This was such a beautiful day of unconditional love, light, laughter, communicating with Spirit and healing. Throughout this day we had the opportunity to meet new friends and connect with souls of like-minds and energies in a safe and loving environment.  Many friends, many SDJ tribe and my classmates from SDJ courses and retreats were there.  It was a reunion of love, healing, connection, support and collaboration.

The intention Sunny set for "World Angel Day" was  to give us the opportunity to open up and allow us to heal on all levels: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. Healing takes place on many different levels, and through this workshop l discovered my areas that are still in need of healing. I  left feeling empowered,  knowing the steps to take to continue to forgive and heal my tender heart. She taught me some  new tools and direction to continue the healing process I am so committed to.

Throughout this interactive workshop she  gave us  the opportunity to see ourself through the eyes of the Angels … as a Spirit: perfect, whole and complete! The first exercise was a sacred one.  My partner Diane and I sat knee to knee and gazed into eachother's eyes.  It is a deep exercise where you must be vulnerable and trust your partner.  She is an older lady with the most sparkling eyes I have ever seen.  I loved that she was older than me.  For me it was a sign, that I am on the right path.  I know my soul is eternal and I know I am healing and that my physical body and my soul have contracted to stick around in earth school a little longer.  The eyes are the window to the soul and with this exercise I felt the love of who I really am.  Thank you Diane.

Sunny then guided us  through  another exercise, this time with Archangel Zadkiel and the power and healing quality of forgiveness.  She taught us how to invoke him and then with another partner, sitting knee to knee again, we closed our eyes and listening to Kris Voelker singing to us. It was a song on forgiveness and always touches my heart.  Thank you Dena.  I loved having you for a partner for this.  I felt safe and loved.  

Our purpose here on earth is to give and receive unconditional love. This was a day of learning to consciously open myself up to receive the love that I long and so  deserve and to share more of  it with those around you.
I certainly felt the love from my partner Kendra in the "infinity breath" exercise.   Lt. hands on each others hearts and right hands held together and breathing in and out in an infinity breath was one of the most sacred moments of my life.  Thank you dear Kendra.  I love you.

Exercises such connecting with deceased loved ones, with Sunny are sacred, spiritual and connecting. My partner and I both wanted to bring through our grandmothers. Looking deep into each others eyes and meditating in this safe environment allowed me to feel and be with my grandma and I felt my grandpa too. We shared many tears.  Thank you Manny for this experience I will never ever forget.  Thank you for the gift.  Thank you for trusting me, and thank you Sunny for the gift of being an amazing teacher that I am learning so much with.

These exercises  helped me to connect with the passion and unconditional love that I do have deep within me!  I know I am love.  I know I am on the right path. I know I have the right teachers.  I know I have been deposited gifts.  I know I am meant to serve.  I know I am valuable and I know I am worthy, beautiful and forgiven.  I am the light of the world and I am meant to shine.   No more hiding.  I am stepping into who I am.  God created me and He deposited gifts deep within me that are being uncovered and I love me and all of you.  

This entire weekend was a blessing. This is my gratitude list:  Thank you Debbie for allowing me to stay with you at Casa Labinski.  I love your mermaid suite.  Thank you for taking me in to your sacred circle of friends with Suzy and the ladies.  I loved working on our Leonie biz workbooks.  Thank you to the soul pac who I had dinner with Sunday night and to Kendra for driving us in her fun car- her beamer.  Thank you to Tara and Anna for an amazing  Monday morning.  I love Haven by Anna and I am now so inspired to create another space for Heal with Giuliana Melo.   Thank you Susan for picking me up and taking me to the airport.  Being MBS classmates and soul sisters and having shared our ' breath of life' with the 'one red paperclip' assignment in MBS has connected us now for eternity.  Thank you Tara for creating the amazing Mother Mary necklace for me.  Thank you Marci for creating the most beautiful Raphael spray!!
Thank you Sunny for allowing me to volunteer and feel a part of your team.  God has indeed blessed me.  And thank you to my sweet husband and son who are so supportive of my adventures to heal and grow.  As I type this I am so grateful to Creator for these people in my life, and I have tears streaming down my face.  
I also met people who I have the honour of sharing space in online groups and classes and got to hug in person.  
Life really is beautiful when you choose to see the beauty. Gratitude truly does usher in all our blessings.  
Sunny taught us so very much.  We learned there is medicine in the pain of those messy parts of life.  Through pain comes great growth. You don't grow when you are comfortable.  She affirmed that vulnerability is the new strength.  Having an open heart and sharing with others allows those others to show up authentic too.  We talked about the term selfish and learned that selfish people truly teach us how to be more like them!  and that when we get upset with them, it is because we do for others and our giving and receiving is out of whack, so we get upset because we do too much.  She said to learn the value of the lesson with everything and to balance our giving and receiving.
She reminded me to focus on what I desire and want to manifest.  She said to continue to live in a high vibration of love, light and joy.
Of course she talked a lot about the Angels.  It was angel day after all. 
With Archangel Michael we learned about protection, courage and strength and to invoke him to help us maintain our energy from a high vibration standpoint and NOT from fear.
Archangel Chamuel reminded us to love ourself.  We are love and so loved.
Archangel Raphael is the healing energy and we can invite healing into our lives.
Archangel Zadkiel is the forgiveness angel and with his help we can forgive ourself and all others.
Archangel Jophiel is the angel of beauty, creativity and art.  This angel helps us create a magical life.  And helps us manifest all our dreams, desires and wishes.

​I love this teacher.  I love this tribe.  I love my life.  I love every bit of everything I have walked through because I have had the gift of vision and awareness brought to me through this teacher.

Today, I can feel so much collective energy!  I have never experienced this on this level before.  It is something new to me because I am in tune with my body more than ever now.  Being a feeler is a blessing, however I must be very mindful not to absorb energy that is not mine.  Today I am grounding with Mother Earth and I am connecting to Source.  I know what it is, so I am being lead by my spirit today.  I am quieting my mind.  I am breathing.  

I wrote this short piece.  Enjoy it.

When we quiet our mind, we can hear God, Goddesses, and the angels speaking with us.  This is the pure voice of love that is for us and born in our hearts. It is the trustworthy guidance our human seeks.
Be lead by love, compassion, faith and forgiveness.  Trust in the process of life.  Know all is well.  You are spirit embodied with a connection stronger than steel!   Remember you were born to do this!! ( Joan of Arc)

​

During these times of frenetic energy, you have Divine support. You have your God spark in you.  You are not weak.  God, the Goddesses and millions of angels are here for you now.  All you have to do is talk to them and ask them for support and ground to mother earth.  Joan of Arc teaches us to lay down our armour and our old ways of fighting! She encourages us to send love, light and unity to all.  When you feel your ego or that of those around you, ask her to help you shift your perspective and action into forgiveness and holding a space of loving transformation for that soul.  This doesn't mean you agree with them, it means you can send love and remain neutral thereby staying centred, healthy and peaceful.  Peace is what we all strive for.  Peace begins with each of us. 

Affirm:  I am not afraid of fear.  I embrace it and I will expand my aura to the energy of infinity, becoming one with these lower energies while standing firmly in my intuitive leadership abilities.

A simple grounding exercise is this. Place feet flat on floor.  Breathe in deeply.

 Connect with:

1. 5 things you see around you right now
2. 4 things you can feel
3. 3 things you can hear
4. 2 items to smell that soothe you
5. 1 thing to taste 

Grounding helps you ease any anxiety and fear.  Take time to focus.   
Affirm:  All is well.  I am safe.  Picture God's white light all around you.  He's got you. He loves you.  Thank Him for the love and support He provides.

I have made an intention to move my body more in 2017.  I actually have been moving it more and more in gentle ways.  This body of mine resists it though. It is an interesting process.  Being in medical menopause, since the hysterectomy that rid my body of the cancer in 2011, I have had an interesting journey.  The body is such an important part of my mind, body, spirit wellness.  I feel better after I have done some exercise.  I love to walk.  
These are some of the best reasons to exercise. 

1. getting your heart rate up gets the blood pumping and is good for your health.
2. it boosts positive endorphins, those feel good hormones that helps keep us happy.
3. it helps your brain and memory retention and helps decrease your risk of dementia.
4. it helps give you a second wind or burst of added energy.
5. it helps us sleep better by increasing HCG or human growth hormone which is linked to sleep.
6. it has been studied that it can add years to your life.  It can help decrease heart disease, high blood pressure, obesity, and lowers cholesterol.

You see, I have many reasons to GET ACTIVE.  I daily run up and down my stairs, I walk outside as often as I can, and at least once a week I do weights for my arms.  It's a start.  I can't wait to get healthier.  When I look at where I was 5 years ago and where I am today, I am proud of my progress. I know it is progress and not perfection.  I know and recognize I am not able to do what others can, but I love myself enough to just move this beautiful container God gave me.  It houses my soul and I know if I don't take good care of it, where would my soul live?
I am so happy and grateful for the second chance at life.  I love myself.  Even at this weight.  I am valuable and I am worthy!! and so are you.
So here's to movement.  I love you all!!!

Today in Sunny Dawn Johnston's 44 day mind, body, spirit detox the topic is releasing FEAR.  I am always working on releasing fear.  I trust God.  I trust that He is guiding me.  I trust that the angels will help me with everything. If you want to release fear, a tool is to write any worries, concerns, or desires on a piece of paper that you put into a special container called a GODBOX as a way of letting go and allowing Divine help into your life.  Life is a series of lessons.  We are not alone.  We have Divine Help. As I learn and grow and walk my journey, I certainly see and feel the difference in my life with Divine support.  Let go of the fear!!

My angels guide me what to write and when.  Today is my archangel Gabriel day.  What that means is that on thursdays I invoke him to help me.  Archangel Gabriel is the messenger angel.  He helps with writing.
His color is white and the gem to work with him is clear quartz.
I felt very guided to share just what a difference having daily gratitude has made in my life.

The definition of gratitude is "being thankful" and also appreciation. 
My teacher taught me appreciation appreciates.

The steps to practice gratitude are:

• get a journal dedicated to this 
• BE- be present, be mindful, see your life through the eyes of God
• flip the negatives to positive
• find the value in all experiences
• try not to complain, gossip or be critical
• smile
• speak with love and act loving in thoughts words and deeds
• be kind and do random acts of kindness.  doing this puts things into perspective and makes us aware of what we have.  when we are jelous we are counting someone else's blessings. Gratitude ushers in more to be grateful for, strengthens our interpersonal relationships, improves our health by reducing stress and increases our happiness. The benefits of living a grateful life include:

1. feeling good and relaxed
2. kinder and more social
3. less ego and more optimistic and spiritual
4. less sickness 
5. improved sleep
6. increased energy
7. tend to achieve more and have increased productivity
8. gratitude makes us happy and so people like us and are attracted to us in personal and business relationships..... positivity breeds more things to be positive about
9. when we feel good, we look good and that strengthens us mind, body and spirit

Gratitude has been a key to my wellness and it can help you too.  It is a positive emotion.  Changing your thoughts can and will change your life.  It is proven that people who practice gratitude feel less pain, go to the docs less often and are stronger mentally.

Below you will see photos of a gratitude jar and what I used.  Every day I wrote something down that I was grateful for and then on January 1 I opened it and went through all my 2016 blessings. I cried in appreciation for all my abundance and blessings.  You can see the video on my bizpage at www.facebook.com/healwithgiulianamelo

It is said that the strongest prayer is THANK YOU GOD. If it is the only one you ever say.... it is enough.  God bless you. Thank you God for everything.
