Dear Melissa–
Melissa Frei Answers Your Questions
Dear Melissa,
Because of fear and trying to fit in, I tried to blind myself to
my abilities many years ago. It worked well, though my efforts
did not block everything out. In doing this, there was always
something missing; lacking. I just wasn’t happy. About a year
ago, I decided to accept and embrace my abilities. Once I did, I
felt an enormous happiness, a knowing that this is what’s been
missing from my life. However, I still have a block and I can’t
figure out what it is. I’m feeling an ache, as though something
is within reach, but I’m not able to touch it. Any advice or sense
of the direction I need to take or what the block is?
Thank you so much.
Looking for My Spirit
Dear Looking for Spirit,
Thank you for sharing your story! I can relate to it so much,
as it hits a familiar cord in my soul. I remember being a
little girl, seeing spirits, knowing things and having other
psychic experiences. I shut them off because I did not have
anyone to help me understand what was happening to me.
My experiences were so different from everyone else around
me. With situations like this, it’s common to find ourselves
feeling separate and apart (different from others) and trying
to fit in any way we can. In many ways, we conform to what
others want us to be.
You are well on your way, so please do not be discouraged.
I feel that you are breaking down these barriers. Here is an
exercise that will help: reflect back to different situations in
your life in which you felt less than, or when you felt that
you could not be in your power (it wasn’t safe or you weren’t
supported in being empowered). Start from your earliest
memory until now. As you look at the different situations
that come up, consider what you could have done to be
empowered or to have had a different experience. Doing this
allows for subtle energy shifts that actually heal the situation
in your own personal vibration. This will take time, but as
you do this work, you will break the blocks and be complete
in your gifts! Stay strong!
Love, Melissa

I feel compassion for you; it sounds like you worked hard to
shut down and fit in. The times when you turned off your
gifts, you were doing things that were not in true alignment
with who you really are. It put you in situations that were
painful for you. As you slowly started to see the light and
realize that expressing your gifts was who you truly were,
your spirit slowly started to awaken.
You have done a great job in accepting and turning your gifts
back on. It is such a blessing when we feel confident that we
are finally walking our paths. Tuning into Spirit Energy is
such a gift. It’s an amazing transformation in your life, even
to this point!
Regarding what the block might be, I feel that you have
some areas in your life in which you have not fully forgiven
yourself and others. There is some healing that needs to be
done —such as with your parents where you would benefit
from some additional forgiveness work. My sense is that the
other part of the block is there because you are not allowing
yourself or giving yourself full permission to be in your
power and be true to you!
