In response to a reader’s anxiety and desire to find peace in time of emotional crisis, I have been drawn to share the following message from the guides. This is the first in the ‘Ask Donna’ series.
I write this for many of you because we are in a time where all of us are being forced to face our biggest fears and challenges, a ‘spiritual initiation’, so that we may emerge as our authentic and beautiful selves. It’s all about peeling away what is no longer serving us, whether this is emotions, attitudes, beliefs, people or other things in our lives.
May the following message help you remember your power so you can make your way through these challenging times!

My Dear Ones,
It is you who has the power to ride the emotional wave with grace and finesse.
First you must remember your source because only when you are in a place of connection with your soul, can you receive the answers and insights to help you move out of the stormy waters.
To connect with your true nature, the wise inner one, you must BREATHE.
Do not neglect the power of the breath.
When in a panic and ‘highly strung’, you are barely breathing any life force into you!
Breathe deeply and intentionally to connect with your spirit.
As you exhale, breathe out an audible AHHHHHHHHHH. In through the nose. Out through the mouth… AHHHHHHH.
Ask your spirit helpers to assist you to be calm, centred and to listen to your heart’s truth of the matter. Notice we say “The matter at heart”….not “The matter at mind”. No, the mind is where we become confused because our mind needs to connect with and listen to the HEART to receive the inner wisdom that lies within.
Your truth is always within you.
The second thing we wish for you to know and remember is that YOU are the source of your power. Empowerment is your natural state. You are here to remember your power and life circumstances are beautifully designed to bring these opportunities to recognise your power….to reach deep within and connect with your Source of love, strength and wisdom. Curse these situations but bless them too!
We wish to reassure you, Dear Souls, that you are perfectly in the right place right now, no matter what is happening within you and around you.
Please embrace your opportunities to find your connection and to be the person YOU intended to be.
It’s safe to be travelling along the same ‘old’ path as always. But my Dear Ones of Light and Love, it is YOUR journey, each one of you, to release yourself from the grip of an old society and to become free like the birds.
It’s a seemingly painful transition but it is so much more EASED when you stop fighting against what is happening and just be with the emotions….be with the pain…be with the confusion….be with the anger. Let it happen and let it flow through.
The ‘old you’ would think that you should hold back strong emotions because it’s not the ‘done thing’ to express them. Oh, we wouldn’t want to disrupt the illusion now would we? *smirk*
Where does this old suppression get you Dear Ones? It gets you into stress, heartache and HOSPITAL!
NOW is the time that we wish to introduce you to FEELING emotion and allow this most natural of energies to MOVE through you and to be released. Did you know that you don’t have to try and force the release of emotions if you just acknowledge them and let them be expressed? Emotions naturally move and change, just as ALL energy does if you don’t hold onto it.
The feeling of emotion, and being aware and at ease with it, leads to WISDOM!
So our third wish for you this evening Dear Ones, is that you understand that this is a process of learning to TRUST what IS. Learn to trust that ALL IS WELL in the big picture. As Source or the Divine or whatever expression you call ALL THAT IS, you are perfect and you are loved and supported. So much so.
You are not alone…never ever. As much as you might sometimes wish so! Oh, we joke with you now to lighten the mood a little. This is realistically a hiccup for you Dear Soul.
When you return to your sacred breath and connection within your heart, you KNOW this too.
You KNOW your worth.
You KNOW you are not lost.
You just know.
Your job now is to put into practice your knowing and trust. Surrender yourself to just trusting that the Universe ‘has your back’. It is so!
It’s time to stop running from everything and especially yourself. There’s nowhere to hide now. Your world is showering you with the Light of Truth and you are blessed to be able to have this insight and to be able to walk now in your Truth.
When you release the drama of the old paradigm you will find yourself breathing not so much to release fears and stress, but breathing as a Creator and asking “What can I create today? What is possible today? What would be the most awesomest thing in the world for me to do today?” That is where you are heading.
Now, wouldn’t THAT be nice!!
Trust us, as your Spiritual Support team. But most importantly, TRUST YOU!
Blessings Dear Ones…one and all.

Donna… my grateful appreciation for Spiritual First Aid channel… as I read I wondered how I could say in a comment ‘I allow emotional stress and I have to go to hospital when my heart blows out (races very fast)’ and in the next sentence HOSPITAL was in caps. Right place. Right time. Always. Thanks.
Beautiful. We’ll always be led to what we need. I’m so glad it resonates with you! ♥
I love it when I see something and instantly know I need to go follow where it leads…. and tonight it led me to your words and while reading them one of my favourite spirits and I high fived the truths that you speak of… amazing what happens when you truly know your power. Let the emotions of life come, dance with them, let them sing their song and they flow along surest way I know to stay healthy, happy, brilliantly shiny and full of wisdom for sure.
Peace
