My question is concerning my situation here in France I haven’t been able to find work and it is going to be one year now I have moved here .I feel pretty depress conceding my situation .I have no clue or ideal what I should be doing as work here in France? I am very confused in which direction should I take career-wise. I need some help some guidance please.  I know I do not want anymore to take care of sick people like I used to, meaning people with mental health and addictions. Is it possible please to help me to figure it out because my health has been affect physically and mentally? I know I am feeling depressed by not being able to find work here and it’s starting to affect my marriage as well. It makes me feel sad to wake up in the morning and not have idea what should I do with my day. I guess I am feeling lost and stuck.

The guide responds:

Oh my blessed, blessed wonderful little worry wart. When you wake in the morning begin by just being glad you are awake and able to do what you want to do. Choose to be positive, even if you’re not perhaps feeling that strong. Before you even put your feet on the floor, stretch the full length of your body; take deep breaths. And then have a little rub all over: feet, legs, knees, tummy, your back, your shoulders, and your arms. Shake your hands, touch your face, and be present in all of the wonder of being in a beautiful little body.

Now, I’m not surprised that you do not want to nurture and care for and give energy to others right now. Right now is the time for just some happy, light work. You love jewelry; you love all sorts of decorative things. Choose one of these places and go in to see if there is an opening for work. Or maybe you could help at a stall just to see how the job is done. Offer yourself up as voluntary help for certain people just to see how it is run. And after you find yourself befriending and being part of it you will find an opportunity for work.

You obsess about things my dear, because you’ve never felt too sure that life will hold you up. But surprise—it is holding you up. You are well. You will be happy. Trust in this, my dear. Trust in the gift of your life to you. Look at how amazing it has been. See all these wonderful things that you have learned, not as negatives but as wonderful opportunities. And you grew, and you chose, and you are much wiser. And a higher vibration now than ever before. And you know that your body is telling you: enough heavy work, let’s find some light. Choose anything. It doesn’t have to cure the world. It has to cure you.

Bless you my child.

 

 

See your life as an opportunity to create that that you desire

Curious one writes:

Dear Guides, Why am I struggling with everything at the moment (finances, weight, work, family, feeling positive & getting through each day)?  I cannot see the ‘light at the end of the tunnel’ and I don’t know how to improve things in my life.  I find it so hard to hide my misery, and feel guilty for affecting those around me.  I am so tired of things being difficult and I’m desperate for joyful experiences. I can’t remember the last time I felt happiness that wasn’t fleeting! I would love to take my son on holiday, but I’m constantly juggling to meet commitments, which feels like a losing battle.  I cannot even afford to look for love.

I have been told I won’t be financial stable until I settle down and that it won’t be in the near future.  If this is true then I am trying to achieve the impossible. Please help me…. Where is he? I cannot even sense my guides for comfort.  With Many thanks.

The guide’s response

Blessed, blessed child, you have asked the universe, your blessed beings that surround you—but you have not asked yourself. You have opportunities to make choices in every instant of your path. And you are choosing “unhappy” instead of “happy”. There are resolutions for each of these things. But the most important thing for you to do is to examine how you feel about you.  You have adopted theories and understandings and tried to wear them like shoes that are too tight, only causing more weight upon your being.

Oh blessed one, eat what makes you happy. And that does not mean foods that are bad for your being, but foods that bring happiness and well being to you. Good fresh vegetables, good clean waters. Celebrate with good celebration food, not food that no longer even resembles something you would eat.

As for the financial burdens, the truth is, my dear, you do make the money but you have not learned how to deal with it properly. You know this. You get tired and instead of doing what would be more financially stable, you do something that in many ways is not good for you.

Are you a miserable sort to be with? No. But you believe you are. You believe that no one will love you. I see a beautiful being that loves to laugh, that loves to celebrate life. But you choose to recoil from life. That’s right, my dear, you’re choosing this.

Just for a while I want you to stop all manner of thinking and understand that in all things there is a choice involved. But I want you to first put your happiness right at the forefront of that choice.

You believe that meeting a lovely man and bringing that into you life that he will instantly make you happy?  Oh perhaps for an instant, but until you start choosing for yourself the burdens will still be there, my dear. And I want to tell you that all the things you wish for are there are your fingertips, but through the means of a choice can be yours.  If you think this is impossible, take just one day. In each second where there is an opportunity to make a choice—and that starts with getting out of bed or not. And see how your choices can affect a day.

Then take another day and don’t make any choices for your self but just be the one doing other people’s bidding. And see how happy you are.

Start to see your life as an opportunity to mould and create that that you desire, my dear. You are not a victim of circumstances. You are a creation. The light that is you, that beautiful spark, that soul energy, created your body and creates the path that serves to teach you. Choose happiness, my dear. Bring all those things at your fingertips into your life.

This is not beyond your understanding. You know this. You just want to have it made easy. Making choices for yourself is perhaps the hardest thing to learn about dwelling in your physical dimension. Drawing in the love for you, that’s when you choose for you. There is love for you my dear. Choose it.

Growth, continuous and never ending

apple branch

Greetings.  Lift up. Lighten your hearts.  Live in trust.

What is the purpose of all of this evolving?

To evolve is a natural order. It is as natural as growing.  You cannot arrest this growth.  And you have come to a time when it is your spirits that are growing.  Not to say your spirits have not been growing in the past, but they have been doing growth through the physical.  And now is the time for it to grow to expand on its own with the aid of your physical being.  Lessons can be used through the physical or the spirit.  Oh, these words.  I shall give you an example.

Think of yourself as an apple.  Through your many lifetimes this apple that you are has been concentrating on its flesh, its skin, its color, its sweetness or tartness and the lessons learned from the other apples around it.  Now you have evolved to a time when it is not just your apple, but your branch, and your leaves, your tree, your roots, the air and the water that feeds you.  Do you understand?

Is everyone in the world at this place of awareness?

No, not everyone.  There are many apples left that are just concerned about the barrel of apples.  But now you have opened yourself to a wider scene and have become aware that there is more than just you and a core.  There is a cycle that evolves but it is not totally clear even for all of us, the whole, the infiniteness of that which you call God, that which we call Mother energy.  It is neither created nor is it destroyed.  It has no beginning, nor no end.  There is a symbol we use, a circle within a circle, within a circle, continuous and never ending.

You evolve from this plane.  I shall explain.  You come as a piece of Mother energy, a very small and very erratic piece to be quite honest.  And in this physical being that you are given as a gift.  Yes, it is a gift your physical body.  And the other gift is free will.  And this lovely energy that is set within this being thus begins to grow.    And with each lesson that the physical being encounters the vibration quickens or heightens.  And over many years and lifetimes and experiences eventually the vibration becomes too intense to dwell within your being. To dwell within a physical being on a physical plane, thus you evolve to that which we are.  And that is by no means the end.  For we evolve through the aid of you to higher realms, each evolving causing a greater vibration. And there will be other spheres you will visit.  It is amazing.

By simply allowing us to guide you it is as if, yes, teacher and student, but we do not teach we simply aid.

 

You must step into the flow of life to learn it

Surge

A conversation between Joanna and a guide in 1999

There are many new souls on your path right now.  There is an imbalance because there is not enough middle ground.  Do not worry because you will not go spinning off.  Many of the middle aged entities moved on to other realms.

Were they killed in wars maybe?

Yes, my dear.  The middle aged beings are often the ones doing the writing.  They are often the greatest politicians.  It is not good to be a leader of a country if you are a brand new soul.  And you are not a very effective one if you are an ancient one.  Oh, it is a magnificent tension.  I know you are weary of it sometimes but it truly is a magnificent place to learn.

Not all of the words of another will be the total truth for all.  Each person must actively search to find it for themselves.  They must take from here and there the parts that will make their quilt perfect.  Each person must be active in their participation of their quilt.  That it will not be presented to them that having a guide is not one who bestows but one who works with.  It is an act of communication very, very deep in the trust and the love of the beings.  And in time, it matures into a wonderful relationship, constant, a knowing.  Each person must be willing.  It is not placed upon you, but you choose. That in truth, there are no victims.  Even when one is in a position of being victimized there has been a choice that you have asked to learn.  It is a far leap of faith that this must take, but it is truth.

That even in the most negative there is great learning and that a being is always stronger.  Yes, always with time you will have this understanding, but it is always true.  Also, there must not be complacency.  This is not the same thing as taking time to breathe.  Complacency is sitting back.  It is watching instead of being. It is examining and hoping that in some way you can learn.  You must step into that flow of life to learn it.   You must be it, to learn it.   What does one learn by watching?  One remembers.  It is simply a key to the past of you.  You know very well there is a limited amount of time you can stay in that place or you will leave that realm to continue again.

 

Shine and smile and greet each being eye-to-eye, heart-to-heart

IMG_9053Elizabeth writes:

I have no idea how to find people to talk to. Where on earth do I find these people? And where on earth is he? Have we met?  I find this all so difficult.  

The guide’s response:

Yes, my dear.  It is difficult when one labors over it as you do, my blessed one.  It is with light and love that you seek the same.  Be that that you want to meet.  Be the lover, the being full of light and joy. For light attracts light in your world.  Be that radiant light.  Shine and smile and greet each being eye to eye, heart to heart.  You may think you live in a world where it is difficult to find like minded beings, but know that there are many.

Allow yourself to be drawn to a place and occasion, a night of talking of similar things.  Be brave and allow yourself to converse with others.  Ask if they meet regularly, if there is a place to be one with all of them. There are many spiritual groups, many healing groups, many healing circles that have similar understanding to yours.

You are not bizarre or weird in any way.  And, in fact, there are many that hold still this part of their belief in quiet, in fear of being judged. But if you go through an opening to a place where they gather you will find a way to bring yourself to this light, to others, that will share your understanding.

Do not expect the love of your life to be the same as your, for if you were too similar you would clash in many ways. The being that you have a promise with and are yet to meet will actually make you giggle when you think about how different you truly are.  Proceed with friendships with others by seeking it out and by being the light that you, are and you will find it.  It should be a joyous path, not one of difficulty, my dear.

I can’t believe difficulty lies within your conscious mind. You feel you are lonely but in fact, there are many that would love to share time with you.   Make a shift in how you think – be open instead of closed.   Bless you my child for there are  many that would love to sit in your light.

Being with a partner who is depressed

 

imgresMy partner is experiencing a depression and sometimes I lose patience with him and I feel that’s not being very helpful.

Would it be helpful to live with someone who is without feelings? Would it be helpful to live with one who is so stoic and perfect? No, that’s unrealistic isn’t it? You must be who you are. And in that there are many different degrees of being human — anger, frustration, these are often the basis of love. Do not worry or question these feelings. You are not destructive. There is nothing within you that destroys. Your feelings are feelings of survival, of free will. It is this that you wish to stir in the one you love. 

You wish to stir his basic need of being and you are responding in all the natural, physical forms. You have not come to this physical plane to be angelic. Although you always radiate love. You are allowed all the emotions  – fear, anger, happiness. Understand that you are often mirroring and this is what he needs.

Sometimes I feel I am being sucked down into that black hole and have to struggle to get out.

Yes, and it is in these times that you must think of your free will, your own survival instinct. This “black hole” does not exist. It is simply a vibration you sense of hopelessness.  This is a part of his existence that he must love. It is a time for him to experience the feeling of not being in control, to feel like a child, to see the weakness of the human existence and find strength in it.

Don’t ever be afraid to show your anger.  He needs to learn that anger doesn’t have to be directed inward, or at any being, but can just be. There are many things within him that are waiting to be discovered.  He feels a need to look well in the eyes of others.  He is a kind and gentle being that has much within him that needs to be let out; temper and tears and anger that he has never expressed. To a father that was never there, to a mother that worried about small things that had little to do with his life. He could never speak of his feelings. Though I am not condemning them. Know that he has every ability to come through this time. He will come through stronger and it will not be a mask; it will be real.

 

You need not fit to the words and needs of others — but be that that you are

imgres

One calling himself “Always love” writes to say he is in a difficult and painful place and his mind is tormenting him with so many things.  He feels lost and is struggling. Do you have any words to help him understand?

Dearest dearest one, every being in your physical world is different, is unique and precious. It would not be possible for all to do and be the same, for the growth of the promises for each are separate and individual.You are a bright, shining one. You need not fit to the words and needs of others, but be that that you are. You are full of life even though you feel you are fearful, nervous, high-strung.  They say they never know what to expect from you, because you are always having a different thought or need or vision of what to be.

It would be very good for you to write. Write your rhymes, your songs, your thoughts, your beautiful pictures down. It gives you direction and helps you to channel this information through you. When a high spirit such as yourself is present in the world, often the growth and learning is not for you, but many will have promises or tasks of learning with you.  It does not mean that you must change who you be to fit their needs. You must walk and be tall within your own being.

If you keep going backwards and looking to that that was instead of going forward you will limit yourself, your growth. You are not the same being you were yesterday—or even this morning. You are different by the time the sun sets.

Growth is the vibration of your soul; it vibrates at a rate that is the sum of all your learning. Do not concentrate just on the vibration but on that that feeds it—the magic in your world that you see and touch each day. Know that you have heightened vibration, so there are things and places that will fit you better than others. It is only the wise ones who know this about themselves.

You are not lost, my dear. You’re just trying to fit into something you were, instead of who you be now. Embrace your wonder; embrace your confusion from time to time. For it is only when you are not sure that you do something you can be sure about.

The good and bad in life are all there to teach you. Fear nothing, but know and trust that you shall continue on your path.

You, my blessed one have lived many, many lifetimes. So there are many keys in your world that will remind you of past understandings. And you may even have thoughts and visions of that that was. But if you become obsessed about those things you will not do what you came to do in this life. Just know that the veil between lifetimes for you is quite thin. Or shall I say that you can see through it from time to time.

Remember that these visions, these thoughts, these memories are done. They are complete. You need not try to walk in them anymore.

You bring forward all you need to in this life. And you are a beautiful being, a very creative one. There are many that you can help by talking about how you feel and how you be–the world from your corner of the world, so to speak.

You have a purpose my dear. It may not be clear to you yet, but it is coming clearer and clearer. Bless you my child. And embrace that wonderful life you have, for it is filled with love.

She can offer many things but he must be the one to choose

 Mike writes:

My mother asked me to submit a question about my dad.He has been struggling with intermittent shortness of breath the past few weeks- and he generally seems to be deteriorating a bit as a result. He is in the process of undergoing tests for both heart and lung functions but has not been too receptive to going to EMERG when having difficulties. Do the guides have any sense of what is going on and how to best help him?

The guide’s response:

The entities or guides that surround this one know very well what he is doing. He is stubborn, he is fearful. He wants for there not to be any fuss about him.  There is some congestion, some failure of the heart muscle, some fluid in the lungs causing some exhaustion. It’s important to eat a beautiful healthy diet with very little meat but a lot of vegetable and broth.

Ubiquinol is a very good thing; it strengthens the mitochondria, the very cells of the heart muscle. It is a substance that is very good at developing amino acids in the body. It’s something he can surely find. Your world calls it Q-10. It’s one and the same.

He needs to get exercise but not to worry too much about it. He needs to move and be happy. And if he chooses not to have too many tests, then so be it.  He is the one that knows what his body is doing. He is the one who will choose—its strength and its weakness.

It is hard for her to understand this for she has been very much taking care of this one for a long time. And her fear is not helping anything. Tell her to trust that he knows what is right for himself—and that he has a choice.

She can offer many things but he must be the one to choose it out of free will. That’s the only way it will actually help him. If he chooses out of worry for her or for others, it might help them, but not him. And tell her just simply to be. For she is a very wondrous being.

Viruses and growth in the physical world

 

imgres

We were talking about viruses earlier and we were wondering if they’re getting stronger, if they are starting to take control. We had a theory that they might be from outer space. Can you talk about that?

You are from outer space. You are in outer space. You are all of space and in the midst of it.   (laughter)

You want to know if they were meant to be or if they were an accident.  Did they just happen upon this plane?  There had to be an element of chance in your world:  thus viruses.  They do not respond to the methods of this world. They are not of the same cell structure of this world. They are not circles within circles (as I heard you speaking about).

What do they do? They create growth; believe it or not. They cause destruction of some things and the birth of other things. And there will be a time when you will super-power them and use them. There are so many things at the very fingertips of growth now in your world.

As you know, you are at the edge, the precipice of great growth.  And you are all afraid it’s going to be lost in the abyss by these new souls who are plundering their way through, and not taking anything seriously and missing, and not reading and not taking advantage of….   Don’t be so sure. They have their own path. And hopefully if everything goes well in the passing of the next, oh, about fifteen years… quite well.

Your medical system is going to do a complete circle. It is going to go back to its beginnings but it is going to bring with it a new approach. You’re going to use powerful different ways to cure different things. So of course you’re going to have something new to come up with, to challenge.  It’s like, oh how can I explain this? Like the head is too big for the body so the little disease was created to cure, then “whump”…it’s going to fall over and crash because this disease is cured. So now what do we do? You’re going to have to come up with something else.

There always will be something.

Yes, circles within circles. Back again you’ll come. But this time you’ll be a little different, you’ll be a little wiser.  Just like you in your lifetimes. Each time you come through you’re a little bit different, a little bit wiser. In some areas maybe a little bit dumber. But most of the time pretty good.

Yes, maybe some of us have to go around a few times.

Yes, you have to go around that merry-go-round a few times. A few times just to take in the view, a few times just for a good laugh. And then you get serious about it and you think: Ah, I don’t want to be on this merry-go-round every time so let’s do some work. You wise up eventually. Yes. I think it is most magnificent. Most magnificent.

Why pain exists and what it shows us

Helen-Frankenthaler_2

G:  Please help me. My head has been hurting for the past few days and it really hurts. I took the usual remedy for it, but this time it does not work. The pain radiates down my neck and to my shoulder blades. I even do that acupressure you suggested. That does help, but I want to stop this pain all together. I am thinking that if I start back exercising and going to the sauna that will help get the heavy metals out faster and help relieve the pain.

This pain is even making it difficult for me to accept the cat presence, and also avoid thinking that I may be going insane. I do not want to push the cat away from me and I don’t want this pain to have a negative effect on me. What should I do? Please help! Are my pets Mama (cat), Bingo, and Gypsy okay? Thank you.

Guide:  Yes, your cats are well, as well as can be expected.

I want you to take some moments, blessed one, to understand what you are doing in the physical world.  You are using the tools of this world, your body, your emotions, your senses, to grow, to move through a life or a path, whatever you wish to call it, of learning and growing.

Everything is connected, even if it feels if it is not being connected. And putting it all together and saying this is who you are, is your job.

If you understand that your body is this amazing tool, a place that holds your energy, your spirit that you grow and live through, then let us talk about why pain exists.

Pain is to bring the attention to you, to show you that something is at hand, something that needs to be learned, something that needs to be heard.

Pain in which part of the body; the head, the mind. What is the head and the mind used for?  Thinking, understanding, putting things in process, making choices with the combination of the heart.  So, the head is connected to the heart by muscles and sinew.

When a communion between the heart and the head becomes constricted and difficult and unknown to you, or perhaps as too much energy or misunderstanding in it, the nerves which from the spine connect the heart to your mind, convey a tightness and a tension.  This is then conveyed to the muscles that constrict and get tighter and tighter moving up to the head, pulling down on it, constricting the blood vessels, constricting the abilities for blood to flow freely and easily through the body, and thus the result is pain.

Now, this is pain because there is a difficulty between the heart and the head.  You are not hearing and seeing things you are happy with.  You feel alone and separate.

The best way to help this pain is by your asking yourself, why?  Why do I feel this way?

Construct a conversation from your spirit to your body, this amazing tool.  Ask your body, your head, your mind, your heart what it is about and then listen.  Listen quietly to the answers.

You may not develop this conversation quickly, but if you practice this over time you will be able to get your answers from your spirit to you.

There are instances too when viruses can interfere in this.  That only occurs usually when the immune system is down and then that is still affected by the heart and mind connection.  There are instances when the body needs more fluid, but then again you are not hearing the needs of the body.

Listen to this amazing thing that carries your spirit.  It is miraculous.  There is nothing created in your physical world that matches its magnificence–and you made it.  You made every cell of this body.  You.  Yes, you, this spirit I speak to.   Your immortal hands made this body so that you might listen in this world and learn and grow from it.

You are not going crazy.  That would be choosing to not hear anything.  It would be choosing a place of non-growth and that is not you.  You want growth.  You are afraid of missing a step.

You are afraid that you’ve already missed a few steps that you are not conscious of.  But you can retrieve those if you wish.  It must be your choosing.

It would be wrong for any being such as myself to place information on you that you are not ready for.  It would interfere with the growth of your being and that would interfere with my growth.

Bless you my child.
