MARCH 2021 Newsletter March, the month where we all hope the luck ‘o the Irish will rub off on us! Keeping our eyes peeled for the lucky leprechaun who will lead us to the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow! Dancing an Irish jig just for the sheer pleasure of it all! It is also International Color Therapy Month. As most of you know, color is a passion of mine and the two books I have written so far on color have defined my career in color. There are millions of folks on the planet who love, work with, celebrate, use, and heal with color. Millions who thrive in the magic and vibrational gifts color brings us. Millions who simply love and use color every day to enhance their lives. And so years ago, Eleyne-Mari Sharpe of Aura House began Color Therapy Month. Here is our latest conversation about Color Therapy Month:
Conversation with Eleyne-Mari D: Wow, I can’t believe March is here already! Another Color Therapy Month! Am I right that it’s also the 11th annual Color Therapy Month? E: That’s right, Diantha. I can’t believe it myself, but here we are again. And boy, do we need color. As for me, I just want to wrap myself in the softest, fluffiest color and cocoon until I awake into a gorgeous butterfly. D: A sparkly one, no doubt! I suppose this year’s CTM schedule is different because of Covid. E: Yes, because all of the events are virtual. You just have to have a good telephone or computer connection. D: Thinking back to the beginning of Color Therapy Month, you had a reason why you planned it for March. E: Absolutely. Eleven years ago, I wanted to choose a month that was not already overpopulated with holidays. Many of us in the U.S. think of March as the time to celebrate St. Paddy’s Day, leprechauns, and rainbows. And it was because of that rainbow association that I thought March would be the ideal month. D: Any event previews for my readers? E: Only for you, Diantha! Well, on March 1 there will be the traditional Color Pep Rally. Aura House will also be hosting “Love and Light” color attunements every Tuesday—or HUESday, as I like to call it. There’s a “Colors of the Sea” grief workshop scheduled for March 28 and a “Thank Hue Color Healing Circle” on March 31. The Color Therapy Month calendar also offers color card readings, meditations, art classes, “Rainbow Crystal Journaling,” and color-related lectures. And if you need your color fix 24/7, there’s over 200 videos on The Color Channel on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/user/TheColorChannel. D: And how do people find the calendar? E: Just go to our website at www.colortherapymonth.com and click the “Calendar” tab. And while you’re there, be sure to sign up for the free “Color the World” guide. D: So there is something colorful to do each and every day in March. It sounds like you have all the color bases covered! E: I think so, and I’m hoping to see a Life Potentials event on the calendar, too, because the world needs more of your color wisdom, Diantha. D: I’m working on that! Any last comments? E: Be safe, be healthy, think positive thoughts. And no matter how crazy this old world gets—don’t forget to stop and enjoy the pretty colors!
COLOR! “In ancient times, people understood that treasures from the earth, the sky and the sea were used to make everything from weapons to medicine. They understood that they had properties that could heal humans or enhance the way we feel.” Luann Cibik, p. 114, Simply Color for Everyday Living (for your copy click here)
AKASHIC RECORD OFFERING from READINGS WITH SPIRIT I met Diantha in an Akashic Records class in the late 1990’s. Since then, Diantha and I bonded over the Records and have exchanged readings every few weeks over the past 20+ years. To say we both love the Records is an understatement! For those of you who might be unfamiliar with them, the Akashic Records are the vibrational records of your soul and are accessed via a prayer. The Records provide an expansive space of love and truth where loving guidance and clarity about issues is revealed. An Akashic Records reading is a spiritual reading and it does not predict the future. Instead, it offers information to assist and support you in your life’s journey. I have recently created an Etsy shop featuring my readings, www.Etsy.com/shop/ReadingswithSpirit. In my shop, I offer digital mp3 mini-readings based on your submitted questions as well as longer digital or one-on-one phone readings. As a member of Diantha’s newsletter, I am offering you a 15% off coupon (use the code LIFEPNET15 on the order page). We are living in troubled times, with many of our lives disrupted. The beautiful and loving energy of the Records can be a touchstone and anchor, offering hope and clarity when it is sorely needed. Please visit my shop and let me know if you have any questions. I would be honored to do a reading for you. Thank you!

“There are many factors that contribute to making the Hawaiian Islands a powerful healing place, and I believe color is very much one of them. You cannot be surrounded by lush greens, vibrant red, pinks, purples and yellow of tropical, fragrant flowers and swim in various shades of ocean blues without feeling uplifted in every layer of your being.” Monica Schwartz, p. 142, Simply Color for Everyday Living
This is the Table of Contents for Simply Color for Everyday Living, the latest book in the Simiply Color series. It was written by 25 professionals plus myself and covers all these ways to use color. Dr. Quaranto describes it as a “combination of self developement, feng shui,” and “tons of ideas.” The book is a great gift item, as well as a wonderful book for your own library and reference http://www.lifepotentials.net/media/books Happy March. Hope you find your rainbow! Until next month….. Namaste….xo
All that was hidden is now being revealed. Blessed are those who let their light shine brightly, who did not hold back from learning the Truth, who believed and had faith. Blessed also are those who still doubt, who follow the dark forces, who disbelieve what is now being revealed for their eyes and minds and hearts and souls have been taken over by the Evil Forces that have sought to destroy all that is good on the planet.
This is a worldwide awakening, with millions opening their eyes, finally seeing the Light all around them and within them. It is a glorious awakening ordained by the Universal Light of All. Even those who are keeping themselves hidden will not escape the reach of the Light this time. The Light has won.
This does not mean that there will be no more struggle for indeed, even in its death throes the darkness fights to control the minds of those who sleep on. There will continue to be conflict but the majority have awoken, and have joined together to shine the Light everywhere.
We thank you for your participation in this, even if you did nothing more than pray, for prayer is very powerful. Words are very powerful. Thoughts are very powerful. Actions are very powerful. Not everyone is called to action, so even if you were silent but prayed or even intended for things to get better, you participated! Never forget your role in this awakening process. It is why you called yourself into existence at this time.
The resisters will wake up or they won’t. Each person has his/her own path and some also serve who resist. They also play a role. They help the awakened beings solidify their thoughts and intentions. So the resisters, those who remain sleeping, must not be vilified they way they vilify and silence the awakened ones. This is how we must treat them: with gentleness, with love, with consistent gentle urging until they are able to open their eyes. We must not judge them. Each person has his/her own timetable of when the eyes open. To force it will not work. To humiliate them will not work. To judge them will not work. That is much like trying to force a bud open before its time: you will kill the growth and essence of the plant (person) in that forceful process.
Patience, kindness, gentleness and a good sense of humor is needed.
We send blessings and joy to each of you today. May you each feel the presence of the Divine in your lives today and all days.
So be it and so it is.
Message from Diantha: my guides have told me that the messages may or may not continue depending on what happens from here on out. They feel they have guided us through the worst of the darkness and now the time has come for each of us to follow our own path. If we don’t hear from them again, I would like to thank all the Guides for being with us and sharing their wisdom and guidance. If we do hear from them again, I will definitely send the message out.
In the meantime, should you need or desire to connect with them, we can always reach them through the Akashic Record Readings. And you can always access them through your own meditations.
Happy Month of Love (and chocolate and flowers!) This is a great time of year to celebrate the warmth of an open heart, and the joys of flowers and chocolate! There was a time in my life when I made all of my cards for all Holidays and Birthdays but those days are long over. Now I admit to relaxing into ecards and not too many of them either! What has happened to that young woman who was so excited about Holidays and creating special cards for everyone on her list?!!!!
Well, time has a way of molding us and shaping us as we move through it. I look back on who I used to be and wonder who was that young woman? I have all sorts of emotions about her: I am proud of her, I am mystified by her, I shake my head over some of her not so wise decisions, I applaud her audacity to live outside the box at times, and I feel sorry for some of her missteps. I wonder how much of her is still with me, and how much of her I left behind. I see sparks of her and other parts seem so foreign to me.
Perhaps it is my crone stage of life where, as my Mother used to say, all my future is behind me. I don’t quite believe it is that grim, but I HAVE reached a point where most of my years ARE behind me. I rarely think of life like that but in this moment of reaching back in the past to revisit who I used to be I am stunned by how many years through which I have to weave my way backwards!
There are a few fun facts that I bet even my children don’t know about that younger me:
I was the first person on campus to wear knee high boots at a time when everyone was still wearing ankle boots. It wasn’t long before people began to copy me, not because it was cool but because where I went to college the winters were fierce, the snow deep, and the winds unyielding. I was also the first woman to take Naval Orientation and came out with the highest grade in the class. Now to be honest, I was not in the ROTC program and was a senior about to get married to her Navy Officer fiance. The rest of the class were freshmen men and they had better things to do than sit home and study on a Saturday night while my Navy officer was off on his ship. Honestly, if I hadn’t come out with the highest grade it would have been embarrassing!
I was runner up for Freshman Carnival Princess, my highest claim to fame ever in the “beauty” game. I could claim the race was fixed but alas, the woman who won really deserved it!
So that is my early on experience in adulthood. A few outside the box experiences wedged in with one very mainstream experience. And so life has gone on like that. I am often floating in that mainstream but so often find myself swimming upstream in a current all its own. Wondering what on earth I am doing in that odd stream, doing things others never think of!
Imagine how my family reacted to me studying feng shui, color therapy, Akashic Readings when no one else they knew of was doing so. None of those things was ever spoken of at the time I delved into them, from the mid 1980’s on. People thought I had lost it. One of my family members even suggested to my husband that I be put on some sort of drug to turn me into a calm and well behaved woman!
It’s been hard to break through into a place where people trust you and don’t treat you like a pariah for being “different”. Most of my friends are used to this by now and my family certainly is, thank goodness. But it’s not easy living outside the box. I know there are some of you readers who are experiencing this exact same challenge so for you I say keep going! Your life will be a challenge but living a unique life will fill your soul. For those of you who live a more main stream safe existence I say, do what makes you feel like you. Don’t try to step outside the box if that is not who you are. We are not all meant to do life that way. And to those of you who like me step in and out of said box, I say, enjoy the variety!
The purpose of life is to enjoy the journey. And for me I also have to feel I have contributed something, have given back. Not all of us do, by the way, and that is just fine. You don’t have to in order to make an impact or live a good life. So in this month that celebrates love, I celebrate all the selves I have been, and all the selves you have been. The journey is challenging and often so dark we can’t see where it is leading. So it is indeed a good thing to stop during the month of February and celebrate the fact we have come so far and experienced so much and have learned and cried and laughed and feared and braved and experienced so much of life. And still we love. We dare to love ourselves. ALL of the versions of self. ALL the years of self. Give your self flowers or chocolate or a nice dinner or whatever makes you smile.
And celebrate Valentines as a celebration of you and ALL versions of you!
“Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.” – Dr. Seuss “Wooden Hearts”
Guest post: This month I want to introduce Julie to you. I met Julie a year ago when I embarked on a new (for me) course of study, Emotional Freedom Technique. Julie was my “buddy” and we practiced together weekly as well as with others. Julie is, in a word, extraordinary. She is a natural at EFT and her work is transformative. Briefly, EFT can help you shift your thoughts and feelings about things and change your life in a way you might never expect. For example, I originally started this program to help with weight loss but what I got was so much more encompassing than that and went ever so much more deeply that I am basically much different than I was a year ago. I attribute this shift to Julie’s expertise with EFT. And of course to my own willingness to take on the tough stuff and overcome it once and for all. Please welcome Julie to our newsletter and listen to her wisdom.
EMOTIONAL FREEDOM TECHNIQUE “In every culture and in every medical tradition before ours, healing was accomplished by moving energy.” – Albert Szent-Gyorgyi, Biochemist and Nobel Prize Winner.
Hi, I’m Julie, and I’m an emotional freedom technique coach. I specialize in using emotional freedom technique, or EFT, to help people heal their relationship with food. EFT is also known as “tapping,” and it is practiced by tapping with your fingertips on specific acupoints along the meridians in your body, which function like an energetic distribution network.
These meridians transport energy throughout the body and are the channels through which that energy flows. Emotional trauma can cause stagnation in our energy pathways, and our overall existence is affected by this energy flow. My goal as an EFT coach is to help you identify and overcome the places you are blocked by framing past traumas in the context of self-acceptance. Combining acupoint stimulation with elements of cognitive restructuring, exposure techniques, and neuro-linguistic programming is what makes EFT effective.
Many of us have buried our past traumas, unmet needs, and suppressed emotions under a painful struggle with weight loss and emotional eating. Unprocessed events from the past that have left you feeling devalued and dismissed can cause pervasive feelings of worthlessness and rage.When we use our relationship with food as the doorway to access these past emotional traumas and heal them with EFT, self-sabotage and unhealthy eating patterns can finally fall away. Instead of using willpower to stop eating beyond fullness, you’ll be able to intuitively feel satisfied with less food. Foods you used to crave and feel compelled to eat will no longer have the same power over you once the emotional charge is gone. Because your experience with tapping is subjective, you’ll be able to feel for yourself if it’s working for you, and EFT is a self-help method that you can practice on yourself anytime.
“The most terrifying thing is accepting oneself completely.” Carl Jung
The colors of love could be any of these depending on how you use them. I recommend pink for unifying group energies and to create an atmosphere of unconditional love in a space. Red for passionate love. Green for infusing heart energy into an environment, and purple for a more spiritual type of love. Magenta is love of beauty and can be used to infuse “love from above”. http://www.lifepotentials.net/shop/
“As I began to love myself I freed myself of anything that is no good for my health – food, people, things, situations, and everything that drew me down and away from myself. At first I called this attitude a healthy egoism. Today I know it is “LOVE OF ONESELF”. Charlie Chaplin

Happy Valentine’s Day. Until next month….. Namaste….xo
Although there appears to be nothing but chaos and bad news in the world we wanted to drop in today to assure you that this is merely illusion. Some of you are awake enough to see the Truth but many are still clouded by their disbelief or by their still slumbering consciousness. It is all in order and we are not here to judge any of you in any way. You are all where you are in life and it is all good. You are exactly where you need to be so do not worry!
We wanted to tell you today that so many good things are happening around you even if you cannot see them. Sometimes the veil is so dense that you cannot see. This is where we come in to help, to encourage and to reassure.
There are so many people awakening and each person brings in more Light. Each new gift of life brings in more of the Consciousness of the New World that is birthing itself. In other words, the Consciousness of the Light is expanding exponentially every day! This is a glorious Truth!
We are aware that there is still division among you but you will soon become aware of the enormity of the changes happening. The divisions that have occurred are beginning to dissipate and healing energy is moving through and among you. You will soon unite once again honoring your differences but realizing you are all part of the whole make up of humanity, parts of a whole, working together to expand the whole, not tear it to shreds. You have been misled by the Forces of Illusion for decades, blinded by mistruths in the name of “progress” and “humanity”. The container was broken, you descended into chaos, and now the Light has repaired that container and is bringing you all back to it so you can prosper and experience peace, joy, security, and the Oneness of us all.
The message we wish to share with you today is do not give up hope. It is not over. The battle continues, but God will win as long as you are with the forces of Light for the Good of All.
Remember that you are powerful Beings for the Light. Keep shining. Do not withdraw your efforts for you are not going to fail in this. Keep the Faith. Keep Shining. And never forget who you are, where you have come from, and where you are headed.
Many of you are feeling the effects of the changes happening behind the scenes and even though you are not privy to the facts, you know at some level that things are changing. We want to assure you through your doubts and fears that the Light is getting stronger and stronger thanks to the courage and dedication of people like yourself who are valiantly spreading the Light. God’s blessings to all of you who are standing in your Truth and who are using the tools of prayer, song, music, heart energy, kindness and compassion to send love and light through the Universe to other beings and to the planet.
There will soon be glimpses of Hope, perhaps even wide glorious rivers of Hope to those who can see them, and your patience and dedication will be well rewarded. Meanwhile take one minute at a time and keep your Faith which leads you forward into holding more and more Light. You were born for this moment in time and we need your heart energy to continue to fuel the Light in its battle against all the nefarious forces seeking to unseat the Light and force you all to tumble into darkness. This will not happen! The Forces of Light are not going to let this happen! Because this time, too many of you are AWAKE and doing your jobs of holding and shining Light. We thank you for your dedication, courage and willingness to Serve.
Keep breathing deeply. Keep focusing on goodness and peace. Keep shining your beautiful Light and meanwhile, the Forces of Light are fighting on for you. Soon you will see a shift. Soon.
The battle is fierce and there is much deception added into the mix which is causing everyone involved problems from loosing faith, to loosing balance to loosing hope and beyond. Because the conflict is at its peak, we do not have a long time to spend with you today but we know you are needing an infusion of good news.
First of all, please remember that the Light will always win in the end. If the Light has not yet won, it is not the end.
Second, we still need your bright lights to shine so please spend the extra effort and time now to do so. Shine as brightly as you can. This requires you to focus on what is good, what is honest, what is true, and what is fully in integrity. As you do this, you lift up the vibration of the planet and help the Light to continue to overshadow and diminish the power of the Darkness and the Evil that has permeated your world.
Third, when word is released about what the Dark Forces have been up to we need to you to keep calm and keep centered. We need your support and prayers but we do not need more violence or judgement.
Fourth, we want you to know that we are all sending you peaceful waves of energy to help calm and quiet you. We also know that it is sometimes not enough, so we ask you to spend time each day doing some deep breathing. Focus on it by counting to any number as you inhale. Hold the breath for 3 seconds, then exhale to the same number as you inhaled to. Example: breathe in for 6, hold for 3, exhale for 6. You may choose any number you wish, what is important is that you focus on this activity for at least a few minutes each day. It will help lower your breathing rate, center you, ground you, calm you and lower your blood pressure. Please do not forget to do this at least once each day but we recommend you do it every time you feel yourself getting pulled into the emotionality of each day.
Fifth, try not to judge. The Dark Forces have been using the Tool of Separation for years to destabilize and upset you all. They have divided you by gender, by age groups, by political and religious affiliations, by ethnicity, by economic situations, by nationality and any other way they can. Why? To make you seem separate from others, when you are actually all a spark of the Divine. You all belong to the same mass of energy, and you all are in the same family. You are all from the same Source. So treat each person as you would want to be treated. Listen with respect, treat with respect, show kindness to all. Even to those with whom you do not agree.
Dear Ones, we are doing our best to hasten the conquering of the Dark Forces. We still need your good thoughts and deeds and your willingness to shine your Light brightly. You do this best by living a life of kindness and integrity and not permitting evil to be done.
We cannot yet comment on the length of this battle. Be assured, the Light is fighting valiantly on your behalf. You can help best by being a vision of Light yourself, and by living your life with the highest vibration you can hold. We ask for prayers, and your intentions for our ultimate victory.
Thank you from the regions of Heaven and the Stars for your dedication to having Peace and Goodness and Joy returned to the planet. Blessings to all……
It is a yearly tradition for many to review the past year, and plan ahead for the upcoming year by creating a vision board or by journaling about goals, visions, plans, thoughts for the New Year. The idea behind these practices is that we start off the new year with purpose, focus and goals.
But what we mostly forget is that it is the PROCESS, not the GOAL, that is ultimately important, for by pursuing our goals and trying first this, then that, we learn and we grow. We learn what works and what doesn’t. What serves us and what is a waste of our time and efforts. We learn what builds us up and what tears us down. We learn where our strengths and skills lie. We learn what we love to do, and what fulfills us. And we learn how to change direction, change our focus, reallocate our time towards things that really serve us.
In determining which path to take, which goals to set, it is wise to keep in mind where your skills and passions lie. A life lived doing something you are good at but does not include your passion, is not fulfilling. Andre Agassi, one of the world’s most successful tennis players, did not really like to play tennis. He did it, to please his father, but at a certain point in his life he left tennis to do what he really wanted to do: a life of service. He and his Foundation established and run a college preparatory school for at risk students, a far cry from a life playing tennis. But he is now fulfilling his mission in life and happier for it.
So this year when you are creating the year ahead in your mind, remember to follow your passion/mission in life, allow for mistakes, for slip ups, for making a few steps back before moving forward again and give yourself permission to alter your course if you find you are on the wrong path. Generally speaking the pathway to our goals is not straight and easy. It can curve back in on itself sometimes, or even become so filled with weeds we can’t see our way. When that happens, take time to breathe and refocus. Remember the old adage “it’s not a sprint but a marathon”. Give yourself time for reflection and even relaxation in pursuit of your goals for the year. Be gentle with yourself as well as a wise taskmaster. Try not to loose your enthusiasm or even the vision of what you see today as your goal for the year ahead. Don’t be afraid to readjust your goal as time moves forward so be flexible. And remember, if at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. Trite but true!

December 2020 Newsletter As 2020 draws to its end, we have much to be thankful for. We are trying to focus on those aspects rather than what has been lost. In the end, I think we will all have much gratitude for what 2020 has brought to us. We’ll have to wait and see on that, but I’m one who believes that this is all going to be worth all the pain and inconvenience. Remember when Bing Crosby sang that song about falling asleep counting your blessings? It’s a good thing to think about during these uncertain times, focusing on what is good and right and real in our lives during uncertain and strange times. During WWII, Harry Emerson Fosdick, who founded the nondenominational Riverside Church in New York City, is quoted as saying that although “this is a ghastly time to be alive”, it was also a “great time to be alive” as it was a time calling for “wisdom and courage to face and create momentous change.” He added that it is challenging times like this that cause us to separate out what matters in our lives from what doesn’t. Robert Emmons of the University of California, Davis, ensures us that “not only will a grateful attitude help….it is essential.” He goes on to add that “It is precisely under crisis conditions when we have the most to gain by a grateful perspective on life. In the face of demoralization, gratitude has the power to energize. In the face of brokenness, gratitude has the power to heal. In the face of despair, gratitude has the power to bring hope.” Finally, Dr. Brooks of Harvard University advises that we do know this day that we are alive and well and we must “refuse to waste the gift of this day.” “There are those that give with joy, and that joy is their reward. “

Time once more to think of gift giving in all its forms. This year small businesses have been extremely hard hit while the big box stores continue to grow in size and influence. I’m hoping that most of you consider purchasing gifts from local small businesses because if we don’t patronize them, they will disappear. If they disappear we won’t have a choice on where to purchase and prices could eventually sky rocket without competition. Plus all those local neighbors who used to own a local business will be without work. Etc. etc. Etc. You can see where this is going…… SO, please consider the local business when shopping this year. You might pay a little more but in the long run it will cost you far less. AND you will help make the Christmas season much brighter for your local store owner. Merry Christmas. May each day of the New Year bring you a reason to smile. God bless……. Namaste….xo
We were hoping to find you in better spirits but see that several of you are struggling. Please know this is all ok. We are not passing judgement, only noticing that some of you are feeling so out of place or upside down in this crazy world. Nothing seems to make sense to you. We definitely see why you are feeling thus.
We are here today to tell you that in spite of what you see or think you see, all is in hand. The plan of the Light is unfolding as it is meant to. Remember that the Forces of the Dark do not have your best interests at heart and do not look out for you. That force is busy with nefarious actions and is trying to undermine all that is of the Light. There is a war going on which is what you are feeling and what is making things feel so unstable and so uncomfortable. When you are empathic you feel it even more. So many of you are being bombarded with these energies.
There is not much we can reveal at this juncture but we want to remind you to keep holding onto the Light and let your light shine as brightly as you can, as bright as that Christmas Star eons ago. That star once guided wise men to their destination which was the explosion of Light on Earth. Be that Light! Shine that bright! By so doing you can help guide the wise men of today to their destination which is to empower the Light on Earth to win this war. You needn’t do anything other than just be the Light. Hold it and let it shine so the darkness does not cover the earth any longer.
We assure you that you are fulfilling a great destiny by doing this. Often people feel as if they are not DOING enough. But by BEING the light that you are, THAT is enough. It is all that is being asked of you at this moment.
We remind you to continue to breathe, to focus your thoughts on holding the light with a deep calmness. Stay away from newscasts and media. They will weaken your Light. Strengthen your Light with prayer, with meditation, with kindness, with good intentions manifested, and with your stalwart belief that all will be well in the end. And as the saying goes, if things are not well, it is not the end yet!
We are joking with you which reminds us to tell you to laugh. Laughing is good for you and for the energies around you. It is good for the Light. So laugh away. Enjoy Life. It is meant to be savored and enjoyed.
We remain among you so talk to us if you wish. We will answer you if you listen. All is well. And you are loved. Breathe. Laugh. Love. Enjoy. And shine your Light……
We come to you today with two thoughts we wish to share with you. They both can be put under the category of self responsibility but it does not matter what category you put them in.
First, is the level of hatred and vitriol in the world. We do not endorse this for anyone no matter how good their motives might be. Your current President is a lightening rod for much of this. He often speaks in ways that trigger people’s emotions and sparks reactions in people. And when people react, (he does this often just for the reaction and to take the attention from one thing to another), they are acting no better than the President. They fall into a trap of behaving poorly themselves and become even more culpable than he is. Do you see what happens? “A” says something that sparks a reaction in “B” and “B” responds in a negative way by judging and criticizing what “A” has said (or done). This raises the ante as “B” escalates the situation with derision, hatred, judgement and shrill tones.
We do not mean that you shouldn’t react to something that offends your sense of civility but do not fall into the trap of being uncivil yourself. That takes away or negates your efforts to make things different or to change things. You see, by reacting out of anger, hate, judgement, or fear, you make things worse. Rather respond in a calm manner, stating the facts (not the emotionality) and creating another response. Something such as saying, the way you talk about people is not civil and we could hear you better if you didn’t speak such language. This is far better than shouting back, criticizing, hurling your own epithets.
Do you understand? You see nothing can change if you respond in kind to people who offend you. Turning it around and offending them serves no purpose. To effect change you must rise above it all and come from a place of love, compassion, kindness and non-judgement.
You must change the energy in order to change the world.
You cannot create something new from the old energy. Many who have preceeded you have spoken of this: “Change your thoughts and you change your world” was said by Norman Vincent Peale. “The world can only change from within.”, Eckhart Tolle. “In a gentle way, you can shake the world.” Mahatma Gandhi.
You see, they and others have understood what it takes to change the world. You do not do it from the energy of hate, frustration, judgement, or anger.
You must change your attitude in order to create a shift in the consciousness of the world. This is your challenge and what is being asked of you during these times. Love is the answer to almost all of your questions.
Secondly, is the issue of control. You are currently experiencing what it is like to be very controlled. The question is, how to respond.
When people are afraid, they often respond by trying to control. There are several things happening on your planet right now that are causing people to respond to threats of all kinds from fear. There is so much that people are feeling they cannot control so they try harder. From shutdowns, to angry responses to withdrawing, to anxious responses and quick backbiting comments to other inappropriate responses, humans are getting more and more hyper in their ways of responding to outside control.
We call this situation a fear frenzy on your planet. Yes, there is a virus world wide. From our vantage point we see there has been an overreaction to it but that has been driven from a place of fear in order to control others. There is a group of beings who seek power through manipulation of the public through fear. They are experts at this as fear is easy to incite and an excellent way to manipulate in order to get what one wants.
If you do not mind having your life controlled, then this message is not for you. But if you prefer freedom, and a life lived from strength and Truth, then read on.
It is time for you to release your fear on all levels for this is what is keeping you imprisoned, caged, locked up and locked out of living. It is your fear that is locking you down. To release your fear is to free you from the dictates of others. We are not suggesting mass insurrection, no. We are suggesting that you approach life with Trust in the Divine who supports the values of The Light. When enough of you come to your senses and reclaim your center, things will then shift. When you stop believing in fear based “facts” and “stories”, you will reclaim your power.
The Master Buddha once said, “Fear does not prevent death. It prevents life.” Fear is an emotion and like all emotions it is neither good nor bad. Emotions are gifts to humanity to inform, to guide, to teach but when a human holds onto an emotion for too long, the emotion becomes toxic and hurtful to the one who is holding on to it.
Our suggestion is for each human to evaluate which emotion is no longer serving him/her and to release it. Easier said than done, we realize this. There are many ways in which to deal with toxic emotions and beyond the scope of this message. It is up to each individual to find her/his own way to release a toxic emotion, in this case we are talking specifically about fear for we see fear distorting reality and imprisoning humans in a cage of their own making.
Beloveds, we speak to you from a place of love. We might appear at times to be harsh. We are here to assist you in the unfoldment of your own consciousness and ultimately that of the planet itself. We give you information, and suggestions, that we believe will help you in this task. As always, take what resonates for you and use it. And leave the rest. If something does not ring true for you, then it is not part of your Truth. That is your reality. And all is well. But if these messages speak to you at any level, we send them to you with our love in hopes they will assist you in uplifting both your spirit and your soul.
Blessings to you always. May the Light fill, surround and protect you. We send our love.

Self Love 
“Wooden Hearts” 
The colors of love could be any of these depending on how you use them. I recommend pink for unifying group energies and to create an atmosphere of unconditional love in a space. Red for passionate love. Green for infusing heart energy into an environment, and purple for a more spiritual type of love. Magenta is love of beauty and can be used to infuse “love from above”.
