I’d like to welcome everyone back! As the temperature rises and the days get longer, summer is just around the corner. It's a wonderful time of year when we get to witness the spectacular show of nature's beauty as everything around us bursts into life, filling the air with sweet scents and vibrant colours.

From the blooming flowers to the lush green trees, the world around us seems to come to life, offering a visual treat that is hard to match. It's the perfect time to enjoy the outdoors, soak up the sun, and take in all the beauty that summer has to offer.

I’m happy to share with you June’s newsletter. I’m confident that the topics covered in this issue will pique your interest and provide you with valuable insights.

* In one of today's discussions, I’ll be sharing some effective ways to take care of our nervous system. I’ll cover ways to maintain a state of balance and harmony, as well as a tip for keeping our bodies healthy.

Thank you for being a part of this community, and I'm excited to hear from you. If you have any suggestions for topics you'd like me to cover, just click on 'Your Suggestions' and let me know which subject would interest you. Thank you!

Today, on the subject of our guides, I’ll be answering the questions, “Do we all have guides?'‘ and “How many guides do we have?” Then I'll touch on the question, “How do our guides communicate with us?”

We all have guides, even if we’re not aware of who they are. I’ve often heard some people say that they don’t believe in guides or don’t have one.

Most people have between three and five spirit guides. You have a primary guide, who takes the lead and has been with you since you were born.

Some of us have two or more primary guides working as a team. You’ll find out how it works: your guide team is who you’ve picked in agreement with them when you planned out your current incarnation.

Some guides may come in and out of your life for various reasons. These guides are usually referred to as teacher or helper guides. People who have a large team of guides either work in the public eye or are healers who need to hold a larger amount of energy.

Another fact is that our loved ones or pets who have passed away may come and visit us. They may also lend a helping hand when they see that we need assistance. It does make it easier for your guides or loved ones to help when you give them permission or ask for help.

It’s important to know that each one of them respects our free will. If there’s a serious problem or emergency, the guides will step in. If you refuse, they’ll never force their will on you, or if you refuse their help, they’ll respect our wish.

“Ways our guides communicate with us.”

I have a story that will show some of the ways that spirit will intervene, yet leave that person have the final say. It’ll also show some of the ways they were trying to communicate with them. This is a story of someone I’ll call Sandra.

She had made a hasty decision to accept a marriage proposal. Sandra had asked if she could leave her car parked at my place while she travelled to an impoverished country to get married. She’s almost 50 years old and determined to carry out her decision, and nothing could stop her. I agreed to let Sandra park her car in the back yard. By the time she arrived at my place, she was already supposed to be at the airport.

We got into my car and started to drive towards the airport when she realized that she hadn’t grabbed her fanny pack, which had her passport. I turned around to get back home. I really wanted Sandra to stop and see what her guides were trying to tell her. I said,Wow, I’ve never seen such a sign from the spirit." I was shocked by her reply. She told me that the moment she accepted his proposal, her apartment became haunted. She described how items would disappear only to reappear hours later, doors opening and shutting without explanation, as well as unexplained sounds and smells that had persisted for the last two weeks.

When we arrived back at my place, Sandra double-checked her fanny pack to make sure her passport was still there. Then she realized that her wallet was missing. We began searching for it, but after over an hour of looking, it was still nowhere to be found. I decided to ask my departed loved one to help find the wallet, but first I admitted to them my reservation. Within five minutes, we found it. By then, Sandra was already an hour and a half behind schedule to be at the airport.

You’d think it was the guides last attempt, but it wasn't. I was feeling overwhelmed, so I asked her to use the GPS on her phone to ensure we were taking the right route. Everything seemed to be going smoothly until she informed me that her phone's battery was only 50% charged. It was then that I found out that she didn't have an adapter for that country, which meant that her phone wouldn't be charged during her two-week stay.

Then, her GPS started giving us the wrong directions. Since I knew the route well enough, I ignored the given directions. Sandra began to suspect that I was trying to sabotage her, so she asked me to follow the GPS instructions, and I did. In no time, it was clear that we weren’t getting any closer to the airport. I turned back and took the correct route, which got us there, but she was now two hours late and didn’t have a boarding pass.

Adding to the chaos, there was heavy traffic, so I had to park farther away. Unfortunately, it was hard for Sandra to walk due to her M.S., and security was already ordering me to move or get a ticket, and he wasn’t interested in what I had to say.

Despite multiple attempts to point out how her guides were giving many signs, she refused to acknowledge them. I was shocked that she was still able to get on the plane. The next day, when I was discussing the situation with a friend, she reminded me that her guides couldn’t have done more to stop her from boarding the plane without crossing the free-will line. Now, they will have a new plan and maybe even call for assistance to help her as best they can to keep her safe.

It’s one of the worst situations that I personally know of, where their guides made multiple attempts to try and help the individual. She was aware of their efforts but ignored them. In most cases, individuals either aren’t aware of or misread the signals, and that’s when the guides will find other ways of getting your attention.

Next month, I’ll dive deeper into some of the ways our spirit guides communicate with us.

Today’s Topic

In today’s topics, I’ll be sharing some effective ways to take care of our nervous system. Also, I’ll cover some methods to maintain a state of balance and harmony.

Many people are unaware of how a healthy nervous system can help us achieve overall well-being and a state of balance and harmony with our bodies. We frequently end up going around in circles whenever our sole focus is only treating certain medical ailments or emotional problems. We need to consider our body as a whole, including the nervous system, thoughts, emotions, and physical state.

I’ll share an experience I had while working on healing my emotional state and various aches and pains. I had made some progress, but I couldn't seem to fully recover. It wasn’t until I learned the impact a serious concussion has on a person. It can affect our emotional state and block the nervous system from working effectively. It can lead to remaining in a negative state, including various aches and pains, creating a negative cycle.

It was only after I learned how to heal the affected neural pathways that I began to see improvements. As I focused on healing my nervous system, my emotional state improved, and, over time, many of the aches and pains disappeared. This breakthrough allowed me to focus on other aspects of my well-being and fine-tune my overall health. Recently, I’ve learned that including the nervous system in all of the healing we’re working towards is key to better success.

Our nervous system goes into a fight or flight mode when we’re feeling angry, annoyed, frustrated, overwhelmed, stressed, worried, scared, or anxious. In the fight or flight response, our nervous system's main focus is ‘survival.’ So when we’re stuck in those emotional loops, your nervous system will need assistance to return to a balanced state.

The way your nervous system has learned to respond to adversity isn’t who you are. It’s simply what you've learned from the people in your life and the environment that you were in. When your body is in a state of fight or flight, it requires either movement or other sensory responses to bring you back to a place of safety.

Here’s a list of some of the ways you can use them to help calm your nervous system: Calming music, lighting your favourite scented candle, giving yourself a scalp massage, a weighted blanket, singing, humming, yoga, dance, connecting with nature, cold therapy such as splashing cold water on your face, a warm bath with your favourite scent, focusing on taking slow, deep breaths for a few minutes, or placing a hand on your heart and breathing deeply until you’ve calmed and reconnected with the present moment.

Keep in mind that if you find yourself more often than not in an emotional loop, you’ll find it beneficial to use these tools a number of times each day to help re-educate your nervous system that you’re doing okay. After a while, you’ll find it easier to remain in a better mindset.

Here are some ways that can assist your nervous system in regaining balance and harmony with your body: engage in regular exercises and activities, maintain a healthy diet, get proper sleep, go for a walk in nature, seek out a support group, or join a class that aligns with your interests. 

It’s beneficial to be aware that the gut houses trillions of bacteria and fungal cells that help keep your entire body healthy. 80% of your immune system is housed in your gut. If your gut isn’t healthy, your body isn’t healthy.

Also, most of the lymph nodes pass through the abdomen on their way back to the blood stream. Lack of lymph flow through the abdomen increases toxicity, which reduces the Vagus Nerve productivity and increases pain in your body.

When you include how the NS needs to be included when we want to heal, is also an important factor to keep in mind.

In January, I started the topic of the ego versus the nervous system (NS). The fact that we need to include the nervous system in all aspects of our well-being is why, for me, I believe the ego is one of the nervous system’s response systems. Our NS has learned, over time, a way to communicate with us. When you consider how the NS needs to be included when we want to heal, that is also an important factor to keep in mind.

*Next month, I’ll be discussing the difference between Intuition and the Higher Self.

Tips on Meditation

 Having trouble meditating? Your mind is so busy racing that it’s impossible to meditate. Odds are you’ve tried different ways of doing it, but without success. I too used to struggle with meditation, but over time, I’ve learned several ways of accomplishing it. 

It's been shown that in a group setting where the facilitator does guided meditation, it is more effective than doing it alone, especially when you first learn to meditate. There’s a huge variety of guided meditations on YouTube for you to listen to. Others will focus on a sound in the room that they are in, such as soft music, or the sounds of water, or of nature. When you’re able to remain calm and relaxed, sound can help you quiet your mind and connect with your inner wisdom.

Part of my personal journey started with journaling, because it was the only way I was able to quiet my mind. As time went on, I could focus more, and before I knew it, I was doing automatic writing. It was at that point, that I was able to connect with my inner wisdom, Higher Self, and also with my guides. Later on, I became a Master Practitioner of Hypnotherapy.

Over the years, my experiences continued to grow and evolve, the more I facilitated workshops on meditation, meet your guides, and many others topics. I hope these tips will assist you along your journey. Have a wonderful day!
