Afraid to Take a Risk

Thursday July 9, 2009
~ ~ ASK AN INTUITIVE ~ ~

Free Advice from Intuitive Life Coach, Jaelin K. Reece

Dear Jaelin,

I like this girl... a lot... but we've been friends for a while. I want to tell her how I feel but I'm scared that it will ruin the friendship and make things awkward. I need advice on what to do about this because I just don't know. I also have a friend going through this exact problem so PLEASE HELP US!!!

Ryan


Dear Ryan,

I know how difficult it can be to take the risk to express feelings. Life is about taking risks. We are emotional beings and the more we keep the the emotions bottled up inside, the more stressful life becomes.

It is important to communicate how you feel, even if it is somewhat awkward. Remember that you may be missing out on something even more wonderful than the friendship you have now. This is something that happens for everyone. We want to share our feelings to a potential girlfriend or boyfriend, we want to tell our boss how we feel about a problem at work, we want to tell a friend something we don't like about the way they act... the list can go on and on.

What we really don't want to do is create a change or stir the pot of emotions because we are not assured of an outcome. There are no guarantees. There are only opportunities for change. Remember, the only thing in life that never changes, is the fact that everything changes. It is okay to be afraid of the change. However, if you allow the fear to rule you, you will never know how things could be if you face the feelings and do it anyway.

My best wishes to you!

Carnival of Healing: July 4th Edition

Friday July 3, 2009
The Carnival of Healing will be hosted by WP at The Conscious Life tomorrow. What a fun day to host a carnival! I'm wondering if there will be any apple pie, dunking pools, or fireworks!! Okay, so a blog carnival is different from a typical carnival. But, it doesn't mean that our healing carnival doesn't feature goodies. Every Saturday the carnival is filled with a variety of wellness and empowerment topics that feed our souls and ignite our spirits.

What is the Carnival of Healing?

The Carnival of Healing is a weekly round-up of blogs across the Internet featuring information about healing, self empowerment, and spirituality.

Yes, hosting takes some effort sorting through the various submissions and posting the carnival, but all my hosts have told me that the benefits are worth it. Hosting the carnival brings traffic to your blog, you have the opportunity to meet new friends, and you'll learn a lot when reviewing all the submissions.
Book your hosting date.

Note: Carnival of Healing Editions are always posted on Saturdays. I realize that weekends are busy for many people and that getting to a computer is not always easy on Saturday. If you don't want to miss a carnival you can subscribe to my Holistic Healing Weekly Newsletter that is delivered to your email box on Tuesday mornings. A link is always provided to the current carnival edition.

Looking Back: Last week the Carnival of Healing was hosted by Ranjana Jha, Just About Everything.
Looking Forward: Next edition of the carnival (July 11th) will be hosted by Jenn Givler at Movement As A Way In

Are Guardian Angels and Spirit Guides the Same Thing?

Thursday July 2, 2009
~ ~ ASK AN INTUITIVE ~ ~

Free Advice from Angel Intuitive, Christopher James Dilts

Dear Christopher,
Is a guardian angel the same thing as a spirit guide? What is my spirit guide's name? Do we have more than one guardian angel?

Thanks,
Deborah


Dear Deborah,
A Guardian Angel is a specific type of "Spirit Guide." Spirit Guide refers to a general category of beings who are in soul, or spirit form and not in physical form. Guardian Angels are direct expressions of the loving thoughts of God sent to us to watch over us and help us. They are pure love and bring to us only what will help us, guide us, protect us and encourage us to aspire to the very best qualities of our soul.

Guardian Angels are with us before our conception, when we, too, are in soul form. They accompany us through birth and are with us in every thought, word and event we experience in life. Guardian Angels are committed to us for the entire journey of our life - they never leave us and we are their only occupation. They will be with us when we leave this life and when we are, again, a soul in heaven.

Everyone I have ever met has had at least two Guardian Angels and often more. Talk to your Guardian Angels even before you know their names. Practice communicating with them and have patience. If you practice sensing, listening, envisioning, imagining and consciously intending to have lucid dreams with your Guardian Angels, you will sense them ever more clearly and eventually hear, sense or know their names.

Saint Augustine said, "Make friends with Angels."

Treat your Guardian Angels just as you would your dearest, most loving friends. Take your time and gradually build your relationship with them. Remember that when you take one step toward them, they take 10 steps to you!

There are 3 Guardian Angels with you as I write this and they are also helping co-ordinate other 'Angel teams' that are helping you with several aspects of your life. Welcome them as allies who will help you in every part of your life.

Best Wishes and Angel Blessings!

Chakra Symbol Gallery

Sunday June 28, 2009
chakra symbolsLearn the Sanskrit names and color associations of each of the seven major chakras

An affirmation is given for each chakra. Read the chakra affirmation statement outloud or silently to yourself while your eyes focus on the chakra image. The combination of focusing on these images and reading the affirmation statements is intended to help you connect to the life pulse of your wheels of life.

Visit the Chakra Symbol Gallery

Drawings and paintings of chakra symbols are usually depicted as wheels or lotus flowers. Each chakra will appear separate from one another. But, if you were able to view your chakras energetically you would notice that the chakras will naturally blend or bleed into one another. Chakras not only open and close, they will also expand and retract. When a chakra expands the boundaries separating it from its neighboring chakra/s can become blurred. As the chakras move and interact with one another the colorful imagery might remind you of peering through a kaleidoscope.

Carnival of Healing #195

Saturday June 27, 2009
The Carnival of Healing will be assembling over at Just About Everything today. Your host is Ranjana Jha. Ranjana's blog is a personal journal "about everything under the sun." I usually camp out near a computer on Saturdays until the carnival is posted so that I can post a few highlights. But, my plans for today will demand my attention elsewhere which is why I'm posting early in the day before the sun rises. I'll let the adventure be yours to explore this week's carnival attractions without my guidance. Say hey to Ranjana for me!
