So often we think we need a relationship to feel complete and forget that two halves don’t make a whole when it comes to love. If we get into a relationship feeling needy we so often find a relationship that fails to meet our needs.

Finding love doesn’t necessarily mean finding a relationship but being in love with yourself does mean that any relationship you do find will be truly loving and supportive. I was often told it was easier to find a job when you already had one, finding love when you are already in love with yourself is so much easier.

Allow the angels to help you find the love of your life. Read on and find out how!


1. Open your heart and heal the wounds of the past

So many of us spend years having the same relationship, we just have it with different people. Until we release the past and allow those old wounds to heal it is impossible to create a relationship that is truly supportive and loving. We keep recreating the same patterns. Aks for help, ask for the willingness to let go of the past and heal all those old wounds. Allow the angels to infuse you with the energy of forgiveness, acceptance and joy.

2. Guide your way toward true, unconditional love

When people open their hearts and their minds to the angelic realms they often begin to see signs. Some people find pennies, some feathers, while others see angels in the clouds. Open your heart and your mind and allow the angels to guide you toward true and unconditional love day by day, moment by moment and thought by thought.

3. Help you develop discernment

Angels can help  us see what really is instead of seeing what we think it is. We all have an inner knowing, the ability to see beyond the limitations of life. Ask for help to connect with your intuition and to have the courage to act upon it. You’ll be surprised by the gifts following your inner voice will bring into your life.

4. Remind you to lighten up

As the saying goes, angels fly because they take themselves lightly. As you deepen your connection with the angelic realms your ability to laugh and experience all the joy life holds will expand.  Love follows laughter.

5. Find the bright side of life

There are two ways to live life. One way we see all the endless possibilities and allow them to flow easily and effortlessly into our life. We see the glass as half full. Or we can see the glass as half empty and live a life of worry and regret. Allow the angels to show you how to always see the bright side of life no matter what’s happening around you.

6. Make joy your guide

We can move away from pain and then we create pain to move away from or we can make joy our guide and experience more joy more of the time. Allow the angels to remind you of your joyous nature. Joy and love go hand and hand.

7. Show you how to glow from within

When you love yourself you glow from within.  I am sure you have met people that you immediately liked, that are easy to be with and are surrounded by friends. Allow the angels to show you how to open your heart and let your own beautiful light shine.  Love will find you instead of you having to look for it!

8. Laugh and be merry
 
Laughter soothes the soul and comforts the heart. Begin to see life through the eyes of angels and hear the laughter of true joy.

9. Remind you of your perfection

When you see yourself as you really are rather than how you’ve some to believe you are you see the perfection that God created, YOU. If you let them the angels will help you see your perfection and the perfection of all those around you. What a glorious life that is to live in.

10. Find the magic in everyone and everything

Life really is magical. There are miracles all around us if we are willing to see them and begin looking for them. The more we acknowledge magic the more frequently we experience it. When we are willing to see the magic in people they seem to act more lovingly. It allows them to be more than they can be otherwise. Once again ask for help in seeing the world through the eyes of the angles.

11. Smile more

Let your inner angel out and smile more. It takes less muscles to smile than it does to frown so practice smiling until it becomes just what you do.

12. Teach you about compassion

Angels never judge anything, they live unconditionally and know only compassion and love.  Ask them to teach you about compassion. Ask them to show you how to release all judgment and see all of life compassionately.  Above all else, practice being compassionate, gentle and kind with yourself.

13. Accept who and what is or was

We often feel miserable because we can’t accept what happened or what is going on presently in our lives. Angels move from one perfect moment to the next. Judging what’s happening is like saying to God you messed up. Allow the angels to help you see the perfection in everything.

14. Illuminate your gifts

You were born with incredible gifts and talents. God never made anything less that is not perfect and without you the universe would be incomplete. If you have any doubts about how wonderful you are ask the angels to help you see your gifts and talents.

15. Fill your words with love

Our words can be filled with love or with anger and fear. Sometimes our voice can be encouraging and loving or it can be abrasive and judgmental. Allow the angels to help you find your voice and to fill all your words with love.

16. Smooth out the rough patches

Life is a journey. Sometimes the tide is in and sometimes the tide is out. Angels are wonderful at comforting us and encouraging us to see the best in ourselves and others. Allow them to smooth out the bumps and grease the wheels of success for you.

17. Know you are loved, you are lovable and you swim in a sea of love

I often end my guided meditations with the statement: You are loved, you are lovable and you are loved. As I have said many times you are surrounded by angels and swim in a sea of love. Open your heart and your mind to the gentle whispers of the angels so you can begin to know that with all your heart and all your soul.

18. Let your true essence shine through

You are the star of your life. Allow the essence of who and what you really are shine forth and you will be amazed at what happens. Again allow the angels to help you see your essence and allow that to shine forth in all areas of your life.

19. Lead you toward greater joy, happiness and love

Angels know all the short cuts to joy, happiness and love. Let them show you the way and be willing to follow their guidance. Over the years I have done some odd things that had surprising results in my life like volunteering at a homeless shelter or teaching self esteem classes in the men’s prison. Each time I have taken a risk and followed that divine guidance my life has improved exponentially.

20. Teach you to love with an open heart

You can let go of a pencil with your palm facing up and even though you let go of the pencil it is still in your hand. If you let go of a pencil with your palm facing down the pencil falls away by itself. If you love with an open heart, unafraid of being hurt you will attract very different people than you did when you loved with that fear lurking in the back of your mind. Allow the love of the angels to help you let go of that fear.

21. Help you see the beloved in everyone

I have been reading the writings of spiritual masters and saints for a long time. On several occasions I have seen people refer to God or Jesus or Buddha as the beloved. I believe that energy of the divine resides within us all. When I practice seeing the beloved in everyone the world is a very different place. Have the angels help you see the beloved in everyone, especially yourself.

If you practice these 21 steps your life will be full of not just love but of all the gifts life has to offer.

With love and aloha,
Susan
