I have a question concerning wishes. Is it possible to speed up our original life plan by making "wishes?" If so, do we have to do so on a conscious level? I've noticed that when I make a wish for something, my life starts to change. I then wonder if I'm fulfilling my destiny - if I felt called to make that wish because it's part of my life plan - or if I am changing my destiny by nudging it in a new direction. I guess what I'm really asking is if we can change our destiny/life plan based on our desires after we incarnate, or if our desires are always guiding us to fulfill a set higher plan. Thanks!

Every once in a while I get a question like this that I am so happy to answer in this public forum. You see, I do a lot of research of all kinds, and am always trying to learn something new, for I know my clients expect me to have some answers.
I used to think that we had a set purpose or destiny, and we had to find it and fulfill it. In my studies, however, I have learned that we have many options and many different choices.
In its own way, your destiny will find you. You will meet who you are supposed to meet and go where you are supposed to go. In the mean time, you can do whatever you want. You can make whatever choices you want, be whatever you want to be, and be with whomever you want to be with, and your "destiny" will still find you. If you look back over your life at its different twists and turns, in hindsight you will see that this is true.
Often we forget there is a whole web of activity happening all around us that we can't see. There is a whole host of beings that are working to help us clear a path and put us where we need to be. When you make a choice, the universe can and will shift according to that choice. Everything that is working for you and around you will shift according to the path that YOU choose.
One of your lessons in life is to learn how to become one with the Universe. You are to learn how to manifest and how to choose what you really want according to what is truly good for your soul. You will see your life change when you change your mind.
When you start asking for things or start consciously trying to manifest things, your life will change. Those forces working around you will move things so that you are in alignment with what you want. If you choose to move to another country, of course everything is going to have to shift to accommodate your new life. After you make a big decision like this, things will adjust accordingly.
I suggest everyone reading this article watch a movie called What the Bleep Do We Know. It will explain all of this to you not only from a metaphysical standpoint but from a scientific standpoint as well. Scientists have proven that our thoughts create what happens around us, and this movie explains how that happens in a simple way. We literally create our worlds with what we THINK. You are starting to learn that.
Don't worry if your world changes completely. Your soul knows its job and your soul will do its job. You just wish for whatever you want and live your life. Another good movie about manifesting is The Secret. I highly recommend both of these films.
I wish you an incredible life journey.

I may be the wrong psychic to ask about Destiny, because I don't believe in it! I believe in choices and consequences, and that our job here on Earth is to be happy.
However, because of Free Will, sometimes our choices aren't the best, and we have to live with the consequences. Since we're not God, our highest Destiny (if such a thing exists) escapes most of us. Thus we have reincarnation, and get the chance to revisit and correct our mistakes one incarnation after another until we are Enlightened.
I believe that life plans are made consciously as we go. I don't know anyone who has ever made an "unconscious wish." Wishes are wants, and to want, you have to know you want something.
While we create our own paths, no matter how careful we are, there are seemingly random events that happen to everyone. Illnesses, others' choices and even death are things that no one can plan for. Like dances, life plans are temporal and change with our changing wants, needs and desires.
As for wishes, there is nothing like visualization for manifesting what we want. One of my psychic friends taught me this in the early eighties. At the time, I was driving around an old beater and needed a reliable car. One day when I was whining to her about the beater, she said, "You're not seeing the new car in the driveway. You have to SEE it to OWN it."
I took her at her word and began to imagine a little red sports car in my driveway. Three weeks later, one of the girls working with me had to give up her fancy car. It was the cutest, best car I ever owned - a bright red Toyota MR2. I drove him from 1984 until 2004. Of course, after that I had to begin to visualize how the heck I was going to earn the money for those car payments, but that worked out too.
Wishes can also be classified as prayers, so when we wish for something, Someone hears us. People who say that sometimes the answer to a prayer is 'no' don't get it. Our wishes can come true if we concentrate on doing what it takes to MAKE them come true.
What does this have to do with Destiny? Maybe nothing, maybe everything - but positive visualization, wishing and prayer WORK. Of course, you can't just sit in a room wishing without taking inspired action to make your wish come true, but even THINKING about having positive people and things in your life will help bring them to you.
If that is working towards your Destiny, great. Just remember that our job is to do everything we can without hurting anyone else, and to just be happy. So wish away, for even the act of wishing will put you in a more positive frame of mind to manifest whatever you want and need.
