appears to be random circumstance, loss or disrup-

    As reviewed his guidance it better sunk in. At the time that he
    shared this with me I thought it was interesting, but I did not fully grasp its significance. I now realized the importance of listening
    within and following our inner guidance. Of course, had he told
    me that my car would go sailing through the air; I might have paid
    more attention. I have since come to realize that when we fail to
    listen to the signs and inner voice the message intensifies and hits us harder.
    The Elder told me that our spirit guides and angels also com-
    municate to us through our everyday experiences. Often these mes-
    sages are subtle and appear to be luck and chance happenings. You
    may have experienced this yourself. Have you ever had a day where
    everything seems to fall into place? You readily drive through the
    green lights, you impress your co-workers with a unique solution
    to a problem and your family notices and thanks you for the little
    things that you do to make their lives easier. Events and circum-
    stances flow effortlessly. You are at the right place at the right time.
    Then there are other days when you get stuck behind a bus and
    miss the beginning of an important meeting, plans that you have
    been looking forward to fall through and your friends are too busy
    to keep a much needed lunch date. When you are going in the right
    direction life flows along smoothly. When you are not, obstacles,
    interruptions and disruptions impede your progress. Your spirit
    guides work behind the scene to help you to attract the right op-
    portunities and avoid the people and situations that will cause you stress and grief. If you are pushing too hard in a direction which
    conflicts with the experiences and lessons that you have come here
    to learn, your guides will let you know by creating difficulties and frustrating delays.
    Emotional Stress
    As I more closely studied the Elder’s teachings, I became more
    motivated to pursue work as a medium and counselor. I devoted

    myself to school and began in earnest to give medium readings. Al-
    though I continued to work part time as an art therapist, I rented
    space in a healing center and put effort into building more of a
    spiritual practice. I was fortunate to quickly become busy with clients. However I soon discovered another inner obstacle. I had ini-
    tially thought that my resistance to intuitive work was due to my
    desire to be an artist. It wasn’t long, however, before I realized another inner hindrance. I was very emotionally sensitive and not just to energy and the unseen world. Feeling the pain, grief, confusion
    and distress of others was at times overwhelming. Many of the peo-
    ple that I worked with were experiencing hardship and great loss.
    Mothers grieving the passing of a child, others who lost their jobs, were in physical pain or emotionally distressed and lonely came to
    see me for guidance and advice. Their pain and confusion began
    to emotionally affect me. Waking at night thinking of my clients,
    feeling their stress and pain at all hours was becoming the norm. To add to my stress I began to wonder if I was actually helping anyone.
    Feelings of inadequacy and over sensitivity to others suffering be-
    came more and more consuming. I knew that these thoughts and
    feelings were not healthy. I needed to get a grip on my emotions
    and reactions. I sought advice and help through a number of dif-
    ferent sources. I read books written by psychics and mediums, but
    no one seemed to address what I was experiencing. I meditated and
    turned to my guides for support and I sought the counsel of other
    healing practitioners. Yet again, help came in an unexpected way.
    Angelic Healing
    The angelic realm came to my rescue. Growing up in a religious
    home I was familiar with the concept of angels. In my young Sun-
    day school days,
