Teachers open the door, but you must enter by yourself.

You have the key to your mind and your spirituality, but you have to be aware of who you give it to.  We all need many teachers.  It is part of how we learn how to create and respect our own journey.  We cannot accomplish this by comparing ourselves to others who are on their journey, but only focus on where our journey will take us. 

Recently I have had clients come to me with a new problem I wanted to address and share.  They are entrusting the keys to their mind to just anybody.  Most people are well intentioned and loving.  If they want to teach Spirituality it is not because they are mean and egotistically, it generally means their heart is in the right place.  Ask your teacher who their teachers are.  Ask questions.  Do they offer a money back guarantee?  If they won’t stand behind their work, why should you?  I have seen too many times where people have read a book or two, watched a TV show, took a class online or even took one class in person, start teaching.  What are they teaching you exactly?  They are teaching you everything, including their limitations, their fears and their mistakes.  Nobody is perfect, but teaching is very different than experiencing.    There is a surge of Spirituality on our planet right now, and it is so beautiful.  I love seeing people love and learn.  What I do not love is having clients having to come to see me after experiencing something they cannot understand or been guided into fear.

I wanted to share with you some of the things clients have come in with and some suggestions for them that can help you as well if you are not able to come in and see one of our pre-screened, proven and guaranteed staff.

Mediumship Issues

People being TOLD what their gifts are instead of learning for themselves what they are.  Problem is you are doing what THEY are doing not what you are meant to be doing and this sometimes makes it worse because you are going against a natural grain of your life path.  Just because something works does not make it good for you.   Smokers say that smoking helps people relax, by poisoning them.  Great. What helps is to build up trust with your unique fingerprint. Appreciate that your gift is your gift and not meant to be like another’s.   You can only build trust by using it.  Practice.

Ego Issues

I hear it all the time not to let your ego get in the way.  You question is it them or me?  I have had students come in and be told that their own voice is their ego and to ignore it.  My question to them was that if Spirit is trying to talk to you and you are not present, how could there be a conversation?  They were taught to ignore their input and their growth.  Yes you will question, yes you will doubt, it is so they can expand the knowledge and give you more.  Every good teacher invites more questions.  As a result I have seen people SHUT DOWN their intuition instead of opening up the conversation.  You have to be there in this friendship or else it is a dictatorship.  You have free will, so they will never work one-sided.  Stay present; you are exactly where you are supposed to be.  Your inner voice and higher self is not your EGO that should be shunned and placed in a vault. 

Past Life Issues

Being left half in half out of a past life, bringing back the fears of a past life, making up false past lives with another person to make you feel better, awakening something without knowing how to put it to sleep in peace and confusion.  These are all issues that clients have come to me by seeing somebody they did not research well enough.  If you have had these things happen to you, I suggest the following.  Place your right hand over your heart.  Your right is for giving.  I want to give back what is no longer yours in this moment.  Take a few deep breathes and ask that all cellular memory from all lives, past, present and future be removed.  Take a few more deep breaths and you can imagine butterflies, flowers, or even smoke leaving your body.  Stay here till they are all gone.  You will not see them fly out of you physically and some may even have trouble seeing it in their head.  Just imagine it, it is ok.  Take a few deep breaths of white light.  See yourself breathing in and OUT this white light from your source and smile!  Please feel free to contact us if you need more support.

Manifestation Issues: “I asked for it and it never worked”

If you are not taught the truth behind desire, you will only create a mask and draw doubt and fear to you.  For some they want to manifest money because it makes them feel safe.  They make a vision board or light candles and recite affirmations yet nothing comes.  What the problem is that they asked to feel safe.  We know that not all people with money are safe and happy.  It is an illusion you are asking to create, so you are indeed creating an illusion.  You are taught bits and pieces.  You are shown a piece of the puzzle and expected to design the Mona Lisa out of scrap. 

It is my humble opinion that anything you want to manifest comes down to six basic human needs that are never met by materialistic things.  Each thing that is in the material world comes down to these basic human needs:

• Growth
• Significance
• Variety
• Connection
• Contribution
• Certainty

Many times you will find you have them and you have been ungrateful for them.  When you are manifesting from a place of ungratefulness we are creating more things to be ungrateful for.  You will find you have always been provided the opportunity to have these things in your life but at times have chosen to say no to them.  For instance, if you feel insecure because your partner left you; you could choose to see it as a new start or dead in the water.  The choice is yours what you create and focus on!  Manifesting a strong sense of self instead of another partner to replace the void you feel is not for your highest spiritual growth.  Are you focusing on lack while you manifest and then create lack?  Congratulations you are a great manifestor!

Stay tuned, as I will continue this blog another day.  If you have some questions or comments you would like me to include in the next one, please feel free to contact me at info@thehomeofom.ca, Attention: Angel Rogers

Namaste,

Are You Crushing Spirit Guide Messages With Doubt?

I help people connect to their Spirit Guides all the time.  Clients are always surprised how easy it is with me and how it affects them.  Some get goose bumps, some cry, some just have a satisfied sense of knowledge and others look around not sure why they suddenly knew all the answers.  They asked to know something, were given the answers, and then doubt the validity of it because it was not shrouded in secret or shame.

Do not throw away what you have been seeking because you did not have to work hard for it or ask ten different people for the answer.  It is as silly as holding your breath because breathing in and out is unassisted and natural to you. 

Who are your Spirit Guides?  They are spirits that have crossed over that you have invited to walk with you on this plane.  What we need to remember is that every soul born here has one.  You do not need to worry about somebody being lost or “asleep” because their guides are with them as well.  They are on their path and their path is not your path.  Do not judge another’s journey.  We have free will.  Your guides cannot go against your free will, even if your free will is to dismiss their presence.

Lets do a quick exercise.  It is important that you answer the question before you continue reading.  Simply ask your guide to communicate with you.  There is no need for special crystals, meditation or prayer, although they all can help, they are not the driving force.   Simply pick 1, 2 or 3.  Ask your guide to help you.  It is all right if you do not know them, they know you.   Pick the first number that pops into your head even if you are unsure.

If you picked one, your guide is a friend from another life.

If you picked two, your guide is a family member from a past life

If you picked three, your guide is a mentor here to teach you that you have invited in that you may have known before or is new to you.

How many guides do you have?  This is personal and different for us all depending on our journey.  Your guides can change as you grow and learn.  Think back in school, you had different teachers along the way.  When you passed and went to another grade the old teacher was not bad or disappeared, they were busy teaching others that needed to know what they had to teach.  You got a new teacher.  If you ever had a question the previous teacher was still there to answer questions for you and be your friend.  You do have a main guide that is yours through your whole life.  I suggest that is the guide you connect to first because you can build up a friendship with them so you can understand how they communicate better and better. 

Some will tell you that you can only have a certain amount of guides, just bless them that somebody limited them.  Go to a library and some say you can only take out 6 books, your library you can take out as many as you need because there is no fear you will lose the book, damage it or not return it!  All knowledge is yours for the asking.  Let’s just say I take out a lot of books.  Have you ever taken out a book or bought a book really excited about reading it, then never really did?  Or did you read a few chapters and life got in the way?  Did you used to love reading but then got too busy and the book was put aside for the reality of your life?  Are you a reader who forgot to make reading important?

The Difference between your own mind and a guide speaking to you.

• Your mind is dismissive, Guides mind is constant
• Your mind tells you different things, Guides mind is consistent
• Your mind tells you that you cant do things, Guides mind tells you that you can
• Your mind tells you how to do things quick, Guides mind tells you how to do it right
• Your mind makes you feel stupid, Guides mind teaches you with love
• Your mind protects yourself, Guides mind reminds us of oneness
• Your mind tells you there is not enough, Guide mind reminds of abundance
• Your mind fills you with doubt, Guides mind fills you with curiosity
• Your mind reacts, Guides mind responds
• Your mind holds you back, Guides mind brings you forward

These are just a few examples of how you can tell the difference.  Basically what it comes down to is your mind fills you with doubt and your guides support you.  It does not mean that they are always rainbows and sunshine.  They still help support you to be a better person but never out of shame or a sense of lack.  It is always by awakening and shining light on the beautiful parts of you your mind said to forget.

How to connect with them.  First you have to invite them in.  Make sure you invite guides of only the highest white light guides.  You can call on guides you don’t know.  If you are learning something new, ask for a guide to help you.  When I was doing math when I was in high school I was asking Einstein to help me.  Darned if the guy did not show up. 

The most important thing is for you to talk to them.  So what if at first you think it is just an imaginary friend you have.  At least this imaginary friend is supportive, linked to love and creation and knows you are worthy of great things.   Your imaginary friend that you call your mind is just mean to you a lot of the times.  If you are going to have an imaginary friend, might as well be a nice one right?  Name them.  Whatever you want to name them, name them.  It is all right.  I remember when I first started and sat in a circle with people that had been doing it for a long time and they said their guide’s names were “ Running White Buffalo”, “Zeron” and “Priestess Albia”.    Imagine my surprise when my guide came through and just said “ Joe”.  Mine was not this mystical “powerful” name, but my Joe.  He was so cute, he even apologized that his name was so ordinary.  “ Just your normal Joe”.  Was their guide better than my guide?  That is not a game they play, we do.  I felt warm and fuzzy and like a friend walked into a room.  Do not judge, observe.   

It is ok if you get it “wrong” at first.  They will help you along the way.  I called one Guide Pierre for 6 months because he said he was from France.  He told me later his name was Jean Claude.  I asked him why he did not correct me before and informed me that the name did not matter and the soul has no name but ONE.  Beautiful.  See, my mind, I got it wrong, his mind, it did not matter.  My imaginary friend of the mind told me I was bad and took confidence from me, his mind gave me acceptance.

Once you start talking to them like they are real, they become real.  You will notice that sometimes when your mind is busy asking a question, there is a sense of knowledge in the back of your head that already answered the question.  You will start to become aware of the split seconds of time difference between you creating an answer and you observing an answer.  This is best to do talking out loud because your brain uses more neurons and goes into a meditative mode when listening. 

Some tools that can help.  It is no secret that I love crystals.  They work with the energy of your body and balance it out with the energy of the crystal.  They work on an electromagnetic field that we all have.  There is no way crystals cannot work and it actually takes more energy for you to believe they don’t work then to allow them to work.  Think how much energy it would take to block a stream than to let it flow.  You can search the Internet and it will tell you others opinions of what works for them.  It is important to know what works for your connection.  To get you started I am going to name a few that work well for my students and clients.

Ametrine-  I love this crystal because it is a combination of amethyst and citrine.  It will allow your crown chakra to open up with purpose and clarity but also let your self worth and self-esteem be positive about believing it.  Citrine is also a cleansing stone so will make sure that your affirmation of light is always in your mind.

Clear Quartz-  This is the closest crystal frequency to the human frequency and the most abundant on the planet.  Coincidence?  I also like this crystal because it cleanses out all chakras and allows you to start fresh with your connection.  Most people already have a piece and if they do not it is a very inexpensive crystal to get started with.

Rose Quartz-  Is a stone of universal love.  It is a stone that also balances out all chakras and helps you believe you are one with this love of the universe and your creator.  Again it is available everywhere and is an inexpensive crystal.  Things do not have to be expensive or large to work.  Do not get caught up in it.  Buy what you can afford and know Spirit does not care about money, but of intent. 

There are stones that are of higher and more intense vibration for those that are more experienced like:

• Moldavite- connection to universal energy.  Great for cosmic guides.  INTENSE.
• Apotholite and Celestite to connect to the Angelic realm
• Pink Kunzite -is a new favourite as it releases the wall around your heart and stimulates healing connection between your mind and your heart with your guide.
• Amethyst – opens the crown chakra to higher knowledge and energies.

Your connection to your guide is a gift.  Somebody trying to give you it is like somebody stealing your watch from you then giving it to you as a gift.  We can remind you that you are wearing a watch, help you find it, but never give you what is already yours.  You are not alone.  You never were.  Nobody is alone.  Talk to them, invite them in and start a friendship that will change how you see your reality.

Namaste,
