Forgiveness, Part 11 (Conclusion)

Now I want to give you a gift today. I want to go into a quiet meditation and we’re going to release everything and let go. I believe in giving. So I want you to close your eyes and I want you to breathe deeply and just listen to what your heart’s telling you. And I’m asking, “Dear God I ask the Angels and their Loved Ones on the other side to surround them with love and light and help them through the process of forgiving.”

Have forgiveness; feel the forgiveness in your heart for anything you think you’ve done wrong. Quiet your thoughts. Forgive yourself for all past hurts and pains; they are now long gone, no longer holding to you. Your angels are standing behind you, holding you with their wings, surrounding you with love. They’re releasing all the anger and the hate from you. Feel yourself become lighter as they take it from you. Understand you’re a different person now. Now you’re a person that forgives. Feel that forgiveness filling you and wrapping you with a sense of warmth and ease.

Take a minute and think of your parents. Forgive them for anything you have ever blamed them for. Understand that they too are different now. Let this forgiveness fill them up whether they’re in living or spirit. Surround them with love knowing in your heart that this is your most wonderful way to togetherness with your parents. A gift you give them and yourself.

Think of all the people nearest and dearest to you. Now forgive them for anything that you think they have done wrong or are doing wrong at this time. Fill them with your forgiveness. True forgiveness comes from your heart chakra into their heart chakra. They’re going to feel this and they will accept this whether they’re here or in spirit. Just let that forgiveness from your heart fill them. Realize that this is your expression of love to them.

Now think of your greatest friends. Forgive them for anything you dislike about them. Let your forgiveness reach out to them. Fill in your hearts and soul. They are embracing it now.

Think of the people you know, whoever they might be, and forgive them for whatever it is that you have blamed them for, that you have judged them for; that you dislike them for. Feel the forgiveness from your heart entering their heart, surrounding them, making them whole.

Now take a moment and think of a special person in your life who might really need you to forgive them. Toward whom you still, right now, have resentment for, rejection for, dislike for. Forgive them fully. Let this forgiveness come from your heart; reach out to that person complete and totally. Forgive them.

Now think of any person, situation, or group of people who are condemning, blaming, disliking. Could be different religious people. Could be the government. Let your forgiveness be your expression of unconditional love. Human beings have issues but we can forgive them for things. Forgiveness is an order for purity and love.

Now put your attention back on yourself and recognize all the goodness within you. Forgive yourself for anything that you think you’re doing wrong or anything you felt you have done hurtful or sad or you’re feeling. Your Angel is hugging you so tight and taking away all the negativity out of you. Feel the love they send through to you. You are now a vessel of God’s love and light. You are worthy of being forgiven. It is a gift you give yourself.

Recognize the beauty and goodness in you, the effort you are making today to forgive. Feel the warmth and ease that comes through your very soul-being as you experience into forgiveness. It is your birthright. May you now feel the forgiveness gift in your heart. May you now know that you are blessed. The negativity left. Take your angels with you and know that anytime you need to practice this forgiveness to someone else or yourself, just quiet your thoughts for a few minutes and send the forgiveness love from your heart to them, or the situation, and it shall be done.

Now, when you’re ready, you can open your eyes. Feel the love of all around you. And know that all is well in your world. Why? Because it’s your world and from this day forward you will choose it to be the best world that you want it to be.

Forgiveness, Part 10

It’s so silly. Learn the art of emotional detachment. Love and let go. And take the gift as yourself of knowing that you live in peace and harmony and you’ve created the life that you want. If we all practice that from a little age on wouldn’t we be a better place? It’s like when I was five I would say, “You know what? I think animals are the superior race.” And my dad was raised Southern Baptist and my mom Roman Catholic and they’d be, “What are you talking about?” I said, “They all get along.” They don’t say, “Your God is better than my God.” They don’t say, “Your way’s better than my way.” They don’t hold anger and not forgive you because something happened. They let go and let God. They drink at the waterhole all together. And then when a lion needs a meal the gazelle gives up his life. The lion doesn’t say to you “Forgive me for eating you.” And the gazelle doesn’t say, “Do you forgive me for not having enough meat on my body?” I mean it’s just the way it is; it’s the circle of life. We should all look toward that.

And when you look at life as an adventure and each day the choice is yours for the emotions you want to feel, for the happiness you have. Trust me, when you start having a forgiving heart the people that are crabby and negative, they don’t want to be around you. They like to be the drama queens and kings. They like to be the negative. And when you’re in those kind of friendships you say, “I’m out of here,” because they’ll drag you right down. So forgive everyone, forgive everything, and know that you make your own life ‘cause all is well in your world. Why? Because it’s your world and you choose it to be.

August 15, 2007

Forgiveness, Part 9

Forgiveness is a daily practice of choosing—choosing there’s that word “choice”—to avoid harsh judgment or resentments for yourself and others. Each day, as you get up, choose to leave mistakes and misunderstandings in the past. Hey, that’s where they belong. Why would you want to bring it into your world now? Start each day choosing to live in an atmosphere of harmony and Divine love. Remember, it’s always choice not chance that makes your destiny and the choice truly is yours.

I see Loved Ones on the other side and when they come in they’re so sad about how they died, about how they let us down. The greatest gift you give someone when they’re terminally ill is permission to die and really mean it. The next greatest gift is you forgive them for anything and everything and you go on to live your life to be happy. No one in my office that comes in there that has talked to someone on the other side, I’ve got the dead on the other side saying, “Will they forgive me for dying and for what I was like?” I’ve got the person on this side saying to me, “Do they forgive me because I said this to them one day or I didn’t tell them I loved them. I didn’t do this for them.” Or, “I put my mother in a home does she forgive me?”

And then I’m sitting in the middle as a medium thinking, “Boy, this really stinks.” This is word we’ve got to get out of our vocabulary ‘cause I don’t know if you know how a medium works. I’m getting it from this side. I’m getting the emotions from the other side. Sometimes I go home and I say, “Man I got to throw up. I need a hug.” It’s like this forgiveness stuff. And there’s not one person that doesn’t say that. So it is a gift you give to yourself.

When my daughter died my Angel said, “You’re forgiven. You’re going on.” They said—I’m not a perfect mother I did the same thing, I said, “Does she forgive me for this? Does she forgive me for that? When she was five I didn’t let you have this”—and my angel said, “Enough. She’s feeling all that on the other side. Your friends around you are feeling all this energy you’re giving off and beating yourself up.”

Forgiveness, Part 8

As you forgive you move forward to brighter days and better times in your life. When you express forgiveness you gain peace of mind and walk more in harmony with yourself and the world around you. Everybody is connected whether we like it or not: God, the Angels, the trees, our grandbabies, our kids, the animals. So if we’re all connected, if one of you guys are having this nasty, unforgiving attitude day on somebody, we all have to have a piece of that. Now I don’t know about you guys. I don’t mind getting up and have a crabby day if it’s only affecting me but I don’t want to be accountable to my Angels and Guides saying, “Okay look. You’re toxic to the world around you because you have this negative attitude.” Trust me then when you get to the other side you have to account for those days that you did that to the whole world at large. So you’re better off to forgive and get on with it.

When you make the choice to give up hurt feelings and angry thoughts, you open up your soul for more joy and happiness and you attract more joy and happiness to you. No one can make you feel anything you really do not want to feel in your life, now can they? Learn the art of emotional detachment. My Angels have taught me that we should get up each day and say this statement and really mean it. I get up and say, “All is well in my world because it’s my world and no one can make it an unhappy one for me unless I allow them to.” If someone does something to hurt you it can only hurt you if you let it. So why would you waste your time and energy? The choice really is your own. And you don’t want to live with emotions that are negative it’s toxin and it makes you physically, emotionally, and spiritually sick. So the gift you give yourself is letting go.

August 01, 2007

Forgiveness, Part 7

You also need to know that if you don’t forgive somebody, you take it over to the other side with you if you’re angry here. The greatest thing, people will come into my office and there’ll be someone on the side and they’ll go, “I don’t want to talk to that person. My father sexually abused me.” Or, “My mother was an alcoholic; she never had anything to do with me.” Well, the greatest thing you can do for that person is forgive them because when they get to the other side, guess what? They have to hang around you on the other side to try to make you to forgive them. So if you don’t want them in your energy vibration you get on your knees and you say, “God, I forgive them for everything ‘because I’m not holding that to me.” Otherwise they’re walking around, and you know who’s the first thing you’re going to see when you get to other side? It’s not going to be that great loved one that you want to meet. It’s that person saying, “Do you forgive me? I was so bad.” And then you have to work through the eternity part with them. I don’t want to be in that spot. I’d rather be with my daughter, and my mountain lion, and all my animals on the other side than somebody that hurt me in the living that they have to work with that when I get to other side. So don’t think you get out of it just because they’re dead. So the greatest gift if you have anybody here that is on the other side and had hurt you, let them go because they’re hanging around you right now saying, “Please forgive me. Please forgive me. Please forgive me.” So it’s a gift that you give yourself.

When you forgive you allow the Divine love to move through you and release you from the burdens of all negativity. This will lift you up in spirit. It might help to know that forgiveness is not something you give somebody else, guys. It’s the gift you give to yourself. Because if you can’t forgive somebody you’re holding all that negativity in; you’re being crabby; your aura’s going yuck, yuck, yuck; everybody you’re around you’re toxin, you’re a toxic person. It’s like when you go to a party and someone all their talking about is the negative of the world, blah, blah, blah, my husband this, my blah, blah, blah. What do you do? You avoid that person like the plague, don’t you? You know why? Because they’re toxin to you, to your soul, to your energy, and to the world around you. You don’t want to be in that negativity. So it’s a gift you give yourself. You just say, “I forgive. I let go ‘cause it’s your issue.”

Trust me, whether they get it in this lifetime, what goes around always comes around; they’ll get to the other side and they’re going to have to deal with it anyway. So I look for the positive gift that I get out of when someone has hurt me even if it’s just to say, “I don’t have to be like them. I don’t have to be like them.”

Forgiveness, Part 6

When my daughter died—I will share with you—the pharmacy gave her the wrong prescription. And wouldn’t you say that’s a lot to be ticked off about?

And people would say, “Okay, I’m going to get an attorney and I’m going to sue that pharmacist that took my daughter’s life.” I went inside and I asked, “What should I do?” I didn’t see that pharmacist; it was a prescription called in from one pharmacy to the other. I knew that it was written wrong after I checked in hindsight. But my Angel says, “Forgive him. He’s made a mistake. Now you decide what you want to do to make good out of this, Carrie.”

So I went to the pharmacist and I talked to him. I said, “I could take your license. I could shut you down. I could show the police and stuff everything on this bottle, what happened.” I said, “But would that make another life better? That would devastate my life and devastate yours too, wouldn’t it? You have a family; I know it was a mistake.”

By doing this and talking to him I really believe that man, within his heart, made sure that no other prescription ever came out of that place bad. If he had to stay till midnight to make sure it was done, if he made his staff double check. So how many lives might I have saved by being forgiving and for knowing that everything happens according to God’s plan? And maybe I was the person to lose a child that way so someone else didn’t that maybe it would have devastated them. So don’t think I just talk the talk and don’t walk the walk about forgiving. I think that’s a pretty big thing to forgive for, isn’t it?

July 18, 2007

Forgiveness, Part 5

So it serves no purpose. And I’m really working on that for the last two years, if we all did that this would be a better place. When you’re able to let go and forgive you are acknowledging that God is in charge, not you. It’s like that bumper sticker that says, “God is my copilot.” When I was little I’d always laugh, I’d say, “If God is your copilot why would you NOT want Him driving? I’d want Him in my front seat. I’ll sit in the backseat and go for the ride!”

Then when you let go and God is totally in charge, you begin to allow Divine love to flow through you and from you in all the words and actions. I mean people will say to me, “Carrie, you’re such an innocent soul.” I’m like a child, what you see is what you get. I mean how I live my life: I laugh, I play, I giggle. People will laugh about my sermons being so funny. Well, it’s living. That’s what we’re here to do. You come to earth; you learn that educational process—the art of emotional detachment. Then you see these people—the drama queens and kings—and it’s, “If only I could get through my husband losing his job, I’ll have a life. If only I could get through my kid being on drugs, man I’ll really have my life. If only I can get through my sister-in-law calling all the time because she has cancer, whining, I’ll have my own life.” Well, listen guys. That is life. It’s how you deal with it.

You wouldn’t be sitting in this audience; you wouldn’t be one this earth plane if you had worked through all these emotional things. You’d be up in Heaven and you sure wouldn’t be wanting to come back; you’d learn the art of emotional detachment. So living life is people get sick, people tick you off, and people do things that we don’t like. But the choice is how are we going to deal with it? Remember, all is well in our world right? Because it’s our world and we create it to be any way we want it to be. And I just don’t talk the talk and walk the walk.

July 11, 2007

Forgiveness, Part 4

Forgiveness is one of the toughest emotions and we have to learn to let go of it. It serves no purpose. When I see my clients in my office, no matter who is on the other side: from a stillborn baby to a puppy to somebody’s husband to a child that died in a tragic accident, the first thing they ask me to ask the person sitting in the chair for a reading is, “Do you forgive me? Forgive me for dying? I’ve let you down.” Isn’t that sad that we take that word and that emotion to the other side in the higher realms? “Do you forgive me for dying? Because I know you miss me.”

So that’s an emotion we all ought to just take out of our vocabulary. And if you really listen to the declarations you say here you don’t do anything to hurt anybody else. Especially none of us here, I’m looking out, no one does it intentionally. And when someone hurts you, my Angels have told me that is the greatest gift in the world they give us. If they treat us badly, or they cut us off in traffic, or they were physically abusive to us that’s a gift to us, look at that gift because we learn from that.

We’re to learn the art of emotional detachment that, “Hey, I can only get upset with that if I take it into my own heart and that’s your issue.” That’s where we learn unconditional love. What do you learn from someone that was not nice to you? Well, you sure learn you don’t want to be like that, right? Sometimes that’s the gift: “I don’t want to be like that crabby old father of mine,” or “I don’t want to be like that husband who’s judging everybody.” We come to the earth. We do have to love everybody. We have to not judge anybody. But, we don’t have to like them and do lunch with them if they’re negative. And the choice really is ours isn’t it?

July 04, 2007

Forgiveness, Part 3

I had a good friend of mine named Magda—most beautiful lady in the whole world—she came to me as a client many years ago. And all she always wanted to talk about, for five years, was, “I really wish I could die and go to be with my husband Joseph. I just want to die.”

She had a hip surgery and I seen her during her surgery. She did go to be with Joseph and I’m in a vision with her and she’s in front of the church. And in my vision I’m sitting—and she’s under, so she’s really out of her body in this church—lighting candles. And my angel says, “You can’t tell her to die. She has to do that herself.”

And I don’t know what happened. She was just so fearful she came back in her body through her hip surgery. And I told her, I said, “You had this dream. And you were saying help me make the decision.” And she said that yeah, the doctor said all she was yelling was “Help me!” And they’re saying, “I’m helping you! I’m helping you, Magda!” And she just wanted me to make the decision for her. And I said, “You know what? I can’t tell you to go. You had to make the decision yourself.”

Well, here she was, her dog had died. She really didn’t feel she had anything to live for, which is a selfish thing; she could have gotten out and helped other people. She just wanted to go. Finally, she got very sick and she was in the hospital for weeks. And I went to her and I said, “It’s okay to go now. Your husband’s here. Your Angels are here.” She said, “Yeah, I know. I see them but I’m waiting for the “White Light”—and I’m afraid of that—to go.”

And I kept on it and I thought, “There’s something missing. Something missing because she is not going”. Come to find out she had a beautiful housekeeper named Donna that said, “Magda needed to see all these friends.” She had many friends that she had pissed off and they’d pissed her off. So she was a type woman if you said something bad, “I’m not having anything to do with again. That’s it. You’re not my friend no more. That’s it. It’s finished.”

Well the housekeeper said, “I decided that I’m going to call all these friends in to her deathbed whether she likes it or not—if God’s going to be ticked at me later on, on the other side, then God’s going to be ticked at me—but something’s holding her.” I said, “Well there are only a couple people that I know that Magda upset about.” She goes, “Oh, no! There’s this whole list.” There are these ten people that she had just told them to get out of her life, blah, blah, blah. And they were her good friends and then something they said upset her and she would just be stubborn and tell them good bye.

So they called these people in and Donna called all these people to her beside and she asked them for forgiveness, which made me cry; she couldn’t even die without asking them to forgive her for what she had said. She was so afraid of death, and going to the other side, and being judged or whatever without making peace with these people.

Now that was a gift not just to her but to the people that were upset with Magda for the way that she treated them. And it wasn’t even two days after that she passed with a peaceful look. She needed then, on her deathbed—which she wouldn’t ask me and she wouldn’t be headstrong enough to tell Donna, “I need to talk to these people,” she carried that and on her deathbed was afraid of dying. And was so darn stubborn she wouldn’t even call these people or ask us to call these people. And then she was able to die in peace.

Forgiveness, Part 2

We choose to spiritually feel it or not. So if we choose to feel it, isn’t that kind of silly? Because if someone makes you angry, it’s only because your ego is talking and it’s saying, “I can’t control what that person thinks. I can’t control what that person has done. So I’m going to be pissed off and angry about it.” Well, do you like feeling angry and crabby? Because it sure doesn’t hurt the person you’re ticked off about, not one bit. They do not care. Trust me. If they cut you off in traffic and you’re rambling on, they don’t care. If your husband’s an alcoholic and said something bad to you, do you think he cares the next morning really what he said? No. So why would you take it so personally? You have to learn what I’m teaching my grandchildren. I tell them, my little Kendall since she was three, I would say, “All is well in your world, Kendall.” She’ll say, “Oh no. I had a bad day. Someone at school didn’t even want to talk to me.”

“No, all is well in your world Kendall. Why? Because it’s your world. And you choose to make it any way you want.” So why would you choose anything negative. I get up each morning and I make a conscience choice to say, “All is well in my world.” And we’re going to talk about that later on today. At the end of my sermon, my Angels have guided me to do a small meditation with you so you can get rid of everybody that you can’t forgive. And you can get rid of all the people you don’t like. And you can get rid and forgive all the political things. But most of all you’re going to be able to forgive yourself. I don’t think a good sermon should be me telling you what to do. I think you ought to go inside and do it yourself.

What is forgiveness? I feel “forgiveness”; it’s a healing journey for both the body and the soul. Sometimes, in one’s heart, you know that you want and need to forgive someone but you just feel it’s too difficult. You need to know that you really can’t move forward in your soul progress until you can forgive. And the main thing is not even to forgive others but to forgive yourself. We’re so hard on that.

June 20, 2007

Forgiveness, Part 1

I have to tell you today that I’m laughing ‘cause when Jeff asked me to come speak today—he always gives me the sermon and usually it’s about Loved Ones on the other side, and Angels, and guides ‘cause it’s my specialty—but when he told me the topic was on forgiveness I had to laugh. Because for the last two years I have actually practiced what the Golden Rule says, “Do unto others as you would want them to do unto you.” If you do that you don’t have anything to ever be forgiven for, do you?

And if we really listen to the principles that we’re going through here each week, we would never have something that we have to do that should be forgiven for, would we? So we should really think about that and to our own self be true. Now I’m going to talk a little bit about forgiveness.

We come to earth. It is an educational process. And I preach this over and over and teach this to my clients. And I’m teaching it to my granddaughters. I’ve even written a book for children so that when they’re little they don’t have to have the blocks of this. You really think about, we come to earth and we’re to learn the art of “Emotional Detachment”. So that means while we’re in this physical body—which sometimes we get upset at because we’re fat, or short, or whatever—no one can make us angry, sad, lost, lonely, disappointed, grief stricken, any of those emotions, can they? That’s a choice.

Creating a Happy Home Using Feng Shui, Part 3

HOW TO ATTRACTING ABUNDANCE USING THE FLOW OF WATER

One of the most important uses of feng shui is the use of flowing water. The constant flow of water in your home or office placed in the right location brings wealth into ALL areas of your life. Having a constant flowing fountain is a must for all homes and work spaces. You can place a fountain in any area of your home except the bedroom. Another thing to have in your home or office to attract wealth would be a fish tank with gold fish in it because the color gold is a symbol of wealth. It is important to make sure your toilets are in good working order. If it runs all the time it will bring the chi energy of your abundance being flushed down the drain all the time. The same goes for Leakey faucets. Hanging picture of waterfalls and oceans will also attract prosperity into your home or office.

See the art of Feng Shui can be as easy a coloring your front door or buying a fish tank. Why not get started and bring new Positive Chi energy coming into your home or office?

Creating a Happy Home Using Feng Shui, Part 2

DOUBLE YOU’RE WEALTH THROUGH THE USE OF MIRRORS.

Mirrors are a valuable potent feng shui tool. Mirrors reflect images so they will double what ever you want to attract into your space. Let’s say you want to attract more money into your life. You could put coins or dollar bills on or in front of a mirror. Maybe you would like to more love in your life. Put a picture of the opposite sex in front of a mirror. At my office I have a mirror behind my cash register to attract more money.


ATTRACTING LOVE INTO YOUR LIFE USING FENG SHUI

A way to attract love into you life using feng shui would be to match up items in your bed room. For instance, never have one picture place two pictures next to each other. Place as many objects as you can in your bedroom into pairs. Another way of attracting love to you would be to light two pink candles in front of a mirror that had a picture of a couple on it. Pink is the color of love. If you wanted to attract more passion in your life light two red candles instead of the pink ones .


NEVER place a fountain of running water in a bedroom as it will send the flow of love out the room. Ok, if you want to have a person leave your life then it might be good to have in your bedroom. Using fragrances like rose and jasmine in the bedroom will also attract love to you.

Creating a Happy Home Using Feng Shui, Part 1

CREATING A HAPPY HOME USING FENG SHUI

Using Feng Shui to create a happy home or work space can be fun. Feng Shui is the placing of object or using colors to attract good chi energy into spaces we occupy. The use of powerful feng shui formulas can improve all areas or your life. It can even maximize good fortune and avoid bad luck. Here are some fun and simple ways to apply feng shui into your spaces.


THE MAIN DOOR;

One of the most powerful feng shui features to have in any home or office is a personalized main door. Here is where you want to bring the good chi energy into your home or office. To attract good chi energy into your home the door should have a roof. It should be made of solid wood with some metallic trimmings. The stronger the door is, the better the protection of the people inside. The main door should also open inward to welcome the good chi energy into your home or office…

A red door will bring abundance and also protecting to the home or office. The Chinese consider a yellow door inviting to the chi energy also. Keep clear any clutter from blocking the flow of Chi to the entrance of your home or office. You should stand in front of you entrance door and make sure nothing blocks it. Having a light above or next to the door will help illuminate the energy coming into the space.

The outside door is a link between your hoe or office and the outside world. Make it inviting to the Blessed Chi energy you want to enter your home or work space.

Marriage . . . Barbie & Ken Style, Part 2

One of the exercises I give my clients before they get married is I ask them to write down on paper what they REALLY need in a relationship to make it work for them. I tell then to be honest and not worry about hurting their partner’s feelings. Then I ask them to exchange papers to see how they relate to each other and if they feel their marriage can full fill those needs in each of them. I also give them an exercise to write a paper on what they feel marriage is to them. Doing this type exercise before couples get married gives the couple a better understanding of what to expect in the marriage.

Marriage . . . Barbie and Ken Style, Part 1

Many times during my spiritual counseling I have found that many marriages could have been made better and bad marriages could have been avoided if people had a better understanding of what they themselves needed in a committed relationship to make it work for them.

Too often people fall in love and think that things they do not like in a partner will magically disappear once they tie the knot. They fall into what I call the Barbie and Ken syndrome. Following a path of UN written rules that seems to be social acceptable in our society: The marriage dream.


1. Date for a certain period of time.

2. Next, it’s time to get engaged.

3. Get married and start your family.

Then they wake from the dream and realize that maybe this was NOT what they wanted. When they first fell in love they did not take the time to really think about what THEY needed in a committed relationship to make the relationship work for them. They focused on what their partner needed and worked on full filling those needs.

This is not work and is needed to make a marriage work, but you also need to have your own needs met, or there will come a time in the relationship where resentment starts to set in.

The Story of Hercules, Part 11 (Conclusion)

At that point, I'd actually seen St. Francis standing there. I saw him as I’m looking at the microphone here today. My daughter was there. A few of the beloved pets that I had let go before were there, and Hercules made his walk across the Rainbow Bridge.

He looked back and chirped, as he always did to me, and I told him, “My beloved friend, you and my daughter, Jennifer, you and your sister,” I said, “You wait for me and I will be there when my time has come to be there.”

I hugged him and cried and told him I loved him again and told him to be happy and I thanked him for all the lessons that he had given me, for all the unconditional love he had given me, and for the choice for him to finally leave his body to go across the Rainbow Bridge to make his transition, so that my heart and my soul would not have to see him aching any longer.

Then I kissed him and I thanked God for taking care of him. I hugged him one more time, and that is how my Hercules made his transition into the afterworld and across the Rainbow Bridge.

I want you to know that many times in my dreams and visions, I see him come running across the Rainbow Bridge toward me. I see him come toward me with my daughter, Jenny. They’re together. They’re happy, and I know without a shadow of a doubt, when my time comes to leave this earthly plane, he will be standing right there waiting for me. He will walk me across the Rainbow Bridge, and he and I will never be parted again.

I hope with me telling you this story it helps you understand that animals are loved, that they do have souls, that they’re as much beloved by Father and the universe as we are, and that when you have a pet that you love so dearly, they know that they are loved, and that when you, too, ever have to make the decision to let them go across the Rainbow Bridge, to put them to sleep, it is the greatest gift you could give them, for they will suffer no longer.

And for you also to know that they hear you when you are helping them make their transition, so tell them they’re loved. Tell them you’ll miss them and tell them how happy you are for them that they are free of pain of their earthly body.

The Story of Hercules, Part 10

Finally, with a stern voice, a loving voice, I said, “My Hercules, my beloved mountain lion, I cannot see you in such pain. The pain you are causing me now to see you with the physical body that causes you so much pain, I cannot bear. You must go across the Rainbow Bridge. You must take care of my beautiful daughter, Jenny, and you must wait for me there until I come, and then you and Jenny will come for me.”

I told him I loved him. I gave him his shot. The shot, the first one was to kind of to relax him. He went off into a deep sleep, but he was not gone yet. During that time, I hugged him and cried and told him I loved him, so I want all of you to know that’s had to make this decision for your own beloved pets, this time is very special, the few minutes before they make their transition to the Rainbow Bridge.

He heard me tell him I loved him. He heard me tell him how much he meant to me. He was right by my side in spirit during that time. I want you to know, he looked healthy. He looked young. He looked vibrant. My angel David stood by my side and said, “Look, beautiful mother, look at how young and healthy he is. That should make your heart feel happy.”

I said, “David, I am happy for my beloved Hercules that he is free from pain, that he is able to run, that he has no boundaries on this earth plane, that he can run in the mountains like we did in meditation. He can fly. He can swim in the ocean.”

The Story of Hercules, Part 9

As I went to give him the shot, he reached back and pulled away from me. He told me he loved me. I said, “I love you, too, my beautiful child.” It was at that time that I called my daughter Jennifer in. I called the angels in, and I said, “Jennifer.”

I saw her in front of me in a vision, and I said, “Please. Take beautiful Hercules with you across the Rainbow Bridge, for I love him dearly, and I cannot bear to see him suffer. I will miss him dearly. It will be hard for him to leave, because he loves me unconditionally, but he knows you, Jenny. You’re his sister. Please take him.”

We started our meditation and I took his hand again, and as we started going out of our body, he was running after my daughter, Jenny. I saw her running in fields of flowers and there was a stream and the Rainbow Bridge, and Hercules was running after her.

Often, when they were both in the living, he would chase after her and they would play in this manner. As he got just about to the top of the Rainbow Bridge, he looked back and he said, “Are you coming with us?”

As always, before this journey, I had gone with him in all of my meditations, but I knew that I could not go with him this time. It was the walk he had to walk alone. Well, not alone. Jenny was with him.

At that point in time, I said, “Hercules, I’ll come find you later. Go take care of Jenny and play with her.” He knew what this meant and he jerked back in his body. At that point, the angels came for him and they came close to his soul.

I could see them hover over him as I prayed to please make his transition easy. The funny thing is he bit at his own chest, as if to say to the angels, “Stay away.”

April 18, 2007

The Story of Hercules, Part 8

As I went downstairs, Hercules knew this. As he and I are so in tune, he always felt my emotions. He heard my thoughts. He knew all about me, so he knew what was coming, which was even harder for me.

I put on my meditation music, as I had done when we had meditated many times. On that day, it was a Good Friday, and I thought, “How flirtatious that Hercules is going to go into the heavenly realm and across the bridge on a Good Friday, a spiritual day.”

I went downstairs and I put on our favorite meditation music, the music that he and I had meditated to for 13 years every morning when we started our meditation and prayer. He tried to crawl over to me, and he put his paw in mine.

Tears were streaming down my eyes. I sang to him songs. He and I had always sung songs. I sang to him, “I love you,” the Barney Song, all the songs that I had sang to him since he was a little cub, a beautiful little child, just like I did when my daughter passed. I sang her songs to help her transition to the other side.

He says to me, “Mother, what is death?” I said, “Hercules, you know what death is. It’s when the soul leaves the body.” He says to me, “Mom, the soul leaves the body when its job is finished, and even though I am in such pain, I don’t feel my job is finished. I love you dearly and I’m here to take care of you. Who will take care of you when I’m gone?”

I told him that he will never be gone. He knew that through our meditations, we had often left our body and played together in the astral plane and different places and that he knew that he would always be near me.

April 11, 2007

The Story of Hercules, Part 7

During the last few months before Hercules’ death, he was getting tired. I could see it. He was aching. He would tell me as he walked up the stairs or around the house that his legs ached. I guess animals get arthritis, too, but he’d always say, “My job is to take care with you, to stay with you, to give you strength, and to love you, and I will never leave you.”

On the day that it was time for Hercules to walk across the Rainbow Bridge for good, it saddened my heart. It was, I believe, 2003 on Good Friday. I’d gone down to let him out of his special cage. He wasn’t on top of his perch. He had a beautiful platform that he would lay on and watch TV and hug his beloved ALF. He was underneath it.

As I looked down, I saw that there was blood coming from his paw. I said, “Hercules, are you okay?” He said, “Mom, my head hurts. It hurts so bad that I tried to comfort myself by sucking my paw and it always brought me comfort, but the pain was so bad that I bit through my paw and I’m hurting. I’m hurting.”

I cried and called the vet. The vet came out and said, “My dear, it is time for you to make the decision to let your beautiful beloved Hercules go, and I must also tell you that I cannot be the one that gives him the shot that takes him across the Rainbow Bridge. You’ll have to do that, for even though, he is hurt, he has something wrong with his brain. It is hurting and he may try to attack me”

It is the humane thing to do that many animals love us so unconditionally they will stay in a body that is painful, that causes them pain so they won’t leave us, because they know when they leave, we will cry and miss them, so they will stay in a body that makes them painful just so they don’t let us down.

April 04, 2007

The Story of Hercules, Part 6

He was what kept me going when my daughter died. When my beautiful Jennifer went into her heavenly realm, Hercules kept me going. As I was able to talk to animals, he would tell me, “Do not cry. I will always be with you. No one can take care of me like you. I love you. I’ll always be here for you.”

It was a wonderful thing at that time, because, as most mothers or fathers do when they lose a child, we’re so saddened. We want to be with them. Our thoughts say, “I wish I could go with them.”

Hercules would remind me that I had jobs to do down here, and that I had to take care of him and love him, and talk to my clients and help them through their grief. Every morning he would remind me of that.

During our meditation, I would often see my daughter in front of us playing. During meditation, Hercules and I often went across the Rainbow Bridge and played in fields and swam in oceans together spiritually, so it was a wonderful time for both of us.

March 28, 2007

The Story of Hercules, Part 5

He loved helium balloons, so I used to get him one on a regular basis. Believe it or not, he would hold the string in his mouth and parade the balloon around the house so proud.

I used to buy him little children’s tents. Well, he was awful big. He’d get in the tent. His head would stick out one side and his tail out the other and he’d stand up and parade himself proudly around the house in these tents.

So, for the first hour when Hercules and I shared our special time together walking around my home together, it was always playtime. Then, it was time to get serious. We would settle down. I would be in a meditated state, whether it was in the middle of my living room, or on my screened-in porch looking out at nature.

Hercules would get a soft, breathing purr, almost in sync with mine, and he and I would pray to God and the angels, and I would get many of my lessons. I would ask God to bring me the messages for the clients that I would see during that day.

Hercules was also known as my animal totem. The Indians say we have an animal totem that comes to earth with us and we learn from that animal. My angel David said that Hercules and I had walked many, many lifetimes together on this earth plane, and yes, he was my animal totem.

Every animal carries an energy with it and a spiritual gift that it brings to us, whether it be a beloved pet or an animal we see outside. So, when you see an animal, know that’s God and the universe bringing you a blessing and a gift of what that animal, that bird, or that butterfly or bug is bringing to you.

There’s a good book called, Animal Speaks, by Ted Andrew, you can get that will teach you about the animal totems and what it means, if you wish.

Well, Hercules’ animal totem means leadership, so being with Hercules, he was to teach me leadership, and I think he taught me that as I walked along my earthly journey.

March 21, 2007

The Story of Hercules, Part 4

Hercules, from the day I had him, had a habit of holding his paw at his mouth to comfort himself like a child sucking his thumb, and he did it often. I always smiled when he did that. Every morning, Hercules and I would get up at 3:00 a.m. in the morning. Yes, 365 days a year.

Between 2:00 and 5:00 in the morning, the veil is very thin between this world, the spirit world and the angelic world, and it’s easier to communicate with angels and loved ones on the other side at that time. So that is when Hercules, my beautiful mountain lion and I would get up, play with each other and do our special prayers and meditation.

Hercules was a gateway and a connect to me and the angels and loved ones on the other side, as animals are all psychic. Some animals are more intuitive than others. You will all know this. There are certain pets that we can look into their eyes and we know that they almost have human characteristics.

These are animals that are evolved souls, and they’re just in animal bodies. Hercules was such a soul. When we would get up, he would play as a child, so he always reminded me to let the little girl inside myself come off to play.

March 14, 2007

The Story of Hercules, Part 3

My beloved Hercules was very gentle and kind. Even though he weighed 325 pounds when he died, he was a gentle, loving soul. Animals come into the world to teach us things, my angel David said.

My Hercules slept with a stuffed toy every night. It was a stuffed ALF, and he loved it dearly. From that, I learned that, look at the courageous strength that Hercules had, but the gentleness to be so big and to hold the beautiful stuffed toy in his arms as he slept.

How wonderful that is. So, I, too, walk with the strength of holding my head up high when I go through trials and errors and problems in the world, but with a gentleness within my heart, knowing that everything will always be okay.

March 07, 2007

The Story of Hercules, Part 2

My angels tell me that animals are unconditional love. You cannot beat an animal to love you, or buy him the best of everything to make him love you. You have to love an animal from the unconditional love of the depths of your heart and soul.

They feel it and love you back in return. Many people ask me if their beloved pets know that they love them. Of course they do. I have always been able to talk to animals and animals can hear your thoughts and feel your feelings.

The more love you send them, the more they send back. When you’re sad, they know it. That’s why they comfort you and stay so close by your side. When you’re happy, they know it. They love you. All animals are nothing but unconditional love and my angel says we should love them back as so.

February 28, 2007

The Story of Hercules, Part 1

This is my story of my beloved mountain lion, Hercules and the day that he died. First of all, I want to tell you that, as all my angels are standing near me, they want me to tell everybody that you can never, ever own anything that has a soul.

So, an animal or a pet of ours cannot be a possession like a car or a home, for they have souls and they’re all children of God and the universe just like we are.

I know many of you have beloved pets in the living, and many that have had pets that pass over to the other side. My beloved Hercules was like many of your pets. I considered him a child of mine. Yes, he had four legs and a tail, but he was my child just the same.

For many of you, my story of Hercules will touch your heart, as you love your pets as you do your children. Hercules was very special to me. He was not just a beloved mountain lion. He was a soul connect, a spiritual connect, for me.

Many times, we would meditate together and he, too, was able to see the angel David, my guides and even my daughter on the other side. All animals have the ability to see loved ones on the other side and angels and God. When we have the blessing of sharing our life with a pet that we belove and love very much, we are blessed.

Meditating (cont'd)

There are books out there. Get with different groups of people. I tell people and they say I don’t know how to. If you get in a group of even 3 or more people and you meditate each week together on a question, your ability will grow faster 10-fold. When you’re in a group of people, like let’s say you all meditate together once a week. Even if it’s for a half hour, your psychic ability is going to grow faster than someone who’s doing it by themselves. Because when I teach psychic development classes, I used to teach a 4 week class and by the second or third week, everybody in that class was seeing auras, were seeing faces changing, was already performing psychometry and getting the answers, and most of the time they were already talking to the dead. He was in one of my classes and they’re already getting to talk to the dead. They just had to know how to fine-tune it because the group’s energy was there. So like if you are in a group, if you’re getting like psychic development, you’re picking up all of it because your energies are connected. That’s why I’m excited about this psychic development class online. We’re all going to connect. I think we’re going to be able to develop even 100 times faster than if we were by ourselves. So even if you get just a few people each week to develop the ability. I tell people to get a book – like a psychic development book – and tape a program each week or whatever. But the meditation is important. You cannot get to any development state of psychic awareness without the meditation. There is no fast way. Meditation has to be there. You have to do it. That’s your connect with God and your Angels. That’s your connection.

January 06, 2007

Meditating

So learning to fine-tune your abilities. Practice makes perfect. Learn to meditate. You want to learn how to develop your ability. Prayer is talking to God. Meditating is when you quiet your thoughts and listen. I believe everybody should meditate at least a half-hour each day. I get up and I don’t start my day without prayer and meditation. And most people think meditation is that you’re sitting there and you’re astral traveling. The best meditation is just to learn to quiet your thoughts and not hear anything. Learning to focus. Read deeply. Calm your thoughts. Get a meditation tape if your mind wanders so much. People will tell me, “My mind wanders.” And I say, “Always focus on a word that’s important to you.” When I teach meditation class, I say come back to the word “love.” When the mind goes on your shopping list or whatever, come back to the word “love.”

The true meditation is to reach a high state of being at one with everything where actually when you’re breathing, there’s no thoughts that are in your mind at all and you’re connected greatly to God and everything. You’re just totally in a state of awareness where you are one with all. You don’t have any thoughts on your mind. That’s where we try to get to when we meditate. When you want answers in your life, I always say, “Write a question down and then hold the piece of paper when you meditate.” You could do meditation and ask God and your Angels to give you the answer. So I’ll take a piece of paper and I’ll say, “What should I do on this.” And then I’ll ask God and usually the answers I’ve got floating in my head. So you could do meditation with that. But prayer is talking to God and quieting your thoughts so you can listen. And most of us don’t listen very much. It’s like it’s hard to quiet our thoughts with everything. And that means when you do meditation it’s with nobody else around. It’s with no phone, no TV, no radio. Believe it or not, most of my great visions and my stuff used to come in my bathtub because my kids weren’t there. I would have my candle and my music and my door would be locked and it’s like, “Don’t bother mother. This is spiritual time.” Something with meditating in or near water enhances your meditation even better. Sitting in a hot tub of water with the quiet lights, your answers will start coming. So the ability to develop your psychic ability, it’s good to do in water for purification.

Equinox

I want to talk about the Equinox. As you notice, on your flyer you received, there are 2 days a year when day and night are totally imbalanced. They are known as Equinox days. There are as many daytime hours as evening hours. One Equinox day is in the Spring time. There are as many daytime hours as evening. On the Spring Equinox that’s in March, you put your prayers down, you plant your seeds to God and the universe for what you want to bear fruit with in the harvest of the fall. It’s like if you want to have more abundance. Mostly it’s psychic too. Your psychic gifts are opening up more on these 2 days. I put I want to be able to channel deeper. I want to talk to my Angels more. I want to be able to talk to my loved ones. I want to be healing. You put all those thought forms out there on the day of the Spring Equinox. Just think of it as you’re planting seeds of what you want to harvest in your life. And then we work toward those goals. Then the Fall Equinox, it’s the time that you bear fruit. The Fall Equinox is that you start bearing fruit for what you’ve planted seeds. Now even though you guys say well I didn’t plant seeds, in the astral realm and with your Angels and guides, during the March Equinox you planted seeds or you would not be sitting in this office. Because Fall Equinox is a time where the doors open for your spiritual gifts to become very aware to you. More people open up to their psychic ability in September during the Fall Equinox than ever. They start getting clairvoyant. They start getting feelings. They start getting the gift of healing. Sometimes you can run your hands together if you want to be a healer or if you know you’re a healer, you can rub your hands together. Rub your hands together like this everybody and pull them about this far apart and then slowly put them together. You should feel an energy – like an invisible energy wanting to push back. And if you’re a really gifted healer, sometimes you’re way out here. That’s God’s healing working through you. Many people in September were giving the gift of feeling. So if you feel compelled, I’ve heard many healers were given this time. During that time it’s good to thank God for the gifts you’ve already given. But I had this seminar of Psychic development at this time of year because so many people will be opening up to their psychic ability as of this seminar or the September 22nd one of that Fall Equinox. More people will be opening up than ever this year. So we’re developing our ability.

December 29, 2006

Alters (cont'd)

I will tell you, on my alter I have a statute of Mother Mary on it. I have an Angel on it. I have 2 smoky quartzes. If you’re wanting a relationship or if you’re in a strong relationship, it’s good to put 2 of everything. Do the ying and the yang. Like I have 2 crystals on mine. You can put a picture of your family, etc. that you want to pray for. If you are looking for love in your relationship, I always tell everybody that if they don’t have the right mate to write down the numbers 1 to 11 and 11 is the gateway number to the angelic realm and write down the qualities you want in a mate. The 11 most qualities that you want and put it on your alter. I light incense on my alter if I want prosperity, I put an incense of prosperity. If I want love, I’ll do a love incense. I light a candle on there sometimes – on my prayers. When I get up in the morning, I always just say, “Thank you God for all the blessings you’ve given me.” in front of my alter. Sometimes I’ll pray in front of it. If I have a lot of things going on, I’ll say I really need your help right now and I’ll pray and I’ll light a candle. Another way to get rid of negative input as far as psychic development is if you’re feeling drained or you’ve got a lot of nightmares and you’re not feeling good or someone in your life has been projecting a lot of jealousy or negative things, I take a picture of myself. I write on a card, “Dear God, anything that’s directed toward me, Carrie Carter, not for my highest good, be it returned to its source so I am forever free.” And I put my picture on there and I put that card on there. And I burn it for maybe an hour or two for 3 days. Three is a magic number. It represents the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost – the Trinity. And then I burn the paper and I burn my picture and I throw it out and I say, “It’s done.” It always works. There are different colors of candles you can burn for prosperity. Green is like money. Pink is for love. You can burn those on your alter. And it doesn’t have to be a big space. But I always have fresh flowers on my alter because it’s my way of saying, “Thank you. Thank you for being in my life. Thank you God and the Angels. And thank you for everything that you bring to me.” But everybody should think about practicing full moon ceremonies. It doesn’t have to be a big thing. It’s a way of giving thanks and re-energizing yourself.

December 25, 2006

Alters (cont'd)

I will tell you what you can do any time when you’re feeling stuck too. I do a ceremony kind of a Burning Bull Ceremony and it works wonders. You take a piece of paper and you put a line down the middle of it. And on the left hand piece of paper you write down everything you want to get rid of in your life – any negative emotions, any feelings toward other people, anything – and on the right hand side put what you’ve already replaced it with. It’s like you can put I release all credit card debt. I have replaced it with always having cash flow. I release having excess body weight. I replace it with a healthy strong body. Whatever you want to get rid of, you put it on the left hand side of the paper. Whatever you replaced it with, you put it on the right hand side of the paper. Then you look at the paper and you cut it in half. And you go outside and you burn the left hand side of the paper and you say, “God, it’s yours. I no longer carry this with me.” With that statement and that intent, you’re releasing it to God and the Universe, so let it go.

Then you put the right hand side of the paper, you carry it with you and you put it in a spot – you can put it on your alter – and look at it and say, “This is what I am now.” I have cash flow. I have a healthy body. Even what you want for other people. I think this is a great thing to teach children too to be able to let go of the old and to create the new.

December 21, 2006

Alters (cont'd)

On your alter, you can actually write down things that you want for yourself and other people throughout the month. Put it on your alter. Pray on it, and then burn it on your full moon ceremony.

Gentlemen know – spiritual gentleman know that they can write a prayer and you can put it on your alter and it energizes it. And you can make their dreams come true by putting it on the alter. That’s why men are supposed to worship our temple door because we have the spiritual ability. Not because we’re better than the men, just because we have years after years to develop our psychic ability, our Goddess Energy, to be able to connect with God and all that is.

So everybody should go and get some spot that they designate as their alter and put these spiritual things on them. Any questions?

We should be teaching our little girls these things too. It’s the things that you want to manifest.
