Fellow English major!! Who is your favorite American author? European author? :)

Favorite American author is John Green (I'm a sucker for young adult novels) and European is a tough one. I can't think of a favorite!!

i need help focusing myself. advice?! :) thanks!

Learning to focus can be a very lengthy and difficult process. My pilates instructor once said ‘If you ever call yourself a practicing ___, it means you are a student. That’s not a bad thing. It means you are always learning and improving.”

So, taking that to heart, I’m a practicing witch. I haven’t mastered focusing so I don’t have any sure-fire things but I do have suggestions.

Meditate.

Some people need silence, others need music, some need that meditation music stuff/nature sounds. Whatever you find works for you, incorporate that.

Some people like to exercise, some people like to sit straight, others curl on a comfy couch. Find a place, action, or position that works for you.

Clear your mind. The easiest way I can do this is to focus on my breathing. I had to take yoga as therapy work when I went through surgery and I was told by my instructors to breathe through my nose and focus on my breath. It worked for me so that’s my go-to. If you want, you can focus on your heart beat or a body part or whatever works but try to pick something that is yours and comes from you. That way, you won’t build a crutch. 

Be patient with yourself. Your mind is going to wander and that’s okay. When you notice that it is, gently guide it back to your focus point.

Practice frequently. No once a month stuff. Dedication. The more you practice, the better you will get and the faster/more places it will happen/you will be able to do it.

I hope that helps ^_^

i think more of what i'm really asking is for a tarot reading, if i'll be able to make it through what's to come of this country. that's what i want to know. if i'll survive, and be able to live a full life.

Knight of swords reversed: Scattered thoughts and energy. Recklessness. Slow down. Focus on one thing at a time. You risk not succeeding if you don’t.

thanks for the advice. can you go into a little more detail? i'm really interested in your opinion. on the bad energies. where or who are they from?

In all honesty, I don’t know. There is so much of it spilling in from different directions and then the other realms are essentially (for lack of a better word) screaming so it’s hard to pinpoint what’s going on. Even if I could figure it out, I doubt there would be anything I could do. My job is to stay the hell away and play cleanup on the edges.

not specifically a question about an omen - but, how do you feel about these recent events going on around the country? The bombing in Boston, the bomb in Texas, the passing of the C.I.S.P.A bill, just all these things adding up. How do you feel about it? Do you have any advice? Have you seen anything in your tarot card readings, if any of them were coming out with these kinds of energies in them? it's scary.

In all utter and complete honesty?

Nope. Nope Nope Nope.

I don’t like it. Not one bit. The energies aren’t good. My spirit work isn’t good. Not even the In-Between is happy. 

Josha and I have a 5-10 year plan to get out of society and be self-sufficient. Our plan is to buy a huge chunk of land, have a small farm, and raise a middle finger to everyone else. Hell, we are even building our house under ground and bomb proofing it. Zombie apocalypse? That’s a real worry with us. I don’t own a gun just because it’s a cute accessory.

If anyone wants to join us on at our ‘home for people who have nowhere to go.’ You are welcome to. 5-10 years. Start planning.
