1 Inspiration from Above

We begin with an inspirational piece. The ‘Lessons from the Geese’ always proved popular when I’ve shown it in the past. Nature often has much to teach us, and can be a source of constant inspiration. See what you think…

Lessons from the Geese

You may occasionally see geese during their migration. Here’s some lessons from the geese …

FACT As each bird flaps its wings, it creates an ‘up-lift’ for the bird following. By flying in

a ‘V’ formation, the whole flock adds 77% greater flying range than if each bird

flew alone

LESSON People who share a common direction and sense of community can get where they are going quicker and easier if they work together, because they are travelling on the thrust of one another.

FACT When the lead goose gets tired, it rotates back into the formation, and another goose

flies at the point position.

LESSON It pays to take turns doing the hard tasks and sharing leadership – we cannot do it all on our own. We need support and to share the work if we are to succeed over a long journey.

FACT The geese in formation honk from behind to encourage those up front to keep their

speed.

LESSON We need to ensure our ‘honking’ from behind is encouraging, not something less helpful.

FACT When a goose gets sick or wounded or shot down, two geese drop out of formation

to follow it down and to help and protect it. They stay with it until it is either able to fly again or dies. They then launch out on their own with another formation or catch up with their flock.

LESSON If we have as much sense as the geese, we will stand by each other and help each

other through difficult times.

Many say that we are moving into a time of greater co-operation. We can learn a lot from the geese!

We aim to begin each newsletter with an inspirational quote, poem, or message. Since its at the top of the newsletter, and since its about higher inspiration, I decided to call it Inspiration from Above. Do you have any favourite pieces (quotes, poems, stories or other inspirational items) that you would be willing to share in future newsletters? We’d be only too happy to acknowledge your name (or not, if you prefer) if you send them in. Please help to share words that inspire you with others, so that it may inspire them too. Simply email them to editor@lifeworksinternational.com

We would be most grateful for you contribution.

2. A Message from the Angels

Choosing Positive Growth

We are familiar with the idea that we are here to learn and grow, and contribute to others. Quite a few people I spoke to last month reported problems or old issues surfacing again. We often find old unhelpful patterns repeating themselves in our lives again and again, until we release them. Here's a message from the angels I was given to share with you, about choosing positive changes, which I hope will provide a useful reminder and/or new perspective for you:

"The Earth is currently being showered in waves of divine energy, rarely seen in past eons, to help mankind develop and grow (we are living in important times). You may notice periods in your life where things flow well, then periods of turmoil. Humans generally hope life will be one long smooth process, but it is rarely like this (count your blessings if life has been flowing smoothly).

If you are finding life a bit 'bumpier' also count your blessings - the periods of turbulence you experience are designed to help bring up issues for you to clear. This is part of your growth process.

You know that a problem often carries the seeds of helpful lessons and growth. We often learn most from times of greatest difficulty. Look for the lessons - if you view problematic times as opportunities to learn and grow, it will help you through them faster. Would you rather stay stuck at one level all your life? Your soul always chooses growth, and draws situations to you to assist this.

If you are experiencing difficulties, ask the angels to bless you and guide you, so that you can learn the lessons, release the issues, and move on to the next higher and better thing.

You can choose to 'go with the flow' - accept and embrace problems and challenges, and know they are part of the fabric and beauty of life - they help us appreciate the good times more - there's no highs without lows. Learning to accept this ebbing and flowing of life, cycles of growth, can help tremendously in your own growth and well-being, now and increasingly in the future as changes in the earth accelerate.

Also know that you can choose your growth to be positively or negatively driven. You can choose to actively learn lessons, or wait for a crisis to force you to change. (e.g. you can actively improve your health, or at least notice the first subtle warning sign your body gives you, and embrace its message, or you can wait until your body develops a severe illness that forces you to change. The same is true of all things in life – to seek improvement or wait for a crisis to develop before you act). Which is your common pattern? If you wish to change to positive growth, just say a prayer asking to release the negative path and to switch to the path of positive growth (then start taking action accordingly so you build the new approach).

You will only get as much at any one time as you can cope with, but the speed you move through it is up to you and your approach – negative or positive. It becomes easier with time.

We wish you well in learning / remembering who you really are, and with your continuing growth. As Bob Dylan once sang - "The times, they are a changing".

With Best Wishes

3. Questions and Answers

This question was sent in from a woman on the south coast.

Q. I believe my angels helped to save me from a head on collision with a speeding van on a country road last month, for which I am truly grateful, yet I broke my leg skiing the following week. Why do the angels intervene in some things, but allow other things to happen? (T.P. – Sussex)

A. This is quite a large question, about why bad things sometimes happen. The answer is that the angels have permission to step into life and death situations and save us, if it is not our time to die yet. They have the authority to do this. However, in all other matters, angels will generally (a few exceptions) only intervene if you ask for their help – you must ASK for their guidance, help and protection. If you do, they will be delighted to help you.

Another point, the angels may not always prevent ‘bad’ things happening if its for your higher good. Perhaps you needed the broken leg to force you to learn some lesson – perhaps slow down, or review your life. This might prove very beneficial if you can see it as a lesson and opportunity to grow. Had you prayed to the angels to protect you while skiing, they would probably have done so, but your soul would have arranged for to receive the lesson you needed in some other way (e.g. illness), if that’s what you needed to force you to pay heed. Generally, the more you work with angels and are open to positive changes, the less need there is for problems – you can receive your lessons in other ways.

So in short, if its life and death, the angels can step in, if not, you need to ask for and invite their help before they can do so. Be open as well to your soul’s growth and change.

Do you have questions ? If you have a question which you would like to ask the angels, send it to angels@lifeworksinternational.com. With your permission, we will publish questions and answers that might benefit others in future editions. Please let us know if you are happy to publish your question when you email your question.

4. How the Angels Saved My Life

Following on from that last question, I thought I’d share how my angels saved my life.

It happened many years ago, when I was working in business and commuting round the M25 every day. I have to confess that I wasn’t quite so enlightened in those days – my approach to driving round the M25 was to get in the fast lane, put my foot down, and stay in the fast lane until I reached my junction. I was driving along in the fast lane one sunny morning, seemingly nothing special happening, when I noticed a large lorry in the middle lane next to me, travelling about the same speed as me. Nothing remarkable about that, but for some reason I had this strong urgent thought come into my head “Overtake this lorry and pull in, in front of it”

Without thinking about it, I speeded up and passed the lorry, checked it was clear, and pulled into the middle lane in front of it (remember, it was very unusual for me to change lanes). As I glanced up, something flashed by on my right. I looked in my mirror, and saw that it was a lorry in the fast lane which had broken down and was stationary!! Picture it – I’m doing 80 MPH (or more) with a stationary lorry dead ahead of me, and a lorry in the lane next to me so I can’t pull in. Without that intervention, I wouldn’t be alive today.

I didn’t think that much of it at the time – I just thought I had had a near miss and been ‘lucky’. It wasn’t until years later when I was working with my angels, that it dawned on me that it was probably them that had saved from that accident (and other near misses too). I asked my Guardian angel if it was him, and he said ‘yes’. I thanked the angels. They say that nothing in this world happens by accident – it made me realise how often I had been protected and guided in life.

Have you been saved in remarkable ways?

I remember reading about a woman who’s son had collapsed in the garden. She gave him mouth to mouth resuscitation while a neighbour called an ambulance. When it arrived, the ambulance men told her that her son was dead and beyond help, and to give up. By she says an angel appeared to her and told her to keep going, and that her son would live. She kept up the mouth to mouth resuscitation in the ambulance all the way to the hospital, and sure enough her son lived and made a full and complete recovery. The angel helped save her son’s life.

Do you have examples of angels saving your life, or that of a loved one? Its not something we normally talk about, but if you have experienced the angels I would love to hear from you, and, with your permission, publish some examples next issue. There are probably far more examples than any of us realise. Please email your story to us this week at editor@lifeworksinternatinal.com saying if you are happy to share your story, and we’ll see how many other people have had similar experiences. Its healing and empowering to share our examples.

5. Angel of the Month

Each issue we’ll focus on an angel – tell you a little about them, and remind you how you can call on them for help. This edition, we start the series with ..

Archangel Michael

Michael – his name means “Who is like God” or “God is my strength”. Michael represents strength and protection, and is associated with a sword, a cloak, and the colour blue. You can call on Michael if you need extra strength to get through the day, or to cut away emotional ties from the past, hurts, or difficult situations. Ask him to cut away (with his sword) any ties that are no longer for your higher good.

You can also ask Michael for protection if you are going into a difficult situation. Ask him to wrap his blue or purple cloak of protection around you (imagine a cloak being wrapped round you) - this will shield you and keep you safe from any negativity from others. They may still be negative, but you will not feel the energy from this, and will come through stronger.

Next time you are in or facing a difficult situation, call on Michael and feel the strength, release and protection he gives you.

Case Example - One of my clients was dreading a court hearing with her ex-husband. She called on Michael for strength and protection from the negativity she thought would upset her. She was amazed to find herself talking powerfully and strongly during the court hearing, and at how well she coped with the day. It certainly helped her through a difficult day.

Try calling on Michael for yourself sometime, when you need his help.

We’ll focus on a different angel next edition.

6. Financial Freedom

Often one of the biggest worries and blocks for people seeking a new life is money. "How do I change direction, start a new life, and continue to pay the bills?" Resolving your financial worries enables you to begin developing what you really want to do with your life - to follow your heart and soul and true path.

In the last issue of AngelSpeak we included a copy of our Guide to Financial Freedom, a unique step by step guide to helping you free yourself from financial worries. If you didn’t receive a copy and would like one, please return this email and put FINANCIAL FREEDOM REPORT in the message subject line.

Have you started working on your financial freedom yet? In this issue, we would like to offer some ideas on saving money. Its always nice to save some money, and its part of the financial freedom model too. Saving £20 here and £25 there soon adds up to quite a handy sum each month or year. We hope these ideas (both big and small) will inspire you to save some money and free up your finances a little.

Financial Freedom ideas – 25 ways to save money

1. Sell house, buy cheaper one, invest the balance and live off the difference

2. Rent out your house, buy a cheaper one, invest or live off the difference

3. Get a lodger (£250 per month extra income) – ask the universe to bring you a nice one

4. Sell your house, buy a motor home / American trailer home (cost £10-20,000) – live in it, tour round Europe, and settle down on a sunny piece of coast somewhere.

5. Get a cheaper mortgage (e.g. Virgin Direct diminishing mortgage)

6. Move to a cheaper part of the country, or emigrate to a cheaper country. You can buy a villa overlooking the beach in Greece for around £20-30,000 – retire and live off the interest on the balance – cost of living cheaper, or buy two and rent one out. Fancy retiring and writing your book there? (only if it feels right)

7. Tackle your biggest and most expensive outgoings and ‘easy wins’ first, then keep going through the other items – every little bit adds up - £10 here, £20 there, £50 there, soon adds

8. Renegotiate car + house + contents insurances (even mid-term) – discount for combining all with one company?

9. Cheaper phone bills eg One-tel, ntl

10. Sell car and buy cheaper better or more economical one (classic old cars can be cheaper & stylish & fun).

11. Walk more places instead of driving (saves money and healthier & better for the environment too)

12. Buy food from discount chains, eg Aldi, CostCo (MUCH cheaper and often better)

13. Buy clothes from discount stores eg Matalan, discount warehouses

14. Recycle, re-use, repair, make your own (anything)

15. Clear clutter – swap or have car boot sale

16. Get your kids to help you find ways to save money

17. Buy it for Less – research best value, shop around, wait for seasonal sales

18. Buy second hand

19. Preventive maintenance – prolong use of what you have (cheaper than repair or replacing)

20. Swap services – eg swap plumbing work for a neck message

21. Sort your finances – reduce debts, interest charges – get a consolidation loan

22. Eat healthily and more vegetarian – cheaper – experiment with new meals

23. Have free fun family entertainment – eg picnic in the park, walk by the river, stay in and have a family games evening

24. Don’t go shopping!!

25. See Your Money Or Your life – 101 Cost Saving Ideas (chapter 6 – Living on a Shoestring)

This gets FUN when you get into this way of thinking, and is very freeing (and also environmentally friendly – fits values about living wisely and helping the earth)

When you free yourself from possessions and materialism, you re-connect more and more with your inner spirit – its better than anything you can buy!

Freedom frees you up and helps you to follow your path.

7. Try a Little Love

Most of us have difficulties with other people (work colleagues, family, etc) from time to time. The difficulties can sometimes cause us much frustration and anxiety, which can detract from our own life. Next time you’re faced with this, try a little love. It may sound trite, but try this.

Start by recognising that they are a human being doing the best they can, with their limitations and situation. They may have problems and their own personal difficulties unknown to you. If you think about them and their situation for a few moments, in a quiet moment, you may begin to recognise some of the problems they are facing. There’s a saying “People need our love MOST when they deserve it the least.” Be sympathetic to a fellow human being struggling with life.

Next, start behaving more lovingly towards them. Mentally send them love and wish them well, and pray for them to be helped. Ask the angels to intervene to help the situation. One person’s kindness can change a relationship. If you are more loving and considerate to them, you may find their response changes. It can be quite remarkable how a shift can occur. Even if it doesn’t, you’ll feel better about yourself, and will know that you gave of your highest and best.

Being loving and forgiving makes US feel better than holding onto frustration and annoyance. Another saying I heard recently (on TV ) is “Bitterness hurts the vessel its stored in, more than the vessel its poured into”. So give up your hurt thoughts, think and act more lovingly towards the other person, send them love, pray for divine help, be open to changes and miracles, and watch what happens.

This also works well with our loved ones and others even when things are going fine – a little extra love and understanding can help make our relationships even better.

(Let us know if you have success with this – it never hurts to inspire a little more love in the world)

8. REVIEW OF RECENT INTRODUCTORY TALK

I gave another introductory talk on finding your life path and being guided by angels at the Brentwood Mind Body Soul Exhibition at the Brentwood Centre on 23^rd March, and was there all weekend at my stand talking with those interested. Once again, it was a full room for the talk. I received lots of good feedback from people about the talk, in person, and on the review sheets, and during the angel attunement during the talk, the majority of people (about 80%) reported connecting and/or receiving messages from their guide or angel. For example, one lady told me she saw three radiant angels, surrounded by light, who gave her messages. She said it was the strongest connection she had had for years. Another, which I found touching, said she hadn’t got any messages, but she felt her angel holding her hand the whole time, and felt beautiful loving feelings. Aah!

I am pleased that it seemed to go well – I believe that what goes around comes around – if I help enough other people and give of my best, then the universe and angels will in turn continue to look after me and help this work flourish.

If you attended, I hope that you too got much out of the talk, and thanks for coming (I love giving these talks). If you missed this talk, there will be other occasions in future if you’re interested.

The rest of the exhibition was moderately busy, and it was nice to see a few familiar faces there again.

9. CASE STUDY TO INSPIRE YOU

Some people have asked why I include case studies – “Is it purely to attract more clients?” they ask. Certainly partly, but also because case studies can help to inspire others. By hearing how others have travelled this path before, it helps people to feel that they are not alone, not the only ones who feel like this, and provides ideas and hope that they can too make changes and develop their lives. Stories help to inspire us all. As with the geese, its easier to follow on the slipstream where others have gone before us.

This example I’ve chosen because it concerns a down-to-earth businessman who discovered a more spiritual approach, and has been able to make achievable and yet inspirational initial changes.

David was a reasonably successful middle aged businessman, but he was not satisfied with life. He wanted to somehow create a new and better lifestyle for himself, one involving writing and healing, but wasn’t sure how to achieve this. He came to Lifeworks for help.

We soon identified that David had a number of old patterns, from childhood and his earlier life, that were driving him, but were not helpful. He worried about money all the time, felt ‘driven’ to work, and guilty if he took any time off, worked hard and long hours, and didn’t take care of himself or his body. As a result he was stressed, pressured, and not in good health. He recognised these as timeless patterns that had dogged him all his life. They were not making him fulfilled or helping him to create a new life.

Although a traditional, logical left-brained businessman, David was open to more spiritual matters.

Exploring his intuition, we found that he was already more intuitive than he realised – in fact most of his best decisions were made using his instincts, he just hadn’t realised this before. Realising that he could indeed trust his intuition made further decision-making much easier. We also discovered that David had a guide who was eager to help him. For David, it was an old Chinaman. Over a few sessions we received advice from the chinaman about business, his health, releasing past patterns, housing, his relationship, his children, his future, and a whole host of other subjects. I showed David how to talk with his chinaman to receive advice whenever he wanted, and he was able to do this very quickly and easily. This new found talent added a whole new zest and interest to business and his life.

Working through the Financial Freedom model proved enormously helpful to David. He was able to see more clearly how he was worrying needlessly, and where he could reduce considerably unnecessary outgoings. This reduced need to earn money, and a much more easily manageable lower requirement, together with other realisations and work together, helped free him up considerably.

David found that the advice of his chinaman guide proved invaluable, and was able to shift his style of work to one combining logic and his old business skills with his intuition, the advice of his guide, and caring for himself and his well-being – a much more balanced and less stressful approach. He has since moved house to a lovely cottage in the country, where he is now living a much more happy and balanced life. He found that his relationship with his partner improved further too. I also helped connect David to a group of angels who are here to help his writing and healing work. They commended him on his progress, and told him he is now in a much better position for this new work to start evolving and developing over the next couple of years. He now has a wonderful new, inspiring, guided and balanced life ahead of him. All of this was achieved within just six months of first contacting me.

David wrote to me recently to give me an update and to acknowledge his progress. He said

“All the areas of my life have improved – most of them hugely – since our first session, and I have not felt this happy, fulfilled and ‘alive’ for a long time, if ever.”

David is probably typical of thousands out there who are stressed, run down, and wishing they could get out of their old situation and start a new way of life. He has shown that, (even with little or no previous spiritual experience), with a little help, quite profound and lasting changes can be accomplished in a relatively short period of time.

10. LIFE REVIEW - HELPING YOU MOVE FORWARD

Do you feel stuck or at a crossroads? Need help in moving forward and clarifying the right direction – what and how? Like to learn more about talking with and working with the angels?

Like to know what to do next?

I offer an initial session (called a Life Review). It is designed to help you take a look at where you are going in life - what’s happened so far, what you have gained, and what your future path is. We can explore what is holding you back - blocks/issues/old patterns to resolve – and how you can move forward with your life along the right path for you. We can also explore your ability to connect with guides and angels. We can tune in and receive some divine guidance to help you on your journey of life. Most people find it HIGHLY valuable. Many have learned things about themselves that have been hidden for decades, and/or see a whole new path open up for them. It’s remarkably powerful.

The way it works is this – first we book a date for our session, then I send you a special questionnaire which you complete and return before the session. This enables you to gain some initial insights, and helps me prepare for our session. I also ask my angels for some guidance beforehand. We then have the session, which lasts up to two hours covering all the above plus whatever you want to cover, and see what emerges. You will finish with a much clearer view of the direction ahead, what you need to do next, plus some divine guidance and some insights and understanding about yourself and your life you probably never appreciated before. Most people are pleasantly surprised at how much they gain from it.

It can be done face to face here in Chelmsford, or by telephone from the comfort of your own home. Both work equally well – some like to meet me in person, others are happy to settle for it by phone. The whole process takes about 3 hours of intense work of my time (preparation and 2 hour session) focusing entirely on you and your life. I have been guided to charge £75 for the whole 3 hours of my time, or if you contact me within the next two weeks to book a session, you can have it for £65. It is highly valuable.

Is this of interest? Does it feel right for you? What does your intuition, heart or inner voice say…?

To book a session simply give me a call on 01245 460057 or drop me an email at mail@lifeworksinternational.com

If you get the answerphone, leave a message and number and I’ll call you back.

11. PREPARE TO MEET YOUR ANGELS

Would you like to learn how to communicate and work with your angels? I am now offering a 12 week preparatory course to help you get ready to work with them.

Working with the angels is easier when we have established the right conditions within ourselves and in our lives. The angels often direct people to take care of the basics, before doing further and higher work.

This inexpensive course is designed to help you prepare to meet and work with your angels. It is really intended for those who feel they would like to go on and do a full course to help them connect and work with the angels at the end of the preparatory course – the cost of this preparatory course will be deducted from the full programme.

The preparatory course will help you get ready, and begin to explore you link with the angels. This starts with the Life Review session, and is suitable for those who have had an initial session already but not gone further, or for new people who are interested in developing this.

Do you feel you would like to get ready to learn how to connect with your angels.

Call me for more details.
