What in your life is keeping you captive? What thought
patterns have kept you from spiritual ascension and enjoying life? What do you
need Independence from in your personal world? What holds you back?
These thoughts come to the surface as Independence Day
for United States is being celebrated today. Independence from British rule and
celebration of when United States became a new entity is the focus in the US.
For myself as I do my personal spiritual work, I am
focusing on balance. Most days I put in 10-12 hours of work. Though I may only
have 2-4 hours of actual readings, the rest of the day is spent on the
marketing, bookkeeping, writing, promotional and correspondence side of the
business. I love my work, but I have been working on taking some down time each
day and a couple of days off a week.
The thought patterns I have been releasing and becoming
Independent of relate to having picked up from society that in order to be a
good person one must work 24/7. "It is selfish to take time just for
yourself and to have fun. You always must be helping someone in order to be a
good person." These are a couple of thoughts that I incorporated into my
energy and have been releasing the past few years.
To enforce these negative thoughts, I have had some
people criticize me because I play going to Renn Faires, Pirate Fests or go out
to hear bands with my boyfriend. Some (whom are caught in their own slavery of
the Patriarchal religion) have even criticized the way I dress. They place judgments
on my spirituality. The thought patterns
of others is part of what had kept me in slavery to old outworn definitions of
good and bad.
Archangel Anael and the Angels of Light want to help us be
free from these things that hold us back from our inner truth. Enjoying life
here in many aspects and celebrating freedom from the Muggle (world, mundane)
way of thinking is one of the messages of the angels. Learning the difference
between Self-Care and Selfishness is part of the balance. Living a life free of guilt and dancing in the
higher vibration of Divine Light while we learn to fly with the angels is part
of our Independence process.
I encourage you today to go deep within and examine your
thought processes and inner judgments. Partner with the Angels to unveil what
has held you captive. What do you wish to release? What do you choose to claim Independence
from today?
