Worrying? Having trouble making a big decision?  Feeling overwhelmed by life? Wonder if you are on the right path? Are there things you fear?  

A Channeling Session can address these matters and more.

During a Channeling session, Spirit (Higher Source/Universe/God/All – however you refer to Spirit) will provide you with messages that address what is happening in your life.

Spirit offers unbiased guidance to you that can answer worries and questions you have about your career, a health matter or a family member. You may receive messages about a past life that explains why are afraid to be in a house alone or why you have a constant pressure around your chest. One of your Spirit Guides may come forward to be introduced. A loved one may come through with a message for you.

Each session is unique to the individual and provides information that the recipient needs to know at the time of the session.

Our clients have shared the following benefits they’ve received from a Channeling session:

  • Happiness
  • Comfort
  • Clarity
  • Peace
  • Reassurance
  • Release of fear
  • Lessening of anxiety
  • Increased insight
  • Easing of grief

You may be a little wary about having a session, however, there is nothing to fear. Messages from Spirit come from love and no one receives information that they do not need or cannot handle. You will only receive information you are ready for and that you need to know at that point in your life.

Why not give it a try? Everyone can benefit from Spirit’s loving guidance.

So intent can mean different things to different people depending on the conversation. The “Intent” I wish to inform you about today in this blog is about the Intent that you set forth into the universe. May it be connecting with spirit, channeling or even asking the universe for something.

Let’s dig in to the dirt and put this to practice. Ready? Let’s go….

You need to concentrate on a specific statement you are going to be using. This is where you need the thought of the intent to be clear, focused and do not have the solution or the outcome you are looking for. Usually this is the hardest part people have to overcome. Many want to provide the route of outcome to the specific question or goal they may be intending. So they are thinking of what they want and then they think of how they want it to happen. Do not do this, it will not benefit you.

So here is an example of how NOT to send out your intent. The scenario is, you have a family member that is ill and you want them to have a full recovery. Here is the incorrect way for sending out the intent…. I ask for the highest healing spirit to heal my friend that is sick with a bad virus. I want you heal them right away with the medication so we can bring them home as it’s their birthday. OK, so this is all wrong. It will be so scrambled when it is sent out to the universe, nothing will happen.

Remember your intent needs to be clear, from the heart (you truly want this healing to happen) and then you need to release it. So you could try something like this. “I ask for Jane Doe to be surrounded with the green light of healing. I thank you for healing Jane Doe fully and completely. Thank you”

As you can see your intent shows the person or thing you are requesting and you are stating it in past tense as if Jane is already healed. Also, the one holding this intent has to go into this  believing and knowing that Jane is healed.

If you go in subconsciously not truly wanting something or are afraid and unsure, you are counteracting what you want. No healing with take place then.

So remember intent is a big thing if you want it to work on all levels for any goals, prayers or accomplishments you may have.

Yes, you have many Spirit Guides with you!

You may not be aware that you have more than one Guide to help you during your lifetime.

You have one dedicated Spirit Guide that joins you at birth and stays with you until death, what I will call your “Main” Guide. Other Spirit Guides come into your life for varying durations and you will have some simultaneously.

Guides come in and out of your life for specific reasons.

Spirit Guides come into your life to help you with challenges, growth, and learning. These Guides have a specific purpose and stay as long as you need them.

Sometimes Guides stay for a few weeks, months or many years. These Spirit Guides may be with you constantly or they may come and go over their assigned time.

For example, just before I took my first Intuitive course, I had a Guide name Helen suddenly appear in my life. She announced her arrival as tingles on a specific area of my upper right arm. When I asked, Helen explained she was there to help me with my training.

The tingles were always there and I would check in when I needed Helen’s help grasping or clarifying the concepts I was learning. Helen stayed with me for a few months after I finished my second round of training as a professional Intuitive.

I have another Spirit Guide, Therese, that comes and goes, using tingles on my right forearm to announce her presence. She pops in to remind me to have fun and not take things so seriously. She has been with me close to two years.

Your Spirit Guides come in many guises.

Often, when people think of Spirit Guides, they picture them as people. And many guides do take on human form. But just as many don’t.

I know people who have Guides that are animals, insects, rocks, aliens or just beams of light.

The form a Guide will take on has special significance for you and for the reason they are with you. And they may change over time.

Your Main Guide can introduce you to your other Guides.

If you are wondering if you have more than one Spirit Guide (who you may already know) or feel like you have more than one, ask the Guide you are familiar with (usually your Main Guide) to introduce you to the others.

As I’ve said, my new guide Helen showed up as tingles on my right arm. Most of my Guides show up as tingles. When that happens, I always connect to Stephen, my Main Guide, and ask him to make the introduction.

If you have never connected with one of your Guides and want to, please use Karen’s 4 Tips to Connect with Your Spirit Guide.

Ask your Guides what brought them to you.

Some of us may feel shy about asking our Spirit Guides why they are with us. Maybe we feel that is too demanding and that we should just wait until they want to tell us.

There is no need to stand on ceremony! Ask and if your Spirit Guide believes the time is right for you to know and understand their purpose, they will tell you. If the time isn’t right, they will tell you that, too! And you can always ask again later.

Don’t be afraid of any Spirit Guide that comes into your life.

All Spirit Guides come into our lives to teach us something. Sometimes we may be afraid of what our Guides might tell us. We shouldn’t be because the messages come with love and a Guide can bring knowledge to help us release a fear.

Do you have trouble loving yourself or others? What about forgiveness? Let me give you a sneak preview on how the heart chakra may be part of the culprit!

Many may know it is not so easy to love themselves or even love others. This is why I want to help you open up your heart chakra also known as your 4th chakra (Anahata). By balancing this chakra it will hopefully help you to start loving yourself and others and be more open to forgive.

Learning to love yourself and others plays a major factor for a happier, healthier life.
So where is this chakra located? The location of this chakra is actually so fitting. It is located in the middle of your chest with its energy emanating your physical heart.

It is very important to keep all of your chakras in balance but to love others, forgive yourself and others you need this chakra vortex to be radiant emerald green open and balanced. Let’s face it, we all want to be loved, but to love ourselves is so important to our overall health. We must love and accept ourselves before we can love and truly accept others.

When you can open up your heart chakra you may find life is that much easier, as you look at it with a different view. When you learn to forgive yourself, you emotionally let go of that baggage on the subconscious level. Also, to forgive others it will have the same ripple effect as forgiving yourself. Who does not want to feel light, happy and lessen their worries?

There is also that good old saying “think with your heart not your head”. I like to say “yes to this all the way”. When we think with our head our “ego” gets in the way and it is usually not a true meaningful thought or decision. Just because you think with your heart, does not mean you give in and are always going to be the nicest person ever. It just shows that you can think and react in the best interest for any person or yourself keeping your head/ego out of the way. This is a tough one for most. It’s just practice at slowing down and really thinking about the situations that you are in. You can do it. Just give it a try.

I would like to guide you on a short balancing session of your heart chakra to help you open up and re-balance it so you can start loving yourself and others. Lorraine and I also offer Chakra Balances, which touch on all of your Chakras.

But let’s start with just the heart chakra first.

I would like you to notice the way you feel now and then again at the end of the balancing. Just take a small note.

Let’s start by finding a comfortable spot. Next, try and still your mind.

Breathe in your nose and out your mouth. I want you to visualize the center of your chest where your heart chakra would be located. Take a look and visualize the colour. Is it green? Or does it have dark spots on it? Is it uniform? And take a look at the size of it. Is it big or small?

Now, I want you to picture a stream of white light coming from above that is going to come through the top of your head and down inside of the heart chakra and clean out all of the dark spots and imbalances. Keep using this white light until there is only sparking green light.

Now reshape it so it resembles a sphere or 3D disc and it is all uniform. You want to make sure that the size of it is not too big and not too small. Use your intuition and make it the size that you feel is right. There is no right or wrong here.

Now take a few deep breaths in and out. Just relax for a minute or two.

How do you feel? When you took that last breath did a smile come across your face? I would love to hear from you and any stories you may have about balancing and clearing your heart chakra. Or by doing this exercise daily, has it helped you with loving yourself and others. Have you found it is easier to let go of little stuff and forgive?

Leave a comment below about your experience. I love hearing from you!

The holidays are over and you are back in the swing of things again. Are you feeling relaxed and ready to tackle the world? Or is your mantra still “I’m so stressed!”

You didn’t get a breather and life is speeding up rather than slowing down, right?

We are being stretched in a million different directions and rarely feel calm, peaceful and balanced. So what can we do when becoming a hermit isn’t an option?

Try These 3 Tips

1. Declutter Your Mind

When we talk about hoarders, we automatically think of people who collect crap in their homes.

We never consider all the junk we collect in our minds.

I bet there is a lot of stuff in your mind that you don’t need to hold onto. To-do lists. Cringe-inducing memories. Grievances against colleagues/family members/friends/fill-in-the-blank.

To-do lists are the easiest to deal with. Write it down. Once it’s recorded, you don’t need remember it. Et voila! Less clutter in your mind. (I would suggest keeping one to-do list – less stressful than trying to keep track of multiple lists)

As for the bad memories, grievances and resentments that you have stored up? Burn them! (Not literally. I don’t mean set fire to your head. ;))

Write each one down on paper. Pour in all the emotion you are feeling – don’t hold anything back. Then set fire to it (outdoors, in a safe place) and watch it go up flames. It’s gone! You won’t believe how cathartic this is.

Think of this as spring-cleaning for your peace of mind.

2. Step Back and Look At the Bigger Picture

In those moments of stress, worry or rage, take a deep breath and take a mental step back. Then ask yourself, “Is it really that big a deal? Is this life-altering?”

For example, you’re rushing to work because you have a meeting. You are stressed because the traffic/subway/bus isn’t moving and you are going to be late.

Your blood pressure rises and your anger builds and your mood gets blacker.

Been there myself. Not a comfortable feeling. Certainly the opposite of calm and relaxed.

Ask yourself, “In the grand scheme of things, is it really a big deal if I’m late? How important is this to my life overall?”. The answer puts things into perspective quickly.

It doesn’t have to be about being late; it can be about mostly anything. Stepping back and looking at the situation from a broader perspective can help reduce stress and worry and bring you back to calmness.

3. Unplug From Technology

We’ve all heard this. It’s probably the hardest thing for us to do. We all like being connected to our family, friends and community.  We don’t want to miss a thing.

But there is a reason unplugging is touted by many. It makes a huge difference to achieving a little more balance in your life.

Start small. Turn off your phones and devices for a short time and do something that brings you enjoyment or peace. Whether it’s with others (dining with friends, playing with your kids) or solitary (taking a walk or meditating), it doesn’t matter.

Doing something you really enjoy with others puts you wholly in the moment, leaving no room to worry about anything else.

A solitary activity gives you time alone with your thoughts, with no distractions, and allows you to reconnect with yourself.

Both types of activities center you. Doing one thing, and one thing only, is calming as you aren’t stressed out trying to multi-task. And you won’t miss much. That text/tweet/facebook update will wait.

These aren’t earth-shattering tricks. They are simple but effective. Keeping it simple makes them easier to implement. Try them out, you might be surprised how much they help bring you peace, calm and balance and restore your balance.

Do you have any tricks for restoring balance, peace and calm? We would love to hear them – and try them! Post a comment below, on our FaceBook page or on Twitter.

What is Reflexology?

Many have heard about it, but pass it off as if embarrassed to ask what it is.  Or others know what it is and do not realize the benefits reflexology has on their overall body and health.  So do you know what it is?

My goal for this blog is to help you understand Reflexology, its benefits to you and some history behind it all. Because by the end of this you will be calling to book an appointment! Just make sure you book with a certified reflexologist.

So let’s start with the origins of Reflexology. It actually reaches back to ancient Egypt as evidence from inscriptions noted on Ankhmahor, a physician’s tomb at Saqqara over four thousand years ago. Yep, that long ago!! There are hieroglyphics that translate to “Do not hurt me” with the practitioners reply of “I shall act so you praise me” It was determine the ancient art as practiced by early Egyptians is reflexology as we know it today.

Dr. William Fitzgerald an ear, nose and throat specialist working in Boston, London and Vienna, became familiar with zone therapy which is the precursor to modern reflexology. Dr. Fitzgerald wrote “humanity is awakening to the fact that sickness, in a large percentage of cases, is an error of body and mind” Dr. Fitzgerald discovered interesting facts, that with application of pressure to certain points it not only relieved pain but the majority of the underlying cause of illness.

Dr Joe Shelby-Riley worked hand in hand with Dr Fitzgerald to further develop zone therapy. Working with Dr. Riley was Eunice Ingham who in turn found that intermittent pressure on the feet of her patients produced benefits greater then pain relief, allowing the body to balance itself for better health. Through extensive foot reflexing and teaching the work, Eunice Ingham has become known as the Mother of Modern Reflexology, even with her passing in 1974.

So what does this all mean?

Reflexology promotes natural healing by applying pressure to specific points on the feet. These points correspond directly throughout our nervous system and relate to our internal organs and glands. Using controlled pressure, reflexology may be effective in promoting good health, alleviating pain & discomfort, preventing illness, reducing stress and increasing relaxation.

We do stand on our feet, many hours a day, yet we don’t even think about our feet. We complain about swollen feet, legs, sore backs and hips.

What do we do?

Take medications and complain. But for those who have discovered reflexology have found the secret.

Some worry about ticklish feet, but the right amount of pressure is applied to the feet, so there is no issue here. Reflexology is so relaxing you may find yourself dozing off!!

Even though Reflexologists cannot diagnosis, prescribe or treat issues, they can feel imbalances in your feet that correspond to your body and they may spend more time on these areas. This is why it is suggested to see your Reflexologist on a regular maintenance schedule. This will help maintain your overall health and help reduce illness.

Make sure you use a registered Reflexology Practitioner.  All registered practitioners will have a card to show you if you ask.  Also in Canada, there are insurance companies recognizing the benefits of reflexology and some companies are now covering reflexology.  Most teachers are now covered.  Call your insurance company to inquire.

Reflexology dates back thousands of years, but is on the rise with the amount of benefits it has to your health and affordability.

Have you ever had a reflexology session? I would love to get feedback on your session and how it has benefited you. Please leave a comment below.

Questions??? Ask me karen@channeled-wisdom.com

Imagine being happier by taking 2 minutes a day to meditate. Yep, 2 minutes only. Really. 

More and more, research is proving that a regular meditation practice lowers stress, anxiety and blood pressure levels while increasing attention, focus, calmness and a sense of peace.

While most people meditate longer than 2 minutes, even 2 minutes can help. For those two minutes you aren’t multitasking and therefore you’re giving your brain a stress break.

See? A happy making situation.

“I can’t meditate because I can never stop my thoughts.”

This is the biggest complaint I hear from people when I tell them how meditation not only keeps me grounded but helps me deal with stress.

Meditation is not about stopping your thoughts. It is about being aware of them but not engaging in them.

You will never be able to totally stop your thoughts. If you didn’t have thoughts, you wouldn’t be breathing. You would be free of stress though 😉

When a thought comes to mind, and it will, just observe it. Watch it like you would a train going by. It comes into your field of awareness and passes out of your field of awareness. Don’t engage it.

What do I mean by not engaging in the thought? For example, you are meditating and think “I have to go to the grocery store today.” Rather than diving into that thought further with “And I have to pick up bread, mayonnaise, cereal, etc.” just imagine the thought moving by. There will be a different one right behind it. Do the same for that one, too.

With practice, will get better at this and your thoughts will slow down.

If you can start and sustain a meditation practice you won’t regret it and you will be happier.

Here are 5 of my tips that I hope will help you.

  1. Don’t worry about “doing it right”. This is everyone’s worry. If you are sitting in stillness and silence, you are meditating correctly.
  1. Start small. Don’t try to meditate for 30 minutes your first time out. That’s like trying to run a marathon on your first outing. Start with 2 minutes a day. You can work up from there.
  1. Don’t beat yourself up for engaging in your thoughts. It’s going to happen. It happens to everyone. Just pull yourself out of your thought and refocus on your breathing or your mantra.
  1. Don’t worry about what others are doing. Deepak Chopra meditates for 2 hours everyday. Ha! That’s never going to be me. I experimented and learned 20 minutes is just right for me and that’s all I care about.
  1. Don’t give up! Everyone’s time is precious but if you stick with a regular practice, it will make a huge difference in your life.

Meditation Resources

There are many different types of meditation. You can sit in silence and listen to your breathing. You can silently repeat a mantra to yourself. You can focus on an image. You can listen to music. And so on.

Here are a few places to learn more about a few of the different types of meditation practices

Primordial Sound Meditation http://www.chopra.com/ccl/what-is-primordial-sound-meditation

(The Chopra Center also offers free Meditation experiences a few times a year. I’ve done many of them and highly recommend them. One of my favourites was called “Finding your Flow” and was based on the 7 Chakras.)

Mindfulness Meditation http://franticworld.com/free-meditations-from-mindfulness/

(These are free mindfulness mediations you can try. I haven’t tried them nor have I read the related book. This was a referral in Arianna Huffington’s book “Thrive”)

Your public library. Libraries usually carry a number of books and cds on mediation. You can try out several at no cost!

Do You Fear Spirits? You’re Not Alone. We Can Help.

Fear is a normal reaction

Except for babies and young children, fear is pretty much everyone’s first reaction when they encounter spirits. It certainly was for us. Knowing where it comes from is the first step in overcoming it.

Fear of the unknown

I think its fair to say that many of us fear the unknown. The first time we do or try anything, it’s a little scary because we don’t know what is going to happen or what to expect.

This applies when you first encounter a spirit. You most likely weren’t expecting it and a typical reaction is “What the heck?” And you’re scared. Not surprising at all.

Fiction helps fuel it

Writers and Hollywood have also done a great job of instilling fear of Spirit in the general populace. Amityville Horror. The Exorcist. Poltergeist. The Shining. (I’m showing my age…) The Others. Paranormal Activity. And let’s not forget all the scary stories we tell each other growing up. Doesn’t do much to make you confident that spirits are loving and kind, does it?

We all dread bad news

None of us like to get bad news. We fear it. And we fear that spirits are going to bring us bad news. We might be even be afraid that our passed loved ones are going to say something to upset us. Avoidance often becomes our choice.

Here is How You Can Overcome Your Fears:

Stop and think

If you have had visits from Spirit before or they are happening now, take a moment to think about what actually happened. Did anything bad happen? Or did you just feel a presence? Is your fear more about the fact that you were surprised and didn’t understand what was happening?

If you think about the encounter during or after, you will most likely see that the Spirit was just making it’s presence known and wasn’t doing anything bad to you. They just wanted your attention.

Remember fiction is imaginary

As for books, movies and stories about Spirit, it makes great entertainment but is hardly based in reality. The purpose is to scare us silly, not represent the truth. The truth is that spirits are not out to get us or do harmful things to us. They simply want to connect and communicate with us. Remember, its fiction. [fusion_builder_container hundred_percent=”yes” overflow=”visible”][fusion_builder_row][fusion_builder_column type=”1_1″ background_position=”left top” background_color=”” border_size=”” border_color=”” border_style=”solid” spacing=”yes” background_image=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” padding=”” margin_top=”0px” margin_bottom=”0px” class=”” id=”” animation_type=”” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_direction=”left” hide_on_mobile=”no” center_content=”no” min_height=”none”][Maybe a lot of these storytellers are using their medium to work through their own fears 😉 ].

Ask for highest guidance and love to come through

When we channel Spirit, we always ask for the highest love and guidance to come through for our clients. You can do this, too, if you are making the connection yourself (see Karen’s blog 4 Tips to Meet with Your Spirit Guide). This ensures that the messages you receive are of the highest intent and therefore there is nothing to fear.

Know you will only get messages you need

When spirits communicate with you, they are doing so because you need the message they have to impart. Spirit knows exactly what you need to hear at the moment of connection and they will never give you information that you are not capable of handling and processing.

Most of the time, your messages will be positive and filled with love. Yes, I said “most” of the time. Does this mean that you might get bad news? It is a possibility. One of my clients put it this way, “Sometimes we get what we need and not what we want.”

If you do get sad news, odds are it is something that you are already know and it is given to you to prepare you. If you do receive such a message it is because you can handle it.

For example, when my Dad was ill, I received messages that his death was close. I knew he wasn’t going to live a long time but having this confirmed by Spirit really made it sink in. It wasn’t happy news but it prepared me for his passing. Also, had I not had these messages, I may not have made as much effort as I did to spend as much time with him as I could before he died.

Know that spirits are not here to harm you

Please remember, the spirit world is not here to terrorize you. Rather, spirits and the messages they bring are here to help you on this journey we call life. They just want to connect and give you a message. You can let go of the fear.

I hope this has helped you overcome any fears of Spirit you may have had. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. We love getting questions from our readers. You can post them below or email them to support@channeled-wisdom.com.

We encourage you to share any experiences you’ve had with Spirit with readers. Especially if you started out from a place of fear and had it turn into one of joy.

Yes, Conan could be your Spirit Guide. “How can a fictional character be my Spirit Guide?” you ask? Read on to find out.

Spirit Guides, like all spirits, are light in their true form.

There are various belief systems in the world, however, what seems to be universal is the belief that when you die, you “go into” or “return to” the light. That is because our spirits are formed of light and when we leave our bodies, we return to the source of light.

Spirit can take on any form it wants.

While light in their true form, spirits are able to take on any form they wish. They do this to be recognizable to you. For example, if you want to speak with your Mother who has passed away, she could come through just as a bright light but its more likely she will come through in the body she had when she was your Mother so you know that it is her.

To help you, your Spirit Guide will take on a form that has significance for you.

I have a guide that is a Native American Medicine Man. He takes this form because I knew him as such in a past life and because he is also here to help me with healing. One of Karen’s guides is Archangel Rafael. Archangel Rafael is known worldwide for appearing as a green light. He always appears this way to Karen. This is how she was first able to identify him and how she knows whom she is working with during a session.

And, yes, Spirit Guides will turn up as fictional characters.

If Conan has turned up as your guide, it may be because you need a figure that helps you feel safe and protected. Or because you need a strong supporter. Or it may be that you are interested in the time period he is associated with. Don’t worry too much about the form your Spirit Guide takes. Simply enjoy the connection, guidance and love.

Occasionally, Spirit Guides’ appearances change over time.

What do I mean by this? Imagine if Jesus showed up the very first time you connected to your Guide. You might be intimidated, overwhelmed or afraid to connect again. To avoid this, Jesus will turn up in a form you are comfortable with, such as an animal. When you reach a point where you will accept him as your guide, he will emerge in his true form.

Do you know who your Guide is? We would love it if you would share with us. We are always interested in learning about other people’s Guides and I’m sure our other readers are, too. Please post your story below, on FaceBook or Twitter or email me at lorraine@channeled-wisdom.com.

You followed Karen’s 4 Tips to Meet Your Spirit Guide and received some messages. BUT you’re unsure if the messages came from your Spirit Guide or yourself. So how do you tell the difference? Here are 5 signs to help you distinguish where the message came from.

1. Your message was positive.

If your message was of love and pride, than I can assure you that was your Spirit Guide speaking to you. Our Guides love us very much and they are our biggest cheerleaders. They will tell us often how much they love us and how proud they are of us. And think about it – how often do you tell yourself you love yourself and that you’re proud of yourself? More often than not the messages we give ourselves are negative. (And we need to STOP that!

2. You don’t normally talk that way.

If the message contained words you don’t normally use or some you don’t recognize, then it was your Guide. (I’ve had to look words up in the dictionary!) If the style of speaking was different than yours or the pacing of the message was slower or faster than you normally speak, then it was your Spirit Guide.

3. The message was accompanied by a physical sensation of some sort.

A lot of people feel a tingling sensation on the crown of their heads when connecting with their Spirit Guides. (This is the Crown Chakra which connects you to higher consciousness and awareness.) Maybe you felt energy flowing in your hands. Or a drop in temperature. Or a rush of love through your heart centre.  Sometimes, people receive a scent out of nowhere. If you had some sort of physical sensation, this is a manifestation of your Guide’s presence.

4. Your imagination was never this good!

Maybe you saw yourself in another lifetime fighting off a dragon. Or saw an animal and it spoke to you. Or maybe you received a message that you need to visit a city you have never, ever thought about visiting.  This is not your imagination. This is your Guide communicating with you.

5. The tone of voice didn’t sound like yours.

If you hear the message in a voice that doesn’t sound like yours at all – you don’t even need to me to say it. 😉

You might have an element of disbelief when you first start communicating with your Spirit Guide(s). Karen and I did, too. Everyone does. When you are questioning where the message came from, ask yourself if any of these 5 signs appeared. If one or more did, you can trust the message was from your Guide.

With practice, you will gain confidence in your ability and be better able to distinguish where the messages are coming from.
