I know I have grown over the past several years – I trust my instincts more and trust in the universe more, and I am happier than I have been in a long time. However, in response to a question I asked several months ago, you said that I keep some things hidden and protected, and that I need to understand what I fear – what knowing about myself could be fearful.

I have thought about this a great deal and still do not understand. I would like to continue on my spiritual journey of self-discovery of but I feel stuck. Can you offer any words of advice or wisdom to help me continue to grow?

The guide’s response:

Dearest one, it is not that you fear knowing about some part of you.  It is that a long time ago something occurred that made you fear so much that you have truly blocked it from your understanding, your conscious understanding.  It lies deep within the vibrational state of who you be, an ancient fear (from this life, not another).

To revisit it, to try to remember things, or perhaps in times of fear to ask yourself quickly: What am I afraid of?  What is presented here that brings some unknown un-vocalized fear within me?  This manifests in many different ways.  You are limiting that that you can and will be by not knowing about some part of you.  It holds you back from that that you be.

It is the same, my dearest one, as when some trauma occurs, and a scar forms over the trauma, so until the whole being becomes freed up with the scar tissue, it will not be whole.  It is not that you fear it with the conscious mind; it is the child mind within you that has the fear and holds you back.

I cannot give you the actual action for that would take from your growth and it would truly traumatize you in other ways.  So don’t feel that it is one thing or another.  Allow it to slowly move forward in your awareness that there is something you learned as a small child, some condition, that now holds you back from being what you truly are.  Bless you, you do radiate beautiful light.

This morning I dreamed that I was being raped. I do feel wronged by what has happened to me with the Occupy group. I did what I did because I felt so attacked, disrespected, abused, bullied, misunderstood, and conspired against. I know I made some mistakes, but I know that I do not deserve this. I wish I had been stronger to not let the negativity, the emails and the postings, get to me in that way. Is this what my upcoming move is related to? Is my reputation now ruined in this place, and I will need to move? You know my heart and my intentions with why I got involved. What is my best course of action going forward? I feel so hurt and as a result I wanted to make them have to basically start over. What is the best way that I can still contribute to the Occupy movement, not necessarily locally, going forward? I want to be able to cry to allow my feelings to flow. I may not know exactly what to ask, but I hope you are able to tell me what I need to know, and I hope I have the strength to heed it.

The guide’s response:

You have done an amazing amount of growth, little one.  You have opened yourself to spirit wisdom.  There is still an old, old condition that is not truly believing in all of who you are that feels guilty that you have not suffered, or been in certain conditions.  And so, when you instantly hear one negative word, take it to heart    instead of realizing you have grown beyond anyone else’s opinion of you.  For those are just opinions fed without thought or understanding of who you are and what you wish to be.  Your world seems small and tight to you and you do need to see more of it. You need to step outside of this small, rigid thinking to other places.   But you fear that these old conditions tell you that there is so much to fear in your world and so you instantly think of a negative thought as being something that can harm you and take you away from that that you be.  It is not true.

They cannot harm you unless you make yourself sick by the thought of it.  They will not come and attack you for they truly are very impotent in their ways, unable to do forward movement as you wish to do.  Yes, you have taken a few steps back right now and that is why you are in this dizzying state of confusion.  But you are starting to see the clarity, starting to know that there is a world out there that you must go to see.  Oh, you are a beauty.  Do not fear the world, blessed one.

It would be good for you to find a strong friend that you could go with to travel and see the world.  This would be a most wondrous education for you.  For much information that you receive is channelled through avenues that isn’t always easy for you to understand.  It is time to develop your own truth.  That is what all of this is about.  You wanted to help for you have such a dear desire to help others.  But you didn’t understand the whole of it.  Oh, you can still help them, but help yourself to become strong first.  You will do well.  You are loved.  You are not alone.  Do not fear.

Thank you to all who are posting questions here.  We are so pleased to see heartfelt questions on many different topics and we are working hard to get responses from the guides as quickly as possible.  We are making it a priority to offer an answer to every person who posts a question.  This means that questions posted by people who have already asked a previous free question will be set aside until all the new questions have been dealt with.

Please do not post a further question until the answer to your original question has appeared here on the website.  Thank you for understanding that we want to provide this free service to as many people as possible before the end of the year.

I would greatly appreciate guidance about how to regain health and vitality in my body and those of my family members. We all suffered from an intestinal infection which lasted for over a year. The effects of this illness continue to linger, affecting my hormonal balance and ability to digest. I am take care to avoid allergens like gluten, dairy and red meat, eat only warmed foods and have regular acupuncture. I wonder if I am continuing to heal or if this is as good as it will ever get. My husband is similarly affected, we both struggle to gain weight. Our children seem ok but I worry…I take my spiritual world very seriously and try listen constantly to my own intuition about what my body needs within each moment. I would love to know if I am on the right track – and if my family is ok too. Thank you so much.

The guide’s response:

Dear one, your children are doing better because they have cells that renew themselves faster than you do at this point of the physical domain.  Your mucous membranes, the lining of all of your intestines, well, your entire digestive track, is very inflamed and it creates heavy mucous right now. That is part of the healing process so it does not absorb a lot of the nutrients from the small intestine, right down to the large intestine.  You need to treat your body as well as you would a newborn infant, the finest of food, in the most tepid of temperature, broths, freshly made soups and stews.  Foods that are digested higher up in the digestive track are good.   Things that are changed dramatically from their natural state are very hard to digest for the system, but also very raw things are hard to digest.  I don’t want to upset you but basically what you need is mush, lots of gentle food.

There is a wonderful thing that helps to create the B vitamin which is mostly taken into the system through the large intestine (which is why you are so anxious, exhausted and tired)… is laughter.  If you and your mate can find a way to laugh for a few moments every day and increasing it, you will find that you will start to heal that part of your body.  Laughter actually is a vibrational state that moves firstly the large intestine and then moves up through the being and it is very harmonious and good.

You must really not have any sugars right now.  If you must have something sweet it must be natural as this amazing honey that is very, very good for the physical body.  And believe that you will be better, for you will my dear.  Don’t become neurotic and afraid to eat anything that is in your world.  You will embrace it all in time.  Just love and gentle food and laughter right now and do keep warm; that is important.  The temperature state, what has happened right now is the infection is gone but your body was in such a state of shock from it, it will take a while to convince that it is alright and the immune system needs to put down its guard now and relax a bit.  You need to relax your insides and trust that all will be well.

Chanti asks about someone she met in France and has very strong feelings about.  She wonders if this is the strong, beautiful love that she was told about earlier.  She says it was very hard to leave him and she wonders if she should go back to France.  She would like to but is worried about money.  She says, “I have a dream but I am frustrated because I want it now.  I know I need time and patience.”

The guide’s response

Tell this blessed one that she does very well; that she is growing and learning and understanding.  This is about trusting herself.  She now listens to her being.  She is learning what brings her great joy?  That her whole being is excited by?  And learning to speak of this, now.  To trust, to speak, to be not afraid of feelings that lie within.  It is not a time yet to make plans, but to ask what the needs of others are.

And blessed one, when he asks how you might be doing, then you are to speak honestly from your whole being.  You are learning to trust my dear.  You are learning to be that bright spirit.  Try not to go back to old ways, but follow the passion of who you be, and dance in the joy that is there for you.

I know you ask many questions, but in truth your questions you answer yourself.  You seek the answers from so many places and beings, and then when you receive an answer from within, you doubt it.  Do not doubt any more, blessed one.  Know that those answers that bubble up through your being… by your heart beating or your skin tingling.  These are the answers you need to listen to.

You are developing a form of communication with those beings around you.  You are quieting your conscious mind to hear with your spirit hearing.  You are being still and listening to others, not just their words, but their very presence.  It is all starting to be heard by you now.  Don’t rush it.  Take your time.  You do beautifully, blessed one.

She is worried if she makes the wrong choice and….

Loses this being….  This being is just wondering about her.  And that interaction of growth that occurs between the two will create that that they need.

So she should think about his situation, his need?

Yes.  At the same time thinking about hers in a still way.  Not rushing, not moving too quickly, is important.

We had a wonderful evening in the circle with the spirit guides in Victoria on Friday night. Thank you to all who joined us.  We will be posting transcripts of some of the guides words here over the next while.  And if you have a question for the guides that didn’t get answered, you can ask it here.  Details of how to do that are on the sidebar at the right.

Peace to all that encounter you, to seek the highest.  In all manner of actions and choices in every world of your passing day.  There is growth in the choices you make and you know when you are doing something less than the vibrational state that you be in.  But ask for help for when you feel lost for it is there for you. Honour your being.  Honour your truth by asking.  For you are wonder as you are.

A short excerpt from our April 2nd Evening with the Spirit Guides.  This was at the very beginning of the channeling when the first guide spoke.

GUIDE: Hello.

JOANNA:  I recognize this guide.  This is a guide who comes fairly often to our sessions where we ask the guides for answers to questions on our blog.  A beautiful, beautiful spirit.  Welcome.

GUIDE:  I am honoured.  I am honoured to use these vocal cords to speak to these gentle beings.

JOANNA:  Before we start, do you have….

(The guide takes a deep breath with a long exhale.)

JOANNA:  This guide just reminded me now with her breathing.  I asked her last week at a blog session if she had any advice for us about this evening, and she said—breathe, remember to breathe.  And that’s good advice for me, and probably good advice for everybody here.  So don’t forget to breathe, we can breathe together.  It helps our vibrations to unite.

GUIDE:  This unites all, to take a moment to breathe, to feel the air enter your body, the sound of it.  Feel your body has its tensions released with breath.  So many times when you dwell in the physical world you forget to breathe. And yet it is the life force.  You are all a part of the oneness.

Blessed beings all, there is a great deal of pain in this room, sadness, but beautiful hearts.  You see I see you not as bodies but as brilliant lights, each with a very different color.  Radiant, gentle beings, how might I help you?

Earlier this year we welcomed about 60 people into the circle to share the experience of speaking to the spirit guides channeled by Jane.   It was an incredible and moving evening with four different guides speaking and answering audience questions.

We are pleased to be hosting another Evening in the Circle with the Spirit Guides here in Victoria, British Columbia, on Friday, September 16th.  This time we will be asking the guides to speak about the world today and how to live our lives in these difficult times.  We will also be inviting people in the audience to ask the guides questions on any topic.

If you’re near Victoria, we invite you to join us in the circle at 7:30 pm at the Church of Truth, 111 Superior Street.  Tickets are $30 in advance or $40 at the door.  You can purchase advance tickets by using the paypal option at the top of the sidebar here or by going to Instinct Art & Books at 622 View Street in Victoria.
