Dealing with Stress
In this day and age, dealing with everyday situations that may cause stress is a critical skill each and everyone of us must have in order to live a happy, fulfilled, and peaceful life.

And while stress management experts will tell you the ways to deal with stress is to breathe, exercise, meditate and so on, they are but temporary distraction techniques to get you in a more peaceful frame of mind.

People who truly deal with stress effectively and on a more permanent level have the ability to focus the  thoughts in their minds and choose a happier, more peaceful perspective.

While you may not be able to control the people and circumstances around you, you can take control over yourself, particularly the thoughts, emotions and beliefs in your own mind. In any given situation, you can accept it for what it is, choose how you feel about it so that even if the situation hasn't changed, you are over it in your own mind.

As the coauthor, editor and cover design, I write under the pen name Lilia Nani Ho'alakahi.  The book is based on mine and my friend, Michael Robert Lawrence's recovery from traumatic experience.  Our goals for the book was for it to be an effective guide offering methods that were simple to understand and easy to incorporate.

Some of  Michael's comments On Happiness and the Mind:

• Lasting happiness is achieved through the conscious control of your attention. Embrace this and you will always know happiness. 

• You are not at the mercy of your mind. Because you don’t believe this, thought and emotion manage you.

• If you realized that you have given away control inside your mind, you would drop everything you are doing to reclaim your mind. 

• You miss your precious life experience by following thoughts like a lost puppy. You must realize you are being led to become free. 

• Strangers see you more clearly than your friends, because your friends cannot see beyond their own belief of who you are.

As an aromatherapist, I like to share articles and posts on the effectiveness of essential oils on wellness and overall health.  Now more than ever, it is vital for one to be as physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually healthy to live well and live long.
  
To that end, I often post suggestions and uses for specific oils  (and my Facebook Notes, http://www.facebook.com/Passion4Living).  Below is a recent message from David Ford and the Rainbow Forever Trust on using Young Living's Feelings Kit.  I also have a Passion 4 Oils website free library, resources information and product catalog to order the kit.  

The Feelings Kit is a good place to start. It contains Harmony, Forgiveness Inner Child, Present Time, Release, and Valor.  Product #3125 Whls $149.75 , Retail $197.04 

Today we live in a society of emotion turmoil. More and more the evidence is accumulating that our emotional health can have a profound effect on our physical health. More than ever before

researchers are probing the impact that emotional states have on the physical condition of the body. Many doctors are recognizing the possibility that a number of disease are caused by emotional problems that link back to infancy and childhood--and perhaps even in the womb.

These emotional problems can compromise body systems and even genetic structuring through

a process that translates creates the equivalent of a molecular 'memory' in key organs and structures of the body. "Negative experiences and ideas are recorded in our brains and locked into our memories throughout our lives. These memories range from mild to extreme and have a profound effect on our health and happiness. In order to become who we are intended to be, we must erase these negatives and reprogram our thoughts to make a positive ideas our reality." D. Gary Young As scientists have studied to understand the neural basis of emotions, they have discovered that the limbic system of the brain plays a vital role in interpreting and channeling intense experience, particularly memories of fear or trauma. Interestingly, the two parts of the limbic system which play a major role in emotional processing-- the amygdala and the hypothalamus-- are located less than an inch of the olfactory nerve. In 1989, researchers agreed that the amygdala--one on each side of the inner brain--play a major role in storing and releasing emotional trauma and that aromas have a profound effect in triggering response from amygdala. Joseph Ledoux, MD. of New York Medical University was one of the first to suggest that the use of aroma could be a major breakthrough in helping to trigger the release of pent-up emotional trauma. So, D. Gary Young created the Feelings Kit for the first step to releasing negative emotions and erasing memories of experiences that adversely impact our lives. The six essential oil bends formulated by D. Gary Young, provide the foundation for balancing energy, forgiveness, and identifying oneself.

****************************

EMOTIONAL CLEARING PROTOCOL

Step 1: VALOR 

Valor should be the first blend used and applied to the bottom of the feet when starting an emotional clearing. It helps balance the energies within the body, helping to give courage, 

confidence and self-esteem.  Valor gives you courage to stand up for yourself.  Apply 3-6 drops on each foot and hold the right foot in the right hand; left foot in the left hand for a minute or two until balance is felt.  Valor contains: 

Rosewood (Aniba rosaeodora) which is soothing and nourishing to the skin.  It has been researched at Weber State University for its inhibition rate against gram positive and gram negative bacterial growth. 

This oil is soothing, creates elasticity, and helps the skin rid itself of irritation and problems, such as candida. It is anti-infectious, antibacterial, anti-fungal, antiviral, and antiparasitic.

Blue Tansy (Tanacvetum annuam) may help cleanse the liver and calm the lymphatic system helping one to overcome anger and negative emotions promoting a feeling of self-control. Its primary constituents are limonene and sesquiterpenes. European research show that it works as an antihistamine, anti-inflammatory, and stimulant for the thymus gland reducing dermatitis, arthritis, sciatica, tuberculosis, and allergies.Frankincense (Boswellia carteri) is considered a holy anointing oil in the Middle East and has been used in religious ceremonies for thousand of years. High in sesquiterpenes, it helps stimulate limbic part of the brain, which elevates the mind, helping to overcome stress and despair. It is used in European medicine to combat depression.Spruce (Picea mariana) helps to open and release emotional blocks, bringing about a feeling of balance and grounding. Traditionally, spruce oil was believed to possess the frequency of prosperity. Spruce is ant-infectious, anti-septic, and anti-inflammatory.

Step 2:  HARMONY 

Harmony is an exquisite blend of 12 essential oils, which promotes physical and emotional healing through harmonic balance of the energy centers of the body, enabling energy to flow more efficiently. It helps reduce stress and create an overall sense of well-being. Apply 2 drops on the energy meridians either directly on or along the side of the body.  Harmony contains: 

Hyssop ( Hyssopus officinalis) is very balancing for emotions.

Spruce (Picea Mariana) read above in valor about spruce.Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) has sedative and calming properties that help overcome insomnia, headaches, stress, and nervous tension.Geranium (Pelargonium graveolens) stimulates nerves and assists in balancing hormones. Its aromatic influence helps release negative memories, thereby opening and elevating the mind.Frankincense (Boswellia carteri) ingredient previously mentioned above in Valor.Ylang Ylang (Cananga odorata) helps bring abut a sense of relaxation and may help balance male and female energies. It balances equilibrium and restores confidence and self-love.Sandalwood (Santalum album) is high in sesquiterpenes, which have been researched for their ability to stimulate the pineal gland and the limbic region of the brain, the center of our emotions. Sandalwood is similar to frankincense in its support of nerves and circulation and meditation.Angelica (Angelica archangelica) helps to bring memories back to the point of origin before trauma or anger was experienced, helping us to release negative feelings.Rose (Rosa damascena) possesses the highest frequency of the oils. It creates a sense of balance, harmony, and well-being and elevates the mind. It promotes healthy skin and reduces scarring.Orange (Citrus sinensis) was believed to bring joy, peace, and happiness to those who possessed it. Orange is elevating to the mind and body.Bergamot (Citrus bergmia) is one of there most uplifting fragrances, simultaneously energizing and calming, with a unique ability to relieve anxiety, stress, tension.Jasmine (Jasminum officinale) is beneficial for dry, greasy, irritated, or sensitive skin. It is used for muscle spasms, sprains, coughs, laryngitis, frigidity, depression, and nervous exhaustion.Lemon (Citrus lemon) has antiseptic-like properties and contains compounds that have been studied for their effects on the immune function, Lemon promotes a sense of well-being and its fragrance is stimulating and invigorating.Palmarosa (Cymbopogon martini) is helpful for all types of skin problems such as candida, rashes, and scaly and flaky skin. It is supportive to the nervous and cardiovascular system.Roman chamomile (Chamaemelum nobile) may calm and relieve restlessness, tension, insomnia, cuts, scrapes, bruises muscle tension and expel toxins from the liver.Rosewood (Aniba rosaeodora) ingredient previously mentioned above in Valor.Step 3: FORGIVENESS  Forgiveness has the electrical frequencies of the oils that may help release negative memories. This may have powerful effects in helping people move past emotional barriers, enabling them to achieve higher awareness, and compelling them to forgive and let go.  Forgiveness contains:

Rose ( Rosa Damascena) also found in Harmony .

Melissa (Melissa officinalis) is a powerful, antimicrobial oil, yet it is very gentle and delicate because of the nature of the plant, and helps to bring out those characteristics within the individual. It is calming, and balancing to the emotion. Melissa is one of the highest in sesquiterpenes, much like cedarwood. It is very stimulating to the anterior pituitary and immune system.Helichrysum (Helichrysum italicum) may help release feelings of anger promoting forgiveness. Frankincense ( Boswellia arteri) found in Valor and Harmony along with other oils previously mentioned - Angelica, Sandalwood, Lavender, Bergamot, Geranium, Jasmine, Lemon, Palmarosa, Roman Chamomile, and Rosewood.Step 4: RELEASE  Release bend is formulated to support the release of traumatic memories from the cells of the liver. Many energy medicine doctors believe that anger and hate energy is stored in the liver. Release stimulates a sense of harmony and balance within the mind and body and help release anger and memory trauma from the cells of the liver bringing a sense of peace and emotional well-being.

Letting go of negative emotions and releasing frustration enables one to progress in a positive way. Apply 1-2 drops over the liver area in a circular motion.  Release contains:

Ylang Ylang (Cananga odorata) mentioned above in Harmony.

Lavadin (Lavandula x hybrida) is antifungal, antibacterial, a strong antiseptic and tissue regenerator.

Geranium ( Pelargonium graveolens) read above in Harmony.

Sandalwood (Santalum album) also in Harmony.

Blue Tansy (Tanacetum annuum) found in Valor. So in other words as the little groundhog says, "Go on without me, let that memory go, it no longer serves me and I will be stronger now." Step 5: PRESENT TIME Present Time has an empowering fragrance, which give a feeling of being 'in the moment.' One can only progress through emotional release when in the present time. Apply 1-2 drops on the thymus ( top of the sternum) in a circular motion. Present Time Contains:

Neroli (Citrus aurantium) is highly regarded for its ability to heal the mind, body, and spirit.

It is stabilizing and strengthening to the emotions, promoting peace, confidence, and awareness.  It brings everything into focus at the moment. Ylang Ylang and Spruce which is in Harmony. Step 6 INNER CHILD Inner Child is a formula that may stimulate childhood memory. When children experience abuse or trauma, they can become 'disconnected' from their inner child or identity. This disconnection may not be apparent until many years later, manifesting itself as a 'mid-life crisis.' The Inner Child fragrance my stimulate memory response, helping one re-connect with his or her fundamental identity. This is an essential step or condition to achieving emotional balance. Apply 1 drop under the nose and 1drop around the navel. Inner Child Contains:

Orange ( Citrus sinensis) was believed to bring joy, peace, and happiness to those who

possessed it. It contains limonene, an antiviral compound, and citral, and antibacterial compound. It is elevating to the mind and body and brings joy and peace. Tangerine (Citrus nobilis) contains esters and aldehydes that are sedating and calming, helping with anxiety and nervousness. Neroli (Citrus aurantium) has been highly regarded by the Egyptian people for its great attributes of healing and calming the mind, body, and spirit. It is stabilizing and strengthening to the emotions, promoting peace, confidence, and awareness.  Neroli brings everything into focus at the moment. Lemongrass (Cymbopogon flexuosus) works well for purification. It is powerful in the regeneration of connective tissue. It may also help increase the flow of oxygen and uplift the spirit. Other oils in the blend are Spruce, Sandalwood, Jasmine, and Ylang Ylang.

****************************

There are more Emotional oils that you can use along with the Feelings Kit if you wish. 

3 Wise Men was formulated to open the subconscious mind through pineal stimulation to release deep-seated trauma encoded in the DNA. This blend opens the crown chakra and stimulates the limbic system, bringing a sense of grounding and uplifting through positive memory recall. Place 2-3 drops on the crown of the head.

Joy is and exotic blend of ylang ylang, bergamot and pure Bulgarian rose oil which produces a magnetic energy to attract love and enhance self-love, bringing joy to the heart. Apply 1-2 drops on the thymus (top of the sternum) in a circular motion.

Grounding may be helpful in situations where one is over-excited about new ideas or wants to escape into a protective fantasy. In this kind of mental state, it is easy to make choices which lead to bad relationships, bad business, decisions and other unfortunate circumstances. We seek for an escape because we have no anchor to know how to deal with negative emotions.  Grounding's aroma helps restore confidence and peace, enabling us to deal logically and peacefully with life's decisions. Apply 1-2 drops to the back of the neck and the sternum.

Hope is formulated to reconnect with a feeling of strength and optimism for the future. Hope must be in place in order to move forward in life. Hopelessness can cause a loss of vision of goals, and dreams, making it impossible to release emotional blocks. This aroma may also help in overcoming tendencies toward depression. Massage 1 drop on the outer edge of each ear.

Sara is an essential oil blend formulated specifically for opening the limbic system to release the memories of serious trauma connected with Sexual and /or Ritual abuse. Apply 1 drop over the energy centers on the navel and chest.

White Angelica is an amazing blend of 18 different oils, some of which were used during ancient times to increase the aura around the body, bringing a delicate sense of strength and protection. Its frequency protects against negative energies and helps to create a feeling of wholeness and oneness with the Creator. Apply 1-2 drops on the crown and on the shoulders.


Trauma Life helps release buried emotional trauma (i.e.., accidents, death of love ones, assault
abuse, etc.). It combats stress and up roots traumas that cause insomnia, anger, restlessness,
and weakened immune response. Apply 1-2drops on ears and back of neck.

Peace & Calming promotes relaxation and a deep sense of peace and emotional well-being,
helping to dampen tensions and uplift spirits. When massaged on the bottom of the feet, it can be a wonderful prelude to a peaceful night's rest. I may calm overactive and hard-to-manage children. Reduces depression, anxiety, stress, and insomnia. Apply 1-2 drops behind ears, and on wrists also feet.

**************************** 

Because essential oils affect the amygdala and pineal gland in the brain, they can help the mind and body by releasing emotional trauma and sharpening focus.


People have many distractions in today's fast-paced world. Essential oils may assist people to
stay centered in their goals. Those who are struggling to retain or remember information can breathe the essential oils of peppermint, cardamom, or rosemary to stimulate the brain and memory functions for better concentration. Those who find it difficult to stay focused breathe the essential oils of galbanum, frankincense, sandalwood, and Melissa. These oils are extremely
beneficial for clarifying one's purpose. The blend of Gathering will also bring focus to people's
minds. 

For emotional clearing and release, the combination of essential oils called Tramua Life is
especially helpful.

Make your own "Salvation Kit" in this order:
Joy, Gratitude, Humility, Surrender, Release, Forgiveness, and Believe.

*******************************

FOR EMOTIONAL RELEASE APPLY OILS OVER BODY LOCATION

Joy: Adrenals,Heart -  Unhappiness


Aroma Life: Heart, Lung - Unhappiness

Gratitude: Pancreas/Prostate or Ovary - Want and need; ungrateful

Humility: Liver - Aggresion, anger

Surrender: Gall Bladder - Control and manipulation

Surrender, Release: Liver - Holding onto emotions; boiling

Surrender, Release: Pancreas - Want and need; ungrateful

Release: Colon - Holding; unconscious need to control

Release: Kidney - Resisting against the flow of life; going with the flow

Forgiveness: Adrenals - Blaming or accusing others

Forgiveness, Joy: Lungs, Heart - Suppression

Believe, Joy, Surrender: Lungs - Unable to express, speak up for self

Believe: Lungs - Doubt; need for attention or recognition

Harmony: - Chakras - Chakras off balance

Inner Child - Ear - abuse, rejection, fear, mother, father

Remember - Staying in the Past (creates acid) 
What are your weak areas of the body? Close your eyes and identify where that came from, and question it. When you live in the past, the body creates acid. Live in the present moment now, and be excited about your life, be creative. During traumatic times, alter your diet to re-balance
your system, eat acid-binding (alkaline) foods, and drink lemon in water daily; (to prevent the acid from transcribing and imprinting the negative emotion, and even if you create acid during this time, it will be eliminated rather than stored.)


Pancreas - emotionally a place of want and need there, and a lack of gratitude. Remember, when there is no need, there is nothing wrong. The person who has no need has everything! One who has need has nothing. Reactivate the pancreas to come back into function and secrete properly. 


Use the Gratitude blend on the Pancreas and on the Vita Flex points. Say, "I am grateful for all that I am and for all that I have." Ask yourself, "If I were totally full of Gratitude, would there even be a need?" Also use Gratitude blend for Prostate or Ovary problems; it's from want and need.


The Liver and Gall Bladder (digestibility) are big issues. Gall Bladder problem means you have difficulty surrendering to new direction or counsel. Use Surrender blend on the Gall Bladder; it is calming, sedating, relaxing, and surrendering. Apply Surrender and Release blends over the Liver and Pancreas, and overcome your "Discovery of Self" issues. (Journal notebook for self discovery work). 


Everything stems from self understanding, the understanding of others, and releasing the issue or situation. Whatever happened to you, see how you could have done it differently, look at what role you played, see what you did or put out wrong, then change it - and that change will change what comes back to you. Don't waste your energy stuck in anger, because it creates the acid not allowing the change.

Hello, I Must Be Going

My apologies to everyone for not posting too much these days...I've had some major energy and pain issues triggered by constant earthquake and dramatic events in the past weeks.

Which meant I had to go through some major detox and after a week or so, I'm back to being myself again.

I am also formally announcing the closure of this blog as of April 1st (seriously, no April Fooling on this one).  The blog has evolved a bit over the years since 2005 just as I have, and I'm happy to say that it's been a tremendous pleasure to share so many interesting topics with everyone.  And finding like-minded authors of articles on healing, wellness, mind science, music, dance, poetry...so many that were a great source of personal inspiration, hope and joy for me. I hope they have been the same for you.

For my fellow practitioners who've faithfully participated in the weekly energy shares, I will continue to post them on Facebook where I believe they can be shared with a much larger circle of friends.  No goodbyes, just a brief journey into another chapter of life.  Join me in this new chapter and take part in another exciting venture...some folks have had clues of what this new venture is so keep your eyes and ears peeled...

So, until then, I leave you with this parting gift of humor - something so badly needed in these times -  one of my all-time favorite comedic groups...

A Prayer and Declaration for Japan

and all related friends and family

Modern life can feel dangerous and unstable. Removed from a sense of natural unfolding, our lives can seem precarious and chaotic. Both business and busy-ness can distract us from realizing the deeper flow. We may feel only the rapids and not the nurturing waters.

In times of such stress and anxiety, I seek a foundation firmer than the choppy flow of external events.

Like a tree buffeted by the wind, I am yet grounded in the deep soil of my spiritual life. My roots are strong and self-nurturing. They draw to me sustenance and support.

Today, I root myself in the earth. I connect to the seasons and cycles of life, the great wheel of nature that sustains us all. I reach beneath my daily life, funding my soul with the grace that underlies all things. I am grounded in life itself.

Energy Share for Sunday
March 27, 2011

Be with those who help your being

Be with those who help your being.
Don't sit with indifferent people, whose breath
comes cold out of their mouths.
Not these visible forms, your work is deeper.

A chunk of dirt thrown in the air breaks to pieces.
If you don't try to fly,
and so break yourself apart,
you will be broken open by death,
when it's too late for all you could become.

Leaves get yellow. The tree puts out fresh roots
and makes them green.
Why are you so content with a love that turns you yellow?


Ode 2865 by Rumi
Translated by Coleman Barks, www.allspirit.co.uk

From one of my all-time favorite poets, as you know, and sharing it with treasured friends as you. I believe the time is right now to place these energy shares where they will be accessible to a much larger circle of friends. The mission of an energy share has always been to give and receive support and motivation to healers worldwide, and to that end, I'll be posting the share messages on Facebook. So this will be the last share message on the blog and I want to let you know what a pleasure and honor it has been to conduct these weekly shares over the years. Now let's look forward to doing more for so many who are in dire need today, especially our friends, family, and neighbors at home and overseas.

And what better time to celebrate this transition than with my Birthday! Today, I am 45 years young! Don't know why people get so hung up on a number, when it's just another opportunity to celebrate a special day with loved ones. I've hosted my annual Tea & Chocolate Party which I've posted on Facebook with poetry, music and movie videos, http://on.fb.me/dMFyzG. Hopefully, the link works, otherwise, just checkout my profile, facebook.com/passion4living

So, from soul to soul, with all the happy, peaceful, loving energy I am thrilled to share, I also gratefully acknowledge the awesome spark of energy from you, welcoming it with open arms. Enjoy every moment and live the passionate life you intend it to be.

Namaste,

Birthday Reflections  Your birthday's a time for careful reflection
About your life, and its future direction.
You see where you've been when you look at the past;
Most of it's great; you had quite a blast!  You wonder what's coming, what life has in store;
Will it be just the same? Will there be a new door?
Remember this, as you blow out the last candle:
Life holds no challenge that you cannot handle.  By Joanna Fuchs

~ Empowerment ~
Our Next Reality The Beacons of Light Re-minders from Home are presented Live on the internet, transcribed and posted here on the 15th of each month. The next Lightworker VirtualLight Broadcast will be on

11:am US Pacific Time 
 
~ Re-minders from Home ~ 

From Steve:

The group gave me no warning about what was coming in this message.  The topic was clear from the beginning, but as they got further into it they made several clear points about what real empowerment looks like.  There were times in this message that the group asked each one of us some very direct questions about our views of empowerment.  What it looks like in actual practice and what we humans are envisioning may be different; they are preparing us for that step.  In this message full of love and hope, the group asks each of us to consider our own thoughts and personal dedication to stepping into empowerment.  They said we are stepping into the Age of E.

I will tell you this that may be interesting to some of you.  You may sense it as you watch this.  The group finished the message early, but they would not let me end until they were finished empowering you.  I had wrapped everything up for us to end but they would not leave yet, because there was a specific energy level that they insisted that we reach before ending. Even though the energy in the room was really high, they wanted to make sure each of you felt empowered before I could end the channel.  When this first happened my thoughts were on what the audience must be thinking, but then I realized that I was in front of a room full of psychics and let go.

I have an unusual seat for the ride and because of that I watch how they work with you through me.   They want us to see how they are empowering us, so that we can learn how to empower one another.  They consider us to be Human Angels in training.    This message was from the very heart of the group, and as the translator of this message I hope you can feel even a small amount of the love that I felt when bringing it in.

Have a great month and re-member one a day!

Big hugs,

Steve

Greetings from Home

Stepping into Empowerment

There is a word that was used in this room today that has echoed and reverberated very strongly throughout every single person each time you heard it. The word is empowerment. It is basically the energy all humans are stepping into right now. We have mentioned that the Age of E, the Age of Empowerment, is beginning now. This is actually the new energy entering that allows humans to carry more of their own spirit.  The illusion of separation was needed to play this game of pretending to be a human. Here you are now making a new body, a new energetic system which will hold more of your light. It will allow you to connect to each other in a more direct way, and over a period of time you will move into what we call deep contact communication. This is simply eliminating much of the fluff and getting down to a deep level of communication. You will soon be able to live in that level of communication every day using fewer words and having a deeper, stronger meaning with all of your communication.

This is happening as a result of human evolution. The collective vibration of all of humanity is moving extremely fast right now and is helping to change this planet every day. The connections now being made are energetically mimicking what we told you would happen with deep contact, only now you have the opportunity of reaching this deep contact level energetically even without the words.

This is what is taking place because humans everywhere are starting to communicate on an energetic level.

You in this room or watching these shows, you are the ones that have been teaching this for many years. So, this does not surprise you nor will you see much of a change in what we are talking about. We are telling you that every person on this planet is feeling this energy now. They do not always know how to acclimate to it, and they do not always understand what is going on with their world. What typically happens is that when new energy enters their world, their world becomes very small. Any type of a crisis and your world becomes very small. You do not think about things five years down the road, for you are dealing with any issue that is immediately in your face as all of your consciousness jumps into present moment.  The problem with that is that you come into complete present time, but you lose scope of everything that is happening, especially the bigger picture.

There are some keys that can help you tremendously to hold the larger vision of where you are going, and one of the biggest is empowerment. You are all moving into a stage of life where every human on this planet can carry at least 80% of their own true, natural creative power that they have always had. Since you love numbers so much, we will tell you that you have been carrying less than 3%. You are now starting to see the vast amount of change that can start to take place very rapidly on this planet, and it will happen in a lot of different ways.

Re-positioning for the Shift

It will happen in ways that allow you to see yourself change, as you move and elevate through experiences sometimes even through difficult experiences that come into your lives. Many of you are being re-positioned on this planet in order for this magic to happen in 2012, which is when you have decided it will happen. This is your miracle and it is well underway. You are creating magic. For this to happen, you must be in the place both energetically and physically in order to engage the energy.

Many are currently experiencing events that they view as setbacks. Some are finding relationship difficulties, while some are finding themselves moving without knowing why. If you are being re-positioned, please do not think of this as a negative. Even though it may be a negative step to put you in that position, it very well may be placing you at the highest potential for what you came to do.

As humans continue to re-move the veil it becomes apparent that you are all part of each other, that you are all connected. You are so accustomed to saying, “Oh, I do not like that energy. I do not like that person so I will just ignore that person. I just will not be around them and then I do not have to deal with them.” What we tell you is that you will soon find ways to harmonize even the most discordant energy in your field, because you have come from Home with a very sacred piece of the puzzle. This person who is bothering you also came from Home with a very sacred piece of the puzzle and the problem is that you are trying to fit together in a way that the puzzle does not fit. It is not until you start to move the puzzle pieces and rotate them around, looking at them from different perspectives, that you can see where these two pieces fit together. That is where you can see the harmony in all situations.

Empowerment Techniques

Let us go back to this word, empowerment, for just a moment. How does one become empowered?  We have talked many times of what it is about and what it will feel like carrying more of your own light, but let us talk specifically about how it happens. There is a trick for this.  As you start re-moving the veil and as you reach a higher vibration, you immediately become aware of the connection with other people…the easiest way to become empowered is to empower the people around you. It is very simple; it is not complicated at all. The challenge is that many times you cannot see where that will get you. It is not an action that humanity has been dealing with so far. Your usual tendency is to try and help another person. If a person comes to you with a problem or a situation where they just need a little push, absolutely you are right there to help them to go in the direction that will be the highest for them. What about true empowerment? What if you empowered that person so they could leave you? What if you empowered that person so they could go against the work that you were doing? How much do you trust humanity? How much do you trust your spirit? That is what this is going to come down to. If you trust the process, you will begin empowering everyone every chance you get because even if they leave you, even if they are not in your field, even if there is no connection whatsoever, that has changed your energy more than it has changed theirs. This is the key that most of you will find will bring you to that part you brought from Home, that piece of the puzzle that all of you have been looking for that you call your passion, your purpose, your intent and your path. All of those pieces are now coming to light but they will come through the people around you. How much light can you place in the eyes and hearts of the people around you every single day?

We ask you, when you go to sleep at night, if you will just stop for a moment and ask yourself, “Who did I empower today? What did I do today that was in the direction of selflessly empowering other people to find their own light?” Even if you believe that their piece did not fit with yours or has no connection to yours at all, if you empower them they put their piece in the puzzle where it belongs and it lets everything fit in your world as well. So, even if there is not a direct connection, the secret of life will become about empowering the people around you.

It is not easy to do because sometimes you just give them permission to be who they are. You give them confidence and encouragement, you give them a push to take that first step knowing it is then up to them. They have to go through that process, but it does not make any difference what the outcome of their life is. The action was that you empowered them in some way. Your first thought is that this is great because their light will get a little brighter, but we tell you that is pale in comparison to how much your light has increased because of the empowerment. If you wish to keep it, figure out a way to give it away as much as you can.

This is going to be the key to helping every person on this planet take this next step. We do not have all the answers as to how it is going to fit into your world. We can tell you the larger energy and some of the challenges we see currently, but we are counting on you to find ways of empowering other people.  We are counting on you to figure out ways that you can express your light every day of your life, in every hour, second and moment. This piece is going to be the next cornerstone of all of humanity; yes, you will have your power struggles, because power was always measured on a scale and that is not appropriate any more. The person who is most empowered is not always the happiest person. Just because you have been empowered does not necessarily mean that you are taking your power or acting upon it.

 Giving the Gift of the Opportunity to Shine

It simply means that people are giving you the opportunity in their world to shine very brightly. Every chance you get, give that same opportunity every chance you get to the people around you. Try to help them become the people that they want to be. That changes the focus from, “What is wrong with me?” or “What am I doing wrong?” or “What is the next step that I need to take?” Figure out a way to empower even one person just a little bit every day, and your life will change overnight. You will see the reaction and  the magnetism that will naturally bring everything to you that you have been struggling for so long and so hard. It seems to be polarized sometimes where it starts moving toward you and just before it gets to you it moves off to the side, just out of reach. It is about empowering yourselves. So, how do you do that?

You do it two ways: figure out a way to empower everyone around you and then when somebody empowers you, take it, step into it and own it. You have egos and you will be dealing with those egos the rest of your lives. It is about the balance and knowing that the more you own who you truly are, the more that everyone can see your real light. It is not about if you are better than they are or good enough, or any other comparison. It is about you finding your light. That is what makes your eyes light up when you smile. That is what gives you the opportunity to change hearts and lives just by walking through them and smiling. You are the angels of the New Earth. You are the Human Angels that have dared to come in with a body and make this incredible transition into a beam of light while still in physical form. We know it is difficult. We have seen your reactions. We have seen your testimony and we have seen your difficulties, but we tell you that it is not only possible, it is happening every single day. The question is how far do you want to take it? How far do you want to step into it? How comfortable are you at claiming and owning your light?

Help From the Other Side

Dear ones, it is not an easy decision but you are up for it. Humans are receiving a tremendous amount of energy from the other side of the veil. All those beings who stepped aside so that you could be here right now, are ready and waiting to help. They are there to send you energy and to help you magnetize your world, re-set your energy and re-take your power if only you ask. You have no idea what it is like on this side of the veil. We tell you that any time a human thinks about us, it lights us up from the inside out. It is an energy that has no comparison in the human world and we tell you that you do it all the time. It is not about us, it is not about thinking about us or worshiping us or putting us on a pedestal of any kind.

We live in a different dimension than you do. We can see things a little bit differently than you, but we are not better than you. We are here to serve you. We are here to help re-mind you of your magnificence of who you really are. When you dare to carry that, when you dare to put your ego aside enough to own your magnificence, we shine, we smile, we become empowered at that point for this is a universal concept. The empowerment of all humanity will take place very quickly. Yes, there will be struggles about it. And yes, there will be a lot of fun about it as well, but how you decide to take this in your individual life will be entirely up to you. We challenge you: Empower at least one human every day and watch the magic unfold.

We have watched your journey and know how much you struggle with being a human. We understand how difficult it is to have that veil that keeps you from remembering who you are. We are here for that reason. We are here to help you know how truly magnificent you are.

Dear ones, you are the greatest angels that have ever lived. You have dared to take off your wings and come and play this magical game. Now that you have won the game, you are taking it to the next level. Do so by holding hands and watch the magic.

It is with the greatest of honor that we leave you with three little reminders. Treat each other with the greatest respect for you are looking in the eyes of god. Nurture one another every chance you get and re-member that it is a game and play well together.

Appreciating Home

Barbara Rother Photos by Sanne

By Barbara Rother

I am very much in the moment of appreciating home.  I feel so blessed.  I have a loving family, a home that reflects Steve and my energy.  I am proud of what Steve and I have created though our dreams becoming a reality.  I can honestly say that when someone enters our house that they feel at home.  This is because we feel so comfortable in our own settings that we reflect that to all who enter.  When we do a seminar whether it is in person or on-line I wish to extend a welcome to all who join. It is about creating a space that allows everyone to feel at ease.  It is not really about the material setting where you gather but more the heartfelt energy of bringing people together.

Every morning I watch the news and emphasize with those who are going through such struggles. Japan is being challenged to survive.  Seeing the devastation of so much of this country being wiped out saddens my heart.  I know this is why I have such gratitude now.   Many people have lost all that I am thankful for in my life. 

I wonder why so many have to endure such hardships.  I feel so frustrated.  What can I do to help all these people in the world?  I then remember to take a deep breath and be in the present in my own world.  I cannot help anyone if I sink so deeply into their pain.   I feel by being optimistic I can change my world around me.  Maybe I can’t reach an individual in Japan or other parts of the world who have such deep hardships but I can in my own small but powerful way.  Reach out to those nearby and help in some way.  

What can we do to make a difference? We can do this by connecting one heart at a time.  It is contagious.  Be kind to a person and then they will carry on the kindness to the next and then the next and from there on. This can reach beyond the barriers of distance.  I feel the pain of so many losing their homes or not knowing what is in store for their future.  I know by counting my blessings I can help more people.

I had a phone conversation with someone recently. I asked her how she felt about the Japanese tragedy.  She said she was sorry for all the pain inflicted on this land but it all seemed so far away and not part of her reality.  I had a similar conversation with someone after 911 happened.  Her words were the same.  This does not make them uncaring people. I know what happens in any part of this world does affect our world but our individual lives continue. We are all so connected. Perhaps my two friends reminded me you cannot move forward if you wallow in pain. I feel those who are experiencing such unbelievable struggles.  I now send them my love and support.

I am relishing in the beautiful beginning of springtime season in our area.  I love that Austin has started a garden that is growing already. Flowers are ready to bloom.  I have not been able to be home so much in the past years.  As much as Steve and I love traveling and meeting other Lightworkers in person it is a treat for us to appreciate home in a renewed way.  

I ask you if you wish to join me to take a moment.  Feel the appreciating for your own home.  Now send this to anyone throughout this planet who are less fortunate.   Those who are open to our heartfelt thoughts will feel the peace we are sending their way.

It is the time of new beginnings.  Let us not live in fear but by hope. Envision life blessed with joy, ease, prosperity and health. That is how we all can make a difference not only in our own world but to all who are connected to us in this beautiful planet.

With Love and Light,

Barbara.
