What Can I Do To Attract Funding To My Dream Business?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Wendy.
Wendy: I’ve been guided and reassured by The Council a handful of times and it seems I am in question once again. This time it refers to a subject that’s very new to me, which is the subject of creating my dream business. I’ve held onto this vision for 15+ years and it’s finally moving to fruition. Many times in my life I’ve begun something that excited me and quit before ever really getting started, and I’m afraid of repeating that pattern. And I’d like to know if The Council sees this business becoming a reality?
Council: Yes, it is a pattern. And it’s the pattern to stop you from realizing how powerful you are, which many are learning in this reality, and that you can have what you want. And even if you get close there’s always that doubt, that fear that comes up that makes you think your business would fail or you can’t have that.
And that’s just something you need to turn around with your thoughts, with your focus, and acknowledge, yes, I am afraid, yes, I do sometimes think that it will not work, but I know better. I am a spirit. I am the creator in my life. I can have what I want, and this time I will have it because I know how to do it. I know how to have the image. I know how to feel that it’s already mine. And that’s how I’ll do it.
Wendy: I’m well into the process of building this business, and still every day I catch myself turning to distractions, or doing the minimum of what needs to be done.
Council: It’s that same pattern of fear.
Wendy: I’m at the stage where I’m in need of a large sum of money to really make this happen, and I think the fear of not finding the funds is causing me to drag my feet.
Council: And that’s what stops you from finding the funds. You can go the way of finding backers, you can go to a bank, and you can get little loans from those that believe in you. You can start small. You don’t need a huge sum of money in the beginning, but be grateful for whatever you can have and work with that. When you’re grateful and work with what you have, and love what you have, the universe will go out of its way to give you more.
So don’t let the amount of money you need, or things that can get in the way, don’t let that stop you. But acknowledge these fears and these thoughts and turn your situation around. I will get this off the ground. I will find the right people that will help me get this business off the ground. And by knowing that, and seeing it, and feeling it – and we will underline the word, feeling, many times – feel it, feel it like you already have it. Feel it in your heart how happy you are with this business. And that’s how you create.
Wendy: I deeply believe in this business and this path, and I feel its success. Yet I struggle to accept that I’m capable and worthy of doing something so big. I’ve spoken with many logical brain professionals who tend to caution me against that which I seek, specifically financial, and how much I can handle.
Council: No one can tell you what you can handle. You can jump right in there and decide whatever comes along, I will handle it. So these people are playing the role of feeding you with some fear to help you overcome it.
Wendy: I’ve never done anything like this before, and yet I know this is my highest calling.
Council: Excellent.
Wendy: I’d love to ask The Council: How can I shift my mindset, and what I might be able to do to call this business and the needed financing toward me?
Council: Meditate on it. Constantly see it, constantly feel it, and expect something wonderful to happen every day. The answer is coming. This is wonderful. I’m on my way. I have a brand-new business. I’m an entrepreneur. I’m living the life that I want. And that’s how you change it.
Wendy: I’d also like to know if The Council is able to see if I’m meant to take a conventional route or seek out alternative funding.
Council: We’d say try both. And the one you believe in the most is the one that you will create. Try both. Try everything. Any idea that comes into your head, even if it sounds silly or it doesn’t make sense, if the idea comes to you, it’s coming for a reason. And it’s probably coming because you want to try many ways. And then you want to succeed. And be thrilled that you finally succeed, that you found a way with persistence. And that is important for you – with persistence. Without giving up you can make this happen.
Wendy: Any and all guidance is welcome. I thank you for your time and wish you all so well.
Council: We wish you happiness on your path, and the power to do this, and fun. Get in the spirit of fun and excitement, like a little child. I’m going to have this business. I’m going to make it. I don’t have to know how, but it’s coming. It’s there for me. I am the creator.

Will The Spirit Of My Unborn Child Return To Me?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Zumza.
Zumza: I had an abortion a couple months ago. My boyfriend and I wanted a child, and the feeling of someone wanting to come through us was very, very strong. I was ready to have a baby, but he wasn’t ready financially. I got pregnant very quickly after five or six months of knowing each other, so there was also a doubt that the timing was good. We decided to have an abortion, although I was convincing my boyfriend we’d make it through and the timing was good. I felt a very strong connection to the spiritual world and a lot of love for the fetus. We were communicating in my mind. I apologized for the abortion and asked the spirit to come back.
Council: We see here there’s a lot of doubt around the time you were thinking of having a child, where you wanted the child, but you doubted the timing was right. There was doubt about the finances. And then doubting the pregnancy, or having an abortion, and the regret. That vibration will not bring you what you want. And so we’d say if you choose to get pregnant again, and there are the same concerns about timing and about money, it’s wise to do everything you can to change the way you look at your situation. Be more positive about how it will work out, and stay away from thoughts that are doubtful.
Zumza: I had an abortion and the next day I broke my leg. It was a tough period. I prayed a lot for the baby and for good karma. Later on a baby came into my dream. He was playing in the spiritual world with guides. He was happy and I felt so much love.
Council: Right there by paying attention to this dream and what you’ve seen, this spirit has allowed you to see that it’s healthy, that it’s happy, and there’s no need for regret, blame, or guilt. Once again, it’s a wonderful thing that the spirit has shown you that.
And so if you can change the way you think of it and say, “How wonderful. The spirit heard me talking to itself and came to me. I was open enough to receive that dream, and now how do I handle it? Am I happy for this spirit?” The spirit is happy, so why should I torture myself?
And so, always what you’ve been shown is to be more positive. Know everything is okay. Whether or not there was an abortion, everything is okay. All is well.
Zumza: Since the abortion I’m feeling so much regret. I thought, “I just started a new role and if I leave, how will that look?” But after my decision, my two colleagues told me they are pregnant and I thought, “That could have been my happiness.”
Council: And so the concern here – again take a look at your thoughts – if you got pregnant and had to leave your job, how would it look? It doesn’t matter how it would look. Is it what you want? Are you going forward with appreciating you are pregnant and having the dream that you want? So once again, rethink how you look at your situation.
Zumza: Also, we’re not married yet. I was thinking I wanted the baby to come into a married family.
Council: Okay, so if you’re preparing, if you’re creating that you’re pregnant again, you’re thinking you’d like this child to come into a married family. Are you taking those steps toward marriage? Follow your feeling. If this is what you want, if this is what you need to be happy and to have a full pregnancy, and a wonderful baby, then take the steps toward what you want. And that would be to go ahead and do as you wish and be married.
Zumza: But now I want nothing else but the spirit of this child back in my life. In my dream it was a boy, and I felt it was a boy during the pregnancy. I just can’t live without him in this world.
Council: And that is such an unfortunate thought. When you think that you cannot live without this spirit, what do you think that does to your vibration? That is a very low vibration. It’s easy to change that. It’s like, I love the thought of moving on with my life and welcoming this spirit back if it chooses to come back to me. Do you see the different feeling of the different thoughts?
Zumza: I keep asking the spirit to come back, and he replies that he will, but maybe it’s only in my mind.
Council: And so instead of thinking maybe it’s all in my mind, change it to: How wonderful, let me trust this feeling. The spirit is telling me it will come back.
Again, you’re changing a thought of doubt to a positive thought in order to raise your vibration so it’s easy for you to create what you want.
Zumza: My boyfriend is working on getting stable with finances at the moment.
Council: That is a wonderful thing.
Zumza: Will this spirit come back to me?
Council: We do see here that there is a wonderful possibility of this happening. But once again, you must change the way you see things, the way you prepare for it, and know that when you’re in a higher vibration of joy and love and excitement of where you’re going in this lifetime that you are creating, then we see this spirit, or any other spirit that wants to come, will come to you.
There’s definitely a pregnancy, and if you change this vibration and the way you’re thinking, and you speak to this spirit, you both have a chance to come together and plan what’s wanted for both of you.
Is it a good experience for you to be with this spirit? This spirit will think of what kind of life you are planning. Is it good for me to become part of that family? Is it what I want to experience? And so we say the positive attitude and higher vibration will make this happen.
Zumza: Will I get pregnant again?
Council: Yes, we do see that.
Zumza: I was a career-driven person for some time, but I achieved what I wanted and there’s nothing else I want more than a family. I’m already over 30 and scared it will be too late if it will take too long.
Council: Ah, there we are. You are scared. You are doubting. Will it take too long? I’m too old. That will stop the way you create. So the thought is, I’m over 30. Well I know many people in their 40s and even some women in their early 50s have given birth. Oh, I want this. This is in my plans for my future, so this will happen. I’m not running out of time.
And so, again, the way you see it, being afraid of being too old, being afraid of not having enough time, will not help you create what you want. Do this inner work with your thoughts and how you feel, and when you focus, you are the creator. You will bring it in.

What’s My Purpose In This Lifetime?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Monica, who’d appreciate guidance on her purpose in this lifetime. Why am I here on Earth? I feel like there’s nothing special about me. The Council jumps in here and says you came into this life to learn about yourself and to show people how you improve the way you feel, how you handle your life situations, and how you create in your life. But you’re in this place where you believe there’s nothing special about you. You brought this challenge into this life with you.
The Council says there’s everything special about you. You’re a spirit. You’ve come into this lifetime to focus every part of you on feeling good and learning who you truly are as a spiritual being in a physical body. You want to connect with your higher self. There’s nothing you need to go out and create. There’s no special career and no special way of living or making a lot of money. What you wanted for this lifetime is to be part of the beginning of people learning how to connect with their higher self and how to believe in who they truly are.
Monica says, I have a fashion business and I try to achieve financial security, but unfortunately I always fail. I can’t fulfill my dreams and I don’t understand why. The Council says this is caused by your negative thinking that you’re nothing, that you’re unable to fulfill your dreams, and that you can’t get ahead in your chosen field right now. All of this will change for the better when you do the work to connect with your higher self.
Monica asks if her situation is related to any of her past lives. The Council says it’s not. You wanted to come into this life at the beginning of a great movement forward for all spirits in this reality and help them connect with who they really are as spiritual beings. You wanted to be able to bring love into every situation, make wise choices, have the answers within you, and be able to reach them for yourselves.
Monica asks, How can I improve my financial situation? The Council says before you start focusing on your financial situation we ask that you learn to meditate any way you can. Anything will work, even if you just sit in a chair very quietly for ten minutes and watch your thoughts. Then we’d like you to do an exercise where you feed yourself energy. Imagine a beautiful star above your head and call energy from that star down into your head, behind your face, down your neck, arms, chest, stomach, down your legs to your feet and toes, and out your feet into the ground.
When you’re able to see, feel, and know you can do this, we ask you to look at the objects around you. It doesn’t matter what it is. Focus on one object at a time and see the beauty in it. Find the beauty in any object you’re focusing on. There is beauty in every object. When you can feel the beauty in the object you’re focusing on, you should see the color of it become brighter. As you look at the object it becomes clearer. You’ll notice you’re seeing the object differently. That’s when you’ve connected to the energy of that object.
Take the feeling of seeing the beauty and the love in every object and bring that feeling into yourself. Concentrate on that feeling being inside you. When you get to this point, whatever you need to know or are trying to manifest, we ask you to think of it and ask your higher self, how do I create this? Where do I go? Where do the answers come from? Help me to meet the right people that will help me in this endeavor, and you’ll start to bring whatever you’re focusing on into your physical reality. When you begin to see these things happening, you’ll get the answers and the direction by ideas popping into your head. When you follow these ideas and the things you want begin to happen, you’ll realize you’re creating what you desire.
When you practice this more and more, starting with little things, we ask that you talk to people about how happy you are that you’re doing what you’re doing, you’re learning about this part of your life, and you’re creating your future. Share this with other people. It’s your desire in your current life to grow for yourself, to connect with yourself, and then to show others how to do it also. Begin to talk about it. This is the way you’ll change your reality and help others change their reality. This is a big assignment you’ve given yourself. This is where you are right now. You’re ready to begin this part of your reality.
The Council says if you keep this up you may think this isn’t much, or how will this help. That’s fine, but let go of your doubt and do it anyway. The act and discipline of doing it will bring you the proof you need that this is working. This is a beginning for you to help others around you. We wish you well with this. This is what you wish to create in this reality.
Remember that before you create, fill yourself up with the energy, find the objects around you. and see the beauty in them. Once you feel a lightness, once you see that all of a sudden that object does look beautiful, then you know you’ve reached a point where it’ll be much easier to create what you want.

Do You Need to Think About a Desire You Want to Manifest 24/7?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Peace, who asks if you want to manifest a desire, do you have to think about it and visualize it twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week? Or can you focus on it and feel excited for fifteen minutes a day and let it go?
The Council says fifteen minutes a day is wonderful. Five minutes a day is wonderful if you think of what you desire and also think you’re creating what you desire. Some people would love thinking about what they desire all day long, and that’s wonderful. But when you think about it, feel it, see it as if it’s happening, like you already have what you wish to experience and know that it exists – when you know you’re creating what you desire – that’s all that matters.
Peace says it’s not always easy to stay in an excited state. I’m trying to manifest fixing my physical condition. Does The Council see me achieving this? The Council says if you do the work we’ve recommended, if you see your physical condition improving, if you can laugh and smile and know it’s improving, and you can be excited that it’s now in the world of energy, once it’s created there it must come into your physical reality.
Bob asks The Council if they have any suggestions for Peace if she notices she doesn’t feel well and is focusing on that instead of feeling better. The Council says when you want something badly you focus on it. But when what you desire doesn’t come as quickly as you’d like, doubt comes in. When you find yourself in the energy of doubt, or not believing you can manifest what you desire, it’s then you need the strength within you to turn these thoughts around. Once you turn them around the energy and what you desire are coming to you again.

Do I Still Have a Relationship with My Boyfriend Who’s Passed?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Special K, whose boyfriend passed away. We were on again off again for the past 20 years – more on than off for the last five years. I began seeing signs of him around me almost immediately. Does my boyfriend approve of our transdimensional relationship or is it all my imagination?
The Council says people will think it’s imagination because it’s easier to think that than to realize there’s so much more going on. And of course your boyfriend approves because he’s reaching out to you. He’s part of teaching you there’s no ending. He’s in a different form, but he’s still here. The awareness this person is still around is a wonderful gift. And there’s lots of joy for the spirit of your boyfriend when the one that’s left behind in physical reality can still feel him. This is what we’re all here for.
Special K asks if she and her boyfriend will be reunited in the afterlife and exist eternally alongside each other even though near the very end of his life we were separated? The Council says of course you’ll be reunited. When you ask if you’ll be eternally reunited, yes you’ll be eternally reunited if you mean coming back to spirit and sharing experiences and lessons you’ve learned, either from lifetimes together or separate. You’ll always be connected. You can create more lives together if you and your boyfriend choose. If there are lessons you can help each other with, then you’ll go through eternity in and out of each other’s lives.
Special K says she loves her boyfriend and wants to spend her afterlife with him and I pray he feels the same way and wishes to continue our love as a couple. Inside my heart it feels like he does, but doubt can sometimes creep in. The Council says there shouldn’t be any doubt because you will, if you both choose, be together again. Whether you’re a couple, whether your boyfriend is your mother in another life, or you are his father, or you’re siblings, you’ll experience lifetimes together. And if you choose to be a couple again, that will also come. But from your human reality and how you focus and what you think now, you’re just focused on being together as a couple. Should that come together, whether as a couple again, or friends, or cousins, or mother and father, you’ll still be happy to be together.

Why Aren’t My Guides and Deceased Mother with Me?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Mazy, who says for quite some time I haven’t felt my spirit guides or the spirit of my deceased mother around me. In the past I experienced detailed lucid dreams with important symbolism. I also experienced astral projection and astral travel where I briefly met a few of my spirit guides as well as the spirit of my deceased mother. The dreams and astral travel decreased in frequency and now I haven’t experienced either one in about a year.
The Council begins by telling Mazy she’s chosen in spirit to have this experience. How do you feel about having these wonderful experiences and then not having them? Do you feel disconnected? Do you feel abandoned? Do you think there’s something wrong? Somehow you’ve closed yourself off from having these experiences to learn how to be courageous. You wanted to go on with the belief your guides and your deceased mother are with you, that you are capable, and you are connected.
When you realize they’re still with you and you can relax into this thought, the energy will flow again. You can use the chakra breathing meditation we recommend in another post and work on your third eye and your crown chakra. When you do this you can re-experience the astral projection.
The Council adds that Mazy is still doing the astral projection, but you don’t remember it because this is a challenge you created for yourself. You wanted to find out how powerful you are and how you can change this situation even though you may temporarily believe you’ve lost this ability.
Mazy says she found herself having doubts and wondering why my spirit guides and the spirit of my deceased mother are no longer with me. The Council says they are still with you. The doubts are just created so you can learn from this experience.
Listen to the entire 3-minute audio recording of our session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for Mazy and the rest of us and let us know what you feel about it, or ask The Council your own question.

Why Am I Constantly Stuck in Negative Situations?
This post answers questions from a reader who goes by the name, cmw787, who says her life is on a downward trajectory and has been for years. She’s doing everything she can to fix her life, but she’s unable to do it. Cmw says it feels like every day will be worse than the day before, she’s living every day in misery, and she’s praying for death.
The Council begins by asking cmw how she thinks she can change her life when she expects every day to be worse than the day before and she’s praying for death? The Council says this alone will keep her vibration from raising higher so she can begin to change and bring in the sort of life that she would like.
Cmw says she’s sick of being lectured on the law of attraction. She says she’s practiced it and lived it, and it’s not working at all for her. She doesn’t understand why this is happening to her. The Council notes that cmw doesn’t want to believe in anything that’ll make her life better.
Cmw says she was contacted by people who came to Earth from the Pleiadian star system about 2 years ago, but she doesn’t understand what they want from her. The Council says Pleiadians are very loving and they’re trying to get cmw to focus her thoughts differently so she can raise her vibration.
The Council tells cmw it’s not wrong for her to want to know about herself, but she insists on looking only at what’s negative and trying to understand that. They say understanding isn’t necessary for cmw. What’s necessary is to change how she thinks about her life. She should ask herself if meditation will help you? Ask if helping other people will help? Will having a different perspective on your life help you? Will it help you to focus on something to be grateful for 10 minutes every day? If you do these things it will begin to change your vibration. The Council feels if cmw continues to focus on why her life isn’t working the way she wants won’t make her life any better.
The Council tells cmw she has the talent to become an oracle because in previous lifetimes she was a teacher in Atlantis, Lemuria, ancient Egypt, ancient Rome, and ancient Greece, and in her current lifetime she’s questioning these talents. Meditate on these time periods and ask for information. More information will come. As you tap into these past lives you’ll change your vibration without even knowing how you did this.
The Council says as cmw taught in these ancient places, there were some students that found it difficult to work with energy and change matter, and cmw had difficulty understanding this. So coming into her current lifetime she created a life where she has doubt and negativity to learn from it. She wanted to see how difficult it can be to change negativity into a higher vibration, and see how difficult it can be to go from expecting things to go wrong, to hoping they go right. The lesson was to go through these difficult times and when it seems the most difficult, to grasp onto the littlest thing and begin to change it with something more positive.
Cmw asks The Council what her soul purpose is, and why is she constantly stuck in negative situations. The Council says it’s because her belief is more negative than positive. Your purpose is to find a more positive way to live your life. The Council asks cmw to try to improve her life again, even if it’s with the tiniest seed of hopefulness, and she’ll find a difference.
The Council advises cmw to surround herself with a few crystals that she picks out for herself and begin to meditate, even if it’s just for 10 minutes. In Atlantis you worked with changing energy and taught with crystals. Familiarize yourself with this again and be patient. As you begin to change your thoughts the tiniest bit, you’ll notice experiences in your life will improve.
The Council says as cmw reads about these different ancient cultures she’s been part of, just by taking her thoughts off negativity and putting them on these better feeling times, she’ll connect with this higher vibration and her journey will turn in the direction she wishes.
The Council sees a positive outcome for cmw, but she needs the discipline she taught in these other lifetimes to concentrate on more positive thoughts. If she’s able to read about these ancient times, and surround herself with crystals and meditate, her life must change.

Spiritual Rituals, and Friendship
This post is inspired by questions from a reader named, Vacha, who’s asked The Council several questions in the past. Her current questions are about rituals that her spiritual leader in India recommends, and about her past lives and pre-birth plan for her and two close friends.
Spiritual Rituals
Vacha says they have a spiritual leader, or Guruji, they go to for guidance, mostly related to family issues and gaining spiritual knowledge. She says sometimes their Guruji recommends spiritual rituals that often have the intended effect and other times the ritual’s effects seem temporary.
Vacha questions the authenticity of these rituals in light of what she’s read about spirituality and The Council’s guidance in our posts. She questions whether these rituals work because she believes they’ll work, and they don’t work when she believes they won’t.
Vacha mentions The Council says we need to learn lessons for our soul to grow, and in spirit we often choose Earthly experiences that turn out to be difficult for us to handle. Her question is a little unclear on the following point: She says when we’re born and feel what we’ve chosen in spirit is too difficult, we resort to performing spiritual rituals and she asks if these rituals have any effect, or can they postpone learning the lessons we’ve chosen.
The Council asks if it’s occurred to Vacha that questioning rituals will change how things appear in her life. Everything you experience in your reality is how you look at it, they say. By doubting these rituals The Council says Vacha is unable to create what she wants.
The Council says you will learn what you have planned in spirit to learn. There is nothing that can stop this, but your thoughts can slow this down to the point where it may take more than one lifetime to learn what’s planned. And they repeat that everything you create in your life will or will not happen based on the way you think and what you believe about it.
Past Lives and Pre-Birth Plan with Two Friends
On another subject, Vacha says she feels a past life connection with two close friends who support her when she’s going through difficulties, and she asks The Council about these past lives and her pre-birth plan with these friends.
The Council says there are many past lives, and they are here now to help Vacha through her lessons and offer support when the challenges become difficult. But The Council mentions that Vacha pre-planned she would also be there for her friends and they ask her what she does for these friends that shows love. How does Vacha return her friends’ love? What was planned was a circle of love between the three of them. The Council asks Vacha not to only receive love from her friends, but to be aware of how she returns the love.
Vacha mentions she particularly loves her friend, Pragna, who’s in the USA while Vacha is in India. Vacha asks if The Council sees her and Pragna getting together again and The Council says this can happen if Vacha follows through and does the inner work of returning the love that The Council suggests.
The Council suggests Vacha meditate on the information they’ve provided in this and other posts and work it into her life. As she does this she’ll see the changes she desires in her life. The say just receiving an answer doesn’t heal the situation.
Listen to our entire 12-minute session with The Council to hear all their guidance for Vacha and the rest of us, and let us know what you think.
Overcoming Fear and Achieving a Dream
This post is inspired by questions from a reader named Mariette, who started a website around a year ago as a dream to empower others with flower essences, energy healing, and counseling. She’s not really happy in her full-time job and instead wants to work helping others, but she’s having trust issues.
The Council says trusting in herself is something she’s picked as a challenge and that she needs to believe more in herself and have the courage to move forward with what Mariette feels is her desire.
The Council says it’s always when our path in life is close to changing that our fear will come to the surface and that’s what’s currently sabotaging Mariette. Will she be able to move beyond this fear and go on to her desired career? Her higher self is planning ways to get her where she wants to go. To get through the void she’s experiencing she needs to focus on what she desires. This will bring her past her fears. The Council sees she’d be very successful at this if she tries.
The Council doesn’t see a need to pause at this time. While the fear is from many experiences Mariette has had in other lifetimes, they feel focusing on this wouldn’t be productive. Instead they recommend focusing on how beautiful her life will be when she’s doing what she desires.
The Council says there isn’t a reason why Mariette has to stay in a job she’s not happy with. They recommend taking the chance and leaving to fully focus on what she wants.
The Council suggests as she moves forward with this part of her life, trust her feelings about what flower essences she thinks a person would need, even if it’s not in the books she’s reading. This will increase Mariette’s intuition.
Listen to our entire 9-minute session with The Council on Mariette’s questions to fully appreciate all their guidance, and let us know what you think.
How Can This Darkness Leave My Past?
This post is inspired by a reader named Linda who says she was involved in some occult rituals before she found God, and she asks The Council if psychics are able to see her past, forever? She says someone performed a sexual energy ritual on her that she believes has “forever devastated me”, and she’s concerned because psychics say they’re able to see this and it makes them sick.
Linda says she doesn’t have any part of that life anymore, but The Council says she does have part of this in her life because each time she focuses on what happened, she is bringing this experience into her life.
The Council says no one can do any sort of ritual and put any sort of energy on you if you do not believe it and allow it. They say most humans would go into fear and believe they’re powerless under these circumstances, but The Council says this in not true. They encourage Linda to feel her power, begin to believe who she is as a spiritual being, and understand this was an experience she has passed through and has now chosen another way. And they say nothing ties Linda to this person and the ritual she participated in except her belief that it continues to effect her.
The Council says everything that happens to you is because of what you believe and they recommend Linda change her beliefs about this ritual. See it as an experiment she chose to go through, but no longer needs in her life. If Linda believes the results of this ritual are hanging around her she can think of these energies drifting away and focus on her new path with God.
The Council says because Linda believes this ritual is still affecting her, she’ll bring people into her life that will say they see this energy until she realizes this is no longer needed. But The Council says it was important for Linda to have this experience so she could come to the understanding she’s strong and she can chose. And The Council says if Linda begins to change her thoughts and finds more joy with her God, her energy will become lighter, she’ll feel better, and people will no longer see evidence of this ritual.
When Linda asks if this experience can be removed from her, The Council says as she truly finds forgiveness she’ll understand this was an experience that was needed by all concerned and she’s passed through this. Concentrate on what makes her feel strong: her God, love, and joy. This is what will help her remove the unwanted effects of this ritual.
The Council sees Linda has a fear the effects of this ritual will be with her the rest of her life and they say the more she thinks of it, the more she’ll keep that energy around her. They say a big lesson in this lifetime for Linda is not to have the thoughts and opinions of other people affect her. She should find the strength to release this by herself by staying in the vibration of love. That is what The Council sees is necessary now, and they say they will always be there to help her.
A Past and Present Lifetime Relationship
This post is inspired by questions about a relationship from a reader who goes by the name Aquarius 4. He recently had a private phone session with us which brought up more questions that he’d like us to answer in a post.
Because Aquarius 4 discusses several different subjects that relate to material we discussed in our phone session, his comment can seem a little difficult to follow. The basis of his story is a problematic relationship with a woman in this lifetime that he’s experienced in other lifetimes.
Toward the end of our session with The Council they say Aquarius 4 won’t rid himself of this woman or the problems he’s experiencing with her in his current life. They are here to be experienced, The Council says. They say the connection with this woman is strong because the two of them have a spiritual desire to heal their relationship.
The Council advised Aquarius 4 he must take his focus off these past lives. They are there to provide information about what’s happened and what’s desired, but constantly focusing on what went wrong in those lives won’t fix the problems he’s having with this woman is his current reality.
The Council says to focus on what went right, no matter how brief it was, and focus on what he desires. When Aquarius 4 is able to create more of what he desires in his current lifetime, The Council says that’s when he’ll see change and feel more at peace.
The Counsel advises Aquarius 4 not to pressure himself to heal this relationship right now. They say healing will happen when they both feel safe and are able to look at the situations around them and overcome them.
At the end of our session The Counsel says Aquarius 4’s letter is full of questions and fear in the beginning, but by the end he sees himself handling and acknowledging things differently. They add that through this situation with this woman he has already begun to grow and is on the path he wants his life to be on.
The Council’s parting words are to be present, focus your mind, and feel your heart. They ask what Aquarius 4 has created in his reality and what he wishes to create? They advise seeing his situation as he wants it, feel the love, and he’ll bring this into his reality.
Listen to our entire 19-minute session with The Council below to answer Aquarius 4’s questions.
Should I Move to Ireland with My Daughter?
This post answers questions about moving to Ireland from a reader named D. Back in July, D. mentioned in an earlier question for The Council that her heart keeps pointing her to Ireland, a place she knows nothing about, and The Council encouraged her to visit.
Now she’s returned from that visit and says she connected to the people and the land in a way she’s never felt before. Her heart is telling her to move, but her mind has a lot of doubt and fear about leaving the US, and she’s raising a child on her own. What if she goes and finds she can’t provide an environment of stability for her child?
The Council says this longing is D’s spirit telling her she has an adventure to go through in Ireland. She needs to be there to experience a different kind of life. When she thinks about this move and her heart is full of joy, she won’t be lead astray by her guidance. If she’s created a stable environment for her child in the US, The Council says she knows how to accomplish this and it won’t matter where she is.
The Council points out D. has created her connection to Ireland, and with her desire to go back she can create a way to make this happen. Her thoughts and feelings about going back and having a brand new life will bring into this reality what she’s creating in the reality of her mind.
The Council asks D. to trust and do the work of thinking and feeling her way back to Ireland, and things will come together that make this move possible. They remind D. the universe supported her on her first trip and will continue to support her in finding a way to make a return possible.
D. raises her concern about how this move will affect her child. The Council asks if D. feels Ireland will bring her much happiness, and if her child experiences her being happy, does she understand her child will also experience this happiness.
D. says her mind is pulling her in one direction and her heart and soul are pulling her in another. And The Council tells her they feel she’s already received the answer to her questions by the way she felt when she was in Ireland the first time. They say the challenge of doubt and fear is there for D. to change it into something more loving. Can she acknowledge her doubt and say she’ll make the trip anyway? By taking that leap of faith she will begin to see this desire come into her life.
Those of you familiar with The Council’s guidance from our other posts may think it a little unusual for them to make such a hearty recommendation. Ordinarily we find their guidance is more balanced. So when I said to them it sounds like they’re encouraging D. to revisit Ireland, they enthusiastically respond, “Why not?” Why would D. deny herself the prospect of another joyful visit and perhaps a permanent move there? And that was the end of our session.
Listen to the entire 8-minute session with The Council below for their full guidance.
Trusting You are Spirit in a Physical Body
Jaqueline’s Question
This is the first of two posts answering questions from Jaqueline, who asks The Council how to follow her inner guidance and find inner peace “even when things seem to be so messed up” in her life.
Jaqueline writes that she understands and sincerely believes in teachings like The Council’s and other teachers she’s familiar with who say, “We shouldn’t worry about anything ever because everything is gonna be just fine,” and, “We should enjoy life and think about whatever we want in our future in a positive vibration.” “But sometimes [it] is really hard to put this in practice.”
We like Jaqueline’s question because it frankly addresses a dilemma faced by many of us who are trying to follow teachings like The Council’s. In our saner moments these teaching make a lot of sense to us; they inspire us and lift our spirits. But sometimes, despite our best efforts, life can feel like an insurmountable challenge. When this happens it can feel equally challenging to remember and put in to practice these teachings about who we are as spiritual beings.
At the time Jaqueline wrote her questions for The Council she commented that, “All the time my head seems to be full of stressful thoughts about my future…about my present…if I’m going in the right direction…if I should do something…or nothing at all. Sometimes I get trapped in some drama and get very emotional about everything. Resuming, I have a hard time going with the flow.”
Stressful thoughts, feeling trapped, and feeling other unwanted emotions can be a challenge. When we feel this way and we also believe we’re not supposed to ever worry about anything and we should always be enjoying life, these expectations can sometimes add to the challenge of turning the situation around so we can ‘go with the flow’.
On July 24, 2012 we had a conversation with The Council (non-physical spiritual guides speaking through Cynthia) to get their advice on how to feel more in touch with well-being on a day-to-day basis when life seems to make this difficult.
This session contains many helpful insights, but for us the highlight is the reminder to meditate regularly on the idea that each of us is a spiritual being in a physical body. The Council advises that this type of regular meditation will help us feel more trusting that we really are spiritual beings, and this trust will help us through difficult times.
Interestingly, The Council says that as spiritual beings we actually look forward to these challenging human experiences because we view them as desirable opportunities to expand who we are as spirit into a physical reality.
This post relates the details of this session with The Council, and also includes some information on two meditation techniques they recommend. We plan to publish separate posts describing these meditations in more detail and eventually we plan to include audio recordings of these meditations as guided meditations.
This session also included The Council’s answer to Jaqueline’s question about whether she is going in the ‘right direction’ career-wise, and how career choices relate to experiences we have in other lifetimes. We feel this information is better suited to a separate post and we plan to publish that post in the near future also.
