My dear friends, we love you so very much. As you continue your journey of sitting in stillness from time to time, we will be working with you very closely to help raise your vibration so you can weather these new frequencies with more grace. It is extremely essential to take moments of stillness so we can work with you. There is much darkness on the planet, but as well cause for celebration because, as you add love, all that is less than that vibration bubbles up for healing. You will be seeing this in your own mind and heart as well as in your governments and institutions as the year progresses.
And as you watch what you might consider to be the darkness at times, know that it needs love too. When you meet your own darker spaces, send them love and do the same for others. Are you sad? Reach out for comfort whether that is a call to a friend or a warm blanket. Are you upset with someone? Find out where you are truly upset with yourself, perhaps for harboring expectations they cannot possibly meet. Are you tired and frustrated? Rest, eat well, and you will feel better soon.
Perhaps you are in glorious joy! Spread this and share it with those in need. Some days you will be the angel. Other days you will need the angels.
But above all, dear friends, realize planet earth is a school. Life is a journey. You will have times when you are flying high and other days when you are dipping into the depths. It is all part of your learning how to love God, self, and others. Don’t judge or make anything wrong, dear ones, inside or outside of yourselves. By all means, learn to discern what is healthy for you to be around, but do not judge. This is a gift you can give yourself and others.
God bless you all. We love you so very much.
– The Angels

Hi All,
My healer/psychic/teacher friends of mine and I all joke about "surfing" the waves of the energy. Truly somedays we’re riding high and other days we feel plowed under. But if you trust that ‘this too shall pass’ the denser times move quickly and you recognize the beautiful ones as moments of truth.
I took the week off to get my house painted and do a LOT of work I’ve not had time for. Instead I lost all my energy and couldn’t do much at all. I realized that in spite of all the angels’ urgings to take down time I had not taken enough. I was near exhaustion! Nothing a little soul searching and stillness couldn’t cure.
And so I spent a LOT of quiet time after the painters finally left and dug deep into my heart. I found some old gunk from my past still hanging around, a few conversations I had not had that needed to be had, and some forgiveness where I didn’t even know I was still harboring judgments. So the conversations were held, the forgiveness was done and all of the sudden my life force flowed back into my like an ocean wave gushing through me. I felt all my energy return in less than 24 hours.
It is amazing how we can sap ourselves and not even know it. The time in stillness offers a chance for the angels to gently urge those unhealed parts of ourselves up and out. It is SO much easier to work with them by simply sitting still and asking for assistance, than it is to proceed on our journey as if we’re doing it alone.
As the Beatles sang, "I get by with a little help from my friends!"
The angels really DO love you!
Love you all,
Ann

I was asked at dinner tonight how I prefer to meditate.
"I sit in silence. On Sunday mornings I meditate with a Christian group. We will typically open with a reading or lesson by Father John Main or Father Laurence Freeman (http://swamij.com/maranatha.htm). We sit in a circle in silence for about 30 minutes. At the end of the time, a tuning bowl is struck three times. Sometimes afterwards some music is played. Sometimes there is another passage or mantra shared. Sometimes someone has a question and opens their experience up for discussion with the others. It just depends."
I have a weekend retreat planned to St. David’s monastery for a group meditation next month. I have no idea what to expect. There was an agenda and description of the itinerary, but I did not give it much attention yet. It doesn’t really matter to me, or represent the reason for my registration. Even if we spent the entire 72 hours in silence and simply soaked in being there, it would seem to me that that’s exactly why we chose to be there in the first place. And so it is. Namaste
