Shedding Some LightMac (113)   Mac   What Psychometry Is and How You Can Use ItPosted Saturday, July 05, 2008 (149 days 14 hours ago.) Viewed 53 times. It is used in order to obtain information about a person, whether they're alive or deceased. When performing a psychometry "reading", the psychometrist will hold an object (ring, watch, favorite jacket, hairbrush, etc.) and read/interpret the mental images and energy vibrating off of that object. Every object in life has an aura of its own. An aura is an invisible shield of electromagnetic energy. Objects that belong to someone for a long time or that become special to the owner, will often "soak up" some of its owner's aura and energy. The psychometrist uses the mental images (people, places, symbols, colors, or other objects....) and then interprets what their significance is. One who is clairvoyant can then add their own impressions/feelings about this as well. Each person's experience with psychometry is different, and there is no limit to the possibilities of things which can occur during a reading. Anyone can practice psychometry with these things in mind: To begin, sit in a quiet place and hold the object in the palm of your hand. Others may find it easier to receive mental images by holding the object to their forehead. Being very serious, close your eyes and concentrate on your breathing. This will help to block out any extra white noise in the room (air conditioning, fans, etc.) and will also help to clear your mind of any thoughts or pre-conceived notions that you may have about the whole experience. Try to push your imagination away at this time, blocking what you imagine from what is actually real. If the object has a very good vibrational energy, the images will come very rapidly and very clearly. If not, you may find it harder to read the object. In some cases, you may receive nothing at all and this does occasionally happen. It is also a good idea to have a friend with you for this, one who can validate anything that you see or feel about the object. (For instance, use something that belongs to a friend (let's just say her grandmother's ring) and let him/her tell you if you're right about the images that you pick up on.) You may choose to record your reading with a digital recorder or video camera or to simply just record your reading by taking notes with a pen and a notepad. Either way works just as well, but you should always remember to record anything that you pick up on during your practice for future reference. Once you practice enough, you will begin to get the hang of things. Just be sure you ground yourself afterwards and that you protect yourself before you begin. You can protect yourself by saying a simple prayer before starting and you can ground yourself afterwards by clapping your hands and jumping up and down. Psychometry can be exciting and is a good technique for anyone interested in becoming more in tune with their senses and with their psychic abilities. Use good judgement and exercise appropriate caution with doing any kind of a reading for other people and remember to relax and have fun! 
Permalink Comments (1) Could You Have an Underactive Thyroid and Not Even Know It?Posted Friday, July 04, 2008 (150 days 11 hours ago.) Viewed 149 times. Do you constantly
feel as if you've been run over by a truck, or like you could drop off to sleep
in an instant, if your head came even remotely close to a pillow? Are
there times when your voice becomes hoarse and you feel like there's a lump of
some sort in your throat when you swallow? It could just be that
you've recently gained some extra weight for no reason at all, or that you
feel as if you've sunk into a mild pit of depression. If you're
experiencing some or all of the symptoms above, it's possible that you may be
experiencing the symptoms of an underactive thyroid.
The thyroid gland, located at the base
of the throat, is a butterfly-shaped endocrine gland which supplies
hormones to control your body's metabolism. When this
gland isn't working properly, your body lacks the appropriate amount of
hormones needed to regulate certain functions, thus resulting in hypothyroidism,
or an underactive thyroid. This can be caused from an iodine
deficiency, it may be auto-immune related, or it could be a result of a
malfunctioning pituitary gland located in the brain. Woman are more likely
to suffer with hypothyroidism than men and is more common in adults,
although it is possible for children to be diagnosed with the condition as
well.
Symptoms of an Underactive Thyroid: (a few, but not all)
There are more symptoms of hypothyroidism, but the list above includes some
of the most typical symptoms often described by people who have experienced
them. Problems with the thyroid gland can also result in seizure activity,
though this symptom is very rare.
With diet and exercise, combined with the correctly prescribed medications,
these problems will gradually begin to ease up.
Being a woman during these fast-paced, modern times often causes some
neglect on our own well-being. Many women today are so busy juggling jobs
and managing their homes, that it's difficult to even find time to make those
annoying, yet necessary, yearly check-up appointments at the
doctor. Sometimes, there are very serious problems occurring within
our own bodies and not paying attention to those problems can have
very negative repercussions on your health. If you are experiencing
some or all of the symptoms listed above, it's quite possible that you may have
an underactive thyroid and you should seek medical help as soon as
possible.

Permalink Comments (0) A Day in the Life of a Geek-tressPosted Thursday, July 03, 2008 (151 days 8 hours ago.) Viewed 36 times. For as long as I can remember, I have been a geek by society's standards. According to one representation of the word "geek" in the online Wikipedia dictionary, a geek is: "a peculiar or otherwise odd person." The only thing that seems to be missing from that page is my photo and my name in large, bold print. As a child, I found myself constantly plagued by the other children in school for reasons unknown to myself at the time. I wore "high-waters" for pants, I loved to learn, and I, unfortunately, lacked the innate talent for making friends. Now that I'm in my adult years, I find that not much has changed. I still make lousy apparel choices, I am still infatuated with the learning process, and I am still not very popular. You may ask if my problem is low self-esteem, but the answer is absolutely not. In fact, my attitude is quite the contrary. Rather than fighting the unavoidable hand that fate has dealt for me, I have chosen to embrace it. I choose to be the geek that I was born to be. All of this brings us to today. The way that I live my life now is only a hollow echo of the strange, little child I once was. I begin my mornings with a cup of hot tea and I water all of my plants, talking to them as if they were babies. My afternoons are filled with a great deal of research, reading, and writing. When I am not teaching small children, I also like to educate myself by researching numerous topics related to history, paranormal research, and archaeology. I spend time at the local library and I enjoy conversations with the elderly. None of this, however, could make me more of a geek than being a mommy does. In all of my efforts to embrace what I was born with, I have found that being the mother of three children gives me many opportunities to show my true colors as a geek-tress. I have taken part in disgusting challenges of "passing gas" to make my boys laugh at me, I have made jokes related to every gruesome subject imaginable from boogers to brains, and I am constantly researching various ways to further educate them. Therefore, I would say that being a mother, above all things, is what most qualifies me as a geek-tress. This picture is a glimpse into the life that I choose to take on with confidence from morning till night. Even as an adult, I still occasionally face being ridiculed by my peers for being different. I even feel a little lonely and cut-off from the world at times. My life is filled with many of the qualities that would indeed make any normal, conformed individual turn into a geek. Does that make me any less fabulous? I don't think so. Would I trade my life in for one that's filled with tons of glitz and glamour? Never. This is my life as a geek and I am proud to call myself one.
