“We’re so engaged in doing things to achieve purposes of outer value that we forget the inner value, the rapture that is associated with being alive, is what it is all about.”~Joseph Campbell

Remember a long time ago when you were promised a prize inside of a box of cereal, cracker jack or your ‘happy meal’? You searched through the box wanting little to do with the food until you found that coveted prize! Although the prizes were little more than cheap pieces of plastic or paper, you not only valued finding them but they had value to you.

As one grows older what you value changes. The ‘prize’ is very different. It could be something like being asked to the prom, spending time with family & friends, owning a home or car, and in this work-a-day world a vacation or adventure. No longer is there excitement about dumping out the box, moving everything else aside to find the cheap, valueless prize inside the box. When you’re 5 there’s a great deal of value in that prize but by the time you’re 35…. not so much!

What prizes do you seek that hold value for you today?

Is it money? Time? Space? A relationship? Fame? Happiness? How do you go about emptying the box of all the ‘stuff’ that surrounds and covers up all that you seek? What is the value and meaning when you ‘find the prize’? More importantly when you get to the prize does it still hold the same value and meaning you thought it would?

Have you ever noticed how sometimes the prize isn’t as great as you imagined it? It might feel like something is missing or it didn’t bring about the ecstatic joy you thought it would. The reason for this happening is that if you are seeking a prize from an external source, it will never have true, infinite value and meaning until you find the real prize.

The REAL and most valuable prize you can find is within you!

You ARE the prize! You have value that goes beyond that which words can describe and until you value yourself and what’s already inside, nothing outside of you will confirm how valuable you really are. Money is nice but it’s not going to bring you value. Fame is great but it will never validate who you are until you do! It’s difficult under the best circumstances to find or even recognize true happiness until you find it within!

Every breath you take has value and meaning in this world!

Everything is energy vibrating at a different speed therefore everything you do, every breath you take, every choice you make has an effect on your inner world AND the one you live in! Your value is not measured by your wealth, how much you have, your status or fame. You value and self-worth is determined by how you see and what you feel and think about yourself!

Empty out the box called your life and find your inner value not based on those things outside of you or what you do but based on the very thing that gives you life…the prize inside…YOU! Appreciate and think of yourself as the prize and watch as things change! Cha Ching! ~Shine Your Light Debbie

The term psychic comes from the Greek and by definition means ‘of the soul’. There are many mis-conceptions about the term ‘psychic’ and having psychic abilities. There are several very talented psychics out there who predict the future and that’s great but what about using and opening up to YOUR abilities in the present?

Everyone has and already uses at least one or two of their psychic abilities. If you’ve ever walked into a room and felt uncomfortable or just ‘had a bad feeling’ about something you are using your intuition. Intuition is one ability and another is the ability to see energy. Those of you who practice holding an image in your mind are using your ability to see!

The question in the title asks “did you turn off your ability to see” but it might be more appropriate to ask WHEN did you turn it off? You had this ability when you were born and as you grew up you were probably invalidated for using it. Most children have their abilities ‘turned off’ at a very young age for various reasons. A child sees or senses something and in their innocence usually blurt out what they see whether it is proper to do so or not. They also see things that their parents don’t want them to see.

At a very young age we begin to invalidate what we are seeing as real because we’re told it’s our imagination, we’re crazy, wrong or we’re not really seeing it and the more we are told this the less we trust it. If you happen to ‘see’ something you’re not supposed to energy gets thrown directly at your 6th chakra. It’s hard to ‘see’ with a big blob on your third eye!

Open your inner eyes and see!

As with all your psychic abilities you need to feel safe and trust what you are experiencing. Let’s face it, in the world today there are things we choose not to see. We are lied to by our politicians, employers, friends and those with an agenda. We don’t want to see pain, suffering, poverty or that someone we love is not being truthful. There are times we don’t want to see ourselves and own our own truth. It’s not always comfortable to see the truth so it takes courage to turn this ability on.

When you see clearly, you begin to separate the truth from the lies and this includes those lies you’ve told yourself or bought into. Looking at yourself is the first step toward opening your inner eyes again. You’ll be amazed at how much clarity you gain by merely deciding and giving yourself permission to see!

Just for fun, close your eyes for a sec and create a mental image picture of a rose. See it clearly with its petals, stem, leaves and even thorns. Can you see it? Now, allow all that ‘stuff’ on your third eye that says you are wrong and you can’t see to go into the rose then like magic make the rose disappear. Believe it or not you just used your psychic ability to see and cleared some energy in the process!

How simple and fun was that? The truth is, it really is that simple! The more you clear and access your own abilities, the easier it is and the more you will trust what you see. You are not wrong for seeing, it’s not your imagination AND you may be psychic not crazy!~Shine Your Light Debbie
