I awoke to a beautiful Nevada sunrise. I'm sure there was hustle and bustle in the casino downstairs, but up in my room there was golden light and stillness. Through my window I could see the distant hills, the expanse of desert and infinite, clear sky. What a wonderful life.

This supported my decision to take it easy last night. I woke up a new person, ready to get the most of this conference. My morning classes were amazing, and brought me fully back in my body. I’ve also reconciled my earlier disappointment with my fellow yogis. It is a recurring lesson for me that a spiritual practice does not mean a spiritual life and great behavior. Conversely, it is such a blessing to find gods and goddesses all around, sometimes in the most unlikely places. I feel supremely grateful.

As part of the vendor show, an Indian man was offering Vedic palm, numerology and psychic readings. I do believe in these mystical powers, and also have a strong skepticism as I think most practitioners are phonies. I recently had my first encounter with a highly recommended psychic and was blown away. She was able to explain so many facets of my life that did not make sense. She also gave me some great insight about my current situation and future direction. It was one of the most worthwhile experiences I have ever had.

So, now that I'm a pro at this psychic thing, I decided to give this gentleman a try. He started with numerology, then a palm reading. I was careful to not give away any information about myself or my life, and yet he was able to describe my personality, talents and struggles. Pretty good, I thought. In general I got very good news about the future in terms of my business and family. I couldn't help but laugh when he described me as willful and obstinate, with the ability to be outrageous. (What!!! Who me???)

Seriously, it was all very positive and very powerful. My favorite part was when he called me a Warrior Sage Goddess! (And I didn't even have to pay extra for that.) Apparently, I was also either Abraham Lincoln, or had a relationship with him. Very interesting...

 

The only disappointment was the psychic reading which was disjointed and unclear. Perhaps I just need to wait and see...
