Is it Necessary to Crash & Burn?

The universe has an interesting way of sending messages and answers our way. At times these messages come gently and others, well, we need to be hit on the head until we wake up and smell the coffee! The real question; Are you aware of the messages and answers that are being given to you?

Last year I had a reading from the amazing Sheryl Blumenthal. Yes, I do readings but it is challenging to see myself as clearly as I can see others. 🙂 I knew her reading would be a powerful healing but I had no idea that the messages she would communicate had been given to me many times before.

During the reading I experienced a series of pictures flashing before my eyes of each instance this information was delivered to me and I either couldn’t have it or wasn’t listening. So where does the crash & burn come in you might ask? It’s in the ‘crash’, hit me in the head with an anvil to make me listen part and this time, I listened!

Each one of us has a different ‘crash & burn’ but no matter how it comes it makes us stop and listen to those messages we may have missed or realize the prayer has been answered even though we thought it wasn’t. It’s about life lessons & miracles that we consider trivial until something happens to make us finally sit up and take notice.

Crash & Burn comes in many forms. It could be illness in your own body or that of someone you love. Death of a loved one. An accident of some sort that makes you aware of your body due to injury or surviving an event that by all views should have been fatal. It could also be in terms of a relationship ‘break up’ or personal economic disaster. It could indeed be all of the above at once or within a short period of time.

No matter what the crash is for you, it’s the thing that happens that makes you say ‘Wow, where have I been? Have I been sleeping? Why didn’t I see that before?’ ‘Thank you God! I’m happy to be ALIVE!’ The crash brings you to your senses! It really does in effect wake you up, shows you where your attention has been (or hasn’t been) and hopefully allows you to re-evaluate what you value & where you’d like to have your attention.

Is it really necessary to crash & burn? No! As you increase your awareness, awaken & listen to the messages you are receiving you can begin to use the information to heal. Healing is a process and it may be that you need to clear certain things before you can truly ‘hear’ or ‘see’ what you are receiving about something else.

All of this is about bringing your attention back to YOU! When your attention is outside yourself seeking things, answers or worrying & obsessing about this or that, you are no longer listening to your messages and honoring who you are.

The crash & burn makes you aware of those things that are really important in your life but so do the gentle messages that are being given to you every day. Listen to the gentle messages, recognize and honor who you are. Cherish & value the people you love, the love in your heart and life itself!~Shine Your Light Debbie

In Spirit We Trust….

In a recent conversation with Elliott Eli Jackson author of “From God to You the Absolute Truth” regarding a challenge I was having, Elliott asked me ‘what do you desire?’  

A short time later he said ‘once you have stated what it is you desire, let it go and let spirit do the rest. That simple question and statement  prompted an illuminating and very empowering moment.

After a few minutes of thinking about exactly what it was that I desired, I responded.  It felt good to actually SAY it out loud…Then at the end of my statement came the words ‘but what if….?’

The very instant the words ‘but what if…’ came out of my mouth I realized that much of my attention had been outside of me trying to ‘figure out’ what was going on! 

While those may not have been the exact words, the exact words really don’t matter because it is more about knowing & trusting that spirit is involved and taking care of things in ways we can’t fathom. The healing begins when you trust yourself enough to state what YOU really desire.

Although it seems simple, which it is, it may not always be easy! There are energies and pictures that come up as you  state your truth.  Many of those energies are based on fear, judgement and invalidation. None of which are YOURS!

Have you noticed that when you begin to focus on what you desire your thoughts immediately shift to ‘but what if…?’ You may notice fear that you aren’t good enough to HAVE what you desire.

It could be that you are afraid of hearing the answer or that you might make a wrong choice. You may notice invalidation of your body to attract the right partner or that what you desire isn’t what someone else desires. 

Whatever comes up for you, the ‘what if” energy doubts are NOT your truth so you can’t solve them, however you can certainly CLEAR and let them go!

Your inner voice will lead to your truth so trust it!  Trust that your spirit self and the universe will take care of HOW to make your deepest desires reality. You are a child of universal spirit and worthy of all your dreams.

You KNOW what YOU desire! Why not state it and focus on that vibration clearly with no ‘ifs’, ‘ands’ or ‘buts’? There is no fear, judgement or invalidation in this! 🙂

Decide what it is that you desire and align yourself with it. Communicate your desire clearly…state it out loud! If you notice any energy of doubt or fear just let them go and allow the universe & spirit take care of the rest!

Trust in spirit and your inner wisdom. Trust in yourself for you are wiser than you may give yourself credit for! Trust the universe and that all good things are already on their way to you!~Shine Your Light Debbie
