As Angels having a human adventure, sometimes you get caught in the busyness and drama of life. I want to remind you that this is only natural, and it is perfectly OK! The whole point of the human adventure is to experience in its fullness what it is to be human. That means that sometimes you will  get lost in the forgetting it means that you will believe the illusions of the world you are in and get caught by fear. The pace of life has accelerated and there always feels as if there is so much to be done and not enough time to do it  and as humans you are incredibly good at putting unnecessary pressures upon yourself. This in turn leads to judgement and self-criticism when you feel you have not done ‘enough’ or done ‘the right things’ with the precious time you have.

As a spiritual being having a human adventure, you will also have moments of awareness, moments of remembrance – when you see through the illusion, the forgetting and rather than celebrating these moments of freedom or remembrance you will then beat yourself up because you also have not been doing enough ‘spiritual work’. You will chastise yourself for not having done your meditation or yoga or other spiritual practice regularly or often enough.

I want you to know that WE, the Angels do not judge you, we do not keep score of what you have been doing or not doing, how many moments of awareness, how many moments of clarity or remembrance you have had – we are just delighted & celebrate when you do.

We understand that right now on your planet there is a lot to drag you back into the forgetting, there are so many daily challenges and for many of your reading this life will be more of a struggle than it has been for a while.

So, is it any wonder that you are focussing on doing your best to make your human life work? Of course not! We totally understand and this message is not to put any pressure on you, but more to give you the permission, that IT IS ALL OK. YOU ARE DOING REMARKABLY WELL CONSIDERING!

All we ask is that you do what you can, when you can. When you have a moment of remembrance, what might you do with that? When you feel your heart break out of compassion for another being upon your planet, what do you do to follow your heart and act? When you have a quiet moment that give you an opportunity to reflect, what do you choose to reflect upon? When you wake up one morning and feel the call of the heart to do your spiritual practice, follow that call. When you are ending your day and you wish to give thanks for it, then say your prayers, do your meditation, do your puja and thank the universe for it.

When the busyness of life subsides (which it occasionally will) ask yourself how you would like your life to be really. Ask yourself what you’d like to do more of, what brings you joy, happiness and peace. Ask yourself what makes your heart sing and do more of those things.

By doing these things, by using the brief moments of awakening during your busy lives, you are doing what you can to make the most of those moments. Sure you may well quickly forget again and get caught back up in the drama of life – but over time the more you do what you can in those moments of awareness and remembrance the more those moments will give rise to other moments, and before you know it you have more moments of remembrance and awareness and life will feel more and more alive and purposeful. 

So, do what you can, when you can. Be kind to yourself when you can’t or don’t remember that each remembrance is something to celebrate – before you know it your life will be one big celebration. So, love being human, enjoy your human adventure to the full, and do what you can to remember and honour your spiritual self too.

Upon your planet right now there is a lot of fear. It is clouding judgement, it is restricting your ability to be free. Fear is insidious, it gets under your skin, it uses the language of love (‘let me protect you’, ‘it’s better to be prepared’, ‘it’s dangerous out there, let me help you’) but never has your best wishes at heart. Fear is like the common cold, it is everywhere on your planet at the moment and it’s easy if you are not careful to catch it and be infected by it. So how does one fight fear? How does one defeat fear? You do so by daring to LOVE. 

The LOVE I am talking about here is not your human romantic love it is the all-powerful love that created the very universe you are living in. LOVE is the ultimate power and nothing, not even fear itself can exist in the presence of that love. So when you love, when you tap into the love that is within you, it means that fear begins to dissolve away and loses its hold over you. Love really is the best medicine. Love sees through fear, love helps control and end fear in your life. The more you love, the less space there is for fear. So daring to love is a great way to reduce the impact of fear in your life.

Inside of you there is a spiritual heart. The home of your angel-self, your soul if you will. You, as many of the greatest spiritual books have said, are god made manifest, you are divine and human both. It is within this spiritual heart that your divine-self resides. Your divine-self is still connected to the ‘ALL THAT IS’ and so the more you regularly connect with your divine-self, the more you re-connect to the infinite source of LOVE that IS, THE ALL THAT IS.

Connecting with your angel-self, your divine-self is much easier than you think. In fact, I offer this to you as something that anyone of you can do each and every morning as a practice. Each morning as you awake, before you do anything else, just spend a moment (in that wonderful space between dreaming and waking consciousness) to breathe consciously and, with each breath, to go within. As you take that inner-journey, begin to visualise your spiritual heart, no matter what you imagine it to be, just ‘see it’ however it comes to you. With each breath, you move towards it, then with the next breath you are IN it. This is the sanctuary of your soul, the residing place of your angel-self. Here there is just warmth, light, and an abundance of LOVE. As you sit within this space, BREATHE in the love that is all around you. Let it flow into you with each breath, it is like air only finer, golden, warm, restorative and healing. As you breath in that love, so the love fills you from tip to toe, flowing through your human body, filling your inner fuel tank of love. 

Keep breathing until you feel that your body, heart and soul are full, your mind empty of thought or worry. Breathe until your own inner fuel tank of love is topped up for the day. You will know this has happened as your eyes will naturally open, as if you are waking for the first time that morning. See the world around you, your bedroom, the view from your window, your beloved, your children, your pets, whoever is close to you as you wake – through those eyes of LOVE. This is how we, your angels, see you. 

There is no better way to start your day. This practice is a reminder, that inside of you is all the LOVE you will ever need. Just be re-connecting with that love that is within you, you ensure that your day will be a better day. 

May all your days be better days, may the love that is within you guide you and sustain you. 

With all my love, 

Emmanuel xx

When the world around you feels like it is slipping into shadow. When life feels as though it is a bit of a struggle. There is only one tonic, only one thing that can counteract the abundance of fear that is all around you – To do that which BRINGS YOU JOY.

Joy is love made manifest. Joy connects you to the essence of who you are, it breaks through any darkness like sun breaking through the clouds – it brings light(ness), it opens your heart (fully) and reconnects you to the magic that exists in every moment.

Fear tells you to worry about the future or worry about your past – but in the present moment there is a freedom that fear cannot touch, and it is JOY that is the vehicle that brings you to that present moment. 

Joy is something that cannot be faked, one cannot be ‘half-Joyful’ – it is a total body, mind, and spirit experience and when you experience Joy, fear cannot exist, darkness is dispelled and there is only the beauty of this present moment.

So, think for a moment, what truly brings you JOY? Make a list of things that are guaranteed to awaken JOY within you. Make sure that, at least once a week, you do something that brings you JOY and then the order and balance will return to your life. 

Life will no longer feel a struggle, and the darkness will feel, well, less dark! 

It may sound simple, but often it is the simple messages that are the most profound.

Make your list today, consider it a homework from me, Emmanuel. It will be, I promise, a homework that you will take great pleasure in doing and will give great pleasure for many, many, months and years to come. 

All my love,

Emmanuel xxx

There will be some of you right now who are suffering from a broken heart. I want you to know, that a broken heart is not as bad a thing as it feels right now. When a heart breaks, it is breaking only so that it might increase its capacity to love. Yes, it hurts, yes there will be pain, loss and emotional ups and downs – this is natural when one’s heart is breaking. However, know that a heart never gets smaller, only ever BIGGER. It is perhaps one of the most profound ways to shift and evolve yourself in your adventure in being human. It is also an invitation to fall back in love with YOURSELF.

When you lose another’s love, another’s company, it is an opportunity to reconnect with the love that is within you, and all around you. A reminder that, although it is wonderful to be ‘in love’ with another, the most important love of all is that which you show and give to yourself. We invite you now to spend a moment in the heart-break, and see that as the heart breaks so the love that is held within it is spilling out into YOU, becoming a part of you. All that once which was given to another, can now be given to yourself, to YOU. Why? Because love is the greatest healer, the greatest medicine of all. You feel sick inside, you feel hurt, you feel pain – let the love that is within your heart pour into you, merge into you, heal you, dissolve the pain and help your heart to heal and grow. I am not saying that there will not be days, weeks ahead that will be challenging, but know that whatever comes, that we will be with you. Your angels are there for you to reach out to too! So do invite them in each morning, ask them to be with you and to help you heal each and every day! Do ask them each night to surround you in their healing wings’ embrace, that is what they are here for. To hold you in the love that you are, to love you until your heart is healed. 

You will love again, and when you do, your capacity to love will not have diminished but indeed your capacity to love will have increased! That is the wonder of the heart, that is the magical nature of LOVE. 

All my love, Emmanuel x

Many of you reading this will be wondering, how can an angel understand the dance of human relationships? Well, once upon a time I too was in human form, I too chose human adventures, I too was just like you. There is a misunderstanding that angels are separate, different, removed from the human experience, and it is true that SOME are. Some were never destined to have a human incarnation, but others like myself have been through the cycles of human incarnation, have experienced the wonderful adventure of what it is to be in form and therefore have an understanding of what it is to be human. 

One of the wonders of the human experience is the wonder of human relationships. Your personal relationships are an opportunity to truly explore what LOVE is and are purposefully designed into the human adventure, so that everyone gets to experience LOVE – whatever their story is in this lifetime. 

LOVE is a part of everyone’s story. If you are in a human incarnation it is a core of your curriculum, like English or Mathematics at your schools, you cannot avoid it, it is always there, because LOVE is the most important keys to understanding and appreciating life itself. 

LOVE teaches in its absence and in its presence. If you felt unloved as a child, then that absence of love means that you seek it out, you yearn to find that love in other ways, in other relationships throughout your lifetime. If you had the opposite experience and were truly loved as a child, then you seek to replicate and share that love with others and perhaps you will indeed share that love with someone who felt unloved as a child.

LOVE is they key that unlocks the secrets of what it is to live and be alive. The dance of human relationships, be that parent/child, grandparent/grandchild, brother/sister, husband/wife, friends, lovers, or beloveds, IS the only dance there is. Sometimes the dance is in sync, flowing, moving effortlessly across the dancefloor, and other times it is out of sync, stilted, and you find yourself stepping on your dance partner’s toes. Always, relationships are a great opportunity to learn and grow, to understand at a deeper level the truth of who you are.

The secret to being a good dancer, is to practice, practice, PRACTICE. Exploring and growing your relationships, exploring and growing your ability to love and be loved, is the fastest way to a happier and more fulfilling life – it’s the best way to be a great dancer. 

Not everyone reading will have someone to call their love, their beloved. Not everyone will have their dance partner, but that does not mean you cannot dance, cannot experience what it is to be dancing across the stage of life, to be swept up in the beauty of love, the dance of LOVE. Love comes in many shapes and many forms. Relationships do too. 

So do what you can to extend and grow your relationships and, in doing so, you extend and grow the possibilities to love and be loved. Love is all around you, it is in you, it IS YOU. 

Dear sweet angel, I am here to remind you to keep on dancing, keep on exploring and growing your human relationships, and who knows? The next dance might be the one where you find your beloved, find a new friend, or connect even for a moment, in a way that transcends, that goes beyond the dance, beyond separation and connects you both to the deepest LOVE of all. 

All my love, Emmanuel x

When life feels hard and is getting you down. When things feel bleak or dark or fearful. Take a step outside, outside into the natural world. Nature is there to heal you, to fuel you and to reconnect you. There is so much beauty, if only you open your eyes and see. Even on the darkest day, nature is there awaiting you, waiting to share its beauty with you. The blue of the sky, the trees as they dance in the wind, the colours of nature – so vivid, so beautiful. God is in all things and god is all around you. The ancients knew this and that’s why they venerated nature, why they understood how important it was to connect with the world around them, and beneath their feet.

So, when things feel a struggle, let the wind blow those struggles away. When things feel dark, let the rays of the sun dispel the darkness and bring you back to the light. When fear has you in its grip, let the waves of the ocean break the spell and drag fear back into the depths where it belongs. When nothing looks right, just look at the detail and awesome beauty of a blooming flower. When nothing sounds right, listen to the songbird as it warbles its sweet melody in the twilight. When night falls upon you, look up to the stars and let them transport you back home, here in the heavens where you belong. Everyday find a little time to see the beauty, it fills the heart, clears the head and feeds your very soul. It is a great way to each day reconnect to the ALL THAT IS – and remind yourself that the planet that you live upon is really quite wonderful, and beautiful indeed.

Sending you all my love, Emmanuel xx
