Arie Luyendyk Jr. – Listen to your Gut!

March 7, 2018 by @candesscampbell

Arie Luyendyk Jr., the recent Bachelor on the The Bachelor was trashed all over social media because of his recent decision. If you haven’t been watching the show, he proposed to Becca Kufrin. They spent weeks together but his mind was split between Becca and the other woman he had fallen in love with on the show, Lauren Burnham.

Lauren presented (as the “Reality Show” depicted her) as being insecure and needing constant reassurance. We all could see Arie light up when he was around her, but many of the viewers and his family saw Becca as the better choice. She was confident, happy, fun and a beautiful woman.

Eventually Arie contacted Lauren through Instagram and started a conversation, which resulted in his breaking off the engagement to Becca. On After the Final Rose, an extended program they created, he proposed to Lauren.

The large following of Bachelor Nation was outraged, but I felt differently.

As a counselor and a psychic medium, working with clients for over 30 years, I was delighted to see him follow his “gut feeling.” He struggled he said from either being in his head or following his heart, but as I watched this season of the show, I could see it was his gut that was screaming out to him and his head that was being what we would think of as reasonable.

In sessions with clients when they are leaving a marriage or other relationship, I ask them, “When did you first know this was not the person for you?” Almost always they would answer something like “When we first met,” or “The day of the wedding.” Making decisions where your heart, head and gut are involved are not easy. Had they listened to their intuition, many of the traumatic experiences would not have happened.

This is especially true when you have never been taught how to develop your intuition and to trust it.

[clickToTweet tweet=”Arie finally followed his gut! #AftertheFinalRose #BachelorNation @arie” quote=”Arie finally followed his intuition!”]

There are four basic ways to get intuitive information.

Clairsentience or “clear feeling”

Clairsentience comes from your feelings and physical sensations. When you begin to develop this sense, it is important to slow down and notice how you feel in certain situations.

Claircognizance or “clear knowing”

When you find you just know something, but cannot explain why, this can be claircognizance.

Clairaudience or “clear hearing”

Clairaudience is when you hear information. These voices can be from different sources within.

Clairvoyance or “clear seeing”

With clairvoyance you may see images and understand the meaning of these visions.

This may be a good time to become aware of your own inner guidance, your own intuition. One way to do this is to start a journal and just take notes about what you sense, know, hear, or images you get and then start seeing how they validate what happens in your life.

You can also find a PDF 4 Ways to Develop your Clairvoyance on my website.

With 4 Ways to Develop Your Clairvoyance you can also teach your children how to trust their gut. Children are more in tune with this ability because they have not lost it yet! Find a friend and start exploring with each other by sharing experiences and you’ll see how easy it is to start listening to your intuition.

After this debacle, Arie’s fiancé Lauren no longer presents as being insecure. It appears she truly knows that Arie has chosen her. This supports the thought that “everything happens for a reason.” Having said that, I think we can all agree that initially following your intuition is the simplest and easiest way to live your life.

Blessings to Arie and Lauren. I wish them a spectacular life together.

Congratulations to Becca Kufrin, the new Bachelorette!

All is well in Bachelor Nation!

Communication and ADD

September 26, 2017 by @candesscampbell

Have you ever listened to a friend and thought “Can she even hear herself?” We all have patterns of communication and behavior that we exhibit to the world. Sometimes you don’t even recognize what you are saying or doing is in direct contradiction to what you believe. Often you will notice someone judging someone else for the very behavior they themselves have! I see this often on social media.

I remember one day my daughter said to me, “Mom, you’ve said that before, several times.” Many of you know when I was 14 years old I had an accident that resulted in a Near Death Experience with head injuries. As a result of this I have experienced some memory problems. Another result of this trauma was I lost my sense of smell, which also influences memory. A positive from the accident is a definite increase in my intuition. When my brain was injured, my intuitive self took over and now much of how I access information is intuitively.

Unless you continually challenge your brain, you can develop memory lapses. Since my daughter’s comment, I have been working on being aware and not repeating myself as often. Repeating can happen for reasons other than memory problems and brain injury. When one has a history of not being heard or have not being listened to by others, they can develop a pattern of repeating. Saying the same thing over and over again can also come from a lack of self-awareness. It can also be an ineffective way of trying to heal an emotional wound. You may say the same thing over and over but nothing changes. It would be more effective to change your behavior by accepting a situation or changing your relationship with the problem; forgiving, leaving, setting boundaries and such. Saying the same thing over and over can also be a sign of ADD.

Have you ever had a conversation with a friend, loved one or a co-worker who often repeated the same thing and didn’t focus. Someone with whom you tried to create a plan, but politely getting them to pay attention, listen and commit to a time was near impossible? Instead they just kept telling you all the situations that went on in their day and you were not able to set a meeting.

So, how to do you communicate with friends, loved ones and co-workers that are ADD or have ADD
symptoms?

[clickToTweet tweet=”What are ADD symptoms?” quote=”What are ADD symptoms?”]

Listed here are some of the Inattentive Symptoms of ADD; not the Hyperactive Symptoms. This may help you to identify why you’ve had some difficulty communicating with someone. It can clarify why you may have felt frustrated and hopefully will give you some helpful communication solutions for yourself.

Inattentive ADD Symptoms

Careless mistakes/lack of attention to details
Lack of sustained attention
Poor listener
Failure to follow through on tasks
Poor organization
Forgetful in daily activities
Avoiding tasks requiring sustained mental effort
Losing things
Easily distracted

[clickToTweet tweet=”Get tools to communicate with someone who has Inattentive ADD.” quote=”Get tools to communicate with someone who has Inattentive ADD.”]

Depending upon how close you are to this person, you may want to research more about ADD and continue to learn.
Here are some simple ideas that may help.

Use emails as your primary form of communication to set up meetings. This way you can scan the email quickly for the details about the meeting.
Start your conversation with, “I have one minute to plan this meeting.”
When the person becomes tangential, politely bring them back to topic. “Oh, I’m sorry, I
have to go, when did you say you could meet?”
Give the person 3 clear choices of times.
Be willing to set a boundary.
If the person won’t be decisive, realize the meeting may not happen and move on.
Plan your communication with the person when you have enough time to go through the
process to get the meeting planned.
Have a plan B for your time so if their disorganization creates a last minute cancelation, it
won’t disrupt your life.

These are some ideas that may be helpful. Again, if this is someone you live with or a supervisor, I encourage you to find more information on this topic.

Resolving Conflict

September 6, 2017 by @candesscampbell

“Sure it hurts, but if you love someone, you forgive them.” Blanche “Some things you forgive, some things you never forgive.” Kate

– from Brighton Beach Memoirs by Neil Simon

Our current planetary conflict is a great backdrop for me to expound on how to resolve conflict and the pitfalls of communication. With all the floods and fires on our coveted planet and in our politics, I thought this would be a timely topic.

Here are some helpful steps.

Clear with this person on an energetic level.

Ground your energy. Here is a video that will teach you to do this. http://bit.ly/wBHJbh
You have an aura around you which is part of your energetic self. Imagine pulling your aura in around your body. Pull it in about 6 – 8 inches around you.
Focus in your heart and bring your attention out of the top of your head into the heavens.
Image the person there with you. At this level, send them love from your heart. You may also imagine sending them golden white Light from your heart.
If you can do this without anger or negative feelings, talk with them at this level.
Come back down, image yourself filling up with golden white Light and release any leftover energy down your grounding cord.

Steps to resolve conflict in person.

Write out the situation in your journal and then re-read it the next day. Sometimes it helps to do this a few times, so that you can become clear on what happened and what you want to communicate.

Become aware of your own part of the situation, even if you perceive it to be minor in comparison to the other person.

If you are angry, look at where you may be feeling hurt or fearful. These emotions are often right under the surface of anger. Feel your feeling and let them go. Journal them over and over if need be.

Contact the person you are having conflict with and use clear, direct, honest communication. I suggest you meet in person (not via text or email) because this allows you not only to read the body language, but also to open your heart.

Give the other person the chance to communicate their side completely. It is helpful to use the words, “I heard you say,” and repeat back to them what you heard and let them clarify. This helps them to feel heard. You can hear what someone is saying without agreeing with them. It is important that you hear.

Once the other person feels heard, share your side. They may not listen well and you may not feel heard. If that is the case use the broken record method. Continue to say the core message again and again, “I hear what you say, and ______.” Yes, that is true, and _______.” Do this until they are able to understand they are not hearing you.

Make a request of the person such as “My request is we put this behind us and go on from here,” or “My request is that we continue to meet and talk weekly until we can resolve this.” You can use whatever it is that you desire.

Trust your intuition, and use as many of these steps as you would like. If the person is not willing to meet with you or clear the situation with you, then move on and let it go. No longer allow them into your energy field and set healthy boundaries.

Sometimes people have a hard time clearing conflict because of negative communication patterns. Often these reactions were learned in early childhood as a survival response to a dysfunctional family. In this case they may triangle in other people to take sides, or become passive aggressive and rather than talking with you directly, they will be passive in their aggression in a subversive manner.

More will be shared about this in this communication series.

One of the books I recommend for healthy communication is Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life by Marshall B. Rosenberg

An Incredible Exchange of Love

May 24, 2017 by @candesscampbell

It was a long, snowy winter for many of us in the northern US and spring is a welcome change! I found myself sedentary and isolating, with the exception of my twice weekly jaunts to Spokanimal to cuddle and walk dogs. Having Domingo move to Dog Heaven in July 2016, my mantra has been “I’m not ready,” as I showed up week after week.

Domingo

It reminds me of the Three Bears story. There were several dogs I fell in love with but they were not just right.

In an intuitive image, I saw the dog that was coming into my life, but images are not always clear. I knew the dog would be light colored, with some curl to his hair and would barely shed. I talked to friends about Labradoodles and other dogs that may look like this. I actually ended up adopting a poodle, but Quinn and I were not a good fit, so I returned him so he was able to find his true home. I was on the right intuitive track, but he was not the right choice.

And then I found Gummidge. Not sure where the name came from but I found it is the name of a Scarecrow Character in an English Fairy tale.

Before Photo of Gummidge

I walked and cuddled Gummidge and I knew he was an Angel. I wanted to take him immediately, but had to get back to work and I also like to “sleep on things.” I pondered his name and decided I would keep Gummidge out of respect for him and add Angelo. Gummidge Angelo. We’ll call him Angel!

On the way home from Spokanimal!

Wednesday morning I was there as soon as the shelter opened and we became family! I loved having him with me in the car (and yes I do use a halter.)

A new home for Gummidge Angelo “Angel”

Immediately I was happier and had more energy. The next morning he walked me for 40 minutes and continues to walk me every morning for about an hour. The love energy exchange has been so healing. I realized with Domingo my previous dog, that it is the need to love something, to be other centered that is so healing. Not only that. When you have a companion that loves unconditionally, especially if you work helping others, or don’t have adequate family support; it can be amazing!

The infamous River Walk

Even my BFF Cheyenne energetically read my heart telling me about the increase in vibrational energy since Angel and I chose each other. He loves sitting at my feet in my office when I am working! I love it too!

Sananda – The Risen Jesus

March 28, 2017 by @candesscampbell

This week, the guide I would like to introduce you to is Jesus Christ. He is known as Sananda in the inner planes. He is the Master of the sixth ray, the ray of abstract idealism and devotion, which is indigo. During His incarnation as Jesus, he was a high priest in the order of Melchizedek and was overshadowed during His life by Lord Maitreya. He also had lives as Adam, Enoch, Jeshua, Joshua, Elijah and Joseph of Egypt. He works with Archangel Uriel to bring peace, brotherhood, service and freedom to people. Many missionaries, lawyers, public servants, social workers, blue collar workers, farmers and business people are on this ray.

Sananda is the risen name (spiritual identity) of the physical human known as Jesus of Nazareth. The spiritual mentor who ensures that, ultimately, our evolutionary path and spiritual growth is sustained in accordance with our souls’ highest spiritual aims. To do so, his energy is in contact with each of us at all times, guiding us from the higher realms to embrace self loving choices and actions in our daily lives and improve our understanding and practice of Unconditional Love. This beloved master has showed humanity that death can be overcome and that love, forgiveness and compassion are our true nature. “What I have done you can do and more.” Like all great masters Jesus did not come to be worshiped, he came to teach humanity how to become Christ like.

In another blog I will share a powerful experience I had with Jesus when I had a house fire in the 1980’s. Now though, let’s focus on connecting with your Guides using your Intuition. Today we focus on Clairsentience. In the coming weeks, I’ll teach about Clairaudience, Claircognizance and Clairvoyance.

Clairsentience comes from your feelings and physical sensations. When you begin to develop this sense, it is important to slow down and notice how you feel in certain situations.

This sense can often show up as a “gut feeling.” Think of times when you had this feeling and didn’t listen. That will help you when you get a gut hit again. You will be more likely to tap in and listen. This will help you to develop it even more!

You can ask your guide to give you signs they are present. You may also ask that a loved one who has passed over to connect with you.

You may notice a familiar scent worn by a loved one or smell fire or flowers when there is none around. You may feel your hair being stroked or feel like you are being surrounded by a hug. You could sense someone sitting next to you and feel comforted.

It may be helpful to keep a journal of your senses and become more aware of what information you pick up. Don’t doubt yourself. Just notice it and make a note in your journal.

As you practice connecting with your guides, your mind will quiet and you will begin to sense on another level. Afterward take notes in your journal or do free writing. Since we are focusing on Clairsentience the Soul Stems for this week are :

What I want to sense from my guide is . . .

When I sense my guide around me, I am motivated to . . .

I resist sensing my guide by . . .

My compassion for myself will increase when . . .
In the next few weeks I will continue sending you information about the Lords of Karma – the group of guides that I have worked with most of my life. You can explore and practice connecting with them and see who shows up for you as you show up for them!

Clairaudience – Connecting with a Loved One

January 18, 2017 by @candesscampbell

One of the four ways to develop your Intuition is Clairaudience. This is when you hear information from your Higher Self, Guides, Angels or a Loved One who passed over. According to Doreen Virtue, these voices can be from different sources. When you hear information, ask who is talking to you. Information from God/Divine Spirit is loud and to the point. It is friendly, casual and with modern language. Archangels are also loud and to the point, but are more formal and direct. They often talk about getting on track with your goals and not being fearful or doubting yourself. Angels are also formal and direct.

When you talk with deceased loved ones, they sound the way they did when they were physically alive. When I connect others with their loved ones during a psychic medium reading, I first see the person’s personality and how they were when they were incarnated. Then I sense them as they are in Spirit. Connecting with your loved one on the other side can resolve unfinished business and give you comfort.

I’m blessed to communicate often with my family who passed over. I remember when my granddaughter Noel was young and I was thinking, “I wish my mom could see her.” Then I heard Mom say “honey, I’m here and I can see her.” She went on to share how special she thought Noel was. It was amazing and comforting.

[clickToTweet tweet=”Connect with a loved one on the other side. 30 minutes can change your heart. http://bit.ly/2hGeB1D” quote=”Connect with a loved one on the other side. 30 minutes can change your heart. http://bit.ly/2hGeB1D” theme=”style1″]

Your Higher Self sounds like your own voice and is supportive and loving. Your ego comes across as abusive, discouraging, paranoid and depressing. When I ask a question and am not sure if it is my ego or not, I ask, then I bring my attention up out of my crown chakra at the top of my head up into the heavens and ask again. I can usually discern between my Higher Self and my Ego.

Become aware of the voices you hear. Relax and don’t analyze. Just listen and start to identify your Higher Self from your Ego. Make notes in your journal and trust yourSelf.
