Bringing Balance Into Life

I'm looking to bring balance into my life.

It starts with your mind. Bring your mind into balance. You flip-flop sometimes. Your body follows your mind.

I feel that I am mentally scattered and that is reflected in the environment in which I live. I create clutter. My home is in a state of disrepair inside and outside. I'm looking for balance to at least be the catalyst to bring order into the home. I live with my husband and my 30-year-old stepson. I feel most of the responsibility is on my shoulders to be the one to set the example to bring order into the house and that if I have order within me, it will be reflected in the house.

You have said the answer right there.

But, how do I get away from the flip-flopping, to get away from the inward chaos?

There is some fear in standing still, in trusting, in feeling safe. It goes back to childhood. Your root chakra needs to be reaffirmed that it is alright to be here, it is safe to be here, and it is a good place to be.

For you are like a butterfly, touching down on the flowers representing Earth, enjoying the nectar from time to time, and then flitting away up into the sky. You eventually come back and touch ground, but only momentarily. The results that you can bring to Earth are only little bits.

You have to want to be here and be comfortable being here in order to produce results in your inner life, your home, and your outer life.

Yes, it's interesting that you say, "comfortable being here" because at times I feel as though life is too difficult.

Yes, because you are a butterfly. Can you imagine if you were captured in a jar and asked to stay still? Your nature is to flit about and to connect with the higher realms, to touch here and there, and to bring Heaven to Earth, but you must wear a little bit more gravity boots so you remain more solid when you are connecting.

Allow yourself the opportunity to flit away and to reconnect with your Source that you love so dearly, but also be mindful in reconnecting with the Earth, with those that you love, and with your home so that you can bring Heaven to the Earth. That is your purpose for being here.

Our Purpose for Being Here

Yes, my purpose for being here. That is one of the questions, which I wrote. Right now, where I stand, I feel...

Where you "fly".

My purpose is to "fly"?

Yes, but when you are flying you are also uplifting others. You are helping others to see what they cannot see, to trust and know what they cannot trust and know for themselves, and to help them to connect with Source. But, you cannot do this if you are not also grounded.

I agree.

This is about creating more balance in your life. So resolve the issues that come up for you as you are finding it difficult to be here. Go back to the emotions and experiences, the feelings in present and past, as to why it feels uncomfortable and explore these a bit. Find ways of helping yourself to feel safe.

Also, you can create a bubble around yourself, so to speak, so that as you are walking on the Earth, you are also still connected more knowingly to Source and feeling more of a shield, shall we say, so that you are feeling protected as you walk the Earth.

I'm glad you brought that up because there are many times when I forget to protect myself and then I suffer the consequences.

Sort of like you are looking into someone's home from the outside like a peeping Tom and you are curious about these people who live inside. So you look in the window from the outside and you observe their nature because you are curious. They are unaware that you are observing them, but then they discover, for some reason, they must turn around because their intuition says to them to do so. When they look around, they see that you are peering into them. They become frightened and they scare you away.

It is sort of similar to how you are going about your life in that you are observing others and taking in their vibrations. They are not scaring you away so much, but we are saying that you are peering into their lives. In doing so, you become one with them and you, in a sense, loose your, not truly your connection to Source, but your sense of connection to Source because now your attention is more fully brought to those that you are observing. It's important to begin to learn to observe with a sense of detachment.

Observing with Detachment

Are you speaking of the way that I observe others as well as the way I observe myself?

Is like people watching. You are empathic and so you become them for a moment, as you are curious about them. You loose your sense of what is self and what are the boundaries and your connection to Source.

Alright. Would it be helpful then to look at my own situation with the clutter, which I see as chaos, as though I were a stranger coming in to be objective?

We would not worry about the chaos of your home at this time, but begin to work more with your own feelings as you are interacting with others. Allow the house to slowly clean itself up naturally. As you feel more in control and more able, you will sort through things and say, "This pile I will do today," and another day you will approach something else. For, it is not the house so much that is the cause for the (chaos in the) house, but is the result of your inner house. If you are to help the causes of your inner house first, which is your interactions with others, then your home will become less cluttered.

We would like to help you to think of yourself as observing others with a fence around you if this helps. They cannot get you. They are not the boogie man and they cannot come through this fence unless you let them, for you have the key.

Can we also say to this subject that as you begin to practice this sense of stability as we will call it, that you first put yourself in situations that are not so threatening trying to maintain a sense of calm such as a store or a supermarket or a mall or a coffee shop and try to feel at ease and calm within these spaces.

Then begin to put yourself in more "threatening" places where you know that you are more easily thrown out of balance such as with those that provoke you or have been critical of you or those that you are feeling the need to care for and so they pull your strings in that way. See if you can be in the moment with them, staying relaxed and calm and connected to Source as you interact with them, feeling this fence or bubble around you.

That will be especially helpful during holiday gatherings.

Yes, it will be helpful all the time. It is a continual practice.

Honoring the Physical Body

I wanted to ask about bringing balance in terms of my health and honoring my body with proper diet and exercise and to be able to finally shed this excess weight and have all my systems functioning as they should. Over the course of the last 17 years, I have gained approximately 50 lbs. which I do not need. It would be nice to be rid of most of that, not all of that.

This is somewhat of a protection for you.

Yes.

Also, as you are feeling more comfortable in this world and in your spaces, you will begin to tune into your body's needs better and honor them more, not needing to comfort it in ways that have become habit for you.

Yes, that's true. Some of the so-called "comfort" foods I know I have too much of and they are not good for me.

Learning to be comfortable on Earth and with others will allow you to be in your body more fully and when you come into your body, you will be able to listen to it better and help it with whatever it is requiring of you. You will be able to sense it more and honor it more. Being more fully present in it, you will desire to take better care of it.

In taking better care of myself, does that mean that I will be blessed with good health?

We will say that you are empathic and that you will feel those things that others feel. It will be a continual vigilance for you to separate.

Yes.

You are able to have good health. You are healthy, but you will need to be more mindful of your health.

Attracting Financial Abundance

I would like to ask about attracting financial abundance. I am in a state right now where there are not many dollars coming into my life. My husband makes a good living and is able to supplement my income, but at the same time, I don't want to be burdensome even though I feel that he doesn't see me that way. It's just that since I left my previous occupation, I'm not making as much money as I used to.

Can we talk about this in different terms?

Please. That's fine.

Say your first sentence on this subject.

How can I attract financial abundance?

Everywhere you say these words "financial abundance" or "more money", we would like you to substitute the word "joy". Can you repeat your question with this new word?

Sure. How can I attract more "joy" into my life?

How does this feel to you?

This feels fantastic! I'm smiling from ear to ear.

Is not so much pressure.

There is no pressure.

And if you were following your bliss, do you think you would be doing something that other people would find beneficial?

I would have to say "yes" to that.

Because you are one who is here to serve.

True. I realize that is my calling.

Therefore, as you more fully come into yourself in this way, others will desire to pay you.

As you say that, I feel a fountain within me. A fountain of joy that is rising up and overflowing.

We would like you to take it even a step further. Anytime you are feeling lack, we would like you to fill a small cup of water. Look at it for a moment and see it as your abundance and your joy. Drink it slowly, imagining what it is you want to have without any resistance. Imagine you are filling yourself with these qualities.

Thank you.

You are enough. You are getting better every day. You are becoming more knowledgeable and more productive and more able to be of service. Therefore, is not much more time of learning before you can be receiving more dollars.

I feel the time is not too far away.

This is correct and do not hold back a little bit longer than you should for the tendency is there to do that.

Yes.

Partially out of not feeling ready or good enough and partially out of enjoying a little bit too much leisure.

Yes, I am looking forward to the time when I step into my power.

We would say that, as a metaphor, you are putting on your "new self". You have stepped into the feet, you have pulled this suit up to your knees, and it is about ready to come to the waist at this point.

(Laughs) Very good. Thank you! I hope you don't mind that I find some humor in your description of the suit.

We are hoping that you will.

Developing Clairvoyance & Sensing Energy

May I move on to the next question? I would like to speak on the subject of clairvoyance. I would like to have my third eye open so that I might be able to see auras better and be able to see angels and spirit guides.

We think that you sense energy very well and that this is a primary gift for you, one to be appreciated and used as well as clairvoyance. It is one that is a little bit more difficult to interpret, trust, and describe, but is significant nonetheless. Therefore, do not skip over this.

We also think that because you are so connected with the upper worlds, that if you were to begin to see them in your daily movements about you, it would become a bit distracting. Your difficulty grounding at this time would be even more difficult.

As you need to see, you will see, but work with the gifts that you have right now primarily and realize they are just as good. You can feel an aura. You can interpret it intuitively. You can sense others guides and loved ones. Is not always necessary to see.

Seeing without feeling is difficult. If you were to see without the ability to feel, you would be, we would say, a little bit handicapped. Your ability to feel without seeing is less so. Trust that the seeing comes in different ways, not necessarily through the ability to see with the third eye, but to see as the blind man sees.

To see through intuition?

Yes, and feeling and hearing.

Deepening Communication with Animals

I would like to ask you how I can deepen my connection to animals and be able to know and understand what they want to tell me?

We think you love them very, very much.

That I do.

And they also are appreciative of you. We would say, ironically, pull back a bit.

Oh, am I trying to hard?

No, but your energy of love sometimes does not allow you to see the truth or to hear the truth. Because you are so infatuated with the animal and adoring of the animal, it is sometimes hard to receive the communications from the animal. You have enveloped it with such love that is almost difficult for it to communicate its feelings to you.

You are not as able to hear as if you were to listen more objectively and hold your love at bay a bit. You can love them, but detach a bit more. Then, after the session, you can say to the animal, "Oh, thank you so much for sharing with me!" but do not go into the energy with this during the reading.

Deepening Intuitive Readings with People

One of the questions that I wrote down is that when I'm giving a reading to someone, I feel that the information I receive intuitively is more of a general nature and not as specific as I would like it to be.

Are their questions for you "specific" or are they general?

Sometimes the questions are general.

And do you ask them to come with "specific" questions?

Easy question, easy answer! (Laughs) Very good.

You are meeting them where they are asking you to meet them. Some people do not wish to work on themselves or know the root causes or know the truth of the matter. They prefer something more glossy, more upbeat, fun, positive, and predictive. If this is something you are willing to do, alright, but we think you can dig deeper.

Is the digging deeper both within myself as well as with the client?

We think that if you wish to help them problem solve in a more deep way, if you are not satisfied with only providing general information, but wish to go deeper, then ask them to come with that same intention and preparation so that your work feels more meaningful and those that are ready to do the work will show up.

We think your love and compassion and gentleness will and can attract those who are dealing with some fairly serious issues so be careful what you ask for. We do not mean to scare you. We are saying that you can deal with heavy things and your nature is delightful, kind, and loving and there will be those who feel safe to open up to you.

Thank you.

There are also different settings. Some are parties or homes or at a busy location where it is not appropriate to dig deeper. Your gregarious nature may wish to do these things and so you may help both groups of people. It is your choice.

Seeing & Sensing Energy Blocks in People & Animals

Thank you. What can I do to open myself up to see energy blocks when I am giving Reiki and scanning a person or animal? Sometimes I can sense them, but I would like to be able to see an energy block.

You do not always need to see to understand. When you watch your television, do you know how it works?

No, only that I turn the television on and there are frequencies and somehow I get the picture.

Yes, somehow the clients get what they need. You connect your frequency to that of Spirit. You ask to be a channel of healing and the energy flows to where it is needed.

When you place your hands physically on a person or an animal, you will feel intuitively guided or they will say, "This part" or "Move up a bit" or "Over there he seems to have the problem."

You allow your hands and their conversation and their wiggling to all come together. As your hands seem to return to normal from an excited, warm, cool or vibrating state, then you can search for a new area on the body to place the hands for wholeness.

You may also find at times that you do not feel anything and yet the person or animal that you are working on says, "Oh, thank you so much. I feel much better for all you have done," and you think, "I did not do anything," and yet you did.

So, is a matter of trust and going with the flow. You do not need to seek out the spots or interpret them or understand them to work them out or heal them or remove them. Just be a channel of love.

Thank you very much.

Good day.
