Is there such a thing as a real friend?

January 4, 2011

From MaryAnn:

I used to think I had many friends, but lately I am not so sure those are real friends.  I don’t hear from them for months and then when something goes wrong in their lives, they call me and I bend over backwards to help, but when I call them with a problem or just to say hi, they either don’t respond or are too busy to talk.  Do real friends really exists and how do I get some of them?

 

Inspirations from Binah:

The definition of “real” in friendship is as fluid as a running stream.  Each person will have their definition, one just as valid as the other.  What you seek is a balanced friendship where your definitions match, and that will require you to know what is important to you and act accordingly.

Before releasing any of your existing relationships, you should make a list of what friendship looks like to you.  Spend an evening alone watching movies that represent friendship.  You can watch just your favorite parts or the whole film, what is most important is to write down all the behavior and feelings you want in your own friendships.

Take this list and over at least three days expand on it based on your interactions with friends.  Did you leave anything out?  Are there things that are more important than others?  Remember that you can only control your own behavior, therefore focus your energy on how you want to act and feel in the relationship.

On the following Tuesday, set aside some time for deep meditation.  Prepare your sacred space, call in your Higher Self and create a red sphere of light around you.  Have your list before you and a clean page where you can write more.  Within the red sphere, ask yourself what blocks or attachments are holding you back from creating the types of friendships you want.  Explore why you keep attracting unbalanced relationships – what do you need to learn or release in order to attract healthy, balanced friendships?  Record all that you receive.

With this information in hand, you can work on what you need in order to heal these patterns.  This may take time and require external help, for there may be several layers to work through.  For each item on the list, when you are ready to release it, on a Thursday sit in your sacred space with your Higher Self and feel a blue cube around you.  Breath in the blue radiant light, filling you as if you were a crystal vessel.  Shine this light out from within you in every direction, extending beyond the walls of the cube in shades of blue and green.  Thank the pattern for its service and feel it transmute into pure energy that fuels your healing.

Repeat this process as often as necessary in order to remove obstacles and patterns that keep you from finding “real” friendship.  With each transformation, consciously ask to only attract relationships that are healthy for you.  Let slip the friendships that no longer serve and nurture the new ones that blossom.  Soon you will have a full garden!

What does my gift mean and how do I make it stronger?

December 31, 2010

From Frankia:

I have always been able to “read” people but there have been a few instances where I’ve felt its more than that.  The first was when I was in high school roughly 14 years old. I had gotten on the bus that morning and as I passed this boy I had never spoken to or noticed before I had this overwhelming feeling something was wrong and so I sat next to him and asked him what was wrong. He of course looked at me crazy and said nothing but when I looked into his eyes I felt dark hollow feeling and I just knew he had done something potentially lethal. I badgered him some and he finally told me that he had taken 12 Ritalin just before getting on the bus so he could die. I talked him into going to the nurse where the ambulance was called and he was rushed to the hospital to get his stomach pumped. I saved his life that day. Another instance I told some girl about her family life in great detail which the info just came to me by looking in her eyes. She was mortified that I knew so much and didn’t speak to me after that. Lol… I have used tarot cards to give my friends readings which resulted in being dead on. What does this all mean? If I have a gift how can I make it stronger? Is there anyone who would be my mentor? Thank you taking the time to reply…..

 

Inspirations from Binah:

You have a beautiful gift; the question lies not in what it means, but instead, in what want to do with it.  Some people feel called to work through the spiritual realms, becoming energy healers or providing guidance, yet others choose to channel their gifts through more traditional professions.  Imagine using your ability in a medical practice or as a social worker.  No matter what path you choose, remember that your power is there to help you achieve your goals, thus empowering to help those around you.

As the new year begins, this is a great time to set intentions and begin a journey.  Use this energy to step onto the path of self-discovery -to uncover your life purpose and develop your talents.  As the clock swings past midnight, ask your Higher Self to show you the path and consciously step into your new role as student.  You are a disciple of the world, seeking instruction from the physical and spiritual, then bringing that into yourself for integration and application.

From within your meditative world, speak openly with your Higher Self about the learning you seek.  Write down what you wish you accomplish and then explore what it will take to get you there.  Think about fears you need to release, knowledge you have yet to acquire and the emotional resources to get you there.

With your intentions set, you have only one more thing to do: be open.  Answers will come in many forms, so it is important to capture all messages and take them into meditation for understanding.  A friend may offer you a book, you may come across a course you wish to take, online browsing may bring you to the website of a fantastic teacher… even a simple conversation in the check-out line of the supermarket may spark a new piece for you to explore.

As the old saying goes, “When the student is ready, the teacher will appear.”  Declare yourself ready to discover how to develop and use your talents in your life journey and soon you will realize that your guides are walking beside you.

I am overwhelmed with messages, help!

December 7, 2010

From Acorn:

The situation that I am having is that once I open myself up to channel it doesn’t take long for me to become totally overwhelmed with messages. How do I control the intensity and shut it off when I’m ready or have been exhausted? Tonight I went to an energy center and opened myself up and for about 2 hours, receiving constant messages (and drawings).  From whom or from how many I don’t know, but time came when I needed to leave and compose myself.  Even now there are still energies that are trying to come through.  What do I do?

In love and light.

Inspirations from Binah:

Being overwhelmed is a common occurrence when you first begin to channel.  It is easy to become so excited about the messages and contact, that you forget to use your power to modulate what comes in.  When you proceed as you are, with no restraints, there is a real danger in doing damage to all levels of your body: physical, emotional and spiritual.

When you open yourself to channel, you put a heavy burden on your physical self.  The human body was not intended to hold that much light, therefore you must take extra care of yourself through healthy diet and exercise.  Eat a hearty meal before the session to give you the energy needed to maintain your connection, nourishing your physical self.  As you begin, set your intention to modulate your vibration up to match that of the being you are going to communicate with.  Doing this will allow your body to slowly amp up its resonance instead of shocking the body with a giant leap.  When you are done, take ample time to rest, giving your body what it needs to return back to its earthly vibration.

On a spiritual level, a word of caution against opening yourself to anyone and anything.  There is duality on every plane, and with Light comes Dark.  While there are many beings here to help humanity on its journey, their intentions may not be aligned with your own.  This is not to say that they will necessarily hurt you on purpose, but in their quest to communicate, they may not take into consideration that you are a human being with specific physical constraints.

It is recommended that you work with your Higher Self to identify a being, or set of beings, that you will regularly communicate with.  Set your sacred space to begin your session and instead of opening yourself fully, take a minute to commune with your Higher Self.  Ask for guidance on identifying who you should be channeling and let your Higher Self formally introduce the appropriate being.  Speak directly to this being and determine how you want the relationship to flow.  For example, let the being know that you will only allow channeling when you have set your sacred space and called in the energy necessary to protect your physical self.  If the being needs to speak with you outside of this time, s/he can work with your Higher Self to pass on the message, so you have time to prepare your body for the transmission.

The beings you channel may change over time, but the protocol should always be the same.  Make a connection with the being first through your Higher Self, determine how you are going to communicate, and then enjoy a free exchange of information.  If at any time you feel that your agreement is not being honored, kindly tell the being that you can no longer connect and ask him/her to go to the Light.  Your intentions will be honored and you can move on to work with another being.

May your experiences be filled with much learning and knowledge!

I am in love, I feel trapped, I need to move on…

November 18, 2010

From Dwayne:

I have a problem and I am seeking some advise. I’m in love with this woman and six months ago I moved way up north to work for the government. She keeps telling me we will be together soon but all she does is drink and party all the time. She doesn’t work and hasn’t worked for many years. She expects me to pay her bills and send her money everyday. We are not married nor do we have children together. I’m confused, I feel trapped, and really ultimately I want to let her go with unconditional love and move on with my life. Any advise in this matter would be soo appreciated and grateful for.


Inspirations from Binah:

Cutting the cords from a relationship is often very difficult. Through the years, we create bonds that are mixed with emotion, expectations and hope. It is good that you recognize the need to move on, for there is no way you are going to change her behavior. Now is the time to focus on your personal healing and growth.

Begin by consciously choosing to cut the etheric bonds. Create a sacred space and call upon your Higher Self to guide you. Use Jasmin or Nag Champa incense to invoke love energy. Your goal is not to hurt her, but to gently step away from the relationship. Place the incense before you and using the index and middle finger of your right hand, cut the cords that connect you. Take it slow, scanning for any energetic attachments. When you feel one, swipe your fingers across them in a decisive cutting motion. Once all the cords are severed, smudge yourself with the incense to cleanse and heal the cuts. Ask your Higher Self and guardian angels to help you through this healing process, transforming the pain into unconditional love from the purest source.

Even after the attachments are severed, there are going to be moments of longing. The relationship took time to grow, and it will take time to transform into a beautiful memory. Use Flower Essences to help you through this time of transition. Make a tincture using a combination of: Beech – Centaury – Chestnut Bud – Heather – Pine – Star of Bethlehem

To make the tincture, fill a 30ml application bottle with fresh water. Add between two to four drops of each essence. Take 4 or so drops on the tongue several times a day (minimum of four) until you have consumed the bottle. You can repeat the process a second time if you need more to get you through it, changing the combination of essences used if you feel called to do so.

In time, your memories of the relationship will bring a feeling of joy and the understanding that what once was, can no longer be. In is in that moment, that you will spread your wings and once again take flight, fully open to the endless possibilities before you.

Should I change my name?

November 15, 2010

From Domanique:

I’m planning on marrying soon! Whoot! But then comes the big question for me of changing my name. Can you advise? 

I was born Domanique , and in recent years I’ve dropped off my last name (everything except for legal documents/pay/etc). I don’t know my father, and don’t feel attached to his name. But I like the sound of it. It’s very authoritative. I am consider changing it to Domanique . Which feels like it falls off at the end. Perhaps I’m being too sensitive. 

Anyway, I thought I’d ask you if you had any insights. I’m a little too close to the experience to remove my emotions from my sight. 


Inspirations from Binah:

A name is a sonic code that connects you to energies given to you at birth. When we take on a new name, we consciously modify, augment and negate those energies as necessary. This is an important decision that will affect many aspects of your life.

You were born with a name number of 6. Nurturing and family oriented, this number is willing to sacrifice herself for the welfare of others. If you are in balance, these sacrifices will be done happily, because you know that the beauty that will come from them far outweighs what was given up. If you are unbalanced, these sacrifices will be done begrudgingly and will weigh heavily on you. You will expect others to notice, and when you receive nothing in return, will be bitter and angry.

Being a person who helps and comforts those in need, you find your home life extremely rewarding. You tend to worry about everyone because you view yourself as an extension of the family unit, thinking more in “we” than “I”. Yet it is your extreme compassion and power to find balance that allows you to fix most problems you encounter.

If you were to change your name, your new name number would be 4. This is a number of foundation and order, providing you will incredible energy to persevere against insurmountable odds. Skills acquired are concrete and down-to-earth, creating a common sense approach. Faithful and honest, when a 4 expresses, it comes from a deep desire to help and do the best job possible.

Of course, all light has a shadow and the 4 is prone to becoming too rigid and seeing negativity when looking for truth. In trying to do a good job, you may invoke a bossy attitude, getting caught up in the details. Looking at the big picture and seeing everyone’s contribution will help mitigate this tendency.

Armed with this new data, you must look deeply within and see the person you have been, who you are today and who you want to become. All numbers have positive and negative traits, the question is what best complements the person living within you. Your Higher Self can guide you through this since she represents your most elemental power – she is you in every essence.

To discover which name works best for you, you can work with a type of skrying. For this, you will need a dry-erase marker, a mirror mounted on a wall, a notebook, writing instrument, and the ability to sit in front of the mirror and write without having to look down.

Set your sacred space and call in your Higher Self and guides. Sit comfortably in front of the mirror with pen and paper ready. At eye level, draw a hexagon (six sided figure) with the dry-erase marker on the mirror so that when you look at your face, you see it through the shape. When you are ready, say your old name and gaze into the mirror through the hexagon. Write everything that you see and sense.

When you are done, erase the hexagon and draw a square or rectangle. Repeat the exercise saying the new name.

Sit in your sacred space and ask your Higher Self to guide you as you review all that you have received. Which name augments your Spiritual Toolbox with what you need for your life journey? Which one resonates with your central power source, adding fuel to the fire within?

When you are done, thank your Higher Self and guides for their help in making this decision. Whichever name you choose, remember that there will always be an aspect of that 6 within you, for you came into this world with certain contracts and the 6 provided the tools needed to get you there.

Finalize your choice in sacred ritual, proclaiming to the Universe who you are. May you feel empowered every time your name is spoken!
