THE CHOICE: LOVE, OR MONEY?

I know for everyone it's been a heck of a summer ... between the Heat, the Fires, the EQ's, the lack of money, the crazy politics here and abroad, the solar flares, the poisons in our Food, Water and Air, the changes we are feeling in our bodies and minds ... many relationships are ending, or about to end, badly as a result of the stress. Folks, is that the price you are willing to trade to contin

ue supporting a System that is geared towards your demise, rather than support and nurture the life of your dreams?

The focus is on The Choice: Choose what is most important to you, is valued over all else - LOVE OR MONEY. From my own recent experiences, the obvious choice is Love, Aloha. Why does everyone think of Hawai'i as the great vacation escape? It's because everyone feels the Aloha Spirit there, and Living the Aloha lifestyle makes everyone feel good. Then, everyone grumbles that they have to return to a home filled with stress and money problems. (And, probably planning how to pay off for that vacation by working overtime, etc. - time away from the people you love.) WHY, when all you needed to do was change your perspective in the here and now??

Don't act like you don't understand my meaning here, because you do. Choosing not to look at the Big Picture is your Ego dictating a command to ignore what resonates in your Heart. Time to take responsibility for yourself, instead of laying the blame on everything outside of yourself.

There is a better way of BEing ... Be good to yourself by taking the time to meditate on what is bugging you ... give yourself the space to breathe ... and to SEE that the things that matter most ... the things that make you smile and your heart SING ... are always centered around LOVE. BE ALOHA and choose LOVE.

TEN WAYS TO CELEBRATE THE AUTUMN -- MABON SEASON

In one month, Mabon will mark the time of the Autumn Equinox and the harvest winding down. The fields are nearly bare, because the crops have been stored for the coming winter. Mabon is a time when we take a few moments to honor the changing seasons, and celebrate the second harvest. 

On or around September 21, for many Pagan and Wiccan traditions it is a time of giving thanks for the things we 

have, whether it is abundant crops or other blessings. It is also a time of balance and reflection, following the theme of equal hours light and dark. Here are some ways you and your family can celebrate this season of bounty and abundance.

1. Find Some Balance

Mabon is a time of balance, when there are equal hours of darkness and light, and that can affect people in different ways. For some, it's a season to honor the darker aspects of the goddess, calling upon that which is devoid of light. For others, it's a time of thankfulness, of gratitude for the abundance we have at the season of harvest. Because this is, for many people, a time of high energy, there is sometimes a feeling of restlessness in the air, a sense that something is just a bit "off". If you're feeling a bit spiritually lopsided, with this simple meditation you can restore a little balance into your life. You can also try a ritual to bring balance and harmony to your home.

2. Hold a Food Drive

Many Pagans and Wiccans count Mabon as a time of thanks and blessings -- and because of that, it seems like a good time to give to those less fortunate than ourselves. If you find yourself blessed with abundance at Mabon, why not give to those who aren't? Invite friends over for a feast, but ask each of them to bring a canned food, dry goods, or other non-perishable items? Donate the collected bounty to a local food bank or homeless shelter.

3. Pick Some Apples

Apples are the perfect symbol of the Mabon season. Long connected to wisdom and magic, there are so many wonderful things you can do with an apple. Find an orchard near you, and spend a day with your family. As you pick the apples, give thanks to Pomona, goddess of fruit trees. Be sure to only pick what you're going to use -- if you can, gather plenty to take home and preserve for the coming winter months. Take your apples home and use them in rituals, for divination, and for delicious recipes that your family can enjoy all season long.

4. Count Your Blessings

Mabon is a time of giving thanks, but sometimes we take our fortune for granted. Sit down and make a gratitude list. Write down things that you are thankful for. An attitude of gratefulness helps bring more abundance our way -- what are things you're glad you have in your life? Maybe it's the small things, like "I'm glad I have my cat Peaches" or "I'm glad my car is running." Maybe it's something bigger, like "I'm thankful I have a warm home and food to eat" or "I'm thankful people love me even when I'm cranky." Keep your list some place you can see it, and add to it when the mood strikes you.

5. Honor the Darkness

Without darkness, there is no light. Without night, there can be no day. Despite a basic human need to overlook the dark, there are many positive aspects to embracing the dark side, if it's just for a short time. After all, it was Demeter's love for her daughter Persephone that led her to wander the world, mourning for six months at a time, bringing us the death of the soil each fall. In some paths, Mabon is the time of year that celebrates the Crone aspect of a triune goddess. Celebrate a ritual that honors that aspect of the Goddess which we may not always find comforting or appealing, but which we must always be willing to acknowledge. Call upon the gods and goddesses of the dark night, and ask for their blessings this time of year.

6. Get Back to Nature

Fall is here, and that means the weather is bearable once more. The nights are becoming crisp and cool, and there's a chill in the air. Take your family on a nature walk, and enjoy the changing sights and sounds of the outdoors. Listen for geese honking in the sky above you, check the trees for changing in the colors of the leaves, and watch the ground for dropped items like acorns, nuts, and seed pods. If you live in an area that doesn't have any restrictions on removing natural items from park property, take a small bag with you and fill it up with the things you discover along the way. Bring your goodies home for your family's altar. If you are prohibited from removing natural items, fill your bag with trash and clean up the outdoors!

7. Tell Timeless Stories

In many cultures, fall was a time of celebration and gathering. It was the season in which friends and relatives would come from far and near to get together before the cold winter kept them apart for months at a time. Part of this custom was storytelling. Learn the harvest tales of your ancestors or of the people indigenous to the area in which you live. A common theme in these stories is the cycle of death and rebirth, as seen in the planting season. Learn about the stories of Osiris, Mithras, Dionysius, Odin and other deities who have died and then restored to life.

8. Raise Some Energy

It's not uncommon for Pagans and Wiccans to make remarks regarding the "energy" of an experience or event. If you're having friends or family over to celebrate Mabon with you, you can raise group energy by working together. A great way to do this is with a drum or music circle. Invite everyone to bring drums, rattles, bells, or other instruments. Those who don't have an instrument can clap their hands. Begin in a slow, regular rhythm, gradually increasing the tempo until it reaches a rapid pace. End the drumming at a pre-arranged signal, and you'll be able to feel that energy wash over the group in waves. Another way of raising group energy is chanting, or with dance. With enough people, you can hold a Spiral Dance.

9. Celebrate Hearth & Home

As autumn rolls in, we know we'll be spending more time indoors in just a few months. Take some time to do a fall version of spring cleaning. Physically clean your home from top to bottom, and then do a ritual smudging. Use sage or sweetgrass, or asperge with consecrated water as you go through your home and bless each room. Decorate your home with symbols of the harvest season, and set up a family Mabon altar. Put sickles, scythes and bales of hay around the yard. Collect colorful autumn leaves, gourds and fallen twigs and place them in decorative baskets in your house. If you have any repairs that need to be done, do them now so you don't have to worry about them over the winter. Throw out or give away anything that's no longer of use.

10. Welcome the Gods of the Vine

Grapes are everywhere, so it's no surprise that the Mabon season is a popular time to celebrate winemaking, and deities connected to the growth of the vine. Whether you see him as Bacchus, Dionysus, the Green Man, or some other vegetative god, the god of the vine is a key archetype in harvest celebrations. Take a tour of a local winery and see what it is they do this time of year. Better yet, try your hand at making your own wine! If you're not into wine, that's okay -- you can still enjoy the bounty of grapes, and use their leaves and vines for recipes and craft projects. However you celebrate these deities of vine and vegetation, you may want to leave a small offering of thanks as you reap the benefits of the grape harvest.

Enjoy the Bounty of this Autumn season today! Blessed Be!

12 STAGES OF LIGHTBODY ASCENSION

12 STAGES OF LIGHTBODY ASCENSION

1. First level : When the body drops density it commonly displays mutational symptoms of flu, headaches, diarrhea, rashes, muscle and joint aches Most flu epidemics are actually Light epidemics! Brain chemistry changes, right and left brain functions blend and the pituitary and pineal glands begin to change in size. The DNA structure and chemical components begin to change and pick up extra hydrogen atoms and chemicals that the cells need to take undifferentiated higher Light and break it down into useable Light encodements for the DNA.

2. Second level -the etheric blueprint floods with light and releases karmic experiences, individuals may feel disoriented as well as experience of 'bouts of flu'.  Many begin to question "why am I here". Light in the etheric blueprint releases 4th dimensional structure and causes spins in the geometries of the emotional, mental and spiritual bodies.  Change is rapid and many feel tired.

3. Third level -physical senses become much stronger. Your bodies not only absorb Light for its own change but also acts as a transducer - decoder of higher light energies to the planet as a whole. The process of the in-breath is now irreversible, like an elastic band that has been stretched to maximum capacity, been let go of and will return to its natural state.

4. Fourth level -major changes are in the brain and its chemistry and electromagnetic energies - symptoms are often headaches, blurry vision, loss of hearing and sometimes chest pains. Crystal regulators in the etheric body keep lines of light within the 5th dimensional blueprint from connecting again until you are ready. Chest pains are due to the expanding energies of the heart as it opens to deeper levels. Vision and hearing are being realigned to function differently. The mental body begins to wonder if it really is in charge and individuals get strong unexplainable and undeniable urges to follow spirit without hesitation. Individuals may get lashes of telepathy, clairvoyance and nearly all begin to experience empathy. This is a time of feeling, of honoring and accepting and validating the emotional body and learning to control it.

5. Fifth level -the mental body decides to tune to spirit, dreams change and may become more 'lucid', you get feelings of de ja vu. Thought processes become non linear.  Being's oscillate between knowing and doubt. We realize the habitual nature of thinking and behavior and look at de-programming and re-programming to create the "I" we wish to be, not the "I" we thought we were from our interaction with parents, peers and society etc. Change seems to be constant and we consciously begin to discern from our heart rather than judge from 'conditioned responses'.

6. Sixth level -we draw to us others for mutual support and stimulation of growth. We question what is real, our mental process and how we identify with others and ourselves changes rapidly. Re-evaluation may be uncomfortable but we feel it must be done - we look at our relationships, jobs, home environment, living styles, it is a time of letting go, of moving on.We change our friends, everything feels to be in a state of flux but we feel lighter, vaster, freer somehow.  By this stage the Light quotient in our being is 33% - we feel as though we are opening up our inner senses and clairvoyance, clairaudience etc. seem normal and natural to us.

7. Seventh level -the heart chakra opens more, we become more 'real' with other emotions, we just have to be ourselves! We release blocks and old patterns - it is a time of great emotional clearing and great intensity as we seek to rid ourselves of emotional baggage. We feel more in tune with each moment, feeling very present and flowing with life.

Often old relationships end or change rapidly as Being's dig deep and honour their feelings - there is simply no room for denial on any level. We begin to lose emotional attachment to others. Chest pains (angina) are more common as the heart continues to open its energy fields. (Doing the Unified chakra meditation will assist in the heart opening). Fear at this time is released as the energy fields of all the bodies are realigned through the heart and when aligned, fear drops away. Pressure at the forehead or back or the head is due to the opening of the pituitary and pineal glands as they absorb more light, when these glands are fully open, activated and functioning at the highest level, aging and death cease. When the pineal gland is fully open we experience multi-dimensionality yet duality seems to increase as we leave it behind. Some days we feel connected and joyous, others we are in fear and caught up in survival issues. Many wish to 'ascend' and leave the planet as we sense the very real possibility of ascension through our deepening connection with spirit. As we learn to follow our joy, we may then want to 'save the planet' and have everyone follow their joy. ALL are stages of progression and reflect our changing perception.

Dietary wise, you feel to eat less, more light, live food -many at this stage have ceased to eat meat, sugar and drink alcohol as they 'feel' the effects of these substances on the vibrational fields of the body.

8. Eighth level -we see the Master in all and purely wish to be of service - we leave the 'saving and rescuing' mode behind in favor of the desire to serve Divine Will. The pineal and pituitary glands change shape, if headaches persist ask the Being's who are working with you to simply 'tone it down' for they don't feel pain, or ask them to release endorphin's - the brains natural opiate. The brain is being activated - particularly the cerebrum, the 'sleeping giant'.

Cranial expansion is common; triangular 'seed crystals' in the brow and recorder crystals in the right side of the brain are activated along with the 8th, 9th and 10th chakras. We begin to be hooked into the languages of Light. The pituitary and pineal glands are opened fully and work together to create the 'Arc of the Covenant', a rainbow light that arcs over the top of the head to the third eye that is a decoding mechanism for higher dimensional language. You may find it hard to find words to express yourself as you may think in geometries and tones. If confused do the unified chakra meditation and ask for messages to be decoded and translated. Again you become much more aware of the vastness and multi-dimensionality of your nature, that you can be anything that you want to be, you cease to operate from obligation and relationships become transpersonal. You share words from your heart and soul and others may feel disorientated when dealing with you as they no longer have 'hooks' into you to link with. You operate from a deep level of serenity with heightened sensitivity and awareness yet feel grounded and transformed. By this stage, it is possible to be sustained purely by Light and prana, to take no nourishment from the atmospheric realms and to be healthily sustained by the etheric.

9. Ninth level -decoding geometries and toning is easier, spirit is using the languages of light which shift the 6th dimensional blueprint into a new template for your 5th dimensional Lightbody. Your body may change shape as the energy fields shift.

You feel interconnected to all Being's everywhere and less connected to the opinions of others. You release the desire for and the energy to sustain the 'game of separation and limitation' and feel truly free. The 9th level sees a mass descension of the Lightbody into physical form. As with the 3rd and 6th, this level sees a strong re-evaluation as we begin the final surrender to Spirit and we truly become the Divine instrument. Here Spirit determines our income, our work, other being's in our lives, everything.

This is the dissolution of the ego-self and while ecstatic, it can be most painful.

Making the leap can be fearful even though we have evolved through eons of time to reach this point. We may go back and forth, clinging to old comfort zones before completely letting go - there is no turning back and all must be released. 9th level is surrender and then ecstasy; the letting go of the "I" - we realize that while free will is real it is also an illusion as it only there to guide us and to empower us to be One with Spirit. Survival fears leave - focus in on the Now at one-at-ment.

Though fears may surface, they seem unreal and are easily put aside. We tend to disconnect from consensus reality and our choices and reality seem unreal to others. From the 7th, 8th and 9th the inner light noticeably radiates out and by now you feel unbelievably grounded, connected, centered, filled with purpose and desiring only to serve. For awhile you may slip between the 8th & 9th, from feeling complete at-one-ment to being ' a limited human being' again, this settles down by the end of the 9th level. You then continually feel connected and operate from your Christ level and your intention and motivation is always for the highest, although others, due to their own inner triggers and issues, may not always choose to see that. The 9th is where we begin to hook up to our I AM.

The last three levels unify all energy fields, all chakras are unified and you become totally connected to your I AM.

10. Tenth level -you are one with Source consciousness and know all is possible.

DNA is no longer 2 strand but 12 strand; teleportation, manifestation etc. are instantaneous. The Merkabah (another name for our Lightbody) has been built and allows you to pass through space, time and dimensions complete in your totality. It has its own consciousness to be directed by you.

11. Eleventh level -all levels of the lightbody have been constructed and activated and are connected to your physical body via 'spin points'. These light matrix's lie along the physical acupuncture meridians and are lines of light intersecting in beautiful geometries- a new 5th dimensional circulatory system of Light. Cellular regeneration has been accomplished. Time is no longer linear but simultaneous - past, present and future co-exist - all exist in parallels. There is no separation and you will fully manifest your vision of Heaven on Earth and express the ecstasy of Spirit. In this 'frame' of conscious awareness many now access and create new types of Light based technologies, new community living, new systems of government and equitable food and resource distribution systems. All have received specialist training and skills to help create and manifest the New World - the 'Golden Age'.

12. Twelfth level -the continuation of the Creation and implementation of the New World systems - hook up with other 12th level initiates who bring into existence new governments, new financial and educational systems, better system of food and resource allocation etc. as all will be redefined in the final stages of Earth's ascension so that all may exist in joy, equality and harmony. By this time the planet and her inhabitants will have been 'rewoven' into Light to shine in their full glory as the final stages of this Divine Plan unfolds. The planet goes to Light, shifts out of this dimension and is brought into a multi-star system where everyone is a lightbody and follows Spirit in total Mastery.

TALKING TO OTHERS WHO JUST "DON'T GET IT"

TALKING TO OTHERS WHO JUST "DON'T GET IT"

Are you tired of trying to reach people who just don’t get it? Here are a few suggestions to help you start up a spirituality conversation with just about anyone! 

Try to find some common ground

Most people have a curiosity about UFO’s and have either seen one or knows of someone who has seen a UFO. Ask them about their beliefs in UFO’s.

There are dramatic earth changes going on right now, such as tsunamis, volcanoes, earthquakes, mass animal die offs, sinkholes, land cracks, solar flares, etc… Bring up one of these topics and segue it into other earth change topics. From here, you can mention how our planet follows cycles of time, how history always seems to repeat itself and how to learn from these cycles of time.

If someone is having difficulty sleeping, you could mention the benefits of meditation and melatonin, and how melatonin helps to open the pineal gland.

We’re starting to see an influx of television programming and movie productions that revolve around aliens. Create a conversation about this and test the waters to see where people stand on whether they believe aliens are malevolent (bad) or benevolent (good).

If you’re having a conversation about art, you can easily mention how there have been discoveries of 10,000+ year old artwork about aliens and their spacecrafts.

Ask hypothetical questions

We’ve all asked these kinds of questions, such as, “If you were an animal, what kind of animal would you be and why?” Try asking a similar question, but from a spiritual perspective: “If you could have any ability, what would it be and why?” Some people might want to fly or to be invisible while other people might want the ability to read minds. From here, you can talk about ways to work on specific abilities, such as telepathy, seeing auras and telekinesis.

Just about anyone will check out at least a few minutes of a video you send them. If the video link is in an email, then chances are, they’ll put this aside and will watch it at their convenience. Don’t force the issue by asking them if they’ve seen the video yet. If they’re still interested, they’ll talk to you about it.

I’d recommend Esoteric Agenda, The Secret, Zeitgeist or 2012 The Online Movie, but feel free to use your own discernment.

Look for opportunities to plant the seed

I used to walk the Great Highway beach in San Francisco every day, picking up garbage so the beach would look nice for other people. While doing this, other people would notice and would start a casual conversation with me. You’ll never know where a conversation might lead and how many people you’ll touch if the conversation never existed to begin with.

Here’s another example. Let’s imagine you’re standing in line at the grocery store. To start a conversation, you might try saying, I never really knew about genetically modified foods until I read about it online (on your favorite website).” This plants the seed of suggestion to those who are curious about GMO’s or whatever topic you’re trying to garner curiosity about. You could even talk about how taxes are so high and segue that into how all political parties are the same. For some, this will begin their awakening process.

Make a statement, be creative

Make a custom t shirt about what you’d like to talk about. People will ask you about it.

When you meet someone who "just doesn't get it" do you
- let them figure it out for themselves
- try to help them understand
- shake your head and mumble to yourself
- it depends on the situation

Ask other like-minded people

Attend workshops, go to conferences, participate in a drumming circle and ask people how they start a conversation with someone who just doesn’t get it.

Remember: Don’t, if they’re truly disinterested; let it go.

All we need to do is to light their candle of curiosity. The rest is up to them.

YOUR HIGHER SELF, KARMA AND RELATIONSHIPS

Your Higher Self

Our higher selves also play an interactive role in the arrangement and meeting between two or more souls. Consider the fact that your higher self is multidimensional and can communicate with other higher selves at any giv

en time.

Don’t I Know You?

Did you ever look at someone and even though you never officially met them, you felt as if you’ve known this person? Chances are, this person is part of your soul group as well. The feeling that you’re experiencing is the remembrance of this relationship which is locked into your cellular memory. This is the point where both higher selves are in bliss and that feeling is relayed between these two people as familiarity or in simpler terms, “Do I know you from somewhere?”

The Wheel of Karma

Have you found yourself being attracted to a specific type of personality? While most of the time, this is a wonderful relationship, but some of the lessons we need to learn in this incarnation involve karma.

For example, if you are in an abusive relationship, then it’s quite possible that YOU were the abuser in a previous lifetime and you made a soul contract with your spouse to come back as the opposite sex, not only to experience what the other person was feeling, but to resolve the karmic debt. The easiest way to resolve this debt is to FORGIVE, but be sure to understand the lesson that was presented before you.

Multidimensional Relationships

As a multidimensional being on the other side, you made thousands upon thousands of contracts to meet specific people at specific times in your life. In the third dimensional reality, it’s difficult to comprehend the numerous amounts of contracts that we’ve made but when you’re multidimensional, it’s quite easy to do.

Some of these relationships will never manifest in this incarnation due to free will.

Twin Flames

Other relationships may involve seeking your twin flame, who may or may not be here in this incarnation. A twin flame is literally the other half of your soul that makes you whole, yet at the same time, each twin flame is a complete soul. They form a complete balance of the male and female energies. Your previous relationships were also soul contracts to help you prepare to be with your twin flame. When you meet your twin flame, you’ll know it immediately.

Some twin flames aren’t here in this incarnation. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t get married or have children because your twin flame (in the ethereal realms) wants you to experience everything that can bring you joy and happiness in this incarnation, as well as to learn as many life lessons to help your spiritual growth. He or she is still part of your soul group but decided not to join you in this incarnation. Don’t take it personally! They’re still with you in heart and in spirit.

It’s also important to remember that some twin flames remain on the other side to provide you with help and spiritual guidance. Some souls decided to come here without them because they “heard the call” and they knew they were needed here in this incarnation. Please keep in mind that not everyone from your soul group will incarnate at the same time!

WHAT IS A SOUL GROUP?

What is a Soul Group?

Did you ever meet someone and felt as though you knew that person for a long time, even thought this was the first time you ever met? Did you ever have a connection with someone where you could finish their sentences

 or seemingly read their mind at will? Chances are, you’ve known these people many, many lifetimes and they are part of your soul group.

So what is a soul group? A soul group is a group of infinite beings of consciousness who help us learn life lessons. Many have been with us in previous incarnations and have spent the majority of time with us in the ethereal realms. While we’re on the “other side”, we make agreements with our soul groups to meet at some juncture in our Earth-bound lives (or any other place of incarnation, it doesn’t have to be Earth).

Before we are born

Before we are born, we choose the experiences that we desire to have in this incarnation and then make soul contracts with people who will help us along the way. We also choose which parents we will have and the type of lifestyle we will lead. You might be asking yourself, “Why did I choose THIS lifestyle?” Because you knew it would give you the best chance to learn so many life lessons and to grow spiritually. At birth, your personality, character, abilities, talents, strengths and weaknesses are already formed. Now, it’s just a matter of learning from your weaknesses and using your abilities to the utmost capacity.

In the near future, you will meet people at the most opportune times in your life, and not by coincidence. These people are part of your soul group who will help you with your life lessons.

YOUR EVOLUTION IN THE LIGHT

Humanity is in the process of making an evolutionary leap. Your energy bodies are evolving; you are gaining a spiritual shimmer and new energies in your aura as you grow spiritually. Because the new human will have a body of light that is able to vibrate at a higher frequency and light; you, your children, and your grandchildren will bring a transformation of consciousness beyond anything you can

now imagine. What you struggle so intently with now – to be more loving; to believe in yourself; to forgive; to have compassion; and to release pain and negativity – will be easier in future times as human energy systems become more evolved. Humanity will have a more fully formed body of light and will become a radiating source of light. ♥!

E-MOTION ELEVATION: AVOID ROARING LIKE A LION

In this month of Leo the Lion, there is great potential to use one's emotions for constructive evolution. It is a month with the energy of emotional motivation and thus your emotions can either get the best of you, or you can use them for the best. Ego desires may come forth strongly and can be destructive to your development and keep you bound by what you believe is in you

r best self interest. Or emotional desires can be raised to new levels, and afford new spiritual satisfaction. Given this particular energy, we would like to discuss the transformative power of raising your emotional vibration.

E-motion Elevation

You are all quite aware that human emotions have a wide range of expression. Most of you are aware that some of your emotions are reactions that occur unconsciously and can be dependent on early emotional training or are based on certain events that have impacted your psyche, in this lifetime or previous lives. Your soul holds onto emotional imprints through its many lives, until it learns that it can control the power of emotional vibrations.

Your emotions are energy forms or Energy-Motions. The accumulated emotions of all those incarnate as humans through time adds to the emotional energies available to humans all over the Earth. You see the power of this when a global event is felt by billions. Global reactions occur everyday, whether you are reading the news or not, most are affected by the emotional trends of your species regularly. You are also affected by the emotional energies of particular cultures or locations in the world. If you live in Iraq your emotional influences are different than if you reside in Japan, for example. The more you put yourself at the mercy of cultural emotions, the more affected you are by them.

For example, if you watch television programming everyday and allow the emotions of these programs to infiltrate your mind, you will be more influenced by these then someone who is spending their time meditating on peace in a mountain cabin. The point in discussing these influences, is so that you become aware that your emotions may not be yours at all. You may be an emotional regurgitator of environmental factors including the food you eat. The first step in gaining control of your emotional vibration is to be aware of what is externally influencing them.

Secondly, one must observe what emotional reactions are caused from childhood or other life experiences that may not be pertinent or beneficial to your current evolution. These can be positive or negative reactions. Even if it is positive, in order to gain elevated awareness, one must learn when this is merely a reaction based on programming. For example, you may react with happiness at the thought of eating ice cream. This appears positive as it is a good feeling to you. However, there may be times when such an emotion has adverse effects, has control over you, or is simply a masking of deeper emotional issues. The same can be said of any addictive tendency, as they are often a programmed sensation of pleasure that over takes you without your full conscious awareness. You can each ponder your own personal emotional reactions to gain awareness of whether they are reactive in nature or whether you chose them.

The step of elevating ones emotional status comes from awareness which in turn allows choice. When you can consciously choose your emotional state of being, you are able to transform your emotional vibration any time you wish. As you practice awareness, you can begin to practice transforming reactive emotions to purposeful emotions. When a being gets to this level of ability and control, the usual choice is to increasingly remain in a state of elevated emotions, or those that are light and fluid. When you begin to be in such emotional states more often, it becomes easier and easier to create your desires. The more this occurs, the more motivated you are to perpetuate these light fluid states. This is what truly creates evolution after self-awareness. As one maintains more emotional lightness and creates more readily, the entire being lightens in frequency.

When a being is emotionally lighter they are increasingly more able to move and create with ease. This ease of creation accelerates development exponentially. When emotions are elevated, you take in more information and this causes expansion of understanding and vision. You can say that all levels of the being's awareness becomes more acute; including intellect, physical agility, and creativity.

In your present states of emotional unawareness, you can only take in a small percentage of what occurs in your environment, including such things as your comprehension of time. You can only experience one moment followed by another. With higher emotional input, you begin to see all times together and can take in the meaning of events from past, present and future perspectives simultaneously. This is all a matter of raising ones emotional state above a reactive impulse to a conscious choice. In a higher emotional state, one is able to be fully present and take in more of their surroundings and have a deeper level of connection to those surroundings. Lighter emotions leave room for more depth of perception.

When the elevation of emotions is discussed, it is not so that you will be a happier person, although there is nothing wrong with this. However, it is about so much more than happiness and satisfaction. It is about being a more fully aware being and advancing your ability to be more consciously creative as a soul. A soul that is less emotionally aware, will unconsciously create life experiences and have less conscious choice about where they will go next, in this life and the next. Those souls of higher awareness have more and more choice of lifetime experiences and even whether to change physical form or not. Then this awareness evolves to a choice as to whether to be physical at all.

Species from throughout the universe evolve differently depending on their environmental influences and on what they choose to do with what they have. Each being within a species adds to the emotional thought energy that effects the overall growth and development of that particular species. As each one of you makes efforts to raise your emotional awareness and concurrently raise your emotional fluidity, you are adding to human evolution. A certain level of emotional awareness and elevation is required for you to see beyond the limits of third density to become a part of the greater universal family of inter-dimensionally aware beings.

There is much written in your world on the importance of emotional elevation and on how to practice this. You all have the ability to do this inherently. What has been missing is your desire to practice your ability. It first requires that you recognize where your emotional reactions come from. Then you must shift into a belief in your ability to proactively change your emotional present, past and future simultaneously.

Emotional elevation does not mean that you must be happy in every moment. In fact, often elevated emotional states are a suspension of any emotion that you usually associate with the human gamut of emotions. The higher the emotion, the less dramatic the physical expression. Compare an angry person to one in love. States of complete bliss, may begin with a physical smile, but can go beyond the physical realm of expression and the blissful being is lightened to a non-physical world of pure consciousness. This person may appear to have absolutely no expression, but may radiate an aura of light because they have emotionally raised themself to vibrate at a lighter frequency. They have released the lower emotions that cover their inner light.

This lesson in emotional vibrancy is not meant to be a how to. It is meant to help you think of what and why emotional elevation is key to developing greater awareness and how it is related to ascension. We also would like you to think of elevated emotions outside your current cultural knowledge. In other words, understand that the person that is laughing all the time, may be stuck in a reactive addiction and that this may not be an indication of emotional elevation. However, shifting from emotions that feel draining to those that feel invigorating, such as joy, can be a spring board to becoming a lighter emotional being, when it is done from conscious awareness and not out of reactivity. We are hoping that you will feel the truth in what we relay and open yourself to seeing and sensing a completely new scale of emotional conscious balance.

A person who is in a high state of emotional being, may show no sign of any outward expression, and may even appear emotionless. Often your experiences with higher dimensional beings from elsewhere will be interpreted as lacking emotions because you are trained only to perceive emotions by physical gestures, and these beings relate to emotions purely vibrationally. Changing your perspective on what emotional elevation is will allow you to transcend the limits you currently impose upon them.

The emotions you are familiar with that can help raise you to the levels of true emotional bliss of creation are:

1. passion or being enthralled with enthusiasm

2. unconditional love and empathy

3. sensitivity to one-ness or feeling the inter-connectivity of everything

4. expanding awareness to the molecular or infinitesimal and to the wholeness of the entire universe,

5. disassociation with your ego self as separate from your spiritual self

6. peace, serenity and tranquility

7. acceptance and appreciation.


These emotional states can be consciously activated even when doing menial tasks that you would normally react to with lower emotions.

You can perhaps see how these emotions are more internally felt than they are physically expressed. Passion can be welling up inside you, for example, and not be seen by others. Tranquility can be your natural state of being but no one knows it by looking at you. Your actions, on the other hand, may show your true emotional status over time. We will let you ponder that notion.

Also ponder that All change begins with a shift in emotions. When considering what changes you want to make in your life, consider what emotions must shift in order to make those changes. Above all, find joy in the process of elevating your emotions.

PREPARATION OF THE BODY FOR FIFTH DIMENSIONAL CHANGE, by Judy Satori

Cleansing the Blood
I have worked with energy for the past 15 years and as we move closer to 2012 my spiritual guides have been insistent about the need for me to continually detoxify and purify the body so that I might hold more light within the cells and tissues.

As you begin working with the Full Moon transmissions for the re-synthesis and re-genesis of the body you may begin to find that your emotions get triggered, or that you feel tired or a little unwell. This is because as light comes into the cells of the body, energy distortion caused by karmic miasmic patterning, the energy residue of past life trauma gets released and cleared from your energy fields. The clearing helps you to hold more light and therefore accelerates your ascension process. The emotionality only lasts a day or so and the way to handle it is to drink lots and water and rest.

The blood also carries light/energy along with oxygen in the hemoglobin molecules within the red blood cells. The red blood corpuscles are actually crystalline. As the blood is transposed into the next level of creation, the Fifth Dimension, it literally becomes like a sacred river of light flowing through the body.

As part of the Full Moon transmissions for the blood there are energy transmissions to cleanse and purify, but this energetic cleansing will be greatly enhanced it you carry out a physical detoxification regime for the body. Not only will you feel better, your body will be able to hold more light and you will not be as affected by ascension symptoms (see Ascension and You). If you are physically challenged or unwell, your body will be assisted to heal.

It is important to carry out a physical blood-cleansing regime because live blood is usually full of pathogens, microorganisms such as parasites, bacteria, yeast and fungal infestations. Over time these pathogens can grow and change their shape, putting huge stress on the immune system.

It is recommended to cleanse the body in this sequence:

Colon - Digestive System

Liver, Gallbladder - possibly combined with parasite cleansing

Lungs, Kidneys and Bladder
Blood, Skin and Lymph -
You can still cleanse the blood only by taking herbal tinctures or formulations, such as red clover, chapparal or Essiac tea and maybe alternating this with parasite cleansing and taking Pau D'arco if you have a history of candida or yeast infestation. It is probably better however to work through the other organs and systems of the body first. Go slowly as you gradually change your diet to include more fresh, raw and live foods, fruits and vegetables.

Physical detoxification systems are available everywhere. Proteolytic enzymes work to clear debris from the blood and optimize its function. They also work to reduce chronic inflammation, a major cause of aches and pains and premature aging. They reduce scar tissue and help eliminate immune disorders and allergies. They are taken between meals.

Regenerative Tonic for the Body
These seven energy transmissions from the Elohim will help the body recalibrate to fifth dimensional energy and will assist with regeneration. It is a good transmission to build into your daily routine and listen to once daily for about three months. Then you will be ready for more intensive regenesis.

These transmissions will greatly help you if you are experiencing health challenges as they will also serve to balance and smooth karmic release. As the energy coming in to Earth from the Galactic Center accelerates it is bringing up for clearing old energy patterns of past life thought and belief. These lower vibrational energies are held as a kind of distorted static on all levels of the body’s energy anatomy, from the DNA to the auric field surrounding the body.
It is the higher dimensional energy hitting these lower vibrational energy distortions that can make you feel emotionally or physically unwell and that can actually lead to physical dis-ease situations occurring in the body.


Dealing with Solar Flares, Cosmic Radiation and Increasing Electromagnetic Energy Bombarding Earth

The increasing frequency of electromagnetic energy coming into Earth's atmosphere from the Galactic Center is tuning us into the frequencies of the new fifth dimensional Earth and preparing the Earth for this shift in consciousness and vibration. Information from the Elohim is that these energies will increase each month during 2012.

PINEAL GLAND vs. PITUATARY GLAND FUNCTIONALITY

FOCUS ON YOUR PINEAL GLAND'S HEALTH -- 
PINEAL GLAND vs. PITUATARY GLAND FUNCTIONALITY

The Pineal Gland allows you to transform your higher desire into manifestation via the power of your thoughts. This transformation begins with shifting your thinking from the third dimensional thinking of your ego self to the multidimensional thinking of your Higher Expressions of SELF. Third dimensional thinki

ng stems purely from your brain, whereas multidimensional thinking stems from your Higher Mind.

Your human brain transforms every thought you generate into bio-chemical messages. If your thoughts are based on fear and/or survival they will be transmuted into lower frequency bio-chemical messages. These thoughts will NOT connect you with your Higher Mind, which is in constant contact with your Pineal Gland. The Pineal Gland's objective is to be the interface between the higher dimensions and the physical realm.

The Pineal Gland is focused on opening the Portal to the Divine so that the higher light and unconditional love can enter into your physical form to facilitate multidimensional thinking, mastery of energy and manifestation via thought waves. Therefore, it will filter-out the lower frequency thoughts and leave them for the Pituitary Gland.

The purpose of the Pituitary Gland is to keep the physical form alive. Therefore, it recognizes all thought that contains any form of fear for survival and dispenses adrenalin throughout the physical body to give it added strength to address the cause of the fear. In other words, the Pituitary Gland is interested in keeping the human alive, whereas the Pineal Gland is interested in transmuting the human body into its true, multidimensional nature.

The Pineal Gland serves as a bridge or Portal between the physical and nonphysical, the human and divine, the brain and the mind. This Portal will not open until the human thoughts begin to generate bio-chemical frequency waves that resonate to the fourth and fifth dimension. There is a protective reason why the Pineal Gland is so selective.

The Pineal Gland also serves as a filter. If you are trapped in negative thinking and have the power to manifest with your thoughts, your life would manifest all your fears. Fortunately, the adrenaline that the Pituitary Gland releases sends a message to the Pineal Gland you have NOT achieved mastery over your emotions, and are having difficulty with the physical reality. Therefore, you are not ready for the next frequency of reality.

This is not a punishment. Instead, it is a form of protection. You would not give a child the keys to your new sports car, nor would you give the power of manifestation to one who cannot master their own fear. There is also another form of protection.

Even if you cannot hear your own sub-conscious thoughts of fear and doubt that underlie your conscious, positive decrees, your Pituitary Gland can hear it. In fact, the Pituitary Gland can hear your subconscious mind even more clearly than it can hear your conscious mind for your unconscious thoughts primarily communicate at a biochemical level.

When these fearful biochemical messages are detected, Pituitary Gland comes to the rescue with adrenalin. The release of adrenalin serves as a Stop Sign to the Pineal saying, "Fearful, not yet ready to manifest."

THE END OF ALL FORMS OF THIRD-DIMENSIONAL DUALITY

DUALITY IS ENDING, AND SO IS THE SCHISM BETWEEN THE MASCULINE AND FEMININE PARTS OF YOUR SELF

This split between your masculine and feminine is a product of the era in which you were born. Up until the time that you became an adult, the male and female expressions of life were very different and quite separate within your psyche.

The separation between the masculine and feminine polarities of y

our personal self need to be resolved so that you can release the polarities of your planetary self. These polarities still remain in your thoughts.

Your male polarity of logical, sequential, scientific thinking is the cause of your doubt about ascension. On the other hand, your feminine polarity of holistic, imagistic, metaphysical thinking fully embraces your Knowing about ascension. Because you were raised in a reality in which these two types of thinking were portrayed as incompatible, you need to heal that social message.

Fortunately, the generations after the Baby Boomers have experienced a reality in which the lines between masculine and feminine have merged into a spectrum rather than a polarity. It was the freethinking of many Baby Boomers who allowed their children to live in the in-between of male and female that assisted this process of merging of polarities.

However, the Baby Boomers must now merge that polarity within themselves. Again, each human holds the same polarity issues as the planet. In order to deeply participate in Planetary Ascension, you must all participate in your Personal Ascension. Therefore, the voice of the feminine must be measured as equal to the voice of the masculine.

When the feminine voice was dominant, the Goddess was worshiped and the planet was a sacred Being to be protected and revered. Then, the masculine voice became dominant, and man set out to "conquer" nature. Many great technologies were invented, but much of the body of Gaia was damaged, or destroyed, in mankind's quest for domination.

As each human balances the masculine and feminine energies within themselves, they assist Gaia/Earth to heal those polarities within Her earthly body. This personal participation in Planetary Ascension is greatly accelerated when you open the Personal Portal of your High Heart. Your High Heart more easily opens when you are free of "scientific" doubt and/or fear of survival.

This healing of doubt and fear occurs when you:

Love your self unconditionally
Forgive your self unconditionally and
Accept your self unconditionally.

At the same moment of the ONE, you, also, need to open the Portal of your High Heart so that you can fully accept the inflow of Unconditional Love, Forgiveness and Acceptance from the higher frequencies of reality.

Therefore, in order to BE who YOU want to be, you have to act like you are already that person ... AND, in order to act "as if" you love yourself unconditionally, you will have to accept that sometimes you will be successful in this challenge, and at other times, you will fail miserably.

That is called "accepting yourself unconditionally."

Therefore, the unconditional acceptance and unconditional forgiveness will actually precede the unconditional love, which you will need to have in order to forgive and accept yourself unconditionally ... and can extend that unconditional love to all sentient beings. ♥

THE POWER OF DOUBT

ASCENSION BEGINS WITH RECOGNIZING THE POWER OF DOUBT IN YOU

What is the nature of your fear? Is it that you might be wrong in believing the Ascension-speak? Are you afraid that you might be right? Is it your wounded ego that doubts that anything so wonderful could actually be true, and especially in this lifetime? These are the types of fears that you would not want the power of manifestation

 to fuel, are they?

Do you see how this inner battle is damaging to your body? You have difficulty fully grounding your Light because your mind and body are not on the same track. Your mind, ruled by your SELF, is in the process of ascension. At the same time, your body, ruled by your ego, has a very different opinion about what is real and what is not real. Your body thinks that only objects of the same density as itself are real.

Do you see how YOU are also representing what is occurring on the body of Gaia/Earth right now? Many of Her humans can trust the love and light, but others can only trust that which they can perceive with their five physical senses. Then, there is a huge majority of people in-between.

Some believe much more in the 3D concepts and are trying to accept the messages from their SELF, while others believe the messages from their SELF, and are trying to release the doubts that their ego still holds.

Which is it for you? ♥

Ascension Symptoms Checklist

How many of these 51 spiritual awakening symptoms do YOU have? Quiz yourself and your friends HERE!

1 - Changing sleep patterns: restlessness, hot feet, waking up two or three times a night.

Feeling tired after you wake up and sleepy off and on during the day. There is something called the Triad Sleep Pattern that occurs for many: you sleep for about 2-3 hours, wake up, go back to sleep for another couple of hours, wake again, and go back to sleep again. For others, the sleep requirements have changed. You can get by on less sleep. Lately I have been experiencing huge waves of energy running into my body from the crown. It feels good, but it keeps me awake for a long time, then subsides. 

Advice: Get used to it. Make peace with it and don't worry about getting enough sleep (which often causes more insomnia). You will be able to make it through the day if you hold thoughts of getting just what you need. You can also request your Higher Self to give you a break now and then and give you a good, deep night's sleep. If you can't go back to sleep right away, use the waking moments to meditate, read poetry, write in your journal or look at the moon. Your body will adjust to the new pattern.

2 - Activity at the crown of the head: Tingling, itching, prickly, crawling sensations along the scalp and/or down the spine.

A sense of energy vibrating on top of the head, as if energy is erupting from the head in a shower. Also the sensation of energy pouring in through the crown, described as "sprinkles". This may also be experienced as pressure on the crown, as if someone is pushing his/her finger into the center of your head. As I mentioned in #1, I have been experiencing huge downloads of energy through the crown. In the past, I have felt more generalized pressure, as if my head is in a gentle vise. One man related that his hair stood on end and his body was covered with goosebumps. 

Advice: This is nothing to be alarmed about. What you are experiencing is an opening of the crown chakra. The sensations mean that you are opening up to receive divine energy. 

3 - Sudden waves of emotion.

Crying at the drop of a hat. Feeling suddenly angry or sad with little provocation. Or inexplicably depressed. Then very happy. Emotional roller coaster. There is often a pressure or sense of emotions congested in the heart chakra (the middle of the chest). This is not to be confused with the heart, which is located to the left of the heart chakra. 

Advice: Accept your feelings as they come up and let them go. Go directly to your heart chakra and feel the emotion. Expand it outward to your all your fields and breathe deeply from the belly all the way up to your upper chest. Just feel the feeling and let it evaporate on its own. Don't direct the emotions at anyone. You are cleaning out your past. If you want some help with this, say out loud that you intend to release all these old issues and ask your Higher Power to help you. You can also ask Grace Elohim to help you release with ease and gentleness. Be grateful that your body is releasing these emotions and not holding onto them inside where they can do harm. One source suggests that depression is linked to letting go of relationships to people, work, etc. that no longer match us and our frequencies. When we feel guilty about letting go of these relationships, depression helps us medicate that pain.

4 - Old "stuff" seems to be coming up, as described above, and the people with whom you need to work it out (or their clones) appear in your life. 
Completion issues. Or perhaps you need to work through issues of self-worth, abundance, creativity, addictions, etc. The resources or people you need to help you move through these issues start to appear. 

Advice: Same as #3. Additionally, don't get too involved in analyzing these issues. Examining them too much will simply cycle you back through them over and over again at deeper and deeper levels. Get professional help if you need to and walk through it. Do not try to avoid them or disassociate yourself from them. Embrace whatever comes up and thank it for helping you move ahead. Thank your Higher Power for giving you the opportunity to release these issues. Remember, you don't want these issues to stay stuck in your body.

5 - Changes in weight. 

The weight gain in the US population is phenomenal. Other people may be losing weight. We often gain weight because many fears we have suppressed are now coming up to the surface to be healed. We react by building up a defense. We also attempt to ground ourselves or provide bulk against increasing frequencies in our bodies. 

Advice: Don't freak out, but just accept it as a symptom of where you are right now. You will release/gain the weight when all your fears have been integrated. Release your anxiety about this. Then you might find it easier to lose/gain the weight eventually. Exercise. Before eating, try this: Sit at the table with an attractive place setting. Light a candle. Enjoy how the food looks. Place your dominant hand over your heart and bless the food. Tell your body that you are going to use the food to richly nourish it, but that you are not going to use the food to fulfill your emotional hungers. Then pass your hand from left to right over the food and bless it. You may notice that the food feels warm to your hand even if the food is cold-- I like to think that the food is good for me when it feels warm and nourishing to my hand. I have also noticed that when I practice blessing the food, I don't eat as much. It is important not to let yourself off the hook when you forget to bless the food before you eat. If I've forgotten and I've nearly finished eating, I bless the food anyway. That way I don't slip out of the habit. Another thing you can do is to stay present while eating -- don't watch TV or read. Heartily enjoy what blessings are before you.

6 - Changes in eating habits: Strange cravings and odd food choices. 

Some find they are not as hungry as they used to be. Or hungrier. 

Advice: Don't deny what your body tells you it needs. If you are not sure, you might try muscle-testing before you chose a food to see if it's what your body wants. Also try blessing the food as described in #5.

7 - Food intolerances, allergies you never had before.
As you grow more spiritual, you are more sensitive to everything around you. Your body will tell you what it can no longer tolerate, as if it, too, is sloughing off what doesn't serve it anymore. You might be cleansing yourself of toxins. Some people find they often have a white residue in their mouth, much like that of runners at the end of a race. 

Advice: An acupuncturist told me that this film can be removed by sloshing 2 tablespoons of cold-pressed olive oil in your mouth for 10-15 minutes (don't swallow, whatever you do), then spitting it out into the toilet -- not the sink, for you just removed toxins from your body and don't want them in the sink. Brush your teeth and do the same. Then clean your brush. (Sorry this is yukky, but it works.) 

8 - Amplification of the senses. 
Increased sensitivity. 

8a. Sight: Blurry vision, shimmering objects, seeing glittery particles, auras around people, plants, animals, and objects. Some report seeing formerly opaque objects as transparent. When you close your eyes, you no longer see darkness, but redness. You may also see geometric shapes or brilliant colors and pictures when eyes are closed. Colors appear more vivid -- the sky might look teal or the grass an amazing green. Often I see grids running across the ground. As you become more sensitive, you may see shapes or outlines in the air, especially when the room is almost dark. When your eyes are open or closed, you may see white shapes in your peripheral vision (these are your guides). 

Advice: Your vision is changing in many ways -- you are experiencing new ways of seeing. Be patient. Whatever you do, do not be afraid. Hazy vision maybe relieved by yawning. 

8b. Hearing: Increased or decreased hearing. I once thought I would have to pull off the road because of the painfully amplified sound of my tires on the freeway. Other symptoms are hearing white noise in the head, beeps, tones, music or electronic patterns. Some hear water rushing, bees buzzing, whooshing, roaring or ringing. Others have what is called audio dyslexia-- you can't always make out what people are saying, as if you can no longer translate your own language. Some hear strange voices in their dreams, as if someone is hovering near them. You can either ask the presence(s) to leave or ask Archangel Michael to take care of the situation. Again, there is nothing to fear. 

Advice: Surrender to it. Let it come through. Listen. Your ears are adjusting to new frequencies. 

8c. Enhanced senses of smell, touch, and/or taste. I notice I can now smell and taste chemical additives in some foods in a rather unpleasant manner. Other food may taste absolutely wonderful. For some people, these enhancements are both delightful and distracting. You might even smell the fragrance of flowers now and then. Many of the mystics did. Enjoy it. 

9 - Skin eruptions: 
Rashes, bumps, acne, hives, and shingles. Anger produces outbreaks around the mouth and chin. I had a dermatitis on my extremities for several months that accompanied healing an episode from my past. When I had worked through most of the issue, the condition was released. 

Advice: You may be sloughing off toxins and bringing emotions to the surface. When there is an issue to be released and you are trying to repress it, your skin will express the issue for you until you process the emotions. Work through your "stuff".

10 - Episodes of intense energy which make you want to leap out of bed and into action.

Followed by periods of lethargy and fatigue. The fatigue usually follows great shifts. This is a time of integration, so give into it. 

Advice: Roll with the nature of the energy. Don't fight it. Be gentle with yourself. Take naps if you are tired. Write your novel if you are too energized to sleep. Take advantage of the type of energy. 

11 - Changes in prayer or meditation. 

Not feeling the same sensations as before. Not having the same experience of being in contact with Spirit. Difficulty in focusing. 

Advice: You may be in more instant and constant communion with Spirit now and the sensation may therefore be altered. You will adapt to this new feeling. You are actually thinking and acting in partnership with Spirit most of the time now. You may find your meditation periods shorter. 

12 - Power surges:
All of a sudden you are heated from head to toe. It is a momentary sensation, but uncomfortable. In contrast, some people have felt inexplicably cold. I have experienced both. More recently I experience waves or currents of energy rolling through me. Sometimes the energy seems so intense when it first comes into my body that I feel a little nauseated. But if I think of the energy as divine and let go of fear, I feel wonderful and enjoy the sensation. If you are an energy worker, you may have noticed that the heat running through your hands has increased tremendously. This is good. 

Advice: If you are uncomfortable, ask your Higher Power, that if it be for your best and highest good, to turn down/up the temperature a bit.

13 - A range of physical manifestations: 
Headaches, backaches, neck pains, flu-like symptoms (this is called vibrational flu), digestive problems, muscular spasms or cramps, racing heartbeat, chest pains, changes in sexual desire, numbness or pain in the limbs, and involuntary vocalizations or bodily movements. Some of us have even had old conditions from childhood reappear briefly for healing. 

Advice: Remember what I said about seeking medical help if you need it! If you have determined that this is not a medical condition, relax in the realization that it is only temporary.

14 - Looking younger. 
Yippee! As you clear emotional issues and release limiting beliefs and heavy baggage from the past, you are actually lighter. Your frequency is higher. You love yourself and life more. You begin to resemble the perfect you that you really are.

15 - Vivid dreams. 
Sometimes the dreams are so real that you wake up confused. You may even have lucid dreams in which you are in control. Many dreams may be mystical or carry messages for you. And in some dreams, you just know that you are not "dreaming" -- that what is happening is somehow real. 

Advice: You will remember what is important for you to remember. Don't force anything. Above all, stay out of fear. 

16 - Events that completely alter your life: 
death, divorce, change in job status, loss of home, illness, and/or other catastrophes -- sometimes several at once! Forces that cause you to slow down, simplify, change, re-examine who you are and what your life means to you. Forces that you cannot ignore. Forces that cause you release your attachments. Forces that awaken your sense of love and compassion for all. 

17 - A desire to break free from restrictive patterns, life-draining jobs consumptive lifestyles, and toxic people or situations. 
You feel a compelling need to "find yourself" and your life purpose -- now! You want to be creative and free to be who you really are. You might find yourself drawn to the arts and nature. You want to unclutter yourself from things and people that no longer serve you. 

Advice: Do it!

18 - Emotional and mental confusion: 
A feeling that you need to get your life straightened out--it feels like a mess. But at the same time you feel chaotic and unable to focus. See #45. 

Advice: Put your ear to your heart and your own discernment will follow. 

19 - Introspection, solitude and loss of interest in more extroverted activities: 
This stage has come as a surprise to many extraverts who formerly saw themselves as outgoing and involved. They say, "I don't know why, but I don't like to go out as much as before." 

20 - Creativity bursts: 
Receiving images, ideas, music, and other creative inspirations at an often overwhelming rate. 

Advice: At least record these inspirations, for Spirit is speaking to you about how you might fulfill your purpose and contribute to the healing of the planet.

21 - A perception that time is accelerating. 
It seems that way because you have had so many changes introduced into your life at an unprecedented rate. The number of changes seems to be growing. 

Advice: Breaking your day up into appointments and time segments increases the sense of acceleration .You can slow time down by relaxing into the present moment and paying attention to what's at hand, not anticipating what's ahead. Slow down and tell yourself that you have plenty of time. Ask your Higher Power to help you. Keep your focus on the present. Try to flow from one activity to the next. Stay tuned to your inner guidance. You can also warp time by asking for it. Next time you feel rushed, say, "Time warp, please. I need some more time to -----." Then relax. 

22 - A sense of impendingness. 
There is a feeling that something is about to happen. This can create anxiety.

Advice: There is nothing to worry about. Things are definitely happening, but anxiety only creates more problems for you. All your thoughts -- positive or negative-- are prayers. There is nothing to fear. 

23 - Impatience. 
You know better, but sometimes you can't help it. You want to get on with what seems to be coming your way. Uncertainty is not comfortable. 

Advice: Learn to live with the uncertainty, knowing that nothing comes to you until you are ready. Impatience is really a lack of trust, especially trust in your Higher Power. When you focus on the present, you will experience miracles -- yes, even in traffic.

24 - A deep yearning for meaning, purpose, spiritual connection, and revelation. 
Perhaps an interest in the spiritual for the first time in your life. "Constant craving", as k.d. lang says. The material world cannot fulfill this longing. 

Advice: Follow your heart and the way will open up for you. 

25 - A feeling that you are somehow different. 
A disquieting sense that everything in your life feels new and altered, that you have left your old self behind. You have. You are much greater than you can possibly imagine. There is more to come. 

26 - "Teachers" appear everywhere with perfect timing to help you on your spiritual journey: 
people, books, movies, events, Mother Nature, etc. Teachers may appear to be negative or positive when you are trapped in polarity thinking, but, from a transcendent perspective, they are always perfect. Just what you need to learn from and move on. By the way, we never get more than we are ready to master. Each challenge presents us with an opportunity to show our mastery in passing through it.

27 - You find a spiritual track that makes sense to you and "speaks to you" at the most profound levels. 
Suddenly you are gaining a perspective that you would never have considered before. You hunger to know more. You read, share with others, ask questions, and go inside to discover more about who you are and why you are here.

28 - You are moving through learning and personal issues at a rapid pace. 
You sense that you are "getting it" quite readily. 

Advice: Keep remembering that things will come to you when they are ready to be healed. Not sooner. Deal with whatever comes up with courage and you will move through the issues rapidly. 

29 - Invisible presences. 
Here is the woo-woo stuff. Some people report feeling surrounded by beings at night or having the sensation of being touched or talked to. Often they will wake with a start. Some also feel their body orbed vibrate. The vibrations are caused by energetic changes after emotional clearing has taken place. 

Advice: This is a sensitive topic, but you may feel better blessing your bed and space around it before you sleep. I rest assured that I am surrounded only by the most magnificent spiritual entities and am always safe in God's care. Sometimes, however, the fear gets to me, and I call in Archangel Michael and/or Archangel Uriel. I don't beat myself up for being afraid sometimes. I forgive myself for not always sovereign at 3:00 a.m. 

30 - Portents, visions, "illusions", numbers, and symbols: 
Seeing things that have spiritual importance for you. Noticing how numbers appear synchronistically in your awareness. Everything has a message if you take the time to look. I enjoy the experience of "getting the messages." What fun!

31 - Increased integrity: 
You realize that it is time for you to seek and speak your truth. It suddenly seems important for you to become more authentic, more yourself. You may have to say "no" to people whom you have tried to please in the past. You may find it intolerable to stay in a marriage or job or place that doesn't support who you are. You may also find there is nowhere to hide, no secrets to keep anymore. Honesty becomes important in all your relationships. 

Advice: Listen to your heart. If your guidance tells you not to do something, speak up and take action. Say "no". Likewise, you must also say "yes" to that which compels you. You must risk displeasing others without guilt in order to attain spiritual sovereignty. 

32 - Harmony with seasons and cycles: 
You are becoming more tuned to the seasons, the phases of the moon and natural cycles. More awareness of your place in the natural world. A stronger connection to the earth.
Electrical and mechanical malfunctions: 
When you are around, lightbulbs flicker, the computer locks up, or the radio goes haywire. 

Advice: Call on your angels, guides, or Grace Elohim to fix it or put up a field of protection of light around the machine. Surround your car with bluelight. Laugh. 

33 - Increased synchronicity and many small miracles. 
Look for more of these. 

Advice: Synchronistic events tell you if you are heading in the right direction or making the correct choices. Honor these clues and you cannot go astray. Spirit uses synchronicity to communicate to you. That's when you begin to experience daily miracles. See #30. 

34 - Increased intuitive abilities and altered states of consciousness: 
Thinking of someone and immediately hearing from them. More synchronicities. Having sudden insights about patterns or events from the past. Clairvoyance, out-of-body experiences, and other psychic phenomena. Intensified sensitivity and knowing. Awareness of one's essence and that of others. Channeling angelic and Christ-consciousness energies. 

35 - Communication with Spirit. 
Contact with angels, spirit guides, and other divine entities. Channeling. More and more people seem to be given this opportunity. 

36 - Feeling inspiration and downloading information that takes form as writing, painting, ideas, communications, dance, etc.

37 - A sense of Oneness with all. 
A direct experience of this Wholeness. Transcendent awareness. Being flooded with compassion and love for all life. Compassionate detachment or unconditional love for all is what lifts us up to higher levels of consciousness and joy. 

38 - Moments of joy and bliss. 
A deep abiding sense of peace and knowing that you are never alone. 

39 - Integration: 
You become emotionally, psychologically, physically, and spiritually stronger and clearer. You feel as if you are in alignment with your Higher Self. 

40 - Living your purpose: 
You know you are finally doing what you came to earth for. New skills and gifts are emerging, especially healing ones. Your life/work experiences are now converging and starting to make sense. You are finally going to use them all. 

Advice: Listen to your heart. Your passion leads you to where you must go. Go within and ask your Higher Self, "What is it you would have me do?" Watch for synchronicities. Listen.

41 - Feeling closer to animals and plants. 
To some people, animals now seem to be more "human" in their behavior. Wild animals are less afraid. Plants respond to your love and attention more than ever. Some may even have messages for you. 

42 - Seeing beings of other dimensions. 
The veil between dimensions is thinner, so it is not surprising. Just stay in your sovereignty. You are more powerful than you can ever imagine, so do not entertain fear. Ask your guides for help if you slip into fear. 

43 - Seeing a person's true form or seeing loved ones with a different face -- past life or parallel life. 

44 - Physically manifesting thoughts and desires more quickly and efficiently.

Advice: Monitor your thoughts. All thoughts are prayers. Be careful what you ask for. 

45 - Left -brain fogginess. 
Your psychic abilities, your intuitive knowing, your feeling and compassion, your ability to experience your body, your visioning, your expressiveness all emanate from the right brain. In order for this side of the brain to develop more fully, the left brain must shut down a little bit. Normally the left-hemisphere's capacity for order, organization, structure, linear sequencing, analysis, evaluation, precision, focus, problem-solving, and mathematics dominate our often less-valued right brain. What results are memory lapses, placing words in the wrong sequence, inability or no desire to read for very long, inability to focus; forgetting what you are just about to say; impatience with linear forms of communication (audio or written formats); a feeling of spaciness, being scattered; losing interesting research or complex information; feeling bombarded with words and talk and information; and a reluctance to write. Sometimes you feel dull and have no interest in analysis, lively intellectual discussion, or investigation. On the other hand, you might find yourself drawn to the sensate: videos, magazines with photos, beautiful artwork, movies, music, sculpting, painting, being with people, dancing, gardening, walking, and other kinesthetic forms of expression. You may search for spiritual content, even science fiction. 

Advice: You may discover that if you allow your heart and your right brain to lead you, the left will then be activated appropriately to support you. And someday we will be well-balanced, using both hemispheres with mastery. 

46 - Dizziness. 
This occurs when you are ungrounded. Perhaps you have just cleared a big emotional issue and your body is adjusting to your "lighter" state. 

Advice: Ground yourself by eating protein. Sometimes "comfort food" feels right. Don't make any food right or wrong for you. Use your guidance to know what you need at any given moment. Take your shoes off and put your feet in the grass for a couple of minutes.

47 - Falling, having accidents, breaking bones. 
Your body is not grounded or perhaps your life is out of balance. Or your body may be telling you to slow down, examine certain aspects of your life, or heal certain issues. There is always a message. When I recently broke my ankle, I understand that my ankle was taking on what I myself refused to deal with. And that was all of the above. 

Advice: Stay grounded by taking your shoes off and putting your feet in the grass; even better, lie down on the grass without a blanket under you. Feel the earth beneath you. Get out in nature. Slow down and pay attention. Be mindful about what you are doing. Feel your feelings when they come up. Stay in the present. Surround yourself with blue light when you are feeling shaky. 

48 - Heart palpitations. 
A racing heart usually accompanies a heart opening. It only lasts for a few moments and means that the heart is re-balancing itself after an emotional release. I had one episode that terrified me: I woke up in the middle of the night, my heart pounding. I thought it was going to come right out of my chest. It only happened once and was, I understand, a huge heart-chakra opening. But I did check it out. There is nothing wrong with my heart. 

Advice: Remember what I said about getting medical attention when needed. Consult your doctor about any conditions you are not comfortable with. 

49 - Faster hair and nail growth. 
More protein is being used in the body. Too bad we can't tell the body where to grow the hair and where not to grow it. (Or can we? Hmmm.) 

50 - A desire to find your soulmate or twin flame. 
More than ever before, the idea that we can have a relationship that matches who we are seems more desirable. 

Advice: The truth is, we have to be the kind of person we want to attract. We have to love ourselves and where we are right now before we can attract a more "perfect" mate. The work begins at home. Here is how I think it works: Hold the desire for this person in your heart, but without attachment. Expect that someday you will meet someone who is more suited to you, but let go of any expectations as to who this will be and how it will happen. Focus instead on cleaning up your own life and being the kind of person you want to be. Be happy now. Enjoy your life. Then you may see.....

51 - Memories surface.
Body memories, suppressed memories, images of past lives and/or parallel lives. We are healing and integrating all our "selves", so expect to have some of these experiences.

Advice. Keep in mind that it is best to recall what only what comes to mind, leave the rest alone, don't analyze everything to death (because you will be stuck in the tape loop of infinite issues to process), and feel your feelings as they come up. Ask for help from your guides.
