conscious creation

I just started making videos of the angels and ascended masters - so for Wordless Wednesday here is a wordy video.

With love and aloha,

I live on the Big Island of Hawaii, the home of Pele. Right now the volcano is very active and creating a beautiful show as it flows down the pali and into the ocean. I feel so honored to have the opportunity to live in her backyard and be a caretaker for a small piece of her aina (land).

Pele is definitely the goddess of fire. Light a big candle or build a bonfire. Write a letter to this fiery goddess. Tell her what you want to let go of, what you would like to transform and what you are willing to do. Choose your words carefully. Not only is she a jealous goddess but she knows how powerful your words are. When the letter feels right burn it and throw the ashes into the wind. Listen carefully for her guidance and allow her to help you transform your life.

Pele will help you:

Increase the passion in your life
See your life with greater clarity and understanding
Transform your thinking
Deal with an unfaithful lover
Get to the heart of the matter

A friend sent me this and I thought it was very interesting. I have no idea who the original author was but I am passing it along with thanks to the writer whoever they are!

The 4th of July

Have you ever wondered what happened to the 56 men who signed the
Declaration of Independence?

Five signers were captured by the British as traitors, and tortured
before they died.

Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned.

Two lost their sons serving in the Revolutionary Army; another had two
sons captured.

Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or hardships of the
Revolutionary War.

They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their
sacred lives.

What kind of men were they?

Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists. Eleven were merchants, nine
were farmers and large plantation owners; men of means, well educated,
but they signed the Declaration of Independence knowing full well that
the penalty would be death if they were captured.

Carter Braxton of Virginia, a wealthy planter and trader, saw his
Ships swept from the seas by the British Navy. He sold his home and
properties to pay his debts, and died in rags.

Thomas McKeam was so hounded by the British that he was forced to move
his family almost constantly. He served in the Congress without pay,
and his family was kept in hiding. His possessions were taken from
him, and poverty was his reward.

Vandals or soldiers looted the properties of Dillery, Hall, Clymer,
Walton,Gwinnett, Heyward, Ruttledge, and Middleton.

At the battle of Yorktown, Thomas Nelson, Jr., noted that the British
General Cornwallis had taken over the Nelson home for his
headquarters.

He quietly urged General George Washington to open fire. The home was
destroyed, and Nelson died bankrupt.

Francis Lewis had his home and properties destroyed. The enemy jailed
his wife, and she died within a few months.

John Hart was driven from his wife’s bedside as she was dying. Their
13 children fled for their lives. His fields and his gristmill were
laid to waste. For more than a year he lived in forests and caves,
returning home to find his wife dead and his children vanished. Some
of us take these liberties so much for granted, but we shouldn’t.

So, take a few minutes while enjoying your 4th of July holiday and
silently thank these patriots. It’s not much to ask for the price
they paid.

Remember: freedom is never free!

Patriotism is NOT a sin, and the Fourth of July has more to it than
beer, picnics, and baseball games.

With love and aloha,
Susan

Yesterday I got 24 three day old baby chicks. They are little balls of fluffy down that peep a lot. They are so cute. As I sat watching them I thought of all those sparks of spirit animating their little bodies. Angels having the incredible opportunity to have a physical experience inside a chickens body.

As I sat quietly watching the chicks I could understand St. Joseph and his flights of ecstasy. When I was writing about him for The Encyclopedia of Angels, Spirit Guides and Ascended Masters I really enjoyed getting to know St. Joseph. Almost any type of spiritual experience would trigger St. Joseph’s religious ecstasy and his ability to levitate. He would fly high over the heads of other people and float for long periods of time over the altar.

While I was writing about him I had an amusing thought. I imagined of the brothers praying and meditating in the chapel at 4 o’clock in the morning. They were cold and tired when Joseph goes floating by. One brother would look up and say, “There goes Joseph. Hope the candles aren’t too high.” The Saints were amazing people. I learned so much from them about what is possible in my own life.

As I watched the baby chicks flutter and flit about I thought of Joseph. I was amazed by the miracle of life. A few days before these little fluffy chicks were inside an egg, they had to fight their way out, they were put in a box and flown all the way to Hawaii. And now 24 of them are starting their lives as my companions. They will have a pretty good life here on Green Acres.

Within a day they have already grown small feathers on their wing tips and on their tails. The universe is so amazing and so absolutely perfect. Of course Boots the cat thinks I got them just for her. I keep reminding her they are the same birds that chase her when she is out in the yard. I am not too sure if that is helping.

My dog Ginger thinks it is her job to take care of the chickens and she takes her job very seriously. If the hens out in the yard make unusual noise she immediately bolts for the door. Now she is on chick duty and I think she loves it!

The baby chicks and the saints reminded me that miracles are possible. When we live life from a place of a profound and active connection to the divine anything is possible. Saints are merely people who lived their lives from that place of connection. They were no different from you or I. They just focused the majority of their attention on their love of God however they defined that being.

May your day be full of magic and miracles,
Susan

Aloha everyone,

When I first began my spiritual journey I really thought it was about learning lessons. And believe me it felt like I had a lot of lessons to learn! The funny part was as long as I thought of my process that way life felt like it was a series of tests and I kept getting poor grades.

Then one day while I was meditating I realized it was a matter of remembering my true nature. There was nothing I needed to learn. I just needed to surrender my old limiting beliefs and remember my limitless nature.

That realization made a huge difference in my life. No more tests, no more suffering, just a wonderful journey in which I continually deepened my connection with who and what I really am. My life became a blessed journey and the universe became a much more loving and supportive place. When I had to learn lessons the universe seemed more like an opponent than a wonderful environment specifically designed to help me reconnect with my limitless nature.

Are you still learning and being tested or are you ready to just remember?

With love and aloha,
Susan

Welcome to my new blog. There is a story behind its name. One of my friends in San Diego was a crusty old man with an incredibly beautiful spirit. Whenever he’d say good bye he’d smile broadly and say, ‘Angels on your shoulders!’ At the time I thought it was cute but certainly never expected to write a book about angels.

I am so blessed that I now have the opportunity to show people how to connect with the angels and other celestial beings that always surround us and are so willing to help even though we so seldom acknowledge their presence. Anyone familiar with my work knows that I am very concrete, practical and grounded. Angels can be presented in an airy, fairy way or we can learn to make them an integral part of our lives, using them to help us feel loved and safe enough to risk opening our hearts and our minds to the limitless possibilities life holds.

Writing a book on angels wasn’t particularly on my list of ‘to dos’ but when my agent asked me if I would be interested in writing this encyclopedia I answered with a resounding YES. Writing this book has been such an incredible gift in my life and hopefully it will be in the lives of its readers. I feel like a messenger delivering a reminder that anything is possible and that hope, joy, love, laughter, magic and miracles can become the basis of our everyday lives.

This blog will be a collection of ‘feel good’ stories, practical ways to improve the quality of your life and hopefully your stories as well. Over the years I have collected emails, often by anonymous authors that offer profound insights and expand the way I think about life. So if you have a story or questions feel free to e mail me at susan@angelsonyourshoulder.com. I look forward to getting to know you and sharing the love, light and laughter angels always bring with them.

Remember angels can fly because they take themselves lightly and there are always “Angels on your shoulder!”

With love and aloha,
Susan
