Many people may not realize that the nonprofit spiritual organization he started in 1985, The Center for Self Teaching, was founded in order to share his unique spiritual beliefs with others.</p>
<p>So what are those beliefs?</p>
<p>There are six basic tenets that Walter and members of The Center for Self Teaching share:</p>
<ul>
<li>Belief in the interconnectedness of all things.</li>
<li>Cultivating a compassionate attitude towards yourself and others.</li>
<li>The practice of daily meditation.</li>
<li>Volunteering for service work.</li>
<li>Moderation in all things.</li>
<li>Your life is like a book written in your own mythology with unique lessons to help you achieve spiritual enlightenment.</li>
</ul>
<p>We&#8217;ll explore each of these tenets in more detail in following posts.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><a href="http://www.waltermakichen.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/fire.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-459" title="fire" src="http://www.waltermakichen.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/fire-300x204.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="204" /></a>Fire is a form of light energy and does have a revelatory quality. It is the nature of fire to reveal hidden conflicts and obstacles. Physical problems that severely impact your health, such as heart disease or cancer, often reveal themselves in fire years, as do issues that impact your life plans such as your ability to have children.</p>
<p>Fire years, in other words, are instrumental in defining the karmic challenges of our lives. Fortunately, they also bring with them a very powerful transformative energy that helps to change and redirect our karmic path.</p>
<p>A fire year is a wonderful time to change stubborn karmic patterns, to reshape the the parts of us that have thwarted our best efforts to change. The transformative quality of a fire year is somewhat like a forest fire; it creates an enitrely new landscape, free from the restrictions of the past&#8211;the body, mind, and spirit flourish. The renewing spirit of fire has the power to make our &#8220;impossible dreams&#8221; into a living reality.</p>
<p><strong>Revelation, transformation, creation &#8212; that&#8217;s the essence of a fire year.</strong></p>

Each seasonal year carries with it a particular energy that can be worked with to enhance your spiritual development/life. Walter has this to say about the Spring Equinox 2010.</em></p>
<p>In my 30 years of clairvoyant practice I have observed that each spring equinox releases a new energy that shapes the action and events on this planet. This year the spring equinox has brought a strong fire energy.</p>
<p>Fire energy always sounds ominous because many of you see fire as a purely destructive power that causes loss, conflict and pain. Fire years do increase conflict between nations and individuals&#8211;9/11 occurred during a fire year and we have already had an attempted car bomb in Times Square this year. But the positive aspects of a fire year are many and should not be overlooked.</p>
<p>Fire years open up our creative abilities by stimulating the kundalini flow in your spine. This is good news if you&#8217;re trying to create a child, start a new business, or make big life changes such as taking a new job or moving to a new city. A stimulated kundalini  removes doubt and floods our energy system with goal oriented, positive energy that says you can overcome all obstacles and create your dreams! &#8212; <strong><em>Walter</em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em>Check back later this week for part two of this post and find out how a fire year can be a great time to change personal habits and renew your spirit.</em></strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>I&#8217;m glad your life&#8217;s journey has brought you to my website. I&#8217;ve been a clairvoyant all my life and a professional for the last 30 years. My goal is to offer people a broader clairvoyant understanding of their lives. I believe that we are all own best teachers. When we live with awareness we can learn from every interaction, experience and relationship.  Sometimes we need a helping hand on the journey and that&#8217;s what I strive to offer people. My intention is to offer clear, pragmatic clairvoyant perscpective that will help you either attain your goals or expand your understanding of the situation you are dealing with. &#8212; Walter Makichen</p>

So many women from throughout the world have told me how much this book has helped them. I am truly humbled to be a part of so many couple&#8217;s struggles and joy on their road to parenthood. It is an honor to help couples connect with their spirit babies and to be able to offer my clairvoyant perspective to help support their journey to conception. Working with couples either trying to get pregnant, new moms, or moms-to-be has become a very sacred part of my practice. It&#8217;s quite an experience to connect with so many spirit babies waiting to be born.</p>
