The Latest News
I had a vision this morning that showed meEnergetic Crystaline Forms in the
bottoms of our feet. Check out my blog dated 2/14/06 for more info. http://www.janicelynch.com/BLOG.html
Yesterday I received my newest certification. I am now a Quantum Touch®
Certified Practitioner. This included a 2- day intensive workshop in Kirkland,
WA, 60 hours of healing practice, and a video workshop. Of all the healing techniques
that I utilize, Quantum Touch® is the most versatile. Bones move without effort,
pain disappears, it's just amazing. I'm hard to impress, and I'm impressed.
Check out their website at www.quantumtouch.com - fascinating stuff. This method of healing works long distance as well! If
you would like a session, let me know - janice@janicelynch.com
Messages From Beyond
One of the most controversial things that I do, is bring messages from
the other side (those that have crossed over) to those that are living. I've
heard those folks that have crossed over as 'the living impaired.' I assure you
they are very much alive! They just inhabit spiritual bodies instead of physical
bodies. There are lots of questions surrounding speaking with dead people. If
you have a question, please e-mail me at janice@janicelynch.com and I will answer your questions in future issues of The Portal Newsletter.
For now, let's just begin with a few messages from those that have passed
over. If the message applies to you, and you'd like me to share this with our
readers, let me know and I will include your story in future issues. Your loved
ones that come through will encourage you to find this site and explore it. If
you find you have a message, it is not by accident.
Emily or Amelia is coming through: (Note: words are spoken without breath,
so, it's a bit like psychic lipreading.) She is desiring to speak with her daughter
and her daughter's daughter. She's been gone a long while it feels like. I'm
writing this on Valentine's Day and this has more that the usual significance
for the family. (I ask for them to show me something or tell me something that
would show beyond a shadow of a doubt that we are talking to a specific loved
one. Something that no one could just guess off the top of their head.) She
is showing me pillows - hand made decorative pillows. Someone made them. Either
she or her daughter and grand-daughter. Now I'm hearing the word "rest" - she
wants her family to know that she is at rest. She is at peace and at rest. This
is really important for the family to know because she was suffering a great deal
before she passed. This could be physical pain or emotional pain. It seems to
be a mixture of both. She wants her loved ones to know that she is at peace and
free from any suffering. There is a new baby coming their way or one recently
born. (Note: time is irrelevant for them over there. What is the future often
seems to be in the present.) She is present for them and that event. She's not
missing a thing! (She's going now.)
Alan! (it's a woman's voice) She is quite insistant to be heard. She wants
Alan to know that he did hear her it was not his imagination. He was able to
hear her because he had relaxed a bit at that moment. He tries to hear her, but
he is trying to hear her with his ears and not with his heart. When he relaxes
a bit, she can get through. She's not mad at him, but that strong 'Alan!' was
something she said to him with a lot of emotion when she was on this earth and
so she can use that emotion to reach him now. She wants him to know that she
is with him every day. She is smiling now and winking! It's as if the two of
them have a secret. She loves him deeply and is glad he is doing some things
that bring him happiness. (She is going now.)
There are more lined up to communicate, yet I only have time and space for
one more. We'll take the most insistant. It is a man that moves forward. He
is big and husky. Big barrel chest. He is showing me that in life he had a bit
of a gut, but over there he's back to just being big. He is showing me his hands.
They are rough and calloused. He's proud of their appearance because they show
the work he is strong enough to do. He's telling me he left early. He had more
work to do. He didn't want to 'saddle' his loved ones with so much work. They
can sell the horses if they need to. They'll want to keep the red one if they
can. (There's probably a horse name for a red horse. He's trying to tell me,
but I'm not getting it.) He's now showing me mustangs - wild horses. I cannot
tell if this is literal or figurative. He may be communicating that he is free
and enjoying his freedom or he may want them to take a look at working with mustangs.
I've asked to clarify and all I experience is the feeling of running free and
I see a scruffy horse. Looks like it's losing its winter coat in clumps. (Sometimes
this is like psychic charades.) He's laughing and tells me that they'll know.
I can just stay out of it. He's smiling again and there is a twinkle in his eye.
What a character! Larger than life and full of it! I just got it!!! Wild horses
couldn't keep him away! He's with his family every day. Too cool!
If this sort of thing is of interest to you, I'll be having a group session
entitled, "Voices from Beyond" on Saturday, February 25th from 2 - 5pm. This event is limited to 16 people,
costs $25 and will be held at The Divine Fellowship, 513 Barth Ave, Richland,
WA. Each person will get a message from someone. If you are close enough to
attend, please call me at (509) 946-8656 or e-mail me at janice@janicelynch.com to make your reservations. If you'd like a private session, even if you live
miles away, we can do this over the phone. Let me know if I can be of service either by
the phone number above, or the e-mail above.
Feature Article - Love Redefined
One of the delightful tasks of being a minister is doing weddings. As Phil
and I are both ordained, he usually performs the ceremony and I write specialized
wedding vows for each couple. This particular wedding calls for a Bible quote
from I Corinthians 13 - the chapter of love. We all know that the language of
the Bible is quaint. The phraseology isn't anything like how we speak today.
So, I've written a modernized version of I Corinthians 13 and thought you might
like to read it. First, let me share with you the actual quote from the American
Standard Version of the Bible. It goes like this:
"Love is patient and kind. It is not jealous or boastful. Love is not rude
or selfish; is never irritated or resentful. Love does not rejoice in iniquity,
but rejoices in truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, and endures
all things. When I was a child I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I
thought as a child . . . When I became a man, I put away childish things. And
now abideth faith, hope and love, these three, but the greatest of these is love."
We all know about patience and kindness. No real need to translate those,
yet I'll give you the dictionary equivalent of those words. So tell me, when
was the last time you used the word iniquity in a sentence? Can't say as I remember
doing that recently. Also, this passage tells us what love is NOT. Let's see
what love truly IS.
Love is able to bear trials without murmuring (muttering under one's breath) and
has a sympathetic nature. It encourages and celebrates other's successes. Love
is polite and considerate of others. Love is filled with calm and forgiveness.
Rather than finding fault in another's imperfections, Love delights in what is
good and true. Love is supportive, confident, and abiding. When I was young,
I talked about myself and thought only about myself. When I grew up, I stopped
being so self-centered. And now belief in the truth lives in me as does positive
expectation, and tender goodwill, these three, and the greatest of these is tender
goodwill.
These words in no way change the meaning of I Corinthians 13, yet they enhance
our understanding when observed in parallel to the Bible text. It is so easy
to blow through the "I thought as a child" part without really pondering it fully. With
a slight modernization, we recognize that maturity brings an awareness of our
self-centeredness and moves us into finding value in another.
The word 'love' is used so frequently and for so many things that it seems
to have lost its value for some. I love candy. I love my dog. I love that dress.
I love that TV show. I love that actor. I love Hawaii or Disneyland. You get
the drift.
I've had many a person in my office distressed because their beloved cannot
say the words 'I love you,' to them. 'I love you,' for their beloved has meant,
'Do what I want you to do or I won't love you anymore.' 'I love you,' has meant,
'I want something from you.' No wonder their beloved chooses not to use those
words.
Yet, love is tender goodwill. It is something that can be felt and experienced.
If your loved one has trouble using those words, cut them some slack. Look for
the tender goodwill. If there is no tenderness, perhaps they are responding to
some unspoken hidden meaning that you might unintentionally be sending, or they
may be in a tough spot. Perhaps they haven't learned to express tender goodwill.
We sometimes think we have fallen out of love because the other person doesn't
make us feel all goosebumpy. We may think love has gone the way of the dinosaur
because we don't experience excitement or pleasure. Pleasure is not the definition
of love! It can be a wonderful bonus, like frosting on a cake. Yet, love is
that abiding, enduring tenderness that is the foundation for our hearts. Bitterness
and resentment eat away at that foundation. They are poison to the soul, acid
to the heart, and death to a relationship. Remember this. Resentment is a personal
problem. Bitterness lives within the heart. No one can make us bitter or resentful.
It is our reaction to a situation that brings that to us. It is ignoring a hurt
or an anguish that leads to bitterness and resentment. Got some of that going
on? Find some tools to erradicate them! Ask for help from Spirit! Ask for help
from friends. Ask for help from a professional. Get free of it. Get free of
it NOW! Resentment and bitterness hurts only the one who is embittered or resentful.
Usually, the person that it's aimed at is clueless.
We cannot live without faith - belief in The Truth and belief in our truth,
or hope - positive expectation, or love - tender goodwill. It is impossible to
have an abundant life without giving these things or receiving them. Love - tender
goodwill is of highest importance and costs us nothing. When we expect something
in return, it is no longer tender goodwill, it is manipulation. Don't feel like
offering tender goodwill because you haven't received it? It might be time to
have a chat with yourself or a good friend who will help you see what's amiss
- how to begin to receive and give this blessing of infinite magnatude.
So, what is your definition of love? Does it have some of the qualities
we've discussed here? Is it all about me? Is it all about self? Let's take
the time to reassess our understanding of love. Let's breathe love into everything
we do. The world will be a better place and we can then access the abundant life.
