INTEGRITY

What is your truth? What values are so important to you that you would defend them to the death? If you have never taken the time to figure this out--today might be good!

As th consciousness of Planet Earth evolves into higher levels, we are being pushed to move into our individual places of integrity. This starts with gentle nudges, but if we don't respond, those nudges turn into cosmic two by fours! We get presented with people and situations that push our buttons and challenge our core beliefs, causing us to have to make some really uncomfortable choices. How many of us have been experiencing this (or is it just me)?

Here's a tip to make this time of personal and spiritual growth easier to navigate:

Make a list of your core beliefs and use them to create a Personal Mission Statement. Next make a shield or plaque that proudly displays your Mission Statement. Have fun with this project! Put it in a place where you can be reminded regularly of your mission. This will help you to stay in your integrity, and when you are there, your boundaries are strong and you are protected.

BALANCE

The Universe operates in balance, and if we want to be in alignment with its energetic flow, we must be in balance as well. But how many of us feel like our lives are anything BUT balanced these days? We either find ourselves working too hard, or not having enough work; we either give too much or we don't seem to get anything in return for our "investment". Lately, the energies seem to be chaotic, and many of us are having difficulty grounding.

How can we shift ourselves back into a place of balance? Awareness is the first step. Our outer world is a reflection of our inner landscape, so if things just don't seem to be making sense, rather than going into that "victim place", take some time to look within. Go back over your thoughts for the last few weeks or months to see what might be contributing to this.

Generally the bottom line is fear. When we allow fear to grap our attention, the human reaction is to move into control to try to counteract it. This attempt to control our circumstances is what starts the skid that throws our lives out of balance, and before we know it we are "Out Of Control".

The only technique that really works to restore balance is Surrender. As counter-intuitive as it might sound, letting go allows the Universe to shift this energy and put everything back into alignment once more. How do you surrender? Letting go is the only way. Drop the rope - it takes two to play tug-of-war. Breathe. Release any thoughts that you might be carrying that tell you that you know the best way to do anything. When you step back into that place of child-like innocence, you open the door for miracles to occur!

Forgive Someone Today!

As we begin the journey into the new year, it will be a much easier one if we carry less baggage. A great way to lighten the load is to release our attachment to resentment and anger against another. There is a two-fold blessing to this: we let go of something that is holding us back AND we receive forgiveness from someone as well.

It's that karma thing! What we put out into the Universe comes back to us, so by forgiving we are forgiven. If you forgive one person one grudge that you are holding, you get one of yours forgive, and if you forgive ten, you get ten forgiven. The Master Jesus said when asked how many times we should forgive our brother, "Seventy times seven" In scripture the number seven always means "as much or as long as it takes", so he wasn't literally meaning seventy-seven times. Just keep forgiving until there is no charge left on what the other person said or did.

Start today and make a list of every single person you can think of that has done or said something that has hurt you - EVER. You might need a LOT of paper! Keep writing until you just can't come up with anything more. It could take all day. Then, when you feel totally complete, pick one and forgive. Cross that one off the list. If you can, pick another and repeat the process. Keep on keeping on!

Let this be the year that nothing is left unforgiven. Additionally, let me know how this feels for you when you are done!

It's Gonna Be OUR Year!

So, you ask, "What makes 2011 any different that any other year thus far?" This is the year that we move fully into the NOW, into our power to make it be exactly how we want it! OR NOT!

Until now, most of us just didn't realize it was possible, but alot has shifted in the last 12 months.

• mass consciousness is risen incrementally
• the hold of the Patriachy has been loosened accordingly
• physical changes on the planet have cleared away some the density that held us into lower dimensions
• individually, many of us have done our "homework" and let go of more baggage than you can possibly imagine - clearing the way for others to do the same
• we have collectively decided we don't want to stay in "status quo" anymore.

Your next question might be, "How can I make sure I take advantage of this groundswell so that this can be MY year to succeed in every area of my life?" Here are some simple steps to take now:

1. Develop a "plan", but this year, list your end results, rather than how you plan to get there.
2. Develop your "attitude of gratitude" and give thanks that all your goals are a part of your life already
3. Help others - pay it forward, even if you have little to work with. Helping someone else keeps the energy flowing and staying in the flow is the best way to manifest what you desire.

Most important, though, is to maintain your confidence throughout the year, keeping in mind that life is just a game, and as long as you keep playing by the rules and honing your skills, you will WIN!

FInding The Joy In The Holiday Season

Holidays can be difficult times for many. This year is no exception. Third dimensional reality displays rampant unemployment, sickness, and governmental upheaval. If we aren't careful, we can easily get pulled into the drama. In fact, many of us on our path to higher consciousness unconsciously allow the thoughts of the masses to influence our emotions. How many times to you find yourself sad or depressed for no obvious reason?

This time of year should be a time of joy and a time of renewal. Almost every spiritual tradition supports this, but where is this joy? Are you having difficulty decorating your house or buying holiday gifts this year? There seems to be a pervasive sense of lethargy hanging in the air.

Let's use our thoughts to become the change! If everyone who reads this blog participates, this could be a truly great experiment. Set aside a moment to go within to that place where love resides inside you. Look in that safe place where you store your treasures, right behind your heart. This is where you find the joy that can light up this holiday season for you, and when you flip that switch, you send your Light out into the world so that others can see it and remember the truth about why we are here. It can become a domino effect.

The real purpose behind this holiday season isn't the giving of gifts or the fancy parties. It is the remembering and rebirthing of your own personal TRUTH. You are both unique and powerful as the creator of your reality, and this season offers you the time to use your personal gifts to do just that - to create JOY. As you remember the feelings of joy, they become contagious, and you are able to share them with other. As you share joy, it grows within you. So take a moment each day to become joy.

And just in case I don't tell you enough, I am deeply grateful to each of you for the joy you ignite within my heart and in my life. Thank you!

Personal Enemy Number 1 - FEAR

The last two weeks have proved to be quite "interesting" for me. Three weeks ago I began receiving a series of glyphs or pictures in my meditations, and my Guides told me that they were to be used to activate aspects of consciousness. I would see the glyph in my mind and hear its name, then it was my task to draw it. Trust me - artist is not my Day Job! But draw I did. With each glyph it became more fun - and seeing the beauty of them was both reward and validation. By last week, over 90 of them had flowed in through me.

Then things got more interesting - I began to have heart palpitations and irregular pulse. Nothing else in my life had changed, just these pictures. This continued for a week, and I continued to draw. During the day, I didn't notice the pulse problems so much, but at night when I went to bed, it became all too apparent. I got scared. I began to think the worst: am I having a heart attack, a stroke, am I going to die? The more I thought about it the more the fear would tighten its grip.

Finally, when it didn't quit, I called my holistic acupuncturist/chiropractor. I took the glyphs with me for my appointment, and when he tested me with them he said, "When you look at these your entire endocrine system reacts in a negative manner and your blood sugar spikes. You are in energetic overload!"

While I was laying on the table receiving acupuncture, I called in my Guides and said, You have to back off before you KILL me!" They replied, "No, YOU have to back off! We never asked you to bring in six of these a day, but you went into Type A overdrive and pushed yourself like there was a deadline - get it - DEAD line?" This isn't a race. Take your time."

They then proceeded to tell me that the underlying emotion that was making me sick was fear. Fear is not compatible with the higher dimensions of consciousness. Each glyph I drew was activating me in beautiful ways, but I was doing it so fast that my physical body couldn't keep up, and as my body began to push back - fear grew.

We have three choices with respect to fear:
1) We can hang on to it since we seem to be so attached to it, and we will stay stuck in third dimensional reality, with suffering, lack, sickness, war and death as our allies
2)We can try to move into higher consciousness and take our fear with us, but due to the lack of energetic compatibility between fear and the higher dimensions, this will create pain and illness for us
3) We can lay the fear down once and for all time, and move into Heaven on Earth

Once I realized what was happening, I took the 3rd option. I stopped worrying about what might happen and pulled myself into the present moment. My heart returned to normal. The glyphs are resting quietly in their little red folder and shortly I will resume channelling them - one at a time until they are complete.

Gratitude

Gratitude is the glue that holds together the cycle of conscious creation. It keeps the flow of manifestation constant. This cycle of giving and receiving holds is into the present moment where we are able to create the things we desire. Without gratitude the gift is incomplete.

Acceptance is an important aspect of this cycle. When we are offered anything - whether it is an actual gift or merely a kind word, if we refuse it or deny it in anyway, the flow is interrupted. When this happens our energy is blocked. For this reason, it's important to receive everything that is offered with gratitude. No matter what, or how you feel about it, a "thank you" is always appropriate.

When we accept the things that are presented to us, and the energy flows freely, we don't store up resentments, wounds or other blocks that we will have to deal with later on. We certainly don't have to like or agree with the gift or the giver, but it's our duty to accept and acknowledge their right to their thought,belief or opinion.

Remember - it's all about energy. Keeping the energy moving allows you to receive more of what you truly want!

In this season of Thanksgiving, we have much to be grateful for.

I am grateful for each of you.

Love,
Jean Adrienne
