Plus Mini Messages!

Greetings!!

I hope everyone had an amazing Halloween! Just because we are now in November does not mean that you still can’t bask in the ENERGY of the season. Most people don’t realize this, but when we say we LOVE the holidays, what are we really saying? You are saying that you love FEELING the energy of the season!! Sometimes, it’s not WHAT we do, but how we EXPERIENCE the season that really counts. Now, as we move into the Thanksgiving, it’s a time to really CHERISH what you have and the word of the month is CONSOLIDATE. At this time, it is really crucial that your focus be strong in attaining both your financial, professional and creative goals. So, it’s imperative that you “trim the fat” so to speak and focus your energy materially. This is not a de-cluttering energy to make room for the new, but rather a consolidating of all that is unnecessary at this time, so you could ACHIEVE your goals and move through any delays that may be presented. This is a time of tailoring, so if you are someone that is “all over the place”, I am urging you to pick one aspect your life and make some clear choices. It is only through the intention of focus that you will see a clear line toward your goals.

It is much easier to begin on the material plane, and then work on the ethereal planes, especially if you are really scattered. This will help you differentiate what you TRULY want, from what you just want to have (for the sake of having it). As you go through your life, ask yourself, are you using it? Do you need it? Is it in your current vibration? It is serving you, or are you keeping these aspects of your life “on the shelf” for those just in case future moments? If you have to pause and wonder how you feel, it is time to let it go.

Do this with your clothing, extraneous household items. the things that no longer fit you, credit cards, papers, even energetic part time ways of making money that you continue to hold on to. It’s time now to KNOW without a shadow of a doubt what you are meant to do, and put ALL YOUR ENERGY toward it, no matter what. I had a client today who inquired how to get past fears to move forward. I heard a great piece of insight a while back, which I relayed to him which seemed to click right away. He loved it! I relayed to him the advice, “Feel the fear and do it anyway!”. Sometimes, it’s minimal phrases like this that have the greatest impact.

Some people WAIT and put their lives on hold and won’t spring into action because they are FEELING FEAR AND/OR ANXIETY. If you try to wait until it is gone, you will be waiting a long time. Some of your greatest strides will be made when you are the most fearful because you are taking the next step up, which to you is unknown territory. Why does the unknown always have to be looked at through the lens of fear? What if the unknown was a wonderful place, filled with everything that you have been dreaming of? You must have FAITH! Think of Indiana Jones, when he had to step out into the fog, not knowing if there would be anything there to stabilize him. If you wait until you see a clear line from point A-B, if you wait to take that risk fearing what you may lose, you may be wasting precious time. Aren’t you already looking for something new? Go for it and take a chance!

Make this month be a month of staying close to those people, places and support systems that fill you with positivity and love!! This will allow the encouragement which will help you soar to meet your dreams!

And now on to the mini messages!

All my best for a wonderful holiday season,

Marisa

Mini Messages For November 2011. Please note that I do not take requests for messages, nor are they aimed at specific people. I channel these in the moment of writing them, so I’m hoping they reach who they are for! Remember sometimes you may have to be a “messenger” yourself, and forward this to the person who it may be for! I’ve seen this happen many times, and the person will be extremely grateful!

Arnold or Arnie is coming through and he is mentioning the name George (which may in a strange way be a NICKNAME and not the given name George). He is mentioning his stone and how he is happy about the new engraving. He is hoping that someone is still wearing the necklace as it is very powerful for protection. He is saying that his feet really bothered him in life and he may have had to cut his shoes open, or they may have had to be cut. He wants his daughter living to watch out for mold in her apartment. This is a must!!

Sal or Sally. There is also a Robert or Bob connection here. He is mentioning something about tennis or tennis shows and citrus (orange flavored) ice pops in the summer. I believe this is someone’s husband who may be reading right now. He is mentioning the gold earrings he got you that he now knows you didn’t like!! He says he’s ok with that. He wants you to know that he heard you asking for a message and that’s YES he is ok and happy, but that you need a new set of dishrags, they are getting disgusting. He has a wonderful goofy sense of humor and an amazing smile. He said he loves he teeth and calls himself quite good looking.

Ryan. He is mentioning something about Halloween and laughing about it. He is also mentioning the name Grey, Grace, or the color Gray. This is a bit confusing. Not sure what he means here. He is also mentioning the name Harry or Harold and someone that passed of a lung related issue that is with him. He is mentioning the law or a law office, and some changes that will definitely be made into the New Year this year. He is saying to hang tight, and work through it, but don’t kill each other in the process! He is saying that you are all stubborn. Someone there needs further education, or is thinking about going back to school. He is saying to DO IT and is mentioning a part time residence in NYC. He is also mentioning Ali or Allison. Tell her to stop acting crazy and not worry about so much. Something also about a new puppy this year. Watch out for an ear or sinus issue. Get some rest.

Taylor or Trainor. It’s better to get back to your exercise regiment. Haha. Trainor/Trainer. Weird. Anyway, yeah I’m getting to message that something big needs to be accomplished with a plan for fitness and you now have the connections you need to do this. You also need a business plan, and the money will come. Something was also prevalent in your life in 2005, and you need to look back at that for your future plan. There will be a wedding in 2012 that those on the other side are very excited about.

Max the dog is with Buffy/Fluffy/Duff on the other side and is very happy with the relatives who are over there. There is a red collar that is significant and an alien stuffed animal that the dog loved!! There is also the name Buddy that is coming through. I also see a chicken!!! Someone may have owned a ranch or a farm with horses on property as well. I am getting the name Liv or Libby or Olivia.

Bandit is coming through and he is ok! He is with your relatives and they are telling me of your need for another dog like him in your life. He also says you really need a vacation and a better haircut. You are very stressed and could benefit from being around water/the shore or perhaps Palm Trees!!! The answer to your question involves oranges and vitamin C.

Lori. I am getting this name and also an emerald stone that is very important to the family. This is an antique piece of jewelry which must be put in a safe place. I am also getting the name George here as well, and again Libby!! Maybe this is an extension of the message above. The name Gary is also coming through. I hear the song “heaven” which is significant. This person was also a big Bon Jovi Fan!

Hope you enjoyed the messages and see some of you soon at one of our events!!

I normally write an inspirational message every month, and don’t blog much, but I feel I have been in the midst of learning some very important life lessons lately. These last few weeks have been trying, both personally and professionally, and it’s easy to let challenges block progress. Fear sets in and after fighting it all, you can feel like a beaten down dog. It takes a lot of energy to fight for what you believe in especially when challenges in all sectors of life come at you at once, to give all your energy to situations only to be fighting thin air.

You realize that you must fight the GOOD FIGHT, in which those around you are in sync with the same goals, and you have those BESIDE YOU instead of AGAINST YOU. Through all of this, through all of the endings, challenges, and apparent strife, I’ve learned that the essence of the warrior spirit is to hold true to YOU and to the connection of the true power, the power of the ultimate source of abundance and energy, the source of the spirit, both within and to the universe.

I find sometimes when I get upset, give away my energy, get upset when things don’t go my way, I am the one ultimately suffering needlessly, when truly my energy could be put to good use elsewhere. When I remain in tune with my truth, who I am, and what is line with my own path, I can remain AT PEACE and intact with my own power and reserve my energy for where it is needed. Retaining the spirit within is true power. It doesn’t matter what goes on around you, true peace is activated when we CEASE fighting for a means to an end, for a solution that we want to see. Basically when we are fighting for WHAT WE WANT, it is usually not WHAT WE GET.  Remaining in peace…without manipulation, without expectations, without words, can bring about more than what we THINK WE WANT. Perhaps there are better things on the horizon, just a minute away from when we were about to quit trying. I believe in miracles.

It takes a lot to make me tired, and I didn’t find these lessons by just wanting to take a different route, but by ultimately becoming tired, with no more mental energy left to try to control those things I can’t. Worry, anxiety and ultimately fear can motivate that fight, but ultimately leads to more of the same. What is in MY MIRROR? Where is my fight motivated? By fear period. And fear ultimately serves no purpose to my true nature, my connection to spirit and my connection to the universe.

I ultimately must trust that if I stay in line with my truth 100% that I cannot waiver and I must fight to preserve what I believe in. If it is love, so be it. A creative endeavor, taking risks to bring it to fruition. A loved one passing, believing that they stand by me. And those that I love ultimately and dearly, releasing them to their own paths and taking no responsibilities to their decisions, nor taking them personally.

Actions speak louder than words, and it is through my actions that I “speak” my truth, that I show others what I am about. How I live my life is my expression of reality, not what I say. I am fallible, I am human and I let people down sometimes. But as long as I am continually seeking to better myself spiritually and make amends by altering my actions to show others I care about them, I am growing. Sometimes actions are silent. When I work on myself and become less burdened, the rewards of peace are brought to those who I love. I don’t have to change a thing about them. I have to change me. They will ultimately grow with me, or not.

Some insights about the true warrior:

A true warrior seeks to preserve his/her truth at ALL COSTS. The moment the warrior gives way to fear, the light becomes dim. The warrior must always fight, must always be courageous, must always be honorable, must always be true. But first, he/she must be true and committed to to those virtues within himself. The moment he fights out of fear, ego, anxiety, or power, chaos prevails. It is not the way of the warrior. We all step off our battle lines, but remember if you are a warrior spirit, people will follow your example and be inspired to be greater. Inspiration is magic and is our duty to inspire the warrior in others.

To fight does not mean to struggle. It means to suffer, to be willing to endure pain, to be willing to accept, to be willing to forgive, to be willing to die to the old self and be born into a new life - one that truly matters. Those are the wars, the wars within ourselves. It is easy to have an altercation, to shout at someone else, to have road rage, and to hurt others at our own expense. But ultimately you go home to the same miserable person with the same type of life. When we are in tune with our true power, when we are connected to spirit, to God, we can ultimately be of true service to others. We can then, and only then, truly love another.

Inspirational Message From Medium Marisa Liza Pell

Plus Mini Messages!

Greetings!!

Wow! Lot  of changes from Mother Earth on the East Coast! Symbolic in a way. She is telling us that things ARE CHANGING no matter what. Therefore, we are called to be where we are truly supposed to be at this time. For some of you, this means finding and following your true paths of destiny. You will need to plug in and flow with this path now, or you will probably become very uncomfortable and unsettled.

How does one find their true destiny path? Very simply., what are the hobbies and passions that inspire and energize you? What are some dreams you had when you were a child? There are activities that drain you and others that energize you. Pay attention to those signs. Like a little child in flow with the wonderment of his/her world, what keeps you in joy and what brings you away from it? You may tend to want to over complicate this process by over thinking. Most of you will do this by procrastinating and/or just being plain lazy. Will finding your true path of destiny be easy? YES. It’s already in your heart! All it requires is a little stillness and faith. Another question to ask yourself is: What can you engage in for HOURS at a time and not get bored, or what topics can you discuss at length with enthusiasm and energy? No matter how silly that seems, those are clues to finding the key to your path of destiny.

At this time you are being called into a PATH OF SERVICE. That means that whatever you do or choose to do must serve the greater good.  We need soldiers of spiritual service on the Earth to heighten the vibration. Ultimately, we are all here for a cause, and you will be seeing various signs that are hard to ignore.

Yes, we are all souls with our own soul purpose, but we are also all part of the bigger picture here, and thinking of others right now will be most helpful on this path. However, you can’t give what you haven’t got! So if you’re feeling depleted, drained or in low energy, you MUST GIVE TO YOURSELF. By giving to yourself, you will be better equipped to achieve your purpose. Believe it or not, giving when you have nothing to give is a form of selfish behavior. You are engaging in it at the EXPENSE OF YOURSELF for alternative means (to be liked, loved, or gain something in return (respect, peace, control), you name it, or so that other people don’t think of you in a negative way.

Taking action on your dreams is a little more difficult than KNOWING what you would like to do. Action takes COURAGE and the willingness to move through some discomfort and pain. If you are unwilling to do that, you will not continue to be called as the universe is calling those to action right now. If you are experiencing some strange occurrences, and being asked to release that which no longer serves you, you can be sure you are being called into a path of higher consciousness and awareness. BUT, this isn’t Burger King! You can’t always have it YOUR WAY. Getting to your destined path involves great sacrifice, willingness and faith. It involves being at your best and highest vibration.

Sometimes it is best to see a spiritual advisor, someone of the clergy or a spiritually minded close friend to discuss your path options.  It may be a bit tough to be objective with your own life, especially if you have a lot on your mind. A neutral friend can be helpful in sorting things out for you.

And before I go onto the mini messages, I would just like to quote “Think On These Things.” From Philippians 4:8 , “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.”

All My Best,
Marisa

MINI MESSAGES FOR AUGUST AND SEPTEMBER 2011

John from the other side is here to extend a message to his family. He is mentioning the name Gayle, or Gail (could be in the living) and an Oak Tree. This  could have been his favorite tree in the backyard. He is bringing up the old grill that you haven’t gotten rid of and saying, “For god sakes, GET A NEW DAMN GRILL! It is dirty and cannot possibly be cleaned, plus it won’t even go on half the time and is so old it is even bent over partially.” He is mentioning the number 7. Could be the seventh of the month or July as being significant. He also brings up the name Tom and Dharma (not sure of that sound).

The name Clarke, Clark or last name Clark. There is a medium sized dog coming through , looks like a brown lab. He is healthy and happy on the other side, and is running! I get the sense that he had problems moving around before he passed and he wants his owners to know he is running great! He also loved yellow tennis balls and slobbered all over them. I also get the name Tim or Timmy around him and am seeing an old restored Victorian house with a beautiful wrap around porch. I also see hanging flowers. There is a now an older woman coming through mentioning gardening, DAFFODILS and carnations. She loved hanging flowers and always had her gardening gloves on. Someone may still have these gloves. I am also hearing the name David or Davis.

Sycamore Tree. This is a big time symbol for someone. The number four is significant. Something about floor mats and little circular carpets everyone so that people didn’t “trapez” (they are using that word) dirt all over the hardwood floors. They are mentioning something about restoring an old hardwood floor.

Jason in the living. There is a message for you to get new sneakers for one and dress shoes for an improtant upcoming event. This is your POP speaking and he is appalled by the apparel you boys are wearing now a days. He doesn’t even think you look decent. In fact he is referring to you as a “hoodlum”. He is also mentioning a pocketwatch that is significant and the name MAIDEN.

James or Jim. You are still not listening to the other side. You clearly want to do things YOUR WAY and it keeps looking dim for you. Why don’t you just let people in and stop moving around so much.? You have so much to give someone, and your lady friend is waiting, but she is sad and won’t be waiting forever. You also need to buy new cups or drinking glasses for your house. Get a nice set and throw the other ones away especially the green ones with the cracks and stains in them. Someone on the other side loved their black coffee. This is male and and he is with his wife on the other side who always stained the coffee mug with her red lipstick and she smoked heavily as well. The woman here had jet black short hair and a sarcastic dark humor to match. They are really getting annoyed with your putting aside a wonderful person that they have indeed sent your way. You are el stupido!!!

Trevor. Be careful driving and please do not drive under the influence or with any substance in your system. Beware of pills as well. You are treading a thin line.

Max or Maxine. There are Christmas time images coming in and significant ribbons and bows. Someone had a talent for making the house look just right during the holidays! I hear the name Jasper or Casper, and another Jim or James. Phillip is also coming in and also the name Truie or Trudie or Rudy? (something that sounds like that). I see someone of Asian descent as well mentioning an adoption, or perhaps they were adopted into an Irish family, because I also see a green shamrock. This is a married couple coming through wanting YOU to make the holidays BIG again just like they did. They also want to let you know that someone is getting married soon in the family.

Russ or Russel (Ross). You have a serious foot problem. Seek help for that.

Bruce in the living. There is another Bruce also in the family and the name Mike is coming in. You have some serious financial concerns to consider and also a move looks like it would be a wise option. “Do not overdue or you will remain underdone.” (whatever that phrase means lol). Get back to your cooking and grilling as you really enjoy and take peace in that! You should really be in culinary school!

Linda/Lynne. Stomach issues are coming in that need to be addressed soon, and also be aware of your hand getting injured or your wrist. This is not the time to be stubborn as many people want to help you. Do not let your arrogance push people away. You have too much to lose by appearing as someone who does not express gratitude. Tom is a connection and so is a Henry, Henrietta, or Harry. Someone is laughing at the name Harry, almost like this is not their real name, or someone pretended their name was Harry. Watch when you shave for ingrown hairs. You need a better razor, and nice socks!! Yes, you need socks and shoes for a nice event coming up. There is a stray cat that someone took care of on the other side, and you have a dream about having a house with a nice fireplace one day and a mantle. They are asking in unison, “What is wrong with you, and how can you be so smart but yet so stupid??” You may need a new refrigerator. The number 12 is significant and the number 32. 32 could be March 2 or age 32.

A middle aged man is coming through who had an obsession with John Lennon.  He wants to acknowledge all the things you kept from his collection, especially the poster. He is surprised you have now decided to be open minded about liking John and he is smiling. He mentions the name Ruth or Ruthie and also mentions someone who likes stained glass or does glass art. He is mentioning the name Gene or Gina. I believe he had a motorcycle. I also hear the name Olivia or Olive.

A woman Judy is coming through, but is very quiet. Seems private. She just wanted to let you know that she is making the transition to the other side.

Thank You all for reading the messages and hope to see you sometime this Fall at one of our events! Just remember these messages could be for anyone! Please forward if you think it may be for a friend!

Have a wonderful rest of Summer,
Marisa Liza

June/July 2011 Inspirational Message By
Medium Marisa Liza Pell

Here is the post from the
official Cayce facebook page today:

“First, as may be indicated in that given, the soul should
within itself know its own ideal - and that as the standard should be ever kept
in the forefront of its mental and soul activity. And with the awakening within self that only in putting into
practice that the soul finds is the expression of the ideal in the manifested
form may the hands, the mind, the body, the soul become in harmony with the
activities that become necessary for making the developments that may be gained
through these experiences. 439-2“

Of course this could be
interpreted in a variety of ways, but it’s interesting as it relates to the
current energetic shifts you may be experiencing right now. First, I want to say
that many of you may be feeling a bit (shall we say) “sluggish”. You may want to
move faster, but for some reason you just don’t have your usual energy. Forcing
it seems the only way to get moving, but you may feel completely drained as a
result (and I might add quite moody!!) You may be hard on yourself classifying
the actions as “lazy” or “procrastinating”. And at times you may be. But I can
tell you for sure what you are experiencing now and over the last several weeks
has been a major transitional state. This energy state will cause all of these
feelings to take place. Your body needs to adjust and catch up to the energy as
the vibration heightens within you.

How does this relate to Cayce?
Well, the transition right now is exactly that: experiencing life and reaching
your soul ideal. A knowing within you has come with the result of this
transition. A knowing of what you want, what you enjoy, what makes you happy,
and where your passions and talents are. You would think that if we all had this
information, we would immediately jump on it and move forward. Not necessarily
so. Sometimes knowing intellectually is only half of what you need to do.
Reaching that ideal and holding the bar to those standards that you deserve, as
Cayce indicates, takes ACTION in all areas: the mind, the body and the spirit,
and these ideals on the soul level must match the activities we choose.

So think about it. Make a
ideals list. Some of you might think you are out of the ballpark by thinking
these ideals are accessible. You MUST believe they are possible and that they
will happen! Why wait to pursue your dreams? Take one step a day in the
direction of them and they will become a reality!

Now onto the MINI MESSAGES for
the month! A great time to do the mini messages as it’s raining and the
connection is great for the channel!

Ok here goes:

PAT - It’s time to get a new
suit. You really need to make yourself look your best. You have gained weight
and are trying to fit into your old clothes and they just look very tight. Go to
the Men’s Warehouse and get yourself a nice suit for your business outings. You
will find that you will not have to unbutton your pants after you eat a
buffet.

MARGIE OR MARGI - It’s time to
start that new business you were thinking about. Wedding dresses and a little
boutique!! You’ve already paid your dues. Something about being a teacher is
coming up as well. The name “Uncle Al” is also coming through. He is mentioning
his shoes and how nice they are. He is glad his legs feel better on the other
side and is mentioning someone needing to check their thyroid in the living.

JOSH OR JOHN (or both). You
are barking up the wrong tree buddy! You think you have time to get your life
together, but all your friends are all moving forward and will leave you behind.
Make the best use of the time you have now, and PLEASE go back to school. Even
though you are not into books and studying, you can go to trade school.
Military? Not both.

SAM (on the other side). This
man is coming through a little sad. He misses his dear wife here (calls her his
bride). He loved Elvis and says he still listens to music on the other side.
Someone was named after him in the living. It could even be the name Samantha. I
also get the name Bart in association with him or Bartholomew. He is mentioning
soup crackers. He loved breaking up the crackers in the plastic before putting
them in his soup and he loved clam chowder and seafood! And homemade meatballs!
He is mentioning that it is now time to consider alternate housing for his wife
as she really needs some extra care.

LOUIS OR LOUISE. Be very
conscious of health and that you are taking care of yourself. A vacation is much
needed and a lot of rest. I see orange juice, so you really need a boost for
your immune system as well.

JOSH AGAIN - Are you
listening???

PLAYA or MAYA. Wow, you are
not listening to those around you! You are going on your own instincts and they
are really coming from an emotional place which is not very balanced. You need
new shoes or sneakers that are comfortable because you can have foot problems if
you don’t. Something about your tongue is also coming up. Really??? Dance
music?? When did you stop listening to your top 10 pop songs? The people on the
other side are not recognizing you! Are you recognizing you??? Be yourself!!

MEGAN — Oh nelly! You need a
new job. Stop trying to make this one fit. You are complaining and are clearly
not happy. What’s the DEAL-IO??? Get yourself in a ruffle, stomp in there and
tell them you’re not taking it ANYMORE!!

JIM — Someone on the other
side is saying happy birthday coming up and they are saying that you really need
a shave. He is telling you to order two egg rolls for old times sake. Also,he is
mentioning your new home and congratulating you on it! He is very excited. Also
Eileen is going to be making a BIG purchase. He is clapping on the other side.
Check the tires on your daughter’s car. The front passenger side definitely
needs air before the weekend.

STANLEY (on the other side) He
loved the Glenn Miller band and wants to mention a Laurel, Laura or Lori in the
living. Someone connected to him is in cosmetology or is a hair stylist. They
really should go back to school to learn color. As a result they could be a very
famous colorist! He is mentioning a scar he had around his abdomen from a
surgery. Just wanting to make sure you know it’s him! He misses the apple
orchard or tree and is mentioning a set of keys that someone has of his. Someone
is also very good at basketball (a young male). Happy birthday coming up and he
is also referencing “the boys” or twins.

Hope You Enjoyed
the Messages and Have A Great Weekend!

Best,

Marisa

May 2011 Inspirational Message From Medium Marisa Liza Pell and MINI PERSONAL MESSAGES!

Greetings!

Well well…yes I am VERY late this month with my May newsletter! My apologies for the wait, BUT, MAYBE.. just maybe this is going out at just the right time!

As I am writing this, it is after 2am and the world outside is mostly asleep. I love this energy, because it allows me to process without distraction and where something I have my best creative thoughts and input. So of course I usually don’t know what I’m going to write about UNTIL I start writing, so what the HEY…YEP I guess I’m inspired :)!

To me personal expression is extremely important whether that be through music, art, dance, martial arts or any form of creative self expression. I see people dealing with excess energy lately wondering why they want to jump out of their skin! It seems their thoughts are out of balance because they are thinking too much. We are accustomed to a world of fast paced energy, lightening speed technology and instant gratification, and at no point do we ever think that it’s time to slow down and FLOW, create and enjoy this universe.

First I want to ask, what is the rush? And secondly, I want to ask what are you waiting FOR? Ok, so you may be thinking that those two questions are completely contradictory and they may be in a sense. But in the way it’s presented here, it’s the rushing of the MIND that I’m referring to. The need to figure it all out, to analyze, to process, to control the outside circumstances, to worry, to create inner strife and conflict.

What is the purpose of the RUSH to stay out of the present moment, to be thinking of the future, or to be processing the past? What, in essence, is the RUSH to remain out of the present? This is where your POWER resides, your life force, your creative center, and most importantly your connection to source energy, your higher power or God.

Now onto the second question. What are you waiting FOR? The first question relates to inner conflict, mental process, unbalance and erratic mental energy that is pleading to be honed and focused into your power. The second relates to ACTION processes. What are you waiting FOR is a question I am asking those of you who have reached a sticking point. Procrastination will lend itself to the phrase, “I’ll do this tomorrow, or I’ll do this WHEN..”

I especially understand that it’s most difficult to get into action when the mind is in the way, but the only way out is through. A pioneering concept by Dr. Abraham Low, M.D. in the late 1930’s included such phrases as “Move the muscles and the mind will follow.” He fully believed that mental health can fully be recovered by certain “spotting” techniques and “will training”, and rehabilitated many “revolving door” psychiatric patients who suffered from extreme bouts of anxiety and depression. Through his method of retraining the mind, and what he referred to as essentially spotting and changing the thoughts, he was able to see amazing results.

Here is one such concept: “The Will. Dr. Low maintained that, no matter what stress he or she faces, every human being retains a certain autonomous power of choice. The seal of this choosing faculty is the Will, which lies within a kind of impregnable bastion at the center of each person. Despite appearances, Low maintained, no emotional body can capitulate to stress without secretly choosing to do so. The reason is that no stressful experience is ever wholly real; properly tutored, we can learn to ignore it and go on acting.”

Of course, there are many other factors to consider when looking at this concept, but let’s shift a minute to the feeling of being overwhelmed by work or stress. It is extremely difficult when the mind is racing or obsessing to get into action or even think about completing a task. That just adds to the feeling of being overwhelmed right? Well, according to Low, not necessarily so. He suggests that we “spot” and do things in “part acts” instead of worrying about completing the entire project at once. How many of you decide you want to clean the house and don’t do it because you get overwhelmed by the thought of cleaning the ENTIRE house and not just one room or one drawer, or you want to start exercising but get overwhelmed by the thought of needing to do it perfectly every day for two hours or not at all?

Also, Low stresses the importance of tempermental lingo and how we should stay away from it. Instead of the word “depression” he uses “lowered feelings”. Even the use of the word “overwhelmed” would be termed temperamental lingo. I thought it may be interesting to post some of the “spots” that he suggests to use whenever situations arise in which they are needed. He claims that constant use of these “spots” can eventually retrain the mind to a more emotionally balanced place. One of my favorites is “Feelings are NOT facts.” I hope you will enjoy these and like positive affirmations, they can be used to restore a feeling of balance and harmony to the mind.

• “I can not” means “I care not”.
• All I know is that I don’t know.

Usually I speak in terms of energy and intuition, but sometimes these faculties are a bit clouded when there are other elements of the mind in an imbalanced state. Sometimes it’s wise to look at things objectively and seek practical tools so that the intuitive could be accessed properly and interpreted fairly. As much as it is important to purify the physical body for intuitive development, it is equally as important to train the mental and emotional faculties so that we are able to effectively seek the spiritual growth that we came here to do.

What I have to say today to you is simple: GET OUT OF YOUR OWN WAY! Whatever you are struggling with (and we all seem to be having great internal struggle at this point), move through the mind and just take action, even if it’s just a small step. You may start with a small goal only to realize hours later that you have accomplished much more just by applying the principle of “moving the muscles” and the mind will follow! It really works!!

Now onto the MINI MESSAGES!! Please note that I channel in the moment as the messages come. I do not think about specific family, friends, or clients when writing these, nor can I take “requests” to grant a certain person a message. These work the same way the principles of channeling and mediumship work when getting a reading. The messages are only in the moment. I cannot go back a day or two later and get more information or answer questions via e-mail if the message is for a specific person. Sometimes the messages may benefit more than one reader! I really like to hear that some readers feel they “know” who they might be for and actually forward the e-mail to a friend who isn’t even a newsletter reader. Sometimes things just happen that way

• Frank from the other side wants to mention an Angel or Angela. He also wants to remind someone in the living to maintain the landscaping by his memorial stone! He mentions someone still looking through his old beat up wallet and also mentions a Stanley that is with him on the other side. He had leg problems and possible water and fluid retention that caused a lot of problems. He mentions that he loved writing lists on yellow legal pads and someone still has some of them in their kitchen. He loved his orange juice and his white sugar powdered mini donuts. He also mentions a Celeste in the living that may need some support before or around Sept.  He is saying that a young person living needs to take up singing or go back to singing lessons. This is very important. He loves hearing her sing. Someone living needs a new refrigerator. He also had bad feet and wore corrective or orthopedic shoes! He didn’t like those too much because he loved to dance when he was younger. He also loves his wife very much.
• Someone needs to travel to Frankfort CT for work.
• Marilyn (not sure of the correct spelling of that name) needs to get paperwork in order. Just like my messages above. YOU my dear are EXTREMELY OVERWHELMED (how is THAT for temperamental lingo)?? Financial obligations need tending to as well as overdue bills. Don’t worry, it will all be SETTLED! Just start with getting the old paperwork thrown out.
• Trish or Patricia. Kenny is very happy with the work you are doing, but says you need to take some time to yourself and take a vacation. The family unit is doing a lot better. Kate is ok, stop trying to figure it all out!! He is mentioning music and a guitar and says he is FINALLY smiling and happy. Back to his old self. He wants you to take those embarrassing photos off the refrigerator!
• Olivia - This person is still waiting for a message or for her message to be delivered. A woman on the other side is proud of the new baby that just came into the family. There is a Doria or Doris connection here and an Audra or y.
• Sasha the dog is here to say hi to her owner! She is with grandma on the other side, along with the bird that she ate!!
• Buddy or Bubby is here — OH WAIT! Buddy AND Bubby are both here!! Bubby has a bug tummy and she LOVED to cook her special pork on Sundays and her meatballs. I could smell the sauce now!! She said her secret ingredient is a splash of OJ! Who knew??
• Trixie ( I believe this is an animal too)  is here to say hi!
• Uncle Larry is here from the other side mentioning a Tim or Tommy or both. He had a pretty bad limp or a foot problem (I believe it was the left foot) and blood sugar issues. Someone is very susceptible to hard drug use.. I see syringes (this could also signify insulin as well) but he is warning of someone living going down hill pretty fast ( a female). He is very concerned for her health. There is a Marie or Mary connection to the family. This person also needs to be careful of passing out with a cigarette or leaving a stove on, which could result in major problems. There was also a friend of his named Randy that he is mentioning. Also there is someone who is military with him and/or had a military connection. He loves a good game of cards and still has his think bifocals on!!
• Sampson the dog is here to say hi!
• The name Russel or Rush is coming through and I believe this is a living person. There may be some major difficulties arising with the family as whole and counseling or some sort of objective outside help is necessary to rehabilitate and/ or keep the family together. Someone here likes dried pineapple rings.
• Rudy or Rudolph. Your dad on the other side is very proud of you. There is a V name connection, but he says you need to invest in some new ties for work, and it’s time for a haircut (or you may just have had it cut). Keep those shoes shined! Image is everything he says. Also he is mentioning an old heirloom or timepiece that you may have, and also a burnt orange hat. Someone in the family loves cheerios but needs to vary or eat a healthier breakfast. Take care of mom. She needs you and he really likes you car. Be careful you don’t get your suit dirty!! Take it to the cleaners! Also you need professional socks. You are low and please don’t wear two different ones if you can’t find the match, even if to you they look VERY similar. Someone will notice! This man is VERY well groomed and stresses the importance of well manicured nails LOL.
• Lucius or Lucy is here from the other side to say hello to their daughter who is living and going through emotional or marital difficulties. Your parents on the other side are behind you all the way and are supporting you through this every step of the way. You are not alone!! Be strong and do what you know it right. The rest will take care of itself. It’s time for you to make a change with your hair!! Whoever is here liked scratch off tickets and says you will have good luck in the next 3 months!! Pretty cool! There is a Robert or Ross connection here.
• Dad wants to say hello to Tom in the living. He has a nice mustache and shares the same positive personality as his son!! He is very proud! Something about the liver. Make sure you are eating healthy and not drinking too much!!

Well, that’s all for today folks! Hope you enjoyed the monthly message and of course the June one won’t be too far behind!

All my best!

There is much speculation regarding the “SUPERMOON” of March 19th heralding all sorts of Earth’s changes, and some scientists thinking it “not so good”. However, I have my own thoughts on a more metaphysical level which I will post below:

On the eve of March 19th, the beauty and splendor of the moon was enough to mystify, but what are it’s supernatural qualities? Of course the intensity cannot be argued. Of course this is just my sense. Just another side of the coin Taking it from the planetary level, back to the human level — and even though we are spiritual beings having a human experience and the collective consciousness is beyond our separate identities, it still affects us on our spiritual pathways (which at this point in time we must address SEPARATELY for the ultimate goal of coming together to make the necessary changes we need to make as whole. I don’t like any language that could be construed in any non-constructive way. So I will keep the context neutral in a sense that this moon heralds a “call to action” on our parts to shed the parts of ourselves that no longer serve the greater good — because in a sense it IS telling us that changes ARE coming and we need to be at our highest frequency to be ready for these changes. It is a foreshadowing so to speak of what is to come and what can be if we as individuals don’t take part in the collective — lets take a deeper look at what YOU can do, because each of us on a soul level has a responsibility (especially now) to progress spiritually so that we can do what we came here to do….

So I will break it down a little further. In the past few years we have seen a lot of “unearthing” with our personal lives. Specifically this past year, a lot has fallen away. Relationships coming to a close, those crossing over to the other side, mother nature asserting herself, major job changes, relocations and the like.

Either we will choose to accept “the bandaid being ripped off” for something better or we will choose to stay within the wheel of our own patterns. Not making a choice is the same as choosing that things will always remain the same. We must make difficult choices at this time and be willing to sacrifice those things in life which no longer serve us — not so much for OURSELVES and our own instincts by in the spirit of service and for the greater good.

All choices that we make at this point either run along the lines of spiritual progression or spiritual destruction (at it’s baseline). Our planet is letting us know that we MUST start to make soul choices that are in line with spiritual progress, NOT material progress and NOT technological progress. As a human race, we have lost our magic, our spirit, and the passion for our spiritual natures. We cannot stay on the neutral fence for too long for the world and all the lessons we are supposed to learn will pass us by. Sitting idle on spiritual progress will only be like a movie in fast forward. The only constant is that you will remain the same and watch as you grow older.

At this moment, the moon presenting herself in the way she did signals a path for us of ILLUMINATION. It is so important that you see where YOU shine brightly, and to seek your mission. This is a time for clarity to find out WHO YOU REALLY ARE. Do not stay stuck in who you are NOT. FEAR of the unknown can keep us at times in limbo, but it is so much more exciting to take risks spiritually to see the rewards you will reap and to see where the road takes you.

If there is one aspect that I need to emphasize, it is that you be aware of your comfort zones and make efforts to stay OUT of them, especially if you would like to be where you need to be this year. This is not a time to ruminate or get stuck in the past. The light of this specific moon has cleansed the past and is showing us that we are on a new mission — a mission for peace, love and harmony.

How can we do that if we are in negative patterns, lacking in self care, making decisions based on self, and running on lower energy instincts? Self Will will always block us because we want to remain comfortable — being uncomfortable is just too much to handle — so we would rather not take that leap at times for fear of the DISCOMFORT. SUCK IT UP! Be a little uncomfortable for the time being — it is only for your highest good. Besides you won’t be able to meet like minded spiritual people on the journey without climbing the WHOLE mountain. So don’t turn around because the climb is a little tough. It’s SUPPOSED to be. What is hard worked for is EARNED — and therefore cherished. Spiritual progress is NOT easy, but it is simple. Simple in the sense that it involves doing the right thing. When you act out of your highest good, the universe rewards you, because in essence your actions carry through to others and are connected to the universe as a whole.

Do you realize that by the end of the day YOUR BAD MOOD could affect a stadium full of people? I know it’s hard to believe but it’s true. In the same sense, a SMILE could have the same positive effect. Are we in for a LOT of changes on this planet — YES. Is it possible for us to make a change for the better? Absolutely. This is where free will comes in. We can choose to start the day over at any time. It IS POSSIBLE to make decisions for our highest good in an instant. Which reminds me of “The Road Not Taken” By Robert Frost:

Greetings!

Welcome to the energy I have been telling you about! Are all your ducks in a row? Even if they aren’t, you have to be ready because new opportunities are coming in quick and you need to “jump on that train and leave the station” as my good friend Jim always says.

There is no time to waste! I always tell you to clear your energy, but now it’s time to CLEAR completely. If you are holding onto anything from your past, it’s time to let it go. This is true for all items, paperwork, old books, and any excesses that may be cluttering your home right now.

I should know!! I am not the most organized gal, however with the energies going this fast this month, you will need some organization to keep you centered and to keep you grounded. If your mind is racing it’s because you’re being catapulted into a new energy before you even THINK you’re ready. But there is no time to think, it’s time to take some risks and ACT.

Also, you may see that your intuitive skills may be extremely heightened this month due to some peak energies. Some of you that have not experienced anything out of the ordinary in the past will be shocked to find out that you are indeed tapping in to some force that is pretty magical. Those with intuitive abilities will be taking it to the next level, and groups will form for support of these gifts. You will find that now is the time that you will know who your true friends. These “Earthly Guides” will be sticking with you through the next universal transition. I know this is some heavy stuff, but the vibration of the universe as a whole is shifting to a new energy. I know some of you can feel it! It is important that you be around those of your highest good at this time.

DREAM BIG this month, and TAKE ACTION on those dreams. If opportunities present themselves, dive in — as anything you do will prove to be on your path of your highest good. Make sure your decisions align with the right frequency. Before you act on something, always “tune in” and try it on. See how it feels. If you feel a warm good feeling and your body feels relaxed.. go with it. If you feel any strange sensations, doubts or your body is tense, delay that action. Be sure that you don’t mistake doubt for panic! Sometimes we get nervous to act suddenly and want to make sure we are making the right decisions before doing so. You may THINK you need to wait until the “bridge” becomes clear. Think again. The lantern will only light the way and you will have to act on faith a lot this month! What a great exercise for you!

A few questions: What was your dream as a little kid? Are you passionate about your life? Is there something you always wanted to do, or a place you always wanted to visit? Make those plans now, as the universe will take care of the necessities.

Live purely in the moment and enjoy life! Now onto the monthly mini messages! Hope there is one for you!

STEVEN (other side) - I am unsettled about my passing. I am trying to get a message to a family member who is like a brother to me. He is very depressed and is using drugs, specifically cocaine. I had an addiction issue (heroin) and a heart issue. I passed suddenly. I really want to try to help. There is also a Mike connection to this person and a Sam. Someone is wearing a broken watch that needs to be fixed. I had VERY SMELLY socks!

Laurie — Someone passed of breast cancer in the family. There is a Ron or Don connection and this woman is happy about the memorial and loves the song “On Angel’s Wings”. Someone recently wrote or read a poem that reminded them of her. She is also mentioning the teddy bear they still have. I believe she has a daughter living.

Ralphie — Something with the word “Cantor” or “Cantonese” — not sure. This man cracks a smile and his smile is cockeyed. He was quite the character. He loved fishing and had a hat with a fishing license. He passed of heart related trauma and kidney issues. He still has a father figure living who he wants to say he’s sorry to. At one point he stole money from family members.

Shawn (living) — You are getting a bit lazy! Stop with the internet sending of resumes. It’s time for you to go back to school and finally get into the trade you would like to do. Driving trucks is not for you. There is a girl is your life that is right for you, and you are screwing  it up. BAD BAD!! Get yourself together Shawn or she’ll be gone! (hey that rhymes)

Nubie (or Noobie) — Is this a dog or a pet name for someone? Someone on the other side has the dog, who had a hearing problem in life. He also had a weird shaped ear. He had some white on his face. He is with dad, who was not too wise with money. People in the family were not too happy about what happened with his finances since he passed. He regrets he wasn’t able to get his finances in order and he is sorry. He really misses his spaghetti and meatballs.

Sharon (living) — It’s time to step out of your comfort zone. Stop that whining and complaining and meet new friends and people. Life is moving fast and you are moving WAY TOO SLOW. Get a new pair of jeans, you deserve them!

Lance — Oh Boy. Not good here. Be careful of putting money in the wrong hands and dealing with the wrong people!

Shamus — Keep cool buddy. You are coming out of the woods and everything is going to be fine.

Cindy — Do you want to be a mom? If so, it’s time to start trying!! A baby girl is waiting for you!

Gus (other side) — This man had a leg problem in life and was a Vietnam Vet. He misses chopping wood and making fires. He loved bees and may have even made honey. He knows a Margaret.

Paulette — Sign those papers!! Pay attention to the fine print and get that paperwork complete. It’s time to move past this and stop delaying. You must move forward to see what will happen next.

Joe Sr. (other side) Wants to give money to his wife to buy a new sassy coat with the rhinestones that she likes (he likes the dark red cranberry one). He is telling her to splurge. There is also a Dee or Delores that he is mentioning.

Jake — Stop taking any nutritional supplements that increase your heart rate. It is imperative that you have blood work done before you take anything for working out.

Micha/ Michele (with one L) — Those on the other side do not like the BOB HAIR CUT. They hate it actually. If you have been thinking about doing it, DON’T (you will look like a Beatle) and if you have already done it, well then I don’t really know what to tell you LOL.  GROW IT OUT I guess.

Tara — Take things slow and enjoy getting to know your new friend. Like Heinz Ketchup: Good things come to those who wait. Mom likes the bling bling!!

OAT?? — Is there seriously someone named OAT out there? If so, please e-mail me immediately. That was weird.

Amish / Aneesh: Go to the throat specialist and see what’s going on. Your PH is off and you have some issues with acid reflux.

Laura, Laura Laura. This name has been on my mind all week. Who are you???

Blake — Chill out brother!! People are really getting annoyed with you. Let other people take the lead for once.

Joan — You need to get out of your mind and tune into that great intuition you have! You are thinking too negative and it is affecting those around you. Just say, “Enough is enough!” Let go of the resentment and get on with your life.

Mike — Get a goldfish.

Ok that’s all for now!! Hope you have a great March and stay tuned for more messages!

All my best and blessings for the month of March!

Marisa

Greetings!

Keep your head up people! Things are a little (shall we say) SLOW these days, but it won’t last too long. I would recommend taking this time to get your physical space and body cleared of any energy that no longer serves you.

Sometimes, we spend a lot of time worrying, ruminating and projecting into the future and the past, not fully living in the present moment. That could be hard if there is too much “clutter” in the physical realm. I myself, being someone who does this work, tends to reside in the sphere of more mental and emotional processes. And sometimes that could become imbalanced if the thinking and over-analyzing gets out of control.

This is a time to take care of your physical environment and to balance and ground the physical body. Once May hits, things are ready to soar, so get prepared. You are finally ready to release anything that isn’t serving you at this time. Do you hold on to knick knacks, items that are broken, or things that you are keeping “just in case”? Time to either donate, give, sell, or simply take them outside!

This is a great time to get an energy field clearing or healing energy treatment and to open up the centers of the body that are needing some energy. Over the next few months you will need to be at your best, and I’m not just saying this for “vanity” sake, but also so that you can be open and balanced for the new experiences to enter your life. If you are stuck, do everything you can to take action forward — even if that means you have to force yourself. The wheel has to turn, even if it’s slow. I have been hearing a lot of people saying that they have been experiencing being down, or seasonally affected.

Please don’t stay home and isolate. You need to do everything in your power to keep moving even if it is at a slow pace. Because once the energy shifts, those not prepared will still be at a halt. Be aware of the discomfort and move through it. Once you get the wheels in motion, you will feel much better. But you have to try to do this every day until the end of the month in some form. It doesn’t have to be anything outrageous, just getting you outside into the fresh air or around friends for some laughs. It’s simply these little things that lift the spirits.

If any of you think you may need a little help rejuvenating your physical body, home or environment, e-mail me and I will provide some great referrals. Sometimes we need extra help and a little motivation to get our energy cleared and balanced.

Now, onto the MESSAGES. I know you all really loved these last month, so I am going to keep them coming.

Just a little Clarification: I ran into many people after I wrote the messages last month, and a lot of them thought I was writing personally to them. Please know, I am not thinking of specific people to write to. Whatever messages come, I write them down. If they benefit you, WONDERFUL! They may even benefit more than one person, or you may have to give a message to someone you know.

Before I go on, next to each name I am going to write (OTHER SIDE) or (LIVING). This means that the name of that person is either someone living that needs that message or someone from the other side giving me the message!

George (OTHER SIDE) — To my wife. I am doing quite well. I miss my books and my study. I am happy that you kept my desk and some of the items on it..specifically the engraved paperweight. Congratulations on the graduation. (I am thinking he means a young boy from high school this year).

Bill (LIVING). This is a message from a BILL (OTHER SIDE). Take some time off. You are working way too much. Plus you are way too worried about having perfect shoes. Don’t be so anal all the time. RELAX.

Jill (LIVING) — Man oh man, do you get yourself into some hot water. Do you seriously think that doing the same thing over and over again is going to get you different results. You’re a great girl! What is your problem??? Stop the insanity and THINK before you act next time. This is especially true with impulsive decisions. Seek guidance from others.

Bob (OTHER SIDE) — To the living ROBERT (not Bob). Please make sure you keep your heart health in order. You know this runs in the family. Please don’t ignore signs of trouble. You can prevent this.

Joe (LIVING) — Go to the damn grocery store! Your refrigerator smells and you are getting very lazy. Clean the house because you will have to move by August. Someone on the other side is calling you a lazy bum.

Anitra (Juanita, Sarita) — Not sure of the exact pronunciation of this name. Someone on the other side, a young man who has passed of a drug overdose (heroin) is mentioning the silver chain you wear and the photos of Jesus you keep with you. He is telling me that you have lost your faith and it’s time to get it back. Please pray and ask for help and you will get your answer.

Kevin (LIVING). How is your back feeling? Did you pull it out AGAIN? Don’t do any work on the house or use any ladders for the next 30 days.

John (OTHER SIDE). Mentioning a Marilyn living. You need a new mattress, and there are holes in your current one! Yes, you also have bed bugs! Stop trying to save money and go buy one already.

June (living) — This is a message from Aunt Sally (or Shelly). Someone on the other side is very religious and has a red bible with them. They are telling me you are very blessed and these will be the BEST years of your life. They have supported someone who is in remission.

Jacob — HELLLL NOOOOO! Don’t do it Bro! This is someone who speaks like this. A friend of yours who passed — he is also mentioning a Mark name. He is saying he has the nice faded haircut and he looks great!

Marie — It’s time to do what you dreamed of doing. Don’t let finances hold you back. You have been wanting this for years. The number 7 or the month of July is significant.

Lucy or Lucille from the other side wants to recognize a Cathy. She is saying it’s not worth the stress and if you have to make big changes, do it.

John (other side) Leave mom alone. She needs her space to grieve. Stop asking her to make decisions about the house and the money.

Rick (living) Watch your right leg. You had a former injury which could still present problems. Take care of it now.

Judy (living). You are way out of line with telling people what to do. Your friends are pulling away from you because you are so bossy! Chill girlfriend and let others lead for a while.

Norman — I am so proud of you. Dad.

Liz — There is a Betty here from the other side. Actually the name “B”. Or maybe her name was Elizabeth and they called her Betty or Betsy. She has made the transition very smoothly and loves “heaven”! She loved gardening and her red tulips and they are awesome over there. She loves the smell of the beautiful flowers.

Frank — People on the other side are shaking their heads. They are saying they have tried to help you, but you don’t want the help. You want to do what YOU want to do, and they cannot wave a magic wand. If you want to make changes, make them!

Katie - stop smoking.

Billy - stop drinking.

Caitlyn — Rethink your school choices. Do you want to do something in medicine or the healing/helping field? Now is the time to consider life goals when making these choices. But it is time to choose. Don’t delay. And get rid of that old comforter now! This is from your brother on the other side. Also, mom and dad — you need a new fridge. Take those weird magnet pics of me down. They’re embarrassing. Tell dad he needs new work clothes. Those ties are very 90’s.

Caroline/Carolina — You have a good thing going there with your man. Why are you pushing him away?? If you keep doing this, he will leave for good. If this is not what you want, let him in and enjoy the man of your dreams. He’s right in front of you. Stop being so picky about his bad habits. You have yours you know ( the toe thing is not so womanly LOL.)

Frank or Francis — Play your guitar.

Alberto — It’s time to go to the West Coast and start your own business. Something about really cool car detailing!

Roman — HIIII from your loved ones on the other side and happy birthday grandpop.

WOOLY or WOOBLY — some nickname. I guess you know who you are. This is for you.

Stache (the polish word). This was a nickname for you too. Someone on the other side loves your tattoo you got in honor of them. They are mentioning a Jake connection in their life. This could be a friend living. Someone eats way too much cheese. He is joking saying you are going to turn into cheese someday. Someone loves Charlie and the Chocolate factory. I believe this is a young person who passed on a quad or a motorcycle. He’s also mentioning the military and passing in the ambulance on the way to the hospital Resuscitation was done three times, but he thought he should go. Someone has his sneakers and his poetry/song lyrics.  Thank you for the wonderful memorial service!

Bobby — someone on the other side is calling you BOOBY. This is from your brother who passed. There are twins in your family or twins coming. He has a cross around his neck he is referencing. Also a CC and a Julie.

Ok, that is all for now!!

All my best!!

Greetings!

2011 is finally here and boy are we in for a solid ride this year! This year is the year of stability and finance. If things have been rocky for you in various life areas, this year will be a stabilizer for you. It’s as if you’ve been back and forth waiting to see where you fit in 2010. 2011 finds you a very secure place in the world. You are FINALLY in a place and have a strong foundation to see your creations come to life!

The depth at which this happens will be dependent on various factors. Have long have you been tending to your life garden? How many seeds have you planted over the past seven years? If you have been working hard in any area, you are sure to see results from long standing relationships, networking contacts and friends that you have personally built over time. The puzzle piece will fit perfectly, and you will be fully ready to bring your beautiful picture out into the world

This is a year of KNOWING WHO YOU ARE. If you have been struggling over the years to figure out where you fit, what you like, or just who you are in the world, this is the year where you will finally be happy with yourself, whether it be health, relationships or a solid career decision.

As I write this, I see fireworks. This means that many of you will be experiencing breakthroughs that are WILD and DAZZLING this year. Your long awaited recognition will come in unexpected ways from those who have been watching you from the sidelines (and you may have not even known it).

My advice for you would be to focus ONLY on putting your best foot forward. Only seek to do best by YOUR BEST standards. Look only to do your best work and be your best, because the people this year who will support you and recognize you will be those that are beyond your radar (whatever that means lol).

It’s really interesting. I am reading this as it’s coming so I am just as excited as you are!! Sometimes, you may think you know your direction. You may THINK you know what’s best for your path. However, I could tell you that this year will bring you the VERY BEST, but it may be totally different than anything you have expected, and frankly it’s going to be EVEN BETTER. The best part is that you this will come without any effort on your part! That’s right, EFFORTLESS. All you need to do is suit up and show up, and if you’ve done right by the universe, especially in the last THREE YEARS, you will see that not only have those who you’ve influenced have remembered you, but they have some pretty amazing opportunities for you.

This is not only in career matters. This is in personal matters as well. Perhaps you have met your soul mate two years ago but the timing was off. Perhaps both of you were in different areas of your life at the time. I could tell you that person REMEMBERED you and both of you will be ready when the timing is right. (I feel this is a personal message to someone who is reading right now — someone connected to an Ann or Anna — there is a Mike reference as well) Or if that’s your name even better. This is pretty cool! Getting messages for specific people as I write!

But anyway, December was very hard for a lot of you. But remember what I said in last month’s message. The universe is making china out of clay! You have to be molded and sculpted to a better you, and sometimes that is VERY uncomfortable. A lot of you may have felt very “down” over the holidays this year. Don’t fret! It is just you knowing that certain things need to change. I’d rather see a new you for 2011!

Now, for those of you that have been stuck in patterns for the past FIVE YEARS (I get a Stephanie here) — remember whatever you grown in the past SEVEN will sprout now. If those things were not positive, you need to take a REALLY GOOD look at yourself and make some extreme changes before January 29th.

So, this is a GREAT time to start a new fitness regimen, diet plan, quit drinking or smoking (for good), and to start to let ANOTHER (whether that be a counselor, mentor, rehab, doctor, and/or twelve step program for addiction related illnesses) help you. Don’t think for one minute that you could do this alone or through your own actions this year. YOU WILL NEED HELP (getting a Tony/Anthony here). Remember what you have grown in the past seven years will prevail — so if you have grown in the opposite direction, you will need the best help you can get to bring you the best year of 2011! If you insist on doing it YOUR WAY, you may not be happy with the results (Getting a Mary, Marie, or Mary Ann here).

Now, just because I get names in some of these areas does not mean that this doesn’t apply to you. This is an inspirational message for all of you. However, I am getting those names for the purpose of driving the point home to those mentioned. Here are some other January Messages. This is strange. In all the years prior, this hasn’t come up to do! But you know me, going with the flow!!

Robert/Bob: Get your car fixed. You need new tires and you are procrastinating.

Leslie: It’s the milk that’s bothering your stomach. Reduce dairy.

Grace: This is someone from the other side saying hello and happy birthday to a loved one. The number 21 is also coming up here. Either the 21st of the month or February 1st. It could even be a 21st birthday.

Wendy: Stop with the fast food. (hahahhaha How funny is this one?? Wendy, fast food?? Hilarious)

I’m now hearing the song: John, Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt (oh wow how do you spell that)?? His name is my name too!!

Rita: You are working too hard. If your ears hurt you, please go to the doctor. Also, people may not be saying good things about you. Rethink how you come off to others. Any resolutions may be helpful this year.

Elise: Overhaul.

Jim/James: You’re not thinking clearly. Stop thinking with the wrong head (hahahhahahha THIS ONE IS HILARIOUS!!)

Donna: Oh my. Get rid of that jerk now!! He is not trustworthy. And that other guy you like. Bad choice too. You need to see someone about the men you pick!!

Glenda: I am getting a message of a china or fine porcelain set from someone on the other side. The woman’s name could be Glenda, and she is referencing a Lynn or Linda connection.

James/Jamie: Time to get back on your mountain bike!

Tori/ Toury: Get back to your creative writing. Something is sure to take off and be published this year.

Gina: You know what to do. What are you waiting for? Get that fur lined coat you want (the black one — and yes the expensive one)

Joe: Get that athlete’s foot taken care of!

Maurice: Cut your hair. It is not flattering

Bess/Bessie: This is lady from the other side telling her granddaughter ” You are not alone. I’m here and we will get through this”. Someone is currently ill in the family and she is watching over them.

J.J. - Stop drinking and driving.

Mubby/Bubby (not sure of this name): It could be a pet?? Someone needs help with their sinuses

Lucy: This is someone’s grandmother from the other side. The message: You are going to make yourself sick worrying all the time. Do something independent of work that you like. Make time for it. It is work related, but it will bring you joy. Invest your time and see great things happen!

Mubby/Bubby: This is still coming through. Something about vinyl records/victrola, and the handwritten letter.

Sue: My dear! You need to make some changes. Eat more! Someone on other side is watching your daughter closely. Watch your knees.

Someone with the last name Higgenbottom (or something that sounds like that). Anyone who is partying around you, or if you are, please be careful. You are doing too many things in excess, slow down!

Joyce: Just saying hello!!

Greta & Grace: two ladies on the other side laughing saying that are not with their husbands on the other because they are having too much fun, plus they don’t want to watch them play cards and smoke cigars any more.

Louis: A man from the other side says “I love and miss you.”

Ok, I have appointments today!!  I would love to keep doing this as it is very interesting!!

Have a magical 2011!!

All my best wishes to you and your family for the New Year!

Marisa

Greetings!

Welcome to my favorite time of year! Crisp air, less humidity and of course the Halloween season! Don’t let this amazing energy pass you by. These last two weeks have been so busy! Some of you may feel pulled in several different directions all at once. My advice: don’t give up now. Normally I advise to take care of yourself and give yourself a rest. Not this month!

Now is the time to work hard, so you can reap the rewards. Hard work WILL pay off, so don’t slack off because you feel run down. I’m not saying to get yourself sick! However, sometimes when things get too tough, we may want to give up and give in. Trust me! Push through and make the most out of the upcoming weeks. This is especially true from today until October 31st. This Halloween will be stellar, with much needed romantic energy bursting at the seams (that was not an intended pun LOL). During Halloween weekend, you have a sudden rush of renewed energy.

If you are single, these next two weeks are prime for you to meet someone new with great fireworks between you! The intensity of energy to come is sure to be very exciting and somewhat addictive. Try not to overindulge. You will be seeking a euphoric feeling. With the intense energy surrounding you at that time, you want to put it to positive activities and not anything destructive. The forces are too strong at the end of the month.

If you are with someone in a long standing union, this could be a great time to renew your relationship and even have a so called metamorphosis! Both of you will experience major energetic shifts around this time, so enjoy it!

Overall the next few weeks will be very lucrative, but only the strong will survive. Now is the time to use that much needed will power to keep going even though you are tired (and probably want to sleep for a few days)! Believe me, once mid November hits, so will a slow point, and then you will want the activity. Plant your feet firmly in the ground this month and till the soil as much as you can, because the first week of November brings much surprises. Many of you will be celebrating big time! So my early congrats to you! This most likely will be monetary sums or windfalls, or much needed recognition and/or a much deserved promotion.

*ARTS/MEDIA: Those of you in the media and the arts will want to make the most of the first week of November. You will be rewarded with recognition from industry insiders.

*SALES: For those of you in the sales industry, this could be that “big contract” or the one that you have been working on for many years that finally comes to fruition.

*HEALTH INDUSTRY: For those of your in the health or healing industry, you will see a lot of clients now through the first two weeks of November. Everything seems to be coming out of the woodwork. You will need to be strong for many people, especially at the end of the month. Health care management seems on the weaker end this month, so there may be some erratic changes/upheavals at work.

*BUSINESS: This is a VERY good month for contracts of all kinds, and especially securing long lasting partnerships during the first two weeks of November. Large business will profit.

*SMALL BUSINESS/ENTREPRENEUR: Remember this is a time to reap rewards from years of hard work and foundation. Not a good time to start a new business or make a large new investment. Invest in experience.

*INVESTMENTS/STOCKS: Not a good time to invest in new business, or hot stocks. This is a great time to invest with reputable banks and companies that have proven their longevity and can back it up with their products.

*SERVICE INDUSTRY: Boom towards the end of October, but with very demanding clients. If you can put up with them, big tips are in your future Some will even leave massive tips! Hair salons and stylists will experience this the most.

* POLICE / FIRE / EMS: With the intense energy coming in, expect some very “strange” happenings and events. These will be completely out of the norm and will not be your usual Halloween pranks. Those of you in this field will be working many hours of overtime this month. Hopefully it will pay off! Demand overtime wages if you are not being compensated. In addition, you will be hearing news of upheaval regarding contracts, agreements and changes to long standing codes. Most of you will be at a cross roads by November 1st as to whether to stay in your current career or leave. If you do leave, the change will not be lateral. You will move into an entirely different career. Some of you may go to medical school and become doctors!

If you do not see your industry here and you are reading this on my blog, leave your industry and I will comment. If on facebook, just comment on my post and I will respond!! Twitter, same. If you are not a fan on facebook or twitter, you can interact with me by clicking on the links on the left. I do most of my interaction on Facebook.

Last but not least, it would be best to leave any work you are unsure of “to the experts”. If you are not an expert in something, don’t pretend that you could do it on the fly. Being unprepared is not wise, for any impressions you make now will be long lasting. This is not time to fly by the seat of your pants or hope that something works out. Impulsiveness is not the name of the game. However, if you have worked hard over the past decade in any field (specifically the past 8 years), it’s now time to get your gold medal! Your work WILL pay off!

You will only be rewarded if you have put in the time and the effort, and the rewards will be almost in exact proportions. It is also important to look at your current relationships. How have you tended to your relationship garden? This relates to much more than romantic relationships. How have you treated your family, friends, associates and business peers over the past eight months?

It’s just not about working hard, but also having the right intentions and laying strong foundations. If you find that your foundation isn’t solid, you may want to hold off in your endeavors. There will be another chance for you, but take some important inventory and learn your spiritual lessons before moving forward.

Wow, I just scrolled up and saw that I wrote quite a bit here! I guess I should leave the rest to your thoughts!

Happy Fall!

All my best,

Marisa

Greetings!

Here we are again! This retrograde has not been pleasant, especially with trying to get technical issues handled and everything in order.

My advice: get as much done as you can. You will see the energy moving a little bit more after September 12th. I would give it to the 15th to be safe. Know that any contracts, follow-ups and deals will most likely have delays at this point.

There may also be delays in your personal life as well, especially for those of you planning a big event such as a wedding, anniversary or big birthday party. Keep everything fluid, and try to go with the flow. Those of you who like order and well laid plans may have a hard time with this. That’s an excellent lesson in fluidity though. Sometimes, when we flow with what the universe has in store for us, it may be a LOT better than anything we have planned out for ourselves.

Other than delays, this energy feels like a horse waiting to come out of the gate! That’s why I put a horse on the newsletter this month. Horses are meant to run fee! But when that energy is pent up and the horse can’t run, the energy becomes wild and imbalanced. So here’s why I say this. Like the horse, you are waiting to rush out of the gate and get on with the race. You want to move! You want to get things done!

We would have a problem if there was nothing to do once the gates opened right? All that erratic energy would be for nothing. However, the energy coming after September 12th warrants otherwise. There are opportunities to be seized and like the horse race, you better go after them or another horse will win! That’s right, this energy can be quite competitive — but the rewards of the race are well worth reaping!

So for right now, prepare yourself for the race, and get as much ORGANIZED as possible. Knowledge right now is power. Research is key. Don’t come out of the gate and run wildly all over the place. To get ahead now, risks without research will not bode well. If you are taking on a new endeavor, make sure you do all the background work first! For those of you who like to shoot first and then aim, you may want to think twice. Risk without proper knowledge is not favorable at this time. Like the horse, you want to remain graceful as you run. You don’t want to come across erratic, rushed and unprepared.

Also, you want to remain focused, in your zone, and without thought in this process. This relates to anything business or personal you would like to achieve. Those who run out like a wild goose will burn out and be left in the dust. With your determination and knowledge behind you, you will endure.

I have a rather interesting parallel that I would like to illustrate that I find quite humorous but so on target with this month’s message. Over the labor day weekend, Rich and I decided to take an impromptu day trip to Dewey Beach in DE. I wanted to show him a place that I spent a lot of my time as a kid. It was a beautiful day! We both love playing games on the boardwalk, especially the competitive ones where you could win BIG prizes. The more people that play, the larger the prize.

So as we were walking down the boardwalk, we came across a horse racing game! How fitting. Basically there are 12 spots open for people to sit, and you have to roll a ball into colored holes to get the horse to move. Different colors represent how many spaces the horse will move at a time. There are a few red holes which are the ones you want to hit, and then there are blue and yellow ones. Sometimes the ball won’t go in any hole and you have to wait until it comes out again to roll it. So you lose momentum.

We must have played close to 10 times, and for many of those times, one of us came close to winning but for some reason we kept coming in second or third place. We seemed to have lost momentum. I really wanted to win that horse! So I thought I would try something different. I was spending too much time watching the other horses! I wanted to know where I was in the race. When I was practicing rolling the ball before the race started, I was focused and relaxed and wasn’t concerned about the other people or the race.

However, once the bell sounded, my anxious energy to win the prize took over and I started getting too excited. This made for bad rolls and a lot of gutter rolls! The more I tapped into the competitive energy of the other players, the further back I found myself.

So I decided to test a theory. I decided not to look at the other horses at all during the race. I would not even look to see where my own horse was. I would block out all other energy and completely focus in a relaxed way in just rolling the ball. The bell sounded.

I started to slowly roll the ball with focus. Time after time, the ball was landing in the two big spaces. I didn’t miss a shot. However, I was laughing at myself thinking how slow the process was. I thought for sure I was tossing too slow to win. The focused energy felt like I was in slow motion. Interesting, this is exactly how I feel when I do galleries. Time doesn’t seem to exist. I was sure I was too slow to be ahead, so I just continued to toss good shots.

Finally the bell sounded, and Rich looked up and started tapping me. He couldn’t believe it. Not only did my horse win, but it was not even close to the other horses. The whole group was together and mine was so far ahead. I never saw anything like it with that game. Usually, all the horses are clustered together in some way. There wasn’t even a chance for another horse to come close in this game!

I tried to repeat it again, but couldn’t. What started off as a boardwalk game turned into a very cool spiritual lesson! Focusing on everyone else depletes your energy. Competition is an illusion. Focusing on yourself and being in your own flow works better than worrying about what everyone else is doing. Stay out of your own way! Don’t make other people’s life your business. Channel your energy toward your dreams in a graceful way!

In the end, I realized it wasn’t any one else that was impeding my progress. It was me competing against myself! How does this example relate to your life?

Also, this story represents flying out of the gate as unprepared, erratic and aggressively competitive. Those traits will not get you anywhere right now, especially with the current energies at hand. Know your plan and carefully put it in to place. Stay relaxed, focused and inwardly confident. You can only win with that energy! Remember others feel what you give off, and people generally distance themselves from this energy.

Overall there is a lot to be won this month. Just don’t get too excited! Celebrate when everything has manifested itself. And it will! I’m sure of that!

Best,

Marisa

Greetings!

Happy 4th Of July Weekend! Please have fun and be safe. For those of you on my Facebook Fanpage, you know that I have made some current posts about the universe conducting a very powerful “cleansing process”. That which no longer serves you (or does not serve your highest good) will gently fall away from your path.

Over the past several months, we encountered more severe energy shifts. We have also seen this reflected globally by earthquakes and skittish weather. Unexpected bursts have been happening in our atmosphere, but this month there are no “surprises”. Sometimes doors close on us unexpectedly (even abruptly) leaving us feeling adverse emotional effects.

During this personal “cleansing” in your life, this energetic shift will be as gentle as the summer breeze. But don’t be fooled, there are major shifts that will happen in your life, and many aspects that have been in your life for years may wash away like the tide. You will accept these changes without knowing how or why you were able to do it so easily. You will no longer feel stuck. How are you able to have this acceptance, whereas for so many years you have been fighting your own path?

Well the answer lies in something far beyond our Earthly comprehension. The universe is preparing us for many changes, all of which require us to be moving toward our spiritual purpose during this lifetime. All of you are required to be where you will best serve humanity, regardless of whether you want to or not. Most of these shifts will be POSITIVE in nature. Very positive in fact.

Any negativity you have encountered over the past year was due to you being aligned with those who are not serving your highest good. The universe is letting us know that there is no more time to waste our energy to contribute to lowering the vibration of the planet. The planet is going through a cleansing and renewal process, and as this happens on our earth, your life and state of mind will follow.

Like attracts like, and if you SHIFT, which you will — your vibration and frequency will change. This means that you will no longer “connect” with what you once connected to. It’s just that you are meant to live now in accordance to a divine plan — to engage in your SPECIFIC PURPOSE here. I believe that we all agreed to our Earth Contracts before we came here, and sometimes we get lost along the way.

The best way I could describe this to you is with this analogy. Let’s say you were in cast in a Broadway Show. You know your part, you receive a script, you memorize your lines and you rehearse. But when you’re out of the theatre after rehearsal, you encounter other life distractions. If there are problems at work or home, you might not prepare as well for the show, and that will reflect on your rehearsal. If things get too tense, you might even drop out. But let’s say you are under contract and you MUST PERFORM ON OPENING NIGHT. Other people in the play depend on you just as much as you depend on them.

The role you play is not as important as that you play your role well. We can’t all play the same role. What good is the play if there is no lighting or direction? You were cast in YOUR role with these other people because you all have a purpose to serve together, and YOU have an important part to play. They are depending on you to be as focused as them to make the show a success. No matter what the outside world brings (those distractions that do not serve you), YOU MUST AT SOME POINT “TAKE YOUR PLACES” and perform on opening night.

In life now, the universe has announced it is time “To Take Your Places”! You will automatically start to be shifted back to Life’s Theatre! If you miss your call time, the show must go on without you. The good news is that if you just “Go With The Flow”, you will be in alignment with your purpose. If you are in alignment, you don’t need to know the how’s or the why’s. You just need to look at the script and play the role to the best of your ability.

Think about your passions in life. What drives you? What gives you energy? What drains you? What makes your body feel tired? Pay attention to the way your body reacts and what fills your life force energy. Remain close to those people, situations and passions that align you with positive energy. The people and situations that fall away are not “bad”. So don’t think of yourself as better or worse. They are just vibrating at a different frequency and have different life lessons to learn.

If you have learned certain lessons, you are ready to take the next steps, and you will vibrate to what is meant for your highest good.

This is very interested and exciting energy!

Can’t wait to hear all your stories!

Best,

Marisa

May 2010 Inspirational Message From Marisa Liza Pell

Greetings!

Congrats! You are through the majority of the major harsh energies from the past several months including misunderstandings, delays and worries. This is especially true concerning business partnerships and the workplace in general. The word “monkey wrench” comes to mind! Sometimes your carefully laid plans don’t work out no matter how hard you try to force them to happen.

And there is usually a reason for that! It’s either not the right time, or a different opportunity is meant to be in your life. Remember, what the universe has in store for you is usually better than ANYTHING you will dream up for yourself. Plus, the universe is not self-defeating and does not look to sabotage our lives!

Right now you are in the midst of some very clear and “clean” energy. It’s like going from a traffic jam in the city to a nice Sunday drive through the country side. But those of you who are used to the chaotic life will be quite weary during this time. You might ask, “Why am I feeling so calm”? “The other shoe must be dropping soon!” or better yet, “I’M BORED!!” Yes, this calm energy will make you feel a little bored, but with the racing mind a little on a the back burner, you are ripe with new possibilities for creative expression AND to put your affirmations to the universe on the table. What are your dreams? Now is the time to reaffirm them to the universe, because anything you put out now will act like a healthy seed that will begin to sprout great results!

Do not try to plan your “future” right now. There is a saying which makes me laugh every time but it’s so true, “If you want to make God laugh, plan your day!” Sometimes your carefully laid plans are really not the best for you! If you’re unhappy or most of your life has been difficult, maybe you should STOP planning — because the decisions you are making on your own probably aren’t working in the long run.

This is a time to trust others and have faith! Of all the challenges in the universe, FEAR is the largest culprit. It affects more of us than anything, and misread perceptions are the number one cause of us acting out towards our fellow human beings. What we perceive is usually our reality, but we usually fall short in getting the FACTS! Usually, instead of communicating our fears, we go into protection mode, and when we PERCEIVE a threat, we act on it. Whether that means pulling back from an important person, not being open with a loved one, or acting out through irrational emotions — the only person you will hurt is you.

How many of you have found out that what you believed in your head wasn’t true at all once you asked for the facts? Perhaps you held onto anger and resentment for years only to find out that you misinterpreted someone’s intentions. Being overly protective of yourself will only alienate people! However, this is not as easy as it sounds.

Back in the old days, people didn’t lock their doors!! Can you believe it? Yes, people actually trusted their neighbors and knew that in time of need they could rely on those in their community for help. In the era of TV and Media News, we hear the message of fear every day — PEOPLE ARE BAD! They want to rob from you, steal from you, sue you and so on. We don’t hear about people that are GOOD and who help other people.

Also, we are trained to take actions so we aren’t taken advantage of. We are told that if we scream at people we get results! The screeching wheel gets the oil. We need to put up fences to defend our property lines! Don’t stop to help someone in need, you might get hurt! We are being told to isolate ourselves more and more from our fellow human beings. The message in our minds is that at anytime someone could turn against us! So you better protect yourself! Doesn’t that sound silly? What happens to those people that do this? Yes, they end up alone and bitter at the world!

I could tell you personally that this is not the case when booking clients for my services. I give my appointment setters and administrative staff full reign over the business I take in. An overly aggressive client, a rude tone, or someone speaking to my staff in a disrespectful manner will not get an appointment.

Yes, it is true. I do not take every single client that wants to book an appointment if the energy is not right. I know that this will only drain my staff and myself, as WELL AS THE CLIENT. Knowing when something or someone is NOT RIGHT FOR YOU is the solution. Who wants an unhappy client? I have to know my limitations and what I can handle and what I can’t. I am not superwoman and cannot handle everyone’s energies. I tend to react and then I don’t give my best. However, I do have readers that I refer who are not affected by the same energies I am sensitive to! Knowing yourself is the first step to a peaceful life!! Knowing what WON’T work for you before you agree to something is the key!

The question for you is: Who are YOU saying YES to when you should be saying NO? In business are you dealing with people who aren’t right for you just for the money? Are you in a job that doesn’t treat you right because you are in fear of not finding another one? Are you helping so many people that you have no time for yourself? Do you live in guilt that others won’t like you if you don’t do things for them? Let me say for sure, it will never be enough!! Guilt is an endless treadmill! People pleasing doesn’t exist — because most of the people you are trying to please are never pleased to begin with!!!

So on this lovely weekend in May, get yourself off the couch and do something fun! Plan a trip– give yourself something to look forward to in life! Say NO today!! You don’t have to be rude — see how it feels! Just say, “I’m sorry I have other things planned today!” Give me a call during the week! More often than not, that person will find someone or something else in the upcoming day for relief and YOU WILL BE HAVING FUN!!

Have courage and take great risks!

All my best,

Marisa

April 2010 Inspirational Message From Marisa Liza Pell
* Plus A Special Message About Alignment and Manifestation!

Greetings!

Springtime is a time for new life! This is the best time to rise from the ashes of your old life — without any regrets.

At this point there should be no excuses about leaving the past behind — in all forms, especially old emotional wounds. Holding onto past pain, anger and resentment will only AFFECT YOU! By holding onto these toxic emotions, you are not harming the person who did you wrong in any way. Just you.

Emotions that are not released have a tendency to build up over time and can cause a myriad of emotional disorders, add to present addictive behaviors, and can manifest in the physical body in the form of diseases and chronic pain.

Holding on tight to these emotions because you feel JUSTIFIED will NOT SERVE YOU — and will not lead to justice. Some of you may even use the wrongs others have done to use as an EXCUSE to not be able to move forward in your career, love life, health, or to make the necessary changes that will lead to a better and more fulfilled life.

Happiness depends on you and you alone. There is no outside “fix” that will act as a magic wand to your happiness — no will any intuitive reading do the job. I have many clients who spend their hard earned money on a reading, only to want to hear that they can keep living their life in a destructive way and that there will still be a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Do yourself a favor and don’t waste your time or your money on any advice or self help if you are NOT WILLING TO CHANGE.

Change takes a lot of hard work, and yes there is pain and discomfort attached because you are taking actions against your natural patterns. But the small amount of discomfort is worth the years of happiness you will reap!

Let me talk for a minute about manifesting your desires. When you take a shower, do you stand in the back of the shower and hope that the tiny splashes of water will get you clean? Obviously not, because that would be absurd — right? When you take a shower, you stand directly under the flow of water! This same concept applies to manifesting your desires.

Manifestation of all your dreams and desires starts with ALIGNMENT. It doesn’t begin by begging or wishing things to happen, or having “hope”. Being in alignment with what you refer to as your higher power will be all that you need to move forward in abundance — whether that is financial, your love life, or your health.

When I mention higher power, I mean whatever you deem appropriate for your spiritual direction and growth. You may call your higher power God, Jesus, Buddha, or you may merely call your higher power the spirit of universal energy. Whatever you choose, it is important to be in daily alignment with that power, or YOU will start to lose power and start to exercise YOUR OWN WILL POWER in your daily situations and life decisions.

Once you take your own will back into your hands and start to make decisions based on WHAT YOU WANT, YOUR IMPULSES, YOUR IMPATIENCE, or ANY DESTRUCTIVE HABIT, you move away from the alignment, and you start to take the road that will lead to a lack of fulfillment. A good way to judge whether you are in alignment or not is by asking yourself some of these questions:

• Are you in a state of constant anxiety and depression?
• Do you feel a lack of joy in your lfe?
• Do you feel that life is just a constant struggle to get by each day?
• Do you have obsessive or racing thoughts?
• Do you have fear of not getting what you want or losing something you have?
• Do you try to control, manipulate, or change others?
• Do you play angles to get what you want (i.e. trying every possible avenue to get what you want — for instance if being nice doesn’t work, do you try to be forceful instead?)
• Do you see negative patterns emerging in your life?
• Do you find yourself asking why life just isn’t treating you right?

If you answered yes to many of these questions, you are NOT IN ALIGNMENT.

Small steps you can take to begin alignment:

• Stop trying to FORCE anything
• Let go, surrender and release situations that are causing you struggle
• If something isn’t working right, it’s probably not right
• When in doubt, make the decision to not make a decision
• Completely let go and have faith without taking ANY action for a certain period of time — the universe will provide clarity and insight.
• Change you and others will follow, not the other way around
• Focusing on change in others in a sorry excuse to not work on yourself
• Exercise and eat right!
• Be kind and help others without any expectation.

Thanks for reading! All my best!
