My Magical JourneyCreating a fabulously fantastic life!

I was almost fast asleep (it’s 12:34AM now) and completely exhausted when I was urged by Spirit to write this article, so I’m going to let my guides take over now to help you learn what your Spirit Guide’s name is.  Okay, they are going to work with me, they said, so I can share some of my stories at the same time.  They just said that helps add character to the article.  Okay, here goes: Read the rest of this entry »

Hello Friends!

I just mailed this month’s newsletter.  I’m especially thrilled with this one because it only took 30 minutes, instead of 3 hours!!!  Why?  Well, I didn’t spend forever adding links to every article I’ve written this month, along with coordinating pictures.  In it, I announce a big website update – much more journal style articles like a blog on the homepage.  This will happen as soon as my tech support (Mark) gets a moment free from creating our newest (and so exciting) website, NoNewPlastic.com.  We’ve decided to not buy any new plastic for an entire year.  In the meantime, we’re learning about plastic, going on discovery trips and interviewing experts, and changing how we live.  We’ve made some cool changes already.

I knew something big was happening last week because I felt angels all around me.  I usually don’t feel angels.  If you’ve been reading articles on the blog, I often refer to my Spirit Guides, but not angels.  I literally felt loving beings of light behind and beside me.  Have you ever been sitting or standing so close to someone that you were almost touching, but not quite?  You know how you can feel them at the tips of the hair on your arms?  That’s what I felt for several days.  I feel that when I’m meditating sometimes, but usually not constantly for several days.  It was really incredible.  I also had a “random” conversation with a man in a store who I felt was delivering a message from an angel to me.  Have you ever had that happen?  There have been so many times when someone has spoken to me and told me exactly what I need to know right then, and I can feel as they are talking that they are relaying a message from my Spirit Guides.  Based on all these signs, I knew something big was coming.  We had some news during those days that could be worrisome in normal circumstances, but I knew that everything was working out perfectly.  Even as my logical mind was freaking out, my Spirit was calm.  One of the insights we got after those few days was to launch NoNewPlastic.com.  Everything came together very smoothly and without brainstorming.  The ideas floated into our minds.  One thing led to another, and four days later we had a website, several articles, and a dedication to a year with no plastic.

To some, it may not seem logical that this website (MyMagicalJourney.com) could focus on psychic abilities, meditation, manifesting a great life, and an eco-friendly lifestyle.  For me, they are all tied together.  I believe everything is one energy.  If we are tapped into our own energy and the energy of the spiritual realm, we are also tapped into the energy of the earth.  The past several years, as I have become even more in touch with my energy and the energy around me, I’ve felt a deep connection to other life forms and the environment.  I feel that the earth is a living energy, and when it’s not treated well, I feel just as if I am not being treated well or someone I love is not being treated well.  When I do things that I know are bad for the environment, I feel like I’m treating myself badly.  To me, putting trash in a landfill, for example, is just like putting a layer of trash under my own skin.  I’m a living energy, and so is the earth.  Plastics have bugged me and confused me for a while now.  I know a lot about them, but there is so much contrary information circulating, which I believe is sometimes intended to keep us in our same old routine of using plastic for everything.  Plastic has many positive uses, but it also lasts forever.  I believe we should treat it like a product that lasts forever, and use it wisely or not at all.  That’s why I’m so excited about doing this project.  I hope you pay a visit to our new blog, and I look forward to hearing your ideas and the ways you are living more eco-friendly as well!

Love,

Melanie

Have you ever felt confused?  Maybe you don’t know which job to take, where to move to, or how to act in a certain situation?  Confusion is a message from our Spirit, letting us know that we’re disconnected.  We have access to all the answers, knowledge, and wisdom when we look within.  Sometimes we just don’t take the time to quiet our minds and listen.  Other times, we just don’t want to listen.  Next time you’re feeling confused, take a moment to get quiet and center yourself.  Then, ask yourself the questions you have and listen for the answer.  Pay attention to how your body feels.  Do you feel good when you think about one option, and not good when you think about the other option?  The message of your Spirit is always to do what brings you joy.

How do you know you’re hearing the message of your Spirit?

• Is it kind?  If it sounds judgemental or annoying, that’s not your Spirit.  Your Spirit is always loving and feels good to hear.
• Is it helping you to follow your bliss?  Your Spirit wants you to feel joy and be happy.
• Is it loving?  Does the message feel loving to you?  When you hear the voice of your Spirit and follow it, you will feel joyful, relieved, and very loved.  You will feel like there’s a loving hand helping you along your magical journey of life.

When we listen to our Spirit, we always know the next step.  When we follow the loving voice of our Spirit, our lives feel joyful and worth living.

What we would like to say is that there are so many wonderful, loving energies here wanting to help you in everything you do.  We are always here.  We are always helping in many ways, but sometimes you don’t recognize us, but that’s okay.  We don’t do it for the recognition.  But know that if you are ever having a difficulty or trouble, or you have a question about something that you want to understand Read the rest of this entry »

Usually after I meditate, I write about what occurred.  A few days ago I had this insight about light and darkness.  As I was writing, my Spirit Guides were standing over me.  After the first few sentences, they continued with their insight on what darkness is.

I really could see myself as a beacon of light, and I know that is the truth.  I know that I am not alone, I am loved and part of the greater whole, which is made of light.  I believe that is all there is.  There is light, and then there is blockage of light, but there is not darkness.  Darkness is just blockage of light, it is not a thing unto itself.  Since light is the source of energy and power, things and people who block light have very weak energy and power.  They must try to use other people’s energy and power to keep them alive.  This is not the best way of getting energy, because nothing is stronger than our own individual connection and realization of the greater source, the light.

Edwene Gaines, a great speaker and author of 4 Spiritual Principles of Prosperity, begins her speeches with, “I am a woman of power.” I love that. The first time I heard her say that, I thought, “Yeah! Me too!” Claiming our power is an essential step toward manifesting the life of your dreams. If you don’t believe you have the power to manifest, how are you going to do it? Read the rest of this entry »

The other night I received a great message through a dream. I was in a valley with tall hills on either side of me. There was a cheetah running on the hillside to my right, and I was scared of it. I thought it was running and going to get me, so I ran toward the hillside on my left. Then I saw more cheetahs running on that hillside too. Then I didn’t know where to run, but I felt fearful. Then the scene stopped, and I got the message that I would get to try the same scenario again with the option of behaving differently. The scene began again—I was in a valley and saw the cheetahs running frantically to my left and right. Even though I thought I should do something or run in case they were after me, I didn’t move. I stood where I was and closed my eyes. I focused on the peace and stillness inside of me. As I focused inward, the world around me faded from my notice and I felt peace. Then I felt a softness on my fingertips. I opened my eyes and the cheetah was standing calmly next to me.

How are you reacting to life?  Are you chasing the things you want fearfully?  Are you frantically searching for answers? Or, are you focusing inward, knowing that everything you need is coming to you?  The energy we send out is the energy we attract.  If you are wanting peace and a feeling of security in your life, it is found by going inward.  All of our needs are provided by the Source of all goodness and beauty.

One of the things my guides have reminded me about many times is to expect what I want. Anytime I’m worried about how things will turn out or what’s going to happen, they ask, “What do you expect?” Read the rest of this entry »

I was meditating the other day and given a beautiful message. I was a dandelion seed floating in the air. You know the part with a seed on one end and white fluff on the other? I was drifting along in the breeze. But I wasn’t floating alone, even though it seemed that way.  I felt and could see with my mind’s eye loving spirit guides watching over me and guiding me along.  The message I got during this was that all things in the world are surrounded with love and looked after, even each seed of a dandelion.

It is okay to surrender and go with the flow with trust and acceptance. Everything is taken care of and watched over and attended to—–even each seed of a dandelion. Read the rest of this entry »

One of the guides I see often is Merlin the Magician. He is very very cool. He’s got sparkling crystal-blue eyes, long gray beard, deep purple hat and cloak with stars and moons on it…the works. His energy is very happy, light, and effervescent; it reminds me of champagne. He helps me with laws of metaphysics, shows me elements of my future, etc. I thought I’d share my most recent lesson with you. Read the rest of this entry »
