We are and always will be a nation of animal lover’s over 99% of us has lost a very much loved pet for some of us its much, much more these precious and wonderful creatures give us unconditional love they fill gaps and provided us with purpose. At the end of a horrible day are there they don’t care what you look like they don’t judge yet their compassion and understand of our personal needs is given and some how they make us feel save wanted and in turn give us a sense of purpose.

This week’s blog is for them and for you I have written other article about animals before in which I have spoken about them and what they provide for us. Many people who don’t have children have their pets are just as important to them they can and do spent £1000,00 of pounds keeping them happy keeping them healthy and loving them as in return they get given so much more. I am not saying that a life of an animal is more or less important than a human life this is not about that, today is to give them there place.

I asked in a previous article to Do animals have souls Yes. Do our dogs go to doggie heaven? No they don’t why because all our animals select us just as we select them. More often than not they come into our lives, the cheeky and crafty ones steal our hearts and even the most biggest strongest hard hearted folk end up falling hook line and sinker for a pair of soft eyes a wag of a tail they race up to see us they get us up at all hours of the day and night and yet without them we are a told wreck.

Why because love is unconditional they all they ask is a warm place to sleep a full stomach and you, They don’t moan or complain they don’t expect you to listen to their day moan that you have forgotten to do something and just are happy just to have you there. That’s the real tear jerker. Our other much loved pets are the ones that totally ignore us and we spend all out time getting them to notice us by buying the best treats and cuts of meat. They are the ones who when they decide to pay us attention we go through cart wheels and end up thinking we are special.

Our animals from Dogs, Cats, Rabbits, Hamsters, Horses, Spiders and Snakes are part of our need to exist from the start of time they have been our partners and confidents they won’t tell our secrets don’t tell us lies and will only bite if they are hurt, angry or frustrated.

They aren’t perfect and we do get the odd wrong one but then again the human race also breeds a lot more nasty types then animals that do turn bad. I knew a man who had seen a life time sadness he had seen it all not in war but in a job where he had to pick up limbs and pull people out of fires. He said he had seen it all got rid of an ex wife but it was only when he lost his dog did he finally howl like a baby and yet his dog found a way to let him know he was ok.

Once we give our heart its gone forever hook line and sinker it happens to everyone from the hardest man to a small child they get under our skin and into our hearts and when they are ill and even worst when they leave us the pain is so bad that you feel your heart would break and your pain will never be the same. One of the worst things is that others who don’t share this feeling until it happens to them treat you oddly and think you’re mad it’s only an animal. No its not it’s a living soul with personality love affection and total trust. It never answers back well that’s not true they can and do communicate and have this ability to make you feel save loved and secure.

So yes animals do have souls and hearts and love they are loyal true and honest and will never really let you down. Do they come back I believe they do. They may not always look the same they may not even be the same animal but traces of there personality ability to hook us in comes in many shapes and forms. So I don’t believe in Animal heaven I believe they would want to be with you why because you are a part of their world just as much they are apart of yours. So they will find ways to enter back into your heart just to be with you again.

All sort of animals get under your skin, when I lived in New Zealand I rented a house where they did not allow pets this did not stop me feeding the birds or talking to the wild life. However within a few weeks a large timid Tom Tabby Tom cat appeared in my garden. He was really odd as from the front he looked thin yet he had the biggest behind I had ever seen he was like a hermit crab. Yet he was timid and scared. I worked out after a couple of weeks that he had claustrophobia he hated being shut in yet with time and love he would come in along as I left the door open he even would sit on my lap as long as he had an exit he would stay. He chose me, he knew when I was home and he would sit outside the back door which was glass and watch while I did my readings. The sad thing was I had to leave him behind because he was not mine and he never would have managed the journey here.

It seems sometimes the pets that are here for the shortest time seem to get under you skin the quickest its like they have to let you know that they are going to love you twice as much because they have a short life and need to make sure you get everything they have.

A year ago I was walking past a pet shop and I went inside and found a small Russian hamster. He had been returned by someone who could not look after him and he was now up for adoption. This dear sweet little creature nearly took the shop assistance finger off as they tried to open the cage and was spitting and biting all the way home yet I had this connection. Call me daft and that’s ok but I spoke to him on the way home and told him that I did not like being sweared at and he was not to bite me. Within a couple of days he was the sweetest thing you could ever have he never bit me he came out at the sound of my voice and of all things he purred when I picked him up. This smallest of animal had this huge heart with personality and intelligence supposed to be nocturnal was not in his adgenda he did not want to miss out on anything. He would quite happily go in a ball and run over the cat’s tail. Every weekend he knew the family was about and he made sure he was about too. It took me 6 months to find out his passion was broccoli and when I did it was on my shopping list twice a week. Sadly this little creature would not have a long life he got a tumour and we had to put him to sleep.

So in a very short time he stole my heart and yet I know one day he will come back because all our pets do he may not be a hamster a dog or a cat he could be a snake or a spider but he will find away to get under your skin because they a part of your life just as much as you are a part of theirs. It don’t make us soft odd or strange its not comparing love as for another human but it is showing us that when we are lonely lost or even miserable a fur friend may be the only reason to keep going for the need to be need at the end of a long lonely day is may be the only reason we get up the next day for when others are long gone the furry friend still needs us.

In memory of Viscous and all our other pets that make our world a better place without them it would be boring dull and often very miserable. Thank you for making us smile and being you and for coming back if only for a flash to show me that you’re no longer in pain.

Givers, Takers the Good Die Young and Learning to say NO to protect Life’s Balance

As a child I often heard the expression that there are givers and takers along with another expression the good die young. As time passes I find this expression to not only be true, but also very apt. We all if we are honest already know if we are a giver or taker again the real test is those, who say they are givers when deep down the truth is very far in the opposite direction. The very, very small letter word NO is not used often enough by the givers of our worlds and in turn we are allowing the takers to keep right on taking.

What happens is that because we don’t use this word it gets stuck in our throat or we are tactically swayed from using or applying it in any shape or form because to carry it through often is followed but such aggravation and verbal abuse we usually give in.

I have always tried to help others even those I know may not like or understand me. I have gotten used to over the years the odd looks and strange remarks being sensitive and intuitive especially some of the conversation I have had and the strange and yet wonderful experiences.

However putting that aside as a reasonable lady tries to treat everyone with kindness, respect, even people that I know deep down may not like me or understand me, yet at times the takers get to me too! I don’t go around with a label on my chest kick me when down I have had a particularly bad couple of weeks dont I tend share it with anyone so like some of you out there who do bottle up sadness and upset its not surprising that you do end up boiling yet, your too hurt to share why because again, your not sure who would listen and then even dismiss it like it was not important so this blog is for you.

So to be open to you I was honest and I did it! not ,once this week but twice I actually did not turn the other cheek and I did actually tell a couple of people that they weren’t being particularly nice.

One person I won’t mention names as you probably know her. It’s the loud mouth the bully if your lucky she ignores you if not your stuck with the mood swings the vile jaunts and yet she seems to be popular why because she got so used to being the centre of attention that she feels that she can say and do anything and it gets accepted well today the worm turned.

This is the person you help and no matter how hard to try to please they still look at you with disgust and loathing. Others accept their rudeness as oh she is like that you just have to get used to it. No you don’t why another human make you feel like cr… It shouldn’t and still have others make excuses. Its worse when they have an audience, then a day later when you have just built up enough courage to say something you get a sorry with sugar on it apology.

You know the patronising type when they say “Oh I know you’re a good person, but I don’t like you, I should but I don’t, my mouth runs away with me sometimes but that’s ok because that’s the way I am” Now that o.k. the first time they make you feel small and you try extra hard to still try and make allowances. However by the third or even the forth time comes get used to it girl they aren’t going to ever like you and they are always going to be a bi…ch. Why because if others around you accept them being vile they aren’t going to change. That does not mean you have to take it you can tell them it don’t always make a difference to them but it will to you.

What you don’t always realise or fail to understand because suddenly your noticed again is that you give away so much self power when constantly, you try to seek approval of someone who don’t give a fig, so why waste time and energy trying. You don’t have to be rude but you also don’t have to keep trying so hard. Take the courage to tell someone who is making you miserable sometimes they don’t know and if they are a giver and not a taker then you will not only hopefully get a response or if they don’t care you will also have the strength to stop wasting time and energy with a source of negativity .

Practice of the very small two letter training word NO! used regularly will enhance you self esteem it helps to build layers which in time gives you the ability to be able to empower yourself not to need the approval of the takers and helps to maintain your giving side YOU like all our other givers need to learn to say No more often to take the time to actually do things for yourself rather than rushing around on the hamster wheel of life. We need for you to be around so we aren’t left with selfish and the takers of life the planet and our universe needs balance and with out it where would we be. Taking a stand for the givers of the world showing them with you there would not be much left to give.

Thanks for listening Annielise Stone

Cupids Bow. Dealing with feelings and relationships a Valentines Special.

Last month Janus was giving us the chance to look at our past. Take out of it the things that made us feel happy. Then shut the door, working thus allowing us to work toward the present and eventually the future, we want rather than the fears and worries of old hurts which we then give to much attention.

To define this we must and I say must but better perhaps agree to allow ourselves to take charge of what we want and what steps we are prepared to take to follow our actions through. This is sounding more like recipe yet with all recipes the best ones are the tried and tested along with our own personal add on’s or take off’s.

So on to create the perfect lover, friend, partner, companion to create someone for You and Me. Love is often blind is has no colour gender or even reason. You can’t help who you love but at least you can help yourselves falling for the wrong person how ever lovely they look talk, smile or even wiggle.

With the onset of Valentines day we all feel and desire, no need to be wanted yet first and foremost you should and need to love yourself and consider yourself a worthy subject, for without it the battle is surely lost and then the war on chocolate wins along with self loathing loneliness and failure beings.

There are many strings Cupids Bow yet today I am empowering those of you to either take a step back and look who your waking up next too and for some they will say it’s the dog again it could be a real dog the slobbery kind that smell or even worse the real thing. For you we have to look at different ways of sorting out what you have got and what you want need or can do or not do without. I haven’t forgotten you and I will address you another time if I don’t get to pass on some ideas today. There are only so many words in a blog they will let you have and to be fair this saga could turn into a book. However hold the faith and I will in time give you some ideas for you also.

As they say in a very old song if you start at the very beginning. A very, good place, to start. There are those of us that appear to have it all looks, money, style, friends and some daft sod that falls over just because a pretty face smiled in their direction. We all like a good girly flick yet the nearest in real life scenario the closest realistic relationship built on looks and weight is Sherk and Fiona. Otherwise about five percent of movies aimed at real people only ever portray us as ugly spotty nerds or fat chubby desperate losers who yes do have feeling yet like in Bridesmaids if we are really honest don’t want to be portrayed as the lost cause.

Even in families our sibling, always seem to have it all. They haven’t if the truth be told it just our frame of mind. Why because when one thing goes wrong it all seems to go wrong and that’s the spiral downwards. Ok let pull this back on track. In the real world you are going to kiss more frog than princes that’s a fact. You will be taken in by a pretty face a cheeky grin and a good banter of flirting.

Now the confusion happens is in when we mistake flirting for love and commitment.

The expectation in having cake and eating it results in disappointment and self loathing. The trick is to try and have fun, conversation, mutual interest and sing off the same song sheet rather than. Meeting someone and thinking they tick all the boxes only to find they are mean boring and self centred.

First rule.

Selection is not based on looks alone neither should you give your entire desert away on the first meal. Like I was once told by a friend of mine that if she went anywhere with someone and they paid for a few drinks she supplied the afters. Why because that was what was expected. NO only if you’re daft enough to think you should or you have such little self worth they may have brought a drink but not the pub.

Second rule.

Don’t rush to tell them your life history complain about the ex or tell them how great your best mate is. If at all possible try and find out as much about them as possible listen rather than gab. You will find more out than you realise.

Third rule.

If you have children don’t see the next partner as Daddy more often than not they are bigger kids attached more to mum apron strings and are looking just for free bed for the night and breakfast.

Forth rule.

Do they make you laugh, are they self centred mean, or spend more time texting or watching the football. Again watch there body language the eyes give it away every time and if they can’t look you in the eye you know you’re got a lost cause.

Fifth rule.

If he is hunk why he single is perhaps again a wolf in sheep’s clothing most of the pretty ones are players looks often lead to vanity just as many often pretty girls are also shallow and mean. Take a look around in the place you live very few have the perfect partner or the perfect figure in the real world most of us have lumps bumps and scars the trick is not to hide behind them neither is it to allow ourselves to let others use and abuse you.

Sixth rule.

Don’t be some available don’t give up other arrangement and drop everything just because they can fit you in. Chance is that you are just being fitted in. Remember some just get lucky because they catch you UN aware. Also don’t over do the perfume the drink or stuff your face past wind or any other habit you might let slip. Also watch the swearing if it comes out as a matter of fact and you have kids and little Johnnie starts using the F word you going only to have other problems.

Seventh Rule

Self preservation no matter how much you may like or don’t like someone don’t gush play it cool not frozen or that again goes to far the other way. Balance is what is needed

Fun can be had just being with someone you don’t need to get drunk or end up in bed on the first date as they say in Willy Wonka same some for later.

There are others but for now I will leave you not desert you there is more to come on this subject but for now read and use wisely and the start of Cupid Bow will bring excitement and commitment into your lives along with the confidence to find Mr Ok who could be Mr Right.

To be continued Annielise Stone on the day before Valentines Day.

I was empowered to write this blog as I feel that the information that will poor out will hopefully benefit others. To tackle and let go of the past and move forward into the present and then onwards to the future with a gentler understanding of how we deal with ends and look forward to beginnings.

The Roman God Janus is represented by two heads back to back. It is also given to the month of January and the story goes that one head faces the past the other looks forward to the future. His name also was given to the month of January which is pretty neat when you think he gets to see in the New Year and say goodbye to the old. It’s the time of new beginnings, fresh promises that sometime easily get broken. Janus is also the door keeper as like a door it opens both in and out of the room, so he gets to see what’s behind him and what is to come.

Janus name is said to be linked with to our American friend the word Janitor a keeper of buildings normally schools. I immediately think of a cartoon Recess, of the Beano and the Bash Street Kids and finally Potter in the old comedy classic Please Sir. These people spent hours running around usually after teachers and cleaning up after all the spills and spoils of daily life. So like all teachers we make a mess and need help to clear up.

Janus or January which is my New years thoughts allow me to realise that this month is a month of cleaning up and throwing out it also a time that we reflex the past having spent the last couple of months hoping that we will meet that certain someone or the certain someone will wake up and realised what they have thrown away.

Next month I will talk of new love as it’s the month for lovers. Till then I am showing you that standing at the door like Janus it does no good to look back and think what if I had done something different. At the time you choose what you felt was right your gut reaction. You often take someone back and give them a second chance and with a real lot of effort on both parts it can and does work. (But then again don’t beat yourself up if it don’t)

Plus often with the pressure of life style and families we want it to work we hate to be alone at Christmas because it seems that others are so happy to be honest it’s the highest season of suicide and brake ups then any other time of the year.

In previous articles the reason season or lifetime I spoke about how we meet people for different reasons and how some are there for precious moments others come and go like a bad smell which you cant seem to get rid of and others your stuck with the complications of the feelings of things that started right and end wrong.

We often hang on to them like clothes we are desperate to fit in but reality they never really fitted that well and even when we managed to squeeze ourselves into them kept wondering if they go the full hall or we see someone else with a better colour or style making us feel or wonder why we were wearing them in the first place.

I know those of you know reading this will understand what I am talking about. Its not really clothes but relationships. Letting an X back thinking better the devil you know. Trusting someone not to hurt you but still knowing or feeling deep down when the bottom will fall out.

The thing is that it’s ok to try but please don’t beat yourself up afterwards because if you haven’t have tried you always been wondering why. You cant change the past but you can change the future go through the door way with good intentions and your make the start leave the past behind its easy to have rose coloured glasses when you remember all good times it then we have selected memory loss which makes us all temporary insane.

Again this can happen because we all need motivation; we need a goal to strive for. At times when we walk away its hard then times goes on and we get confident again only to be swayed by a smile a sudden text or blast from the past and not the good kind. The kind of bad boy kind that makes us feel special or excited it like you know you might get caught but that’s half of it the kill or perhaps you have realised your the prey all over again.

Then it all goes to pot you can’t live with them and your cant live without them. You don’t know if you’re Arthur or Martha and everyone else around you thinks you’re mad and you need your head examined. This is where you need the flash of light to go back in the head to warn you that the promise of change is only backed up with the actual deed.

They say the proof of a good pudding is in the eating well if you let him eat do you really believe that he will save you some OH! hang on a minute the flying pig just flew past. Wake up and smell the Roses.

Is it all doom and gloom? No! Why because for warned is for armed. If when it strikes and at sometime some where it might you will hopefully think well I gave it another go. Then stop punishing yourself and the road to recovery will happen so much faster. The damage to others around you will be limited and you will hang on to self respect and quite happily chuck that top out realising you did not really want or like it in the first place.

Then you just might realise you have seen another top which is not so loud bright or full and realise that if you pass Janus in the door way smile and tell yourself the month only last for thirty one days and next month you can start thinking about what you want knowing that you have finally left behind the past and can get on with the present and future.

I am already looking forward to what they want to share about the months of February.

In all the articles I have written they contain personal experience and humour with out either I would not be who I am today. I think most people who have met me think at first I am a little exocentric, possible strange but occasionally odd. That’s ok because deep down I a probably a bit of all those things.

Most people who are honest will admit to talking to all sorts of things from plants and trees, to animals and of course themselves.

However I tend to take that even a bit further. You have all heard of the story that says talking to oneself is the first sign of madness I tend to add that there are also several other steps,

Second sign hairs on the palm of the hands

Third sign looking for them

Forth sign finding them.

By now most of you who talk to yourselves would have looked at your hands just because its human nature.

I talk to all living thing and also a few some would call not living but the only difference to me is more often than not they can a do talk back. I know people who place classical music to chickens because it soothes them and they lay better eggs. Nearly every expectant mum will talk to her unborn child and I am sure there are a few who even have played tapes and sounds to their bumps as gentle music is said to bring a happy and contented child into the world. We all do strange things I once had an Aunt who when she was expecting did not run bath water about her navel as she felt water would go in and reach the baby so we are all rather exocentric at certain times in our lives.

You can imagine if I ever sat down at one of these 3 minute dating services I could really stop a conversation with what do you do ? “ Oh ! I talk to animals and dead people” if that did not have them choking their water the next claim would be the only difference is more often than not they tend to talk back

I believe all life force had its own life energy it has an energy connection and some say a soul I have written articles in the past and they can be found on my web site. I have stamped my foot in front of ants and told them to go home when they were flooding inside. I tell wasp and bees to go outside and talk to birds butterflies etc. I even pick up stray worm and put them back on the mud. I even rescued a frog from a main road and drove and found a pond to save him.

My latest conversation is with a very small hamster he is about the size of a cream egg he is not even mine I first saw him in a class cage in a pet shop with a sign saying that he was not wanted. I asked the assistant about him and he said he was not very friendly to put it mildly and that it would not really make a good pet for a younger person. This very small creature stuck his head out of its bedding and I could here him spitting and swearing even then. The assistant went on to say that he had eaten a large wooden toy in a couple of days. I looked at this little thing and thought he is so fed up behind class I bite a few people if that was my life.

Ok to cut the story down a donation of a few pound was given and I had a vicious hamster the poor assistant drew blood and the animal spit and swore at him. To say that I was rather apprehensive was mild as I was not sure if I would loose a finger or two. I do like a challenge so home he came. I talked to him on the way home saying that I did not really want to be bitten that I had a cage for him and a ball and we started a conversation him swearing and me talking. Now please understand he has probably got a brain the size of a small pea. He is very intelligent and soon understood that I would not hurt him. Within a couple of weeks he would let you pick him up and handle him he has never tried to bite me but has bitten others. I know he knows my voice because he comes out and puts his paw out for me to stroke. Recently he has started to purr and he makes sweet little noises he also loves broccoli.

Animals all have the ability to commutate with not only each other but with humans also. I recently was sent photos of a shark who was rescued from a net by a fisherman the shark now regularly follows him around and he strokes and pets the shark like you would do a dog or cat. Of course he is not silly enough not to realise that he is dealing with a very dangerous creature however it does not take away the intelligence of Man and Shark. As long as both respect each others ways and boundaries then I am sure the friendship will last a lifetime. I also realise that animals are animals and can and do often attack in this instance its usually because they are either frighten starving or have an injury which may cause them to attack thus we must always remember they are animals and not everyone takes kindly to them.

Animals have time and time again proven loyalty love and often given up their own lives to help their owners or others. There area also times that animals get given bad press at times when they are in fear starving or due to the fact that their environments are damaged due to global warming or even because there homes are damaged due to man need to build big and better things they can and do attack Again that is terrible and hopefully common sense will prevail. If we try to respect nature and its animals then they will be around for many years to come if we hunt and destroy just because we can then we will see less of the positive accounts and more of the negative stories that fill our worlds. An animal only usually will attack if threaten man attacks for many other reasons. Once there were many buffer low now there are very few. Lets look after our planet and the creature on it respect all aspects of nature its creatures and it kingdom or one day we might not have it here for other to enjoy.

I have added this discussion on this page as from time to time I am passed on information from spirit. In the past I have posted it on my own web page. www.annielisestone.com.

However I feel that this is the place it will hopefully reach its source. The reason why is that it’s not Uk based but linked to America I hope that perhaps some of the other members might find it of interest. Thank You. Annielise

I try where possible to listen to my gut and to the information that spirit pass on to me. I don’t always get it right because at times I am working with communication skills and like a bad telephone line it can and does get at times mixed up.

Recently we have had terrible news first of the Earthquakes in New Zealand and now Japan tsunami. After the quakes of Christchurch I got this message water lots and lots of water lakes and rivers will rise. A part of me felt there is more to come and yet I was not given any further information.

Yesterday I was driving and I got terrible chest pains I felt I was being crushed but I also felt water. It got so bad that I was tempted to put over to the hard shoulder. I was about to when I was given a name TOM I realised that in fact the pain I was feeling was not my pain but that of someone else.

So I said ok what else do you want to tell me.

I was then given this Tom (Thomas) Short not sure if I have the spelling correct as I feel it could be (Shultz) next San Francisco Golden Gate Bridge. July 12^th 12.45.

I am led to believe this man was crushed the steering wheel hit him in the chest I also felt that he lost air like he was drowning. The car was a golden colour sedan.

He would have been a man who travelled a lot and had stomach ulcer he spoke fast and I am told he would have at sometime had links to Brooklyn. I am also told he was a Dodgers fan. He had dark hair grey at the temples and would have been a bit over weight as he had stains of a hot dog and mustard on an open neck shirt. On the passenger seat was a black holdall. I am also given a year of 2008 I don’t have enough information from him to confirm that this was when it occurred.

At the time I did not have a year as it was not given but since writing this up as I promised I would post it on the net. As spirit has been with me so clearly I felt it was important to post this message. If anyone feels a connection with this man then please contact I and I will see if he has anything else to say.

Thank you Annielise Stone posted 8th march 2011

The Power of Love. (The silent soul mate)

I know probably the first thing that will come into your mind is a song.

LOVE is so much more than words can express and if you Google LOVE or wikapedia it the definitions would or could or may describe how you feel? It’s even used in a game of tennis. Very apt because at times you feel your heart is being bounced and plummeted across the court of life, the score is of will or loose and sometime you just get juice.

Many an act, has been performed in its name some very noble others would be consider madness. Love also comes in many shapes and forms some good and some not so good again I am not here to comment on what is right or wrong good or bad but just for loves sake.

“The expression I love you” Should be unconditionally. However very soon someone adds the word BUT!

The love I want to share with you is unconditional and it’s not about me or anyone else in particular more for those of you who have and do love someone and this I apply rather than giving the title to a thing or object. There are always going to be some unusual cases.

In the name of love many souls have given their lives, many other souls have also not even known, that they too also were loved. For at the time were blinded by convention, belief or circumstance. I try not judge, because with out it a part of us is not complete.

It has no gender, race, creed, or colour it can be found in the least unlikely places and is in a part of all of us .Love can be found in all religions and is given as one of our greatest gifts. It tries to brake down all barriers and fights with faith and honesty to make a kind, compassionate more tolerant earth. With it we can and are better people, without out it we feel neglected and vulnerable and this leads us to all sorts of problems.

I do not claim to have the answers, I do feel that we sometimes under estimate peoples feelings and the power and passion that this time they have discovered such powerful overwhelming feelings for an other that they cant eat sleep or operate without going into to over drive or even completely switching of the power source. Time, place, distance can for a short time distract this connection but on the whole they love with a passion that can move mountains, freeze rivers and break into a thousand stars when they get a connection with the one they feel for.

This article is for the power of love not for those who seek out others to harm them or hound them its not condoling any of that neither is it giving them the ok to hound or force another attentions on them.

This is purely for those who love and never got the chance to tell another how they felt because of time, age, circumstance or again the opportunity. How do you differentiate? Because these are the ones who realised to speak of it would cause pain, may break up families, or destroy lively hoods careers etc.

They were in wrong place at the right time looking at another soul, knowing that to them they are so perfect.

The strange thing is you never know who you fall in love with or who will fall in love with you. Age is a number which stops us for we any either is too old or to young for the person. They could be married to another person who you also love and again to speak or even appear to care for them would hurt them and so again the spiral continues.

For many they spend their lives alone, others sit close by waiting in the wings for the right time. Many times they leave, some die without ever knowing how the other person felt. Does this mean you waste your life NO it means you operate in second gear often you will also try to have other relationships and some of those will be successful others do accept that they wont be able to match the other soul and spend time on their own this again shows that they do try to contain their feelings and for those I would…..

I like to give you something back some glimmer of hope for another time. Soul mates don’t always meet and stay together sometimes you meet your soul mate and it only lasts an instance it leaves you with such a power you can’t understand why its not immediately responded on. Soul mates can be both male and female and again this does not have to have a sexual encounter to prove the connection because most don’t and wont as the power of love is far, far much more.

The agreement that you make prior to your birth will affect the pathway it may contain a meeting but it don’t ways mean a commitment. You will meet this soul again as you have probably met them many times before hold your faith and hope in love hold on to your integrity and beliefs don’t cross the line and try to make another respond. For in another time and another dimension you will get your reward.

As a last part of The Power of Love for all of you that did not get a chance to tell them, deep down they know, and deep down they love you for not pushing on to them or causing others pain they cared for you too just this time you were passing ships in the night. Remember life is precious we all have responsibilities to do the right thing and not to jump ship your time will come just be patience and wait live you life to the full treat everyone with kindness love and respect and you too will experience your hearts desire.

As I sit here and try to check the spelling and read thought what I have been given by love and spirit to write, another thought has popped into my head it tells me to tell you aspects of love are very complicated no one has all the answers and the facets they leave me with for another time to be written for another time is don’t forget some people can and do love more than one person equally and for them the power of love is tested on which one to choose and which one to release. Soul mates that are twins.

Thank you for giving me the chance to share Annielise Stone 20^th March 2011

Following on from the article I posted last year about the quiet times and spiritual development. I wanted again to share how our gifts, can and do have this way of reminding us, what our pathway is about and when we least expect, it things jolt us back on task. This again will also link to another post that I have written about synchronicity and how it has the habit of popping, in and out of our lifetime experiences. I have tried explaining how it has encouraged, me to take steps to pursue my own pathway and in this I feel it will help others, in turn understand how to take forwards the next part their own journey.

*(written in blue is an excerpts from the previous article Quite times and Spiritual Development)

In other articles I have expressed, how I work with spirit and in turn how I then try to pass, on some of the life lessons it give me. All my views and thoughts are again; my opinions and I hope that with them. I also try to understand others, with different views or beliefs. One of my favourite, saying that many (Roads lead to Rome.) What I mean by this is that each of us has our own unique way of working with spirit. Many tools and many facets, often come together under one large umbrella.

I would like to share with you an experience of contact with spirit in a level of communication this, happened years back but like all my connections they remain clear and memorable like it happened yesterday. I will relay the conversation and also how things have a habit of coming back with a similar message which again makes me feel that we are all given gentle reminders of why we are here and what purpose we tried to serve or do.

People often ask me how I connect with spirit, and I often say it’s like a telephone conversation. Spirit, can and often pops in for a chat and other times it can be quite persistent and have a defined subject it wants to share with me. That’s when I am asked to pass on, information for particular person, other times it makes consist of an article they want me to share.

It can start with a word, or piece of music, or even just a thought in my head. I do question my thoughts and if talking to ones self is the first sign of madness then I suppose to someone viewing me, might consider it a little odd. I have found often my computer keyboard has a mind of its own and will often write things that I did not think about or plan.

On with my story, one afternoon I was driving back from the shops when I got told we want to talk to you. My response was who wants to talk to me and WHY? The reply was that they had a question for me and wanted to know what I would do. I then said well first I need to concentrate and get home and the second was would this take long as I had a huge lot of iron to do when I got in and dinner to cook.

The voice said it would come back later and thanked me for my time.

I thought nothing of it as I was used to conversations and I had got quite used to it. Later in the day I sat down for a cup of tea and said Ok what you want to talk about.

The voice came into my head and said if I were to be given gift a pot of gold what would I do with it?

I thought about it for a moment and then I realised that with out guidance or knowledge the gold would soon disappear. If I choose to spend it with out thought it would soon go. If I buried it in the ground it again would benefit no one I would spend my days worrying that someone might find it and in the end it would be of no use. I could give it away and I would if I knew that it would benefit others.

I said to whom am I speaking with the name that came back was Saul.

I said Saul thank you but no thanks I would rather have guidance and knowledge to help others than a pot of gold that could disappear at any time. I was not looking for commercial gain I felt I could do more if I was given guidance and that the pot of gold would grow 10 fold.

It went very quite then I heard what I would call mutterings and a conversation on a higher level. Saul replied to me and said you are a strange lady you have renewed out faith in the human race knowing that you have chosen knowledge and guidance over personal gain give us great joy.

Some would say this story is far fetched. No! I did not get a pot of gold but I did realise that at times we all want a quick fix an easy option. I wrote my conversation down on an old scrap of paper I carried around for a week or so. I told a friend of my story I was not sure if they believed me or not but I do know the moral of the story has stayed with me.

So to find out years later that the moral of using gifts or talents is also a parable again made me think is this re enforcing the message or is it again Synchronicity I liked to think it’s a bit of both. I will explain below.

I was at a friend’s house and she told me that she was doing Parables in a lesson in school she said did I know any stories that she could use. I suggested we look on the internet and we came across the story of the Parable of the Talents. Now I know the Good Samaritan story. I was not familiar with this one.

The interesting thing was that a master gives his servants gold coins then goes on a journey he tells them to use their talents to protect and help others.

One servant works hard plants a field and grows grain. He is then asked by a poor widow for help. He gives her half of his field and then uses the coins to buy more grain.

The second servant also works hard he builds a raft and ferries people back and forth over a large river in return he get given what ever the passenger can afford.

The third servant buries his coin. He does very little else he is afraid to try use the knowledge he has he has forgotten the train his master gave him instead he fritters away his time and lets others do his work for him.

The Master returns the first servant gives him back double the coins and he is pleased he sold his grain and still had enough to give something back. The second servant sells wares given by his passengers and again he can give back double what he started with.

The last servant digs up the coin and gives it back. The parable asks is he using his talents.

So flash back we are all given gifts or talents to use wisely religious or not if we keep taking and giving nothing back we end up with nothing.

Saul message to me had again been refreshed so symbol of the pot of gold is growing it don’t always feel like it but with guidance and Knowledge I keep trying to use my talents to try to help others even if at times it feels like

*

Times of waiting and not knowing or sure if we are learning or developing, as we walk our own life path we have periods of time when we feel at a loss. Direction of thinking is that we should be doing something or at least feeling that we aren’t just stuck in a rut or even stagnated, for the person who is feeling this particular dryness or even lack of communication it feels again like someone has turned out the light do not worry or be concerned in fact lots of things are going on it is just a time of temperance.

I know that lots of people are looking for guidance and direction and to be honest its can be a long a slow process to really actually seeing a real change we are not perfect and its easy to loose concentration and will power for what we call the silly things.

Whilst it’s great to have long term goals don’t forget you also need life tasters and testers. Small achievable tasks that show you that you’re on track.

Indigos and their children

The reality of our world is a shifting, evolving, dynamic energy field. As part of this ecosystem, humanity is grow, and developing. As the needs of the whole shift, changes need to be made in the parts that make up that whole. So it is with the auras. A new colour-Indigo-has emerged, with ski talents, and physical characteristics significantly different those of the other colors. At this time, most Indigos are still children or young adults. I see Indigo children as a new co invested with new talents and abilities that will be necessary for our evolution. These children have unique characteristics for which we can only guess the purpose.

Parents of Indigo children have a special challenge-how to nurture and cultivate their unique children while at the same time helping them to exist in the mainstream of contemporary society. The parents of some of these Indigo children will love and support their differences. Other Indigos will not be:’ lucky.

The significant thing about Indigos is that they have leadership capabilities unlike those we have heretofore ex experience They understand what it means to be a fully actualized human being without having been taught that concept.

The most difficult thing for an Indigo to develop is patience and forbearance. Because they seem to have already grasped what it means to be authentic, they have little tolerance for others who struggle with this issue. Indigos are not without compassion. However, their form of compassion is to give other human beings time and space enough to find their ,Own answers, to come to their own resolutions.

APPROACH TO PHYSICAL REALITY

Indigos have a biochemical system that has differing needs and considerations than other aura colors. Acceptance of their more sensitive systems pays rich dividends for parents.
Indigos seem to register emotional, physical, and psychological input at an unusually high frequency, in the same way some audio equipment is designed to pick up sound waves in the upper ranges. Consequently, their systems reach overload more quickly. This means that they tire more easily, can become confused from too much noise or chaos. Like the Crystals, they have extremely sensitive neural systems. Excessive excitement or prolonged stimulation can cause them to withdraw into themselves. Adults misunderstand this behavior as being contrary or difficult, when it is simply the Indigo child attempting to find emotional respite.

As infants, they are alert from the start. The most frequent comment from parents of Indigos is that the baby was awake, wide-eyed, and curious from the moment of birth. These infants do not seem to have the unfocused eyes of a newborn.

Indigos also seem to require less sleep than other infants. They nap infrequently, and even then sleep fitfully. This often Puts a strain on the new mother who expected her baby to sleep for the first three months. Not so for Indigos. Propping them up on a pillow when they are lying on their back seems to allow these infants a more restful sleep. Afternoon naps are Usually heavy and deep, as night sleep is for most of us. These children outgrow their need for naps earlier than others do. If they do nap in the afternoon, they frequently stay awake until all hours of the night. They often awaken from night sleep crying or in an irritable mood, especially if roused too ,abruptly. ‘The result is physical pain, fright, and dislocation; it Is as if they have shifted gears too quickly. Gently awakening an Indigo by knocking lightly on the door of the room 0 calling the child’s name softly over a period of ten to thirty minutes in the morning is a gift of love they will repay bright, happy dispositions all day.

While they love dairy products like ice cream and cheese, Indigos often have a physical intolerance to cow’s milk, causes upper respiratory congestion, coughs, runny 0 and ear infections. Substituting goat’s-milk products will them be more comfortable.

Because of their unusually sensitive systems, Indigos need an environment that is more placid and quiet than that required by other children. When subjected to extended periods of strenuous stimulation, their nervous systems become easily overloaded, causing them to become irritable and out of sorts. These children are not spoiled. They simply have different needs. One way to assist them is to play classical music of the baroque period, which provides a stimulus for the side of the brain so that the intuitive side is free to Meditation music by composers such as Steven Halpern, taro, or Vangelis is also helpful. It allows them to feel more at peace with themselves, able to adapt to the shifts and changes in their environment more easily and quickly.

As infants, Indigos develop at a very rapid rate. In manuals dexterity and gross motor coordination they will develop than their peer group during the first two years. As they ponder the problems of manipulation, it is as if the observer is see the step-by-step thinking process of the Indigo. It is fascinating to watch them as they discover, observe, and interact with physical world, sorting and sifting data, making decisions achieving successes far beyond usual expectations. These children are very gifted, but in a new and different way. truly want to understand, not for the sake of enhanced esteem or for the privileges that come to the gifted child, because of their natural inquisitiveness.

I will continue this post in another article thank you Annielise

Questions and answers.

This is an on going post in which  you can ask a straight forward question to spirit and  we see what results come back a few years  back I asked these simple questions and the answers came back. I will however remove it if I keep getting spam the site is designed to help others not to promote your own site. Annielise

Post up date  6th August 2010.

Q I often see others who think they know more and yet when it gets down to it they dont.

A You have answered this question in your question the terminolgy think. You do often get proof off your abilities and gifts sometimes we actually test you to see if you  to see if your own ego is working rather than providing the message. Those who are taking money under false pretence will in the end find they dont really see at all.

Q why is it sometimes I feel that it taking too long. Meaning progressing and doing the work.

A.  The receipe of life is made up of many courses. Starters, Main Course and Deserts. There are many dishes to try before you can say I know what I want because what you want today could be different tomorrow. Instead we give you tasters to work and enjoy to learn and to grow.

Q How now do I progress?

A Like anything it takes time to get where you want to be, the struggle that you have at this moment in time may not seem worth the effort with anything in life that you try it is the things that you
fight for most are the things you value and find rewarding.

Q Am I cut out for the task at hand?

A True only you know your hearts desire you seem to attract those who crave attention with any potential leader you will attract others who need you to help them make decisions and even then where you
give them a lead they will still expect you to act as a crutch. A job, which
you do quite well., yet also realise you have free will and things arn’t always as black and white. You must also allow them to make their own mistakes and encourage them to take the challenge.

Q I am deeply trouble by the fact that all I do is never enough, my energy, my family and my job, what is my next step?

A. You put one foot in front of the other and
take each day as it comes your balance is out of sink, and this makes you
unsure of yourself and of others pull back straight your spine face the world
and remember we are all part of one big plan you can only deal with what is at
hand and make decisions as and when needed. The fact that you struggle with you own insecurities makes you job evenharder be kinder to yourself relax more and go with the flow if you think you cant
you wont just wait and see all will be made clear.

Hi Annielise,
Can you tell me how i can communicate with my spirit guide? I do sense that she guides me, i get a clicking sound in my left ear, sometimes in answer to a question or request i have asked but how can i understand what is being communicated to me. I sometimes use my pendulum to talk with my guide but am not always sure if it is my guide coming through.
When i do past life regressions, i always ask my guide to come forward to help with the regression and usually get the clicking in my ear during a regression with a client, so i do feel that it is my spirit guide with me.
I would apprieciate your feelings on this. Also love this group.
Love and Blessings. xx

Q How can I communicate with my spirit guide? Asked Delilah

A Communicatio is not always seen as a spoken word it can be a sound or gesture.

The thought of spoken instructions are given in various ways. For you its the sign you have the clicking sound in your ear which tunes you in. That is the key which allows you to acknowledge your guide. From this point you will be guided to the next step some people use a tool which gives them the reassurance of a physical connection to work with. If your drawn to the pendulum ask what is the feeling you get is it the direction of the swing of a yes and know answer or is it you knowing that you are doing the right procedure. The guide that works with you has a strong medical back ground and would have been a surgeon and teacher. This also can make her a little frustrated at times due to the fact that she really had to prove herself when she was on the earth plane. She is a no nonsence lady who will expect you to ask her directly in a more efficient manner. The Clicking is also when she wants you to act. I suggest went you mediate and I will add on here a mediation which some of you may want to try. Annielise

Thankyou Annielise,
You are right about the pendulum, I sometimes know with certainty it is my guide communicating, other times it just doesn’t feel right. I guess i will have to start trusting my intuition. The same with the clicking sound, often i will get it as verification of a thought i may have had or a coversation i may be having with someone. I am sorry to keep asking questions but some times the clicking sound is very strong and may go on for months like this then it seems to fade away as if it has stopped and i just get the odd faint click. This is the way it has been for the last few weeks.
Is that because it is a differant guide with a differant energy communicating?
I look forward to the meditation. thank you.xx

Q Why is it that at times the connection seems to be in different depths or strengths.

A. Any commuication is built up on trust and intuition. The sounds and time phrase can differ depending on what type of energy is required.You can a do often have more than one helper or guide that works with you. First you must develope a bond and from that the strength will build up and grow. You cant expect also that you will have a constant stream of informatiion at you side. As with all teaching and learning it a 2 way street and your helper will also have period of quite time in which she also toping up on the next part of the journey for you both.
You have not lost you ability or understanding it just at certain times personal development may be put on hold due to other family commitments. If you read the post quite times this will also give you another side to you own personal path growth. annielise

Thankyou so much, this helps me understand.xx
