Archangel Gabriel through Shelley Young ~ The End of the Review Stage

We have spoken of how many of you are going through a life review as you wrap up the first phase of your incarnation. This can involve many old memories coming up, processing old hurts or disappointments, identifying themes and patterns, and having emotions come up for identification and release.

You prioritize the processing of the heavier energies first. But there is another part of life review that many of you don’t realize, and many of you may be starting to experience. It is examining the successes of your life, and having the awareness to acknowledge the things that you did very well. These memories or awarenesses may start coming to light for you. As they do, it is an indicator that you are nearing the end of the review stage.

Just looking at what you consider to be wrong is not a true and complete review. There must also be an accounting of what you did that made a positive difference, the acts of kindness, the growth you accomplished, and the connections and love you shared.

Isn’t it interesting that it seems there is much more to be released than there is to be celebrated? That is because what needed to be released is not indicative of the real you. It is harder for you to assess your successes, your kindness, your innate goodness because that is your truth. It doesn’t stand out as much because it is who you are. But it is important to acknowledge your strengths and successes because your review is designed to bring you clarity on what you wish to carry forward with you to grow and expand upon.

You are purity and goodness at your core. You are divinity in a body. A large part of the embodiment process is simply recognizing that truth and allowing it to lead the way forward. This is why self love is such an essential part of the enlightenment process. You must have the ability to assess yourself accurately, not just through the lens of what is wrong, but through the lens of what is absolutely wonderful about you, as well.

It is only through your fair and true self acknowledgement you will finally give yourself permission to let your beingness lead the way, secure in the knowingness it is more than enough. And that, Dear Ones, is exactly the times you are in right now and the task at hand as you prepare to step fully into the next phase of your incarnation.

Archangel Gabriel through Shelley Young ~ What Lights Your Path?

If you talk endlessly about something and never take action to move toward it, we highly recommend you get curious about why that is.

Are you afraid? If so, what of? Are you worried you will fall into ego if you are successful? Slow, conscious steps will not allow that to happen. Are you worried your life will change? It will, and it will change for the better as all change is designed to take you into a fuller expression of yourself. If your soul has been beckoning you forward in a direction it is because it will create positive expansion for you.

Are you worried that you don’t have what it takes? Again, small conscious steps will assure your success. Are you worried you will get too much attention if you do? It is safe for you to be seen and recognized for your efforts. In fact, your taking action may very well inspire others to step into their dreams, too!

As humans, your mind will often tell you that your efforts must be all or nothing. Your inner wise one knows empowered change comes from integrating energy a bit at a time and allowing the unfoldment to take it from there.

Why not start to love yourself forward toward that dream in small steps that are easy to incorporate? Before you know it, those steps will accumulate into a momentum that will carry you forward with comfort, grace, and ease.

Do you see what we are saying? It is absolutely within your capability to move into the experience of your dreams and have it be an enjoyable process to do so. The real discomfort comes from not listening to your heart and denying where your soul has been trying to lead you all along because your truest desires exist to light your path and help you find your way forward into your highest, most satisfying life expression.

If you are experiencing an ongoing challenge or theme in your life, you also carry the full potential to master that theme. In fact, that is exactly why you are experiencing it. You want to see that you can also come out the other side of that challenge in a new, more empowered way. You chose the theme because it is on your to-do list to master it, and you are ready to do so.

Let us give you an example that might make it easier for you to understand because it won’t feel so personal. Think of a video game. When you are playing a video game, there is often a great challenge for you to get through before you move on to the next level. You come up to the challenge because you are ready for it. Going through the challenge opens the next level for you.

You don’t see it as punishment or unfair, you simply see it as your next challenge to master. You also know with complete certainty that you have developed the skills to do it. It never enters your mind that you can’t do it. You realize you must be able to get through it because there are more levels to explore beyond it. And you also know the next level comes with new skills and tools, and new areas to explore and enjoy.

The same it is with your life. The challenges allow you to know yourself better and discover the capabilities you have and to move forward in a new, empowered and expanded way. And what is so wonderful is your growth and experiences serve not only you but also the whole and are exactly what is driving the shift that is occurring on your planet. You are intrepid pioneers of empowerment and we are with you every step of the way.

Many of you understand it is highly beneficial for you to operate from a higher vibrational state. Meditation, walking in nature, and doing things that bring you joy, are all examples of activities that can help you shift your energies into a supportive state of alignment.

What you might not realize is the Divine Combination of surrender, faith, flow, and trust, will also do that for you. In fact, we would go so far as to say that it is a more sustainable system to help you stay in that higher vibrational state because as you get more accustomed to using the Divine Combination it will become your preferred operational system, not something that you only do on occasion for a short period of time.

Because it becomes a way of being, it can create much more profound and lasting change for you, in a shorter period of time. It will allow you to stay in alignment long enough to see where your soul has been trying to lead you all along and for your greatest discoveries, meetings, and manifestations to be made. It will allow the unfoldment of your truest you, and that is a glorious thing, indeed.

Archangel Gabriel through Shelley Young ~ The Realm of Divine Discovery

The realm of potentiality is the energetic space just beyond what you can see that holds the solutions and matches that you’ve been seeking. If you feel into this, it will make sense to you. If the solutions were within the space of what you already are aware of, you would have selected them by now.

So how do you get there? Surrender. Flow. Ask your guides to lead you. Get curious. Be willing to explore and discover beyond the edges of what is known to you.

Your dreams are trying to beckon you forward. Understand that the meeting point will be somewhere between where you are and where they are, because your surrendered movement activates a divine intersection.

• Be willing to move and take inspired action when the right energetic wave comes.
• Release micromanagement and be willing to be surprised.
• Stay in a space of faith and trust and receiving.
• Let go of the old and be willing to embrace the new.

There is so much more available to you than you realize, Dear Ones, and that is exactly what your team of helpers, along with the assistance of your highest self, are trying to reveal to you. The unfoldment will take you there if you are willing to move out of the known into the energies of divine discovery.

Archangel Gabriel through Shelley Young ~ Unexplored Territory

As you move into the energies of the new, you are very much pioneers. When you pioneer, you are exploring. You move beyond the ideas of good or bad, right or wrong, success or failure, into the acceptance that all your experiences have value.

Let us suppose that you are a pioneer in a new land looking for water. You decide to go to your left. As you explore that direction you realize that there is a cliff there and no water source at all. That is valuable information! You will remember in the future that going to the left cannot provide you what you seek.

This will allow you a more direct route to water when you discover where it is. It will also help others know that is not the direction to take if you are looking for water. You are getting used to navigating without a map because you are the creators of the maps!

This is a beautiful example of how your curiosity and explorations serve not only you but also the whole. You are entering previously unexplored energies on your planet right now. Be curious!

Know that all experiences have great value for you. And rest easy that as you find your way, you will make the way much easier for those who will one day want to walk in your footsteps. This is such an exciting time on your planet, where much will be discovered and those discoveries will serve many generations to come.

Archangel Gabriel through Shelley Young ~ Catalyst for a New Dawn

You have heard of the dark night of the soul. Many of you have experienced it. It is the time when you hit an energetic rock bottom, and you realize that you simply cannot continue on the way that you have been. It is the moment when you drop resistance and embrace change. The low acts as a catalyst to detach from an old timeline and shift into something far more conscious and expansive.

What you may not realize is that the dark night of the soul can also happen for a collective, and that is exactly what is happening on your earth at this time. And what is so remarkable is that you chose to come to the planet as a source of unconditional love, and a stabilizing support, as the old bottoms out in preparation for shifting fully onto a new time line.

Dark nights of the soul are difficult. They are messy and distressing, but they always signal a huge leap in growth and the opening of new potentials and possibilities. They happen because the individual, or the collective, is ready for more; they always mark the end of one phase and the dawn of a new day.

The dark night is a transformative process designed to birth the new. You might liken it to hard labour. You do not think that you can possibly survive, but you do survive, and much good comes of it. It might help to consider yourselves birthing coaches for the new. You cannot take on the labour for another, but you can certainly stay calm, offer support and encouragement, and share in the wonder of the birth that is sure to come.

This is the time to allow the process, but to also be the anchor of love and reassurance that others are seeking. Your beingness is your gift, Dear Ones, that shines a light forward for others to follow; and that is glorious service, indeed.

Loving others in their own chosen path is setting the energy you want in your world.

Dear One,

When you love others and allow them to follow their own chosen path, it awakens the energy of compassion and acceptance within you. This energy fills your heart and permeates your world. It allows you to receive this same energy from others, which can give you a sense of freedom to be all you can be.

At times the chosen path of others may seem destructive to you, and it is not the energy that you would choose to be around. In these situations, often the most loving thing you can do is allow them to follow their chosen path, and you must give yourself permission to follow the path which is in your highest good. This may even mean never seeing them again.

Set the energy you want in your world by awakening your consciousness to all the good available to you. It’s a matter of choice. Attune yourself to only that which you would have in your life. Release the need to be right. Close your mind to the negative thoughts that threaten your happiness.

Moment to moment, make the choice to live in the Light of Pure Love. As you do, you are being a true bridge from Heaven to Earth.

Making the choice for Love allows you to be in the world but not of the world. When you make the choice to love others as they are, you pave the way for a mass awakening of Love on the planet so all may be free.

Receive Love, give Love and be Love. With this loving energy as your intention, remember your Message from Archangel Gabriel for today:

Loving others in their own chosen path is setting the energy you want in your world.

Archangel Gabriel through Shelley Young ~ Managing Discomfort with Mindfulness

Dear Ones, it is okay to feel discomfort. It doesn’t mean that you are failing, or not evolved enough, or have lost your way or your abilities. Discomfort simply has information for you. Often you will resist feeling your discomfort, but your resistance to explore the discomfort is what perpetuates it, as resistance itself creates discomfort.

Is your discomfort simply trying to get you to redirect? If so, you may wish to employ surrender and flow, ask your guides and helpers for guidance, or simply get curious about what other avenues or approaches you can take. Is your discomfort an appropriate response to something that is happening to you? If so, it is time to offer comfort and understanding to yourself. Is your discomfort simply trying to get you to use your tools? If so, it is time to remember and apply what you know.

Your discomfort may also just be trying to make you aware that something is not an energetic match for you. It is common for human beings to outgrow situations and connections as they continue to shift and evolve on their journey. Your discomfort may be making you aware of the fact that something that once was a match is no longer in resonance with you.

This is not to suggest that you throw in the towel at the first sign of discomfort! Far from it. There is much to be learned from taking the time to explore what is going on in the situation and making decisions from a space of wisdom and knowledge.

With the fast moving intense energies many of you are experiencing, there are often pockets of discomfort that will be experienced. You may just be in the throes of an energetic download, or old emotions may be coming up for release.

If that is the case, your discomfort will be temporary and is simply a calling to prioritize good self care. True transformation can often come with waves of discomfort before the new is fully birthed. But if you have a consistent discomfort with a certain situation that persists and doesn’t seem to be getting you anywhere, it may be time to explore whether it is time to shift how you interact with that situation or whether it is simply a sign to move on.

All of this is completely normal and part of the awakening process on your planet. We understand it can seem daunting and confusing at times, but we wish to remind you that your own evolution is always serving you and preparing you for your next great adventure. Being consciously aware and taking the time to explore what your discomfort is trying to tell you will always help you make your wisest choice, one now moment at a time.

If you haven’t had a lot of fun in your life lately, it can be an indicator that you have been ignoring your inner child. Your inner child is your CEO of fun!

The first step is to just still yourself and ask your inner child what they need from you. It could be that they’ve been desperate for your love, care, and understanding. Let them know you are there for them and meet their emotional needs first.

Once you feel you have acknowledged and provided them with what they need, invite them out for a date with you. Ask them what they’d like to do and what would bring them joy. You might be surprised to discover that something as simple as going for an ice cream or a walk is all they want, but that ice cream or walk will be a much more wonderful experience than normal because you will be present with them and they will be present with you.

When you connect with your inner child and make them an integral part of your day to day life, much healing can occur. You will feel more comfortable because your abandonment wounds will no longer be in a triggered state. You will feel more complete. You will find it easier to be light and joyful and to notice the wonder and magic that exists all around you. It is a beautiful act of self love that can only positively affect all aspects of you.

Archangel Gabriel through Shelley Young ~ From Wall to Buffer Zone

How much separation you choose between you and others can be indicative of a need for healing. For many of you distance equals safety. There is big difference between healthy boundaries which comes from a space of wisdom and empowerment and separation that is still rooted in fear and perceived powerlessness. There is a difference between solitude and isolation.

So what do you do if you feel you are choosing separation due to unhealed wounds? Explore the space. What emotions are driving the need for distance? Why are you feeling afraid or disempowered?

Once you discern what the prevalent emotion is that is driving that need for space, send love to the the part of you that feels unsafe and then send love to distance itself. Make that space between you and others not a wall, but rather a buffer zone of love and healing that will positively affect everyone involved. As you fill in that distance with the safety and comfort of love and compassion, you will find it much easier to shift into being open to connectedness which is what your soul truly seeks.

Walls, while they often seem like a good idea, keep everything out. We want you to have the full experience of what you yearn for and deserve from connection, such as love, joy, support, encouragement, friendship and so much more! From a healed space you will be able to use your wisdom to let others in who will truly add to your life in the most wonderful ways.

Dear Ones, you might think it is wise to brace yourself for something that you think might be challenging, but bracing is choosing to proceed with resistance. The key to moving forward with the most comfort possible is to work with the elements of surrender and flow.

So if you have something to face that you feel you need to brace yourself for, whether it be experiencing intense energies or something more personal on your journey, honour that initial response and then release it. Surrender into your guidance system and allow your team of helpers (which always includes your highest self) to assist you through your process. That combined with your trust in your own divine capability will help move through it with the utmost grace and ease.

You are not wrong, or bad, or broken. You are magnificent beings who are in the process of both personal embodiment and assisting an ascending planet. You are in the throes of profound transformation on many levels and are handling it in ways that continue to amaze us every single day.

We understand that you can’t see things from our perspective, but we urge you to release your self doubt and negative self talk for they serve no purpose, and shift into grace and love for yourselves because you are doing far greater things than you realize. These are the times you hoped with all your heart you would get to experience and now you are and you are doing an outstanding job!

Archangel Gabriel through Shelley Young ~ Boundaries

We realize that adjusting boundaries can seem daunting, especially if they’ve been in an unhealthy pattern for a long time. But healthy boundaries are essential for helping you, and everyone around you, meet their highest potentials. That is exactly why they are coming up for reexamination for so many of you.

We wish for you to know that shifting your boundaries isn’t mean when you are doing it from a conscious place, although people may accuse you of being mean or unfair as you do so. That is simply because they may be fearing change, or because they are invested in things staying the same. Shifting boundaries isn’t about punishment, it is about seeking an overall balance that is fair.

Most people who resist healthy boundaries are trying to avoid stepping into their own authentic power in some way. This is detrimental as that is exactly what you are on the planet to do! You may have noticed that when you have unhealthy boundaries with another there is a lot of blaming each other involved. When you are consumed with what another is doing, you are not putting your focus on your own growth and evolution.

In some cases, you may need to make a big shift in your relationship to stop old patterning. If you have been in a dance of unhealthy boundaries with another for a long time, you may fear this will end your relationship but the reality is your relationship, if it is wildly out of balance, is doomed to fail. Moving into healthier boundaries is exactly what will give your relationship a chance.

In other cases, you may slowly start shifting things in a way that won’t feel as drastic to others. This can start by you simply feeling into your truth before you answer or act. Ask yourself, is this fair and empowering for everyone involved? You can start saying no to others (or yes to yourself!), or start delegating activities to others that they can easily do for themselves, slowly but surely, to start to enact more gradual change. This requires commitment on your part to stay consciously aware and not fall back into old patterns.

Again we remind you that boundaries are there to support fair, empowering connection for everyone involved. That is always a good thing, and your inner wise one always knows where that point is. You may need to be very firm in extreme cases, or you may gently shift things slowly, but no matter how you get there, rest assured your boundaries exist for the highest good of all, because they allow you to use your energy much more consciously and to finally move out of old cycles and patterns into true forward movement.

As we close out this week’s series of messages on boundaries, we would like to discuss how to know someone has changed enough to let them back into closer proximity to you.

You may have had to create a firm boundary with someone if their behaviour was inappropriate and unacceptable, and wasn’t changing despite your making your feelings known.

If you have been in an unhealthy dance with another for a long time, suddenly becoming firm and deciding you no longer wish to continue with them can seem like a rude awakening. It can feel like shocking someone awake with a bucket of cold water when they have been in a deep sleep.

Any forced, unexpected change can throw another into what is often referred to as the dark night of the soul. Deep change often follows similar steps to the stages of mourning. And they are, in a sense, grieving the loss of the old way of being, even if that way of being was not for their highest good. Most people, when faced with this, go through the following stages:

• Stage One: Shock/denial
• Stage Two: Emotional reaction
• Stage Three: Trying to keep things the same without change
• Stage Four: Emotional bottom
• Stage Five: Opening to change
• Stage Six: Temptation to backslide
• Stage Seven: True change

It is common for people who are attempting to enforce better boundaries to falter when the person in question is in any of the earlier stages, but as you can see giving in too soon would not create any kind of lasting change. It would only be agreeing to continue the same old patterning.

People do change all the time, in fact, that is exactly what the energies you are in are insisting upon. There will absolutely be times when people change for the better and become a safe person to have near to you again. But true and lasting change is a process that requires self awareness, introspection, and true and consistent action steps that reflect their authentic desire to be different.

It is a wise human being who doesn’t rush back in but allows the other the time and space they need to evolve out of the old patterning. If the person is willing to do the work of changing, and if you are willing to give them the space they need to do that work, as well as exploring and healing what made you a willing dance partner in the old patterning, there can absolutely be an opportunity to come back together in a new, far more healthy and mutually beneficial way.

As you evolve, your boundaries evolve, too. When you are at the beginning of your evolutionary journey, you may be living such a base existence that you are only interested in what you can get from others. You seek to fill yourself up from externals because you think that is the only way you can assure your own survival. Eventually you realize you cannot thrive by only breathing in.

Then, as you begin to awaken, you realize you wish to serve others, so you may over give, not allowing yourself to receive. You may swing wildly from one end of the spectrum to the other. You may feel that you can only feel good about yourself by giving so you give more and more. While your intentions are always noble, that will always ultimately lead to exhaustion. Eventually you realize you cannot thrive by only breathing out.

As you realize you were an over giver, you might try to find a point of balance by trying to create set lines in concrete, thinking that is the healthiest ways to preserve yourself and your energy. But eventually you realize that while those lines may serve you well in some cases, they don’t apply to all instances. And you may find yourself feeling isolated and constrained by your self imposed restrictions.

And finally, you arrive at the place where you realize that there are times where the flow supports you in giving, and other times when the flow supports you in receiving. You will come to accept that there are times of intensity where others might require more help, or times of intensity that require you to move into greater self care.

You will also have the wisdom to know when it is time to step in and times to step back and allow others the chance to discover their own divine capability, holding a space of safety and encouragement for them to do so.

We realize all of this can seem confusing at times. You are looking for a hard, fast rule that applies always. But when the flow is always moving, and people are taking huge steps forward, or sometimes needing to take steps backwards in order to hit a bottom that is required in order to redirect them, it can be difficult to know what to do.

And this is why we are here to tell you there is one general rule of thumb you can always use with your boundaries, and that is to seek the solutions that support the empowerment of everyone involved.

Constantly rescuing another impedes their growth. Always telling another what to do, rather than supporting them to connect with their own wisdom and capability, sends a message that you don’t think they are capable of running their own lives. People grow and gain confidence by making their own decisions and learning from the feedback those actions provide.

If someone is about to fall over and truly do harm to themselves, of course the right thing to do is to catch them before they fall. But we highly recommend you do so in a way that is always focused on the goal of them standing on their own again. This is no different than teaching a child how to walk.

Boundaries are not about keeping people out, they are about finding a safe space of connection that honours the growth and well-being of everyone involved. This includes choosing to honour your own safe and supportive environment, as the foundation that allows you to make wise and loving choices for all.

Archangel Gabriel through Shelley Young ~ The ‘Yes’ of Gratitude

Gratitude is the acknowledgment that the universe is working for you.

It is through this acceptance that you can start to experience an even deeper faith and trust, and feel just how loved and guided you truly are. Do you see? Gratitude is the resounding, “Yes!” that leads to many more wondrous things to say yes to, and that is exactly how you enhance and direct your flow.
