Soul Expression

It only felt natural to post something about gratitude during this week of giving thanks. I know we've all heard about the importance of cultivating an "attitude of gratitude" and I wondered if there was anything more that our friends on the other side would like to expound on here. What follows is their perspective on why it's important to feel grateful and how to cultivate more of that feeling in our lives. Have a wonderful and safe holiday season!                                  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Giving thanks is not just a periodic practice if you want to adapt a true attitude of gratitude. The real test is finding things to feel grateful for even in the midst of chaos and when all feels lost. Gratitude, like any other emotion, carries it's own vibration and as the law of attraction applies, like attracts like. Therefore, it becomes particularly important to feel grateful in times of despair. As you are learning

There is a lot of confusion around our guides--who they are, what they do, and so on. I hope this information provides insight and clarity and some smiles along the way. Cheers! An overview of their 'job description' in their own words: "We are present through the course of your physical incarnation, serving to assist you on your path. We understand the goals and intentions your soul has regarding this particular life path and we support and guide you on that journey. We are not here to judge you or criticize you, but only to help you achieve the growth and service opportunities you chose to embrace in this lifetime. We see the "bigger picture" and with that knowledge assist you in going in the direction that is in your greatest good. And there it is in a nutshell: your greatest good. This is always our primary focus. We are continually focused on guiding you in the direction that serves you best. When your free will veers from that direction we do not f

Jenna Sizemore from Cincinnati asks some thought provoking questions about the nature of our physical plane and whether it is real at all or simply made up by the ego. If it is an illusion, than would any intellectual or spiritual pursuit we make within the illusion merely be used as a step up an illusory ladder that will disappear when we reconnect with Truth? If so, what does it matter what we eat? Could we simply enjoy fries & burgers and forgive the illusion of fat, cholesterol, and sodium? Profound questions! I have broken this down into two parts. The first question I asked the other side is simply, "Is this physical reality an illusion? Following that, the other side responds to Jenna's questions a little deeper regarding the nature of our physical reality, our perceived separation from God, and our relationship with food. Thank you Jenna for such insightful questions!               ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Is this physical reality

What is my purpose? How do I know if I'm in alignment with my purpose? What am I here to do? I really wanted to address these questions, in a general way, because it is one of the most often asked questions in private readings. I'm learning that we have a general misunderstanding of what "life purpose" means. I realized that people feel there is one very specific thing they came here to do and there is some anxiety and confusion around knowing if they are doing it or not. There has been a common theme across readings in the other side's response to what a person's "purpose" is. Recognizing this theme, and our misunderstanding, I wanted to dig deeper and ask the other side to talk about this in more detail. Here is what they have to say. Enjoy!         ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "This isn't as black and white as you are thinking it is. You all come into the human experience with intentions to lea

A beautiful young woman recently asked me how she could talk to her guides and I realized just how often this question comes up in private readings. It might be the question I hear most frequently and it is certainly a good one. I hope the information received below will provide some insight, clarity, and deeper connection with your spiritual teachers.  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "We are assisting you all of the time, simply without your knowledge of the communication. What you really want to know is how to have conscious contact with us. This isn’t even so much necessary, for if it were everybody would be hearing us clearly all of the time. We are here to support you on your journey but it is your journey and we do not wish to be telling you what to do—that would be counter productive to your purposes. If people could hear us clearly this would be the inclination—to ask us which direction to take in every choice given, which

I've received this question from several people and it's a good one! It's a two part question. First, do we always incarnate as humans, or do we ever experience being a part of the animal, mineral, or plant kingdoms? Second, do trees (or plants, or animals) have such a strong sense of individuality as we do? For example, does an elm tree have its own soul, or identity, that chooses each incarnation as we do?  The Guides response to the first question: Do we ever incarnate in the plant/animal/mineral kingdoms? "Yes, you do at times do this to gain that experience--to experience consciousness through those means. All expressions of consciousness in the physical realm offers a unique experience and perspective. For this reason alone, it is appealing to experience various life forms. The soul is constantly growing and expanding and as such wishes to learn as much as possible about the many various facets of expression in the physical realm. That sai

  The high heart chakra, or what a lot of people are calling the thymus chakra given it’s proximity to the thymus, is an energy center that has existed in your energetic body and is now being pulled in and activated in your physical body.   It is capable of producing in you an even greater and deeper experience of love. The activation of this chakra in the physical body is causing some to experience symptoms of chest congestion, difficulty breathing (as it affects the lungs), heart palpitations or fluttering, or a feeling of heaviness in the chest. These are all natural symptoms in response to your body’s adjustment to this new chakra in the physical system. The presence of the high heart chakra does not negate the function of the heart chakra, which is designed to maintain experiences and expressions of love—self-love and love in relationships-. The high heart however is what allows you to pull in an experience of love that transcends your previous experiences of love. The hi

Ok, so the following question is actually one of my own. It's something that's been driving me nuts lately. I'm aware that our earth plane vibrates within a particular range, let's say between 200-400 MHz for example, and that we can experience any given area within that spectrum. So I'm wondering, do we continue to raise our vibration with each incarnation, experiencing higher and higher ranges on the vibrational scale? Would experiencing a lifetime where your vibration is at the higher end, and then a following lifetime on the lower end be like a senior in high school going back to first grade--is that productive? How does this work?? I finally feel like I got the clarity I was looking for--and maybe it may shed some light on your curiosities as well. In Joy :)  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Q: In terms of our human incarnations, do we continue to move up the vibrational scale with ea

As we are learning to operate within a new vibration, following the Earth's shift, one thing that people are consistently noticing is how rapidly their thoughts become reality. As creative beings, we are manifesting at an even quicker rate than before. This new vibrational plane we are in allows for more rapid manifestation, which is prompting us to really learn how to focus our energy more mindfully. Below is an excerpt from Shift: New Paradigms for a New Earth,  which speaks to this idea of learning how to become more mindful of what we are 'putting out there'. The sharing of this felt timely, as I myself have been noticing this rapid manifestation and consequently the need for more responsible energy management, as well as hearing others comment on the subject as well. We are in a new vibrational space and we are learning how to function within it. I feel this is one of the most important lessons we can gain on this ever-expanding path of awareness and growth. In Joy!
