Peace, love, and harmony

Your true joy will lead you to your destiny

2009-03-23T00:46:40-04:00

Friend please speak about how we as humans find our true calling or our ‘purpose’?

Of course we are delighted to address this question. Good Day, Dear Ones, we’ve been asked to address how you live in your ‘purpose’, your ‘true calling’. We’d first like to begin by addressing that for each person that calling is different. As people open up to their own evolution, often they spend countless hours and immeasurable energy trying to figure out what their ‘purpose’ here on earth is. We invite you to think about this in a different way.

Instead of trying to figure out your purpose - spend time tapping into that which brings you true joy. The kind of joy that allows you to transcend time and space. The kind of joy that allows you to lose yourself in the pleasure of just partaking in the activity. We’ve mentioned this before - that the way to your joy can be through things that bring you pleasure, but you may also discover your joy, through the things in life that makes you uncomfortable or displeased. That may seem odd…but if you are unhappy about a certain situation so much that you feel the need to help bring about a change. Then the action of bringing about the change leads you to your joy.

So, by spending your time filling your life with the activities that bring you to joy you will indeed naturally and easily lead yourself to your purpose. Not everyone will be directed to use their joy as a vocation. But many will. What we are trying to impart to you now is that by trying to discover your purpose, you often are not simply allowing it to enter into your life. It’s like chasing the tide on the beach…you will never catch it. But when you relax and begin to afford yourself the freedom to simply ‘do’ what brings you pleasure…you begin living your purpose. So, to chase your purpose without knowing what truly makes you happy as human being - is like putting the cart before the horse.

Once you find your pleasure and your joy….you find your true nature. And your true nature will direct you exactly where you need to go. Your true nature works in tandem with the universe to deliver you to your destiny.

So, by accepting this fact and living in this nature…you begin to free yourself and will allow the nature to direct you where you need to go. When you accept your nature - you align with the universal forces and you follow the direction that the nature wants you to follow. You lose the confusion over ‘what is it I should do with my life’ and simply live your life by your nature and by your joy. All else will fall into place. Nature - and therefore the universe will take the reigns so to speak and direct you where you are intended. This is why it feels so good - to allow your nature in and therefore out. You feel exhausted when you try to control what your life should be. It is like driving on ‘fumes’ without enough fuel to really propel you where you need to go…so often you need to get out and push the car. This is silly, this is exhausting. This does not serve the original intent of having a car at all…for you’d be better off just walking. You’d be exerting a lot less effort if you only needed to propel yourself on foot - rather than pushing a huge heavy vehicle which is meant to run on gas and carry you where you want to go. Can you see how relative this is to your life? Before and after your shift. Before you began accepting who you really are…you are pushing your vehicle without gas…by foot, up hill. After accepting your true nature - you sit comfortably inside the car and allow it to fuel up so it can drive you where you need to go, easily and naturally. That is what your nature is…the fuel for your vehicle.

Thank you Friend - that is a really cool demonstration of this lesson.

Friend: Thank you Dear One…we are grateful for this opportunity to serve all those who wish to grow and evolve. With great love and adoration, Friend.

Yes We Can

Message from Friend 11/23/08

Traci: Friend - can you address what’s happening to the world right now?

Friend: Yes Dear One - this is a mighty big topic - one that we can really spend some time on. We can break it down into several mini topics. Firstly, the state of the world right now is “transformation”. The world is indeed embarking on a new found era - an era filled with many wonderful changes…as well as many, many areas still in dire need of change. As the light shines down on a travesty - the world is now sitting up and taking notice. This is the time to make positive strides forward. This is the time to clean things that need cleaning, to help those that need help and to put an end to those things whose time has come. This is the time to actually make a difference. You are seeing this now with the USA. The people have spoken - they have risen up and made themselves heard. Their voices united to say “we need change” - and “yes, we can”. This is no small change - this is a profound change that has consequences that reach from sea to shining sea. The rest of world - watches the USA - and waits to see what directions you take as you journey through history. You are now able to stand with your heads held high and walk the talk. That’s more important than we can stress. You in America - need to capitalize on this new found respect and adoration. You will inspire others…and this is the time to make a huge difference in the world. The USA is one of the youngest nations on the globe - and as the newbies - you have quickly become a force to be reckoned with. But as the newest amongst the powerhouses - how do you want to lead….by shear force and brute - or as an evolved wise nation with the solace of a sage. The time has come now to be the later of the two. You have shown the world your might - now is the chance to show them your heart and mind. In order to do this - many, many things need to change within your own Country. Much of the infrastructure needs changing. As you can see now - it is in the midst of a collapse and will continue to crumble - as the old ideas that once held its pillars are literally turning to dust and evaporating as the history that put them there. This is a new age, the dawn of a brand new age. This is time to reorganize and restructure and rebuild. The people will hear and then act on what needs to change and what no longer works. If you hear of something that no longer makes sense - or has never been right but no one would pay attention before - now is the time to make your case for a brand new way. Anything that is an outrage - will be more likely to get noticed and brought forth for the attention it needs to attract a better solution. For instance - the stock market, the healthcare, and the big business of the country are falling in this scenario now. But there are still a few major areas of living that need to be addressed such as the environment and the wellbeing of the poor and underprivileged. People are now starting to realize that the world is sick and needs tender loving care if it is to last and sustain the precious life upon it. And before each country tries desperately to take over or solve issues in other countries - it must feed, clothe and house its own…it must leave no one behind. This does not mean that it is the demise of the capitalist society - but it does mean that there is a better way than is being done now. Everyone must honor their fellow human…and in order to truly care for yourself you must care for others…that means that as long as there are hungry, poor and sick people on this planet - that each and everyone is. No amount of money in the bank can preclude you from the devastation that this causes the human soul.

Traci: Thank you friend - that is a powerful message - one that needs further discussion as you said. We can add more later?

Friend: Yes, Dear One - we are in gratitude of your connection and we are here with you in love and admiration.

The Dawning of A New Era

Message from Friend 11/4/08

Traci: Good Evening Friend, this is voting day Nov. 4th, 2008 - we are anxiously awaiting the outcome to this historical election. I feel like I'm on pins and needles...wishing to know how this is going to turn out.

Friend: Yes Dear One, this is indeed a very monumental event...you will be pleased with the outcome tonight. This is the beginning of a brand new era in this country's history. One in which the world will benefit greatly too. You all need to hold this light high and strong...so that this new era and new energy works to lift the world a bit higher. Allow yourselves to be motivated and inspired to make the change you wish to see. Join in and help move the mountains that need to be moved. You all can do it...unite to bring about the changes that need to be made. This is indeed a turning point for the world. One where mind over might matters...one where spirit over religion triumphs...one where the power is in the peace and the strength is in the ability to be bend. You all have done a lot of work to get to this point - but it needs not stop here...for this is just the beginning. You light-workers - and those that have come after have much left to do - you must continue to donate your time and energy to lifting the consciousness of the human race. It is exhausting some of you and causing some wear and tear on others of you...you must take care now to preserve your precious energies...for you are needed still. Those of you who have been worn down and whom are suffering physically, must really take heed and do what you need to heal your physical bodies now. This is absolutely critical at this time.

Traci: Friend, how can we do that?

Friend: You must use the tools that you neglect. Use the methods you know how to use - but hide from or ignore. Those of you who are highly evolved already - tend to fall back on what you know and take for granted. You tend not to do what you preach...this is common. You MUST, MUST take great care of yourselves NOW!! To do this - you need to pull back from what drains you and go towards what fuels you. Nature is always a good healer - so when you can, get out in nature. Also, meditate and relax...don't work at relaxing - but rather simply, honest to goodness, relax! We simply can't stress this enough. Light-workers tend to be martyrs and need to remember that they aren't any good to anyone if they are all used up.

Traci: Thank you Friend, that is a great message - thank you.

Be the Change....the time is now!

Greeting to one and all;

We've been asked to discuss the fact that if seems that the planet is under siege with negative and harmful things these days. That there is trouble with food, air, water and most of the essentials of life. We hope to help a bit on this subject.

You mustn't give up. You must first understand that you are NOT as fragile as you think. You must work to stand up and to prosper in any condition. You are much more adaptive than you think. Secondly you must stand up and be counted. Let the governments know what you expect - clean air, food and water. You must do your part. Every person matters and it only takes one person to tip the scale in a new direction. So you could very well be that one person who matters the most. Don't stand on the sidelines any longer - get up and get out and get moving. Volunteer your time, efforts and/or money in the causes that you believe in. It's just no longer acceptable to sit and wish for the changes. You must get up and get involved. Connect to your passion(s). Use that connection to harness your drive and motivation to help make the changes that you wish to see. To do this - think about the things you love the most, the things you do that allow you to lose track of time and to lose yourself completely in while doing. You can also tap into your passions by finding out what upsets you the most - people often overlook this as a means of discerning their true passions. Often it is the thing that really bothers you, scares or worries you the most that leads you to your passion. For instance - if you are very upset about not finding good, clean organic food - that can lead you to discovering a way to help not only you but others to a source - or to expanding a source that is there already. If clean drinking water is a worry - that could lead you to getting involved with a movement to assure you all have it - like a stewardship or council that is working to deliver clean drinking water to the planet. You see your passions aren't just about the things you love to do - they can be in the things that you find unjust, deplorable or unacceptable. After many years of public apathy - it is time to raise up and find your voice. Everyone is needed to make the changes this planet needs.

So, be the change you want to see and get involved where and when you can so that you can help this planet ride through the upcoming changes.

Thank you for this wonderful opportunity to address you and we wish you all peace, love and harmony in your lives.

With love,

Friend

Bringing Peace into your Life

2007-05-30T18:34:43-04:00

Greetings to all!

Recently we were asked to continue on the topic of bringing peace into your daily lives and into the world. We are most delighted to speak on this topic again indeed.

It is very important to first note that to even want peace or wish for peace sends a powerful prayer to the universe. Peace is more than just a kind notion - it is a powerful action. The word itself will induce a sense of security and calm. Therefore, to merely think of peace or speak the word aloud or to yourself silently - begins to create the sense of peace you are looking for.

Peace brings about love and harmony. These three principals work in conjunction with one another to create a very important trinity or triangle. The triangle is a very powerful symbol and works wonders. So Peace, Love and Harmony are all intersected principals or "powers" working together. You cannot have peace without first having love and with love and peace comes harmony. So when you meditate on peace, love and harmony, you are really bringing in the divine aspects of the universe. These three principals will transform all matter and situations.

When you focus on peace you will deliver peace to not only yourself but to your immediate circle and the world as well. You will find that matters will flow more smoothly, situations will be easier, people will be kinder. Through peace you will find yourself closer to One, closer to your higher self. Peace elevates all emotions to the higher realms. With Peace All is Well. Acceptance is a very nice outcome of peace. For peace transforms judgment and criticism into love, light -which brings about acceptance.

To help bring peace into your life, try these simple exercises the next time you face a situation that is harsh or sharp or even explosive - visualize a soft light that permeates the entire situation and anyone involved. Each day visualize your home or office filled with the soft light. If you experience a lot of phone calls - imagine your phone has a soft glow of light around it and actually has a "peace filter" on the receiver. So all callers are instantly transformed into their most peaceful representations. Embrace your own peaceful side. Anytime you feel angry, judgmental or critical - remember to let peace wash over you. Extend the proverbial olive branch instead of your negative thoughts, actions or words. Find items of peace to display in your home, office and car. You may even find it powerful to imagine a white dove perched on your shoulder or the shoulder of someone who is exhibiting anger, criticism and judgment.

Please remember that peace is not just a thought - it is indeed a powerful action that can bring about great transformation. Use peace to help you through our daily lives and you will be helping the world become a better place along the way.

We are ever indebted to you all for this opportunity to address this most important topic and we wish you all very peaceful lives.

With love and peace,

Friend

The power of Peace

2007-05-20T10:31:45-04:00

Greetings to all!

There is so much going on in the world these days that needs attention. Everyday there are events and circumstances which are violent to the earth and the people on it. Now more than ever with the advent of the instant worldwide media coverage people need to focus on peace, rather than concentrating on the destruction and violence they are witnessing. Even though it weighs heavily on your minds - you mustn't allow your minds to be bogged down in "worry". Instead - take action and pray for peace. Send peace, love and harmony to any place, person or thing that is causing harm instead of dread, fear, hatred and worry.

People are being barraged with so much violence that it is destroying the very belief in peace and love that can cure it. It sounds trite - but peace really is the way. And peace needs to be cultivated from the heart and then sent out like a beacon. Peace is very powerful, and while it seems gentle and docile - it can triumph over even the most horrific atrocities.

If everyone on the planet would wake up each day and pray for peace it would truly end all war and violence. It would change the course of history and overthrow the destructive leaders. Peace and the power it holds can not be shirked as a grandiose idea or simply a nice thought for those sitting in the church pew - it is a very real power with formidable action. One not called upon nearly enough. So when you see images on T.V. or the Internet or any other media sources that disturb you - close your eyes and send peace to that circumstance. Visualize peace enveloping that situation. You can imagine peace is a soft blue cloud that completely engulfs the situation or use any other image that you desire. By spending just 1/2 a minute on sending peace to that image - you will accomplish 2 important things. First, you will set yourself free from that violence - for even just witnessing or viewing the violence permeates your soul and can - if allowed - will live there in your heart forever. So to quickly send peace you are releasing it from your own heart and soul. Secondly, you will actually help transform the situation. It may seem illogical that 1 person can make a difference - or that anyone could effect the past. However, you will be helping to heal the wounds created and helping the world learn from that incident and more over - heal the past, present and future wounds from that entire situation. When all people on earth do this - the world will be a completely different experience. Until then - even 1 person can begin to make the difference. And if it is too difficult to comprehend how you can help that situation - at least you will feel the positive effects that 1/2 a minute of peace projecting will have on your own heart and mind. So with that - we invite you to not only pray for peace but to project peace as well. You will find that this action will have a profound effect on your own personal life as well. Your life will naturally evolve to a more peaceful existence. Things, people and events that do not resonate peacefully will gradually fade from your life. The beauty of peace is its truly transformable powers. And these powers WILL be felt by anyone practicing the art of peace projecting.

We wish you all a very peaceful life and are honored to have had this opportunity to address the power of peace with you. We are grateful for this time with you.

Love,

Friend

Friend:

Good day to all - we are with you here in love and light and wish to address the topic of universal Love.

You are all love - feel it breathe through your whole body. Let it permeate your entire world. Practice the art of being love and watch your personal world evolve. Love is really the bottom line. Love is the first emotion of existance. From light/consciousness comes love. So to "be" love and the exude love you are emiting your soul's emotion, your connection to source/one. Through love all is possible, with love all is there for you. If you have nothing else but love, you have it all. For through love you have yourself, your soul, and your connection to One. Love IS your connection to One! Love will set you free. As you experience this universal love we are speaking about. You will find that all that used to worry you is completely disapated and disolved away. You will find others act more peacefully and harmoniously towards you. You will find you look at the world with loving eyes. You will no longer hold contempt or judge or critisize. You will look at the world as you do a puppy or a baby - with loving eyes. knowing that the world is not perfect but is learning and growing. You will look at those around you in the same way. For all humans are learning and growing and developing - just as a puppy or a baby. Through eminating universal love, you will find you will be happer. You will be filled with a deep soulful joy that is nourishing and plentiful. You will notice that this joy is much deeper and truer than any othe joy you have known. For this joy is truly from the soul. It is a gift from your soul - to celebrate your connection to One, your soul, yourself and the world around you. As you travel the world with love you will find all kinds of wonderful experiences delivered to you. For love is the currency of the universe. It is what pays your way into a wonderful life. The more love you exude and deliver to the world, the more bountiful your life will be. Love replaces all worry, freight, fear and stress. For with love you need nothing else. Love will deliver you from the place of lack. Love will deliver you from the dark side of life.

Today, anytime something bothers you or upsets you - practice sending love instead of anger, frustration or irritation. Watch how fast the sitution is transformed. You will be amazed. Love truly eases all pain.

With love,

Friend

Traci: Friend, do you have any words of wisdom to help people who are trying to figure out and understand what's happening right now in the universe and how to live to the fullest in spite of it all.

Friend: Firstly, we wish to say that we are delighted to have this forum to communicate with you and the world.

Secondly, we wish to welcome the readers to our blog. This will be a delightful medium for you to deliver our messages and thoughts to the world.

Now, let us begin by clarifying with you that there are so many levels of your questions and we wish to help you with all of them.

It is and always will be our goal to help those of you on earth to identify the value of your lives and to live to the fullest by connecting to your highest selves. People get so caught up in living the demands of their lives and the pressures from their activities, responsibilities and chores that they often forget themselves in the process. This is so easy to do when you are completely overwhelmed with trying to accomplish so much in so little time.

The more you can do, the more you do and the more you do, the more you expect to do more. It goes on and on and on - like a big spinning wheel. Life is moving so fast in this century and that's OK - in fact it is in time. But, you must remember that you are more than your blackberries and more than your cell-phones, emails and blogs....you are more than your career and more than your hobbies, more than your children's homework and activities.

You are a spiritual being as well and in order to best process all of this wonderfully high tech and very advanced information and fast paced activities and accelerated lives you must also remember to "plug in" to your soul self, your essential spirit. To "reboot" yourself every once in a while so that you can download even more new and wonderfully advanced information and technology and activities. If you downloaded new programs all day long each day to your computer and only rebooted each night - your PC would crash. Of course it is recommended to reboot after each new download or added program to keep the PC working properly.

We suggest that you take little moments to "reboot" your body, mind and your spirit throughout each day. Yes, you reboot each night during your sleep - however, to actually help facilitate the incoming information that your lives deliver to you all day long, it is recommended that you find the little moments to stop and breathe and get back to yourselves. This may seem so insignificant, so inconsequential. It is not. We are here to say to you that you do not need to take big giant steps in overhauling your life. You do not need to change the entire way you live. You simply need to make very small but very conscious steps toward listening, hearing, being with your highest selves. Even just a tiny step in that direction will lead to a better you.

Your souls are calling - and the way to answer is by simply stopping for a minute and listen. This act of "listening" might actually be listening to inspirations or beautiful music or it might be getting up and walking around the room to stretch your legs. It might be to look out of the window and stare at the scenery for a moment to clear your head. It can really be very simple and easy acts of "listening". It might also be to actually sit quietly and listen to your own thoughts.

With love,

Friend

INTRODUCTION FROM TRACI

The Reluctant Messenger

When I first began channeling in 1988 I wasn't sure I really accepted what was happening or where these messages were coming from and that it was not simply messages from my own subconscious.

Earlier in my twenties, I had visited a hypnotherapist and a reiki therapist for some deep healing for a chronic illness. They each separately told me that I was a "channeler." Now, I had been studying metaphysics and was very much into the "new age" movement at that time. What I knew of "channeling" was actually called "trance channeling" where people went into a trance and didn't recall anything that they were communicating. So when they told me I was a "channeler" - I said no thanks! I didn't want anything to do with that weirdness. Well, several years later I found myself channeling. While I don't go into a "trance", I do quite my mind and create the space to receive messages. For me, the term "channeler" is simply another word for messenger. I receive messages from the non-physical world and deliver them to the physical world.

Once a psychic always a psychic

I don't know why my channeling ability surprised me because I had always been a very intuitive and dare I say, psychic child. At a very young age I began describing events and places that my family knew I had never been to with shocking detail and accuracy. I also found that I sensed what others were feeling and thinking and would often speak this to their surprise. However, as I grew and discovered that not everyone had these "senses" I began to withdraw from them. And then in my twenties it all came flooding back. I began realizing that I had in deed been communicating with the other side my whole life. So once I accepted this strange and wonderful connection, I began honoring it by delivering messages to those seeking them.

A Friend indeed

I have been channeling a group of entities who call themselves "Friend" for the past twenty years. Friend is a collective unit of entities and energies from beyond working to deliver messages of love and light. Their messages offer guidance and support to us as we travel on our life's journeys. They are very loving, peaceful beings who want nothing more than to help us each find our own way. Their messages are gentle and wise and often very prophetic. These messages resonate even more as life unfolds for us, because we gain the experience needed to more fully understand their meaning. Friend helps us by shedding love and light on the situations we are going through. Their gift is that of peace and understanding. I hope you find them and their message as comforting as the many who have experienced them before you. I am honored to deliver Friend's messages and hope you enjoy this blog and their messages as their gift to you.

In love and light,

Traci
