Robin – Isn’t it funny how we forget something as simple as asking for spiritual assistance? And we could be saving ourselves so much time and energy … glad this post reminded you of your resources!!

Blessings,
Andrea

I have often simply said to myself I would like something to be resolved or whatever as I go to sleep – and I find things come the next day or soon after. I haven’t been doing it lately, so thanks for reminding me!

Robin

Evelyn – I’m glad it served you! The more you allow for the unfolding, the faster the bigger picture seems to reveal itself … that’s one thing that I feel I’ve discovered over time.

Irene – Isn’t it great how creative the Universe is? We can take delight in it … once we get over scratching our heads in puzzlement!

Wow, Bev – Thank you, and thanks for purchasing my book! I hope it serves you on your path!

Lisa – Woo hoo! I look forward to working with you in our coaching sessions through the program! You’ll love it, and we have such a great bunch of Practitioners you can network with, too!

Shilpan – I often find myself the mindset that we “should” be doing this or that, or that something “is supposed to happen.” Both imply an external authority … WE are the ones that have free will! And we need to DO something with it! We definitely can’t expect Spirit or God or the Universe to swoop in and make it all happen for us.

Tom – Aaah, that’s a whole can of worms we could get into! I think you might really like my article on Owning our Divinity. I agree that we ARE God – and yet, we’ve agreed to participate in this illusion of separation. And that illusion persists through many dimensional levels. After all, even the idea that we have separate Souls is just another illusion. Through prayer, we can pierce through that illusion and discover just how connected we are, just how powerful we are. Because our will is done! Which, I think, scares the you-know-what out of some …

Hmmm, I think this is going to inspire a whole new article – thank you!

George – Thank you so much for sharing your miracles! I love these stories, they inspire all of us to expect our own miracles! You are so right – we have to believe, because our beliefs are never going to be proven wrong. Thank you also for the kind comments on my book, I’m so glad it is serving you!!!

I have been meaning to drop you a line to let you know how much I am enjoying your book Unlock your intuition.

My family – wife, Sheila, daughter, Sharon and two grandchildren have been living under one roof in California for the past 2 years.

My wife took ill last August and as a result became disabled. Living in California requires a 2-party income and more since there were two families involved.

This incident triggered a very large and exciting shift in my life and the lives of each of my family members.

I think this is when prayer came back into my life along with some additional knowledge about spirituality.

My prayers were answered in the form of some 20 plus miracles in a period of 10 months. I have not had this many answers/miracles/positive incidents happen in my 60 plus years on this earth. Not miracles as I know them to be that happened to me and my entire family.

In the last 10 months, my wife has gone Code Blue 3 times and survived, had congestive heart failure, renal failure, lost the ability to walk or even get out of bed.

After having lived in California for nearly 40 years, I received miracle number one in the form of a psychic reading from a friend of my brother’s family in North Carolina. The message was go home and put your home on the market right away. After one failure with a Real Estate person, miracle number 2 happened. A friend of my daughter’s attorney (Divorce Attorney) sent us a Real Estate Agent who helped us to sell our home in less than a week – just in time to reap the benefit of a spectacular price before the Real Estate Market started its collapse.

My daughter, grandchildren and 2 cats headed off to North Carolina where my brother and his family live and where we decided to go to be near family for the sake of my wife.

About 2 months prior to the the move, at least 6 people were sent to us and mentioned some conection to North Carolina and encouraged us to move there. Another miracle; not sure I called this one or not, but just knew I was getting lots of warm fuzzies that the move was the right thing.

The move happened in January of this year while I was still in California tryhing to figure how I was going to get my bed-ridden wife out of California. 2 more miracles were in the process of forming while I was pulling my hair out asking for help and wondering why my wife and I weremarooned here and my daughter and grandkids were off to North Carolina.

Another miracle happened in the form of a med-evac service that came to us and helped move my wife to North Carolina to a Skilled Nursing facility. I cannot begin to tell you how many wonderful people were involved in this miracle; all I know is that the universe opened all the gates wide to make this happen after 3 false starts with 2 hospitals turning us down and then the skilled nursing facility that had a dialysis unit 100 feet away ended up accepting my wife as a patient.

I kind of skipped over the fact that I made two quick trips to North Carolina to purchase a house that all of us had manifested in our minds; 4 bedrooms, 2 plus baths and an extra room that might look like the sunroom that we had just added to our California home a little over a year ago.

Several more miracles; a wonderful Real Estate agent who, after showing me 25 lovely homes led me to the home where I am writing this e-mail tonight – a 4 bedroom, 2 and one-half baths with a screened in porch that is just about the same size as our sunroom in California.

These miracles, by the way were all answers to prayers/meditations that has been going on for months and came along in quick bursts, but not all in the exact form of my requests. The house was one of those very special answers.

So as to not overload your mail box with rambling data, I will have to tell you that many more miracles followed; one very special one – my wife made a miraculous partial recovery at Britthaven Skilled Nursing Facility in Charlotte, North Carolina. She got out of bed, is walking short distances and is now in a wheelchair at home receiving in-home physical therapy and will soon have a scooter so she can become more mobile. She goes to dialysis 3 times a week down a beautiful steel ramp that was brought to us in the form of another miracle.

My daughter’s story of how she was able get out of the state of Californa after several nasty court battles is another whole group of miracles; all brought about with prayer/meditation. Does prayer work – you bet it does, but you have to ask first then believe in your heart that what you need is already here. That is tough when you are flat on your back about to meet your maker.

When my wife first went Code Blue, the attending nurse who took care of my wife after she woke up said, “You went to Jesus and he sent you back”. Oh yes, prayer works and all of my many miracles over this past 10 month period were answers to those requests for help.

Are the miracles going to stop coming while this major shift is going on; jobs for my daughter and me, help for my disabled wife, etc, etc, etc. I don’t think so because I am keeping a gratitude journal and letting the universe know that I am thankful beyond belief and so happy in our new home and our new surroundings.

The old adage of “If at first you do not succeed, try, try again and my addition to this is, believe, believe and believe.

Sorry this has been so long-winded, but I just had to let you know you have had a big impact on several lives that were once in California and are now in North Carolina.

Have a good day, Andrea and keep up your good work – looking forward to your next book.

George

I would agree that prayers are always answered. My take on this, though, is a bit different. We’ve all heard the spiritual aphorism “it’s all one.” And we gloss over it because it’s been said so many times. But if it is true, then everything really is ONE thing. And if I’m praying, to whom am I praying? The Universe? God? Higher Power? But if it’s all One, then I’m simply praying to ME. And I’m praying every second of every day of my life. And look at my life! A perfect reflection of my prayers.

I’m way over simplifying things, and not being as clear as I would like to because I want to keep this short, but I think you get the idea. Just some thoughts to add to the discussion. Be well! Namaste.

Shilpan

Thanks for your work – I look forward to reading and commenting more.

Lisa

Evelyn

Thank you, Jenny. Yes, that written invitation would be great! Oh well … It’s great that you’re willing to throw out your original plans … that leaves so much more room for Spirit to assist! It’s when we think we know exactly how it should all unfold that we close ourselves off to spiritual assistance.

Dean – YES! We absolutely have to ASK! Thank you for making that point – SO important.

Slade – Thank you! I love that – “Some Assembly Required!” So true! I’m with you on the timing … if I make a request, I just keep my eyes peeled for whatever might come my way. Since I make a request pretty much daily, I’m always vigilant, really. Sometimes it makes sense, sometimes it doesn’t – but in retrospect, I’m always amazed at how well things work out, even without the instruction manual. It truly is like a giant puzzle piece. One piece at a time, we assemble the puzzle, and only at the end when we can step back in hindsight do all the little miracles along the way really become apparent.

Evelyn – You’re right, on the surface it looks very confusing, right? The secret is to NOT try to figure it out until all the pieces of that puzzle are assembled. Like Slade said, we just keep collecting bits and pieces. Until we have them all, we can drive ourselves nuts trying to conceive of the big picture. I recommend working under the assumption that ALL prayers are ALWAYS answered. If you use that perspective, you’ll be surprised at how much you noticed. Most people don’t have that expectation, and miss a lot of what comes their way!

Victoria – So glad this was timely for you! It truly is amazing how many wonderful things can come our way if we’re willing to move forward from where we are now and embrace change. Sounds like you are setting clear intentions and allowing for lots of assistance to come in …

Lesley – What a great story! You’re right, I think we do get so many inspirations and positive nudges along the way. I do think a lot of our struggle to get to where we are going comes from attachment – we think we know what kind of package we “should” get and when, and we put up an awful lot of resistance sometimes. I guess part of our journey is opening up more and more to possibility and letting go of attachment … and it certainly sounds like it’s brought you to an awesome place!

Thank you all so much for your comments!!!

Andrea
