So…I chatted up Jamie about the Connecting with Your Angels class to get more info.

Kristen: What can we expect when attending this class?

Jamie:  In this class, students can expect to not only learn various ways to connect with their angels but more about their own abilities and styles of connecting with their own inner divine guidance!  This class is a great introduction and overview of the Angelic realm, who they are, your own intuitive abilities, and various methods of connecting with your angels for a very affordable price and in a very supportive, safe environment.  The evening event which is optional will be a gallery-style reading where I channel forth messages from the angels for various random audience members.

Kristen:  How long have you been teaching this class?

Jamie: I have been teaching this class as well as variations of this class since 2005.

Kristen: What is your favorite thing about this class?

Jamie: My favorite thing about teaching this class is the students’ awareness that they have always been in tune with their angels and hearing divine guidance even though they may not have ever realized it!

Kristen: Which Angel do you work the most with and why?

Jamie: I work most closely with Archangel Azrael due to the fact that I specialize in Mediumship and he is the angel that helps with grief, bereavement, and transitions.

Thanks Jamie!!!


Be Thankful for diversity as it brings enlightenment.

The Wisdom of Forgiveness

By Brittany K. James

When we forgive someone, we release the cycle of grudges, hurts, and revenge.  This doesn’t make what the other person did okay, and it is, of course, easier said than done, but this is how we find the wisdom that awaits us. Sometimes it’s easier to forgive the transgressions of a complete stranger then it is to let go of something our spouse did months or even years ago. For so many reasons, those close to us can get under our skin like no one else! And it can be hard to let that go.

We’ve all been hurt, had our hearts broken, experienced loss and pain. But we are so much more than our earthly incarnation and we are gifted the opportunity to realize this through the act of forgiveness. Archangel Uriel is a wise and powerful archangel who can help us find the lessons in the seemingly insurmountable things that happen to us. He can help us learn the lessons within the hardships and light the way for us to see the path of compassion and grace. He calls us to shine our inner light upon those whom we feel have hurt us. This light can sometimes come to us in surprising ways as I found out first hand some years ago.

When I was 21 years old, I lived alone, and unbeknownst to me, a strange man had been stalking me. I awoke one night to find his shadowed silhouette standing in my bedroom doorway. The light from the streetlamp outside my window streamed inside, and I watched as he rifled through my belongings. Before I knew what was happening, he was at my bedside and there was a knife at my throat. He threatened to kill me. I thought to myself, “This can’t be happening.” But it was. Of course I was terrified, and everything in me was frozen.  I was in a place where time and space didn’t exist.  And I didn’t know what to do.

Suddenly, I left my body and found myself very near my ceiling. I began to receive information about my attacker.  I knew that something in him had gone wrong due to issues with his mother. I knew that he didn’t know what he was doing. I knew that he didn’t have the ability to stop himself. That he was sick. That he needed help. And then an even more extraordinary thing happened. I forgave him. I was detached from the situation and was able in that moment to be objective enough to understand. I knew that my body was not the whole of who I was and that this man was not just the human being who was hurting me.

I knew I was responsible for my life, including this horrific situation, and I knew this was a profound lesson for me. I experienced the capacity to experience the Oneness of all life, including that my soul and this man’s soul was part of that Oneness. But why did anyone who could commit heinous crimes deserve forgiveness? Was I crazy? In shock? At the time, I couldn’t put it into words, but I experienced the wisdom of forgiveness. And then I was back in my body as quickly as I had left it.

In the days that followed the attack I found myself dealing with the reactions of people.  Family members blamed me because I “should have known better then to live by myself.” A man I had been seeing suddenly wanted nothing to do with me. Finding the police report, the local newspaper printed the story and actually included my name! Once public, there were relatives who thought I was bringing shame to the family. A male co worker thought I was now ‘free game’. In the midst of this insanity I struggled to do what I had been able to do during the actual ordeal-I struggled to forgive. These people were my loved ones, friends and co workers. I knew them. But I couldn’t forgive them the way I forgave the complete stranger who broke into my apartment in the middle of the night and assaulted me.

The wisdom wasn’t coming. I was not outside my body floating at my ceiling. I was firmly rooted in my physical self and I was hurting. I did, however, eventually forgive. I came to understand that holding onto the anger I felt towards these people was not serving me and never would. They were on their path just as I was on mine.  About 4 years after the attack, I was in court facing the man who had altered the course of my life so violently. He was smaller than I remembered and as he sat before me shackled at his hands and feet, he hung his head and he wept. I learned many things that day, new things about how he had stalked me, followed me to my parent’s home, he had been in my car and in my apartment when I was at work. I was given a whole new set of circumstances to digest and yes, to forgive.

I don’t think he ever lifted his head and looked at me that day. I wonder if he ever forgave himself? What he did to me was not okay, but I could choose to forgive him and find peace. And I am forever grateful that I did because it’s helped me grow in such glorious ways. Now, working with the angels, I know that no matter how dire our circumstances may be, no matter how hurt we have been by another, we are never alone and we can forgive. And that makes us wise.

If you are having difficulty forgiving someone, call upon Archangel Uriel. He will be by your side immediately and impart his aura into your mind. He glows like the flame of a candle, soft and powerful. He will fill you with peaceful compassion and soothe your thoughts. Watch as he raises his illuminated lantern and places it into each of your chakras, gently clearing them. Allow this loving archangel to envelop you completely. Rest. Sleep if you can and allow Uriel to heal your mind and your heart. When you are ready, ask Uriel to help you find the wisdom of forgiveness. You will be amazed at how profoundly wise you really are.

Follow the Light

by Camille Licate

Archangel Uriel has the ability to help us see things clearly.  In a world where we have so much energy swirling around us via the news, friends, family, and career, it is easy for our vision to be clouded.  Look to Archangel Uriel to cast a new light on any subject matter you may be wrestling with and ask for his Divine guidance in seeing the situation clearly.

Relationships with others can cause confusion, especially when they are romantic in nature.  A person you like can seem warm and inviting and then the next day cold and distant.  By asking to see things clearly, Archangel Uriel can help you make a decision as to whether pursuing the relationship will benefit you.  The key is to be open and accept what you see. Your Angels and Guides can help support you with this process.

In our current job market, letting go of a job that is no longer aligned with you may seem fool-hardy.  But, staying in a job that’s become stagnant blocks your progress as well.  This is another instance where you can call on Archangel Uriel to help you see another path and another way.

Be in the silence of knowing that all is in Divine Order and that you are exactly where you need to be in this moment.  What are you learning?  What do you see?  Do you need a little more light?  Allow Archangel Uriel to help you focus on your God within.  In doing so, there will be peace and a crystal clear path for you to follow!

Prepare with Archangel Uriel

by Camille Licate

So how many of you have seen the movie 2012?  I have not, but from what I gather it is a film about mass disaster around the world caused by climate change and the “end” of world.  I must admit, I have always been drawn to disaster movies because I really appreciate special effects, but I have also always thought they are not the best movies for people that may take them literally.

In short, if you can see them as a 2-hour “no brainer” movie, great, but if they instill fear and dread, then that is not the best energy to put out into the Universe.

Interestingly, this month we are featuring Archangel Uriel.  Uriel helps us deal with natural disasters such as earthquakes, tornados, and floods.  We can ask him to protect us from these events or prevent them if need-be.  We can also call on Archangel Uriel to help us prepare for these events if they happen and most importantly, keep us free from fear of what could happen.Remember, fear simply feeds fear and by being prepared, you can avert a lot of anxiety and free yourself from thinking the worst.

When we call on Archangel Uriel for this particular issue, we can ask him to keep us steady and clear in the event of an emergency and to illuminate our paths with the beautiful Light of God he carries.

Breathe in the security that Archangel Uriel has to offer.  Follow his guidance when it comes to being prepared and live your life, embracing every moment or every day!

And Now, a Word From Our Sponsor

by Radleigh Valentine

Archangel Uriel and I have been tight for a long time.   My relationship with him is closer than with any other Archangel.   In Lightworker gigs, that’s unusual.   Michael tends to corner the market as the superstar in the Archangel world.   And of course, I call on Michael often and am grateful for the powerful sway he holds over some very key issues.   However, Uriel and I have been close since I first got my certification as an Angel Therapy Practitioner back in 2003.

At that time, Dr. Virtue did a guided meditation for the ATP students that included bringing in each of the primary 15 Archangels.   As she did that alphabetically, Uriel was 14^th.  Completely contrary to my experience of ATP up until that moment, the meditation was totally flat.   I didn’t feel the presence of any of the Archangels and I was concerned why I wasn’t getting anything from the meditation.

But then Dr. Virtue invited in Uriel.   And everything changed.   The entire room was flooded with a golden light.   The floor turned into golden sparkles as though it was painted with gold glitter.   I heard angel choruses and the light from Uriel was blinding.   I was totally floored!  Finally I was locking into the meditation!  I was so happy!

Then Dr. Virtue brought in Archangel Zadkiel and it was like the whole thing went flat again.   I had nothin’.  Nadda.   Nyet.

I took that as a significant message about which Archangel I would be working with.  From that moment on, my experience at ATP was like a whack on the head from Uriel.   Every throw of Angel Oracle Cards I threw had Uriel in it.  Every reading I got from fellow students referenced Uriel.   And my first reading with a staff member began with her saying “Did you know that Archangel Uriel is with you?”

Yes.  I had noticed.   In fact, the class started calling me Uriel’s Boy.   And what a compliment.

Archangel Uriel’s name means “God’s light.”   As you may have surmised, he comes in a pure, yellow gold light and resonates with the “stone” of amber.  I like to call Uriel the Archangel of Epiphany as his purpose is to illuminate hard situations, to be a lantern on our way, and bring us brilliant new ideas.   He resonates with the clair of claircognizance, which happens also be my primary gift; perhaps another reason I resonate so strongly with him.   He also helps out with divine magic, the ability to manifest things from thin air, writing, and (I’ve always thought oddly) the weather.

When I asked my friend and “sponsor” Uriel for a message for our readers, it was very clear and concise.   Uriel told me that this is a time where things begin to break free.   The hold on forward movement that was partially caused by Jupiter being in retrograde, ended in mid-October.  Expansiveness now begins to bloom again.

Hard work done on an important project or to enact changes in our life now starts to pay off.  We should be looking for any weaknesses in our preparations that would keep them from soaring and correct those.   New opportunities or interests in material matters (money, health, exercise, food, building something physical) show up.  Out of the blue, we discover or are gifted with the raw materials necessary to move forward.   We start to become conscious of the physical or material potentials available to us, both in our bodies and in the world around us.

We must be careful of indecision.   This is the time to make choices, and more importantly to act.   Planning is over.  It’s time to get our hands dirty and really jump into manifesting our dreams.

Archangel Uriel also encourages us not to accept the world as it is, but to visualize it the way we want it to be.   This reality not working out so good for you?  Then create the one you want.

From an Archangel known for ideas, this is a VERY “doing” message.   Uriel says that we’ve planned.  We’ve nurtured.  We’ve set things up as perfectly as we can.   But we cannot think our dreams forever without taking action on them.

Now is the time to dive headlong into the dream.   And with Uriel’s help, to make it come true.

Archangel Uriel A Meditation Of Forgiveness

by Kathleen Peterson

I was working with Archangel Uriel today and asking for help to forgive a family member for hurtful behavior towards me. Archangel Uriel is my “go to” Archangel when I’m working on forgiveness. While asking for help with this I realized that I had to forgive myself, for what I perceived as a failure to speak up for myself in this situation. Archangel Uriel surrounded me in the most beautiful light energy and gave me this meditation to use and share with everyone. After doing the meditation I felt immediate relief, so thank you again, Archangel Uriel.

Here is the meditation:

My Dear Light Beings,

Today I bring you a short meditation to use when you feel the need to forgive yourself or others. As you all know forgiveness is about changing the energy for you and releasing all the heaviness, anger and hurt that you experience every time you relive an incident or think about a specific person. So I want to help you reach a place within yourself that is neutral about both the experience and/or the individual. For when your emotions are neutral they have no impact on you.

Get into a comfortable position in a quiet place or you can do this while you are in nature. Close your eyes. Take a deep breath and as you breathe in count to 5 now hold your breath for the count of 2 and then release your breath for a count of 5. Do this 2 more times. Now see yourself surrounded by a beautiful light. This light can be any color, just know that I am helping surround you in this light. You will feel my energy as you see the color. Now allow the color to infuse your energetic body, your physical body, your mental body and your spiritual body.

As you allow this to light to envelop and infuse you, you will begin to see sparkles of light sweep through all your bodies. Just allow this to happen. I am with you all the way. While this is happening you will see or hear names and sense incidents that have impacted you in a negative way. Acknowledge them and the allow one of the sparkles of light to enfold them. As each incident or name is touched by the sparkle of light they disappear. Take your time with this there is no hurry.

When you feel that this is complete you will see a light glowing from your heart. The sparkling lights seem to be attaching to the heart light and helping it to expand. As this happens you may hear the words I forgive everyone and everything now. I especially forgive myself for any perceived errors in thinking or behavior. I release all dense energy I have held onto, even if I haven’t been aware of it.

As you allow yourself to forgive and release the light from your heart center now fills your being and expands out into the space you are in. While you are expanding your heart light I am taking the colored energy that had surrounded you and bringing it into the cosmos to be transformed into light and love.

Now sit in this beautiful heart light and know that you have released and forgiven and you are now in a place of peace. I now surround you in a light shield of protection. You may call on me at any time to help release unforgiveness. You are a Divine light and the more you can release unforgiveness, the more you will realize how wonderful you are.

I send you love and know that this is done. Go forth with a light heart and see yourself as I see you, a beautiful bright light of peace and love.

With Love, Archangel Uriel

BEST GAME, EVER!

by Erica Longdon

A new year.  A new beginning. And to kick things off, you have been given a fabulous new interactive game to play. It’s state of the art. I can promise you, your computer has never had a game like this.   You’re going to create a whole new world.  What will you create?  What advice will you give to your creations?  Gabriel is the Archangel who takes care of newborns.  What will your new-born world be like?

Will you have mountains?   Snow?   Sunshine?  Rainfall?  Wind?   Will you have the same weather all over your planet?  Or will your winds blow changes and seasons to help your players appreciate what they have and learn to cherish the differences and the lessons?  As a loving creator how will you guide your creations?   Will you berate, scold and destroy them if they make mistakes?  If you do everything for them, will they learn anything?  If you do nothing will they survive?   How about giving them a game plan, and a map to find guides and tools when they need them?

Now here’s the twist that puts this game into a different league.  It’s real.  It’s your world.  It’s your life.  No one else can live this life like you.  You are responsible for your every thought. You create. You choose how things will be.  You cannot choose how other people will be, that’s their game. So butt out.   Your unique power  is that you can always choose how you react to what is around you.  If you get lost you can always ask for help.   Those are the ground rules.

So let’s play  Take the controls and zoom out right now.  Get the big picture to start at level one. See yourself as your high self sees you. A beautiful soul just trying to do the best you can with what you currently know, right now,  at the start of this new year.  You dropped onto the scene with a unique game plan.  How are you doing?   Are your new year resolutions encouraging, or founded on self criticism?  I have over indulged.  I am fat, therefore I resolve to diet or go down the gym.  How many times have you done that one!  How many weeks or months before your resolve ebbed away and you berated yourself for failing? Again.  Try it from a higher point of view.  How about:  I love, accept and approve of myself just as I AM right now?   I AM willing to change.   I AM willing to release the need to carry excess weight.  Where does that need come from?   How does that feel?  Ok, let’s move to the next area.

Did you think or say things over the holiday season that you wish you hadn’t?  Were there things you wish you had said, but didn’t?  From your higher self perspective, hit the replay button.   Watch the scenes play out again.  You can rewind, pause.  You even have a “behind the scenes” option.   What’s going on in your world?  What triggered that conflict and harsh words?   What blocked you from saying what you need?  Stuck?   This is where you get your first bonus.  Call in an Archangel.   Call on Archangel Michael to cut cords between you and someone with whom you’re playing “pass the parcel of blame and recrimination”.  Their stuff is their stuff. Your stuff is your stuff.   You don’t have to keep dealing with it.  Forgive them, forgive yourself. Let it go. Keep the lesson as a tool to use as you move forward in the game.  Call on Archangel Gabriel to help you with communication.   It is OK to lovingly speak your truth.   You deserve love.  Surround the scene with a bubble of love, and let’s move on again.

Ok.  So now you’re starting to get the hang of this game, let’s take it up a level.  Are you ready for a stage two challenge?  It’s easy to say those things from up on high.  Take the zoom control and put yourself back on your planet.  The planet you chose to incarnate onto, with the people you chose to help you with your progress through the levels.   Connect your feet right back into earth and look into the mirror of your life.  What is reflecting back at you?  This is where you collect the goodies for your life kit-bag that will help you on your journey.  Look right into that mirror, into your own eyes, and say out loud:  “I AM willing to love, accept and approve of myself, just as I AM, right now”.  Easy?  Tough? Keep working it, baby!    Now try:   ”I AM willing to change.  I AM willing to release…….    What is it that you are willing to release?   What bubbles up?

If it feels tough or uncomfortable you’re probably right on the button. Nobody said this game was easy.  What monsters are lurking in your depths?  Are you going to go in and fight with them and come out bruised and battered?  Or are you going to wise up, stand back, acknowledge them, and release them.  Once they come out into the light they’re not so scary.   Just frightened little ideas from your past that you’ve picked up and carried as you go along, that need to be loved better.

You know what?  You’re doing great!  Training wheels off, you’re going solo.  No need to rush, you’ve got the rest of your life to play.  Enjoy when you triumph, and don’t take the blind alleys and booby traps to heart.   They’re just there to help you take the right road. No more beating yourself up.  You have all you need inside you.  Your own divine spark of intelligence beyond compare.   People can walk with you, but no one can play your game for you. Be grateful for their company and love them for the lessons they give you.  And don’t forget you have a “Help” button whenever you need it.  Your guardian angel is standing by with free personal tuition whenever you need it.  24/7.  All you have to do is ask.

So on behalf of the Creator’s Angel Support Team (C.A.S.T. of millions) have a great day, year, decade, life.  We’re on call whenever you need us.   Love you!   Always.

The Angel of Promise and Good Tidings

by Tatiana Scavnicky

Archangel Gabriel hails as the famous angel who told Mary she would give birth to Jesus and to Elizabeth of the coming birth of John the Baptist. The name Gabriel means “God is my strength” and “hero of God.” The early Renaissance painter Fra Angelico  depicts Gabriel in The Annunciation as female. Later images of her are representatively more male. Angels don’t have gender yet we experience them as having more male or female qualities.

This powerful archangel brings news of forthcoming events and new experiences on their way to us. Gabriel’s other divine duty is helping expectant mothers through all phases of childbirth, adoption and motherhood.

As God’s messenger, Gabriel gives us courage to communicate and speak our truth peacefully, first to ourselves and then to others. She encourages us to take inventory of our lives. Are we living our truth? Have we put off things we really want to do?

It could be spending more time in nature or with family and friends. Gabriel also supports any career involving communicating spiritual messages including actors, writers, journalists, musicians, singers and people who work in television and radio. Is there a message you’ve been called to express? Sitting on a book of poetry or perhaps the bones of a theatrical play? Did you begin writing a book years ago and your secret dream still whispers “write me…record me?”

Call on Gabriel for birthing your project and for whatever it takes to bring it to culmination. Picture your CD in your hands! See the title of your movie on the big screen!   We get caught up in daily life…work, family and often our passions sit idling on the back burner and we leave them there. Gabriel asks “can you find a half hour to an hour to write?” How about devoting time every other Friday to your dream? Those heavenly delicious chocolate chip pecan cookies you absolutely love to bake for family and friends could be profitable business venture.

As we look at our lives under the shelter of Gabriel’s love and support, let’s bring light to career issues as well? How is your schedule flowing? Have you put off asking for a much deserved raise?  Gabriel will give you the words to speak your truth and confidently ask. Is there a career or cause you feel extremely passionate about? Reach out to this procrastination busting archangel to help provide the resources, time, and support needed to start your new venture. Nurture your passions and call on Gabriel to bring you the courage to move ahead. Now be fruitful and create!

What is Your Meditation Style? Yes, You Can Meditate!

by Eileen Smith

How can I be more psychic?
Meditate.
How can I hear my angels and guides better?
Meditate.
How can do I know I’m making the right choice?
Meditate.
How can I heal my past and boost my self esteem?
Meditate.
How do I (fill in the blank)?
Meditate.

Throughout my experience as a teacher and healer, one of the answers to many of life’s questions and goals can be found in meditation. And invariably, one of the answers I receive back is that people don’t know how to, or can’t meditate.

Meditation is one of the major keys to probably everything we would like to create in out life. People want the quick, the easy. But meditation can be both of those things once you throw out the “shoulds” in your expectations of it and find out what works for you. I think a large part of the reason people don’t meditate is the misconception of what it is. Many people have the misconception that you must set aside long periods of time in order for it to be beneficial.

Many have visions of a person sitting in a sparse monk like room, in the lotus position with empty minds. For most of us in this modern world, this is a rarely attainable situation and certainly hard to incorporate into a daily regime. Effective meditation is, and will be different for each person.

It is has been said, “Prayer is talking to God, meditation is listening to God”, and I would agree with that. Keeping that in mind, whichever way creates a space within your day, within your being that allows you to achieve that state of focus, is meditation and is effective. Be it for 5 minutes or 60. Do what you can! If you can’t do it everyday, it’s okay.So many people feel guilt if they don’t mediate, the “all or nothing” approuch and create unrealistic expectations for it to be a part of their life.

Also remembering everyone is wired differently and so whatever works for you, is what works for you! Don’t compare yourself to others in regards to meditation. For example, some people need quiet to meditate; some people need the room to be dark. Others like the sun, others need music. What brings you to a higher space? To YOUR particular sacred place inside your head?

For example, it is easier for me to meditate with music, but when I first began meditating, I learned to do so with guided tapes. I began mediating in my late teens when I discovered Richard Sutphen’s tapes.

His guided journeys basically taught me, a beginner, how the process took place, how it felt. Richard (Dick) Sutphen is one of the pioneers of the New Age in my personal opinion. One of it’s movers and shakers and I am proud to have learned from him. I always tell my students and clients that his tapes were instrumental in starting me on the path I am walking today. You can check out his site here: http://www.dicksutphen.com. I will soon be making guided meditations for download here on my site, so sign up for the newsletter to keep an eye out for that.

Some people have trouble visualizing, others have trouble with the intruding thoughts. If your not visual, that is okay, allow a sense of what the guided journey is taking you, If your mind won’t stop thinking about the tasks and conversations that are in your day, hearing someone else’s voice in a guided meditation may help you. The voice inside your head that keeps thinking about the phone calls you need to make, etc, we all have it. Some of my students find it helpful if you acknowledge it, let it know you received the message and will remember it later, it can quiet it. Or keep a piece of paper nearby and write down the message the voice wants you to hear so you can go back to meditating.

Keep in mind that walking and other activities that are rhythmic and healthful can create a meditative place within you. Swimming, dancing, walking. I have had some of my best “listening to Spirit” meditative moments walking in nature. I live by a park with trails that allow me my strong connection to the Earth and Nature Kingdom to renew me in body, mind and spirit.

Yoga is also meditative for people. Part of it’s life changing effects for those who do it often is this meditative state it creates. So you see, it simply is a matter of finding what works for you. Throw away the false assumptions, comparisons and expectations. Don’t be hard on yourself, enjoy it.

Explore your style of meditation and start listening.
