Dear Jeanne,
Do you have guidance for us today? Your messages are greatly appreciated by many people around the world. Your guidance is sound and we continue to be so grateful for our connection with you.

Today, I wish to stress the implications of not listening to the inner guidance of the self, the quiet voice that also speaks its own sound advice, for all of you have this ability to connect to the greater guidance available.

Tune in first to your inner self and get to know who you are as a spiritual energy being. Begin to recognize the signs of your capitulation to old ways, old habits, and old patterns of behavior, and understand that such regression draws you further from your anchoring and truthful inner self. Such regression, although damaging, is not fateful, but, if further embedding is allowed, your retreat from its talons may be slowed or stopped in its tracks.

Your greatest enemy is your old self. Your greatest ally is your ancient self, newly emerging, as you take your journey into truth. Allow this emerging self, this spiritual self connected to all things, to be your guide. As you attain new awareness, your ability to maintain new heights of attention must be cultivated. Your ability to bring your self back to this achievement of enlightenment is your greatest battle as you progress.

Each step you take must be viscerally logged and remembered, retained for future reference, but also future recall at a moment’s notice. As you take your journey, your latest steps must be recounted, but all your past steps must not be forgotten, or you risk falling into the hands of the old self.

Although your eyes are on the future, do not lose sight of the lessons you have learned, and the daily insights you must attend to. In order to maintain awareness, a new training in awareness of your journey must be a constant reminder of your enlightenment and your actual progress. I do not wish to speak in riddles, but to clearly state that awareness is key to your continued juggling of life’s challenges and life’s guidance.

Do not forget where you have been. Do not lose sight of your goal. Do not lose the insights you have gained, nor the deeper connection to self as motivator, as instigator, as investigator, as proclaimer, as archeologist, creator, and guide to your history upon that earth. Your time now may be your evolutionary time, if you can maintain awareness of all that is meaningfully presented to you, continually holding onto the facts that are showing you why and what for you are granted such lessons and such promise.

Your time now is a growing time, but it is also, absolutely, an awakening time. You are being offered a link to inner awareness so long buried by the outer world’s promises and structures of glory. But, in truth, those outer contexts unseat your inner self from its grounding and force you to project outward that which already exists within. Your growth is attached to reconnecting the thin lines of dialogue and spurring new energy into the inner passageways to the true self.

So today, I ask that you be aware of how you are prompted to forget this inner self, how you are constantly snipping the lines of connection, and how you are offered the fog of oblivion to teach you what you need to know. The fogs and veils that confuse and hide your truths are present as teachers, so do not wish them away too quickly, but use them to hone your skills of clarity and intent. Use them to seek deeper, to turn further inward for your answers to life, rather than allow them to fog your insights and blur your vision of the true path at your feet.

Make practical decisions, take pragmatic steps, remain honest, giving, and compassionately loving in the outer world that gives you everything you need to be allowed to take your inner journey. Learn to trust that the outer world is as much your guide, your protector, your teacher, as your inner world and your inner connections are. You will find what you need in your outer world to point you in the right direction in your inner world. The two worlds are synchronized so that you may grow. They may appear to be in conflict, but I suggest that this is, in fact, not so, for they each seek only to teach you how to evolve.

I hope my guidance may continually aid you, My Dear Readers. If you ask your self to constantly maintain awareness of self as a journeyer upon a new path of magic and enlightenment, with awareness of each step of your travels through life as equally meaningful and full of guidance as the next, so may you always remain open to life’s glory and desire, as well as its true commitment to you as an individual seeking growth.

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

Today, I suggest taking some time to center the self, with inner centering, heart-centering if you prefer. Do this often, for only in centering the self will you be prepared for the energy outside of you as it comes to shake you up, propel you along, or flow with you, as you make your way.

A practice of inner centering is good to establish no matter what the outer energy is doing. Inner centering is a basic and practical method of establishing calmness and balance, but it will also allow you to be more energetically conducive and appropriate in your life.

With inner centering you may notice that the energy outside of you is not so interesting or so disruptive. With inner centering you may notice that your old habits are not so greedy for your attention, and your big baby self may slumber more peacefully. With inner centering you may find that your mature adult self is much more interesting to have around because your awareness may peak and wish for greater exploration and continued presence in your life. With inner centering as a daily practice you may find that you learn what it means to be compassionately detached, compassionately loving, and compassionately present in your world. With inner centering your own presence upon that earth may be more acceptable to outer energy, more conducive to spiritual work, and more prepared for what may come.

Your presence upon that earth is your greatest certainty at this moment. You do exist upon that plane. How you choose to exist is up to you. Are you seeking solace and happiness, calmness and love, energetic flow and greater awareness? If you are at all interested in being an evolving energy being, I highly suggest that a practice of inner centering become your means of attaining not only momentary calm, but greater awareness of self, of others, of your environment, and of the greater world around you, both physically and energetically.

Sit calmly. You need not take any special actions, unless you prefer a stricter routine. Simply sitting alone, releasing your thoughts, and focusing on either your heart-center, or any other chakra center of the body, is certainly appropriate. Breathe gently and directly into the chakra area you choose to accept as your place of calm, or simply breathe softly and gently without focus, if you prefer. It does not really matter. What does matter is that you allow your self a calm respite as you begin to more fully accept your self for who you are now, without judgment, without worry, without sadness, or anger, or disturbance of any sort. Simply be. Suspend the self in momentary calm. Allow the self to be nothing more than energy riding your calm breathing; a gentle energetic being asking nothing, needing nothing, wanting nothing, for a few moments. In such reverie will you begin to awaken your own energy self. In such calmness will you begin to tap into resonant energy, and you will begin to find that this practice of inner centering will give you more energy, but it will also begin to shift your awareness of your outer world. The more you do it the more you will find that your presence upon that earth will become more defined, more meaningful, and your purpose clearer.

As you elect to more fully embrace the self as an energy being, your physical world, with its problems, aches and pains, worries and stresses, will not appear so overwhelming. Your channel to your own calm happiness and mature energetic self will open wider and remain open. Your big baby will slumber more often, and your relationships will blossom with new understanding.

In an ideal world, everyone would choose to do such inner calm centering before each meeting, each discussion, each decision, each confrontation, each choice; before each process undertaken, or step that must be made. If such practice became more common then you would, indeed, begin to see great change.

I wish you, My Dear Ones, calm inner centering. Give your self a gift today, a moment’s respite, but also a moment’s energy!

Dear Jeanne,
Do you have some guidance today?

Do not be conciliatory or regretful of the steps taken in your life. Do not harbor hatred or fear of the self or others for decisions made. This is a time of forging ahead, clearly knowing that the path ahead is open and waiting for your presence upon its open road.

Your progress is certain, for you exist, but do not take for granted that you will evolve, for evolution takes work and awareness, taking into consideration the lessons learned. The lessons learned as you travel your path in that life must be utilized, stacking up as books of knowledge, read over and over again until they are ingrained in your visceral memory and brought forth in your everyday life.

Your evolution is not granted simply because you exist. In order to evolve, a conscious decision to be open to the possibilities offered in life must be adhered to, no matter what comes to shake you up or disturb your reverie.

This is a time of convergence. Many energies are now intermixing, producing confusion, at first, but patience will allow for truth to be revealed as the stars and planets realign in more practical design soon enough. This practical design will allow for greater focus. Your desire to evolve will reassert and your desire to change will become more clearly defined in both direction and method. This is the open path ahead that I speak of today.

A time of void, of unclarity, of foggy or cloudy thoughts and vision lies ahead. Through this time I suggest attention be paid to your books of knowledge, your lessons thus far learned, especially those of late, for they are the most pertinent reminders of your current progress and your current process.

I predict (I often do not like to be so bold as to use that word, but I will today!) that life will be just fine just beyond this time of void. Your plans for the future will be revealed as either correct decisions or faulty in some manner, allowing you to make new decisions as you see what presents itself next.

Take things a little slowly for the next few days. Walk in inner peace. Play at establishing calm practices of inner contemplation while you work at rereading your recent lessons learned. Work and play in steady balance will enable you to maneuver through this time of convergence and subsequent void until the mists of life’s energy clear and your way reveals itself again.

I offer this message today as incentive to remain in alignment with your hopes, your dreams, your purposes in life, for they will be revealed more clearly; it is just a matter of time.

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

This is a day of conquest, a day of capitulation to the truth as it is shown, revealed, and repeatedly stressed to you. Realization of the self as a human being, with many facets of needs and desires, is essential in order to continue your journey as an evolutionary being. Today is a day of acceptance of this human self who so desires your acknowledgment and your acquiescence. When I speak of conquest and capitulation, I speak of the inner self and the outer self in battle and yet also in agreement that it is time to proceed now on a journey of partnership, companionship, and balanced awareness, fully owning that each aspect of the self is necessary and essential.

You know who you are. You have been shown the truths of the self. Now it is time to allow those truths entry into the place of knowing that you guard so readily from intrusion. This place of inner knowing is not meant to be a separate place of purity or sanctity, but a place of raw and blatant truths. It is capable of accepting what is truth, ready to own that which is, in fact, truthfully necessary to own. This place of inner knowing will reject that which is not important or worthy of entry. It will refuse that which has been forced upon you by outer judges and condemners. Your place of inner knowing has been waiting for all truths of the self to flow in, unheeded, unimpeded, and unguarded by your self-restrictions and self-judgments. This is a day of self-conquest, a day to wrestle down your fears that block your truths and keep you in the land of unknowing where your progress is slow and your leap forward untaken.

By acquiescence to the bare and utter truths of the self your leap forward may now become your next step, and this, My Dears, is exactly what you want in your path. But I must warn you that it is a leap of faith that is being presented to you. In some manner, you are all being asked to move forward now, to leap into the unknown, to gather your wits, and go with nothing but your faith in the energy of life to carry you forward.

This is what a leap of faith means. It involves trust and acknowledgment of the greatest truths of the self, the lovely truths, but also the ugly truths. It involves the ability to trust that your journey is presenting you with exactly what you need, and it is being capable of allowing the self to let go of control of all that you have thought was so important in life. Now the energy of conquest and capitulation asks you to accept your truths, gather your wits, trust your journey, and leap forward into the unknown, fully aware that you are doing so, but also fully allowing your self to take such a leap because you know you are guided, aided, and shown what to do each step of your journey.

Trust your journey. It will show you where to go, but nothing will happen if you do not take the leap. No journey will materialize if you do not move out of your complacency. No energy of truth and trust will show you the way if you do not spur your self out of the doldrums and into the life you envision, desire, and want, in order to grow. Your perfect life awaits. What are you waiting for?

You are already on the journey you desire. You are living it every day. But in order to reach your dreams, you must wrestle your fears to the ground and realize that your dreams are at your command.
