Rose Quartz aka The Love Stone

Pale pink in colour this crystal is known as the “Love Stone”, Rose Quartz has a lovely soft, warm vibration which is very comforting, soothing, and calming.  Due to its gentle, calming energy this stone works very well with the energy of children.  Rose Quartz can help to bring harmony to a relationship and can even help to welcome new love into your life.  According to the principles of Feng Shui, in order to welcome a loving relationship into your life or to enhance an existing relationship you should place two Rose Quartz Crystals in your relationship corner.  Your relationship corner can be found in the furthest right hand corner from the front door of your house (or within your bedroom it is the furthest right hand corner from your bedroom door).   Rose Quartz is the perfect crystal for working with the heart chakra as it helps to heal the heart and helps to open the heart up to give and receive love more easily.  A great stone for assisting you to overcome depression, and for aiding self acceptance and self love.

 

Archangel Chamuel ~ The Angel of Love

With it being Valentines week we thought we’d concentrate this week on the Angel of Unconditional Love.  Hope you enjoy reading about him.

Archangel Chamuel is known as the Angel of Unconditional Love, his name means “He who seeks God”, and is often described as pure love in a winged form.  He assists us in opening our minds and reminds us that in order to be able to love others we must at first love ourselves and that we need to release negative emotions in order to help us find forgiveness to mend bruised and battered hearts.  This Angel of beautiful unconditional love helps to lift us from our sorrows, helping us to love ourselves and those around us, and he also assists us in expressing our innermost feelings.  Not surprisingly the colour associated with Chamuel is the colour pink, and when you call upon him for help you may see a ray of pink light.  When he is around you may also feel a warm, tingling sensation, and feel engulfed in a warm loving energy.  He can help you open your heart to forgive after a bitter divorce r the tragic death of a loved one.

Chamuel will help you

•         Create inner peace and learn to love and accept yourself
•          Overcome depression
•          Improve your existing relationships
•          Forgive yourself & others
•          Find your soul mate
•          Establish a career

Whenever you feel lost or overwhelmed, call upon him, he will assist you with all matters pertaining to love, relationships, creativity and spirituality.  It’s not surprising that Chamuel‘s energy is associated with the heart Chakra, the colour pink and rose quartz crystal.  To work with Chamuel sit quietly, if it helps you can light a pink candle, imagine yourself bathed in a soft pink light, open your heart and allow him to lead your thoughts and feelings.  Tell him your hopes, dreams and heart’s desires and trust that if it is for your higher good they will be willingly granted by Chamuel.

Frustrations of Techonology

Yay, woohoo, thank God, thank the Angels and thank our internet provider!!! For the past few weeks we have been having ongoing problems with our outgoing emails due to a problem with our internet provider.  Not being the most tecnologically educated I didn’t understand much of what said problem was, other than I couldn’t send emails to hotmail or yahoo accounts from our business email address (which basically rendered my system useless) , so I decided that I would have to settle for blaming ‘gremlins’ in the system, not the cute, cuddly gizmo type gremlin either, one of the horrid, scarey, destroy everything  kind of gremlin and boy were they having a party at my expense.

I had never stopped to appreciate the blessings of being able to send emails, never stopped to think of how my message got there, like most of the population I expected that once I hit the send button my message would be delivered to the recipient problem free.  Nor in the midst of all the chaos did I consider to ask the Archangel Gabriel the Angel of Communication or the Angels of Technology (yes, there is an Angel for everything possibly imaginable) to help resolve the problem, until this afternoon that is, and low and behold on asking for help my problem was resolved.

So I hear you ask, what have I learned from this lesson? First and foremost I have learned how dependant we have all become on modern technology to communicate with the world around us, secondly that technology is only great when it works, thirdly that I shouldn’t take anything for granted, and finally that I should practice what I preach and always ask my Angels for assistance no matter how trivial the problem may seem.

Now that all has been put right with the world of technology for me I have to go and get started on our long overdue newsletter And of course to thank the Angels for their assistance x

The cute and cuddly Gizmo

Archangel Gabriel

Part of the information gallery that we are building on our website is our ‘Archangel of the Week’ segment.  Basically it’s a gathering of information about different Archangels and how they can help us in our daily lives.  Here is this weeks Archangel and one of my personal favourate Angels ~ Archangel Gabriel, I hope you like it xx

Archangel Gabriel

Archangel Gabriel stands in the presence of God and is one of the two hightest-ranking Angels, known as the messanger of God his symbolis the trumpet.  Gabriel announced the birth of John the Baptist to the world and told Mary that she would give birth to Jesus so it is no surprise that he is the Angel of pregnancy, birth, hope and new beginnings.  Gabriel’s energy is a beautiful, gentle, feminine energy and you will often see a flash of silver light when working with his energy.  Associated with the moon it is unsurprising that he can help us develop our intuitive insights and aid women with their menstrual cycles.

It is said that Gabriel choses which souls will be born and that he spends the nine months with the baby’s spirit while it is in the mother’s womb to help the spirit prepare for the exciting journey it will face during it’s life on earth.  Then when the child is born, he presses his finger on baby’s top lip to help the child to forget the secrets of heaven, thus creating the cleft in a human’s upper lip.

The patron angel of all who work in the field of communication, he is strongly connected with all matters associated with Arts & Communications and helps people by opening doors for them to persue their life’s work.  He encourages mercy, forgiveness, change and transformation and brings hope to all situations.

He can help you to ~

• Reconnect with your feminine side
• Develop your intuitive abilities
• Cleanse your mind, body, spirit and your home
• Communicate with your unborn child
• Protect you during travel or violent weather
• Discover your life’s purpose

Affirmation to Archangel Gabriel ~ Archangel Gabriel I willingly accept your guidance and assistance,I thank you for bringing hope, purpose and new beginnings into my life.

An Angel’s Message

I got to see the Angels at work today, I never cease to be amazed at how they get their messages out to the people who need them most.  It came in the form of an email from a lady who was today facing a situation that was totally out of her control.  On arriving home and going online the first thing she read was a message posted on one of our pages, a message that  gave her comfort and hope and eased her worry.  To be a part of the Angels work in this situation and to know the comfort the Angels have provided to another human being is a very humbling experience and one I will cherish. It set me thinking about how often the Angels use each of us to get a message of comfort across to another, do we ever stop to think about how our actions or our words touch the lives of those who cross our paths?   Watch out for the signs your Angels leave for you, it can be a written word, a song playing in the background with special meaning, bumping into someone at exactly the right moment or sometimes they will leave you their calling card, a  single white feather, their message that everything is going to work out just fine.

Today I received as much hope, comfort and a good dose of that warm, tingly feeling inside as the lady who sent the email.  It’s a feeling that no amount of time spent at a health spa, or shopping, or any other form of spending money can buy.  It’s a feeling of connecting with the life of another human being and seeing the Angels at work.  This feeling is free to all of us, and the only effort we have to make is mindfulness of our actions.  Try it for yourself and see what blessings the Angels bring into your life xx

Little Men & Love Hearts

What a very interesting, fun, and strange day we’ve had at Ann’s Angels.  Loads of plans being made for things to do with the new information centre on our website, the creative juices are really flowing now.  We’ve decided the theme for our new window display,which will be “Things we ♥” and today we were busy decorating little men cut outs for the display.  The rest of the display will be made up of love hearts and entries for our ‘I ♥ Competitions’ entries (check out our website for more info www.annsangels.ie).  The strange part refers to the ‘birthday party’ for our family puppy who turned one today, cake included Happy Birthday Ruby! All topped off with a Belgian Waffle from our local coffee shop, Cappucino’s mmmmm.  Overall today was a great day can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings xx

The crumpled €50 note

Came across this story and it really hit a cord, hope you like it x

A well-known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a €50 note. In the room of 200, he asked, “Who would like this €50 note? Hands started going up. He said, “I am going to give this €50 to one of you but first, let me do this.

He proceeded to crumple the €50 note up. He then asked, “Who still wants it?” Still the hands were up in the air. Well, he replied, “What if I do this?” And he dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty. “Now, who still wants it?” Still the hands went into the air.

My friends, we have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth €50 .

Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We feel as though we are worthless. But no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value. Dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still priceless to those who DO LOVE you. The worth of our lives comes not in what we do or who we know, but by WHO WE ARE. You are special – Don’t EVER forget it.”
