Hello Darlings!
This month, I am particularly excited about my new work with energetic facelifts (you may have read how it all started in last month's blog). Of course, I still have my ongoing work with people and animals in need of healing. In fact, I have a handful of very serious cases at the moment. Some of my clients are terminally ill people who have been told there is nothing more to do but prepare for the end of their life.
At times like this, it can be a healer’s role is to alleviate a person’s suffering as they make their transition, other times it is to give them a few months more life in the Earth plane, and of course there are also miracle healings. Whatever the outcome, it is emotionally harrowing work to be by someone’s side and hold space for them as they go through this kind of thing. In some ways, I believe that spending time on energetic facelifts gives me much needed relief from the demands of the more serious healing work.
That is not to say that energetic facelifts are not also healing work, they definitely are. When people come to me looking to have their wrinkles faded to fine lines, the work to do that involves shifting some of the energy that caused the lines in the first place – sadness, grief, regret, trauma, and so on. That old saying about how life is written on our faces is true, in fact some scientists at Edinburgh University have even studied it.
However, I must admit that, as well as the healing aspect of the energetic facelifts, I am absolutely fascinated with exploring and experimenting with just how much a person’s face can be rejuvenated, restored, even reshaped with the use of energy medicine. Does it work for everyone or are there people for whom it won’t work? Does it work better for some than for others? If so, why? Is it permanent? (As permanent as these changes can be given that aging is of course an ongoing process.)
These energetic facelifts are my current fascination because wouldn’t it be marvellous if we could get the effects of a surgical facelift without using knives? In the process, perhaps we could make people understand how their emotions and life experiences, if left unresolved, are etched upon the face and body. The physical self reflects the mental and emotional self. This is as true of work-related stress causing headaches as it is about sadness causing bags under the eyes. When you erase the sadness from someone’s soul, it reflects in their face as brighter eyes and more youthful skin.
I am still though in the beginning stages of my work in this area and I am still after ‘guinea pigs’. I would like to have about 10 ‘guinea pigs’ whose genuine and untouched ‘before and after’ photos can be shown to others about the potential results. I will show all case study before and after images – even any that are not so successful because I believe it’s crucial to be transparent about what can and cannot be achieved. Just like in conventional Western medicine, results will vary from person to person.
See below the two people I have completed six sessions with so far...

|Hello Darling!
I am very excited to write about energetic facelifts in this blog because it is a completely new thing for me, I have only worked on one person so far -- it simply never occurred to me before now that it was even something I could attempt.
It all came about a couple of weeks ago while I was on holiday in Biarritz, France, with my dear friend Jill. A couple of days into the holiday, Jill mentioned that she was thinking about having a plastic surgery facelift. Now, I have nothing against surgical facelifts but as we had this time together on holiday, I said 'why don't we try an energetic one? Let's see what we can do with energy healing...'.
Then, every day for the next six days, I spent 45 minutes to an hour working on Jill's face with energy healing. I didn't know what to do so I asked Spirit to guide me and was inspired to press my fingers or thumbs into a particular area, for example, I pressed my thumbs on the furrows between her eyebrows and held the pressure on while sending healing into that area.
I knew that something was happening because I could feel little ripples, or rivulets, or bubbles, of energy under the skin, it's hard to describe. As well, I felt heat under my hands. At one point, my hands got very hot. Jill said she could feel this as well. Every now and then, I would take my hands away just to see what was happening and I actually saw the lines and wrinkles fading.
After the six days of daily sessions, both Jill and I could see a significant difference in her face and skin. Her face was brighter and the skin was tighter, wrinkles were diminished. As well, Jill reported that some eyesight issues in her right eye were significantly improved. This is how she puts it in her own words:

"I was considering a surgical facelift when Zoe said she thought she could give me a course of treatments which would have the result using her healing powers.  I am absolutely astounded by the results and look and feel years younger.  After a course of six treatments my face is lifted and most of my lines have gone.  Everyone thinks the results are miraculous.
"In addition, I suffer from partial sight in my right eye and Zoe did some healing on my eye which has resulted in significantly improved eyesight in my right eye where I had a retinol inclusion and have previously had to have regular injections to keep my sight stable. Thank you Zoe.  Your healing hands have worked miracles." Jill Miller, June 2019

I must admit, I have been soul-searching about this and asking myself whether facelifts are really the best use of my time and energy as a healer. Shouldn't I be concentrating on clients with conditions like cancer, depression, joint inflammation, back pain... and so on? But ultimately, no matter what the reason someone has for coming to see me - be it their sore knee or crow's feet around their eyes - the healing energy they receive is the same. As Jill found with the improvement in her eyesight during her energy facelift treatments. 
This is all still very new though and I want to get many more successful cases under my belt - with the photos and testimonials to prove it - before I really push this as a legitimate service. Happily, I seem to have no shortage of female friends who are happy to be my guinea pigs! I shall keep you updated on progress.

Lots of love, Zoe xx

Hello Darlings,
I want to talk a little bit about pain for this blog. As a professional healer, I see a lot of it. It's my job to deal with pain of all varieties, the physical kind as well as the emotional, mental and spiritual kinds. 
People often come to me for the physical type of pain. A bad back, a frozen shoulder, stomach issues, joint pain, arthritis, migraines, tooth pain... the list goes on and on because our incredible bodies have an apparently endless supply of ways to endeavour to communicate with us. When a client comes to me with physical pain, their priority is usually to 'get rid of it!'. They view this pain as the enemy, something to be eliminated from their lives as soon as possible. They often hate the pain, they resist it, resent it, push it away, attempt to suppress and silence it with a cocktail of pharmaceutical pain medication.
The clue to our attitude is in the name we give these drugs, 'pain killers'. Our collective response to pain is, 'Kill it! Kill it quickly!' so we shovel down handfuls of pills, rub on numbing creams, or get injections.
When pain shows up, we panic. 'OMG just get rid of it!' we beg. We don't care what the pain has to tell us. We don't want to listen to the pain or consider why or how it developed, or what it has to reveal to us. No, we just want to kill it.
But pain is not our enemy. Pain is part of the vocabulary that our body and brain have for getting our attention. Pain is a warning sign and a messenger.
Silencing the pain with medication then believing that the problem is gone just because we no longer feel the pain is as clever and effective as believing that the fire in your building will not burn you simply because you put your headphones on to drown out the sound of the fire alarm and stayed sat in your seat.
Your body and brain use pain when all other attempts to communicate with you have failed. By the time you are experiencing physical pain, I believe you have ignored all the other messages. You've left your body-brain no other option than to start shouting louder to get your attention -- through pain.
What kind of earlier messages did you ignore? You probably ignored your body's cues in a number of ways. For example, some of us stubbornly refuse to change the way we eat despite the fact our body is giving us feedback in the form of acid reflux, flatulence, and indigestion. Some of us stay up late night after night to binge-watch TV, ignoring our body's messages about being tired and needing to sleep. Some of us stay late at work every night, fire-fighting deadlines and sales targets, despite having already had a cold, a cough and the flu this year already. Some of us refuse to take time off despite getting shingles two years running.
Some of us keep snapping 'nothing's wrong, I'm fine, stop going on about it...' at friends and family when they ask us if everything's ok because we've not seemed ourselves lately. Some of us swallow anti-depressants for months, years, rather than delve into the root of our depression and anxiety.
Pain is your body-brain's way of saying, 'excuse me, there's something here that needs your attention...' When pain strikes, it is a message that your body is out of balance. When your body is out of balance, it is a reflection of your life being out of balance. And the first step towards unravelling all this is to begin listening to the messages of your body. Open a dialogue with your body-brain. Ask, 'What is this pain trying to show me?', 'Which areas of my life are out of balance?', 'Where is my joy in life?', 'Which areas of my life are fulfilling and which are not?', 'How do I bring balance back into my life?'
Of course, as a healer, I very much want to help you be relieved of your aches and pains however the best way to give you permanent relief is by understanding the purpose of the pain. So the next time you get a headache, perhaps you don't need to take a pill and push on through that To Do list; perhaps you could just go home and go to bed. Here's to your health and happiness!

Lots of love, Zoe xx

Hello Darlings,
I've been doing a lot of chatting with my angels over the last couple of weeks -- in between taking grandchildren to swimming lessons, dance lessons and the rest. I told my angels that I wanted to develop a new healing technique that, basically, boosted the power of traditional EFT Tapping. They were delighted to oblige and I have learnt so much more than I could have imagined when I've sat down to meditate and receive the information they shared with me.
I don't know why I've never thought of asking the angels about this before. I've been using EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) and EFT Matrix Reimprinting for a number of years on people and animals, it's a marvellous technique. Adding an angelic boost though, gives it so much more power. I'm still developing this new technique and still receiving the information from the angels so, if this is something that interests you, stay tuned, I'll write more about it in future. For now though, let me offer you a simple starting point. This is an Angelic EFT Tapping script for clearing stress from the body. 
1. Sit comfortably and place both hands over your sacral chakra, or your belly just below your naval. Close your eyes and take three deep breaths into that area.
2. Imagine inhaling divine golden light into this area. See it filling your belly, filling your sacral chakra and dissolving the energy of stress and tension in your body.
3. With two or three fingers of either hand, start tapping on your thymus point (just above the breastbone and below the throat), say:
'Thank you, angels, for clearing all this stress from my body. Thank you, angels, for dissolving all this anxiety and stress and worry stuck in my body and stuck in my energy field. Thank you, angels, for filling me with divine peace from the highest source there is. Thank you, angels, for bringing divine solutions to this situation. Angels, I'm surrendering this situation to you. I release this problem to you. I know you have insights about this that I cannot see. Thank you for taking care of this in the most beautiful way. Thank you, angels, for reminding me that this too will pass. Thank you, angels, for revealing to me the learnings and the blessings in this situation. Thank you for now completing the learnings of this situation and allowing me to move forward now with ease and grace.'
4. Keep tapping on your thymus point and take several more deep breaths with your eyes closed.
5. In your mind's eye, imagine that the angels are now pulling out the remaining energy threads of this situation and dissolving them in Light.
6. Imagine your brain rewiring as it now opens up to new perspectives about this situation. Imagine new neural pathways forming as your brain opens up to new solutions and starts attracting new opportunities, new synchronicities, and new inspiration.
7. Open your eyes and smile, knowing the angels are now at work on your behalf.

Try this and let me know how it goes for you. Write in the comments below.

Lots of love, Zoe xx

Hello Darlings,
It's been another one of those months that brought with it a spate of deaths of various beloved pets. These were all the pets of my clients or the pet itself was my client (although there is usually a human who pays the bill). 
It began with Bravo, a magnificent horse who is as brave as his name suggests. I have known this horse for many years and he is a beautiful soul. When it came time for him to pass over into Spirit it broke my heart so much it felt like a physical pain.
I was with Bravo at the time, channelling healing energies from the angels to help relieve any pain and help him transition to Spirit in peace.
Bless him, he did pass in peace but the soundtrack of his passing was provided by a load of humans sobbing uncontrollably, myself and his human family from the stables. Bravo transited out of this Earthly life completely enveloped in the love he deserved. I was a wreck the next day, emotionally drained. Death may be a natural part of life but that doesn't make it any easier when the time comes to say goodbye to a dearly beloved being.
As well, I've been sending healing to a very old and sick but also much loved little cat called Leko. At the ripe old age of 17, Leko has lived in the UK and Dubai with his humans. His brother Kia passed over a few years ago so he is now the only 'child' of a London couple who dote on him. The two human men who love Leko have been caring for him with round-the-clock devotion. In the last days of his life, Leko could not stand up for food, water or the toilet. So he was hand-fed boiled chicken and had glasses of water held up to his mouth. He was carried back and forth between his blanket on the sofa and his litter tray. Every night, one of the men slept on the couch with Leko instead of in their own beds.  But despite his organs failing and him being unable to walk, Leko was still hanging onto life.
When I communicated with this lovely little cat to find out why, I realised that it was one of the two men in particular who was unwilling to let the cat go. The cat was concerned that the man would not cope without him. I told the man that he needed to give Leko permission to pass into Spirit; to tell him that he did not want the cat to linger in pain; that he was ready to let Leko go.
Not long after they had had this 'talk', Leko passed over to Spirit. From there, I have no doubt, he will continue to watch over, and take care of, his two 'dads' as they continue their adventures on Earth.
The animals we share our lives with bring us boundless joy and love, fun and laughter. They teach us virtues such as unconditional love, compassion, devotion, courage, and forgiveness, amongst others. Animals are one of our greatest blessings. While you have the chance, I urge you to say a heartfelt 'thank you' to all the animals in your life because the time they are with us is so soon over.

Tell me about your beloved animal in the comments.

Lots of love, Zoe xx

Hello Darling,
In this blog, I explain a little bit about communicating with the angelic realm. Many people get frustrated with themselves, or with their angels and spirit guides, when they cannot get a clear connection and are unable to get the messages and guidance that they so desperately want to receive. They don't understand why their angel can't just appear in front of them and talk plainly. They don't understand why some people have a stronger connection than they do. There can be many reasons for why we struggle with spirit communication but the one reason that it is NOT is because your angels are not trying to communicate with you.
Your angelic team are ALWAYS at your side, constantly guiding you, nudging you, steering you away from harm. They cannot interfere with your free will though, so if you're determined to get yourself in harm's way, you'll do just that. Your angels will then work to get you the help and support you need to get out of it -- if you choose to!
As far as communication goes though, the reason why we can't simply see and hear our angel friends in the same way that we can our human friends is that they exist at a completely different frequency.
To give you an analogy, imagine a heavy rock sitting at the bottom of the ocean floor. In this environment, the water is thick and heavy, movement is slow but the pressure of the deep water is no problem for the rock. Now, imagine that this rock wants to 'talk' to one of the seagulls flying high in the sky above the sea. This bird is light and swift, gliding on the warm and cool currents of air. Swooping through the air, the bird is agile and moves with a free fluidity. This beautiful creature is not better than the rock at the bottom of the ocean, it is simply existing in a completely different environment.
We humans are like the rock and the angels are like the graceful seabirds. To bring the two closer for better communication, one must rise and the other must lower and slow down. It is not easy for either as they are created to exist in their respective environments. If the seagull does manage to dive into the water, it can only go down so far and only stay down so long before it must go back up for air. If, somehow, the bird was taken to the bottom of the ocean where the rock easily exists, the pressure of the water would kill it.
When we get frustrated with our unsuccessful attempts to 'hear' the messages of our angels, it is like rock sitting on the ocean floor getting upset that it cannot 'hear' the flapping wings of the seabirds flying high above the ocean.
So what is the answer for humans seeking angelic closeness and communication? It is an ongoing process of becoming 'lighter'. Sloughing off the 'heavier' energies of depression, anxiety, greed, vanity, blame, anger... through personal self-healing work. As you release these denser energies, your frequency lifts. Divine energy can more easily flow through your chakra and meridian system. This opens your communication channels to higher realms. The more you 'lift your spirits' the more you open yourself up to these realms.
There are a number of techniques you can use to help you lift your vibration, many of them I teach on my angel workshops (email me at zoehenderson@hotmail.com to find out about upcoming workshops near you). Here though, are some exercises to get you started. Practise an exercise like the below daily:
1. Sit in stillness
All you do is sit comfortably, ideally with your back straight, your eyes closed, with no disturbances. Set a timer for 10 minutes. Spend that time just observing your breath going in and out. When your mind wanders (and it will), simply notice it, smile and go back to your breath. 
2. Sit in the power
Again, sit comfortably, set a timer for 10 minutes, close your eyes and imagine taking your consciousness about 300 feet above your head. Imagine a bright ball of beautiful light. Go into this light. Let it infuse your whole body. Imagine yourself sitting in this ball of bright light and see it extend six feet around you in every direction. 
3. Tune in to your body
​Your whole body is like an antenna for energy. This is why, when we quiet our thoughts, we feel things in our heart, our bones, our stomach. If you need guidance about something in life, allow your angels to communicate through your body. Quiet your mind, think of this thing and notice the sensations in your body. Does your stomach clench with anxiety? Does your breathing speed up, which is a sign of stress? Does your heart feel brighter and joyful? Do you get goosebumps, aka 'truth bumps'? Do you get a tingling up your spine? This is all communication. Ultimately, your heart knows the way, run in that direction. 
4. Do more of what makes your heart sing
When we 'lift our spirits' we are closer to the angels. For example, you could spend time with an animal, you could lay on the grass and watch the clouds, you could laugh with friends or play peekaboo with a baby, you could be creative (art, pottery, baking, crafting, painting, knitting, writing) or you could move your body (cycling, walking, motorbike riding, dancing, rollerblading...). What in life makes your heart feel lifted? Do more of it. 
Let me know how you get on! Leave me a comment below.

Lots of love, Zoe xx

Hello Darling!
Let me tell you about one of my horse clients in this blog. In case you didn’t know, I heal animals as well as humans and in fact a great deal of my time is spent going to different stables to give healing to horses. I don’t often write about it, though, so I thought I’d do that now.
Last week, I got a call from a new client. She owns a stables and riding centre with a number of horses and I had been recommended to her by another horse owner. This woman was so desperate for help with one of her horses that she was even ready to try this ‘crazy lady’ who talked to animals and healed them with her hands!
The horse in question was a beautiful dressage horse but in the last couple of years he had developed some behavioural problems. He would be riding perfectly, doing his dressage work perfectly, then suddenly start wildly shaking his head, try to rear and generally act up. The rider would be frightened and it was dangerous for both of them. The owner said it was like the horse had some kind of Tourette’s condition. She was finding it increasingly difficult to ride him because he was so unpredictable.
I went along to find out what the problem was and, of course, it was all mental and emotional trauma on the horse’s part. The horse showed me that he still had bad memories of when he was first broken in. It was done by a man who had a mean voice, the horse told me. This man wasn’t abusive as such but the voice he used with the horse was nasty it had left the horse with a fear of men, in particular of men with loud voices.
The owner confirmed that the horse does not like loud men.
As well, the horse showed me that when a saddle was put on him for the first time, it was done by a man who was in a hurry. This man didn’t fit the saddle properly. Instead of spending the time to make the necessary adjustments, he forced the saddle on and it hurt the horse in the process. This horse has never been okay with saddles since.
Again, the owner confirmed that this horse could be very particular about what saddle he would wear.
These old unhealed traumas were at the root of the behavioural issues that the horse was now displaying. They were about unhealed trauma.
As well, this fabulous horse was a creature of very high integrity, he is a perfectionist and will pretend he’s fine when he’s not because he wants to do a good job.
I went about healing him as I always do, I removed the trauma from these early experiences with EFT Tapping and EFT Matrix Reimprinting and I channelled the healing energies into his energetic and physical body to start moving the old trauma energy out of his system.
I am very happy to report that the horse responded really well to the healing – as all animals usually do. Animals are so receptive to healing, so much more accepting that humans are.
While I was there, I also had a chat with the humans! I explained to the riders how much of their negativity is taken on by their horse and that, when they ride a horse, it’s crucial to keep their minds clear of worry and negativity. If you’re on a horse and getting depressed and anxious as you think about your problems, your horse will also get depressed and anxious.
When you sit on a horse, your nervous system connects with the horse’s through your spines. The rider’s spine will go into the horse’s spine, it’s like a direct line energetically. It’s like plugging two creatures in and making one. You become one with the horse when you sit on its back. So be aware of the energy you’re sending to this beautiful creature, take responsibility for your ‘energetic hygiene’. Just as we don’t wipe our mud-covered shoes on our friends, don’t wipe your energetic mud all over them either.
When I was growing up with my horses, they were my best friends and, yes, we would chat together. I used to talk to my horse about my problems but I would do it sitting on the ground next to him, I’d never focus on my problems when I was on his back, otherwise I would transfer my negative energies to him.
It’s not just horses and riders though. In fact, all pet owners transfer their emotions and stress to their animals but with a horse and rider and the connection of the spinal cords, it is stronger. As well, horses are especially intelligent and sensitive animals.
Lots of love, Zoe xx

Hello darlings!
Well, here we are. Standing poised at the gateway as the doors to another brand, new year open up and beckon us forward.
What, I wonder, shall we find awaits us on the other side of these energetic doors? What challenges lie ahead to test our mettle and help us grow and evolve on all levels of our existence – physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. What adventures await? What joys, opportunities and blessings? This new year is bursting with potential and possibility. What will you create?
I do love the start of a new year. It’s like closing one wonderful book and looking forward to opening a new book, perhaps by an exciting new author or the latest, long anticipated offering from a much-loved favourite author.
In numerology terms, 2019 vibrates with the universal energy of the number 3. The vibration of 3 is creative and expressive – so creative expression is key. It is the number of communication and is linked to the throat chakra. Expect more people speaking up and speaking out. The three is a powerful number as well with regards to union of the mind-body-spirit. The Father-Son-Holy Ghost, or Mother-Daughter-Divine Feminine. The past-present-future. It’s about bringing all aspects of yourself into balance. As well as bringing balance into the world so the re-balancing of the masculine and feminine in the world will continue. For each of us personally, it is the chance to rebalance so if any part of your life feels out of balance, 2019 is the year that will offer you the chance to correct this.
To make the best of your year ahead, I want to talk about welcoming the attitude of gratitude into the energies of your 2019. I believe that, to attract in more blessings and delights and opportunities, one must be truly cognisant of and grateful for the blessings one already has. I was reminded of this by a lovely story that someone told me recently. I have transcribed it here for you to read now. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Let me wish you every happiness for the year ahead. Happy new year!
 
“I dreamed that I went to heaven and an angel was giving me a tour. We walked with each other down a vast corridor. My guide stopped at a doorway and gestured for me to enter. Inside was  massive workroom filled with angels bustling about.
‘This is the receiving room,’ my angel explained. ‘Here, all the world’s prayers to God are received.’
I looked upon all the angels sorting petitions written on piles and scraps of paper from all over the world. I was impressed by both the order and the chaos of this busy workroom. My guide and I continued down the corridor until we reached a second doorway. The angel turned to me and said, ‘This is the packaging and delivery room. Here, the graces and blessings that the world’s people are requested are processed and sent for delivery.’
Again, I couldn’t help but be impressed by how busy the room was. Angels were darting about, packaging the blessings for delivery to the people of Earth. My guide and I continued on until we arrived at the farthest end of the corridor. To my surprise, only one angel was in this room, sitting idly with nothing to do.
‘This is the acknowledgement room,’ my angel guide quietly admitted to me.
‘How is it that there is no work happening in here?’ I asked. The angel seemed embarrassed. ‘It’s very sad,’ he explained. ‘After people receive the blessings that they asked God for, very few send back acknowledgements.’
‘How does one acknowledge their blessings from God?’ I asked.
‘Easy,’ the angel answered. ‘Just say “Thank you, Lord”.’
‘What kinds of blessing should they acknowledge?’ I asked.
The angel smiled and explained, ‘If you have food on your table, clothing on your back, and a roof overhead, you are richer than 75% of the world.
‘If you have money in the bank and in your wallet, you are among the top 8 per cent of the world’s wealthy. If you wake up with more health than illness, you are more blessed than all those who will not survive the day. If you have never had to endure the fear of battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, or the agony of torture, then you are better off than 700 million people in the world. If you can attend church without fear of harassment, arrest or death, you are more blessed than 3 billion people. If your parents are still alive and still married, then your fortune is very rare indeed. If you can hold your head up and smile, you’re unique to all those who despair.’
When I woke, I pondered over how we can start acknowledging our blessings. If you can read this message you are doubly blessed. You are more blessed than over 2 billion people in the world who cannot read at all. If you can see this on your own device, you are part of the one per cent in the world who can afford that opportunity. Have a good day and always count your blessings.
 
Lots of love, Zoe xx

Hello Darling!
As I write this, it is the 1st of December. Christmas is almost upon us! My tree will be arriving on Monday and I will be harnessing the powers of my grandchildren to have it appropriately festooned in all things Christmassy -- tinsel, sparkly baubles, lights, and all the various trinkets that have been added to the Christmas decorations box over the years.
Christmas means different things to different people. While some people throw themselves with gusto into the swing of the party season,  others prefer a more relaxing, low-key time spent with loved ones, or even alone. Me, I do enjoy dressing up and popping the cork on a bottle of bubbly.
It's very easy to forget, though, in this modern world of manic consumerism, that the roots of Christmas are spiritual. Somewhere along the way, Jesus, Mary and the angels have been pushed aside by Father Christmas with his elves and flying reindeer.
I'm happy to say though that the angels don't mind this! They actually love the Christmas season. They love the fun and displays of affection. They keep busy going around spreading sparkling energy of peace and love, raising these feelings in our hearts. Some of their work is happy but much of what they do also revolves around looking after the sick and easing the burdens of the poor, as well as those who are stuck in the kitchen stressing out over turkeys in the oven and sprouts on the stove!
​The truth is that, although we're all supposed to be so happy and jolly at Christmas time (if we are to believe the TV ads for John Lewis, Asda, Waitrose, Coca Cola, M&S etc), in reality this can be a time of pressures, sadness, depression and family arguments. The angels have more work to do than ever in spreading love and keeping peace. It's a bigger job than usual because our human emotions are so heightened at this time of year. We have higher highs and lower lows. And such high expectations of ourselves and others at this time.
So many of us get anxious because we feel obligated to spend more than we want to and so financial worries come to the fore. We worry about disappointing people. We eat and drink to excess then feel bloated and guilty, relationships develop cracks under the extra pressures... .
So this is the message I've been asked to give you from the angels... first, take a big deep breathe. Slow down. Don't do so much, don't stress so much, don't worry so much. Take note of and be grateful for the love and laughter in your life. 'Tis the season to be jolly not the season to be frantic and harassed. All you need to do is open your heart and channel love into the world. There are so many more ways to show your affection for someone than buying them trinkets. As well, bringing peace to the world includes the planet we call home so think about how you can avoid adding to the plastic trash load she's already bearing. (That last bit was me but I'm sure the angels would agree!)
I wish you a sublimely happy festive season. I hope you take time this Christmas to relax, love, laugh, and enjoy the sparkle of the season. If you can help someone who's not doing so well, all's the better. Be grateful for your many blessings and have as much fun as you can. 
See you in 2019!

Lots of love, Zoë xx

Hello Darling!
This month I’ve had a few of my own messages from Spirit and I must say it’s not always easy to accept their advice! I had been wondering why so much seemed to be ‘going wrong’ in my life – from floods in my apartment, the ceiling in my dining room collapsing, to two car tyres needing changing, to teeth needing extracting, to cutting my hand, an inflamed knee, and more. It was just one thing after another.
‘What on earth is going on?’ I asked my angels. ‘Why am I facing this constant stream of problems?’
It is all essentially a kick up the behind, I was told. I keep asking for certain changes in my life but I am, apparently, not doing enough to step forward into this new direction. The old structures must be released to crumble before new ones can be built and there is a part of me resisting this because, let’s face it, change is scary – even when it is change we want and have asked for.
My questions to myself, therefore, include, ‘what part of me is resisting change and why?’ and ‘what am I afraid to let go off?’
I’m sharing this with you because I know a lot of people struggle with this kind of thing. Many of us swing back and forth between wanting the excitement of growth, development and change but we also want the safety and familiarity of our comfort zones. They don’t call them ‘growing pains’ for nothing!
Is there part of you that’s resisting stepping fully into your power? Is a part of you resisting putting your heart’s desires as your top priority? Resisting putting yourself first? Resisting taking those steps to the future you dream of for fear of losing the security of the old?
Look around at the messages the Universe is giving you every day. The Universe speaks to us in a million ways all the time. From overheard conversations, to small mishaps, songs on the radio, through the behaviour of animals, birds and insects. These messages start out as subtle nudges but if we continually ignore them, the messages get louder (like your dining room ceiling literally caving in!).
Your path forward is beckoning. You can tentatively walk into your future or you can stay where you are, continually recreating the present by recycling the same thoughts, beliefs, emotions and patterns that created your current present reality. There is no right or wrong in which you choose. It comes down to what you prefer. If nothing changes, however, then nothing changes. As Einstein said, ‘doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results is a sign of insanity’.
How to begin stepping into a brighter future? You don’t have to make huge and dramatic gestures. Start with little things. If you always brush your hair and teeth with your right hand, swap hands. Brush your hair and teeth with your left hand. If you always eat the same thing for breakfast, change it one morning. Always order a latte? Try a cappuccino. If you always listen to the same radio station, try a different one. Or drive without the radio on at all. Notice the phrases that habitually roll off your tongue. Say different things. For example, if you always respond to ‘how are you?’ with ‘I’m fine’ try out some new responses, ‘I’m very well, thank you’, ‘I couldn’t be better!’, ‘I’m having a wonderful day’, etc.
It’s about sending ourselves – our soul, our brain, our cells -- a message that we’re open to change. It’s about shifting our old energies and reducing the fear of breaking out of our routine. It’s about creating new neural pathways in our brain.
We are in a constant dance of creation with the Universe but we need to show willing and step onto the dance floor if we want to learn some new moves.
I shall be doing my best! Wish me luck. And let me know in the comments below about changes you’re making in your life.
 
Lots of love, Zoë xx
