Angel Inspiration

Published by Alison Wem on

Over the bank holiday weekend the book, ‘Angel Inspiration’ by Diana Cooper, jumped out at me from my book-case asking to be re-read.  It was many years since I read it first but I found it still very relevant to me in my life now.  I was aware that we all have a guardian angel but I have to confess I had a rather impersonal relationship with mine.  I did not even know their name and apart from a time when I was prevented from being run-over by a car near our flat in London, had never really consciously experienced him/her.

Working through the book I asked my guardian angel their name and discovered it was Alicia.  By some coincidence this was the name of the hotel I loved to stay in when I visited my team in Liverpool.  It is a traditional English hotel but looks over the most beautiful park with wonderful trees in it.  Although I was always on my own there, I never felt lonely.  I also had some important life discussions with members of my family when they called me while I was staying there.  Perhaps it was Alicia’s influence that I was totally unaware of at the time.

Over the weekend I had a meaningful discussion with Alicia about members of my soul family and our family karma.  Reading the chapter on karma I was encouraged to ask if any of my family karma had been cancelled.  Indeed some of it had been cancelled and there was no longer a need for some of my family to carry the guilt of events from many years ago.  However, learning to trust with an open heart and having patience were still valid life lessons for me.

As I draft this article a blue light with a white centre follows my thoughts and pen across the page.  I am sure I am getting some assistance in writing this message to you.  The over-riding message is that angels are here to help you but you need to ask them for their help.  Diana Cooper gives a good account of all the possibilities that engaging with angels bring.  If this book resonates with you take a look at the book review in the Your Soul Family ‘good reads’.

Navigating Family Tensions During the Holidays: A Spiritual Guide to Harmony

The holidays are a time for joy, connection, and celebration, but they can also bring up old wounds, unspoken grievances, and family tensions. It’s natural – bringing everyone together can create the perfect storm for misunderstandings or disagreements. But with a spiritual perspective, you can approach these moments gracefully and develop a sense of harmony for yourself and your loved ones. Here’s how:

  1. Set Intentions for Peace

Before your family gathering, take a moment to ground yourself. Light a candle, meditate, or say a prayer with the intention of fostering understanding and peace. Visualise the gathering as harmonious, with each family member feeling heard and valued. Your positive energy can ripple out, influencing the overall mood.

  1. Practice Mindful Listening

Conflicts often arise when people feel unheard or misunderstood. Instead of reacting defensively, try active listening. Take a deep breath, centre yourself, and listen to what’s being said without judgment. Reflect on what you hear to show you’re genuinely trying to understand, even if you disagree.

  1. Cultivate Compassion

Remember that everyone carries their own burdens and wounds. Aunt Mary’s sharp comments might stem from her own insecurities or pain. Approach each interaction with compassion. A simple internal mantra like, “I choose understanding over anger,” can help keep your heart open and your spirit calm.

  1. Create Sacred Space

If tensions rise, excuse yourself for a moment to breathe and recalibrate. Step outside, connect with nature, or find a quiet corner to close your eyes and visualise releasing negativity. Even five minutes of calm can restore balance and help you approach challenges more clearly.

  1. Focus on Gratitude

Amid the chaos, focus on the blessings. No matter how imperfect, a family gathering is an opportunity to connect, celebrate, and learn from each other. Gratitude shifts your perspective from what’s wrong to what’s right, creating a more uplifting experience for all.

  1. Establish Boundaries with Love

If a conversation becomes too heated, it’s okay to steer it elsewhere or step away kindly. Setting boundaries isn’t selfish – it’s essential for maintaining your peace and honouring your energy.

This holiday season, let your spiritual practice guide you through the ebbs and flows of family dynamics.

 

With patience, compassion, and a focus on the higher good, you can navigate challenges gracefully and create an atmosphere of love and understanding that everyone will feel.

Strengthening Body and Spirit: The Hidden Benefits of Fitness and Discipline

In a fast-paced world, physical fitness is often seen as a way to stay healthy and look good. But what if exercise could do more than that? What if it could also strengthen your spirit and deepen your sense of purpose? When approached with discipline, physical fitness offers incredible spiritual and mental benefits that go far beyond.

Building Discipline: A Path to Inner Strength

Consistency in physical fitness is a form of discipline, and discipline has a profound spiritual impact. By showing up for yourself, whether lifting weights, running, or practicing yoga, you cultivate self-respect and resilience.

Discipline teaches you to embrace discomfort for the sake of growth, a principle that mirrors spiritual practices like meditation or fasting. Over time, sticking to your fitness routine strengthens not just your body but also your willpower and ability to navigate challenges in other areas of life.

Movement as Meditation

Have you ever felt completely in the zone during a run or weightlifting session? That flow state – where time seems to disappear – is a meditative experience. Physical activity helps quiet the mental chatter, grounding you in the present moment.

Running, cycling, or even walking outdoors can become a spiritual practice when done mindfully. Focus on your breath, the rhythm of your steps, or the sensations in your body. In these moments, exercise transforms into a moving meditation, connecting your mind, body, and spirit.

The Mind-Body-Spirit Connection

Physical fitness bridges the gap between the physical and the spiritual. When your body feels strong and energised, your mind is clearer, and you’re better equipped to connect with your spiritual self. Exercise boosts endorphins, reduces stress, and creates a sense of inner calm that can enhance prayer, meditation, or introspection.

A healthy body also serves as a vessel for spiritual growth. Focusing on higher aspirations is easier when you’re not weighed down by fatigue or poor health.

Practical Tips to Blend Fitness and Spirituality
  • Set Intentions: Begin your workouts with a simple intention, such as gratitude or focus.
  • Stay Consistent: Approach your routine as a sacred practice, showing up even when motivation wanes.
  • Incorporate Nature: Exercise outdoors to connect with the earth and breathe fresh air.
  • Celebrate Progress: Acknowledge small victories as reflections of your growing strength—inside and out.

By combining physical fitness with mindfulness and discipline, you’ll discover a deeper connection to your spirit, proving that strength isn’t just physical – it’s spiritual, too.

Try any form of exercise you enjoy and see the lift it gives you
