Talking to Your Spiritual Partners

As an empowerment coach, I’m often called upon to guide my clients on how to manifest something in their lives. It might be a better job, a life partner, or some money. Whatever the desire to manifest, there are four basic steps I’ll be discussing in the next few newsletters. I’ll explain each of those steps, and the common blocks, along with suggestions for how to resolve those blocks.

A word of warning. You may have read some of the thousands of articles about how to manifest. And you may have spent a great deal of money on those resources and yet still have difficulty manifesting. What I am writing about here is a guide with the general steps because you must discover your own way that resonates with you and with your concept of spirit. This approach doesn’t cost you anything but time and practice.

I refer to my spiritual partners as angels and guides. Not everyone is comfortable with those terms, and if you are one of them, come up with your own term that represents spirit in your life. I refer to my angels and guides as my partners because we work together towards common goals.

Everyone has their own spiritual partners, and it’s important to acknowledge them. Especially if you aren’t sure that you have spiritual partners, you should begin your own form of communicating with them so that they can show themselves to you and make their presence known.

When I was a little girl, I used to talk to God frequently because that was the only name, or entity, that I was introduced to. Although the talking was usually about getting me out of trouble, or keeping me from getting caught, I felt like I was making a connection. From a fairly young age I looked for a friend in spirit, rather than the Biblical frightening know-all guy in the sky who would call for awful things to happen if anyone didn’t do exactly as he commanded.

Finally, when I was still a fairly young adult, I was introduced to the world of non-religious spiritual belief. As I just wrote this, I almost used the term, non-traditional rather than non-religious, but this belief that we work with the spirits is a tradition as old as humanity. Working with spiritual partners is personal, beautiful, and magical.

How do you know that your spiritual partners hear you? It’s when everything seems to flow. You are being heard and in sync with your partners when there are coincidences, like thinking about a friend and that friend calls you or you run into them right away.

Two of the most common questions I’m asked as a coach are, “How can I communicate with my angels and guides?” and “How do I know if they hear me?”

I believe that almost any approach works, and if you just start you will probably find your way. I believe that your spiritual partners are here for no other reason than to guide you, help you, and reward you in your lifetime. If you ignore your guides, or are afraid to call on them, they will do the best they can, but it makes their job much more difficult. Like any partnership, it’s important to communicate well, rather than having to guess what the other wants. You are the leader in this partnership. You are the one who says what is wanted; your guides deal with the how to get it for you.

Many of my clients are surprised when they discover what a sense of joy they find when they’ve accepted that they’re being heard and responded to by their spiritual partners. The communication may come in a dream, or an answer that just comes to them. It may come with a strong sense to take an action and not understanding why, and then realizing it’s the correct next step.

The feeling of being heard can be so powerful, and joyful, that your life feels more complete and secure because you know you will never be truly alone.

Funwork: Remember, this is the first step in manifesting and is critical in setting you up for success. Talk to your spiritual partners often in the course of the day. For example, when I get in the car, I try to always say, “wrapped in silver and protected.” Below are some other suggestions, but don’t limit yourself. Maybe ask your spiritual partners how they want to communicate.

  1. Greet them in the morning, and thank them for being in your life.
  2. Ask them to show you a sign that they are with you.
  3. Meditate.
  4. Pick an oracle after asking a question.
  5. Create a vision board, asking them to guide you.

Listen for a response, not just with your ears, but with your heart. Play with them. Feel free to share your experiences with me. Perhaps, with your permission, I’ll add your experience to my next newsletter.

Feel free to share this article with friends. The next newsletter will address the next step in manifesting.

Empowerment For Singles During Valentines

February is often thought to be a time for romance because of Valentine’s Day. I’ve been pleased that in the last several years many single people have gotten together to celebrate being single, which can be the most empowering state to be in.

Whether you are in a relationship or not, take a day to love yourself and appreciate who you are. If you are not feeling confident about yourself, try the exercises below because you are worthy of loving yourself first and foremost.

First of all, understand that you do not have to think you are perfect. None of us is perfect. Unfortunately, many times people tend to absorb and remember hurtful or thoughtless things that people have said about them—even those things from childhood that are in no way relevant now. People often remember the hurt and pain, often when they don’t even remember the words. The message they carry is, “You are not enough.”

Unfortunately, people frequently don’t remember, or hear, the kind things that people say about them. Or they sluff the comment off, rather than hold onto it and embrace it. I don’t know each of you who is reading this exercise, but I do know that every one of you is an individual who has some wonderful traits that are valued by others in your life. Acknowledge the positive things people say about you.

Pay attention to what you say when someone compliments you. For example, when someone thanks you for something you’ve done, do you ignore the comment or say, “it was nothing”? Every time you ignore or downplay a compliment you disempower yourself.

Exercise: For 1 month, or 1 week, or 1 day listen to when people thank you, or compliment you. Or compliment you on a job well done. Write down the positive comments to reinforce them. Those are words of praise that make up a large part of who you are.

The person with the potential to know you better than anyone else is yourself. Look at the list of compliments you’ve recorded, and then add other attributes that you know are your strengths. Embrace what is good and wonderful about who you are.

When you love yourself, in spite of your faults, you will find more love in your life. Loving yourself is being an empowered self.

February Empowerment Calendar

I know from my personal experience how important it is to come from a place of empowerment. Like many of you, I didn’t grow up with a sense of empowerment. Over the years, I’ve learned that I have attributes many people appreciate, and as I’ve acknowledged and embraced those attributes I’ve become more satisfied with life, and I’ve attracted wonderful friends and experiences. I know how important empowerment is.

Years ago when I became an Empowerment Coach, I was attacked on social media by a person who said I couldn’t empower anyone, and she was right. No one can empower you. All any coach can do is to provide tools for the person to build the skills to help her meet her goals. I write this newsletter as your coach. I hope some of it works for you.

This month I created a one-month Empowerment Calendar for February. You can download it here. Let me know what you think about it. Almost every day this past January I’ve posted empowerment suggestions on Facebook; thank you for your comments. In March I’ll continue with messages on Facebook a few times a week.

Happy 75th Birthday to Me

This April I will be 75 years old. Years OLD, even though I don’t feel old (most of the time).

It’s been an interesting journey getting here and one I couldn’t even imagine as a kid. I remember having a conversation with a playmate and discussing how long we’d each like to live. I settled on something like the mid-fifties because I figured that I would still be able to be active and presumably in fairly good health. I didn’t have grandparents or other older role models in my life, so I had no concept of what it would be like to be older than my parents. [Read more…]
