In the Mirror of Others!

June 26, 2016 by @candesscampbell

I was having a discussion with a friend tonight about my beliefs and Christianity. It was great to share with each other about how she experiences Jesus and my relationship with Jesus. She was curious about my beliefs and I asked if she had read my blog about my trip to India and she hadn’t. I didn’t realize I had first published it in 2011, so I am re-posting to share with her and you!

I realized that the first few days of my trip to India were to be about learning to listen to my intuition. One of the experiences where I didn’t listen to this gentle inner voice was at the train station in Mumbai.

On the platform a young crippled man came up to me. He was scooting himself across the dirty cement of the station with his hands. His feet were twisted, and he appeared to be sitting with his legs curled up to his body. I reached into my purse to give him some coins. My intuition said to give him 500 rupees, but I thought my travel mates would say no so I didn’t. When I gave him a few rupees from my purse, his eyes and mine met, and there was an incredible light in his eyes. I felt like I had touched a power source with jolts of electricity running through me. A few minutes later he crossed my path again, and when our eyes met, we smiled, connected and waved. The feeling was so intense, that even days later, as I write this, my eyes are tearing. When I went to our train compartment I shared my experience with my Indian friend. He said, “This is the first of many you will meet. That is why you were so touched.” I explained to him that I agreed I would meet many, but that this one was different. My intuitive self knew he was an enlightened being. My friend asked, “Then why would this man have that kind of body?”

I entered trance and began to share the information I received. I understood that we are not our body. This physically crippled man had transcended his body. The reason he took on this body is that he came to the earth this incarnation to be a Light and to mirror to others. Everyone who looks at him will see him differently. Some may experience anger, sadness, judgment or joy. What I saw was an enlightened being! He was mirroring to us what we needed to see in ourselves at that time. I needed to see an enlightened being in a form that I did not expect. Another time I may experience him differently.

If this experience was all that happened to me spiritually on this trip to India, it would have been enough. This incredible being gave me a healing I will remember forever.

As the trip continued, I realized an important recurring theme was: We are all connected, and we gift each other. In this case, I gave him rupees, and I saw who he actually was. He gave me an incredible spiritual activation and awareness of myself, an understanding of what my life is about at this moment.

We can look at others in our lives and experience the healing of being mirrored by them. This is the sacredness of relationship. Whatever it is you are seeing in your life, take time to see it symbolically.

Recently, I was sitting on my patio reading a novel. Suddenly, I saw a spider on my knee, right there as if it was looking at me. I am not extremely frightened of spiders, but I jumped up: “Aahhh!!!” and knocked it off my leg. Then I asked myself, “What message did this little creature have for me?” In answer, I quickly saw a spider web holding all the projects I have in play right now. I saw myself spinning my own web. Then I saw the spider in the corner of the web resting. I realized I need to sit in the corner of my web at times and rest. Later, when I was sharing this story with a friend of mine who teaches dream interpretation and who I knew would understand the symbolism, I also realized my reaction to all my projects, was: “Aahhh!!!” I laughed at myself. I loved the mirroring gift from this spider.

Whether you are traveling the trains in India, sitting on your patio in your back yard or sharing with a friend, the gift of seeing yourself in the mirror of others is available to you daily. What a gift to expand the awareness of the magnificent being that you are! What a gift to shine your light as you remove the veils and stand in your Light!

Since I wrote this, I read the book The Yoga of Max’s Discontent by Karan Bajaj. If you enjoyed this story and have not read his book, I highly recommend it. His teaching about yogis transcended anything I understood before and expanded my mind and I will be forever grateful.

“A sickly body does not indicate that a guru is not in touch with divine powers, any more than lifelong health necessarily indicates an inner illumination.”

Careful Whose Energy you Match!

May 20, 2016 by @candesscampbell

When I was taking Meditation classes at the Church of the Divine Man many years ago, they taught about “matching” other people’s energy. For instance, if you are around someone who is angry, you may match him and become angry. When you are matching someone who is peaceful, you feel peaceful. It’s important to be aware of others you spend time with and discern whether or not the feelings you have are yours or theirs.

A study I read (cannot find source) involved the growth of three plants. One plant was the control and the plant was watered without any variables. The second plant was watered with water where someone who was very happy and positive held the water for a period of time and the third plant was watered with water that was held for a period of time by someone who was clinically depressed. Of course, the result was the plant watered by the person who was happy grew the most; the control the second and the plant watered by the person who was depressed had stunted growth.

Physics has taught us that everything is energy and it makes sense that we affect each other in subtle and powerful ways. When I feel blue, a little grumpy, I listen to Abraham-Hicks on YouTube to shift my energy and raise my mood. Conversely, when I binge on sad music that I listened to as a young person such as Johnny Cash singing Sunday Morning Coming Down, I have to pick myself up off the floor!

My focus in my work for years has been to empower others to access their intuition and live at their highest vibration.

Today take some time to think about who energizes you.

Who helps you become your better Self? Who leads the way and makes it easier for you to excel and manifest your dreams. Think about who it is that drains your energy and leaves you feeling bad about yourself. Sometimes we can’t change who we are around, but we can use those who are motivating and inspiring to bring us back into balance.

Guest Blog – DNA Activation

April 7, 2016 by @candesscampbell

Working with the Lords of Karma has been a ministry for me for many years now. This beautiful email from Dana is a blessing and a testament to why I do this service. Thanks to all who resonate with the Lords of Karma and shifting with the planet into a Higher Vibration.

DNA Activation
March 24th 2011
I wanted to write you an email to tell you about my progress after my DNA Activation session with you and the Lords of Karma. I have had a steady increase in vibrational frequency from the base physical all the way through to the spiritual. I know this because several areas of my life have changed dramatically. Beginning with meditation, not only has my meditation deepened (distractions are not nearly as dominant as they used to be) but I have noticed a significant increase in intuition and awareness of the higher dimensions (Spirit Realms). I have had physical confirmation of this in the form of heat, tingling, and vibrations in my pineal gland and all over body, physically feeling my Third Eye open, as well as the feeling of joy and love that is indescribable. I understand this to be contact with my Spirit Guides and my Higher Self and most importantly, God. The Lord is in all of us and I have always known this but I have never had such an overwhelming physical/Spiritual sensation to it before. This has brought about a deeper understanding of “Connectedness” for me. “Separation” truly is one of the greatest lies to humankind.

Physically I have noticed a change in my diet. I have always drunk a lot of water. I’m not much of a soda person or other such drinks. But now, I am almost unable to drink a soda at all. I am able to drink a few sips and then I have to throw it out. I just can’t manage to drink any more of it. A glass of water is constantly at my side. Equally I have noticed a desire for Natural Tea instead of Coffee. I have also noticed a huge decrease in cravings for meat and processed foods coupled with a huge increase in cravings for fresh vegetables. I have never been one to eat healthy before and every time I’ve tried, I’ve failed miserably. This will be the first times in my life that I actually choose to eat the salad versus the frozen burrito!

On a regular basis I desire to go outside in my back yard to be in the fresh air rather than stay indoors. This probably doesn’t sound very significant however; I have been a computer geek for over 20 years (professionally and otherwise). I have never before desired to be away from my computer for more than the time it takes to use the restroom or grab a sandwich. Now I’m sitting here and wondering how long it’s going to take me to type this up so I can go sit on my back porch and drink my cup of Tea that’s sitting here getting colder by the minute. (I can’t wait for summer!!) The local parks are going to see me for the first time come the first sunny day over 55 degrees F.

Probably one of the most important changes for me has been the inability to tolerate “untruth” in any fashion. I don’t want to use the word “Lies” because that’s not truly what I mean. An example, while talking to my mother on the phone, she made a comment that has always been a popular opinion of society and for the most part, acceptable (in truth it is negative thinking instead of positive). I usually can keep my mouth shut, just accept that it is just the way she has been taught, and let it go after a short and well “disguised” positive rebuttal. Apparently that isn’t good enough for me anymore. We didn’t fight, but I also didn’t steer away from the conversation until I had explained that changing the way we think about things is critical to changing the way our world works. Positive reinforcement over negative verbal attacks will always bring about positive change in any situation no matter the circumstance. “We create our own reality by what we choose to ‘believe’ and subsequently say, do, and think”. She seemed to understand but was a bit blindsided by my fervor. She loves me anyway and I’m thankful every day for my mother!

Apart of the most important changes I have experienced has to be my ability to “Let it go”. I now understand what it means to give up the illusion of control and no longer worry about the lives of anyone else (including my children). Don’t get me wrong, I love them and will always desire happiness and well-being for them. But I no longer am deceiving myself into thinking that I have the right (or ability) to judge or attempt to manipulate them into living differently based on what I would like for them. They are responsible for themselves and their own lives and reality. What they are living has been created by them, as it is for each human being on this planet. Instead of calling them on the phone and attempting to ‘talk’ them into different choices or living patterns, or running to their rescue when they ‘choose’ themselves into a bind, I now meditate and send them Divine Love, Joy, Peace, Knowledge, Truth, and Wisdom their way. I don’t need to say a word to them. Just continue to meditate creating a positive reality for myself and sending them the most positive and highest vibrational Divine Energy I can. The Lord will work out the rest. And surprisingly, I’m not a basket case!?!

I know this email is a bit long but I wanted to you know how much the DNA Activation session has allowed true change in my life. There are several other areas I could write about (increased creativity, energy to do housework, true intuitive communication with my Spirit Guides, etc.) but I just can’t wait to get outside and watch the sunrise. 

Please feel free to share this email on your website. I really enjoyed reading the testimonials there and I would be honored if you felt led to share this one as well.
Many blessings to you,

Lover Archetype

February 10, 2016 by @candesscampbell

The creativity of your subconscious mind not only shows up in dreams, but also shows up as archetypes in your life. Archetypes are overlying patterns that show up in all cultures that are seeded in the psyche. Some examples of archetypes are mother, judge, teacher and healer. Today we will explore the Lover. When you begin to look at these patterns in your life, you can unleash your creative energy. You can access your natural path and move toward your Divine Soul purpose.

Leonard Cohen’s song Lover, Lover, Lover, rings in my ears as I explore the Lover Archetype in this series on archetypes.

“May the spirit of this song, may it rise up pure and free. May it be a shield for you, a shield against the enemy,” Cohen purrs. Love, being in love, being a lover brings forth not only the purity, freedom, passion, but also the enemy within: the jealousy, possessiveness, control and codependency. These are the sun and the shadow sides of the Lover archetype.

We all have an aspect of the lover archetype within, but I imagine when you think of your friends and loved ones, someone who embodies this archetype comes to mind. Whether they are passionate about life, about their relationships, or have a great passion for music, art or gardening, you can identify them right away.

If your creative energy is connected to the Lover archetype, you may find that you sacrifice much for your ideals. It may be that others think you don’t live in reality, or that your view of the world through the lens of your heart is not realistic. The lover may characterize you as genuine, happy and giving to others. The shadow side could manifest as obsessive, possessive and scary.

There is also something about the Lover archetype that draws us deep into a sense of suffering. Think about the suffering artist, the struggling musician, and the one who gave up everything for love.

As morose as it may seem, my favorite song, another of Cohen’s greats, is Joan of Arc. Cohen is a contemporary musician who clearly understands passion.

It was deep into his fiery heart
he took the dust of Joan of Arc,
and then she clearly understood
if he was fire, oh then she must be wood.
I saw her wince, I saw her cry,
I saw the glory in her eye.
Myself I long for love and light,
but must it come so cruel, and oh so bright?

It was Carl Gustav Jung, who was the father of analytical psychology who gave us the concepts of the archetypes, as well as the collective unconscious and the understanding of introversion and extroversion. He identified the shadow side of the archetype as the part that was relegated to the subconscious because, due to its negative qualities, it was not easily integrated into the personality. In psychoanalytic therapy and in dream work, it is important to access the shadow and bring it into the light so that it does not gain power and cause you to subconsciously behave in ways that can be self-defeating or damaging to others.

We know of many instances where the shadow side of love has been destructive. One example would be of Guinevere and Lancelot. Guinevere was married to King Arthur and had an affair with Sir Lancelot. Lancelot was a knight, one of King Arthur’s favorites. This indiscretion leads to the undoing of the Round Table.

What about one’s love for their country? This can also be an outpour of the Lover Archetype. With this strong passion, one can get caught up in an uprising that can end up in disaster or war. The obsessiveness of the shadow side of love can be all encompassing.

Some of our greatest discoveries have come from those who gave their lives to find a cure, understand a formula, and take a passionate stand. In today’s world, workaholism can show up as an expression of the lover archetype. Creativity abounds when you love what you do! The shadow side of this may be neglected relationships or declining health.

It is time to examine your own life and find what stokes your fire. For whom or what would you be willing to give up everything? Whether you actually do it or not, what do you love to do the most? When you look back over your life, where has passion been the driving force behind your choices? Who makes you angry? What would you fight for? Where do you find your bliss?

The Lover may or may not be a significant archetypal pattern for you. As you reflect, take notes on other archetypes you identify. Think about how others see you. Is your career representative of one of your archetypes? For example a strong archetype for me is the Teacher. Interwoven in my life and career is being a Spiritual Teacher. It comes natural to me. What would you do with your time if you had unlimited resources and freedom. What is your natural path? What is your Divine Soul Purpose?

Manifesting in the New Year!

December 16, 2015 by @candesscampbell

As you focus on the New Year you may be taking a look backward and reflecting on the current year. Your resolutions may be the same as last year or you have a something new ahead of you. Generally when I ask people what their last year’s resolutions were, they don’t remember. That was how it was for me too! Rather than making resolutions, now I pick one word for the year. This is one word I focus upon to increase in my life.

One year the word was money and I became more responsible by understanding my spending, my saving and my earnings. I spent time talking to those who had a grasp on money, got all of my financial information together in one place, and read information about abundance. My behaviors and excitement about increasing my revenue created the law of attraction. That year I increased my income by 25%. When you bring your attention to something, it increases.

Another year my focus was on food. I watched more “foody” shows on television, bought foods I had not tried before and made food like cauliflower, which has a lot of nutrients a staple in my life. I made green smoothies and my body glowed from all the enzymes. I increased my awareness of how food affects my health (and my mood!) I also lost weight.

This year I have shifted the way I look at manifesting and abundance. I used to get really specific about what I wanted to create. Although I do manifest really well, now I don’t limit the way I manifest by focusing on the particulars. Instead I focus on the feelings that come with having that manifestation. I experience my life as if I already have what it is I desire.

My word for 2016 is Allow. So often when I am working with clients I see them get clear on what they want, but then resist or reject the opportunities that come to them. I learned from this and will no longer bat away the opportunities that show up. I am becoming clear on what I resist and Allowing!

Join with me this season in choosing one word you would like to invite into your life in order to create the experience you desire. Have a Happy New Year!
