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.”

Although no one likes to admit it, we all have our dark sides and shadows—those less-than-flattering facets of our personality that take delight in abusing and shaming others and wielding power in the most unfair ways. Whether it’s the condescending remark to the slow-moving grocery bagger at the supermarket, the aggressive hand gesture directed toward the meandering driver on the road, or the belittling comment made to your uncooperative child, many of us are guilty of hurting or deriding others at times.

Your Divine Healers are present now to help you witness your shadow, lovingly making you aware that it’s actually contempt for yourself and your vulnerability that fuels such hostility toward others. These gentle but powerful higher forces surround you in love and urge you to accept and embrace your weaker aspects, rather than harshly rejecting yourself by attacking those aspects in others.

Ease up, and be more tolerant of yourself. If you do so, these shadows will give way to light and healing. Your Divine Healers’ message: “Ask for help and accept our light.”

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.”
