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

Today is a day to be practical, succinct, and clear, but, above all, sensitive to the needs of the self and others. Do not fall prey to the big babies, the fear mongers, or the uninformed. Stay focused on heart-centered knowing and inner guidance and your day will, most assuredly, go smoothly.

Quiet contemplation must be your tool for a successful outcome to the days’ challenges. This is going to now become, by far, your most pertinent and useful tool, both for navigating the outer world and for staying connected to your inner world.

This is a day of confined challenge. You will not need to go much beyond your own issues today. Look for them being reflected back to you in each encounter that requires inner contemplation, though those encounters may appear to be purely objective outer dilemmas or confrontations. In essence, this is a day of intense personal scrutiny, though it will be by outer reflection.

Look closely at the mirror presented to you and ask the self to consider the deeper meaning for the inner you. Remain aware, connected, and quite present as you go about this inner contemplation, for your energy will also be needed in your outer world. Good Luck!

Dear Jeanne,
What message do you have for your readers today?

Align now with the conviction of your heart and your knowing self, facing your challenges, and forging ahead. For only in conviction and attachment to the greater good of the heart’s desire will fulfillment be attained. I do not anticipate failure for anyone if your goals are true heart-centered goals, if your path is viable, if your truth is continually spoken innerly and outerly, if your guidance is pure, and if your means do not conflict with your heart’s greater intent to evolve.

This is a time now of brightness to come. A gleaning of life ahead will be glimpsed and the path revealed if the focus remains heart-centered and pure. I cannot stress enough that truth of heart is your greatest guide and this you know, even though you may not yet have dared to listen to it. Abide by your inner desires to live in purity of this heart-centered self, with alignment of purpose, living fully from this place of truth.

Attainment is achievable; it is in full view. Do you not see it? Continue to urge the ego self to listen more closely to what is truly being spoken. Your quiet heart speaks most loudly and clearly when you need its sound advice most urgently. Listen to your heart, remain upon your path, keep to your strong inner convictions of growth, truth, and prosperity of real evolution of spirit. That is your charge!

Dear Jeanne,
What message do you have for your readers today?

Remain quietly cognizant of the inner self at all times. Even though storms may rage and disruptions arise, it is the stable, heart-centered path that must remain in your awareness. Though the veils will undoubtedly fall before your eyes again, do not lose sight of the connection between your softly speaking truthful heart and the path beneath your feet.

It is time now to fully understand the path you have chosen. By your heart’s yearning for change and recognition, and by the signs placed before you, pointing out a new direction, so have you begun a new journey based on resonance and acceptance of the self as ultimate guide. Though your decisions may still be tenuous, and your path but slowly being revealed, so is your heart urging you to continue in this new direction of resonance and knowing.

If resonance is not felt, if the path beneath your feet does not feel right, does not receive your every step, then stop and sit a while until the mist clears and you can clearly see where you are. If your path of chosen resonance is a mistaken one, based on preconceived notions and unclear messages, there is no fault in stepping off it to find a new path. For in the end, the only path that will be right must be the one of complete resonance.

By this I mean that your heart, your feet, and your guides, signs, and supports, must all align in a clarity that resonates. Such a path is still going to be challenging. In order to truly be able to accept the journey that your heart points out so clearly, and in order for true evolution, you must recognize the challenges as inner challenges, to be dealt with by you alone.

Why are you now on this path? What are your challenges? They may be old or even ancient, archaic, challenges, or they may be new advancing ones. They may be newly acquired or simply newly shone, as if a bright light has finally picked them out for you because this is the right time to confront them.

Does your ego intrude too much as you seek your way? Describe your ego to your self so that you may clearly understand how it operates to both propel you and offer you challenges, great and small. Does your ego push you now upon this path that is so right, or does it inhibit your every step? Are you still battling ego over spirit desire?

This is why I ask, today, that quiet communing with the inner self is necessary, in order to more fully understand what is going on in your life as you continue your journey. Each day are you offered challenges and each day must you make a decision about how to address those challenges. Abide by the truths of your spirit in making your decisions, for only in asking your heart-centered self for truth and guidance will your resonance pick up the correct choices and decisions to make.

Sit in quiet time, contemplating the self, and ask for a fuller understanding of who you are. Ask for clarity so that you may connect your puzzle pieces and gain understanding of how and why your journey is as it is. Do not push aside the thoughts that arise. Write them down. Accept the fact that you must, each one of you, no matter how enlightened, face challenges to your ego, your spirit, and your outer world and all that it encompasses.

Inner contemplation leads to outer clarity. Inner contemplation leads to inner clarity. Inner contemplation leads to clarity of vision, for this moment in time, and, however brief it may last, so does it offer you a glimpse of the true nature of self in the universe.

Do not forget that you are an evolving energy being. No matter how stuck you may feel, how uncertain of your path, whether new or old, how unworthy you may perceive your good fortune, or how challenging your perceived misfortunes, please learn to trust that the journey you are on is truly significant, for it is leading you to understand the self.

The self is body, spirit, thought, consciousness, awareness, and knowing energy. The self is all things. The challenge is to remove the blockages that keep you from this awareness of self as all things, all energy, all awareness. Once you gain a glimpse of the self as all things you begin to understand the insignificance of the self as ego, as matter, as brain and body. For what matters is the energy of self as part of that wholeness of all things, as light, as part of the interconnectedness of all things.

Continue your inner work. Find your spiritual path in that life and you will begin to more fully understand the whys and hows of who you are and the meaning of that life. Stay connected: heart to path!

Dear Jeanne,
Do you have some guidance for your many readers today, as we begin a new week?

Continue on your forward journeys opting for change, for progress, and for true growth. Though I ask that you choose growth, so do I also know that there are many deep feelings and emotions that must be confronted even as you so seamlessly choose to flow with the energies of life that wish for change. It is not easy to move along when others in your life choose quite the opposite, when others choose to stay put or split off in another direction without you. Change may produce joy and freedom at your deepest resonance, yet may it also produce sadness and even regret.

How do you move on when such feelings arise? How do you leave behind the people and the situations that you have long been tied to? How do you aid others as you move on, asking them to be present for themselves now? How do you free your energy so that it may be more fully available?

Progress and change are energetic opportunities, My Dear, as much as they are physical or practical opportunities. To choose to move forward because it is the only right thing for you to do is an energetic option that will allow for further growth in life and spirit. If energy is blocked or slowed then there will be difficulties. Yet, as blockages are removed and allowed to flow in the river of life, offered new life as you release them, so does all life have an opportunity to evolve and flow.

I speak today of being able to continue your progress without re-burdening your self. I speak of continually shedding attachments to the old ways of doing things so that all who know you will understand that you are doing things differently now. I speak of each one of you opting to flow with the energy that is available; more freed each day as you lovingly, from your heart-center, release your attachments, knowing full well that there is energy enough available for all in your care and your life, if they choose to engage it.

There is always energy available to aid and favor those who choose change that is right. In choosing to further engage in life in a manner that is energetically resonant, you are choosing to truly engage in life and all that it offers. By doing so, you become a grand example for others who struggle to release in the same manner; for all wish, underneath it all, to truly grow.

Many simply do not know how to allow themselves such a daring move. They do not, for fear of ridicule or disappointment, know how to take even the first step toward growth. Show them, by your example, how to do this.

By your example you show that life is full of eagerness for change and for adventure. By your example you offer others the opportunity to dare themselves. By your loving detachment you remove your negative thoughts and regrets from others so that they may be free enough to do what you are so hungry to do. Appetites for energetic life, once whetted, are hard to satiate. By your example you show that it is truly acceptable to eat of the fruits of true energy and true potential. By your example you free your own energy to more fully engage in nurturing new energy, even as you offer others a fine example of living a life in flux, the greatest desire of all beings upon that earth.

All beings desire to flow with life. By your own brave example you offer an opening in the seemingly dense pathway, an opening in the trees of life, through which one must forge a means and a way, looking always for the path of resonance. By your example you show the means, the energetic means, to truly forge a daring path of truth, beauty, and endless spiritual resonance.

Do not stop. Keep going. By your example do you learn what it means to be a guide, a mentor, and a spiritual companion to those who watch, who wait, and who desire to do the same.
