Listening
by Ada  Brown

June 2006

Listening comes in so many forms that unless 
we sit down mentally and think about it we 
really don’t take stock in what it can 
potentially mean in so many areas of our lives. 

Everyone has had a spouse or significant other 
say “YOU just don’t listen to me” at some point. 
We are all guilty of it at least once in our 
lifetimes.

Not listening is easy to do in this culture 
of noise and information feeding into us from 
every angle. My youngest daughter has accused 
me more than once of “didn’t you even HEAR 
me?,” for which I plead guilty as charged.
My brain is already on overload with all the
things to remember for kids, work, house,
significant other, computer stuff,car stuff, 
it goes on and on and on. So,the last year or 
two I have been working very hard to correct
this for both my daughter’s sake and mine.

There is another facet in my life that is 
so very mportant for me to have listened
and that is my intuitive side. My guides 
have been trying to help steer this little 
redhead onto her various lessons in life 
with each step. 

Just this morning, I got a big internal message
of “If you’re trying to listen to other 
psychics/mediums how can you hear us?” 

It was on a trip to the bathroom. I love it 
when my guides pick the most common spots for
the wake up calls. It really sets you on even
ground with everything. This is one of the
times I have to internally raise my hands and
go, “OK you have  my full attention.” 

The problem was I have been trying to get a 
reading from other psychics as to where I am 
stuck. How can I listen to my guides, if I
am too intent on going elsewhere for the 
information I am seeking. 

Don’t get me wrong, sometimes, it is necessary
for anyone to seek out from a real psychic or 
medium for whatever we are searching. But 
for me it was going against what I had been
directed towards for my own personal growth. 

I was told months ago that I HAD to start 
listening harder to that inner voice. When 
I agreed with  God/Spirit/the Universe 
and my guides to start working in earnest
with my gifts/abilities to help others, this 
was one of the first things I was told, yes, 
told.

It wasn’t a booming voice from the sky, no 
bushes burned, nothing like that just a very 
clear message inside my head of the need for
listening to my internal guidance system and 
to my angels/guides who are  there to help
me at ALL times.

They have been there since I can remember. 
I just didn’t acknowledge who was giving me 
the information that so often kept me and 
my girls safe. It was those times of not 
going at a certain time down the interstate
highway due to a wreck/traffic jam. They gave 
me the heads up regarding illness with my 
girls when they were small. 

They had been there consoling me through a 
rough, growing period of almost nine years 
in an abusive relationship. They guided me 
through the pain of many of life’s occurrences.

I can,in all honesty ,say that if it weren’t 
for listening to them back some 8 years ago, 
I would be a dead woman now, at least in 
spirit if not on the physical side itself.

A few years ago, my gifts/abilities started to
flair up or heighten. After leaving an oppressive
marriage, one part in a series of big bumps in 
the road of life,I claimed ME back to life 
and into life. 

Since that time, my gifts and abilities have 
been more awake than ever before. I have 
always had a strongly intuitive nature, however,
this was as if the radio channel had been 
changed and the antennae had been boosted up. 

This was something I had very little preparation 
for and as time has progressed I have been 
learning about these gifts. My angels have
worked overtime. The great love and encouragement
that they give on a daily basis is tremendous 
in so many ways. 

We just have to listen , each time we do listen, 
it can become easier and easier.

Without a question, the most important part 
of this process has been my guides trying to 
teach me to LISTEN. This includes what things 
to pay attention to when I give a reading for
someone. It is an interesting process to learn 
the way one’s gifts work. Each person has 
their own form of communication links when 
they have this type of “special antennae.” 

We will all have big bumps and small bumps 
in life. It is part of living. We cannot control
everything or what would we learn? Asking “What 
am I not hearing/listening to?” does me a world 
of good when those rough spots hit home. 

I take time to listen, it can be on the back of 
my truck watching it rain for 10 minutes, or 
watching the cats chase things outside, as I 
wash dishes in front of my kitchen window, or
my morning walk when it’s just me and God/Spirit, 
I take the time to listen and hear the answers.

God/Spirit let us hear the answers to the questions 
asked, and let us learn from the guidance and 
love that is given.

Many blessings,
Ada
