Calling all quality professional psychics!  Even on my very best day, there is no way that I can meet the need for readers, healers and other professional spiritualists on my site.  Five thousand people visited my site yesterday alone! 

When I first started Angel Messenger, it was with the goal of creating my own center.  With the downfall of our economy, it became impractical to rent a building and try this on my own.  So, with the help of my guides and angels, I kept working on creating a website that could offer as much help as possible.  The only problem now is that it has gotten too big, and it’s time to revisit my original goal.

Although it is still impractical to create a physical center for spiritual growth, I feel it’s an excellent idea to create such a space online in an environment that has already proven to be popular and useful to website visitors.  So, I am looking for quality psychics, healers and spiritual professionals who may be interested in offering their services at Angel Messenger.  I have not worked out all the details yet, so I am not even accepting applicants at this time.  This post is more to put some feelers out there to see what the feedback might be.

My plan is to hire a few individuals to help me meet the needs of visitors to my site.  Being that these are my clients and people that put their trust in me, the application process will not be easy.  I like the way that Psychic Access interviews and tests their psychics, and those wanting to work with Angel Messenger will go through a similar process.  Though I have many friends who offer these types of services, I cannot simply hire my friends.  That would interfere with the integrity of what I’m doing here.  Applicants will be interviewed by myself and tested by my clients. Applicants will also have to show a proven record of being a successful professional psychic, etc., with at least five years of experience.

The readings offered would work differently than what Psychic Access does.  I do not like per minute readings for several reasons.  For one, they tend to be more expensive for clients.  For practitioners, it can be time consuming waiting around to see if someone calls, and most prefer scheduled appointments.  What I am putting together will be scheduled appointments.  Practitioners can offer days and times they wish to offer appointments at Angel Messenger.  Clients will be able to schedule appointments up to three weeks in advance but no sooner than three days in advance.  That means practitioners can get on with their regular schedule, and no one will be required a set number of hours a week.  If you can only offer appointments on Angel Messenger every other Tuesday evening, I can work with that. 

If you know someone who may be interested in working with a reputable website, please forward this information on.  If you personally are interested, please stay tuned as more information will follow.  I am not accepting applications yet, but I will be soon.  If you have any suggestions for creating this project, please post in the comments section below.  (That way your comments won’t get lost in the never ending sea of my inbox!)

Angel Blessings,

Sheri

“Dear Rev. Sheri,
I recently purchased a 12 month online reading by a medium and have been told I have a malevolent occult shadow causing serious harm and havoc, and I would be unable to remove this force myself, and have been instructed to purchase a further very expensive 60 day reading to remove this force. Could I ask for your wisdom and guidance on this matter of what to do.
Kind regards.”  ~ Aquarius 60

 

Dear Aquarius 60,

I’ve been sick, so I haven’t been able to post much in my blog lately.  However, I saw your question and decided to write a quick post.  This medium you are talking to is likely bad news.  There are unfortunately many scam artists out there, especially online.  If you received nothing more than an electronic reading, it’s quite possible that you’re not even talking to a real medium.  There are companies out there that create these sites which have automated fake readings.  If you were to sign up for their “free” reading with two separate emails, you would get a canned type email response that is very similar to both.  These “free” emails or mini readings are designed to get you to pay more money for a longer fake reading using some sort of fear tactic.  My advice is to run the other way.  This “medium” is bad news.  The only dark shadow over you is what you are being victimized by with this person/company.  Using the smoke of white sage or incense in your home will lighten any negative energies you might feel.  There may be something going on with you personally that is attracting negative things into your life, but most likely that has more to do with something personal, or your outlook on life, than anything you cannot control.  We all have free will, and your free will is telling you that you’re being taken advantage of. 

Let go of whatever this person has told you and release it to the heavens.  Use some some sage and learn a bit about positive affirmations.  Using more positive energy in your life will create a magnet for more positive energy.

I know this was a quick response, but I hope it’s helpful to you.  Oh, and Happy Birthday! 

Blessings and Light,

Sheri

Unfortunately, I am not able to offer readings right now, and I’m not sure when I will be able to.  Although I feel terribly that I am not able to help others at this time, I am in no shape to be helping anyone right now.  I can barely speak a full sentence without going into a coughing fit.  Even if I could talk, I’m taking several different medications which make it nearly impossible to be a clear channel for a reading.  I’ve had tons of people emailing me and sending me messages on Facebook about wanting readings, but I have to take care of myself right now.

This illness has instigated tremendous spiritual growth for me, and I’ve come to realize that I haven’t been taking care of myself in the ways I should be for quite some time now.  I have dedicated myself to helping others at the expense of my own health and well being.  Every time I would start to feel better, my first thought was that I needed to get back to work.  People were counting on me, and I was letting them down.  Then, I would immediately get worse. 

I had a dream last week that I went to my dentist for a regular cleaning appointment and starting coughing up worms.  The coughing became so violent that I actually began to vomit the worms and tried reaching my own hand down my throat to pull them out.  The dentist was rubbing my back and telling me that I have to get it all out.  Ironically, my regular dental checkup is one of the many appointments and plans I’ve had to cancel due to this illness.  This dream is something I’ve taken a lot of time to ponder.

I am working on a way to offer more ways to help more people through the work I do on my site, but it is going to take some time to implement all the plans I have in my head.  Please understand that I do sincerely care, and I want to offer assistance where it is needed, but there are going to be some big changes ahead for myself and for my work. 

It has taken me some time to understand this is an important message from my Heavenly guides and angels.  I’m at a crossroads in my life right now.  What might have started with a sore throat has made me open my eyes to the next phase of my life. 

Much Love and Blessings to all my dear friends, clients and visitors,

Sheri

3. I’m On Sabbatical

It was a great party going into Urgent Care the first time on New Year’s Eve.  I was told I had a viral bronchitis, and they gave me some enormous pills to help reduce the swelling in my throat and ears and sent me home.  I told them I had an ear infection, but they disagreed with me.  So, on Monday, I was back in Urgent Care, white as a sheet (Seriously, I didn’t fully appreciate that saying until looking in the mirror that morning.).  The doctor I saw that day promptly gave me two shots.  She sent me home with antibiotics … guess it wasn’t viral after all.  ;(  Anyway, I’m getting over it, but I’m still weak, get out of breath quite easily and can’t hear very well.  

As I was beginning to get sick, I tried to keep up on emails and website updates, but my website was not cooperating.  As you may know from my earlier posts, we recently upgraded to a new hosting company and hosting service that will better accommodate the needs of this high traffic site.  That change over did not go smoothly at all. 

Once we had the site changed over, it seemed everything was going to be okay, but then the site started going down.  I wasn’t receiving my emails, the e-cards stopped working, and we had a mess on our hands with struggling to get the site back up.  I even wrote two posts in my blog trying to answer some of the common questions I had seen finally come through my email and to explain what was going on, but both posts were deleted from the server because the memory couldn’t hold onto them. 

Now, it seems like the site is good to go and will remain up and running.  I have a ton of emails to go through as well.  The e-cards are working, and I plan on adding new ones now that the holidays are over, but that will have to happen after I’m done responding to all my emails.  

I may opt to write another post answering some of the most common questions and then direct people to that post in an email, instead of writing the same thing over and over.  So, if you are waiting to hear back from me, please understand that I am not ignoring you.  I will write you back as soon as I can.  For right now, I’m exhausted and not feeling so great, but I am here. I just have bronchitis, a double ear infection, pink eye and some kind of flu.  I hope you all had a better new year than me. 

Angel Blessings,

Sheri

We hope to get my site transferred to a new company as soon as possible, but there will be interruptions in service while this change is in progress.  Please be patient with us during this time and know these changes are ultimately in the best interest of everyone. We will be able to add more things to my site in the future without worry of the traffic shutting it down, and that is great! 

Thanks for your patience and Angel Blessings,

It seems like you hear it all the time from nearly everyone you know – “I’m SO stressed out!”  Pressures abound in this world today.  Those pressures cause stress and anxiety, and often we are ill-equipped to deal with those stressors that trigger anxiety and other feelings that can make us sick. Literally, sick.

WHY ARE WE SO STRESSED OUT?

We’re living in very trying and difficult times and things don’t seem to be getting any easier. Sometimes life can seem terribly painful and unfair, yet somehow we manage to struggle on, day after day, hoping and praying that things will soon get better. But, day by day, the world is becoming a crazier and more uncertain place to live in, not to mention stressful. Nothing seems safe anymore.

Millions of people are in record levels of debt. Many are losing their jobs, their homes, their health and sometimes even their sanity. Worry, depression and anxiety seem to have become a way of life for way too many people.

We seem to have entered the Age of Anxiety.  In fact, in 2002, the cover of Time magazine proclaimed this loud and clear on one of their covers as the featured story in that issue. The constant stress and uncertainties of living in the 21st century have certainly taken their toll, and as a result many of us seem to live a life of constant fear and worry.

When the terrorist attacks happened on September 11, this constant stress and worry seemed to just be magnified. In fact, many people now years later reported they are still scared that something of that magnitude could happen again – perhaps closer to them.  Turn on the news or open up a newspaper and we are bombarded with disturbing images and stories. We begin to wonder if we are safe anywhere. In this, the information age, never before have we had so much access to so much data.

The economy is another stressor.  Our country is in debt and so are many Americans. Soaring gas prices, outrageous housing costs, even the cost of food has sent many Americans to work in jobs that are unsatisfying and tedious. They work these jobs because they need a paycheck. Today, it’s more important to bring home the bacon rather than work in a dream career.

Having more women in the workplace adds to the stress. So many women feel the need to be everything to everyone and that includes a paycheck earner, house keeper, mom, wife, daughter, and sibling. The only problem with that is some women just don’t make any time for themselves thus contributing to their stress levels being at an all-time high.

Even children can feel the pressure of stress and anxiety.  Teenagers who want to go to college find themselves pushing themselves during their studies to try and obtain scholarships so they can attend schools that have ever increasing tuition costs.  They find themselves having to hold down part-time jobs on top of all that to earn money for extras that their parents can no longer afford. Add peer pressure into the mix and you have a veritable pressure cooker!

Cell phones, internet, palm pilots, blackberries, i-pods – we are always on the go and always reachable. We don’t make time to relax and enjoy life any more. Why not? We certainly should!

We feel pressure to do these things because we think we HAVE to, not because we WANT to. All too often, it’s difficult for people to just say “No”. Not saying that one little word piles up un-needed expectations and obligations that make us feel anxious.

All of us will experience situations that may cause us to become stressed or feel anxious. The reasons are too many to note but can include, buying a property, having guests stay over (in-laws!), being bullied, exams, looking after children, managing finances, relationship issues, traveling etc.  Stress is a ‘normal’ function of everyday life. Only when it appears to take over our lives does it then become a problem.  Everyone will have different reasons why a situation causes them pressure.  As a rule it’s usually when we don’t feel in control of a situation, then we feel its grip tightening around us causing us to feel worried or ‘stressed’.

If stress is caused by us not feeling in control of a situation, the answer is to try and reverse this, and regain that control. The good news is: YOU CAN!  You have everything inside you that you need to overcome your stress and the accompanying anxiety. The problem is, often we don’t realize that we are in control because we feel so out of control at time. But the tools are there, you just have to use them.

This article is adapted from “Eliminating Stress and Anxiety” – a Free eBook from the desk of Angel Messenger.  This eBook will teach you how to recognize blocking behaviors that may be keeping your stress alive, deal with panic attacks, calm yourself using visualization and more stress busting techniques.  Check out our selection of Free eBooks!

“How do I ask for forgiveness to the person I have hurt, if the person does not want nothing to do with me?” ~ Charity

Dear Charity,

Asking forgiveness of someone who won’t even talk to you is difficult for sure, though not impossible.  You need to know about forgiveness on a soul level.  You can have a chat with the guardian angel of the person in question.  Pray, or use meditation, to connect with that person’s angels, guides or even their own soul.

The key to connecting with another soul is that you have to be sincere.  Your apology and need to connect with them must be heartfelt and true.  When you are in that heartfelt place of love and mutual respect, you can talk to your loved one either directly or through their angels and guides.  Ask for forgiveness, explain what happened, whatever you need to do.  Ask your guides and angels to help you.  Archangel Gabrielle is wonderful for helping with this kind of thing.

This method is actually something I’ve been teaching to parents for years on how to connect with their children when the child doesn’t want to listen.  It works great with young children who are grieving, teenagers who may be closed off to anything their parents have to say, angry spouses, etcetera, etcetera.

Understand that, just because you apologize, it does not necessarily mean the person will forgive you or that the person/relationship will go back to normal.  Just like a normal apology, they may understand your actions or even forgive, but they may still choose to avoid putting themselves back into a similar situation.  A soul level apology or connection, which can be done along side a normal every day human apology, will help that person to forgive you.

If you’ve ever done a cord cutting or cord releasing exercise, this works similar.  In cord releasing, sometimes the person you are disconnecting with can feel that disconnect, and they may try to reach out to you over the phone, email, whatever.  When you connect with a person in the way I’m describing, sometimes they physical feel it the same was as with cord releasing.  But, instead of feeling a disconnect, they feel a connection.  They might start thinking of you or even missing you, though they’ll not know why the sudden thoughts are occurring.

It’s the same kind of thing when a recently deceased loved one visits someone they’ve left behind.  The loved one may suddenly think of the person they lost because they are unknowingly feeling the energetic presence of the one they lost.  The two are connecting on a soul level.

When you are truly regretful, but the person you wish to connect with refuses to listen for whatever reason, working with their guides, angels, and even connecting with that person on a soul level can make quite a difference – or at least help to break up the icy brick wall between you.

I hope this answers your question, Charity.  I’m sure the idea of speaking to another on a soul level is something others can benefit from as well, so thank you very much for writing in.

Peace and Blessings,

Sheri

I’m always telling my husband that he puts way too much on his “to do” list.  He creates a list a mile long that he expects to complete in a two day weekend but he needs more like 4 days at least to do it all.  He does what he can, and the rest stays on the list for next time.

That’s really how life is, though.  Sometimes life prioritizes for us.  I love writing in my blog, and my goal is to write at least one post a week, but that doesn’t always happen.  I’d love to write three times a week because my blog seems to help more people than my readings do.  I can only talk to so many people one on one in a given month, but my blog reaches thousands of readers.  Okay, I can’t even think about that when I’m typing … it makes me nervous.

I don’t always get to do what I think I need to do, but does that mean I’m not doing what I’m meant to be doing?  It was a comment by a reader that helped me see that.  Pat wrote, “You are like Mary Poppins with that umbrella–when the wind shifts, you land exactly where you are needed.”  At the time I read her words, my thoughts were more that I felt like the wind was ripping me out of my space and smacking me up against a brick wall … like the tornado.    I wonder sometimes why my life over the last couple of years has seemed more chaotic than anything.  How can this be meant to be?  I’ve been given the task of helping others to open themselves up spiritually, but my own life gets a regular dose of crazy.

Pats words stayed with me as I sat in the hospital waiting rooms.  It wasn’t that I was being selfish saying that I didn’t want to be there for my mom-in-law; I don’t want anyone to get the wrong idea.  It was more that I didn’t want her to be sick in the first place.  Her family (my family) has been through so much.  I don’t even know where to begin … I’ve seen families fall apart over much less.  The love Mom and Dad have for each other after all these years and all the trials they’ve seen is something I can’t even explain right now.  They are incredible people, and I would do anything in my power to make things better for them.  Unfortunately, I’m no miracle worker.  I can’t heal Mom’s body, but I can help her in other ways, and so I do what I can. 

I am where I’m meant to be when I need to be.  That is truth.  Even when my family lost our house, and we were moving, life was beyond crazy, and I couldn’t offer any services, I was where I needed to be.  I felt terrible because I felt like I was letting people down, but I was where I was supposed to be … surviving in the midst of chaos, praying for a miracle. 

We all experience times like this in our lives, and I think I’ve finally come to terms with the fact that I just have to stop feeling bad about it.  I have to let go and know that I’ll be there to help who I need to when I need to.  I don’t always know best, even when I think I do.    What’s that saying?  “Life is what happens when you’re planning other things?”  Sometimes all we can do is lay out the bags of sand and hope it’s enough to hold back the flood waters. 

Thank you so, so much to everyone who’s been praying for my mom-in-law, Patti.  She’s still recovering from last week’s events.  Now that her spleen has been removed, the hope is that her blood counts will come back up enough that she can have a liver transplant.  Then we wait.  Even when you’re at the top of the list, you can be waiting for a quite some time.  It’s difficult because she’s already been sick for several years.  She’s never been a drinker, and she’s always been a healthy eater, but something else has attacked her liver.  Even someone so deserving isn’t guaranteed anything, so continued prayers are greatly appreciated.  She still has a mountain to climb. 

Thanks for reading.  Thanks for praying.

Love and Blessings,

Sheri

Okay, so I’m sort of back in the office now.  Last week was really crazy with being at the hospital every day and not knowing what to expect.  Being that I do what I do, hospitals are not very easy places for me to visit.  It was especially difficult to go into my mom-in-law’s room and see people and energies that I was not ready to see in there.  I knew they were there to give her strength, but they could have just as easily have been there to take her home.  They told me they would help her fight as long as she is willing – and as long as her body is able.

On Wednesday, we were basically told to expect the worst.  On Thursday, we went in to find that Mom was sort-of alert.  She asked me what was going on.  I tried to tell her what the doctors were hoping to do, but I wasn’t sure if she even understood who I was.  Then a priest came in, and, within about a half an hour later, Mom was alert and having some serious discussions with us and the doctors.  She hadn’t realized how serious her condition had become.  Knowing was unsettling to her, but she wanted to know all her options.  She told us that she wasn’t ready to leave and wanted to continue fighting.

I had been strong all week long … strong for my husband and strong for our 8 year old son.  But, when Mom took my hand and promised that she wasn’t going to die on my birthday, all my strength went out the window.  I burst into tears.  It was more than I could handle at that moment.  Going from such dire circumstances the day before to seeing her in right that moment was like seeing your loved one come back to life.  It’s difficult to explain.

Mom is being treated with an experimental drug that may or may not work, and we may not know if it’s going to work for several weeks – if her body can hold on that long (which we pray it does).  Though I will be working, it is possible my schedule will be disrupted, and sessions may have to be cancelled or rescheduled.  I don’t want to not offer services, so I am offering them with the understanding that appointments may have to be changed.

Just FYI, for those of you who are local to Williamston, Michigan, I am offering a meditation at my home office next Tuesday morning at 10am.  If you’re interested, there are a few spots left.  Just visit the scheduling page and click on workshops when the calendar comes up.

I hope to write more as the week goes on, but I’m just going with the flow as they say for now.

Peace and Blessings,

Sheri
