If you are finding the undercurrent of news and political battles difficult, I’d like to share what I return to for help in hopes it may be helpful to you as well. You know my answer is Reiki but it’s more than that. It’s what Reiki reminds me of and there are other paths to this remembrance if you don’t practice Reiki—any spiritual or meditation practice can assist. Reiki brings my focus down to the present moment whether I’m offering it to myself or to others. With others, my intention is to put all my personal energy aside and be here now. I experience myself as the light of who I really am and feel honored to invite Reiki for the highest benefit of the person I am with—also pure light. It is in this space that all of the thinking, judgments, labels and scenes of people tearing each other down fades away. The light I know we are is of ONE light. And as I remember this in the moment, I am able to extrapolate outward to include all people. Deep down, we are so very alike. We generally all desire the same things in life. When I reach this awareness, the quarrels of politics seem temporary, transient and even small. We are in a time of great change and therefore upheaval is required. Through these trials we can better see if we choose to do so. As the old ways are dismantled, space is created and with new perspective we have opportunity to reshape what we’ve known into a higher vision. This evolution and change is progress and progress can be uncomfortable. This too shall pass. My Reiki practice brings me home to comforting simple truths. It helps me focus on tending my own garden too, so to speak. When I invest my focus on my family, home and work I find peace. It’s when I look too long at the political strife and how some people choose to mistreat others, I feel overwhelmed. The key lies in awareness of how I feel and when I tune into myself and allow that to guide me, I stay afloat and in gratitude and hope. Honestly, it has often not been easy . It’s important for us to tune into ourselves and observe what we are feeling when we engage with news or media. Listen and choose your focus with your highest good in mind. If you do not practice Reiki, please find your own pathway such as meditation practice, yoga or something else that resonates with you and allows you to remember the truth of your connectedness—our connectedness. Tend to your garden in this way and build a strong foundation through your daily practice. It will benefit you. Therefore, it will benefit us all and our harvest shall be plentiful. Namasté

Meditation has catapulted in popularity in recent years and is currently firmly embedded in our popular culture. We hear about new scientific studies regularly in the media, we may easily download meditation apps to our smartphones and perhaps we have seen local meditation classes or groups form near where we live. It seems as though meditation is now accepted as much more than a spiritual practice and, instead, is widely regarded as a health practice touted and even prescribed by doctors and medical professionals across major specialties. In fact, research and the number of scientific studies regarding meditation have dramatically increased in recent years. A search of ‘meditation’ on the website for the National Center for Biotechnology Information, better known as PubMed ( https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov ), lists 7456 articles from 1919 to the the very beginning of 2021 with over 40% in just the last 5 years alone as illustrated in the included graphic. In contrast to that recent trend, the Reiki community, has a decades-long history of both learning and practicing meditation techniques in addition to the practice of Reiki itself. One practice I teach is the Gassho Meditation which is quite similar to mindfulness meditation wherein we focus our attention and gently refocus when we become aware thinking is occurring. While this and other meditation techniques may enhance our Reiki practice, let us compare general meditation techniques and the practice of Reiki itself. Like many new Reiki practitioners, I believed I could be a better practitioner if I learned to meditate and did so regularly. I attempted to stick to a practice of regular meditation but I found it quite difficult to maintain. Over the years, I would begin with a strong and steady commitment but then I would inevitably meditate less and less often and then feeling as if I had failed, would repeat the pattern time and time again. As a result, I never felt like I was able to reap the benefits I believed meditation practice would undoubtedly yield if I could just stick with it. Luckily, one morning I finally let those feelings of inadequacy go and perhaps, if this feels familiar to you, you will be able to release them as well. That important day I attended my first mindfulness meditation group meeting. The experienced leader asked the regular attendees to introduce themselves and include what benefits they realized through their regular mindfulness meditation practice. Each took their turn revealing their personal results including examples such as feeling less stress, less worry and anxiety, enjoying better sleep, increased optimism and decreased chronic pain among other commonly documented benefits. The last woman then offered a description I found to deeply resonate with me. She explained she used to react to life as if it was occurring right at the tip of her nose. However, as a result of her regular meditation practice, she gradually moved from reaction to response because she now felt as though life was happening more at a distance from herself. This shift in awareness allowed her to observe and then decide how to best respond in words and actions. She shared how this transferred to feeling more balanced in her relationships with others, more peace within herself and as though she was a part of life’s flow and no longer just affected and by it. I immediately identified what she described as my own experience but I had never achieved meditation with any lasting regularity. How was it I had seen these same changes within me? The one practice I regularly kept was that of Reiki for myself and for others. I knew it was, at the very least, relaxing for me but I simply never considered Reiki as meditation. I left the mindfulness group wondering about the similarities between my experience and theirs. Sharma, M.D. from the Center for Integrative Medicine at The Ohio State University defines meditation as, “an exercise of consciousness that results in the expansion of consciousness beyond the day-to-day experience of duality. It is an experience of unity, which reduces stress and brings increased creativity and efficiency to the functioning of the inner faculty. This is an exercise that occurs without the mind directing the process.”1 Though Reiki practice includes a bit more than what the doctor states, undoubtedly, his definition does apply to Reiki. Practitioners do not direct the Reiki with their minds but allow the energy to direct the session. They commonly describe feelings of expansion and oneness while offering Reiki. Of course, Reiki reduces stress which is widely reported and I, along with other practitioners I have talked with, often enjoy extraordinary creative inspiration, discover solutions to problems and receive answers to questions. In addition to these benefits occurring for Reiki practitioners, those receiving Reiki treatment often report the same benefits. Passively receiving one session of Reiki may illicit equivalent results when compared to actively performing one meditation session. Another similarity between both practicing and receiving Reiki and meditation is that deeper, longer lasting shifts on physical, mental, emotional and spiritual levels come through regular sessions. Given the parallels between the practices of Reiki and meditation, perhaps it is time to expand our thinking regarding Reiki practice and recognize it as an actual form of meditation in and of itself. Then we may begin to include this aspect of Reiki in our presentations when describing Reiki to others. And because the popularity and scientific support for meditation continues to grow, so too, may Reiki’s acceptance as a valid complementary therapy resulting in becoming more widely available to help an increasing number of people.

from the July 2023 Mainstream Reiki Newsletter I began to receive messages from the Divine Animal Kingdom when I was a student of Animal Reiki that I now teach. What astounds me is the wisdom they possess and the love they have for us. I feel this comes through in their message I’m sharing here with you: "Please take time to be a nature. We commune with you when you do this. We love you. Please also know that you may rest more. Even though you are doing so well to listen and grow in your light, we ask you to remember to rest. Enjoy life, too, and give yourself time away from the push to succeed in whatever it is you are pursuing. All moments in balance lead to growth and evolution. Even when it seems as though you are standing still, you grow. We understand this may not seem likely or possible, but we assure you that your soul and spirit work tirelessly and consistently to usher in a higher vibration, higher knowing, and more love. You are amazingly resourceful and resilient and have wisdom far beyond what appears to your conscious mind and awareness. We ask you to consider our words and our wisdom to reframe yourselves and redefine who you allow yourselves to be. You are so much more than you have known. When you allow yourself to be unlimited, you become unlimited. Only you hold this power in relation to your energy and evolution. We ask you to determine if you are open to more fully expressing who you truly are, and then you may claim this in truth by intention and authority. It is by doing this that you ascend to the next threshold of ascension, whereby you step forward as a co-creator on the Earth like never before. We all move higher in the realms more easily as you each claim your power and expression in the highest of ways. Your clear expression of the light of who you are, have always been, and forever shall be, allows others and invites others to do the same. And Light multiplies. Love multiplies. Peace multiplies. Do you not see yourself as one who saves this planet and all of creation within your site and senses? If not before, please acknowledge this today, for you are present and hearing our song for many reasons, but the unification of vision, light, and love is the paramount manifestation in the revolution you are experiencing now on Earth. And you are a change agent – instrumental in this war where no force or weapons are needed, simply your love, your intention, and your knowing of who you really are. Fearless expression is what you may choose to do. Sing your song vibrationally through thought, love, focus, and attention on how you wish things to be. Your choices are wise, and we thank you for your wakefulness in these times where many are confused and lost in the denial of the light of which they are a part – in oneness, we are, and we ask you to continue to live informed daily with this truth. For all of life is within you, and you are within all of life." Perhaps it's a time to reflect not only on this message but our relationships with the animals we've known in our lives and all they have taught us through their persistent presence and unconditional love. Highest blessings, Andrea

Are you a planner like me? I had a fabulous idea for my message to you, but when I began to write, the words just did not come together. I felt like l was trying to force something, so I stopped. I took a deep breath and let go. Then I typed, “What is the message for the August newsletter readers?” And just like that, the plan changed into this message. I’ll put my idea aside and try again in September. We will say to you that the message is clear. Life goes on. No matter what you busy your mind with, no matter what the news cycle reports, your personal life is going on. The emotions you carried yesterday and the day before were still there when you woke up this morning. The lingering, unprocessed traumas and emotions are there for you. Regardless of what you distract yourself with, your personal story and state of emotion persist. We ask you to consider: when will it be time for you to address the issues that plague you? We invite you to step into the light of possibility that resolution may bring you. Peace is attainable within you to an extent you cannot imagine . If you seek more peace in your life, please come home to yourself and invest in your care and the processing of this lifetime’s events. And, yes, many of you are aware and focused on healing from past life events, which is also worthwhile. However, all events you have suffered in this lifetime have not occurred free from influence or connection to your soul's past and parallel experiences. Therefore, you are given a key to healing simply by living in this current lifetime and addressing the challenges you have faced. Nothing is hidden or out of reach if you concentrate on resolving what has occurred for you here. You are not living an isolated existence. The totality of your soul and all its wisdom is simply behind a veil while fully present and connected to you in every moment. It can be no other way. You are in wholeness. Your journey is to simply integrate all you have been, all you know yourself to be, and all you truly Are. And when these come into alignment in your awareness, your work upon this planet will conclude. It is then that your mission may be expanded, and you will choose how to serve and express the Light of who You Are. Freedom shall then be yours . Andrea: And so, practically, what can we do? 1. Seek Out Wisdom Seek out wisdom through means that bring mental consideration, reflection, and contrast so that you may see and feel more clearly who you are and who you are not. This is how you learn more about yourself, your desires, and your purpose. This means opening to perspectives that may differ from what you are used to accepting. If you find something challenging, ask yourself why and deepen your self-inquiry. From this place, your understanding grows. 2. Move Your Body Move your body in new ways. Even if you are active already, ask your body what it desires in movement. Change patterns, change routines, and let in a more fluid way of exercising the physical body so that all parts are addressed and included. Love all the parts of your body, even if you find them disgusting. Realize that rejection of a part of yourself impedes the life energy from supporting your health. This is why disease sometimes manifests in the body. Take care of your body and love it for all it does for you in miraculous ways each and every day. 3. Feed and Nurture Your Spirit Feed and nurture your spirit in nature, in quiet, in rest. Find what is peaceful for you and schedule time for this daily. There is no substitute, and nowhere may one purchase peace. Peace is cultivated like a garden full of beauty and abundance and does not grow by accident or in times of drought. For these reasons, peace is precious and a personal endeavor for which you alone are responsible. 4. Remember, You Are Not Alone Finally, remember you are not alone on this Earth and were not meant to choose aloneness. Be with people. Appreciate people. Love people. They are simply doing what they feel they must, and many are completely unaware of themselves from a higher perspective. It is not your mission to educate them, save them, or rub their noses in their ‘bad’ behavior. Those who insist on these pursuits divert their attention away from healing their personal lingering unprocessed traumas and emotions, and the cycle of suffering within persists. We wish you deepest healing and highest blessings on your journey home, found through healing yourself through love. ~~~~~~~~ I invite you to join me in the conscious creation of more peace within, Andrea

“Many of you will say what we have said cannot be true. How am I the light when I am sad? How am I the light when I am in despair? And we will tell you that you are the light, regardless of the things that you feel and the things that you decide to do. You are light like the Earth is below you. You are light like the sun in the sky, the moon, and the stars. You simply Are. It is beyond your level of comprehension. And that is not because you are not an intelligent being. It is simply that your known world and reality itself are far different. In the years to come, humanity will learn, little by little, about reality. This will happen at a speed commensurate with the collective group reflecting change within the individuals who comprise it. This change is a loosening of beliefs about who you think you are. That is why it is a little by little process, you see. There can be nothing put upon humanity that shall cause you to destroy yourselves. And so changes are incremental. Lessons are earned. For as you move through one, doors to new lessons unlock and open to you. We do not wish to mislead you when we use the word "unlock"; nothing is hidden away out of your reach. It is just that there is a sequential evolution that we are trying to convey. There are many of you that lessen the need for time-taking in this process. This is true. At the same time, however, there are many of you that are digging their heels in, not wanting to move forward. This is shifting. And the time frame that we are elaborating on does not have to remain as long-standing because all is malleable. It is dictated by the collective energy and the willingness to see more, understand more, and operate in different ways. How open are you to change? Change in your social structures? Change in your leadership and how your lands are run by those in power? Change within yourself? Change within your very heart—of how you see yourself, and also how you see others? These two are actually not different, but the same. The message is simple: change only how you view yourself. Change only how you feel about yourself.  And the result is much greater than you can imagine. Because when you love yourself, you love others.  When you accept yourself, you accept others. When you like yourself, you like others. So perhaps that is the starting point. How do you feel about yourself? We will ask you to sit with this question. In the context of informing how you feel about others in the world, start with your emotions regarding yourself. Yourself is the gateway to all things.  And this is by design. You have what you need  to set forth on this endeavor of self-discovery and manifestation. And we are here to guide the way, to cheer you on, to be a foundation, to know your worth. For we know who you are. We know how you serve, we know why you came here. We are with you.” With gratitude to you, The Emissaries of Light and Andrea #Guidance   #ChanneledMessages   #Channeling  #EmissariesofLight If you are interested in receiving a monthly channeled message (such as the above) directly to your email inbox, click below to subscribe to the Mainstream Reiki newsletter:

Hello, dear readers, and welcome to this message. We hope it finds you in a state of openness and peace. There are many changes you are undergoing in your lives.  The structure of your society is dismantling, and many of you are restless. Many of you are worried. Many of you wish to fight, but do not know how.  Many of you feel as though you see things from a higher perspective, and you are not sure how to integrate your emotions and what is happening around you. How do you react?  How can you be angry and ascending at the same time? Or attempt to reconcile any number of other emotions? Anger is perhaps one thing you are experiencing, but we will say there are many emotions, much uncertainty, and you have been living in uncertainty now for a number of years.  Many of you grow tired and weary of this process, and we will tell you, unfortunately, it is in its early days. There is nothing to fear here, and we do not speak in this way to get you riled up in fear or to keep you awake at night and unsettled.  This could not be further from our desired intention. There is a saying that you may be familiar with, and that is, when the going gets tough, the tough get going.  And we wish to amend this in these times, to help you. We wish to put forth our version for your consideration: when the going gets tough, the tough get grateful.   The reason we put it forth in this way is that gratitude is often spoken about in ways that do not reflect the power it holds as a catalyst for change. It is much greater than something you simply feel and enjoy, then walk away from.  Let us take this a bit deeper.  When things around you are changing, and there is uncertainty, it can be helpful to point out, acknowledge, and feel what you are grateful for and what is consistent in your life.  It could be family, it could be your shelter, your home, your career. It could have to do with your children, the animals in your life, or your routine that you choose to engage in each day.  There are any number of things that you might identify that you feel gratitude for. These things are mostly within your purview, meaning you decide about them.  By practicing this, you may begin to become aware of the things that you do have control over—the things that you are afforded, regardless of what is going on at your higher levels of institutions and governance.  When you focus on what you are grateful for and how that makes you feel, something interesting happens—you get clarity about what is important to you. And that translates into action .  You see what your leaders are choosing and often feel it does not align with what you are grateful for or what you feel is important in your own life.  When you see this happening, you are perhaps inspired and moved to act. Perhaps this is in protest. Perhaps this is in writing. Perhaps this is in another way.  But when the voices of many rise up and communicate what is important to them, in the face of opposition, masses shall be heard, masses shall be seen, and masses shall be addressed.  You live in a world of popularity, and because of technology, much happens that once would have been hidden from your view.  You would not have known much of what has been going on in your leadership, had this been 20 years ago, but because the times are now, the wool is no longer over your eyes. And through your technology or connections, and your ability to feel, unlike you have in the past (because of the rise of abilities within multitudes of people)—all of these factors are moving together, coming together, coalescing, and allowing you to have power that you have not had prior to this moment.  And so, do you not see that when you are in the vibration of gratitude, you are preparing yourself for action? Gratitude is a catalyst.   Focusing your attention in the ways we have explained can help you become clear about who you are, what you value, and what you voice , so that the reconstruction may commence in ways guided by higher knowing, higher vision, and alignment with what the masses feel in resonance with. Behold the power that you have, have always had, and forever shall have.  Behold the power you hold as an individual and in your heart and field—the practice of feeling grateful—which naturally fuels how you express your vibration and, therefore, how you create your world anew.

As my practice has deepened over the years, the Reiki grids I have worked with have also evolved. Each one reflected the energies of its time and the guidance I received. From the traditional  World Peace Grid  to the  Metatron’s Cube transitional grid  and now to the  Mirror Grid , each step has been an invitation to expand consciousness and embody more of our truth. The World Peace Grid For years, I used the same grid that I still teach my Reiki Master students to build, which is a grid designed for World Peace by William Rand. The grid's purpose is to send Reiki over distance to the six World Peace grids, located in different parts of the world, to assist in creating peace on the planet among all people. We also added names of people, animals, groups, goals, and anything one might think of, so that they would also receive Reiki. The Metatron’s Cube Grid Then, just before my monthly livestream on Oct 5, 2023, I was preparing to set the grid on my desk to share during the broadcast and felt it was not quite “right.” I asked what it needed and saw a wooden cutout of sacred geometry on top of the current photo of the World Peace Grid. I believe the design is called Metatron’s Cube. I got it a few years ago, but didn’t know why I wanted it or what I was ever going to use it for. The countdown to going live was almost over, so I quickly removed all the crystals from the photo that had served as my World Peace grid base. I placed the Metatron’s Cube on top of it and then wondered what came next. It felt like a good idea to put rose quartz at all the points and the center. I had the right amount to construct it, and it felt in resonance (energetic agreement) with me on all levels. I asked why this change was now appropriate for the grid. The Emissaries of Light communicated to me that while the World Peace Grid project had been a positive and wonderful endeavor, it was also created in 1997, a time much different energetically than our current times. New energies are now available to us, and we are invited to look beyond what we have made and relied upon in the past. To be clear, the energies are not new, but our ability to engage with and utilize them has evolved and continues to do so. By adding the twelve pieces of rose quartz and the sphere at the center, the grid became not only a transmitter of peace  but also a bridge between higher dimensions . It honored the healing of the Earth while activating the higher-dimensional energy we came here to embody. During livestreams, I invited people to place their names or intentions in the chat to be included in this new, upgraded grid. The Reiki flowed to everyone named and to the collective highest good of humanity. This “Metatron’s Cube” grid was a transitional version — a stepping-stone between my long-used World Peace Grid base and the version I now use, which incorporates a mirror as its foundation. This newest design reflects even more clearly the unity of above and below, Earth, humanity, and higher consciousness. The Mirror Grid When I was first guided to create the Mirror Grid, I didn’t have all of the elements figured out. The only thing I knew for certain was that it needed to be a decagon . At first, I was critical of this choice, thinking a 12-sided shape would be more in line with sacred geometry. But the guidance was clear and unmistakable: it had to be ten sides. After some searching, I found a metallic decagon from an Etsy shop in the UK. Decagons aren’t common, so it took time to find a piece that felt right, but when I did, I knew it was the one. Next came the question of the base. At first, I thought my husband could cut a thin piece of plywood, as he had done for my earlier grid, but it quickly became clear that the wood appearance was not “right” for this design. I tried to imagine ways to dress it up — paint, stain, fabric — but none resonated. Then, when he informed me that the available wood at the store was warped, it was confirmation that I needed to rethink everything. That’s when I remembered a round mirror tucked away in the basement. I had high hopes, but when I paired it with my decagon, it was too small.  I realized that the strong disappointment I felt was itself a form of guidance : the base was meant to be a mirror. I eventually found one online that was the right size, with gold trim that matched the decagon perfectly. Through reflection and asking, I came to understand the deeper meaning. The ten sides of the decagon honor the union between humanity and All That Is. Humanity has always been defined by ten fingers and ten toes, and this shared trait gave rise to the base-10 system of numbers — a framework embraced across cultures, borders, and time. Even modern technology rests on the binary code of 1 and 0 (together forming 10), reminding us that from the simplest patterns, humanity has built the world we know today. Across millennia, this shared foundation reflects the deep connection we hold as one human family. The mirror base extends this meaning. It symbolizes the endless reflection of our reality on Earth, extending upward into the universe — as above, so below. The mirror reminds us that we are always connected to the infinite, and that what we create here reverberates far beyond what we can see.  In this way, the mirror serves as a portal — a gateway of communication and healing energy that unifies the human and the divine. It reflects our lived reality on Earth while opening us to the infinite realms and our higher selves , our direct connection to All That Is, Source, God, or whatever name resonates with you. Through this exchange, there is a constant flow of energy : what we offer is magnified, and what we allow through energetic agreement transforms us. Before the Get Over It! series, I was preparing to move the grid onto my desk so it would be visible in the livestream video frame. As I did this, I noticed how each stone was completely unique — no two matched in color, shape, size, or composition. From my judgmental mind , I thought the grid didn’t look like any I had seen before and wasn’t symmetrical except for the decagon. I wondered whether I had made it correctly or “right.” But as the countdown to go live neared, I quieted myself. The answer came through immediately. The stones represent humanity — the many cultures, ethnicities, characteristics, and locations of people across the world and throughout time. The lines of the decagon separating the stones represent the borders that we think divide us.  In truth, this is an illusion, and from a larger perspective, we are held in an ordered, coherent matrix of light and intelligence. No stone is greater than another. Each is part of the whole, unique and special in its own ways — like us. No one is higher or more important in the fabric of humanity. In that moment, I understood that the grid’s construction was perfect.  I let go of any doubt, and with that realization, I clicked the button and began the livestream. The crystals and their placements may continue to change as I prepare for each livestream, if and how I am guided. For now, this is the explanation of why these stones are placed as they are.  Closing From the World Peace Grid to Metatron’s Cube and now to the Mirror Grid, each stage of this journey has been guided by the energy of the times in which we live and our human evolution. The grids continue to serve as gateways to healing, remembrance, and empowerment. Each time they shift, they invite us to shift as well — to trust guidance, to let go of what no longer serves, and to step more fully into the light of who we truly are.  I teach about creating and using Reiki Grids in my Reiki Master classes.

It is a fine day and we wish to congratulate all the readers of your newsletter that they have come so far. We can say this because the journey of these days is very far in a very short amount of time. And we say this because there is much going on in your world now concerning infighting and current events that keep you on edge.  Many people watch outlets for news and weather and become extremely agitated. We ask everyone reading this to be honest with themselves about what they are consuming in the world and why they choose to expose themselves to what they are absorbing . We are not saying it is wrong to be informed, simply that when you tune into broadcasts that have an underlying motivation to keep you watching or keep you listening, you become a commodity , and what we mean by this is that your attention and your focus makes the other entity money, thus giving them power to use as they determine. For this is the driver of many of the outlets that you are invested in.  We will say it is quite ironic as well, in some cases, because the individual watching will speak about being independent, a free thinker, and may even boast about being their own sovereign being when it comes to outside influences. We will say that in some cases, these people are the most invested in trading their focus, and therefore, their energy for unrest and dis-ease.  And so what will we have you do, you ask, and we will say, it is imperative that you are aware at all times about what you are investing your energy into and how it is making you feel. We are sorry that the call to you is to be aware and awake all the time. However, if evolution or ascension, as many of you call it, is part of what you are going through, you cannot do this while sleepwalking , so to speak, and being out of touch with discernment and intelligence. You cannot do this without the awareness of the intelligence of your body and acknowledging that where you place your attention defines your emotions and energy—and even your physicality.   This is an age of responsibility , and as you ascend, you become more responsible than ever before. For those of you who think that the evolution of humanity or your ascension is about being on a beach, sipping a cool drink, and being out to lunch while everything happens around you, we tell you this could not be further from the truth. The evolution of your species depends upon your willingness to look at everything with your eyes and your heart wide open.  And this does not mean that you take in the energy and sacrifice yourself because you are so empathetic. This means that you know you are sovereign . You can open your eyes and open your heart and see your world and how you move about it with clear vision and no illusion as to your motivations and the motivations of other people. Because when you can see this clearly, you are no longer in the game of pretending that you are fine or that anything else is fine.  Instead, you know with certainty who you are and how you can contribute in a world that seems more unstable, but is actually redefining itself in many ways. And so, what are you to do? You may ask. And we will tell you to be awake . This means that in the wee hours of the night when you awaken and there are words and ideas in your mind, please take the opportunity to ask: Is there a message here for me? And see what your reaction is.  For many of you are becoming channels like the one who has provided these words for you, and she wishes you to know that there is nothing fearful. There is nothing scary about hearing the words that come from your higher self , your divine self. We will say that many people channel other sources than this. She also has the ability to channel other frequencies of energy, a skill she has shared in the past. One example of this is messages from the Divine Animal Kingdom, as well as individuals who are currently in the body or have already passed.  You see, channeling is nothing more than tuning in to a frequency , like a phone conversation. Imagine you are a switchboard operator from the old days, able to plug in with your intention to hear different conversations and make it happen. It is quite natural, really.  We are inviting those interested to learn with us. You see, it has been our idea that Andrea teach a course to help demystify channeling and help you tune into the voice of your higher self—that part of you that is in constant light of source, but understands this about themselves and understands everything about you in this world, this lifetime, and any other lifetimes. It is this part of yourself that we will teach you to connect with and converse with to learn from reassurance, for confidence in who you are and why you are here, and even for your healing and evolution.  And we will stop here, and we will simply invite you to sit with the idea of channeling your divine self . Notice how this feels to you. If you are called, we invite you to our class, and we will meet you there. We will guide her as the teacher, and we will guide you as the students. And we will work with each student who is present, individually and as a group. You will undergo energetic transmissions of words and energy that will calibrate your energetic system to better hear, feel, and perhaps even see your divine self. So this will be a journey of listening, of healing, of expansion, and acceptance of your responsibility as a being of light currently inhabiting a human body, doing what they can to not only assist themselves in higher ways but also to help the world through the raising of their vibration and all they will learn through the experience with us. We thank you for your time and your consideration as to what your illuminated path forward is for you. We thank you, and we say goodbye until next time. In peace, Andrea and the Emissaries of Light #Guidance   #ChanneledMessages   #Channeling   #EmissariesofLight

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 #Guidance   #ChanneledMessages   #Channeling   #EmissariesofLight

Discover how your soul’s design shapes your life and why you’re already succeeding at your greater purpose more than you realize. Press play to listen to the message as you read along. We meet with you today in these words encoded with energy,  so that you may know yourself in a new way.  It is human to be more curious about and want to understand yourself from a mental point of view.  The time has come for you to understand yourself in new ways.  This is because your psyche can withstand new information that would not have been readily accepted many years ago. You are growing up, and we commend you on your progress.  The collective energy on your planet has lifted in a way, raised in vibration, allowing more to be known. It is important for you to remember that  information has not been withheld because you did not have the right to know.  But information has been withheld from your species because it is beyond what you could make use of, due to your present evolution and knowledge. As your species continues to grow and advance,  you will be privy to more information, not only about yourselves, but your planet and your world at large, meaning beyond the Earth. Regarding humanity and your time spent on the planet, many of you wish to do more in this lifetime. And we will tell you that you are doing so much already.  However, you are not aware of this because it is beyond your understanding.  We wish to remedy this today. Did you know that  you set the stage for this entire lifetime before you took this body and were birthed into this world?  Every person reading this, and every person not reading this, took these steps prior to being born. What occurred, we assure you, is a long planning process, and many decisions were made. You had help along the way, but because your time here on Earth is sovereign in your body, meaning,  you are in control of your energy, and how others affect it, the final word was yours in every case. It cannot not be so. This means that  you chose your body — eye color, hair color, gender, ethnicity, skin tone, date and time of your birth, and many other attributes and circumstances that we care to list at this time.  The point here is that, upon your decision-making,  energy was encoded. There is a distinct mechanism for this to happen, and  you could think about this as a punched card.  Years ago, thick rectangular paper cards were used to store computer data. Holes were punched in specific positions, each representing a value.  The pattern of holes was read by a computer, which could then process the information encoded on the card. This punch card is a good analogy for what happens between the time you are in spirit and the time you are in body. When you make decisions, such as your birthdate and time,  a pattern of holes, you might say, is punched in your card that corresponds to this lifetime.  All of these decisions get punched into the card. And therefore, when the  light of who you are shines through this card, the resulting light pattern is the part of your soul that now resides in this body. This means that every day that you inhabit this body and live in a world dictated by those decisions made prior to your birth,  you are succeeding.  You are living in a body with your prescription. And as a result of your prescription,  you have been afforded many circumstances, many judgments, and you move around the world in ways directly resulting from this energy, all by your own design. Certainly, you can come up with examples. And we will give you a very general one.  If you chose this lifetime to be lived in a woman’s body, you will have encountered judgments and limitations based on this circumstance.  On the other hand, if you chose to reside in a male body in this life, the same could be true. These two scenarios are different, but they have a lot in common, because  how you show up in the world, whether it be gender, skin color, or personality type, dictates much of the circumstances that you contend with.  Some are more soft and positive, while others are more harsh and negative. So, each and every day, you live your life,  you are indeed succeeding.  You are succeeding in having an embodied experience from the programming that you yourself wrote before entering into this body.  The very act of living has afforded you opportunities to perceive, decide, learn, and evolve through the lens of your making. This is the point of it all!  And so, celebrate yourself for this!  Celebrate as we celebrate with you. We will go on to acknowledge that many of you feel as though you could do more and that you are not on purpose, and we will tell you that it is for two reasons.  The first reason may be that you did not realize how you are already succeeding each day, which is why we have decided to explain it as we have done. The second reason is that  your soul knows that it can do more. It can go farther, and it is beckoning you to tune into the larger part of yourself, so that you may embody more of the light that did not come through your punch card, so to speak. You have the ability to amend the card because  you are a dynamic force with free will and great spiritual intelligence.  This update in your programming, so to speak,  is not taken on lightly or agreed to easily in the higher realms.  However, doing so will enlighten you, activate more of your gifts, and reset your path forward to higher potential. If you are pulled to do more,  seek it out when you are free from fear of not meeting your purpose.  Because if you feel fear in this manner, that tells us that  you do not yet accept the immense nature of who you are in truth.  There is no need to fear. For you are doing so much that is beyond your understanding and outside your awareness. We have only begun to tell you of these truths, so that you could begin to recognize yourself in new ways.  You are ready. Be still and know this as true. We thank you for your time, and we honor your presence here with us. May you receive the energy that is transmitted in these words,  beyond the ideas and concepts we offer. All is here for you to accept or not, as your discernment guides. In peace, love, and understanding, The Emissaries of Light with Andrea #Guidance   #ChanneledMessages   #Channeling   #EmissariesofLight

Good day to all of you who are reading these words and shall feel the energy transmitted within. We will try a different tactic in this message with you, and that is one of shifted perspective.  We will ask you now to reflect upon our prior messages. And through each one, we are calling you into the light of who you have always been, are now, and forever shall be for the upliftment and evolution of humanity.  For when you do this as an individual, you assist the collective. You cannot be unseen in this way because your vibration is always felt. You are always contributing to the vibration in your world and in levels of consciousness that you are largely unaware of. It is for this reason that we shift our perspective for you in this message, because it is imperative that you understand that you matter and that your existence in this body at this time is consequential.  You are always serving through your vibration. Are you serving the vibration by contributing a lower frequency? Or are you contributing to the collective through the emanation or broadcasting of a higher frequency?  This is determined by you and through the actions that you choose to take and those that you choose not to take. And we will ask you now to feel in your body and assess if the words and energy transmitted by us so far are resonating within you.  And now we will go further, and we will say this. We invite you to ask yourselves, “Who am I to hold myself from expressing as the light that I am? Who am I to keep this from the rest of the world in the unified momentum that carries humanity forward? Will I continue to sit on the sideline and allow others to do this work that I myself may do for the good of All That Is?” Through yourself, you serve the whole, and so you are asked to tune into how you speak to yourself. The conversations that you have within your own mind are reflective of who you allow yourself to be. The conversations reflect your emotional awareness, your spiritual knowing, or unknowing of yourself as a being of tremendous potential energy currently expressing through this particular body in this particular reality.  And if you have relinquished your ability to claim yourself as the light of who you are, we implore you to reassess, for the time is now in this world to cast aside what has held you back from knowing the truth of who you are.  It is time to claim yourself in freedom to choose how you express and how you will allow yourself to stay silent in vibration. And this simply means that you choose whether to hold yourself in limitation, not fully expressing in accordance with your higher guidance and knowing.  We have said to you before that it is not necessary to stay in your small sense of yourself , and for those of you who fear it would be arrogant to step into the light, we will remind you that you ARE the light .  And any belief you have that you are other is an illusion based on what you have agreed to in the past, put forth by others, for reasons that are outside of what is in your highest good at this moment, and so this allows you to choose again. Redefine who you are in your own mind and therefore in your energy.  For only you decide how you express in vibration. And so once again, we will close with the question, “Who are you to limit the light that you express into this world if you wish to change it and assist humanity in entering the next phase of expression in an amplified field of possibility?” If you wish to assist and progress toward your truest expression, we invite you to say these words.  "I am free in my expression of my true nature. I am a being of light expressing through form, by my choice. I am here. I embody the light of who I am in a fuller way. I am the light that I exist in in the higher realms in this body. This light empowers my body now, heals my body now, and affords me boundless gifts, as I allow them. The truth is mine to know, to feel, to be. And in this, I am.” We thank you for your time and attention and commend you on your progress as you further awaken in this life and beyond.
