The Scent of Roses by John Cali

One of the most common questions we get in personal readings is “How can I contact my spirit guides?”

The short answer to that is “You don’t have to contact them—they will contact you.”

That sounds like a contradiction since so many people want to contact their guides, but are not succeeding. The reason they are not succeeding is they are not paying attention when the guides actually do contact them—and so they miss an opportunity to connect.… Read more

This week’s article is adapted from a talk my spirit guides and I gave last week at Awakening Zone Radio.

********************************************

Peace be with you!

We are delighted to be here tonight in this particular connection. We trust our words will resonate with you—and perhaps give you a greater sense, and a deeper sense, of who you really are.

Often the folks we talk with give “lip service” to the idea they are God, they are divine energy.… Read more

The title of our post today comes courtesy of our dear friend Jeannie Horn in Canada. Last week she sent me this beautiful piece, Looking Through Love’s Eyes. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did—it will give you a new, more loving perspective of yourself.

Looking Through Love’s Eyes

Looking through Love’s Eyes we are getting to know our Inner Self, the Watcher who waits, who is so patient, so loving that It allows us free will to be who we need to be. … Read more

The Veil Between God and Humans by John Cali

by John Cali | posted in: Articles, Blog, inspiration, John Cali, life and death, life purpose, mind body soul, relationships, self-help, spirituality | 14

Divine Light by Andrew Kudrin

One of our readers recently asked me this question:

“In all the work that you do with Spirit, are you aware of a sense of the consciousness, itself, being the veil between God and man?”

Here’s my reply:

“My own personal experience is that consciousness itself is the link, the common ground between God and us. After all, we are God.

“The only difference between God and us, or between spirit guides and us, is that we have temporary human bodies.… Read more

What Is Forgiveness and Why Do You Need It? by John Cali

Auschwitz, Nazi Prison Camp

I have a childhood friend, Sue (not her real name) who hates her mother. And her mother’s been dead for years! But Sue has not let go of her hatred. It’s killing her—literally. Her health is a shambles.

I knew Sue’s mother very well. We were close friends, despite the difference in our ages. She was not the monster Sue remembers her as. But even if she had been, is it worth it to Sue to keep killing herself bit by bit?… Read more

Listen: How To Help Others Heal by John Cali

A few days ago I was chatting with an old friend. We have a good relationship, but she’s very talkative, and not always a good listener. That sometimes creates tension between us.

This particular day I decided to just listen to her, and keep my words to a minimum. She’s been having some daunting challenges in her work and personal life. She talked a long time, and I mostly listened.

After she was done, and we were about to say goodbye, she paused and looked me directly in the eye.… Read more

Is Your Mind Driving You Crazy? by John Cali

by John Cali | posted in: Articles, Blog, health and well-being, inspiration, John Cali, life purpose, mind body soul, relationships, self-help, spirituality | 10

Buddha once said “The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, nor to worry about the future, but to live the present moment wisely and earnestly.”

Until I started meditating many years ago, my mind really was driving me crazy. I can still get distracted, but I’ve found meditation to be a powerful tool for quieting my mind—and body too.

Our modern world holds many distractions. This is not necessarily a bad thing.… Read more

Always Follow Your Heart by John Cali

by John Cali | posted in: Articles, Blog, health and well-being, inspiration, John Cali, life purpose, manifesting, mind body soul, relationships, self-help, spirituality | 6

We are often urged to follow our hearts. But how many of us do it consistently?

In my own personal experience, and in talking with others about their experiences, I find two significant blocks to following our hearts.

First, we’re too easily swayed by the opinions of others.

Second, we do not trust ourselves and our own inner guidance.

Here are some thoughts from Spirit.

Many of you were taught, as little children, not to follow your hearts.… Read more

How Do You Learn To Love Yourself? by John Cali

by John Cali | posted in: Articles, Blog, health and well-being, inspiration, John Cali, life purpose, mind body soul, positive thinking, relationships, self-help, spirituality | 8

Image credits

One of the biggest issues plaguing many of the folks I work with is self-love—or, rather, the lack of it. Often this is rooted in past experiences of this lifetime, or even of past lives.

Compounding the problem is the fact our modern world does not always encourage or support the practice of self-love. In fact, in many ways it discourages love of self.

I personally struggled with this issue for many years when I was younger. And I know many of you have also.… Read more

Are We Making War or Making Peace? by John Cali

by John Cali | posted in: Articles, Blog, healing, health and well-being, inspiration, John Cali, manifesting, mind body soul, positive thinking, relationships, self-help, spirituality | 10

I realize that image is a strange one for a spiritual newsletter. The gun, a replica of an 1873 Colt Firearms revolver, was called The Peacemaker. Ironic name for something intended to kill and destroy.

We’re all aware of the devastating conflicts going on right now in the Middle East, plus other places around the globe. James Twyman, aptly called the Peace Troubadour, was on a peace mission this past week to Syria and Egypt.

James gathered together tens of thousands of people around the world to send their healing prayers of peace to all those individuals and countries being ravaged by war.… Read more

Are People Unkind to You Because of Your Spiritual Path? by John Cali

by John Cali | posted in: Articles, Blog, health and well-being, inspiration, John Cali, life purpose, manifesting, mind body soul, positive thinking, relationships, self-help, spirituality | 6

If you answered “Yes” to that question, you’re not alone.

Most of my Roman Catholic family have disapproved of my spiritual path ever since I started channelling years ago. I have a great relationship with many of them. But even the ones I’m closest to have told me they pray for me so I won’t go to hell. That amuses me, and I just tell them hell doesn’t exist.

When David Thomas filmed the movie Tuning In with 5 other channels and me, my family, except for my brother, could not have cared less.… Read more

Messages from the Dragonfly by John Cali

by John Cali | posted in: Articles, Blog, inspiration, John Cali, life purpose, manifesting, mind body soul, self-help, spirituality | 19

Since I’m once again away from home this week, our weekly newsletter article is short.

A couple nights ago I noticed a beautiful long-legged brown fly on one of the kitchen window sills. I moved to get a closer look, and realized he had only one wing. He wasn’t afraid of me, and just stood there. He looked like a miniature dragonfly—although dragonflies have four wings, and this little creature had only one.

Even with only one wing he obviously could still fly or he could not have been sitting on the window sill six feet off the ground.… Read more

Do You Have Confused Feelings About Animals? by John Cali

by John Cali | posted in: Articles, Blog, healing, health and well-being, inspiration, John Cali, life and death, mind body soul, relationships, self-help, spirituality | 16

As I looked at our website statistics this past weekend, I was a bit surprised to see among our most popular articles and posts are those about animals. In our latest blog post, He Was Just a Dog, we talked about the spiritual aspects of animals, domestic and wild.

Today we’re continuing that subject. This will be a shorter article than normal, as I’m away from home again (unexpectedly) for the next couple weeks.

Here are some of my spirit guides’ thoughts about our sometimes-confused feelings toward animals—especially when it comes to deciding to be a meat-eater or a vegetarian.… Read more

One Hell of a Deal by John Cali

by John Cali | posted in: Articles, Blog, health and well-being, inspiration, John Cali, life and death, life purpose, mind body soul, Products, self-help, spirituality | 10

Pope Francis

Our title today is taken from an article recently appearing in The Independent, an online British newspaper.

It seems Pope Francis has promised shorter sentences in purgatory for those Roman Catholics who commit minor sins (“venial” sins, as the church calls them). The shorter sentences are known as “indulgences.”

According to Catholic teaching, if people die without confessing their sins to a priest, they will go to either purgatory (for minor or “venial” sins) or hell (for major or “mortal” sins).… Read more

Do You Want To Be Healthy, Happy and Slim? by Barbara Clark

by John Cali | posted in: Articles, Blog, health and well-being, inspiration, law of attraction, manifesting, mind body soul, positive thinking, self-help, spirituality | 12

Where is your focus? Are your negative beliefs being activated? What is your vibration around being healthy, happy and slim?

Try this simple exercise, say aloud “I am healthy, happy and slim”. Pay close attention to how you feel when you say the words. How true do they feel? Do you feel a “stuckness”, resistance, tightness?

Now try, “Why am I so healthy, happy and slim?”. How does that feel? Is there a difference?

This exercise will help you feel where your vibration is in relation to health, happiness and having a slender body.… Read more

Do You Know How Wise and Powerful You Are? by John Cali

by John Cali | posted in: Articles, Blog, health and well-being, inspiration, John Cali, life purpose, manifesting, mind body soul, self-help, spirituality | 16

The Hand of God

In a recent private reading one of our clients said something that really struck me—she said she felt she was speaking to herself through my spirit guides.

I had to think about her words only a moment to realize what a profound insight she had. It’s one of the clearest ways I’ve ever heard of expressing what channeling is all about. When we talk to the spirit guides (either directly or through a channel) we access that part of ourselves that is, literally, God.… Read more

What Is Your Soul? by John Cali

by John Cali | posted in: Articles, Blog, inspiration, John Cali, life purpose, mind body soul, relationships, self-help, spirituality | 8

Image by Robin Hutton

One of our readers wrote us a couple days ago about last week’s newsletter article, How Do We Reconcile Reincarnation and Simultaneous Time?
Here’s what she wrote, which I’ve slightly edited:

I’ve often pondered on this concept. How does the non-linear time concept fit in with physical structures currently on Earth, i.e. the pyramids which were obviously created at a past time and endure now?

Perhaps (you could do) a blog on the soul—what it is, what it looks like, how big it is, what it does, what its relationship is to the incarnated personality and its relationship to Source energy.… Read more

How Do We Reconcile Reincarnation and Simultaneous Time? by John Cali

by John Cali | posted in: Articles, Blog, health and well-being, inspiration, John Cali, life and death, life purpose, mind body soul, self-help, spirituality | 21

Image by Paul McIlroy

Many spiritual teachers and spirit guides, including my own guides, talk about reincarnation—one lifetime after another, often spanning many centuries. They also talk about simultaneous time—where past, present, and future all exist in the present moment.

How do we reconcile these two seemingly contradictory concepts?

Spirit

Linear time does not exist in the realms of spirit—there is only eternal time.

Being fully in each moment will make you, as you say, “lose track of time.” Time as you know it literally expands (or contracts).… Read more

Nurture Yourself with a Spiritual Retreat by John Cali

by John Cali | posted in: Articles, Blog, health and well-being, inspiration, John Cali, life purpose, mind body soul, self-help, spirituality | 1

Church in Sicily

This past weekend, I was unexpectedly without internet access or my computer. So I had all this time on my hands with no work to do.

Every now and then my spirit guides urge me to take some time off from work to nurture myself—sort of a “spiritual retreat.” In other words, they say, turn off my computer and phone, don’t answer the doorbell, etc. Preferably get out of town and away from my usual work routine.

Last weekend I didn’t know what to do with myself.… Read more

How Effective Are the Protests Against Monsanto? by John Cali

by John Cali | posted in: Articles, Blog, health and well-being, inspiration, John Cali, law of attraction, manifesting, mind body soul, positive thinking, self-help, spirituality | 17

Mother Teresa

When asked if she’d participate in an anti-war rally, Mother Teresa said she would not. But, she said, she would participate in a peace rally.

One of our readers asked us if the protests against Monsanto are helping or hurting the efforts to remove genetically modified organisms from our food supply. Unless you’ve been meditating on a mountaintop the past few years, you know about this bitter controversy.

Here’s is the reader’s email:

Hi John,

I so enjoy reading your blog.… Read more

Where Do My Pets Go When They Die? by John Cali

by John Cali | posted in: Articles, Blog, health and well-being, inspiration, life and death, mind body soul, relationships, self-help, spirituality | 14

One of our clients asked us that question a while back. It’s a great question.

While I realize many people do not believe animals have souls or spirits, I know they do. My spirit guides have convinced me of that, beyond any shadow of doubt.

Spirit

Those who love you, whether they were human or animal in their physical form, never leave you. They often have a desire, beyond the grave, to help you and to continue loving you.… Read more

The Only Thing That Matters Is Love by John Cali

by John Cali | posted in: Articles, Blog, health and well-being, inspiration, John Cali, law of attraction, life purpose, manifesting, mind body soul, positive thinking, self-help, spirituality | 14

Here are a few of the most common questions we get in personal readings :

I want to work for myself, but how can I do it?

How can I find work I love to do?

How can I live my dreams?

How can I do what I love and still make money?

It’s obvious the old ways, the old energy no longer satisfy many folks wanting to grow spiritually—and wanting to find work that satisfies them and supports them financially.… Read more

You Can Grow Older Gracefully and Still Have Fun Along the Way by John Cali

by John Cali | posted in: Articles, Blog, health and well-being, inspiration, John Cali, life and death, mind body soul, positive thinking, self-help, spirituality | 11

We live in a society today obsessed with youth and physical beauty. And, in my opinion, a society with too little regard for the wisdom and experience of older folks.

Society considers growing older a curse none of us can escape—unless we die young. We’re driven desperately to find something—anything—that will keep us young. The list is virtually endless—plastic surgery, injections, drugs, etc.

It never occurs to most of us that growing older can actually be fun. It doesn’t have to be a drag.… Read more

How Do You Face Your Own Mortality? by John Cali

by John Cali | posted in: Articles, Blog, inspiration, life and death, life purpose, mind body soul, spirituality | 5

That’s a tough question for many of us.

Two weeks ago a member of our family died. Two days ago another one died.

The deaths got me to thinking about, well, life and death. None of us are going to get out of this life alive. At least not physically.

How do we face our own mortality? I’ve given lots of thought to that question the past two weeks.

Once again, I’m away from home for a while. So this newsletter will be brief.… Read more

Lessons From Bob the Barber

by John Cali | posted in: Articles, Blog, health and well-being, inspiration, life purpose, mind body soul, relationships, self-help, spirituality | 13

One of the most common things my spirit guides tell folks in personal readings is how wise and powerful they are. Some do not believe it—they take the attitude that the guides must say that to lots of people. Which they do.

But what these folks fail to see is that we are all wise and powerful. We are all special.

I understand where people are coming. After all, our modern world is not always supportive, and often discourages thinking highly of ourselves.… Read more
