Sonia Choquette Quotes

Your own words are the bricks and mortar of the dreams you want to realize. Your words are the greatest power you have. The words you choose and their use establish the life you experience.

Remember that you’re intimately connected to everyone else in the world, so when you attack another person, you attack yourself.

One difference between spiritual and ego law is that spiritual law is very playful and creative, while ego law is fixed and routine.

Being calm is a skill that starts with proper breathing. Dr. Tully taught me that breathing deeply and regularly is not only the key to remaining calm, but also instantly connects us to a higher vibration.

Intuition doesn't tell you what you want to hear; it tells you what you need to hear.

We have bodies. We have personalities. We have histories, stories and experiences. But we are not those things - we are Spirit.

Another spiritual suggestion for remaining calm is to refrain from trying to control everyone around you. The more controlling you are, the more you’ll get lost in ego land and removed from your spirit.

if you’re on the right track doing what serves your soul, then you’re going to feel good, relaxed, and peaceful. Your heart will beat steadily, your energy will remain high, and you’ll be relatively free from aches, pains, anxiety, or stress.

go to bed early, secure in the knowledge that God is in control, not you.

In order to trust your vibes, you have to first be able to sense them—and to do this, you must quiet your mind.

Amazing things happen when you get enough sleep, eat properly, and take it easy. Your nerve endings relax, and your spirit, or the six-sensory part of you, rejuvenates and begins to shine light on your path.

People are unaware of how delicate the spirit is and how it needs a safe and grounded home in the body.

Your vibes are useless if you don’t trust them.

We psychically influence each other at all times, and those of us who live in a higher way know this as fact and don’t question it.

Once you choose to love yourself and align with your Spirit, life aligns with you.

Whenever a transition is called for, view it as your soul knocking at the door of your life, bearing more gifts for you to bring to the world. Change is a call from your soul to grow. —Sonia Choquette

if your body is neglected, exhausted, or abused, it becomes energetically toxic. Your spirit actually leaves via what’s known as the “silver cord” (a shimmering cord of light extending from your solar plexus to your auric field), and your psychic engines shut down.

If I was not in touch with my needs, then how could anyone else meet them?

When we trust our vibes, we restore our balance and experience within—which, ultimately, leads to peace without.

Small steps work—grandiose goals don’t.

The more capable people are of inflicting pain, the deeper, more buried they are in illusion and fear.

go. If you can’t sleep at night, perhaps your body can’t get your attention during the day.

I began to understand that we have everything to do with what happens to us, and as spiritual beings we actually co-create with the Universe all the events we experience. Every one. Even the two people who were murdered.

Synchronicities are not flukes or random events—they’re intentional reflections of our intuition working with the perfect order of all things in the unseen world. It’s why fish swim upstream, birds fly south, and bears hibernate. Everything in nature intuitively gravitates toward what best serves its growth, and that includes the human race. The only difference is that we have the choice to follow our intuition or not. So if you want your sixth sense to work, stop resisting your vibes, and change the rules you live by instead.

Choosing self-love challenges the collective paradigm of guilt and shame that has controlled us for thousands of years. If we go the route of the ego, we’ll never feel worthy of self-love. If we choose to live our Spirit, we’ll be instantly liberated.

She was a very old soul, which meant that her life was driven by love and not ego.

I call your head a bad neighborhood because your head is full of a lot of babbling, conflicting information; most of it not yours, and most of it really bad.

The point of our Earthly journey is to create and express our loving spirit.

The way telepathy ordinarily works is that we mentally tune in to the same vibratory frequency we send out, and we especially tune in the frequencies that we focus on or care about. It’s a simple case of like attracting like: If we dwell on fear, focus on danger and injury, and feel like victims, we’re going to draw the same to us. If, on the other hand, we focus on positive, life-affirming, and loving experiences, these will be returned to our field of consciousness by others.

The only thing that brought me peace was to fully feel my human experience and accept that no matter what had transpired, in this or any life, underneath it all people do what they think is right or necessary at the time, and because of that, we are all both victims and perpetrators. We are all wounded, and wound one another because of it.

the more you practice getting quiet, the quicker you’ll sense your vibes.

These services become affordable when you value them.

Your peace won’t begin after you heal, but when you agree to heal.

A true soul mate is one who grows your capacity to love.

If we think of our life as a journey [...] we don't want to move into our future lugging along the heavy baggage of our past. One way to lighten the load is to work on forgiveness and acceptance.

We humans are all manifestations of one Divine spirit vibrating at different levels of consciousness and frequencies at one time. Like cells in a body, we’re all on this planet together, and when one cell attacks another in the body, we call that cancer. Similarly, when we attack one another (or ourselves) through condemnation and judgment, it’s no less cancerous and toxic to our entire being—body, mind, and soul.

Did You Know That … … my teacher Dr. Tully once told me that the best thing you can do for others, for yourself, and for the world is to be happy? This is the best way to appreciate your blessings and your guides’ support.

If your intuitive channel is open but your tuner isn’t dialed to your Higher Self, you may accidentally pick up on that negative energy without even knowing it. You may unconsciously tune in to another’s anxiety, depression, or fear,

(P.S. If you have addictions, not only do they ruin your sixth sense, they ruin everything else as well. Keep in mind that as you reach for higher ground, it’s necessary to leave the swamp. Before you can go one step further, you must be honest and admit you need help. Then get it. It’s time.)

Go to community [for emotional support], but I'm talking about reassuring, sensitive others; not just anybody hanging around. Pay attention to who you're talking to. Are they catastrophizers? Are they unconscious? Neither one of those are going to help you. Be aware and mindful of where you seek your support.

And yet, I also understood the need for this journey. To simply say to myself or anyone else, “I am forgiven” or “I forgive” could not shift my past karmic energy as well as walking the Camino. I was walking myself out of trauma and grief and anger and shame and righteous indignation and feelings of worthlessness and over-thinking and every other faulty human perception that blocked the truth of my being from shining through.

You gotta learn to trust your spirit. But you can't trust your spirit to drive the car if you have little practice. You gotta practice on the little things before you get into the big things. [...] Play games like which elevator is gonna come [first] before you [ask your intuition big life-changing questions like]: "Should I pack up and leave?" Get a little practice going so you know what it feels like to get in the flow of the vibe. Have little baby steps. Have little tiny games.

Please, Holy Mother God,” I whispered in prayer, “help me cut the invisible cords that bind me, and set me free. Give me the inner strength to let go of all that I have created up until now, on every level, and which no longer reflects the highest path for me, and for those I love and serve. Help calm my more masculine energies so I can settle into my own divine feminine nature and cool the angry fires of hurt and fear that have burned in my heart for so long.” After making my prayerful request, I got up and lit a candle to the Divine Mother, to say “thank you” for hearing me. I was ready to surrender. I knew it was time to release control over my life and let God take over. I spoke my intention aloud: “This life of mine is now finished. My present way is no longer serving me or allowing my greater Spirit to express through me. I ask for the cocoon to break open and free my true divine light. I surrender all attachments on all levels to the past and am now ready for what the Universe has in store for me. And so it is.” At that moment time stood still. I knew my intention was heard and registered by the heavens, and that my request would be honored and met with divine support. I sensed an inner shift take place in me. I didn’t feel euphoric. I didn’t even feel happy. Rather, I felt somber and quiet in spite of the thousand sounds swirling around me, the Universe saying, Okay, get ready. The next morning, I suddenly had a powerful intuitive hit from my Higher Self that said, “Sonia, it is time to heal your life, and the only way to do that is to walk the Camino de Santiago. And go alone.

Divine Spirit within me, move me in the direction of my highest good this day. Move my mind, move my words, move my body, move my emotions, so that I am able to be my best, do my best, serve my best and experience the best.

Do You Know How to Change the Channel? Try This … One of my favorite tools is “changing the channel.” To do so, simply say: “My brain says [fill in the blank] on the subject.” Then pause, and follow with: “My heart and inner guide say [fill in the blank] on the subject.” This exercise will help you change the channel of your awareness from your mind chatter to the higher frequencies of spirit.

We tend to manage our lives intellectually—in other words, we get stuck in our heads, keeping ourselves preoccupied with juggling an assortment of activities and responsibilities in order to manage the surface of life. Meanwhile, underneath we feel empty, hungry for meaning, restless, somewhat lost, and frequently ungrounded—as if we aren’t really inhabiting our own bodies. This is why we keep ourselves so busy. It’s one way to distract ourselves, at least temporarily, from experiencing the low-grade inner anxiety that haunts us. Change

Without such rejuvenating contact with our inner Self, we become depleted of Spirit and our lives reflect this emptiness. For example, I know individuals—and you may, as well—who seem to have it all (at least on a material level, living prosperous, comfortable lives) but are still deeply unhappy because they’re out of touch with their Spirit. Others feel this loss of contact with their Spirit but try to fill the void through drinking, drugging, gambling, having meaningless sex, and more. With

Disruptive awakening is your signal that you’re ready to take the initial step toward attaining your authentic identity and moving into a more deeply guided awareness of your personal path and purpose in life. While awakening experiences are often unexpected, and even scary, in truth they are invitations from your Spirit to remember and begin living at the highest level of your inner truth.

The Camino does pull you into an alternative Universe filled with grace and magic if you are open to it. I’m sure that once he committed to his pilgrimage, he left planet Earth and was in another realm entirely.

May you walk in beauty.

I offer my dreams as a source of love to the world. In their fulfillment I will bring a message of light to all that I touch.

I decided with this new awareness to dedicate my day to moving at my own natural, calm pace, and not pressuring myself to get going, get moving, or hurry up at all, something quite different from what I otherwise did.

Did You Know That . . . Healer guides will always leave you feeling peaceful, self-loving, and self-accepting. They are gentle, noncoercive, and forgiving. They speak to your heart, not your ego; to your eternal essence, not your mortal self.

Your Turn Whenever you’re in doubt or in need of guidance, say aloud: “Let me ask my guides,” and then do exactly that. Next, let them answer by saying, “They say [fill in the blank].” Don’t worry that you’re making things up—just listen to the content and vibration of the words that emerge as you let your inner being speak freely. Practice this for 10 to 15 minutes a day.

I wondered if [people] weren't psychic because they didn't have the ability, or because they didn't want to have it. [...] Later I'd come to understand how negative behavior and thought patterns block people from their psychic sense.

Soul worker: [...] To find peace: it meant she had to stop scorning the souls around her hooked on drugs, reproducing countless babies, living on welfare. Instead she had to minister to their souls, give them dignity by showing basic love and kindness. Her mission was not to save them, help them, change them - just simply to salute the good within them. That is the job of a soul worker. And when people do their job and fulfill their spiritual goals, they become peaceful and secure. Joy wells up from within.

A key to whether friendship is good is: Who am I being in this connection? Do I like me? (Never mind do I like you!) Am I liking how I'm showing up? Does this feel good to me?

Waitressing: [...] She was a very old soul, which meant that her life was driven by love and not ego. [...] She, on a soul level, had decided to commit a huge part of her life to serving people, to being kind and caring and wouldn't seek a lot of attention for it. The work was its own reward.

Challenge yourself. Try to shed an outgrown identity.

[Intuition doesn't necessarily lead you to the "one path that will be your path forever", because energy shifts, and when it does, your path shifts with it.] [Intuition] is a moment to moment reading of the energy. That's why [when your intuition tells you to dance] you get up and dance as fast as you can so that when the energy shifts, you're practised and prepared to shift with it.

Never assume that what you know is all there is to know.

TV and media create in many people a sense of entitlement to happiness, love and care from others. [...] The problem with this [...] is that we are stuck looking for lovability, worth and our true place in life from other mere mortals. If everyone is looking for it, who has a surplus of love and care to give to fill our need? [...] We must accept that our lovability and worth don't come from others. They come from ourselves!

A currently popular misinterpretation of metaphysical wisdom is the notion that we cause - and are responsible for - the behavior of everyone around us at all times. The truth is, we are responsible only for ourselves. We can control only our response to and interpretation of events. [...] Not everything in your life happens TO you - or even AT you. [...] For example, if you are around a chronically angry person, you will be "angered upon". Nothing personal!

A storyteller's form of healing [is] being a counselor, and healing people with ideas, with stories and kind, loving guidance.

All her life she had striven to do the right thing, but right according to whom?

[If you think you're lost in life] even though your mind didn't know it, your soul has never been lost. It knows exactly where it's going, and if your ego will step out of the way and allow you to be guided, you will move directly towards you purpose in life.

«Mente subconsciente, permite a mi Ser Superior, y sólo a él, que me guíe a través de este día».

Like cells in a body, we’re all on this planet together, and when one cell attacks another in the body, we call that cancer. Similarly, when we attack one another (or ourselves) through condemnation and judgment, it’s no less cancerous and toxic to our entire being—body, mind, and soul.

One of the greatest obstacles to connecting with your guides is having unrealistic expectations of what receiving guidance should be like. Most people are surprised by how understated spirit guides can be. Conditioned by Hollywood and bad horror novels, they expect strange beings in space suits to beam down to them in the night when, in reality, most spirit guidance is as subtle as the brush of a butterfly’s wing on your cheek. So, if you’re waiting for a booming voice or an apparition of Merlin to appear at the foot of your bed, you’ll most likely be disappointed.

Creator of the Universe and all forms and expressions that support the goodness of life, thank You for [fill in the blank] that You have blessed me with today.

Affirm: I forgive myself for judging and resenting. I release myself from all of my judgments and resentments, as well as from all negative perceptions. With my breath, I share my spirit with all and return to peace and balance. So be it.

My task was to interpret these energetic transmissions to understand what they were trying to convey. Believe it or not, that was easier than it sounds because it was all so natural to me. Just as my eyes received vibrations of light and my ears felt vibrations that tapped on my eardrums and I understood the meaning of those sights and sounds, what my heart and gut told me was also perfectly clear. All I had to do was get quiet, tune in to my body, and listen.

I came to understand that we create our own realities and how. Our thoughts and intentions determine our outcomes. We are not powerless victims of our life circumstances. We are Divine co-creators

The ego often doesn’t know the difference between different and dangerous, so please remember this and know you will always be safe, even if you briefly feel a little uncomfortable at times. We always feel awkward when learning new things, so relax.

The goal of each tool or practice is to quiet your ego, wake up your spirit, and help you tune in to the unseen world of energy. The tools in this book can also help you shift your identity from ego-centered fear and control to spirit-centered lighthearted ease.

Leaving the ego-driven space of your head and moving into the spirit-driven space of your heart is a significant shift and initially takes some getting used to. However, it won’t be long before you have evidence that this is the best way to go. Once you decide to turn the light back on in your heart, it’s simply a matter of finding the switch. The wiring is all in place. The light still works and always has.

It is also nearly impossible to get caught in someone’s dramatic reaction if you both breathe together. This is called sharing a breath. It’s a way to steer clear of a conflict and tune in when someone is agitated and truly tuned out. The way to do this is to start breathing in sync with that person, then slow your breathing to a deeper, calmer pace. The upset person will automatically follow your breathing and calm down too.

When you are both breathing calmly, you reduce the drama and even eliminate it. What’s more, this is when your vibes can get through and offer a solution to the problem causing all the drama in the first place.

My favorite breathing technique is to inhale and then slowly open your jaw wide, and exhale while saying, out loud, “Ahhhh . . .” This practice immediately centers and calms me.

Another way to remain calm is to stop your barking dog from trying to control everyone around you. The more controlling it is, the more you’ll fight with life and everyone in it. Sometimes you aren’t even aware when your ego is controlling you. It cleverly tries to fake you out and make you believe you are spiritually motivated when, in fact, it’s only more of the same old ego stuff in disguise. Here’s a clue: If you are spirit-led, things run peacefully. If you are ego-driven, there’s usually a struggle or fight. That’s how you tell who is running the show.

when your spirit is guiding the way, your body feels relaxed and open, even expansive, like you have a little more internal room to breathe. You also tend to feel somewhat playful and spontaneous. Your mind is generally quiet, and you feel at ease and fully present. You are not focused on the future or the past. You can easily see the humor in things and laughing comes easily. Because your heart is open, you also tend to be more forgiving, tolerant, and compassionate toward others, and don’t easily take offense. You quickly tune in to solutions to problems or at least have confidence that solutions will show up. Even when your spirit warns you of a need to change course or alerts you to danger, you tend to be calm and centered instead of feeling agitated, confused, or ambivalent.

If your barking dog is trying to control things, recognize it as a failed attempt to make your life better, then take a deep breath or two, squeeze your buttocks really hard for five seconds, and relax your entire body with a loud, audible, “Ahhhh.

possible, get a relaxing massage. If you can’t, take a bubble bath every night and stay in the tub long enough to unwind.

Your vibes are subtle and unobtrusive, and even though they’re always present, they can easily get drowned out by your clamoring mental chatter. It’s not that your spirit is reticent or shy; it’s just low-key and doesn’t often interrupt. So, until you are mentally quiet enough, you can easily miss your vibes. Just as it’s nearly impossible to listen to two people talk at the same time, you can’t hear your vibes if your ego is blathering nonstop over your spirit, competing for attention.

Physical activity also expels any accumulated negative or overloaded energy in what scientists now call your biofield and I call your aura. This is the energetic field that emanates from you and between you and others. When you are ungrounded your biofield looks a bit like Pig Pen, the Peanuts character who walks around in a cloud of dirt. In the same way that a rainstorm clears the atmosphere, physical movement clears psychic pollution, refreshes your biofield or aura, and resets your nervous system view.

Shifting your energy from an overactive mental activity to a grounding physical activity often jump-starts your creativity as well.

Perhaps the most immediate way to tune in to your vibes is by listening to the energetic feedback of your physical body. Your head listens to your ego, which filters out and distorts information, believes what is not true, or convinces you that it’s okay to do what’s harmful. Your body, however, listens to your spirit, which tells the truth. It honestly and accurately reflects how energy impacts you on a vibrational level through physical signals, such as aches, pains, flutters, ripples, tightness, fatigue, or even sickness to keep you safe and aligned with your spirit.

The good news is, not only is the body an honest, intuitive channel, it’s also straightforward. In other words, if you’re on the right track doing what supports your soul and spirit, then you’re going to feel more at ease, full of life, relaxed, and peaceful. Your heart will open and beat steadily. Your energy will increase, and you’ll be relatively free from stress. If, on the other hand, you’re making choices that compromise or betray your spirit, or if you find yourself in circumstances that threaten or disrupt your energetic well-being, your heart will pound, your stress will rise, your sleep may be harder to come by, and your body may even hurt.

Once you start paying attention to your body’s vibes, you’ll appreciate how faithfully they keep you informed, not only about what’s really going on around you, but what’s going on with your body itself.

No matter how confusing your body’s signals may appear, they always make sense if you just listen and learn the language. Listening to your body’s vibes for guidance and feedback may seem odd at first, but keep in mind that your body is a direct conduit to your Higher Self, and it won’t mislead you. Every signal it sends has direct meaning and essential information for your physical well-being, spiritual balance, and safety.

The more you acknowledge your body’s signals out loud, the clearer and more precise your body’s messages will be.

To avoid this “psychic contamination,” stay focused and committed to your own priorities and goals. The more defined your aims are, the more likely you will avoid the riffraff and not wander into energy that doesn’t belong to you, serve you, or possibly derail you. The stronger your intentions and priorities, the better your intuitive GPS, as well as your energetic boundaries, will become, and the more insulated you’ll be from any unwanted influences.

Those among us who have wide-open intuitive channels but no filters to decide what gets in and what gets out can become highly saturated with energy we don’t want to experience.

While continuing to nod, I casually turned my torso ever so slightly to the right side instead of being face-to-face with Phil. Then I gently crossed my arms over my belly and started breathing slowly, inhaling to the count of four and exhaling to the count of four as Phil kept talking. During this time, I mentally surrounded myself in white light, an energetic shield of love, and deflected everything he said away from my body. This maneuver kept me from absorbing Phil’s negative torpedoes as they headed straight my way. A few minutes after having dumped all his upset in my direction, Phil calmed down. Thankfully, with my turned body, crossed arms, and slow breathing, I was intact. Phil felt better, and I survived unscathed.

PSYCHIC PROTECTION AGAINST BAD VIBES Breathe in slowly and exhale fully. Next, turn your body slightly to either the right or left of the negative energy being directed at you, and casually cross your arms slightly above your belly button. This is your solar plexus, the place in your body where you most absorb energy from the atmosphere around you. Continue to breathe slowly, inhaling to the count of four, then exhaling to the count of four, slowly. Remain in this position and keep breathing for as long as you need to.

Just as people can be toxic or have bad vibes, so can places.
