Spirit Junkie

Spirit Junkie was the first book I read when spirit guided me to the astounding coaching work of Gabrielle Bernstein.  You can read more about my blessed journey to my intuitive coaching work with angels by reading my blog most My Journey To Angels. Gabby became a mentor of mine and her book “Spirit Junkie” quite literally transformed me.

  Spirit Junkie When I read the book, I could relate so much to her story.  Although the details of our lives were very different, we had both overcome adversity in our lives to be guided toward inquisitive coaching work,  Gabby’s teachings are inspired by a metaphysical  spiritual text called A course In Miracles.  Spirit Junkie is her personal autobiography detailing her journey as both a teacher and a student of the course.

One of Gabby’s many gifts lies in her ability to take the often heady text of A Course In Miracles and demystify it’s core concepts making them more accessible to a younger generation (The very reason I was guided to her work and resonated so deeply with how she communicated course principles). Spirit Junkie was my first exposure to A Course In Miracles and it was enough for me to know from a profound place inside  that the course was an integral part of my path. fear

I too consider myself both a student and a teacher of A course In Miracles. Let me delve briefly in to some fundamental A Course In Miracles concepts At the core of the course is the key concept of the split mind. We all have an ego. The part of our mind that is the fear voice. The part of our minds that believes we are separate from spirit, God, source, spirit whatever you want to call the energy of spiritual truth. When we are tuning into the ego (the voice of fear) it is often unconscious because no one would willingly choose fear if they knew there was a better way. That fear voice unknowingly causes us to turn away from the voice of truth which is love, self love, spirit, forgiveness and faith. The ego’s tiny mad idea , and we as Gabby calls it causes our ego mind to create false projections of our reality, and we carry those projections with us and replay them over and over again in our belief systems about ourselves,, our relationships with other people, and even our perceptions of past events and situations. It isn’t that the voice of spirit aka love isn’t always within us, it’s that the voice of fear (ego) blocks the truth that love is already there.

Through the process of forgiveness we bring the voice of fear into the light and remove blocks to the awareness of loves presence. Sounds pretty deep right? It is. But it’s actually much simpler  than it sounds. It’s the ego part of our mind that makes things complicated. Because once we shed light on fear it has no power over us any longer and love illumines every area of our life. I can’t even begin to describe how much this book has been trans formative in my life and helped me release crazy crap that was holding me hostage.  I would recommend it to anyone.  Even if you disagree with some of the material, you are bound to glean insight from it.

My Journey To Angels

As a child, I knew I was intuitive, but I chose to turn away from it.  I wanted to fit in, and I was desperate for approval.  I wanted to be liked and  to belong.  I always had a deep sense of spirituality.  Without question, I have always believed in God, source, energy love and angels, but I found that talking about any of these subjects at any depth was intimidating for people and I felt I was labeled as “odd.”  I already had enough that made me different (or so I perceived), I chose the path of fear.  It’s Ironic really, I wanted to experience love so much that I was willing to go anywhere outside myself to get it.  The funny thing is – love must exist within first.  Nothing “out there” ie: other people, status, recognition. promotion, relationships or other things outside can “fill up” what we feel may be lacking in our lives.

 Angels This brings me to my connection with angels.  I’ve already mentioned that I chose to turn away from my intuitive abilities.  After several years of looking outside myself in virtually every area of my life – I was deeply lost, depressed and disconnected from spirit.  I had reached an all time low in terms of how I felt about myself.  My higher self knew that my destiny was to be of service to comfort and uplift, teach , speak, and consult but I was so desolate I couldn’t con-sieve of how I would find my calling.  All I knew at the time was that I was determined to heal the parts of mt life that had brought me to such a breaking point.  I had been “diagnosed” with a form of anxiety disorder,  and at the time felt that everything I knew to be true in my life was crumbling around me.  I knew in that moment that this current reality I was living was not my truth. I remember sitting on my couch filled with so much emotional pain that my body ached.   I didn’t know it then, but my extreme sensitivity to energies had caused my to carry other people’s pain and suffering as well as my own.  With tears blurring my vision I began to ask heaven for help.  My intuition was screaming at me that there had to be a better way than this.  My higher self was right – there was.  Today, every value I once held has shifted.  I now know the value that coping with extreme anxiety has taught me, and that I can shift my own perception of anything with the help of the angels, spirit, and the inner voice of love we all share. Spirit intervened for me and I was guided to take to the internet.  I was guided literally to Gabrielle Bernstein’s website and she has become one of my greatest spiritual teachers and mentors.   Just a side note about being guided – I had absolutely no idea where the guidance was taking me.  I just knew it felt 100% right for me.  That’s the way guidance works for all of us.  We all have an inner voice that speaks truth, and we have an intuitive knowing when we follow the path that is meant for us.  When I was lead to Gabby’s work, I knew I was home.  I began a daily meditation practice even though I had never really meditated before.I changed my diet, began taking yoga  I knew the key to my health and happiness was change.  With meditation. and exposure to the uplifting spiritual teachings of Gabrielle Bernstein, Abraham Hicks, Marianne Williamson and Louis Hay I have been set on a life long process of creating  genuine inner peace and happiness in my life. After two months of learning to listen to the voice of my guidance, studying the incredible work of Gabrielle Bernstein and A Course In Miracles; and continuing with my meditation process, one day I was listening to Gabrielle’s weekly radio show Spirit Junkie on Hay House Radio featuring an angel communicator. I instantly resonated with the gentleman being interviewed on the show, and my intuition was once again loudly speaking to me to continue investigating the connection I have felt with angels since childhood.  Anytime I was investigating anything involving angels and spiritual teaching,  I felt alive and incredibly calm and peaceful.  The more I learned, the more I felt that my life purpose.  I booked a session for myself with that same angel communicator from the radio show. During the session, I received confirmation of my natural intuitive ability, my connection to angels and that my life purpose involved spiritual counseling and using my gifts to support, uplift. motivate and serve others.  I was vigilant in my meditation practice and spiritual learning.  I asked the angels to continue guiding me along my path.

I asked for miracles, and the more I asked, the more they materialized.  With the help of the angels I was blessed to receive certified Holistic Angel Coach™ training with Monick Halm & Nina Jasmine from Life Alchemy School.  My life as a result of this training and other influences Spirit and the angels have infused as blessings have completely transformed me from the inside out.  I am now using my intuitive gifts and natural talents as a leader speaker and teacher, and equally a student to help others progress in their lives.  This is my life purpose, my calling, and a genuine blessing I will always be thankful for.

Unconditional Love From Pets

If you are an animal person who has always had a special spiritual connection with animals, then you probably know the innocent and unconditional love experienced by having a pet.  Animals have souls like people do.  Just like every other relationship in our life, pets are divinely assigned gifts from God to help us progress spiritually and experience unconditional love.

Animals pick up on our energies, and their purpose is to love unconditionally, and to absorb negative energies.

They offer us comfort and companionship that is pure. The bond of love that exists between pets and their owners is eternal and exists beyond time and space.  This is why from a spiritual perspective, when the body leaves this plane of the physical world and the soul enters non-physical, our pets loving energy remains connected to us while we remain in our physical bodies, and even beyond that when we enter non-physical.  Animals teach us about our capacity to love and offer unconditional comfort and protection.  The only thing they want in return is love. Have you ever spent time observing your pet?  A wonderful thing about animals which provides a great lesson for humans is that their  focus is always on the present moment.  They only know the here and now. With the exception of situations of serious  animal abuse, animals have no use for thoughts of the past, nor do they dwell in worry of future events.  Animals are perfect embodiments of what it means to just “be” in the moment.  They live in a constant state of presence.

Emily

I often refer to my little 3lb Yorkshire Terrier as an angel in my life.  I truly believe she is.  Even before I got her I knew I wanted a very small Yorkie.  It took about a year to manifest this desire everything from her name to the material means for her care was brought to me out of desire, to have her, the strength of my faith I would have a dog, my unwavering focus on what I wanted, and the strength of my belief that I was worthy of achieving my desire.  Ever since, my little Emily has been a constant source of joy, love and comfort.   She is a blessing I will always be thankful for
