Ask the Angels



The Journey

One day you finally knew
what you had to do, and began,
though the voices around you 
kept shouting
their bad advice -
though the whole house
began to tremble
and you felt the old tug
at your ankles. 
"Mend my life!"
each voice cried.
But you didn't stop.
You knew what you had to do,
though the wind pried 
with its stiff fingers
at the very foundations, 
though their melancholy
was terrible.
It was already late
enough, and a wild night,
and the road full of fallen
branches and stones.
But little by little,
as you left their voices behind,
the stars began to burn
through the sheets of clouds,
and there was a new voice
which you slowly
recognized as your own,
that kept you company
as you strode deeper and deeper
into the world,
determined to do the only thing you could do -
determined to save 
the only life that you could save.

~Mary Oliver


I am so moved by this poem, everytime I read it. Mary Oliver has a such a knack for echoing our thoughts, the voices in our hearts. What a great poem to illustrate blooming!  At one point in our lives, we have to stop listening to the voices on the outside and heed the voice within.  That is when we begin to go from being a bud to blooming into a real flower.  

It means instead of letting outside authority direct our lives, we begin developing our own authority. We are so taught and conditioned to rely on the outside for what we need. But we already have everything we need, we just need to 1) realize that this is the truth, 2) believe this to be the truth, and 3) begin acting and living as if this were the truth.

Discover how the angels can help...

This is the real paradigm shift.  In order to really bloom, we need to align with who we really are.  Not the person our parents think we are, or our teachers, or our friends.  But the person we are deep within. We need to become our own authority and no longer rely on outside authority to tell us if something is good for us or not.  

It can be a little scary at first, as it means stepping out of the box.  Even though we may feel comfortable in the box.  We need to learn to take baby steps.  A very fun way to do this is by learning to communicate with angels.  

What do I mean by angels?  The angels are our lofty (non-egocentric) thoughts (hence the wings).  They represent a loving, caring energy within us that pushes us forward, that warns us when we need it, that helps us find lost items, that helps us heal when we need it, that gives us advice when we need it...  This presence keeps us aligned with our highest good.  It is really one of Life's greatest gifts!

Connecting with the angels is a sure fire way to bloom!  Our angels have always been within us.  But we sometimes loose touch with them through conditioning, through over-analyzing or over-rationalizing things, through being too loud or overly fearful and negative. The quickest path to the good we want, is by connecting to our angels, our intuition for here we have a treasure of astonishing resources; resources we never knew we had.  

Oh it won't all come over night - although it could.  Developing that muscle and learning to trust it is a learning process; but highly enjoyable and enriching.  Learning to heed the counsel of your angels promises profound transformation.  And everyone around you benefits! Look how Mary Oliver artfully describes this angelic presence that encourages us to break away from old ways of doing, being and seeing, ... and there was a new voice which you slowly recognized as your own, that kept you company as you strode deeper and deeper into the world...  Yes, definitely the work of angels!

Convinced?  I hope so.  Check out this link for more information on how you can become more familiar with this awesome presence and power you have within you.  I highly recommend all products, but the angel communication specialist class is  ideal for better developing that special connection.
