Taurus New Moon Meditation

Click on the link above for a 15 minute meditation that can assist in creating more connection to the energy of this new moon time. My friend, Kelly Beard, from www.KarmicTools.com has honored me by inviting me to lead meditations on special teleconferences, such as her Solstice and Equinox calls. The Taurus New Moon call on May 6 landed on Beltaine, the cross-quarter between the seasons. I wanted to share it for this new moon tomorrow.

On Thursday, May 13, at 9:04 pm EDT, we will be experiencing the Taurus New Moon.  Here is a summary of the information I  received in the call from Kelly. You can see a beautifully in depth look at the astrological information on her website.

I am delighted that Mercury went direct yesterday so we are not swimming up stream as much as we were. This new moon now offers some interesting possibilities.  We are being encouraged to commit to a life that reflects our true values. Though Taurus is interested in material comfort and security, the bigger question is “how do we define physical pleasure?”  What does true wealth really mean to you?

It is interesting to note the different aspects of the moon offers because it means that we would have support from the Universe if we were to explore those areas in life.  For instance, Taurus loves Beauty and Substance, so it is lovely to re-infuse our lives with those energies. Another aspect of this moon is stabilization of our foundations. We are creating strong roots to stabilize our lives in a way that brings us balance. At the same time we are giving a flow to this structure so it is not rigid. Like a bamboo, we want our inner structures to be able to bend but be strong.  This helps to bring us back into the present time, because it is beneficial to stop for a moment before taking action.

This new moon is about our fundamentals. We may be rebuilding our basic structures so we can be more self-sufficient and creative. We are aligning our inner and outer selves so we can feel more integrated. We are also being encouraged to try new things, and ground those new ideas that we are cultivating. Those things that don’t work we just need to compost. It is a good time to initiate new goals and visions, and have faith in our creative abilities.

Every new moon, I make a list of goals or intentions for the month. I believe it helps me to focus, and lets the Universe know what I am focused on. I place it on my altar and often read it if I start feeling to expanded, and need to ground my work. I ask for special help from the Angels for those areas where I feel a bit shaky. It is always interesting to see how those specific intentions have manifested as the month progresses.

I hope you are feeling a new inspiration for Spring.  Thank you for your support for my work and the good energy you are bringing into the world.

Many blessings, Shanta

Comments about the meditation:

Hi Shanta,

Just a quick note to say I just listened to your meditation. Wow.
Another amazing offering that needs to get out there :-)

I actually cried while listening to the first few minutes. I have no
idea why, and that’s okay — I do that sometimes during a healing
release. Thank you!

from L.W. , 5/18

Do you take your self to be your Dearly Beloved – to have and to hold, to love and to cherish, to honor and respect from this day forward, for as long as you live?

As these words were spoken through my mouth, I was stunned into silence. If I had not been sitting cross-legged on the floor, I would have fallen out of my chair. The recorder was still on, the channeling of the meditation for the second chakra continued, while I gathered my focus to listen intently for the resounding voice of Archangel Gabriel in my mind. “Say yes,” he said. “Say yes,” I whispered into the microphone. The intention of this recording was to assist all those listening to the meditation, not only to connect more deeply with the attributes of the second chakra, but also to encourage them to have the same profound experience of my beloved Archangel Gabriel that I was in the midst of.

Recording these meditations for the Archangel Study Program had become a real adventure in faith, because I never knew what I would say when I sat down at my altar with the recorder on. This message from Archangel Gabriel had a profound affect on me as it represented a Sacred Union between my small self with the Divine Self that exists within me and in us all.

I knew that this sacred marriage being offered was the only way I could reach the union with all these parts of me – balanced in my inner male/female, in harmony and acceptance with all my varied, sometimes less appealing aspects, becoming totally loving of who I am as a person. If I ever longed for a spiritual partnership, I realized in that moment, that it began with me at a core level within my being.

So many people ask in their private life path readings with me if they will ever find their soul mate. I also have wondered this for myself, although I have heard that a true soul mate is a person that pushes all one’s most uncomfortable buttons. That version did not exactly fit into the romantic image I was holding! There are so many beautiful books written on this subject that it is clearly something that many people are interested in. What became obvious in this early morning channeling of Light and practical wisdom from Archangel Gabriel, is that loving union within myself must exist in order to experience union with another person. When I can honor and respect myself, I can also give that to my partner. Finding true love begins with loving me to the very depths of my being, wrinkles and all.

This is only one of the lessons Archangel Gabriel was teaching me on the morning I recorded the meditation for the second chakra of the Archangel Study Program. He was also describing other attributes of that energy center, such as balance, harmony and creativity. In fact, the power of the creativity being offered in the second chakra, was the revelation for the Law of Creative Solutions. I know that if we were just enlightened enough to see from the perspective of the Angels, we would know there was a creative solution in every situation, no matter what. I have found over the years that I can ask the Angels for this to be revealed to me and within a short time – Creative Solutions Abound! You can read more in my archives.

The teachings of the Archangels involved in my study program, and the qualities represented in each of the chakras being studied, allowed a deepening of understanding and connection within me, as well as those who have journeyed with me into the realms of the Angelic Dimensions. Since it is often difficult in busy lives to incorporate a seven-month program of study, I have decided to offer these profoundly beautiful meditations in other ways. The whole set of Archangel meditations, with the study materials from the Archangel Study Program, has been available in a set of CDs and now can be accessed in download here. You can order them individually as well here. I will be sharing more adventures with the Archangels as time allows.

May we all find that place within ourselves where God dwells and we can experience the Sacred Union of the Self.

With Love and Respect, Shanta Gabriel

A Daily Practice of Devotion

Dear Ones,

Blast open the walls of your heart. Light up the skies of your mind and carry the presence of your soul’s purpose into the world. Allow the practice of your Spirit to become your path in life.

All the prayers you have uttered and the longing in your heart, these have been heard by the Divine. There are no parts of your being that are not known and loved beyond your capacity to understand. Create a place within you that believes this is true, a tiny speck of well being that allows the soothing nectar of God’s love to carry you through your life.

Without the need to attain any special gifts, offer your life to the Presence that knows your heart. Offer the confusion and pain, the fears of the Unknown and bring pure devotion into your heart so it will be cleansed. Allow any shadows to be lifted by the Light.

When you invite the Divine Presence into your world, Angels surround you to uplift your longing into a place where it can be used as a practice. When you create sacred spaces within you where you can bring the desires of your heart to sit in a spacious place of Light, it allows a healing of your heart to occur.

The Art of Patience

Without patience you will never realize the divine timing of the Universe. When you can continue your practice each day from a sense of devotion, it uplifts your spirit. Cease working for results and allow yourself to come to your practice with an attitude of wondrous adventure. Like a child, allow yourself to just BE in the Light of Pure Spirit. Even a brief moment of offering your devotion to the Divine will serve you by purifying your heart.

It is as though you clean the dust from the inner eye so you can see the Truth. Your daily practice of devotion offers you a way through life that can fulfill you from the inside out. Yes, this does require a bit of true faith. If you have even the tiniest speck of belief that there is a Divine Presence who loves you, it can begin to cleanse your heart. When you take the time each day for your spiritual practice, you are offering yourself a gift. You are giving your inner spirit priority over the outer world. You are offering yourself love. Your inner being will thrive by this continued shining of the Light into your soul. After some time you will notice your life changing and a more positive outlook surfacing. Your heart that was empty becomes full of Divine Love. Constantly practice your awareness of the presence of God. That is the key.

A Very Simple Daily Practice

Developing a daily spiritual practice may take some thought. Here are some suggestions that may be helpful:

  • Know that the sincerity and frequency of energy you bring will be the results you receive. Clear a space to light a candle and sit where you will not be disturbed. Pray to be in harmony with your soul’s highest good. If you have a question, you can write it down and place it under the candle.
  • Create a bridge from heaven to earth by bringing Divine Light into your energy centers. Consider asking Archangel Gabriel and your Higher Self to bring clarity and wisdom to your mind, Divine Love to your heart, Strength and Protection to your being, Creative Solutions to your life, and a nourishing connection to Nature.
  • Sit quietly in this Divine Light, concentrating on your breaths. It is calming to breathe in for the same number of counts you breathe out. Have a pen and paper handy to record inspiration that may come to you. Know that your answers may come later.
  • When you feel ready, say thank you to the Beings of Light that watch over you. Go about your day.  Trust that you have asked and you will receive that which was your clear intention. The important thing is that you gave time to your spiritual life. Even a few minutes will make a profound difference in your day.

Know you are Blessed

It is said that when you take one step toward God, the Divine will take ten steps toward you. All is possible when you give yourself time to receive love from the deepest sources of your being.

Know you are blessed, and especially know with all your being, that you are cared for eternally. And so it is.

The Light of Transmutation

You, Warriors of the Light, have been diligently working for years to ground Divine energy on the planet. You have continually respected and prayed for the earth and all its creatures, but now you have found yourselves in a holding pattern. As visionaries, you see the new direction very clearly and feel the impending changes, but you find yourselves face to face with your own karma. As the old patterns of thought, feelings and behavior invade the new world you are trying to create in your lives, frustration may be rampant. This karma seems to cut through your work, depleting energy and holding back all you are seeking to accomplish.

When you consider all the old patterns that you see clearly and want to change in your life, it may weigh like a stone around your neck affecting every waking moment. Transmuting this karma becomes of paramount importance in a person’s evolution, and creates a way through to new life. As Beams of Divine Light bombard the old energetic patterns, this energy breaks loose and frees energy so it can be channeled in the direction of new growth. Without focus, it can also become a vehicle of destruction. It takes faith, strength and a great power of focus, along with your intention to be a vehicle for planetary good, in order to transmute this energy.

Sensing the power of forces that work to divide and separate and being aware of the mass energy of fear, the pressure to bring more Divine Light to the earth has become a cause for focused attention.  The distraction of the karmic patterns as they are stirred by the increased energy is something the Angels have been aware of as well. It has become the time for an intervention of amazing proportions.

Divine Intervention

Throughout history, Archangel Gabriel has been the Messenger of God who intervened when the timing was perfect for a planetary shift. He was there for the parting of the Red Sea, the enlightened instructions to Mohammed, and the revelation to Mary of the birth of Jesus. We are facing such a time. The transmutation of karma is one of the links to the massive awakening available that will bring about a world of Peace and Light. There are many who have dedicated their lives to this powerful awakening. They have felt the calling and have worked diligently for many years. Their personal lives have sometimes been thrown into chaos, and struggle has become the norm. Throughout this time, they have not lost their faith and have continued to rededicate their lives to the presence of the Divine made manifest on earth. These are worthy goals, and many souls from all walks of life have kept their beliefs strong and their prayers high. The time for mass change is now.

Obviously there are certain cosmic laws of cause and affect, along with times when interference would hold back the individual soul.  There are also times when the karma can be lifted for the good of the great planetary being. Divine intervention is available at this time.

An Invitation from the Angels

Those who have committed their lives to uplifting the planet, and bringing more light into the world are being invited to step into a vortex of power created by the Angelic Dimensions. This Light-filled matrix is dedicated to planetary awakening. Within this matrix the release of old patterns of energy is safe and graceful. Hold yourself in alignment with the Truth that a group of dedicated souls can impact the earth with Light. Together you can anchor the Peace, the Harmony, the Divine Love, and the Respect for all of Nature that lies at the center of this Matrix of Light. Within this powerful center, there is a transmutation of the energy that no longer serves you or the planetary good.

Light can change matter in an instant. Light can transmute all stuck patterns within a human being in the same way. Step into this Vortex of Light, dear ones, and open to the release of all that has held back the manifestation of your powerful intentions for the planet. Clear yourself of doubt and know that dedication of your work and your lives for the good of the Earth’s evolution will bring you into alignment with the energies working toward this empowerment.

Imagine yourself surrounded by Light with the millions of souls who are committed to planetary awakening. Know that the power created by this group intention can create the energy necessary to bless each person with freedom from the old ways. Imagine the power that is released with this energy, see it lifted and transmuted with the golden light of the Divine. Send it out to all those places on the Earth that need help at this time. Pray for the highest good of the planet and for all beings. Do not get lost in the details of how it will happen or what it will look like. Together with all the Lightworkers, Planetary Healers and the Angelic Dimensions, dedicate yourself to the highest qualities of consciousness:  Oneness with Light, Harmony within all beings, Divine Grace, Wellbeing for all creatures who dwell on the earth, and Peace within the hearts of all beings. This mass dedication to the Light will transmute your karma and not only assist your evolution, but allow a more graceful evolution of the Earth as well. Know that the Light of Divine Grace brings Creative Solutions and Benevolent Outcomes.

The dedication of the millions of Lightworkers to bring about planetary awakening is the key that frees and transmutes the old karmic patterns into more Light. Do not be discouraged by any appearance that is contrary to this belief in yourself and the Angelic energy working through you. All of Heaven awaits as mankind teeters on the brink of annihilation or evolution. Those who were called to this time can make this change happen. You know in your hearts it is possible. The power of the Angelic Dimensions is at work to create this change on Earth and within your being. This is the mass awakening time you have been waiting for. Bless ALL BEINGS with God’s Light without discrimination, and know this evolution is possible NOW.

The power of Archangel Michael brings courage and protection, Archangel Raphael is bringing Divine Love and Healing, and Archangel Gabriel has been an intervening presence for centuries in order to manifest Creative Solutions. Now is the time to transmute the fear and karmic patterns so all beings can live in the harmony for which the Earth was created. Open to receive these blessings, and know it is your time to Receive Light, Give Light and Be Light.

And so it is.
