Lost In A Dream
Even if we don’t always recall our dreams, we do have them every night. These are encoded messages from the most honored area, the higher self. There is no negative impact connected to this particular source of information. It is simply an individual guidance system that can help lead us into successful areas, or steer us away from potential danger zones. Once we acknowledge that we react from our thoughts and emotions, and understand what the end results are, we are then able to assist our own motives and create a change in the course we have set out for ourselves.
Dream interpreters can potentially evaluate, analyze and understand what all the signs, symbols, colors, and so on, may mean for us, pertaining to how we are conducting our daily lives. Dreams can hold a wealth of any type of information.
Spiritual Development, Or Putting Out Fires?
Many people come to me when life gets tough, things go south, dreams are crashed, emergencies are looming, and then, once they are up and running so to speak, off they go again. I call this ‘putting out fires.’ It is just a superficial solving of problems, getting quick answers, or even seeking to ‘feel good again’ once the externals in their life are working… for now. When the problems come back, people then once again seek out another ‘fix’ without addressing any of the underlying reasons or issues, or energetic or spiritual causes of the problem.
Treating only he symptoms will provide quick relief, or perhaps simply some entertainment value. It can be a way to distract yourself, in order to feel good again. Seems a bit like having a drug, alcohol, sugar or nicotine habit, no? Therapists run into this same issue. People seek out therapy when there is an issue, problem, challenge, or they don’t feel good, when actually the best time to get deep work done, to actualize your growth, expand and get stronger, is when you are stabilized (at least a bit), and when you are strong enough to have the psychic and emotional space to grow – not just struggling to get out of pain, or fear, or grief.
The Right To Belief
As with the waves of the seas and the motions the wind, there is a beauty in the rhythm of the regularity of belief. With this, people always seem to feel it is best to add an element of surprise to outwit their own survival, to outwit nature, or even God, and with that, tend to cheat their own survival.
Nature itself does not fear or care, nor does spirit fear itself. It may fear for us, in its own, benevolent self, but it has no personal concern for morals that we decree in order to trap or harm each other. It is as free and as spirited as itself, and does not care for our intellectual opinions. As such it also may not have as much of a concern with our egos, as we are its children.
But with our own gloating selves, and in being able to intuit or divine, and daring to outwit, declare, organize or define, we have not been able to decide why we want to control that which cares for us. Is it just that we have a misdirected relationship with ourselves, our families, our communities, our church? Is it simply a naive sense we have, that we need to control everything and everyone?
How To Truly Help Others Without Ego
As a spiritual or metaphysical practitioner there is no substitute for having a spiritual mentor or teacher of your own to guide you. People typically tend to continue the same ego-driven behaviors in their lives, over and over, not catching it. They can’t catch it without practice and guidance from someone who can help them see the nuances of slipping back into ego-dominated behaviors.
In other words, a workshop or certification course, or reading some articles and books, and then practicing on your own, typically will not offer you much success in personal transformation or your field of work. As Einstein said, you cannot solve problems with the same mind, i.e. mindset, paradigm, consciousness, level of awareness, that created the problem in the first place. This is why people go to 12-step meetings, psychotherapy, support groups or work with a mentor, guru, or teacher – to get viewpoints, input, suggestions, guidance from other people who are also on a journey.
How To Survive Full Moon Sensitivity
Ever notice that during a Full Moon your emotions are heightened? Some people also have trouble sleeping, while others can’t get enough sleep. It is also the time of a month when first responders and hospital emergency rooms tend to be more busy. Parents and teachers also tend to feel like they are running around like headless chickens around this time.
Personally, I find myself much more sensitive during this time. I can see the effects on my clients as well. During full moons I like to try to keep to myself and observe, it’s a good way to prevent these sensitivities from affecting me too much.
Full moon energy affects all of us, but the length and strength is different for everyone. Depending on our astrological charts, if the Moon is in an area of the zodiac that is an important aspect of our chart, it could deeply affect us. It is an individual experience to be sure.
Spiritual Guidance Through Synchronicity
In the many years that I have been a spiritual advisor, I have gained tremendous confidence in Spirit’s ability to lead us. I believe that the Source from which we came is always supporting us, leading us, and speaking to us.
As a spiritual advisor it is my job to pay attention to the language of Spirit. However, the language of Spirit is not only reserved for spiritual practitioners. In fact, some of the best readings that I have given to others were confirmations of what Spirit had already been saying to them directly. I believe that one of the purposes of spiritual advisors on our planet is to gently guide people into understanding the language of Spirit for themselves and to confirm for them that they are always guided and supported.
Night Owls
I am a typical night owl. ‘Night owl’ is the nickname often given to people who are typically awake late at night, while the rest of the world are asleep and dreaming. I believe as long as one gets enough sleep to maintain your health, it really doesn’t matter whether you are a night owl… or an early bird. ‘Early bird’ is, of course, the nickname that is usually assigned to the early risers.
This brings up a question that my clients and students ask a lot. Why do I wake up almost every night between 3:00 and 4:30am? Well, it’s traditionally called the ‘witching hour.’ As a psychic medium I know from experience that this is the time when spirit can come through more easily, because there is more moisture in the air at this time of the night. We are bio-electrical beings and spirit is pure energy. With water being a conductor for electricity, it makes sense it would be easier for them to communicate with us at this time.
