New Mantra for Me; Maybe for You Too?

Hello all!



While at the Historical Spiritualist Camp, Camp Wonewoc, in Wisconsin, I learned a lot about myself. I did some dealing and healing. I did some soul searching. I opened up more spiritually and professionally. Oh, and I even helped some other people to do the same (I think)! :)



Whether you're a psychic, intuitive, healer, medium, sensitive, or any other type of spiritual person / title, maybe a new matra that I have taken on for myself will help you as well.



I used to get so nervous before readings. (Yes, even though I've done hundreds of them.) The problem was, I was so motivated to give everyone the best possible reading. I wanted to help as many people as possible and be as accurate as possible. Now, this doesn't SOUND like a problem. It's a good thing, right? Well, yes, except that I learned something very important:



One day, my guides nearly slapped me in the face with an epiphany. They told me, "STOP taking responsibility for what comes through in a reading. Stop stressing yourself out. Coming up with the information and the messages is NOT YOUR JOB! You're just the channel. you're just the messenger. You show up and do THAT job, and we'll handle the rest!"



Wow, what a lesson in surrender and letting go of ego. They were right. I took the advice and it made my days up there (doing back-to-back half our sessions) much easier. It also made me a more clear channel, and it kicked up my accuracy even more. It was so freeing to not worry about what I was going to say to people. I took on a new mantra that's been working well for me, and I'll share it with you.



One of my guides said simply, "Open your heart and let God speak." During my meditation before readings, I imagine opening little doors over my heart chakra and I affirm aloud, "I open my heart, and I let God speak."



I'm not the one speaking. I'm not the one that has to give people spiritual insight or information that will help them in their lives. That's The Universe's job. By worrying about whether what I passed along would be good enough, I was doubting my faith. I was doubting the Divine. Duh, how ridiculous! :) I was already doing well, but was so stressed out by wanting to make sure that everything was perfect and that people walked away with what they needed. By learning to surrender to the Higher Powers, I was able to be completely at peace.



People continued to walk away with what they intuitively came for, and even more, and I was able to simply enjoy the process. For this, I am truly grateful.



I just wanted to share this in case there was anyone out there that might be able to learn from it and grow to trust themselves and the Universe's messages a little more.



Love Always,

My Take on Destiny vs. Free Will

I received the following question in an email and thought I would include it and my response in a blog in case others have the same question. In reviewing what I wrote, I did add some more information:


QUESTION: “If you don't mind me asking a question; If nothing is written in stone and we have free will, then why does the spirit tell [us] for example "So-and-so will be married. He is the one!" Then he changes his mind. Well, isn't Spirit suppose to know ahead of time that he changed his mind? It makes me wonder if a reader perhaps can read the energy at that time only…”


MY REPLY: You are asking a SUPER intricate question, and I will do my very best to answer it. I've often thought the same thing. I do know that when we're reading psychic energy, we ARE reading how things are set to be at that moment in time. It's like taking a photograph of your future and describing the details as they are. However, free will does change things. When Spirit gives messages, during mediumship, then I'd assume that, YES, they know how it will play out. So a psychic reads the energy. A medium relays messages from outside sources. A psychic medium, like me, does both. Tricky, huh? LOL



This also brings into play the competition between free will and Destiny. I do believe that some things ARE destined to happy regardless of which road we choose to take to get there (the free will part). Some would say, “Well then that can't be free will if it's destined.” However, consider that we used our free will BEFORE we incarnated to make the decision about what our destiny WOULD BE during this lifetime. So we still had free will, it was simply exercised long before and that option may not be open anymore because we already played the free will card. So we already USED free will in that situation.


Also, sometimes (in a reading) things will feel more set in stone to me, and then I figure that whatever actions were needed to make that event happen have already been taken, and so it's going happen regardless. Whenever something feels LESS set in stone, and I feel like the ball is in one person's court or they have total control, then I have to assume that they have not yet done the actions to set the event into motion. At this point, the outcome is more easily controlled or changed, and that’s, in my opinion, the best time to get the spiritual heads-up.


If we look at it from this perspective, then it may also make it a little easier to understand why Spirit tells us some things and not others. In the case where everything is set in stone or destined, and maybe it’s best for us not to know because there’s not a THING that can be done to change the situation, perhaps Spirit will tell us nothing. Would it do any good to know that you’d be divorced from your husband in three years? Perhaps a three years that WOULD HAVE been good and filled with happy memories would instead turn into a miserable three years of stress, worry, and irritation. The only change then that COULD HAVE BEEN made, would be one that would be harmful to you. I do believe that Spirit and our Higher Selves do offer protection for us against some things in life. For the person who says, “Well, again, if Spirit withholds the information,that is interfering with our free will again.” Okay, fair enough. If that’s not how it works, then perhaps it is our Higher Selves exercising our free will by blocking the reception of such a message. Regardless of how it works, there is protection of our psyche, heart, soul, and future at play.


I even believe that we could take that a step further and say that Spirit may even refuse information based on the fact that we COULD change it, and that the outcome if we do is not in our best interest, and so it’s kept a secret so that we stay out of what’s already in the works. Lastly, consider that we are here to live life. We are here to exist as human experiencing the human experience. If we walked around every day with our plan for that day already laid out in a handy notebook full of which moves to make, which moves not to make, and every event that was on the way, how could we POSSIBLY learn anything? If we can’t learn, how can we grow as humans and evolve as souls? Remember that our spiritual evolution is the goal here. Some information may HELP the evolutionary process, ESPECIALLY if someone is opening up spiritually and energetically to God and the mysteries of the Universe, and maybe that is why some information is more easily accessible than other top-secret files! A last note here: Some things are simply more fun as surprises. Having the ALL the answers could make us miss out on incredible emotions and some of the happiest moments and surprises that await us during our human journey. (Certainly, this doesn’t mean that you won’t have a heads-up about some of those things. You’re exercising free will in asking.) Again, tricky business!



Please understand that this is only one medium’s perspective on all of this (mine). I’ve given it based on my personal beliefs and experiences. I also feel that I was guided in my answer. However, I encourage you to take what I’ve said and explore for yourselves. What do you think? More importantly, what do you FEEL? Psychism and spirituality are not an exact science. These things come to our attention and are integrated into our learning through trial and error. I encourage you to experience and learn with your heart and with your soul rather than trying to rationalize everything with the mind. Not that the mind’s analysis is a bad thing, because it’s not, but just make sure you’re getting BOTH sides of the experience, as balance is key in all things.



I hope this helps.



Love,

Open Your Heart and Let God Speak

The Meaning of DEATH in Dreams


The Symbolism / Meaning of Death in Dreams:



I've had several people tell me recently that they have had dreams of dying or of loved ones dying. I, myself, had a dream of my own death just a few nights ago. I know these dreams are pretty common, but I have to wonder if there is something going on astrologically or on a larger scale that is inspiring or causings these death dreams.

Anyhow, dying in a dream typically denotes the end of something or someone. However, this is rarely a literal "end." Instead, it is usually a symbolic "end." So, if you dream of your own death, you are quite possibly dreaming about the end to the "you" that you have been up until that point, or the end to a part of yourself or a phase in your life. Whenever there is death, there is rebirth. So this end to the old you or this aspect of yourself gives way to the NEW you, or part of you, that is ready to be born!

What if the death in the dream is a murder? Well, this could be interpreted to mean that the end to that person as they are, the aspect of that person (such as their unhealthy co-dependence in a relationship or denial of the spiritual self), or a certain experience is at the hands of another person. So either another person is responsible for this happening or you FEEL that another person is to blame. However, if this is a good thing causing change, then that person is really a catalyst for a positive outcome!

To give an example: A woman contact me very upset, frantic really, because she'd had a dream that her child had been murdered by a family member. I helped this woman interpret her dream to see that it was really about how she felt that this family member had forever changed her child in a way that was irreversable, (since death is final; there's no changing it). (I encouraged her to help her child take this opportunity to reinvent himself and discover his own personal beliefs and grow from/with them.)

So, quite often the death dream is viewed as a horribly terrifying experience when, in actuality, it could be a very positive message: A NEW BEGINNING! Get ready to get creative and build something new! Enjoy the experience :).

I hope this has been helpful!

The Volcanic Eruption Within DOES Bring Peace...

I wrote this in an email to someone and realized that there are others who feel the same types of pain, loss, and isolation. We're all here going through the same things. Hopefully this will speak to some and help them to find peace....

****************************

...Never lose hope. As a spiritually evolved person, you know that there is rhyme and reason to EVERYTHING that you create for yourself in your lifetime. Perhaps it's time to look at the situtations you've been through and where you're at now. Can you find patterns? What seems to be the underlying theme in the trials of your life?

I'm personally going through a MAJOR healing process of my own right now too. I have to look back at the events that have brought me the most pain. I then allow myself to FEEL that pain, that anger, that sadness.... Whatever my spirit needs. (We are spiritual beings having a human experience, after all... Denying ourselves our right to experience does NO GOOD. Denial is NO GOOD all the way around, actually!) After that, I trust that it's being thrown in my face over and over again so that I'll LOOK at it. I know that I can't ignore the pain. So, we look at it and find out what's the common thread?

What do these separate events have in common? I can see several commonalities in mine. Once you've done that, then ask yourself this: "Okay, if these are the common themes, what am I supposed to learn from them? What were these events supposed to teach me? I didn't plan this pain all for nothing!" The trick is not to let the suffering be wasted. Once you can find and accept how these things have added to making you a stronger, more beautiful spirit, the pain will begin to subside and you're on the road to healing!

WARNING: The process WILL initially intensify the pain. You may find yourself digging up things you've been busily ignoring in your everyday life for years! When it comes up, it's like a volcanic eruption! However, after a volcano erupts, the fire does cool, and so will the pain. It's an intense experience that will act as a catalyst for peace within. (Hey, healing is hard work, but it's very much worth the process!) Just be aware that you're likely to become more moody, sensitive, and more easily triggered by events that remind you of your pain than before. However, at this point, you're out of denial and making progress. It won't stay that way and you'll start to feel the weight lift from you. You'll know you're headed in the right direction!

I urge you to go to the videos section [of our website- http://geminirose.ning.com] and watch the Neale Donald Walsch ones. If you only watch one, I suggest the "God Says Yes" one. (I think it was the first one added.) When I speak in my daily life, or when I'm thinking about life, or when I'm praying; I imagine what Neale talks about in his brief video. I imagine that God agrees and says "yes" to everything that I'm thinking/saying. "My life is falling apart..." and God says, "Yes, Gem, you're right. It is!" If I say, "Nothing ever goes right!" Spirit agrees, "I know.... That's true..." On the other hand, if I affirm "My life is beautiful and I'm surrounded in love", God replies, "Oh yes, you are!" "Everything always works out okay in the end..." I'll hear "Yes it does.... and it will..." It really puts things into perspective, because then I KNOW that I'm going to really GET whatever I am choosing to create at that moment.

I wish you all the very best in your travels to a more peaceful life both within yourself and in your surrounding experiences. One affects the other, and YOU create it all...


Love,
Gem

The Path of the Wounded Healer

Life’s wounds come in so many shapes and sizes. Some are the light scratches of the surface that represent our minor battles. Some are the painful echoes of hateful words flung in the passion of anger. Others stay with us forever as the permanent scars reminding us of victimization at the hands of another. Often there are the tears to the heart from love after love after love gone wrong. Our psyche suffers nicks to our pride and self-concept due to ridicule, unfair judgment by others, and not being accepted in some part of society. There even exist actual gaping holes due to neglect which are only filled with more emptiness from not receiving enough compassion or kindness. More wounds are then created when we attempt to fill these voids with substances and addictions that only hollow us out more. The fire of our own selfishness, hate, and fury directed at ourselves and at others leaves us with severe burns.

Every single one of us has our own wounds. We have the stories to each little cut, bruise, and blister. Some of us carry all, or at least most, of these- from the very minor to the near fatal. This is the human experience. We are meant to meet adversity, suffer, problem solve, and overcome. Without these, there can be no healing. Without healing there’s no learning, and if there’s no learning, there can be no spiritual evolvement.

Spiritual growth is the goal. Taking our collective consciousness to the next level in order to bring peace, love, and harmony to the human race is a necessity. There are many who have battled and lost. They have fought and suffered pain and grief because of it. There are those whose light shines so brightly that it makes them a target to the dark that wishes to stifle the beams meant to illuminate us all. Yet, they keep charging forward. They do not lay down the sword and shield and give in to the misery that would consume them. They do not allow their attacker’s blows to send them to the ground for long. Instead, they smile and charge forward armed with faith to carry out a mission of protecting, healing, and teaching others who have suffered as they.


This is the path of the wounded healer.
