April Message

Being Breathed

Reading the words of angels can have an uplifting, transformative influence upon our lives because angels are positive forms of energy. Angels exist continuously in peace, so peace is what they share with us. As human beings, we also share our state of being constantly. The only thing we really have to share with anyone is our own state of being.

When you know that you can trust ourself, then, like angels, you live continuously in peace. Trusting yourself does not mean trusting that nothing “bad” will ever happen to you or someone you love. The world is an insecure place, remember?—at least when viewed through the eyes of ego.

Self-trust means knowing how to take care of yourself—in dark times, light time, in all times. Knowing how to ask for help when you need it. Knowing how to sit still and bring your focus to God. Knowing how to take a walk and still your inner agitation. Knowing how to treat other people with loving compassion. Knowing how to say you are sorry when you intrude unkindly into someone else’s space. Knowing how to forgive yourself. Knowing how to turn over to God that which is too big for you to handle. Knowing how to choose healthy food that will nourish and sustain your life. Most importantly, knowing how to be loving, kind, and patient with yourself as you walk your path to wholeness.

Today let us begin with breath. Breath is the most vital substance in the physical universe. At birth breath flows into your body and at death breath flows out. Breath knows to do this—because breath is divinely intelligent, intuitive, and creative.

Until the last moment, you can trust breath to flow in and flow out. You do not have to do anything to make this happen. Even when you sleep, breath functions. The amazing act of breathing happens completely on its own, with no effort from us.

Breath flows in. Breath flows out. Be still and focus upon the breath that gives and sustains your life. Inhale and feel breath nourish and fill you. Exhale and feel tension flow out. Bathe in the joy of effortless breathing. Let yourself experience gratitude for the clear and simple act of breathing. Everything loves gratitude. Gratitude is a most amazing force. Even breath loves gratitude. Breathe in gratitude. Breathe out gratitude.

Throughout your day, if you notice that you are tense, frightened, or angry, bring your focus to breath. Let breath slow and deepen. When breath is harmonized, so are you. Then you are one step closer to self-trust. You trust breath. You trust that peace is only a breath away. Breathing. Being breathed.

This month the angels invite you to focus on the simple act of breathing. Bring your attention to your breath whenever you are tense, agitated, or sad. Consciously focus on harmonizing your breath. Let yourself breathe out tension and breathe in peace.

You may like to join a yoga class to learn new ways of breathing. If you are not already doing so, you may like to engage in some form of aerobic activity to get more oxygen into your body and brain. In most places, it is spring now—a perfect time to ride a bicycle or take a long hike. A perfect time to go outside and take big breaths of air, all the way to your toes. A perfect time to open your arms wide and invite light and wellness into your being. A perfect time to notice how breath just happens. A perfect time to notice that you can trust breath to happen.

The angels thank you for allowing them to serve you as it is in serving humans that they serve God. Please go with love on your path.
