A little reminder from the Angelic Community

Love is and so are you.  Divinity exists in all things – and so do you.  You are divine.  You are holy.  You are also a creation of Divinity’s mind.  You see, just as you would imagine a picture that you paint, Divinity or Love created you as a reflection of its thoughts and meanderings.  Just as you would want to capture an essence, a feeling or just something beautiful, so has Divinity created you.  You are not alone and never can be alone.  It is impossible to think of the concept “alone” for us.  It simply does not compute!  For even when you are stranded on a desert island, you are among friends.  The sands, the waters, the fish, the trees, the birds, the sunshine, the oxygen molecules are all with you.  And that is just on the physical realm or level!  Stop for a moment and consider where you are among the stars, among the spirit world.  Please understand there is nothing more important for you to know right know than that you are not and never can be alone, unassisted or unsupported.  That is simply impossible.  Is a drop of water alone?  No, because it can be evaporated back into the atmosphere from which it was formed and be used again to create another raindrop.  Matter is neither created nor destroyed – it simply IS and always will be.  You are no different.  Your energy, your spirit is like the drop of water. 

Give thanks for your uniqueness, and share your talents with others. Serve humanity and the earth.  Many Blessings!

My Declaration of Divinity

Okay, so you've been listening to Talk-n-Angels Radio Show and you hear me talking about how the angels and guides have given me direct downloads of wisdom and understanding.  I have heard their messages.  I talk to them every day.  I fully understand their love for us and God's love for us.  Now it's time for me, Rita Strough, to make my own declaration of Divinity.

I hold these truths to be self evident, that all people are Divine Beings, infinitely perfect, timeless, free, intelligent, whole, fully supported, blessed, cherished, and loved beyond human capacity to understand love.

I am a divine being, and so are you.

I am beautiful, and so are you.

I am powerful, and so are you.

I am filled with light and love, and so are you.

I resonate peace, and so do you.

  

Living here, now, I vow to pay attention to everything in my experience:  my thoughts, my feelings, my desires.  I vow to listen with attention and to speak thoughtfully knowing that words are most powerful when spoken with intention.

I vow to give of myself every day, freely and joyously, knowing that this could be my last day here on earth. 

I devote myself to seeing the best in people and situations. 

We are born here to learn, to love and to be angels to one another. 

I choose to live in Love and imagine a world filled with peaceful beings, cooperating in harmonious unity, to fulfill our dreams, fully engaged with our spiritual family of angels and light beings, enjoying our duality of heaven and earth, spirit and flesh, co-creating our world. 

Set forth this day, December 6, 2011

What's Your Practice?

As with anything worthwhile, to achieve your desires, you require practice.  A pianist requires practice every day to achieve the ability to play flawlessly.  A painter requires practice to understand more fully the use of the medium to create art.  A martial artist requires continual practice, each time stretching the boundaries of what is possible, to achieve a state of supreme flexibility, unmatched strength and increasing awareness of surroundings and situations.   Practice applies to all great athletes, sales people, doctors, hair stylists, auto mechanics…whatever you do, whatever you practice becomes your daily practice and your specialty.

So too does the practice of tuning into spirit and communicating with your soul for the purpose of understanding yourself and your world.  As a practice, one must continually put forth effort and time to the practices of mind/body communion.  In this sense of the word, “communion” means that both the body and the mind are aware of each other – feeling each other – in a way that actual communication occurs.  Being that tuned into the body and that aware of the thoughts running through your mind is a practice that requires continual time and effort.  The “observer” of the body and the mind is the higher self, or soul, or spirit – whatever term you feel best describes it for you.  This “trinity” that is YOU, is responsible for all outer appearances and circumstances in your life.

The Great Mystery in which this trinity, this YOU lives also has an influence in your world.  For even though you were given the power to create your world, to change and to recreate yourself over and over again, the Great Mystery has a vast plan – a master plan – of which you are an irreplaceable part.  It is for this reason that there are often circumstances in your life that you cannot change, no matter how practiced you are at the art of mind/body/spirit awareness.  The Great Mystery will be using you in ways that you cannot predict or control.  This is where  trust and faith comes into the picture.  You must rely on trust and faith to KNOW without a shadow of a doubt that the Great Mystery has your best interests in mind when it uses you, as you were created, for the purpose for which IT designed you. 

When you give yourself over to those practices which bring you joy, you are following the instructions that were “coded” into you by the Great Mystery.  When people say, “Follow Your Dreams!” what they mean is that by doing what it is you always wanted to do you are doing what you were programmed to do.  If you deny yourself the practice of this passion, exercising your free will to choose to follow a different path, you most likely will feel very disoriented, stressed, and unfulfilled because that path does not resonate with your program.  However if you follow the path that makes you happiest, you will find joy and along the way, be confronted with situations that will test your resolve just to force you to stretch a little further – showing that you truly believe and desire this dream.  It is in these times of struggle that you are given the best opportunities to stretch and grow.

Continual practice allows you to move gracefully through these growth stages and not be derailed by fear or anger or frustration.  You will feel these emotions, but you will fall back on your practices to connect your awareness once again to your mind/body/spirit for clarification and guidance.  Exercises will come to you that will allow you to further process what is happening and you will achieve a state of peaceful awareness.  Remember to relax.  Relaxing into whatever is happening to you allows all of your creativity and energy to flow freely into the situation thereby relieving stress and returning you to a state of peace.

Whether your mind/body/spirit practice includes yoga or meditation, long walks in the woods, or simply staring at a flower, keep at it and remember that you are not alone in any of this noble work that you do.  At all times you are surrounded with angels and guides.  Loved ones who have dropped their bodies exist forever in Spirit and also come by to visit with you from time to time.  You can recall them instantly in your mind and spend a moment or two in communion with their spirits.  Learning how to do this is what the spiritual practice is all about.  It includes connecting your awareness or consciousness with all parts of yourself (mind/body/spirit), and reaching beyond yourself to connect with those in the Spirit realm who are here to assist you in your earthly journey. 

Intention, Focus, Action and Prayer (asking and allowing) are a practice.  Keep at it, for it is definitely worthwhile and life changing.
