The Presence of the Past in the Present
Remembering the past is part of the process that we
need to follow in order to heal its wounds. That does
not mean that we have to remember and re-live every
past event. Some of our most painful past memories are
difficult for us to remember because we cannot always
recall the actual events, especially if they happened
long ago. What remains with us are the emotions and
beliefs that the past experiences generated. It is these
emotions and beliefs that we will have to heal in order
to heal the past. And to do that, we do not have to go
back to the past because they often have a significant
presence in the present and are obvious in the way
that events and circumstances play themselves out.
Finding proof of the past in the present is accomplished
by paying attention to our life events. For example,
have you noticed that your life follows certain
patterns? Do experiences seem to occur in cycles? Do
you find that you sabotage your efforts at success? Do
you get stuck in certain types of relationships,
activities or find that no matter how hard you try, you
always stop at certain point? Do you often use words
like 'always' and 'never' to describe your beliefs? That's
evidence of something in your past that has a place in
the present reality.
It may not always be obvious to us, though, as what
we remember from the past may be hidden deep in the
recesses of our unconscious thoughts. In my own
experience, when I was 4 years old, I fell while running
to sneak a ride on my sister's tricycle and injured my
knee badly. A week later, I contracted a paralyzing
illness and it took 6 years of painful physical therapy for
me to regain my ability to walk and to move. My
parents reminded me many times that 'I nearly died'
from this illness. While their intentions were good, what
they and the experience taught me, on a subconscious
level, was that if I went after what I wanted (going
after my sister's tricycle), I would come close to dying.
At the very least, I would suffer terrible consequences
(my paralysis). It took me many years to put the
pieces of the belief that this experience generated
together and to realize the effect that it had on my
life-I had an overwhelming fear of going after what I
wanted. Once I was able to define that belief I was
able to release and heal it so that it was no longer a
part of my present reality.
Our memories of the past can be firmly grounded in our
present but their effects can be oblivious to us
because they are deep in our subconscious. We can
uncover the evidence of these memories by examining
how we cope with the present or where we hold
ourselves back from success in any part of our lives.
Remembering the past helps us find the source of these
beliefs and to define it. Then we can put everything
into perspective and heal, releasing ourselves from the
grip of the past. When we do not remember and heal
the past we are not able to put it into a proper
perspective and it will continue to have a strong
foothold in the present. All it takes to heal the past is
the willingness to remember, to forgive, to heal and
then take a step in another direction.

Blessings to you all!
The February article is posted on the Uriel Heals
website and this month's message is about how to
remember the past. In this week's article, we look at
how the past establishes its presence in the present.
Because many of our beliefs are based on past
experiences, we can look at our present reality to
discover where we must heal the past.
This week's Today's Children article discusses the
'painted and pierced' generation and how Indigos, in
particular, use 'shock tactics' to get us to look past
outward appearances.
I would like to welcome all of our new subscribers and
thank you for joining the Uriel Heals Newsletter. All

Are You Alone This Valentine's Day?
Today is Valentine's Day and if you will not be receiving
candy, cards or flowers from a loving partner, you are
not alone. At this time of the Shift, many people whose
relationships have ended are not able to immediately
find another one, as they have in the past. This is not
because they are unlovable, undeserving or
undesirable. It is part of the Shift's lesson that it is
time for us to heal ourselves and to do so alone, by
ourselves. In the past, we have often tried to heal
ourselves by seeking out another relationship, trying
again with another partner. What we found, though,
was a similar person and a predictable relationship
because we never gave ourselves the opportunity to
understand what we contributed to our relationships
that made them painful and short-lived.
With society's emphasis on falling in love, passionate
sex and happily ever after, it's no wonder that being
without a 'valentine' on Valentine's Day can make us
feel bad. Especially if we have been alone for many
Valentine's Days! During the Shift we are learning that
we can no longer heal through other people and must
learn to heal our own wounds through the development
of our own understanding. Going in and out of
relationships is not only emotionally painful, it also
prevents us from moving forward because without
healing, we will continue to find the same kind of
person and have the same kind of relationship, over and
over again.
Each person in our lives is a mirror for us and they
reflect our 'self' back to us. Depending on our level of
spiritual growth and understanding, that 'self' will be a
mixture of our Higher Self or soul and our ego. The
people in our life tell us what that mixture looks like. So
if we want a clear picture of all of our wonderful
attributes and our shortcomings, all we need to do is
look at the people around us. In a romantic relationship,
this is doubly true. Because we are more vulnerable in
romantic relationships, we are even more susceptible to
ignoring the spirit for the ego's gratification, violating
our own emotional and spiritual boundaries and
repeating lessons. To help speed our progress, the Shift
has created a 'relationship vacuum' for many of us that
prevents us from finding new relationships so that we
can heal ourselves. Once we have done this, we will
have an opportunity to find new relationships that
reflect more of our spirit, instead of the ego and that
will be fulfilling on many levels.
If you are alone this Valentine's Day, don't feel sorry for
yourself. Make this day an opportunity to appreciate
yourself, your wonderful qualities and gifts and the
blessings that you have today. Do acknowledge and be
grateful for the people who have mirrored you and
helped you along your path. Take a moment to be fully
present and be grateful for who you are. Reward
yourself for the spiritual work that you have done,
acknowledge yourself for the progress that you have
made and know that once you can appreciate and love
yourself completely and completed your healing, the
Universe will bring you a partner who can share that
love with you.

Uriel's Message
When you give gifts of yourselves to others do they
value your gifts? These gifts do not have to be material
items, they can be gifts of your time, talents, attention
and emotion. Each time that you give a gift to
someone, do you expect them to appreciate it? And are
you disappointed when they do not? And, when you
give a gift to someone, do you expect something in
return, such as their time, attention or emotion? How
do you feel when they do not give back something of
equal value?
Each of you has many gifts and you are here to share
these gifts with humanity. But your gifts often go
unappreciated, unvalued and unnoticed. That does not
mean that you should stop giving. It means that the
people with whom you are sharing your gifts do not
value them in the same way that you do. The purpose
of giving a gift to another is sharing, not reciprocation.
When you give a gift with the expectation of something
in return it is no longer a gift, it has become a tool for
manipulation.
For example, if you take time out of your day to do
something for someone who needs help and instead of
appreciating it, they continue to ask for more of your
time, it is not that they did not value the gift. They are
now looking to you to manage their problems. And, if
you give the gift of your love to someone who then
gives their own love to someone else, they did not
value your gift. You gave your love freely with the
expectation that they would love you back. That is not
wrong of you but you cannot feel that you did anything
wrong-you merely gave your gift to someone who
could not value it.
Each person values others based on their abilities and
they can only value others' gifts to the extent that
they value themselves. When you personalize their
rejection of your gifts to reflect badly on yourself, you
do great harm to your spirit. Learn to detach from the
gifts that you give so that you have no expectation of
how others will value them. If they do not, see this as
a reflection of their own spiritual growth and
understanding and move past the experiences. Avoid
judging yourself based on how others value your gifts
and do not judge them either. Accept their value
system with grace and know that you have, in some
way, blessed their life with your gifts and are doing
what you came here to do, which is to share your gifts
with others. When you are free of expectations, the
Universe will bring people into your life who value you
and your gifts and who will return them to you,
multiplied.

Today's Children-the Painted and Pierced Generation
The new article on today's children is now available on
the website. This month's article is about the truth
that these children are revealing to us about ourselves,
our lives and our world. This generation is 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.
The young man standing in line in front of me had at
least ten various types of piercings on his face and
ears, multiple tattoos down his arms and legs and a
blue mohawk. The girl with him was similarly pierced and
tattooed but her hair was pink. There are a pair of
Indigos, I thought to myself. The Indigos who are in
their late teens and early twenties display a multitude
of tattoos, piercings and hair styles that can be
shocking and certainly eye-opening. But they aren't the
first generation to use their appearance to shock the
public. In the 1970s the early Indigo generation dressed
down, let their hair grow and played and listened to
rock music. These Indigos go much farther to express
themselves and to voice both their individuality and
protest the status quo. Many indigos won't be wearing
suits and ties any time soon and trying to fit into the
image of respectability. They will, instead, do whatever
they can to express their individuality. My Indigo son
had his ear pierced and dyed his hair blue; my Indigo
daughter protested everything at her school and used
her position on the school newspaper to vent her
opinions. In my home, the battle against tattoos, which
I won, was a long one.
Yes, the Indigos tell us, eyebrow, lip and tongue
piercings may look strange to you, but you will have to
learn to look past them. It is our tendency, as a
society, to judge others based on appearances. We
know that attractive people are more likely to get jobs
than unattractive ones. But what if those attractive
people are tattooed and pierced-are they still
attractive? If companies have bypassed the 'strange'
looking job candidates in the past, what are they going
to do if all of the candidates are a bit 'strange' due to
their hair color, tattoos or piercings? Will they have to
abandon certain appearance standards and
expectations and judge candidates based on their skills,
instead of making initial judgments based on
appearance?
Indigo children and teens are using tattoos and
piercings as a form of self-expression and we can
expect this trend to continue. The Crystal children,
whose energy is much gentler, will probably be much
less abrupt and shocking in their need to display their
own style. But we, as a society, will have to learn to
not judge the Indigo generation by appearances, which
is partly what they are trying to teach us. So much of
what we expect of others is based on their
appearance. If we can learn to take the appearance
out of the equation then we can see people as they
are. So, if your Indigo child asks for tattoos and
piercings, use your best judgment. When your older
Indigo child shows you their latest tattoo or piercing,
know that they are merely trying to express themselves
and see this as a characteristic of their generation.
They aren't trying to be difficult, they are merely
expressing themselves in a society that does not allow
for many forms of self-expression. And they are
teaching us to learn to look past appearances and to
look at the person under the layers of metal and paint.
They do, however, present an interesting image.
