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.
