LAUGHTER via the angels

Laughter lightens the heart, soothes the soul and frees the spirit.
Lots of laughter encourages more spontaneity than normal.
A tense situation can be easily changed with laughter and humour,
Is this a hard row to hoe or a delightful opportunity?

Start to see what is funny. daily, hourly or minute by minute. The world is funny. People are funny. Everyone is eccentric. Every person you meet has a story. But those souls with heavy energy and have a serious outlook don’t really live life. Life is NOT such a serious business. It is meant to be enjoyed minute by minute. But you must first be in this moment, be aware-----be in the now! Serious situations will appear less serious and funny.
Smiles on the faces of people and laughter from children have the ability to touch your heart. An open heart is a healthy heart. Look for what is funny, sweet etc., run over your day and notice funny. Try to notice at the time.
SMILE and the world will smile with you. LAUGH and you will have company.
Avoid the serious heavy police dramas, high body count action flicks and horror shows is possible. The state those movies or shows cause is a serious state, a fearful state. Serious and fearful people are much easier to control.
So laugh a lot and often.

--------------

Read The Celestine Prophecy to learn about how our energies and auras are affected by the words other people say to us. That book made me have epiphanies. There was a freedom in reading the words written by James Redfield. The story is about the author getting a mysterious phone call and a clandestine meeting about an old manuscript. The situations, problems and adventure which follows clearly show that nothing is an accident.

--------------

Conversations With God, Book 1 is a great read and God has a huge sense of humour. I gave Book 1 to my son who had returned to school and had just broken up with his girlfriend. He couldn’t put it down and raced to my house to borrow Book 11 which I have not had back. I’ll let him keep it. That too is a great book.
The author Neale Donald Walsch began by getting up at 3:00am (healing hour) because he could not sleep. He began writing all his complaints to God on yellow legal paper. His relationship had just broken up, he lost his job and figured God was to blame. When he tried to put the pen down, his fingers gripped the pen and wrote more words on the paper.
The words on the paper were something like ‘I’m here what else do you want to say?’
Neale freaked but the conversation had begun. This book will allow you to feel free or not.
This is a life changing book.

Dreams

As a child, 80% of your dreams are from the past (past lives) and 20% represent the future. As an adult, the opposite is true, 80% are future and 20% are past. Children often have bad dreams and when there has been no trauma or violence either from their lives or television, parents often wonder why. Past lives which are much fresher for them, can stir things up.
I had a reoccurring dream from the time I was very young until about the age of 12. It was night time, dark, no moon and I could hear low rumbling sounds which scared me. I stepped outdoors, in the shadows of my house and I could see tank after tank coming down the street. I knew I had to hide because if those guns saw movement, I would be a target. Panic grabbed me by the throat as I ran into the back alley attempting to blend in with the trees. My dream always ended with me attempting to hide and feeling completely scared. Now, I feel that I must have lived in Europe during World War II and died there as well. Everyone has had some dream over and over again. Take a look at it. Is it ongoing or has it stopped? Start writing and begin tracking your dreams. Wait for a few weeks before re-reading them. Pay attention to what impressions you are getting. It can be a lot of fun.
Now here’s an ANGEL take on dreams:

“Some dreams are real and come true the way they appear. However, most dreams are full of symbols. It’s your heart and mind ‘s way of letting you see what worries or needs to be concerning you without causing an anxiety attack or panic.
In every day, as you are dreaming, you in the dream state understand far more than when you are ‘awake’. The feeling of the dream was important. If you remember nothing else, remember the feeling.
The ability to fly, to lift heavy objects, defeat foes or do anything, is your invitation that YOU can do anything!!!!!
The dream state allows you to feel powerful or not! The power is there. The ability to deal with anyone or anything is there!
In the waking state, your inability to believe in yourself comes crashing down. The dream state is to show you your capabilities, among other things.
In the dream state, as your spirit leaves your body, you can connect with anyone, even us Of course that is why relatives and friends who have left this earth often enter your dreams. Much of what you see includes angels, definitely spirit bodies. You can see far more with your spirit eyes than your physical eyes.
However, you don’t always remember much when you awaken. A fast way of connecting to your spirit state is to take out the trash. Once a day, preferably upon rising, write down all the thoughts going through your head. Close the book and don’t read it again. Your choice to write 1, 2, or 3 pages daily or alternate.. In a few weeks, more kindness will begin flowing through. Your dreams and wishes will begin to show up on your morning pages. The can’ts, won’ts and don’ts will disappear. Your essence becomes clearer and very positive. This is any easy exercise.

Earth souls have much more power than allowed to believe. You have been limited as to how much you believe you can make a difference. You can make a difference in your life by believing in your self and this will be passed on to others.`
Do you want your good dreams to come true and the bad ones to disappear? Take note, write down what you remember (from your dreams). Take out the negative energy so the real you and your path can shine through. So many people wake daily in a foul mood, infecting everyone they meet. Infection spreads quickly, this does indeed affect the energy we all share, the universal collective energy. A kind word, a smile, a little humour or a laugh can all change your day for the good. In turn, you can change and improve the day of another.
When you believe in yourself, you believe in another and another. You need to believe in each other to change the world to a more compassionate state it is destined to be. Ask for our help and we will gladly help you.”

The book, The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron is one terrific book if you would like to increase your ability to find your talents and dreams.

Erectile Dysfunction: what Astrology, Yoga, and the Chakras teach Us

Erectile Dysfunction: what Astrology, Yoga, and the Chakras teach Us
©2010 by Maggie Yanor, (http://maggietheastrologer.blogspot.com/)


When Pluto—the planet of sex and secrets—was in Sagittarius—the sign of straightforward talk—erectile dysfunction began to get a buzz in the press. We’ve been bombarded ever since with newspaper, television and SPAM advertisements about it. The ads promote the sale of pills that supposedly heal this physical problem. The medications offer terrific results and promise that your life will be changed for the better.

Pluto is in Capricorn now, a sign that supports traditional views and “the establishment,” –in this instance, the medical establishment as well as the wealthy pharmaceutical companies. Mainstream medicine supports the separation of mind, body and soul that is the true reason for this particular dysfunction. It only addresses symptoms and never the real problem.

While ED medications may help the body work physically, the real issue of being blocked emotionally is never really addressed. As we’ll see later, unless the underlying blockages and attitudes that create ED change, these medications can wind up causing even more physical problems.

The Chakra System and how it Relates to ED: We have a series of energy centers, better known as chakras in our body, linked together by the spinal column. When we have issues to deal with, those issues affect our chakras. If we don’t deal with those issues, eventually they will manifest in the physical body. Usually physical problems begin between the ages of 35 – 42 years of age. The heart chakra, in the area of the actual physical heart, is the main area related to ED. Yoga is a great tool for noticing these chakra issues and realizing what needs to be done. Yoga teachings recognize that we have a huge amount of unbelievable power at our disposal that we do not have the maturity to use until after 35.

How Kundalini Blockages Contribute: At around 35 to 36 years of age, our kundalini energy begins to rise. It lies like a curled serpent at the base of our spine, then travels from the base of the spine up to our crown chakra at the top of the head, and then out to the universe where we’re all connected.

If the kundalini energy is stopped at a chakra, it means that emotional issues around that chakra have not been worked out. If we don’t deal with issues, if we think that blaming others for the problems in our lives is fine, physical symptoms will begin to show themselves. In erectile dysfunction, usually the energy tries to rise but becomes blocked at the heart chakra, which is located right under the bottom of where your ribs join. The heart chakra rules love, compassion, and sharing.

The heart chakra is the key to keeping the kundalini open. In order to do so, men must become more like women by sharing their feelings, being compassionate and more loving. There has been so much conditioning of men to be heartless, logical and dispassionate. It’s a struggle for them to turn it around. I have spoken to large groups of women about this and the response is always the same. Men who suffer from ‘not getting it up’ keep to themselves and never share their feelings (Opinions are not the same as feelings!)

During the kundalini opening, men must look for the good around them. So many men who suffer from decreased potency will begin searching for the woman who can turn them on. Finding another woman is not the answer. The answer is within.

Kundalini and the Planet Uranus: The stars do affect us. When a kundalini blockage becomes urgent, any astrologer can figure out what to do by watching the planet Uranus. Transiting Uranus begins to oppose natal Uranus as part of the midlife cycle of planetary aspects around the age of 36.This is the time when the kundalini energy is triggered.

Uranus rules the sign Aquarius and is the planet of technology, intellectualism, separateness, and detachment. When transiting Uranus opposes natal Uranus, there’s a point when Uranian traits like detachment and the rational, scientific way of thinking have gone too far. They’ve cut us off from our feelings and shut us away from real connections with one another.

The Uranus opposition says, ‘all right now, put away the games and begin to really relate to each other.’ By that age, many Uranian types—including Aquarians—have spent so much time exploring in the mind and outside the body that it’s hard to change gears overnight and go within. That’s why this part of the midlife cycle can be such a challenge and why symptoms like ED can appear.

ED—the Symptom, not the Problem; Why Pills don’t really solve it

When the kundalini energy rises and becomes blocked at the heart chakra, it returns back down the spine to the root chakra and that’s when some men begin to experience erectile dysfunction. There are always emotional issues before we experience physical problems. If the heart chakra issues are not worked out, eventually the physical heart will cause them problems.

Being physically fit can help, but will only delay the problem. The man who coined the term ‘jogging’ wrote a book on it years ago. It became the rage, and I remember seeing this very large coffee table book placed prominently in all the book stores. The author was extremely fit, but died of a heart attack while jogging at the age of 42. Hmmm!

I have talked to so many women whose fathers, brothers, uncles or grandfathers have all had heart attacks. Some died, some had a second chance. All of them could not share their feelings before the attack, because they were hard-hearted, and some were just so closed off. When a man does suffer a stroke or heart attack, usually his life changes. He will cry more (as opposed to never, a good sign that the heart is open) because events and the situations of others will touch him more. He can become more thoughtful. Why go through a heart attack?

Medications which force energy up the body in order to have an erection sound great, but if the heart issues are not faced and changed, a heart attack can still be the outcome. Without your emotional engagement with your heart, the constant forcing of kundalini energy through the heart chakra will have dire consequences.

I asked a doctor once about problems with ED medications. He said there have been far more deaths due to side effects than we are allowed to know about, but the information has been suppressed by powerful, wealthy pharmaceutical companies.

WARNING: Taking pills to create an erection is like being given a black belt in martial arts without the training. As long as you never fight or spar, you’ll be fine. However, a couple of good fights and you’ll be on your ass or worse.

How Can a Kundalini Blockage be Healed?


If your heart chakra is blocked, begin to open up, send love to those you know and those you don’t know at least every day. You will feel great and your heart chakra will begin to open. Be honest, see the good in your life and whatever you do, throw your heart into it. Be passionate. Share, share, share your feelings, not your opinions. Of course you must feel safe when you open up.

Other Alternative Methods: Yoga, especially kundalini yoga, will specifically help to open your chakras. The exercises are designed to help you operate from your heart.

Tai Chi works with unblocking your energy flow in your body. Qui Jong is an old healing art and very little work will make you sweat and help clear blocked energy. Reiki is gentle, yet useful tool for figuring out which traumas have lingered and are still in your body. Book a Reiki session for yourself before signing up for classes.

Rolfing is a form of deep tissue massage. It’s a rough, yet effective way of locating body-held stress and past emotional issues and of releasing them.

Meditation—How to Send Love: Locate your heart chakra (under the bottom ribs), close your eyes and picture a white light leaving your heart chakra and going to someone else’s. Do this for 5 minutes. Send love to any and everyone you can think of. I used to do this exercise in downtown Edmonton. I would send love to everyone I saw for about 10 minutes. Afterwards, I was so happy that nothing could throw me off for the day.

All of these therapies and exercises are great for helping unblock the heart chakra. Love is the only way to change the situation. The Beatles were right. All you need is love!

Angel Reading

We are here---aah—it is difficult with the energy of an angry person close by. You must send love. You must know that eventually it will become--- you may know long before but it WILL become clear to that person—that negative behaviour with no evidence of love---will become apparent that the common denominator is the angry one, not ALL the others as this one may think.
Do difficult people and situations follow you around? You can give the anger out to your friends and receive it back from a stranger or someone you thought was a good friend, a different friend. Then the reaction will be,”I have done nothing to him/her. Why did he talk to me like that?”
The finger will point at behaviour over and over until the person gets it---until the person says, ”Oh maybe I’m getting it back?” silently or not.
Meanwhile do your best. Be kind, thoughtful and not a doormat. Leave, be unavailable for lash outs and freak outs. Abuse is abuse.
Anger is abusive, when sent again and again. When anger is sent repeatedly, yet the anger sender has a limited social calendar (few contacts for venting such anger), the anger can return through things breaking and constant negative interchanges with others whether instigated by the angry person or not.
Let’s not waste a life, be alive, enjoy, be grateful and laugh whenever possible. Do not allow the anger to short out your energy, manifesting the best is possible.
Just say your truth with love. Some say the truth hurts, it will if there is malice behind it. The ego could be so wrapped up, it needs to feel good at another’s expense. That is unhealthy, yet it happens daily.
Breathing, yoga, qui gong, meditation can all help build confidence and belief in the self. In that way, you can believe in another. The ego becomes balanced rather than in control.
Love, laugh, enjoy, be grateful, life is to be lived with as much joy as possible. Don’t look for the negative, you will see it. Just don’t worry. Concentrate on the positive.
Believe in self and life is great!!!

Thank you angels

Angel Reading

We are here and isn’t love better as it does work well. Kindness and compassion are the way to go. Now be aware of the words you choose to use---some consciously and many unconsciously.
Think and FEEL if the thought is positive or negative, help or hurt. Even something negative can be talked with love and with appropriate words. If you are coming from love, there will be no criticism with the words. You must be calm, maybe even funny, but love is the essential ingredient in conversations (with thought).
Being straightforward is best, just add love and humour; an unbeatable combination.
Sending love, before you go to bed, will send you off to a wonderful sleep and even better dreams.
To send love: the heart chakra (energy center for the heart) is located between the bottom ribs on the chest. Visualize a white pouring from your heart chakra to anyone you wish to send love to. Send the white light to the other person’s heart chakra. Do this for 5 minutes and a feeling of love will flood you.
Waking in the morning becomes easier.
Next, breathing is an essential ingredient in slowing down and bringing yourself to the moment of now. In an emotional or crisis situation, breathe deeply and slowly so that your first instinct to do what you need to do becomes clear.
To breathe deeply: Close your mouth and breathe in through your nose to the count of three. Hold the breath to the count of three, Exhale out your nose to the count of three. Keep your mouth closed for all this breathing. Hold again for the count of three
Do at least ten sets of this breathing. If you have time do 20.
Breathe, breathe, it literally adds years to your life. Funny, it does not seem to be the thing to do with most souls.
Practice sending love and breathing. Both help when you are unsure as to what to do. These exercises will help you do what is best for you, for your heart and your head. The heart really should rule, the head can make it happen. When both are in conflict, go with your heart, the heart is not selfish, only loving. You will get it with practice.
We love all you brave souls.

Mecury Retrograde

Spa Lady

This is what happened to me. My daughter and I signed up during Mercury Retrograde. That was not a good idea and I had misgivings, but did it anyway.
Most of the staff in Spa Lady were friendly, but I ran into one and then two who were not only superficial but arrogant. Those experiences made me not want to go back to the place which by the way is very impersonal and cold. I could not get out of my contract, so Paramount Acceptance withdrew money until May 2009.
In June, I noticed $2.10 was withdrawn. I wondered why. In July, I saw $2.10 again removed from my bank account. Finally, in August, I called Spa Lady which in turn passed me on to Bob Stanwick at Paramount Acceptance. I asked why $2.10 was being removed monthly from my account when my contract was up. Bob said it was in my contract. Why, I asked. Bob said it was to keep my account open so that I could get a good deal when I renew. I told him I was not remotely interested in renewing and that this was one item never mentioned when I signed up. He said in order to cancel I would have to send a letter stating and by the way, my letter would never arrive in time to catch September’s withdrawal. I am not keen at all on bullies and this company was behaving badly.
I went to my bank to put a stop on Paramount Acceptance withdrawing $2.10. It cost me $10.00 to do this. So September there was no $2.10 missing, but guess what the October statement showed $2.10 missing again!
I found the website and emailed Paramount and told them they were like thieves in the night and I want nothing more to do with Spa Lady. Then I received an email and a phone call saying that was not good enough, I needed to fax or send a letter to them.
I sent a fax and will soon receive my November statement. I hope the leeches are gone.
How many thousands of women have had $2.10 removed monthly without them knowing it? This is free money for Spa Lady and they don’t have to do anything for it.
I would be all for it, if this money went to the poor and disenfranchised around the world. They could have my $2.10. However, the thousands and thousands of dollars removed monthly from women who need the money more than Spa Lady seems highly unethical. Spa Lady is another large corporation behaving like a heartless corporation. I have already heard from a few women, who because of their own experiences with Spa Lady are less than thrilled with them.
Why don’t you go check your own bank statements now? How many other companies are doing the same thing?

Angel Reading

We are here and how goes the battle, if it is a battle. It depends how you look at it and how you go about it (life).
Love is the only way to deal with anyone and any situation. Only love can fix things. Being you and sending love can sort the worst out.
So send love, from the heart. Do the visualization with the heart chakra.
Angry people are indeed wounded souls who picture the world against them when really they are against the world. And the cycle continues--- as long as that attitude is held and maintained, those souls draw the worst of the world to themselves. A shift is necessary. Sometimes sending love can help them ( they do need it the most), but it most certainly will always help the sender.
Whatever attitude you have provides the impetus for your experiences. Are people seen as good or bad? If good, the you experience goodness, kindness, compassion etc. Others always give you chances--- nice to receive when you hand out the same kindness and compassion.
On the other hand, if you believe the world is against you then your life can be riddled with negative people and experiences.
VOILA!!!
You do get what you believe, not much fun on the receiving end for anti-world souls.
Do you want to be right or happy? You can be right and happy if you always use love and kindness in your day to day encounters. Maintain a belief in your goodness and you can easily see the goodness in others. Easy, breezy!!!
Negative attitudes isolate the individual. Who wants to be around negativity? It does become tiresome and energy draining.
Love is the only answer. People gravitate towards those individuals who are positive, kind, loving and funny. We must not forget funny. Even if someone is not naturally funny, that person could still develop a sense of humour.
So laugh and love and see what role you are playing. Do you like it? Does it pay big dividends? Does it bring lots of love into your life? Are people happy when you enter the room or when you leave it?
You know the answer. Be grateful for you, for your shelter, talents, friends, family and any and everything. Begin with being grateful.
Laugh and disengage from the anger dance. It takes 2 to tango, It’s very hard to maintain anger when no one joins. Notice how silly the chronically angry person is; the contortions of body and face are silly and quite repulsive, sometimes scary!
So laugh, enjoy life. You will never regret the joy!!
We love you all.

Thank you angels

Gemini Full Moon

The full moon in Gemini affects Gemini and Sagittarius. Prominent planet placements with Gemini can be affected as well. Each full moon does not affect everyone. The average person can be mildly or severely stirred up by about 5 full moons a year. Not all 13. For about a week leading up to the full moon, your intuition kicks in but only about what is wrong. Emotional outbursts are common. Write your feelings down, note what you have ‘picked up’ and deal with it after the full moon. When issues are pushed to the surface, the urge is to argue and confront now. If you do that, you will not handle the confrontation well. That’s why noting and waiting are good strategies.
Gemini rules the arms, easy to burn or bruise your arms now. Gemini is a very scattered sign, going 10 different directions at the same time. Drivers are more erratic. Where is the Gemini in your chart, which house? That is the spot to watch.
I noticed that I would always break up my relationships around Christmas and I would be compelled to end them. The full moon controlled my actions as I reacted. I’m happy that I did finally notice the pattern.

Angel Reading

We are here trying to keep the world as happy as possible. We love everyone and special kudos to those who saw the funny today--- to those who laughed for they changed the energy of others---and others changed the energy of others and so on; a good day for all involved.
Notice how laughter is infectious. Then notice the infectiousness of anger, it passes from one to another rapidly as does a so called infection. But no one feels happy or great or joyful in anger’s presence. It makes a soul wish to strike back and/or run. Run to where – to who –to whomever and usually to pass on the anger infection. Why? It’s the nature of the beast. Pass on, pass on whatever is handed out.
Do you wish to hand out anger or joy? Hostility or laughter? All infectious. Onesprinkles tension to the world or one which allows love and compassion to shine.
Dark or light?
Death or breath?
Make your decision. It’s your choice to pass on anger, either to pass it on or pass on it. Your choice!
Laughter is far more fun. See the funny. See the joy in another. See the good in another.
Take life for the play it is as William Shakespeare said. What is your role? Do you want to do the dance of anger or laughter, joy or happiness? What you give out comes back tenfold. Getting back can be terrific or not.
What will it be?
Laughter, love are the best tenfold, even one fold.
So send love, enjoy, be fearless. What you concentrate on draws itself to you, because you are obsessing. A good obsession will serve you well.
See every encounter as an opportunity to be in the moment. Then it easy to enjoy. Don’t race ahead or look back.
Be here, now!
LOVE IS ALL THERE IS. Some great paths to get there are laughter, acceptance, joy and love.
Pay attention to what you give out. Don’t be surprised when it returns.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE.

Thank you angels

Angel Reading

Sunday, November 29, 2009

I had just picked up my daughter from her weekend trip to Vancouver. She stayed with her cousins and had a great time. Once we arrived home, my daughter commented on a 4 wheeled chair sitting in the backyard. I said I may bring it in the house, for it’s probably a better chair than the one I use at the computer. Cali was not happy and told me she would buy me a chair rather than have me use one left in the yard. She mentioned that we did not know the previous owners and hinted that the chair could carry some something. Anyway, she was not in a positive state over such a simple annoyance and neither was I.
I did an angel reading and this is what came through.

We are here and happy to be here. Humour--- seeing it and finding it in everyday situations is a most positive and exhilarating experience. We see a lot of humour which many miss. Laughter has the next best energy to love. You must laugh, a lot and often. Many will fail to see humour in everyday situations, so mired in their lack of appreciation for the funny. Too many on your plane believe that life is a serious business. That is silly in itself.
Life is meant to be enjoyed, lived, lived and laughed; the only way to get through most times. As you Dad would say, “ if you don’t have a sense of humour in this family, you won’t last.” Very true, some of the relationships did not last partly due to no humour in them. When children are brought up to laugh then when an attraction or relationship has little or no laughing later on in life, it will have little chance of longevity. Any relationship which has little or no laughing becomes a tedious strained relationship in just a short time.
Love, true love, requires humour. Laughing together reduces tension and builds bonds. We (collectively here), love to laugh and those of you who are funny or see humour get our vote and laughter. Sometimes we get to replay very, very humanly funny scenes over and over, the way your son does.*
Laughter is the best medicine. Laughter does lighten the load and laughter does allow other possibilities (in any situation) to be seen. See what is funny, after a while it will not be hard to see. After all the grimness and seriousness of day to day living is easily seen and carried out as a burden by so many. What if every one spent a part of each day looking for what was funny? The world would change over night! There has been enough fear either deliberately manipulated or just a reaction to life. Isn’t it time for a change? Life can be way more fun and lived with more feeling. Look for the funny, that in itself will bring you to the the moment. Being in the moment allows you to make the best choices for your future.

Laugh, laugh, laugh.

Thank you angels

* My son Rigil will replay funny parts of a movie over and over again and laugh uproariously each time. At this point in the meditation, I saw the angels laughing at what another son Armin was saying. He has the humour of Jim Carey and makes us all laugh.

ANGELS

Angels are everywhere. Every child is born with an angelic guide. Angels are allowed to help us but we need to ask, except when we are in danger and it is not time for us to leave. I have seen angels around people, usually to the side or behind them. Anger or depression can block our great instincts and timing, so angels suggest that we should change our energy. One way is to laugh. Watch a funny movie that is a cheerer-upper!

My daughter was in a bad car accident just over a year ago. While I was on the phone getting the details, I heard a voice tell me she was fine. Cali was drinking and would not drive, so she allowed a drunk boyfriend (with no license) to drive her car. He was speeding, lost control, hit a ditch where the car flipped and landed upside down on a tall fence. Cali was found 60 feet from the car, sitting up. She had severe lacerations on the right side of her neck.
When I arrived at the hospital, Cali was in emergency, strapped to a board, her neck encased in a plastic brace. There were cuts on her arms, dirt and blood on her face. She drifted in and out of awareness. I began to reiki her and saw a vision. A huge angel in bronze robes lifted her from her car before it crashed into the fence. The doctor working on getting glass out of her neck, told her she was very lucky, a fraction deeper and she would have bled to death. Every nurse and every doctor told her she was given a second chance and to use it wisely. Every time I visited her in the hospital, someone was telling her how lucky she was. Her face was totally untouched, amazing!
Cali told me that she remembers unbuckling her seat belt just before the car hit the ditch. She said she felt compelled to do it. Her ex-boyfriend had his seat belt on and was found sitting outside the car completely unable to talk, battered, bruised with a broken hip. We saw him a week after the accident and he was on crutches, looking a mess. Cali only sustained the cuts on her neck, no bruising or broken bones. I think that convinced her about the angelic help.

When I do see angels around people, I get pushed into telling strangers that the angels have messages for them. One such day, I was delivering food (worked for a catering company) and every place, I went, truck dealerships, welding shops, newspaper offices, even Shaw cable, I saw angels, angels with messages. At Kentworth, a big truck dealership, I approached a young dark haired woman.
“Hi. I see angels and they have been trying to yell you something.” At this point the twenty something woman stared at me and I had no idea what I was supposed to say. However, the angels helped me out as they always do.
“ You must listen to your heart much more and please don’t discount what another says until it reaches your heart.” The angels said she was very stubborn and needed to listen more and talk less. This I told her along with a few other things. I went about my business and as I was leaving, an older woman came up to me and said she had to stop herself from laughing. She stared at me and said,”You know those angels were so right.”
That helped so the day continued. I encouraged a young man to speak his feelings to his fairly new girlfriend.
At Shaw, and older man opened a door for me and followed me into the lunch room. When we passed through the doorway, I told him I see angels and he nodded. Then I told him not to pay attention to some of the old boys giving him advice. He must treat his staff with kindness and not hard-heartedness. Rules are meant to be broken, people must be treated like human beings, not machinery. This man looked thoughtful, thanked me and slowly walked into the office area.
A woman sitting on her own was eating lunch and I launched into I see angels spiel. I told her that I knew she had a bad week, but she must not stay in that space, she was to go home and rent funny movies. In that way, she would have a better week next week. By the time I finished talking, the young lady was crying. This poor girl was grateful that I even talked to her. When I did see her the following week, she seemed happier.

I have only had one time where the reaction was not positive. It was early in the morning and I was sitting in the back of a very crowded Edmonton transit bus. A young male teenager, was standing in the center of the bus surrounded by other teenagers. I was urged to talk to him. I made my way through the standing passengers until I stood in front of him.
“Excuse me, I need to talk to you,” I said
He looked at me and as I told him that I see angels, his eyes opened wider. When I said I had a message for him, he began to scour the faces around him. I could feel his fear that I was crazy. I kept going, telling him that although he has been very sad and depressed lately, he did not need to stay in that state. I continued saying that the angels would help him, all he had to do was ask. I cannot remember what else I said, for then he really began to look frantic. When the bus finally lurched to a stop, he rushed past me, raced down the stairs and out of the bus. I began to laugh at his reaction and I asked the angels to please give him a hand.

Just listen to your heart, if you feel uneasy about a decision it’s your heart. Is it a good decision coming from love or something else. Something else may not be so good. However, following your heart can sometimes require courage. Anything not coming from a place of love is usually not the best choice. Make the best choice, so that you can look yourself in the mirror. Some rules are not rules of the heart no matter how much they are enforced.

Astrology: Did you know

Aries rules the head and are known to get headaches. Aries are often in a hurry to get where they need to go. Banging their heads is common. Many Aries end up with scars on their heads as a result of not looking where they are going. Aries is a terribly creative sign and are famous for having a million and one ideas. Unfortunately this sign is also famous for being sent to jail. They really must try to use their good ideas! After all this is the pioneer sign. They will go where no one else will.

Did you know that Taurus is the farming sign? The average Taurus is wonderful with plants. Almost all your dying plants can be brought back to life by a Taurus. Taurus rules the throat and many Taurus males often have thick throats giving them a very solid and strong appearance. However, little Tauruses can suffer from tonsillitis and bronchitis.
I met a couple of Tauruses who were married to each other. It was like watching a couple of cows slowly move around in a pasture.

Did you know that Gemini is the salesman sign? Geminis are famous for their clever talk and witty repartee. This is also the artist sign for it rules the arms. My own sister is an artistic Gemini who once broke her arm falling off the doghouse. A Gemini can pretty much talk on any subject, but if someone else knows more about a specific subject, the Gemini will change the subject.

Did you know that Cancer is the family sign? They also love food and a well placed Cancer in a chart can indicate a good cook. I once sat next to a Cancer on a plane who proceeded to tell me all the best places in North America for eating hotdogs, lobster, steaks etc. Then he added, “I’m on a diet now.” Cancer rules the breasts and men with Cancer often stare at a woman’s breasts when they talk to them.

Did you know that Leo is the acting sign? They are famous for being very dramatic. Leo rules the heart and Leos are famous for their generosity and big hearts. Leos love their hair and a trip to the hairdresser can be a traumatic experience, if the cut is not to their liking. If a Leo closes off his heart to love, watch out for a heart attack.

Did you know that Virgos can drive their children crazy? The constant tendency to criticize can be overwhelming. When a Virgo arrives at a new situation they can easily see all the problems. This is the nursing sign. Health is a big concern and many Virgos become vegetarians. Since I lived with a Virgo and I am one I can say this. This ex-Virgo held up a mirror to me which made me say, “ if I act like that, I promise I will not from now on.” So easy to say. Virgo rules the intestines, so constipation can be a problem,

Did you know that Libras believe inequality? A Libra can always see when the scales are not balanced in a relationship. Many Libras lean toward becoming lawyers because the unfairness in the world needs to be rectified. Libra rules the kidneys and liver and those are also the weak spots. However, Libras have a very difficult time expressing their feelings and can be really good at pointing out the problems other people have. This is not a morning sign. Tread softly until noon.

Did you know that Scorpio is the sign of the spy? Scorpios can ferret out secrets from the best of you and yet will reveal nothing personal about themselves. They do have a hard time trusting anyone and can become very cynical with age, not a pretty sight. Scorpio rules the sex glands, reproductive system. Yes, this sign is famous for bed hopping.

Did you know that Sagittarius is the athlete and traveller of the zodiac? Take a look at Australia, a Sagittarius country. Are they not famous for travelling? Sagittarius rules the hips which is where the body holds balance. Sagittarians are known for their sense of humour and can be armchair philosophers, if they haven’t travelled. A lack of tolerance can speed up hip problems.

Did you know that Capricorns aspire to great power? Usually a poor childhood with less than enough love will do that. Capricorn rules the back, knees and teeth. Caps often believe in the status quo and can live to be very old. They love rules and figure everyone should obey without question. Often as they become older they can live the lifestyle of a hermit. If a Capricorn does not learn to bend, then the knees, teeth and back can become a problem.

Did you know that Aquarius is the scientist sign? They have a huge curiosity about the world and enjoy meeting people who have seen and done things they haven’t. They can talk when prodded, but can tune out a crowd of 5, 000 if you have an interesting tale to tell. Aquarius rules the calves. This absent minded sign (and it often is) can easily forget appointments if something or someone more fascinating shows up.

Did you know that Pisces is the dancer sign? Pisces rules the feet and many Pisces often end up with foot issues. This is also the most psychic sign. Did you know that there are a large number of highly placed Pisces who reached those levels because of their trust in their psychic ability? This most compassionate sign must be careful of not becoming martyrs. So many Pisces are often in relationships that are less than happy and develop illnesses for loving attention. The best cure is to dance every day and do what is best for them.

NEGATIVE ACTIONS

NEGATIVE ACTIONS

At the end of 1999, the agency I was working for hired a new director. The old one left to take a lower paying position with social services. No one knew why, but the agency felt (to me) like it was falling apart. The new director was Kay, a cheerful smart woman. Kay began to study everything related to the agency. Since we had become friends and I spent most of my time out of the office, Kay would relate unusual findings. She discovered a large sum of money missing. When Kay made inquiries, the staff told her to mind her own business, when it was her business. The old director still had friends covering her.

Kay became isolated and unsure who to trust, especially when she was told to never close her office door or warned about talking to other staff. Kay told me she had a dream that she went to the office and there snakes everywhere. The dream began to be repeated and Kay knew she needed to clean the snakes out or get out.
One evening at the end of February, my supervisor called me in a panic. Sheila told me to call Kay. A little weasel from the board of directors came to the office, told Kay to take a few days off to rethink and change her approach. Kay was not to find what happened to the missing funds. Also Sheila thought that bad medicine had been used on Kay.
I called Kay and she was very upset, for not only was she unceremoniously forced from her office, but she had red streaks growing from her fingertips to her elbows. Kay had no idea what it meant, but she knew it was not good.
The first thing I told Kay to do was to white light herself and her surroundings. It was late so I promised to come to see her the following evening. We spent a long time talking, most of it reassuring Kay that she would be fine.

Friday morning Kay called me. She was very excited. Kay had spent an hour or more Thursday evening, while lighting herself, her apartment, the building and all of Edmonton. In the morning, the city was covered in hoar frost. All the trees were beautiful in their frosted decorations. The city of Edmonton looked a fairyland. Kay was thrilled that she might be responsible, which was entirely possible. It was the only day that winter which looked like that. Kay also said that the angry red streaks were slowly becoming shorter.
When I showed up Friday night, Kay was in good spirits as I cleaned her apartment spiritually. All negative energy was returned to the sender and it seemed to me that as many as 5 people had been involved with bad medicine and it bad medicine had definitely been used on Kay. By the end of the weekend, Kay had no streaks on her arms.

Kay went back to work, but began to look for work elsewhere. Kay left in August which was the best idea any way. I left at the beginning of December to work for another agency as a family support worker, again. Several years passed until one day I ran into someone from the old agency. Pat began with ‘Did you hear’?
It appeared that everyone I suspected of wishing harm on Kay had lost someone. One woman lost a husband, another brother, one was assaulted even children of the perpetrators had not been exempt. The events which took lives were bizarre, weird.

Everything we do comes back on us, I would rather get along with people than curse them. I would rather hand out love and stay away from negative people.

Haunted

In September of 1985, my three boys and I moved into a house in Edmonton. The day we moved in, I had a lecture to give in Drayton Valley just outside Edmonton. My oldest son, Lance was 17, so I left him in charge. I told him I would not be coming home until the following evening. Lance said it was no problem, so off I went. Tuesday night, I returned home to discover an agitated teenager. Lance told me that there was banging in the house and footsteps in the night. He awoke in the wee hours of Tuesday morning, grabbed a machete in his closet and raced down the stairs to the main floor and then to the basement following the steps. Lance realized that if something or someone was there, he really did not know what he would to do. So he went back to bed and stayed awake listening to all the sounds of the house.
My younger boys would not play in the basement recreation room and when I went downstairs to do laundry, I would race down , throw the laundry in and race back upstairs. There was a very heavy feeling in the house.
Cupboard doors would bang, footsteps continued and sometimes I would hear things being tossed around in the upstairs bathroom. Whenever I checked, there was never anything amiss. I brought in a psychic friend to banish the ghosts. I saw spirits on several occasions, but the noises continued. The house was about fifty years old, so I went downtown to the Edmonton office to check on previous tenants complaining of strange activities in our house. There was nothing.
For some reason, I kept getting the last tenant’s mail. Gloria would come over to pick the mail up, but was perplexed because she had put in a change of address. Eventually, Gloria and I realized that we needed to meet. Her own son refused to be in the house alone when they lived in the black and white house. Gloria had some unsettling experiences, but told no one about them.
One night, I had just begun to fall asleep and I felt a presence in my room. It did not feel good at all, however I could not shake myself awake or open my eyes. Then, I felt something on my face, restricting my breathing. I felt like I was getting smothered. That’s when I called on the angels and God to help me. I was finally able to open my eyes and I saw a bent outline of something at the foot of my bed. To go back to sleep was hard, so I whitelighted myself and asked for protection.
When I told Gloria about this, she admitted that the same thing had happened to her. Gloria’s dog was in the bedroom at the time and began barking and barking until Gloria was able to break the weird hold the presence had on her. Gloria stated that she heard that the houses were built on a grave site years ago.
When my sister Ruth moved in with her son Daniel shortly after this, Ruth said she felt as though there was some sort of vortex in the house. The presence which was fond of smothering was an old lady who had lived in the house years ago and she wanted us out.
We looked for another house. Gloria (who became a great friend), Ruth and I walked through all the choices until we found one which had no unwanted visitors. My children were much more relaxed in the new house. Whew!

Since then I learned how to clear a house. About five years ago, one of my daughters had a friend whose stepdad had a heart attack. Tamara called in a panic and wanted to know if I could help. I did an angel reading for Tamara’s mother. The stepdad showed up wearing a blue jean shirt and talked about how he was blocked with his feelings but how he loved Tamara’s mother. Tamara’s mother was shocked because her husband wore a blue jean shirt a lot. After the funeral, I was invited to the house. There were about ten other people there all waiting to hear something. The stepdad Jim, stood behind Tamara’s mother and spoke. It’s always telepathic with those who leave this earth. It was great to see how love is always what comes through. No one ever says, they should have worked more. The departed (really still very much alive) wish they could have loved more, been more expressive with love and less demanding with petty material things.
Anyway Maria, Tamara’s mother asked that I check the house over. The house was probably built sometime around WWII. So I wandered through the house, inspecting every room. When I came to the basement, there were two carved masks on the recreation room wall. The negative energy oozed from them. One mask was a happy grimace and the other a sad one. These are the type of masks that represent the theatre, tragedy and comedy. However, there was nothing pleasant or happy about these masks. When the masks were made, the creator put bad, bad energy into his creation. Tamara said she hated coming downstairs, she didn’t like the feeling. I told Tamara and her mother Maria to get rid of the masks, burying them would be a good idea. The masks were taken off the wall and the energy changed in the house.

A few years ago, my oldest son Lance flew me to visit him in England. Right out of the airport, we drove to Stonehenge. I saw monks from another age walking around with torches. One monk wore a light coloured robe and hood while the others were all in brown. Stonehenge was not always used for the good of mankind.
Then my son, daughter-in-law and grandchild drove to Woodhenge. I know, I had never heard of it either. There was a large tree stump set in the middle of large elipical circles. Originally there were short tree stumps in these circles. Each circle had larger stumps than the last one. The wood eventually rotted, so the farmer who owned the field replaced each wooden stump with metal ones. I sat on the middle stump and was overcome with grief. I saw people being dragged to the inner stump, Some sort of sentence was pronounced by the individual on the stump. There were beatings and even death. My son, Lance was taking pictures and asked what was wrong as I began to sob. I left Woodhenge behind pretty quickly.
Next, we went to Avebury a few miles away. Avebury is still a small village surrounded by extremely large stones, similar to Stonehenge. The aerial photo resembles a face with eyes, nose and a mouth. Many of the stones have been chipped away and used for building houses and fences, but it is still easy to see and feel the effect of the village surrounded by stones. My impression was that Avebury was built to offset the negative effects of Stonehenge and Woodhenge, a protection for the villagers. Someone was very clever in building the stone circle, for the stones still feel good, have a good energy.

My son’s hobby in England is belonging to a re-enactment group. The group was playing beside a castle, surrounded by an empty moat. There was sword fighting, dancing, archery, juggling and a play along the lines of a country fair a la 13/14th century. We (me too!) slept in pavilion like tents next to the castle and wore the clothes of that medieval period. We could wear no watches, glasses, jewellery or anything modern. Even the food we ate had to be roughly the same, hunks of bread, cheese, fruit etc.

Just before the show began, one of the young maidens from the group and I went into the castle. We climbed long stone steps which ascended to the third floor. The second floor had held the great hall, had long ago collapsed and was cordoned off. Once we reached the third floor, there was a flagstone walk past long windows. At the end of the walk, I could see a woman dresses in a teal green dress, wool, it appeared. She wore a headpiece, fitting the head, but flaring out at the sides. The sides of the hat matched her dress, but the centre of her hat was white. This woman walked back and forth staring out the window. My assumption was that she was worried about her husband who was off fighting. Then I got a really strong sense that she was worried that her husband was off somewhere with other women. My companion and I rushed through the rest of the castle, but on the bottom floor, I saw lots of people busily carrying sacks. These people were mostly men dressed in varying shades of brown. These were ghosts for there actually no living person there other than us.
At the end of all the play battles, I sat with a few young squires (knights in waiting) and mentioned the female spirit I had seen. Mark looked at me and said, ”You are giving me shivers. Do you know the history of the castle?”
I admitted that I didn’t. There were no signs or legends anywhere. Mark proceeded to tell me that King Edward II of England had built the castle in 1100 A.D. Edward had married some Spanish or Portuguese princess. Edward’s wife had basically had Edward tortured and killed for being unfaithful. I could not listen to those details. Anyway, her son imprisoned her in the castle for 30 years for killing his father. I did not see her when she was imprisoned for 30 years, only when she was worried. Spirits often get stuck in traumatic events as did she. I saw and heard a lot of spirits in England.

When I came back to Canada, My living window had a green plastic garbage bag taped to it. There was a huge hole where someone had smashed my window in the middle of the night. My two daughters living at home did not really know who had done this. Since this was now the beginning of September, I needed to get my window fixed. It took almost two months and the weather was getting chilly.
One day in November, I sat with my back to the tv set and heard that a young boy had been stabbed to death at a house party not too far from where I lived. I made a mental note to ask my daughters if they knew him. Within 10 minutes, my youngest daughter came flying down the stairs, crying. As I asked her what was wrong, I could see a young teenager building up a few feet away. My daughter told me that a boy she knew had been killed. I asked if he matched the description I could now see in my family room. Then this young kid told me he was sorry he had broken my living room window. I told my daughter and she blurted out. ‘I always wondered if he did it.” This was not the end of this boy whom I had never met, nor was it the last apology I had received from the departed.
Life is stranger than fiction, but fiction often comes from life.

REINCARNATION

Have you ever found yourself interested in other countries, time periods or languages? Reincarnation is a fact with many countries in the world. That is not to say that those people that know remember lives. Children are the ones who can remember details and as parents we often put it down to a great imagination.
Where do think young genius comes from? It could be a talent developed in a past life and remembered on an unconscious level. Why would I have only one life which has been great, when another may be born crippled or blind or deaf?
When I was married to my first husband Bruce, we both enjoyed historical drams. He enjoyed watching the lives of royalty while I was fascinated with the women working in the taverns. When I began waitressing (while still married), I took to it like a duck to water.
When I cast a chart, I can always see past lives which have much to do with likes, dislikes and personality traits. While attending the University of Calgary in the 80’s, I saw past lives superimposed on every new person I met. That lasted for a year and a half, these images came unbidden. My friends would eagerly wait for my impressions.
One woman, Anita, who was obtaining her B.Ed brought two images when I met her for the first time. There was a man , dressed in nondescript brown clothing who had been stoned for speaking his mind and left for dead. The other was a woman from a harem. I told Anita that the reason she never gave her opinion was the stoning and her love of beautiful clothing and style came from the harem life. When Anita had her chart done, I gave her more details.
A client in the group homes I worked in was very loud and talked about writing a book about the west. I saw him as a gunslinger who pretty much took care of anyone without much thought about it. In this life, his father was long gone and his mother had very tenuous ties to him. I did see that he was responsible for her death in the gunslinger life. Unconsciously, David’s mother had been very hard on him as a child and had beaten him saying she could not deal with him.
Another client Emma was autistic and non-verbal. Whenever Emma was upset ( very easy for her), she would bite her own arms so that her arms were always red and rashy looking. Emma’s mother left Edmonton, so Emma very rarely saw her Mom. I saw Emma (in a past life) as a member of a royal family, a spoiled member. In that life, Emma would beat and hit anyone who came within striking distance, if she was displeased. Now she was hampered by her own reflexes and beating herself.
Everything comes back on us and I, for one, want it to be the good stuff.
Whatever I hand out gets returned, tenfold. Do I want to be constantly angry or consistently happy? Blaming outside influences will get me nowhere, so I choose not to do the angry dance.

Illnesses can often appear as a result of past lives or negative attitudes such as guilt, anger or shame. Boy oh boy we can all carry a lot of those. Send love to everyone you like and dislike. Don’t carry the negativity with you. It will weigh you down and make you sick.

Judgements are for the birds, they can cause you to temporarily feel better when you assume the judgement position, but eventually you will be judging more and more and tolerating less and less. We need to cut each other some slack since we can’t walk a mile in each other’s shoes in this life. If I have a hard time liking anyone who is Asian, brown, black, gay, Moslem, Hindu, Indian, fat etc., guess what? You will be exactly what you can’t stand in another life. Watch your words and your thoughts. Love is all there is, for a great life.

Did you know?

Onions are great for colds. About 13 years ago, I had such a bad cold, coughing so often and so hard that I had to run to the bathroom each time. My sister Ruth, the Herbalist, told me what to do. Boil an inch or two of water in a pot. Turn off the water and add a thinly sliced onion. Let it sit until the onion is cool enough (yet still hot) to put on the chest just under your chin . Wrap a towel around yourself and sit for an hour to an hour and a half. Your coughing will subside quite a bit. This was a huge help. You can even drink the onion juice from the pot to boost your immune system even more. Doing this several days in a row will be a help.

Garlic is a staple in my house. When any of my children began to show signs of getting sick, we would peel a clove at least for each person and give each child a piece of bread.
Then we put a dollop of sour cream on a plate, my children would dip the bread in sour cream and take a small bite of garlic until the garlic and bread were all finished. This aids the immune system in fighting the cold. It worked for us.

Mango's are great for skin/complexion.

Pineapple have natural enzimes for digestive system.

Goose fat- save fat from cooking goose, and rub on body. Great for people that have had radiation treatment. It protects the body from losing nutrients.

Sending Love

It was 1999 and I was a family support worker. I had the strongest urge to see one of my clients although I had not made any appointment to see Joan. Pulling over to the side of the road, I called Joan and said I felt like I had to see her. Joan said her sister was there at her house. They were going to go shopping. I kept talking and drove to Joan’s house. There was no car, so still on the phone, I walked up to the door and rang the bell. On the other end, Joan said, ”One minute, someone is at the door.”
When Joan opened the door, she laughed and asked, “How did you know?”
Joan had been drinking, not a good idea.
When I walked in, I could feel someone else in the house. I asked Joan,” Who else is here?”
“No one, the children are at school.”
I hesitated and walked down the hall and pushed open the first bedroom door I came to.
There on the bed was Joan’s older sister, drunk. Now this one did not have a car for shopping. I told Alice that she would have to leave. Joan was not allowed to drink and could lose her children if she did.
Alice rose unsteadily to her feet. She was close to 300 pounds and around 6 feet tall.
I watched her as I went back down the hall, turning to keep an eye on her. As Alice and I passed the washroom, Joan stood in the washroom door combing her hair. Alice leapt at her sister, knocking all 120 pounds of Joan to the floor. As Alice was pummelling Joan, I somehow managed to pull Alice off Joan.
Toe to toe, I stared up at Alice, growling, “ You have to leave!”
Alice’s eyes changed in those seconds. They became demon-like. Startled, I realized that aggression was not the way to deal with anything. Quickly, I white lighted myself and sent Alice love. Alice’s eyes drooped and very quietly I said,” You must go now.”
Alice turned, walked down the steps to the front door, opened the door and left.
I was stunned, sending love was the best I could have done. I never saw Alice again and I became adamant about sending love with every difficult situation I found myself in.

Did you know?

Did you know that a headache is usually a sign of dehydration? So drink up. Add about 4 glasses of water right away.

The composition in diet drinks can stimulate your appetite for up to 90 minutes.

Many Asians and Mexicans believe that a daily pinch of cayenne (in food) can slow aging and help mental alertness.

One of the best foods to have on hand is yogurt. It stops diarrhea. Yogurt with the fat still intact will wrap itself around the bad fat in your body and flush it from your system. Yogurt with fat is a much healthier choice.

Tumeric is a terrific spice to have in your cupboard. It is good for women’s problems and will aid the liver in getting rid of toxins. Just sprinkle it in food to be cooked.

Watermelon is recognized to aid with edema, excess water that pregnant women often accumulate. However, it’s best if you eat pieces of it all day.

In the book ‘Linda Goodman’s Star signs”, it is suggested that eating red fruits and vegetables (preferably raw) will speed up the metabolism.

Speaking of red fruit, the seeds in the pomegranate are a must to eat. Pomegranates help keep the prostate healthy and the arteries clean. Good for the heart!

The body can break down butter much easier than it can margarine. Natural foods are much easier on the arteries. Ever try melting margarine, the plastic smell should remind you that it may not be good for you.

Save your dryer lint. It’s a great way to start a camp fire. I know some crazy stories of men using gasoline. Dryer lint is the way to go.

Love is all there is. The Beatles had it right. Want to put yourself in a great mood? Try this exercise. Locate your heart chakra. It is situated where the ribs join at the front of your body. Picture a white light pouring out to the heart chakra of another person. Do this for 5 minutes. Send love to everyone you can think of. I used to stand downtown Edmonton and send love to everyone I saw. No one could get the grin off my face for the rest of the day. I make much better decisions when I am in a great ‘heart’ mood.

Laughter runs a close second to love. Watch funny movies when the day or even the week has been tough. Laughter will boost your immune system.

It’s very difficult to get sick when you’re in love. The immune system is so strong with love. If you’re not in love, try the love exercise.

LOVE AND THE LIGHT

LOVE AND THE LIGHT

A friend of mine called me today and we discussed her situation at work. A co-worker, Tilly, is quite hostile and several people have quit. My friend Alicia is a psychic and can feel the negative energy and tension. Tilly’s sister works there as well and behaves the same way. Tilly’s mother-in-law is in the same building and ditto for the old gal too.
Alicia feels they (those three delightful women) are using some sort of black witchcraft.

Bad medicine, satanic rituals, black witchcraft are all negative ways of controlling some one. Negatives thoughts we send out when we are annoyed or even angry with someone affect our victims and will eventually return to us tenfold. When the negative energy is compounded with more than one person focusing on an individual, the effects can be difficult even devastating.

A few years ago, I had a very psychic acquaintance who was a Scorpio. Jon was tall and, almost skeletal in appearance. He always wore black, had black hair and eyes and a short pointed black beard. Jon walked with a cane. If someone said or did something he didn’t like, he would smack him with a cane, especially his four year old son. Jon’s son did not talk, little Al would grunt and point, but Mom or Dad would race to get what Al wanted.
I told Jon to leave his son alone and encourage Al to talk. We had quite a few discussions. Jon never did that in front of me again, but there were other problems. Jon’s wife dressed in black, was very overweight and always seemed depressed. She was a Scorpio too. She mentioned that she was into magic. I cringed when she said that because she was terribly depressed and that was not a good sign. I asked what kind of magic she was into. Sara looked at Jon and Jon answered, in fact, it was hard to get a word in with Jon holding court. Jon raced his words around not really answering. When I directly asked Sara if she was using black magic, Sara looked down and shrugged.
“Is this stuff working? Look at you, you seem so sad all the time. Yah, yah, the bad stuff is really working for you isn’t it? You should know better. You give out good, you get it back. You give out bad, you get it back.”
Jon stepped in and offered some feeble answer and asked a favour of me which I remember requesting me to lie. I gathered my things and told them I had to go.
I decided to limit my contact with those two Scorpios, they were operating and making the most of their power negatively. Within two weeks, I heard from friends that Jon misses me and wants to talk to me. I felt drained after several meetings with Jon, so I knew his negative energy was not a good sign. I did not call. Then my inamorata, Randy, asked why I wasn’t talking to Jon. Randy thought Jon had a screw loose, so this was unusual. I explained to Randy that Jon was using the black magic and that Jon was really giving me the creeps. A few days later, Jon called when I was out and Randy again, asked why I wasn’t talking to Jon. Randy, who didn’t even like the guy, was pushing me to call. This kept on for a few weeks, until I realized that the two delightful Scorpios had been using something on me. So I refused all the negative energy sent to my home and the calls stopped. A few weeks later, Randy ran into Jon who had just been released from the hospital. Jon had tried to kill himself, I never thought of him as suicidal. When I returned the energy, it automatically returned to the sender.
I have had bad medicine sent to me during a later period and when I returned the negative energies, I sent love to the sender, so that I would not have a hate connection with the person involved.
I have been to court with clients and have seen miraculous results from getting my clients to send love to the judge, other people etc.

So Alicia decided to white light herself at work and to constantly send love. I told her that sending love to the perpetrators would free her. She will feel no tension at all and be able to deal with everyone in the best way possible. However, the co-workers and mother-in-law will probably have a meltdown, likely in front of other people. Love is the only solution to the dark.

Spiritual Meanings and Language of Herbs and Flowers

We are so very fortunate to be able to have gardens during the growing season and to enjoy the harvest of the many varieties of herbs and flowers to use throughout the year.

There are spiritual meanings and love attached to most herbs and flowers. Messages are sent in bouquets, dried herb combinations, and in a single sprig given with good intention.

The "Tussie-Mussies" is an example of a flower message. Originally called "talking bouquets" and "word posies," Tussie-Mussies are sweet smelling and symbolic flower arrangements that Victorians exchanged in lieu of written greetings. There were actual dictionaries written to decipher the bouquet's meaning. Of course, they were originally developed for women to hold to their noses to banish unpleasant odors, but, as wonderful aside, they were also used to send a romantic or spiritual message or a reminder that they are card for. Depending on which herbs and flowers are used in the little bouquet, it can say anything from " I am thinking kind thoughts of you" to "Meet me behind the barn at midnight." Today, they are still crafted around the world and gifted to men and women alike.

There are too many message plants to list in this article, bu the following are some that you can perhaps gift to friends and family for ritual, healing, or culinary use.
