Tuesday December 11, 2012- Anael-Sexuality

Sexuality is the physical expression of our soul’s essence. It is the part of us that connects to the physical world. Sexual energy connects us to our bodies and inspires us to express ourselves thought use of our bodies, though clothes, make-up, body art and dance. It is though our sexuality that we reveal the deeper side of our nature. This is revealed in the particular way we choose to decorate ourselves and move in our bodies.

Our sexual energy brings us to life. It puts a sparkle in our eyes, a kick in our step and a sway in our hips.

It is through our senses that we develop “sensitivity” on all levels. Though touch, sight, sound, smell and taste we awaken to the richness of life. It is though pleasure that we celebrate life and though ecstasy that we experience oneness with divinity and the nature of the divine.
This may be a time for you to begin exploring and becoming sensitive to your physical self. Have you been honoring your body and sexuality as sacred? Does your physical being, reflect and express your spiritual being? Do you allow yourself to feel sensitive and awake inside your body? Do you feel free to express yourself physically and sexually?

This is a time for reflecting on these questions and bringing balance to this area of your life. If you have a relationship that needs healing in this area or you wanting to bring in a new partner, you must first heal and balance these things within yourself. Others will only ever reflect the true and often hidden feelings you have about yourself.

Therefore, this is the time to love yourself, explore your sensuality, become sensitive, honor your body as scared and enjoy your sexuality.

Ariel inspires us to dance in the moonlight, rejoice in the sunlight, swim in the oceans, put our feet in the sand, open up to our place on this planet and strengthen our connection to life and its cycles.

Thursday December 13, 2012- Archangel Jophiel-Illumination

Archangel Jophiel means “Beauty of God” She is the Angel of illumination. She appears to bring light where there is darkness and is a shining light of hope at the end of a seemingly endless night.

Illumination occurs when light fills a space where there was once darkness. The light of consciousness spreads, allowing us to see into the space that was once darkness and mystery of the unknown.

Illumination often occurs when least expect it. When we are lost in the dark and forgotten what the light and it looks like, up comes the sun in all its glory, lighting our way and filling us with new insight and inspiration.

When we are in darkness we often lose sight of the bigger picture.  We can easily forget everything comes in phases.  Without the darkness of introspection and the unknown changes cannot occur.  The phases we experience are extremely important to growth and success in our lives.

The sun is rising for you now, illuminating all the dark corners of your life and consciousness. This is a time of rebirth, renewed life and renewed clarity and inspiration. Within the light of the sun, every color exists, ready to bring color into our world.

There is unlimited potential all around you right now. You have the power to create anything you want for yourself and your life. All color is available to you now. 

Pay close attention to awakenings, realizations, ideas, answers and inspirations.  All the answers you are looking for are revealing themselves to right now.

Friday December 14, 2012- Samuel- Battle

Samuel (meaning "poison of god") is a representation of the shadow side of existence. As both a member of the heavenly host and a fallen angel, Samuel is said to be the one who impregnated Eve. He has been depicted as the seducer, the destroyer and is a powerful figure in battle.

When up against seemingly unsurmountable odds and opposition Samba can assist in war, legal battles etc.

It is the universal truth that the world is made up of opposites: where there is light, there's also darkness. Samuel has earned a reputation as Angel to be feared, but it is only through acceptance and knowledge of our shadow self that we can ever truly be whole.

All throughout history there are stories and myths about heroes going into battle; fighting dragons or even battling through dangerous territory at sea. These stories represent the hero standing the face of danger, ready to confront his or her shadow. They represent the hero's willingness to surrender to a higher state of consciousness at the expense of all ego attachments such as pride, greed and compulsion. The hero is even willing to die as he or she is connected to being part of the eternal consciousness of life, rather than the ego or identity state of consciousness.

So is the hero goes out to battle dragons in order to bring the goods actives are town, here she is actually going on a journey to face the shadow in order to bring the goods back to his or herself so that the movement can be made into the next phase of life, on an internal level.

Just might be time for you to go on this journey. You may feel surrounded by obstacles, temptations and danger, rather than getting scared or overwhelmed it is time to stop, look at what is occurring around you, connect to your deeper sense of personal truth than battle those Dragon to whichever way you know you need to.

It's also time to sacrifice your ego and fight for your highest truth with courage and integrity. Everything in this universe is perfect and imperfect order. It is interacting polarities that keep things in place and moving imperfect synchronicity.

Decide now where do you want to be in life. What are you willing to fight for? Have you become disconnected or numb, lost in mundane thought, TV and routine? 

Well, is absolutely time for you to wake up! This is a call to adventure. What are you going to fight for? This is a call to arms!

Saturday December 15, 2012- Melchizedek Peace

Melchizedek is known as "The Divine Mediator". He serves to bring peace, spiritual awakening and understanding to our lives. Also a master of healing (especially healing with the use of color) Melchizedek can help bring harmony and a feeling of wholeness at times only feel like our equilibrium has been disturbed.

Through peace we feel acceptance and through acceptance in we feel peace, which puts us in accord with all that is.

In our busy, fast-paced lives is often hard to make the time to find that space that we desperately need, but this Angel is telling you this is what you must do.

You might be feeling chaotic, out of touch, possibly frustrated at all you see around you
. You need to make some time for yourself and connect with life, nature and the spiritual space around you, whatever that may mean to you.

You have music, meditation, yoga dance, so that you may connect to nature, both your nature and nature of life, so that you can find peace. You need to take a break from the business of life, and put yourself back into accord with the experience of life, nature, spirituality and the silence of the eternal space within.

Sunday December 16, 2012- Archangel Michael - Clearing

In all major faiths or religions, the Archangel Michael is considered the highest angelic ranks. 
Archangel Michael is the Angel of protection and clearing. You can call upon him to provide protection to yourself, your loved ones, your home or property and can also help you cut any negative ties in your life.  

In order to clearly in your life you must be clear. There also time, old issues and old thought patterns. There any mental, spiritual, emotional or physical clutter.  

This message has, for you; this means there are areas in your life in need of clearing. 
On a physical level, it may be time to clear your home. When anything that is not relative to you now for the future life you want. Clean out all closet and corners. Get light and air circulating through your home. Clear your bodies fill yourself with fresh, nourishing food that is easy to digest and supports your system. Most importantly drank at least 2 liters of water every day. 
If you feel unclear on an emotional level, the first thing you can do is spend some time writing or journaling exactly what you are feeling. It will provide you with a direct reflection of what is going on for you and what you can do to resolve present issues. It also will provide you with the space to release pent up energy.  

You may also need to release someone or something from your life. You may need to cut ties with the person, place or event or clean an old emotional issue. Once you take the time to see what needs clearing and releasing, it becomes easier to take the action necessary to allow this to happen.  

It may be necessary to review your mental and spiritual space at this time. What are the old thought patterns, beliefs and self -talk habits polluting your mental and spiritual space? 
Quite often the key breaking a habit is to create a new one that is more supportive to your growth and happiness. If you are telling yourself things that are not in line with your highest truth and highest potential, it’s time to simply start telling yourself something different. This will take work, lots of discipline and awareness, but you'll get through and change the mental pattern if you keep repeating and honoring the new thought pattern.  

Ultimately the message here is that you need to take space for yourself now. Create a sense of inner stillness and calm. Then with strength and courage, clear away the clutter and destructive tides in your life.  

Monday December 17, 2012- Archangel Azrael - Completion

Known as the Angel of Death, (in Islamic and Christian faiths), her primary role is to help souls crossover and to supply comfort to the grieving. She is the Angel who accompanies souls to heavens after that passed on.  

You can call upon her to help you through the grieving process and help you come to terms with and accept the natural cycle of life and death.  

Grief is a natural emotion during certain death cycles that involve both loss and the experience of something dear to you having come to an end. Often through grief, we honor what is lost in our feelings concerning that loss. If you are experiencing any grief at this time, it is important that you honor, respect and express this natural part of the human cycle.  

You must remember though, that the grief you feel is for yourself. If you have lost loved one, they had already moved on to the next stage of their cycle. They are where they are meant to be.  

If stage in your life has completed itself, this too has been necessary in order for you to move forward within your life and grow.  

New opportunity is present for you now and while it doesn't replace where you have been, it is essential for your growth to begin a new phase.  

Therefore, while is important that you feel and express what you are feeling at this time, you must always remember the bigger picture.  

You just cannot allow yourself to become stuck on the wheel of grief. Acceptance is your next part of this cycle to reach a place where you honor your sadness but also understand the bigger picture and become willing to move forward into your next phase of life.  

The Angels have given us our weekly messages from beyond. Take heart and know things are never as bad as they seem. This past week has been bumpy but it will bounce back.

Wednesday December 5, 2012- Archangel Raguel-Conflict Resolution

Raguel (which means “Friend of God”) is known as the angel of order and fairness. He is said to have been entrusted with the job of watching over other Angels to ensure their good behavior.
Being a master at resolving conflicts, Archangel Raguel can be called upon whenever you find yourself stuck in situations or disputes it seemed almost impossible to remedy any helping hand to restore harmony or diplomacy.

Conflict resolution occurs when polarities balance the heart and the mind is able to harmonize. Like the positive and negative charges of Adam, polarities exist to balance the whole. Although polarities may seem like total opposites, they are actually connected at the core. It is just that they hold the opposite aspects of thing in a place so that the whole is actually balanced.

If you feel your experience in complex with another person at this time, in order to heal the situation, you must see the person as a reflection of yourself. There may be something you don't want to look at in yourself or your life, is now become a reflection of that it may seem that you are in opposite states of mind are opposite places in your life that you can see beyond the surface issue you will be able to see what it is that this person is reflected within you. 

Then take action based on a higher truth. 

You may be experiencing an inner conflict where you notice your feelings, and your mind taking opposite stances. In this circumstance you must come silent so you hear and feel what fear is and what is truth, what is ego what is higher self. 

Is very important at this time to open up to experiencing a sense of oneness in connection with all that is. The world around you is a total reflection of you, and you are total reflection of the world this includes relationships you have, the work that you do in the way you respond to people.

Right now you need to realize that when you see to polarities playing out is always forming the whole picture. If we are balance to begin with then we don't need to play out the players outside of ourselves. When you consider the lesser within the conflict you can then balance issue within yourself and thereby release the needs of the issue, which releases others having play out their role in the conflict to. 

This is the alternate form of conflict resolution and the road to forgiveness.

Friday December 7, 2012- ArchAngel Raphael- Healing

The name "Raphael" means "God Heals"

Raphael, known as the "Divine Physician", is the angel of healing and healers. As both a healer and a teacher, Raphael can assist in healing illness, disease and sickness and is also the patron Angel who guides our study the healing arts.

Healing is the process of bringing wholeness to something that has become fractured, impaired or disease. In order to experience healing, balance must be returned to the place of disharmony. This occurs when the polar aspects of thing, situation, issue or trauma come into balance.

If holding on to anger or any other strong emotion has created illness and the body or mind, letting go releasing emotion allows a healing to occur. Finding a sense of acceptance and I'm learning new ways to deal with emotions or situations that prosecute the point of illness is essential in order to remain feel and not let the body/mind return to its former ill state.

If a trauma, situation or event is creating a sense of inner stagnation and is hindering you from moving forward in your life, it may be time to evaluate how you are so perceiving incident. If you are only seeing the negative, you must stop, see and highlight the positives you gain from the experience. You must now see how the situation is perfect and the potential that exists for you now as a result of having had that particular experience.

In order to experience healing, a balance of perspective must occur. They're bringing balance to how you perceive life, you can open up to an even deeper state of healing, which is the state of acceptance. To experience a state of acceptance is embrace life, yourself and your path. We must always do we can to protect, nurture and have clear boundaries for ourselves and our space but that doesn't mean we can't find perfection in all our experiences.

This is a time of healing for you. A time for finding wholeness, acceptance and balance for yourself. If you need to state the acceptance of a counselor, healer or medical doctor, now is the time to do so. Sometimes a way to bring healing to our body and mind is through nutrition, water, exercise or even Eastern or Western medical treatments.

Remember that the body and mind makes us whole, so no matter what is ailing you at this time it is important to consider both the physical and mental emotional aspects of your healing. This is a time of healing to wholeness.

A perfect time to try a reiki healing or a spiritual healing.

Protection exists in our ability to draw boundaries in your life. Protection occurs when we learn about what is and isn’t good for us and we learn how to take the appropriate action to ensure that our boundaries are respects.

Even when we are in strange and frightening places, we become more able to protect our self when we clearly know our boundaries. We make better decisions, inform ourselves more thoroughly and project a stronger energy.

Even with all the protection in the world, sometimes we are meant to have certain experiences in order to learn and grow into what we are meant to be in our lives and there is nothing we can do in those circumstances other than surrender to the higher plan playing out.

Oftentimes, we do have the power to protect and honor ourselves and our boundaries. Divine protection is always available to us. By simply calling on the higher powers of protection and asking for assistance, we can experience the love and protection of our guides, angels and the universe.

There is also something that needs to be known about overprotecting yourself. If you have built walls around you, protecting you from love, life, intimacy, success or anything else, it is definitely the time to re-evaluate where this is getting you. If you feel the need to be overprotected, then there is an issue with feeling unsafe.

You need to reflect and clear a hurt or pain you are holding onto. You may need to let go of the inner voice that is telling you that you are not safe. Clarify your boundaries, do not let them be crossed, call on the divine assistance and let those walls down.

You are asked to start reflecting on the boundaries in your life and what you can do about them.

You may need to ask yourself; do you know what your boundaries are in relation to work, relationships, home and other important areas of your life? Are you feeling safe in your home, workspace, relationships etc? What can you do now to ensure that your needs are met and you are able to feel safe and protected in your life?

We are being fed so much information that tells us what to do, how to feel and what to think and we are so busy doing and distracting ourselves with tools of escape in our spare time that it is easy to forget to stop and just be with the self.

This is reflected in the alchemy of the spirit. We have within us the ability to transform ourselves and our experiences, taking in the poison and using a higher vision of higher understanding to transform it into spiritual gold. 
In order to experience this, we must first take the time and energy necessary to see the divine order in the universe and allow that insight to penetrate and transform our perceptions about our lives, ourselves and our experiences. 
In every moment there is great opportunity for movement and growth.  All it takes is one moment of illumination and the decision to create what you want. Every moment offers the opportunity to see a larger picture and acquire a greater understanding of our lives  and the situations occurring within them. When we take this opportunity we can experience clarity, joy, peace and greater sense of personal power.

Illumination often occurs when least expect it. When we are lost in the dark and forgotten what the light and it looks like, up comes the sun in all its glory, lighting our way and filling us with new insight and inspiration. 
When we are in darkness we often lose sight of the bigger picture.  We can easily forget everything comes in phases.  Without the darkness of introspection and the unknown changes cannot occur.  The phases we experience are extremely important to growth and success in our lives.

Monday December 3, 2012-Archangel Raziel-Divine Mystery 
Archangel Raziel means “Secret of God”  it is the keeper of the divine mysteries and is known as the guardian angel of  celestial secret s and the hidden  worlds. Ruler of the planet Neptune, which is the planet of illusions and mysteries.  Raziel can help you gain better access to “hidden” information to do with magick, psychic development or any of the universe’s divine mysteries. 
Life is a mystery.
The spark that ignites and propels existence is the greatest mysteries. No matter, scientific knowledge we acquire, it only serves to further prove the divine mystery of life. 
As humans we are programmed to try and make sense of things. Our intellect races to interpret, to find logic and reason for all that we experience in encounter in our world. The truth is life, death and the divine are larger concepts than what we can ultimately comprehend and no matter how many ideals, philosophies and beliefs we may discover to explain these mysteries, they will still only ever remain but a mystery. 
To experience life the divine, we must use our heart, not our mind. The mind,  in particular the intellect,  holds no answers when it comes to understanding the overwhelming nature of life and the divine. When the heart has the capacity to feel and experience the ecstatic truth at the core of all tragedy and beauty because only the heart can experience true unification with the essence of things, through being able to directly connect us with the divine. The heart knows and accepts all things as perfect. 
It is now time for releasing yourself from the binds and limitations of the mind. Things may not make sense at this time but that may be because you are looking at them through a logical filter as opposed to filtering things through the heart. Not all sense is logical sense.  Life, the divine in our own psyches have rhythms and it is only in connection to the heart that they gut senses the body, that we can make any sense of them. 
Right now it is time to release yourself from some intellectual burden, accept and embrace divine mystery as you connect the wisdom of your heart and the silent space within.  
I hope the angels have given you the wisdom to seek what you need this week and to guide you on your journey.

Every answer to every question we have lies within us. The voice inside, the feeling in our gut and in our bones is our intuition. Intuition is another human sense. Our eyes and ears tell us what is around us, touch gives us texture, smell and taste interact with our surroundings, intuition tells us how we feel about our world, beyond what the physical  five senses can tell us.
Intuition guides us to our own personal higher cause. It tells what choices will best suit us, who we want in our lives and how to interpret the energy of our environment. On a higher level, intuition may tell you universal truths.
It is our intuition that connects us to ourselves and what we need for ourselves on a deeper level. When we lose touch with inner voice that guides and directs our lives, we become lost. When we  make choices based on lower impulses that serve the ego or we become dependent on outside sources to be the only guide and director of our lives, we become easily confused and indecisive or even begin to fear and lack faith and trust in life.
In this day and age it is essential to make time to listen to yourself. We are being fed so much information that tells us what to do, how to feel and what to think and we are so busy doing and distracting ourselves with tools of escape in our spare time that it is easy to forget to stop and just be with the self.
The answers you seek are inside you already. . Stop, be still and feel the truth within you. No one knows what is right you better than yourself. Have faith in yourself and listen to your intuition for that will always steer you in the right direction and the right path.

12 Ways To Maximize Time And Life


My business experience has taught me one true thing: That maximizing your productivity, happiness, peace, or impact can best be accomplished if you clearly understand the 12 Rules of Time.



For more Time Management sign up for my webinar http://www.psychichealerchristine.com/time-management-webinar.php

1. Have goals

Being more efficient with your time is irrelevant if you don't know how you want to spend it. In managing time, the compass is more important than the clock. Know where you want to go and spend your time on the things that get you there.

Many people spend energy trying to be more efficient without first doing what's important: setting goals. It's like being lost on your way to a new city. Driving faster doesn't help if you are going in the wrong direction. Figure out what direction to go in and head that way.

Once you've prepared it, your list of goals will reveal what is important to you.

2. Analyze how you spend your time

It is always good to know how you're spending your time right now. You can track this by setting a timer to go off every 15 minutes; whenever it sounds, write down exactly what you are doing. Alternatively, divide your day into 15-minute blocks and record each activity you do.

Once you have your time logs, examine them. How do they compare to your goals? Are you spending time where your priorities are?

3. Keep a to-do list

This sounds too simple, but it really is the basis of all time-management systems. Your to-do list can be electronic, on fancy paper, bound in a notebook or loose-leaf. The key is to have everything you want to accomplish on one list. My to-do list might have a one-line item on it, such as "write annual report," which refers me to a much larger file or even a file box on that item.

4. Prioritize your list

Once you have the list, determine which are the important items. Mark these with a highlighter, a red pen, or in any other way that makes them stand out.

I sometimes find my to-do list is too big. Every item on the list calls out "pay attention to me!", even though most of them weren't highlighted as important. In these cases, I take a blank sheet of paper and cover my to-do list and write down only the three or four most important items. Those are the ones to focus on.

5. Control procrastination

I use a number of tricks to break any lingering tendencies to procrastinate. For instance, I happen to like having a hard copy of my digital to-do list. I reprint it every few days as new items are added and completed ones dropped. It is at these times that I look for the items that I've marked as high priority, but which are just not getting done.

People often say I have great self-control. In truth, though, much of it is environment control. I control my environment to eliminate things that I might use to procrastinate. Take games off your computer, for example, sell your TV, and get rid of the busywork jobs that you use to avoid the important tasks.

I have developed one effective habit that has helped break me of procrastination: "Do the worst thing first." At the beginning of every day, I do the one task that is causing me the most stress, and that I haven't been getting done. Sometimes I just give it a quarter of an hour — based on the theory that I can stand just about anything for 15 minutes. Frequently it is this short thrust that breaks me through.

If I still find myself procrastinating, I review my reasons for setting a goal. To create extra motivation to complete a task, I strengthen the reasons why it should be done. Similarly, many people reward themselves for completing a job.

6. Organize

Organization and time management are linked. I find that I get important things done when I have all the tools I need to perform the job.

The opposite of organization — chaos, clutter, disorganization — generally leads to busy work. If your desk is piled high, every piece of paper says "look at me." You can end up doing a lot of work without ever getting to the important stuff.

7. Delegate

One way to expand your time is to get others to help you with it. The key to delegation is to hand off any tasks that someone else can do significantly faster or more easily than you can.

If you're protesting that you don't have anyone working directly for you to whom you can delegate tasks, no problem. Consider delegating to a peer, a superior, a supplier, or even a customer. Treat delegation like networking: who in your network would be best for the job?

In some cases you will need to invest up-front to train someone so he or she can take over a task from you. The long-term savings are usually worth the up-front time and costs.

After delegation, remember to thank appropriately. You might think people would resent being delegated to, but exactly the opposite is true. People like to be asked, especially if it is to do something that they're good at.

8. Master efficiency tricks

The best trick I have found is "The Power of While." What can you do while you drive? While you walk? While you clean? While you watch TV? I am a huge audio tape advocate and frequently listen to tapes while I am doing something else.

Being a techno person, I love all the organization software out there that allows me to keep my contacts, to-do lists and appointments. I also use gadgets such as cellphones, wireless e-mail, and personal digital assistants. Good use of technology can save you valuable time.

9. It's OK to say no

Saying "No" can be the most powerful time tool you can master. When someone asks you to do something, ask yourself how important this is. Does it help you achieve your goals? Is this a task you would be better at than most people? Don't always look for reasons to get out of things, but be strategic about what you take on.

This doesn't mean that I always say no when asked to help out. But if I do say no, I am always polite and tactful, and try to suggest someone else who would do the job well.

10. Focus

Committing 100% focus and concentration on one task at a time can be very powerful. Eliminate distractions. Focus on the task. When you're properly organized and prepared, when your energy and power are high, you can often complete a task in 20% of the time it would take when you're distracted or open to interruption.

11. Build your efficiency bank

High efficiency is not possible if you don't look after yourself. Eat right, exercise, sleep well and drink moderately. Mom knew best: all the things she said were good for you just happen to be best for your efficiency, too.

I also believe meditation can be a great way of building your efficiency. It could be transcendental meditation, Zen, or just finding a way to get into a relaxed state that lets you focus on the task you have to do. No matter how you do it, recharging your batteries gives you the power to do more during the times you need to be at your best.

12. Take care of yourself

It isn't possible to be "on" all the time. Take the time you need to look after yourself — body and soul — so that you can reach peak efficiency when you need to. Have a list of things you like to do. Find out what activities energize you, and spend more time doing them. This will give you the power and energy to be more productive when you return to work.

Finally, a word of advice. If after reading this far you're feeling a bit overwhelmed, I suggest you go back to Rule 1 and add peace (contentment) to your list of goals. Time management is not about adding stress; it is about giving you the time to be the person you really want to be.
