CHILD CARETAKERS    We cannot overemphasize the importance of allowing children to make choices for themselves. In many situations, children are much wiser and on higher frequencies of love than their caretakers. Parents role-model what they have learned, extending their fears and myths onto children in ways that may hamper their productivity.

It is imperative to pay close attention to what you are modeling to them. Anything other than love and kindness is abusive and detrimental, although most of you are doing these things without intentionally meaning to be harmful. Any moment when you affect a child and he reacts with emotions such as fear, anger or hurt, look at what you said or did to offend him. It is one thing to protect a child from harm, but did you cause harm in the process of doing so? It is good to teach the child manners, but did you use proper manners as a role model in doing so?

Many children are forced to eat foods they dislike or amounts that are not fit for their bodies. In doing so, they often learn the habit of overeating. They are given foods with no nutritional value as treats. Their exuberance is met with disdain or medication. Their behaviors, words, thoughts, dreams and aspirations are often met with ridicule. Allow them to dream big and perhaps they will be your role models and encourage you to dream big!

So many of you are very hard on yourselves, thinking you are not loving or good enough. Let us assure you there has never been a time where you were anything but divine perfection in our eyes. You are brave, sensitive, beautiful beings! And how you love! You perceive you do not love enough, but you give love every day, through a smile, a touch, a desire to connect, tending the earth, caring for an animal. You are driving the shift on your planet, each and every one of you, so simply the fact that you are in the body in this right now moment is a powerful testimony to the love that you are. Start to see the many ways you express love and perfection, Dear Ones, because you are dazzling to our eyes and we wish for you to experience yourselves exactly as we experience you. ~Archangel Gabriel

Glorifying Peace Instead of War: Challenges and Solutions

Despite the fact that we live in a world of increasing violence in every walk of life, humans still have not lost hope; they talk about peace as they have done since the beginning of time. Some advocate peace by preparing for war; others advocate peace by preparing for peace.

I thought I could do peaceful work inside the United States’ nuclear labs, but I learned I was wrong. I realized that environmental and nuclear non-proliferation work was an illusion, and that purely academic projects are sustained to lure well-intentioned young scientists into weapons development programs. I also realized that if scientists stop developing the instruments of mass destruction, the government will be powerless to continue developing them. So I resigned from the nuclear labs, and chose instead to work for peace – and now I urge others to do the same.

What is overthinking? Is it thinking too much? Is it worrying too much? It seems to be a cycle of thoughts that leads to worrying when it won’t break.

We read into every little thing – from when we don’t get a text back to when someone glances at us and we interpret it as a threat; it’s by design. We can control our thoughts and the extent they exist with a purposeful focus that stops any worry and anxiety before it even starts.

1. See the bigger picture.

Fractal everything out. In any situation, you can take yourself and view it from a higher or objective perspective. When you feel overwhelmed from all your responsibilities, take your view point out of the equation. Clear your mind, merge with the void for a moment. See what you are working toward, see the bigger picture of what you want in your life.

Is what you’re doing right now working toward your passion?  If not, shift onto the path that will bring you the most joy!

Can you feel the intensity rising?

A very concentrated and potent influx of energy is flooding in for us right now. Starting with January of this year, the vibration of Earth began amplifying. The 7th and final Pluto Uranus Square alignment (March 17) followed by the total Solar Eclipse in Pisces (March 20) raised the frequencies to become ever more noticeable and influential.

We are in the midst of a very significant astrological gateway. The challenge I am sure many of you are feeling at this point is to stay present and balanced. The awareness of all distortions that reflect separateness are being made apparent. This processes is allowing us to strengthen our 5th dimensional connection and the unity consciousness that has emerged within ourselves (individually and collectively).
