It seems that each shift we go through some of us notice we are more sensitive to energy around us.

That is walking in mastery. Once you learn to experience the world in a different way, the world will start to respond to you in a different way. This does not mean that things suddenly become perfect, for they don&#8217;t . If they did, you would be done with the earth experience and go home. This means that most days&#8230;you have better days and better times.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Archangel Michael is one of my favourite archangels. He is a delight to work with and can help navigate just about anything I can think of while you are having a human experience. I love to feel the warm glow in my cheeks when he is around me. If ever you don&#8217;t know what to do, where to go, or want help, ask Archangel Michael to be by your side and he will. It is a wonderful experience. If ever I was afraid, I would call him in and feel safe and loved. If I want to talk, he is often the one I go to to sort things out. I encourage you to invite Archangel Michael into your life and watch as things open up for you.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Here is a wonderful reminder from Archangel Michael:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;You can\u2019t be in a state of growth and a state of protection at the same time. We don&#8217;t often give you finite choices, but this is one of them. In one you are moving away and protecting yourself from your environment whereas in the growth state, you are open and moving toward something. You cannot be moving to something and closed off\u00a0from something at the same time\u2026it goes against the laws of the natural order of things. So ask yourself\u2026How are you responding to your world? Are you responding in openness and growth or are responding in protection and closing yourself off from the world?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Here is a link to using shields and filters that we shared a bit ago&#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/inspiration\/angels\/galleries\/shielding-yourself-with-archangel-michael.aspx\">https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/inspiration\/angels\/galleries\/shielding-yourself-with-archangel-michael.aspx<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-body entry-content\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<h4>Your Angel Guidance is to\u00a0use shields and filters when you are using\u00a0protection<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We want to remind you that you are here to have a physical experience and we want you to go out in the world.
