You have a guardian angel who is standing with you, by your side, assisting you in overcoming your challenges.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/wp-media.beliefnet.com\/sites\/395\/2016\/09\/prayerrrr.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-672\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.beliefnet.com\/sites\/395\/2016\/09\/prayerrrr.jpg\" alt=\"prayerrrr\" width=\"400\" height=\"266\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>When life seems to much and you don&#8217;t know where to turn, stop for a moment and connect with your guardian angels and ask for them to overlight you and help you find a better way. Surround yourself in plum coloured light as this is the colour of deep inner strength and faith. It helps you to be strong through hardships and difficult times. Wear some plum coloured clothes as you go about the next few days after invoking your angel guides to help you see the light to a better way.<\/p>\n<p>If you are facing difficult times make sure you take time to clear your energy field. You are surrounded by a field of light that represents what is going on within you and this field can also pick up the energy of others, especially when you are so focused on the situation that you are not paying attention to what is around you.<\/p>\n<h3>A Visualization\u00a0and Meditation to help you:<\/h3>\n<p>Imagine in your mind\u2019s eye that there is a vortex of energy beginning to form into a whirlwind of energy above you and as it picks up speed, it begins to expand to encompass your entire auric field and encompasses all of you.\u00a0 See it begin to slowly sweep around you and spin through you as it sweeps away any toxic energy, or energy of others from your field. If your energy field is way out beyond your physical body, bring it closer to you and suck it in until it is a few inches away from you and begin again.<\/p>\n<p>Ask Archangel Metatron to join in and use his metatronic cube and send it swirling through your chakras clearing you from crown to root. Feel the spinning cube as it cleanses each chakra from within and releases and replaces any area that needs healing and let it do its work.<\/p>\n<p>Once again, create the spinning vortex of energy above you, and let it form a vortex all around you and sweep through your energy field from crown to root and swirl into the earth beneath you cleansing you through to feet and the chakra\u2019s beneath your feet and feeding that energy to the mother earth to utilize. And let the energy of spiritual fire clear you.<\/p>\n<p>Ask archangel Raphael to transmit his emerald green ray of light to clear and heal any discordant energy you are carrying for yourself and as this happens pay attention to the thoughts and feelings you receive on how best to heal and see and understand the root cause of this situation or what has caused you feel less than and solutions to complete and heal any tasks at hand.<\/p>\n<p>And then when you are done, ask Archangel Michael to encircle your energy field in a screen plum coloured light that allows for you to receive beneficial energy and the flow of your energy of love out to others.<\/p>\n<p>Try this daily for 2 weeks and see the results in your ability to keep your energy higher and more focused when you are consciously clearing out the energy of others and better able to deal with your own.<\/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>Sometimes staying strong and focused during difficult times is the biggest hurtle to get over when you are trying to move past what is and onto something more meaningful and better feeling than where you are at.
