TWO SACRED JOURNEYS by Phillip Elton Collins



 TWO SACRED JOURNEYS TO MT SHASTA

The co-founders of The Angel News Network have been led to initiate two sacred journeys to one of the most powerful portals/vortices on our planet: Mt. Shasta, located in Northern California.

The meaning, value and purpose of these sacred journeys were for us to serve as proxies for humanity in order to assist our planet and ourselves to evolve into a higher vibration/frequency of existence (our divine destiny).

While there have been many  spiritual journeys throughout our world history, ours were  unique missions to balance the masculine and feminine energies, giving and receiving and to join energies from above (archangelic) and below (Inner Earth).

The first journey took place mid-May, 2010 and the second mid-August, 2011. The high priest of Lemuria, Adama (Father of humanity) initiated these sacred journeys, with Archangel Michael creating specific locations and rituals to be performed upon this magical mountain. These rituals performed by us would affect our planet and peoples by increasing our vibrations, thus consciousness…moving us from the unhealed me to the healed we (consciousness).

The Angel News Network publication COMING HOME TO LEMURIA, AN ASCENSION ADVENTURE STORY, is a detailed narrative of the first mission. By reading this interactive reenactment, you become a proxy, as well.

The second journey was a merging of the first, connecting the original work done with the new. This allowed an activation of all energies.

Since these journeys were completed there have been many inner- connected dynamic portal/vortices openings/activation/shifts within our religions, governments, cultural,  and university structures throughout our world (12/12/12, 12/21/12, 12/25/12, etc).

Our planet and we within and upon her body are now experiencing the final 2,000 golden age cycle of ascension into a higher frequency of existence  eternally connected to Source and Oneness.

We are humbled to choose, as part of our soul plans, and to be chosen to be of World Serve during these extraordinary times.

The Light of Source Never Fails,

JOURNEY OF THE AWAKENED HEART: Introduction



JEFF FASANO, CHANNEL, AUTHOR, PHOTOGRAPHER AND CO-FOUNDER OF THE ANGEL NEWS NETWORK 



To my mom, Margaret Fasano, and my dad,
Thomas Fasano, my greatest teachers and my best friends.
To my brother, Tommy;
we made it through together.

Michael Speaks
We welcome you at this wonderful and most glorious time, as you are now ready to emerge into a new life of community, harmony, and equality. Whether or not you know it consciously, you have reached the point where you are ready, open, and available to all that is coming to you and to receive what you say you want. This is not necessarily anything outside of you that validates or gratifies you; it is something that resonates with you. You have previously moved through a healing process that enabled you to know who you are and why you are here. Some who are reading understand fully why you are here, and some of you are just getting a glimpse of it. The important thing is that you are ready to find within you the answer to where you are going out in the world.

As you begin the process of exploration in this book, we begin by asking: why are you here? Are you here to get something for yourself? Are you here to move out in the world to express your gifts and talents? Or are you here just to get by, endure life, and survive? In your heart, you know the answers and it is time to take the next step. You are here for the purpose of world service, and loving who you are and what you do is world service.

We, Michael, are simply a resonance, a vibration at a specific frequency, which emanates from the Archangelic Realm of Michael. We come to you with specific messages that are of this specific frequency. Each person vibrates at a certain level. Those who are attracted within the depth and breadth of their hearts to the frequency of this energy are singularly encoded with it. Thus, the frequency from your heart connects—or resonates—with the frequency of this energy from the Archangelic Realm of Michael. That is why you are attracted to reading, understanding, and feeling the energy of the words in this book.

The essence of this frequency and the message it is carrying are about making a journey from the core of your mind into the core of your heart. The twenty messages and lessons contained within this book are tools to be utilized while making this journey. As you commence reading the first message in Part One, “Who Are You?” you will begin a process of allowing your heart to become the guiding force of your life. For some, the shift in consciousness that makes this possible is gradual. For others, it is sudden. The process involves peeling layer upon layer of wounding from around your heart, until you have moved into the core of your heart and uncovered the essence of you, your truth.

As you release each layer of wounding that surrounds your heart, you will also raise the level of resonance and vibration within you. This is because each layer of wounding is filled with dense, lower-vibration energy, which simply represents what you learned in the past—during childhood and through trauma—about how to survive in the world and how you were conditioned. Peeling away these layers is the intention of this specific frequency and level of energy that emanates from the Archangelic Realm of Michael.

After you have completed the ten exercises in Part One, you will move on to the series of messages and lessons in Part Two, “Why You Are Here?” As you move along the pathway set forth for you, you will discover the talents and gifts you are here to give. The purpose of Part Two is to lead you to cross the threshold of a doorway of consciousness. By engaging in a discovery process, you will raise the level of vibration of the world and help to co-create a new world of harmony, community, and equality.

We, Michael, come as a level of energy of support and guidance for you on your pathway. We simply make suggestions through the wonderful and glorious soul (Jeff Fasano) who has made the choice to be the messenger (the channel) of this energy. This glorious soul is connected to the specific frequency within him that connects with our frequency, which enables him to impart our message. The frequency is consistent; it is the same for all who experience it. As this frequency moves through this messenger, the energy permeates your heart. Then, it is up to you how you choose to interpret it.

What is actually connecting with you—things uniquely yours—are the frequency in your own heart and the ways you utilize your five physical senses to interpret it. As the frequency of the Archangelic Realm of Michael penetrates the depth of your heart, it radiates outward to give you the impetus to commit to the teachings. It does not connect to your mental body whatsoever. It only connects with the frequency of your heart.

Introduction
As we have walked our pathways on the journey of self-mastery we’ve all been led to, we have read many books that have given us valuable information to think about, and we’ve been introduced to many spiritual tools to improve our lives. We have stored much of this information in our minds. Now, many of us are wondering, “What’s next? What do we do with all of the information?” Our next step is to bring what we have stored in our minds into our hearts, so that we may actually live from it.

The material in this book, Journey of the Awakened Heart, which was created by Michael for the mass awakening of consciousness in the world we are living, is intended to guide us step by step, each at our own personal pace, to move within our heart space. Many have found it life changing.

Lately have you noticed yourself saying?

"I want to move out of the old ways of  doing things that seem to get me nowhere.”

“I am in the same old place and still struggling in my life.”

“I want to move into abundance and enjoy my life.”


If these words sound familiar—meaning, if ending your struggle, moving into greater abundance, deepening your connections with others, finding fulfillment, and enjoying life is what you truly want, then developing a new approach to living is now of utmost importance. The crux of the matter is this: you have practiced the “old ways” your entire life. You cannot expect to embrace new ways without a similar degree of practice. Contained within these pages, therefore, are messages and lessons that will assist you in discovering a new, highly individual, and self-mastered way of life that is more enjoyable.

Making the commitment to move from the old approach to life into the new approach to life is what makes the transition entirely possible. That commitment you make, however, is to no one and nothing outside of you. It is a choice, pure and simple, to love yourself, express yourself authentically, and pursue only those experiences and activities with which, and the people with whom you resonate. Resonance is a term that describes harmonious vibrations. You are a vibratory being. This book, if it is in harmony with your essence, can facilitate the movement forward toward living the life you say you want, and loving yourself more than you ever have before.

Collectively, those of us for whom this material provided by Michael resonates have come now to a point in the world where we have the ability to make new choices. We can let go of looking outside of ourselves to get something “out there” to fill us up in order to feel validated. We know our deepest satisfaction comes from within us. We now have the capacity to give our unique gifts and talents to the world, and, through the giving, to realize our potential to create a new world of harmony, community, and equality. Yet, the only way this can happen in actuality is to transform within our selves.

As Michael has stated so eloquently on different occasions, those of us for whom this message is intended have come to the intersection of the old way of life and the new. We already know the old way of life doesn’t work, and it holds less and less attraction as time goes by for those of us who have been working on ourselves for these many years. But we’re also not yet ready to move forward and step onto the path into the unknown because we cannot feel yet the distinction between living a life based upon conditioning and living a life based upon the harmonious energy of resonant causation. Something has to happen here, at this juncture, that prepares us.

Journey of the Awakened Heart provides the tools we need so we can release the old habits, patterns, and rituals that hold us anchored in the old way of living. In detail, it shows us a path to follow that will enable us to begin to honor and value ourselves, and recognize our unique gifts and talents. If we follow this path, as Michael has so plainly illuminated it for us, at the end we may step confidently into the unknown.

Life is a process and so is this book. It is designed to uncover our essence so we can be who we are and freely express ourselves in ways we have only imagined thus far. A question to ask now is, “Am I ready to have the life I always say I want?” If so, then your journey to an awakened heart can begin right now.

JOEL'S JOURNAL: IT TAKES A WOMAN!

Joel D. Anastasi is a Spiritual Journalist and Author of The Second Coming, Archangel Gabriel Proclaims a New Age, Life Mastery and The Ascension Handbook.


                                      It takes a woman all powdered and pink
                                      To shine a bright light on political stink.

Apologies to my friend Jerry Herman for taking rather crude liberties with his wonderful lyrics from his blockbuster musical comedy, Hello Dolly!

Obviously, I’m no lyricist, but I couldn’t resist. For I am amazed at how spiritual prophecies about emerging transparency and the unmasking of corruption in political, financial, government and other systems seem to be manifesting everywhere. Not to mention spiritual predictions that a great balancing of the feminine energies with the masculine energies is unfolding which will loosen masculine control over the affairs of mankind in our world—healing separation with unity and conflict with cooperation.

One recent example occurred Saturday on MSNBC when I heard the female mayor of my home town of Hoboken, New Jersey, Dawn Zimmer, drop a bombshell when she told the disturbing story of how she was warned by a New Jersey state official that funds to bolster Hoboken’s defenses against another storm like hurricane Sandy were being blocked because Zimmer would not approve a major development project favored by New Jersey Governor Christie and his powerful developer friends.

Some eighty percent of Hoboken was flooded after hurricane Sandy in 2012, leaving residents without power, heat or water for over a week.  Since rail connections with New York were severed, I had to wait three days before ferry service to Manhattan resumed, which allowed me to take my un-showered body and a suitcase of half frozen food to shelter with friends in Manhattan.

Zimmer’s testimony comes on the heels of a growing scandal about the Christie administration allegedly creating huge traffic jams at the George Washington Bridge by closing traffic lanes as political payback to the Democratic mayor of Ft. Lee, NJ who would not endorse Christie in his re-election campaign for governor.

Another example of the constructive, healing influence of the female energy occurred recently in the U.S. Congress where female members got together and through “compromise”—a word many macho male members of Congress don’t seem to understand—worked out a congressional budget plan which is winning approval in Congress. It’s reported that these congresswomen have been engaging in the unthinkable—they’ve been having lunch and dinner together! Something the male congressmen of opposite parties consider verboten.

Archangel Gabriel told me when I was preparing my book, The Second Coming, Archangel Gabriel Proclaims a New Age, that high vibration energies were coming into the Earth plane to raise mankind’s consciousness and help us move into a new age of love and unity. He said the feminine energies would play a critical role in that unifying process.

Since then messages from the Archangel Michael, published on our Angel News Network Website, and statements by the Two Marys—Mary, the mother of Jesus and Mary Magdalene, Jesus’ twin flame—in my book, The Ascension Handbook, written with channel Jessie Keener, have confirmed the vital role the feminine is and will be playing in mankind’s spiritual transformation.

Of course, the feminine and masculine energies are not so much about sexuality as they are about states of being. We all have feminine and masculine qualities, and we each can choose to consciously develop and use them in our lives. The masculine is a directional force, taking charge and moving forward.  The feminine tends to be about process, considering all options and making sure everyone has a chance to be heard.

Carried too far the masculine can run roughshod over others, excluding them from the decision making process, often using fear to impose their will. Carried too far, the feminine can stay stuck, mulling over options, never making a decision. Clearly we can see how important it is to have a healthy balance of the masculine and feminine in the affairs of mankind. In fact, a consistent teaching from the spiritual realms is that until there is a balance of the masculine and feminine—loving process combined with wise action—mankind’s ascension, our coming together as one, will not happen.

I designed and conducted management development programs at all levels of corporate America for several decades. The best managers created open working environments where workers had an opportunity to process and share their opinions and participate in the decision making process. This creates healthy, motivating environments in which employees contribute the full measure of their gifts and talents which significantly contributes to the organization’s success. In contrast, controlling managers who impose their will and manage by fear tend to alienate the best talent and generally produce mediocrity and often failure.

Of course, it may not take a woman to bring a healthy balance to the affairs of mankind. But it will take a healthy balance of caring, inclusive feminine energy—whether it comes from a man or woman—together with an appropriate blend of masculine energy to heal the conditions that separate us and bring about the unity of mankind.

So, bravo, Mayor Dawn Zimmer and American congresswomen. You are in the vanguard of the feminine energy that is transforming mankind on Earth. You are demonstrating the fundamental difference between force, which the Two Marys say is from man, and power, which the Two Marys say comes from God.

It can’t come too soon. 

Joel D. Anastasi is currently teaching The Life Mastery Program in Ft. Lauderdale adapted from his book with Channel Jeff Fasano, author of Journey of the Awakened Heart based on the material from the Teachings of Archangel Michael.

ARCHANGEL MICHAEL OUTLOOK 2014 by Trance Channel Jeff Fasano


Archangel Michael 2014 Outlook




Channeled/Scribed by Jeff Fasano, 
Author of Journey of the Awakened Heart
Co-founder of The Angel News Network



From the Archangelic Realm of Michael this is Michael and We welcome you at this wonderful and most glorious time. You are now opening to the wonderful aspects of yourself as you move deeper into the depth and breadth of your heart space. You are now opening a new doorway as you move into your year of 2014.

It is now about moving to the fruition of your soul’s divine plan and your purpose and mission in this lifetime.

Many of you are continuing to tie up lose ends from your year of 2013 and crossing over into 2014. In 2013 many of you had come to a threshold. If you have tied up loose ends in your life, both in the physical third dimensional realm, within yourself and in your relationships, you have moved to a basis of truth within yourself, the being-ness of you. If you have done this you have moved to a threshold at the end of 2013 to move into 2014.

Your year of 2013 was a jumping off point into the opening of a new doorway. What will transpire in 2014 is the opening of a brand new doorway. In the first three months of 2014 for most of you, a new doorway will open. This will be a new doorway into the unknown. When this doorway opens there will be a question asked of you: Are you ready to fully step into your divine purpose and mission in this lifetime? Moving to another level of this and expanding it. Are you ready to move to another level of the life you are living? This will transpire in the first three months in 2014.

Your year of 2014 will be a year of moving “up the ladder”, where you will be taking gradual steps up that ladder. Many of you in 2013 were still weeding out the old and why we had asked you to tie up loose ends. It is important to tie up these loose ends so you can step into the new doorways that will be opening in 2014.

2014 will be broken into four three - month periods. A new doorway will open in each specific three - month period and this will be a new step up on the ladder into raising your resonance and vibration. You’ll be moving deeper within your heart to raise your resonance and vibration higher. Moving into the purity of the impeccability and integrity of the word and the purity of life. So We ask you: Are you telling the same old story? Are your relationships moving to a pure state where you are raising the resonance and vibration of the relationship? Or, are your relationships still moving along in the old? Is there an old story of the relationship? It is important you look at your relationships.

In the first three months, when the doorway opens, it will be important to look at with whom you will be walking through that doorway with. If you are looking at yourself honestly, truthfully, impeccably with integrity and asking all the questions we have been asking you to ask yourself, and looking at what needs to be tied up in your life, it is important to now look at your relationships. See in the relationships what needs to be tied up and what needs to be expressed. It is time to tie up the loose ends in your relationships if you are moving to higher levels in group consciousness and in your life individually. You are moving up the ladder with others in group consciousness now. And you are also doing this individually because of your individual modalities and endeavors that express who you are and the being-ness of you. You are then adding this to group consciousness.

It is important to look at your relationships because the first doorway that will open in 2014 will be a doorway to enter on the new pathway into the unknown with whomever choose to do this with. It is about the resonance and vibration of these relationships. Look at each individual relationship you are having with others. If you are choosing to walk through that doorway in these relationships make sure these relationships are open and truthful and the loose ends in these relationships are tied up. What needs to be expressed and what needs to be healed?

You are now moving into a higher vibration and resonance. As you do this the vibration and resonance becomes more pure as if moving into rarefied air, a rarefied resonance and vibration. It is time to look at the murmur of low vibrational energy that still exists in your life. Where are you holding onto the old story in your relationships? What are you holding onto that you need to release if in fact it is your decision to release it? By tying up these loose ends along with what is transpiring within you, you can connect with those who choose to raise the level of resonance and vibration in relationships and in group consciousness. So you can step on the pathway in the unknown to create to a greater extent your modality and what you are to give to the world in service to it and move to the next level in your soul’s divine plan and your purpose and mission in this lifetime.

Your year of 2014 will be broken into four three-month segments with four specific and crucial door openings on your way to the year of 2015. The year of 2014 is about raising resonance and vibration. Raising the resonance and vibration within yourself, in group consciousness and in collective consciousness.

In order to do this it is important to set firm intentions for 2014 in this first three month period. This will direct the will for life outside of you and where you want to bring your life. The clarity of the intentions, the clarity of your modality and your endeavor will give clarity for your life and yourself. Set these intentions individually and collectively. By being specific with a specific definition you direct your will for life and state to the universe what you intend to manifest in 2014.

Your year of 2014 is about raising your resonance and vibration. It about looking at the murmur of low vibrational energy in your personal relationships and in group relationships to see if this is hindering the group or your personal relationships.

2014 is about creating relationships. Moving into We Consciousness. This is why at the end of 2013 We asked you to look at your life and your relationships to tie up the loose ends in them. It is now about moving through the new doorway and creating new relationships in we consciousness. These new relationships are formed at a higher vibration and resonance, a purer resonance and vibration. So look at what may not be pure in your life. For it is now about releasing the low underlying murmur of low vibrational energy of what transpires in your relationships. In this first three-month period continue to do this because a new doorway will open in your third month of 2014.

As you move into the second three-month period in 2014 you will gain a clearer definition of yourself, your endeavors and your group endeavors. You will begin to connect with those who resonate and vibrate as you. Keep in my, look at your relationships and who you are connecting with now. Are they a reflection of your resonance and vibration? Or are you still murmuring and meandering in old relationships that you cannot release yourself from?

The second three-month period is about moving into a collective consciousness with others of like mind, like soul, like purpose and mission. It is about moving into a higher vibration and resonance into a greater collective consciousness with those outside of you.

In the third three-month period you will begin to form new relationships. Quite possibly new personal relationships and solidifying these relationships in relationship to your soul’s divine plan and your mission and purpose in this lifetime. You will be solidifying these relationships and making agreements in these relationships that will allow you to move to the next doorway together.

Each and every one of you is looking to form new relationships in we consciousness. In the microcosm(your personal relationships) and in the macrocosm, (your collective consciousness relationships). Your new group relationship is about forming a collective consciousness. This is why we ask the individual to look at their consciousness. Is the collective consciousness at a resonance of high vibration? Or is there a murmur of low vibrational (old story) resonance and vibration? It is about fine-tuning yourself to what is old to move into what is new. Releasing the old murmur of low vibrational resonance within you and the old story that you hold onto in your relationships as it is now. It is about clearing and cleaning house.

Your third three-month period is about solidifying relationships. Defining and refining them to move together through that new doorway.

The fourth three-month period as you come to the end of 2014, the mechanizations of your collective consciousness will be put into place in group consciousness. Each doorway is a doorway to a greater unknown. 2014 is about moving up the ladder. Each doorway is an opening to take a step up on the ladder. Moving and ascending within you and in collective or group consciousness. This is a year to affect the collective consciousness by raising the level of resonance and vibration of yourself and the group. It is time to look at your resonance and vibration.

This is what you can expect in your year of 2014 as you move along the pathway. It will be a year of transformation, truth, transparency, and authenticity. Greater truth will be revealed in your outer third dimensional realm in the old world of form. In your old political systems, government systems, social systems, corporate systems, truth will be revealed through transparency and authenticity. Yet it is about moving into the depth and breadth of your transparency and authenticity and your willingness to be transparent and authentic and truthful. This raises the level of resonance and vibration. In order to begin the entrainment of collective consciousness into the new of we consciousness, it is about entraining your nervous system to a higher vibration by releasing the old lower vibrational energies.

The year of 2014 is a movement into we consciousness and greater levels of it. We consciousness in your personal relationships and in your collective conscious group relationships. The only way this can transpire is when you connect with each individual and serve and support their highest good to raise the level of resonance and vibration. In 2014, look at how you relate to others. Are you supporting and raising their resonance and vibration? Or not? Are you continuing to look at what isn’t in the relationship, at what the individual isn’t doing? This is your story and thus stuck at that murmur of low vibrational energy. It is about holding up the mirror with those you are with and being open to receive this. By doing this you are holding their highest good in mind as others do this with you. Can you do this without defending?

2014 is another step up the ladder to raising your consciousness and awareness to yourself through transparency and authenticity with yourself. Are you speaking your truth to yourself? 2014 is a brand new step into we consciousness, collective consciousness for the good of the whole. Celebrate your individuality, your uniqueness, your individual talents and gifts, your modalities, and endeavors that express your mission and purpose individually in this lifetime. If you so choose you can take this into a collective consciousness with others.

Look at your attachments that still exist to your third dimensional world of form. What in the third dimensional world of form holds you in the low vibrational energy through your belief system? 2014 is a continuation of the clearing and cleansing process within you and in your third dimensional realm.

You will see various weather patterns that will greatly affect areas of your world through a clearing and cleansing process. What will transpire in your old third dimensional world of form is a clearing and cleansing process as well. You will be seeing transparent and authentic truth coming through in the old third dimensional world of form. All of this is about raising the level of resonance and vibration into a collective conscious, in we consciousness. This is what you can expect in 2014.

It is about raising the level of resonance and vibration in your individual process and raising it in your group consciousness and into the collective consciousness. Each specific doorway that will open in each three-month period will be an opening for you to step up the ladder. What will transpire is; many will make that choice and some will not. This doorway will only open at a specific time period and it will then close. Each doorway will remain open for a specific period of time and then it will close. Each and every one of you will energetically know when the doorway is opening. It will be up to you to walk through it. It will be shown to you in the third dimensional world of form. Opportunities will come to you that may just bring up your old wounding, your old defense patterns in each aspect of each doorway.

There will be those who choose to move through the doorway in the first three months. If you do make that choice and continue on the pathway into the unknown a new doorway will open in the second three months as it will in the third three month period and in the final period as well. Each doorway will have a specific period of time that it will remain open and then it will close.

This is why We ask you to tie up your loose ends to close those doors and lock them shut. As light workers and way showers you are being asked to “take it to another level”. In transparency and authenticity move into the being-ness of the light worker and the way shower. If in fact, in your soul fragment’s divine plan, your mission is to be a light worker and way shower in the truth of it, the transparency of it, the authenticity of it and in the being-ness of it, it is important that you are pure. It is important that your heart is open. It is important that if any old low vibrational murmur in relationships or anything in your life still exists, it now be scrutinized by you. Is this important in my life? Am I ready to release any of the old attachments and why am I still attached to that in relationships? Clean your slates dear ones for your year of 2014 is upon you.

LIFE MASTERY: Trust Yourself





LESSON EIGHT

 TRUST YOURSELF

INTRODUCTION

The lectures and exercises in this program have taken you deeper into your heart, a safe resting place where you can build trust in yourself. You have been building trust in yourself as you have

      . generated your list of accomplishments;

      . focused on the glass half full—what you have rather than what you don’t have; and

      . stopped looking outside yourself for others to define who you are and what you should be doing with your life.

I. HONOR AND VALUE YOU

Building trust in yourself requires that you honor and value you. So we ask you:

      . How do you feel about you?

      . What do you honor and value about you?

      . What is it about your gifts and talents that have meaning and value?

      . What do you do to love you, to give support to your highest good?

      . What are you giving to you so you can be you?

      . What keeps you looking outside of you for validation and gratification?

Many of you are still looking outside of yourselves for confirmation that who you are and what you are doing are acceptable and worthwhile.

EXERCISE ONE

MIRROR EXERCISE

PART ONE

The mirror exercise reveals deeper aspects of who you are. As you look at your reflection, thoughts and feelings may surface revealing how you have been conditioned.

Close your eyes. Imagine walking down a pathway into your heart and resting comfortably in you. 

When you get to this place, breathe deeply three times as follows: 

Hold the breath for five seconds.

Release the breath through the throat and mouth with the strong sound of ahhhhh.

After the third time, become fully present, open your eyes, and do the following mirror exercise:

PART TWO

The mirror exercise is best done in the nude. Do this exercise several times during the next week.

1. Stand naked in front of a mirror. Look directly into your eyes for five seconds. Then spend several seconds scanning your body from head to toe. Repeat the breathing exercise.

      Looking in your eyes, ask:

      . Who am I?

      . What am I feeling at this moment?

      . What is it about me that I love?

      . What is it about me that I am still shaming and judging?

      . Can I accept my feelings and have compassion for myself?

      . Am I ready to live my life for me?

2. At the end of this exercise, write down what you feel when you look at yourself in the mirror naked.

      Many of you may react to this exercise with fear.

      Many of you may respond with shame and judgment.

      Others of you may enjoy looking at yourselves.

      Be with the feelings that come up.

3. Each day after you do this exercise, write down what you shame and judge about yourself and how you feel about it. Make a separate list.

      Ask: 

      . Who is judging and shaming me?

      . Who is not seeing my divine essence?

      . Can I accept where I am and where I shame and judge myself?

4. Negative thoughts that shame and judge you are products of your conditioning, what you have been taught. Consider your answers to the above questions. Then ask:

      . Whose voices are these?

      . What did they teach me?

      . Do these teachings resonate for me now?

      . Can I accept with compassion where I am in this moment?

      . How has my conditioning influenced the relationship I am having with my self?

      . How has my relationship with my self influenced my relationships with others?

It is important to use the mirror exercise whenever you shame or judge yourself. It will help you move away from the influences of negative conditioning and will be the jumping-off point for moving toward the life you say you want.

PART THREE

The mirror exercise helps you move to new depths of intimacy within so that you can begin to receive love from yourself.

A good place to begin receiving love from yourself is to begin giving love to your inner wounded child.

      . Close your eyes, move into your heart, and imagine your inner wounded child.

      . When the child comes to you, look in the child’s eyes for a few moments and be with your
        feelings.

      . Ask your inner child, “What do you need in this moment?”

      . After the child answers, ask yourself, “Do I love this child enough to give the child what it
        needs in this moment?

      . This is your opportunity to begin healing your inner child by giving you the love your inner    
        child needs.

      . Begin to give and receive love from you.

At your next group sharing, share your experience with the mirror exercise, what you learned, and how the experience made you feel.We are leading you to trust that:

      . You, fully exposed, are good enough just the way you are.
    
      . The answers to what you need are inside you. Begin giving to yourself what you need.
  
II. RELEASE FEAR

Your fear may be so great that it feels “safer” for you to stay in a place that is comfortable rather than to feel the feelings that would be generated by moving toward abundance, prosperity, success, and fulfillment.

Fear occurs in the absence of love.

Remember: Your love for yourself powers your courage to be you.

 EXERCISE TWO

1. List your five greatest fears.

In order to write your fears, you have to be willing to acknowledge them. There is   a fear of actually acknowledging fear.

If this applies to you, feel your feelings and list them anyway.

2:  Ask yourself: How are my fears affecting my ability to move toward what I say I want?

3. Look at your fears and ask yourself:

      . Am I allowing what is outside of myself, including my fears, to direct my life?

         Or

      . Do I love myself enough to stand in a place of power and direct my life with what is     
        important to me?

4. How do you intend to address your fears?

EXERCISE THREE

You have reached the halfway point of this program. We now ask you to revisit the questions you answered at the end of the lesson one, so that you may compare your answers and monitor your progress in this program.

      Ask yourself:

      . Who am I?

      . What am I feeling?

      . Where am I in this moment?

      . How well do I know myself in this moment?

      . How am I feeling about my life now?

      . Where is my sense of self?

      . Where is my power?

      . Where am I looking outside of me for others to define who I am?

      . Where do I think of myself as powerless or not good enough?

      . Where am I still hiding?

We ask you to be completely truthful with that wonderful soul who is standing naked in the mirror in all of your glorious truth.

How have your answers changed since lesson one?

What do the changes tell you about how your consciousness has shifted during this program?

SUMMARY

This teaching is about letting go of what is outside of you and trusting what is inside.

You are beginning to release the patterns of isolation and separation within you.

You are moving into your heart, accepting and valuing who you are as you move on to the pathway of the unknown.

As you continue to do the mirror exercise, you will begin to enjoy who you see reflected there, as opposed to judging and shaming yourself.

You will look in the mirror one day and say:

I like this person. There must be something to this process!”
