As Christmas approaches your opportunity to connect with angels heightens.

You cannot receive help from one of your angels unless you specifically ask for their support. Divine Intervention only happens if you are in a life-threatening situation.

Are you experiencing relationship or financial challenges?
An angel is assigned to soothe your soul and give you peace in your heart.

An angel’s purpose is different from spirit guides.
Angels act as an over-lighting presence for you and surround you in love, so you can feel it deep inside you. Spirit guides teach you how to grow in your life when you experience challenges.

Invite an angel into your life.
Get quiet and take a moment to close your eyes because it helps you to connect inwards. Allow the angelic presence to be activated in your own heart. You have this within you. All you have to do is call upon it.

When you feel pain, it is because you are putting your focus and energy outside of yourself. Bring that energy back in you, get quiet, go within and ask for angelic support.

Affirm: “I allow myself to receive the presence and love of angels in my life and heart always.”

People automatically think being psychic is neon signs and woo woo stuff. It is healthy to be skeptical but it is beneficial to be open as well so you can receive the messages spirit is trying to communicate to you.

I remember being at a Christmas party giving psychic readings a few years back. The guests looked like they were having a great time on the surface yet when they sat in front of me, they poured out the psychic debris from their hearts. They were carrying immense pain inside. You cannot heal a lifetime of problematic patterns in a 5 to 10 minutes reading. At that point in time I must confess I felt helpless however I learned you can’t be responsible for someone else’s actions and feelings. If someone you care for is in intense pain, remind yourself it takes time to heal. Be as supportive as you can without taking on their feelings.

People relegate pain, thinking they’ll get to it later, but they don’t because it hurts too much. When you leave it till later, things can fall apart, like family, relationships and career opportunities. When you acknowledge what is occurring inside of you, healing can happen and the skill of Claircognizance (clear knowing) activated.

Claircognizance is clarity. If someone said justify or prove what you know, you wouldn’t be able to because the energy is intangible. It takes faith to use Claircognizance however it is one of the greatest gifts of intuition. Allow yourself to be powerful. Initiate your skill of Claircognizance.

Affirm: “I allow myself to be Claircognizant”.

This will create the space for knowing leading to clarity in your life.

Thanksgiving is a wonderful holiday that brings loved ones together and it’s a time to be grateful for all that you have but what if you’re not feeling so grateful this Thanksgiving?

I’ve listened to many people confide they feel guilty for not being grateful. Cut yourself some slack. One lady I know, let’s call her Doreen is on disability. Due to her husband being unable to get a job in the economic downturn, her disability check has had to be used as rent money. When you are in a situation like this, it’s understandable to feel low.

Did you know that as the Holidays approach suicide increases? I say this not to focus on doom and gloom but because I encourage you to become aware of co-workers, family and friends who may be suffering beneath the surface.

People are scared to be vulnerable because they think it makes them look weak. That just isn’t true. Vulnerability takes courage. When you reveal your true feelings, you not only empower yourself; you help people around you heal also. You will emanate an aura of peace that will soothe people’s souls.

For years, I was in a relationship with a man who believed that looking at pain and negative inner feelings attracted more of them. I took on that belief and when I was suffering I pretended everything was okay until I was broken. I didn’t reach out for help and because of that, I lost everything. I encourage you to look beneath the surface of positive thinking. It’s not as clear cut as you think. Don’t walk the dangerous ground I walked upon.

It is healthy to get quiet and go inwards and allow yourself to feel because this releases your past pains and insecurities. Keep doing your affirmations like, “I am grateful” but also allow yourself to be REAL. That is the greatest gift you have to give yourself.

What spirit wants you to know next…

What is channeling?
Channeling is when you are tapped into higher guidance to source energy (God) and you are receiving insights and wisdom that you know to be resoundingly true within you.

How do you know the difference between the voice of your ego and the voice of your higher self?
The way that you get connected to your Higher Self is you get connected inwards. You have to develop a very strong inner awareness to be able to channel, to be able to bring through that higher guidance. And if you have a lot of blocks within you and I don’t know a person that doesn’t have a block within them, you are going to find it more challenging to be able to channel.

The first step that you need to take before you can even think about channeling is to clear those energy blocks within you.
So I invite you this week to take some time to connect inwards. Sit and get quiet. Allow yourself to feel what is happening inside you because when you are going at a hundred miles an hour and you are dealing with all those emails on Facebook, emails in your inbox, bills to pay, different responsibilities, social arrangements, trying to get to the gym and wondering what to eat, there’s not much space for connection to Source.

You have to create the space for channeling to connect with your spirit guides and you have to clear those blocks, that is the key.
