A Windy Day!

I’m working on my regular Wednesday blog but in the meantime a terrific windstorm is blowing outside. If the power goes out I’ll get my blog posted as soon as possible after it gets restored. This is the kind of southerly wind that does a lot of damage and with our recent server-being-down issues I just wanted everyone to know that we’re still here. So, should the wind not take out a few trees or sheer off our new roof that the tornado damaged two weeks ago you’ll be hearing from me again later in the morning.
Have a great day! -Jan

#737 Be Filled With Mirth & Joy

Sorry for any inconvenience or frustration that our recent difficulty with the server shutting down may have caused. Here is Jeanne’s message for today, a little delayed due to this problem. Hopefully all has been fixed and we are once again fully accessible and flowing. Have a great day!

Jan Ketchel channeling Jeanne Marie Ketchel

Dear Jeanne,
Although I have no specific question for you today, I request that you leave us with a concise and clear message of guidance for all your readers. So, with that in mind, what advice or guidance do you offer today?

My Dear Ones, do not be hollow inside as you do your inner work, but instead be filled with mirth and joy that you are fully capable of finding your way into your darkness. This alone is worth living for, for it is the ultimate journey.

In finding your way into your darkness you offer the self the pathway that will eventually lead you into the light. Do not be afraid of what you discover there, for it belongs to you. It is your means of growth and evolution. In awareness of each and every difficulty and challenge you will understand your journey, your life and the meaning of who you are more fully. Hold the self steady as you plod along your path with the knowledge that this is what you are searching for at all times: the details of the self, knowledge of the self.

Find peace at times in knowing that this is good. Find calmness in your deepest desire to truly live. Find happiness in the freedom to come, using the brief glimpses of it to carry you onward. You are all journeys, warriors, seekers of truth, are you not? And if not, what then? For there is nothing else to life if you are truly evolving beings.

Thank you Jeanne!

Most fondly and humbly offered.

A Day in a Life: Retreat

Dear Fellow Travelers,

As we begin this holiday season tomorrow, with Thanksgiving, Chuck and I go into retreat, giving our energy a rest from outward flow, pulling inward to our reserves, seeking replenishment and rejuvenation.

When I first started channeling Jeanne after she left this world, she showed me, in visions of her new life, a room that she retreated to quite often to replenish her energy. I understood that this was a most necessary requirement or she would not have enough energy to keep evolving. If she failed to give herself respite her energy would simply drain away and she would be of no help to anyone.

I also understood that this respite was something we must learn to give ourselves while we are still alive on this earth, that we must learn how to slow down and be grateful for the energy we have, learn to treat ourselves with respect and tenderness, learn to give to ourselves. This is not a selfish act, but in fact the most unselfish act that we as humans can undertake. If we can fully accept that we are energetic beings while in this world, we open up to understanding how our energy affects everyone and everything around us. This is also true of the people we choose to surround ourselves with; their energy effects us. If we are to be good energetic citizens of the world we must take time to contemplate how we effect and are effected by the people and world we choose to live in.

In essence, if we take care of our energetic selves, if we can allow ourselves some days of retreat from the structures, rituals and demands of the outer world and pay attention to the calls of the inner world, we begin to energetically change the world, first within the confines of our own lives and then beyond. We find that the people in our lives become energetically compatible, and eventually our energy is more easily replenished. We find it much easier to find that inner room that Jeanne so readily enters for her personal energy, our own personal inner room.

So we extend our thanks to all of you who so faithfully read our words and at the same time we pull back from writing our blogs for a few days, to retreat from the routine, to experience nature at this time of year, to be calm and at peace as we journey inward and experience energy. Jeanne and I will return on Monday November 29, 2010 with a new channeled message of energetic guidance and Chuck will return on Saturday December 4, 2010 with a new blog in Chuck’s Place.

Until then, in energy, we retreat and we give,
Jan

Chuck Ketchel, LCSWR
