Miss Psychette

rebecca_dettman@hotmail.com — Sat, 12 Jun 2010 14:30:00 +0100

Spiritual people always bang on about "the breath". Breathing 'properly' (deep not shallow), yoga breathing, meditation breathing, alternate nostril breathing... the list goes on. I've also heard Network Chiropractors and acting teachers talk about breathing into body parts -- i.e. "breath into your shoulder, where it hurts". Whatever that means.

So although I'm 110% spiritual, the whole breath thi [...]

June 6: Cleopatra and past lives

rebecca_dettman@hotmail.com — Fri, 04 Jun 2010 14:30:00 +0100

If only I lived in Philadelphia. It's the only place in the world you can currently see an exhibition entitled "Cleopatra: The Search For The Last Queen of Egypt". Doesn't that sound fabulous? On display at the Franklin Institute from June 5, 2010 to January 2, 2011 are a bunch of incredible relics taken from the submerged ruins of Cleopatra's palace and temple complex [...]

May 30: The new gender

rebecca_dettman@hotmail.com — Sat, 29 May 2010 14:30:00 +0100

Let's talk about boys. As a member of Generation X, I'm a little bewildered by the specimens currently walking up and down my local mall. Back in my day (har), boys were boys -- they were dirty, rough and grungey, with long tousled hair or shaved heads. They drove beat-up cars they'd saved up to buy themselves, and listened to hard rock. They wore combat boots, army pant [...]

May 23: What the angels think of plastic surgery

rebecca_dettman@hotmail.com — Sat, 22 May 2010 14:30:00 +0100

Here's a topic that's long overdue. Thanks to M for texting her question and reminding me:

"I was wondering if you could write about cosmetic surgery from a spiritual perspective. I often wonder what the spiritual realm's take on it would be as it's such a popular practice amongst people nowadays... why women in particular feel the need to physically alter their bodies for youthful looks / [...]

May 16: Can porn be sacred?

rebecca_dettman@hotmail.com — Sat, 15 May 2010 14:30:00 +0100

Let's talk about porn :-) If you're a guy, porn is probably something you're familiar with, look at occasionally, and don't think much more about. If you're a girl, like with everything else in life, the topic of porn is a thousand times more complicated:

* If he's looking at porn, I'm not good enough for him
* If he's looking at porn, he's emotionally betraying me
* Porn is disgu [...]

May 9: What are dreams?

rebecca_dettman@hotmail.com — Sat, 08 May 2010 14:30:00 +0100

By this point I've pretty much figured out where I stand on most spiritual stuff. I know what my beliefs are regarding spirit guides, angels, and psychic phenomena. I feel comfortable talking about aliens, Lemuria, Stonehenge. I have a pretty good grasp on ghosts, the Akashic Records and soul contracts. I resonate enough with astrology and psychic geometry to 'get' what they [...]

May 2: It's time to leave that job you hate

rebecca_dettman@hotmail.com — Sat, 01 May 2010 14:30:00 +0100

There appears to be a new flood of blogging on the Internet. It's often written by 30-something-ish guys, probably none of whom would consider themselves particularly spiritual. Yet they're encouraging people to do one of the most profoundly spiritual things of the 21st century: break free from boring, mind-numbing jobs / corporate cages and, to paraphrase Gary Vanderchuk, "do shit you love!& [...]

April 25: Toxic thoughts, toxic body

rebecca_dettman@hotmail.com — Sun, 25 Apr 2010 14:30:00 +0100

Health, sickness and recovery are three of the most mysterious things in the universe. What makes someone sick - really? Is it the cigarettes they smoke? The trans fats they eat? The pollution they breathe in? Their genetic disposition? Their age? "My left knee hurts, but it's just because I'm getting older." -- If your knee hurts due to age, then why don't both knees hurt? "I [...]

April 18: Is your earth shattering?

rebecca_dettman@hotmail.com — Sat, 17 Apr 2010 14:30:00 +0100

You know things that sort of irritate you, but you're obsessed with them? Like TV shows you hate, but you just can't switch channel? Or annoying celebrities you can't get enough of? Well, that's a little like me and Ellie Crystal -- whose website and blog is apparently the highest ranking, most-clicked upon spiritual portal on the Internet. Her totally out-there psychic rambling [...]

April 11: Can you handle The Work?

rebecca_dettman@hotmail.com — Fri, 09 Apr 2010 14:30:00 +0100

I've discovered a quite amazing woman. You may have heard of her: Byron Katie, the American lady behind The Work -- a phenomenal life-changing system used by corporations, universities, schools, churches, prisons and hospitals (and not to mention counsellors, psychologists and therapists). In other words, this ain't your run-of-the-mill, wishywashy, airy-fairy New Age stuff; The Work is real, profound, [...]

March 28: Are you initiated?

rebecca_dettman@hotmail.com — Sat, 27 Mar 2010 14:30:00 +0100

Do you know the legend of the Cherokee Indian youth's rite of Passage? His father takes him into the forest, blindfolds him and leaves him alone. He is required to sit on a stump the whole night and not remove the blindfold until the rays of the morning sun shine through it. He cannot cry out for help to anyone. Once he survives the night, he enters manhood. He cannot tell the other boys of this experie [...]

March 21: Are you spiritually blocked?

rebecca_dettman@hotmail.com — Sat, 20 Mar 2010 14:30:00 +0100

As spiritual energies intensify all around us, those of us who used to be healers in past lives - which, let's face it, is practically everybody -- are being challenged to cleanse their karma. This will feel particularly apparent for you if you're also working as a healer in this lifetime... which again, if you're reading this blog, is probably the case!

Whether you're earning money for helping peop [...]

March 14: Alien starseeds

rebecca_dettman@hotmail.com — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 14:30:00 +0100

When something appears not once, but many times, across diverse cultures, time periods and geographic distances, you've sort of got to sit up and take notice. Here's the latest revelation for me. A couple of years ago, I read some of Jelaila Starr's alien ramblings which are based around her version of a Creation story involving two warring races in the universe: the Felines and Reptilians. Interesting, I [...]

March 7: When omens appear...

rebecca_dettman@hotmail.com — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 14:30:00 +0100

This week was all about omens. Check out this email:

My overly-superstitious grandmother wouldn't go out to lunch today with my mum and aunty because she was devastated her peach tree had been uprooted with the wind, she said that when this happens there will be a death in the family - obviously she's very concerned about her sister who has cancer, and mum's coincidently just called me to say that th [...]

February 28: Return of the sex goddess

rebecca_dettman@hotmail.com — Sat, 27 Feb 2010 14:30:00 +0100

Someone pointed out yesterday that they've noticed I've been sprinkling a lot of ‘tantric sex' references around my website lately, and she's right. Why? Because two months ago I was compelled to start writing/researching/channelling a book covering everything from sex goddesses, sacred sex, tantric sex, spiritual sex, Kama Sutra, Mystery schools, fertility cults, moon worship, living goddesses, Ancient [...]

February 21: Conquering the elements

rebecca_dettman@hotmail.com — Sat, 20 Feb 2010 14:30:00 +0100

Sitting on the couch eating ice cream this week, watching a bunch of teenage snowboarders (one of whom earns $10 million a year) competing in Vancouver's XXI Winter Olympics, I turned to my husband and shrieked, "I've never felt like such an under-achiever!" And then things got worse. Channel Seven cut to an interview with 15-year-old Victorian snowboarder Scotty James, and my mouth was han [...]

February 14: Paving a new Road

rebecca_dettman@hotmail.com — Sat, 13 Feb 2010 14:30:00 +0100

All this week I've been feeling weird. It obviously hasn't helped that I read the entire post-nuclear war book The Road AND watched the film all in one day. The story is one of the bleakest channellings of another dimension EVER and I got all creeped out, Halloween-style, and was too chicken to hang my laundry out on the line after dark in case cannibals got me. But I digress.

If you're ke [...]

January 7: Get on the grid

rebecca_dettman@hotmail.com — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 14:30:00 +0100

I keep hearing spiritual people talking about grids: "The grids are shifting / changing / colliding." What does it all mean? I don't know, but that Holographic Universe bloke Michael Talbot seems to be at the centre of it all (despite the fact he's long gone - he died in 1982 at the tender age of 38). So first of all, what is a hologram? I keep thinking of a funky rainbow hologram frid [...]

January 31: Haiti and the universe

rebecca_dettman@hotmail.com — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 14:30:00 +0100

A couple of my clients lately have said they have "deja vu": "I dreamed that I was helping all these black people escape flood waters, and when I woke up, I heard about the earthquakes in Haiti." And this: "Before I close my eyes at night, I hold the intention that the universe can send my spirit wherever it most needed in the world, to assist while I sleep." Right now, the mass m [...]

2010: Blessings and new beginnings

rebecca_dettman@hotmail.com — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 14:30:00 +0100

Once upon a time, people (i.e. me) held parties on New Year's Eve, had over-inflated expectations re: creating the Best Night Ever, got drunk, fell over, missed the fireworks and woke up feeling horrible on January 1 for emotional and physical (read: hangover) reasons. Not anymore.

There's a new buzz surrounding New Year's, and it's a spiritual one. A whole bunch of people like you a [...]
