Awakening to your full potential

People who come to see me for Angel Therapy generally fall into one of the following seven categories. What I have discovered is that a person can go through these levels in almost any order. For instance, a person could cycle back to the first level (the Catalyst) after every subsequent level. That’s because we all awaken in our own way, at our own pace. Some people need multiple catalysts in order to fully own their spiritual power whereas others may skip several stages and end up living the life their soul intended without having gone through the same trials. At whichever stage you find yourself, trust that you are exactly where you need to be at this time. Also know that if you repeat a certain stage, you are helping to solidify the lesson.

The Catalyst

A life-change, paradigm-shifting event jolts you awake. Alternatively, a series of gentler, minor awakenings occur until you are fully awake and aware.

Example Events:

• Near-death experience
• Life-threatening illness
• Depression / Break-down
• Spirit visitation
• Meeting one’s soulmate

Typical Emotions:

• Disbelief, shock and awe -  Having a hard time believing it happened
• Fear – Not understanding what’s happening

A Shift in Perception

You begin to see things differently and that alters how you perceive your life.

Example Events:

• Job dissatisfaction
• Relationship issues / Longing for Soulmate
• Desire to move / Needing a change of scenery
• Loss of interest in hobbies
• Questioning the status quo

Typical Emotions:

• Discomfort – Your life no longer feels like it ‘fits’ you.
• Confusion – You’re unclear about what is happening, and you don’t know how to deal with it.

Journey of Discovery

Your field of awareness expands, and new information streams in.

Example Events:

• Synchronicities
• Premonitions and hunches come true
• Prophetic dreams and visions
• Seeing and hearing things that others don’t

Typical Emotions:

• Thrills and Chills – Feeling titillated, but also a bit frightened, each time you connection with the spirit realm
• Isolation – Not feeling comfortable sharing your experiences with friends and family, and not knowing where to turn for help or guidance

Seeking to Understand

You begin to see magic in the mundane.

Example Events:

• Thirst for spiritual knowledge
• Voracious reading
• Seeking likeminded individuals with whom to share your experiences
• Going to psychics and intuitives for readings
• Attending classes and workshops
• Traveling to Sacred Places (i.e. Sedona, Manchu Picchu, Stonehenge)
• Seeking your true purpose

Typical Emotions:

• Excitement, joy, exhilaration – Craving more experiences, and wanting to share your experiences.
• Impatience – Feeling like you can’t learn fast enough!

Developing Your Spiritual Gifts

You begin to consciously seek a deeper connection with Source.

Example Events:

• Meditating
• Doing Qigong, yoga, or another form of mindful activity
• Creating (i.e. painting, writing, singing, etc.)
• Studying healing modalities (i.e. Reiki or Chios)
• Honing your intuition (i.e. doing your own angel card readings)
• Strengthening your relationship with your spiritual guides
• Wanting to heal the world

Typical Emotions:

• Joy – Feeling the reconnection with your higher self and Source
• Eagerness – Wanting to share your gifts with others

Owning Your Spiritual Gifts

You start to trust your connection with Source.

Example Events:

• Answering your own questions and healing yourself
• Teaching, mentoring, guiding and healing others
• Pruning and purging outmoded beliefs
• Eliminating stress (i.e. change of job or relationship)
• Living with integrity and speaking your truth
• Being your own role model and forging your own, unique path

Typical Emotions:

• Happiness – Being able to help yourself and others
• Confidence – Knowing you are on the right path

Reintegrating with your Soul

You begin to manifest a life that is in true alignment with your highest self.

Example Events:

• Loss of previous fears, interests and desires
• Letting go of the need to control, worry, and plan; living more fully in the Now
• Creating, playing and laughing with childlike abandon
• Thinking about life outside of 3-D Earth

Typical Emotions:

• Peacefulness – Finding that inner stillness
• Detachment – You are no longer as wrapped up in the drama of ego

Happy awakening!

Love and light,

Kim

Looking into my dog's eyes

‘Protective Rationalization’ or ‘Protective Justification’ are terms I have not thought of in a long time. As human beings we have a knack of being able to rationalize or justify any of our actions no matter how hideous or immoral they may be. As life gets harder and harder here on Mother Earth, through the short sightedness and the fear of many of us, the need for justifications and rationalizations becomes greater and greater. Those in power have to justify their position in order to maintain their power while those not in power rationalize their unwillingness for change out of fear of things becoming worse; or at least they are buying into the fear those in power are generating to keep the rest of us in line. If you don’t believe this go on line and see the size of ‘anti-occupy movement’; and read the hate filled messages sent towards those who believe in a better world for all. Divide and conquer is still a principle tool of those in power and why shouldn’t it be when it works so well. Humanity seems, on certain levels, to be hellbent against change and often we hear laments such as, “I am only one person what can I do against the system” or “there are no honest people in politics and if an honest man or woman tries to get into politics they get steamrollered by the system”.

It is easy to fall prey to negativity when we are constantly bombarded by it through the media in all of its facets. What is not easy is to find our inner voice or guidance system. It is there in each and every one of us just waiting for each of us to take notice of its presence. As we move steadily forward into the 21st century the necessity for us to find, and listen to, our inner voice is becoming increasingly important. Whether you believe you are going to be part of the Ascension or you believe your soul’s journey is still tied to the Third Dimension it is important to discover who you are and what you believe in. This is not as impossible a task as you might first think. Meditation, Yoga, Tai Chi, Qigong are just a sampling of methods to getting in touch with your inner self. Seek out the one(s) that resonate with you and you may be shocked and amazed to discover who you really are beneath the external shell that spends most of its time jumping through the hoops imposed by ‘modern’ society.

I believe it was Einstein who said a person must look at the world around him or herself as if everything is a miracle or nothing is a miracle. We are not encouraged to look too closely at each other let alone at the world around us but when we do take the time to do so we can once again be filled with the wonderment of childhood when everything was an exciting new discovery. Taking the time to reconnect with nature or with an animal can also reawaken that wonder and, just as importantly, allow you to reconnect with your inner voice. For the last decade my inner voice has been growing louder and louder and, though somewhat reluctantly at first, I have begun to listen. As I come back into the forgotten knowledge that we all are truly one, that all life is interconnected, I see miracles all around me. I know without a doubt that each of us and the life we find ourselves in is so much greater than we are led to believe. The moment that truly brought this home for me was not an earth shattering event in any way shape or form. It was simply staring into my dog’s eyes for a few minutes while I scratched his head. During that moment in time I saw how on the surface we were so different and how underneath we were so much the same. In his eyes I recognized the same need to give and receive Love that I felt within. I realized how much I had underestimated not only him and his species but all the other life forms we share the planet with. I knew that the ‘human’ superiority I had felt for so many of my years was as false as a world that condemns multitudes for being different in sex, colour, religion, philosophy or nationality. I realized how little I actually knew. I felt humbled. I began to see again the miracle involved in all life. I even wrote a Haiku about it which I will leave with you as a closing thought:

How little…

The depths within a dog’s eyes
drives home how little
I comprehend miracles

Namaste,

Steve

Meditation is another great stress reliever and meditation can come in many forms other than the conventional meditations that spring to mind. Reading, writing, playing or listening to music, yoga, or one of the many types of hobbies that take you beyond yourself, are all types of meditation. Conventional meditation is great but, unfortunately, it too can fall victim to stress. I was involved in a conversation just a couple of days ago during which a person commented on how she always meditated in her own way and yet was made to feel as if she was doing it ‘wrong’ because it wasn’t the way some other people were meditating. Meditation is a very personal thing. There is no right or wrong. There are meditations that work better for one or even a group of people but they do not work for everyone. I have a couple of different meditations I do depending on how I am feeling at that time. Our ability to compare ourselves to others is one of the greatest sources of unhappiness and stress in our lives. Surely we do not have to bring comparisons into the elements of our lives that are meant to relieve stress? People who do this are not quite on the path they believe themselves to be. The fact they have to make and express these comparisons point this out. At this stage of my life I have met two people who I consider to be Shamen. Their natural connection to the Earth and the Energy is incredible as is their ability to help others. Yet, if you tell either of them they are a Shaman they deny it and are embarrassed by the suggestion, often saying something along the lines of, “You should meet so and so; he/she is much more of a true Shaman than I ever will be.” It is their humility and modesty that is the first clue to their true identity. This comes back to the old adage that if you have to tell people you are something, then you probably are not that thing.

When it comes to meditation of any type trust what feels right in your heart, not what someone else is telling you. This ‘right’ feeling in your heart can be applied to every aspect of your life not just meditative practices. The more you follow your heart, the more you will find your life becoming a pleasurable experience. Learning to trust your heart leads you into the much bigger and all encompassing party of life where we can all celebrate the miracle of existence.

Namaste,
Steve

If you are in need of help, by all means reach out and ask, but do not rely on one person solely for guidance, and don’t forget to develop your own connection with Source. We have created this imperfect world through our willing abdication of power. If we are to create a new, more loving and heavenly world, then we ALL need to plug back into the spiritual mainframe, so to speak. Feel, see, hear and know for yourself what Spirit is communicating to you. If you don’t know how, try meditating or reading books on the topic. Most of all, practice daily. Confidence only comes with time. Let the thirst you feel be the motivating force for your soul’s development. As you start to own your gifts, you will then be able to share them with others who are on the same path. There is nothing more rewarding than being of service to others.

Angel blessings,

Answer: Life on Earth is like a giant jigsaw puzzle. Each of us has a unique puzzle piece to place. That piece is our life path. It is essential to the overall picture. No other piece of the puzzle will do, even the pieces that have a similar shape, colour or design. Only you can place that piece and only you know exactly where it goes. Trying to force your puzzle piece into the wrong spot will damage it and disrupt the neighbouring pieces. It will also bump someone else from his or her true spot in the grand scheme of things. The right path in life, therefore, means following your own counsel. No one apart from yourself knows what precisely the right path is for you.

How then do you find the right path?

- Live your life with impeccable integrity. Be 100% authentic. There is no substitute for YOU.

- Do what makes your heart sing and which fills you with irrepressible joy. Happiness is a laughing matter!

- Follow your joy even if it scares you. Call on Archangel Ariel, the Lioness of God, to give you courage and confidence. She helps people such as yourself whose life purpose is that of a teacher and healer.

- Speak only the truth, but first filter that truth through your heart so that your words are loving, not hurtful. This will allow you to explain your choices with quiet assuredness to your family and friends.

How do I open up? I get so far, and then I shut everything down. I think my left side is far stronger than my right side. – Anne M.

Answer: That’s a common hurdle for all of us, Anne. Unless you have dedicated your life to finding inner peace, then your left brain is going to be wildly overdeveloped in comparison to your intuitive right brain and your heart. Humans have long since forgotten how to live their lives in harmony with spirit. Our amnesia about our origins and our ego-based fears, have kept us enslaved to the myth of the left brain superiority. Thankfully, we are experiencing an awakening of unprecedented proportions that is helping to reactivate the Divine Feminine on our planet. This, in turn, is helping to spark deeply buried memories of our own divinity. We’re starting to remember that we are more than what we know through our five senses. Many of us are beginning to explore the landscape of our female right brain for the first time. But, having not listened to that half of our being for so long, we are finding the process to be challenging, if not almost impossible. Here are some techniques to strengthen your intuition and to harmonize the two halves of your brain:

- Meditate: The benefits of meditation are endless. They are also scientifically documented. This is the single most powerful avenue to explore. Just don’t put too many expectations on yourself in the beginning. Think of it as training for a marathon. You’re not going to run a two-hour race in the beginning. Just start out small (i.e. close your eyes for a minute and listen to your slow, rhythmic breathing) and gradually work your way into longer meditative sessions.

- Create: The right brain is the part of you that channels inspiration. When you are writing; drawing or painting; or composing or playing music, you are in spirit. Channeling that energy activates your right brain and helps to stimulate activity in that hemisphere.

- Music/ Sound: Play a singing bowl or a brain wave CD. These sounds help to synchronize the two halves of your brain.

There are images in my doors at my house. My kids and I have noticed them. On my door towards the garage the image looks like a angel. But the other doors i n the bedrooms changed at times and I cannot recognize what they are. Also the one in my bedroom the closet door is a image of a young man. Could you please tell me what is going on in my home? – Lisa R.

Answer: There is much more to life than what meets the eye…usually. Once in a while however our eyes attune themselves to a different frequency and we are able to perceive glimpses of other realities. It’s no coincidence that you are seeing images in doors as these represent the doorways of consciousness. Our consciousness is attuned to the world we see around us, but we are not the only occupants of this world. We simply cannot see the others because we are not on the same wavelength or frequency as them. We have always shared our world with many life forms, so this is nothing new and is, therefore, not to be feared. The only thing that has changed for you and your family is that you now perceive what you previous did not.

The angel on your door signifies that you, your family and your home are all being watched over by angelic protectors. Your guardian angels, and the angels of your children, fill your home with divine light and love. This is not wishful thinking. Your angels are very real. They are your invisible best friends, and like a good friend, they are always nearby to comfort you when you feel down, to watch over you at night, and to love you every day. Typically, you are unaware of your angels because they don’t wish to interfere with your Earthly experience. Their job is to stay in the background, watching over you and sending you subtle messages. Sometimes, however, as in the case of the angel apparition on your door, you need a stronger and clearer sign to boost your faith. This occurs either when you have been under a great deal or stress, or when you’ve actively worked on opening your Third Eye chakra, thereby strengthening your clairvoyancy, or psychic sight. Your children are naturally gifted in this regard so they do not have to work at seeing angels.

The image of the young man, along with the shift images that you cannot clearly identify, signifies that you are now attuned to communicating with non-corporeal humans, people who have left this Earthly plane. They’re very much alive as there is no such thing as death. When we leave our bodies we merely leave this realm of consciousness, much as you awake each morning from your dreams. Of course the choice to communicate with those who have crossed over is entirely up to you. If this holds no interest for you, then kindly ask these souls to find another medium through which to relay messages to their loved ones on this side. You can also call on Archangel Michael to form a protective cloak around you, your children and your home. That way, you will not be disturbed by these images until, or if you ever are, ready to pursue that avenue of spiritual development.

Angel blessings,

Now, any of you who are older than forty years of age probably recognize these words immediately. For those of you too young enough to recall, or those not exposed to 60’s TV in Canada, these are the opening lines from Gilligan’s Island, a sit-com about seven castaways on a small tropical island which began in 1964 and ran three or so years. It was a simple comedy that made people laugh. As we grew older and watched reruns of the show, the inevitable jokes began. A predominant one was, “If the Professor was so smart, why could he not fix the hole in the boat?” After all, it was miraculous what the man could do with the flotsam and jetsam the tides brought to the island and yet, with all his ingenuity, he could not fix a simple hole in a small wooden boat. Of course, as viewers, we know he is not meant to fix the boat. He fixes the boat, the castaways get off the island, and the show is over. Then we are left looking for something else to fill that time gap. Herein lies the nemesis of television: how long to allow a show to run its course? Unfortunately, here in North America we do not understand the principle of allowing a show to die with dignity. Depending with whom you are talking, there are varied answers for this, greed often being credited as the main motivating factor. This may or may not be a valid reason, but I believe there is a deeper factor than just money. (How naive can I be?!?)

Whether I am being simplistic or naive, I believe the problem lies in ‘filling the gap’. We, as a culture, have become obsessed with the notion that we should always be doing something, or else we are wasting precious time. Ironically, the last fifty years have introduced us to an incredible array of gadgets that really are a marvel but which allow us to waste time at an incredible rate. Even when we become dissatisfied with the latest gadgets we often buy others in our quest to fill the gap. This idea of constantly ‘doing’ is so ingrained in us, that people who have spontaneously awoken to the conundrum of always ‘doing’ and begun to walk a more spiritual path may ask, “What can I be doing to help speed up the process of enlightenment?” The answer can be perplexing and less than satisfying. This answer is found in the title of this piece: Wei Wu Wei. Simply put, Wei Wu Wei means, “to do without doing”. Put another way, it means simply to be…to be in your space; to be in touch with who you are.

There is meditation, self reflection, yoga, tai chi and countless other ways to discover who you really are. The key is not to try to find yourself, for even you have set or preconditioned ideas of whom you are. We are told our whole lives who we are and it can be quite hard to ignore a lifetime of conditioning. There exists a meditation that helps you focus on the gap (space/time) between each breath rather than the breath itself, but it really does not matter how you obtain the gap. Once you get there, removed from all external influences, what you will find is unique. Without even looking, you will discover the authentic YOU. This ‘new’ discovery will bring you peace and happiness because everything will feel so right that you just accept it. With this acceptance you will find that the discombobulated pieces of your life will start to fit together in harmony. All this will happen without you doing anything other than being still long enough to meet the real you.

So, just sit right back and enjoy the gift: the gift of Wei Wu Wei, the gift of YOU!

In love and light,

Steve
