Do you have a troubled relationship with someone? Is there someone you love who is far, far away, and you want to reestablish contact? Dr. Peebles taught me long ago that if you close your eyes and project pink light from your heart towards your beloved friend or family member, you can actually inspire them to call you or contact you.

You can also do this if someone you love is in need of healing energy. It really works.

I was estranged from my brother for many years, and neither my parents or I had heard from him in months. I missed him so much. Within minutes of doing this exercise and projecting pink light towards him, he called my mother. For me, at least, it has worked every time.

Many years ago as I was experimenting with my abilities as a Trance Medium, I spent a considerable amount of time channeling the famous Mormon leader, Brigham Young.  I knew nothing about Brigham Young. My then-husband delighted in asking to speak to spirits that he knew I knew nothing about. It was his way of testing my abilities. He and Brigham talked on all kinds of subjects. Brigham was particularly interested in discussing how to run an efficient household. This made sense since he had multiple wives and an abundance of children living in his home "The Beehive" in Salt Lake City, Utah.

One day Brigham made a suggestion to us that we decided to try. He told us that we wouldn't spend so much time washing dishes if we would do the following: fill the sink with water and a quart of apple cider vinegar OR goat's milk. That's right! Goat's milk! Throughout the day, simply submerge your dishes in the water. At the end of the day the dishes rinse practically clean without any scrubbing! We tried it with apple cider vinegar, and it really works! The problem is, the house smells like vinegar all day.

But, goat's milk? That really sounded strange to us. However, when we looked up goat's milk and its properties, one of the properties is that it is very acidic, much like apple cider vinegar. We surmised that the acidity must work at cleansing the dishes while they sit all day in the sink.

A fun and easy way to do the dishes, but frankly, I still opt for the dishwasher and Cascade.

"Respect and honor your dreams. There is quite a variety, and some of these are just a grand purging of situations from the past, anger from the day, exhaustion, or what have you.

"There are a lot of extra thoughts, for example, when you are working hard and thinking about ten thousand things at one time, and you can’t finish everything in one day. You go to sleep at night and have a restless night and strange dreams, and that’s really one way to purge yourself of all the excesses; really releasing a lot of toxic energy that you have built up inside of yourself.

"If you do want to avoid this in your life, you don’t want to go through that experience because it’s not very comfortable, you just sit at the side of your bed at the end of a particularly exhausting day and release the energy from the center of your palms down to the floor, and simply allow for it to drain out of you, i.e. the static electricity that builds up in your body. This static can cause restlessness, panic, fear, paranoia, and it can cause certain cancers. So, you get rid of it instead of holding on to it, and you’ll feel much better in the morning."

"Often times, my dear friends, you get frustrated with your life. 'I asked for this from God and it’s not happening! What’s wrong here? Did I not ask enough?'

"So, you ask again; perhaps a hundred thousand times, over and over, the same prayer every night. And God is saying to you: 'I heard you the first time. Excuse Me, but I’m working here to get things done so that it can happen in your life. Can you please be patient here?'

"And so, you send your messages out to the Universe once and say: 'All right. I’m satisfied with the way I said it. I’m clear. I know what I have in my heart.' And you wait, and you will receive, beyond your wildest dreams and imaginations, your answers. Sometimes in the form that you asked for them, and sometimes, my dear friends, your prayers will go unanswered for a reason as well.

"In this case, it’s just taking a little time that’s all. You’re not ready yet to make the journey. You’re being expanded; you’re being initiated. So, enjoy the initiation"

"Sometimes it’s all right to rest and be dormant and not do any work upon yourself. But, when you are exhausted after a great demonstration of yourself in the world, and you come out and you say, 'Goodness Gracious! I have nothing left.'

"Well, it’s true! You need to fill up your cup so it can then again runneth over the next day.

"So, sit in a chair, close your eyes, breathe deeply into your spine, and feel outside of your physicality. Your aura is so expansive and at the end of a day when you have shared yourself with the world you need to bring your aura field a bit closer to the body. Bring your energy back in.

"When you are reaching out to the world, when you are expressing yourself with love, your aura grows and grows and grows. But then you need to come home after you go to work so bring it [your aura] back into the body and simply, as you take in a nice deep breath, imagine your aura being like a giant balloon around you, and it’s slowly deflating, but the air that’s in the balloon is going into your spirit and you get all full up again so tomorrow you can pump yourself up and out into the world connecting with life in extraordinary ways"

(A Lesson In Patience)

"Wash your dishes by hand, it’s lovely. Put your hands in nice hot water.
You want to make it go faster?

Fill a basin with hot water and ¼ cup of apple cider vinegar, and let it sit there all day long. Into this you put your dishes, and at the end of the day you rinse them off. You don’t even have to scrub them you see?

Patience, my dear friend, and it is much better for your beautiful Mother Earth, yah?"

Here's an exercise you can do to prove to yourself that you are already a wonderful receiver of information from the universe. We are given 5+ senses that we, as humans, tend to think are limited. My father always told me that we can see farther than we think we can, hear more than we realize, and feel life far beyond the surface of our skin. To prove it, you need a friend to help. (This is a little exercise I learned from my mentor Thomas Jacobson--read To Dance With Angels by Don & Linda Pendleton to learn more about this wonderful man and for some fabulous channeled material from Dr. Peebles.) Ask a friend to write down a question on ANY topic. It can be health, or "what color should I paint my house?," or about universal truths. It doesn't matter. There are no mundane questions. Have them write it on plain white paper, then fold the paper in thirds and put it in a plain white envelope. Seal the envelope tight. (If you can get a group of friends together to do this, it's really fun!

Once the envelopes are sealed, put them on the floor and mix them up...then have everyone pick an envelope from the pile.) Now, get a pen, take the envelope and hold it between your palms. Close your eyes and open yourself up...ALL OF YOUR SENSES...to receiving the ANSWER to the question inside of the envelope. Write down EVERYTHING that you feel, hear, touch, taste, smell, see and think. For example, you might hear a dog bark, feel your toe suddenly burning, taste something yucky, and see (in your imagination) blue sky coming through the clouds. You might hear the words to a song "It's gettin' better all the time..." running through your head.

Write EVERYTHING down. Don't try to make sense of any of it. The connections will come later. Once you are complete with the process (you will feel that the information will not be as strong) hand the envelope to your friend and let them open it and read the question to you. Together you will make the connections. For instance, the question might be, "Why did my dog bite me so hard on the toe yesterday?" And then you'll leap with joy! "I heard a dog bark! My toe was burning! But what about this bad taste in my mouth?" And your friend might say, "Well, I was complaining about a relationship that had left a bad taste in my mouth...and suddenly my dog bit my toe." Then you can go wild from here, since there must be blue skies on the horizon for your friend, with life gettin' better all the time. See how it works? You'll have lots of fun with this, and the more you do it, the better you'll get at it.

Light a candle at your bedside.* Sit still and look at the flame. Speak these words aloud: "Spirit, I would like to remember my contact with you tonight in my dreams."

Feel it in your heart. Promise it in your soul. Then blow out the candle.

Night, night.

Pleasant dreams... 

*It's not the candle that has the power. It is just a point of focus as you set your intention.

My dear friends, every time that you are, if you will, under attack by the world, and you start thinking hateful thoughts towards each other, you are hurting yourself. It is a challenge for you. Yes, we understand it's not easy being in the body; it is not easy being upon this school called Planet Earth. But, my dear friends, you are here, you are alive, you are a conduit of change, and it starts within yourself. How often do you awaken in the morning and realize that you are alive? Do you really think about it? Every breath that you take: are you aware what a gift that is, in and of itself? Do you realize that if you can hear my voice you have a tremendous gift? You have ears to hear! If you can see the body of the channel here, you have a tremendous gift of sight. And it is your choice as to how to use these gifts, these remarkable, if you will, gifts from God in your life, in your world. It is up to you! You are the conduit of change, starting with yourself. So when you awaken in the morning do you awaken and say, "Oh how nice, I just took a breath! I'm in the body! How fabulous to be alive! I'm so excited to start my day and see what God has for me?" Or do you, my dear friends say, "Oh dear, I woke up. Oh no, another day?" If you say the latter, you are setting the stage for a day of misery, and it's not anybody's fault but your own, because it is through your choices and your perceptions that you create your own reality.
 
Letting God handle it, means looking inside of yourself and understanding the God that you are. God exists within you. God's love is there and ever present and you find countless ways to push it away, to hold it at arm's length, to not acknowledge it, to not experience it in your life. My dear friends, whether or not you are, if you will, ironing a shirt, whether or not you suddenly received a winning lottery ticket, to us it is all the same. Every experience that you have has the identical promise of God's love within it, and it is up to each one of you to acknowledge that. If you are sad, my dear friends, nobody did it to you; it is your choice. If somebody does something that hurts you, somebody has stolen your property, somebody has, if you will, wielded a weapon against you, it does not mean that you have to be willing to yet succumb to the pain, to the sadness, to the hatred. It is not necessary; you have choices. Is it difficult? Yes! And, many of the challenges upon your earth are remarkable challenges! And, there are remarkable people who are up for the challenges. There are remarkable people who can find ways in which to turn their sights and attention to God in the darkest of moments, and still feel that light of hope, that ray of understanding, that awareness that God's love never, never disappears.
 
Letting God handle it, means that you're going straight to the source. You are going straight to love. God is not creating the adversarial situations in your life. You're doing that through your own free will, human being to human being. Each and every one of you is in charge. Each of you are a steward of God's love.
