The Most Recent "Channeling From Higher Realms"
The most recent channeling from Marilyn Redmond, “Channeling From Higher Realms” is now available for you viewing pleasure and information. This time the sections of the channeling make it easier to hear just the part that is of your interest. Part One is the beginning of this session with Martha, her gatekeeper, introducing John, The Divine. She explains her function in helping Marilyn stay safe while channeling. Moreover, she introduces John who then begins his information for questions from those in the audience. Usually, the information is generic and helpful to others. One question is about an angel appearing for help to protect his bicycle. Another question was about publishing a book. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kN0ULWa9G8
Part Two offers powerful information from St. Germain explaining “consciousness”. Often this is a misunderstood term. Changing your consciousness to sending out love will change you and your reality. It is moving lower energy into a higher loving energy. This is often called ascension. He said, “When you remove everything unloving, love is all that is left”.
This is also called Christ consciousness. As you change the energy of the earth is changing. As the earth moves into higher vibrations it is raising your energy, the earth is the macro and you are the micro. Love is in the giving, from an open heart. Spirit flows away to manifest out to become your prosperity and abundance. You do create your own reality. In Fifth Dimension, you will find that God’s grace is sufficient and your needs will be supplied from an unlimited spirit of God. He explains the biggest change coming.
In Part, Three St Germain ends his information. He explains becoming a creator in your life. Grace is bringing you home to Christ consciousness. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DF-sl3yp49Y
Archangel Ariel follows with a wonderful exercise for shifting and clearing old energy no longer sustainable currently in a higher dimension. She guides people through visualization to help clean emotional residue of shame, bitterness, grief, or guilt. She has the people see themselves in a spa where the tar type energy that sticks and influences your consciousness form shame and guilt. You are lead through a cleansing of “your” old deep fearful emotions for a purification of your energy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AdVojgx8siE
More people are watching these channelings. If you go back to the early channelings, you will find they are in progression for your growth in steps. Each session has a topic that is necessary for more information to progress into a higher dimension with the goal of unconditional love. Each channeling ends with an exercise to release the old energy beyond the past fears and traumas.
Marilyn is dedicated to helping people enjoy life. She provides understanding of how you can improve and grow in your spiritual journey.

New Understanding for Health Issues
Previously Posted by Marilyn Redmond on December 13, 2013 at Daybook.com
What is Holistic Health? Listen to Marilyn Redmond’s latest interview on You Tube as she answers your questions about Holistic Health during her interview on “The Holistic Health Show” with host Dr. Carl Helvie.
Marilyn Redmond, BA, CHT, IBRT, talks from her almost thirty years of experience, insight, and knowledge. Applying these methods saved her life. Holistic Health information offers new understanding for health issues from a different point of view than traditional protocol.
Like tuning up your car, we need to keep our body in attunement. Sickness comes from an imbalance in our body; it is a signal that something is not in tune. Prescription drugs, drinking, smoking, or other methods stop the feelings that provide a message that signals dis-ease or pain. Drugging our symptoms has many side effects as cloudy, irrational thinking to creating addictions, eventually possible death. The side effects may become worse than the illness. Often the dis-ease grows into a disease that has a medical label.
Marilyn shares what influenced her to embrace new beliefs about health. She talks about the history and dynamics of holistic health. She discusses Edgar Cayce, the Father of Holistic Health and Dr. Albert Schweitzer. She talks about methods that support holistic health like regression to find the root cause and energy raising techniques as flower essences.
Dr. Edward Bach spent his life searching for the purest methods of healing. “Health is our heritage, our right. It is the complete and full union between soul, and mind and body; and this is not a difficult far-away ideal to attain, but one so easy and natural that many of us have overlooked it.”
A personal remedy focuses on your specific circumstances. The essences transform attitudes stimulating your potential for self-healing and freeing the physical system to engage fully in fighting disease and stress. Flower essences are used worldwide because they are non- toxic, not harmful, are non-addictive, have no side effects, and can be taken alongside medication or to replace them.
Accessing a higher energy, as inferred by Albert Einstein, to heal a problem is found in meditation. Identifying the cause of the medical, emotional, or relationship condition is the key to resolving the malady. The body will restore itself to health. The physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of a person are addressed for balance and harmony. When the origin is determined and healed, there are no symptoms to medicate or often no need for surgery. The client can return to wholeness and health.
Today, more people understand that disease is the result of a variance between our spiritual and mortal selves. Health and happiness result from being in balance and harmony with our own nature and doing the work for which we are individually suited.
Marilyn Redmond, BA, CHT, IBRT. Holistic Health Counselor, Speaker, ordained minister for spiritual healing, and in Manchester’s Who’s Who for healing emotional causes of illness.
She is a member of the American Board of Hypnotherapy, International Board of Regression Therapy, and Edgar Cayce’s Association for Research and Enlightenment.

Medications do not Heal Alcoholism
Previously Posted by Marilyn Redmond on December 22, 2013 at Daybook.com
The cause of any addiction is fear, not knowing how to love yourself, and running from reality by using a substance or behavior to distract yourself from reality. You remain an emotional child without living tools. Therefore, alcohol can easily cause addiction as a way not to feel. Looking for anything outside of ourselves to save us is the problem. We are looking for love in all the wrong places.
I stopped drinking 28 years ago, and all prescriptions over 12 years ago. After stopping drinking, I found I craved sugar; sugar is in alcohol and is toxic to the body. However, the real root cause of all my addictions have been living in the fear, guilt, and shame from my growing up in domestic violence, abuse, incest and being in a 30-year marriage of battering-abuse, and rape. I was as sick as my secrets.
When I found recovery, which means moving out of the old emotional drama for which I am reacting through healing “their source and replacing it with love for others and myself”. I am living in the NOW, or presence of God and the past has no more power over me. I have found I have no need to continue covering my negative feelings with any substance, new addiction, or activity. One of the new commandments is to love my neighbor as myself.
I am emotionally free to feel my experiences in the current moment and no longer stuff the feelings of the past. I have become emotionally available and mature. Addiction is but a symptom of something deeper. That deeper problem is listening to our ego that tells us we are separated from God, which if I am a child of God could never happen. It is time for people to go beyond the symptoms into the cause. It is time to change the cause and get different results. It is time to say, Satan get thee behind me.
The “Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous” states on page 25 states, "That God has entered into our hearts, and lives in a way which is miraculous.” We are filled with the love of God that saves us from searching for love outside of ourselves. Any man made substance of the material world is not of God. However, God is always present if we release the barriers of emotional pain.
On p55, it states, “Actually we were fooling ourselves for deep down in every man, woman, and child is the fundamental idea of God. It may be obscured by calamity, by pomp, by worship or other things, but in some form or other, it is there. For faith in a Power greater than ourselves, and miraculous demonstrations of that power in human lives, are facts as old as man himself. We finally saw that faith I some kind of God was a part of our make-up…”
It is all about healing our negative emotions of fear, separations from God, and our karma. The Big Book…states on p. 66 “for when harboring such feelings we shut ourselves off from the sunlight of the spirit”. On p. 64 it states, “When the spiritual malady is overcome, we straighten out mentally and physically.” And on page 63, “ As we felt new power flow in we enjoy peace of mind as we discovered we could face life successfully, as we become conscious of His presence we bean to lose our fear of today, tomorrow or the hereafter. We were reborn.” We return to the love within. Drugs of any sort stop this emotional connection, I found. I could not emotionally mature on drugs for my Bipolar Disorder, depression or any other medical label.
As an internationally board certified regression therapist, my counseling includes regression to heal the root cause of where the fear, trauma, or drama creates a fearful reaction, so the love of God can heal this and resolve it. When offering loving responses to people, places and things around us, there are no symptoms to drug or stuff with any substance. It is about raising the fearful energy vibrations of a person into the love of God.
Even Einstein said you cannot solve a problem on the same level of which it was created you need a higher power. Substituting a new medication still lowers the energy and is superficial as the problem is still there only medicated with a different toxic, poisonous substance called medication. One day, God said to me, “You are not going to trust that pill instead of me for your healthiness”. Medications are only a substitution for the “Real Thing”.
The Serenity Pray asks to change the things we can, and that is changing ourselves into God-based instead of fear-based people. Our sufficiency comes from God, it says in the Bible. Why do people look for human means for recovery? Why does society and medicine support man made solutions, material answers, instead of God’s grace to heal people? Life is about returning to God. We move from being in dis-ease into being at ease in the presence of God’s love.
I quote Edgar Cayce, in my forthcoming book “Paradigm Busters, Reveal the Real You” when he says, The Christ Consciousness…is the only source of healing for a physical or mental body. Edgar Cayce 60-4. The Bible says, "If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature. II Corinthians 5:17.
I have become that new creature healing nine addictions, depression, mental illness, domestic violence, arthritis, hypoglycemia, Fibromyalgia, PTSD, and more through following the 12 steps of AA, Alanon, Edgar Cayce’s Search for God Study Groups, and energy work that raises me into the unconditional love of God. I have been in a relationship for over 12 years that has never been harmful, abusive, or threatening. I changed inside and have attracted another loving person. I am what I attract; we have a relationship of unconditional love.
When we sow what we want to reap, our reality changes. This is the universal law of “Like Attracts Like”, or what goes around comes around. Until I was off all medications, I could not have a spiritual life. Drugs do not allow my moving into reality, God’s love does. I am a new being “embracing God’s love within and sharing it” with others. It is an inside job. The Father and I are one.

Changing Suicide to a Healthy Resolution
Previously Posted by Marilyn Redmond on January 12, 2014 at Daybook.com
About 22 veterans a day take their own life, according to department estimates. It was recently released by the government, that the number of young veterans committing suicide jumped dramatically from 2009 to 2011; this is a worrying trend that Veterans Affairs officials hope can be reversed. Nevertheless, new suicide data released by the department showed that the rate of all veterans’ suicide remained largely unchanged over that three-year period, the latest for which statistics are available.
I observe that most therapists are not really trained in the emotional causes of suicide and how to reframe the fear into healthy emotions that feel good. I tried suicide and my husband tried to kill me multiple times. I would consider this close to living in a war zone. Domestic Violence or any kind of violence including war creates fear and trauma in the emotional system of a person. When a person feels fearful, hopeless, and helpless in their life they are going to hurt someone to project their pain out, called homicide, or they will hurt themselves called suicide. I am now a counselor and understand this dilemma from personal experiences.
It is about changing their energy into higher comfortable feelings with a sense of worth. Being is hell is not a great place to be. It is possible to release those feelings, however most people are without any tools for improving their emotional state of mind. It is not possible without appropriate help. Many will try some form of killing themselves to relieve their agony and suffering. Most common ways to escape reality are with addictions, alcoholism, or other means to numb out and not be emotionally alive. This usually culminates with the ultimate successful suicide attempt, which is a death wish. Actually, alcohol, prescriptions, or any drugs reinforce the self-destructive feelings to deeper negative intensity over time. The solution is not about drugging a person with a prescription, which is what often happens in current medical protocol.
It takes a choice to live or die. If you choose to find a loving solution to resolve this traumatic picture and provide hope and appropriate help, it is possible to raise your feelings into a healthier consciousness. Sadly, most agencies are not equipped to do this or the stigma of going for help is shameful. Therapeutic Regression is a productive solution with a competent therapist who can reframe the drama into a healthy, most constructive and positive solution along with meditation. This will retrieve good feelings and restore a healthy mind set.

Drug Addiction, Prescription Addiction, and Alcoholism: A New Understanding
Previously Posted by Marilyn Redmond on January 23, 2014 at 5:33pm
Prescription drugs are not different than street drugs. It is an arbitrary judgment to convince people there is a reason to criminalize the use of drugs. Laws do not really make one drug better or worse, as a drug is a drug, no matter how you label it. Did you know that Coca Cola had Cocaine in it and was legal years ago? Morphine was legal at one time, too. They all are toxic and poisonous to the body and lead to death or insanity over time. Laws are a way for some people to monopolize the profits. Doctors could be said to be legal drug pushers. The drug companies in this case reap the profit.
The addiction is a result of a craving in the body and lack of self-worth fueled by fear. This is not a punishable crime but a reason to find appropriate help through counselors that understand this disease. Addicted people are not bad people, but sick people needing to get well.
For years, I was addicted at various times to Valium, Zoloft, and Depakote. The doctor said I had anxiety, later he said I was depressed, and then he declared that I had Bipolar Disorder. I found myself in treatment for alcoholism discovering 12 step programs. Recovery of 28 years has given me wisdom and insights into prescription drug addiction and alcoholism. I did not consciously know that I was maladjusted to life, in full flight from reality, or was mentally malfunctioning.
I know today that if alcoholism runs in the family you are set up for addiction. Liquid alcohol or pills are chemically the same in the metabolism of your body; it is genetic. In treatment, they told me one pill and one drink is six times the effect. I could have liquid courage and use pills to feel comfortable in a crowd. Therefore, I did not have to drink as much, but they still stuffed my feelings.
Living in domestic violence with a childhood of sexual abuse and being married thirty years in a battering and abusive marriage of rape, was dysfunctional. My father was an alcoholic and my mother was paranoid schizophrenic addicted to prescription drugs. I was a sitting duck for addiction, as I never lived in reality at home. I did not know that I was not functioning normally, however, I never felt right in my home of alcoholism and mental illness along with sex addiction and rageaholics.
Today I know it is all about fear while I am trying to be normal in crazy circumstances. The answer was to become as honest as I could in every part of my life, for reality to come in. I was looking for that love in all the wrong places, especially my family and later a husband. In addition, releasing the fears, guilt, and shame through the 12 steps and counseling, allowed me to find the inner love that I wanted.
When my spiritual malady was overcome, I straightened out mentally and physically, even emotionally, I found. This dis-ease has transformed into peace, love, and contentment through years of changing my attitudes, thinking, and behavior from the social conditioning of fears, guilt, and humiliation.
I have even released the energy of my mother’s paranoid schizophrenia, which I have been told is the first time someone has recovered from this, into reality remaining drug free. I am liberated from past abuse, fear and lack of self-worth. I live in the “Now” or moment where there is only love from my Creator. I can be myself, have my own feelings to express, and am happy, joyous and free of any toxic means that promote running from reality and stuffing my feelings. My forthcoming book, “Paradigm Busters, Reveal the Real You” shares the steps to freedom.
Promoting reality and wellbeing by bringing insights, information, and understanding to current issues not usually addressed by the media is my mission. Going beyond the misinformation, or biased news reporting, I write from experience, facts, and hidden truths. I am an award winning international writer, syndicated columnist, consultant, counselor, and speaker who shares the dynamics of life through my recovery from numerous addictions, mental illness, domestic violence, PDST and more.

Prescription drugs are not different than street drugs. It is an arbitrary judgment to convince people there is a reason to criminalize the use of drugs. Laws do not really make one drug better or worse, as a drug is a drug, no matter how you label it. Did you know that Coca Cola had Cocaine in it and was legal years ago?

Innovative Information Now Available on You Tube
Previously Posted by Marilyn Redmond on February 4, 2014 at Daybook.com
Current information for raising your consciousness into a higher realization that brings benefits in your life is now on You Tube with Marilyn Redmond, a psychic/medium. She has been channeling for several years bringing information for enhancing your life. The voices she channels offer cutting edge information beyond common knowledge. This understanding supersedes opinions, books, and dogma. Marilyn is trained in spiritual counseling and is an internationally board certified regression therapist, IBRT. She is also an international author, speaker, consultant, and columnist.
The main voice she channels is John, The Divine. However, other ascended masters including St. Germaine have given many messages. In addition, Archangels Michael and Ariel come in for messages and healing exercises. On occasion, Mother Mary has provided loving insights. Each year at Christmas Jesus talks to those present with individual messages of comfort.
John, The Divine, answers spiritual questions of those attending the monthly gatherings. The answers are universal and benefit many. In this session, participants offer gratitude to John, for the help that has been offered in the past, sharing the benefits of their improved relationships and lives. The discussion about alkaline water and diet is important for all to hear. Other questions include bringing balance into your life. Information about “grounding” is explained. Changing your focus about finances is discussed. Making decisions and changing them is also talked about. The focal point in this meeting changes to talking to those passed over to the other side. Several attendees have concerns about people on the other side relating to current troubles.
Then John proceeds to the main message that is title, “God’s Grace is Sufficient”. Moving out of the third dimension of the physically manifested world needs to transform into the reality of what is invisible but real. Third dimension is no longer sustainable. John says it is necessary to move your faith into higher consciousness because it is the real solution. Several true stories illustrate his point that explain the third dimensional thinking versus the fifth dimension based in love, are shared. This brings heaven to earth where the energy of spirit provides for a prosperous, abundant life of unconditional love.
Marilyn continues to stay current in her research and activities to promote reality and wellbeing. She has many interviews, lectures and channelings on You Tube. Recently, she was on You Tube for her information about recovery from people who use mind control at talkstorytv.com. Talk Story TV will interview her again as an expert on domestic violence this month.
In addition, Marilyn writes with authority and understanding not textbook answers that are academic and ineffective.

In addition, she has healed a life of domestic violence and relationship issues, and more.

I Found Myself in Al-anon
Previousy Posted by Marilyn Redmond on February 4, 2014 at Daybook.com
I found Al-anon through a devastating crisis. My husband ended up in AA after he drove us home in a traumatic car ride. We had been on vacation after his not drinking for three weeks. This trip was to celebrate his abstinence. However, before dinner our last evening he decided to have a drink during “Happy Hour”. This resulted in the pleasant times disintegrating into a disaster within a short time.
He got displeased, when I was getting ready for dinner and would not let go of his rage. We had an upsetting dinner, embarrassing me at the meal. I went back to our room to start packing to go home. This further infuriated him. Our trip home from the Canadian resort turned into a terrifying experience. I found myself knowing that I would not return home alive. He drove all over the road and down the middle very fast. I found myself praying to God for help. “I really don’t want to die, God, please help me,” I said inwardly. I had not been taught to ask God for help or to pray other than what was written in the hymnal at church at that time. Spontaneously, I knew I needed help. My instinct took over without one thought about requesting assistance.
For my safety I separated from my husband, filed a restraining order and divorce papers. He called me on my birthday, which was against the restraining order. “You are not supposed to call me, I said .” Then just listen”, he responded. “I have been going to AA and I heard that good wives of alcoholics go to Al-anon.” Being the good wife, I went to my first meeting of Al-anon on July 15, 1985. It was the best birthday present I could have received.
With over 28 years in the program, I now have a beautiful life. I have diligently worked the steps to release my insecurity, feelings of not being good enough or safe. My abandonment issues are resolved. These all stemmed from my childhood. I had discounted the shame and guilt that were running my life, because I had no feelings. Through working the steps, I discovered that I had married a person with the same qualities I had. I had attracted the perfect person to reflect back to me the dysfunction within which I was raised.
At meetings, I first heard the suggestion to Trust God, Clean House, and Help Others. Today, this is still my focus; I have healed the root causes of my feeling like a victim, wounded, and abused. Another saying was that I could give up being a victim anytime. I had blamed my husband as the problem in our marriage, when I had to realize that I was projecting my personality onto him; he was my mirror. It was like a boomerang, returning, painfully.
I learned to pray for him, forgive him, and look for his good qualities. Al-non showed me how to understand how new ideas and beliefs could change my behavior and thinking. If I sent out loving ways to others, it would return. It was finally safe to express myself in communications, my talents, and in meetings. Overtime, I was finding courage, self-esteem, and knowing that the universe supported me in all things. I found a loving God.
However, not everyone in the program can change if they are not honest with themselves. Sadly, when I realized my husband could not move out of his fear-based life from childhood abuse, into a love-based life of the program, I did finally leave because he was still attacking me. In those days, no one mentioned domestic violence in meetings. However, it was the only decision I could make to live.
My sponsor was the most important person in my life. When I called my sponsor, she always began with the words, “Focus on Marilyn, What does Marilyn want?” I grabbed on to the program out of survival and found I had not grown up, emotionally.
Focus on Marilyn was totally new to me; I knew what my family needed, my job required, and how to keep the house tidy. Nevertheless, I did not have a clue what I needed. She told me, “Now you can take care of your own needs”. I asked myself, “What are my needs?” I did not want to attract another alcoholic, battering, and abusive marriage. The Serenity Prayer has been my motivation, as the only one I can change is me.
I wanted to find a healthy relationship that reflected my healthier new life. I discovered I did not need to cling to my family, husband, or friends, for love, security, and emotional stability. My insanity was looking outside myself for love. My new focus was found in turning my life over to a God of my understanding. That has become my security, stability, and safety. I found that I am a worthy person, as good as others are, and loved by God.
Becoming a new person based in a lifestyle of loving myself so I can share that with others, instead of looking to others to love me, has become empowering. I am in a relationship of unconditional love. Today, I can focus on Marilyn, because I have my own life. The best part I discovered that what I always wanted was peace. Thank you Al-anon for showing me the path to love and peace.
