Consciousness Known by Rhonda O'Brien

One of my clients was telling me that she healed the Earth. I was immediately intrigued and thought that I needed to do this in my yard. I moved into a new home and did a pretty shotty job of ammending the soil and so my plants were a little slow to grow.

I decided to imagine putting bubbles of energy deep in the soil and then putting energy on top of the soil. I try to remember to do this as often as possible and I send lots of love to my yard as much as possible. It is so easy to be pleased with a flower garden. It doesn't matter how bad your day is when you see a flower bloom for the first time of the season it is like falling in love with nature's beauty time and time again. I love watching my garden grow.

I was pleased with my garden's progression although I didn't know if the energy work was working or not then I noticed my tree. My tree was almost dead when I moved in as were most of the newly planted trees in my neighbor's yard. At one point in the late spring/early summer my aunt and uncle commented that they thought that my tree was dead. At this point we all noticed how my tree and my neighbor's tree only had a few unhealthy looking red/orange leaves sprouting from a few of the branches. Just a few weeks later I noticed that my tree had pulled through and then I looked over at my neighbor's tree and it didn't have any leaves on it in June. Their tree looked dead or close to dead while my tree looked much healthier. I must say my tree still looks sad and pathetic much like a Charlie Brown tree but it didn't die.

I would have to say that the energy work worked! I must, once again, thank my client(s) for all that they have taught me.

I was at a crosswalk and heard a lot of honking. I looked up and saw a car going the wrong way on a major, six lane road. Watching the interaction I was thinking of how nice it would be if life honked at you to warn you that you were headed in the wrong direction. Then I started thinking of a recent reading that I had done in which my client had told me that she just wanted to know if she was headed in the wrong direction or not.

Immediately my head started spinning with memories of times when I had, in fact, been warned that I had been heading the wrong direction. Spirit has a way of communcating to us in a wonderful magnitude of ways; here is a list of just a few instances in which I can see that spirit was trying to warn me or someone else about the direction that I/we had been headed:

1. We were camping in Glacier National Park and as we were checking out this campsite I had an ominous feeling and even mentioned to my campmates that something felt rather like the movie "Deliverance." Then a man on a three wheeler told us to be careful about bears visiting our campsite. Then I had this feeling that we would be visited by bears. What happened that night? A momma and baby cub bear came to visit our camp site.

2. A friend of mine was traveling to Steamboat, CO for the weekend. The day that he left he hit a duck with his car, then at work his colleagues were talking about moose and hitting moose with your car. That night he hit a moose with his car. In retrospect, of course, I can see how hitting a duck and talking about hitting a moose foreshadowed his accident that night and were, in fact, signs of what was to come.

3. I was preparing for a date with a guy and I burned my hand on the stove. I remember thinking that this burn was a sign. When the relationship didn't work out the way that I wanted it to I could see how that was spirit trying to tell me about the nature of this relationship: yes, the burn/way the relationship ended hurt, but now there is barely a scar (just a small reminder of the pain).

4. I was speeding and heard, "slow down." Thankfully, I immediately slowed down because 20 seconds later I passed a cop.

I can think of so many other instances (big and small) in which life/spirit was trying to warn me about going in the wrong direction or at least trying to redirect my path. I feel so much more comforted by the world when I know that I am divinely protected by my loving guides.

Grounding is very important for many reasons. One of the most important reasons for being grounded is so that you are fully aware, present and making the most of this life experience. Life is a gift; it is important to "be here" to enjoy ever single moment of it.

If we are ungrounded some of our experiences tend to be "out there" and it is hard for us to relate or have people relate to us. While being "out there" is enticing and wonderful we do have these precious, few moments here on Earth and we benefit by making the most of this life experience, in these bodies, here on Earth.

The following is an grounding exercise taken from His Words, channeled by Rhonda O'Brien.

Breath is a very easy tool to use to get you into a relaxed state. If you imagine that the breath that you inhale and exhale travels through your body and reaches every particle of your body you are already there. So what I suggest is that you take a deep inhale; make it last as long as you comfortably can.
As you inhale imagine a single molecule of that breath, it can be a bright light, a speck or any sort of shape and form that you can easily and effortlessly imagine, going from your lips and following your trachea and going through your shoulders, down your upper arms and down your lower arms and out through your fingertips. You should then imagine following the same path as you exhale.

With the next inhale you are going to follow that molecule and make it to your neck, your shoulders, your upper chest, your heart, your lungs, your chest, your abdomen, all of your upper and lower intestines and then your reproductive organs.

The more visual you become the easier it is for you to breathe and to relax. You do not need to get too, too technical here. If you don’t know exactly where your ovaries are it is fine. The visualization part is what matters most here. Then you want to imagine that molecule traveling the same path as you exhale and release that breath.

Good job, now we are going to inhale and this time the molecule will rapidly meet your thighs and then travel all the way down to your tippy toes and then right back up. While you are doing this I want you to start thinking of the world, the universe outside of yourself and I want you to be aware of the fact that you are infinitely connected with the rest of the universe outside of yourself. This can just extend to your family and friends or it can expand to the outer universe as far as the eye can see and beyond.

So with your next inhale I am going to have you take that molecule of breath, allow it to flow through your body, down to your toes and then down to the Earth. Depending on how deep your breath is it can reach the topsoil or even as far down as the mantle of the Earth.

Now the challenge is in your next breath you are going to inhale so much oxygen that you can reach the very center of the Earth. So as you are exhaling you are preparing for the gigantic inhale that you are about to take. With one, single breath you are going to pull that single molecule through your trunk of your body, down your legs, out your toes and to the central part of the Earth. Once you are at central part of the Earth you are going to sense, feel or just know that you are connected to the very core of our Mother Earth and then with your exhale you are going to follow that same path through the mantle, crust and up your toes, through your legs and on up your spine through your midriff, your chest, your neck and out through your lips.

So with your next inhale I am going to have you take that molecule of breath, allow it to flow through your body, down to your toes and then down to the Earth. Depending on how deep your breath is it can reach the topsoil or even as far down as the mantle of the Earth.

Now the challenge is in your next breath you are going to inhale so much oxygen that you can reach the very center of the Earth. So as you are exhaling you are preparing for the gigantic inhale that you are about to take. With one, single breath you are going to pull that single molecule through your trunk of your body, down your legs, out your toes and to the central part of the Earth. Once you are at central part of the Earth you are going to sense, feel or just know that you are connected to the very core of our Mother Earth and then with your exhale you are going to follow that same path through the mantle, crust and up your toes, through your legs and on up your spine through your midriff, your chest, your neck and out through your lips.

Good job. Now take a few more shallow breaths to catch your breath. We do not want to pass out. Okay now one more time and then that is all. What you are going to do is connect with the universe outside of yourself and you are going to do so in a manner that only draws in the positive energies that you encounter.

So I will briefly describe what it is that you are to do and then you will follow through with my instructions. So what you are going to do is let go of your breath and allow it to take its own rhythm, relax and enjoy where it can take you but now we are going to be aware of the energy and the life that this breath allows you. Imagine that seed of energy in the pit of your belly or somewhere around your center. Allow it to be a ball of light or some source of energy that feels light, free, refreshing and healing.

Imagine as you are breathing in that cool, refreshing light that that light grows and it grows and it grows as though it were a bubble or a flower or a leaf or whatever image works for you. Imagine that as you breath in and out it grows larger and larger and larger until it is flooding your whole body or being with that light. Now allow it to also grow because light attracts light and now your light is attracting all of the light and the love and the peace that is you and that surrounds you and so your entire being is encompassed by this light and due to its refractive and reflective nature that light becomes so huge that all that you are and all that surrounds you is this light. And it is you. And it is you.

Now sit back and enjoy this light. This is all of the love and the light and the joy and the peace that is you and now it also encompasses the world beyond. Now what you are going to do is draw your attention back into your body, so imagine that bright, large light that encompasses all concentrating itself into a ball about the size of your fist and as you inhale you will gradually bring that ball back and in and to your center. This can take several breaths so breathe in and follow the path through your palette, down your windpipes and on down to your center. This can take as little or as long as you feel necessary.

Now what we also need to do at this point is extinguish anything on the inside or on the outside that is not light so continue to breath in the light and ask that the light naturally follow the path to the spots or the places in your body that might need the light. Now there may not be the need for any light in any place in one’s body and so if that is the case then be grateful. As you exhale ask that the exhale bring anything that is not light to the outside of the body where it instantly becomes light in the presence of all of the light that is reflected and retracted by the light within.

So we are going to sit with this relaxation exercise for a few more minutes. (It really can last as little or as long as you would like). Typically I would wait until you are really feeling relaxed and quite removed from your worries and almost as if you are disengaged from the rambling of the mind. What you want is for the chatter to stop so the vibrations, the naturally occurring airwaves, can be received and heard by the vessel that is you.

Your hands are just like the wheels on a typewriter, they are just responding to the messages or the orders that tell them which letters to strike onto the paper that is yours. It is no more than being a transcriptionist. It is just like you are the receiver receiving the signals that are the air or radio waves.

On the count of ten we are to begin. You can begin to count slowly in your mind, when you get to three you are going to say, is “one is all and all is one,” and then with the pen or pencil in hand you will begin to write. If nothing comes to your mind then ask that the image or the sound or the mark come to you quite easily and without effort and that maybe you will or will not understand its meaning but you will appreciate all that there is.

Some of you may prefer to put your writing utensil in your other hand. This allows the thinking mind to rest as it gets over stimulated and it cannot control the mind, as it is more concerned about writing the letters or creating and its new challenges “at hand.” Whatever you do, whatever method you choose do it with relative ease. While it is tempting to expect great works of art to come through immediate effort it really is not practical to expect so much.

We (each and every one of us) all have spirit guides whose life purpose is to guide and protect us. Use your spirit guides as often as possible.

How do you make contact with your spirit guides?

I strongly recommend reading Sonia Choquette's Ask Your Guides. She has many hints, exercises and meditations that will help you contact your guides on a regular basis.


How do you know which spirit guide you are talking to?

I often talk to my grandpa and grandma so I am already fairly familiar with their energy. My grandpa was not very talkative in real life so when he is around I either feel his hands on my shoulders and/or hear "chiropractor" (he was a chiropractor) and then I know that it is him. With my grandma I either hear the word "grandma" or I hear her voice.

I also see flashes of white lights or subtle energy patterns which make me aware that my guides are trying to talk to me.

Your guides might develop their own, individual ways of getting your attention as well.

PLEASE NOTE: it is very important to know the source of the information that you are getting. I also check the information that I get before I act on most information especially information that prompts me to "go out on a limb." I either draw from my divination cards or I ask for signs.

A single sunbeam is enough to drive away many shadows. ~St. Francis of Assisi

This is the easiest and most critical piece of advice that I can give anyone who communicates with the spirit realm: surround yourself in white light. Darkness is repelled by the light. It is the perfect antidote to darkness and it is so easy.

"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter." Martin Luther King Jr.

My journey as a psychic began with much fear and paranoia. In retrospect, I can see that I have been intuitive all of my life however, my journey to discovering this began at the age of 21 when I got really sick and couldn’t really eat for a month. People talk about the “cleansing” affects of fasting; I think that my non-voluntary fast opened me up a little too quickly for my comfort level.

I remember feeling as though I had walked through a vortex and that my life experience(s) had forever changed. I was instantly aware that there were spirits around me and I could see their energy in a way that I could not describe to others, but I could see that they were around me (it is much like an energy pattern).

I started to meditate and had visions of all sorts. The most profound vision that I had was of an eagle eating my heart out. This experience was so real: I actually felt the eagle sweep down out of the sky and felt the physical pain of having my heart eaten out by an eagle. Yeah…I was a little bit freaked out about this experience.

My fear was exacerbated by the fact that I saw my psychologist write the word “delusional” as I was pouring my heart out to him about my recent experiences. From this point forward I was truly convinced that I was crazy and was often times paralyzed with this fear as I would lay in the fetal position in my bed terrified of being carried away in a straight jacket.

To deal with my fear I started smoking pot 24/7. In my mind it was easier to justify my “craziness” as being “high” rather than be crazy.

Luckily fate intervened and I realized with the help of some amazing teachers that my “delusions” were actually part of being psychic, a gift; not some demoralizing sentence to the madhouse. And then there was...
The moment that I realized that I was psychic I started my mission to help people realize that their visions/experiences were gifts not an assured sentence to the “nuthouse.”

I have remained relatively quiet about my mission up to this point in time. I try to educate as many people as possible about ornery spirits and how to protect themselves from their “trickery.”

I have decided, though, that being a quiet, though diligent messenger is not enough after meeting/doing a reading for a woman whose doctors and herself are convinced that she is crazy because she talks to spirits.

When she asked me about the voices and what they told her all that I could hear was that she wasn’t crazy and that she just didn’t know some basic steps to protect her from the menacing spirits.

I told her that she had a spirit guide that was there to protect her and that she was only to speak to this one guardian spirit. If the other, menacing spirits wanted to talk to her I told her that they were to talk to her guardian angel, not her.

I also told her to protect herself with “white light” as the darker spirits are afraid of the light.

Seeing her pain, seeing how lost she was made me want to reach deeper into hers and other worlds of pain and show people that there are simple tools accessible to all that can and do protect one from the suffering caused by these ornery spirits.

You see, the spirit world, just like this world is filled with confused beings who like to play and mess with us. They are no different than the confused beings that fill the jails and create chaos in our day-to-day lives.
