“Owl Sign Appearing Over And Over … And Happening A Lot!”

Posted on December 9, 2015 by Ellen E. Norman

Question
“I was wondering if you could point me in the right direction to determine the meaning of the sign of an owl appearing over and over — and happening a lot! I read a little online that it could be a sign of death or a spiritual message. I haven’t seen any real owls, just pictures keep popping up on TV, books, ornaments, a toy eraser, kids homework, just to name a few.”
— Anonymous

Answer
“I usually tell people to google ‘animal totem owl’ or any other animal which keeps popping up. You’re right, it tends to be a sign from that animal totem or from a loved one who has passed away.

“Another suggestion is to sit in quiet contemplation or meditation. Ask Owl Spirit to join you and share her message. Be specific. Ask her for more signs. She will show general signs with general meanings, perhaps over the course of three or four days; this usually precipitates a bigger message, meaning or event — where you’ll have an ‘ah-hah’ type of moment. Meanwhile, you’ll notice several other signs and synchronicities which correspond.

“The Universe — your Soul, God, angels or whatever you feel comfortable calling that great Source — has many, many ways of communicating with us. Sounds like it’s got your number! Listen with your heart. You can never mistake the voice of Love.

“And have fun doing it!”

“All Things Lie In God’s Hands”

Posted on December 2, 2014 by Ellen E. Norman

“I, for one, know how you feel about all of this mystical stuff — some of it seems so unexplainable, or difficult to understand. The why; the how. Could we just try this? I would like to be understood, but perhaps in different terms. Meaning, I just see it this way. And that’s just how I do, difficult as it may be to accept. And that’s the why and the how of it. It’s me, and I decide — although other things certainly weigh in, as we’d discussed in the previous post. Condemnation occurs, then, when we try to over-explain — to find all the self-gratifying answers to the why and the how. Try to love and honor yourself — and me — enough to, perhaps, accept that all things, no matter how large or how small, lie in God’s hands. Rest assured, I am taking good care of you.”

Love, Mother/Father God

“Why Things Happen The Way They Do”

Posted on December 2, 2014 by Ellen E. Norman

“I love you dearly. As much as my heart can hold, that’s how much I love you. That okay with you? I do not wish harm upon you. I do, however, have the ability to see it coming your way. Not saying I don’t have a say in things. Just saying I don’t intentionally harm people. Or their things. Or their pets. Or the people who they love. I do not harm others. Sometimes, however, circumstances prevail, and harm comes about. This may sound somewhat misleading — but in terms of cause and effect — I do have a say in how situations turn out. I could alter either the cause or the effect. Sometimes I do, and sometimes I don’t. Up to — all of us, actually. See, we all have a say in how things will turn out. Some things are predestined. Or preordained. Meaning, I’ve hatched a plan with somebody’s soul prior to incarnation, and I go through with the plan, thereby honoring the person’s preset intentions. Other times, I improvise along the way, making ‘adjustments’ as needed. And, finally, other times, well you know — life happens. Things shift. And I simply allow life to happen. That’s the general formula for why things happen the way they do. Not too different from what you had determined on your own, eh?”

With love and a wink, Mother/Father God

Beginning A Meditation Practice

Posted on November 15, 2014 by Ellen E. Norman

Meditation is a way for your soul to connect with God and the universe. Each of us needs this connection in order to feel nourished, complete and fulfilled.

When I first began channeling, Archangel Gabriel encouraged me to begin a meditation practice. I’ll be honest: The idea sounded ridiculous to me. I was a stay-at-home mom of three children, with one in school and two at home. I didn’t know where to start.

Archangel Gabriel suggested I sit on a comfortable chair, cross my legs, and put my hands — palms facing up — on my knees. He said this shows I am open to receive.

So, I tried it. At night, after my kids went to bed. And do you know what happened? I fell asleep. I’d go into meditation and fall asleep. Every time.

But the important thing was I tried.

I then asked my angels and guides to help me find other ways to meditate. Here’s what I realized. Meditation takes on many forms. I opened my mind in meditation when I took a walk outdoors; while I folded laundry; during my morning shower. I tried to clear my mind of scattered thoughts … and simply listen.

What did I hear? My voice. The voice of my soul. Intermingled with the voice of God and the angels. Encouragement. Ideas. Inspiration. Truths.

I also joined a Monday night meditation group at a local spiritual center. And that really got the ball rolling. Once I became more comfortable practicing within a group of likeminded individuals, it felt easier to try to meditate a little more at home.

The idea is to keep it simple, sister. Take baby steps. Begin with a meditation that lasts for five minutes; then, build up to 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 20 minutes or more. Take a few deep breaths, clear your mind of thoughts, and listen.

Eventually you will slip into deeper and deeper states of meditation. And enjoy the many benefits of meditation, like reduced stress, better sleep, improved health, a greater sense of well-being and — ultimately — peace. In addition, meditation is an important tool in developing your intuition.

The key is to continue practicing.

“Remember Who You Are — A Divine Child Of God”

Posted on October 15, 2014 by Ellen E. Norman

“Remember who you are, please. You are a divine child of God; made in his reflection. A mirror image. Nothing less than that. Reflect back! Shine in your beingness. It is true to your nature. Behold who you are, little one — what you’ve come here to do, and what we set forth in doing together. It is so.”

— Archangel Gabriel
