Dear Dyan:

In 2004 my ex-husband ran me down with his car, beat me from head to toe and rammed a hatchet into my head several times, leaving me with severe traumatic brain injury, multiple internal injuries, and post traumatic stress disorder. Then 8 months later I lost my father. Even though the doctors claimed I would not survive, I did. Even with my best friend David by my side and all the miraculous accomplishments I’ve done, I still feel lost, as if I don’t belong. Like I’m terrified to let anyone in. I see a psychologist and psychiatrist forever it seems and all they do is hand me meds and see me in a few months. It’s as if I’m still living the nightmare and I know the Angels were sent to save me for a reason. I have managed to re-learn to read and write and re-enter college working toward a Bachelor in Medical Administration. I have the power to heal others. However, I’m not able to find that same power to heal myself after six years. I desperately need guidance to find the essence of who and what I truly am. – To Recover From The Darkest Experiences

Dear Recover:

This is heartbreaking. Truly. First up I advise you to see an EMDR specialist for your post traumatic stress disorder. This will help you! Please do so! Next, I assure you that you have a purpose here and through all of this hideous pain, you will discover that very purpose. The power to heal yourself is in layers and you have to start at the beginning. Just as you re-learned to read, write, and found the courage to go back to college, in this way you will soon uncover who you really are. Through great adversity miracles arise. You are tenacious. You are a survivor, not a victim. You are alive. You DO belong. And you are not alone. Angelic guidance points to allowing yourself to go through the healing process of releasing all of this grief. And in so doing, your life’s purpose will unfold. Without the darkness, we cannot know light. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Dyan, I’m looking for advice on a friend of mine I’ve known for 8 months now. He makes me so happy but he’s in/out of my life a lot. I’m worried about him. I haven’t heard from him in awhile now. I miss him when he’s not around. He’s like a bright light in my life as I’ve been having financial difficulties. He makes my heart smile. I’m wondering what spiritual advice you could give me on him…I’m so confused. Thank you.
– Friend of Mine

Dear “Friend:”

When we’re having a rough time, it’s easy and natural to want to escape into a friendship or romance. The truth is we can’t look to the outside to fix our life. We must fix it ourselves. Happiness comes from inside, not out, no matter what our circumstance. It’s true that people can be bright lights to us in our dark hours and there’s certainly nothing wrong with that. It’s just that Spirit asks that you find the light within.

Hi Dyan:

I have been going through very difficult financial times over the last 1½ years and through it all I have remained positive and have put my trust and faith in God and the universe to provide and guide me to a better place. I am sitting here frustrated today as at the moment I seem to be going backward no matter how hard I have been working and praying and keeping an open mind for guidance. I feel hopeless because after today’s setback I feel like giving up. I feel it’s enough now. I have struggled long enough to make things turn for the better and to start going forward in life. I am not even sure now if I am on the right path anymore. I actually feel lost and very disappointed. Enough is enough. I deserve better. I deserve a break!! What should I be doing? I am totally at a loss. I obviously have commitments and responsibilities and cannot give up, but a bit of positive news and a positive direction would go a long way. I need some clear visions or messages from God to show me the way. What is your advice?
Thanks
Jan

Dear Jan:

So many have been having such a challenging time over the last few years, especially when it comes to finances. We are all being challenged on this major course correction to get money in perspective as the energy of exchange, not as power, and to create our lives in different ways than ever before. I understand completely where you are and how you are feeling. I understand your frustration.

Start with “Do I have everything I need for now? Am I safe? What needs to stay and what needs to go in this transition and reorganization period?” Also: “Where am I trying to go? What is the underlying belief system that brought me to where I am now?” And “Who or what is my Source?” Know this: Nothing stays the same. Everything is always in a state of change, no matter how it appears. And from Voice of the Angels-A Healing Journey Spiritual Cards, the card Island-Sunset:

“The sun that’s setting slowly
Is but a glimmer of what’s to be
Know that as you go along now
An ending is a beginning for thee.”

We may not be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel, particularly when we’ve been struggling along in the dark for so long. When we’re so tired, our eyes tend to stay closed. But it’s definitely there. And too, the more we struggle and thrash about in angst, the more we prevent and impede “rescue.” To keep yourself in the present moment – which is where we manifest from – ask “What is the next single thing for me to do?”

Also ask yourself how you can RIDE the waves instead of becoming overwhelmed by the feeling that they are much bigger and more powerful than you are with the ability to crush you. I feel that the months of June, July, and August bring great and welcome change for us all. I hope that helps, Jan. Thankfully, we are almost at the end of this.
