Messages in the silence

My husband and children are my greatest teachers on this earthplane. I know that they are my soulmates, as it is them who encourage me to grow and learn beyond all limitations. It is them who show me that amongst their “childish squabbling” over the last biscuit, that I have not quite grasped complete Inner Peace. It is them who deliver wise messages to make me look with new eyes, with a different view.

Harrison was crying the other morning as I came down for breakfast. I hovered outside the bedroom door as I could see Morgan was already with him, trying to soothe his brother’s tears.

The conversation went like this:

Why are you crying?”
“I thought I put my Pokeman Cards at the end of my bed but they have gone. I can’t find them. I have asked God and the Angels to help me and bring my cards back but they are still not here.”
Morgan replies “I ask God and the Angels to help me but sometimes we just have to sought things out for ourselves.”

Morgan then calmly looked around the room and said “I think they are in your dressing gown pocket.”
And that is exactly where they were.

This little scene highlighted several things to me.
I have a very wise old soul in the family. *smile*
The Angels do answer our prayers but in ways that we may not expect, so to always remain open.
Morgan was quite right to say “.. sometimes we just have to sought things out for ourselves.”

This does not mean that we are left alone sometimes or now and again the Angels decide over a glass of water – “Oh well, she can sort that one out today.”

What it means is that we will grow more as a spiritual being, if we ask to be guided rather than expect a full delivery. This also enables the Angels to empower us to trust our own inner wisdom.

Morgan was very calm and almost silent in his approach to Harrison and Harrison's problem.

I have taught the children that SILENT and LISTEN are the same. The exact same letters with the exact same meaning.

So in Morgan’s “calmness”, he was silent in his mind and he listened and he knew, just knew where the answer to Harrison’s problem was.

That wisdom, that guidance to all our questions is available to every single one of us but like my children we do need to learn that to hear/know/feel or see the answers, we need to be SILENT and LISTEN.

To practise be – ing silent. Allow your mind to become still, without it’s daily chatter of what you did last week, what you have to do next week and while you are there lets plan 2008.

Call forth your Angels asking for protection and guidance. Ask that all information you receive be from the highest source of love and wisdom only – and so it is.
With your breath from a beautiful cocoon of pure white light around you – above your head, below your toes, at the back and at the front.

Imagine a clear, still mountain lake. Very still. Every time a thought pulls you away from this scene, take a deep breath and allow yourself to focus again on the still, mountain lake.

This is good practice for stilling your mind. Do not become agitated when thoughts pop in, that is a waste of energy that creates a needless battle. Just let the thought go and re – focus. Practice every day for a longer length of time.

When you find this stillness and you are calm and trusting - you may then ask for guidance re – a subject. Remain open and calm now and just allow an answer – you may hear it, see it, know it or feel it – the guidance will come the perfect way for you and in perfect timing. Just trust and allow.

You can do this for lost items, car park spaces, travel directions, solutions for relationships and so on – the list is infinite – never ending.
