"Dear Guides" JournalSM
Welcome to the Dear Guides Journal.
We two sisters channel simultaneously each week - Minda through writing and Julie through painting - on a selected topic to see what the guides have to say! We post an excerpt on our weekly I Listen to Spirit Blog, and publish the full channeling through the Dear Guides Journal.
We hope these writings and paintings give you inspiration and an influx of Spirit to brighten your day and help you to hear your own inner voice and pulse.
Bookmark this page to quickly jump to the titles that interest you most. On this page you may also order the complete channelings, subscribe to the Dear Guides Journal, get a sample issue, or submit a question for the guides!
Sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride.

Table of Contents: Find It Quick
Here you can click directly to the blog you want to read. The blog contains the first two or three paragraphs of the channeling. The full channeling is about four (4) pages long. Order the full channelings below.
1. Welcome Message from Guides
Please give us a channeling to welcome all those who come to us or our blog who are calling for channeling guidance. We want those who long to hear your wisdom and guidance to know they have found a home, a place to grow in purpose and divine connection.
Note: This channeling appears in the blog in full, so it is not a journal issue. See also We Welcome You, the first message from Julie and Minda.
2. Doing Things for Yourself
What dynamics would cause me to feel guilty when I want to do something for myself that counters another person's agenda for me?
3. Freedom from a bad situation
Can we just walk out of a situation that we don't like? Or do we need to finish dealing with it first, so that we don't simply re-create the problem later? Is the key that we make a positive choice about what we want, as opposed to a negative choice of what we want to get away from?
4. Disempowered Dreamers
Do you have guidance for all the people who have chosen to fly below the radar of corporate culture to pursue a more positive life, yet find themselves far from abundance, disempowered, and unrealized?
5. Guilt and Joy
What is the function of guilt? (We were laughing that next time we would ask for a better understanding of joy, so the guides answered that as well.)
6. Abundance
Why are so many of the people I know that have chosen the non-corporate lifestyle struggling with abundance? How can we receive abundance without taking on a "salesman" approach to life?
7. Spiritual Unfoldment
Is our work with our guides toward spiritual unfoldment random - does it generate from us, or is it actually more of a coherent plan, like a school?
8. Hopelessness and Tears
How can you help us and comfort us when we feel overwhelmed with hopelessness and tears?
9. Emotional Shutdown
When our emotions turn off or disconnect due to an overload of stress, how do we get back into the flow (considering that our emotions are our guidance system)?
10. Joy
How can we contact the feeling of joy? And how can we enhance that feeling and have more of it?
11. Inner / Outer Contrast
When there seems to be two parts to life - a rich, rewarding inner life and then a very difficult, seemingly unfriendly, rough-with-challenges outer life - how can the outer reflect the inner? Do we want it to match or are we experiencing what we need in this contrasting situation?
12. Attitude of Success
What is the right attitude to assure success in one's most heartfelt, chosen profession? For example, in the nitty gritty details that we face daily, what attitude would ensure that we do the right things at the right times?
13. Embracing Annoying Setbacks
How can we increase the attitude of embracing the surprises and unexpected setbacks of daily life, versus feeling bummed out or overwhelmed or victimized by these unexpected challenges?
14. Solstice Energy
How does the solstice help us to embrace the new and release the old?
How do these physical Earth cycle changes affect us spiritually?
15. The New Economy
What might a new economy look like where money was not the primary motivator, rather people's aspirations and focus of exchange revolve around creativity and service?
16. Art as Channeling
How can we better channel through art? In what state of mind is one channeling when creating art, and what is the alternative?
17. Allowing
Can you tell us more about the process of allowing? How do we allow things to be perfect just the way they are and what role does this letting go play in the manifestation of what we want?
18. Inner Knowing You're Right
Tell us more about the power of knowing, "I am right," within oneself, as opposed to being buffeted by others' opinions and second guessing oneself.
19. Seeking Approval
How can we release the desire for approval?
20. Victimhood
What to do when we feel ourselves moving into the victim role, along with its supporting cast, complaining, blaming and nagging?
21. Feeling Behind in Our Work
How do we break out of the endless cycle of always feeling behind?
22. Opening the Heart
What does it mean to open one's heart? How can we open our hearts - to others, to life/God, to loving ourselves? What value or impact does this have?
23. Performance Anxiety
How can we deal with performance anxiety when we are presenting ourselves or our work and being judged?
24. Relationship Breach
What happens spiritually when there is a breach in a relationship, such as an affair? What are alternative ways to look at it and react to it?
25. Re-Energizing When Fatigued
How can we re-energize when we feel fatigued yet need or want to keep going?
26. Being Okay as We Are
How can we learn to stop trying to prove ourselves, to prove our worth? How can we really get it, that we are divine, okay just the way we are?
27. Authenticity vs. Positivity
Is it valuable to communicate authentically, to acknowledge and share with others the struggles we're going through? If so, how do we do it without creating a negative story? If we stick to only expressing the positive in order to reinforce the positive, are we glossing over the opportunity to learn and grow from our challenges and are we cutting off our human, authentic connection to others?
28. Expressing Oneself in Dialogue
Some people over-express their stories and needs to the point of dominating conversations or relationships. Others hold back and under-express their stories and needs. What are some ways to create a healthy balance in terms of both giving and receiving within a dialogue or a relationship?
29. Voicing Our Dreams
When is it best to keep silent about our aspirations and the secret plans most meaningful to us and when is it time to talk about them, to develop our voice in order to bring our dreams into manifestation?
31. Low Expectations - The doom and gloom failure-prevention system
Some people hold lower expectations so that success is a happy surprise and failure stings less. Does this doom and gloom approach work to ward off bad results?
32. Wanting To Control
How can our tendency to want to make the world better for ourselves by controlling our environment be used in a way that doesn't infringe on our fellow man?
33. Self-Confidence
What is self-confidence? Why are some people less confident? Are there ways to develop the kind of self-confidence that does not rely on having special abilities or proving oneself?
34. The Soul Purpose of Sleep
What is the role of sleep in our lives? How can we reap the most benefit from this period each night? How can this time help us in our waking lives? Can we connect with God, Source, consciously during that time? Really nourish our soul's thirst?
35. Judging Our Service
Can we judge whether we are being of true service by interpreting people's reactions? Or is that the wrong measurement system?
36. Handling Life's Details
When it comes to diligence about everyday responsibilities, procedures and schedules, how is it that some people operate with simplicity, somehow enlisting help or getting by, while others see no alternative but to juggle a multitude of details with great effort?
37. Being With Someone Resistant
What is the best way to handle being with someone who is in a bad mood or who doesn't like us or who is angry with us?
38. Visiting the Elderly
I'm watching my elderly relative go downhill in a nursing home, only perking up when I visit. How important is it that I try to spend more time with her?
39. Death Transition
What happens when we die?
40. Viewing Our Life From Beyond
When we review our life from the other worlds after we die, what will we consider our successes, and what will we deem we could have done better?
41. Why Do We Fail?
When my business failed, was it because I didn't follow my inner guidance; I had a soul lesson to learn, for example about compassion; or I was simply "stupid," lacking common sense or expertise?
42. "Easy" vs. "Hard" Problems
To me, my life feels hard. But compared to others experiencing war, sickness and starvation, it seems easy. Are my struggles as significant spiritually as theirs?
