Using Metaphysics - Your Assessment of Yourself

Commonly perceived as "New Agey", hippie, woo woo - the reality is that metaphysics assessment tools have been used for thousands of years! (New Age sounds more advanced than ancient/old age; we like to discover "new" processes instead of going back to "old" ways.)

Why use them?
You can use these tools to help define your self, by giving you a possible picture to compare to yourself. People will often use their peers, respected mentors, celebrities and infamous characters to compare themselves to, usually with a less than stellar outcome. However this is not a fair assessment since each individual has his or her own path in life. Someone else's circumstances will not be comparable to yours and therefore is a poor measurement to use.

To use assessment tools that are objective and unbiased, due to scientific data or energetic disclosure, gives you the ability to compare you to "you". The analyzing of "is this really me" is one of the most important pieces of metaphysics.

Maybe you have never considered a particular aspect of you that this information brings to light. Its like finding a missing piece of your puzzle = "OH! Thats why . . . . " Or, you may decide = "No, I don't see that in me ". . . Great! Either way you have a clearer picture of who you are!

So, what are these metaphysical tools?
Like most tools, the higher level of details, sophisticated elements involved and specialized use - the more precise information you can get to assist your journey.

The tools are discussed in more detail in the devaliving-training articles - to give you an idea, here is a short overview:
For example: Look at Astrology - the study of the influence of planets and stars on the course of human affairs based on the dates of events and the positioning and movement of the planets. This is a well known, fairly mainstream study (also the butt of some bad 70's pick up lines "so, baby, what's your sign?". And yet,

STATISTIC: People in the United States know their "sign" more often than their blood type!

You can get very vague, generally stated information called horoscopes in almost every magazine and newspaper published. This information is based on very limited, yet broad based input - the month of your birthday. You could read them and never see a connection to you and the events in your life. However, give more details to a professional astrologer (your birthday, time you were born and the city your were born in) and you will receive amazingly accurate information regarding situations you were born into, potential purpose in life, characteristics, challenges, opportunities and the best possible timing to take certain actions.

Understanding this information and taking advantage of its input again gives you the opportunity to clarify the what, why, and how of your life journey. Another piece of your puzzle . . finding your life purpose.

What kind of Astrology? You will find a variety of schools on astrology - Integrative, Chinese, Vedic, Evolutionary - and while each has its own structure, it is amazing to see the similarities in the details of the information, considering most were developed and researched by scholars living thousands of miles from each other in ancient times.

Numerology is another study of discovery related to character, development and life purpose. This is based on the numbers in your life - your birth date, the corresponding numbers to the letters in your name. Again, a process based on ancient studies that can inform you on your challenges and potentials, etc. Another piece . . .
Remember, it is in the understanding of the information and deciding if it relates to you (and discovering hidden sides of you) that makes this a tool for clarity.

NOTE: Are you sure it doesn't match you? If nothing rings true to you here are two tests: try another tool and see if the information is similar. Or get a **reading** on one or two loved ones and see if their info is accurate - if you agree with theirs, what aren't you seeing in yours? :)

** A reading is the term that is used to get the information from each tool, either done by a specialist or through acquired tools - You are "reading" the statistical information and energetics. So, you receive a "reading", e.g. an astrological chart reading.

Other Metaphysical Tools: A different series of tools available to you are designed to give you information on particular situations, where you are headed or confirm and assist in making decisions =
For example: Tarot, I Ching, Pendulum work - they all use objective, random methods, or symbolism and your subconscious intention to inform your conscious decision for your journey. This can be confirmation/affirming what you previously thought but did not hear for yourself clearly -

You will inevitably say - "I knew that!"

So, is it wasted time? NO! If you are not receiving a strong intuition on a topic or are too close to a subject to be objective - it will help you to get an unbiased 2nd opinion to be clearer. These tools can also enhance your brainstorming; come up with new ideas, solutions, changes in direction to be even more successful!

Would you like additional support and guidance for your understanding? You can receive a unique, individualized reading! See services, or connect with devaliving-training.

You can learn how to use any of these tools although, for the more complex tools starting with a professional will help you get a better idea of how it all works. Professionals spend years studying and developing their intuition and fine tuning their practice.
There are not any national certifications as such, however there are a number of Universities that offer these studies. So here is a guide on what to watch for in getting a reading:

• Most Important! Know that there really shouldn't be any giving of negative predictions in readings, unless it is given as just one of several possibilities. Since each reading is a snapshot in that moment there is always the potential for the situation to change.


• Anything to do with "curses" or paying more money to to get specific details once you are already into the reading are cons, scams and you should leave immediately (and report them to the authorities!)


• Ask for rates up front, if there is not a quoted price, don't go there.


• The best way to find someone is to ask around for referrals or go to a website that you trust.

One last thought - Remember, this is to develop YOUR intuition and decision making! NOT to become dependent on someone else's interpretation. Take the information, decide what resonates with you, file away the rest and incorporate the learning into your life.
