I don't expect others to have the same belief system as mine but I am becoming increasingly concerned by how many versions of the truth are being offered in an attempt to sway public opinion and keep power in the hands of the few.

With 24/7 cable news programs offering provocative view points it can be challenging to discern what is true and what is false. We are being inundated with 'experts' who are seeking to sell themselves and their ideas in a manner that can be laughable and, sometimes, dangerous.

Too many unbalanced individuals are using the rhetoric they are exposed to as an excuse to commit heinous acts.

Too often we are offered biased information in an attempt to manipulate and influence what we will support.

So, how do we discern if something is the truth? We do so by knowing what we accept as our truth. Deep within each of us is a value system that allows us to recognize a 'truth'. We resonate in some way to what is truthful for us. And if we keep ourselves balanced and focused on the greatest good we will not be led astray.

In these challenging times it is important to understand our truth and to live it to the best of our ability. When we do this what is not true will fall away and become harmless.

We are at a crossroads in this space and time. What we do over these next few days, weeks and months will determine whether we will evolve or devolve. There is much at stake for Humanity and our earthly home. And it is time for each of us to ask ourselves and those around us the question, "Will you choose Love or fear?"

We've seen what can happen when those in authority choose to spread fear so they can hold onto power. We all lose in that scenario.

And even in the most challenging of times we've been witness to the miracles that occur when individuals and groups choose to spread a message of Love and unity.

Everything we do now matters. Every choice holds great weight. So, I'm asking myself and you, "Will you choose Love or fear?"

In Canada, this is Thanksgiving weekend. And while I acknowledge that we are living in challenging times there is much for me to be thankful for.

I woke up this morning with a greater awareness and a renewed determination that I would do everything in my power to do no further harm to myself, those I love, Humankind and Nature.

The events of the past several days have afforded me the opportunity to examine myself and the world around me. And I understand that if I don't like how things are, then I have a responsibility to do what I can to effect positive change.. while harming none.

Have I given myself an impossible challenge? Only time will tell.

But in the meantime I am grateful for this new awareness and I give thanks for the events that brought me here.

Before a Higher Realm Healing® session I ask the client an important question. That question is, "Will you accept the Knowledge and Healing that will come from today's session?"

Why do I ask this question? Because when the client answers in the affirmative their Soul, cells and DNA get excited and prepare to allow Healing and Understanding to unfold.

The client also becomes a full participant in the Healing process. Their saying "Yes" pushes doubts, outmoded beliefs and feelings of unworthiness away.

It gives permission for the Higher Realm Healing® energies to do what needs doing.

It creates a Sacred Space where miracles may occur.

Isn't it amazing what answering 'yes'  to that question will do?

If you are a sensitive and giving individual you have probably come across psychic vampires. You may even have a few energetic  scars from the encounters.

Psychic Vampires, or those who drain the energy of others, can be found anywhere and everywhere. And if you're empathic they will be drawn to you like a moth to a flame.

It took me many years to develop effective ways of dealing with these individuals. And I've found that I must remain vigilant. Countless times I've given a psychic vampire the benefit of the doubt and then paid dearly for it.

If you are dealing with a psychic vampire it's vital that you understand that they are unlikely to change their behavior. Draining others is how they get their energy and I guarantee you that their wants and needs will come before yours.

The best way of dealing with a psychic vampire is avoidance. If that is impossible then you have to strengthen your energetic boundaries. This can be a challenge if you are used to putting the needs of others before your own.

I have recently found two resources that I've had great success with. One is a wonderful book by Christiane Northrup called Dodging Energy Vampires. The other is a hypnotherapy recording by Anna Thompson called Power Shielding.

I wish you much success in dealing with your psychic vampires.

Of late, I've been asking myself a simple question before I fully commit to a thought, word or deed. That question is, "Will this serve me well?"

Posing this query before any action has been giving me the opportunity to question my own motives and consider the full repercussions of whatever action I decide upon.

That doesn't mean I won't need to make course corrections from time to time. And it doesn't mean I won't occasionally stumble.

It simply means I am offering myself the breathing room to consider what is best for me and those I am connected to.

If you find you're unsure of how to proceed with any course of action you might try asking yourself... "Will this serve me well?", then rest assured that you inner guidance system will provide you with the answer.

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.
