In trying to decide what I should write as an article of interest, I was prompted to go back through my computer and look for something which already exists. The following was channelled by Mary and Louise who are beautiful teacher guides always willing to write when I offer up my time to receive their teachings.
We greet you today in love and light and thank the Almighty for the wonderful sunshine that he has given to us today.
This morning we would wish to speak to you of the many things that are happening around you. It seems that your lives are so busy all the time that no-one ever gets to set aside time for themselves. How are you to grow as a person and how are you to focus on your spiritual path, if there is always something else that crops up and takes precedence?
Through the many messages that we as spirit pass to those on the earthplane, it is clear that so many of you are expending so much of your energies without ever replenishing it. We say to you to remember that at all times, you must put yourself first. We know that this goes against anything that you have been taught as it appears to be a selfish view. But, if you do not have any physical, emotional and spiritual strength, how is it that you can try to pass anything on to those around you? When you are of poor health, how is it that you expect to be able to keep your families in good health? When your spirits are low, how is it that you can keep their spirits up?
Please dear ones, do not be afraid to ask your guides for assistance in everything that you do. When you go to bed at night, ask them to replenish your energies. Take time out to spend relaxing in a hot bath with plenty of relaxing bubbles or bath salts. When you do this, you will find that you have time to reflect on your life and this is important for without reflection, how will you know where you are going, where you have been and what it is that you want or need for yourself? Do not ever deny yourself what you need. We do not say to you to spend lots of money on yourself and to ignore the needs of everyone else. What we say is that you need to take time for yourself and this costs nothing. Instead of rushing around all day and focusing on everyone else around you, bring your focus back to yourself at least once a day whether it be in the morning before the rest of the family has woken, whether it be in the afternoon where you can find yourself a quiet spot to just sit and take in the beautiful sunshine or whether it be in the evening when you can relax with a book or your favourite television show or just sit and relax.
We say to you that time for meditation is of utmost importance to you all for if you do not spend time in meditation, how will you be able to connect with your guides in a way that you will be able to hear or sense their guidance and how will you be able to communicate with them to receive that which is important to your spiritual growth?
Dear ones, remember that without time for relaxation to give yourselves time to unwind on a daily basis, the emotional baggage gets too heavy and soon you will be inviting disease into your lives.
We leave you with these words of inspiration and trust that you will call on your guides always. Do not ever try to do anything on your own for their strength is there for you to partake of on a daily basis and their inner tuition is there also for you to partake of at any time necessary and it is with the utmost love, compassion and dedication that they will give you anything that your heart desires to ensure your emotional and spiritual upliftment, growth and sustenance.
With much love
Mary and Louise
