The Reluctant Messenger, Chapter 4: Changing Perspectives

April 25, 2014:
We say that if humans would continue to connect with this higher Source and constantly expand their Points of Existence, their hearts would remain open. It is the opening of the heart that is responsible for “ease” in their lives, just as the closing of the heart is responsible for dis-ease.

I had already learned the connection between ease and dis-ease. Repeated blockages (dis-ease) in our energy bodies lay the foundation for disease to manifest. By becoming flow-ers of energy, we could maintain states of ease and equilibrium that would allow a natural flow of life’s energy through us.
The key to maintaining life’s flow is through keeping the heart opened. As we learn to live beyond our limited PoE, heart energy expands. We become part of the field of overlapping PoEs, and we begin to sense universal connections. We realize we are never alone; we are part of everything.
In this state of oneness, as our energy frequencies change to higher vibrations, we attract more of the same. We love, and we feel loved. We see things in a different light, and we appreciate our surroundings more than before because we are an integral part of all that is. We are open and receptive, willing to accept other perspectives as the next section on forgiveness demonstrates.
The above excerpt is from The Reluctant Messenger. This chapter, Changing Perspectives, helped me to understand the importance of stopping, taking a deep breath, then intentionally changing the way I perceive things. 
Years ago I read that pain is part of the human condition, but suffering is an option. How true this is. If we can begin the practice of distancing ourselves from the root of the pain, we can begin to view things from greater perspective. A dear friend of mine, Dr. Laurin Bellg, used to always ask, "What's the lesson? Where's the gift?" whenever she was presented with a challenge. I try to endorse that as my mantra when life seems to throw me a curve ball. To answer the question, I am forced to step out of the role of victim where something unpleasant is happening to me. Instead, I step on a higher path--the path of observer.
Learning to ask about the lesson can be the first step to a brighter future!

March 16, 2018: Morning Meditation at Goddess I Am, Naples, FL, Star Seeds My vision in my mind's eye began a couple of hours before the meditation. I realized this was a "heads up" of what was to come. When I arrived at Goddess I Am, I took a seat and the vision continued before the meditation began. I saw divine sparks falling from the cosmos. These were tiny stars or seeds of light that fell into the waters of Earth. Some were crystal clear, others were pink. As they splashed into the oceans of Mother Earth, they created ripples across Gaia's surface. As each divine spark landed in the waters of emotion, more splashes were created. I then saw a slow-motion video of a rock or stone being dropped in a still body of water. As the stone plummeted beneath the water's surface, drops from the surface were hurled into the air. As the tossed droplets reversed direction and rained on the waters of Earth, the cycle repeated. It was a beautiful sight to ...

Monroe Institute Interview

An Interview with Candice Sanderson by Allyn Evans Like many who attend programs at The Monroe Institute (TMI), Candice  “Candie” Sanderson, author of The Reluctant  Messenger: Tales from Beyond Belief,  discovered it is personal experience that transforms us. After that, we  are no longer defined by other people’s stories. In the comfortable dining room of her beachfront home in Naples, Florida, Candie and I  sat down to discuss her journey as a new author. Her book, which became an Amazon best seller  in its first week of publication, details messages     that she began to receive after attending TMI’s  Lifeline   program. Lifeline,   a weeklong residential program, gives participants the skills and experience to be of service to those still in physical form, as well as others who have transitioned to the nonphysical and who desire assistance. Candie spoke of her experience at   Lifeline : I could not beli...

Opening Blessing for Holistic Fair at Church of Spiritual Light: 05-05-2018 Prior to the opening of the monthly Holistic Fair at Chur ch of   Spiritual   Light, the   practitioners   gathered together   as Reverend Bledsoe led a brief prayer and blessing for the event. As this small group of people held hands, with eyes closed, I felt energy moving from deep inside Mother Earth. It moved from   the bottoms of each person's feet and up through our bodies. As this occurred, I received the following message: This is the energy from our Great Mother, Gaia. She sends this energy from her heart at the center of the Earth. This is the energy of creation, the energy of the formless as it takes shape. It is the energy of intention as it brings forth to manifest in the world of the physical. The energy felt very strong and secure as if we were swaddled in a blanket of protection. In my mind’s eye, our bodies began to change. Each person’s body morphed fr...
