Do you believe in miracles? It’s a question that has intrigued and captivated us for generations. From ancient deities being credited for mysterious events, to incredible stories of survival on the news, we can’t help but be drawn in. And why not? The concept of miracles is just as fascinating today as it ever has been. So let’s explore the spiritual side of miraculous events and their emotional impacts. Whether you are a skeptic or a believer, buckle up for a journey through time and prepare to be inspired!

Defining a Miracle

What is a Miracle and what it means to different people.

A miracle is often defined as an extraordinary or supernatural event that cannot be explained by scientific or natural laws. It’s a cosmic wink, an otherworldly nod, a rainbow on a cloudy day. It’s the unexplainable moment that takes our breath away and fills us with gratitude. To some, it’s a clear sign from above, a nudge from the universe, or a symbol of hope. For others, it’s an unexpected coincidence, a lucky break, or a newfound perspective on life. Regardless of how we perceive it, a miracle reminds us that there’s something greater at work in this world—a force that connects us all and reveals itself when we least expect it. Whether big or small, miracles have the power to fill our hearts with wonder, our minds with possibility, and our lives with purpose.

Miracles Throughout History

Famous Examples of Miracles Throughout the Ages

Throughout history, there have been countless stories of miracles that have left people in awe and wonder. From the parting of the Red Sea to the healing of chronic illnesses, miracles have been described as divine interventions that challenge our understanding of the world around us. Some of the most famous examples include the miraculous resurrection of Jesus, the sudden conversion of St. Paul on the road to Damascus, and the miraculous apparitions of the Virgin Mary at Lourdes. These events have inspired people for generations and have instilled a sense of hope and faith in humanity. Despite skepticism and doubt, miracles continue to be a source of inspiration and wonder for people around the world.

Religious Perspectives on Miracles

Religious perspectives on miracles are diverse, intriguing, and often awe-inspiring. While some see them as proof of divine intervention, others view them as part of the natural order of the universe that science has yet to explain. In Christianity, they are signs of God’s power and presence, while in Islam, they represent Allah’s mercy and compassion. Hinduism and Buddhism take a more nuanced approach, with some believers considering them as a manifestation of spiritual attainment. Despite the differences, the concept of miracles continues to unite humanity in awe and wonder.

Are There Scientific Explanations for some Miracles?

Scientific Explanations for some Miracles are gaining momentum with advancements in technology. While some argue that miracles are supernatural, scientists have begun to shed light on some seemingly inexplicable wonders. Studying conditions of those who claim to have been miraculously healed has uncovered underlying physiological or environmental factors that caused the magical occurrences. As such, the debate continues on whether science can fully explain miracles or whether they are truly wonders of the divine that go beyond scientific comprehension.

Miracles in Everyday Life

Celebrating Small Acts of Kindness as Miracle Moments

Everyday life is brimming with miracles, some monumental and others seemingly simple. We may tend to focus solely on the awe-inspiring events, but let’s not overlook the smaller moments of wonder and kindness that occur on a day-to-day basis. Whether it’s a person holding a door or a neighbor mowing the lawn while we’re ill, these little acts of kindness can have an immense impact, brightening our day and reminding us of the goodness that still exists in the world. By embracing these small miracles and viewing them as moments of true magic, we can foster an attitude of gratitude and positivity that can inspire others. Celebrate the kindness, acknowledge the miracles, and help spread the joy.

Miracles are all around us, in the grand events that shape our world and in the small moments that touch our hearts. They inspire us to believe in something greater than ourselves, to have faith in the unseen and to hope for the impossible. Whether you believe in miracles or not, it’s hard to deny the power they hold in our lives. The stories we tell of miracles past, present, and future remind us that there is goodness and wonder in the world – all we have to do is keep our eyes open and our hearts ready to receive these blessings. So, ask yourself: do you believe in Miracles? Have you experienced a Miracle in your life? Take time out today to reflect on what miracle moments have made an impact on your life and how these will inform your beliefs going forward.

How to Use Oracle Cards

Oracle cards are a powerful tool for gaining insight and guidance from the spiritual realm.

They can be used for personal growth, spiritual development, and divination. If you’re new to oracle cards or want to learn more about how to use them, this guide will give you everything you need to get started.

Step 1: Choose Your Deck

The first step in using oracle cards is to choose a deck that resonates with you. There are many different types of oracle cards available, each with its own unique imagery and symbolism. Take some time to browse through different decks and choose one that speaks to you on a personal level. You may also want to consider the theme of the deck and whether it aligns with your spiritual beliefs.

Step 2: Cleanse and Bless Your Deck

Once you have chosen your deck, it’s important to cleanse and bless it before using it. This helps to remove any negative energy that may have attached itself to the cards and infuse them with positive energy. You can cleanse your deck by smudging it with sage or palo santo, or by placing it in a bowl of sea salt overnight. To bless your deck, hold it in your hands and say a prayer or set an intention for how you want to use the cards.

Step 3: Ask Your Question

When you’re ready to use your oracle cards, take a few deep breaths and focus your mind on the question or situation you want guidance on. You can ask a specific question or simply ask for general guidance. It’s important to approach the cards with an open mind and heart, and to trust that the messages you receive are for your highest good.

Step 4: Shuffle Your Cards

Once you have your question in mind, shuffle your cards while focusing on your intention. You can shuffle them in any way that feels comfortable to you, whether it’s by hand or by spreading them out and mixing them up. As you shuffle, you may want to say a prayer or affirmation to help you connect with the energy of the cards.

Step 5: Choose Your Cards

When you feel ready, choose one or more cards from the deck. You can do this by spreading the cards out and selecting them at random, or by simply drawing them from the top of the deck. Trust your intuition and choose the cards that feel right to you.

Step 6: Interpret Your Cards

Once you have chosen your cards, it’s time to interpret their meaning. Each card will have its own unique message and symbolism, so take some time to study the imagery and reflect on how it relates to your question or situation. You may also want to consult the guidebook that came with your deck for additional insights and interpretations.

Step 7: Take Action

The final step in using oracle cards is to take action based on the guidance you have received. The cards are a tool for gaining insight and clarity, but it’s up to you to take the necessary steps to create positive change in your life. Whether it’s making a change in your behavior, taking a new approach to a situation, or simply trusting the journey, the guidance you receive from your oracle cards can help you navigate life with greater ease and grace.

In conclusion, using oracle cards can be a powerful tool for gaining insight and guidance from the spiritual realm. By choosing a deck that resonates with you, cleansing and blessing your cards, asking your question, shuffling your cards, choosing your cards, interpreting their meaning, and taking action, you can use oracle cards to create positive change in your life and connect with your higher self.

Ask, Surrender, and then Allow

The keywords for this writing are “surrender” and “allow.” There is incredible power in the utilization of those words.

The most powerful outworking of surrendering and allowing in my life came 15 years ago. Then, I was at an all-time low in my life. I had divorced after 30 years of marriage and was a realtor in a market plagued by foreclosures.

I was 55 years old. I was in a whole new world, and frankly wasn’t sure how anything fit.

I couldn’t stand to make a living off the pain and suffering of people who were upside down on their mortgages or were headed into foreclosure. I was dramatically underperforming based on the standards I’d set for myself in the past.

In real estate, if you’re not making sales, you’re not earning a living. So I found myself sinking deeper and deeper into debt and in danger of becoming one more foreclosure.

I had done everything that I thought was possible to turn that situation around. I was at my wits end.

One morning, I got up like normal, made my coffee, and went to my meditation room. I had a serious talk with God. I’m confident that I’d never been quite as direct in prior conversations, but I felt that I truly had nothing to lose.

The upshot of that conversation was when I said, “I did not come here to live this way. You did not put me here to live this way. I have exhausted everything I know how to do, so here’s the deal: I’m going to turn it all back over to you. Fix it, or take me home. I don’t really care which.”

That was the surrender part. I knew and trusted that by taking that step, something was going to happen. I believed that either it would be a solution to the problem or I would go home. I absolutely did not care at that point which way it went.

I went about my business. I had a meeting at the Association of Realtors that day. At the end, I knew my broker would be happy with the outcome of that meeting, so I dialed him as I drove away.

He invited me to meet him for a drink that afternoon in downtown Grand Rapids. As we drank, he explained that he had purchased the interest of his last partner in the real estate company and was now the sole owner.

He explained that he and the senior staff were looking at where the gaps were. They made a list of necessary skills, and one of the staff members said that Eric Webster was a guy that had every one of those skills.

There we were having a cocktail, and he offered me a management position within the company. It was on a trial basis. We would assess how it was working out later. He made me an offer that I couldn’t refuse – I wouldn’t have refused, and we agreed that I would begin.

As I drove away from that meeting, I remembered my morning conversation with GOD. I spoke to the creator in a way that I’ve never talked before – without fear that I would be hit by a bolt of lightning when I went outside, but the words that rang in my mind were “fix it or take me home. I don’t really care which way this goes.”

I remember thinking, “Wow, that is a fast-acting God.” Just this morning, I surrendered my situation. I asked for help and, within eight hours, received the answer to that request in a way that I could never have imagined.

It did not take long after I began for the owner of the company to acknowledge that hiring me was a great decision and that if I was willing, he wanted me to go full-time with a salary that was appropriate and benefits.

It was an incredible reminder of the power of allowing, the power of surrender. It supported my theory, my belief that every prayer is immediately answered. So if we don’t see the outworking in our life, we need to consider maybe whether we are refusing delivery.

Big lessons can show up if we ask, if we surrender, if we allow. I can’t tell you how often these concepts come up when I’m doing readings.

The recordkeepers I work with have given me images and direction to use with clients to imagine that they have a lovely script tattoo of “ALLOW” on the underside of the forearm. With that tattoo comes the suggestion that when they’re feeling jammed up, when they’re feeling like they’re not getting their desired results, that they would run their hand over that tattoo to remind themselves to allow. I’ve had reports back for many, and it’s been a game-changer.

For me, all of this was a powerful reminder that no matter how independent I am, no matter how successful I become, that I don’t have to do the heavy lifting on my own. I get an image in my mind of guides and angels, who are sitting there, twiddling their thumbs, laughing, saying things like “Yeah, that Eric, he forgets that he doesn’t have to do all the heavy lifting if he would just ask us, have faith, surrender, and then allow, we can make it all so easy.”

My suggestion to you, is to see how asking, surrendering, and allowing could have some powerful impact in your life. Feel free to visualize an invisible ink tattoo on the underside of your left forearm to help you allow – to help you get out of the way.

One visualization that I’ve worked with and have encouraged clients to work with is in the area of absent delivery of answered prayers. This is because I believe that every prayer is immediately answered. If we don’t see evidence of it, we might look at our ability or our willingness to accept delivery.

I encourage people to visualize that they’re in their home, and they open the front and back doors because the delivery vehicles deliver all of those answers. Prayers are going to clog the street one after another, and it’s going be so busy that the delivery people will come in the front door, drop the delivery and go out the back door before they move along.

It is another powerful visualization that I’ve worked with in the past and have felt wonderful results from. I don’t share concepts and ideas without working with them personally. Anything that I print, anything that I put on my website is something that I’ve worked with personally, and have had some degree of remarkable results, so I hope that you will consider asking, surrendering, and allowing as a new, perhaps more productive way to move your life in the direction that you want to go.

Returning to Full Power

This blog post begins a series of posts about situations that can create barriers to finding our way in our worlds in a balanced and productive way. They will be situations I’ve seen repeatedly in my Lifestyle Engineer/Hypnosis/Akashic Record practice, often enough that I’ve been compelled to research and devise methods of helping people help themselves in powerful yet simple ways.

Almost universally, it seems that we are VERY good at providing compassion and care for everyone in our world, except for ourselves. Self-care seems to be a task that we vow we will get to at some unspecified future date, and that date never seems to arrive.

If we’re on an airplane, we’re told that we’re to put our own oxygen mask on 1st, if it drops from above. They know that if we pass out from oxygen deprivation, we can be of NO assistance to anyone else.

Real life is the same. If we don’t take care of ourselves, we won’t have anything to give in terms of helping other people.

In my own life, and in my Lifestyle Engineering practice, I’ve found the concept of people functioning (or attempting to function) at a level of diminished power to be incredibly widespread.

The why and wherefore of creation, whether it is a solo act or with the ‘help’ of others, whether we realize it or not, is not important. Instead, what matters is becoming aware of the challenge, identifying who the players are, taking corrective action, and, ultimately, establishing some appropriate boundaries and then enforcing them.

As you look at yourself, you might find symptoms that will help you assess if this applies to you. They can include being totally worn out all the time, lacking normal mental focus, irritation, anger, and frustration that is not normal. If you see yourself as you read those words, and you ACT, you can keep those symptoms from being chronic.

Many times, good and caring people give away bits of their power to other people who may be struggling or may need some assistance. We give that power gladly, willingly, and most often, without any awareness of how that gift, while helping the others, can take a toll on us and make it more difficult to make our own way in the world.

Other times, people and situations don’t give us the opportunity to offer assistance; they pick our pockets and help themselves to bits of our power.

In both cases, the net effect is the same.

Those gifted or stolen pieces of us have created gaps in us that not only have us operating at diminished capacity, but also allow our power to leak out of the openings, further exacerbating the situation.

Regardless of how the holes were created, it is totally within your power to call every aspect of yourself back to you! It does not matter if those aspects were given or taken. Calling them back will start their return.

When I encounter this, the goal is to create an image in my mind where the missing pieces are called back and are seen floating through the air toward ‘home.’ For me, they look like little jigsaw puzzle pieces, and each one floats in, lands, and gets locked in the exact place it needs to be.

With each piece returning, there can be a slight boost of power, and not only is the power returning but the hole is filled, which decreases what has been leaking out.

When the last piece clicks into place, I ask my body what color it needs to seal all the pieces into place.

Then I visualize that color rising out of the ground, swirling around the body, rising up. As it does so, it is sealing and healing as it rises. The color climbs up the body and ultimately blasts out of the crown area like a searchlight.

I use this in my own life, but also when the situation comes to my attention in an Akashic Record Reading, for another person, or as a contributing factor for a situation that a Lifestyle Engineer/Hypnosis client wants to overcome.

From my own personal use of the process, I can tell you that it has been energy changing, energy shifting, balancing and restoring.

Readers are encouraged to try the solution outlined and, if you’re willing, to report back if you’ve found the relief you were seeking.

Straight Talk About Psychic Readings

Curious about the best way forward in booking a psychic reading?

People seek psychic readings for lots of reasons, and with lots of different agendas. Here are some tips for using your time and money wisely – and respecting the guidance and expertise of the professional you’re consulting.

Your goal and question(s) are key. Carl Jung warned that fuzzy questions receive fuzzy answers. Think about what you’re wanting to get out of the reading and consciously frame your goals and questions.

What questions should you ask during a psychic reading?

Do you want to understand a situation? Are you looking for psychic confirmation of a hunch you have? Are you facing a decision? Are you wanting an idea of what’s ahead and the best use of your focus? Is what you really want reassurance – that you’re okay, that a situation is
alright, that you on your path? (Hint: You’re always on your path.)

Regardless of your interest – health, career, money, love, what’s coming up for you – here are some questions worth considering:

What would be useful for me to know?
What’s my most beneficial course of action?
What am I not seeing in this situation?

Rarely are situations set in stone. Other people in situations can change their minds or directions, and sometimes it’s simply not in your best interests to know exactly what is coming. Ask what is likely to happen, rather than what is going to happen. And then, if you don’t like the answer, ask what you can do to work around it, or to make the best of it.

What should you avoid during a psychic reading?

Don’t ask a question if you’re not willing to hear the answer. This comes up a lot in relationship psychic readings. Do you really want to know if your ex is coming back? (That’s probably the most frequent question readers hear.) Do you really want to know if your boyfriend is seeing someone else? What will you do with the information? Bonus question: Why would you want to be with someone who rejected you?

Other danger zones:

If you’re attached to a particular outcome, and/or you’re prone to hyperfocus on expectations. This is particularly problematic in relationship readings. If a reader picks up a probability of hooking up with a particular person, you aren’t helping the connection by tapping your finger impatiently and psychically telling the person to hurry up. You will only frustrate yourself, and you could delay or damage the prospect.
Attaching to time frames. Timing is one of the trickiest aspects of readings, and you can cause yourself terrific frustration by expecting hard deadlines. Instead of asking for, or holding tightly to, a specific timeline, ask instead for the order of events (i.e., X will happen, and then Y, and then Z).
Treating a psychic reading as entertainment. (It happens.) Sometimes people think it would be fun to get their fortune told. An ethical professional provides guidance and insight that’s more valuable than that.
Asking about other people. If you are not directly involved in a situation and are just curious about someone else, is it really your business? What will you do with the information?
Asking about whether or when someone is going to die. Many readers will not touch the question. One way of looking at this is that it is between that person and God. Another way: how would knowing this change your behavior? Are there specific actions you would take? Things you would say to the person? Amends you would make? The fact that you considered asking about death is an invitation to act as if and change your behavior now.

If the reason behind wanting to know is that you are a caretaker facing burnout, reframe questions from your perspective: How can you safeguard your energies or find others to share your burden? Or follow the earlier suggestion about timing: what sequence of events should I watch for?

Talking more than listening. Your choice if you want to pay someone to hear you out, but you may be missing the chance for helpful insight. This sign, and the next one, could be prompts for therapy.
Arguing with the reader or the information. That response might indicate this reader is not a good fit. The response could also, however, be a sign that something more is going on with you. If you find yourself justifying your position or telling the reader why
the message couldn’t possibly happen, pay attention, and look inside.

Above all, maintain responsibility for your choices and your life; do not hand them over to the reader. Engage discretion, take the information, and use it to move ahead.

Not all mentioned here applies to medium sessions; use your judgement.

13 Tactics For Overcoming Overwhelm

Are you feeling stressed and overwhelmed?

In today’s fast-paced world, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed with the demands of daily life. Whether it’s work, family, or personal obligations, the feeling of being stretched too thin can be overwhelming. However, it’s important to remember that you’re not alone in feeling this way. Countless individuals from all walks of life experience overwhelm at some point in time. The good news is that there are tactics that can help you overcome this feeling and regain a sense of control. In this article, we’ll explore 13 tactics for overcoming overwhelm, so you can start feeling more confident and in control of your life.

1. Admit to yourself you can’t do everything.

Some problems are bigger than any one individual can fix. Some problems belong to other people. We may care about them and can help if asked, but it’s not our place to shoulder their burdens. (Take comfort in Star Trek’s prime directive of not interfering in a culture’s right to
self-determination.) What you can do is take care of yourself, and put yourself in the best possible condition to create a fulfilling life and to contribute to the world. (Consider the possibility that doing the first amounts to the second.)

2. Make your well-being a priority. Optimally, the priority.

Give yourself permission to take care of yourself. The air mask metaphor is overworked, but still appropriate: Put your mask on before you help others with theirs. If you’re gasping for breath, you won’t have energy to spare for others.Several tactics grow out of this one:

* Say “no” to requests you don’t want to accept.

This step is tough for people-pleasers. The lockdown has moved a lot of people off this.

* Let texts and email sit; respond when – or if – you feel calm and ready.

* Take breaks from people and situations that endanger your well-being. That includes – and even starts with – breaks from the news and social media. Some platforms spread outrage and despair and hopelessness like viruses. Steer clear. If you find yourself falling prey, leave.

3. Pick your battles.

Don’t take the bait when invited into a fight. People are so polarized right now that you have little chance of winning someone over to your side, no matter how many facts you trot in front of them. Don’t waste your energy arguing with people online. If you encounter anger or some other form of negativity and you respond to it, you are giving it air and validation. If you respond with anger or the like, you are fueling and increasing it. No one wins except energy vampires who feel on discord. Instead, neutralize. Don’t engage. Even better:

4. Send compassion and forgiveness to people who set you off.

See the fear and damage behind the words and behavior that’s bothering you. The adage “hurt people hurt people” may help. Send something soothing and calming instead of what they’re dishing out. You will be disrupting the cycle of negativity. Also, if you can pray for people you dislike, you can pray for anyone.

5. Monitor your energy.

Notice when it lags, when it rises, and when it feels off.

6. Take your energy back.

Visualize a horseshoe magnet, point it at a person, place, or situation, and feel the magnet pulling your energy back.

7. Use water to clear your energy field.

If you take showers, as the spray hits your head, tell it to wash away anything you’d like to release: emotions, sensations, anxiety, cares, thoughts, interactions with specific people, anything. A tub is not suited to this because you will soak in whatever you’re releasing.
If you have access to open water, such as a lake or an ocean, lie on a float and imagine anything you’d like to release gently seeping out of your cells into the water.

8. Leave open spaces in your schedule.

9. Indulge in fluff.

Sometimes escape is exactly what your spirit needs. Hallmark Channel movies do the trick for some people. For others, it’s old sitcoms, or trivia games, or animal videos. Don’t judge yourself. Treat yourself.

10. Indulge in nature.

Going to a natural setting can be restorative without your logical brain getting in the way. Simply looking at plants or water can soothe your mood. When the temperature permits, take off your shoes and put bare feet in the grass, dirt, or sand. Hug a tree. Run a hand across
growing herbs or flowers. Can’t go outdoors? Run a nature video on your computer or device or TV while you’re engaged in some other activity. Scads of videos are available of swimming fish. Some aquariums run webcams of floating jellyfish, or frolicking otters or sea lions. The Monterey Bay Aquarium is an especially good source for this and sometimes broadcasts waves gently crashing in the Pacific outside its walls.

11. Enjoy your food.

Pay attention to it. Eat it without distractions. Allow yourself dessert now and again.

12. Look for like-hearted people.

Gravitate to people and groups that share your core values. There’s strength in numbers and also comfort in knowing you’re not alone.

13. Tend to your own garden.

Focus on your little nook in the vastness of life, and keep it as tidy as you can.

In conclusion, feeling overwhelmed is a common experience, and it’s important to remember that it’s okay to take a step back and prioritize your mental health. By implementing these 13 tactics, you can start to take control of your life and regain a sense of balance. Remember to be patient with yourself and to take things one step at a time. You’ve got this!

Overcome Fear & Build Intuitive Resilience

Overcome Fear

Build Intuitive Resilience by Checking your Fear-o-Meter

This third-dimensional reality is how most humans know of life as it is, without question. This dimension is predominantly driven by fear in a systematic global society which can make us very vulnerable. Many people accept it as it is and endure it. Many also don’t accept it and try to fight it.

The way to control people’s minds is first through fear, which promotes self-doubt and vulnerability. Then to offer them a solution in a loving manner, making them feel special and important. When you buy into this often-subtle manipulation, you are lost well in the illusion-driven third dimension. And once lost in this, your mind can take you places so far away from your soul that it is very concerning.

In recent years with the changeable environment we have endured, people’s fear-o-meters were through the roof. With nowhere to turn, we literally saw people fighting over toilet paper while shopping and buying guns during the pandemic. I remember watching this with interest. Have these people got no concept of Spirituality? Why are they so very fearful? Toilet paper? Is this the way through? Guns won’t kill off a virus, threaten or hurt as many people as you think (all in the name of fear, fear of what? Not having enough supplies? Or just fear itself?) Neither toilet paper nor a gun will stop you from catching a virus. In the aftermath of the pandemic, we have watched many areas of society go into a vast nosedive, with significant increases in crime, add to that the more prevalent natural disasters and environmental challenges, the volatile housing market, and the rising cost of living . . . and more . . . all this is third dimension driven.

So why the considerable fear reaction? The pandemic was something not expected by most and denied by many. Health authorities wanted strategies in place so we would be prepared; sadly, this did not happen. So, we were left in a global scramble and mess to sort it all out. (We were living in a safe illusion, a bubble of misconception). And just like a house of cards, it only took one aspect to fail, and it all fell to pieces. Life has not challenged us to build an intuitive resilience.

My own experience has made me feel that we, as humans, must absolutely become more in tune with our intuition, and therefore live more according to the internal guidance that this provides. So we can survive and thrive and evolve in a positive direction. We should build a solid resilience to fear by looking at it as fear itself, regardless of the circumstances.

To stay balanced and on track intuitively, we must check what I term our fear-o-meter. The way to do this is through self-awareness. Seeing the self and becoming in tune with our emotions. To many, owning and admitting that you are scared and afraid is seen as rendering us powerless. However, it is not. On the contrary, it is very powerful because once we admit and surrender to the fact that we are fearful, we then open intuitively to the higher flow. I like to acknowledge the fear, then I visualize a fear-o-meter (mine looks very much like those signs you see near forests and in the country that rate the fire danger), but yours can be whatever works for you. The more intense the fear, the more likely you are to become irrational. Your thoughts may take off in a direction seeking power and control. Then you have completely lost touch intuitively. So if you rate your fear, this will indicate how out of balance you are.

Our fears are often linked to our conditioning and beliefs, previous life events, past lives, and worries about what may happen, so I also like to do a past, present, and potential future fear rating. That way, you have a good sense of navigation. The past and the potential future sits away from us energetically (it’s not in our energy field until it becomes reality in our present), so once those fears are acknowledged, they often just transcend into a neutral state. The present is where most of the fear exists.

Now I need to emphasize that we also must employ common sense. This should not be difficult because, in my view, common sense and intuition partner up together very well. Common sense keeps us grounded, and if we find ourselves being pulled in a direction that does not sit well with our intuition and common sense together, then we are heading off track. Nothing should pull you anywhere. You should feel relaxed and clear, not stressed, anxious, or even on a high.

I was lucky. I was not fearful in the pandemic. The only time I felt my intuitive vibration lowering was when a relative of mine on Facebook posted about how afraid he was, and this is terrible, and if you say you are not afraid, you are lying, and so on and so forth. I began to doubt myself, then quickly recognized it was only his fear being projected onto me, and therefore was an illusion. So, I came back to center and intuition.

Self-awareness is, in my opinion, one of the most powerful tools in the universe. Of course, surrendering from fear to the higher flow takes time and practice, but as you build up your resilience, it will become easier and, in time, second nature.

The Energy of Cognitive Dissonance and the Link to Spirit

Cognitive dissonance is the occurrence of actions that do not marry up to the thoughts of the individual. The old “do as I say don’t do as I do” type of behavior, however the behavior is unconscious, because even though aware of it, the person cannot seem to stop themselves from this behavior. You can find this energy everywhere, it is found in generational beliefs, in different cultures, in our sexuality, our gender roles; it is pretty much everywhere in the human experience. It is from learned or forced beliefs bestowed upon us about ourselves, how we should behave, and the world and people in it. It is heightened in those who have an illusionary view of themselves, and those who are not grounded. (The majority of people are not grounded).

An illusionary self-view also contributes to this, and this may come from low self-esteem or delusions of grandeur, or a need to win, those are just a few examples. It is found where we play out our psychological control dramas, that of which we have learned to survive. When we become aware of what we are doing but cannot seem to stop it, then we are in cognitive dissonance.

Humans are naturally intuitive beings, and through generations of being taught what to believe, how to behave, being caught in family trauma and dynamics, we lose a large part of our intuition and find ourselves locked in the condition of cognitive and spiritual dissonance.

Once we lose ourselves to this, we find ourselves repeating patterns over and over and over, until such time that we wake up and break this cycle. When we wake up, we see what we are doing, our thoughts and actions, and there is a surge of lighter energy as this breakthrough is made and we are self-aware. Many people call this a light bulb moment, other people may experience a breakthrough, and others who have endured a particularly difficult path may even have a nervous breakdown.

In this moment of break through our consciousness is suspended in time and space (in the world of Spirit), as our minds process this new realization, and therefore find new ways of doing things. It is from here that we choose to create out new reality. This is not always easy, because in this physical reality, although we see things from a new Spiritual perspective, and we open more, which means our natural psychic abilities and empathetic abilities are heightened. The creation of our new reality can be limited, due to the everyday structure of the societies that our humanness has created. So even though we see what is real or not, we can be left to endure the old ways out of necessity to survive. This moment can also bring to consciousness a whole myriad of feelings, intuitions, good and bad, it can be confusing because it is condensing everything that has happened to a person into one energetic porthole, which is much like experiencing a lifetime in a moment.

For example, we may see through someone’s manipulative behavior, where others have not yet woken up to it, and may have to continue to tolerate this behavior and navigate our way around it until such time that it is safe to make the actual change that lines up with our new level of consciousness. We may also feel very different like we do not belong, yet we do not know why. Or we may have suffered abuse so painful that our mind has sheltered us form those memory by blocking it and suddenly it pops up.

Sometimes when we have a breakthrough, the answers do not always present themselves immediately and we may find ourselves falling back into dissonance and repeating the same pattern again. Sometimes the newfound awareness is scary, because in many ways it can be like letting a bird out of a cage that has only ever known life inside that cage. It can be overwhelming.

When we understand that these light bulb moments or breakthroughs and change of perspectives, are taking us through to the world of Spirit and Higher Consciousness then we can slow down and ask Spirit for guidance. We can understand that we are not losing our minds, we are actually finding our true Spiritual mind, and we can be comfortable in seeking help. It is wise to question everything as you go forth on this process.

This is where the support of top-level tested and approved psychics, such as those on BAP (Shay Parker’s Best American Psychics), healers and readers the unconscious as well as therapists are needed. In these troubled times, we can literally observe the patterns of others, however it is more important that we learn to observe our own patterns. Once we see what we are doing, we can ask Spirit to help us to grow and change.

To summarize, the world is Spirit is that place between Spiritual cognitive dissonance, and a new potential reality. This is like that place we go to as we are falling asleep, the place between our learned consciousness, and our dream state, as we travel over to the world of Spirt in our sleep. It is pure Spirit.

As a healer and transcendent psychic reader, meaning that I read both the learned consciousness and the unconscious (the hidden thoughts, beliefs and patterns that bind us), I have helped many with these breakthroughs, as we link energies to connect with Spirit for guidance along the journey of our life path.

Self-Imposed Barriers to Manifesting

Manifestation means we immerse ourselves in a visualized environment so we feel we are living in that environment until it becomes our reality. Some people believe and teach that manifesting does not involve action. Books like The Secret, for example, teach you to sit quietly and imagine what you want, and you will get it. I wish to tell you that things are just that simple.

Manifesting also involves action, but inspired action. We must follow the signs or omens so that we act inspired by the universe. There are many reasons why something we desire only manifests or takes a short time to display. Often, those reasons involve some self-imposed barriers or blockages. One self-imposed barrier is our beliefs. Unfortunately, our thoughts do not always align with our desires. Imagine, for
example, a person who has failed at manifesting a remote job. That person might have an unconscious belief that they do not deserve the job or that perhaps remote jobs are only given to “smarter, younger, or more tech-savvy candidates.” Ideas can also include fear of the responsibilities that may come with tremendous success, that minor roles are challenging, etc.

Whether the beliefs are conscious or subconscious, they can hold us back, so we must reflect on our thoughts and see if they create barriers to manifesting. To identify your beliefs, use your awareness and ask yourself, “What is my belief about success? What are my thoughts about money? What are my thoughts about love, relationships, etc.?”

Once you are clear about your beliefs, you can change them. But, of course, changing beliefs will take practice and dedication. First, you must question yourself and reflect on your feelings regarding a situation. But, with practice, you can change your beliefs, and your desires will manifest!

Another self-imposed barrier to manifesting is self-sabotage. Self-sabotaging can be present in many ways. For example, a person has a very successful YouTube channel, and to continue to grow the track, the person has to create more engaging videos. The person knows
that they should take a content creation course, but they start procrastinating. They don’t want to do it but don’t know why. They don’t feel motivated. Suddenly, they realize that they are afraid of tremendous success. Being fearful of greater success is a belief, so the person starts self-sabotaging. There is a book called “The Big Leap.” In this book, the author discusses how most of us operate in our comfort zone but never get to our site of genius. When you procrastinate about taking action, I want you to pause, reflect, and examine your underlying beliefs and why you might be self-sabotaging your potential manifestations!

Another crucial factor in manifesting is Divine Timing, and I added my vision board to my manifesting plan. The more I stay focused and keep myself free and clear of stress and anxiety, what I ask for comes back to me, and it is always better than what I asked. God has a plan for all of us. The key to this was turning to him, allowing him to help, and having faith and trust that will go a long way in your life.

I encourage you to join me on next week’s blog, where we will delve into this topic. Until next week!

Following Omens

I remember the first time I read the book The Alchemist. It was early in my spiritual journey and the book intrigued me. By the way, if you haven’t read the book yet, I encourage you to get yourself a copy or listen to the audiobook which is available for free on YouTube.

One of the main points in The Alchemist is that we have to learn the language of the world/universe. The book says that the world communicates in Omens and that a path has been established for everyone to follow. We just must read the Omens that are left for us along the path. But what are Omens? Omens are messages that foretell the future. The universe can, and does, communicate in Omens/symbols but sometimes we are just too busy to pay attention.

The energy of 2023 says that to manifest, we must be in the receiving mode and be patient. The year of the rabbit encourages us to align with the flow of the universe. We must get out of our head and get into our heart, and learn to speak the language of the world like the book The Alchemist tells us. So, in this blog I will share the meaning of some omens present in nature. The omens might be presented to you in dreams, pictures, when on a walk, etc. Just make sure that you are in the receiving mode and aligned with nature’s flow, so you don’t miss them!

Rabbits: they appear on your path to bring you messages of abundance and/or fertility.

Crows: when crows appear on our path, it means that the truth will be finally revealed to you.

Spiders: feared by many, disliked by more! But spiders are an omen that tells you that a friend will come to help you.

Ladybug: these cute little insects are omens of joy and good luck.

Snake: although they carry a negative connotation due to the Adam & Eve story in the bible, snakes are a great omen that tell you that your passion will open doors of power.

Deer: When you see a deer, your spirit team is telling you that they know what you are going through. They’ve got your back, so you should have faith!

Lizard: lizards are great omens that remind us to pay attention to our dreams. They tell us that our dreams are, or will, be revealing something important.

Owl: these birds are considered enigmatic and mysterious. As omens, they bring a clear message that we need to proceed with caution because something BIG is coming our way.

Cat: friends of many, but disliked by some, cats remind us that hidden forces and spiritual powers are with and near us.

There are many other animals and object omens that the universe uses to communicate with us. When you notice “something” on your path, pay attention. Connect with your inner guidance to figure out the significance of it for you and your life.
