What difference would loving yourself passionately make in your life?<\/h3>\n

Do you suppose angles just sort of like you or god or life? Do you suppose angels forget that this world is made up of love, the pure unconditional love of that creative energy that made manifest this entire universe? Now, suppose you loved in the same way angels love. Imagine how awesome your life and the lives of those you care about would be. Talk about a head rush of love!<\/p>\n

For moment imagine \u2026..<\/h3>\n

\"angel<\/a>Imagine yourself enfolded in the expansive wings of an angel. Feel them enfold you and fill you with a feeling of peace, safety and love. Just breathe that feeling in, make it real and sensual and all encompassing. Really allow yourself to feel the love, allow it to flow through you, into your heart and out into the world. Know you are an angel in human form.<\/p>\n

How does that feel?<\/p>\n

Allow yourself to know you can generate that feeling any time you want with a few simple thoughts and the willingness to feel loved. This Lenten season has been about love<\/a> and releasing suffering. Let\u2019s kick it up a notch starting today. Let\u2019s really fill ourselves and the world with as much love as we can generate.<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Affirmations that really work start with that love<\/h3>\n

Affirmations can really transform your life but only when they start with love, really juicy, richly emotional love. If we are worried or sad or fearful and speak positive affirmations they have little or no positive affect on our life. They may actually deepen our despair. So if you want your affirmations to really count, call on that angel first, feel the love, fill yourself with love and then affirm away.<\/p>\n

No matter what the problem is love is always the answer.<\/p>\n

See all of the 40 days to love posts<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

With love and aloha,
\nSusan<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Angels are everywhere just open your mind and your heart to the signs.<\/p>\n

Make Angels on Your Shoulder<\/a> part of your daily routine and share it with a friend!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
