Healing Angels

Have you ever woken up one day and found yourself not ready for what the day may hold?  Where maybe fear, frustration, or a blank wall of resistance seems to permeate your mind?  

The other day, I woke up like that and for the first hour or so, I spent energy trying hard to block the discordant emotions - to keep them from surfacing or festering. After wrestling with this for awhile, I decided to walk into another room, sit down, and ask for help from the angels.   

Within 20 seconds I felt a rush of energy shift inside and out, took a deep breath, let the worry and tension go, and relaxed into the soothing energy of the angels. They came to my aid, and all I had to do was ask and be open to receive. 

In full gratitude and relief, I sat in their energy for only a minute or two as I had a calendar of events to attend to. I would rather have stayed there longer and fully basked in the energy of the healing Angels; yet, I found myself going back to that space throughout the day for periodic angelic pick me ups. 

I hope you do the same today - and everyday - for the angels enjoy helping us out when we request their gracious assistance, and they also love to participate in our joys too. They're our 24 hour-a-day cheerleaders - and when we sit quietly for a few breaths, we can feel them with us, and may even hear theirs wings flutter.    

Spring into Growth

The spring season brings with it an undeniable hope, a lightness, and openness to freedom. The longer days, the warmer weather, and the ability to be outside more raises our spirits. 

Spring is also a wonderful time to check to see how we're feeling about life in general - what are we thankful for, what have we been appreciating more recently, what are we changing for the better?

Are we doing things out of obligation, or out of purpose or feeling like we're contributing? Are we finding a balance of doing things we want to be doing in addition to those we feel we should be doing? What steps can we take today to bring joy to our moments? 

Let's highlight all our strengths and infuse them with love and appreciation - asking Source and our Teams of Light to embellish and grow them. Let's request creativity and perspective to improve upon ourselves and find people to support us in areas that uplift our purpose and joy, and, in turn, that we find others to support and uplift with our strengths. 

Finally, let's remember that each of us in an integral part of the whole of humanity. Each of us is helping humanity evolve to a lighter way of being, one moment, one situation, one smile, one thought, one kind act, one realization, one helping hand at a time.  

Many blessing today and everyday!
 

Learning with Ganesh

As I make some bigger changes in my life, buried emotions rise to the surface. I know this is normal. These emotions include feelings I thought I had dealt with already, emotions or situations I know I've not dealt with, and still other emotions and limiting patterns of thought and attachment to things I didn't even know existed within me. 

It's been a bit of a roller coaster ride with the emotional, mental, and spiritual depths and heights that are available to us when we become more vulnerable in change. Of course, it is usually not easy for us, nor is it for those who live with us either. :) 

Regardless, I find that by inviting Ganesh in for assistance and comradery has been an overall uplifting, growth experience for me, although these words seem to fall ever so short. 

In the past I've previously worked with Ganesh on what I would describe as a more superficial level. More recently, I ask Ganesh for assistance in pushing through some emotional and mental muck. When I feel a small hurdle had been surpassed, I then ask for a clear path to my highest good in specific aspects of my life; then, back to pushing through the muck, and then again, back to clearing the path to a best and highest life. 

During that oscillation, which continues still, my heart seems to open just so - perhaps in that vulnerability - to experience Ganesh at a deeper level. I assume this is true for our connection to all deities or guides we work with - our own willingness and ability to connect influences the experiences we have.  

Through these experiences, I feel free. I feel calm. I have an inner knowing that all is ok and will continue to be ok. I'm learning to trust differently, and I'm letting go of old ways of being. 

I am sure many of you reading this may already have a wonderful connection with Ganesh and I may be considered as being late to the game. We all have a few "go to" beings we work with and for me, Ganesh is in the forefront of my world these days for whatever reasons, and I am enjoying his presence. 

So I'm writing this piece to give a shout out and a thank you to Ganesh for sure, and to all our Spiritual Individuals and Teams of Light who support us on our sometimes arduous path of human living.  

May we all be open to the blessings and goodness on their way to us now.   

New Beginnings II

It's interesting how new beginnings occur several times throughout our lives.  In reality they're happing almost daily - each day is a new beginning, each meal, workout, conversation, job, relationship, etc. New beginnings are happening all the time. The below is another reflection on New Beginnings. 

New Beginnings are happening all around us and within us - all the time. Our cells are constantly dying and regenerating, new days are upon us every 24 hours, new food comes in our home and bodies, new opportunities, relationships, experiences, travel routes occur on a minute-to-minute, day-by-day frequency. 

While we may be caught in a routine of things, there is still an amount of newness that pervades our existence - a new way of being, responding; or even thinking. Perhaps when you see the term "new beginnings" you find yourself longing for something new and different. Or maybe you feel a knot in your stomach when considering the next new beginning.  

New beginnings require an amount of trust and surrender to what was and what will be. New beginnings enable us to not know all the answers, which can be frustrating and refreshing. New beginnings may also show us where our stability lies - whether outside of the things that are changing or the change itself could be our rock.
 
Regardless how we interact with new beginnings in our daily life or in new chapters of our lives, one thing is certain - change in constant. We must be sure to savor the change and the growth that comes with it. Know that without change our depth of potential cannot be reached nor can our magnificence as unique divine beings shine forth.

How will you embrace change today?

   

Achieving our Goals

(Originally appeared in the Sol Angel March Newsletter)

 

By now I hope we have all secured the overarching essence of the year’s theme for our personal development and interests. With this knowledge we can plan steps forward, classes to take, groups to join, conversations to have, all while maintaining a balance from within. If you haven’t already, march on forward towards your goals this year. Take the vacation you always wanted to, or make the time for yourself or your family - whatever it is that feeds your soul. Power yourself up and go do it – and feel how super energized you can become!  

 

Following our hearts’ nudges can be like exercise - there may be some discomfort or even pain as we follow through on our heart’s plans – but when we reach a milestone, we look back with greater understanding and a bit of pride, knowing we’ve made it this far and can evaluate what’s next. Also, like exercise, the more we follow our hearts’ nudges, the easier it becomes.

 

So if you’re already on your path to your goals or re-evaluating them or making new ones, kudos to you and keep moving forward. For those who are still procrastinating, find ways to be accountable so you can be in the forefront of your destiny. Enlist the help of family, friends, or neighbors – or even a professional to assist. We’re all here supporting each other in our life journey. 

New Beginnings

New Beginnings are often associated with the New Year or the Spring season. However, New Beginnings can occur any time of year. Mother Earth doesn't necessarily know it's a new calendar year on January 1st - she keeps moving along as if it's another day. While her new beginnings are most associated with spring due to the regeneration of life around that time, new beginnings are occurring all the time.

Same for us in our own lives. New Beginnings can happen any time we choose based on our perspective. If we've been in a relationship for a long while and may tire of some of the routine - how can we perceive or act to create a new beginning for it? Can we incorporate more date nights, or perform some acts of kindness that warm our partner's hearts? We can apply the same for a job that we've held a while. In which ways can we perceive it as a new beginning, internally or externally? 

There are also times we don't choose the New Beginning - say a relationship ends, a death occurs, we get laid off from our jobs, or we graduate to our next level of education. While we may not have direct control of the changes themselves, we can regulate our perspectives during these changes and influence how the New Beginnings evolve. Certainly it is necessary to face the many emotions that arise during these unplanned moments, taking the appropriate time for us. When we reach the point where we can realize and accept that a New Beginning is emerging we can move into it gracefully, at our own pace. 

Be aware of any New Beginnings you can create or take advantage of for your own growth and healing and/or for positive influence to others. We are much better creators than we give ourselves credit for.
