Stay tuned for at least 3 reasons why I now know I have full permission to be weird.

I'm an Aquarius Moon

So let's start at the very beginning. I began my own personal age of Aquarius all those years ago in 1965.

Aquarians are said to be independent thinkers who march to the beat of their own drum. They look at things a little differently than others do.

With the Moon in the conceptual and humanitarian sign of Aquarius, you are likely to be a unique and somewhat progressive individual. There may be something about you that somehow “separates” you from everybody else. Aquarius is an Air sign, and so pertains to ideas, concepts and communication.
- StarsLikeYou.com.au

I guess you could say that I was born with permission to be strange, weird and unusual. But I think that what I tell you next will really make it clear.

Things are Totally Out of Bounds

That was a bit of a play on words. I'm referring to my chart again.

I'm taking an astrology course, and when I had my one on one with my instructor, she told me about planets that are out of bounds.

Not all astrologists work with out of bounds planets, but those that do say that having one makes you a bit quirky. And you might be a genius likely to think outside the box.

This is the case for people with one planet that is out of bounds. I have THREE! Including my Aquarius moon, which is like having a triple whammy of weird.

People with an out-of-bounds Moon, according to Pamela Welsh, are usually unique and very independent, they enjoy their freedom and solitude. However, they can be extremely sensitive, emotionally unstable and overwhelmed by feelings of doubt, guilt, or depression.
-lunarium.co.uk

Well, that quote explains a lot! :)

Now, if you are wondering what makes a planet out of bounds, or how you can know if you have any out of bounds planets, go to that link in the quote box.

Oh, and here's something I thought was neat. One of my out of bounds planets is Venus, and that means I have an extraordinary capacity for boundless love, according to my teacher.

Apparently, I'm a Heyoka Empath

I already knew I was an empath, of course, but in a reading recently, the Heyoka empath was suggested. And when I took a look at an article that offered eight signs that you are one, almost every description or trait resonated with me. Another term used sometimes is sacred clown.

It makes you a teacher, even when you're not teaching because people learn just by connecting with you.

Heyoka empaths are known to be one of the most powerful empaths because their empathetic skills can heal other people. They tend to take others' negativity and transfer their positivity to other people. Their way of living and thinking can help people see the world differently and heal themselves. - Calm Sage

Alright, so there you have it. And now, I'd like to pass on that permission to you, if you're interested. You are free to be as weird as you'd like.

Tell us something quirky or unusual about you in the comments.

See you next time!

Love, Jeanine

You've forgotten who you are. Are you ready to remember?

You are Carrying the Past

The negative voices or influencers from your past are still with you, clinging like barnacles on a boat. They helped to define who you were at a time when you were too young to realize they were wrong.

Who would you be now, without them?

I had a healing experience recently where I both saw and felt the weight of my parents lift from my back and shoulders. Immediately, I felt so much lighter. And I heard my higher self (soul) say, "Jeanine, you don't have to believe them anymore. That's not who you are. They were wrong." And I began to feel the energy of the real me, the child who was hiding behind the self they said I was.

Who are the people whose negative influence still clings to you?

In my 7 Cozy Self-Care Rituals eBook/mini course, there's a letting go meditation and ritual you can use to help you cast off the negative voices.

You can access it by clicking on the link above. You'll also get access to the self-care mini bundle giveaway I'm participating in this month.

Love you guys!

Mourning the Loss of the False Self

I have another great video from Kyle Cease. In it, he tells us how to let go of parts of our false selves in the healthiest way.

For example, the people pleasing part. Or the overachiever part. Etc.

Watching it, I realized that no one ever taught us how to say goodbye to those parts of ourselves as we heal and grow. Has healing been causing unresolved grief because we didn't acknowledge it?

Something to think about. I highly recommend watching this video.

A lot of my content is for healers and lightworkers, but this video is for all of us.

What did you think? Tell me in the comment section.

See you next time!

Love, Jeanine

P.S. Want another great Kyle Cease video? Watch The Calling. It's about the stirrings in our soul that we haven't said yes to yet.

The End of Winter

Here we are, at the end of winter - the end of the winter edition of the Ultimate Blog Challenge, that is!

How did you do? I think I got more traffic, though not as much as I did in the fall.

I think one reason is that I didn't do the blog post descriptions - the blurbs you write describing the post - that I did last time. Another reason is that I didn't write as many blog posts.

But even though I wasn't able to participate as much as I wanted, I loved connecting with you all!

Congratulations on making it to the end of the challenge, no matter how many posts you created!

Comfort and Grief

As I come to the end of my posts for this month, I find that I have one more thing I want to share.

I was watching a Kyle Cease video recently, and he said that he believes that this year's theme is going to be grief.

Especially the loss of who we always thought we were. So I thought I'd offer some comfort here today.

And I want to encourage you not just to be open to any grief that arises, but also to offer yourself comfort when you need it.

Watch this video and let it soothe you...

]]><![CDATA[How Good Can You Stand it?]]>Mon, 29 Jan 2024 05:00:00 GMThttps://www.meetjeanine.net/blog/how-good-can-you-stand-it
No matter what we say we want, I believe that when we don't get it, it's often because we haven't allowed it. On the inside, we haven't said yes.

What Will You Allow?

Can you let someone love you wholeheartedly? Do you let all of the love in?

Is your heart open to fully loving yourself? Or is your self-love conditional?

What about happiness and joy? If they are available each day, are you available for them? Can you trust what feels like pure joy?

Do you allow rest or do you fight it? I mean the kind where you stretch, and your whole body feels good. And you know you'll have a better day because you slept or napped so well.

Do you let yourself trust that you are being lovingly cared for by the divine, no matter what pops into your day or your life? Do you trust that you and the divine are facing everything together, side by side, so to speak?

Take a deep breath in ... let it out.
Now repeat after me:
I am willing to receive.

There is Help Available

That quote is from Kerry K., and I have paraphrased it slightly, because I can't remember exactly how she said it. I do know that there were a couple of deep breaths and an encouragement to practice that affirmation, from the heart.

Where do you stand on the continuum? How good can you stand it, on a scale of 1-10?

Know that wherever you are on the scale, you can move from there to 10, and there is divine help available.

Love you!

I have come to realize that in creating the lifestyle I believe I am meant to have, I have been leaving out fun and sometimes, self-care. So since today is National Fun at Work Day, I decided to make a post about it and explore the topic more. Here are 4 Ways to have more fun at work...

I tend to combine several of the ideas on the list. I take breaks and watch YouTube videos where people are dancing.

There's a weatherman named Nick Kosir who dances all the time, especially to that Lil Boo Thang song. Those videos are really fun!

But I need to make even more time for pleasure and fun, and I'm working on it.

Do You Have Fun at Work?

And if you do, what makes it fun? If you don't, what can you add or change so that you'll enjoy it more?

See you next time!

One of the regrets I have as a mother, is that I don't think I adequately prepared my son for accepting, processing and transmuting negative feelings, or keeping his heart open when he has been hurt.

Hell, I am still working on all these things myself! When I work on them myself, I do share the healing with him, though, as well as ancestors and past versions of me.

Still, I am glad that God has said to me repeatedly, "I've got him, Jeanine," because hopefully that means things will be okay all the way round.

Do you have any regrets?

See you next time!

Love, Jeanine

]]><![CDATA[National Handwriting Day]]>Tue, 23 Jan 2024 05:00:00 GMThttps://www.meetjeanine.net/blog/national-handwriting-day
Today is National Handwriting Day!

Most of us don't write letters by hand, but I write in my journal.

Do you keep a journal? If not, I've got a few good reasons why you might want to start.

Why You Should Keep a Journal

Being the light does not always go smoothly, am I right? Do you ever find yourself trying to figure out why you felt or responded the way you did, when you intended something entirely different?

Me, too! And sometimes trying to think it through just reminds of what happened, which stirs up those same feelings again.

But journaling helps you get the feelings from inside you, onto the paper, and that is likely to help you understand both the feelings and the reactions better. It may even help you think of a better way to respond next time.

Putting the situation in writing may lead you to notice details you didn't see before, that may help you understand what triggered you.

Journaling gives you time to fully explore the way you feel about what happened. And once you figure out why you felt the way you did, that understanding may help you to avoid those negative feelings in the future.

Sometimes your feelings are deep-rooted and go back to things that happened many years ago, so similar situations now trigger similar feelings. Writing and then, reflecting on your journal entries may help you remember what happened in the past so you can understand how it led to what you're feeling now.

Then you can decide if you want to respond differently next time and think through how you might do that.

I often feel a lot better after telling my journal how I feel! And I often find that just writing it out changes my perspective for the better.

Has that ever happened for you? And if you don't journal, do you think it might help if you did?

See you next time!

Love, Jeanine

There is a difference between the you who has lived here on earth for ... years, and the you who existed in spirit, who neither has a name or a body. Most of us think of ourselves as a reflection of the personality we created to survive our childhoods. But we are so much more.

Who You Really Are

You know the saying that we are spiritual beings having a human experience? Well, it seems to me that we say that, but then we go ahead and wholly identify with the human part and forget how to connect with, nurture and tend to our spiritual selves.

Who are you in spirit?

Imagine that you can see yourself right now as you are. Sitting in a chair, perhaps, and reading this post.

Notice the image you have in your mind. And notice what the post reader you is thinking and feeling.

Now give these questions some thought...

Who are you as the observer? How would you describe the one doing all the noticing?

Each path leads you back to who you truly came here to be, leading you to the discoveries and fulfilling experiences you are going to have. The life lessons you are going to learn, the peace you are going to feel, and the gratitude you are going to hold for all, especially for all who are also on this path, marching by your side. - KnowledgeCollective

Are You A Lightworker?

There's a great article I believe I have linked to before, or I linked to a similar one, about the different types of lightworkers. This article says there are 7 different types.

Take a look and see which ones you identify with, because there will surely be more than one.

The ones that resonate for me are healer, messenger and wayshower.

The one I wish I was is transmuter. The transmuter can walk into any room and change its energy just by being there. If the energy was negative, it becomes positive.

I would love to have that ability! But believe me, I don't.

Watch this first video, to learn about how our lightworker roles may shift this year. The second one is about your future self, and how it will be helping you this year.

What Do You Think Now?

Who are you? Are you seeing yourself any differently than you did before?

See you next time!

Love, Jeanine

"Don't sleep on sleep and rest. Nurturing yourself is how you stay open to receive" - Jessica from High Priestess Healing, a paraphrase of what she said.

In a really encouraging video, my favorite tarot reader said to continue with self-care and not to push yourself, because that is important for being able to receive the good things that will come your way. Although it was a Pisces reading, it seemed to be a good msg for everyone.

How are you doing with self-care?

Are you getting enough sleep?

See you next time!

]]><![CDATA[The Devil Makes You Do It]]>Mon, 15 Jan 2024 05:00:00 GMThttps://www.meetjeanine.net/blog/i-blame-the-devil
The story of the video I want to share, begins with the idea that an angry thought-form has been externally imposed by dark forces, since birth, fed by our negative experiences, perfected by the role modeling of others, and now lives as a tyrant within us. If we ever want to be able to live galactically, the channeled angels say, we have to root out this energy and let it go.

Spread the Word

In the channeled messages, lightworkers are asked to acknowledge this thought form, talk about it amongst ourselves and then let it go. It also promises energetic help to do that this year.

It's funny that this video appeared the other day. I had recently been thinking about what makes a person an angry person.

I was thinking that angry people were people like Scrooge, or the crotchety old man who yells at kids to get off his lawn. And my thinking was that truly angry people aren't very happy.

But this message suggests that we are all angry people, even if anger is not a defining part of who we are.

Not So Fast, Fellow Lightworker

Our growth as lightworkers comes in stages. And many of us are empathic people-pleasers still determining where the line is between us and the energy vampires in our lives.

If that work is not complete in you, then this is too soon to surrender your anger. You need, "you can't do that to me anymore" and "you kids, get off my lawn!"

Not to mention, "when I said 'no', I meant 'no'."

Just know that the anger you feel as you set those boundaries is not entirely yours. It's possible that none of it is yours.

So it is helping you now, or it will. but the day will come when you will have to take a closer look at it, and let it go.

Perceive this not as glorious but as the instrument used to divide the world. See it now, not as organic, not as a tool you were born with, but as one imposed upon your mental focus from the external.
- the channeled message

Where am I?

Where are you? Do you know where you are on the continuum?

I know where I am. Sometimes angry. And always determined.

I'm standing on the line between my yard and the next one, because these blankety-blanks keep trying to cross it! *rueful roll of the eyes*

Actually, the call is coming from inside the house. And I feel like the challenge happens every day.

But boy, am I uncomfortable with the idea that the anger I feel is externally imposed or created.

So, I am trying, already to begin to let it go.

It is anger, rage, demonstration of force, rigidity.
- the channeled message

Take the Keys Away from
Your Drunk Ego

One of my mentors, Kerry K. would agree with this concept of anger-war as being not entirely our own, because she would say, I think, that it's all part of the matrix programming we have been living with all our lives. It's the ego we constructed in childhood so that we could conform to that programming.

And when she talks about what to do with those pesky feelings we'd rather not have, she says that first you have to acknowledge the feeling and be with it.

Without judgment. And then we get to meet it with our own divinity, and our light will dissolve it.

It works. I know that from experience. And ideally, eventually, you are going to be mostly light, and very little darkness.

I am certainly not there yet. I think we'd fry ourselves if we were able to do it all at once.

But that's the journey she describes.

What are your thoughts about all of this?

See you next time!

Love, Jeanine

]]><![CDATA[2024 Lifestyle Blueprint from Intuitive Readings]]>Wed, 10 Jan 2024 05:00:00 GMThttps://www.meetjeanine.net/blog/2024-lifestyle-blueprint-from-intuitive-readings
For over a year now, I have been watching astrological tarot and oracle card readings on YouTube, and some readers have become trusted favorites, whose readings have been very helpful.

Though I am a Gemini Sun, I am a Pisces Rising and I mostly listen to Pisces readings. Sometimes I watch Cancer ones because I have a lot of water in my birth chart and my North Node is in the 4th house (Cancer's house).

Sometimes they are really in-depth and recently, my very favorite tarot and oracle card reader gave a reading that offered a lifestyle blueprint I feel inspired to follow. Another favorite gave a very similar reading, and it filled in a space or two left open by the other one.

Preparation for the Age of Aquarius

On the 20th of this month, Pluto will move into Aquarius and stay there for two decades. Jessica from High Priestess Healing & the guy from Swimming through the Void both shared that the guidance from those readings was intended to prepare us for all the changes that will occur due to Pluto's transformational influence once it arrives on the scene toward the end of the month. I believe that right now, a lot of lightworkers are getting messages about slowing down and turning inward for a while.

This is about very clear, very strong routines, adhering to a schedule you create.
- High Priestess Healing

Spiritual Lifestyle Blueprint

The main recommendation was to create a daily spiritual routine that included meditation and journaling. She recommended transcendental meditation, for 20 minutes, twice a day, so that while sitting in silence, you will be receptive to cosmic guidance and intuitive downloads.

It’s a simple, natural, effortless technique practiced 20 minutes twice each day while sitting comfortably with the eyes closed. The TM technique allows your active mind to easily settle inward, through quieter levels of thought, until you experience the most silent and peaceful level of your own awareness — pure consciousness. - TM.org

In return for this daily practice, the promise was cosmic direction, an influx of ideas, a deeper understanding of everyone around you, and becoming more visible. The reading also advocated self-care, slowing down and a period of solitude as part of the preparation.

Pause. Slow down. Rest. Recharge.
Develop a daily ritual that connects you with your truest self. - Swimming through the Void

His reading added that it was important to spend time in our own energy getting more in touch with our true self.

He also suggested meditating and contemplating this question, "what am I building in this lifetime?"

He pointed out that it was okay to slow down and rest, telling us that Spirit was pointing out that whatever we are waiting on would not manifest with more effort. But he did remind us that it's important to believe that we deserve what we want, because feeling unworthy will hold back the abundance the universe has planned.

I'm already putting this intuitive guidance into place in my own daily self-care routine.

Do you meditate? And have you ever received intuitive readings?

See you next time!

]]><![CDATA[Saying A Final Goodbye to 2023]]>Thu, 04 Jan 2024 05:00:00 GMThttps://www.meetjeanine.net/blog/goodbye-to-2023
I've done a lot of processing of the past year (2023) and I felt like I have come to peace with it and expressed gratitude for all I learned.

But when I saw Shannon Kaiser's questions on Facebook, I knew I wanted to explore the past year a little more. In her post, she said she asks herself these questions and that they were inspired by @itsmarkgroves.

They inspired me, too, so I wanted to share them here with you.

Feel free to print them out and use them as cards. I think it would be fun to get some people together and have them draw cards and reflect on the questions they receive. A journaling party, of sorts.

Journal Prompts for Reviewing 2023

2023 was Tough, but I'm Grateful

This past year was challenging for me in many ways, but at the same time, I am very grateful for what it taught me.

One of the biggest challenges was that, for some reason, I didn't use my light box until the fall, and I definitely need it year-round. So when something went wrong, I believe it hit me harder than it would have if I'd been using it.

But I also experienced emotional abuse and toxic relationship dynamics and they are what became my greatest teachers in 2023.

The last year has felt...
Depressing and painful at times, but also exhilarating, exciting and empowering. I had supportive friendships that helped me in so many ways.

What I am most proud of myself for is...
Setting boundaries. I was doing a lot of over giving and people-pleasing, and that took quite a toll on me. It was eye-opening to realize that I was playing a part in the toxicity that I was encountering.

The greatest lesson I learned about myself was...
That I am not who I have been conditioned to believe I was. I am so much more.

But also less! I found out that a lot of the thoughts and feelings I claimed, and the energy I encountered, were not actually mine.

The person who taught me the most is...
The person with whom I had the most difficult relationship. That person inspired a lot of shadow work and healing.

I'm grateful for them because...
I needed to see myself clearly and had not been able to do that before. And I needed the emotional pain to motivate me to work through my own limiting beliefs and dysfunctional patterns.

Some ways in which I could have shown up better are...
Responding from a more grounded and empowered place instead of reacting in the moment with anger. But I also missed a lot of clues about what I was dealing with, and I wish I had understood sooner.

Some ways I'm proud of myself for how I loved are...
Eventually, I was able to be more real and thus, more loving. I also worked on letting go in my relationship with my son. He needs a lot of space around him and I have honored that.

What I am grateful for in 2023 is...
Mentoring and healing I have received. But also, I have chronic fatigue syndrome and multiple chemical sensitivities and I am grateful to be receiving disability income (finally).

In 2024, I am ready for...
Continued spiritual growth. Deepening of my friendships. Creating a sustainable income while living my purpose as a healer and lightworker.

I'm committed to...
Separating my identity from the false self I believed I was, and learning to live every day as my most authentic self.

Letting life flow without my resistance or attempts to control it. Letting it be good and easy.

What I am most excited about is...
Resting more, experiencing more joy and connection, more dedicated moments of stillness, better health and the pleasure of living my purpose full out.

What I am going to create is...
Daily self-care routines that feel even better. A course or membership that will be an expression of the work I came here to do in the world.

Whew! I am so glad I answered those questions. I encourage you to give them some time yourself.

See you tomorrow!

Love, Jeanine

]]><![CDATA[National Festival of Sleep Day]]>Wed, 03 Jan 2024 05:00:00 GMThttps://www.meetjeanine.net/blog/national-festival-of-sleep-day
Before reading this post, pause for a minute and consider this question: on a scale of 1-10, how sleepy are you right now? is it higher than one?

It's National Festival of Sleep Day, so let's talk about whether or not you're getting enough sleep.

Take the Sleep Quiz

True or False...

(1) You often eat dinner later than you intended, and on those nights, you often go to bed later, too.

(2) When dinner is over, you're already exhausted, so the dishes-and-wipe-down routine happens on fumes, and there's no energy left for a me-time evening routine.

(3) You like the idea dedicating time for simple pleasures or restful self-care, but more often than you'd like, that time never gets added to the schedule.

(4) You often go to bed later than you planned, because completing what's on your to-do list takes longer than you anticipated.

(5) You go to bed on time, but can't sleep because your mind is still spinning.

If most of your answers were true, then you may not be getting enough quality sleep and your daily routine may be part of the problem.

Here are a few suggestions...

-eat dinner earlier
-carve out wind-down time in the evening, so you have a longer period of time to get sleepy and may find it easier to go to bed earlier
-take naps

Climb into your PJ’s, jump into bed and relax, or even take a nap if you are able! The Festival of Sleep Day was encouraged so that people could enjoy some relaxation and much-needed “shut-eye” after the holiday period. - DaysoftheYear.com

Consider Adding a Nap to
Your Daily Routine

According to WebMD, taking a 30-minute nap each day can be good for your health. It can improve both your memory, and your mood, reduce stress and increase alertness.

If you’re feeling down, try taking a nap to lift your spirits. Napping, or even just resting for an hour without falling asleep, can brighten your outlook. Experts say relaxation that comes from lying down and resting is a mood booster, whether you fall asleep or not. - WebMD

So that means we should nap our way through winter!

Why? Because winter is often the time when we most need a boost in mood, or a brighter outlook.

And if you have difficulty getting enough sleep, this would add sleep time to your bottom line.

What do you think? Would a daily nap help?

See you next time!

Love, Jeanine
