#403 Powerful Energy Will Be Tugging At Your Heart Strings

Jeanne Marie Ketchel
Channeled by Jan Ketchel

Dear Jeanne,
Do you have some guidance for us today?

Allow yourselves to enjoy the stirrings of love and compassion as the universe pushes for such activity. However, do not feel let down if your own experiences are not of this sort, for not all will feel such energy. This type of energy is available for those who are ready to receive it, not because they are special, but because they are at a place to learn from it, and to use it wisely, with awareness. If you are feeling stirrings of compassion, be aware that, during this time now, you can get your self into quite a fix if you follow your impulses. Far better to remain aware but distant as this energy now gets somewhat tricky.

I speak today of feelings of love, of sexual feelings, of stirrings of desire, for those are the attributes of this energy that you may feel and wish to act on. If you are in relationship transitions, so is it wise to be careful, for the energy is apt to take over, and this is what you must be aware of. When I suggest that you might be better served by remaining distant, so do I mean this in the sense of your outer world. For if you are not sure of your feelings in a relationship, if you are on the verge of either commitment or break up, so will you be tested and challenged now. This weekend will surely test your emotions, your decisions, and your place as relates to love partners, potential love partners, and past love partners.

I suggest that awareness of the energy will aid you, but I know also that it is often impossible to stay focused on the possibilities when you are in the midst of affairs of the heart. If you find your self stranded in the land of no return, briefly captivated, and placed in the hands of that deeper physical self, so must you perhaps go there in order to learn what you must learn. And the learning may be good, even an excellent growing experience. Or the learning may catapult you to a moment of recapitulation, or it may solidify your already made up mind. All of these possibilities, and others, will aid you; so do not shrink from your encounters and your experiences of self in the energy system that now affects the planet earth.

Be aware that this time is fraught with dual emotions and many mirrors. You may feel quite confused, even as you are feeling tender, loving, gracious, and accepting. But look also around you at the rest of your life so that you can maintain a balance, seeing the bigger picture regarding your decisions that will most likely be made on an emotional level during this energy time. When relying on emotions alone may you have experiences that you may not otherwise allow for, and although this is good, so is it also risky. Look outside of you often over the next few days in order to achieve balanced awareness, and in order to see your reality more clearly.

Take time to breathe. Take time to step back and say to your self: “Hey, wait a minute. Where am I?” Because you will be deeply drawn into one world and you may forget your other world, and although this is a valuable experience, so do you not want to stay caught in just one world. You want to have experiences, but you also want balance.

So as I said in the beginning, keep your self alert. Keep your self aware that there is powerful energy that will be tugging at your heart strings. There is a grand feeling of love and relationship brewing. But it is up to you to remain aware of where you are now in your life. What are you ready to risk? What are you ready to experience? And what position are you going to allow your self to end up in? Are you balanced enough to go for it? Or are you feeling uncertain about your place, as far as relationships go?

Make your choices based on this knowledge of the energy. Remember that it is powerful, that it will pull at you and nudge you, but that it is up to you to decide what you will do as you feel its definite tug. Are you not a sexual being? Yes, you are! But you are also smart and ready to grow. Your challenges, My Dear Ones, are going to be between these two aspects of self, the sexual self and the intelligent knowing self. These two aspects must consciously make some decisions together. Keep also in mind that love of self is also called for during this time. Turning inward and offering the self some longed for love and compassion may be the best alternative to the outward pull. It’s up to you!

Personally, if I were any of you, I would have some fun with this energy, but I would keep it focused on my inner sexual self, rather than my outer sexual self. By that I mean the sexual creative energy that will be quite charged this weekend. What else can you do with it? Where else can you utilize it, if you are not certain that this is the time to leap into an affair of the heart? Perhaps this is the time to reach your hand to your self and embrace the tiny self inside who has been asking you to come and play, to come and talk, to come and reacquaint your self with each other?

Find your love of self now too. A powerful use of this energy would be to spend some time alone with your true self, your tender self, your inner self, your good self, your knowing self, your accepting self, your trusting self, your best friend self. Find out who you are now, no matter what your experiences may be. It is a good time for exposure of truths of the self, but also a good time to embrace those truths, with love and compassion for the self who experiences them.

#402 Alignment with Right Knowing

Jeanne Marie Ketchel
Channeled by Jan Ketchel

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

Watch for signs of alignment. Be observant of how the signs in your own life correspond to what is happening outside of you, as progress continues to be made. Universally, is this a time of energetic convergence. The potential for continued strides to be made on many levels exists, is available, but awareness of this aspect is very important to maintain. In your daily lives now, My Dear Ones, notice and utilize what is being offered. Study your place now with an eye toward swift change, but make your moves in alignment with your inner knowing and your heart-centered place of calm.

In accordance with the wheels of progress, is it time for not only significant change, but truly meaningful change as well. This is what you must focus on in your own lives. Yes, it is universally a time of change, but in order for it to be lasting, and for it to aid you in your own evolutionary progress, do I suggest that your steps of daring be deeply significant and meaningful for you.

Just because this is a time of shift does not mean that every opportunity is the right opportunity. It does not mean that you should dare your self simply because daring is asked for. You must place your self in alignment, not only with the energy around you, but also in alignment with where you are in your life, with what is being offered and shown to you, and with what your heart knows is right. Do not leap simply because this is a time of leaping. Leap with daring awareness, not with abandonment. This is the sobering counterbalance to this energy that now pushes so forcefully for you to shift. In many aspects of life upon that earth is it so necessary for change to happen, but in order for it to be of lasting significance, so must you calm your self to a state of right knowing before you act.

So, take all of my messages of daring, place them around you, and sit in centered calmness around them, then find your inner direction and begin there. Often is such energy best utilized first innerly, rather than in some grand outer scheme that may change your life drastically, but perhaps not correctly for long term growth and gain. Where are you in your life at this very moment? On a roller coaster? On a precipice? On the brink of disaster, or the train of unending thoughts that do not subside? Are you in a whirlwind? Are you caught in a dark place, a hidden place, an exposed place?

None of that really matters, you know. The only thing that matters is that you remain connected to you, to your inner you, in alignment with your evolutionary goals. Keep in mind that you are seeking the truths of the self, that you are searching for answers, and for direction for your existence upon that earth in this lifetime. You are seeking a deeper spiritual connection, but this must first be a deeper connection to your own spirit before any other.

So although you may feel pressure, even from me, to leap about at one opportunity or another, so do I prefer that your leap be innerly, rather than outerly, if nothing outside of you truly resonates. That being said, if you are in just alignment with some outer aspect that is timely and right, so do I suggest that now is the time for such a leap if you have so determined that it is so.

You are in control. Keep that in mind. But your control must now be aligned with your spirit self, and not your mental self who simply repeats the rhetoric of old. Your control must be placed in the hands of your willing spirit self now. Ask that inner aspect of self to lead you to your proper place of daring. Push aside your old determinants and your old arguments now, creaky and dusty with usage and age, no longer appealing, but still powerfully present. It is time to hand over power to your knowing spirit, so eager for the opportunity to guide you. If you align your self with this aspect of self, trusting its decisions made in calm awareness, so will your leaps into change be leaps of daring coated with right knowing. That is what is most important now as you continue your journey.

Good Luck. Please retain your awareness of guidance, your openness to viewing your life as a journey unfolding and necessary, but also as meaningful, leading you to fulfillment. Your inner spirit self asks now for the opportunity to show you its purity and innocence, but it also asks you to totally trust it as well.

A Few Good Movies

The other day we had mentioned the movie, Ripple Effect, for its views on the interconnectedness of all things, of what it means to call your future to you, recapitulate, and acquiesce to the journey, allowing the process to unfold, as the signs, synchronicities, and challenges are paid attention to, worked through, and resolved. It is available on DVD.

This past weekend we saw, The Secret Life of Bees, another powerful example of daring to take the inner journey, following the signs, seeking and daring to face the truths, no matter how painful. It also deals with the mother figure, the resolution of the lost mother, the lost child, and basically a lot of lost souls struggling during another time of great change in America, the writing into law of the Civil Rights Act by President Johnson. A very good movie not only for our times, but also for those of us who are doing the inner work. The bee metaphors are also wonderful. We highly recommend it. This one is in the theatres.

A third movie we recently enjoyed is, The Art of Travel, another fine example of daring to follow the signs, and having some pretty amazing adventures as one things leads to another. This one is also on DVD.

Enjoy!
Jan and Chuck

Time For a Few Changes

Dear Readers and Fellow Journeyers,

Once again we are making some changes to the website, adding Chuck’s Place as a forum for other thoughts, synchronicities, and views to be expressed. The first posting was on Saturday, November 8, 2008, Message #400. We will also be posting interesting tidbits, such as notes about books, films, videos, other websites, etc. when it feels right. It was never intended that Riverwalker be devoted only to the Messages from Jeanne, but that it evolve over time.

Jeanne’s messages will continue to appear three times a week, but they will now be accompanied and interspersed by editorials, comments, and insights from Chuck in his new “Club.” This feels so right, for Chuck and Jeanne to share a platform, and for the processes that are so often expressed in Jeanne’s messages to be lovingly sculpted, tweaked, enhanced, and brought into this world by Chuck’s unique perspective.

The information that normally appeared above the messages now appears in a sidebar titled: Channeling Info. Although we have considered opening up our website to commentary from you, Our Readers, we just don’t have the time to undertake such a task, so we continue to encourage you to use the discussion option on our page at Amazon. It is free, open to you without our oversight, and who knows what kind of dialogues might evolve.

So look for a bit more daily activity on the website, the new blog, Chuck’s Place, and additional news and notes, as we continue this amazing process with Jeanne and with all of you.

We all three thank you so much for your participation, your lovely messages to us, and your dedicated readership. Thank you also for passing on your knowledge of what we are doing. Our website is visited by thousands of seekers from around the world who have found us through energetic means, without advertising, commercialism, or us asking for or making a penny of profit. This is our energetic giving, but it is greatly aided by your participation in energetically spreading the news about our website. So thank you, for energetically sharing in this intent.

With love and appreciation,
Jan, Chuck, and Jeanne
