HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!


Visiting with the Angels

My dear friend Terry Wildeman invited me to participate in a five day meditating to intentionally invite the archangels into my home for five days and then to invite at least three other friends to participate as well.

I decided to keep a record of the messages I heard during this experience, as I was instructed that these messages have meaning for each of you who have come here to read them. Nothing is accidental. Everything is Divine Synchronicity.

It just so happens that during this time, the conflicts and liberations in the Middle East are occurring...I have been invited to share in a six week course of study with The Thirteen Indigenous Grandmothers.... been moved to pick up information on shamanism that I had been inspired by twenty years ago....and the fabric of my many connections seeded over the past year are beginning to come into some form of clarity.

So I am reading and re-reading the various messages given to me here.

I hope you will join me to accept these messages as they apply to your life, and if you want to be a part of this web and continue the visitations of the angels, contact me.

They will be leaving my home this evening , February 22. They will rest for five days and on Feb. 27 I will send them to the homes of those who wish to participate.


Everything is set on the altar in anticipation. Blue candles flicker gently in their holders of cobalt glass. Fresh white flowers attend four images of arch angels. The first evening after welcoming them in was spent in peaceful dreams.

 

The first morning, meditating in the spill of warm sunlight coming through the window, I first called in my Reiki and sent appropriate healing to those in need. Then took a moment to still my mind and draw an angel card from Doreen Virtue’s “Healing with the Angels”.  I had decided to pull a guidance after each meditation and at the end of the week review the message.  I am posting these messages because I know that they are also meant for others seeking on the Path to Wholeness. They are my gift to you.

 

 Day One:

The first card: Answered Prayer

“Fear not, Beloved One, your prayers have been heard and answered.”

All of your prayers are always answered. Sometimes you may not feel this way because the answer comes in unexpected ways. Perhaps you receive an intuitive feeling or  a new opportunity appears---or a book falls off the shelf.  The angels answer our prayers very often by giving us ideas and information in these everyday ways.

 The angels request that you be extra observant. Notice everything that you hear, say, think and feel.  Be especially alert to help that comes to you and be sure to accept that help. YOU DO deserve this assistance, and many times God enlists people to act as Earth Angels who bring you answers to your prayers.

 

Day Two:

From The Archangel Michael Deck by Doreen Virtue

Innocence

The Prayer: “ Dear God and Angels, thank you for helping me see that all of your qualities of pure love and light are reflected within me and all others. Help me embrace my God given innocence so that I may be at Peace.”

Archangel  Michael is holding you in a comforting embrace, assuring you of your innocence.Ask him to help you let go of guilt which is aheavy emotion which prevents you from experiencing inner peace by saying: Archangel Micael, thank you for helping me forgive myself for _____ and fpr anything else I have blamed myself for. Please helpme release all self-blame from my mind, body and emotions.”

Feel the sensation of deep release as Archangel Michael helps you embrace your true innocence. Your past behavior could never undo God’s perfect handiwork in creating you as a powerful, loving and much needed being of light and love.

Purify and detoxify. Focus on other people’s good qualities rather than their mistakes.

 

Day Three:

From The Archangel Michael Deck

Let Go of Fear…Now

The Prayer:” Archangel Michael, please help me feel safe and deserving of your guidance. Thank you for clearing me of heavy, toxic, or ego-based thoughts or feelings.”

Archangel Michael says that fear is the only thing interfering with your happiness and plans. He wants to show you how to release any worry or dread so you can feel safe and secure. This card indicates that you’re ready to let go of control issues and trust that everything ultimately works out for the best.

You are going in the right direction. You deserve all that is good. Allow yourself to receive love, support and abundance. You are lovable.

 

Day Four

From Healing with the Angels

Enchantment

Recapture your childlike sense of wonder and awe. View the world as a magical place.

Remember when you were a child and how magical the world seemed? The sense of enchantment is the spirit of our inner child. Somewhere along the way, did you lose that sense of wonder?

The angels ask you to recapture your magical sense by remembering that a miraculous power surrounds you. Ask God and the angels to help you with anything—small or large. Don’t worry---you aren’t removing angels from “more important” tasks when you ask for help with everyday situations.  They truly want to support you so that you are free of worries. In that way, you exude the joy and wonder of children who trust that they are taken care of. And when you are joyful, your Divine light inspires everyone who sees you.

 

Day Five

From Angel Numbers by Doreen Virtue

#332 (every morning during these five days I wake up at 3:32 am so I was moved to draw the wisdom of this number)

“Have faith in humanity and the world’s future. Remember that the Ascended Master’s most powerful asset is their perfect faith—be like them.”

 

Which has led me to choose from The Ascended Masters Oracle by Doreen Virtue

Focus on Your Strengths---Apollo

Focus upon your strengths not upon any perceived weakness.  Your strengths could include your loving heart, pure intentions,people skills, hobbies or something that you excel in.  Even if your talents still need polishing, these are strengths and assets.

The more you bless and appreciate your strengths, the stronger they’ll grow.  If you focus upon so called weaknesses, they will grow. This is a reminder of the importance of viewing yourself with compassion and love. Anytime you find yourself thinking or feeling poorly about yourself, focus upon your strengths instead.

 

Use daily positive affirmations to lift your energy and faith. Speak of yourself in positive terms.  Begin an exercise program to tone and build your muscles. This is a message of love and healing for a brother or brother figure.

 

 


PREPARING FOR 2012
In the coming weeks you will see a change in the direction of my blog. I began it last year, thinking it would be a type of teaching tool, I've been reading Tarot now since 1971 and it never ceases to amaze me how it's information reaffirms three major belief systems that run my life...synchronicity, change, and the interconnectedness of all things. When one is in flow with these concepts, life inevitably runs so much more smoothly and we can be empowered to make better choices on our path.  over the past decades we have met  emotional, personal, economic and security challenges that have forced us to review, readjust, and renew our intentions for our personal future and the future of our world.  Now we are ever closer to, what some would consider, a watershed point in time for humankind the coming of 2012!

My intention is to explore the concepts, fears and anticipations around this date and put it in such a perspective that we are able to use its influences positively in our lives. I want to connect you to interesting articles, web sites, books and musings on the subject that can turn fear or anxiety into the fuel for positive action.

The following is an article I recently authored for RI Natural Awakenings magazine. I hope that after you read it you will be inspired to visit and follow the new blog I will be developing in the days to come.  It will draw on my background in shamanism, Tarot, Wicce, Noetics and holism. I hope it will be helpful as we negotiate this exciting time in our evolutionary development.

Blessings on your path,

Cris

PREPARING FOR 2012

By Cris McCullough,MA

The mystery that is 2012 is fast becoming a media darling: movies, books and, of course the ubiquitous

coverage of the event on Discovery Channel will certainly attend its coming.  It is true that the ancient

Mayans had developed a complex and uncannily accurate calendar, inscribed in stone, and detailing

astronomical events on a year by year basis. Then abruptly it would seem, on December 21, 2012, this

chronicle comes to an halt.  Was this a deliberate foreboding and warning of “the end of the world”?

Or perhaps the Mayans simply moved away, due to some natural disaster or died off due to a

catastrophic illness, or simply got bored with the whole idea and stopped.  In any case, this ancient

mystery as a harbinger of a future event has seeped its way into the modern psyche, and is awaited

with both fear and anticipation by some.

            I, on the other hand, tend to be more of an optimist with a long view of events. 

Throughout the ages, especially at points of major transition, human kind has foretold, “the end of the

world”.  Indigenous people, with a far more sanguine and practical view of our inter-relationship with

all things, have predicted and documented these periods of great change in their myths and legends.

And these points in time generally mark a moment when human kind alters their relationship to Earth,

Divine Source and to themselves.

            We can see this progression in our own culture over the past 30 years. Along with the obvious

“Earth Changes”; earthquakes, volcanoes, climate change and other natural and un-natural disasters that

seem to have escalated and given credence to the predictions of challenges to come, there have also been exciting breakthroughs.  30 years ago anyone doing Yoga was thought to be in a cult, massage was somehow on

the fringe and Eastern medicine, acupuncture, Reiki, and energy medicine were certainly not found in

hospitals! Science is finally affirming such things as Chakras, energies and meridians. Doctors are

finally realizing the danger of stress and its implication in causing disease. People are becoming more empowered to take control of their mental, physical and spiritual wellbeing.

Of all the milestones, the one measure of human advancement lies in the increasing embrace of self awareness and self healing that a majority of people are experiencing or striving for during these challenging times.  I view the challenges we face as a test to our embracing our true humanity. We are being given an opportunity to “walk our talk” and live what we believe and in that way, bring change and transformation to our world. The process towards creating positive change in the world begins with the Self.

            There are six elements of Intentional Self Creation, as noted in a fascinating article by

Peggy La Cerra in an edition of Spirituality and Health, Jan/Feb 2010.  These steps utilize and exploit our brain’s natural processes of development to augment personal change.

Step One: Develop a frequent practice of prayer or meditation. This can also mean a physical discipline

like daily exercise.

Step Two: Learn to still the mind, detach from the drama, personal and global, and live in the Now.

Step Three: Set an intentional model of the values and characteristics you wish to cultivate in your life.

Step Four: Develop your  “Jiminy Crickett”, Your Inner Guide or Witness to keep yourself on track.

Step Five: Use your memories to get you motivated towards change. Remember the good in life and

make gratitude your attitude.

Step Six: Identify intentional behaviors and affirm them daily.

            I do hope you go on-line and read the details of this fascinating article, www.SpiritualityHealth.com, or check in with my new blog; 2012 Countdown and, above all continue the personal process of change.

Jung's concept of "synchronicity" led me to my own Spiritual explorations. My journey led me from myth and culture, to Tarot, Shamanism and Native American studies with Oh Shinnah Fast Wolf and ultimately to the study of Holistic Counseling and Alternative wellness techniques.

This Blog is meant to introduce readers to the very real magic and wonder of Spiritual unfolding as evidenced by myriad paths.

I hope you will enjoy and support this blog, ask questions and add your comments.
Blessings
