If Spirit is Guiding Us, Why Do Painful Things Happen?

A very good question. One that we, as connected as we are to our Spirit Guides and followers of their direction are, struggle with occasionally. These are the three main things we’ve learned and hope that it helps you.

1. You are being given a lesson.

We all have lessons to learn while we live our lives. Not the ones we learn in school or at home – like math or cooking. Life lessons. How to be patient. How to overcome adversity. How to forgive. How to be humble.

Learning these lessons is part of your purpose in this life. They are given to you so that you grow; not only in this life but to move your forward in your next life as well.

Sometimes it feels like the lesson is never-ending. We wonder “Why?” And we ask for it to end. When it doesn’t end when we want, we doubt that we are being guided. This is not so. We are being guided. The lesson seems to be never-ending because we aren’t listening. We aren’t learning. Our egos have gotten in the way.

2. Your Ego has taken over.

It is a failing we all have. We believe we deserve certain things in life. We believe we know what is best for ourselves. So we stop listening to our guides and try to control outcomes. This never works in our favour and life gets painful.

For example, I disliked my job. I believed if I got further ahead, reached a certain professional standing and made more money, I would be happy. I worked hard and achieved those goals but happiness didn’t follow. I came to hate my career. As I moved up, I got sicker and sicker. My allergies worsened, my food sensitivities sky-rocketed. It got to a point where there were only about 10 foods I could eat. I wasn’t listening to my Guides. I was trying to force myself into a life that I thought was best for me. When I finally got tired of living this way and opened myself up to the idea that I was meant to do something else, my life changed. I allowed myself to realize that I didn’t know what was best. I opened myself up to the guidance that Spirit offered me and I followed it. I found my purpose and passion and I live it. And my health has improved dramatically. Now, there is nothing I can’t eat.

Our guides have the whole picture – we don’t. They know what is best for us. When we tune them out, and pursue a path based on ego, we pay the price.

3. It is someone else’s path.

You’ve lost a loved one. Or you are witnessing the suffering of a loved one and can’t help them. It hurts. But while it hurts, it isn’t always about your hurt, or your fear, or your frustration. It is about what that person has to learn in this life. That person had to pass at that point as it was his/her journey to do so. That person has to suffer physical or mental illness or harm because he/she is being given a lesson.

It doesn’t seem fair or just. However, there is always a light that comes out of it. It can lead to hope, strength, compassion, leadership, awareness or, as in death, the end of suffering. This is where Spirit Guides lead these loved ones – to light, learning and renewal.

Remember that this is his/her journey to enlightenment – and yours too. We have to remember that in every lesson, every misstep taken by our egos and pain that comes with our loved ones’ journeys, we are being led to light, peace and love.

Benefits Of A Channeling Session For Kids

There are many reasons why adults have channeling sessions.

Some want closure from a passed loved one. Others want to gain more insight about which direction they should move in. Let’s not forget about romance and the financials.

Whatever it may be, people are just looking for more guidance and balance in their life.

So why can’t kids have the same?

Many kids go through tough times and are looking for guidance that is not from a family member or friend. Or they may not even understand that they need guidance or that it is available for them. In this case the parent or guardian would notice the child is unsettled or having troubles in certain area of their life. This is when the adult would approach the child and give them options. So many adults just let the kids be and think that they will “grow” out it. This is not so in so many cases.

Also remember that kids are so open and loving they think it’s great to receive a message from spirit or loved ones.

Now, don’t get me wrong. I have channeled for children before and some are not sure of the whole spirit thing. So the session is done differently. Let me give you an example of one of my past sessions with a child and the parent has given permission to share this.

Case one:
A young child (7 Years old) is not sure why she feels the way she does and her Mom has some questions. Now this family is open to spirit and the Mom has spoken to the child about how this could help. This child is open to sitting and listening to the session with Mom beside her. The child is allowed to colour and listen in and out of the session and answer questions that may arise. So I would start my session and pass the message on from my spirit guide to the child and Mom. It is done with love and ease to accommodate the child’s style it is delivered in.

The session was not recorded but Mom took notes to help.

Conclusion: The child was feeling the loss of a loved one and around the anniversary of the passing she would feel out of sort. This was brought to their attention so they could deal with it and do little things to remember this loved one. These were hidden emotions that could not be uncovered and originally affected her schooling and sleep.

Case two:

The child is either too young or does not want to really think there is spirit passing on messages.

In this case, I would connect to spirit and get permission to do a session first with the child’s guide and soul. If all was a go, the child could play or watch TV or read. They can do whatever they wanted to keep them distracted. But I find most are curious and listen in and out of the session.

I would sit with the child’s parent or guardian and pass the messages on to them. They would then take into account what is being passed on and how they could help and apply it to that child.

Sessions with children can be very emotional. It’s amazing to see a release when kids come in the room with me. It’s an amazing experience and I am truly blessed that some parents realize that this route can help them out so much on so many different levels.

Kids respond well to these sessions and the outcomes. Many parents email me back stating the change and difference seen in their child. They report kids feel more secure, confident and it helps tackle issues they may be experiencing. This could be anywhere from emotional outbursts to lack of concentration or lack of sleep.

People with Autism and or individuals that are non-verbal have benefited from Channeling and Chakra Balancing session as well. It gets them to relax and for the non-verbal, I am able to communicate telepathically and have a conversation with them. This helps give them a voice and feel heard. There are many different child and adult disabilities that can benefit from this type of work.

When working with kids I have noticed that my guides set goals for parents to help their children with. It’s amazing how the kids respond to these with excitement. Kids truly jump right in and take action. It’s like they know that this is the best for them and will help them. Never underestimate a child. They are usually thinking a few thoughts and are a few steps ahead of us!!

I find that we really need to listen to our younger generation. They are wise beyond means and could teach us a lesson or two and help us grow.

Are Spirit Guides Angels?

One of my clients asked me this recently and it stumped me. I didn’t know how to answer. I had never really thought our Spirit Guides in terms of being angels. And yet I’ve explained to clients that some people refer to Spirit Guides as Guardian Angels.

So I went to the source and asked.

My Spirit Guide Stephen explained it this way.

“Yes, we are angels but not always in the form people typically think of angels being. We take on shapes/bodies, characteristics of people, animals or things that will have meaning for the person we are guiding. People think of angels in heavenly robes with wings – and we can appear that way, too, but not always. We aren’t like the heavenly masters Archangel Raphael or Archangel Gabriel and the other Ascended Masters. They have a specific universal purpose for all. For example, Archangel Raphael’s main purpose is for healing and Gabriel’s is for care of children. We as Spirit Guides have a specific purpose too, but for individuals rather than the universe. That’s not to say either that the Archangels can’t be a person’s Spirit Guide. They can do that, too.”

So there you have it. A glimpse into the spiritual realm. Karen will explore in more depth the different types of angels in coming blogs but for now, Spirit Guides or Guardian Angels or whatever you call them – angels here to help us.

How To Keep Your Kids Self Esteem & Confidence High

Do you ever wonder how some kids just seem to know it all?

Or they seem so wise for their age?

They say something and it sounds like they could be giving you advice. Then they do something and it makes you wonder, how they knew how to do something like that or figure it out.

We are all built with intuition. It is in us the second we are born. It all depends on who continues to use their intuition. And sometimes us as parents can shift our child’s way of thinking and change their train of thought.

It’s not that we do this on purpose or have any intention in doing so. But it’s almost like we are telling them what to think and what to do.

We are at times very over protective and we always want the best for our children. But we don’t realize that we are instilling our thoughts and thinking patterns into them.

This leaves our kids relying on us to think for them. During this process our kids then lose out on their own intuition. When they no longer use their intuition other issues may arise.

Self-esteems and confidence are big ones that go with it. I have taught workshops and have worked with many kids on building up their intuition again. When I can help them build their intuition again, they will regain their self-esteem and confidence back. They feel good about the decisions they make not just at school and home. But they make wiser decisions when with friends and are out on their own. They are more confident to say “NO” and trust if they are in a bad situation, so they can leave to get out of it.

What parent does not want their child to feel confident in decisions they make? Or stand up for themselves and make better choices, may it be a school, with friends or for themselves.
It also shows in school and on sports teams. Do you see your kids hesitate on answering or asking questions? Or filling out work for school or deciding on what or how a project will look.

What about in sports. Do you see them hesitate on where to go or what their next move is?

This is all because they are seconding guessing their first though which, was their intuition. This process should be natural and they should just go with that first thought and know it was the best decision for them. But in today’s society everyone is trying to tell everyone else what to do and how to think. Why can’t we just speak for ourselves using our intuition?

After all our intuition comes from a place of purity, love and peace. It helps us in our journey to become better people. The obstacles only make us better. And in the end it sets our children up for a brighter future in being a leader and not a follower.

What Channeling Spirit Feels Like

Everyone who connects with Spirit experiences it in her/his own unique way with some sensations being universal. For me, it feels like this.

Tingly.

I always have tingles on my left arm from my Stephen, my Spirit Guide. Occasionally, these become so intense, my arm feels like it is on fire. Stephen does this when he wants to emphasize a particular message he is giving.

Sometimes the top of my head tingles during a session. For me, this indicates a download of information from another Spirit that I need to pay attention to.

Cool.

When I am connecting with spirits of people who have passed, the temperature will often drop making me feel cool or cold. This is a fairly common sensation for most.

If you aren’t someone who channels Spirit, but feel you have a passed love one around you, this change in temperature is good indicator that they are there.

Itchy.

As strange as that sounds, when I am channeling, Stephen will often make my nose, and sometimes my cheekbones, itch. This is a signal to me to widen my field of vision to see a bigger image that he wants to give. It’s pretty funny to watch 😉

Sneezy.

I will often sneeze during a session when another spirit, a guide or passed loved one, wants to come in and give a message. At times, I can catch the tingle in the nose before I sneeze. Which is helpful because when a sneeze comes out of nowhere it can be a bit startling!

Uncomfortable.

Yes, unfortunately there are occasions when I experience uncomfortable sensations when I am channeling. Back pain. Hip pain. Grief. Nausea. These sensations either mimic what a client is experiencing or are a result of leftover energy imprints. Spirit has me experience these sensations so I can convey the messages that explain them.

Joyous. Loving. Comforting.

Thankfully, Spirit gives these sensations more often than the uncomfortable ones. They are physical sensations and feel really good!

Can’t Make Up Your Mind? Try This

Do you have a hard time making decisions and trusting in your gut or intuition?

Well this can help you with simple decisions and learn to trust your intuition again.

It’s called a pendulum. It usually looks like a string or a chain that has a crystal or an object handing from the bottom of it. Sometimes there is also a small bead, loop or crystal on the top where you can hold it.

So what is a pendulum used for?

Many use it to gain insight to certain Yes, No questions they may have. As when using a pendulum you are quieting your mind and letting your higher self and spirit answer the question from a place of peace and pure love.

If you are distraught or not in a good place then it would not be best to use this method, as your intentions will not be aligned with a positive truthful outcome.

When your intent is good and clear you can try using a pendulum for simple Yes, No questions. The more experienced you get with it, you can then do more advanced questions.

You can make your own pendulums as well. A simple string or chain with a ring on the bottom or a rock tied in. You can use anything you want. Go out in nature and make one.

To hold the pendulum you hold the top usually in your receiving hand between your thumb and third finger. If this is not possible then use what is comfortable.

Now that you have your pendulum you need to find out how it will swing for you when you ask questions. Because there is only a Yes and No answers this will be your first question.

With the pendulum between your fingers and hanging still, concentrate on how the pendulum will show you your yes swing. Be patient. You can say out loud or mentally. Please show me my Yes swing.

Once you have found your Yes swing, now find your No swing and then your undecided swing. But usually when you know your Yes and No, the last way is your undecided.

Why an undecided answer. Well sometimes there are things that we just do not need to find out or know at this point in your life. So you will not get an answer.

Now, go have fun with your pendulums. Just do not abuse it or your Ego will pop in and it will not work.

Here are some starter questions you can use.

1. Is my name __________
2. Do I Live in _________________
3. Have I lived in a previous life time?
4. Should I make spaghetti for dinner?
Keep practicing with this. It is a great tool to have.

Remember to share this with your friends and family. It’s great for the whole family to try!

Why Spirit’s Messages Are Sometimes Ambiguous

There are times when you want to be told what to do.

You are agonizing over a decision. Or feeling stuck, with no sense of direction. Or you want to be told what your purpose is. You want a clear answer.

You to go to Spirit for unbiased advice. To get clear directions.

You’ve got expectations that Spirit is going to give you what you want. And then Spirit gives you a message that is vague. Maybe it’s just an image. Maybe it’s a metaphor. Maybe it’s resounding silence.

You don’t get the answer or step-by-step instructions you wanted.

You’re disappointed, right? Maybe even angry at Spirit.

I can relate. I’m relocating cities and I’ve sold my house in Toronto. I’ve been house-hunting in London, Ontario but I can’t find anything. I’m the type of person who likes to make things happen quickly. This is not happening for me. Time is running out. I’m frustrated. When I asked Spirit for direction, I got “Your house will turn up. Don’t worry.” Argh! And then my guide, Stephen, showed Karen a picture of the house but instructed her not to tell me what it looks like. It’s maddening.

Why does this happen? Why are there times when Spirit’s response is less than clear? It’s not done to make us crazy. It’s actually done to help us. Really.

Spirit always knows what we need. It may not be what we want, but it is what we need. When Spirit provides a response that isn’t clear it’s because we need to learn or figure out something for ourselves. It is meant to help us grow. If Spirit answered all our questions for us, we would stop learning and growing. We wouldn’t learn to further tap into our intuition. We wouldn’t strengthen our trust and belief in ourselves.

Spirit is helping us move forward on our journey by helping us grow as individuals. Spirit is teaching us that sometimes the answers are within us. We just have to dig for them. And we become stronger for it.

What lessons is Spirit teaching me on my house hunt? Patience, for one! That things don’t always go according to my timeline. That control is overrated. There are times when it is good to let things evolve outside my control. Trust. That I can trust my intuition to know when I’ve found the right house. Which will strengthen my belief in myself. And therefore my self-confidence.

When you get that vague message (or silence) from Spirit don’t rail against it. Accept it. 

Know that Spirit is doing it out of love for you. Spirit is leading you on a journey for your own personal growth. Embrace the lesson. And take deep breaths!

France, Germany and Canada all In One Night? Yes You Can… Astral Travel Will Take You There

Have you ever had a dream of flying?

Or wished you could fly from Canada to France or anywhere in the world?

What about space? Flying by planets and the Milky Way and seeing galaxies that are beyond your imagination.

Oh it’s possible. I have done it. Yes, I have flown around the world and been to space. It is breathtaking and something that is so real and memorable. All so relaxing, beautiful and so much wisdom during each visit.

Sound cool eh?

What if I told you I did it from my very own home?

It’s called astral travel.

As humans we all have our physical vessels which are our bodies. We also have our soul which is the energy and spiritual part.

During astral travel our spiritual soul leaves our body and can travel and visit anywhere and with anyone. We are still connected by an energetic cord so we are not in the stage of dying. We are just experiencing astral travel. Sometimes people notice themselves jump in their sleep. Usually this is due to the spirit coming back into the body before our vessels wake up. It’s rushing to get back into its vessel so we are connected when we wake up.

During astral travel we can learn so much along the way from the people we meet and where we go. We can oversee things and it can help with decisions we may have or fears that we need to overcome.

Can everyone do it?

Yes, we can all astral travel. Sometimes people practice to do it, because you have to be the proper state of sleep to astral travel. You need to be totally relaxed and in a slight meditative state. Some people can do it just like breathing, It just comes natural.

Just think, a free ride and you can work by day and fly by night.

Have you had an out of body experience? Tell me about it, I want to hear where you went!

Muscle Talk? Oh, They Tell All….

When we talk about the human muscles; most people think about working out and building them. Muscles have many functions for the human body. The main one is for movement and helping us with our posture.

What if I were to tell you that your muscles can help provide you with answers. It is not mystical or voodoo. It is kinesiology’s natural way of using the bodies’ electrical system at any given time.

Kinesiology is another word for muscle testing.

Everyone and anyone can use muscle testing. It can be a great help to really tune into your body and get answers.

Having said that, if someone is not open to muscle testing or applied kinesiology, the results may not be as effective. In many of these modalities you need to be open minded. In my personal option; you create your own reality and if you choose not to believe in something, it’s not going to work or have a positive outcome.

So how is muscle testing done?

Muscle testing uses your personal electrical system. This energetic electrical system knows what brings balance and harmony to the body and what is disruptive to it.

Muscle testing is typically done by testing the resistance in one arm. You hold a thought or question in your mind. You can also hold an item you have a question about in your hand.

When all that is in place, hold your arm out straight. Have someone apply pressure to that arm. You will be able to feel resistance or no resistance on that arm. This is your electrical system working.

When there is no resistance and your arm can be pushed down, this is your body telling you that it really is not in balance and that your body may not like what you just tested.

When you have trouble pushing the arm down and you feel resistance, this is usually a great indicator that your body is OK with this.

It’s fun to play around with muscle testing and you will be surprised how accurate it can be!!

What do you think about muscle testing? Leave us a comment below.

Communicate with Passed Pets

Pets are beloved companions.

When they pass, we miss them and grieve for them. And we want to know that they are okay. That they aren’t suffering.

It is possible to know how your pet is doing after they pass.

Just as a connection can be made to a human spirit who has passed on, so can a connection be made to an animal that has passed on. The process for connecting is the same.

If you use an Intuitive like us, we will connect to spirit and ask for your pet’s spirit to come through. If you are able to connect with Spirit yourself, ask for your pet to come through. (If you’ve never tried to connect, use these steps)

Don’t be surprised when your pet speaks to you!

Yes, your pet can communicate using words when they are in spirit form. Sometimes they may show you an image that lets you know they are healthy and happy.

I channeled a friend’s cat for her and he gave her both images and words. And now that she can connect to Spirit herself, this cat is one of her main guides.

No matter how your pet chooses to communicate – through words or images or just a feeling, accept the message and comfort offered.

So, if you feel you still hear or sense your pet after they’ve passed, don’t discount this feeling. They are definitely with you in spirit.
