What would be good for us to know about taking care of our own energy hygiene?

Question:  What would be good for us to know about taking care of our own energy hygiene?
--

We are here with you tonight.

This is a very important question and very important now with all the various things happening around you. 

Your ability to stay connected is vital to your health and well-being.  Disruptions of many things are highly probable in the near future so you can train yourself now to withstand what is coming.

The magnitude, pace and impact of the changes will be felt all over the physical world. 

As we have said before, the changes going on internally are visible in external ways — such as storm, earthquakes, earth movements, weather fluctuations, etc.

The cultural and physical (structural) changes are also happening at a very fast pace.  These are less obvious now, but will be revealed over the next few years.

In 5 years, you will look back with amazement at all that has been accomplished.  We told you about the split between those who feel joy and those who feel fear.  Those feelings right now are an undercurrent that will grow and become more visible throughout your year.

There will be many “shocks” that help to awaken people who are ready to wake up from the “dream” of being cozy in the “way it has always been.”

To answer your question with specific details, we suggest:

1. Daily meditation.  How long is up to you.  Connect to “All That Is” and spend whatever amount of time feels right for you.
2. Good diet.  Eliminate alcohol, cigarettes, chemicals, drugs, etc.  Eat a balanced diet that is right for your body type.
3. Eat consciously.  Be grateful for all that has been provided for you to nourish your body.
4. Exercise your body regularly in a way that works for you.
5. Be sure to get enough rest.
6. Balance your work and make sure you have time for play, study and rest (the 4 pillars).
7. Watch your thoughts.  Be aware of martyrdom, anger, arrogance, stubbornness, etc. 
8. Learn to see the good (God) in everyone and every situation and every person you interact with.
9. Be gentle and loving with yourself also.  Eliminate self-criticism of all kinds.  There is no room for that any more.
10. Fill yourself with the positive energy of LOVE!!!  At all times.  Whenever you feel depleted or  weak or tired, do something that is uplifting for you —music, art, prayer, exercise — whatever works for you.  STOP all activities and obligations if necessary to get yourself back into a good place.

We are always with you.  Be aware of that and rest in our loving embrace.  

Much love to you all,

Michael and friends

Any message from [recently deceased wife of a friend]?

Question: Any messages from [wife of a friend] after her transition this afternoon. 

[My crown chakra started buzzing before we even got into the meditation and by the time it was done, I was finished writing the message, then just sat in the quiet space until time was called.  I may even have dozed off – it was so peaceful there. ]

Answer:  Yes, I am here.  Thank you so much!  Your energy of the group is like a beacon of light calling out to me.

It was time to leave.  I am well and at peace.  It is both confusing and very comforting to be here.  There was a big group waiting for me, so know that I am very much loved and peaceful where I am.

They tell me there will be some adjustment and a re-orientation though that won’t take long, then I will go to the life review process.

I will be contacting [my husband] as he is receptive as he does the physical things that need doing after someone moves on.  Please send him my very deep love and let him know that “all is well” and we will be together again soon.

There is no reason to worry.  It will all go smoothly and I will help as much as I can from this side.  Please let him know that I am right next to him at all times and can feel his love so very deeply still. 

I feel very blessed to have spent my life with him.  He is a very beautiful soul.

Let him know that I am as close as his breath and even though I am no longer in a physical body, I am very much alive and very well in my spirit.  He can reach me through his heart or his mind at any time.

What skills and abilities did I bring to this life from past lifetimes?

Question: What skills and abilities did I bring to this life from past lifetimes?

Answer:  We are here with you — your entity and Michael for support.

You brought may skills from before — diplomacy, communications, rituals, compassion, writing, child-rearing, hospitality, grounding, connecting with All That Is, etc. You also brought in education and deep knowledge of how to create a good and comfortable life for yourself.

While you have had harsh lifetimes, those have not been the major focus of your lifetimes as they have been form some other people.  Yes, you have had hard times, but you have not been ill or destitute or living on the streets.

You brought a deep inner faith and knowing that you could maneuver through this life and find what you needed to be successful.  You may not have been conscious of that at times — your Essence was working to arrange your life for you so that now at your retirement, you are healthy, safe, comfortable and can enjoy the rest of your life with minimum stress or concerns about supporting yourself.

Because of this, you are able to help many more people than if you were constantly struggling. This is an Old Soul lesson also.  Old Souls are the leaders and way-showers for the rest of humanity. As you are calm and can create a good life, others can see that it is possible and you help to reduce the unnecessary stress around you. 

There is a “grand plan” and there are individual plans — all fitting together.  There is much choice about how and what and when and there is a great deal of work done by your Essence that you are not aware of.  Your Entity, Cadre and other Cadres are closely in touch to figure out how to move the planet forward in the best way.

On the physical level, you will see it happening and — if you pay attention — you can catch glimmers of what is being “discussed.”

All is well, so don’t stress about what and when and how.  Set your intentions and leave it up to us to make it happen.

Rest, relax and enjoy!

[At that point, I did just that — relaxed and floated in the nice warm energy until time was called.]

12/15/2011: What are the energies coming up in the next few months to be aware of?

What are the energies coming up in the next few months to be aware of?

We are here with you tonight and at all times. 

Your cold is a sign of moving into higher planes (Astral) and is not something to worry about.  [I felt like air conditioning had kicked on and was very chilly all of a sudden as this came through.]

All is well on the larger scale of the universe.  You feel this in spite of the chaos that many others feel.

It is almost as if you world has split in two — those who are calm and peaceful, and those who are reeling in confusion.

The split is with the Soul Ages — those in the younger soul ages and those who are still asleep are feeling the chaos and uncertainty, not sure which way to go and why life (their life) is so confusing.

The older sols who have found a teaching — almost any teaching that brings in the Logos — are feeling more and more connected to their source, their god or whatever they feel is “All That Is” for them.

This split is likely to grow wider and wider over the near future until the Infinite Soul reappears.  We won’t say when that will happen.  You will know.  The energy of that is coming, for those who are aware are feeling the peace and love and balance that that energy brings. 

For others who are not calm, they are also feeling the energy as a big unknown and are frightened to their core by something they don’t understand and are afraid to acknowledge. 

Just as your thunderstorm are a “jolt” of energy, some are afraid of them and some are very excited by the energy of the storm.  [We had a big thunderstorm here tonight with lots of noise and lightening, no rain, just before the call.]

The current global energies are the same.  Some people are very afraid of the world global markets changing and others are excited by the possibilities for a true worldwide cooperative effort.

This is why you feel so “neutral” about the energy as you are gliding easily above the storm, watching it but not being thrown around by it.

Do pay attention to your dreams and your intuitions, as those are what give us the ability to reach you when you are not consciously seeking contact.

Yes, sometimes, we are more persistent than others, as this morning.  [They told me to turn around and go back home, and I found out something important I need to learn by doing that.]

You are getting better at listening and still sometimes don’t want to be awakened from your physical life to pay attention.  The personality wants to be tightly in control, though has lost the battle of total control so is now willing to compromise more than when we first tried to reach you.

The chaos will continue.  The volatility will continue for many more of your years.  “New normal” is a good way to put it and old souls are being called to step forward when the younger souls cannot cope with what needs to be done.

Your own life will be less chaotic and because of that, you and many others can be a big stability force for those who are struggling.  As the chaos becomes worse, people will be more willing to listen to the old souls who are calm and willing to share their wisdom. 

For the recent past, their wisdom has not been sought out nor respected.  That will change and the younger souls will realize what a mess they have made and will be glad for a steady presence to help resolve things that could never be resolved by younger souls. 

Old souls will become widely visible — much more than now.  Ancient wisdom will become more “popular” and will become more visible.  You are starting to see some of that and it will continue to grow as it is proven that those “old ways” really do work.  And, that grandparents and elders have a lot of wisdom to share that gets tangible results.

Continue to do your own growth work and study and meditation.  Your network will grow and become more solid.  

Good surprises will come so allow yourself to be pleasantly surprised.  This is also part of the “new normal.”  Manifestation of desires is increasing and more abundance is easily available to you in many different forms. 

Listen to your inner knowing and it will guide you where you need to be and what you need to do. 

We are with you always, with much love, your entity.

What information do you have for me tonight? Message for December 8, 2011

Question: What information do you have for me tonight? 

We are here with you tonight.  You are all doing Good Work — Very Good Work.

Your support for each other is growing and deepening each time you come together.  You are sharing and opening your heart and allowing yourself to be helped as well as to help each other.

This is the positive part of growth.  And, you are calling to you, other experiences to assist in your growth.

These may not be “pleasant” yet when viewed as just growth opportunities [or "gifts"] to be used, you can begin to see their value and benefit to you and your work.

You are never alone and you are never left to find for yourself.  There is a legion of support available to you when you need it. 

Trust that as it is the truth.

You often forget that in your individual selves and that is one less of the Physical plane — to “pretend” that you are alone.

As you grow into later soul levels, that aloneness no longer serves you.  You can start to drop it and remind yourself every day that you are not alone.  You have incredible power and resources to draw upon when you need them.  They are there even when you don’t need them.

The more you remember this, the faster it will be for you to call upon those resources when you do need them.

Like a new machine or tool, it takes time to learn how to operate it efficiently.  And, you are learning to do that, little by little, each day, each week.

As you learn to be more balance, you can help others who face upsets and “surprises.”  

Life is a constant challenge because you signed up for this life that you are living.  And, part of the exercise is to see how long it takes you to “remember” why you are playing the game of physical life. 

In the larger scheme of things, the day-to-day upsets don’t really matter.  And, yet at the same time, they play a huge role in your own growth and, therefore, they affect all around you, your entity, your cadre and your world.

It is a dichotomy — being so small and insignificant at the same time you are being huge and magnificent. 

All is good.  All is well.  There is everything and nothing at the same time.

Allow that balance point to hold you and protect you and heal you of whatever you would like loved and held and protected.  

We are with you at all times, as close as your breath, as close as your heartbeat, as close as every thought and every feeling and every action.

With much love, your entity.

What message do you have for me tonight? Message from Dec. 1, 2011

Question: What message do you have for me? 

We are here with you — your entity — with Michael available if needed or appropriate.

You already know your answer to the dilemma you face.  As all Priests, you feel called to help when someone summons you.  That is well and good.

And, as you also know, you have a tendency to put others first to the point of seriously neglecting your own self and your own needs.  This has caused you to avoid doing your own work at times in the past — many times in this life, as you also know. 

This time in your life is a chance for you to change that pattern and you are being shown and reminded where your opportunities lie to be stronger in protecting yourself.

You do not owe anyone anything.  You do not have to respond to a call for help.  It is your choice and you have in front of you a clear situation to practice setting a clear boundary.  The ‘work” will get done by others who are actually more capable than you are in this particular situation.  You are not the only person who can do what is needed.

Yes, there is confusion.  The Mature Soul is very under trained to what is being asked of her and trying to find a way to muddle through.  Others have seen through this.  You are not responsible for her or for the results of her confusion.  Your friend is trying to do the right thing also.  Your excellent relationship will not be damaged if you tell her NO.  It will add more credibility to her own case that she is working on behind the scenes.

You have a powerful and very important role in bringing forth the teachings from the old sessions and related work that can help many, many people.  Yes, it can wait, also.  And, now that you are so deeply involved in it and doing what really feels good for you, why not continue?

You are doing true essence work and you are very much supported by your entity, Michael and many other entities who want this teaching to be available to more people.

Only you can make the choice how to handle the situation you face.  We expect you will do the right thing and you will know clearly what is right very shortly.

You probably already know what to do.  You are resisting out of old habits and this is a great opportunity to change that habit. 

Allow yourself to be blissfully happy, working from essence.  You have certainly ‘earned’ the right, though ‘earning’ is not necessary.  It is your birth right and inherent ability to live from joy and happiness. 

You know this already.  Look in the mirror and remind yourself who you really are.  It is very clear to you already where your heart is.  Allow yourself to follow your heart and trust your instincts.  They will not fail you.

Many blessings to you and to your entire circle of friends. 

These times can be challenging and you will have more opportunities to make clear choices in the future.

We are here whenever you want to ask for help.  As close as your breath, we are always with you. 

Much love and joy is yours also whenever you are willing to accept it. 

[My comment: As you can tell, I have a situation that I am grappling with right now and was asking for some guidance.  I got what I needed in a very gentle, yet very strong way.]

Message for Nov. 17, 2011

Question: Is there any message for us tonight?

We are here with you.  The pressure you feel is us. We don’t’ mean to cause you distress.  We are with you and trying to help you.  We can lessen the pressure if it is bothersome for you.

You are at an important juncture right now and can feel the push of energy that is building on the planet.  A great deal will be coming forth for you to deal with.

We are very pleased with your progress and know that everything on your “to do” list seems like too much.  It will all get done — or it won’t — so don’t be stressed about it.  We have long ago “forgotten” the day-to-day pressure of the Physical plane, so remember that if you feel we are pressuring you too much.  Just remind us to back off, OK? 

There will be ups and down and twists and turns in the road ahead.  This is normal and natural.  Do not become overly concerned.  When you are not sure which way to go — STOP.  Take time to check in with your Essence and let your intuition guide you to the right action — or lack of action.

Lots of people are feeling the pressure as you do and don’t have good grounding so be gentle with them and be gentle with yourself.  When you can, be a calm presence for others who are not as grounded as you are.  There is much need now for those who can remain calm in the center of the storm. 

Hold your long-term vision and deal with the day-to-day things as they come up.  Eventually, all will become clear.

There really is no rush or need to rush.  You do feel the pressure of dealing with the your current project and it should get wrapped up as soon as you can without overdoing it.  There will be a number of “obstacles” that arise, so know that those too will be worked out. 

This is a much larger project than even you are aware of right now. The longer term result will be very beneficial for many people so don’t get discouraged by the small things. Don’t let them seem to be bigger than they are.

It will all work out.  Stay the course, hold onto your own sense of what is right and, above all, be flexible and keep your sense of humor.

Take a break when you need to if that feels right.  There is no one whipping you to work so hard.

Priests tend to take on too much and you already know this.  So, again, be gentle with yourself and follow your heart.  Make time to have fun, laugh, etc. 

end}

[I was relaxing into the energy at that point and I did not get any more messages after that.  I had mentioned before the listening practice that I have had sort of a headache for the past few days, and did feel Michael’s presence with a very clear message for me last Sunday that came through my crown chakra as a strong buzzing feeling.]
