Hi Everyone,
The angel message today reminds me of a time over a decade ago. A dear friend had just returned home from a visit to China, right amidst the SARS outbreak that was in full force over there. I hadn’t been watching the news. I was on a break and decided to ask him over for dinner to welcome him back after several months of travel. “Aren’t you afraid to have me over,” he asked? “My family has me in quarantine at a hotel!” “Should I be?” I replied humorously? I didn’t feel a shred of fear or concern anywhere in my body or mind. “I feel healthy,” but I can’t prove it,” he said. I checked in with my own feelings again. There was nothing but a good, safe, happy feeling. I invited him over. We enjoyed catching up, and true to our mutual guidance, all was well.
The broadcast of the Divine within me has become something I rely on to give me “my news” even more than the outside world. When I need to know something “out there” inevitably someone tells me. I don’t worry about being “in the know.” I will know what I need to know when I need to know it. I’m a cell in the body of the Divine as we all are. The urges and instinctual feelings from Spirit are my compass. They have never, ever steered me wrong, when I listen.
“You can’t make a living as an intuitive!” I was told 25 years go. My guidance said otherwise. My feelings were steering me to do this work. I trusted God. I’ve been fine even though at times my faith waned and I worried about money. Now I know the truth of flow.
“You don’t have enough experience to publish a book,” I was told. Maybe not with a big publishing house at the time, but mercifully I learned some things from famous authors along the way, and decided that for my desired lifestyle, self-publishing was the way I wanted to go.
“You should be afraid of this virus,” the news screams at me if I watch the statistics. Not in my reality! I love the Creator of Universes and focus on the light within everything and everyone and in so doing, there is nothing to fear. My guidance tells me what to do and when. As the angels like to say, we can be “prudent but not paranoid.” Prudent to their way of thinking means listening to your inner guidance.
This story is close to home for me. My mom who has plenty of conditions that “should” have had her holed up at home during quarantine, has been running around during the entire pandemic. She loves to go grocery shopping often and cook fresh meals, so two to three times a week she was masked up, hand sanitizer on hand, enjoying a stroll through the grocery store. Neither of us was worried. We called upon the angels and asked them to give her clear guidance to keep her safe, and we both had faith in their guidance. Just once her keys fell in a crack in the car when she was about to go into the store. After struggling several minutes to retrieve them she got the feeling that she was receiving a message not to go into the store. “OK Angels, If I’m not supposed to go in there help the keys come out easily right now and I’ll go home.” The keys loosened up immediately and she drove back home. Guidance prevailed.
Years ago before banking apps allowed home deposits, I would go to the ATM to make my deposits every Friday. One Friday, nothing in me felt like going. I procrastinated. I resisted. Finally, it dawned on me. This was not a good time go. All my feelings were pointing to that. So I put it off till the next day. I learned later, that there had been an attempted robbery at the ATM the night before.
So, while it is interesting, educational, and often fun to listen to other people’s perspectives, ideas, and opinions – and that’s one of the coolest things about earth’s big buffet of energies – when it comes to making decisions, I trust what I feel within, for myself. I honor the fact that others should trust what they feel within, for themselves.
So if you can, listen a little less to what everyone else thinks you should do and listen more to what the Divine within is guiding you to do, moment by moment. Enjoy the worlds’ ideas and perspectives, but when it comes to choices, make them your own. Listen to your own feelings and instincts.
In that reality, you are guided, uniquely along the path you, yourself, have created with your intentions, desires, and dreams.
Here are a few pointers on how to mind your own mind, and own your own choices:
1. Practice getting in touch with your real feelings
Stop throughout the day and think of a choice in front of you. Ask yourself, “How do I feel about this?” Be careful not to answer with what you “think you should feel” which would be an automatically programmed response. Instead, breathe deeply into the solar plexus. Pay attention to your gut. How does your body feel when you think of the choice?” How do you feel?
Practice with simple choices that don’t matter so much. Do you want mustard on your sandwich? How do you feel about it? Do you want coffee when you first wake up? How do you feel? Do you want to call someone at this moment? How do you feel?
If it helps you clarify you can take a sheet of paper and write two columns. One is “What do I think about this?” and the other is “How do I feel?” It will be much easier for most to write what you think. The important one is, “How do you feel?” This is your guidance.
2. To Get Guidance, Breathe your way in a High Vibe
If you’re in a cranky, scared state of mind, the guidance you receive via your feelings will be a bit watered-down and filtered through your not-so-coherent energy. To create a coherent field use the breathing method that the angels and Hearthmath Institute (who studies this scientifically) have recommended for years. Think of anything or anyone you love and imagine breathing into the heart till you feel your mind and body calm. If you practice this often, you can get to calm fast.
Once calm and peaceful, then ask yourself, “How do I feel about this choice?” Your guidance will be so much clearer!
3. Wait for inspiration
If your feelings on a subject go back and forth that means your thoughts are going back and forth. Or perhaps you don’t know how to make something happen. Wait for inspiration in this case. Imagine and feel the desired outcome, then distract yourself. Do something you like. Listen to music you like. Do anything that makes you feel better. When your thoughts are in alignment with what you want, you’ll get good guidance. When your thoughts are running contrary to what you want, you will likely get fear-based, or reactionary feelings. It is OK to distract yourself and feel good about something else. Then you’ll naturally have a moment when clarity arrives on the topic you wondered about.
Guidance can be honed until you hear voices in your head, get visions, etc. However, the clearest and easiest guidance for yourself throughout the day is to pay attention to your feelings especially, when you’re in a higher vibe. When you’re not in a higher vibe, make it a priority to get there, and then, once again, your natural instinctive guidance will appear easily. In the words of Obi Wan Kanobi from spirit, in the original Star Wars movie, “Luke, Trust Your Feelings.”
Love you all!
