GREETINGS:

Delighted to be connecting with you again.

What a glorious year we have in store. Happy 2007 and the Year of the Dolphin.

Big changes abound everywhere. The level of change and growth we've personally experienced has been exceedingly powerful.
Most of our websites are being upgraded as well. I apologize for any confusion the changes may cause prior to their completion.

May you be blessed in the radiance of the One. May you find joy, inspiration, and upliftment in these words.

Close your eyes for a moment. Take a few slow deep breaths and center yourself. Allow your Higher Self and guides to use this communication to assist you. Feel their loving, joy-filled, healing energy being poured into you and your world in this moment. Find something you are grateful for. From that space, read these words and allow them to bless both you and your life.

TIPS FOR THE TRAIL - Guidance for your Spiritual Journey by Debbie "Takara" Shelor

Over the years I've learned alot about the spiritual path - what you might call your personal and/or spiritual growth or evolution. These are a couple of very handy tips I've learned and begun to use recently. The first is from my dear friend and busines partner, Millie Stefani a.k.a. Anneah. It goes like this:

Whenever you have made a breakthrough, released something significant, healed something important, you aren't done until you have completed the following step. You need to say out loud "Please update the Akashic records to reflect this change." This helps you not fall back into old patterns because your records have been upgraded. Millie has always done this. I have only recently begun to recognize how important it is.

The tip came to me directly. As you probably know, I dowse often. I've created a new dowsing sheet that I'll make available to you soon. Anyway, like many others I often use the words "Is it in my highest and best interest to _____?" I am looking for a yes or no answer from my inner guidance system. Recently I received (was inspired through inner knowing) the following. Instead of using those words, I need to now use "Is it part of my Supreme Divine Plan to _____?" The answers tend to be different using those much more empowering words.

Try this yourself and blessings to our journey.

9 FIRES OF TRUTH - FIRE NUMBER SIX with Raven

Hi, I know it has been awhile since you have heard from me and the 9 Fires. We are alive and well. This article talks about the 6th Fire Compassion. Compassion is something we all need in our lives and we hope the people around us have it too. With Compassion we treat ourselves and others with pride and dignity. For me it is a lesson as you will see later. Have a wonderful and happy New Year. May all of your dreams become reality.

Compassion

Prayer: I have passion for life and all the beauty that it brings. From this passion grows compassion for all living things.

Crystal: Tigers Eye

Color: Golden Brown

Animal: Tiger

Meditation: Sitting in or near your Peace Wheel focus your attention on the direction of the South West. Call in your Spirit Guides and Master Teachers. Call upon the Spirit of Tiger to show you passion for life. Tiger is a powerful friend, he walks the earth with no fear. He has a passion for life that extends over into a compassion for all living things. Ask Tiger to show you how to live your life with passion. As you begin to live in this way you begin to recognize the sacredness of all life. You begin to honor all living beings. As you expand into this awareness you become compassionate for you recognize the importance of all life and how we live in harmony and balance together, all part of the same creation. Ask Tiger to walk with you and show you the way. Pick up the Tigers Eye and open to the vision and see the world as the Tiger does. All stones are considered our elders for they have been in existence for much longer than we have. Honor them for their wisdom, trust in the teachings that you receive.

Always end your meditation in a prayer of thanks to all of those who have assisted you and for all that you have received.

This one is a challenge for me. I do not seem to be very good at recognizing how people will react to my decisions and actions. I have a disconnection with feelings and do not understand the need to get all emotional about everything. This is good in that I can make decisions with clarity and detachment. This somehow leads to people getting hurt. I know I can not control how others react to my choices however I could be more considerate when dealing with others. How to create a sense of compassion for others is very important in interpersonal relationships. Trying to put yourself in the other persons shoes and to feel out how to deal with the situation that will be least hurtful is a challenge, at least for me. To make decisions and take actions that are my truth is vital to my own wellbeing. However to do so in a kind and considerate way is also important.

Live your truth and do it with kindness, everything else will just fall into place. Have a great day and remember to treat others as you would like to be treated. A good friend of mine keeps reminding me of this golden rule.

Thank you.
Raven

WHAT'S UP ON PLANET EARTH by Karen Bishop (with permission)

January 5 , 2007                                                  

OOOOOOOO-WHEE!

The What's Up On Planet Earth? energy alerts are offered several times per month by viewing them here. Your financial support makes it possible to continue offering information on this website free of charge. Please make a donation. 
       
Greetings!
If you've had an experience within the last month of being totally flattened, feeling immense physical or emotional “pain,” or simply collapsing with no apparent ability to do much of anything, you are right in perfect alignment with the most enormous and incredible shift I have seen yet within our on-going spiritual evolutionary process.
 
Each of us is being affected in relation to our weak areas…some are experiencing immense head and sinus colds, severe ear aches, others vomiting, some with intense body aches, and even outbreaks of canker sores. All in all, we are experiencing an immense internal shift, and even though it may manifest as a very painful process, it is moving huge amounts of energy.
 
This enormous shift is bringing much together in unity. Many who were vibrating at lower levels than others are now joining the higher realms. It is as if everything has suddenly joined together and what a glorious sight it is. A more grand blending I have yet to see. Unity is the theme here, and it will continue on.
 
So all encompassing is this shift, that it is creating “collapsing” energy.
Becoming flattened to the point of not being able to function is a necessary part of the process. What is collapsing are the old boundaries and the lower vibrating energies that created separation. These were simply an illusion that we believed was real.
 
As we vibrate higher, these illusions are dissipated, broken apart, and dispersed back into a lower vibrating reality within a part of the cosmos where we no longer reside. The entire month of December served to move out and push these energies up and out. This shift was extremely deep and really moved much that was deep within us. For me, it felt like a bulldozer pushing great amounts of dense energy to another location.
 
Many, many have been bumped up to higher levels of reality through this shift. Like outstretched arms of loving higher vibrational energy, so much has been embraced and welcomed into this new space of wholeness and unity.
 
These intense shifts can create sleepless nights as well. And you may not feel like doing anything at all. All the motivation you can muster up cannot seem to get you to accomplish a thing. You may not want to do a thing, and may not know what you even want to do anyway! Remember, this is a great shift.
 
But as with most shifts, when we are in the throes of the rotor rooter cleansing and experiencing the great depths of emotion and pain, we can then reach higher states of love and compassion. Pain can always create higher states of being. When we come to find that pain actually serves to create a greater connection to our higher selves and to Source, we can then learn to embrace it when it arrives.
 
And when the deep pain and cleansing phase is over, we are then residing in a higher state of being and it can feel glorious, while our values have once again shifted to a more elevated state. And this is precisely when you may feel like you no longer want to do a thing.
 
Much left during this shift. The old denser ways of being and the old and denser structures of survival are now holding very little energy and power. They are literally hanging on by a thread. And along with this, we are more and more able to see the higher aspects of our brothers and sisters. As we let go of more and more of our own lower vibrating selves, we can then see others from a state of love and understanding, because we are not seeing things according to “us,” or how we are personally affected.
 
We no longer see through a filter of our mis-perceptions or “issues.” It is no longer all about us. It is now much more about all of us . We are uniting now with others and we may not even know why. This is because our souls are at the helm and they always know what they are doing. Being in this new space can create a sense of wanting to serve others and the planet as much as possible.
And this is the way of a higher vibrating being.
 
When the dust finally clears from this massive shift, we will find that most of us are now in the same place. This shift has brought us together to a place where the majority will now reside. In this way, all others will have no choice but to be swept up into this higher vibrating space, if they have chosen to stay.
 
The influence of the majority will affect everyone and everything. And although there will still be some at different levels of reality and perception, the opportunity is very intact for anyone to join in these higher ways of being.
 
I had a long term substitute teaching job many years ago with a 6 th grade class. This was an incredible loving and bonded class of caring students, and I was very blessed. One day a new student arrived. He naturally assumed the traditional role of goofing off, disrespecting the teacher, and rebelling in an insecure way. This lasted for one day. Because he had entered an environment of a group of amazing students, he had to then assume their ways, and it almost seemed a relief to him! This different energy of a higher vibrating class had surrounded him and transformed and allowed him to be a higher vibrating being.
 
And this is how it will be because of our latest shift. Giving love, compassion, and understanding to others will immediately bring them into this new reality. They will now be open to a new way of being through this energy. Expect it to be so and it will. Expect miracles to occur and they will. Expect something different and it will be.
 
These are times of amazing manifestations and experiences. And we can take advantage of these times and fully utilize this miracle energy.
 
As we begin to come out of the shifting phase, we will find that we are once again wildly excited about life. We will feel much lighter. Much lighter. We have let go of so much density. But this is simply our spiritual evolutionary process in action, and always has been. And it will continue on for a very long time as we progress up the rungs of the evolutionary ladder of expansion into the higher realms.

Wishing you Heaven in your heart, starlight in your soul, and miracles in your life in these miraculous times.

Until next time,
Karen
