Give Yourself Credit

The Posse of Angels has asked me several times, ‘Why are people so hard on themselves? And, why do they choose to focus their attention on what they haven’t done or how they could have done something better?’ As the majority of angels that make up my angelic family have not lived a human life, they have never had to experience duality. Seeing themselves only as Divine Source energy, they not only feel whole and complete, but they also feel joy as to what they accomplish. With their deep, profound connection to God, they know without a shadow of a doubt that whatever they achieve, or have not achieved is not only Divine, but it is perfection. Many of us were brought up to not to draw attention to our accomplishments and to underplay who we are. Whole generations were programmed to not draw attention to their gifts and abilities and to give themselves credit. Giving ourselves credit is something that is natural for all of us and we can see it in very young children. Their unbridled enthusiasm and openness is infectious. This willingness to share sees many of them quite candidly shouting out answers and excitedly waving their hands to be called upon. Unfortunately, this natural urge of wishing to share ourselves with others is often met with discouragement and we are taught to be quiet and to not make a fuss. This programming saw many us falling silent and resigned as we stifled our pride in ourselves. Yet, even though this Divine natural instinct of ours to give ourselves credit has remained dormant, it is something that can be encouraged to reawaken as I found out in 2008. With our move to the Monterey Bay area 6 years ago, I was synchronistically lead to join an organization called The Professional Women’s Networking group. Before each meeting, every member of the group was given 30 seconds on a stop-watch to state who they were and what they did. It was called an elevator speech. The significance of the name was that, if you met someone in an elevator and just had a fraction of time between floors to introduce yourself, what would you say? I found it interesting how the speeches fell into three distinct categories. 1) Those of us who were new to the elevator speech, started by stating our names and then began inserting ‘ums’ and some ‘errs’ and then basically crashed and burned as the buzzer went off. 2) There were those that knew their elevator speech. But as they were not very confident at publically acknowledging and giving themselves credit, they spoke in inaudible voices and haltingly. Even though this group of women recited the words perfectly, there was very little belief in themelves and their delivery did not carry much conviction. 3) And then there were the masters of the elevator speech. These verbal warriors stood like implacable, steadfast vigils delivering and enunciating who they were and what they did as if it was a creed written by the hand of God almighty himself. The confidence and assurance that they exuded, made the audience excited to find out more about them. And I marveled as not only did they manage to get all this information across in a nonchalant, confident, non-arrogant manner, but some of the gifted few even had time to wrap it all up by ending with their business’s signature quote. Desiring to be one of these elevator speech masters, I went home and practiced and by next month’s meeting I stood up, smiled and said with great confidence, "Hello my name is Claire Candy Hough and through my wonderful Healing Practice Angel Healing House I am a Licensed Reiki Master/Teacher, an Angel Practitioner, an International radio host a write and an author. I help clients improve their emotional and physical well-being, live lives of joy, peace and love so that they can go forth and fashion a beautiful life for themselves"! And all of this was said in under 30 seconds! The funny thing that I came to realize after saying this speech meeting after meeting, was that I really did not care if anyone got who I was, but how good I felt in acknowledging me. The Posse of Angels is laughing as they are reminding us that giving ourselves credit doesn’t involve inflated egos, puffing out our chest and strutting around like roosters, crowing about what we’ve done in order to get recognition. It is merely the open acknowledgement of our individual capabilities, and the deep knowing that our efforts and accomplishments do make a difference as they hold special meaning for the betterment of the Universe. As so many of us have been programmed to be human doings and not human beings, we have received a lot of our recognition and attention from doing things. Because of this, the very minute that we accomplish a task, we instantly set our attention on the next task to be done. By taking time to pat ourselves on the back and really enjoy our achievements, we allow it to become part of who we are. The energy and resonance of achievement sends messages to our brain and body and actually fortifies the frequency of self-confidence and belief in ourselves. If we choose not to honor our accomplishments, we will always be on a hamster wheel of perpetually adding things to endless lists, ticking them off and never really getting to the end. With this constant worry that there is always more to do, we do not give ourselves the much needed sense of…… I AM ENOUGH. The Posse of Angels is reminding us that before we incarnated in human form, our accomplishments were just things we chose to do; as there was nothing more attached to them. No grading scale, no comparisons, their certainly was no competition, no extra prizes or even extra money in our pay packets that were attached to anything that we did. By giving ourselves credit for what we have done, we are encouraged to try more things, be adventurous and experience more of life. And when we give ourselves permission to acknowledge our achievements, the Universe has a magical way of revealing more connections that provide us with even greater opportunities to be proud of ourselves.

Let Go of Fear and Live The Life Of Your Dreams

I don’t know about you, but I am very excited about this much spoken about month of April. For those of us who have honored and respected our lives, we will experience a magical month indeed. The Posse of Angels is reminding us that unexpected opportunities and connections will manifest in physical form in order for us to begin to fulfill our intentions of stepping forward into our dreams. And there is a big difference between those that take advantage of these connections, and those that let these chances go by. The difference is that those who will take advantage of the opportunities will allow their commitment to their dreams to be of greater consequence, than any fear that they may choose to have. The dictionary definition of fear is that it’s an unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous, likely to cause us harm or pain, or is a threat. And if fear is a belief that we have had programmed and educated into us, then with our free will, we can choose to go beyond our fears and educate them out of our lives by simply not choosing to believe in them. And this is precisely what The Posse of Angels wishes to address today, letting go of fear in order to live our dreams. Choosing to be so committed to our heartfelt desires so that no fear whatsoever will stop us. Yet fear of stepping forward and sabotaging our dreams may not be obvious, as I helped a client of mine discover. A lovely client and Reiki student of mine is one of the most gifted and talented spiritual Teachers that I know. Several years ago, she experienced gang violence when she was shot and a Dr. told her that she would never walk again. Not liking her Doctors prognosis, she got a second, third, fourth and fifth opinion and each Doctor told her the same thing that she would not walk again. While speaking with her physical therapist , he told her that there was hope and a chance for her to walk again. Choosing to align herself with this hope, she went through grueling physical therapy. By not taking no for an answer and with her iron will and determination, she eventually walked again. And if walking again was not enough of a success, she is an inspiration as she has gone on to become a physical fitness trainer. She is a remarkable teacher because she has taken the hardships and adversities in her life, learned from them and gone on to affect her world; not with hatred, anger and revenge, but with great love, compassion and forgiveness. And even with overcoming this enormous physical challenge, because of her fear and long held issues around worthiness, she sabotages herself in a very sneaky way that stops her from stepping forth and being of service as a Teacher. She is constantly studying and taking course after course for ever more certifications to make herself ‘good enough’ to be a Teacher. Now, The Posse of Angels is reminding us that there is nothing wrong with bettering our minds, and learning things. But there does come a time when we must face our fears and know that we are well taught and have all we need to offer our gifts and abilities to others. What I find amazing is that she physically defied the medical Doctors and walked again and yet her fear of being worthy and measuring up stops her cold in her tracks when it comes to sharing her gifts with others as a Teacher. And I can understand exactly what my student is feeling because there was a time when I was also in fear of teaching. You see, in 2003, I had been well taught as a Reiki Master/Teacher and had established my Healing Practice for over a year, when I received a random call. The caller asked when I would be holding my next class to learn Reiki. As I gave Reiki healing and Intuitive Counseling sessions but had never taught Reiki before, I literally laughed into the phone and said, “Oh you don’t want me, you want my Master Teacher who lives about 2 hours away.” I then gave them her number and hung up. A few minutes later, I received another random call from another person who wanted to study Reiki with me. Again, I giggled and I thought how synchronistic and directed them to my Master Teacher. Well, when God and the Angels want us to do something, they are tenacious and will not give up and keep sending us signs. Over the next few days, I received more calls from people enquiring about studying Reiki with me. The penny finally dropped that a) the Universe was encouraging me to teach even though I had never taught Reiki before and b) that I would have the wherewithal to be a great Teacher. After attuning many hundreds of Reiki Master Teachers and Reiki Practitioners over the last 11 years, teaching Reiki is such a delight and absolute joy for me. But like with anything new, I had to start with my first student and get over my fear and just do it. And The Posse of Angels is nodding their heads and saying that having one’s dreams and stepping forward to living them are two very different things. Many people sabotage themselves from actually living their dreams because everything in their life is not quite right yet or in perfect order. One client of mine who was offered to be host on a TV program said, “I can’t possibly step forward yet, as I have so much more weight to lose.” And if we do play this game of waiting for everything to be perfect in order to live our dreams, it probably will never be the right time. The truth is that God doesn’t listen to what our ideas of how life needs to be before we can step forward into our dreams. He knows that the perfection already exists in the fact that the offering of those opportunities and connections were Divinely given to us. The Posse of Angels is assuring us that when opportunity comes knocking at your door, please know in that instance that you have all the expertise, courage, strength and wherewithal to step forward through that door and share your gifts with others, because God’s grace has allowed it to manifest and appear on your doorstep. And if God believes in me, and presents me with opportunity knocking, that is all the reassurance that I need to walk through the door and live the life of my dreams!

Allow Yourself To Be The Voice

With one of my favorite shows starting its’ 6th season, it reminded me of the wonderful opportunity that I was given to see it grow from its' very first show in the US, to becoming an award winning program. With my husband Pete having worked on the first 5 seasons of ‘The Voice’, he was able to get me tickets to many of the tapings. If you have not seen this wonderful show, it is quite different from other singing competitions; as the coaches, not judges, have their chairs faced away from the singers. In these Blind Auditions, things like age, dress, gender, and culture do not play a part in their selection as the coaches are solely choosing the contestants on their voice. Having been at the tapings season after season, I realized several consistent themes with this show. Firstly, I’ve watched these talented singers pursue what they passionately believe in. Each season there are several contestants who say that they used to have jobs other than singing, but by not pursuing what they love to do they felt as if a piece of them was missing. This feeling of not being whole had led many of them to quit jobs and pursue their music. When they were asked what their fall back choice was, they simply said that there is no fall back; for this is what made them feel alive. Having the courage and the conviction to be who we are is not always an easy path to follow. Many of these contestants sing for meager wages, and their families have had to sacrifice much. They endure whatever it takes for their talent and none of these hardships are enough to dissuade them from turning away from singing; turning away from whom they divinely are. This theme of enduring is not only relegated to sacrificing for the pursuit of their talent; as many of the contestants have also had to endure heartache and loss. Some have spoken about losing a parent to illness; many speak of having a life threatening disease or being bullied as a child. In each case, their suffering pushed them and made them even stronger. And for those who experienced a loved one who crossed over, they have seen just how precious life is and it made them even more determined not to compromise the pursuit of their dreams. And even though each contestant has their unique path that brought them to ‘The Voice’, once they get picked by a coach in the Blind Auditions, they begin anew on a level playing field. The thing that surprises me most about whether the singers continue to advance toward the finals has so much more to do with allowing themselves to be who they are, rather than having an incredible voice. This is so because everyone who gets through the elimination process to make it to the Blind Auditions already has a great voice. What I have been able to observe is that the difference in the contestants and the level of their performance is directly affected by how much they believe in themselves. This determines how much they will connect with the song and sprinkle their performance with magic. This intangible magical element that one may not be able to explain is something truly Divine when it happens. This magical moment tugs on our heart strings, as it stirs something deep inside of the listener. When the contestants practice their songs, coaches most often comment on whether or not the singer has connected with the song. And when the contestant has pressed their coach for more explanation, they simply say, “You just have to believe in yourself more.” In fact, when I have seen the really magical performances, the singer was not singing to be better than anyone else or even to sell more itunes. They were merely bringing forth their God given talent and being themselves. Just recently, when season’s 5 winner of The Voice, Tesanne Chin, was asked what it feels like when she sings, she simply stated, ‘I really don’t know, as something within me takes over and I almost feel like I am not there.” The Posse of Angels and I surmise that what she allows to take over is the grace of God coming through her as she uses her natural abilities. Allowing yourself to be who you are comes from a peaceful, deep knowing within, that you are a child of God and allowed to shine your own special brand of uniqueness. This illumination from within lights us up like Christmas bulbs and it gets the world’s attention. But the funny thing about allowing ourselves to be who we are is that we are not doing it to get attention. In fact, we are not doing it for the money, nor the recognition or the fame. For like Tesanne, we are allowing ourselves to be who we are divinely meant to be. The Posse of Angels is saying that there is nothing that you cannot accomplish, if you have the courage to allow yourself to voice who you are. If you have faith in your abilities, and remain determined and focused on what you love doing, then you allow the beauty of what you love, to be the beauty of what you do.” By allowing yourself to be The Voice you have an infinite number of ways that you can use this powerful instrument. You could be the Voice to bring light to injustice. You may use your Voice to help soothe, heal and bring more love to a world that has been ravaged by hatred and war. Or you may use your Voice, like I do, to empower others to reconnect with who they are in order to step forward and realize the fulfillment of their dreams. And unlike the show ‘The Voice’, life is not a competition that we have to out sing anyone in order to win. All we need to do is to honestly speak up and share our passion with others. And The Posse of Angels is reminding us that whether the contestants on ‘The Voice’ make it all the way to the final show and win the competition is not the overriding goal. Just by the mere fact that they are pursuing who they are, they are successful. For success is not to be measured so much by the position that one has reached in life; as by the challenges and obstacles which one has endured and overcome. Because the contestants have dared to believe in themselves and their talent, each one of their lives has been irrevocably changed. And as a result, their lives have grown so much grander and fuller then they ever could imagine and their world expanded in direct proportion to their courage to be 'The Voice' and pursue who they are. Until next month, go out and share your voice with the world!

The Key to the New Age is Your Passion

Firstly I would like to say a HUGE happy Anniversary to myself and Angel Healing House Radio. For it was 2 years ago, January 2012, that I began hosting my first radio program on Blog Talk Radio. Looking back over the past 2 years, there were certainly some things which I intuited would happen as a result of starting my own radio program. My show has enabled me to go global and opened up the opportunity to internationally share the inspirational messages from my angelic family, The Posse of Angels. And although, I had been a guest on many radio and television programs, this was a very new experience for me. So was I fearful and did I doubt myself? You bet! But the encouraging voice of God and the angels was much stronger than those two illusions of doubt and fear. Armed only with a great excitement to host my own show, I stepped forward in faith. Every Tuesday morning at 11am (PST) I sought to bring forth a heavenly show filled with humor, down to earth practical angel advice, and most of all love. Looking back over the last 2 years, I can clearly see that there was one area in particular, probably the most important area, that my radio program allowed me to develop, and this was in the area of my writing. From the initial show, The Posse of Angels told me not to feature any guests on my program, as my show would solely be a platform for delivering angel messages on relevant topics. Not having any guests, and never being quite 100% sure whether I would have any callers, I channeled and wrote information on topics to present. And while I had written books and blogs in the past, this regular weekly radio show kept me on task and forced me to be diligent in writing. As a result of this, I allowed my natural talent of writing to be developed every single day. Now it is amazing what one is capable of when one takes a leap of faith and believes in ones’ passion. Every week, by honoring my great love and gift for writing, I built a strong foundation of being able to create easily, with words flowing without effort. The Posse of Angels is agreeing with me and saying that all this practice to my passion of writing has been like a dress rehearsal. The accumulated energies of my focus on my passion is opening new doors of opportunities and connections that are aligned with my writing to abundantly foster, promote and support me . In fact, with all of my diligence as a writer and author, The Universe will have no ambiguity as to how it will help me to co-create my heartfelt wishes and the fulfillment of my dreams. And while my path to new beginnings is different to yours, I can tell you that we are all in the same boat, as we are riding on the waves of a very new frequency and a great change in energy. This great change in energy is like nothing else we have experienced on our Planet. And just like nurturing my passion of writing, this new energy has all to do with each and every one of us finding that passion within and then sharing it with the world; for sharing it with the world is the most important component. This sharing energy is expansive, limitless, and filled with endless possibilities. And the wonderful news is that this energy is accessible to everyone as we begin to come home and own a new power within. I’d like you to ask yourself, “What would you do if you knew that you could not fail?” “ What would happen if you truly let go of all preconceived ideas of what you should do and followed your heart as to what you love doing and share it with the rest of the world?” The perfect time to review, own and share your unique and special abilities is in the present moment, because all we have is the nano second of the Now. In the majority of cases, this passion is something that comes effortlessly and easily from you. This passion or talent is often something that when you do it, you lose all track of time and you would do it even if you were not getting paid for it. This gift that was given to you by God is so much a part of you that it is inextricably linked to who you are and brings your heart immense joy. The Posse of Angels is saying please do not hide your passion away from the world because that passion is the very reason that you are here in physical form. Now you may be thinking, “But I’m not talented, there’s nothing that I do that is creative in order to share with others”. But it’s paramount to remember that we each have an integral purpose for the world. In fact you incarnated on the Earth plane in physical form in order that you can reconnect to your passion and rediscover your importance to the Universal plan. That importance to the Universal Plan is held within your passion, your gifts and your abilities. The Posse of Angels is saying that it is important to note here when so many people are looking to be more spiritual, and searching for answers in their lives, that the number one thing that will reconnect you to feeling like you are living Heaven on Earth, is for you to recognize the blessing of your God given gifts and to shine and bring them forth to share with the rest of the world. Your passion is the key to the New Age and each of us holds a piece of it to create. And while you may not see yourself as the next Jane Austen, Picasso, or Mozart, you might have a passion and love for rescuing animals, saving the rainforests, helping the homeless, saving the whales or inventing ways to clean up our beautiful Planet. By writing that book that you have inside of yourself, your story could deeply touch the lives of others and help encourage them to live their passion. The song that you write could lift the hearts of those who are disillusioned and give them hope to live another day and try one more time. By passionately bringing forth your talents and abilities with fun, joy and creativity, you will work with these powerful energies to open doorways to the most magical and miraculous connections and opportunities for yourself. But these magical doors will not appear and open for you, if you have not stepped forward and shown faith and trust in yourself as part of the Divine plan. That Divine plan that you signed on for, was to share your glory with the rest of humanity. This glory within you, your passion is begging to be recognized now and the Earth is waiting for you to celebrate it and bring it forth with all your enthusiasm and excitement. By uniting the recognition of our gifts and passions and the powerful brand new energy available to us all, this winning combination will bring forth an amazing reality for each one of us. And I, just like The Posse of Angels, can’t wait to see what miracles we all will create.

Belief In Our Dreams Equals Magic

Belief in Our Dreams Equals Magic!! I adore this time of the year. Come rain or shine or anything else, on December 1st all of our 100 angels come down from the attic and fly onto the Angel Healing House Christmas tree. We only have angels on our tree and The Posse of Angels is stating, “What else would Angel Healing House hang on their tree? I am like a child, filled with wonder and enchantment absorbing the decorations, embracing the season of giving and brimming with good will and peace for all. And while every day for me is Heaven sent, this time of the year is especially magical because my belief that anything is possible seems to be heightened. The ability to choose to believe is certainly not seasonal. It’s within everyone’s capacity, yet is underutilized by many people. What makes many of us automatically assume that the fulfillment of our wishes either will not happen, be very difficult to achieve or that we will have to accept a compromise? The Posse of Angels is saying that while our programming and belief systems have a great effect on our perceptions of life, it is we who ultimately have free will as to how we choose to perceive our lives.The unwavering belief in oneself and belief in ones heartfelt dreams creates an alchemical magic that often brings about astounding results. A wonderful example of the power of belief came to me from a client who found me on my Angel Healing House Blog Talk Radio program. Jim, not his real name, was a classroom teacher and he longed to rise to the position of being a principle. Deciding to make movement to the fulfillment of his desire, he went back to school for additional credentials. With increased certification, he searched constantly to find a position. But year after year, he kept coming up empty. When I spoke with him, he said that he didn’t get a job as a principle because there were too many over qualified people for too few jobs, and that good paying jobs like these were scarce. He also said that he and his wife longed to move north; as the neighborhood in the south in which they lived had changed for the worse and was quite dangerous now. But with not getting a better job, there was no way they could afford to move as the northern suburbs were more expensive. In addition to being downhearted, he was physically suffering from back problems, shortness of breath, and was not sleeping at night. The more he spoke, the more the Posse of Angels showed me a leaf that had been caught in an eddy and it had his face on it. This Jim leaf was caught in a downward whirlpool of his own making, created by his thoughts and beliefs in lack and focusing on a defeatist attitude of not being able to achieve his desires. Firstly, The Posse of Angels swooped in and reminded Jim that there is only what he desires. Actually there only is what each and every one of us desires. This was an unbelievable revelation to him as he thought he was in fierce competition with everyone else. I went on to paint him a very different, but vivid picture of just how multi-dimensional we are and that there is a different reality for everyone depending on their desires and their energies within. I then explained to him, compassionately of course, that until he changed the sad and sorry tale that he kept telling himself day in and day out about not being able to get a job, that he would never, ever achieve what he felt in his heart was his due. The reason for this was because his feelings were so energetically opposite to what he desired. Once we allow this knowledge to settle on the deepest part of our soul, then we realize that it doesn’t matter how many other people in the world are going for those jobs. What matters is that whatever we ask for and faithfully believe in, must manifest for us. But I emphasized that we must let go of the how and the when for our hearts desires to be realized, as this area is the providence of God and the angels, not ours. In this way, the most magical of possibilities and miracles can occur to answer our prayers; far from the limited ways our logical minds can conceive. For the rest of the session, I shared with Jim tried and true, simple exercises that he could focus on and practice that would help turn his desperate, sad energies into those which were more grateful, positive and optimistic. By letting the grace of God work in his life, I told him that he would easily draw a job to himself that fulfilled his desires. Four weeks later, I received this email from Jim: “I just wanted to let you know and to thank you and the Posse of Angels for your guidance. I am happy to say that last night I was named Principal at a terrific elementary school. I know that our session together and my changed, positive outlook made all the difference. My wife and I both send well wishes to you!” Jim New Jersey, USA This was not only wonderful news, but Jim went on to tell me of the additional miracle that was attached to the fulfillment of his dream. He said that the principle’s job that he was offered was in a Northern suburb, exactly where they initially desired to move! Fancy that, what a coincidence! Jim told the Universe, God and the angels exactly what he desired and what clinched this deal with God, was his focus, faith, and belief in the magic of life. Then ABRACADABRA, magic happened. Now The Posse of Angels is chiming in and saying that our having faith is not the belief that God will do what we want. Rather it is the belief that He will do what is for our highest good and for the highest good of all concerned. In this way, all prayers are answered. But in order for this to occur, we must surrender our linear limited view of life, and allow for our prayers to be answered through God’s handiwork. My lovely client did not begin to change his outlook of despair to belief in order to influence God. But his change to optimism and having a positive outlook was to change the nature of himself. And as many of us have experienced, it is only by changing from within does our world begin to change on the outside. You need to believe in things that have not happened yet; for they will never manifest into the physical form without that energy of belief behind them. One of the greatest gifts that we can give ourselves, not only in this holiday season but all year round, is the gift of belief. By surrendering and allowing for the grace of God to enter into our lives, we will allow for infinite possibilities to create miracles for us. Now, is being asked to believe an easy thing to do, especially when there is no tangible physical evidence that things will all work out for the best? Absolutely not! But having lived this way for 10 years, I find that it is only when I am in a state of suspension, with absolutely no place to land in sight, that it forces my wings to unfurl in order for me to fly. And as I fly along, buoyed by the grace, the majesty, the infinite love, protection and guidance of God and the angles, I may not be aware of my destination, but the magic in life happens because I have had the faith to let God be the wind beneath my wings and allow His winds to carry me and give me direction.

Happy Homecoming to Who You Are

Like many people, I love this time of year with its pumpkin scones and lattes, cheery jack-o-lanterns and cooler temperatures. The mere smell of nutmeg and allspice has me hankering to wear my pink flannel bunny pajamas and putting my scarves and sweaters from the back of my closet to the front. And while the month of October in the past has been a time of harvest, The Posse of Angels is sharing with us that October had many of us experiencing a very different kind of harvest this year. The harvest of October has traditionally been associated with gathering foods to can and store away, in order to sustain us physically through the winter months. Yet, what many of us have experienced this past month was so revealing, that in some ways, the spiritual nourishment that it provided will feed our souls now, during our winters and for all our days to come. After we experienced a somewhat sleepy summer with not much happening, September saw many of us draw connections that finally opened doors and created forward motion towards our heartfelt desires. And after this brief flurry of activity, October came in and seemed to have presented us with a time of stillness. The Posse of Angels is nodding their heads and saying that this time of void was invaluable to really take note of our lives. The quiet of October gave the collective consciousness a chance to reset, as to how we relate and connect on a more conscious level to ourselves, to others and to our environment. And as we spent so much of October resetting how we interact in the world, many returned to fully living from their Divine Eternal natures. And The Posse of Angels is saying that many have finally decided to return ‘Home’ to themselves. With many Lightworkers doing this, we chose to return to our biological families in October. Our relationships with our families are sometimes the hardest to deal with; as they are often laden with the heavy burden of blame. The Posse of Angels says that there are several reasons for so many of us reconnecting with family. By returning to our birth families, many saw just how far we have come and how much we have enlightened. With many Lightworkers having cleared and cleansed their issues, we have allowed ourselves to detach from family stories and dramas. Practicing detachment, we allowed our family members to live and experience their own journey. And by loving them for exactly where they choose to be, we have transcended the need for blame, finding fault in others and seeing ourselves as victims. With clear-eyed awareness, many of us have taken responsibility for our contribution to the perpetuation of negative emotions attached to family relationships. Having done all of the above, we have chosen to spiritually come home to who we are and then chose to literally go back home to our roots. My client Mary (not her real name) experienced her own ‘going home’ and what it felt like to return to her birth family in October. She had revealed to me that being the only girl in her family of boys had been very difficult for her whole life; as she was raised in a culture and religion that praised sons and virtually did not recognize daughters. It was actually voiced by her parents that education would be wasted on her, as she was very pretty and the expectation was that she would be married off to someone rich and have children. And while Mary was not against marriage or having children, she grew up deeply sad that her talents of writing were not praised like those of her brother’s. Putting all her effort into her looks, Mary made the decision to get the recognition of her parents by marrying a wealthy man. She went on to have children and endured many years of being subjected to his abuse. After she divorced, she decided that even though her family did not honor her talent of writing, she would respect her gifts and she began to write books. In the years that followed, only out of a sense of duty, she forced herself to visit her family. On the days before her departure, she would begin to sense a heavy feeling of being either judged or not being listened to. And every time she visited, her feelings were like a self-fulfilling prophesy that had her holding back tears of rage, at her parents blatant disregard for her efforts as they lauded her older brothers. Through Intuitive Counseling and Reiki Sessions with me, Mary was able to clearly see her life from a higher perspective. She understood why she had chosen certain souls to be her parents. She also saw that, because of her own actions in previous incarnations, she had chosen their contrasting characteristics to help challenge her to grow spiritually. Through our sessions, Mary became empowered to respect her talents as a writer. With renewed enthusiasm and passion, she finished her first novel. She then honored her writing and signed with a literary agent. It was sometime later that she joyously called, to tell me that a major publishing house was going to publish her first book. Now that she was a published writer, she decided to return home to prove to her family that she was deserving of being a recognized writer. Sitting with her family while they had tea, she excitedly told them what she had accomplished; as she had kept the publishing of her book a secret from them. The only thing that her mother said was, “You know, your older brother is such a brilliant writer, why doesn’t he get a literary agent?” It was in that very moment, that Mary realized that what her mother said or did not say, no longer had any effect on her. With the work that Mary had done in our sessions, she was no longer reactive. She knew that her mothers’ words and actions, had nothing to do with whether she was talented or not. Her mother’s words were reflective of her upbringing and programming to favor sons. In that instant when Mary realized that she no longer needed anyone else’s recognition of her talents, she smiled knowing that she was no longer needy and dependent on her family’s recognition. Mary thanked me for helping her remember that we all are Divine and each of us chooses to be where we are on the journey towards enlightenment. I had shared with Mary that we each carry the keys of spiritual awakening within us. Some of us choose to find the keys to enlightenment quickly, some choose to find the keys slowly and keep themselves in the dark. And then there are some others who choose never to find the keys and never experience enlightenment. Turning the mirror back on herself, Mary remembered that it took her to the age of 40 to find her spiritual keys and awaken to who she was. She then let go of judgment on how her parents should act and allowed them the same freedom of choice on whether or not to enlighten. By surrendering judgment, she stopped blaming others, and using them as an excuse for being a victim and not honoring her God-given talents. By letting go of self-imposed limitation, she opened herself to live from her divine eternal nature and her unlimited power inside. Mary said her trip back to her family was not so much about reuniting with them, but more so of reuniting with herself. For the reflection of her family helped strengthen her conviction to the path she wished to follow. No longer shackled to some self-imposed illusion of the past, she was now free to confidently step forward to her dream of being a writer. Happy Homecoming to One and All!

Speak Your Truth

The Posse of Angels and I are so excited!!! As of August 20, 2013 Lightworkers may not have realized it, but we have crossed over a monumental demarcation line. This energetic line that has been crossed over is having so much grander an effect on our lives than last year’s much anticipated date of 12-12-12. With all that has been written about this New Age, the collective consciousness has now risen to such an extent that we have crossed over from the Piscean Age into the Age of Aquarius. And just like the lyrics of the song “The Age of Aquarius” proclaims, “…..and love will rule the stars.” The Piscean Age was dominated by reason, logic and rational thinking that were built on a foundation of cold hard facts. This so-called ‘Age of Reason’ saw the majority of the Planet put their faith and trust in science and if something could not be proven through clinical trials and research studies, many chose to not accept and believe in it. And the Piscean age served the Planet well from an energetic point of resonance; as much of the world was not energetically in alignment with even considering anything metaphysical or spiritual. By only being able to perceive the world through our limited linear minds, many people’s hearts were closed and as a result they chose to perpetuate denial, fear and being controlled, By shifting our consciousness, many of us have now opened the doors to perceive the world, not by thinking and reason, but by experiencing life through our hearts by feeling, imagination, wonderment and intuition. By trusting in the Universe that we are abundant and that all our needs will be met, we open doors of infinite and limitless possibilities to abound in our lives. As we crossed that demarcation line, we have now gone from saying, ‘I’ll believe it when I see it’, to ‘I’ll see it when I believe it'. The reason that this event is so exciting, now that the Planet has shifted to a higher vibrational frequency, is that many of us will be able to be heard, seen and perceived by many more people. As a result of this, The Posse of Angels is saying that we will be drawing situations to ourselves to communicate our Truth to others. Our Truth is so unique that when we are not in physical form, we can energetically be recognized by our Truth that we emit. There are souls that may have a similar Truth; but there never has been, never is, or never will be any one with your exact Truth and energetic resonance. This Truth is not within us by happenchance, and it is there for a much higher Divine purpose. Each of us carries an integral puzzle piece of the Planet that is contained in our Truth and is made up of those things that we hold true in our hearts. Many Lightworkers have communicated their Truth to other Like-minded souls who also shared their beliefs. In these like-minded circles of love, light, and acceptance, each person had a safe platform to speak their Truth in supportive surroundings. But The Posse of Angels is saying that in order to create a world where honesty is the norm, Lightworkers are creating situations and chances to communicate just how important their Truth is to them, and not just in the comfort and security of like-minded groups. When we are imparting and sharing our Truth to others, it’s important to remember that we are not doing it to try to change anyone’s opinions. In fact, when sharing our Truth it is tantamount to remember that we are not doing to be evangelical, there is no hidden agenda behind what we are saying and we are not speaking our Truth to try to get anyone to believe us nor even necessarily to agree with us. We are merely speaking our Truth in order to be authentic. The Posse of Angels is not only hearing your thoughts, but they are picking up a great deal of fear. Some of you are thinking, “Yeah, but if I start to tell people outside of my New Age community that I see and hear angels, faeries, UFO’s and I get messages from dead people, won’t they think I am crazy and disassociate with me? There are some who will and some who won’t. But what people do with our Truth is not within our control and has nothing to do with us. In fact, by firmly stating your Truth, the Universe knows exactly where you stand and will send you people, opportunities and connections to support your Truth. The Posse of Angels is strongly reminding you that this support could come in the form of naysayers and those who challenge you. Remember that our conviction in ourselves is bolstered many times by not defending our right to our Truth, but by fearlessly standing in our Truth and holding fast to what we believe, no matter what anyone thinks. In fact, by holding no attachment to whether anyone gets you or believes in you, you allow others to walk their own journey and hold to their own Truth; as they are also a unique and integral puzzle piece to create the New World. Is following our Truth easy? And the answer is like many things in life, yes and no. Life becomes easier when we stand in our Truth, as we will be clear inside as to what path to follow. And yet, following our Truth may reveal others who are threatened by what we believe in. For example, those of us who speak openly about angelic connection, see faeries, and receive messages across the veil from those who have crossed over, will be very different to others. Other people may not be at the stage energetically where they can perceive, hear, and communicate with other beings. In addition, many people are so deeply conditioned that even if they do see and hear things, their programming on what is possible will override what they are experiencing. I was recently on a radio program and with the topic being about my angelic Walk-in experience, the interviewer said, ‘But there is no scientific proof to substantiate your beliefs.’ Science is of the mind and for the majority of the Piscean Age, we were programmed to experience life through our logical mind. With the New Aquarian age, we are shifting to a higher vibrational frequency of consciousness to perceive life not so much through thinking, but through feeling with our hearts. Feeling through our hearts opens us up to experience multi-dimensional realms and outcomes that we couldn’t possibly rationalize justify and explain with our limited linear minds. By experiencing, feeling and knowing the Truth through our hearts, we open up doors of wonderment, faith, belief, imagination and trust to co-create with the limitless and infinite power of God and the Angels. You know it is interesting when others are challenged when I speak my Truth about my angelic connection and they tell me that there is no scientific proof, I remind them that the majority of the world finds comfort, peace, empowerment, guidance, healing, and courage because of their connection to something that has never, ever been scientifically proven. Much of the world believes in God and will staunchly and vehemently defend their Truth in this higher invisible Source. And like God, much of the world believes in something that lifts our hearts, gives us joy, makes us feel more connected, and opens our hearts to live in peace, harmony, and unity. This thing that has never, ever been scientifically proven to exist is Love. And like the ‘unproven’ scientific proof of God and Love, the perceptions that many Lightworkers have experienced and know to be their Truth- whether they are connecting to ET’s, angels, faeries, unicorns or mermaids-we do not need to prove ourselves, defend ourselves, substantiate, corroborate, validate or show scientific proof for anything. The greatest thing we can do is to just be ourselves, to live our Truth, to tell our story, honestly, openly and transparently. By being the peaceful loving Spiritual warriors, standing in our Truth, we become the example of living a life of higher consciousness, as we shine our Truth to create a Truthful World.

You Are Famous, You Are a Success

At almost 91 years of age, my client Maggie had certainly lived a very full life. When she was in her 20’s, she had been chosen to be the singing voice for several major film stars in very successful movie musicals and she headlined as a singer on the radio. As her professional star was shining brightly and on the rise, she met her husband who was a famous jazz pianist. When they married, she decided to give up performing in order to raise their children and be supportive of her husband’s career. Wistfully she recalled her former achievements and all the possibilities of success that she had been presented with but that had not been realized. As she spoke, she frequently sighed, as if there was a heavy resignation sitting on her heart. With 4 small children, Maggie was pretty much housebound. Although she occasionally sang with her husband’s band, she was relegated to watching her husband’s career soar as he played for the legends of music like Aretha Franklin, Sammy Davis Jr., Pat Boone and Ella Fitzgerald. She went on to say that even though she was not performing, she desperately wanted to express her love of music; so she decided that she would teach voice lessons from her home. When I asked her how she felt about having decided to teach over performing, she replied that it provided her with an outlet to express her love of singing. But she said, “I guess the old saying is true, those that can, do and those that can’t teach. Teaching was fine, but it was nothing like performing. I really felt alive when I performed.” Sighing deeply again she said, “You know, I could have been famous, I could have been a success.” This longing of not having achieved fame was a constant weight she carried. During the remainder of our session together the Posse of Angels showed her, her life’s choices from a higher perspective. Her path to performing was actually blocked because of what she wrote into the contract of her life was of such immense importance; not only for herself, but for the lives of her countless students. Her passion, light, enthusiasm, and creative expression demonstrated an immense joy and had a transformative effect on her students. The Posse of Angels showed her that each student that was under her tutelage was like a light bulb which she helped turn on. They were so affected by her teaching and how it individually changed them that they went on to emulate these same qualities in their lives. During her 50+ years of teaching, many of her students went on to be international opera singers, musical directors, and Broadway performers and each one carried Maggie’s enormous light in their hearts as they illuminated the path of joy and passion for others to follow. With the insights from our Intuitive Counseling Session and the Angel Reiki Healing Session, shifting and lifting her resigned, stagnant energies off her heart, she said afterwards, “Candy, I do not know how to fully express my gratitude and appreciation for our session today. You and The Posse of Angels have given me the freedom and empowerment that I needed. At 91, I now feel like I have a new lease on life. I feel so much lighter, like a burden has been lifted off of my shoulders. I feel like I can fly again!" After Maggie’s session, I found her words, “You know, I could have been famous, I could have been a success” echoing over and over in my head. It got me to think, what does it really mean to be famous and how do each of us measure success. So, I asked the Posse of Angels for their heightened perspective on fame and success, and this is what they said: Firstly, The Posse of Angels laughed. And as I have mentioned before, they never laugh at us, but they laugh with us. They began by stating that when we ask to be famous and successful, we are asking for that which we already are. Being children of God, and coming from the purest most loving Source, we are infinite, limitless and Divine; whole and complete just as we are. On some level, be it conscious or unconscious, we know this in the deepest core of our souls. It is irrefutable that we are famous and successful at being who we are; for there is no other soul or person in any space, time, and dimension like us! We know this when we are born and we retain this knowing while we are very young children. Children say and do things not to be quoted or noted for what they do, but they are motivated to act and to speak directly from their hearts. A child’s identity is allowing themselves to be who they authentically are. It is unfortunate that when some children get older, they become re-programmed to believe that they are no longer famous and successful for just being who they are. This message of not being enough, finds them turning their attention outward in order to attain or achieve something in order to determine identity. This is bizarre, as the highest Source possible, God, created us from pure Divine Source and made us enough in the first place. We do not have to produce or create anything in order to be Divine; in order to be who we are. Once we turn our attention outside of ourselves to receive recognition, external forces start to impose their ideas of what success and fame means. We look to the outside world to determine whether we are worthy and deserving of not just being who we are, but ultimately, for existing in the first place. Now The Posse of Angels wants to remind us that as humans, we are pure intention and there is nothing wrong with having goals that we would like to achieve. But, what is most important is that we do not lose the forest for trees by losing our sense of who we are, with or without the achievement of said fame or success. For no matter what fame and recognition we realize, the luster and the thrill from that achievement will eventually die down and it will be replaced with some other goal, dream or intention to succeed at. The Posse of Angels is saying that ‘this is so’ because this is how human nature works. And if we need that constant outside validation and so-called ‘hit’ of fame or success in order to get our sense of identity, then the eventual high from that attainment will wear off and we will quickly turn to the next big thing to get our identity from. And once fame and success fades away, so does your belief in who you divinely are. To be human and not to lose one’s sense of self in the process of attaining our goals and dreams is no small feat. And great goals and dreams in life, demand great sacrifices in order to obtained. But along the journey to those dreams, it is imperative that we do not lose who we divinely are and we take our achievements in stride. An example of not being carried away with one’s fame and success came from an article I read recently about where actors keep their Oscars that they have won. The actress Emma Thompson, who keeps her two academy awards on a shelf in her bathroom, says she does this in order to help keep her perception in check about being famous. Unlike many others who achieve fame, Emma is one of those actors who had a solid sense of self before she became famous. By understanding who she was before fame arrived, she was able to not let fame define her. Each of us was formed by God as a unique expression of fame and success and sent into this human incarnation with a full tool kit to build, imagine and create a glorious life. The more we bring forth our gifts and talents and creatively and passionately share them with the world, we will connect with the fame that is already part of our Divine inherent nature. By doing so, our success is felt by doing what we do well, without any thought being famous. And The Posse of Angels is reminding all of us that a life lived with passion, creativity, joy, love and integrity even if it lacks the publicized perception of fame and success is like a radiant bright star that not only lights a path for others to follow, but also shines a heavenly light for the angels to dance by.

The Lightworkers Next Important Step

Have you noticed that there has been a major shift that has gone on for the last 5-6 weeks? The powerful eclipses of April 25, May 10 and May 25th shined their intense light to help us transform into the highest ideal that we have for ourselves. In transforming ourselves, many have been guided to let go of relationships and choices that were no longer for our highest good. By freeing ourselves from those people and things that are not in direct alignment with our highest vision, we opened the doors for new relationships to manifest in our lives. And while the energies of these influential eclipses affected everyone, it was the role of the Lightworkers, and in particular the first way showers, that were most affected by it. Now, you may be asking, ‘How does one know if they are a first way shower?’ Well if you have been living a conscious life of awareness and been putting your emphasis on promoting peace, love and unity, then you most probably are part of this first wave. As people rapidly shift, they will be hungry for answers to their spiritual questions, and it is the first way showers that they will turn to for support and inspiration. With this in mind, has your journey as a Lightworker changed since you awakened and is it different to what you first expected?” My own journey began with my Walk-In experience in 2003, and beside the fact that I was ungrounded; I was naïve to think that helping the Planet to enlighten would be an easy thing to accomplish. My gentle, angelic nature thought, “When each individual is presented with love rather than fear, of course the world will embrace this change.” How innocent was I!!! I can hear the Posse of Angels, my angelic family, laughing; of course their laughing with me and not at me. They are saying that ignorance is bliss, and perhaps that is correct in this instance. For if many of the Lightworkers knew at the start, how much effort, money, energy and time they would be putting into holding the light for others, they probably would have given up a long time ago. The disparity of our expectations of what we thought we would have achieved by now, compared to what has manifested, has seen many Lightworkers who are disheartened and disappointed. And for many, the level of enthusiasm that we once had to help enlighten the Planet may have waned. In fact, I recently discussed this subject with my dear friend Catherine who said to me, “Candy you are still like an excitable child, having incarnated as a Walk-In only 10 years ago. You are still hungry to get out there and keep spreading the message of love, peace and unity. I have been doing this since the 1960’s, and I am just bone weary and exhausted.” Now, not everyone has clocked up the number of spiritual miles as my dear friend. But there have been many who have invested so much of themselves as Spiritual Teachers and established businesses as Healing Practitioners that are lamenting their lack of success, financial rewards or real tangible accomplishments up until now. And it is understandable why many Lightworkers have lost heart and have judged their lives harshly, because they have not seen the physical manifestation of their expectations appearing ‘yet’ in their lives. And the Posse of Angels is emphasizing this word ‘yet’ because what is presently occurring on an energetic level on the Planet, is about to be, what some may call, a game changer. As a result of the energetic frequencies of the three eclipses, our beloved Planet Earth will see the numbers of people awakening to consciousness, rapidly spread in the millions. And those numbers will keep on increasing even further as we go through June. With the consciousness on the Planet dramatically rising, many of us that have held a high frequency will now be able to be heard, seen and perceived by others. As more and more people shift, they will be in alignment with our higher dimensional frequency. Our writings, books, public speaking and creative projects which have seemed to be held back for no darn good reason, will be green lit as the people and opportunities will show up now with ease and grace to help us manifest the fulfillment of our desires. The Posse of Angels is saying that it is really simple to understand why we were seemingly held back; as the world was not energetically and consciously ready to receive us before. The Posse keeps telling me that June is show time; as we will be called to assist others along their newly shifted spiritual paths. But, The Posse of Angels is really emphasizing that compared to what we did before; we will be serving in a very different way for ourselves and the world around us. For much like my dear friend Catherine, many of us are weary of carrying energies for others in order to create a New World. And while for many years, we were happy to help, save and enable others as they shifted into higher consciousness, many of us will be thrilled to learn that this is no longer our primary role. Throughout past years, we moved as a collective consciousness to bring as many people as possible on board the train of enlightenment. But with these powerful eclipses, we are being asked to serve in a different capacity. The only responsibility we have to the Planet now is a very personal one; as we are being asked to stay in the energies of what feels best for us. Your decision and your choices will serve the Planet best if you stay in the energies of joy and love. And because we all have different fingerprints, how that physically manifests will look different for each and every one of us. Now you might think with so many people waking up on the Planet, how you can use your experience to save, and enable others. But just like it was vastly important for all first way showers to ultimately learn to discover our true, authentic selves and what makes us joyful and filled with love, it is paramount that we let the second wave of Lightworkers figure this out for themselves. Yes, be compassionate, be kind, be loving and be supportive but, ultimately,let them figure it out for themselves! And the Posse of Angels are saying that we, the first wave of Lightworkers, are so weary and exhausted having held the light for so many for so long, that we get to retire into a life of just focusing on joy and love. Now there are some out there who still have the energy and deep desire to teach and mentor the next wave of awakened Lightworkers. And if this really feels joyful to you, then by all means, go for it. But the Posse of Angels are stressing that we need to allow others to work through their deepest fears by themselves. The vision that the Posse is showing me is that of the phoenix bird rising from the ashes after being burned in the fire; as many of us went through immense challenges and dark nights of our own soul, to have arisen wiser, stronger, and more peaceful and loving as a result of enduring our struggles and trials. As the first wave of Lightworkers, we had to explore our own deep pain, fear, sadness, bitterness, regret, resentment and anger in order to transmute and transcend them. We have graduated and do not need to fall back into that process again by saving others as they go through it. Our role as the first wave ambassadors of Lightworkers is to tell our story and shine our example out to the world of what we have endured and the challenges we have overcome. And the more we do this with joy, unconditional love and passion the more we will be the example and inspiration for others to follow. And believe me; if you are a part of the first wave of Lightworkers, you have an incredible, special and unique story of how you transmuted your own fear, judgment and un-forgiveness into love and joy. And the more you share your story with others, in whatever ever way you choose; it will give others the strength to transmute their own fears into love. The Posse of Angels is saying that we first wave of Lightworkers have done what no other collective has ever done on the Planet before. We have elevated love and joy to such a heightened level, that it has made it possible for others to shift and enlighten into consciousness as well. God and the angels are so proud of your accomplishments and encourage you to embrace your story and share it with others in whatever way you are most passionate about. By living in pure joy and love in every moment, you will not only create your own individual Heaven on Earth, but you will be the shining example for others to go forth and create their own Heaven on Earth. Have fun sharing your unique and marvelous story with a now, listening and awaiting world!

Write A New Story For Your Life

Many of us have come to a significant juncture in our life’s journey and it has all to do with several things that have occurred as a collective consciousness. The first part of this grand journey was for all of us to remember our Divine eternal natures. To help us with this, many of us spent our time, focus and money at New Age Shops. Whether we spent our time devouring spiritual books, videos like ‘The Secret’, or attended spiritual workshops, all of these things were helping us to remember the spiritual wisdom that we were already born with. Once this remembering of our spiritual wisdom was done, many of us felt compelled to share our newly awakened awareness with others. We then embarked on an immense time of service, devotion, and helping others through our work as Life Coaches, Reiki Master/Teachers and Angel Practitioners like myself, and Motivational Speakers, just to name a few. Then, the energy from that immense phase of helping others began to very noticeably recede. And The Posse of Angels tells me that it began to recede around September 2011, as the Universe asked us to turn the mirror back on ourselves and re-ignite OUR dreams and desires by bringing forth our creative talents. This saw a veritable flood of Lightworkers begin to publish their books, create YouTube videos, attack the social network markets with podcasts, and webinars, write newsletters and blogs, and some even created their own radio programs…just like me. In order for us to have arrived at this most important threshold of new beginnings, The Posse of Angels is saying that this never would have occurred unless we decided to write a new story for our lives. Reviewing our past literary efforts, many of us can clearly see that the chapters that we had previously penned were written with a much darker ink. This stands to reason as much of the content that we focused on was heavy and written with a disheartened, disappointed and an unfulfilled pen. Looking back over the story of my life before I awakened, I can clearly see that what I wrote for my story was filled with fear, low self-worth and self-denial. Re-reading those past chapters, I saw that they had to be released as its dark content no longer resonated with the level of light that I now embrace. So when it came to re-writing chapters of my story, I went about releasing my abusive marriage, and released the predictable programmed way that I was allowing myself to live other people’s visions for my life. Once the pages were released, I stared at a new blank page, and that scared the heck out of me. It had been so easy to allow others to tell me what to write and determine the content of my book of life. But now the power was all in my hands and I decided to write what I wanted to read about in the future. Along with choosing the content for my own story, I decided to write with a very different pen. I chose to write with a fearless pen, a pen that was authentic and empowered. As a result of this, my new chapters took on a very different feel. Suddenly my life went from being a predictable tale of blame, having written myself as the victim, to turning my story into an adventure/thriller. My story became one in which the heroine, me, lives life on her own terms and faces the thrills, spills, challenges and triumphs of living a life without compromise. Reading over the new chapters of my book of life, some of the chapters were quite sad, while others were happy, joy filled and exciting. Like any good novel, my story now contained moments of struggles, perilous uncertainty, and renewed faith in myself and God. These then lead to restored hope and overwhelming achievements, successes, and victories. Now, was writing a new story of my life easy? No and Yes. The hardest part was deciding whether I was going to stop writing my life with fear and limitation as my main characters. Once I chose to change my main characters to faith, courage and strength of my convictions, an intriguing tale turned into a whole different novel. Having now written new chapters for the story of my life for over 10 years ago, I see that in each moment of every day, I have the ability to edit and alter my story. Realizing that the power lies in the wielding of my own pen, I know that life does not’ just’ randomly happen to us, as we are always choosing what to write. Some people love to write about drama, tragedy and conflict and they seem to derive such joy from being stuck in a loop of being a victim and speaking about chaos, heresy and gossip. The chapters of these people’s stories almost always contain lots of judgment, with very little resolution and a whole lot of blame and fault finding. Then there are other writers who choose to look on the bright side of life, and write content that is uplifting, inspiring and elevates the soul. These people do not necessarily have an easier life, but it is their choice to change their perspective and write about their experiences as blessings, which makes their stories inspirational reading. The Posse of Angels is asking, ‘So what kind of story have you written for your life so far?” Is it one that you love reading, or do you prefer to hide the story of your life in some dusty attic or forgotten area of the basement. If we have previously chosen to write a story that was written with a sad, fearful pen of limitation, it is vastly important to go back, wipe off that dusty book and re-read those chapters. For it is in the re-reading that we will acknowledge the struggles, the pain and the heartache that we endured and, so often, pushed us to get us to the stage of writing a whole new story. When I go back and re-read what I wrote for myself before I awakened, I am not embarrassed; but I am so proud of myself as to how far I have come. I have had many clients tell me that they have a book inside of themselves, but just have not written it yet. They look at my beautiful book 'Angles of Faith' and they ask how did I go about writing it and what preparation did I do.” Quite simply, I tell them that, “A writer writes.” An inspired writer does not think so much with their mind about what they are going to write, as allow themselves to feel the story in their heart and then co-create with the greatest author of all, God, in order to pen their story together. When I chose to stop writing myself in my story as the victim, always blaming and finding fault in others, and I started to write myself in my story as the triumphant, successful heroine, my life began anew. The characteristics that I write for myself as the heroine are joyful, childlike, adventuresome, curious, brave, authentic, truthful and fearless. My heroine chooses to script chapters that are positive, challenging, passionate, loving, non-judgmental, forgiving, and filled with my faith in myself, God and the angels. As a result of this, the novel of my life is an unbelievable best seller and the sequels to come are even more astounding. And if you have not started to write a new story for yourself, start today. For your new extraordinary life cannot begin if you keep writing the same less than desired content, with the same less than desired characters and pen. Happy writing!

Re-Invent Your Life

For those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, spring is definitely in the air. Spring traditionally represents fresh, new beginnings, re-generation and a surge of hope. Like the first tiny buds that optimistically begin to appear after a cold winter, we also begin to feel a sense of optimism and re-newal after a long time of hibernation. And even though ‘spring fever’ is upon us and a feeling of expectation is in the air, many are feeling like an energetic force is weighing us down; bringing in self-doubts and uncertainty. I don’t know about you, but ever since the beginning of the year there have been times that I have felt like I have been pushing molasses along a flat surface. With more effort being put in to our dreams coming true and few results to show for it, I thought I would share some insight as to what is contributing to this sloooow down. One of the reasons for this is that Mars, the planet of energy, and action, started to go backwards on January 24th and halted much of our forward motion. Basically it feels like our get up and go, got up and went. When this planet goes in re-verse, we definitely feel like we are spinning our wheels and going nowhere fast. The frustration many have been feeling, has deflated our optimistic bubble and tested our faith to the max. Like many others, my first reaction was to just to try a little harder, push more and put in extra time on phone calls and computer with greater social media attention. But several weeks ago, I received a series of rather persistent visitations from the fairies that kept telling me, just to do the opposite. (A lot of you know that I work with and belong to a group of angels called The Posse. Yet, the fairies do bring me messages from time to time. God bless them for all the incredible work that they do in looking after Mother Nature!0 Firstly, they told me that as of March 2nd, this Moon in Cancer is urging us to rest, go within and do some much needed introspective work. This ‘downtime’ until March 22nd, is very important, as it will allow us to really hone in on what is causing irritation in our lives. This much needed attention will help us to once and for all acknowledge the beauty in the irritation, in order to thank it, bless it and finally release it. When the new Moon arrives on the 22nd of March, it will shine a light on how we chose to perpetuate any irritations in our lives and prevented them from being resolved. The fairies told me to be sure to pay attention to what is bothering me over the next week, for they said that this may be the very thing that is about to be radically transformed. To help us, the fairies imparted some advice that will help us to turn within and get in touch with our necessary inner work. (****Please note that there is not one mention of spending more time on FaceBook, LinkedIn, or going to networking groups.) Get outside and be in nature. When the fairies started to converge upon me 2 weeks ago, they led me to Culver City Park; where I discovered a wooden elevated ramp set in the side of a tree lined hill. As one gets higher, there are beautiful views of downtown LA, Century City and one can see all the way to Marina Del Rey. (As testament to how beautiful this walk is, I gave up my gym membership and walk it almost every single day.) Please note-While you walk, take the time to really connect with nature and become aware of the signs and messages that the fairies and Mother Nature are sending you. For instance, I have seen very large grasshoppers on my last few walks. I know that the Metaphysical significance of grasshopper is that it is associated with astral travel. The message from Mr. Grasshopper is that we are not limited to just this physical dimension and knowing this wisdom tells me that there are no obstacles. When the grasshopper appears, we are being asked to take a leap of faith and jump forward into a specific area of life or venture without fear; as it will be successful. Usually that specific area is one that we have avoided and is often connected to change on a larger scale concerning location, relationships, or careers. I also know that grasshoppers can only jump forward. In this way he was reaffirming that I am taking the right steps to move forward in my current situation. No wonder the grasshopper is the symbol of good luck all over the world. On other days, I have had ladybugs land on me as I walk along. Because this little cutie bug’s life cycle is short; as it is only around 4 weeks, its energies are tied to renewal and regeneration. Its limited time on Earth sends a powerful message of how important it is to release worries and enjoy our lives to the fullest. I guess if this wee creature could speak, it would say, “Let go and Let God.” Often seen as a sign of promise, the Ladybug helps to restore our trust and faith in the Divine and it is a great sign to get out of our own way and let God enter into our lives. And all this wisdom, from a little polka dotted bug!!! And lastly, I have seen lots of lizards. And by the way, what are they thinking about as they bask in the sun? They are dreaming their dreams into reality. Lizards for me have always been a sign to spend more time and energy on visualizing my dreams in order for them to manifest in my physical world. And these scaly little fellows may be very good at hiding physically, but they are no slouches when it comes to using the power of their voices. Lizards are a great reminder to speak up and be heard. And with the little lizard being associated to the element of Fire, it is definitely urging us to step forward and take action, when the timing is intuitively right. Knowing that signs just like these and others are waiting for me, I cannot wait to go for my walk and see what messages I will be given. And although you may come across a lizard yourself and begin to power up your voice, there is caution on the horizon. You see Mercury, the planet of communication goes retrograde on March 12th. When Mercury is traveling forward, it is said that communications of all kinds, phone, internet, fax, SKYPE etc are clear, understandable and arrive in a timely fashion. Yet when this Planet begins to travel backwards, as it will be doing from March 12th to April 4th, all kinds of communications can go astray, be misunderstood, and misconstrued. So instead of communicating outward, use the next 4 weeks as an amazing blessing from the Universe. It is giving us a marvelous opportunity to be still and not only clean house, but all other areas in our lives. During these re-trogrades, we now have the opportunity to re-view, re-search, re-visit, re-write and re-work what is not working in our lives. With this gift of quiet, where we would be otherwise occupied, we now have the time to re-consider where we are putting our energies and focus. It is a great chance to re-flect on what is not working for us, and re-consider what is truly important. So until these re-trogrades are moving forward again, have fun re-connecting with Mother Nature and see what messages and signs the fairies have in store for you. Let me know what you find on your walks. Love and Blessings, Claire Candy Hough 831 277 3716 candy@angelhealinghouse.com www.angelhealinghouse.com

Love of Self

With one of my radio shows scheduled for Tuesday mornings at 11am, I took note that it was Valentine’s Day, and centered the topic around Love of Self. Actually, the angels were very amused with the whole Valentine’s Day thing. They asked me, “Why don’t humans have a National Breathing Day?” and “Why isn’t there a National Beating of your Heart Day?” Both of these things happen naturally and most of the time they occur without us realizing it. I guess their point is that to love and to be loved is a natural thing that all human beings have, and that we can have love in our lives in any second that we choose. But most of the time, we are so dead set on preaching to the Universe how love is supposed to be in our lives, that we diminish and close off the possibilities of how and when we can experience love. If we buy into the vision of love perpetuated by the greeting card companies, the chocolate makers, the florists and the jewelers, we can get caught up in a very commercialized form of love that is built around conditions and expectations. For instance, some of these conditions might be that: • my partner loves me if he buys me flowers. Or, • if he really loves me, he will buy me flowers and a diamond ring. Or, • if he truly loves me the most, he will buy me flowers, a diamond ring, a new Ferrari and a villa in the South of France. The whole point is that once we start to play this game, it is difficult to know where to stop. You might be chuckling to yourself, but there was a time in my life that I was associated with people who were just like this. They were so caught up in climbing the social ladder of ‘who could acquire the most’ that they were materially blinded to anything remotely associated with feeling rich by connecting to their free emotion of love within. Appropriating a single day to show love is so insanely ludicrous because at the most profound depth of whom we are as human beings, is the fact that WE ARE LOVE in every single second! In fact, we are so inextricably linked with God that even if we do not think we are love, this connection of divine love always exits underneath any false premise that we choose to perpetuate. And if it is dormant and asleep within us, love can be re-awakened in the blink of an eye. And counter to what all the great romance novels and romantic movies have shown us, love does not happen because of who we are with, love happens because of who we are. But, it can only happen with our permission. Many times , we deny that we are love because we are replaying old programming of taking to heart someone else’s words that caused us to feel not worthy, not deserving or like we somehow didn’t measure up. But deep within, underneath any negative belief system, regardless of what you have done, what you have received and who you are, the angels want to remind you that you are: More Beautiful , more Powerful and more Magnificent than you could possibly ever imagine. Just for the record, my Posse of angels and I want to remind you that you are a child of God and adored and loved, not only on a specific day, but on every single second of every single day, month and year since you were born and before you were born. This is not dependent on what you are given, what you own, what you drive, what you wear or if you ever produce, achieve or even create anything. This love is indisputable, unconditional, constant and un-wavering. How extraordinarily fortunate are we!!! If your life is not representative of these words, it is because you have forgotten who you are and are allowing external expectations and conditions to dictate how and if you are to be loved. Actually the hardest I have ever seen the angels weep, is for those clients who have completely forgotten who they are; as they are denying their divine love inside. Because when we forget who we are, we stop loving ourselves and stop seeing ourselves as having any importance. Once we stop acknowledging our importance, we then begin to seek and find our identity in other people and things outside of ourselves. This is giving our power away. Over the last 10 years, through my business, Angel Healing House, I have lost count of all the clients who have gone through relationship breakdowns that have said that they need their ex to feel loved; as they feel so empty without them. The clients are rightfully empty as most of their relationships were co-dependent and they did very little to nurture and nourish their own self-worth. Once their partner leaves them, they fall pretty heavily, as they have been leaning on the other person for their sense of love. One of the greatest ways that I find to keep reminding me about ‘Love of Self’ is by honoring and respecting who I am. I do this by honoring and encouraging my unique gifts and talents. You know, there might be others out there with similar gifts, but there never has been another me, with my set of unique fingerprints. And nobody does things in quite the same way that I do them. This reminds me of when I wrote my beloved book ‘Angels of Faith.” I could have said, “Why write a book, there already have been lots of books written about angels.” But I knew in my heart that there never had been, never is and never will be another book written with the same energies and intention that mine was written with. Once you allow this feeling of uniqueness to permeate through you, you begin to value your contribution to yourself, others and to the Planet. You begin to see yourself as an integral part of life and you find joy in making yourself a priority. Not at the expense of anyone else, but you begin to see that your dreams and desires are just as significant as any others. So remember, if you were disappointed by Valentine’s Day or any other day, ask yourself where in your life that you can put more focus and attention on the creation of your importance. Perhaps you could: Write that book that you have inside yourself? Dare to switch to a more honoring job? Honor your gifts and talents and share them with the world. And if your woke up Valentine’s morning and did not find your new Ferraris parked in your garage, or your breakfast tray did not come with two plane tickets to your villa in the South of France, remember that love is not something that you are given or have to search for, love is something that you already are. Until next time, remember that by having a life-long love affair with yourself, it will constantly bring you the richest fulfillment from the inside out.

Magic in Our Lives Happens 'Off List'

Two weeks into the December holiday season, and the frenzy of people’s activities seem to be escalating with each passing day. With all the ‘to do’s’ such as decorating, planning social functions, cooking and baking, gift and re-gift giving, the proverbial list can get very long at this time of year. With all of these activities and many more, are you making your lists and checking them twice? I used to do that. I would diligently make lists and feel so much better as things got crossed off. Years ago, my life was so structured that I had a Day Runner organizer for my Filofax. I was constantly buying inserts, with tabs and plastic sections to prioritize organize and arrange my days. My life was so obsessively well ordered, that I had lists for my lists; as I desperately clung to controlling life. (From a higher perspective, I now know that because I allowed others to take control of my life, I tried to cling desperately to this one area that I ‘seemingly’ had control over.) Don’t get me wrong. While there is great joy in seeing one’s efforts and actions manifest in the accomplishment of tasks, it is really important to remember that the most amazing, miraculous things that occur in life happen off list. It reminds me of the amazing way I met my Twin-Flame, Pete. (A Twin Flame is the only other person in any space, time or dimension who is the divine completion of who you are. They are very different to soul mate relationships that come in with drama, irritation, agitation and push our buttons. Having drawn my own Twin-Flame to myself, I created the ‘Twin-Flame Relationship Workshop’ (which I will be presenting on Sunday, January 22, 2012 at 10:30 am in Culver City call 831 277 3716 for details) that explains the difference between soul mate relationships and Twin-Flame relationships and includes the very practical, grounded tools that I used in my life to manifest my own Twin-Flame.) In January of 2003, after I had found the inner strength and courage to honor and respect myself enough to leave a destructive and deceitful abusive relationship, I decided to write a decree to God. Before writing this very powerful sacred pact with Divine Source, I voiced aloud that I would never ever compromise myself and give my power away when it came to love. When I went on to create this decree and write down exactly who would manifest in my life, it was as if the pen, the voice of the Divine, and myself were writing it together. Upon completion of the decree, I saw it as a very important letter and slept with it under my pillow and read it out morning and night. Just as important was the fact that I showed God, that my actions, the words I chose to use and the feelings in my heart continually reflected a higher Source. In so doing, I lifted my vibrational energies physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. As I faithfully and consistently followed this daily and nightly routine, my clairvoyant vision began to pick up that I was going to meet my Twin-Flame by water. At that time, I lived across from the Broadwater on the magnificent stretch of beach called Surfers Paradise, along the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia. So what did I do?? I bought the sexiest exercise outfit and walked for miles along the waterside esplanade every single day, thinking that I would meet him there for sure. Well I never did meet him along the esplanade, as my limited linear mind had told me it was going to happen. Through a set of unbelievable, synchronistic happenings, our paths divinely came together in a series of events that no detailed list could ever have scripted. (I go into details and recount these miraculous events at The Twin-Flame Relationship Workshop.) But suffice it to say that we met on a Saturday and Pete wanted to ask to marry me after 3 days, but waited until 5 days later to pop the question. Ten days after, I moved to his lovely beach home and two months to the day that we met, we were married on the beautiful stretch of coast. Over my years as a clairvoyant and psychic, my angels and guides have told me that the most amazing things happen off list because they want us to be surprised and astonished at the wonder and enchantment of our wishes and dreams manifesting for us. (After all, if we knew exactly how and when things were going to happen, we would miss out on the magic and excitement of life’s journey.). All we need to do is to place our intentions for what we desire for ourselves, set them firmly in our hearts, and have the complete faith and trust in God/Universe/Source that all our prayers will be answered in Divine ways and in Divine timing.. Yet, what if your faith and trust in yourself has been sorely tested and diminished because of a broken heart, hurt, sadness, anger, bitterness, resentment, and regrets? Through my practice, Angel Healing House, I have helped so many people with relationship issues; as they have found themselves constantly replaying compromise in order to be loved, giving their power away and/or finding themselves being used or controlled by someone dear to them. In the majority of cases, this has lead them to close down their hearts to receive love in their lives. With the combined healing Reiki sessions and Intuitive Counseling, my clients clearly understand why they have sabotaged love from coming into their lives and how to practically restore faith and trust in themselves in order to manifest and experience authentic, honest and honoring love. This holiday season as you are checking things off your list, remember to open yourself to the limitless possibilities of the magic of life that only occurs off list. Wishing you boundless opportunities to experience synchronicities wonder and miracles during this Holiday season and throughout the year!!!
