Change

Welcome, dear Friends and Lightworkers! As we begin our narrative this morning, the channel sits at her computer in front of a window that opens to her front yard. Everything there is buried in so much snow that even the reflectors beside the driveway no longer show. And yet, as she watches the birds competing for seeds at the feeders, her inner vision sees spring… May… the first signs of Trillium and Lady Slippers that portend wonderful months to come… especially along the beautiful beaches of Lake Michigan.

Why do we mention this? Because it is an example of living your truth. How? The channel teaches the use of inner vision, joyful thought, focused intention, vibrant meditation and this morning she has chosen to apply it as we channel this May message.

Is it a lie to ‘pretend’ that spring has arrived and the flowers are in bloom? Not in this case… she knows full well that there is deep snow outside… her aching muscles from shoveling attest well to that!... But, as she settles into channeling for an edition of Sedona Journal which will be published in May, it serves both her and our message to align with the actual time that people will be reading these words.

So for this moment in March, it’s May… and the word that best exemplifies this period of time is ‘change’.

Change is vibrant everywhere now. How are you handling it? It’s worth thinking about this question and it is also worthwhile to be aware of the most common characteristics of change for that understanding will help you to create change that is elegant for yourself, certainly, but perhaps even worldwide.

All change begins with a thought. And what is a thought? It’s a focused intention. And as you give that thought more focus and more intent, it begins to create your reality. If you have seen ‘The Secret’ (and if you have not, what planet were you visiting?) then you are certainly aware of the Law of Attraction. This universal law is far from new and certainly has been taught and available for decades. Now, with the extreme focus it has received as a result of this single presentation, many millions more have become aware of its existence and how it is used.

As millions apply the Law of Attraction, change MUST occur. If you wonder why it didn’t happen naturally as people simply applied this law naturally, the answer is that it did. Change has been a constant on your planet since the planet was born. However, we ask you to remember that consciously focused intention which is enhanced by emotion tends to speed things up a bit. That’s why change has become so massive.

And actually, the Law of Attraction – focusing your intention and declaring to the Universe what it is you are wanting and intending -  is only step one of manifestation and also change.

Step two is most often referred to as: ‘That’s not your job… that is the job of the Universe… and as such, the Universe always says, ‘Yes, and here it comes.’’.

We would like to offer you a different step two.

Step two is second guessing yourself. And this is why: Every person walking this planet today has a single destiny which draws their Soul forward. That destiny is to reunite with God/Goddess/All That Is. Similarly, all people alive today have an infinite number of possible and probable pathways to travel to accomplish this. The most empowering way to identify the path you will follow is to go to your own inner guidance and ask good questions, such as: Is this the right job for me? Should I stay in this job? Is this friendship based in truth and growth? Millions of questions are asked throughout your days and many of you attend well to the answers and conscientiously follow the guidance they offer.

We suggest that you get in the habit of asking a second question each time: Is this the highest and most light-filled path available to me now? If you can learn to second guess yourself with this simple question, you will be amazed at the results.

The reason that this is important is because of the Law of Attraction… like attracts like. Life, experiences, people, things… all that life is… is attracted to you according to the dominant resonance that you hold. This resonant signature is like a beacon in the night to all things of like resonance. When you ask a question like: ‘Is this the man of my dreams?’ you will attract the answer that aligns with your resonant signature. If you then follow this question with, ‘And is this the highest most light-filled path available to me now?’, you just might receive a different answer.

If you worry that you won’t know which answer to trust, we suggest that you practice often with more mundane issues of life (like: Is it time to go to sleep?) and develop your own sensitivity to the quality of your answers. And remember, your inner being uses emotion as language. When an answer feels good, it’s likely to be truth. Practice will teach you to know when the ‘feel good’ comes from your negative ego’s  wanting or your inner being’s communicating. An example of negative ego wanting would be hearing a yes answer to the question: ‘Would a cigarette be good for me?’ unless the circumstances are extremely unique. If you then ask ‘Is this the highest and most light-filled path available to me now?’ and still hear a yes, then either you need more practice because you are fooling yourself or you are in a very unique situation like standing in front of a firing squad wearing a blindfold!

The third step to change is grieving. Surprised? All change requires some form of new alignment and letting go. If the change you are experiencing is minor, then the impact will also be minor and the grieving will simply be a momentary acknowledgment of the passing of the old. If, however, the change is significant the grief becomes stronger and becomes much more important to deal with.

This concept is obvious when someone you love dies. However, what if the change is weight loss? What if you have lost 100 pounds and you are overjoyed with the ‘new you’?

There is a strange phenomenon happening with weight loss lately which makes it a wonderful example of the grief stage of change. After fast and extreme weight loss, as with surgically induced results, people are going into deep depression. Why? Because they have not grieved… They have not taken the time to emotionally adjust to the new person evolving nor have they understood and learned from the person who experienced obesity. Most don’t know what the emotional and psychological reasons for their obesity were. Learning those causes and taking time to deal with them is grieving.

That is an extreme example to make a point. When you throw away your favorite blue jeans because they are too worn to wear any longer… the grief over that is minor and fairly easy to deal with. When you create a new home, a new relationship, a new job, a promotion, start a new exercise program, realign your dreams and goals with higher resonant ones… these changes require a letting go of something known and comfortable and, therefore, will cause some grief which must be dealt with. Once the emotional and psychological understanding is complete it is much easier to continue the change with elegance. Understanding this point will allow you to face and move through the grieving quickly, courageously and completely so that you can shift unhindered by your former reality.

The last point of change that we feel is important to this time on your planet is perpetual allowing. Once again, this is a point which is taught by many but understood by few. If you truly want to manifest your desire… to welcome the change you have set into motion, you must maintain a similar or higher resonance to that which you have requested. Doing a socko meditation and feeling great about your energy while you tell  the Universe what you want is not enough. Most meditations last for only a short time. If we give you the benefit of the doubt, your meditations for manifestation last an hour and your resonance during that hour is outstanding. But what about the other twenty-three hours of your day? What is your resonance then? That is why we use the words ‘perpetual allowing’ rather than simply allowing.

Some of you will defend your manifestation work by suggesting that you are dominantly resonating with the change you have requested and that is terrific. But would you like to ride in an airplane with a pilot who is dominantly paying attention to flying the plane or perpetually paying attention? Which one do you think will create the better result?

Holding your resonance where it creates an open doorway to your change and your dreams is prayer. Not holding that resonance, holding a lower or simply a different resonance, is prayer. Feeling the energy of the thing you are changing is prayer. Not feeling the energy of that change, is prayer. One of the simple truths of life and light is that all prayers are answered. What prayer do you choose to put forth as the answers flow to you?

A momentum of change has been created in your world. This momentum is significant because it is more conscious and focused by more people than ever before. If there was ever a time to elevate your dreams for the future… if there was ever a time to resonate unconditional love and light… if there was ever a time to stand courageously and demand new global answers for peace and brotherhood, this is the time.

You are essential to the successful elevation and completion of this change. We support you and we celebrate your willingness, tenacity and vision! The channel sits at her window and sees May blooming through the snow. We look at you and see the change you have initiated and see, as well, that you will succeed…
