Engage Higher Reason

This week's Message is a lesson for the Soul ~ "Engage Higher Reason".

Are you wasting time wondering how others feel about you?  Are you unsure of what's true and what is just your fear talking?  Are you worked up, testy, and confused - or even angry?  Not to worry.  You're entering that time in your soul's journey where your purpose is to discern fact from fiction and respond to life's challenges in a grounded, orderly fashion.  Rise above the rushing river of your emotions, and engage your reason and logic to better navigate the daunting rapids.

Your soul's purpose right now is to be detached and respond objectively to life.

Your soul's lesson:  Step away from all emotional drama; avoid its addictive lure and see it for the waste it is.  Use your Higher Reason to sort fact from fiction:  Begin by looking at a situation from all sides, which will help organise your thoughts and tap in to your sixth sense.  For example, if you're caught in an endless spiral of conflict with someone, fine-tune the argument by asking, "What do I want to happen, and what's actually occurring instead?  What am I doing to prevent my desired outcome?  What's the first step to take in order to move forward - and am I willing to take that step?"

Reason isn't the opposite of intuition; rather, it clears the way to access your inner guidance.  Allow your logic to lead right now.

I am leading you toward the answer...

This week's Angel message comes from Adriana.

"I am leading you toward the answer to your prayers.  Please listen to and follow the steps I am communicating through your intuition, thoughts, and dreams."

Additional Message:  "We have heard your prayers, and we are glad that you asked us to help you.  As you may know, we can only help if you request assistance.  The way that we angels answer your prayers is by giving you guidance that will lead you to take the steps toward your higher self's will.

Notice repetitious thoughts and feelings; or vivid visions, dreams, or auditory messages.  These are my loving messages, urging you to take action or make changes.  I will make sure that you are safe while you follow this Divine guidance.  Together, we will work to co-create your answered prayer."

Divine Order

This week's Angel Message comes from Archangel Raguel ~ "Divine Order".

Archangel Raguel:  "Everything is how it needs to be right now.  Look past the illusion, and see underlying order."

Additional Message:  "A win-win situation is brewing, one with solutions that are fair to everyone involved.  This requires you to have blind faith that Heaven is working behind the scenes to extract the highest good for all.  Ask me to buoy your faith if it wavers.  Use positive affirmations and prayers to keep your spirits high.  Above all, make sure that your conversations about this situation involve positive and optimistic words and phrases.  You're so powerful that your positive thoughts can speed the resolution along even quicker."

Working with Archangel Raguel:  Raguel has beautiful pale-blue energy, like the sky on a perfect spring morning.  He's the archangel who guides people to act in fair and just ways, and Raguel also gives us faith in humanity's essential goodness.  Wearing or holding an aquamarine crystal will align you with Raguel's kind and wise persona.

Visualise Success

This week's Angel Message is ~ "Visualise Success".

See yourself doing well in this situation, and have faith in a positive outcome.

The angels want to boost your confidence and relieve you of worries about this situation.  Part of this process involves holding positive visions for yourself and the other people involved.  When you expect the best, you inspire the best in yourself and others.

The situation you're inquiring about depends on your faith in, and a firm vision of, a successful outcome.  Fortunately, the angels can help you hold a high and clear vision of success.  Just ask them for this help, and it is done.

Action Steps:  It's easiest to visualise success if you have a "focal point", which means something to stare at that acts like a blank canvas upon which you paint your visualisation.  The flame of a white candle makes a wonderful focal point.

Relax while staring at a lit white candle, and imagine yourself in the actual situation doing beautifully well.  See and feel everyone involved as smiling, happy, and fulfilled.  Allow yourself to feel safe and secure in your stomach and all throughout your mind and body.  Give any concerns about how this positive outcome will occur to God and the angels.  The "how" is taken care of by God's infinite wisdom and love.

You're Being Helped

This week's message is ~ "You're Being Helped".

"Heaven is working behind the scenes to help you, even if you don't see results yet."

Your manifestation is being worked out right now, even if you can't see tangible proof.  As an analogy, when sailors get close to land, they often see signs of life, such as birds flying or branches floating in the ocean.  By drawing this card, you're urged to notice signs that "land" (your manifestation) is near.

Even if you can't yet see evidence that your manifestation is in process, this card assures you that your prayers have been heard and answered.  Stay centred in faith and gratitude in order to open the door to your desires.

Overcoming Difficulties

This week's Angel message comes from Archangel Jeremiel ~ "Overcoming Difficulties".

Archangel Jeremiel:  "The worst is now behind you, and you are surmounting any previous challenges."

"The challenges you've faced have made you stronger and have taught you new lessons.  Instead of becoming bitter, you've opened your heart with compassion toward people in similar situations.  You've let go of any blame or feelings of victimhood.  This is why you're now overcoming your previous challenges.  Your positive outlook is attracting a loving solution and new situations at a higher level of spiritual understanding.  Stay positive!"

Working with Archangel Jeremiel:  Jeremiel's name means, "Mercy of God", and when you call upon him, Jeremiel delivers mercy to you and everyone involved.  Jeremiel guides you and others to act in loving ways.  He also helps you adopt a merciful outlook, which enables you to consistently treat yourself with respect and tender loving care.

Spiritual Understanding

This week's Angel message comes from Archangel Raziel ~ "Spiritual Understanding".

Archangel Raziel:  "I am bringing you esoteric information and symbols, and helping you understand spiritual truths."

"Your spiritual understanding is rising to another level, as you open up to new ways of looking at life.  Keep an open mind, and let go of limited thinking and illusions.  Pay attention to signs - information that comes to you three times or more.  Notice geometric shapes and symbols in your physical and psychic vision.  Know that your increased awareness may shift your relationships and career goals.  I'll guide you through these changes so your life mirrors your inner experiences."

Working with Archangel Raziel:  As the wizard and alchemist of the archangel realm, Raziel helps us understand ideas that defy normal logic.  He expands and challenges everyday thinking in ways that ultimately have healing effects.  If you hunger for deep spiritual understanding, ask Raziel to enter your dreams.  You'll soul-travel with him to classrooms where he'll help you uncover truths and secrets.  Upon awakening, you may not fully remember or understand Raziel's teachings, yet this knowledge is permanently imbedded in your subconscious, where it guides you throughout each day.

Take Action

This week's Angel message comes from Oceana.

"Take action. You're in touch with your truth in this situation, and you need to trust your gut and lovingly assert yourself."

Additional Message:  "Dive right in!  There's no need for more research or time.  You can trust your feelings on this one.  I will guide you through the actions that are necessary, considering the circumstances.  Your main concern is to avoid procrastination at all costs.  Break the situation down into small steps so that you don't become overwhelmed.  Then, take those steps in regular intervals.

You already know what to do about this situation, and you have made up your mind to take action.  I am here to validate that your decision is on the path of Light.  Although there might be some temporary hard work or emotional turmoil, this will soon be replaced by a lightness of spirit akin to gently floating on a summer breeze.

Sometimes you may feel too emotional or tired to take action.  That is because you're unsure of the 'correctness' of your decisions.  Usually, unfounded guilt is the culprit that is draining your energy and happiness.  This is when it's very important to call upon the angels to shore up your faith.  Notice how the doors open smoothly with each step you take.  That is one more sign that you're taking the best course of action."

Teaching and Learning

This week's Angel message comes from Archangel Zadkiel ~ "Teaching and Learning".

Archangel Zadkiel:  "Keep an open mind, and learn new ideas.  Then, teach these ideas to others."

"You are a spiritual teacher and an avid learner.  Learning and teaching are linked in a perfect cycle, in which information comes to you when you need it.  Teach others about the topics that awaken your passions.  The more you teach, the more your lessons are reinforced within yourself.  Be open to sharing new ideas, and learning about topics that aren't in you immediate sphere of interest.  Your students will teach you in many ways, too.  Trust in your teaching and learning abilities, as your mind is one with the Divine Mind of God.  You are an intelligent and wise being.  Know that it's safe in this lifetime for you to be outspoken in your teachings."

Working with Archangel Zadkiel:  Zadkiel is the ultimate professor.  He's patient, kind, and has access to all knowledge.  He's widely known for his ability to help human memory function.  If you need to remember or memorise any information, Ask Zadkiel to assist.  Anything that you need to know, Zadkiel is glad to teach you.  Just ask him questions in order to elicit his help.  Sometimes Zadkiel uses the Socratic method of teaching, which means that he'll lead you so you can learn for yourself.  Being observant of patterns in everything you see, hear, and think is the best way to benefit from Zadkiel's teachings.

Tranquility

This week's Angel message is ~ "Tranquility".

"Make time to relax, be still, and enjoy your solitude, indulging in much-needed self-care."

This card asks you to take a break from your harried schedule.  Soaking or swimming in salty water creates a magical electrical energy shift in your body.  The salt draws out emotional and physical toxins.

Purchase sea salt from your local health-food store's spice section, and pour lots of the salt and fragrant essential oils into your warm bathwater.  Be sure to immerse your chest and heart chakra under water as you soak in the tub in order to release toxic emotions.

Burn a white candle near your bathtub.  As you look at the flickering light, think about what you want.  The white candlelight amplifies your thoughts and feelings, so think about your desires and not your fears.  Let the saltwater wash away any doubts that could block your manifestation.  Ask the candle to illuminate your mind with faith and positive expectations.  Enjoy this relaxation time, and have faith that your prayers have been hear and are being answered.

Love Your Spirit

This week's reading is a lesson of the Soul ~ "Love Your Spirit".

Do you feel misunderstood in your relationship with another? Are you struggling too hard to understand someone?  Have you bent over backward to be loving but feel that there's no return flow, which leave you drained and resentful?  Welcome to the world of relationships, the soul's most challenging arena - and the greatest opportunity to grow.  Enter this school with an open heart, knowing that your Higher Self is forever present and loves you completely.

Your soul's purpose right now is to fully embrace and love your Divine Spirit with the same acceptance and appreciation that your Higher Self has for you.

You soul's lesson:  Practice self-love in all your relationships - the more you love your spirit, the better things will flow with others.  Ask yourself what you want from these people that you aren't getting.  What are you denying or rejecting in yourself that you want someone else to give you?  Most important right now is to ease up on self-judgement and make up your mind to adore your spirit completely, even with all your imperfections.  No one can improve upon self-love.  When you cherish yourself, you begin to feel and experience the affection and acceptance of others, but not before.

Detach From the Situation

This week's Angel Message comes from Archangel Michael ~ "Detach from the Situation".

You've become embroiled in a situation to the point where you can't see it objectively.  This card indicates that it's time to step back and obtain a bigger view of the picture.  Archangel Michael asks you to detach from the surrounding emotions, and he'll help you do so.  Michael will also guide you in depersonalising the experience so you don't take offense at others' behaviour.  This will prevent you from reacting defensively - instead, your actions will stem from love and wisdom.

Give yourself permission to take a time-out, away from the people involved.  You don't need to know the solution right now, as the angels are taking care of the details.  What's important for you is to access a sense of inner peace - a feeling that will lead to new and helpful insights.

Possible specific meanings:
♥ Don't take on other people's arguments - let them work things out for themselves.
♥ Be compassionate without carrying someone else's burden.
♥ Ask Archangel Michael to clear your energy.
♥ It's time to leave an unhealthy situation or relationship.

Prayer

Archangel Michael, I ask you to use your flaming sword to cut any attachment to fear or drama so that I may be centred in the knowingness that peace is everywhere within me and this situation.

Spread Your Wings!

This week's Angel message comes from Archangel Ariel.  It is "Spread Your Wings!"

Archangel Ariel:  "Do not hold back right now.  The timing is perfect, and you are ready to soar!" 

"Although you may feel intimidated by the prospect of change, and by the thought of moving past your comfort zone, you're ready to fly high.  Welcome new opportunities, and know that it's safe to follow your heart and dreams.  Keep your focus upon love, service, and spirit, and avoid nay-sayers or skeptics.  Remember that you inspire others with your story of turning challenges into victories."

Working with Archangel Ariel:  Ariel loves all living beings, and gladly helps them all.  She's a master manifestor, and she's especially supportive of people who are healers, teachers, and service workers.  She's very partial to the environmental area, and she works closely with the nature angels to protect and heal animals - particularly the birds, animals, and fish who live near or in the water.  One way to work with Ariel is to participate in environmental work, including picking up trash near a lake, stream, or ocean; donating time or money to an environmental cause; or switching to environmentally friendly cleaning supplies.

Time-out!

This week's Angel message comes from Teresa.

"Time-out!  You've been so busy taking care of everyone else's needs, but now it's time to stop and take care of yourself."

Additional Message:  "Dear one, you've been working very hard!  You're very tired now, yet you keep pushing yourself to work more, more, more!  I am here to firmly and lovingly take your hand, and tell you to 'Stop!'  Cease working for a moment and take a respite.  You have certainly earned it, and you will be more efficient and productive after taking this rest.

You give so much to others that at times like this you become unbalanced.  Your inner child yearns for nurturing, and no one is going to give you that loving care but yourself and the angels.  So, give yourself permission to take a much-needed time-out.  Take a nap, or go play for a while.  Please don't delay this guidance.  We assure you that your responsibilities will all be met, and you will gather new energy and ideas during your time-out.  We will also bring you additional Earthly help, and assist you in delegating work."

Determination

This week's message comes from an Animal Spirit Guide, Salmon ~ Determination.

"You know where you are going and YOU WILL GET THERE."

Sometimes it seems easier to just give up in the face of adversity, especially when the struggles you face feel overwhelming and insurmountable.  Yet these trials and tribulations are all part of your spiritual path, and are necessary to make you stronger and more capable at dealing with life's unpredictability.  The ordeal you're faced with now is not necessarily a light one; and to succeed, it will take a clear intention, a commitment to purpose, and a willingness to stay with it until you've reached a calmer part of the river.

Even if you're not sure of your purpose or why you're faced with these challenges, follow your path in absolute faith, and the reasons will reveal themselves within the process of your journey.  Sometimes your actual goal isn't apparent, even when the direction you must go is.  You must trust that your direction is being inspired by the deepest sense of your innate knowing, align your intention with Spirit's intent, and let nothing stop you from moving ahead.

Workshops and Seminars

This week's Angel message is ~ Workshops and Seminars.

Attending and giving speeches is part of your spiritual path and purpose.  Be open to teaching and learning.

The angels have been sending you intuitive messages about attending and giving workshops, seminars, and speeches.  They've now sent this oracle card to you so you'll know that you really are hearing your angels' messages about this topic.

If you've been dreaming about giving a workshop or a speech, the angels will guide you through the process.  Give any worries, thoughts, concerns, or questions to them; and then listen to their replies, which will come to you as ideas and feelings.  The angels will help lead you to the right venue, topic and audience members.  All you need do is follow their guidance.

You're also guided to attend workshops to further your spiritual path and education.  Enroll in classes that you feel drawn to, and ask Archangel Raphael to support everything in this endeavour - including intuition fees, transportation, lodging, time off from work, babysitting arrangements, and so forth.

The way is clear for you to give and receive through the workshop process.  Enjoy!

Action Steps:  Visualise yourself conducting a workshop for a group of appreciative individuals who are smiling receptively at you.  Feel yourself confidently receiving Divine information, which you impart to your audience members.  Continue with this visualisation by seeing and feeling additional positive details.  When you feel complete, say:  "Thank you, Universe, for my wonderful experiences giving workshops for people who receive blessings from the teachings that come through me."

Sensitivity

This week's Angel message comes from Archangel Haniel. It is ~ Sensitivity.

Archangel Haniel: "You are extra-sensitive to energies and emotions right now. Honour yourself and your feelings."

"Sensitivity is a beautiful and powerful gift, and there's no such thing as being 'too sensitive'. Your sensitivity helps you know the truth about situations and people, and it's important for you to trust and follow these hunches, intuitions, and impressions. Spend some time alone in nature to further develop your sensitivity. Avoid harsh situations and chemicals. At home or at work, ask me to help you choose life-affirming foods, beverages, companions, and activities. Know that it's safe for you to feel deep emotions, as they're part of your sensitivity. Visualise the two of us sealed in beautiful bluish-white light. This light dissolves any lower energies, transmuting them into love. The light also helps you distinguish between your own feelings and those of other people."

Working with Archangel Haniel: Haniel helps us honour our natural cycles, moods, and rhythms. She assists us in embracing all aspects of ourselves, including our strengths, setbacks, and shadows. Call upon her if you ever feel unsure, or bad about yourself. Haniel will help you appreciate yourself and see how beautiful you are right now.

Creative

This week's message is from the realm of Unicorns. It is ~ Creative.

Draw, paint, think, and act in creative ways.

You're a creative person, which means that you like to express your thoughts and feelings in artistic ways. It doesn't matter whether your artwork is "perfect". What matters is that you express yourself creatively.

This card asks you to spend more time being creative. That means doing something artistic, such as painting, drawing, singing, dancing, dressing in costume, writing a story, or taking photos. When you do something creative, you'll feel free and happy.

Creativity also helps you see the world in new ways. You notice amazing new details in everyday life and see colours that you never noticed before. Creativity also sparks new ways of doing things, which also positively affects work and play.

Doing things in the same way every time puts you into a "rut". Ruts are major causes of stress, and stress can lead to sad or tired feelings. The best way to get out of a rut is by doing something creative. It doesn't matter what you do, as long as you do it with a creative flair.

Solitude / Higher Self

Spiritual Guides bring this week's Angel Message which is ~ Solitude / Higher Self.

Observation ♥ Contemplation ♥ Renewal ♥ Listening

Your desire to seek solitude is appropriate at this time. You're being counseled by your Higher Self to retreat, and to renew your soul through quiet contemplation. Your nervous system has been overstimulated, and you can't absorb any more input from the outer world. Step away and give yourself the necessary peace and time alone you require to revitalise your system. In doing so, you'll begin to sense, feel, and even hear the voice of your Higher Self, but only when you step into more natural surroundings.

Reconnect with nature in whatever way is practical, given your circumstances. Fully open your heart to your Higher Self, even if you fear that you can't make contact. You are making contact. Furthermore, your Higher Self asks you to take your time when contemplating your circumstances and considering your options. Resist the temptation to yield to any sense of urgency. There's no emergency. Your true direction will make itself known if you're patient. Your Higher Self also alerts you to the fact that not all the necessary pieces of information to make the best decisions may be apparent yet. Your Higher Self wisely counsels that sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is do nothing. The message: "Be quiet and wait."

Son

This week's Angel Message comes from the Fairies. It is ~ Son.

Your son is watched over and protected as he explores his world.

Your question involves your son or a male who is like a son to you. Perhaps you've been worried about him or have felt a call to help him in some way. This card validates your intuitive feelings and asks you to take action in that direction. The fairies want you to know that your son is safe, happy, and watched over. Give any worries to them so that healing can occur.

Additional Meanings

♥ Your are pregnant with, or will adopt, a boy.
♥ Your life purpose involves helping children.
♥ A son in Heaven is letting you know that he's happy and sends his love.
♥ Another person's son needs your help right now.

Priorities

This week's Angel Message comes from King Solomon, an Ascended Master. It is ~ Priorities.

Devote time to your highest priorities, even if it means getting to bed earlier or later. This is a wonderful time to work on projects that are near and dear to your heart. Even if you're confused about how to approach the project, or you fear whether you'll be able to accomplish your dreams, do it anyway. You'll feel elated by the time and energy you invest into your true priorities because your inner self will feel loved and well cared for. As you invest in your priorities, you're investing in yourself.

Additional Meanings

♥ Let go of procrastination or perfectionism.
♥ Break your major goals into baby steps and take one step at a time.
♥ Revamp your schedule so that you devote regular time to your priorities.
♥ Be assertive in saying no to anything that diverts you from your path.

~♥~

King Solomon ruled Israel following the death of his father, King David. Solomon was a wise and open-minded man who understood the power of the goddess thanks to the influence of his many wives. Solomon used spiritual alchemy to build the temple of the Ark of the Covenant, based upon architectural plans that his father had received in Heavenly visions. Call upon King Solomon to resolve dilemmas, to build new projects, and to foster tolerance among various religious and spiritual paths.

Resourcefulness

This week's message comes from an Animal Spirit Guide, The Racoon. The message is ~ Resourcefulness.

"You have all the resources you need."

Everything you need is right in front of you if you only look. There's no need to be fussing about this and that, creating drama and turmoil, worrying about whether you'll have enough the next hour, the next day, or the next week. Whatever you need will be there. You might have to forage a little, but it will. Trust that. There's nothing to fret or worry about. Not really.

Use your brain and your intuition in partnership to not only help you solve the problem, but actually solve the problem. At first, it may not be obvious where to look; that's why you have to poke around a bit until you turn up what you need for this or any other situation. Sometimes when you follow your hunch and look under the couch for your lost wallet, you find the wallet. And don't get tweaked if all the steps you take don't lead to an immediate solution. Don't proceed blindly or out of anxiety or fear. It's impossible to hear your intuition or your brain when you're jumping around randomly. So relax. Trust that what you need will turn up.

Azure

This week's Angel message comes from ~ Azure.

"Your desired outcome will occur in the very near future. Have patience and faith, and don't try to force it to happen."

Additional Message: Yes, you will receive your wish. However, Divine timing means that patience and positive visualisation are needed right now. Ask me to help buoy your faith so that you don't slip into negativity. You can speed up the process of answered prayers by having more faith in their inevitability. Conversely, doubts or worries about "how" your prayers will be answered will slow them down.

Remember that the "how" of answered prayers is up to the Divine wisdom of the Creator. Although you may feel urgency or even panic about your prayers, please trust that we angels are working nonstop behind the scenes to help you. Keep surrendering and releasing these worries and fears to God and the angels. The more that you can stay centred in faith, the more easily we can assist you.

Shield Yourself

This week's Angel Message is ~ "Shield Yourself".

Protect yourself from harsh or fear-based energies by envisioning a cocoon of healing light surrounding you.

The angels brought this card to you because of your heightened sensitivity to energies. This sensitivity means that you may inadvertently absorb other people's energies, which may make you feel tired, unfocused, or upset. Just as you wouldn't walk outdoors in a rainstorm without an umbrella, it's important to use an energy umbrella in the face of any emotional downpour.

If you feel negative energy - or people are arguing, competing, or using frightening words - it's vital for you to shield yourself. This means imagining that a bubble of protective light surrounds your entire body. You can also ask Archangel Michael to guard you from lower energies, and you can even "borrow" his shield as a protective buffer.

Action Steps: Visualise yourself surrounded by one or more of the following colours (you can layer colours for multiple purposes, such as a white light next to you for general protection, followed by a second layer of green light for healing, and covered by a third layer of purple light for spiritual protection):

Blue: Increased communication and clarity.
Green: Healing and protection of health.
Pink: Lightheartedness and romance.
Purple: Spiritual protection (shielding from psychic attack).
White: General protection.

The light shields last for about 12 hours, less time in harsh circumstances, so reinvoke them often.

Isaiah

This week's Angel Message comes from ~ Isaiah.

"It's a good time to give birth to new ideas and situations in your life. I am watching over you, guiding you, and protecting you during these changes."

Additional Message: You are ripe with new possibilities, and you feel an urgency to push into new territory. Beloved one, your new and exciting life changes are inevitable. There is no turning back! Instead of playing it safe, you decided to move forward. That is why I am with you right now, giving you the extra courage and comfort that you need.

However, there is no need to rush. This is a time of incubation, where nature can allow everything to grow in its innate rhythm. Be assured that your life change will hatch at just the right moment! In the meantime, know that God and the angels are watching over you. You are safe and very loved. Congratulations on the birth of this new period of your life!

Outdoors

This week's Angel message comes from Archangel Jophiel ~ "Outdoors".

Archangel Jophiel: "Go outside, get some fresh air, and connect with nature to relieve stress and gain new, creative ideas."

"Connecting with nature helps synchronise your rhythms to the universal heartbeat. In this way, your natural timing improves so that you're in the right place at the right time. Being in nature renews your spirit and revives your energy level. Get outside every day, even if it takes some effort on your part. Once you're in nature, take time to smell the roses and observe the glorious beauty. Know that you're part of nature, and that you're also beautiful."

Working with Archangel Jophiel: Jophiel's name means "Beauty of God". She sees beauty in everything and everyone, and helps you do the same. Jophiel knows that when we spend regular time outdoors, we're cleared of lower energies, and naturally have a more beautiful outlook on life. Call upon Jophiel to ease your schedule to allow for outdoor time: plan a nature-based vacation, move to a more rural environment, start a butterfly garden, or just connect to nature in any way that pleases you.

Write

This week's Angel message comes from Thoth, who says, ~ "Write".

You drew this card as a concrete reminder to write. You've been receiving lots of signs and feelings to write lately, so let this card be the message that leads you to take action. Get out a pad of paper or your laptop computer and begin writing. Don't worry about punctuation, grammar, or spelling, as you can take care of those details later. For now, just express your thoughts and feelings as they flow into your mind and body.

♥ Write down your intentions, goals, and desires.

Be You!

This week's Angel message is channelled guidance from the Angels, by me. They tell us ~ Be You!

When you try too hard to please others or to do something before another has done it, you are not being true to yourself. Why do you feel the need to be first? Why do you feel that people like you because you tell them something they want to hear? Why do you try so hard to compete with others? Why do you want to be so much like other people?

Listen to us when we tell you to be you. We know you better than you think. Relax in yourself and be. You are you because no-one else can be. You are you because that is the spirit of you. Be you, the real and honest you. Life is not a competition, it is about living in happiness, love and peace. You can only do this by being you and no-one else.

We want you to be happy and to experience the love of life as you. Your need isn't real, it is the ego self that is needing the acceptance of others and the ego self that is needing to win in any situation. Let go of that ego self. Look within and find YOU. Be YOU. Love YOU.

Focus upon Your Strengths

This week's Angel Message comes from an Ascended Master, Apollo ~ Focus upon Your Strengths.

This card reminds you to focus upon your strengths and not upon any perceived weaknesses. Your strengths could include your loving heart, pure intentions, people skills, hobbies, or something that you excel in. Even if your talents still need polishing, these are strengths and assets. The more you bless and appreciate your strengths, the stronger they'll grow. If you focus upon so-called weaknesses, they will grow. This card comes to you as a reminder of the importance of viewing yourself with compassion and love. Any time you find yourself thinking or feeling poorly about yourself, focus upon your strengths instead.

Additional meanings

♥ Use daily positive affirmations to lift your energy and faith.

Laughter

When I went to choose a card for this week's Angel message, my new Magical Unicorns deck jumped out at me. This was an obvious sign to read from these cards and it put a big smile on my face, so this week's message is from the Unicorns.

Not surprising, the card chosen is ~ Laughter.

You need a good laugh!

You've been so serious lately that you're feeling stressed. It's time to lighten up and see the humour in the situation. There's always something to laugh about. Think about it for a minute: What part of your life is like a movie? What parts are funny? Laughing with love is very healing.

Sometimes the best way to heal a situation is to step away from it. Can you read a funny book or watch a comedy on TV? Can you get together with friends and tell silly jokes? It feels so good to laugh hard, especially with loved ones.

This card asks you to see the humour within each situation, and not take life so seriously. You can ease your own stress and that of others with humour and laughter. Learn to feel joy, no matter what's happening around you. Laughter and joy are magical because they bring happy situations into your life.

Shine Your Light

This week's Angel Message is channelled guidance from the Angels by me.

"Shine your light."

"The light within you is what keeps you alive. That light is your heart. A heart which shows love for all. When your heart is shone on what you seek, it can light the path to freedom. Freedom to be who you really are, not what you think you should be for others. When you live your lives as you are meant to, as your real selves, your lights - your hearts - shine brighter. Keep your light alive and shining by loving yourself first.

When things seem dark or misty, remember we love you and always will. We want you to shine your light on those dark days by remembering this. We love you because you are a beautiful soul. Keep following your path by being true to yourself and see how beautiful your light shines."

Holiday

There's a saying that goes, "A haircut is as good as a holiday!" Ok, maybe the saying is, "A change is as good as a holiday!" Well, I had a haircut this morning and do feel great with the change! Not surprising then, the card chosen for my post this week!! :)

This week's Angel Message comes from the Fairies ~ "Holiday".

The answer you're looking for can be found during a vacation, retreat, or holiday getaway.

The fairies know the importance of play and rest; and they're urging you, through this card, to take some time off. This vacation performs an important role in your life by giving you an opportunity to clear your mind and think about your next move. You'll learn a great deal from this holiday, so it's worth the investment of time and money.

Additional Meanings

♥ A family get-together will result in a significant healing.
♥ Take a class held in an exotic location.
♥ Visit one of the earth's power places.
♥ Your prayer will be answered during the holiday season (such as Christmas, Hanukah, or Easter).
♥ Give any stress or worries about a holiday to Heaven and the fairies.
♥ Ask the fairies for help in arranging (and paying for) a vacation for yourself and your loved ones.
♥ Go on a retreat.

Victory!

This week's Angel message is from Archangel Sandalphon ~ "Victory!"

Archangel Sandalphon: "Your prayers have been heard and answered. Have faith."

"You deserve this time of victory. Your unwavering focus and dedication have resulted in blissful manifestation. Peace and pleasant feelings are yours right now. Let your focus be on this present moment, and savour each feeling and experience fully. Know that the future is taken care of in a positive way, as you allow yourself to enjoy the present moment. Feel good about who you are, and know that your success benefits others."

Working with Archangel Sandalphon: Sandalphon is one of two archangels who were mortal men, who lived such remarkable spiritual lives that they ascended into archangeldom (the other one is Metatron). Sandalphon can help your life be a masterpiece as well. Ask him to help you live in integrity, with your spiritual gifts of prophece, healing, and manifestation fully awakened. Sandalphon can help you speak your truth openly, in a way that benefits everyone. He'll also help you appreciate all the miracles and victories - of every size - in your life.

Honour and Trust Your Feelings

This week's Angel Message comes from Archangel Michael ~ "Honour and Trust Your Feelings".

Archangel Michael urges you to look inward and listen, for this card is a sign that your feelings are accurately tuned in to the truth. Some of these feelings may be uncomfortable to face, yet they're with you for an important reason. If you're conflicted, sit down with pen and paper and conduct an "interview" with your emotional self by asking: What are you feeling? Why? What would you like me to do? Your feelings will speak loudly and clearly if you keep an open mind and trust what you hear.

Respect your inner voice as the powerful life force that connects you to the Divine. Often God and the angels answer your prayers and offer you guidance through your physical and emotional feelings. If you say, "Oh, it's just a feeling," you're ignoring vital Divine assistance. This card reminds you to listen - really listen - to your feelings.

Possible specific meanings:
♥ It's time to admit that you're unhappy in a certain situation and to take appropriate corrective action.
♥ Someone's trying to talk you out of feeling a certain way - stick to what you know and feel as your barometer.

Prayer:
Thank you, Archangel Michael, for supporting, guiding, and protecting me as I listen to and act upon my feelings. Help me understand and express my emotions with love.

Teaching and Learning

This week's Angel message comes from Archangel Zadkiel ~ "Teaching and Learning".

Archangel Zadkiel: "Keep an open mind, and learn new ideas. Then, teach these ideas to others."

"You are a spiritual teacher and an avid learner. Learning and teaching are linked in a perfect cycle, in which information comes to you when you need it. Teach others about the topics that awaken your passions. The more you teach, the more your lessons are reinforced within yourself. Be open to sharing new ideas, and learning about topics that aren't in your immediate sphere of interest. Your students will teach you in many ways too. Trust in your teaching and learning abilities, as your mind is one with the Divine Mind of God. You are an intelligent and wise being. Know that it's safe in this lifetime for you to be outspoken in your teachings."

Working with Archangel Zadkiel: Zadkiel is the ultimate spiritual professor. He's patient, kind, and has access to all knowledge. He's widely known for his ability to help human memory function. If you need to remember or memorise any information, ask Zadkiel to assist. Anything that you need to know, Zadkiel is glad to teach you. Just ask him questions in order to elicit his help. sometimes Zadkiel uses the Socratic method of teaching, which means that he'll lead you so you can learn for yourself. Being observant of patterns in everything you see, hear, and think is the best way to benefit from Zadkiel's teachings.

Everything's Okay

This week's Angel Message comes from the Fairies ~ "Everything's Okay".

Don't worry. It's all working out in a beautiful way.

The fairies know that you're concerned about the outcome of this situation, so they've sent this card to you as reassurance that everything's working out in a divinely perfect way. Take steps to uplift your outlook and unburden your heart and mind, such as taking a nature walk, spending time with loved ones, exercising, or enjoying a creative project. The more you can stay centered and filled with faith, the better the outcome you'll experience.

Additional meanings:

♥ Write down your concerns on paper and then ceremoniously dispose of the list by burning it, pouring water over it, or burying it.
♥ Talk to the people involved in order to double-check your facts - your worries may be based upon untrue assumptions.
♥ Make sure that you're getting enough rest and eating healthfully, as physical strain can lead to anxiety and exhaustion.

Guarded and Protected

This week's Angel Message is from Archangel Michael ~ "Guarded and Protected".

Archangel Michael is protecting you in this situation, as well as in other areas of your life. You and the archangel are a team: you follow the guidance he gives you through your intuition. You likely drew this card because you're going through a major life change and are feeling vulnerable, but this is a symbol to remind you that Michael is watching over you around the clock.

This card also urges you to drop your defenses in relationships with people and the angels. Open your heart to giving and receiving love so that you can experience the intimacy you deeply desire. Be your authentic self with others, and tell the angels about your feelings. This allows others to know, support, and love you... including loving yourself for who you are!

Possible specific meanings:
♥ Your financial needs will be met.
♥ You'll have a happy outcome concerning a legal matter.
♥ Sleep well - your home is being watched over.
♥ Your children are protected and safe.
♥ Your loved ones are with the angels in heaven.

~♥~ Heal Away Addictions ~♥~

This week's Angel Message is ~ Heal Away Addictions.

It's time to let go of behaviours that are blocking you from your heart's desire. Ask Archangel Raphael to help you with this healing.

This card comes to you to validate what you already know: It's time to let go of addictive behaviours, as they're interfering with your health, happiness, and life purpose. The angels ask you to be very honest with yourself, and admit that these addictions are wasting your time, robbing you of energy and confidence, and blocking the answers to your prayers. Fortunately, the angels will support you through every step of healing away cravings and other addictive tendencies.

It beings with your making a clear decision to let the addiction (or addictions) go. Weigh the pluses and minuses of the addictive behaviour. Once you're emotionally ready to release it, take the following Action Steps.

Action Steps: Go to a quiet place where you won't be disturbed. Then say, silently or aloud: "Archangel Raphael, I call upon you now."

Think of what you'd like to release (it could include destructive patterns, compulsive behaviours, toxic relationships, and unhealthful cravings). Imagine these addictions (or a symbol of them) sitting on your lap or upper legs. You might see or feel the addictions; and you may also sense how they're attached to your stomach area with tangled cords, webs, and roots.

Breathe deeply while saying: "Archangel Raphael, I'm now ready to release these former addictions to you and Heaven. Please cut all of the roots, cords, and webs attached to these addictions; and lift them to the light for transmutation and healing."

After Raphael carts away the addictions, he'll fill you with his emerald green healing light to nurture, soothe, and fulfill you. You'll notice a drastic reduction in addictive cravings. Repeat this process if needed until the addiction is completely cleared.

~♥~ Leila ~♥~

This week's Angel message is from ~ Leila.

"Spend time alone in nature, meditating about your desires and intentions. Ask the angels to help you gain a positive perspective."

Additional Message: Your life has been noisy lately, and you need to escape into a place of natural tranquility. It is time for you to be alone in nature, even if it is for just a brief while. You don't need others' permission to take care of your soul in this way. Simply plan your sojourn, and then follow through on those plans.

Once you are alone in nature, allow your mind to wander wherever it wants to go. Notice your thoughts and feelings, and perhaps write them down. After a time, speak (aloud or silently) to the nature angels that surround you. Ask them to clear your body and aura of any stress that you may have absorbed. Then, meditate and pray about your desires and intentions. Prayers are amplified by the power of nature, and you will feel very refreshed when you return home.

~♥~ Love ~♥~

My Angel messages usually come from oracle cards that I am guided to use for each message. However today, I was guided to be a channel for this week's Angel Message which comes from Archangels Michael and Uriel.

The message is ~ Love.

"Let the love in your heart shine brightly for all to see. It is there for sharing and caring for all who come into contact with you. We want to share this message of love. We want you to know that with love in your heart and soul, you are protected from anything that can possibly harm you. When love is used for protection, it shields you completely from all negative thoughts and influences of others. Love is the greatest weapon when used for the greatest good. Love yourself, love each other, love this earth and in return you will be loved."

~♥~ Daniel ~♥~

This week's Angel message is from ~ Daniel.

"I am the Angel of Marriage, and I am assisting you right now."

Additional Message: You have called upon God to help in the area of marriage, and He sent me to your side. I am here to help you with a fulfilling marriage. God and I desire to answer your prayer without delay. The first area that I am helping you with is healing any past wounds related to marriage. In quiet moments, I ask that you be willing to release to me any pain associated with your parents. I ask that you breathe out any negative feelings that you may have about marriage, which stem from your childhood experiences.

Next, I put my hand upon your heart and ask you to breathe in and out deeply. I now ask that you be willing to release old pain or anger toward your first love. As you release these toxins from your heart, I next ask you to exhale old pain toward all of your past lovers. Allow me to clear your heart of old wounds so that you can enjoy a happy marriage rooted in the present. We must release the past to avoid replicating old, painful experiences. I am here to free your heart so that it can fully love ... within a blissful marriage.

~♥~ Crystals ~♥~

This weeks Angel message is ~ Crystals.

The energy of crystals supports you and helps with your present situation.

This card presents a dual meaning with respect to the term crystal. One or both may apply to you, which you'll know by your inner reaction while reading these words.

First, this card represents the crystals of the mineral kingdom. These powerful beings emit, transmute, and magnify energies. For example, clear quartz can increase your psychic clarity, black obsidian stone is an effective protector, pink rose quartz opens your heart to love, and purple amethyst raises your spiritual vibrations. This card is asking you to work with crystal energy as you feel guided to: by yourself, with the help of a crystal practitioner, or by conducting crystal healings for others.

The second meaning relates to people who are considered "crystalline" themselves ~~ that is, they are quiet and sensitive transmitters of healing energy. Most Crystals are young children, so this card could indicate that you are parenting or working with a Crystal child. You may also have crystal characteristics yourself ~~ particularly, if you are gentle, soft-spoken, and a nature lover.

Action Steps: Go to a store that sells crystals, and centre yourself with prayer. Quietly walk around all of the precious stones, noticing which ones attract you visually and through your feeling senses. Run your hand above each crystal and observe whether its energy affects you. If a particular crystal captivates your attention, mentally ask it to give you a message and to send you pure healing energy.

~♥~ Ask For What You Want ~♥~

This week's Angel message comes from the fairies and is ~ Ask For What You Want.

Let the Universe and other people know what you need.

This card serves as a reminder of the importance of asking for your desires. The Universe is much like a restaurant, in that you need to put in your order before anything can happen. Your current situation calls for action on your part. First, spend time clarifying your desires; then tell the Universe clearly what you want. You can always qualify your request with the prayer, "This, or something better...." so that you don't unwittingly limit yourself. However, you do need to make a clear decision about your desires.

Additional meanings: Be honest with the people in your life. ♥ Tell the Universe what you want. ♥ Write a list of your desires. ♥ Have a heart-to-heart talk with someone you're in a relationship with about your needs, boundaries, and expectations. ♥ Ask others to help you, and accept that aid when it's offered. ♥ Expect a positive outcome, and your expectations will be rewarded.
