Fearless Fridays: what's your greatest fear?

Aloha,

I was quite amazed when I was doing research about the top ten fears. They were: long words (that being first really amazed me), flying, clowns, heights, death, being alone, the dark, public speaking, commitment and intimacy. Of course, no matter what the fear, imagining an angel holding your hand and walking you through it is the best way I know to overcome any and all fears.

But when fear has just coming roaring up to the surface and grabbed you by the throat remembering that angels even exist is often the challenge. I would love to hear how you overcome fear in your own life. I'll share some of my favorite ways of reconnecting with inner peace, love and the remembrance that I am always surrounded by love and am safe no matter what is happening.

Acts of compassion: Amma the hugging saint

Aloha,

amma.jpg

This week two of my themes have been compassion and acts of kindness. Recently I was introduced to Amma the hugging saint. I was deeply moved by the love she shows. She will spend up to 22 hours a day hugging and blessing people an amazing act in and of itself.

In her own words, " As a child, I always wanted to know the cause of misery of mankind and thought that if sorrow is a truth, then there must be a cause and a way out. 

" I realize my purpose is to console - to personally wipe away tears through selfless love, compassion, and service."

Here is a beautiful photo gallery with some of her quotes.

Wordless Wednesday: Joy

Aloha,

This week's theme for me has been love, joy, compassion, prayer and meditation. Today I will share images of people in my groups that share those feelings. Allow yourself to feel the joy and love radiating from these pictures.

I hope you enjoy them and allow the images to touch your heart and your mind.

Charter for compassion: angels in action

Aloha,

Yesterday I challenged you to do several random acts of kindness and then today I received a message about an organization called Charter for Compassion.

This is their mission:

A call to bring the world together...

The principle of compassion lies at the heart of all religious, ethical and spiritual traditions, calling us always to treat all others as we wish to be treated ourselves. Compassion impels us to work tirelessly to alleviate the suffering of our fellow creatures, to dethrone ourselves from the centre of our world and put another there, and to honor the inviolable sanctity of every single human being, treating everybody, without exception, with absolute justice, equity and respect.

But how can this affect your life if you are unemployed, underemployed, having health challenges or just simply afraid? Read on.....

Ordinary angels: random acts of kindness

Aloha,

I ran across this story the other day and it reminded me of my road angels. One day my car broken down in a tunnel where people regularly drove 60 MPH. I was almost hit and two men in a pick up pulled up in front of me, hooked on a rope and pulled my car to safety. They left before I could even say thank you. I know they saved me from having a terrible accident.

This angel saved Janel a lot of heartache. Random acts of kindness make us feel better, help another person, even if we remain anonymous and definitely make the world a better place. I challenge you to do two good deeds this week.

Miracles and angel biscuits

In Jewish tradition the word we translate “miracle” is nes. A nes is a sign, like a flag, waiving above a building or a marker, drawing your attention to something special. I thought about the idea of miracles as markers and as I looked at my life I saw a lot of miracles.

About Angels on Your Shoulder

Susan Gregg is the author of eight books including the award-winning "Mastering the Toltec Way" and "The Encyclopedia of Angels, Spirit Guides and Ascended Masters." She has been exploring spirituality since the early 1970s and completed an apprenticeship with Don Miguel Ruiz. Her greatest passion is showing others how they can be happy and this passion has resulted in her "Food for the Soul" podcast.

Currently, she lives on the Big Island of Hawaii where she is an avid gardener, hiker, and writer. She often spends time playing with the four-legged friends she's rescued or swimming with the wild sea turtles and dolphins.

About the Art

The angel image in the header art above and the Pele image below are from Susan's book, "The Encyclopedia of Angels, Spirit Guides and Ascended Masters." The images are used with permission from Fair Winds Press.


About Pele
Pele is the Hawaiian goddess of the volcano as well as the goddess of transformation, passion, vitality and creation. Pele is a powerful force on the Hawaiian islands. Shortly after I moved to Hawaii, a friend suggested I have my property blessed. I asked Pele if I could live and work on her land. She graciously agreed, so I always take time to thank her and ask for her blessing in my endeavors.
