My inner psychic and I ran into each other again about a year ago after 40 years of estrangement due to schooling and a long career as a business owner. As we have reacquainted ourselves, I have discovered that the previous 25 years I spent as a severely analytical thinker withered the connection between us down to something like two tin cans joined by a (frayed) string.Now, I'm also finding out that re-building the connection is easier said than done - and that's the point of this article. … [Read more...]

My 5 Favorite Films of 2008
As I note every year, my favorite films are not the ones that I consider the "best' films of 2008. I do not believe that works of art can or should be ordered from good to best to whatever. How could anyone objectively say that a Rembrandt is a "better" painting than a DaVinci or a Van Gogh? We only know what we personally like and don't like.As a voting member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, I hope that we eventually change the description of the Oscars that … [Read more...]

Three New Chakras
Today I will speak about the three new chakras. The three new chakras are located above your head and are gold, pearl or pearl essence, and blue/green. At the moment, this magical addition to your chakra system might be causing you some memory challenges. You might not recall where your car keys are, or, for that matter, where you left your car. Some of you might feel as if your footing is a little off when you get up in the morning, or as if you're losing your mind at times. Your memory is not … [Read more...]
Then and Now: Growing Up Psychic
I was having a conversation with a friend recently and she told me her boss wasn't feeling well. I said, "Oh, she is pregnant." This friend knows of my psychic abilities and responded that, of course, I would know that. I corrected her, noting that she had shared her thoughts on this subject the week before. I had simply put two and two together. But it made me wonder: How much of my psychic abilities do I use on a day-to-day basis, and if I thought back to my childhood, could I … [Read more...]

Learning to Trust: Tails from a Pet Psychic
By 1 Comment
When a beagle spoke to me in a shelter seven years ago, I thought I was nuts. Hearing voices in my head, seeing things that most others don't see - and having premonitions that manifest into reality - isn't the best recipe in our society for being labeled as normal.So, as most people would do, I freaked out, questioned myself and put my psychic abilities to sleep. That lasted about a year - until I heard my own dog, Java, speak to me. It was clear as a bell, so I knew I needed to do something … [Read more...]
Why Happiness doesn’t have to be Elusive
What is it that we look for the most in life? On what do we place a higher value than love, money, health, sex, work and success? Above all else comes happiness. It is our No. 1 priority, although these many elements are clearly integrated in it. Happiness is the big umbrella that saves us from the rain. So what is happiness? More important, how do you find it? Even more important, how do you hang onto it? It's an age-old quest, as they say, and one that unconsciously drives most of us. The … [Read more...]
Baby Bottle Safety and Toxic Chemicals
Dear EarthTalk: Is it true that some baby bottles contain chemicals that can cause health problems for babies? If so, how can I find alternatives that are safer? - Amy Gorman, Berkeley, Calif. No links connecting specific human illnesses to chemicals oozing out of baby bottles have been proven definitively. Nonetheless, many parents are heeding the call of scientists to switch to products with less risk. A 2008 report by American and Canadian environmental researchers entitled "Baby's Toxic … [Read more...]
