Just Breathe

Many people say they can't meditate. Most of those same people say they can't relax. We all suffer from anxiety and stress. Most of us worry too much. The key to relaxation and stress relief, and the key to meditation, is simple.

Just breathe.

Conscious breathing is the key to meditation, psychic development, manifestation, visualization and magick. It is interesting that the autonomic process of breathing becomes something powerful when done consciously and with intent.

Whether you want to reduce stress, improve your health or increase your salary the first step is the same. Simply learn to breathe as slowly and fully as you can. Inhale through the nose and exhale through the mouth. If you focus only on the breath even for just a few moments your entire energy will change.

If you want to meditate but find you "can't sit still," don't worry. Meditation can happen while you are exercising, drumming, dancing or stringing beads. Anything that takes you "into the zone" is a form of meditation. A constant rhythm that matches the rhythm of your breath is all you need to take you to the place where you can control your energy, rejuvenate your mind, focus your intuition and visualize your best future. When you hold a vision of the future your desire your breath becomes the energy that helps make it happen.

Just breathe.

Christiana's Psychic Café

Have you had a chance to tune in to Christiana's Psychic Café? This is a brand new project for me and I am very excited about it.

Christiana's Psychic Café is a weekly internet television show on the Paraencounters Network.  We air each Sunday evening at 9 pm Eastern time. Archives of the shows are available on my Tarot Topics news website so there is never an excuse to miss a show.

Christiana's Psychic Café is a metaphysical variety show. I have exciting segments such as Tarot Talk, Magick and Mayhem and the Artist's Corner. I am joined by interesting guests.

The fact is I know a lot of really talented, fun, spiritual people. It is my pleasure to share those people with you. So far my guests have included singer/songwriter and kirtan leader Robin Renee, hoop dancer and slam poet Cassandra Tanenbaum and Mad haPPY, a husband and wife musical duo.

Upcoming shows will feature spiritual comedian Alicia Dattner, tarot artist Marcy Currier, tantric healer Lourdes Starshower and author Kingsley Guy.

Some shows include a short tarot lesson or discussion. Many shows include the opportunity to call in for a free psychic reading with me.

Coming up this Sunday, January 13 you will meet comic yogi Alicia Dattner and hear about her upcoming on-line Spiritual Comedy Festival. That, along with some great tarot information and a brand new segment "Marketplace Moment" will make this a very special show. Don't miss it!

What's Your Favorite Card?

Here's a quick exercise you can do with tarot or any other deck of oracle cards.

Look through the deck and choose the one card that seems most appealing to you at this moment.  Look at the image and think about the card's meaning.  If you like, read interpretations for the card.

Now, think about the card this way. This card describes some of your best qualities. Think about how the card relates to you specifically. What do you have in common with the energy of this card? What does this card tell you about yourself at the present moment?

Your One-Card Weekly Reading

Your One-Card Reading for the week is the Wheel of Fortune. This is the card of luck, fate and karma.

This card reminds us that everything has a time. The wheel is always spinning. If things didn't go your way today you should just relax. The wheel will turn again and tomorrow you may be on top of the world. On the other hand, if you are on top of the world today you should enjoy it. When the wheel turns again your fortunes may change.

We are all subject to the cycles of nature. We must control what we can control and surrender the rest to the Universe.

When it's time to take a chance do it boldly. Sometimes the wheel turns in your favor. When someone has wronged you don't worry. What goes around comes around. The wheel of karma is unavoidable.
