Being Present

I know how fast time seems to be flying by. There are many demands on our time, focus, and energy. It can feel like the river of life has swept us up and at times we feel powerless to fight it. But really, we do have a choice. We can choose to go at our own pace with certain things. To take the time we need to think something through, to make a decision, or even simply to respond to a request or a question. When someone asks us a question, in a way they are forcing or redirecting your focus. Your mind may be on something else when the question comes along and you have to mentally change gears to focus on and answer the question or request. But just because someone asks a question doesn’t mean we have to respond on the spot. It is okay to ask for time or simply to say that you will think about it and respond later. Another way that I see this is when people hug. I have quite a few people in my life who call themselves “huggers”. When meeting someone for the first time, the other person usually extends […]

Divine Assistance

Not too long ago, I was in a really low place. I had an intense cold and my physical, mental, and emotional energies were at an all time low. I was sitting on the couch when I began to notice some VERY dark and negative thoughts. Thoughts that were uncharacteristic of me. I felt hopeless, like I couldn’t go on any more. I felt like I wanted to leave this earthly plane. I simply felt drained and had no more to give this world. Something inside of me knew these were not my own thoughts. I got up off of the couch and stood in front of my kitchen sink. I felt limp. My head hung low, my chin against my chest. I couldn’t even hold my head up. I felt overwhelmed. I felt that I couldn’t fight whatever was going on. Without thinking, I simply said the word “help” out loud. I cannot begin to tell you quickly this all happened. Immediately I felt a huge beam of energy flowing from above my head, into my crown chakra, and flowing all the way down my body and out through my feet. It was lightning quick. My head snapped up […]

Leap of Faith

Matthew Muschott — Sun, 27 Aug 2017 14:29:23 +0000

For many years, I worked in the hospitality industry. I grew to love the work and especially many of the people I met along the way. Much of the work was repetitive which allowed me to be somewhat on “auto pilot”. This freed up part of my consciousness to delve deeper into and strengthen my intuitive abilities. At one point, I worked third shift. I was the only employee on the premises. One night, I was in my main work area which adjoined the front office of the hotel I was working in. I heard noises coming from the office which should not have been there. Suddenly the connecting door opened up and a man in a ski mask came charging in. I was washing dishes and my hands and forearms were wet with soapy water. I spun around and he forcefully grabbed me by the collar and shoved me to the ground. I remember falling and instinctively turned my head to the left so as not to hit my face directly on the concrete floor. The intruder immediately began using duct tape to bind my ankles together and my wrists behind my back. I was surprised to notice that […]

Starting Over

Matthew Muschott — Wed, 16 Aug 2017 18:32:59 +0000

I find myself in an interesting place. For many months, I had been making excellent progress with getting healthier. I was eating better, exercising every day, and just feeling better overall. It was exciting to notice some real physical changes. These changes were beginning to feel like a solid part of my daily life. It was easier to overcome temptation than it was to take the easy way out. It was a great place to be. But then I began to experience a lot of loss in a short period of time. A dear family member, my beloved cat, 3 spiritual friends, and a childhood friend all passed away within two weeks of each other. My whole world felt upside down. I was numb in different ways. I was astonished at how easily I slipped backwards into negative habits. But honestly, it felt like I was just trying to survive each day with the minimum amount of effort on my end. I really was overwhelmed. As healing happened and grieving lightened, I found myself still stuck in the negative habits, of feeling little to no motivation in getting back on track. I chose to be compassionate toward myself and just […]

Working with the Elements

It was posed to me many years ago that Nature greets us every time we step outside. When I heard this, I began to see what I noticed first upon stepping outside. Sometimes I would notice that the wind would pick up. Hmmm. Maybe I needed to work with the element of air which to me means working with the mental realm of thoughts and inspirations. Sometimes I would notice moisture whether it would be rain, snow, fog, etc. Hmmm. Maybe I needed to work with the element of water which to me means working with emotions, flexibility, and goin with the flow. Other times I would notice bright sunshine or heat. Hmmm. Maybe I needed to work with the element of fire which to me meant creative and / or destructive patterns, passion, and letting the past go. I am not saying that the above descriptions of what the elements meant to me is universal. It is just what my intuition tells me about my own self work. You might encounter these elements and have your own meaning or understanding of them. As always trust your gut. Ways to work with the elements : Meditate on them. Call them […]
