A Message From Ann and The Angels

My dear friends, we love you so very much,

Many of you were watching recently, as the world waited with baited breath and prayed for a group of boys trapped with their coach deep in the caverns of the earth. With those boys, you too, went deep within. You faced your own feelings of helplessness even as they did, and yet many of you found as well, the feelings of power that come from connecting with the Source and focusing on the outcome.

The boys were rescued, dear ones, because they turned to the Source in quiet peace and faith, and because the entire world focused on their rescue. Can you imagine, if the entire world focused on peace?

There is great symbolism in the events that draw your attention in life. There is a piece of the cavern within each of you – deep tunnels inside of your psyche that you rarely explore. When you are brave enough to go within and ask yourself, “How do I really feel?” you too might be flooded with emotion. You too might feel “trapped.” You, like the boys, might realize that they only way out of your current situation in life is to wait, sit peacefully, and surrender the power that loves you.                                 
Within you too, exist the divers. These are the brave parts of self that say, “I am not afraid of the waters of emotion.” I can navigate them. I can find those lost parts of myself and love them enough to guide them to the shores of love and back into the light. I can sit with my pain, my fear, my anger, my doubt, and send it love, because I know these parts of me are simply unaware that they can come with me into the light.

Take a breath now and with us say, “To all the trapped, lost, and lonely parts of myself; to all parts lost in fear, anger, or doubt, come with me. I know the way into greater light. I love you.” Then sit, breathe, receive, as we work with you for just a few minutes to “dive deeply” into your energy and lead those parts into the safety of Divine Love. Resume reading when you are ready.

Ah, there within you lay also the cheering crowds, the praying world.These are the parts of your soul in connection with the Divine that knows you will succeed in releasing yourself from all that has held you bound, trapped, afraid of your own feelings. These are the parts that know you are already free.

We are cheering for you always dear friend. We are constantly seeing you free.We know that each and every one of you, without exception, will someday emerge into the light.

God Bless You! We love you so very much.

4 Signs You’re Addicted to Judging Other People

“Every one of us struggles with judgment. We judge other people’s politics, tweets, parenting choices—maybe so often that we don’t even notice anymore. It’s just a habit. But as someone in her 12th year of sobriety, I believe the cycle of judgment is more like an addiction.

Judging gives you a hangover. When we judge, we get an instant hit of self-righteousness, but subconsciously we know we’re separating ourselves from who we really are: compassionate, kind people. As a result, we feel guilty once our high wears off—and to avoid that feeling, we have to judge someone else. This cycle weakens us mentally and physically.

Judging isolates you. We develop addictions because we’re trying to numb a core wound, which is usually rooted in childhood. Maybe someone told you that you weren’t good enough, or you experienced some other kind of trauma that left you feeling all alone. To avoid experiencing that pain again, you project it onto others by pointing out their flaws. Our fear leads us to attack—but reenacting the trauma of the past only creates more loneliness and disconnection.

Judging prevents healing. You have to be willing to look at your darkness in order to see the light. That’s why the first step in a judgment detox is just to witness it without blaming ourselves. We judge because we’re separated from love; to stop the cycle, we have to cultivate self-love. The second step is to honor that core wound. Next time you have the urge to judge, ask yourself what moment from the past is triggering you to feel this way. When we can understand ourselves, healing begins.

Judging leaves you powerless. Many people feel safer when they judge, as if they’re controlling their circumstances, but hatred only creates more hatred. Those hours you might spend fuming about the news, for instance, could be used in a more positive way, like volunteering for a cause you care about, engaging in creative projects or spending quality time with people you love. Recovering from judgment addiction gives us back our power and lifts up everyone around us, too.

To heal the world, we have to live the truth in every corner of our lives. Recovery isn’t easy—but when we let go of judgment, we make room for love and joy. It’s like staying sober: You can’t really enjoy a drink again because you know how good it feels to live without it.”  By Gabrielle Bernstein, www.oprah.com

Tuning Into The Best Of All You Are

 

“When you look out into the environment that surrounds you, and you feel appreciation for what you see, you tune yourself to the frequencies of the best of all that you are. And then,the best of All-That-Is, is all that you will see. That is how you manage your point of attraction.”

—Abraham-Hicks, 2014

Sanaya Says “Taking Flight”

“Take flight.  Spread your wings and simply fly when life in human form becomes too challenging.  Do we mean to fly away as if running away from your challenges?  Not at all.  They represent great opportunities for raising the quality of your consciousness.  Too often the human gets caught up in the story and can see no way out.

Remember, please, you are far more than human, far more than the story.  You as Consciousness—a soul—are not stuck in your body.  Use your imagination—one of the greatest gifts of Consciousness—and fly, soar high above the you in the body and see your situation with a bird’s eye view.

Don’t things look quite different once you step outside the body?  There.  When you settle back in, having flown around a bit, having been gifted with insight from Higher Consciousness, the story can change as you make higher choices.  Do you see how it works, this living in two worlds as a soul in human form?”   suzannegiesemann.com

Your Innocence

Lama Sing …

“There is an Innocence within you that came with you upon your entry into your current lifetime.

This Innocence is a beautiful thing to behold.

You are the master of it.
What you hold in your thoughts, in your words, your attitudes … all of these have the power to allow this Innocence to be known by others.

It is not something that will make you vulnerable. It is something that will make you lovingly neutral. It is the Knowing that you are eternal, which lies within the core of your being. And because you Know without question that you are an eternal creation, you move into this Innocence that is sweet and endears you to all whom you encounter.

Choose your Innocence in the next moment of your silent reflection. It will serve you well.”
