DailyOM , [email protected] Good Vibrations BY MADISYN TAYLOR When we are in a state of good vibration, we attract more of that to us. Feelings vibrate, just as all things in the universe do, at a particular frequency. Negative feelings like anger, guilt, and greed vibrate at low frequencies, while positive feelings like joy, appreciation, and passion vibrate at high frequencies. These high-frequency vibrations make us feel good. This is why people and places that inspire and cultivate positive feelings have what we call good vibrations. Good vibrations inspire health, happiness, and optimism. When we are tuned in to good vibrations, our bodies heal, our hearts open, and our minds shift toward the light. We see new possibilities and feel powerfully energized to follow our inner visions. At the same time, we feel relaxed and capable of manifesting these visions without giving in to stress or struggle. Good vibrations put us in a state of perfect receptivity so that we feel it is the energy flowing through us that accomplishes what needs to be done. We feel guided, supported, protected, and nourished within this joyful flow. We sometimes forget that we are allowed to feel this way all the time. Lower frequency vibrations are not bad in a moral sense, but they are bad in the sense that they simply don't feel good. Still, they have a purpose, which is to alert us to the fact that we are blocking out the higher frequency vibrations that we need to function well. They are a call for healing ourselves from within. The key to our healing lies in remembering that it is our birthright to feel good and that feeling good is the essence of our true nature. When we are receiving and sending out good vibrations, we are in the flow. When we are not, we can begin to raise our vibration by seeking out people, places, and situations that vibrate at a higher frequency. Whether we need to go on retreat or just call a friend who makes us laugh, seeking out those good vibrations and basking in them is a sacred and loving practice that returns us, time and again, to the joyful flow of the universe. art by Dave Annis, @dave.annis.77 instagram

Silliness BY MADISYN TAYLOR Giving yourself permission to be silly will nourish your creativity, and is a good exercise in letting go. Children appreciate all that is silly as a matter of course. Their grasp of humor is instinctual, and even the smallest absurdities provoke joyous gales of earnest laughter. As we age, this innate ability to see the value of silliness can diminish. Work takes precedence over play, and we have less incentive to exercise our imaginative minds by focusing on what is humorous. When we remember childhood, we may recall the pleasures of donning funny costumes, reciting nonsense poems, making up strange games, or playing pretend. This unabashed silliness nourished our vitality and creativity. We can take in this nourishment once again by giving ourselves permission to lighten up and be silly. Too often we reject the wonderful silliness that is an inherent, inborn aspect of the self because we believe that it serves no purpose or is at odds with the grown-up culture of maturity. We play yet we do not lose ourselves in play, and our imaginations are never truly given free rein because we regard the products of irrational creativity as being valueless. Yet silliness itself does indeed constitute a vital part of human existence on a myriad of levels. Our first taste of ethereal bliss is often a consequence of our willingness to dabble in what we deem outrageous, nonsensical, or absurd. We delight in ridiculousness not only because laughter is intrinsically pleasurable, but also because it serves as a reminder that existence itself is fun. Skipping, doodling, and singing funny songs are no less entertaining than they were when we were children. We need not lose all interest in these cheerful and amusing activities, but to make them a part of our lives we must be ready to sacrifice a little dignity and a lot of fear. It is precisely because so much of life is inescapably serious that silliness should be regarded as a priority. Through the magic of imagination, you can be or become anything--a photographer, a professional athlete, a dancer, a pilot. Whether you take hundreds of silly pictures, revel in the adulation of your fans as you make the winning catch, boogie down rock-star style in front of your bedroom mirror, or turn your desk into a cockpit, the ensuing hilarity will help you see that lighthearted fun and adulthood are not at all incompatible. You are Always Wrapped in Wings of Pure Love
We are drawing on the compassionate and timeless wisdom of The Gabriel Messages to provide insight and inspiration that we can apply every day of our lives. For this week's issue, the message from Archangel Gabriel is reminding us that we are not alone and there is never a time when we are not cared for and loved beyond our capacity to understand. The Gabriel Message Card for this Week There is never a time when you are not wrapped in the wings of Pure Love. I remember receiving this message from Archangel Gabriel at a time when I felt very lost and alone. It soothed my heart in a deep and comforting way. So many people feel alone right now, and they don't have a sense of connection to God or the Angels who have supported them throughout lifetimes. It takes intention and some effort to retrain your thoughts to create a focus on this Divine Presence within you. That is why I loved the beautiful visual image of being surrounded in Wings of Pure Love. I could sense with my imagination the feeling of being wrapped in feathers of white light that were imbued with the sweet feeling of Love. I could even imagine that these feathers were brushing away any sadness or pain. I could also taste Divine Love in that little sweetness I sensed at the back of my tongue. There is a quote from Einstein I love: "Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution." Through our imagination, we have a powerful tool that will allow us to become creative and open to new levels of consciousness. These images raise our vibrational frequencies and create empowered connections to Source energy and our guidance system. Even though it may not seem very sophisticated, this visualization practice inspires our heart's intelligence. One day a friend and I were walking. She told me that she would receive a white feather whenever she doubted the presence of Angels working in her life. For fun, I said I also wanted a sign like that. Within the next two steps on the path, there lay a fluffy white feather. I still have it. Here it is: Within our hearts is the greatest level of guidance, love and intelligence that we have ever known. Our heart is more powerful than our brain (according to Heartmath.org). It is certainly more resourceful than that part of us that judges these practices as childlike. In fact, our spirits respond to the magical way in which our inner child is filled with the devotion of the heart. The magic of synchronicity has become a clear indicator for higher frequencies in the dimensional shifting. When these deep feelings of love and wonder raise our frequency, we become capable of creation at a level we have never before experienced. Allow a little sweetness to enter your very practical, grounded world. Allow the wonder of a child to become your new open-minded approach to life. In Buddhism, it is called the Child Mind and is a requirement for allowing yourself to be trained by a wise and enlightened master. Divine Presence, I ask for a sign that I am being guided and blessed in every moment. I want to have such a powerful experience within my heart that I know that I am always being wrapped in Wings of Pure Love. Please help me to open my mind and heart to the universal flow of energy that allows me to have a full experience of the Divine working in my life. In turn, I dedicate my life and all my actions to bringing more Peace into my heart, and into the hearts of all humanity. Thank you God. And so it is. ShantaGabriel.com May 21, 2019 The Gabriel Messages #12 There is never a time when you are not wrapped in the Wings of Pure Love. Dear One, This is a time when the forces of Light and Love are very close to your daily consciousness and you are blessed in a way you have never before known. You have only to turn your attention away from what does not work in your life, and turn toward that which is positive and worthwhile. This may sound simplistic and too good to be true, especially when you have such overwhelming problems in your world today. However, you are not alone. In fact, there is never a time when you are not wrapped in the Wings of Pure Love. Turn your attention to the feeling of love that is hovering around you. With a little imagination, you can even feel the presence of the angelic beings who are working closely with your earth at this time. The Angels carry a vibration very different from your normal world. It is a powerful force of love and light. Imagine being enfolded in this light, with an incredible sense of Divine Love flowing into your heart. Let this love spread throughout your entire body. As this love fills you and surrounds you, your fears begin to drop away, and beauty becomes a greater part of your life. Practice Imagine what it would feel like to be filled with so much beauty and love that it would not matter where you were, or what your physical eyes could see at any moment. You would be basking in the warmth and goodness of the loving presence of the Angels, and this would transform your perception of reality. When you can continue to remember that you are wrapped in Wings of Pure Love, and that you are filled with loving light, you will begin to vibrate at a higher level of consciousness and this in turn will create change in your immediate world, on a physical level. Just this small shift in your awareness can create miracles. To have a "miracle" consciousness is to have an awareness that this is your true state of being. To be in that miraculous glow of love, to trust in the universal flow of your life, and to receive a new level of goodness — this is the way you were meant to live. To actually live this way, however, you must turn the focus of your attention away from problems and troubles toward the essence of God within all things. Sometimes this means that you must close your physical eyes and really feel the Wings of Pure Love surrounding you. So take time every day to turn within yourself to the presence of God and the Angels. Where your attention goes, energy flows. Ask yourself if you are giving more attention to the challenges of your world or to your miraculous link with the Universal Power of good that exists in all things. You are not alone. You have powerful forces available to you in order to begin this transformational work in your life. You have a guardian Angel whose job it is to assist you, and you have the benevolent force of the Divine that is the One Presence within all things. These gifts exist within you, and within all situations occurring in your life. At times it may be difficult to see the gift in your present situation. But there is a gift, and asking to see it will help to bring this awareness to your consciousness. So as you go through your day, keep remembering that you are incredibly loved. Not only by the Divine Presence within all things, but the Angels are with you, blessing you in every moment. Remember also: There is never a time when you are not wrapped in wings of Pure Love. Shanta Gabriel for Archangel Gabriel May 21, 2019 ShantaGabriel.com Instant "brain hack" for deleting worry
by Karl Moore Have you ever worried about something TOO MUCH? Ever gotten to the point where you just want to "switch off" those negative concerns and anxieties, at least for a few minutes? Today, I'm going to show you how to do exactly that. Let me tell you a story. Last night, I couldn't get to sleep. For some reason, my mind kept circling back to an old relationship that went sour. I ended up feeling a little worried and anxious. We've all had those moments before. The times when we're worrying too much about things, and they start to affect our normal lives. Whether you're concerned about money, health, family, career, or anything else. Well, you can immediately dissolve any such problematic emotions with a really simple brain hack. Here's what I did last night... Step One: Firstly, I reminded myself of that brilliant personal development realization: "I am not my emotions." I experience emotions. But I am not my emotions. Step Two: Then I visualized all of the worrying thoughts in my head, and imagined them wrapped up inside a little brain-shaped bubble -- and that bubble drifting outside of my head. I instantly felt a calming, a release, as the thoughts were "removed." Step Three: And then... I imagined taking that same bubble, and throwing it far off into the distance, never to be seen again. As I did so, my sense of calm increased still further. Step Four: Repeat until you feel totally clear and free of all uncomfortable emotions and thoughts. The technique took 15 seconds. When finished, I checked in with myself. My mind was totally calm. No worry, fear, anxiety. No troubling emotions. No obsessive thoughts. I felt totally relaxed. And for me, in that chilled out zone, I dropped straight off to sleep. Sounds too simple to actually work? This easy 4-step, 15-second technique actually combines visualization, NLP and a releasing technique to produce pretty startling results. It can be used any time you're troubled by an emotion you just want to get rid of. Try it the next time your brain is running riot with its crazy thoughts. You might just surprise yourself. (Here's another awesome way to master your emotions and enjoy a calmer mind.) Love, your #1 fan -- Spring Newsletter: Sowing Good Spiritual Seeds
Jill Michelle Thu, May 9 Finally the weather is more spring-like and the sun is shining its warmth upon the earth. Soon we will be planting seeds in our gardens and patiently awaiting our harvest. Our harvest depends on what seeds we sow, just as our spiritual growth depends on what spiritual seeds we sow. Here are a few ways to ensure that you are cultivating an abundant spiritual path. Plant a seed of happiness to all who you see. When you smile, even if you have to force it, you will feel happier. It’s quite amazing and true. Smiling even improves your immune system! “Dr. Gupta, a neurologist from IGEA Brain and Spine explains a smile spurs a chemical reaction in the brain, releasing certain hormones including dopamine and serotonin. Dopamine increases our feelings of happiness. Serotonin release is associated with reduced stress. Low levels of serotonin are associated with depression and aggression. Low levels of dopamine are also associated with depression. Even forcing a fake smile can legitimately reduce stress and lower your heart rate.” For more information see this link. https://www.nbcnews.com/better/health/smiling-can-trick-your-brain-happiness-boost-your-health-ncna822591 When you sow the seed of helping someone who’s in need, whether it is a neighbor, a stranger or a homeless person, you are sowing the seed for someone to help you some day when you are in need. Doing kind deeds with an open and love-filled heart will bring the same in return. Sowing financial seeds will bring financial harvest back to you, sometimes multiplied many times. There are many ways to sow financial seeds, such as sponsoring a foster child, giving to the poor, volunteering, helping people and animals and the environment and anything that helps to create a better world. When you give with a loving heart with the intention of generating goodness in someone’s life you too will receive a generous harvest of goodness back. Love, Peace, Joy and Hope, Jill Michelle P.S. We sponsor two orphanages in Kenya, and supply coats, hats, mitts, boots, and comforters to the homeless people in Hamilton. Anyone who wants to help with these ventures please email me for more information, thanks. If you don’t want to receive these emails anymore, please email me to that effect. Thanks. Your life matters and you are here for a reason. Your job is to determine what your purpose is. My life purpose is to help others find answers. I’m here to help you and any family or friends you send my way.

May 2, 2019 | 0 “I wish I could________(fill in the blank.) But, I don’t have the confidence.” If you’ve muttered the words above you’re not alone. I frequently hear these thoughts expressed by my intuitive reading clients. Most of us feel at least a little anxious if not downright scared when we contemplate trying something new. It requires a leap of faith and…what if we fail? What then? What separates the folks who succeed from those who stay stuck in the low self-confidence rut? What hopes/goals/dreams do you have? Perhaps it’s to own your own business, learn a new skill, buy your first home or even to begin dating again. That’s your intuition encouraging you to move out of your comfort zone! Here are four powerful ideas that you can use today to increase your confidence and move in the direction of success. Use A Confidence Boosting Ritual There are all sorts of techniques that successful people use to get beyond their fear. One of the most common is to assume the “Wonder Woman” or “Superman” stance. To do this, stand up straight with your shoulders back and put your hands on your hips. Take a deep breath in, and as you exhale say to yourself one or all of the following: “I can do this!” “ Things are going to change for the better now.” “I am strong and confident.” “I act with confidence and courage and things work out for me.” As you say these statements really feel their meaning deep inside you. In other words, say it like you mean it! Ask Yourself The Right Questions Your intuition can guide you to the most successful outcome when you learn to ask good questions. Instead of questions like, “What’s wrong with me?” Why am I blocked?” Or “Why can’t I…make more money, have a great relationship, find a good job, etc.?” Try these instead: “What’s my right next step?” “What could I do to feel better right now?” “What does my gut tell me about this situation?” “What do I need to know today?” “What’s the best way to proceed?” The answer doesn’t usually come via a big booming voice. Often it will arrive as a still, quiet inner voice, an “aha” moment, or an idea to try something new that hadn’t occurred to you before. Intuition is your inner compass pointing you in the right direction. Change Your Thinking “It won’t work.” “I’m not good at this.” “These things never go my way, so why bother?” “That’s impossible!” These are statements that people use that are the preamble for failure. Begin to recognize the common statements you use that make you feel discouraged and hopeless. See if you can begin to shift them in a positive direction. Examples are: “I’m willing to see things differently.” “I’m resourceful enough to handle any setbacks that come my way.” I’m finding it easier to focus on my goals and follow through.” “Things have a way of working out.” Do a Google search for self-confidence affirmations. Try out some that you find empowering. Write them on post-it notes and place them where you’ll see them: in your wallet, on a mirror or on the wall of your office. Move Out Of Your Comfort Zone Everyone has a different set of circumstances that make up their comfort zone. When you choose to move out of the perceived safety of the known and into the unknown, miracles will begin to occur. With each risk you take, you’ll start to feel more and more comfortable. You’ll find that the Universe will start to deliver your dreams to you more quickly. Your self-confidence and self-esteem will improve and you’ll begin to feel powerful. Your vision of yourself and what you can achieve in the world will begin to expand. As you become bigger, you’ll find you can hold a vision of what you want to achieve, and before you know it, success will be yours. You already have more power than you can imagine! What can you do today to step out of your comfort zone and begin to build your self-confidence muscles? Powerful self-confidence probably won’t develop overnight. Learn to take baby steps and notice the small shifts in your life. They will show up as less anxiety, more ease in making changes and an increase in the knowledge that you are moving towards your goals and intentions. Self-confidence is a wonderful thing. It’s the building block for creating a life you love. You deserve it! Lynn A. Robinson is a leading expert on the topic of intuition.
