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.

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.
