So one night, a few weeks ago, after I got done at the office I was driving home.  I don't use cards or tools, I work with Spirit, energy, and so sometimes I'm physically and energetically drained because I work with use my body.  With this being said, most days I'm in the office I really don't feel like going home and cooking, honestly I love cooking, but after I work it's really hard for me to stand there and even harder to clean up the mess after. Sometimes dishes sit in the sink for days.  I have issues standing, but that's a different subject for another blog, lol anyway- I stopped to get gas in my black on black cool rental car. Which by the way is a boat and was very hard to parallel park!  
Reason for a rental: A few weeks earlier I had gone to the store and after I shopped I went to exit my parking spot as I go to back up I hear a scraping noise under my car. I didn't think anything of it. I got home unloaded my groceries and when I had to leave later as I went to get back into my car, I notice my whole bumper was hanging off! Completely dismantled, so I had to call the store and explain what happened. He said that he needed to watch the video and call me back. When he did he said they'd fix it, but they had to put a claim into their insurance company. 
Then I brought my car in and got a rental car, and well of course, I pick the nicest car on the lot.  A brand new black on black 2014 charger. Okay- back to my Angel story... I worked that day and was feeling wiped so while driving I decided to place a togo food order for dinner. I stopped for gas, but I couldn't figure out how to put gas in this car... DUH! Where's the gas door release button? It was nowhere to be found! I'm looking, looking.... but I can't find any button. I had to call my friend that has a fiancé with a Charger to find the magic button. 
(By now I just want to be done with this day because it's been kind of a discombobulating.) Lucky for me she answered, thank you Angels. I'm able to pump my gas, but when I was getting out of the car, my phone rang and I saw that it was the lady from the restaurant that I ordered the food from, so I answer. .. I let her know that I was pumping gas and I would be there momentarily, because I was right down the street. When I hung up I placed the black phone on top of the black on black car, and pumped my gas. 
Then I proceeded to get a receipt, the machine wasn't working, so I let the attendant know. Meanwhile, I get back into the car, completely forgetting the phone because it's a black phone on a black on black car! and I drive off, and of course I'm in a brand new charger so I gas it! Hello! Who wouldn't, right?! LOL
Then I hear this "CLUNK" "CLUNK" and I think "Oh s***! was that was my phone?!"  So I try to find my phone in the dark, while driving and trying to watch the road, which wasn't working so I pulled over...I can't find it ! I knew that noise was my phone darn it!  I quickly turn around and I go up and down the street multiple times. I don't see it anywhere! So I call my son in a complete panicked frenzy, from my work cell phone, thank God I have another cell phone! I tell him that I need to come and get him, because I left my phone on top of the car and now it's on the street somewhere. I am completely freaking out because it has all of my emails and numbers, and more so because a few weeks prior my blackberry just decided one night to delete two years of pictures and videos! Just on its own! Ta da just like that GONE! So at this point I'm having a post traumatic syndrome episode. 
(Which by the way I bought a new phone, I have had blackberries for the last 5 or 6 years and after it just deleted a huge chunk of my life, memories and what felt like part of my soul ripped out of me- I will never ever ever again buy a blackberry ever ever ever!!)
Okay soooooo I get him and we drive up and down in the area I heard the "clunk clunk" and my son says, "Mom I don't think it's on the street." I snapped, "Well where do you think it went?! It has to be, because I heard it right around this area." 
He says, "Maybe it's at the gas staton, plus if it did, there would be a thousand pieces on the street because it would have shattered if you were gassing it when it fell." 
Obviously I wanted to find my phone even if it's in a thousand pieces, so we drove up and down the street multiple times. I kept thinking, "Why Angels, why is this happening to me? Please help me find my phone Angels please!" 
If I found it, at least I could get the sim card and the memory card. Then my son says, "Mom, why don't you pull into the gas station where there is lights maybe it feel off there."
I was reluctant, and I snapped, "It feel off when I was on this street, I heard it!"
He says just pull in there real quick so we can check. So I did, reluctantly. I said I pumped gas right there. He gets out. As he proceeds towards the back of the vehicle, out of habit I glance in my rear view mirror and I see this little square that just so happened to be my blackberry! As my son also notices it at that exact moment! He grabs it, and now I'm saying thank you Angels! Thank you God! He hops back into the car and says, "Mom, that was your a Angels for sure! That was what I call our Angels at work, a miracle! Do you know how small that little lip was that held onto this phone?" I said, "Yes!" He says, "I can't believe that little lip held onto that phone!" I said, "Yep and thank you Angels!"
Both of us were just in complete shock! 
I thought this is another one of my Angel stories I need to share and blog about, so I got out and snapped a few pictures to attach.

My Angels always surprise me with their amazing powers and abilities to save, protect, guide, help and fix things!

Thank you, thank you, thank you God's Angels!

I always say, Angels are like neighbors. We know they're there but most times we don't acknowledge them or communicate with them. We know we have neighbors, but we just ignore them. Same thing with our Angels. 
We need to make a connection with them, and communicate with them. Acknowledge them.

It's real simple. YOU ASK, AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE! YOU DON'T ASK- YOU DON'T RECEIVE!

When in session, the Angels will tell me when someone needs to communicate with Angels and when they do I always tell my clients, it's real simple! 
And one of my Spirit Guides always share analogies to explain. So here is one. ..
You know there are neighbors next door and all around you. We can live in a house for three years and never meet or even greet your neighbor. Most often we just mind our own business and pretend we have tunnel vision when we see a neighbor waking to their car or watering their lawn. We just mind our own biz wax (aka business) lol and that's exactly what we do with our Angels and Spirit Guides. 
If you want to make contact with your Angels, and I was using the neighbor analogy, but please apply it to your Angels. Introduce yourself to your Angels. Say hi. 
We need to communicate with them! If it be your neighbors or your Angels, we need to acknowledge them and in this case we're using it in a context of our neighbors, but paying attention to the energy not the words. So back to my Angels. 
The first step is knowing we have them. Second we have to acknowledge them by doing that we learn about them, ask about them and imagine them. Then we can make contact with them, so that we can start to have a connection with them. Then communicate with them. Talk to them. Believe in them, trust them.  Depend on them by asking them for help. And then always thank them. This is the most important part- noticing their efforts and their amazing powers or gifts and thanking them. We need to thank them and praise them and talk about them. Share with them. Love them. We are born with our own personal Angels. Doreen Virtue talks a lot about Angels! She has a lot o of amazing Angel information in her books including her Angel numbers book, which I own. My Angels always show me 444, especially when I'm working on babies at the hospitals. And I see 333 a lot. I used to always see 222 a few years ago and I'd always wake up and the clock would show 222am. Those are my Angels talking to me.

Okay- back to the neighbor analogy... We know they are there... We want to acknowledge and want them to be a part of our lives, so the next time you are planning on having a garage sale aka communicating with your Angels, you can go over and ring their door bell and when they answer, because Angels always do...And the neighbors answer the door too lol
You say, "Hi I'm your neighbor, my name is...and I just wanted to say hi and let you know that we're having a garage sale on the third Saturday of next month. They say hi...bla bla bla and you conversate, then they say thank you for the invite and you go home and continue on with your day. But now you have made a connection. That's the hardest part acknowledging they are there and making that connection.  But the good news is once you do, it all comes naturally and flows all so naturally!

Then you make a point to talk to them.  In context of your neighbors, as your walking to your can and you see them, you can just wave to say hello, and in context of your Angels you can imagine them in front of you or in your mind's eye and you just simply say hello. That's acknowledging them, making contact with them, and being friendly and communicating with them.  Saying hello- which is growing a friendship with them. Same with your Angels, you talk to them and share your thoughts, desires, dreams and needs and wants with them. 
Another neighbors example is when you have that garage sale, once they bring their stuff out to sell you walk over say hi while browsing around to see what treasures they decided to part with. They offer you some lemon aid, you get to talking and you find out their daughter goes to the same dance studio and they offer to trade off certain days with you, saving you the trip. What a blessing! You made a connection and now they offered to help get your daughter to dance. You feel great about meeting, and getting to know your neighbors after living there for two years not so much as acknowledging them! They give your daughter a ride, you thank them. And the same goes with God's Angels. When they do something like my phone incident, I thank them! So always remember to say thank you!

Okay so a month later your getting ready to start your car one morning and the battery is dead. You're in a rush. You see Bob, your neighbor, that you made a connection with and you say, hey can you give me a jump? Asking for help. He gladly says yes, jumps your car, you thank him and you're on your way and feeling very blessed. 
What a great feeling that is to have made a connection, and asked and then to receive. 
Same goes with your Angels. 
You make a connection, communicate, ask and you shall receive. It's that simple!

I always call on 100,000 of God's Angels whenever I do a session. I have an amazing connection with my Angels. I love my Angels! They are amazingly awesome!

Thank you God for your Angels, they are amazing!

I am a very feeling person. So "feeling" that I suffer from Fibromyalgia. For me it's a balancing act. Making sure I disconnect, rest, balance things out and have "Me Time" is all very important factors in my mind, body, life and soul. Especially because I am a healer that doesn't use any cards or tools when I am in session. I use my body to read and feel people's energy.  I feel energy and I feel Spirit touch me, a Loved One that has passed away, or left this physical world. 
There is a such thing as life after death. Trust me they communicate with me daily.  So when a family member wants to connect with a loved one who has passed.  They come to a Medium, like me, to communicate.  For me it's like picking up a phone and dialing up a Spirit.  I can feel their emotions, hear their voice and feel them in my body or touch my body. I am Psychic, I am a medium I do have a Communication degree and certificate, I have facilitated parenting classes but I am a spiritual healer. I am a healer. I move energy and heal your body, mind and soul. This is my God given gift. And I thank God, my Angels and the universe for these gifts daily. 
They talk a lot about Spiritual gifts in the Bible. One verse is in 1 Corinthians 12 <- - click

I am so feeling that I can also feel a living person's energy, vibrations and emotions.  
A feeling person, also referred to as an Empath, is one my senses and can be considered a gift or a curse. My friend Scooter always says, "Peej you have super powers- now remember he says, you can't get something for nothing." Meaning there's always a pro and a con. There is always a payoff he says. Which I relate to the fact that I have Fibromyalgia. 
And it's true. Feeling is a gift, but looking back on my life now, it could also be looked at as a curse! LOL
Its actually a gift that makes me the amazing healer and reader that I am. I mean when I'm in a session with someone I can feel if they have kidney pain or I can feel a loved one that has passed giving me a feeling that I have to decode, or they touch me, when I'm connected to their energy. I can hear them speaking or they will touch my hair, head or arm, sometimes it's their way of confirming what I'm saying is correct. I always say, "It's pretty amazing while I'm in the office- but not so amazing when a I'm at the mall." 
Because I feel everyone's crap and I hear feel and see spirit and feel energy. That's how I read people, by their energy and aura. But when I'm at the mall it's a bit overwhelming for me. I get over simulated and then feel wiped out or fatigued. That's my fibromyalgia too!

This is where meditation or what I call "Me Time" comes in handy. It allows me to quiet my mind, clear the energy, and the thoughts, take a mental and physical break and just let it all go, even if it's just for a few minutes of my day. It's just disconnecting for a few minutes here and there. I sometimes say, it's like putting gas in your car. If you're on a road trip and you've driven through two states on a tank of gas, trust me, if you don't stop that car and put more gas in it, it will force you to stop by actually running out of gas or possibly over heating. The same way as your body does when it speaks to you, it's telling you I'm tired, stop, I'm overwelmed and then if you ignore it and keep going and going, to work, to this, and to that. ..and then it says, "I'm done, I'm shutting down, "I'm sick now!" And it forces you to stop. 
Okay back to the car... You already drove 900 miles and the gas gauge says empty.  You have to stop the car, turn it off and put gas into its tank, which is also taking a break, which could be considered a break, or stop time, or meditation time, which is also known as "Me time!" LOL

Over the years on my spiritual journey I've learned a few things here and there from classes, Silvia Brown, Sonia Choquette, self help books, and many more and really just experiencing things and experimenting myself. I have discovered a few things that work and help me disconnect, which then allows me to be in alignment with my higherself, Spirit and my soul. It allows me to disconnect, clear and be in that quiet space of peace, even if it's a few minutes. Sometimes it feels like I have to force myself, but after I do, I feel spiritually refreshed and feel a sense of a clearer thinking, and just a peace calm feeling body. After I mediate I feel stronger and better. This only takes a few minutes out of your day. And if you do a few minutes here and there throughout your day, it's awesome for your soul.

Here area few things that work for me:
You can take a bath with a candle burning and just watch the candle's flame flicker and just feel the warm water on your body and how wonderful it feels. Not thinking how wonderful- feeling how wonderful. We want to give the brain a rest and not think about anything. And trust me- thoughts will come in and I just put my hand up and imagine I'm pushing them aside and sometimes I have to say, "I hear you, but right now I'm taking some "Me Time" and you can come back later, after my "Me Time."

We all have God given gifts or senses. When we're taking some me time we want to put the knowing or thinking senses aside and we want to relax and feel, which requires your eyes to be closed, so that when we see, which also requires one side of your brain to take a break, so don't see and analyze- you look at something and admire. You look and feel. No solving or thinking or brain work allowed when looking. Turn off that curiosity and just be free from it all. Just admire, which is feeling and enjoy what you see. 
It's almost like day dreaming, which is also a great "Me Time" exercise. When you sit there alone and quietly and allow yourself to let go of ego and any learned expectations and just day dream, you allow your mind to go on a journey and venture off into a fairyland. It's an amazing gift and tool to be able to venture off into our safe place. This allows us to disconnect from reality and from analyzing things and let's us dream while we are awake, allowing all of those fantasizing thoughts to come in, venturing off into a great space and allowing wonderful thoughts to enter. It's such an amazing feeling, once you've returned from an adventurous fantasy and you feel happy and spiritually charged and hopeful. If you can imagine it, then it's possible, not just in our head, when we day dream, but in our real life's journey, which allows hope and openness to the possibilities. Sometimes when I allow my expectations or learned ways to be pushed aside and just let myself go, I will see things unfold and I get answers. Not everyone can daydream. This is what I consider a God given "gift" and to some it can be very frustrating.  So if you try it once and it doesn't just come naturally then you can't do it- try the other things I will share. Please don't try and try and get frustrated and then retreat into your head and feel irritated or frustrated. Just let it go and find something that is easy and makes you feel good, relaxed and revived.

Going to the beach and sitting alone on the sand and watching the beautiful waves for a few minutes, then closing your eyes and just listening to the waves for a few minutes, then opening your eyes and watching- well you get the idea. While doing this you want to focus on your breathing- in and out slowly, not thinking about if you're breathing too slow or too fast, remember we are feeling not thinking, just feel the breathe in and feel the calmness set in, while setting the intention that this is "Me Time" and for the next few minutes you're turning off your thoughts. Disconnecting from that analyzing side of the brain. You're goal is to disconnect for a few minutes and just enjoy the beauty of the ocean and Mother Earth. You could sneak in talking to your Angels, or allow a few minutes of prayer at the beginning, but to be honest I need you to set an intention with yourself and your Spirit Guides that this is "quiet time" because let me tell you one of my Guides is a chatty Cathy. So you should say out loud or in your mind's eye, this is me time and we're NOT open for business and we're going to push those thoughts aside, and for the next however many minutes you choose I'm going to be mostly focusing on disconnecting and feeling, then you can talk after I'm done, and then I will listen and be open to thinking again.  But until then, I'm on a break. (And remember to thank them for respecting your wishes after.)
Then just relax, focus on your breath and admire the amazing waves crashing and the peace and comfort you feel from the sounds of the ocean.

Another thing that works wonderfully for me is walking at night. Not waking during the day, but walking under the stars. It does something to me, my mind, body, and soul. I'm not sure if it's just the stillness of the night, the stars or the moon, but it does something to my soul.  Plus it's like hitting two birds with one stone. Haha that's sure an old school phrase, I mean where did that phrase come from?  lol 
I say it all of the time and I've never hit a bird! Who hits birds anyway?! lol

Okay Peej- back on track here! Walking at night is amazing! You get a break in the stillness of the night and disconnect from the energy of everything at your home, and then you get some exercising in too after dinner. 
A win win!

Another thing I've noticed is laying or sitting there playing Candy Crush or any video game where your looking at the game and trying to solve or figure something out that you're seeing on a screen.  It takes your mind away from reality for a while.  You're not thinking about work or your relationship issues while you're on level 67 on Candy Crush and you're trying to get to the next level for the last 25 minutes haha it's impossible! Because your mind is in a space where is connected to that game, trying to plan the next move, thoughts of life are pushed aside because you're using strategy to complete that level and move on to the next. Never thought you'd hear that come out of my mouth huh?! LOL

Another thing that really helps me is getting a foot massage or full body massage. I love love love massage. I lay there, they soak my feet and then massage me.  Sometimes when I'm laying there I want to think or listen to my Spirit Guides talk while laying there and I just say, "I'm taking some "Me Time" right now, come back later."  And I just lay there and feel how amazing it feels to feel the warm hands massaging me and I feel how relaxed I am and how I feel in that moment.

Something I tell clients to read a book. Not a self help book, because that allows you to think about yourself and you do a lot of reflective thinking. It has to be a love story or a thriller or mystery so that when you're reading it you're actually in your head, as if you're watching a movie in your mind.  I'm not much of a reader so I can't relate, but this is something my Guides bring forward all of the time.  For me to read a book I have to be on an elliptical or treadmill to read.  I know- Crazy huh?!  But very true LOL

Guided meditation is also great for those of us that are always in our heads. When you listen to a guided meditation your eyes are closed and your hearing someone taking you through a journey and your relaxed and heart is open to this amazing journey that someone is guiding you through.  A lot of healing comes from guided meditation.  It works with your subconscious mind.  I love guided meditations. I have several on YouTube under "Medium Peej".

Another good "Me Time" exercise is listening to music, the kind where you are singing the lyrics. When you listen to your favorite music it feels good, it does something to your soul, plus how can you think about your stressful work issues when you're singing the words to an amazing song?  Now wait a minute. .. I'm not talking about listening to county music or some Marvin Gay, which usually are love story based songs, especially if you're having relationship issues!  That would just activate energy and the whole point is to disconnect.  Make sense? Just music that you like and that you can sing the words to. I mean feel good music. La♪la la♪♫ la la🎶 
And dance to it.  Move your body.  Get that energy flowing and shake it! 


These exercises allow us to disconnect mentally from our life, body, and thoughts, and allows us to be open to peace and stillness. The results are amazing. I always come back recharged, refreshed and stronger!

Like Cora says in my favorite movie "Madea goes to Jail, Madea calls her daughter and asks where she is because she isn't supposed to drive and she needed a ride. Cora says, I'm getting my hair done, I'm having some "Me Time" let's just say Madea was not happy about her taking time for herself and she let her know. I love that movie. It does something to "MY" soul lol
We all think about and WANT "Me Time" , but life, work, our children, friends or just life get in the way.  Life and people are always going to want our time until we decide our body and soul NEEDS "Me Time", it will go to the bottom of our list of importance and not be a priority. And things I notice when I don't make time for me is I start getting snippy, or fatigued or exhausted feeling.  I feel like I'm on a treadmill or hamster wheel and I exert a lot of energy but get know where or get very little done.

Make time and make it priority- trust me, you will notice a huge difference in life. I know it brings me peace!

Thank youfor reading and I am sending you love and light.
