June 2011 Monthly Visions: Activating your 'Missing' Vibration


June 2011 Monthly Visions: Activating your ‘Missing’ Vibration

There is so much strong, powerful energy circulating around us right now that I hardly know where to start! The strongest theme that feels to be underscoring everything is that of breaking through those ceilings that have kept each of us limited in one or more aspects of our reality. Stronger even than the busting through theme, is the dawning realisation around why it’s been so hard to make the quantum leaps we have been wanting forever and what we now have to do to ground and embody them.
            We all have something that we have found difficult to manifest or maintain once manifested. No matter how much we journal, meditate, get healings and say affirmations there seems to be one huge ‘quantum leap’ desire within everyone that constantly seems to be an arm’s length away.  This has been coming up so often in sessions this past month, with one primary message repeating itself over again: Your reality is like an album full of songs. If you want to add something that you are finding difficult to create or maintain it’s because that song is not on your album. You have to add that song to your album, and not just add it but stamp it on there so it is a new and permanent part of your vibrational field. It is literally a new aspect of your being that has not been activated up until now, and that is why it has not been able to take form physically on the material plane. If you have been trying to add something that has never been a song on your family album, know that this new vibration is completely unfamiliar to your ancestral energy field and so it literally has been unable to ‘stick’ onto your album in a permanent way. You have to upgrade your cellular wiring, literally infusing it with the vibration of the new aspects that you would like to invite into your reality field.
            The key words here are “infusing it with the vibration”. While it may appear that the love of your life or home of your dreams is the thing that’s lacking from your life, what is actually lacking is an activated connection to the vibration that your energy associates with the manifestation of that thing (and that is different for everyone). First figure out what the ‘missing’ vibration is exactly, and that’s where all that journaling and meditating, and all those healings and affirmations will help.  For example, if you want greater financial prosperity the vibration that is the missing link for you might be worthiness, stability, freedom, power or all of the above.  Abraham-Hicks tells us that if you want to manifest something you need to work out why you want it (eg do you want to feel more secure/more loved/more happy) and then work out a way to feel that right now. It’s also very helpful to work out why part of you doesn’t want it (eg fear of losing freedom, losing independence, being seen as greedy), because that will create major resistance toward letting your manifestation in. Most of this you all know, it’s basic Law of Attraction 101 yet we still have desired manifestations that aren’t manifesting.  Why? Trying to feel something that has never been on your album, is like trying to visualise blue when you’ve never seen blue. We might know that stability is our missing vibration, but if our cells don’t recognise that vibration it doesn’t ‘stick’ and thus we won’t be able to attract it or hold it on a physical level – until we activate it within our cells.
Just a note on any manifestation ‘delays’. Today we’re not talking about the Divine Timing factor which is very real for certain events (eg a specific date may be required by an incoming soul for its conception date), nor are we talking about desired things that aren’t meant for you. We’re talking about that which is desired and for your highest good, that which your soul is absolutely calling you toward. A call which is feeling stronger and sounding louder right now than ever before, and you feel at a complete loss as to what more you could possibly do to let it in. You may have found yourself saying lately something like: “Show me what it is I am not seeing.”
There is a story featured in the film ‘What the Bleep do we Know’ about a tribe of people unable to see ships anchored offshore, because the sight was alien to their usual reality. It wasn’t until a shaman stared out to sea, imagining what he was looking for, that he was finally able to make out the ships. It was only after pointing them out to others that eventually everyone could see the ships. This phenomenon is called perceptual blindness, based on a theory that our brains literally can’t see what we don’t understand, but because the shaman was used to expanding his vortex of perception he was able to open up to the new reality that already existed right before their eyes. There is a similar phenomenon called inattentional blindness, where we don’t see something unless we are looking for it or expect to see it. Christian and I were in the city for his surprise birthday party one night, and I was trying to avoid the party destination until all the guests had arrived so he wouldn’t bump into any of them on their way there. We were casually strolling by the waterfront and it was only later that I found out that a group of our friends on the way to the party had walked right by us and, according to them, we both looked straight at them! They were mortified they’d been seen, and said they just kept walking like nothing happened and acted like they didn’t know us! Two even said they quickly thought “I’m invisible, I’m invisible!”  Christian and I both swear we did not see them! My intention was so strong that we wouldn’t bump into anyone, and he didn’t expect to bump into those particular friends because they’d already made up a story of where they’d be that night, that they literally became invisible to us! This really made me wonder what else is it that we aren’t seeing that is right in front of our noses? Starships? Our dream home? Things we don’t even have a name for yet?
So we know that if our brain can’t see what we don’t understand, or we don’t expect to see something, we won’t see it.  More to the point of today’s topic, our Law of Attraction ‘blind spot’ seems to be that we find it incredibly difficult to have something ‘stick’ to us that we associate with something that is separate to us. We see this regularly in people who win millions in the Lottery only to lose it all within a very short time period. They let the actual money in, but they couldn’t see or feel and thus activate the particular vibration they associated with having that much money whether that was a higher wealth consciousness, worth consciousness or freedom consciousness. One or more of those ‘songs’ weren’t on their cellular and vibrational album!
So the first step is being very aware of what your specific ‘missing vibration’ is, but the real quantum leaps happen once we fully, truly and cellularly OWN that vibration. Our cells can have a hard time owning a new vibration if it is very new to us personally, or ancestrally. It almost treats it like a virus, repelling it from our bodies as soon as it gets too close.  
An image the guides showed to help us own new vibrations – new ‘songs’ on our album - is to imagine the vibration like a golden light filling every single one of our cells, imprinting each cell with the new vibration. We are upgrading our cells to a ‘new normal’. While doing this, it is helpful to feel the new vibration and affirm it. Something I loved was a sentence Oprah said during her final show: ‘There is a common thread running through all our pain and suffering. Unworthiness. Not feeling worthy of owning the life you were created for.’  You are worthy of owning the life you were created for. Our soul’s highest potential life has already been created for us, by us, on a vibrational level. We keep it at arm’s length by not owning one or more bridges linking our physical reality to our vibrational reality. To manifest our soul’s highest potential life, we have to own the vibrations that are the missing links between the vibrational version and the physical version. 
If you want more financial prosperity, I’m sure you have been trying to feel wealthy, and think wealthy, and visualise yourself wealthy but what you need to know is that inviting more wealth into your life is not always necessarily about opening up to wealth consciousness. We all want more wealth for different emotional reasons. Ask what financial prosperity means to you and trust the words that pop into your head. If freedom comes up, this is what you want to infuse into your cells, imagining the vibration of freedom filling your every cell, imprinting itself into every cell. Use a sentence that works for you to help the process along eg “I allow myself to be free, I allow myself to own freedom, I open my every cell and every level to freedom consciousness, I am worthy of freedom”.
            I am fascinated by Epigenetics because this science has proved what we metaphysically already know – our cells carry the memories and beliefs of our ancestors. So take a look at some of the beliefs held by your parents and grandparents (and you will know by noticing the kinds of things they say, their general mentality toward life, the way they live their life etc) and acknowledge where your cells are repeating the songs on the family album. This will tell you what your ‘missing’ vibration may be.  Make your new song “I am worthy of owning stability”, “I am worthy of owning freedom”, “I am worthy of owning (whatever it is you can see your family haven’t owned)” Also, don’t forget all those family sayings that need upgrading. You might have to change generations of “Life is hard...a struggle...you have to work hard to get anything” to “I am worthy of an easy, fulfilling, abundant life.” Remember, this time it isn’t about the affirmation itself, it is about imagining the vibration of this new mentality infusing each and every cell.
            This month is a super powerful time to invite, add and own new vibrations, and breakthrough old, limiting ceilings and preconceptions of what reality can be like.  On June 1-2 we have the New Moon and Solar Eclipse in Gemini (Check for your local time: http://www.yasminboland.com/2011/06/june-moon-times-2/). Imagine a golden vortex of all possible vibrations and invite all the ones that call you to come into every cell of your body. This is followed by a June 15/16 Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse in Sagittarius, activating the Galactic Centre. The Galactic Centre represents the Great Mystery. It emanates very high vibrational energy, and it is our Earth’s coming alignment with this Centre that heralds the ‘era-2012’ ending of one cycle, and beginning of a new cycle. If ever there was a time to imagine, see, feel and ‘lock in’ new vibrations, both for ourselves personally and for our world globally, now is that time. Now is the time to breakthrough old restrictive ideas around what life has to be like, and burst forward into a completely new paradigm where life is greater than we can even currently imagine possible. Now is the time to activate your inner Imagineer and really go for it – the energy of Now says nothing is impossible, nothing is not do-able, everything is possible and everything is do-able. We just have to stamp it onto our vibrational fields and get into the feeling space of knowing that that is our absolute destined reality and destination.  From there take inspired action whenever guided to do so. Inspired action is different to logical action in that it typically doesn’t involve the most logical route to a destination, but it does lead you down the easiest, most magical route.
            We then have the Summer/Winter Solstice on June 21, which is International World Peace and Prayer Day as organised by Chief Arvol Looking Horse, Keeper of the White Buffalo Calf Pipe, and Spiritual Leader of the Lakota, Dakota and Nakota people.  On this day all peoples of Earth regardless of race or religion are invited to join in prayer for peace and harmony for all living beings, including Mother Earth. It is a day of balance, with the Northern Hemisphere experiencing the longest day of the year and the Southern Hemisphere the shortest. 
            Now is the time for ‘all hands on deck’.  We are all a piece of the giant humanity jigsaw, and your piece makes a difference. On June 21 take some time to make your contribution to the next chapter in humanity’s evolution and new album. Say a prayer, light a candle, vision from your heart imagining what a beautiful, peaceful, harmonious world would look like. If you have a passion for animals, the environment, music, creativity, media, education, health or any other area, you might like to specifically focus on what those aspects of life look like in your ideal world. It doesn’t matter if you spend 30 seconds or 30 minutes, it is your heart-felt intention that counts. Just as you can activate a new vibration within your personal field so too you can help to activate a new vibration in our collective field. Don’t think that vibrational action is a bit of fluff that has no real impact on physical reality. It has tremendous impact (check out Dr Emoto’s work with water!).
            Although it’s technically happening next month, there is a second Solar Eclipse on the July 1 New Moon in Cancer, so we really aren’t going to be able to ignore the acceleration of energy over the next 4-6 weeks. Eclipses are much like tornado’s in that they can pick you up without warning, and set you down in some new location several miles down the road. Whatever direction you are pulled to or called to this month, know that these winds of change are working to uplift you and upgrade you.  Bless them, thank them and breathe them in!

May 2011 Monthly Visions: Moving from False Authority to Authentic Autonomy


May 2011: Moving from False Authority to Authentic Autonomy

I’ll be honest. I had a hard time getting in the space to write these Monthly Visions this month. Yep I forgot April’s Monthly Visions advice to connect to my inner zero point and I was hovering out of my Vortex for about a week there. How many times have I written ‘don’t let external events determine your inner reality’? Yet something well and truly took the wind out of my sail on May Day: The official announcement that Osama had been killed, and the ensuing celebrations by flag-waving patriots that they had finally smoked the evil one out of his cave and dumped him in the ocean where he belonged. The SuperMan good guys scored a goal for Team “Truth, Justice and the American Way” and the world could sleep a little more sound that night.  Hmmm...
Leaving the topic of ‘Is he or isn’t he dead?/Has he actually been dead for years?’ debate aside, did anyone hear any mainstream news media commented on the astounding amount of data indicating that perhaps Osama and Al-Qaeda weren’t behind 9/11, but that there may have been other forces with other agendas at work there? Did anyone hear any mainstream news media mentioning how many innocent civilians, international journalists and troops have been killed in Afghanistan and Iraq since the US and coalition’s ‘War on Terror’ – it’s estimated the figure is 303 times the amount of people killed on 9/11!!! We are talking almost a million people!! (You can find some interesting figures backed up by official sources here: http://www.unknownnews.net/casualties.html) 
As masses of the population united in a collective Shadow dance of ‘the bad guy is dead’, our personal tendencies to project onto the Other all that we disown and fear within was on high beam display.  In reality nothing, whether on the personal or global level, is so black and white. There is no ‘us and them’. Rarely is the ‘good guys and bad guys’ story as clear cut as the movies would have us believe. Yet May Day showed that we still love a good movie as long as we all live happily ever after, with no real conscious thought or action or questioning on our part.  The real causes of our terror may still be lurking in the shadows, but pointing out someone else who we believe is ‘really bad’ makes us feel relieved, as if that somehow absolves us of any such badness.  In actual fact, all we are doing is abdicating our responsibility (three words that have come up many times this week) to find the real causes of our problems so that we can powerfully find real solutions for our dreams and desires. Why do we do this? As scared as we are of living with fears and restrictions, are we even more scared to actually live with authentic freedom? And in a nutshell, this is really what sent me off balance this past week, pondering how many people on this planet are still unconsciously choosing the illusion of freedom at the cost of quite the opposite for not only themselves but millions of others?
Yet how can one choose an alternative door of reality or reality perception if you really don’t see it or believe in it, or think your door is perfectly fine? And who are we to judge anyway?  Doesn’t every spiritual master say that all doors and choices are fine, that everyone has their own path to their own destination? Yet one thing just keeps bothering me. While I respect everyone’s decision to choose the door of choice for them, it angers and saddens me no end that not everyone can see ALL the doors!!  None of us can. How is that a fair choice? How is that freedom? It isn’t and that is why we have all been looking forward to this Shift for so long. This is known as the time of revelations – when all that is hidden is revealed with our graduation gift being a rise in vibration and consciousness for the whole planet and everything on it, opening us to more doors of reality and perception and choice. Bring it on, I say!! I want to see all the doors available to us, I want everyone to see all the doors available to them! Then choose away to your heart’s content!
Yes I know the whole theme of this huge cycle we’ve been karmically travelling has been about experiencing certain doors and intentionally being blind to others...blah blah....but we’re coming to the end of that cycle now, right? So, I’m thinking it’s high time some more doors starting getting blasted open for more people. Yes I know it’s happening, I’d just like to see it happening a lot faster with more gusto. Sure everything in its right time – but surely that includes our own inner alarm clocks that are ringing loudly, arousing us from our spiritual slumbers and awakening us into a new phase of conscious action. Our awakening has a greater purpose beyond the personal. Our awakening has a planetary, collective purpose, and it is time for more of us to step into that greater purpose.
It is true that all we each have to do is be our best possible true self, and we will be fulfilling our role in our giant jigsaw. Change starts within, and you can’t change anyone except yourself. Yet it is time for us all to expand what we believe we are capable of doing as individual beings. It is time for us all to expand our concept of just how influential and inspirational our individual actions and thoughts can be. While we are not responsible for shifting others, that can only happen from within, we are all responsible in our own way to shift this awakening up a notch, if we feel called to do so. By that I mean, if you work for a magazine for example and you keep getting a nudge to run a certain story but are sure the editor will say no, don’t just give up before even trying. Pitch the story, and even if you don’t get that story published, maybe you’ll get something close. Point being, we all need to stop automatically deferring to external authority, and start following our inner autonomy.
On the upside regardless of which side of the conspiracy theory fence you are sitting on, one thing is being made very clear: the majority of people do want freedom and peace and I believe that that collective desire will get us there. Some of us might get there in a harmonious way, others a more challenging way, but surely being united in a common desire counts for something when it comes to co-creating a different kind of future?
There is a story of a positive little boy who upon entering a room filled with manure smiled widely saying “With all this s*@$ there must be a pony here somewhere!” So too, with all this heavy Shadow stuff  intensifying on not just the global level but in many of our personal lives, there must be a massive amount of incoming truth and light creating that Shadow!
The best way to hand over all power, control and responsibility for our lives is to believe in lies. The problem is, what happens if we have believed a lie for so long we just assume it’s the truth? How do you stop believing a lie if you don’t even know it is one? How do you even decipher between what is truth and what is not?  Asking someone to ‘tell you the truth’ isn’t necessarily going to work, because they might be totally convinced that what they are saying is true even if it is not.  This becomes dangerous when they are in a position of authority, whether it’s your parent, teacher, doctor, priest, political or spiritual ‘leader’ or nightly news broadcaster. We rationalise ‘well this person I see as my authority, or the authority on the matter, said it, so it must be true.’  Unless we were lucky enough to be raised in a conscious environment, we never really learned to think with our hearts, to feel with our souls, to sense with our energy. Quite the opposite, we were taught to completely ignore those things and to ‘do as you’re told, stop questioning everything, you’ll get into trouble with that kind of attitude’. If we did learn to do these things, we would soon start seeing the difference between truths and lies as clearly as if a neon light was flashing above someone’s head.
With ‘the Apocalypse’ now coming toward us like a speeding train (this is a good time to remind everyone that Apocalypse means ‘lifting of the veil’, ‘revelation’, ‘that which has been hidden to be revealed’) we are currently experiencing a personal and collective lifting up of the carpets. While the upside of this time of revelations is that much truth is being and is yet to be revealed, the other side of the process is that all the lies that have been swept under the carpet are coming up like a choking dust storm. New lies that don’t want the old lies to be revealed are emerging out of nowhere. Old lies that you thought had died long ago are suddenly in your face again. 
Deeply imbedded family beliefs that your cells may have carried without your conscious awareness are likely confronting you in one way or other. It may be blatantly and directly or subtly via the blocks you keep coming up against that are intensifying now. We are becoming aware of where we are still holding on to our parent’s or grandparent’s beliefs/lies like ‘you’ll never afford that’, ‘you can’t make a living doing that’, ‘get back to reality’, ‘who do you think you are’ and so on. 
The good news is, for those who are starting to think with their hearts, feel with their souls and sense with their energy, anything that is not true is clear as a bell. Everyone has their own body signs of when they hear something that is true, or not true.  Some of us experience truth as tingles in our body, our heart beating excitedly, an inner knowing of ‘yes’ this is true, or a general inexplicable feeling that is as strong as knowing the difference between a train track clicking into place or not. Some experience lies as having no energy, like the voice saying it is hollow or disconnected from something, like a knot in the stomach or a general sick or cold feeling. Everyone is different, but where we are all the same is this: your body knows the difference between something that is true for you, and something that is not. It is really, really, time to start listening to your body!
In these times of ‘revelations’, we can expect both major truths and major lies or distortions of truth, to confront us. It’s time to take responsibility for how we choose to respond to what it is we hear and see. We need to think twice (the second time with our heart if not the first) before we believe what we are told just because it comes from someone ‘in authority’.  A word of warning: if you choose to see and perhaps even share what you feel is truth, you might be dismissed as crazy, a conspiracy theorist or a leftie hippie, all meant to infer that you just have no common sense, are unpatriotic and just don’t understand how the world works. The irony is, you may be standing there with a truckload of intelligent, factual evidence supporting your case, but such is the stronghold of ‘authority’ that people will ignore a truth unless it is made ‘official’ by someone in ‘authority’.
It is time to let go of our addiction to false authority, and turn inward to our authentic autonomy. If we believe that the big bad boogeyman outside us can threaten our lives, we also must believe that there is someone outside us who has the power to better our lives.  We are the ones who have the power to change our lives. We are the ones who will determine how our world looks in 2013 and beyond. As the Hopi say, We are the ones we have been waiting for.

Message from a Mayan Elder

Message from Don Alejandro, Mayan Elder:

"At the time of the 13 Baktun and 13 Ahau is the time of the return of our Ancestors and the return of the men of wisdom. That time is now. Arise, everyone, stand up! Not one, nor two groups be left behind the rest.This prophecy is in reference to all: rich or poor, black or white, men or women, indigenous or non indigenous, we all are equal, we all have dignity, we all deserve respect, we all deserve happiness; we all are useful and necessary to the growth of our planet to make it a place where we can live with respect among the different cultures.

According to the Maya Long Count Calendar, we are finalizing the 13 Baktun and 13 Ahau, thus approaching the YEAR CERO. We are at the doorsteps of the ending of another period of the Sun, a period that lasts 5,200 years and ends with several hours of darkness. After this period of darkness there comes a new period of the Sun; it will be the 6th one. In each period of the Sun there is an adjustment for the planet and it brings changes in the weather conditions and in social and political life as well.

The world is transformed and we enter a period of understanding and harmonious coexistence where there is social justice and equality for all. It is a new way of life. With a new social order there comes a time of freedom where we can move like the clouds, without limitations, without borders. We will travel like the birds, without the need for passports. We will travel like the rivers, all heading towards the same point the same objective. The Mayan prophecies are announcing a time of change. The Pop Wuj, the book of the Counsel, tells us, It is time for dawn; let the dawn come, for the task to be finished."

April 2011 Monthly Visions: Connect to your Inner Zero Point


So it’s not enough that we have Doomsdayers out there trying to convince everyone that we are approaching the end of the world. (Apparently they have an inability to comprehend that there are calendar cycles far superior to and older than our familiar 365 day cycle, and that just like we start a new calendar cycle every January 1, so too do we start a new cycle every 5, 200 years, and every 26, 000 years, as we are about to do now. And just like the world doesn’t end every December 31, nor does the world end every time we get to the end of a longer calendar cycle!). Now we also have the Denialists showing up at the opposite extreme, basically saying there’s nothing happening, nothing at all, nothing to see here folks, move along.
I watched a video blog piece today by a well known author that said the Mayans simply didn’t get around to finishing their calendar, kind of like half-finishing a book, and so there’s no significance to the end date!!  In actual fact, they did finish the calendar and there is huge significance to the specific amount of days covered in what they call their Long Count. It is a very precise calendar incorporating the Pleidian star system of which our Sun is a part, and the movement of our Earth in relation to our Galactic Centre and Equator. So precise in fact that they knew the exact moment that Earth would be aligned with a point in space that the ancients referred to as a ‘crossroads’ and a point of spiritual awakening. They knew precisely how long it would take to get to that point. They knew precisely that a cycle around our Spiral Galaxy takes 5, 200 years and that every approx 26, 000 years we would experience the culmination of a Great Cycle corresponding with the Precession of the Equinoxes (the Earth’s wobble that alters the direction of it’s Polar Axis). We are at these points now! Sure it’s all very complex so it’s okay not to understand it, but to suggest that life will continue on as normal, perhaps in an attempt to reduce fear, is missing a grand opportunity to be a conscious, active participant in the transformation of our Earth and ways of living.
Denial of the Shift feels to be rooted in the same fear of change held by the Doomsdayers. Denialists don’t want to see signs of Winter, meanwhile Doomsdayers are blind to the coming Spring. Both must therefore be scared that Winter signifies a permanent ending of life, rather than acknowledging the natural cycles of life that ensure we evolve not stagnate.  We need to love, accept and embrace all phases of this cycle. Yes the Earth is shaking, and yes much will collapse, but we didn’t come here to sit and cry amongst the rubble for our lost reality. Now is the time to be like the mythical Phoenix, who at the end of her long life builds herself a nest and sets it alight. She emerges from her own ashes as a new egg, ready to be reborn and live a new long life. The beauty of this story is of her graceful honouring of the natural cycles. She doesn’t see her fiery end as a failure, she simply knows when it’s time to ‘change bodies’. She doesn’t fear ending one life, because she knows a new one awaits. Just as spring and the dawn follow our winters and midnights, so too will a new cycle follow the old. Just like the transformation from one season to another doesn’t happen overnight, so too our cyclic evolutionary transformation won’t happen overnight or occur on one certain day.  It is happening right now, and to deny it or fear it, is to stick our heads in the sand during one of the most spectacular transformations ever to happen to a planet with a humanity of 7 billion transforming right along with her.
Earth is literally shedding her skin like a snake, wriggling out of her old vibration and rebirthing into her new vibration. Every single event occurring right now that looks like collapse or destruction is a huge wake up call opportunity for us. As we rush to re-build homes demolished by earthquakes and floods, are we going to re-build in the same old ways or are we going to take this opportunity to build sustainable, off the grid homes using renewable clean energy and recycled materials? As we witness the meltdown of the nuclear reactors in Japan are we going to listen to the politicians trying to convince us that nuclear plants are still essential and low-risk, or are we going to listen to our hearts that are telling us the risks of nuclear plants far outweigh the benefits, and that we have alternative energy sources available that are zero risk to the health of all living beings on this planet. I am tired of governments and corporations selling out the wellbeing of humanity for money! They do this with wars, with pharmaceuticals, with toxic chemicals, enough already!  
As Earth sheds her skin we are experiencing changes in our magnetosphere, the field protecting our planet from space weather. So we are feeling affected more and more by Solar Flares, and the incoming frequencies of the Galactic Centre.  Lately you may be feeling dizzy, lightheaded, like you are a bit out of your body and not quite ‘with it’, you may feel you need to sit down or pull over in the car, you may be experiencing headaches or migraines, and feel like you need to lie down more regularly. On top of that, you may be highly sensitive to the movements of the Earth as she goes through her Changes, and highly empathetic to the Changes being experienced by your brothers and sisters around the world as they go through their personal and community upheavals. Thus, you may be more emotional than usual, crying intensely, feeling sad or depressed.
The theory is that the changes in our magnetosphere will continue until we get to Zero Point, at which moment we will literally be 100% exposed to space weather and thus the full frequencies of the Galactic Centre. It is said that in that moment we will have the opportunity to have our veils blown fully off us, to have our minds blown wide open, to have a moment of knowing all, remembering all. If you have watched the movie Limitless, I am guessing it would be kind of like that but even better, and without the drugs! 
As you can imagine constantly being influenced by these changes, along with a reality-altering moment of heightened awareness that turns everything you thought to be real and true upside down, is enough to make a person crazy – unless you are tuned in to your own personal Zero Point.
And that’s where we seem to be at right now. The strongest message right now feels to be ‘find your inner Zero Point and learn how to connect to it and stay in it.” What is your inner Zero Point? It is a space in which you feel Centred Stillness. It simultaneously feels calm and energizing, you feel connected to the core of the Earth and the heart of the great central Sun, you feel connected to your own authentic/higher self and Source Energy. You feel protected and know that no matter what, you will be okay – whether in this body or without this body. Your soul is powerful and continues to live no matter what.
In this space of inner Zero Point, there is no fear for there is nothing to fear. Fear is simply the head turning away from Source, from Love, from Consciousness, from Truth. To be in your Zero Point is to be highly aware of everything, yet not react erratically like one of those bouncy dolls that sway to and fro in reaction to every punch.  This emotional tendency to react to external events whether in our own home or on the other side of the world is something that makes us human, yet when we are not connected to our Inner Zero Point our reactions are erratic and often make us feel helpless and powerless. When we are connected to our Inner Zero Point we can observe what is happening, and feel in a hyper aware way what is the best thing to do in any given moment. To be in your inner Zero Point is not to be in numbness or apathy. From your inner Zero Point you are free to respond consciously, from a space of inner wisdom and higher consciousness. From your inner Zero Point you are in your Power and connected to your Higher Power. You do not fear collapse because you no longer see it as destruction, rather you know it to be part of the process of rebirth and rejuvenation.
With increasing amounts of Earth changes, political and social changes, and fear running riot around the planet, it is very important that we each know how to connect to our inner Zero Point and as much as possible live from that space.  We can drive ourselves crazy reading websites that are telling us this country is safe, that area is not, get to a high mountain, start storing food etc, but the right guidance will be different for every person.  From your own inner Zero Point, you will intuitively be guided as to what is right for you. If you need to move, you’ll feel it. If you get an urge to plant vegetables and fruit trees, do it. If you get the feeling to put a crystal into the Earth somewhere, go for it. While certain events do need to happen during this transformation process, we don’t have to experience this time in a freaked out turmoil. We can move through it with calm, grace, power and positive thoughts and actions. Certainly the people of Japan have shown us that this approach is possible even in the worst of circumstances.
From our inner Zero Point we can consciously use our powers of intention and manifestation for the highest good. We can vision a new Earth, a new reality for humanity, one that is based on greater truth, harmony, authenticity and freedom. We can say goodbye to the fear and the numbness that has kept us trapped in the old illusion where truth was hidden.  Very importantly, we can practice discernment. What rings true for you? What resonates? What doesn’t? As the incoming light bombards the planet over the coming 20 months, you can bet that the ‘darker’ energies, will rise up like you’ve never seen before.  Prison wardens don’t really like to see their sources of power (us) flee the prison! So nothing would surprise me. Anything to try and keep people in fear and terror. Use your discernment when you hear something on the media. Ask yourself, does this feel true?  Don’t feel we are in a battle here of Light and Dark, rather think of it as a People’s Liberation as we finally SEE both the light and dark and are thus freed. That which is hidden from view (both light and dark) has kept us repressed and controlled.  As truth is revealed, we become free, empowered beings who can truly start to be the conscious co-creators of our reality.
So how do we get to our inner Zero Point? Every one has a different way that works for them. Essentially connecting to our inner Zero Point means finding a way that you can instantly access that deep place of stillness and bliss experienced during meditation. We can’t walk around meditating with our eyes closed all day, nor might we have time for a 20 minute meditation should we find ourselves in the middle of an earthquake!  You want to know how to plug in instantly, and live plugged in to your Zero Point. For those that find words and affirmations powerful, you can daily say something like “I am connected to my Higher Self. I am connected to the Highest Source of Truth Love and Light.  I am connected to the Core and Heart of Mother Earth. I am aligned with my best possible self, best possible reality and best possible movement forward”. Or you can find other words that feel good to you. You don’t need to use the words Inner Zero Point unless they particularly resonate with you – this isn’t any sort of official name for it, it’s just words they have used to describe the point we all need to connect to right now within. If you love connecting with your breath, use your breath to connect to it, perhaps focusing on your Solar Plexus. If you are visual, there might be a symbol or image that instantly takes you to that place where you are out of the drama, and in the zone of All that Is. Some people highly resonate with the words I AM, or Om Namah Shivaya (I bow to my true identity/my inner self). There is no one way, there are many ways. Use whatever works for you!
As our new collective Phoenix rises from the ashes, truth will be revealed, our vibration and consciousness will be elevated, and we will truly start to live as if born anew. For some this has already happened, and if you are in this group you will already feel a state of calm, peace and higher awareness more days than not. For others still in the birth canal so to speak, know that this greater reality is your destined reality. Connect to your inner Zero Point and love yourself forward. Let this be your ultimate authority, and ultimate guide. YOU are your own ultimate authority and ultimate guide.
