This week's messages
What Makes You Happy?
Many years ago I wanted an expensive gold bracelet
that was really out of my budget. I knew that I would
be happy if I had that gold bracelet and was convinced
that with that gold bracelet on my arm, my life would
be perfect. So I paid for it a little each month until one
day it was mine. But I was very disappointed to see
that nothing in my life had changed. Having the
bracelet made me happy but the other problems in my
life were still there. I was not different, my life was not
different and the bracelet was simply another trinket
for my jewelry box. The happiness lasted several days
and then was gone.
I now realize that the bracelet was not the issue, I just
wanted to be happy and thought that this thing,
because it was very beautiful and very expensive,
would do the trick. The disappointment over how long
the happiness lasted made me regret the sacrifices I
made to be able to purchase the bracelet. And so I
continued on my quest for happiness. We all look for
things that will make us happy, that will ease our pain
and suffering, even for a short while. When we search
for things that make us happy we are forgetting that it
is our perspective and choices that are the source of
our unhappiness. So, since it is an 'inside' problem, it
requires an 'inside' solution.
What can make us happy will change based on our
needs at the moment. So what makes us happy one
day may not be as fulfilling the next. For example, what
made me happy when I was twenty is far different than
what makes me happy today. And, oddly enough, it
takes far less to make me happy today than it did
twenty years ago. Because I have made the choice to
live in joy, I don't look for happiness in things or people
any more. Instead, I made the decision to choose joy
and happiness became a way of life. Choosing joy is a
long-term solution to the happiness issue because our
joy comes from inside and becomes our state of being.
When we choose joy, we abandon fear and then we
can connect to the Source and move forward on our
spiritual path. Joy is Spirit's gift to us when we
acknowledge our power and divinity and choose to
remember that life is supposed to be effortless, fun and
happy. Once we choose joy happiness follows and then
we see the world from a different perspective. From a
spiritual perspective, joy is our natural state of being.
To see joy in action, watch a little child at play. Notice
how they smile and laugh and enjoy themselves. This
week, look at what you believe makes you happy. Are
you looking for an 'outside' solution to an 'inside'
problem? No matter what your circumstances are,
choose joy, connect with that energy and Spirit will
reward you with the things that make you happy.

Seeking the Light
I have a plant on a table in my office that is not close
to a window. The plant has been there for nearly a
year and is not growing well. In fact, when a new leaf
grows, one falls off. And the plant is spindly, pale and
leans towards the light from the window. Although I
wanted to keep the plant on the table, I finally moved
it closer to the light. Suddenly, the plant is full of new
growth, it is bright green again and there are no more
dying leaves. I had to give it what it wanted, to be
closer to the light, in order for it to grow.
And so it is with us. No matter how much or little
spiritual understanding we have, we all lean towards
the light. We need the light in order to feel whole, to
be free of fear, remind us of who we are and to move
forward on our spiritual path. Each person, whether
they are spiritually aware or not, will eventually arrive
at the place where they acknowledge their longing to
be in the light. It may take a long time, even a lifetime,
but we all get there at some point. How we seek the
light or how long it takes is not important. What is
important is that we recognize our soul's longing for the
light, for the peace and healing it provides us, and do
what is necessary to make that connection.
Our soul has different ways of bringing us to the light.
We may be guided to read a book, to watch a movie or
listen to a speaker. Someone may give us a tape to
listen to or we may hear a conversation in passing or
make a connection while answering another's question.
And our journey to the light has one purpose, to help
us reconnect to the Source. Within the light we are
safe, secure, at peace and loved beyond our
understanding. This is what our Soul remembers is
possible for us, is our true reality. Its job is to guide us
back there.
We no longer have to choose to be spiritual or material,
to live in one world or the other. It is our job, as
Lightworkers, to bring light to the world and in order to
do that we must live and work in the world. But we are
protected from the chaos and drama when we are in
the light because we know, in our own quiet way, that
we have access to the peace that passes all
understanding, unconditional love and forgiveness,
unlimited abundance and joy. Our soul tries, in many
different ways, to lead us to the light because we are
from the Light and when we are in the Light we are
always home.

Uriel's Message-The Path or the Illusion
Whatever your current circumstances, if you are not
free from fear and at peace, you are not living within
your natural state of being. If you are not surrounded
by abundance in all good things, if your needs are not
met by a constant stream of miracles, your life is an
illusion. There are two ways of living, within your
natural state of being and on your spiritual path or
within the illusion of lack and fear. You can choose
which one you will use to create your reality and you
have proof of your choice by what is happening in your
life.
Humanity chose the illusion as its path to learn how to
reconnect with the Source. That choice is reflected in
the drama and chaos that is present in the world
today. But that choice is being reconsidered by many in
the world today as they see that there is another way.
For many years that other path, the path of spiritual
knowledge and understanding, was not available to
many, but it is now. Each person that makes the
decision to step out of the illusion steps into their
power and can then connect with their natural state of
being.
Once you see the illusion for what it is you cannot go
back. The world no longer looks the same and you can
no longer relate to it in the same way. That can be a
very confusing time for you as you learn new skills for
creating your reality and becoming who you are. You
are not aware of the power that you have because you
do not remember a time when you were powerful. Or,
you have forgotten that you are not less than the
Source, you are one with the Source.
Your natural state of being is to live in grace, within
the security of the unconditional love and forgiveness
of the Source. When you choose this path, your every
need is met and you know that you create the reality
that reflects your willingness to receive abundance and
your belief in how much you deserve it. From a spiritual
perspective, you deserve everything that your heart
desires and it is yours when you ask for it. Your natural
state of being is free from fear and without chaos. You
have joy in your life and a constant flow of abundance.
The choice for you and for all of humanity is to choose
whether you will live in the illusion or accept your
natural state of being. Remember that what you
choose for yourself also becomes for others. When you
choose your natural state of being, you open the door
to unconditional love, freedom from fear, miracles and
unlimited abundance for yourself and for all of the world
and bring heaven on earth.

Today's Children--New Parenting
I can say that I am friends with my children. While I am
still the parent, I have very good relationships with all
of them. I care about their success, support their
efforts and am available to them when they have
problems. I do not judge or criticize them, even if I feel
that what they are doing is not in their best interests. I
offer my opinion when asked for it while allowing them
to find their own path in the world. That is a big
difference from my relationship with my own parents
and I have worked hard to ensure that my relationship
with my children was more open and accepting than
what I experienced as a child. While I realize that my
parents did the best they could, I knew that my
children needed a new kind of parenting in order for
them to succeed.
Many adult Indigos struggled through childhood
because their parents did not understand them, were
very critical and judgmental and tried to force their
beliefs on their children. Adult Indigos have the same
issues with non-acceptance as today's Indigo
generation and their struggles during their childhood
helped them to decide that they would be different
with their children. They promised to introduce a new
kind of parenting so that their children would not suffer
as they did.
I hear from many adult Indigos who try their best to be
good parents to their children and feel that they are
failing. And it is a struggle as Indigos are not easy to
raise and that task would be much easier if they were
more cooperative. But we do our best and in the end,
it usually all works out. That is not to say that we
don't make errors in judgment, that we are always
perfect or that we do not do things that we later
regret. But overall, we try hard to give our children the
acceptance and freedom that we did not have as
children. We allow them to be who they are, we stand
up for them, protect them when necessary and love
them unconditionally.
Adult Indigos, like today's Indigos, are also very self-
critical and often take the blame when their children
struggle or make devastating life choices. Indigos are
prone to depression and addiction problems and we
have to simply watch as they seem to spiral out of
control or to a place where we can no longer help
them. Others attempt suicide and are sometimes
successful, another of their choices that we cannot
control. Even though we gave them life, we cannot
give them the will to live. We are not responsible for
what our children do or the choices that they make.
Each of them has their own soul contract to fulfill and
we are not always part of that decision. All we can
give our children is the love and acceptance that they
need and know that they chose us because we could
give them the parenting that they needed. The rest is
between them and God.

Spiritual Mentoring
I am now offering a spiritual mentoring program, where
we will focus on your spiritual growth, current issues or
problems and work through a solution. This program is
available in blocks of four weekly sessions where we
work together to help you move past whatever is
blocking your spiritual path. Information is on the
website on the Spiritual Mentoring page. This program
is different from miracle coaching in that you choose
what you want to focus on during our time together.
Sessions are one-on-one and by telephone so
availability is limited.
Do you really need a miracle right now? Do you wish
you could get just focus on getting whatever you
needed in your life, at this moment and have it
appear? The Miracle Coaching program can teach you
how to do that. Miracle coaching teaches you how to
use your creative power and become a miracle creator,
putting you in control of creating miracles in your life,
instead of just wishing that they would happen.
The 8 week Miracle Program will teach you how to
get 'unstuck' and get the creative energy moving in
your life, so that miracles are an everyday occurrence
in your life. For 8 weeks, I will be your personal coach,
guiding you through this process. Each week you will
have a lesson to complete and a 30 to 45 minute
personal coaching session with me. I am also available
by email on an unlimited basis to provide you with
support and feedback on your progress. You will
receive
a certificate of completion at the end of the course,
acknowledging your success as a miracle creator. You
will also receive a FREE e-book '30 days to Everyday
Miracles', filled with information on how to create
miracles. Coaching availability is limited, so sign up
now.
Information is available on the Uriel Heals website,
Miracle Coaching page.
