You’re at risk of falling under the spell of self-criticism because of poor choices or learned behavior, and this is bringing on the energy of shame. You can always tell when this soul-deadening vibration is present because it causes you to unconsciously pull back from others (and the loving support of the Universe) and become isolated. It’s quite possible at this time to believe that the world is against you, making you want to hide, withdraw, or push it away. Nothing could be further from the truth! You are your own worst enemy at this time, as the Universe never stops loving or supporting you. Nor have the people around you stopped loving you, even if you’ve made terrible mistakes . . . after all, we’re all guilty of this at times.

Your Divine Healers surround you, holding you in affection and unconditional love as you struggle to regain your self-esteem. They ask you to remember that being here on Earth is like being in a classroom—you’re here to progress, and you’ll make many mistakes along the way. That’s part of your learning process and necessary for your growth.

Your Divine Healers ask you to open your heart and forgive your mistakes—there’s no mistake too great nor any error so grave that it can’t be forgiven. Pray for them to help you rise above your self-criticism and reenter the flow of the Universe. Make an effort to see yourself with the same love that they see you with. Stop judging yourself. Make amends and apologies where necessary, and move on. Their message to you: “Live and learn.”

Whether because of a sudden change of circumstance or long-held patterns of lack, you may find yourself feeling overly concerned about your finances and security right now. You might be worrying that there won’t be enough to meet your needs, so you’re trying to conserve every penny. Your fears may even cause you to unconsciously seek others to reassure you or guarantee your needs in some way. The trouble with allowing these fears to take over is that your insecurity will be felt by others and they will step back, fearful of being “used” for your security, creating a cycle of even more deprivation. This circle of fear and lack dries up the “well of prosperity” even further.

Happily, your Prosperity Guides are here to help you reverse this vibration. They inform you that hoarding or withholding in any way goes against the Divine flow of the Universe, and it’s the opposite of what’s called for to create prosperity. The Universal laws of prosperity state that we receive what we give: The Universe does not lack; lack only exists in our minds. The true source of poverty is an indication that we’ve disconnected from our Divine Source, which causes low self-esteem. This is the true source of lack in any area of life, whether it’s money, comfort, security, or even love.

To get back into the flow of things, your Prosperity Guides urge you to reconnect to the Source by being generous in all ways. Any stingy tendencies, even with yourself, only keep you cut off from Divine supply. Reclaim your self-esteem by recognizing that you’re a trust-fund baby of the Universe— your needs will be met easily if you open your heart to receiving the Universe’s gifts. Connect to this flow by sharing what you can: a smile, a compliment, your assistance, your time. Your Prosperity Guides’ message: “Tap into the abundance of the Universe by sharing your heart.”

Does everything inside you rebel against authority, making you want to scream, “You can’t control me!”? If so, it’s true. No one can control you unless you agree to it. The fact that you don’t allow others to control you anymore is a sign of progress. It means that you’re moving away from a world of dependency and are claiming your personal authority as a self-directed, conscious soul ready to take responsibility for yourself.

Challenging the authority figures in your life is a necessary step in your growth. However, you must realize that not everyone or everything in your path is necessarily working against you. Ask your Warrior Guides for the courage to challenge what oppresses you and for the wisdom to know when to respect authority. Your Warrior Guides’ message: “Stand up for what’s important to you, and ask for it. However, don’t fight for its own sake. Respect the leadership and rights of others as well.”
