When we are afraid or fearful
We disconnect from the light
And start flying solo, leaving us open to ego thoughts and short term decisions
When we feel fear or afraid remember love
Accept your feelings as part of life's journey of discovery
And give yourself a big dose of love
And stay connected with the light!

[Barbara's Daily Message] Balance
We all talk about balance in the moment
Noticing the impact of being out balance after it's happened
What would happen if we made balance an underlying principle of life
And bring that into our daily life
Living life in balance than out of balance with course correction!

[Barbara's Daily Message] Inner Tranquility
When we are not sure of our place in the world
When we don't know our purpose
We can feel confused and anxious
Until we realise discovering our place and purpose
Is the first part of our journey
And we are all living our journey
Asking what our purpose is is the first step to inner tranquility.

[Barbara's Daily Message] Reflection
How has the last year been?
Tough, fun, ups and downs...?
Looking back and reflecting gives us an opportunity to look at what we've been through
To look at our life through a lens of love and support
See what has gone well, what we've learnt
And what we could learn from and build on
Spend some time reflecting on your journey so far
So you can build on your experiences on your journey onwards!

[Barbara's Daily Message] Direction
Do you know where you are going in life?
The end of the year is a time to reflect on where you have been
And where you would like to go
Even when life is tough and like wading through treacle
Pondering on your life's direction
Can bring new meaning and energy to you
Spend time pondering, looking at your choices and what you would like to do
And see what filters through to give you direction...

[Barbara's Daily Message] Patience
[Barbara's Daily Message] Patience
Are you living life taking your time?
Or are you rushing to the next thing wanting it yesterday?
Why do you want everything now?
Life is full of experiences whether you are actively filling it or not
An unfilled space in life is not a low but a time to rest and reflect
Be patient with time, it is your friend
Enjoy time (rather than running against it!)

[Barbara's Daily Message] Acceptance
Many of us recognise and aspire to the consistent practice of acceptance
But the reality can often be much harder
When we over react or complain without consideration
But life is a journey of self improvement
When you succeed, acknowledge your achievement and celebrate
When it goes a bit a rye recognise an opportunity to learn
Work out what you could have done differently
And take one or two learnings from the situation to practice.

[Barbara's Daily Message] Flexibility
Are you a planner?
Someone who likes to plan a day down to the finest detail
And shoehorn in as much as possible to do?
Do your days go to plan?
Or do you end up getting stressed out because it doesn't?
If you are getting stressed out there isn't enough flexibility in your day
Make sure you allow extra time in your plan for "normal life"
And stop trying to shoehorn so much in, life is more fun when you can flex!

Loving support
Something we all crave deep down
Genuine love and genuine support for who we are and what we want to do
While it isn't possible to guarantee we receive this from others
We can give this to ourselves and give this to others
Start with loving yourself
And believing in yourself
Then share.

Pay attention, life is OK!
Turn up each day, experience life
If it isn't going well on what are basis are you judging that on?
We judge moment by moment, interaction by interaction
Rather than looking at the big picture
We need all experiences to help us grow on our journey
If we didn't have them our journeys would stall
When you are in a tough experience remember now is but a step in your journey
And it's value will become clear...

On the shortest day of the year
When positive energy may feel in short supply
Remember that positivity comes from within as well as without

Through our daily achievements no matter how small
Let these grow and build as a seed becomes a tree and then a forest
To have an abundance of positivity within!

[Barbara's Daily Message] Learning
We are all here on this planet to learn and follow our journeys
When we learn we can be surprised by the simplicity of the idea or concept we've learned
But does the realisation last?
Learning doesn't just happen at the stage of the insight
It continues as we put something into practice
But it also happens after we've forgotten the insight
Because we have to learn it again
Some of our strongest learning experiences are reminders of what we've forgotten
Value the opportunity when it happens!

[Barbara's Daily Message] Life Experience
How do you view your life?
I've had a great time and I plan for the same going forward
I've had some ups and downs but it's kind of OK
It's not been great and I don't expect it to be much different
How we view our lives colours how our lives are
Two people with the same experiences can have two very different outlooks
And therefore two very different experiences of life
Look at your view of your life
If your view is colouring your world in a way you don't like
Think about what you do want and change your view!

[Barbara's Daily Message] Goals
Do you have any goals in your life?
Or are you focused on the short term (by default)?
Or have you decided that goals aren't necessary
Or you've just kind of missed them?!
The purpose of goals whether in your human or spiritual life
Is to develop and grow
If you haven't got any goals consider today if you want any
And if so, think about what you want
So you can become more of what is great about you

[Barbara's Daily Message] Helping...
As with nearly all people, we want to help
We want to reduce others pain and suffering
This means we help, we do things for others
We care, we support, we actively assist others
But is this really helping everyone?
We all need help on occasion
But help can become a hindrance when we stop others being themselves
Helping means keeping someone's best interests at heart
And our help enables them to be more than they are without help
Every now and then this also means that to help someone the best action may be to not help them
But to support them to help themselves.

[Barbara's Daily Message] Looking for Love
Looking for love in all the wrong places?
People come together to balance each other out
But pairs aren't always in "good" balance such as needy/carer, victim/rescuer, parent/child
To create a "good" pair isn't about being perfect
But it is about balancing your own needs within yourself
So you can attract love rather than look for it!

[Barbara's Daily Message] Looking for Paradise
Are you looking for paradise?
Looking for your ideal place to hang out and chill out
Where your worries and fears won't find you?
While the desire is understandable, there is one small problem...
Where you are, you are...
Generally, being happy, sad, worry free, fear free, is not found externally
But internally
Paradise isn't about escaping yourself by going elsewhere
But finding the inner strength to face your fears
And creating your paradise within!

[Barbara's Daily Message] Expectations
[Barbara's Daily Message] Expectations
How do you expect life to be?
All sweetness and light, tripping through with rainbows and balloons?
Or hard and miserable, dragging yourself through treacle?
Your life might one or the other or somewhere in the middle
Or a mix of all three
But the difficulty is knowing the difference between expectation and reality
It's easy to expect more or less
But how about suspending your expectation
Live with reality and decide what your life is really like
Then you can tune your perception to reality and stop living under the weight of your over or under expectations!!

[Barbara's Daily Message] Being Fatalistic
We are in charge of our destiny

Not every outcome is a sign!
It is easy to think everything is fate
And disengage from your own responsibilities of living life
Remember to choose your journey and destiny!

[Barbara's Daily Message] Joy of Passion
Do you know what you are passionate about?
What gets you excited and gets you up in the morning?
One of our unique perspectives we bring to this world is our passion
We may share a common passion with others but how we carry it out will be unique
If you don't know your passion, go searching!
Look for what "normal" things get you excited as you go about daily life
And dream with it a bit, see if you are able to grow it into a passion
When you know your passion, spend time with it
And bring some joy into life.

But what you have already won't always be there to appreciate
So enjoy and appreciate it now, today
And be joyful!!!

[Barbara's Daily Message] Turning Reactivity into Proactivity
Ever have that headless chicken feeling?
Running round in lots of different directions but not really getting anything done?
Being reactive to the world around us results in this busy but undirected experience
Living with the light means knowing our own mind, listening to what is going on
And choosing our response
This is being proactive in our world so we retain a degree of control over our own situations and experiences (meaning we don't usually have full control!)
Listen to yourself and your own choices, know what you want as well as listening to the light and other people's opinions.

We all want to help
We all want to make a difference
And when everyone knows that they will come asking for help
And we help!
But when it's too much for us
When our energy is low or we have other commitments
By all means do the best to balance things out
But don't sacrifice oneself in the conflict, have a hint of selfishness
To make sure you are meeting your own needs and then share the rest...

[Barbara's Daily Message] Sleep
Are you getting enough sleep?
When we are tired we become slower and more lethargic
Our judgement and decision making can be impaired
Making it more difficult to go to bed and get to sleep
Meditation is a great way to switch off before you go to sleep
And really allows us to sleep well
Ten minutes of meditation before going to bed will bring more restful and better quality of sleep afterwards
Try it for yourself and see!

[Barbara's Daily Message] Feedback is a Gift
Ever received feedback from others?
How did you handle it?
Didn't know how to? Just mumbled thanks, felt embarrassed or ignored it completely?
Did you welcome positive feedback as reassuring or self validating but negative feedback as reinforcing your weak areas?
Or do you welcome all feedback as an opportunity to grow and develop?
We need to recognise and accept that while we aren't perfect almost everyone is trying to do their best as much as they can
Based on this, feedback is either supporting doing your best or it can help you to work out where you can get better so you can do your best, even better.
And if you can look at feedback through this lens then feedback becomes a gift to help your best become better
And if your best becomes better, isn't that a blessing in our world!

"Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher a storm, but to add colour to my sunset sky" Rabindranath Tagore
How do you see your troubles, something put in your way to stop life?
Or to make life interesting and to bring experience and learning into your world?
The person we each become in future does not come from everything being the same today
But from the clouds that come and go as we live our life
Welcome the clouds and the gifts they bring.
(And know they are the gifts we need.)

[Barbara's Daily Message] Focus
[Barbara's Daily Message] Focus
What is focus?
Almost everybody sees it as a narrowing down of our attention onto one spot or thing
Our attention drawn to something
This feels physically and mentally tiring
What if focus was the opposite
An opening up of our attention
And allowing what we want to lend our attention too to come to us
To enter our attention rather than send part of us away from ourself
This way our focus is freer, more relaxed and we can be more open to what is going on around us.

[Barbara's Daily Message] Believe in Yourself
[Barbara's Daily Message] Believe in Yourself
Where do you get your sense of self worth from?
Some of you may answer:
I don't have one
Or from others opinions of me
Or maybe from your parents
Or even yourself!
It may be easy to listen to others but you end up riding the roller coaster of positive and negative feedback
It's also easy to be self critical but where is the help in that
Mentally telling yourself off all the time is just a hindrance that makes us miserable
What if you genuinely recognised and accepted what you had done well
And felt satisfied that you had done your best
If we do this we can genuinely appreciate and value what we have done and our contribution
This creates self belief and self worth
Start recognising your own actions and efforts for the wonderful value that they bring to this world.

[Barbara's Daily Message] Emotional Fatigue
When life is tiring and you are tired with life what do you do?
Get more sleep?
Take a holiday?
Do more exercise?
Or do you look at what is causing the fatigue?
Assess whether the cause is short term or long term?
And work out what you can do to reduce the impact of the cause(s)?
It's important to balance short term needs (sleep, food, exercise, work)
With long term needs: having reasonable goals, prioritising what you do and don't do, having regular time to yourself and switching off from the numerous commitments
Remember, looking after yourself and having downtime are the foundation to everything else.

[Barbara's Daily Message] Listening?
Are you listening?
On a daily basis are you hearing what is going on around you?
Or are you tuned out and only focused on what you are doing?
Listening is about actually hearing the people, the animals and nature that are talking to you
We can be so focused on our internal dialogue that we miss everything else
Hear half a sentence and ask someone to repeat themselves, respond badly to a comment you misheard or hurry home and miss the nature's signs of the next season.
Being in a calm, relaxed place is important but so too is placing your attention on both within and without
Take some time to listen and genuinely hear what is going on, and see what you prefer.

[Barbara's Daily Message] Your human side
Dear Light Angels,
Remember to develop your human side
Your spiritual side is important and drives your path
But your human side is your way of sharing the messages with others
Even if you are on the right path
Having positive interactions with others shares the path
Difficult, awkward or negative interactions drives people away
Be prepared to spend time on your human side to get better at interacting with others.

[Barbara's Daily Message] Fast or Slow Lane?
Life in the fast lane or life in the slow lane?
That seems to be the choice, be in or be out
What if there isn't a lane, just a path for the journey we are on
We get to choose and decide our path and the speed we travel along it
And it can change, one decision today doesn't need to last forever
As we grow and learn so our path changes and the speed we travel slows down or speeds up
Be true to yourself and live life at your own speed.

[Barbara's Daily Message] Decisions, Decisions...
Why do some people seem to be very comfortable making decisions while others aren't?
The verb to decide comes from the Latin decidere which means to cut off
So making a decision means to cut off all other options and choose one
Rather than just stating or wishing for a preference
Choosing to go with the flow is fine but sometimes we will need to make a choice and decide what we are going to do or not do
We unfortunately aren't here to predict our own future so we have to make a judgement without knowing if we are right
Those that are comfortable making decisions are comfortable with not knowing the outcome beforehand, making the best decision they can at the time and then learning from it
A analogy for living perhaps?

[Barbara's Daily Message] Benefits of Learning
Dealing with difficult experiences can be tough
Experiences have certain energies about them
Good experiences add energy to our own energies
Tough or negative experiences are there to learn from
And can feel like they drain energy if we don't recognise them as a learning opportunity
Remember to step back from the experience to see the bigger picture
So you can learn from it and improve yourself and your life
When this happens the energy changes and adds more back to our energies than we originally "lost"
So learning builds your energies!

[Barbara's Daily Message] What is our Power?
What is power for us light angels?
Not the TV tricks nor super human efforts
But leading by example: how we interact with others (and ourselves) and how we behave, sharing and directing our energies for the benefit of people, our communities and our planet
When we harness our powers we can leave a trail behind us for others to follow
Moving everyone slowly but surely in the right direction.
Moving everyone slowly but surely in the right direction.

[Barbara's Daily Message] Feeling Busy?
We'll always have multiple things we could do in every moment
As we look back in time we think it was better then, while it would have been less before
People would often have had more than one thing to do
So then you get the conundrum: what do you do?
Some people try to solve the problem by multitasking (stretching your attention out across things, doing each slower and some badly)
Some get overwhelmed and either do nothing/a little bit or get very stressed out by it and still doing nothing/a little bit
Or others try to do everything by speeding up or working longer hours
In fact, none of these solutions feel great
What to do then???
The real answer is this:
We can do one thing at a time
Yes, just one thing
We can either look at our phones/ipad/pc/tv or we can listen to our children, husbands, wives, partners...
We can work or we can take a break, we can be active or sleep, we can drive or text...
We can pick one thing to do and when that is done, we pick the next thing
When we accept its just one thing, then another, life is a lot simpler
Are we busy, not really, just lots of options to choose from.
Pick those that are best for you!

[Barbara's Daily Message] Role Models
As light angels we are role models
We try to live our lives the right way
As humans among humans
Showing what is possible
To be kind, generous, compassionate and loving
Role modelling demonstrates what is possible despite day to day pressures
Even if you don't feel its making a difference know that it is
Keep up the good work!!!

[Barbara's Daily Message] Mentally Switching Off
Are you worrying about the things you have to do
A big long list and its always getting longer
Whatever is going on is made worse by the worrying
Learning to switch your brain off is a key skill in life to develop
Meditation is one way of learning how to
While learning to meditate, even a poor meditation session is better than none
And the skill takes time to develop
Practice daily and enjoy the down time.

[Barbara's Daily Message] Being at Peace with Sensitivity
Being sensitive to energy
Being sensitive to spirit
Is not generally seen in a positive light
This can often result in us feeling embarrassed or anxious about this aspect of ourselves
But being able to feel, sense or experience more in this world
Opens us up to new perspectives, understanding, tolerance and open mindedness
And result in us feeling at one with this world
Through this connection to the global energy web which supports and guides us!
Use this connection to "feel at home" and create an inner peace with this aspect of ourselves.

[Barbara's Daily Message] Overcoming Emotional Fatigue
When you've got a lot to do
You can get overwhelmed by it
The emotional load can be very draining
And this causes fatigue, tiredness, poor sleep, stress, anxiety, etc...
Taking care of your own needs becomes very important at these times
But this doesn't change the circumstances
When things get too much, when its all in your face
Getting in your mental helicopter is vital
Getting up and away from everything and then look back down
Get perspective and give yourself some mental space
Then you can look at everything, be realistic, prioritise, decide what to do
And get yourself off the hamster wheel.

[Barbara's Daily Message] Being Reactive
When your life is feeling stuck
Like it's going round and round
Following the daily grind
You might have forgotten something:
Looking after your own needs
In the short term reacting to others needs and urgent priorities is a successful strategy
But only in the short term
Being reactive in the long term neglects your own needs leading to fatigue and a low mood
In times of challenge, remember to be proactive, do at least one thing for yourself everyday!

[Barbara's Daily Message] Engaging in Living
Turning up in life is not living
Our bodies are present but we can end up going through the motions
Having your body, mind and spirit involved in what you are doing
And all of them involved in the decisions you are making
And listening to their feedback so you can adjust your course
Means you are being engaged in living...

[Barbara's Daily Message] What Journey?
Everyone knows that a journey starts with taking the first step
But what journey do you need to take?
Perceiving of the journey is often the hardest part
Take time to reflect and think about where you want to be in life
The answer will come
And when you are ready you can decide to follow.
Deciding to follow the journey is the second step
Deciding to follow the journey is the second step
So once you know and decide to follow the teachers and supporters will appear.

[Barbara's Daily Message] Asking for Help
We can often ask for help from the light
But how do you expect to receive it?
A gut feeling?
A message?
A sudden resolution of your problem?
More often than not they will act through other people
People, often the source of the problem are also the source of help
Remember to be open to others helping you rather than doing everything yourself.

[Barbara's Daily Message] Taking Responsibility
The light is here with us to help the world move towards a strong, positive balance
They give us help and guidance to move our own lives towards a strong, positive balance
This doesn't stop us taking responsibility for our own lives
Working out what we want do and how we want to behave
Use the advice and support from the light to help make better decisions in your own life.

[Barbara's Daily Message] Light Pets
Being close to the light is not exclusive to us humans
Nature and animals are also a part
And part of the support network for both us and this planet
And our pets often have a key role supporting us on our journey
The unsung heroes of the light...

[Barbara's Daily Message] A Lighter View
When the weather deteriorates
And the light is dark
How do you feel?
If you need help
Take some time to "see" nature
And value it's beauty to bring the light back in

[Barbara's Daily Message] Gut Feeling?
How often do you take things at face value?
Often or not often?
We tend to take things at face value when we are used to something or when the situation matches our expectations
Have you ever taken something at face value when you know you shouldn't have
When your gut feeling said otherwise?
Both our own experiences and the light's feedback contributes to our gut feeling
Even if you are in familiar territory, if your gut feeling is saying something
Listen
Spend time working out the concern and then take action.
More often than not you will be pleased you did!

Sadness or fear
We are all equal
Prince or pauper

And share our humanity with others.

[Barbara's Daily Message] Two journeys
We all know we are on a journey
A journey of discovery
But in reality this is made up of two parts
Balance in our lives is achieved by travelling on both
We have a journey to understand and follow the light
One that also helps others to find and live with the light
But there is also a personal journey
One that means we change and support ouselves as well as others
We ensure we have all we need
If we do one without the other or ignore one we are out of balance
Understand and take action on both journeys to remain in balance.

[Barbara's Daily Message] Ebb and Flow
Energy is all around us
We see it in the birds, the animals, ourselves and in nature
It is the natural rhythm of life
Upbeat in summer, slow and recuperating in winter
We can't "see" it but we can see its effects
Some of us can feel it but we all feel its effects
The natural ebb and flow of life brings ups and downs
The more sensitive to energy we are the more we can flow with it
Keeping yourself grounded and calm will allow the up and down swirls to pass on by.
