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.

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

Continue your conscious and concerted efforts to change. Allow shift to happen, accepting your appointment with a destiny that is not forecast as of yet, but unfolds as you allow your self to trust that your life is ready and waiting for you to experience it.

Do not seek to pull toward you new reasons for inhibiting your growth or for delaying the process of change. Seek to remain flowing and open to the energy that is available to aid you, at all times, though the pull to attach to new devices of purpose and reason may be great. This energy of now asks for your complete trust. It asks for your complete attention to how it is presented, to what it truly offers, and to the flow of its direction. With detachment from purposeful control and conceit you will find that a natural life will open before you, a life full of adventure, a life full of spiritual experience, and a life full of joy.

This energetic time of now is preparing you to accept the fact that you do not, in fact, have much control at all. You may think you do, but you may realize, if you allow your self to be so bold, that your issues of control merely sink you deeper into the mud of regret and discontent. How do you remove your steady and willing feet from that sucking pull of false safety?

You begin by daring the self to trust the energy to take you to a new level of awareness and to a new awareness of the energy that is all around you. Dare the self to trust the energy, to open the heart and the doors that house the fears that hold you back, and say: Take me where I need to go.

I accept the energy of good and of growth.

I accept my appointment with the flow of life, unhindered by my fears and the worries that have wrapped me in a cloak of despair and kept me mired in a life of unconsciousness.

I desire new life. I open myself to new life, new energy and flowing openness.

I trust my journey. Let my journey truly begin.

With this opening prayer may you remain open to the experiences that are ready and waiting to swiftly carry you forth. May you attain your true openness. May you leave your fears and worries behind in the mud of regret and decay. May you find your own energy of heart and desire for spiritual connection to be all you need, as you reach out into the energy that connects all things.

May you allow the self a new beauty now, steeped not in the things of that world, but in the life and experiences of all the other worlds you have been rejecting, for there is much more available than you will ever be able to fathom in that lifetime. You are in the beginning stages of accepting the truths of the energy of the soul. Now it is time to trust that this energy is yours, that it does not just belong to a select or talented few. It belongs to everyone.

This is my mission: to teach you all to connect with the greater energy through first trusting and utilizing your own. Free your self a little more each day. Meditate not on the problems of that world, but shift to meditating on connecting with the greater energy. In so doing will you gain a new perspective on the problems of that world. Their significance will diminish and your role will become clearer as you detach from the muddy earth and enter the higher realms of understanding. You are all fully capable. You just have to dare the self to step outside of that reality and trust the adventure of the experiences of the self as an energetic being, who is fully capable of discovering other realities far more enticing than the one you reside in.

This energy continues to offer opportunities for shift and connection. Do not be afraid to dare the self to believe that everything is possible. Do not push away the experiences you are having, whether in dreaming or in waking life. Do not dismiss the feelings of energy that you may physically experience. Accept a new reality, the self as energy, and go exploring, and then don’t stop.

Anchor your self in your life upon that earth, but allow that to change with you as you make the leap to trust the energy of the self and the energy of growth and connection. Pretty soon you will discover a more flowing life over all; one where you more easily shift back and forth, unafraid of change, and unafraid of experiences of energy and exploration into the unknown.

Once you begin to explore the unknown it will become the known, the familiar, and this will lead to new doors opening so that you may continue to enter the next unknown territory. Continue your process of self-study. Your inner work and outer work are crucial to this adventuring process, for only in resolving the issues of the self, in fully knowing the self, will you be free enough to allow the self to take these daring steps into the adventures of the energy, into the great brilliant unknown.

Have fun! There is nothing to fear. You will only be meeting the energy of the self and learning what it means to become whole and one with all things, all energy, all that is endlessly alive.

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

Opt for progress, allowing shift to happen naturally, as it will, but notice also all the signs pointing to change and the alignment of issues, which have long been prepared and given attention. All is in place now. The final push must come from within. This is the moment of decision and choice to move forward, in a new direction, though the consequences of such a move may present you with more than a few new issues to tackle. But, I must say, this is how progress happens, and this is how fear is overcome, by pushing forward despite the fact that there will be consequences and challenges.

All change carries with it the energy of disruption, and within such energy are the true momentum and the true reason for pushing forward. Frustration and discord will continue to build until you make your move. These are the signs of your own discontent rumbling beneath the surface, urging you to go forth with your plans and with your daring new engagements in life. To allow such energy to guide you now will refuel your inner determination and your latent energy of desire for change. In merging with such energy of change you will find that you will not lack for the means to continue as you make your choices and decisions.

Whether you are now faced with a small choice, a small step, that will open many new doors or a large step that may throw you immediately into a new life, so must you dare the self to trust that each step will be the right one. Once you have pushed through your discord your way must be free of regrets and sadness, as you fully acknowledge that there is no other path for you to take.

Today is a day of choice making, with plenty of energy building beneath and behind to accompany you forward as you determine your future. This energy is present so that change upon that earth may move things in a new direction, for all concerned.

Are you ready?

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

Allow the energy to guide you, but do not simply acquiesce to its flow. Use it to release you from your old patterns and habits. Become aware of its power and its presence, but do not give up your own abilities to read the energy and utilize it for where you are now in your life.

I do not suggest that you ever give up your own conscious decision-making, but always remain grounded in who you are, where you are, and what you have before you. However, I do stress learning to read the energy of the universe and understanding the interconnectedness of all things, so that you may base your decisions on the knowledge that energy truly is available to be utilized, finding that it may actually help in your decision making process.

I suggest keeping an open mind about how energy can be useful. Maintain awareness of the interconnectedness of all things so that your decisions do not appear to be made in a vacuum. Be aware that they are, in fact, greatly affected by outer energy and impacting on outer energy. You are not alone in your struggles, My Dears. Consider the fact that every choice you make has a whole host of ripple effects. How can you say that you feel alone and are burdened with the woes of the world on your shoulders, if every step, action, and choice you make impacts the entire world around you?

Perhaps the idea of interconnectedness may further aid you if you realize that every choice and decision you make will flow outward and forward into the currents of energy and, if you let them go, they will continue flowing, carried forth by the energy, shifting, changing, and merging, always in flux. Do you see what I mean by this image? Every choice you make, once made, is already released, at the moment of decision, and immediately impacts, but also immediately changes. Upon release from your furrowed and wondering brow, each decision is set free, sent on its journey into the energy.

As your actions, your utterances, your decisions to change are sent outward from your mental and physical body, your personal energy flows with them and thus begins to engage the outer energy, begins the process of interconnecting with all other energy, and begins its own journey. Once you make a decision to do, or to change, or to act upon something that is necessary and meaningful, you have, in essence, released a part of the self into the interconnected web of all energy, allowing for change to further happen. As long as you hold back, hold on, or refuse to change, your own energy will have to bear the tension of your reluctance to access the greater interconnected energy, and you may suffer for a long time in great discomfort, whether physical, mental, or emotional, until you allow the self to finally let go, in a conscious decision to allow the energy of the self to join the greater energy outside of you.

In releasing into the interconnectedness of all energy, by simply setting an intent, by asking for guidance, by making a decision, by allowing the self to let go of some long-held belief, or by trusting that the energy is available, you open the door to not only joining the interconnected energy, which allows for the natural flow of change to happen, but you also open the self to receiving much energy in return.

To constantly release into the interconnected web of all energy is a very trusting proposition, and I know it is difficult to let go of control and attendance to the personal world you inhabit. And although I do not advise a giving-in kind of letting go, as I said, (although that may also be necessary at times, which I will address another time) I do advise an intelligent and thoughtful allowing of beginning to test the energy of interconnectedness in small increments.

Allow the self to see what happens today, as you release some aspect of the self that is creating tension or conflict into the universe. Release it with the intent of allowing it to go with the flow, keeping the door of release open now, rather than simply closing it up again. In keeping that tiny door open, you may receive the energy that has been waiting for you for a long time.

Do not be afraid, My Dear Ones. Your energy is waiting to more fully join its partner energy in the greater universe, from whence it came, and to which it will, one day, fully release again.
