MUSE-INGS: There is hope for humanity! by Rosemary Bredeson

If we can all bring our focus away from what divides us and, instead, work with the energies that unite us, we can solve the problems of humanity.

The evolutionary spirit of human beings depends upon an understanding of the connectedness of all Life.  The evolutionary process did not stop when a man chose to walk upright on 2 legs, or when the hairy beast lost some fur.  We continue to evolve and the Heart-Mind Center that is appearing in Conscious Humans is another sign that evolution is still at work on the species.

We NEED this evolutionary change at this time!  We need to figure out some new ways of being because a lot of the old ways no long work in the 21st Century world we live in.  The only important question is, Are you willing to evolve or are you struggling to hold on to the old ways of being?

How wonderful that we are being given a new energy center to help us in this process.  How kind of the Universe to help us along.  Are you willing to work to develop this energy center in yourself?  What does that entail?

Loving yourself is the first step.  Take care of yourself – body, mind, spirit, energy.  Many people are going to the gym but how many are going inside and meditating?  Many people are studying or delving deeply into intellectual topics but how many are expanding their spiritual understandings?

Loving yourself isn’t just about taking a spa vacation or taking time to be entertained.  There is an active quality about loving yourself that requires that you continually move in the direction of your highest good.  What stretches you to greater spiritual understanding?  What increases the Love in you that can radiate outwardly to others?  How can you come to a better understanding of the concept that All are One?  Do you ever wrestle with questions like these?  Do you have others with whom you can explore these ideas?

It is time to find community, a tribe, a collection of people who, like you, are explorers in the realm of Consciousness and who are open to learning that previously held ideas may no longer be valid.  Do you sometimes feel that you are the only one in your community who holds ideas that are considered heretical by some?  You are not alone even if it feels that way.

Humanity is waking up.  Eyes are being opened.  Hearts are reaching out for a purer vibration of Love.  Minds are questioning longtime notions that seem to have served their purpose and no longer apply to the 21st Century world.  Every time you start to question something you or others once believed, you are joined by others who are also questing after new knowledge.  The Heart-Mind Center is the point of connection between you.  Play with this concept and explore.  Find someone to ask who can explore with you.

All are One.  Every question in you is also in others.  Find them.

And remember that you cannot shut down your evolving Heart-Mind Center.  If you are part of this community and are reading these words, then the time for you to evolve is upon you.  Reach for your highest good in all things.  Many of us are reaching with you and for you.  You are supported.  The changes that are coming will be good for you if you keep your focus on growth.

All are One.  You are never alone for that would be a violation of the Law of Nature that All are One.  Take my hand and together we can walk forward and upright.  Then we can reach out for other hands to bring them along with us.

THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: “Your Heart-Mind Center is showing!”

Dear Ones,

Is your Heart-Mind Center active yet?  This is the energy between your Heart Center in the middle of your chest and your Throat Center at your throat.  The Heart-Mind Center is a new energy center that is forming in those who are moving forward in their path of personal growth.  Not all human beings are developing these Centers because they have shut down the pathways between their Heart and Mind and are not giving voice to new ideas for the coming times.

Have you ever been aware of energy in this part of your body?  Some people have talked of a ‘high heart center’ but we are speaking of a different energy vibration.  The Heart-Mind Center combines the Heart and the Mind in a new way.  For many generations of human lives the Heart or the Mind has dominated.  Spiritual students have worked to integrate the two -‘As a man thinketh in the heart’ – but we would tell you that the Heart-Mind has its own vibrational frequency and is more than a combination of Heart and Mind.

The Heart-Mind is a new way of thinking.  Through this new Center one can connect with the dimension of Consciousness and breakthrough what has limited the development of human beings for many ages.  New thought originates in the realm of Consciousness and can be grasped by those who have expanded their own understanding beyond what peoples of times before have been able to comprehend.  The Heart-Mind allows one to see beyond the limitations of old ways of thinking because the Love energy from the Heart is present in the development of ideas and thoughts and beliefs.

The New Human is evolving from a person of compassion into one who can love with detachment, understand without needing to be understood and who understands that the new compassion is born out of the concept of the connectedness of all beings, not from the idea of mercy toward the needy or the lesser beings.  This concept of the Compassion of Connectedness begins in an evolving Heart-Mind where the energies of the Heart and the Mind are not separated but are integrated and are greater than the sum of the separate parts.  Heart-Mind Compassion has a higher vibration than the charity of those who see themselves as separate from others.

And so we ask you, Is your Heart-Mind Center growing?  Are you developing your understanding that Love must be a component energy in the thoughts that you dwell on and the ideas that you share with others?  And do you understand that you must first love yourself so that you can develop this Heart-Mind Center?

Love of self is not selfishness nor is it vanity.  Loving yourself is the most intelligent thing that you can do.  Those who commit heinous crimes against others do so from a place where they cannot find the ability to love themselves.  Those who judge others harshly or condemn them are operating without loving themselves.  Many who are self-righteous are that way because they do not feel loved and cannot learn to love themselves.  None of these people is capable of Heart-Mind Compassion because they cannot love those they see as separate from their unlovable selves.

When one unites the two concepts of the Love for Self with the Compassion of Connectedness then one understands that All are One with The Whole.  Connectedness is not about many separate entities being tied together.  Rather it is that All are One with The Whole.  Unity.  There is no separation.  I cannot love you if I cannot love myself because we are One.

Too many people are focusing on differences and separation and otherness.  It is the work of those humans who are actively participating in the evolution of human consciousness to grow the energy of their Heart-Mind Centers by focusing on Love – of Self, of Others and of The Whole — and by allowing the ideas from the Heart-Mind energy to expand awareness in the World at large.

Do not worry about those who do not understand for you cannot convince anyone to believe who cannot accept the basic concept that All are One.  Spend your energy on your own journey of understanding and on expanding your own awareness.

Your reward will be greater Love in your Life.

And so it is.

MUSE-INGS: You’re #1 [Priority!] by Rosemary Bredeson

How often do we hear that we are supposed to love ourselves?  And how often do we NEED to hear it?

When we get really busy, around holidays or our work’s busy season, for example, we tend to put taking care of ourselves on the back burner.  For whatever reason, and we can certainly come up with some good excuses, we just don’t get around to that ‘taking care of ourselves’ stuff!

So today I am going to ask you to join me in moving forward in the commitment to put taking care of Self at the top of the priority list.

Do you make lists?  To-do lists?  Shopping lists?  Gift lists?  Who determines the priorities on those lists?  From my studies of neuro-linguistic programming and hypnosis I’ve learned that our unconscious mind is in charge, whether we know it or not and whether we like it or not.  We can write a list of priorities that look the way we consciously want them to look or as we feel we ‘should’ prioritize our values, but it really is more important to determine what really matters and what really motivates us.  The list might look different, and usually does, when we work with our unconscious mind to determine our values and our priorities.

So what can you do to make sure that loving yourself makes it to the top of your priority list?  Decide.  Commit to yourself.  And do the work to examine your unconscious mind and its priorities.  Keep track of your activities one day.  Watch how you spend your time.  What is so urgent that it bumps other things off your to-do list?  See if you can put something on the list that is only about taking care of yourself. Does it get done?  Does it stay on the list or does it get pushed aside by emergencies?  Just notice.  This is not about beating yourself up but about becoming curious about exactly where your motivating forces reside within you.

Now try scheduling that ‘me time’ that you need.  What would you do with an hour, a half-hour, 15-minutes of ‘me time’?  Make an appointment with yourself for this and keep that time sacred.  It could start with a simple 5-minute meditation or a walk around the block or 15 minutes without answering emails or the phone.  I frequently take ‘tea time’ for myself.  I make myself tea and get a piece of fruit or a graham cracker and sit with a book and sip tea.  I don’t jump up to answer the phone.  I step away from the computer.  I’ve learned that everything that tries to intrude on my ‘tea time’ can wait a half-hour to be handled.

It might take some practice to ignore a ringing phone, but we do have caller ID now so, if it is an emergency you can probably detect it.  You can set certain times each day that you check email and facebook and keep to that schedule so that those activities are not eating up your ‘me time.’  What activity really feeds your spirit?  Do you like to write or read or play piano or make jewelry?  I like to do all of these things and sometimes I just need to go to the piano and play one song to give myself a break from pondering a problem or getting things done.  It’s like a meditation to get lost in the music for a few minutes.

Decide what feels good to you and then do it no matter what else tries to claim your attention or your time.  You’ll find that the energy you gain from taking time for yourself makes you more productive in your other activities.  If you break away from doing for others for a bit you can be more fully present to them when you move back into that shared space.

Let’s make Self-Love a priority and do the work it takes to keep it at the top of the list!

THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: “Love Yourself”

Dear Ones,

Be filled with the spirit of Love!  Love yourself.  Love the people around you. Love your Life.  Love the lessons that each day brings.  Make a decision to BE LOVE in the world.  Choose to spread the energy of Love.

Notice that we started with the charge to ‘Love yourself’ for all Love flows from Self-Love.  Make sure that you have dealt with any resistance that comes up for you when you hear that admonition.  ‘Love yourself’ is sometimes taken to mean that you must ignore other people or be self-ish in your dealings with them but we would tell you that loving yourself is the most loving thing that you can do for others.

If you would give until you are depleted of energy then you have nothing to give to the next person who might be in need.  If, on the other hand, you always take care of and love yourself, then your well will be full when you are truly needed to help others.  This is not self-ish.  This kind of self-love is the kind that allows you to be the most loving individual to others.

When your energy starts to flag, if you find yourself catching illnesses or seeming to be depleted or even depressed, ask yourself how you have been deficient in loving yourself.  Do you need to do something drastic to take care of yourself?  Sometimes this might take the form of a private retreat or vacation so that you can replenish your energetic connection to your True Self Within.  Sometimes it is as simple as an hour’s meditation or a long soak in a hot tub.  Do you need to work with someone to uncover your emotional needs?  Then make the appointment.  Do you need to start journaling?  Then make time in every day to do just that.

Perhaps you are just needing to get a good’s night sleep but other responsibilities are keeping you from that.  Decide what it would take to give that to yourself, such as spending a night or two away from home so that you can truly relax from responsibility, and then give that to yourself.

You know, deep inside yourself, what you are most yearning for.  Self-Love is deciding to give that to yourself.  Taking care of yourself and your inner needs is a part of realizing your mission on Planet Earth.  You came to the Planet to be an individual with a purpose to fulfill.  You cannot fulfill that purpose if your energy is spent on other endeavors.  Fill yourself up with the energy that you need.  Plan your day, your week, your month around making sure that you do not deplete your energy.  Eat, exercise, sleep, meditate, journal, take walks in Nature, listen to uplifting music, engage in a creative activity that feeds your inner being.  All of these should be a part of your daily life.  If you are putting off even one of these then examine your priorities.  Are you waiting for your schedule to free up some time so that you can do these things?  That will never happen if you are waiting for some external permission to include these activities.  Are you delaying because you feel over burdened with taking care of others? Then ask if your taking care of them is allowing them to blossom into their highest manifesting of Spirit energy on the Planet.  Also ask yourself if you have blocks or fears about stepping into the greatness that is yours to manifest in your lifetime.

Really, seriously examine your life and your priorities.  You must use every day of your life to further your personal growth.  If you keep putting off this work then look at the excuses you give yourself.

Today, as you read these words, make a commitment to yourself that you will start to look at your schedule with an eye to making sure that you are loving yourself first.  Program the rest of your time around those activities that feed your Inner Spirit.  The ‘you’ that develops from making this commitment will be the most loving, giving ‘you’ that you could ever offer to others!

And so it is.

MUSE-INGS: “Let’s Avoid Another Dark Age” by Rosemary Bredeson

A Dark Age?  That’s an interesting thought.  And apathy would be the cause?

‘Hatred’ seems like such a strong word but it does seem as though a lot of people are busy hating other people.  Did you know that using the word ‘hate’ affects your liver?  Imagine how your liver would feel if you went around focusing your attention on hating others.  Not good.

So how do we make sure we are focused on the energy of the Light, on Love?  Do we have to go back to the days of flowers in our hair and bring back the flower children of the 60s?  OK, so some of us wouldn’t have to dip back too far in our own lives to find those children of the 60s, but is that what we’re being called to do?

I don’t think so.  I believe that within each of us there is Light.  Each heart wants to Love.  Each mind wants to explore, to delve into ideas, to be creative.  Each spirit wants to grow.  So if that is what is inside every human being, how do we get distracted?  By that something that is just beyond our reach, the next thing that we can reach for.  For some, it’s something tangible.  For others, it’s more ephemeral, but there’s something outside our reach that is drawing us even if we’re not sure what ‘it’ is.

And so we become focused on acquiring and forget to be present in the current moment.  We forget that human beings are connected to each other just by sharing the same air on the same planet at the same moment in history.  We forget that the energy of Love allows us to solve problems from a place where all possibilities exist, a place of expansion.  Have you experienced those moments of connection, of expansion, when you listen to a news story?  For example, some miners were trapped in a Chilean mine for 2 months and the whole world focused attention on their safety, on the families that stood waiting for them to be rescued.  People didn’t think about differences but about how they would feel if it were their loved one trapped in that mine.  The rescue was watched by millions around the world and cheered by all.  What an amazing thing that the whole world can look at that situation and bring people to a sense of connectedness with people who are different but who are just people, just like people everywhere.  THIS is what the power of the Light can manifest.  This is the power of Universal Love.

Do you ever find yourself saying, “I hate [whatever, whoever]?”   Do you think you can become conscious of your use of the word ‘hate’ and change it?  Instead of “I hate mushrooms” maybe you could say, “I prefer not to eat mushrooms.”  After all, what did a mushroom ever do to you?  Or, “I hate it when people are late for appointments” could become “I wish people were on time but, if they’re late, I always carry something to do, like make notes or read a book.”

Catch yourself energizing hatred in the world.  Are there groups of people that you don’t Love?  Do you really need to ‘hate’ them?  Are there folks that you disagree with?  Do you really need to ‘hate’ them?  As a society, we used to be able to ‘agree to disagree.’  Let’s return to that energy and allow others to believe differently without invoking the energy of ‘hate’ around the situation.  We don’t have to love what someone is saying but we can love that spark of Light that we know is inside them.

If we keep our thoughts and energy focused on Light, there won’t have to be another Dark Age!

MUSE-INGS: How many times do we need to hear: “Love yourself.”?

Whenever there is a message about loving yourself, I wonder how many times we need to hear this!  Love yourself.  No matter what messages you receive, no matter what someone else believes and tries to get you to believe, no matter what has happened in the past, no matter what you have done – forgive yourself and love yourself.

Sometimes people hear this message and dismiss it because people do bad things, therefore they must be evil people.  And I am not such a Pollyanna that I believe there is no evil in the world.  But  I learned an important message decades ago during my first retreat with Dr. Bernie Siegel.  He had us all imagine we were holding a tiny newborn baby, looking into that innocent face.  We all felt a wave of Love.  Then he told us that that baby had grown up.  Where is the Love?

We judge others.  Let’s admit that.  Some of us try very hard not to do this, but, at some level, we do it, even unconsciously.  And once we are in judgment it is difficult to find the Love.

This kind of Love is not conditional on behavior that meets our standards.  No one must work hard to earn this Love.  There is nothing to do that changes someone from unlovable to lovable.  Every human being on Planet Earth was once that tiny, innocent baby, lovable because it was born.  Sometimes, when someone has done something that hurts us, it is hard to remember that we once loved them or that they were once that lovable baby.  This kind of Love is a decision, not a sweet emotion or infatuation.  This deep Love comes from a place within us that knows the truth of our very existence – that we are timeless, spiritual beings who are having an experience of Life on Earth.  When we remember who WE are then we are free to share Love with others.

All Love starts with Self Love.  Really listen to that statement.  All Love starts with Self Love.  The Self within you is the radiant presence of the Divine, your connection to the Source in the Universe, to Spirit.  Self Love starts here.  And this kind of Love demands that you accept yourself, with all your warts and foibles and the lessons you are in the process of learning.  That Self within loves you unconditionally!

Accept that you are lovable.  To believe otherwise is the true self-absorption of the ego!  Love your Self.  Then love yourself.  Do you want to change?  Love yourself enough to do so.  What parts of you do you accept no matter what others say or believe about you?  Accept them.  This is only about YOU and your eternal Self.  Others don’t define who you are at your core.  You are lovable because you ARE.

THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: Learn the Lessons and Love Yourself

Dear Ones,
What are you listening to in your Life today?  What kind of music?  What kind of nature sounds?  What kind of outside noises?  But, most importantly, what kind of messages are you ingesting in your daily Life?

If you watch a lot of TV, you are being bombarded by messages, from newscasters, from commercials, from people who express opinions that may or may not be based on fact and intellectual analysis.  Whatever you read, whether the newspaper or a novel, a non-fiction or a textbook, contains messages that are being absorbed by your psyche and often accepted unconsciously as true for you.

The most insidious messages are being accepted by your unconscious mind because they come from someone you trust, even someone you love and whom you thought loved you.  Parents are comparing their children to others with the subtle message that their child is not good enough.  Superiors at work are giving out criticisms thinking they are focusing on getting the job done but the employee is hearing, ‘I can’t do anything right.’  Teachers have a pet who gets the best grades and other students think they’re not lovable because they aren’t as academically successful.  The list goes on and on.  And sometimes the saddest case is when a life partner criticizes or ‘puts down’ their partner, implying, again, that they are not ‘good enough’ or that they are ‘unlovable.’

What messages have you embraced that are not about your inherent goodness but you believe them because someone you trust or trusted in the past told you they were true?  How many religious leaders have told their congregations that they are not worthy, not good enough?  Have you ever taken the time to examine what you do and do not believe about yourself?  Have you ever asked yourself WHY you believe some things that you believe?

Today is the day to start examining your thoughts, your beliefs about yourself and who you really are.  You are a person with a big heart.  You have a good mind.  You are worthy of being treated well, by all those with whom you come into contact.  You are lovable, just the way you are today.  There is nothing that you need to do to earn anyone else’s love.  You can give love to others.  You can figure out the solutions you need or you can ask for help, which you deserve to receive.  You have always been this way.  You have always deserved to be loved, so if Life has given you experiences that contradict this, then examine those experiences and ask yourself if they were about the other person and not about you. [They were.]

That little baby who was you a few years ago is still as lovable as he or she was then.  That baby lives within you.  If you are resisting these words today, then get in touch with that tiny, innocent baby and love it.  Grow that love up to today.  Everything you have done or been in the past has helped you to grow into the person you are today.  Accept that with gratitude.  Every behavior you have exhibited, every choice you have made, has helped you to evolve.  If you are feeling stuck, then examine your current situation for the learning that is there.  There is ALWAYS something to learn, so if you are stuck it is because you haven’t finished what you need to experience.

Forgive yourself for the choices that you have made.  You did the best you could in that moment.  Knowing what you know now you might make a different choice, but in that moment you made a choice that brought you lessons, albeit painful ones sometimes.  Forgive others.  This does not mean that you must believe that what has harmed you is acceptable and it does not mean that you must stay in relationship with people who have or continue to hurt you.  But to hold onto anger and unforgiveness harms you without resolving the issue or, indeed, having anything to do with the other person.  Forgiving others means deciding that you will no longer give them power over your own Life.  You choose now to release whatever strings they have been holding that continue to affect your Life.  Let them go to learn their own lessons – then you can be complete with yours.

Learn the lessons and love yourself in the process.  Life is really as simple as that!

And so it is.

MUSE-INGS: Lift your vibration and be a blessing!

Sometimes it’s confusing when we hear about ‘raising our vibration’ or ‘frequencies’ or other terms referring to measuring energy.  People seem to throw these ideas around without definition or clarification.

Let’s look at the ‘frequency’ of something or someone.

Have you ever walked into a room and the occupants try to put on a happy face but you can sense that they have been fighting?  Have you every felt someone’s anger even when their answer to your question about what’s wrong was, ‘Nothing’?

These situations are samples of times when you have picked up on the ‘vibes’ in the room, the vibrations created by the frequency of the emotion in the room.  Just as a radio dial has numbers on it that indicate the frequency of a particular radio station, so your internal ‘radio’ has a set of frequency measurements that identify for you what the frequency is that you are sensing.  The smile might tell you visually that everything is fine but your internal sensors are picking up on the energy that maybe things are not so fine.

Now magnify this example to everyone on the planet at a certain time.  If everyone is feeling angry at once, the energy ramps up and it doesn’t feel very good, does it?  If, however, everybody ramped up the energy of Love, can you imagine how good that would feel?  If everyone in your vicinity were projecting the energy of Love at you, what would that feel like?  Pretty darned good.

So now take this and extrapolate to Planet Earth and all her inhabitants.  How would the Planet feel if everyone were thinking thoughts of Love and radiating that energy outward?   Bringing it closer to home, how would your family feel if everyone were radiating the frequency of Love in your home?  Now, since you cannot control everyone in your home, what if you were radiating Love and you were the only one doing so?

YOU could have a positive impact on your own home by radiating Love, even if your spouse or kids bug you or the dog is misbehaving or you are worried about paying the bills.  Simply thinking thoughts of Love raises your vibration and everyone around you can feel it.

It is most important that you focus yourself on your role in raising the energy of Planet Earth in these days.  Start within yourself and raise your own vibration with thoughts of Love.  Radiate this outward and you will see a shift in the people around you.  When they shift to a higher vibrational frequency the impact will start to be felt by the environment – plants and animals and the very air around you all.  (Remember the room where the people had been fighting and how that air held memories of the lower vibrations?)

Everyone who is alive today is being called to lift the vibration of Mother Earth.  Join in this effort by starting to raise your own vibration.  Just for a moment NOW think of the energy of Love and how good it feels.  A momentary thought like this will lift your own vibration and will radiate around you to be a blessing to all!

THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: Help others and raise your vibration!

Dear Ones,

We wish you to be a blessing to those around you.  Do you think of yourself as such?  When you think of helping others, do you do it from a position of humility or do you consider your help from a position of pride?

Many people think that helping others is something that charities do formally.  Oh, they might occasionally hold a door for someone else but they don’t look for the extra help that they can offer.  It is one thing to hold the door for the person behind you but do you look around to see if there is another way to help or another person for whom you might wait while holding the door?  Do you notice the people around you who could use a little bit of help just to make things easier?

The sensitive ones among you live this way, totally aware of those around them and what help can be offered at any time.  Think of being sensitive to others’ needs as being tuned into the vibrations that another person is sending out.  If someone is struggling to carry a load of packages and drops one, they are signaling, in an energetic way, that they need to have the package picked up.  If no one offers to help then they must do so awkwardly and then try to regain their equilibrium.  If, on the other hand, you pick up on their distress and reach down for them to pick up their dropped package, you send out a vibration of Love, as shown by your assistance to another human being.

Notice that we did not say that you must feel ‘love’ for that other human being.  Rather, your assisting them comes from a heart-level vibration that is spreading the frequency of Love in the world.  Does this make sense to you?

Every action, every emotion, every thought has its own vibration.  There are very different frequencies associated with emotions such as Love and Hate.  There are very different frequencies associated with Helping and Ignoring.  The energy that comes from the Heart, such as Love and Helping energies, is of a higher vibratory frequency than the energy of Hate or Ignoring.  Your task as a person who is evolving human consciousness is to lift your own vibration at every opportunity.  The question to ask yourself is, ‘How can I raise my own vibration?’

Are you aware that every time that you make a choice to do something that comes from your Heart you are helping to raise the consciousness of all humanity?  As you act within the energy of higher frequencies you modify your own energetic field to resonate outwardly that higher vibration.  Everyone and everything around you benefits from this higher vibration.

Why is this important at this time?  YOU are important at this time because you are learning to lift your own vibratory frequency level and, thus, have an impact on your environment.  The natural environment that surrounds you needs this assistance.  The people around you need for you to do this.  Even situations, especially emotionally- charged situations, need for a higher vibration to lift them from the mire in which they reside.

In the 21st Century much of Planet Earth, including her inhabitants, suffers from neglect (at best) and intentional damage (at worst).  The environment is struggling to gain equilibrium just as the person who must awkwardly juggle packages while reaching down to retrieve a dropped package is struggling to do this alone.  The Planet needs your assistance and there are many other people in your environment who also need your help.

Think about ways in which you can help the Planet and her people, the oceans and ocelots, the forests and the fauns.  All about you there are vibrations of neglect and disharmony and distress and damage.  YOU, however, have the power to counteract these vibrations by radiating outwardly the energy vibration of LOVE.

Does it sound as if we are describing the so-called ‘tree huggers’ and ‘hippies’ of days gone by?  This is not what we are suggesting here, although there is nothing wrong with the message of Love that these folks shared. The important thing for you to understand is that everything is energy, everything has a level of vibration associated with it and we call this vibration that thing’s ‘frequency.’  All of humanity, all of the creatures on and in Planet Earth and the very planet itself are experiencing the opportunity to be lifted up in vibratory frequency so that Love can radiate through the world and other, lower vibrations, like Hate, can be transformed.  Radiate Love from your own heart center without judgment, without pride, without worrying about how it is being received and you will be doing your work to lift the entire Planet to a higher vibratory frequency.

In future messages we will talk about how important this is for the future on Planet Earth.

For now, send out Love.

And so it is.

THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: Reach for the Joy!

Dear Ones,

Be joyful today!  Fill your heart and your life with Joy!

Are you concerned that you are not feeling very joyous today?  Are you thinking about your problems or all the issues with which you are wrestling?  Is your ‘to-do’ list taking over your day?

We would tell you that Joy is not something that happens to you.  Joy is not what you feel when everything in your life is going smoothly or going your way.  Completing your ‘to-do’ list does not bring Joy into your life.  YOU bring Joy into your life!

Think about that last sentence.  Joy is not an accident, so you must bring Joy into your own life.  Please do not equate Joy with Happiness for they are not the same.  Happy, sad – these are reactions to what is happening to you or to the circumstances in which you find yourself.  Joy is a sense within yourself that you are connected to the Source of all Love in the Universe, that your Life Plan is unfolding as it should, and that you are connected with your Life Purpose and are living in consonance with this.  Joy resides within you and is always available to you although, at times, you might forget its existence.

Seek Joy because you wish to express it in your outer life.  Find the Joy that is available to you.  And to do this you must first learn to go inside yourself.

Many people fear reaching into their innermost regions because they are afraid of what they will find there.  It is easy to create such a busy life that there is no time to go inside.  It is easy to focus on other people or work or tasks to accomplish before taking the time to do what is called ‘inner work.’  But we would tell you to ask yourself if all the ‘busyness’ is a distraction from your real work.  Ask yourself if you are using other people or work or tasks on your ‘to-do’ list to avoid going inside yourself to do the work required for your own growth.  If you are honest with yourself and you realize that you have been avoiding ‘inner work’ then now is the time to commit to yourself that you will make the time to do it.

For the reward is Joy.  Are you afraid to experience the pain of processing emotionally distressing events from your past?  Are you worried that doing ‘inner work’ will open a floodgate of emotion that you are ill-prepared to handle?  You do not need to do this work alone.  There are others who can assist you on the inner journey to Joy.  And not all processes/techniques require that you feel again the emotions that are within.  Use those emotions as signals that there is something for you to learn and learn the lesson.  The necessity for the emotion then goes away.

Try meditation as a way to go inside to find Joy for your life.  Some are afraid that meditation is a difficult thing to learn or that they are not doing it correctly.  Meditation can be simply stilling an analytical mind long enough to allow a connection to one’s inner being without the distraction of active thinking.  A set of slow breaths can be a meditation.  This does not need to be a formal practice nor does it need to take a long time.  But the benefits of a break in your day to connect with the Inner You can be great.

When you are forgetting that there is Joy deep within you, it might seem more difficult for you to work to access that Joy, but the important thing to remember is that you do not need to seek Joy from an external source.  Joy does not come through substances, people, circumstances, money or success.  Joy does not come and go with the vagaries of daily activity.  Joy is a solid constant within you and all you need to do is to remember that it lives within and that you can always have access to Joy.  Reach inside to find the Joy that lives there.  No matter what is happening in your day, pause and reach for Joy.  Remember that you are always connected to the Source of Love in the Universe.  Remember the connection, reach inside and find the Joy.

May your day be filled with the Joy that awaits you!

And so it is.
