[This was part of a larger group conversation with my teammates channeling others, but I’m only posting the portion that I channeled … but Mother Mary’s message is still valuable on its own! — Rob]
Mother Mary: Greetings, all. Yes, this is Mary, here to join you to help you settle in.
This is a time of settling in. And as such, it is a time of nurturing yourselves, whatever it is that you need, and that will be different for each of you, for everyone. This is a time of allowing, allowing whatever events may occur in your life. Just let them come. It’s all for a purpose.
Your focus should be on whatever you need to do to nurture yourself, what makes you feel good about yourself, feel good about your life and the way things are transpiring, with no expectations. Just have fun each and every day.
At the end of the day, so long as you can look back and say, I feel good about this. I did what I could. I took care of myself, and I let the rest go. That’s all that’s required at this time.
And if I may add a point about this notion of the energy [to be cleared] being heavy, I would point out that energy is only heavy if you assign it that attribute. Energy is energy. It all comes from the One, the Source. Humans describe it as heavy because it feels that way to the physical body. But again, that is based on an assignment of an attribute that you, yourself, are putting on that.
It may have stemmed from some experience in the past that has weighed you down, that has held you back, but upon releasing it, it need not be heavy anymore. Let it go. Let it simply float away.
If the energy is from others, from society, letting any past experiences go, the same applies. It is as light as a feather if you choose to see it that way. The exhaustion comes from attempting to hold on to it. Let it go, and you are free.
Yes, there are increased energies hitting the planet, in your environment, but again, I go back to, do what you need to do to nurture yourself, to just allow without resistance, without expectations about what this may do to you, or how it will may make you feel physically. Let those go. Just enjoy it for what it is.
[This was channeled a while ago, but the trend of draw the card on Charity continues. I still receive this particular card (alot!), but this was the start of it. — Rob]
Rob: Yeah, this is gonna be my personal guide, Malika [who appears to me as a dancer and always having fun]. She’s literally skipping down the roadway.
So Malika, anything to share about the card on Charity? What is it that I need to know, since I’ve gotten the card three times in the last week and a half?
Malika: Hey, Rob! Just having a fun day. I know your day might have been somewhat trying, but that’s why we need to connect — to remind you to just have fun, to see the glory in all life in all its forms.
Yes, three year olds [my grandson] can be trying, but that’s only because you’re trying to put them in a box. The spirit of a three year old is free; wants to explore, wants to play, moving from one set of toys or activity to another, completely uninhibited by any sense of rules. It is the adults who are trying to place rules and constraints, and I would encourage you to put yourself into the mind, into the body, into the spirit, of a three year old. Just have fun. That’s what life is meant to be.
And the whole notion of Charity, yes, it really is about being charitable to yourself. You have no problem with giving to others, giving of yourself to others. This is a strength. The real lesson for you, though, is are you really allowing for the energy, the love, to return? Are you taking that in? And just as importantly, are you being charitable to yourself? As you pointed out, there are markers that say perhaps not.
So take this as an opportunity to feel what it means to be charitable to yourself. You’re feeling at this point, having so much to do, [that] your to do list never ends. There’s always something calling you, asking you to perform some task … relax! It’ll all get done, sooner or later. Whether it’s paying the bills, doing boat work, doing the yard work, it’ll all get done. It always does. Just have fun with it.
These are things that you do. They don’t define who you are. Just something to occupy your time while you’re here, in between times of having fun. And there’s no reason that doing those activities themselves can’t be fun. So I would encourage you, as the Buddha has pointed out, that even in the paying of bills — a task as mundane as that, loaded with such emotional energy — can be viewed as a return to yourself, putting something out to the universe and allowing whatever the universe wants to return to come back to you. Take that in. Feel the growing strength within you to deal with this more and more in the future. That in itself can be a lot of fun.
So you know me. That is my trademark — it’s all about having fun, about dancing through life. I know you don’t like to dance, but WE will work on that … and yes, I’m including your teammate in that.
So with that, I will allow others to ask any question that they may have.
Channeling OraMiel, my Angel guide ~ between Christmas 2023 and the New Year of 2024
Jennifer: I have to share a funny image. When I settle it down into my heart, I think of it as the shaft of a well, and there’s water at the bottom, and I sink down into the water. And this time that water kind of widened out… I saw myself just on a raft down at the bottom of the well with a tequila, with a margarita, and then I saw the Divine Mother and Divine Father on either side of me, on their rafts, with their margaritas! … [Laughs]
Rob: Doin’ shots!
Jennifer: Oh, my gosh.
OraMiel: It’s that sinking down within, into a whole interior universe that opens up within, getting beyond the limited human with all of the concerns. It’s a little like housekeeping, as far as this time of year [goes]— the corners are swept and some of the dust that comes up, some of the dust bunnies are enormous, they have fangs! (laughter) [These could be] energy which hasn’t been attended to, or old habits, or getting into any sort of feeling of inadequacy, or ‘too much’ or …
It all gets cleared out. Blow it out. Blow it out your nose. [Laughs] Blow it out your ears! Clean out the old and you bring in the new. Make room for the new. If you’re going to have a little baby, certainly, you would clean the bed, the bassinet — not necessarily go and buy a brand new one, which is what’s done nowadays. But in the many centuries before, a place of resting of the new life would be cleaned, refreshed, purified with water and sunlight, with herbs, incense.
Not in any way to add to the to-do list but only to remind you that this is a time of renewal, a time of whisking away the old and preparing a place for all to be born anew. It’s good to remember this is also a time for peace within.
We were jokingly sending an image of running your mouth, which would [look] like a little waxed lips running down the road, [i.e. talking so much] when, in fact, the most helpful thing at this point, especially if any of you get over-extended at any time, is to sit in your well. Allow the well to fill with renewed waterfalls of bright love, cascades and shimmers and foam and droplets, making beautiful spheres, renewed energy, life, like being reborn within you, in your heart.
It is good to know that what you do not accomplish in one time period may be completely let go. And what will be most effective for you for the new year will be brought to you anew. It may have echoes or bits and pieces of the old design, but it will be made new. And do not think that you need to carry with you all of your intentions that were not yet fulfilled. Just breathe deeply and slowly within each moment. Be sure, you are getting your oxygen. Feed yourself with your breath, with the love that comes with that and proceed once full, once settled, once at peace, having tasted the quiet, the birth of stillness within.
We are receiving some questions about who is speaking. We would suggest that it is Jennifer’s angels, the one that she likes to call OraMiel, ‘Prays Honey.’ We attend to you at all times, my dear, and if you do not particularly seek another, or ask for another, we are always happy to have a little bit of time with you. We do not rush in — certainly do not compete. We hold the space for you with our palms toward you, at all times sending you love.
Each of you have your own circle with those of us in the pure form of love. We do serve you, we respond to your requests. We assist you with your beseechings, those things that you feel are a little bit beyond you at the moment.
Nothing is beyond you, dear ones, but there are times, we understand in the human journey, where you do not feel up to something. You do not feel capable by yourselves. It’s been perfectly planned by your Father and your Mother, perfectly planned when you requested this adventure into the physical.
A very long time ago, when you began to make your explorations with separation, we promised you in your wholeness that we would continue to remind you that you are never alone, but that if you wish to taste loneliness, it would be part of the experience. You know that when you taste aloneness you quickly shift into all-oneness, so it is through the aloneness that you find the oneness. But the loneliness is the forgetting.
And it is wise in this time when so many are reaching out to those close to them that you remember those who feel they do not have anyone close to reach out to or those who they would want to reach out to have time and again rejected their offer, rejected their presence, rejected reconciliation. That is true loneliness. Be mindful of those that you are aware of who are on their own and send a message, make a call, make a visit, whatever you have the impulse or in the moment that you are in — each moment is different.
Some moments will contain hours, and some hours will contain moments. Your perceptions are all different, depending on your energies. The more settled you are, the more time you have. So again, this helps you if you will settle deep within your heart, into that lagoon that is lit from below by the colors of turquoise and gold, green and deepest earth.
This is a snapshot of my favorite nearby Lighthouse taken the other day on a late afternoon walk (that’s 3 pm at my latitude). I love the colors of the grasses and shrubs, the dark reds and pale tans, against the intense blue water. there is such beauty everywhere in Nature. And I was delighted to get a pic with absolutely no tourists in sight. This Lighthouse is a prime attraction most of the year. That’s fine, because everyone is enjoying its beauty, strength and grace – but it’s great to be here alone now and again- I can sink deeper into connecting with the energy of the place. It was serene. Nature knows all about pacing.
It’s such a busy time of year for us in the North, scurrying to prepare for winter and heeding the seasonal and cultural reminders to gather in your friends and family in one way or another. Make sure everyone is safe, everyone is loved, everyone is okay – at least okay enough. We all have our journey, but one of the things that comes up for me to learn every year at this time is to pace myself, and I’d like to share about that. The other night while I was channeling, with Rob and two others, we were guided by these words from the presence of Divine Mother.
“You wonder if you are diluting your own energies by attempting so much in each day. We would say that you are learning to trust, to pace yourself, and the opportunities will come and you will sometimes have a hard time saying ‘I have enough on my plate for today’ and you will put more on. It is fine. We will still channel with you. And to your question -are you too tired to channel? No indeed, my dear. If you were, you would know. So are there other questions from any of you, my darlings? [grin- Mother is very loving]
Rob: I do.
Yes. Rob.
Rob: So you mentioned pacing yourself and I understand that from the perspective of a physical vessel and having the energy to proceed. But I’m considering that in relation to the whole idea that love is boundless. And if that’s true, and I have no doubt that it is true, then is there such a thing as having to overly constrain ourselves.
Mother: The idea of pacing is tobe in a state of comfort, in a state of ease. If you find you are not comfortable, take the time to make yourself so. It is not that you must constrain yourself and only entertain two things a day- the rule that Jennifer has had for a while and so when she has three she becomes a little bit anxious that she has overdone it. Well, it is not about that. It is about, in each living moment, loving yourself enough to maintain your state of peace, maintain your state of self-nurturing, so that it is flowing into you through your own choice – not some other magic – through your own choice.
Allow the love to pour into you and through you and then it can reemerge, and it does so so naturally, you do not have to monitor this. The main thing is to choose, to choose to pace yourself in ease and at a comfortable pace that feels self-nurturing, because you will naturally nurture others, even more so, if you nurture yourself.
Rob: I see. Thank you.”
So, dear Friends of A Lighthouse for the Soul: Pace yourselves in comfort and ease, and let the JOY begin!
