Ring Ring.... The Universe is calling....

I had a wonderful email conversation with a gorgeous customer of mine this week and it inspired me to write this post. But you know, I get asked this question so many times and in fact I have been in this position and asked the same question - "When I was doing Reiki, meditating, Healing, talking to the Universe or Angels or the Goddess..... I heard them say something and it wasn't that nice.... what does it mean? Why would they say something like that? How do I know I am talking to the Universe and not something else?"

When we start to open up to 'hearing' voices from Spirit... from Reiki, The Angels and Masters, The Universe etc... we are all looking for a message. We all want our experience and our connection validated. We all want to be heard by these beautiful beings and we want to them to talk back! It is natural. However.....it can sometimes be confusing because we listen for those messages BUT sometimes the voices or things we hear do not come from these higher energies.... sometimes they come from somewhere else and I'm not talking about demons or mean ghosties... sometimes we hear messages from our own fear voice and it can be difficult to tell the difference.

When I first started 'listening' I would often hear mean things. I would hear whispers of scary things to come... insults.... or I'd get advice that felt.... uncomfortable. This developed into seeing images of unpleasant faces. At the time (and I'd be about 13 when this started happening) I was scared. I thought the Universe or God was sending me this awful stuff. I even convinced myself I had demons trying to take over my mind. I was wrong. What I was hearing was my FEAR VOICE. A manifestation of my own insecurities and fears and because I was, at the time rather insecure, well that voice was very powerful.

Over the years as I have grown in confidence and trust, I have come to see that voice for exactly what it is. It acts up because the fear gives it power. In a crazy way, this voice is trying to protect us.... it is trying to keep us safe. But these tactics don't work. It only acts to keep us afraid and small. The more fear we carry, the stronger the fear voice. Mine has been an absolute bitch and even now, if my anxiety is rising, she will try and make an appearance. Her favourite is to tell me the kids are gonna come to harm or that people don't like me.... that what I am doing is wrong. Its scary to hear but the more we listen, the stronger they get. They talk rubbish. They purposely push those buttons within you that they know will cause the most upset. They can even manifest as scary looking faces that appear in your mind.

An Angel, Goddess or the Universe would never tell us things that would make us feel more afraid. NEVER. So it's pretty safe to say that if you hear something unpleasant, you are hearing your own fear voice. Our fear voices are nasty. They don't speak the truth. They are the deepest most afraid parts of ourselves and they feel safe when they feed our fears. It seems to me that folks who deal with anxiety have the loudest and most meanest fear voices.

It is instinctual to react to these voices with more fear and hate. It is natural HOWEVER.... that only feeds them. What they need is love. They are the part of us that is hanging onto past pain, rejection, beliefs about being not good enough. We need to starve them of fear and hate and fill them with love.

When mine comes up, I say something to her like "I hear you.... but I trust in the Universe. I know I don't need to be afraid. I know you are trying to keep me safe.... but this is not the right way to do it. You ARE safe. I love you and you are safe".... She tends to bugger off then. They can get argumentative but just keep up with the reassurance and love and they will lose their power.

A being of the Light would never say anything to harm, hurt or confuse. It would never feel off or uncomfortable. It would feel safe, soothing, beautiful.

A being of the Light would never tell you, you SHOULD do something, even if that something is good! These guys respect our free will way too much to try and persuade us into making a decision.

A being of the Light will make a gentle connection... even the big energies of the darker Goddesses will bring strength and support in a way that doesn't make you afraid. You are more likely to FEEL their presence - to see or sense them before any words are given.

In my experience, behind every fear voice is a whisper of Love that is trying to get through from the Light and if you can keep vibrating love, keep holding thoughts of safety and allow the fear voice to move away, you'll hear or feel that Love that is being constantly poured down on you and into you from your Angels, the Universe, the Goddess, God..... take away your fear voice's power by starving them of more fear and allow the Light to shine through x
