Are The Cause And Cure For Mental Illness The Same As Physical Illness?
This post answers a question from a long-time reader named, Jan.
Jan: The Council’s answer to Linsay’s question about health and sickness is wonderful and empowering. I’d be very interested to know, though, whether the same applies to what we commonly refer to as mental illness.
Council: Mental illness is created by the spirit that’s coming into this reality. Sometimes the spirit wants to experience mental illness because they’ve seen others in other lifetimes go through it and they want more understanding. Sometimes they’ve been with mental illness in another lifetime and didn’t like the way they handled it and they didn’t like the way they went through that reality.
But mostly, people with mental illness are coming into their current reality to help others get more understanding of their condition, to not be afraid of it, and to learn how to communicate and live with someone with mental illness. It’s a wonderful thing, as spirits, that we do that. But mental illness is a choice.
And so we’d say to you, Jan, if you know someone with a mental illness, it’s a gift to you. Look at it that way and send this person love and support in every way you can because you were chosen to be in this person’s life. And so we wish you well on your journey and your learning.
We send you blessings, and joy, and love, and the ability to have wonderful memories, to laugh, to hope, to stretch out your hand and help each other, and enjoy this life that you’ve created.
Remember, no one creates for you. It’s all up to you.
The people around you that you have chosen to be in your life have agreed to come and help you. They’ve agreed to learn from you. There are things they need from this experience of mental illness.
And so you’re all there and everything is planned with love. And when you go back into spirit you’ll go, “Wow, what a trip.” So enjoy and have fun.
Listen to the entire 3-minute audio recording of our session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for Jan and the rest of us and let us know what you feel about it. You can also ask The Council your own question by typing it into one of the Comment boxes that appear at the bottom of most of our blog pages and we’ll answer it as soon as we have time.

Why Do We Get Sick, And How Do We Heal?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Lindsay.
Lindsay: I’ve looked through old posts, but I wasn’t able to find any specific questions on seasonal colds and the flu. Why do humans get sick with viruses?
Council: In your reality, it’s part of the belief system. You came into a reality with others where this is something that happens that you go through, and so you want to know how you’d handle this. What would make it easier for you to go through this? People get sick because they believe it’s there, and sooner or later they’ll get sick.
Oh, the flu is going around, I hope I don’t catch it. And just by thinking, “I hope I don’t catch it,” brings it into your reality. So it’s the thoughts and the beliefs that make you sick, and that makes you experience seasonal allergies and terrible colds in the winter. People die of cancer because they believe someone dying in their family had it, so they’d also get it. It’s possible, and being in that state of fear, it’s created.
And so we’d say, if you wish to be well, you must be in a place of loving yourself and having good thoughts. Your reality is wonderful. Your reality can make you strong and it can make you well. You can sail right through this lifetime, But when you go into thoughts like, here comes the Winter and now we’ll be sick, and here comes the Spring and now we’ll have allergies, it’s the thought system and a deep belief that this will happen.
And yes, it’s here, it’s created in your reality, but now how will you handle it? You know by handling it you must change your vibration. How do you change your vibration? You change your thoughts. And just that would make you not be sick in the Winter, or not have allergies in the Summer.
Be grateful for being in a reality where there are different seasons and different things to appreciate in each season, and to love your body and know that it’s strong. And of course, do the wise thing physically. Eat the right foods and get plenty of rest. It’s all your belief and how you go forward with what you think.
Bob: You already address this next question to a large extent, but I’ll ask it anyway.
Lindsay: How can we prevent illness with seasonal colds and the flu?
Council: As the season approaches, meditate, sit, smile, and think I am healthy, I am so wonderful, I have created a healthy body for myself, and all is well. Keep seeing it, seeing it, over and over again. You are just feeling great. What a wonderful surprise. I’ve created a season that I am just sailing through feeling wonderful.
Bob: And you’ve already addressed to some extent this next question, but I’ll ask it anyway.
Lindsay: When you or your child is sick, what can we do to heal quickly?
Council: Play a game while you are sick. Do things you like. Lay around, watch TV, play music, create something (possibly arts and crafts), be together in the family. And just know that being in the family, going through this sickness, it’s just something that for some reason you’ve created, and you have the ability to get rid of it. But treat it as a fun thing. Treat it as if it’s a time for me to rest, so I’ll rest. But I will be happy because I am well. I am well deep inside. And I will see it, and I see it over and over again, and then I’ll experience it.
Bob: In addition to what you’ve already said about getting sick…
Lindsay: Is there a secret to staying healthy?
Council: Appreciate things every single day, even the littlest thing. Laugh about some memories, or find something fun to do. Raise your energy. Diseases and sickness aren’t in a high vibration. It will not touch you because it’s not in your vibration. You can rise above that.
And the answer to all questions concerning how to improve your life: be grateful for everything, have positive thoughts, and send yourself and others love.
Listen to the entire 6-minute audio recording of our session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for Lindsay and the rest of us, and let us know what you feel about it.

Do Friends Or Family Have Bad Intentions Affecting Our Health?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, LovePeace.
LovePeace: My family is struggling with bad health ever since we moved to Atlanta. We’re continuously getting sick, which is highly unusual for us.
Council: Was this move to Atlanta wanted? Were your thoughts positive and excited about this part of your life that was coming up?
We’d say to everyone that your health is controlled by your thoughts and by your vibration. It’s wise to remember, everything must, must, must start in vibration. There are negative thoughts that lower your vibration. There are positive thoughts that bring your vibration up into a place where you feel good. When you’re in that higher vibration you cannot stay sick. Sickness is in a lower vibration and it feeds the body differently. When you’re in a positive vibration, stay in that vibration as much as you can. How do you stay in it? You find things to be grateful for. You think of all the things that you have accomplished in your life, of things that you’ve gone through and it’s made you feel good.
Concentrate on what you want your life to be like. Imagine it in detail. Do you want to be married? Do you want to move again? Do you want a big family? Do you want a career? What is it? See it. And the more you can see it, you will feel it. When you feel it, it must happen. This is daily work that needs to be done. Change the vibration. When it changes your health must, must, must change.
According to what you’re saying here, everyone isn’t in a great feeling vibration. One person gets sick and another person will be afraid they’ll catch it or they’ll get sick. So now everyone is in this vibration of fear of what’s going on here. Maybe this move wasn’t a good move because we’re all sick. The move is fine. It’s your thoughts that must change. Atlanta will be a wonderful place to live. This is what we want when we’re here. Stay in the positive thoughts. That’s how you change your health. It must start in vibration. How do you get a higher vibration? You do it with your thoughts. You’re in control of this.
There’s no need to fear what’s happening. According to the way everyone’s been thinking, everyone has been getting sick. So now change it. It’s that simple. We say here, it’s not always easy for you in your reality to do it, but it’s a simple answer. Change your thoughts.
LovePeace: These sicknesses also take a long time to get better.
Council: Ah, and what does that tell you? The thoughts are taking up much of this time. And so, again, change it.
You can feel really sick, and while you’re sitting at home laying in bed, you can control your thoughts. See yourself as feeling better. Oh, I’m walking around. Oh, I don’t need medicine. Oh, I feel relaxed. You can do that while you’re sick. When you see it, when you imagine it and begin to feel it, with this imagery you’ll change what’s going on in your physical reality.
LovePeace: It can affect our work schedule and our kid’s school schedule.
Council: Of course, that’s how it works. Vibration and energy don’t stay in one area of your life. It hits other areas. So if you aren’t feeling well, it can affect how you take care of your children or how you take care of your house. Can you go to work? It’s like a domino effect. It’s important what you think.
LovePeace: I’ve been having some issues with friends and family, as well. I want to check if any of them has the evil eye or bad intentions that are contributing to our bad health.
Council: There’s no evil eye unless you believe in this. There’s only energy, and the energy that you surround yourself with is what’s important. And so there’s only a curse of an evil eye if you believe it. Even if you have the thought: Is it possible? Of course, if you think that, it will be possible, but nothing happens, nothing will touch you when you work with positive thoughts. Surround yourself in beautiful pink light and know that it’s healing and love. That’s what you need.
LovePeace: Please provide guidance on how we can keep healthy and happy.
Council: We believe we’ve done that.
This we can tell you: You can accomplish this. We see, if you choose to do the work, you’ll all be better. And so, now it’s your choice. Do you choose love and positivity, or do you choose fear? It’s only you that will create what happens in your life.

What Can I Do to Improve My Sickly Mental And Physical Condition?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Christea17.
Christea: I’d like to ask The Council about my health. I have a long list of health issues, both physical and mental, including depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and attention deficit disorder.
Council: First, a change in your diet is very necessary. Most of what you eat should be from the Earth. Plants, fruits, and some protein is needed. All sweets should be eliminated. Then you have to work daily on your chakras. We’d suggest a chakra healing; first a simple one and then the one that goes deeper into the chakras. We have these chakra meditations here for you, and with them you’ll start to feel a difference.
In time, if you’re determined to feel better, you’ll be grateful for everything you have around you. To do this work, the physical problems, mental problems, and depression will change, but you must begin with the energy work on your chakras and your diet.
Christea: My energy levels are very low most days and I’d like to know what causes this. It’s getting harder and harder to live a normal life, and work is very exhausting. I’m only 30 years old, but I feel like an 80-year-old.
Council: When your chakras aren’t working properly, you’ll feel exhausted, and you’ll feel depressed. We advise that you begin this chakra practice and changing your diet as soon as possible.
Christea: What can I do to improve my physical and mental condition.
Bob: Anything else besides the diet and the chakra meditations?
Council: This will take great discipline, so before we’d go into anything else, we’d say to work with this. Put all your focus on this.
Listen to our entire 3-minute session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for Christea17 and the rest of us, and let us know what you feel about it. You can also ask The Council your own question by typing it into the Comment box that appears at the bottom of most of our blog pages.

Why Do I Keep Having One Health Problem After Another?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Sunshine73, who says, For years I’ve had one medical problem after another. Each problem seems bad and I think I’ll die from it. Why do I continuously have these issues? As soon as one health problem goes away something else pops up. I’m dealing with a health problem now and I’m very stressed. Why is this happening to me? Did I agree in spirit to this, or is it something in my life I’m doing wrong and it’s keeping me in this never-ending cycle of health problems and worries? Is there something I can do?
The Council says there were many, many lifetimes where you were a healer, a doctor, or a person who assists sick people when they’re unable to get around. With each lifetime you saw people suffer, people go through agonizing diseases, people not being able to take care of themselves and dying, and sick people being abandoned because no one compassionate was around them who tried to understand their illness.
In each of these lifetimes you did everything you could to be of service. In every lifetime you tried to imagine how each person went through their illness. You always wanted to be someone who could help a sick person turn around their illness.
For over 100 lifetimes you continued in this role of wanting to heal, wanting to help people, and wanting them to know they weren’t alone as they went through illness. As you went through these lifetimes with these people and didn’t understand how you could help them, you began to become afraid, and this fear grew in each lifetime. Every time you saw someone who was sick and needed help, the fear grew within you.
You started to imagine what you’d do if it was you who was sick. But as your lives went on and you saw so much pressure put on these sick people, and the pressure you put on yourself to try and relieve them in some way, this pressure began to stay in your vibration and turned into fear.
In each lifetime when you created your reality, you wanted more understanding. You wanted to know why people were getting sick. You wanted to know how to deal with this sickness. And most of all you wanted to know how to stop the illness. In each lifetime when you weren’t able to turn the illness around, you kept the frustration within you. You thought you didn’t do enough. This began to show up in other lifetimes and depressed you.
When you’d go back into spirit and work on this frustration with your guides, you always wanted to understand it and care for people with goodness and love in your heart, and to go through that healing without the fear. In each lifetime, even this present one, you want to understand what was wrong and deal with it in any way you can, but you wanted to let go of the fear.
For the fear to grow within you in your current lifetime, you created a life where you’d experience a lot of what you’ve seen in your past lives and a lot of new things that need medical and emotional help. As you go through this, hopefully you’d keep asking yourself, Why is this happening? Am I really safe? How can I make this illness go away? That’s why you’re experiencing all of these symptoms.
Any time in your present life you can begin to imagine yourself with one ailment after another somehow getting better on its own. You don’t have to know how this happens. You are spirit and you came into this life to turn this sickness around slowly, with meditation and going into the state of joy. Just know this is possible if you feel the love and if you feel the healing can be done.
You don’t need to suffer through illness to see that you and the people around you can feel better. Start to imagine what it’s like to go through these illnesses and try to understand this is why you created them. But it’s not necessary for you to hurt, to suffer, to feel alone, and to have the fear of abandonment. It’s not necessary for you to go through this.
What’s necessary for you is to find love within yourself and feel it grow. Work with your heart chakra. Visualize the green light from your heart chakra spreading through your entire body, knowing there are so many guides helping you to finally feel satisfied this is no longer needed. Then you’ll no longer have these illnesses in any of your other realities. You won’t be pulled to create this again.
Your fear is coming from your unconscious memories of how you felt in many of your lives when others were suffering, and seeing the hardships these people went through. It’s the memory inside you that’s creating fear. And this fear gets larger and larger until you can make the correction and know your greatest power in this reality is choice. And your greatest power is with your mind to focus. And your greatest power is the feeling of love. Turn this love towards yourself and you’ll notice a change in your life.
There were many lifetimes where you were in the healing profession in one way or another and saw so much illness happening to people around you. You were always around sickness and death and trying to help these people. But when you go through this the memories and the energy of illness stay with you.
Because there’s so much of this illness, and your great desire to heal, after a while in many of your lives this illness is all you see. And that stays with you and you bring it forward in future lives. Your subconscious remembers sickness, dying, pain, being abandoned, and having no one to rely on. It stays with you. And these thoughts create emotions like fear. And we’re saying it’s no longer necessary to have these thoughts and create this fear.
The continuous exposure to people who need healing produced a fear that came through many, many lifetimes. And so this fear is something you strongly desired to have in your current life so you could get some understanding of where it came from.
But you need to know that whatever the problem is, and in spirit you know what it is, you’ll take love and heal it – the love you have for yourself and the love you get from others. You need to surround yourself with joy and love and then your spirit will know it’s on the right path. And you will take this love and heal your illnesses and they will no longer be necessary.
Sit by a lake or under a tree. Water, elements of earth, and trees have healing qualities. Any meditation you can do that makes you feel good is recommended. And know that all of this is creating the love and the healing that’s needed.
You are all so much more than you think you are. You’re all on this wonderful path of growth, of understanding, and of realizing there are many lives that you’ve experienced, and many more that you’ll create when you’re ready. Focus on being the creator. Focus on bringing joy and laughter into your life and everything will come to you. Everything will be shown. When you’re feeling happy you’ll see the connections that are being made. There will be more understanding. Stay in the feeling of joy.

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.

What Past Lives Will Help Me with My Health & Income Struggles?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Rob, who asks which of his past lifetimes will help him succeed in his current life and deal with his income and health struggles.
The Council says three main past lives that come up right away, which means you are dealing with them on some level, are about health. In a lifetime during the plague you were a physician. You went around trying to help people, but you weren’t very successful because a lot of people weren’t allowed to come out of their homes, and this disturbed you.
In an American Indian lifeme you were a medicine man who was able to connect with the elements and heal people in your tribe. You believed everyone was able to heal themselves and you tried to teach that. More and more you wanted for everyone to be able to heal themselves.
During the Revolutionary War you were a physician again. You worked on the soldiers, many of whom you were unable to save. In these three lives you were concerned with health, helping people, and trying to get people to understand they were able to do things to help themselves. You were very interested in having people connect with their thoughts and seeing themselves healing.
In your current life you’ve created to a lesser extent than your past lives, some problems with health. You want to be able to heal yourself with the power of your mind, and some help from physicians when necessary. You wanted to read and learn about healing yourself.
We suggest you meditate. Read any and all books you can find on energy healing. Learn to heal your chakras and do the chakra breathing on a weekly basis. Try to work with positive visualization as well as what you learn from the energy healing.
There was a lifetime where you had a business with your brother. That life didn’t so much affect your current life, but you wanted to turn that life around. Your brother wanted to run your business one way and you wanted to run it another. A lot of the things you did in this business lost money for you and your brother.
In your current life you wanted to come in and have some sort of business. Something you could work and run yourself and see it succeed. In your meditations we ask you to concentrate on these lives and see what else you can remember. See what you can think about and use in your current life to help you on your path.
The Council closes by saying that knowing this information will help quite a bit.

When Will COVID Conditions Improve in India?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader whose name is, Lightworker, who asks about current Covid conditions in India. They say conditions are getting worse every day and millions of people are dying. We’ve lost close family members due to Covid and almost every day we hear of someone passing away from the coronavirus.
The Council says instead of going into fear, what are the thoughts you have around this? Be grateful your parents and others you know haven’t gotten the coronavirus. Know that everyone in this reality agreed to go through this pandemic. How does it make you want to change? Do you want to bring closeness with family and friends? Do you want to learn to take better care of yourself? There are many reasons this virus was created.
From time to time the coronavirus will calm down in one place and pop up in another. This will go on for a while until enough people have learned the appreciation for life no matter what you face. As this goes on it will change. There will be different strains that present themselves, but there will always be cures that will be identified to help. This is pushing medicine in the direction it’s meant to go.
Eventually all the cures that will be needed will be created from the vibration of light and energy. This is why the coronavirus is being created. To push for different and better ways to find a cure. As sad and frightening as this situation is right now, it’s pushing your reality into a better place.
Lightworker says, As an empath this situation affects me deeply. The Council agrees and says you should learn to meditate every day.
Lightworker asks, Can The Council please give me insight about when they see this situation improving? The Council says they can’t give you a date, but they see the situation will improve. It’s up to everyone in our reality how long it will take.
Lightworker says, I’m very scared for my aged parents in India who are presently alone. If possible, can you give me guidance about how I can remain positive and stay protected from this virus?
The Council says always envision your parents as being well. Don’t dwell on the fear and talk to them about it. Send your parents light and love with your thoughts and it will help them get through the coronavirus. You don’t have to know how your parents will stay well. Just see them as well. As we’ve said in other readings, everything starts in your thoughts, feelings, and visualizations. The energy from all of that will help you create what you need to keep your parents safe.

I’m Worried My Mother Will Pass Away
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, LoveMyParents (LMP), who asks about their mother’s health. LMP says recently her aunt passed away unexpectedly and she was younger than my mother. This has triggered a lot of concern regarding my health and my time with my mother.
LMP lives away from their home country and can only visit their parents once every year or two. They say, I’ve been crying a lot since my aunt’s death and worrying about my mother’s health. I plan to move back to my home country in about five years so I can spend quality time with my parents and I’m around when they need me. As an only child I’m very attached to my mother and can’t stand the idea of her passing away.
The Council asks LMP why they’re focusing on the loss of their mother. They have gone nowhere. You should appreciate that they’re here and you still have time to be with them. The more you focus on the fear of losing your parents, the more likely you are to bring this into your life.
The Council asks LMP to change the focus of their attention. Appreciate your parents. You have a lot of time with them. Plan when you’ll see them, how you’ll have a good time together, and that all is going well. Doing this will help you move forward toward what you want, which is having your parents around you. If you continue focusing on loss, you’ll create this in your life.
The Council wants to remind you there isn’t any loss when someone’s physical life comes to an end. They understand your aunt has transitioned and come home to spirit. She’s in a wonderful place. There’s no grief where we are. Appreciate her life. Your aunt is experiencing more joy now than you can imagine. Be grateful she and your parents are fine. Whenever someone transitions to spirit, all is well. There is no loss and you’ll all be together again.
LMP says they’ve been feeling depressed and have experienced many sleepless nights recently. Can The Council please guide me if my plan to move to my home country in five years is okay and will I still have some years to spend with my mother and father? The Council says if you stop being afraid one of your parents will pass on from their physical life, five years is fine. There’s a future that includes you and them being together again. Don’t put a limit on your thinking. Appreciate your parents. They are here and you are here. Think about when you’ll get together and have some fun.
LMP asks if there’s any way to increase the length of my parents’ life using visualization and positive thought. The Council says positive thoughts and visualization will always help keep your parents in your reality. If you keep focusing on your parents being healthy, you can create that.
Remember that positive thinking lets you create in a way that allows your parents to be there for you. If the time comes where your parents are ready to leave this physical reality, you’ll know about this in spirit ahead of time and there will be an acceptance of their passing. But we see here what’s being created by all of you is plenty of time to be together.
Stay focused on the positive. Enjoy and feel grateful for every moment. Don’t have the thought in the background of how much more time do I have with my parents. That’s still coming from a negative place. Be positive and you’ll have your parents around. You’ll create this in a way that when it’s time for them to transition to spirit when they truly want this, you’ll be fine with it.

Will Meditation Help Reduce the Risk of Heart Attack?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, LovePeace, who asks about her husband’s health. He has high triglycerides and given the history of heart attacks in his family, I’m worried about him. Other than medicines and the diet the doctor is suggesting, can The Council let me know if he can do any meditation to help him with his condition.
The Council says your husband will benefit from the chakra breathing meditation they’ve recommended in the past. When he gets to the heart chakra, visualize the green energy in his heart center going up to his shoulders, down his arms, and into his hands and fingers. This will bring energy to his heart, it will keep it calm, and it will open pathways. Taking the vitamin supplement, Lecithin, will help him clear a lot of blockages in his arteries.
LovePeace says since physical pains are associated with spiritual aspects, what is the spiritual reason my husband has developed this physical problem and what are the issues his higher self is trying to address with this disease?
The Council says spiritual advancement doesn’t need to be associated with pain and suffering. Pain and suffering is just something you choose to learn from, to help another person through, or for you to change your perspective on it. You can have a life of wonderful health, joy, abundance, and still grow.

Is Fear of Illness Connected to Another Lifetime?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, LilyDaisy, who previously asked about her physical and mental health problems. LilyDaisy says she hasn’t been to the doctor in about 12 years because of a fear of doctor visits I’ve had since I was young. I’m also terrified of getting pregnant and delivering a child and I’ve decided not to have children for this reason. I also have strong tendencies toward anxiety-riddled hypochondriac behavior. I worry about dying from an illness I could have prevented.
The Council says they see a lifetime in India where LilyDaisy was a young child who lost her complete family to disease and plagues. Everything you fear now you saw happening around you in that lifetime. People died with no medicine and there was no way for doctors to help. Babies and women in childbirth died. You took all of this suffering and death in and the fear has stayed with you in your current life. It’s coming to a head at this time so you can finally release it.
The Council says meditation is the best way to release this fear. Every day there needs to be a connection to your body. Notice how your hands open, close, and function properly. Notice how your arms are without pain. Slowly go through each part of your body and know that it’s functioning. As you do this, connect with the idea that everything is okay right now and know your fear comes from another lifetime. You’ve brought the fear into this life so you could learn to experience health. As you do this the fear can slowly diminish.
LilyDaisy (Bob mistakenly calls her Brock on the recording) says I’m a bit scared to ask The Council about my symptoms because I may get a scary diagnosis. The Council says they have no scary diagnosis for LilyDaisy.
The Council suggests everyday LilyDaisy sit quietly and go through every part of her body that’s functioning. There’s no deadly diagnosis for you. When you focus everyday on what’s working, what feels good, and that you’re healthy, you’ll bring more of this into your life and little by little you’ll become less anxious about your health. The fear is only here now so you can release it. There’s nothing to be afraid of in your current life.
The Council recommends doing the color breathing associated with the chakra meditation they gave to us.
Everything is currently peaceful in your body. It’s up to you to create this peacefulness with your mind. Your body will follow your thoughts. Understand these fears are based on experiences from another lifetime and they’re here not to make you afraid, but for you to understand and let these fears go.

How Do I Let Go of a Decades Old Memory?
This post answers a question from a reader named, Pam, who read one of our other posts titled, What Past Life is Affecting My Current Life, and Why? where a reader named, Darla, says she experienced a past life as a child who was crippled. The Council said Darla remembered this past life because in her current life she wants to understand how people cope with disabilities, and she wants to experience how these disabilities can be changed by consciously reaching for better feeling thoughts.
That post prompted Pam, to write the following comment:
Ah, I know all this too well. My husband has multiple sclerosis and walks with a walker and it stirs up difficult feelings for me who saw my uncle suffering greatly from MS when I was only 5 years old. I think that vision of him lying in bed shaking and having to be fed by his wife has stayed with me all my life. Thanks for this post, Cynthia and Bob.
Cynthia and I replied to Pam’s comment saying The Council might suggest finding ways of letting go of that vision of your uncle and trying to see him in a more positive light because The Council says you attract into your life what you think about. And this prompted Pam’s question:
Interesting. How do I undo a memory from decades ago?😩
We thought this was an excellent question for The Council and this is what the rest of this post is about.
After we read The Council Pam’s comment about her husband, they asked Pam: Don’t you find it interesting that something you found so upsetting as a child, you created in your life as an adult?
The Council says when Pam has an uncomfortable memory of her uncle, it’s to her benefit not to think of how horrible that was. Instead she can switch her focus to him being grateful to have someone who was there to feed him and take care of him. When you look at this situation and find things to be thankful for, you create a different (and better) outcome in your life.
The Council says Pam expects to experience the same thing with her husband as her aunt experienced with her uncle on the path she’s going down currently. By believing and imagining this you’ll create this experience. Can you change your focus? Can you make a change where you don’t see your husband getting that bad and going down a path where he has to be fed? Your husband can live the kind of life that you create in your reality with your thoughts. You have the power to make his journey easier in your lifetime. What you create with your thoughts you will experience. The Council says this is very advanced knowledge to understand what they’re saying here.
In Pam’s lifetime her husband could get better. There could be a miracle. His multiple sclerosis could slow down. He can live a full life. Part of your husband’s soul will go along with what you create with your thoughts. Yet there’s another part of his soul that creates in his life what his soul needs to experience. The Council says Pam won’t know what this is. Instead you’ll be experiencing what you believe and are focusing on. The part of your husband’s soul that needs to experience whatever it needs to experience, whether it’s something similar to what you’re creating or something much more difficult, he’ll create this in his own reality.
The Council says we live in many different realities at the same time because we want to experience things in many different ways. The person next to you is functioning in your reality the way you’re creating it. But there’s another part of you that will create this situation a different way and you’ll play a different role in that reality. The Council repeats it’s advanced understanding that it isn’t just you in this one life. You’re experiencing things from the past and from the future. You’re learning your lessons and having your experiences, but all you’re aware of right now is what you’re creating and focusing on.
The Council says you’ll only experience what you believe. In Pam’s possible reality her husband isn’t getting worse and she won’t experience that because that’s not what she’s focusing her attention on. Her husband may focus on what Pam is focusing on, but if there’s a part that needs to learn differently, that will go on in another reality and Pam will play a different role in that reality. The Council suggests sitting with these thoughts and trying to feel what they would be like. This is advanced learning.
Pam should focus on things with her husband she can feel grateful for and seeing him getting better or staying the same and having a comfortable life as much as possible. See him the way you want him to be and focus on how you’d like to feel as your husband gets better or is holding his own. Is it possible for Pam to create a miracle and her husband be free from MS? The Council says, Yes.
What Pam saw as a child with her uncle triggered what she brought in with her husband so she could learn from it. The Council often says our main purpose is to bring love into each situation. When you experience something like what Pam experienced as a child, the memory isn’t going away because your soul wants you to go into this experience and change it. Bring love and well-being into this situation with your husband.

Questions About Her Son’s Physical Development
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader who goes by the name, SoulPeace, who asks about her son’s health and weight. Her son will be 6 years old next month. When SoulPeace was pregnant with her son and when he was younger, her family was going through some issues, the pregnancy was difficult, and she believes her son’s health suffered.
The Council says when you have a difficult pregnancy, some souls who come in won’t be affected by this and others will. In your case the issues that you had were to set up what you refer to as the problem of your son’s health, weight, and size. The circumstances of your son’s birth were agreed upon by your son and all parties involved. The Council says because this was agreed upon beforehand there’s no reason to feel blame or be upset that the pregnancy was difficult, and that your son isn’t currently measuring up to certain standards of what you think of as normal.
The reason this situation was set up this way was to teach you to search for the correct beliefs that would help you feel better about your son’s situation. Your son doesn’t need to live up to anyone’s standards or expectations. He needs to feel accepted, not compared to other children.
How you treat your son means a lot. Do you frequently mention to him that he doesn’t measure up to certain standards of size and weight? Do you make your son feel he’s not as strong as other children? If you do this, then you’re teaching him he’s less than other children. Your son wanted to go through this experience to feel good about himself and to teach you and himself that the life you create is the result of your thoughts and beliefs. What is currently going on is exactly what’s needed to do this.
The Council asks SoulPeace how she handles this situation with her son? Does she inform him his weight isn’t what it should be? Does she harp on his eating habits and force him to eat more? When a child grows up with restrictions and rules, they will develop allergies or asthma because the people surrounding him are cutting him off from how he should be feeling about himself as a spiritual being living in a physical body.
The Council asks if SoulPeace can make light of her son’s weight? If the doctor says your son is still under weight, do you worry? Or do you tell your son this doesn’t matter and as he grows he will gain weight? Do you advise your son to eat what he can? Tell your son when he’s hungry he will eat. The more SoulPeace can make light of her son’s situation the better it is because this is what he needs to accept his situation and accept himself.
The Council says SoulPeace’s son has come into this lifetime wanting to experience acceptance. If you change how you speak to him, how you treat him, and show your son acceptance, The Council guarantees his situation will improve. As her son gets more confidence in himself the allergies will slowly disappear. When your son thinks better about himself he’ll eat more. This lesson of bringing change with your thoughts by bringing joy and happiness into your lives can be worked through if SoulPeace and her son can handle it with love and acceptance.
The Council closes by saying SoulPeace’s son is capable of leading a relatively normal life. All of what she views as problems will change once they can learn to accept it.
Listen to the entire 9-minute audio recording of our session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for SoulPeace and the rest of us, and let us know what you feel about it.

What’s the Purpose of Chronic Pain?
The post answers a question for The Council about the purpose of chronic pain from a reader who goes by the name, InDespair. InDespair says they’ve suffered from cervical stenosis and fibromyalgia for about 10 years. They’ve been on the same medication for years, which they’ve now built up a tolerance to, and they’re in terrible pain every day. InDespair says they’re reluctant to speak to their doctor about the pain because they’re afraid the doctor will think they’re abusing their medication.
The Council asks why InDespair refuses to help them self by talking to their doctor. The pain is here as a lesson, but InDespair needs relief from medication before they can learn the lesson the pain is trying to teach. Fear is the reason they aren’t asking for this help. Reach out to your physician and explain your situation. When you receive medication that eases the pain, then you’ll be able to ask what lessons the pain has to teach you.
The reason for pain is that you aren’t allowing your life force to flow through you. When your life force isn’t allowed to flow freely through your body, pain is caused wherever you resist the life force. Focus on the areas of pain, acknowledge the pain, and know that it’s part of your current circumstances. You’ve brought this pain in to change your beliefs.
You create this pain to stop you from your every day living so you give this pain the time it needs to be experienced and to learn from it.
Find somewhere in your body where you aren’t experiencing pain, where there’s a feeling of wellness. Imagine this feeling of wellness spreading to the area where there’s pain and watch as this feeling of wellness grows throughout the body. As you believe you don’t need to experience pain, punishment, and guilt, your life force will flow throughout your body.
You bring pain into your life to change your beliefs and you grow spiritually as you begin to recognize you’re light, love, and joy. The Council asks you to take time every day and find parts of your body that feel well.
InDespair says they’ve never abused their medication, but for some reason they worry their doctor will assume the worst. The Council says to tune in to who you truly are as a spiritual being. You deserve your doctor’s help and you should ask for it. Don’t assume you’ll be labeled unkindly.
InDespair asks, “Why in the world would we choose chronic pain as a lesson, and how can I get past my fears?” The Council says we choose chronic pain to heal beliefs from past lives that we bring into this lifetime. We choose chronic pain for the purpose of changing these beliefs so we can grow from them. The pain will subside as you focus on the areas of well-being to help yourself.
One of the areas of pain is your neck, which is the back of your throat. Is there something you’re avoiding talking about? Do you keep opinions to yourself? Are you afraid to speak your truth? This will affect the throat chakra, which includes the back of the neck. Or have you said unkind things to people? This also will affect the neck area. Work on the neck chakra and all your chakras to get the energy flowing and allow your life force to move through you. If you do this you’ll begin to see a lessening of the pain.
The Council closes by stressing the importance of speaking with your physician about new medication. They also emphasize learning about the chakras and finding places in your body that feel well and doing visualizations that bring this well-being to the parts that hurt. Know you are an eternal spiritual being in your physical body. When you can do these things you’ll begin to experience relief.
Listen to our entire 10-minute session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for InDespair and the rest of us, and let us know how you feel about it.
What Can I Do to Have Good Health?
This interesting post contains questions from a reader named Marie, who asks The Council about issues with her health. Marie’s been healthy most of her life, but starting over six years ago she’s experienced breast cancer, lymphoma, and skin cancer, one after the other.
The Council says Marie needs to fully understand that going through these different illnesses doesn’t have anything to do with being a bad person, and has nothing to do with what she believes as karma (her illnesses aren’t payment for things she’s done in other lifetimes). She’s experiencing these illnesses so she can balance her energy.
In this lifetime and other lifetimes it’s the intent behind Marie’s words and actions and what she wishes for other people that creates this imbalance of energy when these words, actions, or thoughts are negative. As Marie came into this lifetime, her focus was on what she desires to bring into balance.
Next The Council said something about Marie not having to experience what she’s created, but she needs to understand it and learn the reality she’s living is the most important one because it’s creating the energy that needs to be balanced, and it’s creating an easier lifetime when she goes forward into other lifetimes.
At this point in the session, The Council asked Bob (as they frequently do) if this is understood, and Bob said, “No”. After a little laughter on both The Council and Bob’s part, they attempted to re-explain.
The Council said if you don’t understand when people go through poverty in another lifetime, you would experience going through poverty at some point in your future lives to try and understand it better. As you grasp that you’re going through this poverty, The Council says you can experience compassion for yourself.
When you can accept the experience of poverty (or in Marie’s case, illness) without judgement (whether you judge yourself for creating it or you judge it as a horrible situation that you’re angry about), you are balancing this energy, and when you do this with understanding and love, the poverty or illness will cease to exist.
The Council says there were a few lifetimes for Marie where there was no patience on her part for being around people who were sick. There was a time where there was a loss of a limb and there was a lot of sadness and judgement against what Marie experienced as her God. In another lifetime Marie was angry for experiencing bad luck.
Now Marie is setting up her life to go through these illnesses, not to judge them or be angry for going through them, but to simply understand this is what it’s like and to work through it. And in that understanding and peacefulness of wanting to learn and grow and take the next leap on her spiritual path, future illness will not be necessary.
Marie asked if she planned these illnesses before she incarnated into this physical life, and The Council says, definitely yes.
Marie asks what more she can do to get on a stable path of good health? She feels like she’s on some kind of a loop. The Council says this feeling of being on a loop is because she’s trying to balance many other lifetimes in her current lifetime. They suggest she think of all the health issues she’s experienced in her current lifetime and in a peaceful way, accept that she’s created this to understand it, feel what this is like, and to keep moving forward.
The Council adds that this situation of illness after illness is able to easily turn around for Marie, and if she is able to calmly come to a place of understanding what the illnesses feel like, these illnesses will disappear.
The Council closes by saying that in the greater scheme of things the experience of these illnesses is a good thing for Marie because as she accepts this and wonders about it in a calm way without judging it, she is creating wonderful energy for future lifetimes.
Listen to our entire 10-minute session with The Council to hear all their guidance on balancing and understanding illness for Marie and the rest of us, and let us know how you feel about this, or ask a different question.
