And what about psychic readings, or speaking to a medium or spiritual advisor before making an important life decision? Is that okay... or is that something that is frowned on by organized religion? Any of these questions sound familiar? If you are anything like the thousands of people who have asked EXACTLY this prior to seeking out astrological or spiritual advice, this article was written with YOU in mind! Curious to know more?

Filed Under: Myths and Misconceptions about Astrology, Spiritual Psychic Mediums and Religion

You don't need me to tell you that ALL organized religions have "commentaries" about all sorts of common cultural practices. In biblical times there were many different types of oracles, prophets and "seers", who used a wide variety of different tools and techniques to "divine" the future.

And while some of the MOST famous people and prophets in all religions were those that used prophecy (and astrology) to divine future events, these very same leaders, and their followers often made rules that prohibited their followers from doing the same thing.

Hence, today... you'll hear very literal Bible interpreters of ALL religions claiming that seeing a psychic is wrong, or that seeking out spiritual guidance, especially when it comes to communicating with a loved one who has past, is to be avoided. (Even though these are the very same things that our religions want us to believe are possible, and can be the MOST healing and helpful activities we can all do to align our actions with our life purpose and passion)

The good news?

A spiritual psychic or astrological reading can do far more GOOD for your life, and your belief in a kind and loving universe, than years and years of blind faith ever could. I have a close friend who is a Rabbi, and who laughs and "officially" makes no comment about psychics and mediums when asked by his congregation.

And yet... in a small study group in which we participate together of spiritually likeminded seekers from all religious denominations, we all practice and learn Kaballah together in the hope of being able to explore spiritual realms, and see future events, and connect with our own karma and life purpose along the way.

You'll find similar truths in most spiritual organizations these days... and ALL religions have very deep practices that celebrate psychic abilities, spiritual communication and learning the TRUTH about reality by exploring non ordinary states of awareness as well. (There is Christian Mysticism, and Sufism in Islam, Kaballah in Judaism, and of course... all of the far East mediative practices are ALL about karma, prana, energy and spiritual realities that can be accessed through developing psychic powers).

Are you having a hard time finding your passion? Many of my career coaching clients wrestle with this. It was hard for me too. This month though I discovered a new way for my career coaching clients to find their passion. Although the circumstances are not what I would wish for anyone, everyone has tough times at some time in their lives so this might work for you too. My mother who is 96 came down with bronchitis at the end of September. Two days after the doctor had diagnosed her she got worse so I called an ambulance to take her to the hospital.

Tips for finding a job in 2010 The job market is shaky. Since the recession began in December 2007, the economy has lost approximately 1.4 million jobs. The traditional job search strategy of sending out résumés, attending large job fairs, often ends up going nowhere when there are more than 14 million unemployed individuals and only 2.5 million jobs to fill according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. You may think it’s impossible to find a job in today. Not so! Now is the very best time to move forward with force, while your competition is moving slowly.

When was the last time you asked a client for feedback about your services and how your office staff works as a team? You might turn up some useful information by doing a client feedback session when their work is complete. I recently had an experience with a hospital that is an example of how frustrating a poorly working team can be. I wish they had asked for feedback!
