Dear One,
We love you, and we want to see you strong and courageous. Be assured that we have "got your back". We are here to support you and nothing is more important for us.

Be Gentle With Yourself

2011-10-15T11:28:00.000-05:00

Dear One,
We love you, and we are glad that you are writing again.

Be gentle with yourself and everyone around you. You are making progress and your family is strong and resilient. Be patient, and remember to water your plants!
Your Angels

Something New

2011-10-11T10:05:00.002-05:00

“There’s nothing new under the sun.” was one of my father’s favorite phrases. He was a sarcastic man and his ennui with life gave him a sour disposition.

To my mind there is something new in every moment. It is true that patterns can repeat and sometimes people do things that are somewhat predictable. But it is also true that no moment in time can ever be repeated exactly.

Since I became a committed student of technology there has never been a day when I felt like I had a handle on all that is available. Information is exchanged at an exponential rate and new developments happen daily. Rather than having any kind of big picture view I now have to search for and implement information on a “need to know” basis.

In my personal life also I feel like I am constantly recreating myself. Our lives can quickly become limiting, even imprisoning if we do not frequently review and upgrade our thinking about ourselves and what we are doing in our lives.

My friend Kim says, “Envision it, and then take two steps backward and envision it bigger.” This overcomes a tendency to think small and stay comfortable. We can always grow and learn, although sometimes this can be scary.

This week I had reason to visit the “way back machine”, a site that archives nearly every old web page that has ever been since the beginning of the internet. I looked up my oldest website pages, my “Thoughts Create Reality” site started in 1998. Sure enough my old pages were there. There was a page of short essays that looked like a blog, but blogs didn’t exist yet. So much has come into being since those early days on the web.

I remember someone telling me about email before email became widely available. Back then it was something some universities had and she was using it to correspond with a friend in Italy. I didn’t think much about it at the time, little knowing that email would soon take over the world.

Who knew that seemingly frivolous things like Twitter and Facebook could unite people and bring about political changes like a successful people’s revolution?

Nine To Five

2011-01-11T09:05:00.002-05:00

One of the great blessings of self-employment is that the term “9 to 5” ceases to have meaning. There is just the day and the night and the work to be done.

Our society sanctions selling your soul to the Machine for at least eight hours a day, at least five days a week. Lives are literally spent, the juices all used up, as people slog through uninspired day after uninspired day just to collect a pay check. And we think that is normal! And we think that is how it should be.

Glory to the God of Creativity!
Blessed be the inspired life that energizes body and mind!

Finding within yourself a way to survive by your own happiness is very freeing. Humans are not machines and should not run on factory time. These crazy ideas are throwbacks to the Industrial Revolution when women and children were shackled to looms to increase their productivity.

The factories are mostly gone now. The jobs are gone too and they won’t be back soon.

What would a creative society look like? What if each child and teenager was encouraged to follow their bliss in order to find their life’s work? What would you have done?

I loved making things with paper, glue and scissors. I loved pictures, collages and writing stories, one hunt and peck at a time on my Mom’s typewriter. I loved fashion and fabrics, putting on fashion shows and plays. I loved singing and dancing and playing Indians in the woods.

I am a grownup now. My life supports me playing on the computer all day and all night long if I choose. It gives me time to think and breath and take care of the details. I wonder if I will ever retire, or if perhaps I already have.

All That Is

2011-01-02T09:30:00.002-05:00

For years I had elaborate altars in my bedroom. I’ve been a spiritual materialist for a long time (a phrase coined by Chögyam Trungpa to describe Westerners and other folks who like to amass spiritual artifacts. I own four different sets of prayer flags from Tibet, Buddha statues from Bali, India and Cambodia, statues of Tara, Ganesh, Hanuman and Sang Hyang Widhi Wasa (the one true God). I have boxes of photos of tankas, Hindu paintings, incense, incense burners, candles, votives, small household altars from India and Bali, batiks of gods and goddesses, God’s Eyes, crystals, precious stones, Native American fetishes, abalone shells, smudging wands of sage and cedar, books on Hinduism, Buddhism, meditation, yoga, tapes, CDs and DVDs. Stuff, stuff, stuff!

Maintaining a beautiful altar requires a focus and care that I no longer have. Many things have been put away and forgotten. There was a time when each of these items spoke to me in some way, evoked some feeling of connection to spirit.

My guru, Neem Karoli Baba died before I could get it together to go to India. Still his photos seemed alive to me, and I kept them all over the house, talking to him constantly throughout the day, and always receiving his messages, jokes, tricks and wisdom with joy.

Over the years I have grown spiritually. My gods and my gurus are no longer external . Somehow they have become enmeshed in my being to a degree that I no longer feel any separation from the divine.

Even as outward displays diminished, the inner core intensified. I relaxed into knowing that I am living in, experiencing always a unified field of love that is constant.

It has been easier to experience the presence of Divine Grace when I let go of the visual representations of gods and goddesses with human likenesses. To me, now, the Divine Presence is more like air or water, a living plasma, a matrix or web that I am completely a part of. I am consciousness experiencing being human and learning to function in this holographic universe.

I have tried to build an altar out of light and crystal, a shimmering white light of pure silk, an emptiness like a huge glass bowl, sparkling water bubbling over crystals and sunlight casting rainbows all around.

My god is not static but very much alive and dancing like sunlight on water and the intense radiance of color as painted by flowers. The beauty of the earth is vibrant and powerful as it streams through the animals and plants, and all of nature is alive.

I am part of all that is, and it is part of me.

Following Your Bliss

2010-11-11T12:27:00.001-05:00

“Follow Your Bliss’ is easy to say but actually gets rather complicated as competing agendas vie for your attention. My take on this simple formula is to find the things that make you happy and pursue them.

However, if you have kids, a mate, a business or two and a mortgage already as a result of following earlier bliss impulses then you may have to evolve slowly into the “Follow Your Bliss” journey and still take care of everything you want to bring along with you.

The truth is that our creative force can empower us to do amazing things. But if we suppress it and deny it any scope for expression, it can create illness, depression, bottled up anger and frustration.

You will know you are following your bliss if you always have lots of energy for doing what you are doing. A child can be happy doing just about anything, and their energy just flows and flows. But as we age we start to see that some choices have to be made. Unfortunately we are conditioned early by school and work to suppress our own enthusiasms and “follow the curriculum”. We are forced to sit in desks and pay attention to many other people and things. But we are rarely taught to pay attention to ourselves.

Yet it is within our own hearts and ideas that we will find the way to our bliss, our inner wisdom.

For me, getting in touch with my inner self has come mostly in the forms of writing and art. Writing has always brought me great comfort. I journal and write mostly for myself, to keep reminding myself of the truths I so easily forget. I also love to share my writing with others. I write to understand myself, and to work out my ideas. With art I can give some physical expression to the ideas that bubble up from inside.

This has led me to a larger form of creativity… creating a life that I love; creating a life that supports my creativity and allows me time and space to follow my bliss. Following your bliss all by yourself won’t last for long. You must begin to enroll other people in your life to participate in and encourage your self-expression, while you in turn support and encourage theirs.

Ultimately, a whole planet full of happy, self-expressed individuals could solve all of the world’s problems and bring about an Age of Bliss! Truly this is the only way to go!

We begin by setting ourselves free. The keys are in the lock. We just have to turn them. Start by finding and believing in your own inner worth. Listen to yourself, meditate, write, go for long walks, explore the inner landscape.

Create a space where you can find yourself, a space that supports your creative process. Allow yourself the time and the freedom to be in that space, alone and without an imposed agenda. Be patient. It may take a lifetime.

Find out who you are and live it with full expression, unapologetically. Enroll others in doing the same. Join or create a support group, blog, write books, network your bliss.

After a while your circle of support will help you to stay focused, for there will be days when you wake up and wonder why you do what you do, and is it really worth it? Then you will have to turn again within and get back to the wellspring of your happiness. It is great if you have some friends to remind you of all this.

Throwing Something Away

2010-05-09T17:31:00.002-05:00

Right now I’m trying to pay attention to what makes me uncomfortable. I was listening to a talk by Pema Chodron called “Getting Unstuck”.

She was talking about our endless desire to be “comfortable” and “safe”; how we are always trying to avoid pain and discomfort. She pointed out that when we experience any uncomfortable feelings we quickly choose one of three options:

1. Getting angry and lashing out at others
2. Addictive behaviors
3. Going unconscious

I saw myself in the addictive behavior although there are elements of all three in my life. I had been noticing that I was interrupting my work flow constantly to have another snack, or make another cup of tea.

So I have been making a list of all the things I feel worried about, those long-standing issues that remain unresolved:
Money owed
Tax debt
Lack of health insurance
My weight
Lack of exercise
Never enough time
Things that need to be done
Etc.

All the usual kinds of things that people have in their bag of concerns.

The thing to do according to Pema Chodron is just to notice the discomfort and just to be with it. That means no running for a snack! Interesting. Just being with the feeling of discomfort and allowing it to be present.

It’s not a matter of throwing away, or even resolving a stressful issue. It is more a matter of letting go of my desire to feel safe and comfortable, my need to look good, my need to be in control.

Last year I threw away guilt… that is to say I just let it fall like a cloak falling off my shoulders and lying in a heap on the ground. I walked away thinking, “Guilt, Boy! That sure was a waste of time and energy!”

Maybe this year I can let go of clinging to comfort. It is such a natural thing, as babies we want to be held, fed, protected and cared for. And all of these are important for our early survival. But there comes a day when the child can let go of some of that clinging and find their own sustenance. Of course the first thing the child does is try to find some place of comfort.

Can I grow beyond this mindset? To achieve a state of being beyond my little self with all her little needs and desires? Can I walk out beyond my safe boundaries and be with whatever I may experience?

I give myself permission now to be naked (kind of like Venus on the half shell) I see myself allowing it all to fall away, my true self revealed.

An Energy Exercise You Can Use Right Now

2010-03-14T11:40:00.002-05:00

"Moving Ahead In Joy!"©2004 Richard Ross. All rights reserved.

Emotional Freedom & Healing

This process can be used to move forward in any (or every) area of your life. It can also be used to transform your present situation into a better one, and it can be used to clear away any seeming resistance or challenge to taking your next big step in the world.

Prior to beginning the technique simply put your attention on the situation or area you wish to transform or manifest, and begin as follows:

1. Locate a tender or sensitive spot on left side of chest. For most of us it is somewhere beneath the collarbone and above the breast area on the left side. Find the spot on yourself by pressing, using one or two fingers, around this area until you find the spot that is more tender or sensitive than the area around it.

While rubbing that spot continuously in a small circle, repeat the following out loud: "I affirm that I______, am ready, willing, and able to move forward in my life right now. I know that I am ready. I clear away any resistance or fear thoughts that would prevent me from fully moving to the highest possible level right now. I ask the Universe, God, Spirit, Angels, Gurus and Ancestors to assist me in every way possible to move forward in my life.... right now!"

Keep rubbing until you feel ready to stop, then still holding the spot take a full breath in and out.

2. Tap lightly on the inside end of both eyebrows, the ends near bridge of nose, and repeat out loud: "I attract abundant goodness into my life now and I am at peace as this process unfolds."

Keep tapping until you feel ready to stop, then still holding those spots take a full breath in and out.

3. Tap lightly on outside sides of both eyes, on bone near temple and repeat out loud: "I send these requests out to the world in many ways and everyone I meet assists me to live my highest vision."

Keep tapping until you feel ready to stop, then still holding that spot take a full breath in and out.

4. Tap lightly under both eyes on bone, and repeat out loud: "Previous patterns have no power over me now. I am healing them as I say these very words. Healing is happening for me on a very deep level now.

"Keep tapping until you feel ready to stop, then still holding that spot take a full breath in and out.

5. Tap lightly under nose (above upper lip) and repeat out loud: "I am discovering daily just how much I have to be grateful for. As I vibrate with this positive energy, I become a magnet for more and more goodness in my life right now."

Keep tapping until you feel ready to stop, then still holding that spot take a full breath in and out.

6. Tap lightly under bottom lip (in crease before chin begins) and repeat out loud: "All my life is becoming more joyful on every level and all the forces of the Universe are supporting me in my intention. Everything is coming to me easily and effortlessly!"

Keep tapping until you feel ready to stop, then still holding that spot take a full breath in and out.

7. Now this is the most important step. Spend at least five minutes, with your eyes closed, and visualize the specific area you want to transform (or all areas) exactly as you want it to be. Experience it as though it has already happened. Feel all the positive feelings.

Touch the textures, hear the sounds, feel the feelings. Make it a full multi-sensory experience as though it were all happening right now.

8. Take a moment to breathe deeply, reflect again on how you are feeling right now. Give thanks for the healing that has happened, and for the new creations that already in process.

Repeat daily (or frequently) until your goal/desire creates or transforms. You may repeat the process at other times for any other situation you wish to create or transform.

Nothing Was Withheld

2010-01-09T15:40:00.004-05:00

Dear One,
We love you, and we have always been with you, hand delivering whatever you need to learn, or be inspired by.

Nothing was withheld from you in terms of education or learning experience. You have chosen to be self-taught and to take your inspiration from a wide field of teachers.

Integrating all of that into everything you do and everything you create has been your challenge.

Your Angels.

Trust the impulses of your heart.

2009-09-27T10:26:00.004-05:00

Dear One,
We love you, and we honor your creative process. Trust in your creative impulses and take the time to make your ideas manifest.

It is one more way in which you have become "too busy", and could relax and allow things to take a more natural course. Creativity has always been a healing path for you.

Trust the impulses of your heart.

Your Angels

Be Willing to Listen

2009-09-24T09:28:00.005-05:00

Dear One,
We love you and we are always by your side. No matter where you go, you are never alone, and you can always call on us for guidance.

You notice the big shift your life has taken in the past year. It is no accident. You have now opened yourself up to a higher octave of learning. Because you are willing to listen, there is no need to shout. The messages will come through more clearly as you are willing to accept and integrate them into your life.

The important thing is to be fully present in each moment as much as possible, so that when the messages come through you can be fully aware of them, and speak or write them right away. Don't sit on them! Be prepared to speak your truth!

Place your full trust in the goodness of this world, and bless all that you see, however painful or difficult it may look on the outside. Know that God's love and compassion is within each individual as they learn about love. Eventually it will come to full blossom as they open their hearts.
Your Angels

Understanding How Precious You Are

2009-07-17T13:26:00.004-05:00

Dear One,
We love you and we are so happy that you remembered us. We love it when you remember us because we are always here with you, and we are always loving you.

We watch over you as lovingly as any mother watches over her toddler. We give you space to explore the world on your own. But we are always close enough to catch you if you stumble.

You have been growing so well lately and learning how to manifest the life that you want. Finally you have shed the tired old clothing of shame, guilt and feeling inadequate that you wore for so long. Finally you understand that we are here for you. We are always here for you, have always been, will always be.

You are taking good care of yourself now, and finally understanding how precious you are, how important your feelings are, how carefully you must guard your inner harmony and well-being.

Dear One, we are so happy when you say that you are grateful for your life, and for your body. Your gratitude bubbles like a happy stream through your body, and you drink in the beauty of your surroundings.

You are blessed dear one, with loving family and friends who inspire and comfort you.
Thank you dear one, thank you for listening.
Your Angels

Soak Up the Goodness

2009-07-04T09:15:00.004-05:00

Dear One,
We love you, and we are glad that you are enjoying this magical time. Soak up the goodness of these beautiful days, and store it up in your cells. It is better than any supplement.

Be good to yourself and those around you, giving fully of your own attention and care to your own wellbeing as you do for everyone else.

Trust that in time the seeds you plant (in the garden, and in your creative work)will grow and develop over time. You cannot force the outcome, just till and water the garden.

Trust that these words are meant for you, and also may be of service to others.

You are loved and blessed always.
Your Angels

The Answers to Your Questions Are Always Available

2009-06-28T11:21:00.005-05:00

Dear One,
We love you, and we are always here for you. The answers to your questions are always available, but you may have difficulty discerning them because there is so much going on in your environment and in your mind.

When you have a question write it down. Spend time thinking about your question. Be open to any ideas that come into your mind. Keep track of the ideas and begin to implement them. Keep a seperate notebook for money questions, health questions, pet related, etc.
Your Angels

Wealth

2009-04-12T12:32:00.007-05:00

The wealth of happiness card in my Tarot deck is the ten of cups. The picture shows ten goblets overflowing with a sparkling, bubbling liquid. Last time I threw the cards I got the nine and the ten of cups and I knew that this was it, that my life had finally reached some pinnacle of joy that I had been seeking all my life.

It seems a bit strange because in so many ways I have failed to accomplish or acquire the things that I once thought would make me happy. I am alone a lot, but it has brought me more stable emotions, and a clearer sense of my own voice.

I live in a beautiful place. This morning I carried my tea out to the meadow where my two beagles like to race around sniffing out rabbits. The sky was the most heavenly shade of blue. The grey woods now have a haze of green leaves budding, and splashes of white dogwood and pink redbud.

The grass in the meadow is old and yellow from last year, but everywhere the new grass is shooting up and creating an undercarpet of green.

I sat out on my favorite log and drank my tea. There is a huge contentment in my soul, and all I could think of to say to God was "Thank you!" I marvel at how my life brings me what I need each day. The more I trust it, the easier it gets just to stay open to receive what comes, and also to stay open to lose what goes.

My whole life seems like such a miracle to me, the incredible beauty of this North Carolina spring, my own ability to heal and grow, my family and my dogs and cats, my work, my clients and my friends. Having work I love is a great blessing. I marvel at the crooked path that brought me to this place and time.

Morning Has Broken

2009-03-30T09:00:00.007-05:00

Morning has broken, like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
Praise for the springing fresh from the word

Sweet the rain's new fall, sunlit from heaven
Like the first dewfall, on the first grass
Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden
Sprung in completeness where his feet pass

Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning
Born of the one light, Eden saw play
Praise with elation, praise every morning
God's recreation of the new day
-- lyrics by Eleanor Farjeon

All Creatures of Our God and King

2009-03-30T08:40:00.006-05:00

Praise With Elation

2009-03-30T08:31:00.004-05:00

Dear One,
We love you, and it is a lovely day to be alive. Spring comes calling, and the air is filled with the energy of renewal.

Leaves are beginning to bud.
Some trees are blossoming.
Daffodils, tulips and hyacinth are all up.
The grass has turned bright green.
There is twiitering and chirping in every tree.
The sky is a fresh washed shade of blue.
Now the honking of geese.

At last you know that there is only one truth.

What is the one truth that you know?

Life in harmony with nature is incredibly sweet.
It is our true nature to be happy and loving.

Praise the creation of such goodness!

A Quiet Bubbling Joy

2008-08-16T14:06:00.004-05:00

Dear One,
We love you, and we are glad you feel so content. A quiet bubbling joy comes after a time of clearing out and calm. It is like you need to clear the space and allow it to be empty. Then from somewhere deep inside you find something new flowing in, flowing through you, like an underground stream deep in a cave.
Your Angels

Living Your Own Truth

2008-08-16T13:58:00.004-05:00

Dear One,
We love you, and we value you for who you are. Your path in this life has always been unique, and not always easy. Still, you saw the value of living your own truth from an early age.

Now you have an understanding of life that opens up new territory to explore. It took everything that you have been through to get you to where you are now. So there is no need to apologize, or take on any feelings of guilt or shame.

Each path must run its course until the soul comes to an understanding and love of itself, and a compassion for others.
Your Angels

Your Ongoing Creativety and Joy

2008-08-12T08:08:00.006-05:00

Dear One,
We love you, and we hope you will continue to write every day. Your life is so busy now but still it is essential for you to find time to center yourself each morning.

The shaping and transforming of your life is in the day to day, moment by moment choices that you make. To make the right choices you need to be fully aware, calm and relaxed, and clear about what you want. You need to shed all of the limiting emotions like fear, guilt and shame. You can stay open with an attitude of gratitude, and calm acceptance of whatever happens.

In this zone you will choose what is best for yourself and your family. You can heal yourself, your ancestors, and your descendants. You can affect everyone around you. And you can create an environment that supports your ongoing creativety and joy.

Your Angels

Peacefulness Emanates From Your Center

2008-07-12T11:55:00.005-05:00

Dear One,
We love you, and we wish you well today. Starting each morning with a writing meditation really helps you to keep centered all day.

What is so important to remember is that the vibration is coming from you. If you are putting out a very negative vibe then that is what you will experience throughout your day.

Your own calmness permeates your house and affects everyone around you. Peacefulness emanates from your center. It is not that things outside of yourself cause you to be calm or peaceful.
Your Angels

Celebrate The Beauty of Life

2008-07-12T11:42:00.003-05:00

Dear One,
We love you, and we celebrate the beauty of life with you. Sunlight and moonlight, beauty surrounds you. As you slow down you can deepen your connection to the natural world. There is great wisdom in nature.

Look for solutions to your problems by observing what is going on around you. The answers are all there. Write down some questions, and then spend some time waiting and watching for the answers.
Your Angels

Tune Into A Deeper Vibration

2008-07-12T05:59:00.008-05:00

Dear One,
We love you, and you are lucky. You are blessed... to wake up to another dawn, another Spring, another lifetime. Going away from home you really appreciate the serenity and beauty of where you live.

In this space your soul awareness has grown, and you are able to tune into a deeper vibration. Keep your attention focused on that, because it anchors your life.

Your Angels

Take Care of Yourself

2008-07-12T05:31:00.006-05:00

Dear One,
We love you, and we encourage you to stay calm even when others are pushing you to get involved in their issues.

Stress is like a toxin in your body. If you need to make changes in your schedule and commitments, do it from a place of calm centeredness, not just out of anxiety. The important thing is to take care of yourself in a way that empowers you to feel centered throughout your day.

Your Angels

Every Moment is a Miracle

2008-06-29T07:25:00.005-05:00

Dear One,
We love you, and we encourage you to stay calm and greet each day with joy, like the birds.

In this moment, this beautiful morning, you have everything you need, and everyone you love. Your worries are about things that have not happened. Your life is so blessed, still you wake up complaining. Let it go. Every moment is a miracle, and in every moment you are blessed.

Come back to your center and breathe. Find your self once again. This is the foundation of your life, this wisp of air flowing in and out. This is all that connects you to the earth, and maintains your existence... just a puff of air. Breathe and you are here, stop breathing and your connection to this body will be all over. Treasure your experience of each moment.

Your Angels

A Great Deal Depends on Your Internal State

2008-06-24T15:04:00.005-05:00

Dear One,
We love you, and we have the highest aspirations for you.

In every situation that you experience, a great deal depends on your internal state; that is, your experience is conditioned by your own thoughts and emotions. Ten people may all share the same experince in time and space, but each one will have perceived things differently. Their individual memories of the event will all be colored by their own state of mind and emotions.

As you improve your own internal state, your overall experience of life will improve also. You may still have to go through difficult experiences but you will experience them with more joy and in a more relaxed state of being.

Since you have relaxed more you have become happier and more accepting of other people.

Your Angels

Relax Deeply and Trust

2008-06-24T14:50:00.007-05:00

Dear One,

We love you, and we are watching over you.

Your life is a maitrix of relationships, not just with the people in your environment, but also with the plants and animals, and spirits around you. In your present living situation you have opened yourself to the natural environment more than ever before in your life. In this place you can relax deeply and trust.

Use this time to experience yourself on a different level. Once again go deeper on your breath and see what happens.

Your Angels

Every Day Is Filled With Gifts

2008-06-17T15:59:00.006-05:00

Dear One,
We love you, and we hope can find joy in every moment. Today and every day is filled with gifts of love for you and your family. Be sure to pay attention, so nothing is missed. Be watching and listening for our gifts, messages and lessons.
Your Angels

Be Committed To Your Own Wellbeing

2008-06-10T10:02:00.004-05:00

Dear One,
We love you, and we hope you find a way to have it all.

There are so many choices to make every day, and they accumulate over a lifetime. You tend to always choose what you think is best for your family, but you sometimes neglect to think about what is best for you. You haven't always taken the best care of your body, pushing yourself to a place of exhaustion.

The choices you make now will affect you for the rest of your life. You must make healthy choices now if you want to be healthy in your old age. So we encourage you to be more committed to your own wellbeing.

Your Angels

Being Very Present to the Moment

2008-06-10T05:44:00.005-05:00

Dear One,
We love you, and we are glad that you are getting stronger. Making healthy decisions day after day will make a huge difference to your physical condition.

You are gradually achieving a state of deep relaxation and being very present to the moment.

The mind cannot take you there. When you are deeply relaxed the mind must let go and be silent. From there you can go deeper just riding on your breath, let go of expectation, (the mind will still try to make it into something). If thoughts arise you do not need to hold onto them.

Your Angels

Beauty Is All Around You

2008-06-10T05:39:00.005-05:00

Dear One,
We love you, and beauty is all around you.

How wonderful it is to be able to live in the natural world. It is your true nature to be as wild and free as the deer and the birds. You are part of nature in all the same ways that the animals are... you breathe, you walk upon the earth, you eat and sleep just like they do. The only thing that makes you feel different or separate are the creations of your mind. It is not the body that needs to be tamed, it is the mind.

Your Angels

Open Up The Door to Spirit

2008-05-24T06:21:00.005-05:00

Dear One,
We love you, and we love your enthusiasm for life. When you open up the door to spirit you can expect many happy surprises. By staying calm and open, even when things seem difficult, you make more powerful and interesting solutions possible.

Today is yet another chance to live the life you love with awareness and eager anticipation. Be open to the many gifts coming your way. Trust that solutions will be found for every challenge that comes up. You are a child of God, and we are always here for you.

Your Angels

Miracles are Happening

2008-05-24T06:12:00.004-05:00

Dear One,

We love you, and miracles are happening. You are waking up to who you really are. You are experiencing the deep joy of your life just as it is.

You see that deepening in place was needed more than change... getting to the heart of the matter, getting to the core of your life. In that place where miracles are created new seeds are growing. Possibilities appear out of nowhere. Within you new ideas and relationships germinate. You are the observer, the nurturing spirit tending the garden, the loving mother protecting her young.

Your Angels

Letting Go With Gratitude

2008-05-24T06:03:00.003-05:00

Dear One,

We love you, and we are happy to help you any way we can. You are being tested in many small ways to help you learn about staying centered.

Life is a tremendous gift, and a beautiful miracle. You are receiving gifts everyday, sometimes in new and surprising ways. Be open to receiving all that is given with gratitude. Be open to letting go with gratitude to the things that leave your life also.

Let it be all the same, with you at the center, watching. Each time you breath in you receive, and then you let go as you breath out. It is the rythm of this life.
With love,
Your Angels

Stay At The Center of Your Life

2008-05-24T05:53:00.004-05:00

Dear One,
We love you, and we celebrate life with you. No matter what happens, we will be with you.

Don't be afraid to rest, or to say no to things that don't interest you. Trust that you are the best one to know what is best for you. Stay at the center of your life.

Your Angels.

Frequent Reminders Are Good

2008-05-17T06:51:00.003-05:00

Dear One,
We love you, and we watch over you. Nothing can happen that is not part of your learning process. Everything that happens is part of your evolution. You are doing fine.

Writing every day is a great way to keep your spiritual growth in the forefront of your mind. Frequent reminders are good. And hopefully in the course of one day you won't get too far off center before you return to a state of calm watching once again. It is important to maintain the overall sense of wellbeing you have achieved.
Your Angels

Release Yourself

2008-05-17T06:43:00.005-05:00

Dear One,
We love you, and we treasure the close relationship we have with you. With each day you have been getting stronger, and more relaxed at the same time. Your internal tensions have been there for a long time. Now you can begin to release yourself from the grips of fear, guilt, shame, and trying to do everything for everybody. Now you can just be. You are all that you need to be.

You must pay attention to your feelings about your work. Things have changed, and you are aware of a need to have more freedom to develop new ideas.
Your Angels

Letting Go

2008-05-17T06:35:00.003-05:00

Dear One,
We love you, and we want you to think of being relaxed as your normal state of being. When you catch yourself waiting to relax, or being to busy to rest, choose to relax right then. Just let it go.

You can accomplish a great deal by letting go. Let go of tensions, negative emotions and thoughts, possessions you don't need, and don't want. You can free up huge amounts of your vital energies this way, and you will have more energy for the things you do want and need in your life.

Don't allow things to cling to you that are not an energetic fit. As you get clearer and more relaxed you will have a stronger sense of your true nature.

You are doing very well right now!

Your Angels

A Relaxed Way to Be

2008-05-17T06:30:00.004-05:00

Dear One,

We love you, and we are glad that you are finding a centered and relaxed way to be. Let this be your normal state that you return to again and again. Being relaxed and well rested has improved your relationships, and the quality of your work. You will live longer and be healthier with this state of beingness.

Your Angels

Become More Aware of Your Inner Life

2008-05-14T06:28:00.005-05:00

Dear One,

We love you, and in all ways wish you well. We are friendly.

You are getting better at sensing our presence and hearing our messages. You have relaxed a lot, and have more time and attention freed up for tuning into your environment.

As you relax and let go of being busy you will become more aware of your inner life.

Your Angels

Pay Attention to How You Feel

2008-05-14T06:21:00.007-05:00

Dear One,

We love you, and appreciate you for who you are.

You are now learning to sense when you are tired, and when you need exercise. You have been conditioned by years of work and school to ignore your own tiredness, restlessness, and other tensions, and just keep working. Now you are paying attention to how you feel, and taking care of your needs for sleep and activity. This is resulting in a more relaxed and rested body, and a more alert mind when you do sit down to work. This is a very good beginning.

Your Angels

A Whole New World Inside Yourself

2008-05-06T07:01:00.004-05:00

Dear One,
We love you, and we enjoy our communications with you.

You are so blessed to live in a beautiful place.
You are so blessed to have a beautiful family.
You are so blessed to be strong and alive.

Your reality is not real. It is shaped by your perceptions, your thoughts, and your emotions. What you call reality is constantly shifting and changing. It is much more fluid than your perceptions allow you to believe.

It is only by slowing down your internal dialogue that you can become aware of the activity of your mind. You are fairly aware of your responses to external things, and now as you are moving your focus inward, you become more aware of your internal responses.

Tensions in your body, and in your mind restrict the flow of chi to your internal organs. Your tensions become like a barrier, actually preventing you from really sensing yourself as part of the environment that flows around you. More and more tension makes it more and more difficult to have authentic interactions with others, or to sense subtle messages from your guides, and from your body.

That is why we have been encouraging you to find ways of being that are peaceful and easy to maintain. Reducing the tension will open up a whole new world inside yourself.
Your Angels

Quiet Alertness

2008-05-05T06:52:00.005-05:00

Dear One,
We love you, and we are here to support you in becoming more mindful, and more relaxed. When you are fully relaxed you actually become more aware of your environment, and more able to process the information of your senses. Your intuition is more able to pick up on subtle information in your environment.

If you watch an animal like a cat you will see how they move between states of high activity, like hunting, and states of quiet alertness in which they lay perfectly still, but the senses are picking up on everything around them.

Your Angels

Get Things Handled

2008-05-02T07:25:00.005-05:00

Dear One,
We love you, and you never stand alone.

Relaxation is a misunderstood concept in your society. It is regarded as something you do after working, or exercise, etc. But what you need is a relaxed state of being to carry you through the day. The body should be free of tensions, and the mind should be calm. Relaxing inwardly, returning again and again to your center, this is a way of being that will serve you best.

Handle the stressors in your life, resolve the problems, and let them go. Keep a list, and get things handled. Reduce life down to the simplest path you can walk to free up your time and energy, and prepare to go more inward.

You can maintain a simple life without much stress, and enjoy yourself much more.
Untie the knots!
Your Angels

Let Things Resolve On Their Own

2008-04-30T07:31:00.005-05:00

Dear One,
We love you and we hope you understand all of the lessons you are working with right now.

Relaxing and destressing are so important as you explore a new way of being in the world. Part of it involves letting things resolve on their own. For too long you have been quick to jump in and try to resolve all issues yourself. You take on too much. Now it is good to let others take some of the responsibility, and we will help you also.

Your main objective needs to be staying calm, centered, and slightly more inwardly focused. You need to first take care of yourself, and your immediate environment. Let the rest of the world take care of itself for the present.

Your Angels

We Are Always Here With You

2008-04-29T14:20:00.006-05:00

Dear One,
We love you, and we watch your progress with interest.

Fear is another emotion that you can let go of. Your fears have nothing to do with reality. In fact they are creating the problems that you are so afraid of. You are much bigger than that, much more than that. You are much more than all of the bills you have paid, or not paid, or all of the money you have earned, or not earned. Fear should never be your prime motivator.

Breath from your center, and wait patiently until you are clear about what you doing. Then take actions that are worthy of who you really are.

Who you really are is so much more than what can be put into words, and your work is so much more valuable than any dollar amount. Think of Van Gogh... no one ever bought his paintings while he was alive. Now think of what he might have earned if he got minimum wages for his work. Now think of what his hourly rate would have been if he was paid at a rate commensurate with the current value of his paintings.

What you can do with your talents is worth a great deal. Don't compromise yourself, or believe that you can be diminshed by money, or the lack thereof. You are not the money you earn, or the bills you pay.

Remember we are always here with you.
Your Angels

Letting Go of Negative Emotions

2008-04-27T20:52:00.003-05:00

Dear One,
We love you, and we congratulate you on your efforts to stay calm and detached under circumstances that are less than ideal.

Letting go of negative emotions… guilt, shame, fear, anger is something you may have to do over and over again as different thoughts and emotions are triggered by different events in your life. If you can identify the feelings as they appear and just let them go. You can remind yourself, “I’m not doing shame any more.” And just let it go. Stop the negative thinking as soon as you can.

Also, you often feel like you have to quickly jump in and solve every problem for other people. This is not necessary, nor is it always in their best interests. Whenever possible, allow them to resolve their problems themselves. And you also should try to resolve your own problems without involving them.

Your Angels

Be Open to a Solution

2008-04-26T07:34:00.005-05:00

Dear One,

We love you, and we love to watch you change and grow.

Life is meant to challenge you, and give you learning opportunities for new growth. Whatever is happening you can assume it is for this purpose, and no other. Therefore the appropriate response is to pay attention and react in an appropriate way. Don't waste time getting angry, or feeling victimized. Since your energies created the situations you find yourself in there is no need to blame anyone or anything else for your problems. You can also take credit for the good things that happen.

Think about some of the situations you currently are dealing with. Look at your emotions and thoughts around the issue... this is what keeps it in place. Keep discarding these reactions until you can see the problem clearly for what it is. Now ask for help, and be open to a solution presenting itself.

Your Angels

The Universe is Friendly

2008-04-26T07:03:00.005-05:00

Dear One,
We love you, and we hope you enjoyed the light show last night. Do you have the courage to get to know us? We are here, present and around you. Are you ready to shift your reality to accommodate us?

There is so much going on around you that you are not fully aware of. You just see hints of their existence - like the deer in the woods. You see their tracks, but you rarely fully experience them. Even the people who live around you, you catch glimpses of them but you don't really know them. At some point you decide they are relatively harmless.

You were thinking tonight that the universe is friendly.
Your Angels

A Slight Change Towards Better

2008-04-25T10:17:00.003-05:00

Dear One,

We love you, and we want to inspire you to do well in your life. Remember when you first asked for help you wanted to raise your consciousness to a new level in order to resolve certain issues in your life, like having more money, and improving your physical condition. Those changes are now in progress even if the shift seems subtle at first.

Even a slight change towards better nutrition and more exercise will result in better physical conditioning over time.

Your Angels

Just Being Is Enough

2008-04-24T09:26:00.003-05:00

Dear One,

We love you, and in all things we wish you well. You are relaxing and opening up to your life in new ways. It takes time to fully relax and be present when you are just letting go of a busy scheduled life.

In nature you will discover a way of just being that is enough. It is enough just to be, and to be calm, observing the world just as it is. You can experience deeper levels of understanding just by letting go of all your thoughts about what you already know.

Your Angels

Pay Attention to the Whispers

2008-04-24T09:20:00.001-05:00

Dear One,

We love you, and we are glad that you are listening to your body. In terms of your health you know what is best for your body but you don’t always choose it. It is important to pay attention to the whispers before things go too far.

What is your body whispering to you now?
Do your best to make the right choices. We love you.

Your Angels

Choose to Relax

2008-04-24T09:14:00.002-05:00

Dear One,
We love you, and we take a personal interest in everything that you do, and every choice that you make.

Each day is different, even though to you it may feel like you are doing the same things over and over; there are always new challenges and new choices.

Even if the same problems present themselves day after day, you can choose to react in a different way. It is in those subtle reactions to things that irritate you that you can choose to just breathe, or choose to relax, and respond with love.
Your Angels

Renewal Is A Great Blessing

2008-04-24T09:03:00.005-05:00

Dear One,

We love you, and we share your love of spring on Earth. Renewal is a great blessing. Times of letting go, and times of rebuilding give you a chance to shed the old and rebuild life anew.

As you know your body is constantly in a process of letting go and rebuilding cells. All kinds of healing are possible through letting go. Letting go of guilt, shame, sadness, regret, and anger creates a clear space for new growth. Old emotions become toxic and need to be cleared from your system.

Keep clearing everything from your personal environment that is not ‘you’. Only keep the things that have a strong positive resonance for you. At the same time release any negative thoughts or beliefs about yourself. Just let it go. You will be amazed at what opens up for you.

Your Angels

Life Is A Joyful Celebration

2008-04-24T08:48:00.001-05:00

Dear One,

We love you, and we celebrate another glorious day with you. There really is a sense now in your family that things are on the right track. Everyone is happier and more relaxed. Each day feels like a celebration, and that is how it should be.

Life is a joyful celebration when you are totally present to the moments as they come. Allow yourself to experience the miracles of being alive, having a body, and all the wonder of creation. Nothing in your life is boring or humdrum if you really see it for what it is. Nothing is static or permanent. Life is an amazing journey, a continuously shifting dance.

Who you are being sets the tone for everything that happens around you. People, animals and plants are very responsive to your body language, the tone of your voice, as well as the ideas you set forth. On a more subtle level the other things in your environment respond as your personal vibration shifts.

Have fun playing your way through today.
Your Angels

Take Optimal Care of Your Body

2008-04-18T07:56:00.005-05:00

Dear One,
We love you, and we understand how things are for you. It will take some time to adjust to your new schedule. As you get stronger it will get easier for you. Take optimal care of your body as it is the only one you have. Eating lots of raw fruits and vegetables has always been a great diet for you. If you find out when the local farmers markets are you can shop there. That will be fun and nutritionally better for your family. Make lots of smoothies and salads.
Your Angels

A Relaxed State of Mind

2008-04-17T06:53:00.004-05:00

Dear One,
We love you, and we hope you see the wisdom of maintaining a relaxed state of mind. Pay attention to the whispers of your soul and you will avoid all kinds of trouble down the road.

If you are calm it is easier to pick up on subtle changes in your own energy, and in your environment, and to respond to them appropriately. You remain quiet but ready to respond.
Your Angels

Adjust to Whatever Comes

2008-04-16T06:56:00.005-05:00

Dear One,
We love you, and we acknowledge your efforts to make things work... you are adaptable.

Change comes in every life. In fact change is constantly happening, as no two moments are ever exactly the same. You must continually adjust to whatever comes.

Resistance makes it difficult to adjust to change without being thrown off balance. That is why a calm and centered state of being is the best way to be prepared for life. From a calm place you can make better choices. Even if you get thrown off balance for a moment you can return to your center again. Practice remembering to breath instead of reacting with upset when your anger is triggered.
Your Angels

More Time To Breathe

2008-04-15T08:05:00.004-05:00

Dear One,
We love you, and we love how you are getting clearer every day. The more you relax, the easier it is for you to see which way your life should go. Certain choices just feel right, and you will find yourself getting healthier and stronger. There is already much more harmony in your relationships.

Also you need more time to breathe and allow new ideas to present themselves. This can only happen when you are calm, and your mind is quiet.
Your Angels

Doing the Things You Love

2008-04-14T07:54:00.005-05:00

Dear One,
We love you, and we are happy to see you living more in harmony with your life. You are waking up to more joy, and more possibility. And this will increase as you relax and get more in touch with yourself.

Stress comes about when you are forcing yourself to do things you don't really want to do. This is a big source of stress for most people. The antidote of course is to spend more time doing the things you love. Choices you make to simplify your life will result in more free time to explore what works for you. It always boils down to the choices you make.
Your Angels

Love the People You Are With

2008-04-13T07:04:00.003-05:00

Dear One,
We love you, and we hope you see the wisdom of living a quiet life without too much stress.

Being peaceful has really helped you to find yourself, and to hear our voice. It is easier to let go of the things that aren't "you". once you get very clear about who you are.

The important thing is to love the people you are with, and to make sure they know how much you care for them.

You wonder if you should get involved in some kind of volunteer effort. If you see a need and you want to respond to it, of course. But there is no need to force the issue. The challenges that are yours will come to you.
Your Angels

This Is A Beneficent Universe

2008-04-12T05:22:00.006-05:00

Dear One,
We love you, and we wish you well. We are happy that you are beginning to accept whatever happens as being for your own good. This is a beneficent universe. We are here to help you.

Part of staying relaxed and open is knowing that it is all part of a divine plan, a divine play. When someone is playing tennis they don't get mad at their opponent for lobbing balls at them - they jump in and respond to each ball as it comes across the net. Decisions must be made quickly to keep the ball in motion. You need to be alert, and present in the moment with a calm and accepting attitude towards whatever comes to you.
Your Angels

Blessed With an Abundance of Angels

2008-04-10T06:45:00.004-05:00

Dear One,
We love you, and we want you to have an abundance of all good things. Your life is very full right now, but you can be assured that we are looking out for you every minute of every day. You are blessed with an abundance of angels!

You are becoming more aware of how you spend your time, and how important those choices are to your overall health and well being. Breath gently until you are in a calm and relaxed state. Let go of any worries or thoughts.
Your Angels

Trust In Life As A Blessing

2008-04-09T06:23:00.005-05:00

Dear one,
We love you, and we are glad that you are learning to trust in life as a blessing.

Each day brings its challenges, and you can try each day to be more mindful of how you choose to act, and what you choose to say. Often you react with anger or harsh words without even thinking. The ego is very reactive. This is normal. Just recognize it for what it is, and it will disappear. Plug into your breathing rather than your ego. Observe where you are reactive. Conscious breathing allows you to let go of the emotions and thoughts that caused the reaction.

This can be taught to children also.
Your Angels

Happiness Is Very Important for Good Health

2008-04-08T06:46:00.003-05:00

Dear One,
We love you, and we want you to enjoy your life. Happiness is very important for good health. How is it that one person can be so happy with just a little, and another person cannot be happy who has plenty? Happiness has to come from inside of you, and be maintained by your happy thoughts and feelings of gratitude.

Happy feelings are calm, acceptance, gratitude, joy, feeling loved, feeling lovable, feeling loving, wonder and enthusiasm.

You are able to catch yourself sooner now when you spin off into an unhappy emotion, and bring yourself back to your center just with your breathing. It is getting easier to maintain that calm center as a reference point, and to come back to it by letting go of an upset and breathing for a few moments without any thoughts.

Longer periods of calm gives your body a chance to heal from stress and let go of tension.
Your Angels

It Begins With You

2008-04-07T05:25:00.004-05:00

Dear One,

We love you, and we thank you for being so enthusiastic about your life.

The human experience is nothing short of a miracle. As you appreciate the beauty of the earth you send deep messages of love and gratitude to your soul.

You were taught to be very cautious about showing approval and enthusiasm to other people. You can let that go. You are surprised when you see other people able to open up, and openly express their feelings. There is much to heal in your family. And it begins with you.

Your Angels

A Kind of Internal Knowing

2008-04-06T07:02:00.005-05:00

Dear One,
We love you, and we are happy that you are feeling that we are real. You know that some things have changed in your life. The orbs are appearing very frequently in your photographs in many different settings. Your writing has changed completely.

There is a kind of internal knowing, and you have felt the shift in yourself and in your life. You are prepared to let go of many things that you were clinging to before. Your interests are shifting.

You are aligning yourself with a frequency that is different from your previous alignment. This will open up many new possibilities for yourself, and for your family.
Your Angels

A Very Clear Vision

2008-04-05T08:17:00.005-05:00

Dear One,
We love and support you through all of your changes. You are ready now to make some essential changes in your life, and we are here to guide you day by day.

The changes you are about to make will affect your family for generations to come because you will change not just your current lifestyle but also the understanding of your little one.

Yesterday you experienced an idea suddenly coming into being while you were meditating. It wasn't just your usual random thoughts while trying to meditate. There was total silence and just breathing, and suddenly you had a very clear vision of something you could do. It was like a flower suddenly blooming where none had been before.

Major change comes about as a result of making many small choices. You can transform the way you live.
Your Angels

The Point of Stillness

2008-04-04T04:27:00.004-05:00

Dear One,
We love you, and just breathing without thought is a good way to find that stillness.

Out of the stillness ideas arise. Within your breathing is the point of stillness, the gateway through which something new can come into being. No effort is required beyond stilling the mind to allow an opening for spirit.

In the breathing, moment to moment you will find a blissful calm.
Your Angels

Focus Your Energies

2008-04-03T17:03:00.006-05:00

Dear One,

We love you, and we long to explain to you all the workings of the universe. However we are constrained by your language, and your ability to understand some concepts. So it may seem as if we are always talking about very simple things.

We are trying to steer you in the right direction without overwhelming you. For now it is important that you stay grounded in your current reality. You are changing quickly even though from the outside the changes would appear to be minor. The transformation goes deep into who you are. You will never go back to who you were six months ago.

Right now you are learning how to stay in a certain zone, not getting too far from your calm center, and keeping your environment calm also. This alone is a huge challenge.

Daily writing from spirit reminds you each day where to focus your energies. Walk the path one step at a time, one breath at a time. The way will open up.

Your Angels

Be the Breath

2008-04-02T10:35:00.006-05:00

Dear One,
We love you, and we are glad that you are beginning to understand about breathing, and how it connects you to your spiritual self.

Just by breathing in a conscious way you can reconnect at any moment. It is as simple as that. So simple it is often completely overlooked. Don't try to understand it with your mind because just thinking about it will block the process. Let yourself be the breath.

Keep life very simple. Keep your space very clean. Eat pure and simple foods that nourish your body. And breath.
Your Angels

Get Your Life In Order

2008-04-01T06:25:00.006-05:00

Dear One,
We love you, and we hope you are happy today. It is good to get your life in order. It frees up your mind from worries, and creates more space for something new and better to come into your life.

Keep clearing away everything that you don't need, don't want, or don't like. Many things you hold onto just in case you might need them sometime in the future, or because they have some sentimental ties to the past. Simplify your life down to the bones. You know which things you actually use.
Your Angels

Love Is What Really Matters

2008-03-31T22:17:00.003-05:00

Dear One,
We love you, and love is what really matters.

You need to go back to the feng shui of your office, and making nourishing meals. You have the writing part working well. The feng shui of the office improved considerably but you are still neglecting the cooking of nourishing meals.

The writing has changed your life the most since we began in January. You are learning how to write from your spirit rather than from your ego. This frees you up from your story so there is no need to hold onto, and keep recreating the past.

Keep letting go until your life is easily manageable, and you are doing the things you care about the most. Keep organizing what you have left until your environment is beautiful and easy to maintain. Keep nourishing your body until it glows with good health. Open the way for new and wonderful experiences to come into your life.
Your Angels

Be Still and Breathe.

2008-03-30T06:39:00.006-05:00

Dear One,
We love you, and in your breath you will find your strongest connection to Spirit. Relax. Be still and breathe.

Taking time every morning to listen and write has been the best thing for you in terms of transforming your life. In the stillness you find the inspiration for your whole day. It feeds your soul.
Your Angels

Letting Go, A Little Bit Each Day

2008-03-29T06:14:00.004-05:00

Dear One,
We love you, and we are so happy that you are willing to try out new ideas. Opening your life up to spirit requires a certain anount of letting go. You are moving into new territory, and that can be exciting and scary.

Your biggest fear seems to be that you are not being responsible enough to your family. You don't want to let them down. At the same time, you want to give them your best, and it feels like a deep attunement with spirit is the best that you can give right now.

Peace comes from within, and a peaceful you is definitely more peaceful and loving to others. You feel like you are seeing things very clearly all of a sudden, and you want to share your thoughts with others in a loving way.

Think about letting go a little bit each day. Examine the things in your life and decide if they are serving you now. If they are not serving you now they can be released. It is as simple as that.
Your Angels

Wonder, Gratitude, and a New Sense of Freedom

2008-03-28T06:53:00.008-05:00

Dear One,
We love you, and isn't life magical when you open up to spirit? Life is much easier with a happy heart and a childlike sense of wonder.

It is Spring now, a time of renewal and you are feeling a lot of change and growth in your life. Things have shifted since you began, especially there is more harmony in your heart, and in your home.

Many of the problems are the same, but your attitude has shifted to one of wonder, gratitude and a new sense of freedom. Without all the anxiety, your heart is able to open up to people in a new way. At your core you feel more alive, more tuned in, and more connected.

You wonder what will open up out of this shift? What does spirit have in store for me? What does the universe want from me? All this, and more to be revealed as Spring moves into Summer!

Let Yourself Be Diminished

2008-03-27T06:06:00.004-05:00

Dear One,
We love you, and we hope you are enjoying this beautiful Spring. There is much beauty to be enjoyed everywhere.

Staring at beauty is a wonderful way to loose yourself, and stop the chatter in your head - if only for a moment.

You have been remembering to let go of your attachment to certain angers and hurts from the past. Eckhart Tolle says to let yourself be diminshed. It is good that you are remembering this rather than getting lost in the pain of old wounds.

You worry that you are getting too relaxed, that if you don't maintain a certain amount of tension and anxiety you won't be being really responsible. You can do everything you need to do in your life without worry or tension. In fact you will handle things better without all the anxiety and drama.

Trust that ways will open up out of your calmness.
Your Angels

You Will Come Through This

2008-03-26T08:54:00.005-05:00

Dear One,
We love you, and we understand your fears and worries. You sit here in silence waiting for messages but your body feels like it is getting sick again, and you worry about how you will manage.

Now experience the quiet around you - nothing is happening. You are comfortable, and for the moment all of your needs have been met. You can relax and breathe knowing that we are with you.

Be aware of how much you have, and don't be afraid to let go of the things that appear to be leaving. You will come through this.
Your Angels

Be Loved, Be Loving and Be Lovable

2008-03-25T09:01:00.006-05:00

Dear One,
We love you, and we see that you are healing relationships that you have neglected for a long time. This shows that you are changing from within. You have replaced guilt and shame with gratitude and acceptance.

Consider the quality of each moment, (rather than the quantity) of your life. You have been thinking in terms of time = money for a long time. The quality of each moment is of much greater consequence. Start by becoming very present to the moment. You will sense where your attention needs to focus. Trust that being complete in your relationships is of much more importance than "punching the clock". Remember that the most important thing is the love that people feel for each other. Be loved, be loving and be lovable.

Especially with the child, you can help her to grow by being very present to her own reality. Help her to find her own creative center again.
Your Angels

Each Moment Has Its Choices

2008-03-24T08:56:00.003-05:00

Dear One,
We love you, and we hope you are happy today. Staying fully conscious in the midst of a busy life is your challenge. Each moment has its choices.

You are starting to recognize and enjoy that feeling of calm that happens when you are fully open to the present moment. In each moment you can be fully present, fully loving, and fully accepting. It is a wonderful feeling.
Your Angels

Letting Go

2008-03-23T07:12:00.005-05:00

Dear One,
We love you, and we rejoice that you are feeling strong again. You have let go of a lot during the last few weeks.

Letting go allows your whole being to release what it doesn't need. You have cut loose of several things that you were clinging to out of a sense of scarcity, things that you didn't like, but you were afraid they would be hard to replace. Keep the space around you as fresh and alive as a garden. You love to have flowers, plants and animals around you. It feeds your natural self. Keep everything, including yourself fresh and alive with loving attention to detail.
Your Angels

Fully Experience the "Now" in Your Life

2008-03-22T07:11:00.006-05:00

Dear One,
We love you, and we challenge you to fully experience the "now" in your life.

Here you are, as comfortable as any queen could be, and at this moment with no other desire than to be right here and now, doing what you are doing.

In the silence of this beautiful moment there is gratitude for all of the blessings in your life, gratitude for life itself, gratitude for beauty, gratitude for the good companionship of dogs, for family, for health, for breathing, for fresh daffodils, for paper and pens, and the ability to articulate ideas.

What did it take in the evolution of the planet to get to this moment in time?
Your Angels

Life Feels Like Such a Blessing

2008-03-21T08:29:00.005-05:00

Dear One,
We love you and we hope you are ready for new adventures today.

You can learn a lot from your animals about trust and healing. Most animals in this world just rely on the natural healing ability of their bodies. Humans complicate things a lot with thinking and knowledge but at the basis of it all the body either heals itself, or it doesn't.

What is the process that brings about healing? How does a healthy body keep from getting sick? Your health and vitality bubble up from your soul. Even if you understand all of the processes of the body, it is still just the vehicle by which your soul comes into this reality. When the soul is ready to move on, the body is released, and death is inevitable.

When you were sick you were wondering, "Am I going to die?" It felt like a possibility... yet here you are two weeks later full of strength and vitality. Life feels like such a blessing. Even things you complained about before you got sick just seem trivial now.

Appreciate and enjoy every moment for being alive is a great adventure. You can regard it as a week's vacation in Disney World. Leave your worries and anxieties behind, and just play with the experiences that come your way.

Don't worry about death because we will be with you then, as we are now... but you will see us then. Don't worry even for the ones you leave behind because they too are always loved and protected.
Your Angels

I Can Be At Peace With This Now

2008-03-20T09:02:00.006-05:00

Dear One,
We love you, and we are always with you. Another day, another opportunity to practice being conscious.

Yesterday you got quite annoyed when things didn't work out the way you thought they should. You had certain ideas about how everyone should act, and when they didn't, you felt tired and discouraged.

Relax and be present to what is. Pay attention in the now and release your judgements.
"I can be at peace with this now."

Focus on being loving and giving in the present moment.
Your Angels

Practice Being Calm

2008-03-19T09:43:00.004-05:00

Dear One,
We love you, and we are happy to see you healthy again.

Each day brings new challenges. You can't always foresee what will come at you next. But you can prepare by practicing being calm and centered throughout the day. This is your best security.

Think of how you feel today, healthy, and well rested, calm, prepared to meet whatever challenges come your way. This can be a benchmark for you. Try to stay within this state of being as much as possible, and to be aware of when you are feeling too tired or stressed.
Your Angels

Become Conscious of the "Pain-Body"

2008-03-18T09:18:00.008-05:00

Dear One,
We love you, and we are beside you today, as always. When you think about healing yourself remember that whatever you do affects not only yourself but your ancestors and decendants for multiple generations. That is why it is so important to become conscious of the "pain-body".

Look at your last two generations of ancestors and you will see how deeply their lives were affected by the two world wars, money and food shortages, physical injuries, and class prejudice. Emotional residue of all of these wounds are part of your own pain-body.
Your Angels

Note: Definition of the pain-body from Eckhart Tolle's The New Earth, Page 142:
"The remnants of pain left behind by every strong negative emotion that is not fully faced, accepted, and then let go of join together to form an energy field that lives in the very cells of your body."

The Calm Joy of Just Being

2008-03-17T08:52:00.005-05:00

Dear One,
We love you, and our love is always with you. You need to understand that when things are difficult like this it is to bring about changes that need to happen. You knew that the situation was getting difficult many months ago. You have felt the stress on your body and mind.

You can take better care of yourself, and speak up sooner when you feel stressed.

We want you to experience more of the calm joy of just being without all the worries, cares and pressures. Calm being is just a moment to moment experience, a combination of feeling whole and healthy, being in a calm environment, and being able to let go of all thinking one moment at a time.

Your Angels

An Attitude of Gratitude and Giving

2008-03-16T07:46:00.005-05:00

Dear One,
We love you, and we are happy that you feel excited about giving. You have always had a generous heart.

For now focus on giving your full loving attention to each person, animal and plant that comes across your path. An attitude of gratitude and giving will be the most healing for your heart.

Giving doesn't have to be big things like new cars and plasma TV's. Giving can be just a kind word, a hug, a letter etc. Just try to be alert about the needs of others.
Your Angels

It Has To Come From Within You

2008-03-15T08:52:00.005-05:00

Dear One,
We love you, and we applaud you for trying once again to clean up. You have to keep going; establishing order where now there is only chaos.

It is the same with your thoughts... a strong affirmation like, "I choose to be at peace with what is now." can hold back a chaos of thoughts, and give you a moment of stillness, but as soon as the mind wanders the chaos begins anew.

Building peace around you takes many efforts, finding the peaceful center inside of yourself, finding harmony and tranquility in your body, taming your thoughts, creating a peaceful environment to support your inner peace. It has to come from within you, and radiate outward into the world.
Your Angels

Listen and Act On Your Inner Knowing

2008-03-14T07:00:00.009-05:00

Dear One,

We love you, and we are glad to have you waking up, almost better, ready to face the day with some energy. We trust that you are doing what is best for you now. You can't always tell what the outcome of any given action will be, but learning to listen and act on your inner knowing is very important.

When you were sick you felt a connection between your illness, and your anger and resentment. Just before you got sick you wrote a piece that summed up all of your personal frustration with the home situation. Then as you lay sick for several days the chaos in the house got greater and greater. You felt even more anger but also too sick to change the situation. As you gradually got better you began to sort things out, and that improved your mood.

Eckhart Tolle had a great description of the thoughts underlying unhappiness, the feeling of discontent or background resentment:

"There is something that needs to happen in my life before I can be at peace (happy, fulfilled), and I resent that it hasn't happened yet. Maybe my resentment will finally make it happen."

"Something happened in the past that should not have happened, and I resent that. If that hadn't happened I would be at peace now."

"Something is happeneing now that should not be happening and it is preventing me from being at peace now."

"You should do this or that so that I can be at peace. And I resent that you haven't done it yet. Maybe my resentment will make you do it."

"What you are doing or failing to do now is preventing me from being at peace."

You can choose to be here now. You can choose what is. You can choose to be at peace with what is now.
Your Angels

Be At Peace With Yourself

2008-03-13T05:01:00.003-05:00

Dear One,
We love you, and we hope you are feeling better. Be confident that we will be with you through all of your changes. They are all changes that will improve your life in the long run.

You have much that you can teach the little one, and we will help you with that. Get rid of things that are old and broken, they are not good for you to have in your environment. Try to get anything like that out of the house.

Be at peace with yourself. There is no freedom in guilt and shame, and no reason for you to wear those emotions. Don't let anything old and broken cling to you, or anyone in the family - be vigilant about that.

We want only the best and what is good for you.
Love,
Your Angels

Find Your Own Renewal

2008-03-13T04:45:00.003-05:00

Dear One,
We love you, and we know things will go well for you today.

You are listening with more confidence to our messages, and seeing the results in your life. We are always here with you.

Do a little exercise today. You need to get stronger after being sick for so many days.

Spring has now begun with so lots of flowers coming up. Around you are signs of renewal everywhere. Use them to find your own renewal. Life is good. Let's do some painting with water colors!
Your Angels

Ask For Help If You Need It

2008-03-11T07:28:00.003-05:00

Dear One,
You are up against what you see as major challenges today but don't be afraid to ask for help if you need it. Your friends will help you.

You have been operating without a real plan for a long time. It is time to make one. Make it as real and detailed and all inclusive as you can. You need to make some powerful choices for yourself and your future.

Make a list of all the things you want to do, and make a plan to do them, and to enjoy them in the next ten years.
Your Angels

Health Feels Like a Miracle

2008-03-11T07:21:00.004-05:00

Dear One,
We love you, and we hope you are feeling better. Health starts to return, and it always feels like a miracle. The beauty of the earth seems twice as lovely today. It is almost Springtime!

Let yourself recover slowly. Now is a good time to make some new choices for taking care of your body. You are going to need it for a long time to come.

Remember that the most important thing you can do each day is to treat everyone with a lot of love and kindness. Just pour it on, it won't be unappreciated.
Your Angels

We Are Right Here

2008-03-09T08:41:00.005-05:00

Dear One,
We love you, and we are staying close by in case you need anything. Your body is exhausted by being sick, and your heart is saddened by the death of your friend. You feel like you are drowning, but we are right here.

Sometimes life is overwhelming... sickness, grief, loneliness... you have experienced your share.
Your Angels

Death is Just Another Graduation

2008-03-09T08:33:00.004-05:00

Dear One,
We love you, and we wish to comfort you. Death is not easy no matter how much you believe in life after death... there are still so many goodbyes, and the finality of their going, as well as the end of that person's time on earth. Once it is over, it is over.

Look at how people cry at graduations. Death is just another graduation, but they still cry.

Your body is not immortal, and you should be prepared to go at any moment as you don't neccessarily get any warning.
Your Angels

Take Care of Yourself

2008-03-09T08:28:00.005-05:00

Dear One,
We love you, and we hope we can be supportive of you today. Letting go is not easy, and you must do better at finding ways to be there for everyone without neglecting yourself.

Practice noticing when your body is getting tired, and taking care of it.
Your Angels

You Are Free To Make Different Choices

2008-03-08T10:23:00.005-05:00

Dear one,
We love you, and we are here for you always. You keep hoping, or maybe even expecting that life will get easier; that one day you will hit on a magic formula and suddenly your life will be much smoother. That is not what we are here for. We are angels, not magic genies!

You wake up every morning and wish that things would change. At the same time you continue to follow the same old patterns and routines everyday. You are free to make different choices. Where you are today is the sum total of every choice you have made in your life this far.

To reach a different place you can begin today to make different decisions. If you want to loose weight and be thinner tomorrow, you need to eat less sweet stuff, and exercise more today. If you want to have more money in the bank you need to earn more, save more and spend less. You are in complete control of all of these things. And you know what needs to be done to make it happen.

However, that being said... we think you are doing a great job at making powerful changes in your environment since January. The house is running very smoothly, and overall you are feeling better. Even other folks at home have been making more effort to keep things tidy.
Your Angels
