For me, connection to extra-dimensional beings is a pivotal part of the spiritual path. Not necessarily because it’s important, though I definitely have questions I would like answered. Talking to spirit guides is simply fun. Which of course makes it important, because the healing journey is challenging, full of difficult emotions and uncomfortable experiences. We need to have fun along the way, regardless of the circumstances, otherwise we risk life passing by without much enjoyment. We risk missing the opportunity to actually benefit from the fruits of our labor, to rejoice in how far we have come.
I’ve spent a huge portion of my life feeling miserable. That was how I coped with what child Me perceived as a hostile, serious world. Might as well be sad and work hard, set aside my playful nature; because life does not reward enjoyment, it rewards hard work. These were the subtle messages I was given as a child, so this was the attitude I adopted. Nowadays, as I’m deep into the process of becoming my true self, it is increasingly obvious that negativity is a limiting factor in my ability to enjoy the miracle that is life. So it must go. I must clear the path for positivity, levity, humor, and genuine en-joyment to enter into my body, my soul, my life.
Transitioning into a life of optimism and joy is not necessarily easy for me. Doubt, fear and limiting beliefs of my worthiness for a happy life are heavy loads that I’m used to carrying. What happens when I let those go? Will a vicious God smite me with disappointment and tragedy to prove a point? “No, the world is cruel! Stay in your hole! Limit your capacity! Save yourself from all possible failure!”
Something in me says those thoughts are lies, defense mechanisms that no longer serve me. So I’m saying no to fear and doubt, and instead choosing to lean into Trust of a loving Universe. I am choosing to affirm myself with positive thoughts, like “I am joyful; I am joy. I am strong; I am strength. I am healthy; I am health,” so on and so forth. The effects of this immense inner change are all around me, in the way I’m responded to rather than avoided, in the way I’m seeing beauty more clearly, in the incredible people I’m attracting. It’s a slow but sure process. But I will be happy. Mark my words. I am a happy person.
And a grateful one, at that. For it’s becoming more real that I actually do have helpers on the Other Side who care enough about connecting with me that they are willing to be patient as I develop my psychic abilities. They are willing to be misinterpreted again and again until I learn to see and hear them clearly. Although we all have guides, few people actually acknowledge or communicate with them, let alone even consider that an option. I feel blessed to have this desire to know more about myself and the Universe; I want to know so much that I need extra-dimensional beings to give me the scoop! I welcome them. I am One with them. We are all part of an intricate fabric some may call God, which is woven together with the infallible energy of Love. Life truly is a miracle. Talking to spirit guides is a miracle. I am a miracle.
And so it is: a stubborn Jar-Jar Binks doppelganger spirit has helped to open up a new world for me. It’s not always angels, or people we know, or anything we logically connect with, which shows up to guide us on the path. We are gifted with exactly what we need, and sometimes what we’re given makes next to no sense for quite some time. The Universe truly is full of surprises.
As I continue forth on my journey into the intention of extra-dimensional connection, I now have a less rigid view of what to expect. As much as possible, I am keeping my mind open to seeing and hearing things I never would have expected. I am going to look not at, not past, not through, but into the Heart of what is placed before me, whether in my minds-eye or out in the physical world.
Most importantly, I am going to enjoy myself and all of the connections that I make, no matter how perplexing or incomplete. Every new insight is a clue that I’ve evolved. Each new fit of laughter is a healing balm for my beautiful Soul. It’s worth venturing into unknown territory, at least with the proper energetic precautions in place, with helpful protective guides called upon. Throughout this process, as I’ve learned to set aside my confusion for curiosity, most of my spiritual guide experiences have been either profound, delightful, loving, liberating, or downright hilarious. Who wouldn’t want to add that kind of spice to their life?
Have you tried communicating with spiritual guides and encountered some strange blocks in your way? This story is a testament to keep going as long as you feel safe and have the proper energetic skills. Look into the heart of the blocks themselves, as these are pure guidance as much as a full-fledged conversation with a spirit may be. Keep asking questions. Most of all, believe! that you can communicate with your guides. They truly are always available, waiting patiently for us to lift the veil and give them a proper greeting.
