 Dear Maggie,
My mother has recently been diagnosed with a tumor.. I have always been very spiritual was able to see peoples auras, seen ghosts, a keen meditater and my body's currency has blown and turn on light bulbs and set off car alarms sometimes on myown demand..
However recently really strange things have been happening to me i don't know if its my way of trying to cope but it feels morelike something else.
Everyday begins to feel like deja-vu and today I bumped into my sister ex boyfriend whom we haven't seen for the past 2-3 years! Anyway, she called him recently as she was so distraught about the news of our mother and today while i was deep inthought and holding back the tears on the bus i happened to look up and see him I was sat near the front door of the bus (which were open) and he was walking along the street he shouted if I was ok then the doors closed and the bus drove on.
When I saw him my hands went numb and began to get severe pins and needles in them I have never had this before and I wonder if you would have anymore knowledge on this?
Also I travel often and never got to spend as much time with my mother as I wish I could have there has been many times when I was living abroad where I would cry with worry should anything happen to my mum when i was a way..is there any chance I predicted this or even brought it on?? perhaps the universe thought i was asking for this!
Recently, I have had even more offers to work and study abroad but never took them up.. so i am glad the universe has let me be here to support her and my family through this hard time.
Thank you for taking your time to read this i do hope you could help me with my questions.

Dear Rebecca,
First of all, I am so sorry to hear of your Mother's diagnosis. It is painful to have the possibility of losing someone we love. But know you will get through it. It seems you are doing well focusing on your growth and the beautiful signs the Universe is sending you quite often! :)
Deja-vu and synchronicities seem to happen to most all of us and when they do there can be several reasons why. Sometimes it's because we are remembering a scenario we reviewed prior to coming into this life when deciding what we will experience in this life. And other times it's a reminder of the mystery of the Universe. To know that there is something more, there is a bigger picture that we are not aware of but that it is working in our lives, through our lives and for us. It's a lovely reminder to be more awake, live presently and question where we are at in our lives. The more we question ourselves and ask if we are on our Divine path living life joyfully and in our own personal sacred truth, the more we make sure we get and stay on our true Divine path.
This alone causes changes and transformations deep in our lives. We may question a relationship and make a move in the right direction either diving deeper into the relationship with vigor or leaving it entirely. The same goes for careers, our health and just living a Divine spiritual life.
So it's not always the person per say that is to be focused on when the synchronicity or deja-vu surrounds a person. And sometimes there is something there. Do ask yourself what feels right in this case.
Secondly, you mentioned feeling pins and needles in your fingers during one encounter. So this could be a connection with a spirit that causes this feeling in you. It can also be a way to confirm from your Higher Self or Angels that you have just had aspiritual encounter where this experience was brought to you by a Higher Source for you to start questioning these things more deeply in your life.
Another option that seems to be what is happening here is it can be a Kundalini Awakening symptom. Our bodies are constantly changing and evolving and through our spiritual awakening our bodies will need to raise itself in vibration. When this happens a Kundalini awakening occurs to assist our body to align more completely with our Higher Spiritual Self. The Kundalini awakening causes SEVERAL symptoms from the mundane and nice ones like tingles in our body, synchronicities in our life, electrical zings up our spine and yes, light bulbs going off for no reason, seeing hearing and feeling psychic impressions, and there are more severe symptoms that go deeper such as Depression, Entity attachments, feeling hot and cold in extreme temperatures, feeling severely sexual to no sex drive whatsoever, etc. These ups and downs and body changes occur to clean out our bodies and clear our chakras of all energy blockages to uplift our soul's to a new level during these ascension times. It's a good idea to read more about spiritual and kundalini awakenings because it does seem to be working in your life at this time.
My second book due out 2-12-12 will have all of this information included in it. But if you can't wait till then there are several kundalini sources out there. One such awesome book is Farther Shores by Yvonne Kason.
It sounds like you've been waking up your whole life and now you are waking up to a new level for your soul. Just by questioning and focusing on this you are assisting in your very own process. It's helpful when awakening in such a way that you properly ground yourself often. This can be by visualizing yourself as a tree or rooted cords into the Earth, sending excess energy to the Earth, exercising and eating, etc. Grounding and meditation will help you to stay centered and focused so that your energy is not too scattered. I think you are on a great path for yourself and know to follow those signs that are coming to you! Keep up the great job! And live in the mystery. :)
Blessings to you Rebecca,
Maggie

 Hi Maggie...
Im do reiki..and I've given hooponopono a shot. I've even bought the sublimainal manifestation video Zero Limits and I just find it difficult to let go and notice any change..it just caused frustration in the end..I would love to know that it works. But I haven't experienced that yet..I'd really appreciate what you would pick up from me..
Thanks,
Patrick
Dear Patrick,
First big thing to know is you must have patience. It's not always going to happen the first time you try it, or the second or even the third. Sometimes a connection is felt right away and other times not so much. It does depend upon our own inner state at the time and where we are with our life as well as how much in the meditative state we get to during this process. Another big thing to remember is that you must have Trust and Faith in the process. You mustn't rush something so sacred. Know that sometimes when nothing happens that's exactly what is meant to happen on your path. And other times it's a matter of, not 'will it happen', but WHEN will it happen. Not to mention, we must also trust that even if we don't feel anything something is always working at levels we can't even begin to comprehend. It's all about our intention and focus. :)
Now, you mentioned doing Ho'oponopono and there are variations of this clearing method. Click here to read what I have written up about this ancient Hawaiian clearing method. I do not know what other methods you are combining with this other than Reiki that you mentioned. I also do not know if you are aiming this method at a specific person or intention. However, keep it simple. Simple is powerful.
For Ho'oponopono s ay the four phrases: I'm sorry, please forgive me, I Love You, Thank you. If you are aiming this at a person, see if you can say this to them even in your head with them in front of you or picture them when not around them. See the divine self within them. See that they too are divinely connected to the Universe and are powerful loving beings just like you and me. The point is to get to a no-thought space. A zero point. Know that It's not good. It's not bad. It just is. It's an amazing feeling and I know you can do it.
Lastly, Ho'oponopono is not for everyone. Just like being christian or a monk is not for everyone. However, give this path a shot first. Don't give up but don't force it either. Have a little patience and feel the awareness of the divine during your sessions with this practice. So if this ends up not resonating you can move on to something else that does.
I am a visual person so for me I feel the energy of connection by visualizing energy in colors and visualizing many things. As I see a color or intention I can easily connect to the feeling state of it. So for me visualizing energy gets me to a peaceful Oneness state. For someone else it's listening to peaceful music or being silent and present. There are many paths and all lead to the same. I wish you peaceful divine connections.
Thoughts? Questions? I hope this has helped you! :)
Blessings,

Why not! Why not go for your dreams! Why not live in peace now while we reach our goals! Why not REMOVE the fear and anxiety of it all while we open up to our truest blessings and abundance. There's no reason for us to be filled with worry and fear (of whatever - not having enough money, not getting that raise, not getting that new goal we strived for). Instead ask yourself why haven't you given peace a chance. Why not see if you can just breathe right now and be peaceful. No matter what is going on around you! No matter what anyone else says, thinks or does! No matter what! I say it's in the being peaceful, happy and joy-filled NOW that is what gets you the goals that you strive for.
