Gifts from the heart are always the most valuable gifts\u2014they can almost never be bought or wrapped. Just because you have the financial means, it doesn\u2019t mean you should open your wallet and pull out a few bills. There are better gifts to give. They are called heart-centered gifts.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Psychic Judianne ext. 5129\" href=\"http:\/\/www.californiapsychics.com\/psychics\/judianne-5129.aspx?utm_source=blog-articles&amp;utm_medium=blog-articles&amp;utm_campaign=cta-psychic-judianne-ext-5129\"><em><strong>Your detailed relationship reading is waiting! Click here to learn more about Psychic Judianne ext. 5129.<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>Heart-Centered Gifts <\/b><\/p>\n<p>Heart-centered giving requires you to open your heart and not your wallet. Sadly, some people have a difficult time doing so. So many people are more in the head (the ego) than in the heart.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><b>Wants and Needs <\/b><\/p>\n<p>Think about the people in your life. What do they really want? What do they really need? If you know a new mom, you could give her a day to herself. If you know someone who is feeling lonely, spend the day with them. Know a fatherless child? Play ball with them. These are all gifts from the heart!<\/p>\n<p><b>Ego-Centered Giving<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Ego-centered gifts are gifts (material or non-material) that satisfy an ego craving. An ego craving is the feeling of wanting praise or recognition when giving a gift. Ego-centered givers want to be admired for the amount of money they spent on a gift or how many gifts they gave, for example. We are all guilty of this.<\/p>\n<p><b>Mortgage or Christmas Gifts?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>One year when I was a single mother of three children, I spent the mortgage money on Christmas gifts for my kids. They loved their gifts, and they thought I was the best mom ever. But I spent the next three months crying to the bank and trying to pay the money back. Spending the mortgage money on gifts was clearly not a wise decision. I thought I was giving these gifts from the heart, but looking back, I realize now that they were coming from the ego.<\/p>\n<p><b>A Lesson With Cookies <\/b><\/p>\n<p>Every year, my daughters and I get together and make Christmas cookies with their children for their teachers. It\u2019s a fun, messy day spent with family. I love this family tradition because it teaches my grand kids that there are many different types of gifts to give. Sure, they still want their games and toys, but at least they are learning a valuable lesson about heart-centered giving.<\/p>\n<p><b>The Gift of a Spiritual Journey <\/b><\/p>\n<p>As a psychic, I have received many gifts from my callers. They call me to tell me that my readings have given them closure, peace of mind and the strength to move forward. My readings have empowered them and helped them to get excited about their future. They often don\u2019t realize that they are giving me heart-centered gifts in return.<\/p>\n<p>I am on a spiritual journey (and you are too), and every reading I do takes me further. I have met some incredible people along the way and look forward to meeting more. You can\u2019t put a price on that!<\/p>\n<p>Remember, gifts should always come from your heart.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Psychic Judianne ext. 5129\" href=\"http:\/\/www.californiapsychics.com\/psychics\/judianne-5129.aspx?utm_source=blog-articles&amp;utm_medium=blog-articles&amp;utm_campaign=cta-psychic-judianne-ext-5129\"><strong>Psychic Judianne ext. 5129<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em><strong>About California Psychics<\/strong><br \/>\nCalifornia Psychics is the most trusted source of <a class=\"in-cell-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.californiapsychics.com\/psychic-readings\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">psychic readings<\/a>.
