Dear friends, we love you so very much!
Understand that there is great and glorious change going on upon your planet earth. Rather than falling into despair, realize it is time for celebration, for God is in charge, and all of you are being moved towards greater joy. "But how can this be?" you say when you lose a job, a house, or simply don't have a clue how to proceed. Dear friends, we understand your concerns, but we have a bigger picture of your lives than perhaps the one you can see at this moment.

God loves you, dear ones. If you lose a job, then rest and relax assured that God has a better one in store for you. Search for a new one by all means, but first take the time to look deeply into your own heart and clarify what it is you are truly looking for. Search your soul, discover your truth, and own this deeply - then the universe can bring you the honest echo of your true heart's desires. Frantically searching for a way to just make money will assist you in fulfilling your human needs, but does not ever satisfy the soul, and the lesson will repeat until you are willing to dive into your hearts and acknowledge the truth within.

If you have lost a house dear ones, realize you are only being guided in new directions. Perhaps this will simplify your life, or pull your family together to pool its resources and talents. Perhaps you will live with someone else and make peace, or maybe you will be guided to discover new friends. Perhaps you will move and find greater joy in a new location. Perhaps the strength you find will be something you turn to gold later in your life. Rather than judging yourself or the situation trust there is a bigger picture that will reveal itself in time.

If you are worried about your stocks, place greater stock in God's ability to take care of you and refuse to be drawn into panic. By all means be prudent according to the rules of your world, but make your decisions based on both this wisdom and a faith in God and your ability to listen to your internal guidance, rather than making poor decisions based in fear.

If you are worried about your children, remember they were God's children first, before they came into your lives, and He cares about them more deeply than you ever can imagine. Rather than polluting their reality with your fears, gift them with your hopes and dreams for their future and even more importantly with your willingness to listen to their own hopes, dreams, and fears, and your unconditional love.

If you are worried about your health or the health of friends realize that your planet earth is in a time of change and there are many physical symptoms resulting from any minor imbalance in spirit, so please do rest, and be kind to your bodies. Remember the body is a reflection of the spirit and any illness of discomfort therein was either a choice the soul made to learn from, or the result of a fears and misunderstandings about love. Choose to be very kind to yourself, to take care of yourself, to love yourselves and to make peace with your bodies, for they are not your foes but rather your friends.

Dear ones each and every one of your worries has a spiritual solution that, if you embrace, will lead to a solution in your physical world. Whenever you have a 'problem' in the world, look first to see what there is to be learned. Search your heart and see where you may have been denying your expression, your truth, or your deepest desires. Bless the "problem" for what it has taught you then when you have learned, ask it to be transformed into a situation filled with greater truth that reflects your new awareness. Be patient. Trust.

These are challenging times upon your planet earth but also times of grand and glorious opportunity if you choose to live life in alignment with your spirit and ultimately in alignment with God.

Learn to be still and to listen to the voice of God as it whispers in your own heart. It is there that you begin to transform your outer reality, to detach from the world's ills, and to live in the flow of Divine grace.

We love you so very much.
-- The Angels

Message from Ann

Hi All! My goodness, growth is going around these days! Focusing on God's guidance within is the only thing that works anymore. The old human strategies and manipulations just aren't working. When I agreed with the heavens to teach my upcoming class "Heaven and Earth" I knew in my heart that one of the few areas where I wasn't experiencing heaven yet was in my physical body. I suspected I'd be learning a few things along the way about releasing old patterns and allowing heaven to move into my body as well as my mind and emotions. After all I've been happier than ever before, but physically, well, a bit of a train wreck as of late!! I've been in knots, ribs have popped out, my neck was out and I KNEW that something inside of me that was not my truth was hanging on for dear life, trying to keep me from moving forward. And while I am doing most of the 'right' things physically, I knew that until I solved the spiritual issues, this was going to continue.

Since I was feeling as if I had a blind spot in this area, I got a session with my friend Summer (www.summerbacon.com) who channels Dr. Peebles in spirit. He can always nail the issues I can't quite see. I was told that since I'm now living mostly in alignment with my heart and God's guidance I'm taking better care of myself emotionally and mentally than ever before. But, the angels continued, that brings up loads of old anxieties in my subconscious that have had my body all twisted up. When I've disappointed or upset people in the past they've hurled unkind comments and behaviors my way and my being so psychic and sensitive, that hurt as much as if I'd been punched. Of course, the angels reminded me, that I took this unkindness into myself, and I didn't have to. I was the one who felt I SHOULD please everyone and so I was the one that accepted the 'punishments' for not doing so. My body wasn't too happy with all this and was just twisting up and protecting itself from MY ego's need to accept people's upsets. Ah ha!! Problem solved. I resolved that from now on I would ignore any unkind comments and walk away from any upsetting behaviors. I apologized to my body for putting up with such nonsense in the past and made a pact not to do so in the future. And suddenly my body breathed a HUGE sigh of relief and started to unwind. It is a process. My body is learning to trust ME again. It still reacts instinctually to unkindnesses but unwinds so much more quickly now since I am not taking them in.

We can make friend with our bodies. After all they are the physical vehicle for our spirit while we are here on this earth. They are a gift and a miracle, and they only go awry when we refuse to listen to our spirits. (There are some exceptions of people who come in, or take on physical conditions to learn or to teach others, but this does not apply to the majority of the population.)

Our culture, sadly, condones and perpetuates violent and constant criticism against our bodies. We're told by the media that we're too fat, or too thin. Our noses are too big. Our hair is too wild. Our wrinkles too deep. Our skin tone too uneven. I was once told to get my teeth whiter and to never ever wear sleeveless shirts on camera because they made my arms look fat. One year our butts are too big, and according to next celebrity trend, they're too small. We push ourselves when our bodies are screaming, "Rest, stop, let me breathe!" We have got to stop this insanity and make peace with our bodies, or we'll never quite have heaven on earth. After all, heaven is not about having more stuff, but rather about feeling the divine presence within, and if you aren't at peace with your physical body, that's not the easiest thing to do. I am at peace with my wild hair, my tendency to gain weight in the winter, the fact that my skin tone is spotted and uneven in places, and that my teeth aren't perfectly white or straight, and that my arms may well look a little large on camera.

The condition of my soul is more important to me. Sure, I primp and try to look my best, but I know that I'm a soul living in a body and it is more important to me that my soul shines than whether or not I look perfect, look small or large, or have a few wrinkles. I've earned them, after all.

But I DID need to stop the nonsense about pushing myself and taking in the unkind comments of the world. And after just a week of doing so I am feeling so much better! I've set new rules for who and what is allowed in my dream state while I'm sleeping. I've set new rules with spirits about what behaviors are and aren't allowed in readings. And I'm thanking my body for both teaching me, and putting up with me all these years. On a hike last Saturday I kept checking in with my body, asking if the pace was alright. It was the slowest hike I ever took and yet so gloriously beautiful and rewarding because I listened to this vehicle of my soul and allowed it to go at it's pace rather than the pace set by my ego.

When was the last time you thanked your body for all it does for you? When was the last time you asked it what IT wanted to eat and stopped judging the answer? Years ago a woman in one of my classes did the homework to go home and find something positive to say to a body part that she'd hated. She thanked her large hips every day for helping her carry her children. And lo and behold without any changes to diet and exercise, she lost five pounds that week. So listen to your body. Tell it that it was safe and secure and loved and that you aren't going to push it or punish it with judgment. Our bodies are, after all, the glorious and miraculous vehicle for our souls while we are here upon the earth and they deserves respect and kindness. The more honoring we are to them, the happier and safer we feel. Grounding our spirit deeply into the physical body by listening to it and honoring it IS work when we're used to pushing or criticizing it rather than listening to and honoring it. Nonetheless, the rewards of listening to and cooperating with your body is well worth the effort. We take care of our cars after all - we give them the right fuel and maintain them when they are in need - we should do the same for our physical bodies as well. After all, the option to trade them and upgrade only occurs once at the end of our lives. Make friends with your body this week and see how much better you feel!

Love and hugs,
Ann
