consciouslifenews--2020-07-20--Empathic Expectations and How to Let Them Go

This week I wanted to write about a topic near and dear to my heart ; empathy .
It goes without saying that feelings of empathy are what connect the hearts of humanity and are the ties that bind us all throughout the cosmos and across all of time and space .
It is what allows us to literally step into the shoes of another and experience their perspective , their view , and even sometimes their thoughts , energy , and feelings as intensely and as vividly as they do themselves .
Most of us are born with an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ see someone or something in pain , we get a tingle in our gut that makes us want to reach out and console or help them .
We feel deep down that connection I mentioned earlier , even if we can not on the surface of our consciousness fully understand why or where these feelings are coming from .
In today ’ s society , sadly many of us are unaware of the magnificent details of this connection and most are certainly not taught about it in school or from our parents .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ call Emotional or Intuitive Empaths , are born with such capabilities that they without effort absorb and pick up on the energies , thoughts , and feelings of those around them and therefore are forced to explore this extra-sensory avenue of our physical capabilities .
I , to my blessing and also to my demise , am one of these people .
I haven ’ t shared this truth about myself with many people as I was growing up as even at the age of 3 I knew I was different and felt @ @ @ @ @ @ @ adults around me didn ’ t and frankly , I found out the hard way that most adults do not appreciate being corrected , especially by a child .
I got kicked out of Sunday school for asking too many questions about God that couldn ’ t be answered and often was asked to leave classrooms for the same reason .
I just couldn ’ t turn off this endless sense of curiosity and wonderment in my brain about the world around me , and with the constant bombardment of emotions , feelings @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not merely of my own creation , but of those around me , I was always stimulated , energetically triggered , pushed and pulled emotionally and for a kid not knowing what the hell is happening , it can be quite confusing .
Universities even studied my abilities as a child , but for me personally , it was up to me to find out the answers about who I was , what these gifts were , why they were endowed to me , and what purpose they served for me on my @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I hated them and just wanted them to go away .
I hid them from my friends and just played the role of the friend who always gave good advice and was a good listener .
The friend who always knew what you were feeling .
I guess I got pretty good at wearing my masks because I became so embedded in my own disguise that in my 20 ‘ s I had no idea who I was and tried to find myself in drugs , alcohol , meaningless sex and unhealthy relationships @ @ @ @ @ @ @ abused…and rightly so .
Today , at age 41 I have no regrets and many goals and dreams ahead of me , but I was recently reminded of just how fragile the heart truly is and just how much more growing I have to do .
I had thought I knew the scope of my gifts , but I finally know now that I am here to use them for the greater good , not to hide them away in shame .
And I feel I ’ m finally ready to do that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ others for your entire life , even the idea of self-love feels foreign to you .
It is something that comes riddled with guilt and shame because you are just not used to putting yourself first .
However , I know in my heart of hearts that I must come out of this dark night of the soul rising high with the sun and with pride and remembrance of who I chose to not only be but BECOME in this lifetime .
If that can inspire just one person to also have the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be afraid of who they are , I will have used my gifts in the way they were intended .
For the majority of my life , I ’ ve built walls to protect myself and to take care of others .
But I realize now and I share this insight with not only other Empaths out there but anyone who feels like they always put themselves out there , just to have their heartbroken over and over again ; that we must first LIVE for ourselves so we can LEARN to LOVE @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will we stop breaking our own hearts , and be able to authentically show up in the space that the Universe has carved out just for us .
For we are all sparks of divine light , but we must be willing to turn our focus inward because this light resides within our own hearts and can only be seen once we fully embrace our own soul , our own spirit for the perfect imperfection ; the sliver of magnificence that it is .

This week I wanted to write about a topic near and dear to my heart; empathy. It goes without saying that feelings of empathy are what connect the hearts of humanity and are the ties that bind us all throughout the cosmos and across all of time and space. It is what allows us to literally step into the shoes of another and experience their perspective, their view, and even sometimes their thoughts, energy, and feelings as intensely and as vividly as they do themselves.
Most of us are born with an innate sense of empathy and if we see someone or something in pain, we get a tingle in our gut that makes us want to reach out and console or help them. We feel deep down that connection I mentioned earlier, even if we cannot on the surface of our consciousness fully understand why or where these feelings are coming from.
In today’s society, sadly many of us are unaware of the magnificent details of this connection and most are certainly not taught about it in school or from our parents. But some of us, those we call Emotional or Intuitive Empaths, are born with such capabilities that they without effort absorb and pick up on the energies, thoughts, and feelings of those around them and therefore are forced to explore this extra-sensory avenue of our physical capabilities. I, to my blessing and also to my demise, am one of these people.
I haven’t shared this truth about myself with many people as I was growing up as even at the age of 3 I knew I was different and felt like an outcast. I knew things adults around me didn’t and frankly, I found out the hard way that most adults do not appreciate being corrected, especially by a child. I got kicked out of Sunday school for asking too many questions about God that couldn’t be answered and often was asked to leave classrooms for the same reason.
I just couldn’t turn off this endless sense of curiosity and wonderment in my brain about the world around me, and with the constant bombardment of emotions, feelings, thoughts, and energy that was not merely of my own creation, but of those around me, I was always stimulated, energetically triggered, pushed and pulled emotionally and for a kid not knowing what the hell is happening, it can be quite confusing.
Universities even studied my abilities as a child, but for me personally, it was up to me to find out the answers about who I was, what these gifts were, why they were endowed to me, and what purpose they served for me on my path in life. For many years I hated them and just wanted them to go away. I hid them from my friends and just played the role of the friend who always gave good advice and was a good listener. The friend who always knew what you were feeling. I guess I got pretty good at wearing my masks because I became so embedded in my own disguise that in my 20‘s I had no idea who I was and tried to find myself in drugs, alcohol, meaningless sex and unhealthy relationships that only left me feeling used and abused…and rightly so.
Today, at age 41 I have no regrets and many goals and dreams ahead of me, but I was recently reminded of just how fragile the heart truly is and just how much more growing I have to do. I had thought I knew the scope of my gifts, but I finally know now that I am here to use them for the greater good, not to hide them away in shame. And I feel I’m finally ready to do that. You see when you live for others for your entire life, even the idea of self-love feels foreign to you. It is something that comes riddled with guilt and shame because you are just not used to putting yourself first.
However, I know in my heart of hearts that I must come out of this dark night of the soul rising high with the sun and with pride and remembrance of who I chose to not only be but BECOME in this lifetime. If that can inspire just one person to also have the courage to live their truth and not be afraid of who they are, I will have used my gifts in the way they were intended.
For the majority of my life, I’ve built walls to protect myself and to take care of others. But I realize now and I share this insight with not only other Empaths out there but anyone who feels like they always put themselves out there, just to have their heartbroken over and over again; that we must first LIVE for ourselves so we can LEARN to LOVE for ourselves. Then and only then will we stop breaking our own hearts, and be able to authentically show up in the space that the Universe has carved out just for us. For we are all sparks of divine light, but we must be willing to turn our focus inward because this light resides within our own hearts and can only be seen once we fully embrace our own soul, our own spirit for the perfect imperfection; the sliver of magnificence that it is.

The coronavirus pandemic has emerged as the biggest health crisis for the entire world. Even as businesses reopen and life limps back gradually, you cannot expect things to get normal until there is a tangible resolution to this problem. But as people need to commute and go out for work, it becomes important to be protected. Fortunately, following some safety measures can go a long way in keeping you safe from the infection. It is as simple as carrying along with some protection essentials while you step out and using them properly when you are outdoors, commuting, shopping, or at work. Here is a list of essentials that everyone absolutely needs in the pandemic world.
Hand sanitizer
Hand hygiene is the mainstay of the COVID-protection strategy. When you are outdoors, you cannot expect to wash your hands every hour or after every single contact with surfaces. Still, it is vital to keep your hands safe and germ-free and an alcohol-based hand sanitizer, like the ones available at Valm, can do a great job. You can keep a dispenser at your work desk and have a pocket-sized variant in your purse or pocket to use while commuting. Sanitize time and again even if you travel by your own vehicle.
Gloves
Another protection essential that you must absolutely use outdoors is a pair of gloves. Apart from hand hygiene, it is important to have your hands covered because the infection is easily contracted through touch. If you touch an infected surface and then touch your face, nose or mouth inadvertently, you have good chances of getting sick. Wearing a pair of gloves while traveling or even at work is a good idea to stay safe.
Face masks
There is much proof that indicates the risk of the virus being spread by air. The airborne particles can be carried around and inhaled easily to infect healthy people. Wearing a face mask is the best defense strategy and is mandatory as well. You can look for a high-quality face mask for sale and stock them up for use because you will probably need them for a long time ahead. Ensure that you wear it properly, with your mouth and nasal passages fully covered to prevent the virus from entering your system.
Disinfectant wipes
You can go the extra mile with personal safety by carrying along with a pack of disinfectant wipes every time you go out. Using them to clean your surroundings and shared surfaces can cut down the chances of catching the virus to a considerable extent. Use them on every area, from armrests to work desks, meal tables, door handles, and cab or bus seats. Remember that this is going to be the new normal.
Gadget chargers
Though people are accustomed to borrowing gadget chargers at work or while traveling, this is the last thing you should do in the pandemic era. Whenever you step out, double-check the chargers of your cell phone, tablet and laptop and ensure that they are easily accessible. As a rule, you should minimize contact , and borrowing chargers can actually lead to the spread of the virus. Avoid handling cash as well, rather switch to online payments when you shop.
Carrying small stuff can make a big difference when it comes to personal safety in the COVID era. So you must double-check and ensure that you have all these essentials when you step out.


Remedies for Busyness

Are you busy ?
I ’ m busy .
It seems like we ’ re all busy .
And when your schedule is busy your mind is busy processing and planning and negotiating it all to make sure it gets done .
And that is precisely the trapping of busyness : you get so harried , so scattered , that you can ’ t really focus on anything very well .
Your nervous system gets shorted out , your energy reserves get depleted , and you never have enough time and you end up increasingly more and more tired .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ re alone .
In fact , around 200 AD the yoga scholar Patanjali wrote an entire yoga sutra on the topic .
It ’ s the primary source for all the philosophy most of us yogis study .
Right at the beginning of this ancient text he states very clearly that the entire purpose for doing yoga is to stop the mind from all its busyness .
And that was 1800 years ago before kids ’ soccer practice , the 9-5 , and the 27 zoom meetings we have in a day .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Mind , Spirit But chilling out in the mind is easier said than done , right ?
It ’ s like when I get worked up about something , am really upset , and someone comes up to me and gratuitously offers that smidgen of infallible advice , “ Hey , chill out.
” Rarely , has advice ever found purchase with me .
I imagine myself stopping mid-freakout , relaxing all my tension , and just as that stupid smile of contented relief begins to spread across my face , I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ t I think of that ?
” No !
I need to work through it .
I got ta talk it out and maybe use some of that energy in some yoga poses or something .
Well , the same goes with busyness .
It doesn ’ t work to simply say , stop being so busy all the time .
There needs to be a processing , an accounting for the busyness and then maybe we can find some practical and lasting method of stopping the madness .
Yoga teaches that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ all connected so one way to stop the busyness is to incorporate your body and some breath into your daily routine.. After a while of running around with your head cut off , if you ’ re like me , you ’ ll take a moment from the craziness and ask if there is a better way of being .
Ironically , part of the processes of reducing busyness is getting completely exhausted , completely fed up with busyness , to realize it ’ s not you and to begin the mindful process @ @ @ @ @ @ @ if you ’ re like me , you could take a good honest look at why you make your schedule so busy .
Maybe another question to ask is , “ What are those things in life that mean the most to me ?
” and begin to organize your time and energy toward that stuff first .
I suppose this is what yoga does for us .
Yoga gives us the opportunity to first pause for reflection and for focus then give us something to DO .
It is one of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to practice being in a place where everything is simplified down to that which makes the most sense , body and breath .
Simplify : What Matters The Most Maybe with this simplified perspective , we can take a look at those things on our schedule that don ’ t really serve us and commit to spend some time , meditating , doing some yoga , or catching up on those things that really matter to you .
But what about all the stuff we got ta do for our kids , taking @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , this kids ’ activities ?
With a little mindfulness and creativity , you ’ ll find a solution for that too .
After all , what are we teaching them with all of our busyness ?
If doing yoga is going to be one more thing that busies your schedule , I might suggest taking the pressure off of yourself and simplify it with only a few minutes of your favorite poses .
You don ’ t have to do 90 minutes of yoga to be effective .
If you find yourself @ @ @ @ @ @ @ take a good look at what most matters to you in your life and organize your life based on what means the most to you .
Use some poses to approach your mind through the avenue of your body .
Scott Moore is a senior teacher of yoga and mindfulness in the US ( New York , Salt Lake City , LA ) and abroad and the author of Practical Yoga Nidra : The 10-Step Method to Reduce Stress , Improve Sleep , and Restore Your Spirit .
When he 's not teaching @ @ @ @ @ @ @ teach , he also writes for Conscious Life News , Elephant Journal , Mantra Magazine , Medium , and his own .

On Busyness
Are you busy? I’m busy. It seems like we’re all busy. And when your schedule is busy your mind is busy processing and planning and negotiating it all to make sure it gets done. And that is precisely the trapping of busyness: you get so harried, so scattered, that you can’t really focus on anything very well. Your nervous system gets shorted out, your energy reserves get depleted, and you never have enough time and you end up increasingly more and more tired.
I don’t think we’re alone. In fact, around 200 AD the yoga scholar Patanjali wrote an entire yoga sutra on the topic. It’s the primary source for all the philosophy most of us yogis study. Right at the beginning of this ancient text he states very clearly that the entire purpose for doing yoga is to stop the mind from all its busyness. And that was 1800 years ago before kids’ soccer practice, the 9-5, and the 27 zoom meetings we have in a day.
How To Chill The Mind: Body, Mind, Spirit
But chilling out in the mind is easier said than done, right? It’s like when I get worked up about something, am really upset, and someone comes up to me and gratuitously offers that smidgen of infallible advice, “Hey, chill out.” Rarely, has advice ever found purchase with me. I imagine myself stopping mid-freakout, relaxing all my tension, and just as that stupid smile of contented relief begins to spread across my face, I say, “Thanks! Why didn’t I think of that?” No! I need to work through it. I gotta talk it out and maybe use some of that energy in some yoga poses or something.
Well, the same goes with busyness. It doesn’t work to simply say, stop being so busy all the time. There needs to be a processing, an accounting for the busyness and then maybe we can find some practical and lasting method of stopping the madness. Yoga teaches that body, mind, and spirit are all connected so one way to stop the busyness is to incorporate your body and some breath into your daily routine..
After a while of running around with your head cut off, if you’re like me, you’ll take a moment from the craziness and ask if there is a better way of being. Ironically, part of the processes of reducing busyness is getting completely exhausted, completely fed up with busyness, to realize it’s not you and to begin the mindful process of escaping the madness. Maybe, if you’re like me, you could take a good honest look at why you make your schedule so busy. Maybe another question to ask is, “What are those things in life that mean the most to me?” and begin to organize your time and energy toward that stuff first.
I suppose this is what yoga does for us. Yoga gives us the opportunity to first pause for reflection and for focus then give us something to DO. It is one of the most practical ways I know of learning to practice being in a place where everything is simplified down to that which makes the most sense, body and breath.
Simplify: What Matters The Most
Maybe with this simplified perspective, we can take a look at those things on our schedule that don’t really serve us and commit to spend some time, meditating, doing some yoga, or catching up on those things that really matter to you.
But what about all the stuff we gotta do for our kids, taking them to this practice, this playdate, this kids’ activities? With a little mindfulness and creativity, you’ll find a solution for that too. After all, what are we teaching them with all of our busyness?
If doing yoga is going to be one more thing that busies your schedule, I might suggest taking the pressure off of yourself and simplify it with only a few minutes of your favorite poses. You don’t have to do 90 minutes of yoga to be effective.
If you find yourself encumbered with busyness, I invite you take a good look at what most matters to you in your life and organize your life based on what means the most to you. Use some poses to approach your mind through the avenue of your body.

consciouslifenews--2020-07-21--Ascension into the 5th Dimension (Exploring Primary Concepts)

What exactly does it mean to be ‘ Ascending into the 5th Dimension ' and how do you know if you 're ascending ?
Ascension has become a hot topic of late , especially as we sail into climate crisis and as the infusion of galactic energies transforms Gaia and the Solar System .
There 's much misunderstanding that needs to be clarified .
For example , we do n't ascend to a ‘ dimension ' , rather a density , and not just one , but a range , in this case , the 5th , 6th and 7th @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the divine-human , DIVINICUS , is taking shape .
First , let me clarify that I 'm sharing from direct personal experience having worked as a facilitator/guide through plenty of previous such shifts , including that which happened on Sirius 120 million years ago and at the conclusion of the Atlantis epoch here on Earth some 12,000 years ago .
That said , it 's always essential to form your own viewpoint from what resonates with you .
Ascension to the Fifth Dimension is something that can be theorized but must then be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to become real for you .
Plenty speaks of the Ascension into the 5th Dimension – is that actually possible and real ?
In my observation , dimensions have become confused in the science here with densities of existence .
Briefly , in the physical density , where your body resides , you need three dimensions to define your location : x , y , z .
And then science speaks of the 4th dimension as being that of time .
Yet we know that linear time is an illusion , everything is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ now , the space-time-continuum is constantly morphing and reshaping , but since everything moves together , then at this moment , there are elements of future-landing-now and the past being reconfigured .
It 's like a huge jigsaw constantly producing a new picture , but in each new configuration of the moment , a different variation , iteration , of the previous one .
And to be clear , it is your soul that is ascending NOT the body .
Plenty in the spiritual mainstream speak in terms of the body ‘ raising @ @ @ @ @ @ @ To me this is a definite misunderstanding .
The body is configured of 1st density energy , designed to sit within that frequency of being within the Universal Torus .
If you put 5th density vibration all through your physical cells , then it would likely explode !
What happens is that as we purify the lower density vehicles from toxification , through spiritual work , then the soul integrates and can flow more freely .
The natural cycle of kundalini activates forms a reconnection with the source and the soul then begins @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the higher densities .
For example , the soul brings alive , animates , the higher mind in the 5th density and the spirit light body of the 7th .
The Book 5GATEWAYS is an in-depth Text Book containing an overview of the 5 shifts of consciousness in the Journey of Ascension , with tools , tips , and advice…5GATEWAYS How do you know if you are Ascending ?
Plenty of people across the planet can now feel the shift into the 5D ( and beyond ) .
Based on spiritual work undertaken @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Openhand forum , I summarise the 21 main symptoms .
Here are the first 5 and a link to the remainder… 1 ) Expansiveness , timelessness and peace : as you surrender and let go of attachment to the 3D world , then consciousness naturally begins to expand into higher dimensions , especially 4D and 5D .
So you 'll be having periods of time where you feel a deep sense of peace and expansion .
There 'll be periods where it feels as if time has stopped or somehow just slipped @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for sentient life : you 'll have times where you feel interconnected with other sentient life – other creatures and nature in general .
The heart will regularly fill with love in appreciation .
3 ) Signs and synchronicity : especially as you expand into 5D consciousness , and you 're paying attention to the sense of flow through the moment , then you 'll manifest , and pick up , more signs and synchronicity , attuning beingness , guiding the way and affirming you 're on an aligned path .
4 ) @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you connect more into the mainstream of the soul , the flow within is going to pull on buried fragments of soul that are still stuck in karmic density and interconnected with the old paradigm .
So you might feel light one moment , but then suddenly dredge up karma to be worked through .
5 ) Pulled in two different directions : we 're right in the middle of the “ Inflexion Point ” between the Old Paradigm and the New .
Many around you will be stuck in the old densities @ @ @ @ @ @ @ still holding into fixed relationships , yet the soul is wanting to realign them .
Hence feeling pulled in different directions .
To read on for the remainder…21 Symptoms of The 5D Earth Shift How Do Your Raise Vibration ?
To Ascend into the 5th Dimension/Density ( and beyond ) is to raise your vibration , meaning to purify the lower bodily vehicles and integrate fragmented soul such that it reconnects you with the source through Full Kundalini Activation .
The Soul is then naturally drawn to embody and express within the higher @ @ @ @ @ @ @ soul that ascends .
In an Openhand lead article , I summarised what I feel to be the top 10 ways to raise the vibration .
Here are the first three and a link to the remaining seven… 1 ) Inner Inquiry : probably the first step is to become the observer of yourself – to be committed to witnessing yourself through all events and circumstances of your life .
This way , identification with the ego personality is internally challenged .
You start to know yourself more as the soul consciousness which @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is an essential step to begin the shift in vibration .
Trial this Ascension Meditation for Becoming the Internal Observer within the Shift 2 ) Formal Meditation & Spiritual Practice : after the initial soul connection it becomes essential to integrate more soul on a day by day basis .
And so regular daily meditation and spiritual practice become utterly essential .
Especially apply pranic breathing meditations and spiritual practice that challenge identification with the ego identity and help you attune more to the soul .
Sample this Breakthrough Breathing Meditation for Deeper @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the soul infuses through the various densities of existence through the chakras .
Where these get blocked , greatly determines your overall vibrational frequency .
So apply chakra attunement meditations on a regular basis to free up the movement of soul into and through the various densities .
This will help expose attachments in the external , that you may release them .
Here is a suggested Chakra Attunement Meditation The Top 10 Ways to Raise Your Vibration in Earth 's 5D Shift Why is it Important to Begin the Ascension Process ?
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ why is it necessary to embark on the Ascension process ?
A great shift is underway by our Mother Gaia into the Middle Realm of the 5th , 6th , and 7th densities .
It 's a process designed to reclaim and realign her from thousands of years of derailing intervention , where an ET Opposing Consciousness has sought to suppress and control .
We see this evident in the manipulative control system we 're living in , the excessive consumption and systematic disregard for the well being of other sentient life here @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a similar convergence that led to the sinking of Atlantis some 12,000 years ago , which many here still contain in their karma to process .
To me , this one feels like it will be much more conclusive and complete , in terms of our 3D reality .
This great purification , or Great Realignment as I term it , is designed to completely cleanse the earth of the Intervention and the karmic construct of the Old Paradigm .
And so the invitation , the compulsion , is to progressively untangle from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ draw of the soul to raise your vibration and shift into the New Paradigm as it unfolds in the years ahead of us .
A marvellous new reality awaits , one of co-creative harmony , joyful alignment with the natural flow of the universe , and unconditional love for all life .

We 're about to witness the most tremendous transformation imaginable , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Humanity is set to reclaim his/her rightful place as newly reborn Cosmic Divine Beings , what I 'm given to call DIVINICUS , the divine-human .
My encouragement is to begin .
And if you already have , then to deepen the inquiry .
You 're embarking on the journey of your existence !

What exactly does it mean to be ‘Ascending into the 5th Dimension' and how do you know if you're ascending?
Ascension has become a hot topic of late, especially as we sail into climate crisis and as the infusion of galactic energies transforms Gaia and the Solar System. There's much misunderstanding that needs to be clarified. For example, we don't ascend to a ‘dimension', rather a density, and not just one, but a range, in this case, the 5th, 6th and 7th densities, where the new form of the divine-human, DIVINICUS, is taking shape.
Ascending into Dimensions or Densities?
First, let me clarify that I'm sharing from direct personal experience having worked as a facilitator/guide through plenty of previous such shifts, including that which happened on Sirius 120 million years ago and at the conclusion of the Atlantis epoch here on Earth some 12,000 years ago. That said, it's always essential to form your own viewpoint from what resonates with you. Ascension to the Fifth Dimension is something that can be theorized but must then be realized in your own way for it to become real for you.
Plenty speaks of the Ascension into the 5th Dimension – is that actually possible and real? In my observation, dimensions have become confused in the science here with densities of existence. Briefly, in the physical density, where your body resides, you need three dimensions to define your location: x,y,z. And then science speaks of the 4th dimension as being that of time. Yet we know that linear time is an illusion, everything is moving together in the one moment of now, the space-time-continuum is constantly morphing and reshaping, but since everything moves together, then at this moment, there are elements of future-landing-now and the past being reconfigured. It's like a huge jigsaw constantly producing a new picture, but in each new configuration of the moment, a different variation, iteration, of the previous one.
Hence it's much more useful and beneficial to speak in terms of ‘densities of existence' rather than dimensions; a density being a frequency of vibration in which a particular material form exists. Your phsyical body resides in the 1st density, the emotional in the 2nd, the mental in the 3rd, the karmic in the 4th. And that's where humanity currently resides, processing out the karma, so as to be able to ascend. It's not like you have to effort this. In fact by removing the internal efforting, the struggle in trying to overtly rationalise or control the lower densities, the soul naturally ascends and takes on new bodily form in the higher densities of the 5th, 6th, and 7th. What we might also call the ‘Middle Realm'.
And to be clear, it is your soul that is ascending NOT the body. Plenty in the spiritual mainstream speak in terms of the body ‘raising vibration into the 5th dimension'. To me this is a definite misunderstanding. The body is configured of 1st density energy, designed to sit within that frequency of being within the Universal Torus. If you put 5th density vibration all through your physical cells, then it would likely explode!
What happens is that as we purify the lower density vehicles from toxification, through spiritual work, then the soul integrates and can flow more freely. The natural cycle of kundalini activates forms a reconnection with the source and the soul then begins to shift into the higher dimensions – the higher densities. For example, the soul brings alive, animates, the higher mind in the 5th density and the spirit light body of the 7th.

So you might feel light one moment, but then suddenly dredge up karma to be worked through. 5) Pulled in two different directions: we're right in the middle of the “Inflexion Point” between the Old Paradigm and the New.

The Top 10 Ways to Raise Your Vibration in Earth's 5D Shift
Why is it Important to Begin the Ascension Process?
Some people on the spiritual journey ask why is it necessary to embark on the Ascension process? A great shift is underway by our Mother Gaia into the Middle Realm of the 5th, 6th, and 7th densities. It's a process designed to reclaim and realign her from thousands of years of derailing intervention, where an ET Opposing Consciousness has sought to suppress and control. We see this evident in the manipulative control system we're living in, the excessive consumption and systematic disregard for the well being of other sentient life here.
In 2012 at the galactic alignment, Gaia shifted and centred her consciousness in the 5th density. Since that time, if you reflect back, much has changed on the planet, especially in terms of elevation of consciousness. More and more people are coming awake. And this is to do with the onset of a galactic superwave trigger, which is changing the atmospheres of all the planets in our solar system, including our sun, the Solar Logos. We're venturing into a convergence of galatic, solar and earth transformations, leading to what some are calling the next Solar Nova Event, where a burst of galactic energy takes our sun into a micro nova, then precipitating dramatic earth changes brought on by a culminating Pole Shift
Here is the Process of Transformation from 3D to 5D Earth
In my knowing, it was a similar convergence that led to the sinking of Atlantis some 12,000 years ago, which many here still contain in their karma to process. To me, this one feels like it will be much more conclusive and complete, in terms of our 3D reality. This great purification, or Great Realignment as I term it, is designed to completely cleanse the earth of the Intervention and the karmic construct of the Old Paradigm. And so the invitation, the compulsion, is to progressively untangle from the old reality and allow the natural draw of the soul to raise your vibration and shift into the New Paradigm as it unfolds in the years ahead of us. A marvellous new reality awaits, one of co-creative harmony, joyful alignment with the natural flow of the universe, and unconditional love for all life.
Reborn as Cosmic Divine Beings
As monumental as this may all seem, especially if you're exploring it for the first time, these are tremendously exciting and adventurous times to be alive. We're about to witness the most tremendous transformation imaginable, both for the Earth and within ourselves. Humanity is set to reclaim his/her rightful place as newly reborn Cosmic Divine Beings, what I'm given to call DIVINICUS, the divine-human.
There is no time to waste in engaging the process, this inner journey of soul revelation. Based on my experience of working with people around the world, it's simply the most revitalising, rejuvenating and rewarding process imaginable. It feels like you're coming back to yourself, and back to the loving embrace of the Universe. You feel like you belong. Come home, arrived!
My encouragement is to begin. And if you already have, then to deepen the inquiry. You're embarking on the journey of your existence!

Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of the two primary and naturally occurring compounds in the cannabis plant. The other one is tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). One of the main differences between CBD and THC is in their reaction with the cannabinoid receptors in the human body, which is responsible for various physiological implications.
THC has high psychoactive properties that induce a high feeling among its users. On the other hand, CBD is not psychoactive, hence doesn’t cause users the high feeling. CBD can even neutralize the THC effects, reducing psychoactive effects.
The calming properties of CBD make it suitable for both medical and recreational usage, especially those who need the benefits of cannabis. CBD products are available in different forms – swallowing, chewing, eating, and drinks. You can also find it in capsules, energy drinks, chocolates, cakes, coffee and tea, gummies, cookies, and fruit bars.
That being said, read on to discover how CBD can help in your everyday life.
1. Reduce Workout Inflammation
Physical fitness is recommended for anyone who desires to live a fulfilling healthy life. Experiencing some pain after rigorous exercises is common. Although your muscles can naturally heal, using CBD can relieve the pain and increase the healing process, allowing you to keep you going with your routine practices. Thus, physically active individuals can use CBD to alleviate muscle pain and inflammation after workouts.

2. Boost Gut Health
Medical studies have shown the role of CBD in boosting the activity of the gut system. By improving digestion, CBD helps the body make the most of ingested food. For people experiencing stomach bloating and swelling, CBD can also stimulate a calming effect.
CBD activates cannabinoid receptors to reduce gastric motor activity and the secretion of gastric acid. CBD also derails the build-up of gastric mucosal lesions that result from pylorus ligation and stressing factors.
By obstructing the secretion of inflammation-causing enzymes, like cyclooxygenase, cannabinoid protects users against intestinal inflammation and gastrointestinal damage.
3. Improved Skin Health
Inflammation conditions, genetics, and bacterial can cause acne – a common skin condition that can affect the back, chest, shoulder, neck, and face. The condition occurs when sebaceous glands secrete high levels of sebum.
Since it has anti-inflammatory properties that reduce the production of excess sebum on the skin, CBD can help address such conditions. CBD induces buildup of inflammatory cytokines, which are known as pro-acne agents, fighting off acne and improve the look of the skin.
CBD can also help moisturize the skin from the drying effects of hot weather conditions. CBD oil products have moisturizing and anti-inflammatory properties that can bring a healing effect on your skin. This is because CBD contains nutrients that heal skin cracks, speed recovery to cuts, soften and smoothen rough patches, and protects the skin from peeling.
4. Improving Sleep Patterns
Your body needs adequate sleep to optimally function. Sleep also determines the effectiveness of your mind.
Unfortunately, for some people, it may be difficult to get a good sleep even when you have plenty of time to rest. Sleep disorders arising from the inability to sleep and sudden sleep interruptions without the ability to get back to sleep is a popular sleep condition affecting a large of people today. It can leave you feeling exhausted throughout the day.
Using CBD products, like full-spectrum CBD gummies, can help stabilize irregular sleep patterns and insomnia-related conditions. A medical research reveals CBD’s ability to improve the performance of brain receptors that control the circadian rhythm–sleep-wake regulatory process. CBD also relaxes the brain’s nerves that are responsible for sleep patterns, inducing the freshness required for healthy sleep.
5. Manage Stress And Anxiety
Stress and anxiety are a common phenomenon that can arise from different situations and can lead to physical and mental depletion. If you spot signs of anxiety disorder , turning to CBD can help you modulate the situation.
Serotonin is a monoamine neurotransmitter responsible for cognitive function and mood regulation. Adequate levels of serotonin activate a swift response in stressful and anxiety situations. CBD can boost levels of serotonin, hence protecting you from stress and anxiety
Final Thoughts
CBD can help reduce muscle pain and speed the healing process of inflammation that results from physical activities. It can also boost gut health by improving the digestion process and protecting the gut against the formation of intestinal inflammation. Cannabinoid moisturizing and healing properties can heal the skin from acne conditions.
The role of CBD in improving the performance of the circadian rhythm process can improve sleep patterns. Lastly, CBD improves the production of serotonin responsible for improving the mood of the body and inducing a calm effect on stress and anxiety.
