Be Willing to Listen


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.

Wealth

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.

Praise With Elation


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!

Life Is A Joyful Celebration

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

Happiness Is Very Important for Good Health

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

Be A Happiness Fool


Latest research seems to point to optimism as being the attitude of winners. In the long run, and no matter what happens to you it is always better to face life with a positive attitude. Two people can experience the same event in two entirely different ways with entirely different effects on their bodies and minds. So the rule of thumb is positive self-talk. No matter what happens tell yourself why this is a good thing, and watch your life transform.
Positive self-talk is known to positively affects your heart and other body functions. Apparently we are easily fooled, and in this case it is really great to be a happiness fool.
These are some of the things that bring me happiness:
companionship & communication
feeling healthy
natural beauty
creating art
children
dogs
making my home nice
spirit
having enough money, food, shelter, clothes etc. and some to share
serendipity & synchronicity ( when the universe talks back to me)
learning and discovery

What makes you happy? Here's a quote I love:

Happiness cannot be found through great effort and willpower, but is already present, in open relaxation and letting go. Don’t strain yourself, there is nothing to do or undo. Whatever momentarily arises in the body-mind has No real importance at all, has little reality whatsoever. Why identify with, and become attached to it, passing judgment upon it and ourselves? Far better to simply let the entire game happen on its own, springing up and falling back like waves, without changing or manipulating anything and notice how everything vanishes and reappears, magically, again and again, time without end. Only our searching for happiness prevents us from seeing it. It is like a vivid rainbow which you pursue without ever catching, or a dog chasing its own tail. Although peace and happiness do not exist as an actual thing or place, it is always available and accompanies you every instant. Don’t believe in the reality of good and bad experiences; they are like today’s ephemeral weather, like rainbows in the sky. Wanting to grasp the ungraspable, you exhaust yourself in vain. as soon as you open and relax this tight fist of grasping, infinite space is there open, inviting and comfortable. Make use of this spaciousness, this freedom and natural ease. Don’t search any further looking for the great awakened elephant, who is already resting quietly at home in front of your own hearth. Nothing to do or undo, nothing to force, nothing to want, and nothing missing. Emaho! Marvelous! Everything happens by itself. Lama Gendun Rinpoche
