Channeling

As we learn to love one another, we come to realize that, in their purest forms, all religions teach the same basic spiritual truths: It is only the different ways we express them that divides us. Each system of belief has a different piece of the puzzle, and ultimately, to heal our communities and our world, we will have to fit these different pieces together and realize the essential truths that connect us all as one. In order to allow this to occur, we must open our hearts to hear beyond language and to expand in our understanding.

To me, the term “channeling” is best described with the metaphor of a television. We all know that television shows are constantly running through our airwaves whether we are tuning in or not. Once we turn the TV on, we have a choice of what channel we will tune into. Tuning into one does not stop the other broadcasts from existing, they are just simply not in our awareness at that particular time.

Similarly, when I tune into Spirit, there are various levels, or “channels,” through which I experience the messages. In its simplest form, this is best described as inspiration, creativity, or intuition. I simply allow myself to open my own knowing and, in surrender, allow God’s grace to flow through me. My experience and understanding is easily expressed from this place of higher consciousness. I am fully aligned with my Spirit and focused on my intentions with an open heart. This is the level that I strive to live from in my daily life so the vibration when I am speaking from this state is very similar to me simply talking in a casual conversation. You could say I am 'in the Zone' at this level of surrender. It is my intention to live from a space where this is my natural state.

As I surrender deeper, I begin to hear and see the spiritual realm of angels and ascended masters that are here to assist us. Universal energy, vibrational information, and nonphysical beings surround us at all times. A person who channels consciously opens up to receive and translate this nonphysical information, allowing us to gain a deeper understanding of our life circumstances. This is where the metaphor of the television really comes into play. There is so much more in existence than what we see and hear with our physical senses. Even in the simplest terms we know that animals hear sounds that we cannot hear. Basic science has proven energy fields exist that we are not aware of with our five senses. In this state I simply 'change the channel' to tune into the vibrations that are not commonly recognized by our lower senses. We all have the ability to see, hear or sense beyond our common senses. It simply takes intention, focus and openness to do this. The guided meditations that I offer are an effective way to open to the vibrational world of spirit. In this sense there are many energies that we can witness. Spirit Guides and loved ones who have crossed over are accessible to us through this openness. When I refer to Spirit Guides I am referring to the energies that are here to guide us on our journey. This includes the Angelic realm, though every religion has a name for them, they are beings of love who are here to guide us. The Angelic realm moves through a different evolution and therefore they have not typically lived on earth. Also in this category I include the Ascended Masters. In My understanding, Ascended Masters are beings of light who lived on earth, woke up from the illusion of separateness and Ascended into one-ness with All That Is. Drawing on their energies and teaching from within that one-ness we are able to access their guidance in the process of remembering our one-ness. When working with Beings of Light at this level of surrender I communicate with the Spirit Guides receiving both visual and audible messages. I then describe what I see and hear to others in third person, drawing my teachings from the guidance of these loving spirits.

When I begin to move to an even deeper level of surrender with the Ascended Masters that I journey closest with , I completely give myself over as a pure vessel for ascended master teachers to use in order to get their message to the world. I simply stepp aside and allow them to speak through me. In this case, they speak in the first person. Initially, I experienced a noticeable vibrational shift in my body as the Ascended Masters entered and spoke through me. I was still present. It was as if we were sharing the body but they were in primary control, I was in a sense overseeing the process as it was my body being used as the vessel. I was able to listen and when necessary carry on a secondary conversation with the Being while he or she was doing the teaching. Often I was learning from the teachings even as they were being spoken through me.

As I continue to expand my own understanding and expression of love on earth I increase my own vibrational level. This is done not with an intention to vibrate at a higher level as much as an inner drive to grow, to understand myself, to love unconditionally and to become the purest reflection of God on earth that I possible can be. I have faced many powerful lessons on my path of awakening. I face each lesson with love, passion, an open heart and yes sometimes resistance and struggle. My deepest Passion is to see Heaven and Earth vibrating as one. That starts with me. As I vibrate in oneness the world around me reflects that. So my choice is always to move forward in love. As a result I have come to expand my remembrance of my one-ness with God the Creator of All That Is, The Alpha and Omega. As I learn to expand my consciousness to the union of the Alpha and Omega I am enveloped by a depth of understanding that no words can fully express. Yet, as I have stated my passion is to help others reach that bliss of remembering their union with All That Is. In order to do that I draw on the vibration of the Ascended Masters who have gone before us to assist in this teaching. In this state, it no longer feels as if I am stepping aside to let others speak through me but merely expanding my consciousness to include the space in which these beings can speak within me, bringing forth the message of universal love which is the truth within all of us.

These messages that I offer are of Divine love, Unconditional Love, Universal Love. The message is beyond the language. In order for us to support and guide each other on our spiritual paths to that space of fully living in the remembrance our Union with God we must use language. I use the words that bring me clearest understanding. I use the stories of ascension that are most familiar to me. I tap into the vibrations of Love that resonate most closely to me. Whether Isis or Magdalene or simply love itself, then, I ask that you open your heart to receive the message of Love that exists beyond language and names.

The Magdalene Project

I want to take a minute to explain the 'Magdalene Project'. It is an inspiration that came through my beloved sister Magdalene. I was recently asked to Channel Mary of Magdalene for the People of Glastonbury England. As many of you know there is a lot of rich history in Glastonbury England and many believe that it is one of the places that Magdalene traveled after the ascension of her beloved. The presence of Magdalene is very strong on this sacred land. I have worked with Magdalene for many years now. The night that I channeled Magdalene to the listeners of Glastonbury was very magical and if you listen closely to the recording you will even hear the chimes of the cathedral in the background.

My guidance had been telling me that the channeling in Glastonbury would be a gateway to many. I had no intention of taking on a 'project' of getting that message to the masses. When I recorded it I simply placed a hand held recorder next to me just in case I wanted to share it with someone later...it appears spirit had other ideas. When I returned home from England I went on with my life as usual... balancing life as a mother and spiritual teacher. I was not really thinking much of the recording until one morning when I woke up to my Sister Magdalene's excitement as she told me to put the recording on the podcast and let the world hear it. That was easy... it was what she said next that felt a bit overwhelming. She wanted 10,000 people to hear this before 2010. I said ' you mean 1,000 right?' She smiled at me and repeated '10,000'. That was the beginning of the 'Magdalene Project' as I have now begun to call it. The idea is that I make it available and tell the networks that I am already connected to about it.. then it is up to the message..

If it touches the hearts of the people who listen they will spread the word for others to hear. It is such a beautiful message of love I can not imagine the people who listen to it will not be touched by it. I am simply the messenger. That is not to say that I am not a part of the message. I have walked closely with both Magdalene and Isis for a very long time and as some of you know my life walk is much closer to the path that Magdalene walked than I would have imagined when I started working with her. Her message... or our message... is about love. It is about finding our own path to divine love.. seeing that within ourselves and learning to walk with the reflection of love in each other. It is a message of embracing life with passion... walking through our fears and learning to love unconditionally. In truth we are all one and so the message of Magdalene is the message of every soul on this earth.

As we move through these next few months of working together to spread this universal message of love to the world, I will write blogs about the process.. sharing the responses of the people as well as my own journey. It has been a beautiful and intense journey that led me to this point that you are all seeing. I will share with you the day I began working with Magdalene ... the things she helped me with... how we grew together in sisterhood.. when I opened to Isis and her connection to Mary. I will share with you messages from my heart as well as the messages I receive from spirit. So if your heart is pulled by this message lets work together to share it with the world.
