#512 A Day of Gratitude

Jeanne Marie Ketchel
Channeled by Jan Ketchel

Dear Jeanne,
Do you have a message for us today? Thank you so much for all the guidance you regularly give us.

It is interesting that you send that thank you, for this is a day of gratitude. Synchronistically speaking, it is a time of ritual energy, of personal space, and of self-acceptance as an individual of purpose and intent. Personal intent must always involve the recognition of the desire to grow and evolve, and this is what I seek always to remind you of.

I suggest that you each, My Dear Readers, take a few moments to thank the self for taking the journey you embarked upon at your birth into that life. Offer the self a solemn yet tender moment of acceptance and recognition of the journey thus far taken, and place a new invigorated intent to continue to grow.

The energy of this day is quite appropriate for setting intent, for giving thanks, for self-acceptance, and for new offerings to be made that have personal significance. The energy of today is charged with possibility outside of you, but it also asks for inner self-reflection of a positive, nurturing sort.

I, Jeanne Marie Ketchel, ask that you each tend to the self today, as an evolving being, as an energy being, as a loving and compassionate being, offering the self the nurturance of acceptance and acquiescence to the journey you are on. I ask that you allow your self to flow with your life, from this moment on, with your awareness continually noting your way, marking the significance of your journey through the changing energy of time.

Regard your self as a journeyer today. Accept your self as an energy being. Reward your self with the intent to continue growing. Make a solemn vow, offer a prayer, or meditate upon your intent to allow your journey to show you where to go next, asking the self to be open, to flow more readily. For what awaits you as you step forward, never stopping upon your path of growth, is new energy, new insight, and new growth.

Your journey is waiting for you to take it. Please allow your self to see the possibilities that may come your way as you open your heart to your self today, offering your self the journey that lies at your feet and on your horizon. Open your eyes to the journey of the self!

#511 Ripple Effect

Jeanne Marie Ketchel
Channeled by Jan Ketchel

Dear Jeanne,
Do you have guidance for us as we begin a new month, a new workweek, and a new day?

Do not despair over the difficulties, the idiosyncrasies, and the tests that life presents. Even in death is there new life, in endings are there beginnings, and each new day, and even each new moment, offers the opportunity for change and new perspectives to develop and lead you on your journey through that life.

Time is essentially of no consequence. The only things that matter are seeking the truth, staying upon a path of spirit, living and learning to live a compassionate life freed of attachments, judgments, blame, or regret. It is also important to be open to life’s changes, which are presented in order for you to learn self-love and love of all creatures and beings upon that earth. Each moment of each day are you also experiencing your self as an energy being and this is what I am going to stress today, for you pose a question, asking for guidance at a period of transition and change. This is a very significant time for those of you who are aware of your selves as beings of energy and spirit, separate from body and mass, yet attached to body and mass as well.

During your time upon that earth, and this time specifically, it is wise to constantly remind your self that you are comprised of energy. Perhaps your energy is unseen, but it is not unfelt. It is fully impacting your world. Every move you make causes a ripple effect. Your every step upon that earth impacts not only the soil, the floor, the sidewalk, the ground upon which you step, but it also reverberates beyond just your weight upon the ground. Your presence is noticed; it is not taken for granted, even though you may, at times, feel that you are insignificant, or even quite invisible.

The ripple effect of your own energy is as potentially harmful as an earthquake. It is as potentially powerful as a tornado. It is as potentially beautiful as a starlit night, and it is as potentially peaceful as a calm lake. Your personal energy has great effect, its ripple effect more pronounced and impacting than you can imagine.

Today, I ask you all to consider what you do to affect the energy of the world. I ask this as a practical and pragmatic question, requesting that you study your usage and spoilage upon that earth. How do you personally impact the environment that is your personal world? Distill your personal world down to your very home environment from the moment you step out of bed in the morning. Ask your self, what impact am I making as I enter the world today? Am I aware, sensitive, cognizant of my energy and what it is doing to the world around me? Am I aware of myself as an energy being? Am I aware that I am important today and every day? Am I aware of the ripple effect that each choice and decision I make has on everything connected to that choice?

Is my energy conducive to spiritual living? Is my energy trusting and open to the awareness of energy outside of me? Am I ready to promote and engage the energy in a positive way today? Am I remaining open to the signs and guidance I receive? Am I aware that I am as important, as significant, and as impacting, as the most famous and powerful person I can think of?

This is your awareness lesson today: to own and acknowledge your personal energy as powerful, necessary, decisive, loving, desirable, and desiring of evolutionary growth, yet equally ready and willing to understand its place and necessity upon that earth, in the nitty gritty experiences of every day life.

I send you into energy life today with this little prayer:

I am aware of myself.
I impact the world.
I am responsible for every action,
decision, and choice I make.
I am an energy being
ready to shift and accept life
at a moment’s notice,
no matter what the circumstances,
because I have impact.
And with that notice firmly planted
I am ready to accept my challenges
and lead myself into my day
energy bound, energy aware, and energy thoughtful.

#509 As Old Worlds Shatter New Worlds Begin

Jeanne Marie Ketchel
Channeled by Jan Ketchel

Dear Jeanne,
Do you have some guidance to offer us now, as we continually attempt to remain grounded in a time of uncertainty? It feels as if major personal choices are being presented and along with such choices come major personal challenges as well.

This is a time of breaking up of the old, and rather than seeking to repair, to re-glue, and live with the illusion of wholeness, you are begin asked to pursue another avenue. This energy of now challenges you to stick with your inner heart-centered knowing.

What is the purpose of your life? You will not discover your true potential if you remain encased in your old ideas of self and the world, nor will you have access to what is constantly being offered. Are you tempted to break out of your shell? Are you afraid of what you might encounter if you do? Are you afraid to step out into the world, freed of burdens of old, because you will not know what to do with your dual feelings of emptiness and freedom?

As old worlds shatter new worlds begin to form. The challenge now is to allow the new world to form on its own, to not carry forth the shards and bits of the old world, but to leave them behind, for they carry no energy and they no longer bear any promise.

Your world may be shattering, breaking apart, shifting, changing, or even simply being redefined in some small but significant way. This is good energy coming from the universe of intent that demands such change and that requires each one of you to bravely accept the challenges in your life in order to learn to trust such energy.

If you allow your self to be unburdened your experiences will be manifold. You will feel fear and sadness, but you will also feel freedom and lightness of spirit. Your fear and sadness may be familiar old friends that you are reluctant to leave, but if you remain caught in the muck of reluctance your freedom and lightness of being will soon be swallowed up in the inertia that awaits your decision.

Inertia awaits to drag you back into the depths of your fear and reluctance, your two longtime partners. But on the other hand, freedom and energy of self seek to entice you forward, asking you to trust your journey, your spirit, and the energy of change that is here to aid you.

This is a time of decision-making. Often such a time is not accompanied by such determined and positive energy of change as is now present. If you dare to change, if you dare to move toward the lightness of self, if you dare to be daring indeed, your life will change dramatically, but it will also put you on the path of energetic intent, with much available to lead you and guide you on your way.

It takes daring to follow such energy into the unknown. It takes a great fight against the old comforts of fear and sadness, and it takes the fearless embracing of trusting in the energy of all that is good and positive, available to guide you if you are willing to surrender to that which desires only your connection to truth and true spirit.

Your God, your guides, your guardians, whomever offers you your truths, is waiting for your acceptance of what they have available for you. They ask for your trust and for your openness in order to be able to detach from the old and embrace the newness of not really knowing where you are headed, but daring to go anyway.

This is how you will discover your true potential, you know; by daring your self to acquiesce to what life offers, as it cracks open a new door, presenting you with a new opportunity to change and grow, but also to trust.

#508 Ride into Life as an Energy Being

Jeanne Marie Ketchel
Channeled by Jan Ketchel

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

Allow your selves to fully understand your own energy. Begin with finding and centering the inner you each morning as you awaken. Grasp the meaning of you, as an energy being and as a physical being simultaneously. These two selves are necessary for life upon that earth, but beyond that life the only aspect of self is self as energy.

Concentrate now on discovering, more fully, this energy self. Concentrate on learning to accept this self as the true self now, but also as the ultimate future self. Concentrate on acknowledging the experiences of this energy self in body and out of body, in waking and in dreaming, in your outer world and in your inner world.

Who are you as an energy being? What does your own personal energy feel like to you? Find this energy self more often, turning to it throughout your day as a means of contemplation, relaxation, and meditation, as a means of centering and grounding, as a means of balancing and discovering your two selves.

Anchoring in the energy self is your next step in truly remaining on the recapitulation path, the lifelong path of truth and self-acceptance. Only in finding and maintaining daily contact with this energy self will you maintain equilibrium and attain evolutionary enlightenment.

Your experiences of the self as energy now are meant to guide you through life. Look for these experiences in your life. Begin to document them, make note of them, make lists of them as they occur, so that you may begin to understand that you are having experiences of this sort quite often. Once you begin to note and recognize that these are true experiences, your experiences will take on a life of their own.

Part of this process involves acquiescence to the truth of this energy aspect of self. Acceptance of the fact that you are an energy being is only part of the process. To logically grasp what that means is one thing, but to surrender and allow your energy self to be in control will lead you to more experiences of this energy self, this spiritual self.

Open the doors and windows of the inner self wide today. Allow the energy of inner spirit self to be present in your day. Acquiescing to the truth of this self, while at the same time expecting experiences of this self, will allow for greater flow in your life, and greater flow will allow for notice of energy and experiences of energy.

Give your self a few minutes, each day, to begin a new practice of energy awareness. Even as you open your inner self wide to experiences of your own energy, shut down your physical self momentarily, going beyond the physical self, beyond feelings and emotions, beyond projections and archetypes, beyond everything you now consider as self to the ultimate experience of self as energy. (During the channeling I saw this as almost an alchemical process of distilling the self down to the essence of energy self, pushing away all physical properties and attachments, getting even beyond innocence, to pure energy, the inner gold.)

Access this aspect of energy self each day; invite it to emerge and sit with you as you ride through your day, up front in the driver’s seat, no longer slumbering in the back seat or packed away in the trunk of your vehicle. Ride now into life as an energy being, and see what happens as this awareness of self proceeds into your outer world, accompanying you to work, to play, to meals, to social visits, to moments of contemplation and to moments of conflict, to moments of trust and to moments of distrust, to moments of love and to moments of wariness of love. This energy self is your true self. Live your truth.

#507 Do Not Pollute

Jeanne Marie Ketchel
Channeled by Jan Ketchel

Dear Jeanne,
Do you have guidance for us today?

Today I would like to briefly expand upon my message regarding energy and energy usage as tied to your own presence upon that earth. In order to be an evolving spiritual being you must become aware of how your energy affects your personal world. Ultimately, each one of you is responsible for how you use your energy; how it is used inside and outside of you.

All energy is interconnected, and this is what I seek to stress. If you carry negative energy, you pollute the energy of the self, but you also pollute the energy outside of you. If you carry sad and depressed energy, your outer world will be affected by this energy as well. If you carry worry and the energy of attachment to worry, your outer world will reflect this, and so on.

Your ability to evolve is tied into your awareness of your own inner energy, what it tells you about your self, and what it shows you in your outer world. You are responsible for everything in your lives, My Dear Ones. Your issues control your energy and have impact outside of you. You may be good at hiding your deepest issues from notice, keeping them pushed down and locked from public view, but your energy does not lie about you; it cannot hide itself. Your presence in that world is as an energetic being, and this you must keep in mind.

Your inner work is your greatest challenge, and your energy release is too. Doing your inner work and resolving where the energy drains are, the energy basins that have kept your energy caught, allows your energy to flow freely. Once your inner conflicts are resolved your outer conflicts will also resolve because your energy will have shifted as a result of your inner work.

As your energy flows, increasing its attractiveness, so will your energy add exponentially to the energy outside of you. Your abilities to connect outside of you, to have impact in the world, and to increase your awareness as a spiritual being will also be impacted. Your energy will no longer pollute, or be drawn to polluted energy, but it will be clean, clear, and pollution free.

Of course, the process of remaining clear, non-polluting energy is a life long task. You must constantly attend to your inner issues as they arise, remaining aware of your energy drains and basins where you are prone to getting caught. By resolving to constantly adjust your inner energy, by constant recapitulation, by constantly being responsible energy citizens, you will be able to maintain a steady flow of energy that will connect with like energy, resulting in greater positive energy outside of you.

Your ability to affect the greater interconnected web of all energy is your responsibility, and this is what I seek to stress and point out today. You must each take back your projections and discover where your energy has gotten caught inside the self. Your ability to grow is solely your responsibility, your choice, and your necessity, if you are going to evolve.

This is a time of taking personal responsibility for everything in your lives. There is no blame factor allowed. It is simply necessary to own full responsibility for your lives, totally accepting the challenges you have presented your selves with. This is your life. Do you wish to live with negative energy or positive energy inside you and outside you? It is up to you. Your decisions affect not only you, but everything else as well.

Good luck as you continue your evolutionary journey. The quiet contemplative life is a very good one, allowing for self-study and positive energy gains, resulting in better understanding of the interconnectedness of all things, and better understanding of what it means to be a loving, compassionate, evolving, energy being.
