Friends As Fellowship

Friends as Fellowship are one of the most powerful assets a human being could have. Life is challenging on this planet. With loving friends who have our back we know that we are not alone in the world.
When we have friends as fellowship we have a built in support system to help us along the way especially when the chips are down. Sharing our weaknesses and challenges in life with a friend who doesn't judge us and instead listens to us share our pain is very healing. Receiving encouragement and positive feedback is such a gift.
It's wonderful to share good news with friends as fellowship as the joy increases a hundred fold. Hugs, pats on the back, positive words to cheer us on during times of celebration warm the heart.
Joy of Fellowship
The joy of fellowship is a gift that shows up in the smiling eyes of a helpful neighbor, visiting aging parents, having lunch with a good buddy and listening to a suffering friend.
For three years now I have been consistently going to Alanon meetings. Alanon is a spiritual program based on the 12 steps of recovery for the family disease of alcoholism. Weekly I receive the joy of fellowship when we all share our pain, joy, challenges and inspiration for recovery and healing one step at a time in a loving atmosphere void of judgement.
Weekly I share my journey of recovery with men and women who at first are strangers. Over time we become friends who grow together using the 12 steps to guide us to let go and let God. The joy of fellowship in Alanon has allowed the Divine's healing to take place within me by my learning to take better care of self. Learning to detach from my adult child, allowing him his own lessons on his path gives me more space to focus on my life.
Suffering Consciously
Suffering consciously is about bearing the weakness of others like Jesus did when he hung on the cross. Meditation, prayer, intention and commitment to one's spiritual path is needed in order to respond to others as Jesus did when he spoke these words to God the Father.
"Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing." Jesus
We suffer unnecesarrily when we react to others' weaknesses and judge them for it. Suffering consciously is about witnessing other's weaknesses without judgement and responding instead from love and compassion.
In suffering consciously we are called upon to be humble, understanding and present in the moment to the other person's weakness and suffering. By doing so alchemy occurs where the lower energies are transformed into higher energies creating the "gold" of consciousness from our higher self. The ego or false self wants to be in charge like an undisciplined child. We are challenged to grow and live from our higher self instead.
Friends as fellowship give us this unique opportunity to transform ourselves spiritually by bearing witness to each others journey of the soul with love and compassion instead of judgement and reaction. The gifts of friendship are joy, love,peace, and healing. And so it is!

For more than 28 years I have been helping many people from all walks of life and across the world including India, China and England.
Some clients prefer to come for an Intuitive Reading in person. However, the majority of my clients call me for phone sessions. Intuition is unlimited as God is unlimited so it doesn't matter whether you are in the same room with me or in Hong Kong! My intention is the same - to serve as a channel of clarity and healing to assist you in all areas of your life. Doing this work makes me happy. I am so blessed to be able to help people and do what I love.
Intuitive Readings in Seattle,WA and by Phone
When a client sets up an Intuitive Reading session with me I suggest that they write down their questions before the session. The specific questions help the client to focus their intention on what they want guidance for in their life.
At the beginning of the Intuitive Reading with each individual, I go into a meditative state and ask Spirit to allow me to be a clear and pure channel of love, healing and guidance for the client. The answer to each question flows through me in words and pictures. The information that I channel is spiritual yet practical.
I encourage all of my clients to:
Live your true potentialr
Feel your own wholenessr
Experience inner peace and joyr
Express your creativityr
Be who you really are- perfectly human and perfectly diviner

Unfortunately, I hear it often from clients and random conversations with friends and other people that they want to consider a person to be clueless or even stupid because that person did not understand them hinting about an issue.
