Grounding

When a person is ungrounded, even though their physical body is connected to the earth, the rest of the energy may be up and out of the body. This can be caused by rushing around, having to think fast for long periods, stress, excitement and not feeling safe - many of which are common characteristics of modern daily life.

If you forget to drink water or don't notice you are tired, you may have temporarily lost your connection with your body, and therefore the earth. When people are ungrounded they can experience poor concentration; scattered thoughts; anxiety; they are unable to take direction or remember instructions; they pick up other people's energy easily and are therefore easily affected by moods or difficult siuations; and are more prone to stress.

Good practical activities to increase ground include: cleaning your home, tidying up (- and throwing out!), baking/cooking and gardening.

Palmistry: creativity and depression

In palmistry, the head line (running across hand from thumb joint, in between the heart and the life line) represents a person's thought processes and the quality of their mental energy. 

For example, the head line may indicate whether a person has a rational/logical or creative/intuitive approach to life, or whether they make quick decisions or like to take time ponder and reflect. If the head line is islanded or chained the person's thinking can be clouded, or there can be a lack of confidence or insecurity for a period of time. Things to consider:

Long - Reasoning powers, ability to process abstract ideas, 
philosophical, (scientist, writer, researcher).
Short - Faster decisions (boxer, fighter pilot, stock market trader), acts then thinks.
Straight - Rational, logical (mathematician, academic).

Curved downwards (see right) - creative, imaginative, sees world in a symbolic way, but more prone to moods, fleeting melancholy or depression. Commonly found on people working in the creative industries, but also people from other walks of life who may not classify themselves as exclusively creative (e.g. a full-time mother who enjoys flower arranging, a landscape gardener who dislikes art).

A curved head line that droops into the Luna mount indicates someone who is at home in the world of intuition, dreams, archetypes, colour, imagination and may have creative talent or at least 'a good eye'.

As with all aspects of palm reading, individual markings must be read in the context of the whole hand and any 'balancing' features taken into account.

Tea @ Camden Passage, London

I spied these beautiful original tea cups and matching saucer sets at the end shop in Camden Passage, Islington, London. Though cups that have a clear white interior are ideal for tea leaf reading these beauties would be make tea drinking a very refined and dainty experience indeed.

Psychic Advice Sought By A New Generation of Urban Male Professionals

Just as men visit the gym to take care of their bodies, many are now following the lead of Brad Pitt and turning to psychics for guidance on life's deeper issues.

Whereas 10 years ago it tended to be women who sought psychic information, I'm surprised how many young professional males are now using my psychic services. In the past only women would admit to visiting a psychic yet many male clients come to see me for reasons including business decisions, relationships, career advice, family issues, major life changes - or simple curiosity. These clients come from all walks of life and all nationalities.

Property development company director, William, 27, is now a devotee despite initial doubts. He says: "I would have dismissed psychic readings as 'hocus pocus' a couple of years ago. I had plenty of misconceptions prior to my visit and initially I expected it to be about 'you'll have four kids, marry twice etc, etc'. I couldn't have got this more wrong."

Paul, 28, a construction estimator, agrees: "I had always been reluctant to have a psychic reading due to fear. Yet, at the time of my reading with Amber, I had been encountering a particularly frustrating set of circumstances in my personal and working life. Her reading forewarned me of a number of challenging events but the biggest surprise was the sense of calm that it brought."

Kevin, 39, a personal assistant in a technology sales company, was also initially sceptical. He says: "I feared that seeing a psychic would be waste of time and money and I would still be in the same position as before. I was surprised at how accurate my reading was, about my career, my relationships and my demeanour."

To some visiting a psychic is an integral part of a modern urban lifestyle and it seems that some of the younger generation of working males feel no embarrassment about sharing this information with friends. James, managing director of a London-based event planning, concierge and PR company, says: "I was interested in trying something different and I was intrigued by the experience. I feel confident discussing my visit with friends." William agrees: "Society is less macho now and less judgemental. Psychic advice and healing no longer needs to be whispered about."

Yet the popular misconception that only gullible people seek psychic advice still causes some to hesitate. As Kevin admits: "If I'm honest I wouldn't feel comfortable telling people, especially friends, that I had visited a psychic. In fact I haven't told anyone as I think it's a private affair. Society is changing and is becoming more open to a great many things. However, I still feel that society may look at men seeking psychic advice or healing as being weak or different from the norm."

Psychic protection for highly sensitive people

 
People will sometimes come to see me who have 'the gift' of extreme sensitivity to the world around them. This is commonly shown as little fine lines all over the hand. I do believe sensitivity to be a gift, but it is one that needs to be managed - especially when a HSP lives and works in a city as frenetic as London. I have adapted some of the ideas presented by esteemed psychic Judy Hall (see below) and added my own combinations to make 5 tips for protecting your energy throughout the day.

Free protection for sensitive people PDF:

Download Protection-for-Sensitive-People-by-Amber-Garnet.pdf

Recommended reading:

An informative and highly recommended book for sensitive people is 'The Highly Sensitive Person: How to Survive and Thrive When the World Overwhelms You' by Elaine N Aran (Thorsons, 1999). This is a very easy to read and no-nonsense guide to what it is like to be very sensitive and how to manage that gift.

Judy Hall (left) has written a comprehensive guide to psychic protection that stears away from common misunderstanding that being 'psychicly attacked' happens when people are deliberately out to harm us. The author explains that often 'psychic attack' can be an unconscious exchange between the attacker and so-called 'victim', and is most often experienced as an energy drain.

Hindu Elephant God Ganesh

If I need to overcome an obstacle I pray to Hindu Elephant God Ganesh to great effect. For example, when running very late due to travel delays minor miracles seem to happen, with Ganesh's help. I found this proud and wonderfully kitsch statue in Pune, India, in 2007.

Thrilled to see my illustrations exhibited in a public place after spending so much time perfecting them indoors (doing 'solitary time'). My Private View was very quiet, however I sold a piece - and got some encouraging comments, so I was satisfied.

The art exhibition runs until mid-February 2010.

A Reading as a Psychic Gift

The modern psychic has finally left the profession's 'end of the pier' image behind and often comes armed with a range of psychic tools gained from years of training. However, psychic readings are now just as likely to be purchased as a 'treat', similar to a day at the spa, a new hair cut or a massage, as for more serious matters.

A psychic reading is an exciting, unusual and unforgettable present. Though people generally see me about specific issues and for guidance, I also see people who just want to try a new experience or who have been bought a reading as a gift. Mostly these are a mix of people who either already have an interest, or people who would never dream of visiting a psychic in a million years.

Psychic readings are bought online through my website by mothers, daughters, friends, husbands and wives who are looking for something a little different. As more clients started buying readings for loved ones, I began to offer personalised gift vouchers. For someone who is curious but would be too shy to book an appointment themselves, a psychic reading is a welcome surprise. It's a chance for them to do something different, exciting, unusual and perhaps unforgettable.

As it is often a once in a lifetime experience people can feel a mixture of nerves and anticipation leading up to their reading. However, they usually leave feeling pampered. As Katy Regan, writer and former Features Editor of Marie Claire magazine, says: "My session with Amber had all the feel good factor of a therapy session, the indulgence of a massage and the wisdom of your oldest, bestest friend in one."

As part of my gift package I provide a personalised pack and voucher card (above right) for the recipient. A recording of the session is also posted on specially designed and packaged CD Rom after the reading.

To arrange, contact me (Amber) by telephone 020 3 287 8383 or email: info(at)ambergarnet(dot)co(dot)uk

Psychic readings, London, July 2009

 

"Thank you very much for the in-depth reading - Amber has a kind heart and an insightful mind, and I learnt much more about myself and my directions after the palm reading."

Psychic reading for private client, feedback via online feedback form, July 2009.

"Having a reading with Amber is like spending time with an old friend who knows you very well. It reminds you who you are and puts you back in touch with the real you and helps you remember who you are in a crazy world. Amber is able to put you at ease and is very good at what she does. My favourite part was the palm reading which I found really useful."

Psychic reading for private client, feedback form, July 2009.

Palm Readings, London, June 2009

"Let me just say that I have never had a reading or met Amber before, but boy was she spot on with the palm reading. Especially me having certain health issues and my personality traits were picked up by her. This is before I had even mentioned them to her! I really enjoyed it and would highly recommended her to anyone and everyone."

Palm reading feedback via online form from LAP guest, June 2009, London.

 

"Amber is very nice, understanding and professional. I was a bit nervous at the beginning but soon after I felt at ease. I'm pleased that I went... palm reading, tarot and Reiki - all this took place in my session for 50 minutes and more. Good location and easy to find... I thank you Amber."

Palm reading feedback via online feedback form, June 2009, London.

"Thanks again for the great session! This was something I had always wanted to try, and it was a great experience. I really appreciated you recording the session - by knowing that I could always go back and listen to something in more detail, I was better able to tone down the analytical part of my mind and instead focus on the whole experience of the readings."

Palm reading feedback via online feedback form, June 2009, London.

"It was so nice to meet you the other day. It was fantastic experience to find out something new about myself! Thank you!"

Palm reading feedback via online feedback form, June 2009, London.

"I found your reading very positive and a great reminder to the potential that I know is inside me (and indeed all of us). Thank you! Wish me luck and you will see me again Amber."

Psychic London escapes: Vision Quest, Pyrennees

Anybody can have a spiritual experience when spending a few days alone with just a tent and nature. Yet what particularly inspired me was a need to overcome a fear of being alone in an isolated location through the night.

On the first night there were sounds like aeroplanes coming in to land and lots of flashing lights. I felt like I had unwittingly wandered into a scene from Close Encounters of the Third Kind, but then realised it was a massive electrical storm coming over the valley. Over the next 5 hours (until 4am) branches fell off nearby trees and the resident horses of the adjoining fields ran up and down excitedly in the dark. Had to keep switching my torch to make sure the tent wasn't about to get trampled. This along with the lack of food (water only diet) contributed to a rather trance-like state the following day. I had always wanted to spend a night camping all alone and dared myself to do it, but by second night I was too tired to be scared of the shadowy gloom. By third morning I was almost too weak to stand so lurched back to base at 8am for a cup fo tea and some coconut macaroons.

A great book on how to create your own Vision Quest is Denise Linn's Vision Quest (Ballantine, February 1998).

Friendly horse.

Was it an eagle or a buzzard? It was very large and kept swooping me as I stood still in the field. It had young nearby so was on the defensive. As it swooped past me I felt wind on my cheeks and there was a whooshing sound.

Woodland path leading back to base. My love affair with trees continues...

Art of Living

"It's as easy as breathing." I thought, and placed myself down on the mat in a basement gym near Paddington. I felt a little impatient as the Art of Living teachers began to run through stories and anecdotes on spiritual living and good practice, and I felt conscious that I hadn't signed up for a course of motivational speaking. I worried that this week long commitment of 3 hours each evening would perhaps be a waste of time and that my energies might be better spent elsewhere.

Sri Sri Ravi Shankur (- remember him? The sitar player of the Beatles' fame? Nora Jones' dad?) set up the Art of Living in 1985 and it has become one of the fastest growing NGOs in the world with over 20 million people being involved in it's work worldwide. It is run almost entirely by volunteers who are dedicated to "creating peace and fostering human values". It receives money from the United Nations and it's proponants straddle all sectors of society from business people, entertainers and sports stars, to ordinary people like me. My teacher, as I would later find out, had turned down the Indian Cricket team that week so that she could continue to teach our rag-bag class. The Team had specifically requested her prior to their qualifying games at Lords cricket ground; yet she honoured her committment to our development. Okay, I conceded, maybe these people really do walk their talk.

We were taught a distinctive and very intense breathing technique called the Sudarshan Kriya®, which is used - in a different form - in yoga. This technique caused me a lot of pain but the results were noticeable. During the week I got headaches, dizziness and a range of uncommon emotions (anger, sadness) which I felt dated back to certain issues I had at school in my late teens - which I began to project upon my unknowing Art of Living teachers. They persevered with me however and explained this was all part of the process of clearing and healing that the Kriya is renouned for. It certainly seemed to allow issues to surface which would have taken longer than if other therapeutic methods had been used (e.g. counselling).

I came out of the week understanding the power of breath. However, the Art of Living Sudarshan Kriya technique is supposed to be practised for approximately 1/2 hour each morning, preferably at dawn. I experienced the power of this rigorous technique first hand, but I haven't replaced my 10 minutes daily silent sitting meditation. That, followed a nice cup of tea, is a much gentler start to the day - and one I can get used to.

Art of Living courses take place year round, at different locations in the UK and abroad. For more information visit: http://uk.artofliving.org/

Palm Reading: Michael Jackson

I was asked to do a reading for Michael Jackson based on photographs supplied by a news agency. The agency then syndicated several stories based on my reading to publications across Europe. Unfortunately, it seemed that I was misquoted in several of the stories that ran. For the record I didn't say that he was a liar (- honestly, I'm a fan. I even own a copy of This Is It!). Hopefully Michael Jackson fans will forgive me. Note to self: be more careful in future.

Lost Art of Palmistry Events, London

I hosted The Lost Art of Palmistry evenings every Wednesday from 1st April throughout 2009 at The Old China Hand, Islington, London. I gave a free 30 minute introduction to the wonders of palmistry plus personal 5 minute palm readings to members of the public who were new to palm reading.

The palmistry events were well attended and enjoyable. It was interesting to meet and be challenged by new Meetup.com members. It was an opportunity for me to sharpen up my palmistry skillss and deal with difficult questions. The meet up group was very mixed; ranging from the curious to those who already have some knowledge.

Tea leaf reading, London

 

“We used Amber for two media days to help with the launch of a tea product. Her tea leaf readings were fabulously entertaining and interesting to media, so much so that we had to turn journalists away as there wasn’t enough time in the day to see everyone! We received many positive comments on Amber’s tea leaf reading abilities and I would happily recommend her to others.”

London Psychic escapes: nature healing

I escaped London for some nature healing at Barden Lake in Haysden Country Park, Tonbridge, Kent today. I was surprised by the cold beauty of it all. I lived in Tonbridge many years ago (1991) and would have loved to have known about this nature reserve then. These photographs look like they have been retouched but the sun really was that bright (- I have not used Photoshop!)

Palm reading for Libby Purves, presenter of BBC Radio 4's Midweek, in BBC Portland Place studios in 1996. The programme had just finished airing after a lively debate. (Fortunately Libby was not phased by my rather alarming hair-style and she gamely agreed to pose for the camera!). I have been a regular BBC Radio 4 Midweek listener ever since.

Celtic spirituality, Ireland

 

A place of pilgrimage to many from across the world, southern Ireland is awash with pre-Christian archeological sites (stone circles, burial mounds, ancient fortresses) and early Christian memorials (abbeys, monestaries, churches, grave architecture).

Relics to the power of the Celtic Tiger were in evidence during our visit and we were surprised how much Polish culture (shops, bars and restaurants) had been absorbed into the Gaelic towns and villages. (Apparently Ireland's recent problems are leading many Poles to now return to their homeland.)

I met a wonderful sensitive called Sylvia Shirley during my visit and we shared an afternoon discussing our appreciation of faeries.
