I’m trying to reconcile my belief in abundance with my current unemployment and a dwindling bank account. I know there is no lack, but the reality of living for 3 months without a paycheck is starting to get scary. I don’t want to let the fear take over because I know it can have devastating effects on the new job and abundance I’m trying to manifest. But I’m reaching a point where fear of not being able to pay my bills is taking over. It seems I’m a fair weather believer in manifesting my destiny because I don’t find it at all difficult when I have money in my pocket. I would appreciate any advice you can give me…

I’ve been told by some wise people over the years to let go of my attempt to help my 35 year old daughter whose life has been in chaos for 20 years. She has gone through the usual: addiction, failed/disastrous relationships, poverty, etc. It would be easier for me to let go if there was not a child involved. My seven year old granddaughter has been through more than any kid that age should have to endure. They are now homeless again. I’m at a loss. Any guidance would be lovingly received. Thank you!

Ever since I was 17 I have been seeking to know God. I have prayed and meditated and studied the Bible all these years (I am 51 now). I have studied church doctrines, observed nature, read books, etc. Most of all, I have prayed. I have gone through excruciatingly difficult periods in my life and have experienced a lot of different situations in life. The question I am having, and the struggle I am experiencing, is that I feel I know less than when I started out at age 17. I am more confused. I presently have a sense that God is all that is good and all that is bad or evil. The Yin and Yang. Positive and negative energy in One. How can I possibly feel secure with such a God? Maybe I shouldn’t have questioned anything in the first place? But of course, good always triumphs over evil. And overall my life has improved and I have seen many miracles. The fact remains that I am here right now and all is well in my world. The proof of the pudding is in the tasting. I believe my question has been answered. However, if you have a comment on the Good + Evil belief, I would greatly appreciate hearing it. Thank you.

In the face of adversity and stress, I find myself shutting down, isolating, and struggling to remain hopeful. How do I open myself up to the universe? How do I remain hopeful and have an open relationship with the universe when it seems that the universe gives back nothing but grief and hardship? Am I destined to struggle with relationships, money, and a bad job? I have read the 7 Laws of Success at least 100 times since the mid 1990’s, but the words have not connected to my soul. Thank you for your time. I admire your inner peace.

Some years ago I learned Primordial Sound Meditation and attended a Seduction of Spirit week-long event. I have been meditating off and on since then, more off than on. This is because when I meditate (either primordial sound or some other type, for example as learned in a Jose Silva class) may hands (particularly my right hand) will rise on its own accord and being to rotate at the wrist. I have had other sensations as well – my head will rotate and feel pushed over either my right or left shoulder as far as it can stretch. Sometimes my head will rotate and perform what I can only describe as “stretching exercises.” These are not gentle movements – they are very strong and very powerful, although slow and almost methodical. I haven’t (yet) become alarmed by the movements, because they are not painful (the stretching is almost pleasant like yoga)  but they do seem to keep me from meditating regularly. Is this something I should avoid and it is helpful for me to resume my meditation practice? If I feel these sensations coming on, should I end my meditation immediately or somehow direct my mind to “talk my body out of” these movements? What is going on? Thank you.
