The same old Spirit? Yes and no. The same Spirit but seemingly completely new when viewed through the eyes of over 100 windows of sparkling Light.

Those windows of Light I am referencing were the fantastic souls in attendance at the 24th Dowsing and Healing Conference held for five days at the end of April in Fayetteville Arkansas. It has taken me two weeks to really digest all of the inspiration I received there.

It never fails to amaze me that after 30 some years of teaching, lecturing and counseling I always find a new thought and a new way. Even one of my “usual workshops” takes on a new energy and direction as I lecture to different groups.

What surprised me the most at the convention was to find an extraordinary number of my personal soul group among the attendees. It makes me wonder: How far ahead of time did we collaborate in the silence to make this meeting happen?

I am extraordinarily grateful to the Ozark Research Institute founders, Gladys and Harold McCoy, and their many helpers for the year long effort it requires to sponsor the convention.

On the surface each presenter at the convention came from a completely different point of view. The truth is they were all simply pointing their own unique way of accessing the Light of Spirit and soul path for which we continually yearn.

Individual channeling of Spirit energy was the thrust of every presentation. Regardless of whether the class concerned the “72 Names of God”, “Spoon Bending”, “Treasure Mapping”, “Dreams”, “Energetic Healing” or “Life Path”, the focus remained on accessing and using Spirit-Soul guidance and energy.

I am grateful for every client who sought my private counseling while I was in Fayetteville. I feel blessed to be allowed to help each of them. Every reading I offer amplifies my own abilities to uplift and enlighten others.

It is always amazing to me how many roads there are to the same destination— creation of the soul’s learning and progress! I think at this particular time in earth’s evolution we are all feeling a greater pressure to actuate our lives to the fullest. Our overriding desire is to fully encompass our Spirit in this human body. We want to know with certainty that we are doing the work we came here to do.

Every “clue” that we can gather to point us in the direction of our greatest life fulfillment is valuable. We are each endowed with an abundance of personal talent and creativity. It is up to each of us to bring our uniqueness forward in a way that will bless not only ourselves and the people we touch but our living earth as well.

Where does your personal road lead? Are you here to work with the plant or animal kingdom? Did you come to teach other Light Bearers through your personal gifts and understanding? Is offering peace and non-judgment your path? What is your unique way to bring the Light of Spirit, the I Am Presence to the earth and her people at this time?

I am here in my Florida studio to help you with any of your life challenges. I offer you a confidential reading appointment in my Florida counseling room or by telephone. In either case, I will give you a tape recording of your session for your later review in the privacy of your home.

It is my joy to help by channeling the guidance of your personal guides and masters. The messages of recurring dreams can be deciphered for you. In addition, I am able to bring you information from your loved ones in spirit if you desire.

Words are wonderful tools. Words create pictures and feelings for us whether they are written or spoken. But there is a significant problem with offering words: each of us understands their meanings in a slightly different way.

Don’t get me wrong I love words, language. I am particularly enamored with any sort of dictionary or encyclopedia. However, just lately I have begun to realize how vastly different individual interpretation and understanding of words can be.

In my recent workshop for the Ozark Research Institute, I handed out envelopes to each of the 30 plus participants. These particular envelopes contained no words at all just similar photographs. The pictures of various flowers which I placed in the envelopes were truly beautiful ones taken by my daughter.

The students were advised just to hold the envelopes for a period of time without opening them. Later each told the class what vibrations they had felt or sensed from the envelopes. Even though the contents of those envelopes were similar, each one of the students felt something different. No one was wrong even though no one expressed the word “flower”.

It was obvious even with a highly detailed photograph and no written words as a distraction, individual impressions are different. Each member of the class came from a somewhat different background, had encountered different experiences and consequently each was impressed with a completely different aspect of their personal envelope.

Some felt earth or dirt. One who had the photo of the parrot tulips quite accurately saw a deep purple color. Another simply felt water. One detected pulsing life. And one of the students who had the picture of white lilies saw the color red which I believe was simply the life energy of the flowers.

But I can honestly say no one was wrong. They simply understood things in a different way, were attracted to realities of the photos from their own unique perspective.

In my work as a counselor a great percentage of the problems that clients bring to me are those which exist in their relationships. These difficulties are apparently very similar in nature whether the relationships with which they are involved are intimate, spousal, family, friendship or workforce related. These problems all have a major component of either misunderstanding or total lack of accurate communication.

If our goal is to communicate with each other from the wisdom of our indwelling Spirit, then that communication has to carry more depth than mere words. We need to begin speaking or writing from our intuitive vibration. We need to choose our words as well as our accompanying emotional wave length with great care.

The most ignored principle of good communication is the first one. If we want to be heard we must first listen to the other person and we must listen with love. When we can hear with our hearts, there is a much better opportunity to gain understanding and make an appropriate reply.

Unfortunately, many times we are so busy framing a response to someone’s ideas that we really are not hearing them at all. We have heard this or that similar situation before and think we have the right answer. Often we do not if simply because their situation is not exactly the same as any other problem or challenge.

If you can bring the energy of love’s wisdom, the deep understanding that exists in your heart and soul to all your interactions with others, you will begin to evolve any relationship.

Whether you are speaking to loved ones, friends or strangers, learning to use your highest spirit-inspired words will enable you to move forward with grace. You will lift and inspire all those around you.

My Buddhist friend tells me that it is an affront to Spirit to ever take offense at another’s words or actions. Why? Because if we are offended, we have judged. We believe that the words were an attack against our ego, our self image. We have taken the position that we are entitled to say that the person was “wrong”. We have decided that we have the right to be “hurt”.

We have all heard: “don’t take anything personally” “It’s not about you, it’s them.” Sometimes that is not so easy. If we practice taking the high road in our associations with others, allowing others to be who they are, as they are, life becomes much more pleasant. We can begin to learn instead of suffering.

I am not suggesting that we toss out our ability to intelligently discriminate in our relationships. We need to know when we are moving down a path that will not be for our best good.

If we have exhausted all our best ideas of verbal interaction with anyone and find ourselves at an impasse, it may be necessary to love someone from a distance. It may be necessary to move that person off the center stage of our life up to the balcony or even out to the curb.

We cannot force all relationships to work the way we wish. The most we can do is to give more inner attention to the way we speak and write. If we will do that we will encounter less resistance to our communication with others.

The workshop I offered at the recent conference in Arkansas brought me great joy as I witnessed the enthusiasm of the students. I had opportunities to counsel with many of those who attended. If I can be of help to you with any of your questions or life challenges, simply call or e-mail for your personal appointment. I can meet you in my Florida studio or work with you over the telephone. In either case I will give you a complete recording of your private session.

April is almost here and it is Convention time! The 24th Annual Dowsing and Healing Energies Convention in Fayetteville, Arkansas, is April 24th through the 28th. The convention is sponsored by the Ozark Research Institute where I have been a member for some years.

I am so excited about the convention in Fayetteville for a number of reasons. I am looking forward to seeing many of my old friends as well as making interesting new ones. In fact people attend the convention from a number of countries around the world as well as from the United States. They come from a myriad of backgrounds and practices bringing enormous enthusiasm with them.

It is the diversity of offerings at the convention that make it so stimulating. The wide range of practices and systems that are offered are mind expanding!

Oh, the choices! Here are just a few: Bach Flower Remedies, Dream Interpretation, Heal Your Life, Numerology and Kabbalah, Bend Spoons and See Auras, Using Vision Boards, Palmistry, and, of course my own: Using the Road Less Traveled is NOT Taking a Detour!

Guaranteed: there are no two presenters or no two presentations alike. Attending is always a learning experience.

I am happily anticipating my own time lecturing on Saturday, April, 25th, and Monday, the 27th. I will be offering ways to involve more deeply in your own life path by developing your personal extra sensory perception. I feel a strong desire to get more people interested in their own intuitive development. If I can spark anyone’s interest in accessing and developing their natural abilities, I see that it adds so much to the quality and ease of life.

Through my counseling practice I have seen that one of the major challenges in our lives today is communication. We seem to have problems in our relationships simply because we continue to misunderstand the other person’s thoughts and point of view. Because we can’t totally know their past experiences or why they interpret our words the way they do, we find ourselves at odds.

It is in these interactions with others that our personal intuition can be a great tool. If we are able to understand another person’s feelings at a greater depth, if we are able to connect with them on a deeper level, so much misunderstanding can be circumvented.

If you cannot join me at the convention, let me offer you a private appointment time for your personal psychic consultation. I can help you in person at my study in Florida or over the telephone. I always provide a cassette recording of our work together for your later review. I also offer a series of four individually designed one-on-one intuitive development lesson at my studio.

I would love to help you. Call me today, Reverend Lois Cheney (941) 961-2783 or E-Mail: RevLois@gmail.com.

Before you arrived here on earth the soul that you are made plans. You decided on your appearance, your personality, your goals, your lessons and overall purpose. Then you were born and BOOM!…you forgot all the details.

So began the process of finding your way to your life path. Many times that road to remembering your direction was painful. You grew up filled with other people’s ideas about how you should behave and what you should do. You struggled between wanting to please others and pleasing yourself.

The survival necessity of being part of a family or a group as you grew may have left you struggling for your own individuality. That can be a struggle merely because your personal uniqueness always demands expression.

Now you are a grownup and every day seems more precious than the last. You do not want to waste even one of these days. Your hearts are full of searching for your highest and best endeavors. With Spirit calling to you and guiding you, the need to be your authentic self has become the number one priority.

I remember in one of the Carlos Castaneda books Don Juan tells Castaneda, “you must lose your personal history.” I understand that more today than ever. You simply cannot be who you were yesterday nor can you be who others have decided you are. You have to be who you are this minute, this day.

Yes your experiences of the past have brought you to today but those experiences are not you, they are simply the catalysts to that you that you are now.

Without a doubt your nearest and dearest friends and family have put each of you in a frame or box. They have decided who you are and assigned various labels. They do this for their own comfort. I am not saying that they are doing anything wrong but problems arise between you when they realize their ideas are no longer the way you really are, they may feel upset or even betrayed.

In more extreme cases, merely by being who you are today can cause loss of various relationships. Your closest friends may not be able to accept your new values.

The good news is that as you access your personal wisdom and begin living your truth, you will attract new and more suitable life affirming relationships. Being able to let go and embrace change is paramount to a successful life.

When you are on the life path that is uniquely yours, you are one with the values and goals of your soul. You are in a state of soul resonance. How can you tell if you are following your own intended path?

Fortunately, you have an accurate indicator to tell you if your choices are originating from soul direction powered with heart wisdom. When your chosen way and activities lead you into a space of no-time, the hours pass by without notice and fill you with the feeling that you could work that way forever, you have found it. YOU ARE IN THAT MARVELOUS STATE OF SOUL RESONANCE.

The sense of deep fulfillment will always accompany a soul decision. When you make a soul decision no matter what challenges arise it will seem as if any impediment is simply one more step to achieving the goal.

The important thing is to keep your fledgling ideas close to you until they are completely formed and ready to fly. It is all too easy in your enthusiasm to share your new plans before they are ready. Input from friends, family or fellow workers can crush your drive to succeed and sidetrack your desires.

There can be resentment or even unconscious jealousy when acquaintances see you change and begin to move forward. It takes courage to stick with your beliefs in the face of nay-sayers. When you feel in your heart that what you are doing is right for you, stay firm, don’t waver.

As I was growing up, it didn’t take me long to realize that completely pleasing my mother was not going to happen. Not that I ever quit trying. I remember one Easter when as a grownup I was doing a solo in the church program. I invited my mother and my new step father to come and enjoy.

Afterwards I asked mother how she liked the overall program. Her response? “You hit a few good notes”. No, I still have not forgotten, but fortunately by that time in my life I was immune to her inability to give any appreciation or complement! The important thing for me was that I knew I had enjoyed and loved my work with the group. I also knew I had given my very best because I could feel my heart singing with me.

No matter what your are doing when your heart sings, go with it! That is your heaven on earth. Do not let anyone or anything stop you from giving your best. You have found your most personal and unique way of expressing. This is your personal “road less traveled”. It belongs to you.

Your creativity, your gifts are inspired. Shine the light that you are. You are valuable and important for the contributions you will make to this earth and her people.

Today, perhaps more than ever, we all have questions about our personal progress and the changes that we see happening around us. If you will allow me, I would be pleased to bring answers to you from your guides and teachers.

Call today for your personal life path reading. I encourage you to bring all your questions so that I can channel the highest and best Spirit-led information for you. When you call be sure to ask about my private four-part intuitive development instruction that I offer to suit your own unique needs and desires.

Call Reverend Lois Cheney (941)961-2783 or E-Mail RevLois@gmail.com. Your personal, private counseling session can be in my Florida studio or over the telephone. Either way I will give you a cassette recording of our time together for your later review. I am your Sarasota Psychic.
