What’s A Lightworker to Do?

dana2 by Dana Taylor

Watching news and social media, it would appear that utter chaos reigns. What’s really going on? In seeking perspective, I’ve found wisdom in the messages of Kryon, channeled through Lee Carroll. For almost 30 years Kryon, a non-physical teacher, has been offering insights and new paradigms for an evolving human race. According to Kryon and many others in the esoteric world, we are living through a time of historic transition from one epoch to another. In 2012 the earth crossed into a new quadrant in the Milky Way. We are literally in new territory in the Universe. Old ways are passing. But, change is painful. Old thinking dies hard.

His last messages of 2015 revealed probable trends for 2016. He foretold that it would be a year of disclosures, and many of them would not be pleasant. He encouraged his listeners  not to dwell in frustration. Kryon warned that many “cans of worms” would be opened in 2016. Indeed, the worms are crawling everywhere. It’s been a year of full disclosure of collective fears, translated into bigotry and hatred.

So, what’s a Lightworker to do? According to Kryon, we need to realize that change is painfully slow. We are at the very beginning of a new cosmic age. It will take years to transition to higher consciousness on a global level. He says in 300 years we will look back and call these the Barbaric Years.

hold-the-space-shine-the-light-raise-the-global-vibration-ever-closer-to-the-frequency-of-our-loving-creator-thats-why-we-are-on-the-planetBut those of us who volunteered to be here now have work to do. We are the Lightworkers. Sometimes it all feels futile and pointless, but we can’t see the big picture. Here is an admonition from Kryon:

Some of you say to Spirit, “Oh, please remove me from this place. It’s not commensurate with the magnificence of God, and I’m not accomplishing anything here. People don’t understand me here. It’s not for me. Get me out!” Do you want to know how light-energy is created? Do you want to know how energy goes into the grid and into the earth? It happens when you go to those places you don’t want to go to and spread your light! You may be the only one there who knows about the light!

Let me remind you how you change lives, for you do not impose your energy upon the other person. You never have to communicate it verbally. You can just go and “be the light,” and in the process of going to a place where you think you don’t belong, you’re right where you asked to be when you gave permission for God to place you in your sweet spot! You’re right there helping other Humans. Oh, you may say you’re not and they don’t even really know you at all, but we must remind you that in those dark places, you may be the ONLY light!

We must remind you again of this phenomenon that we’ve talked about over and over, but maybe you didn’t understand. It’s about the energy created when you fill a room with light. It lets the others around you see their choices more clearly. You never have to verbally communicate with them. They may never know your name, and you may come and go many, many times. Your presence actually might enhance their paths – not in an evangelistic way, but in a way that allows them to see things they may not have seen before in the dark. They may make better choices for themselves due to what you brought. And while you’re creating that solution, you’re praying to be released from that place. [Laughter.] Do you really mean it? That’s what a lightworker does. And so we say to you, if this is your plight, we’ve heard your prayer. We ask you to celebrate where you’re going every day. There will come a time when you’re finished spreading light there, and you’ll move on to a more appropriate place, but while you’re there, do the work and enjoy the journey.

~ Kryon 2009

There’s going to be a lot of push/pull. Old institutions that aren’t working anymore will crumble. Governments may be reorganized in entirely new ways. The power reign of Northern Hemisphere may wane. It’s all part of an unstoppable evolutionary shift.

Those of us who understand manifestation and the power of attraction need to concentrate on what is the best and highest in our personal lives. Then take it to the next level and create a better world first through our visions and then by our actions.

That’s our assignment. Hold the space, shine the light, raise the global vibration ever closer to the frequency of our Loving Creator. That’s why we are on the planet.

Shining the Light,

Did He Have An Invisible Passenger?

My book, Supernal Adventures, explores the “new normal” of multidimensional living. This post is about a “normal” man who had a most startling “new normal” experience.

golfer_swing“Bob” (name changed) is a mainstream, semi-retired business man. A very “normal” guy. He plays golf, enjoys the culture of the American South, has good buddies. His wife, Kate, is a writer and became a cyber friend of mine over ten years ago. About two years ago, she contacted me after being told by a psychic that she is an empath and possibly a healer. She reached out to me for information about things like Reiki and metaphysics. As our relationship grew, we Skyped and I eventually gave her a first level Reiki attunement. She began practicing on Bob, a willing participant. Many of his ailments improved. As it turned out, Bob is sensitive to the healing energies and even receives mental images himself. But, Bob is far from embracing the New Age or embarking on a spiritual quest. And yet, Kate appears to have opened a door for Bob….

I received an e-mail from Kate this week entitled:

Bob’s Metaphysical Experience

580ps-audi-rs-6-car-dashboardBob was on his way to Morrow, GA yesterday to see a customer when this happened: Questions he was asked are italicized.

Bob ~ Leaving garage, I backed out and set destination on GPS. Got on I-20 and it started getting cold. Temperature kept dropping and I didn’t think anything about it until it was so cold I was uncomfortable and thought something was broken. I started fiddling with heat controls and noticed it was set on auto at 72. Temperature felt like it was sub-60. What’s wrong? Everything seemed to be in place with system. Thought I’d lost the thermostat. I shut off air just to make it bearable and opened driver’s side window to warm up. That helped a little until I closed it and it was just as cold inside.

Driving and thinking, “What’s going on?” The radio was on but NO SOUND! Then, strange questions starting coming into my mind.

What is this TV screen? It’s a navigation screen.

What is it? Navigation system. What do you mean? GPS.

(Bob, that’s stupid. You know what it is!)

What is GPS? Global Positioning Satellite.

What’s it do? I’m going to my customer and it’s showing me how to get there.(Lull)

Do you mean it knows where you’re at? Yeah, it’s like radar. It knows where I am (this is crazy!) That’s that little arrow on the screen. (This is crazy!) We’re the arrow and we’re going to that black flag. That means it’s our destination.

GPS then says, “Traffic Congestion in 15 miles.” You mean it can tell traffic? It’s telling me there’s a traffic jam. (Why am I expounding on something I already know?) Then it was pretty quiet.

Brief case was still on the passenger seat. Nothing was physically different but it stayed cold. Air was very, very cold.

We get to traffic jam. GPS says, “Take next exit to avoid traffic.” Yeah, you’re going to avoid the traffic, right? The line then turns different on the GPS screen. The line’s different? Yeah, that’s the detour.

Since I was running late because of the detour, I needed to call the customer. I told Blue Tooth to “call Phil on his mobile.” Phil answers and we have our conversation and I hang up.

Was that a telephone call? Yeah, I called him on his cell. Cell? Yeah, cellular mobile phone.  

Drive to location and GPS says, “You’ve reached your destination and navigation system is turning off.”

We’re here? Yes, we’re here.

Car still cool, then temperature quickly rises, and the car gets stuffy. I open windows to get some air.

After leaving my appointment, I decided I didn’t want to come back on the Interstate. Set guidance and wasn’t told where to turn. I heard no guidance. I turned right and it took me back and in and around. I turned right, again. Now I don’t know which cross intersection to turn at. I go into settings and open voice prompt. The volume was off. Two lines navigation prompt and radio volume and voice prompt were off.  I punched up voice volume and radio. Voice prompt volume was off and I never touched the controls to turn it off.  I had to figure out how to turn it back on since I’d never seen this screen before.

Kate ~ When he left, I had asked his guardian angels to be with him on this journey and to watch over him. He called me after he got there to tell me about his experience. He was so shaken, he wasn’t sure whether he’d be able to make sense to his customer. I suggested he ground himself. So he got out of the car and walked over to some trees, took a couple of deep breaths and imagined his feet going deep into the ground. Since he was visible through the company windows, he pretended he was talking on his cell so they wouldn’t think he was nuts! Ha!

Since I had the experience with the medium a couple of months ago when his dad came through, he believes the spirit with him was his dad. Bob has often thought when he was in the car, “Dad would be amazed at all this technology.” The “conversations” went on for almost an hour!

Btw, the temperature yesterday was in the high 70’s!

energyDana ~ Congratulations, Bob, you’ve had an awesome Supernal Adventure! This is just one more incident of living in the post-Shift era. My interpretation of Bob’s experience comes from the teachings of Gregg Braden, Kryon/Lee Caroll and others. Planet earth is a new cosmic quadrant in the milky way. It’s a gradual turn–a 25,000 year era–and we are at the very beginning. The frequencies and magnetic fields are all changing. Communication through the “veil” is becoming easier. Loved ones who have passed on are keeping in touch and making their presence known. It appears their ability to influence our technology is getting easier for them. Or perhaps our technology is getting more sensitive to them–thus the malfunctioning of Bob’s GPS system and radio.

These experiences are becoming more common and we’ll have to learn how to evaluate them. The first reaction is generally, like Bob, “this is crazy!” As a society, we’re going to have to get beyond “this is crazy,” study these emerging realities and incorporate them into our world view.

Welcome to the New Normal.

You Might Be Weird If You….

 

In 2012, Jacob Nordby spun out a poem that began:

Blessed are the Weird People–

poets, misfits, writers, mystics,

heretics, painters & troubadours–

for they teach us to see through different eyes…

debut-releaseThe poem became a clarion call for creative types who never felt they fit into “normal” society. Inspired by enthusiastic response to his message, Nordby formed his Blessed Weirdian Tribe and the website www.BlessedAreTheWeird.com. Now comes the book, Blessed are the Weird: A Manifesto for Creatives.

The book isn’t so much weird, as it is passionate, inspiring, occasionally profane, and definitely erudite. Jacob Nordby knows what it’s like to break the boundaries of a strict cultural structure. Raised in a cult-like Christian fundamental upbringing, he broke free to explore the inner regions of his creativity. 

The first half of the book gives those poets, misfits, writers, etc. their own chapters. Nordby’s sharp and educated mind shines through as he quotes brilliant weird people of the past and gives us insights into their creative souls. The second half goes into the qualities of creativity itself and proclaims liberation from the constrictions of conformity.

The message of creative liberation resonated in my weird soul. As I read along, I often thought–yes, that’s me!

Jacob Nordby’s book encourages creative types to break the molds, blast the icons, and tear apart societal norms. It’s a joyful, passionate plea for soul liberation. Read the book and join the tribe.

It’s great being a Blessed Weirdian.

Confessions of a Medical Intuitive

by Dana Taylor

My first medical intuitive experience was around 1983. Drawn to the subject of healing, I’d joined a church that organized prayer teams for healing services. One evening before a service, my two prayer partners and I met to pray before the service began. As we stood with eyes closed and arms linked, a picture formed in my mind’s eye of three blood-filled, round lumps on someone’s back. I described what I saw, thinking perhaps someone we would be praying for later would have such a condition. My prayer partner, Jeanie, said, “I think that might be me.”

She turned around and allowed me to feel her back. Sure enough, three lumps lay along the spine. Wow, that was surprising. Even more astonishing was they disappeared after my other partner and I laid hands on and prayed over them.

energyOver the course of the next few years, I received a variety of such mental pictures–bones, veins, tumors, organs, fluids–often in color. In some cases, physical symptoms also mirrored in my body. They generally weren’t pleasant either–chest pains, leg aches, sadness, fear. In the depths of prayer, I often made statements that seemed to come from another source. Later, I barely remembered the messages.

Working in the church setting only took me so far. There weren’t many good explanations of what was going on, except “the power of the Holy Spirit.” I needed more answers than that, which led to metaphysics, Reiki, The Reconnection, Quantum Healing and a myriad of emerging modalities in energy healing.

Of course, the more I learned, the more I realized how little we know. But, I do understand that our existence is far more complicated than the physical eyes can see. Humans and all creatures are energetic beings. Machines can now take pictures of our energy bodies. The most well known device is the MRI machine. MRI is short for “Magnetic Resonance Imaging,” which maps the energy emitted in the human body at the atomic level.

Energy healers become human instruments for sensing and transmitting universal healing energy. Through training  and practice, I’ve learned how to open myself to unseen, but very real, frequencies in the auric field and beyond. The top of my head detects a physical opening–like a balloon expanding under my skull. I suspect the pineal gland actually swells.

Woman at reiki session. As my client lies on a massage table, I run my hands a few inches above the body, sensing the energy flow. When I reach a stressed area, I feel a buzzing in the palms of my hands. For example, once a new client came in and I purposely did not ask why she had come. I felt it was a “purer” first session, if I didn’t have preconceived ideas of what might be going on. In her case, my first scan soon focused on the neck and shoulders. They were nearly “screaming” into my hands. As I hovered over the area, a picture formed in my mind’s eye of the crooked alignment of her neck. The shoulder muscles were also pulled and distorted. I then switched gears and flowed healing energy through me and into the region. I later recommended she find a good massage therapist who could physically work the area. She was impressed with the session because her reason for seeing me was the aftermath of a car accident and the residual neck and shoulder pain.

The reason I’m writing this post is not to brag about what a great medical intuitive I am. The truth is I’m not all that great. I’ve now met amazing healers who are far more advanced than I. Rather, I want to encourage others to tap into the information and healing energy that is available to everyone. For millions of years electricity was everywhere, but it’s only been since the turn of the 20th century that Tesla and Edison figured out how to harness it. Now everyone in the civilized world can turn on the lights. Healing energy is basically the same.

As humans explore their multi-dimensional capabilities, they will learn how to tap into the vast resources of information and energy swirling around them every day. Learning ancient traditions like Tai Chi, yoga, and Qi Gong are good ways to discover flowing cosmic energy. In my case, serious study of healing prayer in Christian traditions led the way.

The first step to connecting with the Creative Source is simply the desire to do so. There are many avenues to try. Meditation, prayer, listening to music, communing in nature. Read some books on energy healing. As the saying goes, “Seek and ye shall find. Knock and the door will be opened.”

Then, lay hands on yourself, pets, or family members, seeking help and information and see what happens. Picture healing energy flowing from the cosmos through your head and down your arms. You may discover your medical intuitive gifts. They are a beautiful package waiting to be opened. Untie the bows and give them a try.

Bright blessings ~

Physics of the Soul: The Quantum Book of Living, Dying, Reincarnation, and Immortality by Amit Goswami, PhD

physics

So judging from the title you know this is going to be a tough book. Intriguing- yes, but not a walk in the park. Amit Goswami is a theoretical quantum physicist and in the book he attempts to reconcile the science and metaphysics of reincarnation and immortality. Essentially he outlines a science for reincarnation and some kinds of paranormal phenomena. The structure of the book follows the ponderings of a scientist as he develops his theory. Although this is personal, I often lost track of the details as he set forth on one track only to reverse himself later. As a reader (without a PhD in physics), I’d rather have the bare bones of the theory without the intricacies of why he went one direction or another. No one should attempt this book…
