Relationships ∞Archangel Michael – A Channeled Message from Daniel Scranton

“Linking yourself to another puts you in a co-creative dance together. The dance is what you would call your relationship. As you connect with another’s energy, you are accessing different data within yourself then you have previously had access to.

Your work together as friends, family, or lovers will be to access what you need to access to give you the experiences that you need to have. It is always part of your evolution to be involved with another in any way. When you let yourselves be completely open and receptive to all that the relationship has to give you, you make progress along your path.
And sometimes the other person will come with you. And sometimes they will not. As much as you want to believe that you are responsible for each other, this is never actually the case. Having said that, please recognize that you are all here to exist as a collective and to honor each other. That is quite different from being responsible for another’s journey, happiness, or well-being.
As you continue along your path with the others that are joining you, give yourself exactly what you need and let the others do the same for themselves. Participate in the dance, but do not mistake the dance for what you are doing here. You always have the opportunity to extract what you need while giving more of who you are.
And that is quite different from giving all of your time, energy, and money. That is truly what you offer each other whenever you are in a type of partnership. You offer more of who you are, and you invite the other to do the same.
We are Michael. We are infinite. We are love.”                                   danielscranton.com

Forgive And Let it Go

“The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.”  “An eye for eye only ends up making the whole world blind.” These were famous Gandhi quotes.

“Fighting evil with evil won’t help anyone.  You can always choose how to react to something. When you incorporate this thought habit more and more into your life, then you can react in a way that is more useful to yourself and others.

You realize that forgiving and letting go of the past will do you, and the people in your world, a great service. And spending your time in some negative memory won’t help you after you have learned the lessons from that experience. You’ll probably just cause yourself more suffering and paralyze yourself from taking action in the present moment.

If you don’t forgive, then you let the past and this other person control how you feel. By forgiving, you release yourself from those bonds.”

You’ve Been Given More Power ∞The 9th Dimensional Arcturian Council

“Greetings. We are the Arcturian Council. We are pleased to connect with all of you.

You have arrived at a point in your evolution where you are being given more power. You have always been powerful beings, of course, but certain activations are occurring that have been initiated by your guides and other helpers that will grant you more access to the power that you have within you.

As more strands of your DNA become activated and as codes within you also become activated, you will become more powerful creator beings than ever before. This power comes to you because you have demonstrated that you are capable of handling it.

Many of you who are listening to this message will relate more to the feeling of being disempowered because of the paths that you have chosen for yourselves in this very important lifetime. And so you need to awaken the sense of power within you. You need to activate the memory of your power, and the easiest way for you to do that is by activating memories of when you existed as physical beings who also knew yourselves completely as Source Energy Beings.

Now you haven’t had this experience on planet Earth yet, but you can connect to other lifetimes that you have led in other dimensions, in other star systems, in other times, and you can activate those memories by simply acknowledging that you have led many more lifetimes than you think. You have access to so much more of those powerful memories than you have any idea about.

Right now, we want you to accept that this is true, and then we invite you to access those memories, even if all you can remember is the feeling of being powerful. You don’t have to remember a specific lifetime, but if you can remember what it feels like to know yourself as a powerful creator being, you are going to help in accessing the power you are being given at this time, in this lifetime, and with that power you can and will be the agents of change that your world most certainly needs.

We are the Arcturian Council, and we have enjoyed connecting with you.”  danielscranton.com

Volunteer to Cuddle Drug-Affected Newborns

The Power of Loving Touch and Affection

There’s nothing like the smell, grace and promise of a beautiful new baby. It’s like they symbolize a fresh hope for the world. Connecting with, and cuddling, a newborn is a sweet and magical experience, but for thousands of babies around the world, it’s something that is vital to their wellbeing.

Increasing numbers of babies are being born into a fight for their lives, as their bodies desperately try to rid themselves of the drugs their mothers took during pregnancy. With varying degrees of painkillers or heroin in their little bodies, their first days of life are a traumatic and painful experience.

Opioid addiction has reached crisis levels in America, with the number of drug addicted babies born in the US having quadrupled in the last decade. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, one baby every 25 minutes is born with Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS), which requires the babies to go through a withdrawal program where they are given decreasing doses of morphine. The situation is getting so serious now that some hospitals are introducing programs to help drug-addicted mothers and their babies.

These tiny babies experience intense withdrawal symptoms of diarrhoea, shaking, vomiting, crying and intense pain. If you imagine what a drug-addicted adult experiences when they go cold turkey – that’s what these vulnerable babies go through as well.

Increasing numbers of drug-affected babiesThe number of drug-affected babies born in the US has quadrupled in the last decade.

Nurses report that drug affected babies shake, sweat, cry, get severe acidic diarrhea that burns their skin, as well as suffer the pain of being overstimulated by lights and sound. But, there is hope; the same nurses note that when held and cuddled for long periods, these babies are comforted and can cope with their ordeal much better.

It is vital to their recovery that they get tender, loving care so they can survive this painful experience so early on. One nurse has started a program calling for volunteers to cuddle these babies.

The Birth of The Program

Jane Cavanaugh, a nurse at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, is encouraging volunteers to hold, cuddle and soothe the babies suffering through withdrawal. She told the Philadelphia Inquirer and Daily News:

These babies going through withdrawal and need to be held for extended periods … They need human touch. They need soothing. They need talking.

Often they spend months alone in hospitals as they are weaned off the heroin or painkillers that filled their bodies during their time in the womb. Sometimes the infants have been removed from their parents, or their drug addicted mothers are attending drug rehabilitation programs, so there is no one there to comfort and soothe them, except the already overworked nurses and hospital staff.

Loving touch and soothing is a lifeline to these babiesLoving touch and soothing is a lifeline to these babies.

Doctors have also reported that volunteers cuddling the babies reduces both the amount of medication they need, as well as the length of their stay in the hospital.

Cabell Huntington Hospital, in West Virginia, was one of the first hospitals to recognize a need for specialized care for these chemically dependent newborns, with the opening of a second neonatal unit specifically for withdrawal babies. It also has an off-site rehabilitation center, Lily’s Place, where babies are given dedicated treatment.

Lily’s Place opened its doors in October 2014 as the first Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS) Centre in the United States, with specialized care and a volunteer program, housing newborns away from fluorescent light and noise of the busy hospital.

Cuddle care programs are popping up all over the US in response to the soaring rates of drug-affected babies being born. Most hospitals have seen huge success with having cuddlers come in to soothe premature babies, and now hospitals can use the same loving care for these vulnerable babies battling to heal their drugged systems.
