Spiritual Reflections
When Everything is Out of Balance
Five Consequences of a Life Out of Balance
So many people come to me completely out of balance and not
knowing why. They are tired, drained and completely defeated. I phrase it as
the ‘cups are empty.” When we get into the healing and I begin to do some
digging, I usually discover that the person is extremely giving and is always
doing or giving to others without receiving an equal exchange of balance.
Spiritual laws govern all of creation in the Universe whether
we are aware of them or not. The Law of Balance or Equipoise determines that
all exchanges between people must be given with an equal amount of energy
without the need to justify one’s own actions. Even though you may not be able
to put this law into words, I am sure you can think of a time when you felt
that your well-meant thoughts, words and actions did not receive the
recognition from the person they were intended for and you immediately felt put
out. Or, in another example, your words or actions were completely
misinterpreted or misrepresented by someone. In terms of money exchange,
another form of energy, we can be put out of balance when someone over charges
for services that don’t meet expectations, or if we undercharge for our own
services. Any exchange that leaves you or the other person feeling
‘short-changed’ is has not been equal and has therefore created an imbalance in
the relationship. So, what to do about
it?
The long-term solution is to strengthen your self-love and
worth so that you believe that you deserve to be equal in any kind of
relationship and that you know what it feels like to receive as much as you
give. If your cups are empty, you cannot be expected to give anything to
anyone, even yourself. You need to find a way to refill them, but no-one can do
that except you, so the first step in getting back into balance is to take time
out for yourself and to restore your energies. The next step is to stand in
your power and not give too much of your own energy if you know it will not be
returned equally.
To refill your cup, taking time out to read something that
resonates with you might be a good way of grounding and regaining your balance,
along with things like meditation, having a long soak in a bath or a bit of
retail therapy. Giving back to yourself might also include cooking yourself
your favourite meal, watching a favourite movie or going for a walk.
In the long-term, though, working out why you tend to give
away your energy until you’re depleted needs reflection! Do you feel that
people won’t like you? Do you feel valued and loved by yourself, or are you
always hiding your true self for fear of rejection? A lot of these deep beliefs
often stem from childhood and take a bit of healing, but awareness is key. Once
you are aware of your patterns of behaviour and the triggers behind it, you can
start to do something about it. In the energy of Oneness, we are all one and
the same, we are all worthy and just as important as anyone else. The main
thing is that we, ourselves, believe it!

Crystal Healing
Key Takeaways
· Healing crystals are believed to possess various
metaphysical properties.
· Advocates claim they can promote physical, emotional
and spiritual well-being.
Despite lacking scientific evidence, many people incorporate
them into alternative medicine practices.
Do rocks have healing properties? The concept of a calming
stone with healing powers is nothing new. In fact, raw crystals and gemstones
have been valued for their beauty, rarity and alleged metaphysical properties
for thousands of years.
The recent surge in crystal popularity, as swaths of
individuals seek alternative approaches to wellness and self-care, has many
wondering what crystals actually do and which ones provide specific healing
properties. From lapis lazuli to citrine, let's get to know healing
crystals and their meanings in today's global wellness culture.
What Are Healing Crystals?
Healing crystals are natural mineral formations — think a
geode, a tumbled stone or a cluster — believed to have metaphysical properties
that promote physical, emotional and spiritual well-being, and imbue positive
energy.
The theory is that crystals interact with the body's energy
field to promote physical and spiritual healing. However, there are no scientific
studies showing that crystals can heal diseases or transfer energy to
a person.
Still, proponents point out that the use of healing crystals
is prevalent in various cultures throughout history. Ancient Egyptians, Greeks,
Romans, Chinese and Native Americans all incorporated crystals into their
spiritual and healing practices.
Historically, Egyptians used crystals like lapis lazuli and
carnelian in jewelry, amulets and burial rituals. In Chinese culture, jade was
(and still is) a highly stone revered for its protective and healing qualities
— you'll find tools in traditional
Chinese medicine that harness the healing power of jade, like a gua
sha stone. Indian Ayurvedic traditions have long recognized the
therapeutic properties of gemstones, known as ratnas.
Why Use Healing Stones
People use healing crystals because they believe these stones
have natural energies that can positively impact their lives.
· Balance and calm: Certain stones, like amethyst
or rose quartz, might help one feel more grounded, calm and centered.
· Focus and clarity: People might use these
stones during meditation, study or work to help clear distractions and stay
focused.
· Energy boost: Some stones promote energy,
motivation and creativity.
· Spiritual connection: Crystals can serve as
tools for meditation or personal reflection, helping people feel more connected
to themselves or the universe.
Emotional healing: Some stones can help release emotional blockages.
How to Use Crystal Stones
Whether or not these stones have healing energy is up to the
person using and experiencing the crystal itself. There's no universal guide
that explains crystals and their meanings, as they have different uses in
different cultures and cultural contexts. However, there are some that are more
broadly accepted.
In some instances, particularly in Western cultures, these
"healing stones" are simply used to help bring awareness to a
meditation (or similar practice) for well-being. Crystal healing,
meditation, feng
shui and jewelry all allow the user to connect with Mother Earth and
the natural world (specifically, the mineral kingdom) and explore their
spiritual and energetic needs.

Protection Meditation for Innocents
The world we live in is one of creation, through our belief
systems, our thoughts and actions, and the consequences that are created
through our choices. Every scenario that plays out in our lives is a
consequence of actions and behaviours we executed through our thoughts and what
we believed to be true. Along the way, we may get hooked into threads of
outside belief systems that may sway us into a different way of thinking and
behaving that has its own set of consequences. Let’s call these systems ‘webs.’
Webs that are created through collaboration with others and
fed by a large group of smaller webs become very strong; so much so that they
create a momentum that sweeps anyone in its path up into it until it is
self-perpetuating and extremely persuasive in its consciousness. We can call
this a ‘matrix’, and those who are innocently caught within can find themselves
a victim really quickly, despite all attempts to fight against it. Herd
mentality within a matrix is exploited and manipulated by those powerful enough
to have influence over it, and even good people with the best intentions can
find themselves making decisions that serve those with evil intent. How can
this be allowed to happen, and what, if anything, can those with a higher
consciousness, who are aware of what is happening, intervene to protect the
innocents?
In the world today, so many children and families are
currently caught up in systems that are supposedly there to help them but
which, in fact, are throwing them back to the wolves. In some cases, children
are taken from the protective parent because the web of lies is so strong it
has created its own matrix. Those watching it happen feel helpless in the face
of it, and the steps taken to silence them are blatantly unjust and totally
unfair, but continue anyway.
Matrixes feed off fear and negativity, and the consequences
of the decisions made by those in power only create more fear, negativity,
anger and angst until it is like a self-perpetuating cyclone keeping everyone
trapped within its raging energy. To break it, one needs hope and positivity,
which usually must come from without the matrix, but those with strong
consciousness connected to Source can find and provide it also. With such dense
energies trapped within any belief web or matrix, the only way out is with love
and strong, positive belief systems that justice can be served and people can
be free. No mean feat indeed.
We provide here a meditation to protect those who find
themselves or loved ones ensnared within systems that have betrayed their
trust. We urge that, should you do this meditation with someone in mind, work
diligently to have unswerving faith that your prayers will be answered. The
most important thing is that you do not invest in the fear and negativity
surrounding your situation, so engaging in other, high frequency spiritual
activities is also recommended. Remember, like attracts like, so the higher your
consciousness when performing this crystal meditation, the more positive and
powerful the effect will be. Allow at least two weeks before any change is
apparent.
MEDITATION
Prepare a quiet, sacred place that is yours alone. Centre
your energy within your heart space and breathe slowly until you are relaxed
and grounded. Hold the intention that this meditation be in the energy of
oneness with the Source of Creation and of the highest vibration. Also intend
that it is for your and the person you are protecting highest and best. Note
that any healing intervention must be with the person’s permission. In the
event that the person is a child under the age of 8, permission from their
higher self and asking for the healing by the Law of Grace will protect you
from inadvertent karma.
Envision the person you wish to send protection and healing
to in your mind’s eye. Call upon the person’s archangel guide, as well as
yours, to assist you and ask that the person’s energy be raised to the 5th
dimension in the highest and best way. See, feel or imagine the energy around
the person change, while intending that they are placed upon a white lotus
flower with 1000 petals. It is now intended that the right crystals to keep
them safe and protected from harm inflicted by decisions that are not in their
best interest now be placed in their energy fields, in their chakras and aura
or around them as Creator deems best, and see, feel or imagine that happening.
Invoke the Violet Flame of Transmutation and intend that all
negative and harmful emotions from the person be transmuted to love. As the
Violet Flame engulfs the person’s aura and bodies, also intend that any psychic
hooks, attacks, belief webs or matrixes from other people or systems that are
not for the person’s highest and best and that are against the person’s free
will, now be dissolved and sent to the Creator’s light. (This part cannot be done if the person’s
will has not been intervened upon.)
Ask now that the crystals be activated to provide spiritual
and energetic protection for the person until the situation at hand has been
fully resolved. See, feel or imagine this happening, then ask the Archangels
present to seal the person’s aura and to keep guard against lower interventions
for as long as needed.
Now send love and light – not just to the person, but to all
people involved, and thank the Universe for the situation being resolved for
the person you are protecting in the highest and best way in the highest and
best timing. Give thanks to the Archangels and then bring up the Violet Flame
again. As it all transmutes to love, break ties with the person and bring your
awareness back to the room. Ground your energy and let go of all expectation –
it is done.
I Am the Creator of All That Is.

You ARE Creation
You are that which you call God. We are your creations, and
you are our creation. We exist for you, and we know now that the task is to
hold All That Is within your conscious awareness. We are here for the ultimate
expansion of you. And you exist for our expansion as well.
That which has no name, is our life blood, the fount from
which we drink, the Source of All That Is.
Consciousness directs the energy of creation into
manifestation. We are consciousness. Direction of Source’s energy into form is
the way in which we access eternity/eternal existence.
We are that which you call your angels, guides, and ascended
masters. We welcome you here to this space of peace and infinite potential.
Your dreams, as you dream them, are not unlike our dreams.
You dream into existence your reality, and so too, we create realities. You
exist in our reality, as we exist in yours. It is a mutual cocreation of Love.
To awaken from your dream is to know yourself as the
conscious dreamer. While before, you dreamed unconsciously, never knowing you
were dreaming. Now lucid, you create with awareness.
Your reality is your manifestation outwardly of what exists
in your consciousness. As Source’s Light is directed through you, what is
projected is dependent on the consciousness the Light is being passed through.
(showing me a projector’s images on a wall and the light passing through this
lens)
Your world exists as the projection created by the Light
passing through your consciousness. As you refine/rarify your consciousness,
the Light may pass through in a less tainted/obstructed form.
All the world is created by your consciousness, by the
impression of your consciousness on Source’s Light. Direct it lovingly, and
with great care. For it has the potential to bring you the unfathomable bliss
of true cocreation with Source.
Go and embrace this beautiful opportunity to direct the Light. We leave you now. This has been Michael and the Cosmic Council of Light.

The Last Word
When the Hardest Choice is Making One
10 Things Every Indecisive Person Wants You To Know | HuffPost Life
Doubt can creep up on you when
you least expect it, even when you have made up your mind and begun to make
plans. In those moments, it is very easy to begin second guessing everything
previously decided, causing a lack of confidence in oneself and one’s intuition.
Indecisive people can find
making decisions for change very difficult indeed, preferring to let other
people choose for them in case they make a mistake. Making life-changing
decisions can be difficult at the best of times, but for those who lack confidence
in themselves, it can be excruciating.
The Universe will always have
your back, but it works best when the lines are clear. Sitting on the fence
about something will only delay things, because blurry lines are very hard to
decipher. Making a firm choice may seem final and difficult, but once a choice
is made, the lines become clear and the Universe can ‘read’ them and begin to
deliver what you want, as long as you remain focused and clear in your mind.
If making a decision is the
hardest thing for you, learn to listen to your heart and feel with your gut,
rather than going over everything in your mind until it is all a tangled mess!
Even though a choice is logical, what does your heart say? Are you making the
best decision for your future? How would it feel if your went down each path,
if there is more than one choice? Why are you even making this decision—for
you, or for someone else?
Doubting yourself can mean
that you don’t trust yourself, and it could even be an indicator of low
self-esteem. Worrying about what other people may think also might mean that
you are not feeling empowered, whereas being concerned about the effect your decision
has on others is an indication of a higher consciousness. If you are, at any time, unable to weigh up the pros
and cons and make a balanced judgment, maybe
try this simple technique.
Narrow down the choices to two
or three; e.g. one that you really want, one that others are telling you and
one that is possible. Centre your energy in your heart space and breathe slowly
until you feel grounded and relaxed. Put your mind out of the way as much as
you can.
‘Feel’ into each option by
seeing it at the end of a path. How long is the path—is it straight or windy?
Does it get darker or lighter? As you walk towards the choice, would you feel
happy doing it/being there this year, in two years, in five years? Are you
instinctively drawn or repelled?
While making a firm decision
is the best way to moving forward with positive intention, lingering doubt is
also a sign not to be discounted. Learn to trust your intuition and follow your
instincts. If it doesn’t feel right, then it probably isn’t the best choice,
even if it ticks all the other boxes.
Sometimes, leaving it up to
the Universe can help take the stress out of making any decision. If you do
that, always thank the Universe for delivering what you want/need in the
highest and best way and timing for you, then let it go. I AM AA Michael

Testimonials for Victoria Cochrane
Hi Victoria,
I came upon
your website today through the website Medium. I've read a number of your
channeled messages today and have found all to be resonant with what I've been
told, in addition to much that I knew immediately to be true when
reading it. Thank you for the work that you're doing.
I am in a
transformational time in my life (isn't everyone on Earth at this time?)
and started consistently channeling about 8-9 months ago. At first it
was only during medicine work, but now I can pretty reliably make that
connection without it. Initially, it was my guides, then occasionally a
group called "the council", and recently I received a
powerful message from Archangel Michael. I have been told many times
recently that I am meant to be a channel. And I have been struggling to
get my head around it. I've thought why me? This isn't a job. Etc, etc. I read
this on your website today and I really felt the Truth in it -
All angelic
and higher realm frequencies MUST be grounded through a human body in order to
make a positive impact on Earth. Accordingly, only those people who have begun
the process of awakening or whose soul has achieved a level of mastery in a
previous lifetime (and agreed to assist humanity as part of their soul
evolvement) can withstand the energy of etheric beings without becoming
frightened, unwell or misled.
I felt
something shift energetically in me. There was more of an acceptance of what
is, what I am. So I thought I would reach out and see what comes of that
