JESUS SPEAKS OF PEACE


Jesus
Through Heather Scavetta
For the Introduction to Meditation Workshop Participants
May 18, 2013

My Dear Ones,

We have started a journey, you and I. And so, be not afraid, for I am with you always. You have been born to greatness. Do you not understand this? Rejoice for I am offering you peace. I come from Love. This you know well. Forever we are bound together. We cannot be separate. From now on, you are safe, for you have never left the vision of the Father. Together we are One. Together, we are each other’s salvation. Alone, we can not do the Father’s will for it is impossible. Together we are fulfilling His desire. When you understand that all has been provided for you, you will cease to worry. Join together, help one another. For this too is not only the will of the Father, it is the will of you, of me. Together we are One. Together we are one will. We cannot be separate from His will.

Acknowledge us. Acknowledge who you are and be not afraid for indeed this truth will set you free and there will be no more need of want, of take, of imposing your desires on another for you will know that you have everything you need. Now, in this moment, you need not search, you need not strive, accept. This is not born of religion, this is not born of spirituality, this is born of where you come from. Forever we are bound to one another, find peace in this.

What You Seek, You Have Already Found


JESUS
Through Heather Scavetta
For the Mediumship Workshop
April 27, 2013

Each of you has been given many opportunities to expand the Self, to learn about yourself. When you know who you are, you are able to look at the world, at your brothers and sisters, and see yourself.

You have been born to greatness. There is a power that moves through each of you. This is a gift from the Father Himself, for He wills all to be at peace and also to move throughout existence in a way that will honour Him. And so continue on your quest, for each of you is searching for love, knowing that you not only live in this time and space, but that you live with Us for all eternity. This is true.

Relax, for all has been provided for you. You need not worry about tomorrow, for it will take care of itself. In this moment, you have everything you need. Can you see your brothers and sisters beside you? You need to know that you are not alone, that your life has purpose and meaning; and so continue on your spiritual quest, to seek, to find; but know too that what you seek, you have already found.

But there are those who do not know this, those who feel lost and alone, and abandoned and they look for what you know, and so, reach out to them and show your gifts, for they are in need of healing. And as you give, so shall you receive. Blessed are those who share the gifts of the Father, and indeed you are blessed!

JESUS SPEAKS: WHERE THE POWER IS, WHERE THE JOY IS, WHERE THE PEACE IS


The Council and Jesus
Through Heather Scavetta
For the Monday afternoon circle
April 1, 2013

       Welcome, We are The Council. Each of you holds the light. Indeed the light can be dimmed and it can be brightened. And so, now as We speak, your light is shining in various degrees. Some of you have a large light and this light reaches out to many others and it has come to pass that indeed your light is being noticed by many, who not only walk with you, but those who do not know you and yet feel a remembrance when they gaze upon your face.

The energy changes, and One steps forward to speak...

Loved ones, do you not understand that each of you holds the key - that each of you has what another needs. Can you not reach out to one another and give from your heart, give what you have freely without reserve. For you cannot take the material possessions with you for these are of the world and have their own time of existence. And so yes, they serve a purpose, but release them for they cannot go where you are going.

There are many who are in need of love, for attention, for someone to notice them. Take their hand, look in their eyes and give them the dignity that they so deserve. Keep your head up, see life around you, it is there for you to notice. Each of you will expand the self in many different ways and this is how it should be. And so, although you can be inspired by others, you must do what feels inately right for the self for you know what it is that brings you happiness, and contentment and fulfillment. But I can tell you, that if you do not make a connection with one another, then you will not find yourself.

Just as, in the days that followed my return, there were those who had faith who walked forward and gave freely to those around them, who spread the good word. There was much resistence and you will find it true today, but know too, that there is much hope in the world and you can expand what I started. For it is in loving one another where the power lies, where the joy is, where the peace is. At anytime where you find yourself hesitating to give your love, you will find yourself suffering. And so, we hope that as you learn this, you will understand that as you give love freely, you also give permission to yourself to be happy.

There are many lights that shine on the earth at this time, but there is a ways to go. Once you have worked on the self and understood how you can shine your light, then perhaps it is time that you shared with others more. If you have not found your light, then perhaps it is time that you learnt about your soul’s purpose, about why you are here, about what it is you need to understand. And so, can you see how there are those who are just understanding the self, then there are those who have already worked through this and are at the position now to share, to teach, to help. This is a process different for each of you, and so honour where you are right now, for you cannot leap ahead.

Each of you have been annointed. Each of you have been given gifts and abilities. Each of you knows the truth. Trust, have faith, know that I am always with you. Know that this cannot be any different, for we are bound with one another from the beginning of time.

Hold each other’s hands. Now, take one another’s hands. (the circle joins hands) This is our brothers and sisters. Get used to feeling one another’s hands in yours. This should not be alien to you. Have strength to reach out. Have strength to share what you know. Have strength to open your heart. There is no other way.

There is a book that has been written, but know that there is a fresh book, one that has yet to be written. And so, yes there has been a past, but know that you create what is to be and what is to come. Enjoy, have faith, learn, grow, experience, touch one another, share, love.

Summer 2012


Here I am at Lily Dale, NY again. I'm here this time to learn Psychic Investigation. I am with a friend who has a keen interest in this topic, so I thought I'd come along to have a new experience working with spirit. We'll see what this week will unfold.

I also came to get away and experience a different environment to help me write. I've had some issues about completing my book. I have so much information to share, but the immensity of it is overwhelming to me. I have to remind myself to focus on the next part of the writing and not to think too much about the future or in the details of "book writing. I don't have writer's block. I always have something to write about, its just that because its so close to my heart, I put a lot of pressure on myself and feel anxious about completing something that as an immense amount of importance to my personal journey. Perhaps I place too much importance on it, but it feels that significant to be. I remind myself to write for myself and my own need to express my story and not to be concerned about what will happen later.

There is no television here and little to do in the evenings and so I am in my room writing on my iPad. I think about home, what is important to me and feel overwhelmed with gratitude of all the blessings I have. What a luxury to be able to devote my time to what I love and care deeply about. I feel spirit close to me now, knowing that they support me 100% in whatever I choose to do, but especially when I engage in my work that is part of my life's purpose.

I can often times see another's life purpose so clearly, their life experiences leading them to a place where they are living honestly and from their heart. You can see it in another when their face lights up just talking about what they care deeply about. I was recently visited by a bereaved father.  His son transitioned only two years prior, he is deep in the mourning period. His wife, unable to cope, has taken to sleep whenever she can and talks frequently about suicide to be with her son. I listened to his story, his love for his son, and how he was a special light in this world. His son was autistic and developed leukemia. Him and his wife tried to find a bone marrow donor to save his life, but there isn't a registry in Canada. He solicited citizens to come forward to have a swab taken from their cheek for their DNA to be tested to see if they were for a match for his son. He did all he could to find a donor, but it was not meant to be. When he talks about what he is doing to bring awareness that a donor list is needed, and his face lights up. His son's words echoing in his head that people don't have to die.

Even thought his son did transition without a donor being found, he laid the foundation for his father's work perfectly. I hope his father continues to pursue the public and governmental bodies to make this registry happen. I feel, his son's life wasn't about being saved from leukemia, his son's life was about displaying the need for us to fill another's need. So often, the newly bereaved focus on a life lost, the details surrounding the death, and how they could have prevented it. They can often be full guilt or feel victimized. To gradually move to an understanding that there is a bigger picture at play, can help to move them through the grieving process by realizing there is a reason why traumatic events happen to us.

There are so many reminders of what our life path is for us to notice on a daily basis. Many of these reminders occur because of the workings of spirit. Spirit can include, but not limited to, the ones we loved here on earth that have transitioned to spirit, but also angels and guides and higher light beings. These beings of light help us by leaving clues and gentle reminders to what we need to learn, remember and pursue for our own growth and healing. Every life path is different, but there are threads of commonality of learning and experiential opportunities that can be offered to us and these can be orchestrated in an infinite number of ways. Some common learning themes are: compassion, patience, self-reliance, truth, honesty, balance, self-confidence, self-worth, understanding and knowledge, self-care, caring for another, joy, creativity, kindness, etc.

Now that I am aware of this, I often try to go beyond the obvious situation and find the hidden gem of understanding being offered to me. This can be difficult when you are in the mist of a situation, but with patience, what you need to understand will surface in a number of ways.

Most people are aware that their dreams hold information for them. This can be the easiest way of receiving a message from spirit and your own higher self. The message of the dream can be lost if time isn't taken to ponder on the dream and what it might be trying to tell you. I often suggest to those who are recording their dreams to take special notice of the emotion of the dream. This can be a clue to what emotion your subconscious is trying to express which has been suppressed by your conscious self in your waking state. This can help you to get in touch with what needs to be brought to your awareness and resolved.

In different stages of my grief, I have had dreams of Elizabeth. I know the difference between a visit from her and my own feelings needing expression. If you reflect on what it is you are needing in your waking life a dream can make sense. I often feel the need to hug her and have had many dreams where I am able to fulfill that need.

Emotions, Facing Fear, Healing Journeys


The Council
Through Heather Scavetta
October 18, 2012

This is a personal reading that I would like to share with you, as I feel it contains good messages for many people, HS.


Welcome. We are The Council.

Life is a mystery. For sure there are those who think they understand, who study and call themselves scholars, and yet they fail to grasp the ungraspable. It is as infinate and wide as you can imagine and so much more that your human existence cannot grasp. We see many who struggle with this, wanting to understand everything and many are on personal journeys of understanding the self, in hoping that this will give them a clue to what life is.

You have been born here to live in this limited perspective of your own choosing. This is not to say that you cannot learn, that you cannot love. But set aside what you are pursuing in the hope that it brings you knowledge/wisdom; for all endeavours as you breath in and out, this understanding, is born within you, a knowing that runs so deep that it needs not to be rediscovered, or examined or pursued, for it is who you are and to say that it is simple is true, and yet your true existence in the universe is anything but.

For the wonder of all existence is incomprehensible, is so vast and grand that even, We, continue to learn and expand our knowledge and so, do not stop learning and looking for answers for indeed we understand that this is common in the human experience, but understand too that, a balance of such energies will bring you more of what you seek. And so, look upon your life and see it as a puzzle; different pieces with different shapes that fit together perfectly. Each piece is as important as the next, for without it, the puzzle is not complete. And move away from what you seek in the material world for not all puzzle pieces are thus. For your human emotions are just as important and so don’t discount them, instead honour them as they are your ticket home.

They hold the key.......We could tell you so much more, but we understand that you need to practice with yourself at what works and what does not, what brings you joy and what moves it away. Can we say that your emotions will lead you to where you need to go and so do not surpress them, instead allow them to surface.

You can walk with us. You can feel our strength beside you. You need not think that you are alone for indeed you never are. You may turn your back on events that bring you sorrow, or times when you don’t understand, but can we, gently, encourage you to turn around and face what you do not understand or fear, head on. For as you turn your back on these events, they grow in magnitude, they fester and they become bigger than they truly are. In the dark all kinds of things can happen, but as you turn to face your fears your light shines on the darkness and understanding can come. Even though it may seem frightening, even though it may bring tears, this will help cleanse and bring in new ways of thinking and you will see, that what you have hidden is not as negative as you think. Whatever brings you fear, turn and look at it, feel it, ask for understanding and once that understanding comes, it no longer burdens you, it is no longer something that ways heavy upon you. And in that releasing, you allow new opportunities to come in.

There are other that go with you on this journey of life and they watch and listen and learn, for even though you are having your own personal experience here, you are also teaching others, by your example, they look to you. And so, what is it you want to teach?

Do you have a question?

Q - I do have a fear of energy healing. Any time I receive information, it frightens me and you just mentioned it about facing it head on, so I’ll try to practice that, but it is easier said than done. Do you have any other suggestions when one is connecting to the other side - not to be frightened.

A - You are not alone in your thinking. Do not feel that you lack qualities that are necessary for this endeavour. You may need to understand more about how life works. Do you not realize that we are not separate from one another? Do not be convinced of what your eyes see for this is not the true reality. There are energies that are created, that move. These energies can be weak or they can be strong. If one is working with energy and is fearful of it, then it will be weak and will have little strength to move. You are alive, you are here. You have been created from Life itself. This great power is a part of you and so you have the ability to create and part of creation is moving energy, allowing energy to flow through you, recognizing that you have your own energetic field that can be used and understand that the thoughts that you think are creating energy as well. When you let go of fear, what do you have instead? What has always been there? Perhaps you have covered it up, but as you face your fears you will see something shining underneath. What is this light? What is this power? Is it love? Is it wisdom? Is it strength from another source? All this is yours to discover, but as you embrace your fears and allow these illusions to fall away, for indeed they are illusions, you will see a power so great, so loving, that you will never deny it. You have felt this power before, and so you are not alien to it, but it is a process of trust, trust in yourself, that you can do this, that you have this ability.

It takes great strength to allow oneself to be vulnerable, to feel feelings fully, to feel the pain of others, but in that moment when you connect with another being, you will feel this power present. Start small, do what you know you can do, and move slowly forward as you gain confidence.

Do you have another question?

Q - Can you tell me in which direction to go? I am interested in so many things.

A - You may wish to help another and we understand this need, for indeed there are many like you, for you have known what it is like to work with others and you understand the joy that it brings and so you long for that connection again. It is not a mistake that you are here with your perceived limitations. Instead of focusing on what you cannot do and what you do not have, focus on those positive attributes of the self for you were also given these.

You may not be able to accomplish all that you desire here, but your soul is growing and understanding what it feels like to be you in this time and space, and so even though on a personal level you may feel you are limited, know that your soul is rejoicing. We see so many who fail to understand this. They look to others and see their successes and wonder why it is not theirs. Know that true treasure lives beyond this world and beauty and personal possessions and relationships will fall away, yet your soul is forever and so embrace what you have agreed upon and know that it is perfect in all aspects. It is difficult for those who wish to be healers when they are struggling with healing themselves. It is also, part of the greater picture, for as you heal yourself you understand others and are able to bring through this energy as another cannot. It is okay to feel the emotions that are involved, but if you see life as a continuum, if you see life as Life; that there is no death, then even though an animal may pass away, that their body is no use to them anymore, know that their soul lives, know that in that moment where you touched another, that, is part of the fabric of Life that will sustain Its growth and that, you will always have. There was a great one who walked the earth and cared for the sick and poor. She cried daily, cried with those she tried to help, but in those moments of connection, where their hearts became one, is what healed; is what created a continuum of life, and so do not shy away from these connections, for this is what you seek.

Do you have another question?

Q - My husband is not well, what can I do to help him?

A - Each soul has its own journey. He may not be able to accept your help. You may wish to help, but he is in his own world of understanding. It is best to make yourself available and be willing to accept that his emotions will vary and know that sometimes what he displays is from frustration, from disappointment in the self, from his inabilty to fully express his role, his role as a man. And so, it may hurt him to accept your help, so we advise that you remain open and available, but let him guide you. You have your own strengths, as so does he, and you are helping each other.

There is a time where it is appropriate to concentrate on the self, to work on your own healing and to allow his processes to take place and so spend as much time on the self as you do assisting another for each is important. Allow him to do as much for himself as he can and be there in those times when he cannot as a support. Try not to do for him, allow him to do as much as he can. Celebrate the good in your lives and do not let these perceived limitations limit your joy. It takes great courage to accept a life with limits and so know that you have what it takes to complete this experience. In those times when you feel uncertain, know that we are there supporting you. You may wish to acknowedge the Angels that are with you for they too offer their energies to you. Call on them and they will uplift the situation. We do not take joy in your struggles, but we do take great joy in your successes and this is what we see. This is our focus. We love you dearly. Know that it is forever. God bless you.

Religion vs. Spirituality?


I noticed a theme this past week, of people being conflicted with their religious beliefs and embracing spirituality. I decided to speak in class this week about religion and spirituality.

I think everyone’s journey is different. Everyone draws on different experiences and what it means to them.  I know for me, I was brought up Protestant and my parents really didn’t believe in it, but they would drop us off at Sunday School each week. I wanted to understand the concepts taught, but there wasn’t a lot of good examples that I could relate to my own life. I would listen to the stories and absorb as much as I could understand.

When I met my husband, Tony, he was Catholic and so I went to marriage classes. It didn’t matter to me where we were married, but it did to his family, and so I followed what the protocol was for us to be married in the Catholic church.

When I was pregnant with our twins, I felt a miracle had occurred. There was no doubt in my mind that there is something more to this world, something wonderful and loving, especially when my girls where born. I truly believed in God and brought up the girls to have faith and to respect nature. I started to go to bible study classes and enjoyed hearing these bible stories once again, where I could bring more understanding to them. We had promised to bring our children up Catholic and I liked the idea of the girls having a background and understanding of God and the bible. I too converted and became Catholic myself. 

In the bible classes, I liked the way Catholics take from the bible directly and it really reasonated with me. I feel I have something in my past lives to do with Jesus, whether I was one of his followers or I knew of him at that time, I’m not sure. Over the years, since my daughter’s transition to the spirit world, I have had many experiences with Jesus and Angels. This has helped tremendously with my healing. When there was no one to talk to about my grief, I talked to Him. It brought me comfort and He gave me insight to myself and how to heal. Prayer became important for me. I learnt how to speak from my heart. There have been many interactions with Him, but I will tell you of one.

One night I was in bed, it was dark. I awoke to a glowing gold cross in my room. It glowed like there were thousands of rays of golden light emenating from it. I was in awe of what I was seeing. What do you say to Jesus? Instead I decided to let that go and enjoy the experience. The cross started moving towards me and was getting smaller. It disappeared into my heart. It still brings tears to me and a feeling of humility. How blessed I am! I felt He was telling me that he is in my heart, and so He is. He continues to bring me comfort and guidance and I know he walks with me daily. I am not unique, for He can be with all of us and probably is eventhough we don’t know it.

When my daughter died, I felt that there was a great change coming over my family and myself. I did not know where this new path would lead us, but I had faith that we would survive this and possibly thrive? I felt that hope was important. Although I didn’t understand much, with time the pieces did start to fall into place. This was not without me making a choice to try to live in our new world without our daughter. For me to try for my surviving daughter and try for my husband. To try for myself would come much later.

I decided to set much of my beliefs aside and embrace this new path of spirituality. I was looking for answers and the Catholic religion didn’t satisfy me. The answers lay beyond this world. This I knew.

Along the way, my religious beliefs crept back. Jesus, Angels, God became very important to me and still are. The experiences I’ve had and the visions that were sent to me everyday for three years, confirmed of what I knew to be true. There is more than what we see with our physical eyes, that there is no death and that my child lives and is happy.

It doesn’t  have to be one way or another. It is possible to blend religion and spirituality together. There is a myth that this is not acceptable, but ask someone on the spiritual path and many times they will acknowledge that they walk with Angels and that there is a Creator that is Life itself.

Jewels of Knowledge, Worry, Keeping Yourself Small


The Council
Through Heather Scavetta
For the Wednesday Class
September 12, 2012



Welcome. We are The Council. Each of you wears a disguise for indeed this is not your place of birth. The stars and the heavens were created for you, for this life, for this experience.

Together, we work and decide what is best for you and to expand and bring forth those choices in a way that is both meaningful and advantageous for you. Remember, not all is as it seems, for indeed there are many layers to reality. Some you have come to understand quite well and others remain illusive to you. In time, you will come to know all, but there are ways in which you can open the doors for indeed each of you holds the key to this.

Each of you knows has the answers to all of your questions. The knowing runs deep within you, for if you follow this thread back to its source, you will see that as you were in the beginning so to you will come to that place once again.

Expand what you have come to understand this far. Put into place what you have learnt and do not waste time holding on to these gems and jewels, for they cannot expand on their own, they cannot expand without you. Indeed, you can take these with you to your grave, but why not see what else they hold besides the beauty and colour that you can see. Within them, holds much, but you must be willing to let these jewels shine. Keeping them in a dark place will not serve either the potential or yourself. You may feel that it takes much courage to allow this to happen. Indeed, it takes much courage to allow it not to.

It takes much strength and willpower to downplay yourselves, to keep yourselves small. Do not let others convince you to take with you all your knowledge without sharing. Take the easy road, the road of least resistance and share what you have come to understand and allow others to see all of yourselves.

Do you have a question?

KV- Does Susan have anything to worry about?

Indeed, what one holds close to them can cause them worry and distress. This can be highly individualized for what one may worry about, another may not. Can you offer your   expertise in this area, for indeed you are able to offer calm and rational to another when they themselves may be in a state where they are unable to do this for themselves. Sit with her and allow her to share her feelings with you, for you are able to transmute energies. While worrying about a situation is one perspective, she may need a fresh outlook so that she can look on a situation differently. This may help her to worry less.
She may eventually tire of worry for this indeed drains the energy of one and in time she may come to the realization that it is a fruitless endeavour, but your assistance in this may bring her to this moment sooner. We leave this choice to you both.

Is there another question?

TN- Should I be looking into taking a Life Coach certification course?

We applaud you in striving to learn and understand new modalities for indeed to be able to assist one on their path will not only help them, but help yourself in understanding the ways of life here (Earth). Some people who choose to come to you may derive more comfort from seeing that you have an educational background in this area, but we feel you already know the information that will be presented to you and so you may wish to explore this and it will be beneficial to you, but you do not need this to be an effective leader and to be of help to those who are seeking it.

Thank you.
