Archangel Gabriel's Messages to the World

Namaste.

Since 1990, Archangel Gabriel has been sending me messages to share with others. These messages are filled with compassion, wisdom and often humor. Some of these messages are now offered in my new book, The Gabriel Messages, just published by O-Books this month of February 2009. My book offers daily inspiration, some I would enjoy sharing in this blog.

Blogging is a new adventure for me, taking me from the meditation seat, out into the world of internet blogging. I welcome feedback, and will continue to place messages from Archangel Gabriel on a weekly basis.

Blessings to all, Shanta Gabriel

2009 – A Message from Archangel Gabriel

Dear Ones,

We are going to give you the way to have world peace and a solution to the economic crisis in your life. Now that we have your attention, we want to welcome you to 2009, the new year of the Angels. 2009 adds up to 11, a master number bringing the divine to earth, and it is the number of the Angelic Dimensions. This means you have more help that ever before for every situation facing you at this pivotal time.

When the world of appearance is so chaotic, there is only one place where you can go to most easily find peace and the answers you are seeking – that is within your being. This year we will support in a new way this trek to the inner world where the Light of God dwells. It does, however, require your participation.

What we will tell you may not be new information. We also urge you to not let what we are asking of you this year fool you with its simplicity. The affects will be profound. In order to benefit your life, and help create the world you most want to live in, we are asking you to develop what has been called the “Witness Consciousness.” This prepares you to notice the world around you without reaction. When you can temper your responses to outward appearance, you begin to feel much happier and have more peace in your life. As the saying goes, it is not what is happening to you that causes emotional pain, but your response to it.

The winter season helps draw you inward for a time of contemplation so you can learn to center yourself. When you are more centered you can step back from the drama around you, and begin to be a peaceful witness. A good place to begin is the practice of an ancient and simple tool to calm anxiety called “The Balanced Breath.” You can do this even when you drive. When you draw your breath in for the same number of counts that you breathe out, it helps calm the mind and begins the centering process. It is like developing a muscle. With a little practice, you will feel more peaceful in the instant you draw an intentional breath.

We are also asking you to create a “Sacred Space” in your home where you can go every day to seek this inner peace. Your sacred space need not be elaborate, but the creation of a beautiful, clean, uncluttered space for you to sit will help calm your mind very quickly. You might choose a corner with a chair that is comfortable for you, or you might prefer to sit on the floor. We recommend a table where you can light a candle for peace. When you light a candle with an intention that more Divine Light fills the world, you perform a profound service and increase the vibrational frequency where you are sitting. Science has proven that a higher frequency of energy is more soothing and calms the mind, so this simple act blesses you and the world around you. Flowers also raise vibrational frequencies, and carry the energy of growth and inspiration as they help you connect more deeply to the spirit of Nature. If you place one flower in a vase next to the candle you have as your focal point, you are creating a beautiful sacred space in your home where you can BE.

Learning to BE is an essential component for a happy life this new year. Many structures people have relied on are crumbling, and great change is in process. When you learn how to calm yourself and allow yourself to BE before you do, it actually will profoundly improve your life, as well as the world you live in. This being nature within you is a very quiet place that can be accessed when you give yourself time in the sacred space you have created in your home. The more you do this, the more peaceful you will feel. Happiness begins within you, not in your outer circumstances. When you sit in your sacred space, and intentionally give yourself time to breathe in a conscious manner, you are breathing in Divine Light. It will enhance your experience when you imagine yourself breathing in Golden Light with every breath. Science has proven that the visual images you use can be as affective as direct action. This is a powerful tool, so that with your breath you are sending Divine Golden Light to every cell and fiber of your being. This light literally carries the qualities of consciousness that you have been praying for, so for example, you breathe in Divine Love with every breath, and you send Peace into the world as you breathe out.

It need not take a long time to sit and breathe consciously, but it will create profound change within you. This sacred space in a quiet corner of your home will become your most valuable asset in the coming year. In the midst of change, you have a place to go where you can feel at peace. Soon you will only have to think of your sacred space, and with a breath you will be there in your mind. Imagine how this will improve your life, as well as the lives of others. One person centered in the Light of Peace can create a profound shift in the world around them, because they hold a higher vibrational frequency and radiate calm, centered thoughts.

The Angels are messengers of God and offer qualities of consciousness that people crave in their lives, such as Peace, Harmony, Love, Clarity, and Wisdom. You can invite these qualities into your life, and the Angelic Dimensions will strengthen the Light connecting you to those qualities. It is a profoundly prayerful way to live. A prayer need not be difficult or wordy, nor be said in a particular way that some religions have dictated in the past. Prayers also seem to work better when you give yourself time to receive what you are asking for. It is not that saying, “Help Angels, bring me Peace, quickly right now!” would not be useful, but just imagine what might occur if your prayer flowed more like this:

“Dear God, (or Goddess, Divine Presence, All that Is, Spirit, etc.)

Thank you for bringing Divine Light into my being. I ask the Angels of Grace and Divine Love to so fill me with Light that I have more Peace in every area of my life. I bless my family, my work and the planet with this Light right now, and I am profoundly grateful. Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you.
Amen (or you can use a less traditional closure such as, So be it or So it is).”

Now, stay where you are, and breathe for a few minutes. As you breathe in a more balanced manner, breathing in the same number of counts that you breathe out, your heart begins to beat more slowly, and you feel calmer. This allows you to be the sacred witness rather than embroiled in drama. Let your prayers express your true feelings, as well as your gratitude for all you are learning. In these simple ways you empower your life. So in this new year of 2009, create a sacred space where you can gracefully dwell with the Angels.

When you dedicate yourself to becoming a sacred witness, you open the way to more peace in your life. Your prayers are a beacon calling to you the Light and Wisdom you seek. Your breath is a prayerful thought that blesses all beings. And you become what is so needed right now, a Light to the world.

And so it is.
