These are some of the metaphysical questions that were emailed, texted or otherwise sent to me. Unfortunately there are too many emails monthly, so we cannot answer each and every one. My team and I pick a few questions a month and try to address them under ‘Your Meta-Questions” on the blog.
Q. How do you center yourself when you are preparing to write? I sometimes spend a lot of time trying to figure out where to begin.
A. When I am working with my team, they highlight an incident, conversation, or experience and ask me to write about it.
What would that conversation begin with if you were talking to a friend and you were explaining a concept, incident, etc.?
I try to write like I am talking to someone.
Q. I think I am an empath. Others feelings can affect my own and know when someone is feeling a certain way.
A. Empaths can get overwhelmed with emotions and imbalances from either or both of the living and the non-physical (deceased or other non-physical beings) and the empaths often feel their emotions as if they were their own.
Shielding techniques may help put a buffer between you and everyone else’s thoughts (for telepaths), emotions or imbalances.
Here are some techniques – please adjust and adapt to fit you. Shielding
Q. Reading the past – “remembering” stuff from someone else’s past and feel compelled to share the information with them.
A. The impression I have is that you are picking up on the past life that is most prevalent to the person’s current life.
In other words: we are each working on traumas and baggage from other lifetimes, so we can be aided (if deemed necessary) by “clues” or memories of a past life that most affects or is connected to a life lesson that the person is currently going through.
If you are receptive, you could pick up on that in other people; or, if you are a channeler, the others person’s team (aka guides) or higher self may present the information or flashes to you so you can pass it along (orally or written) to that person.
There is also being a medium, where the person’s deceased loved one wants you to bring up a memory to that person. This can be done for various reasons, some of which might be: the deceased wants their living loved one to know that – though their physical body is gone – they continue to exist; or the deceased can bring messages to help the living heal from their grief.
Q. Dreams – Having dreams warning me of what is going to happen.
A. This can be a touch of precognition (seeing or knowing beforehand). I used to get dreams, flashes and insights on mass exodus’ or traumas, or know an earthquake or other natural disaster was coming. Many years of this kind of got to me, so I spoke with my team and requested that nothing be shown to me if I can’t do anything about it. Now I will receive flashes, dreams, insights if my conscious attention is required.
Our teams (guides) are very important for our growth and they are (in general) habitually consciously under utilized. Don’t be afraid to ask them for guidance, aid, help, direction, etc.
Q. I need help with my abilities (understanding them and perhaps refining them).
A. I recommend finding an instructor in your area for you to work with. I recommend you find someone with a really good reputation (as a lot of questions and a lot of people!). Expect to pay for their time and knowledge. (But not exuberantly priced!)
- Feel free to read the free articles (there are a lot of them!) on this blog.
- Books (what you are drawn to) are a great way to learn as well!
- I have some online courses and talks/intensives
FOR ALL ABILITIES: If any ability is too much, too strong, too loud, etc., please know that you can work on controlling it. For example: Use the knob dial approach.
Visualize a dial knob with the numbers 1 through 10 – with 10 being the biggest, loudest, or most.
When something is too much, visualize turning that dial down to an acceptable level. This does take practice and persistence – keep at it!

Q. This question was posted on the blog, so it is verbatim and answered by Linda Aragon.
“I stumbled upon your website and would like to ask if for example part of your soul contract is to die with cancer. So even if you practice law of attraction thinking happy healthy thoughts every minute of every day, you will still die with cancer? Just like what happened to Jerry Hicks, husband of Esther Hicks who spoke and wrote books about law/power of attraction?”
A. It can never be fully known, as with your example of ‘Cancer’ if such an experience is a Soul Contract or perhaps a result of not taking care of yourself, carrying anger, etc. Looking at illness from a spiritual perspective, it is said often, anger is an underlying component of cancer. Does this mean that everyone that comes down with Cancer, it is always a result of anger? No, we don’t know what that reasons that person is experiencing, nor is it our job to figure it out. That is why it is so very important not to judge another’s path.
Furthermore, soul contracts have been known to be altered. We set them up to balance karma perhaps, to facilitate a lesson, to experience a particular event, etc. It is important to note that free will (an important part of our Earthly experience) trumps all. Let’s take an example of being in an abusive relationship. It may very well be a soul contract. As we grow and evolve and learn to love ourselves, the lesson may be short. You leave the relationship and never will you allow another to abuse you again. Some learn quickly, some do not.
Your reference to Abraham Hicks, who teach about the Law of Attraction is an interesting one. Their teachings focus on the Law of Attraction. Your vibrations attract like vibrations. Or simply put, like attracts like. When you are happy or unhappy, you draw to yourself experiences of equal vibration that perpetuates your happiness or unhappiness. So your question is a valid one…can these teachings and soul contracts both be happening. A resounding – Yes, they can. Vibration plays an important role in both pre-birth planning and healing. Both may be happening. Trying to dissect it though will drive you nuts and we do not need to. A more helpful question to ask is “If I planned this experience before I was born, why would I have done that?” Asking this question empowers you to extract from the experience, an expansion of consciousness you may have sought by planning the experience.
The subject of Soul Contracts AND the Abraham-Hicks teachings are both passionate studies for me. On the subject of Soul Contracts, I highly recommend the reading of Robert Schwartz’s book “Your Souls Plan” (formerly called “Courageous Souls) and his latest release “Your Souls Gift”.
Thank you for your most insightful question. I hope this helps you and others to integrate both the Abraham Teachings and Soul Contracts.
