Remember To Treasure The Living Years
Many of us attach personal meaning to songs. Perhaps it is a song played at your wedding, or a family member’s favorite tune, or something meaningful from your childhood years.
Psychics often have songs come to mind during readings, or we find they are playing on the car radio after we were just thinking of that special family member or friend. We then take that as a sign that they are watching over us and that they had just stepped in from the Spirit side of life to make their presence know.
These songs can be the triggers for memories that we once treasured, or continue to treasure, or to remind you how precious and loved you are.
For me Ave Maria and Unchained Melody (from the Ghost movie during the pottery making scene) are songs that I have attached over the years to my mother’s presence. Ave Maria because that was one of her favorite songs. When she was younger she apparently sang it on stage a few times in Vienna.
I never did get to hear her sing it, but family said it was incredible. Later in life, when I found this out, she said her voice had broken and would not sing it for me. I often tried to imagine how great it must have been to hear her sing, as I looked at her picture.
Remember Your Spirit Companions These Holidays
The coming holiday season will bring moments of love, belonging, joy for many of us, but for some also quiet sadness, a sense of longing, or the weight of hope and expectation.
For many of us, the presence of loved ones, friendships and traditions makes the season a blessing. For others, absence, change or inner unrest may be circling beneath the surface of all the celebration.
In these times, remember this one truth: you are never truly alone.
Our spiritual allies, the loving ancestors, guides and angels who walk beside us, draw closer during the holidays.
If you’re reading this and feeling the silent burden of absence, of someone who has passed away, or a chapter in your life has come to an end, know this: your emotions are more intense during this time of heartache. Spirits of loved ones often visit. Moments that evoke a sense of familiarity, like the scent of a familiar song from a particular era or the flicker of a light.
They are not here to judge our shadows or fix our lives. They come as compassionate companions, holding space for our full experience: the laughter, the tears, the memory, the longing. They appear in silence, in stillness, in the quiet corners of the heart.
These allies, our spirit guides, understand the human journey deeply. They remember our past, sense our present and orient toward our soul’s purpose. Continue reading
Spiritual Awakening ‘Turns On The Light’
What exactly is a spiritual awakening, and is there a way you can tell if you are having one? Here are some ways to be aware of what is happening to you.
The first sign is usually when you are no longer living in a ‘dream world,’ where you used to see everything through your human ego and you were overly focused on the future and your past.
This is a clear sign that you are becoming more spiritually aware. You have a greater awareness of your individual self and the connection between that and everything else. Things start to come into better focus in your life and make more sense.
When you closely examine various religions and faith traditions, there is usually a common thread that describes this state of heightened awareness as nirvana, enlightenment, or awakening.
This new consciousness happens when you stop being the observer, and instead ask yourself, who is observing?
Many people go through life on ‘autopilot,’ because that is what they were taught, or they simply fell into a routine without giving much thought to who they really are, or what they truly need or desire to make their life meaningful.
Asking such questions about yourself is important for your personal growth and self-realization. It is ‘turning the light on’ so to speak. The first step in growth is always the awareness of the present moment followed by an impulse to change something. Continue reading
The Ultimate Guide To Seeing Repetitive Numbers
Repetitive numbers, appearing frequently in your daily life, are often signs from your angels and spirit guides. When they appear in your life, it is time to pay attention.
These number sequences can come in many ways, for example on the face of a clock, a television station number, a license plate, a flight or seat number, and so forth. So, pay attention.
Don’t look for the numbers, they will appear to you when needed. When your angels feel it is important for you to receive a particular message, you shall receive it. Take heed of the message and your thoughts, words, or actions at the time the number sequence appears.
Each sequence carries its own energetic vibration and spiritual meaning. These are not random coincidences or patterns of chance. Seeing the same number sequences repeatedly tare part of a divine language or code through which higher guidance communicates with you.
Numbers are among the oldest forms of spiritual symbolism known to humanity, appearing in sacred texts, ancient mystery schools, and mystical traditions across the world. From Pythagoras to the Kabbalists, numbers have always been understood as living frequencies that shape the universe.
When repetitive numbers begin showing up in your experience, your awareness is being heightened. The universe is drawing your attention to something. There is usually a shift in energy, a new direction, or a deeper spiritual truth unfolding within you.
The Great Awakening: You Were Born for This Moment!
The shift is constantly rising. The veil continues to lift. Some feel it more than others. We are living in a very different energy frequency today, compared to a decade or two ago.
These are the days you want to walk with caution and discernment, and there are many different tools you can use to get in tune with your higher self and experience some of these wonderful things.
You can now increasingly see and feel things before they happen, you can experience wonderful things, but you must be living with your heart and mind open to connect with others and live with clarity and lightness of being.
There are things you can do to raise your vibration to match the global awakening, just as there are things you can do to lower your vibration. Unconditional love, and keeping your heart and mind open, raises and connects you to others who are on the same path as yourself.
You can connect with other light beings and enlightened souls by being positive, as well as through meditation, prayer and listening to uplifting music. Some of my favorite music is classical and Indian mediation music. I find it heightens my frequency a lot.
Become a part of the great awakening, the wonderful age that we are living in right now. You don’t want to live with blinkers on, you want to be alert and know who your companions are and make sure they are not sucking the life out of you. You want to surround yourself with positive, spiritually aware people.
Just What Exactly Is Your Higher Self?
Do you keep hearing the term “Higher Self” and wonder what exactly it means? You’re not alone.
For a spiritual term that gets mentioned so often, the concept can feel surprisingly vague. Depending on who you ask, it might refer to your soul, your intuition, your divine essence…or even a more perfect, higher-dimensional ‘doppelgänger’ version of yourself.
Confusing? Absolutely. But also fascinating.
So, let’s explore and unpack what the Higher Self actually is.
From my own perspective, I like to think of the Higher Self as my soul’s GPS. For me it is an ever-present, intuitive inner voice gently guiding me toward choices and paths that align with my spiritual evolution.
Like an inner GPS, it may repeat itself when I’m off track, whispering that familiar message: “Recalculating route.” Sometimes, we don’t want to hear it, but when we listen, life flows more smoothly.
Our bodies also serve as translators for the Higher Self. That “gut feeling” when something is off? That’s your Higher Self warning you.
That heart-flutter of excitement when a choice feels right? That’s your inner GPS saying “yes.” When we treat the Higher Self like a best friend, who is loving, honest, and always rooting for us, we begin to live more authentically.
Over the years, I’ve come to recognize my Higher Self as a quiet, consistent presence that urges me to become more of who I truly am. It has helped me navigate challenges, offered insight during moments of uncertainty, and nudged me toward experiences that ultimately helped me grow.
Simple Guidelines For Real Spiritual Growth
Spirituality is a wide-ranging concept with many diverse perspectives. In essence it is the process through which our inner being seeks to relate to something bigger than ourselves. It is the search for the meaning and purpose of our human existence.
Spirituality is about our soul or spirit, and the unseen realms, as opposed to material things and physical life. It is also the life-long pursuit of inner peace, unconditional love, and existential wisdom and understanding.
Many people believe that the secret to spiritual growth and development can only be found in a book, a lecture, dogmatic belief system, or some other product or service that will magically unlock the doors to spiritual insight, happiness, joy and fulfillment.
However, spirituality is a unique, personal path that each of us can explore on our own, from within. The following guidelines may be helpful on your journey towards spiritual fulfillment.
Reflection
The first step in personal spiritual growth is reflecting on your life journey. To be spiritual is to be questioning and inquisitive. Spiritual growth is a process of constantly learning and improving. One must be willing to open yourself to personal and spiritual growth, and by doing this your world opens up and things become less scary.
Holding on to past events keeps us from experiencing new adventures, and the emotional baggage will only weigh you down. Accept your past mistakes and learn from them. Reflect on what changes need to happen for you to move forward.
We are all teachers. We are either teaching someone, or they are teaching us – both good and bad. Learn from your experiences and move on with life.
