Dear Ones, if something that once felt good starts to feel uncomfortable, it is a sure sign change is coming. This is a good thing! If you always felt comfortable you would never change, and your soul is always wishing to grow and expand. The discomfort makes it much easier for you to embrace the change once it appears. You might consider it a phase of preparation.

If you are vacating a space of service, this is also wonderful, for it makes space for the new phase of souls who are awakening and ready to step into their service. And you, too, will move forward into serving in new ways that match who you have evolved into, and will bring you joy.

This is all part of the natural dance of evolution – the seeds of new ideas and offerings, the phase of satisfying service, and then the readying to move on yet again. There will always be someone ready, willing, and excited to fill any void you have left, and ways for you to express yourself anew in your beingness and next highest way of being of service when the time is right. ~Archangel Gabriel through Shelley Young

The energetic shifts you have gone through over the past several years have left you completely transformed. You are different than you were five years ago, two years ago, a year ago. Because of the changes you have gone through – the purging, healing, and integration processes – what is an energetic match to you now may be very different than what was a match to you before.

This explains why certain things that you used to enjoy may not feel as good to you anymore. As you step more and more into your authentic power and seek to create a life that is much more in line with who you really are, it is so important to take the time to really examine your feelings about things. More than that, it is important to not make yourself be wrong if something doesn’t feel as good to you as it once did.

As ever evolving beings, your awareness about what is in resonance with you or not is imperative to creating a life that is satisfying to you. Many of you have been conditioned to choose one thing and stick to it throughout your lifetime. Just as many of your child’s interests change as they grow, so will yours.

You would not expect them to stick to one interest if it simply was not a match anymore, nor should you expect that of yourself. In higher vibrating energies you will be drawn to express yourself in many different ways depending upon what the energies are supporting and what you have evolved into resonance with. That is a sure sign of growth and we encourage you to embrace exploring what that means to you.

On this holy day when so many of you are celebrating your holidays, an influx of Christed energy always occurs. This energetic infusion holds the energy of peace, unconditional love, and divine connection.

So many of you are so busy during this day it is easy to miss the magic of such beautiful energy, so we urge you to create a still point for yourselves, even if it is just a moment, to acknowledge and receive this divine gift that is fully available for each and every one of you to bask in and experience.

Always know when you celebrate any aspect of Source energy, we in turn celebrate you in a never-ending upward spiral of mutual love and admiration that supports the expansion of all, for you are an equally divine and important part of All That Is. ~Archangel Gabriel through Shelley Young

Dear Ones, your holidays can magnify ways that you are out of balance with your giving or receiving. So we say to you, give with your whole heart. Receive with your whole heart. Make your giving a pure expression of self with no expectations, and allow others to give to you in the same way. Any gift or gesture, no matter how small, if given from the heart, is divinely infused.

If you start to feel overwhelmed or resentful, it is a sure indicator that you have gone in a direction that is more than what you are comfortable with. Re-adjust back into a better space of balance, or, if you decide to keep on going the same way understand that from that point forward it is your choice not your obligation. By doing so, your giving will always feel good and you will become a safe person to receive from, and that is exactly what will keep the joy and appreciation in your holiday season. ~Archangel Gabriel through Shelley Young

Dear Ones, as you experience the longest night of your winter solstice, we invite you to stop and feel the power and comfort of the cycles that naturally occur on your planet that you are all a part of. After a period of darkness there will always come light. After a flow there will be an ebb. Each phase serves a profound purpose supporting expansion and integration.

For many of you this year has been particularly intense. Many of you are ready to emerge from your own personal dark nights of the soul and begin moving back into the light. For each phase you go through, you experience more of your own vastness and connection, and from there can move forward again, with greater wisdom and new intentions in your next greatest expression of self.

So celebrate! Celebrate your emergence once again! Embrace the gifts that have come from the phase that is wrapping up and look forward with your new levels clarity and wisdom that have been attained and are now energetically locked in since your last solstice. There is great sense of empowerment here for you if you can see how profoundly connected you are to it all, for you are supporting the earth through your evolution, just as the planets are supporting you in a cosmic dance of becoming and creation. ~Archangel Gabriel through Shelley Young
