Any messages about the energy right now?

We are here with you tonight.

There are times when energy builds or so it seems, so that things may be accomplished and many people can focus on a common goal.

You have created 2012 as one of those time periods.  You are releasing much, changing much and recreating much in your world.  You, collectively, are doing this.  You are preparing for the return of the High Mental Body — the Infinite Soul.  There is much to be done to prepared in yourself and in so many others.

Your growth is accelerated, yes, in what feels like pressure.  You are preparing yourself to handle much more than you have ever handled before.

In 10 years, you will look back and be amazed at the changes.  In 20 years, the same.  In 100 years, the same.  Yes, the pace has increased and will not be “relaxed” — you will at some point realize that you are doing so much more than you ever thought possible.

People are “stepping up” in many ways, especially doing the work they need to do on themselves regardless of soul age.  Many of you are more aware of how much needs to be done.  And, to be bluntly honest, nothing needs to be done.  All is evolving as it should. You feel pressure inside yourself to do your own work – no one else’s.  Everyone is doing what they need to do. 

When you can accept this and relax, you will be calmer and feel less like you have to solve the problems of the world.   

All of you are aware of great needs and are feeling the coming changes.  Just be aware that you are not alone at all.  There is so much support for you to call on when you need it.

An exercise: When you are feeling stressed and pressured, simply STOP!  Allow yourself to connect with All That Is and ask for help in doing whatever needs doing.  Allow yourself to accept that help and notice how much easier things will get done.

Allow yourself to rest as much as you need rest, to take time to connect with nature, to connect with people you care about.

Spend time on activities that bring you joy.   Follow  your own heart and if you make these a habit, your life will be easier and you will not fee pressured.

Whatever it is that is right for you is available to you.  Your culture has taught you otherwise — that you have to work hard, struggle, etc.  That is not true.  You have to let go of those old ideas, which as you know is easier said than done. 

Start where you are and do whatever you can to make your life joyful and fulfilled every day.  The more you do this, the easier it will be until you do more of that than the things that make you feel stressed.

We offer our help at any time and at all times.  We are eternal so there is no time pressure at all where we are.  And, we are right where you are, with a slight perspective difference.

Whatever your heart desires is possible.  Believe it and it will be yours.

We are here tonight with you.

Your calm energy is an important respite from the storms of the planet right now. 

Much is in turmoil.  Much is changing.   Much is in flux.  Many are choosing to leave the physical plane right now and spend some resting time to be ready for their next lives when your world will be very different.

Each new day brings you new opportunities for growth and expansion.  Many are not interested in sticking around through more turmoil so will leave for a time.  There is nothing wrong in this — just a choice.  Sometimes, enough is simply enough. They have done what they came to do and it is time to move on.  [Name removed] was one of those who lived a full life and was ready to go home as she said.   

The weather and storms are a reflection of the energy that comes with major changes. They help to guide people where they need/want to go and what they would not do unless “pushed” by the storm.  Unsettled times bring unsettled weather so they go hand-in-hand together.

This also is a time when those of you who are calm and not experiencing your own major growth pressures can assist others.  You can be an anchor for them and a calming presence for those who need a little extra help.

You have all be in their shoes, also.  Balance is the way the Universe operates – out-of-balance seeking balance, each helping each other.

If everyone was calm all the time, nothing would get changed.  If everyone was in chaos all the time, that would not be good either.

These are good times to remember “one day at a time” and not get too excited about the day-to-day changes.  Keep focused on your own long term goals and be flexible — very flexible.  Help where you can.  Take time to play, to rest, to work, to study in balance.  Follow your spiritual practices and connect consciously every day.  Keep your body, mind and spirit healthy and enjoy the fascinating journey you have created for yourself.

We wish you love and hope and peace and are here with you at all times, and enjoy the fascinating journey you have created for yourself.

We wish you love and hope and peace and are here with you at all times.

Any messages for us about the Solstice and the expansion energy?

Question: Any messages for us about the Solstice and the expansion energy?

All is well.  We are here with you tonight.

As was discussed, this is a time of heavy karmic completion, of major shifting, of letting go of much that has been part of your life.  This is all necessary in order to move forward into the new world you are all co-creating.

Sometimes, these things are spread out over many years.  You are all anxious to move forward, so have chosen to push much into this year and use the collective energy to force much to happen that might have lingered for a long time otherwise.  As this happens, it puts great stress on the body and the psyche as you have all noticed.

We previously reminded you all of how important it is to take care of your physical body and you are experiencing some of the results of not doing that as well as you could have. [I know this was for me, if not for any of you, as I have been pushing myself pretty hard lately and not doing some of the things I know I should be doing, with the result that this week I got to experience the flu for the first time in many, many years. ]

Again, we urge you to take time for healthy physical practices so that your body is not overly taxed.  Watch your diet, get plenty of rest, pay attention to the body’s needs and when it is healthy, it can better support your Essence in managing your physical life.

We won’t belabor the point, so rest now for a time.

We are always here with you.

Why do people attract other people to whom they give more than they receive?

We are here with you tonight, your entity.

In past lifetimes, [xxx] was well cared for and so in this life, it is her turn to assist others.

There is nothing wrong with [xxx]’s life – all is just as it should be.  She might find it less of a “burden” to remember that all is working perfectly and to be grateful for the past support.

Life will balance out always, eventually.  This is the way it is.  Gratitude in all things helps to release any resentment and martyrdom.  And, know that [xxx] made choices coming into this life that set up things that her Essence continues to operate on.  

Major lessons are being learned in this life.  There is nothing at all “wrong” or “mistaken.”  Ponder on this and perhaps a shift in perspective will help to see it better. 

The work she is doing is Good Work and much needed by those she is helping.  It is her work to do, not someone else’s — that is why she is drawn into the situations and relationships that she has been involved in. 

All is well.

[There was a short pause, then they continued:]  This message can be used by all of you also.  You are each right where you should be — doing what you should be doing.

Are there any messages for us tonight?

We are here with you tonight.

Our other messages are for the rest of you as you work through the many changes on your planet. Much is happening “under the surface” if you will.  It may feel  now as if there is a lull and in some ways, that is true.  You are not seeing big changes day-to-day, though after a time, you will be able to look back and notice all that has happened. 

Take time to be still every day and spend time doing something that is important to you every day.

Notice the birds, notice the air, notice the sun, notice the wind, notice the earth, notice the people who are important to you, notice textures, sounds, smells, etc.

Pay attention to being physical and how wonderful it is to be in a body having a physical experience.  As you are aware of those things, open your heart in gratitude for all the many blessings you  have on the physical plane.  It is what you chose to do at this time in your life. 

When you are conscious of all the physical things, it heightens your physical senses and also heightens your awareness of the non-physical senses you have.

Notice when  you receive “messages” or “feelings” or “thoughts” that come out of no where.  Those are also part of  your gratitude practice – be grateful when you get each of those things.

As you pay attention to what is around you and what is in you, you open up to more of who you are.  You feel more connected on a physical level and a meta-physical level.

Your conscious connection with others also increases.  Notice how you feel when interacting with friends or associates or family members or clients or others.

All of these help you to expand the energetic body that is represented by your fragment of All That Is.

We leave you with “time” to experience our message.

~ With much love, Your Entity ~

[Then, I laid down and listened to the birds singing, my chimes playing, the warm air blowing across and around me through the open patio door, the feel of my skin, my heart beating, etc. ]

Is there anything we can do as individuals to continue the momentum of the energy we felt at 7 Oaks in the Michael community?

All of you made a choice to come together again in a very special and deep way this year.  You wanted to have a life-changing experience and you all created that for yourselves.  You also created it for many others who observed the experience without being there.

Many of you opened your hearts wider than you have before and, therefore, felt more connected with others who opened their hearts wide.

Many other people were affected around you.

As you know, once you have essence contact, you are changed by the experience.  As Older Souls, you are seeking that type of connection more and more.

What can you do? 

1. First, continue to gather together in small groups or in pairs as you have been doing. 
2. Think about it and remember the experience.
3. Allow yourself to feel the experience.
4. Talk about it with others as you are comfortable.

All of that will continue to keep your heart open and your mind open.

If you feel yourself falling into negative thoughts or feelings, take time to reconnect to that experience.

If you see others slipping into negative experiences, remind them of the 7 Oaks experience.

Even with “strangers,” you can be open-hearted and accepting of them without harming yourself.

Small acts of kindness, done consistently, can change the world.  In fact, they have changed the world.

Take time from your “busy” schedules to reconnect with your guides, your entity or whatever daily through meditation, listening, quiet time etc. however that works for you.  Those quiet moments help keep you balanced, connected and grounded so that you are not easily distracted or thrown into negative patterns of thoughts or feelings.

Your world very much needs the balance, harmony and open-heartedness that you have experienced.  The Younger Souls are so busy living their lives that they won’t stop.  You Older Souls are the ones who will help them to see other ways of being and doing in the world.

And, you yourself gain so much by being more balanced and healthier.  You set examples and you teach by those examples and sharing your knowledge and experience with others. 

There are many challenges in the wings for your planet as you shift the consciousness. This is no small task you have taken on and you are all here because you volunteered to help with this mighty task. 

Your “life line” emotionally is in connecting with others as you continue to build your support system.  As other see how you have benefited from your experiences, you draw in others who want to step off the treadmill of stress and worry. 

You are like beacons of light shining in the darkness and have much more positive impact on the planet than you can possibly imagine.  From our perspective, you are like dots of light all over a map that sparkles with energy. This is the way of the future and you are creating new patterns of behavior for people who need them.  They will seek you out, maybe not knowing why, where ever you are and whatever you are doing. 

The quiet smile, a kind word or a heartfelt “thank you” can make a huge difference to people you interact with in your daily life. 

The connection with your entity mates and cadre mates on a regular basis gives you renewed energy to keep you “keeping on” as you live your daily lives.

We applaud your conscious choices to do what you are doing and to continue to be those lights that shine so brightly.

~ Much Love, Your Entity ~

What is coming up for me/us in the next few months?

Before we started our listening practice, I focused on Kate (a 101-year old woman who died this morning).  I immediately heard a very loud, WHOO-HOO!!!  Then, "I feel like dancing.  I feel like a young girl again - full of life and full of energy. It was hard to leave those I love and I know it was hard for them to let go.  It was time to more on.  I'm still here though - right where you all are, so please don't be sad for me.  I'm alive and well and surrounded by so many friends and people who love me, I'm not sad at all.  I had forgotten so much that all came back when I walked through that invisible door to the other side.  I send all my love to my family and friends, and will see you all again in the twinkling of an eye."

I asked the question, "What is coming up for me/us in the next few months?"

A: Much that has been planned for will be unfolding over the next few months and through the rest of the year.  Yes, there will be surprises and there will be tests and trials and challenges as those are what make the physical life so interesting.

  You are all aware inside of what you need to do, so follow your own inner guidance and it will lead you where you need to go.

  No matter what happens, simple allow yourself to relax into it and things will move along as they should.

  It is resistance that causes stress and pain, not the issue.  Beyond that, our suggestions are as always - rest, be kind to yourself, take care of the body, keep your thoughts positive and enjoy the adventurous journey you  have created for yourself.

~ Your entity, with much love!
