Journey through the Layers of Self ~ by Jenny Schiltz

Posted on September 7, 2016

As some of you know I have been studying to become a shamanic practitioner and in it I have found my home. There is so much value in bringing back all the parts of your soul.  I want to share with you a series of shamanic journeys that I have gone on.


In April, I went on a journey where a tiger came as my guide to take me through the jungle. I rode on his back and we dodged trees at an incredible pace. He led me to the most beautiful castle. It shown bright and sparkly, with towers of gold and glitter. It was as if the jungle had cleared in this spot to allow the sun to shine on it. I asked where we were and the tiger told me it was my mind. Once inside there were separate rooms. Some of the rooms looked bright and cheery but others looked dark and cavernous.


Tiger guided me into one which was a childhood memory of anger, violence and me as a child crumbling to the ground in shock. The next was a room where I was 13 and tried to commit suicide to escape the pain. The next room I was led to was a room of mirrors, and it held all these versions of myself.  It was me at all different ages and stages where I had looked in the mirror and brutalized myself. It was hard to see that this self abuse started young, very young. I stormed out of the room, pissed at the tiger, wanting to know why it all had to be shown again.


He roared a roar and said “Then is it enough?”  Just then a bucket of shit was dumped on me and here I am standing in my mind and shit, literally shit was dumped on me. I was so mad and screamed “STOP!!!!”  And Tiger says “Why? You have done much worse to yourself” I was so angry, but knew he was right. I screamed “ENOUGH! NO MORE! I CAN’T DO THIS ANYMORE!” Just then I grew huge, so huge I grew bigger than the castle and expanded up and outward. It was like Alice in Wonderland. It was amazing, I could feel the expansion taking place. Tiger was by my side the whole time telling me that only I can stop the shit (memories, pain, and self bullying) from being dumped. That is was time.


In July, I went on another journey and this time hyena was my guide. I found myself in the familiar jungle, running side by side with hyena. I see the castle up ahead and it sparkled like before but I was wary. Last time had sent me for a loop. I enter and there were the rooms, but they were dull, almost transparent – even the rooms that sparkled before.  Hyena walks over to a fire pit and asks me if I was really ready to leave it all behind.  I said yes, but asked if the light shiny rooms filled with good memories had to go too. He said that even the good ones hold attachment and expectation. I could remember what I wanted, but did not need to be attached anymore.  I thought this was interesting, but then understood that even good memories were of who I was, not who I am now and there are times that felt I changed and had let others down.  I then followed his lead and lit fire to every room, incinerating all that was there.  It felt so GOOD. I felt free, no longer hostage to the emotions that held me for so, so long.


A few days ago, I felt the need to journey and with some free time, I put on a YouTube shamanic drumming and let my spirit go. I didn’t even have to go to the jungle to begin. This time it was an Indian guide who is helping me with my Shamanic studies. She pulled my hand from the bed and said “Are you ready? I think you are.” I followed her and we were back in my jungle, headed toward the castle. There it was before me, shining bright and beautiful. I went inside curious to see what was left after the fire party. We stepped in and I looked and there was no form to the castle anymore, no roof, no wall, nothing. All I could see was stars, planets, milky ways, and infinity.


I look at my guide surprised and she said “Welcome to who you really are. You are ALL, you only had to move through all that was not you.” I’m still in awe.


I understand now why the greatest task on this journey is LOVE OF SELF. It is the hardest thing to accomplish, but it is how we get through all that is not who we really are.


Sending us all Love as we go through this amazing, transformative time. May we all set fire to what we are not so that we can begin to see who we truly are.  <3

An Akashic Perspective on Enlightenment | Akashic Transformations by Jen Eramith

Another lovely, insightful message about coping with planetary change.  ~PB

An Akashic Perspective on Enlightenment
| Akashic Transformations by Jen Eramith (Excerpt from October 19 - 25, 2014)

An Akashic Perspective on Enlightenment

"As we move through Enlightenment, is it normal to experience big shifts of energy?  Sometimes I feel very high and energized, sometimes I feel very tired and sleepy.  What can we do to work with this energy?  Is there something specific the Keepers would like us to do when this energy is happening?

Yes it is a very normal part of Enlightenment to go through these energetic shifts.  People often think of the idea of Enlightenment as being very wonderful and blissful like you are somehow moving out of the difficulties of human life and into a kind of nirvana experience.  There will be moments that are like that but for the most part, Enlightenment is a difficult process, just like birth.  Birth is a wonderful thing.  It is the source of the pathway to life in this world.  Yet birth is incredibly traumatizing.  It is the death of one way of being and an entrance into an entirely new way of being.  It is the same for the process of Enlightenment.  This process requires that you experience the death of the way you have been, and you step bravely into a way of being that is new at every level of your being.

It is a very common symptom of Enlightenment to find sleep disruptions or energy disruptions.  This will mean that there will be times when you are very energized and creative and expansive.  Sometimes this energy appears jittery and anxious.  There will also be times when you are very tired when you feel as if your mind cannot find a presence here.  You find yourself daydreaming, you sleep a lot, and it is difficult to focus and get things done.

The difficulty in riding the waves between these two forms of energy lies in how much you resist them.  If you try to maintain a linear, regular schedule, you are going to find yourself resisting on either end -- resisting the high energy and therefore experiencing anxiety, or resisting the low energy and therefore experiencing exhaustion.  Instead, if you can be gentle with yourself, gentle with your body, to forgive yourself when you are not focused, then you can accept and harness the bigger energy when it comes along, using it for creative endeavors.  Then you can take those quiet moments and use them for healing.

It will be very useful as you go through Enlightenment to allow yourself long stretches of sleep occasionally.  Sometimes your body will call for it.  Just like a computer that needs to be shut down.  If you keep it running, even though it has been running too long, eventually it will crash and you will lose something in the crash.  Instead, if you regularly close it down by sleeping or daydreaming or giving yourself time that is unstructured, then you will more easily maintain your system.  You will be able to find energy to get things done when it really counts rather than exhausting your energy trying to maintain a schedule that no longer serves you.

There are specific things the Keepers have for each of you to do because each of you has a unique calling in this world.  There is no worldwide calling that is specific to all of you except that moving through Enlightenment only occurs if you are moving toward love.

The universal guideline from the Keepers is that you continue to investigate your personal experience.  Ask yourself whether you are being motivated by love or motivated by fear.  Look at the activities you do, look at the way you think about your life, look at how you make your decisions, look at your relationships, look at everything in your life and ask yourself, "Is this based in fear or is this based in love?"  Even if you are doing something that appears loving, it could be based in fear.  You might be afraid that the other person will leave you or afraid that they will not like you, so you do loving things.  If that loving action is based in fear, you are resisting your own Enlightenment.  You are holding onto patterns that will inevitably hold you back.

Keep looking for fear, things that motivate you that you are afraid of and find ways to eliminate those.  Find the things that you love and move toward those.  You will find that there is a natural flow and a natural rhythm in your life as you follow the lines of love that open up for you rather than trying to make things better by operating out of fear.

It seems the more we do to bring light and love to the planet, the more negative things happen.  I know light and darkness go hand-in-hand, but do they both get bigger as we move through Enlightenment?  How can I react to and feel better about the negative things happening in the world right now?

You can think about the pendulum swinging between light and darkness at this time and that is an accurate image or an accurate model for how this time on Planet Earth is occurring, but we're going to offer a slightly different image that can give you something more to work with which is this.  Instead of imagining yourself wildly swinging from the light to the dark, think of the Enlightenment process as an onion peeling down to the deepest core.  An onion is nourishing, and an onion has chemicals that makes your eyes water, that could make you uncomfortable.  In the same way, as you unpeel an onion you are accessing more nourishment in the form of light, love and material to be healed.  However, the process of unpeeling uncovers layers of things that have been held secret, of trauma that was held deep within your psyche, and this causes great discomfort..."

The Sunlit Zone

To help us understand the current collective energies, I was shown an image in my mind's eye.  Pictures tell a thousand words as they say so I searched online until I found the closest match:

 

Source: Kiran's Science Fair 

I found the above pic and thought bingo! Not only is it a visual match, but the words and meaning are perfect.  This image shows the five zones of ocean water, depicting the different layers according to how much sunlight each layer receives.  The top layer is the Sunlit Zone which gets the most sunlight. The Twilight Zone gets very little sunlight, while the Dark Zone at the bottom of the ocean receives no sunlight although there is some light from the creatures that swim there - and many surprisingly do!. The Abyss is the very bottom - no light, and a lot of water pressure. The Trenches refer to the cracks in the Earth's crust - trenches and canyons. Despite the total lack of light, life including starfish can be found there.

 

This very basic description of the different layers of the ocean, feels to most adequately describe the strong, contrasting energetic layers playing out globally and personally right now.  Just as all of these layers exist in the ocean, so too they exist on the world stage, and within us. They exist as non-visible, non-physical vibrational waves around us. They exist on the levels of our thoughts and emotions.

In each moment, we choose which layer of the waves to swim in. We make our choice via every thought we think. We make our choice via the daily decisions we make: the relationships we engage in, the news sources we reach and watch, the activities we participate in, the foods we eat, the work we do, the environment we spend our time in and so on.

Just as we choose which layer of the waves to spend most of our time in, that wave layer influences us the more time we spend there. This is common logic: Spend time with happy people, you're going to feel happy. Spend time with fearful people you're going to feel more fearful. If your current overall vibration is a match to that frequency layer, then that layer will heighten, intensify and expand whatever emotional story/belief/vibration you are holding. If your overall vibration isn't in alignment with a particular frequency layer, you will find it very hard to be in that particular layer and will swim like a fish up or down to some other layer where you feel more comfortable.

Right now, all these layers within us, and on the collective stage, are being lit up like a Christmas tree. Every layer is wanting our attention, and has an almost magnetic pull, drawing 'like' energies toward it.  Down in the Dark Zone and the Abyss, fear is triggering fear, violence is triggering violence, and ancient wounds are triggering ancient wounds. In those zones it feels like the end of the world is here swirling around in a whirlpool of chaos, control and madness.

On the other end of the spectrum, up in the Sunlit zone, there is a feeling of something new emerging. There is a deeper richness and more emotional connection in relationships - be they family, friends, partners, colleagues or people you barely know or don't even know. There is a deeper sense of connection with your own self. At the same time that there is a lot of density playing out on the world stage, there is simultaneously an increased feeling of lightness and consciousness being experienced all over the world that is undeniable.

The majority of people feel to be in the Twilight Zone most of the time. We divide our time between feeling good and feeling bad. We have hope then we sink into fear. We strive for the light, then get pulled down into the murky depths by some inner doubt or external event.

It seems that the darker and denser the layer, the more power it seemingly has to determine the collective focus and conversation. Yet, we can't possibly have come here to get sucked into that vortex. Nor have we come here to live in the yo-yo roller-coaster of the Twilight Zone.  For life to continue and not just continue but to evolve and thrive, we need to lift our game and swim on up to the Sunlit Zone. This isn't an indulgence to feel guilty about when so many are suffering. It is our sacred duty and responsibility to live in the Sunlit Zone whenever possible.

Now, I am the first to say that I love scuba-diving into the Abyss to collect energetic information. Just like the Ocean, there is value to be found there.  Our shadow, and all that we have swept under the carpets, is in these bottom layers. There is so much strength and healing gained from exploring these layers, yet it naturally brings up our fears. The chaos we are seeing globally is in part our collective shadow being revealed. 

A scuba diver gets their deep water gear on, explores a canyon, then heads up to the surface. The archeological excavations you encounter on deep sea dives are profound, but - for humanity anyway - it is not a place to live or swim in for too long.  It is unsustainable. Just as plants grow toward the light, so too humanity's growth is geared to heading toward the light. As much as many fear we are heading into a dark future, it is not possible at this stage of our evolution. We are seeing the darkness and violence clearer because of our light. We are experiencing our feelings more intensely, because of the light. We are experiencing uncomfortable emotional responses to the discord because of our light. The 'darkness' is thick like tar, and loud, and so it feels like it is the majority energy on the planet. However, it is not. The light that exists on this planet, and within us all, is now the predominant energy and it will prevail. In the meantime it will also continue to expose and reveal all that lies in the bottom shadow layers, and thus continue to challenge us with how confronting that looks and feels.

If we have one fault, it is our tendency to so easily get sucked down into the bottom layers and live from those spaces as if they are our 'real' and ruling reality. This not only does not serve us, but we do not serve those layers by living down there.  I am not advocating to stick our heads in the sand. If anything, being in the Twilight Zone and Dark Zone of focusing so much on the 'darkness' and the 'fear' (consciously speaking, not referring to our beautiful ocean), is akin to sticking our heads in the sand. We cannot see clearly from those layers where fear, doubt, worry, violence, chaos and control rule the roost. From the Sunlit Zone we can see and listen clearly, we can act ethically and powerfully.

From this space, we can smile at someone who looks different, or dresses differently, or has different lifestyle choices, instead of hurling abuse. We can switch off from news that 'feels' like blatant disinformation or fear-mongering. We can do as much good as we can, in any way we can, when we can.


Think from the Sunlit Zone. Act from the Sunlit Zone. Visualise from the Sunlit Zone.


Onward!


Love Dana

Soulstice Rising: Ascension Notes Lion's Gate 2014 - 8/7/2014 by Kara Schallock www.soulsticerising.com/newsletter.asp

Soulstice Rising: Ascension Notes
Lion's Gate 2014 - 8/7/2014
by Kara Schallock
www.soulsticerising.com/newsletter.asp

We have been preparing for another Lion’s Gate. Energies have been pretty wild, tossing us to and fro. We have had to be grounded and centered like a tree with roots going deep into the Earth, while our branches sway fluidly in the wind. This Gateway will begin August 8 and culminate August 25. What will accentuate the Power of this is the super Moon of August 10. So what is this Gateway about? It is Alcyone, Source Mother, pouring Her Love through the cosmos to enter us and Gaia. The energies may feel rather intense so if there are deep hidden old energies still within you, they will be revealed. Many may feel tossed about, so be the mighty Oak.

This is another step in our Purification, allowing our crystalline (clear) Truth to emerge more strongly. After the Lion’s Gate, we will continue to evolve and shift, yet the Gateway is most intense between August 8 and 25. Remember that you already have within you what needs to be empowered and lived. This energy is about bringing your grandness out of the closet…to live your life as an ascended master. It takes knowing Who you are and being Who you are step by step. Go slow and if an old inadequate tape comes up, release it and take a step forward in your Power. This is the next phase (of many) where we each move more securely into being ascended masters on Earth.

This is a great moment of transformation in which we have been working. So there, more than likely, will be many more changes and whatever is occurring in your life, be it welcomed or rejected, will manifest for your highest evolution. Many will make a change in their missions and if you are one who is or will experience something that you do not like, don’t resist it and take a step out of the drama. Always look below the surface and ask to see the pattern, old energy or belief that wants to be freed. If it is that you feel victimized in that you perceive something is done to you, release any and all victim energy. For victim energy tells you that you are powerless and that life happens to you without your consent.

Because we are all One, whatever you think and feel touches and affects all others. So this grand Purification will put you on notice to keep your vibration high by keeping your thoughts and feelings high. If by chance you experience negativity, move quickly through it. It helps to be the Compassionate Observer so that you can observe without emotion what is going on. Any time you react to something, you create resistance and continue to manifest things that you do not want. If you are fearful, you will create more situations to be fearful of. If you are angry, you will create more situations to be angry about…until you release the energy of the emotion.

Remember, you are a sovereign spiritual being. This means you are responsible for all in your life (for your highest growth and evolution…not for blame or guilt) and you can choose how you want to live…once you free yourself of being a victim. You can regulate your life by choosing how fast or slow you want to go. You can choose how you want to perceive life events and how you feel. This is quite different from the past, is it not, when we were subjected to the world “out there” telling us how to be and what to do? And this Lion’s Gate helps you choose.

You can flow or you can struggle. It is up to you. I can tell you though that it is so much easier to flow. Flowing is being in the Moment, in Acceptance of what is and you notice then that releasing becomes effortless, for you let go of the stranglehold you have on life. You let go of control; you allow. And all the while, you choose. That may sound contradictory. It isn’t and is how the New is. You create by letting go and surrendering, ever watchful of what needs to be let go of and what direction to go in based on feeling. No need to figure anything out or make something happen, for that is ego-control. Be led by your Soul. You already are being carried by Grace. Keep it simple and loving.

As you allow yourself to be moved forward (think of floating on a river), you relax and thus can see more clearly what change must be made. Once in a while you might run into an eddy or a branch. That’s O.K. Just remove it and continue your forward momentum. “Row row row your boat gently down the stream, merrily merrily merrily life is but a dream.”

You might see the destruction, be it a personal loss or global event, yet know it is transformation nevertheless. All is merely a perception. And your perceptions can help you see what you still hold within that wants to be transformed to Love and Divine Order. So each time you have a judgment, know it is a perception that leads you to an old or New truth. Take a look at what you judge. Is it the government, the homeless, a culture, a person, an action?...all perceptions. The New pushes up and out the old. Then you have a choice, based on how you want to feel, to make about whatever is occurring. How do you feel when you are in judgment? How do you feel when you are in Acceptance of what is? How do you want to feel? And remember that how you feel radiates out to all others. What are you creating? If you find yourself feeling something you’d rather not, transform it using the Sacred Rose or Violet Flame. And remember that things happen in layers. So while you thought you had released something only to find it again later, this is why. It is the same with becoming crystalline and New. It happens step by step, layer by layer. Think of a Rose. The inner core (Coeur=heart) pushes a petal open one by one. And as you purify your life, you help purify others’ lives as well…with no expectation of how it looks or the outcome, for all have a choice.

The Light that flows in on undulating wave after wave will affect everyone and everything. Not only will it shake up and out remnants of what hasn’t been released and what isn’t Love; it will expand you in a huge way. Your energy field will become electric, your physical body will go through more changes and of course, your life will reflect these changes. As you receive the light, release it into the Earth. Use Earthing so that you do not feel as though you will explode because you’re holding so much Light. You might also feel very amped up and receive/give small electric shocks. Know that your electric system is being recharged and upgraded. Let the Light flow through you. Being in Nature helps, as does doing something creative. In fact, that is what the energy is for…to create.

One of the main energies with the Lion’s Gate is Freedom and with Freedom comes magical solutions and guidance. The way to truly access this is by being open and positive to receive and absolutely knowing that you are ready and truly are Divine. If, however, you aren’t ready and don’t believe that anything is possible, this could be a challenging time. And through any challenge there is an opportunity to see and know who you truly are. Be aware that if you focus on challenge, there will be much duality that surfaces for the sole purpose of releasing and aligning yourself with Love and with Soul, or rather, as Love and as Soul. If you find you are in an ego-battle, bring your ego close to you and hug him/her and assure ego that this is all wonderful and that there is nothing to fear; just as you would comfort a small child.

So, on August 8 hold the desire and intention to receive this blessing. Open up and receive with no hesitation and with Expectancy of receiving a huge download of Divine Love. Stay out of any negativity and be all that you truly are. (Be aware too that you may do this each day between the 8th and the 25th.)
