Pay attention to your premonitions and déjà vu's! They are guiding you in the right direction. I had an "a-ha" moment this morning. I'm a visionary, and when my angels communicate with me it is often in the form of visions and pictures. This morning, at a random moment, my angels showed me a picture of a memory from 2003.
Your angels will help you in all areas of your life, but I find that my guides particularly help me with my business! Part of my life path is being an entrepreneur (sounds so much better than self-employed, don't you think?) and I've attracted a team of helpers this lifetime that really support me in that. They help me stay organized, they give me creative ideas and they help me be in the right place at the right time so that success is natural.
Like it or not, if you don't have everything you desire in life, or if you are having trouble reaching your goals, it is a result of self-imposed limitations. The programming you grew up with, or the maze as we call it, has a strong effect on what success you will achieve. Often, you take this programming for granted thinking that it's just the way life is - not even considering that anything could be different.
After doing this Spiritual Work for over 20 years, my guidance have revealed to me a simple, step-by-step process to take you from wherever you are now, to fully embracing your purpose-filled, successful life. You did not come to Planet Earth to suffer. You came to learn about yourself, to grow, to be successful, to be happy and to be of service to others.
There is a new, vibrant energy coming in for 2015; can you feel it? I am very excited for the New Year and have almost been impatient for December to be over with this year. 2014 has been a great year, but I've been feeling lately like I'm ready to take this to the next level of success in my life in 2015.
A little while ago I attended a lecture by author Robert Scheinfeld who talked about what it was like to be spiritually enlightened. I resonated with a lot of what he shared, and some I disagreed with. But it was definitely thought-provoking and got me thinking, what is it to be spiritually enlightened? I don't think I have all the answers now, but I can share with you what my understanding of that is at this time, and what I am working toward. Here are the 3 Important Keys for Creating Spiritual Enlightenment in Your Life.
If you don't have everything you desire in life, or if you are having trouble reaching your goals, it is a result of self-imposed limitations. The programming you grew up with, or the maze as we call it, has a strong effect on what success you will achieve. Often, you take this programming for granted thinking that it's just the way life is - not even considering that anything could be different.
1. Believe you can achieve your goals. Self-belief is everything. Have you set New Year's Resolutions in the past, only to forget them a few weeks into January? This can often happen because you don't truly believe that you can achieve them. If you have a goal to purchase a new car, or a holiday, you need to first believe it is possible. Visualize yourself in that new car, or taking that amazing vacation. Write down all the steps you will need to take to reach that goal. By putting your attention to it every day, you will believe it is already real. And then it will be!
The most common word I have heard people use to describe the work that we do is "practical." This is truly what sets our work (and others trained by the Americana Leadership College) apart from everything else out there in the world of spiritual growth and development. It is very practical tools that you can apply into your life immediately.
My little boy Liam is now four months old. While I was pregnant, I received a message from my guidance suggesting that I take 4 months of mate ity leave. Now that time is coming to an end and I am transitioning back to working more again, it seemed a good time to reflect and share with you what I have learned from this experience of being a mother. Although it’s only been 4 months I almost can’t remember what it was like without Liam around. Lesson #1 Focus on the Essential and forget the trivia
As many of you know Richard and I attend the annual ALC International Regrouping Retreat in Puerto Rico every year. We invest our time and money in going on this trip because we know the spiritual growth we gain makes the investment come back to us exponentially. This year’s retreat was particularly deep and insightful. Each day had a new theme. It was like we were reinca ating every day to a new lifetime’s opportunity!r
Your angels can help you in so many areas of your life. Are you asking for help? It is always available to you, but it is up to you whether you choose to pay attention and utilize that help; or whether you ignore it or talk yourself out your impressions. Through over 15 years of helping people communicate with their angels I have seen that your beliefs and concepts about how high souls work is a big factor in the success you have in connecting with your own team.
Have you ever set a goal and then wondered why it never happened? I am an ambitious person and I get really excited about the idea of creating a life that is inspiring, fun and abundant with success and opportunities. I'm sure you are too. I used to have a habit of writing down my ideas and goals in a book, but then never doing anything with them. A few months later I would write down the same goals again, and over and over again I would never manage to achieve them. After a time I realized that something had to change!
In my work with clients, one of the most common challenges they experience is that they don't trust themselves. I decided to address this today by giving you 4 Keys to be aware of that will help you remember the truth of who you are and why you are here, and as a result, trust yourself 100%.
Recently, I was interviewed for Awaken Radio. We talked about many things, including how to receive messages from your angels, and how you work with the four spiritual gifts of Intuition, Vision, Prophecy and Feeling. But, when I mentioned in passing about Feel - Think - Act; the host stopped in her tracks. "That is so important; you need to repeat that, Melissa," she said. The Feel - Think - Act process is still something that is greatly misunderstood today, so this inspired me to share more about it with all of you today.
The 7 chakra centers are spiritual energy centers that are associated with areas of the physical body. In Sanskrit, the word chakra means "wheel." You can think of chakras as wheels of energy. They are constantly moving in a circular motion.
How can you manifest what you truly want and desire? Many of us try hard to create the life we want, but somehow fall short. It can be frustrating to have goals and dreams in life but never quite manage to reach them. It is possible to ATTRACT everything you want in life and more, but there are some important principles that need to be in place for this to happen.
Do you have trouble communicating with your angels despite having read all the books and attended all the workshops? You’re not alone. However, if you’ve already learned techniques to establish a connection with your guides then the problem is not that you can’t communicate with your angels, it’s that you don’t disce what you are picking up.
Feeling inspired to start 2014 out right? You should be! The La Familia Nuestra Energy calendar indicates that January 1-4th of 2014 is Direction energy. In Direction, it’s all about setting your goals and intentions for the future. It’s a fantastic time to make plans. There is something very inspiring about the beginning of the year. I have had some challenges the past couple of weeks. Nothing major, but just one of those times when all the little things add up together to make life challenging. (I know you’ve been there!)
Your angels will help you in all areas of your life, but I find that my guides particularly help me with my business! Part of my life path is being an entrepreneur (sounds so much better than self-employed, don’t you think?) and I’ve attracted a team of helpers this lifetime that really support me in that. They help me stay organized, they give me creative ideas and they help me be in the right place at the right time so that success is natural.
As a soul you are a psychic being. As a child you were probably much more in touch with your psychic abilities than you are now. You may have felt a presence in your room, known what someone was thinking, remembered past lives or experienced a visitation from a deceased relative. My father told me a story once that I found absolutely fascinating. My mother has relatives in Italy and when my parents were first married, they visited the family in Italy. My mother’s cousin, who had moved to New York, was also visiting at the same time, and had brought her two young children with her.
So you’ve purchased the “How to Communicate with Your Angels e-book” and are ready to practice the techniques. You’re so excited to try everything and begin talking with your angels and having their support in your life. But what if you start trying to connect and you feel like “you’re not getting anything?” If you’ve ever felt like that – don’t worry, you are not alone. It’s normal and you can get through it. I know from experience, without a doubt, that everyone can have a clear, direct communication with their angels.
Back in May, I shared with you that my theme for the year is "Spiraling Upward." For those of you that may have missed that article, here's a quick recap. In February, we attended the annual International Regrouping Retreat in Puerto Rico. There was a different theme each day of the retreat. The theme that stood out to me the most was "Spiraling Upward." On the day of "Spiraling Upward," we were offered the opportunity to go surfing. Immediately, my beliefs and concepts about surfing kicked in. I heard myself thinking, "Surfing is too difficult for me. I will never be able to do that."r
As the year comes to a close, and we have a little downtime during the Holiday Season and New Years, it’s a great time to reflect, regroup and then set your energy for the coming year. For the past 5 years ago I have had a practice of reviewing my year and setting goals for the year to come. I have developed a system of doing this that really works well for me, so I thought I would share these steps with you today in the hope that you will benefit from this simple, yet powerful practice. Step 1: Write a letter of thankfulness for the year that has just past.
"Whether you realize it or not, you unconsciously create your experiences in life. Your unconscious fears are like goals. If you dwell on something long enough, you attract it or move toward it." -Dr. Francisco Coll When I took Tiger Coll's "Spiritual Contracts" workshop in 2008 I had a big "a-ha" moment. I learned that what I truly want and desire deep down inside is EXACTLY the same as my life purpose - my spiritual mission this lifetime.
We are often told that we "should" meditate. But who has the time to sit still for an hour every day? As a parent of a nearly 2 year old boy, I know it's almost impossible to do that in my daily life. Have you been beating yourself up for not meditating? You can bring in some time of spiritual centering without having to do the traditional Eastern version of meditation. Here's how.
Every now and again I get emails from people criticizing me for charging any money for my products and services. Their argument usually sounds something like, “If you were truly spiritual, you would offer this for free to be of service,” or “God’s gifts cannot be charged for.”
We all know that it’s important to take some time out to meditate daily. It’s one of those many things on the to-do list of being a “good and efficient” person. Along with nurturing your relationship, spending quality time with your kids, cooking healthy meals, exercising, reading, organizing your clutter… The list goes on and on! We all live busy lives these days so it’s not surprising that many people struggle to find time to meditate.
Are you a loner? Hey, I can relate. I would definitely class myself more as an introvert than an extrovert. However, your spiritual growth actually depends on sharing with people. You will get limited results from being alone. Many people don’t realize the importance of OUTFLOW. Outflow is the sharing of your ideas, skills and wisdom with others. You do not need to be a best-selling author to outflow. Having outflow is important for everyone. It is a spiritual NEED to outflow.
2015 is coming! Personally, I’m kind of glad 2014 is coming to a close. It wasn’t a bad year by any means; in fact, it was a year of a lot of growth. A lot of new things have happened in my life and it’s taken some time to get used to all the change and settle down into a “new normal.” For one thing, I had a baby, and Richard retired and began to work full time in our business. Life looks very different for us now than it did just 2 years ago, and I finally feel like we are getting back on our feet and ready to grow again.
You’ve heard the idea about developing your intuition, but why would you want to? Your intuition is a very practical tool to have in your life. If you are not using it, you are missing out. My son Liam is 5 1/2 months old and I have found that my intuition comes in very handy when dealing with a baby who is not old enough to communicate verbally yet. When I trust my intuitio I can take a lot of the guesswork out of parenting an infant. I have an answer for all those questions: “Is he hungry? Why is he cranky? Is he ready for a nap yet?” Etc etc!
When I was 16 years old, I had an experience where I felt a baby soul come around me and communicate with me. She felt joyful and fun and I just knew deep down in my heart that she would be my child one day. It was only a matter of timing. At that time of course, I was very young and had NO plan to have kids any time soon! My mother had her first child at 30, and I also planned to experience the world a bit before having children. I wanted to travel, find a career and of course find the right partner.
A long time ago I heard the phrase, “Your thoughts create your reality.” What does this mean to you? I think the truth goes a little bit deeper. As Francisco Coll shared, “You’re not what you think you are, you are what you think.”
One of the most common questions I get asked by clients is "What is my life purpose?" or "What am I here to do?" I know that many of you are plagued by this question. Or even if you have a pretty good understanding of what your life purpose is, you probably still need guidance on what steps to take in order to fulfill it more effectively and abundantly. In keeping with our theme of aligning with your life purpose in January I thought I would share some practical, simple steps you can take to fulfilling your life purpose. 1. Decide what it is you truly want.r
How to Become Spiritually Rich by Melissa Kitto Many people who live a spiritual life have challenges with money. You may have deep-rooted concepts about money that are holding you back. With the ups and downs in the economy this past few years, I've noticed that concepts that were completely subconscious for people are now coming to the forefront. That's great! It means it's time to HEAL.
My son Liam is 2 years old now and growing fast in so many ways every day! As he is starting to talk a lot more and comprehend a lot more, I am becoming more aware of how to help Liam nurture and grow his natural psychic abilities. I am very aware of how my spiritual abilities have grown in my 37 years of life, and that I have an understanding of who Liam is as a soul that my parents didn’t have until later in my life.
Would you like to learn to channel the messages of your angels? You can do this with just a little time and practice. When you read the word channeling, what does this mean to you? The term means different things to different people. To me, it means being an open recipient to the messages of higher souls.
The idea of having a unique life purpose is something that has fascinated me since I was a teenager. In my younger years I followed the obvious path in front of me, but slowly but surely I learned to look within and find my own passions in purpose instead of doing what everyone else expected of me. Some people discover how to do this early in life, and some later in life, and some never do it. Whatever stage of life you are at, it is not to late to discover your unique life purpose. Here are some tips that will help you get started on this road to self-discovery.
The most frequent questio I get asked by clients is: “How do I tell the difference between my own mind and the messages of my angels?” Is this a challenge for you too? Today, I’d like to share some tips with you to overcome this doubt so that you can truly trust you are receving divine guidance. These tips might not be what you expected to hear, so take a deep breath and have an open mind as you read this! 1. Let go of the analyzing and dissecting! Over-thinking is a habit.r
Did you realize that you have the ability to communicate with your angels 24 hours a day? If you're not doing that, or you don't know how, this article will provide you with 5 Essential Keys to being in close contact with your angels.
In the space of five days here in Virginia, we experienced a significant sized earthquake, a severe electrical storm and a hurricane! All of these events are rare in Virginia, so to have all three in the space of a week was pretty shocking. There hasn't been a hurricane here for 9 years, and there hasn't been an earthquake of that magnitude (5.8) for over 100 years! I can't help thinking how symbolic it is of the changes and shifts that are happening in people's lives and on the planet as a whole at this time.
Mention the word "goals" around a lot of people and they will immediately hide their heads or look the other way! There's something about the word that feels like pressure. Perhaps it's because when we were growing up parents and teachers told us the goals they thought we should have, rather than giving us a chance to get in touch with our own desires. In this way, goals become something that others tell us to do, rather than fun and inspiring. Goals were too serious. Goals were only for grown-ups.
My father’s side of the family, the Kittos have a long history of worrying! In the bible there is a quote: “The sins of the fathers are passed on to the next generation”. We all pick up the habits; good and not so good; from our parents. So somewhere along the line I picked up my father’s habit of worrying.r
Automatic writing (the ability to receive messages from your angels through written messages) is a skill that anyone can develop. It can be an incredibly powerful tool for receiving clear messages from your Angels. Often, after an automatic writing sessio I look back on what I have wrote and say “Wow! I know those words did not come from me!” The messages will reflect the personality of your guides as they come through. If you are searching for answers or guidance on a particularly challenging situation, or just for your life in general – try automatic writing.r
Have you ever set a goal and then wondered why it never happens? I am an ambitious person and I get really excited about the idea of creating a life that is inspiring, fun and abundant with success and opportunities. I’m sure you are too. I used to have a habit of writing down my ideas and goals in a book, but then never doing anything with them. A few months later I would write down the same goals again, and over and over again I would never manage to achieve them.
Have you ever observed two siblings who have completely different personalities? You wonder how it can be possible that they react so differently to things, when they grew up in the same environment with the same parents, right?
You may have been taught to look for love outside of yourself.When you are very young, during your first seven years, you tend to pick up the beliefs and habits of the people who raise you. Sooner or later, these tendencies become a part of you. As you get older, you might start to question the concepts your parents taught you about who you are and what your potential is.
