Spring and summer...
"Transitions and Challenges", now let me explain:
This year, spring brings about "Transitions". Changes in all areas, unfortunately, sometimes unexpected. This is the time that we must remember the cliche' of "Change is good". Changes occur when needed. Although we may not LIKE change, or feel that there was no need for change, they DO happen for a reason.
How should you react when these changes occur? Embrace them. Good or bad. They are occurring to allow for something new to come in. Wanted or not, you should not try to stop them!
Where the spring months are all about bringing in "Transitions", this is leading up to what is in store for the summer months. Now, PLEASE do not view this as negative when I say the summer months will present us with "Challenges". Though that word itself may be a little unsettling it is not always as bad as your fears.
These challenges are actually deemed as positive! For example, they are changes that you thought you would not be able to make happen, but they do happen. Challenging? Meaning well deserved or you worked hard for those results!
To those that are a little sensitive, you may be able to sense that "Change" is in the air. Part of this feeling you can credit to the crazy moon phases that we have seen so far. We are now out of one of the roughest Mercury Retrogrades that I have seen in a long time. THURSDAY APRIL 25th, we will all embrace what is known as the "PINK MOON". (Unfortunately you will not see this from the United States.) This simply means that the moon turns full under a lunar eclipse. This will actually send out a strong wave of positive energy!

April 2013 "Rants & Raves"
Yes, it does appear that I missed posting the "Rants & Raves" in the month of March! If you follow my blog, you will notice that I quit smoking on March 1st. YAY ME! For those that smoke, I hope you will take the time to read that blog, because it REALLY was not as bad as I thought it would be. I also had friends come in from New Jersey for a visit.
As I am lining up the month of April, it looks like my schedule for psychic readings is now back on track. I hope to schedule some time to get some updates up on my website soon. One thing that you will notice is that the link to the Body Wraps has disappeared. You can still find this product here. With revamping my schedule, I have decided to let this go as a distributor, though I still use their products. Since I have quit smoking I have started a new workout routine, so in a few weeks I will update you and let you know how that is going. (YES, I have quit smoking and loosing weight at the same time!)
In other news, I am super excited to announce that my daughter is expecting and due in November! I think at this point I will have to set up something for those that are guessing if it will be a boy or girl! (My weakness in psychic abilities is determining the sex of an unborn child!)
In April I am also excited to work with a local college student in her studies of psychic abilities and the paranormal. It appears that we will be spending some time together getting that college paper ready!
Monday night April 29th, I am live on the radio at KTKK AM630 Salt Lake City Utah for the Fringe Show. The call in number to the show is 801-254-5855, and I will get more information up on this as the time draws near.
I hope to get my spring newsletter out in the next week or so. If you wish to join the mailing list, please send me an email to Jackie@ms-swami.com. Until next time!

The "Mental" side to smoking
So, this is Day #26 for me and not smoking! The first thing you will want to do is buy
this book. (Under $10 at Amazon). A
friend gave it to me and you can read it while your still smoking. It will talk about all of your excuses and
how if you use willpower alone, you are setting yourself up for failure. It will also spend a lot of time talking
about becoming FREE. As in free from
nicotine. (As well as talking about the
fact that you will also find financial freedom which is not a bad thing!)
I was at a pack and a half a day until my mom got sick. Then I went to two packs a day.
This means that your ENTIRE day revolves around a
cigarette. When will you run out? When will you need to go to the store? Do you have enough money for your
cigarettes? Do they have a smoking
area? How long until you get a smoke
break? Can you smoke in their car? The last cigarette for the evening….and then
the cycle starts over.
In reality, it only takes 3 days to break your nicotine
addiction. After that, it is all
mental. The number one rule is IT IS
NOT OKAY TO HAVE JUST ONE!
Why? Because it is an
addiction! The same as an alcoholic
cannot just “Have one” drink.
So lets talk about the excuses:
I enjoy smoking.
No you don’t. No one likes
standing out in the weather to have a cigarette. After a few hours without one, they taste like crap and they
stink! No one enjoys spending his or
her money on cigarettes.
I would quit but I’m scared I will gain weight. (By the way, I think this is the WORST
excuse ever.) So this means as a
smoker, you are currently at your “Ideal” weight and would not change a
thing. (Didn’t think so!)
I will quit when I loose weight. If you haven’t done so by now, you’re not
going to and your kidding yourself.
It is the only bad habit that I have. Okay.
Wouldn’t you rather have a “Good” habit?
I am too stressed out right now. In reality smoking does not “Calm” your
nerves, you have brainwashed yourself into thinking it does. In actuality it raises your blood pressure.
I will quit right after…. Obviously you will not, lol.
In all honesty I have quit twice before. Once with Chantix, it was okay, but I still
had the “Urge” for a cigarette. Then I
quit on the gum, and it was the same way the urge was still there.
This time I have quit on the patch. (Doing the steps!) For the “Mental” of what to do with my hands, I have an electric
cigarette. (Careful, several of them
have nicotine, get the one that has blanks, or you will overdose with the
patch!) The electric cigarette, takes
the pressure off when I’m driving or join my friends in the smoking area. Oh yeah, get rid of EVERYTHING! Cigarette case, lighters, and ashtrays! (Remaining butts too, no dumpster
diving!) The patch REALLY takes the
edge off, I can tell the very hour it runs out. Yes, you are getting a small release of nicotine (Starting with
21mg, then 14mg, then 7mg, then nothing.)
But you are not getting anything else associated with smoking.
The do not’s:
DO NOT stay away from smokers! You need to learn to deal with it. Smoke your electric cigarette, and when you
find you would like to have one, or think you miss the smell, remind yourself
YOU ARE FREE, they are not.
DO NOT think you can only have one.
DO NOT use willpower alone. When you have the urge, set back and actually THINK about the
excuses above. Count how long you have
been without one. First the hours and
then the days!
DO NOT let people bother you. If they pick on you and offer you one,
remember THEY are the addicts, NOT you.
Now onto what I have noticed in 26 days:
My energy level is through the roof! (Started around Day 5). This is turn had me start a new workout
program. (So yes, I am smoke free AND
loosing weight!) I sleep better. I can take a deep breath like I never could
before. I am starting to notice the
smell of smoke on everything. And it
felt really great to fill out the forms at the dentist office as a non-smoker!
So what are you waiting on?
Set your quit date and stick with it!
Some thought my quit date was “Too soon” after my Mother’s death. Some thought I would change the date because
I was on vacation when it hit. Bottom
line, once the date was set, I stuck with it!
So when is your date????

February 2013 "Rants and Raves"
I am happy to report that I am actually writing this blog from the state of Georgia. I have spent the past week working from the Tennessee/Georgia line and have had a blast! A change of scenery is just what I needed!
I am back up to a normal schedule for psychic readings and Reiki. I will slowly begin to catch up with CVAPI and Central VA Psychic Development & Paranormal Research. I am REALLY excited to see that spring will hit March 20th!
We are currently under mercury retrograde and this one seems to be hitting pretty hard. It is normal to feel emotional or full of anxiety at this time. I have seen a lot of this going around this week.
New for the month of March and April, it looks like I will be able to offer live in person readings to some in the Virginia Beach area, Chesapeake VA, Williamsburg VA and a couple of towns in North Carolina. If you are in those areas, please send me an email at Jackie@ms-swami.com as the schedule is now underway.
I am playing catch up on emails and some things that I have put off in the last few weeks. If time permits I hope to be able to host another open house soon.
Thank you all for your condolences and your patience, while I get my office back on track. HAPPY SPRING EVERYONE! Until next time...
