What is Astral Travel?

By Leave a Comment

Door opening in darkness, revealing light

Years ago, when I was relaxed and almost to the point of falling asleep, I had an experience in which I felt the physical sensation of my soul lifting out of my body. It was an alarming experience as I felt the separating of my soul from my physical body as it lifted upwards towards the ceiling and outward toward the end of the bed. My initial thoughts were:

“What is this?”
“Oh my God, am I dying?”
“No!”

As soon as the “no” resounded in my head, I felt the rush of my soul rejoining my physical body. As I lay there, now wide awake, I contemplated the experience. I knew I was not in the processing of dying, because if I were, my soul would have continued on despite my objections. I had never experienced astral travel before; however, I knew it existed but did not realize it could happen spontaneously. Once I realized what my spiritual guides, which I refer to as my Heavenly Support Team, were attempting to do, I relaxed and settled down again. I apologized for my very human and fearful reaction and gave them permission to take me on a journey. I took comfort in the knowledge that my soul would not fully disconnect from my body during this process, as I have experienced similar sensations of the lifting of my soul when providing readings and felt the connection through a cord comprised of energy between my physical body and my soul. To get myself back to the relaxed state I was in, I breathed deep through my nose and exhaled through my mouth as I do when entering into meditation, while clearing my mind and opening up my heart and spirit to the journey they wished to take me on. As I went deeper into the meditative state, I felt my soul rise again. Without my previous fears getting in the way, I was able to relax and enjoy the experience more as I felt my soul lift up and away from my body. I experienced a light, floating feeling as I traveled through the rooms of my own home. I then felt myself rise above my home, seeing it and my neighborhood from a bird’s eye view. It was an interesting experience which I viewed with great curiosity and wonder. In a flash accompanied by white light, I found myself soaring over Egypt, seeing the pyramids from above and marveling at what I could see. The next experience I remember is the feeling of my soul rejoining my physical body. There was a feeling of great peace within me as I acknowledged I was back, and then I drifted off to sleep.

The next day, I wondered why the journey included Egypt. I have not physically visited that location in this lifetime; however, it is a place I have long felt drawn towards, especially the pyramids. My deep fascination with the times of pharaohs, including the spiritual beliefs, culture, and lifestyles of all who lived during those times, are topics I have read about and researched. To me, the connection is rooted to a past life in which I lived during those times.

Astral Travel is Real

Yes, astral travel is real. Many people have inadvertently experienced this during near death experiences, also referred to as NDEs. They report the same feeling of the soul lifting up out of the body and viewing their physical body from above on the operating table or at the scene of an accident. They can see and hear all that is going on around them, including hearing doctors, nurses, or medics talking and seeing them poised over their physical bodies as they make the effort to save their life. During some of the experiences, people experiencing the NDE describe leaving the operating room in spirit and going down the hall to where loved ones are in the waiting room. They report hearing and seeing everything in the room as if they were physically standing there. Other times, people have described ascending to a place filled with beautiful light and sound, and at times, seeing loved ones in spirit or the angels accompanied by a great feeling of peace and love.

Heaven’s Waiting Room

For those who visit the place filled with light, it is what I refer to as Heaven’s Waiting Room. I have seen and experienced this place myself through communications from loved ones in spirit, meditations, and through my gifts of mediumship. Often, people who are in a coma, are comatose, or who are suffering with Alzheimer’s or dementia, go to Heaven’s Waiting Room. It is a place which is like Heaven, but not quite Heaven. Loved ones already in Heaven can visit souls who are there, as can God and the Angels. When my grandmother suffered her third stroke, I intentionally opened up the line of spirit-to-spirit communication with her soul to see what she was experiencing. With my gift of clairvoyance, the ability to see with the Third Eye, I saw her as a little girl roller skating outdoors with old-fashioned skates which fit over her shoes. She was joyous and carefree. To me it seems as though it was a happy memory she was reliving in this holding space in Heaven. Using my gifts of mediumship, I greeted her using my mind, not saying anything out loud with my voice, and let her know I was there. As I was speaking to her within my mind using my gifts, she woke up out of her coma in the physical world and said out loud “What was that, Kar?” It was an amazing moment of validation for me that she heard me in Heaven’s Waiting Room and responded to me in the physical world with a continuation and acknowledgement of our conversation.

At the time of that experience, I had already known of the existence of Heaven’s Waiting Room. Detailed experiences had already been communicated to me through my other grandmother who passed from Alzheimer’s, as well as through countless others who had come through in spirit during readings. Being able to actively connect with someone who is alive and experiencing Heaven’s Waiting Room can and does happen during readings. Receiving direct validation from my grandmother of her awareness of my presence with her was incredible.

Astral Projection

When intentionally setting out to take a journey of your soul, it is referred to as Astral Projection. It takes time, practice, the releasing of fears, an openness of mind and spirit, and a lot of patience to be able to do this. There are entire books devoted to the practice. If this is something you are interested in experiencing, I recommend looking up those books and reading those you feel drawn toward to help you with this process. Again, be patient with yourself. If it were as easy as willing yourself to do it, there would not be entire books written about it.

Where You Can Go While Astral Traveling

The possibilities are endless when it comes to Astral Travel, including exploring the universe, visiting Heaven or Heaven’s Waiting Room, visiting loved ones in spirit, and much more. When using Astral Projection methods for a journey of the soul, you may start out with that which is familiar, such as your own home. In time, you can build up to more exploratory travel for your soul.

Why Astral Travel Exists

Astral Travel is an amazing experience which can bring about enlightenment, healing, and knowledge. There is so much more to our existence than what we experience here on Earth. We are human beings on a spiritual journey in which we learn lessons for the evolution of our souls. A significant part of that journey involves figuring out why we exist, what our purposes are for this lifetime, how we fit into the bigger picture, and what that bigger picture is. We are given glimpses into what exists beyond life on Earth through extraordinary experiences that cannot be explained away by anything other than divine intervention, including but not limited to, miracles, spirit-to-spirit communication (also known as mediumship), signs from loved ones in spirit, astral travel, dreams, theophanies (powerful experiences with God), sightings of loved ones in spirit fully manifested like ghosts, objects moved or appearing, and much more. These experiences open up our minds and spirits and get us to thinking, wondering, and exploring. This is all a part of the spiritual journey we embark on which is sprinkled with amazing experiences to help light our way. The more open a soul is to these extraordinary experiences, the more they will occur and with greater detail.

Extraordinary Experiences

Now that you know what astral travel is, I am hoping you can approach it with curiosity, when and if it occurs to you. Do not be surprised, though, if your reaction was like mine during my first experience. It can be a very startling at first; however, if you can let go and allow the journey to take place, you can have some extraordinary experiences to assist your soul.

How Loved Ones in Spirit Communicate and the Messages They Bring

By 4 Comments

When communicating across dimensions, loved ones in spirit bring through information for a spirit medium using all their extrasensory senses and earthly senses. This rich and complex form of communication goes beyond the provision of verbal information to provide immersive experiences for the spirit medium to describe to the recipient of a reading. The information is transferred soul to soul through the invisible network which connects all of us with one another. In some ways, it can be likened to a deep telepathic connection between the medium and the loved one in spirit.

There are unique challenges within this form of communication, including but not limited to, the need for the spirit medium to be completely open to the information coming through and to trust what is being shared. From a spirit medium’s perspective, the information may not be in chronological order, it can contain symbols for the spirit medium to decipher, and it may not make immediate sense to the spirit medium as the flashes of information give the spirit medium glimpses and experiences of a life they did not live. It is the spirit medium’s job to describe all the information they are receiving to help the recipient to identify and claim the loved one in spirit, as well as to convey the message the loved one in spirit would like to share.

As the receiver, the spirit medium does his or her best to allow the information to flow from the loved one in spirit to them. They then describe everything they are experiencing without filtering in order to transmit the information in the way the loved one in spirit is providing it. Spirit mediums need to remain completely open and without bias as the information is coming through as they are the vessel through which the information flows. They are not the originators of the information. They are the receivers and transmitters.

It is important to note the spirit medium does not control who comes through for the recipient or what they want to communicate with their loved ones on Earth. The loved ones in spirit know who the recipient of the reading needs to hear from on a soul level, as well as what the recipient needs to heal their life or to help them on their life path. There are times when recipients have someone unexpected coming through. Who comes through is as important as the message they bring and those messages are meant to bring healing to the soul of the recipient and/or their relatives or friends.

The Recipient Must Be Open

In order for the communications to proceed in the best possible way, the recipient of the reading also needs to be open minded about who will be coming through and the information to be shared. Just as the spirit medium does not control the loved ones in spirit coming through, neither does the recipient. By keeping an open mind and heart, the recipient can be more receptive to the information coming through which helps with the process of claiming and identifying the loved one in spirit. Additionally, without preformed ideas of who will be coming through and why, the recipient allows the loved one in spirit to provide divine insight which may not have been recognized or accepted if the recipient was solely focusing on certain loved ones or expecting specific messages.

Information That Can Be Validated

For each person or pet coming through in spirit, the loved one in spirit transmits information to help the recipient of the reading identify them. The information often includes what they looked like toward the end of their life or if they did not like what they looked like at the end they send an earlier image of themselves, physical characteristics, how they passed, what they did for a living, hobbies, favorite activities, houses they lived in, what their personality was like on Earth, and memories from the past. The information they bring can be validated by the recipient of the reading or by those who knew the loved one in spirit.

Messages from the Other Side

Once the loved one in spirit is claimed and identified by the recipient, they can then share the personal messages they have from the Other Side with the recipient of the reading. The information comes through in the same way, using all the senses of the spirit medium.

What Kinds of Messages Do Loved Ones in Spirit Share?

There are a variety of reasons why a loved one in spirit would like to communicate a direct message to a recipient. All the reasons have to do with healing, love, and our spiritual journeys. When loved ones ascend to Heaven, they are given knowledge and insight which provides a higher understanding of why events occurred the way they did on Earth, why they behaved the way they did, and why others behaved the way they did. The information reveals the lessons they learned in life and the ones they still need to work on, as well as how all that fits into the soul plans laid out before they were born and the reasons for our existence as souls.

It is from this new perspective that loved ones in spirit provide messages for those they love on Earth. They are still who they are, but with a higher understanding and views which enable them to help the living with their journeys. Even if there is someone coming through in spirit who did not behave well in life, they are there to ask for forgiveness in order to provide the recipient the opportunity to release and heal the pain of the past. Loved ones in spirit do not come through to shame, hurt, or embarrass, as the communications are transmitted through the divine love which connects all our souls. The limited understanding they had on Earth has been transcended through knowledge, which also allows for the release of lower negative energies experienced while living on this plane.

Here are some examples of information loved ones in spirit bring through in their messages during a reading:

  • Letting the recipient know they made it to Heaven and that they are doing well
  • Sharing information about what Heaven is like and what they are doing:
    • Who they are with
    • What their experience was crossing over
    • How they can visit people on Earth and send signs and messages, as well as what those signs and messages are
    • What their Heaven looks like
    • Activities
      • Learning new skills, exploring the Past Life Pavilion, volunteering to be a guardian angel, etc.
    • How they are receiving healing – souls who had a hard time in life can receive healing in the Spiritual Hospital
  • Providing assistance for the lives of those on Earth, including insight into events which will occur in the future, including upcoming travel, job situations, relationship issues, etc.
  • Asking for forgiveness and expressing apologies for their behavior on Earth
  • Supplying reasons for the behaviors of people on Earth, including family histories of behavioral patterns that may be causing issues in the present
  • Taking responsibility for their own actions in life to provide healing and understanding
  • To share their love and to say, “I love you” – this is especially important if they did not share this while on Earth
  • Providing encouragement for pursuits in life
  • Sharing information about important events, such as weddings, births, holiday gatherings, and more, as well as mundane events, which occurred since they passed to demonstrate they have been visiting and know about events on Earth
  • Delivering important information in which the recipient needs guidance:
    • The handling of their estate
    • Insight into next steps for jobs, relationships, education, etc.
  • Bringing healing to loved ones on Earth to help their souls move forward with lessons and soul evolution (forgiveness, lessons, relationships)
  • Acknowledging and appreciating assistance provided to them while they were living, as well as for the love shared
  • And much more

The Divine Within Us All

The ways in which loved ones in spirit communicate, as well as the messages they send, are shared through the bond of divine love which connects us all to one another. The more open the spirit medium and the recipient of the reading are to the loved ones in spirit and the communications from Heaven, the more easily the information flows, which also allows for more insights and love to be shared.

Why Certain Loved Ones in Spirit Come Through During a Reading and Not Others

By 2 Comments

Woman smiling with head resting on handsWhen sitting for a reading, everyone has certain people they would like to hear from, such as their mother, grandfather, significant other, or pet. However, there are times when the loved one you long to hear from does not step forward on their own to share communications from the Other Side. It does not mean they do not love you, but rather that the people or pets coming through have something very important to share with you that can only be shared by them due to their relationship with you, their experiences in life, and what you need on a soul level to help you with your life at the time of the reading.

Get the Most Out of Your Reading with an Open Mind and Heart

Keeping an open mind about who is coming through for you is important for getting the most out of communications from your loved ones in spirit. They know better than you what you need for your life to bring healing, closure, and guidance because they know on a soul level what you need to grow and evolve in this lifetime. You can request a specific loved one in spirit to come through; however, it is up to that loved one in spirit to decide whether it is in your best interest to come through. Most of the time they do; however, there have been a few rare times when they have not readily stepped up in order to allow another loved one in spirit to bring through communications from the Other Side. Here are some of the reasons why this may occur:

The Need for Your Heart to Heal

There are times when deep grief can be overwhelming. Your loved ones in spirit recognize the need for you to heal and adjust to the new reality of not having them physically with you on Earth. When in very deep grief, there can sometimes be a tendency to hold on to the past so strongly that forward movement is being temporarily blocked. Your loved ones in spirit recognize this and know you need time and space to heal. It may seem counter to what you think you need; however, they know you may be attempting to hold on to them too strongly and may not be open to what they need to share with you. Giving yourself some time to heal and work through your grief immediately following the crossing of a loved one allows you to be as open as possible to their communications. There are also times when people attempt to see multiple spirit mediums in a short period of time to hold onto the past, which does not allow the heart and soul to heal. Your loved ones in spirit know what you need when you need it, and the one you are constantly trying to connect with may hold back from coming through to give you the space you need to heal and move forward with your life. In this instance, other loved ones in spirit will come through to help you with your life and the challenges you are facing.

They Need Assistance Bringing Through Messages

In certain situations, loved ones in spirit may need assistance communicating through a spirit medium. This can sometimes occur when a loved one has recently crossed over into Heaven and has not yet learned how to communicate spirit-to-spirit on their own, or they are spending time in the spiritual hospital to heal their soul or to be fully woken up in Heaven, as is the case with those who were catatonic for a long period of time while on Earth. During a reading, another loved one in spirit may come through first to help with the communication process. They are there to lend their support, love, and expertise to help the loved one in spirit to share communications with you.

There Are Others in Spirit Who Have Important Communications to Help You with Your Life

There are times when you would like to hear from a particular loved one in spirit, such as your mother, but your father comes through instead. This does not mean that your mother does not love you or want to communicate with you. It means your father has messages for you to help you with your life that only he can deliver because of his relationship with you and his experiences in life. Your loved ones in spirit have a unique perspective on your life from Heaven. They know more about you and the events destined for your life than you may realize. It is because of this that one particular loved one in spirit may be the one to share communications with you, instead of the one you wanted to hear from that day. Communications from Heaven contain healing messages at the deeper soul-level. Even when they are helping you with seemingly simple occurrences or events in your day-to-day life, they are providing you with proof of their existence beyond life on Earth, as well as their knowledge and ability to help you across dimensions. This information may be just what you need to believe in our existence beyond life on Earth and to know that your connection with them is as vital and loving as it was in life.

They Are Ashamed of How They Passed or How They Treated You

When someone has had a hand in the ending of their life, such as from suicide, a drug overdose, or chronic alcoholism, these loved ones in spirit have a tendency to wait in the background or hesitate to come through. This is because they are not proud of how they died or how they brought pain to those they love while they were living and in their manner of passing. They do not want to cause more pain. Their reluctance to step forward has to do with their own sadness with the way they passed, as well as their disappointment in themselves for bringing pain to others and missing out on what could have been in their lifetime. The consequences they experience from their actions on Earth require much healing for their souls in the spiritual hospital in Heaven. During their healing, they are also provided with coping mechanisms and insights to help them work through similar situations in their next lifetime. Even though they have received healing, there is still a sense of sadness for their actions on Earth that comes through when they do communicate. If you or someone you love is struggling with depression or substance abuse, contact a licensed therapist, call your National Suicide Hotline, or a substance abuse specialist to get help with the healing process while here on Earth where it is crucial for the soul to receive help as soon as possible.

You Already Communicate with Them Every Day and They May Put Others Before Themselves

Some people are very much in tune with their loved ones in spirit and they communicate with them every day through their thoughts and speaking out loud to them. The answers are received through signs, urges to take positive actions, answers through music, and much more. Because the relationship is already in tune and they are comfortable with the love you share, they may allow others in spirit to come through first if they have important messages to share with the recipient. At times, they may be displaying an aspect of their personality in which they would put others before themselves. Once that is acknowledged, they will step forward with their messages. As a note, healing, assistance, and messages from Heaven can come from people you would not expect, including great-grandparents or grandparents you did not know in life, a friend whom you helped more than you realized, in-laws and ex-in-laws, pets, and more.

Lack of Faith or Lack of an Open Mind

There are times when a lack of faith by the recipient gets in the way of communications from the Other Side. A loved one in spirit may be trying to come through, but the person sitting for the reading may be holding out for one specific piece of information to come through before they will claim them. Even though loved ones in spirit may be bringing through a lot of detailed information about their life, houses they lived in, their personality, their work, and more, some recipients reject the information because they are only listening for a “pre-arranged” code word or specific piece of information to confirm them by. For instance, on the day of a reading, the recipient may ask in their mind for a loved one in spirit to say “pickles” in a reading, just so they can know it is them. Sometimes loved ones in spirit will comply with that request and other times they will not. Most of the time it backfires because we do not control how our loved ones in spirit behave or communicate. The holding out creates a block because the recipient is attempting to control how the loved one in spirit decides to come through. There are a lot of lessons in that. Neither the medium nor the recipient controls what loved ones in spirit decide to bring through. Faith plays an important role for the spirit medium and the recipient during a reading. The loved one in spirit knows what the recipient needs for the growth of their soul. Letting go of the desire to control can be one of the important factors and lessons for the recipient, which is why they will not always play the game of bringing through that code word or piece of information, but will bring many other pieces of information which are unique to them. There are deep spiritual reasons for their behavior and if you are doubting the existence of Heaven, they may bring through information in a way that requires an open mind and your belief in their existence in order for you to receive it.

Knowing They Love You

Our loved ones in spirit truly know what we need for our hearts and souls. When sitting for a reading, it is best to keep an open mind and heart to those who will be coming through, how they come through, and the messages they bring. By doing so, you allow yourself to be the recipient of information and knowledge from your loved ones in spirit in Heaven that will help you with your life and help you grow as a soul. They are privy to the bigger picture when they are sharing information with you and they can help guide you through situations of healing, to improved circumstances, to an understanding about our existence beyond life on Earth, and much more. Most importantly, they love you and every aspect of you, and they also want what is best for you and all whom you love.

Reincarnation: The Many Lives We Live

By 6 Comments

Reincarnation of our souls is the concept of the soul experiencing many lifetimes in different forms or physical housings. Our souls are made up of energy which take many forms throughout our existence. Heaven is where our souls are born, created directly through love from the omnipotent soul of God. It is here where we create plans for our spiritual journeys in the form of soul contracts for specific lifetimes. The soul contracts contain a plan in outline form for the lessons we will learn in the upcoming lifetime of our choosing. During the creation of these plans, we work with the members of our soul groups to integrate our plans in order to help one another learn the lessons agreed to in the contracts. It is important to note that the ways the lessons will unfold on Earth are not determined until we arrive here. Events are orchestrated in real time based on the lessons we agreed to prior to birth, as well as the freewill decisions we make and the resulting effects. It is an incredibly precise and complex process which is in place for every living being on Earth and for which there are innumerable outcomes.

Rising sun under the Earth planet, abstract backgrounds

There are many locations we can visit throughout the universe for different purposes and lifetimes. Earth is just one of the locations we can visit for a lifetime of lessons. Once we have completed our soul contracts, we return to Heaven, which is the hub from which we were created and to which we return after every journey. Our main soul groups, which include our immediate family and friends, regroup in Heaven. After a period of rest and relaxation, we determine where our next journeys will take place which will best suit our needs for the evolution of our souls. For the purpose of this article, I will focus on our experiences as human beings on a spiritual journey on Earth.

Why Leave Heaven for a Lifetime on Earth

 In Heaven, the experience for our souls is different. We learn lessons there, but not at the same pace as we do on Earth. Here, we have the gift of the human ego which propels learning through negativity. It acts as a challenge to humankind to learn how to manage this mechanism in our minds which is the source of our fears, regrets, anxieties, and doubts.

When we are born on earth, information about the soul contract we agreed to in this lifetime is veiled from us in order to provide the opportunity to learn without bias. The information, also known as our Akashic Records, is stored in our souls, as well as in the Hall of Records in Heaven. Portions of the records can be accessed through spiritual means, such as past life regressions, meditations, and more. The records contain all our individual soul contracts and experiences for all our lifetimes in the past and the current lifetime, as well as information in outline form about potential lessons for future lifetimes.

A Lifetime on Earth is the Accelerated Course for Soul Evolution

Our journey through a lifetime on Earth is what I refer to as the accelerated course for soul evolution. The experiences we have here are designed to maximize our learning opportunities through situations which challenge all our knowledge and beliefs about ourselves, our world, our existence, each other, the universe, God, Heaven, and more. It is a journey of rediscovery about the information contained within our souls which contains all the answers we seek. It takes hundreds, if not thousands, of lifetimes to grow as a soul.

Younger Souls and Older Souls

Younger souls have the tendency to operate more from a place of fear because they have not learned how to manage the human ego and do not yet realize that love is the reason for our existence. Lower level energies, such as selfishness and greed, tend to occupy the thought processes of younger souls, which leads them to take actions that are harmful to themselves and others. In contrast, older souls operate more from a place of love and often put others before themselves. Some of their lessons include learning how to establish a balance of giving and receiving. When on a truly accelerated path, older souls tend to go through very difficult and challenging experiences early in life in order to get them up to speed with what they need to accomplish later in life.

On Earth, our experiences are intertwined. Older souls help younger souls with life lessons and younger souls help older souls with life lessons. Each of us helps one another through our journeys through the cause and effect of our actions and the circumstances we are presented with. The decisions we make determine whether we learn the lessons we are meant to learn. If a lesson has not been completed, it will return with a different set of circumstances until we have gained the necessary knowledge for our souls.

Because we are on different levels of soul evolution, it means that not everyone will understand or grasp the concepts about our existence in this lifetime. This does not mean older souls are better than younger souls, as all souls have their individual purposes. As we grow from a child to an adult in life, we attend school to learn. The same process happens with our souls through many lifetimes. Each lesson we learn helps us move forward with the evolution of our souls and the time when our souls will be reintegrated with God.

Evidence of Past Lives

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, the great composer, was a child prodigy who could replay a song after hearing it once and who composed complex music scores at a very young age. When a soul exhibits the ability to complete intricate new tasks with great ease, it is a sign the soul lived many lifetimes and has performed similar tasks in those other lifetimes with great skill. These residual experiences are stored within the memory of the soul and can also be triggered by similar circumstances in our current lifetime. The information is not limited to skill sets. It also contains experiences that deeply affected the soul, enough to cause a carryover into this lifetime. For instance, an unexplained fear of fire or water in which the soul has not had an experience in this lifetime to cause it may be able to be traced back to experiences in past lifetimes. In some instances, it is a foreshadowing of events to come.

Have you ever experienced an instant connection with someone upon your first meeting with them? This may be because of a connection in a past lifetime or in Heaven. Are you drawn to specific cultures, music, activities, locations, and events from history? One or more of your past lifetimes may have included experiences from these times. Have you ever been somewhere and felt you had been there before, even though it is your first visit? Again, this may be a reference to a previous lifetime in which you spent time in this location.

There are fascinating stories about toddlers talking about people and places in history for which they would have no previous knowledge. They do it with such detail that it cannot be confused with anything other than a past life experience. Other toddlers and very young children refer to how they met or knew their deceased grandmother or grandfather in Heaven. These memories of the soul are strong for the young children because they have just come from Heaven. Unfortunately, by the age of five, most of these old memories have faded as new memories begin filling the mind with current life experiences.

Past Life Regressions

There are many ways to delve into our souls to rediscover past life experiences. One of the ways to do this is to perform or experience a past life regression. This practice is usually performed by a medium trained to use their gifts to receive information about past lives. You can also use your own meditation time as an opportunity to ask to have past life information revealed. Ask your spirit guides for assistance with the process and remain open and objective to everything you see, feel, hear, taste, and smell during your meditation. The information will provide clues and glimpses into some of your past lives, as well as your connections with your immediate soul groups. Within meditation journeys, you may discover the different roles and genders you experienced which provided elements of knowledge that deepen your appreciation for people from all walks of life.

Soul Connections

Throughout our existences as souls, we are connected to one another through the love within the hearts of our spirits. The experiences we share create a powerful bond which stays with us through this lifetime and beyond. For now, make the most of the time you have on Earth and look toward situations you encounter as opportunities to learn and grow as a soul. Appreciate those around you as you are all on this journey together, helping one another to evolve on a spiritual level.

With Love and Light,

Trusting in Circumstances and Retraining Your Mind to Focus on the Positive

By 2 Comments

Light Bursting from Behind the Clouds

Trust in the circumstances you are in because they are not only meant to be, but also are leading you to a better place in the evolution of your soul. Even if times are challenging or you do not understand where circumstances are leading, there are positive reasons for these situations. Negative circumstances are not what they seem on the surface, as there is an amazing interconnected network of events occurring at this very moment which are leading us into situations designed to help us grow as souls.

Seeing the Positives Hidden Within

Events we perceive as negative are designed to help us grow, often at an accelerated pace. Positive experiences encourage growth through reward. On earth, it may seem as though negative circumstances outweigh the positive. This is not necessarily true. Pain, emotional or physical, often acts like a bookmark on our souls. Because of this, it is sometimes easier to recall painful situations because they left a very strong impression tied to lessons for our souls. The human ego, which is the seat of negativity, uses these bookmarks to retrieve information and persuade us into thinking there is more negative than positive. However, in knowing this, you can train your brain to recall the positive.

Important Insights Revealed

One evening as I sat in meditation, my best friend, Michele, who crossed over into Heaven several decades ago, appeared to me. Memories of our relationship flooded in; however, all had negative connotations, including the heart-wrenching way she passed, the great troubles she experienced prior to her passing, and more. In my mind I said, “No! This is not what my relationship with Michele was about. Show me at least two positive memories to counter each of the negative ones just shown.” As I continued to relax in the meditation journey, the positive memories started to flood in about the good times Michele and I enjoyed. It warmed my heart and taught me an important lesson about the ease with which we recall the negative and how we can turn that around by redirecting our thoughts to recall the positive experiences. Now when I think of Michele, it is with joy in my heart for the good times we shared.

Daily Gratitude

Each day, I work on emphasizing the positive over the negative by expressing gratitude for all the lessons I have learned, the people and animals in my life, the opportunities to give and receive love, the gifts I have been given, all that I have, and so much more. When negative circumstances arise, I do my best to focus on the lessons behind the circumstances instead of allowing sadness or self-pity to kick in, as those emotions are counterproductive and wasteful. Because I actively choose to look for the positive lessons behind negative circumstances, I have been given glimpses into the amazing ways events are orchestrated, with one circumstance leading to another and another, ending with a whole host of positive experiences hidden within. A very simple example of this would be having a tire on your vehicle go flat, which leads you to a repair shop for fixing. This could be viewed as an inconvenience as you need to alter your plans and pay for an unexpected expense. However, while at the shop, you bump into an old acquaintance who, after inquiring about how you have been and what you have been up to, provides you with a tip to help you with your career. This piece of information ends up helping you in more ways than you thought possible and came at the perfect time for you. There are no coincidences in life. All events are orchestrated from Heaven with our best interests in mind. This sequence of events started with a negative but ended with a positive. You never know where life will lead you; however, if you keep an open mind and do your best to focus on the positives, they are there. It may take time to see the positives, especially when you are immersed within a challenging situation. It is at those times it would be helpful to let go of unproductive striving and look toward solutions and the lessons within. If solutions are proving difficult to determine, this is when I let go and let God. In my mind, I hand my challenges up to God and ask for assistance, then I take my mind off the issues by focusing on other tasks or activities I enjoy while I wait for instructions about the next steps to take. These instructions will come in the form of urges to take positive actions or repetitive signs or messages.

Asking for Help

Try not to be too hard on yourself or allow a barrage of negativity to get you down. There are times when events outside of you may disturb your thoughts or increase frustration or sadness about events in the world or in the lives of those you love. If you are struggling to grapple with difficult issues affecting your life or the lives of others, I recommend calling on God and the Archangels to provide you examples of the good in the world or to show you ways you can assist in the situation or help make the world a better place. I do this when negative news about the world becomes overwhelming. I also send prayers asking for God to intervene and heal the situations. Even though there are positive reasons for negative circumstances, it can be easy to be overwhelmed at times by an onslaught of troubling news, whether it is about our own lives, the lives of those we love, or the world. Ask for help from above or from those around you if you need it and do what you can to take positive actions, including looking for the lessons behind the circumstances and, if possible, solutions to improve circumstances for those affected.

We Are All Human

Throughout all the experiences of life, it is important to remember we are all human. We make mistakes, we get back up, we go through good times and bad, and we are all living through this experience together. Be kind to yourself and others through understanding and forgiveness, and by knowing there will be people who have not yet progressed through certain lessons which enable them to operate from a place of love. We are a mix of younger souls and older souls who are helping each other learn lessons, all with the goal of helping our souls evolve and grow to a place of higher understanding and peace through love. Viewing our experiences from a more positive perspective will help make our lifetimes more enjoyable and productive, while helping us to see and experience the love and guidance from Heaven which influences our lives every day.

From the heart of my spirit to yours,
Karen T. Hluchan
