“Pausing to Reflect”

March 2012

I greet you in Love and Light.

This is Archangel Zadkiel with a message from the Divine Light.

It is indeed a pleasure to be with you today, for you are making rapid progress on your path of progression.  You are making leaps and bounds in your progress, and you have much great potential ahead of you.

Today we wish to talk with you about the benefit of taking a pause to reflect on where you are.  Doing this will allow you to assess lessons you have learned, to see from where you have progressed, and to make decisions about your next step or your next direction.  It is very beneficial to do this at different points along your path because it gives you an opportunity to be sure that you are progressing in the direction that you feel is right for you.

Many of the ancient masters did this on their paths.  They would either go into the wilderness, or they would go into caves, or they would go into some type of garden.  They would often go away for many days because in those times the ones that were progressing at the most rapid rate needed to have total seclusion in which to have their assessments take place.

You will know what is right for you as to what setting you need for your assessment.  It may be a few quiet minutes just by yourself, or it may be a longer block of time such as an entire afternoon or a day or even a couple of days.  Whatever feels right for you and resonates in your heart will be the appropriate way for you to conduct your assessment.  As you conduct your assessment, you will know what needs to happen because you will feel a resonance within your own Being.

It is wise to plan regularly for these types of assessments or retreats.  You may wish to time them to naturally occurring periods such as an equinox, a solstice, a holiday time, or after you have had an unusually large event to occur.  This allows you to regroup your resources within yourself and to be certain that you are headed in the direction that you would like to be.

As you conduct your retreat, look at where you have come.  This is the time to rejoice and celebrate what you have accomplished and changes that you have made.  You can look back and see within yourself what lessons you have learned and how you have put them into practice.  You will often be surprised at just how rapid your progress has been and how many lessons you have learned along the way.  You will see how you have benefitted others by your lessons, and you will also see how others have helped you along the way.  This will help you to see how there is an unbroken chain up through the levels and dimensions and that you are a very important link in the chain of progression for all concerned.

As you are assessing your progress and preparing to move forward, think about what you would like to accomplish.  If there are areas on which you would to work, you can also think about that.  There are many times along the path when we have choices we can make.  It may be that each choice is a good choice.  However, there will usually be one choice that will resonate more closely with you than the others for that particular moment.  It does not mean that you will abandon all other possibilities.  It just means that for the moment you will be working on the choice that you select.

In these times of rapidly moving energy, you may find it helpful to focus on one main area at a time, and let other areas be secondary.  When you place your focus on one main area, this gives you a chance to make great accomplishments in that particular area.  Other areas can be added, and if they are in support of the main area, this is even more helpful, for everything will be moving forward in a very harmonious manner, and many items of synchronicity will occur.  When you are very clear about your focus of moving forward, then this allows many of us in the realms to come forward to assist you.  You will be putting out an energetic signature and an energetic focus based on the choices you are making and the direction in which you are moving.

It is much easier to do this and be clear about your focus of moving forward when you take these periodic retreats or time outs because it allows you to assess and be clear about the direction in which you are moving.  You can be sure that you are moving in the direction that you have chosen for yourself and not in a direction that someone else has chosen for you.  It is very important in these times to be inner directed about the choices you are making, for in this way you can be sure that you are working on your particular mission and that you are making the greatest strides possible in your own development.  As you do this, you will be able to move higher and higher and farther and farther.

You may find that in your times of retreat that many ideas will come to you.  Once you have set your focus for what you wish to do, then you will get additional ideas on moving forward with them.  After your major retreat time is over, then in your daily meditation times we will also come to work with you to give you additional pointers and ideas to go along with your major retreat time.  When doing this, we will be bringing the ideas in many ways.  It may be something that you will see on television, a book that you will see, a billboard that you will see, or we may just place an idea in your mind and you will say that you just happened to have this idea pop into your mind.  Know that this is when we are working with you because we are always there to give you nudges and prompts along the way.

We wish that more of you would take advantage of this great technique, for this is the way in which great progress is made.  A huge idea may come to you all at once, but more often you will get insights all along the way.  Then, when the huge idea comes, you will recognize it more easily because you have trained your mind and your heart to recognize the ideas when they come.

When an idea comes into your mind, place the idea in your heart and see how it feels.  If it resonates with you, then you will know it is an idea that will help you along your path.  If it does not resonate with you in your heart, then you may set that idea aside and let it sit for a future time.  You may wish to write it down, and then at a later time it may be of benefit to you to use in your daily practice, or it may be an idea for a future project.  However, the important thing is always to check out an idea within your own heart center.  In this way you can be sure it is something that is right for you at that particular moment.  Many ideas are good, but timing is always of the essence.  If you feel the nudge to move forward at that time, then you know within your heart that it is correct for that particular moment.

We will be coming to you with many ideas and prompts.  However, remember that the beginning for all of this is to stay centered in your heart and to remember to take your retreat times whether they be brief or whether they be longer and to do this at regular intervals.  This will help you to come out of these times feeling refreshed and ready to move forward with whatever idea emerges or to continue on your current path.

We will be coming to work with you during these times as we work with you on an ongoing basis.  There will be many of us who will be coming to work with you, and we always rejoice when you call on us and allow us to work with you on your manifestations.

Know that you are greatly loved in the Light.
