Opening abilities

QUESTION: Masters, I would like to know if I am a medium for channeling messages. I’ve been having this strong feeling, but there is some sort of fear that haunts me. These days I am feeling a lot happier, joyful and the urge for trying to communicate with my guides is very strong. Whenever I ask question to my guides about their presence, the candle flame rises high up and flickers. Are they really around me and hear me? I want to help people who have lost their loved ones through channeling and communicating with my guides and masters. Your kind words of wisdom would help. ~Daisy, India

ANSWER:  Channeling does not always mean “hearing” messages in your language of choice. It is much more common for the message to be delivered in feelings, visions, or some outside indication such as a flickering candle. Your guides are always around you – as they are with everyone else, even those who would deny their existence.

Your happiness is the result of being in the presence of the unconditional positive loving energy of the spirits. The fear and doubts are the remainder of your chosen life lessons, which you have not completed. You are having issues with self-confidence, self-worth, self-love, and belief in your own abilities.

Patience is another lesson you have difficulty with. You have many expectations of what you want to do. Some of them are realistic, while others would be classified as idealistic. The universe brings to all souls those experiences they need to fulfill their purpose. The purpose of all souls is to understand their magnificence and abilities and figure out how to use them in their present physical form.

Your desire to help others should be attempted only after you have helped yourself with your lessons and journey into self-love. Call your guides in when you clear your mind, such as for meditation. Ask them to assist you in finding your way. Since they already communicate through the candle, use it to get yes and no answers to your questions. You might also use a pendulum to start the dialogue. Take your time and have faith in yourself.
