Through visualization and healing practices, I finally began to understand (and benefit from!) manifestation—and had some amazing experiences.
The message my guides had been giving to me was one of trust and of not trying so hard to make things happen. I was burning out. (Clearly, I hadn’t heeded that message well.) With the pandemic, I started to see things differently. I softened my stance. I saw better than ever before how the fates of all people are interwoven. The desire and urge to struggle receded within me.
A shift in mental energy can make a huge difference in how you feel (and vice versa). And then both shifts work toward affecting even the energies around you. It’s so true—but so very hard to believe and remember in our cynical world—that living a life that makes us happy can change the world, starting with us.
We influence the world tremendously by living a life that makes us happy. I found myself unhappy but finally realized I was the source of unhappiness, by keeping myself in a “devil you know” situation. I had already created a plan for how to get out of this situation; [to get happy,] I simply need to follow the plan.
We’re in a storm that I have no control over, and so I’m angry. My guides tell me that I should control what I can, to help myself be less fearful and angry. If what I try isn’t successful, let it be, as something I can’t control.
When I asked them what I needed to heal, my guides told me, “You resist, without even knowing. The way to stop resisting is to be in your body instead of always thinking of everything else. … Do your part, and we will do ours.”
Holy crap, this sounds ridiculous to my logical mind! But my whole body feels different right now. … And I’m feeling the tears that always accompany recognition of Truth with a capital T.
When “confronted with a clear reflection of what is hidden” in myself, “what must be exposed and examined before right action can be undertaken, I must do my best to do what I can, be patient, and simply wait for others to do their parts.
“Be patient with what is unfolding in your own life. Strength requires perseverance, courage, and productivity blended with a faith in yourself, and in Great Spirit’s divine plan. Accept the responsibilities coming your way by drawing upon your inner reserve of strength.”
Stay in the channel you’re in, but when life seems out of control, prepare to chart a new course. And ask what you can do in each moment to improve your life.
