Here’s how to spot the signs that you’re being sweet-talked. This story is based on a true experience. This person asked me to share her story to protect you. I have changed her name for privacy.

The Department Store Scam:

Tiffany is shopping for perfume. She’s in her own world, trying different scents. She heads over to a display stand and tries to select the right shade of blush when a woman interrupts her focus.

"I think that shade of pink would look great on you," said a dark haired woman dressed in casual attire.

"You do?" Tiffany said, caught off guard. She picks the color the stranger suggested, even though it doesn’t feel right in her gut.

"You look sad. Is everything okay?" the woman said.

"Yes," Tiffany said, although she didn’t sound sure.

This gave the woman confirmation that indeed Tiffany may have a weak spot. "I see your soul mate coming to you, all will turn out well," she said.

Tiffany’s heart skipped a beat. This was the best news she’d heard all day and she had been wondering only minutes before when she’d meet "The One". She softened.

The woman knew now was her time to strike. "The only thing is I see you have a blockage in your heart and until you clear it, you will be alone."

Tiffany’s heart crashed into her stomach. Her mind flashed forward to being 80-years-old and alone. "Oh no. What can I do?" she said.

The woman smiled inside as she saw Tiffany turn white. "I’m a psychic. I can help," the woman said.

"How?" Tiffany said.

"I can remove the curse".

"Curse?!" Tiffany said.

"Yes, when it is removed you will meet your Soul Mate."

"But I’m not cursed," Tiffany said.

"I can see the energy block in your aura. I can remove it." The woman could see Tiffany was considering her services. "It will only cost $450.00. We should do this immediately. I can see you tomorrow for an appointment."

Thankfully Tiffany regained her sense of awareness and declined a session. Her gut instinct said this woman was a fraud but she was traumatized by the woman’s words. They haunted her for the next few days. What if it were true? Was she cursed? Would she be alone forever?

Her logical mind knew that she had been targeted for a scam. When we spoke I confirmed that this woman was a fraud. Tiffany explained how she’d been approached in department stores several times in the past however not in such a Machiavellian way.

These psychic con artists are hanging out in shopping malls, airports, popular coffee shops and on the beach. Make sure you stay alert. If you’re approached by someone claiming to be a psychic reader and they try to solicit you in a public place tell them, "Next".

Always do your research to make sure you get a reading from a reputable psychic. It’s best to get a referral. Check out their website and ask questions before you book a session so you know that they’ve got your best interests at heart.

A) I’m never going to meet my soul mate

Please do not give up if you relate to any or all of the above comments...]]> Do you believe in Soul Mates or have you lost hope?

Are you someone who believes:

A) I’m never going to meet my soul mate

B) I used to believe in soul mates until I had a string of frustrating relationships

C) I’m not meeting anyone I like at all!

Please do not give up if you relate to any or all of the above comments. Believe me, I know, I’ve been there and it hurts. The good news is you can attract a soul mate. It’s not too late!

Would you like to know about the different type of soul mate relationships that exist? Why they exist? How to create the best relationships for yourself?

Remember you have FREE WILL.

Here are 3 tips to ensure you call in the right mate and that you make you’re present relationships the best they can be.

1) Treat Yourself with Love

Some people think this means they will become self absorbed and selfish. Then they feel guilty and self criticism kicks in. Oh the voice of that inner critic is so very quiet. Deadly subtle at times, they don’t even notice it. Can you relate?

When was the last time you took really good care of yourself?

My recommendations:

a) Book a lovely spa treatment
b) Arrange a hike with a friend in the fresh air
c) Have some quality time with your best friend (turn your cell phone off and be fully present)

Why do any of the above suggestions?

Because they get you in touch with your soul. When you’re connected to your soul desires this leads to;

2) Listen to Your Soul and You’ll Meet Your Ideal Mate

You have to know what you want. If you’re not clear about who you wish to spend your days with, you’re not going to get what you want. Get quiet and listen inside.

When you love yourself, take good care of yourself, you develop a sense of inner peace. This allows you to be specific about how you wish to spend your time and who you want to hang out with.

3) You Have to Believe Your Soul Mate Exists

You’ve done steps 1 and 2 and hopefully your soul is sensing the potential of a special soul mate. This is when the self sabotage is likely to kick in.

"I’ll never meet someone tall, dark and handsome. If I do, there’s got to be a snag. He’ll leave me, be unfaithful. I’ll get bored".

The little self-sabotaging voice goes on and on until it wears down your positive expectations. What’s the outcome? You don’t meet anyone or you end up disappointed.

Be optimistic. Even if it feels weird. Look in the mirror and appreciate your beauty. SMILE : )

There is a soul mate out there just for you.

With the success and popularity of "The Secret" there has been a backlash that it is all hype and the principles do not work. I strongly disagree. I believe the Law of Attraction does work! There are a series of steps that you must to take to get the results you desire...]]> Does visualization really work?

With the success and popularity of "The Secret" there has been a backlash that it is all hype and the principles do not work. I strongly disagree. I believe the Law of Attraction does work! There are a series of steps that you must to take to get the results you desire. I think some people are taking the information literally and then giving up on the process because they’re not getting immediate gratification. Our society is now, now, now, faster, faster, faster, why? why? why?

Would you like to know the first most important step to get what you want? Do you notice a little voice in your head? "Yes, duh, of course I do but it doesn’t work. As much as I’d like to believe. I’m not getting the results."

I know some of you are getting results however, what if you could get reach your goals faster? What if you achieved beyond what you believe you are capable of? What if you had ideas, concepts, projects and inventions that made a profound impact in the world?

Step #1 PERSISTENCE
"Never never never give up" Winston Churchill

I carry that quote with me on a 3×5 index card to drum it into my unconscious mind. Whenever I feel fear rise up within me, I pull out that card and read the sentence three times. I immediately feel the tension in my body release. My emotions settle and a burst of energy gives me resolve to keep going.

So what’s this got to do with Jay Leno?

During my recent trip to the gorgeous countryside of Massachusetts for my husband’s Prep School Reunion at Northfield Mount Hermon, I began to evaluate my life. We stayed on campus and being in the environs of educational life evoked distant memories. I felt nostalgic. I didn’t have regrets. However, a sense of urgency arose within me to achieve way beyond my current accomplishments. Set new goals. Challenge myself. Believe in myself.

I began writing my Life plan. I closed my eyes and focused inwards. A big goal of mine is to be an international best selling author. I asked myself, "Who would I love to be interviewed by when that happens?" Jay Leno immediately sprung to mind. I love "The Tonight Show". Which led me to:

Step #2 My Visualization Process
"Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, the mind can achieve" Napoleon Hill

So I wrote down my goal "Be interviewed by Jay Leno". I imagined what it would be like talking with him and the fun we’d be having and the specifics of the conversation. The reality is it was rather wild. I’ll tell all in a little while!

It’s important to combine step #1 by being persistent in your visualization process. You don’t do it once and then think, "My goal didn’t happen, this visualization stuff doesn’t work". Consistent persistence is key!

During my week’s stay in Massachusetts, I imagined talking with Jay while I was running laps on the track, in the car driving around Boston, sitting on the plane flying back to Los Angeles, even while I was brushing my teeth. I was inspired by Sam Walton’s tenacity when I read his autobiography "Made in America". Even when I felt a little bit silly imaging chatting with Jay Leno, I silenced my inner critic and told myself "Why not? I’m interesting, talented and have a good heart."

What do you do when your still hear the self-sabotaging voice? Keep visualizing and tap into the feeling of optimism that if it’s for the highest good, your wish will come to fruition.

Step #3 ACTION
"Everything you want is just outside your comfort zone" Robert Allen

Believing is not enough. You have to take physical steps to get the results you desire. As much as I’d like opportunities to land in my lap, I’ve discovered that by having willingness to take action and walking my talk, doorways open.

Well here’s the fabulous door that opened. Two days after we arrived home from Boston, my husband Nick and I are sitting on the sofa and the phone rings. It’s his Mom Jane. "We’ve been invited to go on the Jay Leno show on Friday do you want to go?" Nick said.

"Yes!" I said, leaping into the air.

Nick didn’t understand why I was this excited. I hadn’t told him I’d been doing this visualization process for days. I was in awe at the coincidence of events that I prefer to perceive as synchronicity.

I woke up on Friday like a child on Christmas Day. "We’re going to "The Tonight Show" I squealed. I wanted to enjoy every moment of this. I had so much fun. Scott who worked on the show, gave up the royal tour of the lot at NBC. It was inspiring seeing the costume department and the area where future sets were being built. Finally we entered the studio and my heart leaped in joy as I was lead to my seat in the second row. In my mind, it was a fortuitous sign that I would indeed, be interviewed by Jay at a later date.

"My visualization worked gorgeous, it worked!" I said, grabbing at Nick’s arm. I remembered how I’d been sitting on the plane and imaging this moment a couple of days before. Why not do a little more?

As people milled into the studio, I took one good long look at the stage and then I turned behind me to take in the details of the audience before I closed my eyes. I took several deep breaths into my body and pretended that I was up on stage with Jay having a fabulous conversation about my book "Unleash The Psychic In You".

I opened my eyes and felt content of the possibility I would talk to him at a later date. Moments later Jay Leno came out onto the set. The audience whooped and cheered. I could hardly contain myself. Now this is where step #3 is super important. Visualization is great however you have to take action.

Would you like to know how I ended up on stage?

"Would anyone like to come on up?" Jay said.

This is why I used the Robert Allen’s quote "Everything you want is just outside your comfort zone".

I leaped out of my seat, raised my hand and shouted "Me, Jay, I do!" I couldn’t believe I did that. I was setting myself up for rejection, feeling foolish. What if he blanked me? In that moment, which felt excruciatingly drawn out, I saw how the persistent practice of visualizing had created such a strong desire in me at an unconscious level. Despite my conscious fear of being embarrassed, I took action and asked for what I desired.

"The tall enthusiastic blond, come join me," Jay said.

"Yes!" I made my way quickly onto the set.

"What’s your name?" Jay said.

"Joanna," I said.

"And where are you from Joanna?" Jay said.

"London, England" I said.

"Oh, London, England!" Jay said mimicking my British accent.

"Yes Jay," I said.

"And what do you do?" Jay said.

"I’m a Psychic Expert," I said.

"Oohh!" The audience responded, intrigued.

"So if you were really psychic, you’d know that I wanted you to spank me," Jay said.

"No problem Jay, I can do that right now," I said.

I lent forward and pretended to slap Jay’s butt several times, with my husband standing next to me. It was hilarious. I was having such a blast. We talked for a few more minutes and then had a Polaroid taken of the three of us.

Before I left the stage I told Jay sincerely how much I love his work. I had a strong sense right then that I would be back on the show at a later date sitting in the hot seat talking about my best selling book.

Tip #1

Connect to Intention. Dr Wayne Dyer is a great inspiration to me. I love his book, "The Power of Intention"...]]> You are psychic. You can use your psychic awareness to improve your daily life and you can share your psychic gift by helping others! How do I begin?

Tip #1

Connect to Intention. Dr Wayne Dyer is a great inspiration to me. I love his book, "The Power of Intention". Through intention, I created an affirmation that I suggest you write down on a 3 X 5 card and read upon rising in the morning and before going to sleep at night to imprint this goal into the unconscious part of your mind. The affirmation is "Every day, I am becoming more and more psychic".

Tip #2

You have to believe that you are psychic. When I first began psychic reading, I wondered if I was making up the information for my clients. I thought that perhaps I had a wild imagination! Fear would creep in for me because I wanted to get it right. Internally I felt paralyzed when I shared the things I was seeing, hearing, feeling. I focused on accessing the quality of TRUST. I connected to the small quite voice within that said "Joanna, it’s okay, give the information and all will turn out well." When I heard the other voice "You’re making it up. Don’t say it, you’ll look stupid!"

Tip #3

PRACTISE! PRACTISE! PRACTISE! The way I overcame my fear was to keep psychic reading. After each reading, I received confirmation that the information was correct. The more I read, the more confident I became and so now over 1,000 psychic readings later, I still hear the voice of doubt inside however the voice of trust is more strongly developed inside me. I acknowledge the voice of doubt and I do not follow its instruction. Do not give up, the psychic pathway is a rich and rewarding experience!

Tip #4

Open your heart and your mind to being a receiver. Visualize the top of your head as a "radio antennae" that can pick up psychic transmissions through the airwaves. Radio waves are invisible to the human eye yet we know they exist or how would we hear people and music on the radio? Let your senses pick up on the unseen energies that exist around you.

Tip #5

Breathe! I cannot stress this enough. As you awaken your psychic senses, you will notice that you become more sensitive. You may experience these feelings because your mind, body and soul will be attracting more energy than it is used to feeling. By the simple action of deep focused breaths, you will clear any excess energy enabling you to remain calm and centered.

Tip #6

Meditation! I do some form of meditation every day. You may like to try a guided meditation CD to help you focus. Many of my clients have told me that they find it hard to sit, be still and meditate, too many thoughts arise for them and they feel bad that they cannot be perfect at meditation. There is no such thing as a perfect meditation! You could try "Soul Abundance" my guided meditation CD. It takes you on a powerful inner journey through visualization that will definitely heighten your psychic senses!

Tip #7

Listen! Do you notice how much inner chatter is constantly active inside your head? Are you aware of the thoughts you are having? I suggest you practice active listening. It is amazing how this simple action brings your focus inwards. As you hear your thoughts, observe them, do not judge. You will be able to assess how positive or negative your thoughts are and that you can have positive and negative occur simultaneously. This exercise will better prepare you for clairaudience, known as the ability of psychic listening.

Tip #8

Focus! Do you find yourself easily distracted? Are you fully conscious and aware in your environment right now? Focus upon being present in your environment. Observe what surrounds you. Listen to the multitude of sounds. Feel how the air touches your skin. Close your eyes for a moment and watch from an inner stance the activity that is occurring within you. With this knowledge, your psychic ability will strengthen!

Tip #9

Tone "Om" several times or sing your favorite songs in the shower. This is an excellent way to clear the body of any blocked energy. Not only does it open the throat chakra for psychic reading, you will fine tune your energy field in preparation for receiving psychic information effortlessly from your guides!

Tip #10

Exercise! The more psychic you become, the more energy is channeled through your body. Yoga is a wonderful way to release any blockages from your mind, body and soul. When I started the practice of yoga, it opened my third eye, the space between my eyebrows to clairvoyance meaning to see things psychically. I would see colors dancing in my inner vision. It was amazing! You can do it to!
