| June 28, 2015 Blessings: Happy Summer! I hope you are taking the time to enjoy this wonderful season! Every month I share a few of the articles and blogs I have written during the month. For this month, I'd like to share an article I wrote about how to create a more spiritual life. 5 Steps to a More Spiritual Life In our day-to-day lives, we tend to forget that the real reason we are here has more to do with our hearts and souls than anything else. Remember, we are spiritual beings having a human experience, not the other way around. That's why it's so important for us to focus as much on our spirituality as on our physical and emotional health. Don't worry if you think you're too busy, stressed, or tired to lead a more spiritual life. All it takes is a few small steps. With a little practice, you'll soon find yourself feeling more connected, positive, and loving than you might have ever expected! Step 1:Learn All You Can About Spiritual Principles Focus on what aspect of spirituality fascinates you, and learn all you can about it! Sign up for a class that interests you, or go to the bookstore and pick up a book that speaks to you. Step 2: Let the Past Be the Past It's true what they say: "All we have is right now." Don't let any negativity from your past prevent you from being present in the moment. You can't control the actions of your past or future self; so focus on letting go of what is out of your hands and try to remain in the moment. Step 3: Pray and Meditate Daily Take the time to pray and meditate each day. Prayer is talking to God and those in the celestial realm, whereas meditation is listening to them. As in any relationship, it's important to listen as well as to speak. You may wish to create a sacred space to make this practice even more meaningful. For example, you may choose to light a candle, turn on some soothing music, go to a tranquil spot in nature, or anything else that makes this daily practice feel good to you. Step 4: Decide to Make a Positive Difference In the World There's no quicker way to feel your connection with God than to help make the world a better place. If you're not sure where to start, simply ask God and the angels to guide you. Step 5: See Yourself and Others Through God's Eyes Try to see yourself and others (this includes animals!) through God's eyes, as the loving beings that you and they are. Also, make sure to forgive those who have harmed you. Always remember, when you hold unforgiving thoughts, you are only hurting yourself. The following statement says it perfectly: "It's not the snakebite that kills us; it's the venom that's left behind." So let go of any negativity from the past; learn all you can about spiritual ideals and principles; choose to make a positive difference in this world; direct your attention on God's energy within and around you; and love everyone, including yourself (and animals!) unconditionally. You will see - when you focus on the spiritual aspect of yourself and others, you will become a more peaceful and loving person. You will be creating a better world, not only for yourself, but for all those in your path as well! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Free Book and CD Giveaways Congratulations to the winners of June's Book Giveaway Contest: April Fogle of Pennsylvania and Colleen Harris of Michigan!

The Angel Quest Radio Show How to Focus on the Blessings Around You to Heal Your Grief on the Next Angel Quest Radio Show July 4 at 1:05pm Eastern Time on www.wrcr.com Tune in to the next Angel Quest Radio Show on www.wrcr.com on July 4 at 1:05pm Eastern time. **Due to the holiday weekend, this will be a repeat show. The show will be about the Law of Attraction and how focusing on positive aspects can help during the grieving process. We'll be discussing the importance of concentrating on how your loved ones lived, not how they died, and the blessings all around you. My guest during the second part of the show will be Josie Varga. Despite having both cerebral palsy and bilateral hearing loss, she considers herself very fortunate, as she prefers to live her life focusing on the positive. Josie does not consider herself disabled, and never will. Her disability, she believes, is her strength, not her weakness. Discovering her passion for writing as a little girl growing up in Elizabeth, New Jersey, she went on to earn a degree in journalism and worked her way up to Director of Communications and Editor for an international trade association where she met and interviewed celebrities, authors, speakers, sport personalities and others. Josie later became a successful communications consultant while authoring her first book, Footprints in the Sand: A Disabled Woman's Inspiring Journey to Happiness. Since then, she has become a motivational speaker, encouraging audiences to strive to overcome and sharing the importance of having a positive mental attitude in life. Her second book, Visits from Heaven is a compilation of remarkable experiences by ordinary people who have been communicated with in some way by loved ones who have passed on. Her next book, Visits to Heaven, which can be considered a sequel to Visits from Heaven, focuses on near-death experiences. Make Up Your Mind to be Happy: 105 Simple Tips is yet another non-fiction work of Josie's. It combines simple, yet effective happiness "tips" with contributions from several renowned experts in the field. "Divine Visits," Josie's fifth title and the second follow-up to her best-selling book, Visits from Heaven, delivers proof of miracles and divine encounters. A creative thinker, Josie holds patents for two inventions. Josie has also written treatments for a documentary version of Visits From Heaven as well as several new reality television shows, one of which is now being considered by producers in New York City and Los Angeles, California. It's going to be a great show! So tune in on July 4 on www.wrcr.com (just press "listen live") at 1:05pm Eastern time. Many blessings to you! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Karen Noe's Classes in July For those who are in the NJ/NY area, here is a list of classes and events I'll be doing in July.

Receiving Signs and Messages From Deceased Loved Ones Your loved ones who have crossed over really are okay - and they want you to be sure of that. One reason why people sometimes believe they aren't receiving messages from deceased loved ones is because they missed the signs when they came. Here are three of the most common ways to receive messages. Make sure to become familiar with them so you don't miss anything! Dreams One of the easiest ways for them to come through is in the dream-state. However, if you don't wake up after the dream, you will not remember it. So before you go to sleep, ask your loved ones to enter your dreams and be sure to tell them to wake you up afterwards. Be persistent, and even if you don't dream of them right away, continue to invite them to come into your dreams on several consecutive nights. Remember, they will come when the time is right. "Without a Doubt" Signs Our deceased loved ones love to let us know when they are around. Make sure to look for signs around you, such as the bumper stickers or license plates of cars that cut you off, songs on the radio with messages that seem to be just for you, objects that fly off shelves, specific fragrances that come out of nowhere, significant numbers you see over and over again, electrical appliances going on and off, pennies or other coins that always seem to be in your path, feathers that appear in the most unpredictable places, and so forth. Thoughts You may be dismissing messages because you think the messages are just your thoughts. Most of the messages I receive come through simply as thoughts that just "pop" into my head. The most common way your loved ones communicate with you is telepathically, that is, they send their thoughts to you. But how do you separate your thoughts from their thoughts? Simply trace your thought and see if you can figure out how it originated. If you can't pinpoint it, and the thought just "popped" into your head for no apparent reason, it may very well be your loved one trying to talk to you. When this happens, make sure to quiet yourself. Then, ask the person who it is and listen. You may receive more thoughts, words, pictures, smells or even feelings. Your loved ones often decide to give you messages when you least expect them, so make sure to be aware of what is going on around you at all times. When they are finally able to communicate with you, they will be so happy to have finally made that connection too!! Many blessings to you! Have an amazing day! Angel Hugs, Karen No? xoxo |
