    An excerpt from a healer who is uncomfortable taking money for spiritual work, dated 7/12/14.

    Does money give you pleasure? Understand that the pleasure you offer and the pleasure you receive are synonymous.

    And know too that the feeling that you shouldn’t ask for money for spiritual work is an old religious belief, passed down through lifetimes, that it’s not God-like to accept money. However, certainly money is God-related when we need it and we have to have to spend – but also that you’re exchanging energy and the way that people exchange on this planet is with money right now.

    So the word barter is coming up. You can think about it as a barter. Bartering is a trade. Certainly if you don’t want to exchange money, they’re saying please make a trade: “My energy for your energy,” something where you receive something back for the energy you offer.

    Think about that as just the universal rule, like a physics rule. There is a cause and effect of everything. When something is done, something else happens as the result. When you give off energy, you receive something back. This is just the way it works physically on the planet. So please understand that it’s best for you to exchange something for the healing work. So if you don’t want to take money — and it is fine to take money as an equal exchange — you can decide how much it is worth to you and receive the money for that exchange — or if you are really uncomfortable with that, barter for something else.

  • Judgment

    Excerpt dated 7/12/14

    God watches us with love, and the angels care about us and know how hard we’re working and understand when we feel limited and they have no judgment at all. Nothing.
    They just want to wrap themselves around us and help us remember that this is only as hard as we make it – and one of the ways we make it hard is by thinking we’re not good enough, doing enough, pleasing enough, that we have to feel ashamed of ourselves, guilty or judged – or that we judge ourselves.

    That is a darkness that descends over us, that is a recipe for illness, it is heavy energy and it’s stress. It’s an internal stress that we don’t even recognize we carry because we carry it so often and for so long. It is unfathomable how much lack of judgment there is. We don’t even – we can’t conceive of it being gone, but it’s not a fifth, or sixth, or seventh, or eighth or ninth dimension reality. Judgment just isn’t part of that reality, its part of this reality.

    Our minds can kind of get it, but conceptually it’s hard to believe or to even feel it. Pets do it a little bit better. You can see with the animals outside. They never ask why or judge a situation and take it for face value and respond. There is no bird out there that feels less than any other bird… a squirrel that doesn’t think he can gather nuts as well as another squirrel. It doesn’t exist.

  • Mental/Emotional Health

    A message for Randi Botnick, dated 4/10/14

    And we speak to you today of the light. (And here I see piano keys, laid out on the floor). Each one is a different note, each one is a different vibration of light and truth. For light is synonymous with truth and as we breathe and learn to breathe in more and more of the light, brightening and sharpening our heart chakras we are more connected to the truth.

    We come from the truth. It is a basic cellular structure of who we are, like a bodily system that is ill and disease ridden. We have much in the way of lower vibrations, darker, of untruths that block our sight. And as we rise in vibration we cleanse, much cleansing is emotional. Some cleansing is physical. Bodies are now ready to dispel untruths and return those energies to the light. This results in anxiety, depression, vibrations, illness, anger, rage, frustration (and I see a woman pulling her hair out).
    As we know more and more, as we learn to see these “mental illnesses” for what they are, the needs to purge the darkness out, we may take seriously this task of releasing our burdens, belief systems, pain and wounds, and healing, coming back into a place that is newly lighted.

    As above so below, as we see your earth purging her pain, cleansing herself, shaking and shivering her vibrations out, rebirthing herself, into a more light-filled being over time. You in the body must do the same, your bodies are ready. We feel the sense of tension and the feeling that you’re ready to burst. It is the most uncomfortable feeling for you and your society doesn’t have the construct for what is happening.

    That we speak to you during the springtime is no accident. It is a time when energies are trying to burst forth out of your skin, so to speak, out of your mind, out of your breath. Understand that this kind of healing, healing, healing. It is well advised for you to move forward with this task at hand, minus the medication, minus the mental health diagnoses, and allow yourself to grow and expand.
