If you live in a country that doesn’t celebrate Thanksgiving, then I say Happy Gratitude Day to you! 

The guides nudged me to dictate a Thanksgiving message for all of you.  Before I tune in to the guides, I want to share a link to their previous Thanksgiving messages because the teachings are still incredibly timely today.  In particular, they asked me to highlight this one:  How to Make a Quantum Leap by Being Grateful For Self

Seraphim, my angelic guides, have a message for us about how gratitude opens you up to higher guidance. In keeping with the convention of our blog, the text in italics below is the directly channeled message as I hear it in my head, verbatim.

SeraphimWe want to talk to you all today about Gratitude.  Why is gratitude important?  Precisely because it is an accelerator of energies.  When you are grateful for someone’s demise, what is called schadenfreude on your plane, it accelerates negative karma. When you are grateful for self for existing, it accelerates your ascension.  When you are grateful for a teacher in your life through a situation you do not prefer, you accelerate your healing.  We know it is difficult for you humans to understand that being grateful for that prolonged asthma attack, such as the one the channel is experiencing now, will accelerate the healing of that asthma attack. Why?  Precisely because if it is happening, there is some higher good to it.  In the case of the channel, it is a facilitator of the elevation of her clairaudience into claircognizance.  She will understand soon enough why this is, but the point we are making is, when you are grateful for something in your life, you accelerate its purpose in your life.  

Now, what we want to speak of is how to use gratitude to accelerate opening up to higher guidance.  Today, ask for a sign from your guides.  You can ask for any sign.  If you should go for a walk today, if you should eat that second helping of cake, or even if you should make a major career change in your life.  It does not matter what you ask, what matters is that you are grateful for the sign that is brought.  For in being grateful for the sign that is brought to you by your guides, you accelerate and deepen your connection. In essence, this is one way to open up.  

So, it follows that if you wish guidance to look like this or like that before you are grateful, then you are not doing yourself a favor.  Imagine this, a friend brings you coffee, and you roll your eyes that it isn’t a latte.  Then, the next time, a friend brings you some sneakers and scoff that it isn’t Jordan’s.  They try a third time and bring you a cookie, and you lament that they couldn’t be bothered to go to Crumbl Cookie for a proper dessert.  What do you think will happen with your relationship with that friend?  We think it will degenerate over time.  In terms of opening to higher guidance, it isn’t your relationship with your guides that get affected because we have no fragmentation, we love you always.  What gets affected is your relationship with that aspect of self that is trying their best to connect. Overtime, it will build distrust and a sense of negative expectation with that aspect and in their overthinking to please you, they will have difficulty becoming an accurate channel.  

It follows that everyone starts somewhere, including or we would say, especially the channel given how much fragmentation she healed to be able to do what she does. Honor who you are.  Honor where you are starting.  Yes, today, the channel dictating this message is a direct voice channel, but before that she wrote pages and pages in a journal through automatic writing and, in essence, learned to trust what came.  Every channel must learn to trust themselves and honor themselves at the level of connection they are at.  

We will end this message with another story.  Imagine you are new graduate, and you got your very first office job as an assistant to an assistant of a fashion designer. You excitedly tell your friend, and they say, “You went to college to be an assistant to an assistant?”  To which you stammer a reply, but ultimately you feel shamed by the student loans you took out to be an assistant to an assistant.  Now, it’s the next day, and you tell another friend you got a new office job as an assistant to an assistant of a fashion designer.  And they are supportive, but there is a bit of pity there when they respond, “It’s a great start!”  Now, it’s day 3, and you see yet another friend and you tell them you finally landed a job as an assistant to an assistant to a fashion designer to which they excitedly reply, “Oh my gosh, who is it?!?!”  When you mention the name, she proceeds to look up the designer and begin discussing with you all the things you’ll learn, all the things you’ll be exposed to, and all the ways in which being in this world will accelerate your own design potential.  In that conversation, you begin to see yourself in your biggest possibility in this role.  Do you know what the difference is in the three friends?  It is levels of soul fragmentation that allows levels of gratitude in. 

The moral of the story we want you to get is twofold.  The first is that being grateful for whatever happens in your life, good or bad, accelerates you to a place of seeing yourself for your biggest possibility.  The second is that when someone doubts you or you doubt yourself, simply see them in love and see them for the fragmentation they carry and help them see themselves for their biggest possibility by being grateful for encountering the fragmentation.  We have said it once and we will say it again.  We are not asking you to invite into your life relationships that do not serve your highest good, however, everyone has fragmentation and could use your grace once in a while.  What we are saying is that, when you see someone in love, you see them beyond the hurt they are inflicting and you can then proceed to be grateful for the interaction allowing you to catapult yourself to your biggest possibility.   

We will end this message by saying, if the three friends are all aspects of you, which friend are you to yourself?  Hmmm, keep this in mind this holiday season. 

We are with you when you call.  We are with you when you ask for support.  So, call us this holiday season to bring you more gratitude in your life. And, so it is. 

 Happy Thanksgiving to all!
