What's New

Happy Thanksgiving! We're off to upstate NY tomorrow to spend time with the Family. I'm sure the kiddies aren't looking forward to the six hour drive but they are definitely excited to see Grandma, Grandpa and their Aunts and cousins!

NEW
Spiritual Compass is now blogging ! The Divine Embrace Blog is for the latest and greatest newsletter postings and any other mini-posts I am drawn to share (as in the blogging world it shall be). I will share further updates about my book as well. You can also catch me on Facebook and Tweeter twitting away! :)

A tid bit about this month. We have two portals of energy this month: "November is the eleventh month in 2009, so we are blessed with the powerful 11:11 numerical frequency throughout this entire month. On November 11 and 29, 2009, we are blessed with 11:11:11 numerical frequency, which will be an incredibly powerful time for all of us." ~ Patricia Diane Cota-Robles, EraofPeace.org

Last month's newsletter was about remaining conscious. My Husband, Don, ever so vigilant had a statement to make and I want to address it briefly here. He states: " Question. Why should we not attach ourselves to the good? Should we not connect with our children? Our family and friends? Isn't this the purpose of attraction? Why visualise if we should not connect? I can understand not attaching to the negative but our discernment is what decides what is positive and what is negative. Making the choice is our gift. It is our nature. Stillness is fine, but without attaching to what we deem to be good, the stillness is simply empty. Sorry Zen Masters, but if given the choice between clinging to those persons and things (or "thoughtforms") which bring me joy and spiritual perfection, I choose the former. That IS my perfection. "

I want to share my response to him here as it is relevant. My response is that I agree. I talked about removing attachment to the good and the bad but rather being in a peaceful accepting place. I know there is middle ground or balance between being in compassion and love of living life while simply "Being" and living in the stillness at the same time. That Stillness IS Joy and Love. It IS the ultimate connection. Connecting with our loved ones does help remind us of that ultimate divine connection. And we can be in that divine place while connecting with the positive side of life and yet the negative side of life. It is all divine. I elaborate so much more in my book that will be out in good time. Till then I hope this clears it up a bit. :) I am not a guru or master. I am you and you are me. We are all just trying to figure it out and in my sharing it is my hope that it assists me in figuring it out as well. :)

Inspirations
The messages from Maggie are channeled to her via her Higher Self, Guides and Angels. Maggie receives these inspirations while in a higher state of awareness. The Angels contribute greatly to channeling these messages, as well as Maggie's Higher Self and Guides; thus from the Oneness of All That Is.

Share your True Essence as your Gift this Thanksgiving!

Share your True Essence as your Gift this Thanksgiving! (I have to be Me!) What better way to celebrate Thanksgiving than to not only recognize your true essence but to share those unique gifts that God has given you to the World! This is the best way to raise your vibration and contribute in a positive way! Add to this your gratitude for these gifts and this ability to share them and you are well on your way to living blissfully Now and Always. Bless the world with your blessings and you will receive those blessings back a thousand fold. It's in the sharing the true magic happens.

It's becoming clearer every day that the message is to always remain true to the core of who you are. Be authentic. Don't worry about what others think. Only be who you truly are. That is all you can do. For me, I am living as authentically as possible while being grateful for all I've received and all I can share with others. Gratitude is one of the highest vibrational states out there! And it feels oh so good!

So my advice is to do you best not to sell out for money, fame or another persons happiness. You must follow *your* own happiness and passions. THAT is where true bliss lies for each of us. You only delay the inevitable and cause more roadblocks in your life that make it much harder to get back in the groove of your happy life. I'm not saying give up your job before you've even taken a moment to make a plan. I'm saying if you are in a job that is paying the bills, that's wonderful. Stay there and reevaluate if you are happy with the job. IF you are, fantastic. If you are not, then see if it's a new hobby you'd like to pursue while keeping the day job. Or maybe there is something entirely new you'd like to explore as a career. Start looking into those options and work your way towards it one step at a time. When there is a plan you can have more peace doing a job you are not so happy with, knowing you are getting to the career you will truly enjoy. It is about living happy now even doing something that is not completely in line with your bliss but always being true to your authentic self even in the not-so-great moments.

It's about becoming aligned with your true self and being in alignment with that true self in every moment possible. Remove attachments to the "negative" of the job and simply enjoy being wherever you are while continuing to stay and bring to yourself into proper alignment with your true self. Do your best no matter what job you are doing. You'll feel so much more aligned with truth and integrity when you do this and your days will go by happier and more peaceful.

You might think you are doing the right thing because society or someone you care about says it's what you are "supposed" to do. But we must stop listening to those past conditionings. They are out dated!!! Don't let anyone limit you or say you are "this" or you are "that" when you are soooo much more than whatever it is they say. It's time to follow your heart and be strong in order for the essence of who you are to shine.

Whatever it is you can bring it out! You can take it one step at a time little by little or go for the big-juicy-winner-takes-all for whatever is your passion in life. Listen to your inner guidance. It will never steer you wrong. Know that everything has divine timing and you are always right where you need to be. Lose the cords of needing to be elsewhere while following the divinely inspired actions that come your way of things that get you to an even higher vibrational space. If you get a pang of doubt, LISTEN UP! It's your wake up call. Please listen to the whispers or sooner or later the screams will come. Remember guidance that comes will always be framed in a positive gentle tug and never negative or mean or doubtful or fearful (that is ego).

Be who you are in the small circles of conversation and in the large ones. Be who you are all the time. THAT is part of why we are all here! To express the Divine through us. And each of us have a unique expression to shine! So let it shine! :)

Sometimes I find myself being the old me, that meek little girl who didn't speak up or say how she felt. She didn't want to be seen and she didn't want to cause any ripples that would lead back to her. She wanted to slide through life easily and quietly enjoying it here and there. But the Universe had other plans. I have to be seen to teach workshops. I am in school to be a Yoga Instructor and I have to be seen to teach yoga. I have to be seen in my family as an equal member with a voice!

These newsletters I send out to you all have been a true testament to my putting my voice out there. These newsletters afford me the opportunity to express myself as well as channel messages that are meaningful to those that are drawn to reading them.

It is part of my voice, my expression to uplift. So reach into the core of your being so that you shine your light and ascend naturally to the light beings you already are. I try my best to be as authentic, true and REAL as I can in what I share (and how I live) because that is all I can do. Being another fake person with fluffy messages will not evolve my soul or anyone else's. So what I share is from my heart, my higher self, the Angels and God/Universe/The All That Is. It is all of us. As much as my awareness is in every moment it is as real as can be. I am not poetic or seductively eloquent with my messages for the most part. Usually I'm just me, up front, upbeat, corny and a die-hard romantic for those happy endings. Sometimes when my Guides (ultimately a part of me) speak through me they sometimes have a higher fluidity in the tone and message that comes through very strong. And sometimes it is necessary for only my voice to speak the message. It is whatever the present moment calls for and it is Divine. My awareness will change/evolve and my beliefs will change and so too will the messages. And that's all about ascending. So the message this month for all of you reading this is to be real to yourself. Put your voice out there where you can and go wherever you are Divinely guided to go. Don't let another out-of-date belief stop you in your tracks anymore. Wake up. Share your gifts no matter how "small" you think they are or how "big" they are. Each sharing is a major contribution to the World's ascension. Be grateful for your gifts and share what has been given.

I have something to share and it might not make it to the larger audiences but it will make it to the circle of family, friends and students that are divinely guided to be around me. Just as their unique presence will be felt by me. And our special sharing's are what being a part of this world is all about. Share with each other the unique special essence that you are. Live your life now, not when you're dead with a nice quote on a tombstone.

Sometimes I want to dance to music in my car. So I dance! I have to start not caring if I look "crazy". I'm hoping this will rub off on my kids. I'm starting to learn to beat to the heart of my own drum. I'm still shy. I'm a work in progress but I'll get there and enjoy it while I do! I might not be the sexy sensual writer or the Tony Robbins of this century but there is a middle ground for me there. I'm happy with who I am right now. And there are many underlying layers I have yet to comprehend about myself. I'm still exploring what those are. We can't quite know everything about ourselves right? There is fun in the mystery of who we are. Explore who you are and play with the open mindedness of the many possibilities that you are more than you think you are! :)

The message of this month's newsletter is to express yourself in every moment that you can. Now that doesn't always mean talking or doing something. Sometimes that may actually mean saying or doing nothing as your expression; not feeding negative gossip, or not taking part in something that does not feel right to you, or taking quiet time for yourself for once. Whatever your expression is for every moment, share it. Get in touch with the real you. Many times I find that simply being is the best answer. Simply removing myself from the "positive or negative" of a situation and becoming neutral. In this place there is peace. This is where I live most times from within myself. This is where my true essence is felt most. This is where there are no attachments and it is only bliss and peace no matter what is going on in the outside world. This is where we know that all is Divine and everything that is happening is happening for a reason. It's all Divine.

Self-acceptance comes into play here. In order to get down deep to the depths of your true essence you must accept it as a part of who you are and be willing to share it or release it in some fashion. Accept that there is more to you that even you haven't explored yet. We have our lives here to pull out new expressions of ourselves. Now is no longer a time for self-judgment so let go! It's time to have some fun with it! :)

A great affirmation to recite many times a day or whenever you need a reminder is: "I am perfect just as I am." by Judith Lasater, PH.D., P.T., "Living Your Yoga".

You are always moving in the direction of your soul's highest calling whether you know it or not. But you can do this consciously and blissfully. We mine as well enjoy the physical reality as much as we can while we're here. There must be a reason for all of these gifts we've been given. What you have to share is valid and true and necessary to the whole. Share with us what is special to you. Embrace your true essence. Happy Thanksgiving to you all!

Enjoy, live, laugh and love always!

Bliss,
~Spiritual Cheerleader

Dear Maggie

QUESTION

Dear Maggie

"How are you? I had a reading, which brought up my 25 year old brother-in-law, done by a Psychic Medium here in town. He just died this past May. She told me that she can see past and future lives, and that in his next life he’s going to do something that’s going to save hundreds or even thousands of lives. She says that he needs to go into the Light by Halloween in order to make it to this next life because supposedly this life starts in about six months. The catch is though, according to her he’s attached to me out of guilt for dying (why me, I’m not sure) and he won’t leave me until I absolutely convince him that I’ll be okay without him. I don’t know what she means by that at all, it’s not like I’ve spiraled into any addictions or anything since he died. My life has gone on normally. I miss him, of course, but that’s normal. And it’s not like he did anything to me either, we were really good friends, and I love(d) him dearly.

" I’ve already told him that if reincarnating is something he wants to do, then he can just do it. He doesn’t need my permission or to worry about me. I can’t get a clear consensus on if reincarnation can even happen that quickly or not. Some sources say that spirits don’t reincarnate for hundreds of earth years, in order to give time for the soul group to get together. The book I’m reading right now “Journey of Souls”, which you’ve probably read, which is about a Psychiatrist’s case studies on people’s spirit lives has people reincarnating from as early as the mid-1900s. So, it seems that it’s possible for people to reincarnate quickly if they want. My concern is would my brother-in-law really need anything from me in order to move on with his afterlife? Conversely, if I don’t do anything will I really be trapping him with me away from the Light? Poor me, I’m so confused, I should have just had her read my Tarot. ;-)"

~ Thank you so much for any reply,
Renee

Dear Renee,

No, you are not trapping your brother-In-Law away from the light. For you ARE a light being. If he is in ghost form, he may be attracted to your light. As your light can also assist him in the crossing over process. Some ghosts remain lingering here in this dimension via the astral plane. They usually only do this if there is unfinished business here on Earth (that if they crossed over they would know all is in perfect divine order whether they are crossed over or not).Sometimes it's because of their own fear of hell or the judgment they may face (all rubbish, the only judgment comes from the self and some may create their own hell until they realize they can and do deserve Love and Light). Sometimes they are hanging on to a loved one and want to watch over them (and what they don't realize is they can more easily watch over their loved ones from the next dimension they are moving into and again will know all is in perfect order for their loved ones). You can read more about Ghost faq's here (scroll down to the section titled "Ghosts").

Reincarnation has been debated. Upon birth I was brought up that it didn't exist. Then when the concept was introduced to me, I thought and pondered and suddenly it felt right that reincarnation exists. However, there's more to this now. It is plausible (and even some cases in the "Journey of the Soul" by Dr. Michael Newton book state this) that we have soul groups that we belong to. This group is on the Other Side watching over us and some are incarnating with us to work through issues. And the other thing to ponder is the fragments of our soul is actually living out not only many other Universe's of experience in this one life we are living, but also living several other SIMULTANEOUS lives. So living more than one "life" at a time and the highest soul is experiencing all of these at once and integrating the learnings and evolvement. And to take it even further these simultaneous lives could be happening in the "past", "present" or "future" because really time and space are of no essence so it is all happening only the Now.

It is so much to ponder and wrap our 3D brain around that I won't elaborate about the multiple Universes of this one life but to say watch the movie "Next" and it will help explain with visuals what I mean by this. Feel free to ask me more on that via email as well! So back to the *simultaneous* lives; living several lives at one time. Now, I feel that *all* of these are plausible and probably *all* happening. And that includes that yes, sometimes the soul will only have one life to incarnate into and may take 50-100 or more years to incarnate into a new life. And I feel that sometimes the incarnation process truly IS and will happen in an instant from one life to the next, even as soon as one day. Again, it depends upon the evolvement of the soul and if they need more processing, restoration and rejuvenation time or not. And I believe that there are many others that are working towards integrating many learnings at once and are working towards blending those learnings upon the completion of several simultaneous lives. I believe each soul has the free will to choose and trusts the Divine to know the highest good for them and usually goes with that divine guidance. Each soul is unique and each experience is unique. So there is no one right answer here. They are all right in my opinion.

As for your Brother-In-Law. In his case it feels that you know there are no real pulls for you and him to have a connection, other than your belief in a higher way and it may be that he sees that in you and is attracted to that as his gateway home (Other Side/Heaven). You must always trust your inner guidance and know your deepest soul knows the truth.

It feels as if he is still around you. He is reaching out and in an attempt and desire to allow him to cross over you are blocking his essence and any contact. You do not need to push him away but rather allow him and his energy to be there for a night or two. Simply say hi and see if he has any messages. Tell him that you may not be able to hear him but to send you a sign that is very blunt for any message he may still be holding on to so that he can then cross over. It feels that part of his mission in this life actually *is* to be a ghost prior to crossing over. It feels as if his last mission is to assist you in knowing there is an afterlife and to continue with your passion in the metaphysical world and open up to further connections to the All That Is so that you evolve as you were meant to as well. His death affords you the opportunity (just by being around) to continue to work with your own evolvement in spirituality and find what calls you within that framework. He likes the plan of trying to make contact with him. What I want you to do is not to open up to just any spirit but to surround yourself with white light and ask that your Highest Divinity be called in (Angels, God, etc.) and to protect you and let only those of positive love and light come near. Then to ask that you connect only with your brother-in-law (by name) and for any messages he may have. Ask for it to come during meditation, a dream, waking synchronicities, etc. and then simply breathe and Be.

Start a regular meditation daily if you can. This is a recommendation to continue to assist you in your personal practice and evolvement. This will strengthen your connection to Source/The Divine/God.

After a few days have passed, as long as you feel from within (and you will know) that the message has been received then you can tell him it's time to go. (He just states that you must hear him and he can go. He points to his watch so he is hoping you will do this soon. He just says, "It's time." Time for you to wake up, even more so.) So listen and he will go. If you feel you need extra assistance with crossing him over after this exercise, let me know and I can help! :)

Now, to do this by Halloween as your reading with the psychic stated? Not quite sure I'm feeling that is accurate. I think that divinely that this timing will be the finish of your process with him so it might work out in that sense. But his future life is *not* in jeopardy. He is on track with his divine plan, as we all are.

Blessings to you!
Maggie

Are you dying or are you living. This movie shares such a beautiful message of living no matter how much time you have on Earth.
