I hope today has been a wonderful day for you thus far.

I would like to discuss the internet and potential dangers you need to be aware of. We all think of the internet as a technological convenience and some like myself can’t live with out it for more than a couple of days. Most of the time we email, partake in social networking and play some games all without incident. You still need to be aware that as an empath or HSP (highly sensitive person) that you can also connect to people through innocent communications. Email, chat, websites, social networking sites, and even phone calls and mobile text messages.

It happens the same way as it does when you are simply thinking about someone and connect to them. Thought is a powerful thing, especially for an energy sensitive person. How and if it happens also depends on where you are at vibration wise. Are your vibrations low from negative self talk or negative emotions in general? If they are low then you have to remember that you will attract like vibrations. If your vibrations are in a good place then you will be less likely to attract that connection which may leave you feeling drained and powerless.

The best way to protect yourself is to ground and protect every day. It is also helpful to get into the habit of protecting yourself, your computer and your space before having that internet time. Place a bubble of protection large enough to include your computer and space around you with the intention that you will be fully protected from anything that might be harmful to you now or in the future. So, if you haven’t done so already brush up on your protection skills.

If you do find yourself connected to some one or feeling as though you are under a psychic attack remember a few key things:

-Nothing can hurt you unless you believe that it can
-Daily use of protection before computer use will help keep you safe
-Learn to technique of cutting cords through visualization
-Ask for help when you need it because your spirit helpers, Yeshua, God can not help you unless you ask because of the Law of Freewill

Show respect to God/source by protecting the very thing that he has given you that is most precious…your SELF.

Dealing With The Present Energies and Higher Vibrations

a message from Yeshua channeled by Sherry Andrea
Monday, 14 December, 2009

The energy you are feeling are the ships coming through and into your Earth space. There are more than your Ones can imagine and if they were viewable by you it would be a sight that would put you in awe of the event.

Although you have practiced energy work for some time your knowledge does not allow you the understanding needed to fully comprehend the reasons why you feel such strong energy. Just as you often do not understand overloads of energy you feel that are related to upcoming events. The knowledge and understanding will come in time. Be patient and kind with yourself, as others should do as well.

I feel there is more to what I am feeling that just ship coming into the Earths space?

We are closer. It is true what you are thinking and trying to discern from the energy you feel. It is more than just the ships entering your Earths atmosphere. It is who are on the ships. Beings with such high vibrations. Beings who have never been in your space, or at least not for such a length of time, because previously the Earths vibrations would not allow us to enter. You understand this well from your studies. You are correct. You are not accustomed to feeling beings present which vibrations such as they carry. Some of you Ones act as a barometer in the way you sense changes in energy and vibration. This is something you Ones should all develop more. The highly sensitive Ones are more impacted however.

What should you do when feeling this energy increase?

Breathe. Drink more water. You know this and we see you attempting to remember to do this on a daily basis. Some time you do well although consistency is not there. The broccoli you bought today…I am sure you surprised yourself when you felt the strong urge to buy it and sensed the taste of it in your mouth urging you further and you found yourself wanting it. Give your higher self more opportunities to guide you and you shall do well.

Don’t feel as though you are fighting the feel of the increase in energy you sense. Allow yourself to adjust to it as though it were very normal. It will help you in future times to come.

Continue meditation and clearing of your mind to stillness. Continue being aware of and balancing your chakras. Spend more time with your art, things that bring you joy and much laughter.

You are all doing well. Don’t stop now, you are on the track going full speed ahead and the way is clear.

Yeshua

Falling Into the New World
December 8, 2009

Welcome!

I have been writing WINGS and What’s Up On Planet Earth? postings for perhaps eight years now, and all the while knowing and feeling my true purpose. In this way, I have always felt connected and in my true and authentic groove. At one point, as some of you may remember, I took a personal hiatus, as I knew my endeavors would now be changing, and came back with WINGS in order to assist and validate this changing of purpose that was indeed becoming evident for all of us. I did not regret it for one moment, as I knew that my purpose then, was not yet complete in all ways.

This transition from our old roles relating to the ascension process, to now creating free and clear in a new reality, resulted in many of you becoming completely free from your old roles in order to move ahead into a very new experience. It was my soul purpose at that time, to stay with the ship until each and every one of you had gotten into your lifeboats and arrived on shore. Thus, I was required to remain on the ship until the very last soul had departed, before I could then get into my own lifeboat, and place my feet upon my very new shore. This time has finally arrived for me.

I now get to take a time of separation from my old role, before I begin my own new endeavors and my new life….this total and complete separation I am needing in so many ways (I need some R & R!), as I finally get into my own lifeboat, in order to restore or rather strengthen within me, my true and authentic self. In this way, I will be taking time off from writing to spend some time with myself simply having fun, playing, and enjoying life (and visiting my daughter and grandchildren as well) until the first part of January, 2010. Along with some very new endeavors, will I continue with WINGS? Oh, it seems I always do, but they will most likely return with a new and different slant relating to where we are now. Before I part for awhile, I am excited to offer you this last WINGS post, as it will hopefully bring together once again, what many of you already know and are now experiencing. Happy reading, and I look forward to meeting with you once again in the new year!

The ascension experience created so many things, within and without, that we gradually came to learn and know a different way of being. Just writing the word “ascension” seems so strange and out of date for me now, and I almost wonder if it was ever even real at all.

The ascension experience and plan was indeed created by ourselves at our soul levels. This fact alone, brought us together as one massive whole, thus creating in tandem, all the twists and turns as we came to experience them as one, all at the same time. In this way, we came together and felt together, we were oh so united, and we knew at our core, that something monumental was occurring, if even at times only at our soul levels.

In addition, the ascension plan always served to over-ride all other levels of creation, as it ran very high. For example, many of us were guided to move to specific geographical areas, or even found that we were simply unable to leave specific geographical areas, even though we may have had a strong desire to do so. We may have found ourselves in places of darkness, unable to get out, as at our soul levels we willingly agreed to assist the planet with the ascension process. Thus, it was never about attracting darkness because we had “issues” or the like, but simply because we were doing our jobs in regard to ascension. This is why our bags of familiar tools never worked in some instances.

Many of us gained weight during this time, and no matter what we did, we absolutely could not get it off, as we had agreed, again as a whole, to hold more light in order to improve our attempts to raise the vibration of the planet (I recently lost 30 pounds and am now back to my normal weight… another evident example that we are now done). We lost our jobs, our relationships, our loved ones, and much else, with seemingly no control over these situations as they were occurring at our soul levels and all because of the ascension process.

Oh, the ascension process….and how it seemingly took away our normal powers of creation and experience, as it took the helm of anything and everything. Normal spiritual practice, such as perhaps believing that we are always right where we need to be and never “going” anywhere, was even hard to integrate into this ascension process of “going somewhere” (even though we “got there” by of course not trying to go there! Are we there yet, are we there yet?), and even allowing the freedom to create whatever we chose as our personal experience was seemingly hindered by the fact that this “whole” created by the ascension process was anything but individual.

Taking all this into account, after many years of finally understanding the process and what it created, we also got used to having our hands tied to some degree. When many of us really “got” what was going on, we then, as loving and devoted spiritual beings, got on board to support our process. In this way, we became used to a very different way of being and living, and it was very much about ascension, as it ruled our roost and dictated our movements. It answered many questions and soothed our confusion, as after all, this process did not remotely fit in with much of what we knew about spiritual practice and creating, or utilizing energy in an individual way. So all in all, our freedoms at lower levels were affected in many, many ways.

Now it is all over. Over, over, over. We are done with the first phase of the ascension process. And being that it did not work anyway in regard to taking the entire planet with us, we are now completely free and clear.

This places us in a very different space than we have ever been in, in this particular lifetime. Up until now, our soul focus was ascension. Even from birth, as we chose challenging paths and dark situations in order to transmute these energies though ourselves, we have been on that ascension road for a very long time. “I always knew I was here for a particular purpose, but I just cannot remember what it is!” was a familiar mantra that many of us had in the beginning stages. Now many of us have come to know and remember that very real purpose.

The earth was created as a place for creating and experiencing. This is the highest level and most pristine purpose of our existence in this universe (and of course, just loving everyone and everything is coming more to the forefront now than ever before). The ascension process came under that umbrella, as we decided to play a game and experience it for something to do before we left the universe for good (we get to experience a very new universe when we are done, so there is never really an “end.”) The plan is really not over yet, as the only real change was that we were not able to take the entire planet with us. So even though we may feel a failure to some degree, as we are all angels at our core and dearly love every living thing on this Earth, we are none-the-less still able to continue on with phase two of the plan…creating the New Earth, and also, assisting those who have newly arrived at the dimensional border. (Those who chose to “cross over,” are very different than those in the other world that we left behind, in regard to requesting assistance with their process. So in this way, our services will still be needed, as they will be asked for and revered.)

So now, here we are in a very new space. So in this way, of course we may be feeling lost, confused, not particularly secure with things, perhaps having an identity crisis, or even wondering where the foundation under our feet has gone. In addition, we are no longer being guided, dictated to, placed (seemingly without our permission) within experiences created by our souls who were creating the ascension process, nor are we in our usual grooves. We are now in wide open territory on a completely blank canvas. We are very free, and it is precisely this freedom that is making many of us uncomfortable.

I remember hearing a story once about a dog who had been on a short chain in his yard for many years. One day he was forever freed to roam, and he just could not handle this new freedom, as it was so very different for him. Inmates who have been imprisoned for a very long time, have a very difficult time when they are released, and many proceed to commit another crime so that they can return to the familiar territory of what they have been accustomed to for so very long. This is all human (or dog!) nature. We are still human beings. We are used to structure. Even the cosmos has structure. Most of us are pretty darned savvy, and certainly are not really in the same space as the examples mentioned above, but our sudden change of internal programming can still take some getting used to, as well as a “soul recovery” process being warranted. So then, we are now in the process of identifying what we want that new structure to look like, and how and what we want to create, along with some of us still requesting a recovery time to simply just hang out and play for awhile. Because of all this sudden change at our soul levels, and because of the ending of a very intense but important phase, many of us are going to feel off balance, empty, and rolling around with no clear sense of direction.

Most recently, the earth moved itself into a very new groove in the cosmos. This created very dramatic surges of pushing energy for awhile, but when this phase was complete, we then felt a very new grounding and settling in. After this movement, things felt calm, serene, like we were home, and that perhaps we could now relax for a time. But we are still aligning in other ways. Even though the earth is now in that new groove or position, she is still “tilting.” This tilting is part of restoring a new balance. The tilting of the earth results then, in feelings of being off-balance from time to time, or even that things are going smoothly, and then they suddenly feel very “off.” This tilting creates an energy of “up, down, up, down.”

Through-out this process of tilting, a settling in or shifting naturally occurs as well. In this way then, the beginning manifestations and feelings resulting from the tilting slowly dissipate over time, as we become more and more settled within our new energetic spaces. This settling in and shifting process will also create and strengthen our new connections to whom and what we will be doing, being, and creating on the New Planet Earth. In this way, in time, we will not be losing our equilibrium so much. With all of these adjustments and new balancing acts going on, it is no wonder that we may experience feelings of no sense of place! But through it all, we will naturally gravitate to where we belong, and to what feels comfortable to each and every one of us.

Currently, there is an energy of fear running through-out, as so many souls are feeling lost and thrown about, with little or no security. When this occurs, strong opinions abound as an attempt to hold onto something. Where we currently are in regard to our energetic status, reminds me of the time during our most recent presidential elections here in the US. There were so many opinions and strong feelings, that it became challenging for me to read my mail. The same is going on now, with a new surge of attacking voices arriving in my boxes, with strong opinions of how things really and truly are, and how and why I am wrong, along with personal attacks and highly inappropriate advice and assessments in regard to the personal information I choose to share (some opinions are loving as well, but they are still most certainly opinions). One correspondence will strongly state one thing on a specific subject, and the very next correspondence will state the complete opposite on that very subject. People are viewing things from their own individual filters of perception.

In Stepping Into the New Reality, I mention much about the filters that each of us sees reality through. Filters are always much more dense than higher levels of being, and opinions are in the same league. Because we are now moving into our new stage of contributing our own unique purpose and stamp to create a new reality, our filters then, are very much in place in regard to who we are and what we are about. Much else within us has been spun off through the ascension process. We only need utilize these filters, or contributions, at appropriate times. And most, most, importantly, these contributions or individual purposes need to fit within a structure or whole and utilized together with others, if we are to successfully create a very new reality. Right now, with the fear creating a strong hold for so many, this has yet to occur, but it is just a phase we are going through, and it will pass if we are the wise souls that I believe we truly are. But know as well, that there are also many of you who are very content right now being in the eye of the storm and simply floating right where you are. Our choices and experiences are vast and different, all creating a beautiful and amazing mosaic of a perfectly orchestrated energy grid.

So now, we are in the space of no space, and also experiencing the ups and downs created by the tilting of the earth. It reminds me of an individual I know who recently ended her marriage, and is now in that space where her “new” has not yet arrived. Moving out of her marriage was a great step for her, in order to allow her to move forward. But she tells me that she has to continually be vigilant about staying out of the old, as she and her husband are very good friends now, and it can be easy to for her to fall back into that old groove.

Do we go back into the old, while we are still in the space of no space? Is that what we need to do in order to feel good? The discomfort many of us are feeling, stems from the fact that we are out of the old, but not yet into the new. We are still in the no space as things are still settling in and shifting.

We are indeed the rightful creators of the New Planet Earth. If we do indeed have new roles, being the rightful creators of the new Planet Earth are these new roles. There are no rules, guidelines, or frameworks yet in place that we had begun to become used to with the ascension process. I was telling a friend the other day, that this is like December 25th arriving, only we just found out that there is no more Christmas, that there never was, and we now get to create something very new and different to take its place, or maybe not even create anything at all. We get to go to the highest heights of our imaginations and create whatever makes our hearts sing.

The palette is blank and empty. We have evolved enough, that we need no guidance to create on this palette. We are now our prior guides. We are holding so much light now, that we can trust that we will create something magnificent and wonderful, something that fits each of us to a tee, and know as well, that it will absolutely come about. We can utilize our own guidance, as we now have carte blanch and the free will to make it happen. If we created the ascension process, then we can also create something new and different. We are such powerful creators, that we even knew enough to change the ascension plan and tweak it a little, as it was not working like we had hoped and intended. We are indeed very powerful, and we are indeed at the helm. Perhaps we just need to restore our confidence, as the change of ascension plan that occurred in September threw us a bit off balance. But again, we knew enough to save ourselves, and we knew enough to continue on with the original next phase, if even with a fewer amount of souls on board.

I believe that some of us are still stuck in old spiritual practice, and also, still a bit in our old molds from the ascension process. New spiritual practice is all about being happy, joyful, and peaceful, under the new umbrella of creation and experience (now that the first level of ascension is over)….meaning that these feelings and emotions can be experienced and created in a vast array of scenarios, all depending upon who we are and the filters that we run our energy through. There is absolutely no right or wrong. In this way, there will be many, many variations present and at many differing levels of vibration.

In addition, another new and important role is coming to the forefront as well (I guess I wouldn’t exactly call it a “role”). With so much change and up and down energy now present, which can really hit us hard, we very naturally crave the feel good energy of love. With so much going on at times, it does not even matter what groove anyone is in, where we are in any so-called plan, or even what things are looking like. Above all of this is the energy of love, and this connects us no matter who, what, or where any particular situation is. As someone recently told me, love is the simplified version of our true purpose, and indeed it is.

This pronounced experience of giving and receiving love is really going to take over now as never before, as we have evolved to a much higher vibrating state of being. So even though things may get rocky, feel dark one day and light the next, and make us feel bi-polar at times, the love energy always serves to keep us steady, as it can never be affected. This is indeed the energy that over-rides all else. It does not really matter then, what our individual purpose is, or how we can help another, when all we really need do is simply love each other. We will find in times to come, that extreme feelings and actions of love and caring will emit from us like never before, and for me, this is when I indeed feel the best and in the most alignment of all. The energy of love will come to the fore-front like never before in times to come. This is indeed an integral part of our new space.

The umbrella energies then: Experiencing, creating, and loving.

All said, in some strange ways, we are still recovering from the ascension process. We are now very slowly and surely, undoing some of its effects in regard to trust, confusion, guidance, confidence, and most importantly, owning our new power once again. We need to restore our true and rightful power and feel good once again. We need to recover our dignity and grace, as the ascension process really socked it to us (not only with the change of plan, but with the past two to three years placing us in darker and more challenging spaces than we had been in for quite some time). We need to allow ourselves the precious time to allow this to happen…to align once again with our true and authentic selves before we begin creating the New World and before we begin assisting others who are on the dimensional border, attempting to arrive where we now are.

We need to come to realize that this is a new era now. We are now in a very new space of freely creating once again, and none of our new creations have to do with the ascension plan and its seemingly strange and confining rules. We can have positive and enlightening visions once again, and we can know that this time, they will indeed come about. And for our brothers and sisters, or others who have crossed over and are just beginning their process of awakening, aligning and ascending, we can offer them great love and caring, as this alone will be a purpose we will embody like never before as we lovingly watch and allow them their experience.

With much love and gratitude,

Karen

The Dawn Breaks…A New Day Finally Arrives

September 28, 2009

Welcome!

With Mercury going forward once again, the final piece of our new arrival is finally in place. And with this event, we will see much more of a forward movement and a secure locking in of our very new spaces.

This means no more waking up pre-dawn, at 3:00 a.m., 4:00 a.m., or 5:00 a.m. and unable to go back to sleep! For many of us, we will finally be able to sleep through an entire night! We are removed from the higher realities, or what occurs in dream state, at certain intervals during the ascension process, as much is going on at these levels, and we need to be clear and removed while things are re-calibrating and being put into place. Thus, we may fall asleep comfortably, but continue to wake up precisely at the same time each morning, with an inability to go back again. It is all part of the process of moving forward.

As our disconnections have occurred in their entirety, and our new spaces finally and completely prepared, we need now only step into them with all of our being. Who will be alongside of us now? Who and what has “made the cut,” and is now residing where we are residing? (A brief note to forerunners: There are fewer souls at your level, as you are the ones forging very, very new territory, but rest assured, you will connect with your partners none-the-less.)

Individuals and energies who have assisted in bringing forth our new places and spaces, may suddenly depart, as their role was in assisting us to get where we needed to be, and now they will depart for their rightful and true spaces, if even no longer in ours. On this note, this final anchoring in will herald the new way in regard to the earth angels as the official caretakers of the planet. In times past, we assisted in bringing up the vibration of the planet, left for a new reality of our making, and now we will absolutely and unequivacably be at the helm, in control, and able to create without resistance and challenge, a very new earth within our very new reality. There will now be a distinct changing of the guard in regard to who or what is now in our new spaces.

Many are reporting sudden arrivals of new money. Whether in the form of inheritances, early retirements, gifts, or the like, these new sources of income will assist in placing many of us right where we need to be. These gifts from above, are supporting us in being where we need to be, creating our new release and new freedom, so that we can now completely anchor into our very new spaces. Like sudden synchronicities from above, we can know that all is in divine and perfect order as we are being supported as never before in strange and miraculous ways.

And yet some are still feeling stuck in between. Feeling stuck can occur when we have not yet been willing to really let go of what we need to let go of. If we are still hanging on to things, we will be placed in the energy of the old, where we no longer live and vibrate, and this can feel very uncomfortable at best. Another way to get “un-stuck” is to stay in positive thinking. To identify and envision what we really and truly want for ourselves in all ways, and know it will finally be arriving very soon. Going back to the old, no matter where we are now residing, can feel downright awful. We cannot go back, as the lower rungs are simply far too dense, and at this point, will feel like a reality where we simply no longer belong…somewhere from a distant past that belongs to someone else. And it can even make us feel ill and decaying.

With this new movement, rapid heartbeat can occur once again, as the energies are moving, and feelings of hyperventilating can occur as well. Before we arrived in this space, in weeks past, we may have experienced a definite squeezing, as though we were trying to push some density through a tight hole. This manifested as headaches, severe allergies, body pain, and an overall feeling of barely being able to move around. This has now passed, and feeling lighter, with perhaps lots of energy moving around in the head area, and even weight loss that actually stays off for a change, can be common symptoms as well. I have been thrilled to have lost 25 pounds in the past few months, and it is finally staying off, restoring me to my normal and familiar weight before the ascension process began.

As we begin to arrive in these very new spaces, we will also begin to connect with new people as well. Having lost so many with the advent of the separation of the worlds, we will now connect with very new families who will be right for us in every way. Some will be at lower rungs of the vibrational ladder than we may be, but will be needed in arenas where we need to establish our store-fronts. Others may be on higher rungs, but will be needed to guide and assist us. It does not matter what rung, as we will all connect in relation to where our energy overlaps, or what we have in common, and seeing the divinity in each and every face, is all that is ever needed.

Feelings of insecurity that we may have experienced in the past, due to having no sense of place and a loss of our old identity, will now cease to a large degree…thank goodness! With the advent of very new roles, perhaps new geographical residences, and new brothers and sisters to mingle with, things will now feel back to normal, if even a very new normal.

Most recently, and in times to come, energy shifts will arrive in big bangs. Like a missile hitting dense targets, we will feel big shake-ups for no apparent reason, and they will most likely not affect us at all. We are simply feeling the shake-ups that are occurring in the old world and old reality….a place where we no longer reside. These big bangs are like bombs going off behind a closed door, as although we may feel their impact in an indirect way, we will not be able to see and experience what they are creating, as we will be in another world entirely.

So although we will now have the world at our fingertips, becoming too giddy, focusing too much on having our own way and thinking it is all about us and what we want, will only serve to activate immense ego energy within, and defeat the purpose of the ascension process and all it has created up until now. Over and over I have seen this pattern…”Wow! My book has finally been published! Yipeee! Things are finally going my way! I got my new land! I bought a new house! I’m finally back on track and happy again!”

Yes, of course we are supposed to be happy. And yes, we are supposed to be able to create what we want. But what the ascension process creates, is a loss of our density within, or our ego states. So as we progress ever forward expanding and growing in consciousness, what we may have wanted to create in the past, no longer fits where and who we are now. This is why we are frequently blocked with the ascension process in regard to creating, as what we may have wanted to create at one time, no longer fits and we would simply have to undo our new creations, or back out and go somewhere else.

As we expand and evolve, we begin to notice what is around us, and most importantly, who is around us. Thus, it is not about us and what we want for ourselves, but much more about how we now fit into the whole. What do we desire to create, that fits into the whole and serves to support the whole? And know as well, that having large swings in mood in regard to being blissfully happy and joyous as everything is going our way one minute, and down and depressed because nothing is happening for us, are signs as well that our egos are running the show.

Stay centered with your new creations. Remember what the ascension process has taught us. Remember that suffering always serves to connect us to a higher place and to our source, as well as bringing us together. Know that we are always where we need to be, no matter what that looks like. Remember that there is no good, bad, right, or wrong, but only source within us at any given moment. And remember as well, to notice who is by your side, who has helped you the most, and who is in your new space, while you revere and honor their creations as well…as they are very much a part of your very new reality and will serve to sustain you in all ways.

With much love and gratitude,
Karen

Many of you many know what a pendulum is and many of you may not. The American Heritage Dictionary defines a pendulum as a body suspended from a fixed support so that it swings back and forth freely under the influence of gravity. I giggle a little bit regarding the influence being listed as only gravity. I would like to define the pendulum as a tool which can be utilized by anyone, regardless of their metaphysical abilities, as a means of communication with spirit, including our higher self, as well as a tool which can be used for other things such as finding water, blocked chakras and the location of medical issues within the body. The pendulum can easily be influenced by our strong feelings of what the truth is or may be. Just as you need to keep a clear head and complete focus on the question and not the answer when using other tools, such as tarot cards, so must you do the same when using the pendulum else your thoughts will influence the answer.

The pendulum is a body suspended from a fixed support which can be almost anything such as a string, chain or the like. It is important to remember that the tool itself does not have power but it is its connection to us or I should say our influence that gives it power. You will hopefully understand that statement by the end of this article and have a better understanding of how to view tools in general and their use. The pendulum can be made up of almost any materials although some people who utilize them eventually have a preference. It can be made up of thread hanging from a needle, your key and key chain, a necklace you happen to be wearing, etc. Why? Well it helps to ask that question since we will be discussing using your body as a pendulum so that you will understand why the body can work as a pendulum. The why is because it is not the pendulum moving its self or even some outside force or your spirit guides hand dictating the movement. It is the energy and vibrations coming through your own body. I will use the clairsentient as an example to make this clearer. As a clairsentient, someone who has the ability to feel subtle energy, you can ask your guide a question and ask that the answer be given by making you feel energy on you right hand for a yes or left hand for a no. That means that for your guide to give you that answer your guide makes energy manifest in either the left or right hand. That same energy and vibration can be sent on through to the pendulum. That is the reason the pendulum works when it is being held but it does not do anything or make any movement when just hanging from the jewelry tree in the store because it is receiving no contact with a body which then it picks up the energy and vibrations from. A person practicing telekinesis would notice that to make a pin-wheel spin it is more difficult at a distance versus being close enough to almost touch it and close enough for your body’s energy field to affect it.

The pendulum, although it can be a safe tool to use, is almost as taboo to some as the weegie board. Any tool used can be a danger if safety precautions are not used and that includes using your own body as a pendulum. Although you are not using a foreign tool you should always ground, protect and state/think your specific intentions before doing any metaphysical work. When in doubt just don’t do it.

If you have read other articles I have written you know that I usually give information based on my own personal experiences. So keep in mind there is often more than one way to accomplish the same goal. If you find other information telling you how to use your body as a pendulum that does not suggest you ground and protect do not avoid the safety precaution just because it is easier to not do so. Use your own discernment and common sense.

The first step in using your body as a pendulum is to ground, protect and clear and balance your chakra’s. It is easiest to use your body as a pendulum if your chakra’s are clear and balance. When clear and balanced energy is able to flow in and out of your body without being blocked. For example, when I have even one blocked chakra it affects my clairsentience, what I am able to feel and how strongly I feel it. But once clear and balance I can feel and sense everything quite clearly. For empaths the same is true. When you have a connection, or connections, you have picked up and not severed they can affect you in so many ways that are not in your best interest. They can affect you being able to effectively remember dreams, hinder efforts to concentrate, and also can have an effect that seems to be the equivalent of dimming your metaphysical abilities. If you are an empath it is important to know that empaths have a tendency to become ungrounded quite easily. It is not uncommon for me to ground several times a day.

Since I do the previous in a meditative state this allows me to at this point to just go a little deeper in meditation. By going deeper I am referring to slowly your brainwaves down even further by simply clearing all thoughts from your mind. I prefer to let my own higher self tell me when I am ready to begin asking questions and receiving answers and this happens because I begin to feel myself rocking slowly forward and back. I would recommend that at either that point or when you feel ready you begin by asking the simple question of which way you will sway when the answer is yes. Take your time and do not rush things. Remember, if this is the first time you have attempted this you may have limited results. The limited results could be a sign that you have a block in one of your chakra’s that needs to be cleared so don’t be to quite to throw in the towel. Metaphysically speaking there are many things that I have done the first time with limited or no successful results at all. You must be willing to be committed to continually working at it until you work out the kinks, so to speak.

When you feel your body sway it is a feeling similar to feeling slightly pushed or rocked gently by some invisible hand but without feeling a hand. When it happens it actually feels like you can not control you’re swaying in that direction or I should say like it is out of your control since technically you know you do have control to stop yourself from swaying if you chose to.

Next ask which way you will sway when the answer is no, then when the question can not be answered. Next you can ask some test question such as “Do I have a son?” or “Was I born in October?” Once you feel comfortable that you understand how you will sway for yes, no and no answer can be given you can proceed and ask the questions you would like to know.

As always remember to be respectful to spirit. Show your appreciation, try not to ask the same questions repeatedly, and last but not least DO NOT SHOOT THE MESSENGER!

I think this is an excellent question to explore if you are an empath. One of the hardest things about being an empath often is not understanding why you are an empath. You think there must be a reason why you would exist in this world as an empath.

Let me take a second to define what an empath is in case this is the first post on this blog you are reading.

And empath is someone who can feel the emotions and sometimes pain of others as though they were their own. Much different from sympathizing or simply empathizing. To empathize with someone means possible from personal experiences you can UNDERSTAND what they are going through or experiencing. And EMPATH is very different in that they KNOW what you are going through and experiencing because they have the ability to feel it WITHIN themselves as though it were THEIR OWN emotion or pain. An unskilled empath often doesn’t know when they feel something that it is not their own emotion or pain they are feeling. Empathy transcends time and space. And empath can feel the energy of the emotion or pain not just from another human being (spirit living a physical existence) but also from animals, plants, spirits on the other side as well. To give you an example, an empath may wake up feeling perfectly fine and in a good mood. Then suddenly they can find themselves feeling agitated and angry. They may even have a sense that they feel that way for a specific reason (giving insight into what the person they are feeling is going through). That seems innocent enough but imagine an empath feeling the pain of someone dislocating their knee or getting an IV put in and you can understand why many empath want to know why they have been blessed with such a gift.

Getting back to whether an empath has a specific purpose of job to do in life, the answer is yes. An empaths most important job is just being…just existing. And empath transmutes negative energy and an empath also has the ability to project energy/light. Two important things an empath needs to do to serve the world and their purpose as an empath is to become a skilled/controlled empath and just exist.

This post is not about crystal therapy but a simple how to use crystals, so this may be a short, sweet and simple post.

If you have some beautiful crystals you have purchased or been given and are not sure how to use them, not to worry because it is quite simple.

It is easier if you are laying down when you do crystal therapy on yourself. The crystals will be laid on your body so that they are over the chakra you would like to clear and balance. Let say for example that you would like to balance your sacral chakra and your masculine feminine energies. A carnelian crystal is great for this task. Place the carnelian crystal a couple of fingers widths below your navel, relax and focus on your sacral chakra. As you relax and focus on the sacral chakra imagine and feel the energy from the crystal being absorbed into your chakra. Imaigne that the chakra is being cleared and balance and try to feel that as well.

The time that it takes to clear and balance the chakra of course varies. Some people say that they have experienced crystals falling off the area or almost popping off when healing is complete. This is really something you have to attempt to feel but if you are unsure give it at least 15 minutes. The chakras will not absorb more energy than they need.

My suggestions for crystals to use with the seven chakras plus the foot chakra is as follows:

Foot - Howlite

Root (clairolfaction) - Bloodstone

Sacral (clairsentience) - Carnelian

Solar Plexus (astral travel) - Citrine, Yellow Calcite

Heart (empathy) - Malachite, Green Aventurine and Rose Quartz

Throat (clairaudience, clairgustance) - Sodalite

Brow (clairvoyance) - Labadorite

Crown (claircognizance) - Amethyst

Every time I read an article or a post on clairsentience I get a little ticked off. There is such bad info out there it’s ridiculous. And at one time I was the receiver of some of that bad info which is why it took so long to figure out the truth of clairsentience and how to use it.

Many of the bad info I read when it comes to the authors telling how they use their clairaudience they speak of hearing (thoughts) or receiving intuitive messages. I also have read the crap (Sorry for my bad attitude but it burns me because bad info hinders peoples development) about what some authors and clairsentience think the sensations they feel are and I notice they feel that it is everything BUT communication.
Well I will tell you the truth. I spent almost a year researching clairsentience. I felt like I was in college studying for my Masters Degree because of how much time I spent researching clairsentience. But I had no choice because over night my clairsentience came on strong and when I say strong I mean it was like day and night. I felt like I was a different person. I notice that when people spoke to me depending on what they were saying I would get certain sensations in certain parts of my body. After all the research I did I realized that just like other abilities clairsentience was no different. I was receiving symbolic messages but instead of seeing an image, smelling or tasting something I was receiving the symbols associated with different parts of my body. I still did not have a good understanding of what was happening though but the answer came from someone I gave a practice reading to. She was so nice. I explained that I would feel things on different parts of my body and thought it was because the person has something wrong or and injury with that part of their body, but as she later cleared up for me I was way off. It was not injury I was feeling but a symbolic message that I had to translate. After giving her a reading and telling her what I felt in response to questions I asked she easily translated what I had received. She translated the sensations and if it has not been for her I would have never been able to ever use my clairsentience today as I do and carry on a complete conversation almost using only the sensations I feel.

An example of what I am talking about is when I am being told someone is heading in the right direction I feel my lower right leg. If I am being told that someone needs to rethink a situation or something then I feel a sensation on the left part of my head.

So what has me soooo frustrated about others information about clairsentience? That they say if you have clairsentience you get tingles her and there but it’s just your energy centers clearing, Here is an answer to me asking someone who professed to be a fully developed clairsentient back when I desperately needed correct answers:

“Hi Sherry,

As far as communicating, they use telepathy (thoughts). Though sometimes if no one is around, I voice my responses and questions, then listen. Usually the first thought that enters your mind is their answer. But being verbal is really unnecessary. Communicating or talking with them is accomplished simply by talking as you do with people. No special method or ritual. Just communicate/talk as you normally would talk to someone.

The heat your feeling is your physical response to energy, which can often be a signal of a nonphysical energy presence. I get tingling sensations or an electric type sensation. Its quite an experience. When I feel energy in my hands and feet, its an indication that my energy source is flowing unobstructed. For me, the first time this happened is when I knew I could perform healing on myself and others.”

This person who gave me advise is advising others in developing and using abilities. Telepathy is not clairsentience and is more tied to clairaudience. But acutally telepathy is a Psi ability. She says “the first thought that enters your mind…” Hmmm, does that or does that not describe clairaudience? Yup, clairaudience.  Feeling sensations in the hands is about communication although also it sounds like her hand chakras were trying to more fully open and when chakras first open the energy flows strongly. Those chakra centers just opened aren’t use to the amount of energy that is suddenly able to flow through them. Sensations in the feet also can be translated as well although same as all chakra points when first opened you will feel tingling as they are opening and clearing.

Clairsentients often also have other other abilities that work in conjunction with clairsentience such as clairaudience, clairvoyance, claircognizance, clairolfaction and clairgustance…but clairsentience IS NOT all those things wrapped up into one as many state on their websites and blogs. Clairsentience is clear feeling/sensing period. Clairsentience is also NOT psychometry. Anyone can develop psychometry regardless of what abilities they have developed. And psychometry does not work like clairsentience in that when messages are recieved via psychometry you receive the messages via whatever ability you have. So if you are clairvoyant then using psychometry you would receive images of what is received, for example. Ted Andrews wrote an excellent book that is so thorough called “How To Do Psychic Readings Through Touch.”

So, once I found out that the truth was that the sensations were symbologic messages that needed to be translated I did some more research and found the “Book of Storms.” In this great course you learn about the translation faculty. At first I thought it was something I had to ask for and would be downloaded into my chakras or something. I know, funny! A translation faculty simply means you create a dictionary of what the symbolic messages mean to you. That proved to be difficult although not impossble. I spent a lot of time with my guides day after day building a translation faculty. And that ended up being the KEY to using clairsentience.

Okay, thanks for letting me vent a little. I’m done now.

It’s a simple thing but one that is often over looked. As we go about searching out the techniques that will open us up and awaken ourselves some times we overlooked the simply things.

Being happy! I don’t just mean having a few laughs throughout the day and playing with the kids, I mean being happy, mentally and emotionally well in every way. Being good to yourself and others as well. And don’t just treat yourself good but the people you come into contact with also. I know sometimes that is hard to do when you come up against bad attitudes but why let another’s bad attitude affect you. Does it do either of you any good for both of you to have a bad attitude. No! The best thing you can do for yourself and for others is to be happy and emotionally healthy.

When you are not emotionally and mentally healthy did you know that creates blocks in your chakras? That means it is creating blocks to your psychic self. If you are going around being grumpy you are only hurting yourself.

Start in simple ways.

• Watch those negative thoughts about others.  Whenever one starts to enter your mind, brush it away and instead in your mind think of something good to say about that person. If your in traffic and someone cuts you off you don’t know that person and might think “Well how can I say something nice about them when I don’t even know them?” Simple. Just say you appreciate them for not hitting your car or just simple say you appreciate them because they are nice and kind. Sure you don’t know that for a fact but the thing is you are sending out the right kind of positive energy.
• Smile! Did you know that just doing something simple like smiling will raise your vibrations?
• Don’t Gossip! Gossiping is one of the worst things you can do. It affects your throat chakra.
• Don’t Lie! Try to avoid even those little white lies. Lying can also affect your throat chakra.
• Forgive! If there is anything from the past…let it go. You may think you have let it go, but I am not talking about just forgetting it. Forgetting and pushing things out of your mind is different than forgiving. Forgiving releases you and releases the other person(s).

In the Hawaiian art of Ho ‘oponopono the four most powerful phrases are:

• I am sorry
• Please forgive me
• I love you
• Thanks You

Whenever you feel you need to let go of something from the past or even present try focusing on the person or situation and repeating those phrases over and over again until you feel released and healed.

So far in Part I and II we have gone over the basics of grounding and protection. By now you should be at a point where you feel not only comfortable with grounding and protecting but also more confident. Before doing any thing related to developing empathy, psychic abilities or just even doing chakra work it is very important that you ground and protect. Sorry to have to be redundant but I know for myself in the beginning even though I knew how important it was I would often forget at times myself. The reality is that some times you will have a busy day and maybe you do not take the time in the morning to ground and protect because you are running late or your 4 year old decides he’s going to cut his own hair and it side tracts you. So if you got busy and didn’t do it this morning, do it now.

So in this Part III I have decided that it is time to purposely feel. As an empath you get use to picking up things here and there that you are not actually attempting to. You are probably use to feeling strangers in the grocery store checkout lane without any effort and feeling that you really didn’t need to know that the cashier was in a bad mood or that the person directly in front of you has some dental problem. True. But how about using that ability to your advantage? What things can you think of that would be useful to know? Whether your boss is in a good mood or whether you need to be on your best behavior and keep your distance? Whether a co-worker has ill intentions and is planning to stab you in the back? Whether your 5 year old is lying about who broke that vase?

In order to feel there needs to be a connection to what you are attempting to feel. Just like there are many ways to ground and protect there are various ways to connect to someone or some thing. Remember that everything is made up of energy regardless of what it is. Whether it is a chair, your dog, your rose bush or your neighbor it is all made up of energy. Everything also has an different energy signature or vibration. No two are the same although to feel it may be hard to differentiate many times. The best place to begin learning to connect and to begin empathically feeling is right in your own backyard. The trees, the grass, that blooming plant you favor so much, the bird that are perched on tree nearby, that cat that is walking by on his/her way home, etc.

Connecting

I will write about two different ways to connect. Before practicing it is best if you clearly understand how to disconnect, so do not gloss over that information.

When I connect to anything I visualize in my minds eye and imagine myself merging with the person or object. Okay, think of something you might see on Star Trek. You can either see yourself merging into the person or object or the object or person merging into you. Once you are connected you should be able to feel that you are. Now this is very important…if you don’t know 100% how you feel you will have a hard time knowing when you are connected and feeling someone else. So before you say I did it and I don’t know if it worked or not, know that unless you have gotten to the point where you can discern what is your and what is not you will have a hard time knowing when and if you are connected. Hence one of the common problems of an empath, right? So what do you do? You will only learn to feel the difference by continually trying. Don’t give up because it is hard. Who said it would be easy? Not I. lol. But if you keep trying I assure you it will get easier and easier to feel what is and is not yours.

Another way to connect is through your chakras. For example, when connecting to a person you visualize that a stream of energy that is cord like is going out from your charkas and connecting to the other persons chakras. So root chakra to root chakra, third eye to third eye, crown to crown, etc. When it comes to telepathy it is similar, so if you have taken any courses in telepathy such as “SANANDA COURSE IN TELEPATHY” this will be familiar to you.

Connected, Now What?

Be still. Here is where meditating will help you. Through meditation you have learned to still and quiet your mind. Psalm 46:10 “Be still and know that I am God.” Ah ha…how many of you have heard that bible verse said? Key “BE STILL!” Quiet your mind and allow yourself to feel. Question yourself in your head and ask “What do I feel? How does this person feel? How does this tree feel?” etc. As you are connected and are starring at that tree and seeing its branches blow in the wind, do you feel it…the swaying of the tree? Can you feel yourself start to sway?

It is a good idea to keep a note book or journal on your computer to note your experiences and what you feel specifically. Because often you feel things you don’t quite know what you are feeling. If you are connecting to your best friend and you feel something strange you have never felt before area your jaw area and then later she/he tells you they had a bad toothache or just had wisdom teeth pulled, you can then connect the feeling. This is not easy. Do not assume that you will know what it is that you are feeling exactly. It takes time to learn what various things feel like whether it comes to physical feelings or emotions. Sometimes you just know because you have felt the feeling before and you can tie it to something from your past experiences. Like for example, you may feel someones emotions and think to yourself “Oh I remember feeling this way when I was young and had to move away from my best friend.” The more experiences you have had in life I do believe the easier it is to discern what you are feeling.

Keep in mind that when you have a connection to someone or something it is a two way street. There is not just energy flowing one way but both ways. So just as you may be able to feel the other person, animal, plant, etc they can feel you as well. Also keep in mind that someone who is well developed when it comes to sensing subtle energy will feel you connect. So in practicing it is important that you be responsible and ethical.

Disconnecting

There are a couple of ways you can disconnect, and of course you will eventually choose your own way of connecting and disconnecting. I am giving you what I have come up with for me. You may think of a way to visualize connecting and disconnecting that is better or easier for you. So keep in mind, there is no one right way. One day you may even get a little craftier and come up with a trigger that allows you to connect and disconnect easily.

One way to disconnect is to visualize the person un-merging from you as though the two of you are slowing separating. After seeing the separation imagine seeing a cord that is still connecting the two of you. Visualize that you either have a sword (like the sword of Archangel Michael) and you cut the cord or that you pull the cord out of the other person and it retracts back into you. After the cord is severed see the other person surrounded in a white light bubble floating up, up, and away from you.

The other way to disconnect is to just see the other person a few feet in front of you, and see the cord connecting you both and sever it at which time you see them surrounded in a bright white light bubble and floating up and away from you.

Note that you may need to go through the motions of disconnecting several times before feeling that you are in fact disconnected from the other person. Based on what the other person has going on it may be easy or difficult to disconnect. There was a time I use to be scared to connect to people because of bad experiences I had with trying to disconnect from them. Say for example they are sick, are going through emotional issues, etc. and because of that their energy is low. So being connected to them it is like they are getting that extra energy their body needs. So, when it is time to disconnect I like to think of it as their subtle body doesn’t want the connection to be severed because it needs that extra energy at the time. And no it is not safe to play the hero and stay connected thinking you are doing a good thing for them. That will only eventually lead you to being drained of energy and feeling sick.

It is very difficult to disconnect from someone who has a substance abuse problem. If you run into a situation where you find you can’t disconnect, don’t panic. Stay calm and ask your guides, God, Yeshua (Jesus), or Archangel Michael to help you disconnect. Remember they can’t help you unless you ask for help. They may see you panicked and flopping around like a fish and still they can’t help you until you ask for help.

The Difference between Developing and Developed

In the beginning when you are developing you will have limited control. Connecting and disconnecting may not be easy in the beginning. With practice of course you will get better. Once fully developed you will have not only control but the confidence needed to feel you are always in control of yourself.

Privacy

Of course I have to bring this up. Often you will feel something that someone is feeling. Regardless of your ability that is still private information. You have an obligation and a responsibility to be moral and ethical when it comes to knowing things about people. Don’t get caught up into trying to develop your empathic abilities so much that you cross the line. Often there are things people do not want anyone to know and do not want to openly discuss with you. Just because you can feel do not feel that it is your responsibility to help someone just because you can feel them. Be very careful and if you are unsure of what to do with information you receive…that is your answer…do nothing with it and keep it to yourself.
