The Growing Pains & Joys of Ascension!

As our world shifts into ever higher vibrations, we too shift into a higher octave of love and light. I cannot and will not speak for other 'ascension-ologists', but when I say that we are shifting into a higher vibration I do not mean this in some abstract sense. I mean this in a literal sense. We are literally being re-wired from the inside out and the outside in! 'As within, so without, as above so below'. Not only is time literally speeding up, not only are energies affecting us from 'out there', but--just like the butterfly which goes into the cacoon stage to begin its process of DNA transformation--we too are in the process of a transformation not only of our minds and souls, but also of our bodies.

Remember the scientific-philosophical conundrum about all our cells being replaced every 7 years, and yet we still retain the consistency of body and memories? Well it's like that with ascension, except that...it's a whole lot faster. Lower vibrating energies are slower and higher one's are faster in vibration, so in one sense the experience of 'time' is a product of vibration. As we ascend, which means to rise upwards, we become less heavy and instead lighter. You could say en-light-ened!

On the weekend just gone, I was watching the film 'Herby' at my auntie's, which is about a car that is alive. At one point, the character's decide to give Herby a new engine. Of course, part of me perceived Herby to be purely 'physical' because he was a car, and therefore if he was to undergo drastic physical alterations, that which makes Herby may cease to exist. But of course the whole moral of the story is that Herby really is alive, and therefore has a soul! So no matter how many times he receives a make-over (gets a new body) that which makes Herby 'Herby' still exists.

And so it is with us. We are, in a sense, receiving new 'bodies'--of mind, soul, and physical self--all the time, as we integrate the new energies. The result? We experience growing pains, just as we experienced physical growing pains as children. And just as our birth into physicality involved great pain as well as joy, so too the ascension process involves great pains and great joys!

So what are some of the symptoms of ascension, of spiritual trance-formation?

1). Just like the new children coming in, we will experience becoming more sensitive to the world around us and the world within us.

2). We may find ourselves being drawn to 'quieter' activities and spending more time alone due to our increased sensitivities. This is so we can integrate any changes within our own 'spatial awareness.'

3). You may find yourself becoming more sensitive to negativity in the world. For e.g. television, especially the news, will seem dense and depressing! The answer to this one is obvious...

4). We may feel actual pains in our bodies and mind's. The key is to remain detached for these are what I talked about earlier--growing pains--and take care of one's self. (Anything relaxing like spending time in natural surroundings, having a hot warm bath with a candle, really help). Remember that growth involves 'pain' but that is different from negative! Who would say that your birth was 'negative', and if you were to have avoided your birth process...well, you wouldn't be here now!

5). We may experience unusual bodily sensations, feeling weird, spaced out, for no apparent reason. This is often due to ascension energies, and we would do well to remember to ground ourselves at these times with exercise, rocks, trees etc.

6). We may experience real physical changes in our bodies. For e.g., a few years back I suddenly developed a strange rash all over my skin after meditation. It went red and then blistered. I was considering seeing a doctor, but then I remembered to try an organic sea-salt bath, and the rash cleared up! Salt baths are particularly good for ascension related bodily pains or skin-sensitivities. By all means see a doctor, do not take risks with your health, but try natural solutions whenever possible especially at these times!

7) Talking of natural solutions, we will also find ourselves reacting badly to poor quality foods, chemicals etc. A change in diet, wholesome whole-grain, high fibre (for grounding) organic foods are preferable.

8) We may experience feeling 'lighter'. This is of course the bodily sensation of enlightenment. Becoming more awake--'enlightened'--literally involves feeling lighter! As good as this may feel, it is important not to become addicted to the sensation of flying, and instead remember to ground ourselves by imagining growing roots into the earth, connecting with anything natural like trees and rocks, and also eating more to keep us grounded (especially if your sensitive and/or have always been slight).

9) We may consciously experience the speeding up of time.The hands of your watch or clock will not spin in front of your eyes, but mental awareness of time speeding up will be very obvious to those awakening. This can be disorientating and lead to time and organisation related problems or even feeling anxious or 'hyper'. One possible answer here is to do anything that is grounding, especially to keep an eye on the time--if you never used to wear a watch, now is the time!--and to keep a daily diary. If you can, that is, if time doesn't go too fast for you to fill it out! ;-)

10) You will also experience emotional releases. Crying apparently for no reason. Just let yourself cry and then forget about it. because time is speeding up all energy healing passes through our bodies more quickly. I always tell my clients about the psychic-reading process in relation to this. When you read for someone, you become their mirror. You must tell them what you see, hear or feel. If you get a pain in the heart, tell them, because if you don't the pain will stay there until you do! The simple act of owning an energy let's it pass through you to be transcended. You do not even require a conscious understanding of it. make it easy on yourselves. The great thing about ascension and time-acceleration (time, remember, is really 'the frequency of vibration') is that an e-motion (energy in motion) that could have taken a week, month, or longer to clear before, can now pass in no time at all, because it moves at a quicker pace through your own personal s-pace!

There are many more symptoms of ascension, but this is just an introduction. If you'd like an intuitive-energetic reading to work on your ascension related questions or personal process, feel free to telephone me via 12Listen:

What is Ascension 2012? 'Crash' Course!

Well hopefully I haven't thrown a spanner in the works by calling this a 'crash course', when it's meant to be about ascending onwards and upwards! ;-) In any case, my work as a Lightworker involves very much what I call 'the physics of personal and collective Ascension'. Many of my psychic-chanelled readings involve references to personal and collective 'consciousness evolution', and of course because the new kids (the indigos etc.) are the product of the Ascension process, the two go hand in hand.

This is a very deep subject which you may have heard about under the name of '2012' or 'the Age of Aquarius', or may not have heard about it at all. Whatever you may or may not have heard, do not be put off by the esoteric sounding name, for 'ascension' is a phenomenon which affects us all--whatever we may believe--and even if we feel more like we're 'crashing' at times (which is all part of the course, me thinks!) The following is a simple introduction, a crash course (oops, there we go again) in Ascension physics ..

I like to think of Ascension as a form of evolution. Evolution of consciousness can occur at any time and is possible because of the very construct we call 'time'. Evolution is, in simple terms, the changing and growing of form and consciousness as myriad expressions of the God-force (the timeless and formless) across space-time. Evolution of consciousness is also the evolution of body, not just mind, for the mind and body are One, not separate.

Many of us have heard from science the mysterious phenomenon of the replacement of all cells within us every seven years, cells within every part of our bodies including the brain. The question is, after all that, how on earth does the 'I'--the self--still exist? You could even argue that the 'I' of today--mind as well as body--is not the same 'I' that existed seven years ago or even yesterday!

I am suggesting that in the world of illusion nothing is static or solid. It is all fluid and changing form. The process of 'death' which is the same as re-birth is occuring and reoccuring every moment. The only thing we can be really sure of in the world of form is that nothing stays the same, even though we may choose to perceive that it does! The third law of thermodynamics says, 'Energy cannot be destroyed, it only changes form'. And, likewise, through the process of Ascension we 'human-beings' (really souls) cannot die but only change form, just as the caterpillar becomes the butterfly. (And which, by the way, is one of the few animals which totally re-writes it's DNA, nothing less than a form of biological alchemy).

But when I refer to 'death', I am not necessarily referring to that big event at the 'end' of our lives! No, I am referring to the very deaths--aka transformations--that occur within our beings at the level of mind, cell, and energy, all of the time. The Butterfly is, of course, a beautiful representation of this process for us.

What I am suggesting is that we can and are evolving. Monkeys may not be jumping out of the trees and walking, and we may not be sprouting feathers and flying, but we are evolving nonetheless! Some of us take part in this process 'actively'--by, for e.g., practises like meditation and healing--and yet we ALL take part in this process 'passively'. Whatever we think or embody we add to the energetic-evolutionary pool of potential and actual expression. What do I mean? Well again, without getting into the detail (just yet anyway!), everything within our reality is inter-connected. It is like our minds (and hence bodies) are connected by a superhighway of informational-light akin to all the computers of the world connected by internet. I find it curious that the word Universe contains 'uni' the prefix for 'one'! Maybe someone is trying to tell us something...

So if evolution is something that always happens, why is it such a big subject these days? Well, when I was growing up, I was fascinated by the number 3 and any multiple thereof. This led to a big fascination with the number 12. I realised in my teens that the date 2012 was significant. Taking the numbers further, 21st of December 2012 contains an awful lot of 12's! Imagine my surprise, then, to start hearing more and more about the date of 21/12/2012. One of the main sources for the 2012 date comes from the Mayan's, whose calendar 'ends' on that date. Some have foreseen this as meaning that the world 'ends' on this date, some that it is only an ending of the world as we know it. Either way, the date remains highly significant in people's minds the world over.

What do I believe? I believe that because we are all energetic beings, and because we are all interconnected by what I call the 'Universal Wide Web'(or what physicists refer to as quantum entanglement), whatever happens 'in here' or 'out there' affects the rest of the 'All That Is Everywhere'. Philosophy aside, the very same '7 year' process that happens within our cells happens within the 'cells' of the Earth, and indeed within the cells of the Universal.

'As within so without, as above so below'.

In today's language, we might wish to refer to the Universe as a Hologram. Whatever terminology we choose to use, though, every now and then within the world of form allowed by space-time there is a galactic wave of energy from the Source--like a Galactic Wake Up Call--the Earth aligns to the Galactic core, and all beings receive a crescendo of Light and Love. As we head towards the peak of the Ascension process on 21/12/2012, time speeds up and is perceived as non-linear which thereby speeds up the process of evolution, we have a more vivid experience of 'cause and effect' so that we more quickly see the results of our thoughts and actions (manifestation) and more readily understand and release our karma. Because of the speed at which this occurs, it is in other words a Quickening process, and so I refer to the Ascension as being a special form of evolution known as an 'evolution r-evolution'. (Which, of course, allows for rapidly evolved children to appear, known as 'indigo', 'crystal', and 'star' children).

All those who can--i.e. who choose--to move from a place of fear (Solar Plexus issues, 3d) into Love (Heart chakra, 4d) have the choice of another time-stream of evolution by making a leap into at least the 4th dimension. And thereby, the possibility of Heaven upon Earth can become a spiritual and physical reality for us all...
