My dear friends, we love you so very much,

Take a deep breath and ask yourself a single question, "How has my life changed so far this year?" 

Try not to focus on how you perceive or imagine it has changed but rather how it has actually changed. Are you taking better care of yourself, or worse? Are you focused more on daily activities or more on the world?  Are you doing things that make you happy or not?  What positive changes have you made, no matter how tiny?

It is good every now and then to take a step back from the flurry of activity, take time in silence, and take stock of your life. What parts of your life please you? Which ones do not? And for the ones that do not, what would you prefer? It is never necessary to settle for what is less than desirable, dear ones. It makes sense to accept life in front of you here and now, but in the next breath, you can recalibrate your energy to improve. You can start to imagine how it would feel to walk without pain. You can imagine how it would feel to have a buffer in your bank account. You can imagine what it would be like to wake up feeling refreshed.

You only have to believe that the Presence that creates worlds can help and that you are worthy of receiving such help, for indieed you all are.  No matter how challenging your circumstance might feel, it is true that "with God, all things are possible."

Your "inventory" time should be a time to look at life and ask how you can enjoy it more or calibrate to better. Don't use your time spent in contemplation to beat yourself up. Perhaps nothing has changed since the beginning of the year. You may be just fine with that. If so, enjoy your life.  You may not be so fine with what you discover in your quiet time, but even that is OK. You have simply, intentionally, looked at the contrast that causes creation.  What would you like to create next? How can you tune your feelings to be consistent with what you wish for?

Sometimes, through habit or necessity, we get going so strongly that we forget to question whether or not we are happy and what we'd like to change.  If you notice that your house is a mess and you want to organize it but still have felt no impulse to do so, you can take a minute each day to breathe and imagine the wonderful feeling of being organized. As you tune into those feelings, you may feel motivated to do one simple thing, such as putting one thing in its place or discarding one item. Every lofty goal begins with an inspiration that encourages the tiniest steps. As you tune into the mess, you feel the mess and feel overwhelmed. As you tune into the feelings of relief and order, you see one thing you can make more orderly.  Your tuning affects your ability to receive the impulses for such small steps. And as you feel the satisfaction of one tiny step you are tuned in even more clearly to what you want.

Suppose you want to heal physically. The pain or problem is hard not to notice since you live in your body!  But you can imagine what it would be like to feel better. You can remember a time when you felt good. You can focus on things that feel good now, like time with friends or family. You can watch a video of healthy people and see if you can tune into how they feel if that works for you. Whatever you do, try to feel a little better so your body can carry on with its natural ability to regenerate. Perhaps in that better-feeling space, you'll find yourself suddenly stretching or breathing a little more deeply. It may seem like a small and inconsequential movement, but in reality, every little bit of extra circulation that reaches your cells supports them in their healthy function.

Dear friends, we have no judgment about how you want to live your life. You can enjoy what you have and ask for more. You can enjoy what you have and be content with it. You can be unhappy now and want more later, or if you truly wish, you can remain unhappy.  We do not judge. We love. But we do wish for you all you desire and more. We want you to know the Creator's love and allow it to mold, shape, and guide your life according to your own desires.  By taking time in silence and taking inventory of your life now and then, you give yourself an oppotunity to recalibrate and thus allow the natural loving impulses to reach you, guide you, help you, and heal you.  When it is time to act, you will be impulsed naturally, and until then, you can look forward with anticipation to the unfolding adventures in manifestation

God Bless You! We love you so very much.

Hi Everyone,

It is dusk on Monday night and I continue my new tradition of writing the newsletter on the patio. The sky just went from sapphire to deep cobalt blue, and the first stars are twinkling. A few birds are still awake and singing sweetly. The crickets are loud tonight in their vibrational chorus. There's still a very faint hint of orange blossom perfume in the air, and my hands smell like the lavender I picked a few moments ago. I stuffed the blooms into a mason jar and covered them with vodka to make a tincture that will become "lavender perfume!" over the next several weeks. All is well.

Of course there are plenty of things going on in my life and the worl that aren't as easy. A loved one ends every conversation short of breath and coughing. Another is recovering from heart surgery. Another is recovering from heart surgery. And another… That repetition was intentional. I have three dear ones whose beautiful hearts have been saved. I am grateful. I have the utmost respect for souls who bravely stayed when they could have shut the door to earth behind them. There is more love to be experienced here. Something in them knows it.

I shut my eyes and slip into the silence, allowing myself to be an open vessel for God's grace. And when I am filled with love, I think of these dear beings and allow the energy to flow through me to support their own light. Nothing we do can override someone's vibration but a sincere desire coupled with a willingness to receive can open you up to be a conduit for the light. As you receive you become a clear channel through which love flows. Feeling this energy, rather than focusing with fear, life is good.

And then there are the financial questions. I did some math the other day and realized that if I continue to work when it comes time to "retire" I will have to pay more taxes than I do now. Not thrilled. So I took a breath, sat in silence, and looked at the abundance of nature in the yard. The tomatoes are bursting with little green treasures. The primroses that blew in on the wind are blooming. The roses are in their glory this time of year. Marinating in the quiet energy of an abundant world, the thought comes that I could converse with AI and ask it to tutor me on such matters. An hour later I feel far more educated and prepared to talk with the knowledgable humans I know. In the peace, solutions are present. I feel blessed.

Silence can be blissful or it can be terrifying. In silence, your heart is honest. Your body is honest. Sometimes, the feelings are beautiful. You might feel overwhelmed with love, appreciation, or a quiet, grateful contentment. Sometimes, the feelings are difficult. You'll feel what you've been avoiding. Thoughts we don't like to admit we have may pop up:  "I'm not happy. I don't feel like me. What am I doing with my life. I'm overwhelmed. I don't feel I can cope. I feel out of control..." and so on.  The good news is that if you realize you're feeling those things, you can shift.

If such emotions run quietly beneath the radar, they'll screw up your manifestations, and you might into even realize it. A good, honest cry followed by "sitting, breathing, and receiving" from the angels can often be the shift you need to have life start flowing more easily. A heartfelt rant to heaven might be the thing that unburdens you from an anger you didn't know you were harboring so you can have the good or the healing energies flow. In all cases, the honest emotions you will feel in the silence are of great value to you moving forward.

There is plenty of insanity in the world and a lot to manage in my own life at present. A few weeks ago, when I felt completely fried, I realized I needed to return to the simple practice of taking a few minutes in silence every day. Whether it is breakfast on the patio or a few minutes before bed with all the devices put away and distractions set aside, this is precious time. I connect with my heart, see what needs attention, and recalibrate as needed. In silence, I realized I needed more potassium to help my nervous system manage the intense energies. In silence, I realized that my messy computer was a source of scattered focus. In silence, I feel a friend or family member in need and can pick up the phone and share some love.

Silence is golden and worth its weight in gold. Keeping our energy in a good space—in connection with love—is the most important thing we can do to ensure a smoother flow through life's challenges and a clearer path to what we desire.

What you see, can set you. What you feel will let you heal.

Here are a few tips to make use of even a few minutes of silence.

1. Be present

Look around at your surroundings. Really pay attention to them. Pay attention to your body. How does it feel. Breathe deeply. Notice the movement of air in your lungs. As if you are talking to someone else, ask yourself "How are you doing?" And then from your heart of hearts, give yourself an honest answer. No judgment. No wrong. Just information.

2. Hug Yourself

Wrap your arms around yourself and give yourself a big hug. It feels silly but the angels have recommended it through so many channels for years. It ends up there is science behind it. The simple act of giving yourself a hug will activate oxytocin in the body, a bonding chemical that helps you feel safe and loved. It engages the relaxation systems in the body, helps you ground yourself in space/time, and soothes emotional distress.

While hugs from others are wonderful, there is something incredibly empowering in knowing you can give this goodness to yourself in such a simple and yet profound way.

As you do it, feel what comes upl For some of you,it will inspire a deep joy. Others will breathe a sigh, or cry tears, of release. Just be with yourself, loving yourself, giving yourself the embrace of the Divine within. It is a simple but powerful tool.

3. Recalibrate if needed

If something is not OK in your life ask yourself, "What would I rather see?" or more powerfully, "Who would I rather be?" Imagine being that person.

I often ask myself, "Am I being the person I want to be?" Last weekend, when Excel was not behaving as advertised, I was not being the person I wanted to be. I was talking to an app, telling it how frustrating it was. That wasn't wasn't a great vibration for manifesting the peace and productivity I wanted. I took a breather, got a cup of tea, and reminded myself that these apps save me far more time than they waste. I went back renewed with ideas about working around the prioblem.

In silence, the heart speaks loudly. Sometimes you like what you feel,. Sometimes you don't. But in any case, the feelings are information to help you either amplify what is working in your life or recalibrate to allow something so much better.

I crave sweet silence these days. As I silence mouth and mind, I can hear the birds, the crickets, and the airplane overhead carrying people to some exciting destination. In this mental silence I hear my heart. I know what is working in my life and what need attention. In this silence, I am given an opportunity to recalibrate my energy before anything in life gets out of hand. Life is good.

We can let the world do its dance. We can allow others to be who they need to be. But every now and then, as we take a little vacation into the silence to take inventory of our homes, hearts, and lives, we reconnect with the Divinity within.  We "hear" the unspoken needs of the heart. We notice where we are not aligned with our desires. And without any judgment, we can feel into better futures. 

Taking a few precious minutes in silence will save you time, energy, hassle, and most importantly, will reconnect you with the Source within. You'll feel enlivened, inspired,and more energized.  To me, that is a great investment of time for a very large return.

Have a beautiful and blessed week,
Love,
Ann
