I had a problem with a zip the other day. It just would not close, it went so far and then seemed stuck. The threads of the zip were not in place and did not meet up with the teeth of the zip on the opposite side...perhaps you have even been in a beautiful part of the countryside and yet sill felt far from beautiful, and despite the wonderful setting felt un-connected with it and maybe even irked by it's beauty, because inside you were in some sort of conflict?

There are many sites and books that you can look at which talk about the higher self.  Sometimes, our conflict is not with others, but our higher self.  Now whether our higher self is also our inner child, well I don't know, yet....  Breathing is one thing that we can use to help us reach some sort of alignment with the inner and higher self.  Raphael in the Archangel Oracle deck by Doreen Virtue says "take several deep breaths, and exhale slowly to awaken your energy and to release old patterns".

Sometimes that is not enough though. Sometimes we are so much out of alignment that we cannot settle to do this. Sometimes it is to do I feel with energy fields and vibrations, sometimes it is to do with old thoughts creeping in, sometimes it is to do with our lower, earth plane self thinking of expectations and not going in a flow. We each of us have a flow, but you know sometimes when we live and work with others, flows can end up in conflict. Ours might be running a lot slower than someone else's, (think of a waterfall hitting the stream/river below, or those hidden currents that are hidden in the expanse of what appears to be still water).

Think opportunity, more than problem.  "Be still, and know that I am God". Re-weave the tapestry around you. Lighting a candle, putting on some music can help. Asking for the Angels to come in to lift up the vibrations around you and return you to wellbeing...  There are lots of music that can help us re-connect. Try also using some incense sticks, wafting their scent around each room and asking for only love and light to come in, for positivity to flow and for negativity to go.  You may find this may just settle you enough so that you can then begin to re-align, and to get in touch with your higher self, for help...  

With relationship problems you can also ask, through Divine Light and Love, for assistance, strength and wisdom to help overcome the obstacles between you, for the highest good for yourself and for them. With material things, like jobs, money, household difficulties, again try lighting a candle, incense stick and writing down the problem or the name of what ever it is that is causing friction, i.e. "Sofa" and allowing yourself just to be still. 

Ask your higher self to help you to sort out what ever the problem is, through Divine Light and Love.   It may turn out not to be a problem after all. You may find in the weeks to follow your answer or some sort of guidance will come to you, in something somebody says, offers, in something you catch sight of, in an unexpected opportunity, pay-rise etc.

The message - Re-alignment means Stay strong. Within each of us we have the skills we need to get through. The wolf's adventurous, teaching spirit, the strength and energy of the shire horse... and most importantly,  the energies of our dog companions which is faith and love. With faith and love, we get hope, and with hope comes positivity.  In re-connecting with the higher self, we connect with our spirituality, with Father God if you like, the energies of the Cosmos and Creation, but also we re-align with others, raise up our energy fields and our own vibrations, healing our aura... You may find yourself  drawn to different colours now, or wanting to add some different colours around you ... 

Wishing you love and light, faith and hope.
