Courage

We are into the 5th month of 2012 and as I sit with the energies scanning the past 4 months I see and feel erratic fluctuations pulling and pushing like a sawing motion, accompanied by drops in elevation down into sinkholes, then popping out like cartoon toast from a toaster boing-ing up and slow spiraling down to land gently on soft moss that soon morphs into mud and turns into a slurry that cascades us with it to the edge of a precipice and off we go because there’s no other choice and instead of falling, we’re floating and then suddenly falling and then going up and on and on it goes. Yikes!

At times I’ve also felt like I’m on a carnival ride – the Cup and Saucer. I’m sitting in the cup and it begins to spin and the larger saucer is also spinning, faster and faster, at different rates and sometimes different directions. Centrifugal forces are bringing up our issues for integration and lightening up.

We may be feeling a little dizzy or nauseous, experiencing digestive issues, sudden feelings of panic, or a general flat-lining feeling that leaves us staring into space. Surges of energy are entering our nervous system affecting our physical bodies, our emotional/mental body and blurring the lines of reality. I’m not even sure I can explain what that means, but so-called reality seems a bit fuzzy at times, along with the flow of time itself. And the sun… what’s up with the sun? The light seems different somehow and yet I can’t quite put my finger on it. It seems “old” or diffused… the shadows seem long even at mid-day.

That old onion analogy
Veneers of the old camouflage we took on as coping mechanisms throughout our lives continue to be brought to our attention through our thoughts and feelings. This can be so uncomfortable but is integral to our rising into the fullness of our being. We need to look at our “faults” and self judgments and bring them into our hearts as we would soothe a crying child. Learning to stop judging ourselves and others, knowing that we’re all on this ride together, helps to bring us back to ourselves and take care of our own process. This also gives rise to deeper compassion for those who seem to be freaking out or holding on to the old, splattering us with their dysfunction (triggering ours!). It’s all an opportunity to love ourselves..

Repositioning
Many people are making life-changing decisions at this time – many are moving to new locations – as one friend said, people are being “re-positioned.” Job changes and relationship changes are ongoing. Flare-ups in relationships, outbursts of anger, and abrupt changes in behavior continue to abound. We are all on notice to really practice not taking things personally.

Ch-ch-ch-changes
There has been some silence from Soul Transitions as I undergo shifts and repositionings myself. I often find myself leaning towards the resistance of change. The flow stops, the wheels spin. And then I remember I’m on this great adventure, I find the humor to laugh at my humanity, and gather the courage to continue.

My new website Integral Soul is under construction. I have found a web goddess to assist me in this process and I am so grateful to have come across her through the Soul Realignment™ website (Keena – www.PurposeRichBranding.com – see more information below). I expect to launch Integral Soul in June/July. My Vibe Report blog will be moved over to that site and I am hoping to transfer all the subscribers through the RSS feed, however if I’m not able to do that and you are a subscriber, you may be asked to re-subscribe on the new site.

Slippin’ and Slidin’
This is a transitional time where that which is unresolved will be coming to the surface for completion. Loose ends could turn into whips so be sure to take care of any unfinished business and promises not yet fulfilled. Unexpected events from the micro to the macro are bubbling up. Trust that all is well and in alignment with the great shift and adapt a feeling of wonderment as you traverse the terrain of May. We are each on a path and those pathways can become obscured as winds of energy change the landscape. There may be times when you don’t know where you’re going because what once was clear has become cloudy. Uncertainty abounds. Make friends with it.

For some, the outer world may seem to remain the same, but an inner swirling of energy will be felt amplifying a feeling that provokes the question “what’s going on?” This is why having a feeling of wonderment as the world turns around us will help us maintain a state of witnessing the grandeur of life. This helps us to stay in our little boats as the seas churn all around. Conscious breathing and tuning in to love will assist us in stabilizing our equilibrium. This will be an ongoing necessity as our pathways become obscured and the ground underneath slippery. What once was there suddenly disappears and we’re in unknown, never before seen territory. This makes us nervous. But we still contain and embody the integrity of our essence and that is a profound knowing that brings us stability. Know who you are. Support who you are. Speak your truth and live your truth.

When nervous, panicky feelings come into us, we can know for sure that others “out there” are feeling it, too. Through our breath, we can bring in soothing, grounding energy and send it out into the collective consciousness.

Birthing our new lives
Living what isn’t our truth is becoming unbearable, so if you’ve lost your job or are in the process of releasing a relationship, know it as a blessing and an opportunity for you to align with something that brings you joy. Know that for every ending is a beginning.

Emotional currents, and thought forms that give birth to emotions, are swirling around among endings and new beginnings. If you are initiating a major life change, check in to know that you are following your heart, even thought it may waver at times. Us humans do resist change and all that is required to create change at the planetary level, but the heart-guided changes we make in 3D rise up through our dimensional frequencies and re-align us with the original vibration of our Soul. How can this not bring us fulfillment and joy at every level?

We’re not alone
Knowing that all of humanity is connected in the One-ness will help us to stay in the Light and find balance in uncertain and changing times. Reaching out, connecting with one another, calling a friend or going to a gathering can be soothing and supportive in times of change.

The Vastness of Being say, “We see you standing, feet apart, knees slightly bent helping you to stay upright and as the earth moves underneath you, you sway back and forth with the rhythm of the shifting. That is how the energies look at this time. Shaking ground, shifting sands, uprisings rising up.” We all support each other through the energetic web of light that links us to one another.

Dimensional shifts are filtering down into the planetary 3D experience, creating cracks that can be seen in many of our lives and/or in the expanded global picture. New energies are released through the fissures giving us the opportunity to rise up, explore and embody new wisdom and experiences. We, as a collective consciousness, are all going through this together. The journey is all about self love and acceptance.

Resistance is Futile
We need to be as flexible as possible as the energies rock our world inside and out. Grounding into the earth and connecting our heartbeat to the heartbeat of the earth keeps us in harmony. This is our chance to strengthen our ability to remain in the present moment.

Sharing loving, happy moments in our day, radiating gratitude and appreciation, celebrating our friendships and loving connections helps to raise our collective vibration. In mirthful moments, we can send the energy that we’re feeling through the inner net, connecting with other humans… they receive it and feel it and radiate it outwards, others receive it and then send it forward, on and on… this creates a vibration of love energy throughout humanity. We literally pulsate the love vibe throughout ourselves and the inner net of humanity. We will see others being drawn into our lives with serendipity and synchronicity. Radiance is released through these moments of spontaneity and it will be like a party around you… a party of radiance around each of us… a celebration… a joyful energy.

Don’t Look Back
Look to where you are in the present. Much is bubbling up around us. If we stay connected to our hearts and remember who we are – our energetic vibration is the energy of our Soul – if we nurture this energy that is our unique vibration, we will stay in integrity and be able to navigate the ever-changing currents. Joyful celebration with one another, creative expression of our divine gifts – saying YES! to who we are – strengthens the connection we have to one another. It’s like many people holding hands, feet firmly planted on the ground bracing against a strong current, gathering strength through our One-ness.

When we move through the times of uncertainty and maintain our inner integrity, we will find ourselves in new places living a life more aligned to our Soul’s highest path and purpose. Know that you are fully supported in creating your new life.

Innocence

Photobucket

Greetings!

Wave after wave of energy is rolling through our multidimensional physical reality, pushing us toward new experiences and sometimes wiping out the old. Many of us are facing changes deep within our consciousness and/or in our outer lives. This can leave us feeling wobbly and off balance. It’s helpful to practice grounding our energy into the earth, to spend some time in nature, to breathe deeply and call the light of the cosmic consciousness into us, to experience ourselves as part of the All That Is.

Change is flowing into my life in many ways. I am personally feeling that these Vibe Reports are taking on a different aspect. Since 2012 began, when I sit to write, I feel more like I’m writing to a book that is being birthed within me. The Vibe Report may appear as audio or video messages in the future. The experience of channeling is now more of a blending of inspiration from the Vastness of Being and my Soul consciousness. In fact, I am feeling “my consciousness” as very expansive – part of the Human consciousness and then expanding into the nature of Earth. When I think of the Oneness of the Human Being, the concept of collective consciousness moves outward to the galactic and universal level. No wonder we’re losing our memories and our stories! We are glimpsing ourselves as part of the All of the All.

When I tune into this, I feel the flow like a wind blowing through me, loosening attachments to defining myself. And then an old wound might loom up, like a huge boulder blocking my flow, saying, “You can’t pass until you deal with this.” Have you noticed you keep coming up against the same feelings – things you feel you’ve already dealt with? It seems that all we can do is surrender and ask for help in releasing resistance so we can integrate the wound into our essence with love.

Precipice of Change
Back here on Earth, I am in the process of creating a major change in my life. I’ve been writing about changes and the Precipice that many are facing and I am on the edge of a precipice as well. My friends and collaborators in the non-physical tell me that when we step off the precipice; don’t be surprised if we rise! Like fledgling birds taking that step out of the nest and finding we have wings as a whole new landscape opens before us.

The Love-Force Energy
I have been consciously visualizing and opening to receive the crystalline Christ Consciousness energy in my high heart – the upper chest, below the trachea and above the heart – at the thymus gland. To me, this energy is the “God-force” energy. There are many names that describe it: Divine Creator, Source, Spirit, Chi, Life Force Energy, All that Is… God. Whatever we call it, it is a flow of love. Sometimes I like to refer to it as the Love Force Energy, which, to me, is the life force that animates the physical body bringing life and consciousness to the physical. It exists within and beyond the physical, flowing through the All of the All… the Universe, the Multi-verse… it is that which cannot be explained. The mystery… The Great Spirit.

Innocent Hearts
I have always been aware of the feeling of innocence when opening up to this energy. Early on in my awakening experience I was frightened because I felt “not good enough” to receive this energy. And then I was even more afraid because I realized I felt resistance to love. This is the tragedy of the wounded Human. To become so confused about our truth that we actually resist the vibration of love.

Back to that boulder, it is our resistance to receiving love. It is our fear, our “not good enough” beliefs. It isn’t just our personal stuff, it’s ancestral – genetic – it’s in the Human DNA.

I now realize that we all come into this life fully embodying the energy of innocence and love. In my experience of acclimating myself to the vibrational frequencies of life on earth in the mid 1950s, I learned that the energy of innocence was not well received here. It was not respected, it was not strong enough or aggressive enough to compete, to get ahead. In my unawareness, I felt like I was wrong for being who I was – my true non-competitive nature was wrong. I grew to believe that others were better than me and so began the process of building up hard layers around my heart to hide that innocence. Crying inside, this little part of me curled up in a fetal position, orphaned and lonely. Now, I see this experience differently. The layers that had built up were protecting the innocence of my heart from a world that believed in competition and survival of the strongest.

The Daily Drawing March 9, 2012

As I began healing into loving myself – a process that began at least 30 years ago – I witnessed the flow of love coming up against this barrier of energy around my heart, which vibrated with such pain, so that love actually hurt. It was horrifying to me to realize that I was afraid of allowing love into my heart. I was literally afraid of the fear I felt. Little by little, with much assistance from non-physical guides, from teachers and from various modes of therapy and energy work, I have been able to release the density that had built up around me, so that I could receive love and BE love.

Awakening
The waves of high vibrational energy we are receiving strip the denser vibrations from us so, sometimes bringing us to our knees. It is up to us to surrender into loving ourselves. When we do this, we are lifted up into the energy flow of love.

There are some people who are feeling anxiety that they will not “ascend” or move into the vibration of the “New Earth.” As if that journey is reserved for a select few who have been “on the path” for a long time, or who are somehow “better” or “spiritual masters.” I remember feeling that way at one time. It is one of the ways that we allow fear to hold us in density. It also is of the third dimensional vibration of competition and survival of the fittest, which is not our true nature. We are co-creators, learning to live in cooperation not competition. Turning our focus back into love will help us to move into that vibration. There is no one who is going to be “left behind.” Eventually, we come to trust in our hearts and our Souls and the divine timing of our awakening.

The high vibrational energies that are currently on the Earth plane have been anchored by many who came to Earth in the years after World War II. They brought the Light of love and truth into the density and helped to usher in the momentously creative times of the 1960s. The music and energy of those times is still so alive and vibrant. Now, the path to Love is greatly accelerated. So don’t worry; what took me 30 years of gaining clarity and self love will take others a much shorter time – days, weeks, whatever time is needed, it is in Divine Timing.

The Inner Net
A few months ago I wrote about a dream I had where I was within the living organism of the Human Being. I was looking at a membrane all around me and there were white circles and black dash lines that were flowing in that membrane. As I looked closer I saw radiant faces within the white circles and I realized that each circle was an awake person on Earth and the black lines represented those who were still asleep.

I often speak about the Inner Net and I see it as lines of heart connections that we in those white circles of light have between us. I find it of great comfort to meditate on these connections when I feel a little “off” or disconnected. It’s like I’m looking out from my window of light and saying hello to all of you looking out of your windows of light. Feeling the heart to heart connection with all my sisters and brothers of Humanity in the Inner Net fills me with love and playfulness and comfort as I know I’m not alone. It is simply at the speed of thought – or conscious intention – that the connection can be made. And when we do this – send Love through the Inner Net – we are strengthening our connection to one another and radiating that energy through the membrane of humanity, helping to illuminate and awaken. And that is how the Human Being rides the wave of love into the higher frequency of the New Earth. To me, this is what is meant by ascension. The point I want to make is that we are rising together in Unity. Creating a cooperative, thriving organism. And everyone is invited to the party!

From the Daily Drawings, March 14, 2012

We are all born into this world with an innocent open heart. We are coming back to that very vibration at this time. Opening to love, to be-ing in love. Returning to love, we are loving ourselves awake.

Loving Ourselves and the Crystalline Energy

Continuing with the feelings of ennui and urgency, February has been a month of turning inside out and shining Light on parts of ourselves that we’ve kept in the dark. This has rendered me frozen in place at times or swirling within whirlpools of emotion. Welcome to the 4th dimension!

Expanding with the tide, a wave has turned, come to completion and is spreading its energy across the sand. I feel this within me. The essence of my life expanding with a sigh across the pebbles and shells of long ago experiences, stirring memories, currents of emotions, all of my experience in this life so far. Feelings and memories that have been integrated, softened with love, tenderness, tears of release, all coming up once again, like mist rising from the sand. Not for review. Not for further exploration, just to be in the light of my conscious loving energy. Raw feelings, opening the tenderest places within my experience are triggered, and I realize that all I am to do is love everything that comes up within me.

During this process at the deepest moments of the remembrance of pain, I feel another energy rising within me. It is my expanded self; feeling like a goddess, a wise, loving mother, witnessing the pain with absolutely no judgment. Holding the energy of my life in a sacred chalice, I feel reverence, and a deeper sense of love and acceptance than I’ve ever known. All of these facets – aspects of my Self – shine and shimmer in the light of awareness. This expanded self is vast; it feels like the “real” me. And then I come to a realization that as we continue to expand through the influence of the high frequencies of energy that are coming to us from the Cosmos, we are rising into our multidimensionality and the past as we remember it becomes simply a story. And at this time we have so much support for letting go of our stories.

Wave of Love
The emotions and thought forms of the past are being stirred by the golden wave of light – washing through our being – showing us the parts of ourselves that simply need more love. We are being shown the deepest aspects of our pain – the dark places we have repressed and fought to push away, now revealing themselves for us to envelop in love. No matter how we have tried, these emotions and thoughts cannot be denied. They have been cast out, abandoned by ourselves and they are coming home. Welcome them back into your heart.

The Golden Wave, oil on canvas, 2012 by Nancy Ward

How the Story Grows
We are born into this world and when we are small, wide open to it all, the world is described to us. We accept what we’re told and begin to walk within the thought forms and beliefs that are handed down through generations. We take on the description of “reality” with its limitations and disappointments and often this involves invalidation of our authentic selves. But the thing is that we agree… we make an agreement to invalidate our own authenticity.

As we accept the descriptions of the world – the global story and our own personal family story – the mental and emotional energy filters into our beliefs. We take on this dense energy layer by layer, until we are wearing a heavy blanket or overcoat of stories and beliefs, which we then present to the world as our own. I see an overcoat lined with wiggling tentacles and as we put it on, the tentacles reach in and become part of our organic body, feeding us with the energy of that which invalidates our soul’s truth. It is very heavy, this shroud. Its density weighs on us and feeds us with disempowerment, fear, depression. This energy is not only from this lifetime but it contains the thought forms and beliefs that suppressed our ancestors and has been kept alive in the collective consciousness of Humanity.

The Golden Wave
We assist this wave by embodying the Light of the resonant frequencies within our energy bodies and also through the collective consciousness, which I like to call the Inner Net. And so we rise with the golden wave and we rise as One Being – the Human Being. When we have compassion for ourselves, we also assist one another in that regard, for the compassion flows with the wave of Christ Consciousness energy throughout the Inner Net. We assist the flow of this energy through loving ourselves.

High vibrating frequencies reveal the truth
New information is surfacing, through personal insights, new discoveries and teachings. This Golden Wave of truth is affecting everyone in the conscious human family and we are seeing more people awakening to the truth. Including those who have been involved in government operations, corporate enterprises, academic manipulation of science and history, as well as political and religious organizations. Some are beginning to come forward in truth because they can no longer live within the matrix of lies they have participated in or witnessed.

Paradigm shifting information is coming to the global family and this information comes in gradual increments and will also come through events that will cause beliefs long held by humanity to come crashing down. Think of it as an energetic golden tidal wave that is wiping out false beliefs and allowing us to rise to the crest of the wave in the joy of newfound freedom. We will come to see how powerful we truly are. Humanity and the Earth is being re-born.

Letting go of the story
The Golden Wave of energy washes through all of us, offering us an opportunity to let go of our stories. There may be a little anxiety in letting go. After all, this is part of how we have identified ourselves. We “think” this is who we are. But there is so much more. As we let go of the heaviness of the past, we rise, like the spray on top of a wave, we rise, sparkling in the sunlight, and we integrate with the ocean of consciousness, we integrate with one another, coming into the experience of Unity. In increments, little by little, we experience a gradual awakening, which includes strong surges of energy that push us into new pathways of knowing.

The Earth and the Christ Consciousness
There is a pulsation of energy from the Universe – from a place beyond words – Divine Source. This energy is the Crystalline Energy of Christ Consciousness and it is pulsing into the sun, and the sun is pulsing it into the earth, increasing the heartbeat of the earth. It would be of great assistance to us if we could find that vibration, and allow ourselves to vibrate with the pulsation, or heartbeat of the earth. How do we do this? Taking moments to connect with the Earth energy – when I think of this, I feel my energy spreading through the Earth around me… in addition to sending my grounding cord into the earth, there’s a resonance of spreading out, like the ocean surf as it meets the shore and sinks into the sand.

Visualize sending roots of light into the earth. This can be done anywhere – even if you live in a city – the Earth is still there underneath the concrete and subway system. It helps to connect with trees – to put your spine against a tree and feel the roots going down, as you are surrounded in the aura of the tree. We are sharing this Earth with all the other life forms here, we are sharing consciousness with one another and we are expanding out into the Universe.

The “High Heart” Chakra
This energy is everywhere and is vibrating within our Spirit Body. To help integrate it further, we can consciously receive it through a chakra that exists above our heart in the center of our chest at the Thymus Gland. This has been called the High Heart Chakra. When we open to receive this energy it flows through our physical body. We can consciously flow it through every cell in our body and radiate it out into our emotional and mental bodies and then into our Spirit Body – these are the layers of our energy field. Our spirit body – that part of our energetic field that is furthest away from our physical (about an arm’s distance out) helps to draw the energy through the other layers of our field to maintain coherence with this resonance. This raises our vibration and lifts us onto the top of the Golden Wave.

Photobucket
The Daily Drawings, February 16, 2012

Unity Consciousness
We, the Human Being, are experiencing this together, because we are One, we are not separate from one another. We are rising into and moving towards a moment of Awakening… a Conscious Awakening.

Lightening Up
It will help us to practice feeling ourselves in a state of well-being. To practice the feeling of light-heartedness. To keep our hearts light as a feather. To witness events – and to witness how we may be triggered by them. This can be challenging, as waves of emotion move through us. Are you noticing some people flipping out in anger and lashing out at others? Do you feel the rising tide of anger moving through you at times? It can be very challenging for us to maintain our center when surges of emotion move through us or those we are in contact with. All kinds of emotions get triggered within us and so it helps to witness ourselves during these moments and know it’s an opportunity for us to love ourselves through the experience. Sometimes this awareness may not occur when we’re in the center of the storm, but when the air clears, we can hold the unloved aspects of ourselves that have been revealed as if we are holding an infant, with compassion. It’s like a storm blowing through and removing all our defenses so that we can see the orphaned parts of ourselves that are asking us to simply love them.

From the Daily Drawings, February 5, 2012

Growing Pains
Humanity is at a turning point in growth – the old clothes and shoes have gotten way too tight and are splitting at the seams. Buttons popping off, in all directions as we stretch ourselves into expanded awareness of thought and feeling. Telepathic abilities are coming to be known and understood more deeply. What we call synchronicity are moments of co-creation with one another. Truths about the history of humanity are being revealed, truths about the capabilities of the human being are coming into our awareness. We are outgrowing our belief systems. This is happening, whether or not we try to hold onto the old ideas and beliefs, a new age of awareness is dawning. This is the age of awakening. This is the golden wave, it is here and it is our choice to move with the energy or try to maintain the status quo, which is dissolving.

Oh it’s a joyful and exciting time to be alive on earth. I want to learn not to take things so seriously, to feel myself surfing this golden wave and to celebrate gratitude in every moment.

May we receive the light and radiate!

Sharing Consciousness, we rise together.

Out of the Fire and into the Sun

Photobucket
From the Daily Drawings, December 31, 2011

Photobucket
From the Daily Drawings, January 1, 2011

Since June 2011, I have been keeping a visual journal of daily drawings. I open up to receive and follow the energy, intuitively using color and guided by inner visions and sometimes dreams. These two images came through on the last day of 2011 and the first day of 2012. I ask my inner guidance and the Vastness of Being for an interpretation, which I feel applies to all of us:

Fire and Sun
Fiercely and courageously you have been dancing in the fires of transformation. You are now entering further acceleration of energies, which are expanding you into the multidimensionality of the universe. The sun on the horizon is your teacher. The fiery energy of the sun’s radiance is permeating your solar system. We have spoken before about the communication between the stars. Your sun is pulsating energetic frequencies that send messages throughout the galaxy. Your sun is awakening the All That Is within each Soul of the Human Being. Amping up the energy, bringing forth deep and profound shifts within each person and within all structures that are created through energetic thought forms. For example there is a group thought form that creates a government in the energy field that becomes strong enough to appear in the physical reality. The same with all systems – the banking systems, educational systems, religious systems – all concentrations of thought become physical representations. And so as the Human Being integrates the Soul of Humanity, which happens individually and as a group consciousness, the higher frequencies are being established within the Human Consciousness field. And so the structures of thought forms that are remaining in the lower vibration are disappearing and you witness this as something collapsing, imploding, sometimes creating great and sudden change. Rejoice! You are riding a great golden wave that is flowing from the center of your sun. But that is just one aspect of the multidimensional reality of the golden wave.

We will not predict or make much comment on the year 2012, for we feel there is enough talk about what this year means, however we do say that this is a year of radical shifting and sometimes sudden changes. Know that this is Divinely Guided, this is Nature, and this is bringing Humanity into ultimate freedom and sovereignty. The energy coming from the sun cannot be controlled or contained, so we suggest you bravely bask in the radiance of truth and learn to trust and surrender. You have many beings watching over you and you have each other.

There will be many inventions that will take you out of dependence on non-sustainable ways of living on the earth. So many possibilities that will free you from the yoke of lack and fear. Dream it into being! You create the thought forms that become the reality and you are doing it as a group consciousness for you have much power – as the Human Being.

In My Experience
We are calling back the parts of our Soul that have been isolated. The painful wounds that we can’t bear to see or feel. We are reaching out to the essences of our Soul that are still residing in our pain body. Those fragments of our hearts that have been disavowed, hated and despised… by our own selves. Can you feel the flow of softness as the nectar of unconditional love flows into you at the realization of this?

So when we feel “off” and give ourselves the devotional gift of attention, we can allow ourselves to really tune in to the feelings that come up and to allow them to wash through us. When we face our pain and allow ourselves to hold it in the vibration of love, a flow of compassion rises and flows throughout our being and into our energy field. Compassion for ourselves. For our Humanity. For all of Humanity. How could we ever criticize another person, when we’ve finally allowed ourselves to have compassion for our own precious being and all of our so-called faults?

We have so much support in the energies that are ignited around us. As we go through the process of calling back the parts of our being that have separated, creating loneliness and despair, we begin to receive the most beautiful energy healing. I see swirling pale pink light wrapping around us like a cocoon, and then pale golden light begins to spiral down gently raising the vibration. If we need violet light it will begin to glow all around us and as constriction releases and compassion flows through, openings appear which allow the fragmented parts of ourselves to come back home, come into the circle into the center of our hearts where it’s warm with unconditional love. And we say to this part of ourselves, “Tell me of your pain and let me wrap my arms around you and sing you a lullaby of love.”

And so we move deeper into the healing process of integration.

Sacred Humanity
We are being opened to receive more and more of the Christ Energy – the high vibrational frequency that is lifting us into accepting ourselves so that we become the Sacred Human Beings. Actually, we already are Sacred Human Beings. We are going through the process of believing in ourselves in this way. For how can we walk the Earth responsibly if we believe we are bad? Self love radiates outward into loving acceptance of all of Humanity. And when we see denser energies working through our brothers and sisters, the compassion that arises, instead of judgment, will help to raise the vibration of all, will offer redemption to all. For we are all connected and we act as mirrors for one another.

The Shadow Reveals the Light
Newly into the much talked about and anticipated year of 2012, I had the experience of my Shadow looming up all around me like a black mist with tentacles reaching into me. My heart was constricted in pain. I looked down and pulled a shard of glass out of my heart. But no, it’s a shard of a mirror. So I looked into that mirror and was confronted with what I don’t accept about myself and judge in myself and I saw it all related to different moments where I made decisions that I felt great shame about. Wave after wave of memories flooded through me as I squirmed in wrenching pain.

It was a day of pacing the floor, and a day of prayer. And then I received a message from out of the blue. A woman said to me (in relation to a certain incident), “Well, there’s nothing I can do about it now, so I’m not going to think about it.” That comment helped me to let go of the constriction of judgment and fear that I had been feeling. I began to breathe more fully and I felt lighter.

Ancient Healing Deities
Later I went to a yoga class I’d never been to before. The teacher’s energy was gentle and loving and she told us of her devotion to Hanuman, the monkey god of the Hindu pantheon of deities. Hanuman is an incarnation of the Divine and a disciple of Lord Rama. Worshiped as a symbol of physical strength, perseverance and devotion, Hanuman assisted Rama in the struggle against the evil forces of the demon king Ravana.

My friend Jon says that Hanuman is all about devotion, which really means devotion to the self. Hanuman also seems to me to be about eradicating demons in doing so (like the dark energy form with the tentacles that I had seen around me).

In the class, the energy of Hanuman was so present through the devotion of the teacher. I actually felt Hanuman showing me that feeling into my pain brings up waves of compassion, which helped me to open up to receive parts of myself that I’d abandoned through my own judgment against myself.

The reason I mention all this is to show that assistance is always available to us and sometimes it comes from surprising sources. I had heard of Hanuman, but had never felt the healing energies of this Deity before.

A Message From The Vastness of Being
The consciousness of Humanity is moving through a narrower and narrower passage compressing that which is dark into light.

What happens at the end of the passage? There is no end. There is a blending and opening into Radiance. As each person moves through this narrowing passage, they must release, surrender, accept, let go and open to the light of the Christ consciousness within. The brightest, most expanded aspect of Love.

The baggage must stay behind.

Feel yourselves to be wrapped in a cocoon of love, assisting you in this deep process of release.

The narrow pathway we mention may bring people to their knees, in certain aspects in their lives. Surrender to the currents of energy that are bringing change flowing like rivers through your lives. A time of compassion is arising…we say that compassion is the healing balm that will assist you in loving yourselves, shadow and all.

Often we have said that Humanity needs to love itself – each individual unconditionally loving themselves. This does not mean only doing what is considered good by some standard. No this means loving your shadow, loving your entire being with no judgment. So when you find yourself criticizing another, know that you criticize yourself even more harshly. As you see your own pain and foibles, and you love and accept these aspects of self, you will notice a bit of hilarity rising like bubbles to the surface, bursting with glee at the absurdity of it all. For once you know the innocence of unconditional love, there is no other way to be. All are growing towards this. Practice patience. Seek out those who work with energy to assist you in clearing, or shattering illusions that were never yours to begin with. Illusions about yourselves.

You are indeed diving into the sun, into the fire, for purification. It can be painful, but the pain is simply the melting of your hearts. As the ice cracks, the tenderness is revealed and you are the ones to love yourselves back to wholeness.

And so we move on to speak of the journey. Healing the pain is part of the steps along the way as you rise into acceptance and join together in Unity. The path is unfolding. You have all chosen to be here at this time of pivotal change on earth. Many beings from all over the Universe are here to support you, for change is at hand. Many will experience life-changing situations that may come up suddenly. We say, learn to embrace this change, for it is realigning you with truth and freedom.

Smile Often
Laugh – find the humor in this journey. We are so amazed at the Human Being with all your richness of emotion and the splendor of your creativity. If you could but see yourselves as we see you. Lighten up… do your best to not take everything so seriously. We see many people so serious about spiritual growth and we tell you, you already are sacred. Part of enlightenment is being light, so be gentle with yourselves as you journey deeper into Love. The pathway is open, you are moving forward on your journey to the center of the All That Is.

Golden Wave
I have been seeing visions of the golden wave – it has come up in my drawings and in a painting I’m working on. The Golden Wave brings the energy to move us forward into joy. The wave is here, moving through our lives. Courage, trust, love and surrender help us ride this wave. And creativity… our creative pursuits, no matter how the light of creativity shines through us, brings us lightness and a sense of fun and wonder at it all. So trying something new, doing something we’ve never done before helps create energy that moves with this wave.

Lightening Up
And speaking of humor, when I was preparing for my Monday night channeled meditation telecall recently, two guys showed up – they had Jamaican accents and dreadlocks and were very funny, joking around with each other and flying around my energy field. They said they were with me to bring a sense of lightness and effervescence to myself and those who would be participating in the telecall. Caught up in the energy, I laughingly asked them to please don’t make me talk funny (like them). I didn’t actually channel them but their energy was there and as I’m writing this now, they’re saying “We’re serious about silliness.”

Oh yes and they kept saying they are the Brothers of the Nine, even though they are two. They show me nine brothers who fly around and bring their comedy routines to many people, so I thank them for showing up in my playroom! Poking fun at our seriousness, they’re here to help us lighten up.

I wish you remembrance of who you truly are and a deep knowing that we are all connected through the Collective Consciousness of the Human Being.

Onward, upward, inward and outward!

Rejoice!
A Solstice Message from the Angelic Emissaries of the Galactic Councils

As directly received by Nancy Leilah Ward December 21, 2011

The Journey of Souls

Diving down… this Earth experience… many lifetimes – the Soul journey – diving down through layers of timelines into the depth of darkness because that is what grew here – darkness – density. It wasn’t the original design. It wasn’t in the original plan but it became the accumulation of the perversion of the plan and so we work within the matrix of the experiment. A surprise to the Elders of the Councils that have watched and waited through eons of Earth time.

And when it got so bad that destruction was imminent, a call went out throughout the galaxy. A call went out to the Realms of Light where Souls dwell in Bliss. “Who will come and assist? Who will come and assist our sister Gaia and our Human Child? There needs to be light brought into this realm to weave love back into the hearts of Humanity. To give them a chance to rise into Light and then to take their place among the stars.”

And we saw the beauty of the decision to go so deep into darkness and find your way back to love.

And so many Souls answered the call. From the place of Light it seemed simple. “Of course we will help. We are so filled with Light, we can bring it to the Earth plane.”

But once we descended… we had no idea what the density would be like for we did not travel in such realms and we had no idea how heartbreaking it would be. And so we forgot our true nature as lifetime after lifetime we dove deeper into the depths of darkness. Until we came to the bottom. Some, tragically, lost their way. Some lights faded and blinked out and that raised a current of despair for many. And others maintained their light and they have been beacons. And some Masters came down from the Creator of All who dwells in Bliss – like a shot of Light directly into the bottom and then rose up illuminating a path of Light. And then the Force of Darkness found these pathways and corrupted the programs to use against Humanity but the integrity of the Love remained – even if it was a tiny spark – it lived and the ones from the Light recognized that spark because that same spark was still alive within them. And they began to call more of the Light to them until that spark became a flame and a light that illuminated the pathway Home. And so you are rising and the Light within you is guiding you Home. And you are meeting your fellow Light Bearers as your journey becomes clear and you rise together.

And this is what you came here to do. And it has been accomplished with the purest integrity, for you had to forget in order to truly carry the light.

And so now is a time to rejoice as you go through the process of remembering who you are.

And many times you have felt regret and thought, “What was I thinking in coming here?” Because, indeed you were perhaps naive or idealistic as to how deep and compressing the density could be and the forgetting.

You were prepared before you came but each of you knew that there would be surprises, for there was no way to truly know what it would be like here. This had not ever been done before.

So now, you are linked within. You are connected to one another heart to heart, Soul to Soul. And as you live the Light of Truth, you illuminate with one another and light gets brighter and brighter as you arise from the depths into the lighter frequencies. We tell you this now so that you can feel and embody this arising – and so you can know within the fullness of your being – within your multidimensional selves – that your journey has been a beautiful success and you are experiencing the awakening into Light now. And all the lifetimes your Souls have experienced are a beautiful tapestry of emergence and acceptance. For indeed, you have experienced the density though participation in it at times and by doing so you have untied knots of despair and re-woven the tapestry with forgiveness through surrender and acceptance.

Through your direct participation you have allowed the density to move through you and you have transformed it with Love.

Each of you who reads these words wear a mantle of Light and a crown of radiance. Embody this light and know that you are soon to be at the journey’s end when you arise into the Light Realms of Love. It is so beautiful, what you have done here. And the story is not over. There is a continuation and a choice as to what pathways your journeys take you next, according to the Love and Light of your Soul as the Universe opens to receive you!

Rejoice! Redemption is at hand! The Light is rising and carrying you Home.

We are from the Realms of Light – the Watchers, the Angelic dimensions of the Galactic Councils. There is more to come as the journey continues to unfold. Feel our love, feel your heart glowing with this radiance as you awaken to your true selves and see your beautiful missions accomplished!

[This message has a soundtrack – “All You Need is Love…” On this Solstice day of darkness into Light, we bring the Light with us – amplifying this radiance as we arise.]

From the Daily Drawings, December 21, 2011

[The message continues…]

We are the Angelic beings that surround the Galactic Councils. We have been watching and praying for Humanity – for the Light Beings who came to Earth. We promised you we would never leave you and so we have held the radiance to assist you in keeping the spark of love alive within you as you dove deep into the darkness to immerse yourself in the density to change it from within. It was the only way to transform, to awaken the Human Being. You are coming to know that the darkness no longer has any power over you for you are embodying Love instead of fear. Do you not notice now, when fear comes in that you no longer react to it – that it is not able to sink its hook into you like it used to? It is like a fog that has nowhere to connect to you – as you observe it and know that it is not real. That you have a choice to choose love or fear and since the Love/Light is growing exponentially within you, the fear has nothing to attach to. Allow this to happen and grow within you. As you ask yourself “Am I OK right now?” You bring yourself the gift of the present moment and find the Beam of Love there, and then mirth arises within you as you see yourselves unfettered and free. And the realization grows that all you need is love.

Love and Beauty are with you always. You are love; you are magnificent Warriors of the Light.

We are the Angelic Emissaries of the Galactic Councils and we rejoice with you.

Unifying and Integrating the Body of Humanity

Be sharp, learn to adapt quickly. Fluctuating currents are all around us. One moment feeling inspiration, creative flow, the next moment it’s gone, and we’re like a pendulum swinging from ennui to urgency. And in the middle of all that… the holidaze…

I’ve been drawing and painting my way through the openings and swift movement. November was all about opening and moving into higher frequencies than we’ve ever been in before. Now as I look back I see a huge beam of radiant energy that was/is shining through the fields of energy right into us. This is calling us to be our truth. And so much is falling away.

Integration
We are no longer going through transitions. We are in a period of integration. Coming together. Unity. (I am working on a new website – look for Integral Soul in 2012.)

Precipice
Also, during November I kept hearing the word “Precipice” over and over. A precipice of change. It’s time to take the leap of faith and listen to the truth of our Souls. Stepping off the precipice is like falling down the rabbit hole. All of the familiar moments and things from the past are embedded in the walls of the rabbit hole. Now and then you try to grasp at something familiar but you’re moving too fast. Soon you let go, you have to let go, there’s no other way. Let go and allow this journey to be as it is. You can navigate better that way. In stillness we hear our intuition. In stillness we hear our truth. It is a fine balance between the chaos and inner stillness.

A rather stern message came through one night, which I share with you here. It was a loud male voice. I saw a man with a white beard, fierce eyes. Kind of like Uncle Sam meets God (think Sistine Chapel). Oh, and throw in a little Santa Claus, too.

Here’s the message:
Live In Love
You stand at a precipice. The evolution of consciousness is at hand. You reading this are a small cell in the organism of Humanity. You are Light. Love opens you to radiate more Light.

Go forth and amplify this light with others. Then you – as you gather together inner and outer – shine and illuminate human consciousness. This is your mission. Live in Love.

How much longer will you continue to distract yourselves with the theater of the world that has been overlaid on the consciousness of Humanity? Creating beliefs and illusions that draw you away from the Beam out onto pathways leading to separation, loneliness, fear and despair. Now is the time to rise up to listen to your inner truth. YOU CAN NO LONGER CONTINUE TO WALK THE SLEEP OF THE DEAD.

The longing you feel inside is calling you to dive deeper into the sea of consciousness. Listen to your heart.
Pay attention.
Your Soul is calling you.
Come together.
No longer can you wait for something to happen.
Now is the time to Live in Love.

Creative Flow
During the first few days of December I was really riding high – very inspired, receiving insights and creative visions that blossomed into painting and writing. Then… a corner was turned. And since Monday the energy has felt at times thick and it was difficult – if not impossible – to put the creativity in motion. Talk about fluctuation. I learned when it gets like that, to do some kind of busy work instead of trying to push the river (like finish digitizing the family photos.)

The Human Being
I’ve been thinking a lot about the Body of the Human Being. Humanity as one organic being. The Human Being. And I wonder – can I really see and feel that everyone I talk to, everyone I come in contact with, is a part of me? Can I look into their eyes and see myself? I’m trying it on. And here’s why:

On November 30th I dreamed that I was inside a living organism. I see pinks and pale browns. It’s flesh-like, folding into itself and it’s moving and I see that what is moving are actually white rings of light and small black lines and they’re moving across the flesh-like walls. And then as I look even closer, I’m drawn in to the circles of light and see that each one is a person. I see their faces and I feel their energy. It’s awesome. And we’re just there like that, each person seeing each other within this great organism. And yet there’s a feeling of separation and we all want to come back into alignment. We want to be integrated – connected. It’s just a matter of shifting ever so slightly – I’m not sure about shifting in what way – it’s somewhat beyond words. And it’s like there’s a group of beings we want to connect with. I can see them in the membrane above me and it’s like they’re trying to reach out to reconnect and at some point, something happens and we do it. We make the connection and there’s so much joy. We’re re-united! And it feels like children – there’s this childlike innocence – and yet not an immaturity. And the feeling is that in this reunification, a healthy, vibrant, empowered, conscious being is born… there’s a feeling of coming home. Reunification. Integration.

As I awoke I heard the words, “It’s a success! Reunited!” And I knew that what happened was that we all connected with one another. We made a connection; we connected to the Inner Net.

From the morning drawings, November 30, 2011

No More Snooze Button
It has come to my attention that the black lines I saw in my dream are people who are still asleep. They haven’t become aware of the Inner Net. I saw that the shining circles of light radiate outward and have the capacity, simply through radiance, to begin to spread light to those “portals” that have not felt the electromagnetic current of energy yet, which will enable them to come “on line.”

I wrote the dream down and when I was finished, the following message came through:

If there are holes in the Human Being, forces of negative polarity may fester there. You can view this from your own personal experiences – and as you begin to release and repel thought forms and false beliefs you are able to bring the Love Light in, which is the Life Force Energy, which is your Divine Source. And this Life Force Energy fills the holes and heals the breaches, just like the way a cut to your skin heals and comes together and re-establishes itself. So this happens energetically in your energy field and on a greater scale this happens in the entire Human Being.

This is how you, Humanity, learn how powerful you are -when you are united – co-creating your world in cooperation with one another.

There are those of you who are radiating light without being aware of it. When you walk through your world, in your day to day experience, you are sending out this radiance – you are like enzymes – cleaning enzymes – to help cleanse the wound that is within the Human Being – on an individual level and in the bigger picture of the living organic biological organism that is Humanity. From micro to macro this healing process works. So we say you can use a microscope or a telescope, it is the same thing… you are looking at the same elements. As above, so below.

Again we say, as we have said many times before, there will come a time when you will look into another’s eyes and see yourself looking back at you. For the Love Force Energy flows through all, no matter what part of the world you’re from or what “race” your genetic material is made up of.

Begin now the practice of seeing yourselves as co-creators – not separate from one another but in coherence… in partnership in creating the world experience. Stop criticizing yourselves and one another. Stop judging yourselves and one another.

Observe the world with acceptance of what is – for as you do this, you will be able to hear your own thoughts which will reveal to you what needs love… the balm of love and acceptance for healing.

Visionary
There will come a time when energy sources will be made available to all of humanity. Look towards that time. Feel what freedom will be like as you feel into the release from paying money for energy. Free energy.

A long time ago, the great pyramids were power generators. Inventions have been made and still exist – of machines that operate and harness free energy which is part of the electromagnetic energy of Earth. It will come to be that humanity will move into a cohesiveness where these machines will be utilized, freeing you from a prison of fear and lack.

Begin to fantasize about this. Vision it for yourselves and as you do, also imagine a world of Human Beings – each with their unique individual energetic signature – living in harmony and love with one another, walking through a beautiful harmonic blissful vibration, within the polarity of opposites, for that provides the friction to move – but still living within this high vibrational, creative energy.

Riding the Wild Surf
So now, it’s December 7 and I just had a realization: We’re in the Ocean. For most of this year, we’ve been traveling swift currents of energy – waterways, rapids, waterfalls, churning, fast water. And there have been a lot of natural life-changing occurrences involving water, which I have heard described as “Biblical.”

And today, I’m feeling like I’m in a big dip in the water. I don’t know what the technical ocean term is for that but there’s a sucking feeling … as if we are being pulled into a Great Wave. A Golden Wave. Got a surfboard?

Out of the River and Into the Sea

The ocean. That’s what the Integration is about.

I feel that the Visionary part of the message above is showing us a world where there is more harmony than there is now and where we will live very creatively within the polarity of negative and positive. I feel we will be in a time where we will be learning about our relationship to the Earth, as well as our own inner nature. Integrating with the circadian rhythm of the Earth and ourselves. So there’s work to be done, but we will be doing it from a state of grace. In the harmony of cooperation. It sounds like a very healthy organism to me.

We’re connected. This is our strength.

So, let’s go forth and amplify.

Ancestral Lineage Clearing Channeled Meditation, October 31, 2011 November 1, 2011

Posted by Nancy in Earth Energies, Expansion and healing, Meditation, Spiritual Development, Spiritual Expansion.
1 comment so far

This powerful meditation came through on my Monday Channeled Meditation on Halloween and I would like to share it with you at this time of honoring our Ancestors.

We are in a time of acceleration, where waves of high vibrational frequencies are flowing through the Universe and through our Solar System, affecting our Sun, our planet and ourselves. This is helping to lift us out of 3D into higher dimensions. As we undergo this process, dense energy is being released from our energy bodies (spiritual, mental, emotional and physical). This includes energy that has been accumulated through our Ancestral Lineage. So as we uncover and release blocks and restrictions, we are releasing false beliefs and patterns that have been held at the Ancestral level.

Have you had negative thoughts that have persisted all your life? Have you come to realize that these thoughts are not yours? This guided meditation and channeling will help you to release the density of false beliefs and patterns, all the way down through your ancestral lineage. You may meet an ancestor or two who will most likely thank you and assist you in this process. As we do this, we are clearing energies for the Earth, because the Earth holds the Akashic records for all the time lines that happen here. As we do this clearing work for our ancestral lineage, we are literally changing the “past” and assisting in the creation of the new Earth!

I begin the meditation process by helping you tune in to the Light within you, which is the Divine Creator Source energy. Then we ground our energy into the Earth and circulate the Earth energy through our energy bodies. We call upon the Divine Creator energy from the Cosmos, bringing it into us, enhancing the Light within. We fill our energy bodies with the Earth and Cosmic energy. By this point, you will be in a high vibrational meditative, receptive state and my collaborators, the Vastness of Being, join the circle to take us on the journey.

I hope you enjoy the gift of this channeled meditation. (55 minutes long.)

Live in Love

This simple message is being sent deep into the hearts of those who wish to receive and stay in the high vibrational frequencies. To hold the vibration, you bring yourself into the vibration of love. Live in Love. This practice transforms the habitual energies of fear and worry into love. You know you can shift your vibration in an instant. You have been shown this and you have practiced this. So we remind you to keep up the good “play” and no matter what is going on, bring yourself into the frequency of love.

Sometimes you are operating on auto pilot and you forget to shift your energy. Perhaps you’re feeling impatient, angry, frustrated and you radiate those frequencies out into the situation you’re in and to the other human beings you are interacting with. Some time later, you look back and see how edgy you were. In those moments of retrospection, you can access the frequency of love and beam it back to that moment which appears to be in the past. Love will act as a healing balm, giving yourself what you weren’t able to receive at the time. This will fill the frequency of energy you were vibrating in (such as frustration, anger, annoyance, worry) with sustenance, love force energy, so that the next time you move into that frequential band of energy, which compresses and squeezes you, there will be another vibration contained there and your memory will awaken to remind you to stop, take a moment and find the frequency of love once again. You feel your heart open and the tightness releases.

This energy is within you at all times, it never leaves you. It is up to you to practice finding it and allowing it to flow throughout your entire being – throughout all your energy bodies (spirit, mental, emotional and physical).

Wild Horses
Being on Earth at this time may feel like riding a wild horse that is going through deep and profound change. The phenomena of nature seems to take on biblical proportions through weather, earthquakes and volcanoes. As you observe the wild nature you have an opportunity to tune into the wildness and feel the joy and freedom there. This energy is moving through your physical bodies as well. Adjustments are being made within the earth and within your energy bodies. These adjustments are being felt within you as the energy moves through your spirit, mental, emotional and, finally, physical body.

Inflammation
It takes the physical a longer time to catch up with the high vibration. Many of you have been having health issues with your physical bodies as a byproduct of upholding the higher vibration. Inflammation is at the center of these health issues. Inflammation is related to anger and frustration. This inflammation has to do with feeling that there’s not enough room within your physical body for all this high vibrational energy. It is as if you are trying to grow within a limited structure.

As you are expanding by leaps and bounds in the spiritual energy body, there is much frustration that the mental, emotional and physical is taking a “long time” to catch up. Gentleness, softness, doing what you feel in the moment, nurturing yourselves in whatever way you can, will help you move through the dimensional shift with grace.

The Void
Spending moments in the void will help to release inflammation. The void is a place of nothingness you can navigate your way to in meditative moments. It is a place where you let go of caring about anything… you release the desire to “save the world.” Let it all go into the stillness of the void.

We wish for you to see, feel and experience your physical bodies as perfection. Tune into your commitment for being here in your body on the body of Earth at this time… in this timeline of miraculous change as the Earth and humanity shift into 5th dimensional beingness in the conscious evolution party.

Believe in Your Sovereignty
We understand the frustration many of you are going through – you the Lightworkers who have been carrying and holding the higher vibrations for so many years. You who never fully bought into the structural constraints of society – the socio-political and religious order that was presented to you from the time you were born. It seemed like the only option, but deep within, you knew there were other perspectives.

You have moved against the current, following instead a deeper current in your hearts… listening to the rhythm of pulsations that sing of freedom. This rhythm moved within you and often you felt like you didn’t belong here, that you were somehow wrong for not flowing with the mainstream. You may have felt like an outcast or a “loser” because you found it difficult to play the game. And now at this time of the world many have found ways to assist in turning the tide of consciousness into conscious awareness.

Still, you may sometimes feel as if the support of Spirit or the Universe is not with you as you feel unseen or unheard in the vastness of the void. Please understand that you are still moving forward into the darkness … you are still forerunners following the love in your heart as you move ever forward into the unknown of the Void. And we watchers of the unfoldment can only stand on the sidelines praying for you, sending our love with you. We in the non physical, or in other dimensions are here to encourage you to keep tuning in to love and sharing your wisdom and taking restful moments in the void. Letting it all go and be-ing. You will find so much inner strength and courage, for you have come so far and you know you do not want to give up now when you are so close to breaking through into the endless fields of Light, love, joy… bliss… ecstasy.

Sound the Clarion Call
Addressing the frustration a little more deeply, there are still many people on earth who are sleepwalking, or trying to maintain the status quo, which is dissolving. We know that many of you feel you can no longer do this… carry this high energy “alone” (you are never alone, of course, although it may feel that way at times). We remind you of the Unity… the Oneness… that is your true nature. Yes indeed, human beings are a collective consciousness. Each of your unique vibrations enliven the entire Being of Humanity.

So it is helpful for you to tune in to one another in your meditations, as well as finding each other in the outer world. Call your tribe to you and reach out into the world – pray to Spirit to guide you to finding your people. Gather together to raise up the energy. And in your meditations, send the vibration and Light of Love and awakening out through the network of light – the web of the Inner Net. Call to your brothers and sisters to awaken… to listen to their hearts.

You communicate telepathically all the time; begin to do it consciously by sending out an inner Clarion Call to Humanity to awaken to the truth of their being. Send out prayers, intentions for Love to awaken within … the alarm clock is sounding and there is no longer a snooze button! All are being called to awaken and those of you who have been upholding the Light and the Higher energies can send it forth for inner awakening for all.

Evolution of Consciousness
You stand at the precipice. The evolution of consciousness is at hand. You reading this are a small cell in the organism of humanity. You are Light – Love opens you to radiate more Light. Go forth and amplify!

Transformation

Small Sprite

September 7, 2011

In late August, as I was writing the article below, an earthquake shook the Eastern coast of North America. A very unusual event for this region which amplified the sense of unreality I’d been feeling for weeks. A day after the earthquake my mother in Florida had a stroke and was hospitalized. (She’s back home now and recovering very well.) And then, three days later, Hurricane Irene came through the region where I live. The great winds that were expected weren’t as intense as the rain which caused severe flooding. My road was washed away and many towns have been ravaged – some literally wiped out. The powerful force of water has rearranged the landscape – inner and outer. As I feel myself to be within the flowing waters of change, I am reminded to amplify the practice of gratitude and appreciation. (For information about how to help flood experiencers, go here: https://www.facebook.com/#!/SaveTheCatskills.)

I’ve noticed in myself – and heard reports from other people – that there’s a feeling of ennui that many are experiencing. Feeling unmotivated, as if we’re swirling around in an eddy of energy, not going anywhere, just spinning in the same spot. To move out of this, I am receiving messages to do what is fun, what makes me feel good.

In my meditation this morning I was floating around, attempting to bring Light into my being and nothing was happening. Then I just focused on my breath and suddenly found the light within me. Ah yes, I remembered messages that have come through during my Monday channeling telecalls that the Light is within us. That is were we need to go to find ourselves. So as I focused my attention on this Light, it began to grow within me and to spread through my physical energy body and radiate outward. Aah, there I am, I thought to myself, as I found my center. Connecting with our center, the stillpoint within, may need some extra vigilance to maintain at this time, as we ride the wild energies of Nature. Connecting with each other in group gatherings will also help us to stabilize as we are carried along in the chaotic energies of change.

There is such an acceleration happening now all over the world with continued humanitarian uprisings and much upheaval due to nature. In this year, many people have experienced transformation in their lives due to wild winds, wild water and wild fires, in addition to massive shifting of the earth through earthquakes and volcanoes. I saw a friend a few days after the hurricane who said “Stay in the wonderment,” as we parted company. Her words have become a mantra to me. The wonderment of wild, powerful nature, which includes the consciousness of humanity, for all are connected. We see this more and more as energetic and physical structures of separation collapse around us.

Nature is our Mirror
The nature of the earth is being reflected in the nature of humanity. What needs to change will change. I have witnessed big shifts and changes in relationships as some people blow significant others out of their lives. Not always gentle endings but explosive blasts of emotion as if they are embodying the energy of hurricanes, earthquakes, wildfires. So as we deal with our personal tsunamis, we need to do our best to continue to stay on the beam of love that shines through the multi-dimensions that we exist within. For the last few months, we have been bumping up and down in our Life Boats on a fast moving current of energy that has been compressing us through a channel, which is like a birth canal. And now it feels like we’re in a holding pattern, waiting for the next contraction to push us forward.

This explains the feeling of being stuck in an eddy, just swirling around in a circle. The feeling of ennui can be a resting place, a time to practice being in the moment and maintaining inner stillness. It’s also a time to nurture ourselves and listen to our hearts, doing only that which we really want to do. The energies are building, gathering strength, for what, we do not know, but many people have been saying they feel like they’re waiting for the other shoe to drop. The practice of being in the vibration of love and acceptance, loving ourselves and being in gratitude and appreciation, will help us to weather whatever the next wave of energy brings forth.

We also need to practice surrender at this time. There are some things we can do nothing about and surrendering to the experience keeps us in the flow, trusting in the prevailing winds of love.

Surrender
From the Daily Drawings, July 19, 2011

What follows are messages I’ve been receiving in the past month.

A pause… the in breath…
Gathering energies swirl on the horizon like a wavering mirage

Lately, my guides have been communicating to me through inner visions. These visions carry frequencies of information that expand into thought and feelings in an instant of knowing. One such vision showed me the Milky Way Galaxy with Light radiating out of the center. The vision then expanded to show me a vaster viewpoint with Light shining through the center of every Galaxy in the Universe. Science tells us that at the center of every Galaxy is a black hole. My guides tell me that the center of every galaxy contains a portalway to other Universes. Light from beyond our Universe is shining forth and the radiance is spreading and expanding all it touches. It is as if the membrane of our Universe has holes in it that are being opened by an intelligent consciousness, which is the Radiance of the Light of Truth of the Christ Consciousness.

This has been illuminating our lives, for many years, inviting us to expand our vision of the world, to clear away what isn’t our personal truth and to make the necessary changes in our lives in order to embody our Soul Essence, which is our truth. So many people are restructuring their lives at this time. Those who choose to consciously re-structure their lives are affecting those who want to maintain the status quo, for as one makes changes, the ripple effect goes out and touches all. And the nature of Earth is restructuring our lives, as well.

Star Light
This light shining into our Universe is being absorbed by the stars, which are pulsating with the higher frequencies that travel upon the light waves. There is a great rhythmic cadence taking place throughout our Universe, just as we live within circadian rhythms of changing seasons on Planet Earth and just as the birds know when to fly North or South, and animals know when to mate or hibernate, there is a galactic and universal rhythm and we humans are part of that rhythm.

This is the time of the Great Awakening and all of us are being called to live our truth. After thousands of years of mind control and lies that have been fed to us and our ancestors, the truth is rising from within us. Codes of awakening are lighting us up from deep within our genetic matrix. How we experience this awakening is up to us. “Live vibrantly” is something a friend who is moving through many challenges said to me recently. We participate in expanding the rhythm of Truth by living it ourselves.

Our Souls’ life “expressions” are culminating in this timeline
Due to a misunderstanding of time, we refer to the lives our Souls have expressed through as “past” lives. Actually, our Souls are radiating awareness out into several different timelines at once. These other lifetimes are culminating within us in the current timeline we are in now. When we flow into the channel of the birth canal, all of our Soul’s lives are being compressed into our awareness in this current timeline. This is part of the Great Shift we are participating in. That is why, during “past life” regression sessions, we have opportunities to come to a healing and integration of trauma from the life or lives we are bringing into our awareness. By doing clearing practices we can release negative or dense energy held at the Soul level, that influences destructive patterns in our lives. This allows us to embody our soul essence completely by integrating all the other lifetimes our Souls have experienced.

Heroic Human Beings
The destructive patterns that have accumulated in our Soul’s energetic field are not our natural way of being; they are energetic codes that were implanted into our energy fields through illusions held in the collective consciousness which led to false beliefs of fear and limitation. We are powerful creator beings who consciously decided as a group to go through the illusional experience of losing our connection to Divinity, and then make the journey back home to the truth of our being. As we continue to disable these codes through conscious intention, awareness, and our natural drive towards love, we rise in consciousness into our multidimensionality, embodying our Soul Essence more completely.

As humanity awakens and each person embodies their truth, we will become more and more empowered into living as sovereign beings, free and heroic, expressing the creative essence of our genius on the Earth.

Helios… our beautiful star…
The high frequency of energy coming from the galactic center of the Milky Way is beaming deep into Helios, causing activations that lead to solar flares and other solar emissions. This energy is then pulsed out into our solar system affecting every planet. Down here on Earth, the radiance is going into the core of the earth and heating up the energy there. When I place my attention into the Earth I feel and see a lot of heat and churning energy. The essence of this energy is rising to the surface, causing the earth to move and causing extreme weather anomalies. We are connected through consciousness and energy to All That Is. This energy is moving through our lives, so in effect, the energy or Light coming through the Galactic Center lights up the sun which lights up the Earth which lights up us. And so we are seeing many changes and realignments in our lives as this Radiance calls us to our Truth.

The Chakras
The seven major chakras – actually I’d like to count 9 major chakras including our Earth Star chakra and our Cosmic Star chakra. I see these two chakras as stars of light, one beneath our feet in the Earth and the other above our heads in the ethers. These energy vortices are where our life force energy, which is our Spiritual Essence, connects with the physical. So as we continue to clear our energy fields of untruth (represented by false beliefs), we are making room for our Soul Essence to dwell more completely in our physical body. Our Soul Essence connects energetically into the vortices of our chakra system. Not just in the major chakras, but in all the smaller energetic vortices that exist in the etheric energy around our physical bodies.

And so, we are lighting up from within. The Divine Life force energy has always been within us, it was dimmed over the centuries through the lies that have become what we think of as our history. Be prepared to have your mind blown as more and more information comes to the surface illuminating the lies and manipulation that we have come to believe as truth – such as the true origin of humanity… the extraterrestrial influences that have existed on this planet and contribute to our DNA… the influences of religions that have kept us from knowing ourselves as expressions of Divine Source.

Truth Out
All structures built upon lies are collapsing. As we witness a rearrangement in our lives and the lives of those around us, so that we can live authentically, we are also witnessing the Truth OUT phenomena happening in governments, political arena, economics, religion, science and the medical establishment. We are in a time of chaos where all these aspects are churning.

The Beingness of Love

The frequency of love is becoming our ultimate truth. I’m talking about freedom, joy, bliss, ecstasy, without conditions, constraints or strings attached. The Beingness of Love. I see this energy, this Light that is radiating from the center of all Galaxies as the frequency of love.

All that is of a lower vibration will not be able to survive in this high frequency.

As the untruth falls away, feelings of panic can shake us up from within. If you can see this experience as the high vibrational light coming into your being and activating your chakra system, you will be able to surrender to the experience… breathe into the panic, bring your focus to your heart and see yourself on a wild ride through the rapids on the river of Consciousness – as you journey through the white waters in your Life Boat.

Sink holes and mine fields
Our journey carries us through mine fields of sink holes that teach us to maintain and grow the love within us, which is our essence of Divine Source. These sink holes can be seen as open wounds in our mental and emotional energy fields. They resonate with the energy of our “injuries” in life and also with ancestral wounding. If there’s something in our vibration that still needs healing, we will be drawn to the energies of the sinkhole.

It’s a beautiful experience when you feel yourself being drawn towards a sink hole of old dense feelings, and you stay conscious in your truth, finding your stillpoint and releasing into the vibration of love and well-being. When you do this, you feel yourself dissolving the electromagnetic connection to the energy of the sinkhole and you are lifted up and away from its influence. You can see it rapidly receding as you flow in the current of the Great River of Consciousness. And trust that the love that you resonated with is clearing and healing the sink hole. And when that happens, it’s like the100th monkey effect, clearing and healing all the sink holes that held the energy of the particular wounding you loved yourself out of.

No matter where we’re at on our journey, when we love ourselves and surrender to the moment, we realize who we truly are. It’s the self criticism, the lack of acceptance, the endless mind-talk of what’s wrong with us that punches holes in our lifeboats. As we release what is not our truth, we strengthen our lifeboats – trusting and accepting ourselves.

Rebirth

Rebirth
From the Daily Drawings August 10, 2011

Radiance: the Big Picture
The Light of awakening that is pulsing out of the Galactic Center of the Milky Way, is helping us to integrate and embody the essence of the Christ Consciousness. What I am being shown is that at some point we are to receive a blast of Light that we will expand us into complete one-ness. We need to be ready for that… I think that’s what the ascension looks and feels like. A complete surrender into the Light in which we will experience ourselves to be at one with All of Life in multi-dimensions and multiple Universes. It might be just a flash and an experience of expansion, and then we’ll be back in the physical but in a more expansive dimension where love and bliss are within and without us and we know ourselves to be connected to one another and All That Is, dissolving all feelings of separation. It takes an open, light heart to be able to maintain that state. The challenge is that the light reveals what we fear within us. Witnessing and accepting the fear whenever it shows up is a way of continually moving into surrender, forgiveness, acceptance and love, which keeps us in the light. The Light is so all encompassing; it lifts us up in an embrace of ecstasy.

Reach out to one another, making heart to heart connections. Gather together and amplify the energy and remember to stay in the Wonderment!

Acceleration

Small Sprite

Greetings!

We are in a fast moving current that carries high vibrational energies of refinement. My guides have said we are now in the Olympics of spiritual expansion. Many have been clearing their energy fields for 20 years or more. The acceleration has been gently moving us forward, however in the last 11 years the energy has been moving faster and faster, raising the vibration of Earth and all life forms exponentially.

Each of us has chosen an energetic trajectory that is in resonance with our greatest vision for our lives. Whether we make this choice consciously or unconsciously, the individual currents we are in are part of a greater flow that is gaining momentum. Layers of our reality are expanding, coming into our understanding as we let go of false perceptions and beliefs. We have the outer world of form, our inner world of emotions and thought patterns and a deeper reality where we are linked energetically with one another, moving within currents of energy that ride and flow along within the Great River of Consciousness. At this moment the Great River is flowing through a sluice – a channel for conducting energy. There’s a pulsation to this passage that sometimes may feel like compression and at other times pushes us forward. Hmm, sounds like the birth canal, doesn’t it?

Creative Energy
A gift of this acceleration is that our creativity is supported through listening to our hearts and tuning in to our innocence. One of my intentions is to listen to what I call the “call of the wild” – the creative impulse that calls within me to paint and draw. As part of this I have begun doing a drawing a day – first thing in the morning – it’s just a quick five or ten minute mindful meditation practice. Below are two images that recently came through that seem to pertain to our rebirthing experience:

Deep Listening
This acceleration is bringing deep changes to our lives on many levels. It is important for us to be gentle with ourselves by listening within and acknowledging what we’re feeling. We are becoming adept at going with the flow and allowing for sudden changes or shifting, noticing that when our plans change, it works out for the best for all concerned. It’s often difficult to plan ahead and feels better to stay in the now, when we can, and allow for events to unfold within our intensions. Not to be passive, but to listen to our hearts regarding where we go and what we do. Going against our feelings and inner truth is becoming unbearable and when we resist our truth, we have much difficulty moving forward.

Refinement
For the last year or so we have been bathed with the platinum ray, a high vibrational energy of refinement. As we journey through the passageway of transition, this energy assists us in releasing what isn’t our truth at deeper and deeper levels, preparing us for the moment of rebirth as we journey through the channel that is leading us out into the Realm of Light.

Love Saves the Day
As we absorb the high vibrational energy into our Spirit Body, it filters into our mental, emotional and physical bodies. We can consciously work with this energy to lift ourselves out of the great untruth that has been keeping humanity in density. Fear is the density. Love lifts us out of density and when we cultivate the vibration of love and intend to embody it in every moment of our lives; we become more aware of the aspects of density that still cling to us. Conscious awareness helps us to integrate and dissolve whatever is pulling us down into lower vibrational frequencies.

We are Light Beings
Take a moment to look back to where you were in the early 2000s. See how much you have changed in those 11 years. Appreciate how far you have come, how much you’ve let go and integrated, and the wisdom you have gained.

In the earlier stages of our journey, we were guided to bring Divine Light into our awareness, into our energy bodies in meditation visualizations. What we were doing was igniting the Light within us. That Light is now a constant – the Golden Light of the truth of who we are is shining within us. Feel the glow and use your breath to allow it to grow brighter and brighter until it fills your physical body and radiates outward into your energy field. Then, as you think and feel into what you want to create in your life, you send a beam of light out into the resonant field of all possibilities. The beam magnetizes to the harmonic resonance you are vibrating at and draws in to your energy bodies the experiences that are in harmony with your creative dreams.

Light Has Gained Critical Mass
For those who are just beginning their journey into awakening, you are going through an extreme acceleration. What once took several years to shift, you are doing in weeks, even days. As you absorb the high energies that are enveloping the Earth like a comforting soothing blanket of acceptance, you are feeling your truth and what is not your truth is becoming more and more unacceptable. Know that you are supported by Divine Source as you create the changes that are necessary to live your Truth. Restructuring is required. Have courage and know that you are much more – miltidimensionally speaking – than you have realized.

Please know that you are not “late” in the game. All is in Divine Timing. Those who are awakening now were doing a service in the last many years of keeping the greater amount of human energy grounded into 3D as others rose into the higher dimensions and paved the pathways of Light for all who are called to follow. This was necessary in order to allow the energies to gradually be integrated by more and more of humanity. You have passed beyond critical mass into holding Light and Consciousness. Congratulations!

Embodying the Truth of your Soul
As each person sheds untruth from their energy bodies, a light of awareness is radiated outward on the web of light that connects all humans. When this happens, the resonance of this release and acceleration is received by other people who then allow a piece of their own discord to be integrated and dissolved, thereby radiating even more light into the web. And so Humanity rises into Truth.

What does this mean, your Truth? It is the essence of you, your unique vibration… your energy signature. To go a little further, this is the energy of your Soul, or Higher Self. As we clear our energy fields we make room for the essence of our Higher Self to come into our embodiment. Energetically, our Higher Self connects to us through our chakra system. From the inside out we radiate the refined, elegant energy of our Souls.

What we have been and are continuing to clear is the untruth that has shrouded humanity in darkness. We are not only enlightening this density in our own lives, but we are sending the light through our genetic ancestral lines, thereby releasing the darkness that shrouded our ancestors.

We are clearing the energy for the Human Race, awakening to the Collective Consciousness – One Light – of Humanity.

Power to the People!

This message is a collaboration of myself and the wise Arcturian Watchers, The Vastness of Being. With respect I offer these insights to you.

Namaste
