INTRODUCING
Angela
A focus on Angela Goffe, centre manager of the forthcoming Halesowen Centre
My Journey My journey with In The Presence of Angels began in Nov 2005 when Jacqueline Phillips the Founder of this wonderful organisation came to me for a reading, shortly after the Sedgley centre opened and I began working from there. Having been attuned to Reiki I in 1998 and Reiki II a few years later I decided to repeat my I & II in the Ascension Reiki with Angelic Attunements of Light channelled by Jacqueline and went on to do Masters and Teacher levels in this wonderful system of Reiki. I then joined In The Presence of Angels as a member therapist in
July 2006 this has enabled me to continue on my journey of enlightenment with like minded friends and colleagues, who help and assist each other to grow and heal not only through our work but in every aspect of our lives as a whole. This wonderful organisation vibrates at such a high frequency and being part of it helps me to do the same. This summer I managed the Birmingham Living Soul Centere and completed my training as a Living Soul Therapy practitioner and a child and family therapist. In 2009 I shall be teaching this wonderful therapy as I embark on the next
part of my Journey as manager of the Living Soul Centre Halesowen. I have also stepped into my head office role as Endorsement and Assessment Coordinator in wihch I ensure all courses offered by In The Presence of Angels are of the highest vibration and quality. I and many others like me have joined In The Presence of Angels and it is through this unity that we are able to continue on our journey of enlightenment and ascension. Together we feel we can reach more people and assist them to live to their highest potential as we are.

A HIGHER PERSPECTIVE ON
Tarot Cards
by Angela Goffe
Our innate desire to develop to our full potential has led many of us to the tarot. For some of us it was the key that opened up our sixth sense for others the channel to develop our psychic gifts. Other paths open up as we embark on our healing journey and often we turn away from the tarot and our cards lie idle. Looking at the tarot as a tool for ascension brings a whole new energy to them, as they are used to gain knowledge about yourself.

The Angels have sent m
At the end of 2006 I was sitting in my treatment room and giving my thanks in meditation for the past year; I’m a great believer in showing gratitude as I believe it enhances the abundance energy and acts as a snowball effect. As I sat there in silence and sent up my thanks I awaited any instructions that God and my angels had for me. I expected to be told to do more work with children or breast cancer patients as that seemed to be the area I had been taken with my healing work. Instead of the expected response I was told “well done, we praise and thank you for your hard work. It will pay off next year (2007)”. This took me completely by surprise as I wasn’t looking for thanks; I was showing my gratitude for being shown ways that I may serve. Then I heard a message….very quietly … “You must go to Dubai! You need to take the light to Dubai”. You could have knocked me down with an angel’s feather. Dubai was not a place I ever intended to visit or even thought about. Why does it need more light? Surely not, it’s a place of wealth and it’s in the middle of the desert so why would it need more light?
I closed the meditation and sat for a few moments in total bemusement, trying to make sense of the message. I casually walked into our living room where my husband was watching TV and briefly told him what had happened. We have been together for 14 years and Wayne was used to my “strange” ways. “The angels want me to go to Dubai “I said. “That’s nice love” was my answer!! After more pondering I remembered that my friend Mary’s daughter Liz had recently moved to Dubai with her husband on a three-year work contract so I gave her a call. I had taught Mary Reiki a few years previously. She thought it was a wonderful message, we both wondered what, if anything, would happen next. Just before the conversation came to a close, we chatted about how amazing it was to have Reiki, angels and the loving guidance that they all bring when a sentence just poured out of my mouth. “When you speak to Liz, ask her if it’s worth me going over to Dubai to do some work there.” I knew this was a pure channelled message as there was no thought or intention , it just flowed out of my mouth. “Ok” Mary said ‘I’ll ring Liz tomorrow.”
The next evening, a very excited Mary called me “Alison you will never believe this but I’ve just spoken to Liz. She’s been to a Mind, Body, Spirit fayre today in Dubai and met someone who knows you! Can you believe it? This person came to you for healing and reading years ago. It helped her so much she decided to develop her gift and now she’s travelling round the UAE doing the MBS fayres.” I just love coincidences and synchronicity, little miracles popping up everywhere reminding you, you’re on the right track. I wasn’t overwhelmed by this new piece of information, I smiled knowing it was just another piece of the jigsaw starting to slot into place. Mary ended the conversation by saying “Liz said you must come to Dubai, they need you!” I was beginning to get the message! I relayed this new piece of the jigsaw to my husband, which then initiated a discussion about the possibility of me going to Dubai. We have two boys, who at the time were 10 and 15years years old. He said “if you got to go, then you’ve got to go!” He knew and understood my passion for my work and has always supported and encouraged me. So it was decided that yes I would go to Dubai.
me to Dubai!
by Alison Ward
I decided to share my story with her to ask her for help (I was also teaching myself to learn to receive) she had been in Dubai for 10 years and would know what I needed to do I’m sure. She took me totally by surprise and said she would set up a place for me to work from and would get me clients. It all sounded too good to be true but then I realised that
when you flow with life and the guidance that comes your way then life flows, without any blocks.
The icing was on the cake when Mary’s daughter Liz said I could stay at her apartment as they would be going on holiday for a few weeks.
Shortly after the inevitable self-doubt started to kick in. Who am I to go to Dubai? Why would they want me there? What have I got to give? Then I started to question the whole meditation experience. What if I made it all up?; maybe it was “my imagination”. Then I kicked myself into touch as I went into my heart and sat with these thoughts for a while. “Who are you not to go and shine your light?” I knew this was the truth, my truth and that I had to follow this truth as it would mean further enhancement of my journey thus far. When this self-doubting episode passed, I awaited more instructions and would meditate in anticipation of the next jigsaw piece. I was further told “there are many lost souls out there in need of the light, materialism has taken over from spirituality and the light has been blocked by greed.” I could feel the stirring up of new information coming. Then in the following four weeks, four people who live and work in Dubai sought me out for readings and spiritual guidance. Surely another sign from my angels and spiritual team. One of the clients kept in touch by email; giving me wonderful feedback. Her session had really made a difference to her.
It all sounded so perfect. We decided dates then just as I was about to book my airline ticket I was given a very loud and clear message that I was to take a Reiki Master student with me. I had been teaching Jayne for the last few months. She was showing signs of being a wonderful healer and a natural counsellor so I wasn’t surprised by the latest addition to the jigsaw. I was told that Jayne was to be “fast tracked” but wasn’t told why. So just before booking the tickets (I knew Jayne would come), I called her on her mobile and as there was no answer I left a message: “Hi Jayne, its Al here. I’m going to Dubai to do some work and was told that you need to come with me to take some light there. You are also to be fast tracked. Call me back because I need your details to book the tickets.” It must have sounded so casual. I always follow my guidance and I must admit I often expect others to follow theirs too, a bit presumptuous I know. I am human!!
tiful and everyone could see that we were genuine open hearted healers and gifted teachers. We were invited back In November, this time for two weeks. As Jayne and I sat in the airport lounge at Dubai airport, we reflected back on the whole experience, we couldn’t help but notice people who walked past us would stop and stare. Often turning back round to take another look. What could they see we asked? “Your light” was the answer, “they can see your light shine so brightly. Well done you have come far.” My angels were thanking us for our trip. They continued to pour their love in to my heart, this time I was receiving the love and gratitude! Bliss, pure bliss! The unanswered question was “why did Jayne have to be fast tracked?” We weren’t told why then, that was to come later, much later. So the light had been taken to Dubai and my goodness it was so needed. The people who live there constantly block out the light and glare from the desert sun; they drive round in blacked out cars with their air con full on. Homes and office blocks are the same, blacked out windows and full air con. When it’s really hot you see people run from their homes into the car hoping not to catch the heat of the sun. The light doesn’t stand a chance! Many of the ex-pats wouldn’t even use the beach; “it’s for tourists” so they would book in at the local salon for a fake bake tan!
Shortly after Jayne returned my call. “Aah!” she screamed ‘I’D LOVE TO…’ So that was how the trips to Dubai started. We went for a week in May 2007; a great success. We had a waiting list of people desperate to see us. What was so amazing and also so confirming for me was that everyone kept thanking us for bringing the light to Dubai! The words my angels and guides used in the original meditation. I was so overwhelmed with love and gratitude to God and my fellow angels for confirming this for me and also so grateful to myself for listening to and following the messages I was given. Jayne blossomed!! We both did. Together we created something so beau-
Next month I will tell you how Ascension Reiki was received in Dubai and how it was a lesson in women giving away their power, me included.

WHAT DOES YOUR LOGO SAY ABOUT YOUR COMPANY? Each month we bring you a well-known logo with a different perspective. Looking symbolically at a logo shows how that company is portraying itself to the subconscious, symbolic minds of its consumers. What is it saYing that it will do for them? Is it promising things that are left unfulfilled or is it just being irrelevant. We view each logo impartially, not thinking of the
company and it’s activities. We read it like a tarot card, just looking at the symbolism. We allow ourselves to be there, fully present with the logo and then see what effect its energy Has on us. If you would like a logo analysis like this for your company contact your local Living Soul Centre who can liaise with our designers or undertake the analysis themselves.
so we start with the big guns. it’s our first piece so we thought best to start with the big bad wolf, the destroyer of our health and of our freedom and of our lives. well, maybe that’s taking it a bit far, but it’s fair to say that mcdonalds doesn’t have the greatest reputation. SO is this reflected in IT’S logo and branding? let’s find out...
the golden arches spring to life and offer us an even more palatable treat than the eye-catching colour that preCeDeS them (the RED, THAT IS). LOOKING LIKE A HALO THAT HAS BEEN OPENED AT A HINGE TO GIVE IT STABILITY, THE GOLDEN ARCHES PUSH US TO A PLACE OF ACHEIVABLE DREAMS. EVERYTHING THAT WE ENVISAGE IN OUR PERFECT RED LIFESTYLE, THE ARCHES SAY THAT WE CAN HAVE, BUT AT A PRICE. THE PRICE OF LIVING YOUR CURRENT LIFE FIRST AND ACHEIVING YOUR DREAMS LATER.
the company’s main colour is a vibrant red that would knock your favourite socks right off your root chakra leaving you with... well... cold feet, i suppose. and LOOK how such a vibrant red offers us the world and everything in it AS it looks us in the eye and says, “here is health, take iT! here is safety, take iT! here is your very own version of a completely self-resposible and empowered REALITY. Take iT!” but this red is not the logo. it is not the main feature. it is everywhere, but in actual fact it is nowhere, because it is merely a background for the real message, a VISUAL pre-starter to your lunch and the scenic backdrop in which you will eat it. whilst this is a key colour for the company the logo is an iconic image locked into each of our psyches; the golden arches.
REMEMBER IT IS THE HALO, NOT THE REDNESS WHICH MUST ALTER ITSELF TO BE HERE. OUR DREAMS MUST BE FLEXIBLE AND WAIT UNTIL THE TIME IS RIGHT. NOT ADHERING TO THIS BRINGS INTO PLAY THE SHADOW SIDE OF OUR DREAMS WHICH INVOLVES AN ALL TOO FAMILIAR ROUTE IN WHICH WE NEGLECT OUR CURRENT CIRCUMSTANCES AND TO BATHE IN WHAT MIGHT BE. IN SHORT, MCDCONALDS IS TELLING US TO LIVE OUR LIVES AS THEY ARE NOW, WHILST NEVER LOSING SIGHT OF OUR PERFECTION. IN FACT, IT TELLS US THAT TO FOCUS ON THE PRESENT REALITY IS ACTUALLY THE ROUTE TO A HIGHER REALITY. IT IS NOT A BOOBY PRIZE OR SOMETHING TO LEAVE BEHIND, BUT A SPRINGBOARD. ONE BIG MAC FOR ME PLEASE. OK THEN, MAKE IT TWO! AND FRIES!

Using Oracle Cards with Children ‘Magical Unicorn Oracle Cards’ in the classroom
I have been using the ‘Magical Unicorn Cards’ created by Doreen Virtue with my class of 10 year olds for the last five months. I ask one child to choose a card each day in the morning. As part of our morning chat we talk about what we think the card might mean for us and I talk to the children about how it might fit into my life. The children enjoy learning about the lessons that I have been taught through my life and it gives them the opportunity to realise how the information about the card will fit into theirs. We keep the card up in the classroom throughout the day and the children take some time to look at the card independently and offer more suggestions on its benefit throughout the day. We base part of our weekly circle time lessons on what the cards have brought up for us in the week. As a Reiki channel I also look at the children’s energy through the week and ask the higher beings to inform me if there is a particular issue that we should be thinking about to help clear any blocked energy systems in the children. The children are always excited about pulling a card because they have beautiful illustrations and the headings on the cards are always simple for children to relate to.
Buying Oracle Cards There are so many oracle cards to choose from. If you are buying for children choose a set of cards that are easy for children to understand. Doreen Virtue’s ‘Magical unicorn cards’, ‘Mermaids and Dolphins’ and ‘Healing with the fairies’ are all good choices. Once purchased you can put your Reiki symbols into
the pack of cards if you are a Reiki channel. Otherwise, you can ask the angels of the highest good to be with the cards. We have a special place for our oracle cards to be kept in the classroom, surrounded by beautiful crystals. The children happily look through the cards and play with them in spare moments. The children like to draw pictures to surround the cards which we change regularly.
Top Tips for using oracle cards with children -- Ask children to choose a card they feel drawn to. -- Look at the picture together and talk about what is happening. -- What might be the message be? Ask Archangel Michael (or any angelic/master that you feel aligned to) to help focus your thoughts on the card. -- Read the heading of the card together to give you a little more insight. -- As the adult you may choose to read the description in the small booklet given with the cards and pick out the part that you feel relevant. -- Share with your child how you have used this particular advise yourself in the past -- Either then or at the end of the day discuss how the card has helped them through their day. This will help to anchor in the knowledge. -- Getting your child to design their own angelic/fairy cards is also a nice idea. If you would like any additional information about oracle cards with children, or how to incorporate energy work with children please feel free to contact me at natalie.smith@holisticchildrenandfamilyservices.org.

A Doctor’s Truth on Healing by Anjela Sriharan I don’t (yet) consider myself a writer but I have had the push to write this article for a while, to share my truth on healing with you. I hope you find it may assist you in some way! I have always been interested in healing. When I was younger I would find myself drawn to all therapies, conventional and alternative. I am fortunate to come from a spiritually open-minded family, where these thoughts were encouraged. Like others, I had always had the vision of healing involving the spirit, mind and body. I loved the idea of integrating therapies together to address an issue requiring healing. Having always been a ‘thinker ‘ it was natural for me to pursue this healing passion by studying medicine. This satisfied my logical side while during my studies events led me to train in Usui Reiki. What an impact that had on me! I began to see more clearly the connection between our energetic states when we experienced disease. The man with the heart condition was a man whose heart chakra had diminished in size and this was surely related to his recent family stress and its conflicting relationships. I was understanding the Truth that disease, or dis-ease is just a distance from ‘ease’, our natural state of being that we had created through repetitive unloving thoughts of ourselves. Once I started work as a medical doctor and finished my Reiki training I was hopeful about integrating the two together in my daily medical practice. Having worked in the British public health system for nearly two years, I am grateful for all the insights I gained there. I value the variety of conditions medicine can help with and I do believe that our heightened expectations of healing are largely due to the advances of medicine. I was, and still am, able to appreciate the psychological impact of illness on us, and the relationship between the mind and the body in terms of ill-health. I also saw that doctors are often perceived as underachieving in their work. However, their good intentions to heal to the best of their ability are usually challenged in environments where they
are burdened with excessive responsibility and expectations of their role. I also had insight into the limitations of medicine. The side effects of our many treatments make the healing experience more unpleasant. Medicine has recently started acknowledging our mental aspects of Self, and importance in relationship to ill-health. However, the majority of focus still remains on our physical body. I will be honest, I found myself despairing at times. Can we really say we are achieving our best when we as doctors primarily ‘dampen’ down the impact of maladies, never really solving the core of the issue? More concerning was the extent to which I saw patients relied on their health professionals to ‘sort out’ the problem. I could not understand how allowing people to be so disempowered could be beneficial to them in any way! I think most troubling for me was to see that the combination of overwhelming responsibilities health professionals face and the frustrations of not meeting them, with the restraints of a working with a restricted concept of how healing occurs, has led to many coping by detaching from patients and closed in their healing approach. I see now how practitioners avoid empathising and connecting too much with patients, as the challenges of work make this a potentially hurtful experience for all. I feel we are forgetting the Divinity within all of us. It was for these reasons, and acknowledging that medicine is not quite ready to fully integrate complementary therapies as I would like, that I have decided to take a break from medicine. I needed more patience with the system but could no longer work within it. Just like the rest of us I have experienced many transitions in 2008 that have led me to learning Ascension Reiki. We really do receive what we need at the Divine time! Ascension Reiki helped me to remember the importance of being a Master of my life, an important lesson for me and to share with others. We are our greatest healers, and whilst others come our way to assist us, we are the fortunate ones who ultimately heal ourselves.
For we have given ourselves the gift of the condition, the dis-ease, and the wonderful opportunity it offers for dealing with life issues. We knew what we were doing when we created it! By acknowledging that we are Masters we acknowledge that we have shared responsibility in healing. As a patient we are the creators, and as healers we have a responsibility to serve the highest good in our service. When we remember this empowered state then we remember who we are and access our true potential for healing anything. This is something that I was grateful to apply to myself recently. Following my divine guidance I came to New Zealand to share Reiki and my truth with others. However I faced many inner battles when I initially arrived, and soon developed eczema all over me. Why had I created this? What were the lessons? I realised the accumulation of unloving thoughts I had held for myself and the ‘rush energy’ I was in to be in the future, not the present, had led me to attack the very skin I was in. What a gift this was to use an holistic approach to heal myself and I did! I was simply reminding myself of my truth; that the integration of healing techniques, of medicine and complementary therapies, can produce powerful tools enabling us with the best opportunities to heal. And isn’t that something we all deserve? So what now? Now I continue to develop and practice my energy healing skills and continue to be open to other therapies. I intend to focus on the integration of these therapies, and to work with likeminded intuitive friends to help me provide an abundance of healing abilities and wisdom for all to enjoy. I look forward to opening a centre to anchor this vision and to work in oneness with others, as is our Truth. Thank you for enabling me to share my journey with you. Blessings on your journey, Anjela Sriharan.

Being Holistic by Una Bias Over 2,400 years ago the philosopher and mathematician Plato clearly understood the principles of holistic health. He wrote;
“the cure of the part should not be attempted without treatment of the whole and also no attempt should be made to cure the body without the Soul and therefore if the head and the body are to be well you must begin by curing the mind: that is the first thing... for this is the great error of our day in the treatment of the human body, that physicians seperate the Soul from the body.� Plato, Chronicles. 156e Some simple advice:
Do not use anything on your skin you would not eat. Eat a teaspoon of honey a day or add it to a cup of hot water. It is safe, gives energy boost, is good for skin, circulation, cells, due to high content of anti oxidants.Try ginger for joint pain or stiffness. Use tea tree and lavender for atheletes foot. by Una Bias
An invitation to all Masters and Master Teachers of the Ascension Reiki and Angelic Hosts of Light
You are receiving this invite as a call from yourself to re-attune to the Ascension Reiki and Angelic Attunements of Light. Why have you sent this to yourself? It is a reminder to continue on your journey, to ever move forward in love so that your students may continue to do the same. They grow as you grow. I hope you will love yourself and so continue to read your message or will you make an excuse to ignore your inner calling? As you are aware this past year we have all been called to truly step into our mastery, to truly walk in love and joy in all areas of our life, the perfect career and relationships being just two examples. The news has been constantly filled with negativity showing us just how many people still walk in fear, making money their God and so losing it! Staying in careers through fear and the need for security, and so redundancy and job losses come or depression and ill health, and all of this as you will know, as Masters comes through love, to bring up the fears that we may move back into love and live as such. I often talked of how 2007 was the year of the heart, moving from fear to love, for those that did, this energy prepared you for 2008, the opportunity to live from the heart and master all areas of our lives. Now 2009 is the year to see the benefits of all the clearing. Now as once before, when the Ascension Reiki was first introduced, done so to increase the vibration of the original Usui system, we are being called to up the vibration again in line with this new energy of 2009. Some Master Teachers have already come to me informing me of how when they stepped into channel to teach, it was different than any of their previous teachings, in addition there are those who have found the year of 2008 is the first year of teaching the Ascension Reiki, and others still taking their first bookings for 2009. Many of these are teachers that learnt years ago and have now found the love within to begin the teachings. Those noticing the difference in their teachings have done so as they have grown with the energy through teaching it, as remember it teaches you, you don’t teach it. Whatever category you fall into you have received this invite because you as Masters, have sent out the call to raise
your frequency once more, you are looking to the year of 2009 to reap all the rewards for the years of hard work and cleansings, as you finally touch the understanding that we can grow through love. So you are invited to attend a two-day training course for the Ascension Reiki and Angelic Attunements of Light to renew your energy and teachings. Please bring along your manuals as you are going to find some surprises in the way you are going to now pass on this knowledge and teachings as we bring it closer to Source, or should I say bring you closer to Source, to you! (Read it again!). Once you have been re-attuned to Masters Teachers level you will be issued with a new certificate and able to pass this same information onto those you have already taught at Master Teacher level, or you can invite them to this renewing of energy, if they have not received this. There may be those of you questioning not attending and how this may affect your teachings, and of course you are qualified as teachers so please continue I would simply ask you receive this message in love. Once re-attuned your name and contact details will then be put onto the website as we collate a true register of Master Teachers, as we truly move into the year of the Master 2+0+0+9=11. I am the 11th Master from Dr. Usui in my lineage, this is the 11th year and this is the year for all those that are ready and have grown with this system to truly step into the Masters energy and teach it as the greatest teachers did. If you have only studied to Masters level and wish to teach Master Teachers you are welcome to this renewing of teachers energy, you will receive the certificate as a Master Teacher. Venue: 36-38 Berry Street, Wolverhampton, WV1 Dates: Tue & Wed, 17-18 February 2009 Time 10am to 4pm Fee: ÂŁ151 I look forward to meeting with you as you face me knowing I AM you in Love, answering your call!

Becoming Attuned to Ascension Reiki by Kerry Cope
In the Presence of Angels secretary Kerry Cope shares with us her experience of becoming attuned to Ascension Reiki.
I did it, I finally did it! After coming up with excuses, all of which I thought were valid, I finally started Reiki attunements on December 1st 2008. My leg in plaster from thigh to ankle, I had no work commitments and childcare was sorted with the help of my parents. I had the courage to do something I thought I was incapable of doing, thanks to Una Bias at the Sedgley Living Soul Centre. I had been going to the Sedgley Centre for Reiki from Una some months before. I had grown from this uncertain, shaky, angry little thing that allowed life to “just happen” to someone that valued her self and knew she had to make changes. So Una knew I was ready, and now, so did I. I was aware that I would feel different, I just didn’t know how much. It was emotional and thought-provoking then the final attunement came, it was extremely emotional but in a good way, I released many fears and it was like the penny had dropped. My thoughts and feelings have changed dramatically and am no longer embarrassed by what I believe in. I know what I believe in and I know that some people around me find it difficult to understand be-
cause of their own fears, perhaps of the unknown or simply because its different. Often we go through life just accepting what happens, getting angry by it and believing that we are unable to change it. Maybe there are some things we cannot change, but maybe we are not supposed to, and that they happen for a reason. Sometimes its hard to see that reason. Before my spiritual journey began I believed “that which doesn’t break you, makes you stronger”, yet I held on to it instead of acknowledging it and letting it go. I know that there are bumps in the road that will bring new challenges but I also know that I am a stronger person to face them. I am truly blessed to have a wonderful, loving family around me. Now I have good friends like Una who have helped me grow. Reiki is not something I have learned, it is part of me and I look forward to the next step. There is joy in the presence of the angels. Luke 15:10 Kerry x
You can become attuned to Ascension Reiki at any of our Living Soul Centres. Call now to find out dates at your local centre.
Reader Channelling
I channelled the following message form Jesus on Sunday 30th November 2008 as I had a question for Him regarding what it meant to be initiated into His energy. Jesus channelled the below message. Being initiated into my energy is to be surrounded by unconditional love. This unconditional love will bring to the surface all those situations which have hurt you, but you choose to cling on to them as you feel this defines and represents who you are. Pain doesn’t define who you are, unconditional love defines who you are. Pain only causes you heartache and fear. Pain only makes you scared of being the real you. I am the real you! Today by releasing and letting go of all the hurt and pain you carry around deep inside it is time Dear Child of the Light for you to be the real you – the embodiment of me! Love all of mankind with an open and honest heart. Love all of life with an honest and open heart. We are all equal on this earthly plane and we are all separate to no one. Being Christ-like is the only way forward. Here you will find your true potential and power as an individual and as a spiritual healer and teacher. I still walk the earth. This is true I do indeed walk this earth. I walk alongside all the spiritual leaders, teachers, healers and those like Nelson Mandela who speak words of unconditional love, truth, and honesty.
Mankind needs help and that’s why I came back on this earth to help them live their true lives. There is so much evil and wrongdoings happening all around. Instead of loving our fellow man, brothers and sisters, mothers and fathers, sons and daughters as we should. Man is choosing to cause them harm in the most horrific of ways. A father is supposed to love his own child. He is not supposed to violate the trust of his daughter by ending her childhood so early through lust and to satisfy his own sexual needs. Mother’s carry their children in the womb for nine months, loving, supporting and reassuring their unborn child that they will do everything to protect them from harm. So why go back on these promises, by neglecting them and causing them harm? Children are in a hurry to grow up so fast. Instead of enjoying the magical times of childhood, they are blocking their hearts from love and letting anger seep into every pore and using violence as their way of life. Violence is not the way of life, its love, peace, forgiveness and truth. The media is the biggest culprit for spreading fear and blocking mankind from living and loving with an open heart, but that is changing now. Love and light is also in the media and it is spreading. There are TV stations whose sole purpose is to spread love and light and to teach people empowerment. All Light Workers, spiritual leaders,
healers and teachers must all band together and teach mankind to love their fellow man. We must teach mankind equality. We are all equal to my Father, so why should we maim, hurt and kill because someone is different? Hate needs to be replaced with love and light. We need to love everyone; young, old, black, white, rich, poor; man, woman, boy, girl, healthy and the sick as ONE. Love each and everyone unconditionally and with an open heart. If a person annoys you then they are here to remind you of a forgotten lesson. Learn the lesson and give thanks to them through unconditional love. Open your hearts all children of the Light. Let the darkness fall behind you, as you walk this earth surrounded, shielded and protected in unconditional love. Help others to be protected in unconditional love through your teachings and healings. Teach mankind to love and love with an open heart. Teach them to live in truth, honesty, sincerity, kindness, integrity, compassion and most importantly LOVE! Thank you, Dear Child of the Light, for hearing my words and sharing them with others. Continue sharing your love and light with all whom you meet. Continue to live in love and light with an open loving heart. Peace love and light are with you on your journey. I am Jesus Christ, Son of the Almighty. Love and light, Denise xxx
Angel of the Third Eye Those of you that have been to our centres or on our website will be familiar with our angel images. These channelled images are designed for specific healing and when used in meditation they are very powerful. This month we bring to you the Angel of the Third Eye. State your wishes and then allow the healing energy to come from the image and pass through you as you and the angel become one.
I release all fears preventing me from seeing my truth
