Heart Meditation

The heart work you just did was very good and very powerful, which is why you got so emotional. The sincere compassion you feel fills you strongly and elicits this emotional response. You are a very sensitive soul, one who holds the vibration of compassion, which is why the state of the earth is difficult for you to internalize or focus on. In reality, it is better not to focus on the negative, but to keep doing exercises like the one you did today. Every time you replace a negative thought, be it one of fear, criticism, judgement or doubt with a positive one, you are increasing your light and adding to the light of the world. Continue being kind to yourself and others and have faith that you are on the right path.
Namaste,
Siddhartha Guatama

Letting Go of Perfection

As I sat and meditated the other day I asked my higher self what it wanted me to know. Immediately I began thinking of the need to let go of wanting perfection. I thought about the many times a day that my mind had a thought about perfecting something or wanting to be better. It could be wishing I was better at writing and grammar or daydreaming about the perfect house or wishing I had a perfect body or a better one at least--many things big and small. And, it occurred to me that each time I did this, I was robbing myself of joy, the joy of being happy with who you are and where you are in your life. We so often hear about joy coming out of living in the now, being present and as I had this conversation in my mind I realized that it is true. This letting go of wanting something different or something better I thought, is a big part of what it means to live in the now. So each day I try to catch myself when I have these thoughts and bring myself to the present moment and give thanks and gratitude. It doesn't mean I don't have dreams and goals because I still do. I still think about someday living in the "perfect" house and I still want to lose some weight not only to look better and be more comfortable (physically), but to be healthier. The difference is I no longer do it at the expense of being ok and happy right now! I simply do the best I can and feel good about that.

In-Sights from Uriel Heals

Balance and Movement

The Universal laws are always in motion and are always responding to us. It may appear that nothing is happening because we don't see the results we want in an appropriate timeframe. But that doesn't mean that there is no activity. The Universal laws require us to be in a state of energetic balance meaning that our energy must be in alignment with what we are manifesting. And it waits for us to do our work, bringing ourselves into balance, before we see movement.

The Universe always sees the bigger picture and is aware of every option and every opportunity that is possible for us. Because Universal laws govern the movement of energy they respond to our level of energetic vibration which may nor may not be in alignment with what we are trying to manifest. When it is in alignment, manifestation occurs easily. When it is not, manifestation is challenging and we may not get anything or far less than what we anticipated. The lack of movement is an indication that something is out of balance and we will be shown what needs to be transformed to move the energy in the direction of what we want. When we are out of balance Universal law seems to magnify these areas so we know exactly what they are.

Asking out of fear, need, desperation or powerlessness increases the imbalance. How do we know where this happens? Any time joy, peace, abundance and unconditional love are not flowing in our lives we are out of balance and we feel stuck. Any area in which we are unhappy, dissatisfied or bored means we are out of alignment with our soul purpose and a gentle reminder that we are ready for new adventures. Any hesitation we have is an indication of our fears. Can we address them so the energy can begin to move? The Universe is very patient and it will wait until we are ready to bring ourselves into balance and raise our energetic vibrations to a level that is in alignment with what we want to manifest, then the energy starts to move.

It is helpful to remember that the Universe always responds to us. It does not initiate anything and responds directly to our energy and level of alignment. We can always tell where we are energetically and how close to or far we are from manifesting the reality we desire by how the energy is moving in our lives. When we are ready to be completely fearless, trusting and faithful, our energy is balanced and the Universe rushes in to bring us what we desire. When we are willing to surrender our fears, attachments, regrets and sorrows, the Universe will reward us by giving us more than we have asked for and the flow of energy in our lives will make continuous and effortless manifestation a reality for us.

Reiki Practice

Well the day has finally arrived and I am beginning my Distant Healing for Animals Reiki practice. I am very excited and honored to be of service to our sweet, loving companion animals and those who care for them. Please visit my website at: http://www.HealingHandsWithHeart.com

Many Blessings to you ALL!

Being ok with where you are right now!

One of my life lessons seems to be learning to not compare myself and my experiences to those of others. I often find myself feeling lesser when I engage in this behavior and so this excerpt was a reminder to me that we each walk our own unique path and it's ok to be right where we are right now.

Who Can Say You're Enlightened? from Uriel Heals Newsletter

---

This past week I attended a seminar at which the leader made statements that were judgmental of everyone's level of enlightenment or their ability to attain it in their lifetime. He said that enlightenment was available only by working with a teacher and that the teacher bestowed enlightenment when the student was ready. When he began criticizing 'psychics who channel or work with Archangels' (yes, he really said that) it became personal and I felt like I was on trial. And after voicing my objections to his comments I left the seminar. But it gave me food for thought-who says we are enlightened and when do we know we are?

As we are called to walk our spiritual path many of us struggle with past life memories of being judged, ridiculed, condemned and even killed for our beliefs and teachings. While we are often not consciously aware of these experiences, they are part of our cellular memory and are something we must overcome before we can step into our roles as teachers and healers. Because enlightenment is part of this process, we can even struggle with being enlightened because we know that once we achieve it the next step is to move into sharing our learning with others.

We have many teachers on our path and each one brings us to enlightenment. Every experience we have participates in the enlightenment process. It is not a final destination-there is no 'one' form of enlightenment. Rather, it is something that we achieve according to our soul contract and level of spiritual evolution that we can achieve. This is an agreement between each of us and the Source. No one has the power to tell us whether we are enlightened or not. That is being in judgment and anyone who attempts to do that is not in a state of unconditional love.

We don't have to defend our beliefs or spiritual growth to anyone. And anyone who challenges that is another teacher for us. Do we truly connect with our beliefs and can we support them through our words and actions? Do we need someone to validate or justify our enlightenment or can we do that for ourselves? We know we are enlightened when we feel the peace and understanding that comes with it. And as we complete one phase of that process we are prepared for the next one. But no one has the authority to tell us we are not there. And if they do it is merely a reflection on their own level of enlightenment. When we are, we will know and we will have the peace, joy and understanding that is the gift of enlightenment.

Reiki Master Class

On January 27th, 2008 I attended my Reiki Master class. It was wonderful and I feel more empowered than I have ever felt before. The energy and vibration that Reiki holds is truly amazing. It is gentle, yet strong and I love that it is available anywhere anytime. To me one of the beautiful special things about Reiki is that it can be done in person, at a distance, on a plane, train ,boat or sitting peacefully in your home. And, Reiki is an "intelligent" energy going where it needs to go and it can never do harm. It is truly a gift and I feel so blessed and grateful that Reiki found me.

Day 21 Channeled Reading

The animal events that surround your Reiki classes serve as an opportunity for you to not only help your animals, but yourself as well. It is an opportunity for you to use your healing gifts for the benefit of all concerned. It is ok to feel the emotions you are feeling and safe to let them come out. The group of women you will be with truly empathize with you and care about what you are experiencing. They will also offer healing. It can be a struggle to understand where the line between wanting to heal is as opposed to wanting to cure a specific problem. Healing is based on love and support and the intention to have the highest good be served. Again we commend you for holding the space of love and your intent to allow others to choose their path. This is a sign of respect for others and their own creative powers.

The Master Reiki attunement will open you up to greater awareness and bring added confidence. Know that you are a healer. Every being, as sparks of the divine creator, has this capacity, but not everyone accepts this role. You have been a great healer in many lifetimes. It does not matter that you have been told this by others. Do not doubt that this is what we are communicating to you today. Remember the Archangel Raziel oracle card about repetition--this keeps coming up because it is true. Others sense or know of your abilities, now is the time for you to accept and awaken to them yourself. When you do miraculous things will happen.

Day 20 Channeled Reading

We know that you are upset and deeply saddened by the death of Jeff. You are right not to worry about him and his journey, but what is really touching you is those he has left behind and their grief. Death is something humans struggle with because of the perceived unknown. This is true for most no matter what beliefs or wisdom they possess. It is hard for us to watch and know how scary and unsettling death can be for you all. This is one of the times that we see the impact of forgetting who you truly are. We wish it didn't bring you such heartache and fear. Worrying is one of the emotions that deflates joy and causes you to retreat into fear. Living in fear is not in your highest intention, but we understand how hard it is to overcome. Many things and souls are choosing to leave right now. Many emotions, scenarios and ways of being are going through great change. Don't let this interfere with you living fully because that would be a true tragedy. As hard as it is know that all happens as is should and as part of the great shift. We know it is difficult to connect death to a positive event, but that is what is taking place. Souls that are departing are part of the plan that is very much occurring for the highest good of all. They know what they are doing and are privileged to be part of such miraculous times. Again, we know this is hard to accept and understand and we are assisting humanity as much as we are able. We send you love and light.

Day 19 Channeled Reading

We know you wonder what your souls purpose or path is. All we can say is that you will know it when you discover it. The day will come when you feel a great passion and contentment and you will know that you have arrived. Humans have this habit of wanting to arrive at the destination as fast as possible, but we want to remind you to enjoy the journey of life--all of it. There is plenty of time and you will have many years of satisfaction doing your work. There is no need to rush things. The lessons you learn along the way will assist you. Knowledge from previous times will be unlocked and the wisdom you hold will pour out easily. Know too that you are setting things in motion now though you block yourself from seeing or realizing it. Don't be dismayed by this information. It is part of the preparation. We know this is difficult to understand, but you have carefully set this up for yourself. Also, try not to think that only grand endeavors have merit for a soul purpose. Meaning you do not have to be famous or well-known to do great and wonderful and very important work. However, it is not a bad thing if you become those things we just want you to be open to any and all possibilities because there are always choices that can be made which will lead you down one path or another. You will not choose the "wrong" path because there is no such outcome. As we say often: one choice is not better than another just different. Your soul purpose does not translate to a job or an action, but it is embodying your truest highest self and sharing that with the world around you. How you do this is not important, what is desired is that you become your greatest intention for yourself. This is what adds light to the universe. This is what elevates and raises the vibration. You instinctively understand this which is why the Law of One and the Law of Cause and Effect has repeatedly captured your attention and resonated with you. We are reminded of the quote by Ghandi, "You must be the change you want to see in the world."

Day 18 Channeled Reading

There is no such thing as truth per se, at least not how you are accustomed to thinking of it. Truth is subjective and something each individual must determine. We are referring here to your own truth. Honesty is different than truth so being honest can be different than being truthful. Examine the difference and you will gain clarity.

Do not worry that you sometimes don't want to do the channeling. It is a natural reaction to the doubts you still have. We can only tell you to keep having faith and await the results. Be at peace.

P.S. I did feel nervous posting this particular reading. I feel like the meaning of what was coming through is not reflected in the way I wrote the information, but I could not change it.

Day 16 Channeled Reading

We've said this before: You try so hard, but often what happens is that you operate from the ego. Set your intention to relax and allow spirit to come to you and speak to you. Release the formal boundaries you place on things such as meditation and Reiki. It's wonderful that you have such reverence for these practices, but if you place such rigid rules for yourself on how to practice them you end up not doing anything because it detracts from the joy of it. You imagine a Yogi sitting in perfect stillness and focus and that is the standard you impose upon yourself. You do not need to be like a Yogi. Meditation can be as simple as taking a few moments to close your eyes, breath naturally and relax. Even a minute or two has benefits. You can also take a moment and close your eyes and send out gratitude for your day and the things in your life that you love and are thankful for. You do not need to commit to sitting for half and hour or more unless that suits you at the time. Over time you will be able to ascertain what works best for you. Be aware that life is full of changes so what you do now may be different from what you do next week or the week after that. The same applies to Reiki. Just as your teacher said, it can be done anytime even while watching TV. The rules you impose on yourself are just that. The universe has no strict guidelines. Intention and sincerity of thought, feelings and will are magnetic and how energy responds.

Our point then is to focus on your intention and try to let go of how you think things should be done. There is no right or wrong way. Do what feels good and then you will feel the peace and connection you desire. We do not want you to be discouraged. This is not a criticism, merely guidance which we hope will help you. We are overjoyed to help when you call upon us.
--The Legion of Angels

Day 15 Channeled Reading

Things don't always happen like you expect or want, but you know also that it is usually not a negative thing. Every time something happens differently than you thought or hoped, it is an opportunity to learn and grow from the situation. Instead of wondering why things happened the way they did, examine the good that has come from the situation occurring as it did. How many times have you looked back in retrospect and were glad events unfolded the way it did? Try to look at each twist and turn as an adventure in spirit and growth.

When you worry about your actions or inaction remember this: Each path offers lessons, some are of difficulty and some are of ease. Think back on the times when this was true. In all honesty which do you prefer--the ones that were easy and effortless or the ones that challenged you more. When you realize your true nature you can make decisions that best suit you. Sometimes that which is simple is not easy and that which is complicated is not hard. We are certain you can come up with examples of this from your life. Life is meant to be a journey of all sorts of experiences and the easy road sometimes is not the most fun or rewarding.

This relates to the nature of duality. Duality is unique in that one choice is not better than the other, they are merely different and unique experiences. That is why we say there is no right or wrong, good or bad. We realize this concept is difficult to truly grasp, though deep down all of you understand. In the universal eternity we have created and exist in this is evident, but in your current 3D earth life many things seem so wrong and unjust. Remember, however that your life here is a mere blink in the totality of your existence, which is eternal. As humans you tend to see your life as basically all there is. We say basically because the level of evolution of spirit among humans varies greatly and the continuum is very vast. The suffering on earth is very painful in all its forms, but to give an analogy it is like ripping a band aid off a wound--it hurts for a split second, but is nothing in the totality of your human life. Even that is a poor analogy to the eternal existence that God has created. The concept of eternity is something we know your conscious mind cannot currently and fully process and accept. We do not mean at all to trivialize your experiences as human beings. In fact, we love you all very much and with all our hearts feel for the difficulties you endure living in duality. Have faith that this will not always be.

Day 14 Self-Channeled Reading

Those things that you don't want to face and deal with are holding you back in some respects. Honesty is so very important. Stepping into your truth is empowering for you and all involved. We will help you.

Princess is taking on your stress. She is very centered on you and your well-being. Part of her role is a protective one, but not in a physical sense. Try to stay positive and communicate with her about letting go of the stress she has absorbed, so to speak. When you have those moments when you find it difficult to get into a more positive space, have things around you to which you can immediately turn to that you know will cause you to smile or laugh. Laughter is the best way to instantly put you in a space of higher vibration. You can watch a funny Youtube video or think back to a funny memory. Remember the straight face. Picture how funny it was and how it instantly made you laugh. These things are beneficial to you.

Day 13 Self-Channeled Reading

You feel you should have written down what we have told you for the past several minutes, but that was only for you. Tonight we want you to meditate on what we say rather than write it down. That is what we want to tell you right now.

Day 12 Self-Channeled Reading

Take what others say with a grain of salt. Only you know your own truth. There is no right or wrong. Each person must decided what is true for them. Follow your intuition and be guided based on the feelings you have inside.

We like your new mantra. It will serve you well. You can choose to share it or not. The decision is yours, but again there is no right or wrong choice.

As for the Reiki master class whatever you decide will be fine. We know you want to do the one in January to be with the other women, but the other class has benefits as well for you and all involved. Once you make a decision try to be at peace with it. We are always with you and here to help.
--The Legion of Angels

I asked if this was the correct name and the reply was that it is an acceptable translation for now.

Day 11 Self-Channeled Reading

We understand why you are so frustrated with how things work, but this is how you set-up your life as humans. It was necessary in order to experience the things you experience as human beings in the 3rd dimension. We know you have heard this before, but we repeat it because this is the truth and the answer you seek. The secrets and codes you referred to in your last reading are keys to what lies outside the 3rd dimension. You all know the truth, but have chosen to forget to have the experience of living on planet earth right now.

Do not think that we choose to grant wishes, abilities or powers to only a select number of humans. This is not the case. Those with what you call psychic abilities are those who have allowed themselves to believe they possess them and, therefore they in fact permit themselves these abilities. You want to have them, but you must accept that you already do for them to manifest. Ask yourself what the reasons are that you deny yourself this truth. What is preventing you from accepting it? You have many magnificent abilities and you are a powerful healer. You must accept this in order to experience it.

Day 10 Self-Channeled Reading

Your physical symptoms are an indication of some emotional blockages. Therefore, it is not only appropriate to address them for your physical comfort, but also for you emotional and mental well being. Follow your intuition on what you need to do to treat them. We are referring to the alignments, colonic yeast and urinary issues. You will feel much better when you begin to clear yourself of these.

We understand your frustration and reluctance to use the pendulum, which is fine because you do not need it. You can access the information you need intuitively. You are very strong in that area and as you begin to consciously recognize this it will also give you much confidence in many areas. Keep up the good work!

Day 9 Self-Channeled Reading

I did not do a reading for the 9th day. I was in a very negative space, seriously loosing faith in all of this, which led to feelings of anger and resentment. Basically, I begin (and I have gone through this before) to feel like none of this is real. I have this theory that rises with my anger that this is one big cosmic joke on humanity. I fantasize that we (planet earth) are like a comical reality show for the universe. I imagine "aliens" up there laughing at how we'll do anything and how gullible we are. I imagine them watching us do our Reiki, yoga, or other energy work thinking ourselves to be these powerful beings and them rolling on the floor with laughter. I get mad wondering why it all has to be so damn difficult. If we are truly god and powerful co-creators of the universe why do we have to be so ignorant to all the secrets? Why is everything done in codes and matrices that we can't see or understand? Why can't we all communicate with angels, celestial beings and the ascended masters? And I get so angry when it is pointed out that I do get messages, which is true but most of the time I don't know what the hell to do with the information so I think..... what use is it to me. Again, anger at why it can't just be a bit more clear so we might understand a little better what heck is really going on.

Well enough rambling. I thought it might be beneficial to someone who might stumble across my blog to know why I did not do the day 9 self-channeled reading. Onward and upward I hope!
Christine

Day 8 Self-Channeled Reading

You are making great progress--more than you realize. Keep doing the work you are doing because it is attracting what you want. To increase your psychic abilities you many want to incorporate into your practices the expansion exercise from Catherine's book. The one you did before. You will get better at it the more you do it.

It may also be beneficial for you to read the intentions that you wrote for yourself each day. You do not need to turn it into a big project. Put the paper somewhere that you will notice it and just read through it. Don't think you aren't doing enough. You have the daily mantra, these readings and if you add the 2 other things it is more than enough. You don't have to feel bad about not spending more of your free time on anything else right now. If you take on too much it becomes a burden and you set yourself up for feeling like you've failed. Besides, all the love and attention that you give to Jeffery and all the animals everyday is part of your spiritual life. Being spiritual is not measured by how much you meditate, pray, do yoga or any of the other activities one might consider to be spiritual endeavors. Those may be a part of your life, but so are the daily acts of love, caring and nurturing that you do so much of.

Doodle wants you to know you do enough. She reminds you that each being has chosen its life path and you to be part of it because you are what they need. You bring joy and comfort to each of them. She is proud of you and loves you and looks forward to being with you again.

Day 7 Self-Channeled Reading

If you are feeling like you need more structure spend some time setting up perimeters for accomplishing daily tasks. Structure for some may seem restrictive, but for others it is a tool that helps them follow through on goals. Therefore, do not place any negative connotations on the idea of structure or list making or whatever systems you feel will help you. Crossing items off a to do list is very satisfying. Adhering to a routine can be also as long as you are creating routines to do things you want to do free of the should or have to mentality. That is not to say that we all don't have things we need to take care of like paying bills, doing laundry etc....But if you are contemplating creating a meditation practice, but it feels like a chore to follow through--choose something else. There are many ways to accomplish your personal goals, increase your connection to source and grow spiritually. Everyone is different so it is a matter of discovering what works best for you and that it be something that brings you joy.

An option is to make a list of all the possibilities and there are many. Begin with trying the ones that most attract you keeping in mind that no one practice is better than another just different. If what you initially try does not bring you joy and satisfaction then choose again until you find the right fit. What doesn't feel good now may feel good later. You have experienced that several times with Yoga. At some point you may enjoy it or not. There is no right or wrong. It is much gentler on your spirt to let it go and try something new than to berate yourself for what you are not doing or not doing "right". You cannot make a mistake because every step of the way is part of the journey.
