I am often asked about past lives.
Past lives usually refer to the concept of reincarnation. Our souls are born and re-born into one body after another. There are theories out there that you must be re-born until you learn a certain number of life-lessons.

As the theories go, when you have learned all of your lessons, you are promoted to a higher state of being. I do feel that there is something to that, but even though I honour the beliefs of all, I don’t strictly adhere to any set of beliefs myself. I think I’ll wait and see what happens when I get there.

Do I do past life readings?

Yes. I love doing past life readings. Past lives are one of the easiest things for me to pick up on. All I have to do is look at your energy, and look back along your life-path to see where you have been.   Some of you may be surprised to hear that not all of your lifetimes have been on this earth.

Past lives are funny things. They don’t really have any control over us anymore, but sometimes we still feel the emotions from those lifetimes and they can confuse us. The thing about a past life reading is that you really have no way of confirming the information, unless you have memories of your own, or if you go to several different readers and they all pick up on the same lifetimes. So I tend to look at them as an interesting little aside that can help us to figure out why we react to certain things in certain ways.

Another thing that can happen is that we carry over emotions and fears from one lifetime to another. For example, I met a man who I saw as being hanged in a past life and he has always been afraid to have anything around his neck. If he wears a tight collar he starts to panic. Turtle necks are not allowed and he absolutely cannot wear a tie. Good thing he’s not a business executive!

On the warning side, if there is someone you cannot get along with in this life, you may be repeating a lifetime with that person next time around. And the time after that, and the time after that, until the two of you finally resolve your differences. So it really is best to try to get along with others or at least to not start up any karmic debts that you will need to work out later.

Best of luck and maybe we’ll talk again in the next life!

Healing in your sleep!

Reiki and energy healing will actually keep working even if the sender is asleep!
Great news for exhausted parents! I was just remembering a time a few years ago when my son(then 5 years old) crawled into bed with me. He had the same fever, headache and sore throat I had week before. I put one hand on his head and the other on his throat. He went back to sleep and just minutes later his fever was gone. I went back to sleep and left my hands on him. By morning he proclaimed himself better and leaped from the bed as usual.
My partner plays various sports and is often injured. He once reported to me that I started doing Reiki on his arm in the middle of the night without even waking up. He woke up in pain and thinks he mumbled something about his sore arm and apparently I just reached out and put my hand on the painful area. He said that my hand was immediately on fire and he laid there amazed, watching as I sent healing to him without even waking up!

People sometimes have the idea that whenever I talk to them or see them I am automatically reading them. Well, it just doesn’t work that way.

When I am socializing with friends I am only socializing. I won’t say that I don’t pick up bits and pieces about people because I do. They are only bits and pieces though, and if I am trying to relax and have conversations with friends I really don’t have time to pay attention to them.

It also takes work to do a reading. I have to prepare, clear my energy system and really focus on the reading. I have to tune out all other people and noises. That is not something that you can do while you are visiting and talking. In fact I actually try to shut off my abilities when I am not working.

If I were to walk around totally open and picking up everyone else’s “stuff” I would very quickly go insane. Just like anyone else, I need to leave my work life at work.

If I were a mechanic, I wouldn’t want to fix your car every time we got together. But if I heard it making a noise that I recognized as a problem, I might tell you to get it in to for repairs soon.

Likewise…If I were a hairdresser, I wouldn’t want to do your hair every time I saw you, and if I were a chef, I wouldn’t come over and cook for you every night.

Even if I were able to manage the constant barrage of other people’s energy, I would be betraying my own ethics as a professional. It is just not acceptable to use a psychic gift to try to find out personal things about everyone you meet. So, no… I am not reading you, and remember……. psychics are people too!

This is another one of those questions I often find myself answering.
First off, I will admit that I have a bit of a problem with the word “psychic”. It just conjures up too many strange ideas and pictures. Like old ladies with no teeth, warts, clawed fingers and scarves over their heads peering into crystal balls. But that is the most commonly understood term for that part of my work, so until something better comes along, I guess I’ll just stick to it.
I have always just been this way. I didn’t always understand what was happening to me, but I have always been able to sense, hear, and see spiritual beings.
Let me tell you about my earliest memory.
At the time my family lived in an old farmhouse that was rumoured to be extremely haunted. I remember crawling on the floor. (I crawled until I was about 18 months old because of my clubbed feet.) I was afraid and there was a very loud howling noise in the room. The curtains were blowing around, and I felt that there was something in the room with me, chasing me. I cried out and tried to crawl out of the room. My mother entered the room and everything suddenly went silent. The curtains suddenly dropped back down to their normal position. My mother picked me up and carried me out of the room.
Nice first memory of childhood huh??
I often speculate….Did I become more aware of the spirits because I lived in such a house?…….or was I more aware of the spirits since birth because I was given this gift?

A prediction example

People always want to know what kind of things I have predicted in the past. So here is a little example…….

A few years ago a young woman coming started coming to me for readings. She would come every 6 months or so and the questions were pretty much always along the same line. The biggest question she had was, “When is he going to propose to me?”

The answer was swift, but a little confusing. I saw water. I saw huge waves washing up on a beach. As I saw these gigantic waves a voice said to me, “She has to wait until the water comes in.”

I said that I also thought that these waves were going to be coming in on a special occasion and that I thought that this occasion would be the upcoming Christmas season.

I didn’t really understand what this meant. What did getting engaged have to do with waves? Water often symbolizes emotion, and big waves could mean that there was a lot of unsettled emotion, but that didn’t seem to fit this couple. Was this couple going on vacation to a place with a beach? I almost put the whole picture aside because it just didn’t seem to fit, but the images were so strong, I felt I had to pass this on to her. I felt a little silly telling her what I was getting, when I couldn’t really make sense of it.

Not long after Christmas of 2004 the young woman called and told me that she had been engaged on the evening of Christmas Day, and that the following morning she had turned on her TV and seen the huge waves of the Tsunami rolling in.

Ever since that reading I am very careful pass on all information I pick up to my client, even if I do not understand what it means.

Can You Tell Me My Lottery Numbers?

This is a funny little question I get asked as a psychic.

Have you ever heard about all of those lucky winners out there who had a psychic choose their lottery numbers? If such a thing were really happening, wouldn’t it be all over the news? If any psychic could accurately predict the lottery numbers, why on earth would she give them to you? If we could do such things we’d all be sitting on a beach somewhere sipping margaritas!

I must have the attention of the skeptics now!

If anyone out there wants to do the research and prove me wrong please go ahead. If there are news stories out there, and I am mistaken, my humble apologies.

Psychic guidance, in my opinion, is just not that specific. When I am reading for people, I often see numbers of significance for a person. I may see a number 3. I usually explain to the person that a number 3 may mean that a specific event is going to happen in 3 years, 3 months, or 3 days, or perhaps it is going to happen 3 times, or on a date with a 3 in it. I will also be able to give them an indication about which of those “3′s” it is going to be.

To give you a true-life example. When I was expecting my last child, I was eagerly awaiting his birth. As anyone who has had children can imagine, I was looking forward to the time when this gigantic weight was going to be released from my poor tired body!

I knew that there was a number 6 associated with his birth. I thought that it was not likely to be the 6th of the month. That was just too soon. But, I was really hoping for the 16th! The 16th came and went, and I resigned myself to 10 more days of pregnancy. (This was one of those times when the psychic really hopes that her prediction is not going to prove true. I would have happily gone along with any day sooner than the 26th!)

My little bundle arrived just on time. Only 50 minutes into the 26th day of the month. The 26th of that month also happened to fall on the 6th day of the week. Coincidence? I think not!

But, back to my point. To be able to pin point a specific series of numbers that will come out of a random machine on a specific day and time is probably not possible. It is very difficult to read a machine. It does not have thoughts or emotions, and that is what a psychic is picking up on when they read you. It does not carry memories that a psychic can tune into and it doesn’t have goals, intentions and dreams for the future. When I see something for your future, it comes from the emotions and intentions I read within you and those that are close to you. It comes from your aura and energy field and the beings around you. Machines don’t have any of those aspects for me to tune into.

So if anyone has had their numbers predicted, it was probably nothing more than luck. Which is after all what the lottery is supposed to be all about. It really wouldn’t be fair to give one person such an advantage. (The universe does have a bit of a thing about fairness.) Not to mention that the lottery corporations would have kittens.
What fun would it be if we knew all the answers anyway?

Oh, and have I mentioned that the future is not yet decided, and that this is a free will planet? So those lottery numbers have not been decided yet either.
But, I’ll save the story about free will for another day.

Good luck to all you lottery players!

Peace to you from me,
Bonnie
