One of the biggest issues folks want to talk about, especially in personal readings with my spirit guides, is relationships—particularly romantic relationships. As we all know, even the closest, most loving relationships have their challenges, their ups and downs.

Here is a perspective on romantic relationships from one of my spirit guides:

Remember what you felt at the outset: the passion, the pleasure, the sheer joy of being in each other’s physical presence.… Read more

Do You Ever Take Inventory of Your Life? 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 | 4

The Greek philosopher Socrates said “The unexamined life is not worth living.”

That’s a pretty stark statement. But it makes sense to me. My spirit guides often advise folks, including me, to take regular inventory of our lives. The idea is to evaluate where we are in relation to our goals, aspirations, and dreams for ourselves and the path we are following.

In our view, it’s important for all of you to pause and take time out from your busy—and often stressful—lives.… Read more

Sure-Fire Keys To Happiness by John Cali

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, healing, health and well-being, inspiration, life purpose, manifesting, mind body soul, positive thinking, self-help, spirituality | 12

There are so many modern-world influences working against happiness. And yet, as divine beings in human form, happiness is our natural state.

I’m not saying we must be deliriously happy in every moment of our lives. But surely we can be a lot happier than most of us are. So why aren’t we?

Here are some of my spirit guides’ suggestions for finding and keeping more happiness in our lives:

Embrace uncertainty. You might as well, since you cannot escape it.

Do You Know How To Heal Yourself? by John Cali

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

As you can probably guess, healing is a subject that comes up often in my and my spirit guides’ conversations with folks.

I almost never get sick, but the past week or so I’ve had what I guess was a severe cold. I was pretty miserable most of that time, and I’m still recovering.

The experience got me to thinking about the many times my spirit guides have talked about healing—and how our bodies know how to heal themselves (if we stay out of their way).… Read more

Do You Have a Bad Back? By Barbara Clark

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, healing, health and well-being, inspiration, manifesting, mind body soul, positive thinking, self-help, spirituality | 32

Introduction By John Cali

How many people do you know with “bad” backs? If you’re like me, probably plenty. In fact, when I was younger I used to have nagging, persistent back pain.

In today’s post, Barbara Clark talks about her healing work—specifically, her experience in helping folks with back pain.

Here’s Barbara:

After my article, Are You Burying Your Head in the Sand?, was published many people asked how they could get themselves out of the way and allow their bodies to heal.… Read more

Another New Beginning 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, self-help, spirituality | 12

Here we are at the beginning of another new year. What’s so special about New Year’s Day? Well, probably not much.

My spirit guides, as many of you know, don’t generally predict the future. But they did say recently 2013 would be a much easier year for those on a conscious path of spiritual growth.

Here is exactly what they said (to my partner Barbara):
“For those of you who have been working diligently on yourselves, 2013 will be a year of peace and joy.”… Read more

Merry Christmas! Bah, Humbug! 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, spirituality | 31

One of my all-time favorite movies is “A Christmas Carol,” based on Charles Dickens’ novel of the same name.

As you probably recall, in the book and movie Scrooge showed his disgust for Christmas with the words “Bah, humbug!” He believed Christmas was just an excuse to spend money you didn’t have and to waste precious time in revelry and fun. Certainly a cynical view of what is for many is a joyful celebration, and a time for putting aside our differences and being just a bit kinder to our fellow humans—and to all creatures.… Read more

Is Peace on Earth An Impossible Dream? Followup John Cali

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, healing, John Cali, life and death, manifesting, mind body soul, self-help, spirituality | 21

We received a variety of insightful comments in response to our newsletter article earlier this week, Is Peace on Earth an Impossible Dream?

So, as a followup, I’d like to share with you a few additional thoughts. (This post is longer than our usual short ones, which I know you and I prefer. But I think the subject merits it today.)

First, here’s a brief message I received from my spirit guides:

“There will never be the peace on earth many of you envision.… Read more

Is Peace on Earth An Impossible Dream? John Cali

by John Cali | posted in: Articles, Blog, healing, inspiration, John Cali, life and death, manifesting, mind body soul, positive thinking, relationships, spirituality | 27

Our thoughts turn to peace on earth every year at this holiday season. That’s particularly appropriate this year, as we’re preoccupied not only with conflicts around the world, but also with the all-too-frequent and vicious violence in the United States.

As you all know, 27 adults and children died in a bloodbath at a school in Connecticut last week. Then the gunman killed himself, bringing the death toll to 28.

Here are a few of Spirit’s thoughts about all this:

You have somehow been convinced there is not enough room for all of you on your planet.

Are You Giving Away Your Power? John Cali

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

I recently ran into a couple of old, dear friends, one in the grocery store and the other at my barber shop. Although I have no political preferences or convictions, my two friends certainly do—particularly regarding the United States’ recent presidential election.

It was obvious neither of them supported President Barack Obama.

My first friend said the US was going to hell in a handbasket, now that President Obama had been reelected. He said, in all seriousness, he didn’t know if he wanted to go on living.… Read more

What Is God? 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, self-help, spirituality | 18

Have you ever asked yourself that question? I have, many times.

I grew up in the Roman Catholic tradition. We were taught God was a loving father, and also a harsh judge. We had this confusing notion of a divine being whose love or wrath would engulf us, depending on whether we did his “will” or not.

Heaven was our reward and hell our punishment—not a pleasant way to live your life, never knowing where you were ultimately going to end up for all eternity.… Read more

Can You Accept Your Life Exactly As It Is Right Now? by John Cali

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, healing, health and well-being, inspiration, John Cali, life and death, life purpose, manifesting, mind body soul, positive thinking, relationships, self-help, spirituality | 14

Many years ago I had a dear friend who was about the unhappiest person I’ve ever known. Charlie (not his real name) was a successful businessman. But his personal and family relationships were rocky.

Charlie’s problem, simply stated, was people. He just could not accept most people as they were. He was an expert at finding something wrong with them. And, of course, he found little about himself to like, despite his worldly success.

His life was often a living hell.… Read more

The Power of Gratitude by John Cali

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, healing, health and well-being, inspiration, John Cali, law of attraction, life purpose, manifesting, mind body soul, positive thinking, relationships, self-help, spirituality | 11

Today is Thanksgiving Day in the United States. It happens the fourth Thursday of every November, and is a national celebration of gratitude for all our blessings. Other countries also have national days of thanksgiving.

As a human race we have a tendency to focus on all the things going “wrong” with our world. But, as my spirit guides often say, there is much more going “right” with our world than not. We have much to be grateful for, whether we’re celebrating Thanksgiving Day in the US or not.… Read more

What Are Coincidences? by John Cali

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

A couple nights ago I had an unusual dream. In the dream I was visiting my hometown in New York State. I don’t remember the details, but I do remember the feeling and the energy of the dream. It was one of the most peaceful dreams I’ve ever had.

The next morning when I checked my email there was a letter from someone I grew up with in my hometown. He and I are about the same age, and our families were good friends when we were kids.… Read more

What Is Your Relationship with Animals? Part 2 by John Cali

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, health and well-being, inspiration, John Cali, manifesting, mind body soul, positive thinking, relationships, self-help, spirituality | 9

We received some interesting responses to our recent blog post, What Is Your Relationship with Animals?

Although everyone responding was polite and respectful, there were wide differences of opinion—particularly around the issues of animal cruelty, meat-eating versus vegetarianism, etc.

These same issues loom large here in Wyoming where I live. After all, agriculture, including cattle ranching, is the livelihood of many Wyoming folks. However, in my very unscientific observations, I’ve seen many people turning to vegetarianism, even here. So we have widely varying opinions and lifestyles.… Read more

Is It Really True That All Is As It Should Be? by John Cali

by John Cali | posted in: Articles, Blog, healing, health and well-being, inspiration, John Cali, life and death, life purpose, manifesting, mind body soul, positive thinking, self-help, spirituality | 4

My spirit guides are fond of reminding folks, including me, all is as it should be. But is that really true?

The past couple weeks, the United States, especially the northeastern part, has been wracked with a series of devastating storms, including the monster Hurricane Sandy. Many people were killed, injured, and left homeless. It could take weeks or months for them to recover.

When we witness events like that, and all the other disturbing news we see nearly every day, I wonder how anyone, even the spirits, can say “All is as it should be.”… Read more

What Is Your Relationship with Animals? by John Cali

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, healing, health and well-being, inspiration, John Cali, life purpose, manifesting, mind body soul, relationships, self-help, spirituality | 30

I’ve loved animals all my life. When I was growing up in a rural area of New York State we were surrounded by animals—wild creatures, farm animals, household pets. Although we loved our pets, we saw wild and farm animals differently, more as resources to serve us. They were not part of the family, as pets were.

A friend, Barbara Clark from Scotland, visited me in Wyoming this past summer. She’s also an animal lover and a talented animal communicator.… Read more

Why Do Disasters Like Hurricane Sandy Happen? by John Cali

by John Cali | posted in: Articles, Blog, healing, health and well-being, inspiration, John Cali, law of attraction, life and death, manifesting, mind body soul, self-help, spirituality | 19

As you all know, Hurricane Sandy devastated many areas along the United States east coast last week. Among the hardest-hit were the metropolitan New York and New Jersey areas.

Many folks are still reeling from the shock and the aftermath of that storm. Damage has been estimated at $50 billion. Nearly a million New York and New Jersey homes and businesses had no electricity, and vehicle fuel is in short supply.

According to weather forecasters, tonight another storm, a so-called “nor’easter,” will descend on the United States’ mid-Atlantic and northeastern coastal areas, including New York and New Jersey.… Read more

You Are the Universe by John Cali

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, health and well-being, inspiration, John Cali, law of attraction, life and death, life purpose, manifesting, mind body soul, self-help, spirituality | 18

There’s an expression in Sanskrit, “Aham brahmasmi.” It means “I am the universe and the universe is me.”

My spirit guides have often said we are not our physical bodies. However, most of us identify the person we call “I” with our physical bodies. So if we are not our bodies, who are we? Where are we? What are we?

If the Sanskrit expression is right, and I believe it is, then whatever we perceive to be “out there” is really in here, within each of us.… Read more

How Can We Help Others Heal? by John Cali

by John Cali | posted in: Articles, Blog, healing, health and well-being, inspiration, John Cali, law of attraction, life and death, life purpose, manifesting, mind body soul, positive thinking, relationships, self-help, spirituality | 21

One of our readers recently asked us this question:

“When a group meditates and sends love/light/positive energy to a place or people or situation, can this help with healing?”

He also asked several related questions. These included:

The ideal size of the group.

Specific meditations or techniques.

Whether a small group could positively affect our entire society.

The number of repetitions needed.

And, in general, how to improve a group’s healing effectiveness.

Here are Spirit’s thoughts:

The best way you can help others heal is to heal yourself first.… Read more

Are You A Master? by John Cali

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, healing, health and well-being, inspiration, John Cali, law of attraction, life and death, life purpose, manifesting, mind body soul, positive thinking, relationships, self-help, spirituality | 3

One of our readers had some interesting comments in reply to our recent blog post, Is the World Driving You Crazy? I’d like to share them with you today, especially with those who may have missed them.

Hi John and Spirit,

I love the opening of A Tale of Two Cities, by Charles Dickens!

First Line: “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way–in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.”… Read more

Remembering Violence and Terror by John Cali

You may recall it was 10 years ago this month the Washington, DC area in the United States was terrorized for 23 days by mysterious, random sniper shootings. Before the police found the two killers, 3 people were wounded and 10 killed. All 13 were strangers to the killers.

At that time I was temporarily living in the Washington area. I clearly remember the energy of fear and terror, as the whole metropolitan area was brought to its knees. Schools were turned into fortresses.… Read more

What Are Parallel Realities? by John Cali

Many years ago when I first moved to Wyoming, I became good friends with Jim, my next-door neighbor. After a couple years I moved out of the neighborhood and we lost track of each other.

I ran into Jim again at a party about four years ago. We were having a friendly chat when I mentioned the time we were next-door neighbors. A blank look came over his face. He said he’d never lived in that house. In fact, he said, he didn’t even know me back then.… Read more

Is the World Driving You Crazy? Part 2 by John Cali

A few days ago we published a blog post called Is the World Driving You Crazy? We got quite a few comments on that post.

One comment in particular caught my attention. I always read them all—and I appreciate the time and energy all of you put into your comments. So thank you for that.

This comment was from our dear friend, Ian Barnfield. I realize not all of you may have seen Ian’s comment. So I wanted to share it with you today.… Read more

Is Suicide Ever Justified? by John Cali

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

In our last blog post, Is The World Driving You Crazy?, we talked about a family murder-suicide. I know this is a tough subject for many folks.

Objections to suicide, including assisted suicide, range across the spectrum—religious, legal, spiritual, practical, and so on. It’s a contentious subject with widely varying and conflicting opinions.

Years ago, in a message I found very comforting, Spirit spoke of suicide. Read it here.
