This week's messages
Are you Ready to Trust Yourself
I once attended a team-building seminar that ended with an
exercise in trust. Each participant had to stand in the center of a
circle, close their eyes and fall backwards, trusting that the
people in the circle would catch them. And we had to trust that we
would fall backwards at the right time, when the others were ready
to catch us and that they would not let us fall on the ground. It
was a difficult thing to do because we had to trust that everyone
would play their part at the right time to complete the exercise.
We learn to trust others through our experiences with them. So
how do we learn to trust ourselves, to the point that we know that
on all levels, every aspect of our life experience is working
together to ensure that we do not fall? If we look at our past
experiences and the decisions that we have made in those situations,
some of us would understandably not trust ourselves to make good
decisions in the future. But the past is not necessarily an
indicator of the future, and as long as we remember that those
decisions reflected who we were and what we knew at that time, we
can learn to trust ourselves to make different decisions in the
future.
When we trust ourselves we acknowledge our power and ability to
create our reality, so that we trust that we are making the best
decision possible at every moment in time. What this means is that
we are always capable of catching ourselves when we fall, even if we
are the reason that we are 'falling'. Sometimes we create situations
where we purposefully disrupt our lives just to prove to ourselves
that we can trust ourselves to come to our own rescue. If this seems
counterproductive, and perhaps it is, it is often our own version of
a trust-building exercise. Once we acknowledge our power and learn
to trust ourselves, we do not have to do this any longer.
Are you ready to trust yourself, to know that you are perfect in
every way, right now, at this very moment? Are you ready to trust
that you always make the best decisions that you are capable of, in
every situation? Are you ready to trust that you do not need to
prove your perfection, capabilities or worth to anyone, including
yourself? Trusting yourself acknowledges that you always know what
you are doing, even if you aren't always convinced that you do. Move
forward with confidence and trust yourself, which is the first step
in recognizing and using your spiritual growth and understanding.

The December article is posted on the Uriel Heals website
and this month's message is about Putting It All Together.
When do we know that we are ready to put our spiritual
learning and knowledge into practice in our lives? Wouldn't it
be nice to receive a diploma or sign that we were ready to
stop learning and start using what we know? We have
opportunities to put our spiritual growth into practice every
day. Trusting ourselves is the first step in that process.
This week's Today's Children article discusses the dangers of
labeling Indigos and their behavior. Uriel's message this week

One Key on My Key Chain
I am moving from one part of the U.S. to another and part of
the process of leaving my old home and going towards my new
one involved removing the keys that I no longer needed from my
key chain. These included my old apartment, mailbox and other
keys that pertained to my old life. But I had other keys on my
key chain, some that belonged to locks that I no longer owned,
opened doors that I no longer needed access to and some that
were even a mystery. Once I removed all of the unnecessary
keys from my key chain, it contained only one key, my car key.
This was all I needed to begin the journey to my new home and
begin the next phase of my life.
While I have, over the years, added keys to my key chain, I
rarely take any off, afraid of losing keys to locks or doors
that I may need one day. So over time, my key chain contains
so many keys that it is often difficult to find the keys that
I do need. All of the unnecessary keys are a reminder to me of
things that was once part of. And perhaps that I need to
release. After all, if I don't remember what the key is for,
do I really need to keep it?
Having just one key on my key chain is quite liberating and
a little odd. Liberating because I do not have any trouble
finding the key that I need. And odd because I am,
temporarily, without a home and all of the things that keys
show that I belong to which were once a foundation of my daily
life. Although I know that I will soon put other keys there,
including the key to my new home, I will carefully monitor the
keys that I keep on my key chain in the future and remove
those that are no longer useful or relevant to me or to my
life.
How many keys are on your key chain? Do they belong to
locks that you no longer have or doors that you no longer need
access to? Each key is a symbol of something that you belong
to or that belongs to you. What do those symbols mean to you
and is that meaning empowering or defeating, full of joy or
pain? Take this opportunity to assess whether you need every
key on your key chain and remove those that no longer serve
you. Feel the peace and liberation when you release, with
unconditional love and gratitude, those things that are no
longer relevant to your life experience. Replace the keys that
you no longer need with new ones that reflect who you are and
the reality that you want to create.

Uriel's Message--Pause and Reflect
Take time to pause and reflect as you go through your
experiences. When you pause and reflect you do two things-you
stop your mind from engaging your emotions and reacting from
the memory of karmic experience. And, you allow your inner
guidance to have a voice in the choices that you are about to
make. When you do not take time to pause and reflect, you act
from the past and not from the present moment. Are you afraid
that you will miss the opportunity to do or say something if
you wait before you take a step or make a decision?
Pause-means to stop what you are doing in terms of your
actions, speech and behavior, but also what your mind is doing
at that moment in time. You are aware of a small percentage of
the thoughts that go through your mind at every moment and
unless you take the time to pause, you will be working with
thoughts and opinions that you are unaware of. When you pause
you empty your mind of all thoughts and allow yourself to
simply be in the moment, free of all fear and emotion.
Reflect-means take the time to cease your worry, fear and
movement and consider all possibilities and options for your
path. Have you asked your intuitive guidance for assistance?
You cannot do that when you are operating from the mind, for
your mind's chatter will interfere with your intuition. Do you
understand the lessons in this situation? Have you considered
all possibilities and consequences? Taking the time to reflect
also allows you to consider a greater range of options and
possibilities for your reality.
Life is not about moving as quickly as possible through
each experience; this is a learning journey, not a race. There
is no prize available to the person who finishes more quickly
than the others. You are not losing any ground when you pause
and reflect in every lesson that you encounter; in fact, you
are benefiting from the ability to recognize the lesson that
you are being given the opportunity to learn. And you can
consider all options, those that you are aware of and those
that are only available to you when you pause and reflect
instead of reacting from emotion and past karmic memories.
This week, allow yourself to pause and reflect before
reacting. Consider each situation's potential and lessons
before making choices and decisions. Your intuitive guidance
will lead you in the best direction and you will find peace
and joy from your decisions and choices.

Labeling Indigos, Part 2
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. Along with their special gifts and talents, they also
have certain needs and the purpose of this series is to help
them and their parents find solutions to these needs so that
Indigos and Crystals can do the work that they came here to
do.
Last week I wrote about the dangers of labeling Indigo
children based on their physical attributes because this
narrowed the potential population of Indigo children to
certain geographic areas. But there is another, far more
widespread use of labeling Indigos that is more troubling,
that of labeling them by their behavior. Yes, Indigos have
different types of behavior that can be difficult to manage.
They can be argumentative, headstrong, stubborn, moody,
irritable and have behavior problems, among other things. But
they can also be articulate, focused, driven, emotionally
sensitive and creative. The difference is the perspective with
which they are viewed, how they are labeled and how much we
base our willingness to accept them by how well they submit to
our expectations of their ability to accept control.
Many years ago, I went to school with a boy who was sent
home for having long hair, which was not long by today's
standards. He refused to cut his hair, his parents supported
his decision and the school retaliated by suspending him.
Later, he was readmitted to school but his long hair continued
to be a problem. He was a good student, talented musician and
very intelligent but his behavior and long hair caused the
school system to label him as a 'troublemaker.' And he was
treated disrespectfully by his teachers and the school
administration as a result of that label. It is not an
accident that Indigos are responsible for focusing our
attention on the use of behavior-altering drugs to control
children in school. But is the problem with the children or
the school? Instead of labeling Indigo children as
troublemakers in school-and they are not the minority in the
classroom-would it be more appropriate to consider the
possibility that it is the methods of teaching, educational
models and expectations of behavior that need to change?
Teaching methods and classroom behavior expectations have
changed little in the last 100 years, although ensuing
generations of children have changed a great deal. The
children born in the past twenty years, both Indigo, Crystal
and everything in between, have strong issues with attempts at
controlling their behavior. They are not 'uncontrollable,'
they simply do not want to be restricted to certain types of
behavior and meeting expectations that they may not be in
agreement with. This includes the employment, education system
and learning environments.
What is the problem, then, the children or the
expectations? Based on my experiences, when my children were
appropriately challenged and interested in the learning
material, they ceased to be a behavior problem in the
classroom, without the use of behavior controlling drugs. My
experiences with Indigo young adults also showed that when I
removed expectations and control from our interactions, I
dealt with articulate, interesting and highly creative
personalities who had wonderful ideas to share. Rather than
focus on how to control Indigo behavior and to categorize this
generation as exhibiting behavior problems, perhaps it would
be more productive to look at learning and behavior
expectations and consider whether we are trying to fit a
'square peg into a round hole'. Are we asking today's children
to fit into learning and behavior models that were created
more than 100 years ago? Can we allow today's generations the
freedom to be who they are and release the old control
paradigms that they refuse to acknowledge anyway? Can we work
with this energy and the information that it has for us to
create new models of behavior and expectation in the classroom
and in society in general? Are we willing, as parents,
educators and employers, to acknowledge that we must change
how we view this energy? Finally, are we willing to stop
labeling those who are different or who pose a challenge to
our belief systems and consider that maybe they have a point
that should be considered?
