WISDOM OF THE DALAI LAMA

The Dalai Lama has been visiting England again recently. I have been taking some time recently to study Buddhism. The philosophy of finding inner peace, developing love for all people, caring for all living things on the planet, and developing a life of service, are thoughts that I find easy to relate to, and which would be nice to see become more widespread in the West.

I watched again the film 7 years in Tibet last night, which shows the Dalai Lama as a boy, prior to the invasion of the Chinese. Everything I have learned about the Dalai Lama shows him to be not only a very spiritual person, but one with a great sense of humour. Claire Wade kindly sent me these thoughts from the Dalai Lama to share with others (thanks Claire). Apparently he issued these on my birthday (which happens to be New Year's Day), so I was especially interested to read these wise, thought-provoking and humourous pearls of wisdom. I hope you enjoy them.

1. Take into account that great love and great achievements involve great risk.
2. When you lose, don't lose the lesson.
3. Follow the three Rs: Respect for self, Respect for others and Responsibility for all your actions.
4. Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.
5. Learn the rules so you know how to break them properly.
6. Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship.
7. When you realize you've made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it.
8. Spend some time alone every day.
9. Open your arms to change, but don't let go of your values.
10. Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.
11. Live a good, honorable life. Then when you get older and think back, you'll be able to enjoy it a second time.
12. A loving atmosphere in your home is the foundation for your life.
13. In disagreements with loved ones, deal only with the current situation. Don't bring up the past.
14. Share your knowledge. It's a way to achieve immortality.
15. Be gentle with the earth.
16. Once a year, go some place you've never been before.
17. Remember that the best relationship is one in which your love for each other exceeds your need for each other.
18. Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it.
19. Approach love and cooking with reckless abandon.


ANGEL POEM

I seem to be receiving quite a few angel poems from people recently. This one was sent to me by Maria-Clare Lush, who I met at the Angel Conference in Penzance, Cornwall last summer. She wrote and told me that after doing one of my angel exercises, she heard angels singing, and soon after received this poem from the angels, which she kindly agreed to share.

Children of the earth hear our call
We are calling you to our aide
The time has come to stand and fight
and bring this earth back to the light

Darkness slowly covers the land
We ask you now to come and stand
United in our holy quest
and bring the earth back to the light

With your help and our guidance
the light will come and remain forever
Walk tall and be happy
Send light and love to all

With joy in your hearts
and friendship to all
we will be victorious
Just hear our call

The angels are always keen to help us spread our light.

If you have an angel story, poem or inspirational piece you would like to share, please email me at

ANGEL STORY

Jean Bender told me that she had been feeling tired and lethargic for a long time, and it was interfering with her healing work. So she asked the angels to help her get better. She was walking past a chemist shop and felt a 'nudge' to go in. The shop was offering a simple diabetes test. She decided to take it. The test showed she had level 2 diabetes and high blood pressure. Further tests with the chemist and her doctor confirmed this. She is now treating this with diet, exercise and tablets. She has also been guided by the angels to various types of complementary medicine, which her doctor has agreed.

Jean says she is grateful for being guided to the problem, and to the solution. Left untreated, the condition could have become far more serious.

Sometimes the angels need to provide us with only the gentlest of nudges to help answer our prayers.


MY PASSION AND MISSION

My passion and mission is to help people to do 3 things:


1. DISCOVER (AND DEVELOP) YOUR LIFE PATH
2. LEARN HOW TO RECEIVE HIGHER GUIDANCE TO HELP YOU DEVELOP YOUR PATH
3. REMOVE BLOCKS AND ISSUES THAT STAND IN YOUR WAY

By helping people (and organisations and society) to learn how to be guided along a higher path, people can live more fulfilling, complete lives, and find the best way they can contribute to improving our world.

The more of us that find our path, become light-workers, and serve the highest good of all, the better our society will become, and the higher it will evolve. This is my unending passion.


INDIVIDUAL HELP

Need help with life issues, career change, developing your path and work, or creating abundance? Feel blocked and want to remove whatever is holding you back? Want to learn how to tap into your soul and inner wisdom, and learn how to channel? I continue to offer one-to-one sessions, by telephone or in person. Call for a free exploration of your situation and how I might be able to help. Free initial consultation. Call me, Darren Linton, on +44 (0)1245 460057 (10.00 am - 8.00 pm weekdays)


WHO IS RICHARD HAYWOOD?

You may have noticed some of our newsletters and emails come from Richard Haywood. Who is this mystery man?

Richard is the silent inspiration behind much of our work. Richard and I work in partnership in bringing you this angel work. Richard is the 'wind beneath my wings' - it was he who first suggested the idea of the home study course, and this newsletter too. He created our web-site, using his internet and marketing consultancy expertise. And it is he who handles much of the administration of our courses and work. None of this would have been be possible without him.

Our goal is to help build an organisation which helps many thousands of people, through a variety of courses and services. Richard prefers to keep a low profile and handle the business side of things, which frees me to create courses, offer workshops, work with people, explore new offerings, and network with other organisations with whom we can develop links and expand mutual support. However, if you have a technical problem, or something has gone astray, contact Richard by email (editor@lifeworksinternational.com) or telephone (07974 779937) and he will try to help.

So next time you receive something by email from Richard Haywood, you'll know he is the powerhouse that helps drive our work in getting out into the world.

RECOMMENDED READING



ONLY 1% OF COUPLES CONSIDER THEIR MARRIAGE "BLISSFUL" Happily ever after isn't the reality for most couples. In fact only 1 out of every 100 couples state that their relationship is continually blissful. 68% rate their relationship as "good" and the rest rate it average or below. Are the top 1% lucky or do they have some things in common?

Michael Webb, well-known relationships expert has interviewed and observed many of these "top 1%" couples and he has found quite a few similarities in couples who indeed married "happily ever after." The couples had common practices when it came to handling hot issues like in-laws, holidays, premarital sex and household chores.

Webb has written about 50 of these traits in his new electronic book, 50 Secrets of Blissful Relationships, which you can order and download directly from the internet.

This is a wonderful book full of inspiring ideas and stories and is currently being offered with a second book at a discounted rate of $20 (around £12). Even if you already have a blissful relationship this book will give you even more wonderful ways to develop your love and connections to new levels.

GUIDED BY ANGELS

I regularly receive the most touching and inspiring feedback from those taking our angel course. It is such a pleasure to hear of their progress and stories.

Evelyn Mouat, who lives in the Shetland Isles, wrote to me recently with this touching feedback. "I loved receiving the sessions each month - it was like my birthday every time. I learned so much about myself, and it gave me such inspiration. Talking with my angel for the first time was out of this world. They have sent me help and guidance so many times. I wish I had done this a long time ago. Go for it everybody." She continued with pages of information about how her life had been touched and blessed. I always respond personally to feedback and stories sent in, and offer some blessings and help, so please keep them coming.

Free Trial - we are continuing to offer session 1 of the course on a free trial, so you can receive angelic help and be inspired yourself. If you haven't tried the session yet, or would like to enrol in the course now, visit our web-site www.guidedbyangels.info




FINAL THOUGHTS

When a person does a good deed when he or she didn't have to, God looks down and smiles and says 'For this moment alone, it was worth creating the world.'

A quote from the Talmud
