Jennifer: All right, let me feel into this. Who to talk to? I think Yeshua gets emotion because we did a lot of work on emotions and I cried my way through a lot of my sessions with him, just releasing a lot of fears and self judgment, so I’m going to ask Yeshua to talk to me about this,
Does emotion have a role in that quote, and as a bridge between the physical and the spiritual, where does emotion sit, and how does it work, and how do you find emotional balance, as we were also talking about balance and teaching about balance? I’m getting an image of a piece of cake. If thoughts are the cake, then emotions are the frosting. (laugh) Thanks for that, Yeshua.
I’m having trouble. I want to answer my own question…I’m finding it a little bit of a slippery slope here …sorry to be slow…
Yeshua: Indeed, this connection is not something you can push or force, it is something that deepens, it goes deep, and if you have been all wound up in your mind, coming up with wonderful wordings for what you’re feeling and thinking, it’s a little more difficult to release that and settle into allowing us a little bit of a toehold within the heart space. We are patient, we do not mind. It is not something you manufacture, this collaboration that we have. And, for you, it is such a felt experience that you cannot imagine not valuing feelings or even valuing them much more greatly than thoughts or the mental body.
The mental body has been active in a great many lifetimes, but you have truly come to value the emotional body for the great pleasures that it brings you, the great values that it brings you, because even the storms, the emotional storms are always complete with a greater understanding, a greater awareness, an important adjustment of the various aspects of the situation. If you have a terrible disagreement with someone that you love, you will be greatly distressed by this, many people avoid this sort of thing, but they do come up.
The very best outcome is to recognize that disturbances are like storms, and they do blow out to sea, and they are followed by a period of calm and reflection, in which you may realize that you have been holding on to a false idea of someone else, or holding on to a value that is no longer helpful to you, or holding on to prejudice, holding on to control, holding on to judgment., or some aspect that is holding you back from the awareness, which feels, when it comes, exquisite, just as when the clouds part and the sun comes out, and that little patch of damp grass you are sitting on, watered with your tears, suddenly lights up.
There is great beauty there in that awareness, and there is great comfort there, and there is great treasure there. This is why your rainbows have the image of a treasure buried, because after the storm comes the rainbow, and at the foot of the rainbow is the treasure.
So the value of emotion within the context of your question is the movement from one to another. It is the wings; it is the swimmer’s arms and legs; it is the motion. This is why it is referred to as emotion. It is the transition from one to another, and also the the permeating and soaking mechanism, which allows you to fully extract from any situation, or any position you are in, the value of that moment.
You were thinking earlier that it [emotion] was the glue which glues these different elements together, but that has a rigidity to it, so it is actually more valuable for you to think of it as water, or as mobility, as movement, transition, flight, just as the bird is clutching the branch and connected to earth in that way, it also can easily fly into air, the element of air, and warm its wings in the sun, stretched out, feel the wind soar and glide, ride. Emotions have the ability to be dense and thick and muddy and hot and fiery, and they also have the ability to be light and sparkly and blissful to the extent that they help you to transcend, to move from one to another.
You understand the emotions being somewhat like an elevator, but think of it also as transitioning through all of the elements, even the dimensions, from the most sublime to the most -not so much harsh as- simple and of one experience, which is very gripping in some way, [e.g.] the dryness of the desert, the suction of the swamp. It is a very visceral and very single-minded, single-feeling experience, and it is rather extreme.
In between the extremes of sublime to intense, you will find the motion from one state to another to bring you many feeling states from simple pleasure, or a moment of tenderness, a moment of warmth and solidarity, a delight in something beautiful, an awe of something freshly perceived and rare. You see, all of your feelings can be experienced, treasured, but they are, they are moving quickly. You will miss it if you do not value, pause, pause and stay with the emotion, as long as it is alive within you.
So yes, it is an aspect of spirit,. Yes, it has an aspect of earth. It has an aspect of mind in that it is, it works very closely with mind, it brings awareness, it brings knowing. These are more the feeling aspects of thinking. It is not so much mechanical as it is alive. It is very much an aspect of spirit, but you are experiencing it through the physical body, because this is where you are now, and most blessedly so.
We will pause and resume this another time, if you have the interest. Thank you all. Much love to you all.
Jennifer: Thank you, Yeshua for this helpful chat. Thank you so much.

Jennifer Channeling Lao Tzu, June 19th, 2026
Jennifer:
So, okay, I’m really intrigued with the application of Balance in everyday life, and I think I understand it, and I love it, and I use it, and sometimes stuff gets out of balance, but then I get back into balance.
So, what about a situation where you have a tendency to just plain carry too much, try to balance too much, try to juggle too much… Am I jumping ahead and trying to be multidimensional when in fact I’m just struggling and fearful of dropping? I’ve got all these eggs in there (let’s try another metaphor) and I’m afraid of dropping any of them! It’s really hard to even set them down. They all seem really important to me. I’m trying to keep them all in balance, but it’s honestly too much. It would be really good if I just went back to one, sometime, and I don’t know how to, how to do that. So there’s where I’m seeking some guidance from Master Lao Tzu, if you would like to channel with me?
…I’m getting an image of two chopsticks crossing a river… [thanks to AI for the digital image].
Master Lao Tzu
Lao Tzu: Greetings, this is Lao Tzu. I am pleased to be invited into your presence on this day. This is not completely unfamiliar to you, Jennifer, although you think it is. It is just that you have been for many years glued to your impression that the Masters of the West were the ones you were closest to. In the story of your many lives, there has been a balance between East and West, between North and South, between this world and other worlds.
You are well acquainted with the concept of balance. It always intrigued you as a child. You were interested in ballet which is greatly dependent on balance, and other forms of activity. This is the human challenge when in the body and you are, while a multi-dimensional being, definitely committed to your physical experience and expression at this time, for many reasons.
One of those is to to master balance in the physical, and part of that is what you are forgetting: emotional balance, mental balance, physical balance, of course, which is the literal level, and spiritual balance. You are, you are attempting to bring into your daily life an ascended perspective, which you are not practiced in, and you are also trying to control it.
So, what is happening is… you, ultimately, are balancing a multitude of things in any instant, and a part of you knows this, and you are seeking to align with that part of you, but the human part is going, “Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, that’s not going to work,” and you do not wish to embarrass yourself by falling flat on your face. Or -and this is another one of your terrors- letting anyone else down.
What you are sensing is the natural flow of things at a higher speed, and you are applying this seeing into a space where there is still a great deal of resistance, because all of the practical wisdom you’ve received in your life [says] that you have a tendency to do “too much”, you have a tendency to try to accomplish more than is comfortable, you have some beliefs around this, you have some experience around this, and certainly some wisdom. And so it continues to surface for you, to recur and to confront you.
What are you going to believe now, if you are interested in a path of ease, a path of balance? Because, being in a state of balance is most comfortable, truly. Then you will want to feel into each choice, into each day, and to also feel into the love that you have for yourself, which you would extend to another who lost their balance temporarily or many times in a day.
Would you be loving and understanding, or would you be critical and harsh? Think how you would practice this on yourself, would you be loving and understanding, or would you be harsh and critical? Which is the higher vibration? This is always your choice. You will realize there are times when you are playing in a lower vibration again. Would this be an opportunity to beat yourself? You see, it is clear.
This is just “what is,” this is just the momentary experience. This is just the contrast, because you do live in a physical world, and there is much contrast present to guide you, to show you the way forward.
You can always – and you have already begun to do this – you can always ask for greater ease, ask for greater comfort, ask for greater calm, whenever you notice that you’re in some discomfort, or you’re in some “choppy waters”, as you like to say,.
So this is Balance: to see yourself as a living being making choice, moment by moment, for the most graceful path forward.
And you are capable of this. You are each of you capable of this. You, Jennifer, are just apt to run along ahead and try to do it before anyone else, or to fuss about it if you deem yourself incapable yet.
Be kind to yourself, see yourself as that little child who wants the validation or… who wants the experience of being able to test your abilities and succeed. Realize that this can be done privately to great effect, though, of course, your brothers and sisters will often give you feedback, and that is especially true for your biological brothers and sisters! [LOL] Yes, they will often give you feedback for when you are out of balance. This is most useful.
All of this learning is most helpful. So proceed, proceed, be kind to yourself, be gentle, ask for the gentleness, ask for the reminder of how to balance in your kindness, how to carry kindness. Replace all of those sticks of sugar cane [the burden on the little burro] with gentle elements, lightweight elements. And when you notice things are a little harsh or a little difficult – you will notice – then shed a few of those, save them for later.
We’ve been most pleased to have these moments with you, and most grateful for your willingness to continue to grow. We will be watching and encouraging from our space of greater grace. With much love, I say farewell.
Jennifer: Thank you, Uncle Lao Lao (grin).
Channeled by Jennifer Joy Donaldson, June 18, 2026, in Maine, USA.
Mother, Mary is playing with me. She’s showing me that, last but not least, she’s this little mouse that would like to speak.
Mother Mary:
Greetings, my Daughters, I am so pleased to sit together in this circle on this day in your lives as human women, each in your own beautiful, unique way, your own way to express your perspective, your values, your joys and your sorrows.
Each of you are a treasure to me, precious in my sight. Having lived among you long, long ago, I do remember the enjoyment of laughter and community, the sweetness of companionship, the comfort of coming together, wherever you are in your emotional state at any time, having a joyful day or having a difficult one, feeling peaceful or feeling grief, wherever you are. Wherever we are, know that we are available to one another.
Still, I am represented with a blue robe as a young woman, a pretty one, usually, yes, often blonde, which surprises me, but you see, it is your tradition of artistry that admired the lighter hair, and so I came to be represented as the lighter-haired woman in my time. I truly was a dark haired, a brown haired woman with red highlights. Yes, I had some highlights. And in the sun, of course, even brown hair sparkles with light, with the gold.
I am seen with the gold around my head, but my daughters, I want you to know, you too carry that gold. You sometimes cover it up with your hoodies, or you cover it for many, many years, but essentially it is a representation, a symbol of your connectedness to your Divine nature. Do not be afraid to be who you truly are. Be your entire physical self, and be your entire spiritual self, to the degree that you have discovered so far. Enjoy both. They blend together beautifully, and this is the new human, yes, and you may tell your brothers sisters, this is the new human.
You are a blend of the physical and the spiritual. And the spiritual is so much more fun than you thought. You, I think many of you, felt that you would have to squeeze yourself into a package that would be unbearably restrained for you to allow yourself to become a full spiritual expression in the physical world. Not so. Take all the space you want, let your light dim and grow. You have a dimmer switch. Go up and down. Be a night light, be a flashlight, be a great big lighthouse beacon, as you please, as the joy fills you.
Now I will take questions, because I know that you do enjoy so much that kind of interaction, and so do I. Would anyone have a question at this point? I can speak for all three of us— I would say— all three levels [Mother Mary, Mother Earth & Divine Mother].
I have answered all your questions already. I wonder how I knew? Oh, we do respect your privacy, but because you have an energetic field, your thoughts are not contained within the skull. Your thoughts are actually floating around here outside of your body. You sense them here [in the head]. You think they are contained here, and there is a wonderful mechanism there for thinking, but they’re actually floating around here [out from the body].
And since we have this Bubble Universe where we touch one another, we can see and know that you have wonderings and you have hesitations and you have worries.
Let me say that, in addition to hoping that the bath of white light the Divine Mother gave you will ease your physical, and spiritual, sense of tiredness, or depletion, from your long winter. We would also say that we are activating your energies to step forward in the excitement of who you are, to have a fulfilling life from this moment on, whether we never spoke again or not. We may, we may well speak again, but if not, know that we have, by choosing to be together with energies of our – may I say, modestly – magnitude, because that is what happens with energy. It grows in love. And yours [energies] are not tiny. Do not for a moment think of yourselves as the mouse, the inconsequential human, one among billions. Each of you are amazing.
Question #1:
So may I ask you, Mother Mary, why did you refer to yourself as a mouse, then, if you don’t want us to think of ourselves [as mice].
Mother Mary:
I was playing with you. I do embrace the mouse, as I embrace the lion, as I embrace the eagle, as I embrace the mountain and the ocean. Do you see? All expressions of life are precious to me. You are small in size relative to Mother Earth, however, you are not inconsequential. You are powerful.
This is difficult for many to accept the idea that you are powerful. You are powerful in a benevolent way, and you are powerful to create the kind of world that you want. So, if what you see outside of you is not what you want, we invite you to begin to envision and move toward and communicate, share -whether you are an artist or you are a writer or you are just a cousin speaking to another cousin, you see?
Begin to speak of your vision of what we are moving toward, which is the planetary home in a higher vibration for humanity and all beings in physicality who wish to be here. And there are many who do. An extinction, for example, will be where a particular set of beings has decided that they want to go a little more quickly, and they have already moved into a higher vibration.
You are now beginning that journey yourselves, and some of you are already playing a little bit in the fourth and fifth dimensions, sometimes you zoom up to the seventh. When you feel a great rush of joy and love, you are in the seventh dimension. It may not last for more than 20 minutes or an hour or two, but that is where you are. You see and you are capable, actually, of traversing all of the dimensions through the 12th.
Question #2:
Mother Mary. I’m just curious about how lately I’ve been feeling slightly dizzy, and I’m just curious if that’s a health related issue, or if it has to do with Ascension.
Mother Mary:
Yes, if it is uncomfortable to you and becomes severe, then look into it on the physical level. There may be something involved. There may not. It may just put your mind at ease.
What I would say, though, is that it is also very likely that it is happening because of the rapidity of the ascension process on the planet. At this time, there are many who are ascending in vibration from the third to the fourth, from the fourth to the fifth, and you have been walking this pathway for nearly 20 years, yourself, Kate, but lately, just lately, it is speeding up.
It is speeding up quite significantly. And there are some who are running up the stairs quickly to catch up. And there are others who are saying, “Finally, finally! Let’s go!” And there are others who are completely aware of this, but on the level of their dreams, on the level of their sleep time and their time with the spiritual teachers.
During dream time, you get lots of free play, lots of recess, I would say, so do not feel you are working too hard, but you have opportunities during your dream time, of course, to help the planet in different ways and to continue to learn.
We are seeing the expression of great infusions of light coming to the planet through the solar flares, solar ejections of energy. We would not limit God to the sun, but there was a reason why people looked up to the sun and began to see the solar deity, because it is a source of life, and all of life on your planet is dependent upon the light of the sun. But behind that sun there are layers and layers and layers of Beingness and and light, levels of light.
So there’s a reason why you are affected by the increase in light on your planet and in your part of the world, you are being very gently shielded at this time through the additional cloud cover and the additional rain. This is news to Jennifer as well. Her ears are flapping. [LOL] (Note: It was a very cloudy Spring.)
It is a intentional calibration effect. Because the population is rather large along the east coast, the area is being protected and gently, more gently moved into a higher frequency at this time. This will not last all summer, yes? But it is current for now, and rather than be downcast by it, which is natural, and some of you are very sensitive to weather and to the amount of solar light that you are receiving. There are ways to compensate for yourself, but just know that there is greater light and it is penetrating the clouds. But there is a cloud cover to assist in the gentle absorption of these which have the potential, if not gently received, to alarm people, agitate people, cause great discomfort. Is there anything else that you would like to ask before we conclude today?
Question #3:
I’m trying to think about how to phrase it. But how do we know the difference between when we should accept something as it is because it’s divine, or when our purpose may be to help change it?
Mother Mary:
Yes, there is great wisdom in this discernment. We would say, be guided by your heart. This is familiar to you. This is a true steering in the right direction. Be guided by your heart. Hold what is in your heart and ask, “Is there any part of this that I can assist with, to bring it to the highest possible expression of itself, to the most conscious vibration, to that which will be for the greater good of all?” That is an expression again, that you hear, that is intended to guide you into the direction which is most helpful, when you say, “for the greatest good of all”.
Yes, there are those things which will be changed, and much will still change, but it is not yours to do. So again, ask in your heart, “Is this mine? Is there something I can do? Is there something I can offer, in the person that I am, to assist with this?” and then just sit with it. If you do not receive an immediate validation for any idea of -Should I do this? Should I do that?- if you do not receive an immediate validation for a particular inspiration to do this or that, just know it’ll come to you while you’re sleeping. And you’ll feel clearer in the next morning.
Or you can also say, “I know I’ll get clearer in the next day or two or three, and I’ll just continue going, and it’ll come to me,” and it will come to you. Either it’ll drop down gently into your mind, and you’ll go, “Uh huh, yeah, I was kind of getting that. I should do that, because that’ll feel like I’m participating in moving our world forward.”
This [guidance] will come that way, or it will come in the form of something in the mail, a communication from a friend, something. But always proceed in the direction that feels best. Your feelings and your sense of what will be more constructive, helpful, loving, joyful or fun- this Is your guidance system. All right?
If you really just want to go to the bowling alley and have an ice cream cone, do that, you do not need to suffer to bring forward a higher vibration. And in fact, that is not very helpful.
We do see your heart. We see your desire to bring forward a higher vibration. But if it causes you suffering… we are not blessed with your suffering. You see ? So it does not do the greater good.
So choose that which is easy for you, which is what you are willing to do. Not always deliriously silly or fun, but there is something you are willing to do that you can do, and if you will offer your energies in this way, whatever calls to you, then you will be assisting, and we are grateful.
Anything else?
Question #4:
Is there a connection [between] the chakra system and the dimensions?
Mother Mary:
Ah, yes, there is. Very astute of you. However you are working with a seven chakra system for the most part, and this is why it has been expanded to a 12 chakra system, even 13 if you visualize the space just above your head. It has been expanded because these do align directly with the dimensions and to the degree that they are clear and rotating- either way, rotating happily, spinning gently.
Some people more naturally do this, [rotate one way] and some do this [the other way]. Yes, sometimes it is masculine or feminine. Sometimes it is just what they are going through. There’s a building up, or, there’s a gentle releasing, releasing or bringing in. Each one is healthy, not blocked, and each one is open and willing to be activated.
You can use them as a portal to any dimension you desire to explore. We would invite you to do a meditation for each of your chakras and just ask us, “Is there another one in here [that] I didn’t know about?” You don’t have to know anything about it. Say, “If there’s another one, let’s go explore that.” You do not have to know a system. Not everyone does know an expanded system. But just know that there are 12 with a 13th above your head.
It is a crown of sorts, and very close to us, the humans are operating in those 12 dimensions. There are, however many, many more [dimensions]. Jeshua has told this one, Jennifer, and also Kate, that he is most often in the 27th dimension, and from that frequency, he is able to tune into, listen, to be aware of and assist in a vibrational, energetic way, even with words, certainly with presence, a sense of presence, certainly with an awareness of all of you in the 12 dimensions, but all of the rest of life in the other dimensions.
This, this knowledge about dimensions is quite interesting, and we invite you to learn more about that if you are drawn to it. Is this helpful to you? We are sensing that it is perhaps time to wrap up.
Kate: Yes.
Mother Mary: Thank you very much, Kate [for time-keeping].
We appreciate this time together, this life together, these moments of life, together, sharing breath, sharing awareness, sharing consciousness, sharing our hearts, sharing love, sharing respect.
It is quite wondrous for us. We are deeply grateful.
Be well, grow well, dance and sing.
Farewell for now.
Kate:
Oh, my God, that was pretty amazing. Jenny, I don’t think I’ve ever seen you bring three energies in at once. I mean, not at once. It was successfully. But you know, during one [session]. I don’t think I’ve ever seen them do that.
Jennifer:
But when you think how they’re nested, right? It’s a progression. It’s a natural progression. Yeah?
Kate: But still, that was amazing. Thank you.
Jennifer:
Yeah. Thank you. It continues to amaze, truly continues to amaze me. There’s nothing I love more.

I would be my great joy to hold a personal channeling session for you, just reach out. Love, Jen
Note: One Sunday I gathered with several others locally who love channeled messages, and stepped into a miraculous Happening! Three aspect of The Great Mother were eager to speak to us: Divine Mother, Mother Earth and Mother Mary.
Part 1 (below) is Divine Mother’s part, giving us the big picture. I see Her as the counterpart to God The Father (my theology is still evolving, but balance has always felt important. I see now that churches also are beginning to add “Our Father & Mother” to the very ancient traditional Lord’s Prayer… wonders never cease!)
This session was several weeks ago, when Spring here in the north was just waking up. Now we can fully embrace the season and begin to play! Wild as the ride is right now, one of the ways that helps me is connecting to the higher energies, in whatever form they take, inter-personal, energetic infusions, mirth, sweetness, color, awe…. Take your pick and enjoy Life, please. The world needs your heart. Love, Jen
PART 1 of 3:
Jennifer:
Mama, we come to you today at the end of a long Maine winter and I know that you recognize that we could use your replenishing and your restorative energy boost. So we would appreciate any advice or encouragement about how to, how to proceed into the Spring with a spring in our step & more light in our hearts. Thank you.
Divine Mother:
Divinely human ones, I am grateful for this moment, this rare and precious moment, to speak with you face to face, wonder to wonder, curiosity to curiosity. I do see your energies. I know you. I know your core. I know your souls. But it is wonderful to peer through human eyes and peek at your physical expressions. Each of you have chosen beautifully for this life to learn what you desire to learn, to serve in the way that you desire to serve, to be present, to play with your brothers and sisters, your children, your families and friends in the physical world.
This is a great blessing for you, and we know that you appreciate it. Each of you have a strong sense of the beautiful & the blessing of being together, and yet, on your journey to full awareness, or “Home,” as we call it.
On your journey Home, each of you must make your own choices. You do not come as a group. It must be an individual maturation of the heart and spirit. So allow yourself to be where you are on your journey, and know that there is an enormous Welcome to each of you.
Every time you get a glimpse of where it is that you are longing to be and where it is you’re beginning to feel you are approaching, we are here to guide, to encourage, to fill you up when you’re feeling low.
As I speak, imagine that you each have a funnel in the top of your head, and I am pouring through that funnel into your chakra system, into your energy fields, through your beautiful physical bodies, I am pouring additional light, additional dancing energy, for you to use in any way that serves you, serves your individual form, in any way that you need, for healing or for sustenance.
Yes, think of it as a pearlescent white light. Just close your eyes and feel it soaking into you, nestling into the spots where you need additional help. Infusing your blood with sparkling, colorful energies, which then travel to all of the different organs and physical spaces ~ the bones, tissues and your sensory organs ~ we bathe them and light them up as well. We orient you toward your own divinity, the light that you are intrinsically, we are just adding a little bit to you. Know that you are filling up, taking in just exactly the right amount for you.
[The light] infuses, as well, your whole energetic sphere, your whole spiritual bubble, the bubble that lives unseen by your natural eyes. It is your bubble, your spiritual sphere, that touches all of ours at all times. In your world, when you have bubbles that touch each other, the soap bubbles that you love to play with, they form a contiguous wall, a single wall between the two bubbles, or many.
In our case with the spiritual bubbles, they actually intersect and penetrate slightly the other so that there is a shared shape, which you know as the Vesica Pisces. It is that beautiful shape which the human eye echoes, in a sideways form. It is that beautiful shape where two circles overlay one another, and within that shape, there is the shared experience, and it is most gratefully enjoyed by all of us in the non- physical realms – you call them the higher realms, the heavenly realms.
It does not matter exactly where you picture us. Just know that we are intersecting bubbles of energy, some of us greater, some of us smaller – that does not matter. Each one is a beautiful, beautiful
sphere, glistening with color, glistening with light, in relation with all other living beings, all other living souls, and that includes the souls of the mountains and the souls of the trees, the spirits of water, the spirits of mushrooms, all of the beautiful animal souls, we are all spiritual spheres together. It is all one big, wondrous field of sphere.
Next time, Part 2 with Mother Earth!!
Channeled by Jennifer Joy Donaldson, April 2026, at Working Well, South Portland, Maine
Hi Everyone, we want to invite you to join us for Spirit Cafe, our free monthly discussion of spirituality!
This time the topic will be: Self, Selfishness and Service…
Much to mull over and share as we gather to elevate our everyday experience to the highest vibe we are each discovering, what our host Sue calls the 40,000 foot perspective!
We will discuss levels of the self/Self (earthly self & Higher Self) how they manifest in our moments, how attending to the self/Self may be perceived – even by us- as selfishness, and how to transmute that judgement.
Finally, we’ll share the basis and expression of service in our lives in relation to how we see and nurture our s/Selves. A quick glimpse of that may be: going inward with our focus to then connect and refill, so as to have the capacity to pour out… how does that work for you?
We learn so much from each other through these discussions and from all of you who join us as well. Our Cafes are a reunion of friends, a learning opportunity and our hearts’ service to each other and our s/Selves…
There’s more information and a link on our Spirit Cafe page.
PS Recently our Spirit Cafe offering received a beautiful new image on the Council of Love’s website calendar— pictured above— thank you Isaac!
In our practice group, recently, we all channeled our higher selves, or how we conceive our divine levels to be, to guide us on living the energies. We Trust this will be of interest to others as it is of value to us, and Surrender the need to control the outcomes and, yes, Allow the Great Blessings of the Universe to show up in our every days… Just like someone drowning fights their rescuer, so too, we make it harder on ourselves by our resistance – doubts, fears, exhaustion, stress…. Lighten up & brighten up, folks, a New Earth is Now. With Love & Compassion, Jennifer
Jen: All right, so taking the question: How am I Trusting, Surrendering and Allowing – in the sense of allowing myself to detach from my sense of accomplishment or my sense of goals, or [from] my sense of not trusting myself enough to choose my own path each day, for my own highest good. Instead, I question myself, and I doubt whether I am accomplishing enough, and I wonder if I’m proceeding without trying to control.
Am I proceeding in grace and in fulfillment of the higher purpose, in fulfillment of the divine plan? And the divine plan “for me”- as was channeled to Jo Ann [my teammate]? Not only the divine plan for Earth or for all of Life, but the divine plan for me, which is another way of saying my own sacred purpose. I think my tendency to want to accomplish gets in the way, or to feel that I must accomplish to be honoring my plan, when my plan might be just to relax and hang out for the day and play.
So, a check-in, please, with my higher self, my Whole Self, whatever name comes forward for that, it tends to vary. For some reason, I use Whole Self.
Whole Self: You may refer to us as Whole self. We are going to use the plural because we are Whole. You have enjoyed, in the past, exploring the identity of Whole Self, and have at times channeled an aspect of Whole Self. Felicity, one of your guides, is an aspect of Whole Self. Also you have played with various names for us, but we are you. You are the point person for the group; it is as though we had a committee, and we have put you into the role of Earth, Earth Explorer, Earth Experiencer.
Yes, you carry with you, genetically, a drive to accomplish, a drive to be useful, to be helpful, a drive to be on task as often as possible. Some of this is rooted in the core issue of “not enough”, or worry that you are not enough, not “blank”____ enough, in any particular situation. It is also inherited from those in your family who were heroes in your mind, or who, by their life’s work, engendered your admiration for them and your respect for them. And you hope that when you have finished your earthly path, you will have some admiration, some respect for yourself.
We would like to invite you to move this forward and to express to yourself gratitude for who you are now, what you have grown into, what you are growing- continuing to grow- into, which is the greatest expression of Whole Self that you can be within the physical realm, within the human body and within your life experiences every day.
Now. We are not driven nor trying to excel, nor trying to perform, accomplish or become anything at any rate that is going to cause you discomfort. So use that as your benchmark, your guide post, your signal that you are straying from merely – interesting word, “merely,” there’s some judgment there – that you are straying from the simplicity of the intention to allow your Whole Self – Us – the greatest amount of property within your world.
For you, Trust is strong, but you could elaborate. You could do a mini-seminar for yourself on how trust expresses for you every day. Are you trusting yourself to guide, choose, step forward, rest when you need to? Are you trusting yourself to surrender? Are you trusting yourself to allow? You see? Are you surrendering into the trust? Are you surrendering into allowing the flow of life to be itself? Are you allowing yourself to live a life of trust and surrender?
Each of you is born new each morning that you awaken, each of you is a brand new human being, incarnated with the greatest possible amount of your higher self each day. But we will never push you. We will never shove, we will never say, “fit Me in”.
It is only possible for you to live the greatest amount of your whole self, of your divine entire self, the greatest possible amount, in the physical, if you do relax, if you do release control, if you do know, deep in your heart, that trust is an intrinsic part of you —and you can align with it. This will line up your flow with us in forming your expression of life, divinity within divinity.
You are all divine, each one of you and you can allow more of yourselves to be present every day- but only through trusting, surrendering and allowing that flow of life.
Remember that —without the despotic, royal “We”— we are plural, if it helps you to expand your sense of identity into: How can we live this day together? How can we walk this way together? How can we bring forward the flow of Divine Love, Divine Light, Divine Life together.
Allow your sense of you to become us, and this will assist you in relaxing into the greatest expression of All That Is within your own individual point of light —and we know this is your plan, because you chose it, and we are with you, 100% .
if you are uncomfortable, you are pushing, or you are near tears or trying too hard or exasperated or impatient, know that this is coming from the human level. When you are in joy, when you are in laughter, when you are just peacefully pursuing whatever you are doing, whatever you are not doing, know that this is coming from all of us in concert together.
We leave you, all three of you in this group today, with our blessings and our gratitude for this opportunity, which is so valuable for us, to speak as one together.
Note: In our channeling group there was a lot of moaning about the “energies,” so we took it higher up… Mother never disappoints and things have been smoother since. 🙂 <3
Jen to Mother Mary: Please explain to me why things have been so chaotic lately, to where I’ve had trouble keeping my balance.
Mother Mary: Greetings to this group. This is Mary, the Mother Mary. I’m delighted to come to speak with you through this one. I am with you. Of course, I am with each of you. I am closer than you know, being part of Divine Mother and her energies imbuing you through the physical representation of the aspect of me that is Mother Earth.
This has been a most challenging time, has it not? Yes, just as the events in your world are chaotic, in terms of what you see on headlines and in the news, so too are the energies on your world chaotic. It is attributable to solar flares, to some degree, it is also attributable to the unsettled and unpeaceful energies of all of humanity and you [Jennifer] being empathic, are noticing the agitation, noticing the difficulty people are having in elevating themselves and in maintaining a positive viewpoint.
It is also attributable to the fact that you are where you are in your cycle of the year. You are aware of this. It is wise to allow extra space in your daily life at this time to not over-schedule yourself. It will seem compelling to fit in one more thing, but it would be wiser for you if you had a period of activity for an hour or two, and then a period of inactivity for an hour or two. Or should we say, “Me” activity, the activity that you choose that is restorative to you, rather than the taking care of someone else or taking care of the goals that you have to be, well, let us just say goals. Goals themselves can be terribly draining.
You are ready to begin to allow us to move you through your days in alignment with the love that you yourself crave and wish to share. You are ready to allow us to fill the schedule rather than you attempting to remain on track, on task, in harness to your ideals—and we do not criticize your ideals. We understand perfectly, but we also do not want to witness you compelling yourself.
Allow the energies to serve you, and many of the so called prickles – another allusion would be: the knap being rubbed the wrong way- a lot of this disturbance, this friction, as you pass along through your day, will dissipate greatly, and you will find yourself moving in greater comfort.
In greater comfort, but this means being aware that you can’t be pushing, you can’t be trying, you can’t be working, and you cannot always meet another’s requests of you. So, you can find ways to decline gracefully. You can find ways to postpone. You can find ways to come up with a partial solution which is more honoring of yourself.
And we would offer this to all of you, that you begin to allow the greater flow, the flow of the Tao, of Divine Energy to be what moves you through your day, and a little less of the efforting.
To put it simply, try this. See how it feels. We think you will like it. Farewell for now and blessings to each of you.

We’re LIVE and UP for another hour of heart-centered conversation, where we take everyday issues and concerns and lift them into a higher perspective. Any topic is fair game, though we will often open with something that’s current. Lately the question of family contracts and soul contracts has come up… are they still valid, or have we moved into greater freedom to play it by ear, or even just to play? What do you think/sense/feel?
Join the Lighthouse team for a safe space to speak your heart. We get together at 11 am ET (New York) this Saturday, 18th of April and YOU are invited!! Just click this ZOOM LINK.
With Love, Sue, Jen, Rob, Adrienne, Martin, Roxanne and Paul
Note: Lord Maitreya advises me personallyin this message, and I thought it might be interesting to share with you as many of us have similar challenges. He has been very helpful in helping me to expand my practice locally, open an office, andmeet lots of wonderful new people who share my curiosity and passion for spiritual growth. Another common theme he touches on here is exhaustion, which builds up, and then we need to slow down, or even, turn off and reboot. It’s all about balance: action & repose, care & self-care, pouring out & refilling… Spring is slow in my part of the world, but the cycle is surely turning: the first local flowers areblooming…so, Happy Spring everyone! Love, Jen
Jen: I guess I have a lot of questions about the best use of my time here [at my office] and the best use of my time in focusing for the next couple weeks while my son comes to visit, and the best use of my ability to channel, to reach out to Mom and to levels of her in ways that might be helpful to her at this stage [my husband’s Mom is 101 years old]. She has more and more confusion and makes less sense. But I know that that’s [on] the physical level, the personality level, and that on a spiritual level, she’s as whole as as any of us are. And so I want to speak to that level.
So I don’t know whether Gabrielle, you’d like to speak through me now or Yeshua or Maitreya. I’m just gonna go: “Eeny meeny, miny moe” or let you present yourself.
Lord Maitreya: Yes, this is Maitreya. Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to be a spokesperson for all three of us at this moment. I have been close to you in these last few weeks as you have had some serious questioning about your role and your best use of focus and energy. This is a particularly sensitive time for you, as you do understand it, in a cycle of the depletions of winter, then coming into a more energetic space and not feeling necessarily filled-up or prepared or in the condition that you would like to be in to expand your work, your offering to the world.
Let me be clear, what your heart desires to offer to the world is exactly where you need to focus. Because whether it is ultimately judged to be of value to someone else is not your concern. And this is true, whether it be for your mother-in-law or whether it be for a large audience somewhere scattered throughout the WordPress world—as you like to look at that map and see the different countries represented by readers.
It is valuable for you to express from your heart that which is most dear to you, that which is welling up to be spoken, that which is helpful to you.
If it is helpful to you to channel, then channel. If you sense that others may be interested in channeling by all means, invite them. By all means, make this available to others. But it is not in any way meant to be an obligation or to be driven by the calendar. We know that you have had some doubts this month, particularly this month, especially, about the interest in your work, such that it be sustainable, to continue comfortably.
This is just this bump that you yourself are finding yourself in. Shall we call it a little bit of a combination of a rut and a bump ? It is like your muddy roads in the Spring, in your part of the world, where you either sink into the rut or you are trying to drive on the high point in the middle of the road, so that you do not fall into the rut.
It is a bumpy ride at this point, and you are very attuned to your seasons and to your brothers and sisters in your area, and to what they are feeling. Many feel the way you do— not a whole lot of energy left.
Remember the image of the multiple candles reaching in all directions, each one of them lit through the fire of your passion, your dedication and your acknowledgement of the pure pleasure and fun of channeling. You have been burning all of these candles, and you are now down to the interior of the little nest of wicks, and it is one glowing and puddling and pooling “hot mess,” as you say… (laughter!). We are delighted this brings a laugh to you, to your heart.
So. My encouragement to you would be to slow down, relax, enjoy each day, relieve yourself of any obligation whatsoever, reach for those things that give you the most sense of comfort and affection, support, alignment with those that you love. Certainly making time for your son is valuable to you.
So slow down, relax, let the next month be another month, another way of looking at what you would like to bring forth.
This idea about [a weekly channeling for] your mother-in law is very, very generous given how depleted you’re feeling, but we were also feeling the words sweet and kind. Your affection for your mother-in-law, in fact, your abiding love and commitment to her are precious to you. This would be an expression of this, but it would not serve you if it were a “should,” if it were an obligation, if it were a burden in any way.
We suggest that you use your meditation time in the morning. Ask for a message. Begin speaking with [Archangel] Gabrielle, enjoy your connection, and then ask her. Ask her to speak a few words that you can share with your mother-in-law, Mary. She is a Mary too, just in a different stage of life. [Marys were priestesses in Biblical times.] [note: I asked Mom recently about her belief in angels and who she felt close to, and she said Archangel Gabriel, who is the Queen of the Angels]
Use your Otter [app]. It will make it more simple for you to type it up. We suggest, as you are seeing, just a paragraph, which, when you translate to a large enough print for her to read, you can see will fill most of a page. So a short message for her on a weekly basis would be a beautiful gift, a most beautiful gift, but it should not, as I said, be a burden to you, merely an offering from your heart, and it will be received with great love.
You have often wondered about your connection to this one, and how you recognized her heart immediately in this life, and how valuable it was, and is, for you to spend this time in her later years, her last few years, together. There is a very strong heart connection, many different expressions of this in many different lives. You have often been connected through your spirituality, and these are the most precious of your connections.
Sometime, if you wish to explore this in greater depth, again, use your meditation time. Focus and say, “I’d like to explore this,” and we will assist you in revealing the Akashic records that are relevant to your relationship —if this is of interest to you. Truly, what is most important is that you feel the connection. You know it is there, and you feel very happy when you have sincerely and cheerfully attended to this one, this very elderly one, who is most precious to you.
Repose… my cat teaches me balance.
So it is all about balance, the balance of your heart and its expression in the world, the balance of your desires and your energy. In every aspect of anything you choose there is the balance. You cannot ride a bicycle without balance. You cannot do most things without balance. So it is the doing and the being. It is the feeling and the understanding. There are two wings to a bird, are there not? This is balance.
And it is not the duality of the third dimension which we are discussing. It is not the opposites. It is the balance within life expression, that there is an overarching connection between the inner and the outer, the above and the below, the within and the without —in each life expression.
So thank you for allowing me to be the one to speak with you today, and we offer you the greatest love.
Jen: Thank you, Maitreya. Thank you.

Recently, there was an algorithm on Facebook, which featured a series of interviews with people who had experienced a NDE, near death experience. How many times have we all thought, “I’m not worried about dying, it’s how I’m going to get there!”
After seeing the interviewees and hearing their stories of how beautiful and overwhelmingly love-filled it was while they were “dead,” it begs the question, “What are we afraid of?”
Perhaps you know someone who has been through a near death experience, or maybe you’ve had a NDE yourself and would like to share what it was like. We thought we would start off our next Spirit Cafe conversation with this fascinating topic, and we would love to have you join us! The doors to Spirit Cafe will open for an hour on Saturday, March 21st, at 11am EDT (New York time). Grab your favorite cuppa and let’s visit!
