My buried life, and Paris in the Spring,
I feel immeasurably at peace, and find the world
To be wonderful and youthful, after all.  T.S Eliot

It's good to use a wide cup with no pattern on it and a saucer, whilst it is best to brew in the good old fashioned way don't worry if you do not have any proper leaf tea or brew with a pot, as you can empty the contents of a tea bag into the cup when you morning drink is down to it's last third.

Now observe this simple ritual. The person to be read takes 3 sips leaving about a teaspoon in the cup. He or she then turns the cup in circular motion left to right from the heart and back again. 7 times, clockwise. The cup is then flipped over the saucer and left a few seconds. This is a good time to reflect and ask questions. The connection with the subconscious is made and the symbols that present themselves should be thus easier to read.

Once the saucer has collected all the liquid the cup can be lifted and turned. The bottom of the cup represents your future, and the rim of the cup the present. So this provides us with a neat time frame for prediction. Don't forget images near the handle itself as these represent the thoughts, events and house of who you are reading for.

The fun bit, the reading. You will need to enter what I call the “In-Between” zone. Similar to scrying but a bit more earthy and grounded in this case. This is where your mind is receptive to images seen but processes them without judgement or preconception. If you see what looks like a Bear then name it so, if you see a Bat in the near future name it so, and read if it is flying towards or away from the cups handle. The symbols you see will already trigger responses in your mind e.g. Snake (watch out for someone) or Ship (a journey). But the joy in this is that there are no

“fixed”meanings; unless you wish to compile your own, so a bit of fairground fun can be had after breakfast or even watching TV.

With a little practise you can become a competent reader in very little time. If you get a taste for tea and fortune-telling, I would recommend that you use good dream dictionary to get you started, as you will notice that many symbols and images in the leaf pattens recur and may have an important message for you.

Happy Reading. Tierney x

Can't Sleep?  Talk To The Onion! 

Sleep and Anxiety; little things we can try to ease us into a good nights sleep.

The first step is to quieten the mind from the days clutter. Embrace some silence, and let your thoughts be as passing clouds moving over you.

Start gently perhaps a chamomile teabag in the bath. Dried hops under pillow, lavender oil in a warm bath before bed, blackout curtains, don't eat in the 2-3 hours before you go to bed, sit upright and meditate in bed in the dark (might just relax you to send you to sleep).  Eat lots of lettuce and incorporate herbs like basil and sage into your diet. For those with a sweet tooth licorice is also good.

One of my Grandmas insomnia tricks was to cut an onion and put it in a jar, as you are going to bed, open the jar, sniff the onion and then close it! Saying these words “But to my nose a gentle sting but tis' worth the sleep that I shalt win”. It does work try it!

 

If your insomnia is quite severe try a nightly tincture of Valerian root, lavender flowers and hops. Valerian is also a natural painkiller so good for folk who struggle with sleep because of muscular aches and pains.

Happy Dreaming. Tierney x

"I had a 10 minute reading with Carolyn on the 20.2.15 I only wished it could of been for longer! I asked Carolyn if 1 day I'd be in a relationship & she said yes, she didn't really say much else with regards to that & probably because it was a brief reading, however I've rated Carolyn a 5 because she gave me 2 validations that were happening in my life in the "Now" & she was 100% spot on about the 2 friendships I had going on & how I felt about them. I am going to have a longer reading with Carolyn next time , very soon. In my opinion Carolyn is what she says she is IE a psychic medium. Nice 1 Carolyn looking forward to having you read for me again. Many Thanks, from Maria in Liverpool "

" I found Kay to be spot on with her reading. She was able to identify things without me telling her. She was direct, quick and had a great reading style. After having many readings with different psychics, I finally felt I was speaking to a genuine and accurate reader. I highly recommend her and would definitely use.

She is wonderful at helping you gain a clear perspective when you cannot see the wood from the trees. She's precise accurate and understanding and non judgemental and honestly every time I have had reading with her , I feel so much upliftment and her prediction recently came to light. She is truly wonderful , problem is I could listen to her all day, and the way she reads tarot is unique and is like telling you a story of what's going on in your life , when you cannot see all the pages yet. Absolutely amazing. Thanks so much Ann Marie you are a fantastic reader and a genuinely calming lovely beautiful lady. Xx "

Angels

Who are the Angels?  What would you say if I told you your Angel could be your cat or a stray animal who becomes a life changing loved pet?  Or a dog that miraculously saves your life, or a helpful stranger who suddenly appears then disappears without a trace.  Has this happened to you?

“Be careful when entertaining strangers for they could be your Angel” taken from the Book of Hebrews – in modern language it means when you meet a stranger be courteous as you might be meeting an Angel.

Wishing you all well

EASTER

E is for ENJOY

Remember how the Universe loves all that positive energy? A little bit of what you fancy will do you the world of good. Your happy vibe will draw more good stuff in. Can’t be bad!

A is for ATTITUDE

That ‘attitude of gratitude’ for all your current blessings will work wonders. Whatever difficulties you may be dealing with at the moment there are always things to be thankful for.

S is for SERENITY

Whatever your spiritual leanings maybe, do find time for meditation, and if you can’t sit still enjoy a walk out in nature! Spirit flourishes in the great outdoors and you may well find answers to your questions more easily there, away from the hurly burly of normal life.

T is for TODAY

Never forget the value of living in the present moment. By all means learn from the past and look back at happy memories. Plan with enthusiasm for the future too, and smile at what joys are yet to come. But never forget today is what truly matters. Don’t waste a moment of it.

E is for EGG

Eggs are a symbol of ‘new birth’. Whether you just eat a chocolate egg at Easter or have the chance to marvel at a tiny chick hatching from its temporary home, never forget the miracle of new birth.  I wonder, what can you give birth to now?  

R is for REST

So many of us work really hard and forget the regenerative value of a good rest. Stopping and doing nothing is actually of real value. I will leave you now with Lin Yutang’s wonderful comment ‘If you can spend a perfectly useless afternoon in a perfectly useless manner, you have learned how to live’.

Have a very happy Easter. Namaste

Archangel Michael

Always, in the background of your life, is Archangel Michael, a mighty loving being. He has come much closer to us in recent years to help us to remember who we really are.  He does this primarily by making us aware of who we are not.  What is it that we need to let go of that is not truly our real self? There are layers and layers of learned behaviour in us, which we have taken on in this and other lifetimes, that we no longer need, and maybe never needed; that which is not truly our soul, weighs down on our soul. For instance, we cannot learn joy if we are bombarded with fear, insecurity and by dark forces. If we could really remember who we are in essence then this would bring us to our Joy.   

Archangel Michael is your friend and protector, call on him often, daily if desired – he is waiting for your call.  Call on him for protection, for peace, for freedom.  He is with you always.

                                The importance of colour in our lives.

Colour surrounds our entire auric field, it changes constantly depending on our mood or where we are, it can cheer us up or pull us down so it is important as ever to keep ourselves in balance, to keep ourselves in fine fettle we can use the visualisation process by calling upon the chakra’s, chakra means wheel or energy centre and each one has a specific colour, we have red for the base chakra, Orange for the sacral chakra, yellow for the stomach area, pink for our heart and turquoise blue for the throat chakra, above this we have the third eye position which is indigo blue and finally our crown which is a magnificent violet colour.

If we feel a bit queasy then simply add yellow to the stomach area, do this in your mind as if you are topping up a tin of paint or spreading colour onto an artists palette, do the same with all the other energy centre areas to re-energise yourself instantly wherever you may be during the day, once you get the hang of it then it will become second nature to balance yourself.

Colour is important to where we live or work in the way that we decorate our rooms, it really is a reflection of the way that we feel and this is why beautiful clothes with good colours can uplift us to make us feel good, if we are fortunate enough to have a full wardrobe of colours then we can dress to suit our mood that particular day.

As mentioned above the aura can consist of a myriad of colours all infusing together to form beautiful shades, sometimes there are threads of silver or even gold running within the onion like shell of protection around us, each colour means something important and my readings will pick up on your colours at that particular moment in time to add even more substance to the reading.

Colours also resonate to different vibration levels, the highest being the violet of the crown (sahasrara) they represent the electrical field of the subtle system which is within us all and keeps us functioning.

If you would like me to do an appraisal of your aura and its colours then I will be happy to do that as part of your reading.

Thank you, Merlin

See everything as a blessing.

From the moment that you were born you had a life purpose, you had chosen your parents and the situation that you were born into, whether it was as in my own case a colliery community or a small holding with many animals around you, that was the very start of your life that you were about to tread for the next few years and beyond, as the years rolled on just like moss you gathered great knowledge, brought great joy and love  to those around you who were to be your mentors, then there were the dips in life that seemed so cruel at the time, but those dips were essential for your physical and spiritual growth just like the first wobbly steps you took as a child, you fell then you picked yourself up, you cried then you smiled but all the time learning new lessons about yourself, yes you the unique child like nobody else ? You looked different and felt differently and all the time you probably never realised that you were on a long journey of self exploration both inwardly and outwardly that would take you along many tangents and crossroads.

Some of us achieved great things; some of us may have struggled? But always these things were a blessing working quietly around us or in the background of our lives, it is said that we fear the unknown but the unknown is our finest teacher of strength and integrity, once we conquer our lives then we can climb mountains, Yes Mountains! Because life can be like that sometimes as if everything is going downhill or down a mountain? what we firmly need to grasp is that the freedom we are given at birth to succeed has not always been easy but along the way there have been opportunities to meet our goal if we so wanted, you see everything really is a true blessing even if we do not always see it that way ? There are real gifts in life that many of us simply cannot see, but they really are there for everyone if they really want them? we need to lift that inner veil, smell the coffee, grasp inwardly and ask those gifted who know and can give guidance, they too have a life purpose and worked hard to achieve what was necessary, they saw the blessings even in their raw element as air, water and fire and drew upon these basic life sustaining elements and expanded upon their blessings offering trust that everything was being pieced together for us at just the right moment of our lives.

As we see the news on our televisions there is hardly a day goes by without something happening in the world involving real people, these people can witness dangers in war torn countries, they can hear the cry of a new born baby, volcano’s can erupt and  towers collapse and we ask ourselves why are these things happening out there ? They are happening because people are living the lives as was intended whether it is seen as happy or sad? We are all working off something in our lives and although sometimes it may seem that others have all the luck this is just not so, because everything really is a blessing even if in deep disguise as such.

What we need to do is make sure we live our lives to the fullest given the blessings around us in our daily lives, those blessings can be as simple as having a lovely warm bath to going on a much needed holiday in the sun, be grateful for the smallest things as just like acorns they can lead to big things.

Letting Go

" Letting Go "

Letting go, of course this can relate in many different area's of our lives and where ever you find yourself at this time,or  experiencing a challenging situation we may find we need to be gentle with ourselves and find peace. To take that healthy step back to gather yourself and your energy, letting go can relate on an energetic level, emotional level, and material level. If our environment is cluttered it can also make us feel internally cluttered, bogged down and a sense of feeling disorganised which then can all too easily lead to stress. We then do not know where to start and it can drain our energy and we chase our tail and not achieve anything. By taking some time to clear out cupboards and unwanted items releasing and letting go of what we no longer need or which no longer serves us can help and make a positive difference even on the inside as well as on the outside.

So go through those cluttered cupboards, belongings around the home you feel needs to go perhaps that spare room or living room has gathered far too many objects? we feel a big difference by de- cluttering and feel more connected and more importantly on top of things!

De - clutter can also be in the area of your daily routine and schedule. Perhaps you have taken on too much? Finding yourself saying yes unaware of what has then taken up a lot or all of your time. Be aware of priority and what is important to you, what feels right for you, what you are happy with. It is all too easy to agree with what ever may be thrown at you and without thought we pile more on our plate and people please.

Cut back, create healthy boundaries, delegate, lessen what you take on or perhaps balance tasks over more time. Give yourself time to then fit in some much needed you time and  be ready to enjoy your Summer.

Colour is Back

Colour Is Back !

Isn't this the most beautiful time of year? When it seems like just out of no where, as if by magic there is colour, after what feels like a life time of stillness and  bareness , bright, vivid colours emerge. Spring has well and truly sprung I even heard the sound of a lawn mower  just this week, due to many windows open the smell came drifting in, the sound and the smell of the fresh cut grass propelled me to Summer. On this note, is colour in your life? Is there buds just waiting to emerge with a little TLC ? Allowing room for the seeds to be nurtured, develop, the right direction to unfold to draw you to the sun? When I talk of seeds I mean ideas, thoughts, dreams that just may be sitting there ready and waiting to start moving  you in the right direction. To start to take steps forward as we start to feel and absorb this perfect time of year symbolising new beginnings and a  fresh start.

Colour also brings us upliftment, a sense of everything is well, you can look at what is around you which is trying to break through and literally  putting a spring in our step, ride on this sweet smelling air, to feel the anticipation of new beginnings new life, to what ever your dream is and goal. Allowing the energy and colours of this amazing season to give you inspiration and clarity to your ideas. Whether your plans and ideas are in the home environment, relationships, work and career, positive clear thinking and the right practical step forward which is best for you can give you the feel good factor. This is a natural time of year where we feel such hope and aspirations that things all fall into place at the right perfect time. 

Emerge in the energy's of this season see and feel the colours of the blossoms in their own time, beautifully unfolding giving life and purpose to your goals and dreams trusting in the natural timing and cycles life brings.  Giving the care and nurturing to you and your dreams to turn that page and begin this beautiful new chapter in your life.

The Happy Jar

The Happy Jar

I can’t take credit for this idea as it’s something I read about in a book ages ago, but I would love to share it with you.

All you need is an empty jar, tin or box, a pen and some small pieces of paper.

Each day you write down on a single piece of paper one thing that makes you feel really happy.  It could be a potential family visit, the sound of a blackbird in your tree, the taste of that first cuppa of the day, a happy memory. Anything that makes you feel happy, write it down.

Each day you just add another ‘happy thought’ to your jar. Simple as that.

At any point in the future when you are feeling down in the dumps instead of reaching inside the cookie jar you reach inside the happy jar and take out a ‘happy thought’!

By doing this you’ll save on potential unnecessary calories and get an immediate lift as your mind slips back to a special positive memory.  Also, by lifting your spirits you’ll raise your personal energy/vibration and enhance your aura, thus making your connection with the Divine and your higher wisdom all the more easy.

And all it takes is an empty jar, a pen and a few pieces of blank paper!

Verity

Angel in the Storm 

 

Please walk with me for a while
I'd really love to see your smile
The light shining in your eyes
Is enough to mesmerise
As my soul begins to dance
And my Heart becomes entranced
I am elated by your persistence
To remind me of my Existence
Bringing awareness of my worth
And the reason for my birth
The many year of wondering why
Wondering if my time to die
Would come sooner than I wanted so
Because I could never let go
Of the memories of the hurt
My eyes filled with the dirt
The echoes of rejection
Would appear in my reflection
But today as I walk with you
I am reminded that all I once knew
Has brought me to this place
That I can now fully embrace
Not with hurt or pain within
But the song in my heart to begin

  

In light 

Eve
