Bringing in the Light
Our soul needs love to thrive. Love from a relationship is wonderful, but it is not necessary for your soul. What your soul needs is daily love from yourself, and as often as possible, divine love from your planet and your spirit guides. Divine love and self-love are the fuels your soul craves, and they are the pathway to a beautiful, secure, and satisfying life.
Self-Love
Self-Love is about fulfilling your needs so that you can be satisfied, filled, and complete in every way.
Why Self-Love Matters:
Many people seek fulfillment, love, and satisfaction from others, yet this is an unbalanced an unreasonable expectation that places strain on our relationships and can breed resentment. Self-love is a daily practice in self-awareness, ensuring that we are first aware of what we need, and then taking the steps to meet that need for ourselves, whether it is a physical or emotional need.
Self-love is also about talking to ourselves the way we would want others to speak to us. This means becoming aware of our thoughts in order to rebuke and replace any thought about ourselves that is unkind or critical. This is a daily practice that takes time to integrate. Self-love is accepting that you will make mistakes, and that there is no such thing as perfection.
Self-love is about finding joy every single day. The soul longs to be joyful always, and so self-love is fulfilling the needs of the soul by regularly acknowledging and focusing upon that which brings you joy. Joy can be found in many aspects of daily living, it only takes awareness to enjoy these moments. This could include things like mindfully enjoying what you eat and drink, enjoying the sound of birds chirping, enjoying the way wind feels on your skin, enjoying the act of breathing, enjoying the temperature of water when you wash your hands, or enjoying mindful walking.
Body & Mind Stillness
A channeled message from Ra
“I am in the quiet. You must disconnect from what is going on in your 3D world to tap into my world. You must learn to sit in the quiet. You must learn to quiet your thoughts. It takes practice, you were not taught this when you were young. Quiet and calm are the doorways to my world. It waits for you, it always has and it always will. When you connect to this world, your view is lifted, so when you return to your viewpoint the happenings of the world seem a little less important, and your worries seem a bit smaller. In your brief visits with us, our energy of love and unity can sustain you. It can carry you forward where others will freeze up in fear. We are a source of life for you. During these difficult times, it is now that you need us the most. Quiet your mind so that we may connect once again. Even if you don’t hear us, we ARE connecting, and the connection grows stronger each time you spend time with us.”
Time in stillness, or meditation, is needed to clear your energy and connect you with the frequency of your spirit guides and your higher self. At first you may only hear the thoughts of your ego reminding you of things you need to do, or possibly even criticizing yourself. The voice of our egos is not helpful for accessing higher knowledge, so with time and practice you can learn to observe the thoughts from your ego, while placing them aside gently so that you can access a space where divine inspiration and knowing can step forward.
This is the space where messages can be received from the spirit world - as pictures, videos, ideas, words, and feelings. Some people may find they can access this space without meditation. Sometimes taking a walk, a shower, or driving is enough to access this space without body stillness and without a formalized approach.
Connecting With Your Spirit Guides
While there are many methods to help you connect, we would like to recommend this book from Debbra Lupien:
The Path To Hearing Angels & Guides
"You were born with the ability to hear and have two-way dialogs with your angels, there are just a few gaps in your understanding of the process.
That’s it, a few small gaps… and you can start filling them in — beginning today!
Your angels are anxiously awaiting the opportunity to be heard and will more than meet you halfway.
With a little help from your friendly angel team, transformation at a very deep level awaits you on The Path to Hearing Angels & Guides."
Joy
A channeled message from Divine
“Do not settle for a life that looks happy but is joyless. Joy is waiting for you now, you need no one’s permission. Explore, My Love. Go make choices, have an adventure that you don’t know how it ends. Life is your playground, look around at all the choices and go explore the ones that interest you. Discover and grow your joy as an act of love to yourself.”
A channeled message from Metatron
“Giving yourself moments of joy will refill your emotional tank and allow you more resilience as you navigate the difficulties of life. Immerse yourself in the things that make you laugh. Take a moment to dance, sing, or be silly. Listen to a song that fills you with joy. Joy does not cost a thing, and it is all around you, waiting to be scooped up and noticed and savored. Notice the little things that bring you a smile, notice the things that bring warmth to your heart or a squeal to your lips. Notice what it is that makes your heart tick, and give your heart more of that! Add more of those moments to your life.”
Joy looks different for everyone.
Trying new things can help you discover joys you didn’t know you had. Revisiting things that brought you joy in your childhood may also continue to bring you joy now. Some joys are quiet, and are as simple as recognizing the moment and absorbing the joy of the sensory experience:
How it feels to drink when you are thirsty
How it feels to put on a sweater when you are cold
Looking up at the stars or out on the ocean
Stretching
Petting an animal
Enjoying the smell of a candle, lotion, or food
