Where Should I Travel To Or Relocate To Permanently?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Alice, in response to our post, Is There A Specific Career I’m Meant To Do, Or A Place I Should Live?
Alice: This is interesting. I’d also like to know about places I should travel to, or relocate to permanently. And were there any significant past lives?
Council: Well we will tell you. This is very interesting. There’s a lot going on.
If you want to travel, yes, go and do it. Go to Egypt, go to England, go into the Americas where the southern Indians are. There are many, many places. But really what’s going on, in a past life you were a monk in Japan. You lived in a temple and were never ever allowed to leave, and it was always your desire to see what was outside. What would it be like? And that seemed to get in the way of you relaxing and doing your rituals, your daily chanting, and your daily praying as a monk.
So what is suggested here is to travel anywhere just to move, but to go back to Japan, go to the mountain of healing, Mt. Koriyama (Bob’s note: we think they meant Mt. Kurama), and spend time there. Visit as many temples as you can, and see the feeling it brings back to you. You will feel more appreciative now of that time than you did when you were actually living there (in your past life).
So what your spirit is trying now is to go back and find the things that you should have perhaps been appreciating. That is what is happening to you now.
Alice: I feel very drawn to living a nomadic lifestyle…
Council: Of course, you wanted that when you were back in Japan (in your past life).
Alice: …and would like to know some first steps to take. I’m thinking of Egypt as the first country on my wish list.
Council: Wonderful. Go to Rome. Go to New York. Go to India. Go anywhere, anywhere at all because you wanted that so badly, and it was in the way in that last life when you were a monk. It took away a lot of the spirituality you were looking for. It took away the ability to be grateful for a lot of things. And so, this is a time where you do a do-over.
Bob: Any suggestion on how long Alice should travel around to these different places around the world?
Council: Whatever feels right. Always follow your feelings. You can go to one place and then, all of a sudden have this feeling, I have to go back to Japan. I have to go to those roots. I have to find out where I was and what it was like, and that can happen as quickly as possible, as quickly as you want to learn how to appreciate. And so just enjoy it. Travel for as long or as short a period as you need, and it will all come.
And so we send you love, and happiness, and joy, and adventure, and gratitude in everything that you do.

Where Should I Relocate To?
This post answers questions for The Council from an anonymous reader.
Anon: I no longer feel like I’m living in the correct place. I’m drawn to relocate to either a new province, or overseas where my husband grew up.
Council: We see here already that this was your desire in pre-planning this incarnation, so we suggest you follow through on that. And also, when you do relocate, there will be beneficial ways to travel, and to see other places, and to meet other people. That was all that was wanted also in this incarnation.
Anon: Moving overseas feels more freeing to me…
Council: Yes
Anon: … but I’m concerned because the country appears to be politically unstable.
Council: At this time in your incarnation there are a lot of places that feel unstable. And yet it’s your choice to be there to learn how to experience it, how to deal with it, and to turn it around and make it favorable for you and your family.
Bob: So it sounds like the pre-planning was to move overseas to the country where her husband grew up.
Council: Yes.
Anon: I feel the urge to move quite quickly and I’m not sure where this is coming from. I was wondering if The Council could provide some guidance for me. Thank you very much. I really enjoy reading all the questions and responses.
Council: The feeling of moving more quickly is because you want to get on your path and experience what you wished to do in pre-planning this. There’s nothing negative about that feeling, but it’s just your higher self telling you, “Okay, let’s do it.” And it will be a wonderful experience for you.
Bob: Getting back to what you mentioned earlier about in their travels, there was something about other places.
Council: Yes, and it could be just day trips or week trips or just to move around, but it all will be beneficial and for things that are wanted.
Listen to the entire 3-minute audio recording of our session with The Council to hear all their guidance for Anonymous and the rest of us, and let us know what you feel about it.

Son’s Anger Issues – Employment – Past Lives – and a Move
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader who goes by the name LearningSoulSite, about her son’s anger issues, her job, past lives, and a move for her family.
Son’s Anger
LearningSoulSite says particularly when her son is at home he gets angry and he’s difficult to control. The Council suggests looking at where her son is learning this anger from, and who else in her family reacts with anger.
LearningSoulSite asks The Council what her son’s lessons are in this lifetime and how she can help him. She has a feeling it’s got something to do with her husband’s lessons because she often notices similarities between the two of them. The Council begins by saying there’s a lot her son has seen but doesn’t understand, that is contributing to his disappointment. The Council says there’s a lot to understand here because this anger isn’t just about her son, but also about herself and her husband.
The Council says LearningSoulSite’s biggest challenge in this lifetime was to become independent. They feel her interactions with her husband don’t show this independence and she doesn’t always say what she’s feeling. Her son picks up on this tension of holding back her feelings. The Council advises LearningSoulSite to talk about what she truly feels. Don’t back down on her beliefs and how she desires things to be.
The Council says LearningSoulSite’s husband has chosen in spirit to be disagreeable and have a bad temper, but he makes this choice out of love for LearningSoulSite. When he’s being disagreeable, LearningSoulSite has the choice of going along with her husband or having the self-love to create what she desires, to be stronger, to be independent, and teach her son to speak what he believes and not back down out of fear.
A New Job
LearningSoulSite says due to visa-related issues she may loose her current job in the near future and asks The Council if she should stay in Engineering or take up writing or something else. The Council sees the necessity of finding another job and they say it will be easier if she stays in her current field. If she has a love for writing, practice it before she tries to earn her living from it. Do it for personal enjoyment right now and as her writing skill grows she can consider changing her field.
Past Lives
LearningSoulSite asks what kinds of previous lives her family has shared. The Council says in one of the lives that’s affecting her now, LearningSoulSite was a slave and had to go along with what was asked of her. Her current son was around her in this other lifetime, but not related to her. He has seen her pattern of ignoring her feelings and has chosen to come into her current lifetime to see her spirit grow by making decisions and learning the challenge of independence.
A Move for Family
LearningSoulSite says if she wants to continue working, her family needs to move to another country and asks The Council about the timing for this. The Council says it’s good for her to change her environment and learn to grow from these changes. It’s also good to teach her son it’s okay to move many times, that she can always succeed no matter where she is, and that it’s wonderful to meet new people. Her son will benefit from this move in the future if he decides to go down the road he’s planned for himself. If there’s an opportunity to move to another country, take it.

Welcome
Bob & Cynthia
Welcome to Ask The Council, a blog where you can ask a group of loving and wise spirit guides a question and get an answer, for free. You can also contact us for a paid private phone session with The Council, and you can read the questions other readers have asked and the answers they’ve received. Other posts contain quotations from The Council that we hope you find inspiring, uplifting, and educational.
Ask The Council a Question
If there’s a question you’ve been thinking about and you’re curious how The Council might answer it, we encourage you to either use the blog’s Comments feature to ask your question, or contact us for a private phone session. You can click here to go to the ‘Let us know what you think about this post, or ask The Council a question’ section of this Welcome post and type your question there or you can type your question in the same section at the bottom of any post that inspires you to ask a question or leave a comment.
Since the blog is currently a project we do in our spare time it can take a while for us to do a session with The Council on a question and then publish a post on the session. Depending on the question and the session it can sometimes take weeks after a question is asked to publish a post with The Council’s answer. Please be patient.
The Council
Cynthia is able to communicate with a group of five non-physical spirit guides in a manner similar to the way Esther Hicks communicates with and speaks for the spirit guides, Abraham, and Jane Roberts communicated and spoke for the spirit guide, Seth. I (Bob) basically interview The Council as they speak through Cynthia during what we refer to as a session. Sessions generally last 5-15 minutes and are usually audio recorded. During the session Cynthia is aware of what The Council is saying and she also receives visual impressions and other types of telepathic communication from them.
The Council’s Basic Guidance
Since we began these sessions with The Council around 2009 they consistently emphasize a few basic ideas that we attempt to summarize here:
1) You are an eternal spiritual being in a physical body.
You are the energy and vibration of continuously expanding love, intelligence, and joy.
Your physical experience in your physical body and your psychological experience of your personality is a small part of the totality of who you truly are.
Let yourself imagine from time to time what it might feel like to experience more of the wondrous totality of who you really are, and don’t be surprised if you are able to experience this more often.
2) You are the creator of all that you experience.
As you open to the possibility your true nature is greater than you ordinarily perceive, it becomes easier to consider the possibility that this expanded you is truly the creator of everything that you experience.
If you’re used to thinking of yourself in a more limited sense, the idea that you are the creator of your experience may be difficult to understand. Our post, What About This Idea That We Create Whatever We Desire, offers insights into this idea.
3) You are here to expand the love you are into physical reality.
You chose, as a spiritual being, to come into this physical reality to experience the joy of expanding the love you are as a spiritual being, into this physical reality. This is your purpose for being here.
