			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_343" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 85px"><img class="size-full wp-image-343" title="angel of serenity" src="http://healingintuitivegarden.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/angel-of-serenity.jpg" alt="Angels communicate with us through numbers" width="75" height="75" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Angels communicate with us through numbers</p></div>
<p>You have guardian angels with you right now~continuously, guaranteed! Your angels guide you through your life each and every day. They communicate with us in different ways, they may send messages to you through your thoughts, give you strange feelings, you may hear words, and even see visions. They also show you signs~that is, things that you see repeatedly with your physical eyes. One of their favorite signs relates to number sequences. These are numerals that you repeatedly see on license plates, phone numbers, clocks, and so on.</p>
<p>Do you ever wonder if any of these number sequences have meaning? Well, you’re not alone. I am a huge fan of Doreen Virtue, PhD.  She is one of the most well renowned persons on the subject of angels!  The following is an exert from one of her posts and from one of her many books on the subject of Angels.  She has written a book titled &#8220;Angel Numbers&#8221;, it is devoted to those numbers that the Angels communicate to us with, and their definitions.  So here&#8217;s a taste!</p>
<p style="padding-left: 60px;"><em> &#8220;Many people have asked us about their meaning (angel numbers) during our angel workshops. So, we went to the Source and asked for guidance to interpret the meanings of repetitive number sequences. As a longtime student of Pythagorean sacred numerology (including a past life as his student) and also an angel channeler, I rapidly received information as to what the angels were conveying through these sequences. </em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 60px;"><em>My workshop audiences loved it when I discussed the significance of these groups of numbers, and asked if I would compile a list for them to refer to. So, my book, Healing with the Angels, included a chapter listing the meanings. After Healing with the Angels many people said that they carried the book with them as a reference tool for interpreting the numbers they saw. They asked for an even more comprehensive book that was pocket-size which has just been published under the title, Angel Numbers.</em><br />
<em> Number-sequence interpretation is an easy way to receive messages from your angels. Numerals are everywhere, from digital clocks to billboards to license plates. Each number has a unique vibrational frequency relating directly to its meaning. </em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 60px;"><em>This ancient wisdom harkens back to great teachers such as Hermes, Plato, and Pythagoras. Pythagoras said that everything in the Universe is mathematically precise, and each number has its own vibration, meaning, and virtue. Plato wrote everything in the Universe is built from basic geometrical shapes derived from numbers, such as triangles (from three) and cubes (from four). The sacred mystical Jewish text of the Zohar (Kabbalah) discusses the power of the vibrations from numbers and letters. </em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 60px;"><em>The angels also say that the placement of the numbers in a sequence holds special meaning. For example, when there are three or more numbers, the center digit is of primary focus. The angels say that this number represents the “heart” of the matter.</em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 60px;"><em>Numerology is one of the few sacred sciences that has kept its magic from ancient to modern times. The angels remind us that we’re all alchemists, and that we’re powerful enough to manifest our true desires through Divine magic. Numbers point out the importance of seeing Heavenly messages third-dimensionally in order to show us the lessons, the growth opportunities, and the guidance contained within each of our experiences. </em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 60px;"><em>Below is a sampling of some number sequences your angels may show to you. Ask for clarification if the numbers’ message is unclear by saying to them silently or aloud, “Please clearly explain so I’ll easily understand.” As with any divination tool, defer to your own inner wisdom as the ultimate authority. In other words, if in doubt, then trust your gut. </em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 90px;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Three-digit Numbers</em></span></strong><br />
<em> 111 – Monitor your thoughts carefully, and be sure to only think about what you want, not what you don’t want. The sequence is a sign that there is a gate of opportunity opening up, and your thoughts are manifesting into form at record speeds. The 111 is like the bright light of a flash bulb. It means that the universe has just taken a snapshot of your thoughts and is manifesting them into form. Are you pleased with what thoughts the universe has captured? If not, correct your thoughts…ask your angels to help you with this if you have difficulty controlling or monitoring your thoughts.</em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 90px;"><em>123 — Simplify your life. Get rid of anything that’s pulling at your energy, time, or finances—especially anything that pulls you away from your life purpose. The ascended masters are helping you with this simplification.</em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 90px;"><em>222 — Have faith. Everything’s going to be all right. Don’t worry about anything, as this situation is resolving itself beautifully for everyone involved.</em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 90px;"><em>333 — The Ascended Masters are near you, desiring you to know that you have their help, love and companionship. Call upon the Ascended Masters often, especially when you see the number 3 patterns around you. Some of the more famous Ascended Masters include: Jesus, Moses, Mary, Quan Yin and Yogananda.</em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 90px;"><em>444 — Thousands of angels surround you at this moment, loving and supporting you. You have a very strong and clear connection with the angelic realm, and are an Earth angel yourself. You have nothing to fear—all is well.</em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 90px;"><em>555 — Buckle your seatbelts. A major life change is upon you. This change should not be viewed as being “positive” or “negative” since all change is but a natural part of life’s flow. Perhaps this change is an answer to your prayers, so continuing seeing and feeling yourself to be at peace.</em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 90px;"><em>666 — Your thoughts are out of balance right now, focused too much on the material world. This number sequence asks you to balance your thoughts between Heaven and Earth. Like the famous, “Sermon on the Mount” the angels ask you to focus on spirit and service, and know your material and emotional needs will be met as a result.</em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 90px;"><em>777 — The angels applaud you… “congratulations, you’re on a roll! Keep up the good work and know your wish is coming true.” This is an extremely positive sign and you should also expect more miracles to occur.</em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 90px;"><em>888 — A phase of your life is about to end, and this is a sign to give you forewarning to prepare. This number sequence may mean you are winding up an emotional career or relationship phase. It also means there is light at the end of the tunnel. In addition it means, The crops are ripe. Don’t wait to pick and enjoy them. In other words, don’t procrastinate in making your move or enjoying the fruits of your labor.</em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 90px;"><em>875 — The changes you’re making have put you on the right path for manifesting abundance in all ways.</em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 90px;"><em>999 — Get to work, Lightworker! The world needs your Divine life purpose right now. Fully embark upon your sacred mission without delay or hesitation.</em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 90px;"><em>000 — A reminder you are one with God, and to feel the presence of your Creator’s love within you. Also it is a sign that a situation has gone full circle. </em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 90px;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><em>Four-digit Numbers</em></strong></span><br />
<em> To interpret the meaning of four-digit numbers, break the number sequence into three digits and read that interpretation. Then, add the last digit’s interpretation to know the meaning of the entire sequence. For instance, to interpret 2048, begin with the first three digits: 204, and read its interpretation: </em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 90px;"><em>204 — God and the angels ask for your patience. Stay filled with faith that your prayers have been heard and are answered. </em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 90px;"><em>Then, read interpretation of the last of the four digits in 2048, which is 8:</em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 90px;"><em>8 — Know that financial abundance is coming to you now.</em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 90px;"><em>Put these two interpretations together and you have the meaning of 2048: God and the angels ask for your patience. Stay filled with faith that your prayers have been heard and are answered. Financial abundance is coming to you now.</em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 90px;"><em>Summarizing these combined interpretations, then, 2048 means: “Heaven assures you that your money needs will be supplied. Have patience.”</em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 90px;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><em>Five-digit Numbers</em></strong></span><br />
<em> You can interpret five-digit numbers in a similar fashion. Just take the first three digits and read its meaning, then read the interpretation of the last two digits in the number sequence. Combine these meanings and then summarize them. </em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 90px;"><em>Here’s an example using the five-digit number sequence, 99900:</em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 90px;"><em>999 — Get to work, Lightworker! The world needs your Divine life purpose right now. Fully embark upon your sacred mission without delay or hesitation.</em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 90px;"><em>And here is the meaning of the last two numbers:</em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 90px;"><em>00 — This means that the Creator is emphasizing a message to you and asks that you pay attention and follow the guidance without delay. </em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 90px;"><em>Next, add the meanings of the two together to find that 99900 means: </em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 90px;"><em>Get to work, Lightworker! The world needs your Divine life purpose right now. Fully embark upon your sacred mission without delay or hesitation. The Creator is emphasizing this message to you and asks that you pay attention and follow the guidance without delay. </em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 90px;"><em>In other words, God wants you to fully commit yourself to your life’s purpose…now!</em><br />
<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><em> </em></strong></span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 90px;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><em>Six-digit Numbers</em></strong></span><br />
<em> To interpret the meaning of a six-digit number such as 225496, you’d break it into two or three-digit components. In this case, we’ll break it into 225 and 496. Then, read the interpretation for the first section, which is:</em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 90px;"><em>225 — Trust that this change is for the best. You are in a period of transition—letting go of the past and that which is no longer working. Let go and move forward with confidence and faith. </em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 90px;"><em>Then, you’d look up the meaning of the second three-digit segment:</em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 90px;"><em>496 — The angels ask you to make your Divine life mission your top priority right now. Don’t worry about how it will come about, or any other material aspect concerning your purpose. The angels help with everything.</em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 90px;"><em>Next, compile the meanings of each segment so that 225496 means:</em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 90px;"><em>Trust that this change is for the best. You’re in a period of transition—letting go of the past and that which is no longer working. Let go and move forward with confidence and faith. The angels ask you to make your Divine life mission your top priority right now. Don’t worry about how it will come about, or any other material aspect concerning your purpose. The angels help with everything.</em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 90px;"><em>This is a message, in summary, that says, “Have faith in the changes you’re experiencing. The angels ask you to focus on your Divine life mission, and they’ll supply all your material needs.”</em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 90px;"><em>You’ll love the continual conversations you’ll engage in with Spirit, with the help of the interpretations you’ll find in this article. Once you begin interpreting the number sequences, you’ll discover spiritual signs and messages everywhere you go. The more you learn about and notice number sequences, the more you’ll realize that Heaven is always with you—speaking with you, guiding you, and loving you. Have fun! &#8220;</em></p>
<p>A special thanks to Doreen, she has been a huge influence on me as she has inspired me in so many ways. She is a lightworker and she is a wonderful teacher, she is just an overall wonderful person who isn&#8217;t afraid to share the information she receives, she is also an amazing healer who helps all of us, teaching us how to not only communicate with our angels, but how to heal ourselves and others with their help. Thanks Again!</p>

<div id="attachment_157" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 289px"><a rel="attachment wp-att-157" href="http://healingintuitivegarden.com/blog/2011/06/02/contacting-your-spirit-support-staff-aka-spirit-guides-and-angels/angelsfineartcover2004-copy/"><img class="size-medium wp-image-157" title="Angel with Baby" src="http://healingintuitivegarden.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/AngelsFineArtCover2004-Copy-279x350.jpg" alt="Angel with Baby" width="279" height="350" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Angel with Baby</p></div>
<p></strong></p>
<div><strong><span style="color: #888888; text-decoration: underline;">Your Spirit Guides and Guardian Angels are Always There For You, and They Are Truly Only a Whisper Away!</span></strong></div>
<div>They are full of insights and wisdom and they want to help us, support us, love us, laugh with us, assist us in anything we want them too. . . But they can not intervene or change anything in our lives unless we ask them to. It&#8217;s so simple, it&#8217;s as easy as asking &#8220;I would love some help from &#8230; To assist me with &#8230;&#8221;  It doesn&#8217;t hurt, in fact, it helps to c</div>
<div>Whether or not you are aware of it, and there are so many who aren&#8217;t aware, Everyone is a channel for spirit guidance. Within each of us is the ability and the capacity to connect with the spiritual energies that surround us all the time.</div>
<div>Its so amazing! Not only is this apparent in our everyday lives, in nature, and even within the animal world, such as our pets, birds and butterflies that surround us  as well as part of our own intuitive faculties.  This is a power, if you will, that connects us all.  When my children were small I used to say to them that they had &#8220;Superhero Powers&#8221;, but those powers could only grow and be stronger if they believed and took care of them.</div>
<div>The sad fact is many people assume that working or communicating with their spirit guides and angels requires them to have a &#8220;special gift or talent&#8221;, so they don&#8217;t even attempt to utilize these wonderful &#8220;gifts&#8221;.  In a way it does require each person to have a &#8220;gift or talent&#8221;, the good news is we all have this &#8220;special gift and talent&#8221;.  I actually feel uncomfortable at times calling it a &#8220;gift or talent&#8221; because it is an ability that is instantly ours from before we are even born.  WE ARE ALL BORN INTUITIVE!</div>
<div>It simply is a matter of being open to receiving the guidance that is always available to us. If you are a parent then you may have all ready experienced the fact that our children are little &#8220;psychic&#8221; beings who seem to be able to commune with imaginary friends from &#8220;the heavenly realm&#8221;.  Many folks assume that spirit and the angelic realm is far away and therefore, difficult to reach. It&#8217;s not off in some magical place, it is magical but it is truly as close as a whisper away.  Children can &#8220;predict&#8221; events and they all have a gentle &#8220;knowing&#8221; of &#8220;events&#8221;, people, and places that we as adults have managed to stifle a long time ago, probably as very young children because our parents and teachers told us &#8220;it&#8217;s just your imagination&#8221; or &#8220;stop fibbing&#8221;. We just assumed that because they were our parents or guardians that they knew what was best for us and if they said we were imagining things, if we were relatively good children, we listened to our parents and we would turn off that wonderul creative part of us.</div>
<div>Creativity is one of the main ways spirit can and does communicate with us and through us.</div>
<div id="attachment_323" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 85px"><a rel="attachment wp-att-323" href="http://healingintuitivegarden.com/blog/2011/06/02/contacting-your-spirit-support-staff-aka-spirit-guides-and-angels/archangel-raphael/"><img class="size-full wp-image-323" title="archangel raphael" src="http://healingintuitivegarden.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/archangel-raphael.jpg" alt="ArchAngel Raphael, call upon this angel for healing and guidance on health" width="75" height="70" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">ArchAngel Raphael, call upon this angel for healing and guidance on health</p></div>
<div>TIPS TO HELP YOU COMMUNICATE WITH YOUR SPIRIT TEAM ~</div>
<ol>
<li>If I could ask parents today to do one thing it would be to encourage their children, nurture them with love, impress positive energy on them, and teach their children that they are normal, better than normal, and when they tell you &#8220;Uncle Bob&#8221; came to say hi, affirm their voice by nurturing that ability, ask them if &#8220;Uncle Bob&#8221; had any special message for you, ask &#8220;How is he doing?&#8221;  What a wonderful way to open up a line of communication with your children, and allowing them the opportunity to trust you at a very early age.</li>
<li>Caution: You want to be careful with the age level that your dealing with, particularly when discussing death. You may not want to say to your child &#8220;Uncle Bob is dead&#8221; because at really young ages, usually from birth to age five to seven, many children don&#8217;t understand the meaning of death and have difficulty understanding that there are other dimensions.</li>
<li>Choose words carefully when trying to explain death to a young child.  Words like &#8220;Going to Heaven&#8221;, &#8220;Crossing over to Summerland&#8221;, &#8220;In the Sky, looking down watching over us&#8221; are examples of ways to explain death to a little one when it happens to someone or something (a pet for intance) close to us in our lives.</li>
<li>When communicating with your own guides (spirit, angelic, or elemental) you also want to assure that the level of information received is accurate, but also of the highest quality and for the highest good.  This means that we want to attract only the most reliable and enlightened guides or spirits. To be sure that your &#8220;Team&#8221; is of the highest good, set your intention that these are the only guides you will speak or commune with.</li>
<li>Another important factor is to be receptive to the guidance. BE OPEN, BE AN OPEN RECEIVER.  This openness is what allows you to feel the love and support your guides have to offer. A common mistake that we make in attempting to commune with our guides is to strain to communicate with them. The more you try to be forceful in your requests the more you are putting up a shield, its more about vibrations, a sharing of energies, and when we are in contact with our guides its because we have been able to gently adjust our vibration to match their vibration, making it easy to &#8220;hear&#8221;, &#8220;see&#8221; or &#8220;feel&#8221; those messages.</li>
<li>One of the most important things you can do to be a clear channel is to RELAX and TRUST. Never try to force channelling; this is just trying to hard, again changing your vibration making it denser and harder to penetrate.  Allowing the energy to flow through you requires a relaxed and receptive state of being.</li>
<li>Do not rush the process.  Take your time and go slowly; do not rush the process. Pause between each step, taking as much time as you need. It is important not to have expectations, or to overreach. You want to be open, and relaxed.</li>
<li>Make the environment your in feel comfortable, open and inviting to them, your spirit guides and angels.</li>
<li>When setting up your environment, have a comfortable place to sit or a bed if you would rather lie down.</li>
<li> Drink lots of water before, during and after. Not only have I personally experienced this but have been told by many spiritual teachers as well as my own guides, its so important to be and stay hydrated. For some reason when your open to energy change it can dehydrate you, similar to a cleansing. Its a good idea to have a glass of water near by.</li>
<li>Set the mood. Everyone is different, some people love a sunny room, maybe preferring the morning sunlight, so open up those curtains and blinds and be thankful for the sun warming your skin on this particular day. Some may prefer a dim lit room, lower window blinds and/or close curtains, light a candle.</li>
<li>Lighting a candle with the intent to communicate.  This is a wonderful way to send out the vibration that you want to communicate.  Candles have always been a way to comfort and set intentions.  Candles have a place in history, dating way back to biblical times. Candles have been lit in ritual ceremonies to call in angels and dieties during weddings, funerals and other important ceremonies and celebrations.  You may also choose to light incense and/or candles.</li>
<li> Include in your space any crystals, sacred objects, or pictures that are meaningful to you.</li>
<li>Create an alter. Find a place in your home, in your kitchen, bedroom, near the fireplace, wherever you feel most comfortable. Decorate your alter with things you love, placing objects that you would &#8220;designate&#8221; or &#8220;gift&#8221; to the angel or spirit guide you are trying to call upon.  Light a candle, choosing different colors to represent different angels works well.</li>
<li>Find a time and place when and where you won&#8217;t be interrupted.  Turn off the phone or ringer on your telephone and make sure that you will not be disturbed for the length of time you plan to practice.</li>
<li>Wear comfortable clothes and remove your shoes.  It is common during blessings and certain spiritual rituals to be barefoot during the time of your &#8220;blessing&#8221; or during meditation. The belief is that it allows for the prana or universal energies to flow through you and to prevent any energy from becoming blocked or stuck.</li>
<li>It helps to be specific about what type of Spiritguides or Angels you are invoking. Its like going to a dentist to fix your teeth and goind to a general practitioner when you have a cold, and going to a specialist when you have a more specific health issue.  Its the same when calling upon one of your Spirit Team members!</li>
<li>Hold the intention and desire to attract in only those spirit beings that provide guidance, love, and higher teachings. You can say, “I now invite in all of my loving and wise, spirit guides and angels to be with me now.”</li>
<li>Do this the same time everyday.  Similar to setting an appointment and showing up, if you show up so will they!</li>
<li> If you begin communicating with any energy that feels negative, that gives you unreliable advice or information that is ego based or just doesnt feel go or sound &#8220;right&#8221; ~ you want to be very clear and state your intentions by saying, &#8220;If there are any energies that are negative or of a low energy you are not welcome and not allowed to communicate or share any of your energy.  Go back to where you came from or go to the Divines Loving White Light!  I state once again that the only energies, spirits and angelic beings welcome to communicate and to give me messages and guidance now are those of the highest power and highest good! And so it is!&#8221;</li>
<li>If there is something specific that you need assistance, guidance or healing with ~ Be clear in your intention.<br />
The more specific you are when asking for guidance in a particular area of your life, the more that your guides and angels can assist you. Your intention will set the tone for this relationship. When your purpose is clear that you want to communicate, spirit will automatically be aware of this, and it will enable them to connect with you more effectively. Your mind-set creates an opening for them to reach you.</li>
<li>Breathing &#8211; One of the most important steps! When you&#8217;re ready, take a deep breath in, breath in through your nose, as you are breathing in fill your lungs, your diaphram, and your belly, do this to the count of four (4), hold your breath for the count of two (2), then breathe out through the mouth (making an audible sighing sound of &#8220;Aaaahhhhh&#8221;  on the out breath), relax when you release your breath slowly.</li>
<li><a rel="attachment wp-att-324" href="http://healingintuitivegarden.com/blog/2011/06/02/contacting-your-spirit-support-staff-aka-spirit-guides-and-angels/chakras/"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-324" title="chakras" src="http://healingintuitivegarden.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/chakras-150x160.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="160" /></a>Do this about three or four times, by the third or fourth breath imagine a white bright light forming into a ball in your solar plexus chakra, the energy center that is above your belly button and about two inches below your sternum.   Most contact happens from the solar plexus or heart chakra, either one is fine. It is up to you and which one feels the most comfortable to you at that time.</li>
</ol>
<div>Enjoy! You may want to take notes when you have finished so you won&#8217;t forget any important messages that you were given by spirit and your angels!</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_291" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 123px"><a rel="attachment wp-att-291" href="http://healingintuitivegarden.com/blog/2011/05/09/mothers-day-a-visit-from-spirit/dove-pink-bkgrnd/"><img class="size-full wp-image-291" title="The White Dove" src="http://healingintuitivegarden.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/dove-pink-bkgrnd.jpg" alt="White dove, symbol for love and peace" width="113" height="170" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">the white dove is a common symbol for peace or love</p></div>
<p>This morning, as I sat on my front porch trying to wake up from a rough nite of restless sleep, I began to think about the day. Today is Mother&#8217;s Day. I began to remember moments past, moments shared with those that have past.</p>
<p>I have lost quite a few people in my life, especially in the past few years.  But today was a day that brought memories of my godmother, Carolyn.  She was also my aunt, and also a mother figure to me in my life.  She filled the empty space that I had growing up, particularly in my teen years.  My own mother had remarried and didn&#8217;t spend much time with me.  I should explain a bit.  When I was younger, about 3, my parents divorced. My mother dated and actually did have a long relationship with a gentleman that lasted for about seven years.  But by the time I was eleven, she was single and met my stepfather.  Before she met him, we, my mother, my aunt and myself lived together.  My dad, who lived in the city, an hour and half away, wasn&#8217;t around much - if at all.</p>
<p>When my mother began dating my stepdad, she suddenly became scarce.  She spent most of her nights at his home and within a couple of years they married.  The sad thing was, when she married my stepdad, he had his own issues and demons. Drinking was one of them, he had an ex-wife who was literally &#8220;crazy&#8221;, not sure what her diagnosis was but I did know that she wasn&#8217;t a person who behaved or thought clearly. She didn&#8217;t allow him to see let alone visit his children, his daughter, who as she got older, became a manipulative person who only came around when she needed money or a place to stay, and even then only contacting him a few times. And then there was his son. Whom, because of direct physical abuse from the mother, was injured as a baby and remained mentally handicapped because of it.  To this day he is still in an adult facility for those who are unable to function in our everyday society.</p>
<p>Needless to say he was bitter, and the last thing he wanted was a child running around his home reminded him of what he could have had.  So my aunt, (my godmother), cared for me most of the time.  Occasionally, my mother would visit. She would come down from the town she lived in, about 40 minutes away, to our town for the night.  She did this for a couple years, and she did it about once a week, twice a week if I was lucky. She would come around dinner, watch a few tv shows, spend the night and was gone by the following morning.</p>
<p>By the time I was thirteen I was pretty self sufficient. I learned to take care of myself, but I always knew that my aunt, who was never asked to take care of me, did her best to be there for me when I needed an adult to help me understand the great big world.  As I got older, she still remained my surrogate mother.  Even when my mother was around, my aunt was never far behind.</p>
<p>Sadly, my aunt passed away a couple of years ago, she felt ill one day, spent three months in the hospital, fell into a coma and passed away peacefully soon after.  Even though my mother has grown closer to me in my life, especially once I had children, when my aunt passed away, I felt a huge loss.  I have to admit that it felt as though I had lost my mother.  The past couple of years has been tough, missing her terribly and not really being able to share that with too many people, mostly for fear of offending my own mother who now has her own &#8220;version&#8221; of how she cared for me all those years. It is amazing how it differs from my own memories.</p>
<p>So, this morning, as I sat on my porch, I felt sadness, I felt loss, I felt a knot in the pit of my stomach. A lump in my throat. Wishing that she was still alive so that I could wish her a Happy Mother&#8217;s Day once more.  Suddenly, I was startled by the fluttering, flapping wings, gently whisping past me. The most beautiful dove landed on the step right next to my feet. I was in awe. I actually said hello to this amazing little being as I began to appreciate the light shimmering grey that glistened a pearly white in its reflection from the sun at my feet, this white dove brought to me the most loving wish of love and happiness that I know was orchestrated by my loving sweet aunt, who actually is <em>still </em>very much present in my life.</p>
<p>I realized in that moment, that what I tell my friends and clients, that when someone we love passes, they really aren&#8217;t gone. And that if we pay attention to the NOW, to the messages that they send to us all the time, that if we just open our eyes and ears long enough to the loving messages that they are constantly giving to us we will see them, and we will hear and feel their presence and their love.</p>
<p>I would like to take this moment to wish all of those wonderful loving mother&#8217;s, including those that don&#8217;t have children but share their loving mothering essence to those around them that need that mother&#8217;s touch, I wish you the most wonderful and joyful Happy Mother&#8217;s Day, may you be surrounded in love and joy, and may those around you make you feel as special as you truly are!</p>

<div id="attachment_161" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 293px"><a rel="attachment wp-att-161" href="http://healingintuitivegarden.com/blog/2011/03/16/fear-is-inverted-faith/garden-copy/"><img class="size-full wp-image-161" title="The Intuitive Garden" src="http://healingintuitivegarden.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Garden-Copy.jpg" alt="Choose Joy" width="283" height="254" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">When your heart is feeling low, grab a flower and appreciate it, examine it, enjoy its beauty and allow it to lift your spirit.</p></div>
</div>
<div class="mceTemp">There has been so much going on in this world, good things and bad.  Many things that cause us to feel fearful and unsure of lives.  The news of Japan and the nuclear plants, contamination scares.  When I meditated this morning, I found it difficult to quiet my mind, I kept hearing this soft word, &#8220;Joy&#8221;.  At first I thought I was hearing the word &#8220;job&#8221;, then I thought I heard the word &#8220;toy&#8221;, and even &#8220;boy&#8221;.  Finally I asked Spirit to speak up and be clear and sure enough as day I heard &#8220;JOY&#8221;.  I wanted to share that because before I meditated this morning I was feeling a bit in a funk.  Not sure what to do with all of the information that has been swirling in my head since the earthquake and tsunami in Japan. The worst is this reactor meltdown thing, its not just a scare it is real. I almost feel guilty for feeling scared when so many people were lost, so many have still not been found, so many injured, and today all of this new bombarding the news, TV and radio. You can&#8217;t seem to get away from it, every other email is asking for help.  So what do you do with that, who do you help?  Start with yourself first, then ask spirit for guidance. I promise you that you will be guided to do what is best for you and those you love.  I fight with this too, but its so important to not only have a healthy body, but it’s a must to have a healthy mind and soul too. </div>
<div class="mceTemp">
<p>For those who feel they need to contribute but just don&#8217;t have it in their wallet&#8230;If you can only give a dollar, you still are giving. If you can give $100, that so awesome, but better yet give of your heart and simply send love and healing thoughts to those who are hurting.  Praying and holding others in a place of love and joy is probably one of the most powerful things you can give to anyone including yourself!</p>
<p> When I heard the word &#8220;joy&#8221; I realized how important it is to find a piece of joy in each day.  If you can&#8217;t find it right now ~ today ~ Look Harder! </p>
<p>For those of you who meditate, or those who pray try meditating or praying on the power plants that are in melt down.  First imagine yourself and then imagine your family and friends surrounded by the Divines Healing White Light, then transcend that light to cover the reactors, imagine that the light in not only healing but that it is cooling.  Imagine the air that is contaminated to be disbursed by God or the Divine&#8217;s love and healing energy.</p>
<p>For now remember to breath, do not let fear take over your mind.  Fear is inverted Faith.  If you can stop yourself when you start to feel fear and deliberately take that fear and imagine in flipping into a state of peace, quiet, love and faith. Faith that we can get through this, Faith that we will all be safe and protected under the Divine&#8217;s loving wings.</p>
<p>Namaste, wishing you all love, light and healing.  Maybe a little laughter too&#8230;</p>
<p>Micha&#8217;ele</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Can you feel the veil thinning? Is it possible that because of the current tragedy in Japan and the prayers and love being sent across and all over the world that it also causes the veil to lift slightly making out messages come through stronger and more clear. I believe it is true.  ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><div id="attachment_185" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 181px"><a href="http://healingintuitivegarden.com/blog/2011/03/13/the-veil-seems-a-bit-thin-today/gekregenvanfairywoman-copy/" rel="attachment wp-att-185"><img src="http://healingintuitivegarden.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/gekregenvanfairywoman-Copy.gif" alt="Fairywoman" title="Fairywoman  " width="171" height="171" class="size-full wp-image-185" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Fairywoman  </p></div><br />
I have really been getting quite a few hits the past couple of days. Intuitive hits that is. I have been paying attention to when there is some type of tragedy, usually on an almost global level and around the time that many lightworkers and just family and friends of the victims, example the earthquake and tsunami in Japan, because of the magnitude of so many of us on earth sending our thoughts, prayers of healing and love, some lightworkers (myself included) sending reiki or some type of healing energy to those affected by the catastrophy, my ability to be open and to receive communication is amplified and increased. The messages I have been getting in the last twenty-four hours has been not only spot on but incredibly detailed. I had a couple hits regarding a friend of mine that has been having a relationship situation that was much to my surprise very specific and within an hour or two the situation I explained to him transpired almost word for word much to his delight. Also, I had a specific hit come through for one of my children. It too happened within a few hours. The difference between the information I normally get and the information that I&#8217;ve been getting in the past forty-eight hours seems more intense and is coming through a bit louder. I&#8217;m not having to feel it out, ask questions to expand on the answer.  It&#8217;s just &#8220;!Hey! Here is this information about so and so and you need to let them know and here is the rest of what you need to share with them.  I&#8217;m being given the info without asking which I feel is really off the normal path of me generally asking or putting a question out into the universe.  So I think it&#8217;s safe to assume that all of the sending of love and prayers to our Creator and angels has definitely given rise to the thinning of the veil. If it&#8217;s because of something else that I am not aware of such as the planets or stars please do not hesitate to contact me and give me a heads up!</p>
<p>What I do want to share with everyone today is about manifesting. Just the word itself &#8220;manifesting&#8221; came through so strongly that I feel if I don&#8217;t share it with all of you it would bug me until I do! So hang tight and I will be posting another blog in about twenty minutes.  Love you all!  Light and love, Micha&#8217;ele</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello Everyone,</p>
<p>What&#8217;s bloomin?  So much has been bloomin!  So much has happened to our earth and everyone on it  in the past 24 hours.   I  want to apologize if I offended anyone with yesterdays blog.  I know that I acknowledged Japan and sent them well wishes, but I continued to write and post what information I had received from Spirit earlier that day for my blog which at the time was coming up with energies that surrounded &#8220;relationships&#8221;.  But after being up all night watching the tragedy unfold if feel like I need to say that I just want you all to know that at the time that I wrote the blog, the earthquake had just happened and I hadn&#8217;t yet heard about the details.  So my apologies if my blog sounded superficial or insensitive in any way.  I was just in shock and awe as I watched the news unfold, talking about the aftershocks of 5.0 and higher that shook continuously, as if they hadn&#8217;t been through enough. 
<dl id="attachment_249" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 305px;">
<dt class="wp-caption-dt"><a rel="attachment wp-att-249" href="http://healingintuitivegarden.com/blog/2011/03/12/prayers-for-japan/tsunamiinjapan295-2/"><img class="size-full wp-image-249" title="Tsunami in Japan" src="http://healingintuitivegarden.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/TsunamiinJapan2951.jpg" alt="Tsunami in Japan" width="295" height="200" /></a></dt>
<dd class="wp-caption-dd">Tsunami in Japan</dd>
</dl>
<p>The Tsunami that forged itself by forcing water and pieces of buildings, cars, large pieces of concrete through the cities and neighborhoods&#8230;all floating past those residents recording the scene as it happened.  You could see some of the tsunami rushing through parking lots, taking out everything in its path as it went passed the parking lots taking out poles, beams, trees and carrying buses and boxcars from trains on its wakes, literally anything that appeared to be in front of it became part of it.  I couldn&#8217;t help but wonder if there were people trapped in those automobiles and buses.  I think its safe to say that many of us cried with them and for them as we watched this story unfold on our televisions.  I had a difficult time holding back the tears when I read that over a thousand people have died, and more are missing. </p>
<p>The news coverage showed videos that people had taken with their cell phones, watching these folks in terror while their homes, their offices and those around them shook and fell, things crashing and the noises roaring in the background.</p>
<p>Its time to give, I have all ready donated funds to help, because the chances of giving anything viable, material such as clothing or shoes or jackets would be more of a hassle to have sent and more expensive to send if not impossible, it&#8217;s better to donate money to a legitimate site that handles donations for just these emergencies. </p>
<p>I wanted to show some photos that I had of Japan and its peaceful flower gardens, in more peaceful times. </p>

<p> </p>
<p>It&#8217;s important that I say this at this time, if you are going to donate, which I hope you do, please make sure that the organization you will be giving your money too is a legitimate foundation or organization. Be careful of those asking for your money, unfortunately there are people out there that do not hesitate to kick a man when he&#8217;s down and to take advantage of someone with a kind heart, its just what some people do.  </p>
<p>One fabulous organization that is incredible comes to mind &#8211; it is the American Red Cross, the work that they do is amazing.  But I want to put this thought out there to everyone, you do not have donate money to just one site, there are different organizations that do different things, each having different &#8220;responsibilities&#8221; if you will, in these situations.  If you can only afford ten dollars send five to the American Red Cross  where the money is used for items that are needed right now and on an as needed basis.  Then send the other five dollars to another wonderful group, Global Giving, or another organization that you know is helping out in the Japan relief efforts. I can tell you this without a doubt &#8212; That need is right now! Then there are other types of organizations that assist with rebuilding, helping with the costs of materials and labor to help rebuild those homes and businesses that were taken down by this menacing earthquake that lasted longer than 3 minutes and the hundred plus aftershocks that followed!   It is going to take these people time and many many resources for the next couple years to get back to where they were yesterday morning.  So keep the thought in your heart that you can donate now, and you donate again, even if its only a couple of dollars, in a few months from now.</p>
<p>What really shakes me to the core (Not a pun), is the fact that these people woke up yesterday morning, just as they do every other morning and were just going about their day.  In a matter of 3+ minutes their lives have changed, have been lost, have been wounded, have been taken from them in a moment.  I cant help but be reminded of the disaster in Haiti.  They are still struggling, trying to get their lives back and its been over a year since the earthquake struck their country.</p>
<p>Imagine this, envision your worst fear, now imagine it in your mind for three minutes straight.  This is what they went through times ten thousand!  And they cannot open their eyes and have it all disappear, they can&#8217;t wish it away.  Right now there basic wish is to probably have clean drinking water or a safe place to lay their heads at night, a clean place to sit or even a place to go to the bathroom.  Privacy is no longer an issue. It must be terrifying to have gone through something like that only to be reminded of it and to live in fear with every aftershock earthquake that happens, eighty (80+) of which happened within the first 18 hours of the initial shake. </p>
<p>The Tsunami was so fierce that it actually managed to touch us on this side of the earth.  The waters here on the west coast of the US were given a push, and I will not forget the image I now have engraved in my memory from watching the boats capsize in the marina, the harbor in Santa Cruz and to watch a few boats become un-tethered and then float without a captain or person to steer it. The shock and awe I felt as I watched them crash into other boats, you could see it happen and I must say it was a very strange feeling to know that it was going to damage whatever it was about to smash into and there wasn&#8217;t a damn thing anyone could do about it.  Bizarre!  The sadness and awe continued through the day. Watching surfers surf the four to six foot waves, against warnings and closures of beaches.  Later, we learned that a man near the coast, trying to take photographs, was swept into the ocean.  There still hasn&#8217;t been news as to whether or not he has been found.</p>
<p>I would like to take this opportunity to ask everyone to call upon their angelic helpers,  their guardian angels and Spirit Guides and ask for healing assistance for the people of Japan, for the healing of the wounded, to help those in fear, to bring speedy healing and recovery to all that have suffered from this horrible tragic event. We ask our Creator to bring peace and healing as well to those in need, to help those persons that have been affected, to help aide in the recovery for those emotionally wounded not just physically wounded,  and for all of their families and friends that are worrying and are in search of those missing at this time. May God, our Creator help those that have been taken from us find their way safely and lovingly to the light and to help those who have lost or will lose someone close to them. may we also ask that the beautiful animals of our world who are also affected be cared for as well.  May we all pray and send loving thoughts and healing energy to our earth at this time, to those that are connected or are somehow touched by this experience.</p>
<p>As hard as it is to believe, it is moments like these that somehow manage to bring us closer, to make us aware of our abilities to help others, and give us all a chance to open up our hearts to others.</p>
<p>Please check out the websites that I have included below to help you with finding a place to donate to, and to also find information regarding those individuals who may try to exploit others at this time.</p>
<p>Wishing all of you love, light and healing.  May God wrap you in his loving arms and keep you safe.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Receiving validation from spirit, our loved one's on the other side is as easy as just asking.  Then be open to the experience and look for them, they are there.  Don't be afraid to ask for specifics like a coin, a heart, a bird, whatever.  I like to choose something that connects me to that person, for instance when my best friend passed, our "thing" was photography, especially of flowers, birds and butterflies.  It's amazing that when I asked for validation that she was with me, within 24 hours I must have received about a dozen items that all had photos of butterflies on them.  And the butterfly in each picture looked almost exactly the same!  Very cool!]]></description>

<p><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino; color: #800000; font-size: x-small;"><em>Butterflies, birds, dragonflies and other little creatures are one of the ways spirit finds to validate there presence.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino; color: #800000; font-size: x-small;"><em>Have you ever had an experience where a butterfly landed on you, flew near you and just floated in front of you for a minute or two? Chances are spirit has managed to bring them to you and is keeping them and guiding them to be near you. </em></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino; color: #800000; font-size: x-small;"><em>So the next time you walk out of your home to your car, and suddenly a giant monarch flies past you and around your head, say &#8220;Hello Aunt Maxine&#8221; and thank her for visiting. And if &#8216;Aunt Maxine&#8217; was known for her ability to comfort you, or was your favorite aunt who had the ability to warm your heart when you were having a bad day, you may want to take a look at what is happening with you at the time, maybe &#8216;Aunt Maxine&#8217; is trying to tell you something.</em></span></p>

<p><em><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino; color: #000080;"> </span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino; color: #000080;">I just want say something about &#8216;Spirit Validation&#8217;.  That is that &#8216;validation&#8217; can come in many ways.  Not only can spirit guide birds, animals, insects, etc., to hover only inches from your nose, but they can also show themselves in other ways such as orbs, lights, sparkles (twinkling little lights), shadows that you may see from the corner of your eye.  Spirit can leave signs of their presence as well.  My Papa is known for leaving signs of hearts everywhere when he is around, and coins.  Not just any coins but coins that are old or different.</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino; color: #000080;">There was a spell of time that I remember, it was approximately two years after he passed, I was going through a difficult time and I had asked for a sign from him. I needed to know at that time that he was around me, I missed him terribly and asked him to please show me he was with me. I asked him to leave a sign, coins I suggested, but not any coins, I want coins that no one else would or could &#8220;use&#8221;.  This was a tall order, and in a way, I guess I was setting up my expectations to back fire so that I could pout in the corner and say that &#8220;I had no one&#8221;, yes, I was feeling sorry for myself! </span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino; color: #000080;">No more than an hour later I was at work, as I walked to the back of my shop I felt something stick to the bottom of my shoe. &#8220;Damn it&#8221; I grunted.  I thought for sure that someone&#8217;s child had been in the shop terrorizing it, but thought quickly in my head that I couldn&#8217;t remember a child having been in my shop for over a week now. Don&#8217;t get me wrong I love children, I have three of my own, but I had what was considered an &#8220;Upscale Salon &amp; Spa&#8221; and it seemed that children, once they had entered my shop could not resist the pretty sand in the vases and around the candles, the decorative rocks I had sitting so perfectly placed in the bowl on the table in the center of the waiting room ~ it was a playground for them just waiting to be destroyed! </span></em></p>
<div><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino; color: #000080;"><em>I lifted my right foot, bending it at the knee, I began to lose my balance, gently rendering my &#8220;booty&#8221; on the floor just in time for a few of my clients to come walking through the door to see me sitting there like a child having a tantrum.  I began to laugh remembering how my Papa had such a wonderful sense of humor and it was he who had taught me about self acceptance, laughing at yourself before someone else does, a true lesson in humility.  I pulled the round silver colored plastic thing off of the bottom of my shoe, and as I looked at it I could feel a tear swell in the corner of my right eye. My throat began to swell, the lump, I wondered, was it protruding from my throat, it felt like it was. It hurt to swallow.  The small piece of silver colored plastic was a coin, a pretend money coin, with</em><em><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Barbie&#8217;s silhouette, her hair in a high ponytail in the back of her head, and on the other side a heart.   Not only did he give me the validation I had asked for but he topped it off with a heart, his &#8220;signature&#8221; validation symbol.  Thanks Papa!</span></span></em></span></div>

<p>I&#8217;m an Intuitive and an Empath.  Let me start off by saying that being a mother of three children I can relate to many different circumstances of feeling like someone has hit you upside the head with a &#8220;Negative&#8221; baseball bat.  Based on all of my education and experiences I learned straightaway how important it is to protect yourself from negative energies or entities particularly those given to us from friends or family.  And let me state that almost all of these so called gifts can come through as an intuitive hit or empathically making you feel like the negativity you suddenly seem to be carrying in your gut is your responsibility to work through.  So before you banish the dark clouds of energy, particularly if you feel that it is something that you have gained from a close friend or relative you may want to take a second or two to take a peak into this energy.   And here is why&#8230;</p>
<p> </p>
<p>As a mother we are given special intuitive gifts, (also known as Mother&#8217;s Instinct), and some of those mothers maybe even be lucky enough to be the recipient of the gift known as Empathy.  What is intuition?  Intuition is the ability to feel, to know, two see and/or  to hear information from a source that some people may call spirit, higher-self, the creator or the &#8220;Gut&#8221;.  What is &#8220;Empathy&#8221;, &#8220;Empath&#8221; or &#8220;Empathic&#8221;?  Well it&#8217;s basically the ability to feel what somebody else is feeling , whether it be emotionally and physically and mentally or even spiritually.  We are given these abilities so that we mothers may tune into our children to get a sense of what is going on with them on a deeper level, when they are babies this intuition helps us to know whether our babies are hungry, tired or not feeling well, and as they get older this intuition alerts us when something is wrong with them physically or emotionally, or other.  We should feel blessed for this ability, even if it does make us crazy at times.  And if you&#8217;re a mom who can do both these things I think You should pat yourself on the back for being a mom that is able to relate to her children on such a deep level! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>When dealing with outside energies (Those energies that do not belong to you) and your abilities, before you dismiss them be sure that the information you are receiving (Even though you don&#8217;t like it) isn&#8217;t possibly information that you are being given to guide them, give them advice, or even stop them from doing something they shouldn&#8217;t or keeping them from a problem before They get into too deep of trouble.  To sum it up ~ To help your child from doing some thing stupid that may cause them or someone else  feet deep sense of pain.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>How to protect yourself from negative energies or entities:  Start off Each morning with a quick prayer to Archangel Michael or whom ever you pray to or ask for help, to protect you from negative energies throughout your day.  And a quick prayer before you go to bed at night asking him to cut any cords that may have attached themselves to you during the day.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Wearing crystals such as Black Tourmaline, black obsidian, Amethyst, or Smokey quartz helps by naturally creating a vibrational change in your energy field by  which it  cleanses, purifies, and transforms dense energy into a lighter vibration. Use Black Tourmaline to help with electromagnetic smog (i.e. cell phones) and increase physical vitality. Black Tourmaline is a fantastic stone for grounding and protection, and aids in opening up the Root Chakra. Physically, Black Tourmaline is a purifying and detoxifying stone, helpful in cleansing the body. Smokey quartz is a great choice because it is self cleansing and absorbs negative energies while dispelling them, also know as self-preserving or self-cleansing so the only work with the crystal you have to do is to program it, which you should remember to do with all of your other crystals as well.  Programming the crystal infuses is it  with your intent (to heal, to purify, to be used only for positive intentions, etc. that you want to be applied to the crystal.  </p>
<p> </p>
<p>A tried and true remedy is too take a bath in sea salt or Epsom salt with a few drops and lavender to clean away any negative energies.  You can add different  types of oils to the water depending upon what it is you are trying to accomplish (ie. Calming, invigorating, peace, waxing, waning, sleep, increase energy, etc.)  This can be done daily as needed.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The last and best solution that I can recommend for helping with almost any situation is to change your breathing.  Begin a series of three or four  diaphragmatic breaths, with each breath as you inhale bring in the intention &#8221; healing, positive, love&#8221; and on the exhale, to the count of three, release the words &#8220;Negative Be-Gone!&#8221;  When you concentrate on breathing your mind, body or soul is unable to focus on anything else.  Try it and see for yourself!  A lot of people realize with this lesson that part of their problem all along has been that they have not been breathing properly hence creating a sensation of stress or an overall feeling of negativity throughout the body.  Controlling your breathing is another way of controlling your emotions.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If you need any further help with your situation feel free to e-mail me with your question at Michaele@healingintuitivegarden.com and I can send you an e-mail with information or  send you different links regarding information that will help for your particular issue, need or question.</p>
<p> Wishing you a day filled with light , love and laughter !</p>
<p>Namaste</p>

		<description><![CDATA[There seems to be quite a few of us that know we have "gifts', in fact we probably have known that we have had these gifts since we were little ones.   But because we either didn't have parents who were open to it, or we were just too afraid to talk about it, we took our experiences (seeing spirits, hearing spirits, having prophetic dreams, knowing things about family or friends that we had no way of knowing) and did our very best to forget them, hide them never to be seen or heard from again.  ]]></description>

<div id="attachment_91" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-91" title="Sunrise on the first Day of the New Year" src="http://healingintuitivegarden.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/IMG_2739-300x200.jpg" alt="The early bird catches the sunrise!" width="300" height="200" /><p class="wp-caption-text">The early bird catches the sunrise!</p></div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 11.4pt; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;">Based on all of the messages I&#8217;ve received since the New Year, I thought that I would write about something that seems to be on the minds of quite a few people.</p>
<p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 11.4pt; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 11.4pt; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Comic Sans MS&quot;; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><span style="font-size: small;">There seems to be quite a few of us that know we have &#8220;gifts&#8217;, in fact we probably have known that we have had these gifts since we were little ones.   But because we either didn&#8217;t have parents who were open to it, or we were just too afraid to talk about it, we took our experiences (seeing spirits, hearing spirits, having prophetic dreams, knowing things about family or friends that we had no way of knowing) and did our very best to forget them, hide them never to be seen or heard from again.  But luckily for many of us, our Creator doesn&#8217;t want that to be the case because the truth is we are all better people for having realized our gifts and used them to help ourselves and others.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 11.4pt; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Comic Sans MS&quot;; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><span style="font-size: small;">So what to do about the &#8220;fear&#8221;&#8230;. First I want to say that you are not alone in this feeling.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 11.4pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Comic Sans MS&quot;; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><span style="font-size: small;">There comes a point in our life’s, in our experience that we realize that our gifts are special and are no longer meant to be feared.  But with that there also comes confusion ~ where to start, who to talk to, what books to read, what modalities to consider, what gifts do we nurture vs. what gifts we shut out.  </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 11.4pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Comic Sans MS&quot;; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 11.4pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Comic Sans MS&quot;; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><span style="font-size: small;">Some people who have been blessed with gifts (such as clairvoyance, prophetic dreams, empathic ability, communication with spirit, etc.) are actually told early on or later in life what they are supposed to do with their gifts, or even what their path is and how they should go about following their &#8220;life&#8217;s journey&#8221; ~ They hear &#8220;a voice&#8221; telling them what to do, there is an unmistakable knowing.  But there are more of us then not that are supposed to find it out on our own, because that is part of our lesson, our journey.  </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 11.4pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Comic Sans MS&quot;; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 11.4pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Comic Sans MS&quot;; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><span style="font-size: small;">I can give you a &#8220;starting point&#8221;, as it has been given to me by spirit, but I can&#8217;t tell you exactly what you should do or what decision to make as that is up to you.  Most people have more than one “gift”, and I want to ask everyone, that if you know healing to be one of those gifts, that it should be one of the modalities that we should all consider adding to genre of modalities that we are capable of doing. Why? You ask, because what a wonderful place our earth will be if everyone who had some type of healing ability could nurture it and use it to help heal others and the world…well you get the picture, what a beautiful world this would be!  </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 11.4pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Comic Sans MS&quot;; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 11.4pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Comic Sans MS&quot;; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><span style="font-size: small;">OK ~ so let’s start ~ the beginning is always the best place to begin, it is incredibly helpful for you to write down a list of all the things, gifts, you have the ability to hold in your heart. So if healing is one of them start there – write it down. Can you speak to spirit? Can you see auras?  Next, what type of healing are you interested in? Do you feel a calling to any one thing in particular? Reiki Therapy, Light Energy Healing, Aura Reading, etc&#8230;.  what other types of modalities are you interested in? Mediumship, Psychic Healing, Intuitive Counseling? I hope I’m making sense here.  There is so much power in writing it down. Then when you are done making a list of those abilities, write down a list of what types of healing or modalities you may be interested in learning about.  There are over 1500 holistic modalities in the world, so I would write down maybe the top ten to twenty that you have interest in, and then start narrowing down that by what ignites your passion.  What is it that makes you feel warm and fuzzy?  Once you have the top 5 or 6 things, start looking into them, look for classes or books that interest you which can give you tips or information about where to start learning about that “gift”.  </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 11.4pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Comic Sans MS&quot;; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 11.4pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Comic Sans MS&quot;; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><span style="font-size: small;">I have to admit, when I realized that sharing my gifts and using them to help others besides just myself,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>was what made me feel “warm and fuzzy”, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I must have read over 50 books in two weeks.  That wasn&#8217;t my goal, I was just being &#8220;called&#8221; to read them. There was so much clarity in the information I was receiving. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I know that I was being guided, intuitively to read certain books and to watch certain videos, take certain classes, etc.  There are ways to do this so that you are not being charged an arm and a leg too; the best place to begin is the internet.  </span><a href="http://amazon.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;">Amazon.com</span></span></a><span style="font-size: small;"> is a great resource, I found hundreds of books that were used and were in great condition, some as low as $1.00.  If you have ITunes, they have some great podcasts that are free to download and fun to listen to.  Hay House Publishing, </span><a href="http://www.hayhouse.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;">www.hayhouse.com</span></span></a><span style="font-size: small;"> is probably the greatest resource for alternative therapies&#8230;.they have books, videos, on demand workshops, they are the best, but they charge for most of their materials.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Prices range from FREE to a couple hundred dollars, they have cruises and trips that focus on groups interested in similar subjects, with authors and speakers who are absolutely fantastic!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>There is also audible.com, this is a great place to go if you like listening to books while driving or cleaning house, they have a decent selection of audio books to listen to, but there are many books that will probably take years before they are out on audio.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 11.4pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Comic Sans MS&quot;; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 11.4pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Comic Sans MS&quot;; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><span style="font-size: small;">One of the common situations that people keep discussing with me also, is that they were in fear of their gifts and when they were little, they asked God to “take it all away”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Some of it is pretty scary when you’re a small child, and it doesn’t help when your parents tell you that it’s just your imagination.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>My advice ~ ask God, our Creator to help you learn how to &#8220;get back&#8221; your gifts and to help you desolve your fears around them.  </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 11.4pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Comic Sans MS&quot;; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 11.4pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Comic Sans MS&quot;; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><span style="font-size: small;">The place that I started was meditation, I feel it is the best place to begin. Meditation isn&#8217;t always about sitting in silence. It&#8217;s a place I use to communicate with spirit, my spirit guides, my angels and Creator. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 11.4pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Comic Sans MS&quot;; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 11.4pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Comic Sans MS&quot;; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><span style="font-size: small;">We have all been blessed with at least one spirit guide, some people have many.  Set your intention in meditation to meet your guides or your angels, talk with them, ask them to help guide you and what you should do, they will answer you! It takes commitment and you have to show up! You have to trust and listen.  The voice you hear first, as the messages from spirit and the angelic realm come quickly, is the voice you should trust.  Anything after that, let go of, because chances are that it is our ego stepping in trying to control the situation.  The more you trust in your gifts and abilities and the more you trust in the relationships that await you with your guides and angels the faster things will happen for you.  I know this sounds too easy, Right? Well, it is that easy! I swear!</span></span></p>

It felt like I got to open a beautifully wrapped present every day, whenever my finances began to stress me out, I would pull my head out of it and re-align my heart and head again to trusting&#8230;I&#8217;m not kidding when I say this either, but if I needed $100 for my kids for school, I would ask my angels for help and the next day there would be a check in the mailbox for $100&#8230;a refund from a doctor’s office saying I overpaid&#8230;I don&#8217;t remember ever paying them a dime&#8230;.This is just an example, but what I am trying to say is that magical things happen everyday for me because of my desire and my trust in them and myself.  </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 11.4pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Comic Sans MS&quot;; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></p>

The Creator doesn&#8217;t do that to us, the Creator wants to co-create with us!!! There is movement and flow to that, co-creating is not stagnant!!!  <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></p>

<p>January 16th, 2010</p>
<p>Just a quick blog, I promised myself I would start blogging everyday start<em>ing with the new year,,,ok, I know I started late, and I’m  two weeks and a day late…but I&#8217;m actually on &#8220;blog #2&#8243;  WoooooooHoooooooooooo!!!!!!!<br />
</em></p>
<p><em>So here is my New Year’s resolution in a more detailed fashion, actually more like a defined promise to myself, to blog, aka journal, my daily life each and every day. This as part of my growing/learning experience as I challenge myself to change for the better, to maintain a positive attitude to prove that the Law of Attraction Exists, to prove that asking your angels for help exists and to prove that there is something larger than us in this big beautiful world.</em></p>
<p><em> So my list of things to talk about…</em></p>
<ul>
<li><em>Exper<em>iences with Angels</em></em></li>
<li><em><em>Experiences with Spirit Guides</em></em></li>
<li><em><em>Law of Attraction ~ Does it really Exist? Yes!!!</em></em></li>
<li><em><em>Changing for the Better, being a better person</em></em></li>
<li><em><em>Something bigger than the both of us<br />
</em></em></li>
<li><em>marriage is a big one</em></li>
<li><em>how much my marriage has changed and evolved over the past 8 years. </em></li>
<li><em>How my relationships around my marriage have changed, including those relationships with my children,,, that  ought to be a good one so stay tuned….</em></li>
<li><em> My intuitive life, how far I’ve come, and what my future aspirations are surrounding that subject, </em></li>
<li><em> My pets, the loss of two of beautiful fur babies, the grief is crushing and sometimes feels as if it is never ending.</em></li>
<li>Meditation &#8211; What does it really look like for the average girl like me&#8230;</li>
<li>Being a psychic medium, being intuitive, empathic</li>
<li>Metaphysics</li>
<li>My journey, starting back to school  to earn my PhD &#8211; Yeah for me! and AaaGggHhhh I&#8217;m scared!</li>
<li>Music ~ what rocks your world, what rocks mine?</li>
<li>Spirituality  ~ A mind set or a religion?</li>
</ul>
<p><em>And it’s now 3:37 am in the morning and my husband is complaining about it and the fact that I’m a night owl and not a day person….</em></p>
<p><em>So goodnight for now….Love to all</em></p>
<p><em>Blessings, with light love and laughter to you this day and always.</em></p>
<p><em>Micha’ele</em></p>

<p>January 15, 20010</p>
<p><em>Which seems to be a problem for me lately.  My New Year&#8217;s resolution to myself was to try to be more consistent, to do things with heart and love, and to be conscientious of the small and large things in my life.  For some reason, whether it be that I&#8217;ve always got my head and heart in the spirit realm, or that I tend to be less grounded due to other issues that I am working on,  or if its because I seem to let all the little things that surround my life influence me and distract me from my &#8220;now&#8221; or if its just a really bad habit that I&#8217;ve acquired, but I&#8217;m always 5 to 10 minutes late to EVERYTHING!  It drives me nuts more than it does others&#8230;but I&#8217;m working on it. </em></p>
<p><em>So better late than not at all with this one&#8230;..I promised myself that as part of my life lessons and ongoing learning about myself and life&#8230;.I want to blog everyday, even if it is only a paragraph&#8230;</em></p>
<p><em>So one down and 364 to go.  Minus 15 days that I couldn&#8217;t get my crap together&#8230;.I&#8217;ll be starting two weeks and a day or two late. </em></p>
<p><em>It is with spirits blessing and my hearts commitment that with these blogs, I will use them to learn or address one thing each day that I feel my spirit can learn from&#8230;</em></p>
<p><em>Wishing everyone  a day filled with light, love and laughter!</em></p>
<p><em>Mich</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I want to share a story with you.  For those of  you who know you have a gift but are afraid to share it&#8230;</p>
<p>Approximately a year and a half ago, I woke up one morning to hearing three names.  My spirit guides kept repeating them, the names will be changed to protect the innocent-lol) Carol, Howard and Jean.  I began asking everyone I ran across that morning if they were related to Carol, Howard and Jean.  Nope, Nope, Nope, so by the time I got to work I thought maybe I was just trying to drive myself nuts and just obsessing.  Anyway, I walked into my shop, and &#8220;Pat&#8221; was at the front desk smiling away, wishing me a warm hello.  Hello I said, and couldn&#8217;t help myself, in fact, it came out like word vomit.  &#8220;Pat? Do you know a Carol, Howard and a Jean?&#8221;  &#8220;Yes&#8221; Pat said. &#8220;Carol is my mother-in-law, Tom&#8217;s mom.&#8221;  I said &#8220;Ok fine? And Howard and Jean have passed away right?&#8221;  </p>
<p>&#8220;No&#8221; Pat said. &#8220;Howard is still alive, but Jean has passed&#8221;  I couldn&#8217;t help myself, because the message I got that morning was very clear! Not to mention, I had no idea who these folks were! Carol was the daughter and Howard and Jean were her parents, and my message was that they were both passed and they were saying hello to Carol.  I didn&#8217;t know what to say to Pat.  All I knew is that the message I got and the information Pat gave me were different.  I didn&#8217;t know what to say. I suddenly knew it, but I couldn&#8217;t say it.  Jean was coming through not just to say Hi, but to help Howard cross over, it was his time, my message was a bit confused, I thought they were both passed, but Jean was on the other side waiting for her soul mate, Harold to cross over to her so that they could be together.  </p>
<p>I asked Pat &#8220;Are you sure?&#8221;  She looked at me like I was nuts!  She didn&#8217;t really believe in all my &#8220;witchy-woo&#8221; stuff, but I knew what was about to happen, thank goodness the phone rang to distract us both from the conversation that neither one of us was comfortable with at that point.  </p>
<p>Pat came to work the following day to tell me that Howard had crossed over the night before at dinner.  The family was having there evening meal, and Howard took a breath and leant over his plate, yes, he was gone.  Pat began to cry a bit as she shared the news with me, I felt choked up and all I could say to her was &#8220;I&#8217;m sorry&#8221;, but inside I felt almost a sense of relief, I knew it was going to happen.  </p>
<p>&#8220;Remember yesterday morning when I asked you about Carol, Howard and Jean&#8230;?&#8221; She looked at me with a blank stare and suddenly looked as though she was about to pass out.  Spirit doesn&#8217;t always give you exact details, times or what exactly will or did happen, but trust what you get, write it down, it could be hours, days, months, years,,,or even minutes in my case, but at some point it will all make senseto you, you (or I) will be validated.  I can&#8217;t tell you how many times I&#8217;ve gotten information and had no idea what to do with, who to give it to, or what the signs were for, because maybe I hadn&#8217;t been shown yet.  Trust me when I say when I give a reading, it&#8217;s interactive.  I just need to say that it&#8217;s not up to me to figure out the puzzle, they give me the pieces that will  fit for you!</p>
<p>So bless you and your spirit guides, and may they help guide you along your path, may you be open to listen and to be open to their love.</p>
<p>Bright blessings to you.</p>

<p>How many times have you found yourself doubting your thoughts, not trusting?  I did that today, and then I began to remember&#8230;.</p>
<p>I started reflecting today about something that happened about five and half years ago. It was a rainy day in December.  My daughter and her two friends were upstairs getting  ready to hang out at another friends house only a couple blocks down the street. </p>
<p>I hate to use this story as an example, but this was truly the first time I had a lesson in trusting, trusting your guides and your angels, actually slap me in the face! </p>
<p>So on this rainy day, as my daughter and her two friends started out the front door.  I actually heard a loud and authorative voice speak at me saying &#8221;Take her keys away from her and give her your keys to the BMW.!&#8221;  I thought I was going crazy! I WAS HEARING VOICES. THEY LOCK PEOPLE UP FOR THAT.   And I also knew that my husband was going to KILL ME if anything happened to our car, if she got into a fender bender or blew a tire because she ran over a curb for the 101st time.  But I digress&#8230;</p>
<p> My daughter only had her license for a month, and her dad gave her an old car so she wouldn&#8217;t have to drive ours ~ she was allowed to drive a 1984 Honda civic, it barely ran, the tires looked as though they only had one tread left, the inside of the car was completely falling apart.  I mean that literally!  It was beaten, and it definitely would not have passed a &#8220;safe car you can drive&#8221; award, in fact it would be the winner of the &#8220;scariest, most dangerous cars to be in when involved in an accident!&#8221; award.  But my husband bought it for her, it was only meant for her to drive to school and back, he was so thrilled to have been able to give her her first car, and she was excited to get one.</p>
<p>To give you an idea of how bad her car was&#8230;When I sat in the car and shut the door, pieces of the ceiling would begin falling all over, chunks of the roof and foam would float down, landing in my hair and in my lap.  But what the heck? I thought, as my husband handed her the keys to her first car.  She wasn&#8217;t sure, and neither was I, if she should be thankful or upset, but she smiled, gave him a hug and said a sincere thank you to him, she was genuinely thankful for the thought of her step dad getting her a car, what 16 year old doesn&#8217;t want a car to drive around in, but then there was the message that the poor decrepit car sent to both of us ~ DANGER DANGER WILL ROBINSON!  LOL</p>
<p>Anyway, it was a rainy day, it was like the second week in December. When I met my daughter and her two friends at the front entrance way of our home to hug her good bye before she drove off to enjoy her new exciting freedom with her two friends, on this particular stormy night. I wanted to tell them to stay home and a rent a movie, anything, just to keep them home.  I remember them talking about driving around to see the Christmas lights in town, so the nastalgic part of me gave in. </p>
<p>It was about 7:30, maybe 8 pm, and it was dark outside.  As she bounced to the front door, I yelled out for her to wait, I ran out the door, and as I hugged her, I felt a feeling, and I needed to hug her again, and didn&#8217;t want to let go, and as I was wrapping my arms around her skinny little torso, I heard the voice, I still believe to this day that it was an angel.  It was an authoritative voice, similar to that voice that my dad (whom had passed away the year before) used when I was to heed his advice, and I couldn&#8217;t help but listen.  I told her to hold on, I went into the kitchen grabbed my purse and chased after her in the walkway outside, yelling to her to wait and come back in.  Usually she says something like &#8220;I&#8217;m OK mom, don&#8217;t worry&#8221; She didn&#8217;t, I saw her turn around, almost like a soldier, she walked up to me, didn&#8217;t say a word and looked at me like &#8220;What are you doing mom?&#8221;  I barely had to dig, it felt like someone was in my purse helping to hand me the keys to my car.  I handed them to her without a second thought and told her &#8220;It&#8217;s raining you know, so drive slow and be careful!&#8221;.  &#8220;I will&#8221; she said as she smiled, &#8220;I&#8217;m actually a bit nervous about driving in the dark in the rain, so don&#8217;t worry Mom, I&#8217;ll be cool&#8221;. She was so excited that she actually was being allowed to drive mom&#8217;s big black BMW.  She and her friends hopped in the car and off the went!</p>
<p>I went upstairs, looking forward to some quiet time to watch a movie. My husband was downstairs, beginning a hand of poker with about five other friends.  The poker game felt as if it were getting louder and louder, the guys were probably losing money, based on the shrieks of them that sounded like girls being pulled away from big sale at Neiman Marcus&#8230;&#8221;NO, NO, NO&#8221; they cried.  I&#8217;d hear pounding of fists on the table, and an occasional naughty remark of one to another commenting on each others skills of playing cards or just comments to throw them off their game.  Because it was getting so loud, I started getting cranky because I couldn&#8217;t hear my movie.  So I shut the bedroom door, turned up the TV, and grabbed the cordless phone and laid it next to me. </p>
<p>It had to have been about 40 minutes after my daughter left the house, the card game was well on its way, based on the amount of open liquor containers on the kitchen counter and the stack of cash placed neetly in the middle of the table. </p>
<p>The phone rang. I ran upstairs to get the phone, it was my daughters friend.  She was panicked and with a rush of energy exploded the words &#8220;We got in an accident, the car is totalled, your daughter is talking with a couple of guys that were in the other car, and we&#8217;re waiting for the police and the ambulance.  What do we do?&#8221;  I told her to hold on that we would be there in a minute.  Her father was playing cards with my husband, so before I had a chance to run down stairs and tell my husband what had happened, she beat me to it.  She was talking with her dad on his cell phone, and it was fair to say that based on the look on my husbands face&#8230;.he knew based on the conversation his friend was having with his daughter.  I then called my daughters cell phone, she picked up but sounded really shook up. She told me what happened, about the ambulance through the light and the sirens, the car behind the ambulance who hit her straight on like a &#8220;T&#8221;, did not have his lights on and was chasing the ambulance.  All my heart and my mouth could muster was &#8220;Are you alright?&#8221; &#8220;Yes,&#8221; she paused &#8220;a few bruises, my arm hurts, it hit the steering wheel, but &#8220;M&#8221; was on the passengers side were the car actually hit, she&#8217;s pretty sure she&#8217;s got whiplash and her arm is hurting her&#8221;.  I turned to my husband, and all he could muster to say was, &#8220;what&#8217;s the  bleeping, f&amp;*%ing  car like?&#8221; &#8221;Did she total it?&#8221;, &#8220;F&amp;*%, F&amp;*%, F&amp;*%!&#8221;  He was pissed to say the least!</p>
<p> I was so thankful that I handed my daughter the keys that nite, that I listened to my angels.  My daughter and her two friends would be dead today, maybe badly injured at best, if they had taken her car and not mine. </p>
<p>I wanted to be angry at my husband though, for not asking about our daughter, and seeming to appear much more concerned about the car then the child.  But the next day, I realized that he had changed our insurance coverage the day before the accident from full to liability coverage only.  He wasn&#8217;t mad at her, he was mad at himself, maybe a bit at me for giving her the keys,,,,he was mad at himself for changing the insurance coverage, without talking it over with me, and the biggest reason - he went against his own angels &#8220;voice&#8221;. </p>
<p>You live and you learn I guess! </p>
<p>I&#8217;ve heard that voice a couple of other times since then, and I do exactly as it says!</p>
<p>You should too! I have never believed in Coincidences ~ there just aren&#8217;t any,,,every thing happens for a reason!<br />

<p>Today is a day to recover, the past few days have taken their toll on me.  I took my youngest daughter to the fair here in town. We looked at all of the local art exhibits and crafts. It was actually inspiring, even my daughter came home and began drawing and painting pictures that she wants me to enter for her in the fair, with her goal being a blue ribbon!  She&#8217;s very excited about getting a ribbon.  I don&#8217;t have the heart to tell her that she&#8217;ll have to wait another year. </p>
<p>My oldest daughter, of course, is wondering the town of Napa somewhere. She and her new boyfriend are incognito, and I am unable to find her.  The last conversation we had was of course about her drinking and driving. She doesn&#8217;t like to be told what to do, so she left.  It&#8217;s going on two weeks since I&#8217;ve seen her.  I did speak to her three days ago, when I called her cell phone and left a message, she was kind enough to call me back to say that she was staying with the boyfriends family.  How long will it be before they grow tired of her antics, her sponging, she (I&#8217;m positive) has no money to pay them for food or lodging. And, like she has done in the past, &#8220;works&#8221; the parents into believing that her parents don&#8217;t like her, do not understand her, etc.  But what I have come to realize, she chooses these boys, based on their living situations.  They all seem to live at home, helping to care for the somewhat torn and dysfunctional families.  Instead of allowing them their own space to heal, she comments to me how she  told the mother &#8220;what our family has been through&#8221; to help that mother feel as though her life is not so awful.  The sad thing for me is that the story she tells is not the truth.  That is hurtful, it hurts me and my husband, because we can&#8217;t figure out why she feels the need to dramatize her own life, when things at home are fine.  Truly our only issues are those relating to our daughter and her addictions.  Her addiction to alcohol and to drama. </p>
<p> I have a friend who is like 25 years sober, she too is an alcoholic and has been a huge savor to me, allowing me a window into what it is my daughter is thinking, feeling, and the drama, the need to make up insanity so that she will continue to have an excuse to drink.  I can&#8217;t thank my friend enough for all of her useful support and love.  Especially when I think that it is a natural tendency for us parents to lay blame on ourselves for what our adult children choose to do with their lives.  It does help to know that I shouldn&#8217;t do that, I still find myself occasionally blaming myself, but at least I am to a point now where I can sit in stillness and even meditate on what those emotions are about, and why this life lesson is here for me at this time.</p>
<p> So I found myself yesterday feeling quite ill, not sure if what from the heat exhaustion from the previous day or the unrelenting heat of the day itself?  Or just a flu bug?  Not really sure, only knowing that I was unable to get out of bed until about 1 am last night before I felt somewhat normal. The temperature had fallen to about 80 degrees, and the cool coastal breeze, all though it wasn&#8217;t much to speak of, still helped as it managed to make it&#8217;s way in through my bedroom window.  I woke up this morning feeling stiff and my back aching, but overall much better than yesterday! </p>
<p>After meditating this morning, I realized that I may have been to &#8220;open&#8221; while at the county fair.  Empathy can be a great thing when I can control it, but I have learned that the more I become able to channel, control those energies that are trying so hard to speak to me, and my ability to be empathic, I have yet to control the empathic part.  When I find myself around someone who has had a bad day, I feel it. When someone has been sad or depressed I feel it&#8230;you get the picture. But I thought I was doing OK with controlling the feelings I was getting, not letting them wear me down.  But I think the day at the fair was to much, and I unfortunately did not prepare or center myself before walking into it.  So I wonder if my day of feeling like absolute crud yesterday was the recovery of taking on everyone&#8217;s issues empathically or was it just the flu? </p>
<p>All I know is that today is a better day, a more positive day, a calm day, I feel more grounded today then I have in the past three days,,,,so with that being said I am going to go read a book and relax</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-27" href="http://healingintuitivegarden.com/blog/2008/05/28/spirit-interventionall-day-longim-exhausted/black-and-white-spotted-butterfly/" title="black and white spotted butterfly"><img width="1329" src="http://healingintuitivegarden.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/black-and-white-butterfly.bmp" alt="black and white spotted butterfly" height="1014" style="width: 224px; height: 210px" /></a>  Again, I have spent almost the entire day troubleshooting with my computer. I&#8217;ve been doing readings, I did several this morning and tried to write/interpret my information so that I could send it to my clients. Well, that&#8217;s when it began, during the first reading. I usually tape record my sessions so that I don&#8217;t miss anything.  As soon as I would finish a reading the tape recorder would immediately stop. Not a bad thing actually, because it kept my sessions in quite an efficient system. As soon as it finished, I was able to put in another tape and so on,,,no fussing with stopping, rewinding, etc. So that was nice.</p>
<p>The trouble started when I began to listen to the tapes and started to type in a word program what I recorded and things just got strange. The computer wouldn&#8217;t connect to the internet, then it would, but my website pages wouldn&#8217;t open (again), then I completely lost my monitor.  So I acknowledging spriti intervention at this point. But I am still having to work through all of this.  So my phone rang a couple of tiems, and as I would grab my phone, I coud see that the names were those of my clients.  But as I would press a button to answer the call, the call woul go straight to voice mail.  So the great news is that I was able to check my voice mail, there wasn&#8217;t anything urgent but did recieve a couple of really not messages from my previous clients thanking me and telling me how great their reading was. </p>
<p>I kind of woke up this morning in a small but maneagable funk, not really sure why, but could only ponder that it had something to do with some very strange dreams that I had that night, something about snow and ice, driving and trying to keep my car on the road, then I remembered the dream I had the night before, where I was actually driving my car around the turn of a mountain side and my car stearing wheel wouldn&#8217;t move, I went off the cliff, but not tumbling, not rolling or bumping down, just straight off the edge and then floating down, quickly of course, and of course I then remembered that I had woken up prior to my ass hitting the ground.  So hence, the &#8220;funk&#8221;.</p>
<p>So as the day progressed, I started to &#8220;snap&#8221; out of it and chose to meditate and do some readings, that always makes me feel lighter and more happy regardless of what&#8217;s going on!</p>
<p>So the readings were good and I&#8217;ll be posting what i received in a minute, but I just thougth it was so funny how many crazy things happened that just wouldn&#8217;t allow the process to go smoothly. So i wonder if it&#8217;s Spirit&#8217;s way of just playing, communicating or trying to prevent me from communicating to my client via email.  I always feel such a stronger connection when I do my readings in person, but I have consciously chosen to do most of them recently by email, because being empathic, the one-on-one readings got so intense. I had a few were it felt as though my heart was pounding so fast I thought my heart would explode, my arms would ache, or whatever, I just really took on whatever illness/pain the Spirit was trying to show me&#8230;</p>
<p>As many of you know I have suffered from Fibromyalgia for many years, and have found that when I&#8217;m not careful with the readings, and if I take on to many of the empathic qualities of my readings that it really wipes me out, it takes me days to recover from it. So I&#8217;ve made the decision to go the email root until things calm down and I can work out some communication issues with my guides.  The vibrations they send can&#8217;t be quite intense.</p>
<p>Well, it&#8217;s late, and I&#8217;m fricken tired of trying to make my desktop function, so maybe tomorrow,,,so I&#8217;m signing off from my good old lap&#8230;top&#8230;.</p>
<p>Hugs, light and love to all</p>
<p>Namaste,</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So I&#8217;ve been practicing my &#8220;channeling abilities&#8221;. I have met two new guides now. It&#8217;s been an incredible feeling and experience. I highly recommend the book Opening to Channel, How to Connect With Your Guide by Sanaya Roman and Duane Packer. I&#8217;ve have been communicating with my guide Ariel since I was about 21. And thankfully she is still here with me. I actually think she&#8217;s been with me since I was a baby, since I had vivid memories of her as a child. Very angelic like, with flowing white robes, similar to that of a high priestess, and her presence felt like that of an angel floating on a light beam. The other night, when I started working on meeting my guides, I began to remember specific events from my childhood.</p>
<p>One day in particular, that I can&#8217;t forget because it was so terrifying, I must have been about 5, maybe 6 years of age. My mom took me to church one Sunday. The Open Hand Christian church I believe is what it was called. From the outside it felt medieval, big wooden doors adorned the front of the church with the big rot iron door handles and bolts. But I have to say, the inside felt even more dark. I remember things were covered with red velvet. I remember sitting in the third pew back from the front. The pastor was speaking of the devil, and to fear God. He was yelling it! How awful I thought. I remember hearing a voice even then, a comforting voice telling me not to worry, that the man was only speaking of what he new, and out of fear, and that there was no such thing as the devil, only evil, which was the absence of God and Light, the higher self, the light within our hearts. I told my mom that I didn&#8217;t want to go back, so we didn&#8217;t. </p>
<p>And that was that. I told my mom what I had heard, what my &#8220;angel&#8221; told me. And I can&#8217;t remember my mother ever taking me to church again. I think she probably thought it frightened me. Or that I was crazy. But I felt more of a sense that it was fake and made up rather than something to be feared. I remember telling myself at that age that God is good, he wouldn&#8217;t create something so bad. He gives us choices and it&#8217;s up to us to decide what it is that we want to do with it from there&#8230;</p>
<p>So here I am, feeling really happy and lucky, with Ariel still by my side, and now Connie, I think that&#8217;s what her name is. There is an Irish accent and a sense that she comes from a strong Celtic or Welsh knowing&#8230;I can&#8217;t find the right word to use besides &#8220;knowing&#8221;, it just seems right. And she has a wonderful light sense of humor, and seems very wise. To the point. Similar to Ariel. But more helpful, or more available? I get the feeling she is here for me for different reasons.</p>
<p>There is another guide, I think is a masculine energy but I still haven&#8217;t gotten to much on him yet, still he seems quiet.</p>
<p>My lesson in all of this has been my truth. I&#8217;ve known my whole life what I believe. It hasn&#8217;t wavered. I remember seeing faces and shadows when I was a kid, I felt things happening to me that weren&#8217;t, (like when my dad had a heartattack, I felt it) I knew that it happened or was happening to someone else. I would tell my mom, and she would say I was just having a bad dream. Funny how she now asks me if my Grandma is around and to do readings for her, she&#8217;s particulary fond of the tarot&#8230;</p>
<p>Warm wishes and laughter to all&#8230;<br />

Anyway, I&#8217;m trying to set it up so that I can start working on my website/blog and Reiki manual.  I begin to open a yahoo website, and blam, nothing opens and I&#8217;m getting error messages that say that I&#8217;ve got some type of error in my &#8220;lookup file&#8221;.  So then I download aol, I open it up and the page is white! Nothing shows up, so I&#8217;ve been working on it for three hours everyday for the past week, and I it all seems like wasted time.  I&#8217;d tried something strange, as I heard it from my guides and I did it, I did a system restore to a month ago, I have no idea why, just doing what I&#8217;m told.  Sure enough it worked! So here I am blogging away! Yeah! </p>
<p>I just got an email from Ruth Finley Person &#8211; Wells Fargo Center for the Arts, Santa Rosa, CA.  Asking me to help them promote Lisa Williams Medium &#038; Clairvoyant, her show on July 23rd.  Amazing!  I have no connection to them what so ever, and now all of the sudden I&#8217;m putting my mentor on my website to help advertise in this area for tickets to her show.  OMG!</p>
<p>HUGS TO ALL AND HAVE A BLESSED DAY!</p>
