Insights for Spiritual Growth

I had a dream recently in which I was having a long conversation with an older woman whom I did not know or recognize. I can’t remember much of the dream except that she seemed to know a lot about me and what is currently going on in my life (I lost my job a month ago and am also having a few health issues.). It was as if she was giving me advice about how to cope with these challenges. Is there any way this could have been one of my spirit guides trying to help me? Suzy
My gut reaction (which is what I always trust) is yes, you were visiting with one of your guides during sleep. I have had the same experience as you and although it’s difficult to remember many of these dreams, I’ve learned to trust that my spiritual companions are helping me by letting me in on what I call “the Big Picture”- a spiritual overview of what is currently happening in my life.
Understand that when we sleep, we frequently engage in astral travel, which is our soul’s journey into the vast, non-material world of our spiritual essence. The astral plane- also called the spirit world- is where we go when we travel out of our physical bodies at night and our destination when we make transition upon death. Our spirit guides who have agreed to help us, reside here and can easily connect to us at night when we visit there. During sleep our rational brain is resting and we become naturally open to the spiritual dimensions.
Spirit guides are loving souls who offer guidance, wisdom and remembrance of our identity as spiritual beings who are having a physical experience. Their role in our life is to help us connect with the spark of the Divine within- the Higher Self- by reminding us to live in harmony with this primary identity. They always work through and with the Higher Self and are aware of our life missions, karma and challenges. My sense is that your guide was offering you encouragement in the midst of your current challenges, which do not- from a spiritual vantage point- restrict or limit the magnitude of your spirit. To connect with your guides during waking time, mediate daily.

Do you have a question about the Other Side or metaphysical spirituality? Please email it to carole@soulvisions.net. I cannot answer personally, but if it is something that will likely benefit others, I will address it in a future newsletter.

Inspirational Article

Spiritual Intuition: Listening to the Voice of Your Soul

Intuition is the ability to sense and interpret the energy of people, places and things without using the five physical senses and the rational mind. Spiritual intuition is this ability as it applies to connecting you with the direction, divine mission and promptings of your soul.
Spirit is the divine life-force that flows in and through everyone and everything in the universe. Spiritual intuition operates independently of the logical, rational portion of the brain and is received in the right hemisphere of the brain through the inner senses of clairvoyance (seeing in the mind’s eye), clairaudience (listening to telepathic thoughts) and clairsentience (sensing and feeling.)
There are three basic principles that apply to developing intuition- focus, intent and trust. I call them the FIT trio. If you employ each of these when using your intuition, you’ll be spiritually fit.
Focus gives you the laser-sharp lens you need to read and discern the specific qualities of energy. If you practice meditation for at least 15 minutes per day, you’ll increase your ability to focus. This will give you the clarity you need to zero in on your intuitive “target.”
Intent answers the questions “For what purpose am I doing this?” and “What do I want to discover in this particular intuitive process?” For example, if reading a person, it’s good to get into the practice of asking Spirit for the most helpful, accurate, healing information you can receive in the course of the reading. If you intend to receive information about a particular situation in your own life, write a focused question about that situation prior to meditating.
Trust enables you to easily rely on what your intuition reveals to you. It’s the golden key that unlocks the door to your inner senses and to the guidance of your soul. Your rational brain will always discourage you from trusting the voice of your intuition, so you must learn to disregard its interference long enough to allow the inner impressions to flow. Practicing stillness in meditation will help.
Patience and practice are necessary in the process of developing intuitively. Much like learning a new language, opening to intuition requires dedication, willingness and time. Do not become discouraged if you don’t feel you are tuning in immediately. Each meditation or spiritual exercise you do strengthens your brain’s capacity to recognize and use the inner senses. Soon it will become second nature to you and you will easily hear and sense the voice of your soul’s wisdom.


Nothing real can be threatened.
Nothing unreal exists.
Herein lies the peace of God.
