Tales of a Suburban Psychic

why people turn to psychics in this economy

2009-01-05T18:06:00.007-05:00

CBS aired a snippet on one particular business seeing a boom in this uncertain economy....psychics.

Not surprising really. People have questions about their finances, career, job. People want guidance.

But there's another factor, I believe. An actual psychic factor.

Many people who engage in psychic readings are themselves highly sensitive and in tune to psychic energy. Many individuals are highly empathic. As such, many of my clients are actually picking up on the vibe around them; energy of worry, fear, anxiousness as neighbors lose jobs and homes and media broadcasts negative news.

It isn't just thoughts my clients are having, but sensations around them they are also experiencing. So there is a mix of looking for certainty in uncertain times and dealing with uncertainty around us.

For sure there are some psychics out there that breed on fear and even help create it. Just like there are lawyers, priests, doctors, etc that are unethical. But for sure a good psychic can definitely help, by helping you stay in your own skin, focus on your own purpose and see insightfully into your own blind spots. A good psychic can also help those of you who are highly empathic to not pick up other people's negativity. Here are a few tips I've discovered.

Tips for not picking up other people's negative/uncertain energy:

Get grounded. If you are really connected to the earth and your own body, you are less in your head or energy around you. Walk. Dance. Yoga. Be barefoot. Rub your hands together.

Shake off. If you know you are empathic or pickup on other people's emotions easily, then assume you may be carrying other people's stuff. Assume it. Make it part of your daily routine, like brushing your teeth, to shake off other people's energy. Literally, shake it off. Or stomp your feet (great one for when kids get home from school, too).

Shout or sing it off. If you're bottling up other people's feelings, or your own, loud vocalization is fantastic for clearing. Give a big shout. Or 5 shouts. Say "HA!" Even pound your chest. You'll feel the release. One teacher I know says to do this and shout, "everybody else outta the pool." We are constantly exchanging energy with others. When we know it, we can deal with it.

Send off. Put your hand on your belly and say, "If this is not mine, leave. If it is someone else's, gently go back to them. If it is no longer needed, mulch back into the earth." This may sound a bit hokey, but try it. You'll be lighter. It is all intention.

Check in. Intentionally focus on your own life and own questions while holding your hand to your heart. Then notice what you feel in your own body. Do you have

Stay in your own skin. Don't get overly involved in someone else's emotional problems. You can help best when you are objective, neutral. You can be compassionate and still help. Or you can compassionately choose not to help.

Do what you love. Doing what you love puts you in heart space. When you are in your own heart and joy it is harder to pickup negativity.

Be creative. As a creative being, your mind needs to be creatively engaged. If it isn't, you just get all jumbled up in your head. Even organizing the closet is creative. It keeps you in your own space, too.

Work with a psychic. Get guidance on your questions. Get another view of your own blind spots. As you have clarity and get other perspectives on the energy going on, you can move forward more easily and release blocked energy. Often a good psychic will help you validate and refine your perceptions. This all clears negativity, too. I also offer energy work or will sometimes do a short energy tune-up at the beginning or end of a session just to help someone feel clear, more fully themselves.

My son says it is possible to notice whether you are sensing something on the right side of the body (yours) or left side of the body (someone else's). It works.
See: a 12 year old explains how to disconnect.

I wonder how others stay clear of negativity. Always open to new ideas.

the big "O" reading...when intuitive guidance delights

2009-01-05T14:24:00.006-05:00

one of my funniest readings ever...when intuitive guidance surprises and delights...

My client looked at me like a deer in headlights. Nervous. What would I tell her?

I affirmed to myself my intention to be truthful, relevant, loving, serving her highest good...and how about some humor to make this easier for her!? Oh, did we get it!

What comes (excuse the pun) to me as guidance is "Orgasm".

Orgasm? What am I supposed to tell her about an orgasm? I wait for more guidance and nothing 'downloads.' So I start asking questions?

Is there a conflict or concern about orgasms? No.
Am I supposed to teach her about having orgasms? Odd, I suppose I did say I'm willing to be of service and teaching about having orgasms could sure spread happiness, but not what I had in mind. lol. No.
Am I just horny and this message is for me and not her? Laugh. No.
Breathe. More questions. Still nothing else.
She's come to me for spiritual guidance and all I've got is orgasm. Can I do this work? I'm open to please have some specifics to help her!?! Breathe.
Breathe. Same message. Orgasm. Nothing else.

Okay. I know how this works. The message is for her, not me. Just say it. See what happens. Sometimes a client understands when I don't. Sometimes the rest of the message flows through once I start speaking.

"Well. I see a (and as soon as I start talking, and trust the message and stop doubting myself, the rest flows like river) Oh. I see. I see you leaving a job that didn't give you an orgasm. You just couldn't get the big O there. You thought it was the perfect job for you, but it was never satisifying. My guidance shows your perception is correct. This job will not be satisifying. It is wise to leave this job."

The client cracks up! "Yes, I just resigned a couple days ago. I was feeling guilty about it, like there was something wrong with me because it was supposed to be the perfect job. But I was unhappy. Thanks for confirming my decision."

Deer in headlights gone and she's fully open now, too. Divine humor. Lovely.

The reading goes on full of specific guidance about her life's purpose and patterns, talents and how to work with them, a new business opportunity, choices about having children and other critical and highly specific topics.

Half way through the reading....and my guidance is that it's time for "hard wood".

All I can think about is the relationship to orgasm, ahem, and how 'how wood' is good. Oh my. Do I need sex or something? What is up with this message? Is this about sex? Am I missing something? Breathe. Yep. Just say it, Meredith.

"Hun. Not sure what this means, but I see it is time for hard wood, " I share.

She chuckles and tells me she totally knows what that means. And suddenly, I see more than sex and I say, "Oh. Me, too. I see you working with wood. Taking trees and shaping them into objects." She confirms.

"Yes, working with this wood is very good for you. In fact, it is your orgasm! WInk. Really. You can pour yourself into this. But I am getting the guidance that this is not for financial comfort, just the orgasm. Enjoy it. Keep the new business for prosperity."

Well, I learned to continue to ask for humor, along with the truth and service. And it is fun to be surprised and delighted in a reading. Just ask for it. Synchronicities and coincidences of humor and joy will find you.

Let intuition be a delight.

antennas on standby

2008-12-18T13:17:00.002-05:00

"So...like...are you picking stuff up now? Can you really turn being psychic on and off?" a friend asked me recently.

"Antennas are down. But I'm on standby," I explained.

See, I don't want to be 'on' all the time, picking up things that aren't meant for me.

I'm in standby mode..

1. if I'm needed, beep me in

2. if there's something I need, alert me

That's how it works for me, at least at this point. I think I'd be zapped to a crisp any other way. I think I sometimes put the antenna down too much, as a way of keeping balance. Disconnect. Everybody outta my pool. My space. But that changes.

For sure, I'm continually exploring this concept of on-off and growing with it. The idea of antennas works for me for sure...as I picture there are various channels/frequencies that I can choose to tune into (and not tune into...it's a choice).

Besides, I don't think people want to feel like I'm reading them, you know? If they are open, and it's important, the antennas will come off standby.

The ideal for me now is standby.

aspirations not dreams

2008-12-16T23:05:00.002-05:00

Been reading to my 14 year old son The Last Lecture, with a theme of achieving childhood dreams.

The obvious mom question to Chad was:

"So, what are your dreams?"

"Aspirations. Not dreams, Mom. I only have one really. To be happy." Chad is clear. "Well, it would be fantastic to run Nintendo, I suppose. Well, maybe not run it, but be the game idea person. Not the person doing the drawings, but the person supervising. The one with the ideas and people telling me how they won't work. But they do work. That would be fun."

No need for me to coach. Just to learn. Know who you are.

Is 'be happy' too simple, too vague?

Motto: aspire vs perspire

sacred a$$hole

2008-12-15T15:03:00.005-05:00

"You are comfortable with your guardian angel, but are you comfortable with your sacred asshole?!?"
Funny guidance that came through for a client recently, eh!?

"You've come far on being okay with what is...accepting yourself...being in the moment...but you still judge the asshole. Don't. Be real. Be honest. Be in your integrity. Be in the truth of your thoughts and feelings. Just allow your sacred asshole, Your Old Man Coyote Trickster, when the moment is right!"

Don't we all do this? Self judging behaviors we don't like in ourself or others. Over controlling our emotions. Over riding our gut with oughtas. For example, we intellectually know that being angry doesn't much serve us, so we disown it. But not dealing with the anger and repressing it is actually worse. We need to face it.

be aware of the anger, go into it. through is the way.
By digging into what is real, all parts of ourselves, our humanity, our ugliness, our beauty, our fear...embracing who we are...all of our selves...in this awareness, we can't help but naturally become more loving. Really. Sometimes tough love. But love.

confession of an anti-asshole
Someone told me a couple years to act Latin. He'd rather I walk across the room and smack him a good one then hold it in. I don't really think he wanted me to smack him (I tried it. It didn't work for either of us. Just saying.) He just wanted me to be in the moment, to be true. He was right. And, it was raw and ugly. But it was true.

your turn!
But like everything, don't take my word for it. Try it. Allow your sacred asshole when it comes up. And oh,
please share your stories to rid us all of our "too nice syndrome." Add a comment!

Motto: Embrace your sacred a$$hole.
How's that for spiritual guidance.

message delivery for you

2008-12-10T16:47:00.002-05:00

Out of the blue, at the end of a consultation, my client told me, "I want to participate in your upcoming workshop, honoring that you're moving more and more from individual work to group work. I know you'll do both, but just more group work. I think it would be good for me."

"Really. Hmmm. What makes you say that I'll be doing more group work?" I replied.

"I don't know. Just feel it I guess. Right. And it makes sense, too, in terms of your time and making a living," he goes on.

"Well. Interesting you should say that. Because I haven't in any way announced this, but I have been wondering and asking for guidance on this. Thanks for confirming it for me! It's time for more group teaching. Clearly you were bringing me the message. Besides helping me, thanks, this also validates your intuition is right on. Thanks for sharing," I beamed.

Sweet, eh, how the answers come to us.

Motto: Messages come to us from those who are open.

will timmy and eloise breakup?

2008-12-04T10:00:00.004-05:00

Driving to school today, my son tells me about 'another irony.' "I told friends yesterday that Clayton and Ashley would break up real soon. And everybody said there was no way because they were doing so well (after all...they've been going out a long time...a whole month!). And guess what. They broke up yesterday."

"Hmmm. So you knew."

"YEH. I knew. I don't know how. But I knew. I always seem to get things like that," he continues.

That's how it works for me often, too. I just know. I know it as clear as I know my name. I just know. No logic. No reason. No evidence. But I know. It's called claircognizance (clear knowing) but whatever. It feels a lot like a thought, but it's not. If you pay attention, you will even begin to notice how that kind of 'knowing' is a different flavor.

He left the car by saying, "Well. Part of what I know is also that Timmy and Eloise will breakup within 2 weeks. We'll see."

As I drive off, I recall Chad "informing" me months back that I really ought to breakup with some guys quicker. Once you know, you know. Haha.

Point of interest: middle schoolers teach me how to breakup

UPDATE FROM CHAD. Yup. I called it. They broke up. No one else saw it coming and thought they had a really good relationship. But I called it.

reeling in the real

2008-11-26T13:56:00.003-05:00

Both are real.

I need space. I need connection.
I want in. I want out.
I need ownership of my learning. I need guidance in my learning.
I need rest. I need activity.
He treats me better than I could imagine. He doesn't treat me how I want to be treated.
I am love. I am not love.
I am clear. I am confused. (or at least sometimes clearly confused)
I am patient. I am impatient.
I am critical. I am accepting.
I am a guardian angel. I am a b&tch.

Both are true.
Both are real.
I choose in the moment what to embrace.
The confusion is when I need it to be one thing.
The clarity is embracing it all.

And the only thing to do is to be me in this moment.
"just show up," my teacher says.
And that...I'm grateful for.

Motto: Love paradox.

my name is bill

2008-11-18T10:28:00.006-05:00

"You can call me Bill," my son Chad tells his science teacher on the first day of 8th grade science.

The teacher pauses. "Bill? Are you sure?"

"Yup. Call me Bill." Chad assures him.

Sensing something's off, the teacher asks the class if there is anyone who can confirm his name is Bill. When Chad tells me the story, he boasts, "Mom! You wouldn't believe it!! 3 people in the class raised their hands!!"

"Bill is an unusual nickname for someone named Chad. Are you sure you want to be called Bill for the rest of the year, cuz I'll call you that if you want," his teacher jokes.

When I asked Chad why he did it, he told me, "Why not!? I mean, what's it going to hurt to be called Bill 2 hours a week for a year."

Afterall, he didn't pick his own name, so why not try on a new one.

His dad was not pleased. I laughed my head off. Chad requested I support him on back-to-school night. When I met the teacher I smiled and said, "Hi, I'm Chad's mom. You know, Bill. Thanks for letting him do this little social experiment with his name."

Teacher was great. He didn't care. Told me he'd call him whatever he wanted and he wasn't disrupting anything.

Great attitude. Change your hair. Change your name. Change your clothes. Change your attitude. Try on something new. Yeah, Bill.

Motto: Shake it up a little.

Yes. I drew that picture.

what clock did i create...comeon...be psychic

2008-11-17T15:04:00.005-05:00

"What clock did I create?" my son asked me of his shop (ahem, excuse me, technical education) project. "Come on! Guess! Be psychic."

"Oh. I dunno. I don't usually get stuff like that, sweets. I get more life lessons and stuff like that." I replied.

"Oh, Momma. Yes, you do. Just guess."

Breath. "Fire!" I said. (knowing most of the kids made footballs, seemed unlikely)

"Could be," he replied. "Guess again."

"Fire!" I insisted.

"Guess again," he replied again.

"Okay then. A campfire! A candle with a flame! A ball of fire! Red. Golden?!"

"Yup," he admits with a chuckle.

"Really? Ha! Fun! What exactly is the wood clock you made?"

"A comet! It's a red ball of fire. haha, Mom! Told you that you do see things like that."

Motto: Play psychic games. Be surprised.

that leaf left his family

2008-11-17T15:01:00.004-05:00

I recall my son's younger days, when a walk by a tree's falling leaves in the autumn drew the empathic remark, "Ohhh. Look. That leaf left his family."

Such connection with the natural world.

I remember showing him the water crystals work of Dr Masuro Emoto (the effects of words and intentions on water) which drew a remarkably different response from adults than from him.

Adults logical comments were:
--has this experiment been successfully replicated?
--interesting implications if humans are 70% water
--how did he take pictures of water crystals?
--is this true of snow flakes? etc.

My son's response:
--"I feel sorry for that water."
--"Why would someone write hate?"
--"Of course the water would not like it."

I look for proof. My son knows.

Several stories about the nature of highly intuitive children are captured in Doreen Virtue's book, Crystal Children. I met Doreen and we spoke of my son and I sent her a few stories that she included in the book. In fact, my mom heard her speak once and she told a couple of my son's stories.

Motto: Notice children notice simple truths.

get outta my head

2008-10-24T14:09:00.003-04:00

I often sing a silly song to my dog to the tune of Spiderpig, ahem, I mean Spiderman.
"Kodiak, Kodiak, does whatever a Kodiak does. Looks so cute. What a hoot. Lookout, here comes the Kodiak".... and so on, bathroom humor removed

The other day I started singing it to the tune of Jesus Christ Superstar, without realizing it.
"Kodiak, Cute-iak, cuddly, happy, licky, love me, fur attack. Kodiak, maniac...and so on"

Then I hear..."WHY ARE YOU SINGING THAT!? THAT'S NOT THE SAME TUNE!"

"Uh, dunno," I smartly replied. "Was it different? I can make up whatever studid song to whatever stupid tune."

"NO WAY. I'VE BEEN HUMMING THAT....IN MY HEAD....NOT OUT LOUD. GET OUTTA MY HEAD, GOOF!"

haha. We laughed. I was tempted to tease with what else I know...but truth is, I had no idea I was doing it. Lately I've been playing a little day-to-day-be-psychic game. That's what I got. :)

do you happen to be a genetic scientist?

2008-08-07T09:10:00.005-04:00

"How will my husband do with a move?" I'm asked.

"Hmmm. Seems like his work opportunities wouldn't really be satisfying.

It's kinda like this example..."

"A genetic scientist could be working on the whole genome or a chromosome. He's currently doing more big picture, whole genome, many variables. But he'd like to work on a focused topic, like a single chromosome, one genetic issue. And that opportunity for focusing exists here, not if you move. He'd be giving up the type of work and problems that satisfy him."

The consultation continues on various topics. As the client is leaving, she turns around and says, "Oh. By the way, my husband IS a genetic scientist."

Tee, hee. I knew it was a helpful example, but I didn't even know it was that literal.

-------------------------------------

AND...to be continued...

Last week I was consulting with someone and told that story as an example of how intuition can work. Intend...then notice what you notice and share. Sometimes it can feel like a very clear thought. The story seemed useful, but a bit out of place...as if a different story would be better for her, but ahhh, I get what I get.

The next client sat down. I asked how he heard about me. "My wife," he says.

And immediately, I know. "Ahhhh, you don't happen to be a genetic scientist, do you?"

"That's me. Seems you may have some information for me, too."

Double tee, hee.

-------------------------------------

OH, AND....

As we're consulting, I'm aware of some personal noise I accumulated from someone who frequently told me scientists won't get this kind of thing. They need proof. Even though I know to share freely, I'm hearing his voice track a few times, breathing, releasing it and just doing what I do. The scientist listened and asked intently. I shared like I would with any client.

Then I noticed a pattern I've seen. Sometimes (not always), highly 'in tune' people get messages that are more breadcrumbs and guidance on how to proceed, not the laid out answer. And he's getting the breadcrumbs. Ah, ha. Perhaps this scientist is highly in tune. Personal noise, down boy! Breathe.

Then, upon leaving, the scientist smiles, gives me a knowing wink, and says, "It's always nice to get spiritual guidance."

Motto: Just do what you do. Some will like it, some won't. Whatev.

1,291,928,083 choices

2008-07-29T12:19:00.005-04:00

So I'm approximately 1,291,928,083 seconds old. (you do the math)

Each second I choose how to spend my time. A billion choices of what I do, what I think about, how I feel.

Interesting. I spent the last 4 days unplugging. Time to myself. Realized I need to reel in some plans right now and move a little more day to day, step by step. At least for now. But while staying focused on my goals. Just not so focused on the plan. Then I can choose in each moment steps that move towards my goal.

Right now, those steps are Rest. As soon as I start to do anything else, my inner tuning pulls me back to rest.

Okay, okay. I put down the paintbrush. I put down the box. I turned off the phone. I picked up the wine glass. And a book. Hugged my son. Hammock time. I like this second.

Motto: In this second.

don't argue with reality

2008-07-26T10:54:00.000-04:00

Don't argue with reality.

Love what is.

'Nuff said.

in moments of doubt, how the answers flow

2008-07-21T16:28:00.005-04:00

Sometimes I wonder....

"What am I doing?"
"Am I actually truly helping anyone?"
"Is psychic a distraction from the real inner work of conscious development?" (it can be)

And in those brief moments, all my thousands of moments of magic and beauty seem so far away. All the validation. All the proof. All of it vanishes for a moment, or hour, or day.

And then, without fail...An email, or a call.

"Meredith, I just want you to know I read the blog you wrote about me everyday. You've helped me SOOOO much."

"Meredith. Whenever I take a workshop with you I am so much more open and everything starts flowing. Everything seems so much clearer. I'm so thankful!"

Oh, oh timing. What a gift. How the answers to my questions flood back to me still amazes me.

As the years go on, my heart expands and I see so much beauty and courage of the human spirit. And I see so much more suffering and pain. I feel both more intensely. I like it that way. And I wonder how else I can make a difference, in my own life and the lives of others. And even though I don't operate on feedback, having some now and then still helps churn the engine.

easy :: not so easy

2008-07-09T14:02:00.005-04:00

Learning to get intuitions. EASY.

Decide you want intuitive guidance.
It will find you. Really.
Notice what you notice and follow it.
Really that simple.

Learning to live true to yourself always. NOT SO EASY.

Intuitive guidance ultimately connects you to mind-body-spirit balance. Oh, balance.
When you're conscious and you're following the guidance, it will lead you to what you need. Not always what you want.
Reorganizing your life to fit the ways you are changing on the inside. Challenging.
Reorganizing your mind. Whoa.
Making your emotions more intelligent. Whoooaaaaa.
Dark night of the soul period. Period.
Simplifying your life. Not always so simple.

it comes in a form that you aren't expecting

2008-06-25T12:51:00.005-04:00

In keeping with my son's, and my, realization that it is good for me to be able to receive help more easily, I sat yesterday and sent out energy on my willingness to exchange energy around certain types of help I give freely (like ways I've helped people learn) and certain types of help I could use right now. I considered some possible forms of the assistance and just trusted I'd be surprised.

Oh, was I.

Yesterday I received a call from a dear friend who came right out and offered the type of help I need. And even mentioned how I helped him learn. Funny. And.....I said, "Oh, no. But thanks anyway." Change subject.

And yesterday, I received another call from a family member who came right out and said, "What can I do to help?" And I said, "Nothing. But thanks anyway."

DUH

And neither time did I even realize what I'd done until later talking with my mom on the phone.

DOUBLE DUH

Both forms of help weren't really in the form I wanted. Oh, hello.
But probably exactly in the form I needed.
And only partially in the physical need sense. More in the "spiritual need" sense.

Jury is still out on whether it's enough to notice how easily these people, both with lots of psychic sense though neither would describe it that way, connected and tuned in with me. I'm full of gratitude and tickled at what happened. Or do I have to actually receive the help. LOL.

as a kid i 'just knew it'

2008-06-17T16:06:00.003-04:00

Doing a bunch of house cleaning/clearing and lightening the load. Came across a folder with old notes and cards.

Several times I saw comments I wrote to others, such as:

"I just KNEW it"
"I just KNEW it"
"I don't know where I got these notecards. They were just in my desk. They just appeared. But aren't they cute!"
"I just KNEW it"

Worth a giggle.

Still pitched the folder and a dozen other bags of old stuff I just don't need anymore. As sweet as the giggle was, it isn't worth the weight or space of that folder.

"I don't think the person you're with is someone you'll be happy with long-term. I see you meeting a guy you'll marry in October and he is blah, blah, blah."

"Yes. I do believe you will be able to have children. Though with the assistance of in-vitro, not naturally. It'll happen in September. I see 9's. Yup. This September."

Specific. Way specific.

"Seems like it's possible this relationship could work out happily in the end. But right now it's undetermined. You need to center on you and your needs and just put them out there and see how he responds. Then you'll know. Oh, and stop nagging him. Instead, _____. He feels beat up and picked on by you and also others. He's tired and exhausted. There is some good energy in this relationship and potential though. You've put a lot of emotional investment into this, right? Well don't give up yet. Recenter. Lay off. In 2-4 weeks, put your needs out there and see what happens."

Uh, very different kind of specific.

I get what I get. I'm just a messenger.

they're both right

2008-06-12T16:19:00.005-04:00

A client is working out some intricacies of intuition.

"Why did my vibes say to date him and that this is good?" And "Why did my vibes say he isn't right for me?" I was wrong.

AHHHH...but they were both right. Nice job.
It was good to date him. MUCH came from the experience.
And it's good to not date him forever. For many of the reasons she intuited and experienced, he isn't a good long-term match for her.
Start thinking of vibes as getting information about the essence of a situation, self, person. Then use the information to make a decision.

Stop thinking of it as getting the RIGHT answer. Stop waiting to be told what to do.

Just need to know what you need to know for right now. No more. No less.

timing for no alcohol

2008-06-12T16:13:00.004-04:00

Years ago another intuitive person and I had 'weird vibes' about her husband and alcohol.

Doesn't seem like an alcoholic?!

But what is it? She thought something was wrong. My intuition confirmed. But vaguely. Something isn't right there. Not really sure what. Keep an eye out for him and alcohol.

Well...years become now and turns out his body is completely rejecting any alcohol at all. Psychotic reaction.

Was hanging around with someone who did a little freak out. Got all blue. Dunno why.

Old Me would have responded intensely:

What's wrong? Are you okay?
What'd I do? Did I do something?
What can I do? How can I fix it?
What does this mean? Is this a sign?
I hope everything's okay.
What should I do?
Feel better?!
Etc....for minutes, hours, days...

Now Me did subtly:

Let's walk.
Sit?
Ahhh. Pretty lake.
I'm here.

It passed. All that was needed.

New day.

no coincidences

My client comes really early for no reason, some reason. I could go eat as planned now, or go ahead and work with her now then go eat. I'll go eat after. Feels right.

I'm introduced to another regular customer at counter while ordering. We briefly chat about how fantastic the owners are and how we love this place, Steam Cafe (17th and R, NW). He asks what I do. I tell him I'm an intuitive. He says, "No wonder. It's the energy here. You get it." Smile.

We chat briefly. Turns out he teaches the I Ching. I've always wanted to learn that. He says, "You know, no coincidences. Just meant to meet." Right on.

Then he mentions out loud, "I'm going to move here now. Need an apartment." And the owner says, "Why, I have an apartment for you. Just available now."

Voila. When you're really vibing, what you need often comes right to you.
