This week's messages
Lost in the Maze
The Shift has been difficult for all of us as it has
challenged our way of thinking, acting and being on many levels.
There was a time when we could ignore or brush aside our lessons but
that no longer works. And whatever we did in the past is no longer
effective and can even make situations worse instead of better. It
is at these times that we can feel like we are lost in a maze, not
knowing which direction to go, unable to focus on the light because
we can't even find the light. It is as these times that we feel the
most alone, disconnected and hopeless. Taking another step forward
is a challenge when we are sent down a path that ends in yet another
obstacle. What can we do to get out of the maze, find the light and
feel like we're making progress along our spiritual path?
We are engaging our spiritual learning when we realize that we
are lost in the maze. Suddenly we know in our hearts that something
is not right and have an awareness of another path or other options
available to us. Wasn't there a time when we were content to give
up, be sad and feel like a victim when we felt lost and
disconnected? Those are still options for us, but less so because
our still, small voice is turning our attention in another
direction. That is when we know that we are using what we have
learned and are able to consider other possibilities and begin to
create other realities.
Because we are constantly evolving and learning on our spiritual
journey, we are not aware of how much we have changed our
perspective until we reach an obstacle and instead of giving up we
look for new solutions. Too often we wait for a sign from the
Universe as an indicator that we have arrived at spiritual
understanding, that we are ready. Waiting for someone else to give
us the answer, to tell us that we are ready to put our spiritual
learning into practice delays our journey. Our ability to find our
way out of the maze, to find another path is our challenge and the
test of our understanding. What will we do next? Will we give up or
know that we have walked this path before and choose another option?
Finding our path when we feel lost in the maze requires that we
develop new ways of thinking, new perspectives at every level of our
life. And this is the enlightenment that we have been working
towards. We are no longer afraid of the challenges and what could
once stop us in our tracks now becomes simply another event on our
life path. Each obstacle is merely an opportunity for us to test our
spiritual learning and understanding and apply what we have learned
to move in another, different direction. We can change anything in
our lives with the right intention and perspective. But we must
first understand that we are never lost in the maze because the
solution to every challenge is always available to us. This week if
you feel lost take a moment to pause and look at what you have
learned in this lesson. Does the situation feel familiar?
Acknowledge that because you feel lost, you are applying your
spiritual learning to the situation by being aware of other
opportunities. Now, what do you want your new path to look like?
Choose it and move forward into a new reality.

to you all!
I am still in the process of relocating and will be
availale for readings after Wednesday. Thank you for your
patience. The December article is posted on the Uriel Heals
website and this month's message is about Putting It All
Together. Does it feel like you are lost in a maze as you
travel your spiritual journey? Feeling lost and confused is
one example of your ability to apply your spiritual knowledge
to your life. When you know that you're lost you also know
that there are other options available. This week's Today's
Children article talks about the 'hard to impress' Indigo
energy. Uriel's message this week focuses discusses how to
stretch your mind to accept your unlimited potential. Read the

Challenging God
I once knew a couple who, after many years of trying, finally
had a son. They doted on their child and he was the center of
their lives. One day the father told me that he would turn his
back on God if his son was taken away from him. A few years
later the son, then ten years old, developed leukemia and
died. The man was grief-stricken and although he had
previously been very spiritual, cut all ties to his spiritual
beliefs and practices and became an angry and bitter person.
His wife, unable to cope with the loss of her son, also died
and the man was alone with his grief and his anger.
I will not go so far as to say that the reason the child
died was to test this man's faith and spiritual beliefs and
his willingness to go through with his promise. But his
greatest fear was that his child would die and he was able to
experience his fear. He challenged God--- the Universe-and the
situation came to pass. Although he loved his son, the fear
that something would happen to him was always in the back of
his mind. Was this a karmic lesson for him? Since we all
create our own reality, was he setting up a test of his own
spiritual growth and learning?
Each of us has a fear of what we believe to be the worst
thing that could happen to us, whether that is losing a loved
one, the end of a cherished relationship, the loss of a friend
or financial ruin, emotional devastation or physical
infirmity. Those fears have a basis in a past memory or karmic
lesson, where we did encounter a terrible loss and the painful
experiences that followed. Each time we say 'I will never get
over it if' or 'If that happens I will' we are reminding
ourselves of something that once happened to us and stating
our fear that it may happen again. And we could also be
setting the stage for that event to happen, as a test of our
spiritual growth. Are we willing to challenge the Universe to
send us the worst possible situation to test our ability to
get through it?
The man in this story passed away some time ago, at a
relatively young age. His story is a sad one because he never
recovered from the deaths of his wife and son and he blamed
God and everyone else for his losses. When we challenge the
Universe (or God) we are setting ourselves up for a challenge.
Can we cope with what we believe is the worst that life can
bring us? It is a path that we do not have to take but that we
can take if we choose to do so. When we remember that it is
our thoughts and words that create our reality, we will learn
to be careful of what we ask for, for it may be far more than
we are prepared to deal with. Yes, it would be devastating if
the worst of our fears came to pass, but it is something that
we have already experienced in the past, and we do not need to
call it to ourselves again in this lifetime. Our task is to
appreciate the wonderful people, relationships and situations
in our lives in the present moment and to remember that we
create the joy, and the pain, of our experiences. We should
not fear the 'what ifs' but simply appreciate the life's
blessings. When we live in gratitude and appreciation, and not
in fear, there is no situation so terrible that we cannot get
through it-but we also do not have to create it so that we can
prove to ourselves that we can.

Uriel's Message--Stretch Your Mind
Can you envision yourself as being happy, with abundance in
all things, in a loving relationship, with a wonderful job and
a life that you love and appreciate? Can you create a vision
of the life of your dreams and then put yourself in the
picture? Creating a different reality begins with your ability
to stretch your mind to accept and acknowledge the possibility
of a reality that you are not currently experiencing. Your
mind is trained to see what is in front of it as the only
possible reality. When you stretch your mind you challenge it
to accept other possibilities and accept them as truth, even
though they are not what is 'real' for you at the present
moment.
When you stretch your mind you must accept that life is but
an illusion that reflects your current state of mind. So each
time you change your state of mind, you change your reality
and all of its potential. It is an ever- changing process that
allows you to experience life as you want to, or as your mind
will allow you to. Your mind and all of your thoughts define
your reality, which is the life that you live. Are you happy
with it? Does it bring you joy? Does it flow effortlessly so
that each moment is wonderful? If this is not your reality, do
not place blame on the Universe. The energy merely responds to
you thoughts. What are you thinking about?
In order to move past your mind's current limits,
understand that they are based on your family, karmic and soul
history. Any limitation that you have is based on a fear.
Discover the fear, release it and it will no longer be valid
for you. When it loses its validity, it cannot be part of your
reality unless you choose to keep it and allow its limitations
to exist. But stretching your mind will challenge you to make
big and small changes in your life for once you have
experienced the joy of living your unlimited potential, you
will never again be content to live with limitation. Are you
ready to experience this?
So much is available to you when you release your fears and
stretch your mind, allowing yourself to consider the
possibility of a reality that you may have thought could only
be available to someone else, to focus your thoughts and
intention on your heart's desire and to put yourself in the
picture. If you could change one thing in your life right now,
what would it be? Now, stretch your mind to allow it to become
your reality. What must you do to allow it to happen? Are
there thoughts you must change, beliefs you must release,
forgiveness to extend? When you stretch your mind to accept
your true Self and divinity, these answers will come to you
and your reality will change so that what you once dreamed
about will be what you awaken to. This week, stretch your mind
to consider one of your heart's desires. Are you ready to
allow it to happen? Know that it is yours for the thinking,
asking and believing. Stretch your mind and live in joy,
abundance, peace and unconditional love every day.

Indigo Energy, Hard to Impress
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.
A few months ago I was describing a situation that I viewed
as one of my more important life accomplishments to my Indigo
son. He just looked at me and said 'That's nice, Mom.' I
realized that if I was looking for acknowledgement or for him
to be impressed, I was talking to the wrong person. Indigos
are not easy to impress. They will acknowledge others'
accomplishments without feeling threatened by them. Whatever
others do is fine but not something that they have the need or
drive to either match or exceed. Just as it is hard to impress
Indigos, it is also hard to motivate them using others'
accomplishments as a benchmark for their actions. Tell them
that they should do well in school because your friend's
daughter is going to a good college and you may get a shrug of
the shoulders, rolled eyes and a nod of the head. It's not
that they don't care, they care about what is important to
them.
I remember the pressure that I felt in school to have the
highest grades, perfect attendance and to be the 'best' at
some level of scholarly effort. I was impressed by those who
did and when I succeeded, there were those who were impressed
with my efforts. Well, that just does not work with Indigo
children. They don't want to be the best at meeting others'
criteria for success; nor are they impressed by those who
achieve those goals. Those things are not important to them.
And, unlike those of my generation, they can't be threatened
or coerced into changing their thinking or behavior. Can we
accept that Indigos are not impressed by what others do or
even by future or promised rewards for behavior? They want to
feel good about what they are doing and who they are right
now.
Indigo energy brings to light a very important social
expectation-the need to be better than others. How much of our
behavior is driven by our need to copy those who impress us on
some level? Or, by our desire to impress others? What would
our society look like if the need to impress was not part of
our belief system? The Indigos lack of interest in others'
accomplishments is often viewed as laziness or a lack of
motivation, but that is a convenient dismissal that covers our
frustration at their unwillingness to do what is expected of
them. Indigos know what they want and will go after it in
their own time and in their own way. We can try to force our
beliefs on them but they will just look at us with that blank
look that they can have and let us keep talking. They are
doing what comes naturally to them and that is to be who they
are, not what someone else is or wants them to be.
