Pace yourself with ease…

by Jennifer, posted in Channeling, Lighthouse, spiritual guidance

Dear Friends,

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 to be 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!

Grandest & Most Precious

…the grandest, most precious part of my life is my Soul …

Sue Scofield

     Today is the day – Day #1 of my stepping forward in a much more public way spiritually.  It’s a kind of “coming out of the Spiritual closet”, if you will.  I haven’t been hiding as such, I’ve simply been too comfortable being a wallflower.  I’ve never been one who wanted to be the center of attention.  Heck, despite the fact that I have a decent singing voice, I always thought it would be fun to be a background singer, never the main act!  You know, showing a talent without having to deal with being under a microscope.  You get the picture. 

But, part of being an authentic, ascended Gaian means living your truth, and a part of my truth is that I’m a certified Council of Love Teacher and Coach, as are my colleagues, Soul Family members,  and fellow Lighthouse Of The Soul creators/contributors, Jen, Rob, Adrienne and Paul.  And, the grandest, most precious part of my life is my Soul and my spirituality.

Soooo, having said all of this, I shall endeavor to keep pushing myself closer to center stage, sharing Random Spiritual Thoughts.  Who knows, maybe you’ll enjoy the “concert”!  Stay tuned for show dates…  High vibes to you all, Sue

Editor’s Note: SUE is the Host of our monthly Spirit Cafe, an hour-long conversation on all things spiritual. Free & open to all. NEXT ON~ SATURDAY DEC. 9th at 11 am EST https://us02web.zoom.us/j/81970023054 Join us! For more information:

Mother Earth’s Embrace

by Jennifer, posted in Channeling, Lighthouse, spiritual guidance

Jennifer Donaldson, channeling Mother Earth, Nov. 27th, 2023

“I do hold the physical reality for you, with all of my love and with all of my beauty and with all of my passion.”

Mother Earth: I Am Your Mother. I am your mother, Gaia.  I am most deeply involved with each one of you through your cells, through your water, through your minerals, in your bones, through your particles of breath. I am deeply, deeply heavily, warmly, sweetly grateful to each one of you for opening to allowing us to speak with you, speaking words of hope, of encouragement, of coaching words where we see your strengths that you may not see and we wish you to know of these strengths.

And we wish you to see, to hear that ‘Yes, you can. Yes you can.’ And we will help you and we are right with you. We are holding your hands. We are holding your shoulders, we are kissing your brow. We are embracing you from head to toe. My darling ones do not be afraid of anything. Anything that you wish for, speak of it. 

Like my dear dear beloved child Buddha said to you, ‘Just ask. Do you want something? Just ask. Tell us you want it and we will help you.’ And this is true for everything. Whether you want to have a pain release and cease to bother you, or you wish to have something new come into your life that you have not allowed yourself before. Whether you wish to have a smooth and easy day, or you wish to have all kinds of ease and abundance in your provisioning for yourself. 

Whatever it is, My Beloved Ones, we are with you. I am with you and I am not merely the material part of you. I am also imbuing you, throughout your lifetime, with the loving maternal receptive Self.  I am the Yin and I do also give generously. So you see, while you tend to think in duality, that one must be one and one must be the other. We have come into perfect balance with this. So we are very, very good at receiving. And we can help you with this. Because you have much knocking on your door that you have not yet allowed yourself to enjoy.  And of course we are the givers, so do not ever think that you do not have enough to give.  Whenever you want to give anything, follow that impulse – religiously, we might say, because you will always find joy in this energy pouring forth.  The filling up  and the pouring forth. 

Do not be afraid, my dear, of the momentum being interrupted by your brief journey in the skies and on the land on the other side of your landmass you call America. You will be fine. This great swelling of energy that you are feeling and this great creative passion you are feeling will continue for quite a long time. So, there’s plenty of room for some tangential pause, or a ribbon of energy looping out to the side and becoming reconnected in a few short days. So you see, I can answer your questions before they are asked. I can feel your energy and I know your heart. I love each and every one of you so deeply. 

I will remain for a bit more time if there is a question that either of you, Roxanne or Rob, would like to bring at this time. 

Rob: I was just thinking without getting into any specific events. Is there some, is there something we should be holding within us to assist you and the rest of the planet and humanity for the upcoming Solstice?

Mother Earth:  Complete trust. Complete and utter trust, that all is unfolding, developing, coming forth, lifting apart like the lotus opening to God, to the sun, to the light, to the beauty of its own being. For all of you, this flowering is upon us and it is completely most helpful, if you will know beyond a sliver of doubt, beyond any shadows of fear, just trust and not in something outside of you, but in the love that you are, in the beauty that you are, in the creation passion that you are, because the stronger your trust the stronger your creation, our creation. All hands on deck. All of us together. 

Rob: Thank you. 

Mother: Yes, 

Roxanne: A beautiful answer. Thank you for that.  There are a few themes within your conversation about deep desires and fear. And I wonder if there’s any that you can help Jennifer with if there’s anything deeply within her that she desires that she’s not allowing to come forward because of fear and if you can help her with that. 

Mother: Yes. There is a fear of change and a deep desire for stability and this causes a certain energy of clinging which is not necessary. Change will come about in its own natural way and one does not have complete control over these things. So do not try. Changes happen and all is well. 

And stability, my Dear Ones, is to be found in your own heart. Stability is in your heart. Do not fear passion. Because it is only the active phase of your own love, but stability is innate within you, within your being, when you are in the balance of Mother/Father/One -all the many ways you could describe your own being- in perfect balance with All That Is.  And this is why dance is so important because you are practicing the physical balance of your human body, on my body.  You have such freedom to move about on the physical plane, and I do hold the physical reality for you, with all of my love and with all of my beauty and with all of my passion. 

Roxanne: It’s beautiful. And in that there is stability because you are holding our tri-flames. You are holding and enveloping us in a way, are you not? I mean that would be stability in itself as we’re in form. 

Mother: Indeed. I mirror to you your Selves and collectively you all mirror to me your Selves. 

Roxanne: Thank you so much. 

Mother: I am deeply moved to have this opportunity to speak with you. Thank you.

Roxanne: I’m joining in that being moved.

Mother:  I am here always 

Roxanne: And in all ways.

Mother: Indeed. Sleep well. 

Archangel Uriel says it’s so simple: Be Your Self

by Jennifer, posted in Uncategorized

Here’s what came up recently in a channeling session with my friends. Uncle Uriel is just the biggest help! Hope his messages helps you too, especially when we are carrying feelings around that aren’t comfortable. onward and upward, love, Jennifer

10/30/23 Jennifer: Archangel Uriel

Jen: I told them to pick and decide for themselves and they told me I had to pick and I just, kind of, this surge came up within me of wanting to talk to Archangel Uriel and so then I asked him if he was here and he said he will. He is.

Archangel Uriel:  My dear ones, I am most delighted to be present with you at this time. You are also very dear to us, to me, we enjoy so much witnessing your play, your interplay, your interconnectedness and the ways in which you grow from and strengthen each other. We are here to support you while you’re channeling but of course at all other moments as well. And you know that we are always a thought away, a snap of your fingers away. It is not hard to reach for help. 

It is not hard to remember that we are here. What is hard sometimes is to forgive yourself for your very human experiences. Especially when your fear is triggered. You tend to- being a love holder- you tend to blame yourself for somehow letting down the side. Failing to uphold the level of love to which you would like to think that you were able to measure yourself to be, and yet, that is all for you to come to realize —is only what is real, is What Is.  What is happening is What Is. What you’re feeling is What Is. What you’re perceiving and understanding is What Is, and never is What Is in the wrong place for you. Never is What Is in any way less than where you need to be for your next best learning, for your next best release, for your next moment of awareness, for your next dose of loving energy toward yourself. 

This will be- and continue to be- a challenge at times. When you experience what you consider to be the less valuable emotions, you will think that somehow you yourself have failed. Look at in the face, my Dear. Welcome, welcome failure. It happens. There are times the wind fails in the sails- is that not true, Rob? There are times when one has hoped for a day and the day does not meet one’s hopes. There are times when one would love to be more than one feels one can be at that time. So this is why we tell you to Love What Is. Love yourself as what is, who is, you are. That is the I AM.  You do not need to be more than that. Who would want to be more than I AM?  And you will never be less than that.  

So feel your disappointment if that’s what you feel. Feel your frustration when that arises. Feel your shame if that is the feeling that floods you. Allow your feelings to be healthy and whole. Let them be truly you. It is fine. You are not acting childishly. Children are more whole, really, than adults. So as your therapist, I tell you.

Jen: Thank you Uriel. (Laugh) We count on that.

 

AAU: Really, What Is is the I Am. So be your Self. And when an emotion arises say “Oh, there’s that feeling again. How interesting is that? I guess that part of me would like a hug. I guess that part of me needed a little light, a little airing.” Hang it out on the line, clap your hands and do a little dance. “There’s that part of me again. I didn’t really like that little part but there it is again and I I think it’s coming up so that I can celebrate it.” Instead of hiding it, my Dear. 

So you see your strength is growing your awareness is growing. You’re always growing, you’re always learning. You’re always becoming more of what you are. Moment by moment, feeling by feeling, awareness by awareness. It’s so simple. The sum total of human wisdom: Be Your Self. Be the I Am. I Am. I Am. Let’s be I Am together. I’m always with you and I always love you. It feels best to pause at this point, unless there is a desperate question.

Rob: I do have a question. I don’t know that it’s desperate. When we’re feeling any emotion that we would rather not be feeling. Do you have a suggestion about how to turn that around? 

AAU: Well, the easiest way for it to pass through you is for you to acknowledge it, with affection, with friendliness, with welcome and then it will be ready to release to you whatever learning it has for you. And it will fade very quickly. If you do not let it in, that’s when it hammers at the door. And if you are not happy with it, it will pester you, it will pester you until you love it.  So this is a very mature skill you are coming to, when you can welcome the feelings that are least desired and most uncomfortable, and say to them, “Here you are. I see you. Thank you for coming to me today and showing me something. It’s not very comfortable. But I do love you and I do honor you and I recognize you as me.” You see, you are role playing with yourself and in the acceptance of the gift, the learning, the awareness, the lack of rejection, that is a huge step forward. Then this feeling will very easily move through you and begone, move on. Yes. Is this helpful? 

Rob:  Very much. Thank you. 

AAU: You are most welcome. We love you so much. Farewell for now.

The Spiritual Perspective ll

by Jennifer, posted in Spirit Cafe, spiritual guidance, Uncategorized

I want to write a little more about the spiritual perspective, the topic of Spirit Cafe for today — what does that mean for me and those I know well who apply that lens?

It means that whatever happens, whatever thoughts fill your mind, whatever beliefs you hold, you can ask the question: What is true, or what is truth- in this moment?

I always feel things starting to shift then, into a wider perspective, and that leads to an easing of the emotion, or confusion or rigid corner i sense that I have backed into. The spiritual perspective is like a breath of fresh air: spacious, serene, life-giving. It moves me out of upset into calm waters. I can move forward.

Maybe you’ve had a heated exchange, a strong difference of opinion with someone you love, and you feel hurt and fear you have also hurt them. I settle into my feelings, which at first feel too hot and turbulent, then slowly gradually, applying the question, “What does my spirit have to offer in this moment?” Or if I’m not ready for that, then just: “Isn’t this interesting? I’m feeling upset. I wonder what is really going on?”

The spiritual perspective is based in harmony, based in spirit- which is the energy of love, connectedness and light (truth). Therefore, reaching for the perspective in our troubled moments, or just when we are puzzled and unsure of ourselves, leads to forward movement- we can get on with our lives, speak the words of peace and reconciliation which restore our connection with each other –and, vitally, with our selves, our spirits, our souls. I see spirit and soul a little differently, but that’s another topic for another day. For today, I just want to invite you to join our team of soul friends, all fascinated with spiritual stuff, for our first open, free and public conversation: Spirit Cafe! Today at 11 am Eastern Time EDT. Here’s the link:
