Clueless Spirits Enlighten Us

Are you a seeker? Do you read books, follow podcasts, attend work-shops, join groups, get readings, attend development circles, etc.,? If you do than you are a part of a phenomenon that is sweeping our planet. A massive WAKE UP is happening around the globe. Exploring and uncovering every tid bit of information regarding metaphysics. Constantly searching to better understand our role and how we fit into the makeup and fiber of our universe.

I myself have been exploring and gathering knowledge for many years. Always and inquisitive person, I was constantly raising my hand in class to the groans of my fellow students who wanted the lesson to be over. Questioning and exploring is all well and good but there comes a time when we need to take what we have learned and apply it. This is exactly why I began this blog on how to meditate. Meditation has unlocked information that I was unable to find in books, work-shops or podcasts. This information came from my higher self and was designed especially for me. When you go into meditation your information will be unique and especially for you…this is how it works.

It was through a recent meditation that I was given the following and I wanted to share it with you:

"Point in fact...Over the years many spirits that were once in human form have connected with gifted mediums. They are moving forward on their journeys and love to stop by to lend support and chat, but keep in mind that while on earth many have never heard of or practiced "chakras, auras, cutting cords, meditation, past-life regression, astral traveling, manifestation, astrology, numerology, etc.  It only goes to prove that YOUR JOURNEY IS YOUR JOURNEY.
They are quite happy beings for never knowing the difference. They are moving in a vibration different then our own, but many are fine with never having done any of this seeking while in physical form. If you are someone that wishes to peruse these things then do it… If you choose to sit back and quietly observe then do it! Life is full of choices and we all have FREE WILL as did they. THIS IS THE PARTY--so enjoy life everyday:)"

I hope you continue to hunt and gather, seeking to better yourself for the highest good of the universe. Be sure to stop and soak in all that you have learned and pass it along. Your journey is priceless in the scheme of all that you will ever acquire so ENJOY IT!

You're Born...Where's the Instruction Manual?

Did you ever feel as if you are drifting along on auto pilot? You wake up one morning and realize that your actions have become pretty routine. The decisions you made, choices you fabricated and plans you have carried out and continue to carry out were made in the past. Do they reflect the best for your highest good NOW?

As a parent I remember feeling the frustrations of each step. Dealing with the ups and downs of pregnancy, then the birthing, then the teething, diaper rash…later the school years, bullies, tears of their unhappiness with themselves through puberty, college, and on and on. Where were the instructions? Everyone I knew had advice for me. Publishers make millions on how-to books. But did they really know what was best for MY situation? MY home life?

Today I still find times of frustration. Where are the answers? Could we possibly truly have chosen to come here as spirit to take on this physical journey? WE CHOSE HERE?? NOW…EARTH?? REALLY?? What were we thinking!

If in fact I did choose to come here, then how can I become less frustrated in my quest?  The more I remove myself from TV and negative media the more sensitive I become to plants and animals residing beside me. I watch them. I learned through meditation to communicate with minerals, plants and animals. I feel them. So if I can learn to better tune out and tune in then aren't I making a choice as to how I wish to continue my journey? Hey, if I chose to come her then I'm going to try and make it a smoother ride...shouldn't we all?

Meditation can open you to the possibilities that are held within. Wow, is this the instruction manual that didn't come home from the delivery room with us? Maybe. Maybe by setting time aside each day you will begin to unravel the guidance that has been there all along.

Find your instruction manual with meditation. It may come in bits and pieces and you will have to learn how to read the language of your higher self and guides, but you can do it. The information is very personal and is designed for only you.

Channeled Messages Raise Your Vibration

Meditation can connect you with powerful teachers. If you want to develop your spiritual gifts it is an absolute MUST. Yes, there are many wonderful teachers amongst us and if you are not careful you will find yourself going back again and again to sit under their teachings. Meditation will allow you to CONNECT with the lessons designed specifically for you. I am not telling you to stay away from messengers here on earth that want to share some insight regarding your development, after all I myself have been writing this blog as someone with a heart for helping others. But I am only able to find this truth that I write through the commitment to my spirit and it begins with meditation. Meditation raises your vibration allowing you to communicate more freely with your higher-self and guides.

I am in the process of writing a book on Sæ-sii Meditation. Each chapter is channeled and the lessons brought forth have been incredible as my guides work through me.  I am often left speechless when reading the words that come up when I type. When will this book be completed? I believe when they have finished I will be told and I will make copies available through my website calicohorses.com.

Here is an example of how a lesson comes to me. I will be teaching on the heart chakra in my class this coming Monday. I know I am to talk about it but I was not sure where I would begin. I sent this thought out into the universe over the past few days. This is the reply:
 
Sunday, April 7, 2013: Dream/Meditation: I am with a group of people instructing me. They are showing me parents working on projects with children. The children are young adults. As the parents begin to work with their children I am told that people use this as a buffer. They are guarding their hearts and not communicating from the heart. They are just talking in a round about manner. We as a people continue to mask and bury our true feelings. It is time to release them. If we have hurt someone, write a letter or send them your heartfelt apologies. If someone has hurt you, be honest with your feelings and bring them out to the universe and LET THEM GO. Holding all of this bottled up will only bring us dis-ease. I was brought to a place of semi-conscious and I said a prayer of protection and began a meditation. I was told to teach others the message I was given. Use this information in my writing and my meditation classrooms. If we need to communicate with loved ones or people that have crossed over- then we are to write it out in a letter and send it into the universe through a white candle. I gave thanks to the universe- it ends.

By sending your desires into the universe you are communicating with your higher-self and the guides that walk with you daily. You are LOVE as you are part of all that is connected to SOURCE, IS, GOD, CREATOR or whatever you wish to call it. Use your love energy to empower and encourage others. If you are one of those people that have been guarding your heart then find some quiet time to reflect upon this. LET IT GO and open your heart by releasing what you have kept protected. If you cannot say it then write it. If you cannot send this letter, then burn it into a white candle. White is purity and symbolizes your respect to spirit.

For me I have listened to this message and sat quietly reflecting. To all of my loved ones in spirit I have said all I needed to say before their passing. I speak to them very often in my dreams as I have had many encounters. My dream journals are filled with these loving accounts. To my children? Perhaps I hold back on speaking of the physical abuse I received as a young married woman. I feel it brings nothing positive but perhaps it needs to be shared adult to adult in order for me to release this. I have forgiven the abuser and have dealt with all of this years ago. But perhaps it needs to be brought out into the light. Holding it in a corner of my heart to protect my children who have now all become adults may not be best for my highest good...or theirs.

I am so thankful for channeled messages as it brings me such delight when sharing.   Begin finding your OWN truths and make meditation a routine practice in your daily life. The more you commit yourself to this the more you will LOVE YOURSELF. This can only spread to the world around you that is in desperate need of positive energy. This in turn will raise your vibration and your connection will be open to the possibilities of what lies ahead. Your spiritual gifts are waiting for you. Look within to discover them, and when you do USE THEM!

Spiritual Development Through Meditation

Be careful what you ask of Spirit, you may get an unexpected reply. I say this because I thought I was asking for assistance in developing my spiritual gifts yet what I was given was exactly what I needed physically. Physical health raises vibration…this is where my guides wanted me to begin. A healthy mind, body and spirit will enable you to move along your journey more easily. We all know this, of course, but do we act upon it? Yes, all of this is moving thoughts into action. It takes more than thinking about it we must DO.

If you would like to attune yourself to your higher self and guides for the purpose of discovering your spiritual gifts, then meditation is key. You start by saying your prayer of protection and asking for help from your highest guides and you set your intention. This intention would go something like this, "Please help me during this time of meditation to develop my spiritual gifts." You close your eyes and remain seated in meditation for approximately 30 minutes. It is best to set an appointed time and stick with it. The more you do this the better the connection. If you can only do this once a week, that's great… just start. The more you focus on your development the further along you will be on your journey.

Be sure to journal every experience. If you find yourself rested and peaceful afterward - then date it, write it and continue along your way. In time you will look over your notes and find some remarkable information that may help you in your search for your highest good.

Here are some notes from my journal. Obviously I am being guided to open my third chakra as I am experiencing some difficulties with digestion.

Friday, March 15, 2013: Meditation: I am given a message: Your body is a ball of energy and you have a duty of care to monitor how you are treating it.

Thursday, March 21, 2013 Meditation: I see myself flying over what looks like water, maybe a canal, maybe bogs- I am unsure and just float with it then a bright red box appears on my screen with white block letters SUGAR CANE then I am told to remember to learn the metabolic rate of foods eaten- it ends.

Wednesday, March 27, 2013: Meditation: I was given an image of a silhouette of a human with a glow of bright yellow tinged with green- and then a male voice said "When I look upon your auric field, this is what I see...USE IT!" 

 By looking back over the journal I can see how clearly I am being guided to focus my attention on the foods I am eating. I bought a stalk of raw sugar cane and I am using it grated into my foods. (You can find these at health food markets-who knew?) I have looked at my protein sources, and being a vegetarian, I tend to rely on soy based foods. Now I am switching to high metabolic foods such as almonds, yogurt, beans and berries to name a few.

By listening to the messages given and FOLLOWING the guidance we can develop our gifts. In this case I need to do this in order to raise my vibration. Metabolism needs to be raised in order to be my "highest good" for myself and the universe. This in itself is spiritual development because my body is not functioning properly. As I am working on raising my metabolic rate, this will help with my digestion thus making my channel stronger.

Begin to listen to the guidance easily and readily available to ALL.  Use meditation to become the very best you can.

Raise Your Vibration with THOUGHT

Where is your inner harbor of peace? If you were to close your eyes and imagine a place of total tranquility  –what would you see?

I recently asked my students this during a meditation class. For some it is a beach, others beside a mountain and for others it's in a garden. No two answers are ever the same. This is because we are each such diverse creatures. If I were to lead them on a guided meditation how would I know where to take them? Oh, of course they would follow along as I take them into a garden or along a beach foot path or even under a waterfall. But I am trying to help them find their OWN special place.  And they can do this by looking within.

You can find your secluded haven by rewarding yourself with quiet time alone. Take a walk, ride your bike…or just sit in a room by yourself. Pull your mind away from the struggles of the day and think of a place that makes you feel calm, safe and secure. Can you feel your energy shift? That was your vibration lifting. Yes, you actually raised your vibration by THINKING of a place. How can you use this positive energy in your life? By allowing this thought of this beautiful resting place to inhabit your daily routine.

As you go about your day learn to find moments of escape. You may be sitting at your desk, in traffic or waiting in a noisy supermarket. Whenever you need to calm yourself take a few cleansing breaths and think of your special space. This will help you to raise your vibration and remove negative energy that may begin to swirl around you as you become tense with anxiety.

The more you visit this retreat the better. You are becoming pro-active in training your mind to bathe in positive beautiful thoughts. It feels good and your body will feel lighter, your mood will seem more bubbly. This is your vibration raising and this is you harmonizing with the beautiful energy of your spirit. This is a simple practice that everyone can do … all ages...all people.

Meditation can take you wherever you want to go and is a wonderful tool to "let go" of thoughts. Remember, thoughts are living things and you are the guardian of them. Learn this simple method of finding your quiet space that was designed for you alone and be a happier person. This happiness will spread to your family, friends, pets and to the world around you.

Find Your Bliss and Raise Your Vibration

Wherever you are in your life is your beginning. No matter how old… how rich… or how educated you are – NOW is your chance to ask yourself AM I FOLLOWING MY BLISS?"

For me it was a slow awakening that the life I was living was in the service of my immediate family. Doing things for others is all very well and quite common as we join in relationships and raise children, but there needs to be a balance.  When you are unable to truly do the things that make you giddy with happiness then it is time to look again.

What is your bliss? It is the thing that makes your heart sing. Think back to a time when you were a child and allow your mind to drift over these carefree memories. What things or activities were you attracted to that really brought you joy? When you allow your mind to dance across these memories, how do you feel? Do you find yourself smiling or do you feel regret?

For most of my life I have been a commercial artist working for many clients. Yes, this was a reward in itself to be able to make a living doing the very thing I loved – creating art, however as I looked around my home I found not one painting…not one sketch. Why? Because my art had become a job, a chore. My bliss was amiss so to say. Gradually I learned through meditation to find my bliss and it has raised my vibration quite remarkably. You can too. Meditation can help you to unlock those hidden corners of your mind where your inner joy is waiting to be let out.

Go for a walk or follow my instructions for Sæ-sii Meditation. Quietly begin with an invocation to ask for protection and guidance and set your intention to "finding your bliss." After you are finished your meditation always remember to give thanks and blessings to the universe.

This is the intention I use:
To my highest guides and helpers second to none
Bless me and keep me safe at this time that I meditate
Knowing that all that is said, done and heard, felt or sensed in any way
is with absolute love as I blend myself with my consciousness
I wish for help at this time in finding my bliss

You may be given scents, visions, feelings or thoughts as you are guided to whatever it is that truly makes your heart burst with joy. Do this meditation as often as you can during the week for at least 15 minutes at a time and journal the experience. If you come away from it and say, "Well that was silly, I saw, heard and felt nothing." Then give it some time to present itself. When I first began, I was waiting for some earth-shattering experience and that energy of waiting and looking can actually block the guidance. So just set your intention and move your mind away from all thought- get into the rhythm of floating on a cloud of nothingness. Your answers may not come at the time of meditation but will show up unexpectedly and your heart will race with enthusiasm. Trust yourself and your team that works with you daily.

By doing this you will be allowing your guides and higher self to bring attraction to the energies that help raise your vibration. This may open your eyes to new possibilities- new dawns of enlightenment.

Many of us worry and fret over tomorrow - much like all of our loved ones. Those loved ones have now crossed over and are watching our journey...did the fretting and worrying help them? No.

Learn to look within and begin DOING the things your heart is longing to connect with. Maybe it is playing music, hiking, working with wood, collecting coins, traveling, writing, helping at an animal rescue center or volunteering at a food shelter. Helping others is a very natural way to raise your vibration as you are using the energy of love to propel you. No matter what it is, thinking about it is not acting upon it. Quietly look within and ask yourself how you can look at each day with promise and hope of a better tomorrow. Begin today to follow your bliss and when you do…share it.

Origin of Tears

Meditation: I heard a voice telling me that I needed to develop the art of scrying. I should use water. There is an organization doing tremendous work with this they are called ORIGIN OF TEARS.

Meditation: I struggled with just allowing myself to drift as people were talking outside my window. I watched a few lights flicker knowing they were my guides coming in to be recognized. I then decided to get my bowl of salt water and tried scrying. I am trying to learn how to work with water. I saw a few lights and nothing more. I closed my eyes and placed my hand into the water stating my intent that I wanted to connect with it. This is what came: 
"We are one—  water is me and I am water. There is a deep love between us and we have known each other for millions of years. The water cares for me and I for it. It is in danger and needs my help." I assured it that I was doing my best to conserve and not pollute and I am trying to teach all that I can through my writing. I felt myself become emotional and salty tears fell. I ended my meditation with thanks and blessings to the universe.

scrying dictionary.com
divination of distant or future events based on visions seen in a ball of rock crystal. Divination based on an analysis of reflections in water, on polished metal, or on precious stones was practiced by early humans, who probably interpreted these phenomena as a vision of the spirit world.

It is now months later and I have to say, scrying takes a lot of practice and patience. I have never been a very patient person and this can be quite tasking in that department of my personality. But I would never have given it a second thought had that message not been given to me so clearly.

Origin of Tears? I have not found this organization, but this does not mean that it doesn't exist and if you know of this group please do email me. I did find however, a research paper entitled "Origin of Tears" written by a group that leads off with the statement "An e-journal of emerging humanities work." It discusses Darwin's theory along with the fact that humans are the only primates that weep salt in their tears.

These messages were given to me in January. I have been writing a young reader's story regarding the water crisis effecting the planet. It wasn't until I looked over my meditation/dream journals that I recognized the significance of their meaning.
Using meditation daily not only enhances our lives but connects us to the planet in a way that is hard to put into words. I believe the water is actually speaking through me as I write this book. The origin of tears will reveal itself in time. I believe it is calling all of us to "wake up" and understand that we have to share our natural resources with the creatures and plants that inhabit our planet. In order to bring harmony and balance back to our environment we need to be able to work together. This starts with communication. Begin using meditation in your life and find a way to connect to the planet that is calling out to you— who knows you may just find the origin of your tears.
