Restraint 3:00 p.m.

I am happy to report that now that I am doing these guided writings on a semi regular basis, my Spirit Guides have stopped waking me up in the middle of the night. It is so much easier to live our lives if we follow spirits lead and don’t make them push us. It only took me 48 year to wrap my brain around that, and even still I question them sometimes. I am hoping to get to a point where I stop questioning and just do!

I had several topics on my mind today, but they say no. So I ask, “What is today’s topic? And I sit quietly and wait for the answer to come through…

Spirit Guides: Today’s topic is restraint. (Here I go thinking great, another lesson I haven’t figured out yet, I am going to let that go down my grounding cord so I can go on…)  Restraint is a very important habit to develop. Allowing yourself to have the awareness of where to keep your mouth shut and where to open it is a very important part of the human process. It is true that you cannot make someone feel bad by what you say. But you can be sensitive to things they are not yet ready to see or learn about themselves even if you see clearly that they need to learn it. This does not mean not to stand up for yourself, do let people know when they cross boundaries with you. It means you need to get clarity within yourself if someone is ready to hear something about themselves or not. For example: You have a friend that always talks to loud no matter where you are, even at the movies and you want to tell them to tone down their voice. This may be a person who has a very hard time allowing themselves to talk at all (whether it looks like it on the surface or not to you) and the only way they can get words out is by force which makes their  voice loud. If you tell them they have to be quiet when they talk, it may shut them down completely. When you have a issue with someone’s behavior, take a moment to ask your inner self, or your spirit guides theses questions:

1. Is this person ready to hear what I want to tell them?
2. What can I do to be able to allow this behavior without it bothering me?

The gift for you if you cannot share, is raising your capacity to be all loving and allow them to be who they are without being upset.

12:16 p.m. I am sure that everyone has the kind of spiritual support group that they need. I hope you can take a minute and check in to see what your group is.

I have made a lot on changes in my life around work/career because I was guided to do so by my Spiritual Support Group, (my spirit guides) They made it very clear that it was time to let go of my gift basket company and go full throttle with readings, teaching, and  guided meditation CD’s. I agreed to give up the gift basket company on their promise of financial support. Well, it looks like my idea of financial support and my Spirit Guides are different. I have been a little miffed that the money I think I need to go further with advertising and mass producing the CD’s has not come in. I decided to have a talk with my Spirit Guides to find out what is going on.

My question: Where’s that support you promised?

Spirit Guides: You are so supported it is not even funny, you have set up a phenomenal support group that we have shown you, you have a guide for marketing, legal, advertising, writing, and every other area you need a guide for, even one that makes you take time for yourself. There is a grand design for the difference you and the others working with you are making in the world, and the design has many players and many lives’s to reach. If you had the money to do the things you want you would put your energy into that instead of doing what you need to do right now. The time you think you have to get stuff done now, is actually time for you to rest and get ready for the ride of your life. The world is shifting into a new level of spirituality and everyone is starting to feel the change. Some feel it as uncomfortable, things may not be going as well as they would like and some find they can be peaceful. You are finding the peace, it is not stagnation, it is a time for you to be quiet and go within. Go put your feet in the ocean, you have seen that many times in readings for others and knew it was for you too. Give yourself permission to do nothing and know that you are supported to the fullest for your highest and best interest!

9:45 a.m. Time to write.

Spirit Guides: When you get stuck and can’t move forward, how can you figure out what is sticking you so that you can move on? Sometimes it feels like there is glue on your feet and you can’t move, some of those days seem like they would be better off spent in bed. Sometimes, you feel like you are in slow motion and moving through mud. Days like these can be very draining on your energy.  When you come to the realization that you are not moving or not moving freely, take a minute to sit down, close your eyes and talk to your spiritual support group. In your minds eye see or imagine a place to meet your spiritual guides. See or imagine that you are in that place and invite your guides to join you. The more you do this, the easier it will become to know and understand what they are telling you. They know what is going on. Ask them to show you what is holding you up. The more questions you ask the more answers you will receive. You might want to make a list of questions to ask before you sit down to talk to them. Your spirit guides get huge growth out of helping you, you are doing them a favor by calling on them. You might be surprised by some of the answers you get.

The Truth WILL Set You Free

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?

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!

My Finding Peace & Harmony Meditation CD or MP3 download, teaches how to use a grounding cord to release unneeded and unwanted energy.

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.

You can be guided through working with your Spirit Guides and Angels in my Guided Meditation CD or MP3 Communicating With Your Spirit Guides & Angels that you can find at  www.journeyintothespirit.com , if you check it out, I would love your feedback!!!

4:06 p.m.

Sorry it has been so long, we went out of town for a few days for my husband’s job. I read part of Doreen Virtues, Goddesses and Angles books while on our trip. I derived a lot of great spiritual information from it. She tells a story about getting upset when we feel we are in need, and that if we can realize that we are not in need, and can look to see that we are really o.k. we won’t get upset, and that if we can be aware when others are upset, that they are just feeling in need, it will help us understand them better.  She also talks about loving everyone unconditionally.

On the flight home, I had a woman sitting next to me with a neck rest and head phones in place who was leaned up against the window with her eyes closed when we took our seats. My first thought when I saw her was that is a big girl and she is partly in my seat. (Her being in my seat did not seem fair to me, but I realized she had no where else to put herself.)  As our five hour flight continued, she would stir a little and shift herself to be more in my chair so that she could be more slanted to lean on the window and be more comfortable. Needless to say, this upset me, I would move over closer to my husband and decide to enjoy being closer to him. About the fourth shift I was pissed. I asked myself why I was so mad. Myself said, “This is my chair and it is not fair of her to be taking some of my space.” My mind jumped to Doreen Virtue’s book and her saying that we get upset when we feel we are in need.  I realized that I was feeling in need, that I did not feel I had enough of what was mine. As I looked at the situation, I knew that I had enough room, it was not that uncomfortable. The other thing fresh on my mind was loving everyone  unconditionally, no matter who they are and what they are doing. (Which is not as easy as you might think.) So I asked myself, if this were a friend or family member that I loved, what would I do in this situation. I knew that I would move over even further to make room for them to rest. So I decided to work on trying to love everyone equally and move over to give her more room. Having Doreen Virtue’s story fresh on my mind, helped me with this situation. I asked my Spirit Guides how I can keep myself in the awareness of seeing when I am feeling need and continuing to love everyone unconditionally. Here is what they said:

Spirit Guides: We can help you remember to make the effort to love everyone unconditionally; all you have to do is ask us to remind you. We can also help you remember to be aware of your feeling of need, again, just ask. It is our job to help you with your spiritual growth. We can help you with anything you want, simply ASK.
