Loving Your Self: Exercise 8.6

Today’s exercise will be good for people interested in becoming healers or people who would like to expand the degree to which they are healers.

Imagine yourself sitting in a large, green circle of light. The circle of light extends to three feet all around you. Within the heart of this green light (also centered in your heart) is a spark of light that is green but just a bit darker so that you can see it. Then you are to imagine that this circle of light raises and extends itself upwards until it forms a tube that embraces your Divine Soul Being/I AM Presence which resides 10 to 12 feet above your physical body. You hear a whirring sound as if this light is being turned on and you notice it harmoniously, spinning very quickly. It is connecting with everything in y our being that is unlike itself (which is a high vibratory, healing energy), whether they are thoughts, perceptions or emotions that have been stuck or physical aches. This light connects with all of these lower vibration things, bonds with them and whirs them completely out of your energetic field leaving behind only green healing light. Continue doing this until you see yourself completely dissolving into the light. Every aspect of your being has been replaced by and has become one with this healing light.

The heart of your I AM Presence shoots down a sunbeam of white light that goes down through the tube of light that you have become, merges with you completely and shoots outwards evenly, everywhere in the cosmos. As this beautiful, divine, healing light force you see and feel that all things are one thing. You sense that if one thing is healing and gives its consciousness to the healing of all then there is healing available for all. While you are feeling so expansive, so loving and so light, you sense some white light coalescing within the field that you are - a star is forming. More and more light gathers to form this star and you feel yourself begin to take weight as you realize that this star is the new you, reborn. You stretched yourself to infinity and then decided to return your consciousness to physical form so that you can be of greater service to others at this particular time on Earth. You are now a fully formed, beautiful, white and gold star that is lowering itself to earth. As you, the star, touch the Earth you take on your present physical form with enhanced radiance.

You seem different to yourself because you are different. As the star that you now are, you radiate this beautiful healing light to all that you encounter. You know that as your light comes into contact with their energy field that they, in turn, are surrounded by tubes of green, healing light that activates a similar reawakening in them. Now they, like you, may also be aware of the beautiful healers that they are.

We love you greatly and will speak to you soon.

Divine Love: Exercise 6.18

Yes Dear Ones,
This exercise will be good for people that feel their heart is not open enough.

The first thing to do is to imagine yourself outside on a clear day in a field near a stream with some mountains nearby. Imagine that a beautiful stream of light shines down on you from above and then see this light circle around you and then finish by going into your heart. Once it's there, it expands slowly and as it expands it merges with all of your cells. It is important to know that this light that is coming from above is coming from your Divine Soul Being or I Am Presence. Then when you see that the light of your heart has expanded to about 20 feet on either side of you, you'll want to imagine a shaft of light emanating from the earth and also flooding your body with light. This light goes up until it's about 10 feet above you and grounds the energy that is flowing into your heart. Now, you'll want to imagine a beautiful green spotlight from above shining a healing green light on you that merges with every part of your mind, your heart, your feet, your toes, your fingers…every part of your body. Then you will do well to imagine a pink light coming from above but this light is not the size of a spotlight, it is much larger. And now imagine the convergence of all these lights.

In this space, ask your Divine I Am Presence to help you be present to the love that is within you and the love that has sought you out to be able to help you raise your vibration. When you do this you are literally aligning with love and helping to release all blocks that your ego may have created to disallow the flow of love. This creates a truer asking for love and a greater ability to receive this love. Also these lovely lights will help you retain the truth that it is safe to have an open heart, and not only that, but that it is powerful to have an open heart.

We love you dearly and will speak to you again soon.

Divine Love: Exercise 6.17

Yes Dear Ones,

Today’s exercise will be good for people that seem to have a desire to feel freer than they currently feel.

The first thing to do is to imagine that you’re outside on a clear day noticing how expansive the sky is. Then imagine that you are a molecule of air and imagine what it would feel like to be able to float anywhere, to be anywhere, to know literally that the sky’s the limit. You can imagine what it would feel like to have the consciousness of this molecule and then direct that consciousness, or rather awareness, downward while you are still in the space of being “up there.” As you are “looking" down, get the sense that there is more opportunity than you imagined: you can be a molecule of air in the trees or the mountains or the city. Then look upwards and see the heavens and imagine what it would be like to be able to travel anywhere and how quickly it would be able to happen. You don’t need wings. You are connected to so many other molecules that you could literally be wherever you wanted to be whenever you wanted because there is no obstruction. You can use the wind to help you go wherever you want to go, you could allow the sun to help raise your vibration so that you could float upwards. Just really get a sense of the expansiveness of this state.

Then imagine yourself being where you are right now (back in your physical body) but see your mind as being a lovely, clear screen as if it is the sky itself. Then we want you to call forth an experience that you are currently having that feels not-so-expansive in nature. Bring the experience to this lovely space and feel that it is almost engulfed in feelings of freedom. Feel sunlight drenching this experience and being absolutely unobstructed. See this limited-feeling experience as a solid mass that is breaking apart in the rays of this beautiful sun and in this glorious sky. Feel that as this experience is floating apart, this healing sunlight is reaching every nook of this experience and all of the people involved with it. At the same time, it’s reaching all of the portions of your brain that are currently thinking about this experience and helping your brain to have greater perspective. It’s also helping you know that you are in fact not trapped at all, that “trapped” is only a way of looking at things. And that as long as you know that you can bring feelings of freedom to a situation, you have the power to liberate yourself from the situation in a way that will give you clarity and help you move forward in the way that you need to.

We love you greatly.

Divine Love: Exercise 6.16

So yes Dear Ones,

Today’s exercise will be good for people who desire to know themselves better than they do now – their true selves.

First, close your eyes and imagine yourself surrounded by a golden sun of energy. Imagine that energy flowing through every layer of your body, first through your skin and then through your organs and into your bloodstream then down to your very DNA. From there, you should imagine this golden light of truth connecting each layer of your physical being with a glow that permeates every part of your body. When you feel that you are completely saturated with light is when you should feel your heart take on an extra golden glow. Your now radiant heart sends information back through your entire body and radiates it to your brain, to the rest of your physical being and beyond to the energy field that surrounds it. The messages that your heart is giving to your brain are of truth and freedom and safety and Self.

Stay in this state for a good five minutes or more. After you are there for this period of time, take a deep breath and let yourself know that you will always be here for yourself and that you are willing to stay and support yourself even when you reveal your vulnerabilities. And also that as long as you reveal your true self you will make it a safe place for you to do so. You can even invite the Angels to help make sure that you are surrounded by people that will add to the safe space that you have created for yourself so that you will feel comfortable being who you really are. You will literally be creating a womb of safety and love within which you can express yourself. The wonderful thing is that once your heart has sent this information to your brain, it is permanent. You will always have a strong desire to be who you really are in the most loving ways and you will always have divine assistance to help you. Then at that point, see yourself surrounded by a blue sun of light which in effect seals in this truth and adds an extra layer of communicative and creative energy. With this you can simply say, “Thank you. I give thanks that I am one with truth and that it is my greatest desire to always honor this truth and allow the same for others.”

You can do this every day Dear Ones.

We love you greatly.

Divine Love: Exercise 6.15

Dear Ones,

This will be very helpful for people who have trouble looking beyond the illusion of their daily lives and desire to look to the truth of their situation.

First, look at things as they seem to be and look at how you feel. If how you feel is less than desirable you can use that as an indicator that you are focused on something that is not real or true because when you look at the true nature of your situation, or any for that matter, you feel joy. That is the law because that is the natural state of things. Then when you have come to clarity about the feeling that you are experiencing and have registered it as one of the feelings you would rather not feel then you should use that as a reason or rather an opportunity to ask for guidance on the situation.

For example, if you are feeling sad about the fact that you do not have a job or that you do not have enough money then you should look to your Divine Guidance and ask for that particular feeling to be healed and brought to the light so that regardless of the appearances of your external situations that you maintain that healed feeling. Then when you are able to maintain the feeling for a period of time, by Divine Law, the situation must outpicture the same way with regards to the subject that you had the intense feelings about.

So, if you were sad about money before and now you are choosing to focus on good feelings with regards to the money, the universe will soon send you an experience related to money that will give you something to feel good about. In fact, it will just mirror that emotion. It can be a bit of a challenge but it doesn’t have to be. Even if you feel like it’s a challenge then that is the thing that needs to be healed at the time. You can be aware on the frustrated feeling of knowing that you have a challenge and then at that point you would ask for guidance and then you could decide that since you have asked at this point, all you are going to do is feel good about the topic and soon you will have many experiences reflected to you about why it is good to feel good about what you feel good about.

This is something that we would like for you to work on all of the time. It is very helpful, yes, but very important. Then whenever you begin to feel lower vibration feelings you can use this as a sign or a reminder to ask for Divine guidance. This is by no means refusing to accept or embrace the feeling because you must do that as well but we are simply saying that if the feeling is there, it should be observed and then allowed to pass which is what you are helping it do when you 1) ask for assistance and then 2) focus on the energy that you would like to feel.

We love you dearly and will speak to you again soon.

Divine Love: Exercise 6.14

Yes Dear One,

Today’s exercise will be good for people who feel they need to trust more but don’t seem to be able to believe that they already trust.

First see yourself standing in a puddle of water. It is a rainy day and you have on rain boots so your feet aren’t wet but the rest of you is. You look across the street and see some shelter so you decide to head over. As you are walking across the street (you have already checked and don’t see any cars coming) you begin to wonder why you are here, what you’re doing in life and what you want to achieve. You check in with your Inner Guidance to see what some of those answers might be and in fact they line up with things that you already subconsciously knew you wanted. You continue across the street but when you get to the other side you begin to feel a bit down. You wonder if you are on the right track in your life and why things aren’t moving faster in your life than they are and you come to the conclusion that it’s because you don’t trust enough.

Then suddenly you feel that you are in the company of a Divine Being and soon afterwards you see a beautiful ball of light before you. You feel overcome with love and you look at this lovely being who is smiling back at you. He says to you, “Dear One, you have no idea where you are or how far you’ve come. You are always in the process of comparing yourself with others so you don’t truly know where you are on your own path. Come let me show you something.” So you take this lovely Being’s hand and he guides you to a nearby pond. As you look down into the pond you begin to see all the times in your life when you had gut feelings or inspirations that you followed and also the times that you didn’t. But you notice that lately the times that you didn’t follow them are fewer and fewer and that it appears that you almost always follow your instincts these days. You are a little bit surprised and you say, “But I thought that I needed to trust more or that things would look differently or I that I would feel differently when I trusted fully.”

“Dear One,” your Divine Guide says, “You already trust. There is no degree of trust – either you do or you don’t. And you do. Moreover, you value that guidance and you follow it and THAT is what is important. You seem to believe that it would feel differently or should look differently but that is because you are in the process of comparing yourself or your journey to something that you believe to be the highest path. But Dear One, the only truth path you need to concern yourself with is your own and if you are following your Divine Guidance you are already on THE highest path for you. This is it. And as long as you continue to follow the small impulses and inspirations you receive you ARE trusting. We are ever grateful for that and we would love for you to give thanks for the trust that you already have rather than believing that you aren’t doing a good job or looking for ways you don’t trust enough. Will you do that for us?" You smile and laugh and can barely talk because you feel so joyful but you finally say yes. Your Diving Being says to you, “Well, that is all we can ask. We love you so very much, Dear One.” And with that, the Divine Being and his beautiful ball of light vanish from your sight although you still feel his energy around you to help guide you forward.

We love you dearly.

Divine Love: Exercise 6.13

Yes Dear Ones,

Today's exercise will be good for people that seem to want to try really hard to do what they're supposed to do when really they should allow things to flow and allow themselves to flow with it.

First, see yourself outside on a sunny, clear day. You look around and notice that the streets are very busy and you want to cross to the other side but there are bikes and cars and busses and people. You hear a little voice inside saying, "Wait and all will be fine" but you are also looking at your watch because you are already late for an appointment. You decide that despite your inner guidance you are going to cross the busy street. You take the first step forward and someone accidently brushes your arm. Then you get a little closer to the curb and someone else brushes your arm but a little more roughly this time. You are determined to get to the other side and keep moving forward because now you have the "walk" sign but as you are about to step off of the sidewalk "whoom!" Someone rushes by and completely knocks you down on your back.

You look up and ask, "Why?" and suddenly your inner voice is strong and says, "You know why. There is no reason to ever believe that ignoring your inner guidance will take you where you want to go in a way that you would really like to experience getting there. When you follow your guidance things will unfold in ways that are easier, more relaxed, more joyful and for the highest good of all concerned." So you say to your guidance, "But really, no harm could have come from me crossing the street." Then out of nowhere, a bus skids around the corner too quickly and speeds by at an angle that knocks over a mailbox. You say, "Wow. That could have been me out there." And your guidance says, "Yes. You can imagine how unpleasant that would have been. Well actually, don't imagine it. But really, when you have guidance you will do well to follow it because it will make your life easier and more joyful. We have a high interest in your enjoying your life and being as divinely productive as possible. And if you let us help you, we will make sure that your experience of life is effortless. Will you do that?" And you say, "Yes." At that moment your cell phone rings and it's the person that you are supposed to meet saying that he's running late. You say, "That's fine" and wink at your inner guidance. You can't explain what it feels like but you know that your inner guidance is winking back at you.

All is lined up for you Dear Ones. Really. Learning to release resistance to following your inner guidance will be one of your biggest advantages and greatest powers in life.

We love you dearly and will speak to you again soon.

Divine Love Exercize: 6.12

Yes Dear Ones,

This exercise will be good for people who want to move forward on their spiritual path but would like a little clarity first.

First, see yourself surrounded by a large golden circle of light that extends about 5 feet on either side of you. Imagine that this circle of light is pulsating and as it pulsates, this golden light is being infused into every cell of your body, right down to you DNA until you completely merge with it. Then imagine a blue and a pink light above you that are the same size as the current ball of light that you are in. See each light, one at a time, merge with the golden light that you have become one with. Once all three of the lights have come together, you should see in the center a light that is stronger and more radiant than the surrounding light. This is where your heart connects with the light of your Divine Soul Being. Within this heart, within this light, is the powerful seed for everything you wish to do, be, have or feel in this lifetime along with how to accomplish it. This light is the center of your existence and a power source for your physical self. In this light, you and the divine are one.

You will do well to see yourself in this space often. And whenever you have questions about your life or about the next best steps for you to take, make sure to do this meditation before you ask yourself these questions, and you will be sure to be clearly guided along your path. Things that you didn’t even know that you desired or needed but that are best for you will be presented to you in a way that you will not be able to miss and that all parts of your being will be aligned with.

We love you dearly.

Divine Love Exercise: 6.11

Today’s exercise will be good for people who feel that they do not believe that things are happening for their highest good and would like some assistance.

First, see yourself standing in a room that is orange and has many doors. You don’t know which one to go through, for in fact you do not know where you want to go. There is a sort of general feel of hopelessness because you don’t even know why you are here. You know that you want to move forward but having no goal and not knowing where any of the doors lead anyway is sort of a conundrum. You look upwards and see the ceiling and then it is as if you can see the sky through the ceiling. You have a feeling of expansiveness that you did not have before and you wonder where this feeling comes from. So you look within and it is as if you feel the tiniest seed of light within your being that says, “Listen to me. I am here and I am of value.” While still experiencing this feeling of expensiveness you tune into the little, light, voice that seems to be speaking to you within. It is barely a whisper but that voice says that you want to feel good and that you want to do something related to the arts. Then you look at yourself and the little voice and say, “Really? I’ve never been interested in the arts before. I only know that I like math and that I would like to be of assistance to others. But this voice within me is saying “Art” and I feel good about that so I guess I will listen to that voice.” Then you look back at the doors and it is as if there are labels on the doors now and you know that you didn’t see them before or rather you don’t think that you saw them before. You see one that is marked with the words “Art” so you decide to walk through that door and when you go through you feel amazing. You find that there are many people doing things that are related to the arts and you feel connected to the people and to what they are doing in a way that you had never imagined. You begin to talk to someone about what they are doing and before you know it you are in the employ of some lovely people who do some lovely things and you feel wonderful.

So you are walking around feeling good about the fact that you listened to this voice or even that you noticed that it was there and just by acknowledging that little voice you feel its call again. It says to you “Love” and you wonder what it means by “Love” because you feel that you love what this job is offering you and you love the people you work with but you listened to the voice before and it brought you someplace wonderful so you decide to listen to it again. Then you turn around and notice that people seem to have words floating above their heads and you definitely didn’t see that before. There are only a few people that are nearby whose words you can read clearly but there is one person that approaches and you can see the word “Love” floating above their head. More importantly, you can feel the love emanating from that person. You introduce yourself and you strike a friendship over time. You find that it is not a love relationship in the sense of romantic love but there is a friendship so deep and honest and so healing that is clearly love. So again you thank the little light within for presenting itself to you and for the fact that when you acknowledged it and decided to follow it, even without knowing how, there was a way presented for you.

Then you seem to hear it speak again simply because you were thinking about it and this time the voice says, “Now.” You wonder what it means but you say to yourself, “Well, it is speaking and I am committed to listening. So,…“Now.” What does this mean?” And in the instant you ask you feel as if you are connected to all of life. You feel, see, hear and understand things in a way that you never knew possible. You can see how all of life is connected and how every event that you experienced has brought you to this wonderful spot in your life. And how “Now” is in fact the best place to be for here there is no worry, you are provided for, you have the most power to love and to do what brings you your highest joy, and to be of assistance to others.

Again you thank this little light within which you realized isn’t so little anymore and you give thanks that you now know and you trust and believe - because you have seen, felt and experienced that truth - that you are divinely guided. You know that there is more to life than you believed previously and that if you follow your internal voice, you will be lead to the most miraculous of experiences. Also, you will be able to spread the light of that truth out into the world just by the simple fact that you believe.

Divine Love: Exercise 6.10

This exercise will be one for when you feel that you’ve gotten off track and you would like to get back on.

The first thing to do is to close your eyes and see yourself standing in a white circle of light that expands until it’s about 10 feet on either side of you. Then look upwards and imagine that you can see a tunnel of light that connects you directly to your Divine Soul Being. Then imagine a lovely silver cord, a blue cord and also a gold cord of light extending down this tunnel and then anchoring in your heart.

From that point you should open your eyes and get a pen and paper. Draw a large circle on the paper and in the center you should draw a dot. This dot is to represent you. Around that dot you should draw little stars or circles and these represent the many options and directions that you can take in your life. From the center of the circle until the external edge of the circle, draw a straight line and know that any type of line you draw between you (the dot) and your connection to God (the edge of the circle) will represent your spiritual path.

Then pick any stars that you feel drawn to and connect them in any fashion you like as long as the line begins in the center and continues to the edge. You can spiral around, you can draw a straight line between you and the edge, you can sort of squirrel around a bit – whatever you’d like to do. Underneath the circle you should write, “This is my path of highest joy. This is what I have come to do in this lifetime and I decree and declare that I am worthy of this wonderful journey. I will do whatever I possibly can to stay on this path because it is truly for my absolute highest good and greatest joy as well as for the absolute highest good for of all of life. I give thanks that this path is presented so clearly to me and is also easy for me to find my way back to if I feel that I have strayed a bit.”

You can simply hang this drawing somewhere you see it on a regular basis or keep it handy for whenever you find that you’ve fallen a bit off track. Whenever you choose to look at it, first see yourself surrounded by the large circle of light with the cords and tunnel of light that connect you to the Divine, then look at the image you drew and then read what you wrote with your own hands underneath the image.

You will be amazed at how this helps you to stay on track.
We love you dearly and will speak to you soon.

Divine Love: Exercise 6.9

Yes Dear Ones,

So this one will be very helpful for people who seem to not know what they want to do with their life but would like to.

First, see yourself standing outside in a field with a friend on a snowy day. You look at each other and then you say, “Well, what do we do? We’re here in the field and it is snowing. I wanted us to do something but it doesn’t look like we have many options.” Luckily you have a sled so you two get on the sled and slide down the hill together having a wonderful time along the way. When you get to the bottom you see your house so you decide to go in and take refuge from the cold.
Again, you look at your friend and say, “Well, you didn’t answer before. What do you think we should do?” Your friend gets up and runs into the other room, so you follow. You begin playing video games and have a blast because this is the dance game you love. You are just having a wonderful time with each other and don’t even realize that you are stuck inside on a snowy day. Then after you danced for a while, and you have done as much dancing with that game as you can, you realize you are hungry so you both get a bite to eat.

Then you say to your friend, “Well, I guess you’re not going to say anything or try to answer this question but I have to ask. What should we do today? The day is going by fast and we still don’t have a plan for what we are going to do.” Your friend takes a sip of the milk that he is drinking and smiles at you and says, “Really? Do you not see what is happening?’ So you ask, “What is happening?” and he says, “Sometimes it is nice to have a plan but sometimes it is enough to just take action of some sort, for when you do that you will be lead to something that brings you more joy than if you just stayed in the same place. It doesn’t matter what we do as long as we do something that raises our vibration and brings us joy.” And you say, “But what about plans and goals? What about those things? Aren’t they good and helpful?” Your friend says, “Yes. If you have a clear goal then yes, by all means, work toward it. Especially if it lights you up. But during those times when you don’t have a clear goal, sometimes it is best just to take action with things that will bring you joy and then before you know it you will be inspired to do something or come up with a goal. Does that make sense?”

“Well, yes” you say. “Even while I asked you what we should do the last time, I was thinking about an idea I got for people when they are inside - a whole range of family games that they can do on rainy days that will keep them occupied and having fun together.” And your friend says, “Yes. That’s the spirit! Sometimes it is best just to keep moving in the direction of joy and you will be lead to the next inspiration. Sound good?” And you say, “Yes. Sounds good. Thanks!” Then your friend says, “Ok, now let’s get back to the dance game because I think I’m going to beat you this time!” You run off to the room to play with your friend, embracing your wonderful new learning about how to approach times when you don’t have clarity about what you want to do with the time in your life.

Divine Love: Exercize 6.8

Yes Dear Ones,

This will be a good exercise for anyone wishing to develop a stronger and clearer connection with the Divine that already exists within them.

First, stand in front of a mirror and imagine that you are surrounded by a large ball of light that is expanding. Look upward and see that this large ball of light is in fact expanding to include your Divine Soul Being, your personal connection to the Divine that resides several feet above you. Then see a beautiful silver cord of light extending down from the heart of your Divine Being that easily and lovingly glides down through the top of your head and anchors itself into your heart. Imagine that this light, as soon as it connects to your heart, spreads into every cell of DNA in your body. Immediately, you are one with this beautiful light that appears to be concentrated in your heart even though it in fact expands throughout your entire body.

Look back up at your Divine Soul Being and see that the circle of light that surrounds you both is now becoming a tube of light that continues into the heavens and extends to three feet on either side of you. Then say to yourself in the mirror, “I Am willing to know myself as the Divine Being that I AM and I AM willing to act, think, feel and move in accordance with the Higher Divine Will which is my truest nature. At the same time, I Am aware that acting in accordance with this Divine Will is so freeing, so fulfilling and so joyous that I desire to experience this as my Truth and to always act from this space. So say I. So be it.” Then, once you have said this while looking at yourself in the mirror, take a deep breath and see a golden orb of light float down the Silver Cord of your Soul Being into your heart followed by a blue orb of light, a pink orb of light, a green orb of light and then another blue orb. As this happens, you feel yourself growing stronger and lighter. Also after these orbs of light have come into your body, they settle in your heart and continue to expand until all of these lights are of equal size and extend to three feet around either side of your body.

While you look at yourself in the mirror, you begin to feel that this is who you really are – that these beautiful lights are your true divine nature. And as you are experiencing yourself as this combination of radiant lights, know that your desire to embody the beautiful vibration of these orbs will bring you closer to experiencing yourself as your true Divine Nature. Take a breath and give thanks to all of these lights. As you move from the mirror and go forward in your life these lights and your Soul Being are real and are always connected with you. For once you have consciously enhanced this connection, it is so and will only harmoniously and joyously expand in your life as you move forward.

Divine Love: Exercise 6.7

So this exercise is going to be for people that would like to open their hearts more to trust that life is truly here to support them in every way.

First, see yourself sitting on a park bench on a lovely day. The air is crisp and the sky is blue. You look next to where you’re sitting and you notice that there is no one there. You are quite alone and you feel a bit lonely but somehow you don’t feel as lonely as you have before. Suddenly you feel that there is someone sitting next to you and you see a sort of a vague form of light that is filling itself out. Within minutes there is an Angel sitting next to you. She tells you to rest your head on her lap so you do and you suddenly feel transported. It is a strange feeling – you are in your body but at the same time you feel that you are not in your body. You feel light and overcome with love and you realize that the Angel is taking you somewhere.

She is taking you to a beautiful area over the ocean to show you a screen on the sky. And as you look at it feeling very peaceful, without a care, and full of love you notice that she is showing you scenes from your life. The funny thing is that often there is so much light on the screen that you are unable to see the images clearly but somehow you are able to make out which parts of your life these scenes are from. You ask your lovely Angel why this is and she tells you, “Dear One, there is so much light on the screen because there were so many of us around you, lining up everything in your life so that you would go in the direction that was best for you and the most joyful.” You look at your Angel and ask about some particularly trying times in your life and the Angel says to you, “Really Dear One, those were the highest of all possible options. You needed to learn something and we shortened the experiences to the degree that were able to. More than anything, we were there to comfort you and to bring you peace because as you are creating your life and constantly asking to learn more, you are very open and also a powerful attractor drawing to you many circumstances and experiences. It is not for your highest good to experience all of them so we were there helping you to only allow ones that were for your absolute highest good. What you are left with, then, is the truth that if the experience is in your life, then it is there for a reason - either to help you grow or to show you how Divine you are.”

You look at your Angel and say, “Really? Would you show me the time that my family left me and we were not communicating at all. That was quite painful for me.” And so you watch as the Angel shows you scenes of that time and you are amazed. It is as if everything that you said and every thought that you had was in some effect cushioned by the Angels and you could see where you almost chose non-supportive actions but they were there to guide you to believe that another option was possible. You were amazed and grateful for the times that you followed their guided steps and you saw what happened when you didn’t follow that guidance in the form of gut feelings that you chose to ignore. Weeping, you look at your Angel and say, “Thank you. Is there anything that I can do for you? This is breathtaking. This is truly amazing and I am so grateful for everything that you have done for me.” Your Angel simply says, “Trust yourself, for in fact, We are One. The Universe will speak to you THROUGH you so the more you trust yourself, the more you will know that you are on the right track. That is the best you can do for me because we are always there to help you and nothing thrills us more than for you to reap the benefits of following your Inner Guidance. Except for maybe possibly a hug.” Smiling, you hug your Angel and suddenly find yourself back on the bench by yourself. Only now you feel more loved, more cared for and more trusting than you ever have.

Divine Love: Exercise 6.6

So Yes Dear Ones,
This exercise is for people that desire to intensify the light in their lives.

First, see yourself surrounded by a large circle of white light and imagine that this large light is also full of tiny bubbles of light. At the same time, imagine your heart expanding (you can do this by thinking of anything that makes you happy) which causes these tiny bubbles of light to expand as well. As your heart continues to expand, these bubbles of light float into your heart and cause it to glow. This continues until all of the small light bubbles that were on the outside of you are now inside of your heart except for the large bubble which is connected to your Higher Self.

Then, imagine yourself slowly rising and as you rise, you notice that this light seems to burst out of your heart like fireworks but somehow the light still remains on the inside of your heart as well. It is like the bubbles of light are seeds and they sprout these beautiful fireworks of light that fall onto all of the beings that inhabit your life: your friends, your coworkers, your family, your plants, your animals so that they all benefit from this lovely light that you are. And as you continue to harmoniously rise and radiate this light, there is a sense of calm that seems to infuse every part of your being.

You look upwards and notice that there is a connection that has been forged between you and the Divine and the special thing about this connection is that now that it exists it cannot be ignored and you don’t desire to ignore because it feels wonderful. You are also aware of the fact that simply because you desired to increase the light in your life, you affected the lives of everything and everyone else in your world. And as you are looking up gratefully at your beloved Soul Being another golden ray of light is delivered down from it and it grounds this light into your body. Every chakra lights up with this beautiful golden light as it plants seeds of its own in your being so that you will always have expanding light that causes expanding truth and harmony in every chakra and in every area of your life.

As you stay in this state you slowly float back down to earth and even as you open your eyes and look around you, you know that this lovely light is always within you. You know that it is always growing and is so very loving. You feel that since you now know that you have this connection to the light, it will only grow and be of benefit to all of life which is exactly why you wanted it.

Divine Love: Exercise 6.5

Yes Dear Ones,

Today’s exercise will be for people who desire to open their heart and trust a bit more.

First, see yourself standing outside in the rain with an umbrella. You are dry but you look around and see that there are many other people getting wet because they don’t have umbrellas. They wonder what to do and so you call to someone that is standing near you and offer some space under yours. They fit under the umbrella and you’re very surprised at that because the umbrella is quite small. You call to some others standing nearby in the rain and you tell them that there seems to be a bit of room left and so they run under your umbrella and they miraculously seem to fit. You feel grateful for this because you truly don’t want people to get wet. There doesn’t seem to be any real cover for a distance so you are glad to be able to be of service. Then a few others have seen that there is room under your umbrella so they run to you and ask if they can fit. You say, “Of Course,” because you know in your heart that as long as there is room you will offer that space to anyone who needs it and somehow they also manage to fit with still a little room left underneath this beautiful umbrella that would normally fit only one person.

Then you see two more people with a little girl who are huddled near a wall and you call to them to come over to your umbrella. They run over and they fit, too and everyone is smiling and saying that they don’t believe that they can all fit under your umbrella. And then two more people run over and as they do, you look up and see that your umbrella is expanding as you look at it. And for a second you can see that your Beloved Soul Being who resides above you is smiling and winking at you and you feel so loved and protected. Then you lovingly and easily yell at others that are caught in the rain to come under your umbrella and everyone fits and has the best time because they are all amazed at what is happening. One of the people turns to you and smiles warmly and says, “You must have a very lovely heart.” You ask why and the person says, “Well, as far as I know, when your desire is great the Universe will always conspire to assist you and when you desire so strongly for others, the universe will never desert you. It will always accommodate your loving request so that you are able to do what it is you desire to do without your even knowing exactly how to do it. You simply had to have the desire to be of service and the Universe provided the how.” You smile at the person and say thank you as the others around you begin to smile and applaud the girl with the Beautiful Heart and the Magic Umbrella of Love.

We love you dearly.

Divine Love: Exercise 6.4

So Yes Dear Ones,

Today’s exercise will be good for people who desire to connect more but are unable to do it in a consistent way.

Part 1: The first thing to do is to get a notebook and pen and write down several things that make you happy. Then, make a list of as many things as you can think of that you would like to experience in this lifetime. Finally, briefly write about how you would feel and how your life might be different if you don’t achieve these things. Eg: Will you feel sad, frustrated, free, etc. If you'd like, you can sage and then discard the paper and move to Part 2.

Part 2: Then on another page you are to draw a large circle with yourself in the middle. You are smiling and looking upwards. Then on the outside of the circle you can draw many little stars. These stars are to represent all the possibilities of life experiences that exist for you. You can draw as many stars as you can fit on the page and within the circle you are to write the following thing, “I know that the things I would like to experience are just a drop in the ocean of all things that are possible for me and now I desire to experience all of the greatness that life has for me. In order to do that, I know that I must become one with Life. I am willing to release fear or at least relegate it to its place of being of lesser value than anything else I desire and know that to become all of the things that I would like, I must connect with the source of these things. For when I do that, I have access to so much more than if I focus on any particular thing. I desire for this process to be easy and fun and I give thanks that I am able to truly enjoy this entire process.” And then on the back of the page you are to draw a large circle with a star in the center. Underneath you are to write, “I AM one with God and I allow myself to experience this truth with ease, joy, gratitude, harmony and excitement.”

Then you can hang this up by a mirror or somewhere that you will see it each day and the energy of this image will help make it easy for you to follow your divine guidance and it will also make that guidance come to you in a much more joyful way. When you see this image by the mirror it will also reinforce the truth that you are one with God. You can have either side of the image facing you and Part 1 was just to guide you to the place of being less attached to your dreams.

We love you dearly and will speak to you again soon.

Divine Love: Exercise 6.3

So Yes Dear Ones,

This exercise will be good for people that tend to not follow their inner guidance when it presents itself. It will help them be able to trust more.

First, see yourself surrounded by a large moat. You are on a small, vacant island and you can easily see the beautiful shore on the other side of the water. You want to cross but you look at the moat in front of you and don’t trust that you will be able to cross safely even though you suddenly have the feeling that you will be able to. You approach the water to get a closer look. The water in fact does look very deep and you are unsure of crossing it even through your internal guidance very clearly said “Simply walk across the moat and you will be fine.” You look at the water and think, “No way, that’s crazy! It’s deep and I’ll fall in the moment I start to walk across. Um…thanks Guidance but I’m sure that I can find a better way.”

So you walk around your little island, which doesn’t take too long to do, and you see that there are no bridges and there is no real way across other than to walk or swim across. You really don’t want to swim because you are scared of what might be kept in the moat in order to protect the landowners from invaders. Also, you have never succesfully walked across water. So you sit there for a while longer and realize, “OK. There is no way for me to get to the other side other than to directly cross the moat . There is no one on the other side whose attention I can get to send me the boat that is moored on the other side so I will simply have to trust my guidance and walk across.” So you say, “OK God, I am willing to let you lead me to the other side.”

You begin to walk into the water and your shoes get a bit wet but nothing else. As you continue forward, you find that your shoes stay wet but that the water level does not go higher than that. Soon you are literally halfway across the moat and you say, “God, how can this be? I looked in and I saw that the water was very deep and dark and even scary yet I am practically walking on top of the water.” You continue to walk across the moat in this very open and grateful state and as you reach the other side, you turn around and see what you could not see from the other side. There was a narrow, practically invisible, barely covered sandbar under that section of the lake so that even though the water looked deep, it was no deeper than four inches.

When you decided to trust your inner guidance, It placed you exactly where you needed to be so that you would cross safely along the sandbar. You look up and hear a beautiful voice say to you, “Dear One, I Am always with you and I Am always here to guide you. I understand that it will be difficult to trust me sometimes, because after all you cannot see me...but you can feel me. And the more you trust that inner guidance whenver you feel it, the greater your trust in Me and that connection will grow.”

Divine Love: Exercise 6.2

Yes Dear Ones,

This will be good for people who seem to have a lot on their shoulders and often don’t know how to proceed.

Imagine yourself outside on a beautiful day. You look around and see a beautiful road, an enticing forest, some playground swings and a little stream all of which seem to be calling to you equally. But instead of feeling joyful at all of the prospects on your plate you seem to feel undecided and stuck. You don’t know which one to do first and that sort of upsets you. There were times before when you would have easily chosen one over the others or would not have cared about which one you chose. But whatever the reason, you only feel that this is not the most fun place to be in.

You suddenly feel yourself surrounded by a loving, white light so you turn around and see a beautiful angel. He calls you toward him, smiles and says to you, “Dear One, do you know what this is? You are in the middle of so much love that you don’t know what to let allow itself to love you first. Should you let the stream lull you to frolic by its side, should you let the swing sway you back and forth into a peaceful daze, should you walk down the road and see where it leads because the horizon is so beautiful or should you let the forest tease you with its beautiful foot paths and lovely trees?” Then you look at your angel with a question on your face implying that you don’t understand.

Your angel looks at you and says, “Dear One, whenever you are in such a space it may feel overwhelming at times but that is really just a place where you have asked for many things to happen and you just happen to be an energetic match for all of them at the same time. In such a place it really doesn’t matter which one you start with but the fact that you’re not taking action causes you to create an energy state that is undesirable. The longer you’re in that place, the sooner you will no longer be a match for these wonderful things. It is good to know that as long as you're an energetic match, and whatever you decide to do first, the others will happily wait for you to give them your loving attention. And if you’d like more guidance you can always ask us. But the truth is that your perception plays a huge role in this process so look at this as the wonderful gift that it is and you will find that it is easy to move forward. It is simply like walking into your closet and picking an outfit to wear today. You can wear an entirely different outfit tomorrow if you desire and there is no need to be attached to either one. If you are going to be attached to anything, let it simply be to the fact that you will pick something that you like and that you will enjoy while you are wearing it."

We love you dearly and will speak to you again soon.

Divine Love: Exercise 6.1

Yes Dear Ones,

This will be helpful for people that tend to feel they are alone and would like to feel that there is more love for them in the world.

First, close your eyes and imagine yourself surrounded by a loving pink and gold light. See that light expand until it is about 10 feet wide on either side of you. As you do this, six small lights seem to present themselves out of this beautiful circle that surrounds you. These lights continue to expand and then each one materializes into a beautiful Archangel. The one that is closest and is surrounded in pink light comes to you and says, “Please rest your head on my shoulders and feel comforted. You may not see me in this form in your physical world but know that I am always with you. I will give you strength to carry on even when you feel that you are unloved. It is quite untrue that you are unloved but I know that it is a feeling you may experience so now I will pass this gift to you.” And as your head is on his shoulder you can feel this beautiful energy being transferred to you. You say, “Thank you,” and then bow to the beautiful being.

The next Angel who is surrounded by gold light walks up to you and says, “Please lay your head on my lap and feel comforted. I am giving you the gift of vision so that you will always see love around you, especially when you seem to not feel it. I will always send you signs of love so that you will see it from strangers, from your loved ones, even in things that you read. I want you to see with your eyes that you are loved because I know that often humans need to see something in order to believe it. I give this gift to you.” You feel this beautiful transference of energy being given to you and you say, “Thank you,” and bow to this beautiful being.

The next one, surrounded by fuchsia colored light says to you, “Dear One, I love you greatly and will give to you to the gift of a powerful heart. In the face of perceiving lack of love from others, your own love for yourself and others will be so great that you will not feel the lack of love. This will get you through the toughest trials because you will know that your own love is great and that it is sourced from the Divine.” You feel this lovely transference of energy, say, “Thank you” and hug this wonderful being of light.

Then the next one surrounded by a green light approaches you and says, “Dearest One, we love you greatly and I will give the gift of joy to you. For it is often hard to feel unloved if you feel greatly joyful. It is an untruth that you are not loved but we will endeavor to give you a great feeling of joy so that you will not fall into the illusion of feeling unloved quite so frequently.” You feel this Angel surround you with his light and you feel so joyful that you could burst. You say, “Thank you” to this lovely being and then he steps aside.

Then the next Angel surrounded in purple light approaches and it is a great light indeed. He says to you, “Dear One, I will transfer the feeling of faith to you. For whatever happens, if you have great faith nothing is impossible. You will always know the truth and that the truth exists even if you don’t feel it or see it or if you don’t feel joyful. You will know that the truth exists because you have faith so this is the gift I give to you. I love you greatly.” You stand still and this beautiful being extends light out from his heart and surrounds you with it. As he does, you feel faith like you never have before. You say, “Thank you” almost in tears and then next being approaches.

An Angel surrounded by blue light approaches you and without even saying anything, simply surrounds you with a loving, blue ray of light. You can feel that this light is strengthening your connection to the Divine so that you will receive messages even more clearly than you receive them now. When you know that you are connected to the Divine you cannot feel unloved for long. Even if you feel a little unloved, before you know it you will be receiving communication that is from such a loving place that you can never feel that sad and alone again. You say thank you and bow to this beautiful being.

Then all of these beings surround you and say to you, “Dear one, we will also be with you in your physical world and we will work through the people that already exist in your life." To help remind you that they are with you, the first Archangel turns into the face of one of your closest friends, the second Archangel turns into the face of another good friend, the third Archangel turns into the face of your mother and the fourth Archangel turns into the face of your father and the fifth Archangel turns into the face of your mentor and the sixth Archangel turns into your very own face.

They say to you, “We may not look as you would think we should look but we are all Divine Beings here to show you that you are also Divine and that you are so very loved.”

We love you so greatly and we are always here with you.

Love all of us in the Angelic Realm,
Your Beloved Archangel Raphael

P.S. If you desire to feel any of the Archangels' gifts more strongly, simply surround yourself with the particular color associated with them.

Angel Tip: From Meditation to Divine Love Fest!

I just wanted to offer a bit of guidance I recently received from Archangel Raphael. It's for people (maybe like me???) who sometimes have trouble meditating. They said that sometimes the word meditate has more I-should-be-doing-this energy than I-absolutely-love-doing-this energy attached to it. They suggested that if we give it a more inspiring name it might make the process easier and easier to keep up. Remember: A rose by any other name... ;)

Anyway, they proposed calling it a Divine Love Fest because it sounds like something that everyone would want to be in on. You can start by sitting down, putting a smile on your face and then imagining that you are surrounded by a wide column of white light that connects you to the Divine. Then imagine sending up waves of grattitude (you don't have to think "thank you" just really focus on the feeling) for all of the divine assistance you've received in your life. You can do this for as long as you feel like it.

Next, tell your Divine Soul Being that you would like to feel It's love for you and imagine it showering you with love and joy. Then see all of your Divine Guides, Angels, etc. also wanting to get in on the action and showering you with their love, too. It's kind of inevitable that you will feel even more gratittude and soon you'll be in the middle of a full-on Divine Love Fest! Also, you will have created a beautiful connection with the Divine where you will have easily switched off your thoughts and refocussed on the Light without even intentionally trying to. I've been doing it since it was suggested to me and it truly feels wonderful.

Love,
Chernise
