Today's Inspiration:
By Giuliana Melo
How Gratitude helped me heal my life
It was august 2011, I was diagnosed with stage three peritoneal cancer. I was angry and I was scared. After the initial shock wore off and after two major abdominal surgeries and six chemotherapy sessions, I knew something had to change in my life.
That is when I learned that gratitude would help me shift my perception of the journey I was walking. I knew a gratitude practice was how the Divine was guiding me to heal.
As I began to count things to be grateful for, I began to feel better. I was healing mind, body and spirit. Life began to hold more meaning. I was happy. Life is a series of lessons to learn, grow, heal and expand your soul. I knew this cancer was a pivotal part of my earth’s lessons. I was grateful for more life. I began to say THANK YOU every morning. It is said if the only prayer you ever say is THANK YOU it is enough. The Divine loves when we are grateful and we get more to be grateful for.
Gratitude turns what we have into enough. It boosts emotional wellbeing and helps you by enhancing your body with feel good endorphins. Gratitude is the best attitude to have. Begin your practice simply with a new journal or a jar devoted just to being grateful to things that happen in your day. You know that saying? ‘every day may not be good, but there is good in every day!” I believe it.
Here are some ways to bring more positivity into your life:

1.  Smile often
2.  Add love when you cook
3.  Forgive
4.  Spend time with loved ones
5.  Pet your animal
6.  Bless your life, food, water
7.  Pray or meditate daily

Gratitude truly is a door to blessings. Try it. You will be grateful that you did.

Ask yourself these questions:
How has gratitude helped you to heal any area of your life?
Can you infuse gratitude into any area that may feel stuck or blocked in your life today? 

I can help you with a gratitude practice.  I can help guide you in initiating it and supporting your journey.
Please reach out if you are interested in forming a gratitude mentoring relationship.

Love & Gratitude
Giuliana

2020 is a year of VISION.
As I have learned to heal my life, I learned to live a more intentional year and to throw NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS out. Most times all resolutions did were serve to show me where I had no willpower. 
Intentions instead, taught me that I could have the growth I seek.

Choosing your WORD OF THE YEAR guides your year and tells the UNIVERSE to support you. Energy flows where your attention goes. Your soul then guides you and you experience the magic and mystery of the journey of life.
I have been using words of the year since 2015
they have been:
2015 Grace.
2016 Future, Courage & More
2017 Expansion & Confidence
2018 Abundance, Integrate, Respond & Boundaries
2019 Joy, Journey, Travel and Power.
2020 words came right on time. They are GROW ADAPT TRANSFORM ( heal and blessings)
If I can help you discern your word of the year, please reach out to me. These readings are $30.  You will receive your word from the angels.
Words come from the Divine and are for your highest good.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`

Year in Advance SUPPORT READINGS are $100 - minimum 12 cards and whole year guidance, direction, support, motivation. Angel cards for the whole year! I always find it so intersting what comes through and how each words guides the year.  Sometimes you get it and sometimes it takes all year to understand why a certain word came through.

Fairchild, Mary. "What Does the Bible Say About Angels?" Learn Religions, Jun. 11, 2019, learnreligions.com/what-does-the-bible-say-about-angels-701965.
 
35 Fascinating Facts About Angels in the Bible
Angels are mentioned 273 times in the Bible. Although we won't look at every instance, this study will offer a comprehensive look at what the Bible says about these fascinating creatures.
 
1 - Angels were created by God.
In the second chapter of the Bible, we are told that God created the heavens and the earth, and everything in them. The Bible indicates that angels were created at the same time the earth was formed, even before human life was created.
 
Thus the heavens and the earth, and all the host of them, were finished. (Genesis 2:1, NKJV) 
For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. (Colossians 1:16, NIV)
 
 
2 - Angels were created to live for eternity.
Scripture tells us that angels do not experience death.
 
...nor can they die anymore, for they are equal to the angels and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection. (Luke 20:36, NKJV)
Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around, even under his wings. Day and night they never stop saying: "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come." (Revelation 4:8, NIV)
 
3 - Angels were present when God created the world.
When God created the foundations of the earth, the angels had already been in existence.
 
Then the LORD answered Job out of the storm. He said: "...Where were you when I laid the earth's foundation? ...while the morning stars sang together and all the angels shouted for joy?" (Job 38:1-7, NIV)
 
4 - Angels do not marry.
In heaven, men and women will be like the angels, who do not marry or reproduce.
 
At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven. (Matthew 22:30, NIV)
 
5 - Angels are wise and intelligent.
Angels can discern good and evil and give insight and understanding.
 
Your maidservant said, ‘The word of my lord the king will now be comforting; for as the angel of God, so is my lord the king in discerning good and evil. And may the LORD your God be with you.’ (2 Samuel 14:17, NKJV)
He instructed me and said to me, "Daniel, I have now come to give you insight and understanding." (Daniel 9:22, NIV)
 
6 - Angels take an interest in the affairs of men.
Angels have been and will forever be involved and interested in what is happening in the lives of human beings.
 
"Now I have come to explain to you what will happen to your people in the future, for the vision concerns a time yet to come." (Daniel 10:14, NIV)
"Likewise, I say to you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents." (Luke 15:10, NKJV)
 
7 - Angels are faster than men.
Angels seem to have the ability to fly.
 
... while I was still in prayer, Gabriel, the man I had seen in the earlier vision, came to me in swift flight about the time of the evening sacrifice. (Daniel 9:21, NIV)
And I saw another angel flying through the sky, carrying the eternal Good News to proclaim to the people who belong to this world—to every nation, tribe, language, and people. (Revelation 14:6, NLT)
 
8 - Angels are spiritual beings.
As spirit beings, angels do not have true physical bodies.
 
Who makes His angels spirits, His ministers a flame of fire. (Psalm 104:4, NKJV)
 
9 - Angels are not meant to be worshiped.
Whenever angels are mistaken for God by humans and worshiped in the Bible, they are told not to do this.
 
 
 
And I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, “See that you do not do that! I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren who have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.” (Revelation 19:10, NKJV)
 
10 - Angels are subject to Christ.
Angels are Christ's servants.
 
... who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God,angels and authorities and powers having been made subject to Him. (1 Peter 3:22, NKJV)
 
11 - Angels have a will.
Angels have the ability to exercise their own will.
 
How you have fallen from heaven,
O morning star, son of the dawn!
You have been cast down to the earth,
you who once laid low the nations!
You said in your heart,
"I will ascend to heaven;
I will raise my throne
above the stars of God;
I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly,
on the utmost heights of the sacred mountain.
I will ascend above the tops of the clouds;
I will make myself like the Most High." (Isaiah 14:12-14, NIV)
And the angels who did not keep their positions of authority but abandoned their own home—these he has kept in darkness, bound with everlasting chains for judgment on the great Day. (Jude 1:6, NIV)
 
12 - Angels express emotions like joy and longing.
Angels shout for joy, feel longing, and show many emotions in the Bible.
 
... while the morning stars sang together and all the angels shouted for joy? (Job 38:7, NIV)
It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves but you, when they spoke of the things that have now been told you by those who have preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spiritsent from heaven. Even angels long to look into these things. (1 Peter 1:12, NIV)
 
13 - Angels are not omnipresent, omnipotent, or omniscient.
Angels have certain limitations. They are not all-knowing, all-powerful, and everywhere present.
 
Then he continued, "Do not be afraid, Daniel. Since the first day that you set your mind to gain understanding and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come in response to them. But the prince of the Persian kingdom resisted me twenty-one days. Then Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, because I was detained there with the king of Persia. (Daniel 10:12-13, NIV)
But even the archangel Michael, when he was disputing with the devil about the body of Moses, did not dare to bring a slanderous accusation against him, but said, "The Lord rebuke you!" (Jude 1:9, NIV)
 
14 - Angels are too numerous to count.
The Bible indicates that an incalculable number of angels exist.
 
The chariots of God are tens of thousands and thousands of thousands ... (Psalm 68:17, NIV)
But you have come to Mount Zion, to the heavenly Jerusalem, the city of the living God. You have come to thousands upon thousands of angels in joyful assembly ... (Hebrews 12:22, NIV)
 
15 - Most angels remained faithful to God.
While some angels rebelled against God, the vast majority stayed faithful to him.
 
Then I looked and heard the voice of many angels, numbering thousands upon thousands, and ten thousand times ten thousand. They encircled the throne and the living creatures and the elders. In a loud voice they sang: "Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise!" (Revelation 5:11-12, NIV)
 
16 - Three angels have names in the Bible.
Only three angels are mentioned by name in the canonical booksof the Bible: Gabriel, Michael, and the fallen angel Lucifer, or Satan.
Daniel 8:16
Luke 1:19
Luke 1:26
 
17 - Only one angel in the Bible is called an Archangel.
Michael is the only angel to be called an archangel in the Bible. He is described as "one of the chief princes," so it is possible that there are other archangels, but we cannot be sure. The word "archangel" comes from the Greek word "archangelos" meaning "a chief angel." It refers to an angel ranked highest or in charge of other angels.
Daniel 10:13
Daniel 12:1

Embracing the Body- Body Acceptance and Appreciation as I learned from Sunny Dawn Johnston, my amazing mentor, teacher.  You can find her at www.sunnydawnjohnston.com
 
Today, let’s discuss the mind, body, spirit connection of the physical body.  How does the mind affect the body?  What happens with your spirit and how can you get into alignment so that you are honouring all aspects of your self.
 
We are spiritual beings in a physical body. The body is our temple.  When we ignore the signs or symptoms the body is giving us we manifest dis-ease in the body.    My belief and experience is that when we push emotions down and we don’t honour our self, when we feel emotions and we don’t acknowledge pain, anger, frustration or sadness then this energy is held and lives in the body. I learned this the hard way, by manifesting stage three peritoneal cancer. Anger, sadness, rage and pain manifest as diseases such as cancer when we do not release in a healthy manner.  I now believe when we are in alignment we won’t get sick or experience disease. When we are out of alignment that is when we are worn down, our immunity is low and so we can pick up bacterial infections and viruses.  A healthy body does not manifest disease.
 
I have learned to listen to my body.  When I get a sore throat, I know that I need to speak up.  I listened to when my knees are sore and I  learned that meant I was feeling out of control. So now when my body speaks to me I listen and do the emotional work behind the symptoms.  I ask myself “what messages am I receiving and what do I need to do to move this energy out?” I have a mentor who helps me when I feel stuck. Sometimes the energy is too much to move on your own.
 
A very important tool I have discovered is the Inna Segal book “ The Secret Language of Your Body.” 
 
It is a great resource to add to your library when you want to know what the emotions are behind the symptoms you are experiencing.
It is also a tool to add for your holistic or energy healing practice.
 
The mind is a powerful tool.  Replace that stinkin thinkin or monkey brain with a positive dialogue.  What is your mind saying to your body? What emotions are you eating your food with? The body listens to what the mind says. Pay attention and change your language and thoughts to gentle kind, loving words.  The body will respond. The body hears everything you think!
 
Affirmations are very important.  Say them until they feel true to you.  Some examples are:

I accept health and healing now.
I accept health into my body.  
I see myself living in perfect health. 
I am open to releasing unhealthy behaviours.
I release my body to find its perfect weight whatever it may be.
I am attracting people and information that helps me live a healthy balanced life.
Say these whenever you get time.  Use bathroom breaks to say them or write them down.  Sunny taught me to put alarms on my phone with affirmations. It works! 
 
When you change the messages in your head the body will follow.
For the spirit part of talking to your body, do a daily gratitude, thanking every part of your body for carrying you to today on this amazing journey we call life.  You have the power to heal anything you may have manifested.  
 
Ask yourself these questions.:
Has your body fought off infection?
Healed a bruise?
Run a marathon?
Experienced touch?
Created another human?
Given you pleasure?
Learned a new skill?
 
This is the time to love your body! Give your body the appreciation it deserves. That is how healing happens.  Love your body!  That is how the healing happens.  You have the power to heal your body.  You may need to learn a new tool and I certainly can help you with that through an angel card reading or mentoring call.  You can contact me at jmelo10@shaw.ca  to book.

Last year, I put me first and began my yoga journey at Joy and Vitality Centre is Quarry Park in Calgary.  I love their healing centre.  I love the teachers.  I love everything about it.  If you want to join me in a class, please contact me.
​I hope to see you there!

This week on the blog, we discuss "Giving & Receiving".  As someone who used to be a way better giver, I had to learn how to receive.  I will never forget when my mentor Sunny Dawn Johnston told me my receiver was broken.  I didn't even know what that meant.  I had to learn that the entire Universe works in cycles much like breathing...in (inhalations) and out (exhalations)!  When you only give (inhale) or only receive (exhale) you become out of rhythm. For optimum joy, vitality, health and energy, we must find the balance in our giving and receiving.

The angels say when your balance is out of whack, we must pay attention. We may feel that others are taking advantage of us and our kindness when we give too much.  If your imbalance is in receiving you may feel guilty. 
There is no perfect balance, it is harmony that the angels say to strive for.
To do this, make sure you give something away, such as money, a gift, time, compliments or other form of energy on a daily basis, without expecting anything in return.  On the same day, be a great receiver of gifts, compliments, help or other offers.  Say THANK YOU.  If you are in a relationship where you do most of the giving, then express your needs, wants and desires, and be open to receive them.

To receive we must give and vice versa.  Affirm:  I now receive my blessings with grace and ease into my life, amen and so it is.

The angels are always providing amazing advice.  If I can be of service for your angel card reading, then please contact me.  They can be done by phone, email, video and in person.  
I send you all so much love.  I would love to hear what you think of the blog.

Happy World Goddess Day!  
The Goddess is a very important part of my daily life.  Goddesses haven't always been a part of my daily spiritual routine, however, when I was healing from cancer, I had to do something different.  I knew that there were parts of me that were so wounded that if I didn't dig them up and heal them, I would continue to bleed out onto people who didn't wound me.  What that means is that I was a reactionary mess.  I needed to learn how to respond better or I would continually manifest drama in my life.

I was in my reiki level 2 class with a teacher who had the Goddess Morrigan
( Inner Knowing) and the Goddess Nemetona (Insight) canvases with us.  I fell in love with their energies.  Funny story:  I had taken photos of our event and posted them, however they weren't yet to be shared with the world and Velva Dawn graciously asked me to remove them until she launched them with the new deck. The deck is called "Awakening of the Divine Oracle Deck" by Velva Dawn Silver.  You can find it on www.velvadawn.com.

That began my journey with the Goddess.  I didn't know a lot about the Goddesses and being a God girl, I questioned whether I was crossing boundaries religiously.  I came to the conclusion that God is in all energies and that this was my journey.  I needed the help of the Goddess to heal my internal wounds.  I wanted to find that part of me that was meant to rise.

I had just walked through a very painful job situation after the stage three cancer diagnosis and treatment.  My son had also manifested epilepsy. My life the way I knew it was over!!   I was broke and broken.  The Goddess helped me find the strength to get up each day.  She forced me to rise.  I loved that I had the support of God, Goddess and angels each day.  I thanked God for illuminating my path with these Divine Feminine power houses.  Mother Mary helped me with self-love.  Isis helped me with balance, Abundantia helped me with trust, Diana helped me with manifestation, Kuan Yin helped me with compassion, Kali helped with honouring cycles of my life etc.  Each Goddess, and there are 45 in Velva's deck, helped me with a specific area in my life that I needed healing.  I continue to ask them in each day.  Even though I am an angel lady, I am a Goddess girl too!

What does the word Goddess mean to you?  Perhaps journal on that.
How do you feel right now?  If you are feeling like crap, the way I did, then perhaps it is time to RISE SISTER and take a Goddesses hand.  You can talk to me.  I will tell it to you straight.  Perhaps you want to find out more by attending our Goddess Gathering at  Joy and Vitality Centre on Sept 28th?  or Our Goddess Healing Matrix System- Higher Priestess Practitioner (TM) Shine Event on October 12?  Let me know - I can provide all the details.
I will post the links below.  Let me know.  I am happy to be of service for your angel/goddess/coaching sessions.juliemelo@icloud.com

Happy Goddess day to all!!  
Goddess Gathering first link and Shine event is the second link.

The Angels wanted me to talk about RETREATS this week.  When you are feeling tired and sleep is of no help, then your soul is longing to grow and a retreat will help.  A retreat often takes you to a sacred space where you connect to Source in nature and allow Mother Earth to carry you for a time.  
The angels say when you are tired or feeling low, they can help you prop up so that you return to your natural state of wellness, joy and vitality!  They say get out doors and into nature. Rest your eyes, breathe in the fresh air and call upon them to help you.  Archangel Raphael is ready to assist you to elevate your energy.  They remind us that this is like going to a spa and receiving a treatment!  Anytime you allow yourself to receive the love of nature you will feel your energy increase.  Tiredness and exhaustion comes from an imbalance in giving and receiving.  

Every being needs to recharge after making so many contributions to society .
Allow God, the angels, mother nature and mother earth to help you replenish and rejuvenate your soul, mind and body.

Affirm:  I will honour my body.  Relaxation is necessary.  I must rest and retreat in order to fill up with positive energy and continue on my path.
I am worthy to receive.

I am having a self-love retreat in my hometown of Fernie BC in Sept.  the dates are Sept 13, 14, 15.  It is a one day retreat where you will learn valuable tips, tools and techniques to aid your journey.  You will come away with a daily spiritual practice, you will have let go of old energy that no longer serves you and you will fill up with nature!

If you are interested the energy investment is $199.99.  This includes 2 nights in a yurt, a self love workbook and some treats. I am available to answer any questions.  Payment is via transfer to jmelo10@shaw.ca via etransfer or PayPal.

Here is the link to check it out: www.facebook.com/events/2277360405710423/

To connect with Mother Earth is as necessary as breathing.  It is vital for optimum health and vitality.  Grounding with Mother Earth allows us to release energies to the earth and also allows us to connect to her healing energy.

How to ground your self to Mother Earth
The purpose of Grounding is to connect to the earth. When you are grounded you are more calm, relaxed, patient, happy, light hearted, focused and your energy can not be drained from you. If you have too much energy flowing into you, ground that energy to earth and it will flow through you, instead of being stuck in you. 
There are many ways to do it. If you are out doors, on grass, sand, dirt or water. Take your shoes off and walk barefoot for a couple minutes . You will be grounded. Grounding means you are physically & mentally grounded to Mother Earth. 
If you are in doors: Close your eyes. Take some deep breaths, and picture your feet. See roots coming out the bottom of your feet, going down  straight into the earth ,and imagine them as deep as you can.

Make sure to GROUND each day! 

I am happy to be of service. 
Contact me for readings, coaching, mentoring, classes etc.

This week the angels guided me to provide some insight and awareness and love.   They wanted me to share this- ENJOY LOVE DAY.  Today let's dedicate to love! We angels guide you to intend that this day is all about LOVE.  We want you to honour this very important emotion.  Put your focus on caring.  Start with you!  Express your feelings to your friends and family, and act kindly toward yourself. and all others.

Experience the many ways that is quality shows itself, in all its various colours and forms.  Revel in this celebration and that you make an important role in making every day one of love.

Affirm:  I allow myself to experience love, and I easily express it to others.  I treat myself with care and notice this feeling all around me.  The more I find it, the more it finds me.

Today I will be love and I will start with me.  I hope that you take this advice from our angels and love yourself.  If I can be of service please contact me.
Angel card readings are available via phone, email, video messenger and in person.  I love you.

I am very blessed to have a mentor/spiritual advisor.  In the fall of 2017, I went to a retreat in Sedona.  After burning our masks we were invited to decide, "not one more time!"  What that means is to proclaim to ourselves that not one more time would we ( insert decision).  This means to love yourself enough to make a choice to honour you!   You deserve better than what you have been giving yourself and what you have been allowing yourself to receive!

In my 53 years of life I had never done that for myself.  I don't know if it was the amazing group of ladies, the environment, my teacher, the team of support, however something clicked in me and I said " not one more time will I allow others to treat me less than I deserve!"  My mentor's team held frongs of bamboo over us as we crossed over a creek.  As we crossed we stated our intentions. I have allowed a lot of stuff over the years.  I didn't have appropriate boundaries.  I didn't maintain or protect my energy. I used to use my voice in an unhealthy way with screaming!  I was a reactionary mess.
-  I intended not one more time would I allow anything less than I deserved and as I crossed I meant it! I decided right then and there I would no longer take abuse of any kind. I came home empowered and decided that was it! I had to release all kinds of people from my life.  I had to stop going to places that didn't nurture me, and I had to stop crying about people who didn't love me any more.  I had to do what was best for me.  It has been a process and here we are almost two years later and I am learning, growing, healing and expanding my life.  My friends are kinder and gentler and are like me.  My teachers are the best on the planet.  The communities I hang out in are supportive.  

I now recognize I am a great blessing to the world.  I now know that other people's opinion of me really doesn't matter.  What they think is about them and not about me.  I now know that God created me perfect whole and complete on a soul level and on a human level I am a work in progress.

I have an amazing blessing of being able to share this teaching in a facebook live video tomorrow at around 1230 pm MDT on the page www.facebook.com/JnVCentre/
I am also doing in-person angel card readings there. You can call the centre to book at 403 452 5183.  If you require angel card session via video messenger, phone or email, please contact me at jmelo10@shaw.ca

YOU ARE VALUABLE!  YOU DESERVE MORE!  Ask yourself what you want and then go for it!!!

I have an amazing blessing of showing up on Facebook live on the Joy and Vitality Centre page once a week.  I started the self-love corner two weeks ago. Here is their page if you would love to join us and give us a like! www.facebook.com/JnVCentre/

We started with a self-love promise and are working through learning what your power is and how to manage it.  This brings us to this week.

Nikola Tesla - a famous engineer and physicist quoted this phrase 
​“If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.” 

We are all energy.  I must admit when I first learned this, it took me some time to wrap my head around it.  I had never learned this before.  Now I absolutely believe this.  Humans are energetic beings and as such we must learn to maintain our energy.  To do that I had to learn what it meant and in simple terms it means to stay in control.  To not lose it when with others.  To respond and not react.  Believe me, I was not a great responder and sometimes my triggers get pushed.  However learning that I am energy now and recognizing that fact is helping me so very much.

This is what will help you.  Remember it is a process and to be gentle with yourself.

MAINTAINING OUR ENERGY
This means being responsible for the energy you bring to a
space.  You can do this by taking responsibility of your
thoughts¨actions and deeds.  Once I learned this¨ it has
changed my life.  I learned that I am only responsible for MY
OWN ENERGY.  I can't change¨ fix or make someone else
better.
I  was taught this simple statement " OBSERVE don't ABSORB"
Your responsiblity is to honour your own mind¨ body and spirit.
This is how you are of greatest service to the world. It is simply
about you being you.  Loving others unconditonally and helping
by being neutral and supporting but not making others problems
yours.  You still care¨ but you are not fixing.
When you observe others energy you become the witness to
others life experiences.
When you are observing you are supporting from an
empowered place.
You are only responsible for your own energetic space.
When you are absorbing energy¨ a lot of drama can occur. Most
times it comes from fear.
I ask help to maintain my energy from Archangel Michael who is the archangel of protection, security and strength.  Want to know more, please schedule an appointment with me here juliemelo@icloud.com
How do you maintain your energy?
I would love to hear from you.
