Hello Everyone, happy fall. Here in Calgary we got a cold front over the weekend and so it was the perfect time to have a nice bowl of soup. Luckily for me, my sister-in-law Judi created this yummy soup for us. She allowed me to share her recipe. It is so yummy. Soup is good for you. It helps warm you from the inside. Soup is a wonderful cool weather lunch or start for your dinner. It goes so well with a nice hunk of bread! yum. Here is Judi's recipe for Butternut squash soup. 2 large squash ( cut lengthwise) sprinkle with cinnamon 4 tbsp olive oil 1/2 tsp chili flakes 2 tbsp fresh ginger 6 cloves garlic minced 1 tbsp sea-salt 8 cups veggie stock 2 tbsp of maple syrup 1 cup coconut milk place squash in pans that have been sprayed with non stick spray. Rub squash with oil and sprinkle with cinnamon. Bake covered with foil for 45 minutes to an hour. In stockpot, over medium heat, sauté onions in oil for 5 minutes. Add chili flakes and sauté for five minutes. Add ginger, garlic and salt and sauce for 2 minutes. Cool squash and scoop it out and add to stock pot. Add the 8 cups of veggie stock and simmer for 15 minutes. Add maple syrup. Blend until nice and smooth. Add coconut milk after it has simmered for a bit. Return to pot and warm. This is freezer safe. This is a great time for soup. Archangel Raphael says to consume as much soup as you can as it is good for you. He is the archangel of healing. If you want to harness a $30 reading before they disappear please message me. In the new year all readings except for the one cards, will be $50. Thank you. I would love to read your comments below. Love Giuliana Prayers- for the last few days I have been strongly guided to share about prayer. I believe that prayers are the answer to everything. Prayers change things. Prayer changes EVERYTHING! I have personally experienced prayers in my life. I believe in prayer with my entire BE-ing. I know how safe I have felt knowing that my mom, friends and family were praying for me. During the darkest times of my life, it has been my belief in God and prayer that has allowed me to get up from the depths of darkness and despair and believe in hope and Grace and TRUST. I do Trust God. I have faith that he has my back and that His Holy Angels are watching over me.
Prayers ask the Divine for support. There is no prayer that is wrong and there is no such thing as doing it wrong. Talking to the Divine is always listened to and answered always come. The thing is this, the answers often don't come in the way you expect. In fact, we are taught to surrender control and the how to God and the angels. They know our highest and greatest good. The will provide the answers. It is up to us to stay awake and in tune to our intuition and signs that they send so that we are then motivated to take inspired action to bring in the answers to our prayers. We are also taught to watch for the helpers. Being open to receive is a big part of answered prayers. IF you keep your arms closed and aren't willing to have others help, then how do you expect the help to arrive> Prayer is an invocation (asking for help) that seeks to activate and cultivate a relationship with God. Prayer seeks to develop a relationship with an object of worship through deliberate communication. It is an intercession directed to God, Goddess, Angels, Saints and loved ones in spirit. It is a spiritual communion with God. I was born and raised Catholic. I still consider myself a Catholic, although staunch religious folk would consider me a BAD Christian. I do not believe that for one second!! I believe that God loves me and I believe in myself and my own intuition to connect to God each day and that I am being guided by the Holy Spirit in my life. I have sat with God so many times and asked for His love and guidance and each time I feel His loving energy around me and supporting me to do the work I do. I call it work, however I know it is my soul mission. I do prayers as my Act of Service to God. I always pray when someone asks me and when I am called upon to pray. When I was sick and crying out to God, WHY ME? I heard in my head ( and no I am not mentally ill.. lol) "Why not you Giuliana?" I said " Ok God, if why not me, then I need help!! I need so much help to heal and I need teachers to help me! " I began to awaken my intuition and I began to follow my signs. These signs took me to Sedona, Phoenix, Toronto, Vancouver, Banff, Lake Louise and right here at home too. I found teachers and that saying, when the student is ready, the teachers appear is so so true. I love each and every one of my teachers. They have helped me dig deep. Sometimes it has been so incredibly hard, however with prayer I keep getting through it with Grace and ease. I know that Divine Grace is flowing always and in all ways. I want to be carried in Grace and experience my lessons gently, so I continue to pray. In the Catholic church, we have 5 types of prayers. 1. Prayers of adoration and blessing 2. Prayers of contrition and repentance 3. Prayers of thanksgiving and gratitude 4. Prayer of supplication, petition and intercession 5. Prayers of confession. Prayer is talking to God with your hands. As children in catechism we were taught to establish prayer as a habit and for me it has stuck with me to this day. God wants us to know Him. God answers our prayers. God loves us and we in turn love God through prayer. To learn how to pray: T A L K to God.
CONFESS means to get the junk out of your life. It is when you ask for forgiveness and know that you are forgiven. It is saying, "I am sorry!" READ means to read the bible which helps us see ourselves as a mirror. It helps us understand who we are and who God is. ASK is to ask for help. It is said, ask and thee shall receive. Also in Mathew 21:22 it says that, "If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer." Pray for others, pray for yourself and ask for God to provide for you and others. Ask for wisdom and patience and understanding and compassion. THANKS - it is said if the only prayer you ever say is THANK YOU and it is enough. Be grateful for your life. You will receive more to be grateful for. Some people have asked me "Giuliana, how do we start to pray?" and this easy FIVE FINGER PRAYER is a very easy way to remember how and what to pray for.
God says that there are five main areas of a pray filled life. He says that we must have trust and faith in Him and we must forgive ourselves and others, we must be compassionate and we must strive to be unconditionally loving as He is. He wants us to get to know His son Jesus and The Mother of Jesus, Mother Mary. He says that the Holy angels will never hurt us or lead us astray. When we pray, we are talking to God and spending time getting to know Him. God wants us to pray and spend time with Him. When should you pray? ANY time. ANY where and especially at meal times at is blesses the food going into your body and changes the vibration of it so that it nourishes you in supernatural ways. Why do we pray? to Get to know God and ask for help. Pray freely and speak from your heart! Where do we pray? EVERYWHERE!!! what & how do we pray? The Lord's prayer is a perfect place to start!!! Here it is for reference: Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is heaven, Give us this day our daily bread: and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil, AMEN. We bring our hands together at heart centre and bow our heads slightly to connect us to our hearts and our breath. This prayer mudra ( sanskrit word for hand gesture) connects our physical self to God energy or Universal life force energy. Prayer centres you and aligns you with the Universe. This is also called a heart seal. When you place your hands in front of your heart, you powerfully connect both the left and right sides of the brain. When you do this and combine it with the word NAMASTE it is symbolic of the coming together the divine masculine and divine feminine powers. As we close this prayer blog, I want to leave you with this fact: PRAYERS ARE ALWAYS ANSWERED in the HIGHEST and GREATEST good. and NOT in the way you THINK. You job is to be Love, Light and experience great joy as you experience this journey we call LIFE. At this time I would love to invite you to my mentor and teacher Sunny Dawn Johnston's next THRIVE presents: Angel day 2020. I will be closing the event with an angel prayer.

I would love it if you read it.. thank you www.thegreatcanadianwoman.ca/my-difficult-but-wonderful-healing-journey/?fbclid=IwAR0hXPrKB2byK2f_hA9mNP_r2GxoDwU4CAfQChhwNNqq23vkBcavZq5czII This weekend we did a thing. - Giuliana Giuliano Melo
This weekend my family and I embarked on a journey. This journey included clearing out years of “stuff” You see, even though we are clean & tidy - after I got sick, our storage began to be the “catch all” space for our “stuff”. For a year I have been “feeling” the call to purge. However, due to having 6 hernias, I couldn’t do it alone. I needed the help of my hubby and son. This past Thursday night we started going through the stuff and releasing all that no longer served us. 12 years of junk. Because of Covid you can’t donate much as it needs to be sanitized! So much “stuff”. Old clothes, magazines, ornaments, papers, toys, furniture and junk!!! I feel 10 pounds lighter. So do the boys. We are now open to receiving new clean energy. It took a lot of work. And we did it!!! Today’s angel advice validated the journey. Good morning. A powerful inner and outer renewal is occurring in your life. Purification is happening at many levels. Take your life to the next level by clutter clearing. Release situations and people that don’t empower you. Space clear your environment and eat lightly. In order for renewal to occur the old needs to make way for the new. The universe wants you to know: Sometimes it’s difficult for exciting experiences to come into your life if your auric field or your personal space is cluttered. There is simply no room for something new. When you purify your life, you create the space for new opportunities to come flooding in. If you have a sense that your auric field, your living space or your body have become cluttered or things, this is the time to do some inner and outer clearing. Questions to ask yourself: Is there anything I need to purify or clear in my life? Is there anything that needs to be renewed or re-examined in my life? How can purification let me become a clearer channel for myself and others? Do yourself a favour. Clean & clear your spaces. It is interesting what you learn about each other when you embark on this! It is a sacred event. Out with the old. In with the new!!!

I am grateful for my belief in God and the Holy angels to help me. I am grateful that Jesus exists and because of Him, I am forgiven. I am grateful for my journey for I would have never found my strength.
This year has been so incredibly difficult. Covid-19 and a son who has special needs and is having extreme growth, is pushing me to my limits. I sometimes feel that I am holding my breath. I miss my in person yoga. I miss my in person clients and in person gatherings. I am tired. Exhausted actually. However, each day I awake and give God thanks for another day of life. I am grateful for my blessings in spite of all this growth. I am continuing to breathe out fear and breathe in love. I am filled with the light of God and I am filled with the peace of the Holy Spirit even when I don't feel it. It is my truth. I have always been a grateful girl. However, after my journey through healing from cancer, it became a part of my daily practice. I know how important gratitude is and I have written about it before. Gratitude is a very important part of our journey here on earth. God wants us grateful. When we are grateful we open ourselves up to more to be grateful for. If we are not grateful for what we already have, then how can we be grateful for more? God doesn't want us in ego. He wants us to sit in our heart space and count our blessings. Be grateful for everything. Gratitude is the quality of being thankful. It is appreciation. Appreciation appreciates. It is Divine magic. The more you say thank you! Thank you ... thank you... the more God puts in your life to be grateful for. Try it. Create a gratitude journal or jar. It is never too late. Begin today. To help you on your gratitude journey, here are 8 ways to have more gratitude in your daily life.
Gratitude helps in these areas: ~ shields negativity as gratitude is a high vibration ~ rewires the brain to enhance peace of mind. ~ helps eliminate stress ~ heals you on a cellular level ~ improves self-esteem ~ can improve relationships ~ better sleep Some things to do to realize the benefits of gratitude are:
This is the message from Our Guardian Angels today: The angels want to remind us the importance of the words THANK YOU. These words are the seeds in which health, peace and manifestations of dreams, wishes and desires grow. Saying, thinking and writing the words THANK YOU increases the vibration, that is the energy and ignites the law of attraction. They guide us to create a practice and to express it each day. In fact they say the more the better! Speak the words loudly or silently as often as you feel guided. Remember that appreciation appreciates, so go out and appreciate much! Affirm: Today, I appreciate all my blessings! I express how thankful I am for my life, home, and my journey. thank you God for everything. Amen and so it is. I would love to hear from you! Do you have a gratitude practice? If you would like to schedule a one of a kind angel session with me, please email me juliemelo@icloud.com Even though my readings are $30 half hour and $50 hour, if this is a hardship, please discuss pay what you can. Thank you. God and Angel blessings, in appreciation and gratitude to you!! Love, Giuliana xo My whole life headaches have plagued me. Whenever I am stressed, overloaded, unable to cope etc. I get headaches. I get many types of headaches. Chinook winds headaches, stress headaches, cluster headaches, hormone headaches, if there is a headache, this girl gets them.
One day I was introduced to a wonderful teacher. Her name is Inna Segal. She wrote the book " The Secret Language of Your Body". This book opens our awareness on the emotions behind a symptom, disease, ailment and illness. It is a guide to restoring our body to its best state. Inna Segal offers insight into the underlying illness and provides advice which empowers many to heal and move energy out of the body. Today I want to share what she teaches about migraines. This is what she offers: Migraine- control, pressure, seriousness, perfectionism. Overcommitting yourself. Great need for love and approval. Ignoring your own needs. Putting other people before you. Extreme guilt and anxiety. Conflict with self and other people. Self-punishment. Feeling angry and annoyed with others. Saying, "you are giving me a headache." I resonated with almost everything that she offers. I have been told that I must control my son more. I am feeling extreme pressure. I am a taurean and I am very serious. I am a perfectionist. I do have a lot of responsibility on me. I do want to be seen and loved. Because of covid-19, I have been isolating and not seeing my friends and clients in person. I do tend to put others needs before my own. I am dealing with anger and do feel guilty. So yesterday, I had a mentoring call with my SDJ, that is Sunny Dawn Johnston. She guided me to move the anger out of my body. She said to move it by doing exercise, writing and burning, punching a pillow, journalling, crying etc. So I am doing that by sharing today. I am committed in helping myself move it out of the body. Monday I also had a massage and most likely will go do a salt cave later. Inna also guides us to release unhealthy emotions that may be causing the symptoms by identifying the unhealthy emotion and then releasing them. For this blog, I will share what she says about anger. She shares that anger often comes from righteousness, fear or judgment that arises when people feel they have been wronged or haven't gotten what they want. That fits for me. I feel so angry right now. All the issues I am walking through with my son have me seeing red! Anger, she says, gives people a false sense of power, making them feel they want to criticize, put down or hate or resent others. I have been feeling so much resentment. Some of it is old, some of it is new. Anger is also a catalyst for change and transformation that can fuel passion, excitement and enthusiasm. If something in your life is not working, this anger is then an opportunity for you to free yourself from your ailment, such as depression, powerlessness and feeling overwhelmed. I have been feeling all of it! Anger can drain life force and energy! Long term anger is never good and can make you feel fatigued, frail, unhappy and worn out. Unresolved anger can lead to hypertension, inflammation, psoriasis, sinusitis, tumours, cancers, PMS, pneumonia, ulcers and more. To release anger, put your hands on the part of your body where you feel it and breathe into the area. Ask God and your angels to pour white light into the area and dissolve any of the fear, pain, anger, shame, guilt etc. Do this repeatedly until you feel a shift. This is a process and is not just done once. If you are feeling guided to purchase the book, you can do so on amazon. www.amazon.ca/Secret-Language-Your-Body-Essential/dp/1582702608 My mentor, Sunny Dawn Johnston is having her next THRIVE event in July and Inna Segal is a guest!! you might want to get your ticket here: sunnydawnjohnston.com/events/thrive-july/ There are so many ways to help yourself. I hope that you know you do not have to suffer. Our body is always talking to us and our job is to tune in and listen to what it is saying. If you are interested in having a chat with me, or if you want to have your own personal angel card message, please email me to book at juliemelo@icloud.com __________________________________________ Some of the essential oils that I use are: (always use with a carrier oil):
What is smudging? It is a universal practice and sacred ancient ritual of clearing and blessing spaces that is known among all religions throughout the world. Buddhist temples use incense sticks, catholic churches use frankincense, People of Indigenous backgrounds use sage and other herbs. Smudging your home is a very powerful way to clear stagnant energy to make way for clear, fresh energy to come in.
I love clearing and blessing my home. Today I used a powerful resin, (dried sap) copal, to clear and bless my home. Resins have long been known to be sacred and blessed. You may feel a sense of connection to God and a sense of well-being when using them. Copal is used for cleansing. Frankincense is known as it is one of the gifts given to Jesus at his birth. It is collected from trees belonging to the Boswella genus. It is said to also have anxiety decreasing properties. Amber is known to awaken the soul and balance your home and bodies energies. Some other resins you can use are dragon's blood (rattan palm tree), pinion pine, myrrh (also given to Jesus at his birth), and benzoin. Depending on which you feel guided to use and for what purpose, your home will feel much better and lighter. Popular substances to help are: Palo Santo-also known as holy wood - used to clear Sage-used to bless, cleanse Sweetgrass- known for attracting new energy cedar- protection, cleansing and protection. How to smudge?? Get a safe container such as a shell, clay pot, steel bowl etc, to collect burning ashes from your smudge item. Light it and create a smoke. Fan out the flames. It is the smoke that clears and blesses the space. Open your doors and windows to allow old energy to leave the area. Walk around your space and spread the smoke to where it is needed. You can clear the whole house or just one area. Start at the front door and go clockwise or how you feel guided. There is no wrong way to do it. As the smoke rises, our wishes and desires are sent to heaven. The smoke transmutes the negative energies back to love. You may extinguish the the smudge stick in a bowl of sand or put it out with a little bit of water. In the case or palo santo it goes out on its own and needs to be relit often. When you have gone around the entire home, say a final prayer of gratitude to God and your Divine Team for helping you clear the space. Envision the sun filling the house with tons of white light. The ritual is now complete. You can also clear your own or other person's energy in this way. As with all smudging please take care when performing as to not create fires or burn people or objects. It is a very sacred practice that when you practice and are consistent with, you will create a home and personal energy that is very high vibration. When I am going to smudge, I get everything ready and I set aside time and space to clear my area, my home, my body, my family. I invite in God, Archangel Michael, my guardian angels and guides to help me. Then I believe it is done. It is as simple as that. I also have prayers that I say: This is a powerful one from our book 365 Days of Angel Prayers that is available on www.sunnydawnjohnston.com I am available to help guide you to energetically clean and clear your space. I am doing them for a donation. You can do it but if you want me to do it, please ask. I can also clear a space remotely with prayers, reiki symbols and intention. So much love to all of you. Now booking june and july readings. juliemelo@icloud.com Giuliana xo |
