The Angels on the Economy by Doreen Virtue

Economic conditions are more affected by human beliefs and expectations, than by oil prices or political concerns. This is true for you personally, as well as for everyone globally. Your personal finances are greatly influenced by your expectations and emotions, so it’s doubly important to keep your thoughts and feelings at as high a level as possible.

The angels advise:
  • Avoid any thoughts or discussions about blaming politicians, countries, or anyone else for your personal or the global economy. Placing blame upon others puts you in a victim role, energetically. This lowers your energies, and has you attract more experiences of victimization.

  • If you are around someone (including a media report) who is making negative statements about money or the economy, silently (or aloud if the person is open-minded) say: “Cancel, Clear, Delete” or “In spiritual truth, we are all perfectly and abundantly supported. I now open my arms to receive and share plentifully.”

  • Engage in activities that make you happy! Please don’t scrimp on hobbies or trips, but instead look at them as investments in your happiness, which is the most important influence in your personal economic conditions. When you are happy, you automatically attract and create new opportunities. Your happiness also lifts up the energies of those around you.

  • Affirm frequently: “God is omnipresent love, wisdom, and creativity. I am forever one with God’s grace and love. I am completely supported in all ways by the love of God. I follow my Divine guidance along pathways of giving of selfless service, and receiving the support that God offers to everyone.”

  • Keep your thoughts about other people’s finances at a very high level. Frequently affirm that we are all richly abundant in all ways. Avoid any pity thoughts about anyone, but do give donations and support as you are guided.

  • Don’t worry about HOW your finances will be supported or resolved. Remember that God’s creativity, wisdom, and love is boundless. Your prayers will be answered in surprising, miraculous, and unexpected ways.

  • Whenever you get a strong intuitive lead to do something positive, follow it without delay! Remember that God frequently answers your prayers by giving you strong and repetitive messages to take action. These messages may come to you as an emotional or physical feeling; an idea or inspiration; a vision or dream; or words that you hear. As you follow this guidance, you co-create the answer to your prayers.

The angels say that we are already collectively seeing economic improvements which will continue into October and November. You can see and experience these improvements for yourself with faith, hope, and trust. Pray for more faith, and it is always given – I especially recommend praying for increased faith, hope, and trust as you’re falling asleep – you’ll be amazed at how much better you feel when you wake up in the morning.

I am praying on your behalf, as well.

It's an amazing commentary to our lives when a day for relaxation has to be "declared."  Between running around here and there, worriying about the bills and the "things" to be accumulated, the wars, the housing crisis and the price of gas..whew!  I'm exhausted just thinking about it! 

My favorite way to relax is a few minutes of meditation.  I've had so many people tell me "but I just CAN'T meditate!  My brain won't shut off!"  But to that my response is this:  just like exercising, meditation is like training muscles to develop greater and greater capacity.  Start with 3-5 minutes then work up.  After 15-20 minutes of meditation, I feel like I've had a 2-hour nap!  I can choose to visit one of my favorite locals like Kauai or Bali.  Or I can just focus on relieving my headache or visualizing a great day unfolding.  If you need some help , I can personally recommend Kelly Howell  www.brainsync.com and Doreen Virtue http://www.angeltherapy.com as some great resources to start with.

Life is short and can change in the blink of an eye.  Go to a movie with you family, meet a friend at the coffee shop for some catch up or go throw the ball around with your kids at the park.  Why not pick up some sandwiches and make an evening of it!  Whatever you choose to do, I hope you take a few minutes out smell the roses and have a mental break to recharge.  What have you got to lose (except some stress)?

God Bless and Take Good Care,

8/12/08 Hoarding and Space Clearing

Ever had a friend, associate of family member who collects wayyy to much junk?  They have piles and piles of sentimental "treasures" that look like they taken a trip to the local land fill for a scavenger hunt?  Some of them have closets full of purses and clothes (many not even their size) with the tags still on them?  They just can't throw away "perfectly good things" or pass up a sale? 

If you know anyone like this, you might be in the presence of a hoarder.  This is not a messy packrat.  It is a condition that is closely related with depression, OCD and ADD.  In the past, I've gone to friends houses to help them clean and organize, only to find the condition is even worse a couple months later.  After working in the mental health field and several shamanic and Reiki journeys to the cause of the issue, I've found it is an energetic one.  There is a thick, dark sludgey energy attached to the clutter and the mind-set.  It can only be truly healed through energy therapy and bring Light into the situation.  Traditional talk therapy can assist with working through the original issue.  Many times there is an entity attached to a trauma that the person experienced.  There is actually an OCD entity, crazy as it sounds.  As a self-proclaimed procrastinator, I've had great success applying clearing practices to my life and space before doing housework...I invite all queries and comments!

Reiki New Moon Meditation
By Laurelle Shanti Gaia

For several years I have been studying the power of the cycles of the moon.  Of particular interest are the experiences shared with new moon meditation groups when we invoke Reiki to assist in meditations, for personal growth and world service.

Components of the Reiki new moon meditation

Sacred Intention ... The spoken or written word that describes goals for healing or visions for creation offered with love and for the highest good of all.

Prayer ... An act of giving thanks for sacred intentions that have been stated and offered to the Divine for manifestation. A statement of faith and knowingness that  the intention is fulfilled as it can be for the highest good.

Reiki . . . Spiritually guided life force energy, which never causes harm. True Reiki is channeled without interference from the ego, nor controlled by the personality. Reiki is totally guided by the infinite wisdom of the Divine. Reiki links sacred intention, prayer, moon energies and the ascended spiritual masters together as one powerful force for manifestation in the highest form.

Soul Linking . . . the act of conscious, energetic soul connections which take place between willing individuals to fulfill a specific portion of the Divine plan.

Moon Energies

The moon emanates distinctly different energies during the full cycle from new moon to full moon.  Each of the eight cycles facilitates the process of creation and manifestation. The eight phases each have a duration of approximately 28 days. An example and definitition follow:

Day 1-31/2 New moon energy is for creating a vision

Day 31/2-6 Crescent moon energy if for organizing resources needed to accomplish the vision

Day 6-91/2First quarter moon is using resources gathered to take action toward fulfilling the vision

Day 10-131/2 Gibbous moon energy helps us fine tune our goals, gather opinions from others and  make revisions to the plan.

Day 133/4-171/2 The light of the full moon brings about manifestation of, or progress toward our goals.  We can see where we are in the process of realization of the plan.

Day 171/2-21 The disseminating moon helps us distribute and share what we have learned, or to have a clearer understanding of what to do next.

Day 21-241/2 In the third quarter of the moon we are in a completion and review phase, or following up on and refining  the resources we gathered during the crescent moon. Re-evaluation takes place during this time to determine what is needed as a next step to move forward with the goal.

Day 241/2-282Under the balsamic moon it is time to be alone, meditate, retreat, and release attachment to outcome.  It is time to rest and be introspective. During this time vision clears and we are ready to begin again with the next new moon.

Ascended Spiritual Beings

These can be well known Masters like Jesus, Buddha, Kwan Yin, Mother Mary, Maha Chohan, Hillarion, Lady Master Nada, etc.  They can also be members of the angelic hierarchy, or highly evolved beings that we have yet to learn of.

Sacred intention

In working with these aspects with the Reiki New Moon Meditation we can focus on intentions such as personal goals for our work, family, relationships, health, finances, home, or any of the aspects of our earthly existence.  We can intend to stay focused on our spiritual path, or ask for assistance in understanding or transmuting our karma.

We can also focus on world issues, like ample organic food for the world, peace among nations, humanity living in harmony with the earth, nurturing home environments for everyone, healthy relationships, a world where diversity is embraced as a strength, etc. Notice that we are not focusing on hunger, homelessness, war, etc.  We are focusing on what we are creating, not on what we want to change, or are afraid of.  The sacred intention is powerful when the vision is created in the highest form that you can imagine, but left up for manifestation by the Divine in the most perfect way.

Steps in the Reiki New Moon Meditation

1.      Pray by giving thanks that you are clear and open channel for Reiki to flow through and that your personality and ego stand aside, so the Reiki will flow in its clearest and truest form. Give thanks that you are open to receive the guidance of angels and masters who have come forth to assist you.

2.      Prepare you energy field by strengthening your light. To do this draw a large Usui power symbol in front of you and move the energy into you etheric field. Draw small power symbols over each of your charkas beginning at the base.  Pause and beam Reiki into your energy field and toward your solar plexus and heart.

3.      Call on the Divine, and the ascended spiritual masters and beings. Welcome them, and give thanks for their presence. Give them permission to assist you in creating your sacred intention, and helping you manifestation your visions.

4.      Invoke the Usui mental/emotional symbol. Write down your sacred intention for this meditation.  Include your personal goals, and also your intention for world service.  It can also be helpful to draw something that represents your vision.  A new moon journal is very helpful. Channel the mental/emotional Reiki energies into your written intention, and state your intention.

5.      Invoke the Usui distant healing symbol imagining that you are creating a bridge of light from your heart to the hearts of all the spiritual beings who are assisting you, and all the other people who are joining in this group meditation around the world.  Allow yourself to feel each soul linking with yours, and to feel the illusion of separation melt away, and you recognize the Oneness of all creation. Remember that Reiki transcends time and space. (note: if you are attuned to the Reiki Master or Karuna Reiki® symbols you can add them to the meditation)

6.    Meditate and transmit Reiki for as long as you feel comfortable.

7.      Give a prayer of thanks.

8.      Draw a large power symbol over your body with the intention of disconnecting from the meditative process, and knowing that each person is disconnecting also and returning to their individual life expressions with clarity and aligned with their soul purpose.

The first few times you do this you may wish to refer to the above notes about the various aspects of the moon cycles to see where you are in the process.  It is intriguing how often we find ourselves in full momentum and taking action on our goals and we check in with the moon cycle to find that we are in the first quarter phase; or we may realize that we are feeling withdrawn and introspective and then become aware that we are under the influence of the balsamic moon.

If you would like to join in a worldwide Reiki New Moon Meditation, please join with us. We meditate monthly on the second day of the new moon phase, as the new moon energies are growing in strength.  I personally meditate at 6 a.m. mountain time, but I also time-capsule the meditation to link with all others who are participating anytime during that day. At each new moon I hold a vision of a world at peace, where humanity honors the earth and every person is living life as their higher self in every moment.  Please join me to uphold this vision and allow the energy to empower your personal goals and world vision as well.

In the Light of the Creator . . . We See Only Love

Actively Participating

Showing Up For Life

The way we walk into a room says a lot about the way we live our lives. When we walk into a room curious about what’s happening, willing to engage, and perceiving ourselves as an active participant with something to offer, then we have really shown up to the party. When we walk into a room with our eyes down, or nervously smiling, we are holding ourselves back for one reason or another. We may be hurting inside and in need of healing, or we may lack the confidence required to really be present in the room. Still, just noticing that we’re not really showing up, and having a vision of what it will look and feel like when we do, can give us the inspiration we need to recover ourselves.

Even if we are suffering, we can show up to that experience ready to fully engage in it and learn what it has to offer. When we show up for our life, we are actively participating in being a happy person, achieving our goals, and generally living the life our soul really wants. If we need healing, we begin the process of seeking out those who can help us heal. If we need experience, we find the places and opportunities that can give us the experience we need in order to do the work we want to do in the world. Whatever we need, we look for it, and when we find it, we engage in the process of letting ourselves have it. When we do this kind of work, we become lively, confident, and passionate individuals.

There is almost nothing better in the world than the feeling of showing up for our own lives. When we can do this, we become people that are more alive and who have the ability to make things happen in our lives and the lives of the people around us. We walk through the world with the knowledge that we have a lot to offer and the desire to share it.

What do you think?

All of you professional readers, therapists and caretakers are in my heart for the service you provide, and I would love to support you.  I will be logged in from 8pm-12am PT.  Or if you prefer, send me a message and we can set up an appointment.  I look forward to speaking with you tonight!

 

Sincerely,

 

MiChelle

The Universe always has Divine timing.  I know for me, I dream and dream and when I'm ready to make a decision and make something happen, I have to us prayer and meditation to stay clear and grounded, else I get impatient with the "big picture" and how long it takes for things to manifest. 

I've been interested in studying with a man whom I've heard great things about.  I knew it would require quite a long drive for me, but I had an inner knowing it would be well worth the time, effort and gas money.  He is a shaman and a Huna and offers some interesting advanced teachings.  So this time last year I got myself on his mailing list and each month grew more and more interested in dropping in on one of his classes to get a feel for his energy and see what he's all about.  But with two small kids at home, limited finances and a husband who works nights, it was just never the right time.  Well, come to find out, I was not supposed to be there until this week.

Larry Kessler facilitates a process called Family Constellations.  I've post his brief flyer below fyi.  All I can say is that I was pleasantly surprised at the immense emotion, intuitive feelings and healing I and the group experienced.  I went in with no expectations, just happy to be able to attend after a long period of curosity.  I left with a deeper sense of completion and compassion for my family lineage and hope for my own life goals, my children and my future generations to come.  ~MiChelle

Family and Systems Constellations

              Facilitated by Larry Kessler, M.A.

“We are affected by the seven generations that come before us and affect the seven generations that will follow.”  Francesca M. Boring, Shoshone elder.

 

  Not only do our ancestors affect us through our DNA, but also through the events and traumas that happened to them. These events had effects that keep showing up generation after generation. Our emotional, mental, and physical problemsnot to mention relationship issuesmay not be ours at all. They may be these effects echoing throughout the family system.

 

  Family constellations give the solutions to these effects. They reveal the past wrongs, suffering, and entanglements in our families and their effects on our lives. The constellations resolve these issues and allow the soul to move towards peace and understanding. A deep sense of wholeness follows.

 

In a family constellation, a person chooses others from the group to stand in for family members. After they are arranged in the room, the stresses on the family system come to light. These representatives surprisingly feel and think what the people they are standing in for felt and thought. The stresses on the system are then resolved and the love hidden in the system allowed to flow.

 

 Similarly, in Systems Constellations, someone focuses on something in their life that isn’t working and asks people to represent elements in that system. A system can be a business, a project or goal, a place, or an issue one has. The feelings and movements of the representatives then reveal hidden dynamics and entanglements in the system that stop the flow of energy and progress. The constellations shed light on these issues and may even resolve them, allowing energy to return and move the system toward its goal.

 

  Based on the discoveries of Bert Hellinger, this is a therapeutic technique that is acknowledged worldwide and growing in popularity in the United States. It is astonishing, powerful, and beautiful, loving work.

An important part of our job as human beings is to be a mirror for each other to show the beauty and perfection ALREADY PRESENT in each one of us.  This means reflecting what is possible in physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health for each one of us.  We don't have to be perfect to help contribute to our World.  But we do need to be present and in the NOW!!

The Universe brings us our lessons in a methodical way.  It may seem random, but there is a pattern, if we stop to notice.  When I am doing healings and leading workshops, I tend to get groups of people in a row who all working on similar issues.  For example, last week, I had 5 or 6 women each working on self-love and boundaries (so am I by the way).  They don't know each other.  But one after another, they were each having issues with friends, family and coworkers stepping on their toes and taking more than they were giving.  I've noticed in my own life, I might have several days (or weeks, or months, arghhh) of e.g. hurting myself progressively worse from rushing with OTHER people's appointments (reminding me to slow down and make sure I am prioritizing based on MY ideals, not from guilt or outside pressure), job offers out of the blue, for good money but doing a job that I hate (to remind me to stick to my dreams and not "sell" myself for yet another crap job), and on like that.  You are a victor, not a victim! 

Now is the time for you to step into the flow of all good things and create the life you really want...a job you love, wonderful friendships and love relationships, a nurturing family environment, financial abundance, time freedom, a deep spiritual connection to God and the Light.

Staying stuck in all the dramas and traumas of the past and fear and uncertainty of the future are the best ways to squander away our most precious gift of all...the PRESENT!

We have many sources available support and information to help you get on with the journey of fully living and giving and RECEIVING Light and Love from life.  Please remember, at all times, that NOBODY is more of an expert on your life than you and God.  You can gather opinions (please look at those you disagree with as well as those you agree with) from doctors, ministers, best friends, therapists, and the list goes on.  But they can mostly give you THEIR recommendation based on their own experience.  Please, please, please continue to ask lots of questions and be a seeker...now more than ever. 

Holistic care is an approach to wellness that treats a person's entire being; physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.  "Integrative" refers to bringing all of life's experiences and lessons and blessings to a peaceful place for us to assimilate the information, receive the good, learn from the bad and get on with living!  If you are looking for a great start on looking into complementary medicine, consider checking out http:/www.healing.about.com/ and you also might look into http://www.nccam.nih.gov/Information is true power!
