Noah The Dove




These little bunnies, about 6 days old, were attacked by a dog and orphaned. Two out of the litter of five did not survive, and these three were not doing very well.





Noah is a non-releasable, one-legged homing pigeon/rock dove that is in the rehab centre. Noah kept going over to the bunny cage and looking in -- even sleeping in front of the door to the cage.



Then, suddenly, there were only two bunnies in the cage.  But when Noah moved a bit from the front of the cage to everyone's surprise..there was the tiny bunny..under Noah's wing....sound asleep! That little bunny rabbit had crawled through the cage, preferring a featherbed, no doubt to snuggling up with its littermates!




Now, they are all together and the bunnies are doing GREAT. When the bunnies scoot underneath Noah's feathers, he carefully extends his wings out to surround them and then they snuggle.. When one of them moves and they start sticking out here and there, he gently pushes them back under him with his beak!  It is beautiful and amazing to see....

This is what God does with us when we need the warmth and love He offers. He gathers us under His loving wings to a warm cradle of protection. All we need do in return is give Him the thanks and praise for being with us.   God bless the readers of this message.

Message From Lord Raziel: Your Mission Of Service Is Unique

I greet you Dear Ones, with love, compassion and gratitude from the Most High. I approach you today with great joy, for your efforts have indeed borne beautiful fruit. During this last week, all of you were exposed to very high intensity energy that triggered you to take specific actions. Many of these you do not even consciously recall and this is the way of things quite often on your spiritual journey, when you honor your sacred agreement with The Creator. It is not essential in some cases that you do remember; what is important is that you have chosen and continue to choose a path that can often make no sense to you. Your willingness to do so has allowed a whole new set of souls to be awakened from slumber.

Let me explain.

Consider this analogy: You have worked at a specific job for several years and your efforts are noted, as is your ability to take on more responsibility. A competent boss will note your potential but will often make very little reference to this fact. Without your knowledge, however, that boss may look at your attendance record, how you relate to co-workers, your willingness to go the extra mile to ensure a task is complete and most of all, if you have the capacity to change and diversify. A position becomes vacant and there you are, being informed that an opening - a promotion of sorts - has appeared and you are being strongly considered for this new position.  Certainly, you may encounter an interview, possibly a detailed review of your job performance but, essentially, it has been your efforts to date that have brought you to this spot.

So, your are given the promotion and find yourself perhaps moving to a new office or even a new location. It is all quite exciting but by leaving your old job, you have created an opening that somebody must step in and fill. And here rests the point I wish to gently stress to you, Dear Ones. Your new duties often require some type of additional training or orientation, while the job you just vacated requires you to pass on your wisdom and experience to the one taking up that old position you held with such distinction. Can you see the relevance here? You are required to be both student and teacher and so it is with your continued journey on this ascension path. How you educate the incoming co-worker will have a lasting impression on them and influence them in some way. Will you be a taskmaster and display annoyance because they cannot grasp the finer points of the job as quickly as you did? Or will you choose to exercise patience and calm and give them every opportunity to learn and grow into that job at their own pace? Certainly, there can be other factors including time but generally, the choice of how you pass on your wisdom is entirely up to you.

Now let’s advance that scenario. A new job and a new area of growth and development has arrived. To your dismay, you find the person teaching you to be rude, opinionated and seemingly oblivious to the virtue of patience. It is a stressful orientation that can leave you wondering if the change was really worth this new level of anxiety and frustration. After all, you’re leaving behind co-workers that you understood and a job that you grew into and was comfortable for you. There is much to learn and it seems nothing you do is ever up to this person’s standards or expectations. This new teacher is displaying none of the patience that you think you deserve and frustration and resentment can set in quickly, even before you begin your new duties. You think to yourself: “The boss has chosen me, so I must have at least the rudimentary skills needed for this position. So why is this person making me reconsider my decision to accept it?”  

Now, Dear Ones,  think closely on this for it is essential that you understand some important components. You have all been chosen for a crucial task in this lifetime. Quite often, you are brought into new positions or stages of service where it seems you have barely the time to get oriented. New challenges arise with increasing frequency and intensity. Unlike the job, however, you were the one who made the choice to advance and it has been on a timetable established by your soul, your Higher Self. Certainly, The Great Creator presented you with the opportunity and your guides, teachers and mentors will ensure that you do receive the training and experience needed to fulfill your role but the choice always remains with you.

The greatest key of wisdom that I can offer you is to simply give up your expectations of how you think you should learn these important lessons. Trust in your own wisdom, for your Higher Self is not only an extension of you… it is you, and it is very aware of what is required for your advancement. You must understand that not everybody that you encounter as teachers will treat you with courtesy and respect and many wish to remain in a place of comfort and familiarity. When you arrive at their tier, or rung of the ladder, you are a reminder to them of the obligations they may have chosen not to fulfill. Send each one love and compassion and above all, express your gratitude for the opportunity they have presented you with to learn and grow.

One final point, Dear Ones, that bears mentioning. Always remember that your purpose is singularly unique. Nobody else in physical existence has the skills, talents, abilities or life experience to fulfill your exact role and mission of service. Many will come to you with necessary knowledge and will have expectations that you will apply this new wisdom exactly as they have. Many will even display displeasure or annoyance that you do not choose to do so. Rest assured, that each new nugget of insight you receive will be applied by you in manner that reflects your role, not theirs. Once again, I ask that you simply offer them your compassion and gratitude.

This last week has ushered in a very intense type of energy that has awakened many. A lot of you, as you have already been made fully aware, are now actively working on the higher planes during your sleep periods. Follow the suggestion you have been given and set an intent, every evening if you choose, to connect with these realms and the teachers and loved ones who reside there. It is extremely important that you begin to fully realize how truly interdimensional you are. And don’t forget, as well, Dear Ones, to request the occasional evening off to ensure your physical body is granted the chance to get a restful night’s sleep.

We are very pleased with your progress, Dear Ones. So many of you have chosen to honor your soul contracts and move on to places that are unfamiliar territory, despite the mounting obstacles that you encounter. Keep your energy high, continue to connect with others who walk the path of Light and be gentle with yourself. And most importantly, allow us, in the angelic realm, the privilege of assisting you. It has been often been said that while you may walk your personal path alone, you need not do it alone, Dear Ones. Know that you will succeed. I leave you with immense love and gratitude from our Great and Divine Creator and those of us in the angelic realm, who love you beyond measure.

(Channeled by Nick Nash - Nov. 15/09)

I am honored to be a recurring guest co-host on a radio show entitled Cathie's Distant Echos, which airs every Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings at 6 PM EST. If you've been experiencing some oddities in your life for several months - changes in sleeping or eating patterns, vivid dreams, wildly swinging emotions, unusual aches and pains or a sudden awareness of psychic gifts, to name a few - you will gain enormous benefit from these shows. These are all classic Ascension Symptoms and my aim, with the help of many of my Tutors, Mentors and Teachers - including Lord Raziel - is to bring some enlightnement and understanding to this process. You can also plan on receiving tips and strategies, as well as resources, to assist you in your journey of self-discovery. As His message this week says, we may walk our personal path alone, but we need not do it alone.

Namaste! Nick, the Bright Sorcerer 

Work is progressing on "The God/dess Remnant" at a reasonable pace and I am completing the final edits before publication in late November. In the meantime, you can sample some of my other work and I've listed some links below for your convenience.

Message From Lord Raziel

I greet you, Dear Ones, with great love, compassion, and immense gratitude from the Most High. I must also relay the enormous joy that is present in the angelic realms as this process that you term "ascension" continues to gain momentum. Through your efforts, many are opening their spiritual eyes for the first time and it is cause for great joy! For many months now - in some cases years - you have felt as though you have been on a cosmic rollercoaster. Periods of intense learning have occurred as so many of you choose the less traveled path. You choose to paddle against the resistance of the ever-increasing current of negativity around you. There are times when you wish it would all end and the process would be complete and we sympathize with you. Many of us who are assisting you as mentors, teachers, guides and protectors have often petitioned the Great Creator for the permission to reveal key aspects of your own individual situations. In many cases, these have been granted but with certain concessions. I wish to address you today about this so you can more fully comprehend the work we are doing on your behalf.

As you have been made aware, each sleep period provides you with an opportunity to obtain great pieces of the puzzle. While you may think that it is Us who orchestrate events in your life that are designed to help, it is really YOU who is at the helm. Yes, YOU, Dear Ones, are the master craftsmen of your experiences. Your soul essence, which dwells in the higher mental and spiritual planes is already very aware of your potential, your abilities and most importantly, your role and mission. Make no mistake, each of you have agreed to undertake a very specific mission to assist the whole of humanity during this ascension process. Many of you have gifts and abilities that you are only now becoming aware of and it can be a difficult time of adjustment. You can imagine a person who has sight removed from them, after having perfect vision their entire life. The adjustments are monumental and it takes little effort on your part to envision this.

Now imagine the reverse. The wonders that await many of you, as well as your potential ability to assist would fill your eyes with tears of joy, if you but knew. Through your own efforts to seek a closer relationship to us and our Great Creator, many of you have set aside old biases and preconceived notions, often at the expense of losing friendships that have existed for many years. Although small comfort in those times, know that it was you who made that decision because it was not only in your best interest but also because you were aware, on some level, of how crucial it was for your growth and development. Always remember, Dear Ones, the often quoted phrase of “When one door closes, another opens”. This is truth. You are never left without sufficient support and often you must let go of what no longer serves you. The key is to seek out and recognize the doors when they appear, both those closing and the ones providing the opportunities for you to advance a step closer to realizing your mission and purpose. Many of you experience intense anxiety and worry that you have no role to play but I tell you now this is not the case at all. Certainly you volunteered to be here, on this dense plane of existence, to assist all of humanity through this pivotal period, but you were also chosen by our Great and Divine Creator. Never forget that, Dear ones. Our Creator chose each of you specifically.

Many of you may question this, as you look outward at the illusory world around you and see such horrors and pain inflicted on your brothers and sisters and feel so helpless to assist. You must understand that all has its place. The dark is a crucial component to what is transpiring on your earth. Many have told you that it must be present for you to fully conceptualize the path of light. You were born to a world of duality that has existed for far longer than you have been led to believe and this conflict much more intense than you could fully imagine. Some of you are beginning to feel the stirrings of memory in your conscious mind as you look to a starry sky, watch the playful antics of the squirrels or react with compassion to a situation, even without conscious thought. You have all beheld beauty beyond imagining and know, deep within in a part of your consciousness that seems locked away, that this is not your true home. I ask you to not be dismayed at your inability to fully remember. You all understand the aspect of Divine Timing and what transpires as your physical body sleeps allows you to bring back small pieces of this memory. It requires time to integrate, to download as you would call it, before it becomes a part of you fully. Very often, it is triggered to your full consciousness when a new challenge arrives. New challenges require new solutions and many of you are fully aware of this and we, in the angelic realm, are ecstatic when you come to this realization. Allow yourself permission to seek for the answers within because it is the true you, what you term your Higher Self, that is assisting you.

I wish to conclude with a suggestion, for it is not my role to make demands. Your actions must be based on your own perceptions and understanding. A date of great power approaches, if you would choose to take advantage of it. As many of you are fully aware, numbers are often used as activators. As you have been told recently, it not unlike arranging a meeting with your friends. A time and day must be established and so it is when working with those in the higher dimensions. The date I refer to is known as 11/11/2009. A portal of great magnitude will be opened and the energy that will pour through will be intensely powerful. As with all of these openings, it is always your choice how to best utilize it. Most certainly it will arrive regardless of any actions you take so do not fear that you will “miss the boat” so to speak. However, the choice of how to integrate this energy is the question. You are all fully aware of the enormous power of words and intent. You can allow the energy of this portal to simply wash over you or you can choose how to direct it for your own healing and integration. It can be an opportunity for you to receive it and allow its effects to assist in your own understanding. The effects will be unique to the individual but many will find a new connection being established, with the emergence of new insights, awareness’s and abilities. Once again I gently remind you about Divine Timing, Dear Ones. It would be a severe strain on you, as a physical entity, to be given full awareness instantly. Your 3D brain is not capable as yet, to absorb that amount of information and be able to make sense of it all.

My suggestion to obtain the maximum benefit from the incoming energy is simply this. Find time, if only a few minutes, to stand or sit in a comfortable environment, where you will be undisturbed by the daily toil of your lives. Speak aloud or in your mind and request that your teachers, guides and mentors draw near and assist you in the integration. While the energy will become noticeable sooner to many of you, ensure that you place an intent to use it to not only assist you, but also your ability to assist humanity globally. Where possible, connect with others who are actively working in the Light and join their efforts. This energy is not simply for the Light Workers or Light Warriors, it is for all. Many who have been asleep will be awakened and will need you. Trust us to send those who need your wisdom and those who will also provide the wisdom and understanding you seek. Pay attention to your inner stirrings and suggestions that swim to your consciousness. These will provide the sign posts that you have been asking for and will need to help chart your course.

I will conclude with a single thought for you to ponder. Consider the instant love you feel for a newborn baby. You have never seen the child and yet your willingness to love and cherish that newborn is instant and without question. This is only a very miniscule percentage of the great love that is directed to you and in which you are held at all times, by our Great and Divine Creator and those of us who now serve as your tutors, teachers and protectors. We are immensely proud of you and know we will always work to ensure you are fully prepared for the tasks that your missions entail. Please remember this always, Dear Ones.

Every Friday, Saturday and Sunday evening at 5 PM EST,  I am a special guest on Cathie's Distant Echos. My main focus has been on Ascension Symptoms and Strategies, due largely to the emails and notes I've received requesting clarity and understanding of this pivotal period in our evolution and development as a species.

Lord Raziel: Spiritual Alchemy

See you in the ether ! 

Blessings and thank you for stopping by. Wednesday, September 23 marks the Autumn equinox - known as Mabon - this year. For information about this important pagan celebration and ways that you can celebrate, please click on the banner above. I am a guest on two radio shows this week and will include links and times at the end of this post, if you are interested. The subject matter will revolve around spirit communication and travel, connecting with Higher Self and, of course, a bit of magic and sorcery.

This is a bit of an odd post, largely because the lion's share wasn't written by me. I do prefer to include my own content and writing but in this case, the information below is extremely valuable and relevant. Certainly, any critic could explain away the symptoms described and that, in my estimation, reveals a great deal about the spiritual nature of the person. One aspect that is universal about people actively following a spiritual path - and I do not refer to religious mythology, dogma and  doctrine - is the acceptance that we are all free to choose a spiritual path that is uniquely our own. They do not feel the need to preach to anybody, imply superiority over another's beliefs or make any ridiculous assertions that their's is the "only way" to a rich and satisfying spiritual life.

The information below is very relevant, as I mentioned, in light of the massive amount of energy that has been reaching us over the last few months. While these outpourings were in part for those already on an ascension path, it also served to awaken many others. From my own experience, this can be a time of confusion and wildly shifting emotions. We have been brainwashed for so long to believe that religion was the only path to the Creator and yet, these same religions - namely Christianity and Islam - do not provide an adequate explanation of what is really going on now, both  globally and energetically... and not just on this plane of existence. Not only that but they shackle a person's spiritual evolution and understanding by making specific topics like psychic abilities, spirit communication with those beyond the Veil and even magic taboo and label them as the "Devil's work". It is not my intention to simply disparage religion. If a belief system assists you in being a better person and promotes unity instead of seperation - without causing harm or injury to others in ANY way - then you have found your spiritual path and truth and you have my respect.  

With the most recent opening of the 9/9/09 portal, many of us were overwhelmed with a variety of symptoms, many of them quite intense. My own experience has been considerable discomfort in various parts of my body - physically and emotionally. One major realization that many who are awakening have is an urgent need to begin clearing out aspects of our lives that no longer serve us or are a detriment to our spiritual progression. Unfortunately, this can cause considerable panic, anxiety and worry. It means we are required to make changes and many are uncomfortable with change. This is unavoidable, no matter how much we wish it not to be. And to complicate matters, our Guides often present challenges that force us to see these areas and life can become quite intense. If you're experiencing difficulty with this, my very good friend Dorothy Holder has some suggestions on how to deal on her site Energy Therapies.

The final point I wanted to make, before presenting the list of symptoms, is simply this. We are all here with one of our primary purposes being to experience a very distinct and unique reality for the Creator. Obviously there are other factors but the key word above is "unique". Pertaining to our choice of spiritual paths, this also applies. Any attempt by any religion to stilt a person's spiritual growth and exploration is nothing more than an attempt at control and manipulation. Our right to choose that path comes from the Highest Source, simply because we are all sparks of the Creator. If a belief system causes discomfort or concern it is imperative that we each look at that seriously. We all possess special gifts, including the ability to receive guidance and direction from our Guides and Angels in our own unique way. Many of us are becoming aware of this connection as a very valid and valuable source of wisdom. Whether one acknowledges it or not, this is fact. Simply saying it doesn't exist proves nothing, especially if the argument is that it isn't in the Bible, Koran or related "holy" books. And please don't buy into the damaging, deceitful and erroneous propoganda that searching for your path, outside of the church, and communicating with Guides, Ascended Masters and Angels is evil or "devil inspired". That inner yearning for more clarity and understanding of yourself, as a spiritual being, is a certain sign that you are embarking on a journey that brings you one step closer to joining with your Higher Self or Over Soul and our omni-conciousness. The Ascension Process is about integration and learning how to integrate these very powerful energies reaching us from some very high dimensions. We are in the process of evolving into a new form of being which the Hopi referred to as "Homo Luminus". Nobody is immune and nobody can shield themselves from this energy. The choice we have is to learn how to make the necessary changes and cope with the following symptoms or we try to ignore them.

Always remember that our unique spiritual truth is just as valid as that of Billy Graham or the Pope.

Symptoms Of Ascension And Spiritual Awakening

1. Changing sleep patterns: restlessness, hot feet, waking up two or three times a night. Feeling tired after you wake up and sleepy off and on during the day. There is something called the Triad Sleep Pattern that occurs for many: you sleep for about 2-3 hours, wake up, go back to sleep for another couple of hours, wake again, and go back to sleep again. For others, the sleep requirements have changed. You can get by on less sleep. Lately I have been experiencing huge waves of energy running into my body from the crown. It feels good, but it keeps me awake for a long time, then subsides. Advice: Get used to it. Make peace with it and don't worry about getting enough sleep (which often causes more insomnia). You will be able to make it through the day if you hold thoughts of getting just what you need. You can also request your Higher Power to give you a break now and then and give you a good, deep night's sleep. If you can't go back to sleep right away, use the waking moments to meditate, read poetry, write in your journal or look at the moon. Your body will adjust to the new pattern.

2. Activity at the crown of the head: Tingling, itching, prickly, crawling sensations along the scalp and/or down the spine. A sense of energy vibrating on top of the head, as if energy is erupting from the head in a shower. Also the sensation of energy pouring in through the crown, described as "sprinkles". This may also be experienced as pressure on the crown, as if someone is pushing his/her finger into the center of your head. As I mentioned in #1, I have been experiencing huge downloads of energy through the crown. In the past, I have felt more generalized pressure, as if my head is in a gentle vise. One man related that his hair stood on end and his body was covered with goosebumps. Advice: This is nothing to be alarmed about. What you are experiencing is an opening of the crown chakra. The sensations mean that you are opening up to receive divine energy.

3. Sudden waves of emotion. Crying at the drop of a hat. Feeling suddenly angry or sad with little provocation. Or inexplicably depressed. Then very happy. Emotional roller coaster. There is often a pressure or sense of emotions congested in the heart chakra (the middle of the chest). This is not to be confused with the heart, which is located to the left of the heart chakra. Advice: Accept your feelings as they come up and let them go. Go directly to your heart chakra and feel the emotion. Expand it outward to all your fields and breathe deeply from the belly all the way up to your upper chest. Just feel the feeling and let it evaporate on its own. Don't direct the emotions at anyone. You are cleaning out your past. If you want some help with this, say out loud that you intend to release all these old issues and ask your Higher Power or your Guides and Angels to help you. You can also ask the Creator directly to help you release with ease and gentleness. Be grateful that your body is releasing these emotions and not holding onto them inside where they can do harm. One source suggests that depression is linked to letting go of relationships to people, work, etc. that no longer match us and our frequencies. When we feel guilty about letting go of these relationships, depression helps us medicate that pain.

4. Old "stuff" seems to be coming up, as described above, and the people with whom you need to work it out (or their clones) appear in your life. Completion issues. Or perhaps you need to work through issues of self-worth, abundance, creativity, addictions, etc. The resources or people you need to help you move through these issues start to appear. Advice: Same as #3. Additionally, don't get too involved in analyzing these issues. Examining them too much will simply cycle you back through them over and over again at deeper and deeper levels. Get professional help if you need to and walk through it. Do not try to avoid them or disassociate yourself from them. Embrace whatever comes up and thank it for helping you move ahead. Thank your Higher Power for giving you the opportunity to release these issues. Remember, you don't want these issues to stay stuck in your body.

5. Changes in weight. The weight gain in the US population is phenomenal. Other people may be losing weight. We often gain weight because many fears we have suppressed are now coming up to the surface to be healed. We react by building up a defense. We also attempt to ground ourselves or provide bulk against increasing frequencies in our bodies. Advice: Don't freak out, but just accept it as a symptom of where you are right now. You will release/gain the weight when all your fears have been integrated. Release your anxiety about this. Then you might find it easier to lose/gain the weight eventually. Exercise. Before eating, try this: Sit at the table with an attractive place setting. Light a candle. Enjoy how the food looks. Place your dominant hand over your heart and bless the food. Tell your body that you are going to use the food to richly nourish it, but that you are not going to use the food to fulfill your emotional hungers. Then pass your hand from left to right over the food and bless it. You may notice that the food feels warm to your hand even if the food is cold-- I like to think that the food is good for me when it feels warm and nourishing to my hand. I have also noticed that when I practice blessing the food, I don't eat as much. It is important not to let yourself off the hook when you forget to bless the food before you eat. If I've forgotten and I've nearly finished eating, I bless the food anyway. That way I don't slip out of the habit. Another thing you can do is to stay present while eating -- don't watch TV or read. Heartily enjoy what blessings are before you.

6. Changes in eating habits: Strange cravings and odd food choices. Some find they are not as hungry as they used to be. Or hungrier. Advice: Don't deny what your body tells you it needs. If you are not sure, you might try muscle-testing before you chose a food to see if it's what your body wants. Also try blessing the food as described in #5.

7. Food intolerances, allergies you never had before: As you grow more spiritual, you are more sensitive to everything around you. Your body will tell you what it can no longer tolerate, as if it, too, is sloughing off what doesn't serve it anymore. You might be cleansing yourself of toxins. Some people find they often have a white residue in their mouth, much like that of runners at the end of a race. Advice: An acupuncturist told me that this film can be removed by sloshing 2 tablespoons of cold-pressed olive oil in your mouth for 10-15 minutes (don't swallow, whatever you do), then spitting it out into the toilet -- not the sink, for you just removed toxins from your body and don't want them in the sink. Brush your teeth and do the same. Then clean your brush. (Sorry this is yukky, but it works.)

8. Amplification of the senses. Increased sensitivity. 8a. Sight: Blurry vision, shimmering objects, seeing glittery particles, auras around people, plants, animals, and objects. Some report seeing formerly opaque objects as transparent. When you close your eyes, you no longer see darkness, but redness. You may also see geometric shapes or brilliant colors and pictures when eyes are closed. Colors appear more vivid -- the sky might look teal or the grass an amazing green. Often I see grids running across the ground. As you become more sensitive, you may see shapes or outlines in the air, especially when the room is almost dark. When your eyes are open or closed, you may see white shapes in your peripheral vision (these are your guides). Advice: Your vision is changing in many ways -- you are experiencing new ways of seeing. Be patient. Whatever you do, do not be afraid. Hazy vision maybe relieved by yawning. 8b. Hearing: Increased or decreased hearing. I once thought I would have to pull off the road because of the painfully amplified sound of my tires on the freeway. Other symptoms are hearing white noise in the head, beeps, tones, music or electronic patterns. Some hear water rushing, bees buzzing, whooshing, roaring or ringing. Others have what is called audio dyslexia-- you can't always make out what people are saying, as if you can no longer translate your own language. Some hear strange voices in their dreams, as if someone is hovering near them. You can either ask the presence(s) to leave or ask Archangel Michael to take care of the situation. Again, there is nothing to fear. Advice: Surrender to it. Let it come through. Listen. Your ears are adjusting to new frequencies. 8c. Enhanced senses of smell, touch, and/or taste. I notice I can now smell and taste chemical additives in some foods in a rather unpleasant manner. Other food may taste absolutely wonderful. For some people, these enhancements are both delightful and distracting. You might even smell the fragrance of flowers now and then. Many of the mystics did. Enjoy it.

9. Skin eruptions: Rashes, bumps, acne, hives, and shingles. Anger produces outbreaks around the mouth and chin. I had a dermatitis on my extremities for several months that accompanied healing an episode from my past. When I had worked through most of the issue, the condition was released. Advice: You may be sloughing off toxins and bringing emotions to the surface. When there is an issue to be released and you are trying to repress it, your skin will express the issue for you until you process the emotions. Work through your "stuff".

10. Episodes of intense energy which make you want to leap out of bed and into action. Followed by periods of lethargy and fatigue. The fatigue usually follows great shifts. This is a time of integration, so give into it. Advice: Roll with the nature of the energy. Don't fight it. Be gentle with yourself. Take naps if you are tired. Write your novel if you are too energized to sleep. Take advantage of the type of energy.

11. Changes in prayer or meditation. Not feeling the same sensations as before. Not having the same experience of being in contact with Spirit. Difficulty in focusing. Advice: You may be in more instant and constant communion with Spirit now and the sensation may therefore be altered. You will adapt to this new feeling. You are actually thinking and acting in partnership with Spirit most of the time now. You may find your meditation periods shorter.

12. Power surges: All of a sudden you are heated from head to toe. It is a momentary sensation, but uncomfortable. In contrast, some people have felt inexplicably cold. I have experienced both. More recently I experience waves or currents of energy rolling through me. Sometimes the energy seems so intense when it first comes into my body that I feel a little nauseated. But if I think of the energy as divine and let go of fear, I feel wonderful and enjoy the sensation. If you are an energy worker, you may have noticed that the heat running through your hands has increased tremendously. This is good. Advice: If you are uncomfortable, ask your Higher Power, that if it be for your best and highest good, to turn down/up the temperature a bit.

13. A range of physical manifestations: Headaches, backaches, neck pains, flu-like symptoms (this is called vibrational flu), digestive problems, muscular spasms or cramps, racing heartbeat, chest pains, changes in sexual desire, numbness or pain in the limbs, and involuntary vocalizations or bodily movements. Some of us have even had old conditions from childhood reappear briefly for healing. Advice: Remember what I said about seeking medical help if you need it! If you have determined that this is not a medical condition, relax in the realization that it is only temporary.

14. Looking younger. Yippee! As you clear emotional issues and release limiting beliefs and heavy baggage from the past, you are actually lighter. Your frequency is higher. You love yourself and life more. You begin to resemble the perfect you that you really are.

15. Vivid dreams. Sometimes the dreams are so real that you wake up confused. You may even have lucid dreams in which you are in control. Many dreams may be mystical or carry messages for you. And in some dreams, you just know that you are not "dreaming" -- that what is happening is somehow real. Advice: You will remember what is important for you to remember. Don't force anything. Above all, stay out of fear.

16. Events that completely alter your life: death, divorce, change in job status, loss of home, illness, and/or other catastrophes -- sometimes several at once! Forces that cause you to slow down, simplify, change, re-examine who you are and what your life means to you. Forces that you cannot ignore. Forces that cause you to release your attachments. Forces that awaken your sense of love and compassion for all.

17. A desire to break free from restrictive patterns, life-draining jobs consumptive lifestyles, and toxic people or situations. You feel a compelling need to "find yourself" and your life purpose -- now! You want to be creative and free to be who you really are. You might find yourself drawn to the arts and nature. You want to unclutter yourself from things and people that no longer serve you. Advice: Do it!

18. Emotional and mental confusion: A feeling that you need to get your life straightened out--it feels like a mess. But at the same time you feel chaotic and unable to focus. See #45. Advice: Put your ear to your heart and your own discernment will follow.

19. Introspection, solitude and loss of interest in more extroverted activities: This stage has come as a surprise to many extraverts who formerly saw themselves as outgoing and involved. They say, "I don't know why, but I don't like to go out as much as before."

20. Creativity bursts: Receiving images, ideas, music, and other creative inspirations at an often overwhelming rate. Advice: At least record these inspirations, for Spirit is speaking to you about how you might fulfill your purpose and contribute to the healing of the planet.

21. A perception that time is accelerating. It seems that way because you have had so many changes introduced into your life at an unprecedented rate. The number of changes seems to be growing. Advice: Breaking your day up into appointments and time segments increases the sense of acceleration .You can slow time down by relaxing into the present moment and paying attention to what's at hand, not anticipating what's ahead. Slow down and tell yourself that you have plenty of time. Ask your Higher Power to help you. Keep your focus on the present. Try to flow from one activity to the next. Stay tuned to your inner guidance. You can also warp time by asking for it. Next time you feel rushed, say, "Time warp, please. I need some more time to -----." Then relax.

22. A sense of impendingness. There is a feeling that something is about to happen. This can create anxiety. Advice: There is nothing to worry about. Things are definitely happening, but anxiety only creates more problems for you. All your thoughts -- positive or negative-- are prayers. There is nothing to fear.

23. Impatience. You know better, but sometimes you can't help it. You want to get on with what seems to be coming your way. Uncertainty is not comfortable. Advice: Learn to live with the uncertainty, knowing that nothing comes to you until you are ready. Impatience is really a lack of trust, especially trust in your Higher Power. When you focus on the present, you will experience miracles -- yes, even in traffic.

24. A deep yearning for meaning, purpose, spiritual connection, and revelation. Perhaps an interest in the spiritual for the first time in your life. "Constant craving", as k.d. lang says. The material world cannot fulfill this longing. Advice: Follow your heart and the way will open up for you.

25. A feeling that you are somehow different. A disquieting sense that everything in your life feels new and altered, that you have left your old self behind. You have. You are much greater than you can possibly imagine. There is more to come.

26. "Teachers" appear everywhere with perfect timing to help you on your spiritual journey: people, books, movies, events, Mother Nature, etc. Teachers may appear to be negative or positive when you are trapped in polarity thinking, but, from a transcendent perspective, they are always perfect. Just what you need to learn from and move on. By the way, we never get more than we are ready to master. Each challenge presents us with an opportunity to show our mastery in passing through it.

27. You find a spiritual track that makes sense to you and "speaks to you" at the most profound levels. Suddenly you are gaining a perspective that you would never have considered before. You hunger to know more. You read, share with others, ask questions, and go inside to discover more about who you are and why you are here

28. You are moving through learning and personal issues at a rapid pace. You sense that you are "getting it" quite readily. Advice: Keep remembering that things will come to you when they are ready to be healed. Not sooner. Deal with whatever comes up with courage and you will move through the issues rapidly.

29. Invisible presences. Here is the woo-woo stuff. Some people report feeling surrounded by beings at night or having the sensation of being touched or talked to. Often they will wake with a start. Some also feel their body or bed vibrate. The vibrations are caused by energetic changes after emotional clearing has taken place. Advice: This is a sensitive topic, but you may feel better blessing your bed and space around it before you sleep. I rest assured that I am surrounded only by the most magnificent spiritual entities and am always safe in God's care. Sometimes, however, the fear gets to me, and I call in Archangel Michael and/or Archangel Uriel. I don't beat myself up for being afraid sometimes.

30. Portents, visions, "illusions", numbers, and symbols: Seeing things that have spiritual importance for you. Noticing how numbers appear synchronistically in your awareness. Everything has a message if you take the time to look. I enjoy the experience of "getting the messages." What fun!

31. Increased integrity: You realize that it is time for you to seek and speak your truth. It suddenly seems important for you to become more authentic, more yourself. You may have to say "no" to people whom you have tried to please in the past. You may find it intolerable to stay in a marriage or job or place that doesn't support who you are. You may also find there is nowhere to hide, no secrets to keep anymore. Honesty becomes important in all your relationships. Advice: Listen to your heart. If your guidance tells you not to do something, speak up and take action. Say "no". Likewise, you must also say "yes" to that which compels you. You must risk displeasing others without guilt in order to attain spiritual sovereignty.

32. Harmony with seasons and cycles: You are becoming more tuned to the seasons, the phases of the moon and natural cycles. More awareness of your place in the natural world. A stronger connection to the earth.

33. Electrical and mechanical malfunctions: When you are around, lightbulbs flicker, the computer locks up, or the radio goes haywire. Advice: Call on your angels, guides, or Grace Elohim to fix it or put up a field of protection of light around the machine. Surround your car with bluelight. Laugh.

34. Increased synchronicity and many small miracles. Look for more of these. Advice: Synchronistic events tell you if you are heading in the right direction or making the correct choices. Honor these clues and you cannot go astray. Spirit uses synchronicity to communicate to you. That's when you begin to experience daily miracles. See #30.

35. Increased intuitive abilities and altered states of consciousness: Thinking of someone and immediately hearing from them. More synchronicities. Having sudden insights about patterns or events from the past. Clairvoyance, out-of-body experiences, and other psychic phenomena. Intensified sensitivity and knowing. Awareness of one's essence and that of others. Channeling angelic and Christ-consciousness energies.

36. Communication with Spirit. Contact with angels, spirit guides, and other divine entities. Channeling. More and more people seem to be given this opportunity. Feeling inspiration and downloading information that takes form as writing, painting, ideas, communications, dance, etc.

37. A sense of Oneness with all. A direct experience of this Wholeness. Transcendent awareness. Being flooded with compassion and love for all life. Compassionate detachment or unconditional love for all is what lifts us up to higher levels of consciousness and joy.

38. Moments of joy and bliss. A deep abiding sense of peace and knowing that you are never alone.

39. Integration: You become emotionally, psychologically, physically, and spiritually stronger and clearer. You feel as if you are in alignment with your Higher Self.

40. Living your purpose: You know you are finally doing what you came to earth for. New skills and gifts are emerging, especially healing ones. Your life/work experiences are now converging and starting to make sense. You are finally going to use them all. Advice: Listen to your heart. Your passion leads you to where you must go. Go within and ask your Higher Power, "What is it you would have me do?" Watch for synchronicities. Listen.

41. Feeling closer to animals and plants. To some people, animals now seem to be more "human" in their behavior. Wild animals are less afraid. Plants respond to your love and attention more than ever. Some may even have messages for you.

42. Seeing beings of other dimensions. The veil between dimensions is thinner, so it is not surprising. Just stay in your sovereignty. You are more powerful than you can ever imagine, so do not entertain fear. Ask your guides for help if you slip into fear.

43. Seeing a person's true form or seeing loved one with a different face -- past life or parallel life.

44. Physically manifesting thoughts and desires more quickly and efficiently. Advice: Monitor your thoughts. All thoughts are prayers. Be careful what you ask for.

45. Left -brain fogginess. Your psychic abilities, your intuitive knowing, your feeling and compassion, your ability to experience your body, your visioning, your expressiveness all emanate from the right brain. In order for this side of the brain to develop more fully, the left brain must shut down a little bit. Normally the left-hemisphere's capacity for order, organization, structure, linear sequencing, analysis, evaluation, precision, focus, problem-solving, and mathematics dominate our often less-valued right brain. What results are memory lapses, placing words in the wrong sequence, inability or no desire to read for very long, inability to focus; forgetting what you are just about to say; impatience with linear forms of communication (audio or written formats); a feeling of spaciness, being scattered; losing interesting in research or complex information; feeling bombarded with words and talk and information; and a reluctance to write. Sometimes you feel dull and have no interest in analysis, lively intellectual discussion, or investigation. On the other hand, you might find yourself drawn to the sensate: videos, magazines with photos, beautiful artwork, movies, music, sculpting, painting, being with people, dancing, gardening, walking, and other kinesthetic forms of expression. You may search for spiritual content, even science fiction. Advice: You may discover that if you allow your heart and your right brain to lead you, the left will then be activated appropriately to support you. And someday we will be well-balanced, using both hemispheres with mastery.

46. Dizziness. This occurs when you are ungrounded. Perhaps you have just cleared a big emotional issue and your body is adjusting to your "lighter" state. Advice: Ground yourself by eating protein. Sometimes "comfort food" feels right. Don't make any food right or wrong for you. Use your guidance to know what you need at any given moment. Take your shoes off and put your feet in the grass for a couple of minutes.

47. Falling, having accidents, breaking bones. Your body is not grounded or perhaps your life is out of balance. Or your body may be telling you to slow down, examine certain aspects of your life, or heal certain issues. There is always a message. When I recently broke my ankle, I understand that my ankle was taking on what I myself refused to deal with. And that was all of the above. Advice: Stay grounded by taking your shoes off and putting your feet in the grass; even better, lie down on the grass without a blanket under you. Feel the earth beneath you. Get out in nature. Slow down and pay attention. Be mindful about what you are doing. Feel your feelings when they come up. Stay in the present. Surround yourself with blue light when you are feeling shaky.

48. Heart palpitations. A racing heart usually accompanies a heart opening. It only lasts for a few moments and means that the heart is re-balancing itself after an emotional release. I had one episode that terrified me: I woke up in the middle of the night, my heart pounding. I thought it was going to come right out of my chest. It only happened once and was, I understand, a huge heart-chakra opening. But I did check it out. There is nothing wrong with my heart. Advice: Remember what I said about getting medical attention when needed. Consult your doctor about any conditions you are not comfortable with.

49. Faster hair and nail growth. More protein is being used in the body. Too bad we can't tell the body where to grow the hair and where not to grow it. (Or can we? Hmmm.)

50. A desire to find your soulmate or twin flame. More than ever before, the idea that we can have a relationship that matches who we are seems more desirable. Advice: The truth is, we have to be the kind of person we want to attract. We have to love ourselves and where we are right now before we can attract a more "perfect" mate. The work begins at home. Here is how I think it works: Hold the desire for this person in your heart, but without attachment. Expect that someday you will meet someone who is more suited to you, but let go of any expectations as to who this will be and how it will happen. Focus instead on cleaning up your own life and being the kind of person you want to be. Be happy now. Enjoy your life. Then you may see.....

51. Memories surface. Body memories, suppressed memories, images of past lives and/or parallel lives. We are healing and integrating all our "selves", so expect to have some of these experiences. Advice. Keep in mind that it is best to recall only what comes to mind, leave the rest alone, don't analyze everything to death (because you will be stuck in the tape loop of infinite issues to process), and feel your feelings as they come up. Ask for help from your guides.

As I mentioned, I do not take credit for this list. It was posted on one of my ning groups called "Unification Project". When I inquired about where to give credit, I was told it was free for everybody to use by the group's founder.

Obviously, taken one at a time, the above symptoms can be explained away by critics. However, if you're reading this and it does resonate with you, accept it as guidance and encouragement from your spiritual helpers. Not all of them were present in my own life but there were quite a few that definitely applied. If you recognize these symptoms in your own life, please take comfort from that and understand that you are here for a very real purpose and the spiritual component plays a key role in fulfilling that purpose.

As mentioned in the prologue, I am honoured to be a guest on 2 radio shows this week. One is on the Blog Talk Radio platform while the other is on Talkshoe. There is no requirement to register to listen to either of the shows. On Blog Talk Radio, however, if you wish to participate in the chat you will have to register a username but there is no such restriction on Talkshoe.

1) Wednesday September 23/09 on "energytherapies" radio show: I will be interviewed by Dorothy Holder, a medium and healer with a wide range of expertise and services including energy healing, chakra and relationship readings and Neural Linguistic Programming (NLP). She offers free readings during her shows (not this one) and is well worth the time to listen to, if you have the chance. She is one of my favorite hosts.

Time: 10:30 PM EST

2) Thursday September 24/09 on "Bird Talk With Kiwi Girl and Kestrel": This show promotes communication with, and enlightens people regarding, their animal spirit guides and each segment provides free readings. The hosts establish a mood that is laid back and comfortable and it is a show I really enjoy listening to and participating in the chat room. Always informative and enjoyable and well worth a listen. This show will entail a lively discussion centering on spirit communication, which both of these hosts - Dorothy and Stan - have very considerable experience. If there is time, I'll be talking briefly about my novel entitled "Bright Demon", which will be published and go on sale in late October, just in time for Halloween.

Time: 11:00 PM EST
