On a personal note, let me introduce myself.
I am Gwendolyn Martin. Born in northern Virginia, but I "grew up" in Florida.
My abilities include psychic readings, tarot readings, mediumship sessions and shamanic soul retrieval sessions.
I prefer when people get involved in their own healing. That is how I conduct a reading. To get to the source of pain, sorrow, worry and doubt. Knowledge is power, and being aware of your blockages allows you to release negativity. Over the years I have studied several different forms of divination. They include, but not limited to, chakras, color therapy, tarot, astrology, accupuncture, martial arts, feng-shui, crystal healing, mediumship and psychometry.
My destination in this lifetime is to help wake the world.
Listed below are a couple of my ramblings. Remember, when you read the works of a psychic, you are enabling your own awakening. As with readings, I suggest that you take whatever parts of truth that you hear and incorporate them into your everyday life. Trust your gut always.
Love and Light,
Gwendolyn
To Be Disabled, Or Not To Be.....
I have been on disability since 1996. It has taken many years to overcome the injuries I sustained in a car accident in 1991. During my rehabilitation there have been numerous times I have wondered "why me?".
When you question your very existence and the importance of it, you pass a milestone in your development.
For me, this questioning was a catalyst for my spiritual development. And has lead me here to you.
After much soul-searching and comtemplating, I am currently awaiting to start college in the fall.
Please stick around and check in often.
There is much I will be able to share with those of you who are currently on disability. My profession will be helping others, of course, after I help myself get through red tape and government programs.
But, for me, learning through experience has been my method. I will keep journals to refer to, then when I have reached the goal of earning a living in the real world, by helping others to overcome their limits, I will write some sort of manual to share my experience and successes.
If you are interested in what the outcome is, then just tune in every few months. I'll try to keep an update at least quarterly.
This is the first day of the rest of your life, don't ever forget this.
Waking the Third Eye.
The human body is made up of energy centers or vortexes. These are called chakras. There are seven main chakras and many secondary vortexes. For the purpose of opening a chakra, we will deal with the main set of centers.
The "third eye" vortex is located in the forehead region of the head. The corresponding color is indigo or dark purple.
It is a connection to the unconscious or the higher self. This is where you can tap into the collective conscious of man or to contact spirit through the use of guides and angels. It connects you with the other side.
So the question is, how do I open this center?
First of all you have to learn how to protect yourself. When you open up the flow, you want only the positive and most loving energy to flow through. Keep in mind yin/yang. For every good there is a not so good, every up has a down, every black has a white, every in has an out, etc.
You can research this protection theory and find that there are many different approaches. And as with other instructions I have given, I recommend that you use whatever style you feel comfortable with.
For example. At the time of my awakening, I had been raised with an attitude of western religion. That is I picture God as a man with gleaming gold beams comming from him. The almighty. So if your culture uses say, Buddah, Jehovah, or some other diety, it really doesn't matter. We are all tapping into the same energy. Pure Love. The universal force that created this world and allows us to create worlds within it.
However, whatever your beliefs, you need to understand that opening the third eye is opening to all of the other side. I am not saying it is bad, just that it can get scarry. So be prepared. Protect yourself.
My personal system of protection is to imagine a cyrstal white ball around me. I ask my angels to allow only that which is pure, truthful, and for my higher good to enter my bubble. I carry this bubble with me 24/7. This is extremely important if you wish to help others. You don't want to end up with their pain, and yes it can happen. How do you think I learned this? Yes, I was hard headed in the beginning. I can admit that now.
Next step in opening the center is to ground. Grounding is a form of cleansing. And again there are many forms of grounding. Research it, and find a way that you feel will benefit you most. For me, I use a simple approach. Sit or lay in a comfortable position. Close your eyes and take a few deep cleansing breaths. In through the nose, out through the mouth. After you have relaxed, visualize the cyrstal white light of love entering the top of your head.(crown chakra)
Allow it to fill your body and ask the angels to wash your energy in it. Take all of negativity and doubt with it. Then you want to send it down to your feet and out into the earth. Ask mother earth to cleanse the energy and restore it to positive light. Then thank all who have helped you to come to this point in life.
With enough practice, you can cleanse and ground in just a few minutes. I always do this before a reading. It helps to get a truthful and accurate reading for the client. Isn't that what it's all about? The truth.
After protecting and grounding you are then ready to concentrate on opening the third eye vortex. And again, there are many ways in which to do this. I used accupunture and meditation. You can also place a piece of amethyst on the area in the center of your forehead. Amethyst is in the quartz family, which is a conductor of energy. Ask that your higher self be able to come through to this dimension. Then thank the universe for the gifts that are given to us. Lay still and quiet, breathe deeply, and just observe. Thoughts may come into your mind, let them go. Don't ponder on anything, just let it come and then go. You can't push. Let go and let God.
It may take several attempts to finally learn to relax and quiet the mind. Again, don't push. It has to be allowed to flow. By pushing yourself too hard, you only get frustration. You have to believe that you can do this. Sometimes this requires training the mind to relax.
I strongly recommend also that you set aside a specific time of day to meditate. A time when you will have no interruptions. Take the phone off the hook if necessary. Lock the door, whatever it takes to have some peaceful, quiet time to yourself. Most of all, be patient with yourself. Rome wasn't built in a day.
After you make a connection with your higher self, you will find that you begin to meet others in your meditations. One of the first guides I met was a Golden Dove. She is named Aquilla. She lived in the times of Paul the Aspotle. I doubted her until I looked it up in the Bible. We have had many journeys together. She appears to me as a dove in order to get my attention. So guides will often appear in a different form than human, simply to get your attention. You have to be open to spirit for spirit to open you up.
Opening the chakra is only a beginning to a journey that will change your life. Just remember we have so much to learn. You can never know it all. Remain humble in the search for higher learning. Understand that we are all from the same source although we are each uniquely different. Love and luck in your journey.
