Journey to Creating Harmony Within. Heather McCabe
As you become more aware pay attention to how she behaves, are the earthquakes that happen and tsunamis that have occurred really a big surprise?! Could it be her way of bringing people back together and our sense of community spirit that has been lost? Is it away of clearing the land getting rid of the old and preparing for the new? Could it be karma being repaid to areas that have really hurt and damaged her, food for thought!!
Being grounded on your journey is important as it helps to keep you focused and provide clarity into your insights. It helps to keep you balanced between spirit and reality, keeping us in the now and the present moment.
Signs when we need grounded are when we begin to daydream, feeling dizzy for no apparent reason, even arguing and not getting your point across, when you recognise any of these then redo the mediation or the visualisation earlier to ground you back to earth.
Tools to help on your journey
Crystals are another tool that you can use to help on your spiritual journey. Crystals linked to the root chakra are ruby, garnet, bloodstone, diamond and hematite. Meditating with crystals can also be beneficial as they can take you on a fascinating journey and tell you a story. Carry the crystals with you and feel the qualities of the stone calm and ground you. These crystals are just suggestions relating to the chakra. What I find when choosing a crystal to work with, go with the crystal you are drawn to as there will be a reason as to why it resonates with you.
A year or two ago, I was at a local body and soul event where local traders of crystals, psychics, mediums and other new age people come together for the occasion. One such time I attended one with my youngest son, he had some money and was dying to spend it, so he had a look around and then when back to the stalls that had the crystals he was drawn to. At that particular time when we attended, he had been suffering from knee and lower back issues after falling from his bike and he was receiving physiotherapy for it. Anyway, all the crystals he picked that day were to do with spinal realignment. I was gobsmacked when I got home and checked them out, red jasper was his favourite and is known as the worry bead which was relevant to him at that time. It also cleanses the blood and the circulatory system which he would have needed to help the damage he had done to the area. The other crystal I remember he bought a few pieces of was selenite, which is good for the calming of the mind and realigning the spinal column and strengthening the skeletal system, which amazed me. He was a young boy of nine years and he had tapped into his intuition and the subtle energies of the crystals and selected the ones that would heal his body.
I do know that after using them he felt much better, the pain subsided quiet substantially and only required a few more sessions of physiotherapy. It’s amazing what happens when we follow our instincts and trust!
Automatic writing is another tool in connecting with spirit, your higher self and the angels. I like to do this and it’s outstanding the messages that come through. Parts of this book have happened this way. Initially similar to meditation, it’s good to quieten the mind and just write the thoughts, words, and phrases that come in. It’s when you read it back and you see you have a perfectly formed conversation and paragraph in front of you, that you don’t recall writing! That’s freaky but rather cool. You may also find that the writing isn’t yours that’s a strange thing to see. Sometimes I have seen my writing change a few times and this to me is indication that there has been more than one angel or spirit working with me.
Here is the first automatic message I received
“Blessed is the light that shines you on your way, be guided. Trust! Believe this is the key. Follow the wind be free, wherever it takes you be free!”
As you practice it, you might ask a question then wait for the answer. I have seen sometimes when I have written a reply to a text message and spirit or the angels have taken over and I read it back, there’s no errors and has perfect flow. Normally I have fingers and thumbs when typing and make up random words, the curse of predictive text on mobile phones.
Parts of this book came flooding in this way, sometimes when I wasn’t ready and mid treatment with someone - not the perfect timing - and I had to mentally ask for them to wait until I was able to write things down or provide me with a mental dictator phone. The number of notebooks I required was unbelievable, random bits of paper with writing on it took over. Even when typing on the computer sometimes my fingers just took over.
Dowsing is another means of asking yes no questions and receiving answers. Using a pendulum you hold it steady in your fingers and you ask it for a yes and for a no. For me a yes will rotate round in circles and no will rock backwards and forwards. Firstly, I will start by using obvious yes and no questions like is my name Heather “yes” am I 65 years old “no” (thankfully) although sometimes I feel it, but you get my drift of the context. After that, I will ask other questions I am looking for answers to in my life. I even use it at the start of the day to see what clients will turn up and which won’t, usually it is correct. Sometimes if I ask it if a client will turn up and I get a no but it’s only slightly moving, it normally means that no they won’t turn up at 2pm, more likely 2.15pm. It’s useful to give me an idea how my day is going to go.
Tarot cards and oracle cards are good tools to use. You don’t need to read them professionally, you can use them for yourself and I do have to confess here that I love using the cards. I have quite a collection of cards. I find I am drawn to a certain packs for different occasions, sometimes I use two or three packs. Initially, I found I did the cards first and read them, interpreted them and incorporated the meanings into my day. Now I find that I use them as a backup. For example, if I had done a reiki and gave some feedback from what came out during the session, always when I used the cards it just echoed what I had said, which was brilliant confirmation not only, for me but to clients too.
One recently that was remarkable, was prior to the reiki session starting, my friend was telling me that in the morning she heard a really loud noise almost like a bumble bee humming in her ear. She had asked her husband “Can you hear that?”, to which he replied “No”. Instantly, when she said what she heard I had the thought that it was her tuning into the frequencies of spirit. Already I had picked up the fact that the angels were there waiting for her to connect and ask them for help. After the reiki I gave her cards to pick and she selected three. The first one had the words presence and acceptance on it. The picture, I kid you not was of a little girl looking in wonder and a bright bumble bee that radiated light – how uncanny was that? That was precisely the image she had described, the little girl on the card was her. Confirmation that what we had discussed was right.
All these are just some of the ways that you can help to open up and connect with your spiritual side. What is important is that you do what resonates with you and that you feel comfortable with, but also practice practice practice….

Message from the angels
Once our inner love for ourselves is found, it creates a strength and a power within. Confidence grows and your body and mind ooze vitality.
When we let go of all the pain and emotions that we choose to carry, our body energy flows freely without blocks. When we let it go our health returns.
