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.)

Why Has It Been Two Years Since My Last Paying Job?

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

UsWeAreLegends: I’ve been trying, trying, and trying to make my career work. I just don’t know what to do any more. It’s been two years since I last earned money. Can you give me any insights on what can be done?

Council: Well, when you say trying and trying, the energy that comes from these words is very stressful. So we’d say, right now instead of trying and trying, just try to relax and try to find something that holds your interest. Not where you have to fit in, or you have to do this or you have to do that to make money.

In past lives you did create a lot of paintings, you created sculptures, and you created jewelry for people to wear. And so right now we’d say forget about the pressure and find something you can create with your hands, with colors, with shapes, and see how that makes you feel.

The feeling is what’s going to bring the right kind of work for you, but you must be in the vibration of love. And so while you’re doing that your energy will change. What you attract to you will change so there will then come something into your life that will pay you a salary, but it will be something you enjoy, and something that you wouldn’t feel stressful doing.

And so we say for you to grow, search yourself. Search how you feel when you create something which you consider funny, something beautiful, or something that makes you smile. If it was poetry, if it was a story, if it was something that you made with your hands, go into the vibration of creating and just enjoy it. And while you do that, the career, or what you want to be paid for, will come to you.

UsWeAreLegends: I have one other question. I want to know my understanding of basic laws through the eyes of spirit, as in how far have I come to understand it, and what can be improved or corrected?

Council: So now we’d like to explain to you that you are aware of all the basic laws of spirit. You’re aware of who you truly are. And what you do from lifetime to lifetime is to create a situation that you go through, whether it’s funny and a happy life, or a life with challenges. And what you do is, each life knowing yourself, what you create is different.

So in some lives you’ll proceed and you’ll learn more, and you’ll bring in more love and more knowledge. In other lives what you create could be a challenge, and it could be difficult for you to remember what you call the basic laws. And you go off the path, or you experience something where, in your human condition you would think makes you backwards. And then in the next life you can create something where you are spiritually intuned and aware of all the things that you know as spirit.

Each life is different, but you are intuned and you are exactly where you want to be. And you know all the basic laws and you know how to use them. And as you create your life, you’ll bring into your experience things that will allow you to use these laws and to grow from it, or to meet a challenge and not to remember how to go through it, and grow from that also. Each life is different.

Bob: Is there anything in UsWeAreLegends particular lifetime that can be improved or corrected?

Council: Find more things to be grateful for. We see that’s lacking here. The more and more you are grateful for the littlest things, day by day, that you can look at and say, I’m happy about that. Or isn’t that beautiful. Or I never saw this this way. Oh, I understand this. That changes your vibration, and that will bring you forward more and more into the vibration you want. That will bring you the kind of love that you want, the kind of life that you want, and the kind of success that you want.

We thank you and we send you all love, and blessings, and happiness, and wonderful, wonderful uplifting thoughts. And think of being in the light, and in love, and in spreading it out everywhere you go.

Listen to the entire 6-minute audio recording of our session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for UsWeAreLegends and the rest of us, and let us know what you feel about it.

Why Am I Plagued With Injuries That Prevent Me From Running?

This post answers questions for The Council from an anonymous reader about their running injuries.

Anon:  I’ve been plagued by running issues lately. Running is critical to my mental and physical health. It’s also time spent connecting with friends.

Council: A belief that you have is that running is critical for you. When your spirit is ready to change that belief, which we see is coming up, you will change the thought that it is critical. It is not critical. It is a belief. Slowing you down by not having you run is your higher self telling you there’s more to learn, there’s more to do. And so when you don’t slow down and look at your life and at options, it’s common to have something happen that will slow you down.

And so we’d say meditate and examine the thought: Why do you think running is critical to your health? Believing this will make it critical, but there’s nothing critical to your health. What is critical is what you believe. And so when you believe you are spirit, you are in control. And it’s possible it’s time to let up on the running, maybe just for a while, and learn something else.

Anon: Why do I keep injuring myself while running?

Council: To give you more time to explore.

Anon: My knee, my foot, it’s driving me crazy. I don’t have time or money for physical therapy and I don’t understand why it’s necessary.

Council: It’s necessary because you need the time to discover more about yourself, to discover more interests, to perhaps change your path and increase what it is in your life, and to practice manifesting what it is in your life. And so that is why this is happening.

Anon: Aren’t our bodies meant to be in motion?

Council: Some bodies are and some aren’t.

Anon: I feel like my vibration is highest when I run often, so I’m trying to understand where these barriers are coming from.

Council: Ahh, so you’ll find a way to feel a high vibration without having to run. Very interesting.

Anon: I’ll take it easy, but then can I meditate myself back to a near-daily run?

Council: You can, but your higher self knows what you’ve planned before coming into this reality. And so trust your higher self. Meditate. Instead of meditating on running again, meditate to see how to expand. What’s out there that your higher self, which is you, has planned for you in this lifetime? What a wonderful adventure that is.

When you meditate, connect with your higher self and say, “Show me the way. What is it that we planned?” And let go and relax, and don’t be consumed about having to run. You’ll find your world expanding and you’ll learn more about yourself. And so we say relax and meditate.

Look how smart your higher self is when you’ve planned something and you aren’t heading in that direction. So something is created, which is the knee, ankle, and leg problems, to have you go and find the time and go in the direction of the things you wanted to learn. It’s a wonderful gift.

And so we send you blessings, and joy, and love, and the ability to have wonderful memories, to laugh, and hope, and 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’ve chosen to be in your life have agreed to come and help you. They’ve agreed to learn from you. There are things that they need from your experience. And so you are all there, everything is planned with love, and when you go back into spirit you’ll go: “Wow, what a trip.” So enjoy and have fun.

How Can I Connect with My Spiritual Guides?

This post answers a follow-up question for The Council from a reader named, Fuschia, who says not being able to directly communicate with her spirit guides is frustrating for her and contributes to her isolation and despair. She’s tried various techniques, but isn’t making any progress.

The Council says sometimes when you want something so badly and you try so hard and you are so frustrated by not getting what you desire, that you don’t allow what you want to happen. The Council suggests Fuschia ease up on how she goes about connecting with her spirit guides.

Go outside on a nice day, sit or lay down in the grass, find a tree you can look up at, and relax your eyes as you look at a particular branch. In a very short time you’ll see an aura around the branch. This is the energy of the tree. Next pick a sleeping animal and relax your eyes again as you look at it. Soon you’ll see energy around this animal and the energy will begin to move. Next you can pick a house or a building and relax your eyes so you can begin to see its energy. Then you can begin to look at other human beings and begin to see their energy.

After you practice this for a while you’ll begin to realize you can see the vibration of everything that has energy, including other spirits. Then when you sit quietly to meditate and begin to hear sounds and feel feelings that come with these sounds, you can begin asking your guides questions. In this way, knowing that you’ve been able to see energy, you’ll then be ready to connect and hear communication from your guides.

Go slowly with this process. As you try so hard there isn’t the relaxation that’s needed to perceive these different modes of communication. Relax into meditation, relax into daydreaming, and you’ll make your connection with your guides.

The Council closes by saying that Fuschia’s guides are always there with her (as all our guides are) and they’re communicating on many different levels that you’re not aware of. When you need answers to experiences you have, the answers are always there. On some level you already have this information. As you relax the answers to questions will come to you. In Fuschia’s case it’s all about relaxing.

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