Does He Like Me? How to Tell if a Guy Loves You
I know... it sounds like the title of some article you'd read in a teen magazine, right? :)
As a psychic, this is HANDS-DOWN one of the questions that I am asked most often. It usually goes a little something like this... "How does he REALLY feel about me?" Whether it's a man that my client is dating, the hot guy next door who acts a bit flirty, or the shy but sweet guy at work, one thing is for sure: If a guy is really interested in you, you will know! But sometimes it's hard to figure out the signs. You can call me and ask if you like -- or any psychic -- a good one can help you determine if a man is interested in you. However, for those of us who are more practical, you can also try using my simple checklist. And if you know a woman who's not quite sure of the signs, feel free to forward this article to her, or give her the link to my YouTube video on this subject. ;)
#1. He's Most Interested In You. If he's supposed to be paying attention to something else, but instead he's watching you and smiling... it's a good sign!
#2. He Takes Care of You. He cares for your practical needs; like feeding you if you're hungry, warming you if you're cold. It may be to impress you; but also shows he really cares for your well-being.
#3. He Talks With You... (A Lot!) Guys don't usually like having long personal discussions. If he's investing hours of time just talking with you, it means that he enjoys spending time in your presence.
#4. He Notices the Little Things. Someone who's only attracted physically won't notice small details about you; a guy in love will! He might also ask specific questions about your life, or remember small things that you've mentioned in the past.
#5. He Cares About Your Opinion. If there's something significant happening in his life, he'll ask for your take on the matter. This may mean that he respects you and also wants to take your feelings into consideration.

Meet Your Real Guardian Angel
"Make friends with the angels, who though invisible are always with you. Often invoke them, constantly praise them, and make good use of their help and assistance in all your temporal and spiritual affairs." -- St. Francis de Sales
It could be said that an angel is a by-product of God, in much the same way that light emanates from a candle or lightbulb. As soon as we are born, an angel is present near is, waiting to help and guide us. They can understand our thoughts and feelings, and they can also hear our prayers whether silent or spoken.
All around us, we can find these angels. They are everywhere; if we remember to ask for their help, our guardian angels will do their very best to assist us. It is in an angel's nature to be a liason between the mortal realm and that of the immortal, the divine, and they can exist in both realms, serving as a connection between these worlds. Although they cannot be seen by the human eye, angelic presence can often be felt.
Because angelic beings are of the divine, earthly concepts such as time are not relevant to them. They can be wherever they choose, in any way that they choose, because they exist in multiple dimensions. A popular belief is that angels can travel more quickly than the speed of light. Every living thing -- each animal, each plant, each person -- has an angel present, watching over it and caring for it.
When you become open to the possibilities of communicating with your angel, you are choosing to become open to a richer spiritual experience, and the opportunity for great spiritual self-improvement. Acknowledging angelic presences helps us to enhance our own intuition, and thus become more readily able to accept their communications. Meditating can be beneficial toward helping us remove the negative obstacles inside us, which make inner peace and self-improvement difficult. By meditating, one can find the tranquility, love, and happiness that angels wish us to possess.
When you are in need of help, you have only to speak up and ask your angelic presence for assistance. By connecting with your guardian angel, you are reaching out to a liason of God, and thus connecting with the divine presence through your angelic helper. And, when you achieve a calm and composed state of mind, it is much easier to connect.
Spirits are each given the task of watching over us and helping us throughout our time here on Earth: these are angels. An angel is thought to be a spiritual being who acts as a messenger of God, assigned to assist someone in his or her life. In Judaism, they are sometimes called "mal'akh elohim" (messengers of God). The Islamic religion refers to them as Malaikah. The Catholic Church has long held a tradition of belief in these heavenly beings, although angels themselves are not necessarily affiliated with any specific religious belief. We all have our own personal guardian angel whose job is to guide us, assist us, and to help us realize that doing good work is our duty here on Earth.

Life can be distracting, fast-paced, and so full of "important" things to do. However, it is important for us to give ourselves those moments of tranquility and peace that our inner souls crave. When having a quiet moment, realize that this is an excellent time to try connecting with your personal angelic presence. If you are in need of help, feel free to ask your angel for some assistance -- an angel will do its best to help you no matter what, but when you ask, the connection is that much stronger and easier. If you can remember a time when you've had a serious problem and there seemed to be no way out of it, yet somehow you were able to come to a solution at the last second, you may have your guardian angel to thank for that assistance.

Modern Kabbalah Basics & the Tree of Life
The ancient school of thought that is known as Kabbalah has recently enjoyed some newfound popularity in the past few years; because of celebrities such as Madonna, Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan, and Lady Gaga wearing Kabbalah bracelets and speaking out about Kabbalah's positive aspects, this practice has become a subject of newfound public interest. Ancient Kabbalah has much in common with the modern version with which we're currently familiar, but the modern version has evolved into something somewhat different as well.
Kabbalah's history originates in early Jewish mysticism. It has grown and evolved into various different forms since its beginnings, including Christian Cabbalah, Islamic Kabbalah, Practical Kabbalah, as well as more secular versions that we often see today, such as Hermetic Qabbalah (spelled with a "Q" to differentiate it from the other versions, as opposed to those which are specifically associated with the Abrahamic religions). Many modern practitioners of Kabbalah are not affiliated with any specific spiritual doctrine, instead choosing to treat it as an independent school of mystic thought.
The origins of Kabbalah are said to have begun with Moses himself, as legends have told that he received Kabbalah teachings on Mount Sinai; the ten commandments were to be distributed freely and taught to everyone, yet the Kabbalistic teachings were reserved only for a chosen few, to be practiced with utter secrecy and shared with extreme discretion. Another legend involving the Kabbalistic origins says that these mystic teachings were with mankind from the very beginning of our existence, bestowed to Adam at the time of his banishment from the Garden of Eden.
Although there are many mystical and spiritual teachings within the Torah and other Judaic writings, the Kabbalah was considered to be the most important of these at the height of its prevalence. Kabbalistic tenets are viewed by many as highly spiritualized information that transcends the beliefs of most organized religions, and therefore is more spiritually flexible and can apply to people of various faiths. Because of this flexibility, Kabbalistic teachings have moved from being a strictly Judaic faith-based concept into a more secularized version of itself, to provide motivation, insight, and strength to people of all different spiritualities and cultures. The modern-day study of this ancient practice is associated with the "Perennial Philosophy," which is the concept that there are truths which overlap throughout all of the world's primary religions. The Kabbalah's tenets are utilized to help recognize and build upon the philosophies of various spiritual traditions, by eliminating all except the very basics of each teaching.
The mystical properties of Kabbalistic teachings are such that, instead of directing the practitioner to conduct of a strict set of rules and practices, it will instead guide each seeker on a path which is personal in nature, even while the practice is a communal and social one. The journey of Kabbalah is one of mystic philosophy, as opposed to one which is based on a strictly religious dogma.

The essence of the Kabbalah's teachings is condensed in a diagrammed classification system which is known as the Tree of Life. This image is comprised of ten spheres (called sephiroth), representing objective existence; these are connected by a total of twenty-two paths which represent the human condition. it has 10 spheres, or sephiroth, and 22 paths connecting them, which represent the human condition. The Tree of Life serves as an implement which can be used to study and compare religious thought as well; in fact, it was described as a "spiritual filing cabinet." by occultist Aleister Crowley.
The Tree of Life can also be applied toward other practices, including rituals and meditation, as well as being used in the philosophical method which was its original intent. Each sephiroth and path can be associated with archangels, angels, spirits, and other symbols which represent the nature of these entities.
Additionally, much of the magical property of Kabbalistic practice can be explained through modern scientific thought. An ideal example of this would be the invocation, where a Kabbalistic practitioner will call upon a spiritual power within him- or herself. It can be thought of as a supernatural occurrence, however when one applies scientific knowledge to this practice, it can also be explained as a psychological phenomenon of one who is able to harness their own subconscious mental energies.
You don't need to be Jewish, or even religious at all, to appreciate the Kabbalah and to enjoy the ways that its mysteries can enhance your life.

More Ways to Use Crystals
Aid your meditation or relaxation by placing your favorite tranquility crystal on your brow chakra (the "third eye" in the middle of your forehead). This energizes your mental and intuitive energies while relaxing your physical body. Try a green crystal to help relax you.
Protect yourself from danger, negativity, or other undesirable situations. Visualize your crystal filling with a spiritual white light and surrounding you with a protective force. Fill the entire room with this light. Imagine it "locking out" things which are harmful or bad, protecting you and sealing in your positivity. Visualize the walls, windows, and doors locking out any potential threats to your well-being. Blue gemstones are best for this. You can also couple this with a mantra or even a simple declaration that you are protecting yourself, in the name of your chosen deity -- God, Jesus, Goddess, Buddha, anyone you worship -- or no deity at all, if you so choose.
One's ability to visualize such things can be an invaluable technique. The crystals can help you center that visualization and focus it so that your intentions can go in the right direction.
