PEACE ON EARTH

PEACE ON EARTH – Article One

Pilgrimages, Shrines and Pope Visits

Those of us who are drawn to special places, be they religious or wondrous, are actually called to go there.  My spiritual path has led me many places, and today’s article is about the religious spots I’ve been inspired to visit.

The first “call” was to Conyers, GA.  Blessed Mother Mary had been appearing there to a woman named Nancy Fowler.  People were traveling to “the farm” from all over; busloads even making the trek.  Rosary bead links were changeling color from silver to gold, people were leaving with sparkles on their faces and bodies, the sun was seen spinning, and photographs were filled with orbs.  My call was received when the book, Wake Up America: take my heart take my hand by Ann Marie Hancock manifested itself to me.  I had run into the local stationery store just as they opened, I needed paper for the newsletter.  I saw the book and decided to purchase it since it was the only copy there.  When I went to the register the clerk asked me where I found the book.  “In the back, on the middle bookshelf.  But it’s the only copy that was there,” I added, thinking she might want a copy for herself.

“You don’t understand,” she said.  “We did inventory this morning and I inventoried the books.  This book was not there.”

Ah, the angels are up to their usual and a strong message of taking pilgrimages was headed my way.  Somehow that book then led to Medjugorje, where the Blessed Mother had appeared to children in 1981.  (She still appears to them now, in 2015.)  Medjugorje is located in the Bosnia and Hertzegovenia area, close to Croatia.  Driving through the country you would see remnants of buildings without roofs, bombed or burned during the war that took place a good 10 years earlier.  The small village of Medjugorje (when I visited 15 years ago) was welcoming and peaceful.  The natives were kind and loving, and stopped whatever they were doing everyday at 6:25 to go outside and say a short prayer while Blessed Mother Mary appears to the visionaries.  It was quite interesting to see shopkeepers, restaurant workers, tour guides, etc. just stop and stand still, heads bowed for a few minutes.

Another “call” was to Mexico, where I was lucky enough to see the tilma of Juan Diego.  We traveled like royalty, and were treated well by all we encountered.  The many stories of miracles through the towns (and not small miracles, like someone was healed; but huge village/town changing miracles) were abundant, and the joy radiating from the faces of those in close proximity of the many miraculous areas was tangible.

As I write this, I think it is very synchronistic that our center is home to a print of Our Lady of Guadalupe that was blessed by Our Lady of Medjugoje.  That story is for another day.

The “call” to Italy was filled with shrine/church visits, Mass in unique places, lunch at the Vatican’s seminary and beautiful people all around.

Each of these pilgrimages was amazing in its own right.  There was an air of excitement and expectation around the pilgrims.  The grounds we visited all had a tangible energy.  You could feel it in the air:  peace and awe, excitement and anticipation, and of course, the tourist vibe was strong.  Once you go to Medjugorje, you won’t want to leave.  (One of my customers went a year or so after I did, came back, and planned to retire there, in the caves, helping the homeless.)  It’s simply an amazing soul-changing experience.  Guadalupe was also an unbelievable experience, watching the faithful crawl on their knees to the altar.  The sound of so many different languages, all with the same tone of excitement, to see the kindness many would share especially in large crowds is always heartwarming.

What I noticed about the visits to these far away places is that while each of them is known for something different, they all carry a certain vibration, maybe even an aura of the miraculous.  Whether you visit the village of Medjugorje or the Shrine of Czestachowa in Doylestown, the vibration is the same.  The people may be different, but the energy of the land is phenomenal.  This is true of whatever shrine you visit in whatever land.  Many miracles occur at Czestachowa in Doylestown and when I have a special request, that’s where I head.  St. Katharine Drexel’s Shrine in Philadelphia has you forgetting you are in the middle of a city as soon as you enter the grounds.  Saint Pio’s shrine in Barto carries a special peace.  But you can duck into a shrine in the middle of downtown somewhere (like St. Patrick’s Cathedral in NYC) and experience oneness.

Any trip to a far away holy place or a nearby shrine often is accompanied by excitement, expectation and awe.  The participants are so happy to be attending a special place, renowned for its miracle making energy.  None of my trips to Italy, Bosnia, Mexico or any of the shrines in the USA could compare to my pilgrimage to see the pope.

Much like that first pilgrimage, I was called.  But, believe me, I wasn’t listening.  I thought it would be an interesting trip, but I’ve been on mobbed religious expeditions and figured I would sit this one out.  I could watch on TV or online, have a better view, and be much more comfortable.  The angels obviously had a different plan and when I wouldn’t listen to them, friends, family and everyone I came in contact with seemed to have only one question for me.  “Are you going to see the pope?”

Between tickets being laid at my feet, my work for the weekend cancelled, the many people asking me, and being in Philly on Friday night anyway, I decided (you like that?  “I decided” like I had a choice) to go to see the pope.  Another reason I didn’t want to go was because I kept “seeing” a bomb.  Thank goodness that energy dissipated.

It was over a month ago, and it seriously took weeks for figure out the correct words to describe the energy of the pope’s visit.  Finally, I had it.  Reverence.  The people in Philly exuded a reverence I had never encountered before.  Not at the Vatican, not in Assisi, not in Medjugorje; but here in Philadelphia the energy was one of deep reverence.

Many people heard the call and just traveled to Philadelphia with no set plan, no hotel room, no idea if they would even be able to get into the city.  I am still amazed that people from Canada decided to drive to the Warminster train station to go in to see the pope.  An entire family from Alabama did the same.  And there were thousands of other similar stories.  Busloads came from Michigan, and even as far as California.  They all descended upon Philadelphia, and they all carried vibrations of reverence, humility, honor and deeply privileged to be there.   The vibration was holier than all of my pilgrimages with the cardinal, the parish, and Medjugorje all together.  It wasn’t the fanatical event the media worked hard to portray, it was people being kind to each other, almost childlike in silence, hands clasped and eyes wide, ready to see what’s not been seen before.  We were so very blessed to have this man come to bless our country, to walk upon the streets of our capital and two biggest cities.  The pilgrims in Philly understood that we were a part of history beyond what eye could see, ear could hear and heart could feel.  Any of us in that vibration carried it home with us to all those we are in contact with:  the folks from California took it with them, the family from Alabama carried it home.  The peeps from Canada went back and shared it there – and so on.

If you want a little bit of peace, if you want to experience the vibration of the miraculous, if you just want to sit still and be ONE with all of creation – take a short drive to your local holy shrine.  Sit and Be.  Allow the healing energies to permeate your being.  You don’t need to subscribe to the shrine’s religious mode of thought – energy has no religion.  Just go, sit and Be.  Then watch your life change....

FULL MOON 'SCOPES

Full Moon AngelScopes™ November 25, 2015

This full moon the angels remind us not to let worldly concerns thwart our inner generosity.  Motivation fueled by fear creates hardened hearts.  Link into your inner enchanted self, and allow that enchantment to be your motivation.  When celebrating with family and friends take a moment to send peace to those who are far from home, and ask that they too will know the warmth of a loving and safe haven.  Try and do this not just on Thanksgiving but every day.  When you feel fear creeping in, ask your angels to help you discern true danger from fear.  At this time the angels are working with all light spirits – Ascended and Galactic Masters, Elders, Saints and other angels to bring each of us a content and peaceful heart.  When you join them in this work, you change the light of the world.

Ask the angel or entity indicated to help you through this period, especially if there are major decisions to be made.

Aries – The holiday season is upon us and family is a big part of your focus now, Aries.  There may be many demands on your time and you would like to just do your own thing or maybe have everyone do your own thing with you.  Decisions are being made and Jesus is your guide in every area from home to career.  You are well synced with your partner or best friend and the two of you are making fun plans.  Those younger than you may need advice; they also need encouragement towards self-sufficiency.  Explain the many benefits to them when making your points. 

Taurus – It’s a blessed time indeed, Taurus!  The Creator is sending you all you need for a happy home as well as a full heart.  Feeding your spiritual self will expand your physical life.  If you are single you may be asked to or decide to commit to a monogamous relationship.  Answers come quickly now, and Archangel Ratziel is helping the Creator open your heart and increase your knowledge.  More blessings arrive the more you simplify your life.  This full moon ends one major life cycle and begins another for many Taureans.  Remaining open allows extra blessings to surround you.

           

Gemini – Patience is a virtue but you’ve had enough of the waiting game, Gemini!  You feel stuck, and the angels indicate that’s due more to your outlook than your actual situation.  The angel Jophiel is working with your guardian angel to help you “see” more clearly.  A short trip away from your usual surroundings could be just what’s needed to help you move forward on a significant new endeavor.  Your will see big changes for those around you through the end of December.  There is a very good chance your renewal will happen in the next six weeks, sooner if you open to angelic guidance.  Yellow flowers are your signs of angelic help.

Cancer – Change is on the horizon and you find yourself about to embark upon a journey, leaving behind many of your unproductive habits.  Small epiphanies occur almost daily, and St. Gabriel is waiting to lead you to the next adventure of your life.  You will find yourself more in tune with your soul than ever before.  It’s a great time for financial planning.  You may find yourself seeing more of the positive and less of the negative in others. 

Leo – It’s your time to shine, Leo!  Those around you aren’t particularly happy that they don’t get to spend as much time with you as they once did.  Family may try to distract you from your path, but staying true to yourself and your mission brings more rewards than ever before.  Your closest loved ones celebrate your successes with you.  It’s a time of illumination as you act upon your inner guidance.  Your guardian angel leads you to winnings as well as to opportunities to share. 

Virgo – Family activity is highlighted as spirited conversations take place through to the next full moon.  Excitement is building and ideas are flying.  St. Michael is busy clearing obstacles and removing debris that blocks your advancement.  It’s a great time to share plans so you can get some feedback.  Money may be a concern and decisions on major purchases are best held off for processing until after the new moon.

Libra – It’s a cozy time as you and your significant other draw closer together, agreeing in many areas and almost even thinking as one person.  Marriage is good during this full to new moon time frame.  Mentoring works wonders – whether you are the mentor or the mentored.    Plan romantic evenings as often as possible, soon there may be little time to be alone with your lover, as family needs increase once the new moon rolls in and increase through the New Year.  Blessed Mother Mary adds a soothing love vibration all around you.

Scorpio – A financial change may be heading your way as you make a commitment unlike any you’ve ever made before.  Holy Spirit is busy helping you clean up loose ends and heal leftover hurts.  It’s a great time to ask for all you desire.  The answers to how to get what you need are readily available.  Mini miracles are highlighted for those around you as well as yourself.  Ask often. 

Sagittarius – You may feel as if you are starting all over again from the beginning, Sag.  You are also juggling many activities at once, and those around you are waiting to act until after you’ve made some decisions.  Frustration will be short-lived, allowing the newest adventure to present itself before the New Year.  St. Raphael smooths ruffled feathers, adds balm where needed, and brings answers in your dreams.  (You aren’t hearing him during the day.)  Your intuition moves into high gear by mid-December and is active throughout the first quarter of 2016.

Capricorn – It’s on the road again as travel and new beginnings are highlighted.  Your past experience serves you well and you may see yourself progressing professionally.  Respect for your opinion / knowledge grows as loved ones see a side of you they missed before.  Metatron helps make a way where there is none, so the sky’s the limit for you as you plan for 2016.  Aim high.

Aquarius – Love is accented and you feel well taken care of by those around you.  A private endeavor brings success, and you are laying the ground work for many improvements: spiritual, physical and financial.  Those with children will feel an appreciation that previously seemed lacking.  Self-worth contributes to success and more acceptance from others.  Haniel expands your victories, and presents you with choices you missed before.

Pisces – So many choices (some easier to make than others) present themselves during this full to new moon phase.  Family weighs in and your angels remind you that you can’t make everyone happy so focus on making yourself happy.  Your guardian angel and master guide are working together with you to help determine a specific path for the upcoming year.  You can feel the shift coming all around you, even if it is months away.  Looks like 2016 is going to be one great year for you Pisces!. 

NEW MOON – Friday, Dec. 11th 5:29am EST

Good for all you love class students! 

Change the World

As we prepare to enter a season of love and joy we are sobered by the attacks taking place on the other side of the world with our allies.  These attacks by the Islamic State ignite within us a myriad of emotions, and bring to mind the serenity prayer of St. Francis… “Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace… where there is hatred let me sow love….” It’s not so easy to look at the Islamic State with loving eyes, and practically impossible for most.  During this time of unrest around the world (and make no mistake, daily attacks are occurring around the world) try and catch your own thoughts of fear and loathing and divert them to thoughts of love and peace.  Everything is energy, and with focused effort we can, as a collective unit, change the vibrations of these terrorists.

When the terrorists place fear in our hearts they expand their power.  (They are changing the vibrations we carry.)  Last week I noticed a great sign outside a church, “Pray for the persecuted and the persecutors.”  To make a change, we as spiritual soldiers can reconnect with our souls and champion this fight by changing our thoughts; which in turn will change others’ thoughts.  Just as ISIS stages small acts of war in many places, we can wage small acts of love and victory within ourselves and our homes.  As we grow our love vibration, we will change the world.  Yes, even in our small circle of the world, every computer click we implement carries our vibrations out, each thought adds to the cosmic energy of the universe, each act of kindness reaches beyond us and all those we are attached to.  These acts of love reach out to the person we perform the kindness for and all of their circle of influence, all they come in contact as well.  Then these vibrations spread even further, to all who walk near us, all who pass where that act was performed, and all who come in contact with these strangers.  Everything we do, no matter how big or small is felt on a much larger scale than any of us are aware.

The bombings of Paris are now a few days behind us.  We are watching as the world powers are doing what they know or what they feel they can do to handle this group; a group that emanates hate and fear for themselves and all those around them.  We can ask for angelic help as well.  We can work with the angels (or universe or God, whatever you work with) to keep our hearts clear and not become hardened by fear or hatred.  We can request help for the misguided who join the terrorist community.  We can ask for armies of angels to aid in this fight.  These little acts, this little bit of time spent requesting help can grow the peace vibration. 

Other things we can do to change the world vibration includes clearing ourselves and keeping a higher love vibration around us.  We can be kinder to ourselves and our loved ones.  We can be kinder to strangers.  We can change our words to a more positive vibration.  Try saying “LOVE!” instead of “F#ck”.  (This makes me really laugh, especially since a lot of my family seems to think that particular f word should precede every other word and definitely precede everyone’s name.)  When I picture someone yelling “LOVE!” instead it just makes me giggle.  One of my best friends takes a walk and repeats 26 positive words over and over while walking.  She says this helps clear her head and puts her in a better mood, even when she’s in a good mood already.

Each of these little actions that raise our vibrations also raise the world vibrations.  You may be only one tiny drop in the sea, but one more drop is what makes a dam break. 

Thanks for reading!  Wishing you a wonderful rest of November.

Heart Drop Meditation

Seems like a good time to repeat this meditation.  This is one of my favorites, do it for all of the world and help remove excessive negativity, fear and hatred/loathing.

Make yourself comfortable.  Sitting in a favorite chair, laying down, whichever helps you to relax and focus on the meditation.

Close your eyes.  Get your body into a comfortable position.  Begin by inhaling through your nose as deeply as you can, filling your lungs to capacity.  Exhale through your lips, pushing every bit of air out of your lungs.  Do this three to five times.  Inhaling as deeply as you can, exhaling as much as you can.  You are inhaling positive healing energy, and exhaling and releasing all stress, all anxiety and all negativity.  After you have finished your 3-5 good, deep breaths, continue to breathe normally.  Every breath you take puts you deeper and deeper into a state of relaxation and focus.  You begin to feel your body relax with each breath your take.  Your toes, your feet, your ankles becoming more and more relaxed with every breath.  Your calves, knees thighs and hips relaxing with each breath.  Every breath you take puts you deeper and deeper into a state of relaxation and focus.  Your mind is focused and your body relaxed, as you continue to inhale positive healing energy, and exhale all stress, all anxiety and all negativity.  You feel your buttocks, your torso and your arms relaxing.  Your shoulders are totally relaxed as you continue to breath, every breath you take putting you deeper and deeper into a state of relaxation and focus.  Your neck, your jaw, your cheek and your brow – all totally relaxed.  Your head totally relaxed.  Continue to breathe normally, inhaling positive healing energy and exhaling and releasing all stress.  Every breath putting you deeper and deeper into a state of relaxation and focus.

Begin by seeing a bright white light sun over top of your head.  This is a giant ball of energy, a brilliant bright white light sun.   A beam of that sun comes down and goes through you as if you are a hollow straw, filling you with white light.  Another beam comes down and surrounds you, totally covering you with white light.  As you inhale, you are inhaling that white light, breathing in positive healing energy and as you exhale releasing all stress, all anxiety, all negativity.

In your mind’s eye you see your guardian angel standing next to you.  Your angel has a basket of glowing hearts, the hearts are made of gold light.  The angel hands you a basket that is full of glowing hearts as well.  You feel yourself begin to lift off the ground, and with the speed of thought realize you are flying above the earth, with your angel next to you.  You are over the town you live and you drop a heart out of the basket.  You watch as the heart descends and is absorbed by the earth.  The area where the heart landed seems a little brighter.  You and your angel begin to travel, with the speed of thought, around your community, your town, your state – dropping hearts everywhere.  Even though you are dropping hearts, the baskets never seem to empty, there is a never-ending supply of gold light hearts, ready to be dropped upon the earth.  With the speed of thought the two of you continue traveling, dropping hearts everywhere, and watching as the light of those dropped hearts joins and spreads over the earth.  The United states now has a golden glow.  You and your angel cover Canada and Mexico, so all of North America is covered with golden light.  You continue on to South America, where with the speed of thought, the hearts are dropped and the continent is glowing golden.  You approach the Atlantic Ocean and drop the hearts in, with the speed of thought the entire ocean is a beautiful gold light, and you continue on, covering Australia, Europe, Africa and Asia.  All island nations are also covered with light, and when you have dropped your hearts over the Pacific Ocean, you notice the energy has reached the North and South poles.  You and your angel continue to rise above the earth, heading into space, where you look down and see the earth as a beautiful shining planet, the colors of the ocean sparkling, the color of the land healthy. 

Your angel hugs you, you hug back, and with the speed of thought you find yourself back in your chair.  Take a couple of deep breaths and when you are ready, open your eyes.

11/11 New Moon

New Moon AngelScopes™ November 11, 2015

This new moon the angels ask us to increase our love vibration by opening to learning and sharing.  The 11/11 vibration inspires us to speak (share) and listen (learn) to fulfill a master mission.  Romance may be highlighted, and the angels may speak through spouses and significant others when the direct-to-you course isn’t working.  (Meaning you aren’t listening or perhaps you are too busy to hear your angels.)  Taking time each day to recognize what you are thankful for will change your entire holiday season, imbuing it with light.  If you have people you are thankful for – let them know!  Each time you do it increases the light for you both two-fold, and increases the light of the world immensely.

Ask the angel or entity indicated to help you through this period, especially if there are major decisions to be made.

Aries – Sometimes your impatience gets the best of you, Aries.  You know good things are coming and you just can’t wait.  Next thing you know you are burned out before the anticipated event arrives.  Take a step back.  Breathe.  Your angels are working on it all.  Relax – nothing you can do will move things any faster.  St. Raphael soothes you while St. Gabriel distracts you with exciting new projects.  Someone around you is leaving home and you will help them with their independence. 

Taurus – Money talks, and you really enjoy that sound, Taurus.  It’s a time to admire and acknowledge your treasures – spiritual and physical.  It’s also a time to be kind to yourself.  No matter what your life situation is or how you got where you are, you’ve done what you thought best all the way through it all.  Hope and blessings are on the horizon, your master guide is working with the big guns – Jesus and Metatron – to get you right where you need to be.  Negative Nellies may be close at hand, don’t get tangled in their webs.

           

Gemini – The angels are asking you to ignore people trying to pull you into their drama.  This may be tough, but in the end it could be you left on the outside looking in if you join in that game.  Your intellect is working overtime and you may have some truly brilliant ideas come through.  Take notes, the time to act will be after January first.  If you act now, everything will be delayed anyway, so make notes and refine plans so that when the new year arrives you are ready.  Blessed Mother Mary is close by, offering comfort, support, guidance and encouragement.  If you receive a rose, it’s really from her.

Cancer – The energy from the full moon continues, if you’ve been holding off on decision making NOW is the time.  Look at ways to improve your life and act upon them.  This doesn’t necessarily mean big changes (like relocating to a far away state) but could be as small as changing up the furniture setting.  Whatever you decide to do, Tzadkiel is helping, encouraging you towards the most healing and advantageous choice.  This coule be the time when you make the absolute BEST decision of your life.

Leo – Lots of movement and change is all around you, as decisions lead to wishes coming true.  Group activities are super-inspiring, and you may see your circle of influence grow.  Romance may end up on the back burner, but no worries, the flame there keeps it warm.  St. Michael is your champion in areas big and small through the full moon. 

Virgo – Make a wish, follow it up with a prayer or some type of thanksgiving, and watch your desires manifest almost instantly.  Wishes for yourself and others change the vibrations around you.  There’s an entire group of angels just waiting for instructions from you.  This is a happy time, and the angels also remind you that when you get stuck or confused, ask them for help and then forget about it.  They’ll do the work for you.  There may be a celebration of a loved one’s accomplishments.

Libra – Looks like you or someone you love will be moving by month’s end, Libra.  It’s a brave new world and there may be challenges ahead, but a little work can make the end result phenomenal.  A mother figure may seem overbearing at times, send her love and then do what you must to keep your life on track.  Archangel Sandalphon helps you put things in order.  Trust your insides and have a little patience – you may be very surprised at how things turn out. 

Scorpio – There are times when each of us can be our own worst enemy and your time is now.  Be kind to yourself, Scorp.  Have your papers in order, there may be a contract deal on the table.  The angels ask you to give them all your fears so you can see the positive aspects this deal brings with it.  The Creator is removing negativity and darkness so your path is clear to you.  A little downtime can be just what you need to refuel.  Schedule it in now. 

Sagittarius – You may be feeling a little less than your normal sun-shiny self, Sag, as you contemplate life changes you want to make and the work associated with those changes.  Look at the positives and take time to focus on exactly where you want to be.  Concerns about a female may be directing your path – be sure any help you give is good for all concerned.  Archangel Haniel opens doors to what you need – be it opportunity or peace and quiet.  Peach and salmon are great healing colors for you at this time.

Capricorn – You have all you want/need, yet new opportunity is knocking.  You may not be ready, and the angels want you to know that you do not need to decide right NOW.  If you want to put things on back burners until after January 1^st, go ahead.  Romance is a highlight during this time, and interruptions will be the norm through the holidays.  Jesus will guide you – just open a book and read where your eyes fall.  That will be your message. 

Aquarius – Stress from the job can put a strain on your main relationship, Aquarians.  Drama with those not in your immediate household can also be a major stressor, let it go.  Sometimes focusing on your own life is the best course of action to pull you back into alignment with your soul and your angels.  A surprise gift lifts your spirits.  St. Gabriel adds light to everyday and reminds you that often laughter is the best medicine.   

Pisces – It’s quite an enjoyable time as you are led to increased funds and little miracles.  A trusted advisor shows you the way when you thought the road was closed.  Small victories occur daily during this new to full moon phase, and you are reminded that giving and receiving are equally important.  The Shekina energy is strong and fills you with a contentment and peace that seems to have been missing a while.  Rest and socializing are both excellent activities for you now.   

FULL MOON – Wednesday, Nov. 25^th 5:44pm EST
