Here Comes the Sun

Image from wallpapercave.com

YAY! September is here! Spring time, my favourite season. New beginnings, fresh starts, floral scents and new awakenings are all gifts on offer in Springtime. The New Moon in Virgo last week was perfect accompaniment energy for new beginnings.

After the intensity energy levels in previous months, things are beginning to shift and realign.

This month I was guided to share a message for us all from my book, Gifts of Guidance, Fifty Messages. Spirit and I co created fifty messages, that you can choose, much like a deck of angel cards.

It seemed apt that the message called 'The Sun' came up!

Message 3

Light

The Messenger

The Sun

‘If light is in your heart, you will find your way home’   Rumi

The Vision

Sunlight streaming through a dark forest.

The Message

It is time to open your heart to the light; to see the light in yourself and the world around you. We have a choice to count our blessings or to focus on what is not right in ourselves and in our lives. Gratitude is a quiet power that we have only begun to touch on.

In this moment, consider one positive attribute about yourself. Send love and gratitude to that quality, then name another quality you love about yourself and you will soon become aware of many of your inner gifts.

Focus on a situation that is bothering you right now. Within each shadow is a gift; are you learning wisdom, patience or perhaps being honest with yourself and others?

The light is here to help you simply by acknowledging its existence. Darkness is but an illusion as when light appears, darkness vanishes.

The light and truth will now shine on whatever concerns you today. Whatever challenges you now face, look for the silver lining and clarity shall be yours.

The Lesson

Awareness and acceptance of the light within.

Power Choice

·     Open the curtains, allow the light in

·     Burn candles

·     Breathe in light

·     Spend time in the sun

·     Focus on gratitude.

Momentary Meditation

Inhale deeply while visualising light entering your lungs. Hold this light in for a few seconds and then exhale darkness, making room for the light. You can now breathe in light easily and gently.

Affirmation

‘I am the light.’

Liz’s Comments

This message asks us to release superficial judgements of ourselves and situations we are in. It encourages us to search deeper in our hearts rather than accepting everything our mind tells us as the truth. Now is an opportunity to ascend to a higher level of understanding.

In moments of meditation throughout my life, there have been some special moments where I completely became one with light. Once, as a teenager, I was innocently walking to the laundromat when for approximately five seconds, quite randomly, I was above my body watching it walk down the street. Those five seconds altered my whole outlook on life as I merged with a light and power that encompassed me in complete peace.

More recently, I had an outer body experience during a meditation. I found myself hovering over planet Earth and was totally in love with every square inch of it. No judgement or fear. I just felt unconditional love. Perhaps you have had a similar experience.

Although fleeting, in those timeless moments I became one with everything. I knew everything there was to know. I sense this is what death is like, being one with the light and being able to be in an endless moment of unconditional love. There truly is a part within us that is connected to each other and all things.

Although we often feel separated from ‘source’ in human form, the light within us is consistent and accessible. We can call on our angels, helpers and guides to assist our connection.

Spirit can help us more easily when we make a conscious effort to focus on the light and on our inner selves. Such is the importance of spending time within and seeking balance and harmony in our lives.

Question
Do you think we will be moving house in the near future?
Ms H

Answer
Dear Ms H, when I tune in I sense that your guides are trying to help you cut through the confusion but it is hard for you to hear them. They suggest you get some quiet time, either meditation or time out in nature to download their guidance and get a sense of what you really want. I sense if you make the effort to be quiet, Spirit will be loud and clear. Besides that message, I do sense that it is time for change and that there will be a move. I do see a peaceful green place that you are quite happy living in. Whatever the future brings regarding home, I feel its a good one.


Question 
I am feeling drawn to a change of direction with career and like the idea of starting my own business. Is this a good idea?
Misha

Answer
Dear Misha,  the fact you are 'feeling drawn'  says to me, that you are being guided and I would honour that. I sense your own business would be a great success but the transition period may be hard work, yet your passion will be your fuel. At the end of the day, as you know, a lot of what happens in life is based on free will and choice. If you choose this path, Spirit will support you all the way. I do feel however not to leave your current job at this point but to start taking steps towards your own business. I also feel there may be an opportunity to work in a environment, for somebody else in the near future, that will be similar to the business you would like to create. Get manifesting! You can do it and it will be SO rewarding!

Question
I would love some guidance around offering my readings, I am so ready but the practical and the particulars seem to be stalling me and am not sure how to proceed.
Miss SF

Answer
Dear Miss SF, I sense an older lady around you in Spirit who was very intuitive in her life, a relative, perhaps on your father's side of the family. She is a strong character and is pushing you to share your wonderful gifts. She is very practical and saying 'just start!' She is showing me a market atmosphere and also reading from a balcony somewhere that looks like a country side healing retreat or space. Once you begin, you will activate energy and more opportunities will come. As you say, you are so ready. Just start and the universe will guide you. This lady also shows me some business cards. Best of luck, the world needs your light!

Question
My kitty has been ill in and out of hospital, does Spirit have a message for me? 
Zoya


Answer
Dear Zoya, I am so sorry to hear about your Kitty and understand the worry and financial burden you are experiencing. When I tune in on Kitty, I feel she is tired and uncomfortable and part of her would like to go home to Spirit. However, only you can decide what best for both of you right now. I do see some improvement in the next few weeks, but in a way I feel what is happening now is preparation for when she does decide to go home. I feel your other pussy cat in Spirit is very close around you bringing you much comfort. I hear a little bell ringing, maybe she wore one around her neck. Much love and healing light to you and Kitty!


Question 
After a long break away from Australia I'm returning next week and would like to know how work life would look like in the next few months? Daniella

Answer 
Dear Daniella, I feel a father figure energy around you in Spirit who is guiding you at this time with practical decisions. I sense he may have passed before his time and was a grounded sort of fellow. He says you are in tune as you are returning at the perfect time where unexpected opportunities will arise. You will have a few choices of career direction but the one you choose will give activate joy and enthusiasm. I feel it will be a helpful role and bring you satisfaction. All will be well. Welcome back !


Question
I am looking for any insight on moving forward. I have taken a couple of steps, where to now?
Ms. K 

Answer 
Dear Ms K, You have many loving people in Spirit around you who are excited for your future. I feel like you are travelling overseas and laughing a lot. I had a flash of somewhere that looked a little like Arizona. I sense you are ready to let some new people into your life, not that you will seek them out, I feel that they will just turn up. I also saw you doing something very creative with your hands, maybe weaving, dream catchers (?), leather work, fabrics etc. Now is the time for you. Be open to the new.  Doing some sort of intentional vision quest could also be quite helpful to you now.  Wishing you all the best for your fabulous future!

Has Spirit Forgotten You?

I know the feeling. You believe in Spirit, you try to trust, you try to make good choices and read and listen to inspirational information. Perhaps you meditate, do yoga and eat organic food and deep down you know that you are connected to something so much bigger than you understand...BUT why does it feel like you're floundering down here on earth some days and the thought creeps up, why Spirit, why are you doing this to me or why have you forgotten me ?

Well the way I see it, I believe in the school of thought that the planet is one big classroom. That means that everything happens for a reason and even if it is a mistake than its a learning curve. That may sound simplistic and not answer our burning questions about violence, death, hunger and destruction. Yet, perhaps we are not meant to understand everything and know all the answers and perhaps its okay to be living in the moment and not knowing where we are heading.

Oprah Winfrey wrote a book called, 'What I know For Sure' and although I never finished reading it, I liked the title. What I know for sure is that there seems to be a basic urge for connection with others, including all life forms, ie people, pets, nature etc. I suspect this is because consciousness is meant to evolve and the way we evolve is through connection to each other and life force energy.

Last week I had the saddest task of euthanasing my beautiful companion Charlie, who presented his life force consciousness in the body of a dog. (a terrier x Shitzu to be exact)

It was one of the hardest things I have ever done and I am missing him so much! However, Charlie continued to teach and help me evolve up to the end of his life by allowing me to be part of his passing over, or should I say vacating his vessel.

In the thirteen years we spent together, Charlie consistently reminded me of innocence, joy and unconditional love. He was a puppy until the end. Through knowing the consciousness that inhabited the body of Charlie, I evolved, right up to his last breath.

The last week he was alive, he allowed me to be his carer, healer and comforter as he became so weak and helpless. As my husband and I walked away from his body after he vacated it, I saw no one home in his eyes, he was not there in that cute, tan coloured body anymore.

I can only hope that the love he received from me and my family helped his consciousness to evolve also.

Rest in blissful peace, my angel Charlie, 2006 - 2019

So, has Spirit forgotten me? Has Spirit forgotten you? No, I don't think so, the wheels just keep turning and perhaps the most self caring choice we can make is to trust that everything is working out in ways that we may not always understand. I sense that there is a bigger picture going on that gets revealed to us at the right time.  In the meantime, we can trust, we can ask Spirit for help and guidance and be open to how that manifests.

Does it mean we won't flounder, feel fear, grief, anger or uncertainty? No, but we can be comforted knowing that Spirit, or a divine power, call it what you will,  is with us even when we can't feel it and that this gift of  life, well, is pretty special!

Have a great August!

Question
 I would love to know where my future is headed in the next month.
Maddie

Answer 
Dear Maddie, our future lies not only in fate, but in our choices. Do not underestimate your own power and ability to make positive choices. In many ways, that is why we are here, to develop our free will. Spirit trusts you enough to know you can make positive choices in the next month that contribute to a fulfilling time ahead.
Spirit advises you make choices based on your gut feelings and not what you think you should do. I know it can be confusing but perhaps imagine you were giving your best friend advice in the same situation as you, what would you tell them? A tall angel walks by your side who I feel is like a guardian. She will help you create new beginnings in the near future. Keep asking Spirit for help and they will answer you in subtle but meaningful ways. Wish you all the best.

Question 
 Can I have guidance on next steps in my career and if change is approaching and if so, any wisdom on the best path to consider? Kelly

Answer 
Dear Kelly, Spirit applauds your sincerity and kindness and have been hearing your prayers and wants to remind you that you always land on your feet and that each opportunity is a platform for you to grow. It seems you are outgrowing current conditions and opportunities for growth and expansion are afoot. I get that by the end of August, the next steps are clear, it will be your choice to walk through them.  Wishing you all the best for your future.

Question
 Hi Liz, my husband has a very stressful job and things are not going okay at the moment. Do you see improvement in his current work environment or a change in career? This is really effecting his health, he is not seeing that he is going in depression. Thank you for all you positive energy. Yolanda

Answer
Hi Yolanda, I understand its difficult to watch those we love in pain but this is something only he can change. Keep loving and supporting him and he will soon realise that he deserves more and then attract new opportunities. I feel he is working through some deeper issues internally and that this job has been the catalyst to bring things to the surface for healing. This is a stage he goes through that brings wisdom but definitely a temporary one. Keep the faith, all will be well.

Question
I am feeling lost at the moment and wondering what’s installed for me work wise in the near future? Debbie

Answer 
Dear Debbie, I feel your concern and worry and I sense there is an older gentleman in Spirit around you who was very kind and loving, either a Dad or a Grandad. He called you popsie, or something like that. He said anyone who gets you as their employee is a lucky indeed and start owning your power girl! You can stay in your current job as long as you want or manifest new opportunities. Trust your gut and ignore the negative talk around you. You have a beautiful light and help more people than you realise.


Question
 I am working on an art commission which is not going well. Will it work out? Zoya

Answer
Dear Zoya, 
This situation is testing your self confidence and creating an opportunity to dig deep. I feel your loved ones in Spirit and Spirit Guides working with you. An American Indian guide around you wears brown fur (Bear maybe?) and he says not to focus on the outcome so much but bring yourself into the present moment and work from the heart, not from the stress. If you can find the discipline and strength to get centered whilst doing this project, they will work through you. Give it over to Spirit and face the the fear of the worst outcome, and at the end of the day you will see that you are indeed a beacon of light for Spirit and that is what matters. All will work out exactly as it is meant to. Sending prayers  

Question
Does Spirit have any messages for me? Davey

Answer
Dear Davey, I sense mother and brothers around you in Spirit with champagne and symbols of celebrating. I sense there is good news around money or career for either you or your partner. They love something you have been creating lately, something creative with your hands, maybe with wood? They love it when you and your partner go away for a weekend, even if it is not far away, live and enjoy they are saying, your light helps many. Cheers

Question
 Can my guides and angels please tell me how the future looks with S? We know we are soul mates, and the road has always been so very hard. will it ease up? Anonymous

Answer
Dear Anonymous
road you two are walking is at times intense but and I feel there are many around you in Spirit guiding you both. Your challenge is to bring out the best in each other and I feel you will get through this current phase soon.  I see you both arriving in a place of peace with each other mainly because neither of you want to walk away, that you will work it out. Keep praying and asking for help as you have been and things will improve. Also some self care time out for you could be helpful but I guess you know that, even small things make a difference. Best wishes

2019 Mid Year Review

What is the most challenging thing going on in your life right now?

An interesting question to ask yourself and a great conversation starter.

Whenever I ask someone that question, I see an immediate deep in thought expression, but only for a few moments and then the flood gates open as they describe, often in detail something that was on the surface of their mind driving them nuts.

Seriousness turns to relief and then relief turns to solution focused antidotes, all from their own inner wisdom that was sitting quietly in the background, trying to get their attention. I believe the voice of love and truth are often quiet and the voice of fear and doubt are louder. So once we start to express,  the fear voice expels and makes room for the love voice to emerge.

My most challenging thing going on in my life right now?

Well 2019 has been a bit of a doozer so far.

My family and I relocated interstate after 23 years of country life to city life, my mother has almost died twice, (albeit she is 92), one of my children has come out as transgender, (he says he doesn't care who knows, just doesn't want anyone to make a big deal about it) and recently we were told that our landlords want their house back after 4 months so we have to move again.

When the clock ticked over to 2019, I was suspicious of the 9, which represents learning, the end of things and letting go. There are also some powerful astrological aspects about, including Saturn and Pluto in the sign of Capricorn that is forcing the world to wake up and change, because, lets face it,  it has to.

So in our own lives, it appears we are being presented with accelerated learning opportunities and yes I do mean opportunities. Everything that happens is a vehicle for growth even if it seems torturous and unfair.  The power we have is to realise we can ask Spirit for help, we can ask for help from others creating more support and connection, we can try to see the gifts in the most difficult challenges.

For me, the gift of being thrown out of my comfort zone by moving to the city is making me expand who I thought I was.  My mother tinkering close to death has made me appreciate how long I have had her in my life and reinstated my appreciation of life being short. My son coming out is proving to be the best thing for him as he seems happier not having to keep a secret, which of course as a parent makes me happy.  Our new rental home we are moving to is actually nicer than the one we are currently in.

At the end of the day, in the truest sense, who we are is light, who we truly are is a bright beautiful soul inhabiting this temporary body. Who we truly are is whole and complete and unscathed from absolutely anything. If we can allow the light within to dominate, to lead and inspire us, our life experience will be enriched. It doesn't mean we wont feel pain, disappointment or a range of human experiences, but it does mean we will be comforted, more consciously guided and open to miracles.

There are two eclipses in the month of July. Eclipses are catalysts for inner and outer shifts in meaningful and powerful ways, they literally shine a light on any dark spots in our lives giving us the opportunity to grow and move forward where we have been stuck. A good article for more info here

https://foreverconscious.com/intuitive-astrology-forecast-for-july-2019?fbclid=IwAR0CG5XSzDG8cG4abeI91AA6wBOHGtrhrbAg6N1yR5y5EpdNoBAs63mbKjM

So forward march, hold fast, have faith and never forget you are a light, a soul and a power house made from love.

Feel free to express your most challenging thing in your life at the moment in the comments below.

Thank you all for supporting my work, I send you kind thoughts and loving wishes!

Question
I search  many years for my great love, my man, who maybe marries me even. I am dead sad, because I miss him endlessly, although I know not, whether he exists. Can you see him? If yes, if he exists, where and how shall I finding him? Can you seeing anything?Cindy

Answer 
Dear Cindy,
I literally could feel your heart aching when I read your email and I send you much compassion and love. I believe meeting a soul mate is a divine appointment that we have no control over, although once we meet, free will is active and it is up to the two people what they do with it. If I was you I would give it over to Spirit, and surrender it to a greater power. Focus on what makes you happy because happiness attracts happiness. When I tune in, I sense a fatherly man around you in Spirit reassuring you that all is well. I sense there is a special person for you as you are special. They do exist, it just hasn't been the right time or place but it will be when you least expect it. They are kind and gentle and will treat you with respect. 

Question

 I have been stressed financially for a long time and hope that soon I will actually be able to save money. Does Spirit have a message for me regarding this?  Zoya. 

Answer
Dear Zoya, there are many in Spirit around you who send their love, it felt like a party over there around you. I see birthday cakes and celebrations. I feel there is some reason to be excited about extra income and they show me August being a time for relief around finances. Keep believing and release worry energy, get ready to receive!

Question 

 Will I have my own children in the future? Maddie

Answer 
Dear Maddie
I am greeted by a lovely woman in Spirit around you who feels likes a guardian angel. She is dressed in purple and has purple flowers in her hair and comes through on a high vibration. She says you a sensitive soul and would make a great mother as you have so much love to give. She shows me children of your own and says it is written in the stars and will happen at the perfect time. 

Question

Dear Angels,

Thanks for being there for me and for your guidance.My life is in a big turning point as you know. New job place and new house are giving me a new challenging energy and I'm very grateful.

I wish my mum could come through now and be my Cupid Angel as she always loved to be and use one of her arrows for my love life as I really wish one can be used now.

The guy next to me since more than one year is giving me a lot of support in moving here which I am very grateful for. However he did surprise me now by telling me he is sure we can just be friends.

I'm looking for clearance from you as this is making me so confused again like a year ago,the difference this time is that I just realised I love him and at a point in my life I need him most. Elena

Answer
Dear Elena
Your mother in Spirit and your angels love you dearly and understand how challenging this is for you right now. They say that this guy in your life is your biggest teacher right now and the transformation and change through knowing him is healing very deep wounds. You will look back at this time later and it will make much more sense. He is there for you but cannot give romantic love but do know that he does love you in a sincere way.  I feel the lesson is about surrendering and letting go, trusting that all your needs will be met even if it is not in the way you would like it to be. There is much love ahead for you, have faith that you are perfect as you are, there is nothing wrong with you but there is a bigger plan playing out right now. You have made the right choice by moving.

A Lost Healing Art

Image Credit Hanna Barczyk for NPR

The lady who sat before me was  beaming enthusiastic gratitude. Her large green eyes danced with light and even her blonde hair seemed to look brighter than when she first arrived.

Her previous sunken posture was now sitting upright and looked ready to take on the world.

As she thanked me profusely, I smiled inside. It had been difficult for me to get a word in during our coaching session. This lovely lady had talked non stop.  I heard a quiet voice within say, she just needed someone to listen.

I have learned over the years that a crucial part of healing is listening. Not just acknowledging, 'oh yeah? really mmm,' but really listening to one another from our heart, from a place of compassion.

Sadly, it seems that listening is a bit of a lost art.  We all need to be heard and we all need validation.  Many of us didn't receive that sort of respect as a child, so we grew up thinking we weren't worthy of it.  Yet, if we want that respect, surely it makes sense that we also give it.

If you are having conflict with someone, chances are one of you or both of you are feeling unheard. Sure, if may be way more complex that that, given the unique circumstances, but by placing ourselves in the others shoes, even for a moment, we invite breakthrough.

People tend to soften when they know someone cares and takes a genuine interest in them. Defense mechanisms are let down, and there is space for insight and epiphanies.  Such a little investment for a big return.

In a world of endless scrutiny, listening without judgement is truly an underestimated healing tool.

The good news is, its pretty simple  With the risk of sounding condescending, below are few basic tips, that serve as a reminder, myself included.

• Body language and eye contact will create an atmosphere where someone will feel either safe or unsafe to express. It helps if we are aware how we show up.  Arms crossed and giving demon looks to your partner is not the most loving atmosphere for them to express their true feelings.
• Listen without judgement and repeat what you have heard, allowing the person to know you are listening.  If you heard wrong, they can then correct you.
• Validate. Extract something you heard that is somehow a compliment or encouraging. Even if you don't like what you are hearing, you could say, I commend you on your honesty. This will encourage them to continue to open up.
• Stay centered and calm as possible. By holding a calm and peaceful space for the person, you can allow their own self healing energy to emerge.
• Avoid trying to fix anything This can be challenging if you are like me and love to find answers to problems. Once the layers of expression become activated, solutions often naturally arise for the person who is expressing them self.  Throwing in your opinions and well meaning advice can make the person you are listening to feel like you are not hearing them. Only talk to reflect what you have heard, to validate or encourage.
• Take turns to listen  If you are working on a close relationship, make a pact that you will give blocks of space to listen to each other.

Even using one of these tips next time you feel like throttling someone or perhaps when a needy friend turns up, may have a positive impact.  You can save yourself a lot of stress and conflict. Once someone feels heard, neediness leaves, anger melts and peace can be found.

Have a great June!

Below are some of your questions answered. If you would like to ask a question, email me at info@lizwintermedium.com I publish my Blog on the first Monday of each month.

Question
Dear Spirit, could you please give me clear guidance on my relationship with my partner as and some of my kids have issues? Kris

Answer

I sense so many around you in Spirit enveloping you in love. I particularly feel female, motherly, nurturing energy. The fact that you are asking for clear guidance and putting out that intention, gives me the sense that they will be downloading clarity to you any moment now, if not already.

I am reminded of the quote 'One cannot solve a problem with the same mind that created it' (Einstein)
I feel what they mean by that is that your learning around this situation is to stay centered in high energy and from that place, solutions will appear. This is easier said than done I know, but if nothing else, pray, pray and keep praying. Spirit cannot interfere with your free will and cannot tell you what course of action to take.  What they can tell you is they are holding you in their arms 100 per cent and totally trust that you will come from your heart when making choices.

 I do sense time out could be helpful, that is getting some space from your partner even for a short time, like a day or two. I feel its confusing for you when you are around them at the moment and clarity comes easier in your down time. I also saw you surrounded by beautiful Daisies. 

Question

 I am really looking after my physical body but often have periods of feeling exhausted, is this exhaustion related to something on the physical, mental, emotional or spiritual ? What can I do to transform it. Miss S

Answer 
I have a lovely kind gentleman in Spirit around you, looks a little like a Tibetan man, I assume a spirit guide.   He is humourous, warm and kind. He points out the middle area of your back and is projecting healing there.  The chakra centre associated with that area of the body, as you know, is the heart centre.  I feel like some energy is a little blocked there and by focusing on heart healing, you will gain more energy. I also get that Reiki, Acupuncture or simply placing your hands on your heart often help to unblock the energy.


Question 
  I would love to know what you see. Have I truly turned the corner? Am I safe and can face my new future without fear?  Josie

Answer 
There is a wonderful, strong woman in Spirit who has a loud laugh and brings through much optimism and joy. I feel she is either mother or mothers side of the family.  She is so proud of your achievements and says it is time to celebrate.  Yes, you have turned a corner and yes, you can move forward fearlessly! Well done, be ready to receive.



Question
I have been going through so much stress I think I’m doing well then bam, another huge hurdle it’s been years.  I’m now jobless n homeless but have places to stay. I have a huge dog, we just want to be settled. When do you see us being in a place that we can call home ?  Amy n Lido 

Answer 
As I tune in I see huge rainbows around you and feel it is a lovely sign from Spirit. Whatever it is you have had to learn from being jobless and homeless is almost learned.  There is gold at the end of the rainbow! I saw a home in the countryside, it may be a small place on someones farm/property but it's perfect for you and Lido. I feel you will hear of this through word of mouth. There may be an exchange of energy for rent on this farm, or it may be an option. This could happen out of the blue and quite quickly, be ready for change soon. 



Question
 How long until I find love? I deeply desire a life playmate. All other areas of my life is awesome.  Anonymous

Answer 
As I tuned in I couldn't seem to get anything around love for you so I turned to my Archangel Michael cards as I know Archangel Michael is always truthful! The card that came up is called 'Let Go of Fear,' it says: 'You are going in the right direction, you deserve  all that is good, allow yourself to receive love,support and abundance, you are lovable! '
I am sure you have already scanned your self for past patterns and fear of love but perhaps double check if there is any thing more you can do to invite love in. I also get a sense that your next partner will not be anything like you have had in the past, so the key is really to be open to a brand new beginning, and brand new 'types'  when it comes to love. I know you asked 'when' but am not being told when, I guess we are not meant to know everything. Be happy, the universe is always on time!

Moving On From A Crazy Bitch Called Fear

It starts somewhere in my stomach, an uncomfortable murmur, a hidden slump, like something

Moving on and flying higher

sinking that is slippery that I can't control.....and then the thoughts begin that are like hacksaws biting into my peace, my stillness...the thoughts build up into a mighty crescendo and I have reached top level panic....and then the thoughts try hard to reverse ....to soothe, to comfort, but its too late, the panic has hold and I now need a bottle of Emergency Flower Essence to accompany me on the rocky road home to trust, peace and tranquility.

I am talking about fear, I am talking about anxiety that I feel most of us have experienced at least once, or maybe daily.  I think I am at a point in my life that I am over going to war with fear, trying to control it, trying to soothe it, trying to eliminate it. I have tried it all and they all temporary fixes.

My new strategy is acknowledging it, and then ignoring it.  Like a toddler throwing a tantrum, they will calm down if you don't give them much energy. When you fuss over them, their tantrum accelerates, finally they are getting the attention they seek.  Its like waiting for a storm to pass, it will pass.

When I can stay objective, observe the fear and see it for what it is, it is in that crucial interim that I have a choice. I know it may not be easy at first to stay objective, but with enough panic attacks under your belt, practice and recognition of the early signs of fear, it can be done.

 I then have this choice to enter into alternative levels of panic or I can just breathe and trust.  I like to put my hand on my heart and go quiet and focus on my breath, I feel my deeper being, the light within, the true me.  The fear covers this up, but only transparently, the true 'us' is always there, breathing us alive. I might say a prayer like,  Dear Spirit, Please help me to release my fear based thoughts around this thing I am panicking about.

I deserve Peace

There is something magical that can happen when we consciously connect with the power of the Spirit, the Spirit within and the Spirit that is everywhere. Its a wave length of consciousness that is so loving, familiar and welcoming. Fear can simply not exist in its conscious awareness.  In fact, feeling fear can actually be an opportunity to bring us back home to who we truly are.

I don't always get it right, but I am moving forward and ready to move on from a crazy bitch called fear.

May you all have a merry merry month of May!

Question

 Am I just dreaming that he loves me? Can I get healed totally after a break-up, if I decided to finish the relationship with my boyfriend?  Miss H

Answer

I sense a great deal of support around you from Spirit and they know it has been difficult for you for awhile now.  I do sense that your boyfriend cares for you but that he has his own issues, as we all do,  and can only love you as much as he can in his own way.

What you see is what you get, I don't feel he will change in the way he loves, at least not now, so your choice is can you live with that or in your gut, is it time to move on? Each relationship, no matter how tough leaves us with insights and deepens our wisdom, so yes I believe you can heal if you choose to move on.  This is an opportunity to trust your gut feelings and do what you feel serves you. You do deserve love!  Keep praying and asking for guidance, I feel that in the next few months, you are feeling more sure of what you want. Sending you love and prayers 

Question 

 What do you see for me and my partner in the near future. Maddie

Answer 

I am shown a country residence, beautiful greenery and ancient trees and energy. Perhaps you guys are thinking of moving this year ? I feel there is a loving elderly man in Spirit around you that is encouraging you to try new things, new interests.  I also have another flash of you and your partner on a boat and laughing.  I feel the message is have fun, follow your heart and enjoy each other, the path ahead will unfold but at the same time, make choices that make you happy.

Shape Shifting in a Modern World

Traffic can sound like an ocean hum! Photo taken at Waikiki Honolulu

I was distracted by random thoughts as I walked along the tree lined path at 5pm on a Wednesday afternoon.  Somewhere in the background there was a humming sound that was getting louder with each step forward.  Finally I acknowledged the sound. It was because I was walking closer to the M5 freeway in peak hour traffic.

 For a few moments, the tree lined path looked duller as my thoughts focused on the pollution I may now be breathing....but then the thought popped into my mind, the sound of the traffic actually sounds like the ocean. Well, yes it actually did!  The moment I owned this thought, my body responded, I felt an extra skip in my step and a sense of relief.  Yes, I like that, I decided, from now on when I hear the hum of peak hour traffic, I will pretend it is the ebb and flow of the ocean.

They say (whoever they are) that what and how we perceive people, places, emotions and things becomes our reality, our experience.  We do have a choice, is the glass half full or half empty? When we choose alternative realities, are we we just in denial, putting our fingers in our ears and going nananananananananana?

Well the way I see it, I am here in my body for a limited time. Through the power of choice, I have a certain amount of control over the quality of my experience here.  It seems the strongest muscle we possess is our mind. It is a powerful force we have only scratched the surface of.  We can let the mind control us or we can become its keeper, giving it direction that will benefit us and ultimately those around us.

Thoughts have energy.  When we don't get the result we were hoping for, we can see it as failure or entertain the thought that perhaps we are being redirected.  Maybe there is an even better way forward, or an improved outcome. Which thought makes us feel better? When we are tired we can say, omg I feel like crap or we can say, my body is recharging at the moment. Its obvious the latter feels more energising.

So if I am in denial when I hear the peak hour traffic, so be it, I would rather create an ocean reality. If I look in the mirror and I focus on a spark in my eyes rather than the wrinkles, so be it.   To me, its not so much a matter of denial as it is of re focusing on what gives me energy and joy.

So I leave you to ponder, what is it in your life or in your mind, that you could reinvent the way you are perceiving that would benefit you?

Once we can identify and shift a stubborn, self deflating mindset, we radiate a positive energy that can attract amazing and wonderful things.

Have a fantastic April !

Below are some of your questions answered. If you would like to ask a question, email me at info@lizwintermedium.com I publish my Blog on the first Monday of each month.

Question

I was recently forced to leave my job and am in the process of finding a new one. This search has been ongoing for more than 7 weeks now and I am loosing confidence in my abilities and faith that a job will eventually come along. Can you put my mind at ease, will I find employment soon? Katrina

Answer

First of all I sensed a feeling of congratulations coming from Spirit, which I know may seem strange, but I sense it was such the right thing to do to move on. A redirection for the next phase of life.  The reason you have not yet found a job is simply because the right opportunity that matches your energy has not been present, but rest assure, it will not be long. I sensed you needed a bit of time to re group and get some things done in your life.  I know its easy for Spirit to philosophize while we here on earth need cash! However, they reassure that all your needs will be met and I feel that in May and June you are very active and I see dollar signs around you. There also seems to be thoughts of self employment, and I want to say to hold those thoughts, even if now isn't the right time.

Please forgive the red text, cannot seem to figure out how to change it!

Question

Due to my health concerns, I am struggling to keep up the maintenance on the land I am living on. I am wondering if I should rent out a space in return for help and reduced rent? Is there something I should be doing that I am not doing at the moment?  Anonymous

Answer 

I sense a father figure around you strongly who is very good with business and a get things done person. He knows you are trying your best and are concerned about the future. He says to tell you that B sends her love and is close to animals in the Spirit World and around your pets a lot. Don't stress they both say. Help is on the way. I see you advertising somewhere local and getting the right person. Maybe a local fb page. The father figure in Spirit suggests that you become clear  about what sort of person you want to attract and what the ground rules will be. Once you get clear and put it out there, I feel you attract the perfect person and it will be a situation that suits you both.  Also I am hearing them say not to over do things,even though certain tasks may be annoying you and need doing.  I also get in the interim that there is someone lending you a hand from their heart, perhaps a friend or relative. Also, I am shown happy news for a young family member.

Question

My kitty is having eye surgery soon and of course my concern is high that she will be okay? Zoya

Answer

I am shown a lovely older woman, perhaps a mum, in Spirit looking out for your pussy cat and giving you lots of reassurance that you cat is smart and resilient. I sense the upcoming surgery will go well and will give peace to you and puss. Also I am shown May you seem like a burden has lifted, all will be well.

Question

After 11 years of grief and loss following the sudden death of my beloved, I have finally met someone truly special. It’s early days and I wonder if this has the potential to be a loving relationship. Misha

Answer

I sense a lovely man around you in Spirit who is very excited and happy for you. Its sounds a bit silly but I see you either roller blading or perhaps skating with a partner and laughing a lot. If this is not literal, I assume it is symbolic.  I feel that the message is to have fun and joy together and enjoy the now without getting too caught up in the future. It will unfold beautifully and naturally, it feels very good! The other message I hear is that is safe to let your guard down. Traveling with this person is on the cards.

 

Question

We have recently sold our house and settlement takes place in a few weeks but we currently do not have a home to go to, we were red flagged and the bank would not approve our home loan on some conditions,which we are hoping we can address in a couple of weeks, my question is will we end up getting the country home we are currently moving forward with and will our loan be approved in the 15 days. I understand everything happens for a reason and we obviously we're not meant to get the first house we applied for but with animals and children and no where we can all go it's becoming very stressful.  Kelly

Answer

I totally understand how stressful this must be for you and your family and my heart goes out to you. Spirit says, do know that all your needs will be meet however it plays out.   I feel that there is a middle aged woman in Spirit who left earth a little early, possibly connected to your partner's side of the family, who has you and your family's back.  Be patient and good news will come, even if it is cutting it very fine. I do see a country home for you, not sure if it will work out the way you expect, but it will work out! Keep the faith and keep asking Spirit and the angels to help you to trust the way forward. A happy outcome is assured.

 

Question

What sort of part time work do you see me doing and when do see you see me successfully getting a part time job? I have been out of work for almost 3 years (3 years this July) and financially my family needs me to get part time work.  Miss E

Answer 

I feel that there is a gentleman around you in Spirit, perhaps a grandfather. He says that you have been looking in the wrong places for employment, not sure exactly what he means but I think he means the type of work. I see you working with animals might suit you. Have you thought of doing a dog grooming course? I think you would be happy doing something that was not mainstream, even though you could do anything you put your mind to. I do see some sort of study or training as part as the way forward. He suggests that you first get clear about what sort of work you want to do and then start taking small but definite steps to manifesting it, you got this !
