I’m sure the title of this may sound a bit odd; “to stay grounded”.  Maybe it brings back childhood memories of doing something wrong and facing consequences like being grounding for your actions.  Well, I’m chuckling a bit as I had my fair share of grounding, but it sure kept me in line, “thanks, Mom and Dad” XOXO.

 

The type of grounding that I am talking about now, is not about punishment and getting sent to your room or sitting in a corner.  This type of grounding is energetical.  It’s a grounding used by our own physical energy as well as the universe and earth energy.

 

Do you ever feel spacey or lightheaded?  Or, have you zoned out and feet lost?  What about grumpy, agitated, a lack of feeling calm and keeping your cool?  Can you relate to any of these?  If you said yes, to anyone of them, then your energetic body may not be flowing and you may be out of alignment and not energetically grounded.

 

If you have experienced any of these feelings/symptoms at times, most people think the worst and start searching the internet looking for answers.  Only, to get searches that have lists and list of illness.   I’m sure you could fit into many illness categories of those online symptom checkers. Well, that’s not fun at all having to worry about something that very well may be as simple as re-grounding yourself. I’m not saying that this should override any medical physician’s advice and if you are not feeling well and that you should not see your physician.  Rather, if you have any of the above it could be that you need re-grounded.

 

Grounding can be very simple to do yourself or if you feel a spiritual mentor would be a better fit then you can do so as well.

 

When you are grounded you feel light and free.  Your thoughts are better processed and mind works more optimally in being able to organize and deal with whatever may arise.  You will also feel more at ease when stressful situations surround you.  Your body, when grounded, works better.  The energetic meridian lines flow which sets up your overall physical body to function properly.  When the meridians are flowing, the energy corresponds to your physical organs and systems that keep them working and functioning the way they should be.   Once people realize, and physically see how great they feel being grounded and go with minimal resistance about everyday life, in time they can differentiate the difference of being grounded and not.

 

Grounding is something that does need to be done time to time.  It just really depends on your lifestyle.

 

So, you wonder why can’t you just ground yourself once and be good to go?  Well like anything, the environment that surrounds us, may it be actions from people, weather, finances, relationship, work, and the list goes on.  Any of these all carry energy and we absorb these energies without knowing from time to time.  In return, it can throw you off and make you feel drained, agitated, irate or any of the other symptoms we discussed earlier.  This is all normal.  But then we need to remember to re-ground ourselves so we are in tip-top top shape.

 

So how can you re-ground yourself you ask?  I will give you a nice and easy, simple example.

 

Take off your shoes and go barefoot outside (if its nice outside) and get those toes in the grass.  Stomp your feet feeing the energy of the earth penetrate your feet and up throughout your body.  Take time to also breathe in the air.  If you really want to get the most out of it, put one hand palm up to the sky and your other hand palm down to the earth.  Then you switch hands and movement going one hand up and one hand down.  When you are at about the heart centre when crossing your hands put your hand in prayer hand mode and then you switch.  So, one hand up and one hand down, taking a deep breath in, now you bring the hands to the centre of the chest or heart and make prayer with your hands taking a deep breath out and then switching the hands.  Do this a few times and notice the lightness within you.  If you can not get outside due to the weather you can do this in the house as well.

If you are inside, you do all the same things.  Taking off your socks and stomping on the floor gently and picturing your feet are connecting with earth and grounding you.  You can do the same arm movements as well.

 

Once your start this practice you can do it as often as you like.  As you get use to it, you may do this every couple of days and then space it out further.  As time passes you will know and feel when you are not grounded and when it will be needed to be done again.  It’s amazing the difference how you will feel emotionally, physically, and mentally when in the state of being balanced and grounded.

Have you ever noticed…

that everyone around you is rushing, carrying on at a frenetic pace? Or they seem frustrated, distracted? Their actions/conversation appear disjointed? Or that you seem to be experiencing similar pressures or feelings?

What do you attribute this to?

The world today? That the pace of change and technology is so rapid, everyone is moving quicker, have shorter attention spans or are more easily irritated than before?

Is there a deeper, underlying cause that you may not be aware of? 

The Earth is undergoing some pretty major energetic shifts these days. Already in 2017, we’ve experienced numerous meteor showers, partial lunar eclipses, and a total solar eclipse. Look at all the various weather changes, events and shifting landscapes.

There is more than what the eye can see.

As human beings, we are made up of energy, so of course we respond to the unseen energy of the Earth and all its shifts. We can’t not be affected by the energetic changes taking place on the planet.

It can affect us emotionally and physically.

For some of us, the result is irritability, frustration, or short-temperedness. For others is might be distraction, little or no attention span or the need to rush. Physically, it can make us dizzy, achy or inexplicably tired.

What do we do?

Be aware of that what you’re experiencing could be the result of something outside yourself and your daily life. Don’t judge yourself. Don’t judge others when you find them to be in a less than optimal state of mind, body or spirit. Accept what is happening as out of your control. Go with the flow. Pay attention to the people you surround yourself with.

Ask yourself what you might do to feel better.

Do you need to remove yourself from certain situations, conversations, attitudes? Do you need to drink more water to hydrate and cleanse your body? Do you need a nap? Do you need to ground yourself? Do you need to meditate? Exercise?

Remember this won’t last forever.

Yes, we respond to unseen energetic shifts. There is no avoiding it. But we can learn to ride them rather than fight them – go with the flow. That perception goes a long way to alleviating the worry around what is happening. And the shifts only last for certain periods of time. You will soon find yourself returning to equilibrium again. It may be a new equilibrium, but you will feel in balance again.

The curiosity and function of the brain is one that no neuroscientists will be able to fully explain or comprehend the ability it possesses.

The brain is an amazing part of us all and that includes animals as well.  It should never be underestimated or taken granted of.

The mind, when in focus can handle the deepest of pain and shift from depression to euphoria in a split second.  It’s something that we can control but with dedication and focus.

Meditation is a great way of helping understand how you can shift your thoughts and how to do it on demand.

When you can hold that focus, there are many things the mind is capable of.  As noted earlier I had mentioned you can control pain and emotion, but you can also do more fun things.

Ever hear of out of body experiences?

I’m sure you have from tv shows and people talking about near-death experiences.

It is when the spirit of your body leaves your vessel (body) and is attached by the silver cord still so it can come back in when done.  You can see yourself in whichever state you left it.  So, let’s use surgery for an example as most are familiar with hearing these stories.

Several people that have had surgery report having an out of body experience while under anesthetic.  They can see themselves lying on the table and see and hear what all the Doctors are saying and doing.  They have even traveled to the waiting rooms and homes and have seen the reaction of family and friends.

Is it safe?  Yep, it is.  But you need to be in a good frame of mind with the clear intention knowing that you are safe and will return to your vessel (body) safely after your little journey.

If you ever have this experience, it’s always fun to recite what you saw and heard to the individuals involved.  Now that will blow their mind!!

 

Phones ring, alerts beep to let us know of a new message coming through.  Kids at play or crying and dogs barking.  Driving in the city you hear sirens, horns honking, truck accelerating and motorcycles taking wind.

We all seem to be attuned to these sounds, yet we still take note of them.  To some, we may be so curious as to look and see where and what direction the sound is coming from.

The point of this all is that we take note and sometimes act on it.  We follow up with what’s going on with that noise, especially if there is a fire truck in action.  It’s like our adrenaline kicks in when we hear the sirens and our minds start to wondering of what could be happening.   Even hearing a motorcycle, some turn to see the speed, type of bike it is and even who is riding it.

So, when we are given signs from our Spirit Guides; why don’t we follow or listen to them?

If you are not familiar with a Spirit Guide; it is a helping Spirit that we all have from birth that helps us out in life along our journey by guiding us and helping with our specific purpose.  Now, this is a short explanation but there are more specific blogs in the blog page directory if you wish more clarification.

Back to our Guides or Spirit Guides.  They are there for us along our journey and they leave us hints along the way.  Why would they leave hints for us?  Well, a few examples are; If you’re looking for a change in career or a new job, trying to make a decision big or small or have questions you need to be answered.  Our Guides are there for us leaving messages to help us along our journey.

They will keep leaving these clues to try and grab your attention.  Some may be as subtle as an ad on a Tv or in a magazine.

Ever see a truck with a familiar name on it, a street sign or licence plate that you find a coincidence with what it says?

These are all simple signs usually from your Guide to help you along the way.  Helping you find clarification, guidance, and answers that you’re looking for.

So next time you stumble across subtle signs that keep showing up all over the place take note and put the puzzle pieces together.  And remember to give thanks for the love and support that is always there.

 

 

Do you ever see repeating numbers or patterns of numbers?

This is Spirit communicating with you! It isn’t random at all. In fact, it is very deliberate. And all these numbers have meanings. Kind of like a coded message, especially for you.

110110

This combo of numbers is what Spirit has been showing me lately. This picture is from my car odometer last week. I was driving and had the nudge to look at my odometer and there it was. And it wasn’t the first or last time that Spirit has been showing me these numbers recently. I’ve been woken up at 1:10 a.m. quite a few times over the last two weeks. And random glances at my stove clock has shown me 11:00 a.m. or 1:11 p.m. I opened my iPad the other night and there it was – 10:11 p.m.

What is Spirit telling me with 1s and 0s?

Briefly, that there are new beginnings coming for me and to keep my thoughts positive. This is very relevant for me right now as I am experiencing a shift on my spiritual journey. I can feel it physically – aches and desire for more sleep – typical of a growth period. And I have a sense that there is a change coming for me.

What about 333 or 444 or 555?

These are fairly common repeating numbers for people to see. Basically, 3s and 4s are letting you know that you are surrounded by your Angels and Ascended Masters and they are looking out for you. When you see these numbers, think about what you are experiencing in life and know that you are being looked after. 5s herald that a change is coming for you.

So is 666 a sign of the Devil?

No! It’s been co-opted by fiction and the movies effectively but it has nothing to with the Devil. 6s are about balance and peace, faith and love. It is about trusting the Universe and Spirit to support you in achieving your goals and desires. So, please, let go of the association of 666 with the Devil and don’t be freaked out if this sequence of numbers keeps coming into your awareness. It is all good!

Want to learn more about numbers and their meanings?

The first resource I started out with was Doreen Virtue’s book “Angel Numbers” and I still use it now and then. The other resource that has become my go-to is a website by Joanne Walmsley Sacred Scribes Australia. You can find it as sacredscribesangelnumbers.blogspot.ca

Enjoy the connection with Spirit through numbers.

Once you start to notice them, you will find you notice them a lot. And the same ones will turn up for a period of time. Over time, the numbers will change as Spirit communicates a different message to you.

A little baby is born.  Innocent, cute, and pure joy.  As with all things the days, months and years go by.  Babies turn into toddlers then, next thing you know you are dealing with teenagers and adolescence.

You have cherished the many years you have watched these amazing beings grow, learn and become more independent and wise.  You watched them rise and fall.  Fall in love and get hurt.  Send them off to college or university and hope you have taught them all they need to know so they can accomplish tasks of everyday life and fend for themselves.  Finally, comes the day they start their career, family and follow their own path.

It’s all governed by the cycle of life.

But as with time, all things change.  The pace of life, health, and independence to some.  The ageing process sets in.  Bodies begin to change, as the mind.  Some experience the changes earlier than others.  But the change is inevitable.

Then to some comes a time of battling disease, illness, or age itself.  Some are lucky to get help at home for as long a possible and others may end up in hospitals, hospice, or palliative care units.  At this point in life, you are hitting the end of your cycle.  The time where heaven seems so much closer than before.

These changes can be very tough on the individual and their family and friends.  Why and what makes it so tough?

After doing several channeling sessions and personally experiencing these ends stages in life with family or friends, I’ve realised how important this time is just as it was at their birth.  As adults, most tend to have more questions, long term connections with people and want more defined answers.  Yet, afraid to ask.  I’m talking about people that are in the end stages of life and palliative care.

It’s not the change in the facility that a loved one goes in that makes us upset, is it? No. But it is the fact that we know our loved one is near the end of the life cycle and they will be leaving their vessel here on earth as their spirit and soul move back at one with the universe.  The end of their life is near.

So as hard as it is for the family or friends to watch and experience; what about the loved one who is the at this stage in life?

Many people are intrigued to see how their loved ones view the last stages of life.  What they experienced and how they felt.  So, I present you with the answer as it comes from a session with a client of a past loved ones. Many people come in for a reading to connect with their loved one to make sure they are ok and did not suffer.

We, humans, worry a lot and have a hard time in not being able to find answers.  Let’s go to the source of passed loved ones and find out what they may have experienced during the palliative care stage.

One spirit (passed loved one) says that they had triple heart bypass and was in multiple organ failure.  He was on several medications, oxygen and not mobile.  He said that he could keep track and hear people talking, even at the end when was he was not coherent.  He smiles and tells me that medical staff have their regulations, procedures, and protocols they adhere by.  But on a spiritual level things are different.

 

During several other mediumship sessions passed loved ones explain that they usually do not feel the full pain.  Some have outer body experiences at times.  They say it’s a way for them to experience the spirit realm before they pass fully.  And that they could easily go from the spirit realm back to earth at ease.  They at times even connect with family, friends and pets that have passed.  This gives them the reassurance that they will not be alone and someone will be waiting for them when they do pass.

Another passed individual that I channeled for let their loved one know of the little things they heard their loved one said.  Even to the holding of their hand and kiss on their face.  My client felt peace knowing that their loved one did hear what they had to say and was there.  It was very comforting.

So, from channeling many sessions I have come to also realise that when people are in the end stages of life and at the palliative care state they are preparing for their passing.  They are usually at ease most of the time and experimenting with their next stages of life.  Some even pass a week before their vessel (body) passes as they know some family member may not be ready for them to pass yet.  And no matter the state they may be in if they are not alert or mobile, they still know loved ones are there and can feel, hear or even see what’s going on, but at ease and peace.

It is never easy to watch a loved one in this state but also comforting in another way knowing that they are being taken care of and watched over and watching over us.

Why clear your Home or Business?

Maybe because you think there is a Spirit there. But energy also leaves imprints in spaces. Both Spirit and negative energy in your home or business can have lasting effects.

“This place feels weird.”

I think pretty much everyone has walked into a space – a home, a meeting place, a business or a historical attraction and thought “Wow. It doesn’t feel right in here. I don’t know what it is, but it is making me uncomfortable.”

Is it Spirit?

You may experience a change in temperature – cold spots or a breeze where there shouldn’t be one. Quick glimpses of a shape or face in a mirror or out of the corner of your eye. Or maybe you hear strange sounds. These are signs that there is a Spirit present. Because we sense someone but can’t see anyone, we sometimes react in fear of the unknown. It doesn’t necessarily mean the Spirit doesn’t want you there. It could just be that they are confused and trapped in this dimension. Or maybe the Spirit wants to give you a message.

Is it energy?

Events that carry strong emotions can leave an imprint in a place, like unseen dirt. Divorce, death, some sort of traumatic event, all leave energy imprints behind. When you enter a space and experience a feeling of sadness, or nausea, or dizziness, or even experience a wall of energy that feels unwelcoming, it is highly probable that you are reacting to a negative energy imprint.

How can this affect you?

We’ve all heard of a house that doesn’t sell or a business that can’t seem to find success no matter how attractive the home/store/restaurant/product/location. But what about disturbed sleep because you feel a presence and don’t know what the Spirit wants? Or a feeling of constriction or fear whenever you enter a certain room or place? Or maybe your relationships are suddenly fraught with tension as result of negative energy that you’re living in but not aware of. None of this is healthy for you in the long term.

How do you clear it?

If it is a Spirit you sense and you don’t want it around, ask it to leave or send it into the light. If it is an energy imprint, clearing it with incense or burning sage can help. If these don’t work for you, call in a professional. An Intuitive can connect with Spirit to move them along and can also work with their Spirit Guides to clear out any energy imprints.

We all want to live and work in places that are comfortable, welcoming and prosperous. Which is why clearing your home or business is important.

Have you ever had a moment in time when you felt lost, hopeless, and feeling like there is nowhere to turn?

You felt so down you didn’t know whom to talk to?  It could have been late at night or on a weekend when you felt that no one was available to get a hold of.

This is where you hear of stories when people say they talked to God, the universe or a passed loved one.  They did this just to let out the mass flow of thoughts that they may have been processing in their mind.

We all go through times that we need guidance, comfort, and the feeling of love.  But in some of our darkest and low moments, it’s not always easy to be motivated to go out and seek those who can provide our needs for us.  Or we don’t want others judging us or even the slight chance of them telling someone else and thinking that we are weak and not capable.

So, let us backtrack a bit; Where we spoke earlier of people talking to God, the universe or a passed loved one.  Have you ever thought about the Angels?

Yep, that’s what I said.  Have you ever thought about asking for guidance, Love, Closure or just a listening ear from our Angels?

I have worked with many different Angels and Archangels since I was a child.  It only took me a little while to understand and realise that they were here to help guide me, send me comfort, love and they were my backbones for a very long time.  I still connect with them daily and am so grateful they have been part of my life and will continue to be.

Angels are always around watching over us and our family and friends.  They leave signs for us and you will see them if you are open and accepting.

Have you ever made a last-minute change in plans or taken a different route?  Did something happen and an accident prevented yet you don’t understand how it all happened?  Those are just a few simple examples of Angels by your side.

Do you see rainbows or feathers out of the blue?  Even hear angelic music in the middle of the night and thought you were sleeping? Ahh, Angels 101. So, comforting, and full of love!!

So, if you have not connected with the Angelic realm, Try it.  Talk to the Angels, let them hear your thoughts, fears, worries or your accomplishments, successes, and goals.

But, when you are looking for the Angels answers being sent you, be open to what’s around you.  Notice licences plates, street signs, repetitive numbers, magazines and TV shows as well.  Angels will try to communicate answers to you in any way they can and they will keep doing it until you notice it and understand it.

As I type this my loving Archangel Raphael connects with me.  He would like to pass a message on to you all.  Archangel Raphael says “All my loving friends.  I am so happy to connect with you all and send you love and healing light.  We are all beings of light and love.  With that, I ask of you to all spread the love and light, that you all carry within yourself.  Send love to those who are hurting around you or are in need.  Know that your intent sets the environment and atmosphere for in which you choose to live your life.  Angels are always around giving you guidance and love.  You just need to be open to feel our love and trust our guidance.  We will never lead you astray.  Take my hand to all those that are here and I fill you with love, light, guidance and confidence to move you forth in your journey”.

Thank you, Archangel Raphael, for your lovely message. And what a great way to end this.  Knowing how loving and readily available they are, for all of our needs.

Sending you all love and light from Archangel Raphael and myself.

You may have lost a loved one and want to connect with them through an Intuitive or Medium. During your channeling session, the loved one is asked to come forward but doesn’t.

Does this mean something is wrong with your loved one? With you? 

No. Not at all. If your loved one doesn’t show up during the session, it doesn’t mean that your loved one’s spirit is lost or is suffering. And it isn’t because you’ve done something wrong and your loved one doesn’t want to talk to you.

There are a couple of reasons why a loved one may not come through.

In the majority of instances when a client has asked to communicate with a specific loved one and that person hasn’t come through, it is because the client is in a state of grief in which having contact with that loved one doesn’t serve his or her best interests. I know this seems counterintuitive. You would think that having contact would help lessen the person’s grief. However, in the cases we’ve witnessed, the client has been in what we describe as a bubble or a cloud. Their grief is at a stage where contact wouldn’t serve them – it may deepen their grief. It doesn’t mean the passed loved one isn’t around. It is simply that the time isn’t right for communication between the spirit of the loved one and the person who is grieving.

The other case is that the spirit of the passed loved one isn’t ready to be communicated with. Again, this doesn’t mean that the spirit is lost or suffering – it is simply the case that the spirit or soul is in life review and have some things they need to come to terms with before they are ready to communicate with the living. For example, one client wanted to connect with her husband who had passed. The image that was presented to her was of him seated at a school desk with the message – “he is in school and unavailable”. She wasn’t surprised at all. In fact, it made perfect sense to her given how he had lived his life. But the fact that she was presented with his image at school still let her know that he was fine – just learning.

Could the reason be that the Intuitive or Medium isn’t qualified?

Yes. Not everyone who claims to be able to communicate with spirits of people who have passed on can actually do so. Be careful when you are choosing someone to make this connection for you. Check their background. Are they experienced with a proven track record? Have they been practicing for a while? Do they have legitimate testimonials? Were they referred to you by someone you trust? Can they refer satisfied clients to you? If the answer is yes to all of these questions but the connection still wasn’t able to be made, then the reason is for one of the two listed above, not that the person is unqualified.

You can also connect with your loved one yourself.

Ask your loved one to appear in a dream to you before you go to sleep. If it doesn’t happen immediately, don’t give up. Keep trying. If you still don’t have success after a few nights, ask yourself a few questions. Are you really ready to connect with that loved one? Is it possible that the loved one is in life review? Is there any fear in you, at all, about this connection that may be preventing it?

Are you receiving non-verbal communication?

Your loved ones are around. Are they leaving you objects that you might associate with them? Are you finding coins on the ground? (Pennies or dimes) Do you feel a chill in the air when you think of them? Are objects being moved in your house? These are all potential signs that your loved one is communicating with you in non-verbal ways.

So even if you can’t make the connection, feel free to talk to your passed loved ones. They can hear you.

 

Have you ever been on holidays or at a spot where you felt like you have been before but, you know you have not?

What about phobias?  Do you have any? Spiders, heights or the dark?  What about water, drowning or being caught in a fire?

Have you ever thought about where it may come from?

These can all be traits of past lives coming through into this lifetime. I’m sure you have heard of people looking at little kids and wondering where they get their wisdom from or where did they come up with that statement.  We all usually just giggle and think, wow how cute or, they just play it off.  Right?  Have you ever done that with a little one?  I’m sure many have.

Next time you come across a child that says something that may seem wise beyond their age?  Or if they start playing in an imaginative way that is beyond their knowledge: go ahead and ask the child where did they get that idea or information from.  Play into it and dig a bit to see what else may come out of it.   You may be surprised!!  Kids are very open and have no barrier or blocks from spirit or past lives. You may learn a thing or two from them. And know it’s all harmless.

How about you?  Do you have any of these traits as described above?  Or do you have a specific attachment to something and you don’t know why?  May it be a specific animal, insect, or type of antique.

If you look deeper into it, these could be related to one or several past lives you have lived.

Yes, there is such a thing as past lives.  Most people do not acknowledge these traits, habits or events may have come from a past life. But it very well could be.

Past lives can at times be of assistance to us in this life.  I’d like to give you an example.  I had a client that had a fear of drowning and had nightmares and feared water to the point where she was not able to enjoy the water.  I did a past life session with her where I connected to her past life and brought up a few different things that may have happened to her or she witnessed.  The session revealed that this lady lived back in the late 1800’s and there was a small pond with rocks around it on her property.  Her child had tripped on the rocks and had drowned.  She witnessed the end result of this in her past life…. drowning.  Leading her to hold the fear of that experience and the attachment to what water meant to her.  Not so nice.  So, once she acknowledged this event was from the past, she worked on understanding this no longer served her and has no relevance in this life.  She finally released this fear and has been able to gradually welcome some water back into her life and enjoy the ocean, rivers, and pools.

We have all lived many lives in many lifetimes.  I know we have you thinking now!!
