Journey into Consciousness with Marie D. Jones

I remember, even as far back as when I was a child, wondering exactly what my purpose is in this life. I asked the questions we all ask – Who am I? Why am I here? What am I supposed to be doing? Is this all there is? What’s next? 

In this series of articles, I am asking my friends and colleagues these same questions.
Marie’s response to these questions:

1. Who are you? 
I am not even sure how to answer that question because I still don’t feel like I truly know who I am, and perhaps won’t know until the entirety of my journey is over. I believe my soul has been around a long, long time, so in this lifetime, I guess I am a curious, expressive, opinionated storyteller who is in a female physical form, yet has some very masculine tendencies, trying to find balance between the two. I don’t really associate with being a particular “thing” like a writer, mother, sister, friend because that’s all part of the story “I” am telling this time around. I am the storyteller, I guess, unfolding the story of my life.

2. Why are you here?  
I’ve always know this since a very early age – to tell stories, impart knowledge, use both the written and spoken word to do what I call the “Four Es” – educating, entertaining, empowering and enlightening. I came here to do those four things as an expressive, creative person to help others grow even as I am growing.

3. What are you supposed to be doing? 
I truly believe I am supposed to be exploring the world, inner and outer, and writing about it, and expressing through writing and even talking about the things I have seen and done and learned and realized. I’ve always known since very early childhood I was a writer and an explorer, and that is the path that I’ve been walking ever since. I feel like I am supposed to “go through things” so I can then help others go through them as well, and let them know they can do it just as I did.

4. Do you believe that this is all there is? 
Not at all. I have a strong knowing that there was much before, and will be much beyond, this particular lifetime, even if I cannot prove it empirically! I know there is a part of me, separate from my body and brain, that was, is and always will be.

5. What advice do you have for others on their journey into consciousness? 
Don’t fight the bad stuff. It is there to happen for a reason. Don’t look for the reason, though, because it often won’t show up until much later, maybe even the next lifetime. Just trust it is there. When faced with fear and resistance, and you will be, push through it, with the help of others if needed, because you have to get beyond the confines of the comfort zone to find the real growth. And never ever go against your intuition. That little voice is your inner GPS. Follow it!!!

Journey into Consciousness with Shelly Wilson

I remember, even as far back as when I was a child, wondering exactly what my purpose is in this life. I asked the questions we all ask – Who am I? Why am I here? What am I supposed to be doing? Is this all there is? What’s next?   

In this series of articles, I have asked my friends and colleagues these same questions.
It seems only appropriate that I offer my own responses to these questions as well.

1. Who are you? 
I know that I am a woman, a wife, a mother, a daughter, a sister, a friend – but who am I really? I am all of these and also none of these. The truth of who I really am is that I am a soul in a physical body having a human experience because my soul chose to be incarnated on Earth at this time.

I could go on to describe my physical body with height, weight, eye color and hair color, but these are simply descriptions that will identify me. My likes and dislikes just happen to be my personal preferences. I am a soul having physical, emotional and mental experiences. The experiences I have had are just experiences. They do not define me nor will I allow them to. The memories of these experiences comprise the totality of my life as of this moment. As I continue to live my life, more of these experiences will encapsulate and become a part of my life yet will not define me. I am at the center of my consciousness. I am aware that my perception – through my thoughts, emotions and senses – creates who I am.

2. Why are you here? 
I am here to acknowledge that we are all one – derived from Source energy. We are truly reflections of one another. I believe that I am here to shine my Light on others so that others can see the truth of who they really are while encouraging them to shine their own Lights bright. Through my words and actions, I am meant to heal hearts one by one by one and see people differently than they see themselves. I believe that there are two ways to view everything – through the eyes of love and through the eyes of fear. I choose to view life through the eyes of love and to assist others in doing the same.

3. What are you supposed to be doing? 
As I reflect on my spiritual journey these past few years, my heart overflows with gratitude and joy. I am conscious of being present in this moment on this day, but I am also very excited as to what I see unfolding before my eyes. I see the direction my work is going. I am not controlling the aspects; rather I am allowing myself to be open to the idea of its ever evolving presence. In other words, I am not supposed to be doing anything. I am focused on simply be-ing and allowing myself to open to the flow and the realm of possibilities than anything and everything is possible. All we have to do is simply believe.

4. Do you believe that this is all there is? 
I distinctly remember analyzing as a child how I could be alive. I am breathing. My heart is beating and blood is flowing through my veins. How is all of this even possible?

I acknowledge that our reality is created by our thoughts, words and actions. If we desire something different, we are the ones who change and then allow the change to occur rather than resisting or inhibiting it. I am Shelly for this incarnation; yet my soul will continue once I cease to breathe.

The Spirit realm, also known as the Other Side, is literally right here all around us. Our loved ones no longer have a physical body and are vibrating at a higher frequency than the earthly plane.

5. What advice do you have for others on their journey into consciousness? 
Be present in this moment, right here right now. The past is in the past and cannot be changed. The future is yet to exist. All you have is this moment.

Allow yourself the opportunity to recognize that you are a spiritual being having a human life experience. These experiences may involve challenges as well as triumphs. Nonetheless, they are opportunities for learning and growth.

Choose to communicate your needs and desires to yourself and to others. This is your reality. You’ve got one “shot” during this lifetime as YOU. Enjoy it and have no regrets. In addition, make sure you tell everyone exactly how you feel. Leave no words unspoken.

Finally, know that you are having your own human life experience. Do not compare your journey to another’s journey nor try to control someone else’s journey. Honor yourself and what you are feeling at all times. Don’t be afraid to ask for help and remember to love yourself always and in all ways.

Journey into Consciousness with Mitchell Osborn

I remember, even as far back as when I was a child, wondering exactly what my purpose is in this life. I asked the questions we all ask – Who am I? Why am I here? What am I supposed to be doing? Is this all there is? What’s next?    

In this series of articles, I am asking my friends and colleagues these same questions.
Mitchell’s response to these questions:

1. Who are you?
I have actually asked this a lot and not to sound cliche, but “I AM”…. that is about all I get. There are a lot of adjectives I use to describe myself and what I do, but none of that is ‘who I am.”

2. Why are you here?
To love, to heal, to grow, to expand ME and help others to do the same.

3. What are you supposed to be doing?
Remembering who I am, what I am capable of, loving all I am able to in this short life and expanding not only my Soul, but THE SOUL… All that IS.

4. Do you believe that this is all there is?
Absolutely NOT…. there is everything, everywhere.

5. What advice do you have for others on their journey into consciousness?
Read, study, love, grow, keep an open mind, be willing to make mistakes, take your time getting to know someone and then be willing to let them go if your paths separate.

Journey into Consciousness with Melissa Rae Thompson

I remember, even as far back as when I was a child, wondering exactly what my purpose is in this life. I asked the questions we all ask – Who am I? Why am I here? What am I supposed to be doing? Is this all there is? What’s next? 

In this series of articles, I am asking my friends and colleagues these same questions. Melissa Rae’s response to these questions:

1. Who are you?
I am a reflection of everything swirling and twirling around me. When I speak to my children, I see my face reflected in their eyes, the shape of a face, roundness of a nose, the belly laughter, and the stubborn streak. Those features come from my genetic line.  Then I see what their father contributed too. So I then observe how seemingly different energies connect and blend together. Seeing this, I realize that we each do this all of the time. Our energy blends with the energies we meet and greet in the world; what we receive then is a better understanding of ourselves.  

This has helped me be a better wife, mother, friend, intuitive artist, and counselor.  When I realized that what is outside of me is a direct reflection of what is inside of me, I began to function differently in the world.  When I took responsibility for how I exchange energies with the world, then I became truly empowered. When I chose to take a journey within myself, true healing and change happened; not the “band aid” sort of temporary correction, but a sustainable one.  Real growth happened that otherwise would not so I learned to re-create my reality into a vision of what I desire it to be. 

2. Why are you here?
I am here to love myself unconditionally.  The more I am able to do this, the more I am able to unconditionally love the world.  Everything spirals outwards.  Not one of us is here by ourselves. What happens to one of us, happens to all of us. When we understand this, it becomes more than a responsibility. We are empowered. This realization leads us to bring our personal energy to energies surrounding us. Through this blending of energy, change happens.  Our energy changes things around us so it is important to stay centered and grounded through meditation, yoga, or other practices.  This grounding helps us maintain our center, even when around or connecting to more erratic energies. 

3. What are you supposed to be doing?
I choose to be a participant in the evolution of this physical reality on Earth.  This task begins inside of me.  From there, I will follow Spirit’s lead. 

4. Do you believe that this is all there is?
I do not believe that our physical reality is a fraction of all that there is. Just as our souls are expansive, so is the All. 

5. What advice do you have for others on their journey into consciousness?
You will find the answers inside you. Through your eyes, you will experience the world around you.  It is your choice what your eyes see, and do not see.  Just as it is your choice what energies attract to you. This decreases fear, and allows us to feel empowered.  When we are empowered from a heart-centered space, then amazing things begin to unfold in our lives. 

More about Melissa Rae ~
Melissa Rae enjoys spending time with her husband, 9-year-old triplets, and 2-year-old daughter. She has a MS in Counseling, Psychology, a BA in Psychology, and Associates in Massage Therapy. She thrives when creating, and very much enjoys her work as an intuitive artist. Fox and Owl [Metaphysical Manifestations] was created almost two years ago to offer page joiners new ways to explore Self. She believes messages to help guide us are all around us. All we need to do is look, listen, and feel. 

Feather Boa Tapestries, a newly developed Facebook page, engages others in the creative process and reading energy. Page members can participate as a focus group for an oracle she is creating called, “The Deck of Stories.” She says, “Creating is the work of Spirit.” She believes that the ability to read energy dwells in each of us. As we release energies that no longer serve our highest good, we make room for our gifts to grow and flourish. Using her experiences, she realizes that everyone has a story, and many stories overlap. Often she uses her gifts to assist clients. She is a respected intuitive artist, and hundreds of receivers have enjoyed her work.  http://foxandowl.net
