Psychic, Intuition, and Relationship Problems with Generational Curse

February 7, 2012 by Linda Crane 5 Comments

First thing to understand is that people are not always using their psychic abilities, in the most positive ways, and this can be misleading. Intuition is deeper than psychic interpretations. Intuition comes from a much deeper knowing. This poses problems and can incur the perpetuation of a generational curse. Generational curses are handed down from one generation to another knowingly or unknowingly. The misconception is that a curse of any type has to do with voodoo or spells that you have no control over, and that you do not have what it takes to get rid of them for yourself. We have allowed or presently allow openings for curses to occur more then what meets the eye. Willful-negativity goes a long way with inflicting a curse.

Everyone is intuitive, yet we can misuse this ability and decide to have no part of it. It is what we call the sixth sense. Some are born with this knowing and some who are using psychic awareness, still require practice to develop intuition, which is real knowing. Just because someone has psychic abilities does not make a person more spiritually evolved. Yet I have known people who can tap in and know things; yet many people who have this ability are not necessarily heart centered spiritually advanced souls. They can be psychic and still show a lot of human faults and can even misuse their abilities negatively towards others.

Victimization attitudes, weak wills, and holding in mind, the evil that has not been transmuted or dissolved into loving oneself; is the start, to how these curses harbor within us and are set into motion through uncleared violations (in other words sins) on each others families. Lack of self love and appreciation holds curses in place as well. Sin is ignorance of the laws of nature and Oneness. Energy is very palpable and can be received from and to another. Energy can be understood as an essence and a feeling. How do you get a sense that something is good for you or not good for you? The senses get us in touch with these actions. They are energies. The sixth sense is of the intuitive realm and it’s harder to recognize it, and it’s also an energy. Some people are deluding themselves, and others as well, when they think they are linked up and they give you the means of solving your problems. They don’t always have your answers. Some have parts of the picture to tell you. The reason for the confusion is in how the mind/ego works. We have never been taught this in schools.

Although this may be shocking, here are some facts: The mind works like a computer. Man built computers on the principles of mind. The deeper mind, your subconscious mind, is a storehouse of knowledge as well as negative programs each family has placed in it over lifetimes and generations. The mind works on these principles way before there ever were computers. In order to delete the garbage stored in the computer banks, the boss, the person in charge, or the owner of the computer, has to show up, and has to hit the delete button and take out the programs. In essence you are the computer programmer of these generations of problems that you now experience.

The computer will never delete itself by it’s own accord. It has been built and takes orders from you and those people in your family line before you. You also create new programs some of which are negative in this lifetime. Stuck, held in, negative energies/programs that are already placed in the computer are held there, and start running. The non emotional computer, just keeps doing its thing until you reprogram it to do something differently. You are the owner and the boss of these computer programs. That’s why you have the capacity to take them out. My products: Breaking the Family Curse,DVD, Curses to Blessings,CD, and meditation Cd, Honoring Spirit, teach you how to defrage and delete your computer programs and clear the mind. You can read more about them at www.Lindacrane.com, and wwwBreakingTheFamilyCurse.com

The mind/ego is tricky business. It always gets you to see what’s not enough, what’s wrong with something, and leaves you wanting (in the lack of having mode). And until you get that something you are looking for, you will never have happiness. You start to beat yourself up when you don’t know the answer. The mind sends you all over the place to try and figure things out, when it doesn’t know the answer. You keep asking it for information it doesn’t have. The empty file drawers within the computer can’t give you an answer it does not have. Yet you feel like you have to listen to it and do what it tells you. It’s just the way you have been programmed. Now what kind of friend is the mind to do that?? We are stuck into the illusion, that habit of thinking, that this is the way it is and the way it works, and that you are to get our answers from outside of yourself.

The mind is not from the source of intuition. Beingness /God Source creation is the source of intuition/inspiration. When one is inspired, one is ‘In Spirit’. This is the place where all intuitive answers come from. The mind will never know this place of Oneness of Beingness/God because the mind is a lower level than Beingness. (When we took the step away from our Source, the mind was created as the way into the maya, illusion of this world, this Earth experience). The mind is the vehicle of separation from our Source/God.

Did you ever hear the statement which is mostly said in regards to meditating: In order to get in touch with God you have to be out of your mind? There are bumper stickers now that say, “Don’t believe everything you think“. Eckhart Tolle (author, The Power of Now and The New Earth) said he killed his mind. Sages talk about scorching the mind. Those who meditate practice on stilling and quieting the mind. That in the silent stillness, that place of no thoughts, is where all answers arise. When there are problems in life, you can allow the clouds of problems to dissipate when you still and quiet the mind. When the mind is quiet the Sun of your heart will shine again.

If you get rid of the excess garbage in your computer then you will be freed up, just like free space on your hard drive, and you will become more and more clear on what is your next step. Unwanted useless energy out, and in with the positive actions to clear away any past generational family and relationship habits, perpetuating from the past. Our genes hold our energy patterns. In science the new field of Epigenetics is showing how your environment and your choices can influence your genetic code — and that of your kids. It has proven that we do not have to be victims of our past and hold those energies that are from generations before us in our genes. We can actually change our genes, destiny. We do not have to live out those patterns from our past history or present life any longer.

It’s true the mind is a very powerful instrument. But intuition is beyond the mind, and it surpasses the mind in knowledge and how to take care of all our problems when we learn to get in touch with it. We can stop being led by the mind/ego, which can be very subtle in making us listen and repeat again and again those habits, thoughts, and patterns that makes one a slave to his/her past.

Ride the Wave: Chinese Zodiac Year of the Water Dragon 2012

January 23, 2012 by Linda Crane 4 Comments

The year of the Water Dragon is the symbol of the mighty majestic Chinese Dragon (Ren Chen). Its energy is ‘ Yin” in nature which is masculine and the predominant color is Black. From the void in the dark, (black) much is created. The black in this case is not to be thought of as negative. The Year of the Water Dragon starts off it’s year on January 23, 2012, at 6:00 am. and continues through February 9, 2013. Get ready for an amazing year to come.

The element of water is the most powerful element. It’s the element that can transform from Ice, to liquid, and gas. There are other years of the Dragons such as the Metal ,Wood, Fire and Earth Dragons. The Water Dragon takes the place of the most powerful. The last cycle of the Water Dragon was 1952, sixty years ago. The next cycle will be in 2072. The Water Dragon nourishes wood equating to abundance. It’s time to enjoy abundance, optimism, growth, and expansion. It’s the start of a good luck cycle for 12 years. For those who are a water Dragon sign, it’s time to be bold and not humble.

In the (60) sixty year cycle of the Chinese Zodiac the Water Dragon is the most powerful of the animals. Chinese dragons are known to have auspicious powers, and in particular control over water, rainfall, floods, and hurricanes. It’s movement is very quick and powerful, like lightning and whirlwinds, thunder and rain and is known to be unpredictable. Hence, a year of quick changes! The strong energy of water could point towards weather conditions or changes on the economic, social and political scenes. 2012 begins and election year in the U.S., Russia, China and France. Look forward to progress and courageous reforms. The Year of the Dragon can be thought of as bringing order from chaos as well as upheavals.

The color Black is dominant this year. The Dragon loves splendor and grandeur. and this years movement nourishes successful growth. Astrology is such that the Year of the Dragon starts February 4, 2012, and relates to Alpha Draconis. On June 6, 2012, Venus transits the Sun. Transits of Venus across the Sun Disc are among the rarest of planetary alignment. The next cycle of Mayan Creation starts December 21, 2012. Alpha Draconis was the North Pole Star of ancient times. The 2012 Water Dragon coincides with the “Return of Quetzalcoatl” a Meso-American supreme deity, a feathered serpent. By 2720 BC the first round in the current cycle of 13 b’ak’tuns of the Mayan long count calendar was complete. The current cycle of 13 b’ak’tuns ends December 21, 2012. We then enter the next cycle of Mayan Creation.

Quetzalcoatl was another name for Venus – related to the gods of wind, dawn, merchants, arts and crafts. Quetzalcoatl was also the patron god of the Aztec priesthood, of learning and knowledge. Every (8) eight years, Venus begins a new cycle. Venus goes retrograde (the apparent backwards motion in the sky) (5) five times within this (8) eight year period. All (5) five retrograde points create a perfect (5) five pointed star in the sky. This pentagram, (5) five pointed star, is actually the symbol of MAN.

The Water Dragon lives by ‘to the thine own self be true’ philosophy, is democratic and liberal minded,( this is not necessarily referring to their political ideals or affiliations) and will not seek revenge on those that oppose him/her. He/She can accept defeat or rejection without bitterness.

What will be around us in 2012? There is much fearful propaganda. It is good to be at a place of acceptance. For that is a powerful place to be, because change is inevitable. (I have written blog on 2012 that you may wish to consider reading). This is a time to hone ourselves, become a better version of ourselves, and become more of what we are capable of being. Part of that is to decide on letting go of the past and welcome new changes. Many things of the past weighs us down when they are no longer useful. To everything there is a season. You can choose to turn the page and move on. Decide from what perspective you will look at your present and future. Water Dragon people are calm and will know how to act wisely. He/She is quick and reliable and is capable of marketing his/her ideas with untiring devotion, yet may have to make difficult choices along the way. He/She will be able to devote his/her energies to fewer but more rewarding endeavors.

In Numerology, 2012 is a year of Freedom, Courage and Change. 2012 adds up to a (5). It’s a year of living in the fast lane. The year of quick and many changes for us all. Five (5) is a freedom and fun loving energy. Five is a year of diversity, chance, variety, choice, travel and different cultures, different belief systems, It’s about the sudden, unexpected, the unusual and a very physical year. Passions also rise in the five year. Sexual energies can be heightened in this year. Be cautious of impulsive behavior, and change just for the sake of change without any real basis to your actions. Over-indulgence in the physical aspects of life also include: food, alcohol, drugs, gambling, taking foolish chances, and extravagance. You may feel freer while in this behavior, but they are really addictions of some type.

Our outer world now starts to reflect the inner changes we made in 2011. Freedom itself is one of the most important aspects of our times. You will have to create some resourceful and innovative ways to retain and expand our freedom, whatever that may mean to you personally. New people, places and possibilities. Choose wisely. Route #5 is the conjunction highway to all roads. This is where all traffic seeks a change in course direction. This year you can become aware of the repeated frequent mistakes you make that bring you disappointment. If you are really open to meaningful change you will become more capable, stronger, relaxed and effective in changing these old habit patterns. Growth circumstances are abundant and rewarding in the (5) five year. This year will place emphasis on the health of your body, taking care of it, and respecting it with tender loving care. Take some R&R. Your personal astrological chart will show you your path, your course of action, in this unusual year. It will provide the alternatives you seek! Contact me by email linda@lindacrane.com or go to my contact page on my website at lindacrane.com, to request, an astrological chart reading, astrological update or intuitive psychic reading.

All years of the Dragon have been traditionally been associated with new beginnings and good fortune. An Intuitive year is at hand. Especially since water is associated with Spirit. With so many quick fast changes we will have to rely on our intuition more than rather listen to old habits of your mind. All our answers lie intuitively inside us, when we learn how to listen. See the beauty waiting to be born inside of you. Welcome it in to assist you.

201(2) the (2) signifies yang water energy, like a deep ocean or river ever deep and flowing. We are being asked to loosen our grip on the past and move forward with optimism and courageousness, to move more freely into the unknown. Water dragons are known for their calm visionary intelligence. Balancing right and left brain activity, creativity with logic to get the best within us. With Water Dragons influential progressive spirit this will be a dynamic year, and many changes arise to build strong new foundations. Keynotes to look forward to in the Year of the Dragon: Luck, good fortune, intense power, freedom, lessening of restrictions and rules, passion, and courage to face changes. Will you embrace it?

2012 is the year we finally have the courage to open the door wide and start a new chapter. Begin anew. Look to the past with gratitude and make a decision to lovingly set yourself free from whatever is holding you back. Let go and let God! We are being awakened to our true nature as powerful beings. Will you resist or will you embrace it. Inflexibility towards change will make this year difficult and overwhelming. Let go. Trust and look to the truth inside you!

The last year of the Dragon was in 2000 (Metal Dragon year). This year saw problems with Bernie Madoff’s Ponzi Scheme ignored by financial authorities. If you keep looking deeper into matters to see if they are good for you, while curbing impulsive decisions, then 2012 will look towards anchoring capital in land and property. A good year for planning and strategic investments. Seeds planted will bear fruits in years to come.

2012 Bestows the Water Dragon’s: Chinese 5 Blessings: 1) Harmony, 2) Virtue, 3) Riches, 4) Fulfillment and 5) Longevity. This is a year that can boost individual fortunes and the world economy. The Water Dragon has: Bold, Benevolent power, and is ancient, majestic, wise, and intelligent. 2012 is auspicious for new businesses, marriage and children.

1. Exercise Care: The foundation step. All other steps are built upon this step:

Breathe, think and focus. Crisis come fast and frequently. Prepare by getting better all the time. Get excellent results from excellent training. Be patient when patience is called for, and act decisively and fast when its urgent and have wisdom to know when to do what. When in doubt act. Inertia is not your friend. No such thing this year as the status quo. When in deep water become the diver. Own the stage, go for the gold. Take very good care of yourself so you can take care of others.

2. Be comfortable with tension and ambiguous unclear behavior: This is the year of opposites that pull at each other. Example: caution and courage, big and small, enthusiasm and resignation, hope and despair, dependence and self-reliance, escape and involvement. Live through the imbalances, and return to your inner gold, find your enter, your core. Dial up your awareness. The should’s, have no place in 2012.

3. Celebrate: Make it a good time to be with YOU. Broadcast your gratitude. Motivate by example. Be enthralled with your good fortune. Treat others as you want to be treated no matter the circumstance. Live everyday like it’s one more than you deserve.

4. Believe in your personal mojo/charm. Your unique energy. Your exclusive charisma and courage. Your one of a kind exclusive ability to contribute and your capacity to produce/create new possibilities. We all have this magic, but few of us use it. Water Dragons fully express themselves and dare to go where others fear to tread. They know what gifts they have been given and what is expected of them in return. They explore and experiment with their limits.

5. Give it your best ‘GO’ to start and finish what you’ll say you’ll learn and do. Commit to yourself whatever it takes. Show more of your masterful self.

6. Water Dragons love to listen and share. Develop your networks any way you can. Online and in person. Meet, tweet and call. They are connectors. They open themselves up. They develop a reputation for adding value.

7. Still the mind/ego and meditate. Success comes from the inner space, of being in the silence. Turn down the chatter and schedule quiet time. Make it a priority each day. In the stillness comes inspiration to boldly go where you have not dared before.

Note: In 2012, better doesn’t mean easier, but better than 2011.

If you are interested in how your own ‘Sign’ fares and affects you in this year of the Water Dragon, then get in touch with me. I’m happy to serve you!

May the flow be with you. May the current always be at your back, and may you ride the wave of your dreams to successful completion.

Blessings,

Linda

Peace Is the Absence of Thoughts

December 11, 2011 by Linda Crane Leave a Comment

When you meditate by quieting the mind, you are attempting to identify with your true nature, your Beingness, God. Effortlessness comes by quieting the mind by releasing all wanting. The basic wants that keeps the mind/ego going is the wanting of approval, wanting control, and wanting security/safety as well as resistance. Repeatedly saying the word “I” is very calming and brings the mind into stillness. I have even repeated the word “I” as I am taking a walk. It makes the thoughts disappear. With “I” alone all else disappears. Everyone of us has experience of the Self, every moment of his/her life. You can not be separated from that which we already are. You do not have to strive to be your true nature. You have come to this planet to recognize this truth of your very Self.

The ultimate truth may not be easy to handle given the way we treat one another on the planet. Yet, in 2012 we are coming to a new turn in our history of human Spiritual growth and evolution. One thing you can not stop is change. Another truth is: I am you. And what you do to another you do to yourself. There is only one of us! Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Yes, even the ones you really don’t like. Love being the greatest power in the Universe is the way to heal our planet and one’s self. To do so requires getting in touch with your true nature and calming, quieting the mind, and being inspired with the intuitive messages; that will find ways for you out of your situations like none you have tried, forced, or resisted before. 2012 is about another way of living and developing. Getting in touch with the “God Force” is getting in touch with “Loving” yourself. When you are approving of yourself you are giving love to yourself. It’s harder to give love to another until you are loving to yourself. No matter what has happened to you love is your true nature. The more you are in touch with love, your life moves in the flow, and you feel happy and lighter. Burdens are lifted.

The mind is creative. Whatever comes out of your mouth, or pops up, is what you are holding in mind. The mind is never satisfied. It always wants more, and it tells you: you didn’t, you are not, you can’t, you shouldn’t. This is all limiting energy. Our true nature is unlimited. The true God power within you is now to be recognized as we move into 2012. Your mind beats you up for not being perfect. It always sees in limitations. Even if you do everything well there still is: do better. Disturbance is due to the arising of thoughts. He/She who thinks raises trouble. Thoughts are motivated by feelings. If you let go of what you want to prevent then you are not holding it in mind. The mind being creative, will bring to you what you focus on. Hold in mind, loving happy thoughts.

At this holiday Season it would be a great gift to yourself to let go of that which is making you uncomfortable. Every time you come from feelings you are coming from the past thoughts on the matter. When you quiet the mind you allow new, fresh information, inspiration, to come forth and help you with any disturbances in your outer world. I wish you Peace. The Peace of “I”.

Earth Sky Meditation

Meditation of Heaven and Earth

also called the Earth/Sky Meditation
and the Unity Breath
by Drunvalo

“I was amazed at the simplicity of this meditation, and yet the power of the results. It changed my life.” -Drunvalo Melchezidek

Dear Students, Clients, and Friends:

I want to share this great, loving, and helpful meditation with as many people as possible. I love doing it and it opens the heart. I learned it through books, and classes. Drunvalo received this Meditation from Sri Yukteswar, through his inner vision. Sri Yukteswar was the guru to Yogananda. Drunvalo checked with his Inner Guides and Angels to see if the information was appropriate. The Angels made it clear to him that this was something that was good for him and the Earth.

“With only slight variations, indigenous people around the world use this meditation before any sacred ceremony begins. The Aboriginals in Australia, the Maori in New Zealand, the Zulu in Africa, the Hopi, Taos, and Lakota Native Americans, the Kahuna in Hawaii, the Eskimos in Alaska, the Mayans in the Yucatan – and others.” -Drunvalo

This is a meditation well worth experiencing!

This meditation is as old as humanity. Yet it is just as important today as it was thousands of years ago. It is a meditation that has form and direction with a purpose of allowing an ordinary person to consciously experience the presence of God. God is always present everywhere – but very often, as humans, we forget. This meditation lets us remember.

The Meditation of Heaven and Earth:

The instructions that follow are simplified so that anyone can do this.

You can be living anywhere on Earth. Just find a quiet place and sit comfortably, on the Earth itself if possible, and close your eyes.

Begin to breathe rhythmically and evenly – meaning that you inhale in the same amount of time that you exhale. Relax, and let your everyday thoughts go. Just simply follow your breath.
In your inner vision, see a beautiful scene from nature. Whatever you see as beautiful, whether it is in the mountains, the desert, the ocean – it doesn’t matter. If it is the mountains, for example, you might see their peaks covered with snow. You might picture rivers, trees, and the animals, and see white, billowing clouds in the sky. Breathe in the clean, fresh mountain air. Do something similar with whatever place you have chosen that is dear to your heart. And in your heart, feel the love that you have for nature and for Mother Earth. Allow this love to become strong until your very body feels this love.
Then take this love that you have for Mother Earth and place it in a little ball – perhaps two inches across – and with your intention send this little ball filled with your love down to the center of the Earth. You send it with the intention that Mother Earth feels the love that you have for Her. And then you wait.
You wait for Mother Earth to send Her love back to you. She always will, as you are Her child. Some people experience it immediately and for others it takes a little while. It is a very real experience. It is not an intellectual thing. It is not you saying to yourself, ”I am now feeling Mother Earth’s love.” When Mother Earth’s love returns to you, it will be as sweet as the time that your own mother looked into your eyes when you were a baby. Feel this love, and let it move all through your body. Let it move through every cell in your body. Let it move even into your Light Body, and all that you are. And for a time – as long as you wish – simply stay in this connected love, with yourself in the arms of the Divine Mother.
When the time seems right, and without breaking the connection with the Divine Mother, turn your attention to the Divine Father, who is the rest of creation other than the Earth.In your inner vision, see a night sky filled with the multitude of stars of the Milky Way. See the planets, the sun (which would have to be over the horizon), and the moon. See the beauty of Creation, and feel the love that you have for the Divine Father. Allow this love to grow stronger until you are ready to burst with tears of love.
And then, just as with the Mother, gather this love and put it into a little ball, and with your intention send it into the Heavens. Either send it to the sacred grids around the Earth, if you understand them, or send it to the Central Sun, if you understand what that means. Or – which is what most indigenous people do – send it to our own sun. It is your intention that matters. And then you wait.
As with the Mother, you wait until the Father sends His love back to you. He always will, as you are His son. When you feel this love return to you, let it move throughout your body and to all your cells.Let it move even into your Light Body and all that you are. Again, you can stay in this love with the Father as long as you wish.
Realize that at this moment you are in love with the Divine Mother and Father at the same time. This is extremely rare, for a human being to experience this. And realize even further that the Holy Trinity is now being manifest on Earth. The Divine Mother, the Divine Father, and you – the Divine Child – are all bound by Love in a Holy Triangle. According to Sri Yukteswar, it is only from this sacred place of the Holy Trinity that the Creator can be seen so clearly and experienced so directly.
Now, without breaking the bonds of love between your Divine Parents, simply allow the presence of God to be experienced directly. Allow God to come within your body as well as all around you. What happens now is between you and God. Trust yourself, as you are a Child of God. Believe in yourself, as you are one with the Source.

From this point on, there are no words.

May this meditation be a blessing in your life and to all those you touch. – Drunvalo.

If you would like to share your experiences I would love to hear from you. This is a good companion with any of my products.

Love & Blessings,

Linda Crane
