Woo Woo

By Pauline Evanosky

Routines are something you don’t have to think about. Having a routine as a writer enables me to succumb more easily to the thoughts that want to be heard. As a psychic, and because I often write about things psychic, I include opportunities to really let the Woo-Woo flow.

At one point in my life, I thought my ordinary side and my psychic side should remain separate from each other.

Thirty-three years into the psychic side of my life, I’ve changed my mind. It is all one piece of fabric. And it’s much easier to think like that rather than to cordon off pieces for one lane or the other.

Just let it flow.

So, I do. At least, I try to.

What is also interesting to me is that my psychic and ordinary sides are both intertwined with my spiritual side. That, too, was something growing up that both knew which side of the room they were relegated to. Now, it is applesauce.

I awaken with a glad heart. And, if I don’t happen to feel very glad about anything, I coax myself with writing exercises, also something I do every day, to get me into the mood. I keep a journal every day. No rules there. Just a place nobody is ever going to read where I just spill it all out. Sometimes, if I have a problem, I can find a solution just by writing. It’s easier for me than going out to play tennis or going to the gym.

The great thing about a journal is that good ideas to write about sometimes leap onto the page. Sure, I’m the one writing, and I have control over my thoughts, but sometimes they leap of their own volition. I call it the magic of writing. If there is woo-woo in it, fine. I’ll accept that. More than likely, it’s just magic that any of us has. Woo-woo is part of that.

In retrospect, once I became a flaming psychic, I realized just how much of my life before was intertwined with being psychic. It’s interesting. I’m sure the same would happen for you, too.

Imagine you were a little kid. It’s easy because you once were a little kid. We’ve got some common ground, so you shouldn’t get confused. You’re at the playground with a bunch of other little kids. You wander over to the sandbox and see kids building forts and streets. They are running little cars over the roadways, under bridges. You’ve never done such a thing. Sure, you’ve played in the sandbox before, but it was always to make cakes and forts. You’d never thought to smooth out roads and sidewalks in your imaginary sand-built world. You take a moment to watch what they are doing, and then you ask if you can join them. It’s how you play. It’s how you meet other people. It’s easy. You’re a kid.

Now, imagine that what I refer to as my woo-woo side of life is the same. I describe it to you. I am matter-of-fact about it. This is what it is like for me. You ask if you can play too. I say sure. That’s all you need to do.

Because you just asked. You don’t need to take a course. All I have are pointers for you. Mostly, what I did was read books and then become a kid as I dived in.

Let’s do this! Let’s do that!

As the years went on, I realized this was my life as it had been before, except it was more fun. It wasn’t all rules. In fact, you make your own rules. This is why no two psychics are the same.

In fact, thinking of them as rules makes me think of areas where you don’t do this and do that instead. Maybe think of them as guidelines. My first one was for the very first days of my talking to Spirit. Everybody and their uncle came in to talk. It was overwhelming to me. It was confusing. I was off balance. I needed time to catch up.

My first rule for the woo-woo: Everyone takes their turn. No talking over each other. I can’t understand. One at a time!!!

The adjustment period was quick. I took one of the recommendations from the book I was using to learn to do psychic channeling to heart. They said for the first year, just talk to your Spirit Guide. Yes, there are a gazillion FIS (Folk in Spirit) out there who would love to talk to you, but just for that first year or so, talk only to your guide. It turns out that was really good advice.

My second rule: Just talk to your Spirit Guide for the first year.

Everybody has a Spirit Guide. He or she is sort of like your guardian angel. In fact, it was explained to me by my own Spirit Guide that folks have more than one during the course of their lifetimes. It varies from person to person, but basically, you’ve got one for when you are young. There is another, or a team, that steps in as you get older. And so on. A lot of times, the Spirit Guides you have when you are a baby are relatives, like grandparents or great-grandparents who have passed on.

These Spirit Guides are not there to ensure we don’t have accidents, because everyone does, and we all learn something from them. My Spirit Guide told me, “We can’t prevent you from having accidents or making mistakes, but we can help you stand up again and brush off your knees.”

I think people like artists and musicians have a better appreciation of their inner selves or their inner spirit than others do. I could be wrong about that; it’s just a feeling I have.

One of the things I had to do to learn this psychic way of life was to lose myself in dreams, in visions, in music. I’m sure it is different for everyone, but it was necessary for me.

Once I realized that there was no way I was going to get lost, I was fine.

I suppose the best way I could describe it is going with the flow. Rather than dividing your day or your year into chunks of morning, noon, and night or the seasons, or even the months of the year, you think of it all as a flowing river. A river where you eat, you sleep, you dream, you work, and all of those things are the same. Getting there will be your own journey.

Imagine that you can take your heart’s desire and move toward it. In a very real way. It’s not hard. You just think about where you want to go and then, with desire, with a determined feeling, you move toward that. It could be having a clean house. It could be earning a college degree. It could be a pleasant garden. It could be a beautiful quilt. It could be a car that you’ve rebuilt.

It could be talking to God.

Hey, thanks for reading. The Woo-woo is not a place to be feared. It is your heart’s desire.
