We would wish that you could accept yourself without condition, no matter what circumstances, desires, moods, or feelings you feel. We wish that you could love yourselves as we love you, as God loves you for in our eyes you are perfect in every way - you are courageous souls, on earth, learning to dissolve the illusions that you are separate from God and from one another. You are learning to love yourselves and others as God loves. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dear ones as you start accepting yourselves more unconditionally, you will find it much easier to allow others to be who they are as well. You were never intended to educate or "fix" another soul through your words or your efforts. It is through you being who you are in any given moment, listening to the dictates in your heart, expressing whatever is in your heart to be expressed, that you affect the world in the way God wishes. If you are called to live an inspiring life of joy and ease, then do so. If you are called to serve the hungry or help the homeless, then do so. If you are called to share your dollars, then do so. If you are called to care for your parents or children, then do so. If you are called in a given moment, to take a long soak in the tub and allow yourself rest, then do so. If you seek to express yourself through a hobby or to further educate yourself in an area of interest, then do so. Trust there are reasons. If your heart wants to be expressed in a relationship then dear ones, pray for the right words at the right time and allow yourself to speak.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For it is in listening to your own hearts, accepting your own feelings, acting according to your own longings, and speaking according to your own truth that you change the world. If your focus is upon changing others you will eternally be frustrated because you cannot ever control whether your words and actions will be the catalysts for change.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, if your focus is simply upon being who are in any given moment, then this in itself is the reward. If your "being" happens to help others find the light then they have opened to receive the gifts of God as He expresses Himself through your soul and your human presence upon the earth. A rose blooms because it is a rose. It does not seek to change the world or make it a more beautiful place, and yet it does so for those willing to stop and receive its gift. Likewise you bloom because you are you. You do not have to seek to change the world or make it a more beautiful place, and yet as you bloom, you will do so for those willing to stop and see you and receive the gifts that you are sharing with the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a fine line to walk as a human being and we do understand it is difficult. You all want so badly to help others see the light, but rather than trying to convince them, BE the light. You all want so badly to be loved, but rather than seeking to earn love, BE love. You all want so badly to experience more abundance but rather than trying to manipulate your own heart, other or life to 'get' more, BE the abundance that you seek - for indeed your own hearts are rich with talents, kindness, love, and gifts that can bring you prosperity if you would only seek to share them with the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Be who you are in any given moment dear ones. Speak the words that reside in your heart when you are motivated to do so, and do so with kindness. Allow yourselves to have your feelings without agenda or a need to 'make' anything happen. This is not easy. You are trained as human beings to DO rather than to just BE and yet if you are BEING yourself, you will only DO what God guides you to do, from a place of joy, heart, inspiration, light, and truth. And in so DOing, your very BEING will light up the world.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23551004-8450579665871253135?l=www.visionsofheaven.com%2Fangel_messages%2Fangel_messages.html' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.visionsofheaven.com/angel_messages/2010/01/it-is-your-being-that-lights-world.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (angelann)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23551004.post-670865295534592177</guid><pubDate>Sat, 16 Jan 2010 19:46:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-01-25T12:46:33.109-07:00</atom:updated><title>Old beliefs try to hang on</title><description>Understand that many of you are in a phase of moving forward into a whole new way of living - a way of life that embraces God's truth, embraces the fact that you are loved, cared for, and guided. Many of you are finding that you no longer want to complicate your lives with mindless activities and meaningless interactions, but instead are craving action borne of the heart's guidance and desires, and interactions that deepen your experience of love upon planet earth. You are simplifying, cutting out the superficial, and embracing what is real, true, and good in your lives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the process you will find that old beliefs, thought patterns, and fears rise up within you, attempting to keep you from moving into greater light. These energies need a 'host' to exist. When you once lived in fear, you supported that fear. Now that you are leaving fear behind, just as any virus, it seeks to weaken you so you will once again give in and become its host. Dear ones, say "no" to these fears, say "no" to old beliefs that tell you you are anything less than worthy of God's love and support, for indeed you are made of God's love. Say "no" to the belief systems and patterns that tell you that you are unsupported, alone, unloved. For these lies have ruled human hearts for centuries and it is time to look them in the eye, see them for what they are and ask God and the angels to help you live in truth. You are born from the love of God, and indeed you are breathed into life by the very love of God. You are supported by God, guided by God, and directed in your expression by God. Indeed all your interactions upon the earth will become easier, more graceful, and more filled with joy if you can embrace that belief wholeheartedly and trust in your heart's guidance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dear ones, we love you. We celebrate you. We know your lives have not been easy. We know how hard it is to disentangle yourselves from the very human fears that seek to possess you. And yet with sincere prayer, sincere intent, and a willingness to deny fear a host within your heart, you will rise above these fears and create for yourselves a life of heaven upon the earth. Heaven is a condition dear ones, not a place, and you can find this condition of knowing God's love within your lives here and now.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23551004-670865295534592177?l=www.visionsofheaven.com%2Fangel_messages%2Fangel_messages.html' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.visionsofheaven.com/angel_messages/2010/01/old-beliefs-try-to-hang-on.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (angelann)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23551004.post-2067647234651347350</guid><pubDate>Sat, 09 Jan 2010 19:44:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-01-25T12:44:39.177-07:00</atom:updated><title>A year to be honest with yourself</title><description>Celebrate dear ones! God is in charge. 2009 was a year of letting go of the beliefs, patterns, habits, situations, and circumstances that did not serve your soul's truth and this will continue on into 2010. This is wonderful news dear friends, because as you continue to release what does not serve the truth of you, you will allow room for what does.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take inventory of your beliefs. What do you believe about life, love, God, abundance, and what is possible for you?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In truth, life is meant to be a classroom in which you learn about love - love of God, love of self, and from that place of fullness, love of others. God dear friends, far from being the judgmental and angry character that many of your learned about in childhood is the very love, intelligence, and presence that animates the universe. God is the one that breathes your breath, makes you hearts beat, moves the stars in the heavens, and guides you in every moment of your lives. God loves you unconditionally, no matter who you have been, and no matter what you have or have not done.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Abundance dear friends is everywhere! If you get out of God's way by putting your fears and worries aside, then all that you ever want or need can be brought into your lives, because in truth, All this ARE possible with God, for God is in all things. God created and intimately knows all 6.4 billion people on your planet. God knows who and what serves you and who and what does not. God knows you dear ones and loves you... the question is, "Do you want to truly know and love yourselves?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Be honest about who you want to be this year. Be honest about your priorities, your goals, and your dreams. Be honest about the fact that you do not wish to waste time on things and in circumstances that do not serve your spirit in some fashion. A job you don't like may pay the bills now, so give thanks for that, but go about intending, praying for, and creating one that can pay the bills and serve your soul. A relationship may be difficult but you can still be loving to yourself and others within it - thereby either transforming it or moving it out of your life. Embrace and be grateful for what you have now, but also intend and begin to create the "more" that you want.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is in your nature as expanding souls to want more. It is in your nature as eternal souls to be grateful for the moment you are in. These two movements are not contradictory. If you are grateful for where you are now, then you are not creating resistance. You are not wasting your precious energy. You are not, in your human terms, "spinning your wheels." Instead you are living centered in the moment, powerfully seeing the love that is already there. From this spot, dear ones, you can indeed look ahead and want more from a place of abundance in your heart, from a place of already knowing love, already knowing security, already knowing God's presence. By living in the moment and seeing the TRUTH therein - that you are secure, abundant, and loved in the heart of God - from here you can create very powerfully.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We love you so very much. Continue sorting through your mind, heart, emotions, possessions, and circumstances to discern what truly serves your joy and what does not. This year, be impeccably honest with yourselves dear ones, and honest with God about what you wish to create. And then, allow room in your hearts to receive love, healing, assistance, and absolute magic in your lives.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23551004-2067647234651347350?l=www.visionsofheaven.com%2Fangel_messages%2Fangel_messages.html' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.visionsofheaven.com/angel_messages/2010/01/year-to-be-honest-with-yourself.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (angelann)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23551004.post-3380319837253503966</guid><pubDate>Sun, 03 Jan 2010 04:26:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-01-07T21:26:30.573-07:00</atom:updated><title>Happy 2010</title><description>As we enter the new year, remember God is in charge and all is well! If you have done your work and cleared yourself of beliefs that limit you, you will find absolute magic occurring in your lives, for the more you expect the best, and the more you release control, the greater the magic and the more miracles God can work in your life. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By all means, do what you know to do towards your goals, but act according to your hearts. Stop pushing yourselves out of fear and panic and trust, dear ones, that the one who keeps the stars in motion can surely and easily assist you in making your lives better than you would imagine. For just as each star in the heavens has its trajectory, so too do your souls have a path for your lives that you are in the process of co-creating with God.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your desires and intentions set the compass so to speak for the energy of God to work in your life. Your focus holds the course. Your fears stop the manifestations and your positive expectations make them come more easily. Always dear ones, when you are intending, leave room for more. "God I would like this in my life but if you have better in store for me, or a better way of bringing this about, I would love that." God, dear ones, often wants more for you than you want.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So in the year of 2010 stay focused on your positive expectations not only for yourselves but for your world. Instead of focusing on what you do not like in your life or in the world, focus on what you would like to see. In this fashion you lend your spiritual strength to the solutions instead of remaining stuck in the problems.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dear ones, 2010 continues to be a year of growth but also a year of incredible spiritual opportunity to let go and let God, to surrender to your hearts, and thereby surrender to Higher Power's desire to give you a life beyond what you dream.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Happy New Year!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23551004-3380319837253503966?l=www.visionsofheaven.com%2Fangel_messages%2Fangel_messages.html' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.visionsofheaven.com/angel_messages/2010/01/happy-2010.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (angelann)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23551004.post-8549828220420442396</guid><pubDate>Sun, 27 Dec 2009 04:27:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-01-07T21:27:26.456-07:00</atom:updated><title>Nurture God's light within you</title><description>As you approach the new year, we'd like to thank each and every one of you for your commitment to growth in the year 2009 for it was a year of reckoning, so to speak, a year in which everyone was forced to drop into their hearts, face their fears, confront their illusions, and to search for Faith, Trust, and Love. It was a year in which God began to put His foot down with humanity, and encourage each one of you to evaluate your priorities, discover and return to your core values. It was a year in which growth was not optional.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Each one of you has been courageous this year. Each one of you has done your best to commit to receiving and sharing God's love. We would urge each one of you, as you look back on the year of 2009 to bless and acknowledge yourselves for the growth you have achieved. Sit for a few minutes during your holiday season and take time in self-appreciation, for it is in acknowledging what is good and true inside your own hearts and your own lives, that you amplify God's love and light in the very same. It is in taking inventory to see what is positive, what there is to be grateful for, what you have achieved, that you create more good. It is in acknowledging yourselves, your true loving selves, that you begin to find God's light within you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dear ones, in the year of 2010, nurture God's light within you. Be honest about who and what supports you in being a loving and honest person. Pray for the way to move away from situations that do not nurture your true spirit, for God is working with each one of you to help you find your "home" here upon the earth, and home dear ones, may be a place, but more importantly it is a state of mind in which you know you are loved, supported, and surrounded by a community of like mind and heart. In 2010, situations that do not support the truth of you will become less tolerable so please be kind and loving as you make changes in your lives. Acknowledge that all change is a movement towards greater love, greater light, and a greater expression of your being. In 2010 you are being asked to let your light shine rather than dimming it to make the masses more comfortable around you. Your light, your heart, is nothing less than the light of God made manifest upon this earth, and the love of God expressed through each one of you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We wish each one of you a blessed and joyous New Year as you gravitate towards that which gives you joy and leave behind that which causes you pain. Each one of you is breathed to life by the living God. Each one of you deserves this joy. Each one of you is precious and loved beyond compare. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Happy New Year, dear ones, and happy expanding new you.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23551004-8549828220420442396?l=www.visionsofheaven.com%2Fangel_messages%2Fangel_messages.html' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.visionsofheaven.com/angel_messages/2009/12/nurture-gods-light-within-you.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (angelann)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23551004.post-8708378372476588595</guid><pubDate>Sun, 20 Dec 2009 05:30:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-12-22T22:33:58.570-07:00</atom:updated><title>The Present of Your Presence</title><description>In this season of light, look around you. There is light everywhere in your world. Instead of looking for what is wrong, search for what is right. Instead of looking at the doom and the gloom around you, find the simplest things to celebrate. For within the simple pleasures and joys of life - in the simplest gestures of kindness and love - it is there that you discover and share the most magnificent expressions of God's love for all of you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This season celebrates the birth of a humble child, the burning of a humble lamp, and the humble expressions of God's love rising up from within your hearts and burning brightly for all the world to see.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is not the presents you buy but the your presence in the world that ultimately is your greatest gift to friends, family, and ultimately back to God. It is your attentive presence in a conversation that gives the gift of healing. It is the presence of a joyful smile that brightens a stranger's day. It is your presence with a child, doing a humble craft, or sharing a humble story that will be one of their brightest memories in times to come. It is the presence of your hand upon another that offers comfort, compassion, and care. Dear ones, the material gifts are wonderful and fun and of course you are all encouraged to share what you feel motivated to do so, but more so, share your hearts, your love, your kindness, your compassion, your gifts and talents, a listening ear, an uplifting word... Share of yourselves, not just during the holiday season but all throughout the year. You all want magic in your lives. Know that you are the the magical presence of love. You are the gifts that you seek. You are the light reaching out and reassuring a weary and waiting world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dear ones, unplug your spirits from the bondage of judgment so you can share your love without fear. Untie your hands from the fears of misunderstanding so you can hug a person in need. Release your fears of lack and share from the abundance of love that you feel within your own hearts! Allow your heart the present of an unprecedented level of freedom from fear, and a new sense of joy during this holiday season. Tell others how much they mean to you. Share with them what you see inside of them even if they do not yet see it themselves. Hug as if you mean it. Don't hold back your love for it truly it is within giving that you receive, and in receiving that you give.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You are the light that lit the lamp. You are the manger in which the Christ light is given birth. You are the PRESENCE of God in this world and the very great gift to the same. This season let your love shine brightly and allow yourselves to truly treasure the gift and the presence of those around you, for each and every one of you is a bright and beautiful gift to this world. Each and every one of you is a manifestation of God's love. And how, knowing this, could you do anything other than give thanks for the gift of your own PRESENCE here upon the earth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We love and treasure each and every one of you, for you are a gift unto us as well.&lt;br /&gt;-- The Angels&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23551004-8708378372476588595?l=www.visionsofheaven.com%2Fangel_messages%2Fangel_messages.html' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.visionsofheaven.com/angel_messages/2009/12/present-of-your-presence.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (angelann)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23551004.post-4095002060231777361</guid><pubDate>Sun, 13 Dec 2009 05:29:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-12-22T22:29:53.569-07:00</atom:updated><title>You are the lights of the world</title><description>It is indeed interesting that at the darkest time of your year, in the season of winter, when the sun appears to be at its lowest point, you celebrate the very greatest and miraculous lights that have graced your world. This dear ones is such a metaphor for your lives - for in times of darkness you are forced to go within and find the Christ light within yourselves - the light and love of God within you. It is in times of lack, that you find the true abundance within you - the light that never stops burning in the temple of your souls. It is in humble situations that humanity often finds its greatest capacity to love and give to one another. It is in simplicity that you find your greatest abundance. In times of need, your faith draws unto you the miracles you require to keep going in your lives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dear ones, darkness and difficult times are nothing to be feared, but rather opportunities for you to turn your hearts to Truth - that you are none other than a brilliant eternal being created in each moment by the very breath and love of God; that you are eternally supported in love; and that it is only the illusions that you are separate from this love that keep you in situations that feel so lonely and unloving. If you could only feel, for but a minute, your connection with your loving creator, all problems would seem so small and insignificant, and you would trust that in the very next breath, even in darkest and most humble of times, your life can be birthed anew in this beautiful love and light of God.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So in this season of winter, when the trees slow the movement of their sap, when the plants withdraw for a much needed rest, and when the animals go within their burrows, so too dear ones, spend time going within your own hearts, and searching for the comfort of God's light. Sit quietly in stillness for a few minutes each day and ask to feel God's love, God's peace, and God's abundance, for all these feelings are available to your right here, right now, in this moment. And when you allow yourself to feel these feelings, no matter what your outer circumstances, you begin to tap into a different stream of reality - one in which your outer life will change and grow better, brighter, more loving, more abundant, and more filled with the grace of God.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You, dear ones, are God's lights in this world. You are the lamps that burn brightly. You are the hope for this world, the inspiration for others, the hands, the eyes, the mouth of God. You are the ones who, through your willingness to receive the Truth of God's love into your lives, can give even more. It is in receiving God's love that you can fill your cup and spill it. It is in giving and sharing of this love, when you are full, that you open to receive more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We love you so very much dear friends. We hold you in such high esteem. We know this year has been so difficult for so many of you and so joyous for others, and yet no matter where you are in your lives, we see you as nothing less than the incarnation of the living God's love. Know this, pray for it, ask to feel it in your hearts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For as you receive, we too are filled with greater and greater love, because we, the angels, live to love and live to bring you into the awareness that you are all on earth to do the very same.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23551004-4095002060231777361?l=www.visionsofheaven.com%2Fangel_messages%2Fangel_messages.html' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.visionsofheaven.com/angel_messages/2009/12/you-are-lights-of-world.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (angelann)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23551004.post-3899678987985923922</guid><pubDate>Sun, 06 Dec 2009 05:34:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-12-05T22:35:14.918-07:00</atom:updated><title>You are the gift</title><description>As you enter your season of giving remember, dear ones, you are the true gift to others in your life. It is your light, your love, your willingness to share of your hearts and your talents that are the greatest gifts of all. The Christ child came into the world to bring the light of God, and so did you dear friends. Each one of you aspires to experience the love of God in your life, to become that love, and to share your unique gifts and talents with the world. Each of you is made of the very same light. Each of you is a precious gift from God and back to God. You are all so very unique and so very special.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So as you contemplate the presents you will share with one another this year, give from your heart of hearts. Rather than worrying as much about material giving, consider the gift of kind words, the gift of a hug, the gift of a smile to a stranger that looks as if they are in need of love. Consider giving of your talents - if you sing, give a song; if you bake, share your goodies; if you draw, create a set of greeting cards; if you love to make things, create magical gifts of love. If you love animals, you can walk a friend's puppies. If you love children, you can baby sit. If you are a compassionate listener you can give the gift of a friendly and understanding ear to another. Dear ones, it is the gifts of your heart that are the ones most treasured, most remembered, and most celebrated here upon the earth, for these are the gifts that truly bless you as you give them and bless the receiver with God's love as expressed through you. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here in the heavens, we have no judgments about material giving. We love to see you share with one another in any form, for the the material world is yours to enjoy. However, many of you have had a hard year financially and are worried about how to create meaningful holidays for one another, so we ask you to remember that the greatest gifts in life are given when you share your heart and soul, your gifts and talents, and the true treasure within your spirit with one another. In these connections, God is found and rediscovered once again in human hearts.

You are the bringers of truth. You are the living emissaries of God's love. We honor you for we know this is no easy task here upon the earth - to remember the truth, that you are born of the living God, that you are made of love, and that you are eternally loved, supported, and cared for. As you continue to dissolve the illusions that you are anything less, your lives will continue to transform.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Never be hard upon yourselves dear ones. Many of you have had a challenging year, and yet in these challenges you are finding great strength, faith, perseverance, and wisdom. Challenges are not indicative of failure, but rather a willingness to learn your lessons upon the earth. The more you surrender to your your hearts in each moment, the less intense the challenges will be.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Give thanks for all you have experienced this year, for within each challenge lie the seeds of a greater tomorrow. Within each difficult situation is an opportunity to drop deeper into your hearts, to own your spiritual power more thoroughly, to find a faith in God's love for you that is even more solid. Dear ones, we love you so much, and in our eyes, none of you ever have or ever will 'fail' in anything. You will simply learn.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Give thanks for everything dear friends - the good, the 'bad', and everything in between - for in each moment of your lives, if you search for what is good you will see it. If you pray to experience God's love you will find it. If you give thanks for yourselves, you will generate a field of wonder in your aura that will continue to attract more and more good.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We give thanks for you, for in each and every moment, we witness your courage, your grace, your love, your compassion, your willingness to seek and find the light in the darkness, and more importantly, to be that very light in the world.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23551004-7538040108874269099?l=www.visionsofheaven.com%2Fangel_messages%2Fangel_messages.html' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.visionsofheaven.com/angel_messages/2009/11/happy-thanksgiving.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (angelann)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23551004.post-5510860743335632022</guid><pubDate>Sat, 14 Nov 2009 17:05:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-11-16T10:06:10.920-07:00</atom:updated><title>Find God in your eyes</title><description>God's love, dear ones, is without condition. This is the love each and every one of you is seeking to feel, to be, and to share with the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;God's love sees each one of you as perfect, here and now, whether you are beautiful or not, whether you are kind or not, whether you have accomplished miracles or feel like a total failure. God sees each one of you as a already whole and complete, much as He sees the perfectly bloomed rose within each bud, and the mighty oak within each acorn. God knows who you really are. It is simply your job to discover this incredible beauty within, as your soul blossoms with each passing day. God's angels lovingly tend to your heart of hearts, in each and every moment - helping you find the truth within and helping you push through the darker times in your life. The angels are always here, helping you reach for the light that is always present as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The more you choose to love yourselves without condition, the more you can experience and feel God's love. If you look for this love outside of yourself, you will never quite find it, for you can only give and receive the love that you allow yourself to feel for yourself first. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Can you look in the mirror, however long it takes you, and find the love of God within your own eyes? Dear ones, if you could do this exercise each day until you see this light you would be in awe of the presence that gives you life! As you look into the mirror, imagine, even if you cannot yet feel it, that it is God's presence looking out from behind your eyes. This light and this love is your truest and deepest self. You are so much more than your body, your thoughts, your circumstances, your finances, your personalities. You are the very breath and creation of God made manifest in human form and it is His love that lives and breathes in each one of you. It is God's presence that makes your heart beat, your lungs breathe, and your human spirit long for truth, beauty, and kindness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Search for this presence in your eyes every day, if only for a few minutes, and little by little if you do so with a sincere heart, you will begin to have a deep, abiding, and unconditional love for yourself. In this space, you will attract more and more good unto yourselves, and a much kinder experience of life, for you will know your own worth and value.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We love you so very much dear ones, for we understand the true nature of each one of your souls. You are beautiful, magnificent, and powerful, and it is only misunderstanding and fear that cause you to believe you are anything less than deserving of total love, support, kindness, and inspiration from the entirety of God's creation. These things are there for you, all around you, right now. As you see God within your own eyes, you will start to see His light within the eyes of others. You will start to feel His presence everywhere you look. You will come to know that you are never alone, never without love, never without options, resources, and support - for God already loves you more than you can possibly ever imagine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It does take time and effort to search for find what is and has always been with you. Why not start today? With each breath your life begins anew, and with each choice to search for the light and presence of God within your own soul, you become more radiant, more open to opportunity, and more of who you truly are.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23551004-5510860743335632022?l=www.visionsofheaven.com%2Fangel_messages%2Fangel_messages.html' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.visionsofheaven.com/angel_messages/2009/11/find-god-in-your-eyes.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (angelann)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23551004.post-427649318129336091</guid><pubDate>Sun, 08 Nov 2009 03:59:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-11-09T21:00:18.970-07:00</atom:updated><title>Do not fear your own hearts</title><description>Allow yourselves to feel everything deeply, for it is through your feelings that you touch upon your soul's greatest truths. Your emotions are simply messages from the soul - honor them for their wisdom, then allow them to move through you, as you move through life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So many of you try to avoid your darker feelings and yet, they too point to your soul's truth. Beneath every angry feeling is a passionate desire to create more. Beneath every sadness and disappointment is a longing for sweetness. Beneath every jealousy there is a desire to know you are worthy of what you envy. Beneath every frustration is a soul's desire to seek out a deeper and truer path. Dear ones, your darker spaces contain great light. Dig deep inside yourself and find it. Within feelings of helplessness are the seeds of surrender. Within feelings of desolation you seek out your own very great light. Within feelings of loneliness, you search for God. When you are feeling your darker spaces, dig deep within and find the light of your own soul - these are the areas of deep growth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you find yourself in the throes of bliss, gratitude, love, passionate expression, and deep joy, by all means celebrate! Do not dim your light. These are the truths that your soul wishes to share with the world. Allow yourselves to feel and feel deeply. Do not let fear damn up the flow of grace that courses through you in these moments. Celebrate the good feelings and allow yourself to move through life unattached as to whether or not they will be here in the next moment, for the minute you introduce this fear of losing your joys, you are no longer in joy. Simply enjoy your joys dear ones, and share them. Joy is the native state of the soul.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do not be afraid of your own hearts, dear ones, for within them you find the truth that God wishes to express in the world. Own who you are and how you feel in any given moment. If you are feeling the darker spaces, dig deep to find the light seeking to be expressed. If you are in the light-filled spaces, let yourself shine. Go deeper always, into your own hearts. You can always find greater love, and a greater desire to both give and receive this love.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You are all so beautiful to us. Do not talk yourselves out of being who you are, feeling what you feel, and expressing the very great desire for the love that your souls wish to share with, and receive from, the world.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23551004-427649318129336091?l=www.visionsofheaven.com%2Fangel_messages%2Fangel_messages.html' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.visionsofheaven.com/angel_messages/2009/11/do-not-fear-your-own-hearts.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (angelann)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23551004.post-3116232828356610306</guid><pubDate>Sat, 31 Oct 2009 15:19:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-10-31T08:20:17.736-07:00</atom:updated><title>Find the love beneath it all</title><description>In your hearts dear ones there is always light, always joy, always truth. It is only your minds, your conditioning, and your fears, that darken these beautiful spaces of the soul. When you walk in joy and faith, you walk in truth. When you walk in fear, the illusions of the world are making an attempt to possess you. Your loving creator desires to give you all that you need and more. Your loving creator wants you to experience the joys of this reality, the security that comes from knowing all your true needs are met, the delight of connecting with other wonderful experiences and human beings. Your loving creator wants more for you than you would ever dream of asking. God wants nothing less than to allow your soul to blossom in the fullness of its loving expression this lifetime.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you worry, allow fears of lack, fears of the future, or feelings of separation to possess you, you are truly giving up your God given right to be happy. Look your fears in the face, dear ones. Challenge them. What if they did come true? In the worst of cases, you would handle the situation while God holds your hands and angels guide you. You would learn. You would come out stronger, wiser, more clear on the true nature of God's love. Better yet, if you surrender to each moment, embracing its beauties, giving thanks for its gifts and blessings, then chances are likely you will not even have to face your fears. For in avoiding fears fearfully, you draw them unto you, but in loving each moment, there is no room in your soul for these fears to take root. They cannot grow into reality when planted in a heart that is watered with love and tended with kindness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you feel fearful, ask to feel the truth of God's love. Sit, breathe, relax, and receive until you are calm and feeling the truth of this beautiful light inside you once again. When you are fearful for another, use your willpower to stop your worrying and surround them with a beautiful light. When you are afraid about your future, give thanks and praise for you now. Sometimes you do not like where you are in life. That is ok, but there is always, and we repeat, always something to be thankful for and something to life your vibration.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dear ones, fears are temporary, but the truth of God's love is eternal. This love is what creates you, sustains you, breathes every breath you breathe, and pulses through every beat of your heart. This love will be with you throughout your entire life and after death. There is never a moment when it is not there. There are only times when, as human beings, you allow fears to take control of your minds, possess your spirits, and then dear ones, you are simply wearing a blindfold and cannot see the light. Go within, sit, breathe, relax, receive, and you will find this light once again. Focus upon it. Fill your hearts with gratitude for the beautiful and treasured souls that you truly are and then your lives will begin to reflect the miraculous nature of heaven.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Heaven is and has always been there for you dear ones. Focus upon what is good and true and heaven will reveal is beautiful light in both your hearts and your lives.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23551004-3116232828356610306?l=www.visionsofheaven.com%2Fangel_messages%2Fangel_messages.html' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.visionsofheaven.com/angel_messages/2009/10/find-love-beneath-it-all.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (angelann)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23551004.post-1351131124694642280</guid><pubDate>Sat, 24 Oct 2009 20:14:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-10-25T13:14:23.882-07:00</atom:updated><title>Opportunity in challnge</title><description>Dear ones, life is short, no matter how long you live it. Your problems, in the grand scheme of eternity, no matter how large they seem at present, will look so very small. And yet your opportunities in any given moment to experience the miracle of being in human form are so very grand. Do not dignify the devil by giving energy to your problems. Instead, focus with gratitude on the miracles all around you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Focus on what you need to do, pray for guidance for the rest, and trust that God, who knows all your needs as well all your lessons, is in charge. Even when people die, dear friends, they are reunited with their loving creator. And so the worst can be the best. The times of greatest challenge financially can bring the greatest opportunity for families to come together and focus on what is truly of value. The times of greatest challenge with health can be the greatest opportunity to allow others to love you. The times of greatest sadness for another can force you to focus on your own well being. Of course if you willingly embrace your growth, focus on what is of value, allow yourself to both give and receive, and trust that if you honor your own loving expression, then the challenges life presents as lessons need not be so great.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dear ones, God loves you, more than you can possibly imagine and that is eternal truth. There is no deeper and greater truth. When you learn to have true faith and trust in this, and when you learn to embrace the fact that you cannot, no matter how you feel, ever be disconnected from your loving creator, then your lives will reflect this knowing. In the greatest times of adversity and in the most celebrated joys, embrace this truth. Your lives will become a magnificent expression then, of God's love.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23551004-1351131124694642280?l=www.visionsofheaven.com%2Fangel_messages%2Fangel_messages.html' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.visionsofheaven.com/angel_messages/2009/10/opportunity-in-challnge.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (angelann)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23551004.post-4927053060572639153</guid><pubDate>Sat, 17 Oct 2009 20:11:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-10-25T13:11:43.014-07:00</atom:updated><title>Love is the greatest healer</title><description>The world needs your light dear ones. So many of you are so worried about taking care of everyone else and yet the best way you can care for the world and for those you love is to stand in a truth that shines brightly - namely that God loves each and every one of you. If you want to help someone who is suffering, rather than bailing them out as so many of you are apt to do, love them, uplift them, express faith in them, encourage their dreams, be there as a compassionate listener when you can. Far better for you to stand in the light of God's love than to get drawn into the upsets and frustrations of the world. Far better for you to be a shining example of faith in God's abundance rather than to succumb to the darkness and illusion of lack. Far better to embrace this life and this earth as the school that it is, learning your lessons willingly and moving through them quickly, rather than resisting and therefore creating greater struggle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Life is short dear ones. It is a privilege to be upon the earth. There are so many souls in the heavens wishing to learn in this very prestigious school you call earth. And yet it is, without question, the toughest school in the universe. There is only one lesson, and that is to embrace and trust in the love of God that you are made of. If you can do this, you would all love and respect yourselves. You would be able to allow others to be where they are at, without judgment and comparison. You would relinquish the need to save, fix, argue, and judge, and you would simply be shining examples of this love.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;God is working in all lives. Each soul going through challenge is simply being guided to grow in directions that God knows will ultimately assist in their soul's greatest joy. Change is never easy. Loss can be unthinkably hard. And yet dear ones, the greatest flowers grow out of the most composted soil, and the greatest lives often grow out of the greatest challenge.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you want to truly help another, pray and check in with your own heart. What feels like a joy to do and give, rather than a burden? What words can you use that are loving, compassionate, and acknowledge the others' perspectives as well as your own. It is not your job to educate another if they do not ask for this. It is not your job to assist them unless God puts it in your heart with a joyful desire to do so. God directs all assistance, all true help, and all real solutions. The human ego comes up with the rest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Instead of worrying about others, be the love of God to the best of your ability. Love and accept others' perspectives, even if they are uncomfortable to you, for they are exactly what that person needs to grow at this time. Do your best to refrain from judging and comparing yourselves for each one of you is beautiful, unique, and precious to God. Each one of you is exactly where you need to be to allow God to work in your lives. Love others through their challenges rather than judging or criticizing them. This does not mean you have to compromise who you are or what you want to do, but you can always find love and prayer in your heart, regardless of the course of action/inaction that you choose.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love yourself as well through your own challenges rather than judging or criticizing yourselves. Challenge does not indicate failure. It is, rather, simply an intense course of study.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love is the greatest healer, the most compassionate way to act, and the only true lesson in this school called earth.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23551004-4927053060572639153?l=www.visionsofheaven.com%2Fangel_messages%2Fangel_messages.html' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.visionsofheaven.com/angel_messages/2009/10/love-is-greatest-healer.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (angelann)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23551004.post-7919395218094348959</guid><pubDate>Sat, 10 Oct 2009 19:50:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-10-12T12:51:14.463-07:00</atom:updated><title>Ask for real help - you are not alone</title><description>Breathe deeply and know that you are all so tenderly loved. God loves all of you dear ones, each and every one without exception. God loves you always and constantly, whether or not you are in a good frame of mind, whether or not you are proud of your life, whether or not you even believe in Him. God understands that every soul is on a quest to dissolve the illusion that they are separate from their source, and so like a loving parent, He waits for your to realize His love within your own heart, and assists you in seeing that spark in others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your world, dear ones, is riddled with fears: fears about viruses and fears of vaccines; fears of having too little and fears of being powerful; fears about healthcare; fears about the economy; fears about whether or not you can take care of your children, and the list goes on. Dear ones, stop, breathe, and remember you are loved. God is the source of all health and well being. God is the source of your abundance no matter who gives you the paycheck. God is your greatest caretaker. Your children were His children first and He loves them in a way that is incomprehensible to the human mind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are so sad when we see you struggling and trying to solve your life's problems all by yourselves, for God and your angels patiently wait to be enlisted in your service. You cannot order God and tell Him how to manage your life. You can instead drop into your hearts, and find what is already in there, for this is the truth He longs to serve. You can say "Dear God I am exhausted and I need your help in finding fulfilling work." "God I am wits end as to how to support my children. Give me peace in my heart and show me what I can do for them, and where I need to surrender." "God I am afraid that I cannot pay my bills or that I am going to lose my house. Give me peace of mind and heart. If it is your will that I pay them, guide me. If I am to learn by losing something, then help me understand the lessons and go through my changes with grace." "God I so desperately want to create change in my life. Guide me and grant me patience while the changes unfold."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These prayers, dear ones, the prayers that simply admit what is in your heart and ask for assistance, both in changing your outer lives, but also more importantly in learning the lessons within each situation - these prayers are answered in perfect timing. Ordering God about - throwing tantrums, begging, pleading, bargaining - these behaviors, although perfectly human are a different kind of prayer because in a way you are saying, "God I want this but I don't believe you will give it to me and I'm mad. I don't believe you care about me, so I will beg. I don't believe I am worthy of your love and attention, so I will bargain." Not only are these behaviors unnecessary, but in a way they negate the energy you are sending out into the universe. They say, "God fix my life" and in the same breath "I do not believe you will or I am not sure I am worthy." You water down and negate your own prayers with these behaviors. Stand up tall and pray with your whole heart, having confidence that although you may have lessons to learn, God DOES care. You ARE worthy. You will be guided with tenderness and love through the changes you experience if you can embrace the way the universe works.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;God is not cruel dear ones. He could come in, and in a heartbeat, fix your lives, and yet He does not always do this because earth is a school. When you are at home in heaven, things are different. But how much would a child learn if the parent sheltered them, prevented them from ever experiencing hardship, paved their path with gold, did their homework, and didn't allow them to develop their own strength? Behaviors like this enable dependency and prevent one from finding their own strength, talents, and skills. Behaviors like this are not what God is all about. God is about helping you find HIS divine light within your own hearts - helping you learn that you are are not dependent children, but rather magnificent beings, made in His image and likeness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are times when you will experience deep challenge. There are times of loss, fear, and sometimes even suffering. But you can weather these times ever more gracefully if you stand up tall, ask to be shown the lessons, ask for what you truly want, and ask for the grace to know when to act and what to do. Then surrender, wait for guidance, and act when the inspirations occur. In this way you create a dance with God that acknowledges HIs true nature and serves in assisting you back into the flow of Divine Grace.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23551004-7919395218094348959?l=www.visionsofheaven.com%2Fangel_messages%2Fangel_messages.html' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.visionsofheaven.com/angel_messages/2009/10/ask-for-real-help-you-are-not-alone.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (angelann)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23551004.post-5368399529034168215</guid><pubDate>Sat, 03 Oct 2009 19:49:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-10-12T12:50:26.095-07:00</atom:updated><title>Mother earth's tender care</title><description>Allow yourselves to breathe deeply and relax dear ones. There is so much impatience, and so much fear running rampant these days. If you are not impatient and fearful, thank the heavens, but others are, and you have to deal with them. When you must do so, do so with great care for they are in need of love.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you are around others who are all worked up, rather than stepping into their chaotic energy, breathe deeply, remember God is with you, and ask them to slow down and breathe as well. It is ok to say to someone in a soothing and caring voice, "You seem so stressed right now. Breathe, I am listening." This simple show of care often helps another realize that they are not alone, that they are cared for, that someone understands their situation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you are in a fearful or impatient state, slow down, sit still, breathe. So many of you feel so alone, and yet God gave you everything on this earth that you need to comfort you, to reassure you, and to relax you. Sit on the ground, and feel the nurturing presence of mother earth herself. She gives you life. She feeds you. She sustains the oxygen you breathe. Sit quietly upon the earth and imagine you can connect with her. Say to her in your heart, "Mother earth, it is me, one of your children. I am scared. I am stressed. I am impatient. I need a hug right now." And then shut your eyes and allow her energy to reach up around you, blanket you, and comfort you. Earth has a living consciousness that is aware of each and every one of you, much as your body is aware of each and every cell that comprises its totality. She appreciates your care and concern. She celebrates your desires to be 'greener' and take better care of her physical presence, but like a good mother, she wishes to GIVE to you, to comfort you, and to love you. And all she asks in return is that you receive with gratitude and treat her other children with respect.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sit quietly upon your earth. Feel her love and comfort. It is this grounding that you are seeking now as the energies of your planet continue to amplify. Earth will absorb your pain and, with simply a little gratitude on your part, she will transmute it to love. When you are upset turn your palms to the ground and breathe, and with each exhale release the energy into the earth. Cry in your mother's arms when you are sad. Give her your concerns. And do not forget to thank her for all she does, for mother earth has allowed humanity for centuries to take her for granted, to fight upon her, to violate one another and her very body. All she wants, like any mother, is for her children to receive her love, and to get along better with one another.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Receive dear ones. You are all in need of comfort, grounding, and feeling supported right now. The earth under your feet is always willing to share this with you. She wants you to see her beauty which reflects your own. She wants you to taste her bounty. She wants you to know the abundance of God's love as it is given to you through the richness of her creation. This is according to God's grand design. You are never without love from the heavens, and you are always able to tap into God's great love through the love of his creation - your dear Mother Earth.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23551004-5368399529034168215?l=www.visionsofheaven.com%2Fangel_messages%2Fangel_messages.html' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.visionsofheaven.com/angel_messages/2009/10/mother-earths-tender-care.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (angelann)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23551004.post-5750949341596729834</guid><pubDate>Fri, 25 Sep 2009 19:48:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-10-12T12:49:12.700-07:00</atom:updated><title>Release yourself from worry</title><description>So many of you have been taught that to worry is to care, to obsess over things is to be 'responsible,' to save and fix others is a display of compassion, and yet, there are higher ways to care, more truthful ways to be responsible, and ultimately more loving ways to show compassion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you worry, you are simply spinning your wheels and projecting negative energy out into the universe. You are focusing upon what you do not want to happen and therefore sending out a magnetic, although thankfully weak, signal to attract it. Your positive thoughts carry so much greater sway in your life. So instead of worrying, when you catch yourself worrying, stop, breathe, and take time to think -what is is I DO want to see happening in my future? You worry about not being able to pay the bills, for examples. Many of you waste so much of your precious life in this frame of mind, and yet how much more productive it is to simply do what you know to do and say a quick prayer, "Dear God who takes care of all things, the birds in the sky, the grasses, the flowers, indeed the entire universe, you know I have a bill to pay here and I am not sure how I am going to do it. Please guide me, provide me with resources, and allow me to learn any lessons I need to learn with grace and ease. Thank you. Amen." Then, dear ones go about your day giving thanks for the abundance you have and replacing every worrisome thought with a feeling of peace. Imagine that peace if you must, but rather that than imagining dismal circumstances.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Suppose you worry about a child of yours. Instead of worry focus on seeing them happy, purposeful, feeling loved. When you look at them, look at them as if there is success inside of them and speak this way. In this fashion you contribute towards their confidence and well being rather than their lack of self esteem. We are not suggesting you put up with or enable bad behaviors. You can indeed put your foot down there, but do so with love, and with a suggestion that you see more in them than what they are currently displaying.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you obsess and worry about whether or not you are doing everything in your power to make a goal happen, well dear ones, you aren't giving God, your loving creator enough credit. Rather than anxiously spinning your wheels, sit, breathe, pray... "Dear God, I have done everything I know to do to achieve this goal. Let me know what is next when you feel it is right timing. Thank you." Then go about your day, enjoy your life and wait for further guidance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you have an urge to save or fix someone, go within, pray. "Dear God, I want to help my friend/family member/etc. I want to help them out of their unpleasant circumstance. Guide me and let me know how I may truly be of service. If you want me to share resources with them, make my cup full enough to do so and let me do it with a glad heart. If you want me to share time with them, give me the time and make it enjoyable for both of us. If you want me to share advice, guide the words I speak. And if you want me to withdraw and allow them to learn, then please make it obvious to me that no other assistance is asked of me." Then dear ones, check in with your heart and see what feels uplifting, pleasant, and enjoyable to do. When you give from love you give according to God's dictates.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you release yourself from worries, from false obligations, from obsessing, you allow God to work in your life. You allow God to guide you with grace and ease. You allow your life to move according in coordination with the entire universe. You stop acting independently and become part of a bigger picture - one in which you and your needs count, and one in which you are loved, cared for, and guided.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23551004-5750949341596729834?l=www.visionsofheaven.com%2Fangel_messages%2Fangel_messages.html' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.visionsofheaven.com/angel_messages/2009/09/release-yourself-from-worry.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (angelann)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23551004.post-1452032163018662907</guid><pubDate>Sat, 19 Sep 2009 19:47:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-10-12T12:48:18.550-07:00</atom:updated><title>Love and tolerance</title><description>While you are upon this earth we ask you to practice love and tolerance for beliefs different than your own. By all means, stand in your own sacred center and only allow those behaviors that are right for you into your own life, but please refrain from judging others. Each person upon this earth, no matter, how hateful or how loving is on a quest for love... whether they are aware of it consciously, or completely ignorant of the fact.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you disagree with someone, that is fine. You were not all meant to agree with one another. Think how boring your earth would be if there were only one kind of tree, only one kind of flower, only one scent, and only a limited range of sound. It is the very differences, the exquisite variety, that makes your planet, and indeed your human race unlike any other.  You were never meant to be alike, worship alike, dress alike, look alike, or think alike. You were instead meant to form a beautiful kaleidoscope of of being-ness that in total is created in God's image and likeness.  Even the dark serves a purpose to define the light. You could not easily see a candle flame in the light of the sun, could you? But you can make it out quite clearly in a darkened room.  And so even the souls whose behaviors are sadly dark serve a purpose for they help you see, by contrast, your light, your goodness, and your love.  Bless them for this role, set clear boundaries, or let them be and move away from them.  Refrain from judgment dear ones, for each soul is truly doing the best they can in the moment - certainly not the best they are truly capable of in potential, but the best they can in each moment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By avoiding judgment you free yourselves up. Rather than having to spend copious amounts of time and energy in defense of your perspective, or teaching another, you simply own what is true for you, express it if need be, and release whether or not the other changes, understands, or even likes what you say. You then, in response, can make healthy choices, because you have communicated and received a response. You now know where you stand. You now know where the other person stands. You can make a new choice. You can express your heart even more. You are creating real movement by embracing this level of honesty and non-detachment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By contrast, arm-twisting, manipulation, coercion, or any attempt to 'make' another soul grow or change is a waste of your precious, loving, time and energy.  Offer your gifts of wisdom but if the other does not wish to hear them or make use of the, let it be.  They will grow in their own time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You are all here for the very same reason dear friends - to learn that you are indeed children of God, born of His love, breathing by His will, and striving to clear yourselves of the illusions that you are anything less. Some of you are more conscious of this than others. Do not judge the unconscious ones for they are most in need of your prayers, and your love.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love does not dictate that you must remain around or give in to these hurting souls, but rather love asks that you be as  compassionate and kind as possible - no matter what your choices.  You can love and set firm boundaries. You can love and walk away. You can love and ask permission to share your point of view. Love acknowledges the soul within and chooses wisely which behaviors you will support and which you will choose to withdraw from.  Love walks hand in hand with truth, clarity, wisdom, and discernment. If you need help finding the healthy way to love an unhealthy person - be it talking with them or walking away from them, pray for help - these prayers are held in high esteem and always answered in their proper time.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23551004-1452032163018662907?l=www.visionsofheaven.com%2Fangel_messages%2Fangel_messages.html' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.visionsofheaven.com/angel_messages/2009/09/love-and-tolerance.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (angelann)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23551004.post-6764258080159441988</guid><pubDate>Sat, 12 Sep 2009 19:47:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-10-12T12:47:29.641-07:00</atom:updated><title>All movement is towards love</title><description>Dear ones, remember all movements are movements towards love. Even the souls on this earth who seem most difficult in your lives are trying to express themselves, trying to find validity in their own beliefs and in their own existence, and trying to be of value. It is the ones who feel that their beliefs are not valid, and who feel that there is no value in their existence who create the greatest chaos in your world. These souls are most in need of your love.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Giving love to a difficult soul does not mean you have to spend time around them, agree with them, or even subscribe to their behaviors. Nor does it mean you have to educate or correct them. Loving a soul simply means that you recognize that the light of God exists in their heart as well and that there is value to them as a person whether or not they are choosing to express a loving truth. Loving a soul means recognizing that everyone, without exception, is here to discover the light of God within them, and everyone has purpose. Everyone deserves your love and your prayers, whether you agree with them or not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, you must choose to love yourself first if you are going to be truly able to give this spiritual love to another soul. You must be able to speak your truth with the understanding that your perspective is valid and real to you - we are not speaking about telling other souls how they should behave, but rather expressing your own perspectives and feelings here. You have a right to feel how you feel. You have a right to be the loving soul that you truly are. You have a right to set firm boundaries and to walk away from unloving and unkind behavior. If you acknowledge your own right to move towards loving and kind behavior and away from that which is not, then you will allow others to be who they choose to be. You will simply withdraw from negative souls, or if you must spend time around them, you will choose to be in a loving space and refuse to take on their negativity. After all - their negativity is their own - it is not yours to solve or fix. You can say to a negative soul, "I can see how you feel that way," without ever agreeing with their perspective. You can acknowledge without agreeing. You can even remain silent. In this fashion, you honor their right to be by maintaining your own.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just as water in a stream moves around the unmoving boulders, you too can move around those who choose not to budge or to be unyielding to your love. You can choose to remain silent when those around you gossip or speak in unkind ways because silence is a powerful message. The rocks along the canyon walls shape the river - so too the unmoving souls help you find your own heart and the movement and growth that you seek in life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is a time on earth of sorting and clarification. You are becoming clear on who you are, and the heavens simply ask that as you do this, you allow others to become clear on who they are. The miserable will seek out company of like mind and the joyous and trusting will seek out their own company as well. Allow others to be who they are. Allow yourself to be who you are. All is a movement towards greater love and a greater discovery of the loving soul inside this person you have chosen to be.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23551004-6764258080159441988?l=www.visionsofheaven.com%2Fangel_messages%2Fangel_messages.html' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.visionsofheaven.com/angel_messages/2009/09/all-movement-is-towards-love.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (angelann)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23551004.post-3377630650379447043</guid><pubDate>Sat, 05 Sep 2009 19:46:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-10-12T12:46:49.702-07:00</atom:updated><title>Choices and perceptions</title><description>Life, dear ones, is just being life. Others are simply being the best they can be in any given moment. It is the way you choose to look at life, and the way you choose to move through it will determine the quality of your experience. You choices determine who you will be around and your perceptions determine how you will interpret their behaviors. In these final days of summer you are taking stock of the harvest of your previous choices and perceptions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One person can look at a cloudy day, sigh and choose to be miserable, while another is overjoyed. One person can look at a challenge as an opportunity to learn, while another feels victimized. One person can see a grumpy co-worker as an adversary, while another simply sees a soul in need of love.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You DO create your own destiny through your choices and perceptions, but we need to clear up a metaphysical myth here - you do not create the actions of life and others around you. It is your choices that determine who will be in your path, and your perceptions that guide you to see cause and effect, and to learn and grow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you are in a situation you do not like, choose not to beat yourself up. Do not blame yourself or blame others because blame is wasted energy. Blame robs you of energy that you can be using to change your life. Blame blinds you to better choices, makes it hard to hear your own guidance, and robs you of opportunity. Blame dear ones, is a distraction from real growth. Instead, bless the mess, stop, breathe and ask yourself, "What is it I want for me next?" Then admit this to yourselves, ask God for help, and begin to act and think consistent with this new intention. You will receive guidance in perfect timing to assist you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"But I can't change my co-workers," you say. That is true. However you can change your reaction to them. Instead of feeling insecure or grumbling when you see them coming, you can greet them with a cheery hello. They will either respond differently or avoid you (both good options!). You can choose to keep your conversations with them short, polite, and professional, thus setting healthy energetic boundaries. You can choose to bring them a cookie to share because their inner child is sadly in need of love. All these choices, dear ones, are changes you make inside of yourself first. They may or may not change the other, but they will make you feel better. And they will send a signal out to the universe that says, "I am a loving person with a healthy respect for myself and others." This signal will draw unto you more kind souls in the future.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"But I don't know where to find more money," you say. That may be true. However you can focus on gratitude first. You can look at hobbies and interests and see where you can exchange your talents or use them to create income on the side. So many of you stop yourselves before you even try. So what if there are thousands of cookies generated in factories every year. Maybe your co-workers would prefer to buy your homemade ones for a $1 each. So what if there are a million energy workers. Maybe your circle of friends doesn't know any they can trust, and doesn't know you do this. Your talents, when hidden, do not serve you or the world. Change yourself, be willing to share what you love and do for the joy of it, and receive in return. Thus you begin to turn your finances around. If you are unwilling to make small choices on your own behalf, the universe cannot take your intentions seriously. If you make even the smallest effort, with joy, then the universe says, "Ah, this soul cares about themselves and the things that give them joy - let me help!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dear ones, use your power of choice to choose things that make your heart sing, or at least fulfill your intentions. Use your powers of perception to look for the good, to see love, and at times to even acknowledge the darkness so you can move away from it. See what is truly there, and then focus elsewhere if all you can see is darkness. We are not asking you to sugar coat your perceptions, but rather to turn away from what does not work and to choose to focus on what does. Little by little you will steer yourselves into a much happier and more joyful life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And if you already have made choices consistent with your hearts; if you are already focusing your sights toward the light, do so unabashedly and be a beacon unto others! You are the inspiration and living in the truth!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23551004-3377630650379447043?l=www.visionsofheaven.com%2Fangel_messages%2Fangel_messages.html' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.visionsofheaven.com/angel_messages/2009/09/choices-and-perceptions.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (angelann)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23551004.post-4504859603412857147</guid><pubDate>Sun, 23 Aug 2009 03:16:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-08-24T20:16:35.415-07:00</atom:updated><title>Be easy on yourself!</title><description>Everything is in motion once again and so many of you who have been waiting for life to change will be encouraged over the next few months as new ideas and inspirations come your way.  Even your mother earth is going through huge changes.  Be gentle with yourselves!  Old feelings that get in the way of you trusting God and having what you want in life are coming to the surface. You are the ones who are aware of these changes, and know to just sit, breathe, and be with whatever comes up.  Send these fears and feelings of yours great love for they are parts of you in need of healing and transformation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are so many on your planet who do not understand the effects of this intense energy.  They may seem to be irrational or unreasonable. They may seem to take out their emotions on others.  Forgive them dear ones, talk to them or get out of their way if need be, but try not to get drawn into their upset, their sadness, their fears.  The time to suffer with the suffering is over.  Misery loves company but you need not choose to be that company.  You can instead, stand on higher ground, in higher truth and offer love and wisdom, and a hand outstretched when they are ready to truly receive the assistance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you are one of the joyous ones, it is not callous to refuse to empath with or step into the suffering of others. Offer them love from this space of joy.  Inspire them.  Give them the deep and lasting spiritual tools to help them up.  And if they do not want real solutions, but rather superficial ones, lovingly refuse to enable them. You will know in your heart of hearts if you are truly following God's dictates to give and share or if you are doing something out of a false sense of responsibility.  Gifts given as dictated by God are given with joy and a feeling of having abundance to share.  Gifts given out of your own ego's feelings of "should" and "need to please" often feel like a burden or feel as if they create lack in your own life.   In God's world there is enough love, enough money, enough joy for all.  God does not ask you to sacrifice your own well being for another. God asks you to give out of the fullness of your being.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you are facing challenges, or are depressed and feeling miserable yourself, be easy on yourself - you are truly seeking solutions - you are reading our letter here, receiving our love in the form of words and advice, and you can sit, breathe, and ask God and your angels to come inside your heart and to help you find the truth of your being - that you are worthy of love, worthy of change, worthy of assistance.  We will help you reveal those hidden parts of your soul that do not believe this and get in the way and we will help you heal them so you can move forward into greater abundance and joy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dear ones, we love you.  God loves you.  God does not ask you to suffer.  No matter what challenges you face, you can choose to embrace them with trust, love, and faith that there is a reason.  If God gives you a task or a challenge, it is done out of great love with the goal being to help you uncover what stops you from truly feeling the truth of your being, and to guide you into what truly honors that light.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is not a time on earth for superficial fixes to life's challenges. It is not a time on earth to escape true growth. It is, instead,  a grand and glorious time - a time of opportunity, growth, and greater ability to exist in the truth of God's love. Ask us for help and give us permission to work with you. We are always with you.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23551004-4504859603412857147?l=www.visionsofheaven.com%2Fangel_messages%2Fangel_messages.html' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.visionsofheaven.com/angel_messages/2009/08/be-easy-on-yourself.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (angelann)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23551004.post-2512795291931032570</guid><pubDate>Sun, 16 Aug 2009 03:15:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-08-24T20:15:42.018-07:00</atom:updated><title>Time for change</title><description>Understand it is a time of great movement and change once again on your planet, but as many of you are learning, this movement must occur from the depths of your spirit before it can take place in the outer world. If you are feeling stuck or without direction, go within yourself and ask yourself, "Who inside of me needs to be healed in order for me to create movement?" Dig deep inside of yourself, ask the question and wait until a part inside of you that can help you create change is revealed. Then negotiate with this part as if you are working out a deal with another person.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some of you will find that you fear change. Comfort the child within and reassure him or her that you are intending only positive, graceful, and joyful life changes. Reassure this fearful part of your soul that you are adult now and can respond to life in a healthy manner. Imagine you can send the fearful part of your soul into the light to enjoy all the comforts and love he or she deserves&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Suppose you find a part of you that does not trust God and what He wants for your life. Comfort this part. Let it know that its notions of God are not true - that God is a loving God who wants the best for you and wants to create joyful surprises in your life. Let this part know that past pains were attracted to you as lessons but now you choose to grow through joy&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Suppose you find a part of your soul that hasn't admitted what it truly wants. You think you want more work or more money but a part of you wants rest, travel, or love. Admit this to yourself and God and create the movement in your own heart first.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mother earth is teaching you now about movement. She is quaking, moving deep within her depths and bringing change to the surface. So too, you are all being asked to dive deep within your own hearts, do the soul searching, ask what it is you want to create in your life, admit it to yourselves and God, and then to wait for the movement in the outer world that is sure to follow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your spirits, dear friends, direct the course of your lives. They are slowed or stopped only by the pieces within that live in fear or impatience, and do not trust God, or the pieces within you that remain unhealed and do not know they are deserving of this love. Start creating your lives from the inside out and watch them transform as if by magic.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23551004-2512795291931032570?l=www.visionsofheaven.com%2Fangel_messages%2Fangel_messages.html' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.visionsofheaven.com/angel_messages/2009/08/time-for-change.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (angelann)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23551004.post-6433802079098611228</guid><pubDate>Sun, 09 Aug 2009 03:14:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-08-24T20:15:00.478-07:00</atom:updated><title>Be present</title><description>Take a breath, even in your most challenging moments, and remember who you are. No matter what is occurring you are eternal souls. No matter what challenges you face, you are connected to the source of all life, and all abundance. No matter what pains you feel, these are simply areas where you don't remember God's love. No matter what dear ones, you will end up in the loving arms of your creator once you learn to accept this truth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are times when it seems life is unbearably challenging. There are times when life is overwhelming. There are time when you are not sure how you will handle all the things you must accomplish. Dear ones, when you find yourself in one of these moments, breathe, relax, talk to God and invite Him into even the most difficult spaces in your lives. Then ask yourself, what must I deal with right now, in this moment. Being present, you are more effective, more attuned to guidance, more able to deal with the task at hand.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are times when your life is unbelievably beautiful and joyful. There are times when you don't know how you have managed to create such bliss. These are the times to sit, breathe, and thank God for the blessings. Invite God to continue giving His gifts to you, and don't let your mind wander out to the future and wonder how long or if the joy will last. Accept it, receive it, breathe it in. Be one with it now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Living in the present is the only way you can ever truly 'deal with' or 'enjoy' life. Allowing your mind to wander to the past, except to harvest its lessons, is a waste of time. Allowing your mind to wander to the future, except to intend the next creation, is also a way of distracting yourself from the moment. Whether you are in challenge or in joy, the moment you have now is the one to embrace. You will more quickly deal with your challenges, and more deeply enjoy your joys.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Be present. That is where the present of God's love is found most fully.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23551004-6433802079098611228?l=www.visionsofheaven.com%2Fangel_messages%2Fangel_messages.html' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.visionsofheaven.com/angel_messages/2009/08/be-present.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (angelann)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23551004.post-7820072304185644808</guid><pubDate>Sun, 02 Aug 2009 03:14:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-08-24T20:14:13.625-07:00</atom:updated><title>You are in the right place</title><description>Trust God dear ones. You are always in the right place at the right time.  Rather than stressing out trying to control life around you, allow yourselves to flow through it. And by all means ask us for help. If you are having a difficult day, stop, breathe, and ask yourself, "What is it I want to create right now?" Maybe you need peace, faith, trust, or just a comforting hug from  your angels. Stop and breathe and ask for this in the first moment you can. One moment of changing your mind - one moment of remembering your awesome power to create in this vibrational universe - can shift the course of your day, and indeed even the course of your lives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you are having a wonderful time, rather than fretting about whether or not it will last, or whether or not it is 'ok' to have life going so well, accept it and give thanks and praise. Tell yourself this is your 'new normal' - the way you would like your life to be. And if you hit a hitch, don't assume all is falling apart.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Life is just being life. You can flow through it ever so much more smoothly if you assume you are loved, cared for, and supported by God and your angels.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dear ones, allow yourselves to flow through life, one moment at a time, guided by your heart of hearts. In this fashion God's love is allowed to flow to you, through you, and from  you out towards life. The echo back will be amazing if you choose to perceive yourself through the eyes of love.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23551004-7820072304185644808?l=www.visionsofheaven.com%2Fangel_messages%2Fangel_messages.html' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.visionsofheaven.com/angel_messages/2009/08/you-are-in-right-place.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (angelann)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23551004.post-176679182938900393</guid><pubDate>Sun, 26 Jul 2009 03:13:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-08-24T20:13:23.525-07:00</atom:updated><title>Be kind to your bodies</title><description>Treat your bodies well dear ones, for they are the vehicles, the classroom, and the manifestation of your spirit in human form. So many of you take better care of your cars, your houses, or your possessions than your own body. Your body, luckily is very forgiving. Your body does not require 'special' diets, products, or treatments, other than what it dictates. If you begin to develop a relationship with your body, it will tell you what it requires for its greatest health and well being.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To try to reshape and control the body is fine, but do so with love, gentleness, and a willingness to listen to the body's desires as well. If you want to lose weight, don't criticize the body. Instead become quiet in your mind and heart and see what 'weight' your soul is carrying first. Are you taking on the weight of the world? Are you bearing a burden of unforgiveness, or sadness. Handle the emotional and spiritual weights first, then thank your body for bringing this to your attention and ask it to guide you in releasing what it is you want to release. You may just be surprised that when you treat your body as your best friend, it begins to respond in kind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To heal your body go within and ask it what it is trying to teach you. Your body is not your adversary. It will suffer all manner of ills to help you learn a lesson. And while it is true that genetics, environmental factors, and substances here upon your planet earth, in a physical sense can certainly contribute to and trigger illness, there are also and always spiritual factors to take into account. Why is it one person gets sick in the office while another remains well? You can blame the genetics or the immune system, and while that is true on one level you can also see that maybe this person never rests unless they are sick, or maybe they were raised to believe they are prone to illness. Maybe they get positive attention at home when ill. Maybe it is the only time a giving soul allows themselves to receive. There are so many reasons one's body can get off balance. Rather than judging or guessing, ask your body to help you understand its messages.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In this fashion you can love an illness to death. You can, along with conventional medical treatments, give gratitude to a cancer for the lessons it is bringing and thereby heal the spiritual component of the illness. When your tummy aches, you can ask what you have trouble stomaching in the rest of your life. If your feet hurt, are there fears of standing tall, or putting your foot down. These are simply excamples dear friends - we would rather that you talk to your own bodies to learn from their wisdom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are some people upon the planet earth who are not meant to physically heal from their ills. Their soul set up lessons to be learned and lessons to be shared with others via these conditions. And yet by surrendering to the condition, these souls often become very powerful teachers for others - they teach love, compassion, gratitude, acceptance, and are often angels of grace. It is so very important never to judge oneself or another, but rather only to understand the relationship between your body and your soul.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Above all, dear friends, stop criticizing yourselves. You are all so very beautiful to us. Whether you are tiny or large, whether your complexion is smooth or mottled, whether you are a star athlete or a crippled person, you are all gorgeous beyond compare. If you could see the souls living in these bodies as we do, you would never ever again judge a book by its cover, and you wouldn't think to critisize the housing for your own beautiful soul. By all means, enjoy your bodies dear friends, treat them well, develop a friendship with them, and listen to their wisdom.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23551004-176679182938900393?l=www.visionsofheaven.com%2Fangel_messages%2Fangel_messages.html' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.visionsofheaven.com/angel_messages/2009/07/be-kind-to-your-bodies.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (angelann)</author></item></channel></rss>
