Dear All,
I've been meaning to post this for some time
I am referring to that stage in your development where nothing seems to work anymore... Despite the fact that previously you could commune with your guides and Angels at will, you were enjoying profound meditations and you just seemed to soar like an Eagle. Everything you touched, said or did was a success...
Now you just feel like you've been cut off by the source. Your meditations no longer work or have any meaning. You feel like your power has been taken from you, and your left wondering how on earth your going to summon the strength and motivation to continue...
We as humans go through the same process of growth and seasons that are observed in nature...
SPRING.
Is one of my favourite times of the year. You can just feel the excitement and promise of new growth in the air. There is something so deliciously tantalizing for me about this period...
SUMMER.
This is a fulfillment of dreams and potential. As long as you nurture yourself and support your growth by the appropriate means. You will surely open and begin to flower...
AUTUMN.
Summer inevitabley leads on to the Autumn. The leaves begin to drop from the trees and your hard won growth and power seems to be deserting you, ever so subtly at first, until.........
WINTER.
By now you feel thoroughly in darkness, confused and alone. All of your efforts seemed to have been in vein. The summer is now a distant memory and you wonder if any of it was in fact real, or just a product of your imagination...
Does this sound familiar to anyone??
I have just come out of the other side of what I refer to as a spiritual winter. It's been a long cold one at that. There have been many times during this period where I have felt like giving up. There have been others where I've felt like a total fake on these boards. My biggest anxiety was that somebody would say:" Right, you talk a good medium, now prove it."
I would have been about as psychic as a bowl of custard.......
It reminds me of when I was guided to go to Swansea earlier in the year to do a course at Stephen O' Brien's psychic academy....
It was one of those rare events when my guide was able to talk to me during this aforementioned spiritual winter (it lasted about 5 mths, by the way) He was suggesting/advising that I attend this course. ( the only time spirit really get involved with my life is where my mediumship development is concerned)
In sharing my anxiety's with my guide, I explained that I was concerned that I wouldn't be able to give a message if I attended this course. As my guide knows me inside out. He knew full well that if I was to be told that I would still be shut down at this point, then I wouldn't have traveled all that way.
So he was, shall we say, economical with the truth. LOL
As the time drew nearer, I was still about as psychic as a soggy lettuce, although my new guide did make a brief appearance that week, as I've written about elsewhere.
Long story short. I completed the course, after being put in with the beginners. I was angry at first and felt let down by spirit. I do now view the whole situation differently. Now that the dust has settled I realize that I was there for knowledge and understanding. It was matter less that I wasn't able to perform as a medium, as I know I can. I learned soooo much during my time there, including platform presentation, working in public and a few tricks of the trade (so to speak). In the final analysis, it was just my pride that was hurt... I wouldn't change that experience for the world, and I did overcome my fear of speaking in public, to an extent.
Anyway, I just wanted to get across the importance of keeping the faith during these times. Never give up on spirit, for they truly are the magic beneath your wings... I'm delighted to report that my mediumship is back now more reliable and fluent than before, and I value it so much more than I ever did.
There is a reason for everything... The mighty oak tree didn't always stand tall, proud, strong and magnificent. It was once no more than a sapling that had to be supported from the strong winds. So it is with our growth.........
Love Danny

we all worry about our abilities. I know that at times I've doubted my abilities with Reiki, but I don't anymore ;D
