Having trouble deciding upon new career path.
I have a lot of artistic interests that I don't expect to make much money from, not terribly good at internet marketing, although I have tried for years, and in the past few years have become very interested in natural health and metaphysical stuff, ya'know...and a kind astrologer here said I may have real talent in the healing arts or psychic work. I've been excited ever since, looking at different things such as color therapy, sound therapy or Tibetan singing bowls therapy, all kinds of neat things like that, also Noetic Field Therapy looks good, too. Well, for grins with some deep questions I asked for a tarot card reading(not from here I don't believe), .. he thought that the correct career path was something I haven't thought of yet! "Might seem odd at first" ...Seems like I have been trying to make money at many things for an eternity, and sometimes I feel I may never find my exact calling!...So I am bumming about that! But I am probaly going to go for a Past Life Regression Session, to see if I can unblock what might need to be unblocked. Arghh!

1. See if you can figure out exactly what you'd like to be doing.
Usually people are the most successful in careers/life paths that resonate deeply with them. What do you love doing? What piece of healing do you feel drawn to?

Are you a hands on huggy person or are you more comfortable just talking without direct contact?

There are many ways to heal, in fact I believe that all people can heal with all of their interactions. Some people are just quietly doing their thing while most people don't realize that anything has occurred. How do you see yourself helping?

2. I always thought of my writing and singing as therapy,
Especially for me, but I can't imagine making it into a living. Harmony energy work would be great, I think, but still I need more info. No, I don't think I would be a touchy-type. Thanks.

3. There is an entire field dedicated to sound healing
and I feel much better personally listening to music when I'm down or stressed. Listen to the words of the song in my sig line - Jason Mraz, who I just found out, studies alternative paths and it shows in his music, some of which he wrote.
Why can't you make a living out of what you love? Just start writing and sing your heart out, you never know what will come of it. Keep your job as a source of income and start working on the things you love. Creativity is very good for the spirit, it's also very healing.

4. Tell me about PLR and why you think that will help
Hello, Kimmer
I'm in a similar situation. I left one career and wanted to enter another but have not been able to get a job in it. After trying for about a year, it is time to rethink the situation.
Why do you think Past Life Regression will help regarding career? I have done PLR in an effort to understand my family dynamics but it really wasn't useful for that.

5. Because I was told that I may have had some self-esteem issues
in the past, and maybe if I can unblock the confidence/esteem issue , it might have an effect on how I view what I can and cannot do.

7. Thanks for the response
I hope others jump in here and give their experiences with PLR.
I found PLR interesting but it did not answer the questions I had when I tried it.
I wish you better luck with it.

8. My friends daughter is taking
coursework in music therapy at SUNY New Paltz.

There is also art therapy, speech therapy, etc. Have you thought about working with children? Perhaps those with autism-- it seems that our crystal children could use those with natural psychic ability and knowledgeable with nutrition to gain strength and ability to function well in this world.

Just a thought. I don't know you personally. If I were to do it over again, I think I might have gone in that direction rather than nursing.
