‘If by bathing daily God could be realised
Sooner would I be a whale in the deep;
If by eating roots and fruits He could be known
Gladly would I choose to be a goat;
If the counting of rosaries uncovered Him
I would say my prayers on mammoth beads;
If bowing before stone images unveiled Him
A flinty mountain I would humbly worship;
If by drinking milk the Lord could be imbibed
Many calves and children would know Him
If abandoning ones wife would summon God
Would not thousands be eunuchs?
Mirabai knows to find the Divine One
The only indispensable is Love’
A song composed by Mirabai, translated in the book ‘Autobiography of a Yogi, Paramhansa Yogananda’

Don't think away your feelings
Higherawareness.com
“When emotions are managed by the heart, they heighten your awareness of the world around you and add sparkle to life. The result is new intelligence and a new view of life.”
-- Doc Childre and Howard Martin
How do you intellectualize your emotions?
Many of us live so much in our heads that we intellectualize our emotions. We analyze, rationalize and explain them away so quickly that we don’t actually experience them.
Learn to honour your emotions at all times by being willing to feel them. Of course, you may need to exercise some judgment over how and when you express them.
"Learning to be aware of feelings, how they arise and how to use them creatively so they guide us to happiness, is an essential lifetime skill."

Iv'e been in my head a lot lately,I find it easier to be in my heart around people when I'm alone sometimes I hide in my head.

My dream - by Lucyx
Being quite a private person I can sometimes find it difficult to share personal issues and insights with others HOWEVER I feel guided to share with you what happened in my dream-state last night.
I was taken back to a meditation that the beautiful Michelle had guided me through on her training workshops. That meditation was very meaningful and empowering for me at the time also. I was climbing a huge, beautiful mountain effortlessly. As I took each step I gained qualities from the mountain - strength, courage, individuality to name but a few. As I reached the peak of the mountain there was a person sitting there on a big stone waiting to greet me. When I have done this meditation with Michelle previously both times it was Archangel Michael waiting to greet me, however this time it was my ex-partner. I still love him unconditionally but at this time we are growing seperately and are not in contact atall. There are still alot of words unsaid I feel and I have been finding it difficult to let it go. Recently anger, frustration and sadness have been present for me with regard to our loss and loss of our relationship. However in that moment we had a wonderful embrace and words were not necessary, energy and a knowingness and acceptance flowed between us. We were asked to look down... there was a magnificant river that had been dammed to form two stagnant pools. We watched as one pool would occasionally fill from rain water and overflow a little water into the other pool and vice- versa. To me this showed our on-off relationship that had been present the past three years - our energies coming together then diserpating again, never being as one for very long atall and never completely. We floated down to the river's edge and energetically pulled the big boulders and stones away..... dramatically the current rushed through and the river was flowing quickly together and as one.
At that moment I awoke from my dream, I felt a calmess I haven't felt for a time and I said thankyou for that experience and that insight.
I HOPE there may be a message for you in my words and thats why I was guided to share.
With love,

Remember What Is Most Important
It’s not having everything go right;
it’s facing whatever goes wrong.
It’s not being without fear;
it’s having the determination to go on in spite of it.
What is most important is not where you stand,
but the destination you’re going in.
It’s more than never having bad moments;
it’s knowing that you’re always bigger than the moment
It’s believing that you already have been given everything
you need to handle life.
It’s not believeing able to rid the world of all injustices;
it’s being able to rise above them.
It’s beliefe in your heart that there will always be
more good than bad in the world.
Remember to live just this one day
and not add tomorrows troubles to today’s load.
Remember that everyday ends
and brings a new tomorrow
full of exciting new things.
Love what you do, do the best you can,
and always remember how much you are loved.

This too will pass ...
"Love is not a relationship, it is a state of being." Author unknown
Beloved Children, we ask that you trust that this "time", this healing will pass ...
We send you our love - the love of God and ask that you insure that you daily drink this into your heart center and fill and keep filling ...
"I now allow myself to recieve more love into all areas of my life, allowing the love of God to fill me and create my wholeness."
As many energy shifts for humanity have passed so too will this one. It's passing will occur as you surrender, "hear" the messages and accept the healing that is being offered. This is a mass healing and you will evolve together as communities of light bringing equality and wholeness within large numbers of people.
Your journey has been one of much healing of the old that does not serve you, your journey has been to teach you the knowledge and faith that it is safe to let go of that which does not serve you - your healing has been to break free from the conformity of man - made rules placed upon you as a society.
This current energy means that you cannot "shove" what needs healing down again for it is brimming up to the surface now - much closer to the surface than in the past when you could "shove" it down and maybe cause illness or maybe cause an emotion that would over whelm sometimes - this time it has to come up and out...
We know you are sensing there is "no choice" but to look at "it".
It was a pre - agreed choice.
This present shift is of much deeper soul work - it is in the depths of your "darkness" that you will find and "rescue" your true light - you will radiate a greater love.
For a great many this "soul healing" will bring forth the joy, creativity, love, abundance, freedom your soul knew as a child - clearing many final blockages. To enter the kingdom of God, humanity must be all these qualities that children live daily by and consistently when "untouched" by ego . This was written light years ago.
Beloved children, do not fear you are going backwards, for you are not. But backwards - the past is where you "left" fragments of your light. Your "light" may even be affected by patterns of many generations before you, that simply are not yours to keep but yours to break!!
We ask that you trust and flow with this cycle. We ask most importantly that you take the time you need to dedicate to you - learn to value "you" - all parts of you, the child and the adult. Service to others may continue when you have taken the time to know, understand, digest, release and integrate with your current learning.
We ask that you do not ignore this guidance - you do not value you by putting the needs of others first - you must be full to give!
When will this emotional ride end - we hear you cry?
We say - the light at the end of this part of your journey is brighter, stronger than you have ever known and in that "light" you will release the "pain" it may have taken to get there - much like childbirth - where the pain is cleared from your energy by the immense joy - and much like your energy shifts before this one.
This is only for a longer period of time and may "hurt" a little more because of it's importance but also your denial to "see" and let go - for these are "parts" you have "known" for years - much of your life and they must go for the new to enter.
Beloved children, remember drink in love until you are full, trusting there is more and enough - that is our message for NOW and know that this too will pass ...
Love to you - and all God's children - Angels x x

New light - by Cinthia Parkes
Hi,
It's saturday. I have had a humdinger of a day. Could do nothing right. Thought I was good yesterday, and today I felt like a piece of flotsam on the tide, tossed about and pulled and pushed in all directions by my kids and outside things - a day of reacting to, not being able to put my feet on the ground in the swirling tide, no foothold, no stability. Glad it's calmed down now. And the reason I'm writing is not to tell you about the crap ride on the tide, but about my meditation just now :-)
I've been promising myself, and the angels, that I'd meditate tonight, (there was no chance of it during the day) and at last about 9pm I settled myself with some candles, selenite, Soothing Surf music on the CD (it's brill, just the sound of waves crashing on the shore. If you've done that meditation with Michelle where you sit on the beach and let the waves come in and fill you with love, this is the CD for you. ) Just before I sat down, I'd looked through my notes from the Angel healers course, as I was aware I'd not met all the angels we had notes on. One that leapt out was Jophiel - Beauty of God, brings joy to life and beautiful thoughts. Helps with low energy and loss of inner light..... Well! He's the one for me, I thought, considering what my last few days have been like! (see previous posts...)
So I picked out sunstone, my crystal for him, and went into meditation.
Once I connected, Jophiel stepped forward immediately.
(NOTE: I find this next bit really hard to write, cos I write it not to brag or appear vain, but to show you what can also happen to you if you tune into the angels. Perhaps all you others have these sort of meditations all the time, and it's no big deal, but I'm fairly new to this, and amazing things keep coming up for me. And it's all rather personal and intimate.)
Back to Jophiel. He's the first angel who had a figure, all the others have been masses of energy, but Jophiel was slender and sleek. Italian moviestar figure. He held up a big round mirror, and all I could see was glare, like when you drive into the sun late in the afternoon, or when the sun sets at the beach and the glare on the water means you can't actually look at that part of the sea.
I can't see anything, I said.
'That's how bright you are......'
Wow. Gobsmacked.
Looked in the mirror again. Panicking slightly. But I can't see me separate from you angels!?!
'That's how bright you are......'
Speechless now. Just awe-full. Wonder-full. Humble-full.
But what do I do with all this light?
'Shine!! For the moment, just Be. Fill yourself up with us daily, please, and the people who you need to reach will come to you, attracted to your light. But not yet. After the New Year.'
And then I just basked in the light of the angels, and it was bliss.
But there's more.
Someone else stepped forward, and it was Uriel, whom I've never met before either. I had just read that he's one of the four biggies, but I've not had much to do with them four yet, so far I've been meeting other angels more, especially Zadkiel. Anyway, he was also a figure (as opposed to an energy), and boy what a figure. He was huge, muscly, tall, like a gladiator (remember that TV series about 10 years ago?). He looked like Hercules in the Disney film, wearing soft leather loincloths. Cor. I just swooned. I fell in love, if that's possible. The love emanating from him, and the power, and protection (I did a quick comparison with Michael, and there was a huge difference, Michael was more steely, sharper, blue as well, whereas Uriel was yellowy and soft around the edges, like suede) was just heavenly. And he bowed, to me! Whereupon I realised my swooning hadn't been swooning, but a humble bowing to him in return. Like a mutual appreciation society, mutual respect. Oh wow. These angels will try anything to get me to meet with them more often. But yes please!!
Afterwards I looked in my notes for Uriel, and guess what? God is Light. Ta-da!
And connected to solar plexus, which is...yellow. Amazing, huh?
I've just re-read what I've written, and the bit at the beginning about the tide feels right, like the swirling eddies when the tide is turning. I do believe things are changing, not just for me, but for all of us.
Anyone care to share their thoughts?
lots of love to you all

(slowly turning into one of those low energy lightbulbs, where it doesn't take much effort/energy to light up (meaning plug into the angels daily to keep me topped up, which isn't that hard) but the light coming out is much brighter than ordinary lightbulbs, and lasts much longer. Well, I'm nowhere near that yet, just beginning to light up again after a dim week, but I can see it happening.....can you for you?)

Gifts from God
I received this story from a wonderful friend who had the same day she sent this, taken part in the Create your reality workshop. Perfect timing.
The cheerful little girl with bouncy golden curls was almost five. Waiting with her mother at the checkout stand, she saw them, a circle of glistening white pearls in a pink foil box.
"Oh mommy please, Mommy. Can I have them? Please, Mommy, please?"
Quickly the mother checked the back of the little foil box and then looked back into the pleading blue eyes of her little
girl's upturned face.
"A dollar ninety-five. That's almost $2.00. If you really want them, I'll think of some extra chores for you and in no time you can save enough money to buy them for yourself. Your birthday's only a week away and you might get another crisp dollar bill from Grandma."
As soon as Jenny got home, she emptied her penny bank and counted out 17 pennies. After dinner, she did more than her share of chores and she went to the neighbor and asked Mrs. McJames if she could pick dandelions for ten cents. On her birthday, Grandma did give her another new dollar bill and at last she had enough money to buy the necklace.
Jenny loved her pearls. They made her feel dressed up and grown up. She wore them everywhere, Sunday school, kindergarten, even to bed. The only time she took them off was when she went swimming or had a bubble bath. Mother said if they got wet, they might turn her neck green.
Jenny had a very loving daddy and every night when she was ready for bed, he would stop whatever he was doing and come upstairs to read her a story. One night as he finished the story, he asked Jenny, "Do you love me?"
"Oh yes, daddy. You know that I love you."
"Then give me your pearls."
"Oh, daddy, not my pearls. But you can have Princess, the white horse from my collection, the one with the pink tail. Remember, daddy? The one you gave me. She's my very favorite."
"That's okay, Honey, daddy loves you. Good night." And he brushed her cheek with a kiss.
About a week later, after the story time, Jenny's daddy asked again, "Do you love me?"
"Daddy, you know I love you."
"Then give me your pearls."
"Oh Daddy, not my pearls. But you can have my baby doll. The brand new one I got for my birthday. She is beautiful and you can have the yellow blanket that matches her sleeper."
"That's okay. Sleep well. God bless you, little one. Daddy loves
you."
And as always, he brushed her cheek with a gentle kiss.
A few nights later when her daddy came in, Jenny was sitting on her bed with her legs crossed Indian style.
As he came close, he noticed her chin was trembling and one silent tear rolled down her cheek.
"What is it, Jenny? What's the matter?"
Jenny didn't say anything but lifted her little hand up to her daddy. And when she opened it, there was her little pearl necklace. With a little quiver, she finally said, "Here, daddy; this is for you."
With tears gathering in his own eyes, Jenny's daddy reached out with one hand to take the dime store necklace, and with the other hand he reached into his pocket and pulled out a blue velvet case with a strand of genuine pearls and gave them to Jenny.
He had them all the time. He was just waiting for her to give up the dime-store stuff so he could give her the genuine treasure. So it is, with our Heavenly Father. He is
waiting for us to give up the cheap things in our lives so that he can give us beautiful treasures.
Isn't God good?
Are you holding onto things that God wants you to let go of? Are you holding on to harmful or unnecessary partners, relationships, habits and activities that you have come so attached to that it seems impossible to let go? Sometimes it is so hard to see what is in the other hand but do believe this one thing,
God will never take away something without giving you something better in its place.
It shows us that in this time of many changes that which we are losing will be replaced by something better
Much Love

With tears gathering in his own eyes, Jenny's daddy reached out with one hand to take the dime store necklace, and with the other hand he reached into his pocket and pulled out a blue velvet case with a strand of genuine pearls and gave them to Jenny.
He had them all the time. He was just waiting for her to give up the dime-store stuff so he could give her the genuine treasure. So it is, with our Heavenly Father. He is
waiting for us to give up the cheap things in our lives so that he can give us beautiful treasures.
Isn't God good?
Are you holding onto things that God wants you to let go of? Are you holding on to harmful or unnecessary partners, relationships, habits and activities that you have come so attached to that it seems impossible to let go? Sometimes it is so hard to see what is in the other hand but do believe this one thing,
God will never take away something without giving you something better in its place.
It shows us that in this time of many changes that which we are losing will be replaced by something better
Much Love

What's new ...
As spoken of in many emails sent to you this year you will be aware by now that Sanctuary of Angels is gradually becoming the community of light visioned in 2002. As with all goals we see them from the end and live in trust that each stepping stone will be given. And it has - at last many beautiful people are fitting together as ONE puzzle.
These groups are not necessarily integrating our extended families and it is for you to know that this is ok -
Many of you have "awoken" from what seems like a deep sleep but extended family members or friends or work colleagues may not have done so yet - this is ok - they are not wrong, that is just where they are at - and you are not wrong or right - this is where you choose to be -
It is not a fight for ego - to prove one wrong and one right - that is a endless battle - it is more about acceptance - acceptance of your self - not from others and also accepting how others around you choose to be -
The healing "acceptance" brings to relationships and the freedom is immense - no one needs to accept you but you - we all have free will and this means choice to be who we are, how we feel, how we think and so on.
The more these communities of "like - hearted" people build the more a higher energy will be held - giving others the opportunity to "ride" that pure energy of love - love that expects nothing in return.
On the "welcome page" of Sanctuary of Angels there is now a "message box" where regular, daily if possible Angel messages will be placed. The first of many is there for you to read today.
On the links page there is a new beautiful link. A gentleman contacted me and many other well known Angel "teachers" asking us to channel Angel messages that could be sent by text - please take a look, there are some very loving messages that may just be the words of healing some one you know is looking for.
The latest Mini Angel workshop by phone is ready for download on the meditation page. Sadly out of 1000 subscribers only three called for the last class, which has meant I have had to place the classes on hold. It is a shame as it was a wonderful way of working with others at an affordable price but also reaching people that live miles apart. But when the time is right I am sure the opportunity will come around again.
In the meantime I would enocurage you to download a £3.50 class so that you may experience a lesson before making a judgement as to whether it is for you or not - a bit like brocilli really - looks nasty but tastes lovley and is very good for you *smile*
The "google group" is growing like a rose, the people who connect together on there are holding a very special energy, already a magnificent community of people. I thank all of you who have supported "within the wings" and made this sacred space possible. Again I ask taste it before you rule it off.
The offer of Angel Healing for only £20 is still available until the end of this month. This was a guided "offer" to assist others in releasing what may be blocking the current energy shifts to be "smoother" and also to assist the integration of the current new energies. All Therapists including myself are available. Contact details can be found on our website.
And last but certainly not least - have you seen the new "dressing up" clothes for big people in Argus? - I never did get the wonder woman out fit but seems it is not as far out of my reach as I thought *grin*

Greetings from Lucy x x
Hello everyone,
I feel very lucky and privileged to introduce myself as part of the Sanctuary of Angels Team. I hope to meet many of you through the Angel Experience Days and Create Your Reality workshops.
Working with the angels has brought a sense of "coming home" into my life. I realise the hurdles and stumbling blocks I have come across in my life have lead me to this point and guided me closer into the angelic realm.
I love the angels and I also love teaching. By combining both, I am in my strongest energy and I feel like I'm a beacon of shining light. I am a Primary School teacher too so I work with many little angels everyday. The children never fail to amaze me with their excitement, understanding and love of life. I feel we learn mutually from each other. Through Sanctuary of Angels I will be running a Little Angels Club aswell as adult workshops. Dates for Little Angels Club in Leicestershire will be coming in January.
I wish you all a beautiful and happy day.
With Love,
Lucyx

A whispered message
I just wanted to share a message that an angel whispered to me a few moments ago:
"Each moment is a new one and change is always possible."
I thought it was beautiful and empowering and wanted to share it with you all.
With love,

Always Be True to Yourself and Your Dreams
Be true to your dreams and keep them alive. Never let anyone change your mind about what you feel you can achieve. Always believe in yourself.
Be true to the light that is deep within you. Hold onto you faith, hope and joy for life. Keep good thoughts in your mind and good feelings in your heart. Keep love in your life, and you will find the love and light in everyone.
Be giving, forgiving, patient and kind. Have faith in yourself. Be your own best friend and listen to the voice that tells you to be your best self.
Be true to yourself in the paths that you choose. Follow your talents and passion; don’t take the road others say you must follow because they are the most popular. Take the paths where your talents will thrive – the ones that will keep your spirit alive with enthusiasm and everlasting joy.
Most of all, never forget that there is no brighter light than the one within you. Keep being true to yourself.

Healing your inner child ....
Hi Michelle,
Thank You so much for this months Angelic Messages,not only was it a joy to read,I also identified with so much of it,or all of it actually :-)
I especially identified with your story of healing your inner child's hurt,and your Mother.I felt I was reading about myself,before I go on,I think it is so wonderful that you could be so open and honest with everyone who received this.How brave,is that the correct word?Maybe not,but I know you will know what I mean!
I too had little affection or love from my mother especially,and yes,it was abusive too.Foul language,angry fits.....getting hurt,smacking,shouting,swearing,the list is endless.
Yet,all these years,I'm 38 now,with 2 boys of my own, I have ignored it,choosing to delude myself that I do have a mother. But in reality,I don't.
Too many times have I made contact,or vise versa,and I have been excited,overjoyed at the new beginning I thought was ahead,and each time the fall becomes harder,and affects me more.And the more it affects me,the more it affects my boys,it has a ripple affect,just recently we had a day in town,coming home full of bubbling excitement,I told my partner(yet again)about the new start,how wonderful it would be to have a mother.....a real one. Full of sorrow,he told me not to delude myself again,it would not happen......it never does,he said,genuinely sad for me.
Of course,deep down I knew he was right,I just wouldn't admit to myself.
I too,like you,have had angry outbursts with my children,when I feel I have reacted over the top,shouting and using foul language,sounding just like my mum used to,displaying her learned behaviour,and been ashamed of myself afterwards.
The rest of the time I am a loving,caring person and mum,I am proud of the fact that I am nothing like my mum.
Until now,I would not have had the courage to admit this to anyone,but you openly saying it,has given me the courage to do so too.
And with that courage to admit it to you,I can finally admit it to me,now I can finally work through the releasing of it all,knowing that with each part I release,healing will come.
Of course,I know the Angels have led me to "happen" to find your site,and receive this issue,and they will be helping me all the way.
So,it is with much gratitude I thank you for your story,which has had such a profound "awakening" for me,I know it won't be easy,but it's all part of the journey,my journey, to a new,happier,more accepting, me.
I wish you many,many blessings,and thank you for taking the time to read this,for in writing,I have found relief,and release,
I look forward to becoming more involved with Sanctuary Of Angels,

Peace
For a long time my body,mind and soul was seeking peace.
My busy mind chatted away with regretful thoughts about the past or worrying thoughts about what the future may hold.
Was peace a person,place,job,meditation,pastime or within the pages of a book?
Then I realised that I was "struggling" to find it everywhere and anywhere I could to achieve what I yearned for.
In this "struggle" I missed that all along peace resided in me.
It was my choice whether or not I decided to live in this peace or let outside influences affect me.
Im ok being me,safe being me and most importantly at peace being just me.
Love Wendy xx

Sharing x
Reading Michelle’s latest message and Claudia’s wise words about love have helped me to uncover a deep feeling anger and sadness. It has helped to push my buttons.
A few years ago, my family and I had all experienced difficult challenges, both as individuals and as a whole.
I was poorly, newly diagnosed with M.E. I had reached a stage when I could no longer speak, my mind felt as though it would crash if I heard too many words. A couple of my physical symptoms were extreme pain and exhaustion.
I had just moved in to my sister’s new house, as I had spent the past few years staying with different members of my family. Both known and unknown, I found it very unsettling.
So I had arrived in a new area, to live with two of my sisters. My elder sister had just been head hunted and moved to Bristol, my younger sister going through bereavement. My health declined further and a few months later, I was living on my own.
It was very difficult, so I was greatly relieved when my parents moved in with me. I know that it must have been incredibly difficult for them, to see me this way. I would collapse when walking across a room or not have the energy to move in bed. When spoken to too, at times I could only move my eyes, which were often full of the pain I was in. My mum, not knowing how to speak to me, spoke as she would to a little child frustrating me further, yet not being able to express it.
I could see my parent’s pain, and felt terrible, as though I was such a horrible daughter. A few months passed and they moved out, leaving me to live on my own, without any friends or any form of support.
From the day I was diagnosed, I was determined to get better, always reassuring my family that I’d be fine. Yet I felt as though everyone just kept leaving me. I felt abandonment and rejected. My illness was like a loud secret, I was later told that no one knew due to my constant reassurances, yet they lived with me and left, seen me with their own eyes.
Apart of me has been waiting for my mum to come back and accept me.
I understand that each and every one of them offered me all the love and support they could at that time. It is time for me to fully digest this, and let it go.
I am no longer the same person; I have learnt and gained so much. It has been an incredulity journey of self discovery and healing.
The un-ease is no lurking longer deep within me, asking for help hiding as physical pain or vague shadows of sadness. Thank to our sharing, the light of my consciousness fully shining upon it. I now loving accept my feelings and allow them to pass through me, creating space for a deeply level of love and forgiveness to flow into.
With Love

Three guests
A woman came out of her house and saw 3 old men with long white beards sitting in her front yard. She did not recognize them. She said "I don't think I know you, but you must be hungry. Please come in and have something to eat." "Is the man of the house home?", they asked. "No", she replied. "He's out." "Then we cannot come in", they replied. In the evening when her husband came home, she told him what had happened. "Go tell them I am home and invite them in!" The woman went out and invited the men in" "We do not go into a House together," they replied. "Why is that?" she asked. One of the old men explained: "His name is Wealth," he said pointing to one of his friends, and said pointing to another one, "He is Success, and I am Love." Then he added, "Now go in and discuss with your husband which one of us you want in your home." The woman went in and told her husband what was said. Her husband was overjoyed. "How nice!!", he said. "Since that is the case, let us invite Wealth. Let him come and fill our home with wealth!" His wife disagreed. "My dear, why don't we invite Success?" Their daughter was listening from the other corner of the house. She jumped in with her own suggestion: "Would it not be better to invite Love? Our home will then be filled with love!" "Let us heed our daughter's advice," said the husband to his wife. "Go out and invite Love to be our guest." The woman went out and asked the 3 old men, "Which one of you is Love? Please come in and be our guest." Love got up and started walking toward the house. The other 2 also got up and followed him. Surprised, the lady asked Wealth and Success: "I only invited Love, Why are you coming in?" The old men replied together: "If you had invited Wealth or Success, the other two of us would've stayed out, but since you invited Love, wherever He goes, we go with him. Wherever there is Love, there is also Wealth and Success!!!!!!"

Learning to love again ...
"God asks only that you include yourself among those you love." - Neale Donald Walsh.
The birthing of new and essential feminine energies over the past few months have meant that we have had to have been in touch with our emotions (whether we are male or female). Not only the daily exploration and digestion of our emotions but also the digestion and acceptance of any lingering, "undigested" ones and their ROOT cause.
To write to you of every adventure I have travelled since writing to you last month would result in a book with numerous sequels *smile*. The energy has been fast and "moving" - of course if the individual has "allowed" it and not "hung on" to what is leaving.
The two "adventures" I have been "asked" to speak of today are so chalk and cheese and yet neatly wrapped together.
I begin by writing to you of love ...
Love is a never ending story. It comes in so many shapes and forms and not all of them would we recognise or label as love.
Love is the very core of who we are and so in each and every moment of our day The lessons always being learnt through such a variety of relationships with ourselves and others.
And yes, Love can hurt. Only a couple of weeks ago at a very appropriate time (I needed to feel and smile that inner smile again) Sunnie came home from school full of concern because her best friend Ruby had been in the "sick room" that day with a broken heart!!
Seven years old - and already sick of love *smile*
My first day at University and a new relationship with love began for me.
The tutor was reading out a letter to the class. The letter had been typed by a father to his newborn son, for him to read when he grew up. As the father placed his expressions of love for his son as ink markings on a sheet of paper - his son, newborn - lay sleeping in his arms.
I was suddenly very overwhelmed by two very different emotions - the first was a deep understanding of that love, the memory of holding each of my children for the first amazing time very clear and the love held in those moments too and yet there was this emotion clinging to my throat almost strangling me - I was jealous and angry - why couldn't and didn't my parents ever love me or express love for rme like that - how could they not have known something that appeared so natural as a parent.
I recognised that day that although I had "learnt" of unconditional love for myself and others, although I had learnt to give love and expect no - thing in return. I had not acknowledged or fulfilled my own inner child's needs or even present day needs to be loved.
The letter and the emotions it disturbed within me were just the beginning.
During teaching an Angel Course the following six days as always and never without fail *smile* the Angels took the opportunity to teach me as I taught.
On October the 11th the girls received their group attunement. Never before have I cried during this offering, the tears were thick and fast, but so full of love and joy - it was hard to speak. That day a "new love" was born in me and I belive all of us in the group. I felt it expanding in my heart and it shone like a pure diamond of many , many sparkling dimensions.
I saw then that I was very loved in the now. I had just shut doors to the many ways love is expressed. Often we cannot feel the love others have for us because we have pre - designed ideas how love is or should be in our minds.
They seem to not fit into our "love vocabulary".
This is not to say that we cannot have that love but everyone - a parent, partner, child, friend ... has their unique way of expressing love, their own ideas of love and gifts of love to offer us.
With pre - designed ideas of love, we cannot see, recognise or receive any other form of love, it is almost invisible to us because we do not recognise it as love.
One of the many magnificent and incredible things about working with the Angelic Realm is that more than often all that a "blockage" needs to heal is recognition and then the energy breaks down enabling it to disperse and leave.
Through my own recognition of how I had structured what my relationships should be as regards to love, an energy gently melted. Many wonderful doors have opened since and through those doors an enormous variety of love and expressions of love has entered.
Without opening these doors how many new and beautiful ways would I have never known love!
I saw that the Universe was offering new and higher expressions of love for me to recieve so that in turn I coudl give - in opening doors to new ways, my heart had opened to receive these new wave of love.
"The best thing one can do when it's raining is to let it rain" Henry Wadsworth 1807 - 1882
And yet there still lingering in my "teeth" and shoulders was this un - deniable anger. It had been building up since that first day at Uni and was incredibly painful by now as if I had spent the past few weeks grinding my teeth.
Looking back now I guess a space of love was needed to be created first so that "anger" felt safe enough to show "herself".
Unfortunately for my children it all bubbled to the surface during half term. My behavior felt beyond my control and I "saw" myself repeating angry verbal scenes that I had seen my mother display when I was a child.
My language was foul just as hers had been, and when I spoke I could feel this energy "bubbling" inside of me, like a kettle that had forgotten to "click off."
Now, all emotions need to be expressed to maintain a heathy mind, body and spirit. I do not believe in labelling an emotion good or bad, negative or positive - labels and I do not really work well together.
There is not good or bad, all emotions need digesting. I see that some are of a low, denser energy and can be harder to move through and some are of a higher vibration in which energy may move with grace and flow.
All emotions are safe to express - this we are to learn and teach our children - of course there are healthy and un healthy ways of expressing emotion and as a child I experienced un healthy shows of anger.
I have had to learn over time that, the "anger " I saw was on a high scale of violence and abuse - the behavior completely un acceptable. If put on a scale of 1- 10, it was way beyond 10. I saw the anger in me was not the same and that it was not for me to shame my anger or place my anger on the same levels as my past experiences.
Well as I had said - the letter read out at Uni was the "button - pusher" - so why?
I was presented with the answer - the core reason - after years of no contact I received an email from my mother - very short and sweet, but holding what I thought was an invitation for a "real" relationship - I saw the email as an opportunity to request "rescue" from a daughter to a mother - my email received no reply - another moment of my mother not "meeting" me - my anger got worse!!
With help from my mentor and the Angles I found a very, very angry child in me who was living in hope and still waiting for her mother to love her as she thought a mother should.
She was angry at her mother for all the times she had let herself be open and vulnerable and yet she had received nothing. Behind this strong display of anger was a very lost, vulnerable, unloved little girl.
It is truly amazing how by meeting this child again as the adult, she felt safe enough to explain her anger and through her explanation and my understanding we became "whole."
It was hard - I had to tell her (in meditation) that she was to stop "waitng for mummy" because she was never coming ... as a parent myself I knew I would not leave Sunnie waiting for someone who would never come - so why leave me.
That bubble of boiling anger has gone - the pain in my teeth too - the "child within" got my attention and I listened. I do not feel myself holding in that bubble, as before I have always known it was there just not why. I can express anger now and no that in no shape or form is it wrong, shameful or harmful to those I love.
She is healed and so am I.
The change has been so wonderful. I have given myself permission to be of a greater love and also a new shiny mummy - a mummy that feels within her own "parent hood" if that makes sense - I have been baking bread and cakes with the children - real nurturing home stuff and it feels good to see my family enjoying that bread so full of love.
I had tried so hard not to be like my mother that I had not complelty found my own role or accepted that that was her "choice" of mothering and I had the right to choose my own.
To move forward we do need to be in our own wholeness - every time there is an energy shift it is after a part of me as healed or been remembered - it is as if I cannot move on until she and I are one for I need that part of me to be healed adn present for the next adventure.
I finish this now by shairng with you a message that Claudia Burnett received around the same time regarding her mother - it fits in beautifully and with far less words *smile*
Sometimes we experience relationships where we feel we are not loved.
The truth is we are loved with all that, that person has at the time.
We may think it's not much or not enough but it's all that they have.
So doesn't that mean they love you with all of their being?
The birthing of new and essential feminine energies over the past few months have meant that we have had to have been in touch with our emotions (whether we are male or female). Not only the daily exploration and digestion of our emotions but also the digestion and acceptance of any lingering, "undigested" ones and their ROOT cause.
To write to you of every adventure I have travelled since writing to you last month would result in a book with numerous sequels *smile*. The energy has been fast and "moving" - of course if the individual has "allowed" it and not "hung on" to what is leaving.
The two "adventures" I have been "asked" to speak of today are so chalk and cheese and yet neatly wrapped together.
I begin by writing to you of love ...
Love is a never ending story. It comes in so many shapes and forms and not all of them would we recognise or label as love.
Love is the very core of who we are and so in each and every moment of our day The lessons always being learnt through such a variety of relationships with ourselves and others.
And yes, Love can hurt. Only a couple of weeks ago at a very appropriate time (I needed to feel and smile that inner smile again) Sunnie came home from school full of concern because her best friend Ruby had been in the "sick room" that day with a broken heart!!
Seven years old - and already sick of love *smile*
My first day at University and a new relationship with love began for me.
The tutor was reading out a letter to the class. The letter had been typed by a father to his newborn son, for him to read when he grew up. As the father placed his expressions of love for his son as ink markings on a sheet of paper - his son, newborn - lay sleeping in his arms.
I was suddenly very overwhelmed by two very different emotions - the first was a deep understanding of that love, the memory of holding each of my children for the first amazing time very clear and the love held in those moments too and yet there was this emotion clinging to my throat almost strangling me - I was jealous and angry - why couldn't and didn't my parents ever love me or express love for rme like that - how could they not have known something that appeared so natural as a parent.
I recognised that day that although I had "learnt" of unconditional love for myself and others, although I had learnt to give love and expect no - thing in return. I had not acknowledged or fulfilled my own inner child's needs or even present day needs to be loved.
The letter and the emotions it disturbed within me were just the beginning.
During teaching an Angel Course the following six days as always and never without fail *smile* the Angels took the opportunity to teach me as I taught.
On October the 11th the girls received their group attunement. Never before have I cried during this offering, the tears were thick and fast, but so full of love and joy - it was hard to speak. That day a "new love" was born in me and I belive all of us in the group. I felt it expanding in my heart and it shone like a pure diamond of many , many sparkling dimensions.
I saw then that I was very loved in the now. I had just shut doors to the many ways love is expressed. Often we cannot feel the love others have for us because we have pre - designed ideas how love is or should be in our minds.
They seem to not fit into our "love vocabulary".
This is not to say that we cannot have that love but everyone - a parent, partner, child, friend ... has their unique way of expressing love, their own ideas of love and gifts of love to offer us.
With pre - designed ideas of love, we cannot see, recognise or receive any other form of love, it is almost invisible to us because we do not recognise it as love.
One of the many magnificent and incredible things about working with the Angelic Realm is that more than often all that a "blockage" needs to heal is recognition and then the energy breaks down enabling it to disperse and leave.
Through my own recognition of how I had structured what my relationships should be as regards to love, an energy gently melted. Many wonderful doors have opened since and through those doors an enormous variety of love and expressions of love has entered.
Without opening these doors how many new and beautiful ways would I have never known love!
I saw that the Universe was offering new and higher expressions of love for me to recieve so that in turn I coudl give - in opening doors to new ways, my heart had opened to receive these new wave of love.
"The best thing one can do when it's raining is to let it rain" Henry Wadsworth 1807 - 1882
And yet there still lingering in my "teeth" and shoulders was this un - deniable anger. It had been building up since that first day at Uni and was incredibly painful by now as if I had spent the past few weeks grinding my teeth.
Looking back now I guess a space of love was needed to be created first so that "anger" felt safe enough to show "herself".
Unfortunately for my children it all bubbled to the surface during half term. My behavior felt beyond my control and I "saw" myself repeating angry verbal scenes that I had seen my mother display when I was a child.
My language was foul just as hers had been, and when I spoke I could feel this energy "bubbling" inside of me, like a kettle that had forgotten to "click off."
Now, all emotions need to be expressed to maintain a heathy mind, body and spirit. I do not believe in labelling an emotion good or bad, negative or positive - labels and I do not really work well together.
There is not good or bad, all emotions need digesting. I see that some are of a low, denser energy and can be harder to move through and some are of a higher vibration in which energy may move with grace and flow.
All emotions are safe to express - this we are to learn and teach our children - of course there are healthy and un healthy ways of expressing emotion and as a child I experienced un healthy shows of anger.
I have had to learn over time that, the "anger " I saw was on a high scale of violence and abuse - the behavior completely un acceptable. If put on a scale of 1- 10, it was way beyond 10. I saw the anger in me was not the same and that it was not for me to shame my anger or place my anger on the same levels as my past experiences.
Well as I had said - the letter read out at Uni was the "button - pusher" - so why?
I was presented with the answer - the core reason - after years of no contact I received an email from my mother - very short and sweet, but holding what I thought was an invitation for a "real" relationship - I saw the email as an opportunity to request "rescue" from a daughter to a mother - my email received no reply - another moment of my mother not "meeting" me - my anger got worse!!
With help from my mentor and the Angles I found a very, very angry child in me who was living in hope and still waiting for her mother to love her as she thought a mother should.
She was angry at her mother for all the times she had let herself be open and vulnerable and yet she had received nothing. Behind this strong display of anger was a very lost, vulnerable, unloved little girl.
It is truly amazing how by meeting this child again as the adult, she felt safe enough to explain her anger and through her explanation and my understanding we became "whole."
It was hard - I had to tell her (in meditation) that she was to stop "waitng for mummy" because she was never coming ... as a parent myself I knew I would not leave Sunnie waiting for someone who would never come - so why leave me.
That bubble of boiling anger has gone - the pain in my teeth too - the "child within" got my attention and I listened. I do not feel myself holding in that bubble, as before I have always known it was there just not why. I can express anger now and no that in no shape or form is it wrong, shameful or harmful to those I love.
She is healed and so am I.
The change has been so wonderful. I have given myself permission to be of a greater love and also a new shiny mummy - a mummy that feels within her own "parent hood" if that makes sense - I have been baking bread and cakes with the children - real nurturing home stuff and it feels good to see my family enjoying that bread so full of love.
I had tried so hard not to be like my mother that I had not complelty found my own role or accepted that that was her "choice" of mothering and I had the right to choose my own.
To move forward we do need to be in our own wholeness - every time there is an energy shift it is after a part of me as healed or been remembered - it is as if I cannot move on until she and I are one for I need that part of me to be healed adn present for the next adventure.

To love or not to love
These are my thoughts after having many conversations with people about not feeling loved in the past, present (future?).

Relationship Changes
Hello Angel Blossoms,
Recently I've experience a relationship change, one that I never
though would happen. I've been with my partner six years now, and have
always found his parents company really difficult. I just found their
tension levels and conversation uncomfortable. I'd often come away
exhausted. I was often spoken over or ignored, but as I have said
before I use to be very quiet.
In the summer, I choose to step back from them. In a loving way I
released guilt and simply I let go. I stopped visiting and reminding
Dave to call.
Last week, Dave's mum came to our house and I was surprised to see
that our relationship has completely changed. She's unwell and
reaching out for help. His Dads is also in need of support as his
health has been declining.
My decision to spend time a part has helped so much, as we now look at
each other with new eyes. They're both starting coming to see me for
healing sessions now, and I'm glad that I can help.
It's been really interesting as I've released old habits, when another
member started to talk about how bad it all was in front of them, I
was able to speak up and was listen to, more than that agreed with.
I find it wonderful that relationships can change once we let go in
some way. Whatever we release allow space for new energy to flow into.
With Love

Love stuff
I received these emails this week I sense a theme, I heard their message for me loud and clear can you hear yours?
All from higherawareness.com
Love life and yourself
"Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength while loving someone deeply gives you courage."
-- Lao Tzu
There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance.
We need to learn to love ourselves first, in all our glory and our imperfections. If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential to create. Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace life.
"It matters not Who you love, Where you love, Why you love, When you love, Or how you love, It matters only that you love."
-- John Lennon
"Why not go out on a limb? Isn't that where the fruit is?"
-- Frank Scully
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Do you love yourself?
"At the heart of personality is the need to feel a sense of being lovable without having to qualify for that acceptance."
-- Dr. Paul Tournier
How do you see yourself as unlovable?
Take a few minutes to write down why you perceive yourself to be unlovable. Look at the list and see if you can identify where those characterizations originated. Can you pinpoint old messages from parents, teachers, and friends that led you to negative conclusions about yourself? Are those messages valid today?
The beliefs we adopt as children usually don't hold when we view them objectively as adults. Can you let them go? Can you begin to see yourself as a unique expression of life, a genuine gift to the world?
"You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection."
-- Buddha
"Limitless like the ocean are your excellent qualities."
-- Dalai Lama
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The face in the mirror
"Our inability to see beauty doesn’t suggest in the slightest that beauty is not there. Rather, it suggests that we are not looking carefully enough or with broad enough perspective to see the beauty."
-- Rabbi Harold Kushner
Who are you? You can gaze at your reflection in a mirror but you’re not likely to see your true likeness. You are beautiful, unique, perfect. Do you see that?
The world needs you to see how whole and complete you are -- now. Can you begin to own your divinity? The world needs you to know who you really are so you can be the mirror for others.
"The sun shines not on us but in us. The rivers flow not past, but through us, thrilling, tingling, vibrating every fibre and cell of the substance of our bodies, making them glide and sing."
-- John Muir

I see the magnificence in me! by Cinthia Parkes
eerie!!
I did some mirror work this week- I spent a few moments filling up with love (something I've been repeated told by the angels I must do daily, otherwise I'll run dry! so to speak) and was giving myself some healing from my star, when I felt compelled to move to the mirror built into a wall in our lounge. It's dimensions allows the viewer to see from their waist to the ceiling, so can cope with really tall people.
I stood in front, and held my hands so the healing went to my mirror image, and directed it to all my chakras, which I focused on with my eyes as well, so easy to do in front of a mirror. And then I looked into my eyes, and just stood and looked.
I started to smile. I see the magnificence in me. I see the magnificence in me. I see the magnificence in me. I SEE THE MAGNIFICENCE IN ME!
In the end I was just laughing, it felt SO good to hear me say it to me.
And I have fears of being called vain. I used to be. (used to be vain, and used to be called vain, rightly so.)
But no more. I do not need to tell others that I am magnificent, I just need to know it myself. I don't need others to tell me that I am magnificent, I just need to remember it myself. (Yes, yes, I know I've just told you lot...)
And my magnificence will show through me, will shine forth from me, so others can see, without words. And henceforth I will be a beacon for others to follow, so they too can see the magnificence in them, for what I am, I mirror out to others for them to see in themselves. And so it is. Amen.
