In this week’s episode of The Happy Psychic, Jeff Patterson joins me to discuss the concept of yielding and its application in the meditative arts, particularly through practices like Tai Chi and Qi Gong. He breaks down yielding into three categories: physical, mental, and emotional, explaining how each can enhance personal growth and awareness. Patterson emphasizes the importance of integrating meditation into daily life, understanding its core fundamentals, and the necessity of consistency and guidance in practice. He shares insights on how meditation can help manage stress, improve mental clarity, and foster emotional intelligence, ultimately leading to a more balanced and fulfilling life.

As a special gift to you as a listener, Jeff Is giving you a free copy of his book as well as a $1 trial of his online programme.

Takeaways:

• Yielding is a unique approach that integrates various meditative arts.
• Physical yielding involves responding to force with less effort.
• Mental yielding enhances awareness in conversations and interactions.
• Emotional yielding helps in managing personal conflicts and decisions.
• Meditation can be approached from physical, therapeutic, medical, philosophical, and spiritual perspectives.

We often hear of mediums talking about being aware of Spirit being around them from they were a young age and I don’t know about you, but I didn’t have that experience. Not that I was aware of!

The appearance of Spirit is so subtle. Even when we’re seeing them clairvoyantly, it’s often as though it’s in our imagination and not as a full size apparition standing in front of us. But it can be as subtle as you simply knowing something that you didn’t know, or thinking of someone and suddenly their name flashes on your cell as they call you message you.

What other signs do we possibly miss when it comes to potential spiritual gifts and what can we do to really start working with them?

As always, I hope you enjoy the podcast and I’d love to hear your feedback and personal experiences. You can email me at gemma@guidinglight.guru.

Following your passion is hard, even uncovering your passion can be a challenge in the world we’re in today! Is it possible to work for a living and also enjoy it? Is it possible to love what you do and derive a sense of purpose from that? Is a sense of purpose even essential?

I say absolutely it is, and Spirit are in agreement.

I’m hoping that you will get some inspiration from this week’s episode of The Happy Psychic podcast on your search for purpose and following your passion.
