Every day, each one of us will make many decisions regarding where we place our focus/attention and how we choose to use our energy. The question is not whether we choose to make these decisions; rather the question is, will we choose where and how to focus our attention and energy consciously or unconsciously?
Where and how we choose to focus our attention will strongly influence the use of our energy. Energy follows thought.
I encourage you to be the "gatekeeper" of your own thoughts. Being the "gatekeeper" means to be mindful of what we put into our mind. This includes (but is not limited to) TV or movies we watch, and books, articles and news we read. Just remember, everything counts.
The Universe operates through the Law of Vibration. Everything vibrates, everything is in motion. Even our mental and emotional states carry there own vibratory signature. Whether they are aware of it or not, even the mildly sensitive person will pick up on the underlying mental and emotional vibrations of another person. For this reason, I always like to encourage people to be very aware of the vibrational energy in their own homes.
Ideally, our home is one place where we would like to have the feelings of love, peace, and acceptance. Each of these feelings carry there own unique vibrational feel. At the same time, in our daily walk in the world, there are times when we personally experience or we are in the presence of mental and emotional states which are more on the negative side. By negative, I mean the mental and emotional states that do not serve our highest and best good.
There are ways we can choose to protect ourselves from allowing lower, negative vibrations from effecting us or bringing those energies into our homes. One of the ways we can protect ourselves is by surrounding ourselves with the Pure White Light. This Light is Spiritual Light. We can mentally, visually, invoke the Pure White Light to surround us and enfold us so that only the highest and best many come from us, as well as come to us.
Some people have asked me when they should surround themselves with the Pure White Light. While the answer may be different for different people and situations in their life, at a minimum, start with the first thing when you wake up and again as you go to sleep.
Surround yourself with the Pure White Light so that only the highest and best may come from you and come to you throughout the day.
In Love and In Light,
Michael

Try Harder or Try Easier, It is Your Choice
Each of us have been given "free will." This means that each of us has the free will to think, speak and act accordingly based on how we choose to be in the world. We have the free will to believe (or not believe) whatever we choose.
From time-to-time when the circumstances of life become difficult for us, we have free will to choose to go it alone by trying harder, or we have the free will to choose to ask for help. Furthermore, if and when we choose to ask for help (which can be very difficult for some of us), we can choose to ask for help from friends or family members, and we can ask for spiritual help and guidance.
Our Divine Parents honor the free will they have so freely given to us. This is very important to understand. If we truly desire spiritual help and guidance in our life, we must ask for it! By asking for spiritual help and guidance, we are inviting God into our lives. Clearly, God knows what we need even before we ask, but it is in the asking, it is in the inviting in, which opens the door to Divine intercession into our lives.
Surrendering our free will by being open to flow in God's Divine Will, can be one of the easiest hardest things to do. If this is a new concept for you, than it can be hard to do initially. But in truth, surrendering my human will over to Divine Will can be very freeing.
So next time the going gets tough for you, I invite you to call on God's intercession into your life to handle the situation for you "in perfect ways and under grace."
Know this, your Divine Parents, through their incomprehensible love, wait patiently for your invitation to open the door for their guidance and direction. We only need to ask and know that our call has been heard.

Good Morning God
Some time ago, I attended a class taught by Julie. Little did Julie know that she gave everyone in the class a great little gift. I am thankful for her gift and would like to pass it along by sharing it with you.
Julie would begin each day of the class by saying the following:
Good Morning God,
Thy will be done,
Today is a day of completion,
Thank you for a perfect day,
Miracle will follow miracle,and
Wonders will never cease.
(Original prayer by Florence Scovel Shinn, The Game of Life and How to Play It, (pp. 36-7))
From a metaphysical perspective, this short saying is jam-packed with meaning. Too much in fact to go into in detail in this article.
Ever since I first heard this little prayer, saying it has been a part of my morning routine. This short saying helps me to connect with God each morning. It serves as a nice reminder that the Divine Presence is right here with me, not just in some far off location. It states that I am open to God's will being done in and through my life today.
I am sure that this little prayer will have its own special meaning to you. If you already have a special way of connecting with God each morning, then by all means, continue with what you have. If you do not have a special way of connecting with God each morning, then you are invited to try this one.
Blessings to you my dear friends!

The Soul Knows: Your Built-In Compass
When consulting with people on their spiritual growth and spiritual guidance, I receive a lot of questions that sound like, "What should I be reading, studying and doing for my spiritual growth?" While I think the answer to this or similar questions is different and very personal to the individual based on where they are coming from (their own personal spiritual experiences and interests), I do believe that there are some commonalities to consider.
When we are earnestly seeking spiritual guidance in our life, this guidance will largely come to us in two forms. Internal guidance and external guidance. I recommend combining the two by seeking out both internal and external guidance. This article could be an example of external guidance; however, the content of this message is regarding one form of internal guidance.
One of the commonalities which we all possess, but often times overlook or don't consider at all, is Our Soul. If we pay attention, our soul will act as a compass of sorts, leading us to what it is we seek to learn and experience in this lifetime. The communication between your soul and your conscious mind comes in the form of intuition, a flash of thought and feelings in your solar plexus. We often hear the later being described as a "gut feeling" or something similar.
We all receive these communications from our soul, but equally as often, we tend to discount these subtle forms of communication. We tend to doubt our intuition or flashes of thought and chalk them up as our imagination. It is difficult for our soul to get through to us, difficult for the soul to impress on the mind the guidance we seek, when our mind is going a hundred-miles-per-hour.
Set your intention and step out of the way. Be open and expect, as you have asked (in this example of spiritual guidance) for Spirit and your Soul to bring into your life what it is you need at this time. The guidance may come in ways that you did not expect. Be patient, be open and pay attention. Pay attention to how you feel when you are drawn to something to read. Pay attention to your intuition and those flashes of thought that pop into your mind out of nowhere. Quiet your mind enough so that you may hear the internal guidance that comes your way.
This is one way your soul can lead you to the next step in your spiritual journey!
Many Blessings to you!
