Life is really a series of unexpected adventures and the more we entertain and expect them, the more thrilling and rewarding life becomes. Let’s take a look at some ways we can be present in our lives and see and experience life as the present it truly is.

I have been called a bit of a Polly Anna or a cup half full person on more than one occasion, and I don’t have a problem with that. As long as there is room in the cup, be it half full or half empty, it means that there is still room for more. Many of us have this desire within us to want for something more in our lives. We aren’t not unhappy with what we have right now, we just know that there is supposed to be something more. Like the caterpillar preparing himself for the cocoon, he just knows that there is something more awaiting him when he emerges.

Opportunity

When you find yourself longing for more, there is often a strong desire to move on to something more meaningful in your life and that is the perfect time to see what is available to you, what you desire to do and how you can use these opportunities to your greatest advantage. Pay attention and be ready for action as when the time is right, you will want to work quickly and will need to buckle down, keep your focus and get things done so that you can make the most of what is being offered to you. 

Develop your qualities like honour, integrity, kindness, compassion and love. These are traits that will lead you through the changes with grace and ease and is a part of your spiritual and emotional growth. You cannot always choose what is happening around you, however you can always choose how you act and respond to those actions. It gets easier as you go long, and also remember to be kind and gentle with yourself as well

Affirmation: "I am ready to make the most of the opportunities that are available to me right now and I have many to choose from.”

Let it Go

Release anything you are holding on to that isn’t working in your life. There is no need to try to make something work that no longer does. See the gift from the experience and Let it go. When you look deep within your heart, you know the truth and what it means to you and then you know what to do...Let it go. View it with love and compassion and prepare to move on to the new beginnings you desire. Complete the cycle so that you can move on unencumbered and make the new situations and relationships you desire.

Open yourself up to receive as there is much that is new that is coming your way. View yourself and your life with compassion and keep doing your best. As you open yourself up to succeed, you will see that this is an abundant universe that has much to offer and enough for all.

Look within, clear what needs to be cleared, let it go and prepare to move on. It is time and you are ready.

Affirmations: "I am letting go. I release any judgements, arguments, or past hurts that I have been carrying within me. I have compassion for everyone including myself. I forgive myself for what I think I have done or not done."

You are Ready

It is time to move forward and so that can included forgiveness of the self, of the past and choices you have made. The angels wish to remind you that challenging people, situations and experiences are all to help you learn and expand. Without them, you would not grow. Bless them with unconditional love as you release them, the situations or perhaps something of the self. It has served you well and it is time to let it go.

Ask Archangel Zadkiel to help you transform your thoughts and feelings to be those of tolerance, understanding and love. He can help you to release any lower vibrations, and help you ascend to higher ways of being in your life and your path. He is a wonderful teacher and is waiting for those who are prepared to walk the path of light and to help you transmute all of the energy around you back to love.

Affirmation: "I invoke the violet flame and Archangel Zadkiel to help to transform my world and the world around me. I forgive myself and others for any perceived–real or imaginary - wrongs that have transpired and I am cleansed by the violet flame."

Take Regular Time-Outs!

Take a time out from all of your cares and taking care of others and take care of yourself. You are at your best and highest use to be in service when you are rejuvenated. Allow and ask your angels to help you to heal, to help you rest and help you find peace. Ask that your energy be cleared and balanced, and if you need to experience a physical healing, then ask for Archangel Raphael to overlight the process and your journey and share his healing light. 

Make regular time for yourself and release whatever in the world is dominating your thoughts. Feel the love and connection with your angels and let that become your dominant focus.  

You are nearing the end of a cycle and so look around to see if there is anything you have left incomplete. This is the time to finish off with the old so that you can move forward with ease and grace. Call upon your angels to comfort and guide you as you prepare for a new aspect of your journey. Remember to set your intentions as you create that which you are thinking about, and this is the time to consciously create in your world.

Affirmation: "I can easily release any thoughts or feelings that keep me from my center of peace and harmony. As I release these feelings I am able to be in a place that allows me to be in highest and best use to the Universe and all that is."

You are Entering a New Cycle

Be open and ready for new experiences and opportunities as you enter this new phase. It is most important for you to at least have the clarity that you want to experience something more. You do not have to state precisely where it is you wish to go or what that is, just have the intention for something better and grander than you currently are experiencing. It is the willingness to go beyond your current state that will help you shift your world. 

See the beauty within yourself and others. Each of you is a flower that can bloom and grow. Take time to nurture and love yourself as this will give you the strength and desire to take each step and make it meaningful. There is great love here for you or you would not choose this to experience. Make the best of each day and know that as you do this, more awaits you when you awaken in your tomorrow.

Be Happy Now

 Be happy regardless, and love who you are right Now! Love all of your perfections and imperfections, for you are absolutely perfect right now to help you accomplish your life's mission. You will know when you are accepting yourself because you will feel great just as you are. Angel guidance reminds you there is something for everyone in this magnificent Universe and you are deserving, worthy and loved for who you are and to see yourself in that light. 

Affirmation: "I bless and appreciate every aspect of myself."

Take the time to say a prayer by setting your intent of what you would like to experience each day and be ready to make the most of everything and everyone and all the unexpected opportunities from Spirit to be living your life as the adventure you desire, and have a blessed day, every day.

Sharon's Take August 2013 ~ All Things Are Possible

 

 

July was a Wow month for me. For those of you who are not on my facebook or regular listeners to my show have heard, I got a new jeep (new to me) with the lucky winnings from birthday. It was really interesting, I won the 50/50 at the stampede on my birthday and since my old jeep has been limping along for some time now, I decided that I would use it toward a new vehicle.

 

A few months ago a neighbour of my mothers put a jeep on the road up for sale. Mom knew I really needed a new vehicle, so she asked about it. They wanted a wee bit more than we could put together so it went on the wish list. Anyway, when mom was away and I was staying out at her house I had the chance to look at the jeep and it was pretty much what I wanted so I just put it out there. In June we celebrated Dad's birthday and fathers day (he is on the other side) and the jeep was gone. I remember looking off the deck to where it was parked and hearing the message, "you will get it for your birthday", I thought, hey cool, I can live with that. So, July 1st rolls around and no jeep rolls around, and I thought, hmmm, I guess that one was wrong. I was volunteering at the Stampede and later one the money, and the people who owned the jeep where there when I won. We were talking and I said, well, it is too bad you sold your jeep, and she said, oh we didn't, we just moved it back to the yard. So I said, here with the money (it was only half what they were asking,) and everyone laughed. I texted my son to tell him of my windfall and he texted back that he could find a jeep cheaper in Vancouver. So, anyway, I began my search for a jeep, and I would send Nicholas a list and he was too busy to look. I was planning to go to Vancouver for a wedding and Seattle for a family picnic and wanted a new vehicle by then. I remember during on search of thinking, well, mercury is still retro, hmmm, just be careful. Nothing came together. I asked mom to call and see if they would look at offers on their jeep, so she did. We never heard back. Mercury went forward on July 20, and reminded Nicholas that I would be down and wanted to have a new jeep, so he began to look and did find some that I hadn`t, and the best one he found down there was still not as good as the one up here, so Nicholas said,  "Call the guy up there and make him an offer " so I  asked mom and she said she already did and offered him the $1500, and I laughed and said no wonder he didn`t call you back, anyway we got the Jeep and at a better price than imagined and my son paid the difference for my birthday. So, in the end, I did get that jeep for my birthday as the words said it just happened in the divine timing of all things and I got to go on my journey with my new Jeep, to my dear friends wedding and to the family picnic. I felt so blessed as well thought this is a wonderful story of timing and trusting.

Since we all enter a personal year on our birthdays, I thought I would also share some observations that I have noticed happening for me as well, I am curious to know if it was just me since I did start a new year, or if others noticed that things began to change for them during July. I would love to hear about your experiences of late since we have pasted the mid point of the year. Send me an email at sharon@playingwiththeuniverse.com I would love to hear from you.

 

And so now here is on to August, an 8 month, infinite, reminds us that All Things Are Possible...

 

When I asked my entourage what was up for August they said that this is the time to focus on our own personal development and getting things down for the year. This is an excellent month to work on your third eye, doing a cleanse and eating fresh food filled with life force energy and for those who didn't`t do a life review during the mercury retrograde should do so now. Here is a link Doing a Life Review  kit that includes 5 hours of information and meditations, 5 meditations as well as a 25 page booklet to help you overlighted by Archangel Jeremiel. It will be available for a short time for those of you on my email lists or blog readers at $25 cad.

 

So, back to our take for August...

 

There are 3 areas of focus for this month and they are on advancing your abilities to see and tap into the other realms, making sure that you trust that your basic needs will be met each month and that you are powerful and have guides and angels that are wise spiritual teachers who are watching over you and wanting to help you by instructing and guiding you to find finding a path for yourself that feels good and right to you.

 

This is a time of spiritual expansion. Join a group or gathering that will help you work on your skills and sensitivities. This means learning to work with or develop your abilities of the 6th sense nature and know that everyone has the ability to develop these regardless as to where you are starting. It all a part of advancement of your soul through your physical self.

 

These are times of significant life changes and you are a powerful leader of that change and it is truly time to spread your wings. Be courageous, be brave and take those steps towards what your hearts desire and search for something that is more meaningful for you. This is a time of spiritual and emotional growth and it is happening. What do you choose for yourself and where you put your focus? 

 

As you shift and raise your vibrations through your spiritual growth, you will find that your sensitivities to things in your physical world are also going through some major life changes. You may have to revisit your diet and exercise programs sometimes starting from scratch, for some it is starting all over again. Unless you have been doing a great deal of study and research into what is really good for you (not the load of you know what that mainstream, commercially held agencies and governments, and sometimes healthcare tell you is good for you.), and really learning what your own physical body responds to, you are in need of some new information. As you learn to trust your senses, your body will tell you what is good for you and what is not. Muscle testing can help you with this greatly, as does using a pendulum, as well as learning to trust that wee voice within, that is connected to all that is.

 

You may find that you are highly sensitive to chemicals, additives, processed foods, fast foods, entire food groups, people, places and even things. Situations that you used to find tolerable, suddenly become intolerable, as do some of your relationships. While you are adjusting to this new you, respect your sensitivities and avoid harsh situations, relationships, foods, avoid the news and advertisements, and surround yourself with things you love, that feed and support you and bring you joy. It is paramount to helping you create what it is that you truly desire and also in processing through your expansions with less physical symptoms.

 

Some of you may experience the vibrational flu as you expand your light. The best thing to do during these times is take care of yourself. Meditate, eat well, drink plenty of water and movement like tai chi or qigong or yoga, or something that appeals to you that also includes physical movement. Honour yourself and what feels good and right and you will know what to do.

 

Enjoy the rest of your summer in some way that honours who you are. Take care of yourselves and enjoy the ride, love and blessings, Sharon
