Welcome back, everyone! July is a magical time of the year; filled with lovely weather and an abundance of natural beauty waiting to be explored. It’s important to take the time to appreciate the stunning scenery that surrounds us with sweet scents and vibrant colours.

Whether you're hiking through lush trails, lounging on a sandy beach, or simply enjoying a picnic in a local park, July offers endless opportunities to connect with nature and recharge your spirit. So, let's make the most of this enchanting month by immersing ourselves in the great outdoors and soaking up all the wonders it has to offer.

I'm pleased to provide you with this month's newsletter. I believe that the subjects discussed in this edition will capture your attention and offer you new insights.

* One of the topics that I'll discuss today is what the difference is between intuition and the higher self. It turns out that the topic is quite lengthy. Therefore, I’ll start by giving what is considered a more rational explanation of what intuition is. Recently, science began to catch up with the “phenomenon” that many of us have held as a precious asset throughout our lives.

If any of the newsletters resonate, please consider forwarding them to someone who might benefit from it.

Thank you for being a part of this community. I enjoy hearing from you, and if you have any suggestions for topics you'd like me to cover, please click on 'Your Suggestions' and let me know which subject would interest you. 

Over the years, I’ve gained many insights and knowledge on the subject of angels and guides. When I prepared to write about the subject, I realized I needed to break down the topic into smaller sections.

It always amazes me just how much information I have on the subject of guides and angels. Today, when I sat down to write it down, I realized that I had to cut the subject into smaller sections.

Today, I’ll go a little deeper into the arrangement between you and your Spirit Team.

There are times when it seems that you either don’t have any guides or they seem to be absent, but they are communicating and remain aware of what's going on in your life. When we’re overwhelmed, it’s harder for us to hear their messages. But don’t worry; they’re always working hard to get the messages through to you.

I shared last month that our guides, or angels, were assigned and chosen for us before your birth. They assist in guiding, encouraging, and steering us throughout our lifespan.

I had also shared a situation where the guides and angels had made their presence known, but the individual had consciously chosen to ignore them.

They aim to ensure that you follow your soul contract that was laid out for you and created by you. They provide guidance and assistance, and if you indicate a desire to establish a connection, they can also provide immediate help and guidance. Your guides are already conscious of the happenings in your life and are already sending signs and symbols to help you stay on the right track. There are instances when they send helpers to you, and sometimes even other spirits, to help in areas where these spirits are more skilled.

When they want to get in touch with you, they often send you communications to let you know they're around, aware, and nudging you to follow the path. To make it clear, it’s not what they are trying to have you do; it's that they are following the soul contract you set out for yourself. The difference between the team and you is that they are aware of the big picture, whereas for you, most times it feels like you’re walking around with a blindfold on.

There are times when your guides are working hand-in-hand with someone in your life. As an example, a cousin of mine is truly gifted. Recently, her guide shared that they had gotten in touch with my guides and worked together to help us get better acquainted. It’s to help both of us support each other along our journey.

There will come a time when you start to notice the synchronicities and how things have fallen into place. Our team's love and support are such a beautiful, magical dance that helps us navigate through life with more ease and grace, if we choose to acknowledge their messages and take the steps suggested.

The signs, symbols, and synchronicities are a reminder that we’re never truly alone and that there is always guidance and assistance available to us, even if we're not aware of their presence.

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

Today’s Topic

It turns out that the topic of the difference between intuition and the higher self is quite lengthy. Therefore, I’ll start by giving what some consider a ‘more rational explanation’ of what intuition is. It appears that science is slowly beginning to acknowledge the “phenomenon” that many of us have held as a precious gift and guide throughout our lives.

Today, I’ll be sharing the scientific perspective of what appears to be the beginning of the scientific shift toward intuition.

For a long time, in the eyes of the scientific community, their view was that the concept of intuition was a pseudoscience and therefore should be ignored or risk being ridiculed. The reason it was that way was because it couldn’t be explained or measured. Only recently has science started to catch up with this phenomenon, as so many of us have held it as an invaluable guide through the ages.

Scientists are finally starting to prove that intuition is real, and new theories concerning the biological basis for intuition are beginning to take shape. The reason being that there have been a number of studies that “seem” to provide evidence for intuition.

Finding a biological explanation helped persuade The Scientist that intuition exists. Here are some of the theories they’ve come up with: In one of the studies, the brain scans showed their caudate nucleus (part of the basal ganglia in the brain) was lighting up during a certain experiment, suggesting that the subcortical region might have something to do with intuition’s subconscious processing power.

Another study has suggested that the source of one’s “gut feelings” may literally come from your gut. Bacteria found in the gut are responsible for producing “brain derived from the influence of nerves on the nutrition of tissue; neurotrophic factor is what scientists call it.” It helps us with tasks like learning and memory. It can be one reason for the vagus nerve to send signals to and from the gut. Professor John McNamara is an English mathematical biologist; he’s retired but retains an honorary title at the University of Bristol. He suggests that intuition originating in the gut may have an evolutionary advantage; “hunger can act as a memory telling us there's not been much food around, which it's important to respond to in the wild.”

Other scientists think that it’s just the brain using stored knowledge of past experiences and incoming sensory information to make decisions, and our brain comes up with the most likely possible outcome, all done in our unconscious mind.

There’s one of the books written by David R. Hamilton, Ph.D. called ‘Why Woo-Woo Works.’ He does share some of the research that has been done in the past. He also believes the scientists’ research didn’t find positive results because of their bias toward what they perceived as pseudoscience.

I’m now about to discuss information on remote viewing, as I believe it shows one of the reasons why I find it odd that the scientists drag their feet when it comes to intuition. Remote viewing is an intuitive practice that allows individuals to access information not available in the physical realm to gain insights into distant places and events. An example is during wartime, when remote viewers are actively searching for what is going on in other parts of the world.

In 1971, the CIA began remote viewing experiments, and by 1972, they had conducted trials. In 1972, Russell Targ joined the remote viewing program. In 1975, the American Air Force became the primary founder of the remote viewing program at SRI, and the CIA terminated their involvement and funding. In 1977, the US Army’s remote viewing program was established. 1999 was the first remote viewing conference. To this day, they are still using remote viewing. (irva.org on A Brief Timeline of Remote Viewing and IRVA.)

Knowing that different governments in the United States and, odds are, other countries have used the skills of remote viewing, makes me wonder why scientists have trouble accepting that intuition exists.

* Next month, I’ll discuss what the higher self is and how it relates to intuition.

Tips on Meditation

I’ve received a couple of questions recently. One individual wanted me to expand on what automatic writing is and someone else wanted to know more about how to do it.

Automatic writing is a technique that someone can use to connect with their inner wisdom, and their higher selves for guidance, inspiration, creativity, and insights. It can also help you get past the blocks that might be keeping you stuck and find new solutions that you might have otherwise overlooked.

At first you set your intention of what you want to accomplish.  You then pick up a pen, and paper; quiet your mind, and let your hand write whatever pops into your unconscious mind. It’s a practice where you bypass your conscious mind, and tap into a deeper well of intuition, messages, and other possibilities such as communicating with your guides.

First, set your intention for what you want to accomplish. Then, grab a pen and paper, quiet your mind, and let your hand write whatever comes to your unconscious mind. This practice allows you to bypass your conscious mind and access intuition, messages, and other possibilities, such as communicating with your guides.

When I can't quiet my mind, I start writing down what I was thinking. Initially, it was just my thoughts, but with time, I started receiving answers. It was the beginning of a new door opening to get new insights. So, whenever I feel stuck, I practice automatic writing.  

The results were often rather surprising, helping me to connect with my higher self, my guides, the peace of mind that I’ve gained and countless insights. Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t jump right on whatever was written, I needed to see if it was something that fit with my highest good, and goals.

* Next month, I`ll provide more detailed information on how to begin automatic writing.
