What is Psychic Amnesia and What You Can Do to Avoid It During a Spirit Medium Reading

by Leave a Comment

A spirit medium reading is a three-way system of communication in which a being in spirit communicates with a spirit medium. The spirit medium receives and then transmits the information to the recipient of the reading. The recipient then identifies and claims the loved one in spirit who is coming through and opens themselves up to the messages being shared. It is a cooperative effort which requires active participation from the being in spirit, the spirit medium, and the recipient of the reading. At times, the recipient of the reading may not readily recall the person or animal coming through, or they may not immediately recognize the memories or messages being shared. This phenomenon is often referred to as psychic amnesia. There are many reasons why this can happen, even when everyone involved is doing their best to ensure clear and concise communications.

Reasons Psychic Amnesia Occurs

  • Only wanting to hear from one person
    • This blocks out openness to others who may be trying to come through to help you with your life
  • Concentrating only on people who recently passed
  • Thinking of your own perspective of the person, not the perspective of the person coming through
  • Waiting for a code word, name, or specific message
    • No matter how much unique identifying information is brought through, some people will not believe it is one of their loved ones in spirit unless they hear a specific word, name, or message
  • In a group reading setting, some people do not want to be the center of attention
  • Denial based on fear
    • Some people do not want to revisit the pain of someone’s passing
    • People have mentioned they denied knowing the person coming through because they were fearful of the emotions that would be brought forth
    • Uncomfortable with spirit communication because they do not understand how it works
    • Do not want to hear from a particular person due to painful situations encountered in life
  • Fear of the unknown
  • Skepticism about spirit communication
    • People who have had negative experiences with people who were not authentic or genuine, or they may have heard stories from others about this, may not want to believe the information coming through
    • Strong religious beliefs or teachings which deny this type of communication exists or is a product of negative beings may be deeply ingrained in someone and they may not be receptive to the information being brought forth
  • Thinking only of blood relatives, not friends, neighbors, associates, or others
  • Being awestruck
    • This can happen at any time, but most often when someone is sitting for a reading for the first time – it is as if their thinking mind has stopped functioning and they cannot even remember details about their own lives, let alone loved ones who have passed
  • Not understanding how spirit communication works
    • Spirit communication is a complex process which involves the use of all the spirit medium’s senses – people who are not familiar with the way it works may sometimes think it is as simple as a fireside chat in which all information about a person’s life is easily shared
  • Impaired judgment due to inebriation from alcohol or drugs
  • Distraction
    • Thinking of other things and not living in the moment
    • Not paying attention to the information being shared
    • Having pets, small children, or other people in the room
  • Fatigue
    • If someone is very tired or exhausted, it may be challenging for them to recall information or to recognize it when it is coming through
  • Strong grief
    • Messages may be brought through, but the person may be so distraught that they have a hard time hearing and digesting the messages

Ways to Avoid Psychic Amnesia

  • Keep an open mind and heart
    • Enter a reading with no expectations or pre-conceived notions of how you who you would like to hear from, how they would come through, or what they would like to share with you as you never know who is going to come through for you, nor can you anticipate the message they will bring
    • Your loved ones in spirit know who you need to hear from and why – remember they view your life from an enlightened perspective
      • They often bring through information which may bring healing for your soul
    • Be open to the information coming through because your loved ones in spirit are doing their best to share information using a very intricate communication process which involves the transference of their messages and information using all the spirit medium’s senses
      • It is like pieces of a puzzle that need to be brought together to define who it is coming through and what they would like to share with you
    • Know that anyone who has passed can come through, including blood relatives, in-laws, ex-in-laws, friends, acquaintances, co-workers, relatives whom you never met but who know you from watching over you from Heaven (such as great grandparents), pets and more
  • Release your fears and trust in the bigger picture
    • Receiving communications from your loved ones in spirit is an amazing experience that originates from the most powerful energy in the universe – love
    • Be aware that fears are often an illusion which block us from achieving our dreams and living the lives we are meant to live
  • Prepare for your spirit medium reading
    • Familiarize yourself with the process
      • Do your research with reputable spirit mediums
      • I provide articles and brief videos to help people understand how spirit communication works
      • I also explain how spirits communicate with me prior to each reading I provide
    • Know that spirit communication is a very complex process which involves the full participation and cooperation of you, your loved ones in spirit, and the spirit medium
  • Record your reading and/or take notes
    • If you don’t remember right away, there is a good chance you will remember later or the information they shared will be revealed in the future
    • Sometimes information shared in a reading may be referring to a situation occurring in the future that you have no prior knowledge of
  • Be awake, alert, and sober as this is a special form of communication which requires your active participation
  • Allow time to grieve before contacting a spirit medium for a reading
    • In the first stages of grief, which includes feelings of anger and denial of the person’s passing, it is best to wait until your heart and spirit have begun to heal and accept the person’s or pet’s passing
  • Do not be too hard on yourself if you temporarily forget loved ones or memories
    • There may be a reason why you are not remembering information right away, such as those in spirit wanting you to speak with others about them after the reading

Relax and Enjoy the Experience of a Spirit Medium Reading

Most of all, it is important to make the most of your spirit medium reading by relaxing and allowing the process to naturally unfold. If you open yourself up to this incredible form of communication, the healing that comes from a spirit medium reading can change your life in amazing ways. Enjoy the communications coming through from your loved ones in spirit, as they are motivated by love, which is the greatest gift that can be transmitted from one being to another.

Not Seeing Signs from Loved Ones in Spirit? Here Are Reasons Why

by 2 Comments

Black Butterfly

When a loved one crosses over into Heaven, they often send signs to let their loved ones on earth know they are in existence in spirit and still connected with them, as well as to share their love and let them know they are doing well in Heaven. Often, these signs can be very strong soon after their crossing. This is because they are still vested in the people they love on earth and want to bring them assurance and comfort during their time of grief. The signs must be very strong during these times because grief tends to immerse our souls in sadness, effectively blocking awareness of that which exists outside of ourselves. Because they recently crossed over, loved ones in spirit usually have an experienced guide with them to help orchestrate the occurrence of these signs.

Signs from Heaven

Immediately after a loved one in spirit crosses, it may seem as though there are no signs at all, or the signs may be very strong and clear then seem to lessen or disappear altogether. There are many reasons why it may seem as though loved ones in spirit are not sending as many signs or any signs at all. First, let us explore the ways loved ones in spirit send signs and examples of some of the stronger ones which may occur soon after they cross over into Heaven. Soon after a loved one in spirit crosses over into Heaven, they are often eager to send a sign to their loved ones on earth letting them know they have crossed over into Heaven, as well as to send their love and comfort. Often, loved ones in spirit are accompanied by a guide to help them during their time of transition and these guides assist with the sending of signs. Because people in spirit no longer have a physical body with which to send communications, they use the universal soul-to-soul form of communication, also known as spirit communication or mediumship, which is a much richer method for transmitting information. This method can utilize all the senses to provide a deep and direct connection with those they are trying to communicate with. The options are limitless when it comes to the many ways loved ones in spirit can send signs. Here are some examples of strong signs sent soon after a loved one crosses over into Heaven:

  • Seeing a loved one in spirit fully manifested in energy form, much like the appearance of a ghost, in which you see them in a slightly transparent form of themselves (Note: This takes a tremendous amount of energy and, therefore, a rare occurrence.)
  • Seeing loved ones in spirit in dreams
  • Finding coins or feathers in unusual places
  • Seeing repeated visual signs which remind you of the loved one in spirit, such as their favorite places in the world, hobbies, jobs, their name, or their relationship to the recipient, as well as butterflies, ladybugs, dragonflies, hummingbirds, doves, and more
  • Smelling a strong scent in the air which is reminiscent of the loved one who passed, such as their perfume or cologne, cigar or cigarette smoke, or the scent of their home
  • Catching a quick glimpse out of the corner of your eye of a presence in the form of the loved one in spirit or as a dark shadow (Note: Dark shadows are often misidentified as ominous entities, when they are really loved ones in spirit who are partially manifesting.)
  • Feeling as though a loved one in spirit placed a hand on one’s shoulder or affectionately touching your face – this feeling can be accompanied by a tingling sensation on the shoulder or face
  • Feeling a presence with you that is comforting
  • Hearing the voice of a loved one in spirit saying your name or words of comfort
  • Songs playing on the radio about Heaven or that remind you of a loved one in spirit
  • Electronics acting up for no explainable reason (e.g., blinking lights, electronic screens freezing up or digitizing, children’s toys or music devices playing on their own, etc.)
  • And much more

Reasons Why Signs from Loved Ones in Spirit Seem to Lessen or Not Occur

Often, people on earth expect their loved ones in spirit to manifest like a ghost in front of them and be able to hold a long conversation with them with questions and answers. This may happen; however, it is very, very rare. The energy it takes to do this is tremendous and the loved ones in spirit may not know how to do this immediately after crossing over. Instead, signs are sent to get their messages through. What happens though when it seems these signs are lessening over time or seem to disappear? Again, there are many reasons why signs may seem to lessen or not be present at all. It is not because your loved ones no longer care for you. They do and they are around you whether you are aware of their presence or not. Here are some examples as to why it may be challenging to recognize signs or why they seem to have dissipated:

  • Strong grief can temporarily block the ability to recognize signs (Note: This is because deep grief turns the attention inwards and can be all encompassing at times. Experiencing grief after loss is a natural process in which we need to give ourselves time to process our feelings and emotions, as well as time to adjust to the major transitions and changes to our lives.)
  • Not knowing how loved ones in spirit send signs or communicate with loved ones on earth
  • Expecting the same sign every time
  • Loved ones in spirit give us space to heal our hearts (Note: If they constantly made their presence known, those of us on earth would have difficulty moving forward because their presence may potentially prevent us from adapting to not having them physically with us on earth. This is a major transition for both you and your loved one. Even though your souls remain connected, adjustments need to be made and acknowledged for healing to take place.)
  • Times when loved ones in spirit are not allowed to interfere with decisions we need to make. It is during these times that it will feel as though they are not with us.
  • We are very sad or focusing too much on the mundane issues of life, which eats up focus and closes us off to recognizing signs
  • Misconstruing signs as representations of negative entities
  • Missing or dismissing signs due to lack of knowledge, fear, sadness, skepticism, or disbelief
  • Not giving yourself time to heal and adjust to the major transitions which occur when a loved one crosses over into Heaven, which can lead to a desperate search for signs when loved ones in spirit are trying to give you time and space to heal
  • They are learning how to send signs to loved ones on earth and participating in activities in Heaven which temporarily suspend the sending of signs

Be Kind to Yourself and Know Your Loved Ones in Spirit Are There for You

As with any major transition in our lives, we need time to adjust to the changes. While we are processing grief on earth and living our lives, our loved ones in spirit are also adjusting to their existence in Heaven. You and your loved ones in spirit are connected through the hearts of your spirits. There is nothing that can break the bond of the love you share. Be kind to yourself by giving yourself time to grieve, learn about how loved ones in spirit communicate and send signs, and have patience with yourself and your loved ones in spirit. They are there for you and will send signs when the time is right for you.

Who Do We See in Heaven?

by Leave a Comment

grey cat in the grass

When our loved ones make the transition to Heaven, people frequently ask whether they are reunited with loved ones in spirit who are already there. It is one of the top questions asked beyond whether their newly deceased loved one is at peace and doing well. There are many answers to this question which really begin prior to a loved one crossing over into Heaven, and which have been provided to me through thousands of readings and meditations over the years as a spirit medium.

Who We See Prior to Crossing Over into Heaven

Our Heavenly Support Teams, which are comprised of God, the Archangels, past spiritual masters, Guardian Angels, loved ones in spirit, and more, know when our time to cross over is coming. It does not matter if the passing is sudden or more drawn out due to an illness or ailment. They are around us to help us with the process.

What Occurs Prior to a Sudden Passing

With a sudden passing, there are times when we may have an unusual or deep conversation with someone right before they pass. Often, people ask me whether that person knew they were going to pass. They do not know on an earthly level that they will be passing, but their soul knows, as does their Heavenly Support Team. The prompting for those conversations comes from those in Heaven and they are a gift from above. Loved ones in spirit are there waiting to assist the person passing with their transition to Heaven by bringing them peace, letting them know their time has come to cross over into Heaven, and helping with the process.

What Occurs During a Slower Passing

With a passing that is more drawn out due to an illness or ailment, loved ones in spirit and the Angels gather around the person who will be crossing over. Those who are getting ready to transition to Heaven often see them and talk with them days and sometimes weeks prior to passing. This is not a hallucination, even if they are heavily medicated. They really are present and ready to assist with the transition process. People who are in a coma, are asleep or unconscious, or are unaware of the world due to Alzheimer’s or dementia go to Heaven’s Waiting Room, where loved ones in spirit who are already in Heaven can visit them and prepare them for their full crossing over into Heaven.

During the Transition to Heaven

When the soul is released from its earthly body, there is a delegation of one to three beings in spirit helping the soul to enter the portal to Heaven, also referred to by many as the tunnel, which glows with a brilliant white light. The delegation can consist of loved ones in spirit, including beloved pets in spirit, as well as Angels. They guide the soul to the portal where they enter on their own, as it is a private journey where they experience a montage of positive highlights of their lives and experience a brief time with our Creator. As the soul is reaching the end of the portal, the light of Heaven shines brighter and they begin to see all their loved ones in spirit cheering them on and celebrating their arrival in Heaven.

Who We See Once We Are in Heaven

Upon our full transition into Heaven, we are reunited with ALL the loved ones in spirit we would like to see, including pets. I state it this way because there may be souls we do not want to see due to negative conflicts experienced while on Earth with them. In time, after we have had our non-judgmental life review in which we learn about why we had the experiences we had and the lessons we were to learn, we have the option to reunite with those who brought us harm. This is not to give them a hard time or to ream them out, but to extend forgiveness. This is because during our life review, we attain a higher understanding of the role that soul agreed to play in the lessons we needed for the growth of our soul while on Earth.

Enjoying Heaven Together

Once we are united with those we love in Heaven, we can enjoy Heaven with them, volunteer to become a Guardian Angel to those we love who are still on Earth, and much more. As it is on Earth, but with much more positivity, we decide how we would like to spend our time in paradise. If we had more than one spouse or significant other, there is no fighting or jealousy as our time can be shared as we wish without the lower energies and emotions from Earth interfering. We also share Heaven with our beloved pets in spirit.

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!

Are Spirits Constantly Communicating with Mediums?

by Leave a Comment

Green bottle with note inside floating in water

People often ask me if spirits communicate with me everywhere I go and if they urge me to share messages all the time with people in my vicinity. The short answer to this question is both yes and no. I keep the channel open to remain receptive to messages from my own people in spirit and other people’s loved ones in spirit can interrupt my life to request a message to be shared; however, when and why spirits communicate with me outside of a formal reading differs according to the circumstances I am in.

Respect Goes Both Ways

As a spirit medium, the respect I have for spiritual beings is also extended from them to me. Spirits know I have duties I need to perform on earth and that I, too, have a life I need to live outside of being their voice for them. They know I need time to relax and to attend to my own needs; therefore, they do not constantly hound me to share messages. As I mentioned, I do leave the channel of communication open; however, it is for the purpose of remaining open to the daily guidance I receive from my own support team in Heaven. When I am preparing for a formal spirit medium reading, I consciously open the channel even further with the specific intention of receiving and sharing messages for the recipients of the reading.

Spirits Can Be Persistent

There have been times when spirits have urged me to share a message with someone who is sitting or standing next to me; however, the circumstances surrounding  these situations usually has a much higher purpose and more far-reaching  implications than I am made aware of at the time. When a spiritual being is strongly urging me to share a message with someone I have not formally met, I do so with honor and respect. This includes a proper assessment of the circumstances and whether it is appropriate timing, as well as the asking of permission to share the communication I am receiving and from whom it is in spirit. It is very important to note that I do not just walk up to someone and blurt out information about their loved ones in spirit. It is irresponsible and rude to throw information like that out to people without having asked permission to share the communications. They are not ready for it and may not welcome it. By asking permission, I am allowing the person to prepare themselves for the receipt of a message, and it also gives them the option to receive it or not.

Honoring the Spirit of Each Being

Spirit communication is to be approached with honor for the divine source that dwells within us all. That honor includes showing respect to the spirit who is communicating with me, as well as to the recipient of the communications on Earth. The misconception that mediums just walk up to people on the street and share messages is rooted, in part, by “reality” television shows. It is unfortunate that shows cut out the portions in which permission is asked to share a reading. When watching a show, people tend to forget that the people in the show are followed around by television cameras. They must ask permission from store owners to bring cameras into their establishments as you cannot film a television show on any property without permission. The people on the premises are also aware that a show is being filmed due to the cameras and usually sign waivers prior to filming. As viewers, we do not see these transactions taking place, we only see the sharing of messages from spirit because the producers want you to have the impression that these events are occurring spontaneously for the reality television format. While I am very grateful for what these shows have done to raise awareness about spirit communication, the way shows portray it has caused confusion and unrealistic expectations for viewers. The format of the shows lead people to believe that spirits urge mediums to walk up to people they have never met and deliver messages all the time. As I had mentioned, there have been very special and unique times that this has happened to me; however, I assess the situation first, and then ask permission before sharing any communications.

Clearing Up an Additional Misunderstanding

One of the other misconceptions that surround mediumship is that mediums should be constantly sharing messages with people for free because it is a gift. I have actually had people demand, not ask, that I give them a message on the spot. To demand anything from anyone is very rude, and it does not honor the gifts, the person with the gifts, or the source of the gifts. No matter what gifts a person may possess, it is always better to ask than to demand or even expect someone to give of themselves without giving them something in return. If you would like to receive messages from your loved ones in spirit, ask to set up a time for a reading. Like doctors, mediums have specific times that they devote to sharing their gifts of healing with others. Both doctors and mediums deserve time off to attend to their own lives and to recharge themselves in order to serve others with honor and respect. If we did not do this, the imbalance of constantly giving and not receiving would leave us severely depleted of energy and, therefore, less effective in our roles as healers. The same holds true for you. If you are constantly giving and not receiving in your life, eventually there would be nothing left for you to give. In all that you do, it is beneficial to demonstrate respect and honor yourself and others. In this way, you can maintain more cooperative relationships that serve to inspire and uplift your spirit and that of others, rather than deplete them of energy. There is a time and a place for everything, and by honoring yourself and those around you, you will be much happier with the results of your interactions.

Namaste!

With Love and Light,

Finding Moments of Serenity in a Challenging World

by 2 Comments

Woman smiling with head resting on hands Life on this earth can be very challenging and trying. Between the seeming mountains of responsibility, the complicated relationship dynamics, and an inordinate amount of negativity on the internet and television, it can seem like an insurmountable task to find serenity within our souls. While we are here to learn lessons for our souls, we do not have to take the hard road or get swallowed up by the less than wonderful moments in our lives. Nor do we need to expose ourselves to other people’s agendas that are based on fear rather than love. We can choose to find the positive reasons for negative circumstances – yes, they do exist, and if you look for them, you will find them. We can also choose to carve out moments of happiness for ourselves to keep us going, lighten our hearts, and create joyful memories we can call upon when times get rough.

Events on Earth Can Be Frustrating

As you know, we do not always get what we want, when we want it. This can be frustrating at best and crushing at worst. It is the human ego within us demanding that our needs and wants are immediately met. Unfortunately, we are often disappointed when this does not occur. What can we do to ride out the storm while retaining hope for the future? Often, it takes a reminder that the circumstances we face have to do with soul contracts put in place prior to our birth. These contracts dictate the lessons we will learn for our souls while residing on Earth. Since Heaven is a very happy place, it is challenging for us to learn the hard and fast lessons that life on earth offers. That is why we face obstacles and trying circumstances here. This does not mean, though, that our lives are meant to be devoid of happiness. We are meant to overcome the challenges we face with love and hope, as well as the understanding that there are important reasons for events to occur. Sometimes we need to gather our inner strength to have patience and faith in beneficial outcomes.

Finding the Reasons

When I find myself becoming frustrated with trying circumstances, I remind myself to step back and stop worrying. God and the angels know what we need, and they will provide it when the time is right for us. When I look back on my life, I can see how events lined up to bring me to where I am today.  I can also understand why certain circumstances had to occur when they did because they gave me the skills I needed for future endeavors. When I was going through tough times, it was difficult for me to understand the positive reasons for their occurrence. It is only through time and thoughtful examination that the true, positive reasons revealed themselves to me. However, I had to look for them. If I were to allow myself to get lost in negative thoughts, it would be very hard for me to ever see the positive meanings behind any circumstances.

Relinquish Control and Breathe

By letting go of our desire to control certain outcomes, we clear the way for the universe to step in and deliver improved circumstances. This does not mean we give up. It means getting out of our own way when the path is not clear. When situations become overwhelmingly challenging, try to relinquish control of how you want events to go, focus on what you can do, and open your mind to different solutions. Repeated fretting and worrying about what may or may not happen does not change circumstances. Try to focus on the present moment and solutions you can put into action instead of focusing solely on the problems. A great way to bring your focus back to the present is to simply breathe. Place your hands on the heart of your spirit (center of your chest) and concentrate on your breath as you inhale in through your nose. Envision positive energy flowing in as the air flows into your body. Take a brief pause, then exhale through your mouth while envisioning the release of negative energies. Your breathing should sound like an ocean wave. You can even envision an ocean wave as you use this exercise to relax and refocus. This “Finding Your Center” meditation is great to use for calming anxieties, focusing your energy on the present, and helping you speak from the heart.

You Are Given the Power to Succeed

When God wants you to do something, you will be given the abilities, the strength of will, and the resources to do it. It just may not be in the form you think. Our Archangels and guides are working hard to place us in situations designed to help us grow and learn as souls, while also providing situations that motivate and encourage us on our paths. It is quite amazing to see how events in our lives build upon one another, leading us to the next steps and providing us with the experience we need for the future.

Serenity is Vital to Your Path

It is important for your overall wellbeing to create moments of serenity, especially when you feel most anxious or harried by the events of life. Remember, you have an incredible team of heavenly beings that love and support you. It is their desire to help guide you to the best possible paths for you. You can help them with their efforts by learning how to create and invite moments of calm in your life. It is in the stillness that you are most receptive to the guidance that can lead you out of the darkness and into the light.
