Trusting What You Receive...

When I'm teaching Spiritual Development I have to keep reminding my students to accept what is being given to them by Spirit without question. Most of them feel at the best of times that they are just imagining it or it's them that's giving them the message. I too, had to learn in the early days of my study that what I was receiving was not my own. It's the most difficult of all the lessons in developing your intuition. Sometimes the voice within your head will be your own and that's when you question the thought or the comment being given. But, it's still mental mediumship. You all have it.....if you think about it. The thoughts that come and go...sometimes surprising in nature. Haven't you had something come out of your mouth almost instantly without having thought it and the other person is wowed by your comment? I'm sure you have.....

Try this.....get a group of you together and each bring a piece of jewelry that either belongs to you or was given or left to you. Take one of the pieces and pass it around...everyone holding it for a few minutes and saying whatever comes to them in their minds while holding it. It could be something very simple or very stupid but just say it out loud. You never know what might be revealed to be correct so just keep your mouth running. Some questions you might want to ask yourself while holding the jewelry are: "Is the person who owned this alive or dead?" Then quickly go with the first response that you received. "Was it given to them or did they purchase it?" and again go with the first response. "Give me a name or letter of the person who owned this" and again go with the very first feeling or knowing in your mind. Keep asking.....I find that I won't get anything else from Spirit until I voice what I received. So if you're stuck for information while holding it....just keep talking. It moves the energy along.

Sometimes in circle I will give information that the person receiving it looks at me strangely or says "no", I continue because I have found that Spirit knows what it's saying and in most cases the person is in denial or shut off from hearing the information. I tell them to take it home with them and ponder it. If I start telling Spirit "no, you're wrong"...I get nothing else.

Trust for me has been the biggest hurdle in what I do. I wasn't raised to trust anyone. But in my work I have to....if I gave someone a message like "Well...I think you might...." I don't think anyone would accept what I was giving. Do you?

I HAVE to trust that what I'm getting is correct. It's the hardest thing for my students to grasp...and some never do but then there are some who start to shine and I inwardly smile "Yes!" she's listening!!! It's a great feeling.
