Feeling bad? Ask a question and set yourself free!

“Kristin, I’ve been suffering from bouts of anxiety/depression for many years, and it seems to be resurfacing. I know now it has to do with energy, as it feels like a dark cloud that comes and goes, and I just feel lost right now. I was guided to let reach out to you and see if you have any insight or guidance.”

There is so much coming through to say to you about this, which is a sign to me of how capable you are and how powerful your question is. I’m going to give you a lot of information and a few different tools to help you understand and deal with what you’ve been feeling.  First, though, before I even go there, let me say this, because it’s absolutely true: You are a potent, infinite, limitless being of Love and Light, and you have all the answers that you need within yourself to get through this and “heal” from it completely.

So if whatever I say next resonates, will you allow yourself to have it? If it doesn’t then check to see if there’s something you’re resisting, which is a great indicator that there’s something to be dissolved within you for you to know the truth, which is good information in and of itself. Or, it could simply be that there’s something else that’s even more true for you, and that’s great too. What matters most is that you have the capacity to shift the energies that you are experiencing within yourself and you can begin to shift them today.

Would you be willing to allow that to happen? Would you be willing to believe that it’s possible for you to shift even just one iota today and feel a little bit better? Would you be willing to allow for even greater possibilities than that?

What if it’s possible for you to have and receive something so great today that it totally rocks your reality and allows for the possibility of joy, ease and glory beyond even your wildest imagination? Would you be willing to allow for that?

What would it take for that to happen for you today?

Please don’t try to answer that last question. Instead, let’s leave that one for the Universe/God/Goddess/Source/The Divine to answer for you and to expand your universe to allow for different possibilities. How great would that be? What else is possible?

Create change by asking powerful questions

This is a powerful beginning of creating positive change, because it’s all about opening things up, creating expansion and asking questions. It’s a simple, but huge shift away from drawing conclusions and living according to limitations, which is what a “why” question is all about. Asking why won’t shift your reality, but asking a powerful question will. Powerful questions expand and they create openings for new possibilities. They aren’t about asking questions that define or contract, and they don’t even require an answer, especially when we offer them up to Source to work though — questions like “What would it take for me to be happy?” When you don’t try to answer them, but instead let them go, Source begins to work them out. Your Highest Self kicks into gear to create scenarios in your world that create change and line up to what it is you’re asking.

You already have a powerful awareness. You’re correct when you say that what you’re feeling has to do with energy. Your awareness of the dark cloud is exactly that – a dark cloud of energy that’s hanging over your head. The problem has been that you’ve been trying to solve the dark cloud and the heavy, dark, depressing and anxiety provoking energies from within your own body. The fact that they haven’t been going away even though you’ve been trying to figure them out or process through them is a HUGE clue. What it means is that these energies more likely than not don’t have ANYTHING to do with you in the first place!! What if that were true or even a possibility? What if it were possible that none of that heaviness, depression and anxiety belong to you at all? And what if knowing that is the beginning of setting you free? Would you be willing to allow for that possibility for even just the next few minutes?

Let me ask you this: Truth, are you an immensely caring being who wants things and people in your life to be better and happier? Does the answer “Yes” to this question feel lighter? It does to me. This is a really good gauge for truth. Things that are true will feel light and things that are not true will feel heavy. So, what I’m getting is that yes, in fact, you are an immensely caring being.

So, truth, being the incredibly caring being who you are, is it possible that you’ve taken on a lot of energies that have nothing to do with you in an attempt to make things and people around feel better – for you and/or for them? Again, I’m getting a big YES. “Yes” feels lighter on this one, too.

It’s great for you to get your own answers, your own truth, so let’s run this clearing process to help you get even greater clarity for yourself, especially since I’m going to ask you more questions, and I’ll want you to tune into them for yourself:

Anything that doesn’t allow you to clearly perceive the lightness and heaviness of things where a lightness conveys a truth for you, will you destroy and uncreate it all, from every level of your being and every dimension of your existence, conscious and not, physical and not?

Yes? Good! It’s important, by the way that you CHOOSE “Yes,” because if you don’t choose for yourself, who will? Isn’t it high time to choose for yourself and allow for change so that you can begin to feel the lightness of who you are rather than the heaviness of who you’re not? I’m not telling you to say “Yes,” but I am saying that it’s important for you to choose it for yourself if you want to initiate uplifting change in your life. You get to choose. Always. It’s always your choice.

By the way, I’m not really asking you to destroy energy, because energy can’t be destroyed, so what this means is asking you to destroy the old form in which the energy existed so that something new and true can take the place of it for you.

Who Does This Belong To?

Now, let me ask this really powerful question: truth, in terms of all the energy that’s been having you feel bad (depressed, anxious, and the cloud over your head), who does all that belong to? You, someone else or something else?

Don’t reach for an answer. Instead, tune into the energy of each potential answer using that powerful awareness of yours. Say each of these to yourself, “It’s mine,” “It’s someone else’s,” and “It’s something else’s.” Which of these feels the lightest? Which is true for you?

If you get the answer that it belongs to someone else, because this feels the lightest to you, then let me ask another question: Would you be willing to return all of that to sender with 10,000 fold consciousness? Yes? Great!

The thing is, you can take on all kinds of energies to have someone else feel better, and you may even be doing this unconsciously, but the end result is that you end up feeling heavy and depressed and bad, so it really doesn’t serve anyone. Energetically, you can’t solve anyone else’s problems. Only you can solve your energetic “issues” and when you’re trying to solve other people’s stuff, nine times out of ten you’ll end up feeling the effects of it – bad – and the other person won’t feel that much better either! Sometimes they even need their “stuff” back in order to resolve some issue that they’ve had for years, maybe lifetimes. There are other ways to help them out, but taking their energetic problems into your body or mind won’t do anything but have you feel bad until it’s cleared out. So would you be willing to return it all to sender with 10,000 fold consciousness?

When you return it with consciousness, they get the energy back, but with a very high level of consciousness that helps them to release it more quickly, too. It’s kind of like getting a package in the mail with a depressing note inside, but attached to the note is a big huge brightly colored post-it with the words “Warning – what you’re about to read is a total lie and an energy that will make you feel bad, so rather than read it and believe it, through the whole darn thing into the fire – burn and destroy it immediately!” And it works.

So, in case you held back a bit or there’s something still left, would you be willing to return it all to sender with 10,000 fold consciousness? Yes? Good! And so it is.

Now it’s possible that you got the answer that it belongs to you, so let me ask you this: Truth, as an infinite, limitless being of light and love, is it possible for a heavy, depressing energy to truly be yours? Which feels lighter, Yes, or No?

No, feels lighter, doesn’t it? If you’re an infinite being of light and love, how can anything that’s truly yours be heavy? Maybe it belongs to someone else, maybe it belongs to some other time/space dimension or reality in which you’ve existed, but let me ask you this: does it really even matter? If you have the opportunity to release it forever do you really need to know from where it came? Would you be willing simply to let it all go?

Anywhere that you’ve perceived or believed this heavy, depressing, anxiety provoking energy to be yours, or that it’s your responsibility to DO something to solve, resolve or fix it from within yourself, would you be willing to destroy and uncreate it all, from every level of your being and every dimension of your existence, conscious and not, physical and not? (Yes?)

Please say this out loud: I am willing to release, destroy and uncreate any and all of what has me perceiving and feeling this heaviness (depression/anxiety, etc.) and believing that it’s mine along with anything that generated, created and institutionalized the lie that it was mine to have, hold, keep or fix in the first place, from every time/space dimension and reality of my existence.

Are you feeling lighter? Is there room to feel even lighter than that? If so, run this process over and over until it feels complete. And then some more. And then run this process a bunch of times, too:

I am willing to allow myself to release heaviness and lies and energies that have me feel bad in exchange for the truth of who I really AM. Anything that doesn’t allow me to know, be, receive and perceive the truth of who I am, I destroy and uncreate it all from every time/space dimension and reality of my existence.

Something else – Healing the World

Now, there’s a chance that you got a lightness, a truth for you, around the energy belonging to something else. What that means is that you’ve been a channel, so to speak, for the world’s problems. So, in effect, you’ve been attempting to heal the planet. While this may have worked, MAYBE, thousands upon thousands of years ago it doesn’t anymore. The energies on this planet now are too dense for your body to handle and they really need to be given to the Earth to resolve and transmute into a form of energy that is no longer harmful to anyone. You’ve been attempting to do a great service, but it’s too much for your body to handle, so:

Would you be willing to return to Earth all the energy you’ve been holding that belongs to it, and return it with 10,000 fold consciousness?

Yes? Great! Please do so now.

Tune into your body. How much lighter are you feeling? If you’re not, keep returning it to sender. It may take a few times. I like to return these kinds of energies three times with a nice big exhale each time. Don’t worry about hurting the Earth. You’re actually doing this planet a huge favor by not carrying those energies in your body and instead choosing to be the Light who you truly BE. That’s an enormous healing for the planet and everyone on it.

You can run these processes as many times and as often as you need to and remember: Ask powerful questions, questions that provides awareness and expansion, rather than a conclusion, such as “I feel bad and I am afraid I might continue to feel bad.” Who does this belong to? is one example of a powerful question that has the power to change your entire reality to a much more joyful one. How does it get any better than this? is another one that will create a shift, because it’s asking for a new reality, one that you may not have even considered. Ask and then step aside (be quiet) and let the Universe deliver something to you, an answer or a shift in your life that will likely be better than one that you could possibly imagine on your own.

Would you be willing to make a promise to yourself to use this tool, this powerful question, “Who does this belong to?” for the next THREE DAYS for everything you think, feel and perceive that doesn’t uplift you and then return energies that don’t belong to you to sender with 10,000 fold consciousness?

I don’t want to spoil things for you by telling you how this will feel, and truly, only you will know, but what I can say is that this tool has the potential to complete shift your world and your reality and have you feeling incredibly lighter than you do now. But don’t take my word for it. Try it for yourself and see.

Wishing you the awareness of the Light and Love who you Truly BE,

Kristin

Holy Smoke!

This was written by a friend of mine Sheri McMurray, and when I read it, I immediately asked her if I could share it. It is such an amazing story. (She is a flight attendant. which helps to know just for ease of reading mid-way through.)

The day [my cat,] Chloe, died I was trying to clear the energy of our house because there was so much grief and suffering, and I wasn’t sure yet what to do for her. So I put on this healing chakras cd and incensed the whole house. Then I ate lunch while she lay in her favorite box upstairs. I went to the cupboard to get a cookie, and as I did so, smoke came up from my heart area into my face. Just like a puff. I was so startled, I automatically blew it away and looked down at my shirt to see if I had accidentally caught myself on fire when I incensed. No. I thought, maybe Chloe just passed away. I ran upstairs to see, and, again, no. She was still there.

We ended up taking her in to the vet that afternoon, because the vet said the grief and suffering I was feeling in the house was probably coming from Chloe, and we didn’t want her to suffer. It actually ended up being a beautiful moment when she was released, because she was so ready and, I think, appreciative. We loved her so much. When we came back into the house, it felt better. I felt like all the love the three of us shared was now the energy of the house. My husband and I cried for days. I took five days off from work and he and I shared our grief.

The day I went back to work, I was happy. It was good to be “normal.” On my return flight from Phoenix to Chicago, I was serving dinner in first class, serving directly from the cart in the aisle. When I got to 5E, her tray table was out, as was 5F. I asked what she wanted for dinner, chicken or pasta, and when I pulled the tray out of the cart, a puff of smoke came from her into her face. We were both stunned. I managed to go on serving, but we both were confused and surprised. I thought should I say this happened to me a few days ago, but thought no. When it happened, I stared to try to make sense or logic of it. I saw particles in the air right above her face and head. After I was done serving, when I picked up her tray, I said, so what was that? And she said, “I have no idea. It was like ashes from an ashtray, and I can’t find the source.”

I was so excited, because I really did feel like God was speaking to me. First the puff of smoke, then an ashy puff of smoke, all while I am contemplating life and the loss of Chloe. I tried to find the answer on the internet (because doesn’t the internet have all the answers?!) I sat down and thought, what to google? I googled “holy spirit” and “smoke” and got tips on how to stop smoking. I then googled “holy spirit puff of smoke” and got our bible verse that my husband and I found on a note card by the lake before he went in for his stem cell transplant.

“Brothers and Sisters, I plead with you to give up your bodies to God. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice to you. Do not copy the customs and behaviors of this world, but let God transform you by changing the way you think. After all he has done for you, is this too much to ask? For then you will know how perfect and pleasing her will is.”

There really is no logical reason this bible verse would come up from googling “holy spirit puff of smoke,” but it did. None of it is logical, but don’t you love it?!

Thanks for letting me share this with you. I hope your day is blessed and beautiful.

Spirit Speaks – Forgiveness and Love Part 7

If you’ve come this far, and it’s a long way from where you started, spiritually, then you might as well join me for this step, because it’s a powerful one. It erases the hurt that you held in the first place and will offer you a profound healing in your heart of hearts. You will not be the same after this simple exercise. This is it: offer love to the person who wronged you.

Imagine it. Literally! Like energy waves flowing from your heart to the person who you hurt or wronged you. Not forgiveness, but love.

Why?

Because love will heal the wound in them, too, and it heals the space between you. It offers the recognition on a very deep spiritual level that you and he are both players in this game of life, and that in Truth there can be no wrong, but simply forgetfulness. You have forgotten that you and he are, in Spirit, One and the same, and to send this person love is to send it to your heart as well. You cannot give that which you do not have, and when you offer love, you have it for yourself, too. Love heals all wounds. It heals the wounds of you as victim, and it heals the wounds of you as perpetrator. It heals on conscious levels, and it heals to the layers that are carried so deeply that all you see or feel is the remnants that have risen to the surface. Love heals.

Be willing to offer love, even if it feels off, awkward or unreal. It’s kind of like fake it until you make it, but I’d say it this way – it won’t feel real until it feels real, and then you’ll know why you’ve done any of this in the first place. You don’t have to offer any of this aloud, in writing or in person. In fact, it’s more powerful when done through the ethers and not in a conscious, physical way. Making it a personal interaction can so easily bring up the wound or the other person’s ego. Remember, this exercise is for you, to free you, and if the other person benefits, then there’s even more love to go around. They may, and they may not. They, too, must be willing on an inner level to receive the love and to forgive, so be careful not to make this an outward exercise or one where you have expectations. At the same time, I can say that this has worked perfectly every time I entered into the exercise, and that it’s the most powerful when you take time to do all the steps. It’s worth it. You’ll see yourself blossom and a lightening up in the interactions with the people with whom you’ve been living the stories that ego created – your and theirs. And you will have known, after the fact, just how powerful a Creator you are. So why not choose to create peace and release all that does not exist within you in Love?

Spirit Speaks – Forgiveness and Love Part 6

You might think this step is about forgiving the other person. That’s what ego would like you to believe, but it’s not. It’s about forgiving yourself for having had the judgments you just listed in Step 2. You see, the ego would like you to forgive, and you can, but it’s easy for ego to take over that process and have, even in the most subtle ways, tinges of “he did me wrong, but I forgive,” or “I’m a better person; I can forgive.” Stuff like that. It’s way better and a whole lot easier to simply forgive yourself. Why?

If you’ve been holding a grievance against someone else, you’ve been holding it against yourself, too. Ego has, anyway. So it’s time to forgive. Forgiveness opens the doorway to love. Try it, you’ll see. Love is standing right behind that door waiting to enter, and all it takes is forgiveness. And the best part is this doesn’t make any sense at all to ego. If you’re reading this now, and it doesn’t make sense, you’re ego is trying to take over. Or maybe it already has. Maybe it’s saying, “I don’t have to forgive myself. I didn’t’ do anything wrong! And I certainly don’t have to forgive that son-of-a-whatever either! No way!” That’s ego speaking, right?

So even if it doesn’t make sense, do it anyway. You may not see until after the fact why this works, but it does. You don’t have to trust me or anyone who tells you this. Just be willing to do it and see for yourself that it works. Because you will.

Spirit Speaks – Forgiveness and Love Part 5

Now, for the sticky part….recognize that all these judgments, all these grievances, are ones that you’ve held against yourself. Gulp. Yes. Remember, this person may have done real things, acted in real ways, and yet you would not have attracted them into your life had you not, on some level, invited it. The invitation was the self-judgment you’ve been carrying against yourself. We are all our own worst enemies. Let me say that a slightly different way – our ego is our own worst enemy. Ego sits within us in consciousness and also in our non-consciousness. When you say something aloud or with awareness and you correct yourself, that’s one thing. You can immediately offer forgiveness.

You might errantly say, “Oh, I’m such an idiot. Why did I do that?” Don’t think that statements like that go undetected by your inner tape recorder. It gets them all. You can correct it immediately by offering forgiveness, and that’s powerful. “Oh, wait. I didn’t mean that. I AM bright, brilliant and beautiful, and it’s ok that I messed this up. It’s all okay.”

But what about all those things you say to yourself that go undetected, that fly just below the radar? These are powerful, too. You know they’re there when people come into your life and do things you don’t like, or when you have experiences that don’t bring you joy. It’s because YOU are holding things in non-conscious places within that attract it. It has to be this way or you would not be the powerful CREATOR who you are! You create everything in your life that happens. Absolutely!

So, to simplify Step 2, it’s this – recognize that if you’ve been judging someone else, you’ve been judging yourself, consciously or, more likely, non-consciously. This step is about opening up to the awareness of what’s really been going on inside of you. Once you do, once you really allow yourself to feel the weight that these judgments have had on you, move quickly onto Step 3.

Spirit Speaks – Forgiveness and Love Part 4

Start by listing the judgments that you hold against the person you have in mind. And be honest, very honest. The more real you are with yourself, the better this will be. It’s best if you can write it out, on a piece of paper, because then you’ll have the physical evidence of all that your ego has been holding onto. Yes, it’s the ego that holds, not your spirit, because none of what’s being held onto is your ultimate truth; it’s the roadblock to your Truth. So list all the judgments. If it helps, write out the experience. What was it they did that made you feel so bad? This may be fresh in your mind, so that step isn’t crucial. What’s important is to list all the things you don’t like about that person. All of them. The more you list, the freer you are about to become. Just don’t let your ego take this to a place of vengeance or regret. This is an exercise in freeing your spirit, not going so far into the ego of it all that you can’t get out.

Spirit Speaks – Forgiveness and Love Part 3

When you hold a grievance against anyone, in effect you hold it against yourself. They become your mirror. When you see them, what you’re really seeing is yourself, and the judgment that you think you have against them, is really one that you have against yourself.

Whoa, say what?

Yes, it’s true.

You see, when we hold judgments against ourselves they can be too painful to really see, and there can be many layers of “stuff” held on top of that original judgment, so we no longer see ourselves as having that “flaw,” but it’s there and you’re seeing it in the face you look at when you see that other person. You may see that person as a persecutor, but what you’re really seeing is a part of yourself that you hold out – consciously or not – to be the same, and it’s a part of yourself that has yet to be forgiven.

That other person may present as your opposite rather than an exact mirror, but it’s still a judgment against yourself. For example, you might see her as your persecutor, but when you hold her in that light, you, by default, become the victim. You, literally, are holding an energetic claim over that person’s head to be your persecutor, and you hold one over your own to be the victim. Not much fun, right?!

So, what to do?

There are three steps. They aren’t always easy, but they work. If you really want to be free, then give them a chance. Remember, this isn’t about calling this person up and saying, “It’s ok, I forgive you.” Not at all. You may or may not ever speak to that persona again, and you may never agree with what they did. This is about freeing yourself from all that you’ve been holding inside. The more emotional you are about it, the more it gnaws at your gut, the more there is to let go. I’ve witnessed this process over and over, and have distilled it into 4 steps. I’ll post these one at a time to give you time to process and digest and process each. [To be continued.]
