Dialogue with Spirit Guides--The Big Picture

Here's the poster for our upcoming Dialogue with Spirit Guides event.  It was designed by Sacha as a gift to us and I think she did a splendid job.  We're looking forward to inviting the guides to speak through Jane to answer questions about the big picture on June 11.

To see the guides responses to recent questions, please go to our new website by clicking here.  Some people were having trouble registering at the new website earlier but I think this problem has now been solved.  And you don't need to register to post a question....or to read an answer from the guides.

Allowing yourself to make a choice and move forward

Becky writes, “I am in the process of trying to clear out the clutter in my house and then move. I can not seem to come to terms if I should rent my house out, sell my house, have my boyfriend move here and we rent his house out, move in with my boyfriend and sell my house or buy a house and move in with my boyfriend. So many options and she’d like some guidance.

This dear one is afraid of losing, afraid of losing this state of being.  A little bit of a control freak but not so much that she can’t understand it and move forward.  To be -- is being all that you are, allowing yourself to grow and move forward.  Owning all parts of you that need to control.  It’s not something to be afraid of.  If you see it for what it is you will embrace it and move forward.

This feeling of being unable to step forward is a fear that you will be unable to control what you have.  You build walls around you my dear.  You need to understand that.  Is it for protection?  Or is it for…control.  They are one and the same.  Blessed one. Take time to understand your choices, take time to see what is truly before you.  This urge to get things organized is simply an obstacle that you have created in order to not move forward.

So if she wants to move forward, what should she do?

First, be.  Stop all tlhings.  Be still.  Take stock or witness or truly see who you are.  I know you have.  And those things cannot be removed taken away from you by moving with another being.  Understand who you truly are—a true survivor.  It’s not about the move, it’s about losing that that is.  When you see that and understand it you will understand that you will lose nothing by making a choice.  You will only grow.

Thank you. 

Dreams and a sense of kinship with a certain person

FS asks about dreams she has been having.  She says, “For about five years now I have been having dreams about a man I know that I will call M. We are not close and I don't know him that well but I do feel a certain something. I am not sure how to describe it -- kinship maybe or familiarity. I definitely like this man very much. Is there any other reason for my feelings or the dreams or are they simply thoughts passing through my mind.

Interesting that she says “simply thoughts.”  For this an amazing thing in itself: thoughts passing through a mind.  And why would they be there?   The dreams of course are all creations of her own being: needing, wanting this kinship, this knowing, to be more familiar.  The fact is she does know this being from a past existence.  And it was a very interesting relationship then.  And yes, there is a certain thing that they have yet to finish in this lifetime, but it is not a major promise.  This being (FS) has chosen a very many promises this lifetime and that’s why she has very little time to find pleasure for herself.

Allow it to be.  Give it space.  Do not put a lot of words between the two of you.  Allow the feeling from one being to another to be. And you will see in time.  I know what you want my dear.  Allow this to open and it will be what it has to be.

Thank you.

Past lives, regimentation and and self acceptance

Jennifer asks about past lives.  She says, “I wonder if you can tell me how past lives affect me in my life. I have struggled with self-love and self-acceptance for most of my life and wonder if this is residual feelings from past lives or if these feelings developed as a result of experiences in this life? I recognize self-acceptance is a major goal for me in this life and I feel like I'm having troubles breaking some of the negative coping strategies. I asked a question several months ago about my spirit guides and response mentioned I was in some ways fighting the regimented aspect of my being. I'm wondering if this refers to my challenges with self-acceptance and if you can provide any insight on how to work on it.

This gentle being needs very much to take a deep breath—a physical breath.  To fall in love with the physical world, to see it in all its wonder.  Her process definitely relates to past existences as all are present in the vibrational code of who she is.    Her spirit is a compilation of all elements of learning from past and present.  The task of loving oneself is one of putting honour in your own learning and growing.  It is sometimes a difficult task in the physical world. The greatest challenge is to love oneself and thus take on the choices and fulfill the promises to the best that you can.  If you do not love yourself the promises are very distorted.

Yes it is true from a previous existence, a monastic lifetime, there is a part of her wanting and not wanting to have some ritual. But at the same time she understands that it wasn’t the rituals that created the growth. Part of her fears and doesn’t like rituals but part of her also feels they may be a key to unlocking self love.  Her previous existing was not about self love; it was about teaching that everyone else was more important.  So I am not surprised that she now has difficulties with this. 

Also, in the path she is in right now she has been concerned about the wellbeing of others in her family and their state of strength and their ability to carry on and be what they needed to be.  She saw this very clearly and so was learning how to help others instead of herself.

This was in this lifetime you’re talking about?

Yes.

So this feeling about regimentation and resisting it may come from that monastic lifestyle?

Yes.

Any final words for Jennifer?

Dear one, I want you to fall in love with yourself and your world.  Don’t be afraid to see yourself in the image of nature about you.  It was created for you: to see, to bring pleasure to bring growth.  It doesn’t have to be all difficult.  You are a beautiful being.  You love to love, to laugh, to find joy.  All of these are tools in this physical world to find out about loving.

Thank you.  I’ll pass these words on to Jennifer.

Dialogue with spirit guides--the big picture

 

For those of you who live on southern Vancouver Island, we’d like to share our plans for a second Dialogue with Spirit Guides event on June 11th.   Jane will be onstage at the Belfry Arts Centre and will invite the guides to speak through her to answer questions from the audience. The focus of the dialogue will be on the bigger questions—things like life purpose, the planet, the environment, health and healing.  Maybe you’d like to ask about social issues or religions and spiritual practice.  Or terrorism, or life on other planets, or what happens after death--the questions are endless and this is a rare opportunity to ask them directly of the spirit guides.

The evening itself will also be part of a big picture. Local filmmaker Krista Loughton and her crew will be filming the session for a documentary on Jane’s work with spirit guides.
We’re excited about the film aspect of this evening, as it’s a way to continue our work bringing the wisdom of spirit into the physical world.  Audience members who are willing to be part of the film will sit on the main floor of the theatre.  Those who don’t wish to be on camera will be seated in the balcony.

If you were at our event last October you’ll know that Dialogue with Spirit Guides is not a scripted event. The content of the evening will depend upon who is in the audience and the questions asked. But one thing is sure:  the spirit guides’ love, light and laughter will offer a fresh perspective on our lives and can open our hearts and minds in a powerful way.  We invite you to join us on June 11th to consider the big picture. 

Tickets for this event are $25 and will be available in advance through the Belfry Arts Centre Box Office at 250-385-6815 and at the door.   If you live nearby, please help us to get the word out about this event by letting your friends of co-workers know about it. We’re looking forward to a fascinating evening.  Hope you can join us.

Old connections and bonds of love

Many years ago I dated a young man that my family did not like. They said he came from the 'wrong side of town'.  He moved away but I always wondered about him over the 40 years that I have not seen or heard from him. He was a gentleman and so kind to me. I cared for him deeply but knew that my family did not. Last month an acquaintance from that time came back into my life. We have many similarities now. I spoke of this man and said that of all the people I wonder about from my past he is the one I would love to hear from...love to know something about. I have said this to several over the years. She had seen him in the past 5 years and told me what she knew about him. Three days later he called! It felt as though I called out to him and he heard it several thousand miles away. We have been talking on the phone some since then. I'm married. He's married. My spouse is like roommate to me and a nice man. Can you enlighten me?

Dearest one, you are very lonely, but you have never shared this with the mate you have.  You have expected that he should read your mind.  God love him, but he cannot read your mind.  This being you reach out to, yes, you do have a bond with this one.  But you do not have the richness and the history of a life as you do with  your mate.  It was not always as a roommate.  Before you make any choices, take time to invest the excitement you have with the other one, into the one you have right now.  No, I am not saying it will work magic.  But you have to give him the opportunity. 

You have been so self reliant, efficient, doing and being for everyone, that you are exhausted and empty and need filling up.  Love yourself by speaking of your needs.  I know you are afraid.  You can do this.  Open up to your mate.  In time, you might even tell about the other connection. You must try everything for you are a being of such high standards and that the thought of hurting another being will cause you great pain.  I know you say that you need to be held up for a while.  Give him a chance to hold yourself up.  Give yourself more time before you make any decisions.  You are a beautiful being, trust in this. 

Changing over to our new website/blog

Our new website and blog is almost complete and so there will only be a couple more posts to this Dialogue with Spirit Guides blog before we switch over to posting just on the new site.  Please make a point of changing your favorites to http://www.circleswithincircles.com now so that you won't miss any posts.

All of the original posts from this blog have been transferred over to the new site and we have been posting responses to questions/comments from this blog on both sites for a couple of months now.

The new site has a powerful search tool that will make it very easy for you to find posts by name, title, or key word.  We are also posting to a reduced list of categories so that you can see other relevant posts on a similar topic.  Both Jane and I hope that the new website will work well for you.

Don't worry, this blog won't be deleted.  It will have a final post with a link to the new site.

Wanting to erase a relationship from her mind

Carol asks, “I would like to know if Hank considered our relationship a form of entertainment. Were there ever any feelings or motivation from him to spend time with me for meaningful reasons or was I just a joke? Just another ego boosting female admirer? I tried to be open with him - I probably tried too hard. I should be thankful for knowing him but I feel like a fool and wish I had never met him and wish I could erase any memory of him from my mind.

Dearest one, you would not change loving.  You are perfect in your journey to love and to find joy.  Yes, you dream and have expectations. This being has great difficulties, you know this.  He has inabilities to move forward and chooses to stay in a state that you could not be. 

Do not erase any part of your brilliant path.  You learned, you grew and the exchange of love helped another grow, not one you have known about.  You have often helped many that you have not known about.  Do not erase any part of you.  You are magnificent: being human, feeling pain and trusting. Loving, laughing, crying--these are exquisite abilities always, not only in this time of physical experience.  Be willing to thank yourself for allowing yourself to grow, allowing yourself to feel, and allowing yourself to move forward radiant and strong.  I know you often make fun and laugh about it. You are richer, you having lost nothing.  Bless you my child.

Waves of colour and spirit communication

KF writes, “I am wondering what the waves of purple with tinges of green and electric flashes were please. Thanks and love.”
 
If these are the visual signs that this one is seeing  (as opposed to many other signs that are trying to be made clear to this one),  it is simply a way of communicating that there is more, that they are present, that she is not alone.
Entities of light seek ways in which to reach you that you will find the familiar comforting and not fearful.  You are a being of great light, of great artistic ability.  Of course, they would choose these ways in which to say, “Heads up, I am here.”

Extraterrestrial life forms

Anonymous asks, "Are there aliens or extra terrestrial life forms on planet Earth now?

There have been visitations. Dimensions have collided.  Yes, it is true.  But they do not live and walk and cause chaos as is thought.  You must ask yourself if you fear the unknown?  Or do you welcome that that is?  This is more to the question that you ask.  Your fascination, your fear, holds you back my dear.

Fear and spirit guides

Rose asks, "Are the spirit guides who have been behaving in a tormenting and torturous way towards me for over two years now being affected by the Planets? Meaning, for example, when Mars is retrograde, or Jupiter coming into Aries in the 8th house, or any other planetary movement? Do spirit guides attack humans in order to work out Karma from a previous life? Thank you."

Blessed one, a spirit guide is a guardian, a helper, a healer, a being of light that grows through your growth, through your forward movement.  There would be no purpose for a being of light to frighten or inflict any station which would cause the being to not grow.  These things that you are referring to are created from your  own fear.  You manifest all  manner of fear with which to frighten yourself. 

Blessed one, you are a gentle and kind being.  You have great expectations of yourself to reach a certain height.  You judge yourself harshly. I want you to radiate the love and light you are, towards yourself.  There is nothing in spirit that would harm you any way.  Why do you create these actions against yourself?  Perhaps it gives you safety at this time.  But you are about to release that and allow the radiant being that you are to be the peace and love that you have always been.  You have adopted many conditions and understandings from other information, not from those guides that help you.  You seek information from many ways, but your filter is clogged with fear, dearest one. I say this not in judgment.  But that is where you felt safe for a long time.  Fear has kept you at a distance from trying new things where you felt unsure.  You know the phrase, there is nothing in spirit that can harm you.  Planets do not alight to cause chaos.  Energy moves through all things.  Be light.  Be love.

Fear of standing alone--trusting in yourself

Nancy asks for a sign from her guides that her life will be better.  She says, "I feel sad and get so disappointed with people and with myself. I get sad when I think about the loss of my marriage and the loss of being a mother. I had big dreams for my marriage and now I am alone.  I fear being alone for the rest of my life.  And I am sad to think I'll never have a child.  In the past you have told me that there were children who wanted to be with me and a new partner I could choose to be with. It is so hard for me to believe in this because I am to old to have children now.  I would like to know if this special person his still there for me and how would I know he is the one for me?  I want to grow old and be happy with that person. Is it possible?

Dearest one, you want a written contract from somebody proving that it would be safe to take a step outside of your prison. Dearest, there is no proof.  Progress lies in your willingness to trust in your own self.  It is true, you have put all of your trust in other beings that have held you limited.  There is so much knowing  within your mind and in your head, you are afraid of your own choices.  You are afraid of your own free will.  You do not know where to turn, or how to be.

So, how to begin doing this?  It is best for you to begin by trusting in yourself.  Practice each day of speaking to yourself about your own strength, your own ability to make choices for you, of having no effect on others, but yourself.  Oh my dear one, you have fought against the wind and yet the wind knows not of you.  Start at the beginning of who you are.  From the very beginning of this life you have struggled to take on your own power.  You have seen yourself through the eyes of others and tried to fulfill this. Allowing your desired to be held in the in the hands of others.  Begin by taking back your power, Nancy.  Step out. Do something for you each day, for your choice, for the good of you, for the healing of you.  It is always been at your choosing.  Nothing is lost if you are leaning.  Learn about you.  Learn about your fear to stand alone.  And allow your world to open to you.

Opening your heart to the harmony of the world

Jennifer had a question about her past lives.  She says, "I'm wondering if you could tell me how past lives might be affecting me in my current life. I feel as though I have struggled with self-love and self-acceptance for most of my life and wonder if these are residual feelings from past lives or if these feelings developed as a result of experiences in this life? I recognize self-acceptance is a major goal for me in this life and I feel like I'm having troubles breaking some of the negative coping strategies. I asked a question several months ago about my spirit guides and the channeled spirit mentioned I was in some ways fighting the regimented aspect of my being. I'm wondering if this refers to my challenges with self-acceptance and if you can provide any insight on how to work on it?

Dearest one, once again around the circle. It might seem like the same issues return and return again.  But each time you have ascended, your vibration is higher, your choice is different.  And it is true that if you really take time to step aside to see your path, you'll see you are a far more evolved being now; gentler, move loving to yourself.  You are now choosing to help yourself, not of anger, but from a belief in love. The true understanding of love is when you will look outside yourself and see how perfect it all is.  You will feel the harmony of your world.  You will feel its heartbeat singing.  Do not center so much on the inability but rather focus on the ability of love that you have.  You think so much, dearest one. I am sure the clogs of your mind grow tired.  But all is for a good purpose, I know.

So, be gentle and kind to yourself.  Know that you do and are trying. I know the limitations of time in the physical world, sometimes it's as if you have your feet in cement.  But they are not.  The heightening of one’s vibration happens with a choice, with opening your heart.  You are doing well.  You aren’t limiting yourself any more.

An adventurer in a past life

Lindsay wonders if you could tell her who she was in one of her past lives that affects who she is today.
 
All of them affect who she is today.  Dear Lindsay, you are the sum total of all of the experiences, all of the moments and the hours and seconds.  Every moment of torture and splendor.  All affect you.  Perhaps the adventurer that was willing to conquer mountains and find new places--that being is very much a part of you still.  You were tired of the old and wanting the new.  You loved change and you embraced those that offered  change  You do well, my dear Lindsay.

Struggling with decisions about work and relationships

PF asks, "Are there are any words or suggestions to help my friend BBR with his struggles with decisions about work and relationships? Do you have any suggestions to improve our relationship?
Thank you."


Dear PF, you must understand that the reason for this situation right now, is not only that your friend needs to grow, but you as well.  Your relationship is often hiding, in the guise of whatever is acceptable to talk about, leaving you feeling quite empty. You know that your friend is his own worst enemy. But you find it very difficult to find the words to express it.  Perhaps, if you use yourself as an example, by talking about your feelings it will help him or her (whichever you wish to call this being now).  This being has been very...well, a difficult one, a difficult path.  But, unfortunately, the struggle is self-imposed.  Be of light.  Be of love.

Moving forward on your path

CF writes, "For the past year or so, I felt stuck. But I now find that although I made no changes I feel quite content and optimistic. There are a lot of things going on around me and with people that are close to me that my human conditioning tells me I should worry about and yet I feel that everything is going to be abundant and wonderful. Can you explain what is happening.
Also, does my little one know how much I love him?

Yes, blessed one, you have grown. You have moved forward on your path and that trust and knowing is deep within you.  At first, when growth is at hand the vibrations can often feel uncomfortable.  But you have taken steps, although you may feel they were not so. It is often, after the fact, that it feels this way.  Regarding the people around you, it is true, you can only be responsible for yourself, your actions and your choices. Trust, that they all will do what they must do to complete and fulfill their paths.  And, as far as the little one, everyone knows that you are filled with love and light.   Be at peace little one.

Reaching peace about past decisions

Roslin seeks guidance about money she lent to a couple ten years ago.  She says, "The  loan and the investment were supposed to be for six months, but here we are 11 years later and it still has not come back to me. The people involved have kept in touch with me over the years and keep telling me that the money is coming and to keep having patience. But I am loosing faith in their integrity. And my debt has grown a lot over the years. Can you shed some light on this issue for me?  I am very stressed about it and it is causing me a lot of anxiety and anger. Is this karma I have brought onto myself? Can I trust these people who were supposed to be friends to do the right thing?  I am really confused. Do I go after them with legal means? Or do I finally let it go and forget?"

Dearest one, I want you to see yourself right now.  You do not even know yourself.  You are a being of light and love.  And you are seeking love and acceptance.  And, you gave that that you could not give, as if a part of your heart.  Separate from this.  See who you are: an amazing being.   If, in that gift, you have learned and grown then you have received what you will from them.  Is that a bitter pill, or is it great growth?  Dearest one, you are more spiritual than any you have ever given money to.  You are more enlightened than most of the beings you have give enlightenment to. 

Would you please look upon your own image and know who you are?  Cling not to past decisions.  Accept what is, accept the learning you needed and honour yourself for that.  That pain still holds you back to a time of disappointment.  But it is not about what they didn’t do, it is what you didn’t do.   Release yourself my blessed one for you have much to do.  Perhaps you need to celebrate, right now, who you are.  Celebrate how magnificent you are and how you need only to seek your own truth.  For you are more evolved than all that surround you.  Trust in this my child and be at peace.

Cues to help find the next step

Laurelee asks if she is fulfilling her promises.  She says, "I am concerned that I am not living to my fullest potential. I do not feel I have a full sense of direction in my life. I am stuck. I keep going around in circles with analyzing and sorting what is my next step. I need to know where to focus my attention and please be specific as possible."

It is interesting to me how this blessed one judges herself as not living to her full potential.  Why?  What are you that you are not being?  And therein lies a choice.  For whom are you limiting who you be?  Have you always lived under the choices of others?  Or, will you choose for yourself to be free and then choose who you wish to be with.  You seek my child, everyone but you.  You walk and in your mind you write books, poems and stories and songs.  But you feel them idle chatter instead of a reality. I am not surprised that you feel that there are two sides to you.  Which side do you step into?  That must be your work, dearest.  How to choose for yourself?  Sometimes we need a few cues. 

Let’s begin with your body.  Think of something that you might wish to do.  So, begin with listening to your body.  Sit quietly and listen to your body. Does your heart race?  Do your fingertips tingle?  Does this lower body or abdomen feel tense?  Do you notice a ringing in your ears? This is listening to your body.  It is an amazing tool to help us remember what we need to do, to help us make choices.
Take some time, don’t judge. You are doing and you are being.

Don’t say it is not to your full potential.  Often when you are in the middle of the greatest work, moving in leaps and  bounds vibrationally, you might feel that there is no one, that you are alone or not growing, or even helpless.  Yet this often comes before the greatest knowing.  I cannot say enough to love yourself.  Be still and know this.

The difference between spirit guides and other spirits

Moe writes, "I would like to know why your guides say that no spirits can hurt you?  There are so many people who get attacked by spirits (slap, kick, scratch even things been thrown at them). Thanks. 

Yes, it is simply a difference in words, dearest.   A spirit guide, an entity of light, one that has moved to the light or dwells amongst a distant domain, would never hurt you or harm you in any way.  You are talking about something different--a person whose spirit has left the body but still remains in the physical world.  A spirit like this does still have the ability to cause great chaos in that physical world.  Mostly, they only cause fear as there really isn’t anything they can do to harm you.   They can make a lot of noise to gain attention, but they need only love and help to find their way.  They often do not know that they are still  within the physical world.  So, they need to get attention and often seek it in most unattractive ways.  But these ones that cause chaos are are few and far between (just as when they are alive).  Be patient with them.  They have just lost track of what they are doing. If you have such beings in your path, then be still and find a way to communicate with them.  Talk out loud for they cannot read your mind or know your spirit vibration as a guide.

Joanna's note:  The guide here is talking about what we might call ghosts. You can ask them to leave you alone and suggest that they go to the light.

Love, pain and growth

Aurora writes, " I am truly thankful for experiencing the many ways and shapes of love, but within the appreciation and enjoyment of it all my heart has some sadness. What is your advice for a sad heart, a lonely heart, a broken heart? Why do our chests hurt so much when someone we love does not reciprocate love or hurts or disappoints us? Thank you."

Yes, it is true the same growth that causes the pain--it also causes forward movement.  At the same time your heart may feel bursting with joy, it can feel the sharpness of pain--but it is still growth.   Awareness, knowing--it translates in the body as pain.  But it is forward movement, so do not see it as negative. 

The wonder of you is that you can feel that great love, or lack of.  It is truly the love you are feeling.  What do for this?  Honour this, rejoice in it.  Know that you are such a magnificent being that you love wholly and completely and you feel it inside out and upside down.  But in truth, this is how the body magnifies the growth.  It is positive even though the pain may feel negative.  Often, where there has been an unwillingness to love, and when the step is finally taken, and not fulfilled completely by another, there is a sense of emptiness, a love unfulfilled.  This too is growth even though it might not feel like it.  Dear Aurora, do not try to mask the pain as is so often done in your world.  Be in it, feel it, as this is the best way to soothe it.  Gentle one, give yourself love.

opening the door to a knight in shining armour

Meaghan says, "I feel I am completely ready for my Knight in Shining Armour. Not so much a rescue mission but a mutual rescue (if you know what I mean).  Am I right, and is there anything I can do to open this door?

Dearest, dearest Meaghan, you have such an analytical mind.  You want to cross all t’s and dot all i’s and make sure all is done perfectly.  You need to relax.  You need to know that perhaps you want him in a car, instead of a horse.  Is that what you are asking, my dear? Blessed one, you are going to have your knight.  He will be much more modern and very beautiful which might frighten you, at first.  But, in the meantime, be sure to just open your heart to all of the joys that surround you.  For there are many that want your attention, to just bask in your light.  You’ve noticed this from time to time.  You seem to give forth your wisdom without even understanding what it is about.  You are doing well, my dear. You will have your partner, do not worry.

It's about making choices for yourself

Sandy asks about her future with a man.  She writes, "I have been involved with a man, R, who is now facing some big questions in his life. Will we end up together, or is he meant to follow another path?

Dearest one, sometimes you wonder if you have hitched your wagon to the wrong horse. Have you put trust and faith in someone that didn’t deserve such trust and faith?  Have you made dreams on no foundation?  All of these questions you ask yourself.  It is not about his choices and his next steps. It is about yours, dearest.  And you are not breathing. You have put your life on hold.  You have been waiting and waiting and now you want an exit.  You have every right.

You are tired of waiting.  Are you tired enough to use the words to put the actual words out there?  Are you tired enough to hear what is truly being said and shown by his actions?  Do you love yourself enough to make choices to live your path, the path that you so deserve?  You deserve all of the light and love that is there for you.  Do I answer your question with questions?  Yes, my dear for you are in a time of great growth.  You are anxious.  You are almost frightened, but don’t be.  Take deep breaths.  Be still and make the right choice for you. For you.

Mountains and plateaus in life

Zarah writes, " I would like to know if I am coming to a plateau in my mountain and if not how can I make this happen? Or should I prepare for more vertical terrain? I am ready to learn without such a steep climb. Thank you and much love."

 
Dearest one, the life path of an evolved being is often all uphill.  I don’t want to disappoint you, but it is often the case.  Naturally, if you turn around and look down that mountain, you will see that it actually was quite a beautiful path. Many that you touched, honour you.  Know that many, many look at you as a leader on a path to the light.  Plateaus--there have been many actually.  But, perhaps they just were not big enough for you.  Dearest one, your life path is about growing, opportunities to grow, to live, to move forward. You know yourself.   You know very well, all is good.  Even though there is good and bad, all is good. Love yourself my child.  Take more time to dance on the plateau.  Perhaps if you pay more attention to that time, you will get to stay there longer.  You are loved.

Fear and growth

Rachel asks if she is doing any better.  She ways, "I know I slipped off the track a bit but feel like I am back on it and not so afraid anymore. Is my fear mostly gone or do I have further to go? Many thanks."

How do I answer when you know yourself, in a way, that the fear was familiar and it kept you from moving forward.  And when one sees, truly, into the darkest part of the fear, one knows that it has a purpose.  No, you do not need to run from saber tooth tigers anymore.  But it stirs up old and ancient things in the human condition that are still needed even today. The obsessive-compulsive nature of your being, if I may use those words (no, you are not limited by it and it does not own you).  But there are parts of you that like to do these things because they still help you. Still, for that was familiar and you have released it, or accepted it--it be the same thing. And you have also accepted the unique amazing being that you are.  Know that you can help so many others by speaking, by teaching and by reaching out with an open hand. You are a great healer, my dear.  Trust in this, for yourself as well.

A spirit presence in the bathroom

Andrea Reed asks about what she believed was an entity in her bathroom.  She writes, "I would find inspiration daily when showering or brushing my teeth and always thought it was due to doing a mundane task, that allowed my mind to open to new ideas. Then one night I felt a presence there and suggested that if it was an earthbound spirit that it should go to the light. I believe it was and that it left. However I suddenly now realize that since that event, I no longer receive this inspiration in this room. I do believe that I can connect to my guides, but this feels a bit different. Plus I had also 'seen' images in that room late at night but never connected the two. I appreciate any insight you can provide me on this. Thank you so very much!! I enjoy reading all the posts."

No, dearest you have not told your guides to go away.  And even if you did tell your guides to go to the light, they dwell there. The being that was visiting you, actually, was an old relative who comes from time to time.  Your oneness with the entities that surround you is a constant.  They are always there.  But at times you find yourself somewhat distracted. Perhaps it would be good to give yourself a little more choice about them. Bless you my child. Be patient.

Relevance of starseeds and other phenomena

Tyler asks, "Can you give any insight into the relevance of the 11:11 phenomena and it's relationship to starseeds, thank you."

You will seek truth in many ways and it can be given in many ways. You, my child, will take the unbeaten path and seek out like many that have come before you. Talk about the light, the energies and the vibrations. There are many truths known only to you. You have skipped from physical dimensions back and forth and that is why you seek all knowledge of the physical barrier and the mystery and magic within. Yes, there is relevance to all of these things. But, don’t just seek the old path; seek new ones. Trust in your own wisdom. Many that have taught these ways of the enlightened one are in truth are to heal their own paths and their own need for answers. Seek your own answers, my child, and you shall find them.

To stay with him or to move on?

Becky asks if the man she is involved with is the best choice to be in a commited relationship with. She writes, "Is this relationship in my highest good? I know that everyone has imperfections and that there is growth to be had and things need to be worked on but ultimately is my longterm future with this man?  Or is there another man waiting? Thank you

Dearest one, you are answering your own question.  For you know in your heart you are not feeling balanced.  There is a great amount that you do not communicate with this one. Not to say that this did not have a purpose and that you have grown.  When two beings do not grow together, when one grows faster then the other, it can be a time of waiting for the other, for their growth to take place.  But if it does not take place, survival of the being must be most important. You must understand that you have grown and you must be who you are. Trust that what is at hand might be a need for to move forward.  Trust. Do not be afraid. I know you're saying “throw the baby with the bath water”...but you are not throwing anything away, my dear. You have been struggling to keep something.  Dearest one, love yourself, release yourself.  Dance in the light.

Moving to the new website soon

To all of you who follow this blog, please take a look at our new website:  www.circleswithincircles.com
This new site incorporates the Dialogue with Spirit Guides blog and our old Circles within Circles website.  Take a look around and let us know what you think.  The new website has a powerful search function that will allow you to find questions and answers easily.

All the archives posts from here have been transferred to the new website and we're now posting responses on both blogs.  At this point you can post a question here or on the new blog.  Once we've refined the new blog to our satisfaction, we'll be deleting this blog and transferring all activity to the new site.

The sense of heightened vibration

Sandra writes, "Dearest spirit guides, in human form and in spirit form, thank you! I found it hard to read your response as it is true. It is hard for me to let my light shine. I have hidden. I journeyed into the depths of my darkest cave and I experienced the luminosity of my being and I can no longer hide.  I don't understand what that is yet, what it looks like, but I trust the process. With sincere, heartfelt gratitude.

Questions: In the past week or so I have been feeling a great energy touching and "buzzing" my heart center. The last time I felt this was a few years ago and I knew who it was - there was a strong heart connection. But this time, who is it? What is it? What is the energy for?"

When a being grows, or makes choices, their vibration is heightened.  When you choose the most positive route or the most positive action for your being, your entire vibration heightens. When this happens, there is often a feeling in the physical body of the heart bursting with sheer joy, a knowing. This is what you experienced, blessed one. A true wonder with all manner of being. In time, you will be able to discern who is near, and far, and communicating, or not communicating. But right now just honour your growth by loving your being exactly as you are doing. You are doing beautifully. And yes, your vibration is higher. You often even feel that you don’t touch the ground.

Romance and youthful love

Sarah recently met someone and fell instantly in love.  She says, “I felt a deep connection with this person but issues of distance meant we couldn’t be together. I’m finding it impossible to move on. I can't think about anything much else. Is there a genuine connection between this person and me and what does it all mean? I'm only just 21 and have never felt this for someone before in quite the same way.

Dearest one. You are a true romantic and you want all of it.  That being, yes, that being has awoken a part of you, but wasn’t meant to be for a long-time knowing.  (Not to say that there wouldn’t be a chance again.)  The important thing is for you to understand your growth right now. You are a joyful light.  For you there are three people that you can meet that you could love and be with for a very long time.  And a time will come when you will be very confused about choosing.  But I want you to understand your wonder. To see what light you bring to others when you allow them to see you. You often are quite shy.  Show your light my dearest.  Draw in the love you want and deserve.  For you will have that wonderful romantic, youthful love.   Trust. Time is not a burden, but a great joy for you right now.

Dreams of a mother who has passed on

Lisa lost her mother six years ago to breast cancer when she was expecting her first child. She says, “I lost my Mother 6 years ago to Breast Cancer and was expecting my first child at the time, My Mother passed on May 5, 2004 and my daughter was born on May 10, 2004. I was very close with my mother and lately I have been having dreams. In my dreams my mother is alive and I am overcome with joy but then she tells me in the dreams that she still has Cancer but is alive. The days following these dreams are very melancholy for me. I do miss her more than I can bear at times especially with her never meeting her granddaughter. But why do I have these dreams? Can you help explain this ? Thank you.

Dearest one, much of what you are experiencing is the shock and difficulty of that time because you were so in the process of giving that your physical being could not tolerate all the terrible tragedy you felt. So you put it on hold. And, of course, as every anniversary comes around, every cell of your being’s memory brings it forward to feel it, to heal it. It was horrific for you. Truly your words are truth--more than you can bear. For you put it to one side for a while and now your being truly feels it can bear it and wants your mother close.

Your mother is close, my dear. She has seen her grandchildren. Knows her well. They communicate; do not worry about that. Speak to your mother whenever you need to. Whether it be in happiness, sadness or gratitude. The bond you have with your mother is not gone. In fact, it is more intensified, as the love is purer now than ever. It is not complicated by the physical barrier.

She is near, but doing what she must do. And you must do what you must do. Grow, teach, be all the things that she helped you to be. You must now be these for your child. And this way, your child will know her more and more. There is no end, my dearest. It is a circle within a circle. All things are known. Your child will help you to learn this. Trust.

Thank you. When someone reads the answer on the blog, do they also connect with your energy at the time?

Yes.

Meeting people in our dreams

RMW asks about dreams.  She says, “I am very much confused about dreams. When we sleep do we leave the physical body and travel? Are the other people in our dreams created by us or do we actually meet people sometimes? Do we see other lives and dimensions or is it just created for our growth?

I have been studying my dreams for a long time and trying to interpret them but they continue to puzzle me. I have read so many different opinions from people here and they are all so different.  I was hoping you might be able to explain it a little. I am forever grateful for your help and wisdom.”  

Dreams, yes. Well, you are referring to many different things.   Some of which are dreams, the creation of the mind to deal with many thing that have occurred in the day to put it all in place, to put it in an understanding of the mind. Dreams can also allow you to meet someone that has passed on to the dimensions, this usually occurs and it is truth.  This usually takes place at the very beginning of sleep, the twilight time, or just before you awake. In these two stages one is a receiver, very open. And thus you can meet and greet and have great resolution to many things with beings that have been in your life.  In part of the deep sleep that is actually part of your creation, the dream.  The putting together of all of the pieces, each being you manifest in a dream is part of you.  They may have the face and body of someone in your life, but it is the creation of you and how you feel about them and how you feel about yourself in your dream.  I hope that helps somewhat.

Who are the spirit guides

Kirk asks for more information about who these spirit guides are. He says, " I have never really seen you mention 'who' is talking and I wonder if questions are answered by different guides by the way they are kind of answered differently."

This is the truth, my dear. We are separate entities, as you are. We are individuals with our own processes, our own evolution, our own growth. We have come to the time when we no longer fit vibrationally in the physical world, but our domain still evolves and grows. Each being [person] has many [guides] at a time, but always has one. And these [guides] are unique but often share many of the traits with the loved ones they help. There are also those [guides]called universal, or simply the most evolved beings. These are ones that are not contained at any one time but have great diversity. You will find the wisdom they share gives you a greater perspective. Some of the very personal entities [guides] that are with you may seem almost like your best friend. Fear not, for a guide will always speak positive and will always be in the position to help you, to assist you in furthering your growth. If you think the words are negative they should not be used to cause an action of growth, for they [your guides] will never be against you. They will always be for you.

Joanna's comment:

Hi Kirk, this is a great question.  The guide's answer above addresses some of what you ask and also talks about people's individual guides.  The answer here may be a little confusing because the guide uses the term "beings" for both people and guides.  I've put some clarification in square brackets above where I felt it might help.

When Jane channels there are usually a couple of different energies that speak through her.  I would say there are about four or five different guides that have come through at different times to respond to questions.  Some of them seem to be more lofty and evolved and others may be more connected to our day to day life. Although the answers have different approaches it's my belief that all of the guides offer truth and help for the person who asks the question, as well as for others who read the interaction.

But we always tell people that they must allow the answer to sit with them and take from it what feels right for them personally.  There is a lot of wisdom in what comes through but it's only helpful when you're individually ready to hear it.  If it doesn't resonate, just let it go.  Hope this helps.

Promises and meditation

Robbie asks if he has any promises or agreements to keep? He says "I have great interest in meditation and i would like to take it further, maybe go out on my own and go into deep meditation and work at achieving desirelessness. I can see that when you are alone it can be hard but it can also be joyful and there is great growth but would i not be avoiding relationships and taking the easy route? I have to calm the mind, it wont leave me alone! I appreciate all your help.

Dearest one, if I told you what your promises are, it would take from your growth and that would be a very, well, unusual thing for me to do.  And then you would not fully grow and succeed in that that you need to do.  I would never do this.  But of course you have promises.  You say take the “easiest route” but dearest, yours is not the easiest route. You often look upon others as having the perfect life.  You think of yours as alright, but as missing something.  Each being that you meet on your path is important.  But when you meet the one that you have a definite promise with it will be as if you go into automatic pilot.  And you will find yourself deeply entrenched in it without much thought.

Dearest, you will find that very wonderful being.  Do not worry if some seem will seem not so important. Cherish this time as important for all who are growing--not just for you but for them. You are an evolved being, seeking, willing, wanting.  There is a time coming when you will laugh that you thought you didn’t know about what your promises were.  For in fact, there is a part of you that has always known what your promises are.  You will be drawn to work with people.  No, I am not telling you what they are.  Trust.  In fact my dear, you have quite a few.  

Is meditation good for this person?

Yes.  Meditation is good for all beings.  But do not feel that it must be in only one form or another.  But beautiful walks in a lovely place can be a meditation.  A moment alone standing under a waterfall or a shower, or a lovely tub of water can be a meditation.  A moment to daydream, a meditation, positive words for someone else, a physical meditation.  Every act can be thus.  But what you are referring to is time taken away from the physical world to set in process prayer or positive thoughts.  All is good.

Help with mood swings and headaches and tremors

Gina asks about her mood swings and pain. She says, "What can I do to correct the problems that cause my mood swings, headaches, and head tremor? What is the cause of each? I see doctors but the problem has not been resolved. I cry from the pain I experience. I seek. I ask. I expect as taught. Please help me. Thank you."

The being had severe poisoning. There is an imbalance, a toxic condition. Do not fear, dear one, this can be righted with a pure diet, healing, and rest. Trust in your inner self. You know this, my dear. You know your inner strength. You have been a powerhouse in the past and it shall return. You have been looking to outside places for your help instead of inside. Take the time for some quiet reflection, meditation, talks with your body. Imbalances such as this are a condition when one is overburdened by the many toxins in your physical world. But mostly for you this occurred from a situation that happened when you were approximately thirteen years of age.

No. Do not be afraid. This can be balanced. Seek the information that feels right to you. Nothing bizarre or ridiculous things.  Find a truth that you can follow and heal by. The pain in your body is telling you that it needs attention, so take time and listen.  You are the best one to know what is happening in your body. So, listen to it. Give it its voice. This is difficult as you have been so involved in the pain, but it is not impossible.

Remember, you are the teacher of your own path and you are the one in control, my dear. You are overwhelmed at this time. Be still. There is not only one thing to address; there are many things. Vitamin C helps to detoxify. Look at many of the natural things to help with this.

You are not alone my dearest. There is a way. You will find it. You know very well that this is part of your growing.  A part of you never truly understood the wonder of your body. It is not the whole of this, but part of this is occurring now. Be patient.  Love yourself.  Give yourself some attention and honour. You are not alone.

Grief over the loss of her husband

Debbie is hoping for some answers after her husband passed away suddenly last month. She says, "He did have a bad heart and kept telling me for the last few years that I would be better off as he wasn't able to do alot of work around our home. I miss him very much every day and I don't feel him here. I need to know if he's ok. That's the most important question I have right now. I feel so lonely without him and I have all the emotions that go with greiving, but mostly guilt. Thank you."

Dearest one, you are still in deep shock and grief and numbness.  That is why you do not feel him close.  He is still close. You are not ready yet to sense this, but in time you will.  Oh, guilt, what a waste of energy that is! He feels only love and thankfulness o you.   

It had to be that way. You were not to have a choice my dear.  It was not up to you.  You have balanced something that came from many, many lifetimes ago.  And a deep part of you knew of that and that is why you are feeling somewhat guilty that you could have stopped that.  The balance is complete.  The work is done.  You have fulfilled great growth for him and for yourself.   Give yourself time and love.  Slowly, you will love again.  Slowly, you will love again. You will love again.  There is no time limit.   

Realize this is not a time of making choices or judgments. This void you feel you are in, it is because you are half spirit and half physical right now.   Clap your hands, listen to music and sing a song.  Remember, you are in the physical world and you are not complete yet.  There are promises yet to fulfill.  There is much love for you my child, much love. 

Do we choose when we are born

RMW writes, "I was wondering about astrology and what we can learn from it.  Do we choose our birthchart and our date of birth, for example? Why would a person choose to be born a Leo or Scorpio or born with venus in Pisces or venus in Aries? 

I have always been into astrology and I can certainly see some evidence in my life. If you have any words on this subject, it would be very much appreciated."

Many things in the physical domain are controlled by it. That is why you are present within it. It creates an element of growth. It creates opportunities to be presented to you. In a way, I suppose you could say you choose when you will be born, but not the exact time. Those conditions are all due to the physical elements at hand. You do not choose the sex that you are going to be. And you cannot choose usually when the birth will take place. but you do choose the parents. When that great conception occurs, other then the spiritual one that happens much before the physical, well, that puts in play all of the other things to occur because of it.

So yes, the time in which you physically connect and are alive in a physical world is truly conception in the physical. But the birth also, because then the elements and you are one. Of course, it has an effect. And all beings must seek to find their truth, their way to try to understand their universe. Many things you will put in play because this is what you believe. Many things are truth about these studies, as ancient as they might be. No one thing rules your path though, except you. Remember that. Nothing controls you except you and your choices.

Tears enough to fill a swimming pool

 

Robbie asks about jealousy and envy. He says, "I used to be very jealous when I was younger but I grown a little and and I know that if you love someone you grant them freedom to do whatever they want.  I am absolutely ok with that, but why are there certain people who can really trigger these deep feelings in me?  It eats away at me sometimes. It's over the smallest things that don't seem to have any meaning! And I dont even have a partner. There is this one person who I love dearly and even an image of her or words she once said can bring up enough pain to leave me stuck for days! How do we know each other? And are we helping each other to grow in this experience? Is there any other way for me to release and clear this pain or energy? Or is crying the best remedy? I could fill an olympic swimming pool with tears.  It is so great that you can offer your guidance. Thank you."

Dearest one, if you were given a choice of never having experienced that loss, would you have chosen it?  You need to see it from the other side.  You have grown and you are an amazing being an you have not closed your heart to another love.  In fact, many are attracted to you but you do not see it at this time.  You’ve never had difficulty attracting another being.  But right now, you want them not.  You are finding somewhat pleasure in that that was.  And you are feeling a bit that there is too much work involved with loving.  Oh, my blessed one, you would choose to do it again.  For you are a being of great light.  It might be difficult to understand that you chose this, even the painful part.  It was something of a balance.  Does it hold you back from the growth you have yet to do?  No.  It enriched you and in time you will see that.  Unfortunately, right now you are busy swimming in that pool.  But you will bounce out one day and there will be a being with a warm, fluffy towel there to love you.  Be at peace my dear.  You do well.
