Because They Can by Lisa Renee - Time Shift Blog | Energetic Synthesis



Dear Ascending Family,

Given how tired I feel in this moment, this may be a short update, but it feels worth mentioning because it has a planetary field level resonance and it can hit deep into the emotional chords within us. In the collective consciousness waves, and within the smaller pockets of those awakening and creating new reality bubbles, there are stages of gaining deeper realization that can surprise us when they hit us hard emotionally.

Like oceanic waves rolling in with the tide, there can be a flood of deeply intense emotions that can grip us in a tightly knotted ball of feelings, feelings that we have to direct into some level of positive resolution. When feeling pent up intense emotions we can redirect mental triggers and diffuse the emotional charge through meditations, sessions or body work. These larger oceanic ripples in the earth field tend to stimulate those intense and surreal moments that show up from out of nowhere, completely out of the blue, where in this sudden moment it is realized that you have to face something that is unpleasant, and this situation may be very awkward and difficult. These abrupt changes can feel like an sudden emotional ambush from out of left field that no one was expecting, altering life events that just handed you a bunch of new problems to solve. Maybe these are problems you did not even realize you had until they were blaringly pointed out to you.

These are wild card times, sudden events that are so intense that it lends to sensations of psychological-physical disorientation, a feeling that the body has just been exposed to some major event that everyone around you is pretending never happened. A feeling of being nearly injured when being catapulted throughout some different time and space as these intensely deep baritone waves of magnetic change move on through, rearranging us and our lives, giving us the subtle clue this is the time to lay low and take good care.

It is always better to achieve stillness in order to diffuse the internal feelings of emotional charge before reacting or taking action upon anything that is happening in the external. One of the biggest lessons we learn in these circumstances that come with great emotional charge and intense feelings, is that the dark forces and parasitic entities jump onto that heightened emotional substance and hijack it. They collect emotional energy for shaping more intensified dark amplification for generating even more negativity between the parties involved or in challenging circumstances.

This phenomena has been witnessed in an array of potentials in the outer world, such as severely tragic events that are triggered through unstable humans that are used as dark portals, which remain hidden and mostly unknown from the public view. As an example the dark entity does what it can to amplify the tragic results to prey on humanity when most emotionally vulnerable and weak. So when we pray for people and pray to help resolve difficult circumstances, many times we can help to diffuse the intense buildup of negative emotions, pain and fear, and this can actually shift the events to unfold more gracefully, lessening the burden of energetic impact upon the people involved. Compassionate witnessing, neutrality, and the ability to hold space for what is with a unconditionally loving heart, is much more powerful than we tend to believe, because we cannot always see the results of the energetic diffusion and the energetic shift that happens in the external events.

In earlier stages of awakening, when we start to really see and deeply sense these distortions or abuses in the environment and we know the harm they cause deliberately, it can be very hard to discipline ourselves to stay centered and calm, neutral in the face of forces that are designed to create utter destruction or chaos. Many times chaos ready to explode is dressed up with a pretty bow and presented to unaware people that cannot tell the difference.

In the stages of our spiritual development when we undergo the uncovering of deceit, lies and manipulation, the complex gaslighting that was covering up true and accurate facts to appear as something it’s not,  when a person finally sees the true facts that was hidden beneath the deceptions, they can get very, very angry.

As the crack of light appears in the center of the dark shadow for some in the collective consciousness, as the inner light turns on they can see more that was hidden in the dark room that they did not see before. When they can see this darkness moving in the shadows, there is a scrambling to make sense of it and verify what it really is during the realization of the great manipulation or deception. Maybe it is the fact they had been deceitfully used by another, or abused in ways they did not fully understand previously. No one feels good being used and manipulated, it is a tactic of the dark force imposters. This also opens another octave of light to illuminate our inner vision to see what had been hidden in the dark closet or held in situations that maybe had been deeply denied as a truth with the people involved in those circumstances. Or simply the complex subconscious contents in these events or situations had just remained unseen and unknown to our current awareness, and after many years and much effort expended, we discover that our energy was being directed for unsavory or unethical purposes.

Naturally as a consequence, we may ask, what is our responsibility to this moment? What is my moral or spiritual obligation to be in the face of such awkward and challenging circumstances where this deep revelation of deception, manipulation, intended harm towards the broken or innocent ones, people I know - what is the best course of action? What is in my power to do and what is not? For many people that still think with 3D thoughtforms, the first reaction will be to take aggressive or purposeful action against the deceiver, manipulator, or situation that has been used to take advantage over others.

Yet, taking outward or aggressive action is generally the least beneficial thing one can do in these moments, the inner strength is built upon being able to compassionately witness and be willing to see the entire truth, to integrate the information into your knowledge base, and to remain still and able to observe yet more.

In these cases, wisdom is very hard earned, there is a high art in the skill of true knowing in when to take action, and when to hold space in non-action.

Many times the hard truth is that you will come to know the very people that were being abused or manipulated refuse to acknowledge what is happening in the form of harm or deception, and they may seek to stay asleep in their astral mirror of delusion, as they are unwillingly to change or take responsibility for any of the realizations surfacing. Many times when you try to relay this truth they will fight back with hostile reactions, shutting down any further dialogue. When we can see this overview, and it’s very common, it can feel painful, confusing and hard to reconcile and navigate conflicts that involve other people. All we can be responsible for is our own personal conduct and behavior, we cannot exert control over anyone else.

There is an elevation of this deeper realization occuring in the collective consciousness that is present in the environment and field. This is being observed as a reflection of the challenging stages of processing anger and grief during the planetary Dark Night of the Soul.

One of the biggest questions awakening people are asking themselves is how we feel when we wake up one day and we deeply and completely realize that we had been completely deceived and used in some way, such as:

*We trusted someone who was not who they appeared to be (misplaced trust),
*We were serving some outer intention happily, only to discover that it was false, harmful or inverted (usurped intent),
*We fully embody the knowing to see how pain and torture of our fellow humans is occurring daily as normal occurrences (conditioning abuse),
*We have spent our time and hard earned resources to play a prominent role in the Controller game that feeds into the decaying system of human enslavement (world slavery),
*We see warped leaders taking advantage of broken people which is producing even more pain, trauma, and fragmentation setting up the dark entity feeding frenzy (NAA set up),
*We can see blatant power abuses playing out that intentionally hurt others that are unaware that this agenda is occurring (reinforcing abusers and predators),
*We interact with 3D people that have no meaning behind their words, people that do not follow up with what they said they would do (the empty promises and words of superficialism. materialism and bs),
*We see those manipulating over and over again to gain a position of strategic advantage that is meaningless in the overall (control and power mongers),
*We witness death, trauma or tragic events that appear to be senseless, reckless or idiotic (carelessness and no reverence for life).

Welcome to the higher realizations of spiritual awakening when undergoing the continued exploration of the watery depths of the Dark Night of the Soul!

When uncovering some of these unpleasant truths, it is common to feel anger, depression and grief rising. A helpful description is the Kübler-Ross model, which includes anger in the five stages of grief, which is necessary on the path of expressing authentic emotions that lead to emotional and spiritual healing.

Feeling anger and grief can be a necessary stage of the emotional healing process, because it triggers self realization into acknowledging that something negative, traumatic or painful has happened to us. It is better to recognize it as its happening than allow pent up anger to be expressed in uncontrolled outbursts or black depression. Be willing to feel and witness anger and grief to help redirect and release it. The more you truly feel it, understanding why you feel this way and recognizing its movement through personal observation, the more it will begin to dissipate through greater acceptance and awareness that supports emotional healing.

An important component of emotional healing is validation that the event and the experience has happened, and that you have the divine right to feel the emotions that you are feeling.

It may be that you will need to make life changes to adjust accordingly to be truer to yourself. In this stage it is important to validate your feelings and to honor your experience in the storyline when you felt pain. However, at some point you’ll need to see it is a storyline and that you will want to be freed from the emotional attachments to any storyline as these stories limit our consciousness expansion and experiences of joy and peace. Anger ridden and grief stricken stories can barrel through our minds like an out-of-control train careening down the tracks. To find freedom from pent up anger and grief, we must recognize the story and see that repeating it over and over again does not serve us to emotionally grow and move forward in more peace. Yes, what happened did happen to us, even if people around us ignored it. But we have to make the choice on how much longer we allow the burden of negative emotions to hang on to our thoughts and feelings, like a ball and chain that keeps us captives to the painful past.

Here are some strategies to help soften the storyline:

*Open up with compassion to everyone involved, including yourself.
*Recognize that you are bringing the past into the present moment by repeating the story in your mind endlessly. At some point for your own sanity and health, you must let it go.
*Bring your full attention into the sensations and emotions that you are experiencing in the moment.
*Commit to bringing all of your actions in alignment with what you really want to be aligned with.
*Call for spiritual support, prayers and help to move through the painful situation with grace, and the highest expression possible for all parties.


All of us can relate to these difficult experiences and painful feelings at some point in our life, and this is especially prevalent during the Dark Night of the Soul process, the phase when we really start uncovering some of life’s gory hidden details. Sometimes we can be shocked at what we can see and remember.

This week, a poignant statement was relayed to me about a public, powerful and wealthy male in high government that was caught foisting himself onto female co-workers and having many unethical sexual relationships, that clearly indicated severe power abuses and harmful harassment of the women involved. When he was discovered and asked why he did this and put his career and reputation at risk through continuing these sexual predator behaviors, which disturbed his duties in government office, he replied “Because I Can”.

This statement defines the motives of dark forces and Imposter Spirits perfectly. Why do these dark forces do it, Because They Can. Why do predatorial people continue to abuse others, Because They Can.

It takes incredible spiritual strength to not allow ourselves to be overcome by the powerful forces of negative emotions like grief and anger that can potentially harm us, or direct harm to others around us. No matter what others may have done to deceive us or manipulate us in the past, we can be the person that wakes up and refuses to succumb to the Service to Self dark force ideology “Because I Can”.  Instead, consciously choosing to align with the truth spirit, refusing to give our power away to abusers, and being of service to the Christ Consciousness which operates at a much higher frequency. Once we can fully recognize the people, leaders, entities around us that really operate in Service to Self motivations, we can make choices every day to disengage with them, refusing to feed our energy into that paradigm anymore. Refocus your mind and emotions by becoming productive by being in Service to the greater whole, doing what you can to make a difference every day, taking small and consistent steps to improve yourself.

PRACTICE FIVE: SERVICE TO OTHERS – Upon firmly loving yourself and honoring your path, find methods to be of service to others that do not overstep personal boundaries of discernment. Being of Service to Others does not include consumptive modeling, such as Victim-Victimizer, parasitism or emotional vampirism. Being of service does not hold an ego perspective of entitlement, expectation or attachment. Practice being of service with unconditional love, and naturally flowing in the moment. The energy exchange made between participants being of service to others, amplifies and expands consciousness growth like no other method. The more you amplify the energetic field of being in service to others, the more joy, harmony and gifts will be brought into your life. The more service you dedicate to Gods plan, the Law of One, the more spiritual support and spiritual presence one can exchange with God Force.


Many blessings of peace, love and strength to our awakening community in these surreal times.

Love, Lisa

Doreen Virtue on Grief...





"When your heart breaks from grief, that can also be the time
when your heart opens even more to love." -Doreen Virtue

As you may know, Louise Hay made her transition recently on August 30, 2017, passing peacefully in her sleep at age 90. Although she had lived a long life, it was still a shock when she passed.

Shock is a natural reaction to change. It’s the first stage of grief which gives us a cushion while we slowly adjust to accepting the change. Even if you didn’t know Louise personally, it’s likely that you felt a personal connection with her, and that can still lead to shock and other signs of grief.

When new losses occur, it can bring up old unhealed grief about our previous losses. New grief can compound old grief. Signs of unhealed grief can include a change in eating or sleeping patterns, unstable emotions including bursts of anger, temptation to relapse into addictive behavior, and depression.

That’s why it’s important to take good care of yourself during the grieving process. Being extra-gentle with yourself, keeping your schedule simple, avoiding harsh situations, immersing yourself in prayer, and making quiet time, are examples of necessary self-care during the grieving process. Therapists who specialize in healing from grief and trauma, as well as grief support groups, can be tremendously helpful.

Grief involves many emotions and thoughts, including survivor’s guilt, anger and blame. These aren’t pleasant emotions, but they need to be addressed instead of smothered over, or ignored. Prayer, journaling, and getting compassionate support can help you to heal from these intense-but-normal reactions to loss.

Grief, like all forms of earthly suffering, can lead to great healing and spiritual growth. Our broken hearts can have more compassion, and a greater ability to love deeply. We may be inspired to help others through their grief, to spend more quality time with loved ones, and to focus upon our true priorities.

Here’s a helpful prayer:

“Dear God, Thank you for holding my hand and sending your comforting angels to me during this time of transition. Please lift me up, and give me the strength to fulfill my responsibilities and priorities, and show me which activities to focus upon and which to release. Thank you for being with my loved one who crossed over, and reassuring me that they are with you in heaven. In Jesus name, Amen.”

In his sermon on the mount, Jesus said these comforting words: “God blesses those who mourn, for they will be comforted” (Matthew 5:4 NLT).

My prayers are with you, and with everyone whose heart is grieving. May we find peace and comfort in God’s love.

Love,
Doreen

Accelerated Ascending & Descending by Denise Ke Fay | HighHeartLife

Accelerated Ascending & Descending

alarm Warning: I’m still raw from the sudden illness and death of my cat and haven’t fully stabilized yet, not that most of us are doing so great at stabilizing ourselves from everything that’s happened and will continue to happen. Because of all this and more, this article may contain some serious cursing, heartbreak sobbing from one sentence to the next, general frustrations and sadness shifting suddenly into abrupt joy and excitement caused by Higher Awareness Knowings, all of which will hopefully be explained clearly enough by myself below. Hopefully, but maybe not. I need more sleep, rest and releasing. Thanks for understanding.


forked-road1


I don’t need to say how unbelievably miserable, shocking, painful, unnerving, frightful and downright traumatic life and reality has been since November 8, 2016, election day here in the USA. If you’re a Sensitive/Empath, you FELT (yes, in caps!) massive waves of repeated emotional shock, disbelief, pain, fear, anger, confusion and sheer panic from the human masses in the USA and around the world, and it continues and will increase as this American Brexit-like change becomes increasingly conscious in more people around the globe. Problem is that the masses aren’t consciously aware that all this chaos, negativity, blatant hustle, ugly revelations of what’s always been hidden in darkness and silence until now and wild changes have a positive causation behind them — that being highly compressed evolution. Many times the “monsters” are used to get The Higher Job Done, which in this case is to force humanity to wake up very quickly, and the “monsters” aren’t consciously aware of it due to their monumental egos, narcissism, limited awareness, delusions of grandeur and other low imbalances, illnesses, weaknesses and consciousness.

There’s “disclosure”, which many have demanded from governments for decades, and then there’s real full-blown, ugly and suddenly in-everyone’s-face type disclosure and that’s what humanity suddenly has now. You can’t demand or expect that only the specific bits and pieces be “disclosed” that you want in exactly the ways you expect them (UFOs, ETs and other related things), not during the Ascension Process. No, this is all-inclusive, high low, throw in the kitchen sink spiritual disclosure and it’s not what most were hoping for or expecting but is light-years beyond and is utterly necessary for mass humanity. They need to consciously know so they’ll redirect themselves towards evolving now. Things are so much easier to do and change when you honestly know how profoundly horrible, dark and evil they’ve actually been all along.

One of the main things I’ve been concerned about for myself over these evolutionary Ascension years is if I’d be able to not be affected by other people’s emotional energies when major things like what we’re fully in now happen. Most Forerunners/Starseeds/Wayshowers/Indigos were born Sensitive/Empathic (and much more) and have—like it or not—always felt humanity and their emotional energies. For the sake of our sanity and health we’ve had to learn how to not be run-over, derailed or broken by other people’s lower frequency emotional energies just because we can feel them.

Decades ago I could barely stand the period from Friday evening through Sunday evening because of beliefs the masses held (and many still do) about those hours and days and the almost mandatory “partying” — getting drunk, high, laid or whatever that people were hellbent on achieving every weekend because… because… because it was what everyone did! Repulsive herd mentality. Same with Summer here in the USA and “vacation” time and beliefs that goes with that. Next were the primary “holidays” here, all of which are war and/or religion related. It has not been easy or pleasant living amidst this constant stream of lower consciousness and reality that the unaware and unthinking masses endlessly produce.

What we’re in now is 1,000 times more intense and many have been flattened, shell-shocked, emotionally traumatized by the onslaught of other people’s emotional energies in November 2016. You realize there’s much more to come right? This means the Forerunners have to get ourselves up out of the muck yet again and get back to Higher Work shining the NEW Light that is us while the patriarchy devours itself for all to finally see in this global reality show. Often being a Lightwarrior is far easier than maintaining 5D HighHeart centered life while the old world and consciousness around you descends even farther into negativity and darkness. This is the Separation of Worlds and it’s very visible physically now. Much of it now has to do with those same human masses I was complaining about earlier, very quickly waking up and evolving into something they’ve never even known was possible before November 2016. That is some major evolution happening very quickly and the Forerunner Sensitives and Empaths are and will continue to feel humans and what they’re going through so get back to your HighHeart center and stay there as best you can. Easier said than done sometimes I certainly understand but it’s what we’ve got to do for ourselves, for them, for Gaia, for everything and everyone everywhere. We are the Living Embodied Light and we help stabilize and anchor during profoundly extreme times and shifts like what we’re in now and will be throughout 2017.

emotional wounds


Having said all that great sounding stuff I want to share with you how my 11½ year-old Ascension buddy and best physical friend cat began his physical death process on November 8, 2016, election day, and died on November 16th. Like humanity freaking out that day over the presidential win wasn’t enough. So much for maintaining HighHeart in the eye of the storm for me. Good god almighty this has been the longest 9 days (yes, 9 energies of Completion lasting 9 days) from November 8–16th out of time Zero Zone experience with nearly every fucking minute lasting half an eternity and being emotionally and physically, heart and body painful to the extreme. I’ve worked to stay conscious through all this plus not steer it one way or another but let it unfold while I discerned, as honestly as I could under these highly emotional conditions, what was best for my cat and myself now. This was a 9 energy test/transition for me in so many ways.

My cat was dying because it was time for him to do so, but how I dealt with it and what I learned from it all was/is as valuable as our 11½ years together were. This little feline guy has literally been at my side since Spring 2005, and he’s been attacked by Team Dark multiple times right along with me. He’s been my physical Ascension buddy and partner and I’m glad he exited at the end of these 9 energies of 2016, to have a good long and much-deserved rest and play elsewhere. Our relationship was appropriate from early 2005 through 2014, but I’ve known that after his two strokes in early 2015 (5–6 months after my Mom had her stroke in August 2014), that I could Care-give them both for only so long before it took a toll on me and/or interfered with or diminished my Forerunner work. I knew the cat would exit before my Mom, but he and I still had to live and die through all that. What a time it’s been since the start of 2014…

The point I’m trying to make is that because we’re at the threshold of the last 9 yearlong cycle at the end of 2016, and the start of a totally NEW higher evolutionary spiral in January 2017, a lot more people, pets and everything else like companies, systems etc. will suddenly be dying/exiting and no more. Do your best with their sudden leaving and get back in the Ascension saddle as quickly as you can Forerunner because you and your abilities are needed now so very much. The crying continues and will for a while because our fur friends are so, so special, especially these Ascension companions. What Lightwarriors of Love and loyalty they have been for Forerunners and those awakening during such difficult and dangerous times.

Wait, crying again, can’t see the computer screen… sobbing


Physical sounds have been very Zero Zone-ish recently meaning what I’ve heard sounds to me to be highly amplified and slightly distorted in some unusual ways. Space, distance, travel speed etc. has sounded (and been) unnatural again, indicating we’re moving into another NEW area physically and energetically. Also I’ve been clairvoyantly Seeing flashes of human and nonhuman faces and bodies and other strange beings from across time and space. Some very weird-looking beings and many of them really pissed off! We’re most definitely transitioning between the last 9 at a lower level and the NEW 1 at a higher level and it’s drawn in some very strange beings and creatures, both positive and negative into this unusual space we’re traveling through. I’m too exhausted at the moment to give much of a shit one way or the other however. I suspect that’s a positive thing considering how emotionally beat-up I’ve been since November 8th over my cat exiting in super slow motion—in addition to the political patriarchal shit-show insanity and most of humanity reacting to it.

What did everyone think or expect the downfall of the patriarchy was going to look like and be and how did you think the unaware folks would react to it all? Some people want big change but much bigger change is what they’re going to get and not for the reasons or through the people they believed would bring it. Sometimes some people’s “heroes” or “leaders” etc. are just the physical vehicles to collapse what needs to disappear altogether because its time and structures have Expired. The trump chump crew needs to do exactly what they are to shock people into their HighHearts and consciousness so they take personal responsibility and stop endlessly handing over their hopes, dreams, expectations, thinking and power to other people. 5D life and reality requires people to be Self-Empowered, Self-Source-contained and connected or individually Sovereign in other words. Sometimes seeming “monsters” are needed to push people into growing and changing when they don’t know how to or want to. Things are not what they seem at the surface level but so much more, and all very positive because they’re causing people to wake up fast. 2017 will be much more of this as old systems disintegrate under the Light and individuals and smaller Groups everywhere starting to do and build for themselves in 5D HighHeart ways and exit completely from the old ways and beliefs.

Weird amplified sounds. Intrusive never-before-seen other dimensional beings popping in suddenly to have a look-see and feel at me/us here. My body and heart/chest/spine at the heart area hurting terribly due to periods of intense kitty mourning and it letting me know that living with an expanse of high and low is not good because the energetic gap is way too much. Severe physical and emotional exhaustion causing need to sleep/nap/rest and be motionless because we’re in profound transition now. Feeling, Seeing, Hearing multiple dimensions, realities and beings all crammed up next to each other and humanity as the old world and reality enters accelerated Descension and the rest enter accelerated Ascension. Just that’s bound to feel, look, sound and be rather weird and unusual at times. Have you noticed the great increase in Angelic activity recently too? The higher levels and dimensions are as busy, chaotic and yet perfect in all this too but occasionally it feels rather unnerving down here to See Angelic Beings hustling to keep up with so much change everywhere.

I’ve seen the number combination of 1 0 0 1 constantly this month. It’s not 10:01 as in time, but in 0 representing the Zero Zone space after the 9 energies of Completion and before the start of the 1 energies of New Beginnings (January 2017) on a higher evolutionary spiral of existence. Combine all this and it’s no wonder we’re exhausted, excited, dazed and amazed, achy both physically and emotionally, perceiving NEW stuff and beings and much more.

As painful and exhausting as it can be when something or someone in your personal life dies and is physically gone, understand that this too is part of the ongoing changes we’re all going through. If they need to exit, let them and love them for the gift they were in your life. None of us can live in the past now in any way and this can and usually does take some sudden and unexpected manifestations in all of our lives so be prepared to let go of even more. This transition is huge and not all will remain in-body to go through it and that’s perfect. There’s been times when I’ve wondered if I was going to be able to remain in this Denise body and ride this thing to the other side. I think we’ve all had moments when we’ve thought this about ourselves and that’s perfect too.

What a ramble this has been and I’m sorry but I’m not here nor there but in the in-between, the Zero Zone, participating in the release of the old in preparation for NEW fires and connections to be fully lit in our HighHearts and Souls. What does it look like and feel like when your Higher Self and your Lower Self merge in a physical body? We’re finding out as I write this so don’t throw the towel in at this point!❤

OM Times: Responding to Losses by Carl Greer, PhD, PsyD



OM Times: Responding to Losses
by Carl Greer, PhD, PsyD


How much of your story involves dealing with losses? As you get older, you find that you and more and more of your friends are suffering losses. Yet at any point in life, a person can experience a devastating loss or even series of losses. Losses can involve actual deaths or be like deaths: for example, the ending of a job or relationship, or suffering a mental or physical illness can be a devastating blow. A transition, even if eagerly anticipated, can feel like a loss in some ways. Events such as retirement, a move to a new city, or having your last child move out, often bring deeply mixed emotions.

Shamans say that all endings lead to beginnings, and we must learn to work with the energy of endings to ensure that we do not get stuck in what is already dying and keep ourselves from experiencing what is being born. To better cope with losses and transitions, we need to change our attitude toward them. If we’re in touch with our eternal essence and the waxing and waning of all aspects of our lives, the birthing and the dying, we can move beyond bitterness about things not staying as we want. Then we will find it easier to accept “what is,” realizing the many blessings that we still have despite what we have lost.

Change is inevitable. If we remember that, we won’t be as shocked and upset as we might otherwise be when it occurs. We can adapt and be resilient. Life goes on, even if we experience it very differently than we did before.

How do you respond when someone you know has a loss or major transition? Is your response heartfelt or perfunctory? Does your own fear of loss get in the way with your being fully present with the person who is upset over a loss? After saying what you think is the right thing, how quickly do you get back into focusing on your own life, forgetting the pain or the suffering that someone who might be close to you is going through?

Some people resist staying connected to others who have experienced loss because they fear for their own difficulty in returning to a positive, optimistic state. Their mind turns to the losses they might suffer, too. Their fear of endings and the uncertainty of what will replace what has been lost can frighten them. Do you become deeply discombobulated after hearing of another’s loss because you are especially empathetic, or because you start to fear what you might lose?

Think about when you experience a big loss of your own. How quickly do you get back into your own life and routines? How much time do you allow yourself to grieve? After a significant loss, do you find it hard to remain in the present moment and see a hopeful future? How could you step back from your pain and still honor the memory of whomever or whatever was lost, and start living again? Could you create a ritual or ceremony to help you deal with your loss?

You might create a fire ceremony that can help you release the energy of grief and open you to new energies. One way to do a fire ceremony is to use a candle flame or a fire in a fireplace or outdoors and some sticks you can burn. Blow into a stick the energy of what you would like to release from yourself and your energy field, such as sadness. Then, place the stick into the fire. Next, pick up another stick and blow into it something you want to gain, such as an openness to new possibilities—happiness, inner peace, or a new relationship, for example. Then, burn that stick, exchanging the old energy for the new. Afterward, take some time to observe any changes in how you feel, and how you felt during the ritual itself. Consider writing about the experience in your journal, and repeating the ceremony if you feel you want to release more grief, or release other energies associated with your loss, such as anger or fear. Use the ceremony to bring in energies such as hope, happiness, and courage, all of which can help you to step out of the old story of loss and write a new one.

"Hi everybody and welcome to the June 2014 Energy Forecast.

It’s beautiful out here today. It’s warm. It’s sunny.

And yet, the strongest energy I feel to start this forecast with is to address grief. Because this is an energy that is coming up collectively for everybody, and I‘ve noticed this is very much at the forefront of people’s issues right now.

Each month I hold a live Q and A broadcast which is available to members of The Portal, and since last month, to everybody. And in the last three months of holding these broadcasts, I have noticed an enormous amount of grief and panic is the ongoing theme through people’s questions.

So certainly, the last few months have been more intense than we’ve experienced before. But as I have repeatedly said over the last year or so, the key for all of us is that the intensity outside of us is not going to die down. So the only way that we can actually improve our experience of it is to learn to better work with it or to work with our inner selves – and often it’s both that are required.

So for example, those of you who are feeling grief around what you’re seeing going on on the planet, you will want to look at activism around those areas – conscious activism. So that you’re bringing your voice, your energy towards the area that you are most grieved about.

And many of you will say to that "Well, where do I start? There are so many options." And what I always say is if you are feeling overwhelmed by everything, but there is one key area that you are more passionate about, walk there. Now, the issue you might have is you might feel, “Well how is that enough? How is that enough in these times?”

I think all of us are feeling how is what we are doing enough; particularly the sensitive among you who are looking at the world and seeing multiple areas of need kicking off all at the same time.

I personally have that thought all of the time with the work that I’m doing in the world. I’m sure many of you have it with your work, or the way that you’re living your life or the role that you are holding within your family. This 'thought' is part of the collective response to all we are seeing around us.

There is an overwhelming urgency going on everywhere 'outside' at the moment. And yet, what I have come to find, is that the only way I can be of most use to what's going on around me in these times, is to be as centered as I can. And some days that’s easier than others. (Laughter)

So for those of you who are not yet consciously making changes around the way you are working with your body, the way you’re working with your personal patterns, it’s really time to do that.

So for example, if you’re feeling over-stimulated by everything you’re seeing in the world, are you on the computer too much? Because at the moment there are a wealth of terrifying headlines on the computer. For example, even some of the great petition websites that I regularly sign things for, will often send me emails with headlines saying, “Terrifying new news!”.

So every day in my inbox I’m seeing words such as “terrifying”, “horrific”, “urgent”. Now even if the writers of those emails all believe that their cause and their case is true, what this does to the nervous system when this is coming at you every single day is it fires off all sorts of signals in you. So you have to be discerning, and you have to be mindful of what you are 'taking in' from the outside world.

So the odd thing about this time is that the very reason that consciousness is awakening faster, and people are having deepening experiences with themselves, is because they are having to back away from everything that’s going on outside them. And you either get pushed into backing away; illness/catastrophe or some other circumstance that forces you to stop your regular pattern. OR, you consciously and deliberately invite yourself there.

So, I’m aware lots of you are still spinning out inside yourselves, and still spinning and ricocheting off what’s going on in the world energetically.

For example, those of you that are maybe single parents holding down two jobs, that’s very difficult for you to try and carve out space for yourselves, compared to those of us who perhaps aren’t parents. At least when our job is over, all we have to deal with is our friends and our family and ourselves. We’re not also caretaking and guiding kids. I’ve always said that parenting is the hardest, most hours exhausting job on the planet. Even though all the parents I know will say it’s the most rewarding.

But particularly those of you that are parents, you might be struggling a bit with your kids at the moment.

You’re going through a lot of stress both in your role as a parent, but also your own relationship to this world; because kids who are say, 20 and under, they aren’t grieving in the way that the generations who are in their mid to late twenties and beyond are grieving.

And they are able to take high and multiple stimulation in the world - something you are still adjusting to. So if you notice yourselves finding an energy gap with you and your kids right now, just remember you are still connected. You are just going through these intense shifts from very different perspectives, on top of your generational differences.

There is a lot of stress and grief going on for people. And several months ago in a forecast I said to you all 'It isn’t the 80's anymore'. I was kind of joking about it but I was also making a true point. Those of us who remember how life was in the 80s, the 90s and the early 2000s, it is completely different now. And that’s an enormous adjustment to still be coming to terms with and one that is not going to slow down.

So, we are being brought truly into the present as the only place we can find ourselves, even as past energies ride through us to release themselves.

Because even though if you speak to an 80 or a 90-year-old, they will speak to you about the amount of changes they’ve gone through in a lifetime (and I always find that a fascinating conversation), the amount of changes they’ve gone through compared to what our generation is having to go through is rapidly fast.

And we did come through coded with our parents DNA. Yes, we also came through coded with our own soul patterns, but we also came through a family that had existing patterns running which we agreed to try on for size and for growth and healing purposes.

So people’s patterns right now are either going into crisis mode or they are going into liberation mode.

And what’s really important to encourage is liberation mode.

So if you’re watching this and you’re in crisis mode, know that you have to make some changes. And you may immediately come back at me from the comfort of your living room, come back at me on the screen and say, “But Lee, I can’t make any changes.”

And that’s not actually true.

So I’m not saying that your circumstances might not be horrendously stressful for you or the worst situation that you’ve ever been in in your life, but there are ALWAYS small subtle changes we can make. Because the problem is we do run on patterns as humans, which I’ve reminded us many times, and only we can shift the patterns.

The other thing that you might want to ask yourself is, how can you support your body if your mind and your emotions are highly wayward right now? What does your physical body need?

So to the many of you who do have a high nervous system, which will be quite common among the sensitive, look into supplements that you can take that can help calm the nervous system. For example, Magnesium is one that is known to help the nervous system calm down. You can Google this kind of thing and find fairly inexpensive natural supplements online – and these things can and do make a big difference to how you feel.

Supporting the body as much as you support soul, spirit and mind is vital in these times. 

So too can taking time alone be.

But for many of you this month, there will be an ongoing feeling of;

"I have got to change something; I have got to change something".

And part of that is coming from the urgency and the headlessness that you are feeling in the world; because lots of people are spinning off everything that’s going on and the enormous outer changes occuring daily.

This is why last month, in the May Energy Forecast, I focused very specifically on asking you to see how much are you picking up on other people's chaos energies and needs? How much are you picking up on their panic and their fear that they are circulating, that you can’t help be knocked off balance by or be affected by?

So hopefully many of you managed to be more successful with this in the last month, and you managed to voice your opinion. I explained that voicing your opinion is a very powerful thing. It’s something that many of you will have learned to stop doing years ago because you didn’t enjoy being the catalyst for others, or the one that everyone reacted badly to because of your truth being different to the mainstream.

But as I said last month, generally, people are more open now than they were.

So not only will you speaking your truth redirect their energy and attention, you might also help people to start to see and understand things that they perhaps aren’t understanding yet.

Many of you bemoan the fact (I see this online a lot); “Why aren’t people more awake? Why aren’t people more awake?”

If this is your feeling I would suggest then that you need to turn that into “I want to help people wake up.”

So if you think people are asleep to the truth about Fracking, and other actions that are basically destructive to the planet, there is no way around that. There is no politician’s story or payout that can make that a truth to them. Instead, you need to go and work in the areas of educating people to that, or just bring it up in social conversation, rather than fight or be angry at those people for not knowing. Help them to see if you are frustrated at them.

We’re all in this together and yes, we all have our areas of limitation; we all have our blind spots. That’s why we’re a tribe.

We’re one world tribe who has been very successfully divided from each other through cultural programming, and through the control at the top that we’ve all lived under for so long.

And the reason so many of you that are sensitive are finding this time particularly horrifying at moments is because all of this darkness is coming to light.

You only have to look at what’s going on in certain countries and the atrocities that are supposedly 'justifiable' in the name of war or in the name of power.

So as much as these things are going on, you have to remember that the rate at which we are seeing them is very new to us. So if you just spin off out into them and you start panicking about what you’re seeing, you’re just going in to a panic.

If you address the fact that it is an enormous amount for us to take in at the moment, and it IS spinning people out, your panic will have a little more perspective.

But as with any feeling, if you notice you feel fear, go into the fear.
Don’t just go into panic thoughts about it, which is bypassing the emotion and going into the mind.

Really go there with the feeling of the fear..

This is something I said several months ago. If I am feeling afraid about something I am seeing going on in the world, the best thing I can do as a human being is, rather than panic or talk to everyone about it, it is to actually sit there and feel the enormous fear running through my body. Because at a certain point, when you feel these feelings that willingly and deeply, they will pop, and leave you.

You may say, 'well I’m tired of feeling feelings'. To which I would say, then you need to go further down and deeper into the feeling.

And it’s very different, by the way, if you have something physical going on. If you’re feeling drained from a physical illness, that’s a whole other story. Physical illness and limitation can make it harder to feel your spirit, or have enough space in yourself to work with some of these principles.

But there are some of you watching and listening today who are caught in the middle place - hovering between mind and deep feelings.

And that’s the final energy I want to address today: the middle place that we are caught in as a collective right now.

I mentioned earlier that the grief of the past is something that those of us of a certain generation are processing. It is odd to look back, at say the 90s, and go, wow - that was such a different feeling and a way of being.

However, I personally can also look back at the 90s and see that there are things around us now and certain levels of consciousness in conversation, in action and in people’s opening that wasn’t there in the 90s. In the 90's that wider consciousness was just beginning to birth in some ways.

So it’s easy to look at the past and to feel the past in your body and to yearn for it. But remember, perhaps in ten years you will be yearning for this moment in time.

And the reasons I love the teachings of non-duality and people such as Toni Packer or Pema Chodron, who speak about the moment is everything we have, is because what I notice is that when we come back to the present moment, we emanate, our energy re-aligns, and we are no longer stuck in externals.

And it’s not easy for us to let go of externals. So don’t give yourself a hard time about this process we are in - instead, be aware it is occuring and be kind to yourself. Use it to understand why you feel confused at times so you can let confusion be there, without adding a pressure or need to solve confusion.

The spiritual community is a very interesting community because while you would presume that all of those in the spiritual community are aligned, they really are not. And if you really look at this you will see a vast difference in people’s idea of what it is to be spiritual.

So there are some people who want to live outside their body and they choose to live very much in the ether. And they enjoy things like channeling or meditations but they don’t necessarily want to go deeply into their body.

And conversely, there are other people who only want to stay in their body and don’t necessarily want to open their crown chakra, their spirit.

And the meeting point between these two is the perfect place for all of us.
The balance of the two, but grounding that can be more challenging than we presume.
That's the work we are all doing right now - grounding the middle place.

This is a very strange time because even though we are growing in consciousness all of the time, that growth also requires constant death inside us.
So we have to let go of how we felt about something.
We have to let go of how we thought about something.

And when the world is screaming to you; "everything’s a little unsafe, resources are running out, we should panic about this, we should panic about that " if you’re seeing that in your outer world while your inner world is concurrently going, “I don’t know who I am anymore!”, it can be scary.

Unless you plant your feet on the ground, take it day by day, and start going, ok I’m here, I’m breathing. Here’s this moment. THIS is where I am living now.

This is why I always say remember that we could be dead tomorrow, because that truth and unknown to us, helps you come back to you, stop planning and worrying about the future, and come back to now.

You see this very much with people who have been given a terminal illness. They suddenly open up. They suddenly start looking at things that they didn’t have time to look at before. And that’s one of the greatest myths of our current society.

Part of the reason we’re kept so busy right now is it helps distract us from the key issues in place. So our world is designed to keep most of us on the 'hamster wheel'. The hamster wheel of work, activity, and stimulation, all of which can confuse our inner senses.

Maybe the spoken of '1%' that we hear about, aren’t on the hamster wheel or maybe they’re on the hamster wheel too, but in a very different paradigm of reality because of their power and their financial support. Who knows? I don’t know anyone in the 1%, so I can’t speak about that.

But understand that we are in a time where we have to not just go with the flow of everything that’s going on outside us.

Come back to yourself.
Make your own decisions even if they aren't in agreement with the herd.
Take time alone.

Recognize the spiritual-human dance is a constantly moving one. You’re not just living in the ether and you’re not just living in the body. You’re trying to bring more consciousness from the ether down into the body. And as you do that, you are not only moving things for yourself, you’re moving things in past generations on this planet.

So with all of that said, attending to wellness and attending to how you feel is vital. And if you are noticing you feel too 'sped-up', know you need to make some adjustments.
Otherwise you’re just going to get carried away with the fast-moving current.

When you do come back to a sense of 'inner-home', and you do start to do the things that help you slow down and feel calm, you will come back to a place where you go, “Ah, I can breathe”.

Energetically you calming down has a huge effect on everyone around you. So energetically, you will be creating a template of calm that the world really needs at the moment.

So yes, it’s a crazy time and no, it’s not going to slow down, which is why we have to work with our inner selves more than ever.

This period in time was always predicted by my channels as being a 2012 – 2020 journey.

So those of you who are angry and waiting for it to calm down outside, please start working with yourselves; otherwise you’re going to remain angry and that anger is going to fester and you’re going to be brought down.

It’s time to liberate yourself from in here (Lee touches his heart). And it might mean you’re living in a way that you’ve never lived before. But that’s what we’re here for, every single day - to see what’s new and what's possible.

So, in peace and in love to all of you.  I hope you have a good month.

The latest sound recording I did was actually sound healing. It's ten years this month since I began doing this work publicly and I have spent the last ten years working with words to help move energy for others. Recently I’ve forayed into sound healing, which after using words as the energy carrier, has been a joy for me and people have been really enjoying it.

So if you’re interested in experiencing a shift in yourself using sound and tone rather than words, you can check out the trailer for Adventures in Sound here.

Take care everybody and see you next month.

Bye-bye."
