Psychic Workshop No 7 Tiscali

Yes, you're going to learn how to read string. Find a quiet place for yourself and ensure that you won't be interrupted. Switch off, or unplug telephones, put a 'do not disturb' sign outside the door, and a straight back chair if you are able to sit. If you are unable, then make yourself as comfortable as possible on couch or bed. Close your eyes and take three or four regular deep breaths. Send out your thoughts to your guide (we all have one of those - sometimes called our guardian angel) asking him or her to help you in your tasks.

Now you'll imagine that a lift door appears in front of you. When it opens you will see that it is ornately decorated and lined with amber tinted mirrors. As you step inside you will feel a healing warmth and love flooding through you. Apart from the one marked 'HOME NOW', and one 'CLOSE' there are three other buttons - basement, mezzanine and top. The basement will take you to your past, the mezzanine your present and immediate future, and the top gives different possibilities for your future. This future of course depends on how you proceed in your life from the point you have reached now.

Subjective time operates differently in spirit based work, so you might like to play a previously timed piece of music so that when it ends you know when to come back, or tell your spirit helper, your guide, you want 15 minutes (or 10.). This works too.

So, off you go, press a button. If when the door automatically opens at your chosen floor, you do not wish to get out, press the 'CLOSE' button.

Whenever you wish to return home, or to go to another floor, go back into the lift, whose door remains open all the time you are absent from it and home, and press the appropriate button.

At the end of your meditation, go back into the lift from wherever you've been, and press 'HOME NOW'. When you feel that you're back down once more, the lift door will open and step back to your place from whence you began your travels. Feel the weight of your body once more, wriggle your digits, get the circulation going, open your eyes, and take a drink of water.

Now the psychic string reading.

If you are on your own, take the string and crumple it in your hand. Throw it on the floor - or a table in front of you. Decide which end you will start at, and so begin your reading. The beginning is the birth and after, the middle, the middle years between the age (rough) of the person now, and their birth. For instance if you are 30, the middle years are 10-20, and the end, the present.

Here is an example as guidance for you to follow. You must use your intuition as much as possible. Where there is a coil at the start, it could be that the person had a complicated birth and/or babyhood - could be cocooned with love. Then there is an unfolding but then there is a different direction indicated. A peak of happiness, and then a dive and a leveling out. Lots of different activities, not really knowing where they're going, and a smoothing out in life, but a lot of looking back just before the middle stage. Then a terrible dive, a sad or depressing time, followed by an upsurge, perhaps caused by meeting someone nice, or getting help, and then another up down and round bit in that life, until the road begins to roll along, even if it is a bit uphill.

The last part has been a little heavy going (the last line of the string suddenly squared as if at a brick wall, but then going up it) with a wonderful levelling out, pointing the way forward at the present landmark in time.

I hope you found that enjoyable, and understandable. Don't forget, practice makes sort of perfect! Remember too at the end of your workshop time, to thank your helpers - and God, the Great Spirit for being with you.
