Wherever you are in the world may the weather bring a smile to your face, and spread pleasure throughout your soul. Intuitive Self-Healing is steadily moving out into the world. Thank you for your cards, emails, FB notes, tweets, Google buzz, and the beautiful reviews on Amazon and Sounds True. I’m over the moon thrilled that my first book has brought a smile, a tear, or an “aha” moment to its reader.

My very first online course ever, begins April 17th with Sounds True – Attuning to the Unseen World: How to Receive Guidance and Healing from Higher Dimensions. I’m looking forward to teaching over this six week course about the reality beyond the physical world. I hope you can join me!

I’ve added two new features to my quarterly newsletter; Mystic Moment & Energy Pulse. Each will offer quick insights that I hope will be helpful to your life. May you enjoy this newsletter as much I loved writing it!

Mystic Moment

One of the most important psychic truths my guides have shared with me is that intuition is rarely, if ever expressed in a fearful way. Many people think that the gut instinct, where you feel pain in your belly, is actually a sign to not follow through on your original plans. True insight will provide more information than a gut-ache, and most likely won’t cause you serious pain to get your attention. If you tend to rely on belly discomfort to help you make decisions in your life, try asking your guides - What would you really like me to know about this situation? Then go about your daily life and wait for an answer. Answers may come from a book you’re reading, a friend or strangers comments, or your inner awareness, like an “aha” moment. True intuition is freeing, and brings to light the big picture.

Energy Pulse

Have you ever wondered why you can feel so light, but yet so heavy at the same time?

Having both feelings at the same time equals balance. Grounding to earth creates a heavy feeling, while sensing a connection to heaven feels light. 

You may wonder who these beings are? What do they look like; can you see and hear them; do you have more than one guide; and why do they care so much about humans? Just like nurses, doctors, fire fighters, and teachers, spirit guides are drawn to help people. They have been your constant companions since you were conceived, and will remain with you until you return to pure energy.

When you too lived away from Earth, your spirit guides were with you and enthusiastically agreed to chaperon you during this process called life. Their role is to positively influence your life based on what you decided to learn before arriving in a body. Because guides live in non-physical essence they are often referred to as guides in spirit.

You might or might not be aware of the relationship you have with guides. If you’re not aware of this powerful bond, you might perceive your interactions with them as unexplainable. Like nagging feelings or odd connections we have with strangers, we tend to neglect and under appreciate these unconditionally loving beings who care deeply for our wellbeing.  If you’re not sure how your spirit guides may have helped you, here are a few real stories below to demonstrate their connection.

A dear friend of mine’s sister Mary had a pesky thought that wouldn’t go away — to check out a house that had just came on the market near her home.  Even though she wasn’t in the looking for a new home, she eventually checked out the home to bring peace to her thoughts.  When she visited the house, she discovered that the agent representing the property was an old friend from high school.  They began hanging out together, started dating and eventually married.

One day, a client of mine, John, had a nagging feeling to drive into work instead of taking the train into the city following his regular routine. When he arrived, he discovered that his train had collided with another train, and hundreds of passengers were injured.

At a seminar a few years ago, I met a man named Kris who told me a fascinating story about how he avoided a potential health crisis. One day Kris felt an odd pressure in his chest. He wasn’t sure if what he felt was anxiety or a heath problem. After a couple of weeks, the odd feeling persisted and he told a friend about his mysterious symptoms. Kris’s friend shared a memorable meeting she had just a week ago with a wonderful cardiologist and that she felt he should go and see that doctor. Kris was surprised by his friend’s comment because he had no intention of seeing a specialist for the peculiar sensation. But he couldn’t stop thinking about his friend’s recommendation, and after a few weeks made an appointment. The doctor examined his heart and found no obvious abnormalities, but decided anyway to do an echo-cardio gram (an ultrasound of the heart). The physician was surprised when the ultra sound showed a small growth near Kris’s aorta, which was applying sporadic pressure. The specialist was thrilled Kris had sought out medical attention early because the benign growth could be easily removed. He also expressed surprise that Kris had symptoms because the tumor was too small to be felt.

Trivial feelings, thoughts and annoyances such as these are many times nudges from your guides who want to steer you to a better place, a situation that is aligned with your true desires, many of which originated before you came to earth. Not only are your spirit guides doing their best to communicate in a way you’ll understand so you’ll take positive action– they also communicate to your friends, family and professionals you meet along the way.  In the last example, the friend and cardiologist made choices because of the spirit guides powerful nudging.  Guides work together to help us solve problems and through that remain dedicated to the evolution of the entire human race.

You maybe asking yourself right now (or yelling at this newsletter) what about a person who is injured in a train crash, or who didn’t go to their physician sooner, or your best, kind, smart friend who is still unhappily single.  Don’t they to have guides?

Yes, of course they do. All human beings have guides. Guides live outside our physical reality and possess the ability to see the big picture of human life–from things happening in the present moment; to our personal history which we all cling too, and to the future we all want so dearly to hope for.  Guides know why each of us decided to have a lifetime on earth, and they know when we wish to return to the otherside; our true home. For no one leaves our world unless (from a soul’s perspective) they choose too.

Let’s say, for argument sake, you decided to return to planet Earth, a physical place, because you wanted to learn the valuable lesson of unconditional love. Your spirit guides are fully aware of your primary goal, and they, as absolute loving beings, will spirit you along to accomplish it.

Some people learn to listen to tranquil thoughts, or to those which at first glance seem useless, and take them as signs of their spirit guides directing them toward a change that will prove to be priceless in their lives.

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,

An answer to a question in the December Newsletter said to stay in your body – how do you do this?  I do leave my body and if I knew when it was happening, I would stop.

Please help.
Marcia

Hi Marcia,

Staying in ones body is an art form, and an important part of energy medicine. The term grounded, is represented by the first chakra, and is actualized in the moment. When our energy is in the body we activate the first chakra, a foundational vortex that helps us become present.  Start by asking yourself questions as to why you don’t want to be grounded. Many times we avoid the amazing process of awareness of our existence because we don’t want to know what is really happening in our lives. If were present we might feel the need to change something fundamental in our lives. Many times we avoid change because change always begins inward before it’s reflected outwardly.

There are some lovely exercises in chapter 2 of Intuitive Self-Healing. One of them only takes one minute a day, which I have added below.

One-Minute Grounding
My favorite exercise to help you ground can be done anywhere and in one minute. Its origin is based in Native American tradition.

1. Remove your shoes.

2. Stomp around your house or outdoors (outdoors is best) barefoot.

      3. Make your hands into fists.

4. Punch your fists toward the earth as you stomp.

5. Say this phrase out loud while stomping: “I deserve to be here, and I live here in joy!”

6. Stomp for one minute, every day.

 ♥ Marie

Dear Marie,

Can anything be done intuitively/energy healing for reading disorders?

Kelly

Dear Kelly,

I read your question when you first sent it, at least a month ago, and it reminded me of a dear friend who often tells me that she has dyslexia. An affliction my mother also proclaims to be troubled by. However, I see both of these women as strong, intelligent, successful and unique individuals. If indeed they do have this disorder I think they are fortunate to see the world differently. I believe their approach to the world and life style choices have been catalysts for others to celebrate the unusual. If you can, appreciate your (or someone you love) individuality. Energy work may help a person see the part of their life they wish would change differently. A shift in perception can also enhance our experience here on earth.

Love,
Marie

Dear Marie,

I am a Reiki Master who has been volunteering at a local cancer center for more than two years offering free Reiki sessions to patients and their caregivers.

I have a question. Do you feel that placing hands on a patient who just came out of a radiation session (they are often still are ‘warm’) poses any harm to the PHYSICAL body of the practitioner?

If so, are there any related protocols (for practitioners) that you would suggest?

Thank you so much for all you do. You are wonderful.

Bette

Dear Bette,

What a good question. As an oncology nurse we had no protocols for patients returning from radiation onto the floor. We had MANY protocols for those receiving chemotherapy. I haven’t been in a hospital for 12 years now so guidelines may have changed. However, radiation treatments dramatically changed, when technology became precise in terms of radiating a location rather than systemically. What I would recommend is to use your intuition. Perhaps a patient might need a little down time before receiving energy work. Or you may feel the need to move energy in their body in preparation for a treatment. If your body isn’t interested in treating someone (especially post treatment) then I would listen to your needs. You can always return to a patient a few hours or days later.

I hope this is helpful and thank you SO much for all you do in the world!

♥ Marie

Dear Marie,

I was fascinated by your interview on Sound True regarding Guardian Spirits.  I have felt mine from time to time and I was wondering how I could go about becoming closer to this spirit.  I would like to know him/her better i.e., name, origins, etc. Is there anything you can tell me about this?  Thank you!

Sincerely,
Sharon

Dear Sharron,

I’m glad you enjoyed the interview.  I love Tami’s energy! Luckily your guides won’t care what you call them. They only want you to choose a name (with their help) that sings to your heart. That way, when you call on them, the emotion the name evokes within you will alert them to your need. I would recommend taking a bath with candlelight. Get really relaxed and call in your guides. Close your eyes and move into a meditative space. Then ask your guides to show you their name. Take whatever comes that feels good. Feelings are the best way the universe communicates with us. Feelings of fear are not about intuition and intuition is generally very spontaneous.  Enjoy, and let me know how it goes.

Love,
Marie

Thank you for diving deeper into your awareness, no mater how hard or scary it seems, and allowing me to be apart of your growth!  It has been an honor. May our next year together light fire to our world and blaze an uncommon path!

Love,
Marie

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!

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.
