Dear Friends,
I am delighted to
offer you a highly effective tool for bringing peace and serenity to
your mind and heart.
For the last
several weeks, I have been feeling an extra boost of angel power
around me. I didn’t know why, but I could feel that it was intended
for a purpose. Then, when Quado enfolded it into two messages, I
began to understand that I was intended for you as well.
First, I received
a beautiful message many of you wrote to me about, “Angels Sing Your
Name.” Then I received the message below, “A Gift from an Angel,” a
guided visualization that gives you the power to bring your mind to
sweet, serene silence.
I loved “A Gift
from an Angel” so much, that I decided to record it and work with it
daily, so that I might share with you how to use it in your life.
The results were remarkable and I am delighted to share them with
you now.
I used this
meditation in several ways. I used it alone on days when I could
only spare a few minutes for meditation. I found that the seven
minutes I spent listening and visualizing with the angels had the
restful and clarifying effect of a full half-hour.
On days when I
had more time, I listened to the recording before my mantra
meditation. I found that it quieted my mind down so quickly that my
mantra meditation was much more peaceful and effective.
And the best part
of all is that by using it every day, it became a tool I could use
during the day, even under stress. Whenever I found that my mind
was focused on a worrisome thought, reciting the same thought over
and over as our minds will sometimes do, I just mentally pulled out
the angel’s wand, dipped it into the rosewood box, and touched the
light of silence to my forehead. A flood of blue-white silence then
entered my mind, giving me the space and time to regain my bearings.
I hope this
meditation
resonates as deeply with you as it has with me.
A Gift from an Angel
Today, you will
receive a gift from an angel. A precious gift that you can use
every day for the rest of your life.
Take a deep
breath in, and then release it and let yourself drift down until you
are completely relaxed.
See now that
there are two angels hovering in the air before you. They are
bright and beautiful, their white gowns fluttering gently from the
breeze created by their slowly moving wings.
The angel on the
left comes forward. She holds out a golden silk net and asks you to
put into it all of your burdens from the past. And so now, do
this. Give her the burdens of regret that you are carrying on your
back, all of the things you wish you had done differently. Give her
the disappointments and frustrations when you did not receive what
you needed and desired. Hand it all over and feel yourself lighten.
And now, reach
into your heart and remove the heavy stones of unforgiveness, every
bit of blame and anger that lodges there, deep in your heart.
Remove these stones and put them into her silken net. Feel your
heart lighten.
Now the angel on
the right comes forward. She also holds out a golden silk net and
asks you to put into it all of your fears of the future. Take every
worry and anxiety and give it to her. Remove every doubt about your
abilities to handle what may come and put them into her net. Take
your fear of the imagined future and hand it over.
And now the two
angels fly to the heavens with their golden silk nets, full of your
burdens, doubts and fears. They hold them up to the light where
they are instantly transmuted into love.
And a gentle rain
begins to fall on you, a rain of pure and cleansing love. Your
burdens have been accepted by the light and completely resolved
within it.
And now you are
deeply blessed with love.
It flows and
flows, soothing and purifying. You are showered with love and peace
as the angels sing.
And now you feel
completely cleansed, completely whole.
A third angel
appears before you, brighter and bigger than the other two, her
wings made of glowing light. She is holding an ancient and
beautiful box of rosewood inlaid with gold and silver, etched with
symbols that somehow seem familiar to you.
She opens the box
and you see a great light within, a light your mind instantly yearns
for. She dips a wand into the box and pulls out the light on the
tip of her wand. Slowly, she then lifts the wand toward your
forehead.
She pauses, looks
into your eyes and asks permission to give you this great gift. You
nod your head. Yes, yes, you will accept this gift.
And so, she
touches the wand to your forehead.
The minute the
light touches your forehead, your mind is filled with peaceful
silence. It is full and delicious, satisfying, a silence unlike any
you have ever experienced, a silence thick with peace and love. A
silence so deep and so wide, so bright and full, that all thought
recedes.
And the light
within your mind is growing brighter and brighter, as you begin to
see that silence begets silence and that even one drop of silence
from the angel’s wand can cause a brighter and brighter silence to
envelop your mind, filling it so that the old ways of being and
thinking have no home within your pure and sparkling mind.
And as she closes
the box, the glowing silence remains in your mind, peaceful and
serene.
And now she hands
these gifts to you, the box of glowing silence and the wand to pull
it out and place it in your mind. These are yours to keep. These
are yours to have forever. And as you open the box, you see that it
has been refilled with glowing light, and you know in your heart
that this will ever be so.
If the light of
silence in your own mind begins to dim, if old shadows begin to fill
it, you can simply open your rosewood box, inlaid with the symbols
of silence, dip in the wand, touch it to your forehead and instantly
your mind will be filled with peace, glowing with silence, and your
heart will have the space and time it needs to send healing love
throughout your entire body.
Ah, what a great
gift this angel has given you, the gift of silence, a treasure
beyond all imagining, and the power to give it to yourself whenever
you choose.
Angels
Sing Your Name
If all of the
love in the world were contained in one star, it would shine for
you.
If all the
answers in the world were contained in one word, that word would
speak your name.
If the full sea
of peace were contained in one drop of water, that drop of water
would be on your tongue.
You are the
beginning and the end, the alpha and omega, the source and answer,
the thought that reaches across time and the timeless beat of the
heart of God.
Your importance
is immeasurable, for you are what there is. The entire universe is
contained in one atom of your being. Each breath you take gives
life to all that is.
You do not have
to try to be this vital force. You simply are.
Now, right now,
go deeply into your heart and find the peace and love that reside
there. Now, right now, embrace yourself completely with love,
granting to yourself the right to be who you are, as you are,
without criticism and contempt, without dissatisfaction and
frustration, without blame and regret.
You, exactly as
you are, are good. You are what is needed. You are what is
wanted. The entire universe embraces you with love, and when it
does so, it simply embraces itself.
You cannot lose
the love that is there for you, for you are made of love. You
cannot lose the light that shines for you, for you are made of
light. You cannot disturb the peace that contains you, for you are
made of peace, peace and joy and light and love, all made manifest
in your being.
Simply be who you
are and you will hear the angels singing your name.
An Angel Sets You Free (a
Meditation)
Sit quietly and
close your eyes. Take a deep breath in and then out. And another
in and then out. And yet another, in and then out. And now, just
relax as we ask an angel to come to you and set you free.
See her before
you now, a beautiful angel floating in the air, her fluttering wings
outspread, a bright golden glow about her head and emanating from
her entire body. She is aglow with love, with caring and affection
for you.
First, she
reaches into a little bag of golden silk and pulls out a handful of
sparkling angel dust that she now tosses over you. It falls down
upon you, but instead of clinging to your skin, it becomes a band of
energy, bright and glowing, around you. This golden glow is
clearing the field around you, purifying it, removing any residue of
doubt or fear that has been clinging to you.
And now, she
pauses and looks deep into your eyes, asking permission. Nod your
head yes: Yes, you grant her permission to look into your heart.
She touches you
lightly over your heart and your heart opens wide to her view. And
as she looks within, you find that you can see it as well.
First, see that
your heart is glowing golden. It is made of love. It is a great
treasure within you, the place where the light and love are stored.
It is glowing and golden but it is also soft and pliable, able to
change and adapt as life requires.
But here and
there within your heart are some stones you have picked up along the
way, things that happened to you, things you considered sad or bad
at the time, and you stored them in your heart. At the time these
things happened to you, you were unable to just let them be or to
examine them and allow them to dissolve, and so you stored them
away, hoping that they would not exist in your life any longer.
But yet here they
are, stones that you carry in your bright and glowing heart,
weighing it down, making it less soft and pliable than it could be.
Stones that block some of the bright love from glowing and flowing.
Stones that you must carry every day, even though you are not even
aware that they are there.
Look at the
stones now. There are stones of unforgiveness, bitter and sharp.
There are stones of sadness, each a heavy weight your heart must
carry. There are stones of anger, hot and smoldering; stones of
fear, like chunks of ice that keep the warmth of love from spreading
easily; and many pebbles of doubt, which add up to a heavy weight
indeed.
The angel now
looks again deeply into your eyes. She is asking you a question.
Are you ready to free your heart of these burdens? Are you ready to
let all of this leave your life? Are you ready to forgive yourself
and others, to let go of the anger and bitterness and
disappointment? Are you ready to let go even of the doubts about
yourself? Are you ready to free yourself of fear?
Nod your head
yes: Yes, you are ready.
And now the angel
opens wide her silken bag. She reaches into your heart and removes
the stones one by one, taking them from your heart and placing them
in the bag. One by one, they come out of your heart. And with each
one that is removed, you can feel your heart growing lighter and
lighter. All the regrets are taken out. All the fears of the
future. All the doubts about what you can accomplish. All the
anger and frustration, all the disappointment, all of this is
removed.
Feel your heart
growing lighter and lighter. Feel yourself growing freer and
freer. Feel what it is like to let your heart glow as brightly as
it can, unencumbered by these burdens it has been carrying. You do
not need them any more.
And as your heart
glows more brightly, that glow spreads throughout your body. And
your body, now exposed to this bright glow of inner love, finds that
it no longer needs the habits and addictions that it has been using
to shield it from the energy of the stones. Your entire body now
feels light and free, bright and glowing.
And the angel
looks at you and smiles. Then she closes her silken bag and flies
up to the heavens, where she holds the bag to the light. And as you
watch, in a great golden burst of light, the stones are all
transmuted into love, love bright and golden. And a gentle shower
of love begins to fall down upon you, golden drops shimmering in the
sky and falling down upon you, pouring over you, covering you in
sweet love.
And this you
are. Love. Love glowing in your heart. Love glowing in your
body. Love shimmering all around you. Purified and clean, glowing
and golden, you are.
And all of the
possibilities of this precious life are glowing and shimmering
around you as well. You can do and be anything. You are utterly
fearless and confident. You are completely unburdened with the
past. You are in this moment only, shining and bright, feeling and
being love, knowing yourself as love and only love.
It is a new day
and a new life. You are born anew in love and the world lies open
before you. Step into it and embrace it now, right now. You are
this sparkling wonder of love. You are.
Golden Connection Meditation
Sit quietly and
close your eyes. Take a deep breath, in and out, then another, in
and out and another, in and out. Now, picture a bright golden ball
glowing above you. This golden ball is you, your higher self, the
part of you that is eternal and is always full of energy and love.
At this higher level you are made of love and energy; that is who
you are. See all of this energy now, glowing above you.
And now, open the
top of your head wide and let the light shine in. See the golden
shaft of light from your higher self flowing down into your body.
Watch it as it fills your mind and then swirls around, clearing away
the worries and fears, the regrets and disappointments. Watch the
golden light swirl until your mind is clear and clean.
Then watch as the
light goes lower down through your body, clearing your throat for
self-expression, opening your heart and melting the ice that has
built up within, flowing to your center where it opens up the
channels to the endless pool of peace that is yours, then down
further as it charges up your sensuality and forms a deep connection
to this physical life. Then watch it flow all the way down to your
feet, connecting you closely and deeply to this wondrous, earthly
experience.
And now, simply
stay in this glow for a time. If your mind drifts, just bring it
gently back into your body, to whatever spot in your body now feels
the clearest, the calmest and most connected.
And now focus on
your center, that glowing part of you that has expanded and deepened
through this meditatation. Find that gentle, calm and perfect place
and ease into it, settle in comfortably. Then from this center of
peace, let your focus expand to include your heart and feel there
the fullness of love, love of life, love of self, and an
all-encompassing love for this experience, this adventure that is
your life.
And now let the
glow spread from your center; keep glowing and glowing until the
light extends out several inches out from your body. Then let it
spread wider and wider, until your glow of love and joy reaches
several feet out from your body.
And now, in this
glowing state, look up into the sky. Feel the energy of the
universe. Feel yourself melding with it, being a part of it. Feel
it flowing down to the earth and touching all that is. Look at a
tree, a flower, a leaf, and feel the oneness that you are, the way
that you are a piece of life and it is a piece of you.
Let your glow
spread further and further until you are the tree, the grass, the
clouds, the sky, the sun itself. Then further and further, your
energy and glow reaching the stars, the circling planets, the
swirling galaxies of being. This is all you, you just as you are,
you, right now, with life just as it is. You are one with it all.
This greatness is
you. This expansion and beingness and oneness are real and are
you.
You are this.
You are all of this. There is no beginning and no end, just this
endless, flowing oneness of being. This is who you are.
And now, slowly,
pull it all in. Take all of the oneness and beingness and energy
and pull it in toward you in concentrated form. Pull it in and in.
And with each beat of your heart, feel the energy of the entire
universe flowing through you, intense and concentrated, vibrating
and pulsating as it flows and flows within you.
And now, slowly,
angels appear and form a circle around you, floating in purity and
glowing brightly, singing of love and wonder. And you can feel an
intense love flowing from each of them toward you. You are
surrounded by the most intense love you have ever experienced. You
feel and know that you are a child of the universe, loved and cared
for, surrounded by help and guidance, the perfection of all that is
made manifest in your being.
All of this is
yours. All of this is you. You are love and you are loved. And in
this circle of caring love, glowing with the intense energy of the
universe, just be. Be you, just as you are. Be you and be glad.
And now, finally,
take one last deep breath and give thanks, give thanks for being
alive and being who you are, just as you are, glowing golden on this
most perfect of days.
