Opening Your Own Intuitive Abilities/Programming Your Internal GPS

     The vast majority of the country is experiencing the effects of the "Polar Vortex".  It's cold outside, but today we are gong to talk about something that's sure to warm your insides.  I've been asked more times than I can count, are people born with psychic abilities, or is it a learned trait.  The answer is yes, to a degree both.  And the follow up to that question would undoubtedly be, how can it be yes to both? Today I'm going to try explain how it can be yes to both.

     First, my belief is that when God said that he made man in his own image, he didn't mean that we looked like him, two arms, a head, two legs, two ears and a mouth.  He meant that when he said, "Let there be light, and there was light, " that we have that ability.  More people reject this idea because it is easier to blame someone or something else for what happens in our lives, than to take responsibility for it.  We are all born with what I call an Internal GPS.  In order for it to work for us, all we need to do is become "in tune" with it.  Let's think for a minute how a GPS works, once you program it to where you want to go, it will give you directions, and if you get off route it will let you know that you've missed a turn, it will then reroute and give you alternative directions.  Our GPS works in much the same way.  More often than not, though most ignore the directions, after it lest us know we've missed a turn, it will give you a sign, and after you have ignored it enough times it will just go silent.  When we listen to those directions, it gets louder and louder, thus giving you more and more information.  

     An example of how the guidance works, you are driving down the road, getting ready to get on the highway, but you hear this little voice that says, no, don't get on the highway, it's backed up.  You ignore that and get on the highway, only to find out that the highway is indeed backed up.  Frustration comes and you say, I wish I'd listened to that little voice.  Another good example, is the sun is shining and the weatherman says there's only a ten percent chance of rain.  No real need to take the umbrella with you.  Your GPS says differently, it will come up sudden, and it will be a torrential downpour, this time you listen and take the umbrella.  And the rain comes, you feel so glad that you listened to that guidance.  

     Each of us has a team that works for and with us.  Our team consists of spirit guides, guardian angels, and loved ones that have crossed over.  When we don't listen to the guidance, they just question and say, why bother, he/she is not listening any way.  The times when you listen, they do a little happy dance and say, "Hey, she's listening, let's tell her more."  And it gets more frequent and louder.  How you are listening and hearing that guidance is your own intuitive abilities that we are given at birth.  If the intuitive gifts have been turned off due to not listening, then one must relearn how to use them, to become in tune with them so that it work towards your highest and best good.  

     How do you open your psychic or intuitive abilities and program your GPS?  One of the biggest keys to doing this is learning to meditate.  Meditation sounds easy, but in reality for a lot of people it is difficult.  We live in a world where most of us operate on sensory overload, therefore shutting down and tuning in to that quiet place in our mind is very difficult, if not impossible.  One of the best ways to be able to accomplish this is through the use of a guided meditation.  Many psychics have produced guided meditation, as well others.  A very good guided meditation that I often recommend to people is one by Dr. Brian Weiss called Mirrors In Time.  But like authors and books, not everyone will resonate.  If one doesn't work for you, try another one until you find that works.  Don't give up on the first try though, give it at least five days of good effort.  Then you can try another.    Getting to that quiet place in your mind is important so you will be able to listen to that guidance.  Learning to listen and trust the guidance is key to unlocking your intuitive/psychic gifts.

     Once you have mastered meditation, you can start asking or focusing on a question or an area of your life that you need guidance in.  I always suggest that you start small, so you can learn to trust the guidance.  I am conducting a workshop on February 22nd in Fredericksburg, Virginia to teach people how to Open their Own Psychic Abilities, and Programming Their Own GPS.  Pre-registration in required for participation in the workshop, and limited to 20 guests.  We will be doing meditations, sending and receiving messages, psychometry, and energy imprints.  To register go to www.heavencallingearth.com, and get in touch with me.  

     I hope this blog has warmed you up to your psychic gifts and how to use your GPS.  It doesn't do much to get rid of the Polar Vortex, but it's a good distraction at least.  I send you love and light and look forward to the next time we blog.

Eternal Life, Reincarnation and Past Lives

     Welcome to 2014!  This year has so many great things to behold.  As we look forward to this new year ahead of us, I've been asked to look backwards and talk a bit about past lives, reincarnation and eternal life.  Let me start off by saying, in no way do I claim to an expert on this subject.  Really, I believe I'm in the infant stages of learning about it all.  As many of you are, I'm hungry for knowledge on the subject.    I believe that when we seek knowledge about these things our best friend can be reading.  Choose as many authors as you can, read as much as you can, take hold of what resonates with you and throw the rest back.

    

     My firm belief is that Life on Earth, is "school".  We are here to learn lessons, repay karmic lessons, and experience as much as we possibly can.  This has been my take on the subject for a long while now.  First, I believe very strongly that we do have eternal life.  The eternal life that is referenced in the Bible along with other books on the subject.  Part of the way we have eternal life is that we incarnate on earth, and we live through a lifetime, we finish that lifetime and we then "die" or "passover" into the spirit/heavenly realm.  Birth here is death in that realm, and death here is birth into that one, hence we are eternal.  A quote that I read a long time ago really resonated with me on that subject, it was "We are not human beings having a spiritual experience, but we are spiritual beings having a human experience."  It lends a great definition for what and who we really are.  To understand things we have to use terms or words that we can understand in this dimension.  And there are so many things that there are no words to make us fully understand the other dimensions and realms that exist.  Many of you have probably heard of the Akashic Records.  The Akashic Records are the records for each soul and being and their lifetimes, their experiences, their karma.  It could also be called the The Book of Life, as it is referenced in the Bible.  

     A rather simplistic way that I've been shown how we do things in the spirit realm/heavenly dimension is that when we are planning an earthly lifetime, if you will, we sit down with what I will call guidance counselors, or an elders to go over what lessons we want to learn in the up coming lifetime.  Just like in high school, there are mandatory lessons/classes, and there are electives.  Patience is a mandatory lesson in every lifetime, and it comes up multiple times.  Some of the lessons include tolerance, service, and humility.  This is just to name a few.  I'm sure everyone is aware that the way we learn patience is to put in a position of having to wait for something.  When that lesson comes up we have a tendency to say, "hey, wait, I already learned that lesson. Can you hurry up and give me what I want now?"  Obviously, we haven't learned it as well as we may think we have.    How about tolerance, now this is one that can be learned in so many different ways.  You may come in being part of a group that hasn't been given that tolerance, it can be done through race, sexual orientation, disability, economic level.  There's no way I could possibly list all the ways that tolerance can come up in life lessons.  Service to others is another lesson.  You may learn it through having a child that has a disability, or a relative that gets a terminal illness, or by serving your country.  I believe you get the general idea here of how these things come up.  Just like school, if you don't get the lesson, pass it so to speak, you are going to repeat it.

    When you have something that keeps coming up, and you can't figure out why there is definitely a life lesson attached to it.  A good example of this is when a person keeps getting into abusive relationships.  Let's say there's a woman and she is with a guy who is an abuser, whether it's verbal abuse, emotional abuse, or physical abuse, there are a multitude of lessons that can be involved here.  I actually had a client that was in an abusive relationship for a number of years.  After a big altercation where she was choked she ended the relationship.  She was moving along very nicely and had, in fact, met a man who was wonderful to her.  For Valentine's he bought her an iPod and loaded it with love songs.  He treated like a true princess.  Shortly after Valentine's Day she ended the relationship and went back to the abuser.  In her mind and part of her being she was associating being loved with being abused.  The new guy wasn't abusing her, so therefore he couldn't really love her.  This association could have started anywhere.  It could have been from the relationship her parents had, or the one she had with her parents, it could have even come from a past lifetime.  In any event, her lesson here was to learn that abuse does not equal love.  Until she could break that definition and association in her mind then she would continue to look for love in abusive relationships.    This is a primary reason that when we have something that is going wrong in our life we need to look closely at it and determine what the lesson is, learn it, and be able to move onto the next one, and to happier times.

     These types of lessons bring us up to "soul mates".  I can't tell you the number of times I've had people ask me about when they will meet their "soul mate", or they think they have and it's just not working out the way they want it to.  We do not have just one "soul mate".  From everything I've been shown, and learned from others as well, is that we travel in soul groups.    In these soul groups we agree to learn certain lessons together.  Before we go to the romantic end of that, lets explore other parts of those soul agreements.  For instance, you have a drunk driver and he/she hits a car full of teenagers and kills them, or disables or maims them.  While the agreement is not in the forefront of the conscious mind, there was an agreement to go through this lesson or lessons for all involved.  There's also the possibility of it being attached to a karmic repayment.  If in a past life you were an abuser, you may come into your next life being on the other side of the abuse.  If you were the abuser this time you may be the abused.  

     Another area of question is the fact that souls do not have a sex.  In any given lifetime we choose what sex we will be.  Also the relationships can change around in lifetimes.  You may be the mother in one lifetime, a brother or sister in another or a friend.  A husband and wife in one lifetime maybe nothing more than friends in another.  When there has been a very strong connection when you come into contact in the current lifetime you will feel a very strong magnetic pull toward each other.  That magnetic pull may draw you close, and it can be one sided.  It's good to be mindful of that.  There are so many things that come into play, it would have been beneficial if we came with an instruction manuel.  But I guess that's the whole point, to learn the lessons.  As our souls get older, we may remember, or it's considered to be awakening.  It's not a matter of finding out who we are, but remembering who we are.  

      There are many authors on this subject.  Dr. Brian Weiss is one I would consider an expert on the subject.  He has written many books on the subject, offers guided meditation, or self hypnosis  CDs, as well as conducting workshops on the matter.  His first book is Many Masters Many Lives.  A few of the others books are Through Time Into Healing, Same Soul Different Body, Love is Eternal.  A meditation CD that I recommend frequently to my clients is Mirrors In Time.   Ian Stephenson has written Life Before Life, and Children Who Remember Previous Lives.  I also enjoyed Tom Shroder's book Old Souls.  If you are looking other books just do a search of past lives, reincarnation and the like, you will come up with an endless list.  Do your own research and enjoy the study.  Take what resonates with you and toss the rest back.  Most of all enter in with an open mind and heart.

     I've been asked that as a psychic medium am I able to see past lives for a person.  There are times when it will come up in a psychic reading, or a psychic medium reading.  When it comes up it is because the knowledge gained from it can help you currently.  If you are really interested in searching out knowledge of your past lives, you can do a past life regression.  Doing a regression can be very beneficial in helping learn and remember who you really are.

     When we remember we are here to learn life lessons, repay karma, and experience as much as we possibly can it gives a whole new perspective on eternal life, past lives, and soul mates.  Let us all remember and realize that the biggest lesson of all that we are here to learn is Unconditional Love.  Until next time, I send you Universal Love and Light.
