The twists and turns of a labyrinth are a wonderful reflection of our own spiritual paths. When I walk my labyrinth I pause as I pass each angel, touch its head, allow myself to be infused with love and then move on.\u00a0 What a wonderful way to move through life.<\/p>\n<p>As I was looking for my favorite on-line labyrinth I noticed that the site had also added <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gratefulness.org\/angels\/default.cfm?l=ENG\" target=\"_blank\">angel chants<\/a>. I love Gregorian style chants and as I wrote this post I enjoyed listening. After the chimes the singing begins. Guess we could do the same thing in our lives. Practice celebrating today because tomorrow never comes because by the time tomorrow gets here ii is today!<\/p>\n<p>However we choose to connect with God, goddess, Great Spirit, angels or whatever we call the divine adding gratitude deepens that connection. May you have a blessed day and remember there really are angels on your shoulders. It is up to you to notice them and allow their love in.
