Question

I'd like to know how I can get more out of meditation because everytime I try to do it, I either get sleepy or feel nothing at all and yet I'd like to communicate with my Higher self. Kindly advise me on what I could try to do.
- Michael, Kenya

Answer

Your Self is trying to stop you from letting go and allowing the Higher Self in. Until you can be aware of your Self and of the way it is sabotaging you, you cannot move forward. You need to do a lot of work in releasing fear which is deep down in your subconscious. Your Self has a fear of letting go and allowing itself to be free. A good guided meditation CD would assist you to relax and still the Self.

Question

Hi, I have been working on manifesting abundance in all areas of my life. How is my progress? I was born and raised in The Gambia, West Africa, now I am a US resident.

Answer

You are doing well, but you still have quite a lot of work to do and astrologically it is not time yet for you to manifest in large amounts.

Question

About a week ago, around 6.30pm I was having a picnic at our local botanical gardens. And I decided to lay down on my picnic mat to look into the sky. It happened that the sky was cloudless directly where I laid my mat. To my amazement I saw what appeared to me a matrix of grey lines. As I softened my focus the lines became stronger. It was like a hologram except that it was grey and I am very sure that it's in the sky.

Today I visited the same spot at the same time i.e. 6.30pm. However, there were many clouds and it took me awhile as I softened my focus and looked into pockets of empty sky to see if the matrix was still there. It appeared, but this time it was yellowish green and quite patchy in certain areas. I spent atleast half-an hour using soft focus and the matrix of lines became stronger but still subtle and they even appeared through the clouds. It reminded me of a cross section of a bee hive except that it had irregular shapes.

Has this anything to do with the new energy? If so, what exactly is it? And why the different colours and patchiness?

Answer

It is not connected to the new energy, it is just an atmospheric marking due to the weather.
