Ask Higg(in)s

Question: Will you describe what a healthy day for a human body would look like?

Higgins: A healthy day for the human body begins with awakening from a refreshing sleep. The body needs air, water and stimulation of the illuminating energy that animates it. We encourage you to begin the day with a few deep breaths and some gentle stretching. Before much time has elapsed consume a glass of water, then enter a longer cycle of stretching and breathing.

Stretching and breathing stimulate the animating life source within and water refreshes the cells.

Next we recommend a small but filling breakfast. While you may choose the foods you like best we encourage tiny portions and fresh fruit, vegetables and grains as a base for all meals.

A healthy day for a human body is inextricably bound with a healthy day for the mind and spirit. We anticipate that from the moment your eyes open your heart will be filled with the happiness that comes from having activities planned that are truly enjoyable and the solid expectation that whatever comes into the day will hold interest for you and be in your best interest. All the days occurrences, whether serendipitous or planned, will fill you with enthusiasm for the moment and stimulate ideas for the future.

Let the healthy day contain a variety of pleasantly strenuous physical exercise as well as a similar pleasantly strenuous exercising of the brain. Interact for some period of time with people whose conversation stimulates your mind or whose company fills your soul. Fill the eyes with beauty and the ears with appealing sound. Look around you with approval and compassion. Stimulate all the senses.

Rotate activities so that in any given week there is much variety.

Sprinkle small nourishing meals throughout the day. Rest when needed. Allow time for relaxation.

With this as a guideline for life go forth making each day as above for this is how life is meant to be. Should you choose an occasional grueling adventure be certain to return to this baseline for refreshment every now and again.

If you will choose this as a template and build your life in this manner you shall surely flourish. Prosperity, good health and satisfying relationships will abound.

Blessings upon you in this great adventure.

Question: Driving down the street today I noticed that shabby dress seems to be the norm, at least in that part of town on that street. Why do so many people seem to not care about their appearance?

Higgins: Friend, we submit to you that it is not about not caring but rather about not having a grander vision.

One must first develop an inner desire to improve their appearance. The appearance then changes, usually over time as the new style emerges.

A secondary factor lies within the human collective. One who appears different often will not be included within the group so making change may be difficult since when one’s appearance changes then one’s surroundings must change also. The ripple effect of changing one’s appearance may alter family dynamics or the dynamics of friendships and that is often lonely for the one making change.

Offering from Higgins:

Each of you has a special gift to share with the world. We often describe this as a spiritual gift. Each of you also has some kind of talent through which to share your gift.

For example, let’s say your special gift is strength and flexibility of the physical body. A person with this gift may be drawn towards ballet, gymnastics or yoga. Ballet, gymnastics and yoga are avenues through which to share this special gift.

For others, the gift you came to share is less obvious. We heard one of you say once, “All I know how to do is love well.” This person’s special gift is her ability to love. Loving persons have many, many avenues to share the love they are yet loving often goes unnoticed as a spiritual gift. Following one’s interests will lead the person who’s gifts are more esoteric towards avenues of expression of their gift.

Expressing your special gift via your special interests will bring happiness, well-being, fulfillment and prosperity. It is well worth the effort to suss out your special gift for it is the Truth of Who You Are and in the expression of it you shall surely flourish.

Question: Regarding your response to the question on playing the game of life, what does it mean to ‘mentally lean’ towards something and how does one do it?

Higgins: Another way to describe the game of life is to say, “You get what you think about.” One mentally leans by thinking about a thing. The greater the emotion that is carried with the thought the faster the arrival of the thing. Remember that often metaphorical versions of your desires show up before the literal desire so be watching for those metaphors. They are signals indicating whether you are leaning in the right direction.

Question: Who and what are we and how do we play the game of life?

Higgins: Humans are eternal beings of light. You are, as all things are, offspring of that which you call God, the same being we describe as The Source of All That Is. You are pure energy. What you are not is your body. Your body is a work of art created especially to house the essence of your being while in physical format. God assisted in creating the human body however artisans actually created the body and God gave it the finishing touches.

Who you are differs from one to the next. Each is a unique individual yet not separate from The Source of All Things, from one another, from the Earth you walk upon or even from the plants and animals that share your planet.

Mankind is designed, as all things are, in the manner of God/Source. That means that you are creators and that you create life experience by exhibiting preference. The game is played by mentally leaning toward the things you prefer. The Universe (God or Source) will then offer you those things abundantly and in myriad forms.

Each of you has complete freedom to create their own life experience so if you choose to lean (mentally) away from those things you prefer then of course, the Universe (God or Source or Allah or Creator/Spirit) will provide whatever it is that you lean toward whether they are things you actually want or not.

The Earth is designed as a place for mankind to flourish. Health and well-being are your birthright. Therefore, if any of you does other than thrive that in itself is a marker that you’ve been mentally leaning away from the things you prefer. At any point in the game you may shift your attention towards that which is desired and it shall surely follow.

One thing to note: the Earth realm is a time/space scenario. Time and space may not be separated one from the other. Some of your creating will come very quickly but much of it flows towards you through quite a bit of time and space.
