JIE Episode 47 Experiencing Energy

 

Journeys Into Enlightenment with Janet

 Podcast Releasing Tuesday October 20, 2020 

Episode 47 Blog Experiencing Energy

One of the most delightful experiences of body/form is to experience one’s senses, to feel, hear, see, touch, smell and to “know” things. The fun comes in when you can feel, hear, see, touch, smell, and “know” things that have some sort of an energy signature of awareness and not so much necessarily solid in form, like ghosts or angels or fairies and nature devas.  

Maybe you are like me and have been aware of different energies since an early age. My friends and I can see much with our inner eye, dead people for instance. Or maybe you have a history of feeling energies that were identifiable in some way, but you could not see them. You could feel them either or both physically and emotionally. I have symbols that show up in different ways to my inner eye. You might have a sense of Déjà vu often, or knowing before the phone rings, that sort of thing. It is entertaining in my realm and something one can look forward to. 

All of it at times was thrilling, or maybe alarming depending on who I was at the time and the situation. It was just a thing that was part of me, usually unexpected but I was open to it all. I have had many different experiences over the years, including channeling to running healing energy through my hands. My experiences were most often in a reality of being helpful, user friendly and not about the battle of good/evil that it can be for many. I was not alarmed and judging what I was witnessing as bad. There was no horror or fear, only Grace at times and neutral the rest. But dealing with people’s projections takes stamina and centeredness and neutral terrain within.

Of course, when I was young, I was not always clear or understanding about boundaries and how energy works. I got into metaphysical studies in my early 20’s when I realized it was a part of my life. I wondered how someone could feel” bad” or unsettling in some way to me and I felt “bad”. I have felt attacked and then at times used. And, along the way I was perhaps clumsy with others in their feelings I am sure.

We are all sensory creatures with bandwidths of sensation that extend beyond our human limits into our metaphysical range. BEing energetically sensitive is easier when you learn one’s own nature and develop energy hygiene. When you are wanting to help another, understanding energy and potential dynamics is essential to successful work. There needs to be respect for how you are both organized within. You can realize that energy can take any form and like a blade be two sided, and due to the bias of observation, positive or negative. When in itself it is neither, just a manifestation of projection.

We all experience energy differently and unique to the individual so there are guidelines to consider and frameworks to embody that make life as an energetic being delightful and rewarding. All too often people can feel overwhelmed or done in by the energies around and in them. And most of the time people are not in conscious awareness of the energies around them that are affecting in some way, positive and negative unless it is brought to their attention.  

All information, life, stuff, fits within the core of Consciousness so it can be interacted with. It doesn’t matter if it is in the past, the future, the cosmos, your neighbor. Energetic dynamics abound. It just depends on your internal settings of sensitivity, tolerance, and story line which determine your reality settings and what you consider real and not real, possible, not possible.

Everything is vibrational and informational in nature when it is reduced to its essence. Energy is vibrational and can clean, clear, protect, heal, destroy. It provides us with intuition of the present and organizational in terms of time as past lives and the precognitive of the seer of future events. It connects us with other energetic awareness of forms corporeal and incorporeal such as angels and other life forms. It resonates with all elements of living matter such as crystals and plants and animal life and our space around us as in feng shui and the senses that track surroundings.  Everything living is registering information and is connected.  

Energy is found in the known and unknown, the manifested and unmanifested, our notions of what are real and not real. Energy does not care what you think, it only reacts and responds and forms and develops into patterns of vibrations that we sense and interpret and experience as the habituated thought and behavior. Again, and again, time after time. Unless, some thing happens in our rule set to instigate change, shift, in the moment.

For me, when I work with clients or students it is about appreciating their references and how they are helpful or not to them, not to me. That is what being energetically clear, neutral, to me is about. I have no agenda to push, just clarity for the often-felt confusion that is present which is what our issues most often are, confusion between mind and heart usually.

I am an empath, an energy empath. I feel energy in people, places, things, words, etc. in my body. We all do in some way, to some degree. It defines me. These days I look to benefit from all my trainings, experiences and awareness to “feel things from within my field” and not so much in my body or in attached manner. I realize that long ago I made the choice to embody this time, in this way to explore Life within the body/form and to explore BEing. It has taken me many places.

We all have our answers inside of us and where we have a sense of out there, somewhere, sometimes so buried, so wrapped up in a sense of lost that it is helpful to have another find the link. We share in this, this wonderful sense and experience we call BEing.

It is quite a journey of enlightenment that we are sharing.

JIE Ep 18 Blog/


I am using a blog posting from my friend Selina Maitreya. She is my upcoming guest on my podcast Journeys Into Enlightenment with Janet releasing tomorrow Tuesday Sept 10th. 
We are going to be talking about her awareness Practical Spirituality. These are certainly not two words one hears put together often. 
She sent me this before we recorded and it was delightful to read what I know to be true in her words. She lives her daily life as her spiritual practice as all my guests and I do. 
Love, Janet 


"Many of my Facebook friends comment on my continued positive response to the difficulties that I encounter in my life.
The people that have known me a long time and know me well, remark on how I’ve changed over the years and continue to stay in a peaceful state regardless of the many challenges I face.
People ask me all the time how can you continue to see the best in others when the world is falling apart?
The reason I continue to see the positive aspects in life is because I choose to. We live in a world of polarity and for every piece of goodness we experience, there is difficulty we could have chosen.
For every bit of chaos that lands in our local or global world, we can still choose to focus our attention on the goodness that exists.
We are our attention and what we put our attention on grows.
It’s important to see what is around us, it’s critical for us to see the full picture of our life but what we choose to put our attention on in response to what we see, is the key to having a peaceful life instead of one of misery.
Read that again please. Read it over and over if you need to. For our next moment comes from our response to chaos, not from the chaos that landed. That's why I make a point of responding from a high frequency.

That my friends is the secret to a peaceful life.
How do I know that?

I know this from experience. This is how I live. This is what I teach. I have had the opportunity to witness the amazing changes my students have accomplished as we've worked together and they have learned how to create a new lifestyle, one where love, kindness and appreciation are full frontal.
I choose to put my attention on gratitude. I choose to appreciate the good that surrounds me. Everybody has goodness in their life. The wonderful aspects of your life never leave when irritation arises you simply choose to allow them to recede into the background when trouble shows up.
I challenge you the next time you’re irritated, a piece of difficulty lands or you’re handling a great tragedy to find the areas of your life that you are still grateful for and focus on them with deep intention.
This is how we heal, this is how we grow, this is how we move more quickly and easily and peacefully through our difficult times. Bring more light into your world when darkness prevails by making the choice to do so.
"Choice, it’s yours, choose wisely!"

Consciousness and the intersections of Consciousness and Self

Last week I released my first episode of Journeys Into Enlightenment with Janet. The focus of my podcast will be about the intersections of Consciousness and Self. Each episode released every two weeks will usually feature a friend who will join me in Heart Centered Awareness, the Field of Unified Consciousness and share about the myriad and different aspects of Being.

Like with my show "Conscious Conversations with Joan and Janet" my intention is to create in this space a container for others to indulge in. What you found in CCwJJ and will find again here with me is Heart Centered Awareness. There is lots of of great work out on the airwaves. What we looked to do different was sit within the reality of Consciousness as a real state as Joan and I explored Being and relating to topical concerns. We are the only radio show to offer that.

Every guest who joined us on the air felt it. It is the reality of being present, where change can happen in a moment that can last a lifetime. By just listening and allowing yourself to be in that reality state with us your connection to yourself as essence can make differences in your every day life.

Consciousness technologies allow us to feel different in the moment for time and space are malleable. When you listened into the show, if you knew what you were feeling, you felt the shift from Self to Consciousness. It is at our core. It is our essence. If you were new to the state you felt it and just didn't maybe know what you were feeling. And, no matter what you called it, God, Source, Universe, Cabbage it was real. In the spectrum of awareness in Being we are all at different places and sensory input so there is always variance in sensations between all of us.

Consciousness is at the core of All. Every rock, wave, finger, bush, gas, you name it. It is the core of human reality here on planet Earth and in the cosmos. We are all one. As humans experiencing life we feel, resonate in certain ranges of vibrations that are perhaps different levels of awareness from other matter, other essences, other energies. But all, fall within the core of Consciousness.

I look to celebrate all of this in my new podcast. Once again each episode will start with accessing HCA and what comes out of this space with my friend of the episode. And this time the focus will be perhaps more on the timeless quality of Being and not so much on the chaotic nature that Self can entertain. We will pull from our different histories, references, trainings, skill sets, and different wisdom of the past and appreciate it all in the present.

Our Journeys Into Enlightenment with Janet podcast page will reflect the topic and conversation. Included will be my friend's bio, picture and their contacts. You will find the featured word highlights along with a special blog written for the topic. As part of the episode there will be a featured meditation from my husband Tom Barrett's extensive Interlude:An Internet Retreat meditation archive. There will be a few Consciousness Cookies, bits of wisdom from the ages and now. With place for any additional works of art as poems or books are mentioned in our conversation.

At one time in the world's civilization all roads led to Rome. It was considered the center of the Roman Empire. In this time there are more than one path to Consciousness. It us individually on our Journey of Enlightenment.

So whether you catch Journeys Into Enlightenment with Janet on my website or at the CTR Network 
or my Youtube channel Journeys Into Enlightenment with Janet Barrett  I know you will enjoy where your journey meets mine. I look forward to meeting you there.

Consciousness and the Gifts of the Healer

As Consciousness, we are whole and health is one viewing lense. Health is a human reference to the status of how the body system and other systems are doing. We speak to the health of a body, mind, spirit and also of a situation, or a company for instance.

We, as humans who forget ourselves as Consciousness, tend to then forget that we are the ones creating dis-ease in our humanity patterns. And we need not judge that. It is the way we explore being.

The wounded healer is a mindset, a way to reference our being present. This is a term we use for the healer in each of us who has his own stuff to deal with and not just physical. Any system can have disquiet in the patterns that make up the system. The Human state is a multi-dimensional collection of systems.

We use the term healing when we are describing our body systems but it really is the energy of creating, reconciling, repairing, and maintaining any pattern of organization or system of thoughts that manifest some thing and that might only be a thought. We are not only creator but system managers as doctor, therapist, janitor, plumber or electrician etc. They can correct flows in the system that are not bringing the maximum results wanted, addressing the out of alignment energies present.

Many don't like the idea of being sick and needing healing. They don't want to feel dependant or less than even when it is obvious a system is out of alignment. That is something to be aware of if we use this language.

Many think in terms of physical only when we are referencing the word health when we are really addressing much more. Using the label puts a certain context into play that can limit. If we are not talking about in terms of health we can free ourselves to just look at the energy and dynamics present in our houses, companies, governments, our minds. All systems can get out of wack in many different ways.

Whenever we work with others who help us to heal we are activating our own awareness to be different from how we find ourselves.  But for many this sense is not operating as it can. We have conditionalized how well we allow our own ease of new information to flow. So we see someone who can help and they do. Or maybe don't.  Depends on how we have it set up. But they become our agent for new states of flow whether consultant troubleshooter or medical personnel.

It can seem we, as the help, did something and we did but it was in agreement with them on some level for change, positive or otherwise. No matter what actions we take as healer it is their choice what to do with that information, that procedure, that diagnosis. Physical interaction is needed sometimes. Faith, wishing or resignation in thinking are not always the only action to limit ourselves to.

I have worked with clients who have said they wanted healing but it wasn't that they wanted longer life, they just wanted to heal the past so they could go with a clear heart. Their illness gave them a focus. They just were not sure of this themselves. Then I have others who had choices to make about where they found themselves and what to do to unfold it and it does.

 It can also recreate itself if what is truly at issue or the mindset wants to continue on. In terms of the body we see it all the time when someone has a procedure and it works and then fails. Or maybe a disease clears and then the person dies in a collision or gains another disease.

It is up to the individual and how they have organized themselves as being, not us on the outside. We each choose on this level what our life and our sense of wholeness will appear as. There are no victims, just creative dynamics at play.

Often in medical fields we witness the unexplainable or the expected or spontaneous shift in a body system that were outside the boundaries of our limits of what was possible for you. This limited thinking has the ability to marginalize us in our innate talents and states of being.

We all know people who use illness for attention or a reason for self care. It is a tool as anything can be for development of experience. It is our journey of enlightenment. We don't need to offer apology for whom we are or how we show up. Judgment does not serve us here.

We help each other in different ways and modalities to remind ourselves of our innate abilities. Sometimes it is nice to allow others to help us handle our systems. How appealing that is when one is confused, tired, troubled. Or in pain of any sort.

Help is good. Perhaps one doesn't hold enough information to engage change on their own. Others will often provide a needed kickstart or realignment or new memories.  It is perhaps more entertaining at some level to be healed by someone else. We don't personally have to have or know any answers. As Consciousness that help and information are available in the form of others. I can then focus on what I want to or have a partner on my journey.

Healing is really about self awareness.. Love, Grace and Heart Centered Awareness filled with potential. They are no guarantee about the length of life as that is not important though we may equate that with a good life and it is not. It is the quality of the life, in the day to day moments where we excel. These two states and the Field of the Heart hold for much about the direction and flow of being in the individual.

In offering Grace and Love we hold each other. Warmth, support, non judgement, wonder and potential. These are the gifts of the Healer. Start with Self.

Consciousness and the Fog

Fog has been in the air this last week or so around here. It does wonderful things to the light and perception. In the narrow confines of my mind it brings a different sense of where I am. I am on my journey and it keeps me focused close, not too far outward.

The details will loom large. Color will stand out against the grey tones. The colors of fall delight the eye amidst all the green. The light is absorbed as it touches on surfaces not usually seen without contrast. It can make the world small and immediately take away what is beyond. There is only a few feet of perspective.

It is good to see differently. Looking at our stuff in the same way is habit. Things might be created to shake us out of our expected outcomes and complacency. This allows us to realize different things.

Sometimes it is about self care and our lack of it. There has been a lot of this around me lately. Which offers me the chance to notice for myself: How am I doing with self care? Do I need to create the loss of a foot or a skin cancer where the sun doesn't shine in order to wake up in some way? Visiting others in the hospital makes me appreciate that I will walk right back out after my visit. Sometimes it take a big thing in our lives to make us stop and recalibrate. We have a remarkable ability to compensate, over compensate, cope and tolerate and we keep going and then finally, Bam! Down we go.

Being able to notice what is present for me while still in the experience or close to it is much more useful. Hindsight the same day or a day later is much better than a year from now for me personally. I tend to notice things happening in my outside world as related to me.  

Two approaches. Learning sooner than later and learning later than sooner. Both approaches have merit due to our state of awareness. 

Take some time out of your busy day to access Heart Centered Awareness. It is nice when you can sit a bit but that is not necessary. Don't allow that to become an excuse. Just bring your awareness to your physical heart and be thankful. That it beats and that you are alive. Then notice your emotional terrain. Be grateful that you feel connected to yourself and those around you. Then notice in a bigger sense our connection, where we are One. Free of form, just light photons, bio photons, resonances, frequencies and vibrations. Information abounds and all of it loose in the Infinite Sea of Potential. This is Consciousness at play. All of this can happen in the blink of an eye but usually we like to linger and pay attention. Which is fine. 

Metaphysical trainings, religious trainings, life school trainings, medical training, business trainings. There are lots of different trainings about being. We can set up routines and routes to explore and to know ourselves and to know ourselves as something bigger. To feel our connection to what is important about being One. Meditate, paint your toenails, eat dinner. All have value with the right focus. Be present and Celebrate. Embrace the fog.

Consciousness and the Words




We are noticing that within the unfolding of ourselves these days, we are getting in touch with our base concepts of being. How very exciting when you think about it. In group the words that came up reflected this.

The English language can often provide more than one meaning and often the totality of associations found within one word. There is often duality present.

The following words presented themselves as we looked at the energy before us. A new story was making itself present but being held back from engaging by her old story baggage. Another story of the neighborhood feeling safe when threatened by people not respecting the rules of community and then another story of not remembering that one was okay, always, no matter the surface upset. All sort of related even though they were from three people. All three stories of thinking and feeling had at core the flow of these words:

Innocence  Entitlement  Worldly  Sophisticated  Naive

It was all about how they were in each of us. Who knew? That is the fun of group as we explore life.

Entitlement is about the amount of right to something or the deserving of privileges or special rights. Which is about separateness really. Worldly and sophisticated were more about the concern of material things than spiritual awareness. Naive is about lacking judgment, perspective, natural and unaffected. We could see how the push pull of conflict was present in the words themselves and how we use them. How do they reflect and work within us?

In our work as Consciousness experiencing itself from a more knowing position, do we celebrate innocence and naive or judge them for being so? The story of Adam and Eve and the Apple of Knowledge came up. And how we might be still beating ourselves up 2000 years later. Sin and suffering were part of it all.

We have become a society that celebrates things and having things and that is our measurement of accomplishment as human. Not our heart and connection but our things and selection and inclusion of only a few. We celebrate the doer not the being. We frown upon the innocent and naive when that is what is at heart within each of us. How do we honor self?

How does innocence know itself? How do we be innocent and worldly? Does naive suffer in comparison to worldly and sophisticated? How do we hold our own in the face of the power of the disbelieve and lack of respect surrounding us and ultimately in ourselves?

In our open state of heart centered awareness we could feel our words flowing free, resistance shrinking. We go for a state of wonder and wonderment.

Consciousness and Being Open



There is no effort in Being. You relax and open up. Information flows. There is no judge, no attachment to outcome. You are free to observe inwardly and outwardly. That is the true gift of Heart Centered Awareness. Being nothing, no thing. Sometimes it is a challenge.

Open up to who you think you are, no matter what that might be, warts and all. Let yourself, as Consciousness embrace the Self as friend and visa versa. The words forgive and forget are about judgment and bottom line, we all are Consciousness expressing through the individual prism of Self. It is so easy to judge. It is important to be able to make distinctions to keep safe. So, let it be from a non attached place when you use those words. Open yourself be more aware of who you are and what is important to you.

Value Potential, not as something your grade school teacher and parents may have beat you about the head and shoulders with but as a neutral reality to play in. If you were open and there were no limits, and you were comfortable inside AND outside of the box, what is possible? The box may be what your parents, family, community put you in. You can still navigate your present collective reality we all share and still be comfortable being your own person.

It never is too late to open up to a new choice. For all the dynamics we each embody, usually from an unaware state, don't let yourself think that is all that you are. You may have been that for a moment or maybe for many moments but those are the past already. What do you choose to be open to in this moment is the question. Open for potential, make a choice, and let the energy reveal itself.
  
Do no harm, whether bug or neighbor. or stranger. How many of us kill bugs and help the old lady cross the street? Is there any difference? Both are living, just at different levels. If you talk to the ants can they let you know why your paths are crossing and maybe something else is possible? In heart centered awareness you can ask and get an answer.

Open up to appreciate and demonstrate kindness, gentleness, affection, care and love.

Open up to heart centered awareness.  Allow who you are to open and unfold.and unfold and unfold some more.

Consciousness and the Fairy, Tiger,Dragon,Elephant,Whizard,Whaledolph

Hello,

Consciousness is full of flavor and variety and fun. Our ability to access the wonderful flavors we each embody makes for an enriching sense of awareness and wonder. Whole brain states rock!

In group we all sat together in the common ground of Well Being, Heart Centered Awareness and our sense of it is deepening. Our surface energies were full of politics, the Donald, actions and repercussions from within all of us, the news, the Olympics, the bee sting, the quality of bladder flow. the reeducation of the body.

We played with the words that came out of all these issues: fear, helplessness, unsettled, normal, sphincters, unfit. farting, shame. They hold power deep inside, ( LOL), and not something you find being talked about in most circles. But pay attention and you can notice how you react to what you have going on in and around you.

What also showed up were our assumptions and associations. There was the, no longer buried, anger we can hold in how our systems of government, religion, business, education,  etc. are often full of untruths and the biases we don't recognize. We assume that we have been told the truth when we go to school and take for dogma what is written. When in fact it may not be. It may only be what someone else, now or long ago decided was important and belief by others empowered it. A state of belief, a morphic field, starts forming and engaging and we, in our unknowing and wanting to fit in and not question, don't. And those who will follow us may be caught up in the same cycle of false belief. Which we interpret as fact, and value as learning. And it isn't.

Years ago it meant something to go away to school, to be free of provincial thinking. Liberal arts is about liberation from the old. We learned to question and not take for granted. I don't think we hold it the same anymore. Social media and mores are full of untruths that now dance and limit globally.

When we sat a silent invitation was unknowingly issued. Some of us enjoy shamanic awareness as common skills, Our openness signaled deep within for qualities not always explored or appreciated too much in the past. They came forward. Out of the mix of us: the tiger in her, the dragon in another, the elephant in him, the whizard in her, the fairy in her and the combo whaledolph in another invited themselves to play.

It was a different sense of our energies and how we, in this reality. experience it and judge what it is. After listening to the news, one's reaction may have felt like fear but maybe it was the wings of the fairy quickly moving to synthesize the fear the media was projecting, the helplessness inherent.

Our animal and creative natures showed us that we were magic in action, Well Being was staying present. There was no concern, just this very real deep sense that Potential is afoot and out in the world and that some thing wonderful and unexpected will happen. All it took was a shift in awareness. Fear become the flutter of fairy wings helping out. Nice.  Relabeling power.  Take back the assumption and labeling of what we were feeling to just energy and what do you get? Without agenda or emotional labeling, the quiet is excitingly alive. Potential is real.

Access Heart Centered Awareness. See yourself sitting in front of a mirror and invite your various natures to present themselves. Invite them to sit with you in harmony and offer you their wisdoms. Let it all enfold back into the whole of you.

Consciousness and Now Two Golden Pelvises

Hello All,

This last week we continued our exploration of Life with the female Golden Pelvis that showed up the week before last. We were all women again gathered in group and we were sharing what had been showing up.

The political temperature in convention, our own body parts holding in awareness of traumas and of our male partners statements from years ago. We agreed that if we shared what we had been told by these men now that they would not remember probably. We presumed they would be apologetic. But we remember. and our pelvises remember.

Men have to be socialized to women as women have to be socialized to men.  What did you learn growing up? There can be such awkwardness between the sexes coming from sexual awareness and from not being comfortable with ourselves. and the roles relationship and commitment
dictate. Old references about marriage, parenting, and those morphic field influences.

Remember first dates and blind dates and all the expectations and unknowing? Yikes and yuck. My viewpoint is that for every man who says things about women that are not kind there was a mother who did not or was unable to provide her son with appreciation of feminine energies. And, a father or male influence who did not echo it either. Relationships can be filled with this dynamic.

As we were continuing to clear stuff that was showing up and letting the golden pelvis with its wonderful sense of well being do its magic, one of our group came in late. John, who is part of our men's group also. He  embodies a wonderful male energy who enjoys the female sacred from within a very sacred male appreciation. I asked him right off the bat where did his appreciation of women come from and he said his mother.

What came out of the subsequent conversations within heart centered awareness was exploring the questions that the sacred female brought to awareness in relations to the sacred male. Where did that show up in the scheme of things? And as it came up next to the sacred feminine there was balance and harmony.

I am fortunate that I know of such things and have people around me who recognize both. Do men recognize their sense of the sacred male or it is lost too, in the clutter of culture and business? Men have a rough time with finding their way through the conflicting information out in the world about what it means to be male. They are aware of the differences in what they feel and how they feel and what society might tell them is okay. How being male expresses. Where is it's sense of well being?

We often have done a poor job of teaching our children about being human and male and female.
If we take away the judgments that are so easy to make and see embodied around in personalities and notice how they are reflecting our own issues to confront we are in a much better place internally. Be thankful for the annoyance you find in front of you. It has information for you at the deepest levels.

What we did find when done was a sense that the world and how lives are unfolding is in order. There is no breaking down of society and patterns. What is happening is an unfolding into a new order. When we allow that to be the framework Peace is present. Break is a harsh word filled with harsh abrupt energy. Use the word "unfold" as you explore your sense of the sacred feminine and male energies. Feel what comes forward to play.

Consciousness and the Habituated Thought

Hello All,

Habituated thoughts can be like choice fruit. You can have a handful but you are going to only pick the same one over and over. It becomes mesmerizing. It has this seductive quality. It reaches someplace inside that other thought doesn't reach. We slip into thinking that it is the only one that will do. It can be the curse wrapped up in the enchantment that lures us in and then we are caught.

In group and with clients and with ourselves we were coming up against the habituated thought.

Is there a new way to consider them? Using our consciousness technologies and accessing heart centered awareness is the trick. and it isn't a trick but a way of life. A new way to look at, or feel our way to new levels of thoughts. We will always be thinking. What if it was easier to just shift what doesn't serve us as it once did? Do we have that ability? Do we have the necessary framework in place and flexibility of thought to allow for something new to appreciate and hold our focus?Are we ready for new discernments as Consciousness?

What came up was the willingness to wait. To wait with the thought and allow it to be. In waiting and not trying to do something or to judge how we felt about the thought it started to change on its' own a bit. All thought has consciousness in it. We have created it. So depending on how we relate to our thoughts, meaning can be observed and chosen. If we are neutral and without the bias that created the thought originally change can happen in the observation.

A client is 90 years old. She was impressed with her logic about how she was not lovable, though others loved her. She felt that it was not possible to love herself and her story supported that when she was a child and it led to thinking a certain way for a long, long time. Yet, that was coming not from logic in her experiences but in skewed logic which is not the same thing, is it? Her sense of logic was coming from her biases that fulfilled her story beliefs which was not the same that others used to view her. The awareness hit her right between the eyes. Her habituated thought about herself in the scheme of things came loose.

Maybe feeling different in some way is only for a moment in the total of a life. Condition comes and then it goes and then it comes back with a seeming vengeance. What is key is that it was a condition as something, then it changed and then it changed again. It did not come back the same it came back differently. Obviously there are forces at play, information engaged.

Just return to Heart Centered Awareness and wait and notice what shows up.

Consciousness Adventuring/ Using the Light the Path is Clear



Hello All, 

Sometimes the path is clearly lit. We might know we have to step with awareness for there are rocks along the path. And, what we see ahead isn't always the warmest looking destination. It can look like more storm ahead. And yet there we go, through the opening that is in front of us. Because we know where we have been and the light on our path and through the opening leads us onward.

Often our work is like this. Living is like this. "Been there, done that. Don'want to do that again." we might be inclined to say. So with awareness and knowing that we are on an adventure we continue on our way. 

We are adventurers. To be human is to explore. Some of us choose to explore in the minutia of life and some take big steps outward. Consciousness is without boundaries, allowing for all. Humans set up the limits and definitions. In Consciousness there is no right, no wrong, no anything. No judgments. And you can perhaps feel how some part of yourself may challenge that or feel uncomfortable. Which is exciting. 

It is exciting because you have just become aware. Because before you react, which can be a hair trigger moment, there was this moment of "OH", that feels good or that does not feel so good. Which is the human gaining awareness. And, in the right state of being, of Heart Centered Awareness you can pause and let yourself notice what is happening. What is getting triggered and what do you choose to do about it. The automatic response is on notice now. Control now has a chance to shift just a bit into more of a flow moment and allow for something new if wanted. It can be subtle or send the rocks in motion. When they settle you can notice that the path is now clear. 

Let go of the judgments today and see what happens. If that seems challenging let go of them for the next hour. Operate with no assumptions. Access Heart Centered Awareness and allow for your awareness of the light there to light your way and operate out of it for the next hour as you interact in your world. Notice the "Oh" moments and then your thoughts and actions. This is the Sea of Potential we are accessing here. Where every thing is not a thing yet, just bits and pieces, flotsam and jetsam, waiting to become some thing else. A new pattern, a new behavior. Where what was can be no longer and can become some thing else. 

The path is clear no matter what might seem to be in the way. 

Love, janet

Consciousness Playground/ See, Hear, Speak

Hello All,




See, Hear, Speak

My heart is open.
See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil
How hard is it?

I hear voices from out there and echos in here,
See No Good, Hear No Good, Speak No Good
See No Joy, Hear No Joy, Speak No Joy.
See No Love, Hear No Love, Speak No Love.
See No Soul,  Hear No Soul, Speak No Soul.
My heart constricts.

Consciousness waits.
My heart unfolds and expands and expands and expands.
See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil.
Think No Evil, Feel No Evil. Want No Evil.

There is only quiet and the breath of All.
There are only choices that lead to actions.
That lead to experiences and outcomes.

Consciousness allows for all. And waits.


Love,

Consciousness Around the Bend This Week

Hello Out There!

I love this picture. It is so helpful to demonstrate the following: Sometimes we can't tell if we are coming or going or making any progress on our path. With the above perspective you can see that we are often exploring the same terrain and yet it is different. The road covers the same area but is different. Coming from the opposite direction and you are continuing on the path. We tend to think that what shows up is the same old thing but as we do this work we have to appreciate new ways to look at our stuff. Hindsight is invaluable to wisdom being realized and acted upon.It is even better when the hindsight is available immediately.

Much has been rippling out in the cosmic levels of energy, earth energies, world human energies, and within ourselves. None of it is separate from one another. Only our level of awareness. What is your level of awareness? Can you see the connection between what you see outside of you to what is in you? How would it be useful? What if it started with you and was playing outward? Just how big is your ripple effect? What are you rippling out about?

Much is up for play in group as energies open up and accelerate. We have been exploring, sharing and supporting, with our collective unique ways of noticing information, one another. Each of us is a valuable individual in how we express Consciousness in Being. Collectively we are changing lives. Singularly we are transforming ourselves. You never have to doubt that we each make a difference in the world when you sit with others in Heart. Sometimes it is easier in group to hold this truth. Alone or with others it is a profound realization.

Most of the time we can not hear ourselves in a way that honors, enriches and supports the Divine in each of us. No matter our personal history we are the Infinite in action. Your story of events is just how you choose to express it and is subject to change.You are not done yet are you, playing out the same old, same old?  We are Consciousness enjoying being, evolving.

How do we hold our life precious when it might not be feeling that way? Know that you are on the path from someplace to someplace else. It is called Enlightenment. We leave our bodies usually different that when we entered them. Know that you can choose to visit the same part of the road going back and forth in some sort of loop or you can decide that much more is possible. Make the road dimensional and you can leap from level to level.

Go within, easily and effortlessly and quickly. When you have to make a choice in the moment you might not have time to meditate and wait for clarity. But you can get still, access Heart Centered Awareness with a shift in awareness and hear what you need to hear, an answer. You can tap into the Sea of Potential the answer is coming from. It is there. Always.

For one here last week, new to the dynamics, she enjoyed what she felt here, at home for a week. Then she had an experience that shifted her state and she was concerned that she wasn't feeling the same. It took only her understanding that she could go right back to it with a little help and she was there again. It is that way for all of us. That is the way of the path. It is all about the journey.

Love,

Consciousness Steps Lively

Hello Out There!

Let"s agree to meet this Tuesday evening 7-9 pm and/or Thursday afternoon 1-3 pm for Heart Centered Awareness at play. Please RSVP to come play.

Stuff is happening and to be able to keep up with it we need every advantage. Being able to access clarity and the right choice for you each time is the best way to go. Sometimes we can be inundated with information and a sense of a lack of time. Going to where the sacred silence is waiting and the rising up of your truth is possible always enriches us. Enables us. Embraces us in the wisdom of our challenges.

Come join us in the fun and the letting go of what ails you. You will not be alone. It is possible and real.

Resistance is easy. Some times it feels like it might take courage to examine ourselves. Denial flourishes. But done within the framework of warmth, support and non judgment, what keeps us stuck can start to melt away. Come give it a try a couple of times. It will happen quickly and that can be surprising and startling.

What do you have to lose?

Love,

Consciousness Cookies for Today


Hello Out There,

Tapping into our connection as Consciousness is easy. Feeling it can rock your boat. Understanding what is happening is optional and not really important at times. And there might not be a lot of words available to articulate as it is our right brain that is engaging and not our left brain verbal processor. We will show you the very simple steps and let our authentic voices make themselves heard. And, then, the shift. That is the key.
What fun!

Food for Thought
At the Portland Body, Mind and Spirit Expo this past weekend I had the chance to meet a very nice group of people that didn't always know what or why they were in front of me. They might have been trawling through as we can tend to do at these sorts of events. But for those that chose to accept a free Consciousness Cookie that I had provided  (and most everyone did) it was a moment to contemplate. Food for Thought without the calories!

Joan, my partner on Conscious Conversations with Joan and Janet, and I offered a 50 minute presentation on Consciousness and about the shift that we are all feeling these days and maybe don't have the language or understanding of what is happening. It is Quantum Leap time, People! Those of us who do this work see it, feel it, hear it, know it, and experience it crosses through our cell membranes. It was interesting to hear what people thought about Consciousness and Consciousness Technologies and most of it was new to the interested general public.

I was busy doing demos for those interested in feeling something different and shift in their conscious realities. Every body felt something and when we moved out and about in regards to some area that was showing up, it was sensed. It will be interesting to hear back from those who participated and I know that some will respond to their sign ups for more information and about the play groups. I also are aware that is also easy for some to just walk away and put it down to the moment. Not realizing that, even though I said it would continue, that it might get lost in the day. And, maybe not. My reality set is that it will make a difference whether they or myself are aware of it or not.

The only way to effectively handle the changes coming up and out of the chaos in our worlds is to connect to our sense of Consciousness as Heart Centered Awareness, Unified Consciousness or Source or Universe. The label only reflects the training and bias and not the state.

We are each redefining ourselves and opening up to the collapse of systems and labels that don't serve any longer. Whether in religion, business, spirituality, politics or contemplating our collective navels, shift is happening globally. Which is very exciting and maybe traumatic for some. Traumatic is okay when we hold it in reference to letting go and/or holding on what no longer serves. Depending on how we have each set up our games about Life and our power as Consciousness, change can be easy, simple, smooth or Hell on Wheels and everything in between. It can bring out the extremes.

What is important is that we each have the power to self lead in new ways. We don't have to follow hollow states, institutions and personalities. Most of the time we live in states of Uncertainty and so we go to others for help.

When that state shifts I have yet to met anyone who doesn't have their own answers. Some have it buried deep but it is there. Some have never thought to question but it is there. Some don't realize how easy it can be. They have just been choosing to have someone else be responsible for giving them permission to know their truth and define them. Which is one way to be.

What would it be like to be able to ask yourself a question and feel okay about what you hear out of the quiet? In being present and open, Wonder is yours.

Love,

Consciousness as Pixels/ Do you see what I see?

Hello All,


QR Code (Quick Response Code)
What is this a representation of? It could be anything. Is it  random generated or a specific representation of what?

If you are not familiar with this it is a QR code. They are showing up everywhere. It is the trademark for a type of matrix barcode
( two dimensional barcode.) It contains info about the item it is attached to. It is a machine-readable optical label. I presume those machines have computers components that read this and translate. Because can you read what this is about? I can't. I can assign meaning and assume and allow this to represent some things if I want.

Would it be interesting to see yourself reduced down to the photons or pixels in patterns forming squares and rectangles? And what if the pixels could come undone and reform into new relations of vectors and alignments? Add another dimension or two or three and all of a sudden you have volume and form.  Do you see your body and your thoughts and your illusions and the And, And, and And that make up you? You would experience some thing different.

 What if we are changing all the time and hold no awareness of it? What if this was just a symbol of a moment and it continued to be part of another moment differently? Those photons/pixels may be moving at a rate not discernable to the human eye or sensory system. Happens all the time and in our arrogance or blindness or lack of awareness we miss it.

Our thoughts follow in underlying habitual patterns. What if Potential was activated and we missed it? We can change in a moment when we use our Consciousness Technologies and we can feel it and then talk ourselves out of it or allow for it to change again in a non supportive environment. Reality can shift in the blink of our eye.

What if you were a bunch of QR Codes hanging together. Maybe you have one that encompasses them all, allowing them to interact with each other and others outside of the code. Maybe some come into play at different times, maybe some that prevent things or actions to happen. The QR contains information about the item it is attached to. What if it was not static and was in a flow and flux state?

How good is your reader machine? How updated are you? What if in the moment it took to read this, it is different in ways you haven't yet noticed? What if You are different in ways you have not yet noticed?

Love,

Fuzzy Photons Dancing This Week/ Peace as the Norm

Hello all,

What if you felt peace inside you as the norm? What if you felt compassion as your norm? What if the world was in peace and chaos was a way to incorporate change as the norm? There is a lot of stuff in the world that would say that war and mayhem and discord are everywhere and we are all “going to hell in a hand basket". Whether it is money, war, abuse, religion, politics, spirituality, science, or medicine, all have organized energy in them that can challenge peace and compassion in our centers.

All are certainly part of the spectrum of what we call the Game of Life here on planet earth. What do I choose to focus on then? What makes me feel good, as Consciousness, to embrace? Consciousness allows for all and in that we get close to what we call love, if you want to ascribe human feeling to this. In the infinite sea of potential that Consciousness is, Consciousness doesn’t care what we do or go through to have our experiences. It does not judge. As humans, the interface of how Consciousness interacts with itself, we do. We judge all the time. We have emotions that propel us along certain paths. They are the fuel. Consciousness sets a course through discernments before we embody and then we make these our filters and perceptual bias in how we interact with self and others and our worlds. We are the bits and pieces of medium in that sea.

So back to what we as human know to be true, (really and how attached are you?) the war and mayhem and abuse we do to each other. And have for thousands of years. Check to see what reality mindset you are coming from. History reminds us of the patterns we are holding, individually and collectively in our bits and pieces. It is an important way to gain insight into what is happening presently as most of us all live in the past that we create our future from. We can predict the future based on the past if the present doesn’t change anything. You can only change in the present.

We all know you can’t change the past. Really? You can certainly change the past from happening again. One reason we are so taken with the idea of time traveling is often it contains the energy of change. You want to change now or don’t want to change now. We want to change what happened so our now would be different. Time warping and unraveling holds a strong fascination for most. We question if we make a difference in being. Since we each hold a particular viewpoint as Consciousness that ripples out and interacts with other ripples, yes we do. We co-create all the time, validating our established and usually unknown discernments and biases.

If we get out of the limiting reality mindset that nothing ever changes except for getting worse and get out of judging what seems to be happening in the world good or bad, or destructive or or or, change is possible. We are in the infinite sea of potential again, not in the bits and pieces of matter. Matter means something with form/body/energy and also something important. Take away the form/body/energy and the importance and you have potential in motion again.

If we observe ourselves in action as Consciousness, without attachment what do we notice? What are we free to align ourselves with? I see and feel a lot of discord on some levels yes. I also feel love. I feel strength, I feel compassion, I see them as real and demonstrated many places. I see and feel them in myself, for myself. If each of us took the time to look honestly at ourselves and were open to what that means and what is important, agendas hidden and known, and got clear on what is important in new ways would you feel and see differently? Would your world start to reflect that more than not?

There has never been a better time to be open to feeling yourself being from within. If you want real change in the world out there we each must allow for it from within each of us. Use your emotions and thoughts in helpful ways. Pledge to judge yourself and others less, no matter the circumstances, to only enrich the human experience, to empower Consciousness to know delight in itself. Bring into alignment with life in the moment. It is not the length of life. It is the quality of life. It is wonderful when it is both. It is okay when it is not. Remember Consciousness does not care or judge. It allows for all. The particulars are up to each of us.

Love,
