The best way to pay for a lovely moment is to enjoy it. ~ Richard Bach

Do you even remember the last time you felt sheer pleasure, or unmitigated glee? What is your most recent recollection of bubbling over with happiness? I mean, when you felt so giddy that your cheeks were glowing, your heart was thumping, and your eyes welled up with unfettered joy? If that hasn’t happened to you in the last little while (or even a very long while), don’t fret.

As John Barrymore once said, “Happiness often sneaks in a door you didn’t know you left open.” Chasing happiness isn’t really going to make it magically appear, but you can create the circumstances that ‘leave the door open’ to a joyful and meaningful life by setting the stage for happiness, and allowing it a grand entrance. You can feel happier right now, with these scientifically proven methods.

Mainstream Spirituality teaches us to be content with the way things are. I agree; to be awesomely okay with the moment brings with it not only the wholeness of surrender, but also a tremendous sense of well-being and aliveness. But if you then somehow curtail the natural arising of motivational soul, you limit the potential of all that you can be. Such denial can lead to subconscious frustration and sense of limitation.

We must allow the soul to breakthrough and break free – to fully express and be alive to the bounteous wonders of the moment. Those waiting for ‘it’ to arrive tomorrow may find that ‘it’ never comes at all…

Today, spiritual teachers seem to be a dime a dozen. Many of them are asking for large amounts of money in return for the spiritual teachings that historically were freely passed down from teacher to student.

Many of these teachers offer a solution that involves joining an exclusive community or cult-like group that has been formed around the so-called spiritual teacher. The message is: “join my community and pay me large amounts of money and enlightenment will surely be yours.” When in reality it is a trap that involves manipulation and control.

To be seen and heard; See yourself as whole and complete and the world will
see you that way. Speak your truth from the heart with strength and meaning – the world will listen. ~ Creator

We understand that the constant energetic changes you are going through can seem intense and fatiguing. It helps if you can remember that they are completely transformative in nature, and a necessary part of the process that is occurring on your planet. In fact, they are assisting you by moving energies up and out in a much faster and more efficient manner than if you were attempting to release them on your own.

This explains why many of you are feeling like not much is happening on one hand, and on the other, feeling like things are moving very quickly. You are in an accelerated time, and what is occurring internally will be reflected in your physical reality, as your external world will always respond to your internal changes.

We understand that from your perspective it may seem difficult, but we would like to point out that the true discomfort has come from the centuries of resistance and victim consciousness you have already endured. This, truly, is what you have been waiting for, evolving into the empowered version of yourself, and it is a glorious time, indeed. ~Archangel Gabriel

Our bodies are made up of seven energy centers, called chakras, and each chakra is responsible for a different aspect of our lives. Our “grounding center” is the root chakra (also called muladhara). This chakra is located at the base of our spine.

The root chakra is the first chakra, and it is responsible for providing the foundation upon which we build our lives. When balanced, the root chakra provides a feeling of security and trust. It roots you to the earth, allowing you to feel grounded, supported and cared for.

When the root chakra is underactive, you will likely feel a lack of protection or safety, a feeling of uneasiness or fearfulness, or even an inability to provide for your basic needs.
