Angel Whispers is a weekly
inspirational message from your angels by Russell Forsyth.
Week of February 8, 2009:
Solace
This word came up during a
'song harvest,' a term coined by my friend Craig that frames
the glorious journey of creating music. The word just came
out of my mouth in place of the one I had carefully crafted
and written down in my notes. Solace replaced the word
silence in the phrase "finding silence in the soul." I
wasn't sure of the exact meaning or the lyrical 'fit.'
The word solace is a
transitive verb and a noun that means to console or lighten
up by making cheerful. To soothe is another meaning and the
example in the dictionary used the verb as 'to solace
grief.' This was interesting to me as the study of words and
the writing of music intersected to form a deeper
relationship or 'bond' to my expressed meaning.
The passage in the song was
truly more about solace than silence, and completely in the
energy of grief. What emerged in the moment was around the
way emotions flow and become partners with sound, only to
evolve as energy that is without words. This type of
communication between body, mind and spirit rarely manifests
the way it did this past week. The Mercury Retrograde was in
full swing, and that can affect communication in many ways
for many people as we pause for reflection and discernment.
It seems like everything
I've written about solace has significance regarding the
process of writing the Angel Whispers, such as silence,
solace, consoling, cheerful messages and the feeling of
being lighter. Maybe now I can find the meaning that dwells
in the depth of the silence in the form of whisper on
solace:
Ancient civilizations
found many ways to express the feelings associated with
solace. Sanskrit writings were channeled messages designed
to give the reader solace, courage inspiration and faith
in mankind. The meaning, messages and connection with this
word have lost strength in modern times with the dismissal
of important teachings around spirituality.
Gaining solace can take on many forms and have greatly
desired effects, so it is wise to contemplate actions and
intentions around solace designed to bring you closer to
your heart and soul. Inside solace, you can find silence,
acceptance, inner beauty and peace with a connection to
your Divine energy source.
As you find balance in your life, include the nurturing
aspects of solace that bring harmony to your joy, your
grief and everything in between. In this way, you are
completing a circle of life that surrounds you and
supports you by bathing you in the light of love and
connection with Divine Spirit.
The intent to soothe the soul expresses the energy of your
willingness to experience the most beautiful aspects of
life from a perspective of joy and wonder. Inside the
depths of your solace, you will find the highest levels of
peace, love and, most importantly, acceptance. In this
light, think of solace as the gateway to receptivity and
the strands of energy that connect with your heart.
Bring joy, ease suffering
and create beauty, then dance like you mean it!
Blessings, Russell
