CHANNELED MESSAGES FROM: THE ANGELS OF SURRENDER & RELEASE

Dear Ones, Are you hanging onto anything that is preventing you from your new lease on life? This is a time of massive change for both Mother Earth and her inhabitants. Your recent global events - earthquakes, tsunamis which literally shook everyone in all-ways, was a wake-up call. It is a call for change, re-evaluation and re-negotiation. Letting go of old habits, confining situations, resistance, relationships, beliefs, attitudes, your logical minds, self-inflicted boundaries, ego, is paramount to letting "God" flow through freely like water. It is a time for letting go of being in control for the harder you hold on, the stronger the opposing force. The phrase 'get out of your own way" for many of you is in your way, and yielding to your own Higher Self, your Higher Knowing within yourself is waiting patiently, waiting to work with you. Release with 'ease" and in your surrender you are able to 'render' into new life. Blessed Be to All./*

THE COACHES CORNER - "ASK THE COACH"

Dear Olena,

I am a new coach ready to start professionally. I have friends and family members who support what I do, and want to work with me. Valueing my time and energy is important to me, however I feel odd about charging these people that I know. I also do not want to feel used just because they are my family and friends. How do I balance and find a solution to this problem? Denise from South Carolina

Dear Denise:

Thank you for your question. This is an all too common dilemna that anyone has, whether they are a coach or anyone in the so-called 'helping' profession. It gets stick when interpersonal relationships get mingled in with business or service. This is certainly something I have had to tackle myself when I first started doing energy work and then later on in my health practice. I found that many people (family aside) that I knew personally were actually the ones who wanted free advice or sessions all the time or attempted to contact me at in my home, when in fact I had a business/office. Through a few trial and error moments, and a few 'courageous conversations' I decided that the only way to solve the problem was for me to become very clear on my boundaries - what I would accept, what I would not accept, etc. And in order to set boundaries between ourselves and other people, it is important to think about who we are, and who we are not.

So the bottom line is truly deciding on what where your line exists, and if you want to draw on. This is a situation where you will have to come down either on one side or another. Either you charge money for your time, energy, expertise, skill, etc. or you don't. And the second part to this is the trickier part - expressing that boundary with the people involved. If you decide that you are worth the money exchange for your time and energy, then communicate it clearly with everyone involved and stick to it. Either way, you will easily discover who will respect the choices that you make and who doesn't. The other angle to all of this has to do with respect for yourself. Yes, Aretha Franklin said it best I think. The underlying question that I will leave you with is - do you respect yourself enough to honor yourself and what you do and clearly communicate it to everyone that you meet?

All the power to you in your new-found profession. Olena/*

HAVING COURAGEOUS CONVERSATIONS

There is a theme running through this month of June. And it's all about courage, courage to communicate your truth, and courage to let go with grace and love. In previous issues I have written (and channeled!) about letting of what doesn't serve you, what you don't need, whether it's material or immaterial. Well I recently returned from a fabulous week-long workshop in England of which I did some powerful release work right in the middle of sacred Stonehenge. The facilitator of the workshop posed a question regarding relatonships that no longer served our higher growth. We had to mentally go through all the people in our lives, no matter what kind of relationship it was, and find what didn't resonate, what didn't serve our Higher Being, what was discordant, etc. One person that I knew who at one point I had considered a close acquaintance, but hadn't connected with over a year, in my heart I knew I had to let go of. Over time, the relationship had changed and shifted and from my end, I didn't feel connected with this person any longer.

With an inner groan and some slight reluctance, I knew that I had to have a courageous conversation with this person. You know those types of conversations. We all have had them one time or another, through your initiation or perhaps forced. Either way, they are the ones that we resist or avoid, the ones that we don't want to have because we feel uncomfortable. And yes, the ones on topics that are deep, seemingly heavy, and yet ring fully with honesty and truth. Like the 'I love you, but ...' , 'I had an affair 3 years ago', 'I want a divorce', or the 'I'm scared that you will leave' type of conversations. And in my case, I had to be honest about where the relationship stood from my perspective, honor my boundaries and come from a place of total authenticity. Why? Because it is necessary to our well-being. I also consider myself a valuable human being and respect myself in the process. And by avoiding honesty, I would be going against that authentic part of me, which would in turn cause discord somewhere within me. Suppressing how we feel, not being honest or authentic with ourselves eventually can backfire - have an effect not just our emotional selves but our physical body as well. You know the phrase 'what's eating at you?' Well, literally it can. Suppressed emotions harbor inside the body and can absolutely manifest into physical issues. If you merely think about the conversation or potential conversation and feelings come up - embarassment, shame, fear, anger, love, there's a clue and it's definitely a conversation that's worth having. Being authentic takes courage and verbalizing our authenticity, even though difficult is actually transforming.

Taking the step in being verbally courageous also shows you where your fears lie. We all fear something. Fear of losing something when we are honest, fear oc changes and endings, fear of how the other person will respond, fear of painetc. And yet, our fears are the gateway to transformation on both sides, yours and the person involved. Pushing through the fears that are there, actually liberates oneself to be who you truly are.

So have courage. Be reponsible for yourself and what is in you - your beliefs, your feelings, your actions. Share honestly. Be authentic and ... be you.

SPIRITUAL "FITNESS" COACHING with OLENA

Question: What is the difference is between our Intuitive Guidance Sessions and Spiritual Coaching? Answer: The time involved, the depth of where you going and what you want to achieve.

Spiritual Coaching is a longer, more expanded version of our Intuitive Guidance Sessions. Rather than having a one-time informative session, spiritual coaching is about actually helping you expand yourself and connect Mind, Body & Spirit. This is partnership between yourself, the coach, and our intricate band of 'spirit' helpers. And by working with another who also has experienced spiritual growth, it is easier to grow and share yourself.

So - Are YOU ready to stretch and grow? Want to fly and figure our your next steps? Do you need help staying on track? Or do you feel that you have a purpose here, but don't know how to uncover it or what to do? Developing a personal plan, creating a vision, setting and achieving goals, staying on track, discovering your uniqueness, are just a small handfull of ways that we can help you to become spiritually "fit". Our 6-month coaching plans were designed specifically for all of these reasons, and more. For more information, visit IndigoCrystalCoaching and click on Coaching and What To Expect.
