What is your choice today??

"Vanity is a product of the mind. Happiness is a product of the heart. Mankind, due to pride, vanity, obtains power, money and prestige but in the end it’s all an illusion, the illusion created in this world not in the heavens above. I can tell you now all the illusions of this world will not necessarily bring you the happiness that you strive so much to have. The Happiness only you will feel when a true connection within the heart is made.

True Happiness is waiting for those who can connect, receiving power from Above. This energy itself is already an example of the immense happiness that a human can achieve. God’s pure unconditional Love!" -Lidia Frederico
*****

From Mei: I have noticed as of late, that a lot of young people on my page have been wondering when "true love" will come into their life.. I feel the pull to make mention of a few things and my hope is that you the reader, can take this to heart when considering a want of a relationship...

These are things that I share with my own children... My initial rudimentary impression is that first and foremost, that a person needs to feel good about themselves to begin with.. You must understand that looks are not everything. Whether it be with yourself, or another person. You are *never* too fat, too thin, too tall, too short, or too imperfect..

If the person you love does not respect nor love you at your worst, he or she does not deserve you at your best. Think about this!

You must never loose sight of yourself in a relationship. It starts with you first. Be happy with yourself first. You must understand that there are a lot of frogs to kiss first before you find your "prince" or "princess".. And out of those "frogs" are learnings of how and what you want and or need within a true relationship. All relationships, whether the out come is "good or bad" are learning processes. However, a true relationship will *never* ask you to be someone or something you arent. You should never change for another person, if there is change, it is change within yourself and for you. Never change for another being.

At the other end of the scale.. Never assume that you can change the other person. You will never be able to change another person no matter how hard you try. So the ones that happen into a "bad" relationship and stay because they keep hope that that they can "change" the other person, rethink your thought process. Remember, you can only change yourself. You can help another only when they want help. If they do not want help, or change, they will eventually resent you.

Sparkle unto yourself always! Respet your body and your mind!! If you do not respect your own body and your own mind, no one else will either. Use your mind to completely think things through before you do anything with your body first. Infatuations are just that, infatuation.. It will eventually fade.. When it does fade, who are you left with??

Anger is most always misplaced hurt.

When you find yourself angry at another, examine why you are angry not only with the action of the other person, but why it resonates with you to begin with. Quite normally, when we judge others, we are judging ourselfs. This is a common natural human law. Usually if you are judging another, there is something within you that you are not happy with that you find fault in another person. Again, I repeat, it all begins with you.

I have to go back to the "infatuation" comment briefly. People who base who they are, by what they look like, please remember, that looks also fade within time. The beauty of you must and always should start inside. If you are beautiful on the inside, you will remain beautiful on the outside. But if you are basing your looks as beauty, and your inside is ugly, you will always remain "ugly" until you change your thought process. But along the way, be beautiful for yourself! Not for others! This is where unconditional love starts. Love yourself unconditionally, and you will find love unconditionally. If you put wealth of happiness based on looks, you will *always* be disapointed.

Weath... Be weathy unto you. Do no base happiness on the material items you possess.. If you can not share material items, material items will own you. No one cares if you have a the fastest car, the biggest flat screen tv, the grand house, the name brand shirt you own. What people care about is what you are like on the inside. Always share.

If you possess jealousy unto another for the things that they have vs the things that you have, you will never be truly happy and always trying to please others for the sake of the grandular material items. When a person dies, no one remembers what they have owned. They remember what a person did, how they lived their life, and how kind and or generous they were.

Again on the opposite sale, if you are mean, irritable, grouchy, or rude... That too, will be remembered.

Watch your thoughts. Thoughts become things. If you are constantly at battle with another, and continue to fight with others and can not turn the other cheek for the sake of your own pride, please re-think your thought process. If you can not turn the other cheek, and walk away, then you are part of the problem and are not making progress to help the situation

Never be too thin skinned. People can be mean. Period. Some can be so self absorbed and indignant that they can not see beyond the scope of their own noses. These are the people that we should love and leave. Do not accept this behavior, do not be part of the problem, do not be an enabler. Remember your own values, ethics and be your own morals.

Dont be a "hater"... Again.. I repeat all over again.. It begins and ends with you. If you put out "hate", "hate" will find you back. It is the threefold effect of life. If you are miserable, you will find misery, if you are sad, you will find sadness. If you are angry, you will find anger. Remember, it cycles, but it starts with you. It can end with you as well. We all have choices. Choose the best ones.

Relationships are *never* easy. We all make mistakes. It is inevitable. Remember forgiveness. Be kind to one another.

You can and will find the relationship of your dreams eventually. Take little baby steps to get there. Remember beauty fades, you can not take material items with you when you die and that you must start by loving yourself first. Do not loose sight of yourself, your being, within a relationship, start by being good to you. Love others for who they are, not by what they might represent in life. And lastly, always remember and never forget.. We are human.. Forgive yourself and others for the mistakes that happen along the way. Today is just for today. You will never have this moment back. The mistakes you make now may haunt you later. Enjoy life and all who are in it with you. If you can not, then make a conscious choice to revise and edit.

Remember that we all possess free will and choice...

Count your blessings..

Love the people around you. Dont be beautiful because you want something, be beautiful because you can...

Always it starts and ends with you... What is your choice today??

Therapeutic......

"Am I doing the right thing?" -- "Am I on the right path?" --

I know Ive touched on this before, but I want to touch on it once again because it truly is two of the most asked questions I get...

Please let me reiterate again with everyone... YES... Yes you're on the correct path and yes you're doing the right thing. Let me explain...

It is absolutely natural to ask or wonder about these things. Its a sign of what I would call ... Soul Awakening.

I find usually when people ask me this that there is some anxiety around them.. There is insecurity going on inside... They are feeling less than perfect.

People you are all MORE than perfect. But understanding this or seeing it for yourself is extremely hard at times for the situations or feelings that you are experiencing or things that you are going through right at this exact point in time in your life..

Let me also include that this negative stuff is not going to last forever... That things, people and situations change and evolve.. That this contention will not be your, "Forever After"..

Trust me...

What you're feeling is a lesson... A emotional life lesson...

Empathetically I can tell you that I know first hand that its not easy. I know first hand what it feels like to "feel less than perfect"... These demons come and go for all of us, and anyone who tells you anything different is a liar...

So what do we do to get past it??

By taking baby steps.. Changing your brains hard wiring...

Some people can do this very easily and can turn upside down, into right side up without a blink of an eye...

But for the rest of us..

Its baby steps..

I can tell you that meditation and positive affirmation and always looking upstream towards your best and highest good is the ticket.. Is the way to go.. But its more than that...

Its BELIEVING in yourself... And giving yourself HOPE... Being KIND to yourself and FORGIVING your errors and TRUSTING in yourself, your guides and in your GREATNESS...

To realise that yes, you are perfect.. Even with all your errors and indiscretions, you are perfect...

That yes, it may be horrid right now.. But that no, it wont stay like this forever and ever..

When you're feeling the worst.. When you're the most alone.. In the deep shadows of your sleepless nights.. Grab onto hope... Cry a tear or two.. Its OK...

You are worthwhile.. You are valuable..

All of us at one point or the other go through challenges.. Each of us have our own vices... And why?? Why do we do this to ourselves over and over again? How do we change this spiral of lost-ness??

It starts with the understanding that you're not alone. It starts with strength.. The strength that you think you dont have?? You have the strength... Yes you do.. Deep down inside you do..

Its called Self Perseverance.

Its also called Grounding.

Its also called Determination.

Are you on the right path?

Damn skippy you are... If you werent you wouldnt be asking this of yourself..

"A derailed person never seeks truth, never questions, never searches for spirituality, and never searches for their inner self." -- Sylvia Browne

First there is a substantial connection between what goes on inside and outside of our heads... The second part is that most of us have limited intellectual ability to understand our own greatness...

That is the basis of this post.. To try and give you more insight to what is happening and why and how to get around, through or forward..

I am trying to give a positive answer for the positive version of the question, your questions.. A small explanation for the existence of virtue, hope, desire and understanding the calamity..

Yes, you are perfect... And being on "The Right Path" doesnt mean that you're supposed to be doing some great life changing event or shifting huge patterns for all of humanity. It means you are to be the best you can be, to allow your soul's light to become the major part of your life and to achieve balance..

This balance of perspective, the mastery of the relationship that begins with you, your being and yourself...

Let me end now with this one last quote...

“One who feels within, after several attempts, that one’s soul is in peace only when engaging in the secrets, should know for certain that this is what one has been made for. Let no preventions—corporeal or spiritual—stop one from running to the source of one’s life and true wholeness.”—Rabbi Abraham Yitzhak HaCohen Kook (1865—1935), Orot Kodesh, Kabbalah

Symptoms of Spiritual Awakening

Since its been so long since I wrote anything I wanted to share something that I found just recently.

Its long, but a great read and I couldnt have worded this any better! Please scroll down to read

*~Meichelle

Symptoms of Spiritual Awakening


1 Changing sleep patterns: restlessness, hot feet, waking up two or three times a night. Feeling tired after you wake up and sleepy off and on during the day. There is something called the Triad Sleep Pattern that occurs for many: you sleep for about 2-3 hours, wake up, go back to sleep for another couple of hours, wake again, and go back to sleep again. For others, the sleep requirements have changed. You can get by on less sleep. Lately I have been experiencing huge waves of energy running into my body from the crown. It feels good, but it keeps me awake for a long time, then subsides.



Advice: Get used to it. Make peace with it and don't worry about getting enough sleep (which often causes more insomnia). You will be able to make it through the day if you hold thoughts of getting just what you need. You can also request your Higher Power to give you a break now and then and give you a good, deep night's sleep. If you can't go back to sleep right away, use the waking moments to meditate, read poetry, write in your journal or look at the moon. Your body will adjust to the new pattern.

2 Activity at the crown of the head: Tingling, itching, prickly, crawling sensations along the scalp and/or down the spine. A sense of energy vibrating on top of the head, as if energy is erupting from the head in a shower. Also the sensation of energy pouring in through the crown, described as "sprinkles". This may also be experienced as pressure on the crown, as if someone is pushing his/her finger into the center of your head. As I mentioned in #1, I have been experiencing huge downloads of energy through the crown. In the past, I have felt more generalized pressure, as if my head is in a gentle vise. One man related that his hair stood on end and his body was covered with goosebumps.



Advice: This is nothing to be alarmed about. What you are experiencing is an opening of the crown chakra. The sensations mean that you are opening up to receive divine energy.



3 Sudden waves of emotion. Crying at the drop of a hat. Feeling suddenly angry or sad with little provocation. Or inexplicably depressed. Then very happy. Emotional roller coaster. There is often a pressure or sense of emotions congested in the heart chakra (the middle of the chest). This is not to be confused with the heart, which is located to the left of the heart chakra.



Advice: Accept your feelings as they come up and let them go. Go directly to your heart chakra and feel the emotion. Expand it outward to all your fields and breathe deeply from the belly all the way up to your upper chest. Just feel the feeling and let it evaporate on its own. Don't direct the emotions at anyone. You are cleaning out your past. If you want some help with this, say out loud that you intend to release all these old issues and ask your Higher Power to help you. You can also ask Grace Elohim to help you release with ease and gentleness. Be grateful that your body is releasing these emotions and not holding onto them inside where they can do harm. One source suggests that depression is linked to letting go of relationships to people, work, etc. that no longer match us and our frequencies. When we feel guilty about letting go of these relationships, depression helps us medicate that pain.



4 Old "stuff" seems to be coming up, as described above, and the people with whom you need to work it out (or their clones) appear in your life. Completion issues. Or perhaps you need to work through issues of self-worth, abundance, creativity, addictions, etc. The resources or people you need to help you move through these issues start to appear.



Advice: Same as #3. Additionally, don't get too involved in analyzing these issues. Examining them too much will simply cycle you back through them over and over again at deeper and deeper levels. Get professional help if you need to and walk through it. Do not try to avoid them or disassociate yourself from them. Embrace whatever comes up and thank it for helping you move ahead. Thank your Higher Power for giving you the opportunity to release these issues. Remember, you don't want these issues to stay stuck in your body.



5 Changes in weight. The weight gain in the US population is phenomenal. Other people may be losing weight. We often gain weight because many fears we have suppressed are now coming up to the surface to be healed. We react by building up a defense. We also attempt to ground ourselves or provide bulk against increasing frequencies in our bodies.



Advice: Don't freak out, but just accept it as a symptom of where you are right now. You will release/gain the weight when all your fears have been integrated. Release your anxiety about this. Then you might find it easier to lose/gain the weight eventually. Exercise, and before eating, try this: Sit at the table with an attractive place setting. Light a candle. Enjoy how the food looks. Place your dominant hand over your heart and bless the food. Tell your body that you are going to use the food to richly nourish it, but that you are not going to use the food to fulfill your emotional hungers. Then pass your hand from left to right over the food and bless it. You may notice that the food feels warm to your hand even if the food is cold-- I like to think that the food is good for me when it feels warm and nourishing to my hand. I have also noticed that when I practice blessing the food, I don't eat as much. It is important not to let yourself off the hook when you forget to bless the food before you eat. If I've forgotten and I've nearly finished eating, I bless the food anyway. That way I don't slip out of the habit. Another thing you can do is to stay present while eating -- don't watch TV or read. Heartily enjoy what blessings are before you.



6 Changes in eating habits: Strange cravings and odd food choices. Some find they are not as hungry as they used to be. Or hungrier.



Advice: Don't deny what your body tells you it needs. If you are not sure, you might try muscle-testing before you chose a food to see if it's what your body wants. Also try blessing the food as described in #5.



7 Food intolerances, allergies you never had before: As you grow more spiritual, you are more sensitive to everything around you. Your body will tell you what it can no longer tolerate, as if it, too, is sloughing off what doesn't serve it anymore. You might be cleansing yourself of toxins. Some people find they often have a white residue in their mouth, much like that of runners at the end of a race.



Advice: An acupuncturist told me that this film can be removed by sloshing 2 tablespoons of cold-pressed olive oil in your mouth for 10-15 minutes (don't swallow, whatever you do), then spitting it out into the toilet -- not the sink, for you just removed toxins from your body and don't want them in the sink. Brush your teeth and do the same. Then clean your brush. (Sorry this is yukky, but it works.)



8 Amplification of the senses. Increased sensitivity.



8a. Sight: Blurry vision, shimmering objects, seeing glittery particles, auras around people, plants, animals, and objects. Some report seeing formerly opaque objects as transparent. When you close your eyes, you no longer see darkness, but a redness. You may also see geometric shapes or brilliant colors and pictures when eyes are closed. Colors appear more vivid -- the sky might look teal or the grass an amazing green. Often I see grids running across the ground. As you become more sensitive, you may see shapes or outlines in the air, especially when the room is almost dark. When your eyes are open or closed, you may see white shapes in your peripheral vision (these are your guides).



Advice: Your vision is changing in many ways -- you are experiencing new ways of seeing. Be patient. Whatever you do, do not be afraid. Hazy vision may be relieved by yawning.



8b. Hearing: Increased or decreased hearing. I once thought I would have to pull off the road because of the painfully amplified sound of my tires on the freeway. Other symptoms are hearing white noise in the head, beeps, tones, music or electronic patterns. Some hear water rushing, bees buzzing, whooshing, roaring or ringing. Others have what is called audio dyslexia-- you can't always make out what people are saying, as if you can no longer translate your own language. Some hear strange voices in their dreams, as if someone is hovering near them. You can either ask the presence(s) to leave or ask Archangel Michael to take care of the situation. Again, there is nothing to fear.



Advice: Surrender to it. Let it come through. Listen. Your ears are adjusting to new frequencies.



8c. Enhanced senses of smell, touch, and/or taste. I notice I can now smell and taste chemical additives in some foods in a rather unpleasant manner. Other food may taste absolutely wonderful. For some people, these enhancements are both delightful and distracting. You might even smell the fragrance of flowers now and then. Many of the mystics did. Enjoy it.



9 Skin eruptions: Rashes, bumps, acne, hives, and shingles. Anger produces outbreaks around the mouth and chin. I had a dermatitis on my extremities for several months that accompanied healing an episode from my past. When I had worked through most of the issue, the condition was released.



Advice: You may be sloughing off toxins and bringing emotions to the surface. When there is an issue to be released and you are trying to repress it, your skin will express the issue for you until you process the emotions. Work through your "stuff".



10 Episodes of intense energy which make you want to leap out of bed and into action. Followed by periods of lethargy and fatigue. The fatigue usually follows great shifts. This is a time of integration, so give into it.

Advice: Roll with the nature of the energy. Don't fight it. Be gentle with yourself. Take naps if you are tired. Write your novel if you are too energized to sleep. Take advantage of the type of energy.



11 Changes in prayer or meditation. Not feeling the same sensations as before. Not having the same experience of being in contact with Spirit.

Difficulty in focusing.



Advice: You may be in more instant and constant communion with Spirit now and the sensation may therefore be altered. You will adapt to this new feeling. You are actually thinking acting in partnership with Spirit most of the time now. You may find your meditation periods shorter.



12 Power surges: All of a sudden you are heated from head to toe. It is a momentary sensation, but uncomfortable. In contrast, some people have felt inexplicably cold. I have experienced both. More recently I experience waves or currents of energy rolling through me. Sometimes the energy seems so intense when it first comes into my body that I feel a little nauseated. But if I think of the energy as divine and let go of fear, I feel wonderful and enjoy the sensation. If you are an energy worker, you may have noticed that the heat running through your hands has increased tremendously. This is good.



Advice: If you are uncomfortable, ask your Higher Power, that if it be for your best and highest good, to turn down/up the temperature a bit.



13 A range of physical manifestations: Headaches, backaches, neck pains, flu-like symptoms (this is called vibrational flu), digestive problems, muscular spasms or cramps, racing heartbeat, chest pains, changes in sexual desire, numbness or pain in the limbs, and involuntary vocalizations or bodily movements. Some of us have even had old conditions from childhood reappear briefly for healing.



Advice: Remember what I said about seeking medical help if you need it! If you have determined that this is not a medical condition, relax in the realization that it is only temporary.



14 Looking younger. Yippee! As you clear emotional issues and release limiting beliefs and heavy baggage from the past, you are actually lighter.

Your frequency is higher. You love yourself and life more. You begin to resemble the perfect you that you really are.



15 Vivid dreams. Sometimes the dreams are so real that you wake up confused. You may even have lucid dreams in which you are in control. Many dreams may be mystical or carry messages for you. And in some dreams, you just know that you are not "dreaming" -- that what is happening is somehow real.



Advice: You will remember what is important for you to remember. Don't force anything. Above all, stay out of fear.



16 Events that completely alter your life: death, divorce, change in job status, loss of home, illness, and/or other catastrophes -- sometimes several at once! Forces that cause you to slow down, simplify, change, re-examine who you are and what your life means to you. Forces that you cannot ignore. Forces that cause you release your attachments. Forces that awaken your sense of love and compassion for all.



17 A desire to break free from restrictive patterns, life-draining jobs consumptive lifestyles, and toxic people or situations. You feel a compelling need to "find yourself" and your life purpose -- now! You want to be creative and free to be who you really are. You might find yourself drawn to the arts and nature. You want to unclutter yourself from things and people that no longer serve you.



Advice: Do it!



18 Emotional and mental confusion: A feeling that you need to get your life straightened out--it feels like a mess. But at the same time you feel chaotic and unable to focus. See #45.



Advice: Put your ear to your heart and your own discernment will follow.



19 Introspection, solitude and loss of interest in more extraverted activities: This stage has come as a surprise to many extraverts who formerly saw themselves as outgoing and involved. They say, "I don't know why, but I don't like to go out as much as before."

20 Creativity bursts: Receiving images, ideas, music, and other creative inspirations at an often overwhelming rate.



Advice: At least record these inspirations, for Spirit is speaking to you about how you might fulfill your purpose and contribute to the healing of the planet.



21 A perception that time is accelerating. It seems that way because you have had so many changes introduced into your life at an unprecedented rate. The number of changes seems to be growing.



Advice: Breaking your day up into appointments and time segments increases the sense of acceleration .You can slow time down by relaxing into the present moment and paying attention to what's at hand, not anticipating what's ahead. Slow down and tell yourself that you have plenty of time. Ask your Higher Power to help you. Keep your focus on the present. Try to flow from one activity to the next. Stay tuned to your inner guidance. You can also warp time by asking for it. Next time you feel rushed, say, "Time warp, please. I need some more time to -----." Then relax.



22 A sense of impendingness. There is a feeling that something is about to happen. This can create anxiety.



Advice: There is nothing to worry about. Things are definitely happening, but anxiety only creates more problems for you. All your thoughts -- positive or negative-- are prayers. There is nothing to fear.



23 Impatience. You know better, but sometimes you can't help it. You want to get on with what seems to be coming your way. Uncertainty is not comfortable.



Advice: Learn to live with the uncertainty, knowing that nothing comes to you until you are ready. Impatience is really a lack of trust, especially trust in your Higher Power. When you focus on the present, you will experience miracles -- yes, even in traffic.



24 A deep yearning for meaning, purpose, spiritual connection, and revelation. Perhaps an interest in the spiritual for the first time in your life. "Constant craving", as k.d. lang says. The material world cannot fulfill this longing.



Advice: Follow your heart and the way will open up for you.



25 A feeling that you are somehow different. A disquieting sense that everything in your life feels new and altered, that you have left your old self behind. You have. You are much greater than you can possibly imagine. There is more to come.



26 "Teachers" appear everywhere with perfect timing to help you on your spiritual journey: people, books, movies, events, Mother Nature, etc.

Teachers may appear to be negative or positive when you are trapped in polarity thinking, but, from a transcendent perspective, they are always perfect. Just what you need to learn from and move on. By the way, we never get more than we are ready to master. Each challenge presents us with an opportunity to show our mastery in passing through it.



27 You find a spiritual track that makes sense to you and "speaks to you" at the most profound levels. Suddenly you are gaining a perspective that you would never have considered before. You hunger to know more. You read, share with others, ask questions, and go inside to discover more about who you are and why you are here.



28 You are moving through learning and personal issues at a rapid pace. You sense that you are "getting it" quite readily.



Advice: Keep remembering that things will come to you when they are ready to be healed. Not sooner. Deal with whatever comes up with courage and you will move through the issues rapidly.



29 Invisible presences. Here is the woo-woo stuff. Some people report feeling surrounded by beings at night or having the sensation of being touched or talked to. Often they will wake with a start. Some also feel their body or bed vibrate. The vibrations are caused by energetic changes after emotional clearing has taken place.



Advice: This is a sensitive topic, but you may feel better blessing your bed and space around it before you sleep. I rest assured that I am surrounded only by the most magnificent spiritual entities and am always safe in God's care. Sometimes, however, the fear gets to me, and I call in Archangel Michael and/or Archangel Uriel. I don't beat myself up for being afraid sometimes.



30 Portents, visions, "illusions", numbers, and symbols: Seeing things that have spiritual importance for you. Noticing how numbers appear synchronistically in your awareness. Everything has a message if you take the time to look. I enjoy the experience of "getting the messages." What fun!



31 Increased integrity: You realize that it is time for you to seek and speak your truth. It suddenly seems important for you to become more authentic, more yourself. You may have to say "no" to people whom you have tried to please in the past. You may find it intolerable to stay in a marriage or job or place that doesn't support who you are. You may also find there is nowhere to hide, no secrets to keep anymore. Honesty becomes important in all your relationships.



Advice: Listen to your heart. If your guidance tells you not to do something, speak up and take action. Say "no". Likewise, you must also say "yes" to that which compels you. You must risk displeasing others without guilt in order to attain spiritual sovereignty.



32 Harmony with seasons and cycles: You are becoming more tuned to the seasons, the phases of the moon and natural cycles. More awareness of your place in the natural world. A stronger connection to the earth.



33 Electrical and mechanical malfunctions: When you are around, lightbulbs flicker, the computer locks up, or the radio goes haywire.



Advice: Call on your angels, guides, or Grace Elohim to fix it or put up a field of protection of light around the machine. Surround your car with blue light. Laugh.



34 Increased synchronicity and many small miracles. Look for more of these.



Advice: Synchronistic events tell you if you are heading in the right direction or making the correct choices. Honor these clues and you cannot go astray. Spirit uses synchronicity to communicate to you. That's when you begin to experience daily miracles. See #30.



35 Increased intuitive abilities and altered states of consciousness:

Thinking of someone and immediately hearing from them. More synchronicities. Having sudden insights about patterns or events from the past. Clairvoyance, out-of-body experiences, and other psychic phenomena. Intensified sensitivity and knowing. Awareness of one's essence and that of others. Channeling angelic and Christ-consciousness energies.



36 Communication with Spirit. Contact with angels, spirit guides, and other divine entities. Channeling. More and more people seem to be given this opportunity. Feeling inspiration and downloading information that takes form as writing, painting, ideas, communications, dance, etc.



37 A sense of Oneness with all. A direct experience of this Wholeness.

Transcendent awareness. Being flooded with compassion and love for all life. Compassionate detachment or unconditional love for all is what lifts us up to higher levels of consciousness and joy.



38 Moments of joy and bliss. A deep abiding sense of peace and knowing that you are never alone.



39 Integration: You become emotionally, psychologically, physically, and spiritually stronger and clearer. You feel as if you are in alignment with your Higher Self.



40 Living your purpose: You know you are finally doing what you came to earth for. New skills and gifts are emerging, especially healing ones. Your life/work experiences are now converging and starting to make sense. You are finally going to use them all.



Advice: Listen to your heart. Your passion leads you to where you must go. Go within and ask your Higher Power, "What is it you would have me do?" Watch for synchronicities. Listen.



41 Feeling closer to animals and plants. To some people, animals now seem to be more "human" in their behavior. Wild animals are less afraid. Plants respond to your love and attention more than ever. Some may even have messages for you.



42 Seeing beings of other dimensions. The veil between dimensions is thinner, so it is not surprising. Just stay in your sovereignty. You are more powerful than you can ever imagine, so do not entertain fear. Ask your guides for help if you slip into fear.



43 Seeing a person's true form or seeing loved ones with a different face -- past life or parallel life.



44 Physically manifesting thoughts and desires more quickly and efficiently.



Advice: Monitor your thoughts. All thoughts are prayers. Be careful what you ask for.



45 Left -brain fogginess. Your psychic abilities, your intuitive knowing, your feeling and compassion, your ability to experience your body, your visioning, your expressiveness all emanate from the right brain. In order for this side of the brain to develop more fully, the left brain must shut down a little bit. Normally the left-hemisphere's capacity for order, organization, structure, linear sequencing, analysis, evaluation, precision, focus, problem-solving, and mathematics dominate our often less-valued right brain. What results are memory lapses, placing words in the wrong sequence, inability or no desire to read for very long, inability to focus; forgetting what you are just about to say; impatience with linear forms of communication (audio or written formats); a feeling of spaciness, being scattered; losing interest in research or complex information; feeling bombarded with words and talk and information; and a reluctance to write. Sometimes you feel dull and have no interest in analysis, lively intellectual discussion, or investigation. On the other hand, you might find yourself drawn to the sensate: videos, magazines with photos, beautiful artwork, movies, music, sculpting, painting, being with people, dancing, gardening, walking, and other kinesthetic forms of expression. You may search for spiritual content, even science fiction.



Advice: You may discover that if you allow your heart and your right brain to lead you, the left will then be activated appropriately to support you.

And someday we will be well-balanced, using both hemispheres with mastery.



46 Dizziness. This occurs when you are ungrounded. Perhaps you have just cleared a big emotional issue and your body is adjusting to your "lighter"

state.



Advice: Ground yourself by eating protein. Sometimes "comfort food" feels right. Don't make any food right or wrong for you. Use your guidance to know what you need at any given moment. Take your shoes off and put your feet in the grass for a couple of minutes.



47 Falling, having accidents, breaking bones. Your body is not grounded or perhaps your life is out of balance. Or your body may be telling you to slow down, examine certain aspects of your life, or heal certain issues. There is always a message. When I recently broke my ankle, I understand that my ankle was taking on what I myself refused to deal with. And that was all of the above.



Advice: Stay grounded by taking your shoes off and putting your feet in the grass; even better, lie down on the grass without a blanket under you. Feel the earth beneath you. Get out in nature. Slow down and pay attention. Be mindful about what you are doing. Feel your feelings when they come up. Stay in the present. Surround yourself with blue light when you are feeling shaky.



49 Heart palpitations. A racing heart usually accompanies a heart opening. It only lasts for a few moments and means that the heart is re-balancing itself after an emotional release. I had one episode that terrified me: I woke up in the middle of the night, my heart pounding. I thought it was going to come right out of my chest. It only happened once and was, I understand, a huge heart-chakra opening. But I did check it out. There is nothing wrong with my heart.



Advice: Remember what I said about getting medical attention when needed. Consult your doctor about any conditions you are not comfortable with.



50 Faster hair and nail growth. More protein is being used in the body. Too bad we can't tell the body where to grow the hair and where not to grow it. (Or can we? Hmmm.)



51 A desire to find your soulmate or twin flame. More than ever before, the idea that we can have a relationship that matches who we are seems more desirable.



Advice: The truth is, we have to be the kind of person we want to attract.

We have to love ourselves and where we are right now before we can attract a more "perfect" mate. The work begins at home.

Here is how I think it works:

Hold the desire for this person in your heart, but without attachment. Expect that someday you will meet someone who is more suited to you, but let go of any expectations as to who this will be and how it will happen. Focus instead on cleaning up your own life and being the kind of person you want to be. Be happy now. Enjoy your life. Then you may see.....



52 Memories surface. Body memories, suppressed memories, images of past lives and/or parallel lives. We are healing and integrating all our "selves", so expect to have some of these experiences.



Advice: Keep in mind that it is best to recall what only what comes to mind, leave the rest alone, don't analyze everything to death (because you will be stuck in the tape loop of infinite issues to process), and feel your feelings as they come up. Ask for help from your guides.

Opening Up Awareness...

In my open forum discussion on FaceBook, someone asked how to open their abilities more.. Since this is not the first time I've been asked this, I'm going to try and explain a little bit more here.

In my experience, there is more to opening up your awareness than just sitting for hours on end meditating... What also goes into opening up awareness... (to one who is trying to learn to open up and is who was not born with the natural ability to do so at will... Or to someone who has been born with the natural ability, and wants to focus/fine tune it better)... has a lot to do also with Study...

I literally have hundreds of books on many many different topics, mostly to keep myself fresh.. And quite honestly.. To keep me learning... Remember, this is a learning experience we are having here. Never stop learning... Be the sponge.. Become the student.. And stay the student, always...

Keep in mind also.. That this is not something that you just learn and then drop once you "get it"... Study also keeps your mind and heart open and exploring.. It brings also new idea's and new ways of looking at other things that work for other people.. Study keeps you sharp...

I answered this person too on her question with something that I do nearly every day... Calm... Relaxation.. Rest.. Meditation, yes... But if you're constantly watching the news, or your life is filled with drama, drama, drama, then your thoughts and hard wires, start to become scrambled.. Never forget, that we are in essence, energy.. And energy begets energy.. In my opinion, even watching the news on a daily basis is not good. Watching the news subliminally puts thoughts of negative energy into your mind and plays havoc with it. It is subliminal.. Some tv shows too are the same way... I rarely watch tv and most oftentimes listen to music.. Mostly calm music to keep my mind calm and open.. Im not saying that this is the ticket.. Im saying this is what works for me.. For me, calm soft music works, for someone else, maybe another type of music works for them... Remember, there is no wrong way of doing things.... Take what works for you, and leave the rest behind..

Also.. Do not try to force things along... Forcing things usually leads to doubt.. Dont force, dont doubt.. If you see something in a meditation, take it for what it is.. Be thankful that you're receiving what you are receiving.. Maybe theres no reason whatsoever for what you are receiving, theres always the chance that you're getting what you're getting as validation that yes, this is truly happening.

My friend on Facebook sees symbols in her meditations.. This could very well be validation that yes, she is where she should be while meditating.. This could very well be her "signal" so to speak.. And then again, there could be no rhyme or reason for the symbols at all..

If someone is getting something and it hits home strikingly.. That is when to explore it more... Tho as I just said, it might just mean to "pay attention".. There still could be no rhyme or reason for what you receive...

Also, I want to make mention too.. To be very aware of the signs. People ask The Uppers certain questions and they are answered in signs.. Signs are every where people... When you ask, "Am I loved?" And a bird flys over head, or the sun shines in your face.. Or your eye catches a sparkling snowflake... Those are all signs... You might even notice while driving, the street signs, or the red lights or the arrows... Those are all signs also.. It seems to me, that most people are unaware of the signs that they get every single day. That they dont pay attention to them, and so because of that, they feel their questions go unanswered.. They do not go unanswered.. It is you that are missing the signs that are sent.

Our guides, our angles and The Uppers, can not communicate the same way as you and I do. People also oftentimes forget that these beings, these entities, are yet on another wave length as we are. That they are just above us in the same but not the same realm.. So they send us signs. They send us dreams, they send us answers in many ways, and it is up to us to see them. To be open and aware of them.

So with all that said.. How does one open themselves up to awareness?? By keeping themselves aware to begin with.. To study.. To meditate.. To keep an open mind to their thoughts and others thoughts.. To stay away from negative interactions as best as possible as one can.. ie: Tv, News etc etc... Being around negative people will drain the psyche also.. And some people are much more sensitive than others in that area.. Myself, it is extremely draining to be around negativity for long periods of time.. Stay centered, stay grounded...

And be thankful.. The Uppers love to be thanked for the gifts that they share with us. Just as you like to be recognised for the things that you do, so do they.. So make sure to also include a thank you to your angels and guides for sharing with you.. And let them know also.. That you enjoy being the open radio channel, the receptor.. To be able to help them in their endeavors also.. That you enjoy their company... Rather than constantly asking questions in meditations.. Go now and then... For a visit.. Just to be with them.. And be quiet with them... To enjoy them... As they enjoy you..

Remember... That learning to be aware takes time, practice and patience.. This does not happen over night.. Stay strong on your path..

Ask, and you will receive.. Knock... And the door will be opened to you..

Asalam Alakim my friends...

Mystery Word of the day: Psychic...

After speaking with a few friends the other night, I wanted to touch on the word, "Psychic".. What is this word?

The word, Psychic as described in Websters Dictionary;

psy·chic   /ˈsaɪkɪk/
[sahy-kik]  –adjective Also, psy·chi·cal.


1. of or pertaining to the human soul or mind; mental ( opposed to physical).


2. Psychology . pertaining to or noting mental phenomena.


3. outside of natural or scientific knowledge; spiritual.


4. of or pertaining to some apparently nonphysical force or agency: psychic research; psychic phenomena.


5. sensitive to influences or forces of a nonphysical or supernatural nature.


–noun


6. a person who is allegedly sensitive to psychic influences or forces; medium.


Origin:


1855–60; < Gk psȳchikós of the soul.
 
There are so many thousands of misconceptions when one thinks of the word "psychic". Hollywood has unfortunatly put so much hype into this word that very many people who are related to it dont necessarily care for using the word itself.
 
So what the word psychic means is: "of or pertaining to the human soul or mind; mental" ... What it does not mean: It does not mean that one is under the influence of the devil or any devil related content. It does not mean, "Voodoo". It also does not mean to one who is related to the word.. That they do not believe in God, Jesus or that the Psychic person does not have any religious views. It also does not mean to one that one who is related to the word, Psychic, that they stay in a constant "tuned in" basis constantly. 
 
Hollywood tries to portray the Psychic as this mysterious, non origin person surrounded in unearthy shadowy enigma. When in fact, everyone has this ability to foresee the unexplained. Each and every person on this planet is able to tap, touch or tune into their 6th sense.
 
For many years before the modern age of telephones, computers and gadjets... Everyone had this so called "gift" developed. It wasnt until man became further advanced that this 6th sense more or less fell away. This 6th sense before the modern day was actually a "fight or flight" function. Early humans needed to know when to run, or when to move, they needed to know where food was, where the water was, and how to move away from danger.They needed to know in order to live, when to migrate from the flat lands to the high lands (so to speak).. They had no means of developed tools in this area, and humans possessed more of the animal instinct, that psychic-ness, than what they do today.
 
In todays world, people can and do tap into this very natural ability. Some people are born with it stronger than others however, and some are trained, or taught psychics. However, even to some psychics, this can be a very scary and misunderstood phenomena. Usually this most happens to young people, or children who are told at a very early age, that this is very un natural by their parents or the adults in their lives. Then there are others that have very supporting families, a very strong support system, who are told the exact opposite. They were never made to be afraid of their natural born ability. And those are the ones who most oftentimes become the most gifted.
 
There are others too at times, that might have something traumatic happen in their lives that brings about the ability as they grow older and are "woken up" to their gifts at an older age. This too can be frightening as well.
 
In any event, what Im saying is that there are all sorts of possible ways that one develops this ability.
 
I further want to explain also... That one with the ability of being psychic, is not constantly as a rule.... "Tuned or Tapped" in constantly.
 
I have had myself, people who are on edge around me thinking that if they let their thoughts flow as they normally do... That I'll pick up every tiny little thing that crosses their minds. We are not mind readers. And when a person "closes" themselves off to us, we can not as easily pick up on what is going on around them. When a person does not want to be read, chances are, that they can not be read.
 
Here is another very common question... Can the Psychic still see what is around a person when this happens? When the person is closed, or not wanting to be read??
 
The answer is sometimes yes, sometimes no. Yes, we can if we are in the "mode" (turned into) "feel" what is going on around a person. It depends on if the Psychic is already "tuned in". We can not read the minds of another, but we can or could see/feel the energy around that person. However, a good psychic should know if a person does not want the information that they are receiving. A good psychic should have morals and values around them. And a good psychic does not intrude where they are not wanted. And a good psychic knows also as well that not everyone wants the information that they are getting.
 
It is quite another thing if someone comes to the Psychic asking for information. Myself, I try to always explain to the person in front of me, that they have come to me... That though their consultation is just as private as say, going to see your doctor... That whatever information I may get, what ever energy comes, is what comes. Good or Bad.. And just as they have come to find out the information, that it is my responsibility to give to them, whatever may come.
 
As I also have tried to explain in the past.. There are times when the information just comes. There is no trying, no opening up... The energy just hits where it hits. Quite usually this happens when it is extremely important that the person receives the message. I have learned threw the years also, that if I do not give the message to the person and say I try to ignore it... The energy stays with me for a very long time until I can release it.
 
Those who know me, know that I say I am being "Nagged" if you will. The information simply stays with me until I can give it to the person that needs the information. If for some reason I can not give the information to the person, say the person is a stranger or not open to hearing the information, then I have to "close" the door to it.. This to me feels very unnatural though there has been times that I have to just let it go.
 
When I was young.. I did as young children do, and just blurted out what came to me... Again, threw the years Ive learned not to do that lol... This was a learning thing for me though.. It was not something that I knew in my very early childhood.
 
These are only but a few things that I wanted to jot down today but I do hope that this bit of information was at least some what helpful.
 
No, if you sit next to a Psychic, will they always be able to tap into you. Yes, they can if you want them to by asking them to... And even sometimes not. Let me also say, that once in awhile another phenomena happens and we receive nothing at all from your energy.
 
It quite normally means that we are just as human as the next person. We do not always connect to the energy, we do not always tap into. If there are things that are not meant to be known or known yet..  A psychic will not get the information... It simply just goes to show that yes, as I said.. We're human also. 
 
Also let me quickly explain before I leave for now... That just because a Psychic taps into the information they are getting at the time, does it always mean 100% that they are correct 100%. Just because they see what they see now, does not always mean that the items of events will happen. If you are the seeker looking for answers and say I "feel" that there is an accident on the next corner that you should avoid and I tell you about it... And say perhaps, that you then, do listen to my information and do not cross that corner and the event doesnt happen... It doesnt mean that the Psychic was wrong, it means that some where down the road of things, that the events that were foreseen or felt, were changed, or yet another road was taken.
 
Asalam A'Lakim!
Nameste'
God be With You
and Blessed be!

Attitude - Belief - Consciousness

What people dont quite understand, nor "get" -- Is that it is all in attitude -- What you feel, how you look at things -- Everyone wants a better life, tho they continue to stay in their backpacks.. There is no moving forward when you cant let go of the backward. Grief, dishonesty, loss, anger, sadness, resentment and chaos all begin with you. You are the creator of your consciousness -- Stop what you're doing and not just *think* positive -- BE the positive -- Watch how things greatly improve when you resonate with the power of not only "Now" -- But the emotional feelings of -- I am right where I should be, I can do it, there is always a better tomorrow and a better today! Think, exist, learn, expand and clear your mind of unwanted thought. It doesnt have to be this way forever - But it will be forever until a person realizes that what they are putting out to the Universe is coming back to them three fold -- Its a mind set, a way of knowing and BELIEF - Know in your heart that it is possible, and it will be possible <3 *~Meichelle

One Hot Summer Later...

Hey all!! I know its been an awful long while that I've been able to post, but something significant happened over the summer... I've moved!!

I know!! Hooray hooray for me!! LOL!! Actually, this summer has been one of the most complicated Ive  had in a notably long while. Between all the boxes and dust,( man there was a lot of dust! >.<) There also came to be a union of two families, mine and my boyfriend. Between children and dogs and anxiousness about what to do with what and how to go about doing it, Uhauls and bags... There were also things to fix and clutter to clear and the heat this year was nearly unbearable. Not to mention.. As everyone knows.. Just the emotional upheaval of the entire idea of moving itself....

Some how though.... One big breath later... And a few more gray hairs....We got threw it all!

Yaaaaay us!!

And thank you to the ones who helped to make it happen =) We couldnt have done it without you.. And you know who you are... {{HUGS}}

One thing Ive not been able to do much in all of this zaniness of summer is be more into my Spiritual work ... Thats about to change... Now with school back in session and a bit more time to work again in Spirit, Im fully looking forward to being able to get back with The Uppers...

With that I will be able to post more ... Share more... And of course, learn more myself... How beautiful is that??

Im truly looking forward to the fall... As the colors of the leaves change, so has my surroundings... And with the cool of the day, my mind relaxes and Im once again the signal and the receptor...

Asalam Alakim my friends... I am back...
