If you are feeling disconnected with the natural world in a way that reinforces scarcity on the planet. Take time out to walk on the shores and speak to the sea, walk into the forest and find your soul. It is time for a well thought out act of connection with the world around you, with the Divine in all that is. When you preform a ceremony of love with this great earth, many acts can become magical and reconnect you to the sacred that is within all of us and outside all of us. You will find that old energy is cleared away and this can help you manifest the world you know you came here to experience.<\/p>\n<p>It is most important at this time for you act on your intentions for creating a better way. Whey you are connected to the earth, to the divine and to the all that is, you allow the gift of seeing the possibilities, of knowing and feeling out what is happening around you and hone this gift of seeing in many directions at once, making it so much easier to make the choices that feel best and right for you. There must be discipline and purpose to your movement, instructions are coming, and they will be delivered \u00a0through your dreams, visions, and meditations. When you preform ceremony and rituals to help you, there will be signs to let you know that you are heading in the best direction. You have a gift. It is time to train, and then to exercise it with love, responsibility, and your beautiful heart.<\/p>\n<p>Tons of love, Sharon and the angels xoxox<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.playingwiththeuniverse.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">www.playingwiththeuniverse.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Read more at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/angelguidance\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/angelguidance<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you offer your thanks and gratitude in ceremony before you receive, more is bestowed upon you.
