Healing From Within - Sheryl Glick

View Details

Welcome to “Healing From Within.” I am your host Sheryl Glick Reiki Master Energy Teacher medium and author of the newest book in a trilogy, A New Life Awaits which shares stories and messages from spirit to show us our challenges are not merely economic political or societal but a disconnect from our inner being or soul wisdom. I am delighted to welcome Matthew Mc Kay a clinical psychologist and author of his newest book The Luminous Landscape of the Afterlife as he shares the channeled journey of his son’s travel across time and space as he shows us what really happens as we transition from a physical life to a spiritual energetic experience.

As Listeners of “Healing From Within” have come to expect over the years my very intuitive and inspirational guests and I share intimate and illuminating views of life in both the physical and energetic aspects. As we explore the duality of our life force, we come to realize that Consciousness survives physical death and life is eternal as our soul incarnates into different times and places to continue to grow through experience, greater awareness of love, and compassion. Life beyond life, is as real as a physical life in the three-dimensional world, but can be more expansive.

In today’s episode of Healing From Within Matthew McKay specifically descries the transition experience of his son Jordan who has channeled to his father the early stages of the afterlife he experienced as he passed from this life to Spirit and shows how death is a realm of imagination and thoughts and intentions creating a luminous landscape entirely of consciousness. This wisdom provides profound relief from the fear of death, as well as exercises to learn how to communicate in spirit. We will discover the unbreakable bond between the living and dead and the love that remains forever.

Matthew tells us in detail what Jordan experienced after collapsing on a doorstep while seeking help and when he first died and how Jordan eventually made contact with his father in dreams.

Matthew writes, “That when his son died he had no idea or belief that the dead could talk to us. At best, they seemed gone in another world, separated by loss and the deafening thunder of our grief. Perhaps even worse, their passing spoke a truth far more dire: that they ceased to exist and that these sweet ephemeral spirits lived only in memory. But then Jordan started speaking to me—at first only in dreams—but then through mediums through a process called induced after death communication and then through the gift of channeled writing he told me he was here with me and could teach me what he knows about the afterlife. Here was a window into the world of spirit, an invitation to listen at the curtain between worlds and a clear awareness that death is neither an end nor even a loss. It is merely the time when we finally remember who we are and where our home is.

About five years into our channeled exchanges, Jordan decided we should write a book. Within a few minutes he had outlined all the chapters and over time he dictated much of what became our first book, Seeking Jordan.

Jordan let his father know that at the moment of death we lose our senses, our nervous system and all that has anchored us to the world. We lose our families and goals in life. We find ourselves in a place where thought creates visions, where a mere idea projects images that can capture and overwhelm us. The physical world is gone, and for a time we may not be able to hear or recognize the spirits that have come to help us. The love we feel for our soul group and guides may be masked from us. In this confusion, souls struggle to get their
bearings. Some don’t yet recognize that they are dead. Some are so attached to the people and things of their past that they cling to the physical plane. Some are filled with emotions—fear anger grief shame greed that obscure the life of spirit. Some souls expect an afterlife that doesn’t exist, a picture of heaven painted from pulpits and religious training that actually prevents them from seeing what’s really there. Some souls expect nothing, an extinction of consciousness and can’t understand why they are still thinking and aware outside of their bodies.

Jordan goes on to tell us the time immediately after death is disorienting. This is because a soul who has newly crossed over is still an amnesiac. They don’t yet know what they know. How we communicate and navigate in spirit has been forgotten. How to focus our energy in spirit has temporarily been lost. For example, we see in all directions. We move by intentions rather than physically walking. We hear telepathically rather than listening to sound and words. We connect through the medium of love rather than touching or holding or conversing.

Death cannot be understood unless the purpose of life is also recognized. We are not here to be redeemed, proven worthy or to earn a high station in heaven. We are here Jordan says, to love and to learn. Death merely facilitates moving from the physical dimensions into the world of spirit. Our life as a soul has the same goals—here and in the afterlife—to evolve and to grow.

Sheryl shares with Matthew that as a medium, practicing for the last 25 years, she always tells her clients the same thing: that we will continue to learn and love beyond this physical life, and live in Spirit similar to the way we create and manifest our life on earth by our thoughts and actions or intentions. It is like the Law of Attraction that what we focus our time and energy on manifests.

Sheryl goes on to share what happened to her sister Rodelle who passed from pancreatic cancer and was given morphine before her passing and though our father was calling her to come forward, she was confused for perhaps the medicine made her passing more difficult.

As a medium Sheryl did a reading hoping to connect to her energy months after she passed and shared it in her new book A New Life Awaits: Spirit Guided insights to Support Global Awakening. Here is what Sheryl wrote “When I interviewed Annie, I had no idea that before long, my sister Rodelle would pass. As a medium, I received thoughtful, creative, validating messages for my clients. I assumed that was the way Spirit intended for me to use the gift of spiritual communication. However, I was told years ago that I could ask to speak to any soul energy, anywhere, alive or in spirit. I never tried to contact my own family members, as I felt that should they need to reach me, they would. Eight months after Rodelle’s passing, I decided to meditate and try to check in to see how she was relating to her new world. Unlike Billy, who reached out to his sister Annie, I reached out to mine in spirit. Usually when I do a reading, I simply write down whatever is presented to me. It seems the information is usually perfectly tailored to what my client needs at the moment. With Rodelle, however, I decided to ask her questions. When she was ill, I tried so hard to show her that she was in for an amazing journey into forever and beyond, which was something Rodelle was not able to believe in. I already knew that there is no death, for our true-life essence, or soul, survives physical death. Sadly, she did not.

I soon felt her energy around me and sensed she was surrounded in a blanket of green glory and quietness, but her heart still hurt. She had not wanted to depart, as her love of life was quite palpable and her fight to stay alive was most courageous. I was aware that she was being cared for by souls and spiritual teachers that attended to her and her soul energy in the process of refreshing itself after her long, challenging illness and the sorrow of many personal disappointments in her past life.

Healing of the soul is necessary before creating a new life in spirit filled with the effervescence and joy that many of us know or try to remember from our childhood of hope and possibility for love and friendship. My sister would fully heal with the help of the divine, as she was always one to try her best no matter what the challenge was. I asked her who was there to meet her. Immediately I began to feel a pressure, a tightening on my head, as perhaps the drugs she was given before passing confused her. She was frightened. Our dad was calling to her to move forward.

Rodelle soon saw the head of the Statue of Liberty immense in size; the face was very close to her face. The beams of light from the crown on the statue’s head enlarged, and many people moved forward to meet her: relatives, friends, and guides. Rodelle seemed to feel free, as the immigrants who had come to our shores looking for a new life must have felt, filled with the hope that they would be welcomed. Tears started to fill my eyes as I realized how joyful she was to find this new world and see so many souls she loved there to greet her.

Then I asked Rodelle if she was aware of how her daughters, granddaughter, and sisters were managing. She responded by showing pain, which I felt intensely in my left arm, and she expressed to me that relationships with several women in her life had been hard. Friends were easier for her to embrace than family members. It might be like that for all of us, since the family supplies the hardest challenges for resolving karmic cycles and some may not even be resolved in a single lifetime.

Quite suddenly, Rodelle’s spirit and energy dancing around me seemed to lift up, and she expressed that since there were many old thoughts still within her, opening the door to the exquisiteness of this new vision of light and energy was taking some time. I saw in my inner vision an astronaut floating in space trying to move freely and easily without gravity holding him back, but wearing the spacesuit was still a hold to life that had to be discarded for Rodelle to be truly free.

There were many more messages and the final message shared with me showed me conclusively that she had found a new soul family in spirit and was helping others, as it was the best way she had discovered to serve.

How beautiful, I thought, and knew that she was safe. For some time after this reading with Rodelle, I often loved to think of my sister as being surrounded and loved in the blanket of green glory and quietness, as it was soothing to me and helped me resolve the sorrow of her difficult illness and passing.

We return to Jordan as he goes on to tell us how he felt immediately after his passing,…”He felt cold and had a sense of shock. He saw his body on the ground. It occurred to me I was dead and that struck me with horror. Not so much for myself, but for everyone I loved and was connected to. The panic of disconnection for me, was intense. I thought of the route to the flat I shared with Elisa and found myself moving rapidly there. I simply went through the wall and watched her sleeping. It was a feeling not of tears, but a sense of time stretching out without each other a bleakness. Next I visited my friend Mauchi. When I thought of someone and pictured where they were, I could be there. In the first hours after my death I could only go to places I knew well. Now I can be with anyone I want, instantly, just by thinking of them. ”Sheryl says she tells her clients, “Anytime they think of a loved one in Spirt and say their name that soul is right by their side.”

Next Jordan tells us there was a jumble of stuff around him, remnants of his life that seemed real but they were just images made of energy. He was projecting. He felt a hand touching him urging him to slow down and received information telepathically He could also feel love bathing him. Someone maybe a guide asked him to select one image that could stabilize the scene-some place beautiful or peaceful. Jordan was told he was in a Landing Place just outside the spirit world and would remain there until the residual distress from his death had calmed. He also heard the sound of love and with it a sense of belonging of being part of a great whole. He belonged not with the souls of his family but to a sense of all, of all that is.

When Jordan entered the Spirit World he sensed all around souls were huddled focusing inward He was able to meditate on the life he had just lived. It was a Life Review In my connection with my mother I learned about the unconquerable cycle of love and loss that marks our life on Earth. I felt the timelessness of love the moment between a mother and her son carried the light of all the love in the universe. I also realized the cruelty I had inflicted on my sister Bekah. I felt a deep need to know how my actions had affected her.

Matthew tells us that for many souls, death doesn’t begin a nonstop flight to the Spirit World. There are some potential layovers that may interrupt their journey back to Spirit. The first of these has to do with souls who get stuck on Earth. Many souls are afraid to leave the
site of their death. As the body cools and is no longer animated by a soul withing they continue to cling. The gentle pull toward spirit is lost for a time in a kind of soul panic: the release, the sudden freedom from the physical seems so strange that the spirit is flooded with an urge to get back inside. They are what people call ghosts. Frightened souls who continue clinging to their bodies, these souls are captured by the emotions of a past life and resist moving to the next place…

The Healing Place which is the next stop for many distressed souls. It is quiet and insulated from telepathic and psychic noise. It has the appearance of some kind of open- air hospital with countless souls lying motionless apparently sleeping. Healing guides minister to them as the souls “live” whatever vivid stories they’ve created. For some souls these stories are experienced in mental or dream states. Some souls have more serious problems to work out and actually travel to dimensions designed for intensive learning. Once you are assigned to the healing place, you have very little control over events. You are spiritually unconscious. The flow of your stories, the strength of your leftover beliefs and assumptions, and the surges of raw emotion will gradually subside. The treatment process is titrated by guides; you are entirely in their hands. Sheryl realizes that the Healing Place was where her sister had communicated her status eight months after her physical death.

Souls arrive in the healing place for many reasons. These can include:

Dying while in a coma and unaware of the transition.
Dying in a psychotic state with a loose grasp of conventional reality and arriving in the spirit world influenced by brain-based hallucinations.
Dying a sudden or violent death—in a state of terror or rage—and in some cases not yet knowing they’re discarnate.
Having had a life strongly influenced by fear and fear avoidance.
These souls often arrive terrified, with minds practiced at inventing catastrophic possibilities. Each catastrophic thought turns into a vivid experience that only terrifies them more. The harsh bardos described in the Egyptian and Tibetan Books of the Dead derive from these fear-fueled stories. Fear avoidance is also a factor. These souls become frantic, trying to escape the images of their own making.
This painful scenario—panicking, trying to get away, and panicking even more when there’s nowhere to go— continues until these stories and images are slowly turned around by guides.
Having had a life strongly influenced by anger. Anger and violence are the opposite of love. Incarnate souls who’ve learned to respond to pain with anger are unprepared for the spirit world. 27 Violence is even more problematic. Violence inflicts wounds as much on the perpetrator as the victim. It creates pockets of inert ordistorted energy in the perpetrating souls. A part of the soul literally goes dead and loses all responsiveness. These souls, as a result, suffer isolation and cannot hear love. They arrive deeply alone and require major energy transfusions (much like blood transfusions) before they can even begin to connect. Some of them remain in the healing wards for Earth centuries.
Having had a life influenced by greed. Because greed is the product of delusion—that we are all separate, unconnected by love—it leaves souls profoundly confused immediately after death. Their lives have been about having and taking rather than loving and sharing. As with anger, greed isolates; souls see themselves alone, fighting for limit resources. And like angry souls, they arrive largely deaf to love.
Having had a life ending in despair. Souls who despair have missed the point of life. They think life is about achieving happiness and that pain indicates a blatant failure. But life isn’t about being happy. It’s about learning to love, no matter what level of pain or suffering we face. The pain is an essential part of the lesson, not a sign of failure. Despair is really the inability to express and act on love during periods of extended pain. When despairing souls—particularly those whose death was a suicide— arrive in the afterlife, they may be unattuned to love. While souls aren’t blamed or judged for their despair, it takes time to awaken.
Having had a life marked by shame and self-hate. Shame occurs when a soul believes their life choices to be at odds with what is good and right. They feel judged, a failure in the eyes of others. Because they believe they are undeserving, they remain deaf to the sound of love permeating the afterlife.

The best preparation for this bardo, while still incarnate, is to work on the realization that your thoughts aren’t real, and use meditation to observe thoughts rather than get caught and consumed in them.

Souls who go to the healing place, while from outward appearances sleeping, can be elsewhere. Souls with intense, dominant emotional states may have some of their soul energy sent to dimensional realities (special bardos) designed for their recovery. There are dimensions, for example, where matter can appear and disappear by mere intention. The soul, while not occupying a physical body, doesn’t have to contend with the organ and biochemical systems of the bodies we have on Earth—and that body can’t be damaged, no matter what the soul does or conjures up. In these dimensions, the soul’s unprocessed emotions from Earth are turned into adversaries, love objects, events (storms, quakes, arrivals and departures), familiar environments, alien environments, and elaborate plots with spine-tingling crises and crescendos. The soul conjures most of this, but some elements are added or remodeled by guides to help resolve the jagged remnants of emotions from the soul’s last life.

Souls who’ve lived many lives have experienced the passage from a physical body to being in spirit hundreds of times. They more easily recognize that they have died, remember and allow the tug toward spirit, and may cross directly into the arms of guides and loved ones. They know the routine and what to expect. They are attuned to love. The hallucinations suffered by emotionally disturbed or less experienced souls are not their fate These more advanced souls have worked through many karmic lessons. Their lives—while often marked by pain and great challenges—were guided by a sense of mission and spiritual truth. They were not lost or alone. They saw through the amnesia and didn’t forget that Spirit lives with and in them. As a result, many make the direct flight to a soul group and quickly resume their work—often learning special skills—there are many careers in the spirit world—that they will utilize on Earth or after they’ve stopped incarnating. These souls may not pause for a full life review but will, in time, consult with guides about the life just lived.

When Jordan had finished his Life Review he tells us a guide led him to a passageway a wide hallway, perhaps more like a tube of light. Hallways leading to city-size collections of soul families flashed by and if you think of each soul as a point of light, the spirit world is a vast array of such lights. And there are many more souls than have incarnated on earth. You might think of the Spirit World as a gigantic brain with each cell(soul) located in a particular place and performing a particular function.

Jordan was heading back to his region town and family. His soul group, “the farm” appears to live in an old Victorian house. This isn’t a physical house, but energy projected by agreement to resemble a house. We create the image that is comforting to us much the same way that souls who incarnate as water creatures might project a quiet lake or bay. We call our soul group “the farm” because we are working to learn methods for helping consciousness grow on a mass level. The laws of change are part of what we study. They were all waiting for me. Eleven of them and I make 12.

Reminds Sheryl of when she had her first Reiki healing initiation and there were 12 in the group.

The soul group is our family, our classroom, and our main source of strength and belonging. We learn together, reincarnate together, and nourish each other with love. The activities I’ve just described are part of daily life. We aren’t playing harps, sitting on clouds, or drinking grog in some Viking Valhalla. We aren’t living in mansions or walking in sandaled feet on the courtyards of temples. We are just a group of souls who learn and love together

Matthew writes, “Jordan shares with us what he learned in the spirit world. Souls have an individual lesson plan. Even souls in the same group, like “the farm,” have unique learning objectives. While guides may teach certain lessons collectively, much of the knowledge we acquire is through study of the Akashic Record (the history of every life, every event, every choice made during incarnations—(both as it happened and as it could have happened). Studying the Akashic Record—sometimes alone, sometimes with guides—is the primary way we review and learn from each incarnation. We examine with great attention every choice and each word spoken as if it were happening now, studying how it affected ourselves and others, feeling the impact of anger or of love. And then we open chapters in the Record that reveal what could have happened if we made different choices.

We also study the Akashic Record to learn the intricacies of cause and effect, watching years-long sequences of events all flowing from a single choice. A single moment. A father slapping a child and yelling, “You’re bad!” can launch a ripple effect that will churn through generations. But we don’t just study the effects of human action. We examine every instrument of change: how water erodes rocks in a stream, how freezing and unfreezing rain in the cracks of granite causes mountains to rupture, how the Big Bang pushes matter ever further into entropy, the silence of nothingness. We can look at cause and effect on every level so that eventually souls can recognize the underlying force driving every phenomenon, be it physics or human behavior. Related to the laws of cause and effect—and also studied in the Akashic Record—are the laws of change. These principles guide
conscious interventions that allow souls to interrupt cause and effect and rechannel the course of human events. In the same way a dam can alter a river’s flow, laws of change, judiciously applied at a moment in time, can redirect history.”

Our lives in the spirit world are multifaceted—just as they are on Earth. What we do keeps changing, so we are never bored. To understand what it’s like in the afterlife, you have to realize how much souls love learning. That is our purpose, our mission. We were created for this one reason—to absorb knowledge and experience, and give it to all. We incarnate into a physical universe to learn from that; we love each other and learn from that love and connection; we develop expertise at our spiritual careers. Everything we do fills us with an
ever increasing sense of truth. We never arrive at truth. No one does, not even the all (collective consciousness). We keep moving toward truth—holding more and more of it—but never arriving. A “day” in the afterlife—every moment of it—is spent loving and learning. And remember, we can do multiple things at once, so much of what we do is simultaneous rather than sequential. For example, I can visit my loved ones who are still incarnate while at the same time deeply studying the Akashic Record. Or I can be listening to a guide give a lecture while being a tourist on another planet and learning from the life forms there.

So with this in mind, let me list some of the activities I’m involved in.

Visiting much loved souls. While we can communicate telepathically across infinite distance, it’s like talking on the phone
Connecting to embodied souls. Communicating to loved ones who are still incarnate is a challenge. The vibrational levels, as noted before, are so different that direct communication is often impossible. Any time a soul on Earth thinks of me, it opens a channel, and if they are receptive, I can answer telepathically.
Connecting to all. Part of my time is spent in a kind of meditative state, where I connect to collective consciousness. It’s like turning on a radio in which you hear the broadcast for every channel simultaneously. Knowledge fills me, as does this deeply peaceful sense of being part of the whole, of belonging through love.
Reviewing lessons from past lives. Again, this is all done through study of the Akashic Record. Guides are often involved,
Creating things. Most souls engage in some creative activities.
Rituals. Our soul group doesn’t eat together like families do on Earth, but we do connect ritually. We take time, periodically, to do a form of singing that synchronizes our energy patterns for a while, and helps us feel closer. We do ritual merging—sometimes as a group to strengthen the emotion of belonging and sometimes in pairs, where we experience a deep intimacy and knowing of each other that feels energetically similar to sex.
Lectures and seminars with advanced souls. Part of our training involves being exposed to the wisdom, skills, and experience of advanced souls
Movies. These are special “videos” from the Akashic Record that form amazing travel logs. We can watch the Big Bang, we can see the formation and evolution of previous universes, we can watch documentaries of life forms who host incarnating souls on other planets, and we can peer down the timeline to future events. We also watch and learn from documentaries of souls who have led inspiring lives.
Enjoying “the darkness.” We don’t sleep, but we can enjoy periods alone and draw a sort of cover over ourselves. We can have our ownthoughts, our own memories, and our own hopes and plans in privacy—there’s no telepathic seepage of our thoughts to other souls.
Skills training. As described earlier, there are many spiritual careers. After we’ve been incarnating for a while, and we’re not using all the time between lives to review and learn from our most recent incarnation, guides begin encouraging us to consider a career in the spirit world.

Sheryl asks Matthew to tell us what he conceives Love to be? Matthew writes, LOVE IS A PLACE, A LOCATION. It is where consciousness resides. It isn’t a feeling, or a state, or a form of experience. It is the place of all thought, all knowledge, all truth. It is the essence of beauty and what moves us to recognize beauty and know love in the presence of beauty. Love is joining; it is the act of seeing, knowing, and, for a time, becoming the beloved. Love is a place of pure belonging where we enter each other and, finally, the whole. Love is not a subject and object, nor is it a lover and a recipient of love. It is the place where they live together, having the same awareness, the same memory, the same truth. Love in the spirit
world—that place of merging, knowing and belonging—lives as a shadow, a faint presence inside of us. That shadow is the source of our loneliness here on Earth.

Sheryl says she remembers once being wounded by a friend who didn’t back her up in a decision that affected many people and which Sheryl as a medium and healer knew to be correct, and Sheryl said to that soul. I thought you were home… According to the definition of Love Sheryl always wanted to be home to everyone and to be known as love by everyone.

We can make it easier to pass through the stages of death to enter the Spirit World. There are things you can do now to have a more direct flight after death. Layovers on Earth, in the healing place, or in the “strange dimensions” can be minimized by doing these six things:

Prepare now to recognize when you are dead. While out-of -body and near-death experiences are not rare, most of the time when you’re outside of your body, you have crossed over. Pay attention to the events surrounding your out-of-body experience. Are lifesaving efforts continuing? Are people mourning? Are they wrapping or cleaning your body? Also note how long you have been out-of-body. If a lot has happened and significant time has gone by, your incarnation is likely over.
Feel and accept the tug up to Spirit. If you are out-of-body, pay attention to the tug toward Spirit. It may show up as a desire to “let go,” it may come as a movement upward, or it may simply arrive as a graying out of the physical scene of your death while your conscious awareness continues. However it shows up, allow it. Encourage it.
Accept and go with it. Trust that you will be guided and cared for. From the moment you leave your body, guides are closely attending to you. Expect them. Trust that they are with you, even if you can’t see them. Let them take you where you need to go. They love you; they have only your best interests at heart. Their sole job is to care for you.
Listen for a voice or words in your mind. Your guides will very soon start communicating telepathically. In some cases, the guides communicate with a simple awareness, a sense of knowing. Put your full attention to hearing whatever they convey.
Avoid forming mental images or pictures. This often leads to disturbing visions that plague souls just arriving in spirit. Instead, focus on your feelings of love for souls who’ve already crossed over. You’ll see them soon. Anticipate that and keep your attention on love.
Feel it. Listen for it. As soon as you see guides or loved ones, attend fully to them. Listen to them. Feel the love flowing between you. Love is your passport. When you feel it, you won’t wait long before entering the spirit world.

Matthew Mc Kay and his son Jordan might like readers of The Luminous Landscape of the Afterlife to take away with them after reading this very detailed view of the journey during the transition to spirit. Matthew Jordan and Sheryl might like readers to know that there is no death only life after life and in spirit more PLEASURE FOR SOULS. Learning is only part of the experience in spirit. There’s actually more fun in the afterlife than on Earth. In the physical world, pleasure is experienced in the nervous and limbic systems. It peaks and then quickly decays as we desensitize to the experience. Our bodies can’t retain sensations of pleasure for very long because our arousal system is designed to return to baseline quickly. In the spirit world, enjoyment can be sustained indefinitely because it doesn’t depend on bodily reactions.

But on the other, we can hold deep, sustained enjoyment through experiences such as:

visiting and connecting to soul friends intimate merging tourism—visiting other worlds, other times, and other stages in the development of consciousness meditating on the love of all creating—everything from music to energy sculptures to planets.

We thank Matthew McKay Ph. D author of The Luminous Landscape of the Afterlife for showing us through the experiences of his son Jordan who passed at the age of twenty three his wondrous journey to the Spirit World and the loving connections to loved ones, higher vibrational beings, guides who have been with us here in life and again with us in the afterlife. he makes as we learn that all life is simply about experiences learning and loving and evolving to a higher level of compassion for all that is.

In summarizing today’s episode of “Healing From Within’ we have interacted with our minds and our souls to the distinct need to understand death dying and life eternal, through the feelings and awareness of Jordan in spirit shared with his father Matthew who wrote a book where we have a true vision of the state of the soul, the reasons why souls choose a physical life, the beauty of living learning and loving and the journey back home which can be made more wondrous if we leave fear out of the process at the time we leave our physical bodies and begin again our life in Spirit.

Matthew wrote, “THE DEEPEST TRUTH of the universe is that love is eternal; our relationships to each other and the whole go on forever. Reuniting is a myth born of our physical lives. We are always together (even though on Earth we forget), always united in love, always and irrevocably connected to all of consciousness. So, reunion is merely a ceremony where incarnated soul energy returns to spirit, and our soul group and friends bang the drum to welcome us home. But in truth we never left them. Our collective love has always held us as if we were one breath. We feel so alone on this planet, and the love of incarnates is so tenuous and conditional that isolation seems normal. The emptiness of having our deepest selves unseen (hidden within a body and a personality) is the root of human sadness, and it is why the hope for union animates all our relationships—with both the living and the dead. We cannot know in this place that our aloneness is an illusion created for our own growth. As we approach death, the thought of reunion often seems more sweet. We have lost loved ones, and even in our most intimate relationships we may continue to feel a distance—as if we have always lived a little apart—beyond being held, beyond being known. And because merging in love is so difficult here, we yearn all the more for it as life reaches its end. Instinctively, if we listen to our soul’s truth, we can feel the imminent approach of our joining to all that we love. We can use this hunger for reunion to begin welcoming the transition. Souls we love who are now in spirit often appear to us in the days or hours before death, when possible, as part of the plan to ease our transition; they remind us that we are going home and there is nothing to fear. ……”

Matthew and I would have you know the more you allow accept and surrender to all experiences, without judging them good or bad, you will begin to be comfortable and in tune with the challenges of the physical world, and will come to have an easier transition back to Spirit when that time comes for you. The cycle of life is miraculous, whether in or out of a body.

Welcome to Healing From Within with your host Sheryl Glick author of the newest book in a trilogy A New Life Awaits: Spirit Guided Insights to Support Global Awakening which shares stories and messages from Spirit that show us our challenges are not merely economic political or societal but a disconnect from our inner being and soul wisdom. Today Sheryl welcomes David Richards, a decorated marine Corps officer and author of The Lighthouse Keeper: A Story of Mind Master whose main character Sam finds ways and transformational tools to manifest the life he truly wants and leaves behind the life he was currently living.

As listeners of Healing From Within are well aware Sheryl and her guests share intimate stories and insights into life as it really is exposing who we are and how this life enables us to remember much as we wade through the challenges of the physical world and find ways to create life as we wish it to be and not merely accept the mindset of others which may limit restrict or create fear and pain. We seek ways to understand life as both an energetic soul and physical being living in a duality that can be merged for best results.

In today’s episode of Healing From Within David Richards has written a fictional tale of a young man who knows how the life he’s currently living ends and it isn’t the life or the ending he wants. He makes a conscious choice to try his hand as a lighthouse keeper’s apprentice as the life of a lighthouse keeper promises responsibility and adventure as well as offering transformational tools which can be practiced in everyday life to improve himself and the conditions he is dealing with. We discover and share Sam’s journey as a lighthouse keeper’s apprentice finding adventures he could never have imagined and the changes that are possible when we engage life in a creative fashion

David tells us why he decided to write a fictional tale of transformation and life changing situations Perhaps what David has written about Sam the main character in the story reflects the need of all of us to learn more about ourselves, follow our inner soul guidance and create the life we truly want to live or were born to live.

David writes, “His father was late getting back from town, but having sold all the eggs, called the day a success. Sam had spent the afternoon finishing his chores and then stayed outside, drawing trees and birds, and occasionally pulling out his ball-cup game. Now, as they ate, Sam wrestled with his thoughts. “Something on your mind?” his father asked in between bites of food. Sam pushed his fork around his plate, plowing indifferently through his mashed potatoes. Before he spoke, he felt the tremble in his throat rise. “I don’t want this.” “It’s what’s for supper.” Sam pushed his plate away from him. “No, not this. I want to leave. Leave here. Find my own way.” His father stopped eating and set his fork on the plate. “What about the farm? I need you here.” “But you don’t need me. You just need a body. You can find someone local to help out.” It was a truth, neither damning nor invigorating, but like a truth once spoken, it couldn’t be taken back.

“Sam’s father responded “I’m surprised it’s taken you this long.” His father said, without turning back to look at him. “I figured you’d have gotten sick of this place two seasons ago. Was surprised when you stayed on. Happy of course, but surprised.” Sam looked at his father, then looked away. He had been wanting to leave. Had played out the conversation in his head so many times, but always met resistance”

Sam unfortunately, he thought, had to hurt his father if he ever was to realize his own needs to explore life beyond the narrow confines of his father’s farm. He tells his father since there is not enough money for going to college, he wants to go work at the lighthouse near the ocean. He describes the lighthouse as…. “Black Eagle Lighthouse sat atop a small cropping of rock a few meters above sea level. It reached up from the ocean floor like a hand, the dark, jagged appendage of some earthly celestial, its fingers spread wide, the fingertips disappearing into the sea on the island’s eastern side. The waves made
splintered assaults into the grooves between the fingers, crashing against the rocks in their ceaseless assault. On occasion, reached more than half the lighthouse’s height. On the back of the hand sat Black Eagle Lighthouse. Slightly less than fifty meters high, it was painted in equal thirds of navy blue, white, and navy blue again before surrendering to the catwalk and lantern. A single door on the southern side supplied entrance to the lighthouse, which could be accessed by way of a small dock on the leeward side to the west. Once docked, one followed steps which had been dutifully carved out of the rock as they meandered their way up to the entryway.”

David describes his military life and the values and dreams of that experience that are reflected in the Lighthouse Keeper. He tells us that perhaps military life was something like being a lighthouse keeper. Plenty of time for silence thinking and being alone…David writes, “He wanted to find it peaceful, but could only manage to find it depressing. This led him to think, How did someone find peace in this kind of life or perhaps in any life? David learned much from living and working with Armand the lightkeeper who was a mysterious
man and in time he taught him a great deal about using your imagination and inner thoughts to create peace no matter what kind of life you were living. His entrance into a tavern was enough to quiet the crowd until he made his way to the bar and ordered his usual; a glass of water. He had discovered his name by accident. “Armand” was scribbled on a parcel he’d once delivered years ago. The first time he called him by his name, he seemed surprised at hearing it. He must lead a hollow, barren life, he thought. Alone, on purpose. By choice.
Other captains had mused that lighthouse keepers were a tranquil lot, especially now that most lighthouses had moved away from oil lamps, which were labor intensive and called for multiple keepers per house. These speculations were issued side by side with stories of catches of fish too big to haul, mermaids, and other maritime tales.

David shares with us that the character of Sam could be any one of us moving through these treacherous and extraordinary times. In Sam’s memory of his mother we can all recognize qualities that sustain us and help us to grow more aware and trusting of life. Sam’s memory of the mother he loved before she died reminds us that there are people we meet in life who share the brilliance of their spirit and often that interaction helps us to discover the best within ourselves.

David wrote of Sam’s mother, “Her brilliant blue eyes shifted their gaze from his father to him. The spark in her eyes caught a different kind of fire. Her face softened gracefully, the way clouds soften sunlight. Her eyes grew bigger. He didn’t understand the look at the time, not in any comprehensible way he could articulate, but now saw it plainly. It was hope. Adoration. Joy. It was the look of love, the kind of look that is somehow reserved for mothers and their children. He was conscious of how close to the ground he was; he saw himself as a dragonfly, moving just above the blades of the tall, swaying grasses. He closed the distance between them as she pulled on a bunch of grapes. She extended her hand and he gingerly plucked one from its pedicle. She ran a hand through his hair and pulled him close to her. He felt all the warmth, safety, and tenderness of a mother’s embrace. Could smell her perfume. It was a sublime space of happiness.

David shares transformational tools found in the story and how they can be used and practiced in real life. Sam describes ways he learned to use his time while at the lighthouse, “Nor was he afraid of a little solitude. In school, he enjoyed time to himself. While the other boys tackled athletic pursuits, he wrote. He wrote poems, or stories of faraway, imagined lands with mystical creatures and people. Sometimes he wrote letters to different people in his life. One day, a note to his father. The next, a teacher. The day after that, a girl in class he liked. He never delivered the letters, but writing them made him feel better in some strange, unexplored way. He told himself it didn’t matter, and found an odd comfort in that. When he ran out of words, he turned to drawing pictures. These too he never shared with anyone, but they adorned the walls of his bedroom like errant pieces of wallpaper. Moreover, at the lighthouse, he wasn’t alone. True, the lighthouse keeper…Armand, he had introduced himself as…was there. He learned to express his innermost feelings and thoughts clearly and without judgement. This time at the lighthouse encouraged him to grow in confidence and becoming a friend to himself, so he was aware he was never alone. He learned time was not his enemy, but a chance for continued renewal of faith and trust in the universal plan, for him and for everyone.

Several valuable insights gleaned by David in order to write this story and become the man he is today, may be seen in the following story: The following story is how Sam learned to value “Focus” in completing all tasks and David wrote the following story of sweeping the steps at the lighthouse which was a daily chore.

David wrote, “Sam looked at him (Armand), confident that he had done a crisp, efficient job. Armand placed a crate on top of another. “Do you know how many stairs there are from top to bottom?” “Stairs? No.” It wasn’t something Sam had ever thought about. “Eighty?” “One hundred and forty-four. Do you know how long it took you to clean them this last time?” Sam shook his head. “Twenty-six minutes.” Sam took in a deep breath as his chest swelled. “I almost cut my time in half.” Armand adjusted his glasses at the end of his nose and frowned without looking up from his watch. “Yes. True. And yet it you were truly focused, it would take you even less time.” Sam looked at Armand, then walked to the room center and looked up. It was a dizzying view. He couldn’t believe there were less than one hundred fifty stairs; it felt like twice that many. And how much more time could he cut out of the whole affair? “If you’re focused, you should be able to clean the stairs completely in less than ten minutes.” “That’s ludicrous.” Sam said, a laugh escaping before he could stop it. Armand grabbed the broom and went to the bottom step. He swept from the outside in with five successive sweeps, counting aloud as he did. “One, two, three, four.” “Each step takes four seconds. If you want to do the math, you’re welcome to.” Armand held the broom out at arm’s length and let go. The broom balanced on its bristles before falling towards Sam, who caught it as Armand ascended the stairs.

Armand shares with Sam another insightful way to achieve your best in life and writes. “The questions we ask ourselves are the pathway to the kind of life we will have.” “Explain more,” Sam said, intrigued. Armand scratched his beard, reminding Sam of a dog feverishly scratching at fleas. Such an odd man. “If I wake every morning with the thought, ‘What dread is life going to throw my way today’, my mind will come up with an answer. ‘Mind’ will respond with something like, ‘Today you’re going to have a terrible argument with your brother’ or ‘Today you’re going to step in a puddle and ruin your shoes’. In other
words, ‘mind’ will look for things to make my day full of dread.” “That’s silly. No one asks themselves that question.” “Possibly true,” Armand said, finally leaving his beard alone, “But people talk negatively to themselves more so than the opposite. More than that, they worry about the things beyond their control.”

Sheryl tells us one of the stories in the book that she likes from the book. Sheryl likes that David tells us about Sam having a waking vision or as mediums receive messages in dreams or even while awake from Spiritual guidance: prophetic visions, and David writes,
“Something by the desk flashed again, and this time he was able to center his attention on the area of the flash, but could see no objects. It flashed again. Sam saw himself. He looked a little older than he presently was, and smiled in a childish, pained way at the fitful, patchwork beard his older self was trying to grow. There was a young woman with him, though her features weren’t clear to him. He was tripping over himself with excitement, walking in front of her, darting from side to side, hands gesturing wildly as he talked. Sam could make out none of the words his older self was speaking, but understood the scene readily enough. The young woman was hesitant, but attentive. She followed him with her eyes (what color were they?) he insisted to no avail, and frequently her gaze lingered long enough where she would catch herself. She would then gracefully look down on the path they walked. He thought her hair blond, but the vision was unclear. It fanned coolly off her shoulders, like curtains stirred by an evening breeze. She did her best to measure her smiles, so as not to convey enjoying his company too much. For his part, Sam sensed his
older self in love. It wasn’t a love of hopeful anticipation, or short-lived fiery passion. It was a defining love. A love that would alter the flow of his life, become his life. And somewhere within him, he felt pride well up. Pride in seeing this version of himself recognize such a thing at an early age.”

David continues to share with us some ways we may find “stillness” in the chaos. David writes of the routines Armand who had been at the lighthouse for a considerable time told Sam, “There was the morning ritual Armand had of sitting cross-legged on the ground floor on a small mat. Just sitting. Perhaps meditating. Eyes closed. Sam thought him a fool. These odd events together were cause enough to re-think this entire venture. “I’m not mad.” Armand said as they passed the seventh floor. It was Sam’s turn to stop. Had he been talking out loud? They ate in silence—Armand at his usual pace, Sam anxiously swallowing his meal. When he finished, he broke the swollen silence between them. “What disease are you talking about?” The disease of distraction Armand set his plate down next to him. He ran his fingers through his beard, inspected what morsels had been caught there, Your thinking is distracted.

Distracted thinking makes it harder to accomplish things. Look at that ship.” He pointed to the north. Several miles away from them, a large schooner headed west, its sails gleaming in the sun and full of a steady wind. Armand continued. “Focus on that ship. By focus, I mean direct your attention to it. And rubbed his hands together. “

Focus on that ship. By focus, I mean direct your attention to it.” Sam looked at the ship. “Okay.” Now, assign it some meaning.” Armand grew animated. He stood, walking to the railing nearest the ship. “What do you mean?” “Imagine for example, it’s a ship in distress. That ‘meaning’ leads to possible actions, right? We might light the lamp, signal the coastal guard or, were they closer, row out to see how we might assist.” Sam set his plate down and joined Armand on the railing. “I guess so.” “Of course,” Armand continued. “Now, don’t focus on the ship.” “What?” “Ignore the ship for a moment. Ignore it, and all the meaning we just assigned to it.

“Focus. Meaning. Action.” Armand said matter-of factly. “This is our first crucial decision cycle. If those are pirates, our actions would be very different than if it were a ship in distress. A person’s life…how they view their past, how they live in the present, and how they look to the future…all depend on the meaning they assign to each.”

David might want readers of The Lighthouse Keeper to take away with them after reading your book that they should remember what Armand told Sam….” Crazy or not, long after we finished the day’s tasks, Armand’s words stayed with Sam, and if I’m honest with myself, I wanted to hear more. We picked up on our catwalk conversation at dinner. He expanded on some of the things we had discussed earlier. I’m not sure it all makes sense, but I surprised myself by grabbing for my journal, even before readying for bed, to write down all the recollections from the day.

What we focus on—this is the most important decision we can make. We can put our energy towards things we can control, or lose it by focusing on the things we can’t control. We can direct our focus to the past, the present, or the future. ILL. What meaning do we assign to it—the meaning we give to the thing we focus on creates the feelings. Two people can look at the same thing and have completely different feelings. This is based on their experiences, their thought patterns, and their values and beliefs. The past, present, and future all have different meanings, depending on the meaning we assign to them. (Must ask Armand more about this…isn’t my past unchangeable?) The feelings that come from the meaning given lead to… What actions we take—based on the meaning we attach to what we focus on, we choose what to do. We develop patterns of thoughts—These patterns become habits. These habits become our beliefs. These beliefs become our lives. We cannot focus on two things at once…Armand said this. It seems so obvious, and yet I play with the idea over and over in my mind. He said, ‘there can only be one master’ and I’m quite certain I don’t know what he’s talking about. Further, he said the quality of the questions we ask ourselves leads us to the quality of our lives. If we ask questions about why life is unfair, our mind will come up with answers to reinforce that perspective. But if we ask what are the things that make life so enjoyable, the mind will answer that question in a similar fashion

Sheryl would like to thank David Richards for sharing a most courageous story both of himself and his main character Sam in The Lighthouse Keeper as like each of us, we move through life experiences with certain questions in mind…Who are we? Where do we come from? What is life really about? And if we are lucky, aware, and insightful, we find answers which help move us past the chaos to allow, accept, and surrender to all things, become more of who we have always been, our soul essence, and to mature, so we may move past fear and limitations to know love, compassion, and peace as our natural birthright.

In summarizing today’s episode, David Richards author of The Lighthouse Keeper and Sheryl have discussed the fictional tale of a young man Sam who seeks to know who he is and how to find a path to a life of adventure, creativity and sensitivity, and to become the best version of himself. Sam has the courage to leave his father’s farm and go to be an apprentice in a lighthouse, where the lightkeeper teaches him a great deal about the mysteries and wonderment of life and how to focus, find meaning, and act on those references.

David shares a story of how Sam began to realize his dreams could materialize and how he didn’t have to listen to the negative attitudes of others, but needed the courage to pursue what interested him most.

Sam tells us “He poured himself a cup of water and drifted back to what he had seen yesterday beyond reef. The pages in the water and image of the woman. His family. His book. It excited him, awakened something inside that he had put to rest in recent years. He had set aside any dreams of writing when he left school. It simply hadn’t seemed like a realistic way of making a living, not when so many of his classmates were pursuing what he thought of as ‘real. And his father had deterred him. He remembered in particular a conversation he and his father had shared while extending the fence line of their property “Writing,” Sam had offered, fighting off the urge not to curse as the wire chewed into his dry fingers, “I like it. I like telling stories.” His father had chuckled. “What’s funny?” Sam asked, the wire digging deeper. He could see a blossom of blood open on his index finger. “The people who write are professional writers”, his father huffed, “they have a gift, and hone their craft”. Sam released the wire. He looked at his father. A wound opened somewhere inside him. Not unlike his cracked fingers, it too bled. It was something he couldn’t verbalize and nothing he could point to. But it was there, bleeding. And that had been that. The idea had been shelved!”

David and Sheryl would have you remember that the thoughts we focus on and intentions we set within our mind, as well as the dreams we seek to make real, are truly possible and must keep trying to make them materialize, for it will, if it is in your life plan and soul destiny. No set back will stop your goals from finally happening, in the right time and best way to support your soul journey and refine your spirit, often filling it with greater love and compassion for yourself and others. It is not in the doing, but in becoming and BEING, that we discover the truth about our eternal selves!

Welcome to Healing From Within with host Sheryl Glick RMT Reiki Master Energy Teacher medium and author of the newest book in a trilogy A New Life Awaits: Spirit Guided Insights to Support Global Awakening which shares stories and messages from spirit that show us our modern day challenges are not merely economic political or societal but a deep disconnect from our inner soul wisdom. We are delighted to welcome Dr. Megan Rose author of Spirit Marriage to share a unique view of interactions between those in a body and those in spirit who find love and connection from different levels of life.

As listeners of Healing From Within have discovered over the years, Sheryl and her intuitive insightful guests share intimate stories and insights into the duality of life our energetic soul life force and physical life as we learn that life is indeed a journey of healing learning and love and we have opportunities to self-investigate and self-master our emotions guided by intuition and cooperation of higher Universal Source or those in Spirit who mentor and help us follow our destiny and life plan.

In today’s episode of Healing From Within Megan Rose who has a doctorate in East West psychology is an initiated ceremonial magician, a Shakta Tantric Practioner and a senior seer in the House of Brigh Faery Seership Institute and serves as an Interfaith minister and psycho-spiritual counselor shares an in-depth exploration of the practice, relevance and purpose of spirit marriage.

When Rose is asked to think back to her childhood and remember a person place or event that may have signaled to them or others the life path and interests she might pursue in adulthood for it seems to me that we are born with a soul physical world and to raise to a higher awareness and vibration on love Megan begins to remember:

Megan writes, “My inquiry into spirit marriage is inextricably connected to the unfolding and evolutionary stages of my devotional life: growing up a spirit filled Pentecostal, communicating and praying with and to trees, being in The Present dissatisfied with a sexless Christian God and his disembodied practices, attending seminary and feeling a profound yet confusing call to public ministry, longing for a tradition that held reverence for and primacy of women and the Divine Feminine, and finally—seeking a path that embraces both light and dark as co-equal and indivisible.

My choices in life have almost invariably been guided by what Orion Foxwood refers to as “sacred longing and divine discontent.” As a child, I often felt the presence and fullness of the Holy Spirit as a palpable sensation in my body. Even though I did not understand exactly how, I knew it was a different sensation from the ones I felt when I prayed to Jesus or his Father God. This Holiest of Spirits often felt most alive to me in and through nature. Later I would come to understand that the experiences I had been having were the indwelling contact of the Goddess, the Divine Feminine, but as a child I simply knew that this contact awakened me in a vital and primal way and left me feeling ablaze.:

The term highly sensitive I define as having a highly attuned intero and extero-ception of stimuli. Experiences like ESP or visionary states are beginning to be understood as the extreme reaches of a spectrum of highly attuned sensitivities ranging from having heightened capacity with one’s five physical sense organs, to empathic or precognitive perception, to full-blown mystico-psychic encounters. Being a highly sensitive person (HSP) on any range of the spectrum can cause subtle shifts and cues in one’s environment to blare as strongly as a loudspeaker announcement, and often lead the HSP to interpret and interact with the world around them in a manner that buffers them from the onslaught of external inputs. These two psycho-spiritual aspects of my personality bear a tremendous amount of weight and influence on my story.

Sheryl says that as a sensitive to energy and as an empath medium and healer there are many challenges to feeling the impact of words and the energies held in places events and in daily communication with people and perhaps 20 percent of the population who are highly sensitive have challenges in learning to utilize these gifts helping themselves and others.

In her book The Living Spirit Answers for Healing and Infinite Love Sheryl writes, “In The Living Spirit I share simple but powerful exercises that I personally use to shed negative energy, resistance, and mental clutter. These exercises and insights can help us to
protect ourselves from “energy vampires,” people who may try, knowingly or unknowingly, to rob us of our state of joy and well-being. Learning to act proactively rather than reactively may teach us how to respond when family and close friends are not supportive. Perhaps more importantly, I also share incredible stories from my own spiritual journey that will illustrate these points and hopefully illuminate the path for others. The timing for this book could not be better. For years, the metaphysical community has predicted a tremendous shift in human consciousness, and it is happening now. More than ever, people are feeling the need to rediscover their life’s purpose, and the economic downturn in recent years has given many the freedom, opportunity, and necessity to change their lives and work. Energy healing—including Reiki, Healing Touch, Reflexology, Chiropractic Adjustments, Acupuncture, Massage and Body Work, Rolfing, Polarity, Trager, Chromotherapy, Radionics, Alexander, Bioenergetics, Feldenkrais, Deep Tissue Work, Osteopathic Manipulation, and other modalities—has become one of the fastest growing fields of complementary health care, and it is part of my mission to help healers develop their God-given gifts. I have written The Living Spirit not just for healers, but for anyone who wants to
awaken to their soul’s mission and to the incredible plan God has for them. It is intended as a compassionate and supportive guide for others beginning their spiritual journey as mediums, psychics, and energy healers or simply for those with questions about who they are, what life is all about, and whether there is indeed life after death.

Megan tells us what Spirit Marriage is and how it is different from other psychic phenomena such as channeling or mediumship. Megan is one of those rare treasures and her book reflects sound research, deep understanding, and the type of clarity that will make it a classic for the researcher and practitioner alike. To these qualities, Megan offers a broad survey of types of spirit-beings encountered, traditional and contemporary approaches to the topic, and a view into the benefits and challenges of these companionships. Additionally, she offers us a rare glimpse into the lived experience of her research subjects as well as herself, and into subtleties that can only be known by experience. There is an old saying, “See and you will know, but do and you will understand—therein lies the difference between knowledge and wisdom.” This is wisdom in your hands.

Spirit marriage is a form of embodied spirituality and a transpersonal phenomenon. To put it as clearly as I can, it is the bonded or intimate relationship between a human and a subtle or discarnate entity such as a deity, spirit, or extraordinary intelligence. In this practice, the consciousness of the practitioner is linked or wedded to a specific entity, and the two beings share a co-creative consciousness forthwith. This practice has appeared in many cultures, among a strikingly large number of religious traditions ranging from African indigenous spirituality to Tantric yoga to Christian mysticism. The practice of union with a spirit can manifest in many different forms—channeling, possession, sexual encounters, visitations, and the like. However, for the purposes of her book, Megan has limited her definition of spirit marriage to practitioners who have gone through a ritual or ceremony of union, designed to align them with a particular spirit in a committed and dedicated fashion much like a marriage on earth between two living souls.

Megan has been in a spirit marriage for well over twenty years. In those years she has gleaned transformative wisdom from traditional folkloric material and revealed information that came through from her spirit companion as well as personal revelation. In fact, there was so much powerful material that she created a seven-year Faery Seership apprenticeship program that fosters these kinds of relationships for hundreds of people worldwide. Their lives have been deeply enriched by the material, and the spirit contacts that have been nurtured during the trainings have led my apprentices to become co creative agents of change—especially as it relates to ecology and ancestral healing. Her own life with an ancient nonphysical being led me to push off from all that was familiar, and journey into ancient and often uncharted landscapes of the soul of humanity, Earth, and the cosmos.

Her spirit marriage has expanded her positive impact on the world in ways she could never have imagined. Layers upon layers of wisdom have been gleaned from this profound symbiosis. Her spirit-wife, Brigh, and Megan have tested each other as her nature had to recalibrate her nature to ensure that we could co-create together in a healthy way
Whether it is the “fire in the head” (a sudden flash of illumination) of the Celtic tradition, or an inner-heating force that reveals the spiritual light of vision and inspiration, or a spiritual force or a spiritual being that is mediated or indwelled by a human host, profound wisdom and healing is often found in the spirit or invisible realm.

In ancient Rome, when a person had an uncommonly high intellect, its source was thought to be a particularly potent guiding spirit known as a genius. Thus, to this day we refer to a brilliant person as a genius. We all have these helpful spirits but most of us never allow ourselves to be open to them. And when they do come through, too often they are called demons—a word derived from the Greek word daemon, which originally denoted a divine being, not an infernal one.

In this book many types of informing spirits are discussed. They include human ancestral, faery, divine, and more. Each spirit marriage has its own nuances, challenges, and benefits, and each has changed its human counterpart forever. In the spirit marriage accounts relayed herein, Megan feels that spirit and human partnerships have always been important to the spiritual and intellectual development of humanity. The farseeing eyes of the ancient, immortal, divine, unseen, human ancestral, and other beings are crucial if we are to see outside of our limits and beyond time.

The bottom line is that humans are moving rapidly into an era of expanded and fluid states of consciousness, and we must perceive the invisible relationships between visible things if we are to grow with our own destiny. We are human-becoming; we are not finished growing in our understanding of healing, the intimate workings of our planet, the causes and cures for maladies likely induced by human technology, and actions that impact nature in ways we cannot see. If we are to thrive and if we are to save our Earth from a forthcoming extinction event, then we must perceive beyond the perspectives that challenge the life of our species and our world. The eyes that are invisible see what is invisible to our eye, whereas the ear that extends beyond the audible may hear a silent tongue of wisdom. Our ancestors held in highest esteem those who heard beyond the range of sound, who were guided by ancient forces, who knew the very beginning of life, and whose reach was into the unfolding future—for they knew the unknowable. Perhaps the time to know beyond knowing, sense beyond feeling, and dance in balance to a tune of helpful harmony is now.

Sheryl says as an intuitive empath and medium who connects to Universal source and downloads information to add herself family and clients she is aware that we are in the midst of a spiritual revolution helping through these challenging changing events of war pandemic political divide economic problems climate change being given an opportunity to transcend the physical issues and rise to a higher vibration of energy understanding feeling and acceptance surrendering to the immediate event as we go beyond it to create more tenable solutions.

Sheryl wrote in her newest book A New Life Awaits: Spirit Guided Insights to Support Global Awakening the following, “ Many years ago, after a series of mystical experiences that I could not explain with my logical mind, I found myself experiencing feelings within that related to a life that was more than my physical experience. As I began to quiet my mind, I began to know my inner thoughts in a way that went beyond the five senses and the way I was accustomed to experiencing the physical world. I became aware that I was able to use an intuitive sense that had nothing to do with my mind, years of education, or life experiences. It was a sense of knowingness and awareness to history, our humanity, and the past in a way that went beyond normal explanation. In dreams and in my interactions with numerous people that I later dis[1]covered were Spiritual guides brought into my conscious reality for the important purpose of realizing my life plan and my inner soul being, a new awareness emerged, enabling me to constantly review past beliefs seen purely from a physical indoctrination of this time, place, and present life experience into another way. I am incredibly more able to accept new ways of knowing myself and those who walk this journey with me and to discern the true meaning of life.

Spirit Marriage different from channeling or possession in that is a constant and continuous connection to enhance the personal and spiritual development of both souls who have committed themselves to each other to support love and assist in all areas of soul growth.

The practice of spirit marriage has allegedly been with us since the dawn of civilization. Through folklore and mythology, we hear of its ancient roots. We first start to see textual records of the practice in the ancient Mesopotamian sacred marriage, where it is reportedly undertaken to aid humans in the development and expansion of consciousness, both spiritual and every day. It is said to result in the development of extrasensory perception (ESP), esoteric revelation, and personal and societal transformation. Quite lofty outcomes! With that in mind, in Megan’s book we explore the possibility that spirit marriage as a viable means of personal and planetary evolution, and to investigate why it has seemingly been marginalized and obfuscated throughout history.

Personally, Megan believes that spirit marriage has the potential to be a kind of liberation spirituality. At crucial moments in history it seems that it has offered spiritual empowerment, co-creative engagement, and conscious evolution to its practitioners.

We are all surrounded and guided by entities beyond the physical human range and communicate with them in different ways. Some meditate and connect as Sheryl does to garnish guidance and information from these souls to help us merge our spiritual gifts and human life so using clairvoyant clairaudient clairsentient see hear feel smell taste and simply know through intuitive thoughts what Spirit wants us to know can lift up our awareness to a higher consciousness and serve to overcome human challenges. That is the difference between one highly sensitive person medium or channeler and another who chooses a Spirit Marriage for their spiritual growth.

Megan tells us why marrying a spirit has benefits. Megan postulates that the use of spirit marriage was and is a theurgic undertaking used by humans as a tool for personal transformation and evolution of consciousness—an assertion rooted in prehistorical hints of the phenomenon of Gods and Goddesses mating with humans.

And what is the purpose of this kind of bonded intimate relationship or what is the outcome of this kind of undertaking? (Co-creation, evolution of the species) perhaps. To better place this research within a psycho-spiritual context, let’s look at two key figures who have contributed to the realm of transpersonal philosophy and psychology and who also claimed an ongoing relationship with tutelary spirits or extraordinary guides. Although these relationships do not qualify as a spirit marriage as previously defined, these sources do report on the kinds of relationships that may be cultivated between humans and Otherworldly entities. They include well-known scholarly figures who have ascribed their ideas and inspirations to a relationship with a spirit guide or inner teacher. The Past First, the Austrian philosopher, social reformer, and esotericist Rudolph Steiner attributed much of his spiritual knowledge and practical philosophy to guidance by a group of nonphysical beings he called “the Masters.” In a Berlin lecture on July 14, 1904, Steiner reports, “The Masters can be regarded by us as Ideal. They have attained what we must attain in
the future. We can therefore question them about our future development.” Steiner claimed that his knowledge of plants, the cosmos, and human nature all came to him through his conversations with the Masters. His lectures from 1904 to 1909 often had references
to his calling on them to be present and thanking them for participating. And he specifically stated that in some instances that the Masters used his body to deliver a lecture. The Anthroposophical Society, founded by Steiner, later removed many of these references from the literature on him to distance him from the fake psychics and dubious channelers of the time.

Sheryl says it is too bad that was necessary for most people know the real deal and those who are truly messengers of Spirit as he and so many are and were in the past.

Much of this connection to Spirit and guides has been hidden in plain sight but we are just hearing about this now. Yet to be explored is the question of exactly why the mating of humans and angels was considered taboo. It is an open question as to whether the original act was a direct violation of God’s commandment or simply something frowned upon due to the aftermath of problems it created. According to paranormal investigator Andrew Collins, whose work centers on questioning the origin myths of Christianity, the early church fathers cultivated a climate of fear around the dangers of “seducing angels”—for the primary purpose of keeping women veiled and silent. Many of the early church leaders from the first to the third centuries used and openly quoted from the Enoch texts and generally accepted that the fallen angels possessed corporeal bodies. It was not until the fourth century that these assumptions were questioned, and subsequently the book of Enoch and many teachings on angelology were suppressed.

Accounts of Christian mystics and monastics from the Middle Ages still hint at the continuing presence of these fallen angels. It is also surmised that spirit lover practices may have been hidden in plain sight within Christianity. Specifically, St. Teresa of Avila’s autobiography is a primary testament to the ongoing practice of spirit marriage—or at least human-entity eroticism.

In her autobiography St. Teresa describes one encounter as follows:

I saw in his hand a long spear of gold, and at the iron’s point there seemed to be a little fire. He appeared to me to be thrusting it at times into my heart, and to pierce my very entrails; when he drew it out, he seemed to draw them out also, and to leave me all on fire with a great love of God. The pain was so great, that it made me moan; and yet so surpassing was the sweetness of this excessive pain, that I could not wish to be rid of it. The soul is satisfied now with nothing less than God. The pain is not bodily, but spiritual; though the body has its share in it. It is a caressing of love so sweet which now takes place between the soul and God, that I pray God The Past of His goodness to make him experience it who may think that I am lying.

We share our planet with many other species and beings—both seen and unseen from the bacteria that live as some of the smallest units of measurable life to the celestial forces and powers that shape our solar system. These “invisibles”—although most often unseen, unheard, and untouched—have long been held by many spiritual traditions as integral to human development. Indeed, on occasion they are believed to make themselves known and available to the worthy individual. The wisdom traditions of our planet have long held the practice of spirit marriage to be a powerful means for the cultivation of extraordinary powers, acceleration of evolutionary development, and progression of humanity. These practices are esoteric and often shrouded by mystery cults and shamanic initiations. The calling to a spirit marriage comes in many ways and affects each individual differently. As such, the procedure and journey vary from person to person. Whereas one person may self-medicate to shut out this extraordinary experience, another may be compelled to seek this union from an early age. Each person’s path to spirit marriage is unique. I believe it’s important to openly share our stories of extraordinary intimate spiritual contact so that we may frankly discuss what appears to be a thriving practice amongst a not insignificant portion of the population. To that end, in this section I’ve chosen to highlight the individual experiences of those who have participated in a spirit marriage, rather than just giving you an overview of the practices. I call this form of extraordinary, experiential storytelling normalizing the paranormal

Megan tell us something of after the marriage, when Brigh began to reveal the purpose of their union As she put it, Brigh used the platform of my humanity to teach me about humanity.” She inspired him to ask specific questions about the human experience, which led me to finally ask, “Brigh, there’s a wound in humanity and it’s delivering it to the ecology, delivering it to each other. She sensed it was something beyond our avoiding extinction, or even restoring our relationship with the life of this planet.

That is when Brigh revealed “the dampers on the blue flame of the soul.” Brigh said the number one damper, the number one wound in the human experience, is the illusion of isolation. This wound shows up primarily as abandonment pain, and abandonment pain expresses itself as fear, resentment, or shame. All the other dampers, she revealed, are products of this primary one. It became clear to Megan that humanity has a great need for reconnective remembering practices that were part of the original instructions of our species but have been lost or forgotten. Orion believes that all the medicine and indigenous wisdom practices, as well as the sacred teachings of the ancient world, hold these original instructions. Many of these practices have been destroyed due to persecution and suppression, and must be reclaimed, resurfaced, or repurposed for modern people.

The thing that drives people to spiritual traditions and religious practices is homesickness. It’s all homesickness. People want to feel connected to the family of life. When they’re willing to detox the fear . . . get rid of the illusion of isolation that breeds such things, like believing we’re exiled from the oneness of life, which we’re not. People want to feel home again, and they’re driven by this homesickness. Drug abuse, the overuse of alcohol, sex, you name it, is all connected to trying to feel alive, home. In order for me to teach this and to teach restorative and integrative practices, Brigh had me figuring out with her a way to help awaken those senses in the students that would come [to study with us].

Sheryl agrees that it was her search for HOME that led her to delve into metaphysical and alternative healing methods as well as meditation and developing her mediumship abilities so she could understand Spirit, Spirit Communication, the Afterlife. and Universal Energy to know that we are never alone and connected to the energies of our beginning from our Home to physical life and always connected to the Divine and every other living entity “All The Time.”

One of the most important points emphasizes repeatedly in our conversations is how healing and regenerative a spirit marriage can be. She emphasizes how our fear of sexuality and intimacy often leads to disease in our bodies, minds, and spirits, and how opening to the spirits can help us heal this. One of her key motivators for agreeing to be interviewed was her desire to set the record straight on this front: The spirits don’t make us sick. We make ourselves sick with our own fear and repression, by rejecting the gifts they have for us.

Entheosis (Awakening the Divine Within) relates to Spirit Marriage. Entheosis is an ideology to inspire the rising generation to reach the heights of their potential, ignite their curiosity to venture into challenging new learning experiences, and empower them to be leaders through service who are committed to family and community.

Dr. Megan Rose might like readers to take away with them after reading Spirit Marriage a better understanding of Magic. She writes, “Finally, I offer a note on the term magic. In renowned parapsychologist Dean Radin’s groundbreaking work Real Magic: Ancient Wisdom, Modern Science and a Guide to the Secret Power of the Universe, he explores the intersection of science and magic, stating: “Real magic falls into three categories: mental influence of the physical world, perception of events distant in space or time, and interactions with nonphysical entities . . . [Magic can be reframed as the academic study of the full capacities of consciousness in light of the rising interest in informational descriptions of reality.”

She follows his definition and writes, “I define magic as a consciousness-based technology—that utilizes the emotions, thoughts, and vital/erotic energy of the human body in collaboration with the vibration, magnetism, and regenerative qualities of Earth and her morphogenetic field—to affect change. These two physical systems, human body and nature body, are not limited to the surface world. My training as a Faery Seer has taught me that we also collect and circulate the energy of the cosmos and the under- world throughout both our human and natural systems. However, for the purposes of this definition, magic is the end result of all three levels—upper, middle, and lower—working together through demonstrable manifestation’,

We thank Megan Rose author of Spirit Marriage for sharing an in-depth exploration of the practice relevance and purpose of Spirit Marriage around the world and exploring the phenomenon of the spirit spouse or spirit lover—an entity to which a human is psychically bonded as she shares her interviews with ten contemporary practitioners of spirit marriage.

In summarizing today’s episode of Healing From Within Dr. Megan Rose has shown us that Spirit Marriages like marriages between any two people or entities of human or divine nature offer opportunities to evolve know ourselves our world and universe going beyond the physical five senses to develop psychic and feelings that guide us to know we are more than physical beings but spiritual souls having a physical life for the CHANCE to remember the eternal nature of all living sentient beings and to grow more loving in energy light love and compassion.

In the stories of spirit marriages of ten people Megan references Suzette and writes “Suzette suggested that being married to a spirit is not all that different from being married to a human. You are in a relationship with a someone. You are married to a person, a consciousness, except they are not in a physical body. You cultivate a relationship with your spirit spouse just like you would a relationship with a physical spouse. You talk to them every day, not just once a week on a “special” day. You carry out a daily ongoing dialogue in which you share your hopes, dreams, fears, and concerns. Megan shared with Suzette her belief that we season ourselves with the relationships we develop in life, and spirit relationships are no different. We bring things to them; they bring things to us. We become more of who we truly are by being in relationship with someone else, and we are given greater access to the realms of spirit and expanded consciousness by seasoning ourselves with spirit marriage.”

Dr. Meghan Rose and Sheryl Glick Reiki Master Energy Teacher would have you know that each of us are presented with people and experiences that come to us in the course of a physical lifetime which are neither random or meaningless. We have the free will to choose and explore those situations as a platform to expand and evolve into a higher sense of our divine soul presence. Relationships are the prime reason for a physical life. Wherever you find love healing and higher awareness of yourself know that relationship is meaningful,
Relationships with our spiritual friends, guides, angels, higher vibrational beings, and Source or creation are ALL wonderful opportunities to simple FEEL and know life in its fullness. Let yourself be open to these possibilities.

Welcome to Healing From Within with your host Sheryl Glick RMT Reiki Master Energy Teacher medium and author of the newest book in a trilogy A New Life Awaits: Spirit Guided Insights to Support Global Awakening which shares stories and messages from Spirit that show us our challenges are not merely economic political or societal but often a deep disconnect from our true inner being or soul wisdom. Today I am delighted to welcome Judy Wilkins-Smith author of Decoding Your Emotional Blueprint which is a powerful guide to transformation through disentangling multigenerational patterns every human being grapples with and uncovering these DNA patterns helps to understand both the limitations and gifts that are innately ours.

Judy as listeners of the show over the years have discovered my intuitive and open- hearted guests share intimate and insightful stories of awakening to the deepest aspects of their inner being and in doing so spread new understanding of eternal energy and divine possibilities to be and do all that their dreams lead them to becoming better equipped to employ the energy of soul and physical life to create and become the best version of yourself by learning and loving as spiritual beings having a physical life to self master their emotions and have a happy healthy prosperous life journey.

In today’s episode of Healing From Within Judy tells us the day you agree to become “Big” is the humblest day of your life. Because, that’s the day you are truly in service of your best life and the lives around you. Being “big” challenges you to expand your consciousness and live as a free spirit.” We will discover that every human being is born to be remarkable. And yet every human being is shaped by patterns handed down by their ancestors—invisible multi-generational patterns of decisions, thoughts, feelings, actions, reactions and choices that limit their responses to events and influence every decision of their lives, unconsciously running the show. We will uncover these Emotional DNA patterns, embrace them and learn to make new choices and rewire the brain to become like the phoenix the best of who we really are.

When Judy is asked to think back to her childhood and remember a person place or event that may have shown the lifestyle or interests she might embrace as an adult for it seems we are born with a life plan and destiny and the imprint of our ancestors and have merely to remember who we are and what this life is supposed to be about Judy says two things come to mind. She had a teacher who asked for someone to go get medical supplies and Judy jumped up and said I will get them because I’m going to be a doctor and the teacher said that Tracey should do it as she was going to be the doctor and Judy a writer. Judy also remembers when Walt Disney died when she was about eight or nine years old and she felt so bad for she thought who is going to bring magic into the world and she decided she would just have to do it and always open to the “portal of possibility.”

We know people the world over are fascinated with their ancestry. Over 100M family trees have been built on Ancestry.com alone. Judy shows us why it is important to recognize the patterns in your life and also research those family trees for a greater understanding of our Emotional DNA. In her book, we will explore the conscience of systems and understand how “acknowledging what is” is a pivot point to what’s possible for you. You will learn to identify the patterns that want to stop and start for you. You will learn about the wisdom of your heart, brain, and gut and how constellations help to create profound and lasting shifts. We have the incredible ability to evolve into whatever we choose. As you read this book, Decoding Your Emotional Blueprint, you may be shocked to realize the limiting patterns you have unconsciously taken on as your own from past generations. Yet, you will also find yourself inspired by the wisdom of the multigenerational patterns in your family system and their gifts of emotional DNA waiting to be seen, enhanced, or changed through you and for you. Transformation is not for the chosen few. It’s been here waiting for you all along. You are a remarkable being—you just have to know how to see you. Once you learn who you are through the lens of systemic work and constellations, you will see that there is an incredible life just waiting for you to shape and embody it.

There is scientific evidence of Emotional DNA. That said, we are all human, and many people can’t immediately bring themselves to move out of judgment. Perhaps your father is really toxic, and you struggle with even thinking about him. However, when you learn how to see and understand what lives in his experience, something may shift for you. When you do your own deep work and your heart, head, and gut grasp what the family situation really was and see what your father was experiencing that made him so toxic, you may be able to accept the new context this deeper dimension of information creates. Doing so can prompt a new truth for you that allows you to shift . . . which is the whole point. Otherwise, you, too, may unconsciously follow the pattern and become toxic. It’s not about your mom or dad or whoever. It’s about you. When you shift your thoughts and understanding, you can escape ancient history and begin creating new emotional DNA. In doing this, you are also giving part of your emotional blueprint a different meaning and potential outcome. After that, your relationship with your family system and its members—and with yourself—will no longer be the same

We begin to understand our Relationship Patterns in order to become “Unstuck.” This lack of judgment is not easy to adopt, but it is necessary. Getting unstuck from patterns in the family system means approaching issues as openly as possible, exploring the system and all it contains—abuse, sexual molestation, abandonment, joy, sorrow, love, lack of love with curiosity, so we can find the information that can help us heal. If we judge and reject people or events that occur within a system, we exclude ourselves from a possible source of wisdom—an answer to an inexplicable limitation or the directions for our dreams to follow. For example, I had a client whose mother left her when she was eight. It broke her heart; she had dreadful fears of abandonment and was totally emotionally stuck around this issue. She didn’t trust relationships yet desperately wanted one and kept looking for someone to stay. At the same time, she searched for their flaws and felt terrified they would leave too. Yet when we looked at how independent she was and how good she was at figuring things out, she could see that her mother’s absence had given her the ability to take
care of herself and ignited a fierce desire in her to be available to her own children no matter what. Gifts are often disguised and hidden within the pain and messiness of the family system and its dynamics. But they are always there. We have just not been taught to see them. That said, we are all human, and many people can’t imagine why they feel so bad when they make mistakes…they want to be perfect, but in human form we can never be perfect only learning from our mistakes and loving ourselves even through what we feel are failures.

Sheryl tells us of the false illusion of Perfection and in her new book A New Life Awaits writes, “Many seek to be the best they can be and are encouraged to be perfect. They do not allow less for themselves than what others deem to be perfect for them. But since we are always in a state of change, the ideas and wishes of others are not nearly as important as our welcoming the experiences and challenges that surface and handling them to the best of our ability. We should aim to become a person who doesn’t find fault in others, moving past personal obstacles with courage, hope, and faith to find peace. Be free of any influence of others that take that state of mind-peace away from you. In the imperfection of each life lies the way to understand perfection is in the being not the doing.”

Sheryl goes on to say that there are no failures, only opportunities for experiences necessary to refine our soul energy and grow more aware of our true nature and capacity to love.

Judy tells us that several of her clients have said, “My family is cursed.” It seems an extreme declaration until we realize that research shows that patterns of thoughts, feelings, actions, and even events in areas like health, relationships, and leadership can be passed down through the generations. I see it play out in families who struggle with certain issues like lack of education, dysfunctional relationships, addiction, failure in careers, or an inability to create financial success. It is not a curse, it’s an inheritance. I call this inheritance your emotional DNA, and it is based on your interpretation of the events in the emotional blueprint of your family system. Your emotional DNA is expressed very strongly in your thoughts, words, tone, and meaning-making. The language that you speak creates your truth, direction, purpose, sense of self, and sense of others. It creates your future, whether successful, mediocre, or dismal. Your family system’s emotional DNA is also felt very strongly in your body, even when you’re not aware of it. The feelings that arise as part of a system give us a strong internal compass to steer by. We know we’re in alignment with our family or organizational systems because we can feel it. We know we’re in bad conscience with the system because we feel it. We know when we belong or when we’re being excluded because we feel it.

Judy tells us about Systemic Work and Constellations. Even if you feel like you’ve been hitting the same brick wall in the same way over and over again—making then losing money, walking away from relationships, helping others succeed at the cost of your own success or well-being, not feeling good enough to succeed all the way—I’m here to tell you
anyone can use systemic work and constellations to change and grow into their potential and their dreams. I’ve seen people restore broken relationships, establish lasting ones, move past their limiting money thoughts and behaviors, lean into stability, and bring wealth to their family. I see people understand origins of chronic multigenerational conditions and release them in favor of a healthier body and mind. Transformation is not for a chosen few. It’s available to all of us. And when you suddenly see and understand patterns in your family
system or other systems of influence, when you listen to your heart and the wisdom of your ancestors and climb out from beneath the tangled patterns that you and they have interwoven, you will be amazed and overjoyed to see the possibilities that are waiting for you.

We easily navigate complex systems every day, adapting to fit each one’s rules. If you are a child of divorced parents, you learn very quickly that there are different rules in Mom’s system than in Dad’s. You can watch TV for as long as you want at Dad’s house. In Mom’s house, everything is done by the book, and you cannot watch TV until you’ve done your homework. When you go to school, you don’t take the family dog. When you drive to work, you follow the rules of the road. You don’t go into a bar and pray, and you don’t go to a church and start cussing. It’s that simple. We are surrounded by systems.

We live in a planetary system situated in a relatively unpopulated area of our galaxy. On our planet we have created highway and telephone systems, computer systems, political systems, business systems, clubs, and social and economic systems like capitalism. Any
collection of people coming together within a common framework that contains rules and regulations for its members to follow to ensure belonging and survival of the group is a system.

Our primary pattern maker is our family system consisting of our parents, siblings, and other relatives. It is our most influential system and the origin of much of our success and failure. A large part of systemic work centers around the patterns created in the family—their origins, content, and impact. Systems teach us how we can and cannot behave and how to succeed or fail within them, and they define our parameters for belonging with respect to relationships, money, emotions, leadership, spirituality, success, and purpose by impressing behavioral patterns upon us. For example, a family might have strict rules for children of dating age and follow certain rituals, such as always eating Sunday dinner together or not eating with cell phones at the table. Clubs have rules pertaining to membership, and corporations have rules bringing people together for a particular mission with shared work ethics, goals, inter-office rules, etc.

In organizations we call the system’s thoughts, feelings, and patterns its culture.

It was German psychotherapist Bert Hellinger, the “father” of systemic work and constellations, who recognized that every individual family is a system in its own right. At age twenty, Hellinger entered the religious order of the Jesuits. In the early 1950s, the order sent him to South Africa to bring Christianity and “civilized” thinking to the Zulu tribe. However, living within the tribe, he soon realized that it was the Zulus who were teaching him. As he learned their language and participated in their rituals and daily routines, he observed that individually and as a tribe, they didn’t have many neuroses, and he couldn’t understand why. Gradually he noticed that the strength of their connections to their ancestors, whom they frequently consulted to find out what might have happened in the past, was influencing what was going on in the present. He realized that their respect for the
family system and their desire to understand what might be unresolved within prior generations had led them to a healthy approach for tackling issues within the family and the tribe as a whole. Essentially, they knew that an unresolved past was in the way of a dynamic future.

After living with the Zulus, he left the priesthood and South Africa, eventually becoming a certified psychoanalyst. Over the next few decades, he developed Family Constellations and Systemic Constellations. He explored all manner of systems, travelling, lecturing, and teaching all over the world. By the time he died, he’d founded the Hellinger School and written over ninety books explaining his insights, mostly into family systems and what was happening within them.

There are what Hellinger calls “orders” of the soul in systems. Orders are overarching, deep truths that are present in all systems. Hellinger names three.1 I have extrapolated and created a fourth order because I see it a lot in systemic work. First order: Everybody has a right to belong. Every single event, every member, every decision belongs because each one shapes the system that shapes you.

Judy goes on to tell us, “One of the basic tenets of all systemic work is that evolution lies in observation, acknowledgment, and giving each member in a system their place. There is no judgment of people or events. Whatever is there is there. Whatever happened, happened. It might not be pleasant or kind or healthy. It may well be horrific. But every event serves a purpose and gives information. It all belongs, and when we can acknowledge what has happened as it is without wishing for it to be different, then we can learn from it, choose something different, and evolve

We can identify inherited Relationship Patterns. We are deeply connected. From the time we’re conceived until long after we die, we’re part of a multigenerational family system that goes back to the dawn of humanity. We’re part of a social system thousands of years in the making. We can see this legacy in our own lives: most of us are raised in a religious system of some sort, and all of us are the product of widely differing cultures. All of these different
systems—their unique traits, their defining decisions, and the language we have inherited from our family system (our parents, grandparents, and those who came before them; our siblings; and our children) and our organizational systems (the companies we work in, the careers we choose)—determine how we think, what we think about, what we feel, what we choose, and how we act and live. They determine the direction our lives take, often shaping our fate when we should be creating our destiny. These systems that influence us, commanding our unconscious loyalty from first breath to last, are largely invisible yet intensely powerful.”

The following examples show how within us is an ancestral connection to the tragedies and difficulties our ancestors faced. ”We haven’t got a clue that great-great-grandfather’s terrifying struggle with poverty after the Bolshevik Revolution destroyed the family fortune is what drives us to pinch every penny long after our bank balance has passed the million-dollar mark. We have no idea that the anxiety that overwhelms us every time we’re alone at night stems from a long-dead ancestor’s abandonment as a little child. We just pop a Xanax and soldier on. We don’t realize that our career ambitions started when we saw our parents struggle.

Or how about what happened to Lucia? She came to me puzzled and upset because yet another fast-growing, non-cancerous tumor had bloated her abdomen into a mock pregnancy. This was the seventh tumor she’d had in as many years, and her doctors had no idea why her body kept producing them. She’d had six surgically removed so far, and each time a tumor formed, her body would swell as if she were with child. During our work together, it came to light that her grandmother had had seven miscarriages. Her grandmother and the rest of the family had refused to speak about any of those lost babies because it was too painful. Through a systemic lens, we know that what or who we exclude from our own experience finds a way to reappear through someone else later in the system. Exclusion of a grandmother who is institutionalized can reappear as a child who feels trapped in some way or excluded from the family. When Lucia could acknowledge each one of those seven beings, giving all the missing ones their place in the family system, the seventh mass shrank within a month. No surgery was needed, and no more tumors occurred after that.

Once we identify those patterns, we can break free of them. When I work with people to explore their family system, we surface the hidden patterns and unconscious loyalties between and around family members going back several generations. We examine the language and actions the family uses. Clients learn to create a full-on 3D experience
around their issues and aspirations . Together we explore their pain and fear, the insistence that they’re always second best, the belief that they’re always “the invisible one” or “the unloved one” or “the unworthy one.” They actually walk through the emotional pattern that’s
stunted their growth and, in a short period of time, they “get” the pattern and rewire their brains, changing how they think and act for good. “Oh!” I hear people say. “I’m not this small incapable being I thought I was. I’m really bigger than that! I can really make a difference with my voice and my presence!” Or, “I never saw that before! No wonder I’ve been so ___________ (afraid, resentful, anxious, fill in the blank).

On Valentine’s Day many people are not feeling the love. Your ancestry could be messing up your love life Tell us something of this. Remember, if you are adopted, you have twice the field and energetic flow—once from your biological parents and the second time from the parents who chose you. You don’t have less, you have more. You know the gifts your adoptive parents gave you. What are the gifts your biological parents passed on? Did it take courage to have you and give you up? Selflessness? What other gifts did they pass on that you have not considered? Your strength? Your smile? Your humor? Your gift of
music? Systemic patterns pass on to you whether you are conscious of them or not. You have only to watch shows like Long Lost Family to see how patterns repeat. Even when we don’t know our family of origin growing up, it’s surprising to find how much of their history we have repeated without even knowing them.

Burgeoning studies indicate that external factors such as diet and exercise, trauma, emotional stress, and other physical and psychological effects can result in epigenetic changes that can be passed down to subsequent generations. For example, rats exposed to prenatal stress, maternal separation, abusive caregiving, and adult social stress show epigenetic changes in their DNA. There is also evidence that abusive caregiving traits are passed down to both offspring and grand-offspring.

Judy shares with us that studies of children of Holocaust survivors have revealed that the trauma their ancestors experienced may have left a chemical mark on their genes that was passed down, resulting in higher anxiety levels, lower self-esteem, greater inhibition of
aggression, and more relational difficulties than those found in control groups. Love then and the ability to give and receive love depend on physical elements and the conditioning of generations of our relatives who may have suffered and endured hardships that affected their soul spirit and physical DNA . Healing some of the issues of our families history can open our hearts to greater compassion and love for self and others.

A system to bring love into your life

Set up a constellation of all the men in your life. Be sure to include a representative for yourself. Look for patterns and relationships. Set up a constellation with you, your family, and all the men in your life. Look at the relationships not only between men and women but
also between women and women and men and men in the multigenerational pattern that has you stuck. If there’s enough information, set up a constellation of your mother and all the men in her life. Once you’ve set up the constellation, look for relationships. Who is close to whom, and who is further away? Just that initial picture in front of you begins to bring insight to what may be happening and illuminate your issue. Links, relationships, and patterns begin to emerge along with those pesky little jailers, our unconscious loyalties. I have women who tell me men don’t stick around in relationships only to find that a man in their family system left, or was lost. The original woman who was left may have said
something like: “You can’t depend on a man, they all disappear.” Then generations of women are loyal to that saying and, in effect, to that first woman who lost her man. There seems to be an inner systemic sentence that goes something like this: “Dear Mom. If you couldn’t keep a man, I won’t either.” And now all the women unconsciously align with the governing sentence in the family system.

You can change that system by letting go of that person’s ideas and not embracing them any longer. Change your own thoughts to a more positive way to relate to a loved one and change your reality and love will follow your new thoughts.

Judy might life readers to remember after reading your book? Decoding Your Emotional Blueprint that life is change and change is possible because the brain is always able to adapt. As American psychiatrist Dr. Milton Erickson once said, “If you want happiness, you have to work for it. ”And, he was right. Happiness in life isn’t automatic or guaranteed. But no matter what the past has brought us, the possibility for creating the world we want, including happiness, begins with us. Until recently, doctors and researchers believed that
the human brain was “hard wired” by the time we were in our twenties—that our thoughts and beliefs were difficult, if not impossible, to change after that, and that we inevitably became more inflexible as we got older.

And yet, as far back as the early twentieth century, the “father of neuroscience,” Santiago Ramón y Cajal, described nonpathological changes in the neuronal structure of adult brains as “neuronal plasticity.” In 1949, the Canadian psychologist Donald Hebb studied how neurons in the brain adapt during learning. He talked about how new neuronal patterns in the brain are developed through association, famously saying, “Neurons wire together if they fire together.” By the time the 1960s came along, the term “neuroplasticity” had come into vogue, but the age-old belief that adult brains are unchanging prevailed in the mainstream until the end of the century. Fortunately, researchers like American psychiatrist Norman Doidge, MD, author of the book The Brain That Changes Itself: Stories of Personal Triumph from the Frontiers of Brain Science, have finally helped us change our minds. “The brain can change itself,” writes Doidge. “It is a plastic, living organ that can actually change its own structure and function, even into old age.” The vision of a living, changing brain that responds to new experiences throughout one’s lifespan is most certainly a vision of hope.

Studies now show that new neural pathways can be formed or reprogrammed over a period of about twenty-one days, with the new behavior becoming automatic within sixty-six days on average. And yet most people live on autopilot most of their lives, changing very little. This is, to a great extent, because our neural pathways operate under the law of least effort or the path of least resistance, allowing us to conserve mental energy and respond quickly to life experiences

We thank you Judy Wilkins Smith author of Decoding Your Emotional Blueprint for using your ability to understand critical dynamics in personal and organizational systems and the points at which they intersect, to create growth and success. Your passion about visionary leadership and positive global change is much needed during these critical changing times.

In summarizing today’s episode of Healing From Within we clearly have seen that everything in our development from the earliest days of this life to the imprints of ancestors and family dysfunction fear and limitations affect our decisions and choices and until we realize the patterns and make changes in our thoughts and actions we are being overly affected and restricted from living our most authentic and healthy life experience here and now.

Judy wrote, “Evolution is a step-by-step process. What worked for one generation likely won’t work for the next precisely because we are evolving. Unfortunately, we tend to demonize what came before us, judging our predecessors for their beliefs, lifestyles, and actions. Even as the survivors of World War II were sitting around watching John Wayne movies, reminiscing about the liberation of Europe and American soldiers’ heroism, their children were marching in the streets shouting anti-Vietnam War counterculture slogans like, “Make love, not war!” We also judge our successors. We look at the “youngsters” who come after us and call them reckless and irresponsible precisely because we are not seeing the world through their generational lens, facing their generational issues. We sneer at the future, unable to see beyond the limits of our old rules. Instead of celebrating the steps forward and the steps behind us, each generation excludes the other instead of learning from each other. We can sometimes fail to put into evolutionary context what looks to us now like errors and limitations. Those were the solutions the system came up with for its time and place. When we only negatively label our forefathers and mothers, we exclude their lived wisdom from the system and set the stage for old patterns to repeat. Growth comes with a commitment to look at and learn from past and future generations with
appreciation and informed perspective, not with hate, blame, and judgment. Instead of labeling things as wrong, it is so much more helpful when we notice that life happens in steps—that we are all standing on “our step,” looking to take the next step up. When old and new systems collaborate, we benefit broadly. If we can garner wisdom from the past and be open to and curious about the future, we take our foot off the brake and grow and elevate.”

Judy and I would have you begin to appreciate yourself as you continue to grow and prosper through self-awareness self-love and self-acceptance of all that is and become an observer of your own reactions to others and to situations so you may remember many of your behaviors are based on past imprints from family and ancestors and you can change those that no longer bring you happiness. Create new thoughts and patterns that fit your perspectives in the moment.

Welcome to Healing From Within. I am your host Sheryl Glick RMT medium, author of the newest book in a trilogy A New Life Awaits: Spiritual Insights to Support Global Awakening which shares stories and messages from Spirit that show us our greatest challenges are not economic political or societal but often simply a disconnect from our inner soul awareness. Today we are delighted to welcome Tamika S. Thomas, author of The Sensitive Stone, showed us that many people who are seen as too sensitive have an amazing ability to constantly overextend themselves to help others through their trials and tribulations. They work too hard and exhaust themselves, sometimes succumbing to emotional stress, anxiety or anger issues. But once they master their own will to be balanced and strong, the good they do in the world is admirable.

Tamika as listeners of Healing from Within, well known over the years, my amazing insightful and knowledgeable authors share intimate and intuitive stories that help us unravel many of the mysteries of the duality of life, both energetic and physical . We seek to answer age old questions. Who are we? Where did life come from? And What happens at the end of our physical life?

In today’s episode of Healing from Within Tamika S. Thomas will share the nature of sensitivity as the gift and challenge it can be for those who love deeply and are their own unique group of helpers or spiritual messengers. We thank Tamika for joining us on Healing From Within to discuss her own growing awareness of energy and how to apply Universe laws to enhance and improve human life for all sensitive people which in some respects is everyone.

When Tamika is asked to think back to her childhood and remember a person place or event that may have influenced her life direction and interests as she grew into the adult version of herself Tamika tells us she was born a preemie—breech birth—and a little doctor had to rush in to safely unwrap the umbilical cord from around her tiny neck. Though she made it, she has been fighting to express her somebodiness ever since. In the beginning, she developed slower than others. Apparently, it was ammunition for people to spit venom whenever they needed to feel good about themselves. When there was an audience around, they went for the Grammy! You’re stupid! You will never amount to anything! You’re nothing and you will never be! That’s why you’re in Special Ed! Those words killed me inside. It felt like I was the only one being ridiculed simply because, mentally, I did not develop as quickly as others early in life.

Sheryl says the traumas of early life often leave an imprint on our bodies and minds and until we realize they are but a memory of that past time and place and don’t hold power over us now in this moment, can we be free to create new realities for ourselves. Sheryl shares as she often has related synchronicities or coincidences with her guests that her twin granddaughter had much the same birth experience and while not a preemie was much smaller than her sister and if the doctor had not intervened using great skill, a caesarian section might have been needed even though Sheryl had been sending Reiki energy and prayers throughout her daughter’s pregnancy for a natural birth.

Some of the characteristics of a sensitive and a sensitive might not always be an empath

The Too Sensitive Chart Telltale signs you might be too sensitive

You can be guilted into doing something you are against
You can be guilted out of something you are passionate about
Negative opinions about you affect you
You may even find yourself constantly explaining and defending yourself
You constantly offer to help when it is not asked of you
You lose yourself trying to see the good in others
You spend way too much time trying to get others to understand your point of view
Compliments given to you feel awkward or undeserving
You allow people to mooch off you
It is hard to say “No” and stick to it
Your “no” to someone else makes your “yes” to yourself seem bad and selfish
You overextend and exhaust yourself for others
You believe others are more deserving of what they desire than you are
You give what you barely have and even go into debt to help another
You feel guilty for spending money or time on yourself
You can’t find your heart Oh, look! There it is! It’s on your sleeve
Your superhero cape is dirty because you never take it off
You don’t appreciate the beauty in being beautifully you

Tamika writes, “In the eyes of the many, people who are too emotional are coined too sensitive. They do not have a backbone and need to have a thick skin. While it is true, we are too sensitive, it is also true that we have this amazing ability to constantly overextend ourselves to help others through their trials and tribulations. We love too hard, lose ourselves, succumbing to emotional and mental instability such as having meltdowns, anxiety, and anger issues.

Some of the patterns that can lead to detrimental habits that can harm us are the too sensitive part that comes in when we continuously exceed our capacity even when we know we are being depleted. We don’t realize that this depletion takes a toll on us. For instance, let’s say that you have a car full of gas. You’re driving everyone all over the place without stopping to refuel your tank. You see the gas getting low. Do you stop to get gas, or do you keep driving until everyone is home? You probably would stop to get gas, otherwise you’d be stuck in the middle of nowhere. You wouldn’t know how you were going to get home. No one would be aware you are in trouble, so chances are no one would be able to assist you. Would you make it home? Eventually, but look at the toll it would take if you did not take heed to your gas running on empty. When we do not take the time to “refuel,” our energy runs on “empty.” We cannot be our best selves, which leaves us feeling lost, confused, and left behind. Do you see where the dangerous part comes in?

There are 6 types of sensitives.

First you must know the 9 traits of a sensitive.

THE SENSITIVE TRAITS

The worrying one: You worry about everything all the time.

The introverted superhero You stay to yourself but will dash out of your comfort zone to help others.

The somewhere-in-between one You want to fit in, but you also want to be yourself. This trait causes you to constantly explain the kind of person you are to satisfy others.

The good and bad news one You hesitate to speak your good news, fearing that others will feel bad about their unfortunate situations.

The lose-an-opportunity one You hold off on “rising” if it affects other people’s shine. You may also inconvenience yourself so that others feel more comfortable.

The peacemaker You expect everyone to be accountable in a situation for the sake of fairness. However, this can make situations worse.

The “bright side” guilty one You feel guilty for always looking on the “bright” side.

The Sensitive Frenemy The sensitive frenemy is someone who will do anything for attention, even if it means putting a friend in harm’s way. This is the most dangerous trait of all!

The Judgy One Sometimes when we are being compassionate with someone, we can become frustrated or pushy if we don’t see them becoming the best versions of themselves. We can become hurtful or controversial without realizing it

How exactly did we get this sensitive? Well, I can certainly say that we did not just wake up one morning and decide, “I know what I wanna be. I wanna be too sensitive. I want to go above and beyond for everyone and lose myself in the process.”

There are several reasons why people have become sensitive ones.

Some sensitives have low self-esteem. People with low self-esteem need someone else to make them feel special. They need to feel needed, liked, and validated. Over time it can become a habit that they won’t be able to break even when they know that they should.

Another reason sensitive ones become sensitive is because of the perception of how we should treat others. At a young age, most of us learned that we should treat people as kindly and as compassionately as we were treated or as we would like to have been treated. And though we were born with attributes that we used for the benefit of others, we forgot to use those attributes on ourselves.

Being kind is admirable but we must realize that just because we are kind, others do not have to be. But kindness makes the world a better place, doesn’t it? In your and my opinion, yes. But this is just our opinion. If everyone were kind without a level of balance, we’d all believe that the word “no” was unkind just because others may feel bad about us saying “no” to them. Whether we feel it is best for the world, everyone does not have to be kind.

Kindness is more of an individual and moral choice than it is an obligation.

Sheryl says it seems we must learn that not everyone is on the same path and we must accept everyone as they are even though we are not that way. Allow, accept, and surrender and hold your own personal power truth and be free of judgment and controlling others.

A sensitive must find their inner rock. You cannot become the rock you need to become if you do not know and accept your worth. You will not be able to continue this journey if you do not actualize your self-worth. You will not implement the practices or enforce them if you do not truly know what it means to be worthy.

Though many of us really are too emotional, that is not the extent of what being too sensitive is. Being a Sensitive One is like being a superhero with a backwards power. We help people heal. We do and say things to encourage them. We even make them feel like they are safe enough to breathe, laugh, and live. We help them feel as if they can conquer their issues and work toward their goals. Do you know the amount of strength it takes to do that? Go on. Pat yourself on the shoulder. You deserve it

When people say we are too sensitive, they are most likely referring to our emotional state. They are referring to our outbursts, meltdowns, cold shoulders, and withdrawals. And it may be that we have good reasons for our emotional imbalance, but that does not mean we cannot take the time to learn how to control it. The Sensitive Stone is not just about how to stop going above and beyond our capacity for others. That was only part of it. It was, just as important, about how to undo the damage caused by our superhero-super sensitive nature. It is about how to calm our inner selves after the storm that had brewed for so long.

We can learn to control our emotions. From Tamika’s own experience and the experiences of others, she has come to understand that something that triggers us is powered by the belief we have in it. Our belief in this “thing” has the power to persuade or dissuade us. It can encourage or discourage us. It can free or imprison us. It can make us stand still or help us move forward. It can inspire us, but it can also destroy us. This thing can make us lose or find ourselves. The most amazing thing about this thing is that its power can grow or weaken. This thing is called “WORDS.”

You may have heard the phrase, “sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me.” That applies to those who do not believe in the words people use to hurt them. Just like in the song, “Let it go!” There is a beautiful phrase that I use very often to brush off the cold words people say to me, “the cold doesn’t bother me anyway.”

You see, words can trigger us when we give them power. How many times has someone told you something you did not believe? When you did not believe the meaning in their words, they held no power. The power in words is measured by the level of belief we have in them. Also, the level of importance and power in the words depends on who speaks them. For instance, if a stranger says that you are nothing, it may hold no value. If someone whose words you value utters those same words, it can devastate you.

When we are affected by the moods of others, we must consider that sometimes their moods are not necessarily about us We just happen to be around them when they are in their feelings, and we get caught in the crossfire

Whether or not someone is being mean to us personally or because they are just in a mood, we must accept that people do not pick their moods; it just happens that way

At some point in my relationship with my ex, I had to act Instead of waiting for him to come around, I decided to keep my distance from himI made a habit of doing it to the point it became second nature Unfortunately, it just made us grow further apart until we eventually ended It hurt for quite some time, but time healed that wound

The thing about moods… Sometimes when people are in a mood, we do not allow them to deal with their issues on their own

We want to help them so that they are not in a bad mood, but this can make things worse Sometimes people just need to be alone without our interference It’s kind of like when a child has to sit in a corner and think about their behavior That is what others have to do Sit and think about their mood and why they are in one in the first place They need time to absorb what they are feeling before they can resume being the people we know and care for

We are all unpredictable beings. Our moods change with our circumstances. We won’t always agree with someone’s mood swings. But we can learn to get out of the way and let others be

Tamika are some tips you can give to those who may feel too sensitive or others may call too sensitive?

One tip might be…..When you are speaking to someone about their problems, you can envision that each person has their very own basket in which you will allow their contents (issues, concerns, and thoughts) to reside

Imagine that each basket is a different size depending on the level of importance this person has in your life

Once their basket is filled with their contents, that is the extent to which your capacity should allow

This means that while you are engaging in anyone’s situation, you can still be present, but you are limiting how much of yourself you are investing

It is also important to imagine that each basket has a lid

Once you have invested your capacity, put the lid on the basket so that none of their contents leak out into your daily life

The point of that exercise is not to disregard someone else’s problems

The point is to not always be available because we won’t know how and when to turn it off

We must be able to measure our capacity

We must be able to separate our contents from someone else’s

This is how we keep other people’s contents from being attached to us

We can still listen

We can still understand, and we can still offer advice

But with practice, this can be an effective way to establish a safe emotional distance

Also Here are a few things that helped me on my journey. I am sure they can help you too:

Talk to someone: Everybody needs someone sometimes. When we are down and out, it is important to tell someone.

Choose the ears that will listen. While it is important to let in on how you are feeling, it is equally important to pay attention to the people you are expressing yourself to. Just because you start expressing your feelings does not mean you should start pouring your heart out to anyone willing to listen. Not everyone is a candidate to listen to your problems. Your problems may become worse. People tend to get annoyed if they feel you are in the habit of needing them too much.

Seek professional help. When we are battling with our emotions, we don’t know whether to go up or down. We are everywhere, but nowhere. Seeking a therapist, anger management counselor, or anyone in the field of mental and emotional healing can help you gain the control you need to live a fulfilling life.

Talk to the ones you are at odds with. Sometimes people do not know that you are hurt by something they’ve said or done. Letting people know that you are hurt or have an issue with them is one of the best ways to find resolve.

Calming tools. There are many tools available to help you work on your emotions These tools help you regulate your breathing and can offer immediate relief when you are experiencing anxiety. They are specially created to lead you back to a mentally, emotionally, and spiritually calming state The prices of calming tools vary but there is most likely one that can fit your budget without breaking the bank!

Invest in counseling Apps. Sometimes it is hard to talk to a therapist Thanks to modern technology there are AI (artificial intelligence) applications that you can download

There is always a more productive way to blow off steam without causing things to get out of hand. A few things might include:

Taking a walk. If possible, remove yourself from a toxic environment. The sun kissing your skin or the wind blowing in your face can take away the focus of what it is that is troubling you. ~ Sitting for a while and relaxing. Sometimes if you are not in the position to take a walk, you could just sit and relax while imagining walking along a beautiful beach. Imagine the water softly swishing as you watch the waves rocking back and forth, enticing you to jump into the water!

Taking deep breaths. Deep breaths tell your mind that you will be okay. It prevents you from losing control and can prevent you from having an anxiety attack.

Having a nice calming cup of tea. A hot cup of herbal tea can relax your mood. It is something that may be easy to come by and can be healing not only to your mind but also your body.

Taking a warm bath. Few activities are more soothing than hop[1]ping into a hot shower or sinking into a nice hot bath. Start by lighting a lightly scented candle and take in the aroma. Play soft music as you relax your mind, body, and soul. Soaking away your troubles is more rewarding than exploding.

Crying it out. Sometimes we do not allow ourselves to release our pain through our tears because we don’t want to look “weak.” Crying is not a sign of weakness. There is strength in tears because tears can be detoxing. Sometimes it can be the medicine we need in our lives.

Some of us, however, believe that if we start crying, we will never stop. My therapist told me something that I will forever hold dear, “in all my years of counseling, I have never known anyone to cry forever. It’s all right to cry.”

Tamika shows us that sensitive people learn to control their emotions and take back their power. When we are too sensitive, we compromise our wellbeing: We begin to let ourselves go because we stop paying attention to our appearance. We may lose or gain too much weight. We may sound different, speaking sluggishly or too excitedly. We may become withdrawn and have no desire to participate in activities that once interested us. We may become angrier or sadder. We stop recognizing who we are.

Being sensitive does not only affect our wellbeing. It also affects the wellbeing of the relationships we have with others because:

People stop recognizing us.
People begin to see us in a different light.
People may only see the “dark” in us.
People start believing that we are just angry or upset for “no reason.”

A sensitive toughen up or while still maintaining compassion. It is a good thing to be compassionate. Yes, of course it is. With the current state the world is in, compassion is what we need the most. It’s not about compassion, it’s about how our level of compassion is negatively affecting us. Sensitive Ones or shall I say, sensitive superheroes, have people-pleaser syndrome—that is, we cannot stop exhausting ourselves financially, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically for others. We spend most of our time helping others cultivate themselves while losing ourselves in the process. This makes our level of compassion dangerous. If we don’t realize that, we won’t take our too sensitive nature seriously. We don’t always recognize we are in a danger zone because it isn’t so in your face. We don’t have to be crawling on our knees bringing water to someone while we’re dying of thirst. The danger zone could be from our extreme generosity and kindness, our time, effort, and patience. Our level of compassion can be so high that we not only overexert ourselves for those who deserve our compassion but also for those who do not. And when we receive compassion in return, we often do not expect it and will not accept it

Sheryl says, “So very capable compassionate sensitives must learn to say NO when their efforts will not be appreciated and wait to be asked for any assistance. Sensitives also need to learn it is okay to receive as well as give. It is in the flow of give and take that one finds balance and well- being. I often turned away gifts and efforts by others because I didn’t want them to have less, and I simply didn’t need much more. But I learned that when someone offers anything it is an offer of love and gratitude and needs to be accepted with compassion and thankfulness.”

Tamika might like readers of The Sensitive Stone to take away with them after reading the what is written below.

Tamika wrote, “I finally had to realize how my sensitive nature was affecting my life. I learned that if I continued to only take the time helping others, I would deny myself any chances of being happy. Discovering what was really going on inside, I was able to focus on what I needed to attain the peace and happiness that awaited. If you continue the path of an unhealthy level of compassion, you will continue to create unhealthy results. You will never know when the world is getting too heavy for you to carry. You will not recognize when your feet are so deep in the cemented ground that they prevent you from moving forward and taking healthier steps in life. It is time to lighten the load that you carry for others.

What makes The Sensitive Stone so unique? The Sensitive Stone is a vehicle that drives your mind to important places in your life. These “places” may have created your overly sensitive nature. Each stop you make on your ride will help you assess yourself. You will be able to reset so that you finally live in your truth.

Part 1: Being a Sensitive one—You will discover the patterns leading to the detrimental habits that caused you to lose yourself.

Part 2: Becoming a Sensitive Stone—You will learn to toughen up with your newfound inner power while maintaining your compassionate nature.

Part 3: Balancing the Stone— You will learn to find a balance between using your gift of compassion and owning your true power. Without balance, you will use your gift but lose your power. Part 3 will help you maintain both.

We thank Tamika S. Thomas author of The Sensitive Stone for sharing the many attributes and skills of a sensitive person and ways for them to enhance their compassionate giving nature as they develop the strength within to share their many spiritual gifts and grow healthy joyful and strong in their inner being.

In summarizing today’s episode of Healing From Within Tamika has shared the story of most of us who in some way or another is a sensitive being. For a soul in a physical body deal with the outside world and the emotions and belief systems of other human beings who interact with them and since we all see the world according to our own perceptions we often develop sensitivities and don’t allow ourselves the luxury of accepting we are not perfect nor is anyone else perfect. But a physical life offers us the chance to develop self- love and a sense of worthiness for the person we are and the person we aspire to become over time and with awareness.

Tamika writes about love, “If we are talking about us receiving love from someone else, let’s first establish that love is not about who someone is to you, but how someone is to you. In other words, love is when someone does or says something that feels good to your heart, soul, spirit, and mind. Love is when your heart trusts a presence because of the goodness this presence brings.

The other faces of love… There are many faces of love. Love is a force, but it cannot be forced from or upon you

Love cannot be locked away, yet it can be torture when it is hidden

Love is so beautiful that it can make you feel beautiful even when the only thing you believe in is the ugly parts of yourself

Love is boundless It can be places, things, memories, and split moments A breeze, a thought, a taste, a smell, a sound

Love is so fierce that it cannot be taught Morals and grace—those can be taught, but not love

Your physical appearance is of no concern to love It also does not care if you are financially successful, nor can you buy love This is the beauty and magic of love!

Now, let’s go through what love is not.
Love is not Acts of violence against you
Abuse in any form from yourself or anyone else
Someone constantly hurting your feelings

It does not matter what someone’s intentions are If hurting you or seeing you cry or suffer is a constant thing then this person is committing unloving acts against you

People making fun of you when it hurts you Putting yourself down Pursuing your worst

Tamika and Sheryl will have you begin to realize that life is simply an opportunity for learning and loving and once you know who you are and what makes you shine your true uniqueness into the world YOU WILL HAVE CONQUERED your sensitivities and be at peace with yourself and the world. It takes time, patience and effort to learn to find self-worth love and joy in your own soul essence but once you begin the search the journey to success begins not only possible but probable.

Welcome to Healing from Within. I am your host Sheryl Glick RMT Reiki Master Energy Teacher and author of a trilogy with the newest edition A New Life Awaits: Spiritual Insights to Support Global Awakening which shares stories and messages from spirit that show us our challenges are not merely economic political or societal, but often a deep disconnect from our inner spiritual guidance system, or heart- based awareness of life. Today we welcome Sallie Wagner a speaker lawyer real estate broker and life coach and author of Discover Your Success with MSG which incorporates out-come based techniques such as EFT Emotional Freedom Techniques and NLP Neuro Linguistic Programming as well as trauma aware modalities to help you ditch those unwanted behaviors and habits fears and phobias limiting beliefs and decisions that keep you from living your best life.

As listeners of Healing from Within have come to expect over the years, Sheryl and her guests share intimate open- minded stories that help us understand the dual nature of human and spiritual life while showing us how to become aware that we are spiritual beings having a physical life in order to refine our thoughts actions relationships and all experiences to refine our soul energy so we can share greater love and compassion.

In today’s episode of Healing from Within Sallie Wagner will share her MSG secret. MSG stands for Mindset, Skillset, Get Off Your Asset to discover the keys to self- love and how to reclaim power over your life with MSG awareness. Also how going From Regret to Resilience with MSG in four areas of life -physical, emotional, mental, social is most beneficial.

When Sallie discusses MSG she tells us she guides people – just like you – to identify and get rid of beliefs that hold them back from the results they want in life. Once you get rid of limiting beliefs, you’ll be ready to discover, create, and Live the Life that Makes YOU Come Alive! .

It all starts with 3 simple steps – MSG. Mindset! Skillset! Get Off Your Asset!

As you explore Sallie’s book, you’ll learn about each of these 3 steps and you’ll see how important it is to make sure they all work together:

Mindset – your Mindset will either move you forward or hold you back.

Skillset – you need the right Skillset to get the right Mindset.

Get Off Your Asset – you absolutely must take action to Live the Life that Makes YOU Come Alive!

MSG encapsulates key concepts that are crucial to success in business and in life when you ask yourself the question, “Are you Living the Life that Makes YOU Come Alive?”

Be honest . . . If you’re not sure, that’s your answer! And if you think you’re sure . . . Ask yourself . . . Have you had changes in your life?

Dramatic changes like:

births
deaths
marriage
divorce
job change

If you’ve had those changes – and we all have, right? If you’ve had those changes, have you fully embraced them and faced the challenges that they brought to your life?

Or maybe you’ve had less dramatic, yet no less significant changes, like life creep:

you wake up one day and wonder what happened with your life

you don’t feel at home in your own skin, as if the life you’re living belongs to somebody else

you feel as if your life is beyond your conscious control – it’s controlled by outside forces

you’re going through the motions, not really engaged, not really living your own life

it looks good on paper, but it doesn’t feel so good on the inside

Or maybe you’re dragged down by stress from:

not enough time or money

relationship troubles

health and fitness concerns

no clear meaning and purpose for your life

burn out – all the stress and frustration have caught up with you

Or you feel stuck and unfocused because you don’t have definite goals for your life. Do you ever ask yourself . . . What if . . . Do you ever daydream about . . . If only . . . How many of these sounds and feel familiar to you?

Maybe other things are holding you back from the results you want . . . Then it’s time to REBOOT Your Thinking with MSG! When you REBOOT Your Thinking, you’ll:

discover the right Mindset to get the results you want in your life

learn the right Skillset to develop the right Mindset

Get Off Your Asset by taking the right action to Live the Life that Makes YOU Come Alive! So, get ready for some fun and fabulous results as you start your journey to LIVE THE LIFE THAT MAKES YOU COME ALIVE

We start with Mindset. Because, ultimately, it’s all about Mindset. It may sound strange at first, but your results don’t come from doing certain things – your results come from doing things in a certain way.

That’s what Mindset is all about. Having the right attitude about what you’re doing. And why you’re doing it. But Mindset isn’t just thinking happy thoughts, like Peter Pan. There’s much more to it than that.

We’ll start with your 6 mental faculties:

Perception
Will
Imagination
Memory
Intuition

Reason Don’t worry!

We’re only focusing her on 3 of them – Perception, Will, and Reason. All your mental faculties contribute to your Mindset. But we’ll talk about some simple steps you can take to strengthen these 3 – Perception, Will, and Reason – so that you can see some quick progress toward Living the Life that Makes YOU Come Alive.

First is Perception, Remember the story of the blind men and the elephant? Each of them felt and experienced a different part of the elephant – trunk, tail, tusks, and so on — and so each of them defined it in a different way. They were all right, and they were also all wrong, because their perceptions were incomplete. Just like those men in the story, your Perception is also incomplete. Your Perception may be right as far as it goes . . . However, it’s limited, especially when you rely on your physical senses. Because your physical senses can perceive only 0.00001% of what’s out there in your world – did you know that? That’s 1 one-hundred-thousandth of 1%! 99.99999% of what’s happening in the universe is beyond your ability to perceive it. There’s a party going on all around you, and you don’t even know it!

So your Perception is always limited, always incomplete. Yet, the big mistake that most of us make is thinking that what we perceive, what we think we “know” is all there is to know. Not even close. Because, as much as you may think you know and perceive, it’s still incomplete. However, as incomplete, and as limited as your Perception may be, it’s still critically important because it’s in charge of the stories you tell yourself about life – like the stories the blind men had about the elephant. Those stories matter, because they – which are your Perception – will either move you forward or hold you back, depending upon the messages they contain. Especially the stories you tell yourself about yourself.

One way you can expand your Perception is to consider different perspectives. Tell yourself different stories about life, and about yourself.

What’s your Perception of yourself? What stories are you telling yourself about yourself? And all the possibilities for your life? If you perceive yourself as having limitations, those limitations will carry over to how you perceive and participate with everyone and everything in your life. If you perceive yourself as capable and able to get the results you want in life, those stories will also carry over to how you perceive and participate in life.

How can you expand your Perception to tell yourself different stories about yourself?

One simple way to start is this . . . Think of a time in your life where things maybe didn’t work out quite the way you had hoped. Retell the story to show yourself from a different, better perspective. For example – imagine that I spilled a glass of water at a restaurant. I felt embarrassed and stupid. However, I can change my perspective by retelling the story. I remind myself that it was only water. It didn’t really cause any damage, just a slight inconvenience. And the staff in the restaurant were so nice about it, they reassured me that it wasn’t a big deal. So, I don’t need to feel bad about myself. Ask yourself . . . When you retell your stories like this, how do those new messages change how you think about yourself and your capabilities?

Next is your Will. This isn’t will power. If it’s a matter of will power, you’ve already lost the battle. Your Will is your ability to focus. You’ve heard it said, where there’s a will, there’s a way? The truth is, when you focus your Will, you’ll see the way to get the results you want in your life. As you focus on your goals and the results you want to see in your life, you increase your power to make those results happen – clarity is power, right? So exercise your Will. Focus, for yourself, for your goals, for your future.

How can you strengthen your Will, your ability to focus

Last, we have Reason. This is your ability to think. You need to learn to think in the right way that will support you in getting the results you want to see in your life. Most people think about the wrong thing – they think about the results they currently see in their lives. They define themselves by those results.

So, they’re controlled by those results that they see in their current, external circumstances.

People who are Living the Life that Makes Them Come Alive focus on the results they want to see in their lives, rather than the results they currently see. They define themselves in terms of those results they want, not the results they currently see. That shift in focus puts them in control of their external circumstances, so they can respond, rather than react.

How can you strengthen your Reason For example, imagine that I drink to many soft drinks, and I know I should drink more water. So rather than tell myself to stop drinking soft drinks, I focus on drinking more water. I don’t dwell on the unwanted action of drinking too many soft drinks, I focus on the new action I want to have of drinking more water.

So to bring it all together . . . Perception, Will, Reason, all these, and more – this is Mindset. It all starts with Mindset. How do you know whether you have the right Mindset? Simple . . . look at your results. Your results are a direct reflection of your Mindset.

Acting is crucial to making lasting change and improvement in one’s life.

When you have the right mindset and skillset, Action becomes inevitable. You have many skills, right? But you may not have the right Skillset to support the right Mindset you need to “Live the Life that Makes YOU Come Alive.”

Skillset can be actual new skills, like how to install tile or, learning to play the piano. All part of Skillset. Skillset can also be new knowledge.

Knowledge – SKILLSET – of how to change your thinking to have the right Mindset.

So, let’s talk about the Skillset that will help you harness the power of the right Mindset.

Let’s start with how most people think. You know from the chapter on Mindset that most people think about their results. They look at their current results. They think certain thoughts about them. They have certain feelings about them based on those thoughts. Which leads them to take certain actions based on those thoughts.

Think about the results you want to see in your life, rather than the results you currently see in your life. Remember your thinking determines your feelings. Your feelings determine your actions. Your actions determine your results. And your results reinforce your thinking, which means that until something changes at one of those points, you’ll continue to get more of the same. The easiest way to interrupt the cycle is to start with your thinking and feelings. Those actions lead to certain results in their lives. Those results reinforce their thinking .

Sallie shares with us that the reason so many people live in regret, successfully discontent, not living the life that makes them come alive?

Perhaps they have not asked themselves the right questions or formulated goals that would make their life come alive

Here’s a simple step you can take to build big goals . . . Think of 1 big goal you’d like to see in your life. Focus on it for 1 minute, 3 times a day, for 21 days. How does that change how you think about that goal? How does that change the actions you take to achieve that goal?

The second principle to help you build your goals is . . . Ask the right questions! The quality of your life is determined by the quality of the questions you’re willing to ask. So, ask the hard questions.

This is a skill, that most of us lack. Start by asking yourself what makes you come alive! Pretend you’re a child again. For you, there’s no difference between fantasy and reality. If you can imagine it, it’s REAL! When you put that superman cape on, you can FLY! When you catch somebody with your wonder woman lasso of truth, it WORKS! Everything is possible. Now . . . be honest with yourself . . . what makes YOU come alive?

That’s the question you MUST ask yourself. Because your goals should represent what YOU really want. Not what somebody else wants for you. Not what somebody else thinks you should do. Not what you think you should do

We take advantage of Post-traumatic Growth and Post -Ecstatic Growth to launch us out of regret into an authentic life of joy and peace? Once you design and build your goals, you’re ready to take action to make them happen. However, be prepared . . . what comes next is what stops most people before they even get started. As they start to develop the right Mindset . . . As they start to learn the right Skillset to design and build their goals . . . They get stopped by fear. Fear is subtle, it doesn’t show up with drums banging and trumpets blaring, announcing that it’s here to keep you trapped in a miserable life. It says things like . . . How am I going to do that? I’ve never done that before . . . Now’s not a good time . . . I can’t do that . . .

All those sound like the voices of reason, don’t they? Ask yourself, what voices of reason do you hear when you think about the goals you want to build for your life? Those voices probably don’t sound like fear . . . but that’s exactly what they are!

There are benefits of building resilience and all areas of life can benefit. The benefits of building resilience is you can survive all life’s challenges. Life is not for the faint of heart. When you have resilience, you have coping skills survival skills and persistence to achieve your most desired goal. We need resilience in all areas of life as that is what allows life to be filled with hope joy love and achievement or prosperity. We are what we think ourselves to be capable and resilience is necessary to add to the mix of creating and manifesting all that our soul is capable of.

By learning to trust yourself love yourself respect life and other people’s life journey you build resilience and overcome your fear lack of faith or past beliefs which no longer serve you. Trust is the key to making life like the dream you wish it to be Making a dream a reality is based on trust on universal truths faith and pe

You’ve started the process to REBOOT Your Thinking with MSG! How does it feel? You’ve taken a big step . . . Now the big question is . . . Are you ready to Live the Life that Makes YOU Come Alive?

The quality of your life is determined by the quality of the questions you’re willing to ask.

So, ask yourself:

Does your Mindset keep you from asking the right questions? – when you experience the full REBOOT Program, you’ll strengthen your Mindset even more and get rid of beliefs that hold you back so you can ask those questions.

Do you have the Skillset you need to ask the right questions? – REBOOT will teach you these skills and many more so you can design the Life that Makes YOU Come Alive!

Once you ask the right questions and get the right answers, how can you use your assets to take action on those answers so you can Live the Life that Makes YOU Come Alive? – REBOOT will show you techniques to overcome that inertia so you can take the actions that will help you Live the Life that Makes YOU Come Alive!

When you have the right Mindset . . . When you have the Skillset to ask the right questions . . . You see answers and opportunities that other people miss. When you see those answers and opportunities, and act on them, you’re on the path to Live the Life that Makes YOU Come Alive!

The most important thing you can do to maintain the right Mindset, to develop the right Skillset, and to USE your Assets by taking the right action, is to put the right support structures in place.

Every great athlete, every great achiever, has a coach, a mentor.

We thank you Sallie Wagner author of Discover Your Success with MSG a system for evaluating a person’s life experiences to discover what may be subconsciously holding them back from letting go of past beliefs and traumas that have become embedded into their thoughts and behaviors or actions limiting them from living their best life journey and to learn more about Mindset Skillset and Action for change.

In summarizing today’s episode of Healing from Within Sallie Wagner author of Discover Your Success with MSG has shown us how we may let go of past restrictions fears old beliefs and build a new Mindset Skillset and Assets for achieving our deepest desires and goals. Our thoughts skills and actions are the tools to creating new realities and eliminating harmful remembrances of trauma or past disturbances to our soul’s love of self/

When we develop the right Mindset and focus awareness on our ability to make conscious choice and when we enhance our Skillset to overcome unconscious programming that controls 95 to 99% of our daily activities and then take action through accountability to increase our success rate we are in charge of our own destiny and the outside world or other people do not have control over us.

Sallie and Sheryl would have listeners remember to think of their dreams, as well as the challenging circumstances present in life, and call on the help of those in Spirit to guide you to ask the right questions. Pay attention to receiving intuitive guidance to allow the right Mindset Skillset and Actions to be welcomed into your expanding view of how life can become more of what you need and desire. Remember there is no progress or change without effort and resilience.

Welcome to Healing from Within with your host Sheryl Glick, Reiki Master Energy Teacher, Medium, who assists clients connect to their life plan goals and manifest through thought and action their most spiritual and physical life realities. As author of her newest book in a trilogy, A New Life Awaits: Spirit Guided Insights to Share Global Awakening, Sheryl is delighted to welcome Mary Petto, author of The Family Guide to The Law of Attraction, who’s stories and research help readers understand the Law of Attraction for manifesting our best life results and it’s all based in using energy effectively, lovingly, and for the purpose of improving one’s self, the community, and world.

As listeners of Healing from Within are well aware, Sheryl and her intuitive guests share intimate stories and insights into the metaphysical world of creation and possibilities for creating while here in a physical world, a life that merges our soul-based memory with our ego-based physical life reality so we may know ourselves more fully and not have the physical world and its challenges take away from the magnificent personal power we all possess within. Like any game to be played well, one must know there are rules, and we must learn to effectively use the tools of our inner wisdom along with meditation, energy healing, higher awareness and higher consciousness in all its aspects, which make manifesting not just a possibility but our everyday reality.

In today’s episode of Healing from Within, Mary Petto shows us how she has discovered the Law of Attraction from her earliest days as a child and has been leveraging the Law of Attraction since she was a teenager to help her achieve many of her goals and successes in life. Mary, as one of her goals, wishes to help parents and teachers assist the younger generation to be aware of these universal laws before they become overwhelmed by the complicated current happenings in today’s world such as the Coronavirus, economic and political upheaval, decisions about their future prospects for their careers and health among other things.

When Mary is asked to think back to her childhood and remember a person, place, or event that signaled to her or others around her the interest and lifestyle she would embrace as an adult, she tells Sheryl that she had a very happy childhood and always knew she was supported to make choices that would ultimately bring her closer to achieving all her goals. She was actually practicing the Law of Attraction, which suggests that the energy that you give out into the world brings back the same results that you are focusing your thoughts on. One of the Universal Laws of Energy, which when understood and practiced can allow for a healthier and more prosperous physical life journey is the Law of Attraction. Other laws include The Law of Totality, Karma, Wisdom , Love, Harmony, Abundance Attraction, Evolution, Manifestation, Destiny, Non-locality. (in that order)

Mary tells us that one of the first things that she is aware of in using the Law of Attraction in a positive way was when she manifested her first boyfriend whom she met on her first day at a new summer camp. The night before she had decided to become someone new. In her 14 year old mind in the early 1980’s that meant the kind of person that was popular and had a lot of friends. She repeated to herself that she was popular and would have a boyfriend…She had made a shift in perception and as a result attracted what she wanted to herself. Sheryl goes on to reveal that she herself has always been using the Law of Attraction well before she even knew about it.

Sheryl has a similar happening to Mary’s. When she was 15 going on 16, she was a CIT or Counselor in Training and away from home for the first time. “There was a counselor Ira in charge of the horses and agriculture and he was 22 and a Senior in College. He was going with the most popular girl in the camp and secretly she found him attractive. Shortly after he broke up with her and we all were at the campfire one night. When he walked over to me and sat down, I was mystified. How had this guy found me? We were an interesting combination. I was a gifted student and he was a man of Nature…he either wanted to be a rancher or news anchor…he had a great speaking voice. We went out over the next year when he could travel in from college in Delaware to New York but I was only entering college and he was finishing college and ready for a different chapter of his life. He soon married a girl he had known prior to our meeting and went out west to live on the ranch he manifested in his discussions with me. My life took me in pursuit of many different interests. Kind of funny that he became the rancher and I in time, became the host of a radio show.”

Mary tells us about the Law of Attraction, and how can it help children and young adults thrive.

The Law of Attraction refers to an ancient scientific law of the universe that states that your mind, with the right focus and emotion (intention), can attract to you everything you desire. Harnessing the universe’s field of potentiality is not difficult, and if you are open to acknowledging your own power to make things happen, you absolutely will. Like all scientific laws, the Law of Attraction is happening whether you are aware of it or not. You could be manifesting exactly what you don’t want by focusing your intention in the wrong direction.

Many experts around the globe, for thousands of years, have explored the important connections between the mind and the body. From science and psychology, from modern-day life coaches and the great philosophers, there is agreement on these few matters:

Thoughts create things.
Your thoughts attract the people and situations that vibrate at the same frequency.
Energy flows where your intention goes!
You have enormous healing potential. The goal is learning to access it.

Sheryl is reminded of the many times she has been guided by Spirit to see the Law of Attraction at work and in her newest book A New Life Awaits: Spirit Guided Insights to Support Global Awakening. While at hospice one day, Spirit showed Sheryl once again how the Law of Attraction is always at work to help us and others, and shares the following story:

Sheryl writes, “Suddenly we noticed snowflakes falling, and within a few minutes, enough accumulated to make the open plains beyond the building glisten and shine with freshness. The patient wanted to go outside to smoke, and he told his son to get a nurse to help them. I said that that would not be necessary as I was trained to take him. He was so thrilled not to have to wait. I told the patient “This is the first time I’ve done this, so if we cooperate, we can show the staff how expert we are at this maneuver.” I was acutely aware that only an hour ago, I had said to myself “Why do they keep teaching me how to use the wheelchair when I would never have to do this?” Was the Universe saying, “Never say never,” or did I intuitively pick up that I would have to help this man by using a wheelchair? It might be that the Universe gives us what we most want, or what we do not want, as it doesn’t analyze it but just delivers it. Make sure of where your concentration and thoughts are, as they are crucial in manifesting your reality.

The Law of Attraction works well when we learn how to” ask, believe and receive”. Those are the three words to remember.

Mary would tell us that it is possible to begin to assist your children to learn the techniques and thought processes necessary to know that their inner happiness comes from their own creation not the outside world

You can begin by helping them make bookmarks. On one side of your bookmark, you can make a list of ten things you are thankful for. On the other side of the bookmark put ten more things you are thankful for. You are actually creating positive thoughts which assist in manifesting positive events people and success in your life.

It’s also helpful to have groups at home or a club while reading this book so you can share what you have learned and how you are implementing it into your daily life experiences. Next we can make a vision board and think about what we are grateful for and what we hope to create in the days ahead that will supplement the high-vibe energy we are creating.

Sheryl suggests another great series of books for parents and children to read together It is called Sara written by Esther and Jerry Hicks and shares the Law of Attraction and other energetic awarenesses. A group of young teenagers Sara Seth and Annette go through tough times and are assisted by their spiritual teacher an owl named Solomon they learn to understand life, death, energy and how their thoughts are changing their lives and the lives of those they love.

It is great way to teach our children the Universal Laws of Energy so they can begin to use their inner energy and begin to work with the Law of Attraction and other Universal Laws as described by a former guest on the show, Dr. Carmen Harra, a psychic medium and psychologist who wrote The Eleven Eternal Principles.

Mary tells us how she became more aware of the Universal Laws of Energy and how it helped her greatly. After she got married and had two small children, she suffered from anxiety. She was stricken by fear on a daily basis…fear of death, fear for her kids safety, fear of flying and so on. This is not uncommon for people who are sensitives or empaths and eventually are guided to find their spiritual path and know how the Universe works through energy and to eventually connect to soul energy to harness the personal power within, which can sustain us through any challenges the physical world throws at us.

Being with groups or individuals who have been able to sustain their spiritual memories of their connection to the universe and the oneness of Being and manifesting our best lives helps us to be more successful as when we are supported by our tribe like when we are on the same page as our parents and our friends and co-workers because we are not alone.

Mary shares with us why it is that many people don’t have what they want.

Mary writes, “A primary reason there are people who don’t have what they want is that they are thinking more about what they don’t want than what they do want. So if you are a complainer, The Law of Attraction brings into your life more situations for you to complain about. On the other hand, people who think we think of as “lucky” people who seem to have everything go their way all the time, manifest those good things because they only expect good things to happen. Words + Thoughts = Energy” For those doubters it is good to remember a quote from Dr. Wayne Dyer “If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.” This means that our perception of the world creates our life experience.

Other scientists such as Max Planck, known as the founder of quantum physics, was a German physicist who demonstrated that when an individual looks at an object the characteristics of the object actually change at a very real and physical molecular level.

Sheryl says “It is interesting but when my oldest granddaughter was little she dressed up as Snow white and with her very dark hair and pale complexion and bright Blue eyes she was perfect as the character. I may have said to her over and times that she was truly like Snow White except Snow White had green eyes. By about the time she was 4 or 5 her eyes changed from the bluest of blue to green eyes. Maybe we both thought of that option and it happened through the Law of Attraction. I still wonder how that change happened? Genetically, both of her parents have blue eyes. Well ultimately I said it but she made it happen. Our thoughts change our perception and then our reality.”

Mary goes on to say “think of something you used to be afraid of or disliked but eventually overcame like fear of the dark or public speaking distaste for a certain food. As soon as your perception flipped, that thing became something different—it went from bad to good. Science has brought us to understanding the opportunities we have to create our environment and our life with our mind or thoughts.”

Isaac Newton first published his theories on gravity and his laws of motion which is the basis for understanding the universe appears to work in a precise and mathematical manner like clockwork. During the era of Galileo there wasn’t a focus on concepts like soul, spirit or consciousness. But just before Newton was born, Rene Descartes, the French “father of philosophy” declared that the best way to understand how the world works would be to divide existence into two parts: the objective, material world governed by the principles of science and the subjective world of the mind and the soul which would be understood by religion. He was emphasizing the duality of life, the physical and energetic both very real. Descartes famous statement “I think therefore I am” helps us to understand how to use The Law of Attraction to create that which we truly want and not accept the random outside world to impress negativity or other goals or desires for us.

In the beginning of the 20th century Albert Einstein, a mathematician, found that the only way to explain the behavior of light was to stop looking within the framework of traditional Newtonian physics. He introduced the Theory of Relativity which described how energy and matter are not only related to each other but can be transformed back and forth into each other.

Einstein’s breakthrough comes down to this. Everything is energy. Everything you can taste touch or smell is made of molecules. What you’re made of, atoms, is literally vibrating packets of energy.

Years after Einsteins work other scientists Neils Bohr and Warner Heisenberg realized when you take a deeper look at atoms, they aren’t just protons, neutrons and electrons. At the even smaller level they are packets of energy called quanta and suggested that physical matter—reality and real things—are not solid substances but fields of energy and that a particle takes on the specific character of a material thing only when it is measured or observed.

Thought is where everything comes from.

Dr Fred Alan Wolf an authority on quantum physics and consciousness says you can’t have a universe without the mind entering into it. The mind is actually shaping what we perceive

Here is all you need to know:

Everything in the physical world is made of atoms.
Atoms are made of energy
Energy is influenced by consciousness

Sheryl says “Years ago when everyone was so concerned that the year 2012 was going to be cataclysmic I was at a spiritual psychic development workshop with advanced practitioners of metaphysical theories and we were guided into a deep meditation and ask a single question of the Universe so I asked What will happen to humanity in 2012. I felt myself as a single atom in the dark skies of the universe Nobody but yet I was me Sheryl Glick all consciousness … .I was frightened for a moment and when I pulled myself out of the meditation had no idea where I had just traveled to. Was it where I existed all the time as a single atom creating a life from the mind of the Universe? We all shared our experiences. One woman had a very similar vision to mine and suggested it meant humanity would become aware of their soul or energetic being and there would be a Spiritual Evolution for humanity. I liked her version better than the idea that we would all return to Spirit from where we had originated.”

Mary shares some of the amazing stories from her book about kids she’s worked with and the seemingly miraculous situations they manifested.

Trina, a woman spoken of in the book, tells how using the Law of Attraction helped her make her bullies go away. Trina was in fourth grade and was with two girls who had been at one time her best friends Jenny and Leila. They had decided they no longer wanted to include Trina in their little group and they also convinced other girls in their class not to include her or sit with her at lunch or talk to her. This made Trina very unhappy. Trina began to image what if Jenny and Leila weren’t at school as if they didn’t exist. She visualized getting off the bus, going into class sitting with the girls she used to have fun with before bullies told them to stay away from her. And she noticed how relaxed she began to feel. She also started to repeat a new affirmation or mantra in her thoughts: “I have lots of friends at school and everybody likes to be with me.

The next day she went into school and notice Leila wasn’t there. Maybe she was sick, Trina thought. Trina sat down and one of the girls in the class came over and said hello and showed her the new gloves she got from her mom the night before. Trina turned and saw Jenny behind her at her usual seat but she appeared to shrink away when Trina turned to look at her and Trina felt so powerful. Then class started and the principal entered and called Jenny out of the classroom and rumor was that Jenny was being reprimanded for bad behavior. At lunchtime when Trina sat down another girl called out her name and came over to sit with her. Some other girls came over too and Trina was busy telling stories and doing all the talking and the other girls were listening and laughing. One of the girls kept in touch with Trina and several years down the road she had lots of friends and worked on community service attended honor’s program at her high school and was accepted into the college of her choice. Trina learned when she was 9 years old how powerful and magical, she really was and how to conquer bullies or other challenges with courage and faith. So, learning how to use The Law of Attraction at a young age is very beneficial.

Another story is that of Jenny who had a bad divorce and the worry about her daughter having bad relationships made her talk negatively about many situations. Jennifer had also given up on the idea of dating or even finding love again. Mary spoke with Jennifer and convinced her that the dating scene she disliked so much was the result of her thoughts and she had the power to change the whole situation. She learned about vibration and that the energy was emanating from her was her decision to be single for the rest of her life. How could she possibly attract others into her life when she asked the Universe to keep her single? When Trina asked Jenny what kind of relationship she wanted, Jenny immediately though of an older couple she had seen in the parking lost at the grocery store the day before. The woman was using a scooter due to a handicap and her husband was walking at a slow pace next to her with his hand gently placed on her back. Jennifer longed for that kind of unconditional love and companionship Now that she had that feeling behind what she thought true love was Trina could guide her to visualize what it would be like to love a man deeply and nonconditionally and have it reflected back to her equally. Trina gave her two affirmations to say as she fell asleep that night believing it already had brought her the love she needed. “ I am in an exciting and wonderful relationship. There are so many great men around me all the time.” It wasn’t long before she was smiling just thinking that it was going to happen. And of course it did.

Mary explains the life-long impact on kids who understand their manifesting power this has.

They could learn where quantum physics intersects with thoughts intentions and visualization and how everything has to do with the Law of Attraction and the outcome you want. We now know that everything is energy and there is no difference between matter and energy or soul life and physical life. The boundaries between the physical world and the world of our energetic thoughts is blurred.

Here’s all you need to know:

Everything in the physical world is made of atoms.
Atoms are made of energy.
Energy is influenced by consciousness.
Imagine what can happen if we believe that only the best of everything is happening to us and around us.

Before you can see what people can accomplish by utilizing the Law of Attraction, we might realize who we really are. Some people believe that human beings are made of the same elements as the stars. It seems we are literally made of stardust and the fact that the universe is actually part of us and that we are one with the universe isn’t the only cool scientific proof that we are magical. Of course, scientists like Albert Einstein have discovered that everything is made of energy. You may have learned that we are made of molecules, atoms, protons, neutrons and electrons but there is a smaller component to those components. Deep down inside an atom below the level of protons neutrons and electrons are energy packets called quanta. The vibration of these quanta support or validate that a good decision was made.

Mary shares with us some simple experiments that may show you that the universe Is well aware of your thoughts and wants to help you achieve what you ask for. In the first experiment we ask for a sign, and you get to pick what the sign is.

Pick your sign. Mary’s is a clown because she says clowns are weird and a little creepy
Say out loud. Universe, prove that you’re listening to me and that I can attract whatever I think about…Within the next 24 hours show me a ______________________. Sheryl did this experiment asking to see an angel. The next day she opened her computer, and there was an email from the guest of the show telling her all about one of the angels she would be discussing on the upcoming show. When Sheryl left the office, she went to a store and standing behind her, she noticed a woman wearing a lovely gold necklace of an angel. It seems the Universe was very much paying attention.
Set a timer for 24 hours.

Another good experiment is asking for a gift. Here is the only step- In your mind or outloud very clearly ask the Universe to deliver a special gift in the next 48 hours and say thank you as if you have already received it. There are many responses possible like a letter from long lost friends, gift cards, getting asked out by a co-worker getting a raise checks in the mail etc. Shery also did this activity and when she arrived at home, there was a check in the mail, and her assistant handed her a crystal tree of life ornament. So it worked, and rather quickly.

Another good experience is asking show me I’m on the right path.

Sheryl tells us that now in this time of political upheaval and change and recovering from the Covid pandemic is it the perfect time to instill self -confidence and courage in our children. As we are becoming more aware of our spiritual gifts and ability to use the Law of Attraction, we may realize that the political concept of “wokeism” is not the same as people seeking enlightenment, evolution, a true connection to Universal Source, and the oneness of being. People on a spiritual journey “Awaken,” transform any negativity and false beliefs, and eventually transcend the limitations of their physical life.

Sheryl says: Anytime is a good time to help children develop an awareness of their own personal power and courage to face life’s challenges by using solutions not fear. Understanding that they have choices and helping then learn about energy and how it influences our emotions and state of being is perhaps the most important information you can share with them for to live life you need to learn the rules of the game. And the Universal Laws of energy assist us in living out our life plan and destiny with boldness creating much of what we bring into our lives.

Mary reminds us that in manifesting better results and outcomes in these challenging times after we ask for what is needed, we must believe.

We must also remember not to be judgmental or feel bad about asking. The Universe is like a big catalog. Everything you want is already available whether it’s a job, good grades, a relationship or a new car. Go ahead and ask for what you want. There’s nor reason to feel guilty. Whatever it is, you deserve it. The Universe wants you to be happy.
We must remember to Think Big. The universe works in mysterious ways, and recognizing that it is mysterious and magical is one of the secret clues to manifesting. Focus on the end result like if you want to go to Europe with your girlfriends don’t think of the money you need or the steps that need to be taken to get there Just ask for the trip,
Make sure it feels really good. Whether it’s something for the next day or forever make sure it will truly bring you joy.

Some things people have asked for and received are listed below:

A new job close to home
Getting accepted to a program that they had previously been rejected from.

Mary might like readers to remember that learning to really believe that you already have what you want is the most important step to manifesting any situation. By excitedly and joyfully believing that you already have an abundance of money, that you have already gotten accepted to your college of choice or that your relationship with your sister, mother, father, friend is terrific you are setting the vibration emanating from your new mindset or thoughts. The world is your oyster and the Universe will reveal to you all of the situations’, people, ideas and clues, that align with your new beliefs.

We thank Mary Petto author of The Family Guide to the Law of Attraction for sharing a practical simple way for our children and young adults or anyone to begin to understand energy, vibration, and how thought creates what we bring into our lives and how to begin to improve our mindset for a more prosperous, happy and creative life of manifesting, all that we desire for it is the natural birthright of the soul to have a good life regardless of outside world influences.

In summarizing today’s episode of Healing From Within, Mary and Sheryl have shared their wondrous journeys of discovering that they are spiritual beings having a physical life and matter and energy are interchangeable as we can live in a body or not in an eternal world of dimensions of varying vibrations of thought and creation from mind. Learning to relax becomes an important aspect to achieving your goals and desires.

And Mary writes, “The most important rule about step two Believe is to really believe the Universe is listening to you. If you know that the Universe has what you want and is going to give it to you at some point, you don’t cry, stress, strain or struggle trying to get that thing. If you are anxious and working hard to manifest what you want you are not believing that it’s coming to you by way of the Law of Attraction. The only emotions around what you’re feeling should be joy, because the only thing you believe is that you’ve already magically manifested what you wanted.”

Mary and Sheryl and all the scientists and writers we have mentioned in today’s discussion have had the courage to question their own mind and find the Self of inner being within, who only desires you to ask for help as then everything becomes possible. Open your mind and heart to knowing you are connected to all life now and forever.

Thank you for joining us on Healing From Within with your host Sheryl Glick RMT Reiki Master Energy Teacher medium and author of the newest book in a trilogy, A New Life Awaits: Spirit Guided Insights to Support Global Awakening which shares stories and messages from Spirit that show us our challenges are not merely economic political or societal but a deep disconnect from our spiritual essence or life force our soul awareness and guidance system. Today I once again welcome Elaine Clayton artist illustrator and Reiki Master teacher of intuitive empathic development. For those who wish to listen to former shows with Elaine please go to my website www.sherylglick.com on the radio page April 2020 Angels Fairies Guidance and Magic

As listeners of Healing From Within are well aware Sheryl and her extraordinary guests share stories and insights into the world of spirit energy and love in order to remember we are spiritual beings having a physical life for the purpose of recreating old stories and handling them in more advanced ways to improve relationships, refine our energy and move towards refinement of thought and action to create a world beyond the fears and limitations of human endeavors. We merge the duality of soul and physical life to create and bring Heaven on Earth.

In today’s episode of Healing from Within Elaine Clayton will share with us ways to see the unseen and welcome the mysteries of life through psychic events synchronicity and fun encounters. As we explore ways to understand empathy and use mystical spiritual and imaginative insight to better understand our place in the universe.

When Elaine is asked to remember her childhood and a person place or event that may have shown her or others the lifestyle work and interests they might explore as adults her grandmother immediately comes to mind as she expresses the delight her grandmother took in seeing her draw and her interest in art work/ She remembers how her grandmothers eyes twinkled with amusement and joy and how each drawing was as fantastical as the one before. So Elaine knew that every mark she made was precious to her grandmother. Sheryl says that that lovely memory is how she hopes her grandchildren remember her one day as she always provided the materials for art work and her four granddaughter all engaged in creating beauty as she was like Elaine’s grandmother and delighted with every movement and interest her granddaughters had.

Elaine decided to write The Way of the Empath at the present time because it was a way for her to share the tools and joy she herself had discovered from using her empathic gifts in a way to balance her own life and help others to understand the need to protect their sensitive energies by having boundaries rest time and simply fun in being alive.

Sheryl says she wrote her trilogy for much the same reason. Told by a medium that she would write three books for spirit she was highly skeptical but in short order she began journaling her experiences as she was also told to do and has seen how much has been discovered through allowing accepting and surrendering to her destiny and God’s direction. In her new book, A New Life Awaits Sheryl writes,” It is quite possible we will discover the reason for venturing out of our original state of life: a spiritual, eternal world of Universal Energy and incarnate into this physical body, in a three-dimensional world. Many of the people I have encountered have suggested to me they would never have embarked on a physical life experience if they knew the pain and difficulties they would have to witness. But at the end of life, as a hospice volunteer, I have been happy to hear people on the brink of returning to their true form as soul beings express to me that life is good and beautiful. As mentioned in my previous book, The Living Spirit, as an answer to this dilemma, I wrote, “Each of us is presented with a series of life experiences and lessons in order to learn and benefit our own soul awareness. In fact, we choose these experiences, pleasant or unpleasant, because of the lessons we need to have, which were chosen by us with the help of our teachers in spirit before we were born into this plane. Each life is important, and at the time of passing, regardless of how easy or hard life was, the soul values the opportunity it has had to increase its emotional quintessence. We have memories of whatever was meaningful and valuable to us and bring it along to the next stage of life.”

Elaine and I are only sharing the miraculous view we have been able to download from Spirit with our empathic gift and making it easier for people to accept and live their dreams through cooperation with Spirit and loved ones.

Elaine tells us the following about Empathic sensing the art of seeing the unseen and welcoming the mysteries of life through psychic events and fun encounters with yourself and others. Living as an empath means embracing the ideal of heart-centered intelligence by attuning to the experiences and well-being of others. Empaths seek to live a life of generosity through sensing and quiet knowing. This intuitive intelligence his psychic clarity the hallmark of “knowing from the heart,” the pinnacle of empathic knowledge.

An empath’s life is not an ordinary life. It requires the strength of a lion, because it takes real courage to be empathic. This form of artful living asks that you develop your imagination, your curiosity, and your consciousness in an extraordinary way that you discover how your perceptions guide and inform you, how they shape you and, at times, challenge you. It encourages you to step into your own innate role as creator and work to bring compassion and an open heart to yourself and others.

We are all sentient beings somewhere on an empathic spectrum, feeling our way toward deeper knowing and seeking, toward compassionate understanding and intuitive awareness. Some are born with an innate sensitivity to their surroundings and those in its proclivity that allows them to feel the presence of life energy in the atmosphere around both people and objects. Empaths sense the unseen, the energy that lies between and within the physical and material. Some develop empathic sensing through life experiences, perhaps by witnessing the suffering of a loved one or possibly through challenges like early childhood traumas that may spark ultra-sensitivity derived from emotional or physical danger. These experiences may cause some to be more compassionate because they have felt so much themselves and are able to see their own experiences reflected in the conditions of others.

With a guiding hand The Way of the Empath shows us how to put yourself in a state of receiving and awareness. By putting yourself in a state of openness and allowing yourself to feel and know all emotions trauma and experience rather than shielding yourself from these difficult experiences a desire to cultivate a heightened sense of empathy and empathic awareness grows and is a very spiritual and worthy undertaking, one that encourages the imaginal aspects of our creative natures to guide us to a balanced and meaningful life. The duality of our existence means that we cannot avoid highs and lows in our lives. We all struggle as individuals to thrive despite the challenges we encounter. But we can learn to go through these experiences with a desire to feel them and an aspiration to understand them. With this understanding comes the potential for transformation and a sense of wonderment about the beauty in humanity. When we enhance our relationship with our higher selves by expanding our consciousness, rather than living lives in which we move from one reactionary episode to the next, we make room for deeper empathic connections with others. And we begin to create the life we’d most like to live.

Taking note of synchronistic events and signs and learning to protect yourself is important to the empath, Natural empaths are “sensitives” who have a genuine intuitive intelligence that allows them to feel the emotions of others as if those emotions were their own. Because they can easily sense the emotional “atmosphere” of a person or place, they are susceptible to the emotional, psychological, mental, and physical energy in the people and objects around them, and they must learn to cope with that. Some choose mystical paths and methods to help them cope, because they are generally open to sensing what is not visible that is, energy. In fact, all natural empaths have an innate ability to sense spiritual energy, and to be accepting of it and oriented to it. Empaths don’t need practical proof of everything. They don’t rely only on material or physical “reality” for knowledge and meaning. Thus, empaths whether their sensitivity is innate or acquired live their lives as a quest for the spiritual and a desire for the transcendental. They seek to become mystically attuned, inspired, and healed.

Sheryl tells of being at a Broadway show when she was 17 years old and hearing the song “The Impossible Dream” and knowing she had to go where others were afraid to go, even angels, and explore all the realms of here and beyond to find out Who we were? Where we came from? And what a physical life and soul life was about in reality and in energy.

Elaine suggests that many perceptions are based in beliefs and societal mores family attitudes and not always what is true or best for each individual. Until old traumas fears and limitations are released, we are not free to change or create new perceptions of our desired reality and to know the greater truth of Universal Source or being. Empaths like everyone else need to recreate themselves using their intuitive knowingness and shedding the past but to do that and Because empaths carry within them an inclination to love unconditionally, it is important to understand that there is no love without self-love. Those who lack self-compassion or patience or self-forgiveness cannot reflect authentic strength in fellow feeling. Self-love is the starting point of empathy. Empaths feel love easily; they see beyond the personalities of others and connect instead with their soul essence. But without self-love, self-respect, and self-forgiveness, they may find themselves bereft, exhausted, or feeling worthless; they may end up in a struggle with the self-loathing facet of the ego that dominates the thinking mind.

As an artist Elaine accesses intuitive knowing through creative drawing and journaling. Elaine writes, “The space between us is sacred. It is the approach, the port, the inhaled breath before the word is spoken. That space holds our intentions, the choices we are about to make, our hopes, our longings, our fears. It is the place where the next miracle will unfold. Through empathy, we can fill that space with clarity and the presence of compassion. We may sense a separation between ourselves and others, but with empathy and compassion, we acknowledge our shared humanity and our common existence. We recognize that we are alive together at a specific point in time, and that we have a lot of power to bestow love, to bring goodness into our shared experiences. How we treat one another becomes, ultimately, how we treat ourselves.

This truth is perfectly expressed by Rabbi Evan Shultz in his 2021 work, “A Poem Using Book Titles in My Library.”

In every generation,
In every tongue, A time to speak.
Like dreamers Stepping forward, Restoring hope,
A passion for truth. Shared dreams,
American values,
Religious voices,
Political tribes,
Tough choices,
Broken tablets. You’re more powerful than you think!
To bless the space between us.

As Rabbi Shultz so gracefully assures us, empathy makes our lives so much brighter. It makes us feel as if we are in a wondrous celebration at times. When we approach others with room to go beyond our egoic sense of pride, competition, and labeling, we fill the space between us with benevolent thoughts and compassion.

Elaine tells us of the mental processing of intuitive-empathic impression. The mental processing of intuitive-empathic impressions usually occurs after the initial gathering of emotive energy rather than in the moment. Through repeated experience, empaths develop a response mechanism that envelops on-the-spot compassion and combines it with kindly self-containment. They learn not to be so influenced by the hurt or even the agendas of others, that they don’t get swallowed up or swept away by them. Because they are sensitive, they are susceptible. When empaths are moved by the words or experiences of others, when they react immediately with mercurial feelings of empathy, they can easily lose themselves in the exchange and make themselves vulnerable. The feelings of others can become theirs and be felt within their own physical being.

Elaine writes, “If I go to a party, everyone’s energy slams me. I feel this person’s tension and that person’s anger and that person’s wish to forget pain. I can tell when someone is holding back and I easily get uncomfortable. I start feeling all this and, before I know it, it’s as if they’re my own emotions. Yet, when I arrived, I was feeling fine. rather than in the moment. Through repeated experience, empaths develop a response mechanism that envelops on-the-spot compassion and combines it with kindly self-containment. They learn not to be so influenced by the hurt or even the agendas of others that they get swallowed up or swept away by them. Because they are sensitive, they are susceptible.

Empaths are caught in a daily storm of varying emotive sensations, even in the most casual of exchanges with others. For them, events that anyone else may consider meaningless and forgettable may seem significant. Reflecting on these empathic storms, in which they are inundated with the emotions or thoughts of others, can help them cope with the residual feelings that may surface for them once the interactions have ended and the cloudburst has subsided. This time of reflection helps empaths review their impressions and find their own place for centering again. It helps them to clarify for themselves what they felt during an encounter and try to understand why they felt it. This takes time, but it is time well spent, because it keeps empaths from getting layered with residual emotions to the point of breaking down. When empaths do end up immersed in the energy of others, whether they want it to happen or not, they must then deal with the consequences.

Compassion empathy and intuition heal your world. Once empaths develop pivotal awareness that allows them to empathize without taking on responsibility for the pain or predicament of others, however, they can more easily manage these emotional onslaughts. By becoming conscious of what is happening while it is happening, and acknowledging that they don’t have to soak it all up in the moment, they realize that the woes they are encountering belong to others and not to themselves. This makes them stronger spiritually, and enables them to be strong for others as well, offering care and listening without being inundated energetically. Instead of drowning in the downpour of impressions, they become able to connect with others through heart-centered healing energy and prayers for their well-being. “When I was a teenager, my mother told me every time I spent time with this one friend, I came home in a terrible mood. I realized I was juggling all of the feelings and energy of that person and that a lot of it was negative. It was going directly from her into me. Sometimes I’d have anxiety from so much energy coming at me. I had to get away from that.” It is not an empath’s job to rescue anyone, although most empaths have tried and perhaps many times over.

But empaths are at their best when for others as well, offering care and listening without being inundated energetically. Instead of drowning in the down pour of impressions, they become able to connect with others through heart-centered healing energy and prayers for their well-being.

Elaine writes, “When I was a teenager, my mother told me every time I spent time with this one friend, I came home in a terrible mood. I realized I was juggling all of the feelings and energy of that person and that a lot of it was negative. It was going directly from her into me. Sometimes I’d have anxiety from so much energy coming at me. I had to get away from that.” Empaths must realize they are not the grand overseers of others’ lives. Nor are they the personal consiglieri of others, although they may very much wish they could help heal those they care about, even those who may try to draw them into every personal drama. Most empaths learn sometimes the hard way that they cannot manage or heal any adult life other than their own. Once they discover ways to take ethical action using their empathic skills without getting enmeshed in the sagas of others, they become more stable and are able to enjoy the many wonderful aspects of being empathic.

Synchronistic events, signs, and mysteriously interesting happenings are what empaths live by and for, even when doing everyday tasks. For empaths, that which is material, physical, or concretely fixed is not just solid mass, because even inanimate objects carry some kind of energetic vibration. Empaths get a surge of energy from everything. For them, objects give off a frequency and a quality of personality that is deeply felt and cannot be ignored. They often attribute human qualities to objects, playfully “seeing into” or even “seeing through” whatever they encounter at any given time. They also know when something feels “good” and when it gives off an unpleasant vibe. In fact, they are spiritually psychogenic toward objects they handle or use.

An example: But how do these impressions arise? “I wanted to enjoy browsing in the antique shop, but found myself in a soup of disturbing feelings, as if I sensed all these people who h/0ad lived and died. There were heavy sentiments attached to the antiques. I had an overwhelming feeling about each thing I laid my eyes on, not to mention when from everything these, objects give off a frequency and a quality of personality that is deeply felt and cannot be ignored. They often attribute human qualities to objects, playfully “seeing into” or even “seeing through” whatever they encounter at any given time. They also know when something feels “good” and when it gives off an unpleasant vibe. In fact, they are spiritually psychogenic toward objects they handle or use. But how do these impressions arise? I touched things. It wasn’t that this was negative energy, but it was all just too much to take in. A silver sable brush or some old oval mirror, a tool chest made of oak—all the objects in the place just weighed me down inside. It was as if I felt the lives of all the people who had used those things and I had to get out and breathe fresh air.”

Empaths receive what may not be visible or immediately obvious to others through a “sixth sense” the mind’s eye, or third-eye visions. They pick up on this wave of feeling, which is often sensed as psychic imagery, internalizing it all and projecting their perceptions back outward. In fact, they “see” in ways that are quite like the way we see when we dream, when our physical eyes are closed. Empaths may receive input from this sixth sense all day long.

In fact, they “see” in ways that are quite like the way we see when we dream, when our physical eyes are closed. Empaths may receive input from this sixth sense all day long seeing color, details of rooms or spaces, features of landscapes or places, and all kinds of people and animals. These third-eye visions are at times like seeing “through a glass darkly,” and at times as clear as if seen in broad daylight.

Elaine tells us that although empaths may appear to be focusing on events or circumstances in the moment, such as in group conversations, they may also be inwardly seeing what is unfolding on a completely different level on a screen in their minds. They may be listening, but also sensing strongly what is left unsaid, what is felt beneath the surface of people around them. They may be watching the aura of light around others or picking up on some inward sadness that goes unnoticed or appears irrelevant to most. Empaths continually see these mental images these flashes of colorful and impressive visions as information streams in their minds that enter through the third eye or in other forms. This kind of seeing and sensing, without the use of the physical eyes, is most common during the dream state, in which scenes arrive and change in a multi-dimensional or multi-faceted way. In fact, paying attention to dreams is one way we can develop empathic knowing

Seeking wisdom through dreams, signs, and synchronicities is really fun because, when you are open to the expectation and anticipation of these events, you are delighted when you recognize them happening. So much is possible once you develop a strong companionship with your imaginative subconscious self. Often, the line between sleep and wakefulness blurs and you begin to see elements from inside a dream during the day sometimes unexpectedly. Empaths often remark on how exhilarating this can feel when it happens.

Some signs that empaths say they notice regularly include:

Cardinals. “It is my grandmother saying hello.”
Coins. “I found one in the shower as if it came out of nowhere!”
Feathers. “I heard an owl outside my window. In my mind, I asked it for one of its feathers. The next day, while walking the dog in the backyard, I found a huge owl feather beside a tree.”
Repeating numbers (3:33, 11:11, 2:22, etc.). “Every time I look at a clock, it’s 3:33!”
Ask for signs out loud, with the expectation that you will receive them.
Look for signs like a child on a treasure hunt.
Get outside in nature with the intention of appreciating every little growing thing.

When I woke up, I asked for a sign that would verify what the spiritual robe in my dream symbolized—that I would come through okay. Later, I went to an art class where the teacher picked up an artist’s smock and said: ‘I’m going to put a robe on you.’ As she put it on me, she explained that it was the most special smock she had ever owned. The fact that she called the smock a ‘robe’ sent a little shock of delight through me. I knew instantly that it was the sign I was looking for.” There are a lot of ways to open yourself up to synchronistic signs.

Here are just a few:

Pay attention to numbers, coins, feathers, and other random objects.
Pay attention to names, titles, car license plates, etc. as if you’re on a magical journey.
Notice things that others say.
Open a book at random and point to a word with your eyes closed, then find meaning in the word. ·
Journal any thoughts and impressions you have; jot down synchronistic events so you remain in the flow.

Elaine might like readers of The Way of the Empath to take away with them after reading your book that there are many ways to connect to people and explore our human as well as divine spiritual gifts.

Elaine writes, “Sensing what is felt in others and caring empathically about it is, in many ways, the fiber that connects us to one another in our humanity. However, the professional roles people play for example, roles in which they may not be given to seeing beneath surface projections or may never feel inundated with the emotions of others are valuable as well. People get amazing things done and can benefit others greatly without necessarily having an empathic orientation to life. They may be doers-of-great-things and movers-of-mountains; they may be scientists or technical geniuses. They may never immerse themselves in empathic sensing, or they may not come to it until later in their lives. But the world is in need of all kinds of talents, actions, and improvements. And we all have unique gifts and skills that have their own value.”

We Elaine Clayton author of The Way of the Empath for all the beauty she brings into the world through her art her Reiki Healing gifts and this book which most sincerely describes and honors the lives of those whose destiny it is to serve humanity by developing and using their empathic abilities to add a new perspective to the unfolding of everyday events.

In summarizing today’s episode of Healing From Within Elaine Clayton has shown us that to be an empath is an art form—to discover how our perceptions and feelings guide and inform us, shape us and at times limit us and this requires extraordinary awareness. It takes great courage to walk the path of an empath and to learn how to use spiritual, mystical, and imaginative insight, but, learning ways to protect yourself while living with an open heart is a lifetime experience and one that is not in the least bit boring. Empaths experience synchronicity and coincidences, messages from Spirit that help lead them to use their soul heart centered intelligence in ways that protect, serve, and change old beliefs, as they grow into their awareness and higher consciousness.

Elaine writes, “Cultivate Imagination The imagination is very important as a spiritual conduit and as a creator of human connection and fulfillment. Our imaginations seem to create a momentum that puts our wishes into action on the material plane. The infinite dimensions of possibility invoked by our imaginations help create an intuitive structure, like building an ethereal castle in the air that ultimately engages with the physical world. In fact, the imagination is where it all happens! All good things exist in our minds as ideas first, before we help manifest them on this plane of existence. Cultivating our imaginations is integral to living creative lives and fundamental to living an empathic life.”

Elaine and Sheryl both empaths who have explored the world of spirit and physical life, always trying to merge and use all the awareness and guidance through our duality for best results in our personal lives, and then to share this energy of love and healing, in being observant and helpful at times, discovering that life is a great gift and living it as you have uniquely created it, is being in alignment to the universe and spirit and that was always from the beginning of time the purpose of life.

Welcome to Healing From Within with your host Sheryl Glick RMT Reiki Master Teacher and author of a trilogy with the newest edition A New Life Awaits: Spirit Guided Insights to Support Global Awakening which shares stories and messages from Spirit showing us our challenges are not merely economic political or societal but a deep disconnect from our inner soul wisdom. Today we welcome Catherine Shainberg Ph.D. author of The Kabbalah of Light who is an internationally renowned transpersonal psychologist, lecturer, and author. The Kabbalah of Light integrates timeless wisdom with modern Western traditions in order to facilitate or catalyze creative manifestation at all levels in all areas of life.

As listeners of Healing From Within are well aware, Sheryl and her creative guests share intimate stories that reveal we are spiritual beings having a physical life to refine our inner soul energy and improve human conditions. By fully recognizing our duality of spiritual and physical energies, we can know ourselves with more awareness and answer the important questions Who are we? Where do we come from? What is the purpose or scope of this life?

In today’s episode of Healing From Within Catherine Shainberg shows us that from her early remembrances of childhood, she was aligned to spiritual guidance and functioning by downloading information from Spirit. In The Kabbalah of Light, she shares an approach and body of techniques using dreams, images, and inner gazing to communicate with our subconscious, connect to Spirit, and make advantageous changes to our lives.

When Catherine thinks back to her childhood to remember a person, place, event, or interest that may have alerted her to her path in life or destiny, she tells us that she always knew she was here in this life to help others remember their soul and the connection they had to the universal eternal source of life. Catherine tells Sheryl that when she lived in England as a little girl, every night she saw a homeless person outside her window and she imagined that woman being covered in a blue, warm, and comforting blanket that would help her sleep at night. Catherine might not have known it at the time, but she was actually sending Distant healing and helping that woman heal.

Catherine writes, “I have always been fascinated by the subconscious. At first, I didn’t know what the word meant—but I knew I was more interested in following what my imaginary friends were doing, than what was happening around the dinner table. In fact, I saw no difference between the angels and fairies that populated my world, and my little friends I played with in Hyde Park. It was my mother who persistently reminded me to pay attention to the real world, and not to dream my life away. I developed many strategies to remain aware of what was happening around me, and so I was able to accomplish the many tasks that were required of me at home and at school. But at the same time, I couldn’t ignore the goings-on in my other world. It took me years to understand that most people simply lived in the real world and paid scant attention to the other world. To me, this was a terrible loss. The flow of my imagination was varied and quick, and endlessly entertaining. It also educated me. A large dry leaf could be restored to the soft green of early spring, the leaf still attached to its branch, and the branch to a centuries-old tree whose wisdom I could hear booming in my inner ear. Souls required me to accompany them to their heavenly rest. I lived a life of richness and beauty I couldn’t get enough of. I devoured fairy tales and mythological stories. Voices spoke words in my ears that I generously transmitted to my playmates. This led to me being accused of lying and then punished. I soon learned not to communicate what I heard and saw. I became secretive and mute about my inner world, but the lure of the inner world was too powerful.”

Catherine goes on to tells us about the origin of life and writes, “When I go to sleep, this is exactly what I do. I hover over the subconscious and I create light. Have you ever wondered how this inner illumination works? The sun’s rays do not penetrate inside your body, and there are no electric bulbs to illuminate the space within. Inside of you it is dark. And yet, each time you turn your eyes inward, light goes on and forms appear. The Kabbalists call this light the “light of creation” to differentiate it from the light of the sun. They say that God created with this light, but that it was too strong for the vessels that held it and so they shattered. (So,) Then He created the sun and stars‡ to channel the light so that we could be shielded from his naked light and not be destroyed. It is said that only Moses, the greatest of Biblical prophets, had a clear mirror reflecting the pure light of God. We are not Moses, but our work is God creates light on the first day, but the sun, moon and stars only on the fourth day. Kabbalists call the light of the first day the light of creation to slowly acclimatize our eyes to the true light. We start with one sixtieth of this light, the light that we create, like God, by looking into the darkness. Think of it: Each time you turn your eyes inward, you create more light. Of course, unless you consciously pay attention to its appearance, that light won’t stay. If, on the contrary, you make turning inward a conscious practice, the more you look in and create light, the more light coalesces within you. I am talking of a very practical concrete technology of creating light and becoming in effect ‘enlightened.’ Dreaming is not only one of the great paths to enlightenment, it is your path to manifestation. God looks into the chaos and creates light, and out of this light, forms emerge.”

Catherine also tells us about a cultural Dream Field, a national Dream Field, and a universal Dream Field. Carl Jung called our universal Dream Field the “collective unconscious”. “Others have called it the Akashic records. All these different dream fields are interacting networks of experience, cauldrons of images that make us who and how we are. Your subconscious is a container, impressed by the experiences it is filled with. It has no power to change those impressions. Because it is part of your subconscious, your body cannot change itself unless you consciously look into your body and allow it to show you its dreaming. Your experiencing body interacting with your conscious looking is your dreaming. Not all dreams are the same. Some dreams are clues to the next part of your life’s journey. Other dreams fall straight into the source, and like the hero Perceval, you are given a glimpse of the treasure. But, like him, you may not be able to grasp it. We will examine what the different kinds of dreams are in the next chapter, and how they fit into a rising ladder of dreaming that leads to enlightenment. First, we must accustom ourselves to recognizing the storyline, the pattern, and the main question of the dream. If we succeed, the golden fish or secret treasure will jump. This is what is called revelation. Revelation brings greater clarity and power. The dreamer will be shown what the next step is.”

Catherine has created something called Saphire Imagery. Catherine tells us, “Your night dreams and daytime visions are the result of these two activities- the first activity— storage—happens subconsciously, without your active participation. The second—induction—requires a stirring of the subconscious soup. An unexpected jolt or shock may set off a dream or daytime vision. Or you may consciously induce a jolt to provoke a dream or vision. There are two types of induction: the night induction that is called incubation, and the daytime induction that is specific to Saphire, the ancient Kabbalistic lineage I belong to.

Let us first look at the narrower definition of incubation, as it was practiced in classical Greece, and later across the ancient Mediterranean world. Most of the examples of dream incubation that have come down to us are pleas for healing. Asclepius, son of Apollo, was the god of healing. His temples, called Asclepions, were dedicated to the practice of healing through dream therapy.

The pilgrimage, the sacrifice, the sleeping in a sacred place, are all steps that must be modified in a modern context. What do pilgrimage and sacrifice imply? A burning desire—a willingness to “sacrifice” your all—to get an answer. What do you want to know so urgently today, that you are willing to dedicate all your time, energy and resources to it? While most examples we have from the ancient world were requests for healing dreams, your questions can be more far reaching. A modern day example of a priest-interpreter of dreams is Edgar Cayce, with the difference being that he did the dreaming for his patients, using dream incubation to read his patients’ bodies, and then suggested a remedy.”

Catherine shares with us how she found her spiritual teacher in the Middle East and the coincidence discovered later on that her teacher actually knew her mother and aunt from childhood at a school in Algeria. Catherine writes, “I describe my meeting with Colette Aboulker-Muscat, who was to become my Kabbalah teacher and spiritual mother, in my first book, Kabbalah and the Power of Dreaming. A year after meeting Colette, my aunt came to visit. I took her to meet Colette, and to my amazement, the two ladies fell into each other’s arms. They had gone to the same school in Oran, Algeria, where they grew up, as had my mother. My mother at the same school as Colette? In fact, she lived across the street from her! The voice had led me across the seas and all the way to the door of a lady who, while definitely not accessible to my conscious mind, was known to my subconscious mind. How was that possible? I will tell you more about how this amazing story unfolds in the chapter on ancestry. You will find out how my all-knowing subconscious spanned eight hundred years to link my present incarnation to Colette’s ancestors.

Who was Colette? To me she was one of the great loves of my life, my teacher, my spiritual mother, my home. When I was first introduced to her, I had no idea that she was a teacher. She sat me in front of her, looked me in the eyes and said, “What do you want?” To my utter surprise, unrehearsed and unexpected words came out of my mouth, “I want you to teach me how images move and transform people.” This is what I had been pondering since childhood. She smiled and said, “I have waited for you a long time!” Colette was one of the most notable female Kabbalists living in the land of Israel at the time. To the many who came from all over the world seeking consolation and enlightenment she was a revered spiritual teacher. For those of you who wonder about a woman teaching Kabbalah, it is true that Ashkenazi rabbis* required those studying Kabbalah to be men, over forty-years-old, and married. No women were allowed to plunge the depths. But Colette was from a Sephardic family and so no such restrictions applied. Her grandmother had been a famous teacher to the rabbis Ashkenazis were originally Jewish settlers in northern and eastern Europe.”

Sheryl says there really are no coincidences and nothing is random. It was in Catherine’s life plan or destiny to meet this spiritual teacher at the right time in her development. Perhaps the connection to her mother and aunt made her realize that indeed it was a divine plan at work for her empowerment.

Catherine goes on to write “Today an Ashkenazi is one who follows Ashkenazi practices and customs. The rules for teaching Kabbalah have been loosened and there are contemporary rabbis (even orthodox ones) who teach Kabbalah to women and people under forty. Jews living around the Mediterranean sea and Jewish community in Algiers. Her granddaughter was simply following in her footsteps. Colette was the last lineage holder of her family’s ancient Kabbalistic tradition, a tradition that dated back to the thirteenth century, but was said to go back to the patriarchs and prophets who roamed the land during biblical times. Colette restored my joy and trust in the power of dreaming to lead me to myself. Who was I? I was going to find out, and the truth was grander and more magnificent than I had ever dared hope for. I was going to find out that dreaming is a royal road to enlightenment, and that our subconscious holds the key to our true meaning and destiny.”

In The Kabbalah of Life, Catherine shares guided imagery exercises that you can practice on your own. Exercises called “formal” build new habits. They are practiced differently, depending on your gender and age. If you desire to continue a formal practice, vary the exercises. Practicing a different formal exercise each cycle can help your subconscious catch onto the rhythm and incorporate the images.

Breathing is an important aspect of formal exercises. Three exhalations are needed to reach the depth of the subconscious. Most of the exercises are very short and give you thirty seconds to a minute or two to look through the metaphoric window into the subconscious created by the words of the induction. When you go fast you have no time to indulge in fantasy. Breathe out, look through the window, see what you see, and open your eyes.

Here is a practice or exercise that can help you find answer to any question.

“Exercise 10 The Question Banner: Close your eyes. Breathe out slowly three times, counting from three to one. See the one tall, clear, and bright. Gather all the different strands of your question into your hands and roll the strands up into a ball. See the color of the ball. Breathe out. Throw the ball into the sky. Watch it disappearing into the blue sky. Breathe out. On its return, see the ball unfurling like a banner over your head. What color is the banner? What image or words appear on the banner? Breathe out. Open your eyes. If the question does not call for yes or no, try asking for a dream to narrow down the issues for you. You could use this formula: what is the advice of my dreaming on the true question concerning my issue? Your question is the arrow that stirs the subconscious soup and jolts it to respond. “

“This work helps us know that “The unconscious has no hypotheses; it is a cauldron of “swirling experiences.” Tap into it, and up pops a dream image. The unconscious deals only in revelation, and revelation, being an experience, is, by definition, true. If I turn a corner and am suddenly faced with a blazing sunset over the ocean, my heart moves not to the “fact” of the sunset, but to the wondrous experience. The conscious mind deals in facts, the unconscious deals in truth.” Catherine goes on to define the conscious and unconscious mind.

“The conscious mind is naturally antagonistic to the unconscious. It prides itself on its precise observation and objectivity. It likes to separate, analyze, categorize. It uses its powerful logical thrust to establish scientific proof of things that it calls “facts.”

The unconscious has no hypotheses, it is a cauldron of swirling experiences. Tap into it, and up pops a dream image. The unconscious deals only in revelation, and revelation, being an experience, is, by definition, true. You may not mentally understand your image, but the powerful experience energizes and enlivens you. Now you are furiously writing, and your ideas are unexpected and fresh. The Hebrew Bible tells us that on the seventh day, God stopped creating in order to la’asot, to make.1 In other words, stir the pot, but then stop to let the food cook to perfection. When you stop agonizing over your report—through sleep, rest, or simply entering into an empty state of mind—your creative magma can coalesce, and it will manifest one aspect of you, the leopard springing to the task. “The soul never thinks without an image,” says Aristotle, and your leopard proves his point.”

Catherine tells us if we want to means to get to the truth of what you really want, you will tap into the unconscious. The unconscious makes up 95% of our brains activity; a “fact” verified by experimental psychologists and researchers. Our carefully analyzed and agonized choices are mostly decided by the unconscious. Our creative innovations rise up, fully formed from the unconscious, and yet most of us have no clue how to access this great power. Unlike the conscious mind, the unconscious cannot be worked out, analyzed, or pinned down, it can only be received. It will come in whatever form it chooses.

Kabbalah, which means receiving, is the science of letting the unconscious speak. To learn who you are, to discover your hidden motivations, and to speak to your body and cells, you will have to leave behind what you perceive as the safe shores of the conscious mind. When Sigmund Freud coined the words “unconscious mind,” he may not have realized that the concept of a vast unconscious part of ourselves, submerged like an iceberg beneath the surface of what we commonly call the conscious mind, has existed since time immemorial. The ancients were well aware of an unconscious realm populated by dangerous or godlike characters, fierce animals, hybrids of all sorts, and mind-boggling obstacles. What Freud understood as the unconscious mind was a store of memories, repressed emotions, and other mental complexes that remained trapped in a no-man’s-land and could negatively affect our everyday life and behavior. He believed that these repressed emotions and memories should be brought to conscious awareness in order to be cured. He interchangeably used both terms “unconscious” and “subconscious,” until he finally settled for the word unconscious. Today psychologists are still debating the differences between the two, but the word subconscious is rarely used. The preferred term is “unconscious” for all of our “other than conscious processes.”

Catherine writes, “Will you find the light? Yes, you will. This is a tried and true path to enlightenment, based on the knowledge of thousands of years of studying the plunge, and verified by many initiates’ successes in attaining light and what Jewish sages call dveikut, the cleaving of the self to the divine. This Kabbalah of dreaming is also called the Kabbalah of light or Saphire. Saphire is unique among other forms of Kabbalah, in that it limits its practice to the imagination and visualizations to access higher levels of consciousness. Whereas other schools use letters and chanting or mediations on the void, Saphire only works with dreams, day visions, waking dreams and guided imagery exercises to climb the ladder to dveikut. While the practice incorporates Jewish concepts, you do not need to be a Kabbalist, or even Jewish to do this practice, everyone dreams. “

In the practice of plunging, methodologies have varied slightly. Shamans put more of an emphasis on rituals, or chanting. In their mystery rituals, the Greeks liked to embody their gods’ myths, employing theatrical illusions, and rituals. Tibetan Buddhists use very rigorous and specific forms of visualizations of the Buddhas. The Sufis still practice the movements of the dhikr dance to induce mystical visions and heart-to-heart devotion to the teacher, representative on Earth of the perfect man. Jewish, Sufi, and Christian saints and mystics all over the world, throughout time, have plunged into waking dreams to imagine their emotional connection to world alignment. The Kabbalists, like other secrets of light, use visualizations, chanting, movements, and permutations of letters to bring Heaven on Earth.

In the Kabbalah of Light Catherine provides a step by step guide helping readers to tap into their subconscious to activate powers of manifestation and creativity using a practice passed down over eight centuries. The book and Shainberg’s method, the Saphire Imagery is based on the first Kabbalah of Light originated by Rabbi Issac the Blind of Posqjierres, France (1160-1235).

Now, Shainberg’s book draws on this ancient work to help readers discover their path to transformation. The Kabbalah of Light includes 159 short experimental exercise and practices to begin dialoguing with the subconscious through images. Beginning this productive dialogue with our inner world leads us to uncover our soul’s purpose and manifest our dreams in the outer world. Fast and simple, the practices can help readers discover their areas of “stuckness”- releasing past traumas and ancestral patterns, free the imagination, and open the way to the bliss promised by ancient traditions.

We thank Catherine Shainberg author of The Kabbalah of Light for a complete and detailed book of becoming aware of the light “within” or the unconscious mind and connections to layers of life that inform, encourage, and guide us to illuminate the soul and live lives of manifesting which is meaningful and purposeful.

In summarizing today’s episode of Healing From Within Catherine Shainberg begins a productive dialogue that can help readers tap into the inner world of energy and light to uncover our soul’s purpose and manifest our dreams in the physical outer world of our human pursuits.

Catherine writes, “The sign of a creative mind is the leap, the ability to find unexpected links between apparently disparate elements. “There is nothing new under the sun,” says Solomon, the wisest of men. But we can play with all the forms we do have. There is an inexhaustible cornucopia of possible new configurations. We often hear that many people can reason, but few are creative. Is that true? Creativity can be activated. The ability to know is a gift all men and women have been endowed with, but most adults have lost. As children we all have it—we play, we invent, full of joy and vivaciousness—until we are reined in by linear thinking. Now, as adults, how can we recover our lost joy? How do we open the floodgates of creativity? “The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge, but imagination,” says Einstein, and he should know. He saw himself riding a beam of light when he was a child. His insight was the impetus that led to the theory of relativity. Like Einstein, we do not have to go to sleep to access our creative subconscious. Many people have had sudden flashes of insight, but what brought them on? Is there another way to incubate, one that doesn’t require falling asleep?”

Catherine and Sheryl would have you rediscover the wisdom of your childhood and the dreams and creation of love beauty, kindness and hope, that allowed you to travel, view, touch, and see the world of physical beauty as well as the inner soul world of eternal infinite possibilities. By quieting our physical senses then dreaming, meditating, praying, listening to quiet music, takes us within to the world of silence, knowingness and to the creative forces of Life.

Welcome to “Healing From Within.” I am your host Sheryl Glick Reiki Master Energy Teacher medium and author of the newest book in a trilogy, A New Life Awaits which shares stories and messages from spirit to show us our challenges are not merely economic political or societal but a disconnect from our inner being or soul wisdom. I am delighted to welcome Matthew Mc Kay a clinical psychologist and author of his newest book The Luminous Landscape of the Afterlife as he shares the channeled journey of his son’s travel across time and space as he shows us what really happens as we transition from a physical life to a spiritual energetic experience.

As Listeners of “Healing From Within” have come to expect over the years my very intuitive and inspirational guests and I share intimate and illuminating views of life in both the physical and energetic aspects. As we explore the duality of our life force, we come to realize that Consciousness survives physical death and life is eternal as our soul incarnates into different times and places to continue to grow through experience, greater awareness of love, and compassion. Life beyond life, is as real as a physical life in the three- dimensional world, but can be more expansive.

In today’s episode of Healing From Within Matthew McKay specifically descries the transition experience of his son Jordan who has channeled to his father the early stages of the afterlife he experienced as he passed from this life to Spirit and shows how death is a realm of imagination and thoughts and intentions creating a luminous landscape entirely of consciousness. This wisdom provides profound relief from the fear of death, as well as exercises to learn how to communicate in spirit. We will discover the unbreakable bond between the living and dead and the love that remains forever.

Matthew tells us in detail what Jordan experienced after collapsing on a doorstep while seeking help and when he first died and how Jordan eventually made contact with his father in dreams.

Matthew writes, “That when his son died he had no idea or belief that the dead could talk to us. At best, they seemed gone in another world, separated by loss and the deafening thunder of our grief. Perhaps even worse, their passing spoke a truth far more dire: that they ceased to exist and that these sweet ephemeral spirits lived only in memory. But then Jordan started speaking to me—at first only in dreams—but then through mediums through a process called induced after death communication and then through the gift of channeled writing he told me he was here with me and could teach me what he knows about the afterlife. Here was a window into the world of spirit, an invitation to listen at the curtain between worlds and a clear awareness that death is neither an end nor even a loss. It is merely the time when we finally remember who we are and where our home is.

About five years into our channeled exchanges, Jordan decided we should write a book. Within a few minutes he had outlined all the chapters and over time he dictated much of what became our first book, Seeking Jordan.

Jordan let his father know that at the moment of death we lose our senses, our nervous system and all that has anchored us to the world. We lose our families and goals in life. We find ourselves in a place where thought creates visions, where a mere idea projects images that can capture and overwhelm us. The physical world is gone, and for a time we may not be able to hear or recognize the spirits that have come to help us. The love we feel for our soul group and guides may be masked from us. In this confusion, souls struggle to get their bearings. Some don’t yet recognize that they are dead. Some are so attached to the people and things of their past that they cling to the physical plane. Some are filled with emotions—fear anger grief shame greed that obscure the life of spirit. Some souls expect an afterlife that doesn’t exist, a picture of heaven painted from pulpits and religious training that actually prevents them from seeing what’s really there. Some souls expect nothing, an extinction of consciousness and can’t understand why they are still thinking and aware outside of their bodies.
