At some point in life, I decided I was not going to be a victim of my circumstances, but I had to question, what could I do to understand the circumstances that life had led me into? That was the beginning of my shamanic journey of recapitulation. The Recapitulation Diaries tell the story of that journey of change.
A new book, All The Gifts You Are Given: Re-imagining the life you are in, from a higher spiritual plane, gives further insight into how to question and evolve in the life circumstances we find ourselves in. This is not based on my own life but comes from a higher plane of knowledge, which we all have access to.
This new book could not have been written had I not taken the arduous journey of recapitulation, a journey to retrieval of my own soul and the journey it had thus far taken, understanding it all from a new and deeply satisfying perspective. Horrible and beautiful in its unfolding, that journey nonetheless brought me back to my true self and connection to the knowledge of the greater Universe of which we are all a part, that which we all sense and so long for.
This knowledge of and connection to the true spirit within all of us are what Chuck and I write and speak about, and with which we seek only to inspire others.
One of the biggest lessons I have learned from spirit is to have patience.
“Don’t push,” Spirit says, “if you wait, what you need will come to you in the right way.”
Find your way back each day to the true you, to the one who knows you so well, all your faults and all your goodnesses, all your fears and all your dreams. This real you begs to not be forgotten but only to be included in your life. It does not judge you but wishes only the best for you. This real you loves you the way you are, like a mother loves a newborn child, and yet it knows your fuller potential. It asks you to grow a little bit more each day, to show it what you are truly made of, and to prove to it what it already knows about you, that you are capable of anything, especially of including it in your life, the true you, your first Soulmate, who loves you unconditionally and needs you as much as you need it. Together you make a great pair!
Here is Jeanne’s message to us all for this week and this energetic time. May we all find the means to access the energy of now.

From a place of calmness observe your life, the life you have created as well as the life that has created you. Be honest and open to both truth and possibility so that you may fully know the self. Once the truth of life and self is accessed and accepted—once it becomes the foundations of your awareness of the self in the here and now—then new steps can be taken and progress resumed.
Energetically speaking, there has occurred volatile movement. You may see this all around you. You may hear it, see it, feel it. Maintain awareness of energetic energy separate from the solidly human self. Put aside your head, your reasoning and judging self, and simply observe this energy in the same manner that you might put aside your thinking, judging self to observe your physical life.
With the two truths of physical and energetic self acknowledged and in hand, you are now equipped to move onward into a new phase of life. In sobriety of self, fully accepting of all that you know and observe, I ask that all of you humbly take full responsibility for who you are and who you have the potential to become, i.e.: the higher self. Accepting who you are in a humble manner opens the doorway to accessing that higher potential self.
You may experience your potential as a mere idea or ideal, but keep in mind that everything is energetically possible. Keep in mind that aside from your solid human form, you are energetically comprised of everything you need to reach your fullest potential. Isn’t it finally time to embrace the energetic self and advance to a new level?
I encourage all of you to leave judgments behind—of self and others—and, as you challenge the self to move on, challenge others to do the same, knowing that by your humble example you offer the greatest means and the greatest help.
Universal energy abounds, ready to be shared equally. You alone have the potential, within your own life and your own circumstances, to utilize it in a new positive way and set a new momentum going for all others to hook into, those in your life, but all others in the world as well. A potential for a new movement is always present, but now more than ever. Even if you have no ultimate vision in sight, it is enough to begin a new trend in the direction of good. Strive always for that and you will be well on your way to solving the issues that now plague you and hold you back.
Seek the good inside you, even while you seek joy in your life. Energetically speaking, in combination of joyousness and goodness, you cannot go wrong! With those two energetic companions accompanying you through life, your outlook for a brighter future is well on the way to being fulfilled.
You are the change you seek. Without fear face your future and know that it is waiting for you, just as you wait for it, with open arms. Fuller life is there in your future, but you must head out to meet it. It cannot find you without your help, physical and energetic help alike. You must be fully present for that to occur, active and alert. In taking action, all that you wish for will become a reality. That is the secret to taking responsibility for the self: take action on your own behalf!
