The most limiting phrase I've encountered is, "We've always done it this way." I've learned from experience that when I hear this phrase come out of someone's mouth they have shut themselves off from the natural, peaceful evolution of their work and their place in the world.

Free Will is a wondrous thing. It allows us to choose how fast or far we will go. It can also, however, keep us mired in outdated and ineffective ways of Being.

We are so very fortunate to be in this space and time. We have a wealth of information at our fingertips and the ability to access incredible methods and energies to assist our evolution.

But if we cling to doing things the way we've always done them because of fear or some misguided sense of honour we will find ourselves sorely limited in what we can accomplish.

But take heart. If we open ourselves up to more refined and practical ways of Being we will soar as we are meant to.

If you ever find yourself saying, "We've always done it this way", please pay attention. Then question if that way is bringing you a sense of Peace and the results you desire. If it isn't...... perhaps there's another way.

Our bodies are perfectly designed to communicate with us and let us know where we may need to focus our attention. Therefore, paying attention to what's going on in our physical body will often allow us to know where we are on all  levels of our Being.

As we experience an emotion its frequency may  either help Heal or harm our body.

Positive emotions raise the Being to a Higher frequency/vibration and allow for the body’s systems to operate smoothly and be in alignment with a perfectly functioning physical system.

Negative emotions degrade the body’s systems and allow for dis-ease to take root. Our bodies may actually become weaker or stronger depending on our mental state.

Feelings of shame, apathy, grief, fear, anxiety, craving, anger and hate resonate at the lowest vibratory rate.

Feelings of Love, trust, optimism, acceptance, understanding, joy and reverence resonate at the highest vibratory rate.

Injuries or pain often appear on one side of our body. One-sided pain issues may reflect the side that feels confused or unsupported:

1. The left side of our physical body responds to stimulus from the environment. It holds the experiences, emotions and memories from the past of the present lifetime as well as from Past Lives.
2. The right side of our physical body governs how we interact with the world around us. If there are issues regarding unwanted changes in the environment they will often show up here.
3. The front of our physical body reveals the social or public self. It reveals information regarding our openness, acceptance, and overall way of Being. This shows in our face, posture and body language.
4. The back of our physical body reflects our private and unconscious way of Being. It’s the storehouse for all the things we don't want to reveal. Negative emotions may easily become stored along the spine and the backs of the legs.
   

If we pay attention we can learn much about what our body is trying to reveal.

What you hear from Psychics may aid you with your past, present and future. I've received many messages over the years that have helped with whatever I was experiencing during that time and have given me hope regarding my potential future.

For several years now any Psychic I visited would assure me that I would not experience dementia in my later years. It was curious to me that I would receive this message so often when it was something I never asked about. In this space and time, however, I know why this message was so important for me to hear from many sources.

Lately I have been spending time in a lovely facility that cares for those with various forms of dementia. I have met many wonderful Souls and I'm learning much about the Human condition and myself.

When I first started spending time there I wondered if I would be able to handle being around the kind of distress that can come from a damaged mind. I was concerned that being there could bring about a fear response regarding aging.

I went to sleep one evening wondering why I wasn't worried about dementia being part of my future. I awoke the next morning hearing the various voices of Psychics who had assured me that my mind would be sharp up until my last day in this incarnation. I realized that the messages I received allowed me to do what needed to be done from a place of Love rather than fear.

I am grateful that the messages I received allow me to walk through this experience without being burdened by my own fears. And I urge you to remember what you hear from Psychics. Doing so may aid you greatly when dealing with your own past, present and future.

It is a Universal Law that energy follows intent. Knowing, accepting and employing this principle will aid you greatly throughout your journeys in both the realm of form and the Higher Realms.

If you don't like where you are now focus on where you would like to be. Feel what it will be like to be there. Take whatever steps you need to prepare for the journey and, in Good Time, you will be there.

You may be thinking that this sounds too simple.

But that's how it works. Universal laws are simple and work for everyone. And when you learn those Laws and utilize them you will have an unfailing guidance system to aid you throughout this journey of Life.

Just remember that energy follows intent.

When encountering a situation or concept I find challenging I often use the tool of reframing. When I reframe something I endeavour to see, feel or hear it in a way makes it more palatable.

This past Halloween I stumbled upon  a wonderful new way of reframing an old issue. The issue was the sounds in my neck. Since an injury several years ago my neck made annoying sounds each time I moved my head. I had tried everything to experience these sounds in a different way but the best I could come up with was the sounds were a reminder of what I was capable of surviving.

As part of a treat bag I had purchased my nephew Jack some pop rocks, candies that crackled and popped when placed in the mouth. Jack took great delight in filling his mouth with the candies, then placing his mouth very close to my ear so I could hear the sounds. There were  many giggles as this was going on.

After Jack left I was remarking to my husband, Andrew, that the sound of the pop rocks was very close to the sounds of my neck and it was peculiar that I could take such pleasure from hearing those sounds from Jack when normally they irritated me.

The next morning while doing Qigong I heard the sounds again but this time I smiled because it reminded me of Jack and the pop rocks. Now, every time I hear those sounds I smile because they bring back a pleasant memory.

I am most grateful for this unexpected reframing of a long-standing issue.

In these challenging times it is more important than ever that you find your Centre, that place where you will engage with the wisdom and will to walk through whatever you are experiencing with relative Ease and Grace.

You may access your Centre in many ways. Some individuals do so via prayer, meditation and various spiritual practices. Others do it through work they love, service to others, music, or hobbies that take them from their ordinary existence to higher realms of thinking and being.

At your Centre you will find peace, wisdom and strength. You will be able to connect with the highest parts of yourself and be in alignment with the highest of energies, both physical and spiritual. Then you will bring that peace, wisdom, strength and energy back into whatever challenging environment you may find yourself in.

I urge you, however you may do so, to find your Centre. Your world will be a better place when you do.

A few years ago the idea that I would be channeling Beings of the Higher Realms would have seemed laughable, at best, or terrifying, at worst. Yet here I am, in this space and time, frequently doing so.

Channeling came to me in fits and starts, as much of my spiritual evolution has. It began with a few words from time to time from Beings of the Higher Realms and has evolved into concepts, teachings and messages that I am to embody, then share with others.

In the beginning channeling was a more private thing. I shared what I received with few individuals. Lately, it has become more public. The reason I am more public now is that my desire to share positive messages in these sometimes chaotic times has outweighed my desire for privacy.

Over the past few months a number of clients have asked me how they can begin channeling. I tell them, first, take care of what you are experiencing in the realm of form. Be responsible for your circumstances in the physical before you attempt to be a conduit for the spiritual. Channeling is not an escape from your life circumstances. The ability to Channel is often a byproduct of working through the most challenging of Life circumstances.

I'm not saying that you have to be a perfect human being to Channel the Higher Realms. Spend five minutes with me and you'll see that I can be kindness embodied or  a complete jerk ;-). What I am saying is that as you willingly work through your own challenges you attain the wisdom and the higher vibration that aligns you with the Beings of the Higher Realms.

It is my fondest wish that as many individuals as possible have a connection to the World of Spirit so they may receive guidance and feel connected to the highest parts of themselves and the Higher Realms, but I don't teach people how to channel. Instead, I offer teachings and sessions that help to bring individuals to their highest level of Being. Because when an individual is operating at their highest level of Being the byproduct is that they often begin channeling the Beings of the Higher Realms.

I have a very important question to ask you. That question is, "What would you rather be.... happy or fulfilled?" How you answer that question will give you insight as to where you are on your own evolutionary scale.

We are bombarded with ideas and practices regarding how to be happy. The pursuit of happiness has become a primary goal for some of us. We want to have a feeling of bliss permeating all levels of our existence.

We engage in new spiritual practices, buy the latest products, listen to the latest gurus and plan grand adventures. All in the pursuit of happiness. We believe if we are happy all else will fall into place. And if we cannot sustain that feeling of happiness we feel as though we've failed in some way.

Now, let me be clear, I am not knocking happiness. I've had incredibly happy experiences in my lifetime that have brought me much joy and contributed to the person I am in this space and time.

What I'm proposing is that perhaps instead of seeking to be happy we might try seeking to be fulfilled.

Happiness, as lovely as it is, can be fleeting.

Fulfillment will sustain you through any life circumstance you may find yourself in. Fulfillment will get you out of the bed in the morning to face whatever challenge awaits you that day. Fulfillment will allow you to go to sleep at night knowing you've done the best you could that day. Fulfillment will carry you through those times you thought would break you.

So, I'll ask the question again. What would you rather be... happy or fulfilled?"

To truly achieve all you came here to accomplish in this space and time it's important that you learn to bloom where you're planted. It's not always practical or possible to uproot yourself from some situations so it's important that , even while the situation is less than ideal, you still evolve emotionally and spiritually.

How do you do this you may ask? I can offer a few ideas from my own experiences of learning to bloom where I've been planted.

The most important thing you can do is to take responsibility for where you are in your life. That doesn't mean blaming yourself. It simply means that the culmination of your decisions and choices have led you to where you are today. So, there is a reason you're here.

Focus on what is good about where you are. I'm not saying for you to be falsely optimistic about the situation you are in. But the more you can dig deep for some sort of gratitude in any given situation the better you will connect vibrationally with higher energies and better situations.

Change your perspective. If, at this moment, it's impossible to move from where you are, then look at the situation from a different perspective. You may be surprised at how things will change.

Nurture yourself while you are in this place. Don't wait for others to nourish you. Find out what makes you feel alive and do it often. But, most importantly, be kind to yourself. If you've been planted in circumstances where others cannot or will not aid in your healthy growth you must provide yourself with all that you need.

And, when you think of it, who knows better than you what you need to bloom where you're planted?

Jim Morrison said, "A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself."

Today friendship is on my mind because one of the dearest friends I have had in this lifetime is moving away. I will miss her presence greatly but console myself with the belief that, although she will be far away geographically, she will never be truly further away than a thought, message or call.

We have shared much over the past few years, some of it during epic Brunch dates filled with laughter and, at times, heavier emotions.

But through it all, I have always felt perfectly free to be myself with this Beautiful Soul. My secrets have always been safe with her and she has supported me in every endeavour ... even when I was unsure of what the outcome would be.

She has been a true Friend. And my life has been much the better for it ♥♥♥
