Calming the Storms Within

Ann Albers -

There is upon your earth right now a great clashing of forces and yet beneath it all, beneath the seeming duality, the wars, the storms, the differences in ideologies, there is only one love. The right hand is arguing with the left, forgetting they are all one in the same.

What do you do when you see things going on in your world that at the level of human existence seem both terrifying and terrible? Dear ones you work with those very same forces that live and breathe inside of you.

What parts of yourself are "at war" with one another? What parts of yourself do you wish you could "kill off?" What parts of yourself are being repressed, only to erupt later in storms and forceful displays of emotions. For indeed all wars, all storms, all peace, and all sunshine exists within every single human being.

Will you love all parts of yourselves and stop the wars within? Will you all emotions that arise within you, and thus prevent the need for inner... and outer... storms? Will you be the peace and calm when the temptation arises to fall into chaos and drama?

Call upon us to help you because we know it is not an easy task now being human upon your earth... and yet, as we see it, it is a glorious time to be alive for the light is rising to the surface in human hearts, bringing with it all that has laid dormant, all that has been repressed, all that has been swept aside and is now in requirement of healing.

It is an amazing time to be on earth, a time when you will see both the best of human hearts, and also some of the deepest pains.

For those who choose to love and embrace all aspects of themselves, unprecedented opportunities for help from the heavens is available. For those who choose to repress or ignore aspects of self, well my dear friends, you have seen those among you who are becoming somewhat psychotic as they try to hold back the emotions that can no longer be contained or controlled as easily as in the past.

So how do you weather the so called storms of nature and the storms of humanity? Be the peace dear ones. Stop criticizing and judging yourselves.

Stop telling yourself you "should" or "shouldn't" feel a certain way and simply embrace all that arises within you – with love.

• When you are sad, pray for comfort. 
• When you are upset give private and safe voice to your feelings. 
• When you are tired rest. 
• When you are joyous celebrate.

 Allow yourself to "be" as you are. Allow your emotions to flow through you in a healthy way without aiming them at others. Allow yourself to love everything that arises within you.

In this fashion dear ones, by changing yourselves, you change the world, one beautiful and perfect human heart at a time. God Bless You! We love you so very much. --The Angels

Message From Ann

The world is stirred up, to say the least. Threats of increased war in the middle east, big storms, viruses, you name it. I've seen more people coming in with entities and crazy energies clinging to them than ever before.

I've been casting out demons, cleaning off auras, and striving to be a force of peace, calm, and love in the world. In the midst of this, as I wrote last week, my house and yard was slammed by a storm with winds as strong as a category 3 hurricane!

My body which tends to resonate a lot with the earth feels such pressure lately I've had to do extra stretching and energy work just to keep the channels open. I've been getting up early and staying up late to work on a new and improved website among other things.

And yet, at a time when things look challenging on the outside, all I feel is an incredible beauty and grace to life. Things that used to bother or challenge me just seem like things to be handled – just items on a to do list. My beloved tree is gone but a new baby will soon be planted. The leaking ceilings have already been fixed. The ductwork will be checked out next week.

Even though there were large expenses and large inconveniences in terms of scheduling repairs, great blessings have arisen. The repair folks were wonderful. The neighbors were so sweet and helpful. I'm working overtime to pay off the bills but after borrowing energy from the recent hurricanes I find myself with incredible stamina to do so.

What looked like a little disaster has only created room for more love.

So when life seems chaotic, when those around you are all stirred up, or when things don't go your way, instead of getting sucked into the drama, the story, the upsets, and the tragedies, try your best to look for the love in the situation and to remember that no matter what occurs we can bring love into the situation.

Start with love and kindness for yourself, an acceptance of your feelings about the situation and then ask... "What is the most loving way I can handle this, in a way that honors myself first, and all others?"

Pray. Ask for help with the answer to that question. Your angels will give you amazingly creative ideas. My angels suggested I save some sections of my tree's trunk and now I meditate on them barefoot every day, enjoying the spirit of the tree I once loved as it teaches me the wisdom of greater strength and flexibility.

Know that no matter what we go through on earth, we are all beautiful souls, working diligently to remember our essential nature – our core beauty, brilliance, love, and light.

All things presented to us are just adventures we embrace, mirrors we look into, and situations that give us an opportunity to become more strongly rooted in love.

This week, when life presents a challenge, just say to yourself, "Ah ha! Another chance to find the love, be the love, love myself, and share the love."

Protesting the World's Injustices

by Ann Albers -

Years ago in my thirties when I was complaining about "God sending me" (in other words me attracting) two boyfriends in a row that easily took advantage of me and were abusive," the angels lovingly pointed out that my tendency to martyr myself was a perfect fit for a sociopath to find a way into my life!

We fit together like a hand and glove. I kept giving. They kept taking. I was willing to be abused while trying harder to be loved, they were willing to not try at all and to dump on me. Our lessons were a perfect marriage!

Only when I started loving myself and treating myself with respect did I attract the absolutely amazing people that are in my life now. 

 Likewise when I was willing to work 90 hour weeks in my past life as an engineer, the corporation was more than willing to let me. A friend who was not willing to do so, kept attracting better and higher paying consulting jobs. She knew she deserved it.

We really do find each other to learn what we need!

After years of working with angels I truly know they love everyone, no matter what. They certainly do not say everyone's behaviors are loving but they do love all souls.

They see all souls as simply trying, to the best of their ability, to find God's love, whether they do so in a way that is evolved or completely ignorant. 

 They love the protestors and the bankers, the victims and the perpetrators and they are more than willing to point out the lessons for all involved.

As a result of the angels' teaching, I have changed over the years. I no longer feel I must set my soul aside for love or money. It took time to learn to treat myself better. The changes do not happen overnight.

In the case of my career it took a few years to bring changes about. In the case of relationships I put myself through a decade of tough lessons!

 If you start treating yourself with more respect, then the world starts to show it.

If you start to pray for a job that honors your soul, the ideas will start to come. If you treat yourself with greater kindness, you will walk away when others do not.

As I watch the news, I feel somewhat detached from all the unrest in the world. The greed in the world does indeed affect me - my utility bills were so insanely high this summer that I nearly passed out after opening one particularly large bill.

I took a few breaths and asked the angels to put me back into a higher truth, and then or course truth hit me again - either I give the world my power, or I give it to God. I chose God. "Hey God," you've got some big bills. Tell me what to do next.

Either I need to make more or get this utility bill down. My water heater promptly broke because the heating coil was coated with barnacle looking things caused by hard water.

It was inconvenient but a huge energy drain was revealed! I had to get a water softener to prevent this from being a persistent problem. That cost more money but the company let me make payments and in the long run I'll have good water, better skin, less home maintenance and lower electric bills because the water heater will work.

God can handle all your problems if you just pray and believe.

If you are called to protest, do so with love and with a desire to open up a humane and loving dialogue.

But if you protest from a place of feeling that your lack is caused by others' greed, you give others all your power and energetically you negate the very thing you are trying to achieve.

It is hard to take responsibility for our own lives but in the end, that is where we find the truth and the love of God.

In this space, you have earned the right to speak up about the world's injustices, because in this loving space, you are simply wanting all souls involved to know that there can be solutions that honor everyone's needs... for that is the truth in God's reality.

The movement the angels wish to create upon the earth is simple - "Occupy your own life!" 

Fill your life with the love of your own spirit. Share your gifts and talents with the world.

Speak your truth but do so from a place of love. 

If all of us could do that we would no longer support greed, injustice, etc. We would be living in a heaven on earth. It may be a far goal but certainly one worth reaching for.

Message from the Angels

Here in the heavens we are heartened to see so many of you expressing yourselves in the world. And yet as much as we love those raising their voices in protest, so too we love the bankers. As much as we love those who feel themselves to be victims, so too we love those who are perceived to be perpetrators. 

For here in the heavens, we know that all souls, regardless of evolution or behavior are God's children and are deserving of God's love.

While we honor and love all souls who are listening to their desire to speak up and express discontent with unkind treatment in the world, we also know that without souls willing to identify with victimhood or martyrdom, there would be no support for perpetrators. 

Without souls willing to identify with lack, there would be no support for greed. Without souls willing to give away their power, either consciously or unconsciously, there would be no support for those wanting to take it.

So if you speak up – either within your own life or within the world – speak from a place of knowing you and all those with whom you interact deserve kind treatment. 

Anything less you have received or shared has simply been a misunderstanding within your own soul. 

Speak from a Place of Love

 If you speak up, speak from a place of love, knowing all souls are simply trying to learn, including those who embrace lack as well as those who embrace greed - for indeed those are simply opposite sides of the coin of misunderstanding the abundance of God. 

When you speak up, come from an understanding that you have the abundance of God's love within you in infinite supply. 

When you come from this love, act from this love, embody this love, then the forces of darkness and ignorance will have no more power over you, for you will no longer be supporting them in your own lives.

Far more important than occupying establishments, locations or situations is whether or not you choose to occupy your own life and whether or not your soul's desires are allowed to be made manifest through your thoughts, words and deeds. 

If you try to change the world without first changing your disempowering patterns and beliefs, you are missing the point of your existence. 

Each of you came to earth to dissolve the illusion that you are separate from the love of God. 

As you watch the unrest in the world, pray for both "sides." 

Pray for the ones you agree with as well as the ones with whom you find fault. But more importantly, treat yourself with kindness, dignity and respect.

Focus on creating positive movement in your own life first. 

 Speak from love. Act from love. Be love. 

Then, from this place of love by all means voice your concerns and desires for change. 

Remember, however, change begins from the inside out and if you want to change the world, start first by changing the world within.

Supportive Comfort and Grounding

by Ann Albers -

Allow yourselves to breathe deeply and relax. There is so much impatience and so much fear running rampant these days. 

If you are not impatient and fearful, thank the heavens but others are and you have to deal with them. When you must do so, do so with great care for they are in need of love.

When you are around others who are all worked up, rather than stepping into their chaotic energy, breathe deeply, remember God is with you and ask them to slow down and breathe as well. 

It is ok to say to someone in a soothing and caring voice, "You seem so stressed right now. Breathe, I am listening." 

This simple show of care often helps another realize that they are not alone, that they are cared for, that someone understands their situation.

If you are in a fearful or impatient state, slow down, sit still, breathe. 

So many of you feel so alone and yet God gave you everything on this earth that you need to comfort you, to reassure you, and to relax you. Sit on the ground, and feel the nurturing presence of mother earth herself. She gives you life. She feeds you. She sustains the oxygen you breathe. 

Sit quietly upon the earth and imagine you can connect with her. Say to her in your heart, "Mother earth, it is me, one of your children. I am scared. I am stressed. I am impatient. I need a hug right now," and then shut your eyes and allow her energy to reach up around you, blanket you and comfort you.

Earth has a living consciousness that is aware of each and every one of you, much as your body is aware of each and every cell that comprises its totality. She appreciates your care and concern. 

She celebrates your desires to be 'greener' and take better care of her physical presence, but like a good mother, she wishes to GIVE to you, to comfort you, and to love you. And all she asks in return is that you receive with gratitude and treat her other children with respect.

Sit quietly upon your earth. Feel her love and comfort. 

It is this grounding that you are seeking now as the energies of your planet continue to amplify. Earth will absorb your pain and, with simply a little gratitude on your part, she will transmute it to love. 

When you are upset turn your palms to the ground and breathe and with each exhale release the energy into the earth. 

Cry in your mother's arms when you are sad. Give her your concerns. And do not forget to thank her for all she does, for mother earth has allowed humanity for centuries to take her for granted, to fight upon her, to violate one another and her very body. 

All she wants, like any mother, is for her children to receive her love, and to get along better with one another.

Receive dear ones. You are all in need of comfort, grounding and feeling supported right now. The earth under your feet is always willing to share this with you. 

She wants you to see her beauty which reflects your own. She wants you to taste her bounty. She wants you to know the abundance of God's love as it is given to you through the richness of her creation. This is according to God's grand design. 

You are never without love from the heavens and you are always able to tap into God's great love through the love of his creation - your dear Mother Earth.

Becoming Clear on Who You Are

by Ann Albers -

Remember all movements are movements towards love. Even the souls on this earth who seem most difficult in your lives are trying to express themselves, trying to find validity in their own beliefs and in their own existence and trying to be of value. 

It is the ones who feel that their beliefs are not valid and who feel that there is no value in their existence who create the greatest chaos in your world. 

These souls are most in need of your love.

Giving love to a difficult soul does not mean you have to spend time around them, agree with them or even subscribe to their behaviors. Nor does it mean you have to educate or correct them. 

Loving a soul simply means that you recognize that the light of God exists in their heart as well and that there is value to them as a person whether or not they are choosing to express a loving truth. 

Loving a soul means recognizing that everyone, without exception is here to discover the light of God within them and everyone has purpose. 

Everyone deserves your love and your prayers, whether you agree with them or not.

However, you must choose to love yourself first if you are going to be truly able to give this spiritual love to another soul. 

You must be able to speak your truth with the understanding that your perspective is valid and real to you - we are not speaking about telling other souls how they should behave but rather expressing your own perspectives and feelings here. 

You have a right to feel how you feel. You have a right to be the loving soul that you truly are. You have a right to set firm boundaries and to walk away from unloving and unkind behavior.

If you acknowledge your own right to move towards loving and kind behavior and away from that which is not, then you will allow others to be who they choose to be. 

You will simply withdraw from negative souls or if you must spend time around them, you will choose to be in a loving space and refuse to take on their negativity. After all - their negativity is their own - it is not yours to solve or fix. 

You can say to a negative soul, "I can see how you feel that way," without ever agreeing with their perspective. You can acknowledge without agreeing. You can even remain silent. 

In this fashion, you honor their right to be by maintaining your own.

Just as water in a stream moves around the unmoving boulders, you too can move around those who choose not to budge or to be unyielding to your love. 

You can choose to remain silent when those around you gossip or speak in unkind ways because silence is a powerful message. 

The rocks along the canyon walls shape the river - so too the unmoving souls help you find your own heart and the movement and growth that you seek in life.

It is a time on earth of sorting and clarification. 

You are becoming clear on who you are and the heavens simply ask that as you do this, you allow others to become clear on who they are. 

The miserable will seek out company of like mind and the joyous and trusting will seek out their own company as well. Allow others to be who they are. Allow yourself to be who you are. 

All is a movement towards greater love and a greater discovery of the loving soul inside this person you have chosen to be. We love you so very much.

Understanding Emotions as Soul Messages

by Ann Albers -

Allow yourselves to feel everything deeply for it is through your feelings that you touch upon your soul's greatest truths.

Your emotions are simply messages from the soul - honor them for their wisdom, then allow them to move through you as you move through life.

So many of you try to avoid your darker feelings and yet, they too point to your soul's truth. 

• Beneath every angry feeling is a passionate desire to create more. 
• Beneath every sadness and disappointment is a longing for sweetness. 
• Beneath every jealousy there is a desire to know you are worthy of what you envy. 
• Beneath every frustration is a soul's desire to seek out a deeper and truer path. 

Your darker spaces contain great light. Dig deep inside yourself and find it.

Within feelings of helplessness are the seeds of surrender. Within feelings of desolation you seek out your own very great light. Within feelings of loneliness, you search for God.

When you are feeling your darker spaces, dig deep within and find the light of your own soul - these are the areas of deep growth.

When you find yourself in the throes of bliss, gratitude, love, passionate expression and deep joy by all means celebrate! 

Do not dim your light. These are the truths that your soul wishes to share with the world. 

Allow yourselves to feel and feel deeply. 

Do not let fear damn up the flow of grace that courses through you in these moments.

Celebrate the good feelings and allow yourself to move through life unattached as to whether or not they will be here in the next moment, for the minute you introduce this fear of losing your joys, you are no longer in joy. Simply enjoy your joys dear ones, and share them.

Joy is the native state of the soul.

Do not be afraid of your own hearts for within them you find the truth that God wishes to express in the world.

Own who you are and how you feel in any given moment. If you are feeling the darker spaces, dig deep to find the light seeking to be expressed.

If you are in the light-filled spaces, let yourself shine. Go deeper always into your own hearts.

You can always find greater love and a greater desire to both give and receive this love.

You are all so beautiful to us. 

Do not talk yourselves out of being who you are, feeling what you feel and expressing the very great desire for the love that your souls wish to share with and receive from the world. We love you so very much.

Finding Grace and Ease

by Ann Albers -

So many of you have been taught that to worry is to care, to obsess over things is to be 'responsible,' to save and fix others is a display of compassion and yet, there are higher ways to care, more truthful ways to be responsible and ultimately more loving ways to show compassion.

When you worry, you are simply spinning your wheels and projecting negative energy out into the universe. You are focusing upon what you do not want to happen and therefore sending out a magnetic, although thankfully weak, signal to attract it. 

Your positive thoughts carry so much greater sway in your life. So instead of worrying, when you catch yourself worrying, stop, breathe, and take time to think -what is is I DO want to see happening in my future?

You worry about not being able to pay the bills, for example. Many of you waste so much of your precious life in this frame of mind, and yet how much more productive it is to simply do what you know to do and say a quick prayer, 

"Dear God who takes care of all things, the birds in the sky, the grasses, the flowers, indeed the entire universe, you know I have a bill to pay here and I am not sure how I am going to do it. Please guide me, provide me with resources, and allow me to learn any lessons I need to learn with grace and ease. Thank you. Amen." 

Then go about your day giving thanks for the abundance you have and replacing every worrisome thought with a feeling of peace. Imagine that peace if you must, but rather that than imagining dismal circumstances.

Suppose you worry about a child of yours. Instead of worry focus on seeing them happy, purposeful, feeling loved. When you look at them, look at them as if there is success inside of them and speak this way. 

In this fashion you contribute towards their confidence and well being rather than their lack of self esteem. We are not suggesting you put up with or enable bad behaviors. 

You can indeed put your foot down there, but do so with love, and with a suggestion that you see more in them than what they are currently displaying.

When you obsess and worry about whether or not you are doing everything in your power to make a goal happen, well dear ones, you aren't giving God, your loving creator enough credit. 

Rather than anxiously spinning your wheels, sit, breathe, pray... 

"Dear God, I have done everything I know to do to achieve this goal. Let me know what is next when you feel it is right timing. Thank you." 

Then go about your day, enjoy your life and wait for further guidance.

When you have an urge to save or fix someone, go within, pray. 

"Dear God, I want to help my friend/family member/etc. I want to help them out of their unpleasant circumstance. Guide me and let me know how I may truly be of service. If you want me to share resources with them, make my cup full enough to do so and let me do it with a glad heart. If you want me to share time with them, give me the time and make it enjoyable for both of us. If you want me to share advice, guide the words I speak. And if you want me to withdraw and allow them to learn, then please make it obvious to me that no other assistance is asked of me." 

Then check in with your heart and see what feels uplifting, pleasant and enjoyable to do. When you give from love you give according to God's dictates.

When you release yourself from worries, from false obligations, from obsessing, you allow God to work in your life. You allow God to guide you with grace and ease. 

You allow your life to move according in coordination with the entire universe. You stop acting independently and become part of a bigger picture - one in which you and your needs count and one in which you are loved, cared for and guided.

Immersing Your Spirit in Life

by Ann Albers -

All of life is a spiritual practice:

So many of you worry about making time for your 'spiritual' practices and yet we would contend that every dish you wash, every breath you breathe, and indeed every word that you utter is part of a spiritual practice. 

Life itself is a spiritual practice, and you can practice bringing the truth of your spirit into each and every word and deed, each and every day. 

To immerse your spirit in life, is to imbue your life with loving kindness, starting with yourselves first, then reaching outwards to others as your cup runneth over. 

The question is not whether or not you are all spiritual - for indeed as you have heard many times, you are all spirits in bodies - but rather what level of spiritual awareness you bring to the every day activities in your life.

While it is beautiful to meditate and sing sacred songs, we would encourage you to focus on speaking to one another more kindly, for a kind word is one of the holiest songs upon your earth. 

While doing good for those who have less is certainly a most beautiful way to express your love, don't forget to take care of your own basic needs as well. 

For what good does it do if you achieve these so-called external spiritual acts without finding the peace and love of God within your own hearts? 

Give from what is truly inside of you, and fill your own cup first so that it can authentically spill over into the world.

Nothing you do is without purpose. 

Every thought, every word, and every deep ripples out into the universe, some having greater effect than others. 

You can make anything you do a spiritual practice if you bring love to the situation. You can bring love into your chores. 

You can bring love into your conversations and you can even bring love into situations in which you might otherwise judge yourselves. 

It would be a spiritual practice for some of you to look in the mirror and love yourselves unconditionally.

Dear ones, God walks with you in each and very moment of each and every day for indeed God is the force of love and life that breathes life into you. 

You cannot be without God. 

You are made of the very breath of God. You cannot be anything but spiritual. So instead of worrying whether or not you have time for your spiritual practices, remember to make life a spiritual practice. 

Bring love into your thoughts, your words and your deeds. Love yourselves without condition and from this feeling of fullness and joy, then you can authentically share your gifts, talents and resources with the world.

Receiving and Giving Love

by Ann Albers -

Message from the Angels:

It is indeed interesting that at the darkest time of your year, in the season of winter, when the sun appears to be at its lowest point, you celebrate the very greatest and miraculous lights that have graced your world. This dear ones is such a metaphor for your lives - for in times of darkness you are forced to go within and find the Christ light within yourselves - the light and love of God within you. 

It is in times of lack, that you find the true abundance within you - the light that never stops burning in the temple of your souls. It is in humble situations that humanity often finds its greatest capacity to love and give to one another. It is in simplicity that you find your greatest abundance. 

In times of need, your faith draws unto you the miracles you require to keep going in your lives.

Darkness and difficult times are nothing to be feared but rather opportunities for you to turn your hearts to Truth - that you are none other than a brilliant eternal being created in each moment by the very breath and love of God; that you are eternally supported in love; and that it is only the illusions that you are separate from this love that keep you in situations that feel so lonely and unloving. 

If you could only feel, for but a minute, your connection with your loving creator, all problems would seem so small and insignificant and you would trust that in the very next breath, even in darkest and most humble of times, your life can be birthed anew in this beautiful love and light of God.

So in this season of winter, when the trees slow the movement of their sap, when the plants withdraw for a much needed rest, and when the animals go within their burrows, so too dear ones, spend time going within your own hearts, and searching for the comfort of God's light. Sit quietly in stillness for a few minutes each day and ask to feel God's love, God's peace, and God's abundance, for all these feelings are available to your right here, right now, in this moment. 

When you allow yourself to feel these feelings, no matter what your outer circumstances, you begin to tap into a different stream of reality - one in which your outer life will change and grow better, brighter, more loving, more abundant and more filled with the grace of God.

You are God's lights in this world. 

You are the lamps that burn brightly. You are the hope for this world, the inspiration for others, the hands, the eyes, the mouth of God. You are the ones who, through your willingness to receive the Truth of God's love into your lives, can give even more. It is in receiving God's love that you can fill your cup and spill it. 

It is in giving and sharing of this love, when you are full, that you open to receive more.

We love you so very much dear friends. We hold you in such high esteem. We know this year has been so difficult for so many of you and so joyous for others and yet no matter where you are in your lives, we see you as nothing less than the incarnation of the living God's love. 

Know this, pray for it, ask to feel it in your hearts. For as you receive, we too are filled with greater and greater love, because we, the angels, live to love and live to bring you into the awareness that you are all on earth to do the very same.

Harvest of Love

by Ann albers -

Message from the Angels:

In this season of harvest, realize that the harvest of love you are seeking in your lives is and always has been right there within your own hearts. The harvest of abundance is right there waiting for you to claim it. The harvest of joy is in front of you at all times, waiting to be acknowledged.

God's love is so close that it appears hidden. You search for the confirmation of this Love in so many things in your outer world.

You will feel loved when acknowledged by another, when the bills are easily paid, when your life is going perfectly... and yet when you sit quietly and ask to feel this love and acknowledge that you are all made of it; when you breathe slowly and deeply in the stillness until you feel the peace that surpasses all understanding - then and only then will you see reflections of this love in all areas of your outer world.

When you acknowledge the abundance of love within you, you will begin to see opportunities to express your heart, your gifts and talents in the world, thus attracting back to you material abundance as well.

When you acknowledge that you can choose either positive or negative thoughts at any moment in time, finding joy will be like tuning your radio into a favorite station, rather than one broadcasting dreadful news.

When you find and feel and are filled by the love of God within you, only then can you truly unconditionally love another.

Seek what you already have within you. 

To solve your outer problems go within.

If you find lack in your lives, ask yourself why you are focusing on lack when a loving God wants to give you more than you would ever ask for. Can you imagine, just for a few weeks that God loves you so much He wants to make your life flow in the light of His grace.

Can you wake up and truly truly be ready to receive.

Can you let go of negative talk, negative thoughts, and above all, can you let go of control in order to do so? Dear ones, act on your heart's guidance, not on your mind's fearful dictates and you will find a flow in your life that supports all your needs.

If you feel alone, then sit quietly and ask God to feel his love. 

Stop focusing on being alone for that illusion brings only pain and suffering.

Instead say to yourself,

"I am surrounded by the presence of the living God in so many forms. The universe loves me. The angels love me. God loves me. I intend to seek out and feel this love until I am never again lost in the lie that I am unloved."

If you feel physical pain, take time to imagine the freedom of your beautiful spirit dancing within the body, aligning with God within the body, breathing in and out, bringing life and light into every cell, for in this divine dance of your soul, you will enliven the body and be guided in its care.

You are none other than a manifestation of God's love. 

This love flows to you, through you and out from you into the world when you do not obstruct the flow with fear, negativity or a mentality of lack. 

You are made of this love. 

Practice choosing thoughts that uplift and inspire you. Push away the thoughts that convince you that you are anything less than this love. Your thoughts are like seeds, always planting new futures. If you want to reap a harvest of love, then sow seeds of love and truth each and every day.

Your Soul's Greatest Truths

by Ann Albers -

Allow yourselves to feel everything deeply, for it is through your feelings that you touch upon your soul's greatest truths. Your emotions are simply messages from the soul - honor them for their wisdom, then allow them to move through you, as you move through life.

So many of you try to avoid your darker feelings and yet, they too point to your soul's truth. Beneath every angry feeling is a passionate desire to create more. Beneath every sadness and disappointment is a longing for sweetness.

Find the light of your own soul.

Beneath every jealousy there is a desire to know you are worthy of what you envy. Beneath every frustration is a soul's desire to seek out a deeper and truer path. Dear ones, your darker spaces contain great light. Dig deep inside yourself and find it.

Within feelings of helplessness are the seeds of surrender. Within feelings of desolation you seek out your own very great light. Within feelings of loneliness, you search for God. When you are feeling your darker spaces, dig deep within and find the light of your own soul - these are the areas of deep growth.

Do not dim your Light.

When you find yourself in the throes of bliss, gratitude, love, passionate expression and deep joy, by all means celebrate! Do not dim your light. These are the truths that your soul wishes to share with the world. Allow yourselves to feel and feel deeply.

Do not let fear damn up the flow of grace that courses through you in these moments. 

Celebrate the good feelings and allow yourself to move through life unattached as to whether or not they will be here in the next moment, for the minute you introduce this fear of losing your joys, you are no longer in joy. Simply enjoy your joys dear ones, and share them. 

Joy is the native state of the soul.

Do not be afraid of your own hearts, dear ones, for within them you find the truth that God wishes to express in the world. Own who you are and how you feel in any given moment. If you are feeling the darker spaces, dig deep to find the light seeking to be expressed.

If you are in the light-filled spaces, let yourself shine. Go deeper always, into your own hearts. You can always find greater love, and a greater desire to both give and receive this love.

You are all so beautiful to us. 

Do not talk yourselves out of being who you are, feeling what you feel, and expressing the very great desire for the love that your souls wish to share with, and receive from, the world. We love you so very much.

Facing Challenges

by Ann Albers -

Life is short, no matter how long you live it. Your problems, in the grand scheme of eternity, no matter how large they seem at present, will look so very small. Yet your opportunities in any given moment to experience the miracle of being in human form are so very grand. Do not dignify the devil by giving energy to your problems. Instead, focus with gratitude on the miracles all around you.

Focus on what you need to do, pray for guidance for the rest and trust that God who knows all your needs as well all your lessons is in charge. Even when people die, dear friends, they are reunited with their loving creator. And so the worst can be the best.

The times of greatest challenge financially can bring the greatest opportunity for families to come together and focus on what is truly of value. The times of greatest challenge with health can be the greatest opportunity to allow others to love you.

The times of greatest sadness for another can force you to focus on your own well being. Of course if you willingly embrace your growth, focus on what is of value, allow yourself to both give and receive and trust that if you honor your own loving expression then the challenges life presents as lessons need not be so great.

God loves you more than you can possibly imagine and that is eternal truth. There is no deeper and greater truth. 

When you learn to have true faith and trust in this and when you learn to embrace the fact that you cannot, no matter how you feel, ever be disconnected from your loving creator then your lives will reflect this knowing.

In the greatest times of adversity and in the most celebrated joys, embrace this truth. Your lives will become a magnificent expression then of God's love.

Abundance From the Inside Out

by Ann Albers - 

Your abundance already exists within you. 

You have gifts and talent to share with the world. You have a kind word for a stranger. You have a warm glance and a smile for someone who looks harried and hurried. Perhaps you have the gift of nurturing, of healing, of creativity, of understanding finances or creating new technologies. 

Perhaps you counsel others or are a good listener. Maybe you are an excellent parent, a lover of animals or someone who is in love with our dear mother earth. Whenever you feel lack in your life dear ones, reach within. 

Start doing what you love to do. 

Start sharing of your gifts and talents in even the smallest of ways. When you share you true heart with the world, you will feel rich from the inside out.

In doing so you open up new avenues for financial abundance, new connections for relationships with those of like mind and heart and most importantly of all, you feel the joy of being who God designed you to be.

Start now. 

Share your gifts and talents in even the smallest of ways. Your world and your life will become a much richer, brighter and happier place.

The Emergence of Truth

by Ann Albers -

Peace comes from resting in God's love, knowing your truth, honoring your own direction and allowing others to do the same. 

Peace is within your capacity to create at all times. 

If all in the world could embrace the concepts that they are loved, they are guided and that their truth is valid for them, while others may or may not share the same, you would sort yourselves out into circles of like minded individuals and be among those who see and share life as you do. You would be able to interact with those who don't, in peace and harmony.

This type of sorting out is going on right now on your planet earth. 

So many are losing jobs just to be moved into more meaningful and respectful positions. Relationships are in a state of flux, either growing together or growing apart. Within yourselves you are finding deeper understandings of who you are and what you want in life, not only at the spiritual level but as human beings. 

Truth is emerging.

The emergence of truth can be graceful, however, if you have been ignoring it or stuffing it, it can be very awkward, sudden and upsetting. If you have been in a job that does not serve your soul and suddenly you lose it, the first reaction can be to panic, feel victimized and be upset, and yet...  God is at work in your lives, moving you towards greater love. 

Truth will find its way to the surface dear ones. 

The more you search within to acknowledge it, bring it with love to the surface of your lives and then express it with kindness, the more easy your transitions will be.

All movement in your lives, no matter how awkward, is a movement towards greater love - love of God, love of Self, love of others. Choose to see all your changes this way and you will have greater understanding, greater compassion for self and others and greater peace.
