From Vicky:
I have spirits trying to tell me something and I get all of the words confused. They are everywhere I look. I have seen names and words that sometimes match people I know, but often times I have no idea what they are or mean. It is making me think that my boyfriend is cheating on me and that other things in my life are lies. I took a picture and found a lady that does picture readings. She said some things that were true and others that made no sense.
There is something not right gong on and I don’t think these messages have anything to do with my boyfriend even though I have this lady that did the picture reading and she said yes and others have said it too. I had a session with a spirit artist awhile back and thought we were connecting with a guy I was close to over 25 years ago but when I got the picture it was someone I don’t know so she did it again for free and again It sounded like the my friend that I wanted to connect to but when she sent the picture it was another man I don’t know. She said she doesn’t know what happened if there was a crossed line or what, but she said they must have wanted to come through for a reason and for me to keep my eyes open.
I want to know if I am wrong about my boyfriend. Is my intuition wrong? He tells me he doesn’t lie or cheat. I just want to know if I am wrong about what I feel or right. I am really struggling with this spirit communication and my intuition, I don’t know if I can trust what I am feeling as I do have a trust issue as it has happened many times to me in the past.
Inspirations from Binah:
Your intuition is a part of you, therefore the answers are within you. You are relying on people outside of yourself to give you an answer that only you can find. What work are you doing to develop your gifts? What is your Higher Self telling you? What tools are you developing to be in tune with your inner voice and heal the wounds of the past?
Be still and learn how to tune into your own feelings by first healing your wounds and then developing the language between your emotional and spiritual bodies. Find the source of your blocks, the cords that are causing you to not trust the guidance you are receiving. Though you are getting many names, those names may not be actual people you need to interact with. Even if they exist in the physical, it is not about connecting to them as much as understanding how that energy fits into your present life. Some may need to be purified, some transmuted and some attracted. Only your internal guidance can tell you which is which.
To uncover the role of each name and picture, try this association exercise:
Write each name on separate small pieces of paper. For the pictures, photo copy them onto individual pieces of paper of the same size. When the picture and the name did not match, create papers for each (for example, one with the name of your friend from 25 years ago and one each picture you were given in the readings). Have crayons or markers in the following colors: brown, green, red, and black.
Create your sacred space and call in your Higher Self and guides. With your left hand, pick one piece of paper and put it to your forehead, over your third eye. Take a minute and ask yourself, “Is this a name associated with a physical being I need to work with, emotional wound I need to heal, energy I need to purify or spiritual guidance I need to understand?” With your eyes closed, choose one of the four colors with your right hand. Draw a line on the piece of paper in that color and then set it aside. Repeat this for all the names and pictures.
When you are done, go back through the papers and sort them by color:
With this information, you can begin to work with the names and pictures. Open your Spiritual Toolbox and find the best tool for each situation. If you find your toolbox is missing the tool you need, go out and find it. Books, classes, internet… there are many ways to learn. Only by learning how to speak the language of your messages will you be able to move forward.

From Morgana:
What healing steps can I take to overcome the disappointment and betrayal of a friend who pretended to be a friend and used me for her own self gain? How do I release it?
Inspirations from Binah:
Friends are those we turn to in times of need, those who see us at our best and worst. They are our sounding boards, our co-conspirators and our confidants. For this reason, the betrayal of a friend is a wound that cuts deeper than almost any other. We rely on them so much that we sometimes forget that they are human beings with issues of their own.
As you sit back licking your wounds, you have chosen to embark on a path of healing through compassion. You must step into the shoes of another in order to understand their behavior from thought to action. Your journey will take you through four stages, beginning with reliving what happened, not from your point of view, but from that of your friend.
Take the following cards from your tarot deck: Judgment, Hanged Man, Devil, Justice and Lovers. Wrap them in a black cloth and set the rest of the cards aside, they will not be used on this journey.
On a Thursday, set your sacred space and take out the card of Judgment. Place the card where you can sit comfortably as you meditate while looking at it. Ideally, position it against a black background with the other four cards face down nearby.
As you enter a meditative state, ask the card to guide you through your friend’s actions from her point of view. Focus on what was done, not necessarily the reasons behind it. Feel the actions taken and what your friend thought she was doing at the time. Take each step as if it were your own, writing down all the feelings and sensations.
The following day, repeat the process with the cards of the Hanged Man and the Devil. In this session, focus on the reasons behind the actions. Again, place yourself in your friend’s frame of mind from the time you met, to the time of the betrayal. What motivated her to do what she did? Were there external influences? Why did she do it? Is it possible that she had an important reason or that she did not realize that it would hurt you?
On the third day, use the Justice card to find what is necessary to bring things back into balance. Now that you understand her motivation, is there a way for you to help her find what she needs? Were her actions an isolated event or part of her personality? Does what you have learned the last few days change the way you feel about what happened and the friendship?
Sunday is the final day, the day you release any unnecessary energy and decide if you can have the type of friendship you want with this person? What is done is done, it sits in the past, out of your control. Your friend sits before you, with all her flaws and virtues. She can only be who she is, therefore it is up to you to choose what path to take. Allow the Lovers card to gently take you into this decision. Follow it until you find the Understanding you need to forgive the past and consciously choose your future.
Whatever you decide, remember the old proverb:
Friendship is love with understanding.
Free of the disappointment, you see your next step clearly before you. The weight of the past has been lifted allowing you to move in many directions. Which way will you go?

From Marina:
I tended to chase men who are ‘players’ and played “treat them mean to keep them keen”, and they were always certain types of masculine figures with what I thought were strong principles. I learnt later in my life that these types of figures, in a way, represented a whole package of how my father rejected me as a child and my views of how he should have been, appeared and behaved towards me.
The, treat them mean to keep them keen part, was subconsciously the rejection part from these type of figures. For me, when I chased, along with the strong negative emotions I felt, it was me saying subconsciously “I am not going to be rejected again!” My conscious self believed I was madly in love and hoped that he would like me and if he did, he will see what nice person I am and fall in love with me and that would make me happy. But really I wasn’t happy, I was chasing acceptance from a deep rooted rejection.
When I met my ex husband he appeared and behaved how my fantasy figure of a man should be, so I applied a face to the fantasy and failed to see the other aspects about him. I was basically chasing rejection so I can feel, “yes I am loved”. The relationship was destructive, he never really fulfilled my expectations. Why? Because at the time I wasn’t aware that I didn’t know what my expectations really were? I didn’t really know me. I didn’t see any of this until after I was divorced and I feel this is a problem with a lot of men and women. I meet people who have gone through similar situations. We chase what’s not good for us. The key for me was to begin to love my self.
How do we make our selves see we are chasing rejection from the past and learn to love our selves instead in order to meet the ‘right’ mate for us?
Inspirations from Binah:
Deep seated childhood rejection manifests in many ways. Some people feel like they need to prove themselves to each person they meet, while others push people away in a secret hope to get the negative reaction they are used to. And like you said, most don’t even realize what they are doing. Bravo for seeing the pattern! Now it is time to transmute the energy, freeing yourself from it.
When you are ready to see how today’s behavior comes from yesterday’s pain, here is a ritual exercise that opens the heart chakra so you can look deep inside, find the psychological pain and release it.
Ritual preparation:
Stand before the mirror:
With the blue marker draw a rectangle over the reflection of your right shoulder
With the red marker draw a pentagram over the reflection of your left shoulder
With the yellow or green marker draw a hexagram over the reflection of your heart
Set your sacred space and call in your Higher Self and guides. Start with you back up against the mirror. Take a moment and bring to the surface the rejection from the past. Feel it within you, visualizing the events that caused it or the people involved. Take as much time as you need to capture all the emotions into your physical vessel.
When you are ready, push the rejection to the back of your body and transfer it to your reflection behind you. Take a step forward with your right foot first and turn around to come face-to-face with your reflection. Stare straight into your eyes, looking at the rejection across from you, knowing that it is now captured in the mirror and away from your physical body. As you stare ahead, slowly begin to move your shoulders in little circles -these should be delicate, slow motion that are almost imperceptible. Do not look at your shoulders as you do this, lock your vision to your eyes, exploring every aspect of how you “see” the world.
Continue this subtle movement as you awaken the healing connection of your arms and heart. Shed your protective layers and stand in your full vulnerability, accepting the source of the original hurt. Resist the urge to bring this rejection back inside yourself, it is in the mirror and away from your physical self. As the compassion wells within you, when you feel you have accepted and forgiven the past, erase the blue rectangle.
Bring your vision back to your eyes and resume the subtle arm movement. Summon purification energy. Feel yourself covering your entire reflection with light energy, spreading out to all the limbs of your body. Thank the rejection for its service and the lessons you have learned, then ask it to leave once and for all. When it is gone, erase the red pentagram.
Still staring into your eyes and moving your shoulders, it is time to take the final step and heal. Call upon your chosen healing energy, which can be Reiki or Archangel Rafael or just pure light, and ask for all of your etheric body to be cleansed and sealed. Let the healing wash over you until the scabs are transmuted into radiant light energy. When you are sealed, erase the green or yellow hexagram.
Return one final time to look straight into your eyes and channel pure, love energy from your body into the reflection. This is you, the healed you, the you that is free to seek out healthy, loving relationships. With pure love, look at your entire body, channeling that love to every part of your life. Wrap your arms around yourself and give yourself a big hug to complete the process.
You are now free and open to find the relationships and love you seek.

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!
