HOW GUIDES AND ANGELS DIRECT YOUR LIFE

On Mother's Day this year I had a lovely surprise when a parcel arrived from my daughter who now lives in New Zealand.   It was a white china Angel, with wings outstretched.    When I rang my daughter to thank her she said that when she saw  this Angel it reminded her of a time when she was a small child when she was feeling distressed and I took her for a walk and told her all about Guardian Angels.   That we all have one and they are always there to look after us.   She told me that it gave her great comfort all the rest of her life.
The surprising thing there was that I did not know that I knew anything about Angels at that time in my life.  I had never  attended a Church, my parents were not at all religious.   I was not in the least religious and was very much against all the rules and regulations in most Churches.   It was not until I was in my late 40's and my friend took me to a Spiritualist Church and I saw the words of what the Spiritualist Church stood for.   Especially the line 'Personal Responsibility' that I became interested in religious matters.

I now realize that our Guides and Angels are always with us even if we don't know it.   My Guides must have stepped in and used me to give my daughter the support and comfort she needed at the time.
I have heard so many mediums over the years give out messages of support and love to those at the Church so it has been proved to me over and over again that when we leave here we go to a lovely place and decide if we will come back again and try to be better  each lifetime.  Your lovely grandmothers and relatives in spirit can see you and they care for you as they did in life.  They can see what you are doing and a little into the future.
But we ALSO have our Guardian Angels and Spirit Helpers who are the ones who KNOW what our path is and it is those Spirit Helpers who direct us into the situations in life where we are able to grow and learn.  Each person has at least ONE Guardian Angel throughout their life and other Spirit Guides come along when we need specific help and direction.

I lived with my mother for several years and at that time I attended a group called Spiritual Venturers.  We had a meditation each  week that I found to be most helpful in my life.
One week a couple of Angels took me to the edge of a cliff and pushed me off.    As I was falling they spread out their wings and brought me back and said "You are going to be allright".  I had no idea what that meant but the next week they did it to me again and this time I almost fell on the jugged rocks below.  Once again they put out their wings and pulled me back and said  "You are going to be allright"     The next week when they appeared I was terrified and asked if they were going to push me again.  But they said "No, this week you are learning to fly"  I found that I had grown little rainbow coloured wings and they took me by the hand and we  flew over mountains and rivers.   The following week when they appeared I asked if we were going flying and they answered, No.  you have your own wings now."    I found that I had grown large white wings.   The following week Sai Baba appeared, took me to the edge of the cliff and said "You are on your own now"
That week my mother died, and I was very much on my own.  The house had to be sold and divided up amongst the family.   So, I had no home but I had been assured that I would be OK.   And I was.  Very soon after that my son Mark came to live with me and we found a beautiful home in Bexley where we established my School of Life Path Studies.

I have had dozens of similar situations in my life.   All of them beautifully timed and suitable at the time.  My book Signposts tells of many of these experiences.

In all of these experiences I can see the work of my Guides who are always there to help me to go in the direction I chose before I re entered this world.

70 the NEW 50.

People seem to be living longer now and looking younger.   We have had so many advances in medical treatments and there are so many vitamins and minerals available, as well as a knowledge of healthy foods.
Older people are encouraged to look after their bodies and work with things like Yoga or Tai Chi.  Every day on the tele. we can see the newest creams and treatments that take away our facial lines etc.
The saying is that seventy is the new fifty.   People are now comfortable with activities that were not considered appropriate for older people years ago.   People are being encouraged to join places such as the Third Age where they can expand their mind and learn new things  as well as giving their own knowledge to others.
Where is this all going?   We are starting to use the second level of the Aura that surrounds us.   The first layer relates to the colour Red, and that connects to all the seven Chakras we know about.   All of these Chakras have 'rules' that we are taught to live up to.  The Red/Root Chakra is connected with our need to  'fit in' with society.   We feel that we 'must' fit in with our family, friends and social expectations.  We even feel that we must have an 'acceptable' body shape to be accepted.   When we feel we cannot live up to these expectations we often have problems in our lower body and often put on a lot of weight.
The second Orange/Sacral  Chakra is connected with our need  to be accepted in relationships.   When this does not happen we often develop problems in the area containing the sexual organs.
The third Yellow/Solar Plexus Chakra is connected to our need to express our own will power.   When we are stopped from expressing our own will power we can get rashes or digestive problems.
The fourth Green/Heart Chakra is connected to how we give and receive love.  When we do not get the love we want we can have heart or lung problems.
The fifth Blue/Throat Chakra is connected with our self expression (talking, singing, writing etc.)  If we are stopped (or are not allowed} to express ourselves we develop tight throat, mouth, shoulders etc.
The sixth Indigo/Third Eye Chakra is connected with accepting our own intuition.  If we do not do this (or are not allowed to) we can suffer from eye problems or headaches.
The seventh Violet/Crown Chakra is our connection with the messages that our Guides and Angels send us.  If we do not accept these messages or ignore them we can have Migrane headaches or even worse, mental problems.

Now that we are starting to connect with the Second /Orange layer of the Aura  (Orange being the colour of  Relationships) there are Chakras being seen between our usual ones.  Between Red and Orange there is a Red/Orange one (bringing more strength into relationships.)
Between the Orange and Yellow Chakra there is a Gold one (placed in front of the belly button) that we are using to connect back to our source.
Between the Yellow and Green Chakra there is a Lime Green one ( a new flame burning in the chest indicating getting ready for new growth)
Between the Green and Blue Chakras there is a Turquoise one (in front of the Thymus)  It is about speaking from the heart. This was the first of the New Chakras that was noticed.   It is most important as it is to do with the NEW energy of speaking and expressing yourself from the heart.   Rather than having to follow the rules of the Red energy.
Between the Blue and Violet  Chakras there is a Magenta  one.  It is placed beside the ear in order that we start to 'listen' and 'accept' the views and opinions of others.  It is also connected with our increasing ability to look into the future.

With this new energy and technology available to us we should probably live WELL to an older age.

As the population grows because there will be so many of us, hopefully science can find ways to make all the huge unused places of the earth productive.    When the earth gets totally filled up I hope by then scientists will have found a way to take us to another planet!

What is LOVE?

LOVE...the most mis-used word in the English language!
Why is it that something that should be so beautiful and comforting is often the source of so much pain and distress?  In movies or books the heroine is often crying over 'love' or the hero is smoking and drinking and breaking down because of his problems with 'love'.   The happy, joyous beginning of any movie or book is usually about one quarter of the time.  The rest is spent in stress until the last few minutes when they are happy once again!     Unfortunately movies and books have created the idea that if someone 'loves' you they must only see and adore you.    How many movies do you see where the heroine or hero is broken hearted because 'their' loved one has spent some time with, or even 'looked' at another person?
 So many people use this word like a sword or hammer.  "If you love me you will do this" or " but I love you so you should do things my way"
If you really love someone you accept them for who they are and do not try to change them.  This will allow them to love you as you are and you can work through the changes that life brings together. .
When I was studying Colour Therapy my teacher, who was a Russian Colour Psychologist told us that in France they have several different words for the different ways you can use the word love.   In the English language we have only one so the word is used for many different situations.   The way we might use it is for  'love of God' or 'sexual love' or 'love of a parent for their children'.  'Love of nature' can cause a person to become a vegetarian.  Love of work or power can cause a person to lose the softness and caring of love and become hard or ruthless (the word ruth means love).
Our Colour Therapy teacher also said that each different way of expressing love has its own colour!   Sexual love is seen as Bright Red, and when it wants to overpower the other person it is seen as Dark Red.   Love of God is seen as Violet or Gold.    Love of sports, yellow.   Love of chocolate, Purple, love of sleeping in Strong Pink, love of child or family Light Pink.    If you allow yourself to be 'used' or 'pushed around' by one who says they love you the colour would be 'kick me Pink'  This is the palest of Pinks and is seen on very vulnerable people who accept punishment or very young babies who need protection as they are so vulnerable.
Every Astrological Sign has their own way of loving.   Aries need to take charge and protect those they love. Taurus, being a very physical/sensual sign (ruled by Venus) needs comfort and closeness and loyalty from those they love.   Gemini is a light/communicating sign.  They need someone who they can talk to and have fun.   Cancer (the sign of nurturing) loves by mothering their partner.  Leo, (royalty) needs to show love in a very dramatic way and expects admiration from those they love.   Virgo (the sign of work and service) will want to make sure his/her partner or family are looked after, kept safe (and clean).  Libra (this is the MOST romantic sign.  Libra's need a partner to balance their life (sign of the scales) they are also ruled by Venus and have a great need to have a 'nice' life and have everyone they love have a 'nice' life too.  Scorpio is considered the most sexual of the signs.  This is because of their need for intimacy and closeness with those they love.  Capricorn loves to do the best they can in any situation.  For those they love they will try to provide for them a beautiful home or a beautiful bunch of flowers if that is all they can afford.    Aquarians love 'the world'.  The person they love might not understand how much they do love them as they usually spend most of their time with friends or humanitarian issues (they do show their love for friends and humanitarian issues)   Pisces. (the softest sign/ the talking sign of the water signs)  Pisces (the sign of the two fishes tied together and both trying to swim in different directions)  Pisces has a great imagination and great emotional needs.   Pisces people spend so much time trying to sort out their lover/partner's problems that they often do not look at their own needs.

I find that belonging to the Spiritualist Church provides me with all the love I can take.  It does not matter what Astrological sign a member is, you can be sure to get a hug and a feeling of being loved.
Realising that we are all spiritual souls here to learn our current lessons is a very comfortable way to live.  We do not have to 'push' others (family or friends) as we know that they too are on their journeys and have their own needs and loves.
Because of this we can Love God, love the Universal Intelligence ,Love Family, Love friends and possibly Love a lover!!

DEATH DOESN'T HURT.

Recently I read a book by by a world famous American medium called James Van Praagh in which he states "Death doesn't hurt!
He was quoting dozens of people who had passed over and they all said that they did not remember the moment of actually dying.   Some of the things they told him were "I remember standing in the bathroom and the next thing I was here".  Others have said " I remember a car coming towards me and then I was here".    He says that none of them remember any pain connected with their death, only the peace and love they were suddenly enveloped in.
I have been telling my students for years that YOU CAN ONLY FEEL PAIN WHEN THE SOUL INHABITS THE BODY!   If the Soul sees a car heading for you when you are driving and there is no hope of getting out of the way the Soul jumps out of the body.   How many people have reported that after an accident they did not feel any pain for several hours, often they had broken limbs but did not feel them till later in the day WHEN THE SOUL RETURNED INTO THE BODY.  THEN!! you can feel pain.
One of my recent Blogs was about Body and Soul.   It is important for us to remember that we are SOULS inhabiting the vehicle we created to travel through this lifetime.  The body can feel pain but the Soul cannot.

This is what happens when we have an operation.  The doctors push the Soul energy out of the body so that it does not feel pain.   Quite often it takes a while for the Soul to re enter the body and for that time you do not feel pain.

I have been involved with Spiritual Churches for over 30 years and never once have I heard a medium report when talking to a person who has passed over anything about the pain of passing.

So, leaving the body is painless, but entering the body at birth is painful.                                                         When the time comes for us to re enter the world we have to leave our warm liquid world that we have lived in for many months and make a painful journey down a tight passage.   At the end of this journey we are propelled or pulled into a place of light and noise.   Our new bodies are poked and prodded and then, if we have not cried yet to show our stress we are smacked!.  And so our life in our new body begins and we start to learn our new lessons with our new parents and siblings once more.

As we travel through this new life it is important to remember that WE can care for or damage this body.
The physical vehicle (the body) is always affected by the Soul's needs.   The Chakra system that is connected with all areas of the body starts in the head and continues down the spine to connect with the seven major Chakras.   These Chakras then open out towards the front of the body and interact with the organs in that section of the body.
The Soul feeds its needs and emotions into the brain and the brain then sends messages to the appropriate Chakra.   When we work with our Soul's energies and try to be loving, helpful and useful beings the Soul can send calm energies to the appropriate Chakra, keeping that part of the body in good health.
When we send messages of stress, and anger through the brain and down the spine it will send that feeling  to the appropriate Chakra that can cause disturbances to the organs of that section of the body.
If we feel that we cannot express our words or needs the message will be sent to the Throat (Blue) Chakra and we can have problems in that area.  How many of us get sore throats, tight shoulders etc. when we cannot express our needs.
The area that is often affected in women is the Sacral area (just below the belly button).  This is the area most affected when we have all types of relationship problems.

So in order to keep our vehicle (the body) in good condition it is important to work with the Soul's need for love and caring for others. (as well as ourself).

It is good to know that when the time comes for our Soul to return home and break it's connection with its physical vehicle that has carried it through this lifetime the we can return in peace for a rest before continuing on our quest to be the best person (soul) that we can be.

LET GO AND ACCEPT

How hard it is to 'let go' of the built up attitudes we have formed in our lifetimes.   Until we are five years old we are surrounded by situations, nationality, attitudes, important issues to family members.   This is called the Moon time in a child's life.   It is a time when children have not yet learned to express themselves in words and only learn about who they are expected to be and family values through their emotions.   This is the time that sets off attitudes for life, as they are kept in deep feelings that create our patterns of behavior. We often do not understand our deep seated opinions as they were not formed in a time when we could  discuss them.

We all come into the world with our MAP. our Astrology chart, that shows us why we are here and what we have come to learn this time.    Early training will help or hinder our path, depending on what we have to learn.   We may have had parents who gave us the training to fit in with our Astrology direction and this will make life easier for us.   We may have had parents whose attitudes did not fit in with the direction we were headed for this lifetime.  That can make it harder.    But there will always be a reason for it.

During our lifetime we have special times when the Planets and Numbers give you the opportunity to let go of old attitudes and comfort zones to become the person you incarnated to be.    When we reach the age of 29, or sometime 30 the Planet Saturn will have had it's first journey through space and returned to the spot it was in your Birth Chart.   This is known as Saturn Return.   Saturn is a Planet that teaches us responsibility and it's return signals to our soul that it is time to let go of things we do not need anymore and become a responsible adult.   It is usually a difficult time as we often do not want to let go of old habits and attitudes and take on more responsibility.
When we are 38 or 39 Pluto (the Planet of transformation)....yes, it is a Planet, don't let them tell you otherwise.  It is a most powerful Planet and has a tremendous affect on the world when it is in power.
So...when we are 38 or 39 the Planet Pluto makes a square aspect to it's position on your Birth chart.
As Pluto is there to transform you it is often quite uncomfortable and you often have problems with others who have not had this situation in their lives.  This will happen three times, (usually in one year).   Pluto wants you to start to accept the Spiritual side of your nature and to 'let go' of the material things in life driving you.   He does not ask you to give up your material things but to start to appreciate that they do not give you the inner comfort you need.
A little after this we get another 'push' to let go and accept when the Planet Uranus makes an opposition aspect to where it was in your Birth chart.   This happens when you are 42 (as the Planet Uranus takes 84 years to circuit the earth.)   Uranus comes in quickly and often makes you start to think in a new way.  This will happen three times (usually in one year) until you decide that you must express your own thoughts even though you know that it will upset some people.
Uranus is the Planet governing Aquarius, and as we are entering the Age of Aquarius Uranus will try to push us to let go of our old Piscean ways of sacrifice and judgement.  It is now a time of acceptance and tolerance to other ideas and other people.   The more we try to bring LIGHT into the world and live in love and acceptance, the more the DARK side will try to keep us sacrificial and judgemental.   This is happening all over the world now as nations fight nations and religions fight other religions.
It is important to all Spiritual people to let go of old judgements and accept the fact that we are all different and we all have things that are important to us.   To each person their ideas are important and need to be accepted as their own even if we do not share their opinions.
When we reach 50 or 51 the Planet Chiron (pronounced Kiron) finishes it's journey through Uranus (learning about acceptance) and Neptune (learning about our Spiritual nature) and returns to Saturn (taking responsibility for our actions).   Chiron represents a wound we carry from past lives and one we have come to heal this lifetime through different situations we have been involved with.                                                  

 Chiron can feel very painful if we persist in our old negative habits.   But if we take in the lessons that Saturn, Pluto, Neptune and Uranus have taught us life will become more peaceful and we will be able to use this knowledge to be of comfort and benefit to others.

BODY AND SOUL

Our Souls have their home in Heaven, along with the other 20 or so others that are part of our Soul Group.   This group of Souls are those we work with lifetime after lifetime in order to develop ourselves to the highest standard we can achieve.  We can be a mother this time, and learn the lessons of a mother, a soldier another time, a rich person, a poor person, male or female,depending on whatever lessons our Soul needs to develop

In order to learn these lessons we create, with the help of our Guiding Spirits a suitable vehicle for our Soul to live in here in the Earth School.  The Soul will stay in this body for the length of time it has decided it needs to learn things, such as caring for others, taking responsibility, having fun, being a parent, etc.

When a body is being created for the Soul to use as its vehicle here on Earth the Soul visits the body several times during its growth. It does not usually inhabit the body until the last month of growth or when the body is travelling down the birth canal.   Some Souls choose to inhabit the body after the birth.    Then the Soul has the job of learning to live in this vehicle and be comfortable in it.   Occasionally a Soul will feel that they are not happy with this arrangement as they do not feel that they can align with the body.  So they will leave.

Not all of our Soul group incarnates with us each time.  Some stay behind and keep an eye on us and try to help if they can.  Choosing what we need to learn and who will work with us this lifetime has to be worked our before we leave.  If we were not a caring parent in past lives one of our Soul group will take on the role of being a difficult mother or father in order that we may learn how this feels.

There is also an 'outer' group of other souls that we have spent time with in different lives who will make short appearances in our lives in order to help us or push us in a new direction.     Shakespeare (who was a very advanced Soul) said, "All the World is a stage, the men and women merely players.  They all have their exits and their entrances.  One man in his time plays many parts.   It is rather like that.  This World is the stage where we come to play our parts with other members of our Soul group who have their own particular lesson to learn   We decide before we come here what role we will play.
Often we hear of little children trying to 'mother' their mother as it seems so natural to them.  But this lifetime they are here to learn to accept guidance rather than giving it.   Some people have the most amazing talents and abilities that it is impossible to understand where these skills came from.    They would be part of the Soul's knowledge gained from many other lifetimes.
We create a body (our vehicle) to transport us through life, and it will wear out eventually (while the soul does not) so it is important to look after it well.

As our Soul uses our physical body to learn lessons in the dense atmosphere of Earth it can 'pop' out any time it needs to.  IF YOUR SOULS SENSES THAT YOUR PHYSICAL BODY IS GOING TO BE DESTROYED IT CAN POP OUT BEFORE THAT HAPPENS.  YOU CAN ONLY FEEL PAIN WHEN YOUR SOUL INHABITS YOUR PHYSICAL BODY.
When you have a car accident and you 'nearly' get killed you can walk around with a broken arm, leg or anything else (and feel no pain) until your Soul decides to re enter your body.  (THEN you will feel pain)
I HAVE FOUND THIS TO BE A SOURCE OF COMFORT TO THOSE WHO LOST SOMEONE IN A CAR ACCIDENT OR FIRE (The Soul moves out when it knows that the body will be destroyed or injured)    If the Soul decides that it wants to stay when  the body is being attacked then the body will feel pain.  The Soul may not have finished all that it had to learn and will try to stay in the body, even though it is in pain.
When the Soul feels that it has finished its lessons here on Earth it can remove itself and return to its Heavenly Home.   As the vehicle it has created starts to break down in old age it can decide to leave it.
Because we only send a part of our Spiritual energy here to Earth when we start a new 'experience' of growth, as do all of the other Souls who work with us in Heaven or on Earth there is always a 'part' of each member of the Soul group we belong to waiting for us when we return.

I find this a comfort as some of my closest Soul group companions are still here on the Earth plane, but when I return, part of them will be there waiting for me.
