#335 Protect Your Self With the Energy of Mother Earth

A Seeker asks a question today.

Dear Jeanne,
First, I would like to thank you for the opportunity to ask questions, and seek guidance, which I feel is a gift for me, as I am feeling so many changes and shifts in my energy, the energy of others, and the energy of the universe.

Lately, I have been more aware of breaks in physical time. I can feel “time stand still”. It happened to me yesterday as I was reading some of the spiritual books I have been collecting. It has also happened at other times, when I am doing other types of inner work (meditating, dreaming, talking to friends about their energy experiences). It seems like an odd mix between a dream, and an out of body experience. Is what I am feeling a heightened awareness? How does time stand still, and what does this mean?

Thank you again for the opportunity to ask my question. I enjoy spending time on the website. I always receive the gift of a special message to guide me on my journey.

Sincerely, D.A.D.

My Dear Reader, you are having experiences of awareness. As I have mentioned often, in energetic composition is there no concept of time; in this state is time unframed, undefined, and unlimited. In awareness is it but the moment of now that is perceived and experienced. This appears to be what you are describing.

I would like to point out that awareness becomes critically heightened during times of stress. At those times, is your sense of time perhaps even more noticeably slowed; diminished to nothing but keen alertness, clarity, and awareness of an internal and external sort, beyond the mind and the body. And even though the body and mind become ultra-sensed and ultra-sensitive in heightened awareness, so is your energy also outside of the confines of the body.

In heightened awareness, as you experience your energy in this state of removal, at the same time that you remain peripherally attached to your physicalness, so do you have the opportunity to maintain awareness if you can anchor your self in your spirit training, and not attach to some other reason for your odd experience. It seems that you are able to stay attached to your inner knowing. But I also perceive that you find it an opportunity to let go of your awareness and lose your attention to clarity. However, this process of “letting go” is not the one I condone.

To allow the self to have experiences out of body is to venture into a new realm of self. This is the energy self. But one must be cautious, at all times, to protect the energy body during such an adventure if one is vulnerable to outside energy. If one lives precariously, on the edge of reality, wishing only for the spiritual, does one not favor the spiritual side, as you might think, but become vulnerable to other energy, as one is steeped in imbalances.

These experiences you describe are tantalizing, and very valid experiments to undertake and to allow the self to become aware of. They are good training for your awareness. And yes, to gain a sense of what it means to be in heightened awareness is a most beneficial position to be in. But, My Dear One, I fear that you might overly seek such experiences, spending too much time in your energy body and in so doing, opening the door to other entities who wish to steal your energetic beauty. For you hold in your personal realm much enticing energy of the sort that has great potential. And now during your times of struggle upon that Earth, is there a great battle upon you to give up that wonderfully powerful energy to those more skilled at such battle.

I fear that you will lose your footing, so I suggest that you seek firmer placement in the real world of your grounded life upon that Earth. You already know that you are an energy being, and that you have a well-developed ability to go off into other worlds, suspended in the moment, in order to experience energy, awareness, and the potential of future energetic form. But put that talent aside while you more firmly ground your physical being in the world you live in.

You must anchor your self, most firmly, in the ground. Protect your self with the energy of Mother Earth, so that when you wish to go off on an adventure of energetic proportions, so do you have a tightly woven filament of attachment to the reality you must live in. You must resolve your issues of attachment, My Dear One. You have already worked on your issues of detachment to a certain extent, but now find firm attachment in the world, before you go out into energy form again. That is the inner work you must do now.

This is not just good advice for this Dear Reader, but many of you, who dip into the inner work, seek to go too far too soon. You seek it as release from the confines of that world, and I must warn you that it is not proper to do so. Your inner work is based in your life there. If you stray too often into moments of experiencing “time standing still,” so do you risk losing your necessary and vital connection to your life upon that Earth, which is your most important companion, teacher, and guide. Your reality, fixated on your world, is showing you what issues and tendencies must be addressed in order to solve your life and recapitulate. But you must also firmly ground your self in that world, in order for firm balance to be maintained.

I worry that too many of you seek the out of body experience, and the energy experience too often, that you are looking for a way out of doing life as it is presented to you, rather than doing the work on the self that is required in that very real and gritty world. Your success in the spiritual realm cannot be denied, nor should it be ignored. You are all learning many valuable lessons that will remain embedded in your awareness. But what use will they be, if you have not solved the puzzle of who you are in that life you now live? For only in solving the physically present self; as an entity with issues, problems, feelings, emotions, and mysteries as yet uncovered; and confronting all the whys of the self, will your awareness be of any use. To finish your lifetimes upon that Earth is your greatest agenda; and balancing that work with the work of the spirit is the process. So I urge all of You Beautiful Spirit Seekers, to not neglect one for the other.

And you, My Dearest Reader, who asks so graciously about finding the energy of the inner self, do not fault your self for the adventures you take, and so desire to keep taking, for you prove to your self and your energetic protectors, all the time, that you have what it takes to evolve. But even so, My Dear One, do you have other work to do, and I think you know what it entails, even though you shrink from the door behind which it waits. Do not dread it so, for it is but your truths waiting, lingering in the shadows for your discovery, and rediscovery of who you truly are; and with it resides your true power and potential.

These thoughts of equal mystery and despair reside in all of you who seek. They reside in your lives upon that Earth, where the need to solve your riddles is your greatest challenge. Free your spirit even more by continuing your inner work and your outer work. Do not walk away from the shadowy self who you catch glimpses of every day. Watch your energy at all times. It will show you what is important. But also, guard it. Ask your protectors and guides to stay with you as you confront your demons. In the end, you will discover that your demons are just unresolved aspects of the self.

Do not fear your process. After all, you have already experienced the nothingness of time, as you know it, on a daily basis. You have experienced energy as infinite, and it is showing you that you are well trained and capable of achieving your energy body. But it is also showing you that something else tugs at you and pulls you down into the whirlwind that must be confronted in the shadows of the earthly self.

So, My Dearest Reader and Seeker, I hope I have not been too confrontational. I offer my advice because you asked, though I found your heart center to be a little off balance, and this disturbs me. So please, be aware. This is what you are being shown in your daily life, that you are off-kilter in some aspect of the self. Even though you are highly aware and accepting of the spiritual self, so must you resolve your issues that pull you out of balance.

Thank you for this question. It does bode well for your future (and this is so for all of you Seekers) that you are doing such good awareness work. It is very good to do it, but remain grounded in reality, doing your recapitulation work, for it will integrate every aspect of your past, present, and future potential into a whole and balanced being of light, energy, with firmly grounded awareness in both worlds. Good Luck!

#334 Stay Centered and Aware of Your Path

Dear Jeanne,
Do you have a note of guidance for humanity today?

Find again your heart center, and remain bound by the tenets of a seeking life, an evolutionary life. Even as the energy does entice you outward, and pull at your inner self to remain caught in habits and behaviors of old, so must you remain cognizant of the shifts that have taken place and continue to. Change is happening now, and within your own psyche must you recognize the resistance to such change. The resistance will come forth in various ways to sabotage your growth, your place of knowing calm, and your prosperous path.

I advocate a firm intent and reminder to constantly turn to your heart center as a place of refuge, but also as a place of rebuttal to the resistance that seeks your energy. For in old habits are you an easy prey, less aware, dulled by the nothingness that comes over you as you give in to the energy that thwarts your progress and steals you from your centered path.

This is your most important task today, to stay centered and aware of your path, for the energy of shift does carry with it the ability to push you into many wrong directions. It is up to you to remain focused, aware of the inner self, the inner questions that arise, and the inner decisions that must be made in order to grow.

This is a time of confrontation and growth, and as such will you exhibit and desire signs of awareness, yet find your self struggling with all that seeks to keep you stagnant and complacent. Wake up your inner self constantly. Focus your intent throughout your day, reminding your self that you are seeking something different now; something greater than your ego desires and your ego stubbornness; something that only your spirit can recognize. If you haven’t quite achieved this new place of resonance, so must you not give in to the saboteur, but merely return to your inner place of calm, and wait there, patiently nurturing and tending to your intent to grow and change.

Although a great shift has recently occurred, so is there soon to be another. As you now dip into the time between shifts keep this reminder of renewal, soon to arise, in your awareness. Everything changes and shifts eventually. To be stuck or in a lull is normal, but you can maintain your place of inner focus and intent no matter what the energy outside presents. And that, My Dears, is how to live an evolving life.

So although I know the energy is now forceful on the one hand, and depressing on the other, so do I urge you to not get caught in the tug of war that ensues during such time of opposition. Allow your heart centered calm dignity to keep you anchored now, so you are not pulled and tossed back and forth by the forces of energetic battle. If you must hunker down, do it in the evolutionary manner. Wait out the storm in your inner place of calm. It will soon be over.

#333 Death Carries the Light of Revelation

Sid asks a question today.

Dear Jeanne,
I have been deeply affected by the sudden death of journalist Tim Russert, as have many others in this country and around the world. He was held in high esteem for his values and his integrity, one of a precious few in public life. It has caused me to focus more intently on what my values are, what my truths are, since we are at such a pivotal time in the history of our country and the planet. Can you speak to his death specifically, and it’s meaning to this world and us as individuals? I know you don’t normally do that, but I’m asking for any light you can shed. I read your messages every day, and am grateful for your continued guidance.
With love, Sid

My Dearest Sid, you speak of the suddenness of death, the propensity for it to swoop in as you do life in your normal way, offering change, abruptly focusing your attention on the moment. What now, you may ask? What happens now? Who will speak for us now? Where did he go? Why?

The questions are often as confusing as the idea of a simple and quick release from the body. There is no fanfare in the act of sudden death. It is brutally quick and mercifully unmerciful, yet does it also carry with it the truth of life and the greater truth of change. Change is inevitable. We speak of this often, and even in your own country is that the buzz word now.

Look upon this man’s death not with sadness, fear, or even wonder, but look upon life with the wonder that sudden death affords it. The wonder of life is being revealed to you now. The opportunity to embrace it, to energetically get everything you can out of it, to live it fully. Each day is a reminder that yes; death overtakes even those who speak most eloquently and so compassionately. Even the thinkers and the pundits of truth and honesty will be overtaken by it. What does that offer you? Well, it offers you life, My Dear, the sacred specialness of it in your self and those nearest to you. Yet does it also offer you the reality of what it means to be alive. The opportunity to once again be reminded that you have no time to squander, no time to lose, dilly-dallying, because your time there is but brief compared to infinite time.

Your own life must continue to be the most meaningful life you can participate in, making it your final voyage there upon that plane. How will you continue to do that, even as you know it may be brief, or end too suddenly? But you will be ready, and it will be your time, even as Tim Russert was not too surprised, for he knew a long time ago that his life needed early purpose and focus, and so he did not squander his years there.

Look upon your self now. Find your balance, your equilibrium, that calm, knowing, centered self who understands that every life has a purpose, an evolutionary purpose. What does your own life hold for you today? What is your challenge now, at this moment? Where is the significance of your own life pointing you? What is important for now?

I do not propose that you consider death now, but do consider life, and change. For even though death is your goal in the end, so is your purpose to live, and that is what you must seek at all times, to live with purpose, with intelligence, and with meaning. All will die, that is a fact. And it is not a brutal fact as you and many others would contend in your feelings of sadness and loss. It is simply the ultimate fact, and it carries with it not darkness but light.

Death carries the light of revelation, the light of evolutionary potential, and the light of release from the confines of the physical world. Death carries the answers to the mysteries, and it carries the experience of return to energy.

Concentrate your focus of intent on life now more often as the precursor to the light of death, coming at some time to reveal to you all the mysteries. Prepare for it by seeking always the experience of your energy body. Know it by its familiar release, its lightness of being and its joyous experience. To know your energy body now, to experiment with it, to test it, and to hone the skills that enable you to master it, are all available now. That is one aspect of your evolutionary life that should be studied and practiced, your life as an energy being.

In so doing will your fear of death, whether long and drawn out or quick and light, be tempered as you learn that your energy body will be fully ready when the time comes. When the time of change arrives you will be ready for it. And that, My Dear One, is what you are being shown. This politically astute figure, outspoken yet gracious in his forbearance on the subject, is paving the way to change, to accepting that the inevitability of it, and the desire for it to happen are totally out of your control. It will happen. Do you wish to flow with it, as I suggest you flow with the inevitability of your own life?

Death and change are inevitable aspects of life, and they are life itself pushing you to evolve, and they do not waste time. When the time is right, so will change and death present themselves, companions and leaders, bold yet gentle guides to new life.

So do not stay in shock or sadness now. But instead, note that you are being shown how to live unafraid lives, speaking your truths, and seeking your compassionate side, so that when you are approached with the great moment of change, you will be available to recognize that your energy body, your spirit self, has always chosen change.

You already know. You know that change is necessary, that it is inevitable, and that it is coming, whether you want it or not. So now, My Dear Readers, are you participating in it? That is the real question to ask, “Am I participating in this changing life?”

Thank you for your question, My Dear Sid. Do not struggle too much with the thoughts in your head. Go to your heart, for that is where your man, Tim Russert, lived from, and so did he also die from his big heart, full of truthful speak, and knowing of right direction and purpose.

#332 A Journey Must Be Opted For – It Must Be Chosen

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

Do not fall into old traps or get caught in the foggy malaise. Keep your focus keenly placed on your intent to grow. Peer through the debris and the intensity of the veils to what you know lies ahead. I do not doubt that trying times are ahead. But remember, you have done many shifts over the past year. You have already accomplished much in the way of growth and acceptance of your journey. You have already taken full responsibility for your actions. And even those who still linger in the land of the big baby know that taking full responsibility for the self is the first step out of the crib.

As shifts in the universe take place and the energy changes to a flow that heralds ease of participation, so are you offered the opportunity to jump into it and allow it to aid you. That is what this stage of energetic shift is offering you, the opportunity to be aided by its unseen energy. If you opt to step outside of the comforts and confines of your cribs, your blankies, binkies, and bottles, so will you be supported and held up by the feast of energetic forces ready to propel you forward.

A journey must be opted for. It must be chosen. Sometimes the choice is made in full cognition, with determination and spoken conviction. At other times, does change happen quite peripherally, as if in a dream, yet are you fully allowing of it because at your core do you acquiesce to its necessity.

The energy of now will be available no matter how your shift is undertaken. Whether with firm declaration, or in vague dreamy propelling forward, so is there plenty of energy to back you. Notice what comes to aid you. Be alert to the signs. Watch what happens in the world around you, and farther away, to signal to you that change happens, it is inevitable; and if you are ready for it, so may your ride be somewhat smooth.

Do keep your awareness, your underlying awareness that you know already that change is inevitable, that it must take place in order for growth, in order for you, and those you love the most, to have access to the opportunities that are waiting just around the corner.

Why, My Dearest Readers, do you continue to hesitate? Why do you stay in your cribs? Why do you cry yourselves to sleep at night, when you could be singing happy complacent lullabies, leading you in to a new world of dream reality that will aid you as you advance? Why do you continue to stay in the nursery, afraid to step out into the wonders of life? That is all that awaits, you know. It is just the wonders of life that await your beautiful presence. They are just waiting to present you with all that is being held for you.

Proceed now into the flow of universal energy. Become a part of the new millennium, this time of grand shift away from the human ego and into the new form that is not only necessary, but desirous of your discovery of it. Discover your true energetic potential. Allow it to venture into your life, unafraid because it is your true self and it desires to live.

Your lives, My Dear Readers, are not at all what you think they are. You are not so caught as you perceive. You are not so sleepy as you would like to believe. You are not at all incapable. You are, all of you, energy. And that, My Dears, is what you must continually tap into, your own well of energetic potential.

Begin this day sipping from your inner well of spirit, your own energy. And then open the nursery doors and step out into the energy of the universe that is ready to sweep you off your feet and bring you into the land of a new reality. But you are in charge of daring to change. And that is what I suggest you do now, right now. Dare your self to change. Accept your energetic potential. Accept your own ability to make change happen by taking the first step toward growth. You won’t regret a minute of it. Again, I dare you to dare your self!

#331 Create a Sacred Space For Your Inner Work

Dear Jeanne,
It’s Friday today, after an interesting week of questions and answers. What guidance can you offer us today?

As you know, my focus is always on the work of the self, the inner self, balanced with the outer self. This is your most important task as you seek evolutionary growth. It is also my mission, to guide you, and to teach you what it means to be an evolutionary being. Your place upon that Earth is granted you, as I have explained, by many circumstances of happenstance, but directly behind the randomness of those synchronicities that have placed you there is fertile intent that you take up the cause of an evolutionary being, to advance now to a new level.

So, that being said, today do I continue my urging of you all, that you stay upon your enlightened path, your path of intent, seeking always to discover the hidden secrets and mysteries of the self. Once you begin the process, so will you discover also your greatest attributes, for they lie caught in your truths, as yet unleashed, yet viable aspects of your progress. Many of you are working so well upon the self, doing marvelously, and I commend you. Many of you are beginning to re-awaken after a long sleep, re-discovering aspects of a younger self who was quite aware and connected; and many of you are discovering, for the first time, that you are in fact a spiritual being. Your own brand of spiritualism is unique, it is personal, it is an inner process that you alone are having. But do also remember that many others are having similar experiences, and they will understand what you mean if you begin to speak about your struggles and your woes.

I do love you and dare you to ask me my opinion and for my guidance in this channeling method. You must be guided by your inner questing self to dare to ask for aid, but know that you are asking universal questions, and that others struggle with the same issues. I wish to encourage you, but also to connect you to others through my messages; to allow you the knowledge that you are not struggling alone; that many others are seeking clarity, and working for advancement all around you. Do you not get the feeling that the questions and answers are meant for you, even though you did not ask them?

Continue to advance now upon your path. Beautify it as you go. Make your pathway attractive and inviting, so that you will enjoy stepping out into the journey each day. Consider your self an evolutionary being, an energy being, because that is exactly who you are. Invite your spiritually energetic self to pave your way, to light your path, to create a lovely peaceful pathway that you may daily walk upon, with calm intent in you and surrounding you.

Your inner sanctum is maintained in keeping inner balance and by doing the deep work on the self. But I also suggest that to have your outer environment conducive to such work will offer you extra energy and incentive to do the work. Create a sacred space for your inner work. Turn your outer environment into a mirror environment of who you are innerly. Bind your self in this inner work by allowing your self the opportunity, and the gift, to live steeped in the truths of the spirit seeking self.

Take some time this weekend to sanctify your intent within a spiritually based environment that has meaning to you. Do something for your self that will please you. Take a step in outer transformation that will remind you that yes, I am an energy being, and this is something that is meaningful and special to me alone. Place an anchoring memento in a special place, create a garden, fix a picture upon the wall, buy a meditation cushion, or construct your own. Build a sanctum. However tiny and insignificant it may be, so will it remind you that you are a seeker, and you need and deserve a brief glimpse of a reminder of this aspect of the self as you live your busy life and as you struggle with the deep mysteries of the self. Anchor your self daily in some manner. Do not be superstitious, or overly attached to a symbol of support, but find some place of meaning, some personal memento that will aid you, reminding you and fixing you daily upon your path.

If your energy calls you to do something grand, or on a larger scale, so keep your inner work in your heart center as you create your place of nurture. Use your work as an anchor to calm and center you. Use your quiet contemplation as a time not only of constructive hands-on work, but as a time of deep inner work, and in so doing will your grand scheme be built upon your inner awakening process.

Allow it to evolve. Allow your creation, whether tiny or extravagant, to continually evolve, as you too evolve. You may find, in the end, that as you grow innerly and find inner peace, full of the bounty of your truths, that your outer anchor need not be so boldly stated, and that simplicity will suit you best.

Live in beauty My Dears; it will nurture your inner beauty to receive the gift of beauty in your outer life. You will find beauty in the simplest of things, in the barest of natural phenomena, and in the most unusual inner meanings. Find your place of anchoring beauty. Set it before you, to guide and nurture you as you do your inner work. Many of you may instantly know what this anchor is, where to place it, and how to evolve with it. Others of you, I know, must take your time. But I urge you to be open, to not look too hard, but to allow your inner seeking self to point out to you, with resonance, what will be your right anchor.

Give your selves a gift, my Dears, a token of your progress, a signal of your spiritual self, a sign that you are indeed on this path of growth. Allow your self to be reminded that this is a special path to find, to acknowledge, and to remain on. Good luck as you continue to grow. And don’t forget to keep looking for the signs that are being pointed out to you as you make your way.

Find beauty and inner contentment upon your path. And if you have trouble getting anchored, just ask for help. We are here to guide you. I love you all, My Journeying Ones!
