Hello my friend,
I wanted to take a few moments to share some love as we get ready to usher in the new year!!  2020 has been a year of great focus on disease and un-wellness.  You have the power to focus on health.  I hope that you will join me in this intention.  I promise to show up each day and keep us focussed on all things positive. I hope that when you look back on 2020 you can find something to be grateful for, something that you learned and I hope that you can think of something to be excited about in 2021.  
I want to close the energy of 2020 with a prayer from my heart to all of you.

2020 Closing Prayer
Dear God, Universe, Source, Creator,
Grandmother's and Grandfather's, angels, 
guides and ancestors,
I thank you for all the great experiences I had in spite of Covid-19.
I thank you for all my success, joy, vitality, growth, and all my lessons learned.
Thank you for never leaving my side as I released old memories, pain, hurt and disappointments.
Thank you for helping me forgive myself and others.  I ask to be cleared from all trauma in order to set my soul and my spirit free.  Please God help me release negative karma.  I want to fully connect to the NOW.
At this moment, I prepare myself to welcome an even better 2021.  I am ready to level up. BECOME and receive.
Thank you for everything.  Amen and so it is.

I am sending you all wishes of love, light, health, joy and abundance.
Love 
Giuliana

Happy Monday Everyone.
I wanted to connect today to share some information that I just learned.
Did you know that the chopping down of a tree represents the death of Jesus and putting it back up represents the resurrection of Christ?  
Did you know that the wreaths we hang are never ending circles that represent eternity and the symbol of life?  
Did you now that candy canes were made to look like shepherd hooks and the colours red, Jesus blood, and the white is a symbol of purity?  
The gifts are a representation of the three gifts the wise men brought for Jesus, gold, frankincense and myrrh.  
So when you are running around wanting to get the perfect gift for someone, stop and take a deep breath.  Remember that you have been given the greatest gift ever.  Jesus was given to us to remove all our sins... Merry Christmas.

Christmas is NOT CANCELLED.
No gatherings in Alberta means just that.  Christmas is not cancelled!  Christmas is acknowledging the light in your life.  How you choose to do that is up to YOU!.  Christmas will come and will be whatever you choose to make of it.  Cherish those you live with and build new traditions together.  Reach out to friends and family via zoom and video.  Call a friend.  Gatherings are cancelled.  Not Christmas.  Make this one the most magical one yet.  I believe in magic.  Do you?
Make your favourite food.  Turn on all your lights.  Watch mass online.  Call your family and friends.  Prepare a beautiful table.  Drink your fave drink.  Watch a funny Christmas movie.  The spirit is in YOU my friends.
Christmas isn't where you are at.  It is who you are with.  Whether that is in person or not.
I wish you an amazing Christmas.

​Hello Everyone.  Today celebrates the belief in the Immaculate conception of the Virgin Mary.  December 8, 2020. It is one of the most important feasts that we Catholics and Protestants celebrate worldwide. WE honour the Blessed Virgin Mary .  The feast reads
 “O God, mercifully hear the supplication of thy servants who are assembled together on the Conception of the Virgin Mother of God, may at her intercession be delivered by Thee from dangers which beset us.”
Mother Mary is one of the most beloved Saints.  She is the Mother of Jesus, Queen of Heaven, Queen of the Angels and Supreme Goddess.  I love her with my whole heart.  
Today she offers up some guidance.
It is:
To remember that you are a blessing to the world.
She says that she is with you day and night. She sends you great waves of love. She sees you as the Divine light that you are.  You have many gifts to offer the world and she wants you to share them.  She says to fill up your own heart and then give without obligation.  Everyone benefits from your presence on this planet.  You are love and you radiate love.  You are a true blessing to this world and your existence at this time is very much appreciated.
She wants you to affirm:  I am a blessing to this world.  I bring great blessings to the world and my self.

​I would love to hear your comments below. 

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.

1. Take the time - create space in your day for this sacred time
2. Ahhhhh- quiet - make the space quiet
3. Learn from God's word.  If you read the bible, then read a verse a day.
4. Keep a prayer plan- Write down praises, prayer requests and verses that mean a lot to you.

PRAISE is saying what you love about someone.  It is saying, "God I love you!! I love the playground of earth that you made for us. etc"
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.

• Thumb - pray for people who are close to you.  Close friends and family.  Give thanks to God and ask his protection for all.
• Pointer - prayer for people who point the way, these are leaders/teachers in your life. Tell God thank you for them and ask Him to help them with their work.
• Tall finger - pray for people in authority, the LEADERS in the world need so much prayer right now.  Ask God to grant them wisdom, especially for the government, military and police and healthcare
• Ring finger - people who are weak, we need to remember those who are sick, in poverty, or who are maltreated.  Prayers that Jesus gives them strength.
• Little finger - for YOU!!  God wants to hear your needs dear child.  You are so very loved and cherished.  He wants you to pray for your growth in mind, body, spirit and soul.

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 thank Sunny so so much for allowing me to be her prayer facilitator on her page Angels & Affirmations on facebook.  She has been instrumental in my coming out live each week.  If I can pray for you please email me at healwithgiulianamelo@gmail.com and please consider joining us at Angel Day online!!!  If I can be of service with an angel card session message me. 
I am praying for you!! God bless you!  Prayers are so very needed as so many people are feeling alone and lonely and scared.  Don't be scared, be mindful and take good care of yourself.  God's got you!!!
Love,
​Giuliana Melo
