Message Number Seven

I have a friend who said to me recently, "I make more money by accident than most people do on purpose." I know this is a strange first sentence for a message from the Angels but the moment he said this to me I realize that he was working from an inner belief that he was meant to prosper. The Angels want me to talk to you a little about inner beliefs. What belief do you have, conscious  or unconscious, that drives you, that you hear when you wake up in the morning? This is your inner belief. It can be good or it can be unhealthy. This is what we need to think about when we think about what we want to change in our lives.

I sometimes think about when I was very young my mother told me that there was something special I was meant to do. I spent most of my life searching for what was that special thing? She probably only said it once, and who knows what she meant when she said it, but it stuck with me. It is because it resonated with what I already knew. Now if she had told me I was supposed to be a tight rope walker, I would have dismissed it immediately, because that has not resonated with my soul purpose.

Just for today, think about what is that inner belief that drives you? It could be "You will never amount to anything." I have an acquaintance who has struggled with that little tidbit his whole life, also from his parents. That obviously is one which needs to be replaced. It could have to do with your  weight, or your ability to function in this life, or how other people treat you. If you have time, get quiet today and ask yourself what is that inner belief and how can you change it? It is as easy as replacing it with a more productive belief. Now if you have believed it for a very long time, it will take some practice, but it can be done. Every time that belief pops into your head, just say, "thank you for sharing, but I am now replacing you with this belief instead...." and name your new belief.

Let's get started!!

Message Number Six

So far the messages I am receiving seem to be connected. My first post talked about a conversation with the spirit of the land upon which my gym resides and the second message was similar in talking about a connection with the spirit of the land upon which a local business resides and the message was about how connected we all are and how healing of one promotes the healing of all. This message is a little similar to that in that it talks about the connection of us all.

For several months I have been nursing a sore knee associated with my obsession with exercise. Some days are worse than others but recently I began to wear one of those knee pads on occasion when it was acting up. Recently I wore the knee pad to the gym and was working out at my normal pace when I happened to engage in conversation with one of the owners of the gym. He asked me about my knee and I told him that I had not been to the doctor, I just wore the knee pad because my knee hurt sometimes and it seemed to make it feel better. He suggested that sometimes injuries occur because the muscles around the sore muscle are not as strong as they should be. He suggested doing some squats and other exercises to strengthen the muscles around my knee. Sure enough, the pain in my knee has subsided after a week or two of some leg strengthening exercises.

I am of the belief that nothing happens by accident and that many times our bodies give us messages about what is going on inside of us. I asked my Angels and Guides if there was a message in this for me. They indicated that one sure way of making sure I was walking my path without pain was to make sure that others connected to me were strong as well. Many times I have the tendency to take on the pain of others and carry it around with me as if it were my own. My Guides told me that it was important that others that are close to me find their own strength and that this would ease my pain as well. How do you help strengthen others around you without intruding on their free will? My Guides told me that my knee had been carrying around the weight for other muscles around it and that this was causing pain and that by helping others to grow strong on their own without my intervention it was causing them to be strong and allowing me to be strong and free of pain myself. Sometimes carrying all the weight for someone else is not good for them or for me.  A part of one of the messages I recently received was that when one soul is healed then we all benefit and this message is similar in a different way. Sometimes the way to heal is to allow those you love to grow strong as well. And sometimes the way to do that is to not carry all that weight yourself. Yes, give encouragement. Yes, offer help when asked. But do not carry the weight of others life lessons around in your soul. Do not agonize if they make what seems to you to be wrong choices.

I find it interesting that this message comes to me on my mother's birthday. She was one of those who gave of herself constantly even up to the hours before her death. I remember telling her once that I felt like the cancer from which she suffered was the manifestation of years of allowing her service to others to drain her energy, her life blood. She continually gave of herself even when she was so weak she could barely make it out of bed. From her hospital bed she was calling others who were sick to check on them.  There is a fine line between giving of yourself in service to others and allowing others to drain you until there is nothing left.

This applies to my healing sessions as well. I offer help to others by retrieving parts of their souls and reuniting them to lost pieces of themselves. I administer reiki and send love and healing energy to wounded hearts and hurting bodies. However, the healing process is an individual thing and I cannot take responsibility if someone does not get better. I cannot doubt myself and wonder if I did everything I could have done. We all must walk our own path. I have no healing power of my own. It is all from my Source and I am only a hollow conduit through which the healing energy passes. This is an important lesson for anyone who feels called to help with the healing path of others.

Message Number Six: sometimes your own healing is related to allowing others in your life to grow strong on their own. You cannot carry the weight of everyone around you. When others around you are learning to be strong, then you are strong as well.

Message Number Five

In my time of meditation in listening for the message for today I was reminded that five in numerology is the number of change and surprise. We are in a universal year of change according to numerology which is found by adding all the numbers together in the current year. So 2012= 2 + 0 + 1 + 2  = 5. Some think of the number five as a challenging number because change can be good and it could also be bad but I am looking forward to this year. When calculating my personal numbers they are the same as the universal numbers so personally I am in a 5 year as well, a fact that the Universe has not let escape my attention. I have been seeing fives everywhere. So today my Source told me that one of the things that needed to change was my issue of control versus trust. I am a person who likes to have everything under control. I plan Thanksgiving dinner a month ahead and start bugging people about who is coming and what time and where people will sit etc etc etc. (Drives my husband nuts, completely nuts!!) So when I received the message from the Angels that I was to give a message every day for thirty days, I was hesitant due to my tendency to plan ahead . I wanted at least four or five messages ahead of time. What if one day I don't have time to sit still and get a message? What if I do get still and NO ONE shows up with a message for me? (I don't make these messages up, I just mostly take dictation.. or sometimes I get an idea in my head and I just expound on the idea.) So it is not by accident that the only word I got for today's message was .... TRUST.......and this is a big change for me: the control freak.

Obviously this message is for me but I am writing it down in case anyone else has issues with trust. Our Divine Source wants us to know that we can lay down our control at the feet of the Universe and just trust that everything is going to be okay. In my case, I am learning by this exercise in a message a day that every day I can wake up assured that I will get a message today. It is okay if I get it a day ahead of time but this will not always happen. Sometimes I am just going to have to trust that the Universe would not have given me this assignment if He/She was not going to come through. For anyone reading this, rest assured that if you believe you have received some direction from the Universe, God, Source, the Angels, whatever you call your Divine Guidance System, then rest assured that They are not going to leave you high and dry. Just trust that everything is going to be okay. This may be a big change for you, not having everything in control at all times.  That is what is so cool about Divine Guidance.

Today it is all about Trust. Give it a try.

Message Number Four

Today the message is about "prayers" for others. In the traditional sense of the word, prayers are words or thoughts we send out to a Divine Source, usually petitioning that Divine Source for guidance or intervention in our lives or the lives of others. There are, of course, prayers of thanksgiving, which are important and much welcomed by the Divine, but that is not the subject of today's message.

When I was an active participant in a religious group in the past, I was what was called an intercessor. I was one who interceded to God in behalf of others. I was in charge of a group of intercessors and we met weekly to pray for the needs of participants in our church organization and for others for whom we were made aware. Sometimes we made road trips, in which we would drive around our town and pray for the town and for certain areas in town, like the rough neighborhoods or the jails and hospitals. If I remember correctly, we usually would pray for healing for those who were sick, for those who were involved in crimes we would pray for a positive outcome, and for the perpetrators to find God. We would always leave the outcome to God.

Since I have gotten away from a structured religious setting, I have gotten away from the term prayer, but I like to send thoughts of love and light and the best possible outcomes for those with whom I come into contact. I was told years ago by my Guides that every thought I think is a prayer. That is why it is so important to watch our thoughts. That is also why if we become obsessed with worrying about our health or perhaps our finances, we create the reality of perpetually having issues in those areas. It is important to guard our thoughts and create the emotions around having the things that we need and desire, and not create scenarios in our heads of not having those things. But I digress.

What if we "pray" for particular outcomes for individuals that we perhaps do not know? How about praying for presidential candidates or even football players? Is is possible to pray a particular outcome for a football game? How about when we hear a story on the news about a child who has been abducted and we pray for that child to be found? How about when we pray for someone who is sick to be healed? Are the prayers we pray that are against the highest good of someone just thrown out by the Divine Source?

Once a woman in the church that I attended suffered a stroke. We all loved this woman and prayed hard for her recovery. I remember spending a great deal of time on my knees crying out for the restoration of this woman's health. In record time, it seemed to me, this woman was recovered and back in church. We were all sure that our prayers had brought her back, and it still seems to me even today that our prayers had some effect on this woman's recovery. However, a few months later, this woman died in her sleep. My Angels told me that this woman's soul wanted to cross over, but couldn't because of the prayers of the people who loved her. It was therefore necessary for her to die quickly during the night hours so that we who loved her did not have time to pray her back to health.

I remember when my mom was ill and suffering from cancer, it seemed she spent a great deal of time in pain, and we all loved her and continually prayed for her. She hung on despite the pain, and one day I received a message that I needed to give her permission to die. I contacted her soul while she was asleep and told her that we loved her but if it was time for her to go, we would all be all right. She died less than a month later. So it seems we are all connected. Yes, those who we love are held here by our prayers. But is it healthy to pray for particular outcomes?

My rule of thumb is to never pray for someone or send them energy without their permission to do so. We can always pray love and light and the best possible outcome for everyone concerned but we cannot know what that best outcome is. It is possible to contact that person's soul and request permission to send healing energy or to do healing work for them but despite the fact that we often think we know what is best for another person, we do not know what soul contracts that person made to live out in this lifetime. Sometimes a child dies because the death of that child catapults the parent of that child into a life of advocacy for other children who have perhaps died a similar death and then many families benefit from the one death of the one child. We are connected. It is not our job to decide what is right and wrong for someone else. We cannot say that others are making the wrong choices and pray for their minds to be changed or their behavior to be stopped. We can only pray for the best possible outcome for everyone concerned. I believe that when we decide that we know what is best for someone else and pray for specific outcomes without that person's permission, then we open the door to be manipulated in some way by others.

Message Number Four: Remember that your thoughts and words have power and that every thought is a prayer. When you think bad thoughts about others you are sending energy out into the universe that is bound to come back to you in some way. Always "pray" or send thoughts that are healing and loving and expect the best possible outcomes to occur. This leaves the specifics to the Divine Source who knows what is best anyway.

Message Number Three

Well I had another message set to come out today for message number three but this one seemed to jump out at me this morning so I decided that that the other one must be meant for another day....I got this message for a particular person which I emailed to them this morning but as I wrote I realized that there may be someone else who may benefit from this message..... straight from the Angels.......


. this short inspiration is exactly the message I got for you early this morning while I was still in half awake, half dream state. Imagine the life that you desire, feel it, visualize it, verbalize it. Raise those emotions to the highest level possible and keep them there no matter what curveball is thrown your way. The Universe will see those feelings of excitement, pleasure, hope and fulfillment and go out of its way to bring you those things!! This is an exciting year for you.. a year of new beginnings, new possibilities. It is not a year of endings. That was last year. Don't allow doubt or fear to dominate you. That will extinguish your dreams. When you are feeling low, breathe in, breathe out. Feel that place inside of you that is strong, that is full of possibilities, that is hope. Feel love and feel that light that dwells within you. And know that the Universe is conspiring to fulfill all your dreams, but can only do so with your permission. And your permission is the emotions you allow your soul to experience. Yes if you are angry. Be angry. But don't dwell on it. Get angry and then move up to the next better emotion. And then the next one and the next one.............until you reach that place of bliss...

With love..

Message Number Two

Okay here is the second of thirty messages which my Angels have assured me that I would be receiving over the next thirty days. My hopes are that each of the messages reaches the person or persons for whom it was intended and that the messages speaks to that person's heart and helps them along the way.

This message is about honoring the spirit that inhabits the land. Do you know that every location has a spirit that watches over that particular location? Our Mother Earth holds us all in Her hand and the imprint of acts in history make their mark on certain locations. That is why certain locations are considered holy and it seems like these locations are holy for centuries and it is also why other locations seem to hold "bad" energy as well. Have you ever noticed that there are certain locations where it seems that no business stays open for long or even certain houses are always up for sale. They will sell and then before you know it, they are up for sale again and again. This is because the spirit of that particular piece of land is not at rest. It may be that centuries ago there was a battle on that piece of land or possibly a murder or some other very emotional event.

Recently I was in a business and I felt led to connect with the spirit of the land upon which this store stood. It had been the location of a battle during the civil war. After connecting with the spirit of the land, I thanked the land for its contribution to our history and asked forgiveness for all the sadness and bloodshed that had occurred there.  Immediately I felt the blood that was still in the land under where this store stood. I felt the sadness and confusion of some of the spirits that still roamed the land. I felt that I needed to open up the gates to the other side and invite any who were still present to cross over if they so chose. I asked my Angels to open the portal to the other side and I felt that some did indeed cross over. Then I felt that the blood in the land needed to cross and be reunited with the soul of the person that it had been a part of. This was a new concept to me. I felt contacted by a man who told me that his soul had crossed over when he passed during this battle and that he was reincarnated in present time but that he was dealing with a lot of anger. He felt that it was because a portion of him still lay embedded in the land here and that he still held a lot of the emotions of the intensity of the killing and death that had occurred here. A part of him still held to the philosophy that he was fed for the reasons for the war but a part of him was tortured by the men he had killed and the lives he had watch perish as a result of his gun. I asked him if he would like to connect with the souls of those he had killed during this battle if they were willing and find resolution and he indicated that he would like that. I felt like a connection occurred and that there was resolution and a lot of the guilt and anger and intensity of emotion was healed in that moment.

I believe that we are all connected in a very real way and that what affects one affects us all. When there is healing for one soul then there is healing for us all, including the land upon which the atrocities occurred. After this connection occurred I asked the spirit of the land if it would be willing to allow healing to occur on this land from this time forward. I asked that from this point forward, that this business would be a place of healing and that the products on the shelves would promote a sense of well being for all who purchased them. I also asked that all who came into the store would feel the healing energy. Those who are connected with the store would all be blessed and be walking in their highest path.

I am happy to say that I felt the agreement of the land and I felt joy from the souls who found resolution from their centuries old hurts and traumas. Thanks to all the High and Loving Spirits and Guides who assisted me in the healing process.

A Message A Day

Last month near the end of the year, I had received a message that I was to post a message a day on my blog for the month of January, a message which I promptly ignored, as you who read my blogs can see. The first part of this month is a bit of a blur for me spiritually. I was receiving not much communication from the Higher Realms and I was glad that I had ignored the message, because what if I had posted my intention, and then no messages came through? And I wonder if people would actually check my blog every day for thirty days to read a message? Today while on the elliptical machine my Guides reminded me of the message, and I said to them, "Yes but it is too late. It is already the middle of January. I was supposed to start on January first, and obviously I did not do that." My Guides told me that in the Spirit it is never too late. Well okay. Today is January 15th so I am going to step out on a limb here and say that according to my Guides I am going to receive a message a day for the next thirty days. They will not be long messages, as some of my blogs tend to be, but nevertheless I have been told it is time to step out on a limb and do this. And here is the first of thirty messages...........

The message I got for today is in regards to all the talk about this year, 2012. I am not one who ascribes to the belief that the world is going to end this year, nor that we are going to go through some cosmic rapture into another dimension. Today I was connecting with the spirit of the land in which the shopping center where my gym is located inhabits. I was thanking this spirit for its participation in my life just by being the location where I exercise and also the place where I receive many of my messages, since the repetitive motion of the elliptical machine is for some reason conducive to a trance-like state where the Other Realms seem to be able to get through to me. I asked the spirit of the land if it minded being the location where a shopping center had been built. I felt the spirit of the land laugh at me. He reminded me that he did not live in time like I did. Relative to all the millenia he had been inhabiting that location, the shopping center was just a drop in the bucket of time. He helped me to understand that he enjoyed this particular drop in time. He felt the energy of those who came to exercise and it was a welcome change to him. He told me that asphalt and cinder blocks that made up the shopping center were not offensive to him. It was like all the people that come and go are like his children and he loves them all. He told me that just as I love my child no matter what age she is, but the love is different when she was two than it is now that she is twenty six, it is the same for him and the other High Guides that watch over mankind. Some of the children are two in their evolution and some are very old, but They love all their children no matter what stage of life they are in. It is the same, he told me, with all the talk of 2012. Some are predicting disasters and some are predicting rapture and some are disinterested in the whole concept. It is because all of Their children are in different stages of their development, and each would experience the year in exactly the way they should. Some may experience disaster, some may find enlightenment, and many will find themselves somewhere in between. The important thing, he told me, is to embrace whatever place you may find yourself. Enjoy the journey, he said to me. This year was to be a year of great change. Some may find it to their liking, and some not so much, and some may not see much change at all in their everyday lives, but everyone would be exactly where they should be. And that is because there are no "shoulds".

This was a good message for me. It shows me that there is no reason to judge anyone on the stage of evolution in which they find themselves. Just like a child who is two likes to have temper tantrums and that is somewhat expected but not necessarily embraced, it becomes a different matter if the same soul is still having temper tantrums at fifteen or twenty. But still in the cosmic picture, this is still just a drop in the bucket of time. Eventually the temper tantrums will stop and all of us souls will figure things out.

So come on, 2012. I am ready for whatever you have for me.
