SPIRITUALITY – Page 12

The greatest gifts in the world are not wrapped in the most beautiful paper tied neatly with a bow. Boxed gifts and material possessions cannot heal a hurting soul. The most precious gifts you can give are those of love, compassion and forgiveness.

This year those gifts are more important than ever; Our economy is in a shambles, people are losing their jobs or homes, many are in pain and losing hope. You might not recognize those hurting inside as you pass by them on the street or you might be the one in pain carrying the burden of an illness or emotional pain which cannot be seen. People may lash out and hurt you not because of something you said or did but because they are hurting inside themselves. It might be you who does the lashing out for the same reason. NOW more than ever is the time to open your heart, forgive and have compassion for those around you and the best way to do this is to start with yourself.

If you or someone you know is carrying a heavy load it is important to remember that you (or the others) are not broken and don’t need fixing. What is needed is love, compassion and understanding. Until you walk in another’s shoes you can never know what triggered an emotional reaction or outburst. This is true for you as well. If you walk around thinking you need ‘fixing’ that is the message you put out to everyone you meet. Sometimes it’s necessary to bravely look at yourself and your own burdens. Do have expectations of how others should treat you as if you are the only one carrying burdens? Do you love and respect yourself? Do you treat your body with compassion and forgiveness? If you expect others to treat you with love, compassion and forgiveness no one will be able to live up to those expectations unless you treat yourself that way.

How you treat yourself is how you teach others to treat you. It is precisely the vibration you put out that others react to. Take a moment to reflect on those areas you can love yourself more. Can you forgive yourself if you’ve lashed out at another whether (in your eyes) they deserved it or not? Do you love yourself for who you are with all your faults? Do you treat your physical body with love even if it’s not perfect? Do you strive to open your mind and expand your knowledge so you have a deeper understanding of yourself and or what someone else is going through? Can you put judgement aside and forgive yourself for the indiscretions and choices you’ve made which may have inadvertently hurt either yourself or someone else? Now is the time to love yourself and forgive. After all you’ve been through love is the one thing that stands by you, has faith in you, supports you, and is always there for you. Love teaches you to forgive the seemingly unforgivable. Compassion and forgiveness lead to loving unconditionally.

Open your heart to love. Allow love to flow through your heart and surround you. Allow your actions to match. We are all connected by love and when we show love and compassion through our actions every moment is a loving moment. Our actions show the outer world what we have inside. Our actions show the intimate relationship we ultimately have with ourselves. Make gift giving a daily habit by giving the gifts of compassion, forgiveness and love. Start with yourself….begin within.~Shine Your Light Debbie

This post is to answer your questions about energy, healing and spirit. The questions come from real people and the answers given are not the ONLY answers but merely a brief snapshot of what could be a full blog post in and of themselves. In the future I’ll post more of these so feel free to ask questions on my Spiritlightinsight Clairvoyant Readings by Debra Facebook Page.

Steve asks: “What percent of a person do you think is special and unique from everyone else? My theory is that although everyone is unique, we all have more in common than difference. And that for some it means finding that unique energy, and for others, it means losing the unique energy to fit in with society. What is your experience when working with others?”

Answer: In reading your question I see two very unique thoughts coming through. If I were to assign a percentage it would be 100%. Each and every one of us has a unique energy. No ones energy is exactly the same as another. No two people create or vibrate in the same way and each of us have different thought processes in addition to our ‘being-ness’. Yes, we have a lot in common however we are individuals. One never loses their unique energy but one might be living from someone else’s truth. Working with clients what I see most often is they have accepted programming, invalidation and/or limits as their own truth. In a reading session I guide them back to their own truth and unique energy. A simple ‘hello’ to someone’s spirit acknowledges them as being more than their circumstances and allows them to heal, take back their power and feel ‘visible’ in a world where often times one feels invisible and insignificant.

Cindy asks: “How does one heal with the loss of someone?”

Answer: This is one of the most difficult things to do and I truly think everyone heals in their own way and their own time. When I work with clients healing from loss of a loved one the first thing I do is help them release the energy grief of others so they can heal their own grief. When someone passes they collect up their energy to take their step out of the body. This is why one feels ’empty’. Focus on the beautiful memories and give yourself time. The physical body needs time to heal and the grieving process and release is a part of it. Embrace the process and know the person (or pet) will forever be in your heart and that their spirit is alive and well on the other side. There many resources to help you heal. Psychic Medium Mark Anthony’s book “Never Letting Go” is about healing with help from the other side. He also has a wonderful FB group called “Never Letting Go”.

Psychic Medium Allie Cheslick asks: “Why are there folks in the Metaphysical community who preach non judgment but then do exactly the opposite?”

Answer: It’s called spiritual competition and sadly it’s prevalent in the metaphysical community. Judgement is an energy and one of the reasons it takes over is because the “judges” have lost their space to fame, or their clients and/or students. Unfortunately this occasionally translates to them judging clients as well. It’s invalidating when one is not acknowledged as a human being with feelings who is hurting and desperately seeking answers and/or in need of a healing. As a part of the metaphysical community my goal is to own my space and not get caught up in what I call the psychic drama of who’s the best and most accurate. It’s not for us to judge or become the authority for someone else. There are many healing modalities, types of readings, styles etc. One way is not necessarily better than another one. For me it’s about healing the spirit and guiding a client to find their own truth because ultimately every person has the answers they seek within them. Sometimes people just need a bit of help healing to get ‘unstuck’ so they can see the bigger picture and find their own truth.

My answers may not be your answers nor do I answer for the entire metaphysical community but that’s my 2 cents worth (hopefully) from neutral! 🙂 ~Shine Your Light Debbie
