Connecting to your Joy and Happiness

Channeled Message from the High Council of Orion 12 April 2013 

Greetings, Dear Ones. We are the High Council of Orion. We’re here to speak to you today about a topic we’ve spoken about many times before, and that is of happiness. Many on the planet right now are wondering where happiness has gone, for they are feeling too much stress and strain and discomfort and uncertainty. 

We would like to share with you more about reconnecting with your natural buoyant, ebullient state of internal happiness. Not from a false or externalized point of view, but from one of tapping into the deep resources of your inherent nature of joy, which expresses itself outwardly as happiness. 

Simply put, what we will say today is, if you watch young children playing with abandon, skipping, singing, lost in their own world, and you tap into and allow yourself to see them, through the eyes of your memory of when life was as simple as being fully present in your moment, where you too could skip and play, and sing to yourself and talk to yourself with un-self-conscious abandon. 

Those days were pure and joyful, for you were still fully connected with your inherent state of joy, and so what we ask you to do, as we’ve said before, is use the models of the things around you on the planet. If you are struggling with accessing joy and happiness in your life, go sit at a park and watch children play. Just allow yourself to energetically feel connected to them, and feel the joy they express as they run, as they swing on the swing, as they slide, as they meet new accomplishments, as they build a sand castle, that from an adult point of view might be slightly average, and yet their squeals of joy and enthusiasm are infectious. 

Re-connect with that energy of joy also through the animals that you have around you, if you watch dogs for example. They have a natural joy and enthusiasm that they love to share with others, they easily get fully immersed in what they are doing and experiencing, and can play ball for hours with that again wild abandon of being fully present in the moment and experiencing it. There are no worries that slow the dog down to wonder if dinner will be on the table. For it is fully engaged in the moment, just as the children are as they express their joy. 

From this place of wanting to connect with joy and happiness in the moment you connect with that fountain of unbridled energy that comes flowing into you from the universe. 

Living in the now is the place where the joy and happiness can reside, for as you are fully present to yourself in the moment connecting into your heart, you open up the pathway for the Creator energy to flow into you. For if your mind is cluttered with worry and concern, with fear and constriction and with uncertainty, it creates, if you will, a block to that natural flow. 

Does that mean live in a state of denying what might be reality in your life? Absolutely, no! But what we suggest is, in moments whenever you can, you allow yourself to set the worries aside, place them on the shelf to rest for just a few minutes, and come fully present to yourself, and allow that present moment awareness to connect in with any thought or feeling that brings you joy. 

So, that takes going to the park to watch the children and just be lost in the moment of seeing their joy. Then, we suggest, you do it. If it takes going to another park in watching the dogs play, and seeing how engrossed they can be in the moment and for some for many moments on end, with the utter abandonment of who they are to the joy of the moment, through the running, through the playing, through the chasing. 

Allow yourself those moments every day, regardless of what’s going on in your life, to just connect with the feeling of joy by setting aside the worries, allow that flow from the universe to come down into you, and as you connect through your heart with that feeling of joy, of happiness, even if it is for 30 seconds or two minutes or five minutes, it shifts your inherent resonance to allow more of that in. 

It keeps the gateways open a little bit more, if you will, and as you practice you might find yourself seeing and observing more joy, perhaps allowing things that might have brought on more frustration to just slide off you, and not bother you as much. For you are shifting your baseline resonance, as you connect with those moments of joy, allowing the joy and the happiness to seep in and become more embedded in your inherent resonance. There is much to be joyful for, regardless of what’s going on around you in your world. 

We ask you to pay attention to the things that bring you joy and literally do not pay attention to the things that do not. If you get sad and worried about the state of affairs in the world, because you need to listen to, or watch the news every day, we would suggest that you don’t. For ultimately the greatest place of power, the greatest place of change in your life in your world happens with you and many of you know this, but it requires taking different steps and different actions to bring about those different results. 

We encourage you each in the next week to spend that time connecting with joy, seeking it out, looking for it, being on the treasure hunt of finding expressions of joy, and maybe it’s just because you witnessed some people having a positive exchange and each person smiling. Perhaps it’s because you witness a parent lovingly hugging their child, allow the warmth and the good feelings to seep inside, and connect with that more than you connect with the things that might make you feel less than joyful. 

Be Blessed. 

We are the High Council of Orion.

…A Short Period of Turmoil followed by a Forever of Happiness

Message from Archangel Michael for 16 April 2012 via Ron Head

Source: http://oraclesandhealers.wordpress.com

We are heartened to see the understanding of the overall message of all of our channels spreading far and wide among all those who follow them. Angelics, Masters, and Star Brothers have all been giving you the same basic information; and, as expected, it has been readily and hungrily absorbed. 


This, along with your rapid raising of your vibrational signatures, is bringing the date of your release from the old paradigm closer. Truly, you have not much longer to wait before the changes which are already proceeding begin to be obvious to everyone. So much that needs to happen will have to happen so quickly that you may feel as if your heads are spinning. We would hope that to be a joyful and not a stressful thing. So much depends upon your ability to maintain calm among your friends and neighbors. Exuberance and joy are fine. It is the inevitable fears of many that could cause problems. But exuberance and joy are contagious, you know. Please feel free to exhibit them to your heart’s content. 


The same applies to all of the things, which will be going on this summer. You will have much support in this. There will be constant broadcasts explaining what is going on.  But fear is a drug that has been supplied for many thousands of years and will be a hard habit to break for some. We bring its antidote with us, love and joy. We recommend liberal dosage daily. 


Your lives are about to see a short period of turmoil followed by a forever of happiness.  Those who are able to define their dreams well will be amazed at the results of their efforts.  And there is a saying you have which will apply neatly, “A rising tide raises all boats.”  That is the function of Lightworkers and Wayshowers after all.  You will be, as always, the lamp burning in the corner.  Continue to raise your brightness now, for soon your Light will be needed more than ever. 


We hold you in our Love and Protection now, as always, and continue to cheer you onward. Take my sword of Truth now and use it with Love to bring the Light to your world.  Until tomorrow, dear friends.

Opening the Door to Your Own Divinity

By Archangel Michael

Welcome! & Greetings! My Beautiful Beings of Light. Meeting again, it is always such a pleasure to have you stop by and read the messages. Each person’s Higher Self perks up each month, as you return and select the message you are drawn to read. 


I bet you didn’t realize that you were touching base with your Higher Self by checking in for the messages, but you truly are, My Beloveds. It brings such joy to your Higher Selves to see that you are indeed remembering that there is more to you than this human form that is playing a part on the Earth Plane stage. 


The Creator is also involved when you check in for messages each month. Your visit just beams your presence in the Higher Realms as you read. Surprisingly, but so true, that your desire to learn more and work more towards that remembrance of Who You Truly Are is such a monumental thing, but it really really is. 


The Creator is sharing an Etheric Cyber Hug with you right now. Close your eyes and just allow that Hug to wash right over you. That Hug is always available for you each time you think of this very moment and remember. 


Opening the door to your own Divinity is not hard, My Beautiful Beings of Grace. You have opened this door and returned HOME time and time again. Keeping yourselves really clear of all the debris that has accumulated in your Energy Fields is really a big start towards opening that channel of communication again. 


Not only does the clearance of debris keep you balanced and in harmony, but it also allows the Higher Communications to more easily reach your Spiritual Ears. Opening the door to your own Divinity is like opening the door into Spring. 


The easiest way, My Beloveds, to keep yourselves clear of debris is to call in your Angels and Spirit Guides and ask for their assistance. Simply invite them in (mentally or verbally, just ask for your Angels and Spirit Guides presence) and say to them “Please Clear Me NOW, Thank You, And So It Is”. 


This Clearing, My Beloved, can be done for you, your computer, your house, your car etc. It is that simply and that easy. Give it a try now, it can be done anywhere during any time of the day. It is suggested that you do this at night before going to sleep. After all, why drag all that stuff into your dreams. 


Allow this Messenger to take you on a mediation journey to practice clearing and enjoying the connection of debris free communications with your Spiritual Guidance. 


Arrange yourself in seated position or lie down so that you are comfortable. Keep your legs and arms from crossing if at all possible, as this blocks the flow of energy. Cover yourself with a light blanket if you chill easily. We want you comfortable and undisturbed for a while as you journey within yourself through meditation. 


Close your eyes and take a comfortable deep breath, then comfortably exhale as hard as is possible. With each in breath, you are breathing in love and renewal. With each out breath, you are breathing out fear, frustration and doubt. Take another comfortable deep breath in and comfortably exhale; just letting all the stress go. Take another comfortable deep breath in and then just exhaling letting it all go with a sigh as you are breathing out all frustrations of the day. 


Feel your body relaxing from the top of your head down to your toes. Give yourself permission to feel the calm and peace. Your muscles are feeling loose and limp, so relaxed, so deliciously serene, so wonderfully lazy. 


Direct your ego self to perch on your left shoulder. Instruct your ego self that it is only to be an observer on this journey, it is not to participate. If it helps you to visualize your ego self by identifying it as a symbol or as an object please do so. 


In your imagination ask through prayer for The Creator to send you down a protective Ray of White Light by praying mentally something like this “My Creator I AM asking for a protective Ray of White Light to enfold me and lift me up so that I am experiencing the very highest of vibrations during this journey into my innermost depths of understanding and Being. I am protecting myself, My Creator, from anything that is not for my highest good on this journey. I am thanking you in advance My Creator for assisting me by sending this Ray. I am visualizing the ray in my imagination now coming down through the corner of the area where I am meditating. It is entering into my physical form, permeating all that is within my I AM presence.” 


The Creator has responded to your prayer and has gifted you with an Iridescent White Ray plus a Soft Lavender and One Golden Fluid Rays for this journey. The Rays are entering into your body through the soles of your feet and moving up through your physical vessel; permeating throughout all of your etheric energy fields & physical vessel and into all corners of the actual area that you are meditating in. The rays then are exiting through your Crown Chakra. The Rays are returning to The Creator and cycling back down through you again and back to The Creator in a continuous circular loop. These protective therapeutic rays are in a continuous circular motion while you are in meditation. 


You are now divinely protected at this moment and nothing can even communicate with you that is not for your highest good, without your permission. 


My Divine Beings of Light, you are breathing very slowly and evenly now; you are feeling secure and safe. 


Breathe in deeply, My Beautiful Beings of Light, and feel the lighter relaxed feelings of being protected & divinely guided into this meditation. Breathe in deeply and know that you are breathing to the Pulse of The Creator. Listen to The Creator’s spiritual heart beat and feel the unconditional love that courses through you each time you think about this moment. 


Breathe in deeply allowing and seeing within your spiritual imagination your Guardian Angels and invited Spirit Guides as they join you now. The Angels take your etheric essence hands and guide you out of your physical body. The Angels then direct you into your Etheric Spiritual Heart Chakra. An Angel has been stationed to stay with your physical essence until you return from your meditation journey. 


You are seeing, feeling and sensing this within your imagination. Your Guardian Angels, Spirit Guides and special invited guests are with you now within your Spiritual Heart Chakra. Your Angels and Guides are helping you locate the Golden Door that says “To My Highest Guidance Within”. You have located the Golden Door and now you turn the etheric spiritual door knob, opening the door as you cross over the threshold knowing that you are on a spiritual growth adventure. 


You find yourself in a White Marble Corridor. Your Angels hand you a broom and whisk you down the hall to the eighteenth door to your right. The door label reads “Your Divinity”. You open the door and walk over the threshold only to find that this is yet again a corridor, but you can see another door down the way. 


You laugh as this is really becoming fun to see where all this is really leading to. You still have your broom in hand as you head down the corridor to open the other door. You reach the door and open it and there before you is a meadow with your own Crystal Palace mountain right there in front of you. 


You walk out into the meadow and see a chair lift going up the side of the mountain. WOW! You tell yourself, this is new, you’ve never seen this chair lift before. Your Angels and Guides just roll with laughter as you keep being surprised at new innovations and additions to your very own Crystal Palace complex. 


You Angels do tell you that you do keep expanding, growing and moving forward, you are never stagnate. They point to the construction scaffolds next to your Crystal Palace and the new wings that seem to be going up in several locations around the Palace exterior. 


You hop onto the chair lift and away you go up the side of the mountain. There at the top and ready to help you off the chair lift, is your good friend, Jake the white Unicorn. Jake is beaming at the opportunity to help you off this new lift addition. Jake greets you warmly and fills you in on other improvements in the Garden of Serenity as you walk on down the path. Jake reminds you to come back often and spend some time there enjoying all the new additions. 


You smile at Jake and scratch his silky ears as you walk and talk at the same time. On the path to the Crystal Palace Jake is pointing out some new flowers that have appeared and are blooming in your honor today. 


You have arrived at the golden door to the Crystal Palace and Jake tells you that he will wait for you here. You walk up the three steps to the golden door with your name on it. You are remembering that this door also contains all the other names that you have ever held since being Birthed into the Omniverse. Just for fun you have a look at the door to see if there are any of the other names that you can see, other than the one you current hold in this incarnation. You also remember that this will only come as you are ready for the information and will be presented again, if you are not quite ready to see them yet. Remember, the names can be in other languages, color, light, sound, or symbols as well. 


You open the golden door and walk into the entrance corridor. You welcome all of your wonderful friends, the Colored Circles, on the floor, that are being created by the refracted light coming from the crystal spires above. You walk and stand in those colors that you are drawn to and receive their messages for you today. 


Your Angels are telling you to come along and you follow them to turning the left into the Grand Round room. There to your immediate right you are seeing the room where there is a pool and that is where the Angels are directly you at this time. However, they are now asking you to stop before entering this room. They ask you to hand them the broom that you have been carrying with you all this time. 


The Angels request that you pull off your shoes as the space you are going to be entering is sacred. You realize when they say sacred that there will be someone else joining you. The Angels take the broom and then begin clearing all the debris from all of your Energy Fields. They next take a special Angelic vacuum cleaner and finish the job. The broom is then vaporized as it contains all the debris that has been removed. The vaporized junk is then re-qualified back into Divine Love, Light and Grace. 


After they have finished clearing, you kind of wiggle around and notice that you feel so much lighter and much more balanced and in harmony. The Angels smile and say that this will certainly help you feel better along with helping you maintain your Spiritual grounding. ***You open the door and walk into the room with the pool. The windows around the room are a bit steamy and have a rather unusual rainbow reflection coming from the steam droplets. The Angels guide you to walk into the pool. They tell you that your pants legs won’t even get wet, so don’t worry about your clothing at this juncture. 


You do as guided and notice as you begin walking that another Being is coming towards you in the pool. This Sacred Being is brilliant and glowing and is carrying something in Its hands. The Angels tell you that this is a special gift for you. 


You reach the Being and feel this most glorious feeling of being wrapped in pure love. The feelings are so strong that they bring tears of great joy rolling down your cheeks. You know this feeling so well and begin trying to place it in your own remembrance bank. The Being relates that it is the Christ Consciousness and you have always known each other. 


The Christ Consciousness takes Its hand and places it on your Heart Chakra. Then the Christ Consciousness take the key that It has been holding and places it into an invisible Spiritual Lock in your Heart Chakra, then turns the key. As the key is turned and the Spiritual door is opened you are given a picture of a brilliant Spring Morning bursting forth in front of you. You see the sacred flowers from the sacred garden, the white doors on either side wide open as a glorious white butterfly greets you. You then move into this sacred garden and walk with the butterfly feeling the awakening and remembrance of your own initial Birth into Creation. Your song begins to waft through the garden as you walk and you are greeted by The Creator, Itself, with a wonderful Hug and “Welcome Home My Child.” “It is time for you to remember and awaken the connection that is your true Birthright. This is where you belong for all eternity and this is where you always reside, even when you are in a lifetime in other dimensions. 

You are My Child and I love you. 

You are sacred and part of this sacred place. Please give yourself permission to accept this knowledge and return with it into your current incarnation. You are so dearly loved and your assistance and actions during these very difficult times on the Earth Plane is very much appreciated. Thank You for accepting the assignment and we look forward to your completion, My Child. Be at peace and know without a doubt that we are always with you, even in the darkest moments. “The Creator hugs you and you just cling to each other for a while. Then you know it is time to return to do your work. You disengage from The Creator reluctantly. 


You find yourself back in the middle of the pool and the Christ Consciousness is hugging you and saying “Until next time”. The Christ Consciousness turns and walks back into the mist. 


You are feeling so loved and electrified with having all of the Higher Frequency energies following through you. You turn and walk back out of the pool. You look down at your pants and the Angels were right they are not even wet. 


The Angels tell you how much you are glowing and you feel like you are glowing. You can’t believe how wonderful you feel as you leave the room and follow the Angels back into the entrance corridor. 


You say good bye to the Colored Circles and go back out the golden door. You see Jake there waiting on you. Jake comments on how much you are glowing and how good that glow looks on you. 


Smiling and thanking Jake you walk on down the path and back to the new chair lift. Jake helps you back into the chair lift. You watch the scenery around you as you descend back to the door that you came through. You walk back down the little corridor and back through the door labeled “Your Divinity”. 


You instantly find yourself back in the White Marble Corridor. You catch a glimpse of your beaming glowing Essence in the mirror. Your Angels lead you back across the threshold of the Golden Door Within, back into your Spiritual Heart Chakra and then they assist the return of your spiritual Essence back into your physical form. 


Take a deep breath to help you reorient as you wiggle your fingers and toes. When you are ready open your eyes. Go about your day remembering that your Inner Higher Wisdom and Angelic support staff are always at your service working with you to help you reach your highest most appropriate potential. Listen for those first thoughts that pop into your awareness and know without a shadow of a doubt that you are receiving daily spiritual guidance. 


Beloveds you are blessed beyond words and loved beyond measure, more than any Earth Plane language can ever express. 


I Am Archangel Michael, The Creator’s Messenger, of Love, Joy, Wisdom, Light, Peace and Grace.

Mastery of the Mind

By Lucy Lidell 

The mind is like a lake, its surface broken by ripples of thought. In order to see the Self which lies beneath, first you must learn to still these ripples, to become the master of your mind rather than its servant. For most of your waking hours the mind is tossed from one thought to another, pulled by desires and aversions, by emotions and memories, both pleasant and unpleasant. Of all the forces that agitate the mind, it is the senses that most often disturb the concentration, giving rise to fantasies and desires. A well-loved tune in the radio sends the mind racing to the time you heard it first, while a tempting smell or a sudden cold draught can shatter your train of thought. Of all the senses, sight and hearing are the most powerful, endlessly drawing the mind outward and wasting valuable mental energy. For this reason meditation uses either sounds (Mantras) or images (Yantras and Mandalas). 


The mind is by nature constantly searching for happiness, vainly hoping to find satisfaction once it attains what it desires. On acquiring the desired object, the mind is temporarily silenced, but after a short while the whole pattern starts again, because the mind itself remains unchanged and the true desire unfulfilled. Imagine, for example, that you out and buy a new car. For some time you feel proud and satisfied – the mind is at rest. But soon you start hankering after a new model or a different color, or worrying about it getting stolen or hit. What began as a pleasure has become yet another source of discontent, for in stilling one desire, many others are created. 


Yoga teaches us that we possess a source of joy and wisdom already inside us, a fund of tranquility that we can perceive and draw nourishment from when the movement of the mind is still. If we can channel this desire for contentment inward instead of attaching it to external objects that are by nature ephemeral, we can discover how to live in peace.

Playing is a major part of the human life experience

Faerie Realms ~ 12 December 2011

Dear ones we come to play and to ask when you last played? For the way of illusion is to take that which elevates your vibration and hide it in full view yet make you blind to it. We ask where the magic has gone and we guide that you have lost your way. For the way of children is to play and to laugh and to BE, yet the way of adults is to concentrate and to work and to work and have no play. This will lower the vibration you hold and keep you from that which your heart desires, so lost in work and lower density emotions. For adults do not play like children play and it saddens us. For we are the Faerie Realms and we come to guide and support all as all begins to change and to move for all across the planet earth. 


Where once we heard laughter now we hear silence and we are concerned that the life of adult humans is one of trudge and more trudge. The festive season is upon us and yet many are now more in despair than ever before. We are here to move you through the illusion of consuming and to show you the joy and laughter of BEing that exists below all the tinsel and the false gods. For your god is not one that tells you to purchase and work and purchase. Your god is your Higher Self who knows you inside out. Connect with the Higher Self, move into the heart and sing dear ones for the heightening of vibration will see soar and you will fly high in the sky. Such is the vibration of fun and laughter and that is why illusion teaches you not to laugh but to cry. For many would fly should they find their inner child and laugh and play as they did when little. 


We are the Faerie Realms and we walk with you each step of this your human life journey, a journey for many that is turning into a dark trudge along a dark highway filled with ghosts of the past and ghosts of the future, for you create dear ones and we are here to put the stardust back into your creations. For how can you create if you do not dream, how can you dream if you do wish and how can you wish if you do not play. For playing is a major part of the human life experience. If it was not so, then why would your children do this automatically? Look to the children around you for clues of how to move through the festive season. Detach from the consuming and the perfect and look to self, move to the heart and feel the joy in the turning of the seasons, for much is to be found by journeying inwards. How can you know what the heart sings if you do not listen? 


If you do not run and skip how do you know what lightness of BEing is? If you do not take time to BE, how do you know who you are? For many are now lost in the confusion of what the festive season is and should be and many are now trudging down a dark highway convinced that all is lost. Allow us to brighten your path for it costs nothing to smile and to laugh but everything to those around you. For where you have lightness of walking, where you have lightness of Being, you have joy and that is worth its weight in gold. For joy will see you light up the life of another human and that human will then light up the life of another and so on, the beacon of light that you search for is within you dear ones, so focused on the darkness in front of you, you fail to see that which is within you. 


For illusion has turned the lights off, so sure that all those who walk within it will have forgotten how to turn the lights back on. Do you remember? Do you remember dear ones the light that shines brightly within you? It is to be found in your heart, for your heart was seeded with TRUTH and that TRUTH shines brightly out into the world. Look not to the physical but to the emotional, for joy is found in FEELing and not in consuming. 


Many are now beginning to see the light dimly and we guide strongly that the faintest light be concentrated on, for the shadows recede even in the darkness night. Many are now struggling to see that which is in plain view, so hidden are the talents and gifts that they cannot see, for darkness has wrapped veils so tightly around them, they are both blind and deaf to TRUTH. The true spirit of the festive season is LOVE, for that is the emotion that will free you from the veils of darkness. LOVE just IS dear ones. It is to be found all around you. It is in a child’s smile. It is the warm smile of a stranger walking past you, for in TRUTH there are no strangers, all are just reflections of Self. Where you see a frown, we guide for you to pour love and compassion through your BEing and place joy in the heart of your fellow humans. LOVE needs no batteries, needs no replacement parts for LOVE IS. It is the laughter of the child that wonders at the snowflakes, it is the warmth of an open fire when you step in from the cold outside. It is the KNOWING that you are loved and that you are you. For all are loved, more so than they will ever know, for the heart is seeded with TRUTH and all realms send love and compassion across the planet. For mother earth is changing in vibration and this is reflected in the lives of her children. 


Where you see sorrow replace it with joy, where you find darkness replace it with light and do this each and every time. For many the road is a dark one with no map, yet the map to the future is within you. It is contained in the wishes and dreams that you harboured as a child and that illusion taught you to ignore. For all are one and all are blessed and all just are dear ones. Such is the teaching of illusion that many feel abandoned and let down. This is the illusion dear ones, for to give shelter to the teachings of illusion is to walk in darkness. 


For many our words will trigger as they are wrapped thickly in veils, yet within our words is the freedom that their soul cries out for. Those who feel they are in jail are in illusion, for freedom is here and it is within reach. To reach freedom we guide for you to become light as air, we guide for you to smile and to allow the joy that is to penetrate the coldness that has crept up on you. For illusion teaches cold and dark, where there should be lightness and joy. All changes and all moves and that which dissolves in your human life was never TRUTH. 


We are the Faerie Realms and we come to guide and to support and to show lightness of Being. For many who are triggered, we ask what harm there is in moving to laughter and to joy? Has illusion not worn you out with work and work and more work? Is there no change to being human that is not different? We ask for you to move into the heart, that is all. Illusion asks that you are perfect and that you conform. We know this is impossible, for humans are just that, HUMAN. No human is perfect and no human ever has to conform for each is unique and individual and that is all that is asked. We do not ask you to done capes for you are not superheroes. You are flesh and blood and we honour this. We ask that YOU honour YOU and that you pour love and compassion through your very being. For you have walked a long road and you have been taught you walk alone, we are here to show you that you have NEVER walked alone and we are here to walk with you as are all realms. 


Do not cry over what has been dear ones, cry for the joy of being alive, cry for the wonder that is front of you and cry for the ability to see TRUTH, for TRUTH anchored is freedom and all move towards that as we communicate. Each tear releasing the pain and trauma that illusion taught you to store. When released, lightness of being is felt, which can produce more tears. Laughter is at the end of the process, laughter and joy at being alive and being free. We guide all who are in pain to allow the healing to begin. Look at the world through the eyes of a child again. Where you find brick walls and rules, then allow them to dissolve. See the madness in the human condition that teaches that all must have “same”. Allow this to be shown to you for the illusion that it is. You cannot have “same” when all are different. 


All run fast, yet fail to realise what they run to, so sure that illusion is correct and that life is something to be endured. Life is what you create, and dear ones, life created with laughter is always lighter than life created from sorrow. The sorrow is taught by illusion as the default setting of human experience, we are here to guide you to TRUTH, for all is wonder, all is amazement, if you allow the veils to drop and TRUTH to be shown to you. 


We ask that you move into your heart and to radiate the LOVE that IS clearly across the planet, for the level of LOVE on planet earth is increasing from moment to moment as more and more humans realise TRUTH. Children are you. You are a reflection of them and they are a reflection of you. How bright and full of fun are your children? 


We are the Faerie Realms and you will find us out and about, we live in the trees, in the plants and we dance around you when you are in nature. For those who live in the cities we are found in the plants on the way to work and the plants in your offices, for we are the tinkling of the bells that you sweep past, we are the air that rushes to greet you and put the redness in your cheeks when out walking. We are the softly falling leaves that fall to the ground and crunch beneath your feet. For we are you and you are we, for all are one.

Yoga, the Path from Mortality to Immortality

Taken from Swami Sivananda's book "Practical Lesson In Yoga"

There is no such thing as inanimate matter. There is life in every thing. Life is involved in a piece of stone. Matter is vibrant with life. This has been conclusively proved by modern science. 


Smile with the flowers and the green grass. Play with the butterflies and the cobras. Shake hands with the shrubs, ferns and twigs. Talk to the rainbow, wind, stars and sun. Converse with the running brooks and the turbulent waves of the sea. Keep company with your walking stick and enjoy its sweet company. 


Develop friendship with all your neighbours, dogs, cats, cows, human beings, trees, in fact, with all nature’s creation. Then you will have a wide, perfect, rich, full life. Then you will realise God. Then you will achieve success in Yoga. This state can hardly be described in finite words. It should be felt and experienced by you by unfolding the divinity within.


This remarkable unfolding from the stone to the God goes on through millions of years, through aeons of time. But in the individual this unfolding takes place more rapidly and quickly with all the force of its past behind it. These forces that manifest and unveil themselves in evolution are cumulative in their power. Embodied in the stone, in the mineral world, they grow and put out a little more strength, and in the mineral world accomplish their unfolding. Then they become too strong for the mineral and press on into the vegetable world. There they unfold more and more of their divinity, until they become too mighty for the vegetable, and become animal. Expanding within and gaining experiences from the animal, they again overflow the limits of the animal and appear as the human. In the human being they still grow and accumulate with ever-increasing force, and exert greater pressure against the barrier, and then out of the human, they press into the superhuman. This last process of evolution is called Yoga. Therefore, when Yoga has definitely begun, is not something new, as is often imagined.


If you begin to view Yoga in this light, then this Yoga which looked so foreign and so strange, will appear to wear a familiar face, and come to you in a garb not altogether strange. It will not look so strange that from the man you should pass on to superman, from mortality to immortality, and enter a region where divinity becomes more manifest.


When you begin to learn that there is one Self in all these names and forms, that He is the same in a king or a peasant, in a bird or a beast, in a man or a woman, in a stone or a piece of wood, that all powers seen throughout the world are latent in “inorganic” substances also, that this Self is the same at all times, and that there is no increase or diminution in the Self, then Yoga will become possible of achievement.


In fact you have practised Yoga, consciously or unconsciously, in your previous births, and this is a vital point that should not be lost sight of. All that you have now to do is to give a powerful momentum to quicken the process of unfolding the divinity and attain the Highest Goal of Life - Perfection, Peace, Joy, Immortality and Happiness.
