The Holy Guardian Angel Within
There are angels all around us, guiding us, whispering to us in our dreams, trying to get our attention. Life can get so busy that we often don’t see or hear their subtle messages.
I was at a spiritual expo recently, doing readings and sharing messages. Several clients who sat down for a session, mentioned the intense energy they felt in the building that day. Some even experienced a glow or halo effect around the building, before they walked in.
Energy was indeed everywhere that day. There was the energy emitted by crystals on display, which we can entrain to balance our energies, as well as the many other sacred items the vendors were selling. There were also various kinds of healing techniques being practiced, as well as the many other metaphysical services being offered. But, most importantly, I believe there was the light inside each person that was amplified by our own Holy Guardian Angel.
There was an invisible connection happening with all of us there that day. We were seekers on the same path, acknowledging the Divine spark within each of us. Everyone was kind and patient. I have experienced this phenomena repeatedly at spiritual retreats and events, but also in the everyday places of life. Life is sacred and we are magical beings.
Healing Your Family Lineage
Have you ever heard a whisper from your ancestors that is clearly guiding you? Sometimes it also comes as a gesture of approval. I have heard my fair share, including one of my dearest family members whispering to me, and calling me by name, as she left her hospital bed at the time of her passing. It was so clear, sacred and spot on! She was letting me know how to deal with issues that would be coming my way after her passing, because she would no longer be there to protect me. And, oh, the validation! It meant so much – far more than my mere words can express. Stemming the flow is indeed observed by our ancestors.
Every lineage has wounds that are passed along throughout generations. The trauma is deeply ingrained in our ancestry. There are no exceptions. Lucky are those of us who have chosen to affect the healing of these imprints. Usually, in a generation, it is the task of the person that is most misunderstood.
If that person is you, it is your sacred task and a path of honor that is earned through hardship on many levels, especially familial relationships. No worries. Your ancestors are guiding you. If you listen closely, you will hear them speak encouragingly. And, be sure to watch for indications of their presence. Indeed, they are witnessing for you.
What You Might Not Know About Reincarnation
Reincarnation, or the rebirth of our spiritual form into different bodies over time, is a broadly accepted concept across many spiritual traditions and cultures. It is a natural extension of the Law of Karma, which tells us that there is no cause without effect, nor effect without a cause. But beyond the basic concept, many of us don’t know very much about this eternal cycle.
Nature is full of these ongoing cycles: the planets in their orbits, the seasons here on Earth. We, in both our physical and spiritual states, are no different. At the moment of conception, our cells begin to multiply at exponential, and highly patterned rates, until the time comes for our physical birth. It is widely believed that each soul, or reincarnated spirit, enters the body when we first draw breath.
It is the agents of karma, among them the angels, who decide, for specific reasons, which souls will occupy each new body. Perhaps there are lessons to be learned or obstacles to overcome. The point is, it is believed that we ourselves do not choose.
In many spiritual traditions, such as Buddhism, the purpose of reincarnation is such that each soul may learn the requisite number of lessons in physical form to ultimately achieve enlightenment, or nirvana. One truth not commonly known is that many more souls exist in the Universe than there are physical people on Earth. A soul may not be reborn immediately following one death; it may wait for hundreds or thousands of years.
Remote Healing
After receiving a profound remote healing experience, just a few weeks ago, I now know that distant healing really does work! Successful remote healing sessions have been documented in the past, where the recipient was totally unaware that they were being worked on. But I feel that being receptive to the healing makes a significant contribution to the healing process.
My remote healing was done by a couple who work as a team. Their work has had a profound effect on me. The dynamic healing duo includes an emotional intuitive and a medical intuitive. I never had any pain issues with my hips, but they told me that there was a blockage in my right hip, caused by blocked emotions. To my surprise, the following day, my right hip ached!
The healing team picked up on so much information energetically which they could never have known about me, and in addition to their healing session, they gave me tools to assist in releasing any negative, pent-up emotions, as well as letting go of any people connected to my buried emotional pain. When left unattended, old emotional wounds prevent us from moving forward in joy. Old wounds can go far back to childhood, or even into past lives.
Communicating Kindness – A Message From My Guides
Our focus today is on being kind to those who are close to you and improve your communication with those you love. Sometimes people are inclined to take their loved ones for granted and speak with them entirely differently than they would speak to a stranger.
It is easy to be kind when showing genuine support and encouragement, but it can be more difficult when giving disagreeable advice, or chastising. Overall, it is much more challenging to be kind when expressing any kind of criticism. To counteract these challenges, we have three recommendations that might help.
Our first proposition is to listen actively. Many people are so compelled to answer while another is speaking that they formulate their responses without actually hearing what is truly being said. They assume that they know where the conversation is going so they miss any nuance or undercurrent within the comments being made.
Staying silent without interrupting can be very challenging, especially when you are eager to expand on positive commentary or ready to disagree with every fiber of your being. It might take an inordinate amount of practice, however, if you can master the art of listening well, people will soon think of you as a great conversationalist.
Forget Self-Love
If you are wounded or unhealed; if you grew up in a dysfunctional family; if you grew up in an environment of poverty, violence, racism, or sexual assault… forget self-love! Seriously. Where on Earth would you have learned the skills for giving yourself some healthy self-love? You will be shooting in the dark trying to do something that you have never seen modeled for you, and never really experienced.
‘Self-love’ has become an overrated marketing slogan to sell self-improvement products and services. Start instead with self-care. This will be difficult enough. If you have children, think back on how complex it was figuring out how to care for your first born. The same concept applies to owning your first pet as an adult. No matter how much you prepared, you were never truly prepared. You made mistakes and you learned from them.
You also discovered that sometimes caring for your child meant doing things that the child did not like, or even hated. Your child would cry, fight, throw a tantrum, while you tried to keep him away from the hot stove, or from putting something harmful in her mouth.
Learning self-care is similar to raising a child or caring for a puppy. However, you will be the child and Spirit will be the parent. You will make mistakes and you will resist, because some of the things you currently think are acts of self-care are actually harmful to you. Continue reading
The Importance Of Clearing Negative Energy
A couple days ago, I needed to be in contact with a company that I frequently do business with. So, I called customer service to address the reason for my call. On the other end of the phone was a customer service representative with whom I instantly knew the call was not going to go smoothly. In an effort to not be rude myself, I proceeded graciously with the call, explaining the matter I needed assistance with.
Of course the call went just as I suspected it would. The owner of the disagreeable voice on the other end would not help me with my problem, and gave me every reason, valid or invalid, on why she could not do what I was asking.
After some back and forth with her, I politely asked to speak to someone else, as I felt her and I were talking in circles. She transferred me to another person and my issue was handled promptly. In fact, the purpose for my call was resolved in just a few minutes!
After hanging up, I kept thinking about the first person I spoke with and why she felt the need to be so unhelpful. Well, before I knew it, and without even realizing I did it, I mistakenly grabbed some of her negative energy, just by thinking of our interaction. This is a ‘rookie mistake’ that should not have happened, given my level of metaphysical experience and training, but it did. As soon as I discovered my slip up, I immediately released her toxic energy. I put the whole incident out of my mind and went about my day… or I thought I did.
