Archangel Michael’s Message for 2010 received by
Doreen Virtue
Each December, I ask Archangel Michael for guidance concerning our
next year. He usually gives me “themes” to expect in the new year,
including suggestions for personal growth intentions and actions. The
central theme for 2010 involves you taking personal risks which lead to
spiritual growth and increased well-being and happiness as you
practice, “To thine own self, be true.”
From Archangel Michael:
2010 continues the steady upward progress that you’ve been feeling in
recent years. You may feel tired from the climb and the vast changes of
recent years, and while you may feel in need of a rest, there’s still
more climbing to be done. There will be time to rest and recuperate
soon, we promise.
Your feelings of spiritual progress are grounded in reality, as you are
now much more sensitive to the subtle energies which have always
surrounded you, and which you can now feel. Your next step will be in
managing these energies, so that you can know and trust the benevolence
of the universe, instead of feeling victimized by outside circumstances.
The energies swirling around you are part of the realignment and
adjustments that always occur during shifts and changes. You experience
this phenomenon yourself whenever you make a change in your personal
life, such as moving, changing jobs, or a change in relationships. The
shifts are similar to the earth plate movements of an earthquake, and
although it can feel sudden or even harsh, the movement is simply an
adjustment to prior activities and nothing more.
You’ve endured many shifts and adjustments since 1995, and although
you’d like to take some time to rest, it’s still an upward journey for
you for the next two years. By “upward,” we mean that you’ll feel that
you’re climbing and making progress; however, there will be a sense
often of being a solo climber who is upon cliffs and overhangs. You
will take emotional and intellectual risks, and some may take physical
risks. Yet, inside you will always be safe, protected, and guided. To
feel that sense of safety will require quieting your mind with
meditations. Too much noise from overactivity and sensory overload will
disconnect you from feeling the presence of your guardians and
protectors. Meditate frequently to feel safer and more peaceful.
In 2010 you will find yourself taking these risks toward the freedom of
being totally authentic with others. This means revealing yourself in
new, previously undreamed of, ways. You will step forward immensely
along your path of spiritual growth by revealing your true thoughts and
feelings to yourself first, and then to others secondly. We will of
course, help you to bathe your communications with love, so they’re
truthful and yet kind. Blurting out angry feelings is not the sort of
truth-telling which you will feel good about. You will instead prefer
the well-being and closeness that occurs when you share your feelings
gently and respectfully with others.
In your professional life, you will also take risks. You have found
yourself increasingly discontented with work, and craving meaningful
activities instead. Many have had the opportunity to put these desires
and intentions into action . . . often out of necessity.
The core universal energies are encoded to love, joy, peace, and
happiness. They support any activities immersed in these energies. So
ANY project in which you are happily humming along because you
absolutely love what you’re doing, will be successful for you.
Conversely, any project which is done purely for money (without a love
of the activity) will not last, and nor will the money which is gained
from the loveless project. Therefore, immediately cease all
activities which are engaged in purely for money. Either leave the
situation, or bring some love into the activities. This is a necessity.
Taking risks to reveal your authentic self is part of the total
alignment that Earth is experiencing. You are a reflection of the path
that Earth has taken, wherein she allowed herself to be abused and
used, without protest. She tried to pretend that she was strong and
could take the abuse without protest. But now she has reached her
limit, and so have you. Taking abuse from others is a lethal form of
self-abuse, because ultimately you are allowing it to happen when you
don’t tell others about your authentic feelings. Saying, “No!” to all
forms of abuse is an essential part of spiritual growth for you and for
Earth.
You don’t need to be strong in the sense of stuffing down feelings and
pretending everything’s okay, when it isn’t. You need to be strong only
in the sense of speaking honestly about your true feelings. Take
the risk to tell others how you feel. Take the risk to realign every
part of your life so that it mirrors your true likes, passions, and
interests.
As you and Earth align yourselves with your inner truth, so do the
swirling energies begin to calm and slow down. Right now, in the center
core of the swirling energies, this slower and more peaceful energy
already exists. You tap into this inner core energy every time that you
are true to yourself. And I will help you with this mission in every
way.
