Yesterday, I wrote about opening the door, and man did that get my juices stirred up!

In the intuitive sessions I do with clients, I’m amazed at how CREATIVE the messengers are. They say so much of the same things to each person, but they use the person’s life, what matters to that person to say the same thing I hear over and over again – the principles of living in the Truth. I’ve always been in awe of the sheer creativity of being able to say something over and over again in a way that always feel fresh, new and original.

One of the things people ask me the most when I’m out is about when I say, “When you ask, it MUST be given. If you aren’t receiving, that’s not God’s fault! If you are truly asking, it is being given.”

People want to know exactly what do I mean by that. And this is it… God’s promise is that when you ask, it is given. Not sometimes on a good day when the messengers are feeling good. Not every other time when you want something really, really badly, but every time. I believe that with health issues – particularly where children are concerned – this is the hardest to comprehend by the mind. I can’t tell you how many children have gotten sick to bring a family together. Or a pet that has soaked in its master’s toxicity to the point of almost dying. This is how we are all in it together. But, by no means is this a bad thing knowing that God’s grace is always available.

In quantum physics, the universal laws are just as supportive. You send out the call, what you send out comes back to you. It is that simple.

Now, here’s where the jammed up thinking happens. You ask, and then you think you know how it is supposed to play out, you think you know how God is going to handle the delivery, you think you know what the delivery will look like, etc. So, with all of this thinking you go to your door (code for your heart and mind united) and ‘look’ ONLY for what you think is going to be delivered.

This is where everyone gets SO CONFUSED! They treat the divine connection like a to-go service delivery instead of this amazing connection that is full of wonder!

The rub is that your conscious mind is a little pea brain that can only filter a very little bit of what is actually going on around you. God’s power is INFINITE, and the part of you that is God is also INFINITE. This is the part of you to use to connect to God’s gifts! Not, the pea brainer!

Your heart can help alert you to how the gifts are coming, but you must let go of running the show and trying to manage God and the messengers!

Yes, there are some ins and outs on this, and I’m writing my next book as fast as I can to share these with you all. For now, I wanted to shatter some of the myths that people are working under that they can’t rely on God’s grace or that the messengers don’t respond. How NOT true! That is like going up to a computer and not understanding how to run a program and then saying the program doesn’t work. It does, but do you know how to use it?

My experience with these amazing, divine beings is that they are eternally patient, kind and loving. They want nothing more than to serve you and assist you. They are better than any FED EX delivery system as they can orchestrate assistance across thousands of miles in an instant! Can you believe it? How fun!

Here’s a little guidance of what I know:

1. Ask good questions. Ask for what you desire. Keep it simple. Be sure it is what you really want. When I work with clients, I can see where they really believe they are asking for what they want, but they really aren’t. Ask at a very elementary level.

2. Be open to receive it in ANY WAY it shows up. If you want time off and it shows up in the form of a health issue, then take it. This just points to your belief that it is really not a good thing to take time off for yourself. The time off comes in a way that you are willing to accept it. Just because the beginning of the time off looks like a health issue doesn’t mean you have to stay with that storyline. You can let it go and enjoy the ride.

3. Let go of figuring out all of the details. Have fun. Wonder how it is going to happen. Stay alert and on the lookout for your gifts. Most people can see something coming toward them within a week. Yes, you read that correctly – about a week, even for the people who really feel bad about receiving. So, if it has been longer than a week, then you need to ensure that you are really on the lookout.

4. Ensure what you are asking for is true. Many people say, I want to win the lottery. It is so common as most people think money will handle all of their problems. However, what is true for you is what you feel in the core of your heart. What is it you really desire? For many, with this economic downturn, they really wanted to reconnect to their family, to get back to basics, to quit living the rat race. Ka-boom, in comes the economic devastation, ushering in the time to reconnect, but is the gift welcome? No!

5. Relax, you can ask again and again! People act like they get one ticket to ask for something. They get stressed. I better get this right, they think (I’ve done it – I know!). They also don’t want to get it ‘wrong.’ All of this thinking (are we seeing a pattern here? is just slowing you down and zapping your joy. Have fun with this. YOU are the winning ticket and you can ask as many times as you want, all day long, every day, so don’t worry about it. Ask, receive and see what happens. The more you do it, the more you will develop your own connection to God and the Messengers. You can even ask for a better divine connection and relationship with them. That can make the journey even sweeter and more fun!

P.S. You just never know when multiple gifts will arrive in one!

A few days ago, I received an email from a friend asking for any advice, information I might have about a serious affliction her friend was dealing with.

According to the MRI, this friend had several discs out of place in her neck and her tendons looked like they were pulled and scratched to high heaven.

I mentioned that this part of the body is the area that will hold anything that we are not attending to related to our “speaking our truth,” “living our truth,” and “being our truth.”

Over the years, I’ve seen countless women (some men, too, but not as many) with gaping energetic holes around their throats. With time, this scratching and clawing will make its appearance on the surface, i.e., the physical.

My friend forwarded the information to her friend and got a response back that said, “I hate my job. I’ve been praying for another door to open.”

Unfortunately, many people are not very good door openers, i.e., receivers. So, God must offer to them what they ask for in the way that they can receive it. If you aren’t a very good receiver, that open door might look like a chicken neck that has been cracked. Or a stint in a major disease.

All of this is UNNECESSARY, and one of the reasons I’m so PASSIONATE about helping people learn to love themselves. The better you are at receiving, the more that God can gift you and deliver to you all that you desire.

Oh, but that also means you are asking, too! Ask and receive… practice it with me… say it aloud… ASK AND RECEIVE – it starts with ME!

I remember when I was beginning to learn this. I was TERRIBLE at receiving. Oh, yes, I was a WORLD CLASS giver, but a HORRIBLE RECEIVER of giving! Every part of my body felt awkward about accepting something without giving something in return. But, I plunged ahead with my spirit teachers urging me on. Now, I can receive gratefully and happily. It is a joy to allow others to give to me realizing that love can be the only thing between us.

What I didn’t know then that I do know now is that giving and receiving is a big circle. You can’t give without receiving and you can’t receive without giving. So, when you think you are receiving without actually giving something in return – think again. You already have! There’s no debt, no scorekeeping, you’ve done it. Your grateful, easy receiving is the gift to the person giving. Be a GRATEFUL receiver and be a gift to someone else’s giving!

Ask… for what you desire, and realize that asking costs you nothing. Be open to receive in whatever way the item arrives! You just never know. I have so many examples of the creativity of God’s messengers. I’ll share more of those later.

For now…enjoy opening the door to receive as an infinite being worthy of all the gifts of the Universe! And, PLEASE, do not judge the way your gifts flow into your open door!

Before I left, in a prayer, I heard… trust and go, Tina. And I did… not knowing what the trip would hold in store for me. I knew it would be good – everything felt good around it. How wonderful!

For many weeks prior to leaving, I ‘felt’… I need ‘space.’

The Intellectual part of me thought I need WORK space…

Physically, I felt like I needed more space … new house with cathedral ceilings (so we talked to a realtor about listing our house)…

Emotionally, I felt like I needed time alone…

On a soul level, I felt like I was expanding and I had to find space where I could grow larger…

Energetically, I felt like I was being called home…

Many things happened with this attention… offers for office space. A realtor who came over and went over our current house… and a week in a house that has cathedral ceilings (in San Diego). On the emotional, I created time alone and space alone… but still wanted more. On the soul level, several expansion meditations were shared, and energetically, I felt like I came home when I got to California.

It wasn’t until I was in the presence of the ocean that I realized it was my heart that was asking for beauty and expansion … and then I felt satisfied in the presence of the ocean and the beauty, and I actually stood there exhaling feeling like… ah, I made it. I felt like I could run my energy across the ocean as far as it could go and let go…truly let go and surrender.

What a gift…

                                and all I had to do was trust.

Yes, it IS July in Texas, and it is HOT. Did we say 105 degrees hot? Yes, it is H-O-T.

But then Mr. Chance Ferguson decided he wanted to go to Six Flags. True, his wonderful parents DID take him in 101 degree weather TWICE already this SUMMER.

The truth also is that we told him we would not go again for the rest of the summer due to the heat (or, rather, threat of heat stroke). This is where the story gets funny…

So I hear Chance in the other room talking to God asking God to make it rain so he can go to Six Flags. This is not unusual for Chance as we’ve taught him to ask and talk to God about EVERYTHING, and he has seen so many times that his weather requests are granted, he can boldly say… I asked for that!

Sure enough… about a day later, the rains come in, the clouds billowed in, the temp dropped to 75! And Chance is positively BEAMING and announcing that it is going to be cool ALL WEEK LONG!

I have to say… I love his spirit. He rarely will take no for an answer… and even when we arrived at Six Flags and he saw that the coaster he wanted to ride was closed due to clouds, he just asked for the sun to come out, which it did, then it got hot, so he asked for the clouds to come again, which they did, then it sprinkled, and another coaster shut down, so he asked for it to stop raining, which it did, and he manifested an entire day exactly the way he wanted, riding every ride he intended, and leaving well after his parents wanted to.

Isn’t it fun?

I enjoy watching it… and watching the clouds move in and out.

On the way home, we watched the most gorgeous sunset. The clouds were iridescent pink and purple. I can’t remember a more beautiful sunset.

Then Chance asked… “Mom, aren’t the clouds beautiful?”

I said, “Mmmm, hummm, yes, they are… they look like a painting.”

Then Chance said… “God made it just like that.”

Yes, that’s perfect.

Wow, where DID the last few days go? I’ve been M-I-A! It has been busy with new coaching clients, new business consulting clients, well… lots of new clients, including our Small Business, Big Success program (I added my Practice Builder for the last six months of the year to really TURBO CHARGE the rest of 2009).

Yes, I’ve been busy, but I LOVE to write to all of you. I feel like it is my way to connect one-to-one (yes, I can feel you) even though it is me shooting off stuff into the void.

To all of you who have emailed – I want you to know that I read each one of your emails and I ALWAYS pray for you and ask for God’s messengers to assist you on your path. Thank you for sharing your world with me – I feel grateful to walk with you.

In less than a week, it is amazing how many insights a person can have, and I want to share ALL of them with you. I am constantly humbled by how elegant and how phenomenal our world and universe is. There truly is order in the cosmos.

Be sure to work with your heavenly team to enrich your own life and the life of others.

A few days ago, I blogged about music, and got so wrapped up in sharing all kinds of resources that I lost myself in the entry. An hour later, Mark came in and said, “WHAT are you doing?” I was totally lost in my world of music, going through my mental Rolodex to share my favs for meditating, journeying, and, of course, shaking your booty!

Apparently, that post wasn’t meant to be as my computer flickered and then *POOF* (insert Fairly Oddparents big cartoon cloud here) it was all gone!

Oddly, though, I had no reaction. I mean, seriously, I had probably 20 links to other sites (that I looked up individually) where you could tap into these amazing artists, etc. and NO reaction. No frustration… no irritation…nothing. Just, “Well, guess that wasn’t meant to be!”

Later that evening, I wondered about the non-response… Why didn’t I react to what could easily have seen as frustrating? And, quite honestly, something I have reacted to before.

What came to me was that the post was really for me. And, it was a way for me to appreciate these artists for their company along my journey. The hour was spent in gratitude…thankful for each one of these people who followed their hearts to do what they love, and because they did, I enjoyed their gifts.

I have close to 10,000 CDs… a serious music collector of everything from rap (Fergie) to trance music (Liquid Bloom) to classical (Vivaldi is my favorite). I truly love to listen to the words and the vibe behind this art.

The one thing I really wanted to share in that lost post is that music is God’s medicine chest. Feeling down? Put on some positive music or music that connects you to a happy time and instantly you are in another energy and place. Feeling scared? Put on a track that reminds you of a time when you were fearless. Music can LITERALLY transport you into a better, more productive energy. And, how simple is that?
