The Angel of Peace: December 2018.    I drove to the Church of Spiritual Light to attend their twice-monthly Crystal Bowl/Reiki service . After miles of slow and sometimes bumper-to-bumper traffic, I arrived at this interfaith, all faith church that had become my home away from home. I nestled into a lounge chair that I made more comfortable with a pillow and blankets from home. As is often the case, visions and messages began prior to the meditation. I opened my journal to document the production playing within my mind’s eye. Delicate sheets of pink threads drifted from above. Except for the color of the filaments, it looked like spun silk from an enormous floating spider’s web. The church’s dimmed lighting pierced the pastel gossamer strands, casting mesmerizing dancing shapes of light on the wall as endless layers sank into the room. I took a deep breath and descended into an exquisite wave of energy that washed over me. The vibrations emanating from the web were unmistakab...

Goddess I Am: 09-07-2018 I arrived early for the meditation. I slipped into the quiet room where the meditation was to begin. As I took a few deep breaths, messages began to flow.  It is all about the ying and yang, the checks and balances, that fine line between trust and fear. Learn to walk your path with the eyes of the heart, for your heart will never lead you astray. Trust that each step on that path takes you in the direction of the divine, even though your physical eyes may not comprehend.  Trust your heart. In my mind’s eye, I saw energy coming up from deep within the core of the Earth. It rose to a focal point in the center of the room. I watched at it broke through the floor, becoming a beautiful fountain of red water, bubbling forth with power and strength. It looked like a beautiful red rose but made of water. This fountain began to get larger, and as it did so, the water began to splash about the entire room. The water was red, representing the co...

Morning Meditation at Goddess I Am: 06-29-18 I walked into the meditation room at Goddess I Am in Naples, Florida about 25 minutes early. I was the first to arrive, so I settled into my chair, planning to relax. But, within seconds, the messages began to flow. Temple. This most divine space is a temple, much as the pyramids of ancient times were built to honor the divine, so is this temple [Goddess I Am]. Just as pyramids were used to teleport consciousness into other dimensional reality, so is this temple. Your physical body, too, is a temple. Its purpose is to house the divine: your spirit, your soul, your essence. You can use the physical temple to move into other realms of existence. Listen! Listen to the quiet that whispers guidance from within. Look not for flashing signs, for they are meant to distract you from your life’s true path. But, instead, look from within. When you pick up a whisper or a thread from Guidance, honor it, follow it, and it will le...

Waiting Room Message: 06-13-18 While in the waiting room of my dermatologist’s office for a procedure, I received the following message: It is all in divine order. Ask and it is given. Go with the flow. Accept perfection in your body, your spirit, your soul, your family, your work, your play, all your circumstances. The true you is immortal. You only inhabit this body temporarily. Look for the bigger picture. Accept the broader view. Although your physical eyes do not have the ability to perceive beyond their limited capabilities, know there is a larger plan—a blueprint that encompasses so much more than what surrounds you in this physical life time. Trust in the greater plan, the divine order. Look for the good. Search for freedom—freedom from negativity, freedom from worry, freedom from pain. Search for experiences that make your heart sing. These can be found in the cool deep breath you take each morning upon rising, the warmth of the sun upon y...

Firefly Within Meditation: 06-11-18 I could hear the rain against the windows and the booms of thunder from the storm outside as I settled into my chair in preparation for the guided meditation. The summer storm seemed to set the stage for the following message: Every place is finding its niche. The rain outside of this meditation space falls from the sky, and where it lands is of great importance. (I had a vision of thousands of individual raindrops and the specific place where each drop landed on the ground.) Much like molecules that have specific receptors that attract other molecules to make a specific compounded element, this dance of the divine is seen all throughout nature, including the rain. There is both a push and a pull, the yin and the yang, as the divine rain falls from Father Sky, obeying the call from Mother Earth. There is a balance and allowing of the divine energy to flow when and where it needs to go. This is the way of healing. Humans receive wh...

Messages from Beyond: How it all Began This is the introduction to my first messages from other-worldly sources. It is an excerpt from The Reluctant Messenger which is scheduled for publishing on July 4th.  "Planning for an average but busy day occupied my mind as I gathered my belongings and headed toward the car one morning. The summer break had ended just a few weeks before, and school was back in full swing. As I exited the garage, I began to mentally prioritize tasks leading up to the back-to-back meetings for the day. Almost on autopilot, I began my fifteen-minute commute. It was dark; the sun would not rise for another forty-five minutes or so. The traffic was usually light this early in the morning, and today was no exception. I had driven about halfway when words that did not seem to come from any conscious thought began to flow through my mind. My purse was in the passenger’s seat. I reached over and brought it closer so I could feel inside for my phone. I wante...

Help from the Angel Realm: May 28, 2015 As part of my extraordinary journey into the unknown, I began having contact with angels. They communicated with me through dreams as well as direct messages. Of all of the messengers, the energy from the angels was breathtaking. They always left me feeling lighter and, more importantly, feeling loved beyond measure. Have you had contact with angels? Feel free to reply below, and let's start a conversation! Below is an excerpt from Chapter 6: Heavenly Help: We came to this one in a dream about the breath of angels, for the energy we put forth is very subtle. It is a lighter, finer energy than a gentle breath, just as a gentle breath is lighter and finer than a whisper, and a whisper is lighter than speaking, and speaking is lighter than shouting. As this one continues to fine-tune her senses and tap into the realm of non-senses, she will be able to discern the differences among us. There are many types of beings within our realm—t...

The Reluctant Messenger,  Chapter 5: Cosmic Contacts "We can feel and sense energy by using nonphysical senses. With that comes the realization that we are much more than our physical bodies. Expanding our abilities to experience the world beyond what our senses measure will cause a shift in consciousness. We will know we are a part of everything; we are not just isolated human beings. If we could see the energy connections with others, would that not change everything? We would see other points of view. We could replace animosity with understanding. Peace would abound." In October 2013, I had a series of messages that addressed using "nonsenses" to experience the world around us. I learned so many lessons from this sage messenger. I learned how our physical senses actually limit our connections to our world. Before that, I always thought we experienced life because of our senses. Now I have a newer understanding.  By expanding our awareness beyond what o...

Excerpt from The Reluctant Messenger, Chapter 5: Cosmic Contacts. This was a vision I received that accompanied a message on May 8, 2015. Question: Was this the past, or was I seeing the future? A silent vision accompanied the message. I saw two magnificent blue-green Earths drift toward each other within the velvety, starless void of deep space. The two Earths met and began to overlap. The movement stopped when they were in perfect alignment that created one magnificent Earth. This new Earth represented more than both blue-green planets combined. I zoomed closer to see the landscape, and as I passed over oceans, lakes, and rivers, crystal-clear waters came into view. I saw breathtaking waterfalls, and I flew close enough to feel their spray as the waters plunged into deep blue pools below. I soared over jungles, deserts, mountains, and plains. Plant and animal life were healthy and abundant. All the colors of this new Earth were brilliant and vibrant. I saw perfection. This new ...

April 2, 2018: Crystal Bowl Reiki Meditation at Church of Spiritual Light, White Wolf It is the stealth and spirit of the white wolf as she silently walks upon the snow-covered earth. I see her large paws that silently create a path in this snowy silence. Her back paws step in the prints created by her front paws, minimizing her trail she leaves in the snow. She is solitary. She is at peace with her surroundings. This is her domain. She raises her head and in the air she catches the scent of prey. She runs in that direction, into a thick copse of pines. She rushes near the base of a tree and furiously digs—her powerful paws and claws tear up the turf in search of the vole that had sought refuge underground at the base of the pine. Her search is successful and she gobbles the vole, temporarily satisfying her hunger. She lives a solitary life, but one filled with introspection. She has learned to take care of herself, and she allows the life force of Earth to come through he...

Forgiveness:  "Many humans are given opportunities for growth on the Earth plane. Many lessons are learned the hard way. If life were easy, fewer lessons would be learned. One of the most valuable lessons to learn is forgiveness." This is from Chapter 4, Changing Perspectives , from The Reluctant Messenger.  So often, we equate "forgiveness" with forgetting. Forgiveness does not mean we should forget what happened, but perhaps we should view it as a stepping stone. Forgiveness is necessary for us to move on with our lives. Without forgiveness, we surround ourselves with the negative energy that festers like a poisoned wound.  Forgive, so that YOU can move on. Forgive, so that you will not be presented with the same lessons again and again. Forgive in order to raise your vibrations to become the shining star that you are! ~Candie
