REFLECTIONS ON DIFFICULT TIMES

We lived in our old home for nearly 9 years. We had a lease-to-buy option. When the time came for us to try and purchase the house, the bank asked way too much money and so we decided to look for another house. It took us 7 months of difficult and stressful searching with a lot of disappointments to finally get to our dream home that practically “fell in our lap” from what we truly believe is a gift from the universe and God.

I remember once we moved all our belonging to the new property and came to the old house one last time, I sat in the empty patio and reflected on the nine years that Clayton and I lived there with all our beloved furry-kids.
I tried to reflect on the difficult times that we experienced over the years. Some of the challenges that we faced were easy to resolve, while others were so difficult that we felt stuck, frozen with fear, confused, and scared. But without a doubt ALL of our challenges really tested our faith! Our faith in spirituality, the universe, each other, and at times our faith in God.
While remembering our difficult challenges, I also reviewed our reactions to them, the actions that we applied, and the amazing lessons that we learned. I was also able to clearly see how much our difficulties has shaped who we are, individually and as a couple. The difficult experiences that tested our faith strengthened it, the difficult times that causes us to be frozen with fear helped us be courageous, and the difficulties that caused us to doubt, blame, or disconnect from one another caused us to remain united, and connected, and more loving than ever!

But most of all, I realized that despite how stressful, difficult, and at times unbearable, our experiences on this harsh planet are, we CAN overcome it and survive!
We just have to remember that difficult times will pass, that challenges are there to teach us and help our soul grow, and when times are hard we need to “dig in deep”, observe our reactions, apply the right actions, be patient, pray, and ask for help from the many powerful Light Beings that are there to assist us!

If you are experiencing a difficult time, please know that you will be OK! It might not feel that way at the moment, but hang on, believe, have faith, and patiently wait for the beautiful positive energy to shift your way!
Remember, there are NO unanswered prayers!

I love you all,
Miki

Balance

In my teaching, a repeated message from our spirit guides is about the importance of a balanced life, which most of us today, do not have!

Work: If your job is demanding, draining, or consuming a lot of hours, you must train yourself to detach in your down time, when you are away from work, like in the evenings and weekends. That includes internally as well. This means not thinking or worrying about your work/your job, and externally, this means not checking emails or actively working if what you are doing can wait until you go back. Otherwise, if you are not sufficient disconnected and are anxiously anticipating going back to work, you will not give your system enough time to energetically recharge. Not detaching from work can also mean that you are compromising your emotional, spiritual, and physical bodies which then leave you exhausted, depleted, frustrated, and grumpy!

Family: You must find time, tend to, work on, and nurture all the members of your family; your kids and your life partner, equally! When couples have children, they tent to create an imbalanced life where they put most of the care/attention into the children and forget their partner. That of course creates an energetically distant relationship that with time can create a complete disconnection.

So tent to your partner by creating date nights, candle light dinners, and other fun loving activities where you are together, alone, and without the children! Also, remember, your children, at any age, can energetically sense when their parents are disconnected and unhappy as opposed to when they are connected and loving.
Besides, happy parents = happy children!
Self: Within a properly balanced life, you can never, ever forget you!
Balance your life in a way that no matter how busy you are in your job, your family life, your challenges, or even consumed with your or others health issues, you must find time for “you to be with you”!
You need to reserve time where you have dates with yourself! Go out to eat, have a short or long drive/road trip, stay in a hotel for a night, get a massage, a facial, have a spa day, etc. Being by yourself, even for a short period of time can help you to recharge your batteries, disconnect from “life”, get a better perspective on things, and reconnect to your true beautiful self! Also, create balance and harmony in your mind, body and spirit. Mind refers to find ways that help you to quiet your busy active thinking and worrying. Body means that you do your best to nurture your body, with a good life style and internal acceptance of how your body is, appearance wise, age or abilities. Spirit, refers to continuously learning and engaging in spirituality, such as reading spiritual or self-help books, going to spiritual events and retreats, meditating, etc. Engaging in spirituality, in a consistent manner, will not only add to your spiritual knowledge and abilities, but more importantly will help to awaken your memory of who you really are: a multidimensional, immortal, powerful energy being that is powerful and wise beyond limits!
Good luck!

Last week, I was back home in Israel for my niece’s wedding.
I woke up on a Saturday morning to enjoy coffee time with my mom. My dad went to the synagogue as he does every Saturday.

When my mom and I were in the living room, I saw her frantically looking for something. I asked her, what she was looking for? She told me “I cannot find your dad’s love note”.  I asked her, what does she mean? She explained that every Saturday morning, while she is still in bed, before he leaves to the synagogue, he write her a note where he express his love for her, his appreciation for their marriage, for the children and grand-children, and for the blessed life that they have built together.
I was super surprised and quite emotionally touched. I honestly had no idea that my father was such a romantic man. I asked mom how long has he been writing those notes to her, and she said for most of their marriage.
They are married 58 years.

When I got home I told Clayton that I am going to adopt the idea of a love note every Saturday morning.

Express your love to the people in your life, in a note on a Saturday morning, or in any other way you find appropriate!

Much love to you all,

Today, Clayton and I were driving and a motorcycle rider tried to pass us on a two lane highway, lost control and crashed his bike into the oncoming traffic. He rolled over on the road for what seemed to be forever…
We stopped the car and rushed to see him. For a while he was down but then he stood up. He was very shaken, bruised up, and bleeding but appeared okay. He was a young man, maybe in his twenties. Of course he was shocked, confused, and scared. I hugged him and Clayton and I tried to comfort him. We stayed with him for a while and got the motorcycle off the road to make sure he was able to continue on his damaged bike, and then drove off.

It was such an emotional thing to go through, to think how lucky this young man was as he so easily could have lost his life today, at that moment, and his family would get the awful news that he will not be coming home…

After the incident, both Clayton and I felt how fragile life can be and how quickly things can change.
We felt blessed and grateful to be alive!

Although we have a great deal of protection from our powerful guardian angels, we also have free will! Meaning, if we continue to be reckless and stupid we can die, or worse, harm someone else!

So help your Guardian  Angels help you.
Always value and cherish your life!

Much love to you all,
Miki

Count To Ten…

When you believe in, adopt, and practice this important spiritual exercise, you will improve the interactions you have with others. However, this daily practice requires you to discipline your ego, which of course, is an easier said than done kind of a task!

When you converse with others, your spouse, a family member, or a friend, for example, decide ahead of time to fully listen to what they have to say. Just remain quiet, and listen!

Then, count to ten!

When you do that, you establish a few things.

First, those few seconds will help you to deactivate your ego’s automatic reaction to lash out, control the conversion, or say the last world. Then, once your ego is not allowed to react, you create a space that would bring to the forefront the calm and wise nature of your higher self/soul, which will “take over” and inspire you to react and respond in the right manner.

Remember that “ego” is not just a word. It is a real entity, an energy field that resides within our physical body alongside another energy, the one of our higher self. In life, we must be mindful as to which energy we “feed” and therefore strengthen!

If we do not do the necessary daily work that is required to discipline our ego, it’s energy will strengthen and so will its negative and destructive ways which will create a less likely opportunity for us to use our higher self.

Counting to ten, is one of the many different exercises that you can train yourself to do in order to weaken your ego’s negative grip on your life. However, once you do that, you will create a new life; one that is governed by the magical wisdom of your higher self.

Good luck!

Much love to you all??
