On the business of bees.

Its strange, but since the mid September equinox, the flowers that were all drooping ready to exit for Autumn, have all been rejuvenated. They seemed to come back to life and in full bloom, once again.













The garden has been a place for me to revive my soul in the last few weeks and I am so grateful, that while we live here, I can enjoy being outside in nature.  I enjoy pottering even though I am not much of a gardener but mainly I sit outside while it is warm and take in what is going on around me. We have grown some lettuce, tomatoes and some herbs. Our carrots were not a huge success, but it was a tender foray into the world of self sufficiency, ha ha.

I love how the cat moves through the garden on her three legs. She lost one in a car accident when she was very small. She kind of  'hoppity-hop's around.  This garden is her domain.









The cat often follows me when I am in the garden, which is nice. The garden is the place that I share with the cat. We share the garden with  foxes, dragonflies, robins, blue tits and coal tits, gold finches magpies, seagulls, pigeons, butterflies, wasps and bees. There is a huge bee currently buzzing around and it makes me laugh as it really is a fat thing.

It came to me that we are all like bees really. I relate to the beesiness of their busy lives.  I see that we all go off in many different directions during our day, gathering nectar to bring home to our hives. The nectar may be food shopping or salary, nectar may be knowledge and experience, it may be spiritual learning and love. Whatever our nectar may be,  it is always something we can harvest that helps to fill our hive with life, nutrition, nourishment. It is also about the gifts of nature from mother earth such as love and connection with the bigger picture.

We externalise ourselves through this outgoing everyday business and then bring home the nectar.  The hive is our home, it is the place where live, on our own or with others, it is also the home for our souls. We nourish our human body, the hive that is our vehicle in this world, with the nectar we can harvest. The harvest is the gifts and the elements provided by nature and life, that we use to nurture, enhance and inspire our lives.

I have recently been busy (beesy) in my hive, shifting things, moving things, de-cluttering, getting rid of old decaying energy, clearing that which no longer serves a purpose.

The hive that is my home, allows me to nurture and nourish those who live with me. I try to bring into our hive all that is desirous to each persons fulfillment. Food and love, connection and experience. Each person then has a comforting place to bring their souls, both during times of  rest and times of activity, within both their inner hive and the family group hive.

 I have been rejuvenating the energy of my own personal hive and that of the bigger family hive. As is true to life, energies can become exhausted and old, stale and resistant to change. We have to stir them up using the new nectar we harvest.








I see that my own inner hive is a place to bring back harvests of spiritual energy and loving  connections with myself and the bigger picture.

At any time of the year I love to watch the skies and the sunsets. It is especially meaningful at the end of the warm weather, when it really is no longer a time for sitting the garden  I have to admit that winters come.  Then it is time to retreat to the inside. We come back into our hives which  have been rejuvenated and revitalised, by the gifts of the harvest, (whatever that means to us individualy) which will sustain us for the long winter ahead.








Letting the light through into the illusion. Sharing a message from Aisha and my own comment at the end.


The manuscript of survival – part 426

Let us begin this missive by saying that you have by now already accomplished to pierce a few holes in that membrane that separates you from your own greatness, and like stars on the firmament, these small apertures will begin to exude a powerful light that will begin to attract you attention, but also the attention of others. You see, you are not just here to discover your own greatness, you are here to utilize that high voltage of light to create change on a vast scale, not just for your planet, but for All of creation. And before this adds to your already considerable pile of reasons to begin to think yourselves unworthy of all of this attention, know that you are far above and beyond anything that we can heap upon you of our most lavish of praise. For you are truly gods in your own right, but still, the rediscovery of this lies somewhere off into the future, but now, you will at least begin to get a small inkling of it by the light that will begin to seep through these small apertures you have created for yourself.
And so, this will also begin to equalize the pressure if you will between that small and cramped compartment you currently abide within and the enormous and light filled space that is yours to enter whenever you manage to pick up your courage and determination enough to stride across that divide you still seem to find insurmountable. That is, your mind still thinks so, but the rest of you is already starting to venture closer by the day and indeed, by the night. For so much of this process will be governed by your higher self, that part of you that sometimes seem to be such a distant relative you have no idea it even exists, while at other times you feel yourself comfortably immersed in the sweetness of yourself and you just know that you are finally home. Well, the two of you are indeed about to get better acquainted now that these small openings will begin to assist these get-togethers in a very new way. Remember, your hesitation will indeed serve to slow down the pace, but also know that your higher self is already confident in your own success, and so the two of you together will find a way to overcome those obstacles the human parts of you still try so fervently to invent.
For as that old separation begin to come to a close, the nearness of your own greatness will feel almost overpowering at times, and instead of seeking towards it, you may find yourself trying to shrink back from it, yes, in every sense of the word. For you will feel literally to small to contain it all, and no less too limited to even begin to understand it, but again, this is not something you need to understand. In fact, you will be far better off not even trying to. For this is not an intellectual task you have given yourself, a riddle that needs to be solved by your human counterpart. No, this is simply something you have to allow yourself to carry out with every ounce of your being, and without any hesitation at all. For you can stand in your own way if you so choose but you can also choose to simply step aside and let your own greatness carry you all the way home into you. Again, the choice is yours, but remember what your human mind still thinks of as free will is indeed under the jurisdiction of your own higher self. So whatever your heart tells you, is the truth, and whatever you mind tries to make of it, is simply a figment of your imagination, and it is not something that can be construed as part of your free will at all.
Again, you are all sovereign beings, but when we say that, we refer to the totality of your being, not of that one small part of you that goes under the definition of your human ego. And so, for many of you, an inner turmoil may erupt at one point or another, that is, if you try to go against your own free will and fight too hard to keep an old an limited idea of yourself still running your actions and your intents. For that can too easily happen, and the reason is also easy to explain. You have been so programmed to listen to that same small inner voice literally lifetime after lifetime, so you look upon it as the symbol of you, when it is in fact merely a whisper from those uttermost layers of your being. So this time, make sure you give yourself the benefit of doubt whenever this old and so-called “voice of reason” begins once again to pipe up with all kinds of suggestions why you should not allow your own greatness to truly begin to shine through. For that is not the voice of reason, that is simply the old storyline of illusion, and now, you have been given the task of ripping asunder that old veil and unveil the real you that has been sitting behind it waiting for you to finally claim it back as yours. For it is you in every way, and now, the time has come to step boldly forth and say “THIS is me, not that small fragment of humanity that currently enables me to be present here at this grand occasion, these momentous times, not just for mankind, but for All of creation. And thanks to me, this opportunity has finally come about, and now, I will do everything I can not to stand in my way nor any other’s, and I will add my considerable weight to this already rolling wheel that is bringing us all into the new and away from the old”.
For that is why you are here, to amplify the change by adding all of your being in one seamless package, by connecting what has been separated and by allowing every single part of you to come together into one coherent, magnificent ONE, housed within the relatively tiny body of a human, but carrying within you the power of All of creation. So step aside and let your own greatness take the lead, and do not let your own ideas of smallness hold you back any longer. For you are made to shine brightly dear ones, and now, you have already started to allow this brightness to seep out into the open. And remember the faster you allow these openings to widen, the less the pressure will be, and vice versa. For you determine the speed, but the speed also determines the intensity of your own process. So one again we say allow the flow, and know that it will help to you float through these rapids faster and in a much more comfortable way, if we may use such a word for a process that is indeed bar none the most important and the most complex ever undertaken by anyone. Bu that is why you are here, and that is what you are more than capable of.
After all, you have been hand picked for this assignment, because you are truly the ones who have what it takes and then some, and so, it is not by accident that you find yourselves at this juncture now, for that is what you have been preparing for, seemingly forever. So give yourself the leeway you need so that you can find a way to tune into those parts of you that are already well under way in accomplishing this gargantuan task, and let those parts of you still insisting you are not good enough step back and fall silent. For you are so much more than that hesitant voice, and we know that you know this too. For you all have it in you, and now is the time to let this power be unleashed from that straight jacket it has been kept in for far too long.
Remember, it is your old programming that is trying to make you fearful of your own powers, for you have been well taught to think that what you can sense deep within you is something that must be avoided at all costs. For what you sense approaching is a change so profound any so-called “normal” human being would automatically shy away from it, for that is what you have been taught to do. For you have been well trained to avoid change at any cost, and to stay obedient to this at all times, and so, whenever that inner strength begins to seep out, so many of you will literally step back from it because it seems to intimidate you and even threaten your very existence. For you think it may destroy you, but it will not. It will simply destroy the illusion that has kept you trapped within it for lifetime after lifetime, so no wonder you might cringe at the very idea. Remember, mankind has learned to abhor change, but your task is not only to initiate but also to succeed in changing everything that you up until now has looked upon as reality, and now, that truth is literally beginning to seep out from your very bones. So no wonder you may feel yourself fluctuating between elation and anxiety at times like these. Just know that you all know exactly what to do and how to do it, and now the question is simply this, when will you be ready to actually allow it to happen?

'Sycamore-seed' wings. Earth angels in September. I finally got my earth angel wings.

There was a time a few weeks ago when it was all 'Not Good'. I knew it would end eventually, but when you are in the middle of it, it's hard to see the outside of it.




Long story short, and in what has become the 'way' of these things, the final synchronicities began to fall into place showing me that the long story was being wound up and the months and years leading up to it were leaving. The ending is gentle, it is like the change of the season and only when you  sweep up the leaves do you know that they have fallen.


Synchronicities: From September Equinox.


One evening late in the unfolding of these events, I made a journey to a town not far from me but I had to travel by bus and then train. The journey was to a spiritual place for healing. At this place, I met a friend that I hadn't seen for a long but we had recently began to chat again on the phone. It was a long wait for healing, but as the way with these things, it just is. The evening was fine and together, my friend and I  walked back to train station around 9.00pm. We parted company on the train and I went on to my stop. As I walked down the main street I realised that Police had shut down this street and cordoned off the road. I wasn't sure where to get my bus from as the most logical alternative for a diverted bus route meant going through a one way system, the wrong way,  and the police would have no idea which way the bus would take away from the area that they were closing down. After a while I reasoned to walk back to the stop that was well before the diversion and cordoned off area rather than find a place near where I was. The walk was long and it brought me well past the station  I had just walked from. Eventually The bus came and I got on. The bus actually took a route diverting from the road that I had been, then it went on in an interesting diversion by passing one-way roads and going a very long distance circling the entire area. Finally I got off at a stop that was a distance from my home but walkable. I kept thinking, what is this showing me?

It wasn't until the next day it fell into place.  The scenario was:  I had to my retrace steps and go back to a place, passing the station I had just come out of, and then take a bus that was diverted into a very different route to get me home. It like was a mirror of the last weeks or so of my life. Let me explain. For the last 30 years or so, my life changed from the route I was going along, the cause? my feelings and how I saw life when my brother became so very ill with a severe mental illness (there was more to it than this but this was the presenting event), I had at that point in time, to bring my brother into hospital, and watched as the life left his eyes, never to return. He was 17yrs, I was 18years. I began to  grieve for someone who had not yet died.

Everything from then in my life on was undertaken in the hue of that sadness. There was of course more to the causes of me becoming ungrounded, other than my brother's illness,  and basically throughout childhood, I had pretty much left the building, for most of what was going on. Further, about 25 years ago another serious set of circumstances set me on the route of continued spiraling events, leading me far from the route that I "should" have taken.

 Of course all things are 'planned' and I had been taken 'off course' to immerse myself in those feelings,emotions and experiences which brought me opportunities that would help me learn how to transmute pain, both mine and other peoples. I was also able to open myself to things that otherwise I would not have seen, felt or done, and that 'good or bad', have made me, the Me that I AM  today.

 The last few years of my healing journey have been painful but essential. Then the last few months and weeks have fast tracked this healing and my psychic journey has become very bizarre. This bus diversion,  happened one night, purely random and spontanetaneous, but it was a sign that I made the grade so to speak and that This particular route, the one that I had been on for this very long, had ended, and I had moved through enough of it for it to be healed.  I was brought out of my usual dimension very abruptly, taken on a long journey that I had not planned  and then jumped off the bus as it sailed close to place near to where I live.

It took some time but I figured out that, the smallish gesture of trying to find my way back to the 'correct' stop, late in the evening, was showing me that I had quite literally whizzed myself back to the Point where the diversion from my life occurred and then the ensuing journey, where the bus took an elaborate rerouting, at least doubling the journey that it was intended to replace, was mirroring the retraction and healing of that period.

In other words, the bus route diversion was a outer manifestation, occurring that evening, to show me that I had managed to redo, heal, retrack and finally 'spiral'  back to the point, and above it, energetically speaking, from whence the diversion was into my life. The fall out is like slow-motion ash, hitting the ground after a Volcano has spouted an eruption.

So the ash was slow-moing to earth,  when it hit me.  I had been on a 30 year diversion but was now allowed back on course. This September had so unreal, already, and it was getting even shakier. I might not have explained it very well, but all outer stuff in your life, mirrors inner shifts and,  yes, even those volcano eruptions.

A few days later, I had a call from the people who had been making the Memorial stone for my brothers grave. He died in January 2013.  I didn't  start to look into details about having the stone made until early this year. I  finally found one and placed an order for it in February of this Year, 2014. I cant't talk about the amount of things that went wrong, I had to get the deeds transferred (long story)  papers getting lost, wrong people doing the job, people changing the jobs within the cemetry office, loosing and transferring money.  I had to make so many phone calls and letters to get things sorted out.  By August I had decided to just let it all go. Forget and be done with it. So I was truly shocked to hear in that phone call that the stone was now in place.

It was again a sign that, the last 30 year period, had been completed. The extreme grief and sadness of loosing my brother first to a horrible mental illness, and then finally to aggressive cancer and all the relentlessly achingly sad years for him in between, was all swept up in me.  It was as if a broom were sweeping up all the dried up leaves and ashes.  The broom now finished the sweeping and the leaves and ashes were transforming, as if  into a comet, raising up, zooming on its way out, and  exiting my solar system. Leaving no trace of the dried leaves and ashes.  This all confirmed the above conclusion about coming to the end of a long line and then spiraling back to a new starting place.


Around this time and  few days after the phonecall,  I had arranged to take my daughter and her friend to a Light Body Festival in London on the Sunday. Leaving our home to go to meet her friend then travel into London,  we walked by some sycamore seeds scattered on the ground.  I picked some of them up and looked at them as if for the first time. Putting two of the seeds together back to back, they reminded me of  wings, like angel wings but more of earth, like earth angel wings. These Sycamore seeds are known as helicopters here in UK.  I showed them to my daughter who agreed they were beautiful and did indeed look like angel wings. I popped them in my bag and we got on with our journey.

Sadly when we got to where the indoor festival was being held I realised that the information I had about it was, unhelpful to say the least, and the festival had been poorly advertised. The person who told me about it was only referring to the talk that he was giving and  that talk was taking place on the Sunday. Sadly the main festival had taken place the day before, we had missed it. It could just have been me not getting the facts right but what could we do now.  Mildly annoyed, but not to be put off, I took the girls for lunch and then waited patiently as they browsed in various shops. Finally we rambled down to Covent Garden Market.

I went around the market and the girls went off by themselves but keeping in contact with me by phone. I often feel myself propelled  along and find myself in places and talking to interesting people. I browsed through the market and pretty soon I was drawn to the smaller indoor market which you have to get through the whole outdoor market to get to.

As I strolled through the market I was propelled along the various rows of stalls, many of which displayed some fantastic silver jewellery. All of a sudden, my gaze fell on stall with delicate and original silver designs. Then I saw it. A beautiful silver chain with two silver sycamore seeds back -to -back, as if they were angel wings. I was absolutely amazed, I had never seen this design ever before.

 I exclaimed at how gorgeous the pendant was and at once fell into a a deep and meaningful conversation with the lady whose stall it was. We exchanged angel chat and then she, did the most wonderful thing.  It seems that, as I had given her, during our conversation, something that she needed, she responded by giving me a beautiful gift of the silver sycamore-seed wings pendant.

I put my hand to my mouth and wanted to cry, as this was evidence and much needed confirmation, and validation.  It was also an angel medal of honour, I had finally got my earth angel wings.



.......and here they are.

***********************************************************

  I had, a very long time ago, my palm read. In the first reading, at a party, the reader was able to read everyone else's palm, it was her thing, a party piece. But she couldn't read mine, she didn't want to read mine, she was adamant and flatly refused. She looked a bit scared.  In my palm I have a life- line that splits in the middle causing a fork. I reckon that it is in the recent events that I have finally been to end of one of the forks and then been able to whizz back to the place where the fork splits, to go on my journey down the second fork. Which brings me to where I sit now.

Lucky Me. The second time I had my palm read, was about 8 years, when the kids were small, a man in a mind-body-soul festival told me that in about 8 years time, I would be writing, journals, about travelling.

This is one strange journey.

Ground, grounding and more grounding. Grounding with Chocolate ???

Get yourself grounded is the message. Ground, as in:  your lower half becomes as a tree trunk and your roots go deep into the earth.
Return to your centre, see your strength,  believe, know and intend that you are aligned with a true perfect template of yourselves.




Grounding is not only for those of us who meditate, heal or are energy workers. We all are energy workers as we are composed of energy and so we are influenced by, as well contribute to an energy dynamic between ourselves and  the world around us.  We are constantly, unconsciously or consciously, moving through waves and pulses of energy that mingle with our own. When we ground moving through external energies should not knock us off balance.

Our own energy is a constantly moving inner force that defines who we are in any one moment. If we are not clearing out old systems of energy that we have outgrown, then we accumulate that stuck energy which becomes dense and attracts other dense energy to it. Clear out those old cluttered, fragmented, energies, (memories) by first  grounding and letting go of the surrounding thoughts, feelings, beliefs and old unwanted patterns that we default to, and beat ourselves up about,  when we think about them.

There is lots of articles on grounding out there, in internet land, also in many books on meditative and spiritual practice that include techniques for grounding.  Keep going until you find one that feels good for you.

I particularly like the Chocolate option. I keep a small stash of chocolate in a drawer by my bed. Frequently I wake at night and my energies have been so high I instantly need help to land.

So I was pleased to I came across this: LINK http://www.psychic-readings-guide.com/spiritual-grounding.html

Here are the high-lights.

Chocolate

A little bit of chocolate is also great for spiritual grounding.  Chocolate is natural and grows in pods on the theobroma (cacao) tree - therefore, it's very "earthy."
If you're going to try this method for grounding, I recommend using a raw, high quality chocolate.    I personally use Sacred Chocolate because it is raw and organic. 
Cacao in this form is more bitter than the drug-store chocolate that many of us grew up eating.  To me though, the health benefits and grounding properties of raw cacao are worth the sacrifice.  
If you're not ready to venture into the land of raw cacao, start with dark, organic chocolate, such as Green & Black's.  Have fun with this one, chocoholics!

 The author continues with:

Connect with Nature

You've probably heard of this spiritual grounding technique before because it has literally been around forever.  (Remember, our ancestors didn't have the fab shoes that we have nowadays, so they were often barefoot and connected to the earth.)  There are a couple of ways to do this:
  • Pull off your shoes and walk barefoot outside.  Feel the earth under your feet.  You can walk on grass, dirt, or at the shore.  Focus on the sensation on the earth beneath you.  Dig your heels into the earth.  It feels amazing!
  • Gardening is also excellent!  Get outside and put your hands in some soil (no gardening gloves).  Be at one with the earth!

Salt Bath

Salts are wonderful because of their natural healing properties.  Combine that with the cleansing properties of water and you've got a winning combo!
Sea salt, Hawaiian salt, or Himalayan salt (my personal favorite!) are excellent choices.  Add about a cup or so to the warm, running water.  Sit and enjoy for 20 - 30 minutes. 
Tips: 
  • If you feel like you have energy stuck to you after giving someone a reading, a salt bath is a great way to wash that energy off of you.  (You may also enjoy this article with tips on dealing with our loved ones who are energy vampires.)
  • Scents can also help with spiritual grounding, so adding some essential oil to the water can be nice, too.
  • If you don't have a tub, or time to sit and soak, try using a salt based body scrub in the shower.

  

Meditate

Meditation is wonderful for just about anything, and spiritual grounding is no exception.  Sit upright in a comfy chair with your feet planted on the floor.  Imagine your feet have roots (like a tree) and are anchoring themselves deep into the earth.  Breathe and allow yourself to be balanced.
If you'd like to try a unique meditation that I received from my spiritual team while working in the Akashic energy, click here.

Crystals and Stones

Certain stones and crystals are great for grounding as well.  Try carrying some jasper, black kyanite, or blue kyanite in your pocket... or create a piece of jewelry with it!

Do Something Physical

When you aren't sure how to ground yourself, try physical activity.  Moving your body can help you feel more centered quickly.
Exercise is great because you focus and connect with your physical body while expending excess energy at the same time.  Yoga is especially wonderful because it centers you on a spiritual and physical level.
Don't have time to hit the gym?  No problem.  Other physical activity, such as washing dishes, cooking dinner, or walking the dog can also help connect you with your physical body which will make you feel more balanced and less "flighty."
I hope you have fun while trying these spiritual grounding techniques!  Try one, or try them all!

here is more of the article:

What Is Grounding?

Basically, it is balancing out the spiritual and physical energy in your body by connecting yourself with the earth.  When you are grounded you feel like you are here:  in the physical, in the present.
It is especially important for healers, mediums, intuitives, and other types of energy workers to practice these techniques to keep balanced.  But, grounding is great for anyone, even those with anxiety!

When You Are Not Grounded You May Feel:

  • lightheaded
  • tired
  • disconnected
  • dazed
  • like you are floating
  • shaky
  • flighty
These feelings and sensations can happen when you've got excess energy running through your system from doing energy or spiritual work.  It's totally normal for those who work in the energies, and nothing to be alarmed about.
Spiritual grounding (referred to by some as earthing) can help get rid of excess energy and sort of "plug" you back into Mother Earth, balancing out the energy, and getting you back in touch with your physical body.
When I first started developing my abilities, no one told me about spiritual grounding.  All I knew is that I felt like I was very much out of touch with my body.  In one of the first mediumship circles I ever sat in, I shook uncontrollably.  When I learned spiritual grounding techniques, all of that went away.
Following are some tips on how to ground yourself.  The most important thing to keep in mind is that not every tip will work for every person.  So, what works for me might not work for you, etc.  Just keep trying different techniques (or a combination of them) until you find what's most helpful for you.

Eat

Eating is great for grounding and is something I do after giving readings. It reminds us that we have a physical body, and the process of digestion helps bring the energy down away from our crown and third eye chakras.
Ayurvedic medicine folks feel that root vegetables are especially good for grounding because they grow underneath the surface of the earth; therefore, they can make you feel more anchored to the earth.  And of course, they are delicious when they're roasted!
Root veggies are also a great choice because they are high vibrational foods and won't dull your intuitive senses.  You can learn more about a psychic diet here.
If you don't have any veggies around, don't despair!  Use what you have on hand and try experimenting with different foods to see what works best for you.

know that even the smallest sparkle of appreciation for yourself and what you have learned in your life, can open up a path of sparkling light to help you navigate to higher ground."

A beautifully uplifting message brings me delight to share.



Soul Transitions Vibe Report September 2014

Greetings All,
It has been awhile since I’ve written a Vibe Report. The prevailing energy has been about integrating higher frequencies and the resulting changes that come into our lives. I feel I’ve been in a cocoon for several months and now my chrysalis is beginning to unfold. For most of this year, it’s been all about release, forgiveness, compassion and being in the now. Wash, rinse, repeat. And now, new projects are beginning to bud. When I sit down to write I realize that I’m working on something bigger than the Vibe Report. A book is beginning to form as I listen to the within and tap into Universal wisdom.
Integration
For many years we have been preparing for the times we are in now. There is a feeling at the moment of getting our affairs in order, clearing out and organizing our home and purging things that we’ve held on to for years. We are experiencing opportunities for clearing on an emotional level and purging physical items that are cluttering our home is symbolic of this deeper release.
I’ve also been noticing anxiety for no apparent reason – just a nervous buzz of energy. Some have described it as impending doom or waiting for the other shoe to drop. The message I am getting is that it has to do with energy upgrades – meaning higher frequencies coming in. These frequencies bring change. It helps to navigate them by having the conscious intention of letting go of what no longer serves us (the “uncomfortable comfort zone”). We may feel anxiety about letting go of the familiar, even if it is something that we don’t want to hold onto anymore.
These higher frequencies I often write about come in pulsating waves. We integrate the wave, then there’s a pause before another higher wave comes in, and we integrate that, and so on. These frequencies are often pulsated through the sun. They are moving through the Universe and, through electro-magnetism, the sun draws the energy in and then amplifies it through solar flares, sending it throughout our solar system. When we start to feel the anxiety or restlessness we can try taking a moment to bask in the energy and breathe into our center, tuning in to our experience as we feel chaotic energies spinning around us. It’s time to let our thoughts go – stop trying to describe what’s going on – embrace the chaos and dance with the messy dissonance of change.

Feelings from out of nowhere
There have been times recently when I’ve experienced painful, negative feelings from my early years being triggered within me. I find it amazing that I can still cave into that place of despair or self-recrimination so easily. This is my teaching, this is where my wound is. Perhaps some of you reading this have been experiencing such moments as well. Practicing compassion and forgiveness for ourselves helps us to navigate the higher energies we are integrating. These higher frequencies bring to the surface the dense energies that we assimilated when we were children. Memories rise to the surface and expand into emotions that can feel like poison. It reinforces the sense of our true self to witness the opening of our wounds as we stay in our heart center and allow the emotions wash over us like a tsunami. We can grab onto the feelings and be roiled about in this tsunami, or we can stay in our center, steadfast in our knowing of our own true north, as it were, holding our ground and being strong in our truth as the tsunami dissipates. Awareness and acceptance helps energetic pathways to stay open, so the poison can be purged, helping to heal the wound through deeply experiencing and transforming the poison (fear) into love.
I find that meditation is a practice of awareness that can be focused on at all times during our day – not just when we’re sitting with the intention to meditate. It helps to bring us into a state of presence and witnessing, instead of engaging in emotional turbulence. So that when these moments of triggering dense feelings occur, we can eventually steady and center ourselves with love and compassion.

Empathy
We are becoming more and more sensitive to energetic vibrations that are radiating through our world. As we release energetic blocks – as in beliefs and patterns that were programmed into us – through this ongoing clearing process, empathy is awakened. This heightened sensitivity to energetic vibrations helps us to quickly discern between what feels good – as in loving, kind, fun, and what feels bad, as in judgment, fear, arrogance. Finding the middle way helps us to navigate the chaotic frequencies that are wafting across the planet. The key to being guided by our own intuition is trust. As we continue to clear away what is not our truth, we have lucid moments of inner knowing and we can tap into that through trusting our feelings and inner voice of truth.
Sometimes we may find ourselves feeling intense emotions for no apparent reason. Some very sensitive people may find themselves feeling grief or deep sadness, bringing on a flood of tears out of the blue. We are connected to one another through the Collective Consciousness and at times we deeply feel the unrest in the world. Sudden bouts of anxiety, nervousness or a general strange vibe is also part of the heightened perception we have now as we sense each other’s energy. This Collective connection can also be tuned into in a positive way. Breathing and connecting to the grid of light that is our consciousness (as in our Light Bodies) and tuning into one another as we hold the higher vibration of Love, helps us to become grounded and find that peace within us.
Love and Appreciation in the moment of NOW
In this time of opening to higher frequencies and deeper awareness, we can slow down “time” and savor the beauty of where we have navigated our life stream. It is simply deep appreciation for what is and deep awareness of the moment as moments move into moments in the flow of love and the light of grace. This practice of appreciation helps us to continue to navigate into situations and places that are in harmony with our energetic vibration, so if you’re not quite happy with your present circumstances, know that even the smallest sparkle of appreciation for yourself and what you have learned in your life, can open up a path of sparkling light to help you navigate to higher ground.
It is up to Humanity as a Collective Consciousness to create the world from awareness, inner knowing and love, which is what comes forth from a conscious awareness perspective. Creation happens all the time. Creation can come from fear as well, of course, which is what would most likely arise from the Collective UNconsciousness. There is much at stake at this time in regards to moving forward with creations of love.
The gift of knowing precedes the gift of experiencing
One may intellectually know that Humanity is One Consciousness and we can consider this and bring it into our vibration by meditating and feeling into this understanding. As we continue to do this we will begin to have experiences of telepathy and synchronicity that will reveal to us the depth of this Unity we are all part of. As we continue to vibrate with this energetic frequency of Unity, birthed through love, which comes forth from compassion and forgiveness, we are preparing ourselves for the Unity Moment – that moment of conscious awareness where we expand into Light, mingling our Consciousness in the One Being. I believe this is what we are approaching. A flash, a moment of knowing, then coming back into our bodies but never again seeing ourselves as separate from one another. Evolution. When will this happen? I don’t know. Will it even happen in my lifetime? Don’t know, but I do cherish this vision for Human Evolution.
Pay Attention
The Collective Consciousness of humanity is like a fabric of energy and all of us are consciously and unconsciously part of this energetic fabric – which can be seen as a grid-work of energy. This is why maintaining and radiating love is so essential to us. All the time; intention, awareness, focus. Being impeccable with our word. Being centered within the core of our being. Becoming Masters of our own energy is what is most important at this time.
Through all the work that we continue to do on ourselves – the work of taking responsibility for our experiences and feelings, the practice of forgiving ourselves and others, this “work” creates the clearing of density – dense beliefs and feelings. I use the word density as a replacement of “negativity” in order to release our minds and hearts from judgment. When we are free of judgment, we are able to observe – or witness – what is wafting through our energy fields in forms of experiences that we are creating – or magnetizing – into our lives.
We can see that what we choose to experience in our lives – in our interactions with each other – are opportunities to release the structures and fog of judgment and beliefs or fears that we have about ourselves. Our interactions with each other reveal to us where we are allowing fear to distort our reality.
World Events
We are seeing chaotic energies coming to a boiling point all over the world. This can trigger a mass awakening on so many levels. With our enhanced sensitivity to energy, we need to place our focus on what is nurturing and nourishing to us and what brings us peace and happiness. Yes there is destruction, corruption, violations of human rights – the list is endless – and of course we care and want to help in some way. One of the most basic ways we can help is by maintaining our own vibrational frequency of love and harmony, because that is the vibration we radiate into the Collective Consciousness – and the world – and the Universe.
When we allow outrage, anger and despair to be what flows through our energy field, we can make ourselves physically ill and that is also what we put forth into the Unified Field, so we are essentially adding gasoline to the fire. This is one of the most difficult concepts to grasp because we also don’t want to sit by and allow injustice to happen. However, hating and judging and righteousness just feeds the flames of discord. Instead, in the physical, we can put forth actions that are solution oriented and love-based as we continue to maintain the vibration of love within our energy field. This is how we create a new world, a world of sovereignty and harmony.
We are evolving into religion-less sovereignty
Love is the joyous expression of the meditation of life
Many paths and explorations have brought us to where we are now. Some of us have been exploring “spirituality” and different pathways designed to connect us to our spirit and our soul for many years. Like tourists in a maze of spiritual practice, ritual and dogma, some have taken pathways informed by certain spiritual philosophies only to come to a petering out of the energy – a waning interest – and then being sparked by a different philosophy and following that path, and so on. Many have come to a place of letting go of all that exploration, settling in to an inner knowing that is beyond words. It isn’t that those modalities and pathways were wrong, it’s more like we’ve come to higher ground where we are simply be-ing. It is self-respecting to be kind to ourselves and have compassion for the pathways we have chosen that have brought us to where we are now.
Beyond the Unity Moment
There will come a time in human evolution where spiritual philosophies and religions will become unnecessary, as Humanity will be living from the experience of NOW and BEing part of all of life, including one another. Separation will dissolve into an awareness of the Earth and the entire Universe as a living, sentient being that all life force energy flows through, including of course, Humanity. Many of us experience glimpses and moments of this connection and it takes us beyond words. There’s a Cosmic Hilarity that arises when we think of trying to explain direct experiences of One-ness.
With love I dance my words and pictures as an offering to you in the knowing and not-knowing of the crazy mystery of our interplay in this multi-verse.

The Gatekeeper’s Role: Ascending and Returning to Earth

Posted by Wes Annac
Written by Wes Annac, The Culture of Awareness, September 22, 2014 – http://tinyurl.com/kchtrrm
Every now and then, I like to take a page from Steve Beckow and discuss some of the information we’ve been given from the wealth of wonderful and genuine channeled messages published to the internet every day.
Most of you probably know that I channel my higher self and guides, and it goes without saying that plenty of other entities are channeled who offer a lot of information related to our ascension, our respective roles here on earth and plenty of other things that are intended to expand our perception of ourselves and the reality around us.
Our channeled sources have talked about everything from an inevitable ‘first contact’ with the spiritually advanced humans who exist on other planets to the equally inevitable (and ongoing) ‘ascension’ we’ve heard so much about.
If you don’t know anything about ascension, it’s a collective evolutionary event that’ll take us from our limited third dimension to the much less limited fifth dimension (and beyond).
It’s no secret that most channeled material resonates with me, and even though some messages can’t be taken as seriously as others, I appreciate a lot of channeled material that some people don’t think is genuine.
I think there’s something real to the ability to channel various higher-dimensional entities and collectives, and I hope to see that the rest of the world picks up on this reality in due time.
Here, I’d like to look at the role some of the lightworkers are playing in acting as ‘gatekeepers’ and keeping the widening ascension portal open for as many fellow seekers to step through as possible.
For those of you who don’t know, a ‘lightworker’ is a conscious seeker who recognizes that it’s their mission to bring through as much and as pure light/love energy as they can in an effort to uplift the collective consciousness, and as we’ll learn here, different lightworkers have assigned themselves with different missions.
Some lightworkers are here to channel communications from the higher realms, for example, while others are here to bless everyone who crosses their path. Some are meant to keep the aforementioned ascension portal open for the rest of humanity to eventually become aware of and step through, but what does it mean to be a gatekeeper?
It usually means someone’s experienced one of many states of enlightenment and consciously/unconsciously decided to use their greater perception to help the rest of humanity find a higher vibration. In many cases, the gatekeepers have basically ascended and chosen to come back to assist in the ongoing restoration of consciousness.
We’ll learn more about this role from our channeled sources, and in our first quote, The Divine Mother via Linda Dillon explains why some gatekeepers who have experiences of enlightenment don’t feel enlightened afterward.
Steve Beckow: “So, Archangel Michael spoke of Ascension Lite. He spoke of going through the car wash and then going through the car wash again. Those people who do that, the early risers, they should not feel at all disturbed that they’re not in a state of Sahaja?
Divine Mother: “No. This is the process. This is the reconstruction, and, let’s face it, you are the models for this. You are the template, and you are the template not because we are doing experimentation, you are the template because you have said, ‘I desire, I choose, I wish, and I will do this.’ There is no room for discouragement.” (1)
Archangel Michael via Linda Dillon describes the ‘thousands and thousands’ of people who’ve found a degree of enlightenment and chosen to use it to uplift humanity.
“Thousands and thousands and thousands of people have ascended and have had the experience of the ecstasy, the bliss, and the significant shift within their very cores insofar as they do not see or experience being human or being in Gaia in the way that they had previously. Let me explain.
“These souls ― and yes, they are everyday people; they are not those who have been vying for sainthood, but they acknowledge their mastery, and part of each of you ascending is acknowledging your mastery ― but they have basically gone through the Ascension portal.
“They are primarily way-showers. They have anchored in the higher dimensional energy ― Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, and so on.” (2)
Gatekeepers, AAM tells us, decided to make a ‘U-turn’ after their initial enlightenment experiences, and for the most part, they’re consciously aware of their mastery and divinity.
“They have what we have called made a U-turn and are still exhibiting on planet, in form, in everyday reality, because their promise ― as part of their sacred journey, and as part of the collective’s commitment, decision ― is that they would be the way-showers for the rest of humanity.
“So they have, shall we say, Ascension Lite, insofar as that they have experienced the bliss, the higher realms. They have released the sense of restriction. They have embraced the sense of their inter-dimensionality, their ability to create and co-create.” (3)
Ascension requires anchoring to Gaia (the spirit of the earth), AAM advises.
“Now, each individual is having, and will have, a different experience of Ascension.
“Now I am going to describe, in general terms, what this Ascension looks, feels like and what that experience is like. But it does not mean, even though you come as a collective, it does not mean that each of you perceives and experiences this sacred union, the rising up through a higher-dimensional realm, in the same way…
“When you ascend, it is important that you anchor with and on Gaia. Otherwise your feet, quite literally, are not on the ground. So when people can experience and go, jump, to the higher dimensions available within the human experience, it is important in the Ascension, both individual and collective, that you stay connected with Gaia.” (4)
We’ll find as our ascension journey continues that staying grounded is important, because we can’t awaken humanity if we’re too lost in our own greater perception. Like plenty of people (likeMatisyahu) have said, we can have our heads in the clouds as long as our feet are also on the ground, and spirituality isn’t true spirituality without grounded-ness.
We can’t enjoy our growing higher-vibrational perception without rooting ourselves to the earth, and those of us who are here to bring this planet into the light will benefit from staying open and receptive yet willing to be grounded at the same time.
Ascension won’t directly take us to the twelfth dimension, even those of us who naturally vibrated at that frequency before coming to earth, AAM shares, and instead, Gaia will be with us to help us stay as anchored as we can.
“Think of yourself as a helium balloon and Gaia is holding your string. So, as you ascend you will be at this time within the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, brushing the Eighth, brushing the Third, but not really in those dimensions. So for people to think that they are going to ascend and simply go directly to the Eleventh or Twelfth would not be fully correct.” (5)
Creating a new earth will require us to stay anchored primarily in the fifth, sixth and seventh dimensions.
“Now, once you have done your Ascension, are you free to move about? Of course you are.
“But the building and the creation of Nova Earth ― and we are talking about the human piece of Nova Earth, the human co-creation of Nova Earth, because the kingdoms and Gaia are already creating Nova Earth, and they are already participating in the higher dimensional reality ― but if you have your mission and purpose to assist, or desire to assist in the anchoring of what you, my friend, and I have called the Golden Age of Gaia, then you are primarily going to anchor in the Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh dimension.” (6)
It makes sense that we’ll have to stay relatively close to the earth if we want to make any sort of changes to it, and it seems that moving into the higher vibrations won’t be enough for our Nova Earth to be constructed. We’ll have to be willing to remain near the earth so we can construct our utopian society, and the rest of the dimensions will always be there for us to traverse.
We’ll always have the opportunity to explore the realms beyond the seventh dimension, but repairing the earth will temporarily require us to stay near the earth so we can play our part in constructing the society we’ve waited so long to see.
Our ability to change the planet will have long been sharpened by the time we’re in the fifth dimension, and the love that’ll overflow from our hearts will inspire us to make all of the changes that’ll be required for earth to host the presence of billions of other advanced civilizations who’ve waited for us to start making a real and lasting change.
In our final quote, AAM tells us that it’s in our life plan to remain near the earth to assist in the construction of her new society.
“Now, at some future date will there be a further Ascension? Yes, she is already inching up, as it were. And that will occur.
“And yes, there will be some who, once they have completed their commitment, shall we say, to the Mother, of Ascension in form and the ripple effect throughout the multiverse, the anchoring, the full anchoring of the love, then they may say, ‘Well, I think now I am going to primarily go back to my comfort zone, or my home zone of an alternate dimension.’ That is fine.
“But the fulfillment of the promise of this phase of the Mother’s plan is for the humans to accompany Gaia and all into the higher dimensional reality, and particularly into the love.” (7)
We’re on the earth to make a lot of important and needed changes, but they require much more love and light than we’ve manifested so far. This is why the gatekeepers are here – to experience physical/spiritual ascension into the higher realms before using their freshly enlightened perspective to bring this planet into the light once and for all.
This planet and its people have been in the center of an ongoing battle between the dark and the light for millennia, but now, millions of gatekeepers are being activated for their greater missions and answering to the dark forces who strive to keep us from recognizing and acting on the spiritual nature of our existence.
The gatekeepers, most of whom have already ascended and come back (without realizing it in some cases), are now tasked with transmuting the intense darkness that’s fed on the earth. Fortunately, they (and we all) are given a wealth of loving assistance from AAM, the Divine Mother and an uncountable number of other guides who are willing to do whatever they can to help us find the light.
If you feel like you’re a gatekeeper, I’d recommend you embrace your mission and refuse to turn away from it in favor of the continuous distractions our society churns out. We’re each here on a divinely inspired mission, so don’t worry if you haven’t discovered yours yet – you might find after a while that you, too, are a gatekeeper.
