    Body Weight And Spiritual Work

    I have had a battle with my weight since I was 21 years of age and went on the birth pill on the advice of my doctor, whether I should have taken the advice or not has always been a question mark within me. I went from a size 12 - 14 up to a size 24 in three months and basically stayed that way all of my life. I did lose weight a couple of times, and kept it off for a while. My lowest size was twenty years ago when I got down to a size 12 again and kept it off for 6 weeks!

    I had gone through a difficult time with my marriage and had separated for 6 weeks. I had lost weight all year, and decided to go back to my then ex. He told me I was too thin, and I in my effort to be what HE wanted, began eating again a lot of the things I had avoided, which were high in carbs. Within a few months, I was back to a size 24 again. I did not realize then the reason for my weight was the work I was to do. Because for me, to be the Medium/channel I am, it needs for me to carry weight, not so much fat, but water.

    I read recently that Oprah Winfrey is back up to 200 pounds again; and that in a letter to the public, she said how ashamed she feels knowing what she knows, having the awareness she does about nutrition. However, I remembered Pavarotti losing weight and gaining it, and losing and gaining it in the last years of his life. I noticed when he lost weight, his voice did not carry as much power. Oprah Winfrey does not realize it, but she is a channel for spirit. They use her, just like they use me, to bring the words of spirit to the world.

    With Oprah, it is her show "Oprah" which over the last 20+ years has brought the spiritual/metaphysical subjects to the world. For me, it is the Maitreya web site and then of course, this web site as well as all the teaching/readings that I do. Like Oprah I have despaired of my weight over the years, but unlike Oprah and some of my friends, I have not become obsessed with it. Yes I have tried a couple of times to lose weight, but it has not been constant.

    What is the purpose of this writing? It is to let the world know, if you work for spirit, there is a distinct possibility you will put weight on, and also have a problem taking it off. Also, it is not so much fat, as water, and that water is what spirit use as energy to do their work through us on the earth plane. My husband Alan put on 25 pounds within a year of being with me in the beginning. He did not eat any more either, he just put the extra weight on.

    So what if you are thin, does this mean you cannot be a Medium/channel? No it does not. It does mean though that you will not have the staying power in doing the work. In my case, I can work and work and work, Alan says I am like the Ever Ready bunny, which is a type of battery in the USA which they guarantee will run longer than the others. I rarely get tired. My friend in NZ however who is thin, is a brilliant astrologer and channel, but she can only do about 15 readings a week if that, and runs out of energy very quickly.

    People love my energy, just as they did Pavarotti's, and Oprah's. I have never been able to understand it, but recently at a concert Alan and I attended, the woman who sat next to me made comment on my energy and how she could nestle up to me. How warm I was. I know I could not be like that without the body weight. It is that "warmth" which draws people into my energy like flies to a sticky paper.

    Oprah should not be ashamed of her weight, I used to be, but am no longer. Would I like to be a size 14/16, you bet, but I know it is not possible while I work for spirit. I do not advocate that you all go out there and eat to your heart's content. I honestly do not eat a lot of things which are considered the fat person's comfort such as chocolate, candy, cakes, cookies. I do not exercise a lot and that could be the problem, but after a week of working for spirit, I rarely have the energy to do that kind of thing, and if I did, of course it would affect the weight!

    A medical doctor, someone who attends our center and is very interested in the metaphysical, told me the other day she liked me the way I was, and I seemed very healthy (she see's and senses people's energy) I came to the realization I loved myself too. If I lose weight, good and well, if not, too bad. At least I will know spirit can use my body for their work on the earth plane, it is so important, that work.

    If you are carrying weight, do you find that people come up to you and tell you all of their problems? Do you take on people's pain, depression and emotional issues? Do you find yourself starving after doing any kind of work where you help others? If you answered yes to these questions, you can bet you are working for spirit. Many people do, and do not even know it.

    I was told when I was 14 years of age, our health was caused by the state of our mind. If we are happy inside, our body will be happy. I was thinking today of the number of really large people who have lived to long ripe ages, I personally can name at least 10. So MY new year resolution is to be happy, and let my body take care of itself. Of course my Self will not be happy, but then I am not catering to my Self, but to my Higher Self these days. - Go spirit!!

    Read Book Reviews - The Energy of Life

    The Energy of LifeThe Energy of Life by Margaret McElroy is the second edition that was originally published in the year 2000. The second edition of The Energy of Life has been updated and has had some new chapters added. Margaret has had a great many opportunities to learn more about the topic of energy. As Margaret is fond of saying “Life is a school and it’s always in session”.

    The Energy of Life begins with an explanation of the many types of energy.  We all know about energy that is in electricity, fuel for cars, and in many other forms. Few people now about the other types of energy that are also in their daily lives. The other types of energies are of the mind, body, and soul.

    Personal Energy the 2nd chapter is about your own personal power. We are all born with it and can use it; many have forgotten what it is and how to use it. Many in this world do not understand their personal energy or how to use it. Often it is not realized that personal power is connected to the spiritual world. The energy is available to everyone and it comes directly from the Universe.

    There are many people of the earth plane who take our energy from us. They are referred to by Margaret as “Energy Vampires” in the 3rd chapter. Energy Vampires cannot produce their own energy and must find others to supply them with energy. Have you ever been around people that constantly complain and make you feel miserable?

    Margaret talks about negative energy and its amazing powers in chapter four. Our thoughts are energy and negative thoughts use up a great part of our daily energy supply. By becoming aware of negative energy in our lives much of our energy can be saved and used for more positive things such as manifesting and being happier. Negative energy is also in many other forms that we are involved with such as people, places, and things.

    An often overlooked type of energy is sexual energy. In the 5th chapter Margaret says “We were created as sexual beings and were meant to use it on a regular basis”. It is a wonderful energy and many are not aware of how important the sexual energy is. When used correctly, sexual energy can bring back youth and vigor that will increase the life span of us all.

    Chapter six, Other Energies, explains the energies of inanimate objects such as your house, car, or place of work. If these objects do not have the right type of energy they can cause difficulties in your life. Margaret recalls her experiences with neighbors, clearing negative energies within houses. Negative energy can actually seep into inanimate objects causing those around to be effected by this energy in many ways.

    The Energy of Sound chapter seven, Margaret explains how sound can be disruptive or used to assist us in relaxing and healing. Different sounds and types of music effect people in different ways. For some the sounds of a waterfall, running water, or a fountain can be relaxing. Sound is energy that is created either within us by spirit or outside of us in a different form.

    In chapter 8, Past Life Energy, Margaret talks about how we spend 80% of our lives in past life energy. Past life energy is old energy that we are living with today. In each incarnation we bring with us all unfinished business plus our life plan for this life. Together these two energies combine into a powder keg of energy ready to go off, and we are unaware of it. Margaret explains quite a lot about past life energy in this chapter.

    All thought is energy begins the ninth chapter about Positive Energy. Thoughts are just one form of positive energy, Crystals, Affirmations, Aura Soma, Feng Shui, Aromatherapy, Flower Essences, and many other types of positive energies are revealed in this chapter.

    Chapter 10, Energy Channel and Chapter 11 New Energy – New Learning complete The Energies of life. In both chapters Margaret continues her explanation about these energies tells her about her own experiences with these energies and adds some new twists from her latest experiences in her life.

    The Energy of Life is now available in both EBook format and a soft cover version. I truly enjoyed this book from Margaret McElroy and I would recommend it to men, women and children. There  is a great wealth of knowledge and information  to be gained from The Energies of Life.

    Very Optomistic About 2009

    I feel very optimistic about 2009. Despite the economic situation, the forecasts of unemployment, businesses closing, etc., I still feel very optimistic. It was a feeling that came over me the first week in January, as I was watching all the "doom and gloom" on the TV. I suddenly had a warm feeling inside of me and wanted to say "It is not going to be as bad as 2008."

    I do not know why I feel this way, but I do. It is bringing long sought after change to not only the USA, but to so many other countries around the world. Change we need. On many of the radio interviews I have done since the new year, I have stated what I have written above, that I do feel 2009 is the year of change. I also feel it will be the middle of 2010 before we see any change financially in a positive way. Will it still be tough? You betcha! The new President will have his hands full in many area's of government, but he is a man of truth, he has high standards, and he loves the USA so much.

    I have every confidence in him as a leader. I am still an Australian citizen, but I live and am a permanent resident now in the USA. He IS my leader, despite my not being able to vote for him, and my not being a citizen. So much has been written about people wanting to assassinate him, like many Presidents before him, he is open to this, however, I feel he will be so well protected it is unlikely, and even if he were attacked, I feel he will survive. He has already taken one assassination attempt in a past life, he died in that one, as Abraham Lincoln, but this time around, he has to finish off the job he was not able to do as "Honest Abe."

    In Australia they have seen an upsurge in people learning to cook, learning how to make their own clothes, making do, shopping at thrift stores, and cutting down expenses of things they do not need. I can see that happening here also. I went through a recession in 1982. I lost everything I had apart from my furniture, and even then I ended up giving most of it away, as a three bedroom large home, did not fit into a small two bedroom apartment, and nobody wanted to buy it. It was a terrible time for me, I was married and had two children, but I coped. I had never had to go through a time like it before, but it is amazing what one can do if one has to do it. In my case, I had to do it. I could also do it again. I became stronger within myself for doing so. I learned so much during that time.

    We can all do one of two things, feel sorry for ourselves and blame everyone and everything for our troubles and woes, OR, know that there are no accidents, everything is as it should be, cope as best we can, and get on with life. More than anything DO NOT WORRY ABOUT THE FUTURE! The Universe knows what we need and if we allow it to do so, it will bring it into our lives. In 1983, I had one dress to my name and a pair of slippers. I had lost nearly all I held dear. As far as I was concerned God had let me down, there was no God. However, God chose to show me so many things that year, he showed me I COULD cope, I could feed a family of four on a quarter of what I had spent and everyone was spending per week on their grocery costs. God chose to show me how little I really needed in my life. He also showed me I had a lot of pride, as people came forward to assist me and I had to let go of pride and accept that help. I learned so much and more during that whole experience.

    Today, I am a woman of means as one would put it. I have security financially, a beautiful home, a wonderful career, an incredible husband. I am at peace in my life. However, I would not be where I am today without that 1983 experience. It taught me not to live on credit, and to this day, although I have a credit card, I pay it off every month. It allowed me to see that living in debt is not the place for me. One cannot save or move forward if one is steeped in debt, paying off accounts one should not have bought in the first place.
    I have come a long way since 1983. A long, long way. However I have not forgotten anything I learned during that time, and I hope I never will. However, if I can get through a time like that, than anyone can. For me I turned it into an adventure. It can either be an adventure or it can be a disaster. If you are the same as I was all those years ago, what do you want it to be?

    Born To Be A Channel

    Born To Be A ChannelBorn to Be a Channel is an autobiography written by Margaret McElroy, one the most respected Clairvoyants, Psychics, Past Life Regression Therapists, Astrologers, and Deep Trance Channels. As Margaret tells the story of the unexpected experiences that shaped and affected her life, you will be profoundly moved.  Follow along with Margaret on the amazing journey from housewife to the realization of her destiny.

    Margaret McElroy has instilled loyalty from thousands around the world because of her enthusiasm and no nonsense attitude toward the Metaphysical world. You will benefit from both the stories and the teachings found within the pages of Born to Be a Channel.

    The aim of Born to Be a Channel is to explain the misunderstandings about Metaphysics and to show how Astrology and Past Life Regression Therapy can help you overcome the Self to achieve Peace, contentment, and success.

    Margaret is very well aware that everything that happens in our life is for a reason. Though many experiences were not always pleasant, Margaret feels that valuable lessons from each person and experience were very important for her growth. Each lesson allowed Margaret to move forward on her spiritual journey.

    Born to be a Channel begins in Margaret’s childhood town of Bulwell, Nottingham where Margaret grew up in a deeply emotional household. Her parents constantly fought about things, during this time Margaret would spend a lot of time in her room alone experiencing the spirit world. The constant fighting of her parents had a lasting effect on Margaret life.

    Margaret’s first marriage was at the age of 22.  After being married for a short while Margaret’s husband was to leave for military exercises in Cypress. Before her husband left they conceived their first child. Margaret’s fist husband would be gone for months at a time. During this time Margaret could feel a presence following her in their house, a fear that Margaret would have to face.

    Margaret McElroy has lived abroad in many countries during her life. Her first new country was Germany, where her first husband was stationed. During the time in Germany Margaret began to experience her intuitive abilities that she would try deny for many years. As the word spread about Margaret many people came to her for readings. Eventually Margaret would acknowledge her Psychic abilities.

    In 1974 Margaret immigrated to Australia with 300 pounds, 5 suitcases of clothes, and a few toys for her two children. Life in Australia was difficult in the beginning. Margaret began working at a radio station as fill-in for a talk show host. As Margaret became more popular her marriage became increasingly difficult. Eventually Margaret’s first marriage would end in divorce.

    During the recession of the 70’s in Australia Margaret had what she calls a Psychic awakening. Margaret began to have psychic feelings about a lot of things happening in her life and strong intuition about people around her. Also during this time Margaret’s clairvoyant abilities emerged.

    After the loss of Margaret’s mother, Margaret began to study with two mediumistic teachers. At first Margaret was afraid of seeing something horrible in the spiritual world. As Margaret faced these fears a whole new world opened up for her.  After taking the mediumistic class Margaret began doing clairvoyant readings. It would take some time to make money from this.

    During this time Margaret met her second husband who would talk about the Ascended Masters. This began the path for Margaret to begin channeling. Today Margaret channels two spirits one named Sister and the Ascended Master know as Maitreya.

    Margaret is now married to her third husband Alan; together they along with others run the Maitreya Seattle Healing & Learning Center in Redmond, WA. Margaret now teaches workshops, channels, gives past life readings, astrology readings and other services to those who are attracted to her energy.

    , boo

    I enjoyed Born to Be a Channel quite a lot; I could not put the book down. I finished the book in a weekend.  I learned quite a bit about Margaret McElroy and the spiritual world because of this book. I would recommend buying “Born to Be a Channel” in the Ebook version.  A soft cover version is also available.

    What A Thrill

    It was an incredible feeling on Saturday, February 23rd, to do a talk at our Maitreya Seattle Center and see almost standing room only! Alan and I worked so hard, along with our staff, to make the center as warm and as accessible as possible, and to have those who attended make such positive comments about it just made it all worthwhile. The emails after the event and the comments from a form we asked those who attended to fill out also made what we did even more worthwhile.

    For me, this was the second time I have been in this position. In 2003, I stood in a similar center on the top of Tamborine Mountain in Queensland, Australia, and did a deep trance channel to a large group of people, never realizing that in 5 year’s time I would not only be doing it in Seattle, but also living there.

    It has been a long road to get me to where I am now on my path, and one that has been rocky to say the least. Not only did I have my own Self to deal with — and that Self did not want to go the way my Higher Self wanted to go — but also other people who told me, first, that I could not do it, and then when I did, that it would not last!

    Our event on the 23rd was an incredible evening, and the energy of those who came to assist me from the spirit world was also incredible. I find it very difficult to reclaim the energy if I stop for a break, so I talked for three hours straight. Many people couldn’t believe how I could do that. It is very difficult talking to people about the energy, and how important it is NOT to break it. The work it does on each and every soul in the room and even outside is halved by stopping its flow for a break.

    The comments after the evening were so wonderful, and I have had so many emails from those who attended informing me of the transformation in their lives because of the talk I gave. I feel that finally I have “paid my dues” so to speak. I had so much karma when I came into this life which I chose to repay through building the centers in Australia and in Seattle for the energy I channel, Maitreya.

    Alan and I are now planning similar talks around the USA and — all being well after our trip overseas in March/April 2008 — we will be able to start that adventure. I sometimes have to pinch myself because I would never have imagined that I would live in the USA, never mind work there full-time and actually be married to the most wonderful man who is a US citizen. One friend told me a long time ago, “It is like a fairy tale isn't it?” and I had to admit it is.

    My friends in the world of spirit do not put you where you need to be without a reason, and at this time of change in the USA — so huge, one can almost feel it — I know that I have a bigger path ahead of me. As yet, however, I don’t know how it will come into effect. For now, I just follow instructions from them and, after a huge battle between the Self and my Higher Self, I finally feel at peace with what is happening.

    Each month I will be doing a newsletter on some aspect of my life, and I hope you will log on each month and read the latest adventure. It is wonderful after so long channeling to actually have my own website and to have free reign with what I write and do with it. I honestly never thought I would get there, but I am proof that you can get there. I am so looking forward to the next chapter of my life, and to sharing that experience not only with those around me, but also with you very lovely people.

    Simple Guide to the Psychic

    The Simple Guide to the PsychicThe Simple Guide to the Psychic by Margaret McElroy is about the different facets of the psychic world. Topics include Reincarnation and Past Life, Death and Beyond, Spirit Guides and Helpers, Auras, Dreams, Spiritual Healing, Crystals, Pyramids, Channeling, Astrology and Margaret's own observations.

    Reincarnation and Past Life is the belief that our soul has returned to the earth many times, and that our current life is affected by these past lives. Margaret reveals many of her past lives and shares some the interesting stories of people that she has encountered through her work as a past life therapist.


    Margaret says she has been asked many times "what it is like to die". The chapter about Death and Beyond Spirit Guide and Helpers explains this phenomenon what happens after we cross over to the other side and the spirit guides that come to assist us in going towards the light. I especially enjoyed this chapter.


    Auras in Margaret's words are "electromagnetic energy that comes out of the body in waves". Margaret being clairvoyant is able to see these waves and can gives people what she calls readings about their auras. Margaret explains about the different colors of auras and their interpretation.


    Spiritual Healing receives its name because the healing comes from spirit. Spiritual healing can come from within the body or from outside the body. Margaret uses spiritual healing that comes from outside the body. She uses her guides and allows them to lead her to where the healing is needed. This chapter contains many details about spiritual healing, interesting stories and experiences from Margaret McElroy's life.


    In the chapter about Crystals, Margaret goes into great detail explaining the different types of healing crystals and their uses. I learned a lot about crystals and Margaret is obviously very informed about this subject. Often people condemn or ridicule the use of crystals before experiencing their healing powers.


    Margaret used to not believe in pyramids until one day she put a glass of ordinary tap water under a pyramid for one hour and then tasted the water. The water tasted sweeter, more pure and softer. Margaret has since then learned a lot about pyramids and shares the many uses for pyramids. A lot of very interesting reading about pyramids is contained in this chapter.


    Margaret McElroy is the deep trance channel for the Ascended Master Maitreya. In this chapter Margaret explains what a channel is how the spirit world enters her body and actually communicates through her. I am very fascinated about channeling, this is a favorite subject that I enjoy reading about. Guide to the Psychic helped me understand and learn quite a lot.


    Margaret McElroy enjoys Astrology and prefers what she calls "Spiritual Astrology". Many resources are given to help anyone interested in learning about Astrology. Birth charts are explained in some detail. Margaret recommends finding a good Astrologer and having an Astrology chart done.

     

    Simple Guide to the Psychic by Margaret McElroy is available in both soft cover and EBook versions. The soft cover version sells for $14.95 and the EBook version of The Simple Guide to the Psychic sells for $7.99. The book contains 8 chapters and 116 easy to read pages. I would recommend the EBook version because, the shipping and handling charges for the soft cover version of the book runs about $4.95 making the total around $20. The EBook is cheaper and available instantly by download.
