How to Be Powerful When You Feel Overwhelmed

A message of deep reassurance and practical energetic truth from Andrea and the Emissaries of Light

Note: This is an excerpt from a live, in-person channeling session offered to my Reiki students in the United Kingdom. The recording is the original, live audio from the event and the transcript is below.

Please just be comfortable and just take a couple of deep breaths and I'd like for you to feel the breath, feel the sensation of your body. The breath anchors your energy within your body. And without the breath, you are not in the body any longer.

You are asked to pay more attention to your breath and your breathing. You are asked to tune into your body more at times when you wish for peace. When you wish to have the chaos of the world end, you cannot do that, but in your own mind and body. And so you are invited to come back to your body, yourself, your mind, and your care.

At times of unrest, at times of worry, at times when you see the suffering in the world and you feel helpless, come back to the body and minister to your soul. It is in doing this that your vibration changes and your vibration attenuates for what has your heart's attention. Whether you are thinking about it or not, it happens on a deeper level.

So the act of coming back to your body and tuning into yourself, nurturing yourself, feeling the breath within the body—it is this simple. The practice of doing that actually attenuates and attunes your energy in ways that you make a difference to those things that have your heart's attention.

It is very simple but we want you to understand this. We want you to know that all of the answers that you seek in helping your world shift into a higher vibration, they all begin with you. They all begin with how you practice and show up for yourself, not for the external world, not for the situations, not to help him, her, or the next thing. It is all about helping yourself. 

And you've been told many years that this is arrogant, selfish, who are you to think of yourself above all others? And this is not true. For when you come home to the body and when you nurture yourself, you care for all. It is an act of love in the highest degree. And in this way, you love all, you align all. You welcome all home to the light of who they are and the remembrance of this.

So you are not saying that you are most important. 

You are saying that you are the key. 

You are the gateway to wellbeing, to compassion, to remembrance of light. 

You are the key. 

You are the gateway. 

And you hold the power to release the energy that calls others home to their remembrance of who they are. 

And so she [Andrea] is asking in this moment, how does Reiki fit into this? Because this is why we are gathered. And we will say to you that Reiki, as a foundation, is about self-healing, you see. So these two concepts are married beautifully together—intertwined, you might say.

Reiki is one way to the path of remembering the light of who you are, who you always have been, and who you shall forever be. There are other pathways. Those seated in this room have been called to this pathway at this time. Other pathways that they may have followed previously are valuable, and experience is valuable as we offered earlier.

There is no right path or wrong path. There is simply the path. 

The path of now, the path that is in resonance. And you are invited to follow the path that is in resonance for you at any given moment. 

And if you reach a time where Reiki fades away and another path illuminates, do not feel badly. Do not feel remorseful. Do not feel ashamed that you leave one pathway for another, for all people evolve and grow, and this is to be celebrated. And so you can always return to a path from the past, but always move in resonance with your soul, what feels right to you. This is the way you move through the world in an enlightened way.

This is the way you align yourself to the purpose that you chose before you chose this body, and that you were birthed into this world of form and possibilities, where unification of energy and Earth occur. Humanity is on a trajectory now of great importance, and many in the universe look upon you with loving eyes, grateful eyes—or other senses that are more in tune with their own physicality or energy. 

And so, just simply know that what you do here and the struggles and your choices and everything that occurs for you is with greater purpose than you could ever know. One pebble dropped in the water of a pond makes ripples. And from the human perspective, the ripples end at the shoreline, and we tell you, they continue through the land, through the air, and eternity. 

Do not think yourself small. Do not think yourself insignificant. You are here with purpose. You are here with energy. The breath fills your body, emanates from you, and you do change the world. Let it be known. Let it be felt. You are immense in your potential, and all you have done thus far is in preparation for this next moment and the next and the next.

Please do not shrink away from what we are saying—thinking you are not worthy, you cannot live up. 

For this is simply an illusion—illusion based in limiting beliefs born of yesterday. We are inviting you to step forward. Feel the breath in the body in this moment. This is your essence. Nothing that was said prior to you matters now.

Now you redefine yourself based on the parameters of your choosing, your new agreements. You are free to do this. No one limits you, except you and the agreements that you make from this moment forward.

It is your decision to make. No one else can make this decision for you to step forward into the light of who you are. It is the light of who you are, so it is completely in resonance with you. All you are simply doing is taking the blinders off that you have been wearing because as the sun shines in every moment, so are you the light in every moment.

You simply decide to see yourself in other ways. And there is nothing wrong with this. It is simply the human way until you ascend in your knowing and your awareness and can fathom a different way of being. And many questions may arise from this. How do I continue in this relationship or that job? Or, you know, the mundane things of everyday life?

And we will ask you to not worry about these things, but remember to come home to the self. Nurture and love and support the self in the breath in the body, and know that your energy attenuates and attunes to what is needed in that moment. You are never stagnant in your energy. You are vital. You are multi-dimensional in every moment.

It is simply that you do not see yourself or feel yourself all the time in this way. This is by design, so please do not feel that you need to know or you need to understand in order to fulfill what you came here to do. There is much you will never know in your current state of a spirit living in a human body.

This is by design.

Please do not ask for what is not in your highest good. To understand the universe and every mystery is not in your highest good at this time or this place in your journey. So we ask you to relinquish what is not in your highest good to know. Knowing is not everything, although many have told you otherwise.

There is great importance on your thinking mind, and you, you think and you decide and imagine and reflect about all of the ways that you focus on your mental capabilities. Your societies, your cultures, all, we would say, emphasize the power of the mind. And yes, the mind is quite powerful, but the thinking part of it often leads you into trouble because the thinking mind can talk you into and out of just about everything.

It can be hard to find clarity through thinking. And again, we say the answer is go within yourself. Feeling the breath in the body, the movement of the body, the wonder of your body. The many thousands of chemical processes happening within your body right now in the trillions of cells that are within—is this not a miracle? Is this not a universe unto itself? And yet you often look outside yourself to find what nourishes you. 

Going within and beholding the beauty of your body, the processes, and the very fact that you are here…please never overlook this and know that you carry that universe with you in every moment. You are divine in nature by design and by process that continues with every second that you are alive, your breath breathing into the body. It is a remembrance of your vitality and that you are creating. You are creative and you are here, and it is something to celebrate.

 You will succeed. This is a message we want you to know. 

No matter what your mind tells you, you will succeed. You are invited to continue a practice of daily awareness within the body as we have described to you. This is your homework, so to speak. You love homework, we know—many of you. You are students and learners, and you are curious. And this has led you to where you sit in this moment. It will continue to guide you, inspire you, and you are asked to listen. Listen to the guidance that led you here to this moment, sitting in this chair, listening to these words. 

An orchestration. Yes, a beautiful symphony playing. A beautiful sound. Many variables coming together, many, many decisions made by you, perhaps by your higher self, and through counsel. Through counsel of energies that help you and guide you, and support you. 

You are not alone. No matter how bleak it may seem, no matter how alone you may feel, no matter what darkness you move through, you are a being of light. You are held and supported, and cared for in ways that you cannot understand. 

We, the Emissaries of Light are with you now as well, and you are invited to commune with us. You are invited to ask for our counsel. We will be present, and how you engage with us may be up to you. You need not ask her for permission. We are giving it to you now. We are open to you now.

There are no shoulds and there are no should nots. Follow the discernment within yourself. Trust yourself and move through the life that you create through discernment, and you will know joy.

We thank you for your time, your attention, and for simply feeling this message, feeling these words, and the energy that comes through. All is encoded in energy for each of you to accept or to set aside, whatever you feel is in resonance, is yours. Whatever you feel is not, is not. Take what you will and leave what you choose. 

For you are the one who decides.

With love and understanding, 

Andrea and the Emissaries of Light
