The Higher Self – Your Link to the Angelic Dimensions

Dear Ones,

Did you know that you have within you the portal to all the guidance and inspiration you need to ride the waves of these changing times? This portal can be called your Higher Self. Archangel Gabriel introduced me to my Higher Self in 1990, letting me know that this was the way that I connected with the messages he was sending me. Recently I was told that the Archangels have lifted the veils and are actively working between dimensions to make the bridge more graceful between your conscious mind and your Higher Self. Considering the magnitude of the shifting sands of beliefs and the events that are impacting millions of souls, it is not surprising that the Archangels would intervene to assist people so they could contact the realms of Divine Guidance more freely.

If you are comfortable with the idea of Angels working with you, consider inviting them to assist you in many areas of your life. The Angels will work through your Higher Self, that aspect of you that is connected to your soul and contains the Divine Spark. They are using the link to your Higher Self to help coordinate your awakening consciousness. It is a big help to have your Higher Self filter the energy frequencies and allow you to only receive that which is appropriate for you.

From the time of my first contact with Archangel Gabriel, he was very clear about the role of my Higher Self in making connection to the dimensions that allowed me to receive guidance and wisdom. The teaching tools he gave me, such as the Angelic Alignment posted on my Resources site, made it possible for me to align with my Higher Self through the chakra system, and create a connection I could learn to trust.

The italics in this message are transmissions from Archangel Gabriel:

The seed of God that you can call your Higher Self for simplicity’s sake, is so in touch with your soul that they work in tandem to bring about the fulfillment of your spiritual purpose on Earth. Whenever you feel lost – it is your Higher Self that is missing from your conscious awareness. Taking the time to raise your vibrational frequencies in order to connect with the link to the Angelic Dimensions and all your guidance systems, offers you an experience of the living presence of Divine Love that will melt your resistance and feed your heart in a way nothing else can.

When those who have been traumatized by the organized religions throw away the idea of a Higher Power, their minds often cut off inspiration from the Higher Self. Yet when they ask for help thus opening to higher energy frequencies, the intuition that comes through them is brilliant. Some who profess to be non-believers have become very proficient at finding parking spaces! Yet they do not believe it is inspired by the Angelic Realms or their link to intuition from the God spark within their Higher Selves.

There are many names for the Higher Self. In truth it is the portal to the most sacred, authentic, divine, eternal part of you. This Higher Self is your link to the God Mind as well as your soul purpose. Your Higher Self acts as a bridge between Heaven and Earth, bringing you all that your soul needs to fulfill your Divine destiny in this lifetime. Your Higher Self will act as a filter so when you decide to open yourself to new teachings and inspiration, you can command your Higher Self to allow only that which is in your highest good to come to you, aligned with your soul purpose and appropriate for your next steps in life.

Because millions of Lightworkers have been so powerfully successful in bringing more Light to the planet in the past years, the Archangels have lifted the veils between your Higher Self and your conscious mind. You can now have clear direct contact in a way that was never before possible. One of your greatest gifts is within you awaiting your command.

Your Higher Self offers you a key to awakening communication with your Angels, Guides, and Master Teachers. Your Higher Self takes the questions and desires of your soul, then feeds you inspiration to provide answers and the creative solutions you require so you can fulfill your life purpose. Your Higher Self is the greatest friend you have within your human form. It is the link to becoming the Blended Being, in touch with the Light from the Highest Source of Love as well as the connection to your life as a physical human active in this world.

Your Higher Self is the most awakened part of your full human manifestation. Integration of the Divine spark within your physical world begins to flow with so much more grace when you initiate access to this aspect of yourself that ALWAYS has your highest good as the paramount focus. You can trust your Higher Self and truly believe that when you ask for assistance, you can safely open to new guidance, wisdom and the creative solutions that will be gracefully provided.

Perhaps you have such a low idea of who you are that you can’t imagine a part of yourself that could be so elevated or wise or important. And yet if you can only glimpse the beauty and sacredness that is inherent within your Higher Self, you would see the greatest love you have ever known there within your own being. You would be able to receive floods of energy from the Light of Divine Love, the greatest nourishment your body, mind and soul have ever known. The Divine Activity of this energy center will feed you in a way you have longed for, and you will feel fulfilled. You can actually begin to love yourself in the way that is so necessary for your awakening. You will start to have Loving Acceptance for the challenges you encounter as a soul in a human body working in this world.

This could be the beginning of one of the greatest relationships you have ever known. Your Higher Self awaits your attention.

And so it is.

The Release of Fear

The Release of Fear is a Small Price to Pay for the Ecstasy of Full Merging with the Divine

Dear One,

Having come to a time of decision, you feel it is important to make the best one.  You know that what you decide will carry on and you are concerned and even fearful of the “what ifs.”  The only way you can truly make decisions that will best serve you now and in your future is to come to a place of peace and calm within.  And this means being in harmony with your Higher Self.

It is from this place that you will make decisions that are for the highest good of all concerned.  When you bring fear into your decision-making process it limits you by preventing the full expansiveness of the Divine Mind from working within your conscious mind.  It is this merging with God which enables you to feel free, whole and open enough to receive that which is right and true for your life at this time.

No matter how difficult it seems, it is very important that you learn to release the fear that constricts your thinking and actions.  Where you attention goes, energy flows.  When you focus on the fears, problems and the “what ifs” of your future life, this focused energy magnifies your fearful state.  It becomes ever more powerful and can even take over your world-if you allow it to do so.  Instead, put your energy into the creation of that wondrous state of being that will best serve you.

The first step in doing this is to breathe deeply and know in your heart that you are being divinely guided at this moment and at every moment in your life.  Prayer is also helpful in adjusting your attitude and opening yourself to truth.  You can say, “I surrender this fear to God, and I allow the One Mind to work in all my decisions.”  Even if you still have the feeling of fear in the pit of your stomach, the simple act of praying for release will start you on the path to right decision-making, and will open you to your highest good.  Yet often it takes a short while for the physical body to catch up with the mental processes, so it is important to give yourself sufficient time to come to a point of relaxation and expansion before actually making your decisions.

Practice

Take several relaxing, balanced breaths.  As you sit in this peaceful moment, allow your exhaled breath to drop heavily like a stone from the base of your spine down into the depths of the earth.  This will take the frantic energy from your mind and give you greater clarity.

As you inhale see yourself expanding with the pure light of God.  See it clearing your mind and calming your heart as you connect with your divine nature.  Now replace the fearful thoughts that so pervade your worldly consciousness with images of what you really want in your personal and professional life – images of radiant health, harmony in relationships, abundant cash flow, peace within your own heart.  Allow these images of your greater good to permeate your being.  Then give thanks for receiving them into your life.

Because you have been trained to be fearful and to worry, even though it is not productive, it takes practice to release the fear and to merge with your true divine nature.  The Angels are here to help you do this, enfolding you in wings of pure light and guiding your way to peaceful living.

So ask and you will receive.  Allow yourself to be open to the Divine Good, and to be receptive to all the beauty and truth within and around you, so that this good can begin to manifest and work though out your world.  If the bounty of the universe is what you want in your life, all you have to do is to let go of the fear that limits you, and allow the grace of God to work for you.  After all,

The release of fear is a small price to pay for the ecstasy of full merging with the Divine

Protection During Changing Times

On Wings of Light by Atmara - www.nwcreations.com

Dear Ones,

During these tumultuous times, thoughts having to do with protection of your person are never in vain. You are showing respect for the life you have been given. The energy of fear however, can replace the carefulness with which one regards life, and causing a chain reaction that can actually bring harm to the body. With that in mind we would like to provide suggestions for the protection of self during the upheaval of these changing times.

First and foremost, one needs to have Faith that you are never alone, and create a personal relationship with the ones who guide and guard you, no matter what you call them. Just knowing that you have a guardian angel who has been with you from your very birth into this life, can be a powerful antidote to the sorrow of feeling powerless and alone. Even in the psalms, it is said that  angels were given charge to watch over you. These guardian beings are waiting for your call. With a small amount of effort you can gain access to the angels so to create a closer relationship. Your intention and prayers to call your Guardian Angel into your consciousness are all that is required, along with an open mind and heart. You may decide to ask for a sign to show you they are with you, and then be aware. This sign may not show up in the way you imagine, because angels have a delightful sense of humor and are always looking for creative solutions.

Another guardian being worth remembering is the brilliant Archangel Michael. If you can imagine being surrounded in massive wings of Light at all times, you could consider this idea as truth at the core of your being. Archangel Michael is caring diligently for those who are working for the Light of Truth and Oneness during the changes occurring on Earth right now. He has been given charge of this eon of time as the planet and her people evolve into a new world of Peace and Harmony. Archangel Michael acts as an Archai who oversees the frequencies of change in order to manifest a more balanced world. He knows that large groups of people empowered to hold Divine Love can create Grandeur, and each person must participate individually in their own way. Archangel Michael has the energy of Protection and Divine Light available to call into your being with a special connection to your Manipura Center or Solar Plexus chakra. This energy center is highly vulnerable to your thoughts of fear and powerlessness, and will affect your ability to feel strong and confident. This chakra is also highly charged when you bring Golden Light, like the warm sun, into this center in order to create a strong core of protection within you. Archangel Michael is available to assist this process in a powerful way that has never been possible before. Even a simple prayer request can call the Light of Archangel Michael forth. Here is one example of a prayer that may be useful:

I call on the Light of Archangel Michael to empower the center of my being with Golden Light. Bring to me your Shield of Strength, Courage and Protection, so I may stand as my most empowered self during this time of change. Surround me in rings of Golden Light, aligned from Heaven to Earth, and centered in Peace, Harmony and Divine Love. I AM grateful for your Grace and Protection in my life. I thank you for the Light you bring to all beings and to the Earth at this time. So be it. Be it so. Amen.

It is time to call forth the legions of Angels to act in the world right now. This will activate a long held promise for this incredibly beautiful planet. The Earth is meant to provide the soil and the grounded impetus for the Era of Peace and Harmony that is beginning. This need within each being is what impels everyone to continue in the face of the greatest darkness and challenge many have ever known. You would never be left alone to face the magnitude of change which is upon you. You can trust this promise and let it empower your inner knowing so that you can gain more faith in yourself and those who guide your way.

Regard yourself as a holy vessel and fill your being with Light. Know you are worthy of care and protection. Keep your prayers high, as you do what you need to do in your physical world to feel safe. You are Beloved.

And so it is.

Who Did You Say You Were?

On Wings of Light by Atmara

My Initiation with the Archangels

by Shanta Gabriel

“Is this an earthquake? Has lightning struck nearby?” The intensity of the light behind my closed eyes is brilliant, and the room is shaking in a way we native Californians interpret as an earthquake. Slowly, a growing awareness begins to register on my conscious mind, “I live in Hawaii, where earthquakes and lightening are rare occurrences. What is going on?” I wondered. Though I had been trying to focus on the woman lying before me on the massage table during a healing session in my living room, the golden light shining behind my eyes was awakening my curiosity.

Allowing my eyes to open to a slit at first, they popped wide when I observed the radiant visitor at the foot of my table. The source of the room’s unnerving quakes was a glowing figure standing in golden light, with wings so large they reached beyond the ceiling. Remembering my client happily breathing deeply on the table, I resisted the impulse to scream and fall backwards. I needed to stay calm so I would not cause her alarm.

My mind was racing, as the emanations of power from this winged being streamed across the room. “Who are you?” I ventured in a silent whisper to the glowing apparition. A booming voice in my mind answered, “I am Archangel Michael.” I looked again at the radiant figure blocking my view of Diamond Head and the ocean beyond. I gazed up at the being whose wings were as wide as the patio door before they disappeared through the ceiling in gold light. I could feel the molecules in my body rearranging themselves. I was being called into an unfamiliar realm, and if I had not already been on my knees, they would have buckled. My client sighed, and I came back into the present moment. It was time to complete our session of the healing work I had been doing for years. My last thought to the one who said he was Archangel Michael could best be interpreted as, “Right. Thank you for sharing, but I’m busy now.”

My conscious mind felt as if it were turning flips. There was no reference in my background that included angels. I had no church upbringing as a child. As an adult, I studied a Hindu tradition that cautioned against being lost in visions that may represent the distracting illusions of the ego rather than true spirituality of the heart. The likelihood of an archangel appearing in my living room was too overwhelming for my rational mind to contain, and I felt intimidated by that massive Angelic presence threatening to rock my world. As I helped my client to sit up, she commented on how well she felt while noticing the breathing problems, which had brought her to my table, had disappeared. I never mentioned my celestial visitor. I also did not say anything to my husband later in the day, since he had already made a reference to the confusion he experienced with my “esoteric side.” It appeared that I might have finally gone around that mental bend in the road to the place my family was sure I had been heading for many years. Yes, I was a wanderer on the path of higher consciousness, an explorer of spiritual belief systems, metaphysical truth seeker and what some called, a hippie. Never mind the fact that it was now 1988 and I was over 40, and still wondering what I was going to be when I grew up. I knew that I had a path to follow and that my work needed a spiritual purpose to feel meaningful. I just did not know the form this calling was going to take, so I had been making prayerful entreaties to the Universe.

The visitations from Archangel Michael continued for the next year during the most intense sessions of my healing work. I kept up the prayers for my soul’s purpose to be fulfilled, and pretended not to notice the large winged being in my living room. Clients often commented on the radiant glow of golden light, but I never acknowledged the source of that radiance. I did not try to engage him in conversation, and just kept scrambling to find a grounding place in the material world of Honolulu after years of ashram living. A visitation from an archangel was not fitting even my wildest plans for a clue to my vocation in life. Looking back I can acknowledge the shift in my healing work with the arrival of Archangel Michael. The vibrational frequencies in my form of bodywork had taken a great leap, but I was still too intimidated to explore the meanings behind the gift of Archangel Michael’s presence. I could focus on the profound light enhancing my work, but could not reconcile an angel in my already emotionally turbulent world. It was most likely the attention I was giving to my emotional state that hindered my exploration of the mystery of an archangel’s presence in my life.

During this time, questions about my marriage were rampant. This personal upheaval mirrored the great changes on the world stage. After the Harmonic Convergence in 1987, the structure of the USSR collapsed, the Berlin Wall was torn down and it seemed as though the structures I had been so sure of, on many levels, were now crumbling. Though often confusing, it was also a heady time as the realization of possibilities for peace on earth, and new beginnings of global awareness for environmental action became more prevalent. My husband and I discussed divorce and made a decision to not only stay together, but to buy a condo on the windward side of O’ahu. This was possibly our version of a couple having a baby to stay together. Obviously a new house provided even more distractions to keep me from exploring the world of the Angelic Realms.

Archangel Gabriel Provides Emotional Support

Finally in 1990, while meditating in my new living room, the now familiar golden light flooded the field behind my eyes, only this time my heart felt like it was melting into a pool of love. The angel standing before me was nearly faceless in the bright light, and once again, his wings arched grandly beyond the cathedral ceiling. This time his eyes drew me to him in a new way, and I felt no fear. I heard him say he was Archangel Gabriel, and that he had a message for me. He proceeded to give me a series of exercises that allowed me to receive inspired communication from a light-filled world of love and compassion. These messages soothed my emotional bruises, filled me with hopefulness and a deep inner peace.

For years I wrote from this inspired place during my meditation times filling journals with wisdom and truth. I found that these beautiful messages provided a profound level of emotional support. Still I was quiet about these experiences, rarely sharing the information. When I did, my friends were very positive and encouraged me to create an outlet for this work. I decided to print small inspirational message cards. When I asked Archangel Gabriel what I should call them, I was told, Angel Messages. He then informed me that the name of my new business was to be “Angelic Dimensions.” Then one of my friends showed me the cover of Time Magazine from December 1993 since I did not read newspapers or watch the news. I was astonished that a national well-respected magazine would have a beautiful angel emblazoned on its cover, with the caption: The New Age of Angels. 69% of all Americans believe in angels. What in heaven is going on? The angel trend had officially begun. The world was finally ready to hear what the angels had to communicate, and many would make mega bucks on corny angel trinkets. In 1994 my first advertisement to launch the Angel Messages card sets was mailed to new age retail shops in the form of a flyer that said, “Help from Above for Your Bottom Line.” Out of 4000 mailings, I received 400 orders, an amazing 10% return, and my new work in the world had been revealed to me. I was out of the metaphysical closet admitting that I not only could see angels, they were talking to me.

Just when did YOU think you would need Faith?

For four years, I had a wonderful small business dedicated to inspiring people with messages from Archangel Gabriel and bringing peace to earth. In retrospect, it also would have been useful to ask for a profit from the Angelic Dimensions for my very earthly company. In 1999, after my business went into bankruptcy and we lost our home, my appendix burst, a divorce was imminent, I was in a car accident and menopause arrived, I would remember ruefully the guidance at the beginning of that fateful year: Just when did you THINK you would need faith? Angelic humor was reminding me that it is easy to have faith when things are going well, but having faith in that which is unseen when life is not feeling too graceful, is really the key to happiness.

During the painful time that followed, I knew I was being guided through the unknown, but only a step at a time. Beginning at age 56, I spent most of seven years without a home base, house sitting or traveling to look for an area that felt like home to me. I did not live anywhere for more than a few months at the most. By this time, most of the material belongings I still possessed needed to be released so I could travel more lightly. It was unsettling, and painfully difficult to look to the future or to the past. I was being forced to live in the present moment, something all the masters have been coaching for centuries. I had to recognize that in the present time, I had a roof over my head and I was OK. It had to be enough that I was warm and fed, no matter what my desires were. There was a visceral need to have tremendous faith that my deepest needs would be met, and my soul’s purpose was being realized, no matter how it looked. I had dedicated my life to God’s service, and this intention continued. Though it felt like I was lost and abandoned, I realize now that I was never really alone, and that I was taken care of and guided every step of the way.

Now ten years later, I have used some of the messages I received from Archangel Gabriel and put them into a book published in February 2008 called The Gabriel Messages. In 2010, I produced a companion card set, The Gabriel Message Cards. I am receiving messages from Archangel Gabriel again on a regular basis and they have found a new creative abode through my website. Though my life has taken some interesting turns, I am happier than I have ever been.

Consider an Archangel in Your Life

I believe that Archangel Michael was the advance courier for my work in the world. He has never been more available for those people who feel like they are becoming spiritual warriors. As we work together with others to anchor more Divine Light on the planet, it brings the energy of Heaven to Earth leading to spiritual evolution. The Archangels are available now in a way they have never been in recent history, if only people are willing to listen. The earth has been receiving unprecedented angelic light and healing energy that can bring encouragement and support to the hearts of all beings. The power available from the Angelic Realms strengthens our core spiritual energy so we can stand up for the truths we believe in, and bring greater understanding and positive change into our lives. The love the angels offer can provide depth and meaning to hearts that are starving in a world where overemphasis on the material is the norm. The angels are here to open doors to a refined state of Truth and uplift our hearts and minds. With the help of the Angelic Dimensions we can connect to the child like spirit within each of us, and offer hope to the confused adult within us in need of direction. I truly believe we are in the midst of an evolutionary shift allowing us to bring value into our personal lives, more interest in peace to all hearts in the world, and healing for the environment. We have been gifted with a magnificently beautiful planet, and have the opportunity to serve the Creator of this Earth with the profound support of the Angelic Realms.

Perhaps you will consider a visitation in your life? Try inviting an Archangel into your living room. You may be surprised at the blessings that take place.
