The following prayer from Ascended Master Jesus and Archangels Chamuel, Jophiel, and Michael is for healing the heart. I hope it fills your heart with love and peaceful reassurance that you are deserving of love in all ways.

Dear God, Angels of the Love and the Light,

Please help me to release the pain in my heart. I'm ready to make a change. I'm ready to let go of unhealthy relationships in my life. I'm ready to set healthy boundaries with people who dim my light, taking me further from you and my highest purpose. I'm ready to choose me. I'm ready to choose love and happiness.  

I ask you to fill my heart with your love. Help me to trust that letting go of the past and unhealthy relationships is necessary for my continued growth and development. I give Archangel Michael permission to cut any karmic cords to people who hold me back from realizing my greatest potential in this life and past lives, in all space and time.  

 
I am worthy of love. I am loved. I am love. I share my love with others and I open my arms and heart to receive love.   

Waves of love wash over me, clearing my heart of any sadness, regret, disappointment, or hurt in this life and past lives, in all space and time.

I am loved in all ways, in all things, no matter what past choices I have made. I am always embraced and filled with your love.

And so it is. Amen.

As 2011 comes to a close the hope of a new year and new beginnings are upon us. I wish you the very best in the coming year. A year of peace, love, and prosperity beyond your wildest dreams. Make a wish and know the whisper of your heart has been heard by the angels and will be granted in divine time, for your very highest and best.

Here is a prayer for new beginnings and brighter tomorrows.      

Dear God and the Angels of Love and Light,   

I pray for a year of new beginnings and forward progress on my spiritual journey. I ask you to open my heart and my mind. I give my cares and worries to you, and I trust that you will resolve everything in divine time as it is meant to be. I relinquish control of the outcome to you.

I thank you for the gifts in each day and each moment. I am present in the here and now as I learn my lessons and grow in your enduring love. I thank you for your constant guidance in my life and I promise to follow my heart as I know it will always lead me home.

Thank you for the blessings of joy, peace, and love you have already given me. I thank you with loving gratitude for the blessings I am about to receive, beyond my wildest expectations. I thank you for this day and the new year that awaits. You know the dreams of my heart and you bring me closer to them each day.

I ask that I may share your love and light with others. That I may bring healing and compassion to everyone I meet.      

Blessed Be. And so it is. Amen.

Halloween is a special time of year, when the veil between heaven and earth is especially thin. The idea that we can communicate with spirit on Halloween is very real and very exciting. But the truth is we, you and I, have the ability to speak with our loved ones in Spirit every day -- Not just on Halloween.

You may be wondering, "How is that possible?" It's simple really. All you have to do is quiet your mind and invite your loved ones close. Then be ready to honor and acknowledge any and all impressions you receive from Spirit.

As soon as you give your loved ones in Spirit the green light to start communicating with you, watch out, you will be hearing from them. The truth is, they have more than likely already been trying to get your attention but you may have been too busy to notice. Or if you did, you might have explained it away with logic, saying something like, "No, this can't be real. My imagination is just making this up."

Guess what. It's not your imagination. Spirit is speaking to you. The angels and your loved ones already hear your prayers and dreams. Now take a moment to listen to their responses with an open heart and mind. The gift of speaking with our loved ones in Spirit is just that -- a gift.

Our loved ones in Spirit will speak to us in many ways. They may visit you in your dreams or you may hear their voice in your head when you ask a question. You may find pennies or feathers on the ground or in unexplainable places like on the kitchen floor or in the bathtub. Or you may feel a cool breeze when there is no wind. You might smell flowers where there are none. Or you might feel a soft kiss on your cheek when you physically don't see anyone standing in front of you. These are all ways that spirit will communicate with us. Rest assured, your loved one in Spirit will know just the right way to get through to you.

If you have fear about speaking with your loved ones, please don't. The angels assure us there is nothing to be afraid of. Speaking with our loved ones is safe. And if it makes you feel better to call in extra protection, feel free to call on Archangel Michael. He will act as a bouncer at a night club, making sure that only the highest and the best people in Spirit get through to you. You can also envision yourself wrapped in a pink blanket of love from the angels. This magical blanket will make sure that only loving energies will surround you.

Take a moment now to speak with your loved ones in Spirit. All you have to do is pick up the phone. If you listen closely I know you'll hear it ringing. Archangels Gabriel and Azrael are standing by to put your call through to heaven. All you have to do is tell them the name of the person with whom you'd like to speak. And don't worry, there are no roaming fees or long distance charges, so call as often and speak as long as you like. The angels are ready and waiting to assist.

When you hear the word "forgiveness" who do you think of? Are you ready to forgive yourself or another? If you are, this prayer from Archangel Jehudiel, known as the bearer of God's merciful love, may help. Simply read the prayer with an open heart and let Spirit take care of the rest. Recite as needed.     

Dear God, please help me to forgive (insert name) for (his/her) past grievances against me. I now realize that holding this grudge in my heart only burdens me. I no longer wish to carry this pain or to hold on to this anger. Please help me to cut the cords to this unhealthy relationship and release the pain associated with this memory. I ask that healing and love fill my heart. I see myself bathed in waves of healing pink light. I give my pain to God and the angels for healing and transmutation. I thank Spirit for this opportunity to learn about myself and I acknowledge my role in this experience. I forgive (insert name). I release any pain associated with this memory. I am filled with God's peace and love. I am healed and my heart is light. And so it is. Amen.

Balance is more important than you realize. It is the golden thread in the earth’s delicate tapestry that connects everyone and everything. Without balance there is only chaos – a world where everything is turned upside down, where logic and natural law does not apply.

For balance to exist there must be polar extremes. Without balance there would be no light and dark; you would not know love or hate. There could be no justice without injustice.

It is a world of balance that we seek. A world of choices. It would be impossible to appreciate or express your free will if there was no balance.

In your quest for balance you must contemplate your choices. It is your choices that define you as humans. Your entire human condition is made up of choices. Do you choose happiness or pain? Do you choose abundance or lack? Do you choose love or loneliness? Are you worthy of being loved and living a life of joy?

Being a light in this world is a choice. Please do not hate or resent the life that you have chosen but rather see the beauty in every moment.

If you need help seeing the beauty in your life simply ask. We can help you see the lives you have touched. The people you have helped. We can help you choose a life of prosperity and abundance. If you don’t like your life it’s up to you to change it. And of course, dear one, you do this by choosing to change it.

When you are faced with darkness – choose the light. We will never leave your side. We will walk with you every step of your miraculous journey.

We ask you to honor this beautiful body and the life you’ve been given. You have no idea how many others only wish they could be in your shoes. How many others you actually beat out to come to this planet and experience life in the human form. Yes, your life is a gift.

Please call on me, the angels, God, and others on your spiritual support team when your life feels at odds. Call on us when you need help getting out of bed in the morning; when you are overwhelmed with grief and despair. We will guide you. Yes, we will be your champions for peace. We will shine our light, our eternal and all encompassing loving light into your heart and before you.

Please take a moment to look inward at your own life. Where do you need balance? Where do you need to see the light?

As you answer these questions visualize me and hundreds of angels shining our light, our love and healing energy into your heart. You are so important dear one. Let us help you shine the light in the deepest and darkest corners of your experience. Let us help you to forgive yourself and others for past pains so that you may move forward in your light and in love.

All you need do is ask. Invite us into your heart in the morning and before you go to sleep at night. When faced with a question ask us to help you choose the light – choose love.

We all have something we’re working towards – a healthy relationship, living our passion, honoring ourselves.

What holds us back from achieving these goals? What holds us back from spreading our wings?

Is it fear -- fear of failing, not being good enough, being alone?  Do we not deserve to be happy?

It’s true that fear and challenging times are often opportunities for growth and certainly do “make us stronger” as the saying goes. But do we really need to keep learning the same lesson over and over again?

The answer is no. The only real secret is that we have always held the key to our freedom. We all have a divine purpose and contribution to make in this world. All we have to do is listen and act upon the divine guidance we receive from spirit.

God and the angels don’t want us to suffer or play the victim longer than we need to.  But how long we play that role is up to us. How long we let fear hold us silent and frozen in our path is up to us.

It is quite a gift to know that the only thing we need to do to move forward is simply open the door and walk through it.

Take a moment now and think of a time in your life when you faced your fear and walked through the door to the unknown.  Did you find strength and courage you never knew you had?  Did it feel like you were being helped by something greater than yourself – by spirit?  What incredible synchronicities and gifts were bestowed upon you as you started a new chapter in your life?

It can be an amazing journey when we reflect upon our life and begin to see the many blessings and experiences we have been given – just when we needed them, just when we asked for them, just when we were ready to receive.

The next time you are faced with a challenging situation step back and realize the way to move forward is though the door, by putting one foot in front of the other.

See yourself stepping through the doorway now.  As you do, look over your shoulder and wave to your guides, guardian angels, deceased loved ones, and God. They are cheering you on every step of the way.

Live your life with purpose. Live in a way that brings light to others. Share your light with the rest of the world.

It doesn’t matter whether you’re a stay-at-home mom, pipe fitter, window washer, CEO, or the president of the United States -- the difference starts with each one of us. 

It can be as simple as smiling at someone you don’t know; saying hello to the shy person in the office; picking up trash in your community; grocery shopping for a friend who is going through a difficult time; babysitting for a new mom; or taking the time to listen to what someone has to say. 

The ways we can make a difference are endless.

Take a moment now and think of a time in your life when someone helped you. How did it make you feel?  Were you grateful?  Were they an angel for you? 

Many years ago my grandmother and I were driving into the city to see my Aunt and Uncle.  It was late and dark and we were lost.  We pulled into a rest area not knowing where we were or how we were going to get there – this was long before cell phones and GPS. 

It was at this moment that a man with unkempt hair and clothes approached our car.  He looked like he was down on his luck and possibly homeless. My grandmother immediately told me to lock my door as she cautiously rolled down her window. 

“Can I help you?” said the man. My grandmother responded, “We’re lost.”

The man warmly smiled and gave my grandmother directions.  She feverishly memorized every word and thanked him.  As we pulled away she asked God to bless him.  Less than an hour later we made it to my Uncle’s house. 

That night, this random person we had never met became our angel.  

Who can you be an angel for today? All it takes is a little kindness. And don’t forget, showing kindness to yourself counts too! ☺

“Be the change you want to see in the world.” -- Mahatma Gandhi

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.” -- Margaret Mead

Silence. 

When was the last time you sat in complete silence? You consciously made an effort to turn off the television, your cell phone, iPod, and simply close the door to outside noise and distractions.  When was the last time you simply were?

Silence can be a scary thing.  Think about it.  Why else would we go through so much trouble to drown out the voice of our inner self and God?

If you took the time to sit in silence daily what would you hear?  What would your higher self tell you?  What would your guides, guardian angels and deceased loved ones want you to know?

Would they tell you it’s time to move on from an unhealthy relationship?  Or maybe the relationship that needs work is the one you have with yourself?  Do you take time for you?  Do you do things that make you happy?  Are you happy with where you are in your life?  Do you know who you are?

The answers we seek aren’t in the noise we so ardently create.  They aren’t in the walls we build around our hearts. Instead, the answers are like embers in a fire, steadily burning softly within, waiting to be ignited by the courage to live our passion.

Who are you? What are your gifts? How can you live your passion? What are your next steps?

Although the journey may be difficult at times, the person you discover may very well be the person you always knew you could be.

Go on, go ahead and try.

Sometimes we wait for a sign and we feel like it doesn’t come.  Why hasn’t God answered my prayers?  Why isn’t he listening?

The truth is that sometimes the answer is the non-action, or what we believe to be the absence of a sign.  Sometimes not getting what you asked for speaks just as loud, if not louder, than if you had received your sign—if you’re willing to listen.

We must trust. What does that mean? Trust in the divine timing of the universe, that everything does happen exactly as it is meant to happen, when it is meant to happen.

Doing things on time should not be the priority.  Time does not really exist—it is nothing more than an illusion.  Let go of time and trust that everything will come as it is meant.

When you are wrapped up in time and worrying about the future you forget to enjoy the here and now.  We ask you to stop and listen.  Hear the birds chirping, the wind rustling through the trees and the gentle dance of a leaf as it makes its way to the ground.  Enjoy the warm smile of a stranger, the playful laugh of a child; let your heart be one with the moment.

Enjoy the here and now.

You ask how can I become the person I want to be?  You become the person you want to be by doing what makes you happy.  It really is that simple.

Let go of time, and restraints on your time that don’t really exist.  You have free will and the power to choose how you spend your time, so spend it wisely.

Spend your time with people you love, doing things that make you happy.  And one day, when time has passed, you will wake up, look around and realize—you have become the person you have always wanted to be.  Of course, not on your time, but on God’s time.

Ask the angels to help you release your cares and worries about the future. Ask us to help you find the time to do the things you’ve always wanted to do, but keep putting off for another day. 

We love you very much and want you to be happy.  Ask us to bring joy into your life, love into your heart, and peace of mind knowing you’re doing exactly what you’re supposed to be doing in this moment of time.

All you have to do is ask.  We are only a thought away.

God bless you.
