Meeting Saint Germaine

May 1, 2018 by @candesscampbell

Today is the Ascension Day of St. Germaine who is one of the Lords of Karma that guides my life and my work. I feel his presence around me often and I am comforted by him, as well as receive his creative guidance. This is a great day to share my story.

Saint Germain is Chohan of the Seventh Ray, the violet ray, of freedom, alchemy, justice, mercy and transmutation. He comes bearing the gift of the violet flame for world change. He tutors and initiates souls in mastery of the seat-of-the-soul chakra, preparing them to receive the Holy Spirit’s gifts of prophecy and the working of miracles.

Ascended Master Saint Germaine is now known as “The God of Freedom” for the Earth and, since May 1, 1954, the Hierarch for the “Dawning Golden Age” in this current Aquarian Age cycle. Today is the day that St. Germaine Ascended.

When I was 14 years old I was what was referred to back then as a “Jesus Freak.” If you research the movement you will get a lot of different views, but for me it was amazing. There was a coffee house in downtown Spokane called the “I AM Coffeehouse.” I hitchhiked downtown from the north side of Spokane to hang out and pass out the newspapers called “The Truth.” We shared the message, which was called Witnessing. Today if someone did this, it would annoy me, but this was the late 1960s and early 1970s and a totally different time. Below is a photo from that time with my then boyfriend Bernie.

On January 1, 1970 my family was visiting my aunt, uncle, and cousins who lived near Shadle Park. From their house I decided to take the bus downtown to “witness.” I walked to the bus stop at Alberta and Rowan and waited. A man pulled up in a baby blue pickup truck and asked me if I wanted a ride. I thought to myself, “Jesus will protect me,” so I got in.

I noticed he was taking me somewhere other than downtown. I began to panic and I could hardly breathe. I put my hand on the door handle, contemplating my next move. The truck turned left and I quickly opened the door and either jumped or flew out – or both.

The next thing I remember, I awakened to bright lights overhead. My eyes focused and I saw my dad and mom standing over me, their faces gray and drained. I was at Holy Family Hospital. I had been in a coma for two weeks.

I was told I had a contusion and a Catholic priest (my dad’s faith) had been called and he administered last rights. What happened for me, though, was that I experienced floating upward and going towards a light. There was a Being near the light (who now I know to be Saint Germaine) who said to me, “You are not done yet, you have to go back.”

Years later, with the help of my dear friend, the late Dr. Gilbert Milner, I was able to piece together the memories and sensations of this experience. Gil was a psychiatrist, shaman, cave diver, acupuncturist and hypnotherapist and – through hypnotherapy – he guided me to relive the experience of the accident.

This trauma resulted in brain damage (my term) and I had to relearn to coordinate my body. During the time that my brain was healing, I could not think well and therefore accessed the intuitive part of me in order to survive. This experience catapulted my psychic abilities and somehow left an opening for me to access the world beyond the physical.

Since I was a little girl I often reached out for the Spirit world as a safe haven. Although I adored my dad and he was my main nurturer, he was alcoholic and when he drank I didn’t feel safe. I began to “connect upward” rather than to trust those in physical bodies. I enjoyed a sense of belonging with God and the Angels and today I work closely with and am guided by a group of Ascended Masters called the Lords of Karma.

Today I assist others in connecting with their guides and their loved ones on the other side. I also facilitate a Karmic Clearing workshop with the Lords of Karma called Essential Energy Balancing. This workshop clears karma and connects you with your Higher Self, Essence Self, Goddess/God Self and Goddess/God.

On this celebratory day – Allow yourself the freedom to move into giving and receiving Love.

Prayer and Meditation

August 30, 2017 by @candesscampbell

In my office, when counseling and offering psychic readings and healing to my clients, I find that many are responding to the political climate of the time and experience a low grade fear, underneath what else is happening. You can feel the fear it in the air. It reminds me of when I was in Japan a couple months after the Tsunami in 2011. What I was reading in the United States newspapers was not what the Japanese were reading and I could feel the fear, even though I could not speak the language.

Today I am republishing my article originally published in Live Encounters Magazine.

I hope you find comfort.

Prayer and Meditation by Dr Candess M Campbell, #1 Best-selling Author, Intuitive Mentor, Speaker, International Psychic Medium Healer.

In this series on self-healing and transformation, prayer and meditation play an important part. Given these writings are from the book 12 Weeks to Self-Healing: Transforming Pain through Energy Medicine, this Live Encounters article will not be a overview of world wide prayer and meditation practices, but rather some of my own experiences and some tools for developing a practice.

When you have experienced pain or illness for a long period, I would imagine you turned to prayer. In exploring how important prayer is, let’s examine and revisit the way in which you pray.

Prayer

A verse in the Christian New Testament Bible assures that, “You will receive all that you pray for, provided you have faith” (Matthew 21:22). The way your parents and grandparents prayed may be different from how you pray today. Dr. Larry Dossey writes extensively about the power of prayer and healing in his 1993 book, Healing Words. In it, he cites a study by Herbert Benson of Harvard University Medical School.

Working with his fellow researcher and physiologist, Robert Keith Wallace, Benson showed that when subjects meditated with a mantra that consisted of an Asian word containing no meaning for the meditator, with use it became charged with ritualistic value, and healthful body changes occurred. These included lower blood pressure, slower heart rate, and lower metabolic rates. Benson believed there was no magic in the mantra.

To test this suspicion, he taught people to meditate using the word one or any other phrase they found comfortable. He then studied Christians and Jews who prayed regularly. He asked Catholics to use mantra phrases such as “Hail Mary, full of grace,” or “Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy upon me.” Jews mainly used either the peace greeting of shalom or echad, which means “one.” Protestants frequently chose the first line of the Lord’s Prayer, “Our Father who art in heaven,” or “The Lord is my shepherd,” which is the opening of the Twenty-third Psalm. All of the mantras worked, and all were equally effective in stimulating the healthful physiological changes in the body that Benson called the “relaxation response.” But Benson also found that those who used the word one, or similar simple phrases, didn’t stick with the program. Conversely, those who used prayers rather than meaningless phrases continued.

One way to pray is to be repetitive and this study shows using a word or words that are meaningful to you, affect your consistency. If you have ever used prayer beads or the rosary, you know this. Recital is another form of prayer. Many people use scripture from their religion as prayer. They may do this repetitively, or they may read scripture and then reflect on what it means. Others talk to God, Buddha, Allah, or their Higher Power as they would to a friend. I have often heard it said that prayer is talking to God, and meditation is listening.

Journaling is another way to connect with the Divine. “Dear God” letters are often effective in clarifying where you have become stuck. Having a heart full of gratitude is another way of praying. When you expand your view of prayer this way, you may find that you pray often through the day. I am a believer in the notion that whatever we focus on becomes greater and grander in our lives, so take some time to focus on gratitude and love. See how this affects your pain.

Meditation

Before I share with you about meditation, I want to acknowledge that you may experience resistance to meditation at first. You may be fearful to sit and really experience what you are thinking or feeling, or you may not want to become aware of the sensations in your body. Even this morning as I awoke, I quickly shifted my thoughts from meditation to something else. Why did I do that? Why was I so afraid to listen to what my mind was saying? Usually I awake with new ideas and plans and creative ventures. This morning I didn’t want to hear what I was thinking. I went back to catch the thought, and it was gone. When I sat up to read on my Kindle, I felt good. I looked at the calendar in my iPhone, and my day was set to write. It was a good day. What was I afraid to think about? I am sure it will surface in my meditation.

You may have this same experience. You may think there is just too much information in your mind, and you would never be able to quiet yourself, but it’s really not so difficult. Take a moment and just sit with your eyes open. Look at what is in front of you. Look at whatever you see and focus on the detail. Experience your senses. Feel the chair under you. Notice how your breath changes. You are becoming more aware, more awake, more alive, and you are beginning to come to a meditative state. Another way to do this is to close your eyes and listen. Listen to the sounds that are far away. Now listen to the sounds that are close by. Allow yourself to become more aware and more meditative!

Here are a few choices to begin a meditation practice.

Concentration Meditation

When practicing concentration meditation, you focus your attention on your breath, an image, or a sound (mantra) in order to still your mind and allow a greater awareness and clarity to emerge. This is similar to zooming in and narrowing the focus to a particular object or field.

Breathing Meditation

The most common meditation practice is focusing on your breath. Through this continued focus, the “mind clutter” begins to quiet, and you gain a sense of calmness and relaxation. Over time and with practice, the thoughts that were once racing or popping into your mind calm down, and a sense of peace takes over. As you focus on the breath, the rhythmic inhalation and exhalation deepens the breathing, and your mind and body become tranquil.

A more intense practice of focusing on the breath is pranayama breathing, which is a yogic practice. According to Swami Sivananda Rhada, this is a process of breath control. She says the purpose of this type of meditation is to connect with the cosmos and gain control over your central nervous system and mind. It is best practiced with character building and to learn to manage the lower physical self. This is a practice of alternate nostril breathing. “Character building” and “managing your lower physical self” means taking control over your thoughts and behaviors that no longer serve you, while creating new, positive, healthy thoughts and behaviors.

I first became aware of pranayama breathing when I traveled to India with a friend of mine who has a home in India but currently lives in the United States. He said that his uncle taught him this practice. When we were at his home in Kolkata (formerly Calcutta), he sat cross-legged on the floor every morning and practiced this breathing for twenty to thirty minutes. This practice increases the alpha waves, and the benefits if executed correctly are to calm the mind, gain control over the emotions, refine the senses, and remove all selfish desires while gaining a sense of peace and harmony. It has also been said to balance the right and left brain.

Various teachers may instruct you to do this differently, but a simple method follows:

Close the right nostril with your right thumb, and inhale through the left nostril to the count of four seconds.
Then close the left nostril with your right ring finger and little finger. At the same time, remove your thumb from the right nostril. Exhale through this nostril to the count of eight seconds.
Next, inhale through the right nostril to the count of four seconds. Close your right nostril with your right thumb, and exhale through the left nostril to the count of eight seconds.
This is one round. It is recommended to start slowly with a few rounds and build up.

Focusing on an Object

Focusing on an object is another choice for concentration meditation. There are several objects you can use, but I suggest you find one that is pleasing to you. You could focus on an external object such as a candle flame, a bowl, a flower, or a photo of someone you love. You could also choose a photo of Jesus, Buddha, or an angel. Another method is to focus in the center of your head—the space above and behind your eyes, in the middle of your head. This is a place of neutrality. You may instead choose to focus either between your eyes or in the center of your heart. Another commonplace to practice focus is in your belly, three fingers below your belly button and inside a few inches. The conscious focus in the above examples is on the candle, photo, or particular body part. However, in focusing on those literal objects, you become aware of the breathing as well, and you experience a calm, relaxed, tranquil state of being.

Using a Mantra

A third concentration meditation involves using a mantra. A mantra is a short phrase with an easy rhythm used to increase results. A mantra is used to suggest a favorable state of being. My favorite walking mantra is, “I am strong, healthy, and fit.” Mantras originated in the Vedic tradition of enlightenment in India and have since been incorporated by many traditions.

According to “The Power of Mantra Chanting,” an article by Gyan Rajhans, “The sacred utterances or chanting of Sanskrit Mantras provide us with the power to attain our goals and lift ourselves from the ordinary to the higher level of consciousness.” This is believed to be so because “different sounds have different effects on the human psyche.” Repeating a mantra is a spiritual technique that calms the mind and makes one more attuned to Spirit.

Mindfulness Meditation

The practice of mindfulness meditation comes from Buddhism and has been also been taught by many in the West. In mindfulness meditation, you focus on the present moment and not the past or the future. While you notice your thoughts, you realize that they are just thoughts and let them go by. This is done with awareness that that your thoughts are simply your thoughts, and that you are not your thoughts. This meditation can be done at any time. It is a daily practice of awareness in the present moment.

There are many ways to practice mindfulness meditation. One that I particularly enjoy is to focus on the sounds close by and then the sounds that are far away. This takes me into a state of meditation that I enjoy, which is just being present.

Guided Meditation

Guided meditation is similar to hypnotherapy. In guided meditation, a person or a recorded script guides you into a meditative state. You can also take yourself through guided imagery with a script or with awareness of the images you would like to create.

As with hypnotherapy, guided imagery uses all of your senses, yet guided imagery is different in that it focuses and directs your imagination. When your mind is imagining, your body responds as if what it sees is true. An example of this might include imagining a vacation. Let’s pick a beach resort. As you are sitting at your desk at work, you find yourself drifting to the beach, feeling the sun on your face, smelling the sea, and imaging the taste of a fresh, cold lemonade next to you. Your body may relax as your breathing slows down and time speeds up. This is an example of going into trance and experiencing whatever you imagine.

Guided imagery is used for many purposes, and the imagery selected will depend on your goal. For instance, if you want to manage your pain, the imagery may be full of metaphors that help you to connect with your subconscious mind. For example, when I awake in the morning with pain in my neck from sleeping, during meditation I image a blue light coming down from the top of my head into the painful areas of my neck and shoulders. As I do this, I see the blue light cooling off the inflammation in my neck and shoulders. Within a minute or so, the pain is gone. (Remember that I have been practicing for quite some time, and this technique is a result of the practice. Do not be discouraged if you try this and it does not work for you immediately. Keep practicing!)

If you are interested in learning a guided meditation that teaches you self-healing tools and takes you through a process of clearing your chakras, you can use my CD, Chakra Clearing.

Make no mistake, whether prayer or meditation, the process stills the chatter and voices within so you can hear your own inner guidance—the voice of the Divine, God, the Goddess or your Guides. Prayer and meditation allow you to open yourself to wisdom and healing beyond what your Ego dictates or allows. No matter what you call it, when you achieve inner peace, you affect the world around you by increasing the peace of others.

The Story of my NDE (Near Death Experience)!

August 30, 2016 by @candesscampbell

I put my story about my Near Death Experience (NDE)

in the very back of my book Live Intuitively: Journal the Wisdom of your Soul

and want to share it with you here.

THIS IS THE beginning of it all and so I am a little surprised I would list this at the end, but I think that telling this story is important.

When I was 14 years old I was what was referred to back then as a “Jesus Freak.” If you research the movement you will get a lot of different views, but for me it was amazing.

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,

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.
