KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE BEAUTY OF THE LARGER PICTURE,
WHILE REMEMBERING TO LET GO OF THE UGLINESS IN THE SMALL DETAILS.

About Me

My Photo
Yaz Speaks
I am an “Intuitive Empath, Channel and Medium”. I was always effected by the people and the energy around me. This was painful for me until 22 years ago, when I took a meditation class. I had hoped to learn tools to understand and cope with what was called my too sensitive, or too emotional nature. And to find answers to my unexplained psychic experiences, feelings I could not understand or explain, and health problems. I had no idea it would transform me so completely. Changing my awareness from the painful challenge it had always been, to the amazing gifts they are today. My gift of empathy has helped me to create a life and my work based on the principles of "The Secret". I have been teaching those principles in my classes for over 20 years, long before I knew it was a secret. My purpose and intention for this blog is for Yaz my guide to reach others with the wonderful information she imparts about living life as we walk our particular path in life and the choices we make along the way. I also thought it would be helpful to give you a little insight in to what it is like to be a Intuitive Empath Channel and Medium.

Just a note.

Hi there,
Well, as much as my plan was to create a blog that I could write in every few days, That is obviously not happening. My life is not what it needs to be and more importantly neither am I.

A couple of times in my career as a channel, I have showed up to a scheduled Yaz Speaks, only to have Yaz tell me she would not be comming in that evening. She said to me. "No I will not be speaking through you tonight." "You are neither this nor that." She was refering to my transformational life I was living at that time, and how it was affecting me. I was going through a tough time at that juncture of my life, and really had forced myself to show up.

Well, I have tried to do that same thing today with the blog of Yaz Speaks. I know it has been a long time since I have written in it, so I forced myself to start typing away, and then realized it was me processing, not Yaz. So I guess I am neither this nor that once more.

I have often taught through my experiences in my life, always finding that others could learn from my views and see something in it for themselves. However I am usually getting close to the end of whatever I am working on in order to do that. I usually process pretty fast. That is not the case at this time.

I could whine and snivel about my road and the trouble I am having to navagate my way to........ I have no idea where. But that does not apeal to me at all! I want to be able to move on from this place of nothing, and yet everything all together. But it must not be time yet, because here I sit telling you this.

So what do I tell you?
I guess what I am learning.
maybe a list of what I am learning.

1.) I have no control and really never needed it.
2.) Love is the only way to aproach anything.
3.) Ease and flow have to start within me, and so does everything else.
4.) Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and so is everything else.
5.) Holding onto worry, fear, anger, and resentment gets me stuck!
6.) Letting go of all the unnecessary stuff is freeing!
7.) I didn't need all that stuff in the first place, and it is a lot less work not having to care for it.
8.) That I am having to remember what it is like to relax and enjoy free time.
9.) A problem in someone's life, does not create an emergency in mine.
10.) That children are filled with joy until someone takes it away from them.
11.) That I need to take good care of myself everyday.
12.) I need to build my dream exactly the way I want it to be.
13.) There is no life and no joy without a dream.
14.) I need to create love and happiness every day to keep fear out of my life.
15.) To appreciate and interact with my family because they are truly a gift from God.
16.) I can't change their path, I need to walk beside them in love, and get out of the way.
17.) That if you let it, life can take over and you get overwhelmed, so create what you want.
18.) Living with a 2 & 1/2 year old helps me to see as child again, and it is much clearer this time.

Speaking your truth in a harmless way

Hello,

We are here to talk to you about Speaking your truth in a harmless way. It is a great way for a champion to speak in the world. It is important to first think about what you want to say. It is vital use right action rather than reaction. Don't use angry rebuttal to something someone said. Look at their heart and who they are first. Then see if it is possible that you misunderstood. Most people who love you will not try to hurt you. Often it is a peice of missing information that causes upset between people, ask for more information. Tell them you don't understand what they were trying to tell you, because you know they are your friend, and would not try to hurt you, so there must be some missing information.



It is also important to understand that speaking your truth in a harmless way means you have to have opinions of your own, your have to have beleifs that you live by, and you have to be willing to work with someone if they do not understand. For some individuals, asking a question is a way to engage you to get you to victimize them, they live as victims and to engage with these individuals, is a no win situation. They will take everything you say personal, and be hurt as if you truly tried to offend them. This is where you must know yourself! If you are thinking about what you are saying, and there is not intention to hurt or offend the individual you are speaking to. You have to stop the conversation right there! You need to express to them that you care about them, and that you were not speaking of them, it had nothing to do with them. And That it was not your intention to upsent them. If they continue to make you a perpatrator. Then you need to look at the possibility that they may always hear the world through the thinking of a victim. In that case you will not be able to say what you feel without having them react all over the palce. (We have more on the victim perpatrator Savior game in previous blogs.)



No if you are talking to a true friend, and you are both able to have opinions and speak about how you feel to each other, you have a great start! It is important to be a truth teller in your life. People in your life like it too! Once they see where you are comming from. Althouth there are times when they wish you hadn't shared your truth as it made them look at themselves in a manner that was not flattering. But if you tell them in a kind and truthfull manner, with love in your heart. They will begin to look to you if they want an honest opinion. And by the same token they will not ask you if they don't want to hear the truth.



Years ago when people who were shocked at Judi's mother's answer, when she would give them her honest opinion, she would tell them "Well if you want me to lie to you, tell me ahead of time"

Judi likes to use that too. She will often ask people if they really want to hear how she feels about something. This is a great way to let people know that it is going to be an honest answer.



Now how do you speak your truth in a harmless way. You always say I feel like this when this happends.

Example: I get scared when your toaster sparks like that.

Rather than : "You need to get rid of that peace of crud toaster!"



Example: I don't understand, I don't even know your friend enough to form an opinion of her?

Rather than: Are you nuts! Where did you get the crazy idea that I didn't like your friend?



The idea is to speak in I instead of YOU. You want to start your sentences with:

"Wow! Wait just a minute please. That really hurt hurt when the door slammed on my heel."
Instead of "Ouch!" "You made me hurt my heel when you let go of the door!"

"I prefer not to travel on Thursday. Can we choose another day that works for both of us?"
Instead of. "You are driving me crazy with these plans of yours!"

"I'm sorry, I really don't care for outdoor sports."
Instead of "You are nuts, if you think I am going to that football game!"



When you speak in I you are expressing an opinion. You are stating how you feel. Most people can hear that without a problem.

When you speak in YOU It is your opinion of them personally. It can give the person the feeling they are being attacked, and most often they will feel a need to defend themselves.



This is when a conversation can quickly turn into an argument. Or at the least, cause a misunderstanding.



It is not a difficult shift in your communication, however it can make a large differance in how you are understood by others. We hope this has been helpful, and wish you happy communications.

Farewell, Yaz

Hello,


It has been awhile since we have communicated with you, and it is a good time to talk. Life for many is difficult, and often unkind in these times. It is difficult to remain peaceful or to have joy in our hearts and in our step when we are living such challenging times. While others do not have the same issues or challenges . Why is that?


Lifes challenges come to us in cycles, and are sped up or slowed by the urgency we have for learning and for change. Some of us require a lot of lessons and grow at a rapid speed, while others are content to learn the lessons of a lesser learning curve and are happy to maintain what they are working on in this lifetime. Those who are going through the most change loss, have come here in this time frame to enlarge their soul on a very rapid rate to assist with the new way that is comming. "THE NEW WAY?" "What is that?" you may ask. It is the changing of our view of life for our planet. We have been learning about ourselves eachother and the world through fear, Now in this time in the world we are looking at our fears, and they are either overcomming us or we are overcomming them.

For those who are overcoming their fears, THE NEW WAY is to learn about ourselves each other and the world through love. It is strange to think that we have embraced fear for so long that we have difficulty seeing life through the eyes of love. So often we have made our dissions baised on the fear of what people will think of us, or if they will continue to love us. Fear we wil be seen as wrong, less than our piers.


Right now on the planet is is impossible to feel complete freedom to state what we feel in a group setting, or to have our view accepted as our opinion, because there are individuals who will take what we say, from the way they hear us, (their past experiences and hurts) and find us wrong. They will take what we have said, something that is personal to us, that they have taken personal to them and then turned our words so that we are a perpatrator! This makes it very difficult to speak our truth from our heart, because words and intent are put into what we say that we had no intention saying.


We use the example of the young lady who was Miss USA. She was asked a personal question, and gave her answer. She has a right to have a mind and heart of her own. She can have a way of life that works for her. It doesn't have to work for anyone else! It is her life. and she has every right to live it as it needs to be to support her beleifs! Just as the person who asked the question has the right, and so does everyone else have that same right. It use to be that people didn't ask such questions in mixed company let alone on national TV. However the oppertunity to embarras or humiliate, or to make themselves seen as important or to be heard, drives such questions, as well as it does promote change.

These oppertunities give us the option to beleive one of two things.

1. Now when we voice our opinion, it must be so generic that it leaves little room for our personal feelings and truths. So many have decided to be the communication police that freedom of speach is not really a truth. (FEAR BASED CHOICE)

Or 2. that their opinion of our words is just that an opinion. Just as we all have noses, we have opinions. some of them are more pleasant to look at just as some opinions. Everyone has a right to their opinion. ( lOVE BASED CHOICE)

So what do we do about this? How do we handle such harshness from these bullies who nagate our right to our choices, opinions, and lives. Must we have tough skins as to not let their words hurt us? Are we to argue our point? Must we roll over and be a victim and not dare to express ourselves? Well all of those are choices, however we feel that bullies are only powerfull when we fear them. When we give them the power over us. If we treat what they say as just an opinion, they are powerless to hurt us. If we understand that they are very young souls that are trying to gain power so they may use it in an attempt to to gain power. Then we can see them as the young souls they are. They have not had enough life times to be able to see anothers opinion without judgement.

If they take something we have said and turn it around so that it is no longer what we said. Then it is not our words. It is not about us it is about them. We can then see how they see the world by the way they say what they heard out of what we have said. Confusing? Sure it is. That is what is hoped to happen in this game, create confusion. All we must do is stay true to ourselves, and walk our talk, and our truth will be self evedent. It is vital to be our true selves, and to speak our truth in a harmless way, no matter what. Even if we loose something we are striving for because of the way our words are turned around. It is still vital to be true to our word just as the young lady who lost her crown to Miss America did. That may have been a disapointment, however perhaps God has a different plan for her than wearing that crown. Perhaps it was meant for her to become know in order to do what she really came to do here. Perhaps be an author? Only time will tell where this will lead her. It will be interesting to see where this strong young lady will go walking her talk. We hope many will learn from her courage to hold to what she beleives.

We hope many of you will find what your truth is and be strong enough to walk and talk freely!

Farewell, Yazninne

SPEAKING OUR TRUTH IN A HARMLESS WAY COMMING NEXT.

Friday, May 15, 2009

If you are reading this post, you can see it is under construction. I will be changing a lot of the blog, and relating in a different format. I hope to have it up and running the first of July.


Thanks for your interest.

A note from Judi

Hi there,

I want to tell you that I am sorry for the delay in doing the post's on my blog. As many on the planet, I have been going through a purging and clearing of my life, Experiencing the loss that has taken all of my focus and energy. I can not remember such a loss of communication with spirit since I began my spiritual journey over 20 years ago.



I was having great difficulty connecting with Yaz. Doubt came crashing through my door and would not leave no matter what I tried, or what tools I used. That ugly doubt would continue to ooz back in and take over. I couldn't beleive I could not banish the fear that was taking over my life, as I had learned to do in the past. I couldn't reach inward to find that peaceful place within me. I felt so alone and detached for the first time since I have been connected to spirit. All of my childhood fears and unhappy memories came back to taunt me. I felt powerless and unsure of myself again as I did in the years before I found my spiritual path.

Throughout this time I visited life the way I use to live, I relived the way I use to always take everyone elses views or opinions much more seriously than my own. I became that small timid unsure person I had worked so hard to change. I had learned so much to empower myself and be confident. It was difficult to recognize myself at first. My former beingness was so different from who I have become, that it took a while to realize I was acting out of my former self.



It is amazing to me that this happened! But now I understand why. All of those things were still a part of me. They were just just buried deep within me. I had made that part of me wrong and less than valuable. I did not like that part of me I did not respect it, or want any part of it. I now realize that I have to remember who I was, to remain who I have become. That timid part of me helps me just as much as the strength I have found does. It is my balance between the higher me that knows love and the lower me of me that knows fear that assists me in everything I do. I have to know my limitations and what I am capable of equally. Both love and fear have to be visited to find our truth and gain the balance we need to know the choice's and how to make them.



Another part of what was going on with me is, because of the financial situation for the world in general, I wasn't getting very many calls for work, and so that made it even more difficult for me. I have always been able to set myself aside for others no matter what was going on in my life. However in this time, I couldn't even find that part of me. Sure I was able to do reading and channelings, but all of the connection to spirit went away when Yaz, or the client did. I couldn't sustain it. This was a first for me. I always felt spirit around me. Perhaps even taken it for granted as we all can do with what is always there for us. It was such a loss that I was too disconnected to put 2 and 2 together. I floundered around like a fish out of water for months! Lost and lonely without my connection, and still I had not realized what was happening to me.



Then one day last week in my class I told my students what was happening with me. I felt it was important they know that just because you find a connection doesn't mean you are done. Everyone has challenges and you have to work at keeping your connection clear and clean. As I was explaining this to my class, a student and friend said there is a lot of stadic between you and Yaz, and that is why you are not getting the connection you ususlly have. This valadated what I had been feeling, And put words to what I could not espress. That night on the way home, I asked Yaz to help me from her side and I would work form my side to release the static between us. Two days later I was talking to my Channeling partner, and I was telling him about my intention to clear the static between Yaz and myself, and all of a sudden he said he was missing spiritual connection and I said so was I. continued with, "ya know I have always been able to bring in Spirit for everyone else but not for myself." And in that conversation I realized that when I first started my spiritual connection I was in such bliss that I was connected "ON" all the time. after a few years, I found that i was burning myself out not taking a break from reading everything and everyone I could, and learning continuiously. So I decided to take time away from work (and what I now realize) also the connection to spirit in my life. And live my life like everyone else. And to bring spirit when I needed it. Duhaaaa!!!!! Did I bump my head? It all sounded so simple and logical. And it actually worked for a long time. Once in a while when I was having challanges, my friends would ask me Did you ask Yaz? And I would always say jokingly "Now why would I think of that?" Which meant. No I didn't think of that. Looking back at that I actually felt a little agitated when they asked that, but never looked at why. OK! OK! I told you I wasn't living my life with my connection. Sooo.... anyway, the story continues.......



As I was saying I was talking to my Channeling Partner Avelino, and he said he was mising spirit, ( we hadn't been doing our Channeling evening for a couple of months.) And through our conversation we realized that we were doing the same thing. We were both leaving spirit out of our everyday life. We were not doing what we always tell others to do. And we both asked eachother. WHY? and realized that we felt that we somehow didn't deserve it, or that some how we wern't good enough. WOW! the lights went on, and all of a suden we realized that, that is what we asked for. That is the agreement we made with spirit, and Spirit was showing us how it felt. In fact Spirit was doing such a good job, that we truly found ourselves longing for our connection. Isn't it wonderful how Spirit is so loving, they will wait for us to learn and then love us some more for our next step. Their love and support is timeless. We can take as long as we need to get the lessions we came here to learn. Avelino and I both know part of our life lesson is to love our selves as we love others. To give to ourselves as we do to everyone we care about.
Have we learned it yet? Well probably not compleetly, but we heard it on a whole different level. We are working on it. and hope to do some marked improvement very soon.
We humans are meant to bring Spirit into our everyday lives, and live as much heaven as possible. I know I was living hell here the last few months with out my connection to sweet beautiful Holy Spirit. I know I need to bring it in and walk in the world with it for me. And Spirit will be there for me, and when I need it for work it will be there for me then too. We all need to remember that we are Spiritual beings having a human experience, not human beings trying to have a Spiritual experience. Bring Heaven to Earth! What an awesome concept! That would abviously create peace on earth if we were all working on that job!

I hope this has helped you to see into a channels life. It is not that different from everyone else. The bottom line is we all have to learn that trust and love is the only thing that works for us. Fear and control only tightens and restrains us.
I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and A bright and sweet New Year. I wish you the best of Holiday Seasons. Blessings, Judi

Here we go!

Well gang, it is a rough ride, but things are finnaly moving. It may not be those things you would choose, but they are moving. It is a time of caios. of final release, and purging. often we often pack and take a lot more than what we need, this is the time frame where we will see what we no longer need. We are creatures of habit and comfort, it is like us to take a few personal items on the trail to make us feel safe, or comfortable or perhaps it is just what we have always had or done. Either way the load gets heavy as we treck on and we find out that perhaps we didn't need all those extras after all.



It may feel as though time has spead up , well that is the shift we have been telling you about. We were so stagnant, and stuck in fear, but now realize life and love does go on. So we must get back on our journey and get this show on the road. Many of you have lost a great deal in your life lately, and it may feel as though you can't let go of one more thing. Others have a feeling of not being able to let go fast enough. It is different for each individual. However the key word here is simplicity. We must make our lives a lot more simple. There is a longing for quiet time without worry or fear. The stress of our times have left us weary, and low spiritually emotionally and physically. Be sure to take the time to rest, medatate, and just be yourself. Who are you without the fear and stress in your life? If you are not sure, take time to find out!



Things are changing, and it will be a process just as it always is. Just remember to enjoy the ride, you will have much better memories of this time if you do! We always have choices, sometimes it is difficult to see what they are. This can only come if you are being still enough within yourself in the quiet. This is when that connection to the divine can speak to you and give you clairity. There are always choices, you can choose love or fear. Are you clear which you are choosing.

New Beginnings

The new energies are starting. It is going to be a very hetic and troubled time woven with joy excitment and new possibilities. You can always tell when you are on your path by the combination of feelings of terror and excitment. The terror is the old beliefs and programs we live by not wanting to change, and the excitment is our soul knowing we are about to learn to love and grow more.
We have been telling everyone in ear shot for over 15 years that this time was comming. We have said that our Government, schools, medical care, justice system, all of our standards of our foundation were going to crumble and fall. We have never suggested that that would be a bad thing. Just a large and excessively changing times. It had to happen, most of these standards were set in a time of great innocense and in a new beginning of the world as we knew it then. We were a uniting force. We worked together in honesty and hard fought principles to gain our dream of a new life here in this land of the free. It was nessassary to work together to survive. Everyone was equal in this new adventure yeahc individual received exactly what they worked to receive. Those unwilling or unable to do what it took to make it here perrished. Then each generation did what they could to make it better and yes, easier for their next generation. With the goal of building a better place to raise their families it was there legacy from all the hard work and suffering that built this structure. It was inportant to uphold the life they chose when they ventured here to a new world. However with eaiser comes less effort less planning, more care taking. Not that these things are bad either, only when they are not held in balance do they become distructive. When greed and trechery, and lies can get an individual or a group want they want, rather than hard work honesty. Then the structure must make rules to protect those who are lining by the existing standards. the more lies and greed and trechery the more rules. until thsoe rules no longer allow those who uphold the standards the freedom they so strongly support. Soon the rules only work for those who appose them.
