Why can’t I hear?

Q: Masters, all of a sudden I could barely hear anything around me. I have been to the doctor and she explains it as a buildup of wax—that when I used over-the-counter wax remover, it dissolved the wax, which reformed as a solid barrier over my ear drums. This has now resulted in inflamed ears, and I am on antibiotics and steroids. When I asked my guides in meditation what this was all about, the only response I got was that I hadn’t been listening. Can you elaborate? What is it that I am supposed to be listening to?

A: You have a very good relationship with your guides. Lately you have not maintained a steady communication with them concerning your own issues and have not been tapping into your intuition (your inner self) either. When souls ignore the non-physical aspects of self, they create blockages that manifest as physical ailments.

During the recent past you have spent a lot of time helping others and very little time on yourself. Danger signals were sent out to you but were not noticed because your concentration was elsewhere on other people. This is a good example of the problem of living in the past or in the future rather than the now.

First, your soul said, “Do you hear me now?” The outside world was cut off so that the importance of the inside world would become evident. The message having been delivered, you now have the opportunity to reverse the effects of your neglect.

The medical procedures that you have to follow, the drops and pills, are creating a return to the discipline of listening and communicating with your body. The second step is to use your intention now to increase the connection you have with your healing abilities and speed the blockage removal along.
