Morning all, hope no one has melted in the rain! It's been an interesting summer so far to put it mildly, but the good news is that summer didn't officially kick in until 21st June so we've only lost three weeks of potential frying!
As you may have seen, Nicky and I are running a Spiritual Retreat in October at the wonderful and relaxing Buckland Hall in the Brecon Beacons, 5 minutes off a main A road, 20 minutes from Monmouth railway station, and yet the moment you get through the doors of the hall the modern world somehow ceases to exist.
As you walk into the Baronial Hall you're confronted by two roaring log fires surrounded by the kind of comfy sofas you have at home, or for those who are hot stuff a huge bay window that looks out over the surrounding hills and valleys of Wales. The gardens are amazing, the bedrooms are comfortable and as big as anything you'll see in a decent hotel; in fact far bigger than many hotels bedrooms of my acquaintance.
It's also one of the most Spiritual places I've ever been to, and the paranormal activity is friendly and comfortable.
Why though would you come on a course of this type? Why not just psychic mediumship development, or personal or Spiritual development? Why the mix?
The answer to those questions is because Nicky and I apply every aspect of our psychic mediumship work to our own lives - because it is applicable to being at work, having relationships, dealing with family, bringing up children (her not me, I just chase cats round the garden in the rain and clean up fur balls), and anything else you do between getting up and going to sleep. Oh...and understanding your dreams.
We both have close contact with our Guides Amos and Shanamaya (to name but two of our amazing team) and they are always there to give us advice on how to cope, often coming up with something we would never have considered, the gentle wisdom of which blows us away. There's no doubt in our minds that we're both better people because we have them to help us.
So when it comes to the psychic mediumship training, whether you want to be a worker in the Spiritual field or whether you would just like to be able to hear your life Guide or Guardian Angel, or feel the love from your loved ones and friends in the Spirit world, the training is useful.
If you've ever had paranormal experiences that have concerned you a course like this can also answer a number of questions, put your mind at rest, and you will learn about psychic protection and what is and is not a matter of concern. If you have a child showing psychic or mediumship tendencies it can be very useful to understand the field yourself and know where to go for guidance and help.
If you just want to handle people at work by being more understanding then the psychic exercises will be a great help, or if you want alternative means of guiding your life in the right direction other than trying to think logically, then learning about your intuition and finding out how strong it is will be very useful.
Spiritual development isn't a fluffy concept either, with the exception of the points mentioned above, it is real life development that works in the real world. If you learn to meditate you have means of calming your mind so that you can think. The body won't sleep if the mind won't relax, so meditating in bed can be an effective way of relaxing. Even if you don't sleep you can tell your body it is totally relaxed and resting and still bounce out of bed rejuvenated and ready to rock.
You can learn the difference between a dream and a lucid dream or even a Spiritual journey undertaken during the night, and you can learn how to understand the messages your mind and higher self (Spiritual aspect of you) are sending you.
You can learn how to react to people in a completely different way, and most importantly you can learn how to be happy. Yes, it is possible to learn how to be happy and feel that your glass is completely full 90% of the time. You can learn what else is available to you to support you through your life in order to have a bigger toolbox of help when you need it.
Here's another thing that might surprise you - I know beyond doubt, and so does Nicky, that she would have had a far harder time recovering from her accident of 2 years ago had she not been a Spiritual thinking. I have also changed completely from someone who suffered from permanent acute anxiety for over 20 years to someone who gets flashes of it when they get stressed or tired, and knows that's just a message to "Do Something!" about it.
Personal development may sound different, but naturally Spiritual development leads to personal development and magic happens in real life.
Lastly, you will know the difference between a psychic and medium and you will know whether you want to pursue any of the fascinating work available in the field.
When I say lastly I mean that loosely of course. I haven't even got to nature readings, walking meditations for those who can't sit still, fire readings, psychic games, inspirational speaking, colour readings, seeing auras, exploring healing, learning about holistic therapies, and all the many wonderful things we have at our disposal in our lives and want to share with you. And the new friends, there are always new friends on courses like this, which means that if so far you've felt very alone with your changing Spirituality you won't be when you leave Bucklands.
In case you haven't seen the advert it's £238 for the two days full board and all teaching, payable in 3 amounts £80 now, £80 in August, £78 in September. If we get over 33 people the September amount will be a bit less.
There it is, we so want to get our teaching going and start really helping people to improve their everyday lives and perfectly normal human abilities.
Wishing you happy days and peaceful nights
Deb and Nicky xx

Married to a Monster!
I am married to a monster! A nice monster but a heinous wretch all the same. Why you may ask? You may well ask!!!!
He uses my little car for trips to the recycling centre and promised on a stack of bibles and with his crown jewels in a vice that he would NEVER ever allow any eight legged creatures to set up home in my car.
Today I was driving to meet a friend when to my horror (and in the presence of much shrieking) a spider was doing the fandango across the windscreen in front of my very eyes! Up it went threatening to climb the roof and drop into my hair (I could tell it had that kind of cruel look about it), down it came to spin a neat little web across my line of vision, and all the time I'm trying to stay on the right side of the road and avoid the articulated trucks coming towards me.
I stopped to grab the wretched creature and deposit it in a hedge but of course the little tinker dropped rapidly off the windscreen and disappeared out of sight...until I started driving again when it reappeared from the crevice it had taken refuge in with an evil grin on it's chops and a glint in it's eye. "Where will I land next?" said the look.
Now it is true that it isn't actually a huge spider, in fact one might call it bijou and compact, but even a 1/4" arachnid is distracting when it's waving it's butt at you as you're driving and looking like it might have a big family secreted somewhere around your person. I know this because I swear it was singing the theme tune to Friends as I drove along!
Trouble is I can't kill it. So...
If anyone wishes to reach Tony Hawken this weekend he will be living in my car, clutching a glass and piece of card to trap the damned creature, and as soon as he exits the car I will have his special places in athat vice!
Enjoy the Jubilee everyone!
Wishing you happy days, peaceful nights and a spider-free life - unless you have one as a pet in which case I wish it nothing but well and a strongly sealed cage surrounded by 8 metres of electrified barb wire!

That's What Happens When You Get Busy!
I know that I have followers from several parts of the world who read my blog, and I have to apologise for being so absent from this site lately. I've been studying.
I've been writing a book for years and I realised that I wasn't actually doing it, just noodling around with a few words here and there but not committing myself, but I didn't know why.
Fortunately I saw an offer on the internet to join www.transformationalauthor.com for a set of free seminars and I have to say that it's been amazing, full of content and really useful information for aspiring writers, but it's also been hard work.
Each day I've listened to 2 hours of content, and the rest of my time has been taken up with putting into practice what I'm learning, and that for me has been the key step - doing something with the knowledge I have.
I think the moral of this story is that sometimes you have to take a step back from normal everyday life and do something completely different, enjoy what you're doing and really get into it, because it gives you a fresh perspective in life and maybe some fuel for your inner boiler of energy and enthusiasm.
I've enjoyed doing something different even if it's meant neglecting a few of my old stalwarts - not forever, but just to have a bit of a mental and emotional refresh!
Give that some thought, thank you for your continued support, and let me know what you choose to do to give your life a new coat of paint.
That website again is www.transformationalauthor.com, or look up Christine Kloser on Facebook.

Are You A (problem) Keeper or Solver?
Are your problems your best friends? "Of COURSE not!!!!" you're yelling at the computer screen, wondering if I'm completely and utterly nuts or have just lost my senses for a moment.
I'm neither, I'm a person who has worked with people on their problems for over 20 years and I can tell you that what I'm saying is true - many people hang onto their problems in the same way they hang on to a friend who may not be a positive force in their life but is better than no friend at all.
The way they do this is to complicate the problem out of all recognition until it's so big and difficult that it can't possibly be solved. They try to see into the future and imagine how they would solve the problem, and then get scared and don't solve the problem at all because the end result seems so huge.
Whereas problem solvers take a long hard look at the issue and then take it one step at a time until they solve it. Slowly and methodically.
One of the hardest things in life is to know yourself, warts and all, and trust yourself to be able to manage your own life. These are attributes that should be taught in schools alongside Maths and English, because those strengths would get you a lot further in life than purely academic abilities alone. But they're not, to the detriment of those who have gone before, those going through the system, and those yet to come. To my mind positive thinking and problem solving attitudes should be taught in schools.
So once we've been trained by the people in our past to be the person we are, now we have to take responsibility for that and change it. That's what I did and it's been a long road and sometimes a hard one, but from the day I made the decision that I would take out of my psyche all the things I'd been taught as 'truths' that I now knew a) weren't truths and b) were nothing to do with the person I am, everything has been that much easier.
How to do it though? I can only suggest simple steps in a blog.

How to do it though? I can only suggest simple steps in a blog.
- Keep a journal and note whether you're a positive or negative thinker (remember, you don't always need to think negatively about difficult issues, you can think positively in a difficult situation).
- Focus on happiness and nice things. Really notice all the good around you, the birds, the flowers, the rainbows, the opportunities to go out and have fun.
- Go out and have fun.
- Read loads of books by 'thinkers' and build a mindset that is all your own.
- Go to see many inspirational speakers and find out what makes them tick and why.
These are good starting points because you have to change you in order to change your mind. You don't want to be leaping in trying to change yourself all at once. That simple step of journal keeping will tell you where you are emotionally. The focusing on happiness will fill your mind with much better thoughts and that alone will put you in a positive space for dealing with your life. Having fun will turn you into a fun person whose glass is always half full. Other ideas will give you just that, other ideas to have in your head rather than the negative ones that have been taking up space.
The last big fear to be dealt with is "who am I without my problems?" There's an entire book or counselling year in that, but here's a simple answer to start working with - someone happier. Imagine that! Imagine that every day, spend mind time thinking about it, feeling how it would be, visualising how you would live if you were happier, make it so real you can feel it and guess what? It will happen.
Just snuck another step in there.
Wishing you happy days, peaceful nights and no...oh what was the word..p...por...pro...no it's gone out of my head!

Viva La (Psychic) Difference!
I'm not a person who launched into or has ever done this work purely for the buzz it's given me, like everything I do in life I think deeply about what I'm doing. I examine my motives for doing it, and I work to ensure that I do my absolute best for my clients at all times.
Over the years I've become aware that I'm a very different Psychic Reader to most people but I've never understood why. I give what I'm given through the cards or what I pick up from their aura, and that's all I can give because that's what's there to be shared.
Many clients have come back to me telling me that everything I said in the last Reading I did for them has come true, and I know of at least two people who met their current partners in exactly the month I said that love would come in. However, I still don't understand why some Psychics seem to work mainly on predicting the future and I don't, and I know there are others like me.
When I have a problem like that I always put it over to the Spirit World and ask my Guide, Amos, to help me understand the plan. This morning I woke up with the answer.
I don't work purely on the surface level, which is to say working on the obvious such as when will love come into someone's life, in exactly what month should they leave their job, telling them yes and no about moving home. I work at an emotional and soul level.
Everyone is here to live their own life and to create that life to their own satisfaction and happiness. We all know that the right two people can meet, and then mess it up spectacularly later on. We all know that the right job can turn up but the wrong mindset within that job will always find fault with it and make it difficult.
I realise that I've told many clients over the years that things other psychics told them didn't work out because of deeper emotional reasons going on with them - not with other people. You see, you can believe that things keep going wrong for you, particularly romance, because you attract the wrong people all the time. Whilst that is partly true, it will mainly be because there is something going on with your feelings and approach to life that creates an attraction to the wrong people in the first place.
So no matter how much bounty and happiness you're promised, if you have blocks to accepting the joy in life then it will be really hard for you to find the joy that you deserve. That's where I come in with my work. Helping people to identify their underlying life and soul issues so that they're ready to jump on any brilliant opportunity that comes their way, and not so busy looking on the dark side of life that they don't see the flash of light that passes them heading on to find someone who was watching.
I've also had to deal with a fair number of clients who have received negative predictions and are now officially terrified of the future. However, when I look into it for them I usually discover that there are positive ways to avoid much of the mess they've been promised because nothing is written in stone until you write it. Sometimes, sadly, it isn't possible to be positive but that's very very rare and there is always coping advice that can be given to support the person through that time.
I now know that my job is to help people deal with their lives on that emotional level, to help them clear the blocks within them, deal with problems confronting them in a positive way, and enable them to manage their own emotional, Spiritual and physical lives successfully and with minimal assistance by teaching them simple techniques for managing life.
Wishing you happy days, peaceful nights, and plenty of happiness and relaxation

Living with Laughter
As you probably know by now, I'm a co-creator of "The Do Something! Tour" (c) with my friend Nicky Marshall. The Tour is about helping people in the audience work out simple solutions to everyday problems and irritations so that they can leave the event with an action plan for change.
After much thought and consideration we decided to try to make the Tour and it's work as funny and light as possible. It was a difficult call because you would never want anyone to think that you were trivialising the things in life that upset them, but by the same token we've realised that the heavier and deeper you get into problems the worse they become. Whereas on an evening where much laughter is shared amongst the wisdomness and inspiration we get better results and feedback.
This taught us that most people don't want to take ordinary life problems too seriously, they want to feel light and energised and able to deal with them. If you think about it this makes sense, the lighter you feel the easier it is to lift yourself above your problems and see the road ahead without them. The more miserable you are the bigger problems become, until the point where a broken fingernail or ladder in your tights, scratch on the car or red wine on the tie, become unendurable in the greater scheme (or should I say mess) of things.
So if you want to come to a Do Something! Tour event or workshop, or listen to our Radio Show on Paramania Radio, remember that there will be a lot of laughter and giggles shared to add that spoon full of sugar that makes the medicine go down oh so sweetly.
After all, laughter is the best medicine!
Wishing you happy days, peaceful nights and giggles.

The Do Something! Tour (c) Newsletter - Introducing the Hagony Aunts!
In the not-too-distant future - in other words as soon as our nail polish is dry - Nicky and I will be putting digit to keyboard and sharing a fictional and humorous look at life's challenges and irritations.
The letters to the Hagony Aunts will be based on fictitious letters from people who don't exist but despite their non-existence still suffer from life's bug-a-boos and chaos. We will be answering those people who aren't there in an entirely humorous manner whilst dropping a few pearls of real wisdom in amongst the giggles.
Email us at dosomethingtour@gmail.com if you'd like to be inspired by laughter.
The more the merrier!
