This week's messages
What Will They Think?
Many of our life decisions are made based on what
others will think of us, how they will react to what we
do or what we expect of them. This also true of our
decision to forgive. We will probably spend more time
considering the outcome, relative to others, than in
making the decision to forgive itself. If we have a long-
standing history with someone, the 'other' factor
becomes even more important. In fact, the more
someone 'matters' to us, the more difficult it will be for
us to allow forgiveness to occur with detachment.
First, though, we must get past considering, worrying
or thinking about what others will think.
Forgiveness takes us down a different path with
everyone that we forgive. Relationships that are
dramatic or chaotic will change irrevocably because
forgiveness takes us out of the drama and chaos.
Releasing long-held pain and hurt may end our
association with the person who caused them. And if
our history with them has been difficult, their first
reaction may well be to wonder whether we have lost
our mind. Or, they may wonder whether we have an
ulterior motive and will come back to the situation at
some point in the future and make them look foolish.
We spend our lives in various kinds of relationships with
a wide variety of people. And what they think about us
is important to us. But when we make the decision to
forgive, we remove our feelings about whatever
happened between us from the process and let it go.
Will the other person take our forgiveness seriously, will
they believe us? It doesn't matter and it cannot matter
to us. What is important is that we forgive with
detachment so that the existing situation, whatever it
is, can end and new beginnings can occur, with or
without them.
Detachment is an important part of forgiveness,
meaning that we must remove all emotions and
expectations from that process. We forgive because we
are willing to end our karma with someone, to walk
away from the drama with them and to release
ourselves and them from whatever we have held onto
that kept us in drama and chaos. What the other
person thinks about that is irrelevant. Forgiveness is
something that we do for ourselves. That is why it is
often easier to forgive in private, especially if the
circumstances are particularly difficult. We don't have
to share our forgiveness exercise with someone else,
unless we are comfortable with that exchange. This
week if you are working on a forgiveness exercise, write
down what you believe the other person will think of
your efforts. Be honest with yourself-you don't have
to share this with them. Then, acknowledge those
emotions and thoughts and let them go, remembering
that forgiveness is the next step on your spiritual
journey and by forgiving them, you also make it part of
theirs.

Blessings to you all!
The October article is posted on the Uriel Heals
website and this month's message is about Forgiveness.
Forgiveness is the key to raising our consciousness and
experiencing the Shift energy. We heal our karma with
others when we forgive them. What will they think of
our efforts and is that an important part of our decision
to forgive? Read more in this week's article. The topic
of this week's Today's Children article looks at teenage
Indigos and how they are leaving their parents' homes,
voluntarily or involuntarily, and finding new homes.
... Uriel's message this week is about lessons in love.

Spiritual Wholeness
One of the new phrases in the spiritual lexicon is
spiritual wholeness. Some teachers define it as being
always present; others define it as being in spiritual
integrity. It means different things to each of us,
depending on our ability to perceive and understand
new spiritual teachings and information. In a general
sense, we become spiritually whole when we recapture
the pieces of our spirit that we have left behind each
time we experienced an emotional trauma.
Every emotion carries an energetic component, or
charge. Each time that we engage in a heated
emotional exchange, have a scary experience, are hurt
or somehow upset, no matter how insignificant that
experience may seem, we lose some of our spiritual
energy to that process. Have you noticed how
remembering a painful or fearful incident can
immediately bring you back to that situation and the
pain or fear is present and as strong as it was when
you first experienced it? Scientists have proven that
people experience the same degree of emotional
intensity when remember an incident that happened
five minutes ago or five decades ago.
Regaining our spiritual wholeness is an important part of
our spiritual journey because as we raise our vibrations
we must leave our emotional baggage behind. The
process is not as simple as just saying that we'll let it
go or not think about it any more. We have to process
the emotions and consciously release them so that we
can regain the spiritual energy that we lost. This means
that the next time we remember the incident we won't
feel the same degree of loss, pain or fear. It will just be
another stopping place on our life journey.
As we progress through the Shift we will be reminded of
those things that we need to let go of in order to move
forward. Sometimes this period of remembering will
make us angry and sad, but the emotions come up so
that we can process them, regain our emotional energy
and then release them. It may be helpful to take time
to remember individual incidents one at a time so that
we fully process the emotion. During this exercise, we
must also not blame ourselves or others, regret, wish
that it had not happened or otherwise think that we
can change the past. All we can do is move forward
within the present moment. If you choose to work on
your spiritual wholeness, be gentle with yourself and
congratulate yourself for having the courage to
remember who you are, a spiritual being who is perfect,
whole and complete, living the best life that you can
create for yourself.

Uriel's Message--Lessons in Love
Each of our life experiences is a lesson in love. Even if
you do not think that many of these experiences are
very 'lovely,' loving or lovable, they are all part of the
contract that you entered into to bring your soul into
greater communion with the Source. Before you can
move forward on your journey, you must learn to love
each incident, experience, situation and person that
participated in your journey. Each person or situation
that appears to block your path is not there for you to
hate; they are all there to teach you a lesson in love.
Can you love those who are difficult, demanding and
who challenge you on every level? Perhaps their
behavior is not very loving but they are not their
behavior. Their behavior towards you holds an
important message for you. When you learn to see
each person as a spiritual being, you will see past the
behavior, the pain and the fear. Then you can love
them for their participation in your journey. It is your
choice as to whether or not you engage in struggles
with them, for you always have the choice to walk
away from any experience that no longer serves you.
Learning the lesson in love is the way that you do that.
Just as your forgiveness practice can be done in
private, so can your lessons in love. You do not have
to tell anyone that you love them and that you
understand their participation in your journey. Your
thoughts are even more powerful and carry much more
energy than your words so if you follow the practice of
sending everyone in your life unconditional love through
your thoughts, you will see miraculous changes in the
way people treat you and in the types of people who
come into your life.
The unkind, thoughtless people in your life are difficult
to love, but instead of thinking 'I hate it when they do
that,' or 'I just can't stand that person,' instead, thank
them for being your spiritual teacher and send them
unconditional love. In doing that, you remove the
emotions that they can connect to, for they feel and
respond to the energy of your thoughts, and they can
complete their lesson with you and move on to other
things with other people. Or they can renew their
relationship with you in a different, more loving way.
This week, consider the people who are providing you
with lessons in love. Send them unconditional love
with each thought that you have about them. Their
response to the power of your loving thoughts will
surprise you and you will both have learned your lesson
in love.

Indigo Children Finding Home
There is a new generation of children in the world and
they are known by many names, including Indigo and
Crystal Children, Star Children, Light Children. Whatever
name they are known by, they are a generation that
we have never seen before and they have special
needs, gifts and talents. The Crystal and Indigo
children represent the new, higher energetic patterns
that are arriving to change the Earth's vibrational
frequency.This new series provides information on
these children and the wonderful gifts they bring to the
world.
When my children were in high school I noticed that
many of their friends liked to hang around our house all
of the time. Although I worked, I was always home to
fix dinner and spent evenings at home with my children.
On weekends, the ones who spent the night would
awaken to a big, home-cooked breakfast and I was
always willing to listen to their problems and give
advice if they asked for it. One of my son's friends
moved into our house for a few months when his
parents threw him out of his home. Then I began to
notice that many of these children, most of them
Indigos, were being asked to leave their homes and had
to find new places to live. Although I was dismayed at
this, I now recognize it as the process of the Indigos
finding a home that meets their needs. I know that it
was difficult for many of them but they generally found
someone who would take them in and care for them.
It is not easy to parent an Indigo child-they can be
difficult, argumentative, resist any kind of rules or
structure and do not like being told what to do. While it
is important for parents to set boundaries, it is
also critical that Indigos have or find find a safe space
where they can
learn to control and work with their energy. If this is
not available in their home, then they will
unconsciously create a situation where they have to
leave their home and go and live somewhere else. They
will seek out and find someone who understands their
energy and who can help guide them through difficult
periods. Sometimes this may last for a few weeks or
months, or it may last until they are old enough to be
on their own.
I admire the people who open their homes to children
who are lost, troubled and confused. These children are
generally not 'bad' children, they just need help
managing their energy. The teenagers who were always
at my house were polite, helpful, well-behaved and
very communicative. That is not what their parents
said about them. But I knew that they just needed to
be heard and understood. Indigo children, especially
those in their teenage years, are having great difficulty
right now and they need our help. Whether you take a
child into your home or work with them after school or
on weekends, it is important that they have the
opportunity to be around adults who will appreciate and
understand their energy and who can help them find a
safe space or a home. If you are guided to work with
these children, know that it is because they are
struggling with their live situation and if you do not find
them, they will find you. All you have to do is listen and
understand and you can make the difference in their
lives.
