An important part of being human, and something that can’t be avoided, is the pain that comes from simply being vulnerable to the physical world. Your Divine Teachers warn that you’re facing such a time. Sickness may be at hand; and accidents, traumas, sudden loss, and injury are all potentially around you. Whether confronted with something severe, or just the ongoing struggle of getting through the day, your physical body may be challenged, and pain and suffering may follow. This isn’t meant to scare you, but rather to warn you that you’re not as grounded as you should be; in fact, you may be attracting injury or drama to gain some personal space.

Your Divine Teachers advise you to be open to the fact that any pain or upset you attract isn’t without hidden gifts and opportunities. Your broken leg or aching back, for example, may provide the much-needed rest you wouldn’t otherwise take. Your runny nose and cough may give you the privacy you need to regenerate your spirit.

It’s also important to note that any pain or drama you attract isn’t greater than your ability to handle it. The greatest upset you face might actually be in trying too hard to avoid pain, which in the end may cause even more. In other words, the fear that you won’t be able to abide any discomfort is far more disabling than anything you might actually incur. In accepting the upset of the moment with grace, you’ll gain wisdom, compassion, and strength. Your Divine Teachers’ message: “Embrace and be patient with your pain.” It will bring insight and understanding and, in time, peace. You will heal.

Your Guardian Angels are present, alerting you to the fact that all isn’t as it appears; something is off and you may be in danger. Pay close attention to what’s going on around you, as well as what’s going on within you. You’ll soon notice that bad vibes are in the air. They signal that someone is potentially able to exploit or manipulate you in some way, so be on the alert, and trust your vibes if things don’t feel right. “It’s hard to believe,” you say. “That can’t be!” But your Guardian Angels remind you that treachery and deceit are subtle and difficult to see. After all, no one wants to believe that someone might hurt them.

Sometimes it’s a deliberate attempt to injure, but more often it’s an act of self-protection at your expense. It may show up in your co-worker’s failure to inform you that the project deadline has changed, or your mother withholding the fact that your father was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, or even your own neglect to tell your mate that you’ve overspent this month and can’t pay the bills.

Deceit and manipulation need not be maliciously intended to occur or to be damaging. Often it’s just the result of thoughtlessness or fear. Your Guardian Angels urge you to trust your vibes completely when it comes to your suspicions of others. Also, equally scrutinize your own deceptions. Either case leads to dead ends and disappointing outcomes. Ask your Guardian Angels to protect you from the deceit of others and your own temptation to deceive. Have the courage and integrity to be honest. Your Guardian Angels’ message: “We will watch over you.”

Your Healer Guides surround you and lovingly embrace your momentarily injured spirit. They want you to recognize that all attacks, betrayals, or injuries you’ve suffered (whether they were through the unconscious behavior of others or through your own misunderstanding or poor choices) have left you psychically wounded and fragile. It’s no wonder your guard is up! It’s difficult to trust even yourself at this time, but you must. And the only way to do so is to stop blaming yourself or others for what has occurred, and forgive all the way around. Learn from your experiences, and strengthen your boundaries and judgment.

All human beings make grave, and sometimes terrible, mistakes. It’s not your fault that you feel violated; it’s a lesson to learn from. Nor is it weak to acknowledge that you’ve been hurt. Denial may serve you in the midst of crisis, but it only handicaps you if you stay mired in it. Admit to your injuries and disappointments, and allow the nurturing forces of your Healer Guides to step in now. They’re able to soothe your soul and reweave your aura with their loving light and nurturing forces. Trust their influence by dropping your defenses and acknowledging your wounds. They urge you to seek support from capable, caring professionals who can help you learn from these disturbing experiences and show you how to prevent them from occurring again. Their message: “The danger has passed; you are safe. It is time now to heal and learn from your experience.”
