An update from Paul Fenton-Smith at The Academy of Psychic Sciences (02) 9418 8907

A Brief Reunion

Students from the August 2007 Palmistry course wanted more information on the lines of the palms, so we met for a half-day workshop recently.

Armed with photos of hands, questions about reading experiences and strong coffee, they arrived early and eager to learn. It was comforting to see that friendships were forged in this course, with one student flying into Sydney for the workshop, staying at another student’s home overnight.

Utilising the hands of everyone present, we explored career changes shown in the Line of Fate, with students confirming past changes in jobs and in careers. Three students possessed writer’s forks, where the Line of Head forks, signifying creative writing ability. Health Lines were considered carefully, with one student visibly relieved that she wasn’t likely to live too long, having nursed her mother past the age of 100.

After exploring Love Relationship Lines, accompanied by squeals of laughter and claims of innocence, we covered some of the most difficult lines to read accurately, the Lines of Children. With women having more control over how many children they raise, hands often show up to eight or nine Lines of Children, while the person only has two children.

As they departed, I heard them skipping through the autumnal carpet of leaves in my front garden. I reflected upon how they had come to discover the mysteries of their hands, and in doing so, they discovered each other.

The next Palmistry course commences on Sunday August the 10th for three Sundays.

The Future Looks . . . blurred

Over the last 12 months I’ve required reading glasses in order to trace the finer lines in palms during palmistry readings. Having mislaid my glasses recently, I had to borrow the client’s glasses in order to complete the reading. The reading began with

"I’m going to need your hands and your glasses."

Basic Psychic Cleansing

During the recent Psychic Development course students confirmed the effectiveness of salt baths for psychic cleansing. A cup of natural sea salt in a bath once a week is enough to cleanse away most negativity collected during the previous week.

Throughout winter, when temperatures prohibit swimming in the ocean, you can replicate the ocean with a salt bath. As a result of immersing yourself up to your chin in the salt water, you are more likely to enjoy a deep restful sleep at night.

If your work exposes you to more than usual negativity (such as working in a hospital, prison, healing center or a public bar) then you may need more regular psychic cleansing methods, such as meditation.

Anyone for a Swim?

I’m not a superstitious man, but when I glanced out of my apartment window at the coffin shaped swimming pool during a recent holiday, I decided to walk to the beach instead.

Purely Focussed on Love

Sometimes I clairvoyantly glimpse the underlying spiritual lessons contained in a past or present love relationship, the outstanding karma being resolved and the gift each relationship contains. Discovering the gifts received from each relationship can help you to release the pain or regret of that time and remember something positive you brought with you to your present life.

Impatient to get to her first question, Elissa dismissed the general reading. At 39 years of age, she had spent eight years in a secret love affair with Rick, who was married. Anxious to have a child of her own, Elissa realised that although she deeply loved Rick, she had to do something different if she wanted to have a family. Torn between her head and her heart, she recognised the need to release the hope for a lasting relationship with Rick to make room for a new partner and perhaps marriage.

"Just tell me who’’s next. I can’’t bear the waiting," she interjected at one point.

"It isn’’t as a simple as a new man replacing a current one," I replied.

"Why not?"

"It is important to discover how you got where you are and your role in this unrewarding dance you have with Rick."

"Rick is yesterday’’s man," she snorted.

"When did you see him last?"

"At lunch time."

"Some might argue that he is still today’’s man."

Elissa’’s relationship issues were the focus of her reading, as we explored the link between an unavailable partner and the issues with her emotionally unavailable father when she was a child. We examined the promise contained in the relationship with Rick and the actual delivery. Elissa recognised the difference between what was promised and what was available in the relationship, and discovered how she was continually hooked into returning, despite her ongoing emotional hunger.

Clients often want clairvoyant readings which are entirely centred around love relationships that

  • examine past love relationships (how they have shaped us).
  • highlight current potential relationships.
  • scrutinise parental relationships and how these might contribute to unconscious attitudes about love relationships.
  • look ahead for new relationship opportunities.
  • examine what needs to be done, changed or healed in order to be truly ready for a new love relationship.
  • analyse karmic love relationships for karma to be completed.
  • highlights other sources of joy and fulfilment available to help increase happiness.

It is important to emphasise that a pure clairvoyance reading does not replace your free-will, change events, or bring back a relationship partner from the past. It cannot heal you of past hurts, but can suggest the most suitable methods for healing, such as counselling, past life regression, changes to your work or home environment etc.

It offers a glimpse of your whole life, from a relationship perspective. Life patterns, destructive behaviours, lack of commitment, immaturity, obstacles or simply being blind to the possibility of deep love are likely to be revealed. What you uniquely offer a partner is also highlighted, along with what sort of person is suited to you in a long term relationship. Sometimes we pursue unrewarding relationships in a bid to feel alive.

When Karin arrived for a reading she was shattered by the collapse of her relationship. Adrian is passionate, competitive and forthright, and Karin loves his sense of adventure. This same sense of adventure led him to pursue relationships with other women repeatedly. I asked Karin if it were possible for her to seek stability in her love relationships and excitement in her career. She pondered this for a moment and nodded in agreement. Instead of retreating into her career each time a relationship collapsed, she might instead fall back on the support of a relationship partner when career projects fell apart.

"Where do you find a man like that?" She asked.

"It not about the ‘‘where’’ but the ‘‘how’’. First you need to organise your life so that you have all the excitement you need from your career or hobbies and activities. Then perhaps you’’ll be less drawn to adventurous men as your need for adventure is satisfied. I suggested a counsellor to help with the inner changes and a life coach for the career goals and Karin left feeling more positive and with a clear challenge.

I now offer Pure Clairvoyance readings which specialise in love relationships. This 40 minute reading uses no tarot cards, palms or astrology, but instead relies on clairvoyance and spiritual guidance as I examine the patterns in your life which help or hinder in your search for love. I scan through for new possible relationships, pointing out that you have free will in accepting or rejecting these possibilities.

Finding someone who accepts, tolerates, understands and supports us in our endeavours can increase happiness and lead to a deep sense of fulfilment. The subject of love relationships often takes up a large amount of time, effort and energy in life, and yet in a clairvoyant reading it is usually only one or two short questions.

Judging by the attendances at the talks I’’ve been giving on Soul Mates over the past year, love relationships are a powerful source of joy and despair for many people. Not simply the lack of a relationship partner, but unresolved issues from past relationships and the misfortune of meeting the right person in the wrong circumstances. Falling in love with someone who is happily married, gay or unavailable for any other reason can consume vital years of your life which might be spent with another partner.

Unrequited love can shape our relationships when we find ourselves attracted to a person who looks or sounds like someone from the past. We may be attempting to replicate a past love relationship in order to fulfil a deep seated desire from the past.

In a recent reading for 25 year old Adam, he lamented how he had lost a loving, devoted woman because he was distracted by another potential partner. His soft, boyish looks probably drew the attention of Michaela, who wanted a brief fling without commitment. Adam agreed that he had been immature and unprepared to weigh up which partner delivered what she promised. "Is it possible that by the time you are at your very best as a relationship partner, you’’ll look like your grandfather. You may not be as easy on the eye, but you’’ll certainly be easier on the heart."
