Beginners Palmistry - New Handbook

Here's my Beginners Palmistry handbook cover:

I originally pubbed it under the pen name Elaine Elise a year ago or so, but took it down after a month. There aren't any diagrams, but this book is just for you to begin the basics of palmistry.

I Love Him, but Sometimes I Want to Hit Him over the Head with a Frying Pan

Love, men, sheesh! He’s great most of the time, you love him more than life itself, but once in a while…it would feel nice to whack him! Why does he take his moodiness out on you? Are you guilty of doing the same thing sometimes?

Sure, we all get persnickety when we live with someone or spend a lot of time with him. But he’s so…so…so…uhg! He won’t tell you what’s wrong, he just takes it out on you through snippy remarks, lack of affection, or just shuts down altogether.

Is this a bad thing? Could be, but if it doesn’t happen a lot, it’s actually flattering if you think about it.

He feels comfortable enough with you to let his freak flag fly. He’s grumpy one minute, then when he answers the phone to talk to a friend, he’s all nice and laughing. Why isn’t he doing that with you at that moment?

He knows you love him and will take his damage. You always have, he hopes you always will. And we’ve dished out some crazy for him to handle, too! But it’s all in love.

Try to get him to tell you what’s bothering him after he calms down or comes out of his shell. Many men haven’t been taught they can be open and vulnerable, and when they feel vulnerable, they want to hide it or take it out on…the people they love the most. That’s you.

Once you can get him talking, and it may take time and a lot of patience and effort, he’ll realize that’s the solution rather than a fight or a stagnant environment. A good way to get him to open up is for you to open up first about something bothering you, but don’t let him know if it’s him who is bothering you. Tell him about things in your life you are upset about, such as work situations, difficulty with children or family, ask him what you should and could do. Seek his advice and ask if he ever feels the way you do.

With time and repetition, he’ll feel safe to open up to you and realize you’re the “good one.” You’re only looking out for his best interests and letting him know he can vent to you about things outside your relationship will possibly encourage him to do that instead of the other ways he lets out his frustrations.

Gemstone Meaning - Garnet

They are stones of love. Mostly known for attracting romantic love or enhancing current romantic dynamics, it can also draw positive, loving people into your life. Wearing garnet jewelry can boost the effects of this gorgeous stone.

New Handbook Ideas

Hello! I am working on ideas for my next handbook and would love your input. There are three subjects I'm thinking of writing about.

I'm leaning toward a book about empathy. For this, I'd like to make a questionnaire my readers fill out anonymously. First, I need to find a way to do this.

Somebody voted for me to make blog posts about soulmates, which gave me some ideas on a handbook about this topic.

Thirdly, I'm tossing ideas around on writing how to unlock your inner divination skills.

I'm putting up a poll lasting though this week if you'd like to vote on which subject I should write about next. If you have ideas for something else, feel free to comment!

Thanks!

New Book Live on Kindle - meditations, Mantras and ways to Stop Beating Yourself Up

My handbook is live on Kindle. I was going to post one of the meditations, but figured it might not make much sense without some information on mantras, so here's the beginning of that chapter.

Chapter Two: What is a Mantra and How Can it Help You?

            A mantra is something you associate with a different state of mind, like happiness when you’re usually not the most upbeat person. Mostly they are known as words or phrases, but they can be anything.

            I have a mantra I developed over a year of imagining the happiest I could be. I use it now, not all the time, but to relax me and I swear I feel chemicals in my brain change. My mantra is a word phrase. No surprise there!

            An example of a natural mantra is a song you heard a lot during an extremely emotional time period of your life. If you hear it now, you might feel that same way for a moment. How you felt then. The strength of your confusion, love, excitement, pain, anything going on.

            Mantras are not just for boosting power in yourself. They are natural associations. They are everywhere, in everything. Color, sunsets, cars, ringtones, paintings, movies, HBO shows, a voice, scents. These mantras set your mind into another state. They take you where you were, however you felt, you are there right then when the mantra triggers you.

            How does a mantra work? More mysteries of the mind which are being uncovered. Many mystical types use mantras to take them into extreme states of higher consciousness. Shamans use mantras to go into trance and explore different dimensions they describe, and can go into what is called the Shamanic Ecstasy, where they feel extreme pleasure of spirit, body and mind.

            A mantra simply transforms your perception. What do you think would work for you? Does music especially affect you? Do you like the idea of having powerful words you can say or think to make yourself change? I’ll give types of meditations in another chapter, but I want you to try all kinds of ideas for your mantras. I believe I said this in my first book, but imagination is a great, strong and powerful gift which is uniquely yours. The way your imagination works is key to creating mantras and being able to use them in everyday life.

New Book Release : )

I uploaded Meditations, Mantras and Ways to Stop Beating Yourself Up to Kindle about an hour ago. Only a few votes on the blog, but friends on Facebook and people I know liked the brass-colored one for the cover. I thought the font could be better, so here's what it looks like:

Once it's live, I'll post one of the meditations in the book on the blog. Thanks for reading!

Need Your Input! Cover for Next Book!

Hello! I'm almost finished writing my next handbook, and here are two covers I'm working on. I'd love to know which you like, or if I should try more. These images are from Alice Porpkorn, as was the last image I used for the first handbook.

I'm putting a poll up on the sidebar if you'd like to contribute, or feel free to leave a comment.
