Angels Speak - The Act of Forgiveness

 

The Angels tell us that grievances stifle our growth. Whatever wounds we have suffered usually creates resentment or hate and anger. 

Currently, different events in the world are showing us these acts of anger that are expressed in extreme forms of violence.  How much hurt do these acts cause?  Are they actually payment for the original act of whatever aggression?  It seems that the cycle keeps escalating without anyone achieving satisfaction. 

Is there a solution for this cycle?  Yes, however, the solution is in each person.  The individual makes the choice to act or not to act. 

Namaste.

Angels Speak - Speaking of Love

 

 

The greatest weakness of most humans is their hesitancy to tell others how much they love them while they’re still alive.
Olando Battista

The Angels tell us that the world really needs a lot of love right now, and that we need to tell our family, our friends, and all the people that surround us that we love them.

We find that saying the words "I love you" in what ever context exists are some of the hardest words to say.  Is it because we are stingy with our love?  If so, then love shrivels and dies.  Is it because we feel vulnerable?  If so, then we swath our love in fear, and the fear, not the love, grows. Is it because we withhold as a form of control – I don't love you unless?  Then, LOVE is lost in the struggle for power and control.

The Angels say, "Let the love flow without limits."

Namaste.

Spirit Animal - Jack Rabbit's Luck

In many cultures, Rabbit is believed to be a sacred animal because he brings such good luck.  When a Rabbit died, people tried to preserve the luck by using all its parts.  This is why many people will carry a rabbit's foot when they feel that they are being unlucky.  In early days of television, the extra antennae shaped like a V were called "Rabbit Ears" because the marketing people thought people would associate the luck with the technology.  People were lucky to lock into the TV signal. 

Rabbit celebrates every spring with wild dances as part of their mating ritual.  Some believe that the May Pole dance is based on the complex hopping and movements that Rabbit does.  Many believe that when Rabbit runs before you, she is leading you to abundance.  And, when Rabbit runs away from you and does not run parallel with you, that Rabbit is showing that you will have mediocre luck.

Namaste.

Angels Speak - How Far Can YOU See?

We often wonder why we cannot see into the future.  We would like to know whether we will achieve or have great abundance.  One of the reasons that we don't see into the future the Angels tell us, is that seeing something down the road may become a barrier to achieving even more. 

There are no limits other than the restrictions that we place on ourselves.  We are not without resources or imagination.  Sometimes, we just do not know what to do with it. 

Namaste

Angels Speak - Where Do You Stand In the Challenge?

If you decide that you will not meet the challenge, it is okay.Reflect on why you could not meet this challenge.  Is it the situation, the ethics, the timing, or the challenge itself?  Passing on one challenge does not mean that you will always pass a challenge.  Each time you face a challenge, acknowledge it and then make your choice, you grow in confidence and self compassion.  You are learning a harmony of self and self care. 

Change is eternal.  Be at peace with it.  Let if flow through you and around you.  Walk with change, with grace and ease.

Namaste.

Angels Speak - Day By Day

Is it not funny?  We think nothing changes, and yet daily, change happens.  The Angels tell us that our bodies and minds are built to handle change.  We were designed to accept change and find ways to manage how we would interact with the change.

The Universe gave us a a model to follow.  Nature changes daily and has four distinct seasons of change for the flora.  Weather changes daily, and has many patterns that it follows. Wind is the best example of the many patterns that weather can flow into.

The life lesson that change forces on us that change is most easily adapted if one goes with the flow.

Namaste.

Change How You Work

All our lives, we have been taught that we need to work hard.  Hard means…not soft; solid and firm to the touch; unyielding to pressure and impenetrable or almost impenetrable… from Dictionary.com. 

We can still have focus and work steadily. We can work from home or from a cafe or even from a library unless your job calls for you to be hands on such as a welder or an electrician.  Even then as a welder, you want to work steadily and with focus, and with flexibility.  If you do everything hard and one way, your welds may break.

We are at a time in society when the concept of work is changing.  What is your new definition of work?

Namaste.

Changing Scenery

Imagine that you could be in a cottage along side the beautiful Shuswap Lake.  A change of scenery gives one time to mull over the events that have happened over the past several months.  A change of scenery takes you out of your everyday life and lets someone else drive for a while. 

The air, the food, the temperature, and the surrounding woods and lake ease you. It is an opportunity to be in nature without any obligations to make meals, to cut the grass, or to do chores of any kind.

Angels Speak - Do You Help Others?

The Angels talk about those people that are always looking for an angle or benefit before they do anything.  We call these folks "opportunists". 

The Angels talk about those people that are always looking to help someone in need.  They help someone without expectations of reward or notice.  We call these folks "angels without wings".

A good exercise is to write down, at the end of the day, all the people you helped today without expectation of reward. When you are at work, most of what you do is part of your package as an employee – including helping others.  It is when you go beyond what the job requirements are and the help is truly needed, that you are successful.

The key to helping others is to ask whether they need help, and let them say 'yes' to give you permission to help them.  Some folks do not want spontaneous help because they want to make sure that they cannot do it themselves, first. 

Namaste.

Angels Speak - No One Owes You

The Angels tell us that we need to get over the whole idea that someone – parents, spouse, friend, child – owes you.  We have been taught through banking and trade transactions that an action or activity creates a requirement of payment.  This is a concept that feeds the idea of greed and revenge.

When you give, give freely so that your karma is pure.  Let go of the need to have reimbursement of some kind.  It will not happen, especially with family.  Love yourself enough to be free of the trap of "owing".  It leads to resentment.

Namaste.

Spirit Animal – Lion on Pride

The Lion speaks about his PRIDE – his family, and pride and joy.  Lion says that you do not get to default on your responsibilities to your family. If you decide to walk away because you need a change, know that you can never go back.  When your PRIDE is gone, it is taken over by  a new leader/father/teacher, and the memory of you is dust.

The PRIDE is dependent on one another and although each lioness, cub, or lion is individual, they also have an identity as a whole. Change is a constant to the PRIDE.  Some are born, some leave, and some die.  It is the circle of life.  The constants are the rules of the PRIDE, and the survival of the PRIDE.

Namaste.

Angels Speak - Write Your Story Down

 

The Angels tell us to write our story down from time to time.  That way, over time, we can see how our story changes as we grow and change.

Our memories are not perfect.  The memories do change, or, are even forgotten.  Tell the story of your parents and grandparents for they too are part of your story.  Watch the events in their lives be repeated in your life.  It happens.  We can see the repetition.

When we look at our life over time, we see events or themes that repeat themselves.  Everything is about learning your identity.  Everything is non-sense and over time, makes sense.  We are never complete because we are always choosing different things.  Writing about your self will show you the choices and the outcome of the choices.

It is all good!

Namaste.

Angels Speak - Make a Change

Have some compassion for yourself.  If life is not working, make a change. 

Make a prayer for change.

Perhaps all you need is the Serenity Prayer.

If you need help with your prayer, here is a wonderful prayer for accepting change from www.spiralgoddess.com

Namaste.

Angels Speak - Leave The Past

Here is a big change – leaving the past.  History is a learning tool, not a whip.  So many people get stuck in an event in the past that they lose themselves and miss the good things that occur every day.  If you are moaning about something that happened… you are living in the past. 

Every morning, it is okay to say, "This is a new day.  I can start over."  Find the right thing that works for you, and stick with it until you are ready to make the next change.  We need to be adaptable and we cannot do it without changing a lot of things in our life. 

Namaste.

September 1 2016 - Do Something That You Have Never Done

The theme for September is CHANGE… whatever it is you need to change.  Perhaps it is what you read or watch on TV.  Perhaps it is the colour of paint on your wall.  Just maybe it is your friends that you need to change. or your job, or your house, or your city, etc.

Change is pretty scary for most of us because we are pushed outside our comfort zone.  However, if you stay in the flow, then change just becomes another day and another action. 

Feeling chaotic while you are making a change is sometimes a signal that you are going against the flow.  If you are feeling that it is a fight, look at your situation and write down what all the obstacles are.  Maybe you are creating obstacles where none should be.  Maybe you or others are creating drama where none should be.  Look at it with love and see if that makes a difference.

Namaste.
