Update on Ascension Symptoms

I just got this newsletter today from my spiritual friend in New Mexico, Sharon Cheney, and it resonated

with my own process, so I wanted to share it with you. I hope it's helpful. I am experiencing all of these symptoms right now, and it's so easy to forget how much we are affected by the shifts and changes within that eventually are for a good purpose, but in the moment feel dissonant. Let me know how you're feeling these days and if any of this resonates with you. Hugs and encouragement for all that is.

June 2013 Knowledge Newsletter by Sharon Cheney

Dear Friends,

We are all going through a process of transformation whether we are aware of it or not. As you go through this period of change, you may experience a variety of symptoms as you adjust to the higher consciousness which was anchored onto the planet on December 2012.

Ascension Symptoms

Below are some of the changes and symptoms you may experience. If you have been experiencing any of these changes, please do not think there is something wrong with you or that you are seriously ill. Normally these symptoms do not persist more than a few weeks or may be intermittent. I speak from experience as I have experienced almost all of the symptoms described below. Should any symptoms persist for a longer time, please consult a medical professional.

Fatigue: You may experience body aches and pains as well as fatigue without cause. Your body is losing density and is going through intense restructuring. As the body goes through these changes, it requires a lot of energy to upgrade your light body with the end result being that you will be freed of dis-ease, aging, and limitations.

Intuition: Your intuition will increase as your DNA changes from carbon to silicon based. Think of a silicon chip in your computer and how much information can be stored on it. With silicon based DNA you will be able to remember what is on your soul record and access other information from the higher realms. This is occurring because of the higher frequency energy on the planet. Higher energy is the equivalent of more information and leads to more intuitive insights.

Heart Centered: You may feel more heart centered, compassionate and creative as you open to greater cosmic consciousness because the pineal and pituitary glands are opening fully to function as they were designed to do. Being heart centered is also a sign of fifth dimensional consciousness where we feel one with all that exists.

Sensitivities: There will be an increase in your sensitivities. You may become sensitive to things that never bothered you in the past like smoke, smells, negative people or places, noise, foods, violence, etc. You can be easily overwhelmed and overstimulated. You may have an intolerance for lower vibration energies that come up in conversations, expressed attitudes, and societal structures. This occurs because you are resonating at a higher vibration now and your energies are no longer in alignment.

If you are seeing or hearing things, it is because you are experiencing different dimensions. This will occur depending on how sensitive you are. It is also a reflection of your level of soul evolution. More evolved souls have access to the higher dimensional information so you are not being singled out to experience weird things.

Polarization: You may have noticed that you are no longer comfortable in the company of people you have known for some time. You may feel a need to withdraw or take a step back from some family members or friends as you are evolving more quickly than they are, causing a disparity in vibration between your energy and theirs. You may feel drawn to new people who are more compatible with the new you or you may prefer to be alone.

Trust:  As challenges arise in your life, you will be asked to move forward with trust instead of fear. I know this is easy to say and hard to do especially when we do not know what the future will look like. We are living in a time where the past is over and we are creating a new way of being and living. Our future will not look like our past and we must be willing to go through this transition period with trust that everything will be okay until we are fully anchored into the new future that awaits us.

Sadness: You may experience emotional ups and downs, weeping or a deep inner sadness for no apparent reason as you release and transmute past experiences. You may also feel a need to cry for no apparent reason. This is a healthy way to release pent-up old emotions that have been locked in the cells of your body for a long time. Just allow yourself to cry and let go instead of question why.

Anxiety and panic: You may experience fear and anxiety as you let go of behaviour patterns that you developed for survival in third dimension. These behaviors are no longer needed in the higher realms. This can be confusing and make you feel vulnerable and powerless. If you feel like you are going insane or must be developing a mental illness of some sort, this will pass. You are rapidly experiencing several dimensions at once and are just not used to it.

Changes:  You may feel a need for a sudden change of job or career, to move or have a new relationship. The outer world is a reflection of our inner world. As you change internally, your life circumstances may no longer reflect the new you. Don't worry if these new desires do not manifest immediately. They will when the timing is right.

Your plans may suddenly change in mid-stream and go in a completely different direction. While this may seem strange to you, it is best to listen to what feels right to you within rather than doing what you have always done. Your soul knows best what is good for you and is guiding you to place. Finding peace and trusting everything will be okay as you go through these changes is the real challenge.

Sleep Patterns: You may have new sleep patterns where you awaken during the night, require less sleep or have periods of deep sleep. The body's need for rest can be acquired through meditative practices or with a lessor amount than previously required. There are a lot of change going on in your body and energy fields. If you cannot get back to sleep, get up and do something productive rather than lying in bed worrying.

Eating Patterns: As your body adjusts to this higher state of existence, you may require little to no sustenance, although always drink a lot of water. There may be a need to eat often, experience attacks of low blood sugar and a craving for protein. There can be weight gain, especially in the abdominal area with an inability to lose weight no matter what you do. Your body requires an enormous amount of fuel for this ascension process so trust that your body knows what it is doing.

Loneliness:  You may experience feelings of loneliness, even while in the company of others. You may feel alone, removed from others, and will not want to be in groups of people. Your feelings of aloneness may cause you to feel anxious and lead to difficulty relating to others. It may be difficult to explain why you feel as you do and others may have difficulty relating to you or understanding what you are going through unless they are experiencing something similar. [SP note: On the flip side of this, you may also feel like you can't handle being around others in the same ways you did in the past.]

Dreams: Intense dreams may occur which can include vivid dreams of violence, chases or scary situations as you release old lower vibrational energy from past lives and experiences of which you are unaware. Even if these dreams are unpleasant, they are beneficial. Night sweats and hot flashes may also occur as your body burns off the residue.

Disorientation: You may feel physically disoriented, ungrounded or spatially challenged as if you are walking between two worlds during this adjustment period. If may be difficult to remember where you were going and what you came into a room to get. There may be a feeling of loss of identity like not knowing who you are any longer and a loss of a sense of place in the world. This disorientation is occurring because as your consciousness transitions to the new energy, your body lags behind. It is a good idea to spend more time in nature to help you ground these new energies.

Out of Body Experience: You may at times feel out of your body, as though someone is talking, but it is not you. This is a natural defense mechanism when we are under acute stress, feeling traumatized or out of control. Your body is going through a lot and you may not want to be in it. This is a way of easing the transition process so that you do not need to experience what your body is going through.

Loss of Identity: You may experience a loss of identity as you try to access the old you which is no longer there. You may not know who you are looking at in the mirror. You have cleared much of your old patterns and are now embodying much more light and a more purified divine you. You may notice yourself talking to yourself more as a new level of communication takes place within. The conversations will become more fluid, coherent and insightful with time. You are not going crazy, just communicating with your guidance and Higher Self.

You may short term memory loss and only vague remembrances of your past. You are living in more than one dimension at a time. Sometimes in going back and forth, you may experience a disconnection.

Life Purpose: You may have a strong desire to know your life purpose and how you can fulfill it. Your life purpose is the sharing of accumulated gifts and knowledge acquired in previous lives and can be a need to help, heal, bring joy, teach just to name a few. You can recognize your life purpose because it will always make you feel good and you can do it easily.

Loss of Passion: You may feel totally dis-impassioned, with little or no desire to do anything. Take this time to do nothing and don't fight yourself on this. Your body knows what it needs. It's similar to rebooting a computer. You need to shut down for a brief period of time in order to load the sophisticated new software or in this case, the new Christ-seed energy.

The new energy supports the feminine mode of basking, receiving, creating, self-care and nurturing. Get in the habit of asking the Universe to manifest what you want while you are enjoy yourself and having fun.

A Desire to Go Home: This is a feeling of not wanting to be here any longer or having an overwhelming desire to return Home. This is not suicidal urges based on anger or frustration. It comes from remembering who you truly are and wanting to be your true Self. This feeling can be especially strong for highly evolved souls and people who have off planet origins, as many souls came to the planet Earth from other star systems. While you can leave your body if you wish, you are really needed here to help with the planet's transition to fifth dimension. This is why you choose to incarnate at this time - to be a teacher and a way shower for others.

The Crystal Necklace

The Crystal Necklace

by Sandy Penny

A little reminiscence from my New Zealand Journey of the Rainbow

Before I left for New Zealand in 1993, my old friend Margaret gave me a chakra necklace as a traveling gift. Chakras are the energy centers in the body, and this necklace was a quartz crystal pendant with seven stones representing the seven chakras (see photo). The stones went from bottom to top, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. I wore the necklace all the time to stay in connection with my friend and to balance the energy of my chakras. It was one of my prized possessions. I seldom wore jewelry, but when I did, it was always a powerful symbol for me. I wore this one all the time.

I had been living at and doing readings at the Crystal Web shop at Takapuna Village for a few weeks. My little apartment was one room and did not have air conditioning. That wasn't unusual in Aukland, but this was a particularly hot, dry summer. I opened the door to allow the air to circulate better, and took a nap on the couch. I was just about to fall asleep when I felt a presence in the room. I startled awake and found a man standing at my doorway looking into the room. I wasn't sure what to do, and didn't know if I was safe, so I asked Spirit if everything was OK. I was told, that yes, everything was fine, but I still felt a little unsure, so I got up and walked to the door and asked if I could help the raggedy dirty man who was silently standing there.

He looked at his feet and  shook his head side to side but did not say anything. I asked if he'd like a cup of tea, and he mumbled that he would. I plugged in the electric kettle and prepared the cups and made a simple black tea and offered honey, which was all I had at the moment. He shook his head yes, and I poured the hot water onto the tea bags, added the wonderful New Zealand Manuka honey that I had been gifted by the Maori Tohunga, medicine man. Thinking he might be hungry, I cut up an apple I had bought from the open produce market downstairs.

I took the cups and the apple slices outside, and we sat on the stairs. The man was obviously in some sort of distress, but he was very difficult to understand as he continually looked down and mumbled his words so badly that I could barely make out what he was saying. I patiently asked him some questions and gathered that he had just been released from jail, that he had addiction problems, and that most of all, he was very sad that his wife would not let him see his baby daughter unless he got clean and sober and got a job and began paying child support.

He was in deep distress, and I wasn't sure how to help him, but I asked Spirit for guidance on what to do. I felt that I should offer to do an energy healing, and so I did. I had him sit in a chair, and I aligned myself with the highest and best good for all concerned. I was inspired to take the necklace off and put it on him while I did the healing. I explained that it would help balance his energy and he seemed happy to allow it. I worked on him for about half an hour, sending energy through my hands to every area of his body that drew my attention. It was intense. When I was finished with the healing, I felt the need to offer that he continue to wear the necklace until he was healed, and that he could bring it back to me when all was well.

I felt sad because once again Spirit was asking me to release something that was important to me. I did not think I would ever see the necklace again, as this man was not likely to be healed anytime soon. But, that was the way of Spirit with me at the time. Material things were secondary to people. My work, my life was with people. And, so I opened my heart and released the necklace to its highest and best purpose, the purpose of healing and balancing this broken man.

About a  month later, I had moved away from the Crystal Web, and now lived several miles away at my new friend Maurice's house. The phone rang, and Maurice handed it to me, saying it was Jane from the Crystal Web. I hadn't spoke with her in a couple of weeks, so I was happy for the call. She asked if there was any way I could come to the shop right then. She said it was important, but didn't want to tell me about it unless I was there in person. I asked Maurice if he could drive me there, and always happy to visit the crystals which were his passion, he agreed.

When we arrived at the shop and exchanged hugs, I asked Jane what was so urgent. She pointed out a young man across the store and asked if I knew who he was. I said that I didn't remember ever seeing him before, and she took me over to introduce me. He was clean-shaven, well dressed and introduced himself as Mark. He looked somehow familiar, but I wasn't sure why. He put his hand into his pocket and pulled out my crystal chakra necklace. "How did you get this?," I asked. He said, "You gave it to me to wear until I was healed. When you did a healing on me."

A light of recognition came over me, and I realized that this was the raggedy man I had worked on that day. I couldn't believe it. He was speaking in strong confident words. He looked me directly in the eyes, and he stood straight and tall. He was a completely different man, and yet, I could see he was telling the truth.

He told me that after that healing, that he had gone to a shelter that had a rehab program, and that he had gotten clean and sober, and had found a job. He was working regularly, and that best of wall, he now had visitation rights for his daughter. He and his wife did not get back together, but the important thing for him was his daughter. It was truly miraculous. A thrill went through my whole body. We don't often get to see the results of our spiritual work.

He handed me the necklace, and thanked me for that day. He said it changed his life, that no one would even try to listen to him before that. Everyone had given up on him, even his family. He knew it was hard for me and that I felt afraid when he showed up, but the fact that I helped him anyway made all the difference for him. I tried to get him to keep the necklace, but he said, "No, our deal was that I would return it when I was healed, and I know that I am healed." I put the necklace on and hugged him and thanked him for returning it. It was a good day in world of healing.

[Personal note about crystals: I have used crystals in healing and other spiritual work, and at the same time, no tools are really needed other than one's personal higher self connection. However, crystals, as with all forms of manifestation, have a purpose on this earth, and by connecting with that purpose and using them as tools for that purpose, we honor and advance these beings that so generously serve us by their very existence. If you are drawn to a particular crystal for a particular purpose, know that it is communicating with you and has chosen you to help fulfill its mission.]
