A friend of mine was ill recently. Thankfully it was nothing serious, but it got me thinking about health, distractions from ourselves, finding our voice. Really what I am talking about is life out of balance.
Have a listen and let me know what you think.
Here is a recording of a channelling session with Janis Joplin. This was quite unexpected and surprised me. She told her own story about her life and her death, which I found quite moving.
I would like to share this with you.
What is an out of body experience and what does it feel like?
I have been having out of body experiences since I was a child. I loved this, I would just feel myself float away. That is the only way I can truly express it, floating.
I couldn’t make this happen or stop it from happening, it just came and went. It’s just like being here and somewhere else at the same time. There was no outward sign for anyone to notice. I could continue to play, talk and listen to friends but I was not really there.
What a fun thing for a child.
Then one day things changed. I was about fourteen at the time, my best friend and I were walking back to school after lunch. While walking up a hill I felt myself starting to float away and I told my friend. She was used to this and just continued chatting.
This time was different, I couldn’t get back into my body. Four hours passed, during that time I watched myself go to classes. This was terrifying, I was worried I would never return. Every so often my friend would whisper to me “are you back yet” each time the answer was no. Then it just happened, I was back.
After that, Floating wasn’t fun anymore. I had to find a way to stop this ever happening again, what if the next time I really couldn’t get back at all! I was really frightened. My friend and I tried to think of things, anything she could do to ground me, such as pinching my arm hard enough to leave a bruise! It didn’t matter, the floating continued weather I wanted to or not. I just had to wait until thankfully it eventually ended.
I have learned over the years not to try and get back to my body, I just let it happen naturally. The harder I try to come back, the further away I go.
Writing this made me wonder, where do I go? I have always been so intent on coming back I have never really explored where I am.
Has anyone else had this experience, if so please share.
We are starting to hear more about bringing back the death penalty, in political speeches and newspaper articles. This is a fascinating way of thinking, so let’s view it more openly and from a few different angles.
Let us imagine we have the death penalty or think back to when it was in place before.
A person has been killed and the courts have found another person guilty, so they must be put to death. Their hanging is arranged and scheduled. The murderer must be punished, now we need a hangman to carry out the killing in the name of the state. It is his job to hang the guilty, it is his occupation.
We live in a progressive society. We believe we have moral values. Most of us have been born into a religion, even if we don’t practice we can rhyme off a few of the Ten Commandments and follow them more or less.
He is going to take a life, another life for the first life that has been taken.
We can agree that the killer was wrong, but the hangman is going to do exactly the same thing, while getting paid for the killing. Who has deemed what he is doing less of a murder? Who has the moral or ethical compass now? Who is to be found guilty here? Is it the hangman’s sin? He did pull the rope afterall.
Then what of the state, does the sin lie with them? The governments we elect, knowing their view on the death penalty? They made the decision to implement this punishment, does the guilt lie there?
Or are we guilty? Who elected the government of the day, that was us. We knew their policies going into the voting booth and we put an X beside that party. We knew it all, we went along with it.
Who is prepared to have this blood on their hands?
Do we choose not to think about such things? This really doesn’t make for plesant conversation and after all we are civilised people. Or are we?
Was she pretty, perhaps, look again
She was beautiful.
Her smile would leave the sunshine
Wanting
Her voice cut through a wheat field
Like a feather
Her thoughts never failed to amaze and
Challenge.
She had the world and she
Held the world
All of life was hers until
Her life was stolen
She dropped her phone
And she was gone.
We lost her love her beauty
Her truth her laughter
On a old pavement
Gold in the dirt.
We take them for granted but, if you spend time studying stones and you trace the markings in them you can trace a persons life from birth onwards. It can sometimes take awhile but it is a worthwhile pursuit.
I discovered this quite by accident. Often a stone would be left sitting on my kitchen windowsill for months. I would pick it up and see if I could get anything from it. Then one day it would just come to me, it would be the most obvious thing in the world. How could I not have noticed what the marking meant.
So began my life as a reader. I read Tarot of course and I enjoy reading the cards. The one thing I remember when I was buying my first tarot deck was the guy telling me to “be sure you really like the deck”. I searched but didn’t see anything I liked, I almost picked one up but he advised me “no don’t just buy any deck come back next week and I will have more to choose from. One week later I found and fell in love with my deck, which I have been using for the past twenty years.
Stones are just a little different. Pickup the ones you love and then if you find a stone you really don’t like at all, go for it. This stone will have a very strong meaning for you. People say oh it must have a bad meaning, in fact it can be quite the opposite.
Stones heal emotions and help with ailments. They are just like people you have to get to know them, befriend them and let them speak to you.
So pickup a stone, make friends with it, watch as it moves through your life, seek out its meaning. You will be surprised!
I do channel and mediumship. This is something quite personal and not a service I offer. However I was sitting at home last night and I started to see, David Bowie.
He now prefers to be called David Jones and is not the easiest to connect with. He still seems to spend his time even in death exceptionally close to his family. His son Duncan, wife, and also his grandchildren. He doesn’t seem to have left his wife Iman and daughter Alexandria’s side.
His life on the other side is like nothing I have ever encountered before. One of the first things I noticed was the place didn’t have a roof, walls or any kind of boundaries. It looked like a laboratory, with metallic items and worktops, plastic tubes for some reason. Filled with mathematical formula, star charts and maps which I didn’t truly understand. To me it seemed to be a cold place, however his sense of humour shone through as he told me “this is my heaven honey not yours”.
However it wasn’t a “bad place” at all, he was so close to his family and for him it was a very creative laboratory. He is not unhappy and is very much at peace within himself.
I asked how it felt to have all the success he had in this world. He answered very simply. One part of him was very hardworking to the point of extremism and he was always a perfectionist. The more grounded side came later, it took him until the second half of his life to develop this. During the second half of his life he was much more relaxed and extremely happy inside of himself. When death came he was completely ready for it and felt like he had accomplished everything he had set out to do.
He was very polite and happy to interact with me in my questions. Truth be told I don’t have the type of brain to really understand the world he is in now. I feel a scientist or a mathamatticion would have a better understanding.
It made me feel peaceful seeing that he was content in the afterlife and a little sad. I could feel that he missed his family so much. From being a superstar to the real David Bowie, David Jones is a very private soul so I felt privileged to have been allowed in to interact with him and share this.
In various religions and belief systems, people talk about contracts made with god before birth. How as a spirit before birth we pick our parents, our nationality. Everything that happens in our lives we have chosen before birth and then we live out these choices, like a journey rigidly planned on a map before setting off.
We come here to learn these life lessons, some would say life is a school.
How do you feel about this?
My feelings are simple. Would a loving god really let us enter into this world full of pain, heartache, in some cases war and starvation? Does that sound like a lesson your soul would choose to learn?
Also in churches and holy books we are told “ask and you shall receive”. Unfortunately it seems a great deal of asking is done but the package is never received. Leonard Cohen sang about “A million candles burning for the help that never came”.
We seem to want to shun our own responsibilities for all that happens in our lives on Earth, and give god an excuse for inaction.
If on the other hand god gave us free choice with no prearranged contracts, we live our lives on a daily basis making choices for ourselves (although hopefully we are making good choices, benefiting ourselves and helping others who need a hand). No lessons, just doing our best every day and taking responsibility for these choices. Would our being here not make a great deal more sense?
It seems like an attempt to avoid real responsibility for our lives. Falling back on some prewritten contract, where we lose all freewill.
Or we accept that we do have and always did have freewill and deal with it as best we can.
What are your thoughts on this matter?
Hi, I’m Sharon and today I want to talk about manifesting. I’m sure you have all heard this one before, however I find it to be quite a misunderstood topic.
Much has been written about manifesting over the years but it is so simple we almost make it an art form. Let me make this the simplest thing you will ever do. Let me take away some imposable thinking behind it.
I have been manifesting since I was a little kid. At that time I had no idea what I was doing, so it was simple.
In my student days I would often go out with friends. We would end up in a really nice bar for the evening and I would think “I would like to work evenings here”. The next day I would phone the place asking if they were hiring only to be told they were over staffed at the moment. However then they would I should call past and leave my details and when I did I was asked if I would be able to start on Friday night. Woo hoo I was in luck.
This story did not just happen once but repeated constantly throughout my life, different shops, bars and offices. Everything I needed in my life came about in this simple way.
From houses to moving countries and so on, it’s still the same principle. It really is as simple as day dreaming about what you want. The secret is not to hold onto the happy day dream. Enjoy it, think about it but don’t hold on to it. Let it flow out the window. Then when you least expect it it comes right back into your life.
Lately I have been watching Wimbledon and of course I saw a fifteen year old Coco Gauff shockingly defeat Venus Williams. I was listening to her story, Ms. Gauff did not expect to win, even getting into Wimbledon was unexpected. When she went onto the court, she wasn’t expecting to win, she was just enjoying the match without pressure. She had a daydream then let it go.
It was only in the later matches she started thinking of the championship and feeling pressure.
However you have to take action, make the call, express your wish. No one is going to know you want the job, house, permotion until you take action and put it out into the universe.
However you must let go of the want. Want is the very thing that will stop your manifesting working. When you want something, you think about getting it and fear not getting it, sending both signals out into the universe. You take one step forward, one step back, going nowhere.
Unfortunately one question I get asked a lot “how can I use manifesting to make a person fall in love with me” the answer is not only that you can’t do this, but you shouldn’t do it. The other person has free will, you can’t force them anymore than they can force you. Would you even want to be in a coerced relationship?
Focus on improving your life and letting the right things in, rather than getting hung up on one person.
Last but not least, enjoy this wonderful journey we call life. It can be hard sometimes but one thing is certain, it is ever changing.
