I’m Struggling With Health Issues, And Falling Asleep During Meditation

This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, The Law of One.

Law of One: Thank you both for all that you do. I contacted you once before a few years back when I was probably at the lowest point in my life, and your message played a pivotal role in taking the next steps necessary on my journey.

I’ve been struggling quite a lot with health issues since that time, however, and have gotten progressively worse. I am only 26 years old. I’ve exercised weekly for over a decade, I eat as healthy as possible, to the point of it being absolutely rediculous. However, it has gotten to the point where I constantly fall asleep during my meditative practice. To say this breaks my heart is an understatement.

Council: Well we would like to say here, if you’re exercising and doing all this stuff, and part of you knows that it’s rediculous, it’s your higher self telling you this. You need to relax. Try eating things that you might enjoy, but you don’t because you don’t think that it’s healthy. You could eat the healthiest food there is, and if you believe it’s not enough, it’s not going to help you. You could eat the most horrible food – greasy, or fried, or whatever you think is horrible – and if you know that your body loves this and it’s a lot of fun, that food will keep you healthy.

So #1, it’s your thoughts and your attitude. And we would say stop being so strict. So we would ask you to think, do you do that? Or you don’t feel right if you don’t do that exercise? Do you not feel right if you don’t eat a certain way? It’s all okay.

As far as your meditation goes, many, many people fall asleep, or fall into what they think is sleep while they meditate. When you sleep, as you come out of it, you come out slowly. You’re aware, “Oh, I was asleep. I’m sitting in this chair. Blah, blah, blah.” When you come out of a deep meditation where you don’t remember what went on there, you are – boom – awake. Like, “Oh, I fell asleep,” but you are wide awake. It’s not that, “Oh, you know, I’m slowly realizing that I fell asleep.” There’s a big difference.

Many, many people, when they meditate, go so deep in they have no memory of it, and they think they’re sleeping. But what happens is your higher self is learning things and communicating with spirits, and when the time comes that you need this information, you will remember it. So right there, let’s stop being hard on yourself, and know that you’re reaching your guides, you are reaching the spiritual world, and when the time comes, you will know what it is.

When you have the discipline to meditate all the time, it is not overlooked by spirits. The spirits will always reach out to you and try to get you to know that they are there, they’re working with you, and eventually you will feel it. But your purpose this lifetime was to relax and accept yourself with no authority, with no rules, with none of these, “You must do this, you must do that.” Just relax. When you learn to live that way, things will change in your life, and it will all be for the better.

Law of One: With regard to my meditation, it’s all I have and my only purpose, as far as I’m aware of. I just want to go home to spirit.

Council: You will go home to spirit eventually. There’s no rush.

Law of One: I will take any advice that you can offer me. I would appreciate, however, if there was some particular piece of advice that you could give that won’t go over my head.

Council: As simple as this sounds, we would really like you to find some nice, fun, pleasant things to do. If it’s to go and lay on a beach, if it’s to ride in a boat, if it’s to sit on a swing like when you were little, find some very simple things that will make you feel good.

Law of One: I feel like I’ve tried everything under the sun, and I’d like some peace and steadiness in my life. Thank you for your time.

Council: When you follow this information, you’ll see the difference taking place. It is so simple. Love yourself. Tell yourself in the mirror every morning, “I love you. Today will be a fun day. Today we’ll take it easy. I’m open to communicating with the spirits.” It will all happen.

(Bob’s Note: Ordinarily this is where The Council usually gives us some parting words which we call the closing, but this session ended without any closing thoughts.)

Is Selling My House A Necessary Step For Me?

This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Starfish.

Starfish: Hello, Council, Bob, and Cynthia. I am faced with a financially stressful situation. I’ve lost my job due to health conditions, and in the current circumstances, it’s challenging to get a job. I’ve been managing to get a few interviews after months of effort, but I’m unable to get an offer. Due to this, I may have to sell the house I bought two years ago. This house has been a long-standing dream of mine, and I’m very sad that I’m in a position to sell my home.

Due to job market conditions, I’m unsure if I will get a job, and if I will be able to sustain a job in my current health. I’m trying to understand what this situation is trying to teach me spiritually. Despite my best efforts, I keep facing challenges in all different areas of life, and it’s taking a lot for me to continually stay positive.

Council: In a past life we see here an almost similar situation. It was again that more or less a house was taken away from you because you couldn’t pay for the cost of the house. And so you’re bringing this up in your current lifetime to handle it differently than you did before. Before you gave up knowing that there was no way you were going to survive in the cold weather at that time and not having a house. So you just walked away from it, and you had to live with relatives, which you didn’t find a very welcoming situation.

So in your current lifetime we say okay, let’s look at this. What’s happening. It’s almost the same thing. You’re faced with having to sell your house and get a job. You can create work for yourself. You can create keeping your house by looking at this house as a blessing. You must always look at these things with gratitude. And so for you, this house is a dream that came true.

And so you are faced with financial problems. You’re faced with physical conditions that you think can prevent you from working. So when you look at this, do you know if you have heard of people in worse conditions than you and they work. They find a way to survive. It’s the attitude you have that will keep you from bringing in some sort of employment.

So we see the energy that’s around you is fear, and being sure you’re not going to have a new job, and that having interviews and expecting not to get work is holding it back.

So the whole thing has to start with the way you look at it. Be grateful that you have this house. Be grateful that this is a time you can work from home. There are many, many jobs out there that you can fill, but you have to apply and look. When you start to look for positions, know that you can be excited because something is coming to you that you can handle. It all starts with the thought and the feeling.

We do not see what you are creating in your future that you have to sell this house. We would never tell you what to do, but we would say, think before you do this. There are answers that are coming to you when you look at the whole situation differently.

Then look at your health. How is it stopping you? Are you doing everything you can to feel better? The thoughts about how you feel and your health, are they positive? That with rest, with anything that you are being told to do, if you do it, is it going to help? See it helping. Everything you do to feel good, see it helping. You will find your health conditions improve. You will find a position, and you will keep your house. That is what we see is in your vibration, and that is what you are creating. So while that is there for you, you need to take the focus in your present life and put it more in that direction.

Starfish: Can The Council please guide me if selling this house will be a good step for me.

Council: Yes, we do not see that as necessary. That is a move that’s taken out of fear, out of desperation, out of having no hope, and that you must give up your dream. Change that thought. Be so grateful you have this house. Be happy in this house. Look around yourself in this house and love every part of it – the walls, the decorations – anything that is in your house, look at it with love.

Starfish: I’m looking for guidance on how to turn things around financially, healthwise, and family situation-wise. It seems like every time I get something I desire, I lose it in a short time.

Council: Because you have a hopeless way of thinking. You are hopeless in what you are expecting. So that energy is all around you, and thinking like that is what’s making it happen, and will continue to make it happen until you do the work. And it is work because you need the discipline to appreciate everything, to love everything in your life, and to know with excitement, “I don’t know what it is, but there’s some position for me and it’s coming.  So I’m ready for it, and it’s coming.” Be happy about it. Everything starts in vibration first, and that is your focus.
