Hello, and welcome to season five of Miriam's Meditations. A sincere and heartfelt thank you to all of you for listening and downloading over the summer while I took a hiatus from creating new episodes. It was very good for me to take a pause. I did a lot of thinking about the podcast, and we have some very special new things that we're going to be doing in the new season that I hope you'll enjoy very much. I'm very grateful for your comments and support over the summer and for downloading and staying with the community and your practice. Good for you! Some new things that we are going to be doing in our new season five--I'm going to be offering some shorter episodes intermixed with our regular breathing and meditation practice, which will continue very much the same as it has been with our breathing pranayama and the guided meditations. I got a lot of good feedback about the shorter episodes that I have offered with instruction and information about breath, about spirituality, about meditation, so I'm going to be interspersing our regular practice with some of those shorter episodes. Another thing that I'd like to do this season is invite some guests onto the show. Some of those programs will take the format of an interview or a conversation, which I'm really looking forward to sharing with you some of the fascinating and, interesting, and very wise beings in my spiritual circle in hopes that that will provide some inspiration for you. One of the other ways that I've invited guests to share in the podcast is to do an episode. And that's what I have for you this week. My dear friend, Maggie Kalas of Soul Light Coaching, is going to share with us a soul chat. That is part of her practice where she uses her card decks, her divination and inspiration card decks to share some light and focus about what's going on with us in the world, what's going on, and what's coming toward us in the future. So I hope you will really enjoy Maggie's episode that she has prepared for us. And I'm going to just let Maggie take it away from here. Have a beautiful day. And I'll see you next week with our regular breath and meditation class. Namaste.

Hello, dear friends in light. This is Maggie Kalas of Soul Light Coaching. I am so grateful to Miriam's Meditations for inviting me to join her inspiring meditation podcasts. Miriam and I have come into each other's lives through spirit. And have maintained a beautiful angelic connection for many years. We share a mutual passion and calling to open ourselves to higher states of being as well as uplifting everyone who comes in our path. Speaking of which, I'd like to lift you all today with an inspired nugget from the angelic realm. I've been guided to do soul requests, which are little nudges for the collective from the soul level of things they would like you to pay attention to. And today, they made a wonderful reading; I have drawn the star. And the star energy is the archangel Jophiel, which is an optimistic, brighter outlook energy. I think this is a wonderful message during some crazy times. We must maintain that type of positive optimism, looking for the future in a way of possibilities, seeing beyond the mundane and seeing the good, seeing the beauty, and seeing positive change. And doing it with a feeling of hopefulness and some excitement, a little fervor, you know that we could be moving into happier times. It doesn't necessarily mean it's going to be the worst of times. It could be the best of times. And it starts with each of us. And the soul wants you to know, expect only your highest good. That is the message: to expect only the highest good. And it begins with you at a soul level. And to release yourself from the limitations that kept you from moving there. The way you step into positive change is you have to let go of things that you've been doing that haven't really been working and to see what your true purpose is: is to maintain your light, to trust and follow your intuition. The card I had to complement this was from the universal angels, and it's Freedom. Okay, the word freedom, which represents a huge shift in energy, we're being given an opportunity now to be able to free ourselves from the limitations we've had before. The reason why we see this shift in the world is that we're moving towards something better. I always have this: if it's not working here, something better is down the road. And we are here, doing that right now, shifting the frequency, and it's in motion. And once that is shifted into motion, collectively, there'll be a series of reactions. Breathe into your instrument, just like you would breathe into a wind instrument. And it brings out wonderful harmonics; you're going to breathe into your body. Because it begins on a physical level. It's not just out there in woo-woo, energy-land; we are vibration, and we are embodying this frequency, this new level of frequency that we're able to hold. So we're beginning to be free of the obstacles and stepping through new doors. Not having the constrictions. Not having the fear as the obstacle. Stepping through in faith, feeling the freedom, feeling the enthusiasm that gets us to the freedom, and whatever is feeling like it's holding you back, still. Just put it down; let it go. Allow yourself. Allow yourself to choose yourself to be free, and then ride the wave; that motion that is coming about. And the next complimentary card is fire. Fire, along with freedom, is like that's that spark. That's that wonderful call to action, getting you all revved up to move the energy in your favor, letting the spark guide you, not the fear, and maintaining a balance in your burning desire. You say, "I want this, I want that." You know, maybe it's not what you think. But maybe it's what your soul is telling you: expect your highest good, and your highest good will come. You don't have to figure it all out. But you do have to hold the frequency to receive it. And you have to say, "yes, yes," as you're maintaining your balance, you're shining your light, you're saying, "I can imagine the future being bright." And at the same time, that fire can be purifying you, clearing you away from stuff that has been holding you back--in the mind, in your body, and in your spirit, and in your soul. I mean, at the soul level, we have to clear the debris so that we can learn not necessarily through all the pain and sorrow, but maybe we're learning now through unity, through harmony, through joy. We have to give that an opportunity now. That's what the collective is saying. Expect only your highest good. And take action constructively. Express yourself constructively. Be kind, be patient. The next wonderful, wonderful card to compliment is Magic. The magic! We're in a time of alchemy, and alchemy is like, literally, that's the magic, taking something--the lemons into lemonade. Whatever we're doing is we're taking something that may not work, and we're turning it into something that does work. So, we need to see the magic. We need to see the possibilities. It's an unlimited platform here when we step into expecting only our highest good. What does that mean? It's beyond what we would do for ourselves. But the soul, the Divine, would do so much more. These are inter-dimensional, multi-dimensional energies that are all working, rearranging in our favor as we allow. This can be a wonderful, enchanting adventure. Not where it has to be a drudgery in the world. High vibration requires pure intentions. That's the spark! Maintain your innocence, your joy, your curiosity, spark the magic, and just remember there's always more than meets the eye out there. Like if you don't see it doesn't mean it's not there. You've got to look beyond the known into the unknown and truly expect only your highest good. Thank you, dear friends, for being here to receive today's soul request. I am truly grateful to Miriam's Meditations for bringing us together. Awakening to our Divine nature can sometimes be an unsettling transition. You don't have to go the journey alone. I'd love to be your guide. Connect with me for a complimentary soul chat. This is Maggie Kalas at SoulLightCoach.com. See the light, Be the love.
