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

Healing your spirit is a process which at times is not easy. In order to heal and move forward, you must actually look at and acknowledge the pictures, programming or pain that you may be stuck in.

I’m not referring to intellectualizing as much as holding on to the energy and using it to define who you are. You can analyze all you want but until you are ready to clear out the energy, it will stick around and keep coming up time & time again.

That being said, it’s also about taking the steps to do this. Change is difficult and scary for most of us. It’s easier to stay where we are. Even pain creates a comfort zone of sorts. At least you know how you feel!

This familiar feeling, although it hurts or feels empty, is indeed familiar. If/when you are ready and decide to heal there is a letting go of the familiar and you move into unknown territory.

I think that in general, people who have endured a lot of pain whether it be physical or emotional put their best ‘face’ forward. Some are even embarrassed by it so they keep it all to themselves and suffer in silence & isolation.

There are also those that tell you how awful they feel, but are so caught up and focused on the pain that they attract more of the same. They seek activities and busy-ness to stay occupied, not quieting the mind and BEing long enough to let go, end that chapter of their life and move on.

Regardless of putting your best face forward or ‘doing’ to keep busy it actually takes a lot of effort to hide or cover up the pain. In fact it can be exhausting! On many levels you are not showing your true self to the world and it’s tiring to always be someone you are not.

One of my dearest friends is writing a book on healing emotional abuse. We’ve been friends for years and I never really knew what she went through until a few years ago. In her new blog DETERMINED NOW she says it wasn’t until she was “sick and tired of being sick and tired” that she finally decided to stop analyzing, let go of the blame and live her life.

I’m grateful for our friendship, the love in her heart and being able to watch her heal. Although her true healing journey has just begun, I can see clearly that she has made a decision that will forever change her life.

What all this comes down to is CHOICE. You can choose to heal or you can stay in the place that you are. Choosing to let go of unhealthy habits/behaviours, emotions that don’t feel good or resistance is something to work on every day.

You can meditate and have all the tools you need to heal, however until you are ready, you may or may not use them . It’s certainly ok if you are not ready or choose not to make change in your life BUT I can tell you from personal experience that when you choose to heal you will free yourself from the chains that bind you.

Find the love in your heart and acknowledge all those wonderful things about you that make you uniquely…YOU! Wake up to your beauty & truth! Unlock the chains and have the freedom to fly! And remember this: when you find peace within and close a door, there is another one very near on the horizon ready to open! ~Shine Your Light Debbie
