How can I strengthen my channel of communication?

0 comments Posted by Sara Wiseman on 04/4/2010 at 2:30pm


Question: Hi Sara, I'm really looking forward to the upcoming Mind Body Spirit Expo. Until then, the question I have is about strengthening the channel of communication between myself and divine guidance. When I focus in meditation, prayer, or intention and ask for guidance, I can "hear" the guidance, or when I do journey work, I can "see and hear" the guidance. Sometimes I feel unsure about how much of the message is from me or from divine guidance. I also wonder how to make the connection stronger and how to continue the conversation for a longer time. Should I ask more specific questions or for signs in my daily life? Thank you so much for your work! Many blessings, A

Answer: Hi A. First, I'm just thrilled with the level of attention you have given to your meditation and prayer practice. It can be difficult to create space for this, and truly, it is the first and most important step to being able to clearly receive Divine guidance. People often ask me "how do I know it's Divine, and not my own voice." My only response is, go into that Divine space often enough, and eventually, you just start to know. It's as if your vibration raises with every encounter with the Divine. After a while, you are steeped in it—the communication keeps opening and opening, and you just find it very easy to discern which is which. I don't think continuing the conversation for a LONGER time is that important. It is more important to have regular connection, daily or more than daily if you can. But the way the human brain is set up, you can get plenty of Divine guidance just from 10 or 15 minutes of meditation. Other practices, where you are meditating for four hours or whatever, are useful for different things. But to simply connect with the Divine guidance, that kind of intensity isn't required.

It would be fun for you to try some new things aside from meditation, such as: ask for Divine guidance while doing something completely normal, such as getting coffee, or talking a walk, or being in nature, or napping, or at a concert, or just being out and about with other people. Divine guidance is available at all times, not just in meditation/trance.

The more you can rest and relax in your own life, and do practices that are "opening" such as music, dance, nature, yoga, etc... these things help to open and raise vibration, which helps receiving.

Also, after a certain point if you are following Guidance all the time, and living a life in Flow to what is presented, you won't receive Guidance as often or as clearly—that's basically because you're on the right track, and don't need the urgency of the message in the same way. This is a good thing! SARA

An example of how manifesting works...

Q. Hi Sara: I've been to two of your workshops, which I always enjoy. The last one was at Spirit Feathers in Portland and it was about manifesting. I've been trying to get in touch with my guides to get a clearer vision of what I should be doing. You suggested to me that I contact them through writing, so I did. I thought when I would sit down nothing would come to me, but boy I was wrong!

I wanted to make sure it wasn't my ego talking so I asked my guidance for a sign that it was them. I asked if they would send me a random check in the mail, any amount it didn't matter, I'd be grateful. Well, that week I got two tips at work. I was surprised and then remembered, maybe that was my guidance sending me a sign in another way. At the end of the week, I got a check in the mail, totally random. They really wanted to confirm to me that they are guiding me and I need to continue to trust. Thank you for your advice. I enjoying writing with them & need to do it more often so they become clearer in my everyday life! I'm looking forward to taking another one of  your workshops.—A.

A. Hi A! Thanks for sharing your experience. You are exactly on the right track of continuing to ask (in writing or simply in meditation or prayer) and then watching actively for signs and symbols. Money is a great way to have confirmation, isn't it! Once you get used to paying attention, you'll begin to notice tens, even hundreds of Divine synchronicities in action, every single day.—SARA

How do you receive direction that can give a person an understandable answer?

0 comments Posted by Sara Wiseman on 02/18/2010 at 3:15pm

Q. Thank you for reading my question. I am amidst change, and have been for 3 years. Having gone to several intuitives, I haven't found a person who can say, "Yes, you will be a healer, you will get a job as a such and such, you will..." I want direction. How do you receive direction that can give a person an understandable answer? Thank You, S.

A. Hi S. Every intuitive works differently, but a good reader should be able to give you a clear picture of what your Next Best Step is on your life path. Or, if you're not very far along on your life's path yet (if you have a lot of clearing and cleaning up to do from the past or the present) they should be able to tell you what is the Next Best Step you need to take to get this clearing and cleaning done. It's all about soul growth; that's what's we're here for.

I receive a lot of different ways (clairvoyance, clairaudience, channeled writing, deep knowing, a time line of what will happen when) and this overlap provides a pretty clear picture. When I see the same thing arriving in more than one way, I know I'm receiving strongly.—SARA

Is a straight back required for meditating?

0 comments Posted by Sara Wiseman on 02/18/2010 at 2:30pm

Q. Is a straight back required for meditating? Last week I was "led" to your book literally as I am an author myself and working on a new book. I am enjoying your book very much. It is just what I need for what I am working on spiritually and through my writing. My question is sometimes when I meditate, I start to slump as I get deeper into it. Is it necessary to keep a straight back the whole time? —C

A. No, it' s not necessary to keep your back straight for any length of time while meditating. In fact, it's just as useful to to meditate in a chair, on the sofa, or even in bed before sleeping. In eastern traditions, a straight back is said to keep energy flowing, and I agree this is useful. But if this is something your body can't do easily right now—then do what makes your body comfortable. About the slumping—as you go deeper into trance, it is very likely your body will slump forward or sideways. Don't panic! If you find yourself feeling "trapped" in a slump, simply say in your mind, "I'd like a lighter state of trance now," and you'll soon notice that the level of trance will decrease. You have complete control over how "deep" you do or don't go, when working this way.

Do I need to be healed before I can help others?

Q. Do I need to be "healed" before I can help others? Hi Sara; I am so glad to know that you're a local psychic here in Salem. My question is what is the most "assured" way to eliminate - or at least lesson - negative blocks?—My intention is becoming a metaphysical healer myself, but i think before that is possible *I* need to be healed and be a very positive person who radiates love myself.—S

A. Be easy on yourself. Soul growth is a long process, and I can assure you that I will not complete my Lessons in the allotted time!!!!! The more you love other people, the more you are healed, and the more you heal. Don't worry too much about all the things that are "wrong" with you, or that require healing. When you are with a person and you are providing support to them, simply open your heart with compassion and love. Do what you can. So much of it is allowing the person to see that we are all One: you, them, all of Us. Do what you can, and keep learning. There is no special crystal required, no special process. It's all Love and knowing we are One. —SARA
