It's been a while since I've done a solo episode, and I'm thrilled to be here today to talk about a fascinating topic: coincidences and pets. While some may think that coincidences have no significance in the realm of animals, I believe there's more to it than meets the eye. Coincidences often occur because we humans seek meaning and connection in life. Our pets, on the other hand, are always in tune with the oneness of life, effortlessly connected to the source. They don't need signs or affirmations to assure them that everything is going as it should. When coincidences involving animals happen, it's usually because we humans are recognizing or acknowledging something. In this episode I talk about: How animals are perceptive and connected to us. Animals that exhibit behaviors or traits reminiscent of past pets who have passed away Deceased animals connecting us with new animals A heartwarming true-story movie that defies randomness emphasizing the purpose and meaning behind events in our lives Connect with Rev.

Through a series of meditation and journal prompts, I guide listeners on a 40-day journey to explore what animals can teach us about life, trust, intuition, and community.

Wisdom from African Wildlife: Specific messages from wildebeest, zebras, and giraffes illustrate how we can use our intuition, work in community, and utilize our unique gifts.

Today's top question I want to address is whether African safaris are ethical. My main concern is for the animals, the earth, and ensuring there are no injustices or exploitation during these adventures. Many safaris may be unethical, getting too close to animals or intentionally provoking reactions. To determine the ethics of a safari, specific questions need to be asked, such as how they handle sleeping animals or if they encourage visitors to take pictures with animals. The goal should be to observe animals in their natural environment without causing harm or disruption to their lives. Additionally, consider the wildlife hunting policies of the countries you visit to support ethical practices. To plan a safari that aligns with your ethics, seek reviews and guidance from reliable sources, and feel free to reach out to me at revkarencleveland.com for support and assistance. Enjoy your safari!

What a coincidence, do you ever say that? And does it mean anything to you if you do?I believe coincidences are one way we see the connectedness of all, I think they're little magical signs to show us that there is more to our life than what we can see.I, coincidentally, have recently become involved in the world of coincidences that I never knew existed.

Today, my question is one of the top inquiries about African safaris: How much does African safari cost? The price range can vary widely, from shoestring budget options to luxurious, high-end safaris. Many advertisements portray safaris as exclusively luxurious, leading us to believe they might be unaffordable. However, after exploring different safari options, I've realized they are more reasonably priced than I initially thought I've done research versus Disneyland and Hawaii and have found that safaris are less that typical vacations there. Keep in mind that specialized safaris like gorilla trekking or other activities will have different costs. For personalized experiences, visit me at revkarencleveland.com and enjoy your safari adventure!

"Are safaris worth it?" I say a resounding YES! Safaris offer a magical and unpredictable experience that opens your heart and mind to the vast possibilities of life. The presence of animals in their natural habitat teaches us valuable lessons about living without fear or worry, and the experience stays with you forever. This is an experience that cannot be created in any other way, safari experiences stand on their own, truly a once in a lifetime experience.I highly recommend going on a safari to discover the unity of life and the true essence of what's important.

Hey there! Welcome back to the African Safari Series. I'm here to help you connect with your divine nature and truth through captivating wildlife experiences. Today, I address the question: Are African safaris expensive? The truth is, it's entirely up to you. I've compared costs, and the safaris I offer are often cheaper than trips to Hawaii or Disneyland when you consider all the additional charges. Accommodations are comfortable, ranging from three to four stars, but you can choose luxury options if you prefer. Airfare can be a significant cost, but there are ways to find affordable flights. Ultimately, the expense depends on your comfort level, trip duration, and any additional activities you desire. Don't assume that safaris are only for the wealthy—budget-friendly options are available too. If a safari is truly important to you, prioritize it and explore your options. Remember, you don't have to join a large group; private safaris can be just as incredible and inexpensiveSo, if you have specific questions or need guidance, reach out to me at https://revkarencleveland.com.

to answer the question of "How Do I Make Manifestation Work?" there are several points you need to know. Manifestation is about feeling the emotions associated with what you want and immersing yourself in the experience of having it. It also requires taking inspired action and collaborating with others to bring your desires to fruition. Trust your intuition and follow the guidance that may seem strange or unexpected, as these are divine nudges leading you toward your goals. Embrace the co-creative process of manifestation, where you feel, act, and stay open to signs, allowing your dreams to manifest into reality.Join me for a free masterclass How to Manifest Your Bucket List https://bit.ly/freehowtomanifest

Is Manifestation a Sin? Is Manifestation against the Bible?Today's topic addresses the question of whether manifestation is considered a sin or goes against Christian beliefs. As a minister, it is important to clarify this misconception. When we examine biblical verses such as Mark 11:24 and Matthew 7:7, we find that they align with the principles of manifestation. Jesus himself taught people how to create their world and emphasized the power of prayer and belief in receiving what is desired. James 2:12 reminds us that faith without action is lifeless, highlighting the importance of taking action in intentional manifestation. Manifestation is not antithetical to Christianity but rather aligns with the teachings of Jesus. It requires focused intention, understanding our beliefs, and taking inspired action to manifest our desires, it is a form of prayer.Join me in my upcoming free masterclass How to Manifest Your Bucket List https://bit.ly/freehowtomanifest

Do I Need a Manifestation JournalHi, today's question is, do I need a manifestation journal? And I'm gonna say you don't need it, but it's helpful. If you journal what you want every single day, that's going to increase your faith. So if you focus on it and write it, that's like double the focus, right? They have shown that writing your goals every single day tremendously increases the chances of them coming true. So a journal can simply help to keep you focused on it. It's similar to the placebo effect - if you believe it, it will work.Join me in my upcoming free masterclass How to Manifest Your Bucket List https://bit.ly/freehowtomanifest

Will My Manifestation WorkToday's topic revolves around the effectiveness of manifestation, emphasizing that manifestation is not a mere action but a result. When individuals question whether manifestation works or express disappointment because their desired outcomes have not materialized, it is important to understand that what shows up in their lives is often aligned with their expectations. While this may be influenced by societal norms and subconscious thought patterns, personal transformation requires conscious effort to shift ingrained beliefs and create new mental pathways. True manifestation involves delving into the underlying thought patterns and actively changing them to align with desired outcomes.

The topic of today's discussion is letting go in the manifestation process. Once you know what you want, it's important to release attachment to how it will happen, as there are countless ways for things to unfold. Sometimes, the details of our manifestations are beyond our imagination or control. Instead, focus on the end result and how it will make you feel. By staying open to possibilities and detaching from the specifics, unexpected opportunities can arise. Remember to embrace the notion that you don't need to dictate the "how" of manifestation, as long as it ultimately comes to fruition. Letting go of control becomes a daily practice and a reminder to concentrate on your desires and the accompanying emotions.Join me in my upcoming free masterclass How to Manifest Your Bucket List https://bit.ly/freehowtomanifest
