note:</span></b><span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> I found Denell through
her Etsy shop two years ago. I
recommended her readings to friends and one friend invited her to teach a local
workshop. We met then and hit it off
right away. We often confide in each
other because we both actively practice our spiritual gifts and we often exchange
readings with each other. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Denell’s gifts are amazing.
In her angel course she said she could see fairies in the plant in the
room. I thought that was amazing! Since then I have been able to connect to
fairies as well but for a while I thought I was going nowhere although she
assured me I was connecting. In the end,
it’s great that I can tell her anything and she won’t think I am crazy and vice
versa. In fact, we both think life is quite magical and fun!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Describe your business. How did you get
started? <o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;">I am an Angel Intuitive
offering a range of intuitive services from Oracle Card Readings to Reiki
Energy Healing as well as Past Life and Angel Healing Services. I have been an
Angel Intuitive since I was a baby though I didn’t actually realize this is what
it was until 2011. My strongest ability is channeling and I have been doing this
since I was old enough to write. At the end of 2011 after meeting several soul
family members I opened my Etsy shop and things really took off. As my quest
for more and more knowledge continues I take classes and read constantly to
update myself on the newest practices and how to incorporate new services into
my business. I have been so blessed in
finding great friends who not only support me in this but also allow me to teach
and even more importantly, be taught by others every single day. My soul
reverberates with joy with each new client and each healing I provide to
others. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">SG: When
was the first time you realized you were different spiritually?<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;">I always knew I was different
from others, I remember seeing and speaking to spirits and angels as a very
young child. However, I kept it quiet because I was raised in a very strict
family and it was not something you ever spoke of. As I hit my teen years the
spirits faded away but even in elementary school I remember the timed journal
writing and I loved this part of school while everyone else seemed to dread it.
I would have five pages written by the end and I would look around and everyone
else had a sentence or two. I never felt
like I quite fit in anywhere, especially with people – I realize now I was
always searching for that soul connection with others and I did not find that
until 2010 when I met my best friend and a few other soul family members. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;">SG:
When was the first time you decided to find out what your gifts were and how to
use them?<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;">In 2011 my best friend and I
were both practicing Astral Travel and Dreamwalking: the most memorable first
experience was when my best friend called me up and asked if I was okay, I was
confused because nothing un-ordinary had happened that day. She explained that
she had seen me in her room even though at the time we lived 3,000 miles away
from each other; she on the east coast and I on the west. She said it was like
I was really there, talking to her though she could tell I was in Spirit form.
This was the first time I had successfully astral traveled and I had not even
realized I was doing it. Earlier that day I had been daydreaming about exactly
what happened in her room. Later, my angels confirmed that I am a natural
astral traveler and I visit the spirit world and loved ones almost every night
and even during the day while I am doing mundane things. I was amazed and continued to practice this
amazing skill until I could do it at will. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;">To embrace all that you are and
all that you will become, you are unique, blessed and loved so much. Seek out
those who embrace your uniqueness, that you feel connected to and never let
anyone make you think negatively about yourself. You are special and your gifts
are needed on the planet at this time. You are a healer, heal yourself and you
heal the world.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Embrace and develop your
intuition, it will be your greatest asset! Keep reading, find spiritual friends
who will support you – they will become your family – never stop learning!
Connect daily with your guides and angels for they have important information
for you. Meditation and Yoga will help you balance your life and most of all
never forget that you are the most important person in your life, take care of
yourself so you can help others!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

What part of your gift is your favorite and why? What is your least favorite and why?<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;">My favorite gift is Oracle
Reading, I love the cards and the positive messages they bring. Their vibration
is so high and full of light and love. The best part of this gift is helping
others, especially, when they feel like all hope is lost and it’s the end of
their world. The cards and messages give them renewed hope, strength and faith
that they are not alone, that the Universe is one of pure love. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;">My least favorite gift is working
with Spirits because they do not follow the same rules as Angels and Guides,
they still have ego and free will, they may or may not tell the truth about
things. This part of my gifts scare me in a certain way because I have seen my
own past lives where I was persecuted for my gifts when working with the spirit
world but also in that Spirits harmed me physically in previous incarnations
and even possessed me. In this incarnation I am very well protected and they
are unable to enter me but working with them alone is very scary for me and
something I have not completely overcome. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">

<b><span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;">SG:
What is the funniest thing that happened to you regarding your gifts? <o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;">While spending time with my
best friend we discovered that our Spirit Guides are soul family and were married
thru several incarnations. Her guide is Marcus, a WWII hero who died in action
and I have Rebecca. While sitting near the fire talking late one night we were
laughing as Marcus entertained us with his pranks and antics around the house
as everyone else slept. He looked nervous as he continued to make us laugh and
a short while later we found out why, he was hiding from Rebecca. She never did
tell me what he did but she came through a wall like a ton of bricks headed
straight for him and he jumped up to the ceiling – I thought I was watching a
cartoon! He disappeared through the ceiling and all was quiet for a minute and
then he peeked his head through the wall near us making us both jump out of our
seats. We both swatted at him like we could actually touch him and he grinned
until Rebecca came storming through the living room. We watched them play hide
and seek through the walls for a good 15 minutes and we could not stop
laughing. It was hilarious!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<b><span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;">SG:
Why do you think the Creator gave us these gifts? And what are we supposed to use them for?<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;">I believe that before we
reincarnate we decide if we wish to use intuitive abilities in our life and if
it will serve our highest purpose and that of the planet at the designated
time. I believe in this incarnation I am using my gifts to help others who are
in desperate search of the light in the world today. Negativity crawls up every
crack in our society so is it any wonder many of us have a hard time in
clearing and cleansing ourselves of this? We are supposed to use our gifts to
help others, the planet, Mother Earth and to help those who are newer souls
heal wounds. New souls are often the ones we have a hard time getting along
with, they are most often criminals or dangerous addicts. They need our love and
healing just as much as other lightworkers do. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<b><span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;">SG:
Why are we here?<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;">We are here at this time to
keep advancing our souls. As an ancient soul I have seen some of my very first
incarnations which occurred at the beginning of the timeline when people lived
in caves and the earth was very dry and survival depended on your every action
and move. I can see just how far I have advanced personally and in the past
lives I have seen it is amazing what we can accomplish. The soul is a beautiful
thing but not something that ends, the physical body withers away but the soul
ascends and heals until it is ready to experience the beauty of life once
again. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">

<b><span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;">SG:
What do you wish that people knew or understood the most about you?<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;">It is a constant struggle I
endure as the only one who is spiritually minded in my family and extended
family. As they are all catholic and they buy into the fear induced
proclamations of the church and the world I wish they could or would try to
understand my point of view more. Fear is a powerful emotion and I wish to
eradicate that from those that I love but they see me as the black sheep with
unorthodox opinions and views which couldn’t possibly be correct. Fear is an
illusion our ego subjects us to in order to control us. However, I have to
remember they are on their path for a reason and I am on mine and betwixt the
two shall meet at some point, either here on this planet or in the Spirit
Realm. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;">I wish the world would know and
understand that Love is the only real entity in life. If we would all spend as
much time loving each other, assisting our neighbors and sending love to anyone
and everyone the world would be much more at peace. Each soul must live
according to their truth and there is no wrong truth. By living and breathing
in your own truth you allow your true nature to come forward and who you truly
are is what this world needs. Live your life for you in a way that brings joy
to you and let others do the same. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

What do you envision the world will be like in the future?<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;">At times, when I see the way the
government is run, I see in the future many spiritualists refuse to live in a
world with so little freedoms and expression. The more technology advances, the less humanized we become. I often see secluded villages of spiritualists
who live in harmony and peace with each other. Who help each other survive and
exchange energy and barter for necessities. They live in unity as one with
Mother Nature bringing back the old traditions of celebrating moon phases,
harvests, seasons, etc…When this happens I see them living far out in mother
nature … almost like a native American tribe or as the villages in Greece were
set up thousands of years ago. I can feel the beauty and peace of such places. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

She started her wellness career almost a decade ago as a

honored to be involved in their transformations. Yet she knew something more
was needed. Changing the outside was one thing, but she knew many of her
clients really needed help with more internal changes like dealing with
emotional eating, or negative self-talk – areas I knew of from personal
experience.<o:p></o:p></div>

<b>SG: When was the first time you realized you were different spiritually?<br />
</b>MH: Probably when I was around 6 or 7. I wanted to see/hear ghosts. Any
book about ghosts or spirits I was interested in. I remember a Spirit speaking
to me in school one day. Her name was Lisa. I thought I was going nuts because
no one else was in the bathroom with me. I freaked out and ran out of the
bathroom. I was always fascinated by telepathy and telekinesis. I used to do
‘yoga’ in my room – sit lotus style and say ‘ohm’ LOL. As I got older I found I
could ‘tell’ when a song was on the radio that I really wanted to hear. I
didn’t know what it was…just something I did. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
MH: In high school. I realized that
I was able to predict or ‘see’ things that others didn’t see. I was very
perceptive. A friend and I would practice strengthening that skill with playing
cards. We would try to guess which card the other had. I would also play around
with predicting songs on the radio. I got to the point where I knew when a
particular song was on. That was pretty cool. I also played with a Ouija board.
That was an interesting and powerful experience. My friends and I unknowingly
contacted a dark entity that actually attached itself to one of my friends for
years. We didn’t realize our energies could release something. I would not
recommend using a Ouija board – not without proper training by a high level
medium. <o:p></o:p></div>

MH: You’re not crazy. Yes, this
stuff is real. Practice it. Work on it. Accept it. You will meet others like
you as you get older. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<b>SG: What advice would you give to someone who just realized their
spiritual gifts?<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
MH: Same as above. Also, read about
opening up your gifts, and meet up with others who are doing the same. The
gifts become stronger when we’re around similar people.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<b>SG: What part of your gift is your favorite and why? What is your least favorite and why?<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
My psychic/intuitive ability is my
favorite. It’s also the easiest. I really enjoy being able to help others and
give them confirmation on situations/decisions to make in their lives. I love
knowing I can help them by giving them insight. Mediumship is my least favorite.
It’s come in more over the past year, and it’s frightening to me because it’s
new. I plan on studying it and developing it more though so the messages come
through clearer. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<b>SG: What is the funniest thing that happened to you re: your gifts? <o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
When I as 14, my friend and I (the
one who was practicing with me) worked at a summer job. We both liked the same
boy and would use our abilities to see where he would be. One day we were
waiting for the elevator. We felt like he was on one of the elevators and
indeed he was. He got off and we were both looking shocked (that we were right)
and embarrassed (because we had a huge crush on him lol). I think our faces
were red!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<b>SG: Why do you think the Creator gave us these gifts? And what are we supposed to use them for?<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
To help others. To serve others. To
heal others.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<b>SG: Why are we here?<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
To assist those on earth in their
own personal growth. To give warnings when necessary. To provide insight and
wisdom. To heal. To teach. To show. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<b>SG: What do you wish that people knew/understood the most about you?<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
That I’m not making this stuff up!
LOL These gifts are REAL. And I’m not the only one who has them.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<b>SG: What do you wish the world would know/understand?<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
That we ALL have gifts. It’s just a
matter of being open to the possibilities. Yes, it’s easier for some than for
others. But everyone has a gift of some sort. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<b>SG: What do you envision the world will be like in the future?<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
I’m torn between what I hope it
will be like, and what I’ve seen. And it’s probably a combination of both. In
the future there will be a time when everyone is more conscious, more aware.
More people will be able to access their gifts. We will truly work together to
heal and grow. But before that……well…..it’s like giving birth. Right now we’re
gestating, but the birthing point will come, and it will feel uncomfortable. On
the other side of that will be a beautiful life. I just try and stay focused on
the end result.<o:p></o:p></div>

Joy is a Spiritual Life Coach. Shamanic Practitioner, Author
and Tarot Reader. I met Joy in March
2014 when I signed up for her Tarot class.
While taking that class she helped me realize that I, too, had a mediumship
gift. Since then, she’s been my favorite
metaphysical teacher and she has trained me to be a Reiki Master, a shamanic
practitioner and she has helped me hone my mediumship skills. Her teaching style is unstructured and always guided by Spirit. She’s incredibly
funny and warm and I am proud to call her my friend. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<b>SG: When was the first time you realized you were different?<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
JA: I always knew I was different. I always felt different and out of
place. I would see myself observing this
world like I was not actually part of this world. (Note from SG: a lot of lightworkers and people with
psychic and medium gifts feel out of place here on Earth. However, she is aware of her soul projecting
a piece of herself onto three dimensional Earth). I
feel like a character out of the movie Avatar, where I look through the eyes of
someone else. I knew that I wasn’t from
here. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
In order to be present, I have to
focus on being in my body. I have always
been aware of the unity of life. I can connect with other living beings, plants
and animals. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<b>SG: When was the first time you decided to find out what your gifts
were and how to use them?<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
JA: Because my dad was a preacher, I
thought I would grow up to marry a preacher and that would be my purpose in
life. When I grew older, I felt like
there should be more to life than marrying a preacher. I eventually switched to a church that
believed in prophecy and befriended a prophet.
I knew that I could hear Spirit but I didn’t believe in myself. The prophet helped me believe in myself. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<b>SG: If you could give advice to your younger self about your gifts,
what would you say?<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
JA: Believe in yourself and believe
in the messages. Don’t be afraid to give
messages to people who have more power than you do. I always felt intimidated, even though I
challenged authority a lot. I went to a
year of Mennonite school and my beliefs were very different. I always challenged their beliefs. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<b>SG: What advice would you give to someone who just realized their
spiritual gifts?<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
JA: Be patient with yourself. Any skill requires time and practice. You don’t become a master in a day or a
week. It’s a lifelong practice. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<b>SG: What part of your gift is your favorite and why? What is your least favorite and why?<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
JA: I don’t have a favorite. I love to do it all. I love teaching and allowing Spirit to talk
through me. I love when Spirit is in
control. My least favorite part would be
not being able to connect with a client because they literally have a wall up. I used to blame myself but realized it wasn’t
my fault. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<b>SG: What is the funniest thing that happened to you regarding your
gifts? <o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
JA: Recently I saw a stinkbug on my
ceiling. I was annoyed with its buzzing
noise and spoke to it telepathically to come down and land on my hand and I
will take it outside. Immediately, the
stinkbug flew down and hit me on the face.
I picked it up and put it outside.
I was surprised at how immediate the stinkbug responded to my request! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<b>SG: Why do you think the Creator gave us these gifts? And what are we supposed to use them for?<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
JA: We are here to increase the
vibrational frequency of the Earth and help the Earth ascend into a higher
plane. When you walk into a dark room,
only one light is needed to light up a room. Imagine
if many lights were turned on at once. We are here to increase the light for
all living beings on Earth.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<b>SG: Why are we here?<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
JA: We are here to evolve our
souls. We chose to incarnate on Earth
and it is the school we chose to attend.
We are hopefully evolving to a more loving, knowledgeable person that
understands him or herself better. Sometimes
a soul will incarnate just to do one thing for another and that’s it, the rest
of their life is pretty mundane. Every
person is essential to what happens here. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<b>SG: What do you wish that people knew and understood the most about
you?<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
JA: People think psychics can see
dead people all the time or they know everything about a person. I don’t
pick up on anything and I don’t know anything.
I only know what Spirit tells me.
Just because I can communicate with Spirit doesn’t mean I automatically
know everything about you. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<b>SG: What do you wish the world would know and understand?<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
JA: What you give out comes
back. Every thought has an effect and
will come back to you. We would be more
kind and tolerant if we understood that.
I wish the politicians would understand that. War doesn’t bring peace. Peace brings peace. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<b>SG: What do you envision the world will be like in the future?<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
JA: It’s up to us. It can go either way. We’re on a balancing scale and the collective
consciousness of humans will tip the balancing scale. When Jesus rode a donkey through the crowd,
they cheered him and threw palms at his feet.
The next day the same people killed him.
One day they love you and the next day they hate you. There’s no guarantee that it’s going to get
better. For example, in the presidential
race it’s not a guarantee that the best candidate will win. It’s important that lightworkers send their
light to the best candidate and to every event before it happens without a predetermined
selection. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="line-height: 200%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="line-height: 200%;">Spirit asked her
to send love and light to the Pope selection council so they would pick the
best candidate.</span><span style="line-height: 200%;"> </span><span style="line-height: 200%;">Now Pope Francis is
affecting the world in a wonderful way.</span><span style="line-height: 200%;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
We should always do what Spirit
tells us to do. Some people are not
going to understand Spirit’s messages because it is not their purpose. I was a reluctant medium myself; at first I just wanted
to pass on messages from the angels. <o:p></o:p></div>

<br />
The other day I checked my blog out and my last posting was about putting our 6 month old kitten Grace to sleep. Then silence. Life went on after that but in the past eight months I have been having more of an inner journey rather than an outer journey. I have thought a lot about posting, and have some cool interesting topics to talk about, but never got around to actually publishing them. <br />
<br />
The good news is that we adopted a new cat. His name is Timothy and just turned five years last July. He's a great cat and I love having him around. My daughters absolutely adore him. And I made sure he was absolutely healthy! <br />

I have been tossing around an idea for this blog. I have always been interested in hearing about other people's stories. Since this blog is focused on psychic and intuitive abilities, I've decided to start interviewing the psychics, mediums and intuitives I know about their experience and sharing it with you. I want people to know that these "gifts" are not uncommon, but part of being human. These gifted people are not unusual or so different from others, the difference is they are aware of their gifts, have chosen to incorporate them in their lives and have chosen to help others with it. <br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So stayed tuned. I am already setting up interviews and should have a lot of interesting posts coming your way!<br />

On January 1st, the unthinkable happened. We had to put our 6 month old kitten Grace to sleep.<br />
<br />
Yes, you heard me right. <br />
<br />
The day started out well. It was my husband's birthday so we planned to go out to breakfast and see a movie with our daughters. When we returned home, I saw Grace sitting in the kitchen. As we walked around her, she didn't move and I thought that was odd. I got down on my knees and spoke to her. Usually if I talked to her she would give me some meows and move toward me to be petted. She didn't move. Then I noticed her breathing hard. I could see her tummy move in and out with lot's effort.<br />
<br />
Then I started to panic.<br />
<br />
Something in me knew this was really bad. Since it was a holiday, her vet was closed so I called the local ER vet. They said to bring her in right away. When we arrived, they took her to the back to be examined and my eight year old daughter and I waited for the vet. When the vet came to us, her face demonstrated she had bad news. She said that Grace had FIP or <a href="http://www.vet.cornell.edu/FHC/health_resources/brochure_ftp.cfm" target="_blank">Feline Infetious Peritonis</a>. Most strains of the virus do not cause disease, but 5-10% of the cats with the virus develop a severe inflammatory response. Once this happens it is almost always fatal. Our poor kitten had this severe reaction and had fluid in her lungs so she was struggling to breathe.<br />
<br />
So I knew what we needed to do. <br />
<br />
We adopted Grace two months ago at a local shelter and both my older daughter and I already loved her very much. Now we had to say goodbye. Needless to say we cried and cried, couldn't believe that we had to leave Grace there and she would never come home with us. We said our goodbyes and when we left the hospital I started crying again. <br />

<br />
I never <b>ever</b> thought my kitten would die. I planned to be her human mommy till she was an old cat. But that wasn't to be and I felt cheated.<br />
<br />
I was pissed. <br />
<br />
I wanted her back. <br />
<br />
And I was pissed at Spirit and at myself. You see, I believe we come to this planet knowing what we want to experience. So, in essence, even though I don't remember it now, I agreed to it. And I couldn't understand why I would even agree to something so horrible. I felt like this was a punishment, for what I do not know. <br />
<br />
The following day I walked around like I was going to burst into tears at any moment. By evening, I decided to to take a walk outside. During my walk I saw two cats. I was amazed since I never see cats on my walk, usually a few dogs are being walked by their owners or I see some birds or a stray squirrel. I took it as a sign that Grace was telling me she was all right. However, my anger and depression took its toll and morphed into a massive migraine by that evening.<br />
<br />
After two hours, my migraine started to ease. As I lay in bed in the dark, I saw Grace. I asked myself, is this a memory or really Grace's spirit? Not caring, I asked to speak to Grace. And she came forward. She spoke in a grown up female voice, which surprised me. I always viewed her as a baby. She told me, "I know that you wanted me to grow old with you but I couldn't. I was too sick and could no longer stay." I knew this to be true. I just needed to accept it. <br />
<br />
A few days later, I learned more about why I chose to experience the loss of Grace. Currently I am studying shamanism. During my last class, my classmates, teacher and I practiced doing shamanic journeys with each other. A shamanic journey is a meditative visit to one of the three spirit worlds: lower, middle, upper. This is always done with an intention, such as for healing or advice. I was lucky to have my teacher do a shamanic journey for me. She described an upper dimension world full of glass houses. She said in this place, all beings were made of light and energy (they look like columns of light to me, see #3 from <a href="http://spreadthehealinglight.blogspot.com/2014/03/many-lives-many-masters-nyc-conference.html" target="_blank">this blog post</a> for a description of what I saw). They have no physical bodies. <br />
<br />
This is where I am from. This is my real home. <br />
<br />
In this world, you can't hide anything. Communication is done by telepathy. And there is no such thing as touch. So this is one of the reasons why I like to come to earth, to experience touch. This makes sense to me because I am a very touchy-feely person. I love to hug and when I practice Reiki, I prefer hands on Reiki versus distance healing. <br />
<br />
There is no loss in this upper-dimension world, we know and understand that life is forever. So this is one of the things I choose to experience here, loss, and loss of my sweet little kitten. <br />
<br />
With every event that happens to me, whether positive or negative, it's always a learning experience. Although I miss my kitten tremendously, I understand that she was no longer able to be in the physical world. She's in a place where she belongs, at home, across the rainbow bridge. <br />

My family drove up to New York for a family funeral. We only stayed one night over at my sister's house. Since my sister and I don't see each other very much, we stayed up till 1:30 am talking. As usual, my sister offered us her bedroom for the night. Although I am not 100% comfortable with this and I suggest we can sleep in the guest bedroom, my sister always insists. <br />
<br />
After calling it a night, I realize I forgot my cell phone charger in the living room. I creep quietly down the stairs knowing my brother in law is sleeping in the living room. In the pitch dark, I hear my brother in law's booming voice in the dark, "I hope you realize I spent all day cleaning the house for you."<br />
<br />
My immediate response was "OK, thanks." Then the tirade started. And here's the miracle. I remained calm. I didn't get upset. I didn't take it personally. Heck, I couldn't blame him. I don't want to give my bed up to anyone. For once I didn't take criticism personally. And I didn't cry! Wow I have come a along way! Even my husband was impressed.<br />
<br />
My sister came downstairs and calmed him down. As I was getting ready to go to bed, I bump into my brother in law in the hallway. I braced myself. He actually apologized and hugged me. I told him I was more than happy to sleep in the guest bedroom. He said he WANTED us to sleep in his room and that he didn't mean what he said.<br />
<br />
So did he say those things because I didn't react negatively to him when he yelled at me downstairs? Perhaps. I do believe that negativity begets more negativity. <br />
<br />
But I do feel thankful to him because he did me a favor by testing me and I passed! And I demonstrated to myself and others around me that even though I am sensitive, I can remain calm and centered in an emotional situation. Not to mention I still giggle about it every time I think of it. <br />

Yes it's true, sounds crazy right? Well let me explain...<br />
<br />
Early this year I was taking a Tarot Class and we ended up discussing dreams. My teacher said most dreams are symbolic. Well I had a dream about Patrick Swayze and couldn't figure out what it symbolized. So she asked me to tell her the dream. This is what happened.<br />
<br />
I was walking alongside Patrick Swayze in Los Angeles. We kept stopping in different places and Patrick look so unhappy everywhere we went. I finally turned to him and said, "The reason why you are unhappy is because this place does not match your values." That was it. <br />
<br />
My teacher paused for a moment before answering and she said that she believed that I actually connected with the soul of Patrick Swayze. Then she asked me if I dreamed of people who have passed. Why yes, I do all the time (I thought everyone did, I realized I was wrong about this). She then told me she thinks I have medium abilities and asked if I wanted to learn from her to strengthen them. I said yes, why not? <br />
<br />
I have to admit, I wasn't really crazy about pursuing this. There is some creepy factor about talking to the dead. I mean, what if they hassle me? What if they woke me up in the night? What if, GOD FORBID, I woke up and they were standing at the end of the bed?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglYcKJS4_xPmZy6tDqoqEmY7fBYs-8cninR8SEtPvfpPCZ6BH84bdqkfDSk9DaipMzYlslXnimC-N5hfq4NRMYzDpVGsE7VZIYtF__LMNq-KwwqIt9s4lczPHFIgv5BdAHraJQgpnH7PA/s1600/ghostbusters.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglYcKJS4_xPmZy6tDqoqEmY7fBYs-8cninR8SEtPvfpPCZ6BH84bdqkfDSk9DaipMzYlslXnimC-N5hfq4NRMYzDpVGsE7VZIYtF__LMNq-KwwqIt9s4lczPHFIgv5BdAHraJQgpnH7PA/s1600/ghostbusters.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Well despite my misgivings, I decided I should at least try it. And I surprised myself. No I shocked myself. We practiced just opening up to whomever would talk to me. That worked! Not only could I see them but I could hear them too. In another session, I did a reading for my teacher. Her grandmother, aunt, spirit guide and mother all came through with accurate details. In fact, my teacher told me the reading was so good she felt like she should pay me! The sessions helped me trust myself and go with my first answer (call it intuition or gut feeling). The other important lesson is, the "knowing", the thoughts and the images that I have always received my whole life meant something. I realized that I had been dismissing them my whole life as "random" and they really meant something.<br />
<br />

<br />
Since my sessions with my teacher, I have worked on other courses to strengthen my abilities, both on line and in person. When I conduct a Reiki session I use my mediumship during the session too. It's not uncommon for a past loved one to come through for my clients. <br />
<br />
So thanks to Patrick Swayze, I am on the path that I am on right now. Thank you Patrick. newyawk2000http://www.blogger.com/profile/11681832589900260243noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8458750144290966653.post-63982419720395610502014-10-09T08:19:00.001-07:002014-10-09T08:19:12.441-07:00Finally Finding My Life Purpose<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Yes I know it's been a while since I posted. Things have been weird lately. I mean, I still see many angel signs (feathers and numbers and even angel wings in the bathroom mirror) but feel like Spirit has been quiet...like they are "busy." I have a good friend who is an Angel Intuitive as well (you can check out her website <a href="http://www.angelzmessages.com/" target="_blank">here</a>) and she's been feeling the same thing. She's even gone as far to say she's losing her psychic abilities which I know is not true. <br />

<br />
But I wanted to spend time talking about finding your life purpose. I have been searching for this my entire life. I always did well in school (despite not excelling at aptitude tests like the SAT or GRE) and I have always wanted to help people, especially people in dire need of help, such as the poor, the hungry or those suffering from war. By the time I was a college student at New York University (NYU), I narrowed my major down to Urban Studies. Being a native New Yorker and in love with the city at the time, I felt it was my duty to help. I looked at government as being the answer or way I would do this. <br />
<br />
After two years at NYU, I transferred to SUNY Binghamton basically because of tuition costs. At the time NYU cost $22,000 a year (seems low compared to my nephew's current tuition of $56,000 a year), so I felt it would be better to transfer there. The catch was there was no Urban Studies major available, so I picked the closest thing: Political Science. <br />
<br />
When I graduated in 1995 I had no idea what kind of job I could get. A friend suggested I go to grad school so I dodged that bullet and got my Masters in Public Administration. After graduating I moved back to NYC and got a job in development. I soon realized I didn't like development and started applying for other jobs. Actually let's be honest, I got fired from that job and I didn't really care. I applied for federal jobs because it paid more. I got offered a job in the city and in Washington DC and I decided to go to DC.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIgIW7nJBD_YiAb1u-DqNMPlc1XuNZuQ6Kupn4-P183Fwqytle7LSTgRmxmrUO7uN_j3Hu6kBls7x4M4tyPYRhUKbAospY04eAUyFdOipdaZyfs-qGJm7DB0Vv9VNPqmnyGJAYM063Ygw/s1600/DC.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIgIW7nJBD_YiAb1u-DqNMPlc1XuNZuQ6Kupn4-P183Fwqytle7LSTgRmxmrUO7uN_j3Hu6kBls7x4M4tyPYRhUKbAospY04eAUyFdOipdaZyfs-qGJm7DB0Vv9VNPqmnyGJAYM063Ygw/s1600/DC.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
To make a long story short, I kept trying to make a difference but it wasn't working. And I kept running into crazy office politics, or I got promised to move to a department I wanted to be in and it never happened or, saving the best for last, at my last job I got appendicitis and almost died. <br />
<br />
Okay I get the picture now.<br />
<br />
All the money and time invested in that career didn't seem to matter. I know now that this was not a path I was supposed to continue. So in frustration, I begged my husband to let me leave that job. I did and I focused on something else, having a family.<br />
<br />
After my oldest daughter was born, I became a Stay At Home Mom. And I was happy. At least I didn't have to deal any difficult people at work. But I still had that nagging feeling, How was I going to "help"?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Last fall, after seven years of being a stay at home mom, I hit a wall. I was burnt out. I hated cooking. I hated doing the laundry. For years I told myself that I was supporting the family but I needed to do something for myself. Something other than being a mom or a wife. So I did two things: became a certified Zumba instructor and got a job teaching art. I loved teaching art and I still do it. <br />
<br />
In the meantime, a friend and I reconnected and we both realized we were on the same spiritual path. She was getting trained in Reiki but I had no interest in it--she is now a Reiki master. But something changed in me by last spring. I wanted to try it and I loved it. <br />
<br />
I finally found how to help others. When I conduct a Reiki session, I help my clients release emotions, discover their past lives, reunite with passed loved ones and even learn who their guardian angels are. When my clients leave they literally look like a different people: relaxed and at peace. That peaceful look on their face is absolutely priceless. <br />
<br />
So I finally figured it out after 41 years! I thought I never would. <br />
<br />
I know that my life purpose does not end with Reiki. I have had two readings with similar messages. The first was "I've just begun" and the second was "this is just a dress rehearsal." Yes that's right, everything UP TO THIS POINT WAS PRACTICE! This is what I have done so far since April 2013 (my moment of awakening): <br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>communicate, see, touch and be touched by Archangels, angels, Ascended Masters, spirit guides and animal guides</li>
<li>see and talk with fairies</li>
<li>conduct accurate Tarot and Oracle readings for myself and others</li>
<li>enter the Akashic library and retrieve the soul book for myself and others</li>
<li>discovered over 50 specific past lives I have lived on earth</li>
<li>trained in Reiki 1 and 2</li>
<li>communicate with passed loved ones and help them heal (both humans and spirits)</li>
<li>learn and use crystals for healing</li>
<li>communicate with crystals and even released a trapped spirit</li>
</ul>
<div>
And this is just the dress rehearsal. Wow! Something big is going to happen and it's delicious to wait and see what's to come. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Are you ready to go on the ride with me?</div>

When I first discovered that I had the gift of mediumship six months ago, I pictured myself helping others with this gift. Perhaps I would connect a person with a loved one who passed and finally offer them a sense of peace. But I have to come to realize that there is an unexpected bonus to mediumship, not only do I help people who are in the physical, but I can help spirits. I am going to share a story with you where I did just that.<br />
<br />
As a Reiki practitioner, I connect to spirit while at the same time channel the Universal Life Force of Reiki to help heal my clients. After several attempts to reserve an appointment, I finally booked a Reiki session with a young mother of two. Before I started the Reiki session, I always sit down with my clients and get a feel for where they are emotionally, physically and spiritually. I also make sure they know that I can receive messages from Spirit during Reiki and that they are comfortable with that. My client was comfortable with this so we proceeded.<br />
<br />
Almost immediately I sensed a male presence, who was her brother who passed away as a result of an overdose. She told me that she had been sensing him for years since his death. She would see shadows or literally he would throw items across a room to get her attention. Her only hope was to speak to him again and now she had the opportunity. <br />
<br />
He told me that his death was accidental. He felt some remorse over this. I kept getting the word twins although they were close in age, they were not twins. After one hour of communication with him, I closed the session. My client had been crying the entire session. She told me she felt better and felt that she had closure. <br />
<br />
That evening as I lay in my bed trying to fall asleep I felt distracted by a presence in my room. This is not new as higher spiritual beings often try to communicate with me when I am falling asleep (sometimes they even wake me up in the middle of the night). Well I was tired and in no mood to communicate so I said whoever it is, go away. But my request didn't work. So then I asked Archangel Michael to take away any spirits or beings because I wanted to sleep. Then it worked!<br />

<br />
<br />
The next day, I went for a walk around my neighborhood and I could not stop thinking about my client's brother. I knew something was up, because it's not like me to think of someone who I never knew and really, has no meaning in my life. I knew that he was with me and I was not sure how to get rid of him.<br />
<br />
Ok, now I am trying not to freak out. <br />
<br />
Because I am new to this I consulted my mentor and a fellow intuitive friend for advice. My mentor said to tell him to go away until I am ready to talk to him during another Reiki session with his sister. My friend told me that I should talk to him, because once he delivers his message he will go away.<br />
<br />
All right. Fine!<br />
<br />
So I sat in meditation and it was like he was literally hovering over me. I asked him what he wanted. I felt an overwhelming sadness. He started telling me how sad he was, how much he missed being physical on earth and how much he missed being with his sister. I tried to console him by telling him he was in spirit world now and that the separation he was feeling was an illusion. He can actually be with his sister whenever he wants to. But this approach didn't work.<br />
<br />
I was racking my brain on why he was having such a hard time. Then I thought twins! I asked him if his sister was his twin soul. He said yes. No wonder! Twin souls or twin flames have a special connection. They are considered each other's half: the feminine aspect and the male aspect of a soul. When they are incarnate together, which is rare, they often act like twins, reading each other's minds etc. <br />
<br />
Now it made sense why he was having such a hard time letting her go. I instinctively felt he needed more healing so I told him this and asked him if he wanted me to help him. As tears ran down his face, he said yes. I immediately asked Archangel Raphael, the Archangel of healing to come and help him. I saw Raphael arrive, put his arm around him and swoop him up into the sky. I knew that Raphael was taking him to a special healing place in the spirit world, a sort of hospital for those souls who were not adapting well in the spirit realm. And I sensed he was gone.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
I immediately contacted his sister to tell her what happened. She seemed concerned that she would no longer be able to sense him or even ask him for protection, as she often did. I told her it would be temporary and when he returned, she would know. She said for the first time since his death, she felt peace and felt like a heaviness of sadness had been lifted off her. I knew that this sadness came from her brother and it was gone now that he was receiving the help he needed.<br />
<br />
If I could only convey to you how amazing I felt after this experience. When I help a soul, whether they are incarnate or not, it makes my soul sing! It confirms to me that I am doing the right thing and finally living my life purpose. newyawk2000http://www.blogger.com/profile/11681832589900260243noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8458750144290966653.post-3305526677316414072014-08-03T15:47:00.001-07:002014-08-03T15:47:02.040-07:00A New Spirit GuideA year ago I had no clue who my spirit guides were. Spirit Guides are souls who assist us in our lives on Earth. They can be a friend or a relative that you never knew. Through meditation, readings from other talented intuitives and help from my intuitive friends, I know several of my guides today. Recently I met a new spirit guide, and I am sharing the story with you because it's a fascinating story of synchronicity. In a previous post, I wrote about the clues that Spirit leaves you and how it's a puzzle that you must put together. Learning about my new spirit guide came to me in just this way, pieces of a puzzle that I finally put together. <br />

<br />
<br />
One evening. I was following a guided meditation and I was supposed to see a significant symbol for me. I saw an ornate bow and arrow. It looked like it was custom made and it was given to me (probably in a past life) as a gift from a king or queen. I didn't know what it meant at the time but I filed away this information in my mind.<br />
<br />
One morning last week, I left my toddler in the kitchen with her breakfast and went up stairs to change. She immediately followed me up the stairs and said she was scared. I asked her of what. She said, I am scared of the basement. I asked, is there someone in the basement? She said, yes. A big boy or little boy? Big boy. she answered. I thought uh oh, not <a href="http://spreadthehealinglight.blogspot.com/2014/03/the-ghost-in-my-basement.html" target="_blank">another spirit!</a> But I didn't have time to deal with it at that moment so I said a quick prayer to Archangel Michael to remove any spirits that were not there for our highest good.<br />
<br />
Later that I day I was doing Reiki on a friend. I always connect to Spirit when I do Reiki and I was focusing on her when she says to me, "I have to tell you something. Someone is here and he keeps saying, tell her I'm here. Tell her I'm here." My mind immediately went to the "big boy" in the basement. She didn't have any other information so I tried to tune in to who this was. It was a male, older maybe in his 50s and he was wearing a crown. The name that I got was Richard. I tried to communicate with him but the veil was thick so I asked Archangel Gabriel to help me figure out who he was. Gabriel told me it was King Richard and he was here to give me a message. The message was about the bow and arrow!<br />
<br />
King Richard told me that I will be "hitting my target more and more and with better accuracy." He didn't say with regard to what, but my intuition says this has to do with my psychic gifts. <br />
<br />
A few days later I looked up King Richard on the web. I knew there must be several in Britain. I looked at pictures and saw one that resembled the spirit I saw. <br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVXKUyphyphenhyphenNBN_GqctuOjngH3fR4AHjMIAeG8DAv3HYj-02ZIGVyJlsN-To8SaLkzemgLshLVYLWRPxh5v6rrowEn8gybuDAo0ZyS8ULDq-cwHA2c0GrTnI46BA7uDPJDLKpeFGkS_vxBc/s1600/richardlionheart.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVXKUyphyphenhyphenNBN_GqctuOjngH3fR4AHjMIAeG8DAv3HYj-02ZIGVyJlsN-To8SaLkzemgLshLVYLWRPxh5v6rrowEn8gybuDAo0ZyS8ULDq-cwHA2c0GrTnI46BA7uDPJDLKpeFGkS_vxBc/s1600/richardlionheart.jpg" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Richard the Lion Heart</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
Then I read this, "killed by a crossbow." Apparently a boy shot the King out of revenge for his parents' death. King Richard actually pardoned the boy and let him go and he died of gangrene as a result of the bow shot.<br />
<br />
Oh. My. God. I sat there and gasped. Then I thought, I hope I wasn't that boy in a past life! <br />
<br />
I still haven't figured out the details about the meaning of the bow and arrow but leave it to Spirit to come up with such an amazing synchronicity!<br />

These are some of the things I have seen that you may not be aware of.<br />
<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>The very first time I saw an Archangel's wings I was blown away. They are huge! The puny wings that artists draw or paint on angels don't even come close! I googled Archangel images and I have yet to see an accurate rendition of how huge their wings are.<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6PJJkAYHGGcEKWquDSh2hVvT3TPiOaFFHxASoi0nPYt_w6fBDOVdx34DIxdyTHQ8Gl0fy0UDBuxtlbveZnlx1jOhKs3zRAuqelhEBX5uS3iRvCgMptz0S5PDz29q1-4xWhuYvNODlxaw/s1600/large+wings.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6PJJkAYHGGcEKWquDSh2hVvT3TPiOaFFHxASoi0nPYt_w6fBDOVdx34DIxdyTHQ8Gl0fy0UDBuxtlbveZnlx1jOhKs3zRAuqelhEBX5uS3iRvCgMptz0S5PDz29q1-4xWhuYvNODlxaw/s1600/large+wings.jpg" height="320" width="320" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Eliminate the bottom two wings and keep the top large ones and now we are getting close to Archangel wings. </td></tr>
</tbody></table>
</li>
<li>Angels' wings come in many colors. Archangel Metraton's wings appeared black to me (note that they may appear different colors to others, but this is the color I see). A healing angel, part of Archangel Raphael's group, can have green wings. Green is the color of healing. </li>
<li>Archangel Michael likes to be present during Reiki. Sometimes he just hangs out. I once was performing Reiki in a guest bedroom and he was sitting on the edge of the bed, legs crossed. I teased him, "Don't you have anything better to do?" He replied, "Are you kidding? I live for this!"</li>
<li>Archangel Gabriel likes to dance. I have seen him dance and of course I have danced with him!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</li>
<li>Archangel Michael likes to knit! Yes I know that sounds strange but one night I asked him for extra protection. I saw him sitting on my front porch knitting! I asked him, what are you doing (I seem to ask him this question a lot). He said with loving indignation, "What? I like to knit!"<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</li>
<li>Guardian angels get very excited when they are able to communicate with humans they take care of. I have seen and heard them laugh and clap their hands with glee, and even jump up and down. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-G7J-ph1FxpF6opCNKUU4L_2Ra-FvybgLe7QOZxWpPloobHqde0SoV0HfPOGV_4-dr0ywTNoEFmwrjUfkMi1tsAplpvwHWqUkMXEY7BjAMDU_AtjYxiGLnYchV6RBjbTa8vSaQlS7B-w/s1600/happy+angel.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-G7J-ph1FxpF6opCNKUU4L_2Ra-FvybgLe7QOZxWpPloobHqde0SoV0HfPOGV_4-dr0ywTNoEFmwrjUfkMi1tsAplpvwHWqUkMXEY7BjAMDU_AtjYxiGLnYchV6RBjbTa8vSaQlS7B-w/s1600/happy+angel.jpg" /></a></div>
</li>
<li>Fairies are a type of earth angel. I saw a tiny pink fairy sprinkle sparkly dust on her human. And that person felt it too! <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</li>
<li>Angels can appear as lights. If you see lights at the peripheral of your vision, try to note the color. The color indicates which Archangel it is. Michael's lights are blue, Gabriel's lights are white and Uriel's lights are orange. </li>
<li>I once read that Archangel Michael is the inspiration for superheros. I think this is true. I see him with long blond hair and lots of muscles (now imagine him knitting)!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</li>
<li>Archangel Raphael, who is in charge of healing, will come and Reiki with me. I have seen him holding his hands in a Reiki position. Several of my clients have felt his Reiki as pressure or a tingly sensation. </li>

<br />
Over the past couple of years I have gained weight, a lot for me. I recently stopped weighing myself because no matter what the number, whether it be 125 or 155, I am never happy with it. So instead of not being happy with the number on the scale, I just don't weigh myself at all. I have been trying to love myself and everything about me by staying positive and saying positive things to myself. Over the years I haven't been nice to myself when it comes to my weight. Many of you could probably relate to this. <br />
<br />

<br />
I just finished a book by <a href="http://www.nealedonaldwalsch.com/" target="_blank">Neale Donald Walsch</a> called <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Communion-God-Neale-Donald-Walsch/dp/0425189856" target="_blank">Communion With God</a>. In it, God discusses the ten illusions of life. In it God advises about the Illusion of Need:<br />
<br />
<b>The way to step outside of the Illusion of Need is to look at what you think you need right now--that is, what you think you do not now have that you feel you must have--and then notice that, even though you are without it, <i>you are still here</i>.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>The implications of this are enormous. If you are here, right now, without what you think you need, <i>then why do you think you need it?</i></b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>The next time you imagine that you need something, ask yourself: "Why do I think I need this?"</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>If you are seeing clearly, you will realize that you do not need whatever "it" is, that you never needed it and that <i>you have been making it all up</i>. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
So I asked myself. Do I need to lose ten pounds? No. Am I attractive now? Yes. Do I look good for my age? Yes. Am I healthy and in shape? Yes. So what will losing 10 pounds mean? I could fit into some of my old clothes. But those are replaceable, aren't they? <br />
<br />
So the belief that I need to lose 10 pounds is just a story I tell myself. The truth is, I <i>want</i> to lose 10 pounds, but <i>I don't need to</i>.<br />
<br />
Do you tell yourself a story about what you need? A new car? A new house? A new job? Ask yourself, do you need any of these things and would you be happier when you received it?<br />

It really is. Ever since I realized there was a whole another world out there aka the Spirit world, I have never been the same. Once I understood that nothing is random, I pay attention to everything. Believing this latter concept help me understand that the thoughts, feelings and images that popped in my head meant something. Up until a year ago I wasn't paying attention to this information. Now I do and I have become so much wiser and happier because of it. Not only does it help me, but now I can help others with this information. <br />
<br />
Right now the world is changing at a breakneck speed. You either are aware of it aka "awake" or you are not aka "asleep" or somewhere in between. How about you? Are you awake or are you asleep? Today I pulled this card for a client of mine. <br />

There are a group of beautiful unicorns in a forest. The one in the middle is awake and the rest of the unicorns are asleep. This card symbolizes the world today. There are a few who are awake but most people are asleep. Now don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with the people who are asleep and those that are awake or not "better" than others. There is no better or worse just experience, different simultaneous experiences. </div>

When you are awake you realize the following things:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ol>
<li>The physical world is an illusion and the real world is the spirit world and all the beings within it : passed relatives; angels; Archangels; Ascended Masters like Jesus, Mother Mary or Ghandi; Goddesses like Isis or Aphrodite; unicorns, fairies, elves and other spiritual beings. </li>
<li>These spiritual beings constantly give you messages (like love notes) by leaving coins on the ground, feathers, arranging coincidences, showing you the same numbers over and and over again etc. </li>
<li>When you notice these little things they start to add up. I have a new friend who is absolutely befuddled that she keeps seeing feathers everywhere. Of course, these are the angels. </li>
<li>These little "love notes" are little miracles, they are a reminder to you of <b>who you really are</b>: <b>you are a soul having a human experience. </b> Your soul is the real you, the wise you, and the one who is aware of your constant connection with the Spirit realm. </li>
<li>In the end, all these little messages add up to a miraculous day and then a miraculous life. </li>
</ol>

So do you want to see signs too? Look for them, they are all around you! Did you see an unusual animal or insect, look up its meaning as an animal totem. Did you find a penny on the ground? Look at the year on it, does it match the year a loved one passed? It's a message from them that they are OK and they are thinking of you! Found a feather on your bathroom floor? Thank the angel who you left it there for you. Keep seeing the same numbers over and over again on clocks, receipts and license plates? Look up their angel number meanings. </div>

I have believed in reincarnation for a long time. I could simply not believe in the alternative, which would be one life and that's it. That didn't make sense to me at all. We have one life? Why? Why not more? What would be the point of one life? Plus there is so much evidence to the contrary, such as near death experiences or that precious little boy who saw Jesus in the book, and now TV movie, called <a href="http://heavenisforreal.net/" target="_blank">Heaven is Real</a>. Recently a little boy remembered how he was murdered in a previous life, you can read about it <a href="http://www.opposingviews.com/i/society/3-year-old-boy-remembers-being-murdered-past-life-and-leads-adults-proof" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<br />
My first exposure to reincarnation was Buddhist philosophy. I learned that Buddhists believe that all life is precious, including an insect. So you shouldn't deliberately step on a bug. I used to laugh at this especially since I am not fond of bugs. But now that I have evolved spiritually, I actually think twice! I ask myself, is it necessary to kill that bug? Or can I somehow find a way to get it outside? In fact, I recently did this with a <a href="http://spreadthehealinglight.blogspot.com/2014/04/what-is-animal-totem.html" target="_blank">centipede</a> I found in my home. Sometimes it's unavoidable, when the annual parade of ants enters my kitchen after a rainstorm. But now, it's not so easy for me to kill them. <br />

<br />
<br />
When I first learned about Hinduism, they taught that if you were bad in one life, you could be reincarnated as something horrendous, like a slug. I thought that was an interesting concept, but this didn't resonate with me and sounded like the angry God of Catholicism, so I quickly moved on. <br />
<br />
In the past year I have read numerous books on reincarnation, especially information gathered from regression hypnosis from authors like Dr. Brian Weiss, Lois Wetzel or Dolores Cannon. Up until this point, my simple concept of reincarnation was this: a soul was contained in a body, when that body died the soul would leave and eventually would occupy another body. The soul came here to learn lessons or to relearn lessons or make up for mistakes made in past lives. <br />
<br />
Here was my problem, if God was perfect and we were made in the image of her than why were we so imperfect? Why do we even have to learn lessons? The answer is the soul is perfect but we forget that we are when we are born in the physical in order to experience life for God and experience who we really are at any given moment. In fact, I recently learned that a soul is so huge and the vibration so large that it can not be contained in one body, it is more like an enormous energy field. With this fact in mind, and the fact there is no such thing as time and everything is happening right now, our soul could be having hundreds, perhaps thousands (like I have been told in readings) of lives all at the same time!<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
In addition, every thought and decision we make (and the various options/consequences) creates a <a href="http://spiritlibrary.com/gerrit-gielen/meeting-our-past-selves-outside-of-time?utm_source=Spirit+Library+Updates&utm_campaign=78b15bd560-Weekly_Update&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_ef6a5211f4-78b15bd560-140643241" target="_blank">parallel universe</a> where that option is played out! For example, today I decided to lay out in my yard instead of go to the pool. But there is a Tina who in a parallel universe that plays out what happened when I go to the pool instead of stay in my yard.<br />
<br />
Did I lose you yet?<br />
<br />
Let me give you a specific example from my life where I remembered a "past" life that is affecting my "present" one. In fact, in this case my past self is aware of my present self but not vice versa. I have had neck and shoulder pain since I was child. There was not one thing that triggered it, it just started when I was 11. By the time I was a teenager, I was trying to sleep on the floor because I thought the crappy beds in my boarding school were hurting my back. I have been to countless chiropractors and physical therapists. I have taken a ton of Advil. Dr. Weiss and most other past life regressionists, propose that healing can come from remembering past lives, sometimes very quickly. So I have tried to remember what they are through hypnosis, meditation or intuitive readings by others. So far (get ready it's gruesome) I have been mauled by a bear, had my head chopped off, been stoned to death and wore a heavy ibis mask as a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thoth" target="_blank">Thoth</a> priest in ancient Egypt. So far remembering these lives has not gotten rid of the back pain for good.<br />
<br />
Last weekend I saw my mentor and multi-talented spiritual medium, Shaman and Reiki Master <a href="http://www.whispersofjoy.net/" target="_blank">Joy</a>. I asked her to help me resolve this pain, what else do I need to know? What else do I need to heal? She gave me Reiki and had a vision of me as a slave girl with some sort of farming contraption on my shoulders and I was pulling it through earth, like a horse would. She said that this girl is aware of me in my present life and she resents me because she feels like I have an easy life and that she could never be happy. So Joy talked with her to convince her that she could drop that contraption from her shoulders and she no longer needs to carry it, that she can be happy too. She said there was also a fear that once you are happy, it will not last (Joy said every time I have that thought, my back pain may show up again). I admitted that I also felt this way, more so in the past. There is also a future part of myself that is afraid that the happiness won’t last either. So she pulled these two parts of myself into my present body and my angels advised me to “have faith.” Hopefully this will do the trick, otherwise I am open to learning more, and open to further healing. <br /><br />Today I was thinking about that little slave girl. I want her to know that, in her honor, I will do my best to be happy, and to take nothing for granted. And I remind myself, to not view life as a burden, but a source of joy and happiness. Release your burden little one, and enjoy life with me!<br />

We joined an existing tour group in Madrid. They had been traveling a week together before we joined the group. As part of our group, there were two Catholic nuns traveling together. We happened to sit next to them during our first dinner.<br />

Now here is some background before I continue the story. I grew up Catholic. I went to five years of Catholic school. I found Catholic school stifling to say the least: sit down, be quiet, don't talk, don't move etc. Pure obedience was expected. The teachers that I had in Catholic school taught a lot of fear: fear of God especially. Oh also that we all born sinners. I had one nun as a teacher in Catholic school, Sister Mary. She was tall and thin and from New Hampshire. She proudly used to tell the story that every Sunday morning in her small town of Littleton, a parade of cars would leave their driveways to head to Catholic service. Let's just say my opinion of Catholicism is not exactly positive. <br />

<br />
So when I met the Catholic nuns on our tour, I had all these preconceived notions on what they were like already. But I was soon to be proved wrong. First of all, one of the nuns, Mary Ann, was drinking wine. I didn't know nuns drank wine! When she asked me what I did, I told her about my children but I also told her about my Reiki training, interest in crystal healing and the recent moon celebration I attended. And to my shock she thought all of that was wonderful! <br />
<br />
So I get this lesson once in a while, and it has not been my first time: don't judge a book by its cover. I found Mary Ann refreshing and it gave me hope that even Catholic nuns could be modern and open minded!newyawk2000http://www.blogger.com/profile/11681832589900260243noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8458750144290966653.post-83288303369910604252014-04-29T10:32:00.000-07:002014-04-29T10:32:23.580-07:00What is an Animal Totem?<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Nowadays when I see a wild animal, I do not simply see an animal;
I try to understand the spiritual significance of that animal. To me, this is what Animal Totem means. According to my favorite website on animal totems,<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>"The animals
express the spirit nature of that species and exemplify qualities we can learn
from. They are psychological and spiritual symbols that convey to us qualities
we are needing or lacking in our daily lives. They are a mirror of us reflecting
our own innate qualities to help ourselves better understand our connection to
all things."<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If you pay attention to nature or simply look around, there
are animals everywhere. When you see the
same animal over and over again, you need to pay attention this. There is a message for you. If you have an unusual sighting of an animal,
pay attention to that too. I look up
that animal or insect at this site <a href="http://www.starstuffs.com/animal_totems/index.html">http://www.starstuffs.com/animal_totems/index.html</a>. <o:p></o:p></div>

Last week I found a large centipede hiding under a paper cup
in my basement bathroom. To be honest, I
am not over fond of bugs especially if they end up inside my home. So I ran the water over it but it was too big
to go down the drain. So I continued to
run the water and captured it in a cup and tossed it outside. Hey, at least I didn’t kill it! I quickly looked up what a centipede meant
here it said,<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>“Movement into new
psychic connections and relationships. Protection against psychic deceptions.
Balance, coordination, ability to survive stress, the beauty of coordinated
movement.”<o:p></o:p></i></div>

So what do I do with this piece of information? I try to understand how this animal sighting
is significant in my life now. Sometimes
it doesn't make sense right away, so I file it away and take a look at it
later. That’s the way Spirit works, you
have to pay attention, make note of it and eventually it will make sense. Like putting puzzles pieces together. <o:p></o:p></div>

Today I had the privilege of meeting my animal totem, a
black bear. I was doing a guided
meditation as part of an online course called Find Your Calling in the Akashics
(you can find this course on the www.dailyom.com).
My animal totem was supposed to appear out of the forest and there it
was, a black bear. I asked the bear its
name and it said Mario. He told me that
he is my animal totem because he is a combination of ferociousness and
nurturing. Do I know exactly what this
means? Not really. Could it be referring to me? Possibly.
According to my animal totem website, a bear represents:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>“Sub/Unconscious mind, strength, grounding, inner energy of
soul to find answers, judgments, are you too critical or not critical enough,
inner power to taste the honey of life. Bear teaches caution, quiet of the mind
and silence within. There is great power in introspection which awakens
insights and opportunities. Bears teach leadership, natural healing abilities
and defending when necessary. Are you eating a balanced diet? Utilizing your
intuition? Being cautious? Brown, black or white, what does the color say to
you? Bear will show how to balance and express oneself.”</i><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Isn't it amazing how one animal can represent so many things
and deliver such a detailed message? So
pay attention to the animals that appear in your life, look up their significance
and learn from the messages they are giving you!<o:p></o:p></div>

For years I wanted to meditate but I was always intimidated by the idea. How could I quiet my mind when my mind was always constantly racing? Plus I would probably sit there chastising myself for not being able to clear my mind! So I decided to start with guided meditations. One of the meditations I downloaded was one to <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001GQJ0W6/ref=oh_d__o05_details_o05__i02?ie=UTF8&psc=1" target="_blank">meet your guardian angel</a>. <br />
<br />
I have always fantasized about my guardian angel. Who could it be? A relative who passed? Or my dad? I imagined my guardian angel with me in times of distress but I never consistently thought of him/her. I imagined that they would show up in life or death situations but I couldn't imagine them being around the mundane happenings in my life. I always liked the idea of angels but I was never sure they existed. I really wanted them to be real! Well, little did I know, I was about to find out!<br />
<br />
When I began my guardian angel meditation, I laid down in what yogis like to call the corpse pose.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdzRdWcBtGUjkSSD0E8h_NO7NVHCwwAQ5nSs6cYWx0THPK7fDUDIrxZg3T0RqNVv19IMwN0kDr2MpDDaCFS65LS34dRIaQbz01u34MyN9_DrQ_G25Vabr0HQc7hjgFUnrCRZHud9yCcbM/s1600/corpse+pose.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdzRdWcBtGUjkSSD0E8h_NO7NVHCwwAQ5nSs6cYWx0THPK7fDUDIrxZg3T0RqNVv19IMwN0kDr2MpDDaCFS65LS34dRIaQbz01u34MyN9_DrQ_G25Vabr0HQc7hjgFUnrCRZHud9yCcbM/s1600/corpse+pose.jpg" /></a></div>
I was never fond of sitting with my legs crossed. My feet always fell asleep or my back would start to hurt. So I started the meditation in the corpse pose and tried to focus on the narrator's words. She guided me through a garden and eventually to a person. I could imagine all this well up until this point. As I focused with my mind's eye a.k.a. my third chakra (centered in the middle of your forehead), a form started to appear before me. I had no expectations on who it could be. I even imagined it would be someone I didn't even know. I couldn't really see the person at first, like he/she was in fog. This is often called "the veil". When a medium tries to connect with a spiritual being it's like trying to see through a veil. <br />
<br />
When I asked the being who it was, he answered Archangel Gabriel. Ummm what?! I laid there in shock. But the meditation continued so I just followed it. Then he started to appear more clearly to me. He had long dark brown hair and a blue gown with a roped belt and humongous wings. I mean huge, a lot of artwork out there does not do it justice! Later I searched the internet for a picture that resembled him. This was the closest I could find...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAQgbpE5PkPqTXDP-qpj_CFZOnYaRptNKyhJlZFuN6zrxsVqPfphebO7vs_CT5a7N1RZSy5TCwAGe3_T7ckumrDlY_q0ecf0GUma9-P6fG9m0ZNYPMPedL8Iqp9GyGmljsFDUbxAkbxBE/s1600/Archangel+Gabriel.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAQgbpE5PkPqTXDP-qpj_CFZOnYaRptNKyhJlZFuN6zrxsVqPfphebO7vs_CT5a7N1RZSy5TCwAGe3_T7ckumrDlY_q0ecf0GUma9-P6fG9m0ZNYPMPedL8Iqp9GyGmljsFDUbxAkbxBE/s1600/Archangel+Gabriel.jpg" height="320" width="212" /></a></div>
<br />
But again his wings were much bigger. They were probably twice as high as the picture above. He also had a twinkle in his eye and of course, was very handsome. <br />
<br />
I was immediately comfortable with him. I hugged him and I could see his enormous wings around me. I asked him if he had a message for me. He said, "Keep doing what you're doing. You're doing a good job and so many people (in the spirit world) are watching you and they are proud of you." We didn't talk much after that. We just enjoyed being together. We danced and he twirled me around. He flew into the air and flapped his ginormous wings. He was simply awesome. <br />
<br />
I was actually crying during the meditation and I felt my heart chaka opening. He felt like a fatherly figure and I felt safe with him. After the meditation I still couldn't believe it. I didn't even know that someone's guardian angel could be an Archangel. For those of you who don't know, Gabriel is in the Bible. He is the angel who told Mary that she was going to give birth to Jesus! According to Doreen Virtue's book <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Archangels-Ascended-Masters-Doreen-Virtue/dp/1401900631/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1398040970&sr=1-1&keywords=angels+and+ascended+masters" target="_blank">Angels and Ascended Masters</a>, Gabriel is the angel of parents, art and communication. Since I am a parent, an art teacher and a blogger, well that's just about perfect!<br />
<br />
Since then I have connected with Gabriel many times. It's quite easy for me to communicate with him, I simply have to take a few deep breaths and then feel out with my mind if he's there. He always is. newyawk2000http://www.blogger.com/profile/11681832589900260243noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8458750144290966653.post-21125014763703743912014-04-07T14:48:00.000-07:002014-04-07T14:48:37.952-07:00Why We Should Play With Magic<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Have you ever heard of the song by Katy Perry called the Dark Horse? The lyrics go like this:<br />
<div style="border: 0px none; font-family: Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px; margin: 0px 10px; padding: 0px; text-align: center;">
<br style="border: 0px none; font-size: 1em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />I knew you were<br style="border: 0px none; font-size: 1em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />You were gonna come to me<br style="border: 0px none; font-size: 1em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />And here you are<br style="border: 0px none; font-size: 1em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />But you better choose carefully<br style="border: 0px none; font-size: 1em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />‘Cause I, I’m capable of anything<br style="border: 0px none; font-size: 1em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />Of anything and everything<br style="border: 0px none; font-size: 1em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="border: 0px none; font-size: 1em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />Make me your Aphrodite<br style="border: 0px none; font-size: 1em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />Make me your one and only<br style="border: 0px none; font-size: 1em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />But don’t make me your enemy, your enemy, your enemy<br style="border: 0px none; font-size: 1em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="border: 0px none; font-size: 1em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />So you wanna play with magic<br style="border: 0px none; font-size: 1em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />Boy, you should know what you're falling for<br style="border: 0px none; font-size: 1em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />Baby do you dare to do this?<br style="border: 0px none; font-size: 1em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />Cause I’m coming at you like a dark horse<br style="border: 0px none; font-size: 1em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />Are you ready for, ready for<br style="border: 0px none; font-size: 1em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />A perfect storm, perfect storm<br style="border: 0px none; font-size: 1em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />Cause once you’re mine, once you’re mine<br style="border: 0px none; font-size: 1em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />There’s no going back<br style="border: 0px none; font-size: 1em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="border: 0px none; font-size: 1em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />Mark my words<br style="border: 0px none; font-size: 1em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />This love will make you levitate<br style="border: 0px none; font-size: 1em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />Like a bird<br style="border: 0px none; font-size: 1em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />Like a bird without a cage<br style="border: 0px none; font-size: 1em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />But down to earth<br style="border: 0px none; font-size: 1em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />If you choose to walk away, don’t walk away<br style="border: 0px none; font-size: 1em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="border: 0px none; font-size: 1em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />It’s in the palm of your hand now baby<br style="border: 0px none; font-size: 1em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />It’s a yes or no, no maybe<br style="border: 0px none; font-size: 1em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />So just be sure before you give it all to me<br style="border: 0px none; font-size: 1em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />All to me, give it all to me<br style="border: 0px none; font-size: 1em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="border: 0px none; font-size: 1em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />So you wanna play with magic<br style="border: 0px none; font-size: 1em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />Boy, you should know what you're falling for<br style="border: 0px none; font-size: 1em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />Baby do you dare to do this?<br style="border: 0px none; font-size: 1em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />Cause I’m coming at you like a dark horse<br style="border: 0px none; font-size: 1em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />Are you ready for, ready for<br style="border: 0px none; font-size: 1em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />A perfect storm, perfect storm<br style="border: 0px none; font-size: 1em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />Cause once you’re mine, once you’re mine (love trippin')<br style="border: 0px none; font-size: 1em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />There’s no going back<br style="border: 0px none; font-size: 1em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This song plays with a lot of stereotypes about magic: that it's forbidden, that it means putting a sexual spell on men and that it's all powerful. There is a reason why magic has a bad name and it has to do with female power.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In BC, people worshiped both both <a href="http://www.datehookup.com/content-the-gods-and-goddesses-of-ancient-mythology.htm" target="_blank">gods and goddesses</a>. Then 2,000 years ago goddess worship dropped out of sight as Christianity began to grow. Coincidence? I think not. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
Part of my spiritual journey is to understand feminine power and one way to do this is to learn about <a href="http://www.goddess-guide.com/goddess-names.html" target="_blank">ancient goddesses</a>. A second way is to embrace my menstrual cycle. I recently read a book called <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Moon-Time-guide-celebrating-menstrual/dp/1468056719/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1396898927&sr=1-2&keywords=moon+time" target="_blank">Moon Time: a Guide to Celebrating Your Menstrual Cycle by Lucy H. Pearce</a>. I've decided instead of ignoring my cycle and pretending it doesn't exist (i.e. the woman's curse), I would instead try to understand it. Everything contains cycles, the four seasons is a well-known example. The definition of cycle is a series of events that are regularly repeated in the same order. And inherent in that definition is that each week varies. So during any woman's menstrual cycle, each week varies.<br />
<br />
Do you remember the commercials that advertised you can do anything during your period, even wear a white bikini? <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVk5jCZTtJWTerDEeK7WMtBX9YKfdEMHOiCVBEvAZgI_xLkmUKKBQ41PuZPWyCrJXAcugq1J2vEZfTbW7Qu7nLYL0FhyV-cG9pnzNmP_qQ4LrS_f-LZnHWRyNNwGlLY5zqy6cQUgZ4T7M/s1600/tampon+bikini.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVk5jCZTtJWTerDEeK7WMtBX9YKfdEMHOiCVBEvAZgI_xLkmUKKBQ41PuZPWyCrJXAcugq1J2vEZfTbW7Qu7nLYL0FhyV-cG9pnzNmP_qQ4LrS_f-LZnHWRyNNwGlLY5zqy6cQUgZ4T7M/s1600/tampon+bikini.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<div>
Like who decided this was a good idea? In fact, Pearce says that during the "bleeding time" we should be taking it easy. This is not the week to be doing high energy work or making big decisions. The week of our periods is the time to regroup. And what does society tell us? You can do anything during your period. Don't let it stop you. But this is not necessarily what is best for women. And there certainly is no understanding of how cycles work and affect women. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Did you know that a woman's cycle used to be tied to the moon? Pearce says that "the most common menstrual pattern is to bleed on the dark moon and to ovulate on the full moon...the 28 day menstrual cycle correlates with the moon's cycle." How many women out there have a cycle like this? With the advent of birth control and artificial light (which changes our natural hormonal response to the moonlight) our cycles are all out of wack!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Why is this important and what does this have to do with magic? The source of feminine power is within the womb. This is the ultimate source of our creativity, where we grow our babies. Does this sound like magic to you? Well it is! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Other ways that feminine power manifests is in our ability to nurture and use our right-brown power i.e. yes, psychic abilities such as intuition, feeling, thoughts that convey messages for ourselves and others. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So Katy Perry sings "So you wanna play with magic? Boy you should know who you're falling for". Go ahead play with magic. It's not a bad thing and for women, it only comes natural. No one is going to burn us at the stake for this. It's safe now. Embrace your magical female power. </div>

<br />
<br />
I had my second mediumship class with <a href="http://www.whispersofjoy.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Joy</a> today. Today I focused on connecting with souls that Joy could verify herself. While I was connecting, I would just receive thoughts or sometimes I would see what I would call pictures in my mind. One of the souls I connected to was a little girl. I had the feeling this girl haunted Joy when she herself was a child. Joy verified this and said that yes, as a little girl she was scared to death of the basement and she had imagined snakes under her bed. I understood that this little ghost girl was bitten by a snake in the basement and consequently died. I also knew that she liked to hide in Joy's closet. Joy said she didn't like to leave her hand or foot dangling over the bed for fear "something" would touch her.<br />
<br />
The ghost girl used to play with Joy but Joy did not remember this. I saw a blue ball that they would play with together, but Joy said she didn't remember that either. I sensed that the ghost girl was very mischievous, she liked to scare or "play" with Joy. She said she was sorry for scaring Joy.<br />
<br />
I could picture Joy's bedroom...a small twin bed on the right, a window straight ahead and a small closet on the left. Joy said the only inaccuracy was where the closet was...but she said that she used to change bedrooms in the house so that may explain it. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEia3EX3yfTjGuEKJk2nia2lllV6Utw8jK7bgyELMakDkeUyTD7_suy19-pe4_LY8X7UUBv21EJ81VzPGntWSfxeZ2HYYsTn-fADASoopGOPh3Go6hRM4N88MEDtcPJd8NL8h-eUqn-pNCc/s1600/Joy's+room.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEia3EX3yfTjGuEKJk2nia2lllV6Utw8jK7bgyELMakDkeUyTD7_suy19-pe4_LY8X7UUBv21EJ81VzPGntWSfxeZ2HYYsTn-fADASoopGOPh3Go6hRM4N88MEDtcPJd8NL8h-eUqn-pNCc/s1600/Joy's+room.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
I paused at this time when I was not getting any information. And then I asked myself, is this girl stuck on Earth? I wasn't sure so I asked Joy if she thought the ghost girl was stuck. She was! So Joy asked if we should help her cross over. I enthusiastically said yes! This time Joy did most of the talking and she asked the girl to look around for the light. The girl said she was scared and she was afraid of the snakes on the other side. Joy told her that it was safe on the other side, only love and light. She asked the girl if she wanted her mother to come and get her. The girl refused saying she was scared of her mother. Apparently, Joy said the little girl's mother used to lock her in the basement so that was not a good choice. Joy then asked if her grandmother could come get her and she was also scared of her. So Joy asked her angels to come get her. And for a few minutes we both sat in silence. After a while, I felt light (like a weight had been lifted) and I sensed that the little ghost had gone into the light. Joy verified that she did.<br />
<br />
My soul literally soared after this. I felt wonderful helping this little girl who was stuck in Joy's childhood home for at least 45 years if not longer! I am also amazed that Joy could communicate with a the same soul I could. <br />

That being said, I forget a lot of details of my dreams if I don't write them down in a journal. But some dreams do stay with me, especially if I think they're unusual and I think about them a lot after I wake up. <br />
<br />
Have you ever looked at a dream interpretation dictionary, looked up your dream and it still didn't make sense to you? I used to think that dreams were symbolic but I still could not make sense of them. Once I really starting delving into past lives, my dreams started making more sense. I started to take my dreams more literally and they started to make sense as past life memories or stories. This is especially helpful if you had a bad or disturbing dream and have no idea what it means. For example, the last "bad" dream I had was quite disturbing and it woke me up in the middle of the night. When the dream begins, I suddenly know that I am responsible for killing a young horse. I see that the horse has been severed completely below the shoulders (gruesome I know but hang in there). I try to get rid of the young horse by putting it into a pit. The mother horse approaches the pit, looks into it and recognizes its her baby. Suddenly she looks up at me with an intent to get me for this. She starts after me and I run for my life toward a farmhouse, knowing if the horse catches up to me she will kill me (and rightly so I might add). When I get to the door of the farm house I have to open three successive doors to enter. I make it inside just in time and I wake up.<br />

As I lay there disturbed about the dream, I asked myself why am I dreaming this. My only conclusion is this must be a past life dream. Of course I could go the traditional route and try to understand the symbology of the dream...like the young horse represents something that ended or an idea I rejected, but that seems like too much work. It's just easier and makes more sense that this is a past life memory. <br />
<br />
When you have a dream, ask yourself what is the lesson of the dream? What am I supposed to learn? Then ask yourself who is in the dream and does it represent someone in your present life? When I reflected on the dream, I felt that I was running away from a mistake that I made. I knew within the dream that I did something wrong. The lesson is that I have to face my mistakes and not run away from them. <br />
<br />
As for anyone familiar in the dream I came up with a disturbing answer/thought. I believe the soul of the young horse is the same soul of my beagle who passed away over two years ago. Let me tell you a little about him. His name was Tucker and he was originally my husband's dog. He was 4 years old when we all met. Tucker was not an easy dog to live with. He was a dominant fellow who was barely trained when I met him (sorry hubby but it's true). Of course here comes a new member of the family (me) who is also an alpha female. So of course we clashed. Although I loved Tucker, it was hard to love him sometimes even though I tried. When he passed away I was wrecked. I thought I was prepared because he had been sick for months, but my heart still broke. <br />

<br />
In the weeks and months after he passed, I dreamed of him several times. In the first dream I saw him as a young Tucker running wildly in a grassy field. I figured that was a good sign that he was happy now. In another dream he was older and heavier like he was toward the end of his life. There were older kids picking on him, trying to ride him like a "horsie" (wow I see how this applies now). I gently tell the children to get off of him, that he's old and fragile. Tucker looks up at me gratefully. I understood this dream as Tucker's message to me that he was grateful that I took care of him in the end.<br />
<br />
As I think of Tucker now, I do really miss him but sometimes I feel ashamed that I didn't have more patience with him. Regardless of how frustrated he made me feel, I still took care of him and he was my constant companion until the end of his days. And I think through my dreams, I have understood what kind of past we had together and how during each successive lifetime he gave me lessons to learn and I had to rise to meet the challenge of them. <br />
<br />
So if you have a dream you can't figure out, ask yourself the following questions: what is the lesson of the dream? How does this lesson apply to you today? Who is familiar in this dream to you? Because the dream may be more than symbolic, it could actually be a past life memory reminding you of a lesson that you learned or may still need to learn. <br />

The conference title <a href="http://www.brianweiss.com/about-the-books/many-lives-many-masters/" target="_blank">Many Lives, Many Masters</a> is also a title of one his books. When I attended the <a href="http://www.hayhouse.com/lectures-events/" target="_blank">Hay House I Can Do It! </a>conference in National Harbor last fall, Dr. Weiss presented there as well and led a group meditation. During the meditation I remembered quite a few past lives and so I find his method of mediation/hypnosis very effective. Since then I purchased one of his <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1401922333/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1" target="_blank">CDs on meditation</a> which I have had good results with as well. <br />

My hometown is New York City and I don't get many chances to visit. This trip was a special treat for me, since I did it alone (parents with young children know what I am talking about). Just being on the bus by myself reading, listening to music and writing in a journal without interruptions was just pure pleasure. <br />
<br />
As I was on the bus, we traveled down a road I often drive on called Sycolin Creek. It's a rural road and known for deer. There are fields of corn and quaint farm houses with sheep and horses along this road. Because I was on a commuter bus, I was higher up than I usually am in my sedan. Then I had a realization, we often see the world from one viewpoint, like from the car or from the ground. But there are actually multiple views, from above and from below. And just because we don't see it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. This same concept can be applied to the spirit world. We have a three dimensional view but that doesn't mean that there are not other views or dimensions. You just can't see it from where you are standing. So keep your mind open, and know that what you see is not all that is and it's not the complete picture. There could be a stream you missed, a deer in the woods or a hill above you that you didn't notice before. <br />
<br />
On Saturday morning I checked in to the conference. As expected, most of the attendees were women. This is no surprise to me and it doesn't make me sad, I just take it as a sign that women are "waking up" faster than men right now. In addition, for thousands of years women have been suppressed, both physically and emotionally, and literally we are rising up and and breaking free. These are all good signs.<br />
<br />
As Dr.Weiss spoke to a bigger-than-expected turnout of 2,000 people, he shared some statistics about belief in past lives. He said more than half of the world believes in past lives. In the US about 25-35% of Americans believe in past lives, so we are actually lagging behind the rest of the world (no surprise there). I felt these facts were reassuring since I often feel alone in my beliefs. He said countries like India and Argentina are very excited about past lives. He said it was slowly changing and that more and more people are becoming open to it. In addition, only half the people at the conference would have a past life memory but they might get a message from spirit instead. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">During the day, we did three meditations. Two were focused on past lives and the final one was focused on healing an ailment. We also practiced psychometry. According to Wikipedia, psychometry means spirit measure and is</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 19.200000762939453px;"> a form of </span><a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extra-sensory_perception" style="background-color: white; background-image: none; font-family: inherit; line-height: 19.200000762939453px; text-decoration: none;" title="Extra-sensory perception"><span style="color: black;">extra-sensory perception</span></a><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 19.200000762939453px;"> characterized by the claimed ability to make relevant associations from an object of unknown history by making physical contact with that object. In other words, you hold a stranger's object of choice, </span></span><span style="line-height: 19.200000762939453px;">meditate</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 19.200000762939453px;"> on it and </span></span><span style="line-height: 19.200000762939453px;">receive</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 19.200000762939453px;"> messages about that person.

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 19.200000762939453px;">During the first meditation, which was 30 minutes, I remembered the following (Dr.Weiss asked us to remember a childhood memory, while in utero and then a past life):</span></span></span><br />

<ol>
<li><span style="line-height: 19.200000762939453px;">I was a little girl of about four years in this lifetime. I had pigtails and I was swinging in the sunshine at Riverside Park close to where I lived in Manhattan. I was feeling very happy. My father was there watching me. Suddenly I noticed a boy close to my age standing at the top of a slide. He had dark brown hair in a bowl cut and brown eyes. Then I jump to a scene where he and I were sitting next to each other on a small patch of grass watching a ladybug. We were just watching it, fascinated. I recalled my father standing there watching us and then suddenly the little boy was gone. I realized that the boy was not in physical form but in spirit and I felt very close to him. When he left I felt very sad. </span></li>

2. While in the womb, I could feel myself floating and feeling very safe and loved. I could hear my mother speaking in Filipino, and my father's voice as well. (At this point Dr. Weiss asked us to fast forward to our birth). I remember as I was being born, I was losing all my past life memories. I felt cold and a very loving nurse wrapped me in a blanket. She seemed familiar. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3. Here I remembered a life between lives on Earth (this is my first memory of an in-between life). I was in a large castle-like building and I was a being of light. I looked like a column of light but I could see an image of a human-like person inside. There were many light beings rushing around, busy. It reminded me of 5th avenue on a busy day. We were communicating to each other telepathically, saying hello and how are you but not pausing our work. We were "earth angels" helping humans! I felt emotional remembering this. There were so many requests coming through that we didn't have time to stop. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I forwarded to a later time in that life where I am with my soul group. A soul group is a group of souls that reincarnate together over and over again. My husband, daughters and parents were all there. We were planning our lives for our incarnation in this lifetime. I saw us gathering together laughing at some of our Earth plans. Later I saw us getting ready to incarnate in chronological order. So my parents went first. I was holding hands with my husband, ready to go. Then I remembered Archangel Gabriel and I having a conversation alone, just the two of us. We planned something together for this lifetime. Something I was going to do and he was going to help me. I saw an image of a key. A key to unlocking something? I am not sure. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In the afternoon, we did another second 30 minute meditation. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A male spirit guide named John appears. He shows me rooms in the Akashic Hall of Records (a place in the spirit world where all knowledge is stored, including each person's soul book). I remembered the following past lives.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1) I see an image of me as a male warrior throwing a spear at a woolly mammoth. I ask John what's the lesson for remembering this life? I hear that I must appreciate the animals in my life and never take them for granted. In this past life as a warrior, I did not appreciate how this animal provided food and clothing for me. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2) It's 1500 during the Renaissance in Italy. I am a male artist working under the mentor-ship of the great artists of that time. I was afraid to speak my truth because often people were persecuted, tortured and killed for voicing their beliefs. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3) My friend Peter (name changed for privacy reasons) asked me to remember a past life with him and this is what I remembered. This is the first time I did a meditation where I intended on remembering a past life with someone. I wasn't sure it would work but it did. This life was during Atlantis. I am wearing shoes that look like Santa's elf shoes and they are made of a shimmery material. I am also wearing a robe of similar material. I am female and I am friends with Peter. He is a like a mad scientist and he is working on experiments that he shouldn't be working on. I have warned him that he shouldn't go down this path and it was dangerous. But he refuses to listen. Fast forward and Peter dies in an accident as a result of his experiments. I feel sad that he didn't listen to me. But the lesson in this life is that I can counsel someone but they have the free will to do whatever they want. So the lesson is to let it go. The lesson for Peter is to avoid extremism and stay balanced. I die peacefully of old age, outliving everyone that I loved. </div>

Psychometric Exercise</h3>
<div>
Dr. Weiss asked us to exchange an object with a stranger. I exchanged my wedding ring with a woman sitting in front of me. She gave me a necklace with the initial S on it. Dr. Weiss asked us to sit quietly for five minutes, open to receiving messages, images, thoughts or feelings while we held the object. At first I kept thinking of Archangel Michael. So I asked him what's the message? He told me that the woman I was reading for had to trust her abilities. She had to work on her self confidence. Because there was an initial S on her necklace, I kept wondering what the name was. I thought an "Sa" name like Samantha or Sally. But then I thought the S was not her name but her child's name. I also got the impression that this woman was going on a vacation somewhere sunny, perhaps without children. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
When we starting discussing our impression, the woman, Jane told me that her son's name had an "Sa" in it and yes, she was going to San Francisco by herself soon. I asked her if she ever prayed to Archangel Michael and she said no, so I encouraged her to seek his help since he has a interest in her. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
She envisioned me living in a two story house surrounded by trees. This is an accurate description of my house. She also saw me taking off two rings and putting them in a box on my dresser. The dresser has a mirror. She had the impression that there was nothing negative about taking off the rings. This was correct as well. I often take off my wedding and engagement rings at night because in the morning my fingers swell up and the rings are tight. Ironically, I just got those rings re-sized! She sensed that my bedroom was green (it's got teal bedding). She also thought about Roanoke, VA. I had no idea what that was about. But I have filed this away since I am sure it will come up...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So I would say that was an extremely productive day! And I met a few people that hope to keep in touch with!</div>

Every time I listen to the song Let It Go from Disney's movie Frozen I feel emotional. I would get a lump in my throat or my eyes would tear up. The singer Idina Menzel does an amazing job of singing the song, but of course it's more than that, so I started reflecting on it. If you are not familiar with the song, here are the lyrics:<br />
<br />
<b style="border: 0px none; font-family: Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center;"> "Let It Go"</b><br />
<br />
<div style="border: 0px none; font-family: Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px; margin: 0px 10px; padding: 0px; text-align: center;">
The snow glows white on the mountain tonight<br />
Not a footprint to be seen<br />
A kingdom of isolation,<br />
And it looks like I’m the Queen.<br />
<br style="border: 0px none; font-size: 1em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />
The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside<br />
Couldn’t keep it in, heaven knows I tried<br />
<br style="border: 0px none; font-size: 1em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />
Don’t let them in, don’t let them see<br />
Be the good girl you always have to be<br />
Conceal, don’t feel, don’t let them know<br />
Well, now they know<br />
<br style="border: 0px none; font-size: 1em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />
Let it go, let it go<br />
Can’t hold it back anymore<br />
Let it go, let it go<br />
Turn away and slam the door<br />
<br style="border: 0px none; font-size: 1em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />
I don’t care<br />
What they’re going to say<br />
Let the storm rage on,<br />
The cold never bothered me anyway<br />
<br style="border: 0px none; font-size: 1em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />
It’s funny how some distance<br />
Makes everything seem small<br />
And the fears that once controlled me<br />
Can’t get to me at all<br />
<br style="border: 0px none; font-size: 1em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />
It’s time to see what I can do<br />
To test the limits and break through<br />
No right, no wrong, no rules for me<br />
I’m free<br />
<br style="border: 0px none; font-size: 1em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />
Let it go, let it go<br />
I am one with the wind and sky<br />
Let it go, let it go<br />
You’ll never see me cry<br />
<br style="border: 0px none; font-size: 1em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />
Here I stand<br />
And here I'll stay<br />
Let the storm rage on<br />
<br style="border: 0px none; font-size: 1em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />
My power flurries through the air into the ground<br />
My soul is spiraling in frozen fractals all around<br />
And one thought crystallizes like an icy blast<br />
I’m never going back,<br />
The past is in the past<br />
<br style="border: 0px none; font-size: 1em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />
Let it go, let it go<br />
And I'll rise like the break of dawn<br />
Let it go, let it go<br />
That perfect girl is gone<br />
<br style="border: 0px none; font-size: 1em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />
Here I stand<br />
In the light of day<br />
Let the storm rage on,<br />
The cold never bothered me anyway<br />

I think this is a tremendous message for all of us today, particularly girls and women. This song is talking about dropping the facade and letting your true self come through. How many girls out there were taught to be quiet, good, obedient and don't ruffle any feathers? I was that girl too. </div>

I love that my little girls love this song. And every time it's played and we sing it, it helps all of us to be true to ourselves and not abide by rules of what we "should" be. </div>
<div style="border: 0px none; font-family: Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px; margin: 0px 10px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">

<div style="border: 0px none; font-family: Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px; margin: 0px 10px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">
In the movie, once Elsa (the character who sings the song in the movie) overcomes her fear, she learns to love. And she realizes love could harness her power. Once we let it go, we will realize our true power inside. And I want all the little girls out there to let it go and be free, and be one with wind and sky. </div>

In general, basements and attics give me the creeps. I have a theory that ghosts (spirits stuck on earth) or souls (spirits that can come and go) like to go to these areas of the house. Maybe they don't want to be bothered? Who knows. That explanation makes more sense for ghosts rather than souls. <br />
<br />
Over the years I have discovered that I could feel other spirits' presence. It's like you know that you are not alone but that other person is invisible! Sometimes it can make me uncomfortable. I am OK with knowing they are there but I usually send a silent message not to show themselves. I think this also explains why I was so afraid of the dark as a child. I believe I was feeling those spirits and it freaked me out. <br />
<br />
I could feel that there was presence in my basement. But I had no idea who it was. Recently I figured it out. But you have to hear the back story first...<br />
<br />
Last Christmas my sister came to visit with her family. She brought her dog with her. They put his crate in the basement and then asked him to come down the stairs. He just stood at the top of the stairs and barked and whined. My sister said he usually doesn't act like that. I thought to myself, uh oh. Maybe he's picking up on the spirit that I was sensing as well? Eventually we coaxed him downstairs and he never fussed again. But that event stayed with me. <br />
<br />
Recently I took a Tarot class with medium/shaman <a href="http://www.whispersofjoy.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Joy Andreasen</a>. In our second class, we were discussing dreams. She said that sometimes you dream about a person because they are actually thinking of you. Sometimes I dream about random people that I know, and wonder why am I dreaming of them. Before we met for our last class, I dreamed of Patrick Swayze. And no, I had not watched any Patrick Swayze movies or heard any music form Dirty Dancing lately. I dreamed that he and I were in a relationship and we were walking around Los Angeles. And Patrick was very unhappy. We went to place to place and after a while, I turned to him and said, "You know why you are unhappy? Because this place does not fit your values." When I woke up I thought, why in the world am I dreaming of Patrick Swayze?<br />
<br />
So I posed this question to Joy who said she believed I actually had a soul connection with Patrick Swayze in the dream. Then she asked me if I had dreamed of others who passed. I said, yes, all the time. I thought everybody did, but I have since learned that this is not common. She told me that she believed I had mediumship abilities and that she could help me with this. How could I turn down an opportunity like that? <br />
<br />
That night several things happened to me to remind me why I didn't want to communicate with "ghosts." My husband was out of town so I was already nervous about sleeping alone. I don't know why I feel this way but he's like my security blanket. Anyway, I went down to a utility closet in the basement and as I entered I saw a flash of movement behind me and to the left. Then I paused and thought "child girl." I thought hmmm I think I will leave the basement now!<br />
<br />
As I was getting my daughters ready for bed that night I was taking care of my toddler while my seven year old was in her room. My seven year old comes to me and says, "Mommy I heard a sound. It sounded like a child but I know it wasn't my sister." Now I am freaking out even more...my daughter didn't give me any other details and she couldn't imitate the sound. I decided to drop the subject so my daughter wouldn't be afraid as well. <br />
<br />
Later on the same night, I was journaling and I heard an exhalation. I stopped writing and knew it was the same spirit I saw earlier and that my daughter heard. Needless to say I slept with the light on that night! I also emailed Joy with my concerns. She told me I can learn how to turn off the communication at will. <br />

During my first mediumship class with Joy, I connected with three departed souls. The last soul I connected with was a little blond girl around the age of seven named Mary. Joy guided me to ask her questions, like how did she die? When I received an answer, it wasn't like I heard it. It's more like I "know" the answer with my thoughts or I would see an image and describe the image. I was not unfamiliar with this because I experienced this "knowing" when I did the past life regression (see second blog post). She communicated that she died in an accidental drowning in Goose Creek in Leesburg, VA. This location is not far from my house. So I determined that she must be the spirit that was visiting my house! I asked out loud and to Joy that I didn't sense her being stuck here. And Joy felt she was just a spirit that liked to visit. I also "knew" that she liked to visit and she especially liked my older daughter. She seem to be attached to me as well. I suddenly knew that this spirit and I had a past life connection, I was actually her mother in a past life!<br />
<br />
A day later I had another realization. Last fall I had a physic reading with <a href="http://www.denalilove.com/" target="_blank">Dennis Jackson</a> over the telephone. He asked me if I had three children. I told him I had only two. He said that there was a third soul waiting to be born to me. He said it didn't have to happen because we have free will. I just felt touched there was another soul who wanted to be born as my child. But I definitely don't want to have anymore children. <br />
<br />
I now know that this third child is Mary. This is the wonderful thing about the spirit world. It's like putting the puzzle pieces together. The Divine leaves little clues around until you figure it out. <br />

<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have believed in reincarnation for a long time. It didn't make sense to me that we would have one life, die and then there was nothing. Like what's the point of that? If there is a purpose to all of this, then wouldn't we keep coming back? Over and over again I kept hearing that Earth was like spiritual boot camp. So we kept returning and kept learning lessons. Hopefully we become enlightened enough to stop. At least that's my hope. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So last June, I decided to find a regression hypnotherapist. This is a person trained to hypnotize you so that you have the ability to remember your past lives. I had already read several books by <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=ntt_athr_dp_sr_1?ie=UTF8&field-author=Brian+L.+Weiss&search-alias=books&text=Brian+L.+Weiss&sort=relevancerank" target="_blank">Dr. Brian Weiss </a>on past life regression. According to his website, Dr. Weiss,<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;">a traditional psychotherapist, was "astonished and skeptical when one of his patients began recalling past-life traumas that seemed to hold the key to her recurring nightmares and anxiety attacks. His skepticism was eroded, however, when she began to channel messages from “the space between lives,” which contained remarkable revelations about Dr. Weiss’s family and his dead son. Using past-life therapy, he was able to cure the patient and embark on a new, more meaningful phase of his own career."</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">I searched the internet and found </span><a href="http://www.estheriseman.com/" style="line-height: 18px;" target="_blank">Dr. Esther Iseman</a><span style="line-height: 18px;"> in Reston, VA. She is a licensed marriage and family therapist, a certified clinical therapist and trained in regression therapy. I thought great! She sounded perfect. So I went ahead and made an appointment. I had to make a two hour </span><span style="line-height: 18px;">appointment</span><span style="line-height: 18px;">. The first hour was devoted to getting to know me and the second hour we did the regression. She asked me to come with a question that I wanted answered. My question was, "Why do I have chronic neck and shoulder pain?" I have had this pain since I was about 11 years old. I have been going to chiropractors since I was in my early twenties to alleviate this pain, which never really goes away. Of course there were several car accidents that might explain why I have this back pain but I was curious to know if this was related to a past life. Dr. Weiss firmly believes that if we can trace a current issue to a past life that issue can be healed. Well I think does work for some people, but it is not as simple as it sounds. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I had my doubts about being able to be hypnotized. I remember watching one of Oprah's old shows where an entire audience was hypnotized. I thought, come on really? How can a whole group of people be hypnotized at once? I just didn't get it. That's why I wanted to try it myself. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">The night before my appointment I couldn't sleep. I was nervous. What if it didn't work? </span></span>I already knew that I was an <a href="http://www.michaelteachings.com/soul_age_levels.htm" target="_blank">old soul</a>. I was hoping that this information would help my back problems. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">So I sat on a small couch and closed my eyes and relaxed. I was </span><span style="line-height: 18px;">listening</span><span style="line-height: 18px;"> to her voice, and trying to focus and concentrate. She told me that, as she guided me to relax, my body would feel heavy. But I was totally aware of everything. I could hear the hum of the air condition through the vent. She was telling me to imagine numbers flowing into a cloud, and the more the numbers entered the cloud the darker the cloud got. I was having a hard time with this. I had a hard time picturing the numbers. I really did want to do my best so I focused as much as I could. </span></span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;">You know when you close your eyes and you can see yellow and red though your eyelids? I saw that the whole time. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I remember Dr. Iseman said, let's go to a life that will answer Tina's question. She had me walk down stairs and through doors and then she told me, look at your feet. All of a sudden I could see my feet. I was wearing beige leather sandals. She asked me to look down at my body and tell her what I was wearing. I was wearing a long toga-like dress. And I could see my hair, it was long and dark and curly. In my mind, I was in awe. But I kept my focus because I wanted to know where this led me. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">While hypnotized, I thought I would be able to see like I could in my dreams. But this was different. It was less clear, almost out of focus. But I knew all the answers to her questions! I simply had to think of the question and the answer would pop up! I saw images, almost like pictures. Where a dream is more like a video this was more like a slideshow. But not even like that. She would ask a question and sometimes I would see the image as an answer. </span></span></span><br />

She asked me my name and I told her Maria. I told her I was happy and single and I had a boyfriend--who is my husband in this life (I found this realization amusing even as I said it)! She asked me when was this life and I said 1200 BC. Then all of sudden I was in a dark cave. I felt scared! The emotions were so real and I was panicking. I started crying and she told me I wasn't there anymore and that I am safe now. She told me to rise above the scene and observe what is happening. I was alone in a dark cave and I saw a large animal, a bear. I was trapped! And the bear killed me with several powerful swipes of its paws, including at my neck and right shoulder. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Someone once said that you can't fake emotions. And the emotions I felt were real. And so it proved me that this life was real. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">Dr. Iseman told me to bury this pain so it would not affect me anymore. </span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">Did my back improve after this? I would say that it did but it did not eliminate the pain totally. I still have back pain. And I have identified other past lives that have something to do with this back pain but I won't get into that right now. That's another blog post :)</span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For days after the regression I felt so sad and tired. I felt sad for Maria in that cave and the absolute terror that she felt. I couldn't shake the sadness for days. I felt like I was mourning for her. Eventually these feelings went away. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">Although I have proved to myself that past lives are real, I don't think I will ever be regressed again. The emotions were so overwhelming. There are other ways to remember your past lives via meditations or psychic readings. I have chosen to remember in other ways now. So far I have chronicled 39 past lives. This Saturday I will be going to an all day <a href="http://www.hayhouse.com/brian-l-weiss-m-d-2013-2014-tour" target="_blank">conference</a> led by Dr. Brian Weiss in New York City. I am sure I will remember many more lives to add to my list. </span></span></span><br />
