HONOR WHERE YOU ARE

Angelic Greetings!

So much is happening, isn’t it? Things are moving, rolling, and shaking.

Whether those things are “good” or “bad” is really not the point. The angels want us to try to pull back our focus, zoom out if you will, to try to see and grasp the bigger picture. Try to envision your “old self” and your “future self.

” See the lessons you’ve learned, the old patterns you are releasing and changing. And see that you are doing and experiencing everything perfectly to get to that future self, which is the most authentic expression of your Self.

Honor your present self as the perfect blending of the past, present and future. Honor where you are at this very moment. Trust that the changes you are making and the transformation you are undergoing are for the highest good of all. We are being asked to forgive and make peace with past wounds. It is the only way we can truly heal.

We are also being asked to honor our physical bodies by exercising, building strength and stamina, eating more healthful foods, and getting adequate sleep.
That last one is so important. So much healing, physical and spiritual, takes place during our sleep. But, as a society, we are cheating ourselves out of this crucial nutrient. There is an epidemic of sleeplessness, as evidenced by the abundance of sleeping aid commercials on television. The angels say that we should use them, rather than drugs. First, as you are going to bed, empty your thoughts, worries, and anxieties from your mind and body by giving them to the angels. Use whatever imagery works for you to “close the door” on the day’ s events and resist focusing on the events of the coming day. Then ask the angels to help you relax and get a restful sleep. You can ask them for healing, clearer dreams, messages, or just a good night’s sleep.

Please remember that you can never be “disconnected” from your angels and the outpouring of love from the Universe. If you are feeling that way, it is okay. Again, it is important to honor where you are. Sometimes, when we are in the void, a place of indecision and unknowing that often precedes major change and transformation, we feel that way. So just surrender to it. And sometimes, we are just not taking the time to connect. If our focus is solely on the illusion of the physical, material world, and we do not take the time to quiet our minds and allow our energy to sense what lies beyond the physical, then we will not feel connected. My personal experience is that the veil is thinning and our abilities to perceive the messages of the non-physical Universe are getting stronger and stronger. We simply need to allow ourselves to receive.

Everything – the entire Universe – moves in cycles. Recognize where you are in the cycle of life. Try to examine how you feel during the cycles of the moon, or the different seasons. Sometimes we are naturally more productive and sometimes we need to pull back and rest. Even during the course of a day, you go through cycles of energy. If you try to force yourself to be up in a down cycle, or down in an up cycle, it will always feel as if you are swimming against a strong current. As you understand your own cycles, see the bigger picture, and honor exactly where you are, you begin to flow more effortlessly with the currents of life.

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE NEW AGP’S!

The last weekend of January was an incredibly special time for me as I got to spend it with 7 amazing women (6 participants and 1 wonderful assistant) and one amazing man (my hubby!) as we all journeyed through my first Angel Guidance Practitioner Course. And what a journey it was. I have to say that it was even more magical and more healing for all of us – including me – than I had envisioned. The angels were present in a big way and assisted us as we worked on so many levels – physically, spiritually, and emotionally. The six women who participated in the course are all amazing Angel Guidance Practitioners who clearly received many beautiful messages. I know they are going to bring blessings and healing to many others in whatever they do. Thank you again, AGP’s, Debbie, and Manny, for accompanying me on this adventure, and congratulations on becoming the first AGP’s!

TO DO: UNIVERSE

We are all busy, busy, busy. And if you are like me, you have a few “to do” lists going at once. I am definitely at the point where I feel if I don’t write it down, I will forget to do it. I also love the reward of crossing out the items that I have accomplished.

I recently read about a new kind of “to do” list in the book Ask and it is Given by Esther and Jerry Hicks. I have been trying it for a while now and I want to share it with you. The premise behind this is that if we have too many things on our list, we get overwhelmed and never feel like we are making progress. And perhaps, we are giving ourselves too much to do, when there is help available.

So now, per the suggestion in the book, I have two lists. One list is entitled just “To Do” or “To Do Today” and it includes the things I absolutely need to and intend to get done within a day or two. The other list is entitled “To Do: Universe.” This is a list of things I am asking the Universe to help me get done.

It amazes me how quickly and easily the things on the Universe list get done! Of course, there is still human action involved. But an element of divine timing seems to help these things unfold naturally, without a lot of pushing. It’ s like delegating. You put things in the trusted hands of the Universe and know that it will get done at the right time and the right place, and you will be guided as to when to take the appropriate actions. Give it a try. It’s fun!


ARCHANGEL OF THE MONTH: JOPHIEL

Card: Clear Your Space

Message on Card:

“Get rid of clutter, clear the energy around you and use feng shui.”

About Archangel Jophiel (taken from Doreen Virtue’s “Archangel Oracle Cards booklet):

Jophiel’s name means “Beauty of God.” She sees beauty in everyone and everything and helps you do the same. Call upon Jophiel anytime you feel rush, stressed, or unhappy. She’ll increase your appreciation of life’s everyday miracles.

Message from Jophiel:

“Pink roses. Lemon drops. Jasmine. Lavender. Just the thought of these tingles your senses. Try today to smell a rose or taste a lemon drop. Then give thanks for your unique ability to use your physical senses to evoke joy and pleasure. Go into nature and feel the wind’s caress on your cheek. Listen to sweet whispers of the plants and trees. Feel the healing that water longs to share with you. This is the unconditional love that pours forth to you from God’s Beauty.

“If for a moment you have forgotten or forsaken your own Beauty, go into retreat. This can be within your mind and imagination, or in a physical place that brings you comfort and joy. Go into silence and tune into all your senses. Some of you fear your deep strong emotions. Do not be afraid to touch your feeling sense as well. It is part of your aliveness, your Beauty, and often gives you the gift of Truth.

“Do not limit yourself to what you think you can do. Expand into what you feel you must do. Your Beauty is a shining essence that begs to be seen and shared. Imagine going through your day telling everyone and everything you see ‘You are beautiful.’ Try it, if only in you mind. Do not forget yourself when you look in the mirror. At the day’s end, you may receive the gift of knowing just how beautiful you are in the eyes of the angels, and in the eyes of God/dess.

“When you see the pink rose, it is me remembering you remembering me. I love you unconditionally as you shall love yourself.  Jophiel”

Angel Blessings!
