Let’s face it, the ego can be a force. With all the influences bombarding the decision making process in every moment of every day, maintaining a clear, healthy channel for communication with the angels is both a task and a priority.
There’s an essential guideline I’ve come to embrace for reliable angel communication and keeping the ego at bay. With the intensity of our modern times, it’s been something I’ve had to call into my conscious mind frequently when making day to day choices.
Follow the clear YES.
This may seem simple and in theory it is. In practice, however, you’d be surprised how often we make choices based on “maybe guidance”. Blinders on because a dear friend recommends something… it’s what you’ve always done… it’s what you crave. We all do it! I still catch myself.
Guidance that’s not quite there. Perhaps even 95%. But 95% is still not a clear yes.
A yes to act on guidance is always a clear yes. 100%. Anything else…is a no. Which doesn’t mean that no won’t turn into a yes. It could. The angels might be holding you back for timing purposes to create a better outcome or there may be some other variable that has yet to come into play.
I’ve caught myself in the Land of Murky Guidance and applied this practice to choices around everything from house buying to shoe shopping to what book I read next.
The truth is, there’s no such thing as murky guidance. The guidance is always clear. It’s whether we are listening and embracing what the angels are directing, or not.
The ego wants things. The soul knows what it needs. The angels connect us with the soul’s agenda and shows the path. Our job is to align with that path.
EXERCISES
Yes + Stop
I’m sharing two exercises this month because… well, these are both important and straightforward.
Exercise #1 – Follow your YES. Check yourself this month and if you catch yourself making a decision from a place of compromise, take a moment and center. Wait as you are able. Clarity always follows. It’s usually a matter of tweaking and timing.
I shared a personal story with our Living with the Angels members a few months ago about 3 pairs of sandals that had been sitting in my shopping cart for days… because as cute as they were, I never got the clear yes to hit the buy button.
Turns out I never did get the yes, so no order placed. The angels took care of me though – instead I was guided to one pair from one company and another pair (on sale!) from another. Saved me money and more importantly, was the aligned decision.
Exercise #2 – 1,2,3,…stop!
Another popular one from our community. Choose an audio (e.g. song) or video (e.g. this month’s Messages from the Angels) and slide the play button forward until you feel you’re guided to stop. What is being said or shown in that moment? What is the message in that clip your angels wanted you to experience?
When I did this for myself, I was guided to a 20 Minutes of Adorable Kittens video (what can I say?!). I pushed the play button forward and stopped at a segment of a kitten licking a fox kit. A message to dispel assumptions of what is and isn’t compatible. In the end, there’s just love. Why I needed this in that moment? Because it’s been an intense week and I needed a simple reminder. Sometimes, that’s all there is to it!
