The Countdown to 2012 is complete! Post 10.

 

Greetings, fellow lightworkers and earth angels and newcomers to my website! Happy New Year and welcome to the tenth and final post of the countdown. (If you missed the pre-countdown post dated 12/13/11, you may enjoy reading that one first. You can also click on the tag “Countdown” at the end of this post and all the countdown posts will pop up. Just scroll to the bottom for the very first one.)

 

 

Did you see the recent cover of Time Magazine with the person of the year pictured as The Protester? When I saw that in the store the other day, immediately an image of the person of the year as The Lightworker popped into my mind for 2012. This is because 2012 will be the Year of the Lightworker. As we move from the self-help section of the bookstore to the world-serve section of our lives, we will profoundly influence the quality and quantity of life for millions of people on Earth. The simplest way to do this is forgive daily which opens your fourth chakra and your 8th chakra — your soulmate’s heart chakra — via the 4/4 mirror, which in turn causes humanity’s collective heart to open even further. In case you are not familiar with the math, here is a summary from the back cover of Chakra Mirror Math:

 

 

The chakra mirror math reveals your hidden 8th chakra. Your 7th chakra is mirrored by your 1st and 7 + 1 = 8. Your 6th chakra is mirrored by your 2nd and 6 + 2 = 8. Your 5th chakra is mirrored by your 3rd and 5 + 3 = 8. The Heart Chakra remains and 4 + 4 = 8. This secondary Heart Chakra is your soulmate’s Heart Chakra, and your degree of openheartedness is directly mirrored by that person’s. Your soulmate’s 4th chakra is your 8th chakra. This secret chakra is the chakra that you influence, and that influences you, no matter how near or far apart you and your soulmate may be on the physical plane. What this means is that even if you do not know the identity of this person, the act of love in your life is the gift of love to their life. If you consider yourself to be a lightworker, a peaceful warrior, or a paradigm shifter, then let Chakra Mirror Math be your guide on your daily journey to opening your heart, your soulmate’s heart and humanity’s collective Heart Chakra.

 

 

The other way we will profoundly influence the quality and quantity of life for millions of people on Earth is to take action daily to answer our own prayer. So step 1 will be forgiving. And step 2 will be taking action to answer our own prayer. Forgiveness is a prayer. And a prayer is a desire given to God. When we love someone, we desire their happiness (their ability to feel God’s Love, which is the emotion Joy). When we forgive someone, we desire their happiness anyway. And, humanity’s collective 4th chakra — the world’s heart — opens with every prayer of forgiveness we give! Taking action to answer our own prayer for our own and humanity’s ability to feel God’s Love (the prayer for World Joy) will be an expression of our open heart via the 5/3 chakra mirror, the Communication/Power Mirror. We communicate our desire for World Joy every time we vote, sign petitions, write letters to those who have the authority to take action on our behalf (such as CEO’s and elected officials in authority positions), and spend money and time in ways that communicate our desire for humanity’s happiness. Each of these actions is powerful (chakra 3) because they communicate the open 4th chakra desire for world joy. To put this in perspective, consider all of those same actions, but from a closed heart — you would be communicating in ways that expressed the closed-hearted desire for world-domination! This is why, when the heart is open, the 5/3 chakra mirror is more accurately described as the Communication/Service mirror because we serve humanity with our every communication. Additionally, we communicate Love which is the only true power there is. Everything else is an attempt to control.

 

 

Let’s switch gears for just a moment and imagine that right now our guardian angel is sitting down next to us and wants to ask us a question. The question is:

“What if you knew that in less than 365 days from today, you would be done with your own issues, that your heart would be between 75 and 95% open at any given time, consistently, and you would no longer be seeking self-healing on any level?”

As a messenger of God’s Love, I am telling you that this is a possible reality for everyone who forgives daily for the next 364 days.

 

 

2012 is going to be a year of major transformation for humanity. And for a large percentage of lightworkers, 2012 will be the year they join the Circle of Angels that perpetually surrounds the Earth and envelops it in a cocoon of divine love in asking God, every morning, for everyone on Earth to be healed of all pain and sadness and filled with Joy; and then follow that prayer for World Joy with action, such as attending a peace vigil, signing a petition, writing a letter to Congress (or Parliament, etc.) and so on, later in the day. For others, 2012 will still be a year of self-healing. In one possible future, by the incredible unifying power of the Internet (preceded by the power of Divine Love), the vast majority of earth angels, lightworkers, Reiki practitioners, spiritual warriors, social justice activists, etc., will have joined in world-service and connected and amplified their light and love off-line, by early to mid-2013. What this means is that if all of the survival needs of our individual 7/1 chakra mirrors, if all the sex, creativity and identity issues of our individual 6/2 chakra mirrors, and if all the personal power/authenticity/awareness issues of our individual 5/3 chakra mirrors, are met with forgiveness, every day of 2012 by all of us lightworkers, then by the spring of 2013, humanity’s collective heart chakra could be blossoming open and waves of peace and joy and harmony could literally spread like the gales of children’s laughter on a playground during recess — easily, joyfully, and contagiously. The heart chakra is the key. And your heart chakra is the place to start, today.

 

 

One of the most important things I will teach in my lifetime is that it is the open 4th chakra that causes all of the other chakras to open and function harmoniously, including our 8th chakra, our soulmate’s heart chakra. You may get an intuitive feeling now that 2012 will be a year of self-healing. If so, that’s great. If not, and you are feeling more inclined to begin your world-service this year, you might consider signing one petition a week and challenging yourself to write your elected representatives at least once a month on an issue that is important to you. If you are feeling motivated to start a meetup group or hold peace vigils, this too would be a huge contribution to humanity.

 

 

I realized over the past 2 days of writing and editing this post that I was trying to cram a lot of 5/3 and 4/4 mirror info into one post. Instead, I will begin a new series of messages later this month addressing opportunities to engage in world-service, and who to forgive, for what, when we feel unmotivated to take action. One concept I will mention very briefly is “empathic inaction.” When we find ourselves overwhelmed by a world issue and mired in sadness because we don’t think taking action will make a difference, it is because what is happening to the world reminds us of something that happened to us in the past. Confronting the world injustice would require acknowledging pain and sadness of a similar nature in our own past. Please forgive yourself for not taking action, and right away, if you notice this is happening. If 2012 is a year to continue working on your own issues, then please simply focus on those — the world will wait! There will be plenty of opportunities to serve in 2013. Additionally, if you feel overwhelmed by the past issues that come up from your own memory and heart when you consider the world’s history and heart, ask God, “Please, God, put only the desire to forgive in my heart.” This is the 6th step of the Forgiveness Method. Simply asking God this prayer will open your heart. Giving this prayer just before bed, or even giving this prayer as a way to fall asleep, is miraculously healing and will open your heart slowly, only as much as you are ready for, when given daily. *When the heart opens, the intensity of all emotions increases, not only Joy, which is why it is imperative to know how to forgive in order to maintain a high degree of open-heartedness; otherwise the heart will re-close itself as a survival mechanism to protect you from the danger of the increased intensity of life-threatening emotions, such as despair, shame, regret, etc.* If you read post 8 of the countdown, where we discussed how the soul merges into Oneness with God during deep slow-brainwave sleep (delta sleep), then you know how healing and restorative this merge is. In order for the merge to occur, any mind-altering substances — even caffeine — must be out of the system by the time you fall asleep.

 

 

When we pray for an increased quality and quantity of life for humanity — which we ask for indirectly when we ask God to fill the hearts of everyone on Earth with Love — we are addressing the collective 7/1 Authority/Survival chakra mirror by association. Authority figures — rulers with visible and invisible crowns — are “up in” the collective 7th chakra, which is often referred to as the Crown Chakra, where they influence the quality and quantity of life, down in the 1st chakra, of the people they rule or govern. How? With their life-affirming or life-destroying actions. When rulers’ hearts are filled with Love, they will govern with Love. Let’s use the following prayer to invoke the intense love of the Circle of Angels that perpetually surrounds the Earth and envelops it in a cocoon of divine love at the same time as invoking the radiant love of the legions of guardian angels present on our planet. Remember that when we forgive, we ask for our healing, the other person’s, and the prevention of future pain of the same nature:

 

Dear God,

I join in prayer with the Circle of Angels that perpetually surrounds the Earth and envelops it in a cocoon of divine love for everyone on Earth to be healed of all pain and sadness and filled with Joy by the Power of your Love. And I join in prayer with the guardian angels of all government leaders on Earth: please, God, let all government leaders be healed of all pain and sadness and filled with Love. Please, God, let all people being governed be healed of all pain and sadness and filled with Love. Please don’t let any governments hurt their citizens in the same ways they have in the past. Please let us all be filled with love and let there be World Joy on Earth!

 

 

When we give this intense desire to God, we are desiring the happiness of everyone on Earth instead of their punishment. This kind of mercy comes from a very open heart, which causes the open mind that realizes that when people hurt others, it was because they were already in pain — and the worst kind of pain: not being able to feel God’s Love at all. Punishment would be redundant because not being able to feel God’s Love is the worst torture there is. This does not mean society would forgo accountability or stop seeking justice in a Court of Law. It does mean an absence of punishment. And here is where God’s Love works miracles: when people who have committed atrocities are healed by the power of God’s Love, an amazing thing happens. They are filled with regret. Regret is an emotion that can only be felt by openhearted people. (This probably rings a bell. It’s the same reason that sociopaths can’t feel remorse — their hearts are closed.) And when we feel regret, we want to make things right. We want to make amends. No punishment is necessary. The person who has been healed by God’s Love — because we forgave them and acted as conduits for divine love to open their hearts! — is now filled with desire to take action to right their own wrongs and correct their own injustices.

 

 

Which world leaders can you now imagine waking up one morning, filled with regret, and declaring their openhearted desire to do whatever it takes to make it right? Forgiveness is the way to peace on Earth.

 

Angel blessings to you for a joyful wonderful 2012 and beyond!

 

God bless everyone on Earth with peace and love.

The Countdown to 2012 continues … post 9.

 

Good Evening, fellow lightworkers and earth angels and newcomers to my website! Happy New Year’s Eve and welcome to the ninth post of the countdown. (If you missed the pre-countdown post dated 12/13/11, you may enjoy reading that one first. You can also click on the tag “Countdown” at the end of this post and all the countdown posts will pop up. Just scroll to the bottom for the very first one.)

 

 

2011 is ending as I type these words and as I look back on 2011, I ask myself, as I do every New Year’s Eve, What actions did I take that caused success for me this past year? and What actions did I take that did not work to help me reach my goals? I also give thanks to God for five things or experiences and ask God for five things or experiences for the coming year. Then I ask myself what actions I can take to answer my own prayer, knowing that God has filled my heart with all the inspiration necessary to know which actions to take and all the drive necessary to have enough energy to take those actions. Inspiration + Drive = Motivation. I am extremely blessed to have two friends, not lightworkers per se, but millennials who are aware of the shift humanity is making toward nonviolent conflict resolution and progress in the social justice arena for peoples around the world, who are also artists/designers and they designed this website and the chakramirrormath site, along with the covers of Chakra Mirror Math and the forthcoming The Forgiveness Method (which will be a reprint of Forgiving with the Angels, a little purple booklet I had printed in ’07 and handed out for free and sometimes for donation, and was the first publication of the seven step forgiveness method). So they are the number one thing I am thankful for. They are soulmates, so they are basically two halves of the same whole, but I almost hesitated to take them up on their offer to assist me in shining my light last year. Why? In order to prevent loss.

 

 

As lightworkers and very empathic people, we often protect ourselves from the sadness associated with loss by preventing ourselves from gain. There’s a logical reason for this: the less we have, the less we have to lose. The survival instinct, designed to protect us not only from physical danger, but the emotional danger of sadness (because we cannot cry and protect and provide for ourselves and our offspring at the same time) is always governing our actions, like a benevolent dictator. As the philosophers remind us, a benevolent dictator is still a dictator. And this one (the survival instinct) is always weighing the price of gain against the cost of loss. So we may think, Oh, it will be so great to find our soulmate and fall in love! The survival instinct, in contrast, is going into accountant mode and concluding, But it will be so awful if that person dies and we have to grieve a loss. It could cause years of lost time and time is so intrinsically valuable. What if that grief makes it too hard to even function on a daily basis, too hard to work and earn money and protect and provide for the self and any offspring we create together? Then, what may happen — because our soulmate will be experiencing the same 4th chakra derived conflict via the 4/4 mirror which means that their 4th chakra is our 8th chakra & and our 4th chakra is their 8th chakra so our two hearts reflect exactly the same degree of openness — is that we keep missing each other out in the world in order to protect ourselves from eventually losing each other.

 

 

The survival instinct, which is an extension of God’s Will and has ensured humanity’s survival and progress for millions of years — knows what we don’t (for example, when we are fertile and when we are just starting to get sick) and is always aware of what we don’t necessarily want to be aware of, such as when we are in danger. The survival instinct also knows that we will eventually experience the loss of everyone we ever meet, either through our free will decision to leave their life, their free will decision to leave ours, through our death, or through their death. For those lightworkers who are interested in the topic of immortality and view death as a waste of the human body, please know that one of the major reasons people unconsciously choose death is in order to prevent having to endure the pain and grief of all the funerals of their friends. In other words, the logic goes, If I die first, I won’t have to bury you! As far as immortality goes, it is possible but most lightworkers look forward to merging back into Oneness with God and experiencing rebirth at a later date. And most incarnated angels look forward to getting back to choir rehearsal! Yes, the Circle of Angels I always refer to, the one that perpetually surrounds the Earth and envelops it in a cocoon of divine love, is a choir.

 

 

This post ties in to post 5 of the Countdown in which we asked ourselves what we would do if we could not feel pain. This includes emotional pain, especially the pain of the sadness and grief associated with loss. This tendency to protect ourselves from the pain of loss  is universal to the human experience; it’s not only a lightworker challenge. From the time we first lose a pet as children to our first funeral as kids or teenagers, we learn that to exist is to lose. To God, it’s a blissful reunion at the soul level; death is simply coming home and being welcomed with open arms into a divine cocoon of light and bliss. God is the one who loses us when we leave Oneness and go to Earth and has to endure knowing that we are experiencing sadness and intense suffering at times, but allows it because Separation is the only state of existence that allows us to perceive the beauty of Oneness via the gift of Contrast. When our souls were merged into Oneness with God before we were born, we were experiencing Joy all the time, but couldn’t know it because there was nothing to contrast it with. Separation — life on Earth — allows us to contrast the moment of Oneness with the moment of Separation before and after, which is especially profound when it is experienced with the other half or soul. Oneness with our soulmate is Oneness with God.

 

 

When we forgive, our hearts open and we naturally shine our light. What causes us to dim it could be many things, such as a submissive desire to please authority figures “up in” our 7th chakra (or the desire to at least not displease them if they are the type to refuse to be pleased), especially our earliest trainers (usually our parents) whose desires for our happiness or unhappiness, success or failure, poverty or financial security, profoundly influence our feelings about money and survival down in the 1st chakra, via the 7/1 chakra mirror. But an even stronger push to dim our light is this survival instinct compulsion to protect ourselves from loss we’ve been discussing, especially if we have lost people we loved deeply in the past. In logical fashion, the compulsion to protect ourselves from the loss of people extends to the loss of anything we could gain, be it money, material goods, or (and especially) success. The survival instinct’s program is: Protect from Danger. If sadness, and specifically the sadness that loss can cause, is dangerous to you personally, you will unconsciously sabotage your every effort to gain anything. Why? Because the more you gain, the more you’ll have. And the more you have, the more you’ll have to lose.

 

 

We may not realize this compulsion is influencing our action or causing us to take no action. Often we know exactly what action to take to reach our goals — this could be as simple as running five errands in order to reach the goal of having no more errands to run! — but don’t feel like it. This lack of Drive is often the Survival Instinct rearing its benevolent but dictatorial head. This New Year, I ask you to make a list of 5 things/goals you would like to have or achieve in 2012. Then ask yourself what loss you stand to possibly experience if you gained all five of them. Then forgive.

 

 

Forgiveness is the key. A year ago, I was very concerned that I would become very close to my two millennial friends — the two mentioned in the first paragraph who have helped me so much over the past 9 months to bring CMM into the world and move the Forgiveness Method into a beautiful new internet home — and I feared that when I eventually lost them, it would be terribly painful (not even considering that it is possible that they could lose me first!). So what I did was take out a note card and write down a list of people I had lost in the past and forgive each of them for leaving me or myself for leaving them. Some of them I forgave simply for moving away to another state to go to school! They had no intention to hurt me by leaving but of course the loss was no less significant. Because it hurts regardless of intent, we forgive regardless of intent. If we do not, the pain remains in our hearts. The survival instinct — who wants us to live in order to survive long enough to reproduce and stay around long enough to ensure that our offspring live long enough to reproduce in turn — is vigilant. It will do whatever it takes to protect us from pain. If that means protecting us from gain in order to protect us from loss in order to protect us from sadness in order to protect us from danger, then that’s what it will protect us from. Forgiving daily overrides the survival instinct’s compulsion to dim our light, a tendency I have named “Dimmer Switch Syndrome” and discuss at length in Chakra Mirror Math.

 

Forgiveness is simply a prayer — a desire given to God for the happiness of both the person forgiving and the person being forgiven. What past losses are keeping your heart from opening and preventing you from taking action that could lead to gain? You may even forgive the soul of the first pet you lost to start this exercise. Here’s an example — we’ll use my first puppy, Pasha, a beautiful Pomeranian who died of a rare crippling disease when I was three. When we forgive, we ask for our healing, the other person’s, and the prevention of future pain of the same nature. “God, please let me be healed of all pain and sadness and filled with Joy by the power of your Love; please let Pasha be healed of all pain and sadness and filled with Joy by the power of your Love. Please don’t let Pasha hurt anyone else in the same way he hurt me by dying of a rare disease.” When we forgive others who truly did intend to hurt us, the healing fills them with Joy; then, when they are filled with Joy, they will no longer desire to hurt us or anyone else. When we forgive those who had no intention to hurt us or others, we not only heal ourselves of the heart chakra residue of past sadness and grief and them of the same heart chakra residue, our own hearts open so that future losses are far less painful. Imagine what actions you would take if you knew that no matter what happened, no matter who you loved and lost, no matter what you gained and could possibly lose, you would quickly and easily recover from any associated grief. You would take action daily after refueling with Inspiration and Drive by forgiving and not only reach your personal goals but take action daily to serve humanity as well, all the while filled with Divine Love and Joy!

 

 

Let’s make 2012 the year of embracing opportunities to forgive in order to open our hearts and shine our light in our service to humanity. Let’s be the conduit for divine love, the love that will open the world’s heart, the collective 4th chakra!

 

Angel blessings,

The Countdown to 2012 continues … post 6.

 

Good Morning, fellow lightworkers and earth angels and newcomers to my website! Welcome to the sixth post of the countdown. (If you missed the pre-countdown post dated 12/13/11, you may enjoy reading that one first. You can also click on the tag “Countdown” at the end of this post and all the countdown posts will pop up. Just scroll to the bottom for the very first one.)

 

 

Psychic attack is a part of many people’s lives, and lightworkers and other sensitive people tend to be very aware of it. During this time of seasonal celebration, we often experience feelings of dread when we know we’re going to be around particular friends and/or family members and this is because of impending psychic attack. At the core of psychic attack is another person’s desire for something that we do not also desire. So someone you know could desire your unhappiness and you could desire your happiness. If their desire is more intense than yours — and because you are now both in close physical proximity which intensifies psychic attack — the energy of the two conflicting desires will clash and cause both people emotional pain. I hope this helps to put psychic attack into perspective: the person doing the psychic attacking is actually already in pain, that’s why they psychically attacked in the first place!

 

 

Psychic attack is an element of the 6/2 chakra mirror, the Vision/Creativity mirror. When I teach the basics of the chakra system, I start right off the bat with an easy way to remember the order and subjects of the chakras. Starting at the bottom and going up to the 7th chakra, we have Money (1st), Sex (2nd), Power (3rd), Love (4th), Communication (5th), Vision (6th), Authority (7th). These nic-names oversimplify the information and are meant only to help you quickly recall the chakras and their order: the first chakra pertains to survival, but most humans use money to purchase those items (food, shelter, etc.) necessary for survival; and the second chakra pertains to creativity and procreativity, but for most people, their identity is firmly anchored to their sexual preference and number of (or lack of) offspring and so it consistently refers to sex and sexuality-derived elements of life on Earth. The energy we use to create new life is the same energy we use to create new aspects of our life, including bursts of drive to start a new project or even to clean the house. (We’ll get to the other chakras in future posts — or if you would like to read the first 44 pages of Chakra Mirror Math now, click here.)

 

 

The third eye is part of the 6th chakra and when it is open, because the heart is open (forgiving daily opens the fourth chakra which in turn causes all the other chakras to open), we can clearly see our soul’s original vision for our lifepath. Not only is this vision seen, it is known through impassioned desire to take specific actions that will bring joy to ourselves and others, through productive (and/or reproductive) action that emanates from the 2nd chakra. For those whose hearts are closed, this second chakra action is often destructive which corresponds, via the 6/2 mirror, to images of a painful unhappy future. In our example of cleaning the house above, that 2nd chakra constructive action corresponds to the vision we hold up in our 6th chakra of beauty and organization in our home.

 

 

So when someone is psychically attacking us, their 6th chakra vision of our future conflicts with our own. When our heart is open — remember, it all goes back to the 4th chakra — psychic attack will feel more like a psychic tap. If you’ve ever had someone with a big winter coat on brush you lightly while you too were wearing a thick heavy winter coat, you know you barely feel it but you are still aware that someone touched you. This is what psychic attack feels like the more open the heart is. You’ll realize, “Oh, someone’s holding a false image of me [of your personality/identity] or a false vision of my future. Hmmm … I’ll forgive them real quick.” Or, you might realize, “Oh, this person desires my unhappiness/failure/poverty/infertility/impotence/etc. right now. Time to forgive.” Forgiveness opens the heart of the person doing the forgiving and the heart of the person being forgiven. This can be a slow but sure process — in other words, you may have chosen at the soul level to live or work around a group of people you will be regularly forgiving as part of your world-service. Or it can be much more dramatic; someone you know may have been waiting at the soul level for a long long time for this burst of divine love (that you become the conduit for every time you forgive) to heal them of all pain and sadness and fill them with Joy. When we can feel God’s Love, expressed as Joy or one of a myriad of other emotions, we don’t psychically attack others because we have no desire to! This is why forgiveness as a success strategy makes so much sense and is so inherently logical. Forgiving heals pain. Forgiving prevents pain. Forgiving prevents pain because it heals pain.

 

 

Now if you don’t have the time to close your eyes — right in the middle of passing the mincemeat pie — and say the forgiveness prayer (“Please, God, let me be healed of all pain and sadness and filled with Love, please let _______ be healed of all pain and sadness and filled with Love, and please don’t let _______ hurt anyone else in the same way ______ hurt me by psychically attacking me. Please let us both be healed of all pain and sadness and filled with Joy by the power of your Love.”) which has 4 components, a desire for the forgiver’s healing, a desire for the forgivee’s healing, a desire for the prevention of future pain of the same nature, and a desire for both people to be filled with Joy, a neat trick you can use in any group situation is to request and receive love from the guardian angels of everyone present. Please pull a memory of a past gathering from your mind and visualize where everyone was sitting or standing. Now, imagine the beautiful radiant guardian angels standing right behind them! See, grandma’s guardian angel just winked at you. In all seriousness, they are all present and aware of the degree of pain or pleasure (joy) that everyone in the room is experiencing. And they all desire the happiness — the ability to feel God’s Love — of everyone in that room. So tonight or tomorrow or whenever you’ll be celebrating one of these winter holidays, request and receive a burst of divine love from the guardian angels in the room in order to stay radiant in the midst of psychic attack. Imagine the hands of your own guardian angel, standing right behind you, warm on your shoulder and waves of light and love beaming from the heart of God to the heart of your guardian angel into your heart, enveloping you in a cocoon of love and joy. Then imagine the same for everyone in the room!

 

 

In the year 2012, we can engage in this same act of service and love for the whole world by requesting and receiving love from the guardian angels of everyone present in any group situation we find ourselves in, and by imagining the cocoon of love enveloping every person we see.

 

 

Angel blessings and prayers for a wonderful happy holiday,

The Countdown to 2012 continues … post 4.

 

Good Morning, fellow lightworkers and earth angels and newcomers to my website! Welcome to the fourth post of the countdown. (If you missed the pre-countdown post dated 12/13/11, you may enjoy reading that one first. You can also click on the tag “Countdown” at the end of this post and all the countdown posts will pop up. Just scroll to the bottom for the very first one.)

 

 

New Year’s Resolutions are interesting because they show us where we don’t accept ourselves exactly the way we are. They are based in that “not enough” mindset we talked about on Day 2 of the Countdown. And when we meet people who accept themselves as overweight or unfit or as chain-smokers or binge drinkers, etc., it can feel unsettling when they display an acceptance of the shadow self, the parts of their human personality that request not approval but acceptance. In contrast, we, as lightworkers — who so often put the work in lightwork by focusing on self-improvement — often find ourselves “working” on ourselves, as if we were an old house in need of constant renovation. This quest for self-improvement can preclude acceptance. An ongoing path of self-improvement may, ironically, find its origins in deep auric wounds, expressing themselves in the present day personality as feelings of disapproval and lack of acceptance, before the fourth chakra is open. The question I ask in this post is, how can we make new year’s resolutions — and stick to them — from a place of openhearted acceptance so that we joyfully maintain our resolve throughout 2012?

 

 

 

 

Before we answer that question, and to put the (my) answer into perspective, let’s pretend for just one moment that one facet of our life or personality that we have some desire to improve upon is no longer alterable. So, for example, if you were going to resolve to save more money, imagine just for a second, that you will not be able to or if you were going to embark on a weight reduction program, that losing weight is no longer possible. Now, take it a step further. What would you do — and how would you feel — if everything about you and your life right now were going to stay the same?

 

 

In the back of your mind, of course, I ask you to please stay aware of the incredible power of influence you have over the quantity and quality of your own life and even other people’s to a degree. And because you most likely already are acutely aware of your power of influence, this situation might be a challenge to even imagine. But for the sake of understanding the nature of acceptance, let’s explore this scenario a little further.

 

 

You might recall those resolutions from previous years that were forgotten by the time February or March rolled around. What happened? If you gave up, was it because you lost hope? Or needed more motivating? Possibly. But more likely, you simply accepted yourself as you are and because your self-acceptance outweighed your flaw-disapproval, you simply forgot or lost interest in changing something that, at the deepest level, you accept about yourself. Most people do accept themselves pretty much the way they are, even if they don’t work out as much as they’d like and even if they do have some addiction or other bad habit. Then there’s the other extreme: making new resolutions everyday, all year long — this is exhausting because it requires constant self-criticism.

 

 

Is there a happy medium? Yes. Improvement is good, after all. But at the same time, there’s a fascinating paradox: when the heart is closed, we feel a need to identify our flaws with an inner flaw-detector, then declare them to others, and ruminate on them accordingly. It’s a way of punishing ourselves for being flawed in the first place. (Forgiving daily heals this compulsion.) When the heart is open, we feel a desire to take progressive action according to an inspired plan that will drive us toward a desired outcome. So the closed heart says, “I need to change. How I am right now is wrong.” The open heart says, “I desire to take action. I desire to serve in ways that bring Joy to myself and others.” The second perception emanates from the open fourth chakra; the first is based in a survival instinct derived compulsion to display submission and is a way to protect ourselves from being punished by those who could withhold money, food and shelter, love or other acknowledgement of our existence, in case we eventually achieve success which could make them feel threatened and/or inferior.

 

Remember a moment ago when I asked you to imagine — for just a second — that nothing about you or your life could be changed? Acceptance, often referred to as surrender, is a feeling of Joy over simply existing. In other words, the open heart accepts everything that cannot be changed as “the way it is” and is filled with desire to take action to change those situations that can be improved — and the act of service becomes its own reward, its own replenishing source of Joy. On Earth, it is very rare to be completely unable to use the power of influence to improve a situation, but it does happen sometimes. However, the power of forgiveness to heal and prevent future pain of the same nature remains. This is why love is the greatest power there is: it is specifically the power of influence, only forgiveness uses God who is Love as the influencer instead of our actions. We simply become the conduit for the divine love to improve the situation. In other words, the only action that is taken is the act of forgiving.

 

 

Amazingly, the more filled with acceptance we are, the more filled with desire to take action we are. So if you typically resolve every January 1 to work out three times a week going forward, but by March have generally stopped your gym membership autopay, imagine for a moment what it would feel like to desire to work out. No more, “I need to, I should, I have to” work out. Those phrases of obligation that compel us to follow the orders of an inner supervisor (or warden) who leverages control from the closed third chakra is how we maintain the presence of authority figures from the past while they are not physically present. It is a way of submissively honoring the way they acknowledged our identity in the past (as flawed and deserving of criticism) and in so doing, we declare that those rules still apply in the present and that we are obediently following them. Those authority figures are “up in” our 7th chakra of authority, influencing our perception of self, via the 7/1 mirror, with an etheric hand which, for some people, is more akin to an etheric iron fist. The easiest most effective way to heal that kind of pain is to forgive any authority figure (7th chakra), past or present, who uses or used obligation to leverage control over you and influence your feelings regarding your worthiness to exist (1st chakra). You would simply ask God to heal you of all pain and sadness and to fill your heart with love, to heal the the person you are forgiving of all pain and sadness and fill their heart with love, and then ask that this person not hurt anyone else in the same way in the future. When we give the desire for another person’s happiness up to God in the form of a prayer, instead of praying for their punishment, despite the fact that they may have very deeply hurt us our someone else we love, we are forgiving them. The key is desire. Desire for another person’s ability to feel Joy (God’s Love) very logically prevents future pain of the same nature. How? Because people who can feel God’s Love no longer take action to deliberately hurt others. Why? Because they have no desire to.

 

 

And forgiving opens the heart. Remember, the open heart chakra causes an open solar plexus (third) chakra, and causes a commensurate opening in all the other chakras, including your 8th chakra which is your soulmate’s heart chakra, as well!

 

 

As the collective heart chakra opens, humanity becomes more forgiving and more inspired and driven to take action. Now that you know what you know about forgiveness as the way to open the heart and refuel with inspiration and drive, you won’t necessarily wait until the first of the year to begin working out, eating more healthfully, etc. When you forgive, your heart opens and you will naturally feel filled with desire to take action to achieve your goals. When the heart opens, our goals often change to match the acceptance based energy of New Mercy/Forgiveness Paradigm which is anchored in humanity’s blossoming collective heart chakra. So this year, I ask you to make one resolution that involves service to humanity. Perhaps you’ll consider resolving to volunteer one hour per month or signing one petition per week or writing one letter per year to an elected official whose power of influence effects the quality and quantity of your life along with the lives of his or her other constituents. You are influential beyond measure when you forgive and measurably influential when you then take action to cause world improvement and serve humanity. All the self-improvement resolutions you may have struggled with in the past will also click into place slowly but surely as you forgive daily: you’ll find yourself easily and joyfully doing the things you may have had to cajole or force yourself to do in the past.

 

 

When you think of someone to forgive whose past usage of obligation phrases may still be influencing your present day emotions by locking you into the need mindset of a closed third chakra instead of the desire heartset of an open fourth chakra, who comes to mind?

The Gift Receipt

This past weekend marked the end of the last full weekend of shopping before the holidays. And yesterday was super busy in the area of St Paul where I live — people were swarming the shops while I was doing my best to hide and drink egg nog lattes and people-watch. I have almost finished my shopping and I love gift receipts. I love that you can give someone a gift and if they don’t like it, you never have to know that. They can return it and get what they what they actually like and feel satisfied that the amount of money you spent will go toward something they really want either way. Plus, it takes the pressure off while shopping — by this I mean, when I am in the store, looking at a few different items, holding them in my hands as I make a decision about which one I think the person will like best, I know that even if the object isn’t quite what they wanted (wrong color, wrong size, etc.), they can come back and get the other one, or something completely different I never would have anticipated.

 

 

We can give our love with an etheric gift receipt too. When we act as a conduit for divine love, and love flows back and forth between our heart, the other person’s heart, and the heart of God (the collective 4th chakra), we energetically communicate (at the soul level) that our gift of love requires nothing in return. This is akin to holding up a red neon sign at the soul level that says, “I desire your happiness while acknowledging that at the same time, because I am not omniscient, I may not know specifically what that will entail.” So I might be thinking that chick&egg salt and pepper shakers would bring the person joy, and they’re thinking more along the lines of puppy&fire hydrant salt and pepper shakers.

 

 

So it’s the desire that counts. When we desire another person’s happiness, we desire their ability to feel God’s Love, which is often experienced as the emotion Joy.  We give our love in lots of ways, as gifts, as money, and, mostly, as time. We spend time on people. And when we mutltitask, we often find ourselves spending time with people while spending our minutes on ourselves. When we are around those who multitask (for example, by checking their texts in the middle of a conversation with us), it’s helpful to go back to the idea of giving love — in the currency of time — with a gift receipt. Most people spend their time in order to get money so when we give people an object we’ve picked out as a gift, we actually spend time and money on them. However many minutes and hours you worked to get the amount of money you spent is the gift’s true cost to you.

 

 

One of the greatest presents you can give to yourself in 2012 is to spend your time even more prudently than your money. Consider this: one person could earn a million dollars in a year and another could earn ten thousand dollars in the same 12 month time frame. But God gave both of them 8,760 hours to spend. Our guardian angels ask us, “How many of those 525,600 minutes did you spend while filled with Joy?” From this perspective, our levels of income, debt, savings, salary, wage, etc., become details. The essence of opening and enjoying the gift of Time is spending it while filled with Divine Love. When the 4th chakra, the heart, is open, we are filled with Inspiration and Drive — this means that we are inspired by great ideas and become aware of which actions would most effectively lead to our desired outcome, and are then driven to take those actions because we are filled with energy, alertness and eagerness.

 

Here’s an interesting way to cut down on wasted minutes: as we noted above, when we give a gift, we’re not only giving the person a dollar or currency amount (however much we spent to buy the object), we are also giving them time, specifically the amount of time it took us to earn that many dollars and cents. So when dealing with people who do not value their time or ours, a gift is a great way to give your time without losing minutes. How? By spending time on them but not with them. Or reducing the amount of time with them. Very successful people — who are usually successful because they are so often spending time to achieve their goals — do this all the time. They drop by with a gift, spend enough time querying us about our life to make us feel that we are interesting and that our answers are valued, and then they’re off! We’re never bored around them, they always leave us with something intriguing to remember them by, and their confidence and heightened awareness of the value of time causes us to admire them and desire to emulate them.

 

 

In the year 2012, we can emulate this success strategy. We can give love, money, objects, and time with a gift receipt, and we will grow in appreciation of the overwhelmingly generous gift of time that God so fairly and consistently gives to everyone on Earth by depositing 24 hours into everybody’s time account, every night at midnight. What we do with that 24 hours is up to us (if we live in a free country, and after the requisite number of minutes and hours have been spent on sleep and other survival needs) which makes the gift of Time a part of the 7/1 Chakra Mirror, the God/Money Mirror (a.k.a. the Authority/Survival Mirror). This is because money is time. People say time is money, but in truth, money is the human attempt to contain and assign value to time.

 

 

Let’s make every minute count in 2012!

The Chakra Mirrors are steppingstones that we, as lightworkers and earth angels and peaceful warriors, can use to hop onto and prance our way to World Joy. In fact, what I want for Christmas is a Weird Al remake of Lady GaGa’s Just Dance called Just Prance.

 

 

If you’re just tuning into this countdown, here’s a brief recap of the Chakra Mirror Math:

The chakra mirror math reveals your hidden 8th chakra. Your 7th chakra is mirrored by your 1st and 7 + 1 = 8. Your 6th chakra is mirrored by your 2nd and 6 + 2 = 8. Your 5th chakra is mirrored by your 3rd and 5 + 3 = 8. The Heart Chakra remains and 4 + 4 = 8. This secondary Heart Chakra is your soulmate’s Heart Chakra, and your degree of openheartedness is directly mirrored by that person’s. Your soulmate’s 4th chakra is your 8th chakra. This secret chakra is the chakra that you influence, and that influences you, no matter how near or far apart you and your soulmate may be on the physical plane. What this means is that even if you do not know the identity of this person, the act of love in your life is the gift of love to their life. If you consider yourself to be a lightworker, a peaceful warrior, or a paradigm shifter, then let Chakra Mirror Math be your guide on your daily journey to opening your heart, your soulmate’s heart and humanity’s collective Heart Chakra.

 

 

The chakra mirror math shows us how areas of Life on Earth – and their associated challenges and joys — actually reflect a challenge in another, correponding, area of life.

 

*The 7/1 Mirror is the Authority/Survival Mirror but we could also call it the God (who is the ultimate authority)/Money (which helps us attain things necessary for survival) Mirror. So when we’re experiencing a money/survival challenge, it’s actually reflective of an Authority/God issue, and when we experience feelings of being undeserving or unworthy of existing (surviving), it’s reflective of feeling disconnected from God.

 

*The 6/2 Mirror is the Vision/(Pro-)Creativity Mirror so when we’re experiencing a block on ”getting clear” on our vision for the future, including setting clear goals and achieving them, it’s actually reflective of a creativity issue. The second chakra, which relates to our sexual feelings, desires, and experiences, is in turn reflective of the vision we hold of our identity and our future. Creative energy is sexual energy. Whether we’re channeling it into scrapbooking or baking cookies or engaging in casual hook-ups or making love with our soulmate and/or creating new life (procreating), we’re taking creative (or destructive) action which will influence the future, and our place in that future.

 

*The 5/3 Mirror is the Communication/Power Mirror and when the heart is open, we call it the Communication/Service Mirror because we serve from an open 4th chakra, to communicate Love. The act of forgiving is the essence of the 5/3 Mirror from an open heart because forgiveness is a prayer — communication to God — that transforms our very human body, the vessel for our soul, into a conduit for Divine Love that allows us to serve humanity, by loving them.

 

 

When we love someone, we desire their happiness (their ability to feel Joy). When we forgive someone, we love them anyway. We desire their happiness anyway. And the most effective way to get someone healed and back to that place of Joy (where they have no desire to hurt anyone else) is to give our desire for their happiness to God so God can use us as the conduit and return the favor! We ask God, “please let me be healed of all pain and sadness and let the other person be healed of all pain and sadness. Please don’t let ____ hurt anyone else in the same way they hurt me.” (Or, if we are forgiving someone for hurting someone else, “Please don’t let _____ hurt anyone else the way they hurt [whoever the somone else is.]“) You might try this the next time someone cuts you off on the road while driving. Or cuts someone else off on the road and almost causes an accident. Your physical body, via your heart chakra and physical heart, will become a conduit for God’s Love. The person you forgive is healed of any intentional desire to hurt others and any tendency to accidentally hurt others! Forgiving is the greatest act of love we will perform in our lifetime on Earth. It’s the most powerful service (3rd chakra) there is because it invokes love which heals pain and prevents future pain of the same nature, simply by asking God (communicating – 5th chakra) to fill the person we are forgiving with Love.

 

 

Now let’s touch on the 4/4 Mirror which we could call the Love/Forgiveness Mirror. Every time we forgive, our heart opens that much more and so does our soulmate’s. Additionally, the open heart causes the other chakras to open. So whenever we address an authority/money issue or a vision/creativity issue or a communication/power issue with Love — by forgiving — we lay the groundwork for taking resolution oriented action to solve the problem and (such awesome multitasking!) open our soulmate’s heart at the same time.

 

 

It all comes back to the heart. An issue may seem confined to one chakra but really, the issue was originally caused (and is perpetuated by) a closed fourth chakra. The chakra mirror math allows us to view and understand our entire etheric body, including the personality overlay comprised of geometric patterns, imprints, and wounds, which is part of the auric field, along with the chakras, in a detailed and holistic light.

 

 

The whole is greater than the sum of its parts. This means a pie isn’t just crust + fruit + sugar + butter + spices, it’s a delicious desert that we have labeled pie because the whole is greater than simply the sum of the ingredients. And the chakra system is greater than a 1st, a 2nd, a 3rd, a 4th, a 5th, a 6th and a 7th chakra. It’s a holistic, interdependent, system — much like the organs in the digestive system or the excretory system or the cardiovascular system. What effects one organ will have an effect on the others in that system, and then, because all of the systems are in turn interrelated, eventually on organs in another system.

 

 

The Year 2012 is likely to be filled with opportunities to prevent future pain of the same nature. As lightworkers, we can communicate our desire for World Joy by serving with our words and our actions, and strengthen our vision of what World Joy might entail as we channel our creative/sexual energy into progressive action. Our relationship with authority will become more and more reflective of love and peace and harmony as our relationship with God becomes anchored in forgiveness and the desire for other people’s happiness. This in turn will ensure that humanity not only survives, but thrives, for millennia to come!

 

 

Who comes to mind when you think of someone you wish could be so filled with Joy and Divine Love that they never desired to take an action that caused someone else pain again? Let’s join in prayer with the Circle of Angels that perpetually surrounds the Earth and envelops it in a cocoon of divine Love for God to fill not only that person with Joy but everyone on the entire planet!

 

“Dear God,

please let everyone on Earth be healed of all pain and sadness

and filled with Joy by the power of your Love.”

 

 

Angel blessings,

The Countdown to 2012 has begun!

 

Good Morning, fellow lightworkers and earth angels and newcomers to my website! Welcome to the first post of the countdown. (If you missed the pre-countdown post dated 12/13/11, you may enjoy reading that one first. It was “Birthday Reflections” and immediately preceded this post.)

 

The year 2012 is the year we’ve been waiting for, the year that humanity’s collective heart chakra will spend preparing to open so that we can make the transition from Old Justice/Vengeance Paradigm to New Mercy/Forgiveness Paradigm. Millions of lightworkers around the world have been laying the groundwork for a relatively drama-free transition from the current state of events to World Joy.

 

When you think of World Joy, what comes to mind? It’s interesting to consider world joy and contrast it with world peace. Where peace implies an absence [lack] of fear, joy implies the presence of love [enough]. Often what people are most focused on achieving – because they perceive themselves to be in a state of deficit, and by that I mean, to be in a constant state of lacking something, be it peace or prosperity or awareness — reveals what they were shamed for not being or doing in the past. Intense emotional experiences that happen to us before puberty imprint our auric field and literally shape and mold our sense of self. The intense feelings of shame, sadness and/or danger we experienced during a moment in childhood where we felt we might not survive, or felt stupid (ashamed/humiliated) or felt sad (and were possibly shamed for feeling sad or crying, at the same time) cause a depression or wound in our auric field, one that is filled with the other person’s energy, usually an authority figure we would have done anything to please. When we grow up, because that energy filled that auric hole for so long and so intensely, we often feel compelled to seek others with a similar energy in order to maintain an identity that long ago rooted itself in a perception of ourselves as not enough of _______. So for example, not smart enough, not confident enough, not good enough, and in general, not enough. Our very perception of ourselves as existing depends on finding and maintaining relationships with those who perceive us the same way we were most intensely and most frequently perceived prior to the time our auric field set.

 

(The setting of the auric field happens around age 25 when the human brain finally stops growing: the prefrontal cortex, the last part of the brain to mature, governs reasoning and impulse control. This is why, at age 25, car insurance rates go down: we become more reasonable, less impulsive, and also less easily influenced by others with very strong energy. In other words, the human brain and the auric field “set” right around the same time. I go into this topic at length in Chakra Mirror Math because we also begin to take fewer risks.)

 

 

So you can probably imagine how this leads many people to perceive themselves as deeply lacking something or many things, and because they feel compelled by the magnetism of their auric wounds to seek those who perceive others as deeply lacking, they end up constantly feeling deficient and filled with the need for something — and the only answer is more. More money, more power, more sex, more love, more more more more more more! (Or more cowbell if you’re Christopher Walken on SNL.)

 

An abundance of Cowbell

 

This applies to the concept of World Peace as well. This is because peace isn’t something we perceive until after we’ve felt fear. Then we want more peace because there’s been too much fear. Now, let’s apply that same logic to the emotion joy. As humans, we can feel Joy without ever having known sorrow or grief or despair or agony or sadness or a broken heart. Children laugh like hysterical little hyenas on the playground. Babies coo and smile and even chuckle without ever knowing loss. Peace, in contrast, requires war or anxiety or terror to be experienced first — then the desire for peace becomes that internal driving force.

 

In World Joy, rather than an abundance of everything we could ever want or need, humanity would simply enjoy enough. An abundance is in truth a surplus! When everyone has enough, it’s because no one feels compelled to seek more more more more. And the reason no one feels compelled to seek more, is because no one is walking around with auric wounds that make them feel like they’re not _____ enough, or don’t have enough ______. The collective heart chakra is open and filled with divine love! (So, filled or full — not overflowing, because that would indicate a surplus. There would be enough.) The open heart chakra causes this perception of there being enough for everyone. Everyone would know how to forgive so the open heart chakra is in turn easily and joyfully maintained. Whenever there was a conflict, the people involved would forgive to get back to joy. So, rather than an absence of conflict altogether, the presence of conflict would simply be easily and quickly resolved through the power of forgiveness to heal and open the heart chakra which in turn prevents future pain of the same nature. (How? Because people’s whose hearts are open do not take action to deliberately hurt other people. Why? Because they have no desire to.) Everyone would have what they wanted — but what specifically those desires entailed might drastically change. Ironically, many people may want a whole lot less! From page 67 of “Chakra Mirror Math:”

 

 

When the heart is open, we have no desire to take what
we want at the expense of others.
No justification regarding our degree of deserving is necessary.
When the heart is closed, we can’t feel desire for
the things we already have.
No feeling of sustained desire is possible.

 

 

The Year 2012 is likely to be a year of transformation for many people in all areas of their lives. I do not predict the future. Rather, I view the incredible progress of humanity throughout history and measure the likelihood of future gigantic leaps and incredible bounds of a similarly impressive nature. When people doubt that the date of World Joy is already on the calendar, I remind them how many people doubted that the slaves would be freed after the Civil War, that women would get the right to vote, and that there would be a black president. The internet will unite more lightworkers more effectively than ever before: in fact, the democratic participation at the core of the world wide web will be the framework for offline world wide joy. So not only are we able to join in prayer with the Circle of Angels that perpetually surrounds the Earth and envelops it in a cocoon of love for everyone on Earth to be healed of all pain and sadness and filled with Joy, we are then able to take action to answer our own prayer, on and offline.

 

 

2012 is also likely to be a year of soulmate reunions for lots and lots of lightworkers. The internet we just spoke of is an incredible tool with which to override the survival instinct’s compulsions to seek a certain type of person (“our type,” the personality type that the wounds and imprints in our auric fields compel us to seek, via our “Lovemap”) by taking away our ability to detect fertility and virility indicators in person, the kind that cause us to feel compelled to mate and reproduce and ensure the survival of our species. Instead the internet allows us to seek someone who desires the same kind of lifestyle we do and has the same values and spiritual views as our own. Imagine an internet world free of both too-much and not-enough, and an in-real-life world that emulates that ideal ratio. When applied to soulmates, that situation would allow us to experience a joyful — blissful — reunion with our other half, free of the drama of missed connections, relationships with people who are not only not our soulmate, but not compatible with us, and free of the pain and sadness soulmates who reject each other endure (until they forgive and get back together — if they eventually do). Then, as humanity’s collective heart chakra opens even further, the use of the internet as a filter will no longer be necessary, as openhearted soulmates will never confuse someone who is not his or her soulmate with the person who is, because the survival instinct’s compulsion to procreate is transformed into a desire to create, whether that’s creating new life or creating a brand new life for the pair of newly reunited soulmates.

 

 

Want to start out your Countdown to 2012 with joy and love in your heart? Imagine a world where every morning, everyone on Earth awakened and rolled out of bed or off the sleeping mat or futon and joined in prayer with the Circle of Angels:

God, I join in prayer with the Circle of Angels that perpetually surrounds the Earth and envelops it in a cocoon of love for everyone on Earth to be healed of all pain and sadness and filled with Joy!

 

 

Why would we do this? We would give this prayer each morning because in doing so, we would become a conduit for divine love. As we give the desire for World Joy up to God, our physical body, the vessel for our soul, anchors love to Earth, opening the collective heart chakra even further. So how would this cause World Joy? When the heart is open, people do not hurt others. Why not? Because they have no desire to.

 

 

Angel blessings to you and have a great day!

12/16/2011

 

 

 

 

This Friday, December 16, is my 31st birthday. I don’t remember ever looking so forward to a birthday — or a New Year — as I have been to this one. The year of being 30 was full of awe — at some points as awful as it was awesome!

 

And the biggest shift I experienced in the past year happened upon awakening on 12/16/10. That morning, after a consistent two year on- and offline search for him, I decided to stop waiting for my soulmate before publishing “Chakra Mirror Math.” I hadn’t realized until that very morning how deeply I did not want to “go public” and teach the chakra math and the forgiveness method (and everything else I had learned about our 8th chakra and humanity’s collective 4/4 chakra mirror since 2006) without my soulmate’s presence in my life. And I hadn’t realized how much that longing was influencing my writing and ever so subtly, slowing me down. As long as it wasn’t finished, he could still appear before I went public. It hit me — and quite hard as I sipped my Highlander Grog flavored coffee and stirred in Irish Cream flavored creamer that day — how the book had been more or less drafted and complete from an outline standpoint since April of 2008 when I held the first Forgiveness Festival in Minneapolis at the Lake Harriet Spiritual Community. The Lightworker’s Meditation, the chapters on the mirrors, the math, and etheric body basics, the complexities of many lightworkers’ submissive compulsion to dim their own light in order to prevent others from feeling sadness and pain when those others compare their degree of success, power, awareness, confidence, etc., and feel short-changed in contrast to that of the lightworkers (a.k.a. Dimmer Switch Syndrome) — all of those chapters were written back in 2008.

 

And still, I had dragged … and dragged … and dragged. Waiting for my soulmate to find me or for me to find him — for us to run into each other! Then, on my thirtieth birthday, the most amazing thing happened. I woke up and didn’t want him. I simply wanted his happiness. And so I wrote. And I wrote and wrote and wrote. And I realized I had about half a book left to write — that I had learned so much in 2009 and 2010, that the book would probably be about twice as long as I originally planned. (It ended up being a healthy 350 pages or so, a little over a 100k words.) In fact, I ended up cutting over 12k words, most of which will go into a future project. But the end result, “Chakra Mirror Math,” was a true labor of love, and it consumed me in the way romantic love often consumes a pair of soulmates. I lived it and breathed it for years, but I waded into its waters, and dreamed it and slept there in the mirrors, absorbing additional tidbits of insight, for the last nine months, and almost nothing distracted me from my goal of publishing it in 2011. CMM was born on September 1, 2011.

 

So this year, as I turn 31 and we arrive in the future — the Year 2012 — I am filled with a sense of peace and accomplishment as visions of cinnamon apple cider and warm rhubarb pie and vanilla bean candles and fireplaces and couches you sink into, and have a hard time getting out of, remind me of how much I love the beauty and silence of the natural world during this time of year. Holiday memories, some good, some sad, some funny, and some worth buying a brand new picture frame for so they can find a new home on the wall for everyone to reminisce to, tap me on the shoulder to whisper, “the best is yet to come.”

 

And the reason I know the best is yet to come is because I take action every day to ensure that end result. So, in that spirit of both inspiration and drive, I decided that my birthday present will be a motivational countdown to 2012. Starting Friday morning, December 16, 2011, I will post a new message each day (on weekends, I’m telling you now, it won’t be morning that the post goes up — but if you follow me on twitter or subscribe to my RSS feed, you’ll know as soon as I post it). I’ll feature excerpts from both “Chakra Mirror Math” and “Forgiving with the Angels;” look for topics like opening the third eye chakra, how singing opens the heart, and a few commentaries on the holidays and ways to deal with stress, including yoga, receiving love from other people’s guardian angels, and joining in prayer with other people’s guardian angels. Also, a few tips on dealing with psychic attack and auric wounds.

 

Happy New Year just a few days early. Let’s join in prayer with the Circle of Angels who perpetually surround the Earth and envelop it in a cocoon of divine love for 2012 to be the best year yet for humanity. God, please let the collective heart chakra be flooded with divine love, and please let everyone on Earth be filled with Joy!

 

P.S. We’ll definitely go back to the soulmates topic in many future posts.
