Call in the Angels for 2017

Call in the Angels for 2017

Lets start the new year by inviting the
angels into our homes. Begin on New Years Eve and invite the angels to
come and be with you throughout this new year and every morning for the
next month, Call in the Angels for 2017.


Write down your hopes, dreams, prayers and wishes for yourself and
the world and place it on the altar. Then just before New Year’s Eve
open your front door and invite the Angels into your life. Acknowledge
them each night before you go to bed and each morning. When you get up,
go to your front door, ask the angels to come into your life and help
you with your earthly projects. Go to your angel alter and light a
candle and read aloud your prayer for assistance. Do this every day for a
month and then you will have created a spiritual practice that enhances
your life in undreamed of ways.

Say to your Angels…

“Calling all Angels who are here to journey with me. I invite the
angels into my life and into my home this day and I ask that they help
me set up conditions and scenarios to assist me in my creations.” Open
your front door and invite the angels into your life and go over to your
special place or alter and light a candle to add the element of fire to
your projects.

Angel Signs – Feathers and Colours

Angel Signs – Feathers and Colours

The angels often send us feathers as
signs, or perhaps it is because feathers come from wings which we
associate with angels. I do often get asked about the meaning colour
with the feathers so I thought this was the perfect forum.

Our angels send us signs to let us know they are listening and
working on our prayers and requests. Symbols like feathers are most
important when they are meaningful to the person who receives them.  The
first question I ask a client when we talk about signs, is “What does
the sign mean to you?” and “What were you doing or thinking about when
you noticed the sign or feather?”. When analyzing anything, ask yourself
first, “What does this mean to me?”

Symbology is only as important as it is to the person having it.
Meaning, what it means to you is always the most important, not what
another teacher tells you it should mean. I did a bit of research when I
was first asked this question and found that most meanings went along
with the traditional chakra colours along with some of the colour
therapy teachings. It works, so why not use it. It is truly about your
intentions and what you assign to them. However, here is some
generalized meanings for you to begin to work with while you are
learning to trust yourself and the signs:

Feather Colours and their Meanings:

White Feathers white is a common symbol for purity,
which is very much aligned with the meaning of angels. White feathers
can also be a sign from the angels that your loved ones in Heaven are
well, and have successfully crossed over into the spirit realms. White
is also a symbol of faith and protection, and when you find white
feathers in peculiar locations the message is especially significant.
This is offten just to reassure you that your angels are around you,
working with you, and answering your prayers.

In addition to white feathers, here is a quick look at some of the additional meaning the coloured feathers may have.

Pink Feathers Pink is considered by most to be the
colour of love.  Pink feathers are a reminder of the unconditional love
that your angels have for you, and a reminder that all things are
possible when you are tuned into the energy of love.

Red Feathers signify life force energy, physical
vitality, stability, strength, passion, and courage. Trust that your
base needs are being met.

Orange Feathers carry messages of creativity, listening to your inner voice, and staying positive to attract success. How do you feel?

Yellow Feathers are often a reminder to be cheerful
and light-hearted, to be present, alert, and to stay focused on what you
desire to magnetize these blessings into your life. Don’t get caught up
in the drama of the world, just be present in the world and pay
attention to details.


Green Feathers signify abundance and money, a
fertile opportunity, as well as vibrant well-being, health, and love.
Are you taking care of yourself?

Blue Feathers brings a calming and peaceful energy. Are you  connected to communication, awareness, and are often a reminder to listen.

Gray feathers are a call to return to peace. Gray is
also neutral, and can be a sign that the answer to your question is not
yes/no or black/white. Time to go within and find your centre and tap
into the void to help you to refocus.

Brown Feathers signify grounding, home life, and
stability. There is an energy of respect, groundedness, and balance
between the physical and spiritual. The importance of connected with the
earth and the now.

Black Feathers are a reminder of the protection of
your angels, and a signal that spiritual wisdom, and magic are
accessible by you so go within. You need a break from the world. A
personal retreat.

Feathers with purple on them carry messages of deep
spirituality, transmutation, as well as the opening of psychic and
spiritual sight. You are on the right spiritual path and continue on
with your studies.

Seek More with Archangel Uriel

Seek More with the guidance and assistance of Archangel Uriel. Uriel’s name means ‘The Light of God’. He is known for his ability to enlighten our minds with Divine inspirations. Anytime you need answers or insights, call upon Archangel Uriel and he will help to light your way.

Look deeper and explore the beauty of your world, inner and outer. Go within and seek your truth. There is such grandness within you that has yet to be discovered.  As you do this, you then see a greater beauty in all that is around you. You can see the face and love of god everywhere you look, for it is all around you and of course within you. You are standing on the threshold of greater wisdom and understand, on a grander scale than ever before. I have been watching the evolution of humanity since its first sojourn into physicality, and will be here with your world until the last human leaves. This is my offering to the world and my service to the Creator and all that is.

It is through my eyes that the world of earth is measured and through my heart do you rise. Let the light and the love of all that is be your guiding force each day, as this is the fastest healing there is. Seek greater knowledge and understanding of how your world works, the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual, for they each have an aspect that is important and will enhance your life experience. Expand your awareness and see who you really are and all that is. You are on a grand journey and you are applauded for all that you do in the name of love, in the name of God.

As you expand your spiritual aspects, you gain a shining presence to your light that others can sense and feel. Nurture this light for it can only come from within each one of you, no one can bring it to you or give it to you, it must be sought by the self. It is a journey that you must embark for yourself and of the self. Developing these parts of yourselves is what helps you to create heaven on Earth and call upon my light to assist you in this process. I will always be with you, a part of you and you a part of my light.

Go in grace with love, Archangel Uriel

Archangel Chamuel’s Message for Romance

Archangel Chamuel’s Message for Romance

posted bySharon Taphorn

We send great waves of love into your heart and mind, awakening your love for life itself. Ask Archangel Chamuel to help guide love. Surround yourself with romantic beauty such as roses and candles. Give any emotional hurt to the angels, and let that heal. The angels say that romance springs from falling in love with life itself. When you let the angels awaken this love within you, you naturally attract and experience a more romantic love into all your relationships.

The Angels are addressing, and assisting you by helping to bring
more romance into your life.  When you ask for assistance, be open
to accept more love in your life and for your life.

 

Your angels have heard your appeals for romance. We hear your pleas for love. We acknowledge your heart’s yearnings for love. We have received and hear your requests for more love in your life.  As you adopt a more loving attitude for yourself and your life, you will find that you naturally attract more loving people to you and together you can create the romance you have been longing for.

Now you will work together with us to manifest the romance you are seeking. Your angels will guide you in specific ways to ensure that they grant your wish. For instance, you may get a strong urge to drive to a certain place, and you might meet a wonderful partner when you arrive at that destination. It is important that you act upon the guidance you feel. Your angels want to help you, but they cannot do the journey for you, they can only guide you and set up the events that will lead you to your goals.

The angels guidance may ask you to engage in self-discovery and self-improvement activities such as exercise classes, nutritional practices, or self-help seminars. Follow this guidance, and you will
discover more about yourself and your life. As you do this, you just might notice that the romance that you seek finds you!

See Today as a Special Blessing

See Today as a Special Blessing

posted by Sharon Taphorn

I have always kind of thought that February 29th is a special
day. It only happens once every four years and that makes it have its
own special energy.



Take a moment and see the blessings in your life today. Be grateful
for all the wonderful things that have touched your life. The People,
the places, and even the things.

And well truly every day is a blessing, it is however good to take
the time and remind yourself of that, especially if things have been a
bit trying of late.

Just for Today, I choose to be Grateful for all that I am, all that
has been, all that I have and All that I am becoming! And so it Is.

Archangel Raphael’s Message of Healing

Archangel Raphael’s Message of Healing

posted by Sharon Taphorn

Archangel Raphael is our healing angel and he wants you to have daily doses of love and healing


Infusing yourself with emerald rays of love and light on a dailybasis will do wonders for your outlook and well being. This can help to shift everything in your life. Embark on your personal journey of
healing and ask Archangel Raphael to light your way.  Get outside, take deep breathes of fresh air as much as possible, and take a regular look at your goals and dreams and how you are progressing towards them.

Call upon your angels to clear and energize your chakras during your meditations. These are your power centres. Use the power of the infinity sign, infused with love and place them into each chakra after it is cleared. Let a stream of light pour out your crown chakra and shower down all around you filled with the colours of the rainbow and then go about your day.


Look at your goals and dreams with love and a clear heart. Don’t beat yourself up for could haves and should haves. Don’t cheat yourself out of a healthy life experience by holding onto regrets, sorrow, or fear. Know that you did the best you could at that time and release the rest. Release the people and situations in your life that are keeping you in the past. Love them and let them go. Let them find there way take the gifts from the relationships, job, or whatever situation it was. Be grateful as you are now so ready to moving to something more.

Affirmation: “I make time for my healing as this provides me with the strength and energy I need to continue making healthy changes on my path to a better way.”

Messages from your Angels Part 3

posted by
Sharon Taphorn

I’ve received some wonderful messages and questions about how our angels and guides communicate with us. Here are a few more ways our angels send us messages to let us know that they are hearing our prayers, our requests for help, love and support. The most important thing is to remember that it doesn’t always come in a way we can expect.

Signs and Symbols – These are often repeating numbers, signs or symbols. Our angels send us messages that relate to us and in ways that we can understand. If you feel you are not getting the signs you have asked for, ask your angels to send it in a way that can understand now. I recently was asked by a reader “I asked my angels to send me a white feather and I have not received it yet, are they listening to me?” It is important to be open to the signs but also to understand that when you ask for it to be a sign, don’t specify, just ask that it be meaningful for you. I recently did this and found the most beautiful white and yellow tipped feather. I was astounded by its beauty and knew it was a sign as it was unlike any I have found before. Another time a feather flew into my apartment from the hallway when I opened my door, it was inside a building and no one else was in the hall.

Repeating numbers are a common sign. There are many books about numbers and so it is important to look at what they mean to you and not necessarily what other writer or authors think they should mean. For me, I thank my guides and angels whenever I notice this and usually take it as a sign reminding me that I am not alone, they are with me, supporting me and not something specific. I also have developed my own numerology that is meaning to me. 

Earth Angels – You each come here with many plans and contracts to fulfill as part of your earthly mission. Sometimes your contracts of friendship and support mean that you enter the lives of those who need assistance or awakening or they enter your life just when you need them.  These are your Earth Angels who are fulfilling their part in the master plan of your  life purpose. Anyone who touches your life in a significant way is an earth angel, even the ones you deem as a negative life experience – these are the ones who have agreed to come and help you with ‘bump’ contracts, to help

you get back on track and on with your mission.

Your angel guidance is to remember  when you ask for help, it is there. Notice the signs and watch as life becomes easier to navigate and always remember to see the beauty in each experience.

our Angels Part 3

Mindfullness Take 3 – You are Worth It

A few days ago I received a video from my favourite channel on u-tube  - The Honest Guys - with the subject line, "Mindfulness - 3 Minutes and I looked at it and thought to myself, I will view later when I have more time. I heard this very distinct voice say "you mean you don't have 3 minutes to set the intention for your day?" This was like a huge alarm for me. I was reminded of the old Zen adage "You should meditate for 20 minutes each day - unless you are too busy then you should sit for an hour" 

I asked myself how could I actually be too busy to sit and listen for 3 minutes? Surely I have wasted more than that gazing out the window, looking at my closet, fussing with my hair, checking out facebook or some other times I am not even aware that I wasted, after all, it is only 3 minutes. I decided to take my jacket off and sit back down and take 3 minutes to set my state and intention before I left the house. It felt simply wonderful!

It is a beautiful reminder and I have been doing it each morning after I do up my daily angel message, then I am ready to start my day with clear thoughts and a peaceful mind.

Your angel guidance for this week is to become more mindful of each moment and see if this doesn't help you become more peaceful with whatever the days brings your way.

We would love to hear back the results of doing this short meditation - try it for 21 days (they say it take 21 days to form a habit). Do it every day and don't miss a day. If you do miss a day, begin your 21 days again and see what a difference this makes for you.

Messages from Your Angels part 2 

posted by Sharon Taphorn

We have talked about some of the ways your angels share you messages, signs, and signals to let you know that you are not alone and that they are listening to your questions or requests for assistance and guidance. Here are some other ways your angels send you messages of love, support, wisdom, and assistance:

Hear a positive or supportive voice or message: also often called clairaudience or clear hearing. My research and personal experience have found that this is the most commonly wanted or requested

way we want messages back from our angels and yet often one that happens during times of emergency or when one has worked on developing the skills to better hear. I have found it is easier to hear when we are a closer vibratory match.  If you are getting a supportive message, trust it and act upon it and see the results for yourself. 

Smell Something – Clairscent or Clairalience or clear smelling. This is one I have rather developed and not because I wanted to expand it. When I was a child I would always say “I think I used to be a blood hound in a past life” and now that I understand that sense a bit more and learned to live with it (I often say this was my most challenging to work with and yet also a great gift as I learned to smell illnesses on people as a nurse that could help to intervene before a medical emergency arose e.g. I learned to smell of diabetic shock.). We can often smell odors like perfume, foods, or tobacco as messages from our deceased loved ones. If the smell makes you think of someone you love on the other side, it is often a sign they are with you. 

Déjà vu – Feeling you know this or have done this already. This can sometimes also be clairsentience or clear knowing and is the phenomenon of having the strong sensation that an event or experience currently being experienced, has already been experienced in the past or a forewarning of something coming in the future or you  just have a knowing of something without knowing how or why you know it. Claircognizance requires tremendous faith because there’s often no practical explanation for why we suddenly “know” something and is often hard to explain this knowing to others. This is also often the category for emotional empaths fall into. Learn to trust yourself and your feelings.

Remember that your angels cannot do your journey for you, but they certainly can guide you and work behind the scenes on your behalf.

A Message for A New Leap Year

A Message for A New Leap Year

2016 is a nine year and that means it is a year of completion. Some of you may have been feeling the affects of this already over the past few months as cycles that are done have needed to be completed. If you have caught the message and did the work then you are probably feeling more optimistic than those who haven’t done the work are feeling. None the less, there is no time like the present and that is truly what counts. This is the year to take a leap in your spiritual growth, you are being prepared  for a new cycle and so there is no time like the present to start planting the seeds you want to create and finishing off all cycles you are done with.

My son gave me  a Buddha Board for Christmas. It is a board that sits on a tray of water and has a brush. You can paint something, a picture, a saying, or whatever, but it only lasts a few minutes and then it is gone. The slate is clean and ready for a new creation, thought of intention. It is great. I have been using to affirm things, to write messages of love to those on both sides, to release unwanted thoughts, and to give freedom to wanted ones. I have drawn pictures, made hieroglyphics, and more. The point is, that it is only ever in the now and then the masterpiece begins to fad. I like to watch at the interesting messages that are created as it transforms… a kind of scrying. This is the perfect tool for this new year.

Be fearless in your pursuit of a happy life. It is a time to take action and complete cycles and to make the most of the amazing opportunities that are becoming available to you. Information that can help you but which can also be sometimes difficult to hear will be a theme for this year as expanded growth is not always comfortable, especially if you have been failing to see the signs or do the work that has been necessary for you. If you have been resisting, it will persist and with a bit more energy than before. Do the work and know the score and you will be just fine.

Walk away from distractions and dishonest associations. Take a good long look and know that it is okay to realize that what you thought you wanted isn’t the best choice for you, your happiness, or your life. It just isn’t worth the effort when there is so much more you can do with the tools you now have at your disposal. Indecision holds you back. Make the choice that is best for you rather than trying to please others or make them happy at your own expense. To thy own heart be true.

Be practical and yet also generous and gracious as you move forward. You have the magical ability to make anything more beautiful and when you take this outlook out into the world it makes a difference. You will find other human angels on your path to help you as this energy for great shifts is becoming stronger and more of you are expanding your Light.

Messages from Your Angels

Messages from Your Angels

We get messages from our angels and spirit guides in a variety of ways. It is a skill and a great accomplishment when you learn to interpret them in ways that are meaningful to you. As you develop this trust and inner knowing, you will find it easier to discern what is best and right for you at that time and not second guess your choices. Here are some of the ways your angels might be trying to communicate with you:

Learning to trust your gut feelings: Your body often gives you signals to let you know there is something you need to pay attention to. This is neither good or bad but often perceived this way based on past experiences. If you felt a knot in your stomach and something went wrong, they you begin to always think that a knot in your stomach is a warning. It might be interesting to pay attention to your thoughts and feelings, keep a record of them at different times and see if you can’t find your own decoding system. 

Shivers down your Spine: This is one that we are often asked about and is indeed a signal for you to pay more attention to what is happening around you. This is often a sign I receive from peoples guides when I am doing a private session, the stronger the vibration, the more right we are. Often guides will use a form of communication they like to use with their people. If your guardian angel gives you messages this way, they will give them to me that way so I can share with you how they are communicating.

Seeing a vision or a flash in front of you or in your minds eye: Clairvoyance – or clear seeing is not as common as most think. Some of us who are very visual are communicating telepathically as a knowing that is enhanced by the visions and yet others see nothing at all. It comes with trust and working on the skills. If you are visual, often your angels will show you visions as a way of communication.

Our guides and angels are always giving us messages and clues, it is just that we don’t always notice them, or expect them in a certain way that is not always possible. We must be open to receive!

Sharon's Take for 2016 ~ Write it on your Heart

We are heading into a 9 year, an end to a cycle that we have been going through for a bit and now we are so ready to move on. This next year is a big one so make sure you are doing the work you need to do. If you are not, if you are procrastinating, my guess is it won't be much fun. On the other hand, you have skated through before... is this one going to be different? I say yes, a whole new level is about to be breached, secure your seat belt. 

It should be a fun year too and so set aside some time to enjoy yourself and plan to have some fun. It is an important part of the healing process and helps to create. Write it on your heart that today is the best day of the year and all you really have is today, so each and every day will be the best. See how adopting this mindset makes a difference. You don't really have anything to loose by trying and make that commitment to yourself.

For this year of completions, action is key. Success that comes from dedication and self-discipline. Celebrating your accomplishments will be an aspect of that success. As you listen to your heart, trust your intuitive self and your insights, you find that making the best choices for yourself, and not on what others think you should do will help to put you in the spotlight you desire. Worry not about pleasing others, focus on pleasing yourself and blending the intellectual and the emotional worlds so that you are creating your intentions.

As I write this the TV has music on and it turns out to be midnight at Time Square, how appropriate. I have never really been a big fan of New Years Eve parties and so thought it was strange and interesting as I do feel bringing this year in is something to celebrate. 

Positive changes are on the way. This will be a welcome relief for many of you as you have been ready to move on for some time and have been waiting for the Divine timing of the All that Is. This is your year and you may even find you are finally doing the traveling or even relocating that you have been longing for. Some of you will be getting new homes too. Be clear and assertive when it comes to what you know is right and best for you. Everything is going your way because of the hard work you have been doing and so reward yourself by being happy in your creations as well as remembering to cherish you alone time for rest and rejuvenation. 

Be open to a generous, gracious, and also practical benefactor to help you create your intentions when they involve the good of all and your life purpose. Beware also of wolves in sheep's clothing. How can you tell the difference? The one that lifts you up is there to support you. The one that brings you down or makes you feel small is also their to support you, but in ways that speak of standing up for yourself and your beliefs. Follow your heart and be true to you, that is the best advice we can give you. 

Remember that one can still speak their truth and be assertive with kindness. Information can be helpful and sometimes difficult to also hear, yet try to not take what others say personally but extract what is good and beneficial for you. Courageously stand up for yourself but also do so with compassion. Changes are happening, the success you desire is available to you, successful multitasking will help you maneuver through the mace.

We start off with your first mercury retrograde of the year in January. The 5th to the 25th, so start your projects right away.  This should be fun with our solar activity and starting out the year with some good geomagnetic storms. Expect more storms and flares this year as they accelerate out shifting and isn't that what we have been asking for.

I haven't been doing my monthly readings as life has kind of gotten in the way. I do enjoy my new angel blog at beliefnet http://www.beliefnet.com/columnists/angelguidance/ it is a lot of writing, but I do enjoy it and so appreciate those who read it as that is how I get paid. I am not sure what is ahead for this next year, except that things are changing.

.

This will be a good year to take action. Do what is right for the right reasons. Sounds simple and yet often the greatest challenge. Take the power of your creativity to make smart choices that bring wonderful news of rewards, success, and recognition! Finally! This is news worth celebrating and gives you memories to cherish, and a life of luxury and success.
