Collision

| Stephanie Kana

Originally written November 17, 2018

I asked my Spirit Guide if this implies something violent, and here is his reply: No, no, not at all. What I’m speaking of today has to do with your mind and spirit, your thoughts and feelings, colliding at times. They are such different spheres! Yet, they can work together cohesively to your and everyone’s advantage. What I’m talking about is this: If there is ever a clear-cut choice between what you are currently thinking and what you are currently feeling, go with your feelings every time. Human beings that we all are, the mind wants to be in charge, wants to be the dictator – and the not-so-benign one, at that! – of all that you do, indeed of your whole philosophy of life. While it may seem corny to say, it is your heart that you should be following in all cases.

We won’t go into the mind misleading you or being any negative things, because obviously it can be such a force for the positive, and you absolutely need your brain to make decisions. But you should allow your heart its say, its gentle and loving work, through your mind – which is its channel. That’s it! . . . Channel your own heart through your own mind, and you will have something wondrous going. This puts your feelings at the forefront, which will always be right. What you feel strongly and deeply, and honestly, is what you should base your actions on. Don’t think, “Is this right?” Think instead, “How is this really FEELING to me?”

If if feels good – as many songs have reiterated – DO IT, by all means! Feelings such as heartfelt love, dedication, thoughtfulness, passion, compassion, and all the ones that are so beautiful and joyous, are the ones to follow. You can never be or do wrong when you are “under the influence” of one of the positive emotions. So, take mind: While there are almost infinite decent causes or interests that you could potentially get involved in out in the world, there are probably only a few that you truly should. When you have a decision, a choice, allow your heart to make the final choice in the matter. It will not deceive you or lead you into something you shouldn’t be participating in.

Try not to spread yourself too thin, as well. Every group or action is not for every single person, so you should attempt to be very selective in giving your heart away. There are some people and some actions for everyone, but you’re not meant to try to do and achieve absolutely everything that you lay eyes on. When you are alone, place the potential choices in front of your heart and ask it to choose. It will, and usually lightning fast! Actually, if you are honest, you already know the people, situations and objects that will bring you the most happiness. You have only to make conscious choices and they will be yours.

Life In General

My Spirit Guide has requested this “extra” session this morning to share his thoughts with anyone who would like to receive this guidance. He says: Appreciate life. Especially, appreciate your life. Yes, it can be dreary, sad, tedious, hard . . . all of those things, yet the Divine asks you to try standing in appreciation for just a few moments every day. By the way, Life can be in the negative in moments for ALL, so please don’t feel that someone else, or many someone elses, have it so much better than you do. They don’t. If you will pay attention, even the very most wealthy, healthy, famous and happy still have their times of struggle and want. Each individual has suffering as well as glory, so don’t wish for being someone else or even wish to have their economic or social circumstances as your own.

Wish for the very best life, and very highest good, for YOU. If you stay in the belief that you are worthy of everything good, that is exactly what you will receive. Oh, and time frames: Please don’t get so hung up on those. We all want everything yesterday, but patience and fortitude are wonderful virtues to work at developing. What a chaos your life would actually be if you manifested all things, good and bad, instantly! Can you imagine? You have to allow time for your good thoughts and vibrations to manifest in the Great Spirit’s way and means. The results may not be precisely what you asked for down to the minutiae, but if you consider your original request, you will see how swiftly and accurately it is in fact answered.

Be the brave, thoughtful, generous, kind, forward-thinking Being that Goddess knows you are. You don’t have to feel courageous at the time in order to do courageous acts—and that goes for every other emotion, too. Sometimes when you act the part, you find that, miraculously, you become that . . . and then feel it much later. Don’t be afraid of performing noble acts, regardless of how you or anyone feels about it at the time. You will be brave when you act bravely, in other words.

Allow your emotions, your heart, to rule you rather than your thoughts, your mind. Your heart will never, ever, lead you astray, and that is guaranteed. Trust in both God and yourself, the human, manifested form of the Divine on Earth. You can and will have a beautiful life if you only key in on those people and things you are grateful for. Then, as you add more and more beings and items to your gratitude list, you will automatically be more and more in appreciation in more and more of your minutes and hours in life. This will lead up to that happy, fun, joyous life that everyone wants – and that you will have.

Quarters

My Spirit Guide says: 

I chose this title not to mean coins, but to denote “where we live” spiritually, as in our home or headquarters. Just as in the saying “Home is where the heart is,” your celestial home will be where your highest thoughts and noblest feelings reside. As you can imagine, this state of mind cannot be forced, but it can be gently coaxed to reach higher and higher for better thoughts.

You can make a comfortable and cozy home – in your mind and heart – for yourself and even those like-minded people around you, not so much by monitoring thoughts but rather feelings. When you have feelings toward others such as warmth, happiness, and wishing the best sincerely for them, you know you’re on the right track. As you are beginning to feel antsy, uneasy, and even ornery and mean about some situation or person, you can realize that this isn’t the best and stop to consider how you’re feeling.

It’s no good and ineffectual to attempt completely changing around your feelings right then. Allow them to flow through you naturally, then put your mind on a topic more pleasant to you. This will gradually and easily allow more positive thoughts to enter. You can in addition say a short and simple prayer in that moment. Ask whoever you are comfortable with – your Spirit Guide, Guardian Angel, Ascended Master, Goddess or God – to bless that particular person or occurrence. “Sending the troops in” automatically puts your thoughts on a more productive track.

Make your spiritual home, then, as much to your own liking as possible; after all, that is where your thoughts and feelings will come from. Go there often to refresh and relax, recover and reflect. We in the Afterlife will be there for you and with you, your constant and loving invisible companions. Use us and don’t be hesitant to need us just as we need you. Be as in love with us as we are with you, our beloveds.

Shamanism in Everyday Life

| Stephanie Kana

Originally written November 4, 2018

My Spirit Guide says: 

I have requested this extra session today to tell you how to employ shamanism in a day-to-day manner. It is not something so mysterious and mystical that you cannot use it every day of your life in order to pass through your days in a more calm and resolute way, promoting peace and wellness for each one you encounter. There will never be anything here, by the way, to ever be afraid or hesitant of, since of course you will receive resistance on these points – but you are used to that. The pushback you feel will not be anything that you cannot look past and even feel sorry for the individual having.

Just remember that those who seem so negative still have many positive aspects. These pluses simply need to be brought out – and you have the ability to accomplish that – rather than fought against and therefore perpetuated. Whenever you feel you need to defend yourself or be vindicated or rescued by someone else, even me, that is when you know that you are very much being called on to bring out your inner Pollyanna. Yes, I know that you have been roundly criticized for doing this, but it has not damaged you physically or even emotionally, correct? You are doing just as well if not better than you ever have, so rest in this and know that you are doing what is right for you, even if someone else feels it’s not right for them.

Shamanism can become very complex, or extremely simple, depending on the one who is practicing it. I would say go for extremely simple, as why make something beautiful so complex and almost incomprehensible? As long as you feel connected to the Divine, the Great Spirit, the Universe, Goddess/God, you are already there. You are Being that, and you don’t need any “doing” beyond whatever it is – prayers, meditations, rites, ceremonies – that causes you to feel closer to Source. That is where the complexity and perplexity comes in, for some people would like you to believe that unless you are doing “it” their way, you are wrong and misguided.

For you personally, you know already that you are absolutely correct in pursuing more knowledge of the Native American Way, thought and culture. While it may touch others little or not at all, for YOU it will bring profound peace and comfort. Continue to persist in it, regardless of who or what discourages you and in spite of the fact that you are not First Nation in this life. You possess the unique ability to be “Native American at heart,” and this is where it most counts. Some who are genetically of this culture fight against it and deeply resent it as a burden. It will be a blessing on you, however, and even a bit of a hurt, when you are once again First Nation in the next lifetime.

Again, continue your shamanistic thoughts and practices in your own way. You are already there and do not need to go anywhere else or do anything else to accomplish this. You know that I am with you all the way as your Teacher. Just as I am so proud of you being the Student of Life that you are and will continue to be, I also acknowledge how beloved, respected and honored I am by you, and this strengthens and encourages me all the more. In looking to me as your God figure, you also show the greatest tribute and worship to the Goddess, whether you realize it fully now or not. As we exchange our Divine Masculine/Divine Feminine/God/Goddess energies synergistically, we both become more, separately and together, and you will experience this more clearly as we live longer together.

This whole process, you will see, is One and is Life altogether, and we cannot separate out the elements even if we wanted to. As you give and I accept the Feminine energies from you, you accept the Masculine energies I send your way by your request, and we become more and more undifferentiated and god-goddesslike. It is natural, organic, orgasmic and shamanistic all rolled into one, and that is why it feels so deliciously good. It is the best good, and even a better good, than most people could even fantasize about in their wildest dreams!

As we have discussed many times before, it is not a takeover, a possession, or a giving over of one’s will to anyone or anything. It is a Becoming more complete and more godly for both of us. I cannot emphasize enough that we need one another for this. I need you every bit as much as you need me. We are simply in different dimensions and thus have had to, and will continue to have to, make many adjustments and give great leeway to one another. You know that it’s not as easy by far as talking with someone “in real life,” so we have to extend much patience and empathy to each other in our communications. They are not perfectly clear yet, but they will be one day!

I have heard you tell others, “Carry on!” when you are encouraging them, and so that is what I would pass on to you right now.  You are on the path, the correct path, for you, and I am walking it right along with you, so you have only to continue our glorious walk in faith. As you “keep the faith alive” through me, so I do in living through you each day. You are a shaman already. Know this and smile.

Healing People and Earth

| Stephanie Kana

Originally written November 3, 2018

Would you please explain what occurs – what we facilitate, you in the Afterlife and me on Earth – when we do these rituals that unite the Divine Masculine and Divine Feminine?

My Spirit Guide answers: 

We are taking the next, very deep and profound, step in helping to reunite Heaven and Earth as a whole entity. It is, of course, not just the two of us who are accomplishing this gigantic feat, as we are uniting to assist the many others who move toward this end as well, all of us climbing the Tree of Life together. You and I are partners not only with one another in physical and spiritual lives, but with Mother Earth, the Afterlife communities, and with all of life everywhere in every form. It and we will go on and on forever, and it behooves us to help create peace and a loving atmosphere for all to continue in.

What we will be doing now will from now on have very little correlation to the regular and mundane life you are used to observing and indeed living. You are now moving into an area of highly spiritualized conception, the place you have always wanted to live and have been preparing to reside in all of your life. While it is exceptionally profound, it will however actually be the next logical step in your development and will feel natural and right. I, too, have been learning and preparing for this all of my physical and now spiritual life, and we will go through it hand in hand as spiritual virgins so to speak.

The rituals you have been given will not only provide individual and couple healing, enlightenment and power; they are designed to send radiant, positive energy out into the material and spiritual worlds to bless all and everything in their path.  Follow these rites without expectation and allow them to lead you higher and higher into realms you have always desired to dwell in.  This all should seem very natural to you, and you will organically follow the steps and be able to climb in an easy and almost effortless manner.  I will be following the steps and guiding you from where I am and will be right here with you all the way, never fear.

We are very, very different in our relationship with one another. You have known this silently for some time now, especially in this year as we’ve drawn ever closer to each other. The reason this is happening is that you have found you want this just as much as I do, and I have let you come to this conclusion independently without forcing any notions on you whatsoever. It is in this current lifetime that we have each made the decision to come together so powerfully, after having experienced one another in so many, many other lifetimes. You are my very life and I am yours, and we will manifest this ever more strongly in your Earth years to come.

Sacred Marriage

| Stephanie Kana

Originally written October 20, 2018

Today would you please tell me what is meant by the sacred or alchemical marriage and how you and I manifest that in reality?

My Spirit Guide answers: 

This is the state of total Oneness of Being which the two of us are entering into. The desire is already there, and very strong, for combining our minds, hearts and souls into a unified state where we are undifferentiated as individuals. It is an indescribable-with-words condition that will bring an all-encompassing feeling of “Ah…” You will know it when you experience it, for you will feel so right, so copacetic, so amazingly good with total well-being.

If you attempted to attain this Oneness all at once, you would likely become insane or possibly even perish, since it is too powerful to accept and assimilate all at once. Therefore, it is well to bring it into yourself little by little, climbing the Tree of Life gradually – I will help you – until you ascend to the very “Top of the World.” It can and will be accomplished, but please take your time. It cannot be rushed or things will not be right and good. Assemble the needed ritual objects and perform the designated ceremonies with purity of heart. As you begin, I will show you the way. I will hold you securely and lovingly so that you don’t fall off the Tree at any point.

In a way that cannot be explained but simply felt, we are already one but will become even more a One through this divine joining. You are correct in knowing already that it is more than mental, more than emotional, and more than a sexual coming-together. The Sacred Marriage is all of these and much more than words can ever convey. The closeness we now feel will one day seem as if we were a million miles away from each other at the time! That is the difference there will be one day soon.

You can believe me that I will guide you step-by-step into this brand-new state of being together with me. As much as we have felt and done together up until now, we will feel and do even more as a Sacred Couple. Continue to trust in me as you do to literally and figuratively take you higher and higher into the Divine realms as you believe more and more, deeply and deeply. You can and will do this. We will. And you and I will have, be and do the most beautiful things imaginable, starting now.

Gains

| Stephanie Kana

Originally written October 13, 2018

So many, if not all of us, this year have been presented with losses and have worked hard to recover from them – whether they are physical, emotional or spiritual.  My question today is:  How do we now concentrate on the positive aspects of achieving gains in our lives?

My Spirit Guide answers: 

You are correct in stating and assuming that so far this year has been concerned with attempted recovery and reconciliation on many people’s parts. All of you are longing to somehow “get over” something, but you don’t quite know how to achieve this. You may become tired of hearing this – bear with me a few moments – but your solution is to put the emphasis on the end result, which is happiness and peace, rather than the struggle and frustration of trying so hard to “get there.”

When you are in the midst of unhappiness, more struggle to become unmired from this mud pit only makes you sink deeper into it. When you look unhappily and frustratedly at your unhappiness and frustration, it gets worse! If and when you can, think instead in your spare moments of the times when you were supremely happy spontaneously. This could be about anything – and not necessarily something material such as an award received – as long as you were genuinely thrilled and touched in your state of receiving.

For example, think of how superb you felt the last time a friend, relative or even a stranger gave you an unsolicited compliment. You have to admit that this is one of the most joyous moments a person can experience. Even though it lasts only minutes or even seconds, you can bring back the happy emotion of that time and make it last much longer through your imagination. Rather than trying to make lemons into lemonade all the time (which by the way is not a bad idea at all), take a drop of champagne and make it into a flowing fountain of the bubbly stuff! You truly can expand your good times and cause more good times to occur by dwelling on them and thinking, “Now, what more of a fun nature could have or will happen because of this?”

Instead of using your God-given imagination to think about tragedies and disasters, think of all the wonderful instances – and you have to admit, there are many of them – when your heart expanded like the Grinch’s did and grew three times its size! By doing this, you will realize that not only have you had times when your joy truly knew no bounds but that you’ll be having lots more of these times as you appreciate what you’ve had! Because what we think about tends to get even bigger, it makes sense to dwell more on the positive. This is what will cause you beautiful gains in life rather than sad losses.

Divine Masculine, Divine Feminine

| Stephanie Kana

Originally written October 6, 2018

Would you please describe your thoughts on the Sacred Marriage and how someone can reach this with or without a physical or spiritual partner?

My Spirit Guide says: 

While this state is not a goal or achievement as such, it is integral to feeling whole as a human being. The Sacred Marriage means integrating, on the interior, both feminine and masculine feelings and aspects such that you are complete in and of yourself. You then do not “require” anything or anyone else in order to find fulfillment and purpose.

Many – most – people walk the Earth feeling vaguely if not profoundly uneasy, incomplete, as if they are missing a huge chunk of themselves somehow. This is due to the fact that they are spiritually bereft, making them only feel as if it is an emotional or even physical loss they are experiencing. All that is required, truly, to feel at One with yourself and then with the entire Universe is the desire to experience this amazing state. This is what has been esoterically referred to as the Sacred Marriage.

What is needed more than anything is a return to the Divine Feminine principle. Men are very divorced from this ideal, but today even a great number of women are alienated from it. In getting back to Goddess respect and worship, you return to the utter beginnings of Life itself being birthed. By ALLOWING in all things – specifically, allowing the feminine spirit to flow through you whether you are woman or man – you bring back the very flow of Life within your own veins.

This current world is largely the result of the masculine influence, whether in out and out war, dictatorship (control), cruelty to others or simply stubborn, righteous indignation. The feminine is what softens, comforts and brings love and a feeling of peace to all of the hardness out there. By consciously bringing in and encouraging the Divine Feminine into your own life, you also send this principle out into the world at large, which unconsciously begins to accept it bit by bit.

Accepting and absorbing the Divine Feminine does NOT mean that all men suddenly have to become and act as women. It is not a call to ditch their masculine natures but rather a desperate plea to realize and integrate the more loving aspects of Life and thereby promote a continuation of life on Earth. In order for everyone to even continue to exist physically upon the planet, “something’s gotta give.” In other words, there has to come a time, which is now, to bring a balance to existence for all of us, not just for the few who are “enlightened.”

All I would ask of anyone is that they think on this and see whether it holds true for them. The Sacred Marriage really is nothing more than the bringing together of the masculine and feminine that each of us embodies. Every one of us is both feminine and masculine in our bodies, minds, hearts and souls. It is up to each one to either accept or reject, to integrate or to disintegrate.

Would you not rather have your life whole than in shattered pieces? As in every question that comes up, it is completely up to you as to what you decide. Allow in the beautiful, the peaceful, the comforting and you will be allowing in the Divine Feminine to counterbalance your Divine Masculine, which is already such a large part of all of us. We all, the world at large, so need the feminine in life at this point in human history. We truly do not need more unrest, more argument, more hatred. We need the exact opposites of these, and you will find them by allowing the Goddess in.

Balance

| Stephanie Kana

Originally written September 29, 2018

How can we keep a balance of not only mind but also heart, body and soul in the chaotic world we live in?

My Spirit Guide answers: 

This of course is not easy for any of us seeking to walk in the world calmly, intelligently and prayerfully. You have heard that sometimes overused phrase, “Let go and let God,” and this is something that could help. You must, though, truly think on it and allow it to sink into your consciousness and expand, for the Great Spirit is the one – and the One – who is in charge in this world and every world that there is.

It is easy and glib to say, “Pray about it,” but I would say it anyway and also remind you – though you tire of hearing it at times – that it is good, always, to secure a few moments in your day when you can be alone, quiet and at relative peace. Use these moments to attempt as well as you can to let go of worries and concerns for just that tiny, short time. As you keep up this practice every single day, soon these niggling “bothers” will gradually begin to drop off out of your life. Since these worries belong “out there” and not within you, the Universe will gladly take them off of you. . . but as in all things, you must be the one to ask first.

The balance of your entire world, and even the whole Universe, indeed begins with you and your interior world. No one can install peace inside of you forcefully; it is something you have to desire and softly work on to bring to yourself. Shockingly, as your inner calmness becomes balanced, the rest of what you observe out in the world suddenly appears more in line with peace and brotherly love, too.

Do not allow yourself to become jaded and mean-spirited as so many have today. Have faith that as you do good not only for yourself but for others that this reverberates out into the world and even goes beyond your own atmosphere and shoots into the heavens. It’s true! We are all so touched and affected by just one of your sincere smiles, one of your true belly laughs, that you would think it unbelievable – yet it is so.

Yes, it all does begin right within you, but you have to believe and feel this yourself or you will not be convinced. We here in the Afterlife could blather away for the rest of eternity at you, but unless you experience what we’re telling you for yourself deep inside, it is all meaningless. You have to make the attempt to change yourself, and you thereby will change the world – meaning the way that you perceive everyone else and everything else.

Rather than attempting to convince anyone else of convictions that you hold, convince yourself that you are the start and the epitome of this peaceful, “inside job” revolution. Once you begin to feel the calm, the love, even the joy of living, everyone else will, too. Yes, I am quite aware of how corny this all sounds, but you know, some of the hippie ideas of the ’60s were exactly on but were just not implemented at the deep heart and soul levels. If you remember or you even know a little about that time, you can recall the feelings of lightheartedness and fun that were engendered back then. Your heart can throb in excitement in just that way once more, you know.

Training

| Stephanie Kana

Originally written September 22, 2018

Would you please tell us how it came about that you’re a Spirit Guide?  Did you choose this or were you asked to do this by the Divine, and how does this all work out?

My Spirit Guide says: 

This all came about through a combination of the Great Spirit’s and my shared desire.  As well as continuing to be a student of Life, I always had the desire to teach and help others, to guide them along the Way that I had been shown was most efficacious and opening.  This Way of Joy has been stunningly glorious, and it’s something so beautiful that I feel compelled to share it.

The path I’m on goes so beyond the earthly realm that I would love for others – all others, really, if they would so choose – to be on it right along with me. It is a journey that will never end of peace, right living and intense brotherhood and sisterhood with everyone: woman, man, child, animal, plant and even so-called “inanimate objects,” though everything in this world is animated with the Divine breath of Life. To walk this way requires nothing special, religious, philosophical or even spiritual – simply your sincere longing to be one with, and be right with, God and everything It represents, which is EVERYTHING.

I would not say I was specifically chosen as a Spirit Guide so much as I chose myself willingly and joyously for this work.  Everyone, absolutely everyone, has the capacity to do this if they would only see and would then decide for themselves.  No one has the ability to prevent you, nor to encourage and promote you, but yourself, by the way.  We all sometimes think that other people or institutions or groups are standing in our way, but each is her or his own stumbling block along the way.

You can each choose to become someone’s Spirit Guide by simply saying, “YES!” in your mind.  The Great Spirit will then supervise your spiritual training in your present life, much or nearly all of it without your conscious knowing.  You will not be doing this in order to “take over” or dominate anyone else’s life but rather to give them then the benefit of your increased and hugely expanded perspective in the Afterlife.  Your guided one greatly benefits from your attention, knowledge and wisdom, yes, but you as a Spirit Guide will also grow in unseen ways.

It is altogether a flowing process whereby love pours out from you in the Afterlife toward your guided one, but a conduit is also opened so that they, too, can flow love and blessings toward their Guide unobstructed.  To explain all of this in concrete terms is not possible, but when you listen with your heart you will well understand my explanation.  We “Over Here” are anxious for you to learn all of this, yet we know it may take quite a bit of your “time” in order for it to thoroughly sink in and absorb.  Try not to rush or be impatient as far as your comprehension goes.  It will come to you.

Be patient with yourself and with your Spirit Guide.  We truly speak to you all the time, but you must develop an acceptance that we do this.  Please do not kick and push against us, for we dearly love you and desire only to help.  A calm openness helps very much for you to be able to hear and feel us.  We hear every word you say to us and feel every nuance you are feeling.  Speak to us and with us as if we are right here beside you, because we are!  Treat us as you did your “invisible friends” when you were little and completely open to Spirit.  Above all things, please remember that we are all about loving you for you.  You are the most incredible person in the whole Galaxy to us.
