Dear Ones, your enlightenment process is one of accelerated forward movement followed by periods of integration. This is designed to allow your body and your mind time to assimilate into new energetic states of beingness. Both phases are critical for your growth.

Think of mountain climbers. They move steadily into higher altitudes in a phase of forward movement, but also know they must stop and make camp to give their bodies time to adjust. The same it is with you as you move into higher and higher vibrational states.

If you can embrace each phase of the journey as being equally important – of serving and supporting the other, you will find a much greater peace, acceptance, and balance in the process. All movement is forward movement, and staying out of resistance and in a space of trust in the divine capability of your soul to navigate the process will help you make the most progress with the greatest amount of grace and ease possible. ~Archangel Gabriel through Shelley Young

For as ordinary as you feel at times, you possess a very extraordinary gift…the ability to love with depth and eloquence.  Other creatures on your Earth plane are capable of expressing this particular emotion, however, humans give a depth and breadth to it unmatched in The Universe.  In song, verse and action love, the way it was intended, is given life.  Embrace your extraordinary life! ~ Creator

There is a pervasive belief that you will be tested in order for God to determine your worthiness. The idea that you are being tested implies that there is judgment - that you will either pass or fail. Dear Ones, there is no judgment towards you from the higher realms, only pure acceptance and unconditional love. We celebrate you exactly as you are. There is never, ever a time when you are not worthy or good enough or that you have to do anything to gain our approval.

The things you perceive as being tests are not to prove anything to anyone but yourselves. Your challenges are opportunities for you to discover your own strength, courage, and ability to love. They always offer expansion in order for you to know yourself in deeper and more profound ways. They are gifts for you to fully experience in new ways the depth of your faith, trust, and divine capability.

Further, they are never put upon you, but rather choices your soul makes in order to grow and to know yourself better. They allow you to experience the depth of your soul and your incredible capacity for expansion, and through that expansion, the universe also expands. You are always loved, supported, and encouraged through such times that serve to open you up to a more profound understanding of self and new levels of attainment, which will only serve both you and the whole. ~Archangel Gabriel through Shelley Young

There are many changes, many shifts within the current shift that are happening now.  It may feel chaotic, out of control and a bit crazy.  When you ask if you can weather the storm that is coming, the answer from The Universe will always be a resounding, “Yes!”  Just breathe, keep breathing and know that you are being cared for in the best way possible. ~ Creator

So many of you have lost the sense of joy and fun in your lives. If this is the case for you, and you would like to move back into greater enjoyment in your life, we suggest you ask yourself the following questions…

What brought you joy as a child? Why did you stop? Are there elements of that same activity you can pick up again now? When did you decide being an adult meant having no fun? Is that true? What brings you joy now? What interests you? Have you connected with your inner child lately? Are they neglected? What lightness and joy would they like to bring to the forefront of your life?

What do you think will happen if you lighten up? What responsibilities do you take on unnecessarily that others could easily do? Do you automatically say no to everything? What one activity could you bring into your life that would be just about your enjoyment? What class have you always wanted to take? What place have you always wanted to visit? When you go to the book store or the library, what section do you linger in the longest? Are you doing that activity in your life or putting it off for some unknown future time?
