Believe it or not life is emotionally neutral. All of our emotions are created by what we tell ourselves about the events in our life and not the events themselves. Once we realize that we have the power to choose happiness and to feel safe no matter what is happening around us.<\/p>\n

One of the most important decisions I ever made for myself was whether this was a safe universe or a hostile one. For years I lived my life believing this was a hostile universe and absolutely experienced that on a daily basis. Then I began exploring my spiritual nature and working with angels. Then I realized that this was a very safe universe. <\/p>\n


\nI am an eternal being having a physical experience. God’s universe has no sharp edges, it is totally child proof. My body is fragile but my spirit isn’t. Moment by moment I am either deepening my connection to my spirit or to my filter system or what I think of as my small self.<\/p>\n

When you know you are surrounded by angels how could you feel anything but safe? As soon as begin feeling anything other than happy, peaceful and safe I have disconnected from my spirit and it is time to reconnect.<\/p>\n

What do you do on a daily basis to connect with your spirit? Spiritual practices take practice. What are your daily spiritual practices? If you don’t have any you could start by simply spending a few minutes open your heart and your mind to the angels that always surround you.<\/p>\n
