Channeled When I was Experiencing a Lot of Emotional Pain

As always, it came ‘out-of-nowhere’, and, again, as always, it gave me immediate relief and restored my peace.  Thank You, Spirit…Again…

Spirit said to me: “I can feel your pain…but, my dear, to heal it you must figure out what your 50% is..if you can.  If you are not told, then it is karmic, and you need to ask God to give you the strength and courage to face the consequences of your actions and for help to overcome the hurt and resentment in your heart, if there is any, for both yourself and for anyone else you may be blaming…unconsciously…..

How to Access a Solution to a Problem; Even If Your Ego Tells You There Is None

It’s the scariest thing in the world to be in fear and trying to understand why you’re feeling it.

You want to run from it so badly.

Why is it so scary to be in the fear while trying to understand it?

The feeling (fear) passes as soon as you confront it by asking why you are feeling it.  BUT, it feels as though you are going to annihilate instead.  This is the ‘Gate of Hell that must be passed through in order to achieve your goal

It is one of the most difficult tasks you have to accomplish, and yet, it gives you the reward of self achievement that will last a lifetime, that no man can ever take away. It is a feeling so special that it is indescribable; one that is cherished because it was earned.

From Judgment to Non-Judgment: Transitioning From “It is O.K.” to “It is Perfect”

“Good judgment comes from experience, and
a lot of that comes from bad judgment.”  Will Rogers

Isabel Hickey, my astrological teacher and now spirit mentor, wrote: “Life is flowingness, and in is flowing there is meaning and (cosmic) law. I cannot lose what is my own. I need not seek what is my own for what belongs to me shall come.  If anything goes, it is because it does not belong to me.  What I am alone has power.  If I give up the personal struggle and ambition, all that is rightfully mine will be drawn to me.  I let go and Let God run my life.” Life doesn’t change.  The same ‘issues’ arise.  What CAN and IS changing is my reaction to life.

An acquaintance emailed me a message from a channel she likes who writes on YouTube, and spun me up.  At first, I was just ‘spun up’, reacting to her energy, and to her ‘need’ to email this information to me.  I struggled not to judge her, or the material itself as annoying, useless, etc. realizing this was a sign that it was my ego that was in control.

Why Meditate?

Why Meditate?  Why take all of the necessary time and effort to develop the habit?  Why, once you do develop it, do you never ever want to stop?  Because the rewards are so fulfilling, so satisfying, so remarkable.  It is one key to changing your life,  to accepting it as perfect, just the way it is. To being able to love, bless and forgive yourself and others for anything that has caused you harm, or for any harm you may have inadvertently caused another.  It can return you to health, on all levels, physically, emotionally, mentally and introduce you to your Spiritual or Higher Self.  It is the door to the Universe, which is the Unlimited Resource for All Problems.  The Universe has the answers you seek, and you can access them through meditation, with practice, persistence and patience.  Sorry, but like everything else here on this planet, it must be earned.

So what IS meditation?   Meditation describes a state of concentrated attention on some object of thought or awareness. It usually involves turning the attention inward to a single point of reference. The benefits of the practice can engender a higher state of consciousness. Meditation is recognized as a component of eastern religions, where it has been practiced for over 5,000 years.
