EVOLVING CONSCIOUSNESS

BY BEE JIMPSON

Take the opportunity now to expand your consciousness

T

HERE ARE some well-known individuals that are suggesting that there are imminent catastrophic events that are about to take place on our planet as we approach the end time of prophesy in 2012. There are rumors of catastrophes that will annihilate the majority of the population of humans on our planet.

They say that the earthquake in Japan, and resulting nuclear catastrophe, has begun a domino effect that will cause many earthquakes, volcano eruptions, and tsunamis to take place.

Even though this is a possible outcome to our lack of consciousness, it is not an inevitable one.

Through our mindful choices we can elect to bring light and healing to our planet and raise the consciousness to a level that can deter those events from happening.

WE SIGNED UP!

We have all chosen to be here at this time in earth’s history, and even though we may not be cognizant of it now, we knew then what

12 www.esswellness.com

we were signing up for. We wanted to be here at this most important and critical time. Why? Because there is no other time that is more exciting, spiritually expansive, and propelling as now. There would be massive changes in human consciousness and global shifting. We knew that there would be risks, but we also knew that there would be amazing rewards. We would be connected to more people and “other worlds” than ever before in history, through our advanced technology, and through our ever growing intuitive ability to sense other realities. We would be able to help more, grow faster mentally and spiritually, change and evolve physically and spiritually more rapidly than ever before. We would have an opportunity to change the course of the future by writing and creating it as we go. We would become aware of our divinity in a whole new way; not just by understanding that we are connected to God, but also by understanding that we are God incarnate and in turn creators of our reality. We would become conscious of our ability to create and change

the outcomes of events that may otherwise seem inevitable.

PRACTICE GRATITUDE

We can make a commitment to living a purer life, within our capabilities, and not be led by fear for fear attracts that which we do not want. Let us be led by love—love for our Mother Earth, humanity, the animal kingdom, and plants and trees. Let us begin to be mindful and grateful of all that is around us that we take for granted, from the clean water we drink to the fresh air we breathe when we are outside of the contaminated cities we have created.

This process is not a difficult thing. Take just five to 10 minutes daily, in a state of loving gratitude, and focus on our breath in a state of meditation and/or visualization.

Be grateful to our Grandfather Sun that provides light and nourishment to all life here in unison with our Mother, which together have provided for our every need.

EVOLVING CONSCIOUSNESS Expand your consciousness continued...

If we allow that connection through our hearts to the divinity that we are, we will not need to experience the catastrophes that others may say are inevitable. Let us join together to give a message to our Divine Mother and Divine Father that we are here to support all life through our love and mindfulness.

Now be grateful for the blessings we all have and will continue to receive. Try to be as positive as you can as you do this and also in your daily life. A positive attitude 14 www.esswellness.com

attracts good things into your life and the lives of others. Stay away from drama since drama only attracts chaos and chaos attracts more of the same.

Let us keep our eyes on the beauty of humanity and our abundant earth. Let us keep a positive attitude and be as loving and benevolent as we can possibly be in our interactions with each other.

The outcome of the approaching events really depends on us and our expanded consciousness. Let’s awaken into love and gratitude.

2012 marks the beginning of spiritual renewal

W

E ARE in a time period of the “shift of the ages.”

Everything is changing including human consciousness and Mother Earth as she awakens to a renewal of a new life cycle.

Mother Earth is a highly evolved soul on a swift ascension course that is nearing fourth density and will continue on her destination to the fifth. We are nearing the divine love frequency where the love of power will be replaced with the power of love.

2012 will come and go like Y2K. There is also the belief that we are in the ninth wave—the end of the Mayan calendar supposedly on Oct. 28, 2011. According to the Maya we have nine waves—each wave higher than the other—with the ninth wave being the completion.

Relax and become aware of your God self and receive the energies and frequencies of greater awareness and divine knowing. Be open to all the gifts that are filtering down into the atmosphere of the Earth. Be in a state of reverence and gratitude for this grand opportunity.

It requires awareness on your part that these gifts are available to you and that you are in a position to integrate them into your Being. Make this your intention whenever you are out in nature and Nature in turn will assist you in receiving them.

In the meantime, send tons of love, light, and healing energy to your planet and to all those that are in state of hopelessness and upheaval. Support areas of need with monetary help and your personal support when you are called to do so to ease their burdens and also assist the planet in a gentle release of energy as she awakens.

Be the love that you are!

E COME into form with divine consciousness, just as we come with soul. But how do we acquire the capacity to recognize these aspects of ourselves? Finding this capacity is crucial, because when we do so, when we pay attention, our soul and our consciousness nurture us into wholeness.

A Course of Love

My own major work, A Course of Love, suggests that if we turn to our hearts rather than our minds, and if we read (and live) receptively and without seeking to acquire knowledge and information, or to achieve ideal states, we will open ourselves to that place we each already possess and become possessed by the remembrance of who we are.

Our remembrance of who we truly are is the consciousness that is termed “higher.�

Heart and Soul Reminds Us of Who We Are

Despite many experiences of 18 www.esswellness.com

BY MARI PERRON

are is the ousness what gets described as “altered” states of consciousness, it has always been heart and soul, rather than mind and consciousness that have reminded me of who I am. Having had a tendency to only pursue that which touches my heart, and moves me to feeling states that instill a deep (rather than surface level or intellectual) thoughtfulness, this is all I know to encourage you to do to meet and greet your own soul and consciousness. Be attentive to what makes you come alive with feeling, with wonder, and with recognition!

Eventually this type of exploration leads to acquaintance with your soul and consciousness and to seeing distinction (your unique experience and expression) and unity (that which holds all distinction) as one.

With this realization, all sense of dualism falls away and a great freedom arises of the combining.

Becoming Intimate With Our “Selves”

With heart and soul we come into intimacy with our distinctness, with our unique way of being and relating. We accept those things that

make us say, “Oh God, I love this so.” We accept that for us this love is inspired by sunrise and the smell of fall and silence, and that for another it is inspired by sunset on the ocean and the sound of waves and music.

We find that as we are tolerant of ourselves we are tolerant of others.

Our capacity to love ourselves and others as we are becomes both more personal and more expansive. We allow all feeling states their room and don’t deny loneliness or grief, confusion, or melancholy. We cease judging one state as good and one as bad and are rewarded with depth.

With consciousness we come into intimacy with the whole, with oneness, with the Giver of all that lives and breathes as one. We recognize the part of ourselves that is transparent, spacious, and transpersonal. We’re drawn beyond the particulars that so please our soul and become increasingly aware of the magnificence of a reality and a form (our humanity) that combines distinction and unity. Often this

Embodying Our Consciousness

How do we embody our consciousness? In this process of awakening consciousness, which is really a process of embodying our higher vibrational light form, we must become aware of our consciousness residing in our body. To embody our consciousness, we must connect with the elements of creation— earth, water, fire, air and ether. The qualities of these elements assist us in embodying our consciousness in human form. In this article we are touching on the element of air.

Breathing, the element of air, is a fundamental process that plays a vital role in embodying our higher sense of grounding.

deeply into the experience of our breath expanding and filling our body, we begin to make the connection of our consciousness as an experience inside of our body. By allowing the mind to rest in the rhythm of the breath, consciousness can emerge from deep inside the body.

By breathing into our cells and surrendering the mind into the experience of the breath entering the body, we can drop down into our body and come into deeper presence inside of our body. As we let the mind go and drop down into the body we can rest in this place, allowing consciousness to emerge.

In order to be full present we must be fully present inside of our breath, inside of our body.

Try This Simple Breathing Embodiment Practice 1. Surrender deeply into the experience of your breath expanding and filling your body 2. A llow the mind to rest in the rhythm of your breath 3.

Presence Within Consciousness

Breathing is a key to assimilating the energies that are coming into the Earth. Being present in our breath is also key. Allowing consciousness to permeate within our breath and becoming fully present within our consciousness allows us

The information stored within the nucleus inside of our cells is being activated. As the information is activated inside the nucleus in the center of our cells, the DNA, it’s like turning on a radio station and suddenly we have reception! We are receiving the messages and communications. As the new information

stored within our DNA is turned on, we begin to feel differently. We begin to experience new perspectives that are based on a unified field of consciousness. This awakened consciousness is a deeper experience of union with creation, with each other and all life. This awakening of cellular consciousness is like a dawning of a new vibrational state of being—an embodiment of the resonance of the truth of our being.

As this light energy stored in our cells is awakened, it takes us into the next evolution of our species.
