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.”

The Saboteur Archetype

June 2, 2016 by @candesscampbell

There is a situation in my life that may be an opportunity manifested. When manifesting though, as soon as you identify what you want or see the manifestation ahead, doubt sets in and you begin to undo that which you have been working on creating! This is what is happening for me, so I decided to revisit The Saboteur Archetype and explore what is happening at a deeper level.

I took a class from Caroline many years ago on Sacred Contracts and then taught from her book of the same name. From the information I gained from her and some of my own experiences, I came up with a list of characteristics of these archetypes. Myss explains how each of these four archetypes are like legs of a table in which we build our life. Here is some information about the Saboteur Archetype which Myss refers to as the Guardian of Choice.

If you journal, this will give you a great opportunity to explore your inner life journaling from these characteristics. You may want to use my book Live Intuitively: Journal the Wisdom of your Soul when you explore deeper. You can use the Soul Stems, which are writing prompts to take you deeper into your Self!

Core issue of Saboteur is fear of inviting changes into your life; changes that shape and deepen your spirit

Other side of destruction is rebuilding and rebirth
Use saboteur to consciously dismantle areas of your life you need to fix or heal
Makes itself known through disruption and resistance
Is the mirror that reflects your fears of taking responsibility for yourself and what you create
You can silence the saboteur with acts of courage and following your intuition
Listen to the small voice and make choices – small ones to begin with
Shadow saboteur will play on your fears that you are not good enough to accomplish anything on your own
We are afraid that if we are enlightened we will be alone, wont’ be vulnerable, capable of sensual love, so we feed the shadow saboteur, the part of use that is fragmented
We fear empowerment because we think it will remove us from the warmth and comfort of loved ones
We fear empowerment because we don’t want to be responsible for our actions and therefore consciously or unconsciously encourage our weakness and hold onto our fears; we do want to be around others that are empowered or enlightened though
Do you sabotage your personal growth for a little comfort or does your inner saboteur alert you to stay on the Yellow Brick Road
Work with your saboteur to see where you may be doing yourself in (what are you doing you know you should not be doing and what you are not doing that you know you should be doing?
Have you blown an opportunity to follow a dream?
Saboteur is made up of the fears and issues related to low self esteem that cause you to make choices in your life that block your own empowerment and success
When you make the saboteur your ally it can call your attention to ways you might be sabotaged or sabotage yourself and then you can make other choices The intellect of the scarecrow can work with your saboteur to alert you to when you are doing yourself in

Here is the Soul Stem Process and a few Soul Stems to work with.

What scares me the most about (the manifestation) is . . .

If I walk away from this opportunity then . . .

The opportunity I regret not taking is . . .

When I say YES to this experience, I will . . .

Enjoy the process of deepening your relationship with yourSelf!

I am available for a psychic readings if you want some clarity and energy clearing.

Writing with Soul Stems

April 5, 2016 by @candesscampbell

This last week I facilitated a workshop on my new book Live Intuitively: Journal the Wisdom of your Soul. In this book I use Soul Stems. A Soul Stem is a writing prompt that takes you deeper within yourself where you will be able to access your own Soul information! In my new book, you will also be guided to intuitively read your chakras and journal with the symbols you receive.

Here are some Soul Stems you can begin with.

(Have a notebook that is not expensive, one where you can be messy and find a fast writing pen.)

Set a timer for 20 minutes or commit to 4 full pages of a notebook size paper.

Start with a Soul Stem such as

What frustrates me the most is . . .

What I really want in my life is . . .

I would be happy if . . .

Continue writing for 10 to 20 minutes. Don’t worry about punctuation or spelling, just keep your pen moving. If you get stuck, just write “I am stuck or I’ don’t know what to write” over and over until something else comes up.

You will probably start with something that is on the surface, then move into resistance (I don’t want to do this, my hand hurts, this is boring) and then eventually you move into what is really going on deep within you.

If may take 3 or 4 sessions to get to this point, but don’t give up.

This is a commitment to connecting with your SELF!

December 2015 Astrological Forecast

December 4, 2015 by @candesscampbell

Whether you are advanced in your knowledge of astrology, or you read your daily horoscope, this is a great way to learn and plan your month. Whatever your faith, this is a celebratory time for many of us! If this is a time of gift giving for you, a reading from Lee is a great gift as well. Thanks to Lee at StillwatersAstro for keeping us informed.

Another way I use Lee’s services, is when I do a workshop or launch a book. When I launched my book 12 Weeks to Self-Healing: Transforming Pain through Energy Medicine, I consulted Lee for the best dates to launch. As it happened on November 5, 2013, the launch date, my book became a #1 Best-seller on Amazon. Stay tuned – my next book Live Intuitively: Journal the Wisdom of your Soul will be out soon!

December 4th: Venus enters Scorpio at 8:14 pm PST. Transiting Venus will occupy the sign of Scorpio through December 29th elevating the intuition of those with natal planets in the water signs of Pisces, Cancer, and Scorpio. Venus in Scorpio will also bring balance, healing, and personal magnetism to those with planets in the earth signs of Taurus, Virgo, and Scorpio.

December 9th: Mercury enters Capricorn at 6:34 pm PST. Mercury’s arrival in the pragmatic earth sign of Capricorn emphasizes communications involving authority, commitments, endurance, and responsibilities through February 16, 2016 when it enters Aquarius. Mercury will have journeyed in Capricorn for 69 consecutive days including 20 days in retrograde during January 2016.

December 11th: New Moon in Sagittarius at 2:29 am PST. The New Moon in the fire sign of Sagittarius brings levity to lift the holiday spirits in the midst of a challenging planetary formation: Mars in Libra, Uranus in Aries, and Pluto in Capricorn. Those with planets near 12 degrees to 18 degrees in the Cardinal signs of Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn are likely to experience the effects of this month’s “Cardinal T-Square” formation.

December 21st: Sun enters Capricorn / Winter Solstice 8:47 pm PST. The Earth stands still on its axis having reached the peak of its annual northern journey officially ushering in the Winter Season in the northern hemisphere.

December 25th: Full Moon in Cancer/Capricorn at 3:11 am PST. The final Full Moon of 2015 arrives on Christmas Day this year at 3 deg 20 min in the sign of Capricorn. Those with natal planets or chart angles between 1-5 degrees will experience the effects of this Full Moon.

December 25th: Uranus in Aries stations direct at 7:52 pm PST. Uranus steps forward in the fire sign of Aries at 16 deg 33 min after 5 months in retrograde. The planet Uranus is the “agent of change” for each planet. It aspects in our natal charts, so it’s wise to acquaint ourselves with the planets in our natal charts to receive an annual forecast of our own personal astrological weather reports each year.

December 29th: Venus enters Sagittarius at 11:17 pm PST. Venus completes Her 25 day journey through Scorpio as She enters the buoyant fire sign of Sagittarius to ring in the New Year of 2016…

Step away from the Phone!

October 20, 2015 by @candesscampbell

I grabbed my iPhone and my ear buds as I walked downstairs to put the leash on Domingo. I was busy this morning catching up on emails and getting ready to see clients and neglected to walk him.

As I started out I got a sense that it was time to leave my iPhone behind. My first thought was of the bald eagle I saw fly by my window this morning and wanted to make a case for bringing my camera, but another voice said no.

The voice – my intuitive Self – said no. I quickly understood that one of the greatest detriments to accessing intuition is being over-stimulated. I don’t know about you, but my phone is my email, text messages, Skype, Facetime, Facebook, Google +, Tinder, Candy Crush, Meetup and on and on.

It felt so good to hear the river flowing, even as low as it is this time of year. I heard a neighbor laugh, a worker drop a piece of slate and more than anything; my own thoughts. For some of us walking is a form of meditation. It is where we re-new and reduce stress.

Today I am inviting you to take time to put your phone away. Build up to hours a day. Whether you want to connect with your intuition or with your child or loved one, it doesn’t matter. It’s a wise and peaceful choice.

Clairaudience is “Clear Hearing”

October 17, 2015 by @candesscampbell

One of the four ways to develop your Intuition is Clairaudience. This is when you hear information. 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 a deceased loved ones, they sound the way they did when they were physically alive. I am blessed to communicate with my family who passed over often. I remember when my granddaughter Noel was young and I was thinking, “I wish my mom could see her.” Then I heard her say that she was here and could see her all the time. She went on to share how special she thought Noel was. It was amazing and comforting.

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.
