Dear Angels, 
"I am in daily prayers with my Angels and very grateful for all their help and guidance, but I need an abundance of financial wealth to help my family through a rather difficult situation. Please Angels help me."  Justine, Greenwick, UK


Dear Justine,
Your heart and prayers are in the right place. I see that you work diligently and share what little you have willingly.  Your assessment is correct.  Your family is barely keeping things together. Someone has probably lost their job and so money is very tight. When there is not enough money to go around, we all do the same thing. We become obsessed with the idea of creating money.  Deepak Chopra says that "No one thinks about money more than the poor, except the rich."

The challenge is that what we obsess about increases.  The tighter hold your family maintains on their idea of no money, the less money materializes, and the more discouraging and depressing it becomes.  

The Angels are sharing that the lesson for us all now is to trust in the Unseen, the God Source. To trust that everything will work out if we are willing to change our opinions and ideas about what we deserve and what we are willing to do to earn a living. The more we get caught up in our ego's panic, the deeper the hole we dig for ourselves.  

We are all learning the same lessons with different scenarios.  One lesson is to ask and trust in the Divine, as you are doing, and in that place, somehow, somewhere, something will change to get us through. Two is to expect and hold that picture of something positive, feeling your envisioned, positive results in your heart and mind. And three, is to take action.  Visualizing all day won't get you far without taking steps in the physical to move forward.

We are all learning how to create our lives through connecting with the God Source, intending the best, and taking action based on our intention.

Dear Angels,
"I have been told by many people that I am psychic and supposed to be able to communicate with the spirit world as a psychic medium. I've been raised in Utah and submerged in the Mormon culture, so this information blows me away.  Am I supposed to learn how to reawaken my gifts to become a psychic medium, or is it just a fluke that all these different strangers are telling me the same thing?"  Diane, Bountiful, UT

Dear Diana,
My first comment is, "Oh boy!"  What a challenge you have given yourself.  Your Angels say you are not much interested in making waves within a community that has brought you great joy and abundance on many levels.  To move in the direction of psychic medium, and of course all mediums are psychic unless they are fraudulent, you will have to speak out. This will bring up many issues with those you respect and love, because this ability goes against the very core of the teachings of the church. 

Just because you have an ability, does not mean you have to live it.  I have been told many times that I could be an artist. "Wow!" is my response.  I am unaware of this ability, and just because I have been told, does not mean I have to do it.  I have other things on my mind.
 
What I see about you is that the Mormon teachings are imbedded in every fiber of your being.  Your Angels are clear that no one "has" to do anything.  Perhaps at a later date, you might cross that line when you are ready.  And if you never are, that is fine as well. You are a being of free choice.

If you are interested, you might peruse some quantum physics for laymen. What you'll learn is that our scientists saw the world through the inverted binoculars of the third dimension. This led to misconceptions. The misconceptions led to misinformation. What we were all taught as hard science, had at its base the incorrect assumption that every valid scientific study must be reproducible in the physical. Now physicist show us a world that is immaterial;  i.e. a non-physical world.

There is no right or wrong for you. If you want to trudge through deep snow and allow your natural abilities to emerge in a community where you may be shunned, it is an option. If you are considering moving out of your community anyway, then play with your abilities and see what comes up. 

There's one more option. Maybe today is not right for you.  Think of this as the ability to create music. This is not a life or death decision.  Maybe in ten years you will choose differently. The Divine loves you unconditionally.

Dear Angels,
"In my beloved profession of art, there is little or no stability... But, I'd like to know how I can make the most out of every single day on earth, and not simply wait around for others to embrace work and me. I need more. I need the universe inside of me. Is that a false fullness I am looking for?

With so many happy elements in my life, I'm not sure what's missing.  I'd like to connect, yet meditation continues to be a struggle.  Will you kindly ask my ancestors, my angels, my animals, my guides, to please show me the way?"  Stacey, San Diego, CA

Dear Stacey,
I want to meet this wonderful person you seem to be.  I feel your angst and at the same time you make me laugh.  If you have never read Rumi or Hafiz, you may not know you are asking the age-old questions of "Who am I? How do I fit in the bigger picture? How do I find God?"

Your Angels point out that in case you haven't kept up with the news for the last year or two, there is no stability in the world. The rules are changing.  You artists are leading the way. It is time for us all to follow our hearts, to listen to our inner selves and to let our souls speak through what we love, not through how much money and power we can create.  "The one with the most wins," is no longer a viable option.

You already know this, but what you might not know is that you, on the "alternate" path of an artist, are leading the way for the  rest of us. It is your passion for what you do naturally, that is the benchmark for others to follow. Up until now, money governed our world.  We are moving into love governing our world through acceptance of ourselves and others and our unique abilities.

You already have the Universe inside of you. You are born with it. The Universe is carried within you from birth to death and onward.  The Divinity is part of us all. The way we connect with this pulse of real life, is to do what we love. You are already doing that. Meditation is wonderful, but when you express your art, you are in a meditation.  Ideas flow to you. You are connected to your inner Wisdom.

If you would like to increase your abilities to connect consciously, it is quite simple. Just ask before you pick up your clay or your brush. Ask your Angels, guides and muses of the Light, to guide your hand and your heart to express your intention to the fullest.  You are already where you want to be. The only thing missing is your acceptance of yourself.

Dear Angels,
"Will my present problems be solved without making further ones?  Thank you with love."  Rose, Wigan, ENG

Dear Rose,
What your Angels are showing me is that you have been in hiding, hoping that if you tiptoe around you will be able to maintain the status quo.  Unfortunately, the status quo was not beneficial for you.

You've been afraid to be yourself and only now are beginning to let go of a relationship that no longer works.  You were pretending to yourself that everything was okay until that self-deception was no longer possible. You are finished with this pretense now and as you gradually learn to accept what is, will be able to move forward in a positive way.

It looks as if there have been many changes in your life and like many of us, you find change unsettling and frightening.  Your Angels are indicating it is time for you to find a way to release your stress.  Can you create some quiet space to unwind? Your body has been holding you tightly and needs time to heal from this blow to your heart.

As you evolve out of this situation by getting out of the way, and allowing justice to lead, you will return to the old Rose, only even better. Heartbreak is part of life, but while you pretend that you are okay when you are not, the only person you are fooling is yourself.

Your challenge and the way to move on in a positive way with your life is to allow yourself to own your own value. By that your Angels mean that you must begin to allow yourself to be who you are. It's about self-acceptance, something many of us struggle with in life.  If you are involved in litigation, you must stand up for yourself and see yourself getting a fair deal, because you can. 

Dear Angels,
"Can you tell me how to open up and communicate more intuitively to the angels and hear their answers? And what talents or gifts do I have and can you tell me how to develop them to help others?  Ruby, Emmitsburg, MD


Dear Ruby,
I don't know if I can do all of this in a couple of paragraphs, but we'll at least get started.

First of all, I will be doing a teleclass on How to Ask for and Receive Guidance to help you and all the others who have asked in March.  So many have asked that it must be time! 

In the meantime, asking for guidance is simply about practice.  My first suggestion is to ask about everything, from buying a new blouse to what to do about family, friends, money, job...  It's all about your willingness to practice. "Ask and you'll receive" is the truth, but it takes consistent practice to improve and especially to learn to listen. Listening requires an often unused set of skills that require patience, determination and the creation of a quiet space to hear the answer.

Another thing about receiving guidance from the Angels, it will all come easier if you ask about inconsequential things that don't matter.  Most of us cry out in desperation and the rest of the time we wing it on our own. The problem is that when we are desperate, we are so filled with worry that our heads are clouded and we cannot hear an answer. The key is to practice. Learn to ask about the "dumbest" things;  i.e., "It is better for me to eat the salad or the grilled cheese?" Just because you hear, "the salad," doesn't mean you have to do it. Acknowledge to yourself that you heard the answer and make the choice.  Just practice so you begin to open the channel.
 
As for your talents and gifts, it is all easier than you think.  Pay attention to what you love to do. Pay attention to when you feel fulfilled. What makes you happy? What creates admiration in others about you?  What I see about you is that you are tired of bumping your nose on what doesn't work for you.  You are ready to move into the next stage or certainly take steps to create something new and fulfilling in your life.  Whatever you have done in the past is either over or you are done with it mentally and emotionally.  You have accomplished what some take lifetimes to do. You have let go!  Big applause here from the angelic realm. 

You are a heart-centered person and will succeed not only for you but in a larger way, where your work influences others positively. This is an important part of life for you. Climbing on someone else's back to get where you want to go, is not you. You have a humanitarian heart that encourages you to move forward in something that grabs your interest and helps others. In doing what makes your heart sing, others will gravitate toward you to create a winning situation for all.

Many hold on forever to their current situation, like an animal with it's foot caught in a trap. In fear, we are unable to go anywhere.  You have accomplished the letting go. Open the gates. You're ready! 

Dear Angels,
(A young military widow is grieving for her recent loss of her "fallen soldier" husband.)
"Why is such an emphasis put on marriage if it means nothing once you're dead?  When I die, and we are reunited, will we remember that we were married?"  Nicole, Huntsville, AL

Dear Nicole,
Your Angels piped up instantly with "Who says marriage means nothing?"  Love is the answer to most anything on earth, and marriage is a good example. In a long-term marriage, we can have different interests, but our love and commitment hold us together. I am sure you did not want to let go of your husband, but you have been given no choice.  He had selected a life-threatening occupation and you are left to rebuild your life.

If you are asking if marriage should be able to spare you from the trials and pain of life in a body, the answer is obviously not.  What the experience does do is remind us that our connection with the Divine remains, no matter what. Even while we rail and cry, the God Source maintains unconditional love.  Does this remove the pain? Not until in desperation we surrender to God and ask for help.  What I see about you is your loss left you feeling split in half, as a part of you died along with him. Your challenge now is to bring back gradually, your zest for life and allow yourself to dream of a joyful future.  The dream is not about forgetting your husband, rather it is honoring the love that you two had together and allowing yourself eventually to fall in love once again. What we often forget in life is that learning to love one person teaches us how to love another, and another, and another.

The commitment of marriage is a demanding one because it involves years within the confines of what we think of as "the rules."  However, rules go along with our linear thinking.  We have set up our world based on either/or, both of which demand judgment.  Judgment goes with the body. In the afterlife, we continue without a body, where you are given the opportunity to heal and live in unconditional love.

No matter where your life leads you, you will see and remember the love the two of you shared when you were together. In death, you will know that you were married. You will remember the feelings of love that filled you both. That love continues but not in a restrictive way. Love can only expand. When love appears to constrict, it is not real love.  Love with judgment is not the love of the Divine.  It is love interpreted by the ego and our false idea of what we think love is. 

For those who read this and misinterpret what the Angels are saying, this is not about having sex with more people even while married. Instead this is loving all life from your heart. Sex is easy. Keeping open your heart to our differences is the challenge. 

Dear Angels,
"Am I and my ego on the right path to serve souls, helping other to expand their consciousness?"
Angel, Caracas, VE

Dear Angel,
It is obvious you are well-intentioned but it appears as if you have spent many hours being quiet  deliberately, perhaps meditating.  What you seem to be missing is the "get up and go," the drive to take action.   Often what we spiritual people forget is that we are in a body for a reason.  You may be very comfortable praying but not so comfortable taking risks.

Your Angels are suggesting that you are a compassionate woman who can make things happen, but only if you come out of hiding and take action.  Look within yourself to see if there is not a man in your life who has controlled you in such a way that you felt that your thoughts and ways of doing things were wrong, or at least didn't count.  The challenge for you is to own your personal power not by telling others what to do, but rather by expecting the best of them and leading the way through your own behavior. 

If you have been waiting for someone else to light your path, your Angels suggest it is time for you to create goals for yourself and to come into your body long enough to implement them.  Then you will be helping others as well as yourself by expanding your own consciousness.  Remember, everything is always about us.  This is wonderful when we're going for ice cream;  not so great when we feel a little stuck.

Dear Angels,
"What should I do to invoke my inner strength and not let my stuff live inside of me any more?  I've tried belief changing, affirmations, etc.  What do my Angels know I can do to change my internal landscape?  I want to let myself shine and reach my goals but I know that I am internally fighting with myself..."  Kristina, Corvallis, OR

Dear Kristina,
Your Angels show me that you do everything possible to pull yourself together, but your self-defeating thoughts yank you back into what you think is reality. It looks as if someone, probably your Father, is an abusive alcoholic and never let up on you.

As a child, you were without power. As an adult, you can choose not to be in his presence, to move away, not to talk to him. Being loving does not mean that we put ourselves continually in a position that leaves us battered, which I think you know already.

The challenge for you is that you have internalized his attacks so that your little kid within believes them.  She is hoping she can make things different. She is not the one with the power however. You, the adult Kristina,  have the power in The Power, now, today, in spite of what you think.

If you haven't joined an Al Anon group, you might release your resistance and give it a try. They are all different with the same core values.  The idea is you attend several and find one that resonates with you. Life is not a quick-fix. It is a series of one baby step ahead of another and remembering to congratulate yourself for creating the smallest action toward mental health. In an Al Anon group, you will hear yourself think and speak. As we listen to others, we can release our resistance to an acceptance of what we have created for our life and begin to turn the corner into empowerment.

You are not crazy. You have learned to live on the edge. Now it is time to come back into balance in the center.  You can do this or you would not be asking for help today. As I think you know, we are all being given the opportunity to release our old fears so that we can move into the Light in this body and create the life we deserve.

In case you have forgotten, you are deeply and totally loved. You can choose to ignore it, but you can never turn it off.  It exists in spite of you and because of you.

Dear Angels,
"This man, Len, whom I've known for 20 years and I dated once, haunts me.  When I'm in a relationship, he's not;  when he is, I'm not. He's showing up in my dreams and it's driving me crazy!

"I know he's with someone, but is miserable. Our mutual friends tell me he's too shallow and only wants "perfect" girls. I don't see this side of him. I would like to know the extent of his feelings for me. Is there anything between us or am I daydreaming?"  Sharlene, Huntington Beach, CA

Dear Sharlene,
Your Angels show me that you are coming out of a tough place where you've been sad, even depressed.  Now you are beginning to think about finding someone wonderful to begin life again.

Your friend, Len, seems to have a caring woman with him already but he wasn't able to connect with her because he never gave their relationship his "all."  By that I mean, he might say the right things to get what he wants and then withdraws his energy.  He likes to have a good time.

When I ask how he sees you, he would love to begin a sexual relationship with you. He doesn't see you as a life partner, but rather someone either religious or spiritual who has her own ideas about what should be done and what he needs to do;  i.e., wanting to control things from your perspective. Of course we all want to do this, but this is what has come up for him.

And one more...when I ask if you were together, how would it evolve for you both?  You would be okay with it, but your practical side would come up because you like to have a little security. Nothing about undying love from your side. From his, he would be crazy and want to escape. For some, the words security and commitment imply imprisonment.  Perhaps he is one of these people.

Dear Angels,
"How can I best help my great-granddaughter, Hannah?" Cathy, Solana Beach, CA

Dear Cathy,
You seem to be a gentle woman who has managed to create a balanced life for the most part. Now, however, you are definitely stressed.  Things are changing which often puts us on edge.

It appears as if Hannah is not well.  All you can do is watch and offer any help you have available, whether it is time or money or just love, which is the biggest gift.  I see that you offer that already.
Even though you are not in close physical contact, your Angels are saying that your willingness to hold Hannah in your heart, and to see her as whole and healthy, will help her in a way that is difficult to understand when we are in a body.  We only see through the five, sometimes, six senses. We are so much more powerful than we imagine.

There is nothing to do except hold the space of Unconditional Love.  Imagine dear Hannah surrounded in the Light, safe and secure.  Remember that a body is the container of the soul when on earth. Things happen to our bodies while our souls can remain unscathed, even purified, especially if surrounded in the Light.  That is your job.
