I find all of this so interesting!
I definitely believe in positive thoughts and cosmic ordering. I've recently been let go from my office job (basically, I had been struggling with a few aspects of work due to my dyslexia and I found my supervisor being completely negative about everything that I did) I think if you have negative thoughts towards someone/yourself it can make a situation worse. The more negative she was towards me, the worse I felt and hence the worse I performed. So now I'm trying to rechannel my positive mindset. I've already managed to order myself up an interview.
I'm not sure if anyone has read any of my posts, but I'm retraining as a beauty therapist in September (hopefully). The reason I even looked into it was because one day my boyf asked me if I had ever considered it. And I had been thinking about it for ages, but had simply been too chicken to act upon it. I hadn't even spoken with him about retraining. It's like he'd picked up on my inner thoughts. What's even spookier is literally half an hour before I'd had an appointment at my regular saloon to have my monthly hollywood and I had actually spoken about my desire to retrain with my therapist. There's no way he would have known about that conversation as he was somewhere else doing man stuff.
I'm having my first ever physic reading in May and I'm really excited to see what he picks up. He's been recommended to me by friends.
However, in terms of ghosts and picking up on spiritual beings I don't think I've ever had an experience. I think I'd probably be pretty scared, maybe that's why I haven't had one!
