RECOGNITION ~ ASTRIDESTELLA'S PHILOSOPHY

Recognition

As I have discussed on here before, we incarnate in soul groups, the purpose being to help and support one another in our spiritual growth. We each take a different role in each incarnation and some of these roles will be fraught with difficulties, this is normal for without challenge we wouldn't grow both stronger and spiritually. Many times there is a recognition, a knowing that you know someone from before you know intuitively they are a kindred spirit, if both of you feel this connection you could say it is recognition on a soul level. This doesn't mean you will greet one another with oh I know you from before, alas thats not how it works, but you will both get on well, like a house on fire or you may find that recognition takes a different form and you will sense an instant dislike. Whatever form it takes there is a spiritual challenge involved.

There is another type of recognition and that is one where you have had a loving relationship with someone in a past life, it could have been as lovers, siblings or parental, either way there is a strong pull. If you are equally developed in your spiritual growth, chances are you will both experience recognition, however if one of you is more developed than the other, this relationship can be fraught with difficulties. You see you make these plans of experience and challenge before you incarnate and you make them in Divine timing, therein lies the first difficulty Divine timing does not run like earth time and divine timing will be as long as it takes for recognition to occur. It's akin to saying "How long is a piece of string?". You see Divine timing is eternal and will carry on until there is recognition. There is not much you can do to hasten the other party as the recognition has to come from them for it has to resonate at soul level and not from you physically saying to the other party, "Don't you feel connected?" All you can do is be patient and know recognition will happen but it will be in Divine Timing.

Remember too seldom is a deep spiritual challenge straight forward, it will be difficult, none the less when this challenge is overcome it will be the most rewarding.

ACCEPTANCE ~ ASTRIDESTELLA'S PHILOSOPHY

"Acceptance"

"See yourself and others through the eyes of the angels, with unconditional love and acceptance. In this way, you inspire and lift everyone to their highest potential."

I often write during the night as I do automatic writing and channel  philosophy from Spirit and last night this message came through. I has been seeking the answers to a question I had asked and this was my answer.

"It's necessary as we grow more spiritual to undertake challenges, this happens not just in our present lifetime but in ALL our lifetimes, to undertake all kinds of pain. Of all those emotional is the hardest of all for in emotional pain the message and lesson within touches the soul. Physical pain only affects the earthly body and can be solved, there are many advances in medicine to deal with this. Only a kindred soul who has gone through and felt  emotional pain has the skills and experience to empathise and can truly unburden others. 

As you develop spiritually you will do more good by allowing others unburden their emotional pain onto you for you are the key to their release. This undertaking is tough but necessary your time just now is making keys of which there are many. One day you will have a full set. See yourself as a seeker of knowledge. 

The day will come when you are akin to a sponge when you cannot take in anymore, it is then you will have achieved full spiritual growth. Do not fight this. Your lesson is acceptance know this is so. remember one cancels out the other."

It's a very true saying no one can ever understand unless they have walked a mile in anothers shoes.

Remember too, "Compensation and Retribution for all souls" you will never go unrewarded for those you help

HELPING OTHERS, LIFE CHALLENGES ~ ASTRIDESTELLA'S PHILOSOPHY

Sometimes despite your best efforts, you have to step back from trying to help someone as by interfering you are doing them no favours. As my mediumship developed and became stronger, I wanted so much to help others, what I found out was it doesn't always work out like that. Firstly we all have personal responsibility for our actions and if you constantly interfere and help someone too much as well as being very draining it stops them taking some responsibility. This does NOT mean we don't help, we should try to help others but there comes a point where we should be helping them to help themselves.

Secondly on a spiritual level, we all plan our lives' challenges and experiences before we incarnate, we have all chosen our pathway in this life, the good and the bad as life is a teaching experience. On conversation with my guides this was pointed out to me, that I was interfering with their challenges.

So how do we know when it's ok to help someone yet again and when to step back? Well when we go through challenges and difficulties spirit want to help us, they want to support us for they want the best for us and they will send us that bit of support and help along the way, so I would say go for it and help where you can, but also  give the the person you are helping the means and knowledge to further help themselves, this way we fullfill spirit's ideals of supporting others, yet we allow them to manage their own destiny and we don't interfere with the life challenges they chose for themselves.

Life is not fair and it never will be, nor was it ever meant to be, for if we weren't challenged we would not grow and this is what spirit want for us to grow and to understand what life is about.

AN ANGEL FEATHER ~ TRUST

AN ANGEL FEATHER

An Angel feather fell on me one day when I felt down

I was too busy to notice at first walking staring at the ground

Then I felt it's soft embrace wrap around me warm

And with it came the message I'll protect you from all harm

The feeling felt of love so pure and true

Unconditionally perfect gentle but strong too

And then I heard a voice inside my heart, it's voice gently spoke

It told me all I needed was trust, and suddenly my soul it woke

I looked upwards towards the sky

No longer did I feel the need to ask of me why?

That gentle Angel feather had awoken and touched my soul

No longer did my heart feel broken, but stronger repaired and whole

MPB © 

I don't normally post my poetry on this blog but on my writing one www.astridestella.org however there is a message in this. Life is not easy it's not designed to be, we are all incarnated on Earth to learn. Not academic subjects but to learn something more valuable and much more important than anything material; patience, understanding, empathy, compassion, forgiveness and unconditional love, but before we even begin to understand these lessons, we need to learn trust and I would say this is the most difficult and the most important of all. We can't move on in life without trust, if we trust no one we will end up very lonely. Everyone makes mistakes, YOU included, what's important is that you learn from them, so everyone needs a second chance to right their wrongs. For those who have made mistakes if you apologise from your heart and soul, you deserve forgiveness and for those who have been aggrieved remember don't tar everyone with the same brush, remember how your not infallible either. But above all trust in the Universe it wants us to learn but it also wants the best for us.

DEALING WITH WORRY

Do you ever ask yourself what does worry achieve? Lets be honest does it achieve anything? Does it make you feel better? Does it stop the worst happening? The answer to all those questions is no and in fact it will make you feel worse. All it will do is raise your stress hormones which have a detrimental effect on your body and your health. From a holistic point of view it will serve only to depress the functioning of your chakras and untimely your health and well being making you immune system less efficient.

This does not mean you should be blasé about life and be over confident and act like you don't care. You should always endeavour to go about your daily life and work to your best ability, and treat others as you, yourself would wish to be treated.

My philosophy is this: If i have a worry first of all I change the word 'worry' to 'challenge' just doing that in itself lessens its power over you. When you view worry as a challenge, then you think, "How can I over come this?" Well if you have the resources to deal with it then use them, if you do not seek help to overcome the challenge. Even just sharing the challenge can disable its power over you not only that but someone else's ears and eyes can see a different point of view and a solution you overlooked, because you were too close to the challenge. Sometimes you need to step back and see challenges from a bit further away, even by  seeing the challenge as someone else's challenge can help, "What if this was a friend or colleague what would you suggest?"

Lastly if no one can help you, remember this you are never alone, our guides and mentors and loved ones in spirit cannot take these challenges away from us for we chose those challenges ourselves before we incarnated as a learnIng experience and its not in their jurisdiction to interfere what plans we created. However this does not mean they cannot help or support us, for this they can do. They cannot take the challenge away, but they can lighten it and support us through it, for no matter what you will get through it and we will get through it faster and a whole lot easier by trusting Spirit and knowing we are all loved.

Now of course I appreciate this is hard for some of you to think this way, but do give it a try in the meantime if you feel that you want to worry and think about your challenge try this technique

You can think about your "worry" with one proviso that you lock it in a box and put that box into another locked box until you have locked it over and over again inside another locked box several times and every time you want to dwell on your worry you have to go through the visualisation of unlocking and locking the boxes every time you want to dwell on it.  In time you will find you cannot be bothered to go and unlock your boxes so technically you won't dwell on your worry quite as much and you will be the happier and the healthier for it.

ASTRIDESTELLA'S PHILOSOPHY "WORRY"

I am busy concluding my next book, I intend that this book will be somewhat different to most other psychic books but whilst doing some research I came across this:

"Worry is a negative prayer. It is telling the Universe how frightened you may be feeling. It also reinforces your ‘fear’ vibration and may bring about exactly what you fear".

In other words if you are negative you attract further negativity towards you. No matter how you are feeling there is no sense in worrying, it is not practical and it achieves nothing, that does not mean you should be over confident, what it does mean however is you trust spirit and the Universe to give you what you need and so it will be done.

ASTRIDESTELLA'S PHILOSOPHY~ NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS

IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN!

It's coming up to this time of year again when we make New Year Resolutions. For me there is always something new and exciting about the new year. Its full of promise and it's a bit akin to be given a chance to wipe the slate clean and starting over. Most of us look back on the old year and say, "Oh I hope the new year will be better", but instead look back over the old year and see how far you have come. It's doesn't matter if its been a bad year, its been a learning curve, and although you may not yet realise it , you eventually will. You will see how you have grown stronger, your ability to cope will have improved, you will think more and become more resourceful, but even better you will have a unique ability to understand and be able to help those souls who will cross your path, who are not as strong as you and you will be able to help. Sometimes all the help someone needs is an ear and ear to listen and not judge, it helps others see and understand what their problems are and through doing so it can help those to help themselves. This is the basis of good counselling, its not about giving advice, nor telling someone what to do about their problems, its about listening and being empathetic in a non judgemental way, this then ables people to take stock of their life and see their problems from a different view point, instead of panicking and they think, gosh here is someone who listens and understands me. I'm a great believer in, "Never let anyone go without the better from having seen you". Believe when I say the reward is in the giving.

Many resolutions don't last because we set the stakes too high, so instead of trying to achieve a lot, try to do a little on a daily basis by the end of the year you will be amazed on how well you have done. Be kind to yourself to help others first you must take care of yourself, that doesn't mean you become selfish, but that you are in a strong and healthy position to give you the strength and stamina to see the tasks through. So set reasonable, achievable goals and you will do much better than you ever expected.

ASTRIDESTELLA'S PHILOSOPHY~THE "RIGHT TIME"

Have you ever stopped to think how wonderful nature is and how it has thought of everything? If you think of the human body and how our bodies work all the chemical changes that take place within our livers and digestive system, not to mention how all our individual cells come together and form us and how these cells reproduce copies of each other and if not we have a fall back system, our immune system to deal with any malformed ones. And how wonderful, how we can reproduce and form new people and how these babies, no matter how tiny are perfectly formed.

Ok the next bit of what I'm going to say might seem a bit silly, but when you think of it, it does make sense. As we get older, we don't look as good as we used to, we may put on a bit of weight and become a bit flabby, our skins wrinkle and is not as firm as it used to be. But nature has thought of this too, we loose the ability of being able to focus our eyes close up, so we cannot see the fine detail as we used to so when you look in the mirror (unless its a magnifying one) we see ourselves and others in fuzzy vision, so within our generation, we don't notice the ageing as much.  Nature's way of helping us cope with age don't you think?

But on a more serious note, the Universe like Nature thinks of everything and all part of a plan, there is a right time for everything in life and if it doesn't happen when you want it to, it was because it wasn't the right time. For a plan to come together all the components must be there at the right time, as is the case with the human body, for the body to live it needs oxygen, water and food and our bodies need all the correct enzymes to digest that food. And so it is with our desires, each part has to come together and if that part isn't ready it cant happen. If something is meant to happen it will and because Nature and the Universe is so incredible, it will do so at the "RIGHT" time.
