They Can't Take it Away

Spiritual practice can be a wonderful thing. 

It can bring people together for a common purpose and strengthen the resolve and inspire all those in attendance. 

Many of you have found practices that give you a sense of belonging and pleasure. That is good. For you.

It might not evoke the same feelings in another. 

You will not pull yourself closer to the Divine by demanding that others join you in your practice. If your practice suits you, then you have no need to involve others. 

If you feel that your spiritual experience is ruined when others are not forced to witness it or join in, then your beliefs and faith are weak.

No one can sever your link with the Divine, except you.

If you feel that all around you must believe as you do, you are living in fear and looking for safety in numbers. 

As with anything else, when you look outside yourself, you will never find what you seek. 

If you believe in your spiritual practice, then practice. Let others join in o not as they see fit. They cannot change or destroy your relationship with the Divine. 

Group thinking can bring about positive change, but it can also perpetuate and strengthen prejudice and fear.

If you feel the need for spiritual connection, talk to the Divine, to your guides, ascended masters and angels. We of the Fae realm would appreciate a positive connection as well. 

If someone asks about your practice then share if you like. Just don't demand that they listen. 

The ultimate cosmic bit of humor, is that you are all headed to the same place. You can drive, walk, sail, or ride a bike to get there. No mode of transportation is wrong, as long as you don't force others to get into your car. 

Kidnapping is not a spiritual practice. Any ransom you get is not worth the karmic debt you will incur. 

Enjoy your spiritual life. Opt for the private session rather than being a member of the audience.

It is much more valuable and it is free of charge. ~Silas

Don't Be Afraid to Ask

When spiritual artists create portraits of angels, fairies and guides, they are usually shown, being helpful, rescuing and giving words of comfort.

Nothing would make them happier than this, yet too often it does not happen until it is too late.

More than likely, if these artists painted your spiritual helpers as they spend most of their time, you would see them wringing their hands and shaking their heads with disappointment.

Your silly belief systems have convinced you that only those with special abilities and talents have the right to speak to these beings. 

It is actually those of you who have the least (or so you believe) aptitude for psychic vision and communication that these guides wish to contact. 

You do not need to hear a voice in your head, or see an angel or fairy in front of you to receive guidance and help. 

Know your question or problem. Ask it. Then sit in silence. You may get an answer, a word, a vision or idea. You may see a physical sign. 

Take a breath. Focus on your heart and take the action you feel guided to take. 

Even mistakes lead you further down the path. Don't get frustrated if you seem to misunderstand what your guides are telling you. 

It is like learning a foreign language. You cannot do it in one day. Talk to your guides daily. Ask for little things to practice this communication. 

Do not assume that no one is listening because your dreams have not yet been realized. 

Your requests are always answered. In most cases, the one who is not listening is you.

Leaving Behind to Move Forward

There are times when a relationship has, simply, run its course. People come together for a reason.

Sometimes they continue to grow and learn together. These are the relationships that last.

Two people often come together to meet and fulfill a need, or explore a common interest. As long as the need is present or both still have the same interest, the relationship will continue.

Letting go of a relationship doesn’t make you a bad person. You are not meant to stand still or wait for others to catch up.

You may not be ready to go down the path another is going. Respect yourself. You may need more time or you may need to take another path.

It is natural for some people to drift out of your life. It doesn’t have to be an ugly thing. As you release past relationships with love, new ones will drift into your life. 

If a relationship ends badly, then let it go. Do not exhaust yourself trying to make it work.

Good relationships require work, compromise and understanding, but one party should not have to do all the work.

 

If all efforts to remedy the relationship have failed, then it might have evolved beyond its usefulness and must be released.

The decision is always personal, but when a relationship is only causing grief and stress then have no guilt about letting it go.

You free yourself and allow the other party the responsibility of taking charge of their own life. That is a difficult gift for some to accept, but it brings power and strength and will ultimately take the person to a better place.

Letting go is not abandonment, but release. 

Sometimes you will find yourself released by another. Do not try to follow, they will return at an appropriate time if it is meant to happen. If it is not, then you are better off.

Give yourself the gift of release, assured in the knowledge that you are all that you need, and other companions will follow in time.

Some relationships last a lifetime, others are fleeting. They all happen for a reason. A long relationship is not better than a short one. It is only shorter. A painful relationship can be a life-changing lesson.

Your relationship with Spirit will never abandon you. Even in the absence of all companionship fairies, angels and spirit guides hover about you sending you love and encouragement. 

You are never alone. ~Silas

The Healing Journey

Healing is a process.

When you are healing, whether it be from a physical wound, an emotional pain or spiritual attack, it takes time.

As you heal, you gain new tools, new strengths and new knowledge. 

A physical injury might keep you off your feet long enough to write something amazing, paint a beautiful portrait or learn something entirely new.

As you heal, you take these gifts with you.

Sometimes learning a truth about a past situation will cause you to emotionally revisit it and look at it with new eyes.

You will find that you can more easily forgive yourself when you know the truth of the matter. Then true and lasting healing can occur. 

Many times when you think a situation is resolved, it will come back. It will cause you grief and pain. This is the nature of the healing process.

A physical wound will sometimes get sore and itch. It will need to be cleaned and retreated for complete healing. 

If you broke a leg, you would not remain in the cast forever. You would go back to the doctor, have another x-ray, and if the bone is not set properly, you have that fixed.

It is the same with an emotional wound. It is not a one-time process. You need to check in, make adjustments, re-treat the injury and rest. Not as a wounded person, but as one who is healing.

It’s okay to feel pain. Treat your pain. Be gentle with yourself, then each time, move on a little bit more. 

Revisiting a past injury does not make you weak. It shows that you are moving forward rather than repressing your pain. 

You may go for months without feeling this pain again, or it may be only hours. It depends on your situation and where you are in your healing process.

Recognize the pain, feel it, find a way to express it whether through tears, physical exercise, a creative outlet or conversation with a friend or loved one.

Then let go and move up another notch. 

You have free will and you are more than welcome to stay in your pain and even move backwards, but why would you do that?

Welcome the tears, allow the grief, but let them be solicitors at your front door and not house guests.

Your body, mind and spirit are a sacred holy temple. Do not entertain demons there. 

Be a polite host. Greet them at the door. Recognize them and learn about them, then say, “Thank you, but I’m not interested,” and close the door.

If they persist or are aggressive and rude, then call the “police” in the form of Spirit or your guides and angels. Allow your invisible bouncers to escort them off your property.

Healing is a journey and it may be a long one, but pain is never the final destination.

You climb a mountain one step at a time. Some days you will run, others you will limp and occasionally you will rest. 

Just don’t end the journey in the middle. Walk slowly if you must, but continue your ascent. The view from the top will take your breath away. ~Silas.
