What’s The Point In Upgrading My Energy If I Can’t Figure Out How To Use It For Good?

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

Tâm: Thank you for what you’ve been doing. I really appreciate it. The content you’ve been posting has been very helpful for me. I’ve been reading your blog for a month now. Today I have a question for The Council.

So I’ve been trying the Seven Chakras Breathing meditation on your blog and I’ve seen a development in my energy. I used to feel tired and drained all the time, especially after my spiritual awakening two years ago in 2021. The awakening has affected my education dramatically. I’m in my second year of college. When my Crown Chakra and Third Eye suddenly started opening in 2022 I became frightened of people. I hated crowds. Even coming into a classroom of 30 people was too much for me.

Council: This is because at this particular time you are picking up vibrations and energies of other people. So when you’re in large groups it is very confusing to know what is you and what is coming from somewhere else. At this point it’s good for you to spend more time by yourself and do a lot of meditating, and a lot of connecting, and we see you need more grounding in your current reality.

And so every day when you wake up we’d ask you to picture roots coming out of your feet going down into the center of the Earth. And you can picture the center of the Earth any way you like. And when your roots are deeply embedded, they begin to pull up energy from the Earth, up through the roots, up into your feet and all through your body, and up through the top of your head. At this time in your life you need more of this meditation to focus and be grounded in this reality, and to have things become clearer to you, and for you to see how to handle things better. You need that connection to the Earth in this reality.

Tâm: I have symptoms of anxiety whenever I go out (heavy breathing and sweating), but I know it wasn’t a normal mental illness. My grades suffered because of my lack of participation at school. I didn’t even have enough energy to do my homework and assignments.

Council: The anxiety and the school work is all in chaos right now, and so you must do this grounding to help yourself. And when you feel uncomfortable, know you’re picking up vibrations of things around you, and know that you are fine and you are safe, but you can use your mind to see things calming down, to imagine yourself feeling better.

And so it’s the discipline of learning how to work with this new energy that you’re allowing to come forward, and that will change in this reality, in this lifetime. And you’ll improve your meditations, you’ll improve the reality, and you’ll improve your schoolwork, but this takes time, it takes the grounding, and of course it takes knowing of who you are. You are spirit and you are opening up to more of what’s going on around you. And this is all a good thing.

Tâm: Luckily I was able to pull myself together recently and was able to enjoy my classes and come to them more often. However, my grades still suffered and I don’t know why. I tried thinking more positively, I had more joy doing school work, and I enjoyed my classes. I don’t run on deadlines anymore and I always plan out my work carefully. The process was looking great, but the result was still horrible.

Council: So you need to focus on being safe. That’s a big issue in your current reality, so that you are safe, you are grounded, and you see your grades becoming what you want them to be. You see yourself just pretending in your mind and feel what it would be like to have no stress around your grades, and you’re now connecting to the energy of the direction you want to go in. Instead of the chaos and instead of thinking: Why isn’t this working? Why am I doing this? Why am I doing that? Just think that you are safe. Think about how you want your grades to be. This is what you’re creating at this time. And you’ll see when you do this in a calm manner, it will begin to change. There will be ups and downs until you learn how to use this energy, but you’re capable of doing this.

Tâm: I’m majoring in Design. I know when it comes to things like Art, there’s no definite right way to do something to guarantee you get a good grade.

Council: And so connect with your higher self and say, “Let’s see what I can create. How will I use this to design, to imagine, to create things that I love.” And the big thing here is that you love it. Do not create things the way you feel other people would want it, or try to meet some idea of what you’re supposed to do. But just go easily and playfully into, let’s see what I can create. And in that calmness, and in that connecting with your higher self, it will become easier. And you’ll be surprised at the beautiful things you can create.

Tâm: It’s not like the normal testing with right and wrong answers.

Council: Exactly.

Tâm: My grades have been fluctuating from the highest to the lowest. It feels so random and I found no correlation. I don’t understand it. Sometimes I feel bad and I still get good grades. Other times I thought I was doing well and I got the worst kind of grades.

Council: So wouldn’t it be wonderful, when you feel bad and get good grades, to take a look at that and begin to question: Why do I feel bad? Look at this. I really can create good grades. I can create good feelings. And then when you feel good, you get grades that don’t make you happy, you can laugh at this and say, “Oh, I’m not focusing on what I really want to create. This is just a reminder and I can create it the way I want it.” This is your learning. This is the purpose that you’re going through this right now. Accept. Be playful. Nothing is so serious. You can change it with your focus, your thoughts, your feelings, and you’ll create what you want in this reality.

Tâm: What’s the point of upgrading my energy if I can’t figure out how to use it for good?

Council: But you will figure it out because you will focus on what you want. And you will understand when you get anxiety, it’s picking up the energy of things around you. It’s not you. And you can easily say, “Okay, I understand why this is happening, but I don’t need it at this point.” And you will be in control and it will change.

Tâm: What’s the point if I can’t apply this energy in my practical life? My mental well-being has been upgraded, but my physical environment efforts yield the same horrible ending.

Council: When your mental, emotional, and spiritual energy (which are all one and are all connected), when that changes to connecting with who you really are with understanding, the disappointment you go through is just a way to show yourself you’re not doing this right. This is not what I want. I must find another way. When you can accept that and learn from that (and that will happen over and over until you learn from that), you can change anything.

Tâm: I really need answers from The Council. What am I missing here? Are there still blockages in my energy or my mental thoughts?

Council: The blockages are in your mental thoughts, not in your energy. Your energy is fine. It’s now time for the discipline of working with your thoughts, thinking of things that bring you joy, and thinking of things the way you want them to be. But when you think of this, also remember to feel it as if you already have it. What does that feel like? And that’s how you create.

Tâm: Or am I not taking enough action in the physical world?

Council: Action in the physical world is not needed. It’s needed in your thoughts.

Tâm: I really want to get better grades. I want to show myself how capable I am and be surprised by my own abilities. I just want my life to be more stable.

The last two years have been so rough because my mood and energy just kept getting in my way of doing physical things. Now I finally have my energy back. Please tell me why I’m not seeing changes in my physical world yet.

Council: Because you haven’t changed your thoughts yet. But now you have information on sitting, meditating, being quiet, and just feeling the good energy of who you are. You’ve now learned how to ground every day. You can bring in energy from above your head and down through your body to bring you calmness and help to focus the way you want to focus. You are on the right track.

It makes us very happy to help your readers. It’s so much fun for us to give answers that help people move forward. That is our purpose right now.

How Can I Alleviate My Neck And Shoulder Pain?

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

Vertigo: Hi. I’m wondering if The Council has any advice for my neck and shoulder pain. It started a couple months ago and my entire right arm hurts and tingles throughout the day. A Physical Therapist says it’s a nerve compression issue, but so far no actual therapy helps. The pain is only a 2 or 3 out of 10, but it’s really bothersome and it’s a major distraction from the rest of my life.

Council: What we see here, and of course we always start in energy first, but your 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th chakras aren’t fully working the way they should be. At this point we advise you to start every day or every other day doing the chakra breathing and spend a little more time on the 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th chakras. Once these chakras are aligned and working clearly, then you’ll address in your physical reality the compressed nerves in your neck and the right side of your head.

Physical Therapy is a wonderful thing, but it doesn’t release the nerve compression. And so we advise you to find a Chiropractor that you hear good things about and you can believe in, and have the Chiropractor work on the compressed nerves. If you start working on an energetic level first and then take the steps in the physical plane to work on the physical part that’s bothering you, you’ll be able to relieve the compressed nerves and the pain will be relieved.

Bob: Any suggestions on how long Vertigo should work with the energy and the chakras before seeking Chiropractic help?

Council: It’s always up to the person how difficult they find doing this, or if their intention is to work with this and see it working and feel it working. Do some visual work while you go into the chakras. What do you think you see? The more you do this, the faster the chakra healing will come in. We can’t give you a timeline because you are the creator. You will create when you are to heal this and how you are to heal this. And so we’d say when you’re working with the chakras and when it feels comfortable and you feel just a little different, then we advise you to go ahead with the Chiropractor and the physical part.

Bob: Do you recommend any sort of visualization during the chakra meditations for easing up the compressed nerves?

Council: You will do the correct breathing and use the correct colors. Start by going into your heart. What do you think it looks like in there? When you look at that green energy, do you see anything? You may not in the beginning, but keep asking the questions: Is it dull, heavy energy? Is it clear? Is it flowing? Does your heart chakra want to show you anything?

Then move up to the throat and you’ll work with the symbol for this chakra and the beautiful light blue. Again, do you see light blue all around your throat? Do you see it only on one side? Ask your throat what it wishes to show you.

Then move up to the Third Eye. Ask the same questions. What is in the Third Eye? How does the indigo color look? Is there something your Third Eye needs? Is there something your Third Eye would like to get rid of and show you?

Then move to your crown. Do you see the beautiful purple energy coming down into your Crown Chakra? Is there a nice flow of energy? Does it stop and go? Is your Crown Chakra accepting this purple energy? Is there something you can see? Is there a picture? Is something in the way of the purple energy? Is there something your Crown Chakra needs?

Play with this, and as you do you’ll see changes begin to happen.

Bob: But you don’t recommend any specific visualization for the nerve decompression?

Council: When you go and seek the physical help, as the Chiropractor is working on you, you can see yourself healing. See the Chiropractor releasing the compressed nerves and feel relieved that things are beginning to feel so much better.

All seven chakras are good to work on, but take more time on the 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th chakras.

Bob: Is it worthwhile discussing what may have caused this nerve compression?

Council: There are some memories there. There’s also some stress that comes from the current lifetime. It’s just the weak point where the stress has landed, but we see that this can be fixed.

Listen to the entire 6-minute audio recording of our session with The Council to hear all their guidance for Vertigo 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 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.

Do I Have Negative Energy Around Me?

This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, SoulSeekingNirvana, who asks about psychic protection. I’ve begun taking a lot of interest in spirituality and feel I’m going through a spiritual enlightenment process. I’ve begun to hear and feel a presence that’s mostly positive, but sometimes I get worried when this happens at night. Do I have any negative energy around me?

The Council asks if you ground yourself before you go to bed at night, or when you wake up, or when you read about spirituality, or when you meditate or pray to raise your energy. There are many energies that some would call evil, but really they’re just lower than where you are right now that come around from time to time.

If you feel anything negative, instead of going into a panic because things don’t feel right, calmly speak to this energy. Tell this energy it’s not welcome in your experience. Tell it you’re in the white light and this energy must leave. And according to the laws of the universe, this negative energy must leave. There’s no reason to fear or panic. And always ground yourself.

You do this by imagining roots coming out your feet and going down and attaching to the middle of the Earth. Then imagine mother Earth energy coming back up these roots, into your feet, up through your body, and out the top of your head. When you feel this Earth energy begin to call in the white light of God, of the universe, of the great protector into the top of your head, down through your body, out through your feet, and into the energies of the Earth. When you’ve done this you can surround yourself in a cocoon of white light. You are safe. There’s nothing that will hurt you.

If you wish to work with your crown chakra, pull in a purple light, which is the highest energy. In this grounding, in this white light, in this purple light you are protected. Nothing will hurt you. You can continue on your spiritual quest and meditations. Just make sure you include this grounding process when you meditate.

Keep crystals around you. In ancient times crystals were always used to protect one’s self and bring in good energy. Use the crystals and you’ll feel better moving forward. Clear quartz is the best crystal, hematite is good for grounding, and amethyst will protect you.

The Council doesn’t see negative energy around SoulSeekingNirvana. It’s curious spirits that are learning about our reality and are attracted to this life and how we live it. If you experience any discomfort or are not feeling safe, make sure you’re in the white light and tell the uncomfortable energy it must leave.

Listen to the entire 6-minute audio recording of our session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for SoulSeekingNirvana and the rest of us and tell us what you feel about it, or ask your own question.

Reaching Self-Realization Through a Third Eye Chakra Meditation

This post answers questions for The Council from a reader who goes by the name, Seeking Truth, who says during meditation they see their Third Eye opening and the colors Blue, Indigo, and sometimes Yellow. A meditation center that Seeking Truth visits told them it looks like they’re trying to connect with the divine through their Third Eye rather than through the Crown (7th Chakra) and it will be difficult for them to reach self-realization.

The Council says it doesn’t matter which chakra you use during meditation in order to connect with the divine. Many people connect with their higher self, God, or powerful force through the Heart Chakra. The Council feels that as Seeking Truth continues to meditate they will connect with the divine and it becomes more difficult when you place limits on yourself that you have to connect through a specific chakra. You are always connected to the divine. And it’s not commonly known that inside each chakra you can find an additional 7 chakras (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Purple).

You can connect to the divine through prayer, you can connect in your dreams, you can connect by staring at trees and appreciating their beauty, you can connect by staring at the sky or the stars, you can connect by watching animals, or appreciating babies. When you see these and other things and realize that you and it is part of the divine, you are connected to that divinity no matter what way you use to get there.

In addition to the ways The Council already mentioned to connect with the divine they also recommend prayer, and the meditations we’ve posted here for balancing and aligning your chakras. A good way to work on your Crown chakra is to close your eyes, look up to the top of your head, begin to pray for a divine connection, and imagine a beautiful White or Gold light coming into your head from above.

Seeking Truth finishes with a question about better paying job offers they’ve been receiving, but they’re reluctant to accept them because they have a young child and their current job offers them a lot of freedom to be with the child. The Council advises Seeking Truth to stay with their current job for now because the freedom to be with the child that this job offers is needed right now. The Council adds that Seeking Truth will only be paid less for a limited time and it’s good to spend as much time as possible with their child.

Listen to the entire 7-minute audio recording of our session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for Seeking Truth and the rest of us, and let us know what you feel about it.

Meditation to Balance and Align Your Chakras

This post is a follow-up to our previous post which answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Jaden. In the session we did with The Council to answer Jaden’s questions, The Council recommended we provide Jaden with some of their techniques for balancing and aligning his Throat Chakra, Third Eye Chakra, and Crown Chakra, which are traditionally the top three energy centers within our physical body. In this post we provide techniques for the balancing and alignment of each of the seven chakras, or energy centers, which are located in the body between the groin and the top of the head. Following the text below we’ve included an audio recording of these techniques for readers who desire this. Please let us know if you enjoy working with these techniques.

First Chakra

To balance and align your first chakra, which is located at the base of your spine or groin area, imagine a clear box in front of you. Now imagine filling this clear box with the color red. When you’re ready, with a single breath, breathe the red color out of this box and in through your nose, then down to the base of your spine, up to the top of your head, out through your mouth, back into the box, and then breathe normally. Imagine the red color leaving the box so the box is clear again, and then imagine the clear box disappearing. Your first chakra should now be aligned and balanced.

Second Chakra

To balance and align your second chakra, which is located two inches below your navel along your spine, imagine a clear pyramid, but without its top or cap stone. Now imagine filling this clear pyramid with the color orange. When you’re ready, with a single breath, breathe the orange color out of this pyramid and in through your nose, then down to the base of your spine, up to the top of your head, out through your mouth, back into the pyramid, and then breathe normally. Imagine the orange color leaving the pyramid so the pyramid is clear again, and then watch the clear pyramid disappear. Your second chakra should now be aligned and balanced.

Third Chakra

To balance and align your third chakra, which is located just beneath your breast bone along your spine, imagine a 3D image of a clear plus sign in front of you. Now imagine filling this clear plus sign with the color yellow. When you’re ready, with a single breath, breathe the yellow color out of this plus sign and in through your nose, then down to the base of your spine, up to the top of your head, out through your mouth, back into the plus sign, and then breathe normally. Imagine the yellow color leaving the plus sign so the plus sign is clear again, and then imagine the clear plus sign disappearing. Your third chakra should now be aligned and balanced.

Fourth Chakra

To balance and align your fourth chakra, which is located at the level of your heart along your spine, imagine a clear circle in front of you. Now imagine filling this clear circle with the color green. When you’re ready, with a single breath, breathe the green color out of this circle and in through your nose, then down to the base of your spine, up to the top of your head, out through your mouth, back into the circle, and then breathe normally. Imagine the green color leaving the circle so that the circle is clear again, and then imagine the clear circle disappearing. Your fourth chakra should now be aligned and balanced.

Fifth Chakra

To balance and align your fifth chakra, which is located in the middle of the throat, imagine in front of you a clear chalice or wine glass with a long stem and a cross located in the stem. Now imagine filling this clear chalice with the color sky blue. When you’re ready, with a single breath, breathe the sky blue color out of this chalice and in through your nose, then down to the base of your spine, up to the top of your head, out through your mouth, back into the chalice, and then breathe normally. Imagine the sky blue color leaving the chalice so the chalice is clear again, and then imagine the clear chalice disappearing. Your fifth chakra should now be aligned and balanced.

Sixth Chakra

To balance and align your sixth chakra, which is located between your eyes and slightly above your eyebrows, imagine a clear Star of David in front of you. Now imagine filling this Star of David with the color Indigo or dark blue. When you’re ready, with a single breath, breathe the indigo color out of this Star and in through your nose, then down to the base of your spine, up to the top of your head, out through your mouth, back into the Star, and then breathe normally. Imagine the indigo color leaving the Star of David so that the Star is clear again, and then imagine the clear Star of David disappearing. Your sixth chakra should now be aligned and balanced.

Seventh Chakra

To balance and align your seventh chakra, which is located at the top of the head, imagine a clear lotus flower in front of you. Now imagine filling this lotus flower with the color purple. When you’re ready, with a single breath, breathe the purple color out of this lotus flower and in through your nose, then down to the base of your spine, up to the top of your head, out through your mouth, back into the lotus flower, and then breathe normally. Imagine the purple color leaving the lotus flower so that it’s clear again, and then imagine the clear lotus flower disappearing. Your seventh chakra should now be aligned and balanced.

Closing

Use these techniques whenever you feel sick, tired, drained, or your energy doesn’t feel right. You should not use these techniques daily. As you learn more about each chakra and you feel that one or more of them isn’t properly aligned, you can use the techniques just for the chakra that needs realignment.

As mentioned in the opening paragraph, we’ve included an 8-minute audio recording of these chakra balancing and aligning techniques in the following section.

Question About Past Lives, Mental Issues, and a Future Life

This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Jaden, who asks for insight into his past lives, how they’re affecting his current life, and why he chose his current life?

The Council says Jaden agreed to live his current life for the fun of it, to take different lessons and change them for the better, to help the people around him, and to find a way to bring the love from spirit into his current life. Your current life isn’t about past lives. It’s about working with souls you know from other lifetimes to see where you are in relationship to them and to be aware of what you want that they’ve accomplished. They’d be like a teacher to you and open your eyes to things you can create in your life. There are others that will come into your life and you’ll see things you don’t want, and then it’s your choice to pull away from that.

You planned to meet people that would show you a better way to live your life. You wanted to choose spirits, learn where they’re at, and then claim what you wanted for yourself. This whole lifetime you’ll hopefully be meeting people, looking at how they are, what they’ve accomplished, where they are spiritually, determining if their thoughts are positive or negative, and taking what is positive from each person and add it to your life.

In your current life you have a free pass to choose your direction as you move forward. This is a ‘choose as you go’ life. There wasn’t some specific lesson you wanted to learn, change, or heal from a past life. You wanted to move forward and work with spirits that show up. Will you help them? Will they help you? Will they give you ideas about what you want and don’t want?

Jaden asks for suggestions about mental issues he’s going through. The Council says unclear thinking and trust are some mental issues you’re going through. There are emotions that set you off and can bring up a manic or a depressing response. This is from thoughts of lack or abundance you see around you. Find daily things to have gratitude for, even when things don’t go your way, and your mental issues will calm down and you’ll feel better.

The Council says your throat, third eye, and crown chakra need work and they ask Bob to provide their meditation techniques for healing them, which is done in the next post. Healing your throat will help you express yourself better and find creative things that make you happy. Healing your third eye will bring you clarity and help you see and hear things differently. Healing your crown chakra will open you to the energy of your higher self, of your guides, and get you more in touch with your purpose in this lifetime.

Jaden asks The Council for insight into his next life and The Council says that is entirely up to you. At the end of your current life you’ll decide what you want to build into your next life, the spirits you want with you, and the lessons you want to go through. The Council says it’s perfectly proper to think about what you’d like your next lifetime to be like. Nothing is written in stone. You create as you go.

The Council suggests Jaden be in the present, learn from the people around him, and he’ll begin to see things differently. If you stay on the path you’re on, things in your life will begin to change. And you’ll also change the future lives you create for yourself.

Jaden asks The Council where his next life will be because there’s a particular country he has in mind. The Council says at the end of this life when you go back to spirit and you’re ready to create another life, who you are in your current life goes with you back into spirit. All the knowledge, wisdom, and experiences are there and from this knowledge you choose when to go on, how to go on, where to go on, and who to go on with.

Listen to the entire 11-minute audio recording of our session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for Jaden and the rest of us, and let us know what you feel.

How Can I Communicate with My Spirit Guides Without Having Spiritual Readings?

This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Marie, who says she’d like more clarity when she communicates with her guides. For years she’s received information through spiritual readings and now she’s interested in additional ways she can communicate with spirit.

The Council begins by informing Marie she already receives information from her higher self in her dreams, whether she’s conscious of this or not. And they add that in past lives she’s done something called automatic writing and it will be good for her to continue it in this lifetime.

Sit quietly with a pencil and paper and meditate. Let your hand begin to move. At first you may get nothing that makes any sense – a word here or there. Write it down and don’t question it. Eventually you’ll get a few words and then a sentence. As you meditate and let this energy in, you’ll be able to communicate with spirit in this manner. Later when the communication is coming through stronger you can switch to working with a computer if you find this more satisfying.

Marie asks if there’s any difference between communicating with her higher self and communicating with other spirit guides. The Council replies that the higher self is who Marie truly is, and this higher self is connected to everything, but there are many other spiritual guides that she’s also able to connect with. Your higher self knows whatever information you desire and it’s you’re goal in this lifetime to bring this information into your reality.

The easiest way to connect with your higher self is to sit quietly and see what comes through. The Council doesn’t believe Marie will be able at first to stop her mind from distracting chatter, but it will slow down and information will come through a little at a time.  Gradually this information will develop more powerfully. When you wish to reach out to other guides that are around to help you with needed information, you can send your energy out to the universe through your crown chakra on the top of your head.  Ask for guides to come through that have helped you in other lifetimes and are here to help you in this lifetime.

You’ll know the difference between your higher self and other guides that are connecting with you by how it feels. When you connect with your guides you’ll know it comes from beyond who you are in this moment. Getting used to the different feelings about what’s your higher self and what’s another spirit, you’ll learn how to bring these in more and this will help you with the growth on your path.

Listen to the entire 5-minute session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for Marie and the rest of us, and let us know what you feel about it.

Meditation for Spiritual and Emotional Inspiration

This post is inspired by a question for The Council from Gayle. Gayle asks how she can have a deeper understanding and a better sense of the information she often experiences from her ancestors.

Who are Our Ancestors?

When Cynthia and I asked The Council Gayle’s question, they were careful to point out that it’s limiting to think of our ancestors as only people in our family bloodline. From The Council’s point of view, all human beings are eternal ever-lasting soul energies that experience many lifetimes, in many bodies, in many families.

From this reincarnational point of view, The Council encourages us to think of our ancestors as all the souls we’ve come to know and love through experiences we’ve shared in all our lifetimes (as well as between lifetimes). The Council believes this is a less limiting way of thinking about ancestors – a way of thinking that can make it easier to access spiritual and emotional inspiration and guidance.

Meditation to Improve Spiritual and Emotional Inspiration

The Council advises that prayer and meditation will help us develop the intuitive abilities Gayle desires. The Council particularly recommends working with the Crown chakra at the top of the head for spiritual intuition and the Heart chakra in the center of the chest for emotional intuition. They emphasize that working with these two energy centers together is a particularly powerful way to improve our perception of the ever-present inspiration and guidance available from spirit.
