I would just like to know if there is anything the universe or my guides and angels want me to know.
I am on a spiritual journey and I feel I cause delays by secound guessing my own guidance.
There is so much I know I need to do but do not know where to start. Any insight would be
appreciated.
Thank You

The main message here is for you not to rush things, and also that you have expectations on how things 'should' unfold for you in terms of your spiritual development. Try not to comapre yourself to others and their journeys, as each path is different and may have only some common ground, and sometimes none at all, since spiritual awareness means each soul is like an artist who all see the same subject from their own perspective . When you let go of the expectations and learn to 'relax and let it flow' you will find your guidance will become clearer, and you will not have the confusion anymore. Meditation will help you to open up more and put your own thoughts aside enough to allow higher guidance to enter your consciousness. The angels are suggesting you adopt the Tibetan way of meditating - that is to sit quietly and stare at one portion of an object letting your eyes soft-focus, or one point on a wall until you feel yourself expand out from just the awareness of your body.
You need to be a bit disciplined with this, at least until you get more used to entering altered states with just a shift in your energy. You are not breathing properly, and thus there are some blocks in your chakras relating to your intake of Life Force, or Pranic energy. So you need to also practice breathing very deeply through your nose, then hold for a few seconds, then push the air out of your mouth as hard as you can, releasing any negatively charged energy as you do so. Higher or spiritual guidance comes through with a different energy to it from your usual thoughts. It has what I can only describe as a 'buzz' to it, that should energize you, but at the same time it will not feel directly connected to you. Guidance will be in the form of things that seem random and unrelated to your train of thought at the time. Often it is the first thought, word, feeling or impression that flashes through your awareness. Then the logical mind steps in and can interfere with the message. It is just training, experience and discipline that will cause the adjustments you need to become clearer.
Happy journeys.
Shawn,
Just thought I'd do a post script here...
I kept seeing something to do with sports surrounding you. Namely sports where rackets are used. The vision was quite strong. Not sure what the signifigance of that is, but there you go.

Dear Anakya,
I've been dating a young man for a little while (we are both 37) and he has told me that he loves me and says that I am his soul mate and that I have most if not all, of the qualities that he seeks. in a woman. He also says that he loves making love to me. *blushing very deeply* What I'd like to know is if I'm going to marry this man and when?
Thank you so much for your reply and time.
Sincerely,
LadyWhiteWolf
Hello Anakya,
I have been told in the past that I have blocked out a very traumatic experience that happened to me when young. I would like to know what happened and how I can release this block in order to move forward. How can I get insight as to what happened to me and how it affects my life now? Please help.
Thanks,
S.
Hi Saundra and Blessings
How long have you been torturing yourself over this? Firstly, I think whoever told you that is very irresponsible - but that's just my personal view.
There is a reason why the conscious mind blocks certain things. It is a kind of protection because consciously, we are not ready to face or process whatever it is that is blocked. Sometimes for the process of healing it is necessary to 'go back and review' whatever it is that is blocked, and sometimes it is not. A soul can only review things that are blocked through trauma when they are mentally, emotionally and spiritually at a place where they can work through it without it traumatising them further. It must be dealt with very carefully.
I can tell you that the angels say your 'experience' was not as bad as you have imagined, but it is something that has affected your view of yourself and your self-confidence in a big way. It has wounded you on a deeper level, but it has not destroyed you and this should tell you how strong you really are. You need to know that no matter what has happened, you are loved by God and you are a very precious. You have a place in the world and shining your light here has a valuable effect. experiences - both good and bad, are tools that a soul either uses to propel them forward on their journey, or it could be in the form of a limiting challenge, that by overcoming, the soul can become even stronger and more centered in their own light and truth.
You have the choice of going into this further and facing the experience by reviewing it - which can be done, but which I will advise should be done privately. In my case, I'd do this through a private reading, if that was what you felt you needed. However, there is a strong message here that you also need to focus on the present, on right now, and how you life is and where you want it to go. This is very important, and this is why you are facing this in this way right now.
There is a great analogy which comes from my Native American roots and other sources, which I think relates to you strongly in this instance:
In the experience of life, it is as though we as souls, are crossing a great river. There are stones that we may step on to help us get to the other side. The stones are our life experiences, we have the belief that if we slip, or place a foot wrong, we will be swept away in the current - not realizing that the water is only ankle deep and cannot harm us. However, some spirits do not just step on the stones and move on, they pick up each one after they've stepped on it and carry it with them. These stones become their past experiences. In time, the spirit has so many stones they weigh them down, and crossing becomes difficult, if not impossible. Eventually the spirit realizes it cannot move forward carrying all those stones, looks at them and says "why do I have these? They are heavy and do not help me cross this river!. I must release them so I become lighter". The spirit has kept the stones because she thinks they are her identity, but they are not, they are just experiences, so she drops them and is amazed at how easy her crossing becomes. Like this analogy Saundra, it is time to release the burden and realise you don't have to carry it anymore. You can do this by will alone.
It's time to acknowledge that though you have had difficulties, they are not insurmountable and have appeared in your life for a reason - to refine you and make you stronger in yourself. It may not be necessary to delve into that experience, but just to acknowledge that you were once limited by it, but now you make the conscious decision to be free of your past. You have everything you need to move forward and become greater. It lies within your own heart and soul. No-one outside of you dictates what happens to you - you do.
Saundra,
Just as I was thinking on your question, this popped up attached to something else in my email box. I feel it is for you, and it is an affirmation (prayer) you should say in your mind or aloud each morning on waking:
My emotions are valid. I am beautiful and I deserve to pursue, share, and express unconditional love, pleasure, and happiness. I bring new love into the world. I am empowered by love and my gift is beauty in truth.
Thank you Anakya for your time, advice and blessings.
Saundra
I have so many questions I'd like to ask, really, but the main one is this. I have to give you a back story to ask this, and it is very difficult for me to admit all of this, so bear with me. First, let me say that I am married to a wonderful person, who is very supportive and loves me very much. I care for him deeply but there is a part of me that believes that he is NOT my soulmate. I fight this on a daily basis, I really want to love him completely and I feel that it is not fair to him that I can't really give him all of me. I have researched before and to sum it up, it said that I am meant to be alone. I think that is really sad! I'm not someone who feels like they have to be with someone, but I do enjoy having a companion. Also, to make matters worse I had an affair for an entire year with someone. It was over a year ago that I ended it. I ended it because I wanted to try to be in my marriage, I didn't end it because I didn't want the affair anymore. It was one of the most difficult things I have ever done. I feel like I really loved him. Although, I don't think he had feelings for me, I could be wrong, I don't know, and it doesn't matter now. Except that, I can't let go of him. I truly want to and I have prayed and prayed to let him go, to move on. I have also prayed for the strength to be a better person. So my question is, what are the necessary tools for me to move on, what am I missing?
Many Blessings,
Amy
Blessings Amy,
There are a few different layers to your question, and therefore different layers to the solution as well. Your lessons about love are incomplete, and this life is an opportunity for you to complete that experience. But it is not just about loving other people. Involved in that is the hardest lesson of all, and the most difficult thing to master - love of yourself. Being with a 'soul mate' is not the greatest acheivement that a soul can accomplish!. It is only one possible experience among a vast selection of possibilities for growth. Every relationship teaches you things about yourself, regardless of whether it fits your ideals or not. That is the 'spiritual purpose' of relationships - to teach you more about who you really are.
There needs to be some careful self-evaluation on your part, and you need to also determine what it is that you want from your life. There is a great restlessness and turmoil within you which makes you likened to a piece of seaweed that is tossed about on the tide. You go from one berth to another, seeking to attach yourself to something that will give you a sense of completion. That is how we (the angels) perceive your journey at this time.
You need to ascertain what you desire to make of this experience. In order to gain clarity on your life and situation, you need to first look at where you have been, and the patterns that are present in your life. For instance: where is it in your earlier life that you came to believe that you are not of value and that you are undeserving of fulfilling relationships? What was the situation that caused you to adopt the belief that you must find your worth and identity through others - even if those relationships were not suitable or in accordance with your greater good? Who or what taught you these things, and is that really the way you want to see yourself?
You have 'settled for second best' and this reflects a sense of lack of worth within yourself. Even though you say you do not need to be with someone, we see the opposite in you. When we say "find your worth and identity through others" we mean that you do not know who you are, so you seek to discover this and gain strength by attaching yourself to anyone who shows care of you and gives you attention. This is not a healthy 'need' because it grows from the root of neglect.
You are correct in your summing up of your lover's feelings. His was not a depth of feeling that you wanted, and he has since moved on.
Here is an exercise which will help you:
Light one pink candle outside or near an open window. Cut three small pieces of paper, big enough to write a small message on.
On the first piece of paper write: "I release my past relationships with love. I am willing to open my heart to bring more love into my life".
Fold this paper up so the words don't show, and burn it in the flame of the candle (it is best to hold it in a pair of tongs, not your fingers!). As the smoke drifts out and away, visualize this smoke as holding all the negative emotions you have held onto from your past relationships - including the relationship with your parents.
On the second piece of paper, write: " I release (name of your ex-lover) with love. I am now ready to attract to me only those who will love, honour and value me"
Fold and burn this the same as you did the first. Visualize that you are releasing the negative and long-held emotion from your relationship in the smoke. Feel the cord of energy that comes from your heart to his finally breaking and drifting away.
On the third and last piece of paper, write: "I forgive myself for the mistakes I have made with my choices. I am complete and I am willing to go forward on my path with confidence"
This will be folded and burnt as the other two were. However, before you can burn it, you must be able to pull up the feeling of forgiveness that is aimed at yourself. Notice any resistence you feel, and persist past those barriers. You must be able to direct this feeling inward with a loving and nurturing intention - and not a critical or judgemental one.
Blessings to you, Anakya,
Thank you so much for your time and your guidance. I have struggled with this, obviously, for a long time. I have made steps lately to turn my life around, i.e. starting college, but there is always that sense of not having fulfillment. I will continue to work on it though! Thank you again for your suggestions which I will definitely do!
Anakya:
You answered a question for me a couple of months ago. Below is your answer:
“Blessings Traci:
Well, firstly I can confirm that this man IS one of your soulmates, so all of the signs you have been given by the universe, your Guides, and the angels is absolutely true. He is one with whom there is a deep bond on a spiritual level too - which has involved you both meeting up in the astral when you have been travelling out of body - hence your 'memories' and dreams of him are quite real, for you have actually been meeting up in the astral. Have faith that you are indeed being 'guided' towards the things in your life that are right, and would be fulfilling for you. The timing is good for you to actively seek out this man, and make contact with him.
Incidentally, you had an out of body experience during the surgery in which you spent some time with your guardian angel, and reviewed this life. You had to decide whether you would come back or not, and when you 'saw' that you would meet up with this man again, you wanted to be part of your earthly life again. It wasn't time for you to pass, either. There are some other things that will come to light about that experience too - with your intuitive and clairvoyant ability being heightened since the event.”
Things had been moving along nicely. We’ve been emailing back and forth (as he currently lives in Mexico). Then, yesterday I saw his sister’s myspace page and there was a picture of him with a girlfriend. It seems like he’s nowhere near where I am in this journey of realizing we’re meant to be together. In all fairness, I don’t know when this picture is from. But it just devastated me. It took a lot for me to open up to love again - - especially with him (as he hurt me so deeply in the past).
I feel absolutely devastated. This has gotten my questioning whether I ever received any signs from above or if I just read too much into things. I FEEL FOOLISH.
Please Anakya – HELP ME.
All I've ever wanted in my life was to find my true love, get married and have babies - raise a family. I REALLY THOUGHT MY LIFE WAS TURNING AROUND THIS TIME. I THOUGHT IT WAS “MY TURN” TO FIND MY LOVE, GET MARRIED, HAVE A FAMILY. I REALLY BELIEVED A GOT A SECOND CHANCE WITH BRYAN. I’M WONDERING NOW IF I’VE BEEN MISTAKEN ABOUT THIS WHOLE THING WITH BRYAN. AM I A FOOL TO THINK THINGS COULD HAPPEN FOR ME WITH HIM? AM I ON THE RIGHT PATH OR AM I JUST GOING TO GET HURT AGAIN? NOW I FEEL MISLEAD BY THE SIGNS I "FEEL" I RECEIVED. WHY DO I ALWAYS HAVE TO HURT? LAST YEAR AT THIS TIME, I WAS FINE – WANTING TO FIND A MAN TO SPEND MY LIFE WITH. NOW SINCE MY SURGERY, I’M COMPLETELY ATTACHED TO BRYAN AGAIN. WHY?
I FEEL LIKE I'M DYING. I JUST WANT TO LEAVE THIS PAIN BEHIND AND BE WITH GOD. I'M SO TIRED.
PLEASE HELP ME.
Traci
Traci. UR words pull at my heart and reveal the distress U feel about life and love at this moment. Please remember that it IS, just that -> a "moment"...in UR life & time! This 2 shall pass, as many events do...within TIME.
Anakya can't help U and nor can any other "external" force, because of the vast differences in perception & interpretations. Yes, U can read the "signs" wrong, or miss the "significant" clues. Overanalysis will only CONFUSE U further. Go with UR GUT>!
The change and enlightened path U need 2 follow, MUST come from WITHIN. Get 2 the deepest part of UR "self", that is only reached by thinking with UR "Heart" more so than UR "Mind". True peace can only come when U R able 2 achieve a "peaceful" mind, a "loving" heart and a "free" spirit. This exhaulted state takes patience, truth, acceptance and unconditional love. Fear not, Traci -> the anguish UR feeling today will give U the creative drive 2 make the changes that the Universe is bestowing upon U right now. FEEL the fear and DO IT anyway, is the message U need 2 hear.
Traci, U have 2 find the VALUE in Urself...by URSELF. Don't wait 4 "external" affirmations, U have 2 LOVE U, B 4 others can, so START now. Learn 2 "breathe" deep, from the diaphram -> cleansing breathes bring healing Oxygen into UR body; study Yoga or Pilates. U got 2 release the "metabolic stressors" in UR life and "mobility" is the best way! Dance, swim...just MOVE, not just 2 lose weight or look good, but 2 HEAL THE MIND and get proactive with matters of the heart. In summary, I want U 2 know that I am a 3rd generation, cartomancy reader with 15 plus years of experience. I use the cards to supplement my "clairvoyant" gift, but REAL TIME energy is what truly "fuels" my visions, NOT just an exchange of pretty, well phrased "fonts". Any reading is best done with "current" energy flows, btw reader & subject. I like 2 help my Mystic friends here in the LIVE CHAT, doing 1 on 1, cartomancy readings, using the PRIVATE message feature. This promotes clarity and a "mutual" interpretation of signs.
All my readings R free, but only available btw 11:30pm - 2:30am, EST.(Toronto, ON time zone). U can book in advance through Starrider (Mystic member) or myself, ifwhen available. I have NO set time per subject, length is determined on an "as needed" basis, but as a rule, I don't go over 45 mins. I would be pleased 2 help U navigate through this dark period in UR life, so that U can eventually get there!! 2 UR proper destiny, 2 the TRUE Soul mate, that U have YET 2 meet. The cards suggest....2008 is the year of "pure" love 4 U, but only if U R prepared 2 recieve the Universal message and learn 2....TRUST in God.
Console Urself Traci, this IS the "darkest" hour...B 4 the dawn. Keep UR eye on the "horizon" and B amazed....!!!
Love & light....
Spirit
Hi Traci
Sorry about the delay in getting back to you, but there is a time difference due to me being in the Pacific region.
I know that 'Spirit' has responded to you here, and hopefully you have been able to get some guidance through her as per her offer.
I am sorry to hear of your 'discovery' and that you are in pain.
What was channelled to you was absolutely true, this man "is ONE of you soul mates" - as the information said. Some people have more than one connection like this, and you are one of them. What you have done here is 'put all your eggs in one basket' and based your whole vision of your future on ONE POSSIBILITY, thinking this would complete you. I can tell you that even wonderful soul-mate relationships will not do that. Growth and completion on all levels is an inner process, and wanting an external relationship with someone to make us feel happy and complete is just a way of externalizing our relationship with God/the Universe. There is only one way to find such completion, and a sense of 'union' and 'oneness' and that is through finding peace and wholeness within our own beings. The whole point of any of us being incarnate on earth is so that we can find our way back to God (that sense of being one with all things) WHILE STILL IN OUR BODIES. That is what we are designed to do, and it is a Divine Plan.
When people ask things like: "am I going to be with so-and-so" you can only be given an answer that is the HIGHEST PROBABILITY at the time of asking the question. Things change because people change, and because of Free Will and their right to make their own choices in their life direction. That does not mean anyone has told you an untruth, or that God or the Universe has betrayed you. That would never happen. You can only feel dissapointment if you held expectations of something being a certain way - you will learn that to do that is to limit yourself to much and close yourself off to 'other' possibilities that may present themselves. That is one of the things you are learning - hard lesson though it may be.
You want happiness and completion, but you must examine your intention for this. You are being asked to find strength within and to know that you are ALREADY COMPLETE. Anyone that comes into your life and shares it simply affrims that fact and reflects it back to you. A relationship should enhance who you already are, not give you a meaning for living or an identity. This too is a part of your lessons at present. Not lessons that some external force has set, but lessons your own soul is creating so that you can grow beyond your limits.
Things are not always going to be hard or painful like this. This is just one chapter, one rung on the ladder, and you can and will move beyond it. Every connection we make with other people - whether acknowledged or not - is always teaching us more about ourselves. When you come across the likes of soul mates and twin flames in your existence, this does not always mean that you will be 'together'. Sometimes it is just that - a means by which we learn something about ourselves which we would not have discovered otherwise.
Indeed, a lot of those kind of relationships (if we end up having them) are very challenging because that person is such a good 'mirror' for us because of the bond and similarities we share with that person. We see all the things in them we don't like about ourselves, as well as the good stuff. That is extremely confrontational, and you really need to be at a fairly strong place in your personal growth to handle it constructively. That is just speaking from my own experience.
My feeling is that you have been presented with this man so that you can heal the hurt from the past by letting him go this time. You've been holding onto these emotions regarding him for such a long time, and now it's time to do something else and move on.
But as Spirit has said - you have to discover these truths for yourself, and such trust and faith can only come from within you, and from your own experiences. No external force dictates your life or controls it - you do. Only you can make this into something great that leads you onto even better things and relationships too. Doing the exercises she has suggested will definitely help you find balance and focus and also channel some of that energy you are currently using to fuel your emotions. It will help you to feel less tired and 'soul weary' and give you other things to concentrate on.
I believe you are doing what is called 'dying the Shaman's death' which means that this is a death of the old, outmoded beliefs and feelings that have held you back, and a rebirth into a whole new you. It is a symbolic rebirth. This is very powerful and though it may not seem like it right now, it is very constructive and positive. You will come to a place where you can look back and see that, but not yet.
Traci, you don't have to 'go anywhere' to be with God, you are already with Him and always have been. God is not outside of you, but lives in the light of your soul. That too is a truth that you must 'feel' for yourself, and it will give you strength.
You are not a fool, and things are not hopeless. There are just some discoveries you need to make before the road will become smoother again. Delve deep into the spiritual knowledge that you have awakened when you had your near death experience, for this is when it will become useful to you and help you a great deal.
