Janet Kadow, Living with Spirit: Recent Episodes

Support and guidance for those awakening on the spiritual path and building intuition.
janet.substack.com
The time of the guru is over. The time of handing your power over to a belief system or a spiritual leader is done, because it’s time to trust yourself.
As we move into the next phase of our spiritual growth, we find there’s no better teacher than ourselves. That includes being a better guide than your own Spirit Guide, better than any teacher you’ve ever had, better than me. The trick is getting to know yourself well enough to recognize what it feels like when Spirit is speaking versus what it feels like when it’s your intuition, your ego, your fear, or your trauma. Once you know those aspects of your own consciousness, they’ll teach you what you need to know in any situation. It won’t make you immune to being fooled (people can be tricky), but it will keep you from staying fooled for long, and it will keep you out of cults, conspiracy thinking, and other unhealthy influences.
Much of what I know about personal growth comes from my Spirit Guide, but it also comes from wonderful teachers I’ve had: Maria, Beatrex, and Alora, my very first teacher. They taught me a great deal. But once I had the basics down, my Guide told me: no more teachers, it’s just you and me now. Shortly after, I found myself living alone in New Mexico. That was ten years ago, and in that decade, I’ve learned a great deal, which is what I want to share with you: how to work with Spirit Guides, how to work with your own inner knowing, and how to build real, empowered agency without being swayed by outside influences that aren’t true for you.
How Do You Know It’s Really Your Guide?
Many people wonder how to actually get messages from their Guides. Today I want to teach you a technique Alora taught me about twenty years ago, one I still consider the most powerful of everything I teach about working with Spirit Guides.
Some people get signs, ideas, or sudden insights and assume they’re from their Guide. Sometimes they are. But sometimes it’s ego. Sometimes it’s the law of reflection: the external world mirroring back something you already believe or want to believe. Sometimes it’s just wishful thinking. So, we need a reliable way to check: was that actually your Guide?
In an earlier video, we talked about receiving signs and general guidance. This time, we’re going deeper, learning to get an actual physical sensation from your Guide, one you can use to confirm, again and again, that a message is really theirs.
Set the Right Intention First
Before you try this, intention matters enormously. If you’re doing this because you want to become a famous psychic, it won’t work. Your Guide won’t feed your ego, because fame is always ego-driven. (Trust me, I’m a Leo. I know exactly how ego can hijack a spiritual path.)
Your intention has to match your Guide’s intention: serving your highest good, and only your highest good. So before beginning, set this intention clearly: “I want to work with my Spirit Guide to serve my highest good and help me toward my highest potential.” And you have to actually believe it. Hidden motives, even ones you’ve hidden from yourself, will block the process. It can’t be about being able to tell people you can talk to your Spirit Guide. It has to be for you and you alone that you do this.
This is why intention matters so much: if it isn’t clear and sincere, you risk attracting low-level entities who are happy to pretend to be your Guide. That’s a road you don’t want to go down.
Your Guide is there to help you, not the world. The world isn’t their concern; you are. Even in my own work, when I teach and share my Guide’s messages, I do it for my joy, not because he’s assigned me some mission. When I do readings, I ask him for messages for my clients and students, and he delivers beautifully. But if I stopped tomorrow, that would be entirely fine with him. He’s never once told me I’m “the one,” called to “teach the masses.” That kind of thinking is ego, not guidance.
This is the heart of it: your Guide will help you help others if you ask, but it’s never mandatory, because Spirit has no agenda. You don’t have to answer some cosmic calling to be a spiritual person unless you want to. This is entirely up to you. And that’s exactly why you are the teacher, not your Guide. You can always ask for help, direction, advice, and insight. But you’re the one who decides what to do with it.
The Practice: Feeling Your Guide’s “Yes”
So, how do you know whether an idea, a nudge, or a sign is from your Guide, your intuition, or your ego? Here’s how to find out.
Get into a quiet, comfortable space, sitting, lying down, even in your car, somewhere you can close your eyes and turn your attention fully inward.
Begin with three cleansing breaths. These open your energy field, settle you, and prepare you for connection. Breathe in slowly through your nose, and blow it out gently through your mouth. Repeat three times.
Then let your breathing settle into a natural, gentle rhythm in and out of your nose, eyes closed. Check in with your body, release any tension, get as comfortable as you can.
Ask your Guide to help you sense their presence. Silently, telepathically, invite your Guide, and only your Guide, here to serve your highest good, to let you know they’re near. See if you notice anything: a feeling in your heart, a sense of them being behind you, beside you, or in front of you. This part isn’t the main exercise, it’s simply opening your awareness. Whether you feel anything, thank your Guide for being with you. This can take practice; sensitivity builds with consistency. Your Guide will always be gentle: sacred law doesn’t allow them to startle or scare you, so the sensation may be subtle at first.
Now asked for your “yes” signal. With your eyes still closed, breathing gently, ask your Guide, and only your Guide, to give you a physical sensation that means yes. Tune into your body for any pressure, tickle, or tingling. People experience this differently: pressure on the heart or the crown of the head, a tickle on the cheek, tingling in the stomach or legs. It might also come through as an emotional wave: sudden peace, love, or joy. If nothing comes right away, settle back in and ask again. When you’re done, give thanks, whether you felt anything.
If you felt something but aren’t sure it was real, you can ask your Guide to amplify it, to strengthen it to be more unmistakable. That’s a completely valid ask.
If nothing happens at first, that’s okay; this is a skill that builds with repetition. Most of us live very much in our heads, somewhat closed off from the physical, so learning to receive this kind of signal takes practice for nearly everyone.
Trusting the Signal
Once you’ve identified your “yes” sensation, that’s really all you need; you don’t need a “no” signal. In my experience, Guides don’t like saying no, and Spirit avoids it. If something is answered “no” often, or bluntly told you what to do, it likely isn’t your Guide. Real Guides are unfailingly positive, loving, gentle, and non-demanding. They’ll offer suggestions if you ask for advice, but they will never issue commands. That would violate Divine Law.
This “yes” sensation isn’t limited to meditation. Once you’ve calibrated it, it can show up anywhere: in the middle of a business meeting, mid-conversation, any time you silently ask a question. Guides speak through ideas, inspiration, imagination, and dreams; this technique gives you a way to check your interpretation in real time.
One reassuring detail: your Guide will typically choose a sensation you can’t consciously produce yourself, something distinct from any ordinary itch or twitch you already experience. That’s part of what makes it trustworthy. It’s a sensation that stands apart, precisely so you can’t second-guess whether you imagined it.
I still use this tool constantly, even now, twenty years and countless conversations with my Guide later. I get plenty of direct, verbal answers these days, but I still love calling on that unmistakable physical “yes.” There’s no doubting it. There’s nothing else it could be but their reminder that they are there and cheering me on.
Try this practice and see what you notice. I’d love to hear how your Guide responded. Leave a comment and let me know, especially if you ran into any trouble along the way. And join me for my livestreams on https://www.youtube.com/@JanetKadow every Saturday at 12pm Pacific / 3pm Eastern.

When we talk about spirit guides, we talk about divine beings. Whether you think of them as angelic, as ascended masters, or as ancestors, they are individual expressions of divine love — present with you from the moment you’re born until the day you die.
Most of us have little to no everyday awareness of them. But we have access to them. And once you learn how to open that connection, our life flows with more ease and more joy.
Focus on One Guide
There are many theories about who our spirit guides are and how many we have. Some believe guides change throughout our lifetime; others believe we have one guide, or a handful, who walk with us from birth to death. For this practice, I want you to focus on one guide — your primary guide.
Whenever you ask something of your guide, phrase it as “my guide, and only my guide.” This matters. It’s what keeps lower-level entities that may want to interfere at a distance.
I always recommend working with your guide and only your guide, especially when you’re just starting out. There are entities that will pretend to be your guide if you don’t approach the connection with discipline and clear intention.
You’ll also want to ask that whatever you receive be in your highest good. This is supporting you on the path to your fullest potential. Your highest good isn’t about rigid self-discipline or moral perfection. It’s about the truest, most authentic expression of your soul. That expression is always a source of genuine joy.
Your Guide Has No Agenda
Spirit guides don’t care whether you’re a “good” or “bad” person, or what you have or haven’t done. They care about one thing: that you are happy, fulfilled, and living authentically.
So every request you make can rest on two intentions: That it’s your guide, and only your guide, helping you. That the help supports your highest good.
That combination keeps the bad energy, the bad information, the low-level entities looking to take advantage of anyone who’s a little intuitive, a little open, but not yet grounded in discipline.
Those entities feed the ego. If a “guide” is handing out commands, telling you that you’re here to save the world, or puffing you up; that’s not your spirit guide. That’s something else running you around. A real spirit guide is always supportive and loving, unconditionally, and asks nothing of you in return.
This matters even when your intentions are good. You may feel called to be of service in the world, which is a beautiful impulse. But you would be better off by being of service to humanity, not to spirit. Spirit needs nothing from you. You can ask your guide how to be of service, but if that path becomes a burden or a source of stress, they won’t push you toward it. They’re only interested in what brings you joy.
My spirit guide is a remarkable teacher, and I’ve learned extraordinary things from him. I love sharing what I learn; teaching is my art form and my passion. But he doesn’t require me to teach. He supports it because I love it. If it were a burden instead of a joy, he wouldn’t be pushing me toward it. That’s how you’ll know: a spirit guide will never force you into something that doesn’t bring you joy. If something felt like guidance but left you miserable, it wasn’t your guide.
There’s no shame in getting it wrong sometimes. Learning to work with this energy means occasionally misreading it. Then use it to reflect afterward on what happened. What was the question? What was the intention behind it? Was the answer misinterpreted? That evaluation process is part of the practice.
Practice: Ask Your Guide for a Favor
Here’s a simple seven-day practice to build your connection.
You don’t need to visualize your guide. You don’t need to know if they’re male or female, or anything else about them. They don’t hold on to identity the way we do. They have an energy signature, a kind of hue or vibration that makes them distinct, but their name and identity matter far more to you than to them.
Start by naming your guide. Choose any name that resonates — Steve, Kevin, Theodore, Jennifer, Caroline, whatever feels right. Your guide will be completely at ease with whatever you choose.
Once you’ve named them, the practice is this:
● In the morning, upon waking, say something like: “I ask my guide, and only my guide, the one I call Caroline, to make my day easy.” Then thank them, even before anything has happened: “I thank my guide, and only my guide, for making my day easy.”
● Go about your day. You do not need to make any further effort. Let it unfold.
● At night, before bed, say: “Thank you for making my day easy.”
Do this for at least seven days. Set a phone reminder if it helps; the habit takes a few days to stick.
At the end of the week, reflect on what shifted. Did your days feel easier? Did anything change? If nothing seemed different, that’s fine too. The practice itself is still valuable because gratitude opens the way. Spirit can’t help us if we don’t ask, and gratitude opens our energy field to receive, which is why we give thanks before the gift has even arrived.

Expect Resistance — And Do It Anyway
In these seven days, expect your mind to push back. Your ego may tell you this is nonsense, a waste of time, silly. That’s normal. Do the practice anyway.
To overcome resistance, one should agree with it rather than argue against it. “You might be right. It might be nonsense. I’m going to try it, anyway.” When you don’t fight the doubt, there’s nothing left for it to push against, and it quiets down. That doubt, that self-judgment, is the ego trying to keep you from listening to spirit.
This is a small step, but it opens up something much bigger. Every request builds trust. Every act of asking strengthens the communication between you and your guide. And spirit doesn’t discriminate between big requests and small ones. They’ll help with the minutiae of life just as readily as anything else: getting somewhere on time, an easy grocery run, waking up when you need to. Because when the small chaos and stress of daily life fade, you’re free to grow on a completely different level.
A Note on What “Spiritual” Means
There’s a common belief that being spiritual means hours of meditation and prayer, a particular lifestyle, and a particular set of practices. But your guide isn’t asking for that. They want the most authentic expression of you, whatever that looks like. If that’s cleaning houses, building buildings, or driving for a rideshare app, that’s exactly right for you, and that’s what they’ll support.
The one place they won’t help is anything that causes harm to you or to someone else. Beyond that, they don’t always perceive what looks difficult to us in the same way. Sometimes what feels hard is exactly what needs to be moved through in order to release what’s been holding us back from our potential.
Try this practice for seven days and notice what shifts. I’d love to hear about your experience — leave a comment or reach out. And if you want to go deeper into this work, join me for my live sessions every Saturday at 12pm Pacific / 3pm Eastern on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/@JanetKadow

“Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth…”
For centuries, this line from Revelation has been used to stir fear, anticipation, and a sense of looming judgment. Yet its deeper purpose has very little to do with punishment or destruction. It speaks instead to a transformation of consciousness. It speaks to an awakening that unfolds quietly within the human soul long before it ever becomes visible in the world.
Traditional prophecies across cultures are the way-showers of humanity’s evolution. They do not dictate fate. They mark thresholds. They gently indicate the stages humanity passes through as it matures into greater unity, compassion, and awareness. They show us where we are on the great spiral of becoming.
Traditional prophecies are not predictions. They are markers of human evolution.
What is often missed is that this collective evolution must also unfold within the individual.
The Book of Revelation serves this more intimate role. It is the map of human consciousness itself.
Its symbols are not external villains or future catastrophes. They are inner states of being. The beast, the trials, the reckonings, and the final unveiling reflect the psyche as it journeys through fear, separation, healing, and remembrance. Revelation is a sacred mirror. It teaches the soul how to walk through its own darkness and come home to its light.
Revelation is not a forecast. It is a mirror.
The “new heaven and new earth” are not places we travel to. They are states of awareness we grow into.
Across time and tradition, every authentic prophecy points toward the same destination, though on a greater collective scale. Humanity evolves into a unified consciousness where compassion becomes natural, intuition becomes trustworthy, and connection to the divine becomes constant rather than ceremonial. This evolution is certain. What remains open is the path we choose to walk.
The new heaven and the new earth are states of awareness, not destinations.
Hardship has long been humanity’s stern teacher. Pain has cracked the heart open when gentleness was resisted. Yet suffering is not the requirement. It is the feedback that arises when compassion has not yet matured.
The purpose of hardship has never been punishment. It has always been to restore remembrance of our shared divine nature and our belonging to one another.
Suffering is not the requirement. It is the detour.
To bring light is not to perform spirituality. It is to embody unconditional love free of agenda. It is the quiet strength of mercy, humility, clarity, and discernment woven together.
Light does not erase boundaries. It strengthens them.Light does not demand sacrifice of the self. It restores the self to wholeness.
Divine love allows kindness without collapse. It allows compassion without self-betrayal. It allows generosity without depletion. It teaches us how to love wisely.
Bringing the Light is not performance. It is all that is required.
The healing of humanity begins in the regulation of the human heart.
This is why your connection to your Spirit Guide matters so deeply. Your guide is not a symbol. Your guide is a living bridge to divinity. Through that connection, your nervous system aligns with peace. Your emotional body learns safety. Your mind remembers clarity. Your soul rests back into its natural state of gentle knowing.
You do not need ritual or perfection. You need only presence.
Sit quietly. Ask your spirit guide to bring the feeling of unconditional love into your being. Then wait. Let it fill your heart, your breath, your thoughts, and your body. Even one minute a day begins to soften old defenses and awaken natural compassion.
This is not personal growth. This is planetary work.
Every regulated loving heart weakens the field of fear.Every loving being lightens the collective burden.Every moment of embodied compassion shortens the distance between who humanity has been and who humanity is becoming.
The New Heaven does not descend through destruction.It rises through gentleness.
The New Earth does not emerge through collapse.It blossoms through love.
We are not waiting for prophecy.We are remembering our Divine selves.

Working with Spirit isn’t about giving up your power, instead, it’s about stepping into it more fully. Spirit Guides aren’t here to command or control your life. They’re here to support your growth, to remind you of your own wisdom, strength, and clarity. That’s the real magic. The relationship is never about dependency. It’s about empowerment.
If you’re learning to connect with your guides, keep that in mind. Their purpose isn’t to hand you answers but to guide you, share their wisdom, and to help you remember that you already know. That’s what I teach, and that’s what I live by. Trust the process. Let Spirit be your ally, not your authority.

When I was a little girl, I was told that everyone has a guardian angel, a spirit who watches over us and is ready to help with anything if we just ask. That belief stayed with me, even when I forgot about it for a while. But as I got older and began working more deeply with Spirit in my 40s, I realized something: that childhood idea was true. In fact, it was more expensive and beautiful than I ever imagined.
Let's talk about spirit guides. Who are they? What are they? And how do we work with them?
Types of Spirit Guides
Spirit guides come in many forms. Some are angels. These are powerful beings of light who have never incarnated in a physical body. Ascended masters, similar beings to Jesus, Buddha, and various saints and avatars, to be spirit guides. These beings have lived on Earth and mastered its challenges. They understand human struggles, including our emotions, decisions, and fears. Because they have experienced it themselves, they make compassionate and grounded guides.
Then we have ancestors. These may be members of our genetic lineage, such as great-grandparent, or they may belong to our soul lineage. This idea might sound cosmic, but the belief is that before we incarnated on Earth, we may have lived in other galaxies, on different planets, or in distant realms. Beings from that place of origin connected us to a soul family still watches over us. They are part of our broader spiritual ancestry.
The Agreement Before Birth
The belief is that our guides agree to walk with us through life before we are born. You may have a few guides or several.
Some teachings suggest different guides support different areas of life. For instance, you might have one guide for relationships, another for finances, and others for learning, healing, or personal growth. Some of these guides stay with you for life, while others may come and go based on what you are experiencing. These possibilities could all be true. Spirit works to support what you need that is unique to you.
Connecting With Your Spirit Guide
When you're ready to connect with your spirit guides, I recommend starting with just one. Each guide has a distinct energy, similar to how people have unique personalities or accents. Their ways of communicating are also unique. By focusing on just one guide at first, you can become familiar with their presence and communication style to build a strong relationship.
When I teach others how to connect, I always suggest asking for your spokes-guide. This is the guide who speaks on behalf of all the others. The one who helps you with every aspect of life and communicates clearly and consistently.
You can ask this guide for a name, or you can choose one for them. My guide first introduced himself as Fred, which was sweet and simple. From then on, I always knew who I was talking to when I used that name. You can do the same. You may get a simple name first or you can give your guide a name so that you always know exactly who you're speaking with.
It's important to be very clear and specific in your request. Say, "I ask to connect with my guide and only my guide, the one who speaks on behalf of all my guides and serves my highest good." This level of clarity protects you because not all spiritual energies have pure intentions. Some may pretend to be guides, but authentic guides work only in love and alignment with your soul's purpose.
Just Ask
You don't need to be psychic or spiritually advanced to work with your guide. You don't need to receive visions or profound messages. All you need to do is ask. That's the beginning.
Be willing. Stay open. Invite them into your life. The more you ask, the more they will show up. You'll notice them through synchronicities, subtle nudges, insights, and small but meaningful changes. Their presence becomes stronger with time.
And no, they likely won't appear in physical form. That would be quite startling! But they will be real, and you will recognize their influence in your life more and more.
Join Me
If you're curious to learn more, I'm teaching a class on working with spirit guides on May 29th. We'll explore how to connect with your guide, how to receive their messages, and how to deepen your communication with Spirit. It's going to be a magical and empowering experience, and I would love you to join us.
Until then, keep asking, keep listening, and remember—your guide is already with you.

The truth is not abstract or subjective. Sensitives, intuitives and psychics can see the truth of a situation with some discipline, awareness and practice. Without those, the fog of illusion created by lies can easily fool them. If one is not aware of how to get through that, then they are apt to believe the illusion.
If you are psychically sensitive, consider how a lie makes you feel. You most likely will feel a kind of subtle tensing of the body, or a confusion of the mind, or an emotional charge. Liars manipulate by lying, so if you feel fear, urgency, or indignation, you are most likely being lied to. Lies are also disempowering and may create a feeling of helplessness. If you are being told something and this is coming up for you, wait before you buy it and see if there is more to the situation than is being revealed.
As intuitives, you don’t need to be a body language expert to know when a lie is being told. You don’t need to tune into the liar at all. You need only be aware of your own physical responses. Look for the subtle cues from your own energy.
The truth holds an entirely different energy. The truth shows the way forward. When dealing with a crisis, the truth will show the way to the solution. Whereas lies will make you feel hopeless and disempowered, the truth offers a call to action. The truth holds the answer to the problem.
There are two more important things to know about the truth. One is that it is not dramatic. Because it lacks emotional impact, the revelation of truth can go unnoticed. It is more of a bland or even neutral response. It can be very ho-hum and therefore rarely amplified or shared. The truth is ordinary.
The other thing to know is that the truth is healing. Although, as stated above, the truth is ordinary; it doesn’t mean that it cannot be surprising or even painful. Like discovering you are being cheated on or a long-held family secret being revealed. These moments of pain or shock will be followed by healing. The greater the lie, the greater the healing.
If you feel you are being lied to, or something is hidden from you, this meditation will help guide you in the right direction.
This is not only a practice in knowing when we are being lied to, but a practice in self-trust. Trusting oneself is a gift and boost of confidence to build the life you want.

Before we gather for the holidays, it is good to have some powerful self-care. Taking time out to be there for you and your needs keeps you on track to bring in some joy before this year ends.
This short meditation may help release old wounds that still hold some emotion that is no longer needed. Our experiences are stored in our cellular memory long after healing mentally and emotionally. These triggers can come up cyclically, and holidays can be especially difficult. Even if you have been healing and clearing your mental and emotional bodies, old wounds can feel fresh during this time if the body has not yet released them.
Settle in and allow your body to release what is already healed. Get comfortable, set aside about 20 minutes, and have a listen.
Even if you are unable to follow along for every second of this mediation, you will get the benefit of it. You are welcome to do this more than once since it is meant to be repeated as you feel necessary.
This mediation is spirit inspired and created with my guide. If you would like to learn more about connecting with spirit for your inspiration, teaching, writing, healing, and improving your life, please check out my new class starting on January 3, 2021! The Powerful Art of Channeling

Trusting Spirit
The guidance of Spirit may assist the everyday aspects of life. There is a lot of misunderstanding about what that means. It is living in faith. Living in faith is a discipline that requires being mindful of aligning to Spirit and allowing this power to guide life every day. I’m not always great at it, but I can manage to trust in the guidance of my teacher in the Spirit realm most of the time.
Spiritual wisdom has been actively guiding me for years. Knowing how to differentiate between Spirit and my ego has taken time, patience, an acute awareness of my thoughts, and understanding of my feelings. I also must be proactive in defining and redefining intentions as they shift to keep on my path and work with Spirit.
Being in faith goes against everything the ego tells me and wants me to believe.
The ego says things are scary and fearful. The ego says what I do is not practical. The ego says I’m delusional for trusting my invisible friends. The ego says not to trust Spirit with my life, livelihood, health, money, relationships, and so on.
After practicing having faith in my Spirit Guides for decades, I have found that the ego is always wrong, and Spirit is always right. To work with Spirit, you must let go of your beliefs, expectations, and prejudices for answers uninfluenced by ego. Understanding when Spirit is responding or when it is ego telling you what to do, and then being confident in knowing that difference is a level of mastery that is achieved through diligence, time, and awareness. I have built trust in a higher consciousness through that mastery that cannot be defined or even proven to exist.
My teachers in Spirit tell me many things about our current events, and I wish to share my process of having faith through the pandemic and about feeling protected.
How Spirit Protects
Let’s start with feeling protected. I have worked on feeling free of fear for the past years as I have worked with Spirit. I have absolute and total trust they protect me from harm. It has taken ages to get here, and I have done a lot of work with Spirit to build that level of absolute trust.
But it is not magic that I am protected. Protection is a mutual agreement.
Spirit may only help the person who gives them their complete trust and absolute faith that help from Spirit is possible. We must give Spirit the power to help us first by asking, then surrendering all worry over not being protected.
If you feel fear, you are not allowing Spirit to protect you. If you feel worried, you are not giving Spirit power to help you. If you doubt that Spirit can help you, then they cannot help you at all. To get over this, you can always check into your feelings and ask Spirit to help you trust them to protect you.
As I said, this is a co-creative and cooperative agreement, so if you have trouble trusting them, ask them for help to trust them. Then keep asking for help, protection, or anything else you like while also asking for help building faith and trusting them.
Aside from your request for their protection and your trust that they can help you, you must put in a little practical effort yourself. Because if you are not willing to do everything to protect yourself, how can you expect another (even God) to be more interested in your well-being than you are?
Doing your part tells the Universe that you want to be protected and are willing to do all it takes on your end to be protected. If you aren’t serious about looking out for yourself, neither is Spirit; this is an aspect of the Law of Reflection.
For example, I know I will not get in an accident, but I do wear seatbelts. If I don’t wear a seatbelt because I think Spirit will protect me, then Spirit cannot protect me. For them to protect me - when I will not - would be against the Law of Reflection and the Law of Non-Interference.
These universal and sacred laws govern how the higher powers interact with us and are a lifetime study. Although, this piece is not about the Sacred and Universal Laws, for now, know that Spirit must follow those laws.
It is not a good idea to jump out of an airplane without a parachute and expect Spirit to save you for the reasons above. No matter how much faith you think you have, they cannot save you because you are unwilling to save yourself by using a parachute. They will not save you if you have no regard for your safety. Do not test their power and your faith by doing dangerous things. Spirit will not pass the test or even try to.
Spirit will not save you from yourself.
Expecting Spirit to save you is victimhood, not faith. Relinquishing all responsibility for your actions is victimhood, and Spirit supports our empowerment. They ask us to be responsible for our actions.
There is a misconception that those taking precautions in the pandemic are living in fear. They are not. They recognize danger and are awake to their responsibility of protection - this is a spiritual way of being.
Everything Serves a Purpose
On a spiritual level, to understand why we had a tragedy or why we have hardships, we look not at the event itself to see why it happened but look to the aftermath to see how it changed us. Getting perspective on the benefits of a tragic event helps us to know that there is a purpose working on our behalf in our life. If we can never see the benefit of a difficult event, we reject an opportunity for growth and risk repeating it.
When global events occur, it works on the collective conscious level just the same as on a personal level. This tough time has given us an opportunity to evolve through shared experience across borders, races, cultures, and ideologies.
The pandemic guidelines and precautions require us to be mindful of our surroundings and the other people in our space, be responsible for caring for ourselves and be compassionate and respectful towards others. We don’t all need to grow from this for humanity to benefit. Just a small percentage of us is enough for our collective to evolve and not need to repeat this experience with another pandemic or global disaster.
Our collective human experience can create an awakening that blesses all the world because of how we respond to this time. No hardship comes without a gift. Some in the spiritual world insist that a sinister force is creating ways to control the population through the pandemic.
From a spiritual perspective, no one can control another, least of all an awakened spiritual person. The Earth is the realm ruled by the Law of Free Will, and if you are a spiritually awake being, you can release the fear of covert manipulation. You cannot say you have power over your reality and also believe you are controlled. Conspiracy theories are not for those who sincerely look to Spirit to walk a spiritual path. Let go of the idea of sinister forces, so you have the freedom to grow and live to your full potential.
Compassion is the Way of the Future
As we wait for all the ways we will benefit from this experience on a global level to be understood, we can be sure of one benefit. With each tragic and traumatic event, we always have the opportunity to awaken compassion.
I think of compassion as holding someone’s hand and walking through the tough times together. We are all on this journey and are experiencing life through this time no matter where we are on Earth. If you can imagine holding your hand out to another without judgment, you have the gift of compassion.
Our consciousness is evolving. We are growing to an elevated state of being. We are becoming advanced through our heart’s awakening, our spiritual connection, and our soul’s remembrance. The first step on this path to advancement is compassion.
The first gift is compassion. Let us take it with gratitude.

When we manifest we can use either the power of Spirit or the power of the Universe. Although it seems that it wouldn’t matter since, in essence, we are tapping into a power greater than our own, it does change how things manifest in our lives and whether or not we will get what we want.
The universe is the consciousness of the physical world on a quest to experience all the potentials of existence in every way possible. The Universe experiences everything through the perceptions of life (i.e. you).
Spirit is helping you reach your potential and is helping guide you through life. Spirit does help manifest but will focus on helping you manifest what is in your highest good to manifest.
Listen in to hear the details of the wonderful dynamic between the Universe and Spirit!

Most people learn Tarot by reading the interpretations, pulling daily cards, and doing readings for themselves and others. Tarot is an oracle that will help us know the future. To use it we need to have some experience in how it will work for us, what the symbols, numbers and colors mean to us, how to ask questions and how to get the depths of each card’s wisdom. Using the Tarot for other things than predictions helps us feel comfortable with it so we can be a better predictor of the future.
Aside from predicting, there is a way to dig deep into this symbolic language; a way that is not only insightful but fun!
Let us play with the Tarot in an upside-down fun kind of way.
We will start by using a phrase or a quote and pulling a card on it. Think of a random quote, motto or common saying and, when you pull a card, it will help you not just get more insight into the reference, but help you define the Tarot card. This way you are asking the cards to define what you say. Where most people pick a card and try to figure out the definition.
This is about having a conversation with your inner wisdom through the medium of the Tarot. With this practice, you discover what your soul means when it shows you the Ace of Cups or the High Priestess. Tarot is a dynamic oracle exquisitely designed for unique interpretation, and using this technique helps you to understand the hidden process of the unconscious.
Let’s start with a common saying and asking what the tarot says about “a penny saved is a penny earned”.
As you mix up the deck, silently focus on the question and repeat it in your mind phrasing it like: What card represents the energy of “a penny saved is a penny earned”?
I got the Temperance card. For me, that is the Tarot’s interpretation of that phrase. It strikes me as being mindful and careful with my actions and keeping my extremes in check.
You can do this on any phrase but let us try another more complex quote and see what that might be.
“Those who dare to fail miserably can achieve greatly.”–JFK
Let’s look at the energy of that quote or how Tarot would represent it to me. I ask as I mix up the cards: “What card represents the energy of the quote ‘those who dare to fail miserably can achieve greatly’?”
The Devil card. It may show me that failure and achievement are a trick of the mind. How we perceive them to be is what they are. In the card two people are being controlled by the devil. If you are the one in control or the one being controlled is all about perception. Achievement and failure are the same energy from different viewpoints. This is a complex concept not easily described with one card, but I think Tarot gave me the perfect card to describe this quote.
Choose your own quote to see how Tarot interprets it or use the above quotes and see the cards you get. You will not get the same cards as I did for the same question because Tarot is a secret language that you and your soul share. The soul speaks through images and when you use Tarot, you are asking your soul, or unconscious self, to communicate with your conscious mind. The soul will pick a card that will be unique to its language and how your mind interprets that language. This is why it is such a dynamic tool. It also makes it difficult to use books or other people to determine the meanings of the cards for you. But using these techniques creates a dialogue between your conscious and unconscious and teaches the mind to awaken to the inner self. This is a powerful practice.
Lately, I have been posting messages and photos of cards on social media. One might think the message is an interpretation of the card, but what I am doing is getting a message from Spirit then asking the Tarot to give me a card that represents that message. So, the Tarot card pictured is the interpretation of the message and not the message being an interpretation of the card.
Let me give you an example. I ask my guides for insight that helps me for today. I sit quietly and wait. They say: “When we have accepted and learned from the pains of the past, we are ready to grow through a different way, through the way of love.” Now I can see that our “lessons” no longer need be painful but joyful and loving. But to show you this practice, I will focus on only the quote, and not my first impression of it, as I ask the Tarot.
I mix up the cards I ask: “What card represents the energy of the message: ‘When we have accepted and learned from the pains of the past, we are ready to grow through a different way, through the way of love.’?”
The Tarot answers: 8 of Swords. In relation to the quote, my first insight from this card is we must integrate the wisdom from what we have found painful and harmful to be free to make our way to the promise of the castle on the hill.
If you are connected with your guides, you might try this too. Sit in meditation and ask questions or for inspiration. Once it comes through pull a card on it and look how it is reflected in the card. It will not only be more fun than trying to figure out the meaning of the card, but it will help you get even more depth out of the message.
I welcome your insights, comments or questions about your practice with this. But mostly I hope you have fun with it. Spirit loves to connect, and Tarot is a gateway to the mysterious workings of the self. Having a conversation with the friend you never knew you had, your soul, is the most fun there is.

Knowing Spirit can do anything is difficult to believe until you see it for yourself. This audio presents ways to work with Spirit to help you see just how much they can do for you in their quiet and subtle ways.
Asking for everything of Spirit while trusting them to help you and knowing that they can help you starts by asking for small things. Our doubtful minds make the task of helping us exceedingly tricky for Spirit to deliver on the big stuff.
We must first convince ourselves that they are active and real in our lives. We must experience their presence in our lives in very tangible ways repeatedly to believe that there are invisible beings willing always to help us.
Starting small with our asking for help brings the mind on board with the concept. Doing this practice daily will also have the extraordinary benefit of making your life easy and simple daily living feel a bit magical.
Please comment if you have questions or would like to share your experiences with this technique.

This simple meditation is for very beginners or even advanced channels who want to get quick and easy answers from Spirit Guides.
Once you have done this meditation, you can get an answer from your guides in any situation. We all always have telepathic communication with Spirit, and with this technique, they can signal you at any time of day, even when you are not in meditation.
The simple mediation in this audio is created for your guides to show you how they want to communicate. Once you know their signal, you can get that feeling when you are going about your day to day life. During the above audio meditation, they will be choosing the feeling you will be getting.
A feeling sensation is the most affirmative way to communicate with your guides since it is difficult (if not impossible) to create a physical sensation just by thinking about it. It is hard to make your body feel tingles, chills, or pressure, so there is little room for doubt that they are there supporting you and offering their guidance.
Alternatively, your guides may choose an emotional feeling. With this signal, it may be difficult to notice, but if they give an emotional feeling in your heart center, then they are working with you in a way that will require a bit more attention and awareness to their message.
If you don’t like the answer you get from Spirit during the mediation, feel free to ask them to change it. If it is too subtle, ask them to make it stronger. Remember that it is against Sacred Law for them to make you afraid, so they might be a bit shy at first. If the energy you get does make you afraid, then it is NOT your Spirit Guide. I recommend you end the connection and evaluate your intentions to be sincerely interested in connecting for your highest good.
This technique is one of the simplest ways to begin your relationship with Spirit. Use it often and keep asking questions! Spirit Guides are here to help you, but they cannot help you if you don’t ask. The best thing you can do for Spirit is to ask for their help. Keep them very busy and see how your life will change!

I decided to try out doing audio recordings of the articles I write. It is not polished but I would like to know if this is good for those on this list, or, not so much needed.
This is an experiment, and I would love your feedback! All criticism welcome with gratitude.
Thank you!
