Here is an excellent message from the Archangel Gabriel through Shanta Gabriel. It touches in a few lines on the work to be done to make our light available.

A theme has been developing through the messages we have transmitted over recent times. The purpose behind this theme is to provide maximum inner stability during times of outward instability. It is obvious that the prevailing awareness of many people is on the tremendous change occurring in myriad situations and places all over the planet.
Many are focused on the date of December 21, 2012 as an action point that is dually seen as the end of the world as you know it as well as a new world of Peace, Harmony and Cooperation.
In order to create this miraculous new world, it requires inner shifts of consciousness and healing of all that is not in harmony with this higher energy frequency. The need for a shift can be seen in every area of the world around you as the old ways destabilize, crumble and fall away.
This can create great fear on a personal level, as change is wont to do. When facing a clearly unknown future, the first emotion a human feels is fear. This fear is contagious and can create even more disharmony in the midst of chaos.
Those reading these messages from the Angelic Dimensions have for many years known they are here to hold the Light for a new way of being on this earthly plane. This requires an inner stability and above all, emotional balance. Not only will you feel happier, you are then able to reassure others with a smile and your peaceful presence.
As you radiate your clear faith in a more harmonious future, people around you are affected in positive ways. More importantly, the Earth itself will sense your energy and can use it to create a higher, more harmonious, energy frequency. The human emotional state is a key element in the upheaval that is so apparent in the earth’s changes.
More than ever before, it is essential for you to remember, “Be at peace, Little Lambs.” Take the steps necessary for your inner healing so you can be a blessing to others as well as to the earth.
