July 2009: Delving into Deep Emotions

admin@polarisrising.com — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 16:35:00 PDT

July is a month of intense emotion.

Some of you have been thinking that June was intense enough, but June was more about action and connection — whereas July is all about feeling. It may feel chaotic to some of you, especially those who are not used to accessing the deeper layers of your emotions.

This is what is bubbling up. Those of you who are more used to operating from your emotions will likely feel a very pleasant month as it finally seems as if the rest of the world is more in step with you. But understand that because you are not an emotional society, most of you have deeper layers of emotion that you do not typically access, and so there will be some elements of that chaotic feeling for nearly everyone this month.

We previously talked about emotions bubbling up from the surface and about seismic activity going on around the world; this seems to be relaxing somewhat on a global level. This is because the energy is moving upward through the earth into the roots of Who You Are — into your physical selves — and then of circulating within your third and fourth chakra causing this well of emotions to bubble up and bubble forth between you.

Some people will experience difficulties in relationships because of this. Things will be coming to light that you hadn't brought out in the past; this is why we use the word 'chaotic' when we describe the energy of this month. However, it's not quite as bleak as all that. There has also been quite a shift taking place in the month that you have just finished, June. We talked a month ago about the types of connections that you all would be beginning to make, especially over global events that are occurring on a level that you all can share. You noticed this at the end of the month with celebrity deaths (such as Michael Jackson) that you were all able to share your memories and experiences. Even though they were your own memories and personal experiences, this was still an experience that could be shared among you. The level of connection between you was therefore increased on a global basis, yet another step on your planned journey towards a conscious, global, mutally supporting community.

So if you have that to move forward from during the month of July, giving you a really nice stable base from which to explore this new depth of emotion that you're all going to be accessing.

Exercise:

This is an exercise that will help balance the chaotic feeling of emotion with this new sense of connection that you now hold with one another.

Stand up with your feet about shoulder width apart. Shift your weight forward and backward until you feel the majority of it centered on the balls of your feet. Bend your knees slightly.

If you practice Qi Gong or Tai-Chi, this movement will be familiar to you: Bring your hands up to shoulder level and then let them float down again and where they rest at waist height, palms down. Take a deep breath.

Slowly let them descend, while your knees bend a little bit further — an inch or two. You are essentially bouncing up and down, the weight on the balls of your feet, but still spread out over your entire feet (your heels are touching the floor) and your hands are at waist height or hip height, slowly bouncing up and down as your knees bend ever so slightly.

Now draw up more and more energy from the Earth. This energy is the energy that connects all of you. And as you are doing so, bring your awareness to the center of your chest where your heart is. Bring the energy up into your heart and realize that this shared energy is now being shared among the hearts of everyone. The entire global community is one heart, one beating heart that shared amongst all of you.

Your emotions are beautiful.

They are a part of you.

They are how you express the energy that course through your body.

This is the energy that comes from the earth. This is the energy that is shared among all of you.

This is one beating heart that all of you share together.

When you feel that chaotic feeling that you are being carried away by your emotions, you can stop, rest, breathe and perform this exercise for a minute or two, to help you remind yourself of the connection that you have that you all share. Remind yourself how your emotions help connect you as humans with a heart-to-heart connection that all of you share.

This connection can deeply empower you and connect you more fully to Who You Are.

Healing Shame

admin@polarisrising.com — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 22:18:00 PDT

[This is from a session specifically asking about the concept of shame, channeled May 2009.]

It's always a pleasure to speak to you, regardless of the circumstance that any of you find yourself in: the emotional circumstance, the physical circumstance, etc. It's much the same for us regardless of these circumstances, although we do notice changes within you with love.

The interest this evening is in having us speak to you about the issue of shame. We will therefore first give our perspective on what shame is, then move on to how is it created, what is happening energetically while it is being experienced, and how to heal that feeling within.

A new definition of shame

We would define shame thusly:

Shame is the submerging of your own desires and of a good part of your own identity when you are faced with what you perceive as an opposing energetic force coming toward you.

What is different in our perspective from this definition and the one in your dictionary is that we are describing a process. It is a process involving an energetic interaction between you and another, or indeed sometimes between parts of yourselves. There are corollaries to this:

This process is in the present moment. No matter what your past is, any shame you feel is the result of this process happening Now.
You ultimately have the power to choose differently regarding the energy flow of anything you feel shame about.

Energy flow associated with shame

We will give a descriptive example which is what could occur when you meet a stranger that seems to generate shame in you: say you meet someone that you haven't met before and you feel a wave of energy that feels to you like it's coming toward you. The feeling of shame is felt when you use that energy coming toward you as a catalyst to submerge your own desires — your own energetic "outwardness" — and instead feel the brunt of the full force of what you are perceiving is coming at you because you no longer have your normal "wall of defenses" around you.

You could also describe it as the creation of an opening within the façade (your identity, or ego) that you normally hold around you. This opening can feel like a sudden torrent and a violation, especially if you are a person who is normally energetically sensitive.

Most of you have at all times something of an energetic façade around you. This is part of your self-image. Its part of your energetic field. This is normal. But when there is a sudden shift in how you maintain that energetic field it often creates eruptions that can move into primal feelings like shame.

Question: How does that relate to what we culturally know as shame?

Let's use an example of a person who has experienced rape.

There is then a huge rip in the normal energetic façade that the person wears. Something has happened to change the energetic structure that they are normally holding around themselves — because they've had a hugely physical and emotional experience that makes it difficult to maintain that normal energetic façade. This energetic rip, or hole, can last for some time, especially as there is generally a lack of awareness that such rips can exist.

And so the creation of shame occurs — because with that rip existing, any energy that is perceived as coming toward that person will be then perceived as a reenactment of that initial feeling of violation. Perhaps in the case of rape that hole is in the area of the second chakra. This hole comes and goes over time, but every time it's open a little bit in the face of an energetic onslaught, the person is reminded a little bit of that rape experience yet again. Then that hole rips wide open again, all the energy comes in, and it's experienced again as a feeling of shame.

Question: You've described it as an openness to energy, a hole, which doesn't necessarily sound awful, but the experience of it can be. It can be overwhelming.

That is correct. It depends upon the person. There are people who feel relatively little shame about anything. And that's simply how they are, how they chose to perceive energetic influences — their own and those belonging to other people.

In other words, people who are not particularly energetically sensitive will in general feel less shame than people who tend to be more energetically sensitive.

Before we get into individual experiences too deeply we want to talk a little bit about the social effects of shame. There is a cultural energetic façade that each of you wears in addition to your personal one.

You all know instinctively, energetically and through what you get from others (socially in terms of your upbringing, cultural imprinting, etc.) that you wear collectively this additional energetic façade. When there are really big disruptions in that energetic aura that all of you are engaged in together when it has something to do with a big cultural "no-no," then there will be feelings of shame more frequently associated with smaller incidents that run along the same lines.

There is shame in your culture regarding the body: showing yourself naked is in general regarded as shameful. Shame surrounding anger in woman exists as well. Anything that's not considered culturally acceptable within a certain spectrum tends to elicit shame, especially for people who are more energetically sensitive and feel the energy of others more acutely than those who are less energetically sensitive.

Going back to the rape example: if you live in a culture where there is typically shame experienced over the experience of rape then experiencing that shame on an individual basis is more likely to occur than if you lived in a culture where there was no shame attached to the experience of rape. The hole in the cultural energetic façade makes it easier to create a hole in your personal energetic façade.

Healing shame

Let's say that you are a person who experiences shame on a frequent basis because of repeated feelings of emotional onslaught and violation.

The question brought to us is "how to heal individual shame?"

We will work on this in two ways. There's how to heal a group-level collective shame that you experience on an individual basis, but as part of a group mindset. There is also how to heal individual shame that is created on an individual basis, even if it taps into something that's a larger group collective type of shame.

Using our rape example again, it is possible to strengthen the energetic field on a consistent basis so that you no longer experience what you perceive of as a hole in that field when you feel someone's energy that reminds you of that rape experience. This can be done on a highly individual basis, but in general the easiest way to heal this quickly and not make a lifetime study of it would be this:

When you are faced with the beginnings of that feeling of shame, immediately focus on that area in your body where you feel the hole is, and begin to pour as much energy of You outward from there as you can.

Simply concentrate on that area and imagine that you have unlimited strength, power and energy within you and that you are allowing it to move outward from you from that point. You are taking up space.

This is not a defense — it is a wholeness.

This runs counter to your natural tendency, which would be to withdraw. It may be difficult, especially the first few times in trying this. But in effect what you will do is prevent any other energy from entering what you think of as your sphere by maintaining a sense of wholeness and completeness within yourself.

After a while you can train yourself to do this automatically so that you need not think about it on a conscious basis.

This is the easiest and quickest way. That is not in any way suggesting that it's going to be easy for everyone. (a gentle smile) Remember that on an intellectual basis you can talk yourself out of almost anything that you're feeling and perceiving. It will take trust in your intuition, your energetic perceptions, and your power to move and create energy.

Healing Cultural Shame

We will move on to healing bigger shame — the cultural type of shame. This tends to be a little more complicated, because you're experiencing it on an individual basis and everyone's experience is highly individualized.

In general, the best way to heal your experience of collective shame is this: when you begin to feel those sensations that you connect to the feeling of shame, imagine yourself being a little bit distanced from the overall energetic structure of the social and cultural group you're a part of. Know that that's "them" — they can have that feeling over there, but you are over here feeling whole and complete in your own energetic structure.

Again, the way we describe this is very simple. It's not as simple when you're faced with all the complex feelings that arise when you're feeling a feeling like shame which is so intangible and amorphous. It's not something that you can pick up from a table and hold in your hand. It's not even necessarily something that you can always identify as a feeling within your body!

So if you are capable of doing that and saying "this physical sensation I'm having now is what I associate with shame" then that is a huge step forward. You need not necessarily experience that and have that association for our suggestions to have some influence on how you end up experiencing shame for your life.

Question: Both of those are individual exercises. What are some suggestions when there's a couple or a very small intimate group that trusts each other? Groups really help me.

If you have one other person who can work with you, one helpful exercise is to have one of you practice being the person feeling shame and other practice being the "energetically assaulting person". Practice moving your energy back and forth in both of these roles as follows:

Stand facing one another about 6 feet apart — no closer. Don't look into one another's eyes — concentrate on a spot in the center of one another's chests.

One of you takes a step back and then takes a sudden step forward with the idea of pushing their energy into the other person. That other person is going to be the one who's normally experiencing that kind of thing as shame.

What the "shameful" person does is to concentrate on the part of their body that they associate with the hole in their energetic field. They simply concentrate on that area, filling up the energy within their energetic field and moving it out through that point — and seeing what develops.

In a slightly larger group situation, from 4 to 8 people, you can again role-play where one of you is singling himself out from the group consciousness. The rest of the group would be talking about an issue that all of you tend to feel some shame over — whether it is the bad state of your political system or something that we discussed earlier, like public nudity. But all of you need to have some sense of shame over whatever topic that you decide to talk about.

One of you can distance himself somewhat from the rest of the group while the group continues to talk about these shameful things, not really making jokes but just mentioning anecdotal stories that caused a sense of shame. The person who is standing aside somewhat can practice separating his energy from the group. Again, this can take maybe a few minutes for each person. So everyone can have a turn with just a few minutes' worth of experimentation.

The long road of healing

No two paths of healing are the same, but it is true that healing personal shame will have a cumulative positive effect on the cultural shame that exists all around you. As we see it, it is part of your global and collective path to begin to heal shame on a wide basis. In time, we foresee that your world will one day look very different regarding the issue of shame, and your personal story today will influence that future yet to be.

June 2009: The lesson of connection

admin@polarisrising.com — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 16:49:00 PDT

June, as many of you have been feeling, is going to be quite an exciting month. There is a lot going on for you - and this will surface in a tangible way. Not coincidentally, there will be a number of energetic disruptions on the surface of the Earth that will likely manifest in additional earthquakes along the Asian corridor (think "Ring of Fire," also Portugal and South America while you're at it), potentially a large tsunami in the area as a result, some volcanic activity (Hello, Hawaii!), there will also manifest some disruption among the global collective connection that you all share.

This disruption in the connection will likely manifest economically with additional people losing their jobs due to the shutdown or severe cutbacks of one or more major manufacturing corporations (and all the rippling effects from smaller suppliers being affected, etc), more people finding themselves in a suddenly more precarious financial situation, and more people finding themselves more susceptible than usual to communicable disease.

This may sound rather dire, but understand that by month's end, because of the ripple effects of this global disturbance, you will feel more connected to one another than you do at present.

In other words, every time you move through something 'big' that happens on a worldwide basis, you end up feeling the connection that all of you share. For instance, think back to the events of : the World Trade Center, the Asian Tsunami, Princess Diana, and John F. Kennedy. All of these events changed how you connected with one another on a global basis. In each of these examples, there was:

A disturbance
The ripple effects of the disturbance
A resulting change in how you think of one another and interact with one another

Bringing this Home

On a more personal basis, many of you have been doing much inner work. You are delving more deeply into your Self and who you are than you ever have been. This is setting you up for further changes on an inner basis during the month of June. A lot what you've been going through and feeling will start to make much more sense in the month of June.

So on the one hand, you have some rather tragic global events going on and on the other hand you have people on a personal and individual level putting pieces together about who they are in ways they never had before. This is not an accident. By the end of the month all of this comes together with the sense that here you are - all of you, the entire world - and you're all on this journey together and that connection feels pretty good.

Now, of course it will not feel as good to the people who are personally affected by some of the events that we mentioned, but because there will be such an outpouring of compassion from the rest of you, those people will be in essence buoyed by the love that you send them.

Question: If you boiled down the energy of this month to a lesson, what would it be?

Connection. You're exploring the way that you are connected and bringing that to a conscious level.

This is a long lesson that is longer than just a single month. But you're exploring it in a different way at this time because of these global events, this disturbance and the ripples that you feel. You're exploring this in June through the lens of compassion.

Question: This still sounds pretty awful, even though these things are already going on. How can we personally make a difference and help with this connection?

Understand that in large part, you're already doing it. You've been on guard - standing by. Intuitively, you know something's up on a global level. You know that the world is going to go through a series of shocks and upheavals and you're readying yourself for how that will feel. Due to the simultaneous nature of time that you all have awareness of on some level - you've already explored what comes afterward and you're dealing with that, too.

More specifically however, it's good to focus on your own process this month. Use the tools we and others give you and notice more. Notice how energy moves through your body and being. Notice this especially when you think of things that stress you. Does that feel good? Or would you like to change your response to stress? This month is your opportunity to begin to make sweeping changes on an inner level as well, an invitation to deepen that inner process you've already begun, but on a quantum level. A huge leap.

While you're in the noticing process, and especially as news begins to travel of big events, notice (or imagine) your connection to everyone else. Start with yourself and build ever-bigger concentric circles around you: include family, friends, acquaintances, neighbors, your community, ever spiraling outward in bigger circles in your mind until you've encompassed the entire world. Do this daily. We promise it will make a huge difference in creating a different sense of global connection, because that noticing has its own ripple effect and as a result others - even all those people around the world that you don't know and likely never will - will be affected by your simple exercise.

If you like, add the concept of Metta, or loving-kindness, to that concentric noticing. Start from your heart and let your heart-self radiate outward in those ever-bigger circles.

There is no way for this NOT to make a difference.

What is Energy Work?

admin@polarisrising.com — Sun, 17 May 2009 17:15:00 PDT

[Channeled May, 2009]

What is energy work? A more basic question, perhaps, would be the exploration of what is energy.

Energy is the term that has come to be used to explain or to connote the basic life force that exists in and all around you. Its very intangibility to those who exist solely, in their perception, on the Earth-plane gives it an ethereal quality that makes it seem difficult to understand.

Often people say they cannot feel energy. What they really mean is: they do not know what they are feeling when they feel it.

All of you feel energy all the time. All of you have the ability to discern what it is that you are feeling. You simply need to bring awareness and attention to what it is you feel.

Understand, however, that this can be a difficult process. Sometimes certain protections are built-in to your patterns of awareness that make it difficult for you to notice when you are feeling certain kinds of energy. The people who feel energy the most tend to be those who have chosen to accept that doing so is a benefit to them. This is a choice that you can make at any time. But understand that such choices need to be made on all the levels of your being. You are your conscious mind. You are also your heart space. You are also your soul or essence. All of You works together, all the time, to create the choices and the responses that you have all the input that you receive in the course of a day.

Energy Expanded

Going back to the question "What is Energy?":

Energy is simply the explanation for the life force that exists in and all around you.

In other words, everything has its own awareness: a table, a book, the cells that make up your nose all have an individual awareness. This collective awareness moves in a cyclic fashion, much like a wave and much like electricity does.

In fact, a very good analogy for "What is Energy" is to compare it to electricity. However, electricity has far more instant tangibility than does energy. You are beings made of energy. That is what you are made of - there is nothing more to you than simply energy. Another way to describe energy is, of course, calling it Love. It's gathered together in certain patterns, in certain ways, to create form. The form can be a microphone. The form can be a person. The form can be a tree. It's all made of the same "stuff".

Energy work, then, is an activity that helps to bring awareness or attention to the energy that you are and the energy that exists all around you. When someone puts their hands on someone else, when they're doing Reiki or other energy healing, they are simply intending to bring attention to the energy that is already that other person. That's all there is to it. Energy work brings attention to what already exists within you.

The reason why energy work is effective is because it acts as a catalyst to assist you with the process that you choose to embark upon. If you are receiving healing from someone else, you are choosing to accept that healing, and in so doing accept whatever comes of your new attention and awareness to the healing that is taking place within you. No one person can heal another without an interaction and a choice being made by the recipient to bring their energetic awareness and attention to the possibility of healing taking place.

Question: So the healing actually comes from increased awareness?

Yes, but even saying "increased awareness" is a little bit misleading.

You don't necessarily have to have that awareness within your conscious mind. Your body, made up as it is of energy, has awarenesses of its own all over the place. Your leg has awareness that you may not be aware of in your mind - but your leg knows. If your leg is choosing to hold attention to the healing that needs to take place within it, then that will happen.

Question: If one person intends to bring healing energy to another, when will it be helpful and when will it do nothing?

That is a very good question.

Understand that the recipient of energy work chooses to accept the awareness and attention that comes from the healing action. Understand also that this choice need not be on a conscious level.

It is easy to differentiate between when this is helpful and when it will do nothing. There is always, within you, an even deeper and more underlying part of you - your essence, or soul - that you tend not to factor in when you think about choices, decisions and healing. If you are the target of intended energy work or intended healing because you have a condition that others think needs healing (for instance, if you are a person with cancer) other people will give you energy and will send energy to you in the hope that you get better. But perhaps on a soul level it is your choice to experience the illness to its ultimate degree. Perhaps it is the choice of you on a soul level to not accept that healing - in which case it won't work.

It will always work, however, when you you, as your conscious mind, are in closer connection to You on a soul level. When you are making the choices, living the life and walking the path of someone who is connected to themselves on a soul level, then energy work will always have an effect - and it will always have the effect that you choose, that you desire.

Often people don't know what they want - in which case energy work can also be very useful. We already mentioned that it acts as a catalyst for what's already present. So, if someone wants a shift — a transformation — in their life and they receive energy work, it can help them bring clarity to their desires. It can then help gather together what they need within them in order to move off in the direction that they want to move in.

Connecting with your essence

admin@polarisrising.com — Sat, 09 May 2009 00:38:00 PDT

Note that in this channeling the term "essence" is synonymous with the idea of "Higher Self". It is you - far more of you that you are aware off. You can read more of what essence is in this article and in this poem from essence.

This was adapted from a personal session, shared with permission.

Introduction

At any time in your life, your essence is making many choices you are unaware of. Many times these choices may cause discomfort or bring up resistance. For example, your essence may be infusing a different energy in your physicality, causing a structural reintegration, quickly replacing and regenerating many of the cells existing within your skeletal structure. This brings an extra burden on the rest of your body which you feel on a conscious level and do not like because it is not your conscious mind that has chosen this.

Going Beyond Resisting Your Essence

Most of you tend to resist any changes taking place within you energetically or on a physical level that you don't feel 100% in conscious control of and compliant with. If there's anything going on with you on an essence level, you tend to put up some resistance to that, especially if you do not have intellectual awareness of it. This is part of your learning to simply flow and move along with what is going on.

In general people tend to resist change. It's in some ways part of the physical plane experience. You want to, as humans, understand, know and agree to anything that happens to you. You want to feel that you are more or less in control of the situation.

So when you're not 100% completely connected to essence - and only a few people are - then you're going to feel some elements of feeling out of control when essence is prompting you, prodding you or welcoming certain energies that you may not have complete and total conscious awareness of.

Question: What can the average person do about this?

Talking With Essence

Being more consciously aware of yourself on a deep essence level and the choices that you make in a wider scope of reality will help - but that can also draw you somewhat out of the present moment experience. Have this wider perspective means being a little more objective, and it's very difficult to maintain perfect objectivity when you are faced with making a choice that affects you on various levels - economically, socially, and emotionally - because you're invested with the outcome of a choice. It's part of being human.

You can, however, enlist your Self at an essence level as an ally and friend.

Have imaginary conversations with your Self on this wider perspective soul level. Simply talk about "if I make this choice, what will happen?" or "What choices are you trying to make on my behalf, that I'm not completely aware of". The more conversation you invite and the more interaction you invite, the more closer connection you will naturally create through this exercise.

It may seem silly at first - you may feel like you're talking to no one or talking to the voice in your head that does not exist - but we can assure you that for the majority of people, this is very helpful.

You are connecting with more of You. Your essence is your Self.

Having awareness of your physical responses

Aspects of meditation and meditational activities are also helpful in feeling at a physical level what is going on with you on an energetic level. It is revealing and enlightening for you when you have any increased conscious awareness of how your body reacts to stimuli and thoughts.

For instance, imagine that there is a person in your life who has been difficult and that your interaction with that person has been uncomfortable. When you think about this person it will provoke a physical response in you. You will feel something in your body, and you can train yourself to become more aware of that physical response. Once you are more aware of the physical response, you automatically have more control over the that response. You can, at some level, choose to have it or not to have it.

We don't advocate pushing it away. You'll likely want to accept this physical response. Your body may be thinking, "this person is uncomfortable in my life. When I think about them and stomach tightens and I get this sensation all over that feels very uncomfortable - and I associate that feeling with that person." Pushing this away is not going to help, because if you have disengaged yourself from the awareness of that response you you're still going to have the physical response. In that case, the energy in you is still moving through your body in the same way, having the same (possibly) detrimental effects on your body, but you're now not aware of it. This can lead to many chronic health issues.

You don't want to push it away - but you do want to acknowledge it more deeply and thoroughly. You can say that instead of having that particular response, perhaps you would like to create a different response in yourself when you think about this person. With awareness and conscious creation, you can create instead this sensation of floating on a cloud in the sky, where you have no cares. That would feel a lot better to you than this tightening in the stomach and this overall tension that you are used to associating with that person.

What is going to happen after a time when you begin to teach yourself to respond to your thoughts of that person by thinking of yourself as floating on cloud up in the sky? You're going to have a different effect on the energy moving through your body. Then the energetic signals that you give out all around you - including to that person that you think of from time to time - are going to change as well. Instead of being full of tension and fear, they are going to be perhaps more peaceful.

This eventually has a very different effect in your interaction with that person, how you view that person - and how they view you. It creates further ripples amongst your friends and community that help create further changes in your life and on the planet.

You can apply this technique to any situation in your life.

May 2009: The awareness of global community

admin@polarisrising.com — Sat, 02 May 2009 03:51:00 PDT

The energy of May is starting out quite differently from that of the month previous. Whereas in April you were mostly concerned with your individual processes, now after only a month you have moved a distance into the awareness of one another as a global community. This is but a single step along a long path toward true awareness of your connection to one another, but it is a step nevertheless.

While many of you are feeling energized by this new sense of belonging and connected community, many of you are feeling this as having come from fear. Yes, there are fears now worldwide over the potential of pandemic. We would say that it is largely the fears that are creating the potential of rapidly replicating viruses that still have the potential to decimate populations. Why do we tell you this, then, since we know that even saying this will bring fears to those who hear these words?

We wish you to understand that you exist in a world of possibilities. In every moment there is a choice, a range of choices, and within those choices the seeds of whole realms and realities exists. The choice exists to create disease. This "small" choice sits within the "larger" global choice to create change in the way you interact with one another, and within that "larger" choice sits the choice to create this new interaction by choosing that there be, eventually, fewer of you on the planet. Just as many of you chose to be here NOW, for this set of choosing and for this set of choices resulting in an overall trend toward new interaction, so too are many of you (we use the collective "you" here, as this will at first largely affect people living far from you) choosing to discarnate and return to Source for the time being so as to help assist the shifts occurring for those still incarnating.

Again, a choice.

So this fear is a natural result of the fright over impending change. That is normal and it is difficult to not feel fear about the unknown. But fear weakens the body, weakens the chi, weakens the impulses and creates and stringer susceptibility to other influences, even if those other influences (like a flu strain) are largely creations of your own collective making.

As our friends Abraham might say, you get what you ask for. You get what you create by what you put energy toward. Putting this more succinctly, the fears over a flu pandemic are potentially creating that pandemic.

Back to the month at hand. While we see that it begins with a stronger sense of connectedness, understand that not everyone reacts to that sense in the same way. For many of you it feels like "home," like an increased sense of belonging. Things will feel as if they are flowing, that you are making the "right" choices in life and that your path is golden.

Others will feel almost the other end of the spectrum: increased fear, suspicion, violence. You can expect some new and shocking examples of the violence humans can do to one another to arise or erupt this month. But understand, this is simply one manifestation of the greater changes taking place all around you.

Take Care of your Self

If you are energetically bothered by the news around you, intentionally disconnect yourself from its source. Turn off the screens. Mentally watch yourself disconnecting from the news media (which feeds on fear and is a creation of fear, largely, and has been so for nearly 150 years in the Western world) by seeing the cord that connects you to it, and then severing that cord.

Go for a walk outside instead and connect with something that feels permanent and fixed and immutable, like a large rock outcropping or a lake or an ancient tree.

Breathe your fears and uncertainties into that fixture and feel your body becoming more relaxed. If you do this several times over the next month you will better be able to withstand fluctuations in energy levels (you can expect dips around the 15-20^th of the month) and the fears you might be feeling around you so that you can instead feel that you and your loved ones and your life in general are truly in the flow and on the golden path.

Swine flu pandemic?

We would like to talk about the potential for a swine flu pandemic.

As we see it the recent attention to what has been called the 'swine flu" is but one manifestation of what is likely to be an outcropping of a number of different rapidly mutating flu strains that are going to be making their way around the world.

You've had avian flu, you now have swine flu, and if you know anything about the replicating mechanisms behind the viruses responsible for these flus, you know that they are able to rapidly mutate. You have also set the stage for this series of mutations by creating a very hospitable environment in which "super viruses" can grow and proliferate. You have created this hospitable environment by your seeming attention to detail when it comes to certain aspects of cleanliness, personal hygiene and antibacterial formulations, and also because of the way you treat your water and sewage systems. We could also go into the whole factory farm industry and its overuse of antibiotics — all of this together has created this really juicy environment for these mutating strains to change at a rate that will be impossible to keep up with medically.

We see the potential being relatively high at this point for millions of people to die from various flu strains as they make their way around the world within the next two years — and this is only the beginning. You have created a global economy and a global awareness. People are traveling and are eating foods from all kinds of places. Your awareness of where things come from in your life is so diminished that you could be touching a keyboard created in China that was coughed on by someone who was ill before they even knew that they were ill. So these viruses are going to be difficult to contain.

Because these strains will be rapidly mutating, the medical industry is also eventually going to go through a rapid change in focus as a result. In other words, the eventual fallout of this to the western medical community will result in a big change in focus from what it has been. The economy of the pharmaceutical industries is going to collapse in the long term — for other reasons as well, but this will be the straw that broke the camel's back, so to speak.

People's immune system response, in general, is lower now. The way that people eat has changed, mostly in Western countries, but truly everywhere because there are few countries that are not westernized to the point of being removed from one's roots. The way that most people eat (processed foots, eating foods that didn't come from your surrounding area, eating foods that are not right for you genetically based on your racial heritage, eating genetically modified foods, and eating foods that are either infected with a lot of harmful bacteria that your body then has to deal with, or are completely devoid of any helpful bacteria) is serving to greatly diminish the immune capacity of the species as a whole.

Much of this decreased immune response has been shored up artificially by the pharmaceutical industry. In other words, you are throwing drugs at various maladies in order to help you get over symptoms while not addressing the underlying causes, which are based on a lack of energetic strength or connection to chi. The more you as a people become divorced from the energy that is all around you that exists in nature, the energy that exists among one another, and the more you feel isolated and act as if you are isolated, the less connected you are with your own immune response.

We would say then that there is a better than 60% chance that what we have projected in terms of a pandemic — in other words, millions of deaths occurring due to a series of quickly mutating viruses — will be occurring within the next two years.

[Note: Approximately 60,000 people die of the flu in the United States alone every year, so this additional amount on a worldwide level does not look like a true epidemic. Polaris did not indicate that this particular virus was going to be the cause, either. They certainly do not support adding fear to this mix.
