Dear Jeanne,
Do you have a message for us today?

Now is a time of detachment and retreat into the inner self, a time to pull back and assess the energy of the self, now that shift and change have indeed occurred. The time of turmoil, unrelenting aggravation, and testing, now lapses into a time of calm retreat.

I suggest that balance of self become a force and a source of direction and attention over the next few days, so that any changes and any decisions made over the past few weeks may be solemnly solidified, contemplated, and securely owned, as individual and necessary moves on your part.

This is also a time of simplification, best expressed in detaching from objects (material and otherwise) and from attention to the busyness of the world outside of you, and allowing the self to accept the facts of grief and sadness that surely attend to change. With change is there apt to follow a period of happiness and buoyancy, but this may soon be followed by the old friends and foes, of fear and complacency, in habit and condition. If these old attendants come forth to serve your needs, I suggest that you dismiss them immediately, without regret, bidding them farewell, acknowledging their long servitude, but simply saying, no thanks!

Move on now into the new world that lies at your feet. Look around at all that you have freed yourself from and admire the open road ahead with little debris and conflict on the horizon. The next trick to overcome is to avoid becoming trapped by the false idea that you need to replace, refill, or return to a similar life of busyness, clutter, and outward focus. This is not the next step. It is not necessary to pull toward you compensating goods or relationships, treasures or comforts, but it is a time to experience the joy of simplicity and pureness of inner calm, detached, in a new solitude that is energetically beneficial, but also healing.

In the long run, your focus must remain on this ultimate goal of healing the self, through simplification of outer life, stillness, and awareness of inner life, with appreciation for the inner knowing self to speak its words of wisdom to you as you make your way. In detachment will you find your calm inner self, the one who knows and recognizes the correct path. Only in allowing this knowing self to become your next partner and traveling companion will you find your way to the healing path ahead.

Do not focus on what you have lost, what you have turned your back on, or asked to depart, but focus now on finding the best methods of healing the self, so that inner balanced calm may remain your energetic focus. With healing will come clarity so that, eventually, you will emerge from the fog, parting the misty veils, so that you may emerge from the consequences of your decisions and discover that they were, oh, so right. Your healing will come on struggling wings, but eventually will they lift and carry you forward into new life.

Do not be afraid or fearful of leaving something or someone behind, or doubt your self during this time, for this is a carrying forth time. This is the final push forward into new life, soon upon you. Your clarity of self recently gained must be your anchor, and your desire to evolve and experience the magic of life must be your wings. Your energy must affix itself to continued simplification, inner balance and calm, and optimistic peering into the future, for soon the sun will rise and the horizon will clear, the calm of the new day will greet you with its clarity and its rightness of decision. Your healing powers lie within, based on the decisions made in your outer life. This is how you must continue to weigh your decisions and challenges, based on the correct balance of inner hope and outer desire, simplifying your life to its essence, and living in calm and steady healing peace.

It’s not that hard to do. Once you make the decision to move forward, the greatest challenge is to not look back in regret, sorrow, or doubt. Everything lies before you, full of light, love, and fullness of life. Everything behind you is already known, done, and fulfilled. Turn forward now. Look back only for clarity, to punctuate your decisions made, and to acknowledge that your challenges have been well-met, and your journey fully understood as a necessary path toward enlightenment.

Your recapitulation, if done with a sense of wonder and compassion for the self and others you have encountered on your journey, will become your healing path and, eventually, your looking back will not draw you so strongly, but be viewed as the truthful and meaningful path it was always intended to be.

Take your pride at your accomplishments and put it to sleep now. Allow your calmness to guide you through the frustration, anger, and tendencies that will arise and ask for your attention, for that is their job. Invite your newfound balance to hold you steady and your healing intent to lead you to your place of light, which is lying just beyond the next door. Keep going, My Dear Ones; you are all doing well!

Dear Jeanne,
Do you have guidance for us today? Your messages are greatly appreciated by many people around the world. Your guidance is sound and we continue to be so grateful for our connection with you.

Today, I wish to stress the implications of not listening to the inner guidance of the self, the quiet voice that also speaks its own sound advice, for all of you have this ability to connect to the greater guidance available.

Tune in first to your inner self and get to know who you are as a spiritual energy being. Begin to recognize the signs of your capitulation to old ways, old habits, and old patterns of behavior, and understand that such regression draws you further from your anchoring and truthful inner self. Such regression, although damaging, is not fateful, but, if further embedding is allowed, your retreat from its talons may be slowed or stopped in its tracks.

Your greatest enemy is your old self. Your greatest ally is your ancient self, newly emerging, as you take your journey into truth. Allow this emerging self, this spiritual self connected to all things, to be your guide. As you attain new awareness, your ability to maintain new heights of attention must be cultivated. Your ability to bring your self back to this achievement of enlightenment is your greatest battle as you progress.

Each step you take must be viscerally logged and remembered, retained for future reference, but also future recall at a moment’s notice. As you take your journey, your latest steps must be recounted, but all your past steps must not be forgotten, or you risk falling into the hands of the old self.

Although your eyes are on the future, do not lose sight of the lessons you have learned, and the daily insights you must attend to. In order to maintain awareness, a new training in awareness of your journey must be a constant reminder of your enlightenment and your actual progress. I do not wish to speak in riddles, but to clearly state that awareness is key to your continued juggling of life’s challenges and life’s guidance.

Do not forget where you have been. Do not lose sight of your goal. Do not lose the insights you have gained, nor the deeper connection to self as motivator, as instigator, as investigator, as proclaimer, as archeologist, creator, and guide to your history upon that earth. Your time now may be your evolutionary time, if you can maintain awareness of all that is meaningfully presented to you, continually holding onto the facts that are showing you why and what for you are granted such lessons and such promise.

Your time now is a growing time, but it is also, absolutely, an awakening time. You are being offered a link to inner awareness so long buried by the outer world’s promises and structures of glory. But, in truth, those outer contexts unseat your inner self from its grounding and force you to project outward that which already exists within. Your growth is attached to reconnecting the thin lines of dialogue and spurring new energy into the inner passageways to the true self.

So today, I ask that you be aware of how you are prompted to forget this inner self, how you are constantly snipping the lines of connection, and how you are offered the fog of oblivion to teach you what you need to know. The fogs and veils that confuse and hide your truths are present as teachers, so do not wish them away too quickly, but use them to hone your skills of clarity and intent. Use them to seek deeper, to turn further inward for your answers to life, rather than allow them to fog your insights and blur your vision of the true path at your feet.

Make practical decisions, take pragmatic steps, remain honest, giving, and compassionately loving in the outer world that gives you everything you need to be allowed to take your inner journey. Learn to trust that the outer world is as much your guide, your protector, your teacher, as your inner world and your inner connections are. You will find what you need in your outer world to point you in the right direction in your inner world. The two worlds are synchronized so that you may grow. They may appear to be in conflict, but I suggest that this is, in fact, not so, for they each seek only to teach you how to evolve.

I hope my guidance may continually aid you, My Dear Readers. If you ask your self to constantly maintain awareness of self as a journeyer upon a new path of magic and enlightenment, with awareness of each step of your travels through life as equally meaningful and full of guidance as the next, so may you always remain open to life’s glory and desire, as well as its true commitment to you as an individual seeking growth.

Dear Jeanne,
Do you have a message for us today?

Today, I suggest taking some time to center the self, with inner centering, heart-centering if you prefer. Do this often, for only in centering the self will you be prepared for the energy outside of you as it comes to shake you up, propel you along, or flow with you, as you make your way.

A practice of inner centering is good to establish no matter what the outer energy is doing. Inner centering is a basic and practical method of establishing calmness and balance, but it will also allow you to be more energetically conducive and appropriate in your life.

With inner centering you may notice that the energy outside of you is not so interesting or so disruptive. With inner centering you may notice that your old habits are not so greedy for your attention, and your big baby self may slumber more peacefully. With inner centering you may find that your mature adult self is much more interesting to have around because your awareness may peak and wish for greater exploration and continued presence in your life. With inner centering as a daily practice you may find that you learn what it means to be compassionately detached, compassionately loving, and compassionately present in your world. With inner centering your own presence upon that earth may be more acceptable to outer energy, more conducive to spiritual work, and more prepared for what may come.

Your presence upon that earth is your greatest certainty at this moment. You do exist upon that plane. How you choose to exist is up to you. Are you seeking solace and happiness, calmness and love, energetic flow and greater awareness? If you are at all interested in being an evolving energy being, I highly suggest that a practice of inner centering become your means of attaining not only momentary calm, but greater awareness of self, of others, of your environment, and of the greater world around you, both physically and energetically.

Sit calmly. You need not take any special actions, unless you prefer a stricter routine. Simply sitting alone, releasing your thoughts, and focusing on either your heart-center, or any other chakra center of the body, is certainly appropriate. Breathe gently and directly into the chakra area you choose to accept as your place of calm, or simply breathe softly and gently without focus, if you prefer. It does not really matter. What does matter is that you allow your self a calm respite as you begin to more fully accept your self for who you are now, without judgment, without worry, without sadness, or anger, or disturbance of any sort. Simply be. Suspend the self in momentary calm. Allow the self to be nothing more than energy riding your calm breathing; a gentle energetic being asking nothing, needing nothing, wanting nothing, for a few moments. In such reverie will you begin to awaken your own energy self. In such calmness will you begin to tap into resonant energy, and you will begin to find that this practice of inner centering will give you more energy, but it will also begin to shift your awareness of your outer world. The more you do it the more you will find that your presence upon that earth will become more defined, more meaningful, and your purpose clearer.

As you elect to more fully embrace the self as an energy being, your physical world, with its problems, aches and pains, worries and stresses, will not appear so overwhelming. Your channel to your own calm happiness and mature energetic self will open wider and remain open. Your big baby will slumber more often, and your relationships will blossom with new understanding.

In an ideal world, everyone would choose to do such inner calm centering before each meeting, each discussion, each decision, each confrontation, each choice; before each process undertaken, or step that must be made. If such practice became more common then you would, indeed, begin to see great change.

I wish you, My Dear Ones, calm inner centering. Give your self a gift today, a moment’s respite, but also a moment’s energy!

Dear Jeanne,
Do you have some guidance today?

Do not be conciliatory or regretful of the steps taken in your life. Do not harbor hatred or fear of the self or others for decisions made. This is a time of forging ahead, clearly knowing that the path ahead is open and waiting for your presence upon its open road.

Your progress is certain, for you exist, but do not take for granted that you will evolve, for evolution takes work and awareness, taking into consideration the lessons learned. The lessons learned as you travel your path in that life must be utilized, stacking up as books of knowledge, read over and over again until they are ingrained in your visceral memory and brought forth in your everyday life.

Your evolution is not granted simply because you exist. In order to evolve, a conscious decision to be open to the possibilities offered in life must be adhered to, no matter what comes to shake you up or disturb your reverie.

This is a time of convergence. Many energies are now intermixing, producing confusion, at first, but patience will allow for truth to be revealed as the stars and planets realign in more practical design soon enough. This practical design will allow for greater focus. Your desire to evolve will reassert and your desire to change will become more clearly defined in both direction and method. This is the open path ahead that I speak of today.

A time of void, of unclarity, of foggy or cloudy thoughts and vision lies ahead. Through this time I suggest attention be paid to your books of knowledge, your lessons thus far learned, especially those of late, for they are the most pertinent reminders of your current progress and your current process.

I predict (I often do not like to be so bold as to use that word, but I will today!) that life will be just fine just beyond this time of void. Your plans for the future will be revealed as either correct decisions or faulty in some manner, allowing you to make new decisions as you see what presents itself next.

Take things a little slowly for the next few days. Walk in inner peace. Play at establishing calm practices of inner contemplation while you work at rereading your recent lessons learned. Work and play in steady balance will enable you to maneuver through this time of convergence and subsequent void until the mists of life’s energy clear and your way reveals itself again.

I offer this message today as incentive to remain in alignment with your hopes, your dreams, your purposes in life, for they will be revealed more clearly; it is just a matter of time.
