			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>There are many stories about Angels and miracles.  Of course some of these stories date very far back in history and we first learn about them through the Holy Bible and also through the Holy Quoran yet sadly today we forget that these beautiful messengers from God really do exist. </strong>Some of us only remember at Christmas when we stick one of top of our Christmas tree, and I must admit so do I.   We confuse them  with fairies but that is a different story altogether.  How do I know?  Well here is my story about how a very special Angel changed my life and in turn, the lives of many others I have met along my journey.</p>
<p>About sixteen years ago my mother booked us on a holiday to Portugal. There was myself, my husband and three children, and my mother, her husband (John) and my brother Peter and his Clare.  We stayed in a beautiful villa and the holiday went well up until our last full day, when tragedy almost struck our holiday.  Towards the end of the holiday the weather took an unexpected turn for the worse.</p>
<p>It was my brother Peter’s birthday on the last day of the holiday and we decided because the sun was out we should spend it at the beach.  My two sons wanted the water park, so off they went with my husband and the rest of us took the long trek off to the beach; a small cove, only accessible via a staircase from one side of the rocks.  It was idyllic, the beach was empty and the sun was shining. Having a beach just for us seemed pretty lucky and quite incredible.</p>
<p>My step-father immediately stepped into the sea for a short swim. Being a coward it always takes me some time to venture into the water, so I stood watching with Mum for some time before I decided to take a further few steps and venture in.  After a few  more steps a big wave splashed over me so,  soaking wet,  in I went.  I only managed a few strokes when I realised that the undercurrent was too strong.  I turned round and tried to head back. Although I was only a few yards away from Mum who was still paddling, I panicked because I knew I could not get back.</p>
<p>What a feeling!!  Fear took over right away and I shouted to Mum.  Mum knew I was in trouble, she screamed up the beach to Peter and John, and they came running in to help.  Peter my brother picked me up like a rag doll and threw me towards the beach, but back I came like a piece of wood, being tossed further away from shore and towards the rocks.  I went down and under, my arms seemed paralyzed,  I could not breath right, I was hyper-ventilating.  Then another arm came down and dragged me up by my hair and threw me again.  The same thing happened though, my arms were like lead and my eyes were shut tight.  I did not even have the strength to open my eyes, it was very strange, and sad.  I knew I was going to die and I also knew that my brother and my step- father would not leave me so they would probably drown as well.</p>
<p>I could hear them both telling me to swim, but I had no energy and I knew it was time to go home.  I was not afraid at this moment, just sad. I wanted to see all my children grow up and I did not feel ready to let them go.  All I had left were my thoughts, so I screamed in my head “please God, send us some help…”</p>
<p>Then I bent down and down. Once again I felt a hand pull me up and shout at me.  It was my brother Peter. ‘Swim, swim’ he said. This time I landed on my back and somehow managed to move my legs and then two arms came around my chest and started to bring me in.  I did not recognise the voice but it kept me calm and then the arms lifted me out of the water and laid me on the shore.</p>
<p>I could hear my mum’s voice crying to me, but above this voice was another, very gentle voice telling me “do not be afraid little one, you are safe, I will stay with you, all is well.”</p>
<p>Then I could hear Mum, Peter and John. I knew that they were safe and she was also talking to this man who was holding me. I could hear his very calm voice telling her to go and see to her husband.  I still couldn’t open my eyes and my breathing was still very heavy.</p>
<p>The man spoke again ”Calm your breathing, you are safe.  I am here, all is well”.</p>
<p>I tried to ask through my laboured breathing  “Who are you?”</p>
<p>The reply was “I am a healer like you”.</p>
<p>I was still in shock and was not too sure if I had heard him correctly so I tried to calm my breathing down.  I so wanted to open my eyes and see this man, but I could not.  In my mind he was a blonde man with big blue eyes.  Gradually my breathing calmed down and I could hear my husband running onto the beach. He could see that something was going on but did not realize what had happened.  I opened my eyes and the man was gone.</p>
<p>I stood up quickly and looked around but I could not see him, the beach was still empty only our family were there, I asked my Husband did he see anyone on his way down from the cliff top and he said that nobody has passed him on the steps.  There was no other way down to this cove.</p>
<p>My mother ran over to me, hugged me so much that I could hardly breath.  I asked her where the man was. She looked around and could not believe that he was gone.  I wanted to know what he looked like. She told me that he was German.</p>
<p>“ How do you know that?” I asked.</p>
<p>“Because he spoke to me in German, and he was blonde with blue eyes.”</p>
<p>“But what did he say to you?” I asked”.</p>
<p>Her reply? “ I have no idea, he spoke only in German and he would not let go of you, so I left him to it. I cannot believe he has just gone, we all wanted to thank him.”</p>
<p>Traumatised, we left the beach and went back to the villa. We sat around in a daze. Mum was fussing over the three of us, making sandwiches and coffee, but Peter, John and myself could hardly speak, we were in shock.  My brother Peter had cut his feet and legs on the rocks.  I led him to my bedroom to do some first aid. I was kneeling on the floor and there was seawater coming out of my nose, my ears and Peter was the same, I started to clean his feet and looked up at him.</p>
<p>“Are you having a happy Birthday Pete?” I asked</p>
<p>He just looked down at me and said “I thought it was my last kid”</p>
<p>“So did I” I smiled.</p>
<p>I asked him about the man, yes he had seen him and had also thought he was German.  He had also wanted to thank him- but sadly we never saw him again.</p>
<p><strong>Moving forward……</strong></p>
<p>Since that first encounter with a wonderful Angel called Archangel Raphael I have learned many things.  The most important thing for me was the fact that Angels really do exist, they love us unconditionally and all of us can speak to them.</p>
<p>I now do healing work and I know that Angels are present when this wonderful healing energy appears.  All of my clients tell me how they experience this when their healing takes place.  This of course is another chapter, or should I say book.</p>
<p>There have been so many wonderful small miracles that have taken place since I truly let go of my uncertainty and started to believe that we are connected in spirit and in everyday life to this level of love that is given to us freely and unconditionally</p>
<p>Walking with Angels has changed my life and given me an abundance of love to share with others, who in turn are also sharing their own personal experiences.</p>
<p>So next time you put your Angel on top of your Christmas tree, try to remember that Angels really do exist and are here to bring you joy and happiness that will last far beyond Christmas day.</p>
<p>In the light</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Read about the world famous psychic surgeon, John of God]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2535" title="SANY0790" src="http://moretolifemag.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/SANY07901.JPG" alt="SANY0790" width="294" height="221" /><strong>In a land far, far away, where the early morning swirling mists cover the rolling hills, where parrots fly free and iridescent butterflies the size of your hand flutter near the cascading waterfalls of this rich, red earth nestles a village perched on the top of a Plateau of Crystal Quartz in Brazil, lives a very, very special spiritual man, called Joao De Deus (John of God).</strong></p>
<p>He has been healing people since the age of sixteen, (he is now sixty eight years of age!).<br />
 John of God had a vision as a young, starving, very poor man of a beautiful woman called St Rita Cassia. She told him, that he had been given extraordinary spiritual gifts and he was to leave his family and home to go off and use these gifts to help others!!.</p>
<p>Starving and wearing the only clothes he had in the world, he stumbled by a Church in his quest to find his mission in this world. He was taken into the Church and fell asleep. When he woke up, mortified that he had been sleeping, he saw that many hundreds of people were down on their knees thanking him and saying that he had healed them and had given them many psychic messages.</p>
<p>John had no knowledge of this and was amazed and thankful to God for this was his Spiritual Gift to the world. Many years later, St Dom Ignacio (the founder of the Jesuits) came to him in Spirit and told him that there was a place called Abadiania in the state of Goias, Brazil, where he was to build a Spiritual Healing Hospital. He was not to charge for his work!!  St Dom Ignacio said that he would help John to build this wonderful place and that this was his life&#8217;s mission &#8211; to heal the sick in Mind, Body and Spirit. This is what he has done and will continue to do until he passes into the heavenly Realms!!</p>
<p>THE BEAUTY OF THIS ENCHANTING PLACE CAN BE FOUND IF YOU  <a href="http://www.photoshow.com/watch/Ar2tu9Cw" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.photoshow.com/watch/Ar2tu9Cw?referer=');">WATCH THIS SLIDESHOW</a> &#8211; THE MUSIC IS ACTUALLY PLAYED AT THE CASA REGULARLY &#8211; GET A REAL FEEL OF ABADIANIA</p>
<p><strong>PHYLLIS&#8217; PERSONAL EXPERIENCE</strong></p>
<p>I myself was healed in 2003 of a crumbling Spine, terrible pains in my legs, a too fast beating heart, sky high blood pressure, failing kidneys and terrible daily migraines.  I read a book that started by saying that ‘John of God helps those who are in need of Spiritual healing and enlightenment and best of all gives hope to those who have none.</p>
<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2551" title="Spirit_Light_on_Statue_at_Hotel_in_the_Village" src="http://moretolifemag.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Spirit_Light_on_Statue_at_Hotel_in_the_Village4-300x231.jpg" alt="Spirit_Light_on_Statue_at_Hotel_in_the_Village" width="300" height="231" />In 2003, I made the long journey, dosed up with morphine and from day one realized that the Divine Energy of Love was in the very air I breathed in this wonderful place. I had paid for a guide to help me, from the UK &#8211; it was the best money I ever spent. The price included guidance around the procedures at The Casa St Dom Ignacio and allowed me to get the best out of my time with John of God.</p>
<p>I was hardly able to stand so had to hire a wheelchair. I could only walk with the aid of Crutches. I lined up and was guided to meet John of God face to face. I was trembling, nervous and in terrible pain. His blue eyes twinkled with love and concern, he told me that he was going to give me an invisible operation that afternoon. During my three weeks at The Casa St Dom Ignacio, I had two operations a week.</p>
<p>On the last time I saw him on this visit, he told me that he could help me and that I was to become a Guide and one of his Mediums. He welcomed me as a Daughter of The Casa St Dom Ignacio. What a wonderful surprise for me – before I met this incredible man I was literally bed bound and had no hope of a future at all.</p>
<p>A few months later, just walking with one stick, I returned to the village and The Casa with a very small group of people seeking help. Since then,  I have brought many groups to feel the loving energy of John of God, and ALL the Entities who work with through him.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2541" title="John_of_God_1_lrg" src="http://moretolifemag.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/John_of_God_1_lrg-224x300.jpg" alt="John_of_God_1_lrg" width="179" height="240" /> <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2550" title="phyllislrg1" src="http://moretolifemag.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/phyllislrg1-205x300.jpg" alt="phyllislrg1" width="164" height="240" /><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2556" title="John_of_God_eye_operation_lrg" src="http://moretolifemag.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/John_of_God_eye_operation_lrg1-224x300.jpg" alt="John_of_God_eye_operation_lrg" width="179" height="240" /></p>
<p>The entities who work alongside John of God (in spirit) are St Dom Ignacio, who is the head Entity, King Solomon, St Francis of Assisi (my personal favourite as I adore animals), Dr Oswald Cruz, who invented the antidote to Yellow fever, Dr Augusto Del Amira, a Plantation Doctor and Soldier in the 1800’sand many, many more Loving Entities.I have so much to tell you  about all the extraordinary phenomenon that I have witnessed and felt myself. I can walk and run, free of ALL pain and walking sticks.</p>
<p>I have a very special DVD, called, &#8220;A Tribute to John of God&#8221;, by my dear friend Dr Emma Bragdon of the USA. Also, the book &#8220;The Miracle Man&#8221;. Both are available on Amazon, or I can send you one or both.</p>
<p>Hopefully one day you too will be able to experience the loving spiritual energy of this at least once in your lifetime -  to hear or maybe witness the Miracle Healings of John of God in Brazil.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[The view of the Kabbala on the heavenly brigades of angels]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>The view of the Kabbala on the heavenly brigades of angels</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong><em>From the Kabbalistic point of view, angels and their role in our world is a serious business. </em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em>What can we learn about angels, and how can we get in touch with them in our everyday life?</em></strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong>“There is no plant, bush or moss in the world which does not have an agent above, who watches it ant tells it: Grow!” <em>(Rabbi Simon)</em></p>
<p>According to one of the Midrash (requisition) book, even plants have their own sponsoring angels, who protect them and represent their destiny in higher realms.</p>
<p>In fact – every living entity in this world is supervised by a superior life force, in the form of an angel. Each person has two guardian angels, one on the left and one on the right side.</p>
<p>Angels are spiritual entities that arbitrate and transmit messages between the earthly realm and the superior &#8211; divine realms. They are also considered as energy frequencies and communication channels. Each angel performs only one single role, and unlike humans angels can never change, or manifest the freedom of choice. Some angels have masculine qualities (leaders and inducers) and some have feminine qualities (passive).</p>
<p><strong>How were Angels Created?</strong></p>
<p>According to the Kabbala, all angels were originated at the realm of creation &#8211; “Yetzirah”. These Angels, Seraphs, Sacred Animals, and cherubs perform many tasks bridging between heavenly realms with the earthly realms. Angels are the creation of God itself, and are ordained to obey it blindly.</p>
<p>Angels were formed during the six days of creation of the world, each type at a different day:</p>
<p>At the first day – angels of grace who are eternal.</p>
<p>At the second day – angels of judgment, including the death angel.</p>
<p>At the fifth day of creation – all the other angels were formed.</p>
<p>That comes to teach us that angels had already existed before the first human being was created, and were a vital factor in the weave of the universe.</p>
<p><strong>The Heavenly Brigades:</strong></p>
<p>According to the ancient Kabbala, there are four troops of angels, headed by Michael, Gabriel, Uriel and Raphael.</p>
<p>The four major groups of angels came from the uppermost “Mercabah” (or spheres) and represent the four elements: water, fire, air and earth.</p>
<p><strong>Michael</strong> represents the energy of grace, revival, protection and re-awakening.</p>
<p><strong>Gabriel</strong> represents the essence of judgment and severity which exert the necessary pressure in the work of the “tikkun” = reparation of the soul. It is connected to dreams given to a person to evoke spiritual awakening. Gabriel is also known as the angel who draws the soul out of the body at the moment of death.</p>
<p><strong>Uriel</strong> – is the angel of balance and moderation, who helps people on their way to redemption and enlightenment.</p>
<p><strong>Raphael:</strong> represents the powers healing. This is the angel to turn to in request of a cure, and his name is mentioned during spiritual healing sessions.</p>
<p>Other angels mentioned in the Kabbala have different missions:</p>
<p><strong>Metatron</strong>, (whose name should not be pronounced out loud), is a messenger who delivers prayers and litanies to the upper realms and directs them to the right places. He is a direct connection from the earthly realm to the upper realms. Matatron is known as the angel heading the squad of supreme angels and considered the closest to God.  According to the late Zohar revisions, he has the shape of a human, the same figure that was revealed to Yehezkel in his vision: the figure sitting in the Merkabah chair.</p>
<p><strong>Raziel</strong> – is an angel who was revealed to Adam and Eve in Paradise, had escorted them when they were deported away, and taught them the secrets of the Kabbala. “Raziel” is a derivative from the term “Raz” – or “secret” in Hebrew. The ancient book “Raziel The Angel” contains theoretical and practical Kabbalistic wisdom and considered as the first book of secrets that was given to Adam. Its wisdom was later inherited through generations to Noah and Abraham, all the way to King Solomon.</p>
<p><strong>Guardian angels:</strong> may be originated at previous incarnations, a person’s good actions or the soul of a close person. Guardian angels are around us at all times, protecting and guiding us.</p>
<p>Good deeds of giving, devotion and help to others can create powerful light angels who have the potential to banish “bad” angels.</p>
<p>“<strong>Temporary</strong>” angels are souls of enlightened people who arrive at the earthly realm in order to assist humans in extremely difficult situations.</p>
<p><strong>“Alien” Angels</strong> &#8211; The Kabbala recognizes the existence of parallel worlds, and mentions seven realms of existence. Some angels are defined as “<strong>Aliens</strong>” from other realms who visit our dimension for different purposes.</p>
<p>In different biblical stories, angels were sent to earth by the divine in order to perform a task. They may wear a human identity, as mentioned in the story of Abraham. Sometimes, angels may appear as spirits, without a body.</p>
<p>Some religions talk about a rivalry and competition among angels due to of pride and envy. However, the kabbala observes an angel as a selfless entity, which doesn’t have a freedom of choice or evil instincts.</p>
<p><strong>Arniel, Mathael </strong>and<strong> Shalmiel</strong> are only three out of many sacred names of angels that are forbidden to be pronounced vocally.</p>
<p>According to an ancient tradition, the names of angels should not be spoken out loud. An angel might hear its name and appear for help. We can never know how powerful an angel may be. Once it realizes that it was called in vain, it may harm the person who called it. When we call an angel to assist us, we have to make sure that its energetic quality is positive, and that we can contain the high energy we invited upon ourselves.</p>
<p><strong>Superiors and Inferiors:</strong></p>
<p>Ancient Kabbalistic writings tell that there is a hierarchy among the different troops of angels: Some of them act as messengers, announcers and forerunners, who deliver prayers to the upper realms. They do not appear in a physical body, just a spiritual body.</p>
<p>Supreme angels reside in the upper realms of the “Merkabah” (Spheres) and squads of other angels reside in seven different divisions: the four supreme divisions host the grace and mercy angels, and the bottom three host the obstruction angels. The seven divisions altogether, host the angels who are in charge of the souls.</p>
<p>According to Rabbi Moshe Ben Maimon, the class that an angel belongs to has to do with its ability to comprehend the intentions and motivations of the Creator.</p>
<p>According to ancient legends, a human may become an angel in certain circumstances: Geneses mentions Hanoch (or Enoch), who was elevated to a position of angel due to his flawless purity.</p>
<p>The opposite happened with the angels “Aza” and “Azael” who had fallen from the high realm of creation into the bottom realm of the makings (The earthly realm), engaged with human females and surrendered to the temptations of the material world.</p>
<p><strong>Angels and Demons:</strong></p>
<p>The divine spiritual forces in each and every person are also related to “Angelic powers” that serve the soul as it opens to upper realms.</p>
<p>The “Devilish powers” are the energies that lock the spirit away from the divine. Therefore – devils or demons are considered as human (earthly) originated forces that cause the human spirit to run around in circles and entangle in an ever-lasting mesh of weary thought patterns with no way out.</p>
<p><strong>Communicating With Angels:</strong></p>
<p><strong>A  Kabbalistic way to communicate with angels:</strong></p>
<p>A special prayer is addressed to the angels in order to request divine protection and ask their help in bringing positive things to life. It should be read twice a day, morning and night.</p>
<p>From the ancient book “Raziel the Angel” we can learn a traditional Kabbalistic method to communicate with angels (written as a plain translation from Hebrew):</p>
<p>“A person who wishes to succeed in something should prepare himself three days before the beginning of the Hebrew month (new moon), and refrain from eating any impurity, or foods that contain blood, shall not drink wine or engage in sexual activity. He should wash himself in water before sunrise…</p>
<p>The instructions go on and describe a ritual in which organic matter is prepared and burned for the duration of three days, and certain names of angels are pronounced. At the night of a new moon the person has to make his bed over the burnt substances, remain silent, not talking to another person, and go to sleep while mentioning the names of angels that are responsible for the coming month. At night, the angels will appear to him in his dream and will reveal anything he would like to know.</p>
<p><strong>An Easier Way to Communication with Angels:</strong></p>
<p>In order to establish communication with angels, it is essential to believe that angels are a real part of our world. They do not exist “elsewhere”, but right here, under our noses, in a different dimension, which most people cannot sense or see.</p>
<p>Once we elevate our energy levels and develop spiritually, we can be aware of their existence and benefit by them.</p>
<p>Angels are entities that deliver our requests and wishes to upper realms. They are not allowed to interfere in our world without being asked, and have to standby for our requests.</p>
<p><strong>Talk to your Angels:</strong></p>
<p>You can communicate with angels the same way you would talk with a close friend. To do so, you should quiet your mind and get into a relaxed mode, similar to the practice of meditation.</p>
<p>It may take a few sessions until you acquire the ability to see angels and have a conversation with them, so do not be discouraged, and keep trying, knowing that angels are there to listen and help.</p>
<p>Sit or lie down in a quiet place, close your eyes, and take a few deep breaths.</p>
<p>You will be able to have a glimpse at angels through your crown chakra – your opening gate to higher realms.</p>
<p>An open cone shaped funnel rises from inside your head, at the crown chakra, and extends upwards, widening towards an infinite top, all the way to the upper realms.</p>
<p>As you focus your vision through the round opening at the top of your head, you will notice some transparent bodies fly across the wide opening of the funnel high above you.</p>
<p>Take a few moments to sharpen your vision, and you shall see the abstract bodies become clearer until you can identify them as light entities, or angels.</p>
<p>Wait until one of the entities stops its flight and look down at you through the funnel.</p>
<p>This is the time to start communicating with the angel that stopped by.</p>
<p>Ask the angel who it is, and tell it what it is that you desire. In many times, an angel will not identify itself by a specific name.</p>
<p>The first few sessions may be quite silent, as you’ll find yourself staring at the angel while it gazes back at you, and no (virtually verbal) conversation will occur.</p>
<p>As you establish communication, you will be able to distinguish between your own words and the messages that come from the angel:</p>
<p>Your speech will come out (virtually) through your own mouth, and the angel’s voice will come down echoing through the funnel above. If you are able to make this distinction, you will always feel sure that you are not “talking to yourself”.</p>
<p>Remembering that the angel acts as a messenger, you can ask questions that have to do with your life, your destiny, get interpretations for things that have happened in your life, and ask for advice.</p>
<p>As long as you can stay focused in the communication process, information will pass back and forth smoothly, until one of you gets tired.</p>
<p>It is important to honor the process of communication with angels and not to turn to them too frequently with irritating questions. After receiving their guidance, always show gratitude and thank them for their cooperation.</p>
<p><strong>Therefore &#8211; Embrace Life:</strong></p>
<p>Rabbi Itzhak Luria, the greatest Kabbalist of Safed in the 16<sup>th</sup> Century, has taught that angels are born as a result of our spoken words and deeds – good or bad. Each angel connects us to a certain energetic frequency, and it’s up to a person whether his angels are good or bad.</p>
<p>According to Rabbi Itzhak Luria, the quality of angels we create during a lifetime depends on the amount of enthusiasm we invest in what we do.</p>
<p>This gives us a good reason to be focused on the blessed and luminous aspects of our life and never tangle with negativity. Appreciate every given moment and see the wholeness of our existence.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Nicky Marshall asks Do we need all our spiritual momentoes to be authentic?]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-2412" title="img_nicky" src="http://moretolifemag.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/img_nicky-150x150.jpg" alt="img_nicky" width="150" height="150" />I had an epiphany today. It was so simple yet had such far reaching consequences it was astounding!</strong></p>
<p>A year ago I moved in with my now husband from my 3 bedroom semi where I had spent two years with my daughters. It had been a great space for the three of us; we’d had fun creating a completely girlie and surreal space filled with Angels, Fairies, Inspirational Sayings, Crystals and Fairy Lights. We had painted walls purple and pink and got creative with silver paint squares. The garden was wall to wall angelic ceramic figures, if a little weed strewn! There was mess and muddle due to a busy life but the energy there was great and guests felt very welcome.</p>
<p>I was really looking forward to our move. Our new home had a great family energy too and would be a good space for us all to socialise…if a little cramped with 4 teenagers, 3 cats and us! Carefully I packed away all the things I’d treasured – we were moving again in a few months so it would all come out again when we got our new house. I felt I was quite strict on myself and deliberated over the objects I kept. In true Feng Shui style I only kept the ornaments and pictures that I felt had value and quite a few boxes winged their way to the charity shop.</p>
<p>Twelve months have passed since I closed the door on my stowed items. Over that time we have bonded as a family and I have bonded with the house. Phil and I have got married and the kids have grown up a little; a year full of activities and memories with lots of laughter thrown in! We have decided not to move again so now is the time to sort through all those stored things and bring out all my treasures. One by one I opened those boxes that I had carefully packed away…and I didn’t want any of it! How could it be that all those things I had valued and collected no longer mean anything?</p>
<p><img class="size-medium wp-image-2418 alignright" title="moving house" src="http://moretolifemag.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/moving-house-300x199.jpg" alt="moving house" width="300" height="199" />Then it struck me. Over the years as I’d learned a new way of thinking I had collected ornaments, objects and images that reminded me of my spiritual self. I had a crystal for every occasion, statues of Buddha’s and angels on every surface, candles, incense…it was endless! Trying to gain a new perspective on life had meant changing all the old habits that I had, like shouting when something went wrong, using negative language and expecting bad things to come my way. Surrounding myself by all these visual reminders of spirituality had served me well. Over time I had changed, little by little.</p>
<p>Of course, the new decor hadn’t been the only change I’d made. I had spent a lot of time being guided by teachers, I had trained on courses and I had read an enormous amount of books. While taking all these actions there had been huge changes in my personal life, some subtle…and some huge and painful! Every step I took taught me something new, gave me a little more strength or took a weight off my shoulders. Gradually though, the ‘new’ or ‘natural’ me emerged, not some ethereal shimmering being that smiled serenely while chaos abounded but someone who would smile a lot more and swear a little less!</p>
<p>I have attended countless Mind Body &amp; Spirit fairs over the years, more recently as an exhibitor. There are always times when the human traffic lulls and you can take a step back and observe.  People wander up and down the aisles scouring each stall, their eyes scrutinising every object. Some customers buy everything, from a bumper sticker to a huge piece of crystal, while others just scan, not quite seeming to find what they are looking for. The question I ask is: is it that they just don’t know what they need? I believe even the most stubborn of us know that there are changes happening. We may not know it consciously but on some level we feel we should do something. By attending these events perhaps we are looking for a ‘quick fix’. Buy something shiny and everything will miraculously be ok, without any personal effort or analysis. I have conversations with people who have mishap after mishap, knock after knock, anything that can go wrong does for them. They may be trying to get a new job and not getting an interview or relationships are always difficult. Of course this is disheartening and when they talk each sentence is full of negatives, “Of course I won’t get the job” or “It’s just my luck” or “It’s not fair!”  I expect you too have heard similar?</p>
<p>What I suggest is that while buying your crystals, Buddha’s and floaty objects you do something else; stop. Just stand completely still and observe your body, your posture and the look on your face. Watch out for any tension in your muscles or a frown as an expression or any rigidity in your stance. Notice if your breathing is free flowing and deep or shallow and hitched. How do you feel stood in this way &#8211; happy and relaxed or itching to do something and irritable? Over the course of one day notice the language you use and look out for all those negatives, is the glass empty or full? This may give you a little insight into where you are in the present.</p>
<p><strong>So, in conclusion: how do we exist in this Spirit World and make the changes we need?</strong> Well, buying crystals, fairies, angels, books and sparkly purple things will certainly remind us where we are going if we buy them with intention, but buy too many and we end up feeling heavy and burdened. Don’t buy any and we may not get the visual hints we occasionally require when that unwanted bill pops through the letter box or we are having a pointless argument that we have had endless times before.</p>
<p>I suppose with everything there is a balance and maybe if we sit back once a day and assess where we are, we will realise that those little changes have evolved into a new, happier, lighter way of being!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Lots of powerful angels are sending huge beams of spiritual light, to try to repair the damage we are creating and doing on our planet.  ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I always questioned things in life, and I have been interested in angels ever since I can remember. I wanted to know so much about them and what their role is on this Earth.</p>
<p><strong>Our guardian angels are beautiful beams of light coming from above. You don’t hear or see them. They are here spreading their pink rays of love, like a big parasol over us. </strong>They work in silence, and a great many of us are not aware of their presence.  They watch over us like a mother over her small child. They can take the human form if it is needed in our times of deep despair.  They don’t ask much from us, just our love and a little time on our part to listen to what they are saying to us.  They whisper in our ears very softly words of guidance and encouragement.</p>
<p>They try very hard to make us aware they are here to help us in our difficult journey. They cannot always get through the thick layer of material we surround ourselves with.  They are very loving and patient with us.  They try to attract our attention in so many different ways, but as we are we dismiss them as a figment of our imagination.  This makes them sad.  If only we could be aware of their existence our life would be much easier, knowing we have help at hand to ease our burden.</p>
<p>But it is only when disaster comes in our life that we pray for help to our Father God above. At that time in our life our spiritual awareness opens inside our heart. Our guardian angel finds it much easier to reach us in our time of despair. For some, it will be a revelation to be able to feel and to be aware of those beautiful angels of light, who can help us in so many ways, not only in our hour of need but every day to give us wisdom and guidance.  To those people it will change their life for ever.  But for so many, once the emergency is over, they will go back to their old way of life, closing the door to their guardian angel.  Their spiritual light once more will be turned off.  We have free will, and they cannot interfere with our way of life, because that is their rule.  Like us, they need to progress and move on.  They have a purpose on this Earth, and they need us to help them achieve it.</p>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-2363" title="Little girl feather" src="http://moretolifemag.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/pink-angel21.jpg" alt="Little girl feather" width="425" height="282" />We need each other for the balance of our planet.  Lots of powerful angels are sending huge beams of spiritual light, to try to repair the damage we are creating and doing on our planet.  They have a very difficult task working in our dense environment because we are sending pollution and negative thoughts into the atmosphere.  They love us and are not giving up on humanity just yet.  Things are changing more speedily than ever to make us aware of our spirituality.  A new generation of light workers are coming our way to help us see the light.  We have a long way to go, but progress is being made from above.  One day before too long a lot of us will see our guardian angel standing by our side smiling at us. What a day that will be!</p>

		<title>GETTING ANSWERS FROM ANGELS</title>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2477" title="landscape-hr-web" src="http://moretolifemag.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/landscape-hr-web.jpg" alt="landscape-hr-web" width="147" height="97" /><span style="font-size: small;"> </span><span style="font-size: small;">Angels use various ways of communicating with you- signifying you are about to receive something special. So take extra notice of a ‘well done’, if you have just made a good decision.</span></strong></span></p>
<p>Angels will use human people; they will bring someone into your life with a piece of information, which will make all become clear. They will send more than one person bringing you the same information, all mentioning the same good book that might help you.  You might find yourself drawn into a bookshop, browsing for no reason, and see the book everyone has mentioned to you. It is still your choice whether you buy it or not, and then it is your choice whether you read it or not, but if you take notice of the signs, you will start to notice how much more smoothly your life begins to flow.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">They will use music in various ways.  Song lines going through your head over and over, not going away until you connect them to the questions and what is going on in your life.     If they do not answer directly your question, then think back to what was going on in your life when the song first came out, identify the pattern, and you have the answer.    You can also ask what the meaning of an issue is in your life, or what you need to do about something, and ask for the answer to be the 3<sup>rd</sup>, 4<sup>th</sup>, 5<sup>th</sup>, record from now on the radio. It is spookily accurate. The song on the radio answers questions you go to bed on, as the alarm goes off in the morning. Don’t ask me how but it does.<strong><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2480" title="raphel" src="http://moretolifemag.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/raphel.jpg" alt="raphel" width="207" height="292" /></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p><strong>Meditation also is a way of listening to the answers from your angels. </strong> (If you have never meditated do not worry, it is not difficult).  By going deep into yourself, to the stillness, you connect to your own inner wisdom, which is connected to the collective universal web of knowledge, and you receive information directly either as a voice in your head or as a feeling in your body. If you are connected to your own feelings, and trust your gut instincts by acting on them, you are following the guidance of your soul, and the angels and guides will work that way too.</p>
<p>People often ask how to tell whether the information that comes into their heads during meditation is from angels and guides, or from their imagination. Imagination is our umbilical cord to spirit. It is our creative link with the universal creative energy of which everything is a part. If you imagine something, why do you imagine that particular thing at that particular moment which answers yours or someone else’s needs? You need to learn to trust your imagination.</p>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-2492" title="michael" src="http://moretolifemag.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/michael1.jpg" alt="michael" width="207" height="292" />Another thing is, if you notice when you are imagining something or you’re getting a voice in your mind with an answer, the voice will be on the right side of your head.    This is your right intuitive, creative, psychic brain that is the creative side and linked to the universe (it controls the left hand side of your body).   The left-brain is your mind and personality, everything you have learned (and controls the right hand side of your body).  If you feel a thought float into the left of your head, it is a thought, if it comes in to the right it is an answer. Noticing this takes practice, but gets easier and is well worth it for the confidence of knowing.</p>
<p>Trust is the key element.</p>
