Autumn Chill

It’s that bittersweet time of year when the air turns cooler and I bring out the first sign of autumn – my trusty space heater. This little puppy is in my office nearly ten months of the year because Seattle is almost always just a little chilly. I go through the ritual of packing it away in July and August just to help myself really believe that it’s really summer. 

I switched from a forced air heater to a radiant heat unit when I realized that I have to take better care of my voice. Talking all day, most days, has actually caused my voice to become lower and creakier than it used to be. I thought about taking voice lessons to help me manage it better, but for now I just avoid forced air and drink a lot of water and special tea.

And I sometimes warm up my voice before a long day of channeling. Only instead of singing something like “La, la, la,” I typically sing something from a Broadway musical or a happy pop song instead.  OK, maybe I do that not so much to warm up my voice but to wake myself up in the morning, but it serves both purposes.

This is one of the strange aspects of my work that I never would have guessed -- that being a channeler means special tea and potential voice lessons.

I would love to hear from other Lightworkers – healers, teachers, and others. Have you found unexpected physical consequences from doing your work? What have you found to help keep you healthy and strong?

September 11

Don’t tell anyone, but I’m about to break the rules. I’m going to share a channeling that is usually reserved only for members of my website, because I just realized something that stopped me in my tracks.

Every year when I channel the Daily Message for September 11, I always pay a little more attention because it is such an important day in our history as a country and across the world. Two weeks ago when I channeled ahead for this day, here is what I got: 

“September 11, 2012: There is a sense that everything changes today, like a revolving door. Be prepared to try something new.” 

So, why am I telling you this? Why is this message for September 11 so special? Because it isn’t special at all. I am sharing this message because it is so unbelievably mundane that it reveals something remarkable. 

I looked back to last year’s September 11 Message and here’s what it said: 

“September 11, 2011: The collective energy of this day for 2001 still resonates. It is time this year to roll up your sleeves and move forward. This day on the calendar is ending its contract to hold collective trauma. Do your part to step into an empowered stance by taking positive action in your life, rather than dwelling on your regrets. You have healed what you can by sitting still. It is time to heal by acting with integrity, compassion, and empowerment.” 

Did you catch that? This day on the calendar is ending its contract to hold collective trauma. In other words, starting last year there is no longer karma held by this day in regard to those heartbreaking events in 2001. This means that whatever feelings we still carry from that terrible day are being carried by us as individuals and BY CHOICE. If we are still resentful, fearful, or otherwise traumatized, it’s up to us to heal it. The time-space continuum held a vibration for this for ten years. I think it probably did so to hold that collective trauma for us so we could deal with it one step at a time instead of all at once. But now, according to the Records, that collective space in time is done with holding trauma. 

Does this mean we are to forget those events? I don’t think so. Do we have an excuse to feel traumatized and resentful every September 11 from here forward? According to the Records, not anymore. 

As usual, our healing is in our own hands and what we choose to do with our heartbreak is up to us. 

And that, my friends, is the thing that inspired me to break the rules today. I just had to tell you because, at least for me, this information is liberating. I can stop feeling a little guilty and sad every time this day rolls around and finally let it be just another day. Do I still cry sometimes when I think about September 11, 2001? Yes. Will I ever forget? No. I became a different person on that day and I am still working to transform my fear into love. I’m just going to do it throughout the year when my heart calls me to it instead of when it appears on the calendar. 

What about you?  How do you approach September 11 each year? 

Disembodied Voice No Longer

Most of my work involves talking, and most of the talking I do for my job is recorded. Lots and lots of people have listened to audio channelings on my website or received personal consultations from me over the past ten years, and after all that talking I forget that most you have never seen me in action. Unless you've had the chance to meet me in person, I've been a disembodied voice. But that's about to change. You can now find me on video!

This week, Steve Crow at Soul Adventure TV interviewed me about the Akashic Records. We spoke via Skype and he used fancy technology to make that interview into a video that anyone can watch. I had a wonderful time speaking with him once I got over feeling incredibly awkward about speaking to the little green dot above my laptop screen.

(I mean, really, wouldn't you feel a little weird looking at this as you converse with someone?)

Luckily, I got over it thanks to Steve and his great questions. As you know, I love to talk about my work in the hope I can make the Akashic Records more accessible for everyone.

So grab some popcorn, sit back, and enjoy the video at: www.AkashicTransformations.net/video-library

On second thought, don't sit back too much because it turns out I spoke almost as fast on this video as I do in my channelings. Hang onto your hat!
