BIG Changes For The Better
by Doreen Virtue

How are you enjoying 2005 so far? How many changes are you experiencing? Chances are you’re either moving to a new home (or just recently moved), are changing jobs, making improvements in your diet, or some other significant shift.

The new energy of 2005 calls us to heal or leave unhealthy or meaningless situations. We can no longer stuff down feelings of dissatisfaction. When some part of our life doesn’t work, it makes itself very apparent and we feel depressed, hungry, anxious, restless, empty or tired.

When you get in touch with something that’s not right in your life, it’s very important to avoid complaining about it, according to Archangel Michael.

Archangel Michael says, “Complaining is based upon the belief that you’re a victim. Whenever you complain, you emit the energy of victimhood. This attracts situations in which you will feel even more victimized. Instead of complaining, put your entire focus into correcting the situation which is causing you to feel pain. Ask me to assist, and I’ll give you the courage to make necessary changes. In the meantime, surround the situation with love, which will always bring miracles and healing effects.”

Here are seven steps to help you make life changes:

1. Admit your true feelings to yourself. All of them.

2. Use the energy of those feelings to imagine what changes and improvements you’d prefer to have. Admit your dreams to yourself. All of them.

3. Pray for help and assistance. Studies show that all prayers are effective, but that affirmative prayers are the most effective. Affirmative prayers make a statement as if the prayer has already been granted such as, “Thank you God for the wonderful new home we live in that we love so much and easily afford.”

4. Surrender the situation. Once you’ve asked for help, give the entire situation to the Creator and the angels. How do you do this? Simply say, “Here God. I’m sick and tired of this pattern in my life. I’m giving it to you.” Then exhale.

5. Be very alert to Divine guidance. After you’ve surrendered the problem, you’ll be given a set of instructions so that you can co-create the solution with Heaven’s help. These instructions will come as feelings, inner words, thoughts and ideas, visions, or dreams. If you’re unsure of their validity, ask your angels to give you clear signs to help you trust your guidance.

6. Take action upon this guidance, even if it seems unrelated to your prayer. Have a strong hunch to make a phone call, take a certain class, or read a particular book? Don’t question the hunch. Follow it! Don’t try to force anything to happen, easy does it. Forcing comes from fear, which lowers your energy and creates unwanted results. The energy gates open for you one by one as you follow your Divine guidance, and you’ll be supported by the flow.

7. Be flexible and open to surprising solutions. I read and hear hundreds of angel stories each month. These stories always have a surprising way in which prayers are answered. So, expect your prayer to be answered in an ingenious and unusual way! It’s a waste of your time and energy to try to guess how your prayer will be answered, or how you should best make a change. Leave the details up to the infinite wisdom and creativity of the Divine Mind.

The good news is that the new energy of 2005 is extremely supportive of anything that is love-based. If you want to help others or improve a global situation, your timing is perfect. If you’ve ever wanted to be a healer or spiritual teacher, there’s never been a more perfect time.

The new energy is a magic carpet which will carry you in amazing and exciting ways. Allow the Universe’s abundance to come to you with joy and gratitude. Open your arms and heart to receive, and then give to others as you feel guided. The more you allow yourself to receive, the more you have available to help others. Remember: your joy and success inspires others!
