Angels of Abundance

Hi,

A little while ago I sent out a survey about what my friends and subscribers like most about the information, products and services I offer.

Many of the responses were “Angel Inspiration” and that got me thinking as to what exactly that meant.

I started by asking myself some questions such as:
“What is Inspiration?”
“How would I feel if I felt Inspired?”
“What Inspires Me?”

“What is Inspiration?”

According to the Oxford Dictionary, “to inspire” means to “put uplifting thoughts, feelings or aims into something” or “to fill with creative power” or to “create a feeling or to fill with the urge or ability to do something” or ” to animate, encourage, arouse, stimulate or motivate”.

We’ll come back to Motivation another time because I think there is a huge difference between Motivation and Inspiration.

Some of the other words I found in the Thesaurus were : “influence, move, stir, energize, give rise to, cause and awaken.”

This are some pretty wonderful words, so what kind of feelings does that create?

Well, for me, I suppose that would be feelings of creativity, getting ideas and acting on them, feelings of flow, of ease, of things falling into place as I would like them to, of people and opportunities showing up at just the right moment and feeling great about the things I am doing.

That means there is a complete absence of “must, should, got to, ought to, have to, need to” and other things where there is a sense of obligation.

So what Inspires me or You?

I love to look at beautiful pictures of sunrises and sunsets, crashing waves on the sea-shore, favourite places of mine and stars.

I find quotes or poems can touch me and stir some good feelings in my heart.
One of my favourite quotes is a poem that was sent to me by my dear friend, Jenny.

“Dance like no one is watching,
Sing like no one is listening,
Love like you’ve never been hurt,
Live like it’s heaven on earth.”- Mark Twain

I love gentle, relaxation music where I can just close my eyes and drift off to somewhere wonderful, such as a sandy beach or a quiet garden.

Or maybe seeing a picture of an Angel in the Road, caused by the light shining through the trees.

What about you?
What is inspiration for you? What inspires you?

I would love to hear some of your favourite things that inspire and uplift you.
Please let me know.
With abundant blessings.

Hi all,

I have been busy revamping the www.AngelsofAbundance.com website and there are now TWO stunning FREE Angel Card Readings for you to enjoy.

I have still got the reading using the Healing with the Angels Oracle Cards by Doreen Virtue, which is still a favourite with many of you.

I have added a new reading from my friend, Dyan Garris. It is beautiful and is amazingly accurate. The cards are stunning and Dyan has some terrific support materials to go alongside them.

One of my personal favourites is her book “Money and Manifesting”, which is also on the site.

You can still sign up to receive weekly “Angel Inspiration” by email if you would like to.

I have included a FREE Relaxation for you called “Power Focus Energy Booster”. You can listen to it on the Angels of Abundance site or you can download it.

It is 7 minutes long and is designed to help you to put aside any challenges of the day, so you can focus on a task in hand and achieve the desired outcome.

I have got lots of new things planned as well, which I will be telling you about shortly.

Have a wonderful day.

With abundant blessing.

Hi all,

I had a very interesting experience this week and learned some very useful tools, which I would like to share with you.

On Monday Neil Long, my co-host on Interview With Spirit Show (www.blogtalkradio/interviewwithspirit Thurs 9pm GMT, 4pm EST) asked me if I would like to be part of an interview with a lady called Connie Russert.

Connie channels a group of beings called Paularyo and I have to say, I was very impressed.

She talked about her book, ‘Channelled Messages from a Parrallel Universe”, which you can find on her site: www.toolsfortransformation.com and then brought Paularyo through to talk to me and Neil, separately and together.

Paularyo’s message centres around “Allow it to be Easy”.

So often we make life really difficult for ourselves. This is often that is a result of beliefs we have about success and how hard or easy that should be to attract. Much of that stems from childhood and what we experienced around those things as children.

Paularyo teaches about living from our heart and being happy in the moment and gives some very practical tips on how you can do that.

Firstly, sit comfortably and breathe gently. As you breathe in, breathe in the words “Allow it” and as you breathe out, breathe out the words, thoughts and feelings of “to be EASY”.

Continue breathing gently, and you’ll start to feel peace come over your body and your mind and emotions calming.

The next way to come from your heart is to imagine yourself in a bubble of light. As you breathe out, imagine your bubble of light expanding.

With each out-breath imagine your bubble doubling in size, until it is the size of the Universe. Continue this for as long as you can.

When you are in your bubble, you are in your heart. You can feel the peace and calm come over your body and mind.

It is beautiful and takes very little time.

Connie has some great tips on her website. I will let you know when the interview is going to be broadcast because it is well worth listening to.

With abundant blessings of Peace, Love, Joy and Fun.

Hi all,

This is one of my favourite poems by Marianne Williamson, from her book “A Return to Love” (1992). In my view it is probably one of the most powerful pieces ever written.

Our Greatest Fear —Marianne Williamson

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us.

We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous,
talented and fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.

Your playing small does not serve the world.
There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other
people won’t feel insecure around you.

We were born to make manifest the glory of
God that is within us.
It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone.

And as we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other people
permission to do the same.

As we are liberated from our own fear,
Our presence automatically liberates others.

I think this piece is magnificent. I hope you enjoyed it.
With abundant blessings.

Hi all,

This was sent to me as an email by my friend Elly and I think it is brilliant.
Thank You, Elly.

The Four Boyfriends
Once upon a time, there was this girl who had four boyfriends.

She loved the 4th boyfriend the most and adored him with rich robes and treated him to the finest of delicacies. She gave him nothing but the best.

She also loved the 3rd boyfriend very much and was always showing him off to neighboring kingdoms. However, she feared that one day he would leave her for another.

She also loved her 2nd boyfriend. He was her confidant and was always kind, considerate and patient with her. Whenever this girl faced a problem, she could confide in him, and he would help her get through the difficult times.

The girl’s 1st boyfriend was a very loyal partner and had made great contributions in maintaining her wealth and kingdom.

However, she did not love the first boyfriend. Although he loved her deeply, she hardly took notice of him!

One day, the girl fell ill and she knew her time was short. She thought of her luxurious life and wondered, “I now have four boyfriends with me, but when I die, I’ll be all alone.”

Thus, she asked the 4th boyfriend, “I loved you the most, endowed you with the finest clothing and showered great care over you. Now that I’m dying, will you follow me and keep me company?”

“No way,” replied the 4th boyfriend, and he walked away without another word.

His answer cut like a sharp knife right into her heart.

The sad girl then asked the 3rd boyfriend, “I loved you all my life. Now that I’m dying, will you follow me and keep me company?”"No!” replied the 3rd boyfriend. “Life is too good! When you die, I’m going to marry someone else!”

Her heart sank and turned cold.

She then asked the 2nd boyfriend, “I have always turned to you for help and you’ve always been there for me. When I die, will you follow me and keep me company?”

“I’m sorry, I can’t help you out this time!” replied the 2nd boyfriend. “At the very most, I can only walk with you to your grave.”

His answer struck her like a bolt of lightning, and the girl was devastated.

Then a voice called out: “I’ll go with you. I’ll follow you no matter where you go.”

The girl looked up, and there was her first boyfriend. He was very skinny as he suffered from malnutrition and neglect.

Greatly grieved, the girl said, “I should have taken much better care of you when I had the chance!”

In truth, you have 4 “boyfriends” in your lives:

Your 4th boyfriend is your body. No matter how much time and effort you lavish in making it look good, it will leave you when you die.

Your 3rd boyfriend are your possessions, status and wealth. When you die, it will all go to others.

Your 2nd boyfriend is your family and friends. No matter how much they have been there for you, the furthest they can stay by you is up to the grave.

And your 1st boyfriend is your Soul. Often neglected in pursuit of wealth, power and pleasures of the world.

However, your Soul is the only thing that will follow you wherever you go; cultivate, strengthen and cherish it now, for it is the only part of you that will follow you to the throne of God and continue with you throughout Eternity.

Thought for the day: Remember, when the world pushes you to your knees, you’re in the perfect position to pray.

Being happy doesn’t mean everything’s perfect.

It means you’ve decided to see beyond the imperfections

Isn’t that so true!
With abundant blessings.

Hi all

How would you like a flying start
to 2008? You’re going to LOVE this …

Last year, Matt charged $97 for access
to the two-part training and all the
supplementary downloads.

I have just listened to it all and I can quite understand why he
had tremendous feedback. It is really good and worth every penny.

I really love Matt’s work and I have listened to his meditations over and over again.

He is doing the calls again this year, and the good news he
is offering them totally FR.EE.

The calls are this Saturday and Sunday 19th and 20th January 2008.

Hi

Here are some more of Greg’s terrific pictures for your enjoyment.

The first one is called “The Money Tree”. Yes, money really does grow on trees!

We found it in a wood in North Devon in the South West of England. There were several of these trees with literally thousands of coins stuck into them.

We decided it was a wishing tree, so here it is for you.

Wishing you Abundance and Prosperity always.

The second one is one of my personal favourites. We have this one hanging on the in our bedroom, and it seems to have brought us better luck and prosperity since it has been there.

It is a magical place. A real Angel and Fairy Glade in the Forest.
Greg took the picture in the summer in quite bright light.
However when you look at it from a distance and in quite low light, there are faces in the trees and shadowy figures and shapes.

Can you see them?

May the magical spirits of Earth and Nature bless you.

Greg seems to have an amazing ability to capture angles, spirits or energies which appear to be present in a place, yet we only see them afterwards when we put them on the computer and adjust the light.

Hi all,

Thank you to Deb who sent me this poem. I think it is beautiful.

Dancing with God By: Elaine L. Guercio

When I meditated on the word “Guidance”,
I kept seeing “dance” at the end of the word.

I remember reading that doing God’s will is a lot like dancing.
When two people try to lead, nothing feels right.
The movement doesn’t flow with the music, and everything is quite
uncomfortable and jerky.

When one person realizes that and lets the other lead, both bodies begin to
flow with the music.

One gives gentle cues, perhaps with a nudge to the back or by pressing
lightly in one direction or another.

It’s as if two become one body, moving beautifully.
The dance takes surrender, willingness, and attentiveness from one person
and gentle guidance and skill from the other.

My eyes drew back to the word “guidance”.
When I saw “G”, I thought of God, followed by “U” and “I”.
“God”, “U” and “I” “dance”.
God, you and I dance.

As I lowered my head, I became willing to trust that I would get guidance
about my life.

Once again, I became willing to let God lead.
My prayer for you today is that God’s Blessings and mercies be upon you on
this day and every day.

May you abide in God as God abides in you.
Dance together with God, trusting God to lead and guide you through each
season of your life.

This prayer is powerful, and there is nothing attached.
If God has done anything for you in your life, please share this message
with someone else.

For prayer is one of the best gifts we can receive.
There is no cost but a lot of rewards.

So let’s continue to pray for one another.
And I hope you DANCE!!!

I think the message of this poem is so simple and yet really profound. Thank you so much for sharing it with me, Deb.

A couple of weeks ago I was doing my weekly Angel Reading slot on the Interview with Spirit show and Ken presented a message he had channelled from The Guys on “Who or What is God?”

It was absolutely brilliant and I was nearly in tears because the essence of it was God (or whatever name sits right for you) is an amazing all-loving energy force that wants us to be, have and do all the fantastic things we want.

The message is the last 15 minutes or so and it is well worth listening to.

There is also a terrific interview with Buz McGuire about his terrific new book “The Power of Release”, which will be available shortly.

I am on there every week at 9pm GMT, 4pm EST, 3PM CST doing live, free Angel Card Readings and there are always some terrific guests and messages from The Guys.

Hi all,

My good friend Matt Clarkson of Spiritual Growth Monthly has just released a FREE financial abundance Meditation, which is available from his blog.

Financial Abundance Meditation

This is a lovely meditation. It is very gently and I went to a wonderful, good feeling place of Abundance.

Matt has a very soothing voice and I felt totally at peace- until our dog (George the Rottweiler with his own unique personality) decided to start barking at fresh air!

Or maybe he was barking at the Guardian Angels outside!

The meditation guides you into a real feel-good place of Abundance and gently dissolves any lack thoughts as they come up.

I shall be using this one again!

Please enjoy the meditation.
