Ive just been listening to Wayne Dyers audio cd about The Power of Intention. He has some good points that have totally changed the way I see Free Will.

He says : “At any moment in time all spirit is concentrated at the point where you focus your own intention.

Therefore you can consolidate all creative energy at a given moment in time, this is called your Free Will at work.”

He says that Universal mind is in your divine mind AND your free will.

Isnt this what some of us call Co-creation?

This got me thinking.

I saw Free Will as this naughty child who was defying her parent, like a brat having a tantrum – I WANNA DO IT MY WAY!!!!

And after so long doing it on your own you give in and say to your parents, ok, I’ve had enough, let’s do it your way, as if I’ve been bad for trying it out my way, and it didn’t work.

I saw my part as somehow being misguided. Sure I want what I want, but if I could only let go and go with the flow about what the Universe wants for me, then I will be happy, on track, life would be easier.

I never saw my free will as being a part of the divine universe. It felt like if I applied my free will then I was treading water or swimming upstream and needed to let go so I could flow down stream.

In some teachings we are lead to believe that the Universe doesn’t have any impact on our free will, but unless you are totally egotistical or travelling a journey of darkness, how can it not?

Call it a paradox, or a dichotemy, but the two can co-exist simultaneously, finally I get what co-creating means.

It’s not all my way and being egotistical and hard work, or all the Universe’s way where I feel like a rudderless ship blown wherever tides and winds take me.

Just call me Captain, setting sail where I want to go but knowing I can use the winds to my advantage!!

Last night I read this article that prompted alot of thought in me. Too bad it was at 4am lol. It got me to think, on your journey do you see yourself as flawed and needing to heal the wounded parts as best you can, or do you see yourself as whole but cant quite see through your misperception?

A lighthouse image came to mind. Where the light is focused on one area at a time, but while focused on that one area, the other areas are in darkness.

It doesn’t mean they aren’t there because you can’t see them, does it?

So what if we are whole, but we just can’t see all of us because our focus isn’t on all of us.

So all the characteristics that you wish you were, but can’t see, you are those characateristics, you just haven’t shone your light and focus on those parts yet.

I don’t believe we can see characteristics, good and bad, in others, if they aren’t a part of ourselves. After all, life is all projection. What we see out there is what is in us.

So are you your own Lighthouse Keeper? Where are you shining your light? On the parts you know you have and you keep wishing they weren’t there?

How about moving that light around a bit and shining it on the other areas you haven’t acknowledged are there yet?

I’ve grappled with the impact of past lives for a while until I came to Soul Realignment. I’m not disputing that they exist, but more so that they still affect us.

I was always under the impression that whatever we brought through from a Past Life would be recreated in this lifetime and we can stay in this lifetime to heal it.

But not so.

It’s mindboggling though to think of all the blocks we could have brought through from Past Lives. The further we go back in time I think the harder life would have been, harder surviving conditions. But I suppose thats just from a human perspective, from a Soul perspective we have alot more choice about what we were born into, and the lessons we were learning.

Often times if you have an area of your life that you’ve tried alot of modalities to heal, it will probably have its origins in a Past Life.

As we aren’t victims, there will be reasons at a Soul level that we have chosen to not let those experiences and pain go, perhaps we made a contract or vow to someone, or God, and we feel we still owe it to that Soul to keep our side of the debt going. Perhaps we feel if we let it go it will come back to bite us on the butt. Perhaps we haven’t paid off our karma yet.

Often alot of phobias will have their origins in Past Lives, the sticky ones that modalities like EFT dont clear.

As we incarnate with our Soul Group, it stands to reason that the people around us who are dear to us, will trigger up unresolved memories from these lives.

In Soul Realignment we don’t go back to Past Lives for information sake, just to be nosey, we go back to heal those blocks and restrictions that are still impacting us today. Why we can’t seem to move forward in a certain area of our lives, why some people just irritate us and we can’t work out why. Why it’s hard to let some people go. Why we have birthmarks in certain places.

Looking into the Akashic Records is the way I review these Past Lives and what is needed for your next layer of healing.

I mean sure, we know that forgiveness is for us, and not the other person, it frees us, but HOW do you actually do it? It’s not a case of saying, -I forgive you – just giving it lip service. Empty words.

How do you honestly mean it?

How do you forgive yourself?

I think forgiveness is the key to moving forward from the past to the future. It just stops things eating you up.

One of the fastest techniques I think, to get me there and create the shift to be able to forgive, to bring the focus back to me and not on what the other person did to me…

is Ho’oponopono….an ancient Hawaiian practise meaning reconciliation and forgiveness.

In 1976 Morrnah Simeona a Kahuna, adapted the healing tradition into a modern day practise and it has been brought to the west by Dr Hew Len. He has an amazing background, he healed a ward of criminally insane patients over 4 years using this technique. Google his name.

The essence of ho’oponoponpo is:

I’m sorry, please forgive me, I love you, Thank You.

Its a mantra we say over, meaning peace begins with us.

Dr Hew believes that if we take 100% responsibility for what we experience in life then we can go onto the next step where we say I’m sorry, please forgive me, I love you, Thank you.

We are in essence saying to the divine in us, I’m sorry for whatever it is in me that caused this. I’m 100% responsible so please convert all memories, blocks, debts, errors problems to nothing.

So if its in our experience, it is in us. If it shows up in our lives then we are responsible otherwise it wouldn’t show up.

100% responsiblity does not mean that it is our fault or we are to blame, but that we can only heal ourselves, we can’t heal another. But by healing ourselves we do our part for the collective consciousness and so therefore we are healing others.

If we are 100% responsible for the way we perceive the world, then in turn we will shift our perception and the world will change.

The way I see it also, is that we carry everyone in our lives inside ourselves. They may be out of our lives now but we still carry them within us energetically. I think starting off releasing ourselves from this person within us is a great start, its much easier to do than thinking we are giving the actual person permission to carry on hurting us like they did in the past.

Another technique you might want to try also is, each night for two weeks in bed, think of all the things you wish for yourself, great health, alot of money, great relationships, and then wish that for the person you cant feel you can forgive. Because what we can’t give to others we can’t allow for ourselves in our own lives.

An earthbound spirit is pretty easy to define. A ghost not as clear cut.

An earthbound spirit is here for a number of reasons. They are either trapped here on this plane, not able to cross over because they lack the energy to do so, or they stay here through fear of some kind of punishment if they do cross over, if they were traumatised in anyway like a violent death or if theyve just lost their way and dont know how to cross over.

There is a difference between a spirit that has crossed over and comes and visits us, and an earthbound spirit. Just because they are here doesn’t mean they are earthbound.

Alot of earthbound spirits are attached to family members. Ive encountered them being attached to a person because they knew them in a past life. Ive come across earthbound spirits attached to entities from past lives or earthbound spirits who are children attached to a child spirit hanging around us. Lots of variables.

Ghosts on the other hand are explained in different ways. Personally I see them as an energetic imprint on the land or property. They do the same thing as if they were a broken record. The place that ghosts are seen are areas that held high emotion at some stage in time, perhaps the scene of a trauma. You can’t interact with a ghost and it doesn’t have a soul or soul facets. Kind of like how if you go into a room after someone has had an arguement and you could cut the air with a knife. The energy has built up over time.

Akasha is sanskrit for space or ether. Its a compendium of knowledge in a non physical plane of existance. It’s like a Universal Library, an energetic database.

The Akashic Records holds all happenings for eternity, through time and space. Mind boggling isn’t it?

These records are closely guarded, not everyone can enter these records, your intention has to be honouable and there are Akashic Records Guides who help protect them.

Sounds all a bit woo-woo but of course not everyone wants to enter them. For more of my adult new age life I thought these records sounded airy fairy, like somewhere out there, not part of my current physical reality so they dont really affect me. But after having my attunement to enter the records I’m finding its not so off the planet as I thought it might be.

My experience entering the records is quite different than the space I am in when I do psychic readings.

There has to be a frame of reference when you enter these records, you cant just go in for information sake, for general curiosity, your intention has to be honourable. i have to ascertain before I go in if Im allowed in to work with someones personal record. Afterall, it is akin to going into someone’s house and noseying through their drawers.

I dont go in there unless Ive been asked by a client, or for ascertaining my own records in relation to other people in my life.

I’m going to start a series on explaining what all the blocks and restrictions that come up in a Soul Realignment Reading.

Here I want to talk about karma.

There are two types of karma. Justified and Unjustified.

Justified karma is karma that is being worked through for the benefit of the soul’s highest path and purpose. We don’t clear justified karma. We can find out more about where this karma originated though, if its from this lifetime or a past life and what the particular life lesson is that goes with this karma.
Remember we are not victims of justified karma, we are working through a soul debt. But we can feel more empowered by knowing a bit more about this karma and what we’re meant to be learning.

Unjustified karma is something we can clear though from our Akashic records. This is where we have worked through the karma but for some reason we are hanging onto the lesson of that karma, probably due to a fear that if we let it go and clear it from our records, then we might get walloped with the same mistake again, so if its active in our record then we wont do that again. But this is like groundhog day when it doesn’t have to be.

We can find out how we are keeping this karma incomplete and it can be cleared.

This question has got to be right up there in popularity that I’m asked daily as a psychic.

I loved that word – soulmate – I used to edit romance novels,it’s that huge hook into the fairytales we were read as children. We will be cocooned in in a nest of love, rescued from all the bad stuff, and everything will be ok from there on in, once he’s by my side, sweeping the path before my every step. I can’t live until he’s here and I can’t live without him. My life has no meaning without him.

Oh I love it!!!

I want that too.

And he cooks and cleans and I don’t have to work and he knows my every thought and cares about how I feel every second of the day. If he’s away from me then he can’t wait to get back to me.

And he’d gladly give up the remote for me.

Reality check!!!!

Waaaaaaaa!!!!!!

I do believe we have a soulmate. In fact I believe we have a few more than one soulmate. I believe we have 7 billion soulmates. And then some.

Everyone on this planet is our potential soulmate.

But that’s not really what my clients are asking, they don’t want a relationship that they have to work at, a relationship that has ups and downs and hardships.

They want to be rescued from what’s going on in their lives right now. They want that romantic love, the euphoria where everything is a chemically induced high of connection, safety and engulfment.

But, chances are our soulmate is going to push our buttons big time, they may even be someone we can’t live with because all our issues are up in our face when we are around them. There is the chance though that if we do the work and grow within the relationship it can be a place of connection and love.

At a soul level we are attracted to people who further our soul growth. From a personality level it might seem too hard going but we’re talking about the evolution of our soul and learning our soul lessons.

You want to do the work, right?

Has this happened to you?

You meet a man, you have so much in common, you finish each other’s sentences, you have a love like no other. You KNOW he feels the same way. You can’t be away from each other. He tells you how he feels, and wants to know how you feel. This is it!! He’s the one. The one you’ve been waiting for. At last you’ve finally found him.

And then……

He wants to spend a night with his mates. He gets overtime at work and asks to do double shifts. There’s a really great football game on TV he wants to watch.

You’re left wondering what hes feeling because he doesn’t share that anymore.

And you notice that his belching after dinner which used to look manly and make you laugh, now seems disgusting, but you grapple with saying anything because you remember how you shared a laugh over it.

And the way he takes up 3/4 of the bed, which used to make you feel wanted and cosy, now makes you feel squashed and annoyed.

So what’s happening?

How could he go from spunk to punk when he was the love of your life?

For the first six months of your relationship your brain is awash with all sorts of chemicals, dopamine particularly, euphoric, as powerful as heroin. You’re so high you dont need alot of sleep or food. You’re blissed out.

Then around the 6 month mark, the dopamine starts to wear off. You both start to look normal in each others eyes again. The things you saw through rose coloured glasses look 3D now and not so inviting. You don’t just see his good qualities, you see what the dopamine didn’t allow you to take notice of.

You could bond with just about any man and the lamp post in this chemically induced state.

Youre also not trying so hard to impress anymore, putting your best foot forward is tiring and you just want to be yourself.

This is where the real work of a relationship begins.

In the early hours one morning I woke bolt awake and seemed to channel this healing method. It was like I was being talked through my own issues. When I wasn’t sure what was happening it was like a voice was guiding me telling me what to do next.

There’s no one way to describe this method and the energy it shifts and the issues it puts to rest. I’m sure as I explore it more, other areas will come to light that it heals. Alot of times we stay stuck in a pattern of wanting, needing, obsessing about what we haven’t got. I know I do.

This method is about completing stuff, it’s about giving yourself what you need or never got. We’re still waiting from childhood for much of what we need, we only want it from *that person*, we don’t feel its good enough to give it to ourselves, it doesn’t meet the need, but what we’re not realising is that we still have the old belief that that person is way more important to us than ourselves, that’s why we needed it from then. It was a matter of survival for us at one stage.

 Change happens on the inside, we don’t need what we wanted from the outside anymore. To our innerself getting what we need on the inside is enough to make changes. It shifts energy.

There are a few twists and turns to this technique. Sometimes getting what we thought we wanted on the inside hits the spot, sometimes it doesn’t. It’s finding out who we really wanted it from.

So rather than walking around like a bottomless pit, this is a way to fill that void, and more importantly move on from the past. It also frees up alot of energy and in turn you create more of the reality you want.
