Acknowledging our place within it all...

Recently I was asked to step up to the plate.   I was asked  if I would take on a challenge and I agreed.  It was only a challenge in that I had never actually DONE that which I was called upon to do but, when asked, I trusted that I would be up for it. And the day came. I am an Vibrational Healer though and know that if this was something I could not handle, Spirit would have made that known beyond a shadow of a doubt.  It had not and here I was, ready to step off the ledge.

I prayed in the morning for assistance from the Divine Source. The task, as presented to me, was to assist a dear friend of another friend of mine in transitioning out of her body.  She is still a relatively young 50 something so leaving was a big consideration.  Other than being with my Father as he transitioned, at the ripe old age of 92, with my acknowledging that it was his time to go, I had never been asked to do something of this nature. 

So in a reverent state, I connected with the person I was to assist, through the ethers, and shared that we were going to be embarking on a wonderful adventure and that she had a choice.   Did she want to continue on or leave?  I then let it go.   

The Soul in question had been in the hospital for almost 18 months and, up until yesterday, she had been unable to do almost ANY thing.  But things had changed as we were soon to find out.
 
We were met at the hospital by another friend of the Soul in question who excitedly shared that Anna (not her real name) was sitting up in bed and actually speaking words.  I had this huge rush of energy course through me as I realized that something had definitely shifted with that request for assistance earlier.  I could sense myself being prepared for what was to come.

We walked into the room and this tiny woman lay in the bed looking up at us. I had met her once a few years ago but this was a mere shell of her former self.  The look she gave ME was overwhelming. She didn't remember much of what had been going on of late but, as her friends shared that she had been communicating with them that she wanted to leave this life, she simply nodded and just kept looking at me. 
 
I asked if she knew why her friends had brought me to visit her today and she nodded.  That same intense look stared at me and with tears in my eyes, I said "You are most definitely not ready to go Anna.  You have work to do.  Should we get going...now?"  She hoarsely croaked "Yes."
 
I won't go into the details but suffice to say, it was one of the most memorable experiences in my life so far.  One of her friends is also a Reiki practitioner so I asked her to lend her energy and, since her other friends were also there, I said that they only need send love for their friend and breathing together, we started.
 
At one time during this short healing session, there was a split second where I thought "whoa, this is really intense", but just worked through it, as everyone else in the room was clearly terrified by what was being released.  This poor woman just kept her eyes glued to mine as she coughed and coughed and coughed. 
 
The original reason for her hospitalization was that she had had a double lung transplant so a clearing of this magnitude was huge.  I asked if she had enough and she wheezed yes.  I placed my hand on her chest and, breathing together, we brought her back into a quiet place.  Never once did her eyes leave mine.  I finally stepped back and asked if she was o.k.  She answered in a clear strong voice
 
The reason for me sharing this particular day in my life is that this is my calling.  I am a Healer and, while most of the time I am very comfortable doing whatever I am asked to do in my assistance to the Divine, THIS was something entirely different.
 
In my stepping up to the plate without hesitation, I came into a place of love for who I am.  This has not always been the case on this journey that is my life.  But, with accepting this particular challenge I found a new strength within.....a strength that I trust.....a strength that is bolstered by my trust in Spirit as it channels through me.  I understand my purpose and I am able to breathe.........knowing that I have found MY way.
 
Long ago and far away I certainly did not see this life for myself.  I was going to be "like everyone else" yet, try as I might, it never felt "right".  Now, it feels oh so very right.  I feel right.
 
So today, on this day of Thanksgiving, I give thanks for the discovery of who I am as a Soul.  I do proclaim it GOOD.
 
Blessings abound

Honouring the Soul's essence


Did you really choose this path OR was it chosen for you?  An interesting thought.....

I spoke with someone the other day who shared that she had once been a Lawyer.  After a couple of years in her chosen profession she realized that she was no longer in alignment with that earlier choice.  When I asked if she did it because someone else had a dream that she become a lawyer, she replied..."It was expected.  The law is in our family".

She had gone to university, spent years honing her craft, only to realize this was not her Soul's choice.  She agreed that she initially went in that direction because she wanted to help people.  From deep inside a voice called to her....."So you can help people.  Just change how you are doing it." 

When I brought up the expense of getting an education such as hers, she merely shrugged.  When your heart and Soul are not in it, whatever IT may be, you, as a service to yourself, are asked to bring your highest awareness into your life.  Once you become fully present the veils life and you discover that which makes your heart soar once more.

Now bear in mind that there is never anything inherently wrong in pursuing a path, only to find out, down the road, that you have changed and no longer resonate with that initial choice.  When the time comes and you literally feel as if the life force is draining out of you, there is only one choice left.  Choose again.

And this is currently the state of so many who are at a crossroads on their own path.  While many are manifesting great sums of money and worldly possessions, there is no joy in their life.  Some can continue on in this vein for years but there are those Beings who know in their heart of hearts that this is not in the highest and best interest for him/her and a fork in the road appears.

My own path has taken a number of different turns, all of them a necessary part of my own evolution Was it easy?  Uh, not so much BUT it did prompt me to listen to those sounds beyond the silence.  You see I too was one of those Beings who was most definitely allowing my life force energy to fade as I stopped breathing life into my craft.

There is a book by Jon Kabat Zinn  entitled "Wherever you go, there you are!"  For me the theme revolved around the fact that at the end of the day it matters not what you are doing nor where you are doing it.  It only matters how we are vibrationally aligning with the life within which we reside.  For this is our home, the place we house our Soul.  It is said home is where the heart is.  If we are not aligned with the energy of the heart, that which we seek will remain elusive.

If the desires that you are projecting out into the world are just that.....outside of you....no matter where you go, no matter what you do, if you don't honestly resonate with what you desire on the outside, it will not materialize.   If the life you are experiencing is not in harmony with your Soul, you will simply keep repeating the same scenarios over and over and over again until you stop -  take a breath - and listen to that still quiet voice that whispers in the depths of your being.

You see, if we are not following those promptings from within, we are not listening to our Soul...the essence of who and, more importantly, what we are.  Are you being true to you or allowing another to dictate what your life should look like or be?  Are you following the path of least resistance or are you carving a new one, as you take a leadership role in your own life, in the process, becoming the YOU you know yourself to be.

In the honouring of your own unique Soul's essence, you fully commit to being the best you can as you move further along this Journey that is your life. 

Awaken to your Soul.  It calls to you...

Blessings from the depths of my heart.

Offerings from the Soul

Many years ago, when I first accepted that my connection to Spirit was ever present, I started to send out little messages to those with whom I had an internet connection.  At that time, the internet was just starting to become the norm it now is in our daily lives, but back then, not so much.

At first I only sent these missives out to those with whom I sensed  a kindred spirit and they, in turn, would forward these off to their lists and in time, many were reading my sharings.  I too would read them the day AFTER sending them out into cyberspace.  I was always amazed at who or what was speaking to me, and the many other readers of my messages. 

There were many in my world that I kept this part of me separate from, as I felt they would ridicule me or step away.  You see, I still feared that in some way this was not the norm and I always felt somewhat different from my peers.  There was also a disconnect, if you will, between the person who sat writing the words - Me - AND the person who was reading those same words, again Me.  I had not officially taken ownership of this grand gift that I possessed.  A very large part of  me, yet one I didn't really understand. 

In time, those same messages started to appear on the websites of others and then, life shifted and I stopped.  In hindsight, I now realize I was not ready to fully share me and all that I AM with the masses.  I was still in denial of the greatness that resides within each and every one of us.  We, do however, have to own it and take those next important steps.  I just stopped walking forward and, in time, the sharings became less and less - until I only wrote for me.  In speaking with another the other day who I know is also a writer, even if she doesn't know it yet, she shared that the only time she could really write was when her life was in turmoil.  Hmmmmmm, that very much rang true for me as well and it definitely gave me pause.

If we only write when we are in a state of turmoil, how can that ever REALLY be effective in assisting others on their individual journey.  I am a Vibrational Healer and Reader of Souls and as such, find comfort in the energy of the Divine Spirit as I feel the life force course through me.  When in the presence of clients, the energy is so full of love and light that my Spirit sings out in JOY.  Yes, this is it, I hear resonate deep inside.  I now understand that this is how life is to be lived - with our connection to Spirit fully engaged.

So now, at this juncture in the Journey that is my life, I choose to revel in that same Spirit that permeates my Soul.  The writing is simply another expression of the healing energies that flow through me, in service to Divine Spirit in whatever way I am chosen.

I choose to share once more my Messages from Beyond and Within.  These are a gift from my heart to yours.  I truly hope that you find inspiration in my simple words as your own Journey continues along the Path that you have chosen.

Blessings of Love and Joy.  May you walk forevermore in the Spirit of Oneness.
