How To Survive The Holiday Season
Some people really dread the holiday season. Many people love spending time with their extended families, but it can be stressful. Family gatherings can cause a major deal of anxiety, frustration, anger and conflict. Whatever challenges you may be facing with your family this upcoming holiday season, here is some friendly psychic advice that may be useful to you at this time. With these few key tools, that are simple for anyone to use, you can thoroughly enjoy yourself and not stress as much. Let’s make this year enjoyable, rather than dreading it, or even regretting it.
Gratitude
We should live in perpetual gratitude, but we don’t. You woke up again this morning, and that is a legitimate gift from universe. Worst case scenario is that you might not have made it to today, but here you are! I’m not saying you need to pray, but it wouldn’t hurt. Meditate and focus on all the good things you have in this life.
Dirty Little Secrets
So many of us have secrets. Some sneak food, others drink alcohol, or they have a sugar habit, can’t have an orgasm, or they are depressed. More interestingly, in my experience, some people in the helping, motivation, exercise, or spiritual industry often have more secrets than most. They keep these secrets, because they have more to lose. If they are supposed to be selling a service or product that ‘works’… appearances matter (perhaps even more than the practice they sell).
Furthermore, people love to worship their idols and gurus… who are sometimes frail and imperfect humans themselves. We create heroes who in turn create themselves. Some of these ‘heroes’ come close to revealing themselves, most are only revealed after their death. In truth, we have no idea what other people are really going through in their lives. Nor do we typically want to know. Instead we prefer to worship some ideal. This helps us to further self-criticize, because we are not that ideal like them. And this in turn encourages everyone to keep more secrets.
Past Life Curiosity
Past lives and reincarnation is something that not everyone believes in. Personally, I am not sure either. What exactly is a past life anyway? Sometimes I feel it is a familiar memory from our past, which triggers a feeling of familiarity, and sometimes I think it’s multi-dimensional.
A past life is best described as a different time period in which your soul lived. But with time being man made, an idea to measure things, this idea hypothesis could also be a subconscious memory from this current lifetime that feels familiar. Confused? Good. Me too!
It is also referred to by experts as an incarnation. It allegedly may have been many, many years ago, or not so long ago. It is a unique experience for each individual soul.
I believe our souls have the opportunity to live in multiple lifetimes, in multiple dimensions at the same time. This typically happens if our soul hasn’t learned all the lessons it was meant to, before retiring to heaven. Or sometimes it’s just because our souls aren’t ready to be done.
The Wisdom Of Forgiveness With Healthy Boundaries
We all have experienced the unease of feeling unable to forgive someone who has wronged us in some way. Sometimes it is really hard to let go of the way someone has gossiped about us, for example. It is difficult to understand why some people have the need to act the way they do, especially when these people are directly or indirectly related to us. Some families just split up and have nothing more to do with each other, because of this lack of forgiveness.
I was meditating on this one night before bed, and asked the Great Spirit to give me deeper insight and understanding on forgiveness. I had consciously made the healing decision for myself, that I will no longer share and keep space open for those who continue to do the same things to me, over and over, because it is unhealthy for me. But, I still felt the need to forgive. And I needed insight on how to do this.
Spirit Orbs Among Us
Orbs are among us. These balls of light sometimes show up in photographs and are believed to be ghostly entities, as they typically show up in cemeteries and haunted buildings. However, it has been my experience that an orb can show up anywhere, anytime…even in places one would never expect to see one.
I have been seeing orbs all my life, as far back as I can remember. Seeing orbs always gives me a feeling of loving spirit around me. It is my belief that spirit orbs are pure energy and love. They are consciousness.
Some orbs that appear in a photograph may be a speck of dust or insect. But not the ones I see. In fact, when some of those ‘speck of dust’ photos are enlarged, you can sometimes recognize a face in it. So, you may want to take another look at some of those orb photos.
Orbs often just float right by, suspended in the air. They may stop and be stationary for a few seconds, and then speed right away. Orbs come in all shapes and sizes in an array of colors. Just like people they are all unique. And what one person can see, another may not see.
Near-Death Experiences Teach Us About Living
Near-death experiences have been in the public consciousness for some time now. The experience itself is rather universal across different cultures: a feeling of peace and serenity, as well as a glimpse of the world beyond, before returning to this life. Each of these experiences has a lesson to be learned for those still living, no matter who the survivor may be.
Maybe the most widely reported feeling by those who have had a near-death experience (NDE) is a renewed sense of purpose and meaning. A mundane life may lack these qualities (we think) until a brush with death reminds us why we live, and for whom – ourselves, our loved ones. Additionally, even those who previously said they were not spiritual may find themselves more drawn to the Divine and the mysteries of the Universe following a NDE.
The Importance Of Setting Boundaries
I think my life-long lesson is boundaries and setting them. When I first started my journey in recovery, I had no clue what boundaries were. I think I am still learning them as I encounter situations, both spiritual and otherwise.
What is a boundary? A boundary is a self-imposed limit on behaviors determining how you are to be treated, what type of behavior you will or will not tolerate, and how you will react when you feel those boundaries have been violated.
One example of a personal boundary is someone yelling at you. You tell the person yelling at you, not to yell at you, otherwise you will walk up and leave the room. Then you get up and walk away from the situation if their behavior persists.
Another example is inappropriate tardiness. An individual tells you they will be at a place at a certain time. You are there on time, but the other person is not. You wait and wait. Then after several minutes, you leave. If the person shows up late without letting you know, they are out of luck. The person shows you who they are when they do not show up on time. Your time is precious and it shows a level of disrespect.
