My intuitive counselor

Had an appointment today with my intuitive counselor. I am open to this, but not well-sold. Actually, I'm pretty skeptical about all things metaphysical. OTOH, I tend to lean toward a collective universe jungian model (I think).... multiple, similtaneous realties, etc. I tend to be an interesting study for almost anyone.....

Anyway, the session was interesting but not dramatic. Still sensing that I am casting about for a best / right answer / timing. Wondered if fear-based, guilt-based, or shame-based. I don't think so. Mostly pragamatic and humanistic.

She mentioned the video, "The Secret" early on -- elaborates on "The Law of Attraction".... that is, that we attract what we will from the universe, be that positive or negative. That we can cognitively affect what we receive from the universe -- intention attracts manifestation.

She went on to say that M is putting out victimization energy and attracting victimization.

Says I need to make my choice, and that I need to realize that M = CHAOS. She posed the question, "Is she enough for you??".

Went on then to suggest a consult / reading from an local astrologer (again, something I'm accepting of, but with skepticism....) who is very able to ascertain patterns in this life and in past lives -- even to the extent of being able to help someone see what it is they are here to learn..... I made a mental note, and followed up within a day or so, that M has long been looking for a good reader along this line. Made contact, and bought a gift cert for a reading to give M on V day.

My intuitive counselor went on to say that the universe wants us to seek and find the joy in every hardship. To have an attitude of gratitude, and forgiveness as well. Suggested keeping a graditude journal and meditating a bit on that which I am grateful for on a daily basis.

Also talked about a "vision board" -- a visualization / futuring tool to use....

She said, I think, that these concepts help to align yourself on a vibrational level...

"See it, feel it, live it"

Says I am on the right path, but with (lots of) distractions (referring mainly to M and my codependent reactions to her, I think).

Thought that I might be "almost afraid to step out of the situation; preferring to have "someone rather than no one". I actually corrected her on that, as I strongly disagree. I have to be certain I've done all I can / should, in my own conscience..... but, it's not fear of being alone. I actually look forward to the prospect of more solitude and directing of my own time and activities, without judgement or grudgement.

Drew two angel cards: SURRENDER and RELEASE ( or at least, I thought that those were the two cards.... turns out that this refers to one, and I don't really recall the other, I guess.) Fundamental meaning of this card is: "LET GO, AND ALLOW GOD AND THE ANGELS TO HELP YOU. EVERYTHING THAT YOU RELEASE WILL EITHER BE REPLACED BY SOMETHING BETTER OR WILL BE RETURNED TO YOU HEALED."

The other card may have been MIRACLES, but I'm uncertain now.

High point was her gift and high recommendation of a video, "The Secret". She thought M might benefit greatly as well..... although, it may be difficult to figure out how to introduce the video....

She also made a referral to an astrologer that she said was extremely gifted, and tends to be able to do both present and past life stuff. Again, I tend to be open, but skeptical to the astrological.... I contacted the astrologer today, though, because M has been looking for this kind of guidance. I've purchased a reading as a valentine's gift. I'll do one of my own, later.
