Our channeling sessions continue to ramp up and get more powerful each week. The session of July 20, 2011 included Fred saying, “This is the most important question we have ever asked you,” and the Matriarch saying, “You were here the night it all changed.” Wow!

The Guardians: Led us in an exercise to practice bringing our soul’s perspective into our bodies. “Allow the awareness of your surroundings to be drawn into your physical body.”

The Visionaries: (YouTube video below) Summarized their teachings. Laid the foundation for the rest of the meeting. “A fresh perspective on the physical.”

Eloheim: The Council’s focus at this time is to help you integrate your soul’s perspective. Answered many questions from the group about the ways they are connecting to their soul’s perspective. Follow up on the conversation from the previous meeting about aging parents.

The Girls: Clarified an idea that Eloheim had a hard time putting into words using car and gambling metaphors! (That doesn’t happen every day) “We feel you on the edge of a big jump.” Explained how The Council sees our energy and how they use what they see to help us.

Fred: “You are dancing on the edge of uncertainty and surprise. Look for places in your life where you are uncertain so that you can dance in them. Can you dance and delight in uncertainty and surprise? We have never asked you a more important question.”

The Warrior: “Go back to, ‘What is my current truth?’ in the long journey of surprise. Seek the truth of the truth of you, it’s a good companion.”

Matriarch: “You were here on a night when everything changed. You can’t turn back the tide of this energetic shift.”

We had a great Q&A with Eloheim this month. The theme that developed was: Relationships. Continue Reading…

It’s Tool Tuesday! Today’s entry – Velcro, Don’t have Velcro for that!

Velcro has two different sides, a loop side and a hook side, and it only works if you have both sides. We want you to not have Velcro for the judgments of others. Don’t have Velcro on your side. Just don’t have it.

You have silver hair. If we said to you: “Wow, you have ugly black hair.” Your response would be, “I don’t have black hair.” You have no Velcro for that judgment.

If, however, we said, “Wow, you have ugly silver hair,” it might be more challenging to not have Velcro for our judgment. But, it’s still your choice. Use your free will to decide.

Another important place to look for Velcro is in your judgments about yourself. When you stop having inner Velcro for your inner judgment about yourself, it makes it much easier to not have Velcro for the judgments of others.

This tool is very important. Ask yourself, “Do I have Velcro—even empathically—do I have Velcro for it?” And you do. But you don’t need to. Now that you’re alerted to that, you can re-evaluate whether or not you want to have Velcro on any subject.

As a sensitive, psychic, empathic, channel, etc., I was a walking Velcro strip. Not only in the ways that Eloheim describes here, but with the feelings of others. I really got this tool and have used it countless times. When I realize I am picking up on others’ energy I can say, “Don’t have Velcro for that.” And then shift to What is true now? to check in with what I am actually experiencing.

Velcro is a nifty tool. I use it to bring awareness of issues that need my immediate attention. It’s fun to see where issues that once had Velcro no longer do.

Today’s installment in our Sharing Sundays series is from Joey. His sharing is all about how he uses his favorite Eloheim tools.

I use short factual statements ALL THE TIME. I think this one just fits like a puzzle piece because I naturally talk to myself – ALL THE TIME. So it’s not so far of a stretch in behavior; it’s just more conscious. They are especially helpful when I am experiencing something that I don’t like, because I can quickly state a preference after my first statement.

I find that I am using “I am ready to interact with my creation” often. It feels empowering and reminds me to be conscious of the reality of what’s going on.

I switched up the mantra, I Am In Financial Flow and Money Comes To Me In Infinite Ways. I just use “Money Comes To Me In Infinite Ways.” It’s tacked onto my cork board.

I’m quite fond of the Circle Of Possibilities tool. It feels so specifically like a healing, comforting tool for me, so even the idea of being mean doesn’t come up when I’m using it. I just think it’s fun, like a game. I apparently believe that artists can’t earn a good, stable living. That was for the most part pretty unconscious until I drew the circle and started figuring out what to put into the pie pieces. It just pulls things out. I’m also a visual person, so that helps -although I can just speak it out aloud as well and that works too.

I use other tools all the time, but not so directly. I was just saying to myself today that the coolest thing about these tools is that they almost become unconscious – that is, they become second nature and therefore the “trying” aspect just goes away. Even if I’m having a crappy day, I know that I can shift anything – I mean really “know” it and not just from an intellectual view point…this was SO not the case even a year ago Just knowing that I can shift anything really clears my head.

Powerful session! So many amazing ideas are covered in this recording:

The Guardians: Allow yourself to know you’re part of the all, part of the one. Let yourself fully embody the part that you have decided to experience. The ascension path connects you to your body more deeply. The physical is the pathway to Homo spiritus.

The Visionaries: (YouTube video below) Profound description of “oneness.” A review of service mentality: Are you reaching over the “big issue” in your life to tell someone else how they should be living?

Eloheim: Reveled in how powerful the Visionaries’ message was. Reviewed and clarified the idea that “it can’t be happening in your external world unless it’s true in your internal world” using the example of the Rupert Murdoch news organization hacking into cell phone records. How to apply the “Go to the bathroom” tool when you find yourself in a conversation full of judgements. Reviewed the “10 things” tool with an example from the group about how well it is working. Eloheim closed their section with an AMAZING talk about aging parents, our “heart’s desire” for a good mommy, how we can be a good mommy for ourselves, and how we can release mommy and daddy from the role that they were never able to fill.

The Girls: “Since you are always looking for growth, it is really easy to find places where you wish you were parented differently. Nurture yourself. What can you do in this moment to help you with the desire for a feeling of being nurtured?”

Fred: “We feel an embraced, supportive, loved, I see you, energy in the room.”

The Warrior: Talked about his love for his wife Marianna and described her strength. Spoke about leadership, “True leaders know the truth of themselves.”

Matriarch: “Energetically you all feel like you are within ’embracing distance.'” Summarized the meeting and expressed gratitude to the group.

On 7-12-2011 I was interviewed on the Every Day Connections program. This was a fun interview and one of the only interviews I’ve done where I didn’t channel! We talked a lot about how I have applied Eloheim’s teachings in my life. We discussed other spiritual concepts as well.

Today I have the second installment of our new series, TOOL TUESDAY! Follow this link to read the first installment, Candle Wax (Nobody gets your wax).

Today’s tool is one of my favorites.

Who answers the door? The 2011 version of you

A practical example:
The ex-boyfriend is banging on the front door, you go to answer it but you don’t want to talk to him—ask yourself, “Who answers the door?”
Does the four-year-old who’s looking for her daddy’s approval answer the door? Does the 20-year-old who just wants a boyfriend because she doesn’t want to be alone answer the door? Does the 40-year-old who doesn’t want to be divorced answer the door? Or does the you of the now that knows that guy shouldn’t be in your life answer the door? Who answers the door? You decide that.

This tool is empowering because you say, “OK, I’m not bringing the 4-, 20-, or 40-year-old into this. The 2011 version of me knows that I no longer want this guy in my life. The 2011 version of me can say, ‘No’.” The 4-year-old probably wouldn’t be able to say no because the 4-year-old’s still looking for daddy to make it right, and the 20-year-old still feels like she did something wrong, so she’s going to have a hard time saying no, the 40-year-old’s feeling like he might be her last chance at love, so she’s not turning him away.

But in the moment where you bring your high-vibrational self together and you look at that person and you say, “In this moment, with who I am right now, this situation is not OK, and you need to leave. Off you go. The door’s getting locked behind you.” And then you turn the ringer off on the phone and you just sit with the fact that you actually made a decision based on who you are today. That’s where you give yourself the gift of being who you are today and living your life from who you are today, rather than allowing all baggage from the past or projecting into the future.

Using this tool with family members:

A lot of times, when you’re working with biological relatives, the stuff that you’re learning about is the stuff from when you were five. However, now you’re 40 and you’re still doing your five-year-old shit oftentimes from a five-year-old’s perspective. Work on the issue when you’re 40 as a forty-year-old, rather than, “I’m 40 but I’m acting like I’m five, which I’ve been doing for 35 years with my mom.” This gives you a better chance of success, or a different chance of success, of actually learning and growing and becoming more of who you are.

Yes, you can say, “There’s something for me to learn here, but my God, me as a 40-year-old trying to act like an eight-year-old with my mom who is now 70, is not working.” It’s not working and you have the right to say, “I want to learn this some other way.”

This is loving yourself, giving yourself permission to set boundaries across your life. Set the boundaries you need to set in order to give yourself the best chance at learning what it is you desire to learn.

I remember so clearly the first time Eloheim talked about this tool. I was channeling in a living room facing the front door, so it was very visceral imagining the ex-boyfriend on the other side. I have used this tool time and time again in almost every sort of situation. Definitely one of my favorites.

I have used this tool, especially with my birth family members, where it was easy to slip into being a 10-year-old again. I no longer do that. I now respond and create from the person I am in the moment.

Today’s installment of Sharing Sunday is from Mary George. Mary’s name is familiar to anyone who has followed the Eloheim material. She is our resident “techie.” She sets up and breaks down the meetings, helps with computer problems, formats the digital editions of our books, and generally manages to sort out problems of all kinds of types. Today she shares how Eloheim’s teachings have helped her. To read the other installments in our Sharing Sunday series, click here,here, and here.

From Mary:

I had a very contentious and difficult end to an eleven-year relationship. I discovered she had been having an affair for several months. We did not end our partnership in a friendly manner, to say the least. Over the years since then, the pain slowly, very slowly, subsided—mostly, but not completely. It was a great puzzlement. I couldn’t come to any feeling of resolution, try as I might; the hard feelings and anxiety of bumping into her remained.

One day one of my fellow Eloheim compatriots suggested that I call my ex and ask her out for lunch. Oh my god!!! Fear ran through me. No way! I’m not going to do that!! What if…. She will… I’m not doing that!

After sitting with the proposition for a while, I started to apply the tools. First, what an awesome creation! I created this opportunity. Then, fear is a choice not a mandate. My fear never made sense to me, anyway, so I thanked it for the information, decided to ignore it, and see what else was there, since everything teaches me something.

I didn’t really come up with anything but I felt I needed to make the call. You can’t have change without something changing, right? I have wanted a change in the way I had felt about this relationship but I wasn’t doing anything about it. I wasn’t doing anything differently. So, here was my awesome creation asking, “So you want change? How about this?”

I called her, she didn’t answer, I left a message. Now what? I felt better, now the shoe is on the other foot, but what if she doesn’t call back? What if she does? Where we will meet? Hey, keep the past and the future out of it! Quiet the hamster-wheel mind and stay in the moment. What is true now? I wanted and needed insight from my soul about this. I didn’t want to think about it. So I waited and I waited and I waited, keeping my intention on insight.

Finally—aha! It came to me. I felt like a victim!! Wow, I absolutely did not see that! I understand the concept of victim hood. I have recognized the opportunity to feel victimized in my current experiences but I hadn’t seen how I felt victimized in that relationship. What a relief to finally see my awesome creation in a new way. My soul must have been doing cartwheels of joy after wringing every last drop of learning from that experience.

But wait, there’s still more to learn here. I reported my “aha” to Eloheim in a meeting. I was excited about my brand-new shiny “aha.” Eloheim was supportive, of course, and then they lead me down the path to another “aha.” I could feel them holding the energetic of the moment, of my victim hood. Aha! I realized I felt like I was “right” in the relationship, I felt like my position was the righteous one. How embarrassing is that?!

Next, I asked for insight about feeling right. I have created many opportunities in my life to look at judgments. The “aha” I have gotten so far is that my feeling “right” is at the root of it. What an awesome creation! D’oh, of course! Judgments say this is right, that is wrong. How could I have missed that?!

When I look back and compare me to me, I get a feeling of accomplishment for my work of increasing my awareness, of being conscious. I see how far I have come on the path to ascension. And I can relax, knowing that I have tools that assist me in the journey to Homo spiritus. I love this journey and I love me! Taking the time to compare me to me gives me the option of gratitude rather than embarrassment. I get to take a little break and bask it the light before soldiering on to the next lesson. I earned it.

Thank you, Eloheim and The Council for all of the tools to live a conscious life with grace, ease, and bliss!!

Our channeling session of July 6, 2011 was very unusual. During the previous weeks’ meeting, The Warrior asked everyone to write down their three favorite tools and to bring them to our 7/6/2011 meeting. We gathered up the lists and everyone chose one randomly with Eloheim choosing for the folks tuning in online. We then went around the circle with each participant talking about the list of tools they had received.

It was fascinating to see what tools were included and to hear everyone’s comments about how they are using different tools. A number of tools were new to some of the folks attending and they were all great reminders.

If you would like me to choose three tools for you to work with, email eloheimchannel@yahoo.com.

The Guardians: Talked about how the experience of having the meeting room doors open gives everyone an opportunity to practice focusing while more stimulated. They tied this to the new “10 things” tool.

The Visionaries: “The upcoming tool review exercise is not intended to put you into a mental space. It does not require obsessive or habitual thinking. Remember to connect to insight, to ‘What is true now?’, and ‘How am I being in this moment?’ Let’s have an exercise as Homo spiritus. Allow the most truth of you to be present. Come at this from a very fresh place!”

Eloheim: Major tool review! Also spoke about shadow: If you feel shame about it, then you are generating shadow. It’s up to you to make a different relationship to shame and a different relationship to the act that generated the shame. YouTube video below.

The Girls: Talked about the “Oh, yeah! There’s a possibility for me!” expansion energy they felt as the group did the tool review. Be in “Oh, yeah!”

Fred: Checked into the group’s crown chakras which act as the portal between the body and the soul’s perspective. Declared that they are, “Looking good!”

The Warrior: Spoke of their fascination about which tools the group picked for the review. “One of the main reasons we wanted you to look at the tools is so that we could look at your energy field as you look at them.” They saw the tools move through the Heart/Power chakra combination offering the opportunity to discover, “How does this tell me about me and how does this allow me to move the truth of me into the world?”

Matriarch:“You are becoming grown-ups in the Homo spiritus sense. You bring such a sense of your authentic desire to emanate the truth of you into the way you experience the world – energetic authenticity.”

Audio from all five sessions held in July, 2011

Here is a new offering! Today is Tool Tuesday! Each Tuesday I will provide the complete description of one of Eloheim and The Council’s tools. Today we have “Candle wax (Nobody gets your wax)”

This tool is based in an analogy: You are a candle. You can share your flame—your emanation—but you cannot give away your wax. Never, never, never, never. If you give away your wax, you give away yourself, and who you are is diminished.

If you’re a candle, you can light numerous other candles with your flame, but nobody gets your wax. On some level, we see you energetically very drained because your wax has not been precious to you. That core amount of what you need to make you go. That core amount of attention, of rest, of nourishment, of peace, of quiet, of meditation, of walking, dancing, whatever it is that you know feeds you as a person and keeps you whole. You’ve been letting pieces of those things go to other people because you thought, “Well, if they’re happy, I’ll be happy.” Or, “If they’re happy, at least I won’t be so distracted by their needs.” When the truth is, you’ve gotten yourself drained and you’ll get further drained.

So, you can step back and set boundaries. And boundaries don’t mean: “I don’t love you anymore.” Boundaries mean: “I have to love myself first, so I have extra love to give. I can’t give from this place. I have to give from a whole place.” Because if you keep giving from weakness, eventually you have nothing left. But if you set boundaries, you rejuvenate yourself.

The first step is to set boundaries so that the people you’re giving your wax to don’t get any more. And they usually throw fits, so you have to deal with that. They’ll call you selfish, typically. Or they’ll call you a bitch.

Without being in service mentality, you’re offering something extraordinary. Because you’re not doing it for other people, you’re doing it for yourself and there’s just overflow. It’s the candle. The candle is lit and the flame is giving off light. It gives off light whether you hide it in a closet or you set it on your windowsill. And when you love yourself well, it’s like putting the candle on the windowsill and the people who are driving by see the light as well.

You can give your flame to anyone because it still burns even when you share it with others, but when you start giving your wax away it’s all over.

Veronica writes:
This was one of the early tools and it is still very much in use. It is so very easy to get pulled into “service” and siphon off your wax. I know what that feels like and I am not going back there! It is such a joy to focus on emanating my truth and knowing that that is all the “service” I need to do.

***
Habitual response of codependency felt seamless until I heard this tool. My sense of global responsibility burdened me in a way I thought was my identity as a “responsible person.” I felt guilty about not being able to help all women feel safe, for instance. Imagining myself as a being who has limited physical shape (the candle as my body) with unlimited consciousness and intention (the flame), I saw immediately that the love and attention I choose to offer a situation flows from a source that is constantly renewable. When I have used as much of my physical energy to support my intentions as I have available, I must rest without shame. Actually, to rest with relish, enjoying the dreams that replenish insights and creativity.
—Margy Henderson

***
The candle wax tool is very good for me as I have a tendency to go out of my way to help others, sometimes to great lengths. So, the idea of sharing my flame and not my wax made very good sense to me. It’s helping me to be crystal clear on when I may be stepping over the line and when I need to reel it back in.

Rene Duer joins us once again to share her Astrological insights!

She wrote:

I was feeling Eloheim so deeply when I wrote this! There is getting to be no difference between what insight I gain from my contact with E and what I get from the planets!

Cancer Solar Eclipse – July 1, 2011

I don’t know about you, but it’s all I can do to stay connected to thought and language in a way that allows me to write. Working with the body has been a distinct and fascinating challenge these last couple of weeks. Staying centered emotionally has been interesting to say the least. The forces of chaos have been strong during this eclipse season. Everyone has been feeling the erratic rocking of the boat – some of us more than others. But right about now we’re all a little queasy and ready to move into calm waters. That is not going to happen quite yet. The final partial Solar Eclipse of this season at 9 degrees, 12 minutes Cancer forms at 1:55 am on July 1, 2011. This is the first eclipse in the new Saros cycle 156 and will only be visible as a partial eclipse from as very small corner of southern Antarctica. The Saros cycle will repeat every 18 years and will complete on July 14, 3237. So we are at the start of something very new and very big.

The last two eclipses occurred close to the Moon’s Nodes, making them quite powerful. This one occurs in Cancer and so has moved away from the Nodes (Gemini and Sagittarius). And while it is not attached to the nodes, it does re- activate the Cardinal Grand Cross that was put in play last year at the Summer Solstice. This activation began last week as the Sun moved into opposition with Pluto at the same time squaring Uranus in Aries and Saturn in Libra. Today, the Moon will move into position between the Sun and the Earth, eclipsing (albeit, only partially) the Sun, placing herself in opposition to Pluto, God of the Underworld and in square aspect to Uranus, God of Chaos and Saturn aka Cronus, Father Time, and the Grim Reaper. This is a major new beginning.

The Cardinal signs are interested in action. This is the next level of last year’s initiation at the Summer Solstice. In the past year, as a result of that activation, we have witnessed revolutionary and evolutionary changes on a scale that has not been seen since the 1960’s, when Pluto and Uranus last joined forces. At that time, Saturn opposed both Pluto and Uranus. The players have shifted positions but they are all back on the field with in a few degrees of exact aspect. The political, social and creative ideals of the 1960’s have not been consummated. They have been co-opted and shuffled to the back of the queue. As we have seen this year, demands for freedom, reform and evolution will not be silenced. The people of Earth and the Earth herself clamor for justice and balance. These forces will not be denied. This Eclipse heralds a time of even greater awakening, reform and creativity than what was seen in the 60’s. We need only recognize it and step over the threshold into a new reality; or as Eckhart Tolle so aptly put it – A New Earth.

The Sun’s opposition to Pluto requires us to look at our fears, our shadow, and our relationship to power: personal, societal and universal. What stands between you and your desires? Fear, static and unnecessary baggage must be cleared in order to realize the unlimited possibilities available to us. You must do this. We can no longer turn to our “leaders” and expect them to “get us out of this mess” – or to hear words of wisdom or truths from “them” about how to proceed. They clearly cannot help us. We simply cannot depend on the other guy to be conscious for us! The stakes just keep getting higher. We must master our relationship to power at the very first and most basic personal level by taking responsibility for ourselves.

Conscious awareness created transformation. That’s all there is to it! We can accept that or we can ignore it. We can face our fears and embrace our shadow in the name of love or we can wait for someone else to do it for us. The Moon loves the Earth and is our constant companion and friend. If our brave little Moon can go toe to toe with the God of the Underworld, the God of Chaos and Father Time – don’t doubt that you can do it. The Moon after all, has no light of her own. She is a satellite. You are a radiant being. Surely you will be able to dispel your own darkness. Don’t be afraid. Now is the time.
