#374 Invite Your Self to a Moving-On Ceremony

Dear Jeanne,
Do you have a message for all of us who are interested in the guidance you offer?

Do not falter in your convictions to stay upon the spiritual path though your days and nights may be fraught with disappointments and meanderings that you had not planned on. These are the challenges and the confrontations with reality that all must bear and all must accept as chores that lead to growth. I have spoken recently about the tidal wave of energy that seeks to interrupt your progress, that also seeks to shake you awake and perhaps knock you off your seat of complacency.

Do not dismiss the energy, for it carries with it always lessons to be learned. Do not hold your self too harshly accountable for the decisions you make as this energy unseats you, for it is obviously helping you to grow. The energy is asking for you to grow, to take innerly all that you have learned over the past few weeks, and to invite your self to a moving-on ceremony. It is time to underscore your truths of selfhood, to take on the mature, decisive actions that will move you on to a new place now.

Do not stand upon your path in one place any longer. Now is the time to move on, to choose your next step in evolutionary growth, whatever that may be in your life. It may entail only you; a decision to stick to your well-laid plans in spite of difficulties, back sliding, and interruptions by outside energies and others who do not comprehend your choices. Or your next move may entail a practical physical change that will outwardly affect you and others. Whatever your most necessary step is now is the time to make it, while the energy sits back a moment and watches what you decide to do.

This is the calm before the storm, so to speak. This is the utter knowing, the clarity that dawns upon you with such blatant and open insight that you cannot deny the reality of your place upon that earth. This is a time of personal revelation with utter knowing of consequences and it is up to each of you to determine how you will react to your truth being revealed to you so clearly.

I attempt now to urge you to accept your challenges with mature decision making, with truth speaking its clarity, with your heart open and ready to accept it. Base your next move on this inner truth, this inner you who so purely desires change that is focused on your inner spirit self and not on your outer projective ego self.

The energy sits back and awaits your decision, but it will not wait for long. So I suggest that you make your choices, set your plans, and determine your future; at least your most present future. The one that is right around the corner, the next few hours, the next few days, the next few weeks. Set your course, My Dears, and then stand strongly balanced in your heart-centered choice of change; firmly rooted in your convictions; standing in your truths; ready to act upon your choices.

The energy will come back upon you with a vengeance as this time of lull swiftly reverts to a time of chaos. There will be many things to confront in a few days time as this energy swirls up a storm of controversy, of delightful play, and incredible steam that will wish to play out in extraordinary ways and may knock you farther along your paths of challenge than you had anticipated. But know this, even now before the future unfolds in bizarre ways: You are safe. You are protected. You are choosing to lead a life of spirit and with inner spirit as your decision maker. Remain focused on this aspect of inner knowing self and you will do very well as things shift and become quite animated and volatile, yet also revealing of that which must be revealed in order for true progress, growth, and truth to prevail.

If you cannot accept your own truths, already so clearly revealed to you, how do you expect the world around you to accept the truths being revealed and so energetically pointed out? If each of you stays upon the path that is truly right for you, so do you energetically combat negative thinking and illusions that are daily presented. By turning your inner focus on achieving your own goals, so do you offer positive change as a new energetic component to be reckoned with upon that planet. Your life affects everything around you. By your choices do you affect how the world functions, how the world evolves, and how the world changes.

Remember, you are the choice maker in your own life and that is a most important aspect of who you are in the greater world. Be a good citizen of world change by being a good citizen of your own inner changes that are asking for your actions to be truthful, to be right, and to be clearly made for those reasons; because they are true and they are right. That’s all you need to do to move along on your path and take the next step. Walk in your truth.

#373 An Alignment That Will Aid Growth, But…

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

Anticipate success with all of your endeavors of self. Your projects of growth and determination to evolve are well supported and heavily protected now as a new phase is upon you.

What do you mean by new phase?

I speak in astrological terms, for they are most familiar to those of you who reside upon that earth. Many of you are aware of the factors of planetary alignment and the powers of the sun and moon in conjunction with each other and other planetary objects. For now is there an alignment that will aid growth. This I have been preparing you for over the past few months as I have taught you how to interpret the energy around you and how to use it well. I continue to urge you to recognize the energy, be aware of its intensity, but do not get drawn into it, or you will be lost in it. It will consume your own good intentions, for its own purposes, leaving you exhausted and dazed.

In order to remain alert and aware during this time of alignment, must you organize your self each day, aligning your intentions with your own energy. Do not overdo or over stress, but remain cognizant of how you are feeling mentally, physically, and emotionally. Do not allow any aspect of self to react or overreact in such a manner that you deplete your energy reserves.

The outer energy is interested in stealing your energy and it will do so in quite a sneaky and underhanded way. It will try to fool you, to create an illusion that seeks to trick you into accepting the picture it presents as reality. Your awareness must stay alert and you must question everything over the next few days. Even as you are full of good energy, and feeling enlightened and positive, so must you be aware to not overdo even your enthusiasm for life.

As you feel the good positive energy that is in you and outside of you, so also be aware of other negative energy that is a necessary balance. But you do not want the negative balancing energy seeping in through your doors and windows. Seek instead to balance your lives and activities, and work and play, with your own inner calm. Seek balance with outer forces by maintaining inner stability. In this manner may you smoothly navigate this time of great energy with great success.

I do not anticipate that the negative energy will prevail, or that its illusions will be long lasting, for you are all too smart and too aware to fall for its proposals. Even if you are fooled by it, your right mind and right thinking self will rescue you pretty quickly.

So for this day, and the next few, do I advise that you fully enjoy this time of good energy. Use it well, for growth and to propel you forward on your journeys. But also be very aware that there are hungry flyers seeking sustenance and they are very tricky beings. So be aware, at all times, that even though the energy is providing you with incredible stamina in all aspects of life, so must you not overdo in any manner, or you will become fodder for such hungry energy.

That is the best advice I can offer you today. Do not be fooled by the trickster energy. Stay balanced and innerly centered. Accept and use the good energy, but reject the bad energy that rides its coattails, seeking entry and sustenance upon your eager brow. Do not feed the hungry beast, but do feed the nurturing one. You will have to decide what that means in your own life. Good Luck!

#372 Each of You Has a Choice to Make Today

Dear Jeanne,
Can you offer us some guidance today?

Do not falter in your progress by attaching to old ideas of the self. You are all on new paths now, changing every day because you are choosing to live life in a different manner now. This is your changing self who pushes for enlightenment, experience, and who is eager for new adventures, not the old self. The old self must be left behind now.

You come seeking advice on spiritual growth and revelation because your spirit draws you to seek. Do not hesitate to acknowledge this strong aspect of self, this character within who speaks so clearly at times, who allows you to grow and acknowledge the mysteries of life, the joys of life, and the interesting possibilities of life.

I am here as a guide, but all of you have within you your own guide, your own spirit who knows exactly what I know, who seeks even as I do, and who wishes to invite you to keep learning about life, even as I do. Your life is not just as you see before your eyes because your eyes do not reveal to you all that is there. Your eyes see only what you already know, but they do not see that which has not been revealed. Only your spirit can lift the veils from your eyes and allow you to see all that is truly right before your eyes.

I ask you to be daring in order to access your own me, your own inner spirit connection. I ask you to trust, to determine that yes; you are fully willing to take the journey that is proposed to you. Each of you has a choice to make today. Do you choose to dare your self, or do you choose to keep the veils in front of your eyes?

Do you desire change? In order to have access to change must you decide to accept the change that is now possible. You must dare your self to accept your choice of change. You must allow your self to take a new step on your journey. Your next step may be tiny and incremental, or it may be giant, monumental, and without a doubt earth shattering to you and others in your life. Your choice may be an inner choice, or it may be an outer choice. It may be intensely private and personal, or it may be a choice that encompasses many worlds. Your choice may be sad but necessary. Or it may be delightful and heart-flutteringly loving. Your choice may be full of fear, yet also full of courage. Your next step may lead you into the unknown, or it may lead you into the known. It may be avoidable, or it may be unavoidable, but whether clear or not, so is it necessary to make a choice today, to do something that will aid you in your growth.

There is energy to accompany you now. As I have said over the past few weeks, so must you accept this fact of energetic support. Do not fixate on it, but do allow it to be your partner, your silent partner who knows all the details but remains incognito, while at the same time powerfully present.

Know that you are supported. Know that your spiritual, evolutionary growth is desired, is anticipated, and that victory is undeniable. Know that whatever you undertake during this time of strong energetic, structured support will succeed.

The only thing lacking is your total acceptance of and trust in your self to take a new kind of journey based on your own yearning spirit for a journey that is directed from your truth. So that may be your first challenge today, to discover just what that first truth is. What is your spirit asking you to do today to stay in your place of truth?

Find your voice that speaks your truth. Stay with that voice of truth and allow your outer self to recognize this inner self who has been waiting for this opportunity to speak. This is a day for you to hear what it says. Rely on it, for tomorrow will be different. So don’t miss the opportunity to hear what your inner truth has to say to you today. It will be something quite necessary, quite enticing, and quite appropriate for where you are now and where you are going next. And then see what happens!

#371 Mirrors of Self

Dear Jeanne,
What guidance can you offer us today?

Do not forget that you are energetic beings. Do not forget that you are there upon that earth, inhabiting a place of life, for purposes of energetic growth. Without that learning ground would your progress be without beginning, for your time there is your beginning of opportunity.

This time now, of constant reminder of your humanness, must be utilized for your energetic self, utilized to grow, mature, and understand your place upon that earth and your reason for being there; your ultimate gift of life to your self. Why are you there? What gift do you offer your self?

You must answer these questions, but they are best answered in relationship to others. Your interactions with others, whether close and heartfelt or distant and narrowly connected, are your mirrors of self. Do not dismiss what you see in those mirrors so swiftly or easily, but peer into them and find the familiar. Only in seeking self in the actions and habits of others will you grow and evolve. To shut oneself off from the world will not serve you well. To branch off into self-centered or self-contained living will not allow you to ply your gifts among the many who will graciously receive them. To desert your own cause will not do anyone good, but may in fact cause harm; for loss of reflection will result in despair and depression.

What I am saying today is that in spite of the energy around you, seeking to push and to disrupt, so must you remain aware that it is necessary to be a part of the world, involved with others, for your sake and theirs. Do not so easily push others from you if they offend you or ask for your assistance. Find what they seek in you and allow your self to own that aspect. Do not deny the self, the human attributes that so beautifully define who you are in that world. Once you allow for your humanness to become acceptable to you, so do you offer it as a good reflection to others.

Today is a day to learn to love your self. Love the one you are right now, and begin with offering new energy to that human self by aligning with who you truly are. Do not deny aspects of the self, but accept them fully. Expect to have difficulties with this process, but allow your innocent self, your hiding self, your healthy self, your sad self, your off-kilter self to enter into your awareness and be acceptable, accepted, and known to you.

You are not bad or good. You do not have any firm commands hanging over you except to accept the truths that are waiting to be accepted and the truths that already exist. Can you not allow your self this luxury of acquiescence to the facts of who you are?

Once you do that, then do you have the opportunity to begin anew. If you can accept your humanness, so can you fit your energetic self into that human companion. If you can accept what you see in your mirrors, so can you accept what your spirit is urging you to do as well. You may not feel ready to combine these two aspects of self, but they are necessary for growth.

The human body is your vehicle. You must be in it in order to navigate your world. You must know it full well in order to be able to return to it when the time is right. When your spirit asks you to take a little trip to another reality, so must you always be able to return to your body, fully, so that you can function in the world you live in.

Your body is the vehicle for your spirit, but it will not last long or suit you well if it is not protected and tenderly treated as your worthy companion. Find today a new and stronger connection to your human form. Do this by confronting your truths. Keep your eyes wide open. Notice how you treat your self, how your body reacts, and then decide what is right for your vehicle.

Who drives your vehicle? Who takes care of it? Who is in charge? Remove the big baby from the driver’s seat, if that is who has slipped in unnoticed. Remove your parents, your old teachers and mentors from your vehicle too, and learn to drive it your self.

This energy of now will seek to overturn your convictions. This energy of now will introduce whacky ideas that are not conducive to true spirit growth and need. This energy of now will attempt a takeover, as I have said, but only you can allow that to happen. And I don’t think you are really interested in getting stuck by the side of the road any longer.

Perhaps your vehicle needs a nice shiny cleaning and that is all you will need to set you straight upon your path, proudly inhabiting your physical self and feeling like you again. Get back into your vehicles and drive well, with all your new rules well-learned. Be perfectly open to new growth and adventures as you go off into the next phase of your future, fully in charge, the real you. Be the right mature you, the one who can handle anything, the one who fully resides in human form.

It’s a day to be in your body and discover your truths, accept them, and take them forward with you, using them to grow.

#370 Your Own Power of Self

Dear Jeanne,
Do you have a message for us today, perhaps following up on the previous one offering guidance for growth and contemplation?

I do entice you all to regard the energy as your companion and your partner as you take your journey, even as I ask you to disregard it. The energy offers you access to its power, yet it asks you to be equally present as its companion, offering you access to your own power in the process as well. In this manner of high regard, respect, and pragmatic understanding of and for each other, can you and the energy outside of you work and travel well together.

Abide now by your own truths, both as they are already known and as they are further revealed. This is your anchoring place, in your own deepest truths. This is what must come first now to guide you as you ask for a message to aid you. My awareness is only of help to you if you remain anchored in self, in spirit self, in truthful self, and in evolving self.

Today your biggest challenge will be maintaining that connection to self, as you are pulled outward. Now I suggest that you note but, for the most part, disregard the outer energy. It will seek to interrupt your connection to inner self. It will attempt a takeover, to sabotage your contemplation and to, in turn, disregard your energy. But keep in mind that this is how it works, how it conflicts with you in order to challenge you to ignore it and sink yet deeper into your own knowing of truth and right action.

So, I suggest that you remain conscious that your energy will be disrupted and interfered with, that your calm reverie will be teased outwardly, so that you will have to deal with the world around you. At first, you will find this quite annoying, but later will you see how it has furthered your growth. This will be an example of the outer energy versus your inner energy. Your challenge will be to stay connected to inner self, and to not be drawn to the outer energy, except to note that it is challenging you.

Do you see what I am proposing? You will be tested today, and even perhaps over the next few days, by the teaching energy that asks you to acknowledge its power, but also prove to your self that your own power of self is far greater.

Your awareness is being asked to remain alert now; to be awake in an inner/outer world; to maintain balance and steady alertness to what is coming to you in your life to teach you. I am certain that you will do well. As long as you place your intent to maintain awareness at all times into your heart center, so do you offer your self the key to solving the riddle of how to work companionably with the energy.

If you insist on taking your tests from your head, from your thinking place, so will you not notice what is really going on around you. If you maintain your awakening heart-centered self, your true and tender self in heart-centered awareness, so do you have the answer to your challenges, but also your life.

Your heady thoughts and scrambling for answers will only confuse you and cause the energy to chuckle. But your awareness of your heart center as your true place of knowing, understanding, and spirit being, will bring respect and winning regard from the energy that is truly there to accompany you on your journey. It is your job to tame it though, to teach the energy that you are capable of handling it, aware that you need it, but that you do not need it alone, but only in compliance with your own energy.

With your own inner energy in partnership with what the outer energy offers, so will you be prepared to take on life in a new manner. So will you be accepting from a place of strength of your truths and your gifts. I ask that you consider taking a new step now, as this energy pushes you to accept your own strengths, even as it shows you its own.

This is a time of learning how to use the energy that is available to you, even as you push it aside in order to more fully access your own energy. This is a time of balance seeking; of inner and outer energy balancing; of truth balancing; and of acceptance of all that you now know and that you are now being shown.

Trust your selves, My Dears. You really are energy beings, and perhaps that is all you need to keep reminding your selves of, as you continue your journeys. You are energy beings and that means that everything is possible, for energy is behind everything.

Use your energy wisely. Use it well. Use it for growth. Use it for self, and use it for others in whatever way you are being offered. Accept your gifts, and then use your gifts. That is what you are being taught to do in this time of energy balancing. It’s really all that matters.
