Vanya and Guides to Me -- December 23 & 27, 2011

Dearest, Sweet Child of the Universe,

Know that We provide for you each and every day.  It is the power of God that sustains and cares for you, your body, your mind and your heart.  God your Father, Goddess your Mother, cradle you as you carry on with your daily activity.  Where else does everything come from?  The Universe is THE MOST abundant place and you are a part of it.  Ergo, you are the embodiment of abundance.  Each soul, in human form or otherwise, is their fullest expression of Source.  Each soul, for the asking, is well-maintained according to their preference.  Tell us what you want, how you want it, when you would like it and in which capacity.  Your power to imagine is the key to manifestation.  

Child,

The ego mind is slowly receding.  The time will emerge, the time is close, when you will have continued and  unbroken blissfulness.  Yes, you will be with your beloved on Earth.*  Slowly and steadily you bring the Light energy toward you.  You want to hear that you bring it "down", but that is not purely accurate, because Light is all-pervading.  But you do succeed in bringing it "toward" you -- as it surrounds you all-ways, and is there for the asking.  The hesitation, the holdup, is merely your own willingness  to hear or listen or see or know.  Any of these is correct.  Communion is possible, as a choice, indeed.

You wonder, and even worry a little bit, about putting it all out there, as you say, about exposing yourself.  But what you are exposing is of the Light -- do not forget that!  The path is expanding and by extension you are processing more Light energy, and so your outlet is your writing.  Put aside small concerns about what the world thinks.  At this advanced stage of your progress, you worry about that now?  (giggling)  What you have read today you must burn into your conscious thought, which was that it is ego that makes us think we need to do better.  You are good, better, best.  (Inside joke)

You are waiting for your expansion, this is your birthright and this is the Law.  Yes, that burning sensation in your chest is us dancing about the fire of old ideas.  Return not to contracting -- move forward.  It is very exciting for you to think like this.  You become buoyant and light-Source-hearted in the anticipation of your place in the new paradigm.  After all, you helped create it.  

Much love, yours in Truth,

Vanya

Unity Consciousness: Balancing the Planet With Our Intention

 “Strange is our situation here upon earth. Each of us comes for a short visit, not knowing why, yet sometimes seeming to a divine purpose. From the standpoint of daily life, however, there is one thing we do know: that we are here for the sake of others.” -Albert Einstein

I always loved the idea of "One for All and All for One".  It is a genuine expression of how we could, at our best, live our life on the planet with equality and balance.  The whole is the total sum of the parts, indisputably.  And by extension, we, as individuals, are part of this u-n-I-v-e-r-s-e.

The Tai Chi for Balance & Health

We are a part of this Big World.  "We are all connected", or, "what you do to one you do to the many", or, "everything you do comes back to you", are phrases that I intellectually understood but didn't KNOW.  Couldn't experience or feel, so the idea drifted around, always sort of bothering me; it sounded nice but a bit big to really wrap my mind around. 

Moving into 2012, I am seeing that living in isolation, is not healthy, desirable, fun or productive.  What is healthy, spiritually and physically, is thinking, remembering really, that I am part of the whole.  That what I do makes a difference to you, and what you do affects me, even if you are unaware of it.  When I am conscious of my actions, and that includes thought, which is the first action, then they take on a whole other dimension.  The meaning of what I do changes for me -- it goes from being self-centered to be part of a unified field.

                   The New Age, the Ascension, is calling for a new paradigm of existence:  the Planet is literally breaking out of it's old form, shedding it's old skin.   And we are right there along with her because this, our physicality, comes from her; she has given it to us -- literally.  We have outgrown the old way of surviving based on fear, separation, selfishness and scarcity.  This is how we are shedding our old "skin".  In fact survival skills, or the need for them, will become outmoded as we move into ascension, because they are based on fight or flight mechanisms.   I keep on hearing (by that I mean I keep on reading, which I interpret as hearing, as in a lesson) that we really need to start sharing what we have, giving of our time, lending a hand, or in some way reach out and let someone else know you are there.   By doing this we can actually assist in propelling Mother Earth through her Ascension more easily, more quickly, and that's good news for us.  That's because when we do that we create an incredibly loving and benevolent vibration far beyond what we can imagine.  Acts of selflessness increase and elevate our own chi; when we extend ourselves selflessly toward any part of Creation we also infuse just a little more light into the world!

After all, the sooner Ascension gets here, the sooner we can enjoy it!  And whatever can help my Mother, I am all for.  My Feng Shui master, Professor Lin Yun, always told us to do one good deed everyday.  That's all, just one.  A selfless, simple act of kindness directed toward someone else.  (Note:  That is a tough one if you have a family for whom you are already doing everything.   So perhaps that act of kindness would be more for someone or something outside of our daily routine, directed toward those not in our world who don't take us for granted, necessarily).  Yesterday I made a sign for someone to use in their store window just so they can advertise a service they offer, which patrons did not otherwise know.  It was fun.  I enjoyed making the little sign, learned something about clip art and "paint brushes", and the person to whom I gave it was pleased.  And the important thing is that I wanted to do it, regardless of how it was received.  This is a small example, but it illustrates where our collective consciousness is headed.  The new paradigm exemplifies Unity Consciousness and an awareness that we are not separate from one another, and by extension, we are not separated from the Earth.  I think about it in those terms every so often, and interestingly, I am starting to get it.  The question to myself goes something like:  "How is that staggering homeless alcoholic connected to me?  How is the tree connected to me?  How is the cow on his way to the slaughter house connected to me?"  I can't answer that intellectually.  But I can answer that emotionally.  How does it feel to be connected, why should I be bothered concerning myself with it -- it is, after all, beyond my scope.  But we are told that it is just a thin "veil" that separates us from the pure knowledge, the knowing, that we are ONE.  I would love nothing more that to tear the veil aside and get a picture of that!

But I can't, not yet anyway.  What I can do, however, is not judge the bum on the street, or I can clean the litter that's near the tree, or maybe stop eating meat for the greater good of the animal kingdom.  And if I do all or any of these, what I ask myself is,  "How does it make me feel"?  It makes me feel connected, it makes me feel happy and it makes me feel love.  These acts of kindness and goodness remove me from the petty, self-centered and ego-driven thoughts, not by glossing over the discomfort with gossip or electronic gadgets or an addictive indulgence, but by the simple sense of otherness.  This is one way I am going to remove the veil, one good deed at a time.

So the thought, the intention begins within, internally, a very Yin energy, which then is extended outwardly, Yang motion, by following through as action.

The concept of balance entered my consciousness when I started working with Barbara Barnett, about 5 years ago.  She works, among other things, with balancing the hemispheres of our brain.  What a concept -- because I didn't realize mine were our of balance!  Every now and then I would go to her and get my brain hemispheres balanced and feel great.  This started the ball rolling -- the grand idea of balance was in my head. (Ideally equally on both sides of the noggin.)  When I was speaking with Vanya not long ago, I asked what was it that made Feng Shui work the way it does?  He pontificated on a few points and finally said, above everything that makes Feng Shui work, it was balance the created what a space needs. Huh, that was not what I expected to hear, and yet it makes perfect sense.

The subtlety of balance, the subtlety of thought, the subtlety of energy from ourselves to the world, and back again --  all have the inherent movement of Yin-Yang.  When the qualities are out of balance we have worry, hoarding mentality, conflict, stress, etc.  When it's balanced, we have harmony, compassion, generosity of spirit, peace.  The Ascension is the planet's movement toward  balancing the Yin-Yang of her body, her heart, her soul and her children. 

Looking Past the Door That is Opening to the Year 2012

A wonderful and upbeat message from SaLuSa.  Disclosure is imminent, and we have nowhere to go but forward in our Ascension, and quickly, as very soon the presence of the Galactics will be revealed.  He assures us, and has been saying right along, that plenty of help will be made available, but we must remain aware and informed.  The mission will commence with a month, and we are entering an era where we labor less and enjoy the Light more!

SaLuSa, December 16, 2011

Faith can really move mountains if sufficient of you get together, and as you progress through the final year to Ascension, it will become more powerful and way beyond you present ability. Yes, Dear Ones you are in for quite a ride, but one that is very desirable and will fulfil your wishes to ascend. There will be a total mix of surprises, so be prepared to reconsider any long held beliefs. Some experiences will involve the Earth changes and depending upon where you reside, will determine how much you become involved. Most likely the known earthquake areas will be at the centre of such activities, but as you know the repercussions are usually felt some way from it. Whatever happens precautions will be taken to protect you, but it is your responsibility to look ahead and also be prepared.

At a conscious level there is a separation taking place as those of the Light are continually increasing their vibrations, while those held in the lower vibrations are often oblivious to the opportunity that is presenting itself. It would be true to say that if they are subconsciously trying to achieve a greater understanding of the purpose of life, they will be helped. There will certainly be many announcements that will make it clear as to what is taking place, and our involvement in it. Our intervention is needed, and will give the answers to your immediate problems that are to be solved. We are speeding up the final moves that our allies are taking, to present us with the ideal opportunity to press ahead with our plan to reveal the truth about us.

Use your coming celebrations to give yourself a deserved break from the everyday problems that occupy your minds. Think positive and live in the Light that you have created around yourself. Be of cheer and feel the joy that comes with the realisation that after what seems a long arduous experience, you are looking past the door that is opening to the year 2012. There you see scintillating Light that shows the path to completion in all its glory, and you will be riding on the crest of that wave. All is prepared and the Galactic Federation has taken up its positions, so as to carry out the final stage of what has been a remarkable mission so far. For us with our extended life cycle, we have followed your progress for thousands of years, and share your excitement at what is soon to be revealed to you. You are to get to know us in a true relationship as your Brothers and Sisters of Light. To that end we will commence showing ourselves to you, and meeting with those who have a main role to play with us in the near future.

The dark Ones continue to be a nuisance but their power is very much reduced, and without their many underground bases have little to fall back on. We shall continue to take out those that pose a threat to the Earth and its people. Before long they will have to admit to supporting a lost cause, as the structure and command has been severely impaired. Be assured we are well aware who is behind the attempts to cause us problems, and they will not delay our plan that will soon manifest into your lives. Now time is so short we will be looking to fully start our mission within the next month, as we are being urged to commence as soon as possible. Be assured that it will be underway once the bits and pieces are in place.

Nothing that you have experienced so far is going to measure up to the coming period. You are entering a new era where many of the labours of life will no longer be handled by Man. Those that can be carried out by automation will be given to robotic or computer programs. Only special needs will be carried out by Man, and even then they will be assisted by Automatons. Your place is to oversee the functions, ensuring that the goals are met within the time frame involved. The larger projects will be monitored from our ships, and some of you will come aboard for that purpose. Your time will eventually be taken up by creative work rather than the old ways of occupying yourself, and will be more productive. Working for the good of all people will become commonplace, as they realise the Oneness that brings them together is dependant of the sharing of Love and Light.

That feeling of desiring to come together will get stronger as time goes by, and there is already evidence of it as you act as one voice to overcome the denial of your rights. The impetus will continue to grow and there is no way anyone can stop it from achieving its aims. It is all part of the natural changes that result from the intense energies that encircle your Earth. None of you can avoid some reaction to them, and the Lightworkers will normally take them into their Being without any problems. However, those who have yet to awaken are becoming uncomfortable because of them, and confusion is likely to result.

Everything is about energy, because that it is ultimately what it is about, and it helps to understand what is happening now if you view it that way. The higher your vibrations the more you become a Being of energy, and lose that heavy feeling that exists with the lower vibrations. It also allows a greater freedom of movement through your creative powers of thought. You can for example change the appearance of your body at will, and appear to anyone exactly as you wish. It can be useful when you want to show yourself in such a way that you can be recognised. You have to bear in mind that you have been known in various guises through hundreds of lives. As we have recently mentioned, you will eventually have no need for form as you understand it for you will be a Being of Light.

The more you understand about existence in the higher realms, the more you will realise that your experience on Mother Gaia is far removed from whence you came. However, it has proved a most beneficial experience, and you knew that it would give you a most wonderful opportunity to advance your spiritual evolution, more quickly than you could otherwise have achieved. You have all faced the challenge of duality, and now so to say it is time to put your feet up and take a rest. Your experiences are now to be more in line with your expressed desires, and you choose what they are to be.

I am SaLuSa from Sirius, and pleased that we are so near to Disclosure, as it will allow so much information about us to be released. God Bless you All.

Thank you SaLuSa.
Mike Quinsey.

The Knowledge /Spirituality Area, Part I

     "Child, what is your mission now?  Write it down, define it, as we have helped you to do for some time now.  Know that you are our angel, a true cosmic citizen, one of us who has been planet-ed On Earth, your Mother Earth, to lead others to the beauty of Life Divine, Divine Truth, Divine Heart, Divine Existence.  Go forth and fulfill your mission that Mother has assigned you.  Worry not for your well being, your livelihood, as you [scribbled writing, something] it.  We will see to your necessities.  We would not leave you unattended or wanting for anything.  Have we ever?  What difficulties you knew were rendered more tolerable due to our intercession.  You've always known this. You never have to worry again about others of your species distracting you from your path -- the path which you have worked so hard to maintain and which is true to your heart.  You need not struggle anymore.  We surround you with our light which is not different from your light.  We are one." 

Conveyed to me by my Guides, December 13, 2011 *

When I moved into my apartment that I live in now, I wasn't much concerned with my spirituality corner.  Other areas of my life needed fixing more.  By that time in my life I had done a considerable amount of work on myself and had in fact put my daily spiritual practices on hold, knowing I would get back to it at some point.  Initially, not yet knowing how the Bagua figured in my space, I placed some books on a shelf in the area of knowledge/spirituality.  Shortly after that I got a hankering to study something.  Eventually, about six months after the move, I became extremely interested in Feng Shui, and learned what I could on my own.  (I had, however, used Feng Shui in my place of business.)

Fast forward, and I am on my way to my first day of class, in a car with veteran Feng Shui folk.  The discussion between them was about intention and the absolute importance of intention in implementing change with Feng Shui.  I said I disagreed to a certain extent.  I related how I placed books in my knowledge area and less than a year later, I was embarking on a whole new field of study, which I attributed to the simple act of inadvertently putting books on the shelf.

Again, as for the the placement of my apartment in the layout of the building in which I live, my place is located in the Knowledge/Spirituality Gua.  Quite fitting.  And just to take it a step further, the people who live in the wealth section have noticeable improved their lot in life since living there.  The family who live in the relationship/love area of the building have a terrific marriage and a large, loving family to show for it.  At the same time, the person who lives in the helpful people area has found someone who is pleasingly supportive of them.  Feng Shui often reflects what it is we need/want/are.  It's inherent our personal Chi.  Vibration attracts like vibration, that is the basis of the Law of Attraction, and it's always wonderful and exciting when we witness it right in front of us!  Ergo, we use Feng Shui to attract those things which we want -  we guide the Chi, always with gratitude, for the best outcome.

*I had been hanging out at Wholefoods for a while, sipping coffee and reading book three of the Arcturian Star Chronicles.  I went to refresh myself and was ready to leave.  As I walked back across the room, I saw the sun BEEEA-MING through the windows, so I figured, have a sit; who could resist the warm brightness on a chilly December morning?  I removed my coat, sat down and opened my book again.  At that moment I felt so free and unencumbered, so fortunate and blessed; I took in the simplicity and ease of the moment...  The passage I read was:

"We are not unaware that residing as you do in third dimensional time, it is difficult for even the most spiritually astute to attain light-magnitude transfer.  For this reason, embraced within the lines of this essay are vibratory imprints that, as you accept and activate them as truthful renditions of Self's higher knowledge, will further your awareness of Universal Order.  Cosmic data are interwoven as filaments of light within these essays [italics mine] to elevate your energy bodies (physical, auric, emotional, mental and so forth) to levels of resonation so refined that they are quite beyond the capabilities of the human mind to imagine".

Fascinated by this, I read the chapter again.  Before I could even finish it, I got an idea to write something.  Within seconds I knew something was "coming through" as it were.  How I know is that it feels like a transmission, and it bears paying attention to.  Thus, the above-quoted message.  And I was in the most ordinary of places -- I was not attempting to meditate, nor having a solitary stroll in nature;  I was across from the basketball courts on the corner of East Houston and Christie Street!

What Do You Mean the 3rd Dimension is Going Away?

I read this article this morning and, although lengthy,  found it to be one of the best and most succinct explanations of what it means to move into the higher dimensions, otherwise known as the Ascension Process.   Generally speaking, Planet Earth, Mother Gaia, is unequivocally evolving toward a higher consciousness, and She is taking us with Her.  I particularly like the part where he talks about our thoughts and how it is more important now than ever to monitor them to achieve the best possible outcome.  

Channeler: Jim Self  Monday, 5 December, 2011  As 2012 approaches there is an increasing urgency to this message because we’re all, literally, running out of time to play in the third dimension. In simple terms, the habit of thinking and feeling and behaving that we know of as the third dimension is going away. Everyone is shifting into a fourth dimensional consciousness and experience, and then into a fifth dimensional consciousness and experience. However, most people on the planet are not prepared for this Shift. But it is happening nonetheless, and for those who are unaware of what’s going on it will not be an easy or comfortable experience. Yet this can be a wonderful, enjoyable time as well. With some basic information about what the Shift is, and what “dimensions” are, and with simple tools to help manage our thoughts and feelings, everyone has the ability to evolve their consciousness and move gracefully and joyfully into these higher vibrational realms. If you don’t know what dimensions are, you are not alone. Most people playing the game of life as we know it in the third dimension are playing without a “rule book” that would explain what the game really is and how one can play it successfully. This article provides these basic, missing rules. It explains what the third, fourth, and fifth dimensions are, and why they are the most important consideration of your life right now. If you can understand the structure and play of these dimensions, you can begin to move fluidly through the unprecedented changes of this Shift without fear, without effort, without the tension and anxiety that is, for the most part, the daily habit of our lives. So, first of all, let me define what dimensions are not. Dimensions are not places or locations, and they are not a linear progression - 3, 4, 5, 6 - stacked up like pancakes.  And the 3rd dimension, or the 4th dimension, is not the chair you’re sitting in, or the walls that surround you, or even the Earth itself. That is form, which exists predominantly in the 3rd and 4th dimensions, and which will still be very much part of the play in the 4th dimension when the 3rd dimension is no longer an option. In general, dimensions are states of consciousness available to anyone who vibrates in resonance with the specific frequencies and opportunities available within each dimension. In a way, you could think of each dimension as a different game with a different set of rules as to what is possible and not possible for the beings that choose to play and create there. So what is the 3rd Dimension? The third dimension (3D) is a box of rigid beliefs, more or less, with a relatively inflexible set of rules and limitations. Most of us have been playing this game for lifetimes, so we tend to think it is the only game available to us.  But nothing could be further from the truth.  One of the rigid 3D beliefs that structure our lives – our thinking and feeling and actions - is linear time. Linear time is an optional belief and structure that let’s us “live” an experience of past and a future... and then we die.  Because this belief is the default assumption of mass 3D consciousness, and events seem to validate the belief, most of us think and act as if it’s true. But now we are all waking up from the illusion of this ubiquitous belief. And as you become more conscious, you realize that time in 3D is actually a time loop. What you experience in “the past” is pretty much what you put your attention on now, and you project that reality into “the future,” and therefore you experience it over and over again. So the structure of time is quite specific (and limiting) in the 3rd dimension, but your experience of time is quite different (and empowering) as you move into higher dimensions. Everything in a 3D consciousness is also very conditional. The concept of, for example, ‘unconditional love,’ does not exist in the 3rd dimension. If you experience ‘unconditional love’ or ‘unconditional peace’ you have actually moved into a fourth dimensional (4D) consciousness. You see, in the earth experience now, we have access to both 3rd and 4th dimensional consciousness, but most of us rarely step out of the well-grooved habits of 3D thinking and feeling. The 3rd dimension also offers no possibility of choice. We don’t choose our thoughts, feelings, and actions in every moment (that’s a skill of 4D and 5D), instead we react from unconscious beliefs and training to the people and situations that pop up in our space. Duality provides another rigid structure for 3D experience. Up/down. Left/right. Should/shouldn’t. Since the fall of Atlantis 12,500 years ago, we have become very fearful as a way of life, and in that fear we have learned to narrowly define good and bad, right and wrong, etc. Unconscious judgment permeates 3D thinking. Moreover, we perceive our 3D experience predominantly with the left hemisphere of the brain, home of the rational mind, and so we use only about 5 to 10 percent of the brain’s capacity to play the 3D game. Most of us suspect the rest of our brain must do something but have no idea what it actually does and how it functions. In fact, what the rest of the brain enables us to do is function in the higher 4th and 5th dimensions, and beyond. We already have the potential, all the necessary equipment and wiring, right now, to be fully conscious in all these dimensions. But our habits of thinking and feeling, grooved over many lifetimes, dumbs= us down and limit us to 3D experience.  Our left-brain, rational mind only knows what it knows, and doesn’t know what it doesn’t know, and it works tirelessly to keep us within a thin range of objective 3D thinking and possibilities.  And we, for the most part, have gone along for the ride. But no longer.  The increasing light energies and frequencies of the Shift are rewiring our brains to allow us access to a much wider range of information and possibility than is available in the 3rd dimension.  These light energies are preparing us for 4D and 5D experience, even as they are clearing the rigid 3D “rules” from our consciousness.  So what is the 4th Dimension? The “rules” of 4th dimensional consciousness provide an enhanced sense of ease, possibility, and capability than the structures of the 3rd dimension. Time in 4D, for example, is always present time. The focus is only ever this moment, what is happening right now. Our bodies already know only this present time; they can’t know ‘yesterday’ or ‘tomorrow,’ and as conscious beings in our natural alignment in the higher 4th dimension, we function absolutely in this “Now” of present time awareness and attention. When our attention point becomes present time awareness, choice becomes possible again. We can observe any and all events with a sense of detachment, merely as information to consider, and from that still, uncluttered platform we are then, and only then, free to choose our response. In the higher 4th dimension we become response-able. A concept and possibility known as paradox also becomes available in the present time of 4D consciousness. Paradox simply means that what was true just a moment ago may not be true right now. And what was false a moment ago may no longer be false. Instead of applying rigid, pre-existing definitions to any experience, we choose our preferred version and vibration in every moment. So as we move into 4D consciousness in present time, with the power of choice and response-ability, and the flexibility of paradox, the ability to alter the game to enhance our happiness and wellbeing becomes available. Interestingly, 4D consciousness will not be a long-term option after the Shift clears away the rigid structures of 3D consciousness. The 4th dimension is serving as an essential, but short-lived, stepping stone or vibrational platform from which we will all move into 5th dimensional consciousness. 5D is the target for Earth and all her inhabitants. The archangels have said the entire consciousness of Earth will be a fifth dimensional consciousness by the year 2015. But although the 5th  dimension is the target, the experience of the 4th dimension is essential.  We cannot enter 5D directly from 4D. All mental and emotional baggage from the 3rd dimension must be left at the door to the 4th  dimension, and we can only enter the 5th dimension after we have become masterful of our thoughts and feelings in the 4th dimension. Some assembly is required. So what is the 5th Dimension? The 5th dimension operates, to a great extent, in a completely differently fashion from the 3rd and 4th dimensions. Time in 5D is instantaneous time, meaning that everything (all possibilities) occurs in the same place at the same moment. In 5D, you focus your attention and the answer or experience is given to you exactly when and where you focus. Ask and you shall receive. In 5D, you don’t have to move or go anywhere for your answers or experiences; everything comes to you easily and effortlessly based upon the attention point and vibration you choose to hold in every moment. When you are vibrating in 5D consciousness, you don’t create with form as you do in the 3rd and 4th dimensions, you create with light and light patterns and light frequencies. You apply sound and color and geometric shapes. You consciously interact with the Creator and all the Beings of Light. In this heightened consciousness, the rational mind plays a very minimal role. It returns to a small, specific focus it was intended to have, namely the wellbeing of the physical body. But before we can move into our vibrational home that is 5D consciousness, we must first become masterful of the vibrations and possibilities of 4D consciousness. This is the focus of the Shift for most people as we head into the ever-accelerating events of 2012. So how do you become masterful in 4D consciousness? The Tools of 4D Present Time As I mentioned, 4D is the 'right now' of 'present time.' But present time actually has four different levels. In 2010, we all stepped into the third level. As we move 2012, we will step into the fourth, and final, level. In that level, when you think, ‘I would like an apple,’ the apple is going to appear in your hand.  Usually when I say that people get very excited. And it is exciting. However … there is a however. The vast majority of people on this planet are not prepared to be the masters of their every thought, feeling, and action in every moment. But there’s no option. It’s a required, baseline skill of higher 4D and 5D consciousness. One of the reasons the 3rd dimension was created was to provide a “playground” in which we each can practice and hone the vibration of our thoughts and feelings. To accomplish this, the 3D playground has a time buffer. Instead of ‘instant manifestation’ there is a time lag between the thought we think and the manifestation or experience of that thought.  For the most part, we are very sloppy with this buffer. Instead of focusing on what we want, and allowing this to unfold over time, we spew anger, frustration, boredom, worry, anxiety, blame, guilt, fear - all kinds of lower, disharmonic thoughts and feelings. We behave as if we can think and feel anything with impunity because we do not see the instantaneous results of our thinking. But no longer. As 3D linear time is collapsing into a single point of present time, the time buffer is collapsing too. We have less opportunity to practice being aware of our mental and emotional habits before what we think is what we get. This is a very big deal. Fortunately, some simple energy tools can help you manage your thoughts and emotions in every moment so that you can be prepared for the unprecedented opportunity and challenge of living and creating in present time in the higher dimensions. These basic energy tools are available for free on our website www.masteringalchemy .com but let me explain a few of them here by way of example. Allow the Shift to clear your unconscious thoughts & feelings In simple terms, the Shift is using one wave of light frequencies to clear away who we are not, and another wave to remind us who we are. The Shift knows where we’ve stored unwanted, unconscious habits of thought and reactionary emotion, and the light is clearing all this from our vibration. However, as these lesser thoughts and feelings are cleared, they will come into our awareness, and magnetize people and circumstances to us that mirror these chaotic energies. How do you handle these often-powerful energies when they appear.  You allow them. If you can simply observe them with a sense of detachment as they come up – knowing that they are just coming up to be cleared - they will clear quickly, and you won’t even remember what the fuss was all about. But if you grab hold and engage these chaotic thoughts and feelings, if you insist on feeling guilty or worrying, if you continue to argue that ‘I am not OK’ or ‘They are not OK,’ these energies will not be cleared from your space – and the Shift, as it accelerates ever faster, will become a very bumpy, very ‘not OK’ road for you. Remember most often what comes up is not even yours; it does not belong to you. Acknowledge it and know that it’s coming up to be cleared… forever. Take a couple of deep breaths, go for a walk, listen to music -- but turn your attention point to something of a higher vibration. Understanding the Lower and Higher 4th Dimension To simplify another important aspect of the Shift, let’s imagine that the 4th dimension has just two parts to it – a lower 4th dimension and a higher 4th dimension. (This is not technically true, but it’s a useful distinction.) As I mentioned, form will remain when 3D disappears. We’ll still experience houses and cars and trees. But fear, judgments, blame and guilt, the rights and the wrongs, will disappear. All this dense emotional energy, which is the only thing that prevents us from playing in the higher dimensions right now, will simply be cleared from our space. However, depending upon the vibration of the thoughts you are thinking as 3D disappears, you will find yourself in either the lower 4th dimension or the higher 4th dimension. The lower 4th dimension, which is also called the astral plane or dream space, holds all the thoughts ever thought by anyone in the 3rd dimension. You see, thoughts don’t just disappear after we think them. They live on in the lower 4th  dimension, with specific weight, texture, density and emotional charge. And they bond and cluster with all the other thoughts of similar character. Some thoughts – such as rape, domination, slavery, war, hatred – feel heavy, dense and dark. Conversely, thoughts such as  ‘butterflies,’ ‘children playing in the park,’ and ‘flowers blooming on a warm spring day’ feel light and have a simple, airy vibration.  Lighter thoughts like these rarely linger in a 3D consciousness. Because in order to align and feel the vibration of, for example, ‘beauty,’ we must step out of 3D consciousness into present time, a higher 4th dimensional space. Wait, you say, I know ‘Beauty!’ You do, because we’re now living in both the third and fourth dimensions simultaneously, but how often do you align yourself with, and linger on, the feeling of beauty? It’s a 4D, present-time skill to take thoughts like ‘light,’ ‘airy’ and ‘beauty’ to heart. These vibrations don’t even exist in the hurry up, past/future of the 3rd dimension where it’s very difficult to pause in present time and smell a flower. But, on the other hand, have you noticed that heavy, uncomfortable thoughts such as ‘I’m not good enough.’ or ‘They don’t like me.’ or ’I’m never going to succeed.’ tend to linger quite a bit longer in 3D consciousness? This is because thoughts are electric and emotions are magnetic. A set of light, airy vibrations like ‘beauty’ or ‘graciousness’ has a low, soft, electrical charge that is expansive and fluid. Whereas heavier, uglier thoughts come highly charged and wrapped in highly magnetic emotions. These thoughts are not only harder to clear than kind, loving thoughts; they also bond magnetically to all other thoughts like them in the lower 4th dimension. So much of the magnetic field we walk around in - I’m not OK, You’re not OK - has very little to do with who we really are. It’s just the magnetism of one heavy, unconscious thought attaching itself to the magnetism of similar heavy, unconscious thoughts. You begin to see why it’s vital to become conscious of the thoughts you think and the emotions you throw into your vibrational mix. Fortunately, the second wave of the Shift is making this easier and easier. As we let go of the heavier energies of Who We Are Not, the light is rewiring us, stepping us up into a higher 4th dimensional vibration where lesser thoughts and emotions are not such a distraction in our general experience. We start to live in alignment with the heart, and experience the vibrations and consequences of concepts such as ‘I like me,’ ‘I’m happy,’ ‘I’m pleased with myself.’ The alignment with the heart becomes natural because it already is our natural alignment in the higher fourth, fifth and sixth dimensions. However, some assembly is required. Any limitations, judgments, denials, blame, guilt, or resentments that we each still argue for, in one way or the other, become like weights on a hot air balloon. They limit how far we can rise within the fourth dimensional range of vibration. Each of us is 100 percent in charge of the process. The more weight - lower-vibrational patterns of words, thoughts, and emotions - we remove, the higher we rise into the expansive experience of the higher 4th dimension.  Here,  it is as if we look past the boundaries and limitations, which were always just a habit of observation in 3D. It’s a wider view, a calmer view, and a quieter view. In the upper 4th dimension, you can choose fear or worry, and drop into the lower 4th dimension… but you won’t. As you begin to align with the heart, very naturally - ‘I Like Me’ - you’re going to find there’s no reason or compulsion to choose an uncomfortable attention point in the lower 4th dimension.  It comes naturally and readily because it is the language and vibration of you’re natural well being - if you let it, and if you focus upon it. It’s a choice. As the shift accelerates and time collapses and everything is in the present moment, you could still choose your thoughts and feelings unconsciously, out of 3rd dimensional habit, and you would have the opportunity to live that discomfort immediately and fully in your experience. Or you can choose your thought and emotion in every moment, with focus and awareness, and live the fullness of that experience. In other words, it’s to your benefit to practice and integrate the ability to choose the contents of your consciousness right now, before it really counts - and that moment is not very far away. It’s all up to you. Until now, the center of your head, the place from where you can choose your thoughts and attention point, has been pre-occupied by the thoughts of others. Your Mom-Dad-Teacher-Minister loved you and had an opinion about the best way for you to live your life, and as their thoughts moved in to your head, “You” moved out. Now it is time to take back ownership of the center of your head. As you recognize and let go of the unnatural thoughts that say, ‘Oh, I can’t do this’ and ‘I can’t do that’ and ‘I must do this,’ you’re going to find that soon all those thoughts, with their sticky interlocking connections in the lower 4th dimension, disappear. Just putting your attention in present time on ‘beauty’ and ‘well-being‘, or just being ‘happy’ in a state of ‘ease‘, eliminates the lesser vibrations stored within the lower astral fields of the 4th dimension. Start by playing with the vibration of what I call Living Words. The Archangels very deliberately and precisely selected these words - words such as Certain, Capable, Commanding, Present, Senior, Graciousness and Happy - so that you can most easily clear all the unconscious vibrations from your space. Choose one word each day and live with it all day, think it and feel it often. If you practice thinking and feeling these vibrations now, when it doesn’t absolutely count, they will become your habit when it does count. You begin to gracefully realign with the fullness of “You,” and your natural state of wellbeing lifts you into the higher 4th dimension. Easy?  Kind of. Simple? Yes. Does it require awareness and a choice from a present time space? Absolutely. Can you sit on the sidelines and hope it all turns out? No. Increased levels of electromagnetic light from the higher dimensions are now flowing within all of us. Many people in the 3rd dimension cannot handle this surge, and they are choosing to step out of their bodies. And many, many more will follow as the Shift accelerates You see, everyone is going home to the 4th and then 5th dimensions, but not everyone is going home on the same timeline, and with the same ease and grace.

Introduction to Feng Shui

Diagram of the BaGua and The Various Attributes

 by Sharda Chaitanya

Feng Shui is the ancient art of deliberate placement. The philosophy of Feng Shui proposes that everything contains its own unique energy and everything is affected by the energy surrounding it. While the premise is very broad, the approach is very simple. When objects, (furniture, foliage, lighting, mirrors, elements, color) are placed in correct and particular relationship to one another, in keeping with Feng Shui theory of harmony, then ourselves and our lives “get” that; we are influenced positively and productively because the flow of Chi (energy) is harmonious.

One can use Feng Shui in the home, office or business; for real estate issues, when progress is "stuck"; for propelling your job to the next level, or even enhancing your work cubicle if you are dealing with pesky co-workers!  Feng Shui is a very tangible method for change and lets us feel that we are in control.   Once the physical changes are in place, those for whom the work was done will begin to feel and see actual results.  Simply stated, with Feng Shui we are enhancing and igniting the good Chi and deflecting or eliminating the bad Chi! 

It is a well-known fact that large corporations as well as successful business people the world over use Feng Shui to heighten their competitive edge and insure gainful results.  Whether you are a corporate firm or an individual looking for change, Feng Shui sets out to accomplish the same thing:  creating abundance, protection and peace for the individual or group by infusing the environment with uplifting, un-obstructed and light-filled ENERGY.

This particular school of Feng Shui, Black Sect Tantric Buddhist Feng Shui, is based on the teachings of His Holiness Grandmaster Professor Lin Yun, and is derived from the traditions of Black Sect Tantric Buddhism. A key aspect of this style of Feng Shui places emphasis on both the material/physical aspects of our task, as well as the all-important non-physical/spiritual aspects of the practice.  The practitioners of this method of Feng Shui are themselves spiritually inclined and look to the work as furthering the well being of others.  With respect for the Powers that Be, the consultant approaches the work, and the clients needs, with compassion.  While adjusting a space using Feng Shui is most beneficial, how and why we are doing it is equally significant. 

With this in mind, the recipient of the cures and adjustments is asked to be clear as to their intention or purpose, because Feng Shui is as much about placement and location as it is about perspective and intention.  The tangible and intangible elements carry equal importance.

We are all a little under-nurtured and over-worked.  What happens when we do Feng Shui, (as opposed to just any re-decorating) is that we establish ourselves in our environment in a sacred way.  Instead of just living there, we are thriving and growing - we have created a sanctuary of peace, healing and progress!  And of course, love.  

We begin to regard the Chi around us as a living, breathing entity that requires attention much like a plant or a pet.  Or ourselves.  Nothing is insignificant, least of all where we live, work and sleep.  These are all gifts, and we are honoring and acknowledging the significance of them when we use Feng Shui.

The premise upon which all Feng Shui is based relies on the Bagua, or the octagonal-shaped diagram that is placed onto the floor plan or lot to determine exactly where each of the life issues corresponds.  

The client generally chooses which 3 areas they would most like to work with for the duration of the consultation.  The 9 Most Important Life Areas are:

Family –         Your birth or extended family.  Color:  Green

Wealth --         Money, abundance of friends, options.  Color:  Purple

Fame --           Increasing our popularity or heightening our reputation.   

                        Color:  Red

Love/Relationships –

                        Familial, romantic or platonic.  Color:  Pink

Future --          This also includes children and creativity.  Color:  White

Travel --          Whether commuting for work or recreation.  Color:  Grey

Career --          Either to enhance your current one or change.  Color:  Black

Knowledge –   Secular and spiritual.  Color:  Blue

Health --          Yours or you loved one’s.  Color:  Yellow

                       

Additionally, the three most important objects and their placement are:  the stove, the bed and the desk.  Each of these represents a significant part of our life and must be insured that the proper flow of Chi is infused into them and their space. When we consciously build energy around these seemingly inanimate objects, a synergistic relationship is established.  Energy is there to be used, and when we do so gently, lovingly and with respect, the Chi, the energy, responds in kind.

One of the (many) inexplicable benefits of doing Feng Shui in the home or office are the immediately felt affects on one’s sense of well-being and state of mind:  because when our environment is in synchronization, our mental and even physical health is positively impacted.  It is no secret that Feng Shui can improve one’s health.  Master Lin Yun recommended painting the bedroom of a hyperactive child the color green in order to calm the nervous system and sooth the eyes.  The effects were outstanding, and the child performed better at school and had much improved social skills.

Another example is of a client who simply moved her bed into the command position and her two cats, who had been fighting for the 6 months they had been in this apartment, found peace lying on that bed side by side!  And it happened on the very night the cure was done.  Not only did the feline conflict cease, the client slept more soundly than ever.

When approaching an issue in a home or office, a variety of solutions can be used.  They include color, crystals, light (natural or artificial), use of one or more of the natural elements (fire, water, earth, wood or metal), artwork, flowers, chimes, fountains, etc.  Not only is Feng Shui therapeutic, it can be very creative.  It doesn’t have to be expensive either --even those on a budget can easily begin using Feng Shui in their everyday lives.

At the same time, the furniture, equipment and objects that are already in a space may simply require some rearranging - a little bit goes a long way.  Often times the clearing and neatening of a cluttered room can dramatically increase the flow of Chi.   In this case, less is more! 

Once you start doing Feng Shui, a new level of consciousness is awakened, and you perceive energy from a heightened awareness:  but more importantly, with an awareness about your own individual energy.  The use of Feng Shui creates a very dynamic, energy-infused environment custom made for your needs.  At the end of the day, the changes, adjustments, cures and intentions that you use are for your peace of mind and happiness; your home becomes your sanctuary.

                  MAY YOUR DAY HAVE A MIRACLE!

My New (Blog) Home

Greetings, I am Vanya.  I am here today to welcome you to our New Home, Feng Shui Serenity.  It is our wish that Sharda share wholeheartedly with you the knowledge, wisdom and  insight that she feels so blessed to have received.  Sharda is extremely excited to finally have a place where she is free to express and put forth those ideas, inspirations and findings that come to her time and again.  Having traveled the spiritual path all of her life, Sharda is so eager to give back to the world, and whomever else wants to join along, what she has cherished as loving and supportive guidance and wisdom.  I am Vanya and I am here to assist in whichever way I am asked to do so. 

Thanks very much Vanya.

Okay, that was Vanya, my guide and spiritual guardian.  We will be working together here on this site.  And elsewhere, also.  But for now, that is as much as I know.  (It was a surprise for me to have Vanya come through like that.  Very cool.)

My idea about what I am doing here is fairly free-form.  I wanted to be didactic and say, oh, it's primarily to take a look at Feng Shui and how it is used it in everyday life, blah, blah; and that I will apply Feng Shui philosophy to different topics when applicable, more blah.  But it's better that I say we will figure it out as we go along.  But yeah, I am definitely going to be rambling on about Feng Shui.  Feng Shui has been an amazing force in my life and I believe it is a very easy way for people to bring supportive changes into their lives.  With loving awareness for one's personal and work environment,  we will talk about using Feng Shui cures and techniques that are simple and easily understood.  

What I know for certain is that almost ALL that I will do here is about being spiritual, living a life in and for Spirit and adding what I can to the ongoing dialogue regarding our forward movement into a heightened,  purer collective vibration and entry into true Cosmic Consciousness.

The truth is, the motivation behind the Blog is, honestly and simply, that I cannot justify keeping what I know to myself.  I am fairly certain that I have been guided.  I am going to stop short of saying it's an obligation -- I think it feels more like I am being of service.  Ascension, community, family (either biological, adopted or galactic), service to others, Gaia, Eastern philosophy, etc., are what I think about and what will be the other topics up for discussion.   I garner much insight and inspiration from other sources, and I will share those as well.

In this space I am also definitely going to talk about the things I do and experience, the range or kinds of input really have no parameters.    Although while I will always speak from the heart and seek to raise ideas to an elevated level of understanding, I am not without my opinions.  What I am looking for is, in a word, perspective.  Maybe even a new perspective.  Seeing Spirit, Light and Wisdom in even the ordinary things of everyday life.  Like artists do.  And then it is not so ordinary anymore.  We can honor everything around us -- give it respect, and see how it comes back to us. So the perspectives we will be looking at is what I am calling a spiritual aesthetic.  Or is it an aesthetic spirituality?  Hmm, I like both of them.  You get the idea.

Let's see where it goes.  I also want to talk about books, movies, life in New York City, meditation, my connection to India, nature (what little I know), Vanya, and so forth.  Now and then I might have to bitch and moan, because, while I am always a Child of the Universe, I am still a New Yorker.

With joy and blessings,

Sharda
