The Power of Perspective
Angie Welch

As a medium and spiritual development teacher I coach a lot of people on their spiritual paths.  I help them to identify and focus on their dreams, their goals and also the steps they might need to take. Helping to provide clarity and insight is paramount for people seeking peace, healing or change.  I’ve recently noticed two areas of my teaching where the concept of “perspective” has been coming up a lot lately. Most notable when I work with people on Manifestation and the Law of Attraction, and during the Intuitive and Mediumship development classes in regards to giving readings.  Let me explain first, why it’s important to understand the power of perspective.  I’m hoping this will help YOU as well, as you think about your own life and things that arise.

Perspective can be the difference between success and failure.  It can mean continued pain or the path to healing.  It can be seen as an opportunity or a challenge.  A perspective can be confusing or give you complete understanding.  The thing with perspective is - it is 100%  individual!  Perspective is the story WE apply to a situation or event.  You see, it’s said that 5 people can see the same accident, and have 5 different stories or perspectives as to what happened.  10 people can read the same exact book and give you a completely different explanation of what they believe it was about.  Take for example when a couple separates or divorces.  How many different perspectives can be applied here to what happened to the relationship?  One thing is for sure, as a bystander, (or even when WE are in the midst of a situation)  we must be very careful with our perspective as it may lead to judgment.  Judgement clouds facts. Also remember, that it is very common for your perspective to shift and change over time.

Now, when we talk of manifesting, we know that thoughts are very powerful.  In accordance with the Law of Attraction, you attract INTO your life those things, circumstances and conditions that correspond with the nature of your dominant, habitual thoughts and beliefs, both conscious and subconscious. The basic premise of the Law of Attraction is that like energy attracts like energy.  Yes, whatever you focus on is magnetically drawn to you and grows.  Every single time. 

What people often miss in regards to their PERSPECTIVE with the Law of Attraction is that if you spend all your time trying to focus on understanding your problems, issues or perceived limitations, then guess what you will very likely be attracting and creating MORE of in your life?  If you guessed more of these problems, issues or perceived limitations, then you would be tight.  Even though you may be working hard on your spiritual development, trying to understand and fix the problem, you may start beating yourself up with the perspective that you are failing and give up.  HOLD UP!.  There IS a solution to this. Switch up your perspective to the situation. If you notice that all that focus on understanding the problem is just snowballing things… then DON’T focus on the problems… focus instead on your desired OUTCOMES and ask for solutions to be shown to you. In fact make a declaration that you are “so grateful the solutions are being shown to me.” By changing your perspective you’ll find you start manifesting those things you want!  Of course, you need to remember… the solutions might not be what you wanted or hoped for. But at least you’ll have an opportunity to move forward.

Another confusing thing with perspective can show up during psychic or mediumship readings.  Remember how I said that 10 people could read the same book and give 10 different accounts of the story?  Well, that can happen in readings as well.  This is how I explain it to my mediumship development students.  Let’s say that both I and another medium give you a reading.  Some of the information may be similar and some of it may be very different. It doesn’t mean that one of us is right and the other is wrong.  It likely means we are just getting a little different perspective to the big picture.  For example, I might see your grandfather as someone who made you laugh and always gave you quarters simply because he liked to see you smile. I see him as a kind, gentle man.   The other medium might see your grandfather as someone who really cared about his family and made it his priority to provide for them. In fact he worked at least two jobs at any given time.  A different message? Maybe.  But perhaps not so much.  Perhaps we are just focusing on a different perspective of your grandfather.  

And a final note… Remember, perspective comes from our personal life experiences.  When we are faced with challenges we might get frustrated and see things from a place of panic, fear, anger or hurt.  When you are viewing things from that perspective it can be really hard to see solutions or to see anything good at all!  When you find yourself viewing something as a challenge, try switching your perspective to one focused on finding an opportunity for growth, healing, grace, love or compassion.  If you’re struggling with perspective, it might be the perfect time for a reading.  A different perspective could give you the needed insight, power and strength to move forward.
