Life’s journey

QUESTION: Masters, after recovering from cancer, I’ve set a goal to return to wellness. In the last year, I’ve been in physical therapy for a pinched nerve and then a torn meniscus. Now I’m dealing with pneumonia. I’m wondering about my path to wellness. Are these diseases obstacles that I had planned to face? Or are they a result of not learning lessons? Or is my body letting go of past negative experiences as I envision being in good health and how it would feel. My spirit guides are strong and true and support me constantly. Can you connect with them and offer guidance? ~A.J., United States

ANSWER: You set yourself up for a complicated and sometimes contradictory set of life lessons. Your wish was to have a body that would provide a variety of difficulties and ailments, as a result of which you would have to exercise freedom of choice, manifestation techniques, and acceptance of your inner powers and abilities.

As you work through each lesson – among which have been issues of self-confidence, faith, acceptance, betrayal, depression, and self-love – you make yourself available for the next lesson. And, as with all of life’s challenges, you will be re-tested at times to make sure you have truly learned the lesson. You will rarely see the exact repeat but rather a variation on the theme.

You had planned all of the lessons, just not how they were going to play out. You are continuously ridding your physical body of negativity and emotionally resolving any attachments or residues that have remained. Keep on waging your war; minor battles and skirmishes are still on the horizon.

Your guides are with you always and cheer on your efforts. They are eager to continue with you on your journey to health. Staying in touch with them will make the trip more enjoyable and companionable.

Remember and accept that you are a piece of Source and have all the same powers and abilities of Source. Arm yourself with that knowledge and your arsenal will be complete.
