It has been said that love is the key to life, the substance by which the soul is sustained.  This is a fact that is ever present in your daily life.  All things around you either thrive or starve based on the abundance or lack of love surrounding an entity in its existence.    We are not talking about just how we love as human beings, we are also referring to the existence of all life around us. 

Think about this for a moment.  For, science has proved that plant life thrives more robustly when surrounded by sights and sounds that are nurturing and loving.  Example:  plant life – the beautiful flowers and nourishing vegetables which bring diversity, joy and life to our planet.  Even these life forms thrive in conditions where love is more prominent.  Can a plant survive with water, soil and sunlight alone?  Yes.  Absolutely!  But what happens when, to the basic needs, we add a loving environment?  The leaves spring higher, the fruit are more abundant and the roots dig deeper and more secure into the ground.  The plant thrives.

As beings of this Earth we are no different.  We thrive as the ingredient of love is added to the recipes of life.  We see it all around us as events of each day unfold around us.  Those who are affected by insufficient or complete lack of love in their lives have affected society across the planet.  Violence, hate, intolerance, prejudice, crime… these are all symptoms of a society suffering through loveless conditions.  What can be done about this?  How can you help this?  What is the solution?  Well, there is only one solution, and that is to love.  For yourself, for those around you and for the world.  To walk each day of your life in a condition of love and release, projecting loving energy throughout your life and in all your actions.

I know, it sounds so simple.  Wake up with a smile and tell the world you love it and all will be well.  Right?  No, this is not what we’re saying at all.  Rather, accept that you are loved and give that love in return.  So much is being focused in this time on the laws of attraction, this operates the same way. You get what you give in the universe, this is applied to love as well.  If you give lovingly you will receive in kind. 

How can love help you in your daily life?  Let’s consider a few life examples:

1. Someone has not responded to a situation in a manner that you find acceptable.  You are now despondent and have concerns about the individual in question.  Do not pass judgment.  Rather try to understand that all people are different as are their behaviors.  The person may not have meant what you’re emotions are perceiving.  Send the situation love and let it go.  Once you have let go, the situation will not have the same hold on you it may have today;
2. Someone has been dishonest with you.  Know that this is not a value judgment about your behavior and that (unless this is your child) you are not able force your value systems onto others.  There is not the need to accept their values but you need to consider accepting the situation for what it is.  Before confronting the situation, send love and then ask for insights around a resolution;
3. Someone has cut you off in traffic.  This is an easy one.  Do not allow your state to be so altered by this type of almost mechanical behavior. The energies of love should be a part of you at all times when driving, be at peace and do not allow this kind of stress driven behavior to cause you distress.

Love is a condition and state of mind.  Create a peaceful and loving state of mind at the start of your day, when you’re stressed during the day, when facing a challenging or confrontational situation, before an interview or presentation or whenever you may find yourself facing one of life’s more challenging situations.  How does one accomplish this?  Simply put:

1. Create a peaceful and relaxing state of mind through a short grounding exercise;
2. Surround yourself with the white energy of transformation, higher level connection and clarity;
3. Connect with your higher level being, guides, masters and God (the source);
4. Generate a loving and warm energy, using the color pink.  Place this color around your energy field, connect your three beings – your physical, your mental and your spiritual;
5. Connect to your energy field clearly with the source, sending the pink love energy through the pipeline.  Do this for a nice long and relaxing amount of time;
6. Once you have sent up your love to the source, allow this love to return to you.  Be open.. receive.

Receiving.  Being open to receiving and then accepting are so very important.  In taking yourself through this exercise of balancing yourself then giving and receiving love, you are able to envelope yourself in a place of complete acceptance of love from the source.  Become accustomed to this feeling and you will find the days will be so much easier to work through and you will increase your ability to manifest. 

Know that you are loved and not alone in your quests for enlightenment.  Ask for guidance and continue to be in joy.  Many blessings to you.

Message From Angel and Company: 
 

We all have moments when life challenges us to face moments of pain and/or loss is our lives.  When a loved one is taken from us and called to return to spirit, we can find it very difficult to lean back upon the teachings and knowledge we acquire in evolution as spiritual beings.  As a spiritual healer and counselor it can be just as difficult and sometimes more challenging as we work through our personal loss while focusing on assisting clients and loved ones.  This past week I faced this very situation.  The afternoon of 8/17 I was notified that my niece had passed away.  She was only 30 years old and was not experiencing an illness or any conditions that prepared my family for her departure.  This has been a very difficult week for us all and we’ve been working together – holding on to one another in love and remembering our spiritual strength and courage to help us through the loss.  As I placed my focus back on my clients and practice, I asked for a message for my family, those who may be living with loss and myself – something that may help us from the angels and my guides.  Below is the message that was brought through.  Thank you all for your loving thoughts and may the angels and God be with you!
 

Presented to me 8/26/07 at 6:04pm
 

There are so many words which can be shared to ease the soul when we lose those we care deeply for.  Life is a precious and blessed gift which we all share with friends, family and loved ones in our physical condition on this planet.   Know that, when we leave into spirit, the blessing does not leave as the spirit leaves the body.  When our loved ones leave this plain, they leave for a placed of peace, wonder, love and joy.  A place Jesus referred to as paradise.  A place where our pains and troubles are lifted and where we share a seat at the table with our Father; a place we return to when we complete the journey and lessons we came to experience in this life form.  Paradise, a place we go to continue our evolution from a physical existence to a spiritual being resonating at a level with the ascended masters.  For this is the goal. 
 

If you have the opportunity to see your loved one off as they take a voyage, where peace and contentment awaited them, you would celebrate their voyage.  For you would know that they would be in a joyous condition, one they earned and deserved after working through life’s challenges so diligently and hard.  If this loved one was taking on a new profession, transitioning to a new home or graduating from school; you would sing in victory with them as they moved into this new chapter of their life.  Releasing their troubles, struggles, pain or even suffering which may have challenged their lives would be cause to rejoice with your loved ones.  The difference in this situation is that they will no longer be able to stand with you in the physical condition as you face tomorrow and forward in your own life.  So the future will hold no time where you will have an opportunity to share physical moments with your loved one.  They have moved on from the physical and our hearts ache as we long for more time.  But there is no more time.  For – as physical beings – we are mortal and will all be called home at some point in time.  The lesson in this is for all to love as if you are with your loved ones them for the last time, each day.  So that you have no regrets of what may have been said or perhaps even what may not have been said.  For regret is a physical condition.  In the soul of your loved one, they carry no hardship, regret or disappointment of you into spirit with them.  For when in spirit, we have no attachment to these human concepts – for we evolve beyond them, understanding that our imperfections are what make us who we are.  There is only love for you from your loved one in spirit.  
 

As you mourn for the loss, know that it is ok to be in pain.  For this is difficult, as it should be.  Do not run from your feelings.  Instead, allow your being to work through the loss and understand that you have many resources to help you through the difficult time.  Be comforted by the knowledge that your dear one is in paradise and that their desire is for you to be both joyous and prosperous and to live your life fully and without regret or emptiness.  Do no be crippled by their loss.  Let the memories of their life fill your heart and be willing and able to move forward in peace.
 

Now, when our loved ones are taken from us violently, we can be consumed by the pain they may have endured in their departure.  Be comforted in your soul, for they are at peace now.  Pray for them and yourself and ask the angels and ascended masters to ease your mind of these thoughts.  For your loved ones have released this experience from their being.  Now is not the time to give thoughts to this or to whether this was part of a greater design.  And, more important, it is not time to place blame upon yourself or others.  Do not allow your soul to be consumed by anger or blame. 
 

Finally, know that the guides, ancestors and masters are with your loved one.  Helping them transition into this new phase in their existence.  Their evolution is being aided by loving and caring beings.  They are not alone and are being guided and healed through what their life may have brought them.  As we evolve into spiritual beings, dealing with the transition into spirit will become less difficult for us to work through.  For now we still find it challenging and painful.  Be with those who love you and share memories.  For in these memories you will find comfort.  You will also find that they are indeed everlasting in your heart.
 

This is a difficult time that you find yourself in now, it will ease in time.  You are a being of light and loved by our Father, angels and all those in spirit around you.  Be at peace and remember that your dear one is in paradise.  Rejoice, for you are loved!

Living in a world filled with violence, hate and death can be a challenging prospect to look at, especially for a being which has chosen to walk on a spiritual path.  The state of the earth today seems to be ripped by violence in some corner every day.  This is something that should be a surprise to any of you.  If we look back into history we’ll see societies and nations wrestling through violence and revolt, some even falling to the violence they created and attempted to control.  Our modern times have reflected the same trend.  Although it can be difficult to watch, we should not just be in pain as we reflect upon the violence.  We should also rejoice and prepare for the approaching change.

To prepare for anything new and change we must first be ready to let go of the things which will not be bringing into the new space and which may be weighing us down.  As with any cleaning, you must move out the old and cumbersome items so that you can move the new wonders in.  This will apply to your full being; body, mind and spirit.

Spend a few moments today considering your life as it is at this moment.  All aspects of your life.  Look around your physical environment, look deeply inward and consider your spiritual condition and then let yourself explore where you are with your mental aspect.  What can you bring into these three areas of your life to make positive and rewarding progression?  And also, what do you wish to bring into these aspects of your life?  This is a great opportunity to make use of journaling.  Journaling and wish lists can help us on so many levels; we can not only organize our thoughts, we can also strengthen the connection with our higher selves, guides and the source.

Once you have given some time to truly see what you can bring into your life, you can now consider what you can let go of.  For this is how you can make room in your life for these new and exciting experiences you’re contemplating.  It is possible to work with the angels, ascended masters or your guides to work through releasing.  However, there is no judgment or lack of ability reflected if you need assistance with this effort.  Letting go and releasing can be a challenging process and you may want to work with someone to assist you.

To make room in your life and be ready to receive and participate in the joyous evolution coming is our goal today.  Identify what these areas are so that they can be cleared.  Be careful when taking steps that will start a process of change in your life.  Before taking actions to end relationships, leave jobs or sell property; please consult with your guides, practitioner or seasoned professional.  The message is to understand where you should prepare for clearing so that you can plan the correct course of action.  We do not wish to create greater chaos as we’re working on clearing chaos from our lives.  You may be surprised by what comes up for you, don’t be afraid to allow the information to express itself.  It’s important that you be willing to allow your higher self to communicate this information to you and that you are able to recognize it.  

Remember that you are not alone on your path and your feelings and experiences are shared by many.  Be at peace and know that you are loved and cherished.

Blessings to you this day

Today’s message is regarding prosperity.  I was given this word as a power word today and asked for a message for my clients & mail group, which they could apply and share.  I invite you to forward the below message to your friends and loved ones.  I hope you day has been a joyous one. 

This message was given the afternoon of 8/15/07

Prosperity is a word that has come to mean so many things.  Primarily, the meanings have focused on acquiring and maintaining a high level of physical wealth.  To become wealthy and to have more tangible things than we may have now.  The physical condition has taken over so much in this area of the human condition.  There was a time when having a place to live, food and family was enough to make the poorest man feel prosperous.  Now we need so much more to feel the joy of life.  To be abundant and prosperous is more than just having more tangible things, for blessings come to us in more ways than as the things we can possess.  Forget this is often why we feel the lack of prosperity.   The man or woman who lives only by that which can be purchased is someone that can never have enough, and this is a person who will never feel true prosperity.  More important, if one is unable to recognize the blessings of the day, one is unable to feel or receive the joys of prosperity.

Gratitude; be thankful for the blessings of the day.  To ask for blessings is just one step, do not forget to be thankful for those blessings.  Let the energies of gratitude flow from your heart to our Father when blessed with the gift of any level of prosperity (physical or spiritual), reward or answer to a prayer.  It is the gentle and beautiful exchange of energy which will further your abilities to receive in abundance.  If prosperity is the door then gratitude is the key.  Take a moment each day to give thanks to the universe and the source, let these energies come from you with true integrity.  For the universe operates on a level of give and receive, what you give you will receive in return.  If your gratitude has power in intent, then your return will have this same power.

Let’s work on that for a moment.  Take this time (whether at a desk, kitchen table or bed) to sit and review this day.  Think of all the blessings of food you ate, water you drank, job which has given you the ability to resolve debt, loved ones in your life and the home which keeps you sheltered.  All the many things you have been blessed with today.  Recognize them all.  Each element and aspect of your life, even the lessons and challenges you have worked through this day.  Blessings are given to us from our Father to guide and support us on our path.  Be thankful.  See those things which you may have found challenging and surround them with a golden bubble of loving energy and send your gratitude.  See those people which you may have found troublesome and send them your gratitude.  For, it is these challenges which give us the ability to grow and help us to evolve as spiritual beings on this earth.  See this golden energy surround your whole life, be in gratitude as you allow this universal energy to permeate your whole life.  See it and feel it.  As you are filled with this joyous and loving energy give thanks to the higher source, your Father, the Great Spirit, the Mother, God.  Let your emotions flow in love and with thanks.  See this as a loving and fluid river of gratitude.  With this energy you can accomplish so much and with this connection you can receive even more.  Take the time each day to create this river of gratitude.  Let your soul connect home.  Feel the presence and be in joy.  For it is with gratitude that we will receive blessings. 

It is always acceptable to ask for help and to state your needs or wishes.  Once you have built this connection you will begin the process of receiving and will be better equipped to recognize and take action as answers and solutions come to you.

Be in gratitude daily and you will find your life will transform.  Blessings and joy be with you always.

You are not alone in the world if you have a need to reduce you body weight or have changes that need to be made on how you live your life.  As a matter of fact, I have my own physical goals I’m working on achieving to improve my physical state.  The messages I have been receiving lately from the angelic realm and masters have been focused on guiding and helping us all to make changes in how we live our lives,.  Strengthening our spiritual connection and preparing us for the many changes coming through in the coming months.  As I sat today to put together my message, I was given some information that I truly hope you find supportive in what you may be working with this day.  This message was channeled this morning and comes from Matthew.

Why do we focus on the need for a healthy lifestyle and physical condition?  For the lack of better combination of words; to have a healthier state of life we need to live in a healthy condition.  It is not necessary to be in a “perfect” physical condition.  However, it is important to be in tune; body, mind and spirit.  Your body is not much different from a musical instrument and has to resonate at a healthy level.  Your physical, mental and spiritual states must be in balance and in harmony for you to be healthy.  To be healthy is to in a healthy state of mind, have control of your physical health and have that strong connection with the source or higher realms. It is difficult to make these changes to any instrument if you don’t take all parts into consideration. 

Let’s discuss the chakras for a moment.  The chakras are an extremely important part of your work when bringing yourself in tune and harmony.  If you imagine yourself as a musical instrument that requires tuning, the chakra system is the set of strings the technician tunes to bring the instrument back to a condition of playing beautiful tones.  Consider where you may have challenges in your life and make note of where in the chakra system these issues may connect.  Some of you may find that your challenges may reflect in the chakras in your center (the solar plexus and sacral).  Some of the physical attributes associated with these chakras are:  power, control, love, desire, appetite and even addiction.  This is significant when working on physical health challenges, for one can carry weight, blockages and organ challenges in your physical state that have manifested as a result of some other issues affecting your spiritual or mental states.  So much that we find ourselves struggling with throughout life can be identified in these attributes, working with these elements can help with your journey of clearing and growth.

We can work together with a simple exercise that you may use to identify and begin working through these issues.  Please be aware that there are a number of practitioners and resources available to you for deeper work and education.  I encourage you to take advantage of these resources to help you.  And do see your medical practitioner to help you if you’re experiencing the long term effects or a serious health condition.

Exercise to identify potential issues:  For this exercise we will be working with the solar plexus and sacral chakras.

Visualize each of the chakras floating in a safe and serene space in time.  Enter a relaxed and gentle meditative state, reaching out to your angels or the masters for assistance and protection as you work with the chakra system.  

See your chakras surrounded by the golden and loving energies from the higher source.  Seeing each chakra glowing, resonating and communicating with you.  When you are comfortable knowing that you have this direct connection with each chakra, see them laid down gently before you, reaching your spiritual hands over them – feeling their energies and hearing their tones.  Allow them to resonate in their sacred colors; Solar Plexus – yellow, Sacral – orange.

Ask them gently which one may resonate with any challenges from this or a prior life.  Don’t be concerned if you hear from both of them.  It is better to know what your challenges my be rather than living without this knowledge.  Once you know, you can begin working on your solutions.  Clearing and rebalancing chakras is a great experience which can help you with removing years of blocks and move your system into harmony more quickly.  As I have mentioned before, there are a number of methods you can use to clear the energies once you have identified them.  Work with your practitioner or facilitator to help work through this or work through the clearing yourself if you’ve been able to develop this technique in yourself.  The most important part is to be aware of the areas of your being where rebalancing is required.

When considering the need for improved health, the physical is very important.  Your body needs to be strong enough to keep you in a joyous quality of life.  Exercise is something your body needs, but you need to let yourself in gradually and you need an exercise that you truly enjoy.  It is not necessary for everyone to participate in extreme physical activities.  Actually, for some these exercises can be too strenuous and even dangerous.  Walk, ride a bike, dance, swim, or do what you feel is right for you based on your likes and physical abilities.  As long as the body is enjoying some form of activity.  Be in joy and have fun with the activity when exercising, so that it will be something you’ll be consistent with.  Drink water, so that your body can process the many years of toxins and pollutants your society has made a regular part of life. 

Finally, read and participate in activities and conversations that keep your mind engaged.  Your mental instrument is as vital a component in the human instrument as the physical and spiritual.  When you finish school you often forget the importance of studying and reading.  Engage your mind through; puzzle solving, research, writing, political debate.. all these activities are good for the mind.  The trend of fantasy sport activities are also excellent, for they encourage research, discussion and competition.  Enjoy a hobby and activities that engage the mind and are joyous for you.

As the human instrument navigates the changing times the planet is in, it can become more difficult to reach your goals.  This can be because you’re only addressing one aspect of the puzzle.  Look at yourself as one whole instrument and bring all areas in harmony together:

Body = Exercise

Mind = Read/Write

Spirit = Meditate

Be at peace and know that you are not alone in your travels.  Reach out to your guides and the higher realms and always live your life knowing that you are a blessed and loved soul.

The below message was channeled through my morning meditation today.  I am sharing this with you as it came through - flowing as it came from my Higher Self and our honorable brother Matthew and Arch Angel Michael.  Please feel free to share your comments with the board or directly with me via email.  Blessings.

As I sit in contemplation of the future, I realize how much more important it is for me to be in a place of joy and appreciation of the life that I have been blessed with - all the levels of my life; health, financial, spiritual, intellectual, etc.  You see, what we do each day affects every day that comes to us now and in the future.  Each decision we make today affects an outcome tomorrow.  This is a profound concept that we can become so caught up in that our lives can be brought to a stand still in fear of taking that next step. 
The Angels, Ascended Masters and our Guides have all come to us to help, guide and stand with us.  There are few (if any) things we can do to disappoint these agents and partners in our life’s plan.  All we need to do is ask for their help and guidance, then step back and allow them to aide us.  Listen and be aware of the many things they bring us as messages or direct assistance.  Learn to become aware of the energies and insights they send through for us.

Life is a blessed event that is celebrated when a child is brought into this world.  Celebrated with joy and gratitude.  You must not forget this joy as you live through our life and remember how your life touched the world when you first stepped into this life’s path.  Recognize the loving clouds of beauty and joy that are around you and be free from the fear and anguish you may have been conditioned by physical existence to live with.  These are not the reality our great Father had in mind for you when you were placed in this life. 

Joy is your goal today.  Do something for yourself to remember the time when you were in complete joy.  Read a book, take a walk in nature, play a game, watch a movie, talk to a friend . . do something simple yet joyous for you and KNOW that the Father, the Great Spirit, is ALWAYS in joy when He looks upon you.  You are the gift.  Open the wrappig and enjoy!

Be at peace and in joy and always have vision.

Love always,

Angel, Matthew and Michael
