Becoming More You: Everything Will Change

10/9/2023

I talk a lot about what we need to do for ourselves and others, as part of our purpose as lightworkers. I encourage us all to dedicate ourselves to healing the past, so it doesn't weigh us down and dim our light.

But I don't think I say enough about the power of being the real you. If the world you experience is a reflection of who you think you are, or limiting beliefs about what the world is like, then becoming the truth and living within it could change everything.

In this video, Kyle talks about how those of us who are waiting for the world to awaken are expecting a result that happens out there. But he says, the revolution (and by implication, the awakening) is happening inside of you, and that if you surrender to that, the outside world will change, too.

The new world is birthing literally through you. Watch what happens when you receive this space [around you, in silence or meditation], purge out what you're not...and listen. - Kyle Cease

Did you watch it? What did you think?

Imagine that the world mirrors you - when he said that, it really stood out to me, along with what he says about letting go of the false self. He talks about the false selves we create in order to get approval or be safe in childhood. And over time, we come to believe that these selves are who we really are, but they aren't.

He says that if we spend time in silence, allowing the space around us without turning to distractions, we will eventually let them go. And that letting go is where the power is, for seeing change in the world.

Right now we each have this ability to connect with a new frequency & purge a false frequency. [When that happens], silence, unconditional love, absolute next steps and surrender will replace it. - Kyle Cease

See you next time!

Love, Jeanine

Message for Lightworkers: You Get to Choose

10/7/2023

10 Comments

The other day, my dear friend, Brenda Fluharty and I were each inspired to ask for guidance on what our next steps are. Watch the video for more info and see how we were both given the same answer.

Now, check out these beautiful poems Brenda wrote that are perfect complements to this post…

Your Light is Your Life Purpose
You are the Light that Helps Others Shine

What Makes You Happy
Is Your Purpose

For quite some time, I have been getting the message in readings, and in articles, that it’s important to do what makes you happy, what lights you up.

I got the impression that as lightworkers, that helps keep our vibration high and it's an important form of self-care. I even wrote about it here on the blog.

But it never occurred to me that it is our purpose. And our only one.

Apparently, as lightworkers and healers, we are always living our purpose. What I am coming to understand is that it's because we are always emanating healing, high frequencies and light codes.

I knew that was true. But here’s the part I didn’t know: what else we do is entirely up to us. Even if we do nothing else.

It's Because of the Great Awakening

I think it's because of the planned, ongoing shift in consciousness.

We’re at a point in humanity’s development now where the old paradigms are shifting to new ones. The idea that there is one life purpose that you must get clear on, that is uniquely designed for you may now be obsolete.

What is going to become more important, going forward, is that you stay connected to Spirit, free of negative influences, and that you dedicate yourself to being your highest frequency self.

In fact. holding a high frequency may be what you came here to do, without any other specifics.

I would like to add, though, that it also may be important that you live your life out loud, because I have been hearing that we will be leading each other by example.

But here's a your-mileage-may-vary disclaimer: we were asking for guidance specifically for ourselves, and I recommend doing that, too. Just in case God has something in mind for you, that is different from what she said to us.

Journal Prompts

Take a moment to ask yourself these questions...

(1) Is the way you create an income something that makes you happy?

(2) If not, is there a passion or hobby, or side hustle, that you could do during your time off that delights you?

(3) If you were completely at choice, and all your needs were taken care of, how would you spend your time?

Does this Resonate with You?

How do you feel about the possibility that being you, and being happy, is your ultimate purpose, even if you know you came here to help with the shift in consciousness?

We are all just feeling our way through everything that is happening right now, so I won't be surprised to continue to get new insights and to understand things in new ways.

See you next time!

Love, Jeanine

The Path to Enlightenment Requires a Happy, Slow Living Lifestyle

10/6/2023

6 Comments

Slow living is intentionally slowing down to enjoy life. Slow living is making life your priority.
- Helena Woods

Loving yourself means giving yourself the experiences and lifestyle you need to nurture your soul. And if you're a healer, lightworker, empath or starseed, and especially if you are all of the above, nurturing your soul is of paramount importance. Watch this beautiful lovely video about living a slow lifestyle.

If you are hurrying to and fro, or always busy trying to get things done. you're not going to have time for raising your vibration, for walking the path to enlightenment.

Can a Fairytale Lifestyle Be Spiritual?

Absolutely! In this next video, almost all of the ways she talks about romanticizing your life are also ways to be more authentically yourself, and also ways to raise your vibration, and connect more to all that is. So these are also ways to grow spiritually and to expand your consciousness.

Did she inspire you? Think of a few ways that you could make your life more like a fairytale, and at the same time, nurture your ascension and expansion.

See you next time!

Love, Jeanine

Lightworkers: Nurturing Yourself with 5 Self-Care Ritual Ideas

10/3/2023

14 Comments

Remember that it’s okay to have a life outside of personal development, study, and helping people.
It’s really easy to burn out if that’s all you focus on. Refresh and recharge—and revel in it! Ironically, you’ve probably given more than one person this advice. - Fractal Enlightenment

In yesterday's post, we talked about how living a life that lights you up and makes you happy is just as important as your dedication to self-healing. Today, I want to include self-care as a priority, too.

Just so you know, I need to hear this message as much as you do. It's a reminder that frequently pops up for me, as well.

We know we're here to help humanity raise its frequency and consciousness. It's what drives us and makes us so dedicated to our own healing, so we can radiate a stronger light to others.

But we have been brainwashed by the hustle-grind mentality of our culture.

So even though I know better, I've too often put it on the back burner, myself, allowing exhaustion and burnout to creep in. It's a life lesson that keeps resurfacing.

So, let's take a look at why making rest and self-care a priority is an absolute necessity, not just for the sake of those we came here to help, but for our own sake as well. We have to acknowledge that our capacity to heal and offer our light to the world is profoundly tied to our own state of well-being.

Make Rest & Self-Care
Your #1 Priority

Making rest and self-care your number one priority must become a transformational commitment to yourself and your mission that you actually put into practice. Here are some ideas to get you started...

(1) Set Clear Boundaries

Begin by defining your sacred boundaries.

Your time and energy are precious resources. Just as you pour your heart into healing others, reserve that same level of devotion for your own well-being.

You're going to be unapologetic in safeguarding moments for rest and rejuvenation. And once you make this commitment, you'll start to notice just how much of your power, your time and your energy you have been giving away, without saving enough for yourself.

(2) Create Rituals

Rituals can be such a powerful way to anchor self-care into your daily life.

I love my daily spiritual practice, and as I alluded to yesterday's post, I want to inspire you to cultivate your own rituals that nourish your spirit. Whether it's a morning meditation, an evening walk in nature, or simply lighting a candle and taking a moment to breathe, these rituals will help you pause, nurture yourself and let go of any stress you are carrying.

(3) Prioritize Self-Care Activities

Make a list of self-care activities that feel good to you, prioritizing the ones that light you up the most.

One thing I love lately is those quiet moments of connection with my spirit team. But for you, it might be a soothing bath, reading a book that nourishes your mind, or practicing yoga.

But whatever you choose, the key is to make those activities non-negotiable.

And don't forget to include plenty of rest in your schedule.

Not just sleep, but moments where you pause during the day and do absolutely nothing. Watch the trees blow in the wind, if you must, but other than that, aim for stillness.

(4) Learn to Say 'No'

As healers and lightworkers, we naturally want to help everyone. But saying 'no' when necessary is an essential act of self-care.

It allows you to honor your own boundaries and conserve your energy for those who truly need it. It's a lesson I'm still learning, and it's liberating - or it will be once I've nailed it down.

(5) Embrace Self-Compassion

Last but not least, be gentle with yourself.

We might long for it, but perfection is impossible on this journey of growth and healing. Don't beat yourself up for the moments when you slip up or neglect self-care.

Instead, give yourself plenty of compassion and kindness, the way you would if it were someone else who needed it.

Final thoughts - self-care will amplify your ability to heal yourself and others. This message isn't just a reminder; it's a call to action, and it promises to make your journey even better.

Over to you. What comes to mind when you think of getting better at self-care?

I have added more time listening to music, and more nothing moments in between other activities, but I am still working on resting more.

See you next time!

Love, Jeanine

Being the Light also Means Doing What Lights You Up

10/2/2023

14 Comments

Are you a lightworker, healer, empath or starseed? If so, you probably know that you are here now for a reason. Part of your purpose is to be the light for others who are finding their way.

You know that quote about finding the helpers? Your light and your frequency will help those who need you, find you.

This does not mean you must resemble the Dalai Lama or Mother Teresa. No, to be a pillar of light in this ascension timeline is to be authentically you. To make decisions and live your life based on your genuine happiness and joy, free from trauma, manipulation, and conditioning.
-The Auric Space, medium.com

Being the Light

When I read that article last month, I thought it would be a good idea to talk about it here. Let's unpack the quote, and then if you feel inspired, click on the link to go read the rest of the article.

According to the quote and article, your most important purpose is to be the light, and that means...

(1) Being authentically you

(2) Live your life based on happiness & joy

(3) Dedicate yourself to healing & letting go of the impact of trauma, manipulation and conditioning.

This week, we'll take a look at each of these three ideas, but today, let's talk about being dedicated to healing.

Well, if there's one thing I know about lightworkers, etc., is that we are dedicated to our own healing! But if you don't have a daily spiritual practice that includes healing & clearing techniques, I recommend creating one and sticking to it.

We agreed to go first, so that we can help the others.

And it wasn't until I started having a daily spiritual morning routine that I began to feel like I was making progress when it comes to healing, ascension, and letting go of all that is not me.

Though I know intellectually, that I don't have to be Mother Teresa, and I'm sure you know that, too, you probably feel the same pressure to hurry up and heal more that I do.

But the truth is, what we need to do is slow down. And raise our frequency while doing things that light us up.

We do need to pay attention to areas in our life where we might be acting out of trauma, or being manipulated, or reacting to conditioning. And then we can clear that, set boundaries, and go back to joy.

The truth is, I am still working on that last part. I am aggressive about finding things to heal.

And when I think about being some kind of leader, for people who need one, there's an internal voice that snorts and tells me I have a lot of work to do.

But surprisingly, it's actually when we are being ourselves and loving our life that people will be most drawn to us, and they are likely to forgive us for not having it all together. Hard to believe sometimes, because there's still healing to do, but it's true.

So do what I say, not what I'm still trying not to do.

Devote time every day to healing, and spiritual growth, BUT ALSO devote plenty of time to the things you love, that make you happy, that light you up.

Love you guys!

Jeanine

Welcome Back to the Ultimate Blog Challenge, Fall Edition

Hey beloveds!

It's great to see you guys again!!

Once again, I am going to commit to participating in this challenge, but probably not every day.

What I Love about the UBC

First, I want to tell you abou my Jeanine collage up there. It's AI-generated using Canva.

You'll find that that is true of all of my blog graphics this month and they have been so much fun to create.

Did you guys enjoy the rest of your summer after our last UBC adventure? I did, but I was actually looking forward to fall, because fall means - you guessed it! - lots of orange. :)

Though that is true, I am also looking forward to this challenge.

I'm taking an astrology course this season, and my teacher told me she could tell from my birth chart that I not only like to share knowledge, but get feedback from those who are receiving it. I instantly thought of you guys and this challenge, because it's so true!

This month, I'll be writing content for empaths, healers and lightworkers who knows they have a new earth mission.

What will you be writing about this month?

See you tomorrow!

Love, Jeanine

The Frame Technique for 21 Days

9/16/2023

I cannot believe how strong I felt and how strong I still feel.

Though I have watched a lot of Aaron Doughty's videos on YouTube, I think this one might actually become a life-changing one for me.

Today is day one for me, but it was so powerful that I can't wait to do it again and again. I have such a strong sense of self right now, and such a strong sense of my body. Watch it, and try it, and tell me what you think.

Did you try it? I really hope I keep doing this because it promises to strengthen my sense of self, help me create boundaries between me and others, and bring an end to people-pleasing.

As an empath with a trauma history, I think I need help with everyone of those issues.

I intend to check in from time to time and report on how it's going.

See you next time!

Love, Jeanine

Finding My Rhythm: Results of My Time Audit

8/26/2023

0 Comments

Last week, I told you I was planning to do a time audit.

I spent several days documenting what I did, how much energy I had, how I felt at the time, whether or not what I did was aligned with what matters most to me, and if not, what I wish I had done, instead. I learned a lot, and will share some of those insights here, with you.

What I learned was that I was spending a lot of time on things that seemed important at the time, but that did not make me happy. And I realized how much of the time being sick derails me.

My goals are to increase the time I spend doing spiritual rituals, pause throughout the day to clear away energy that's not mine, heal what is mine and regulate my nervous system.

I have already added healing at the end of the day. And my challenge is to find ways to add in what makes me happy.

I love all things spiritual and healing, but I am not resting enough.

If anyone else tried a time audit, I would love to hear your results.

See you next time!

Love, Jeanine

How to Heal the Mother Wound

8/22/2023

0 Comments

Honey calcite is a powerful gem that helps you to heal the mother wound. It’s known to heal any unresolved emotional issues that exist between you and your mother. It’s a powerful partner in assisting you in releasing stuck energies so you can move forward with greater presence, ease, and forgiveness.
-Dr. Athena Perrakis, SageGoddess.com

Here are a few ways you might use it...

(1) Hold it in your hand while doing a healing meditation.

(2) Place it nearby or on your journal as you write about your relationship with your mother.

(3) Place it in your pocket before any family visits.

(4) Put it in a wish jar along with slips of paper that have words like peace, forgiveness and healing.

(5) Make an essential oil blend with lavender, and rose, and place the honey calcite in the bottle.

Are there other ways you can think of to use honey calcite for crystal healing?

See you next time!

How to Connect with Your Spirit Guides

8/13/2023

0 Comments

In this video, Sonia Choquette describes the experiences of the 3rd dimension, 4th dimension and 5th dimension, and tells us how to shift ourselves. The first step, she says, is to move our connection from our minds, ruled by ego, to our hearts, which will take us to our spirit.

When we do that, it will be much easier to hear the guidance of our spirit guides, who are there, and always have been, and are just waiting to be invited to connect with us.

The goal is to really explore who we are apart from the opinion and influence of others, of society or mass consciousness. These are her suggested questions...

What do I love?

Am I doing what I love?

Is doing it, making my experience of life more beautiful?

See you next time!

Are You Spending Time on What Matters Most?

8/11/2023

4 Comments

In the video below, Sara Walka suggests that time is just an illusion, that it's not linear, but cyclical, and that if we change our relationship with time, we're much more likely to live according to what we value most.

I have been getting an intuitive message to change my routine for a while now, and I think monitoring what I do with time might help. The part of the video that really convinced me was when she mentioned times that we have more energy and times that we feel more or less patient!

Oh! Now, I want to pay attention to my own rhythm. Here's how you can do it, too...

Watch the Video to See
Her Take on Time

Where Does the Time Go?

She suggests checking in on yourself every half hour that you're awake. When you do, here's a combination of what she says and I suggest you should take note of and write down.

(1) What did you do?

(2) How would you rate your energy level?

(3) How did or do you feel?

(4) Is what you did a reflection of what matters most to you?

(5) If not, what would you rather have been doing?

Time Chart: Try this at Home

Warning: I got cute with it. :)

I couldn't resist. So, naturally, it doesn't look like a normal chart. And I left the time blank, so it can start at whatever time you want.

Let me know if you intend to try it and for how long.

I am planning several days-a week. I keep reading about finding your own rhythm and now my intuition is encouraging me to change my routine, so I am going to give it a try and I'll report back on what I learned.

See you next time!

Lammas: Celebrating the First Harvest & Reflecting on Abundance

8/1/2023

0 Comments

As the sun reaches its zenith, and the warm summer days envelop us, nature's bounty flourishes all around.

This vibrant time marks the celebration of Lammas, a significant festival in the wheel of the year. Falling on the 1st of August, Lammas is an ancient Gaelic holiday that honors the first harvest of the year, signaling the transition from summer to autumn.

Lammas derives its name from "loaf-mass," referring to the practice of baking the first grains into loaves of bread to give thanks for the abundance of the harvest.

Beyond its agricultural origins, Lammas also carries a deeper spiritual significance. It beckons us to reflect on & recognize and cherish the personal growth and other accomplishments we are harvesting.. It is a time of gratitude, introspection, and setting intentions for the coming season.

Lammas is a call ahead to fall, but also is the first of several celebrations of the harvest season.
- Tenae Stewart

Lammas Ritual:
Identifying Your Harvest

Take a moment to honor Lammas and its profound meaning in your life through a simple yet powerful ritual. Find a quiet and comfortable space where you won't be disturbed.

Centering & Grounding

Sit or stand comfortably, take a few deep breaths, and let go of any distractions. Feel your connection to the earth beneath you, grounding yourself in the present moment.

Acknowledging Your Growth

Close your eyes for a moment, and reflect on the past year's journey. Consider the goals you set, the challenges you faced, and the progress you've made.

Acknowledge the areas in your life where you have experienced growth and abundance.

Meditation: Harvest Your Intentions

Envision yourself standing in a golden field of grain, representing the harvest of your dreams and aspirations.

Each stalk symbolizes an intention or goal you set for yourself. As you walk through the field, take a moment to examine each stalk closely.

Are there stalks that have grown tall and strong, representing accomplishments and successes?

Are there stalks that need nurturing and attention, signifying areas that require further development?

Are there any barren stalks that didn't come to fruition, and what lessons can you learn from them?

Gratitude & Blessings

Give thanks for the abundance in your life, both seen and unseen. Express gratitude for the lessons learned, the blessings received, and the challenges that have fostered your growth.

Setting New Intentions

As you identify the harvest in your life, set new intentions for the coming months.

Consider what you want to cultivate and bring to fruition as the year progresses. Write down your intentions in a journal or on a piece of paper.

Close your eyes, and take a few more deep breaths, feeling the energy of the harvest within you. When you are ready, open your eyes, and if you'd like to, place your written intentions on your altar as a symbol of your commitment to manifesting them.

With this Lammas ritual, you can embrace the spirit of the season and find deeper meaning in the celebration of the first harvest.

Happy Lammas!

Love, Jeanine

A Fond Farewell to the Ultimate Blog Challenge

7/31/2023

16 Comments

Years ago, when I first began to do the Ultimate Blog Challenge, my primary motivation was to increase traffic to my website. And it always worked, sometimes by thousands of pageviews!

Well, not anymore. Although my pageviews by the end of the month were up from the beginning by almost 700, it isn't like it used to be.

So, my motivation has shifted somewhat. I still hope to increase the traffic to my blog, but I'm not watching the numbers as closely. Except I like to see which blog posts were the most popular during the month.

But aside from looking at the site activity, what's more valuable is the chance to think through and then express my point of view, and to create pages that will remain long after the challenge comes to an end.

And I enjoy getting to discuss the topics I write about with other UBCers. Just doing that helps to clarify my thinking and often gives me ideas for future blog posts.

So once again, I am grateful to come to the end of a challenge...

Thank You, Paul & Friends!

Thanks to Paul Taubman for getting us together each season and supporting our writing. And thanks to all the other bloggers who participated this month.

I really enjoyed connecting with you and I look forward to doing it again in the fall.

Wishing you an everyday experience of boundless self-love, cozy self-care, a gentle rhythm & a slower pace, and the happiness of living as your authentic self.

Love, Jeanine
