Transcript

Hi friends!

Welcome back to the Heavenly Hugs Podcast,

A podcast where I share my personal stories with the archangels so that you too can see how you're being guided by the angels.

Today I will be talking about the Archangel Hanayo,

The Angel of Joy.

What is joy really?

That's something that I question myself a lot on this journey of self-discovery,

Spirituality,

Insight,

And for a long time I had filled myself with the energy of joy that couldn't sustain itself.

And so I found that I was chasing these things and feeding myself and clothing myself and accumulating these materialistic things that temporarily brought joy into my life but couldn't really sustain.

So I bring this topic up around this time of year.

So if you're listening,

When this podcast comes out,

We are into the Christmas season.

We have a few more weeks left until Christmas.

And I noticed in this time of year,

In my practice with my clients and then with my friends and my family,

That people really want to gear themselves up for this Christmas time of year.

And so our society and the songs and the commercials and everything that's out there wants to tell us that this is a joyful time of year.

But for a lot of people,

Not all,

A lot of people,

This time of year can be really hard and difficult.

And it can be a strategy or almost a struggle to find that pathway to the essence of the holiday spirit of joy.

And the reason why I see that is as a medium and as an intuitive,

This time of year,

Leading into Thanksgiving and then going into Christmas,

A lot of people are reflecting upon their loved ones that are no longer with them,

That may be in the afterlife.

They may be reflecting on loved ones that they've lost due to like arguments or challenges or maybe people have moved away.

And it makes us think about our past.

I tend to think about those times when I was a kid.

Now I had three,

Four,

There was like cousins,

Like five or six cousins that we gathered with when we were little at my grandparents' house.

And it was a big Italian family and my aunts and uncles would get together and my grandmother had this big long dining room table.

We would all sit around and my grandfather would make this chicken soup and we'd have dinner.

And Christmas Eve's used to be,

You know,

The seven fishes and we used to go to my godparents' house.

And there was just a lot of like joy and freedom at that time.

We were so young,

You know,

We had no concept of really what was going on in the world and the challenge.

And we could truly embrace the innocence of the season.

And I find myself like reflecting upon that.

And if I'm not careful,

I can fall into that grief of that loss.

I mean,

Grandparents are no longer here.

You know,

Aunts and uncles are no longer in the same state and we just don't gather like that anymore.

So this time of year can really be difficult for people reflecting on like what holidays were,

What we wish they would be,

What we want them to be.

And so we accumulate things in order to bring that joy.

So this year,

My mother,

She fractured her fibula,

Which basically broke part of her ankle.

And I've become the caretaker for her.

And I'm reflecting upon this season because I have to say it's way too much to get a Christmas tree this year on top of taking care of her needs right now because she's not mobile and providing for myself and taking care of my business and the needs that that takes.

And I just decided that it was going to be in our best interest not to get a tree this year.

And so I hadn't really have a choice to think about,

Okay,

You know,

I could really be sad about it or I could really be,

You know,

Embracing the change,

You know,

That we're upon.

So it brought up like a lot of stuff.

And I have committed to myself to embrace joy despite those things that I used to go out and buy that would create joy.

So I have invited in the Archangel Honey Ale in this space.

So Archangel Honey Ale is the angel of joy.

And she strikes me as an angel who's strong and confident,

But yet gentle and playful.

So she's got this esteem about her,

This confidence,

This strength,

But there's also this sweetness to her.

And there's also this playfulness that she embodies.

And her color I usually see is green and white.

I'll know she's around when I see like green and white stripes or like that forest green and like white stripes.

And I know there's,

If you research her on the Internet,

There are some places where they mentioned her,

She's like bluish white.

And so,

You know,

I always ask them if I'm not sure to validate for me.

So I remember being at an angel party.

I was hosting where I would go into people's houses and offer angel readings to a group while I was there.

And I remember Archangel Honey Ale coming up for a girl that I was working with.

And I told her that I saw Archangel Honey Ale as like a forest green and white energy.

She's got like the light of forest green and white.

And I told her that,

You know,

That other people have seen her as like a bluish white.

But the forest green and the white is what I tend to see.

And she laughed and she said,

Well,

She's like,

I actually just bought pillowcases that are forest green and white striped.

So I kind of took that as a confirmation from Honey Ale to share that information.

So there really is no right or wrong.

It's what resonates with you.

So this is the color that I resonate with her.

And she is the angel of joy.

She brings us and fills us with this energy of joy and happiness that comes deep within.

And again,

You know,

It's no secret that I've struggled with depression growing up,

That I lost my grandmother at a very young age who was very much a mother figure in my life.

And,

You know,

I struggled with eating disorders and a suicide attempt.

And so there really has been this lack of joy in my life.

So when I was introduced to the Archangel Honey Ale,

I really like embraced her and really asked her to show me what joy actually was.

And for me,

Joy is being able to be anywhere at any time and really feel at peace to be happy with myself.

I remember there were times where I was single and I was trying to figure out who I was and what brought me joy and what my identity was outside the people,

Places,

Things and ideas that were no longer in my life.

And I remember somebody telling me,

Gladys,

You should go and have a meal,

You know,

With yourself.

You should go to a movie with yourself.

And I literally froze and paralyzed,

Was felt paralyzed with the idea of going somewhere with myself and my first thoughts were,

What are people going to think?

I'm a loser.

It's lonely,

You know,

All these things.

And I have to say,

So I thought,

Well,

If this is the pathway to joy and discovering myself and going within,

Then I'll try it.

So I remember that I was down in South County in Aragansett for a practice session with a new practitioner who had learned a new modality and she was looking for people to practice on.

So I drove down there to work with her.

And while I was down there and getting ready to leave,

I had this craving for George's of Galilee,

Which is a seafood restaurant in Aragansett.

And so I leave there and I go into the parking lot and I'm sitting in the restaurant parking lot and I'm looking up and it looked like the upstairs was closed.

And it's like they close it like seasonally,

The upstairs,

But the bottom of the restaurant is always opened.

And I remember looking up and thinking,

I had a plan.

It's like,

I'll just go sit at the bar and I'll have fish and chips and I'll really enjoy it.

Well,

I wasn't sure if there was a bar downstairs and I was literally frozen at the idea of sitting at a table by myself and eating and I was paralyzed.

I must have sat there for 15 minutes going back and forth trying to remember,

Is there a bar downstairs?

Is there somewhere to sit?

How am I going to feel?

What am I going to do?

And it literally took everything I had in me to go in there and ask for a table or a seat at the bar with myself.

And so again,

This was like all this joy stuff was coming up for me.

Like why can't I be with myself?

Why can't I enjoy my own company,

My own space?

And I was so consumed about what other people were going to think of me that it literally paralyzed and froze me.

So I invited the Archangel Hanielle in and I asked her to be with me and help me find pleasure and joy in having a meal,

Not by myself,

But with myself.

So I walked into the restaurant and it was like early afternoon.

So there really wasn't anybody in the restaurant.

And I walked up to the hostess because she's right there when you walk in.

And for a second,

I just kind of looked around.

And in the back of the restaurant,

I saw this small bar with a couple of bartenders behind the bar.

And usually there's like TVs by the bar.

So it would have given me something to do,

Which is why I wanted that spot.

And so I looked at her and I said,

Is it possible for me to go sit over there?

And I pointed to the bar and she's like,

Oh yeah,

Absolutely.

Go right ahead.

So I went over there and I'm like,

All right,

Ariel,

I'm here.

My heart is racing.

I'm super nervous.

I was probably shaking a little bit.

And I go up and I sit at the bar.

And of course,

The waitress,

She comes over,

Or the bartender,

She comes over and she goes,

Are you eating or having a drink?

So I had gotten a menu and I had ordered the fish and chips because I was truly craving the fish and chips.

And I think that's the joy that was invoked in me to get me in the restaurant.

And so what happened is because I was just there,

I ended up having this conversation with her.

And then the other bartender came over and he jumped into the conversation.

And we started to laugh and really have a good time and come to find out they were new bartenders and they were in the process of coming up with a new seasonal drink.

I think this was in the springtime for coming up in the early summer months.

So they were actually testing and putting together drinks.

So what they were doing,

They were giving me small tastes of the drinks and asking my input and asking what I thought.

And I just realized that I'm in the midst of joy.

I'm having this good time with myself.

But what I realized is that I didn't have to do it alone.

So my intention was to go in there.

And the fear of,

Again,

Being alone and not knowing what to do myself and feeling socially inept and not feeling like I fit in all got in my head.

Where as soon as I invited the Archangel Haniel in,

I feel like she opened the joy and the space for me to really enjoy that meal.

And it really had nothing to do with the meal,

But it had everything to do with the confidence and the courage and the success I felt when I left that restaurant.

I was in such a good mood that I ended up walking down to the beach,

Sitting down for a little bit and really watching the waves.

And there was like a parasailor out there.

And I just really enjoyed being out in nature,

Sitting and enjoying the beach with the sunshine on my face,

Watching other people have true,

Genuine joy.

And I have no doubt that the Archangel Haniel brought those examples into my life to see that,

See,

Not everybody needs to have a team,

A group.

Not everybody has to enjoy joy on things.

So that was,

Gosh,

I think that was 2014,

The summer,

Spring,

Summer of 2014.

So I've been on this journey and this path of discovering what joy really is.

And so every once in a while I ask Archangel Haniel to show me,

Like show me what it is.

And I found that the most joy that I have is not in spending money on experiences and things like that,

But it's the things that just pop up that fall into your lap.

It's those maybe TV shows that pop up that make you laugh.

It's the people that you're enjoying around you and their joy and soaking that in.

And so I ask that as you embark on this holiday season and maybe you're struggling with joy and again,

Attempting to accumulate things or presence or things to help people be happy,

To help yourself be happy,

I encourage you to pause for a moment and ask,

Like,

Will this bring true joy or am I doing it out of obligation because I feel like I need to because I feel like I have to.

And Haniel will show us these things.

Haniel will help you embrace,

You know,

Why you're doing these things.

And again,

I get presents for people and I absolutely love giving.

You know,

I give an opportunity to think about the things that I want to offer that I think will bring joy for people.

And ultimately that brings joy for myself.

But there's this beautiful energy into it as opposed to I want,

I need and get me.

So those are the things that kind of steer away from.

And so as you're going into this holiday season,

As we have this couple weeks left and maybe you're doing your holiday shopping,

I encourage you to find the joy in the moment.

If you're out shopping or you're amongst family and friends,

Pause for a moment and reflect on the energy of joy and what that means to you.

Because what it'll do is those things will fill you up to overflowing.

And instead of looking on my past and shoulda,

Coulda,

Wouldas and wishing,

I reflect now on those childhood memories as a true gift,

As a blessing that I had those memories and an opportunity to have a base of something that I want to create for myself and possibly children and family going forward in the future.

And you can use Archangel Hanielle to help you and assist you.

You know,

I think a lot of times we try to figure these things out on our own,

But she's so smart and she's so wise.

And I always try to invite her in when I'm going on an adventure or I'm doing something that's going to bring me joy.

My boyfriend and I,

We tend to have like these random afternoon dates because we both work crazy schedules and I always invite her in and ask her for her assistance and showing us joy.

And the funny thing was yesterday,

We were going on a Tuesday afternoon date and my boyfriend wanted to stop for a coffee and get gas before we got on the road.

And so I was kind of like,

I just want to get there.

I just want to go.

And I'm like,

Fine,

Fine,

Fine.

Let's stop.

And he's like,

And so he bowls into a gas station and I was complaining because it's hard to get out of and it's not the easiest for traffic.

And so here I am complaining and have forgotten that I had called on Archangel Haniel earlier and it was really kind of my lack of control.

And so he went in to get his coffee and I'm in the car and he walks out with this big smile on his face.

He's got this extra large or this large coffee from Dunkin Donuts and he comes out with it and he's just smiling.

And on this cup it said joy and it had Christmas trees and things like that on it.

And he's just holding it out and he's like holding it and I'm looking at it and I'm like,

Son of a gun.

I'm like,

That's right.

Let go of trying to get there and make things happen and worrying about time and just appreciate the moment.

So I ended up taking a picture.

And if you're following me on Instagram or you're not following me on Instagram,

Find me on Instagram under Gladys Ellen,

At GladysEllen444.

And on my Instagram page I posted the picture and I told him that I wanted to post a picture because on my Instagram page every day in November I posted a picture that brought me gratitude.

I did 30 days of gratitude.

I enjoyed it so much that I'm continuing my gratitude Instagram journal on Instagram.

And so every day I'm looking for something that brings me joy.

I'm looking for something that I can be grateful for,

That I can post and share with the world hopefully to spread that gratitude and that joy and that mindfulness to others.

So I posted the picture and what was funny was when I went to go take the picture he held up two fingers because this thing is he gives the peace sign.

So we held up his two fingers giving the peace sign as I took a picture of the cup joy.

And I just kind of laughed.

I was like there's my reminder and I thanked Archangel Hanielle for reminding me that I was trying to control and I was getting too much in my head which was blocking the joy from coming in and then also to reminding me to open up space to be mindful.

So I have to say at that point we got in the car and of course we got out in traffic easily and effortlessly and we were on our way and we had a beautiful afternoon.

So Hanielle will show up even when you forget or even when you've asked and you really kind of get consumed with the energy of just people around you.

So again you know looking into joy and what that means to you sometimes meditating on the idea of joy and like what brings you joy.

So really what brings me joy is being able to have time and peace to myself you know after this journey of going places with myself I went to see Les Mis and a friend of mine was doing was an actor in the play of Les Mis and it was like a local show and I went there I bought a ticket with myself and I started doing these things.

So I went to a play I went to see a movie I went to that that lunch at George's and I've gone to breakfast at T's restaurant and I find that every time I go it reminds me of that time when I was sitting in George's parking lot paralyzed about the idea of going in there and how am I going to find joy in this and enjoy the situation when I realized that the universe brought the joy to me and around me just by showing up and being present and fear a courage is fear and moving through that fear anyway.

So from that point it reminded me of the courageousness of the strength of the joy of being me of being with myself.

So regardless of the family that I have or don't have with me this holiday season regardless of the presence that may be given or may be gone regardless of my expectations of what I want the holiday season to be I'm embracing the joy of what is the joy of surprise the joy of showing up and finding new ways to be joyful and so I invite you to ask the Archangel Honey Ale to surround you to just envelop you with that energy of joy.

This is a great meditation before you go to bed because what happens when you do this before you go to bed you wake up in that good space that you set that intention for the night before.

So before you go to bed reflecting upon the day of the things that brought you joy or that feeling of joy really is any type of manifesting and creating goes into the feeling and the essence into things.

So I give myself time so every night before I go to bed I write down 10 things that I'm grateful for in my gratitude journal and I also blog one of those things on my Instagram page and put it out there to share that.

And so I invite you to if you want to do that or just think about one thing that you can be grateful for and then allow that energy of joy to consume you to do overwhelm you with appreciation and gratitude and blessings whatever that is.

Sometimes it's God's graces sometimes it's the blessings of finding our way through things.

This being Mercury retrograde where we're in the phase where Mercury is God goes has gone retrograde and when their phase of the full moon.

And so right now people are experiencing communication issues technology issues travel issues.

And the funny thing is before we recorded this there were some technical issues with the software and I'm just kind of laughing in my mind and I said Hey let's call on the Archangel Michael and you know and you know Ben had done some finagling and some moving around of things and we got it working.

And so what I was reminding myself was be in that joy be in the joy and the essence and the appreciation of the moment and things will work itself out.

And just by sharing that with Ben it opened that up energy up and and again so so again we could we could you know go zero to sixty on frustrations this time of year and traffic and you know too many people and we can't get what we want because it's sold out.

But I ask you to be mindful of that be mindful of how you're feeling and when you feel that the knots in your stomach are you feeling frustrated or overwhelmed give yourself a moment to pause and have in that memory bank things of gratitude of things that bring you joy that you can reflect upon and flood your memory and your vibration and your energy with that and call on the Archangel on honey Alan ask her to assist you in this space of joy so that you can truly enjoy this holiday season for yourself and what that means for you and embrace this energy in a different way you know in a different experience.

So I'm going to conclude my conversation with Archangel honey Al and joy and we're going to pause for a moment for a word from our sponsors.
