Glorious 2012 is Here Now!

When the rumblings of 2012 caught my attention in the latter part of 2010; I thought what is everyone talking about? My guides have said nothing about the end of the world in 2012! Months went by without further word, and then suddenly they began reporting the opposite of most predictions.  Not the end of civilization, but the beginning of the end of violence. Thanks in part to energies connected to the Mayan calendar and its completion.

They explained that the Mayan culture, although connected to the unseen world, was very violent. The Mayan system of calculating years held a vibration of war.  Now that their method is ending, the vibration can change.

It may take many years for lasting peace to emerge in our world, but signs of transformation are already visible—the US pulling out of Iraq, and the passing of several violent leaders in recent months.

On a personal level you may notice an increased ease in your life and a greater ability to calm your mind. Globally, more people will feel awakening energy.  Many may sense consciousness of their awareness for the first time. This shift in mindfulness assists all of humanity to hold compassion…finally!

However, intuitive insight can be thinned or weakened due to filters that are manifested through our undesirable belief system.

Filters can screen-out data from your sensitivity—information that could be freeing if received. Recently I realized that expectations, fueled by unconscious beliefs, support filters that can mislead the needed information to help you stay on your unique yellow brick road of life.

Happily you don’t need to have regression therapy (unless that sounds like fun) to uncover halfhearted beliefs. Instead, recognizing and paying attention to your expectations can clear the clutter from your filters and free your intuitive awareness!

Expectations manifest in different ways. They can cause us to think and plan for the future. Perhaps, a future we believe we deserve right now! They can show up as undesired events yet to be manifested, commonly called worries. Either way expectations keep us from the present moment, where all insight comes from.

Recently a client of mine was telling me about a trip she would be taking in a few days. The trip sounded lovely, yet she was primarily focused on a potential problem with one of her daughters. When I brought her expectation to her consciousness she was surprised by how her thoughts had been expecting a negative outcome before she even got on the plane.

If you’re not sure what your expectations might be, here are a few pointers:

• Expectations, unfulfilled, are VERY disappointing.
• One is generally highly focused (can’t stop thinking about it) on achieving the desired outcome.
• Answers on how to achieve the expectation seem useless. Yet, the uncomfortable seeking of an answer keeps on keeping on.

If any of the above suggestions stir a thread of recognition in you’re being than you may be harboring a few expectations. Actually, I have yet to meet folks who don’t. Ok, maybe Eckhart Tolle. I haven’t formally met him, but while in his presence, it was very difficult to think, let alone reflect on my expectations.

To help your mind depart from expectations, you only have to return to the present. Simple—right? The act of being present is unpretentious beauty. Getting to this modest moment takes diligent mindfulness and redirection.

Below are two tools I use everyday. I trust they will be of benefit for you too.

• Try repeating silently I’m an aware presence over and over again until your existence is once again revealed to you.
•  Tacitly feeling your body—like your skin on your feet, wrapped in your socks, tucked into your shoes—can unveil the magic of the moment too.

Once you have identified your current expectations pick one and use the tools above when your mind becomes filled with its need. With dedication you will clean away the clutter in your filters and sense your remarkable destiny!

Dear Marie,

Do you believe that depression is a real illness?

Thank you.
Lucy

Dear Lucy,

I’m so sorry for the discomfort you have experienced over the years. Yes, biochemical movement from neurotransmitters located in the brain stimulate chemicals to release and move beyond the blood brain barrier and into the body. Once chemicals combine with cells bellow the neck, emotions generally follow.  We can also see this kind of movement with hormones—particularly after women give birth. Sometimes the hormonal changes are so dramatic women can experience post partum depression. The depression generally resolves once hormones return to normal.

Thoughts play a large role in the types of chemicals the brain releases. When I’m in your brain I can see an over indulgence towards worries and negative thinking. The chemicals that generally release from your brain bring on feelings of disappointment and an overall mistrust of others. That certainly would feel depressing.

You can absolutely retrain your mind to think differently. It takes attentiveness to the thoughts already present and replacing them with more uplifting considerations. At first this type of focus may seem draining. Eventually your mind will fade out the old thinking and you will enjoy, without too much effort—happier emotions. Thanks to the new chemicals releasing in your brain.

I hope this is helpful!

Easter and Jerry Hicks write wonderful books about energy and our thoughts. You might want to check out one of their most recent titles—The Vortex.

Cheers,
Marie

Dear Marie,

Thanks for this resource.

Yesterday, I was having difficulty staying focused in this reality/dimension. I seemed to be simultaneously in the dream world and this world. The Dreams were dreams that I had had in the past. I was very familuar with the dream content. It was sort of flitting back and forth. It was most disconcerting. I was neither here nor there. Finally, I sat down and watched a movie in an effort to distract myself and focus my thoughts. Can you explain this to me. I have had this situation a number of times over the years. Sometimes, it’s like a split screen reality, sometimes it feels like layered realities. Yesterday, everything was fragmented but clear. 

Thanks for your thoughts.
Kathryn

Dear Kathryn,

I wish I was an astrologer and could accurately read your chart! I would love to know what was going on in the cosmos for you when this episode (and others) took place. You seem very sensitive to energy shifts. You also have a tendency to leave your body (energetically speaking) when life gets a little confrontational. I would recommend learning to stay more present in your body—no matter what’s going on around you. Then, when you have these dimensional shifts you can stay with it. I think your awareness of a different time and space is important and necessary for you to experience a letting go of past life problems.

As people become comfortable being multi sensory the amount of uniqueness one can experience is unlimited!  As we live on Earth, our unearthly occurrences serve our growth of consciousness.

Wishing you happy shifting!
Marie

Dear Marie,

What significance is there (if any) of black crows? I’ve heard they are bad luck & I have heard they are good luck. In the metaphysical world, do they have any particular meaning? 

Kacey

Hi Kacey,

I can’t speak for the metaphysical community at large about the significance of crows. It may very well be an individual understanding. Crows do however have a special meaning in my life.  When a client or a person I don’t see often is passing (or has just passed) crows accumulate on my roof in large numbers and crow until I have an aha moment of their meaning. As they take up residence on my roof I’m usually not happy—dreading the loss of someone I know.  As soon as I think of the person they’re crowing about they take flight.

Their presence may seem dark, but their ability to alert me to something sad and prepare me and my assistant for disappointing news is invaluable.

Cheers!
Marie

Dear Marie,

As a healer, how do you keep your energy up when life is overly full and you are exhausted?

Suzanne

Hi Suzanne,

I believe when one works in alignment with their life purpose, they are energetically fed by their labor. Energy work nourishes my soul. However, my Saturn is in Capricorn and I can be a bit of a workaholic. I’m very strict with my schedule to avoid overworking. I take plenty of time off for fun!

When our work drains our energy it’s a sign to move on and try something different!

Cheers!
Marie

Dear Marie,

I think my spirit guides are YELLING at me or trying to show me something and I’m not sure what to make of it. I have been woken up two times with a male voice yelling “NO!” in my right ear. Last night I had such a vivid dream about my Grandma that I could SMELL her scent.It was a great dream, I was very calm and serene and I felt love. My heart is beating fast in an excited way even just typing this message,  because I feel like something/somebody is guiding me to ask what I’m suppose to “get” that I’m not getting. 

Thank you for any insight you may bring. I think my spirit guides are YELLING at me.

All my best,
Joni

Dear Joni,

The next time your guides wake you up try some automatic writing. Grab a pen or pencil and a pad of paper and quiet your mind. When you feel meditative start writing whatever enters your awareness.  When you’re done, put the pen down and go get a drink of water. Then look at what you wrote. Automatic writing is a fantastic way to get accurate information from your spirit guides.

I think your grandmother is aware of your guide’s messages and is thrilled for you!

Happy writing!
Marie

The word karma usually invokes fear in the minds of most people. But, it literally means the balancing of events. Karma is the end result of all things. Events that we consider to be good in our lives and the things we consider to be bad. Every action you take, word you utter, and the thoughts you think, create an end result.  No one can avoid karma – it is an everyday occurrence.

Karma has been actively playing out in our relationship to nature, all over the world. As we unnecessarily destroy natural forests, animals become displaced and venture closer to suburban neighborhoods creating all kinds of problems.  Accelerated soil erosion has affected both agriculture and the natural environment and is one of today’s most widespread environmental problems.

Our environmental problems have yet to be resolved. Earth keeps sending the same message, yet we continue to receive the same karmic lesson because we’re not willing to change.

When karma feels negative, it’s requesting a change. When our consciousness isn’t ready to change we may wait several lifetimes to balance our karma. I think this is exactly what’s happening with Amanda Knox.

It is no secret that the Italian judicial system has a long history of corruption – dating back many centuries, and into the present.  Intuitively, her situation feels like a healing that is moving through thousands of years. It could be that Amanda herself (in a past life) was a judge and passed on unfair sentences, and now would like to experience firsthand the ratification of an unfair ruling. Or perhaps she was a victim of unfair prosecution (in a past live) and her soul seeks public recognition of an ill system.  Overall her energy communicated to me the need to make things right. Whatever her past life experiences, her soul wants it played out on the public stage.

When karma balances, the thing we perceived as negative disappears and rewards appear. For Amanda, being released from prison and into the loving arms of her family is the balancing of karma.  Her gifts will start coming in shortly, as she writes about her ordeal, and is awarded great monies for her story.

On a global level, when karma is equalized, energy vibrates throughout the universe.  Providing opportunities for more karmic healing.

Now is a wonderful moment for the Italian government to establish international regulations that are required by forensic scientists.  Journalists too, could reevaluate, once again, how their roll in the media affects others.  There seems to always be incredible occasion to balance karma.

Even though you have a constant connection to the galaxies, you may feel at times, completely disconnected. If you feel the familiar and undesirable sense that you’re all alone on this fun planet Earth – you’re not.  And, you never will be.  Even after your energy leaves our unique physical reality, it will be held by loving and supportive forces.

Now that 2012 is upon us, recognizing your mighty connection is imperative for conscious growth.  Collectively, our human race has been evolving the third chakra; the energy center of self-love and healthy immunity. In the New Year we will assemble our awareness into the fourth energy center – the heart chakra.

The heart chakra is the mid point between a vibrational pattern of human survival, (the first three energy centers), and the vibrational pattern of higher self awareness, (the last three energy centers). It is also the place where universal love can be found.

Beginning next year all of humanity will merge into the fourth chakra and learn how to emulate its powerful connection to source.  Most will not be conscious of our ascent into the mid point, but each of us will have many opportunities to surrender fear and embrace the higher self.

In celebration of this momentous growth of our species, I offer a meditation below to help you embrace all there is.

MEDITATION

Find a quiet place to rest and hold your being close. Pay attention to your breath for several minutes. Close your eyes and bring your attention to your brain where the third eyes dwells.  Ask your sixth energy center to come alive and assist you in feeling your magnificent connection to the universes.  Whether you see, hear or feel your being link up with your third eye, know that its cognizance exists for all.

Now ask this powerful chakra to move its awareness into the mid point, your fourth chakra.  You may notice a tingling sensation or a pull toward your chest. Allow any and all etheric, physical or emotional feelings to be present.  As this energy center develops, it becomes empathic, feeling all things.

Great, now place your dominant hand gently on the fourth chakra at the center of your upper chest. Imagine your hand is sinking into your body. Imagine there is no separation between your hand and your heart. Visualize that the skin on your hand melts into your chest cavity with ease. Take as long as you need to feel this bond between your physical self and your energy.

Great, now use your senses and perceive a pathway from the front of your chest leading you to the back of your chest. Whether you see it, hear it, or feel it, somehow know that a path is there – wonderful.  Now let your sixth energy center guide you onto the path and visualize it all the way through your upper back – beautiful!  Follow the passage into the universe and all the love possible.  Breathe in warmth and your connection to this unconditional loving presence.  Smile and know you are home.

Use this meditation weekly, and feel your alliance with the Universe!

Dear Marie,

I live in a house that was built in 1901. I have a playful spirit that likes playing with my children but it has become unnerving. He (he is a man) seems to be attracted to my 15 yo and 12 yo girls. I have had one experience when I first moved into the house in October but he basically leaves me alone. He has been doing things like tugging on my daughters shirt, lifting bags, turning on lights, knocking on walls, shaking my daughter’s bed and walking the floors upstairs when no one is up there. He has spoken once and my dogs are very aware of him.

Is there anything I can do to help? One of my friends stated to burn sage and get some Dragon’s Blood resin and it has helped her. I don’t have a lot of money so I am fearful of spending money on useless things.

I realize that this is your business but thought I would ask. I am at a loss on what to do and my kids are not wanting to sleep by themselves and it is affecting them.

Thank you for listening. Hopefully you can point me in the right direction.  

Becky

Dear Becky,

The most interesting truth about the universe is, when we firmly, without resolution state our desires they are met.  You can literally ask this man to leave.  He has no power over you and will do so when you own your power.  I think this is the main reason why he is there.  The girls will also need to be in agreement.  Although they say they are fearful of him, they also like the drama of the situation.  Get everyone on board and ask him, in a firm loving manner, to move out and find residence elsewhere.

Best of luck!!

Marie

Dear Marie,

I am a long time listener to the show and have recently experienced some bouts of intense pain (much like Fibromyalgia I suppose) throughout my body. I am thinking my energy field is not in tune and stagnant and am looking for some ideas of how I can clear energy so I can function better on a day to day basis – as I am exhausted and in pain which is not normal for someone my age (40 yrs). 

Some background: I am doing some transformational stuff right now – trying to change careers (to a completely different field) and I think this has a lot to do with how awful I have been feeling… I have been going to a hypno-coach (career coach) and I think the fact I am so used to being miserable in my career – and the idea of actually doing something that will make me happy – is making me sick!! 

So I was wondering if there are energy blocks that my ego is putting in my path (or something to that effect). This and I found out recently I have a kidney that has failed – from an old injury when I was young – so my body is not functioning a well as it probably should.  I had a large fibroid tumor removed from my uterus about 2 years ago along with some early stage cervical dysplasia about 5 years ago - so I am thinking there is a lot of stuck energy in my system. 

Kristy

Dear Kristy,

Thank you so much for writing in and sharing your story.  I’m sorry you’ve had some difficulty with your health over the last 5 years. I do believe you have diagnosed your situation accurately. The second chakra, which governs the majority of your symptom, also rules your emotions related to your career, love, friendship, happiness, money and creativity. I do think you have done too much for others and have let your happiness slide to the side lines in an over compromising way.  I also believe that you’re afraid to really be happy, loved, and thrive in your career.  And though you’re working on it your being feels most comfortable (as do many other people) in the struggle.  You’re obviously close to receiving what you want because your body is responding to the defense and slowing things down.  Now would be the time to get your body energetically where your mind wants you to be. It could be very helpful to talk to your being as if it’s separate, because the cells in your body are acting separate than your conscious desires.

A conversation might go like this…

Dear cells (while looking down at your body) I know I’m scared to death to thrive in all areas of my life but this is what I truly desire and I ask you to vibrate in a way that feeds you and us to succeed!  I love you and thank you!!

Try this everyday for 4 months. You should notice a difference right away.

Blessings,

Marie

Dear Marie,

I love your show and am so grateful for the wonderful insights I have found through listening.

I have been working hard over the past few years to remove the blocks to actualizing my life’s potential and have been blessed with a number of amazing events once I found the courage to leave behind things that no longer were serving me. It seemed everything was falling into place
for leaving my career of 20 years and beginning a whole new path, living in the land of my dreams with an amazing and supportive partner and doing passionate new work.

Last week–only a day after I had received very positive news about exciting opportunities for 2012–I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I am standing here stunned, wondering what to make of this. I am relatively young and have always tried to care for my body. One of the
things I thought of was your past career in oncology, and how I heard you say once that you loved cancer.

In the initial stages of coming to grips with my cancer I am very eager to know some of your thoughts behind that comment. Why do you love cancer? What advice can you give me on how to meet this challenge? I am afraid…..even though I am hearing my inner voice soothing me and telling me it will all be ok, whatever happens. But my emotions feel fear about what lies ahead. And they are starting to think practical thoughts (like how can I now leave my job since I have
medical costs to worry about and how will I get new insurance coverage for this now pre-existing condition if I leave?) instead of creating the positive, visionary thoughts that I was working on expressing such short time ago.

Any wisdom you are able to share would be so greatly appreciated.

Selkie

Dear Selkie,

I’m so sorry to hear of your recent diagnosis.  I trust that your treatments will be uneventful and that the outcome allows you to feel even more empowered!  Breast cancer is a disease of grief and is generally brought on when grief needs to be removed and an individual needs to learn how to receive.  Many women that I have met (many men also are diagnosed with breast a cancer) with this disease are strong capable people, who ask for very little from others yet give much. With their new diagnosis they have to ask for help even if they feel uncomfortable to do so. I believe you were making progress communicating and feeling your desires, but still needed to allow them to come into your life – receive. So here is your opportunity!

I love cancer because working as an oncology nurse was a true joy for me and allowed me to open up to a part of myself I never knew existed.  I have seen first hand how a diagnosis of cancer can literally change a person for the better, including their relationships.  It is a disease we still fear yet it allows, when willing, incredible transformation in ones life.  We don’t need to experience tragedy with our health, partnership or finances to grow.  But, most choose to remain unconscious until they do.

Love,

Marie

Dear Marie

At one point during your chakra exercise at the Stepping Into Consciousness class, you had us concentrate on the 3rd eye, front and then back. Would you mind explaining the difference between the front and back? When I focus on the front of the 3rd eye, I get a light, open feeling but no feeling of “seeing.” In the back, I get an insistent pressure (not unpleasant) toward the back of my head just above the base of the skull. Are these two areas working in concert, or are their purposes quite different?

Thanks for sharing your knowledge and insights with us!

Caryl

Dear Caryl,

Yes, they work together and uniquely too! All chakras are multidimensional vortexes, resembling orbs or cones. Initially chakras will look more like orbs when I scan someone’s energy system.  When I dive into the energy center it becomes cone shaped.  Chakra’s two through six have a cone on the front and back of the body.

The front mate of the third eye (sixth chakra) is where intuitive information is translated into something that has meaning for our human reality. It typically extends about a foot in front of the forehead.  The back of the sixth chakra, where you get the “insistent pressure” is at the occiput at the back of the head.  The back mate of the sixth chakra receives intuition from the astral plane – a large time space reality also called the physic realm.  As this area of the sixth chakra spins it takes in intuitive information that travels across the brain and into the front cone at the forehead.

Love,

Marie

A Medium is a person who stands energetically on a bridge that connects multi-dimensional worlds. The bridge is only visible to those living on the otherside and those who communicate with the afterlife. If a Medium learns to communicate with those who have passed over, he or she can converse essential information that can heal old wounds and grief among family members and friends living in this world.

I had no idea I was a medium or that a multi-dimensional bridge even existed, until I began seeing one in my nightly dreams at the age of 40. The bridge was small, covered in fog, and reminded me of a bridge one might see over a stream or a pond in a tranquil setting. Eventually, I saw myself standing in the middle of the bridge in my dreams. I was alone, at peace, and happy to be there. Until I woke up and wondered why I was having a reoccurring bridge dream, as I rarely remember my dreams and those I have always delivered a precognitive message about something new coming into my future. Wanting to know it’s meaning, I decided to get proactive with the dreams and set an intention before falling asleep. I hoped they would progress faster and it’s real message revealed.

After a few nights of goal setting I became comfortable within the dreams, and examined my surroundings from the bridge. I noticed trees, birds and a few small animals living among the mist. Their presence, I believe, allowed the dreams to progress. The next night, while standing on the bridge in my dream, I saw a mysterious dark curtain about 20 feet to my right. It felt like something or someone was behind the curtain beckoning me to come closer. I heard nothing but the pull towards the curtain was intense. Anxiety filled my awareness whenever I thought of giving into the tug. My subconscious mind whispered – the world you live in and know well is to the left. Move to a new realm.

I looked towards the shadowy drape and heard a male voice asking me to step closer. “You are safe, come.” I walked up to the shade and tried to pull back at what looked like heavy fabric, but my hand fell through the cloth as if it didn’t exist. Gazed through the dematerializing curtain I saw faces – old, young, male and female. I recognized none. The 20 plus faces smiled at me as if they knew me and were delighted to see me again. I looked back, and my being filled with warmth.

I woke from that dream knowing I could see and communicate with individuals who no longer live on Earth. I cannot explain how I knew this information, only that as I opened me eyes, I experienced a flood of awareness and the bridge dreams message.

Six months later, I experienced my first conversation with a women living on the other side. Although some what reluctantly. I was at work, filling in for one of the charge nurses, when I heard a women’s voice as I walked down the hall. I turned around looking for the person speaking, but saw no one, until I realized the voice was coming from the celling and looked up. I must have looked a little strange staring up into the air, straining my eyes, trying to focus on a floating blob of energy. As I stared at the glob I began to see a woman’s face. She was older. Perhaps, in her late sixties, with a round face, grey hair and blue eyes. She wore a scarf around her head. At least it looked like a scarf? I could not make out any other distinguishing factors, or see her lips move, but I could hear her words clearly.

She told me to pass a message to her son for her. Maybe it was in the way she instructed me rather than asking me, but immediately I felt defensive. I was not in a “woo woo” mood. Filling in for the charge nurse was a responsibility I took seriously. The woman neither explained who or where her son was. Surrounded by patients, family members and hospital staff, I had no idea who he was. I communicated back, using mental telepathic techniques; explaining my situation and walked into the adjacent hallway. Once I walked away I couldn’t hear her. But each time I returned, her voice got a little louder. I did my best to ignore her.

I was tired from working two jobs. I had started a energy medicine practice in my home. My 20 year marriage was ending, and I was learning how to balance all the paranormal activity that occurred every day with my regular life. Not to mention my growing responsibilities to my three teenage daughters.

The mutually irritating conversation went on throughout the day. I felt guilty and wished I could just avoid that section of the hospital, but alas my duties required me there. Finally at 2 p.m., one hour before the end of my shift, she told me again to pass a message to her son. But this time I could feel her desperation. Feeling her panic released my frustration instantly. Allowing me to know where her son was. He was a patient, staying in the room directly in front of me.

I took a deep breath and walked up to the door and knocked. I had no idea what I was going to say, but I had learned that if I speak frankly about my multisensory world, somehow everything works out magically. I closed my eyes for a moment and silently prayed for a positive outcome. Up until that moment most of the clairvoyant images I received related to an individuals healing process. Now I was stepping into a whole new area, talking to the dead.

I asked the young man, about thirty years of age, lying in bed, if I could speak to him and his wife. There was a young women sitting at his beside. He said yes and introduced me to his sister. I stepped into the room and closed the door. I explained that my visit was not routine and asked if their mother had passed away. He said yes. I then asked if her personality was pushy and direct when she was alive. They both broke out into laughter and said yes! The laughter filled the room and immediately put me at ease. I said, “Your mother basically yelled at me all day until I agreed to talk with you.” They smiled as if what I said was a normal part of an everyday conversation. They seemed pleased that we were talking about their mom. I asked if I could lay hands on him in order to energetically connect with his mother and pass on her message. He said yes.

I stood at the side of the bed, across from his sister, and laid both of my hands on his abdomen. Immediately, I felt immense fear. His body quickly told me that it was very sick and David was convinced he would soon die. I moved through the fear hoping to locate his mother’s energy. I found her presence near his chest and heard her say, “Tell my son he will survive this hospital visit.” As I spoke her words, I looked down at his face and saw tears running down. She went on to say that when it was his time he would join her on the otherside. And that she would always be with him.

Even though I was a little resistant with this first experience, it taught me how wonderful and powerful messages can be from those who love us form the otherside. I am now more than happy to be a messenger bridging worlds, always.

Thank you as always for writing into my quarterly newsletter!  It’s a pleasure and an honor to answer your questions.  I trust the information will be helpful or lead you to a healthy resolution!

Dear Marie,

Thank you for any insights you have.
Leslie

Dear Leslie,

You’re very welcome it’s my pleasure. I’m sorry for all the pain you have experienced and I’m grateful for all the hard work your doing to heal this area in your life. Physical pain, particularly pre–longed, is associated with repressed emotional pain. You might want to invest some of your funds towards a therapist to discover the emotional issues connected to the original pain.

Pain in the legs and feet is associated with the first chakra, our first family and whatever happened in childhood. Your guides have asked me to send an energetic program to help ease the discomfort in your body (its on its way). One area that comes to mind as I send out energy to you is associated to you feeling safe here on earth. Do some grounding exercises to pull up earth energy to help you feel more comfortable here, and safe to explore your repressed emotions.

Love,
Marie

Dear Marie

Thank you
Kathleen

Dear Kathleen,

I’m sorry for the difficulty your family has experienced and of course about the worries you have for your sister. What I’m about to express may seem unkind, but I think you have to let your sister be. Wait for her to want to be helped and ready to hear your sound advice. It would be great if you could stop seeing her as a victim and instead see her as the amazing and powerful being she is, guiding her life in a way she feels best suits her at this time. If you can hold that energy in your mind and heart, she may come around eventually from feeling your unconditional love. If she doesn’t, your job in this lifetime is to happily accept her as she is. I have sent a thousand angels to her side where your mother stands. She is with her always!

Love,
Marie

Dear Marie,

Thank you for your time
Mary Ann

Dear Mary Ann,

I’m sorry for the difficulty you’re experiencing with your body and grateful that you are taking better care of you! Your guides tell me you’re from good stock which means other than the health issues you are experiencing, you’re a hearty person. They also tell how grateful they are about that because you have been a major giver in your lifetime and you might have succumbed to more serious health issues if you hadn’t come from “good stock.”

The left side of the body is about receiving. Ankle and wrist problems are about not receiving from the universe and holding back the flow healthy energy into your life. Bone density problems are about stubbornness. I feel your heath issues will, and are improving. It feels like you had a boomerang of health issues because the fight you previously held up was so strong, that when your energy changed (stopped over giving) your body was unclear about what do with the new shift. Your guides tell me that you’re doing great and have offered a new homework assignment for you.

Notice when you’re feeling stubborn and make no decisions until the feeling subsides. This will release pent up energy in your body and create a better flow to every area of your anatomy! I sent you a boatload of energy-titled patients.

Love,
Marie

Dear Marie,

Thanks!
Lauri

Dear Lauri,

When I look at your bright, (slightly opinionated), beautiful daughter I see that she already sees auras. Many times people think they don’t have an ability that they already have and use. You’re daughter seems to be good at feeling others out accurately and her guides tell me that she already has vision of the aura. In this case I would have her repeat a special mantra to remove any fear she may have so that she can better engage with her true self and unlimited abilities to see beyond the veil.

Before I could see dead people (those living on the otherside) I felt them all the time. I also could tell that there was a part of me that was afraid to see them. So I repeated a mantra to release any fear and to communicate more accurately what I really wanted, to communicate with the dead.

Here is an example of an mantra that might be helpful for the both of you! I embrace my blessed ability to see auras, and happily rejoice in my sight.When envisioning auras, first try and close your physical eyes, so as not to be distracted by the physical world.

Love,
Marie

Dear Lisa,

Thank you for listening to the show! Doing the show twice a week is one of my greatest joys!

Archways show up for a period of time, usually 12 to 36 months, and sometimes longer. An arch can pertain to something general or it can be more specific. Yours feels like it’s related to you learning to make a choice. Career is absolutely connected to it but so are many things in your life. Your guides tell me that you have many interests and have a hard time choosing, making it difficult to move forward. Over the next 16 months (the length left in your current open arch) you may feel odd that you’re making more choices. You may even wonder where the feeling of certainty is coming from. Making decisions helps to understand better what we want and eventually we develop feelings that we can recognize when we choose well. And that’s what the guides in your archway are working on with you! In my CD program, How to Communicate with Your Spirit Guides (set to be released next March), I go into better detail about archways!

Sending you energy that allows you to feel that you KNOW!

Love,
Marie

Dear Marie,

Thank you for any insight you can provide.
Mel

Dear Mel,

Thank for listening to the show and I’m grateful your soul likes it too! I’m sure the program you’re considering is a good one. However, I have another idea that I would like you to try first, before investing in Evergreen, CO. My guides taught me a healing technique that I used to help heal my own childhood pain. As I write this, your guides tell me that you might have some resistance to the exercise. Because sometimes our stories become close companions in our lives, and releasing them can feel like letting go of an old friend. So if you feel any resistance with the exercise, just sit with it for a while before attempting it.

In this exercise you make up a different childhood in your mind and you allow your being to feel loved and adored just as you wanted to feel. Then run the new memory in your mind for about 5 minutes three times a week. The reason why this works is because at anytime, anything can be healed. Each of us has a higher self and the higher self of your family members wishes the individual had shown up loving and kind. Your higher self and those whom you have pain about will positively help in healing the past for you.

I talk about this exercise in my new CD program due out next March.

Sending healing light to you always!

Love,
Marie

Thank you as always for writing into my quarterly newsletter!  It’s a pleasure and an honor to answer your questions.  I trust the information will be helpful or lead you to a healthy resolution!

Dear Marie,

I listen to your show and love it.

I am 51 and have been struggling with digestive problems for a few years. I’ve been to doctors, naturopaths, acupuncturists you name it. They call it irritable bowel. I have bloating and have a lot of gas. I tend to hold my stress in my gut. Can you help?

-Kathy

Hi Kathy,

Thank you for listening to the show! I believe your digestive problems are directly related to your hormonal changes. I would at this time adjust your diet so that your digestive system doesn’t have to work so hard. Avoid wheat. Take digestive enzymes and probiotics as directed to facilitate better digestion.  Also, I think there is a great correlation with women in our age group and their souls need to be in the world passionately just for them! I would do your best to act as if your 30 years younger and just starting out in life, free, with every road ahead wide open. Keep me posted about your progress!!

Love,

Marie

Dear Marie,

I miss your trips up to Bellingham. I have written to you before about my daughter. She is now almost 14. She struggles with mild OCD. Currently she is very lonely and inhibited with her peers. She is shy, but longs for friendship. She is turning to her fantasy life to satisfy this real need. She also needs to cover her forehead/third eye much of the time. She says she feels energy is being taken from her. She wears a hat at home, but at school has to use her hand (discretely).

I sense her suffering, and we are investigating professional help. Any advice as you feel into her?

-Laura

Hi Laura,

I miss Bellingham too!  Perhaps when the book is released I’ll be up your way doing talks and book signings.

I’m sorry your daughter is having difficulties.  I’m sending her healing white light right now.  I don’t believe energy is being taken away from her via the third eye, but I do think she is feeling her connection to multiple dimensions. She is a very sensitive being and can feel many things even beyond this world.

I think a naturopathic visit would be helpful to keep her stabilized on minerals. Her anxiety depletes the natural minerals in her body which is not good for her brain.  I would love for you to see her well and STOP worrying. I know it’s hard to not worry when things are not going the way you think they should go. Childhood is the shortest time of our lives.  If you can see her well, happy, and feel her loving life you will give her the best medicine the universe can supply. This will positively affect her now and in the future.

Love,

Marie

Dear Marie,

I have suffered a lot of loss this past year. Now I am having a hard time trusting in life and am worrying all the time about something bad happening again. How can I stop?

-Kristin

Hi Kristen,

Loss is hard and I’m sorry for its current challenge in your life. I think the biggest problem we have in this world is not being prepared for potential loss.  At some point, everything and everyone goes away.  Nothing truly disappears, but everything eventually changes. If we can learn how to accept this fact of nature, and realize we are far more than how we identify ourselves while we live in human form, we can more easily let go. Try the exercise below to help let go:

Sit in a quiet place and begin to strip way all the things that currently identify you as Kristin. Motherhood, being a daughter, aunt, partner, employee, woman…you get the idea. It may feel weird but this is very helpful to not only expand who you are in the universe but to also let go of what we think is important. When you are none of the things mentioned above (you may use other descriptors) than what or who are you? This exercise also helps you realize that others are more than what we identified as being too!

Love,

Marie

Dear Marie,

My daughter struggles with depression. She is 36 and on medication, but struggles with life daily. I have done energy work on her, but she doesn’t seem to benefit for any length of time. During 2010 she was often suicidal. She is a single parent and lives in another state, I am often quite afraid for her and my grandson. I would appreciate any guidance you can provide us.

Thank you,

-Elizabeth

Hi Elizabeth

I’m so sorry to hear about your worries with your daughter.  Obviously the medication is not working.  Seeing a naturopath would be a great next step. There are so many natural remedies that work great for depression.  Not to mention a naturopath has a great capacity to get to the core reasons for her issues (ie: hormonal or chemical imbalances in the brain). Regarding you doing energy work with your daughter, it’s hard to work on family. I rarely do.  Instead try using trusted friends to work on her. If you do work on her (because I see you working on her), try to work on her head with the intention of shifting her neurotransmitters. This will fire positive thoughts in her brain. When you can, think positive thoughts about your daughter as those thoughts work best for healing.

Sending love your way!

Marie

Dear Marie,

Words cannot express how much I enjoy your show! I know you sometimes answer questions in your newsletter. I was curious…I’ve always have had a weight problem and I now am diabetic.  The last seven years have been a struggle for me in every area of my life. My daughter, Jenna, who is 25 has “X’d” me out of her life in the last three years. I raised her by myself and we always had a great relationship. What are your thoughts concerning my health & the situation with my daughter. I am really working on “surrendering” the situation with Jenna but find it difficult at times.

I appreciate your work and send you blessings! Also, you have the MOST calming voice I think I have ever heard and I am blessed by you work.

Thank you once again!

-Kay

Hi Kay,

I’m so glad you enjoy the show!  Diabetes has a strong component of stubbornness connected to it.  Meaning my dear, you are probably a stubborn person. This means that it will be very important for you to listen to others.  You don’t have to follow everyone’s advice, but let your being take in ALL the information without shutting it out.  Then you can move forward in your life with the help of others, each of us needs assistance.  Perhaps your daughter feels you may not be listening to her? You’re a very smart women Kay, and you know a lot. Try expanding your knowledge through the eyes of others.  As you become open to what others know, you may notice your blood sugar stabilizing and your weight shifting in a healthy way!

Love,

Marie

Dear Marie,

I’ve had the wonderful fortune of seeing you one-on-one for a lovely healing session many years ago.  Nice to be writing to you now!

I am having a lot of anxiety about finding work, choosing a career direction, and balancing priorities of career versus mothering.  I am returning to the job market this year as a single, custodial, middle-aged mom after a recent divorce, years of being unemployed and a happily full-time homemaker mom, and many years devoted to my ex’s business. Before that, I had a highly stressful, demanding career in healthcare with long hours that I both loved and hated. Now, I want a job with hours where I can still be a good mom for my preschool age child, that will provide for us in our simple, down-sized lifestyle, and that I might even enjoy. I’m starting over from scratch in finances and social support post-divorce.  I dream long-term about grad school that would allow me to have my own practice, but that would take years of commitment to work experience and becoming a competitive applicant. I am deciding whether to pursue the career/grad school  path (long, irregular hours, high stress, likely night shift, difficult for parenting and child care but financially stable and rewarding), running an in-home child care (enjoyable, independent, allows me to be with my child and other kids, but goes nowhere for benefits, grad school application, or career), or the possibility of assisting part-time at my child’s school ( wonderful community, enjoyable, low pay, supportive of family life, irrelevant to career). I am feeling paralyzed about the tasks associated with taking action in any direction; none of it feels right.  I’m sure I could work hard and create an income, if only I could commit to a direction or a plan.  Not knowing who would care for my child while I devote long hours to work is the most stressful part.  We do not have family here to help. I want what every single mom wants:  affordable, stable, reliable, excellent care for my child—but I don’t know if that exists.  I don’t know any moms that work without the support of family, partner, and an expensive nanny.  I feel badly having her in child care if I return to career, but if I forgo career and do child care myself, I feel I am hurting my ability to be a good provider with a career.

What do you think, Marie? What tools could I use to open up to possibilities and the guidance of my guides and the Universe for some solutions and support in this physical realm?

Blessings and thank you,

-Anonymous

Hi Anonymous,

You are so sweet, and a perfect example for so many readers.  First, on you’re “to do” list is to stop thinking and analyzing your life! Over analyzing any situation only slows down the universe in its ability to bring you that you most want. Stay present to the moment and when you do think, ponder only those things you want in your life. You eloquently spelled out all the things you don’t want in great detail. The universe is always listening to our words, thoughts and feelings and doing everything it can with its incredible power to deliver what we emote most into the world. You don’t need to figure out the details of your life to make it happen all you need to do is FEEL that what you really want is here right now in your life. Imagine not how it came to you but that it has already. The gratitude and surprise you feel is all the magic need for the universe to deliver your desires!!!

Best of luck in your new endeavor! Keep me posted!!

Marie

Dear Marie,

Thank you for all your amazing work.  I am so thankful for your guidance and admire your ability to be so grounded.

I like to think that I really “get what life is about” and feel like an inherently optimistic person.  However, right now I feel like I’m “baby stepping” my way into consciousness, feeling very raw.  In my journey of life, I feel I make leaps and bounds forward, but then something happens and I feel like I move several steps back to then find myself being self critical and ungrounded with myself.  How can I better connect or lessen the time felt in a “fog” to keep moving forward?  Perhaps it’s a small tweak to keep me more grounded?

2010 was really a great year for me, I felt like I was really learning self love and learning a lot about energy medicine which I love, and then things fell apart at the end of the year, leading me to now, where I find myself coming out of a fog that lasted months, and I’m struggling to find my way.  It’s like I see myself in this “fog” yet it’s hard to get out.  Old habits show themselves and I am hard on myself for not being aware enough to ground myself in different or stressful situations.  Am I just not listening to myself well enough or is it other influences as well like the lunar eclipse, etc. that all play a part in not connecting to myself or staying grounded?

I do see the beauty of my life lessons to help me truly feel self love.

I am really working to quit imposing my will on others, particularly as a step parent, any thoughts here?

Much love, thank you!

-Ronda

Hi Ronda,

I think you’re doing fantastic work. Most likely what you’re noticing and thinking is new, is really old, but now your awareness is on and your noticing behaviors you no longer want. Appreciate this conscious state you now occupy and simply stop your mind when those troubling thoughts come up. Get REALLY focused on the simplest of moments. If you’re drinking tea, allow your mind to pick up on each ingredient of the tea. This will impress your being with the tiniest of details. This awareness will expand your consciousness into the greatest reality you have ever known.  In these simple pleasures you will then attract (through your curiosity and happiness) what you know is yours!

Love,

Marie

Dear Marie,

I feel blessed to know you and I am feeling ashamed to need your services. A few years ago when I first met you, my life seemed to be on track and heading to fulfilling my purpose. I bought property(with some money my mother left me as a down payment), and have tried to turn it into a place for others to come find peace. Since then my life has rapidly gone from bad to worse and it seems to have no end.

I lost my job there, decided to move to my property and build a life here. I left my husband of nearly 30 years and really want to divorce but can’t seem to go forward. All this happened in 2008 and there is still no movement. He has a girlfriend and I have had a few disastrous (monetarily and mentally) crushing relationships.

My children live on the property with me and there has been constant strife with kids that were previously good friends. One is getting married this summer and most of our family has decided not to go to the wedding, but I really don’t want to hurt my son. I live with my daughter and her boyfriend and my younger son in a 3 br. doublewide. It’s ok usually, but we all feel no privacy and I am the only one bringing any income from my job at this time. We have had many talks about money and jobs, I know they are trying; it took me nearly 18 months. It’s a very difficult time.

I was hospitalized in Nov. 2009 for attempted suicide. My third attempt since I was 17. There are just too many things needing to be taken care of and I seem to be the one that has to fix them all. My husband took me off all financial papers when I was hospitalized and started to pay my daughter to care for me and her younger brother. He has since started to pay me something instead of her, but my parental role is damaged forever.

Life is a daily uphill battle, I just want to give up and let go. They can all take care of each other. My husband has started playing games with money so I know I need to do something to protect myself but it’s all so big, I want to let him have it all and bury myself in bed.  I have been in therapy and on meds since 2009; they helped a lot at the time. I was so frantic, and I still am grateful for them, but I think they may be losing their effectiveness .I feel so sad again. I’ve had hypnosis, 3 different holistic modalities, and reiki, anything I can think of. I guess I’m too desperate and looking outside for help when I know it’s only me that can do it. I no longer have insurance or access to much money or credit cards (I had to cancel mine, was living on it) My property and peace are still waiting, for me.

Can you help me with any of this? There are so many legal, financial, personal issues that need to be dealt with.

Thank you for being you.

-Ann

Dear Ann,

I’m so sorry for your difficulties! And thank you for the courage to write in to the newsletter! The first thing I see is that you have an addiction to drama. Yes, people can have an addiction to emotions. Energy moves into our body based on how we feel, and when we feel dramatic about life then we attract even more drama. Life is meant to be calm and happy, which will feel very boring to you as you become comfortable with normal. You will need to evaluate what in your life is calm? It sounds like your property is for you. I personally don’t think living with your adult children is a calming experience for you. You over nurture your children and they take advantage of you. They need to figure out their own lives as you need to figure out your new life. If you could tap your heart chakra gently with a few fingers 5+ times a day (mid sternum), this could relax your need to please others. You need to become more selfish and take care of you first!!! Please stop worrying about others. You have enough going on in your life that needs your personal attention. You simply do not have the energy to take care of others right now. Focus on what feels good to you and do that regardless of how much others need you. Don’t worry what others think about you. If they really care they will be happy that you’re taking care of yourself!

I’m grateful you’re seeking therapy and are medicated due to the recent suicide attempt. For now, these are perfect supports for you. Remember take care of you first!

Once your life calms down and you’re comfortable with it then think about dating. Until then, you will most likely attract melodramatic relationships. Something no one needs!

All my love and light!

Marie

Now would be a great time to utilize your profound bond because your guides are meant to guide you. Yep, that’s right, guide you. You can choose to operate as most humans do, completely unconscious of the guidance they receive, or you can seek out their wisdom and love. Assistance can come through many forms: words, visions, dreams or feelings. Guides work tirelessly to get the information through and generally approach the information from multiple angles. They sometimes spend years hoping to get your attention. The most important part of receiving help is to feel the direction given. If it feels good then it’s from your guides. Below are two stories from my past that helped me to find my way to understanding how to communicate with my spirit guides.

In 1997 I decided to return to college.  I had no idea what I wanted to study.  My husband had been pestering me to study nursing.  He felt it would be a good career choice as I loved to read and loved people. This wasn’t the first time someone had told me to consider nursing.  My father was the first, suggesting nursing as a career when I was six years old.  We lived in family student housing for the University of Washington, both my parents were students.  Our front yard was a playground, one of several for all the kids who lived there. I was riding a toy elephant when my dad suddenly said “I think you should be a nurse Marie. What do you think of that?” Of course I said nothing because I don’t think I knew for certain what a nurse was. The memory of that moment has been vivid in my mind my whole life.

Years later when I was fresh out of high school, attending community college for the first time, I became friends with several students who were applying to the nursing program.  They suggested I apply too.  I thought the idea was a terrible one. I was raised to avoid conventional medicine, to appreciate organic food, supplements, and counseling (my mom is a counselor).

But for some reason, in 1997 I decided to follow my husband’s advice and take a few science classes. Perhaps the message was finally coming through? I also thought in the back of my mind, “When I do poorly in my science classes that should shut everyone up.” To my surprise, and delight, I loved all my classes and got mostly A’s on my college report card.

I could not deny that nursing was meant to be in my future and applied to a nursing program.  And well, the rest is history!

About 17 years ago, a close family friend was diagnosed with cancer.  The diagnosis was optimistic as was our friend.  However, months before he was diagnosed, I had a sickening feeling in the pit of my stomach every time I saw him.  The feeling was like losing one’s footing near a large hole in the earth. I literally felt like I was going to fall in when I was near him (keep in mind this was years before I knew I was an intuitive). At the time I didn’t know what the sensation meant, but I knew it wasn’t good.

A month after he was diagnosed I was home alone, thinking about him and his young family, when I heard a women’s voice speak clearly in my head.  The voice was calm and somehow sounded helpful to me.  She said “Yes, your friend will leave his body soon. You will be with him on the day he leaves.  If there is something you would want to say to him on his final day, think about it now so you will be prepared.”  Then the voice was gone.  I was to say the least, shocked and surprised by this unseen communication that seemed to come out of nowhere.  But the calming manner of her words made me wonder how important the moment would be. If indeed I was to be with him the day he passed.

When I recovered from the unexpected conversation, and thought about what I might say to him, only one thing stood out. It seemed feverous. I tried to be serious with the pretend conversations I had with him in my mind, but it wouldn’t go away.

I had thought for years that this lovely man was one of the most handsome men I had ever met.  Not just his physical appearance (dark, not tall, and handsome) but his kind nature too. He was an honest person, who loved his wife and children.  Even though he was very handsome he never acted like he was.

On the day he passed I was indeed in his hospital room. I had arrived late for a cafeteria lunch with his wife and a few other girlfriends.  So I told him that I thought he was one of the most handsome men I had ever met.  He was having a hard time leaving his body and I hope my words distracted him from his discomfort at least for a little while.

Years later when I realized I was a medium he started visiting me. I consider him a very good friend on the other side. And when I see his children I hug them for him.

Perhaps a message has come to you over and over again and you’re not paying attention to it?  I recommend you become curious to it, and see what unfolds. Most folks are completely unaware of their true life path as I was regarding nursing. The majority of people have no idea what will generate immense passion in their lives and hearts. But your guides know.

Strong feelings can be difficult to explain. Many times strong feelings are your guide’s way of communicating information. Your job is to pay attention. If you do, you will understand what the feeling means. This will help you decipher other strong feelings in the future.  Just acknowledging rather than dismissing a feeling gives your guides the message that you’re paying attention and that you’re interested in knowing more.
