Free Will and Energetic Consent



by Jennifer Hoffman -

Our free will allows us to choose any path we wish for our life and we do that every day, with every thought, word, and action, whether we realize it or not. 

Contained within our free will choices are decisions about the frequency, vibration and type of energy we will allow in and into our lives and on the earth. 

Two Distinct Paths

There are two distinct paths for how we allow energy to flow into and out of our lives — we can either adjust ourselves to the energy around us or set strong boundaries and stay in the frequencies we choose for ourselves. 

A more appropriate term for free will is ‘energetic consent’ because it is a process of allowing energy flows according to where we focus our intention and attention and by allowing these energies to flow, which we do by not choosing another level of energy, we agree to its presence. 

Understanding Energetic Consent

That’s why understanding our energetic consent is critical now, since with each thought and choice, we are creating an exponential energetic impact for ourselves and for everyone and everything around us.

When we talk about energy flows and consent, we must look at attention and intention because they can point energy in different directions. 

For example, I may set my intention to get something done but if my attention is distracted by something else, I will intend one thing and do another. Where did my energetic consent go? To whatever got my attention, no matter what my intention was. 

By allowing myself to be distracted, I unconsciously gave my energetic consent for my energy to align with and expand what got my attention.

Our energy flows tend to by guided by our attention, rather than our intention, especially around situations with strong emotions. Unless we are aware of how powerful our energetic consent is, we will allow distractions to scatter our energy, which disempowers our intention and flows our energy into situations that don’t serve us. 

It creates energy flows that may be inconsistent with our desire for evolution and ascension, as well as for the presence of peace, love, joy, and abundance on earth and for humanity.

I want to live in a world that flows with loving, compassionate, supportive energy frequencies, do you? 

We can create that with awareness of energetic consent. 

One more thing, unless we are aware of how we consent or agree to energy, our energies are easily manipulated by things that get our attention. 

We end the manipulation by stating clearly and powerfully what we will energetically consent to, which creates a bigger energy container for the energies we want, and sets our energetic boundaries to limit the presence of energies we don’t want.

Energetic consent is how we control energy flows into and out of our lives and since we are energetic beings, knowing how we work with energy becomes one way that we can be fully aligned with our intention for our lives and for the world. 

Managing Our Energetic Resources

When we’re aware of the power and potential of our energetic consent, we ensure that our attention and intention are fully aligned, there is a clear path for energy to flow into, and we have greater control over our movement between dimensional realities. 

We’re moving back and forth, from 3D to higher dimensions, creating large reality gaps that are more easily navigated when we pay attention to what we are energetically consenting to, aligning our intention and attention to becoming containers for the highest frequencies and vibrations possible.

The more we move into evolution and ascension, the greater the responsibility we have for managing our energetic resources. And the way we do that is through energetic consent.

You can see more in the video here and there is a sample Declaration of Energetic Consent below, which you can use as a sample to set your energetic consent to ensure that you are working with and within the highest frequencies and vibrations.

Here is a sample Declaration of Energetic Consent you can use to overcome energetic manipulation, declare your energetic sovereignty and acknowledge your energetic free will:


Declaration of Energetic Consent
I now give my energetic consent that the highest possible frequencies and vibration are now present on the planet, in our solar system, galaxy, and universe. 
I now give my energetic consent to be filled with the Source light of the highest frequencies and vibrations and I expand that light and those frequencies and vibrations to all of humanity. 
I now give my energetic consent to be a container for energy of the highest frequencies and vibrations and to be a source of those energies for everyone and everything, everywhere. 
I now give my energetic consent for the creation of a direct pathway to Source light and energy for myself and for all of humanity and for the Earth. 
I now give my energetic consent for the participation of every being and energy, throughout the cosmos, with the highest intentions for humanity, to assist us in clearing the planet of all lower energies and frequencies whose purpose, focus, and intention is harming the human heart, spirit, and energy. 
I now give my energetic consent that the Earth now continuously receive light and energy to overcome, vanquish, and release any and all energies that are not in the highest purpose for humanity and the planet. 
I now give my energetic consent that the highest possible frequencies and vibrations of the energies of peace, joy, love, and abundance, are now available as an unlimited, continuous, and constant source for myself, for all of humanity, for every being and life form, and for the Earth.
We are surrounded by a vast sea of energy, containing every possible frequency that we can embody or aspire to, and many that we cannot or wouldn’t want to. 

They are all there and in order for any of them to be present, we must consent to them, which expands them in our lives, in the lives of others and on the planet. 

This is how we use our free will, we agree to be aligned with certain energies. 

If we want to change the energy of any personal, individual, or collective situation or reality, we have to change what we give our energetic consent to. 

When we consent to the presence of energies together, we empower the energy we want to live in and with, and that’s how we create heaven on earth.

Where is the Love?



by Jennifer Hoffman -

Although we begin our life journey with full knowledge and understanding of unconditional love, the twists and turns of our path remind us that earth can be a very 'unloving' place.

The love we give is often not returned to us and when we have experience enough 'loveless' situations and relationships, we begin to wonder what happened to the love that everyone is supposed to have.

Do they keep it for themselves or is there some secret we don't know to receive love? We willingly give love to others but where is the love in the world if it is not being shared with us?

How many times do we give love to others only to have them reject us and our love? How many times do we approach a situation with acceptance and healing and the response is denial of our gift of love?

If we are willing to give love, then where is the love that should be our reward? We can believe that it is our mission to teach the world to love and we will find love someday.

While we are challenged to give love to everyone without expectation of receiving anything in return, there is a way to ensure that we receive all of the love we give and more.

We can take two paths for love; each of them reflects our intention for the love we give. 
1. One path is to give love conditionally, with the expectation of receiving. 
Then we find the person who is least likely to return our love and challenge ourselves to somehow get them to love us. 
Despite our expectations and no matter how much love we give, they will give us what they can, which is often little or none at all. 
This is the karmic path, because we connect to those we have loved, wronged or been wronged by in the past and our gift of love is an attempt to heal that wound. 
Our love is conditional, we want something in return, either to be validated, vindicated, appreciated or forgiven and this is manipulation, not unconditional love. 
2. The other path is to love ourselves unconditionally, to be the love we wish to have and we will connect to people and situations that mirror our self love. 
There is love in the world. Each of us has a core of divine love that we can express, or not, according to our soul's path and willingness to embody the divinity in our humanity. 
No matter how much we look for love, unless we have it within us, we will be unfulfilled and dissatisfied with our results because the love we find is always a mirror of the love we are willing to acknowledge within. 
No matter how 'unloving' the world may appear, there is always love present and we can experience that love in wonderful, fulfilling ways when we remember to look for it within. 
When we expect love, unconditionally and without judgment, it will be there for us and the love we give will be returned to us.

Love in the Present Moment



by Jennifer Hoffman -

The love and the light that is required on your ascension journey is reflected in your reality in each moment. You cannot love in the past for that moment is gone. You cannot love in the future because its details have not yet been created and every aspect of the future depends on what you do in each present moment.

If you want the future to be joyful, fulfilling, loving and abundant you must create that energy in this moment.

Do not be distracted by what the moment appears to be, its outcome is calling you to send light, to shift its energy by allowing your desires to be your focus, acknowledging what you have created and raising its frequency by sending love and light to its darkest aspects.

Each thing you are aware of and judge is part of the past and although it appears to be real, present and permanent, it is only an echo of your most recent manifestation.

When you can perceive a result you are looking at the past. When you know an outcome, you are experiencing the result of a manifestation that has already been created.


It is through your focus on creation and manifestation in the present moment, being mindful of the past as a map which indicates where you need to focus your light, you heal the past from the present moment and create the future at a higher vibration.

If you perceive your reality to lack love, peace, joy and abundance you are aware of where your love and light are needed to create a different outcome in the next present moment.

Rather than judge an outcome as good or bad, be aware of where you can send more light, be more empowered and connect with your inner guidance to create a different outcome.

When you judge the past or criticize your efforts you lock your energy into the past and stay in that moment, which is repeated in the next moment.

The past is a map of how you have been using your light and energy and your reality reflects an outcome, an echo of your energetic frequency whose purpose is to show you what you are creating so you can choose to continue in that direction or to do something different.

It is by being fully grounded within each present moment and using what you perceive in the echo you know as the outcome to change your energetic frequency by sending more love and light to yourselves, which changes the outcome in the next moment.

A new future is created from love and light, while the past is re-created from judgment and darkness.

Stand in love in each present moment, love each circumstance you judge as limiting, forgive those who hurt you and send light to each situation so you empower yourself  beyond the past, beyond the hurt and judgment and beyond your own fears.

You are the light of God and the promise of ascension and it is by standing in the light of your own truth as a child of the Light that you allow that light to empower you beyond fear. 

As you love in the present moment you allow the future to become an echo of light instead of an echo of darkness and fear.

This is how you create heaven on earth, the promise of ascension for you and for the world and how you become the promise of your own light and create your reality from the potential of your highest energetic frequency and vibrations.

The Energy of Love



by Jennifer Hoffman -

Love brings up so many feelings and thoughts, most of them involving our past love life which may not have been pleasant.

We think of love as the ultimate goal of our life but what we are focused on is emotional love, the feeling, instead of unconditional love, the state of being.

Since we are emotional beings in our human state, we connect more easily with love on that level because it makes us feel good, from the ego’s perspective, in ways that unconditional love does not.

Our search for love is our desire for instant gratification and material proof that we are worthy and deserving of love versus the willingness to be in a state of knowing that love exists even if we don’t have the physical proof of it in our lives.

Physical proof means, among other things, being in a loving, intimate relationship, having people who express their love for us through acceptance and acknowledgement and who let us know, through how they respond to us, that they love us.

We have a ‘love agenda’ that clearly defines what love means to us. When others’ behavior and actions do not meet our love agenda we think they are not loving and we are unworthy of love.

There is an element to emotional love that feels temporary, confusing and anxious—does someone really love us, how can we know it will last forever? Every relationship has a temporary aspect to it that we may not want to look at but that we know is there.

The person who loves us today could change their mind tomorrow and then we’re without love in our life. So often our desire for love is expressed as a fear of being shown an awful truth we don’t want to consider, that we are truly unlovable.

When we have the fear of being unlovable and unloved, we attract people who mirror that to us. 

On a spiritual level they love us more than we can imagine but on the material plane, they have no choice but to mirror our beliefs about love back to us. In a message from Archangel Uriel several years ago I wrote “You will never receive more love from others than you have for yourself.”

 Of course we love ourselves, or at least some aspects of ourselves, but are we able to know love in the spiritual sense, as in unconditional love, no matter what happens on the physical?

Unconditional love is one of humanity’s greatest challenges because as long as there is one iota of judgment, we are into a conditional expression of love, meaning “if you do this or act this way or say these things then I know you love me and if you don’t, then you do not love me.”

We extend that to how we believe ourselves worthy of love if we don’t receive that confirmation. Are we guilty of confusing love, as in unconditional love, with ‘like’? Because they are different energies even though we have lumped together all aspects and expressions of love into an emotional basket, in order to understand the true energy of love we must separate them.

The love we feel is emotional, the love we are is spiritual.

The need for love from others is really a request for approval. Unconditional love involves acceptance but with emotional love that isn’t enough.

We want to know that others think we are OK, worthy of being in their emotional love sphere, that they think we are good, beautiful, considerate and amazing enough to give us their love.

All we really want, though, is to know that they like us because that is the emotional and material expression of unconditional love.

If we can move beyond our need to be liked, we can explore the possibilities of having unconditional love and then we are in the energy of acceptance, which is completely non-judgment and we are in this sphere because we already are and have all of the love we could even want or need.

Then, rather than approaching others with our hearts in doubt, confusion and fear, we are confident because we know that we are worthy of love and whether or not someone likes us is irrelevant in the face of the love that we already are.


Within Your Own Reality





by Jennifer Hoffman -

Any limitation that you feel blocks your path is an expression of a memory you carry deep within your physical, emotional and energetic bodies of times when your efforts were limited by situations in which your light was rejected.

These are often expressions of your martyr and victim consciousness, when you offered yourselves as a healing light to your soul groups knowing that they were not yet prepared for their transformation.

Your role in the world is to shine your light in all of its expressions. You can do that, no matter what the world does in response. 

The world will eventually turn towards the light when it has experienced enough darkness. When the world can find power in love it will no longer need fear. It must experience both to make that choice. You can be the love the world needs to have as one choice among many.

All Lightworkers have had lifetimes of service in the world, to be forces for change and transformation. The light was always extended even though there were many lifetimes when it was extinguished because the world wasn't ready to release its fear.

Those times you felt betrayed by Source and the belief that you were abandoned and not supported as a source of light and love was created. This belief has reverberated throughout your lifetimes and it is strongly expressed within your soul group.

Through the ego you have translated this role of bringers of the light to mean that you have come to change the world. You have simply come to be a source of light, a connection to the light and love and Source for those who are willing to see and recognize it to acknowledge it and accept it into their own hearts and being.

From these experiences you have pushed yourselves further into dimming your own light, limiting the expression of your gifts and not choosing the path of powerful creation for yourselves.

If the world does not change and accept you and your gifts, you believe that you are not worthy of the joy, love, abundance and success that are your divine birthright.

You martyr yourselves on behalf of the light and yet that is merely an expression of your own fear that by being powerful you are a threat rather than an inspiration.

You can be all you desire and want to have, every dream is possible for you when you shine your light and are willing to accept blessings for yourselves.

The path of the martyr and victim is not the highest expression of your energies and limiting your abundance is not in integrity with your truth. You can be all things within your life as you express who you are to a world that may or may not accept it.

Be your truth, that is all you can do and allow the world to follow its path until it is ready to make its own transformation. You have come to bring the truth of divinity and ascension to the world, express that in your own life and you will be the change the world seeks.

Each of you can change the world when you begin within your own reality and shine your light within you, illuminating your own shadows, releasing your fear, connecting to your inner resources and being the light in your life so you can also en-lighten the world.



Mastering Time



by Jennifer Hoffman -

We fear time and what it can do because we equate time with death, the ultimate end. Our fear is not with time itself but with what time can do. So within everything we do, time becomes the factor we can't control, the ultimate end that will eventually catch up with us.

When we're in a race against time, time usually wins because we see it as something we work against or that works against us. It is responsible for the deadlines we don't meet, the things we don't accomplish, the opportunities that pass us by. But what if time, like many other aspects of our reality, was an illusion that we could master?

What would be possible for us if we were masters of time?

To master time we must be able to view it from the perspective of it working with and for us and one of many aspects of life and the third dimension that we can control because time is just another element of our reality.

Time is an aspect of doing and from this perspective we will never be in control of time because we will never be able to 'do' enough. In today's 24x7 world, we seem to have too much to do and not enough time but how much of what we do is useful, aligned with our intention?

Mastery of time begins when we align time and intention, which also aligns timing and outcome.

Today's world offers a wealth of life options and while many are possible, they are not all useful, effective or efficient uses of our energy. Time aligns with energy movement and the path of mastery asks us to consider all possibilities within the scope of what is aligned with our life purpose and highest good.

What we find is when what we do is aligned with who we are, time moves in an effortless and easy flow towards outcome. Being in the flow happens when we are fully aligned, body, mind, emotions and spirit, with our intention and then we're in control of time.

Time is the movement of energy through density, so the more density we put into a situation, which includes meeting others' needs, expectation or fears about the outcome, the more we expand time and its effects, which also shrinks our options.

Time is a factor if we empower it and it is irrelevant if we don't. 

Although time will occur in our life, how much it matters, what it can affect, and how long it lasts all depend on whether we have learned to master time.

When we are 'being' ourselves, consciously intending our reality into being, focused on and in the present and fully aligned with our being and our truth, we have learned an important key to mastery and the limitations that time creates are no longer part of our reality.

The Choices in the Middle



by Jennifer Hoffman -


There is a purpose in everything, in standing still and in moving forward and there is as much power in a pause as there is in a choice.

The Pause

In fact, sometimes the pause is a very powerful place to be as we allow ourselves the luxury of taking our time to accept or decline an opportunity, as long as we don't take to long.

A short, intentional, conscious and deliberate pause is a powerful statement of our willingness and desire to make the highest and best choice. But when dragged out too long, we get stuck in the pause and then we are in the middle, unsure of which way to go, so we go nowhere.

Choices and choosing are very important points of transformation because each choice creates another step on our life path and every decision to accept or decline creates a new pathway for us.

We can't always maintain a strong forward motion because there are times when we need to assess the results of our choices, take an inventory of what we have created and decide what works and what doesn't. And the only way to do that is to stop moving, stand in the middle and have a look around.

Now being in the middle isn't where we need to criticize and judge ourselves, to look at all of the wrong choices or feel that we are at a dead end.

Take a Breath

It is a chance to be still, to give ourselves time to catch up and take a breath, to view the landscape of our lives from the perspective of accomplishment and celebration. 

We spend so much time doing and thinking and without the balance of being, we can feel like we're always in a hurry to the next destination.

There is no destination other than the one we are standing in and no more important moment than the present one.

The middle is a powerful choice, as long as it doesn't remain our choice for too long. 

There is a fine line between being an observer from this middle point and being stuck there because we can't decide what we need to do next.

When we take a moment to pause we allow what is happening in spirit to trickle down to us at an ego level, to integrate new thoughts and thinking and then allow ourselves to use that as our life path's new starting point.

A Gift of Trust and Faith

Giving ourselves a moment to pause, deliberately and intentionally, so we can consider our next steps is a gift of trust and faith.

Then we allow the stillness to become the fertile ground that produces powerful, life and self affirming, masterful thoughts which allow the next path we choose for our reality to express the highest aspects of our potential.

No Means Yes and Yes Means No?



by Jennifer Hoffman -

While every situation is an opportunity to accept or decline, accept doesn't always mean 'yes' and decline doesn't always mean 'no'. Sometimes we accept something by declining it and what we decline indicates our willingness to accept something else.

How can we know we're making the best and right choice? By understanding what we want as an outcome and keeping our focus on our intention, while remaining open to the 'extra' that the Universe can send our way.

Sometimes our most empowering choices can be those in which we intentionally and consciously decide to say 'no' and by doing this we are actually saying 'yes' to a disempowered part of ourselves that needed to make this choice.

Declining can be a powerful tool that reminds that we do have choices in every situation and our 'no' to something is a 'yes' to ourselves.

Through our ability to see that declining is an option we are actually closing one door and opening another, releasing our fear and stepping into love and all of the power that goes along with being in this energy.

Other times, we can accept something that triggers some of our deepest fears and this choice allows us to finally move beyond them, something we may have been unable to do for many lifetimes.

Can we accept that we deserve success, love and joy? Are we able to accept an opportunity to do something for ourselves that moves us beyond others' needs and expectations? 

This can be an empowering moment in our life and one that we may have taken lifetimes to be able to achieve.

Are we willing to accept love, joy and success, no matter what has happened in the past? Our deepest fears are rooted in the past and by accepting to move into something that scares us, we are saying 'yes' to us and 'no' to the fear.


Our reality is created one choice at a time and when we choose with conscious intention, putting ourselves and our needs first, we affirm our divine birthright of fulfillment in every area of our life and move beyond whatever limitations our fears have imposed on us.

While they can be very powerful, our desire to be happy, to know what life can be like when we live firmly grounded in our power, is even more compelling. And as we choose through our power and our highest good, we affirm that we want the best for ourselves and our life and are willing to allow that to happen.

Yes to This and No to That

Every lesson is part of our journey of spiritual growth and understanding which we select through our choices. Each choice has its own path and outcome and what we 'accept' or 'decline' highlights a single path and its potential outcomes. 

As we 'accept' one lesson we automatically decline others because they are not available to us while we're in this lesson. This is an 'all or nothing' choice too, because we cannot say 'yes' to part of a lesson and 'no' to other parts. But, we can change our mind at any time when we are ready to stop and take another path to our healing.

We may regret the path not taken but all other options are unavailable until we gain the level of spiritual understanding that is necessary to know and connect to something else.

That said, when we are ready for something new all of the paths we have previously declined become available to us at new and higher levels of vibration. What we can choose from, at any moment, though, is what resonates with us. 

One important note here

We have no way of knowing all of the lessons included in what we decline so whatever we are guided to decline may be in our highest good over the long term. That's why regret is not the best use of our energy.

As soon as we understand the lesson and its healing purpose we no longer have to follow that path and are ready to make new choices.

Although we think that we have to see something through to our anticipated or expected outcome, all we have to do is realize that there are other potential choices for our life. 

There is no divinely mandated end to any situation because we have to decide when a lesson is finished. We choose the end, just as we choose the beginning. And when we realize that a lesson is over, it has achieved its purpose in our life.

Each path contains learning that we need to experience or we would not choose that path. 

There are no accidental choices, each thing we are attracted to has an energetic connection with us which corresponds an area of healing.

The stronger the attraction the more important and powerful the lesson and healing.

We accept what our soul needs to heal and decline what we are not yet ready for or what we have not yet learned enough to be able to experience.

Then we repeat that process countless times during the course of our many lifetimes as we continue through the spiral of learning, healing, growth and transformation that is our ascension path.


Whose Truth is True?




by Jennifer Hoffman -

We spend our lives wanting to know the truth because as we are told, 'the truth shall set us free.'

But as we search for the truth we begin to see that there is not a single truth, everyone has a different version of the truth and even in our own lives, that which we think of as true can change many times.

So what is true and what is not true? 

If a truth changes, was it ever true in the first place? Will we ever know the truth? And when we know the truth, what happens to everything else we have known up to that time?

The truth is everything we believe based on all of our knowing and experience up until that moment in time. While we look for the truth as the final answer, it is actually what allows us to ask the next question.

Truth repeats itself, like an endless loop, until we uncover a new truth that allows us to move forward, beyond the former truth.

Each truth leads to another truth and for each of us, that truth is highly personal and so individualized that it can only be true for us. While our truth is true for us, everyone's truth is also true, for them. Can we connect with others from the point of our own truth? We can when our truth has points in common and there is no doubt present.

The truth that we deserve love, for example, is true for us. And we must have an unshakable belief in this truth to attract love. But what happens if we find someone who doesn't believe we are lovable? Is our truth still true? What about their truth? Is it true for us too?

Our truth is not affected when it cannot be validated by someone else, it simply means that it isn't true for them.

They can't validate that we are lovable because they must have a corresponding truth-that they are lovable. If they do not hold that truth, then they cannot validate it for someone else. But we take this as a sign that our truth is not true and use it to judge ourselves, our truths, our being and our life.

Whoever we ask to validate our truth must have a corresponding truth. If not, they cannot validate ours. So the person who cannot accept you as lovable has issues with accepting themselves as lovable.

When we want others to validate our truth we are taking truth down a path that it wasn't meant to follow.

Because when we ask others to establish what is true for us, we are speaking from our doubt instead of faith in our own truth.

If we can't convince ourselves of our truth, we won't find anyone to do the job for us. What do you believe is true about you? Can you hold that truth no matter how others respond or react?

Are you able to create from your truth in this moment and know that once you have made this true, you are ready for the next step on your life?

Find your truth about yourself, engrave it permanently on your heart and within your being so you hold fast to your truth and use it to manifest your life in the way you want to live it.


The Journey of Clarity


Photobucket

by Jennifer Hoffman -

Most of us would define ourselves as mature adults, usually in control of our emotions.

Then something happens and we surprise ourselves at how quickly and thoroughly we can fall apart, our emotions scrambled, feeling so out of control that we wonder whether we will ever be normal again.

How did we go from feeling mature and in control to immature and out of control?

The answer lies in whether we are spiritually or emotionally mature and how we ground that energy in our life.

Many clients ask me why their lessons are so challenging.

My response is that it appears that way because the most challenging lessons always involve something that really matters to us.

We notice the issues that put us face to face with every fear, doubt, insecurity and emotion that we have kept hidden.

Why can’t we be mature, calm and objective in these situations?

We can if we are acting from our spiritual maturity instead of trying to control our emotions and justify our experiences through them.

Without the knowledge, confidence and support that we get from spirit we rely on our ego’s maturity level to get us through whatever we are facing. And its maturity level is at the first trauma we experienced in our life, plus all of the emotional baggage we carry.

Since every issue we face is an opportunity to heal our emotional wounds and to bring us into spiritual maturity, no wonder we get stuck, overwhelmed and feel out of control.

We’re looking at the problem from its ego perspective instead of moving into a higher one.

The clarity we seek and maturity we need come from spirit, not from the ego.

Clarity takes on a whole new meaning with spiritual maturity because we are not looking for validation or confirmation of our worthiness, our intention is on healing and we are open to the truth in whatever way it is presented to us.

With spiritual maturity we can ask ‘what is next’ instead of the ‘why is this happening to me’ and use the answers we receive to complete that level of growth and healing.

With clarity we have the truth we need, although not necessarily the answers the ego wants.

With truth and clarity we can complete our lessons and move into more joyful, peaceful, loving, mature and controlled living.

Forgive Generously  

Giving forgiveness to others is what allows you to release them and you from your souls’ shared karmic journey.

This is more than an optional step on your journey, it is required for you to move from karma to creation, from the path of destiny into your role of co-creator with the Universe.

Without forgiveness you are blocked from receiving the fullness of the divine guidance, blessings, support and grace that allow for joyful, effortless living.

That is why you should apply forgiveness generously, fully and completely to everyone.

So often that which you must forgive has been the source of great pain, coming from those who have wounded you to the depths of your soul.

  • You struggle with what they have done, try to understand their reasons and motivations, and wonder why they can be so cruel. 
  • You question whether you can forgive them and their actions as you feel this is a form of approval or acceptance. 
  • You think this way because you have a limited awareness of your journey with them.

You are asked to forgive so that you can end karma and what you know of others through your pain is where you are the receiver.

In other lifetimes you have been the one who caused pain, consciously or unconsciously, and what you are receiving is the other side of this cycle. The cycle repeats because everyone is reliving what has been done, again and again, over the course of lifetimes.

It is not possible to undo what has already been don, but you can stop these cycles from repeating, which is held in your choice to forgive.

When you forgive you are only focused on ending the karmic cycle. Nothing else is part of that decision.

The choice is not whether you can forgive others or whether they have done the unforgivable but whether you want to end your karma with them, to be free of these cycles and the patterns they create in your life.

This is a choice you make for yourself, so you can be free of these energies. 

You do not make this choice on behalf of anyone else. So forgive generously, fully and completely; give the gift of forgiveness to everyone in your life and free yourself of the connections that have defined your life until this moment so that new paths, possibilities and potentials open for you.

Staying Centered, Focused and Grounded



by Jennifer Hoffman -

We are alternating between periods of breakneck speed transformation and achingly slow gaps of stillness, moving between trying to keep up with the changes that are being thrust on us to being stopped in our tracks.

In the fast periods we focus on movement and doing what we need to in order to stay focused and grounded.

In the slow periods we are challenged to also stay grounded and address whatever is presented to us until the next period of movement.


We want the movement because that proves we are making progress and yet it is the slow periods in which we make our strongest advances.

It is the difference between traveling on a fast-moving train, where the countryside zips by and walking, where we see every landmark in detail. But we would rather skip the details because they represent more work, clearing, healing, release and choices.

Why can't we just be done with it?

Haven't we done enough work already?

What we do not see is the debris that the transformation has kicked up, which is waiting for us to take action, to look at what has been dredged up in our lives and to work on it. 



So it's what we do in these slow times that is important. 

What is calling to us that we are avoiding?

Where is our resistance in the process?

No one wants to cover ground they have been over again and again but there are no shortcuts and as we move farther into ascension we often have to go backwards with a new perspective and take another look at ourselves, do more release work as we uncover deeper wounds, greater fears and more stuck places.

In the movie 'Eat, Pray, Love' there is a scene where Elizabeth cannot sleep as she realizes her marriage is over and she desperately cries out to God to tell her what to do. She begs and pleads, apologizes for not listening, promises to do better and waits for her answer. After a while she hears a small voice say "Go back to bed Elizabeth."

This is what we are hearing now, as we plead for mercy, "look within, release yourself, create new perspectives, find your power". Not what we want to hear when we're drowning in our misery.

We have thrown down the misery gauntlet and then look to God and say "See, here I am in my misery. Am I miserable enough yet? Are you going to help me now?" And we get nothing in reply. Because it's not about being miserable enough, it's about finding joy.

What is blocking us from being joy-ful in each moment? 

We're not going to find it in the hoped-for rescue. The cavalry is not around the next corner and Prince Charming is on an extended holiday. We're going to find it right where we are. The question we need to ask ourselves is "What are we doing about it?"

I have a big pot of mint on my deck and every day I admire it as I carefully cut off a few sprigs for tea and marvel at how lush and beautiful it is this summer. Then two days ago I was looking at my mint and it looked bare. Something had eaten three-fourths of it.

What was once a big, lush plant is now a lot of ugly stalks. I didn't see what ate it, I suspect it was a caterpillar or grasshopper. And it happened overnight. I had been so careful to cut the mint evenly and something just chewed right through it. I was so upset!

I was so focused on the plant and how well it is growing that I forgot about the other creatures that enjoy my plants too. So what am I going to do? Am I going to look at my mint plant every day and be mad at whatever ate it or enjoy what is still available to me while the plant fills out again?

Our keyword is to have patience but not to wait. 

Within our patience we can take action, stay focused, be mindful of this process and make room for joy.

What can we do, every day, to stay within our power?

What can we do to be happy, no matter how miserable we feel?

God won't take us out of our misery, that's our job. But we will have doors open when we seek joy.

I have decided to take ballet, in fulfillment of a childhood dream. It's a small thing but it is something I can do now (and it's good exercise).

I challenge you to find something that brings you joy as you wait for the movement to begin again and to rescue yourself out of your misery. 

What you will find as soon as you seek joy you will stop wondering when it will all end and enjoy the journey, and the movement will begin as soon as you stop worrying about it.

Accept all gifts of understanding with gratitude and use them to apply forgiveness, release and healing to every situation. 

Ask for guidance and confirmation and then wait for it to come to you. 

Above all, be grateful for this opportunity to be part of humanity's amazing shift in consciousness. Many blessings in these miraculous and amazing times.


Facing Your Truth




by Jennifer Hoffman
-

As your awareness of yourselves as spiritual beings grows, you see the human side in a different way and your awareness of your truth is expanded.

This can often include the things you do not like about yourselves because you now see the areas where you lacked faith or did not use your power.

Sometimes resolving your humanity in the face of your spirituality can seem like an impossible challenge. How can you change what you don't like and become more of what you want when there seems to be so much of what you don't like?

How do you face your own truth and use that information to your benefit?


The truth you see may be a lack of love, abundance, great fear or confusion. It may be a lifetime of powerless choices, a lack of joy and harmony or of not receiving what you want or need from others. You may see where you made the same choice again and again, despite your spiritual knowledge and understanding. You may see the difficulties you experienced and how you created them. 

The truth that Creator sees is your perfection, the choices you made on a soul level to learn lessons of compassion, power and unconditional love for yourselves and for others.


The truth is revealed to you when you are ready to see and transform it. 

It comes to you as a reminder of where you were not standing in your power, were in fear or doubt or forgot your own divinity. It is not there to remind you of your imperfections, although that is what you might see. 

This is where you can find the perfection in the perceived imperfections, the rose among what may appear to be a pile of thorns.

It is a very powerful realization that can free you from lifetimes of experiences in which you wanted to learn the lesson of truth. When you can see the truth you are ready for the awareness of your power. 

The truth of your past is not the truth of your present moment. The truth is revealed when you are ready to resolve your lessons and create new realities.


When the truth is revealed be gentle with yourselves. 

It is not your conscious choice to be powerless; it is your lesson to accept your power. It is not your conscious choice to be in fear; it is your lesson to reconnect to Source and unconditional love. That is the Truth of who you are and when you see it you are ready for the knowledge that truth brings. 

This is the moment that sets you free from the past, from fear, from doubt and into the peace that passes all understanding. 

The truth is there for you to see and to acknowledge so you can learn from it. 

Then you are able to use your power in a new way to create a new reality. This how the truth sets you free and when you do this for yourselves you create a vibration of truth for all of humanity to experience and learn from!
