Where Is Your Home? by John Cali

When I was much younger the only place I considered home was the little farm town on the shores of Lake Erie where I grew up. When I was away from there I was always homesick.

Way back when I started this work with my spirit guides I began to get a different sense of what home really is—not just for myself, but for all of us.

Here’s Spirit.

Spirit

You miss so much joy and peace by always looking for your happiness, your “home” in every place except where you are right now.… Read more

Relationships – The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly by John Cali

One of the most challenging and yet rewarding parts of our human lives is relationships. None of us need reminders of that—it’s all too obvious.

But what is the true purpose of relationships? In my opinion, relationships are marvelous opportunities to express who we truly are—they are always, with no exceptions, great vehicles for personal and spiritual growth.

Here are some of Spirit’s thoughts:

All relationships have at least two different perspectives because you are all unique.

One key to successful relationships is allowing the differences without being threatened by them.

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. That is often why you see, or feel, or hear what you might call “ghosts.”… Read more

Messages from Your Spirit Guides by John Cali

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, health and well-being, inspiration, John Cali, mind body soul, self-help, spirituality | 7

How can we communicate with our spirit guides? That’s a question we get asked often. It’s also the focus of a new mobile application we’ve just finished, Messages from Spirit.

Many of you have our previous application, Spirit Oracle Cards, which came out last year. It’s been very popular and we’re pleased with its success.

I think you’ll also love our new application. It contains hundreds of messages given to us by my spirit guides over the years.… Read more

What’s Wrong with Me? by John Cali

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

An old friend (she’s not old, but we’ve been friends many years) wrote me an email recently. With her permission, here it is:

Hi John,

It’s been a while, I know, hope this email finds you well. Am still enjoying your newsletters and blogs muchly…

There is something I’ve pondered for a while now regarding Law Of Attraction, whenever you have the time I would really appreciate your insight. Feeling major failure here….been on this path for quite a few years and still not manifesting my “deepest desires”….… 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

What Exactly Do Spirit Guides Do? by John Cali

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

Image Credits

After giving private readings for many years, I’ve come to realize many folks don’t understand exactly what spirit guides do. Before I started channelling I did not understand either.

One common misconception is our guides will tell us what to do, what we should or should not do, etc. Remember, they are spirit guides, not spirit instructors.

Spirit guides will not make our decisions for us, accurately predict our future, or in any other way take away our power.… 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

Image Credit

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

Does It Matter What Other People Say or Think About You? by John Cali

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, health and well-being, inspiration, John Cali, positive thinking, relationships, self-help, spirituality | 16

On the internet I occasionally see harshly critical opinions of me and my work with Spirit. I still sometimes get hate mail.

Years ago that sort of thing bothered me—a lot. Today I’ve learned it doesn’t matter what people say or think about me. That’s a very freeing feeling.

All that matters, for all of us, is that we follow the path that is right and good for us.

When you do that—another lesson I’ve learned over the years—you will touch more lives, and more powerfully, than if you took the path of caution, dreading what someone may say or think of you.… Read more

How Can Anyone Be Happy In This Confusing, Chaotic World? by John Cali

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, health and well-being, inspiration, John Cali, mind body soul, positive thinking, self-help, spirituality | 4

Many of us measure happiness by external criteria—how much money we have, what kind of house we live in, how many friends we have, etc. But those things can, and will, change. Then we’re unhappy.

The money, the house, the friends—those are the “reasons” we use to be happy. But they are never the cause of our happiness. So what is the real cause of happiness?

US President Abraham Lincoln said “A man is about as happy as he makes up his mind to be.”… Read more

The Fear of Death: Sequel 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, mind body soul, self-help, spirituality | 13

We had some great responses to our last newsletter article, The Fear of Death.

One comment Spirit made in that article is a tough one for many folks to accept. Here’s what they said:

“Death does not exist. Let go of the fear of death, and then you will soar.”

At least several people were upset by what Spirit and I said in that article. Here are one person’s comments (unedited):

Just simply let go. Ah geez is that all I have to do?… Read more

The Fear of Death by John Cali

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, healing, health and well-being, inspiration, John Cali, life and death, life purpose, mind body soul, self-help, spirituality | 24

Last week one of our family died at a relatively young age. She’d been suffering from a serious illness since she was in her 40s.

I know, as my spirit guides often say, we all die at the time and in the manner we choose. Yet when someone close dies, it’s still an adjustment for us—often a difficult one.

Adding to the difficulty is the almost universal fear of death.

Here are a few thoughts from Spirit.… 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

It’s All Within You by John Cali

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, inspiration, John Cali, manifesting, mind body soul, positive thinking, self-help, spirituality | 20

Recently I was facing a difficult challenge, not knowing how to resolve it. It was nothing earth-shaking or life-threatening, but vexing nonetheless.

After thinking about it a few days it dawned on me I was looking for the solution in all the wrong places.

Here’s Spirit:

There’s a Sanskrit mantra John loves: “Aham Brahmasmi.”

The English translation of the mantra goes something like this: The center of my being is the ultimate reality—the source of all that is.

Think about that for a moment.… Read more

What Is Life All About? by John Cali

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

I’m away from home all this week—so we’re doing an abbreviated newsletter.

The question I’ve used as our title is one of those “eternal” questions. Questions you’ve probably asked yourself many times, as I certainly have.

In the video below we hear some pretty good answers to those eternal questions—and from a source that might surprise you. Enjoy!

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

What are the eternal questions you’ve asked yourself? How do you navigate through life when nothing is certain or predictable?… Read more

Are You Taking On Other People’s Stuff? by John Cali

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, health and well-being, inspiration, John Cali, mind body soul, positive thinking, relationships, self-help, spirituality | 20

Lately many of my lessons (or reminders) are coming from my dreams, particularly the vivid ones. Last night I had yet another vivid dream.

In the dream there was a large gathering at my house, including friends and family from my past and present. They were noisy and argumentative, talking almost nonstop about all their complaints and problems. It was utter chaos.

I was not involved in any of the conversations—I was just a passive observer. But I was feeling all the negative energy and turmoil.… Read more

You Never Lose Those You Love by John Cali

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

I’ve taken that title from words my spirit guides have been using for years—usually when they’re talking to someone about the death of a loved one.

Here are some of their thoughts.

Spirit

Death is not the end of you. It is only a new beginning.

Death is not the end of love. It is the beginning of renewed love.

Death is not serious. Life is not serious.

Life, whether you are “dead” or “alive,” is supposed to be fun.

Dying is the easiest thing you will ever do, as you’ve had lots of practice through countless lifetimes.

How to Know When To Get the Hell Out of There by John Cali

by John Cali | posted in: Articles, Blog, healing, health and well-being, inspiration, John Cali, law of attraction, mind body soul, relationships, self-help, spirituality | 22

Last week I had a long, vivid dream. When I finally awakened from it I was drenched in sweat, and feeling emotionally drained.

The details are not important, but in the dream I was in a dangerous situation where I felt vulnerable and threatened—and stuck.

Then it dawned on me I was not stuck there—I was free to end the dream. So I decided to just get the hell out of there. I woke up immediately.

I knew such an emotionally charged dream must carry an important message for me.… Read more

The Magical Critters of Wyoming by John Cali, Barbara Clark, and Spirit

by John Cali | posted in: Articles, Blog, healing, health and well-being, inspiration, John Cali, mind body soul, relationships, self-help, spirituality | 35

Wyoming Deer

Today Barbara Clark and one of my spirit guides talk about her experiences with the wild creatures of Wyoming.

If you’ve been with us a while, you know my spirit guides are fond of talking about animals—particularly about what great teachers and healers they are for us humans.

Barbara was here in Wyoming in summer 2012. In this video discussion, recorded after she returned to Scotland, she talks to my guide to get his perspective on the magical critters of Wyoming.… Read more

Are You Spinning Out of Control? 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 | 3

Many years ago I had a dear friend, now long gone, whose life was a near-constant struggle. He struggled with virtually everything and everyone, including himself. He once described his life to me, shortly before his untimely death, as “reeling from one crisis to another.” That was a pretty accurate description.

It’s not surprising that he lived out most his years that way, because he was one of these people who just had to be in control of everything and everyone.… Read more

Do You Struggle With Self-Love? by John Cali

by John Cali | posted in: Articles, Blog, healing, health and well-being, inspiration, John Cali, life purpose, manifesting, mind body soul, positive thinking, relationships, self-help, spirituality | 22

Recently someone close to me was doing her best to convince me it was impossible for her to love herself as much as she loved others.

And even if she wanted to do that, it would be morally wrong. Her spiritual beliefs had convinced her of that. In plain language, it would be a sin for her to ever put herself before others.

Unfortunately, this lady is not alone in her struggles.

This week we’re revisiting an article we wrote a while back.… Read more

Heal Your Relationship with Money by John Cali

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

One of the most common topics we talk about with folks in personal readings is money. How do I get it? How do I keep it? How do I get more of it?

In my experience of working with Spirit over the years, I’ve seen money as one of the most daunting challenges so many people face.

Barbara Clark has just released a powerful money program that is so simple and yet so effective. I think anyone wanting more money, or a healthier relationship with money, will love what Barbara is offering.… Read more

How Are Healing Miracles Possible? by John Cali

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

A good friend, Elsa Santos, emailed us to ask how healing miracles are possible. Elsa was responding to one of our posts, How Can We Help Others Heal?

Following are her questions. (We’ve abbreviated her email to keep this post reasonably short. We may address her other questions another time.)

Here’s Elsa’s email:

Dear John,

Thank you so much, first of all, for all the beautiful work you do with Spirit!

I´m both a healer and a translator, and I’ve had the honor and absolute privilege of translating and subtitling Tuning In in Portuguese.… Read more

How To Attract Your Soul Mate by John Cali

by John Cali | posted in: Blog, channeling, health and well-being, inspiration, John Cali, law of attraction, manifesting, mind body soul, relationships, self-help, spirituality | 8

One of the most common issues people bring to us in personal readings is romantic relationships—an appropriate subject for today, Valentine’s Day.

People usually ask us how to find a romantic relationship, and then how to handle it after they’ve got “the tiger by the tail.”

Here are some thoughts from Spirit:

If you wish to attract your perfect lover, you must first become your own perfect lover. The law of attraction says like attracts like. You have many ways of expressing that—the rich get richer, the better it gets the better it gets, birds of a feather flock together, etc.… Read more

What Is the Purpose of Animal Suffering and Death? by John Cali

by John Cali | posted in: Articles, Blog, healing, health and well-being, inspiration, John Cali, life and death, life purpose, mind body soul, relationships, self-help, spirituality | 22

We received quite a few comments on two of our recent articles, The Power of Animals and The Power of Animals, Part 2.

Pat, one of our readers, left the following comments and questions. With her permission I’m including them here:

John – first of all I wanted to say I just watched and enjoyed your participation in the May 2012 YouTube version of the documentary Spirit Channelers in America. The information is truly enlightening and sychronistic with my personal growth right now.… Read more
