Keep yourself in a calm oasis

When we develop, sounds and colours become more important to us.    What does this mean?  It means we are growing and learning and advancing so that is a good thing.

But, when we start to notice these things, it is a bit like suddenly seeing the dust in the corner - if it's your home you can clean the dust away, but if it is someone elses home you can't, can you?

I know now why I am drawn to certain colours at this stage in my development, and I have control over the sounds in my home but it can be very noisy in the workplace, and I can't control that.  But, I can pray for the negative people and I can keep my own work space calm and serene and so can you.

In order to deal with any chaotic forces around you, place yourself in a bubble of protective light each morning.  Then you can watch the pantomime going on around you and stay serene and calm in your bubble oasis.  Send out light and love to the people hurtling around you and hope that sometimes they pause long enough to absorb it.

Namaste!

Sensitivity

"You're too sensitive"
"You can't save the whole world"
"They just think differently to you"

How often have we heard these things, those of us who are sensitive?

Being sensitive is not a bad thing, providing we don't let it drag us down too far and upset us too much.  Use your protective white light, golden bubble or whatever protection you use, but remember that compassion for other people and other creatures is a GOOD thing.

People who are inured to cruelty are not wise.  They have let the world de-sensitize them and that's not good.

Getting upset when we see something cruel is our soul's way of telling us that this thing is wrong.  It should lead us to action of some kind - helping the person or animal or situation whenever we can.  We should not walk by on the other side of the road, but we must also know our limitations.

If you physically can't help, get someone who can, and if there is no-one then immediately give the situation to God.  Talk to the mountain, whatever the mountain is, and give the situation to God.  Angels are always available to assist us.

Being kind, being sensitive, being compassionate - these are good things.  But we must not expect other people to feel as we do.  You are an individual and if you are sensitive, it is a blessing.

If you are sensitive to other peoples unkind words, often offered in jest, then avoid these people when you can and when you remember to protect yourself each morning these barbs will not hurt so much and eventually will just flow away from you.  Mentally pray for any unkind people around you.  And remember, you do not have to sit quietly and allow people to verbally bully you - you do have options - pray for guidance on what actions you should take.

Hold your head up: you are a child of God.  He will help you to deal with any situations that may arise. 

You are NOT alone.

Why am I different?

Roses among the thorns

"Why am I different?"
I heard a child ask
"Why can't I be like my friends?"
"Why do I see things that they can't see?"
"Why can't they hear what I hear?"

"It's because you're special"
I heard the mother say
"You are special and sensitive dear, and that's why you see things that others can't see
And that's why, when they don't, you hear"
"But why can't I be like the others?"
The child asked
Her eyes filled with tears and she cried

"You are blessed with more feeling
You are blessed with more sight
And sometimes you are blessed, my dear child, from above
You are special, my child, and your heart is filled up
With more love"

I just had to help her and so I said
"Remember, dear child, when days feel dark
That people don't like us sometimes, when we are different
But don't be upset
You will learn to adjust and adapt"

"Don't ever regret that you are different, dear child
And when you are older you will find
These gifts are so helpful
If you use them with love
And as you grow older and wiser
You really will be pleased, so pleased with these gifts from above"

The child and the mother smiled at me
And we walked around the lake together
Because we knew that, although we are different
We are not alone.

Miraculous Nature

Kent, UK 2009

Visualize a window, a candle on the window sill - lit.  It's dark outside, the house is in the countryside.  See the sun coming up outside and spreading its light over the land in front of the house; gradually reaching the house itself and enveloping it in light.  A happy scene, a sense of hope, of healing, of opportunities opening up.  It's good. 

The inside of the house is still quite dark, although darkness is receding.  The occupants of the house are unaware of the golden light streaming towards and over their home.  They know that the sun comes up every morning, but they don't witness the magnificence of sunrise or sunset.  They accept the sun rises, they accept the sun sets.

Sometimes we take the miraculous for granted, and sometimes we see nature for what it is - magnificent!  Remember this today, remember that each night the sun sets and each morning the sun rises and KNOW what opportunities each new day brings - embrace the day and the opportunities presented.  This day is yours to do with as you will.  Life is precious, live each moment and don't ignore the miracles going on all around you - be aware.  Be appreciative.  Be loving and patient and kind.  Be you.

Spiritual Growth

Allow yourself to grow - spiritually, mentally and emotionally.  Be prepared for shifts in focus.  Be aware of others changing attitudes towards you - good and bad.  Don't take on other people's problems - that's theirs to deal with themselves.  Just be aware of how your developing spirituality affects other people.  Let other people grow and find their own way; they are on their own path - you can't fix everyone's problems.  Your path should head upwards towards brighter things and you will then find increasing harmony in every area of your life.

With spiritual maturity comes discernment - exercise it.  Some people will want to sap your spiritual light from you; do not allow this.  Lovingly point them in the right direction to find their own light and then move on.  Being spiritually developed does not mean you're there to be used.  Protect yourself, help others, but don't take their problems into yourself.  Release other people's vibrations from you after meeting with them; drink water, spiritually cleanse yourself and the place where you met and then move on.

You need to develop wisdom in all areas; ask your angels of light to help you whenever you need it.  Be happy.  Be peaceful.  Know that you are loved.

Basics

Love yourself first.  Don't see others through rose-coloured spectacles, but as they are - their true selves, often fighting against each other, often causing conflict.  They don't know who they are.  Most don't know about the light and consciously only wallow in the energies created by unillumined souls.  Pray for them to see their light so that they can push their heads above the fog and maelstrom of earthly emotions; push up to the light that illuminates everything and shows us the truth of what's real.

There are smoke screens here on earth and light above.  Shine your light to help others find their way.  Be a flashlight and shine your light wisely.  Some will not like the light being shone on them - the light reveals darkness and error - bless them and move on.  Some will be attracted to the light - help them to find their own light. 

As you go on your spiritual journey you will find that new friends will appear, people who also have the light and you will learn from each other.  Don't worry about the people who don't want the light - they choose their own path just as you have chosen yours.  We all have free will, absolutely, and we make our own choices.  Be patient, be loving and kind and respect yourself.  Do not sacrifice yourself for another - there is no need.  Other people must work out their problems for themselves, just point them in the direction of the light and allow them to empower themselves.

God be with you.

Don't Deplete your Energy

If you are continually giving yourself to other people, family, pets, work, etc. then your energy may be depleted.  It is your responsibility to fill yourself up again, spiritually.  You need to get enough rest, enough sleep and some quality time for yourself.  You are not a machine.  When you are tired you may be vulnerable to attack from a number of sources.  Remember to cover yourself with light and that will turn off the darkness.  It's like turning on a light switch, or shutting the door against the cold.  Use common sense - don't let darkness creep up on you; be vigilent.

You are worth looking after - remember that and don't put yourself last.  Allow yourself treats and pamper yourself sometimes.  Cultivate self-respect and love.  Dark energies may still try to worm their way into your mind, but cover yourself with protective white light and don't allow yourself to be depleted and they won't succeed.  Focus on the light.  Be well.  Be happy.

Faith

Faith in yourself (self confidence); faith in someone you trust; faith in God/Source; faith in your angels.  When you have faith in someone or something you trust them to do what they say they will.  You have faith that when you turn the kettle on, it will boil the water - why?  Because your experience has taught you that it boils the water when you turn it on.

As you develop a relationship with God/Source you will learn to trust Him and have faith in Him.  You will find that when He promises to do something He always does it.  Our part is to spend time with Him on a daily basis, so that we get to know Him and learn from Him.  Then you will become finely tuned to His frequency and will receive information on all sorts of things.

One dark, snowy, morning I was driving to work and sipping my coffee approaching a bend in the road.  I heard "Both hands on the wheel!" and I immediately put the coffee in its holder, slowed and was more alert with both hands on the wheel.  Right on the bend were two moose standing in the middle of the road!  I waited for them to move across and then drove on.  You never know when you'll need help, but if you're tuned into the Divine frequency it can be life saving.

Have faith in God/Source, angels of light and divine illuminations, but also have faith in yourself.  You are able to build a good relationship with Source and you will come to know all you can be and all that you are.

You are loved.  Be happy!

Silence

How much silence is there in your life?  We are bombarded by noise: TV, radio, computer, vehicles, people talking, talking.  If you don't have silence in your life on a regular basis then how can you hear from your higher self or Source?  Constant distractions pull at us: family, work, tasks to do.  Sometimes to get silence and some peace, we have to get in the car and drive into the country or take a walk around a lake.

I always feel closer to Source when I'm outside in nature.  I can feel His presence there with me.  At these times you can open yourself up to Source while you walk and you'll have communication without a standard meditation.  You may be impressed with solutions that you've been trying to find and there they are!  In the quiet, without the talk, ideas will come to you on a number of subjects.  It can be hard for your higher self to be heard above the noise of everyday life, but in the quiet, silent times, your higher self can get through much more easily.

We have all knowledge and wisdom available to us if we only listen and open ourselves up to receive it.  On closing, thank Source and cover yourself with light again and go about your walk, enjoy the scenery, the animals, the trees and all of nature.  You will feel that you are truly a part of it all.  We are partners on this earth and should work together as such.

Make your mind quiet - meditation and life

Our minds are constantly running, like wind-up toys.  We need to make our minds quiet when we're going into meditation.  You need to raise your consciousness to a higher level so that meditation fulfills its purpose.  Some people burn incense and play uplifting music before they begin meditations and this can certainly help.  When your mind is quiet, lift yourself up to the higher realms and seek upwards with your mind.  Source dwells in higher realms and divine wisdom is available for those able to receive it. 

We tend to complicate things, but if we aim for simplicity in our lives things will become much clearer.  Don't over complicate your life: less is more.  We should not fill every waking hour with tasks, we need quiet time each day.  Aim for a simpler life and you'll find that you're happier.  Choose.  The choice is yours: simple or cluttered: harmonious or restless: peace or frantic activity.

Even in the midst of a crisis we can act with calm assurance when we are centered, know who we are, and trust Source.  He will know what actions are needed in times of crisis and take the necessary steps to deal with it.  Quietly overcoming: no big scenes.  Fulfillment, peace, and joy await us.  Head towards peace, step by step, knowing that divine spirit is with you each step of the way.  Then you'll create a calm oasis wherever you are.  Let others run around in circles while you keep heading in the direction you want to go.

Depression

Photo by Angie Q. England 2009

When dark times come, take your problems to the divine healing light of Source.  He knows how you are suffering and He understands what you've been through.  Know this: It is not His will that you suffer.  Ask for His help to overcome obstacles.  Depression can descend like a dark blanket, blocking out the light.  It's because the earth's atmosphere has become so dense that it's hard for the light to get through.  When you're sensitive to spirit you'll find you're sensitive to darkness and this will affect you.  This must be the signal to seek the light.  Don't let yourself sink into the dark pit of depression - ask your angels of light to throw you a rope and they will pull you out of that pit.  Better still, ensure each morning you do your protection exercise and that will stop the darkness from getting to you.

Certain seasons of the year are darker than others, both because the days are shorter and because dark energies inhabit the atmosphere and are more prevalent at that time.  Do not allow fear anywhere near you, your home or your loved ones.  Remember the protection exercise will deter darkness.  Be vigilent and keep your home covered with light.  Source is good.  Ask for angels of light to protect you, your pets, family, vehicles and gardens at all times.  Angels are mighty warriors and are able to do tasks that we set them.  How wonderful!

Bullies cannot exist when light is shone on them and people stand up to them and it's the same with dark energies.  When the darkness tries to envelop you, stand up to it and flood it with light and it will leave.  I sometimes use my sword of light to slice through the darkness too.  Remember: Don't give the darkness credence by paying attention to it.  Focus on the light.

Listening

Listening is a lost art.  How many people really hear what is said?  Cultivate the art of listening, not just to the words, but to the thoughts behind the words, and as you develop this skill you will find many people will seek you out to talk to you.  Some of them, most of them probably, will use you as a sounding board, not interested in hearing your response but just talking at you.  Let them talk, it will help them to heal.  A few rare people will want you to participate in a conversation and will be interested in what you have to say.  These are people to be treasured and you can learn from each other. Two-way communication is very precious.

The people who talk, and talk, and never listen are not people to cultivate as friends because they will drain your energy.  Give them limited amounts of your time to listen to them.  What are they really saying?

Notice me!
I'm important!
I know everything!
I have a lot of important things to say, so you shut up and listen!

These people are either very young souls who don't know any better, and/or may be insecure people who have to talk, often loudly, to reassure themselves that they are important.  Listen, ascertain the problem, and lift them up to the light and ask for divine healing for them.  You will have increasing insights into peoples' behaviour and will learn a lot and they will receive healing.

A truly wise person does not waste time with a lot of talk, but chooses his words wisely and when he speaks, pearls of wisdom are the result.  These are the people to cultive as friends - seek and you will find.

Meditation Tools

The rosary: "Holy Mary, Mother of God, blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus." 

What spiritual tool do you use for meditation?  You need to find the best one for you.  Some people visualize divine white light coming down and themselves going up in the white light; some people chant a mantra or the rosary. 

As you become more spiritually developed you'll find what's best for you and it may change over the years as you enter spiritual halls of learning and obtain knowledge and healing.  Trust your instincts and listen to your inner promptings.  Help is available from higher sources for all aspects of your life, including meditation.  Ask your Guardian Angel to guide you in the best meditations for you.  We are all different and what works for one person may not work for another.

The importance of meditation

Clear your mind of debris once a day and sit in the presence of Source.  For some, the best time will be in the morning and for others, the evening.  Our minds become cluttered with thoughts, worries, tasks and goals.  Meditation helps your mind to be healthy and your whole body benefits from this.  Meditation will help you to focus more clearly on your goals and any time spent with Source is time well spent.  If you can discipline yourself to do this daily then you'll find you are impressed with wonderful ideas and solutions to problems.  You'll find solutions will come far more easily as your mind is tuned to a higher vibration and your higher self is communicating with Source and higher energies.  You'll get little internal nudges to take certain actions and you'll find if you follow them that, step by step, you'll achieve your goal.

There is no problem that is new or difficult to Source.  When you asked for assistance is not the first time Source knew you needed help.  But we have free will and help will only come if we ask for it.  Be specific and don't offer solutions; Source has all the solutions possible.  Angels will be assigned to assist you and don't forget to watch your words!  If you say the opposite to what you want the angels have to obey and work according to your words.  Our words are very important.

Do what you can and leave the rest to Source.  Duty is necessary, but schedule time for yourself to take a walk in nature, or spend time in a beautiful garden.  Nature is very important and you'll feel refreshed after spending time outdoors.  Lift your thoughts up while you're with nature and you'll sense divine energy with you.  Source loves a garden and all of nature.

Surroundings

What are your surroundings?  Do you know that our spirit and emotional states are deeply affected by our surroundings?  Do not force yourself to live or work somewhere that you don't want to be, that can cause internal strife and can cause physical health and mental/emotional problems.

If you love nature, make sure you see nature each day.  Plant your garden with the trees and flowers that you love so that it uplifts you when you see it.  If you don't have your own garden, is there a park nearby where you can walk?  Notice how you feel inside in different places.  Are you happier in a garden, or in a library?  Are you happier walking or driving?  Your instincts will tell you - listen to them and create the perfect home and work environment for yourself.  Everyone is different.  Do you love animals?  If so, do you have a pet?  Pets need attention and love but they give a lot of love in return.  When you're living in a place that feeds your soul, you will find that you're happier, healthier and more alert.  You don't have as much control over your work environment, unless you're self employed,  but either way you can make your own workspace uplifting.  Visualize it filled with white light and have things that uplift you in that space such as different coloured crystals, plants, and pictures of loved ones.

If you do not like going to work, ask yourself why.  Are you following your passion?  Follow your heart and ask for divine guidance to lead the way so that you can earn your living doing what you love to do, then follow the inner promptings that will lead you, step by step, to a fulfilling life.  Source knows and sees everything.  We can only see a small piece.  Ask and wait for the response and it will come.

You have the power to change your life.  Focus on what you want, not on what you don't want.  Let go of the fear and trust Source - He has the answers.

Faith and Protection

Faith is believing in something without any rational reason to do so.  This may be true at the start, but with faith in God/Higher Source and your angels of light, you begin to trust them and that trust increases your faith.  If you have faith in Source you will build a relationship with Him.  Each time you give a situation to Higher Source/angels of light and the situation works out well for you, maybe not always the result you wanted but what was really for the best, you build on that foundation of trust.  If you had a friend who always let you down, you wouldn't trust that person and over time they'd probably cease to be your friend.  Higher Source only wants things for your good and can see much further than we can and can see the whole picture.

In times of danger, I know absolutely that I can trust God/Source with my protection.  I put on my spiritual armour and go forward.  We are all unique and have all had different experiences, both in this life and previous incarnations.  We all act differently in situations and that makes us who we are.

Each morning I protect myself, my home, my pets and my vehicle.  Firstly I ask Archangel Michael to use his divine healing magnet to remove any negative energies that may be in, on or around me, my home and my pets.  Then I visualize myself putting on purple light, all around me, then gold light all around me, then I ask Archangel Gabriel to place a ball of reflective white light right around me.  This all takes just a few minutes.

Make your peace with God/Source, whoever you perceive Him/Her to be, and, if you haven't already, start to develop a personal relationship with Source.  Source loves you and is not waiting for you to go to Him so He can punish you!  True repentence receives forgiveness and don't forget to forgive people who have hurt you.  This is the beginning of finding your true power.  True strength loves and is kind.  True power and strength is compassionate and is never cruel or bullying.  Source is Love and is all-powerful - beware of imitations.

Love and Kindness

Love changes everything.  It adds warmth in a cold place, and it puts a smile on a sad situation.  True love, high and pure, is majestic in nature.  It shines benevolence and light over everything.  Love is kind and kindness is very important.  How often have harsh, negative words pierced your soul?  If there had been kindness, those words would not have been spoken.  Maybe you have responded with unkind words of your own - we can change our reactions to people, it just takes intention and faith to do so.

When people's actions do not match their words you know that person is not to be trusted.  'I love you' can be easily spoken.  Is that person there for you when you need them?  God/Source is always there and is always love.  It is not for us to judge another, but we must exercise caution in our business dealings and our private lives and must not allow someone we don't trust to influence us.  We need to develop wisdom and discernment in this world, while all the time loving.  This is something that requires understanding and patience!  Ask for divine help and you will receive it.  Trust your intuition.  There are a lot of fools pretending to be wise.  Exercise discernment in all things.  There are a lot of people who the world thinks are fools, but who are actually very wise.  Don't take things at face value.  Look for the true heart of the person or situation.  Sometimes we have to turn our brains off to do this!

Go deep within yourself and look deeply into the situation/person and you will see the truth of the matter.  Be prepared for some surprises when you do this.  Try not to be disappointed in people.  We are not perfect and should not expect others to be perfect.  What we should expect and strive for, for ourselves, is honesty, truth, integrity and love.  We must go forward with these expectations of ourselves and when we find those qualities in others it is wonderful.

You are loved

The Lord is good.  Yet He loves you - YOU.  You can't be so bad, can you?  Not if the Lord loves you!  Know this - you are a child of God, made in His image and He created you.  How can you think He does not love you?  How can you think you are not loved?

You ARE loved.  God loves you.  What greater good could there be?  You are worthy to receive good things.  Forget past conditionings by unillumined souls - you are worthy.  God loves you.  He has great things in store for you if you will receive them.  Ask Him for them.  Ask for the good things He has stored up for you.  He longs to give them to you.  He longs for you to realize who you are.  You are a child of God.  Lift your head up above the earthly problems created by lower energies.  You can do anything - you just have to tap into higher sources of energy and you have to know who you are and what is available to you.

You need to have a conversation with Higher Source/God and/or Angels of Light/your higher self - have a two way conversation, don't just talk AT Him.  God did not create you to be downtrodden.  He created you to rule and reign and have dominion, lovingly and fairly.  Remember this as you go about your day and remember to hold your head up.  Ask and you shall receive.  I dare you!  Believe as you ask and be careful what you ask for!

Seasons of Life

Seasons are a  blessing to the earth.  Snow falls as a blessing to the earth.  Rain comes as a blessing to the earth.  Sunshine and blue skies are a blessing to the earth.  Autumnal colours, leaves falling from trees bless the trees and bless the earth.  Spring comes at just the right time, bringing blessings to the earth.

Happiness, joy, laughter, tears, sorrow are all seasons in your life.  All are blessings in different ways.  Our lives, the seasons of our lives, match the seasons of the earth.  These cycles of life exist in all areas, that is the natural order of things.  Change is necessary for many reasons.  Our lives change as seasons come and go and we learn from each season.

Never wish for life to be the same every day, you wouldn't like it.  We need change, just as the earth needs change.  The autumns of our lives are different from our springs and rightly so.  We should welcome each new year and never dread growing old.  Think how many things you have learnt in your life, good and  bad.  Don't dread change.  Sometimes we need to move and change our surroundings.  It's always sad to say goodbye and leave familiar people and places.  But, remember them with fondness, they'll always be with you in your heart.  A new home, a new town, a new country: These are things to be enjoyed and savoured as new experiences.  Don't be afraid of change, it's the natural cycle of things.

If you feel it's time to leave a place, a person, a job, a town, ask for confirmation from higher spiritual sources to ensure it's the right thing to do.  As you grow spiritually, you won't have to ask so much as you'll instinctively know if it's the right thing to do.  A new home today, is a cherished and familiar home in a year. 

We are all different in many ways and the same in so many other ways.  Life is an adventure if you let it be so.  Is it time for a career change?  Is it time for a new wardrobe?  Any change will affect you on many levels.  Is it time to let go of sorrow and allow yourself to be happy again?  Only you know the answers to these questions.  Life is full of mysteries, many of which we can solve ourselves.  Sometimes we need a little help.

So, when the snow falls,  don't dread it, look upon it as a signal of change.  A timeless, honourable cycle of events, bringing a time of rest and revival to nature and the earth, a time of replenishment before the heavy growth of spring.

Seasons signal change.  Don't waste your life longing for summer, or autumn, or spring.  Enjoy today's season and, if you need to change something in your life, have the courage to do it, accepting all of its consequences.  Don't be a stagnant pond, be a babbling brook, joyously laughing and flowing onto the next boulder in its path, and rushing over the obstacles in the stream.

Your Life's Purpose

You are loved.  God/Source in His infinite wisdom made you.  You are here for a purpose - do you know what that purpose is?

Ask for divine guidance as to what your purpose is in this life.  Your natural likes and desires will point the way and Source will confirm it if you ask.  Before we come into this life we have created a blueprint for ourselves.  Do you feel yourself pulled towards a certain career?  If the feeling is always there, it's probably what you're meant to do.  There may be obstacles in your path, stopping you from pursuing that career.

Ask for help from Source/angels of light to deal with or remove the obstacles.  Life is precious - don't waste it doing any old thing that comes along.  Focus on your goals and you will get there.

Love is important - you are also here to give and receive love.  Do you look at people who know absolutely what they want to do with their lives and wish you knew too?  Ask Source and keep asking until you hear the answer.  You may find people cross your path who say 'don't tell me, you're a nurse, right?' or whatever it is you want to be, when you know in your heart that you do want this.  Once you know what you want to do, ask Source for help to achieve your goal.  Source sees the whole picture and knows a lot of people!  He can help you.  Listen for the response.  If you can't hear it, ask Source/angels of light to show you in a way you can't miss and wait for the response - it will come.

Following your blueprint will give you a sense of purpose, satisfaction and achievement.  Don't just let the wind blow you this way and that.  With purpose you will find happiness in life.

Life can be very good and Source wants your life to be very good.  God/Source is love and He loves you.

Regrets

Regrets for things we did that we shouldn't have done; regrets for things we didn't do that we should have done. Regrets are useful to learn lessons by, so that the next time we are faced with a similar situation we act differently. However, learn the lesson and move on. If you are genuinely sorry for what you did, or didn't, do, give the situation to Source and leave it there. Don't keep punishing yourself for it; just make sure that the next time you act differently.

If we're not careful, we can create a kind of hell in our lives, constantly punishing yourself does no good and can cause all sorts of health problems as well as spiritual ones.

Take your situation to Source and ask Him to forgive you, then refuse to let it back into your mind.

Quieten your mind and think of God/Higher Source. Remember that He loves you and wants you to be happy. Open yourself up to Source and He will flood your mind with love, joy, peace and abundance of all good things and spiritual love will be infused into your being. You and I are one with Source, with the universe and all life.

If you come across a situation where you want to help someone or something, and you're not in a position to do it, give the situation to Source. He'll either put you in a position to help or He'll get someone else to help. Prayer is very powerful. Solutions will come.

Keep looking up to the light - focus on the light.

Meditation Exercise

Visualize and say this: "I attract all good things to me like a magnet."

Visualization can be a powerful tool and you need one that resonates with you personally. One of my visualizations is a cross, as a sword, with a jewelled hilt up at my head and the sword reaching down to the floor in front of me. I use this sword to cut through problems and difficult situations and when I visualize it slicing through problems the solution comes to me. Visualizing a burning cross, or a regular wooden cross, in front of, above, below and to either side of you can provide good protection.

I believe protection should be carried out each morning, for our homes, our loved ones, our pets, our vehicles, our workplaces, and us. You'd be surprised at how many problems just don't happen when you protect yourself - but, of course, you won't know! Negative energies, although deserving of pity, do not deserve your time and energy. Some will be attracted to your light. Avoid interaction with them unless you are highly spiritually evolved. You'll find putting yourself in a protective bubble of divine white light will deter them; some will avoid you and some will be uncomfortable in your presence. Be polite, but do not invite these negative people into your home - most wouldn't be comfortable there anyway as if you are a light seeker your home will be on a higher vibration. Visualize them covered in white light, pray for them to be lifted up and leave Higher Sources to help them.

Focus on goodness and love and light and be aware that some may try to draw you downwards to their level - as you develop spiritually you will be able to discern others intentions. Some are even spiritually aware but are not seekers of the light. Use your best judgement and don't worry about these things - take concerns up to Higher Source and ask for guidance and trust that you will be protected when you've asked Higher Source to protect you.

Love and Light

Love and light - these two go together. How can there be light where there is no love? How can there be love where there is no light? Source is love and light.

Love comes in many forms - the pure light and love that comes from a pet, a mother, the divine; the affectionate love that comes from a true friend; the passionate love of a lover and partner in life. These are precious and fill us with purpose and a reason for living.

Extend that love to your garden and see how the flowers and trees respond -they need love and light like all of us and are a part of the natural order of the world. They are partners with us, with the earth, the water and the air, all working together to bring harmony, like pieces in a clock. All the pieces are important and when one piece is broken it affects the whole clock.

So it is with nature; polluted water affects the earth, the trees, the oxygen in the atmosphere, people and animals and insects. The whole cycle is affected.

So love and light are important weopons in our spiritual arsenal; never under-estimate their power. Ask for divine guidance on when where and how to use these tools. You can be extremely effective using love and light - they are very powerful tools.

Be Kind and Loving

All the creatures on earth know that Source made them. It was His will that they be created. It was His will that we have dominion. To have dominion does not mean to trample underfoot, or to abuse or use. We were meant to rule for the good of all - each and every creature. We are all interconnected and harming one person or animal harms us all. Our collective awareness has been diminished by cruelty, greed, lust and anger. We must raise it back up so that love runs like a current of electricity through the earth, the waters, and the air.

Once again, love WILL be predominant in the earth and our conscious awareness will be raised to such a level that it will be unthinkable to commit any unkind or cruel act. When we realize how powerful we are, who we are, and where we come from, we realize we do not need to exercise power over another person or animal, we do not need to dominate anyone or anything. What we need is to act in love, in kindness and in truth.

When we get to the core of our being we are nearer to Source. He is ever present. We are a part of Him. He loves all: We can and will love all. Raise the cosmic consciousness by raising your thoughts to a loving, harmonious and joyous pattern and these vibrations will lift the spiritual atmosphere everywhere you go. Work at this and you will have fulfilled a major purpose of your life. This will also affect your own physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health for the better and, as vibrations and atmospheres around you improve, miracles will happen.

Watch the results of this important spiritual task and thank Source for giving you the power to change things for good.

Communication with Source

Prayer and quiet, reflective, study of the word of God/Source - many inspirations can come this way.

Make sure you set some quiet time for yourself each day. Many find that mornings are best, before the distractions of the day begin. As you open yourself up to divine knowledge and power, keep an open mind and write down any revelations you may receive.

Before you meditate, try asking a question of Source and see if the answer comes. If not, go on with your meditation and ask the question again. Sometimes the answer is almost instant and sometimes it will take a few meditations. This is not because Source is unsure of the answer! It could be that you are not yet finely tuned enough to hear the answer, or it could be that Source knows you are not yet ready for the answer. Whatever you get, accept it; accept the first thing you get, even if you don't understand it. You'll learn to discern what's you and what's Source.

Our minds, cleansed with divine light and eager to learn divine knowledge are good places to receive and hold spiritual insight and a diary or notebook will help you to trace your progress along the spiritual path.

Always trust Source, asking for protection and for the highest and best only. Source made us so that we can communication with Him, other people, animals and the whole of nature. We are all one. Your outer life will change for the better as your spiritual self increases in knowledge and wisdom. Source looks forward to communication on a higher level with each one of us and patiently awaits our coming to Him. He loves us all. The creator of the universe; all powerful; all knowing; loves YOU! He gave us all free will and it is up to us what we do with it.

The Earth and Nature

Rivet, rivet, rivet. So goes the song of the frog. Do you know that God gave all his creatures voices and there was a time when nature lived in harmony with man and animals could talk to each other and to humans? We have come further and further from nature. We have disconnected ourselves from spirit, from the earth, from all creatures and nature - is this progress? No. We've been searching for knowledge in all the wrong places. True knowledge comes from within and from above. All the mysteries of the world are there waiting to be solved and all the time the answer is available from Higher Sources.

If you want the answers to the world's big questions, or the answer to your big questions, take the question up with you when you meditate and you will receive Divine knowledge on the matter. Source and His Angels give what you are ready to receive, when you are ready to receive it. The world was created out of love and it was intended that we live in harmony with each other and every creature. There was no lack, no wars, when the world was created.

By bringing ourselves back to God/Source, each one of us brings the world a litle closer to the day when love, peace and harmony will reign on this earth again. The deserts will again flower and bring forth springs and lakes of crystal clear, pure, water. Trees will reach up to the heavens and hold the earth together. Angels of light will walk the earth and interact with human beings and animals and there will be no more fear, no more killing of people or animals. The air will be pure and unpolluted and peoples' souls will be the same - pure and unpolluted. Love will be in the atmosphere of the earth.

Fruit and vegetables will be much bigger than you've seen and will provide pure sustenance for all. Mankind will think where he wants to be and he'll be there - there will be no need for vehicles, we will be our own vehicles. We will spend our days tending the garden of the earth and learning and gaining knowledge from above.

We are capable of many things, things that we can only dream of at present.

Keep looking for the light; keep learning lessons from above (Higher Sources) and you will be bringing Eden back to the earth. What greater blessing could there be? God is love.

Cleanse yourself of negative energies

http://www.energyrejuvenationtherapies.net/

I've put the above link here as Energy Rejuvenation Therapies can help in removing negative energies, and much, much more.  Crystals and all sorts of natural healing therapies are available here - give it a try!



Visualize pure, divine light. Feel it wash over you, removing any dark areas that you may have picked up. Visualize yourself bathing in it. It's gentle, but refreshing. Now visualize this light draining away, taking any impurities and negativities with it.

Next, visualize a gold light surrounding you - it's a healing light and it seems to glow- it's arced like a rainbow. Warmth emanates from this gold light, suffusing your whole body. Visualize pink surrounding the gold, now you have pink and gold arcs around you; the pink is for love. You are being healed and surrounded by love.

Thank your ministering angels of light and thank God/Source for the healing and the love.

Healing Visualizations

Visualize golden/white healing rays of love and light coming down from heaven and cascading over your head and your whole body. Feel them flood through your mind, through your neck, into your chest, your stomach and abdomen. Feel the rays flowing through your arms and into every fingertip, down your legs and into every toe.

As a child of God/Source, love and light are available to you any time you need them; you just have to visualize them. If you do this visualization often, your body should start to function better and old aches and pains should dissipate with this light and love. God loves you and wants you well. Did Jesus ever refuse to heal anyone? Of course not. God is love. You were created by love and love is your birthright. We all make mistakes - God still loves us. These healing rays of love and light can help to heal your emotions, mind, body and spiritual body. You know if you need to do this visualization or not and how often.

Ask for guidance when you do this visualization and trust your intuition. This visualization should clear blockages and allow your body's energy to flow as it should. Time spent in this way is valuable. You can even visualize this while sitting in the doctor's waiting room, or sitting in traffic, anywhere. You don't have to close your eyes to visualize these rays.

This visualization should help to calm you and help to balance emotions. You are worth the time to do this exercise - you are loved. God/Source wants you well and happy.

Always remember than any serious health problems should be brought to your healthcare professional.

Be at peace and know that you are loved.

Relax with visualizations

Visualize this: Wind sloughing through the trees, blowing golden, red and brown leaves around. Wind chimes singing in the wind. Trees gently swaying to the rhythm of the wind. Listen to the sounds that nature makes - really listen, and it will be music to your ears.

Can you hear what the wind and trees are saying? Do you think the trees are talking to each other? Maybe they are.

When we only live on the surface of life, we only see material things in one realm. As you increase your spiritual knowledge and awareness you will, in time, become more aware of other elements and you will get little glimpses. If you develop clairvoyance and your third eye opens you will be surprised at what you may see! It's as if you've been driving and never checking in the rearview mirror before!

Development of spiritual awareness can be an exciting journey - just remember to fasten your seatbelt! Ensure you spiritually protect yourself before any meditations - see other blogs on protection.

Spiritual Growth

Be cognizant of your reactions to words and situations, good and bad. Be alert to changes in emotions. When you meditate, take any concerns you may have to the light and ask for guidance about how to deal with problem issues. Notice how your intuition, that small, still voice within you, grows. You will find that the more you take notice of your inner guidance the more guidance you will receive. If you are given a word about something for a specific person, give them that word, quietly, clearly and in truth. Do not add to what you are given and do not take anything away. Just give what you are given.

You will find that as you develop spiritually, some things in your life will become clearer. You will realize that some problems are related to spiritual blockages and resistance. Do not judge yourself or others, but always truly repent of mistakes made. Take mistakes to the light and ask for forgiveness, then let it go. Do not carry around negative thoughts and emotions as this can harm you spiritually, emotionally and physically. Ask for divine light to wash away any errors and to clear away any debris: This is good housekeeping.

Love yourself. Love God/Source. The universe is like a giant jigsaw puzzle. It's not our job to complete the whole jigsaw, just the area around ourselves. Someone else has the job of completing the next area and so on. The universe is perfect and ordered. You are perfect. Claim your power through inner vision and enlightenment and have compassion for all beings and the earth.

Love is the key that opens the door. God loves you. The earth and all its creation longs to return to the state of love that existed when it was created. Flood the world with light and love and all of creation will feel the vibration.

Be at peace and be happy.

Rest

Be sure you get enough physical and mental rest. Don't always be thinking about the next task that needs to be done and, at the end of the day, ensure you have a couple of hours without having to exercise your brain. You'll find you sleep much better if you've given your brain time to slow down. When you meditate your brain benefits from the healing and pure light and knowledge that is drawn through your crown chakra, which is on top of your head. But there are other things you can do to help maintain good brain and body health.

Just as it's important to cleanse your outer body and your home, so your brain and inner body should be cleansed. Use the light. Visualize white light coming down through your crown chakra and filling up your head, neck, shoulders, down through your arms and into each finger tip. Next visualize it flowing through your chest and stomach, your abdomen and hips, down through your legs into your feet and every toe. That light will cleanse everything it touches. Do this exercise whenever you feel it needs to be done. Your body needs maintenance as much as your car!

As you develop spiritually, you must still pay attention to your body, it's where 'you' live and deserves to be treated with respect and love.

Thoughts

Thoughts are things and can become reality whether you want them to or not. Listen to your thoughts - what do they tell you? Do they say you're not good enough or that you don't deserve happiness/love/money/success? Thoughts come from your mind. Your mind is a machine that has been programmed through experience and it can be re-programmed with new thoughts. Manifestations of thoughts happen every day. You believe you're going to the store and your actions get you to the store. This works in all areas of your life. Watch yourself, diarize your thoughts and what happens. When you really believe something is going to happen, it will happen, because you'll take guided action to achieve whatever it is that you want to achieve.

If there's something you really want, ask for guidance about the best way to get it. You will receive an answer. But you must take guided action. Daydreaming is creative, but will not become reality until you start to take action to achieve your desire. For instance, do you want a new home? Then start looking for the perfect home for you and your family, start the search, believing things will line up and you may be surprised at the outcome!

Source sends help in many ways: An inspired idea, a person who gives advice, a book you may be reading. Source/God is not limited to divine visions: He deals with the here and now as well as the eternal and He wants us to be happy.

Listen to your inner voice, the inner promptings, and take guided actions to achieve your goals. If you want to cook a meal you have to make sure you have the right ingredients and that the oven works - common sense has been given to us to use. In addition to common sense we have all of God's knowledge available to us, one idea at a time. We are blessed. We should be happy and can be happy.

Always be thankful for what you have. That does not mean you have to settle for less than you want. It means be thankful for what you have and where you are, while reaching for your goal, whatever that may be.

Source loves us - we are loved.

Negative Feelings

You may be frustrated that you can't physically do the things you want to; you may be frustrated that you're not achieving your goals as quickly as you'd like. Take these feelings to the light and ask for guidance in how to achieve what you want. Ask for guidance about how to be physically healthier. All knowledge exists to help you - you only have to ask and receive the answers from above. You'll be surprised at how interested spirit is in helping you with what we may conceive as mundane matters. Everthing's important to spirit because YOU are important to spirit. We are on the earth to experience earthly things, to spread light, to learn and grow spiritually. Spirit is always ready to help - you only have to ask, and listen for the answer.

As you develop a relationship with God, or Source, whatever you conceive Him to be, you will learn to trust Him absolutely and with the trust comes rest and peace. You are not alone: You are one with the universe, part of the complete picture. Spreading light and love affects countless beings by enabling a shift in consciousness, a higher frequency shift. You would be surprised if you could see it, it's real, tangible, but of course, cannot be seen by most people. However, people will feel it, even if it's on a subconscious level.

Have you ever been to someone's home you haven't visited before and noticed a bad, angry, or negative atmosphere? Or a happy atmosphere, where the place is full of love? Feelings have been infused into the atmosphere of that home by the thoughts, words and actions of the people living in it. That's why its so important to imbue your home with love and peace so that you live in an environment conducive to spiritual knowledge, compassion and light. You will then find your days harmonious with the positive energy forces you enlist in your home. If you go out to work, ask for guidance for the best ways to fill your workspace with positive vibrations. Visualizing your work environment filled with light may be all that's needed, but if you have negative or angry work colleagues then you should ask for additional ways of clearing your workspace.

A healthy atmosphere at home and at work will help you to maintain a healthy mind and body. You are loved and are worth spirit's time and effort.

NB: When I talk about 'spirit' this is a generic reference to Higher Source Beings - it could be your higher self, angelic beings, God/Source and our Guardian Angels - remember to listen for the answers to your questions - answers come in many ways - impressions, thoughts, an article we may read.

Lifting your spirits

Here are two beautiful things to meditate on: Sunshine and roses. Picture the sunshine, warm, yellow, vibrant, filtering into your home and casting its light into corners, filling them up with its happiness: We usually relate sunshine to happiness. Think about sunshine and it does give you a warm and happy glow.

Visualize roses: Beautiful, perfectly formed, wonderful colours and with the bonus of a beautiful scent.

Visualize sunshine and roses on those days when you feel a bit down and the combination will lift your spirits. For me, any kind of nature lifts my spirits. A walk in the forest or beside a stream and I feel connected, once again, to nature and the important things of life.

Rainbows are another thing that make me smile; such beautiful colours in the midst of a rainstorm, seem to be synonymous with hope; after all, if something as beautiful and multi-coloured as a rainbow is created by sunshine and rain, surely our own situations can be turned into something good, just by sunshine being added to them.

Try it yourself: Picture a rainbow, sun shining through the rain - is it making you smile? The next time someone upsets you, or an unhappy situation occurs, visualize a rose, some sunshine, a rainbow. Of course, the situation will still be there, but you may be in a stronger frame of mind to deal with it.

Make a conscious effort to raise the vibrations in and around you and happier things and situations will be drawn to you.

Happiness and Abundance

Think about what you want from life to give you happiness. When you think about wealth, know that wealth may ease some problems but it's not the main ingredient. A happy life needs a few good ingredients to make it satisfying and fulfilling, just like a good recipe. If you concentrate on developing your spiritual side and look up to the light and learn, you'll find other aspects of your life will fall into place and you will start to feel happier about things and good things will follow.

Concentrate your thoughts on things that uplift, things that inspire. DO NOT DWELL ON PROBLEMS AND NEEDS or you will keep the problems and needs around you. Believe the universe contains all you'll ever need and trust it to bring it to you. There is no shortage or lack in Heaven. That's the truth. Ask higher sources for ways to visualize abundance and manifest it in your life and ask them to help you succeed in your visualizations and to obtain your goals.

God is love. Lack does not come from love. Love is generous, abundant, kind, warm and giving. Divine light emanates these things - you know that in the core of your being. So, when your outer life does not mirror this, know that you're looking at the wrong thing. Look for, and expect, abundance, love, kindness, and generosity and it will manifest around you and your circumstances will change to mirror what you visualize.

Make sure that you visualize what you want rather than what you don't want. God is love. God loves YOU.

The importance of words

The world is full of voices, talking, talking, but few have anything important to say. Think about what you're saying, words are important, please don't reduce them to noise.

Words can carry such a weight, a weight of love, a weight of common sense, a weight of enlightenment, a weight of compassion, a weight of knowledge. As you develop spiritually you must become more aware of your words: Things that you say in your everyday interaction with friends, colleagues, relations and pets - they all matter. Don't say whatever comes into your mind. Think before your mouth opens and make sure you're pouring out love, wisdom, joy, and peace so that light goes to whoever or whatever you're speaking to.

Listen to your words. They should never deliberately hurt or upset anyone or anything. Remember, we are not to judge. We are to learn and we are to love. Love inspires people. Kindness always helps! Wisdom brings knowledge. It is not your responsibility to ensure that someone understands what you are saying; that responsibility belongs to the person you are talking to. Your responsibility is to pour love and peace into the world and their responsibility is to receive it.

Do not concern yourself with another's knowledge or abilities - that's the other person's responsibility.

Rest on this truth and trust God: He can speak through you, through intuition and inner guidance. God sees the whole picture. You don't need to see the whole picture. Trust God and emanate love to ALL beings.

Listen to your words.

Love

Love: What does it mean to you? The highest and purest earthly love comes from a place of spiritual oneness with another being and is completely unconditional. Animals have the ability to love us unconditionally. We can learn many lessons from animals. The love of God is all-powerful and can move mountains.

Sometimes we block love so that it can't get in. We think this will prevent pain at the loss of love or the loss of the being. Don't do that. If we deny ourselves the experience of loving, wholly and completely, then we deny the reason for living. Love, with its joys and pains, enables us to experience being truly alive. Embrace it and if separation or loss comes you'll still have the warm glow of remembered love in your heart. Associations can be very powerful. If we allow ourselves to associate love with pain we will deny ourselves the pleasure and whatever we think about, good or bad, can be attracted into our lives. Be sure you think of the good things associated with love and don't dwell on any pain you may have experienced. Remember that true love can move mountains, whatever those mountains in your life may be, and can inspire great works of art, literature and brave and courageous deeds.

Love conquers all. Any previously bad experiences should be released to the light for cleansing and transmutation. If you opened a can of peaches and the peaches were bad, would that stop you from ever trying tinned peaches again? I hope not! One bad can is a shame, but should not shape your feelings about peaches forever.

Remember, God loves you. The universe is full of love - immerse yourself in the spiritual and Divine love that is available to you and give love to all creatures in return. Love and you will be loved.

God bless you.

Worry - don't do it!

Don't waste time or energy worrying about things. Worry is corrosive and it eats away at your confidence and your happiness and is never productive. Focus on the light and whatever you're concerned about will resolve itself. Shift your focus to possibilities and intuitive thoughts will prompt you to take the action necessary to achieve your goals. Trust your instincts and pray for guidance, and help, in solving whatever situations arise. Listen for the answer, and wait till it comes.

The barriers to receiving answers are of our making: Even if someone is talking to you, you won't hear them if you tune them out or don't listen and it's the same with guidance from higher sources. Quieten your mind and raise your thoughts to a higher level. Ask for Divine protection as you begin to meditate. Ask for guidance on the subject concerning you and listen for the answer. Be aware of feelings coming and words coming into your mind. People 'hear' in different ways. Trust what you receive. You may also receive impulses to do certain things throughout your day. Learn to trust and you'll learn by experience what's from a higher source and what is not. It's a learning experience, there's no shortcut.

Be aware of your emotions and feelings and try to be objective about them. Spiritual progress will take place; some grow faster than others - remember, this is not a race! You must grow at your own pace. Remember, lessons learnt from previous lives can be tapped into as we grow spiritually.

Enjoy the learning process. We are truly wonderful beings with great potential, and the more developed we become the more we can achieve and the more light we can bring into the world. It truly is a privilege to serve, and a joy!

God bless you.

The importance of thoughts

What do you think about when you wake up? Do you dread the day ahead? If so, then you're setting yourself up for a bad day. When you get out of bed each morning, smile and say 'thank you' for a good day ahead. You'll find that simple action will shift your consciousness and put your mind onto a happier path.

Thoughts turn into things - do you want a bad day? Of course not! So think a happy day into existence. What's our morning routine? Maybe you should put some calming music on while you eat your breakfast. Notice your emotional and mental state as you drive or walk to work - is there a knot in your stomach? Are you going somewhere you don't want to be? If so, try asking for guidance from Source about a career or job change. While you're waiting for the guidance or change to happen, fill your workplace with light. Flood your office and/or work building with light and place a protective halo of golden light around yourself before you get there.

Are there people you feel you 'have to' interact with, who drag you down, or who you feel are spiritually alien to you? Ask yourself if you have to spend time with that person. Maybe, if it's a family member or colleague, you can limit the time you spend with them. Visualize them covered in light. Very often we allow situations and people to pull us down when we don't have to. Ask for guidance from Source about any problem situations or people in your life. Help is available to you. Ask for guidance from above and it will come.

The Light

The light comes in many forms: Sunlight, daylight, electric light, flashlight, candles and spiritual light. Spiritual light comes from within and when discerned can appear as bright as daylight. When we connect to our creator, He brings all goodness to us and it can be overwhelming. His goodness is pure, pure light. It can reveal our own imperfections, but we shouldn't let this make us feel inadequate, that is not the intention. The intention of Higher Source is to love us just as we are. But because we are so loved, it makes us want to be better people and it encourages us to learn more. How can we learn more? Through meditation, going up to the light and absorbing knowledge, and through study and contemplation. Some people disassociate themselves from society because they are on a quest to find out more and more spiritual truth and the world can be a distraction. You don't have to do this, however.

You need to set aside some time each day to reach up towards the truth, and, little by little, you will learn. None of us will learn all there is in one lifetime, but don't concern yourself with that. Each lifetime will provide learning opportunities and your higher self remembers them. Each meditation will provide a learning experience. Some things your outer self will not remember, but your higher self remembers them. Each meditation will provide a learning experience. Your higher self will absorb higher knowledge.

We are wonderfully built and capable of great things. Even a sage on this earth-plane knows only a fraction of what we are capable of doing and being. We are creative beings and those among us who are sensitive and susceptible must protect ourselves spiritually and physically from the destroyers. Trust your instincts. Be guided by your feelings. Don't allow negative or destructive influences to crush your blossoming spiritual flower underfoot. You are responsible for your own protection - seek guidance about this from above. Remove yourself from potential harm. Negative, violent words and images should be avoided. Then, as you get spiritually stronger, negative, violent people will not seek your company and will feel uncomfortable around you.

Focus on the light, not the dark. Keep your eyes above, not below. All will be well. Be safe and know that you are loved by Source.

Be blessed and seek the light.

Shine your light

Any less fortunate people or animals should be lifted up to the light in prayer. Ask that light and love be brought into their lives in a powerful and profound way. Forgive anyone who has hurt you in any area of your life and lift them up to the light. See yourself surrounded in light as you do this. No darkness can come into the light, if it tries the light will quickly suffuse it and it will dissipate. See your home filled with Divine light.

For protection: Flood your home with Divine, white, healing light, and visualize each room immersed in it. Visualize yourself taking a paintbrush and dipping it into a bucket of light. Paint this light all over every window and door in your home. Then visualize dipping a paint roller into the light and roll this over every ceiling and floor in your home - then do the same with the walls. Tip the buckets of light that's left over down your drains and that will spiritually cleanse the drains too.

Next, visualize your home filled with light; visualize it encasing your entire roof and chimney, flowing over the outside walls and all over your lawn, trees, and entire outside area. Everything has now been covered and cleansed with healing light.

Picture yourself climbing into a bath of silver-white light and completely immersing yourself in it. No darkness can exist where there is light.

Become the light and become a beacon to anyone looking for purpose in their life. Shine your light today. Ask God/Higher Source to shine through you today and illuminate any situations that need illumination. Shine.

May God bless you.

Peace

Peace is something some people strive for. It's not something to strive for, it's something to accept. Whatever you do in your life, peace is available to you wherever you go. You'll find it within, not without. When you find and accept the peace within you, nothing will shake you. Whatever happens around you, you'll be peaceful within. This peace will enable you to make clear decisions, not based on fear, but based on the truth of the correct action to take. You'll know what you should do, where you should go, what you should say, because in the core of your being you are peaceful and not swayed by emotions. You'll be able to ascertain the correct course of action from this core of peace.

Cultivate peace and everything will fall into place. Ask the higher sources from above to lead you to peace and you'll find true happiness wherever you are.

Harmony and Balance

Today is a new day; yesterday has gone; tomorrow is not yet here. Don't dwell on the past. Learn your lessons and move on. Good and bad are required to give balance, like thirst and water. Listen to your inner voice - it will guide you. Your higher self knows what's needed and what actions should be taken. Listen to your inner voice. Don't get caught up in the ceaseless maelstrom of existence. Keep your inner being calm and grounded and you will achieve your goals. Precious jewels are wisdom and peace - cultivate them.

Solitude is needed but so is interaction with others. Balance these for perfect harmony. Don't be afraid. Trust God and your higher self, which comes at times as an inner voice.
