Is Believing Mean Having Blind Faith?

Believing is having blind faith. This was a statement once told to me by a non-believer. I was once asked if something was true or not. Now this had to do with crystal healing, which many of you know that I love to use and work with in my daily life as well as my professional life and upcoming book. But this person was a big skeptic. They said how could you possibly believe in something if you have no facts to base it on. Well this is where faith comes in to play. But still they questioned. I was told that believing in something without facts and a basis for it was blind faith and this was completely stupid, in this person’s wording, not my own.

I asked them in they believed in anything out there in the world or otherwise at all. They said of course, they believed in things that they could see, feel, hear, and touch. And that is a wonderful trait that almost all of us have, but what about believing in the unknown. Absolutely not they informed me, as this again would be foolish and stupid.

Now let’s break this down, as I was not asking this person to believe in Santa Claus or something, but the concept is still behind it. It believes in something you cannot always see. Seeing is not believing, believing is seeing! What do you think having faith is? Believing in the cold hard facts? That is not faith. That is already proven. Having faith is believing in something you cannot prove or disprove but believe it is real to yourself because it resonates within you. Not everyone’s beliefs are going to be the same and that is perfectly acceptable as we are all on our own spiritual pathway through life.

Just because you cannot see how crystal-healing works doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. It seems means that your eyes and brain are not capable of understanding and seeing on the physical plane how this interprets into something that can heal your physical body. Crystals heal on a vibrational and energy field level. All of us are composed of energy and vibrate at different levels. Crystals work within the energy fields surrounding us, known as auras, and can stimulate the negative and stagnant area that is causing our physical body a problem and turn this energy into a flowing and positive form all within their own healing attributes.

Just because we cannot see it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exists or happen. Let’s use another example with the ocean and its depths. Have you ever been to the bottom of the ocean? I mean the true true bottom! There has got to be one point somewhere in all of the oceans that reaches to the deepest point on Earth. Have you ever been there? Have you ever even seen a picture of it? Probably not, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist or it is not there. All that means is that your awareness has not been expanded enough to know about it yet. Once we open up our awareness and expansion to different areas, we are not being foolish or stupid by believing in something we cannot see, we are simply opening ourselves up to the possibility that it can rightfully exist and happen for us.

So take a few moments each day and try to think of some new and exciting possibilities you might want to expand your awareness about and see where it takes you in your life! You will be pleasantly surprised!

How To Have Faith When Everything Is Going Wrong?

This is a big question I get a lot in the line of work that I am doing, especially being a psychic medium, energy worker and Ordained Minister. This is also something that a lot of people struggle with in every day life.

We hear things about the laws of the universe and how we attract things into our life, as well as things don’t just happen out of coincidence. So what do we do when it feels like everything is going wrong? We have faith!

“Faith in what?” is generally the next question I receive. That everything is going and happening for the divine love and purpose that it is supposed to happen. We cannot figure everything out in life, nor should we try. I think that would drive anyone crazy.

There are so many different religions, and I am not going to preach or lecture about any of them, as I have a more spiritual based faith. But almost everyone believes in something. Who can honestly say one religion or belief is better or worse then other? No one really knows for sure.

So why not just have faith! Faith is the key to a lot of things, as well as surrendering and letting go of our pre-conceived ideas of what should happen and take place. We never know how things are going to manifest and connect in our lives, but they always do, and generally when we are least trying to force them.

I once told a dear friend of mine that when things are looking at their worst to look up. For some reason that has stuck with him and gets him through some of these tough times that everyone faces at some point in their lives.

It doesn’t matter what religion or beliefs that you have. What matters is that you do believe!

You can call it God, Jesus, Buddha, Angels, Spirit, Universe and so many other terms, but if you stop and think about it, isn’t it all the same thing? A singular power that is out there and controls, manifests, draws in and changes things in our life. Does it really matter the name that we give it? Do you think that it matters to he/she/them what we decided to call it? No, it doesn’t! What matters is that you believe and have faith in it! That you turn to this and have ask for help in times of need, and show appreciation and gratitude in times of abundance and happiness.

So the next time life throws you a curve ball, don’t wonder why this or that happened or re-play a million ideas in your head of how, when or why. Just look up, ask and have faith!

Can You Help Change The World?

Changing the world can be a very big undertaking and task to accomplish, but not impossible!
When I was a little girl I always knew I was here on Mother Earth for a special reason. I wasn't quite sure what that reason was, but it was unmistakably known to me by my guides that I was here to change things.

Growing up with a family life of always having to do this or that a certain way can take a toll on anyone mentally, emotionally and spiritually. I was lucky enough to have role models in my life, as well as my guides, to help steer me in the right direction.

Now no one's life choices are perfect, and I have learned from my own mistakes. But one thing that never changed in my life was how I could affect others in such a positive way. It is a ripple effect in life, both on the positive and the negative end of the spectrums.

For example, if you do just one good thing for three people, and those three people do three more positive things for three other people you can easily see how this can fan outward. It can be the same for negativity, as this energy can drain a person inward.

I used to hear people say I was always trying to make the world a better place, and thought that it was possible. Why not? There is so much negativity, fighting, wars, famine, disease, hardship, and so much more why not try to change this for the better.

Even if I touch just one person's life and this fans out, it is so worth it in the long run. I may not see this in my lifetime, or in my children's lifetime, but I know it is there and working for the better. And the more people doing this, the higher the vibrational level will be and the quicker this will all turn around for the positive, so we may just see this in our own lifetimes.

So how do you start changing the world? Did you ever see the movie "Evan Almighty"? ARK is the answer to this question. One act of random kindness at a time! ARK!

Now I was raised with a very strict religious background of fearing God, church services on Sunday's, weekly bible study lessons and much more. I have nothing against religions at all, as everyone believes differently as we are all on different spiritual pathways through life. My belief is more spiritual in nature, as I choose to believe that we are all created by and with love, with nothing to fear in this. But the word ark reminds a lot of people of the Bible and of God.

I am not saying to change your beliefs or anything; just a reference to the word is all. There are multiple meanings for the word ark, and in this circumstance the acronym for the word ark fits wonderfully to help strengthen our positive vibrational levels, match each other and spread a good word of helping to make Mother Earth a much more positive and healthy place for us all to live.

So why not try this starting today! Do just one act of random kindness at a time and see what happens. See how this can change a person's life, circumstance, situation and see how this fans out. You will not only be helping to change the vibrational level of Mother Earth and bring us all to a more happy loving home, you will also be growing and expanding your own personal spiritual pathway through life!

Love Beyond Words

How do you love beyond words? . This is a hard concept for a lot of people to understand, but when you finally get it, it all makes sense and you see the complete picture. No regrets, and love unconditionally with no strings attached in life.

So many people today take the words "I love you" and use them over and over again to where they have no meaning. How many times have you caught yourself saying "I love you" when walking out the door or at the end of a phone conversation. It comes out so naturally, but how often when this happens do we really mean it, listen to it or really feel it with our souls, not many I bet.

Have you ever had anyone in your life ever show you love in anyway without the use of words? Maybe they did something that no one else did for you just at the right time and you knew they really did love you. Maybe they said something you had been longing to hear but never heard until then, and it wasn't "I love you".

A lot of us do not appreciate the concept of love until it is gone or lost. What most of us do not even see or comprehend a lot of times, or sometimes it is simple as just that we forget, is that we are loved from the Universal Spirit, or your own interpretation of God.

You are loved for who you are. You are loved for your soul. You are loved in every possible way. And you are here also to share your love with others. Not just a simple "I love you" but to go beyond this to where you or the other person becomes this heart swollen love filled embodiment ready to burst with love energy. That is what loving beyond words is!

So next time you see your spouse, child, or friend really mean it from the heart and deep down in your soul when you tell them you love them. When you see the person working a fundraiser for charity, stop and give them your spare change and see how it lights their face up, and know you have spread some love even more. Or when you see the homeless person on a cold night, take them one of your spare blankets and see what kind of changes it makes not only in your own heart and soul but theirs as well. Love beyond words with the whole world and we can change it one random act of kindness at a time.
