God said:

Where you have clouds in your heart, invite the sunshine in. There are those cloudy days in your heart, and it is easy to succumb to them. It is easy for you to allow yourself to be swept right in, as if you had no choice. The gray clouds seem to act like a magnet, and the color of your day matches the gray of the clouds.

Where We exist, you and I – and We exist as One, and We are in Bright Light – darkness does not exist. Darkness is fantasy. In Truth, there is nothing to compare Light to.

Oneness leaves nothing to contrast with and nothing to compare to. There is no with in Oneness. No against, no opposed, no other. Imagine the sweetness of Oneness.

You may think you crave chocolate or chewy caramels. There is something more you crave. It’s true. Absolutely, you seek to find more Oneness. You’ve had more than enough of seeming Otherness. Now you are ripe for the Sweetness of Oneness which satisfies all hungers. Here, take some Oneness now. Oneness is everywhere even as there is no where.

Oneness is not pre-wrapped. It seems to enter by osmosis. Oneness sinks in the way the Season of Spring arrives. Suddenly, spring is here, and you spot a crocus and then more and more flowers join -- lilies of the valley, bluets, tulips. Dandelions pop up. You are surrounded by color, and you are joyous.

The medicinal benefits of meditation and yoga are now firmly established in scientific literature. One of the latest studies to emerge on the matter comes from Harvard researchers working at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH). They determined that meditation literally rebuilds the brain’s grey matter in just eight weeks. It’s the very first study to document that meditation produces changes over time in the brain’s grey matter. (1)

Another promising study has recently come out of the Benson-Henry Institute for Mind Body Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC). These researchers conducted the very first study where the use of the “relaxation response”was examined in patients with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), and the first to investigate the genomic effects of the relaxation response in individuals with any disorder. The report was published in the journal PLOS-ONE. (source)

When it comes to ‘prayer’ or ‘distant healing’ — directing human attention on physical systems — significant results have been obtained that warrant further investigation.

Spend time going within to find your heart’s desires. Most of you came into this incarnation with goals and desires to fulfill. By tuning into your Higher Self, you can remember what those wishes were and continue to map the trail of your life Path.

This can be accomplished after you have cleared the fears, negative thinking and reliance upon what others think of you. Until then, your messages will be skewed with stinking thinking and fear of moving forward. Break through the belief codes that bind you and keep you from expressing yourself freely.

Learn to pay attention to your body, for within its subtle talk lies the knowledge you seek.  Pay attention to aches and pains, gut feelings and bodily sensations. These are ways your body and inner guidance are attempting to communicate with you.

If something does not feel right, it is usually due to one of two things, you are either afraid on some level or it is not good for you. Breaking free from constraints due to fear and outside influences is important so you can tell the difference. Can you imagine living your life free from what might happen and what others might think of you? Would you enjoy making choices, knowing with certainty that these choices would lead you to the life you desire?

“It only takes one drink to get me drunk, but I can’t remember if it’s the thirteenth or fourteenth.” ~ George Burns (1896 – 1996)

Excessive alcohol consumption is often considered a central part of being social and having a good time. One of the reasons it is so popular is because so many people in today’s society are affected by stress and self-consciousness. And as alcohol is considered a legal, ‘socially acceptable’ substance that helps us to relax and lessen our inhibitions, it tends to be the drug of choice for many.

Unfortunately alcohol isn’t as innocuous as the playful, comforting advertising campaigns would like us to believe. It is a drug, after all. The damaging effects of excess alcohol go beyond the humiliation of doing something silly, like dancing on our boss’ desk at the annual Christmas party. Many studies have clearly demonstrated that alcohol can have extensive negative effects on our social, psychological and physical health.

Your experiences and your memories are completely unique to you.  No one in the history of your Earth-plane has ever experienced your life the way you have.  The good, not-so-good and indifferent are yours and yours alone.
The most wonderful part begins when you choose where to put your focus.  You can continue to punish yourself with the negative or focus on the amazing as a tool for further growth.  My beloved, whichever you choose has been and always will be supported by The Universe. ~ Creator

Dear Ones, we encourage you to think of your life expression as a buffet of experience. There are many, many options – some will appeal, others will not. You may try new things and love them, and try others and decide you do not like them at all. You may be in the mood for one thing one day, and a completely different option another day. No one is judging you, it is simply choice.

If you allow yourself to approach your life in such a way, you will give yourself permission to have a far broader spectrum of experience based on your unique personal preferences, which will allow you to further know yourself, and feel far more satisfied in your life expression. Allowing yourself to choose is giving yourself freedom to self express, which will always lead to expansion and growth, which is what your soul is naturally seeking.

Do you see? We are saying that you hold the keys to the freedom your soul craves, and you move into that freedom by honouring your true preferences and desires. ~Archangel Gabriel
