YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO ASCEND IN THIS LIFETIME

Humanity and Mother Earth, also known as Lady Gaia, are on the brink of a very positive and critical evolutionary turning point. Humanity and Mother Earth/Lady Gaia are heading into the "Golden Age" or "New Reality", as it is referred to by some, and are going to be ascending from the 3rd dimension to the 5th dimension in the New Age of Aquarius.

This transition has been foretold by many prophets in the past. The "Book of Revelations" in the bible refers to the New Reality or Golden Age as the "New Jerusalem". Edgar Cayce has prophesied that the "Day of the Lord" will come and that "The Lord will come . . . when those that are his have made the way clear for His return". (Source: Edgar Cayce, Modern Prophet published by Gramercy Books). I believe that the "those that are his" that Cayce refers to are the 144,000 Rainbow Warriors along with the millions of Lightworkers and Lightbeings on the planet today. The Mayans have predicted that the "Old Reality" as we know it will end on December 12, 2012. Their calendar also ends on that date.

It is the plan of the higher powers that Mother Earth and humanity make this ascension. It is important to note, however that each individual soul has a choice as to whether or not they will ascend in this lifetime. Ascension is an opportunity, not a mandate. The souls who decide not to ascend in this incarnation will be guided to other planes of reality.

We are being given the opportunity to realign with our higher spiritual selves and to again live in a state of unconditional love, fearlessness and joy. We will be reunited with our true mate, our twin soul. Humanity is being given the opportunity to live in a "Heaven on Earth" environment. War, hatred, hunger, ignorance, fear, greed, pain and sorrow will be things of the past. We will be released from the karmic death and rebirth cycle. Earth life will exist in an environment of peace, harmony, balance and love. The higher truths will again be revealed to us. Does this sound too good to be true? It is very wonderful and it can be your experience, if you choose it to be.

WHY IS THIS NEW AGE SO CRITICAL?

We are entering a new 2,000 year, or more precisely, a new 2,152 year astrological Age, the “Age of Enlightenment” or the “Age of Aquarius”. However, we are also entering a new 25,824 year astrological cycle. We have just completed the Age of Pisces and Pisces is the 12th astrological sign.

This new 25,824 year cycle is opening the gateway to the “New Reality” or “Golden Age”. Our earth is entering the Photon Belt and that is allowing higher light to hit the earth plane and the consciousness of man. Another function of Lightworkers is to help ground this higher light into the earth to further enable the overall ascension process.

The Mayans prophesied that this “Golden Age” would officially begin on December 12, 2012. The”Golden Age” refers to an age when everyone is in complete alignment with their true spiritual self and is mated with their very own twin soul.

Many people that I know, including myself, have reported seeing the numbers 11:11 very frequently. This is a signal from our unconscious that the gateway to the “New Reality” is opening and we have the opportunity to step through to achieve ascension. It is also interesting to note that December 12, 2012 reduces to the master number 11. The master number 11 represents enlightenment and spiritual truths.

LIGHTSEEDS – THE NEW GENERATION

Lightseeds or Indigo children are a new root race that is starting to incarnate on the earth plane. These children of light are sometimes called “Indigos” because those that can see their aura relate that it is a deep indigo color. These children are born knowing their “true self”. They are very highly evolved, sensitive, compassionate beings that are seeding our earth in preparation for the new reality. They are the next generation.

A BLESSED JOURNEY

We are very blessed to be here on the earth plane at this specific time in the evolutionary process of humanity and Lady Gaia. The higher powers, who love us unconditionally and eternally, are always there supporting us and loving us, no matter what stage we are at on our evolutionary path. Although our individual paths may be different, all paths eventually lead to the same destination - a state of oneness with our fellow beings and our Creator Source - "The All That Is".

WHAT IS ASCENSION?

Physics deals with those concepts of energy and the vibrations and movements of those energies that can be understood and seen with the physical senses. Metaphysics, which literally means beyond or at a higher state than physics, deals with the concepts of energy and the vibrations and movements of those energies that are beyond our human senses. From a metaphysical standpoint, ascension is primarily moving from a lower vibrational frequency and state of consciousness to a higher level of vibrational frequency and state of consciousness. The actual vibration of the physical body is raised and the physical cells of the body become crystalline in order to accomodate the higher vibrational level. Some people experience what are called "ascension symptoms". Some of these include vibrational flu, an increase in their ability to hear higher frequencies, strange food cravings and a garden variety of other possible symptoms. The physical body is undergoing profound changes during the ascension process, so it is probable that the individual will experience some ascension symptoms.

During the process of ascension, the individual reconnects to their fifth dimensional lightbody and their light quotient is also raised. The two strands of DNA inherent in every human being operating in the 3-dimensional realm begin to transmute to 12 strands, which are needed to operate at the 5th dimensional state of being.

Ascension is actually experienced in phases or initiations. During certain levels of initiation, part of one's actual spirit self descends to reside in the physical body. Each stage or initiation has certain physical, emotional, mental and spiritual experiences and symptoms associated with it. For further understanding of these stages, I would recommend Archangel Ariel's book chanelled by Tashira Tachi-ren entitled "What is Lightbody" or one of Dr. Joshua David Stone's Ascension series books. Also, the following is a link to an article by Archangel Metatron channelled by Laurie Gilmore entitled "The Ascension is Life lived From Joy". This article offers a lot of detailed information regarding the lightbody initiations.

From a spiritual standpoint, as we ascend, we learn to embrace more fully and align with our higher self which is also referred to as our Christ Self. Once the Christ Self is fully embraced, we then operate from the perspective of our Christ Self. Put in other words, we become our higher self or Christ Self. The Christ Self is the intermediary between the human personality or soul and the mighty "I AM Presence - the Divine Self". The human soul cannot reach the "I AM Presence", except through the Christ Self. The following graphical depiction may help to clarify this a bit.

SOUL GROUP

When we as spiritual beings were originally created, we were a Divine Spark or an actual piece or spark from our Creator Source - The All That Is. This Divine Spark is also known as The I AM Presence. There are billions and billions of I AM Presences existing in our universe.

Our I AM Presence resides in a much higher dimension then we, as humans do. Therefore, in order to experience the lower dimensions, each I AM put forth 12 Higher or Christ Selves, as depicted in the chart above.

An even further breakdown was necessary in order to descend and experience 3-dimensional existence. Therefore, each higher self put forth 6 soul extensions or 6 hermaphroditic souls. A hermaphroditic soul is a soul that is a perfect blend of both the male and female polarities, which reflects the image of the God/Goddess Source. Since 3-dimensional reality operates under the law of duality, each hermaphroditic soul had to split into their male/female parts and become two half souls. Each soul that animates a human body is in reality a half soul.

As we ascend and work our way up through the ascension levels or initiations, we reverse the process of descent and start to realign with our Higher self or Christ Self and then our Divine Self or I AM presence.

Each individual Higher self is over 12 individual soul personalities and each I AM is the Divine Self for 144 individual soul personalities. For further clarification of the relationship between the human personality, the Christ Self and the Divine Self, please click on this link, Chart of the Divine Self.

The purpose of this article is to give a very brief overview of the ascension process. In order to gain a much more in-depth understanding of ascension, I would highly recommend Dr. Joshua David Stone's books "A Beginner's Guide to the Path of Ascension" and "The Complete Ascension Manual - How to Achieve Ascension in this Lifetime".

MY PERSONAL ASCENSION PROCESS EXPERIENCES

The following discusses techniques, tools, concepts and individuals that I have been guided to so far in my own ascension process. Some of what I will talk about may resonate with you and some may not. There is no one specific way to work on your own individual ascension process. Be assured that your guidance will gently assist you and lead you towards the means and methods of ascension that are right for you. I am simply sharing my own experiences as they may help you to understand some of what happens during the ascension process.

As an initiate on the path of ascension, you will notice that as you travel upward on your path, you will naturally start to disassociate yourself from the “herd consciousness” of the world. The key is to be in the world but not of the world. The materialistic, ego-centered way of the world will begin to lose appeal. You will become less interested in the material and more interested in the spiritual aspects of life.

THE BEGINNING OF MY SPIRITUAL AWAKENING

I can still remember these experiences, the first of which occurred in 1989, as if they occurred yesterday. I was resting in my bedroom on a beautiful spring afternoon in 1989. The sun was streaming in through the window and a fresh, gentle breeze moved the venetian blinds occassionally. The birds were chittering happily outside. A feeling of complete peacefulness and calm permeated my entire being.

Suddenly, I was aware of a presence in the room. At this point, I became paralyzed and couldn't move any part of my body nor could I open my eyes. However, I wasn't afraid. The presence sat down on the side of the bed where I was lying. I know this because I actually felt the bed sink down! Next, I felt a hand grasp mine and at the same time, the presence, which I intuitively knew to be female, was cooing to me as a mother would to a child. Then three charges of energy went through my arm and down through the center of my body, stopping at my root chakra. This did not hurt and in fact, was quite pleasant. In my mind, I heard a female voice say "you are deeply loved". Then the bed rose back up as if whoever was sitting on it stood up. At that point, I no longer felt the presence. Was I dreaming? It didn't feel like it. I truly felt I was wide awake during this occurrence.

About five to six years later, I had a similar experience. However, this time the energy transfers went through my foot and the presence, which I felt to be male this time, wasn't as affectionate as the first one and seemed to be more businesslike in nature.

Subsequently, over the next few years, I asked several people with occult knowledge what they thought could be the purpose of these visitations. No one could give me a clear explanation. I have since learned from my guidance that these visitations were to initiate my spiritual awakening process.

EXPERIENCING TANTRIC UNION WITH MY TWIN SOUL

In 1998 I met my Spiritual Twin or Twin soul who is the Alpha polarized half of our spirit to me, the Omega polarized half of our spirit. When I met my twin, we experienced tantric union and this ignited my kundalini and I experienced kundalini rising. This process that occurs when the spiritual twins come together is referred to as tantric or inner union. The Lovers tarot card explains this "inner union" very well. In a beautiful book entitled "The Tarot and You" by Lindel Barker Revell, it is explained that "the Lovers tarot card speaks about love and lovers. Stories and myths tell of the importance of a "sacred marriage" to spiritual growth. This inner union with the Beloved of the Soul is as important as outer union with an earthly beloved". Therefore, when the spiritual twins meet, the tantric union that occurs facilitates kundalini rising and the uniting of the earth chakras to the heaven chakras. This is the metaphysics behind the beauty of the love between twin souls. It is not necessary to be with your twin soul in order to experience inner union. This is explained in more detail in my Spiritual Wholeness article.

As an interesting sidenote - my male twin's natal sun which is masculine and yang in nature is in a very tight conjunction with a 1 degree orb to my natal moon which is feminine and yin in nature. Another highly resonant male/female astrological vibration that my twin and I have between us is our Mars/Venus contact. My male twin's Mars is in Aries which is masculine Mars's natural astrological home. My Venus is in Libra which is feminine Venus's natural astrological home. These very balanced male/female energies between Mars/Venus and Sun/Moon were very positive astrological vibrations of resonant energies to be in place and very conducive for the above mentioned kundalini ignition that I experienced.

Other positive astrological aspects that we share are the Sun (him) conjunct the Ascendant (me), Venus (him) conjunct the Moon (me) and the Ascendant (me). Another very positive aspect that we have is a Chiron(him)/Midheaven(me) exact 0 degree orb conjunction. Some astrologers believe that the MC or midheaven represents the crown chakra or spiritual awareness of the individual and that the IC or Imum Coeli represents the root chakra of the individual. Chiron is the bridge to spiritual awareness or the unconscious. "Chiron is the energetic gate from form (or Saturn) to higher awareness, Uranus. Uranus is illumination; it is kundalini breakthrough" (Barbara Hand Clow from "Chiron - Rainbow bridge between the Inner and Outer Planets" pg. 10). Therefore, one of the interpretations of the Chiron/Midheaven(MC) conjunction between individuals is that the Chiron person is empowering the MC person to reach enlightenment or the crown chakra, which connects to the higher self. The Chiron person heals the person they connect with in the area they connect in, therefore, my twin was in effect healing my consciousness by triggering my spiritual awakening.

In an article entitled "Toward a New Scientific Astrology", Dr. Narada Moy, the author, states that the Nadir (base chakra) represents the Divine Mother or Shakti energy and the Midheaven (crown chakra) represents the Divine Father energy. Dr. Moy states that "The crown chakra is the that attracts to us the light of the Divine Father, the I AM Presence, while the base chakra, integrates this with the material world, the Divine Mother, the Shatki energy of accomplishment". The Father (Sun) gives the light to the Mother and helps to heal her. So this Chiron/MC synastry connection between my twin and I means that my twin is giving me the Father energy to help heal my connection to my higher consciousness. My twin had to connect with my crown in order for me to take in his healing father energy, since it is the crown that the father energy comes through - My twin was directly and powerfully connecting with my crown with a zero degree conjunction - the most powerful aspect available- in order to give me healing father energy.

To further corroborate this interpretation, on the day that my spiritual twin and I met, the sun was transiting my natal moon and was in a zero degree conjunction with my natal moon, which is in my 12th house of the unconscious/subconscious. Symbolically this means that the sun (represented by my twin) was lighting up my subconscious/unconscious (represented by my moon in the 12th house). This sun/moon conjunction that occurred in the sign of Gemini on the day we met also indicates the total unification of the male and female energies.

Additionally on the day we met, transiting Pluto (planet of deep and permanent transformation), was conjuncting my natal Jupiter (planet of wisdom) and sextiling my Venus (planet of love). These Plutonion contacts manifested permanent and deep transformation in my life in the areas of wisdom and love.

With the exceptions of our Mars/Venus contact and Chiron/Midheaven contact, all of the other aspects between my twin and I that I have mentioned above occur in the sign of Gemini, the sign of the twins.

Please be aware that each twin set will have different astrological configurations between them and that the astrology between my twin and I will not necessarily be the same as that between you and your twin. This will depend on many varied factors including shared and individual karma, talents that the twins share and so much more. It is not always easy to determine if individuals are twin souls based on their astrological synastry. I really learned through my own intuition that he was my twin soul and then the astrology simply corroborated this for me.

In summary, when two individuals with strong resonant energy vibrations come together, as is the case with twin souls with their positive/negative, male/female energies, their energies blend in the lower chakras and this awakens the kundalini.

HEALING PAST LIFE WOUNDS

After I met my spiritual twin, my guidance led me to a spiritual guide and teacher who is a very highly evolved "Starseed". She has a very deep understanding of the metaphysics behind the ascension process and has generously helped me with her vast knowledge.

After meeting my spiritual guide and teacher, my guidance gently persuaded me to get several past life readings. In one past life regression, I was able to tap into and reintegrate some very strong talents I innately had, but didn't fully trust or realize that I had. It was very necessary for me to realize that I have these talents because they are very useful in my endeavors to fulfill my earthly mission.

Another reading brought me to a very painful and traumatic past life. This traumatic past life left a scar imprinted on my lower emotional body that I needed to release in order to progress in my ascension process in a more balanced and integrated manner. The lower vehicles (i.e. the physical, emotional and mental bodies), especially the physical and emotional vehicles hold a lot of the traumatic events from the current life and past lives. In order to progress in the ascension process in a balanced manner, the lower vehicles have to be purified and cleansed of dense energies because the clearer and more purified they are, the more of the higher vibrational energy from spirit they can hold. An individual can be progressing very well in their ascension process in the higher auric layers but still be very much fear and ego guided due to dense energies in the the lower bodies or layers. Once these scars from past life and/or current life traumas and painful experiences are transmuted, then the lower vehicles can also hold more of the higher vibrational energy of spirit.

In my own experience, my spiritual guide entered my energy field and brought the past life information through to me. As she was in the process of doing this, I experienced unpleasant physical symptoms related to the emotions of this past life. In fact, I closed her out of my energy field when she was doing this. I had to go into a meditative state and visualize myself helping her go into this past life before she was able to proceed fully. But the process of bringing this painful past back initiated the healing of the past life scar as the negative emotions associated with it began to be released. As the scar continues to heal, my ascension process will proceed in a more balanced manner. My spiritual guide explained to me that this healing process is not immediate and may take a while. But with my own intent, I will be able to move healing energies through this area and further transmute the scar. Shortly after bringing up the negative emotions, I almost immediately noticed a sense of lightness and freedom. My spiritual guide also did a vibrational healing session with me to help further transmute the scar.

THE USE OF AURA PORTRAITS AS A TOOL IN AIDING THE ASCENSION PROCESS

A year or so after my spiritual guide and I worked on the above mentioned past life scar, my inner guidance led me to get an aura portrait done. In April 2002, I decided to to this. Although I had been consciously working on my ascension process, my inner guidance indicated to me that I still had some clearing work that needed to be done on my lower bodies.

I had my aura portrait, which can be viewed further down in this article, done by THE 3rd Eye (http://www.3rdEyeGuidance.com) - Evolutionary Guidance for the New Millennium. I had worked with The 3rd Eye several times in the past and was nothing short of thrilled with their work with me. My spiritual guide at The 3rd Eye is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I always receive very insightful, comprehensive and appropriate spiritual advice and answers to my questions. Therefore, I have no hesitation to very highly recommend them. Check out their website to read about all of the types of readings and services that they offer.

It is my current understanding that the human aura consists of 7 layers and each layer corresponds to one of the 7 main chakras in the physical body. Each auric layer vibrates at a higher rate than the layer below it. This also corresponds with the chakra system. Each chakra vibrates at a higher rate then the chakra below it. The chakras closer to the earth vibrate at a slower rate and the chakras closer to the heavens vibrate at a more rapid rate.

The first 3 layers of the aura are the physical body or etheric aura layer, the emotional layer and the mental layer. The physical body layer is a direct reflection of the health and well being of the physical body. The emotional layer directly reflects the emotions and feelings of the individual and the mental layer reflects the thought and mind processes of the individual.

The fourth layer is referred to as the astral layer. This layer connects the 3 dimensional physical world to the higher spiritual realms.

The fifth, sixth and seventh layers are known respectively as the etheric template layer, the celestial layer and the ketheric template layer. In general, these layers reflect the higher spiritual and divine configurations of the individual and vibrate at a higher rate than the lower layers.

The following are two aura portraits which were done for me by the 3rd Eye. These were done approxmately 1 year apart. I would like to share some of what I learned from my aura readings in this article because I think it will give the reader a good idea how a reading of this type can be really beneficial to the individual on the ascension path. My Spiritual Guides at The 3rd Eye have kindly given me permission to use the aura image as well as their quotes from my aura readings in this article.

FIRST AURA PORTRAIT - APRIL, 2002

Aura Reading from The 3rd Eye (http://www.3rdEyeGuidance.com)

Evolutionary Guidance for the New Millennium

The three markings on the physical body are imprinted on the lower auric layers. My Spiritual Guide first discussed the red semi-circle located on the pelvic region. She felt that the red semi-circle was in the physical body. She stated "this energy feels hot to me and seems to have some pain associated with it. It does feel as if it was in the physical body, so it would be related to female organs, colon or bladder areas. The energy doesn't necessarily feel in the form of dis-ease but a more contracted type of feeling". My Spiritual Guide then offered some suggestions regarding how I could work with this area to help the tissues, muscles and organs in this area relax which would allow the "traumas contained within them to bubble up to the surface". I have the DNA activation cd's from Visionary Music and she suggested that I use these to guide me further into the area and help me to bring forth the information contained in this area. She explained that "the etheric bodies are affected so it is important to work with the energy on these layers to which can be affected by your intent".

I was amazed by this because I had two C-sections in this area. This red semi-circle marking aligned exactly with the surgery done in that area. My Guide also felt that the red semi-circle had some ties to a traumatic past life and she also recommended that I remember that when clearing the energy related to the red semi-circle as well.

My Spiritual Guide next explained the origin and nature of the blue/black oval shaped imprint on the right side of my body. She said that it "felt very contracted and seems to be holding energy in the physical and emotional bodies. I felt like I wanted to stretch this side out when I experienced its sensations. It seems to hold some past life energy within it that at one time was quite immense - something like a severe physical trauma brought on by an emotional filled event. There feels like there has been a lot of healing effort that has released a great deal of this trauma and some bodywork in this area would be good as well as some stretching and breathing into it".

Again I was amazed! I explained to my Spiritual Guide that I had often felt an aching pain in this exact location. I often asked my husband to rub it for me. I asked her if past life traumas could manifest as physical aches and pains in the current lifetime and she responded "Yes, absolutely". My yoga teacher had also noticed the tightness in this area when she was adjusting one of my postures. She suggested some postures that would help to stretch this area out.

Next we discussed the small black bar above my right breast. She explained that "this felt like someone pushing down on that side of the chest area and it seemed to be a large contrast from the left side. I feel it has threads of energy with the blue/black energy and emanates from the pastlife as well. However this spot goes back another lifetime for its origin. It also was much bigger at the beginning of your life this time around and has been subsiding. The same thing would be good for this area - some deep tissue bodywork as well as some expanded breathing into this area."

After that we moved on to the yellow/orange energy on the 4th or Astral layer around the head and face. My Guide said that "this is primarily affecting you in your dream states and your astral travels as well as entering into your meditative states. Basically it is too busy. Too much processing is taking place and not enough letting go into the energy. It is as if you are trying to figure it out as opposed to just experiencing it for what it is. Trying to define the experiences or direct or control them with thoughts and analysis."

This made a lot of sense to me because at the time of the aura reading, I had been doing some very deep and contemplative study of many metaphysical/spiritual writings and teachings that I feel I am being led to and are being channeled to me from the spirit world by my spirit guides. This intense mind activity happens in spurts with me. When the reading was being done, I had just been led to a vast amount of information that I was reading, contemplating and trying to assimilate. My mind sometimes works overtime when I am in this phase, so it made total sense to me that my guide saw this area as being entirely too busy. Her suggestion to me was to balance this out a little more and "for every hour of reading and studying, spend an hour in meditation assimilating the energy/information on the higher levels. She explained that using the Visionary Music DNA cds while studying and while meditating would help to bridge the gaps in my knowledge and stimulate the intuitive side to pick up where the intellect leaves off."

I fully agreed with this sage advice and I am currently working to maintain a more balanced approach to my study and meditation habits.

The final area of discussion was the blue/white energies found on the fifth layer of my aura. My guide related to me that this is beautiful energy. She felt that "this energy is very evolutionary and very transformative. She explained that "this is it's purpose and the more you tune into it, the more these lower layer imprints will be transmuted and cleared. In your meditation work, extend your consciousness out to this layer of the field with your intent. If you are not totally familiar with this energy already, then spend considerable amount of time focused in this frequency. Again the DNA music will really assist you here. Shamballa (also from Visionary Music) is also a great piece to work with in this range. Learn how to become very familar with this vibration range. Once you feel you have resonance --you will know this by a deep level of peace that comes over you when you align with it -- then start to slowly bring it down through the other layers of the field. This will have a tremendous impact on the 4th layer's yellow-orange energy and will really assist in quieting the conversations in this realm. Bring it to the 3rd, 2nd, and 1st layers and into the physical body. Gradually let it blend with each of your organs, then down into the cellular levels to the DNA.".

I explained to my guide that I had lately intuitively detected these blue and white energies and also felt these energies to be very beautiful and peaceful. I have lately been experiencing a wonderful feeling of peace and joy. I also asked if these energies could be resultant of my conscious efforts to work on my ascension and she responded "yes, absolutely". I mentioned that my guides have lately been encouraging me to wear a blue sapphire, which is the carrier of the blue ray, in order to bring more blue ray energies into my energy field. She stated that the "blue sapphire energy would be beneficial for enhancing this connection" to the blue/white energy frequencies. I also learned later on that these blue/white energies flooding the 5th layer were indicative that I had entered the 2nd level of lightbody initiation. In her article entitled "Creation of the Lightbody", Jasmuheen states that during the second level of lighbody initiation, "the etheric blueprint floods with light". The 5th layer of the aura is oftentimes referred to as the etheric blueprint.

I am continuing to work with these energies in the ways that my Spiritual Guide from The 3rd Eye has recommended to me. I feel as though I have started to make some positive progress. I plan to schedule a vibrational healing session with my guide in the next month. After that, in approximately 3-4 months I will get a follow-up aura portrait done so that we can determine my progress. I will keep you posted and update this article as I progress in these areas.

I have recently learned about a crystal called green aventurine that is very helpful in purifying the lower three layers of the aura (i.e. the mental, emotional and etheric layers) and the physical body as well. I am currently using a green aventurine sphere necklace to help cleanse and balance my lower auric layers and physical body. It is my understanding that a sphere necklace is the best form of green aventurine to use initially as it allows the green aventurine energy to fill and purify the aura and physical body most efficiently and readily and has a general overall effect.

2ND AURA PORTRAIT - MAY, 2003

ANIMATED IMAGE - WAIT FOR ANIMATION

Aura Reading from The 3rd Eye (http://www.3rdEyeGuidance.com)

Evolutionary Guidance for the New Millennium

I was very excited to receive this aura reading because it allowed me to actually see how my ascension process was progressing and to also see where any remaining problem areas were so that I could work on healing them. Although my intuition and guidance had indicated that the process was rolling along nicely, it was also great to get a visual confirmation.

On the lowest auric layers, my spiritual guide at the 3rd eye picked up a brownish/black band on the waist. She felt that it was related to being emotionally cautious and protective and that it was the remains of a traumatic pastlife event that had affected the physical body. When she looked at my previous aura portrait done in April, 2002, she sensed that the brownish/black imprint was related to the blue/black spot and the red horseshoe energy. However, the brownish/black imprint looked more positive in nature.

My guide also noticed that green waves of energy were moving in and she felt these were related to my processing sessions and told me that the green energy would ramp up when I set my intent to clear and release. I explained that about a month before this reading, I had been guided to wear a 4 mm green aventurine sphere necklace and a 6 mm green aventurine sphere bracelet. I had learned that green aventurine dissolves emotional blocks and purifies the lower auric fields. It was very helpful to see from this reading where the block was so that I could now consciously breathe the green healing energy into this space to further enable clearing and releasing it.

My guide gave me some suggestions on how to further release this imprint and any effects it may have had on my physical body as well. She also told me that as the white energy in layers 3-7 steps down more to the physical level, I would be able to release this more and more.

Next we discussed the brown/red/blue energy in the deep chest to throat area. This imprint was covered up by the red/orange energy on the 4th auric layer when the first aura reading was done and now that the red/orange energy had cleared, this imprint was revealed, according to my guide. She felt that this imprint originated from a pastlife trauma which was due to deep fear of a very primal nature. The initial imprint came from the very first time I ever experienced such a deep level of fear. However, she felt that due to the light blue energy in the area, some healing work had already taken place. I explained that I have been working on releasing fear by speaking my opinions/beliefs/truths in front of groups of people. Lately, I had been in situations where I had to do this and my guide felt that these were great opportunities to help release this imprint. I further explained that I had been wearing a blue sapphire necklace and the blue ray energy was being brought down to the lower auric levels to help heal this imprint also, which my guide confirmed. She gave me some advice on how to further clear and heal this imprint.

Next, we moved to the green spikes of energy moving down from the groin to the inside of the thighs. My guide stated that this was a release of the red horseshoe energy and was very positive and spiritual energy that was sexual in nature. It was helping to release my creativity and also indicated that I was coming to peaceful terms with all of the accumulated past life sexual abuse I had either received or imposed on others. She gave me some advice that would help to open this energy up more in this area.

Finally, we discussed the white energy emanating throughout layers 3-7 and the pink and blue ribbons of energy coming in from the upper dimensions. My guide stated that this was a very powerful space which I should try to explore more deeply. She stated that the pink and blue energy was information, guidance and mostly love. My guide said that she had extended out to 12 dimensions and still saw the energy coming in towards me. She stated that this energy was the result of at least a years worth of my intent and effort.

I stated that I felt that the white energy indicated that my light quotient was increasing and that I was gaining a stronger connection with my lightbody, which she confirmed.

I explained to my guide that over the past year or so, I have been consistently working with Visionary Music's DNA activation cds and their Shamballa cd. Also, I have been very consistent with my meditation and yoga practices and setting my intent on clearing my energy blocks. I have been working to balance my chakras using crystals, music and yoga and I had a fantastic chakra balancing session with the Third Eye in July, 2002. Also, I have been craving and eating food high in prana and light such as algae/seaweed, wheat and barley grass, etc. I have also learned that by wearing the most natural fibers on my body, it helps to maintain the integrity of the auric field and also helps the energy flow better.

My guide stated that all of this was beginning back when the blue/white energy showed on the fifth auric layer on the first aura portrait and is more pronounced now as it fills up much of my auric field. She also said that the DNA activation cd's are very instrumental in helping to bring this energy forth and anchor it to my energy field.

I also felt that the blue and pink energy coming in was love, wisdom, guidance and information as my guide did. I also believe, as my guide stated, that all of this started for me at least a year ago when the fifth layer of my auric field had filled up with blue/white energy. As I mentioned above under the section explaining the first aura portrait, according to Jasmuheen in her article entitled "Creation of the Lightbody", 2nd level lightbody initiation occurs when the etheric blueprint floods with light. The fifth layer of the aura is often referred to as the etheric blueprint. The higher we progress in the lightbody levels, of which there are 12 in total, the more we can integrate the higher vibrations of our true/divine self.

I explained to my guide that I believe that the blue and pink energies were coming from my Monad/I AM/Divine Self. As you can see from the animated aura reading, my lightbody is very well defined and there are also pink and blue ribbons of energy coming in from the 12th dimension. As I stated before, my guide from the 3rd eye stated that she had extended out to 12 dimensions and still saw the pink and blue energy coming in towards me. She is a highly evolved shaman who is capable of projecting or extending out into the higher dimensions. Our source universe has 12 dimensions in total and the 12th dimension is where the Godhead (I AM) resides.

I have learned that as we progress in our ascension process, we raise our vibratory rate so that more and more of the high vibratory energies of our higher spiritual self can download and integrate into our energy field. We then become more and more our true or divine self. Therefore, when I saw the blue and pink energy coming into my energy field from the higher dimensions, I felt that this confirmed that my Monad was now sending energy to my energy field for me to integrate.

I was extremely happy with these aura readings and learned a lot from them. But I still feel that I have a lot to learn about this entire process and I am very excited about the learning experiences that still await me.

ACTIVATION OF THE TWELVE STRANDS OF DNA

As I discussed earlier in this article, part of the ascension process involves transmuting our DNA from the current 2 strands to the 12 strands that we need to operate in the 5th dimensional state of being.

The DNA mutational process can be expedited through the application of certain frequencies of light and sound. I have been working on activating my dormant DNA by using sound frequencies extracted from the ethers by cybershamans. The ones I use are from Visionary Music. Visionary Music believes that these cds are "a powerful tool for all Lightworkers involved in grounding their work to Planet Earth". These cds can be used in a variety of ways, some of which I referred to in the section about my aura portrait. I believe they are a wonderful and invaluable tool for anyone on the ascension path.

Pam Murray has written an excellent article entitled "From Two to Twelve Strand DNA". Ms. Murray stresses that "there is no one right way to activate all twelve strands of DNA. It all depends on your incarnational heritage . . . ". Ms. Murray offers some very good insights and meditations, which may enhance the activation of the twelve strands of DNA.

BALANCING AND ALIGNING THE CHAKRA CENTERS

There are seven major chakra centers in the physical human body. They are commonly referred to as the root chakra, sacral chakra, solar plexus chakra, heart chakra, throat chakra, third eye chakra and crown chakra. Each chakra center corresponds to a specific level of spiritual, emotional, mental and physical expression. The word chakra literally means "wheel" in Sanskrit. Those that have the capability to "see" the chakras describe them as spinning energy wheels that emanate a specific color.

Life force energy also known as prana or chi flows through the chakra centers. When the chakra centers are balanced and aligned on the kundalini then the chi or life force energy can flow through them freely.

A chakra point is considered unbalanced if it is either blocked (deficient in energy) or too open (an excess of energy). This happens when it is not vibrating/spinning at its proper rate. Every chakra center vibrates at a specific vibrational frequency. The higher chakras (those closer to heaven) vibrate/spin at a higher vibrational frequency than the lower chakras (those closer to earth). The level of consciousness expands as one moves up through the chakra centers.

An unbalanced chakra can cause the individual to manifest negative physical, emotional, mental or spiritual states for the level of consciousness that the particular chakra center corresponds to. For example, an unbalanced root chakra may manifest qualities of fear, lack of confidence or lack of determination within the individual. Whereas an unbalanced sacral chakra can lead to a pleasure seeking mentality. These unbalanced states inhibit the individual from connecting in a balanced manner to their true spiritual self. Therefore is it important to consciously work at balancing the chakra centers in order to expand the consciousness, raise the vibration and grow spiritually in a balanced, healthy manner. The keyword here is balance as an either too active or too underactive chakra can manifest unbalanced conditions for the individual.

You may even want to consider getting a chakra reading from a qualified reader before doing any work on your own in order to get a good idea regarding which chakras may need work and appropriate advice on how to do that work. Some readers also offer chakra balancing sessions in which they will work to help you balance your chakras.

In my own ascension work thus far, I have been using yoga and resonant sound and color energies in my endeavors to balance my chakra centers.

Consistent yoga practice is excellent for balancing the chakra centers. Yoga has so many wonderful benefits for the mind, body and spirit. I cannot say enough about how much I love yoga and what it does for me. My husband and my best girlfriend also attend yoga class with me and they both tell me that it has changed their lives for the better.

Another method I use to balance my chakras is resonant sound vibrations. Our chakras resonate/vibrate to specific sound frequencies. The root chakra vibrates to a lower sound frequency than the chakras above it since it is closer to the earth. The crown chakra vibrates to a higher sound frequency than the other chakras since it is closer to the heavens.

One of my favorite sound tools that I use to balance my own chakras is a cd entitled "Chakra Chants" by Jonathan Goodman. This cd incorporates the sacred vowels, instruments and Shabd sounds attuned to the exact frequency for each chakra center. You can also chant along with it for added benefit. I use it during my yoga/bodywork practice as well as during meditation.

Chakra crystal bowls are also sound tools that can be used to balance the chakras. My yoga teacher introduced these to me. She has a set of seven chakra crystal bowls and each one is tuned to the sound frequency of a specific chakra center. She often plays them in our yoga class to help us balance our chakras with resonant sound energies.

Color energy can also be used to balance the chakra centers. Each chakra center resonates to a specific color energy from one of the 7 rays.

The 7 rays together make up white light which represents divine consciousness in totality. Each of the 7 rays represents an aspect of divine consciousness. White light can be seen to be broken down into the 7 colors of the spectrum through the use of a prism. As the white light passes through a prism, it is split into 7 colors (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet). Conversely, if these colors are put back together, they create white light.

I have also been using gemstones, rock crystals and stones to balance and align my chakras and bring the 7 rays into my personal energy field. There are many different ways to use gemstones, rock crystals and stones. One common method is to lay the gemstone, rock crystal or stone on the corresponding chakra center during rest or meditation. They can also be worn on the body as jewelry. I often just hold them in my hands during meditation or lay them around me during yoga practice or meditation. I'm sure there are many other ways to use these stones but these are the primary ways that I currently know of and use myself. It is a good idea to have them reiki cleansed after you buy them so that any negative energies they may have picked up before you bought them can be dispelled. Also, they can be cleansed every so often in a solution of sea salt and water.

The following is a brief summary of the characteristics of each of the 7 rays.

ST. GERMAIN'S VIOLET FLAME


St. Germain is the chohan of the violet ray. The violet ray has the highest vibration of all of the 7 rays. The violet flame is the pure, powerful essence of the violet ray. It is a gift to us from the ascended masters and is designed to help us evolve spiritually in the New Age of Aquarius. The violet flame can be invoked to purify and cleanse our spiritual beings, removing karmic debris and raising our vibrations. The following link, ST. GERMAIN'S GIFT OF THE VIOLET FLAME
gives a lot of wonderful and detailed information about the violet flame.

WHITE LIGHT

White light is representative of the totality of Divine Consciousness. White light encompasses all of the 7 rays and therefore works with all the levels of consciousness.

Clear quartz is one of the purest and most powerful carriers of white light and works with all of the chakra centers. Try to purchase the highest quality clear quartz that you can find without flaws or a cloudy quality. I had my pieces reiki-cleansed by a reiki healer before I started using them. In this way, any negative energies that were picked up by the stones before I purchased them were cleared out.

INTERPRETING YOUR NATAL ASTROLOGICAL AND NUMEROLOGICAL CHARTS

I have been a student of astrology and numerology for many years now and I can honestly say that astrology and numerology really work. I had my natal astrological chart and numbers read by a professional astrologer/numerologist many years ago and since then I have been totally hooked.

If you don't have the time or the inclination to buy a few books and read about astrology and numerology yourself, it would be a great idea to go to a professional and have your charts interpreted for you. The insights you can glean about your inherent nature and your life inclinations and trends will be well worth it. Astrology and numerology can pinpoint your latent talents and skills that you may not know you have. Also, you can learn more about any karmic trends (positive and negative) that you have brought into this life and work with these trends to your benefit to enhance your personal growth and self mastery.

Astrology and numerology work together and you will see that your astrological chart and numerological chart will corroborate one another.

MANTRAS, YOGA, PRAYER AND MEDITATION

During the course of my spiritual awakening process, I have become an initiate on the yogic path. I cannot even begin to tell you how much yoga is helping me to progress in my ascension process!

Yoga can help to awaken the kundalini energy which can lead to spiritual enlightenment and ascension. Kundalini is literally interpreted as "she who is coiled" and is often referred to as the kundalini serpent coiled at the base of the spine and residing in the base chakra. Yoga practice enables the prana or vital energies to be stored in our bodies. Prana exists in both positive energy form (prana) and negative energy form (apana). When these two energies meet in our base chakra, the kundalini energies awaken.

Kundalini energy is very powerful and should be handled very carefully. If kundalini energy is awakened too quickly, it can result in a very painful experience and bring up a lot of negativity and difficulties when it mixes with an individual's innate negative emotions. I think that it is best to work with a yoga teacher and take classes in the beginning in order to have support in case you have any negative emotional experiences. My yoga teacher has related stories in which individuals became very emotional and almost traumatized by the negative emotions that can come to the surface. This is good because these negative energies can surface and be cleared away, however, if it happens too quickly, it can be very hard to deal with. I recently read a story which related Hare Krishna's enlightenment process. Hare Krishna felt some difficulties when his kundalini rose too quickly and even he, a very highly spiritually evolved individual, had difficulties dealing with that. From what I understand, this type of experience is pretty rare, but my advice is simply to work with a trained yoga teacher that will help you pace yourself in the beginning.

As the kundalini energy is awakened and an individual begins to experience kundalini rising, this serpent energy starts to uncoil and make it's way up through the chakras in the body. As the kundalini energy passes through the various chakra points, it awakens the various states of consciousness that reside in those particular chakra centers. When the kundalini energy reaches the crown chakra eventually, the individual's superconsciousness or higher self is awakened and the individual experiences "enlightenment".

Another means of helping an individual reach higher consciousness is the use of mantras. Mantras are syllables or sequences of syllables that have a special power when repeated. These syllables help an individual by allowing the individual to tap into universal vibrations that lead to a state of oneness. "OM" is one of the most popular mantras. I practice repeating "OM" many times during the day. I can actually feel the resonant vibrations very deeply in my body.

Meditation and guided meditation are helpful to get in touch with the inner voice or guidance. I must stress that it is very important to invoke the protection of one's higher self and to surround oneself with white light when meditating. Also ask that only the higher beings that are there for your highest good come forth. In this way you protect yourself from any negative forces that may try to influence you. You can also incorporate mantras into your meditation process to help gain a more relaxed state of mind.

A great website to check out that offers some free meditation lessons, which also includes some free audio lessons as well, is WILDMIND.ORG.

Sincere prayer that comes from the heart is very powerful. I often pray and give thanks for all I have been given in my life and for the love, protection and guidance that I receive. I am truly grateful for all the beauty and love I have in my life. Sometimes if I have a specific problem that is troubling me or I need help in some area of my life, I pray for support and I always receive it in some form or another. My yoga teacher often tells us that prayers of thankfulness are very, very powerful.

CONNECTING TO THE FIFTH DIMENSIONAL LIGHTBODY

The following is according to Tony Stubbs in his book “An Ascension Handbook” and Tashira Tachi-ren in her book “What is Light body”. Both authors are in total agreement as to following regarding chakras: Seven chakras are in our physical body and we also have non-embodied chakras or chakras outside of our physical body which brings us up to 14 chakras. For example, Stubbs tells us that the "eleventh chakra is your soul group level, the twelfth chakra is the Christed level of your spirit-self, the thirteenth chakra is the I AM presence and the fourteenth chakra is the Source".

Both authors talk about the “Alpha” and “Omega” chakras.The "Alpha" and "Omega" chakras have a completely different blueprint from the other chakras. According to both authors, the Omega chakra grounds us to the consciousness of “Mother Earth” and resides approximately 8 inches beneath the root chakra. As we ascend, we will ground to the planetary consciousness from the Omega chakra rather than the root or base chakra. The “Alpha” chakra is approximately 6 -8 inches above the crown chakra. The crown chakra is attached to the silver cord that links us to our higher self. The "Alpha" chakra connects us to our 5th dimensional light body. The "Alpha" and "Omega" chakras have been latent or vestigial until very recently. Many individuals are currently experiencing reactivation of these chakras to prepare for the upcoming ascension of both the earth and humankind. In addition, both authors tell us that as these (re)activations of the Alpha and Omega chakras occur, the center chakras start to open up. This allows them to take in frequencies and energies from the higher dimensions as well as allowing them to radiate energy outward.

At this point in my journey, I am in the process of connecting or identifying with my 5th dimensional lightbody. Many millions of lightworkers are currently undergoing this same process. Lightworkers are of the "Service to Others" polarity and the light they emanate helps to raise the vibration of the planet and humanity. Also, each lightworker has specific talents and has the ability to serve humanity in their own unique way.

Our lightbodies expand multidimensionally. According to Tashira Tachi-ren in her book channeling Archangel Ariel entitled “What is Lightbody”, there are 12 levels to our lightbodies. I cannot even begin to touch on the concept of “lightbodies” in this article. If you are really interested in learning more about lightbodies, I would really highly recommend Tachi-ren’s book.

DIET

The food and water that we put into our bodies directly affects our emotions, mind, body and spirit. The food we eat contains vital life force energies a.k.a. prana, therefore, the higher the quality of the food we eat, the higher quality of the life force energies that are incorporated into our bodies.

Try whenever possible to eat organically grown foods that contain fewer pesticide residues and also contain more vitamins and minerals. Have you ever looked at an organically grown carrot compared to a conventionally grown carrot? In most cases, the organically grown carrot has a much deeper orange color indicating that it contains higher levels of beta-carotene. I think they taste better too! Also, try to drink pure, toxin-free water. I have been a vegetarian since the age of 18 and I am 42 years old now. I do, however, eat some fish and cheese, but not a lot.

I've recently learned that fresh ginger root is a fantastic ascension food! It helps to not only clear out toxins and mucous from the physical body but it also helps to move trapped negative emotions, energies, etc. from the psyche and the auric field. Although ginger root comes in many forms such as powdered, capsules, etc., it is fresh ginger root that has the strongest energy and yields the strongest effects. I have also started to transition to lighter, whole, live foods such as algae and baby green barley grass. I have noticed in my own ascension process that heavier foods no longer appeal to me as much. The green food product that I have been using lately is called Dr. Hagiwara's Green Magma. This product is a convenient powdered baby barley grass which you simply stir into juice or water and drink. It is 100% organic and contains phytonutrients such as antioxidants, enzymes, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, protein and chlorophyll. I believe that as I continue in my ascension process, I will transition to these lighter whole foods more and more as I continue to lose cellular density. For more information on green foods, check out www.greenfoods.com.

It is important to note that during the ascension process, however, due to the multiple changes occuring in the physical body, you may experience cravings for certain types of foods and that includes meat. Therefore, listen to your own body and eat what you crave.

EXPERIENCING THE "VOID" OR "MYSTERY" TIME PERIODS

The first book I was led to when I started experiencing accelerated spiritual growth was "Spiritual Growth - Being your Higher Self" by Sanaya Roman. In this book, the "void" or "mystery" period is explained. The void is a time period in which you may feel that your ascension process has come to a complete halt. However, although it feels like that is the case, it really isn't. The void can last for hours, days or even months.

The void is a time period in which you can recharge, rest and prepare for the next level of initiation. If you use the void to your benefit, it can be a time of letting go of the old and embracing the new. It is simply a matter of surrendering to spirit and believing that all is progressing the way that it should.

FUTURE UPDATES TO THIS ARTICLE

I will continue to update this article as I continue to move forward on my path and learn more about what can be done to help the personal ascension process.

In the spirit of love to all,

Jade
