“What is a friend? A single soul dwelling in two bodies.” ~ Aristotle

As obvious as it may sound, eye contact – as the primary way living beings communicate, alongside body language and the spoken word – is more important than you might think. The difference is, unlike body language and the spoken word, that eye contact can be something we forget to do.

Let’s go one step further and hold the lack of eye contact (amongst a group of city commuters for example) as one of the biggest missing links when it comes to making a heart and soul connection… this one simple change in our habits may be the key to rediscovering our dialogue with the whole, and revisiting the days of unlimited energy and positive vibes we had as children.

Dear Ones, we see many of you staying beautifully in balance, shining your light, and being in alignment. We also see you feel like certain situations or circumstances have the power to knock you out of that alignment.

Being in or out of alignment is always your choice, your preference. Hear us when we say that you will only lose that alignment if you give your power away to an external situation. So, rather than approaching a situation that you think will be difficult, or has been difficult in the past, by bracing yourself or shoring yourself up energetically in some defensive posture, which automatically states you are expecting to engage with these energies, why not simply choose to shine your light brightest during that time? Choosing to be of your highest service by holding the light is the way to approach any situation from a place of authentic power and beautiful alignment.

Being of service anchors you in a place that is non-reactive and unshakeable. It is wonderfully empowering to approach a situation with the intention of simply being of your highest vibration and service, and allowing others to simply be where they are. It is an approach that is filled with unconditional love, both for yourself, and for others. ~Archangel Gabriel

Most people think that loving takes time, that it takes getting to know someone. But, that is the furthest thing from the truth. Love because they are human just like you. Love because you recognize them in you. It is like breathing, it just happens. ~ Creator

A tiny gland in the center of the brain named the pineal may seem insignificant, but researchers have found it to be vital for physical, mental and, many believe, spiritual health. Through poor diet, exposure to toxins, stress and modern lifestyle choices, the pineal gland becomes hardened, calcified and shuts down. To awaken this gland from its slumber, detoxification is necessary using diet and herbs, sunlight and pure water.

An important pea-sized gland

Pinecone shaped, the size of a pea and resting in the center of the brain, the pineal gland is small but powerful. It secretes melatonin, which regulates sleep/wake cycles, and serotonin, a neurotransmitter that fosters happy and balanced states of mind. Not only crucial for a good night’s rest, melatonin also slows aging and is a potent antioxidant. It helps to protect against electromagnetic pollution as well. Moreover, individuals have reported heightened feelings of empathy while supplementing with melatonin — leading to more harmonious interpersonal relationships.

Remember Me during the activity of the day, and remember Me during the stillness of the night.

I won’t say that I remember you day and night because you are never out of My mind in order for Me to remember you. You are always in plain sight and reverberating in My heart. How can I be reminded of you when I never forget you, so intimate are We.

Do you possibly think I am not capable of this? Of course, I am capable. I, Who created all the world you know and the worlds you do not know, I can do a little thing like keep you in mind without cease.

In a sense, We can say that I create you still, for you are never out of My mind. We are One. Oneness means We are never apart, not for a minute, and not for an inch – as if there were time and space or anything but Me anyway wherever you turn.

Oh, yes, that which We call you - as if We could be separate or opposed – it is simply your awareness that can be lagging. Even if you think I am not in your heart, I am deep in your heart. Perhaps you have not been looking. On the other hand perhaps, unbeknownst to you, you have been feeling feelings that you do not know how to name. I know you feel something you know not quite how to name. You have an unseen vision of Me, an unheard hearing of Me, a far distant echo of something true that pulls you, you know not what and you know not where.

You get hints of Our association. No matter what else you believe you long for, you long for Me. Anything else you long for is a drop in the bucket.  

EMBRACE DIVERSITY   Today, practice feeling joy every moment. There will be situations that arise that in the past left you with heavy feelings of sadness, anger, frustration, etc. When those moments arise, look for the positive nature in them.

Feel blessed that you have the ability to be experiencing this event and express gratitude for the awareness that you no longer are a victim or hold the experience in a negative manner.

In the beginning, this may be difficult, especially in situations that are emotionally charged. However, with practice, there will come a time when no matter what situation arises, you will face it, embrace it and be thankful that you have the power within you to choose how you feel about it.

Begin today! Caban 9, Day 217

Lots of people say it, and it can’t be denied… this would be a wonderful, balanced natural world if humans weren’t a part of it. Knowing how accepted this sentiment is, I feel for us. We’re not meant to be a curse. We see what’s been done to the earth and to us, and we’re working so diligently to comprehend what has allowed it, and what we can do to change it.

How did humans get so out of balance? By ignoring, fearing, demeaning, even hating and destroying a most vital part of ourselves. We were born into it, so let’s not go to guilt.
