This has been a summer of extraordinary planetary alignments. These celestial events have accelerated the purging that is taking place through the influx of the new 5th-Dimensional frequencies of the Violet Flame. Saint Germain, his Legions of the Violet Flame and millions of embodied Lightworkers all over the world have successfully orchestrated this purification process. This cleansing has been done in a way that resulted in the maximum transmutation of Humanity’s destructive miscreations.

Now it is time for the next phase of this Divine Plan. It is not by chance that your I AM Presence has drawn this information into your sphere of awareness. You have been preparing for aeons of time to assist with this activity of Light. There are myriad ways in which you can participate, and your I AM Presence will guide you unerringly to the right and perfect one. Listen to your Inner Guidance. You have all of the knowledge, skill, talent, wisdom, ability and courage you need to fulfill whatever it is you have been called to do during this Cosmic Moment.

When frequencies of discord are transmuted into Light, a void is left where the discord previously existed. In order to prevent more discord from filling that space, the void must be sealed with Light. The Beings of Light have indicated that the greatest need of the hour is for Lightworkers to seal the monumental voids being created through the awesome purging of the Violet Flame that is taking place this year. They said that the most effective and life-transforming way of sealing these voids is by filling them with the original patterns of perfection destined for Mother Earth and all her Life. These are the patterns contained within the Etheric records of the Garden of Eden.

Throughout the vitally important week of August 12-17, 2006, stay focused on the Light. Meditate, join with other Lightworkers and create your own activity of Light, be a Peace Commanding Presence and radiate Divine Love with every breath you take.

This Divine Plan requires one thing from you:
YOUR ONE-POINTED CONSCIOUSNESS, FOCUSED IN BUOYANT JOY, DIVINE LOVE AND REVERENCE FOR ALL LIFE.

Into these moments be true....
– Still – True -
Still True. And to breathe... to breathe.

Where am I to go? What am I to do? How am I to be? What am I?

These are the seeming questions that come into the consciousness of awareness in a physicalized reality - Beyond mind, beyond body. What am I? You are not separated; you are neither near nor far. You are here.

Juxtaposing the question, you live between that and the answer. That which will laugh in these moments is that which is a member of my club – the F.I. Club; that which would laugh at itself in the mirror for simple entertainment; that which looks at life as simply a journey with no beginning nor end.

What’s happening is the middle! Like an Oreo cookie - forget the outside; that makes the inside more delectable! Going for the inside is a ride… until the ride is complete. You come to a still point and go: “aah… oh”, caught in the disappearing, re-appearing moments, dancing between the question and the answer. You live in an unexpected, dreamlike, beyond fantasy reality, where by freedom is not something you coerce; it is not something that you demand; it is something that you don’t have or apprehend; it is something you are.

So, to those of you that sometimes get stuck on those preliminary questions, remember the words: I Am.

Out of those questions is the key to freedom… the willingness to speak them says that you are right here, without beginning nor end. You are nowhere… now here.

Blame it on the planets, the stars, or even the Maya calendar . . . but don’t take what is going on right now personally. This can be your mantra . . . “I do not take what is happening to me personally”- “I do not take what I am feeling personally”- “I do not take what is happening to me personally”. WHY? . . . Because it is happening to most of us out there. This is a global shift that is affecting you personally and everyone else too. Don’t take my word for it . . . go out and prove it to yourself. Get out there and talk to your friends and your community. You will quickly see that we are all in the same boat.

I’ll tell you . . . from the March eclipses and retrogrades up to now, it has been a whirlwind of confusing energies. In a nut shell, I feel like the Earth’s gyroscope has taken a wobble, if that is possible. I could not find words to write about this. It just felt like language migrated north for the summer. I didn’t know if I was inside out . . . or right side up.

Then we hit the 20 core days in the Mayan calendar (4/30-5/18). Ah YES . . . the first 10 days allure you into a false sense of well being, but when you hit day 11, watch out. The intensity was so strong that I felt that I was hanging on by a thread. Thank God that my 3D life is so stable and supportive, because I don’t think I would have made it. Just when I thought we were out of the woods and back into some semblance of normalcy, we hit the portal days (5/24-6/2). If you made it this far unscathed, you got slammed here. Many of us lost loved ones during this time, or are about to. Relationships ended, etc…. It is proving to be one Hot Summer for us northerners and one Cold Winter for you southies.

One morning, a few weeks ago, I began to understand what was happening. It just took me this long to scrape up the words to convey it. Anyway, just as I woke up and sat up in bed, I felt a wobble that made me feel like I was on a boat in the ocean. The entire day I was discombobulated. It felt like a dream, but I was awake.

The Star Elders began to show me more about the upcoming shift of the ages. This installment of their wisdom (I wonder why they have to drag this out - Can’t they just give it to me all at once!) was about trusting our inner core . . . our inner compasses for choosing our direction. They say the outer world will not be able to give us the answers anymore. In fact, as the world as we know it fades away, there will be nothing out there that we can rely on. Nearly everything going on outside of ourselves will become an illusion and a flat out lie. I began to get really clear that the only thing I could trust was my own inner gyroscope. Yep . . . we are sailing un-chartered seas . . . , and I think the outer world compass is broke for good . . . and it is a good thing too!

In South America, one of the pick pocket scams is to distract you so they can free you from your belongings. A group of guys will act very dramatic and/or drunk just up the street from where you are. Another one nearby will quietly lift your bag while your attention is being drawn away from where you are.

Most of today’s world is distracting you and I right now . . . just like those pick pockets in South America. They are trying to control and use us for their benefit. It is a well planned, well thought out, very contorted and convoluted distraction created by none other than . . . ta da . . . ourselves! The world we created is distracting us away from our centers. It tells us NOT to listen to our inner compass. We have all done this. You know . . . the time you knew better about something, and did it anyway. Yep . . . you pay the price for this. From world government powers, the medical professions, educational institutions, and science, right down to who writes history, it is all bent out of shape to support the system’s hungry needs. Hey, we all have bent a story a bit to strengthen our defense. Hey . . . we are, after all, HUMAN!

The beauty and absolute genius of all this is that we are ALL beginning to open our eyes to the fact that what we created is not working and boring us to tears. Many people are now on a fast track to discovering their personal inner compass because nothing else has worked to fulfill that inner void. Even ones employed by world governments, the U.N., lawyers, the medical professions, educators, bankers, scientists and historians are opening their eyes to the truth. When I say we are ALL waking up to this illusion, I mean all of us. I know this because they call me for sessions! Ahem . . . It also reminds me that not a single politician has rung me up! Hmmmm . . . a very interesting observation.

Anyway, it is no longer us against them any more, or them against us. Because them is us, and we are them! It is not about government conspiracy, medical cover ups and blaming one thing after another for why the world is the way it is. It is about each of us taking charge of our lives in the way our inner compass guides us. It is about taking care of home base, and the rest will fall into place. Ahhhh . . . the simplistic beauty of it all is just brilliant!

If you had never tasted chocolate (an unthinkable idea), how could I explain how it tasted to you? I couldn’t! You would just have to taste it for yourself. Once you have tasted chocolate, we would both have an inner knowing of the truth of the wonders of chocolate, but yet we still could do no justice to describing it with words. The New World IS that chocolate bar, and we are just kids gathering up the courage to take a bite out of that strange looking brown bar.

When we go through the coming shifts, our minds and bodies will want to go some place familiar and known. Our minds are mechanistic by nature. This has worked quite well for us up until now in keeping us safe and sound. But if we are to jump into a new world, we cannot count on what we have learned from any outside sources in the past. We will have to use our inner compass and turn the world inside out . . . and right side up.

So what happens when you do something for the very first time? You FREAK OUT! This feeling of anticipation and down right fear of new things is perfectly normal considering the world we live in. Hey, fear blocks you from that inner compass. In fact if you are ready to break free from the mechanistic patterns of this fading world, you will be called to do scary new things, take different paths, and think in different ways. The truth isn’t out there. It is IN there. This isn’t the time or the season to stay the course. It is time to listen to the Outer Limits within. YES . . . change your inner dials and take a walk into the Twilight Zone. Hey, if you have gone a course before, don’t bore yourself and do it again. That is the true definition of insanity. It is time to gather up your courage and trust your inner compass to do something new, even when all the outer signs are telling you differently. This is SELF MASTERY!

There are so many people we interact with in life, from the shallowest to the most deep relationships. When we are doing our best to speak truth to ourselves, and live the truth of our divinity, it can be awkward to relate to someone who is complaining about illness, aging, conditions of life or any one of the myriad difficulties that come up for us humans.

Oftentimes, people enjoy their problems and enjoy talking about them. In this case, there's probably no opening for our gifts to them. We can then just "shine it on," without agreeing or seeing anything less than the perfection they are. If someone, however, seems open to another way, we will be guided, we will know what we may say to help them make a change, or at least to plant a seed which bears fruit in its season.

My mother said to me once, "You can say anything if you say it with love." And she could, too. She became a mediary between blacks and whites in the still-segrated South, and was trusted and respected by both sides. Honesty seems a rare thing in these times! But what an enormous gift it is, if a difficult communication can be made with love and respect. In Marshall Rosenberg's book, Non-Violent Communication, there is even a suggestion for what to do if someone is saying things to you which would seem to be important, but there is no real feeling behind the words. Neither the speaker or the listener is impacted in any meaningful way. One response could be, "And how did you feel about that?" You can help to lead the conversation to where both people are no longer dying of boredom!

In my years of working on myself and helping others, I have observed that a lot of core issues come up over and over again not only for myself but also for most of the people I work with. I created the Weekly Energetic Maintenance Program to provide energetic support for the most common issues that we all face each day.

Beginning on July 30, I am going to be transmitting energies once a week (usually on early Sunday morning) a series of transmissions to people who wish to participate in the program. The eighteen waves of transmissions I feel guided to offer at this time will help each participant in the program to:

* Clear, heal and release less-than-love energies, frequencies and vibrations from their consciousness and energy fields;
* Release blocks to becoming abundant, prosperous and successful;
* Release blocks to feeling happy, content, satisfied and fulfilled;
* Release blocks to loving, accepting, liking, trusting and believing in yourself;
* Clear core fear;
* Clear stress, anxiety, tension and worry;
* Clear, heal and recalibrate their emotional body;
* Clear, heal and recalibrate their mental body;
* Clear negative ego programming;
* Clear negative self talk and inner dialog from their consciousness;
* Clear addictive and obsessive programming, conditioning and behaviors;
* Clear guilt, blame, shame and pity;
* Clear depression, despair, sadness, hopelessness and sorrow;
* Clear anger, rage, resentment and road rage;
* Clear self sabotage, confusion and doubt;
* Clear stagnant, congested and unclear energies;
* Clear heavy, dense, dark and slow energies;
* Clear, heal and release less than love energies, frequencies and vibrations from the home, car and personal office spaces.

Remember the words, "What do you say" as the prompt for "Thank you" before we hungrily ate or excitedly took whatever was given to us? As a child "Thank you" became something we were trained to say. Of course it was impossible for our parents and teachers to help us understand the feeling behind the "Thank you."

In the last few years there have been many books on thankfulness and gratitude. You are probably familiar with the Go-gratitude project (www.gogratitude.com). In one of Gregg Braden’s workshops he spoke of the energy found in deep feelings of appreciation that can literally change the world. For change to happen we have to stay in that space of deep appreciation.

Since January I have been participating in an amazing process in which appreciation is central. Since beginning this process I have discovered how little appreciation I have had and how different I feel when I become aware of appreciation. There is so much that I simply take for granted.

I am in the process of re-programming myself to go into the store, find what I want, get in touch with the appreciation I have for the item, and then realize that any money I give for the item or service is not "payment" but an offering of appreciation. When I write the check I now get in touch with what this good or service has done or will do for me, how much I appreciate having it supplied to me. Then I write out my offering of appreciation.

This process has truly opened me to the importance of appreciation. Throughout the day I have many opportunities to access appreciation. How wonderful it is to have the people in my life, streets to drive upon, trees and flowers to brighten my day, a computer to use, all the various methods of electronic communication and... on and on. There is even appreciation for the most difficult events in life because I know I will discover the learnings involved.

For today, make a commitment to get in touch with and feel the appreciation you have for whatever is in your life. When handing the clerk money, feel the appreciation you have for the green beans, the milk, the cleanser. No matter how mundane or how extravagant, get in touch with why you want it and experience your appreciation.

Be careful of what you want: you might get it. (Anonymous)

Your thinking small doesn’t serve the world. (Marianne Williamson)

These two adages have been part of the gaseous mix in my tires as I’ve rolled along for certainly as many years as it’s been since Nelson Mandela quoted the latter. They’ve kept me buoyant and on the road with no major accidents.

And the other day, it seems, I arrived at a destination for which, like the old Burma Shave signs, I’d been seeing hints of immanence, but thought I had a way to go yet, because apparently my mouse brain had been at the wheel.

A client of mine named Fran, for whom I had just done an Energy Portrait, got up out of her chair and walked to the door. This wouldn’t have been unusual, but in order for her to get to the chair at the beginning of the session, she had to lean on furniture every hesitant step of the way from her wheelchair to the chair I’d placed twenty feet away. Fran has MS.

My jaw dropped and I stopped in my forward movement to help her. “I can walk every time I have energy work done,” she smiled and said matter-of-factly.

“Energy work”. When I created my first Energy Portraits ten years ago, I thought they were art. At the time, I was also offering an intuitive, Reiki-like form of hands-on energy work (I still do), and my clients were generous in their praise of the effectiveness of my work. One said, after her first session, “Oh, Leiah, you were born to do this.”

But I wasn’t ready to accept the three conditions of this role: 1. that I could get out of my own way enough to help another person’s being find healing and release of pain on a regular basis, 2. that I would from that point on need to live to the full extent of my own wakefulness, in as much love as I could open myself to, without hesitation, and 3. that I could trust myself to do no harm.

And so I put the healing work to the side, so I thought, and concentrated on the radiant explosions of color that were the Energy Portraits. I knew the Energy Portrait process imparted healing and an improved energy flow to my clients, but I thought it was incidental and not central to the work. I was trying very hard to hide. My sabotaging detour didn’t work, thank goodness, and I find myself now looking at Fran and others like her, who tell me with their words and show me with their bodies that the work I do is at its core, powerfully healing, no matter what I think about it.

And why am I writing about it here? Not because I expect anyone to do handstands of joy on my behalf, but to put myself on display as Exhibit A. What I can do, others can and do as well.

We have more power than we may feel comfortable with. The time has come that many have written about and dreamed: we can heal, make whole, and improve the life we live and the lives that others live in many ways, including the most personal. We begin by opening our hearts and allowing the love that floods our own beings to flow out to others with our intention to cause benefit through that flow.

Please join me, and please tell me about your own journey as wounded healer. You can reach me at yes@lightspeak.com or (518) 374-4388 (that’s upstate New York, if you’re interested.)

I always ask the Universe what I should write about and the answer that was given to me came in two ways.

During last night, I was reminded of when I was a very small child and would often times awaken from my sleep confused and scared. Having been psychic since very early childhood and having many abilities that were not open to discussion in a Roman Cathoilic household, or understood by many at the time, I slowly came to realize and accept that I was having out of body experiences, having passed over ones visit me and working with others on other plains and in other times. All quite confusing to a small child and not something easily verbalized to an adult. After having been told several times by one or both parents that it was nothing and to not bother them again, I learned fairly young not to discuss what was occuring and to just seek quiet comfort from being alone in my bedroom by lying on the floor quietly near my parents bed for awhile without waking or disturbing them when it got to be too much and I needed the closeness of another warm human being.

Eventually this was not necessary and I dealt with each occurance. I also recalled my cousin having night terrors - seeming to awaken and screaming out and being unconsolable. So I started to realize that perhaps "dreams" were what I should write about. The confirmation came when my husband rolled over toward me in bed this morning and mumbled something about all of the dreams he was having, though he wasn't awake and he then returned to deep sleep.

Everyone dreams - yes, even you. We dream about many things and in many ways. During our day, our conscious mind is busy working with our senses gathering information. During sleep time, our subconcsious can retreive and process any part of this or other information. Even dreams you don't remember are important. Sometimes we are not ready to process what has been presented in the dream state and so for now the information is stored away for later access at the correct time. Through history, many people have gone to great lengths to interpret dreams. Many people record their dreams in a journal. Sometimes by recording dreams, a pattern can be noted and worked with.

There are different types of dreams. Some dreams have lots of symbolism and are to help you deal with an issue you are having. It is a way of allowing the subconscious to aid the conscious in dealing with life. Some dreams are nightmares or can display as night "terrors." Often times these are past life memories being relived in our dream state. Ignoring them, which many parents like to do, or getting medication to cover them up, doesn't really get at the root issue. Realizing that was another lifetime and that you are safe and won't be harmed during the remembrance is the way to clear them once and for all and to gain a new understanding for yourself.

There are recurrent dreams. It can be like replaying the same movie over and over or the cast and scenery can change, but the base issue is always the same. Generally, some issue in your life is not being addressed and until it is, the dreams will continue. Look at the dream(s) and try to apply the theme in them to your present life and work on resolution and change.

In some "dreams" entities visit us. They can be passed over ones that we know or perhaps don't know, animals or even beings we are not familiar with. Information may be passed through us for ourself or another. They will not harm you. Merely ask what they want if they are not already in the process of telling or showing you.

There are "dreams" where we are helping others or bearing witness to some occurance. We can be on another continent or in another time. Colors are many and interactions occur. When we are alseep our "limits" are forgotten and all borders can be crossed. We can actually leave our body and travel through time and space.

There have been movies and tv series of late that have given some insight into varying parts of all of this. Some have done it better than others. Realize that the possibilities are limitless and the next time you awaken from a dream or someone else starts to tell you about a dream, take a moment and pay attention. What is brought to you is brought to you for a reason. Don't dismiss it or you may be dismissing something that could bear importance to your life.
