Messages from the Divine Mother

Dee Buchanan spent over 20 years journaling. Now, her journal is a book of messages to support and empower women to learn and grow and understand themselves. This episode is based on her book Messages from the Divine Mother: A Selection of Spiritual Conversations for Women. Welcome to this edition of Newsgram.  Let’s call this a Holiday edition of Newsgram because if I do this right it’s going to fill you with the holiday spirit and make you feel good. It’s a show about love; Unconditional love. It’s about soothing messages of validation. It’s about feelings. Divine Mother energy. It’s about the light.  Dee Buchanan – When in the darkness of life the light is always there.  When in the darkness of life the light is always there  — a lot being said there from Dee Buchanan. She is the author of a book you might not be expecting me to talk about. It’s called Messages from the Divine Mother: A Selection of Spiritual Conversations for Women. I think it’s for anyone really but you’ll understand the title in a minute.It is the accumulation of Dee’s twenty years of journal entries redrafted into a book but the thing I liked most about it was that creating a book was not the intention.  Dee Buchanan – I never actually wrote my journal to be published. It was a very personal journey of mine at a certain time when I was going through all the emotions you go through when things don’t seem to be going well or you feel like everything is crashing down on you. It was my release from being able to talk about my emotions and at the same time use my journal like a prayer book. every morning actually praying but through writing to talk about all the things I was feeling and asking for answers, asking for confirmation, just really pouring my heart out because I felt I had nowhere else to go to do that to be actually truthful and honest about myself. So she just started writing. Which is what they tell you in workshops or when you are stuck with writers block. Just write anything and eventually the words will flow and the process will take on a life of its own.  Dee Buchanan –  So I used to just get up every morning and do that but then one morning I felt that something spiritual was happening  and so it became like a…my own morning prayer, you know my own morning food or spiritual breakfast every morning.  She writes very descriptively about what she was feeling and seeing and thinking each day, which is something many of us do but for Dee the process became a spiritual one which is how it became messages from the Divine Mother.  Dee Buchanan – The interesting thing about it was that I started addressing my journal every morning to the holy mother and then it was divine mother and it always started with Good morning Mother or good morning Holy Mother or good morning Divine Mother. I then began to feel that I was actually addressing my journal to the Divine Mother it wasn’t even purposeful or meant to be it was just that as I went on these are the words that came through and so i didn’t even think about it like that i just got up every morning and wrote to the divine mother and that’s it. Off I went after that.   Channeling? Divine inspiration? Who knows but the words and the process that was once private and personal to Dee became something new and important that could be shared with others.
