Archangel Gabriel Lifts the Fog of Depression

Free Advice from Angel Intuitive, Eileen Smith

Reader Question: I have tried to contact my angel, but I don't seem to be very receptive or have much luck. I have depression and my mind races, I think this is why I am unsuccessful, do I have a guardian angel and can you tell me how I can recognize them? Once when I meditated I felt a strong male presence I think may have been my angel but I am not sure.
~ Kim

Eileen's Response: In my work as a healer I have observed that depression, excessive worrying and anxiety can certainly be a block to our connection to the Divine. However, please know that it doesn't cut us off completely. You are still receiving love, energy and guidance from your angels and guides. Depression and anxiety makes our lives challenging and I always encourage people to get help so that they don't suffer needlessly.

The angels and guides tell me depression, drugs, alcohol and negative thoughts can be like a thick fog in our energy bodies. The angels are giving me the image of the angels being a lighthouse and depression being a fog. You can see the lighthouse and it still shines light into the fog. But ask yourself, how much more light could get through if the sky was clear? How much clearer you could see the lighthouse if there was no fog?

You do have a guardian angel. Everyone does, and more than one. We also have archangels who come into our lives to assist us. Yes, that is right! The archangels themselves will be aware of us and come in to serve the Divine in our lives. They want you to know you ARE worthy of them. We all are.

The angel who you felt that time you were mediating was one of my most beloved guides and Divine companions, Gabriel. Gabriel would like to assist you in achieving the mental clarity and focus you had been asking for. Knowing this, continue to call upon him to help you.

Gabriel is the archangel I suggest my clients and students call upon when they are depressed, unfocused or in need of confidence. And of course in any kind of situation where communication is important as Gabriel is the messenger of the Creator. Gabriel's name means God is my strength. To me he appears as a tall, slim and soft featured male with light brown-blonde curling hair and amazingly blue eyes. He is robed in white with incredibly bright white and yellow energy. He is the Master of the White Light Ray.

Knowing this, continue to call upon him to help you.

There are angels who are guardians of the four corners of the earth - North, East, South and West. Gabriel is the angel of the West and also of the element of water. Gabriel has helped me so much in my life, from the mundane to the miraculous, that I say without hesitation Gabriel is my friend. He's my buddy. One time at sunset I saw a bright light on the horizon towards the western sky. It was so bright that it looked like the headlights of a commercial airplane. And then it spoke to me. It was Gabriel come to give me message of hope and guidance when I was at a crossroads in life and unclear as to what was my next step. I surrendered that next step into his care. And that is one thing my dear readers you can feel safe and secure i - if you surrender your cares into the hands of a high holy one such as Gabriel, all is well.

Gabriel says to the readers here:

"People would be amazed at how common it is for archangels to act as guides for people, especially those who do any kind of teaching and healing in the world."

So dear Kim, surrender yourself into Gabriel's care because he is with you and would like to assist you for your highest good. Commit yourself to what is necessary to clear that fog we spoke about earlier so you can feel the very real love and powerful wisdom Gabriel has for you.

I accept nothing less or something better

Tuesday May 22, 2012

Manifesting Advice - The biggest hurdle many folks face in creating abundance is surrendering control over to the universe, allowing it to bring them the prosperity they desire. We fret and stew. We mistakenly focus on the "lack of having" instead of allowing opportunities and relationships to evolve naturally. Just as a watched pot never boils our manifestation seeds cannot grow optimally when worry, fear, or anxiousness overshadow them.

My advice is to not dwell on whatever it is that you are wanting to happen or changes you desire in your life. Empower yourself by stating your intention request and release it to the universal winds to carry it out into the world where it can attract the energies you wish to have returned to you. Then, get busy living your life day-to-day, do whatever you can to find happiness in every moment.

Don't get stuck in "It won't ever happen" or 'I'm not deserving" defeating thinking. Be willing to accept opportunities from a variety of doors... accept nothing less than what you desire or something better.
