Angels Dancing Round the Sun

(Angels Dancing Round the Sun: Giovanni di Paolo Conde` Chantilly)

 

 

Light travels 186,000 miles per second.  A beam of light circles the earth seven times every second.   I love this image of angels joyfully dancing round the sun.  Each new day on earth is a celebration.  Their message is rejoice and share your Light.

Love and blessings,

The Big Picture: A Message from the Angels

(The Peacock and the Peacock Butterfly, Archibald Thorburn)

A picture is worth a thousand words.  It wasn't until I saw the title of this painting on-line, (The Peacock AND the Peacock Butterfly) that I looked closely to find the dainty peacock butterfly. They appear to be sizing each other up, these two.   

 The little butterfly peacock can fly, while the stunning big bird is mostly grounded.

I think the angels were sending a message on paying attention to the details.  See the entire picture, and don't get mesmerized by the brightest and biggest.  

God is in the details.  

 All life is on a mission helping us to return our thoughts back to the Divine Mind.  Butterflies are free and represent a new way of being. 

Many friends comment on the inner changes they feel during this time of major transformation.  Like the butterfly, we, too, are becoming a new creature in Christ consciousness.  It's exciting, but one must stay grounded as there is a tendency to be flighty, zoning in and out of time and space.

A wonderful mantra to use when feeling less than grounded:  "Be still and know that I am God."  I speak it silently as a command to my body.  A peacefulness settles over me as I let go, and let God take the reins.

Enjoy your time with the Angels.  And remember that every thing you say or do is important, so choose your actions with love.

Love and blessings,

Angel Message: The Peacocks Tapestry

(Peacock Tapestry)

I found this peacock tapestry at a furniture warehouse last year.  When moving things around the den, I discovered it this morning. Since the next twenty-six days fall under the Peacock Moon of Radiance, I thought it would be nice to feature a peacock, or two in the blogs.  When I bought this piece, I didn't notice the lotus symbol supporting the peacocks, or the heart shape framework behind them crowned with the fleur-de-lys (the three-fold-flame; trinity). 

Symbols are great reminders of the invisible realm of Spirit.  Seeing the Christ in each other (as these two peacocks are illustrating) brings them both into an awareness of Divine Love symbolized by the heart enfolding them.  The lotus has always been a sign of unfoldment, enlightenment, rising out of the dirt and mud, and blossoming into a rare flower of great beauty.  Just now I looked up the lotus in Nature-Speak by Ted Andrews.  The keynote of this magnificent flower is:  spiritual, higher knowledge at hand; and new vision coming. 

I love it!  The angels are sending constant uplifting messages on wings of Light shining away the darkness.  Let us walk in the Light and bring joy to those around us.

Enjoy your day with the Angels.

Love and blessings,

2013 Overtone Peacock Moon of Radiance (Nov. 15- Dec. 12, 2013)

(Full moon taken in the backyard)

 

 

Saturday night I happened to get a glimpse of the full moon from the den window.  It was high above the camphor tree almost visible through its branches.  It was encircled in a beautiful pink radiance like a halo.   I hurried outside with the camera to get a better look.  It's too bad that a photo doesn't always reflect the true beauty of the moment.  The pink radiance didn't show up as magnificent as it had with the naked eye.

 

Earlier I'd received an email regarding the significance of this particular moon and was surprised by the name, the Overtone Peacock Moon of Radiance.  With all the synchronicity around the peacock the past several months it seemed important to go take a look at this moon for myself.

 

The peacock symbolizes beauty and resurrection.  The peacock is often associated with the resurrection of Christ.  Christ said if thine eye be made single then thy whole body will be filled with Light.

 

"In this moon summon the Supreme Forces of Light, Truth, and Divine Knowledge to overcome the darkness.  Every thought we think has an electrical charge and creates a ripple effect.  Our mind is directly connected to the electromagnetic field of the Earth.  The Earth's electromagnetic field is directly connected to the Sun, with its sun spot cycle, solar flares and coronal mass ejections.  The continuous bombardment of solar and cosmic radiation directly affect the biosphere of our mind.

 

This radiation sends forth a continuous stream of higher thoughtforms into our planet.  These non-conceptual "thoughtforms" are called mentation waves.  We want to open and to receive these new mentation waves that are entering through a new Galactic Beam of consciousness.

 

To do this requires a letting go of the old, taking responsibility for all of our thoughts and actions and making an effort to keep our mind saturated with the sacred, inspiring HIGH thought forms."    (Foundation for the Law of Time, Issue #43 Noos-Letter)

 

 

Enjoy your day with the Angels.

Solar Flares and Transformation

(Daytona Beach Sunrise Last Month)

I've been keeping up with the solar storms the past week or two; the eruptions from the sun are powerful and can effect our electromagnetic field.  Some people are more sensitive to the atmosphere than others but it does play out in feelings of lightheadedness, feeling ungrounded, and spacey.  Some comment on headaches, irritability, and lethargy.  A few with vision problems... The flare activity affects each of us in different ways as we are unique by nature, but universal in the divine scheme of things.
 
This is not something to be fearful of; in fact, the light particles are activating our physical bodies in ways that promote a quickening of spirit.  Although not always comfortable, it is comforting to know that this is a phase that will pass and has not come to stay.  Rest, drink plenty of water, take a soak in the tub, spend time in nature, practice daily meditation, and contemplation all help to stay centered. 

So if you are feeling a whole lot or even a little bit not like yourself these days, know that you are a work in progress.  Be gentle with yourself and hold on to your hat, the art of becoming is becoming to you, eventually.

The good news is that we are not doing this alone.  The divine has interceded with the assistance of legions of angels helping to lift us up to the higher region of consciousness where Love resides eternally.  Whatever is unlike love is being forced up to the surface to be healed and released making more room for light.

The best is yet to be.

Love and blessings,

Autumn Angel

Autumn Angel

 

Today I found this delightful Autumn Angel on Wikimedia Commons.  It is from a 1916 book entitled, Walk Me Through My Dreams, A Picture Book of Verses by Joe Lindsay. This illustration is by I.R. Outhwaite.

 

I love the imagery of the illumined angel lighting the way, swirling colorful leaves so that we may walk in softness in our dreams. 

 

Wishing you all a gentle and wonderful awakening at this special season of the year.

 

Enjoy your time with the Angels, and know that you are never alone.

 

Love and blessings,

Going Within

The still infinity of endless peace surrounds you gently

in its soft embrace, so strong and quiet, tranquil in the

might of its Creator, nothing can intrude upon the

sacred Son of God within.

          A Course in Miracles

 

 

Yesterday my Angel card was Tenderness, and the companion quote above (from the Sayings from A Course in Miracles deck)  were a comforting match.  These are times of heavy transformation and regardless of what's going on externally, I look forward to taking time out to go within.  Spending time in meditation helps bring peace and as a result things have a way of unfolding in effortless accomplishment throughout the rest of the day. 

 

The angels encourage us to be tender with ourselves and kind to each other as everyone is engaged in this spiritual transformation.  Divine Love waits on welcome and is thankfully ever present. 

 

Love and blessings,

The Symbol of Peacock and Good News

 

I found this artwork of Gabriel, the Archangel associated with the Annunciation on the web.  With my recent affinity for peacocks, this seemed like a perfect companion for the blog.  The keynote of peacock is resurrection.  With its colorful feathering, resembling eyes, it is also symbolic of watchfulness or wise vision. Mary, the mother of Jesus, was chosen for her purity, although Joseph initially grieved  over her condition, knowing he was not the father of the child she carried.  Her reputation was at stake.  The Angel visited him in a dream to set him straight; Mary was conceived by the Holy Spirit.

The angels help us to see that things are not always as they appear; there is a higher truth taking place, beyond our current comprehension:  Do not fear. Keep the faith and stay watchful.  Look to God and not the problem.  Love is their message. 


This week I came across these peacock boxes at Bell's.  They were the answer to a storage problem in my new little office. With only one desk drawer, I needed more space.  The decorative boxes can help remind me to be more vigilant for what I'm "storing away" both mentally and physically.  Thoughts are things.

"The light of the body is the eye:  if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light." (Matt. 6:22)


Enjoy your day with the Angels, and stay open to receiving joyful blessings.

A Snake: Message of Rebirth, Resurrection, Healing, and WIsdom

Sometimes animals show up with a message for us in a rather unique way. Early Saturday morning I laughed to see this creature had manifested over night in our neighbor's yard!  I thought it was a turtle at first, but the fangs said otherwise.  The snake has long been the subject of great controversy.  Sometimes seen as devil and sometimes as healer.

The snake is symbolic of transmutation, death, and rebirth.    It sheds its skin as it outgrows the old.  The eyes of the snake cloud over before it begins to shed its skin, then clear as it begins to shed its skin.  To mystics this indicates the ability to move between realms, crossing over from life to death, and back again.  To the Native Americans, the snake represents transformation and healing.   

I got another "angel message" when I saw this humongous inflatable snake.  It was an illustration on how sometimes we entertain wrong thoughts (error) and they balloon up overnight, seeming very real and overwhelming.  But in truth they are only enlivened by the energy (fear) we feed them.  This gigantic snake was generated by an electrical motor to keep it blowing hot air. It had no power of its own.  Just like our egos at times.   Kind of funny that before sundown Saturday evening, there was no sign that this big snake had ever been there.  So no matter whatever you're facing right now, know that you and God are a majority and that you are in the company of angels.  You are and always will be perfect, made in His image and likeness.  You are a spiritual being and nothing can change your identity as a Child of God.  So don't be deceived by your five senses, trust in a power greater than your own.

Enjoy your day with the Angels, and try to be more vigilant for what thoughts you're entertaining about yourself and others.

Love and blessings,


Karen



 

Pink Morning Glory: Break Old Habits and Be Spontaneous

(Photo: Wikimedia Commons)

This morning while waiting for skydivers at The Perfect Spot, my attention was drawn to a beautiful pink flower growing in the gravel parking lot. Against all odds, it was in full bloom enjoying the morning sun.  I knew it was a morning glory and remembered fondly my grandparent's farm where they had grown in the gullies bordering the dirt lane leading to the house. 

Today Elliot and I celebrate our 16th anniversary.  I was thankful to nature for this beauty.  I looked up on the fence by the car and saw a leafy vine filled with lots of pink morning glories opened wide.  I was sorry I didn't have my camera.

Later on I learned more about the symbolism of this flower shaped like a funnel.  A funnel can be used to draw things in or help express things outward.  A morning glory is a sign to be more spontaneous in our expressions. It's time to break old habits and get out of a rut.  Just like the woodpecker message yesterday on following the beat of a new rhythm, the morning glory signifies the old way of doing things will no longer work. It's time for fresh new energies.  The vines of the flower are heart shaped and the color, pink, indicates expressions of love need be more spontaneous.

Enjoy your day with the Angels.

Love and blessings,



Karen

Your Newborn Purpose...

 

 

Your newborn purpose is nursed by angels, cherished by the Holy Spirit

and protected by God Himself.  

A Course in Miracles

 

 

As wonderful things begin happening under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, I've experienced an ego backlash trying to shift my consciousness to the limitations of the 3-D world.  Sometimes my ego is vicious and she begins to build a case on her behalf.  At these times, I must dismiss the validity of her claim by choosing to put more faith in the spiritual than in the physical, more trust in love than in fear.  It is a battle of the mind.  I'm grateful for the comfort of the Holy Spirit and the angels that come when invited. 

 

 Last night I woke up wrestling with an issue, something that had a favorable outcome, but my ego was convicting me of not being a good person.  Sometimes the ego's voice is loud and insistent. I get an uneasy feeling in my abdomen.  I'm learning if  I can keep dismiss her judgments and then focus on the Allness of God, peace comes.  The angel thoughts of higher consciousness wash over me with blessings of peace and love.

 

This morning I found this comforting passage from A Course in Miracles.  I love the vision of my newborn purpose being nursed by angels.  It's true for everyone who listens to the voice of the Holy Spirit.

 

Enjoy your day with the Angels.  And don't let the ego fool you, You are a holy Child of God and always will be.  God is Love.

 

Love and blessings,

Sunshine Cottage

                               (Sunshine Cottage in the Backyard)

My inner child delighted at this "find."  It brought back childhood memories of living in Germany.  An old dirt road behind our neighborhood wended through a park-like setting. The Germans had plots of garden land, each with a cute little decorative cottage for storing supplies.  I was only seven at the time and enjoyed our family's evening walks down that magical lane.

I'd forgotten all about it until I assembled this cast-off, and set it up in the meditation garden by the camphor tree.  I named it Sunshine Cottage, and it has brought more light and joy into the yard.  My iris fairy is smiling now that she's at home.

Enjoy your day with the Angels.


Love and blessings,


Karen
