It is Monday morning and I spent most of the weekend at a seminar learning how to remember our out of body experiences. I was surprised to find that it was mostly energy work, expanding and working with our chakras and aura. I would like my guides to give me some more information of why our energy body is so important…
Spirit Guides: Being conscious is being aware of source, connecting with that thing that created you. It also means connecting with your energy body since your energy body is always connected to source, even if your mental and physical bodies are not. As you become more aware of your energy body, (your chakas and aura) you are able to clear any blocks that have made their way into your energy body to have a stronger and more reliable connection to source. Working with your energy body can be done in a number of ways. As you learned this weekend Lexa, one of the simplest things that you can do on your own is to sit quietly, will your energy to pull up from your body to the top of your head and create a huge ball of energy. Will your ball of energy to move all through your body down to your feet. Then bring the ball of energy up to the top of your head again. Will the ball of energy to continue moving up and down your body faster and faster until your body vibrates. This will break lose unwanted and unneeded energy that has stuck to you. The vibration may not come at first, just keep practicing. Have fun with this energy work. Once you are comfortable bouncing your energy this way with your eyes closed. Try it with your eyes open, standing up and sitting down. Move your energy while you are in line at the grocery or at your desk at work. Try taking a couple minutes 20 times a day for three months to do this and you will find huge shifts in your life. Your spiritual world will open even bigger, your manifesting will happen more easily, your self confidence will soar and your relationships will get better.
I am reading Deborah King’s book “The Truth Heals, What you hide can hurt you. ”I am impressed by her as a healer, a writer and a human. Deborah came from sexual abuse that she hid for many years. She was actually taught as a child to lie! She points out that keeping something painful hidden, causes pain. It causes our energy centers to shut down, which then causes disease. I know not everyone has had such a traumatic situation in their lives as Debra, but reading her book made me wonder if many people are sitting on other issues to protect themselves or others, that are causing them to be sick? I am hoping my Spirit Guides will expound on this topic….
Spirit Guides: We find that many people are hiding things that they feel guilty about. Things that they had no responsibility in making happen, like being molested as a child and feeling or being told that it is their fault. The hidden item can be less severe such as someone you loved telling you that you are stupid. Covering up a lie can cause its own kind of pain and disease. Quite often, they don’t even realize they have buried the situation, because they buried it deep enough to not remember consciously. However, your subconscious and your energy field always knows, everything you do or have done to you is stored in both places. This information causes blocks that keep your energy from flowing properly, which keeps you from being healthy emotionally, physically and spiritually.
If you are reading this, it means that you are looking to advance your life on all or some of those levels, and that giving yourself permission to talk about the lie in a safe place, like a therapist or healer’s office (or to a best friend who will not judge) will help you let the lie out, heal and advance in the areas where you want to grow. If you have “that feeling” that something happened to you that you have buried, the best thing you can do is to decide to allow the “thing” to surface. Giving the thing permission to surface will allow it to bubble up for you. It may come all at once or it may come in little pieces. However it comes to you, please remember that you have your spiritual support group to help you understand, heal and make peace with the situation.
Lexa, you know that we bring things like this into your life when you need to look at something similar. Getting you to Debra King’s workshop and having her book land in your lap the way it did was no easy task for us since you are fighting seeing what happened when you were a child. We know that you know you are safe to be able to allow it to surface so that you can make peace with it, move it out of your energy field and put it to rest. We see the tears running down your face and know that you know we are on to something here. If we did not love you so much, we would not be pushing you look at this. Facing this will make you a stronger more centered person in all areas of your life.
Thank you to all of you who made it to my Spirit Guides & Angels Workshop. I was truly honored by your presence and hope that you continue to be in communication with your Spirit Guides. I would love to hear your experiences of connecting with your Guides and with what happens with them in the future!
My Guides have been poking at me to sit down at the keyboard and let them talk about giving back…
Spirit Guides: We know that even if you are not yet finding everything you want in your life, that you do see some wonderful creations, gifts and miracles. We would like for you to connect with how good it feels to have something you want come to you and ask yourselves, “How can I pass this feeling along to someone else?” What are you doing to give back to the universe that is so good to you? This does not mean that you need to give up hours and hours of your time to volunteer at a soup kitchen. If volunteering for something like that calls you, of course, enjoy spending your time volunteering that way. We are also talking about simple every day things, making a call to someone you know is lonely, taking soup to a sick friend, or sending $20 to someone you know who needs it. This giving back should come from the heart, not doing so that you get good stuff in return, and not bragging about what you do to help. See what happens when you give back and keep it just between you and God. You will feel better about your life as you become a silent Good Samaritan. What can you do today to make a difference for someone else?
I intended to do this first thing this morning. It is already 3:50 p.m. Where did the day go? Let’s see what my Spirit Guides have to share today? (My husband’s three pound Chihuahua, Maveric is sitting on my lap “helping”).
Spirit Guides: We want to talk today about being grounded and present in your body. The human experience was created to learn love from a physical perspective. If you are not grounded and present in your body, you cannot have the full benefits of the physical body experience. How much time do you spend day dreaming, or thinking about the past or future. If you are in the past or future, you cannot be in the present. Being in nature is the best way to ground yourself to this beautiful earth you live on. We have suggested to you Lexa to lean on a tree, since trees are so well grounded. She responded with, oh my, that would make me a tree hugger, like it is a bad thing. Being a “tree hugger” helps you be grounded more quickly than any other technique we know of. Spend some time in nature this weekend. Get your bare feet on the grass, earth or sand. Lay in the sun, your body will absorb much needed vitamins and you will raise your brains serotonin levels. Join the other tree huggers of the world and hug a tree, see just how quickly you feel a deeper connection to the earth and yourself, see just why being a tree hugger is a great thing.
Note from Lexa: Oh, they crack me up. Yes I have had that message before many times. Now when I walk our dogs, I lean, very casually, on different trees around the neighborhood. It should look like it is a very normal think to do, but since I have to climb into planters and go way off the sidewalk to get to them I probably don’t look as normal as I want to. (I am o.k. with not being normal; I just don’t want to be locked up for being crazy.)
RAIN in So Cal again! How does that keep happening? I am really glad it is not snow!!!
I had a reading with a client yesterday and my guides shared some interesting information about meditation. They told her that not meditating was like not having company meetings. They said that if you don’t hold regular meetings to keep everyone in your company on the same page, the company will not do well. If you don’t meditate to keep everyone in your spiritual support group on the same page, you will not do well. Life will be more of a struggle. Meditating just like a company meeting gets the whole working together much more efficiently. Let’s see what my guides want to add…
Spirit Guides: Meditating really is a very simple habit to get into. Start with 10 minutes per day, if you can set aside 10 minutes per day at the same time, even better. Meditation does not have to be hard or boring. You can attach a grounding cord and give yourself 10 minutes of quiet time to allow stress to fall down your grounding cord. Or you can go into meditation with a question and listen, watch or allow yourself to know the answer. Everyone experiences spirits differently, some see in their minds eye, some feel spirit; some simply know spirit is there. There is no right or wrong. Whatever your experience, it is always a beautiful connection to spirit. After you get in the habit of your special time with spirit each day, you will notice how much more peace and ease you find in your life. You will notice that things you want come to you much more quickly and effortlessly. So, take time for your meetings with spirit, we promise you will be glad you do!
It is Monday morning and my husband and I have made it a whole 6 days being empty nesters. We are enjoying behaving like teenagers madly in love. Life is grand. (Except for my car being in the shop.)
Spirit Guides: We know it feels good to feel good. Seize happy moments; hold them in your heart and bring them up when times are not-so-good. Bringing those happy feelings up will help the not- so-good feel better. It will be easier to get through those not -so-good times. We also challenge you to look deeper into the bad times when you are in them, to see the good that is coming out of the situation, or to see the good that could come out of the situation. I know we have said it before, but some of the best lessons and growth come out of the not-so-good times. Try taking a few minutes to sit quietly and let the good times that have drifted away come back. As they come back, ask yourself what you can do to hold the good times even closer to your heart, so that those memories stay fresh all the time. The more you put your attention on the good times, the more good times there will be.
Ha Ha, I got to go to the Dentist today, I know you are all jealous! I am looking forward to seeing what my guides have to say today…
Spirit Guides: Good morning Lexa and all. It has been a few days and we miss talking with you. Lexa we enjoyed going to the Conscious Life Expo with you and are happy to see the growing number of people becoming Conscious of Spirit. We know we have talked before about connecting with Spirit on a regular basis and just want to send out a nudge to remind you to take a few minutes a day to sit with your Spirit Guides in meditation. By connecting with Spirit in a meditative state, you clear energy to help others feel the connection or at least start to open to their connection. The connection with Spirit is individual as well as universal. As you connect with spirit you connect with the all. You connect to the oneness that keeps every being connected. If you imagine a huge spider web with energy running through each thread, you can get an idea of the connectedness. As you look at that spider web, see where you fit in this huge consciousness and see how bright your energy looks compared to other beings on the web. The brighter your light, the more helpful you are being at connecting the whole. You can meditate, pray for peace or send love through your heart out into the world to make your light brighter. We urge you to give to yourself and to others by taking time to make a difference. You will be amazed at how much easier your life becomes.
It is Wednesday morning and I slept in a little since I teach class on Tuesday nights. For my students who read this, thanks for the great classes. You guys are awesome, you make my life so much better!
Spirit Guides: We want to talk today about what you are doing to prepare for 2012 and the years that follow. People will experience the more open spiritual energy of 2012 on different levels, depending on their own level of spiritual connectedness. A large amount of the veil between earth and spirit will be removed, since humanity on the whole is ready for a deeper connection and is at a point they can handle it. The more you are connected before the shift, the more you will connect with the shift to move to your next level of connection with spirit. Here are some things you can do to deepen your connection:
Read or listen to books on spirituality
Sit quietly to connect with your spiritual support group and talk to them about your future
Spend time with your favorite spiritual people, by surrounding yourself with high vibration people you automatically match their vibration to move yours up
Do some philanthropy work, as you do this you bring spirit closer to you, you become more of what spirit is
Do something fun with your human body, it helps you be more connected with the earth to be able to feel the shift
Try something new, stepping out of your comfort zone helps you own more of who you are
Bottom line, the deeper your spiritual connection now, the way deeper your connection will be in 2012.
Note from Lexa: My favorite spiritual book is You Are The Answer, by Michael Tamura. Everyone I know who has read it, loves it. You can purchase You Are The Answer at Amazon.com.
My dumplings were a hit; I think my family liked them better than the stew. It is so nice to sit down to a leisurely family meal every now and then. It seems like it gets harder and harder to plan a meal around everyone’s schedules.
I tend to feel that I am always pushing myself to be better, to do better, and to do more. And then I am frustrated when I don’t get it all done. My guides keep saying be o.k. with who you are now. Be o.k. with where you are now. I wonder if I was o.k. with whom and where I am at this moment, what would motivate me to move forward. How would I spend my time, how would I pay my bills, how would I make a difference to others?
Spirit Guides: Being o.k. with where you are now really means accepting yourself for who you are, not who you think you want to be. This does not mean you will not continue to have goals and ideas of things to create and people to spend time with, it simply means you will be more content doing it. Being in the moment, enjoying it, treasuring it, no matter how big or small the occurrence is the most important part of the human experience. If you are not in the moment, but thinking and planning out your next steps, you cannot get the most out of the experience you are in. Once you accept that you are good enough right now, believe it or not, it will make it even easier to reach the goals and dreams you are after. Take an inventory of your day, was it nice or are you just glad it is over? Ask yourself what you can do to enjoy your day even more; the more you enjoy it the easier it is to be in the moment, to be o.k. with whom and what you are.
43 How to stop being let down by other people.
At one time or another everyone feels let down by people in their lives. I started thinking that we can’t be let down if we don’t have expectations of them. However, how the heck to we keep from having expectations.
Spirit Guides: You are on the right track here. There are times when you need other people to help you in your life, and quite often, humans do not ask for help. They expect the people in their lives to know what they need and expect them to meet their needs. So for starters, let people know when you do have expectations or they will fail and you will be hurt.
When you do have an expectation that is not serving you, one thing to do is to look at what need you have that is not being met and why you think you need this need met through a particular person. As you look at this need, you may start to realize that this is something you already hold within you and may find you don’t need outside help at all.
Being able to let go of expectations and except people the exact way they are at the exact moment is possible. You will have a hard time letting go of your expectations of others if you think or say things like, “I would never treat them that way” or “my friend Suzy would never act like that” you have moved into comparing and judging. Letting judgment go, will help you let the expectation go. Whenever you have an expectation, you can tell yourself that you are deciding not to have any expectations for this person and if they do something more than the normal, see it as a gift.You can use your grounding cord to send the expectation down, or put the expectation in a rose and destroy the rose. Making the conscious decision to let the expectation go is the first step that will lead into less and less expectations and away from further disappointments.
It is cold and rainy here is sunny southern California. I have a big pot of beef stew on the stove smelling great while I let my guides give us some new info… (I am going to try my hand at dumplings on top of the stew when I am finished here.)
