How Can I Heal My Anxiety and Move Forward with My Life? (Breathing Exercise for Healing 7 Chakras Within Each Chakra)
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Wendy, who says she’s lived with debilitating anxiety and a fear of illness and death for as long as she can remember, and she’s looking for some clarity. It also presents a new chakra breathing exercise at the end that features the clearing and balancing of each chakra on seven levels by working on the seven chakras that exist within each chakra.
The Council says in several past lifetimes Wendy transitioned at a very young age and this is on your mind for your current life. You’re afraid you’ll transition early again and The Council tells Wendy this isn’t what she planned for this lifetime.
It’s good to face your fear and know it comes from past lives. You can go to a past life regressionist if you feel this will be helpful. Once you know where the fear comes from you’ll be able to let go of it.
Wendy says she has lots of physical symptoms she deals with on an almost daily basis and she feels like her nervous system is shot. I get shaky, palpitations, headaches, nauseous, and exhausted. I often get feverish and achy. I miss my vitality and excitement for living. I’m in the process of bringing a long-time vision to fruition and I’m scared I won’t be able to accomplish my goals because I always feel “off”.
The Council says you’ll accomplish these goals when your thoughts change from the anxiety and fear from past lives, to having the idea you can accomplish your goals this lifetime. It was planed by you that you would.
It’s important to read anything you can on past lives to understand you’ll feel sick, anxious, have the shakes, depression, and worry, and it’s all from your fears from past lives. You can change this around.
When you learn about the body and its energy systems that you can change, there is a very good chakra breathing exercise for you to do. There are seven main chakras or energy centers that have been created for everyone in your reality. Each of these chakras has seven more chakras inside it and you need to heal each chakra on all seven levels. Below you’ll find a step-by-step chakra breathing exercise to balance and align each of your seven chakras and the seven chakras within each chakra.
Wendy says she’s tired of feeling this way and she wonders if she’s signed up for a lifetime of feeling or being unwell. The Council says you’ve signed up for a lifetime of experience and then finding the way to heal these experiences and creating the miracle you’re looking for.
The Council suggests Wendy read Hands Of Light, by Barbara Brennan.
The Council closes by saying with practice, as you start to follow our guidance and know that you’re healing on such a deep level your current life and your past lives, the entire energy system within you will change. You wanted to see what you could accomplish by healing yourself.

Can Musicians Who’ve Crossed Over Jam in Heaven?
This post answers a question for The Council from a reader named, Keith, who asks if one spirit can meet another spirit in heaven. He goes on to say, for example in heaven can the musician, Tom Petty, locate the musician, Jimi Hendrix, and start jamming?
The Council says if this is what these souls wish to do, then the answer is yes they can. In heaven we can meet whoever we’d love to be with, speak with, and have experiences with.
The Council goes on to say your heaven (like your physical reality) is also created by your thoughts, your intentions, and what you’d like to experience.

Why Can’t I Let Go of My Ex-Partner?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Eden, who asks why she’s unable to let go of her ex-partner. She says they were together for a year and it’s been almost two years since he ended the relationship and I still can’t seem to move forward. I feel like I’ve tried everything and yet it still consumes me and I’ve got no idea what to do. Sometimes I feel like I don’t want to be on Earth if we can’t be together.
The Council asks Eden how she can move forward when she’s constantly thinking of her ex. In planning for this lifetime The Council doesn’t see anything permanent between you and your ex was planned.
The Council asks what Eden can take from her experience with her ex that she liked and create with someone else? You must change your thoughts. Find what was good in this relationship and create it with someone else. Imagine there’s another partner for you with all the attributes of what was good in your past relationship and add onto it what else you’d like.
As soon as you begin to think about your ex, acknowledge it and then change your thought. It can be as simple as thinking about a flower, a tree, a beach, or anything else. After a while this will become your new habit. You’ll have better thoughts and your mind won’t drift to your old companion. This is the discipline you need to change your life.
The Council says there are several different souls that are willing to come into Eden’s life when she changes the way she thinks. If she goes in one direction there’s a soul who’ll fill her needs. If she goes in another direction there’s a different soul that will fill her needs. There’s a happy relationship there for you, but you have to do the inner work first of changing your thoughts.
What you wanted to learn in this lifetime was discipline in all things. Discipline by knowing what you want and how to get it by using your mind and visualization until you see you can create. As you create little things you’ll be able to create bigger things, sometimes referred to as miracles, until your life completely changes.

Why Am I With My Husband Rather Than the Love of My Life?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Confused, who says her soulmate (who’s the love of her life) lives in another country and I’m unable to be with him. I don’t understand why I’d choose this separation when there’s no one I’d rather be with and would have been ecstatic to spend my life with him.
The Council says you planned in spirit to experience the feeling of having this love of your life, and then be given a chance to work through this to see there’s not just one soul you can have this kind of relationship with. You planned to let go of the belief you can have only one love. There are many souls that will come in and out of your life. If you allow it to happen, there’s another person that will come into your life and fill this loving role.
You want to see there’s always a way to change what you’re going through. There’s always a way to create love in your life in any way you need it. Work through this belief you have only one love and you’re life is stuck because you can’t be with this person. Release these unhappy thoughts there isn’t any joy in your life or other love for you. You created this situation to experience the change you’re able to make in your life if you’re open to it.
Confused says she’s married, but I have little in common with my husband, and I don’t want to break up my family. The Council says you don’t always need a lot in common with your spouse. You’re together to see what you have in common and what you don’t have in common, to see what this other soul is like and what he’s capable of. Are you willing to help your husband advance in this lifetime? Are you willing to show love to your husband and allow yourself to feel the love in return? That’s your purpose for being together.
Bob asks if Confused can have a loving relationship with her husband similar to the love of her life. The Council says if you go through life thinking your soulmate is far away, I can’t be with him, I have to settle for something less, then how you see your life and your beliefs about your relationships would never allow this to happen.
The Council says they don’t know what Confused is going to create as she goes through this lifetime. It was spiritually planned to be married to her husband and maybe not see her marriage as the love of her life. But when she understands it’s not possible to be with her love, can she have the faith and trust to let him go and give her husband a chance. Or if that isn’t possible because of Confused’s beliefs, then she can create something new. Variety is an important aspect of learning how to create. You aren’t stuck here in an unhappy marriage. With your thoughts and beliefs it’s possible to change what you think a marriage is into something you’d like it to be.
The Council says Confused chose both to be with her husband and to experience the man in the foreign country as the love of her life even though she couldn’t be with him.
Confused says she wants to share her next life with her true love without any complications. The Council says if you want to create a new life with this man you feel is the love of your current life, and if that soul is open to this, you’ll create it.
The Council says Confused’s purpose in her current life is to be in her marriage where she doesn’t feel her husband is the love of her life. The purpose is to look differently at your husband and see what this soul is really all about. Give this person a chance to grow. Be there for your husband.
The purpose you chose for this lifetime was to meet one person who you believe is the love of your life, but to have a husband who’s already in your life, and see just how wonderful your marriage can be if you give it a chance and see your husband differently. Feel gratitude for having your husband in your life. Realize you’ve chosen this, whether you believe it or not, or whether you think it makes you happy or not.
How can you send love to your husband? How can you change the way you feel about your husband by looking at him through the eyes of love? You are souls that have come together to experience this life together and see where that takes you.

Do I Incarnate with Souls Outside My Soul Group?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, JohnT, who asks if there are any pros or cons to incarnating with individuals outside of your soul group?
The Council says you have the ability to work inside as well as outside your soul group. If there’s a soul that picks something challenging that it would like to learn in a lifetime and you have that experience and would like to share it, you can go into another soul group or that soul can come into your group. And you can go into other soul groups when you have lifetimes that aren’t in our current reality. There’s a freedom to create anything you wish. There is never a downside to choosing to go outside your soul group. Everything is planned in spirit.
John asks if he has any lifetimes where his family consisted of people outside my soul group that would be beneficial for him to know about. The Council says there was an interesting life around the time of the Knights Templar where you liked to travel and were very good with a sword. You liked to be in battles and wars and feeling joy through victory.
In this lifetime an inexperienced soul came in planning an early transition back into spirit, but he wanted to experience the excitement of being in battle. You took this soul under your wing to teach whatever you could and then allow this soul to transition. This soul didn’t come from your main soul group, but he wanted to learn about battle and because you had experience in this you worked with this soul.
In your current lifetime do you like to express joy or feel powerful in the things you create? There’s nothing wrong with this feeling of victory and power. It’s just experienced to bring you closer to who you are and how powerful you can be.
The Council says they don’t see any relationship with souls from other soul groups in John’s current lifetime.
John asks if incarnating with souls outside of his soul group is typical for him. The Council says if John means more than five or six lifetimes where this happens they say no. They see two or three lifetimes where this has happened and there are many in his future if you choose this direction. There is no downside to choosing to incarnate with souls from other soul groups. It’s just what you choose to experience.
John closes by saying he thinks having lifetimes with souls from other soul groups is a good way to learn from different individuals rather than being with the same individuals over and over again. The Council says you’re with the same spirits over and over again, but they’re never the same individuals.

Do Souls Need Permission from Other Souls to Learn from the Other Soul’s Lifetimes?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Mr. Wheeler, who says since we’re all connected I’ve heard spirits can gain experiences from the lifetimes of other souls by downloading or imprinting another soul’s lifetime into their own soul. And he asks if this is something that requires permission from the soul lending the experiences because this sounds intrusive?
The Council says this downloading Mr. Wheeler is talking about doesn’t exist. When each soul goes through its life and returns to spirit, all the information, all that spirit’s thoughts, all the scenes from that life come with them. Because we’re all one in spirit we can all see what comes back with each soul. There isn’t any hiding what happens in a lifetime and there aren’t any secrets. We all learn from each soul who returns to spirit. The imprinting you ask about isn’t necessary and doesn’t happen. We’re all one and we learn from each other.
On a different subject Mr. Wheeler says he feels like he’s had a lifetime that took place in the early part of the 20th century, perhaps in America. I also feel I’ve had one or more lives around Scandanavia that take place around the last two-thirds of the 20th century.
The Council sees Mr. Wheeler living in America in the early 1900s. In this lifetime you belonged to a group of people who helped new settlers build houses and start farms. You were very good at construction, making plans, and teaching people how to begin a new life. It was in the role of a teacher that you lived that life. We see a life in Ireland that’s connected to this life. Again there was farming and raising animals. You also went around helping people get ahead and learn how to live and support themselves by farming and selling goods.
In your current life it would be good to pick a subject you find pleasure in, whether it’s construction, sewing, cooking, farming, painting, or writing. Learn a craft and help people support themselves, grow, and be proud of what they do. Your purpose in your current life is to bring forward what you learned in these past lives in America and in Ireland. The role of teacher and helper is the choice you made in many lifetimes. Learn something you’re interested in, even if you start it as a hobby, and take it forward and share it.
We don’t see any lifetimes in Scandanavia. What comes forward is the lives that are affecting what you planned for your current lifetime. If you lived past lives in Scandanavia they’re not so important in your current life.

Welcome
Bob & Cynthia
Welcome to Ask The Council, a blog where you can ask a group of loving and wise spirit guides a question and get an answer, for free. You can also contact us for a paid private phone session with The Council, and you can read the questions other readers have asked and the answers they’ve received. Other posts contain quotations from The Council that we hope you find inspiring, uplifting, and educational.
Ask The Council a Question
If there’s a question you’ve been thinking about and you’re curious how The Council might answer it, we encourage you to either use the blog’s Comments feature to ask your question, or contact us for a private phone session. You can click here to go to the ‘Let us know what you think about this post, or ask The Council a question’ section of this Welcome post and type your question there or you can type your question in the same section at the bottom of any post that inspires you to ask a question or leave a comment.
Since the blog is currently a project we do in our spare time it can take a while for us to do a session with The Council on a question and then publish a post on the session. Depending on the question and the session it can sometimes take weeks after a question is asked to publish a post with The Council’s answer. Please be patient.
The Council
Cynthia is able to communicate with a group of five non-physical spirit guides in a manner similar to the way Esther Hicks communicates with and speaks for the spirit guides, Abraham, and Jane Roberts communicated and spoke for the spirit guide, Seth. I (Bob) basically interview The Council as they speak through Cynthia during what we refer to as a session. Sessions generally last 5-15 minutes and are usually audio recorded. During the session Cynthia is aware of what The Council is saying and she also receives visual impressions and other types of telepathic communication from them.
The Council’s Basic Guidance
Since we began these sessions with The Council around 2009 they consistently emphasize a few basic ideas that we attempt to summarize here:
1) You are an eternal spiritual being in a physical body.
You are the energy and vibration of continuously expanding love, intelligence, and joy.
Your physical experience in your physical body and your psychological experience of your personality is a small part of the totality of who you truly are.
Let yourself imagine from time to time what it might feel like to experience more of the wondrous totality of who you really are, and don’t be surprised if you are able to experience this more often.
2) You are the creator of all that you experience.
As you open to the possibility your true nature is greater than you ordinarily perceive, it becomes easier to consider the possibility that this expanded you is truly the creator of everything that you experience.
If you’re used to thinking of yourself in a more limited sense, the idea that you are the creator of your experience may be difficult to understand. Our post, What About This Idea That We Create Whatever We Desire, offers insights into this idea.
3) You are here to expand the love you are into physical reality.
You chose, as a spiritual being, to come into this physical reality to experience the joy of expanding the love you are as a spiritual being, into this physical reality. This is your purpose for being here.
