My Magical JourneyCreating a fabulously fantastic life!

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.

Chakra is a Sanskrit word that means “wheel”.  It is the term we use for the primary energy centers in our bodies.  There are 7 major chakras in the body.  Each chakra corresponds to different colors, musical sounds, organs, and physical and emotional issues.  Some people have developed their natural ability to see and experience chakras through their psychic senses.

From the side view, chakras look like cones of light with the point of the cone closest to the spine and the wider part of the cone extending several inches beyond our physical bodies in the front and the back. From the front view, chakras look like Read the rest of this entry »

Everything in the Universe is energy.  We each have an energy field that extends beyond the boundaries of our bodies, commonly referred to as an aura.  Sometimes our auras can become weak or imbalanced due to stress, diet, our thoughts, and other influences.  We have an easy opportunity to cleanse our aura every time we take a shower.  Here’s how to do it:

• Before any psychic activity.
• Anytime you feel scattered, fearful, or out-of-touch with your feelings and your body.
• As a beginning to a longer meditation or visualization exercise.

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.

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 »
