Intuition: Our Soul Information Retrieval System

by Leave a Comment

Intuition is an inner knowingness originating within our souls. The knowledge we acquired in all our past lifetimes is stored within our souls. Every experience and every lesson we learned adds to our storehouses of information. This information can be called upon to help us in situations we face each day.

Soul Information Retrieval System

Our intuition, or the soul information retrieval system, sends us alerts through inner urgings about situations in order to direct us on paths that are best for us and all concerned. Coupled with this knowledge is the guidance we receive from the Other Side. Listening and paying attention, also known as being in tune with oneself, brings awareness of the messages from the soul and the Other Side. Our Heavenly Support Team, which includes God, loved ones in spirit, the angels, past spiritual masters, and more, provide us with daily guidance.

Pay Attention to Physical Reactions to Distinguish the Truth

Intuition helps us to distinguish the truth in situations. It is the inner voice that gives us the impression or feeling that a situation may not be right or may be out of sync. It can also confirm when a situation is perfect for us or a great match for our life paths. The gift of intuition is a psychic ability that is seated in the solar plexus chakra, the energy center located in the midsection of the body below the rib cage and three inches above the belly button.

When messages are being sent by our intuitive gifts, they are often accompanied by physical reactions. For example, you may experience a sinking feeling or the contraction of the stomach muscles upon receiving news. This “gut reaction” is an involuntary instinctual response triggered by the intuition to indicate a warning of possible danger to the self or others. It may also be accompanied by a quickening of the pulse and a quick surge of energy that starts in the stomach area and flows outward to all points on the body and dissipates. On the opposite end of the spectrum, when you receive positive news you may experience a sense of happiness, ease, and a temporary lightness accompanied by the relaxing of your muscles. This physical reaction signifies a release of tension associated with the circumstances. In addition, you may feel tingling or goose bumps on the back of your arm, traveling across your back, and finishing on the back of your other arm. This is what I refer to as a validation of information sent or received. It is a confirmation that the information being shared is the truth.

How Direct Guidance from Guides and Beings in Heaven Differs from Intuitive Messages

When guidance is being provided through the gift of intuition, there is a physical reaction accompanied by a feeling or inner knowingness about the information received. When beings in spirit provide guidance, it is received using one or all the earthly or extrasensory senses. For instance, through my gift of clairsentience or extrasensory feeling, I receive “yes” or “no” answers through tinging on my left or right hands on the tops of my fingers. I discovered this when I was going to make a phone call to a potential significant other. Every time I picked up the phone to call, the fingers on my right hand started to tingle strongly, much like the feeling of pins and needles, but in a specific location on the tops of my fingers. This happened every time I reached for the phone to call this person. I took that as a message not to call. I also asked my guys and gals in heaven for confirmation that it was them giving me the message, and the fingers on my left hand would tingle as an indication of “yes.” As it turns out, my guys and gals were right in preventing the call because that person was not the best match for me.

To Heed or Not to Heed

When it comes to listening to your intuition or messages from above, you have the free will to do whatever you wish; however, there is a note of caution for when you decide to ignore the messages you are receiving. Ignoring them usually results in less than desirable results. The help you are receiving from your intuition and your guys and gals in heaven, otherwise known as your Heavenly Support Team, is meant for your highest good, which you may not understand at the time. I know from experience that heeding messages usually ends up with better results for me, even if the direction I am being guided towards is not the path I personally thought was best at the time. We do not always know and see everything clearly, and it sure is wonderful to have our own internal soul information retrieval system, as well as a team of heavenly guides to help navigate us to safety in challenging situations. My advice is to listen well to the guidance. Our souls embedded with information from past lives and our current soul contract, and our guys and gals in heaven, know our true paths much better than we do because they have direct access to the maps of our life plans created in heaven before we were born.

Wishing you the best with your journey!

Uplift Your Soul with Easy Meditations

by Leave a Comment

In today’s world, it is easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of every day life. The responsibilities pile up, demanding our attention, leaving little time to relax and unwind. It is important to our overall well-being to find the time to take a break from the mundane tasks of the day, as well as any worries and stress that have accumulated. Meditation, no matter how brief, can uplift our souls by providing our minds, bodies, and spirits with a recharge that can boost our productivity, creativity, and energy.

Meditation comes in many forms. Many people think meditation means sitting in silence trying to still your thoughts or chanting “Om” while sitting cross-legged on the floor. These are forms of meditation that can be very useful; however, it takes a lot of practice to learn how to clear your mind of thoughts, and even when you do, it may only last for seconds at a time. 

The forms of meditation I would like to share are easier to fulfill and may also bring much more enjoyment. Any time we let go of worries and concerns and turn our focus toward pleasant activities, we are meditating. For instance here are some of my favorite ways to meditate:

  • Breathe – Taking a few deep breaths in through the nose and out through the mouth while concentrating on your breath is a simple way to meditate. You can also place your hands over your heart as you do this and release any thoughts you have about your concerns and worries. Concentrate on your breath and your heart. As you breathe, your breaths should sound like the ocean waves.
  • Nature – Enjoy time in nature. Go for a walk, hike, or jog. Breathe in the air, listen to the birds, and try to fully immerse yourself in the beauty of nature. Taking a break near water, such as the ocean, a lake, or a creek, can bring peace to your soul.
  • Exercise – Get your body moving. Focusing on fitness helps to get the blood flowing and releases happy endorphins. When you add music to the mix, you can be transported by the tunes as your body moves. Dancing is a wonderful way to meditate.
  • Creativity – Draw, paint, and create. Take your mind off your worries and concerns by creating a work of art
  • Gardening – Planting flowers to beautify your surroundings or vegetables to provide homegrown food. A lot of personal satisfaction can be achieved from growing your own plants. It is wonderful to care for them and to watch them grow. This not only is a method of meditation, but also assists the earth and helps you to ground your energies.
  • Reading, Watching a Movie, or Playing a Game – Reading and watching movies has a way of transporting us to another world in healthy ways. A family fun night with movies or games also helps with bonding and the creation of positive memories.
  • Energy Healing or Massage – Reiki energy healing is a wonderful form of meditation that cleanses your energy centers and provides positive benefits for your mind, body, and soul. Treating yourself to a massage helps you to relax and unwind, and may include additional benefits when you include seaweed wraps, facials, and more. Self-care equates to a healthier you.
  • Cleaning – This one might not sound like fun; however, I have found that immersing myself in a task such as cleaning gives my mind a rest as I concentrate on the tasks at hand. Plus, organizing your belongings may create a more relaxed space.
  • Spend Time with Loved Ones – When we take the time to play with children or pets, or spend time with those we love, it can be a form a meditation, as long as we are living in the moment and letting go of our stress and worries. Have fun and enjoy the people you love by participating in activities that bring joy to all of you.
  • Meditation Journeys or Guided Meditation – A guided meditation is one that can take you on a journey in your mind to help you relax and unwind, to meet up with your loved ones in spirit and the angels, and more. You can participate in person or by listening to a recording.

As you can see, there are many ways in which you can relax and unwind. It is important to give yourself time for self-care and reenergizing your mind, body, and spirit. Do your best to incorporate some form of mediation into your day.

Support We Receive from the Other Side

by 8 Comments

Statue of Archangel Gabriel with his horn

In this challenging world we live in, there may be times when we feel as though we do not have the support we need. It can be a lonely feeling which can feed on itself, making the situation seem worse. All of us have experienced the sting of betrayal or the pain of loss in relationships. This does not mean we are not supported or loved. We have an entire team of spiritual beings who help us every day with our lives. They are our Heavenly Support Teams, which includes God, the Archangels, past spiritual masters (e.g., Buddha, Mother Mary, etc.), spirit guides, Guardian Angels, and our loved ones in spirit. Whether we are aware of or recognizing their presence, they are there for us and will continue to be throughout our lives.

Our Loved Ones in Spirit

When our loved ones in spirit cross over into Heaven, they are still connected to us through the hearts of our spirits. They love to send us signs to let us know they are still in existence, still connected with us, and that they still love and support us. Our loved ones in spirit can and do help us with our lives when they can. They do it with the approval of God and the Archangels because their actions and divine intervention cannot interrupt or disrupt the lessons we need to complete for our souls in this lifetime. Often, loved ones in spirit volunteer to become Guardian Angels for us and our families.

The Role of Guardian Angels

When we are born, we are assigned guardian angels who watch over our lives. Their assistance can come at the time of our most dire need, such as in a car accident in which they protect us from physical harm or in more minor moments when they prevent us from making mistakes that could bring us more harm than good. Often, our loved ones in spirit volunteer to become Guardian Angels who join with those already assigned to us. To do this, they need to learn everything about us, even the events they were not privy to in life. They do this not to be nosy, but because they need to understand what motivates our actions and reactions. Our free will decisions govern our lives. In moments of need, they need to anticipate how we may react to help us in the best way possible. Again, their divine intervention can only be applied when it does not interfere with life lessons.

Spirit Guides Help in the Background

Our spirit guides, who are also assigned to us at birth, may or may not make their presence known to us. We have at least one who is there to spiritually guide us through our lives. They usually remain in the background. Their jobs are to positively influence or guide us in spiritual matters of the soul. Spirit guides play a role with the intuitive impressions we receive as they help send signals from our souls which alert us to positive and negative situations that we need to be aware of.

Past Spiritual Masters We are Drawn Towards

Throughout the world, there are many spiritual and religious practices which highlight the lives of people who had a strong spiritual influence while living or after they died. These special beings, who have since crossed over into Heaven, often act as guides, helpers, or saviors to those on Earth. For example, in the Catholic religion, there are saints who are credited with living a spiritual life and for providing miracles after they have passed. They are an example of past spiritual masters. Spiritual and religious teachings and experiences you have been drawn toward may also help draw you toward specific past spiritual masters. They are there to help you, regardless of your spiritual or religious beliefs. You can call on past spiritual masters for assistance as you would with God or the Archangels as they all work together. You may have a special prayer or mantra you like to use to call on their assistance; however, it is not necessary as they understand your requests and gratitude when expressed from the heart and soul using your thoughts.

Archangels Tasked with Helping Humankind

The Archangels have been tasked with helping humankind with their lifetimes. They are the keepers of our soul contracts which define which lessons we need to learn for our souls in each lifetime we experience. The Archangels are responsible for the orchestration of events which help us fulfill the lessons we agreed to in our soul contracts for this lifetime. They are capable of being in multiple places at once and employ the assistance of other orders of angels to help us with our lives. To ask them for their assistance, there is no need for special prayers or mantras. Using your thoughts, talk to them and ask for assistance. Treat them as you would a best friend and be sure to thank them for their help. The Archangels are there for everyone, regardless of spiritual or religious beliefs. If you do not know who they are, it helps to learn more about them as their influence and assistance in our lives is powerful. As a note, if you are seeing repeated signs or references to a particular Archangel (or past spiritual master), it is their way of letting you know they are around you and want you to get to know them.

God’s Presence

God, who oversees all of existence, is also there for us. God is not some far away, untouchable being who dispenses out rewards and punishments. God is our best friend. God understands the troubles we go through and is there for us through it all, even if it does not always feel that way. If God intervened every time we experienced challenges, we would never grow as souls. What we learn through the lessons we agreed to in this lifetime is one of our reasons for being here. Falling down and getting back up is part of that, as is experiencing love in all its forms and triumphs. Talk to God as you would a best friend. There is more understanding that comes from God than you may realize. This lifetime is not about punishments or testing. It is about learning lessons for our souls, which means experiencing the positive and negative. The challenges push us to grow at a more accelerated rate. We can allow those situations to bring us down or we take the best from them and move forward. The choices are ours as free will is a divine gift given to us to navigate our way through life and beyond.

So Many Helpers from the Other Side

We are not alone on our journeys through life. We have so many helpers from the Other Side who assist us. They help orchestrate events, provide support when we need it, and provide proof that there is more to life than what appears to be. They help us with the lessons we agreed to for the growth of our souls, which means we have challenges to help get us there, as well as triumphs. Our free will decisions govern the paths we take; however, we do not walk that path alone. We have those we love here on Earth, as well as in Heaven, to be our companions and guides.

Blessings to you!

Managing Grief during the Holiday Season

by Leave a Comment

Angel in Heaven

The holiday season is a time of celebration and joy with friends and family. For those who recently lost loved ones or who are still deep in the grieving process, it can be painful as they remember times past when loved ones were there, as well as sadness for the loss of their physical presence during the current holiday. There are wistful thoughts of how a loved one in spirit would have enjoyed a particular activity or laughed at the antics of our relatives or friends. It is a bittersweet time of sadness when the world around us is partaking in traditions designed to bring people together and celebrate the love we share with one another. For those who are grieving, it can feel as though there is a giant hole in our hearts as we keenly miss the presence of those who have crossed over into Heaven.

The First Year

When my father crossed over into Heaven several years ago, the first year was the hardest. Each milestone event, birthday, holiday, and family celebration brought a reminder of his passing. My heart would ache with the loss, even though I knew he was watching over me and my family from Heaven. He had passed in the month of September, which meant the holidays were right around the corner. I was not in the mood to celebrate, let alone drag out all the decorations for the house and my Christmas tree. It was around that time I received wonderful advice which helped me not only get through the holidays, but also ease the pain in my heart. The advice was to try to maintain my holiday traditions as much as possible and to create new ones in honor of my father. At the same time, if I felt the need to pull back from some of the other holiday celebrations, such as ones with friends or coworkers, it would be okay to do so if I did not feel up to it. Being alone on the big holidays was not a good idea, such as Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, because it could only lead to greater sadness. That first year I did decline many of the holiday invitations I received from people outside of my family. My friends certainly understood my need for some quiet time away from the crowds. Instead, I read books and worked on art projects as a way of giving myself time to rest. I decorated my house and my Christmas tree. Even though tears streamed down my face as memories of Christmases past brought the pain of the loss of my dad to the surface, I still pushed on and was very glad I did. The sadness would have been worse for me if I had not stuck to my traditions. The holiday season brings such joy and light to my household that the lack of any decorations would have magnified my grief.

Traditions New and Old to Honor Loved Ones in Heaven

My biggest dilemma was Christmas Eve. Several years before my dad passed, my parents divorced. Christmas Eve was the holiday I spent with my dad while I spent Christmas Day with my mom. Each year, my sister and I would go to my dad’s house on Christmas Eve where he would cook dinner and we would watch my dad’s favorite Christmas movie, “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation.” My dad had a great sense of humor, and still does in spirit. He really loved that movie because it made him laugh, and when I say laugh, I mean body shaking with tears-in-the-eyes guffaw. It did not matter how many times he watched the movie, it would always crack him up as if he was watching it for the first time. As my dad proudly chopped and prepped his special Christmas Eve feast in the kitchen, he kept an eye on the movie and would start laughing right before his favorite lines would come up. It was great to enjoy this time with him. His infectious laughter and quoting of his favorite lines made my sister and I laugh even more. After dinner, we would finish watching the movie and open our presents together. On our way home, my sister and I would turn up the radio and sing Christmas carols at the top of our lungs. Laughter and songs filled the car as we marveled at the beautiful light displays on our ride home. The year my dad passed, my sister and I promised ourselves we would watch “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation” every Christmas Eve. I know he watches along with us from Heaven, still laughing and quoting his favorite lines. In addition to keeping that tradition, we decided to attend my aunt’s Christmas Eve party that she held every year for my mom’s side of the family. At first, my sister did not want to go. I urged her to go as I did not think it would be a good idea for either one of us to sit at home by ourselves with the pain of missing our father wrapping itself around our hearts. Both of us did attend the Christmas Eve event and found ourselves surrounded by loving and understanding family who hugged us, shared fond memories they had with our dad, and welcomed us into the fold of this new holiday tradition for my sister and me.

Healing and Love Shared

The ensuing years have brought healing to our hearts. We know he is with us in spirit, not just during the holidays, but every day. Your loved ones in spirit are there for you, too. They hear you when you think of them and when you speak of them, they read the notes you write to them, and they watch over you and your family and friends from Heaven. Even though the pain of losing a loved one can be overwhelming during the holidays, it is good to give yourself a break when needed and to maintain traditions when you can. Creating new ones that honor your loved ones in spirit is a magnificent way to keep them close in your heart with fond memories of good times spent with one another and the love you share. From Heaven, our loved ones in spirit share the holidays with us. They watch over us as guardian angels and love it when we recognize their presence in our lives through the signs they send. In honor of you and all your loved ones in spirit, I wrote this poem. May it bring you comfort and love this holiday season:

Our Spirits Entwined (from Dad in Heaven)
By Karen T. Hluchan, Spirit Medium

As holiday preparations get underway,
I walk beside you in spirit each night and each day.
Your pain, sadness, joy, laughter, and tears,
are felt within my spirit with each passing year.
I know your heart better than mine,
as we will always be connected, our spirits entwined.
The view from above is glorious and grand,
I reach out from Heaven to gently clasp your hand.
It will be okay, I am alright,
I am here with you now, sharing love with all my might.
I send you signs to let you know I am near,
through feelings and images, words whispered in your ear.
The songs you hear that remind you of me,
play for a purpose in all that will be.
Our love did not end on the day that I died,
it continues from Heaven, so strong are the ties.
We are never truly parted, God does have a plan,
to bring blessings to you and our entire clan.
Uplift your heart when I am near,
and share beautiful memories, so close and so dear.
When I appear in your dreams, please know it is me,
I am there to help out, to help you to see.
Your thoughts I can hear when they turn toward our life,
you are my everything, my heart without strife.
Do not be sad, as forever we will be,
joined in our hearts, you and me.
I am your guardian angel, so true and so near,
I watch over your life and all that is dear.
Thank you for your love and all that we share,
I am here for you, my child, I need you, I care.
I am not far away, just a thought is all that is needed,
to have me by your side, your call is heeded.
Be gentle with your heart, and know I am there,
for now and forever, our souls remain paired.

With Love and Light,

The Soul Importance of Giving and Receiving Love

by 2 Comments

Heaven is a place filled with love and knowledge. When our loved ones cross over into Heaven, they experience an awakening as they review their lives and realize the impact of their actions while on Earth. I cannot even begin to count the number of times people have come through in spirit asking for forgiveness for the lack of love that they showed or expressed when they were here. They truly wish they had realized the importance of this while they were here and want their loved ones on Earth to know how sorry they are for not sharing their love in more meaningful ways. These messages also tell us how important it is to our souls to show and express our love while living on Earth.

Generators of Positive Energy

Everything we are and everything we do is based in love. We are created from the supreme power of love by our Creator. We are meant to continue to generate that love through our actions on Earth. As spiritual souls on a human journey, we face many challenges here on Earth. It is the relationships and love we cultivate which help us through the dark times and brings us great joy when we celebrate the light. We are truly here to help one another. All the mundane problems of everyday life are catalysts to encourage us to work through our problems together, as well as to search out and find the love that is already there in the hearts of all our spirits.

You Can Take It with You

When we cross over into Heaven, we take with us our spirit and the love that connects us with those we share special connections with, including people and animals. The conclusion of our time on Earth, which comes with the release of our souls from our physical bodies, opens the door to a new beginning in Heaven. Within our spirits, we carry the love, knowledge, and relationships we cultivated throughout our lifetimes. Because love is our reason for being and one of the few things we take with us when we make our transition to Heaven, it makes sense that sharing and expressing our love is vital to our souls. It also explains why our guys and gals in Heaven repeatedly send messages about the importance of expressing and showing our love to one another.

Overcoming Fears of Opening Your Heart to Another

Do you hesitate to tell someone you love them? If so, why is it so difficult to say it? Is it because you were raised in an environment in which love was not expressed? Is it because you were hurt in a relationship or relationships in which you loved and that love was not returned? The fears that prevent you from sharing your heart were put in place as a challenge for you. The challenge in this type of life lesson is to overcome your fears to realize love is everywhere, and that the more you share, the more you receive in return. At first, it may feel awkward or uncomfortable to let your guard down and be vulnerable with someone; however, with the right person, the risk is worth the reward. Even if someone does not feel the same way you do, at least you expressed the feelings in your heart and soul. You can feel good about that, knowing you have done your best by communicating and sharing the love within your heart for another, whether it is a friend, family member, or significant other.

Giving Gifts from the Soul

For those on the receiving end of a loving message or gesture, it is a blessing and a gift from the soul. Even if you think someone already knows that you love them, show them and tell them anyway. Each person is a unique being, and we cannot profess to know all that is going on within another person’s mind or soul; however, by clearly communicating your feelings, you effectively remove any question someone may have about how you feel about them. Think about how many times you may have agonized about how someone feels about you. Wouldn’t it have been great if you had received clarity directly from that person? This is the gift you can give others when you clearly communicate your feelings in a way that can be heard and accepted by others.

Clear Communication Coupled with Positive Actions

Often, it is communication problems that lead to the demise of a relationship. Instead of withholding feelings out of fear, try to express them in healthy ways. Tell the people you care about that you love them and show them your love through your actions. For instance, do something for them that brings a smile to their face, such as making a handmade gift, completing a task or responsibility that will give them free time to relax, or scheduling time for a special experience that will create happy memories. Each one of us wants to be loved, accepted, and appreciated for who we are. If you are not giving or receiving that in your relationships, it is time for some soul-searching and, possibly, a heart-to-heart conversation about each person’s needs, as well as potential solutions for improving the relationship in which both parties participate.

Opening Yourself to Love

While it is important to share love, it is equally important to be open to receive love. When we build walls around our hearts and souls due to situations which have brought pain, we block ourselves not only from negative experiences, but also from positive ones. It is understandable to want to protect yourself from being hurt; however, retaining that wall long-term blocks you from experiencing the good in life. While letting the wall down may make you vulnerable to potential pain, it also opens you more fully to love and be loved. It may also help to examine what you learned from your actions and the actions of others to work on improving your experiences in the future. There are opportunities to love and be loved every day. It is up to us to be open to them while also taking responsibility for our lives.

Remember to Love Who You Are

As you are sharing your love with others, be sure to be kind and loving toward yourself. Schedule time to participate in activities you enjoy, including hobbies, exercise, reading, sports, meditation, and more. Be as kind to yourself as you would be to another. Love fully and well, both others and you.

With Love and Light,

30 Ways to Spiritually Ease Your Mind of Worries and Fears

by 2 Comments

Happy senior woman on country walk

The human mind is an amazing source for all our emotions and thoughts, the functioning of our physical body, and much more. It is also the home of the human ego, which is a mechanism put in place as an obstacle meant to present us with challenges in our lives. While it can encourage us to keep striving to do better, it can also provide negative messages which can have the opposite effect. At times, it is the negative voice in your head trying to convince you that events will not work out to your advantage, that you are not good enough to succeed, and a whole host of other negative thoughts and statements that are illusions born out of fears, worries, and regrets.

The human ego is persuasive and persistent with its messages. It can be difficult to tune it out when it tries to drum out positive thoughts with a relentless interjection of worries, fears, and regrets that play in your head. It is possible to learn how to minimize the negative voice of the human ego and release yourself from its hurtful and time-wasting mind chatter. Here are some ways that may help you to open your mind to the wonderful possibilities present in your life every day:

  1. Know the negative voice of the human ego is skilled at providing illusions meant to veer you off track and block you from achieving your dreams. Acknowledge the negative thoughts by thanking your ego for its input and letting it know they are not necessary, and then replace the negative thoughts with positive affirmations about yourself or your circumstances.
  2. Focus on the present. You are safe and you are loved at this moment. Count the blessings you have, no matter how big or small.
  3. Have confidence in your ability to overcome adversity. You have done so in the past and you will do so again.
  4. Make a gratitude list of everything you are thankful for, including all the beautiful qualities you possess that make you who you are.
  5. Know that every situation, no matter how negative, has a positive reason for occurring. Keep looking for the positive reasons and you will find them. You may not recognize them right away, but your guys and gals in heaven know you are searching for answers and will send epiphanies your way when you are ready to accept them. The more you practice this, the faster the epiphanies will come to you. This will also help clear your mind of worries and fears while helping you recognize workable solutions.
  6. Review your life and see how circumstances seemed to miraculously line up for you. Can you recognize how one situation led to another and how you benefited from the progress you made? Once you can recognize this, you are more likely to relax when circumstances appear to be challenging because you will have learned that situations have a way of working out¾sometimes better than you had ever imagined.
  7. When you are struggling with a particular situation and your stress levels are through the roof, surrender your grief and troubles to God. God wants us to ask for help and God can help us during both good times and challenging times. By asking for help and handing your problems up to God, you are surrendering your attachment to a particular outcome. This does not mean you are giving up. It means you are asking for the best resolution for you and all involved, whatever that may entail. God and your guys and gals in heaven have a much bigger picture than you do regarding your life. When you let go of continually striving for particular outcomes, you open yourself up to guidance into better outcomes than you could have imagined.
  8. Be patient, trust in the circumstances you are in, and wait for situations to unfold. Too often, the human ego creates a feeling of steady insistence for situations to go only the way we want them to go. By pushing to have your way, you may be closing yourself off from better solutions. God knows what you need, even if you do not recognize it yourself. By letting go of what you think you need, you may open the door to magnificent opportunities. Learn how to sit back and relax while waiting for instructions through repeated messages and signs from your guys and gals in heaven.
  9. Meditation is a powerful tool for helping the mind, body, and spirit return to simplicity. Put on soft instrumental music, sit or lie down in a comfortable position, and focus on your breath and the heart of your spirit. Doing so gives your mind, body, and soul the opportunity to relax and be more open to positive solutions from your Heavenly Support Team.
  10. Know that the events in your life are guided and orchestrated by life plans, also known as soul contracts. These contracts contain high-level agreements made prior to your birth on earth to experience certain lessons for your soul. Even though the lessons are chosen, the way they are presented in your life is determined once you are here on earth. One of the reasons for this is the gift of free will. You choose how you react to situations, which also determines how you move through lessons. The pace which you learn is unique to you. Therefore, events are facilitated on earth based on your progress, as well as the progress of those around you. Often, the soul contracts of multiple people are tied into one event that is orchestrated on earth. The facilitation of this process is absolutely amazing.
  11. Know you are loved and supported by God and the angels. They have your best interests at heart and will do what they can without interfering with lessons that need to be learned.
  12. Learn how to trust God. Sometimes, pain and frustration regarding situations may cause a loss of faith in God and your life plan. One of my most important lessons had to do with learning how to trust in the circumstances I am in, as well as placing my absolute trust in God. The reward is peace and a more relaxed outlook on life (less stress, worry, and needless fears).
  13. Learn how to recognize and understand the signs and messages your guys and gals in heaven send you on a daily basis. By connecting with the spiritual side of your nature, you will more readily recognize and benefit from the assistance you receive when navigating your life.
  14. No matter what the circumstances, know that God is not punishing you or testing you. There is no doubt that life on earth can be very challenging. We agreed to come down here to learn lessons in a hard and fast way. Sometimes our greatest challenges can turn out to be our greatest triumphs. Again, keep looking for the positive in negative situations.
  15. Create a support team of friends and trusted people you can go to when you need a helping hand. Asking for help when you need it and offering it to others helps you to acknowledge one of the fundamental reasons we exist – to love and be loved. No person is an island. We all need help from time to time, and a healthy balance of give and take in your relationships will help all involved through the rough patches.
  16. Know you will be given everything you need to fulfill your destiny.
  17. you are in control of you and only you. You cannot control the events that occur in your life, nor can you control how others behave. The only control you have is over your reaction to those events. You decide through thoughts, actions, and words how events will affect you. Remember, happiness is a choice, and your thoughts determine the paths you will take and the lessons you will learn.
  18. Talk to God every day about the good and the challenging. God is right there in your heart, ready to listen and send love when you need it. Who is better to talk things over with than the one who created you and has your best interests at heart?
  19. Learn to truly love who you are with honest acceptance and acknowledgement of the unique and beautiful soul you are.
  20. Remind yourself that most of your worries have never come true.
  21. Instead of letting your mind drift to the worst possible outcomes, work on visualizing the best outcomes or more positive outcomes. Try not to be too hard on yourself. This takes practice.
  22. If there is a positive action you can take, follow through with it. If you are unable to do so, let the situation go and trust you are receiving help from above.
  23. Spiritual timing and what we deem as necessary timing for events can be two different things. God knows what you need and when you need it.
  24. Do not lose sight of the love you do have in your life, including self-love, love of others, love from pets.
  25. Engage in self-care. Take care of you and participate in activities that bring you joy.
  26. Take a break from negativity. If you find yourself becoming stressed out from negative news on the television, Internet, or social media, take a break from it. While it is good to remain knowledgeable about current events, it may be healthier for your mind, body, and spirit to balance negativity with positive stories and activities.
  27. Be kind to yourself and others. Treat yourself and others the way you would like to be treated. Random and planned acts of kindness uplift your soul and state of mind. Moreover, your thoughtful acts may mean the world to someone in need.
  28. When facing challenges, it may be helpful to think in terms of “just for today.” By setting positive goals for yourself and focusing on the present, you are more likely to succeed. This will work for both short-term and long-term goals. For example, if you focus on short-term tasks related to your long-term goals, you will take steps each day toward your long-term goals.
  29. Know that miracles can and do happen each and every day¾and they can happen to you and those you love.
  30. Know that love is the soul reason for your existence.
