There are new energies and frequencies coming up from the earth and in through the cosmos. Some of these need to be integrated by humanity— assimilated, and in essence, translated energetically. Read More
Healing for the World's Healers
By its very definition, purpose implies that there’s one and only one for each of us. Then we put the pressure on ourselves to need to know what it is at all times. Read More
This is a time like no other that you've experienced. It is a time where you get to embody the teachings and knowledge you've received over the course of your life(times). You are changing your physiology as well as the world through this integration. Read More
As the caretakers of the world, resentment is a common part of our experience. We set impossible standards for ourselves, which usually require that we override our wants, needs, and intuition. Read More
Play is when the Divine can reach you, and when your Guidance can filter into your system. It's when you can easily feel and hear your Angels and guides. Read More
A recent Angel Message was about the importance of inspiration to the ascension process. As the result of that message, a large number of people have been asking me how, exactly, to find inspiration.
Though inspiration happens differently for everyone because it's a personal and subjective experience—there's that bio-individuality thing again—there are some things that seem to work across the board.

Here are my top 7 ways to find and open yourself up to inspiration:
1. Connect with nature: Spending time in nature can help you connect with your inner self and find inspiration in the beauty and tranquility of the natural world.
Immersing yourself in nature can quiet down and re-set your nervous system, opening you up to the messages that are there!
Nature is so inspiring—like the way a seashell perfectly echoes sacred geometry, the healing sound of the ocean, the way an ant carries a crumb that's 50x it's size! So, relax, pay attention, and get inspired!
2. Surround yourself with positive people: Being around people who are positive and inspire you will help you feel motivated and driven towards your goals. Allow them to support and get excited with you.
This may be a change from the experience of having others tell you that your goals and dreams are silly, impossible, or unattainable.
Many times you find yourself being the person that everyone looks to for help or their own inspiration. Find a room where you don't have to lead, full of people like you who other people look to, who know what it takes to hold it together for others, who understand you.
A good idea is to go on retreat, to a networking event, or some type of meetup based on interest. Or you can simply get together with friends who you admire.
3. Explore new experiences: Engaging in new experiences can open up your mind to fresh perspectives and ideas. Traveling to different places, attending events, trying out new activities, or even exploring different cultures can stimulate your creativity and inspire you. By exposing yourself to different environments and situations, you can discover totally new sources of inspiration.
4. Stay curious: You are inquisitive by nature, which can be a great source of inspiration. Stay curious and explore new perspectives and ways of thinking.
Seek out diverse sources when learning about something. There are always those that will resonate, but opening you up to different perspectives will help you to get a bigger picture idea, and be inspired to a more all-encompassing POV or solution.
5. Practice mindfulness: Practicing mindfulness helps you identify and control your thoughts and emotions. This is important for those who often experience strong emotions—ours and others'.
Mindfulness provides inspiration and clarity.
Sometimes, inspiration can come from within. Take time for yourself, find moments of solitude, and engage in self-reflection. Disconnect from distractions, such as technology or busy environments, and allow yourself to think deeply and introspectively. You can meditate, journal, take walks in nature, or engage in activities that promote introspection. By quieting your mind and focusing inward, you may discover new insights, ideas, or solutions that can inspire you.
This is why inspiration happens in the shower so often.
6. Get out of your daily environment: Though routine is good for so many reasons, when looking for inspiration it is helpful to get out of the daily grind.
Doing things differently and being in a new or unexpected environment stimulates you in new ways. Your senses experience things they wouldn't have otherwise. The neurons begin firing differently than they normally would activating new pathways in the brain.
7. Practice Spirituality: Connecting with your spirituality can be a source of inspiration and motivation. This can be through meditation, prayer, visualization, or attending spiritual events.
These are things that can be done daily, weekly, quarterly, or annually. Mix it up. You don't have to practice them all, just the ones that resonate for you right now. Make time for them. Schedule them in. Create space. It's when you do, that the Divine can step in and inspire you!
Try them and then make way for the miracles.
Remember, inspiration comes from unexpected places and at unexpected times. Stay open-minded, be curious, and nurture your passions. What inspires one person may not necessarily inspire another, so it's essential to find what resonates with you personally.
And know that the Universe delights in inspiring you in the most surprising of ways.
Ideally, your home should be a safe-haven, where you can go to unwind, unplug, and decompress. It should be a place that feels safe and brings you joy.
So let’s go even deeper to create that! Studies are showing that one of our biggest exposures to toxic chemicals is through household cleaners. Fortunately, this is a relatively easy fix.
You can still have a clean home and increase your health in the process! Read on for how.
Here are the top 5 chemicals to avoid in store-bought or industrial cleaners (Yes, even some of the “green” ones!):
1. Chlorine. Chlorine is reactive and has been known to be a cause of bladder and rectal cancers.
2. Ammonia. Ammonia is a known eye and lung irritant. It creates a deadly gas when combined with chlorine.
3. Glycol ethers. Glycol ethers, such as butoxyethanol, are in window cleaners. These are known endocrine disruptors and can also harm the eyes, skin, kidneys, and blood.
4. Fragrance. “Fragrance” means a petroleum-based chemical such as pthalate styrene. These chemicals act as xenoestrogens, blocking estrogen receptors in the body and causing hormonal imbalances, as well as cause certain types of cancers.
5. Triclosan and other antibacterial additives. These are potent xenoestrogens that block estrogen receptors, cause hormone imbalance, and have a negative effect on the entire endocrine system. (Not to mention that anything antibacterial kills your gut bacteria, as well!)

What you can do about it:
• Carefully check labels, avoiding products containing these and other harmful chemicals.
• Contact the companies that make your favorite products, asking them to find alternatives to their toxic ingredients or make cleaner versions of their products.
• Make your own cleaning products at home. Perhaps the best, healthiest, and most cost-effective option. There's plenty of information available on line and most use common household items as ingredients. These homemade cleaners are much less expensive than the pre-made ones!
Your home should be a clean safe-haven in all the ways—physically and energetically.
These simple shifts can do just that and will have a huge and lasting impact on your health and the health of your family and pets!
Inspiration is anything you experience that strikes something in you, excites you, and making you want to stay with it. Be fully present with what you are experiencing, letting your senses take over and en-Joy-ing it. Read More
It’s time to walk through this life embodying the wisdom that you’ve gained throughout all lifetimes. Wisdom begins as knowledge, and as it seeps into your system through exploration and use, it becomes part of your cellular structure. This is embodiment.
Knowledge, embodied, is wisdom.
No one else has gone through the exact combinations of life experiences that you have over the course of their soul's life. You’re being asked to walk this planet as a power of example. This combination of experiences and learnings is not duplicated anywhere, therefore the frequency you put forth and the perspective that you have is completely unique. For this reason, when you hold back and prevent it from being shared with the world, you are depriving us of something incredibly necessary.

The Limitation
There's a limiting belief about unworthiness that's still pretty pervasively hanging around within humanity. You know the spiritual principles, yet there is still some part of you that believes it can work for everyone—except you. This is preventing you from truly living that wisdom.
It's time for this belief to be finished, allowing you to embody the knowing that all of this spiritual wisdom works for you, too. Life can change in an instant—in a good way, as well as in other ways. Healing can also happen in an instant, but this limiting belief so often prevents it. You need to be fully open to the possibility in order to let it in.
This is often the subconscious chatter:
• It can't happen for me.
• This is too much to ask.
• It’s too big to be healed instantly.
• What if I move all my energy in this direction and it doesn't happen?
• Who am I, really, to even ask this of Universe/my higher self/the Divine?
• There are so many other people who need this more than I do.
All of that doubt and opposing energy needs to be released; it’s just fear. This energy kicks up especially powerfully in matters of co-creation, manifestation, healing, and abundance. It prevents you from having what you really want—the life you want and need to live in order to show up and serve more fully. All our Angels want is for you to have a life that is conducive to you being your most vibrant, fullest form because the world needs your energy right now.
Your energy is changing. It's harmonizing, so that you can hold everything, everything that is coming to you and through you, as well as everything that you dream of for yourself and for the world.
It's time to release the imprints, doubts, negativity, and fear. In this way, you can be in touch with the world that you want to create, feeling its existence already...if you let yourself! When you release the opposition, your next steps can be clearly received.
The Angels, your guides, and your Divine Team are always showing you your next steps. They will always be laid out in front of you. What causes your lack of clarity is doubts—energy is in opposition to what you desire, and you need to move through these blocks.
For example, if someone receives a difficult health diagnosis that is generally viewed by society as certain death, there is a lot of energy that has to go into overcoming that societal belief before even beginning to address the healing. When one is already in a depleted state, it’s hard to have the energy to overcome that mountain of limitation. If we can do the work to release these societal imprints when we are really well-sourced—physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually—we can then tap into infinite possibility where every potential already exists. This will make it that much easier to move through things when we hit the bumps in the road of life.
The Peace
Archangel Michael is inviting you to get yourself into a space of Peace each and every day. This doesn't mean ignoring the things happening in the world that get you riled up, make you feel anger, or give you a clear indication that change is needed. Those are the things that fuel you into action!
If you can see those things, acknowledge them, sit with them, and be with your feelings about them, you can come to peace with what is. From there, ask what it is that you can do to help, so that your action steps will be clearly received. There won’t be any discordant energy of unexamined emotions swirling and blocking the memo. You'll be in the flow of the synchronicities that comes with asking the questions, “How can I help? How can I best serve?”
The guidance of the Angels always comes with human action steps. Often, humanity asks for guidance and gets the reassurance they were seeking. They then push the action steps into a box in the closet because they just wanted the input and that's it. There will always be necessary action steps to get the desired outcome.
Archangel Michael also says that the time of just sitting still is over. There is a time for your prayer, meditation, and contemplation. These are important. However, out of these times will come clearly directed action. There will always be energy needed to be moved by you in conjunction with the guidance.
On Fear and Justice
The Angels are asking, “Please, please, pleeeeeease take the aligned steps. It is imperative at this point. You are the hands and the hearts of the Divine on this planet. When you're tapped into fear in any way, you are not tapped into your highest guidance or higher wisdom. It may seem like you are, but you're tapping into the lower chakra vibration of the collective."
Sometimes, humanity holds onto this lower vibration energy because you desire justice. Maybe you’ve been wronged in some way, and want that wrong to be righted by the person who wronged you in the first place. When you hold on to the energy of desiring justice, you are holding on to a lower frequency, and it is preventing you from tapping into your higher aspects. You're coming from the lower three chakras.
This is shared for your awareness, so that you can make active choices considering what's going on in your life and what you want to shift. True Justice comes at the soul level. In your limited perspective, you cannot possibly see the big picture. The Angels have the ability to do just that, and are asking you to relax into the knowing that True Justice always will happen, even if it doesn't look like it in your experience. It's happening at the soul level in some way.
Energy is always being balanced out. Justice is always being served.
When you hold onto the burden and weight of seeking retribution, the energy doesn't get lifted or resolved.
Let go of that need. Ask your Angels for assistance. Ask the Divine to balance it out, and truly and fully hand it over.
When you do this, the proper action steps will always be shown through your higher knowing, as opposed to the lower chakras. Follow through, and watch the miracles unfold.
The outcome can be clear and balancing, instead of having your life go awry and be disrupted because of impulse actions and forcing solutions in wrong timing.
The Angels are saying, “Let it go. Let us help you. Free yourself.”
Thinking Thoughts
In all of this, the Angels want you to remember the power of your thoughts. Because of all of the work you've done and the lightness of the planet, your thoughts have the power to manifest instantaneously. If there’s a thought that is in the slightest way misaligned it will manifest. No one wants that.
Aim to get your thoughts really and truly aligned—all of your energy is moving in the same direction. Those will manifest, as well, and be much more en-JOY-able!
You have a really powerful ally in your body who will tell you instantaneously if you’ve had a misaligned thought. It will manifest something, whether it be pain, infection, palpitations, etc. This is a communication that some energy is out of alignment.
Very often, when this happens, the first thing humanity does is seek to rectify the situation. “What do I do? How do I stop it?” The first step should be asking the body what is being communicated. Then, let the body share with you what that energy is.
Your body is always seeking to have a dialogue with you. If you open those lines of communication more, the physical manifestation of misalignment won't be as necessary because you'll be catching the messages quicker.
Once you understand the message, ask your body what it needs to heal. Let your body tell you what it needs in order to rectify the situation.
Pay attention to all of your senses as you listen in. You might be surprised by what it tells you. Sometimes, what you thought was the best solution might not actually be what’s best for your body, after all.
This is an invitation to work more deeply with yourself on so many levels; a request for you to move through the blockages that might currently be standing in the way of embodying your wisdom fully.
The world needs you.
That feels really complete from our Angels this month.
