My psychic sidekick (and how YOU can get your virtual palm read!).

Happy Friday, blog buddies!!!

Okay, so I know today’s blog is being posted SUPER early, but don’t fret — there will be another blog entry posted later today. I just wanted to get the word out about something ASAP.

WHAT?!? WHY?!? WHAT’S HAPPENING?!?

Calm down, blog buddies, and let me explain!

A few years ago at a street festival called Sunset Junction held every summer in the Silverlake district of Los Angeles, a woman handed me her card and said something like, “I’m a psychic and a fan and I’d love to do a reading for you sometime”.

Usually, if a stranger said that to me and handed me her card, I would be kinda creeped out. But this time was different — she didn’t seem crazy, she didn’t seem opportunistic, she didn’t seem like she was trying to swindle me. Rather, she seemed — for lack of a better word — legit.

Still, I never called. I held onto her card for a bit, but eventually lost it.

Yesterday afternoon I got an email saying something like, “I don’t know if you remember me, but I’m a psychic and I gave you my card a few years back…”

I wrote back, “Of course I remember! Would you ever consider coming to my office and letting me tape you giving me a reading so I could post it on my blog?”

She agreed and is coming today at noon! We’re going to tape my session and then edit it and post it here on our ROSS BLOG for all of you to see! Exciting, right?!?

But I started to feel guilty. I mean, why should I get a free psychic reading while YOU — my beloved bloggers — get nothing?!?

So our favorite new psychic, Jusstine Kenzer (who’s website can be seen by clicking HERE), agreed to take questions from YOU, too!!!

So here’s how it will work. I need YOU to email me a question that you’d like to have answered by well known and respected psychic Jusstine Kenzer! Send your email to me at: ross@rossmathews.net.

In your email, include your question and either your blog name and/or real name. Justine didn’t ask that you include any other information, but I’d like that you say something like, “I’m blank years old and live in/near blank… (etc.)” Also, if you like, include your phone number. Maybe we’ll call you so Justine can do your reading over the phone!

After Jusstine does my reading (which will be video taped for you to see after I get back from hiatus), I’ll move on to your questions! I’ll video tape this, too, and will post her responses to your questions on the blog later today!

You have until NOON today, Friday August 11th, to get me your questions. Email them to me at: ross@rossmathews.net!

Keep checking back here today to see when I post the video of the psychic answering your probing questions!

Until then, have a blogtastic day!

Wow, oh wow, blog buddies — it has been a LONG day!

I got here early this morning to get ready for psychic Jusstine Kenzer, also known as The Psychic Girl (click HERE to visit her website), to come to my office to give me a reading!

Before she got here, though, I had to go through the HUNDREDS of emails from all of you wonderful bloggers containing questions for her to answer for you. I cannot thank ALL of you enough for sending in your questions!

Once she got here and we did the important stuff (got lunch) we sat down and she gave me a reading. You guys — it was SO cool! We taped the reading (except for the ultra-private stuff) and will edit it together and post it here on our blog at a later date.

Then it was time to really test Jusstine’s psychic ability by sitting her down and asking her some of YOUR questions! I picked about 20 of your questions to ask her and here are some of her answers:

Congrats to the lucky bloggers who got a free psychic reading today! Hopefully we’ll do it again soon!

Daria, my office mate and co-worker, and I have been here all day making sure this was all done and posted for all you bloggers! Now I’ve got to get home ASAP before Louise explodes potty all over the house — a girl can only hold it for only so long!

Until tomorrow, blog buddies!

It was hard not to be skeptical while sitting across from a woman who swore she saw colors and energy emanating from my body. My first instinct was to give her a twenty and tell her to take the next bus to the local loony bin. But when she started nailing personality traits, current relationships and future ventures and desires, it was hard not to become a believer. She told me of past lives I’d lived (an Egyptian worker and an Indian woman). She got very excited when she told me that my boss was about to give me a raise (wait a second, how did that get in here?) Add to that a warm personality and a positive outlook, and I found myself listening a little bit more closely.

In a world full of people who claim to know what the future has to hold, Jusstine Kenzer has made herself a bit of an icon. When starting her site www.psychicgirl.com, she had no idea what the response would be. Now she’s lucky if she gets an hour of free time for herself. User comments on the site are nothing but stellar. In fact, through a prediction made for Hennessy, Jusstine gained acclaim for predicting the first person Nicole Kidman would be seen with after her divorce announcement (Russell Crowe). Jusstine also does person-to-person VIP readings in Los Angeles, where she resides. Her advice is useful and guides her clients into a more spiritual lifestyle and awakening. While she may not have the name recognition of Dionne Warwick and her psychic friends, something tells me that Jusstine might just be a bit more authentic.

I’m not a big-time believer — but I’m not completely cynical about psychic abilities either. Unexplainable things happen every day, and I don’t understand the universe well enough to totally dismiss the possibility. So, I asked Jusstine Kenzer, the creator of psychicgirl.com, a question about my own future. What is the next year going to hold for me? Kenzer’s reading was right on at some points: My new house does have a very stark feel, and I do believe in the less-is-more philosophy when it comes to design. And I have always wanted to travel to Africa. But I still can’t identify the grandmotherly spirit from my mother’s side who’s guiding me in writing a book. In the end, though, it doesn’t matter so much what’s true and what’s not. It doesn’t matter if I think there are spirits following me around or not. When I got my reading, I felt very excited about my future, and I started to think a little more carefully about what I wanted and didn’t want. Below, you’ll find tips from Kenzer about how to do you own psychic reading. You, too, should decide for yourself what you believe and what you don’t — choose what you feel comfortable exploring. Practice listening to yourself. Remember, as Kenzer says, that your life is your own to direct.

Power Tips
The first thing is that you have to work on getting clear,” Kenzer says. This is impossible to do when you’re rushing around, going to class, to soccer practice or to your after-school job. Take 10 minutes sometime during your day — like when you first wake up or when you’re going to sleep. Close your eyes, get quiet and let yourself be. Ask a question. You can do this in one of two ways, Kenzer says. You can ask your higher self — and if you do this you should actually try to see this as a separate person, she says. You can also ask a spirit guide, who is, she says, someone who has passed to the other side. “We all have guides around us,” she says, “but because we have free will we have to give them permission to come in and work closer with us. Kenzer says she suggests creating a sanctuary in your room, perhaps lighting candles or insense, and trying your meditation at the same time each day. Close your eyes, she says, and try to imagine that you’re watching a television or movie screen.

Don’t push it. “It’s always when you’re trying really hard [that] it’s never going to come…because you’re forcing it, Kenzer says. Sometimes gratification may be delayed, she advises. Maybe then you’ll go off and be in the middle of your day and boom! The answer will click into your head or as soon as you wake up in the morning,” she says. “Or you might even have a dream and that is the answer coming to you — it’s just coming in a way where it can get to you. Keep trying. You may not get anything at first, because, Kenzer says, Like building a muscle when you’re working out, it takes a while to get it going. Don’t expect the images to roll out like a movie, either, she advises. You might see a face or hear something, she says. You might just see a color, in which case you have to ask yourself what the color means to you.
