Confusion shows up in the energy field looking like fog. Setting the intention for yourself of finding clarity and refreshing your grounding cords are ways to let the fog clear. Move your attention to your heart and let it communicate with you with the insights it holds.

There is always an opportunity to communicate spirit to spirit. Let yourelf imagine the person you’re talking to as a spirit, and set the intention to see them as spirit, not as limited personalities or egos. Set intentions for your work or time together, and hold that while you’re communicating. It’s possible to re-direct power plays or challenging situations. It also opens you to accessing your own compassion, and setting a flow of your higher self towards that other person. They are then free to be their higher selves.

Follow your dreams. When there’s a repetition of a theme, reflect on the information. This is a way your spirit or higher self is trying to get your attention. Once you’ve received the lesson, the dream will subside. Get some help for interpretation, or meditate deeply and let the answer come to you.

The excitement of the moment when the insight happens makes this work a thrill. Sometimes the obvious is so completely obscured by your unconscious mind that it’s amazing when the realization happens. We all see the world through our own reference points, and when the fixed position shifts, the light opens the face and there’s a moment when the simplest shift starts someone on a new phase of their life. If I can be a witness to that, lucky me.

Everything takes the time it takes. There is no reason to apologize for your pace of decision making, change, or integration of new insights. Putting one step in front of the other is an excellent strategy, and finding those practitioners who truly make you feel supported is vital. 

Meditation is a way to settle your mind so you can receive the wisdom your spirit is trying to communicate. It doesn’t matter if it’s a “good” meditation or not, because the act of repetition creates the opportunity for you to receive guidance from your Higher Self. Often the meditation provides a sense of being deeply grounded and suddenly you’ve drifted to sleep. So what? It’s not a “bad” meditation, and if you can wake up and keep going you might find you feel grounded, relaxed and more open than usual.

When the universe is trying to assist you in taking an important step in your growth, oftentimes you’ll experience setbacks that seem to come from nowhere. If you don’t pay attention, the messages become more insistent until finally it feels like a two by four. May your lessons be gentle! 

In a crisis, when viewing it from a more neutral perspective, it’s clear that whether you knew it or not, the supports to help you through have been put in place. By whom? By you, of course. The spirit often “previews” what is coming and without realizing it, you have the support networks of friends and professionals to help you take a big step towards healing.

When you are changing on a deep level, rest is essential. The body, mind and spirit are re-integrating and it takes courage to shed old patterns; especially when the new is not yet formed! Often the body literally aches, but imagine it letting go of the things that no longer serve, and feel free to send your loving kindness in the bodies’ direction.

In every person I see, when they begin to feel better and more themselves, their perspective and “vision” inevitably moves into a greater and higher perspective. It’s as though they’re a bird, surveying the landscape below them and searching for opportunities with wider angles.
