1. What is your book about?
Seven Cups of Consciousness presents seven principles that empower your life. Each principle, called a cup, addresses a particular energetic aspect of you. What makes my book different is that it teaches you how to use these energetic aspects to increase happiness, abundance, and love. By following the roadmap you will create the life you desire.
2. Why did you write it?
I wrote this book because of repeated requests from clients and subscribers. They were asking me to distill my teaching into a simple easy to read book. In the book I give step-by-step instructions on how to change your life. Try this…take a deep breath in. Imagine pulling yourself into an inner river of light. Feel a flow of love and support. This is place from which you work to change your life.
When you shift the energy inside you your outer world starts to change in remarkable ways.
3. How can we access more wisdom from our Angels and Higher Self?
Angels and your Higher Self exist in a higher dimension. You connect with your Higher Self by placing your awareness into your inner river of light. Above I explained how to access your inner river of light by taking a deep breath in. Do that now. When you are in your inner river ask the wiser energetic aspect of you to help you. Ask your Higher Self and Angels a question. Imagine this energetic aspect of you gathering the information on this higher floor. As you assimilate the information you will feel and know how to proceed. It is really that simple, the trick to knowing where to ask for help and how to get it.
4. How do we balance being a “spiritual being” with the never ending, boring, and unpleasant demands and responsibilities of being human? (How can you create a balanced integrative life?)
Living an integrative whole life is a choice and requires commitment, focus, and effort. It will take time to cultivate an integrated secular and spiritual life. Much of what we do is habitual and does not always support our intentions. Breaking unhealthy habits can be hard. Forming new habits can take time and require a level of commitment and discipline. Imagine every choice you make that affects your life style is in alignment with a balanced life. You will need to let go of habits and behaviors that do not support this intention and replace them with healthier habits. Like an evening walk instead of the evening news. Slow down, simplify, spend time in Nature, listen to uplifting music, and increase time for reflection. If you are willing to make certain choices and weed out what is not essential a balanced and integrated life will be the result. Be patient and persistent.
5. Do you think our angels ever gets annoyed when we ask them for help?
Your angels who act as guides will not normally be annoyed when you ask for help. They love a challenge and a purpose.
If you ever feel a level of impatience or frustration on their end, do the following. Invite them to model the energy they want for you in themselves. For example; you are feeling insecure. Ask your angels to hold self-confidence in themselves. Ask them to encircle you and create a positive field that positively-empathically impacts you. When you feel them holding this supportive energy you will shift and feel that same quality inside yourself.
Your angels are evolving too. Ask them to be patient, positive, and empowered as they guide you.
