Last night as we sat in a sacred circle, steams of light poured in through the darkened window, and the sounds of thunder shook the house. As our spirit communication group met, we continued to bring our messages of love and peace from spirit, while each one of us quietly prayed within for the safety of all during this horrible storm. We had heard of a tornado that touched the ground not too many miles from where we sat, and we prayer for all those who had been in that tornado attack. We also prayed that we would be spared such an attack in the place that we sat in prayer.
Our class lasted much later than usual as it was impossible for students to leave at nine when the storm was at its worst. Finally everyone did leave and as I sat alone in the room, I gave a prayer of thanks and a prayer for all those who would be traveling on the road during the next hour to reach the safety of their homes.
Storms of this magnitude let us understand that we are guests in the home of the Mother Earth, and have very little control over such storms. Let us take care of our earth and our atmosphere to protect this beautiful home.

With a smile on your face
With a smile in your voice
With a song in your heart you erase all the worries within as the music seeps through every part of you bringing you joy and contentment.
As your mother would say “An Apple a Day Keeps the Doctor Away”
As you know in your heart, your mother was smart
And your heart also knows that when music flows it is joyful: the sure path to bliss.

3 Ways to Reduce Stress June 24, 2010

While we are all spirits living in physical bodies, it is hard for some of us to accept that our physical bodies cannot be active all the time, as our spirits can. When we dream our spirits can travel to the far corners of the universe. But our physical bodies and minds need rest, AND SOME OF US CANNOT STAND THAT!!!!!
They say we teach what we need to learn, so here are three ways to reduce the stress in your life.
ACCEPTANCE: Take a good look at yourself and accept yourself as you are. The fact that your best friend can eat ice cream all day and not gain a pound may have NOTHING to do with you. If you did that you might feel sick all day and gain five pounds. And the fact that your other friend can get along on four to five hours sleep a night has NOTHING to do with you if you need seven to eight hours sleep each night. You and I have to face ourselves and accept who we are and what we need to feel relaxed and healthy.
BOUNDARIES: If you are a nice, kind, intelligent, helpful and warm-hearted person (and of course you ARE) then everyone wants your attention and your help. If you do not set some boundaries you will find yourself running from one activity to another and one person to another. The result will be that you will have no time for yourself and you will become stressed out and scattered. You and I need to take out our calendars and schedule “ME TIME” in the same way that we schedule work, family and friends appointments.
LETTING GO AND LETTING GOD: Everyday, especially as we move into the later years of our lives, we hear about people who are in trouble, people who are ill, and about people who have passed on. If we are in the middle years of our lives we become focused on the problems of both the generation younger than us (our children) and the generation older than us (our parents). No matter what stage of life we are in, we hear about serious problems. While it is important to do what we can to help others in serious difficulty, we have to accept that some things are beyond our control and beyond our help. We need to let go and let God. At times the best thing we can do in a difficult situation is to step back and quiet ourselves. In that state of quiet, we can send our prayers to those in need.
My prayer is that each one of us can accept that while on the spiritual level there is no time, on the human level there are only so many hours in a day, and it is 24 hours we have to work with as human beings. Let us step back and look at the ways we use our time and find ways to become more relaxed and less stressed out.

Mood Management as a Spiritual Practice February 11, 2010

Mood management is a spiritual practice. Here are some “tips” that I hope you will find helpful.
One: Realize that you are a spirit living in a physical body, and with that physical body you also have your mind and the personality you have been developing since you were a baby. However, the core of you is not that body, mind or personality. Your spirit is who you really are, and has access to wisdom and knowledge that your mind and personality cannot easily access. As you get upset during the day and night, stop for a moment and realize that all the upset is going on within your mind and your personality. Your spirit is not upset.
Two: When you have realized that your spirit is not upset, focus on the spirit within and get in touch with the serenity and calm energy that is your spirit. Take several deep breaths and while doing so understand that for the moment you will let go of the upset within your mind and personality, and reside solely within the realms of your spirit within.
Three: When you are upset, choose words to say that are calming. For instance, you might like to say ” all is well within” or “I am a spark of Divine consciousness and all is well.” These words are only suggestions and ultimately you need to find your own words.
Four: When you are upset, choose an image to focus on that is calming. Would you like to imagine the ocean, a beautiful flower, or the mountains?
Five: Once you have chosen words to say and an image to focus on, use these spiritual tools not only when you are upset, but though out the day to avoid becoming upset. Prevent yourself from going into an emotional tailspin. When you feel your mind and personality getting out of balance, immediately say the words within your mind and focus on the image.
Caution: If you are deeply troubled, consider getting help from a professional counselor or joining a support group. Some of us go through periods of our lives where our problems are too heavy a burden to handle by ourselves.

3 Steps to REAL Confidence January 14, 2010
Posted by Carole Lynne in Feeling Better, practical action, Spiritual Awakening, Uncategorized, Worries.add a comment
While some weekend seminar leader may be able to pump you up into believing that you can do anything, you will not have real success unless you do the hard work that success requires. Many times quickly acquired confidence is false confidence.
Follow these three steps: you are sure to be more successful in your life adventures, and each success will bring more real confidence.
Introduction
Years ago, when I was a public speaking coach, people used to come for sessions and tell me that they had no confidence in their abilities to speak in front of a crowd. ”Make me confident” they would cry. I would then ask these people to give a short talk so that I could observe them. In many cases, people had good reason to lack confidence in their speaking abilities, as they were not good speakers. All the confidence in the world would not help them if they did not learn how to make an outline for a talk, how to rehearse and how to keep the attention of an audience.
To be confident, you need skills. Here are three steps to developing REAL confidence.
Step One: Write down a mission statement describing what you would like to feel confident about doing. Do you want to feel confident interviewing for a new job? Or do you want to feel confident the next time you go out on a date? Write a specific statement about what you want to feel confident doing. Call this your project mission statement.
Step Two: Make a list of the skills you need to learn or the things you need to do in order to feel confident carrying out the project you have described in your mission statement. If you want to feel confident looking for a job, your list might include organizing a new resume, getting some new interview clothes, and doing a practice interview with a friends, so that you can become more comfortable talking about yourself.
Step Three: Give your self a LARGE dose of patience, and convince yourself that it is going to take time to carry out your mission. If you try to reach your goal too fast, and without the skills and planning needed, you are likely to fail. If you want to be successful, give yourself time to succeed.
It is only in succeeding over and over again, that one can become truly confident.
Confidence for confidence’s sake is dangerous. For instance, I am not at all confident about flying an airplane or operating on a person who needs a heart replacement. As I do not have the skills to do either job: having confidence for the sake of being positive and motivated would be ludicrous. I do not think any of you would want to sit in my airplane or lay on my operating table, thank you very much!

When in Holiday Grief November 22, 2009

While we would all like to have 100% of happiness during the holiday season, the reality is that we do not. The holidays are a mixed bag filled with many memories, both wonderful and painful. For those who have lost loved ones, who have left their bodies and transitioned to eternal life, the holidays can be a time of grief and sorrow. And problems between members of our families can also make the holiday time stressful and sad.
Perhaps the holidays ask us to take a deep look at ourselves as human beings, and to accept that life is filled with many experiences. Life is a precious and wonderful adventure, but it also comes with many painful experiences. We have to cope. We have to endure whatever hardships we have in our lives, and continue to be positive and hopeful people. When times are tough, we must remember that good times and wonderful feelings may be just around the corner.

Guilt After a Passing November 5, 2009

“I was not there when my loved one passed”
While we would all like to be by the side of our loved one at the time of passing, it is not always possible. One of the hardest things to cope with after the passing of a loved one, is guilt. Not everyone feels guilt, but many do. As a psychic medium, I work with many people who are in deep grief and burdened with guilt. One of the things people feel guilty about, is not being with their loved one at the moment of passing.
I have talked with a woman who stayed with her loved one in the hospital 24/7, wanting to be with her loved one at the moment of passing. Then when she left the hospital bed for two minutes to go to the rest room, the loved one passed into eternal life. She was devastated and asks me “why did this happen?” She wants to know if her loved one wanted to pass alone to spare her the grief, or was her loved one angry at her?” All kinds of thoughts run through her mind over and over again as she tries to understand why her loved one did not wait for her to come back into the room before passing.
I cannot prove why a human being passes at a particular moment. It could be for very physical reasons, and it could be that the spirit of the human being makes a choice about when to pass. Many believe that there is a contract between the soul of the person and God and that the moment of death is in God’s hands. My experiences as a psychic medium have brought me to the conclusion that when the spirit of a human being passes into eternal life, the shutdown of the body and the mind do not always coincide with the moment the spirit leaves the physical body and makes the transition into eternal life. I sense that the spirits within many who are getting ready to pass on are beginning to leave their physical bodies long before the medical moment of physical death. For instance the spirits of people who are in comas may have left their bodies, but are still in the hospital room, trying to comfort their loved ones who are sitting by the bedside crying.
What I do know is that it is not always possible to be with a loved one at the moment of physical death. It IS possible to be with the spirit of your loved one, before, during and after the passing.
Remember that you can be with the spirit of your loved one at all times, and so if you are not able to be with your loved one at the moment of physical passing, you can still be with the spirit, even though you may not be at the physical side of your loved one. Place thoughts of your loved one in your consciousness and speak within your mind to your loved one. Or you may prefer to sing to your loved one as the vibrations of sound, whether sung out loud or simply “played with in the mind” are powerful and healing to the spirit of your loved one. And you do not have to be a good singer to send wonderful vibrations of love through sound.
When my father, whom I was very close to during his lifetime, passed into spirit, I was on the other side of the country. I was devastated, but I felt in touch with his spirit. In fact, I woke in the middle of the night and felt that he was passing. It was within the next hour that I received the news from family members who were with him. Many of my clients have had this same kind of experience.
It is never too late to communicate with the spirit of your loved one.
If you were not with your loved one at the time of passing, or if you did not feel in touch with the spirit of your loved one at that time, it is never too late to communicate your love. Just close your eyes and say a prayer and then talk to your loved one out loud or within your mind. I have had great proof in readings, that our loved ones in eternal life hear us even if they have passed on many years ago. I do not mean to insinuate that we can talk to them as if we were on a phone. But I know that thoughts are vibrations and that they can travel between the realms of our conscious earth life and the eternal life that many of us call “the spirit world” or “heaven.”
If you feel guilt after the passing of a loved one, know that are in the company of many who also feel guilt. It is all part of the grieving process. Try to focus on all the good things that you have done, and know that your loved one is not in eternal life, making a list of all the things you did that were not perfect. I have never had a communication with any spirit who came through in a reading with messages about all the imperfections of my client. In fact it is just the opposite. Those in spirit seem to have gained a greater understanding of life, and they are usually most appreciative for all that we have done for them and the love that we have given them and are continuing to give through our prayers for them, and through keeping their memories alive with the family.

When I lived in California, I knew a man named John who lived out of his van. He sold old books and records and traveled from town to town. I was working as a musician then, and he knew all the musicians in the towns he visited. I would walk with him sometimes and he would look at a public park and say “welcome to my park.” He knew the world belonged to him even if he did not own much of anything. What a fortunate and wealthy man.
Sometimes it is easy for us to feel sorry for ourselves, but if we take a look at our lives there are many things to be grateful for. If we have places to live and food on the table, we have alot that many people in our world do not have. And yet, so many of us become despondent and greedy, always wanting more, more, more. When this happens, we waste the precious time we have on this earth.

Worry: Toss It August 26, 2009

” Worry: Toss It” Those words sound trite and impossible. How in the world are we able to toss worry, especially when we are surrounded by personal problems and are surrounded by headlines on TV and on the Internet, designed to get our attention FAST as they are all about problems.
The only way to “toss” worry is to practice mindfulness and be aware of each moment. The real truth is that our problems do not invade every moment of our lives, unless we work hard to make sure they do so. If you look outside and see a beautiful bird and really allow yourself to focus on the bird and hear its lovely song, your problems will not consume that moment. If you have a grandchild who jumps into your lap and nearly knocks you off your chair, you can enjoy the laughter and your worries will not consume that moment unless you make sure to worry as you laugh.
Tossing worry does not mean that we do not confront our problems and take whatever steps we need to take to pay our bills, take care of our health, and be of service to members of our family who have serious health problems. To toss worry means to take practical actions to make our lives more manageable and then the rest of the time, stop worrying and have a good time!

Acceptance is Happiness August 16, 2009

Acceptance is the key to happiness. Of course, we often cannot control what happens in life, but we can choose how we react to situations. It takes alot of energy to deny the existence of a troublesome situation. It takes much less energy to take a few deep breaths and admit to ourselves that we have to cope with a problem.
Acceptance does not mean that we do nothing. In fact the acceptance of a problem is often the first step that can motivate us to take the practical actions we need to take in order to improve the current troublesome situation.
Sometimes when I am upset, I take a few deep breaths, and each time I inhale I say in my mind “I accept, I accept.” I do the same as I exhale. Believe it or not, I often feel bliss when I do this, even when facing a difficult problem. Perhaps I feel bliss at this moment because in my acceptance I have started to relax and again become in touch with the fact that each one of us is a spark of Divine Consciousness.
