Why Am I So Tired, Emotional & Stressed? It's NOT just YOU.

NOTE: Join in at 11:11 AM Eastern Time on Friday May 1st, 2009 with your intentions and prayers, and watch the video Random Acts of Global Healing.

Or for an even more powerful connection to Universal Love from Source - any time - download the Universal Love Attunement.

The painting shown is of what I saw during a very deep meditation I achieved by listening to the Universal Love Attunement. I was fully conscious. The wavy lines were dancing across my room, creating music with their movements and vibration. The music was their way of communicating Love.

I received the following channeled message on April 29, 2009...

If you’ve been feeling kind of shaken and stirred lately, don’t worry, it’s not just you! The energies have been intense lately. We have had a burst of remarkably pure light/energy come through to recalibrate our energy systems over the past 7 days.

That can translate into what feels like mood swings between joy and anger and anywhere in between. For me, it’s showing up as physical pain and a feeling of sadness in the past 3 or 4 days – but up to then I was feeling pure joy. I've also been needing lots of extra sleep.

Why?

Our bodies have been – and still are – attempting to clear themselves of energy patterns that have become toxic for us. This needs to happen to literally create physical space within us for that beautiful light to fill us with joy and literal harmony. The light is changing us on a physical level even though we can’t see it.

The image I see of what is being created within us is a network of golden light streams woven together in a way that they actually create harmonious music (on a higher vibrational scale than we can hear with our physical ears). We are going to be humming in more ways than one! And the energy we are beginning to give off as we allow this light in is going to be good not only for us but for Mother Earth and anyone we come into contact with or even think about.

It’s a bit strange, especially for those of us who are healers, lightworkers or spiritually sensitive, but if we can allow whatever emotions or physical pains are coming up to be released, we’ll be better able to receive the good feelings this light has the capacity to create for us.

Journaling can help, having a shoulder to cry on helps, venting into your pillow, going for a walk… I suggested in my blog 7 days ago to do whatever makes you light up inside, whatever makes you smile. Keep doing this - it will help you stay afloat in this seeming sea of emotional disarray. And just be aware that this is a process, not a final destination – so it’s temporary.

Imagine a river running into a dam. The flow slows down and so does the energy. But when you remove that dam, suddenly the water flows with strength, beauty and clarity, to where it needs to go.

We need to open up right now and allow ourselves to experience this transformation. Change is scary to most of us but what’s on the other side is unimaginably wonderful.

The video "Random Acts of Global Healing" gives you FREE Distance Healing PLUS instructions on how to participate in ongoing global healing ceremonies at any of my upcoming events - you don't have to be physically at my location to reap the benefits. I have decided to create my own tradition (I've kind of already started this anyway!) and turn ALL of my public appearances into opportunities for Global Healing Ceremonies that include all of you who want to participate in healing yourself and Mother Earth.

Spiritual Lessons from a Kettle & a Grocery Store

Did you know that when your kettle is plugged in, but turned off, it's still tapped into the electrical current through its connection to the outlet?

A seemingly random question but keep it in mind for a moment.

I've been feeling sort of flat, levelled off, just kind of... here. It occurred to me when I was standing in the kitchen a moment ago that I've been feeling like a kettle that's plugged in but not turned on.

Check this out...

You know when you feel really drained and like things just aren't working out? That happens to us human beings when we are unplugged - from our spirit and Source/Creator/God. Not a great feeling, right?

Now imagine this...

You go to a retreat, or a great concert... or you do something else that just makes you feel amazing. How do you feel now? Don't you feel like that kettle after the switch is turned on? Bubbling up with energy? Don't you feel warm and like you're even heating up deep inside?

Well, I've been feeling like I'm somewhere in between. I have been feeling connected to my spirit for the past couple of weeks but I still felt like my light wasn't on - except for a few bursts of energy in between. It's been challenging for me to stay consistently positive and motivated.

That's what I mean about the kettle. It's like I was plugged into Source - and I do most often feel that connection - and yet, I couldn't find the ON switch to really shine.

I've been feeling like "What's next?" It's as if I've been standing in that one lineup at the grocery store. You know the one... it seems like the shortest but ends up being the longest. Finally you move to another one, thinking it will be quicker but the second you switch to that lineup, it stops moving and the checkout clerk calls for a price check. And then the line-up you left begins to move, right?

I think that's what happens to us sometimes... we get impatient and just when things are about to move, we look for another solution. You know what that is? It's us trying to take control of the flow of life force. And we can't. Not from that standpoint anyway.

Sometimes the best option is to just be... wherever you are on your journey. Just be. Sometimes energy needs to be released for us to get switched back on. Sometimes what we're waiting for really is just right around the corner, if only we could sit in acceptance long enough to catch our breath before the real ride begins!

Maybe all my energy was being stored up for the last 3 conferences I performed and spoke at. Or maybe Creator was putting together a special package for me and I needed to slow down to allow its creation... and to notice it when it comes!

Anyway, my switch has been turned back on, so to speak. Right after I got a call from a new healing client, I felt the wonderful familiar sensation of exuberant life force surging through my whole being. I LOVE that feeling and I know it can only happen when I'm plugged into Source and my spirit, which is the natural electrical pathway/circuit for human beings... but it's more than just having that connection.

You have to switch on the kettle to get the water to boil. You have to feel that connection to Source and your spirit.

And even if you know the connection is there - you have to activate the circuit between you, your spirit and Source. The switch needs to be turned on. And you do that by bringing joy, love, laughter, excitement and passion into your life... and sometimes by just waiting, listening within and letting yourself feel that connection as it arrives.

It's interesting that I was just on a teleclass by spiritual author Julia Rogers-Hamrick a couple of nights ago and now I feel the energy flowing like this. Not a coincidence.

In her teleclasses, Julia always leads us first in a guided meditation on "radiating love", which is so simple and so powerful. And now I can feel that I'm radiating love automatically! I encourage you to try it out. Julia has instructions in her lastest newsletter.

Now I don't want to promote leaving your appliances plugged in, because it actually does waste electricity. But what I will say is this...

Elder and healer Joanne Dallaire once said in a workshop, "Plug in" to your spirit. Julia Rogers-Hamrick said to "radiate love." Once you do those two things, you will feel better right away, plus it will get easier and easier every time.

Love, Light & Levity,
Brenda

Being Open Brings Amazing Gifts

August 7/08

I just got back from an incredible massage – well it was more, it was a healing and activation. A local Aboriginal shiatsu therapist worked on me using not just her shiatsu training, but traditional Aboriginal medicine. She’s very gifted. And the thunder and rain happened during my session, just to add to my healing.

In case you've never met me, I'm the one who stands outside in the middle of my street to get the most rain on me when it pours around here. The rain heals me! It takes away my headaches, but I have to stand in it to get the benefits. That's how my song Water From the Sky came to me. I was standing in the rain and suddenly I heard the words, started singing and there was the song. And that song actually brings rain when I sing it in ceremony.

Anyway... so I was blessed by the thunder and rain during my healing today.

But the amazing stuff…

I felt a blanket of white light that I know was a grandmother spirit, flowing over my body for quite a while, in different areas that the massage therapist wasn't working on. It was so obviously a spirit… I even checked for open windows afterward and there were none and yet, I could feel the coolness of a fresh breeze whenever I saw the white light in my mind’s eye, and I had the distinct intuitive impression of a grandmother - quite possibly the one who works with me ever since I went to Thunder Mountain.

I don’t know if it was her or one of the healer's spirit helpers, but I kept saying thank you in my mind. At one point, that grandmother or another spirit actually physically touched me – again, I checked to make sure it wasn’t the healer, but she had both her hands engaged in working with another area of my body.

After this, I saw my body with what looked like holes in it, emitting bright columns of light right out to the sky, and the colours I remember are sky blue (luminescent, like a blue aura), and I think magenta and green, and a few more colours I don't remember. I saw and sensed that they (whoever ‘they’ are it had something to do with a Lemurian crystal friend of mine) were putting something into those 'holes' in my body. It looked like clear crystals, soft-edged rectangular containers filled with light of the same colours as the light beams coming out of me. Wherever those holes were in my body, where the colourful lights were coming out of me, they were putting those light-filled crystals inside. I also had the sensations and image of more than one being working on some intricate parts of my energy system. It's hard to describe. I feel this may have been the massage therapist's helpers working on me.

And then they were done. And I was teary-eyed and filled with such love and appreciation.

I knew I was being prepared for 08/08/08. That grandmother was taking out what I needed to release, calming me and somehow balancing my energy. Every time I felt that cool sensation flow over my skin, my whole body relaxed and I felt like I was floating. And these lights inside me, I don't know what exactly that's about but I'm sure to find out soon. Something was given to me to help me do this energy activation tomorrow and perhaps to help me with my healing work from here on. I don’t know what it was exactly but it was amazing, and I know had I not been open and allowing it, I wouldn't have been able to receive these gifts.

And the thunder beings at one point, I could feel them come in and help too. I know their energy - they've appeared to me before. Maybe it was when I had a warm sensation on my back, but it was definitely when I was on my stomach and the sensation was to do with my back. And every time I would feel a certain sensation and wonder about who was helping me, the thunder would sound as if on cue. Glad I laid that tobacco offering down before I left today. With all the thunderstorms recently, I've been regularly putting down tobacco to ask for safe passage and thank the thunders and rain for my healing.

I could feel my energy changing and shifting throughout the entire session. At various points I felt dizzy and like I wasn’t even physically there, even though I could feel the physical sensations of the massage. It was very powerful, the whole experience. I feel so blessed. My physical body got a really intense healing and my energy system got a total makeover!

I'm still quite blown away by what's been happening to me since this spring and it keeps getting more and more intense. But as I welcome what feels right, and follow through on inspiration or when I am called to do something, my life keeps on getting more and more amazing. And I know being open is the key.

I'm excited and even mystified by what will happen at 8pm on 08/08/08. I have no idea how it will all unfold because I am staying very open to guidance through Spirit as I did today. All I can say is, it feels like a giant bubble expanding and expanding and when it bursts tomorrow, healing, high vibration energy will spread throughout the universal energy field for everyone to access for the highest good of each individual as well as the whole.

Miigwech, Thank you for listening.

Peace, Love & Light,
