Learning to Trust the Signs
Progress is inevitable when we make the decision to take on a new path in our spirituality. Sometimes, things change in our lives very quickly; there will be moments when you feel a lull, at a stand-still, a void. We begin to question whether or not we are on the right path.
When I look back, I realize I already saw and knew things even when I was a child, yet I was unable to comprehend that at the time. I received signs at such a young age and I was able to teach myself things, but immaturity and lack of confidence prevented me from realizing this. In fact, I haven’t realized until recently that I have been receiving so many signs!
I know now that every single step I take is calculated by my Higher Self and I have come to notice the signs as soon as they show up for the most part. The challenge is trusting that you see the signs, or believing it. One important recent realization for me was reading something that showed me where I was to go next on my path. A year ago, I would have been incapable of this, because I never would have thought it was possible to accomplish something like what I was “shown.”
I recently read a beautiful blog about a healing facilitator who connected with sea turtles and I was fascinated! She explained the messages she received from the animal, and it was quite unexpected. The sea turtle gave her a distinct message about a human malady we are currently experiencing and why it is happening. A morning soon thereafter, while sitting on my magic couch, I suddenly got pulled into my dog’s energy. I was not surprised, because this happens often, but this time it was different. I realized that the information I was getting was for canines and their role on earth and I got a message! The message was that we need to “GO TO THE HEART.” I heard it loud and clear! I was shown a series of things concerning canines, what they are going through, and how it is helping humanity; I was just blown away! I realized also that I had gotten a sign by reading that amazing blog a few days prior and it was a “heads-up” as to what was coming for me! I just loooooove when that happens!
Our Higher Self is always there and can drop us a line when we least expect it. You could receive a word, a scent, or a symbol in a dream, etc. For many of us who are Trinity Energy Progression™ Practitioners or Facilitators, we saw number sequences in the threes before we even heard of Trinity Energy Progression. I also had a visit from a certain “Ezekiel” a year before I decided to look up that name and found out it was Archangel Ezekiel, the Archangel of Transformation! It was an amazing sign that I ignored and forgot about for a year and somehow my Higher Self led me back to the book where I wrote that name down. I found myself waking up regularly at 2am, wide awake, and that got me on the couch, onto my computer to do research in the still of the night and decided to look up Ezekiel which led me to Angela and here I am writing this message now two years later! Needless to say, my life transformed in unimaginable ways over the past two years… Yours will, too!
Signs are there all the time. We just need to be alert to receive them!

The Power Behind Fun & Freedom
Did you ever think that spirituality could be FUN?? Meaning really fun and really exciting?? Well, it certainly can be; and I am here as living proof to tell you how. I used to be a very rigid person; and I always followed the rulebook. I created boxes around every experience I came into contact with, which became a way of life for me. I would only allow myself to carry out what “I had to do” in life–work , chores, and family/community obligations. I wouldn’t allow myself to have any fun because I always felt I didn’t have enough time for it; and that it simply wasn’t important. I couldn’t see outside of these boxes to save my life. I was VERY comfortable with this way of being. In my mind, it kept me “safe” and predictable….and feeling worthy and loved.
Just a few years ago, I had a huge spiritual awakening during which I became fascinated by what I was learning. I was guided to look deeper and to see that there is more to life than my seemingly safe, predictable boxes. I began to see that life really COULD be fun and that’s what life is really all about .. enjoying life and having fun with whatever I am experiencing.
As I cleared away my limiting beliefs with Trinity Energy Progression™— starting with my beliefs around having to feel safe, as well as around having to feel loved and worthy by following the rules and by DOING things for others all of the time. I discovered a new way to be. I allowed myself to look at what truly makes my heart sing and I discovered that it was DANCING. Yet, I hadn’t allowed myself to dance. Why not? My negative self-talk talked me out of it; yet none of those excuses came from divine truth. After several clearings with Trinity Energy Progression, I became free and I allowed myself to explore the possibilities of dance again. I decided to venture out by getting involved in a big community service project. I learned a popular dance routine, rounded up some people, taught them the routine, and then we performed it in front of a live audience. Talk about exhilarating and fun!!! I felt so connected to Creator each time I danced to the music– even though it wasn’t a spiritual song. At first I wondered how that was possible; but I just trusted and followed the flow …. and the flow said to “Keep On Dancing.” It was so exciting and FUN to reconnect with dance in this way!!! Furthermore, I was connecting with my higher self each time I did it and it became a spiritual experience. It helped me to move stuck energy and I was letting go. I allowed myself a new sense of freedom.
Soon after, I took the next step and signed up for Zumba classes. I found that I LOVED this dance style SO much ….and a year later I became a Zumba instructor. I LOVED to teach and to share my joy with others! In Zumba, it’s all about the fun and excitement and connecting with the music, not the perfection of the steps. It’s a big dance PARTY and it’s so liberating! Every time I taught a class, I felt a huge energetic shift and a release of negative energy. Sometimes I couldn’t get myself to meditate or sit in a silent space, but I could get myself to dance any day of the week. Dance IS a form of meditation, by the way. Movement is an extraordinary way to allow the freedom inside to blossom. It’s an expression of self… of creativity and flow. I went with the flow, and the freedom I felt was immeasurable. The movement was magical.
Ahhhh….how refreshing to know that it’s OKAY to have fun and freedom in my life, as well as to know that it was all part of my spiritual development. I once believed that spirituality had to be daunting and boring; but I cleared out those beliefs. I’m still dancing and I still use dance to connect to my higher self. I also combine Trinity Energy Progression with dancing to get healing energy in the room. It’s simply divine. I have endless ideas flowing through me in my next steps of dance evolution and the healing arts…. and it all started by making the decision to NOT to stay stuck and to STOP denying myself the FUN and FREEDOM of dance.
This is called transcendence. We are here for the party and it’s time to “Dance Away!!” But dance is not the only way to move stuck energy through fun and freedom. Laughter and humor are also powerful ways. Watch a funny movie, tell jokes, go to a comedy show, read a funny story. Share the humor with a friend and now you’ve really got an amusing snowball rolling….and it will be hard to stop it. Laughter in a group is even more powerful because you will feed off of each other; and you will keep laughing and laughing in a space that feels timeless. You can stay in a high vibrational state for hours after the laughter stops.
Fun can come in a lot of different packages. Don’t put expectations around how it has to look in order for it to be a spiritual experience. It can be transformational no matter how you define it. If you feel stuck and can’t move beyond the blockage… if you feel like it’s difficult to slow down enough to get into a quiet space….if you can’t get the mind chatter out of the way enough to meditate….try an exciting adventure. Break out and be FREE! Be open-minded and embrace new experiences. Discover your inner child of joy and wonder….anything that will raise YOUR vibration. There are endless ways to do this and the key is to ALLOW yourself to enjoy it …. to get the full experience from it; and to be grateful for it. You can catapult forward in amazing ways and you’ll have endless opportunities for releasing and clearing. Now that you have the gist of how liberating FUN and FREEDOM can be, go out there and get it! Move your way to energetic freedom. Find your inner child….as this is the MAGIC of everyday living. Don’t say no, just GO!!

Shadow Work
Shadow work is a process of delving deep into ourselves to examine aspects of our being, at which we often refuse
to look. For some this can be a scary process; it does not have to be. Approaching the shadow-self is best done with an open heart so that one can accept and love everything that is experienced during such a meditation. The shadow-self is often referred to as our “inner demons” or our “sins” which is judgment from our egos. We learn to suppress exploring our shadow-selves because of fear of what we might learn about ourselves. This fear has been instilled into us as a way to control our hearts and to slow our realization that we are perfect beings that are capable of unconditional love and acceptance. We judge others because we judge ourselves. If we can fully accept and love ourselves for everything that we have ever done past, present, and future, then we are capable of doing the same for others. This is natural because the idea that we are separate from others is pure illusion.
While the shadow work process requires full honesty and openness without judgment, we may still hear our egos tell us how horrible we are for doing such terrible things, but the pain and judgment coming from our egos is just that: from our egos. What I like to do is turn up the light using Trinity Energy Progression™ and provide comfort and support for the ego and not get caught up in the ego’s rant as my own. The ego will fight hard, but it is not our enemy. It is a part of us whether or not we agree with it. It has its needs, and we can give it what it needs by consciously recognizing it for what it is.
There is no one correct way to meditate on the shadow-self. One may wish to purify the meditation space with any familiar method. There are a number of guided meditations available online if one does not know where to begin. I personally set an intention as a Trinity Practitioner to be shown an aspect of my shadow-self that needs healing. During some sessions I use a Mindfold® mask, which is a blindfold that blocks out all light while allowing the eyes to freely open. I find that sight deprivation helps me in meditating deeply within and experiencing void space; but it is not necessary. The key is love and to accept oneself no matter what one sees, hears, feels, or comes to know.
After shadow work meditation, some of us may process the experience and feelings in various ways. We may allow ourselves to feel the pain of everyone involved to help transmute the egoic guilt of past transgressions, while processing our own attachments to the situation. We may also come out of our meditation in full bliss and acceptance without any attachment. Although the latter is ideal; however we do it, it does not matter. We get the job done, and there is no judgment.
The shadow work isn’t limited to meditations that are directed to reveal the shadow aspects. After one is done with the meditation, being conscious of one’s thoughts throughout the day is important. One’s subconscious will present opportunities for discovering shadow aspects. They are often reactions or thought patterns that are unwanted or sometimes seem out of character. If one does not remain conscious and stay in the present moment, one may feel guilt, repress them, and eventually act out on them. Staying conscious in the Now, one can recognize them for what they are, and identify from where they come. This can allow further self-reflection at that moment or during a meditation if they are deeper issues.
During the shadow work, one can discover the entanglement of the ego and shadow-self; they are essential one in the same. Because they are a part of us, we must love and accept these facets of our whole selves. This healing is vital to our becoming whole.
