July 2012 Energy Forecast by Lee Harris

This is the latest energy forecast from Lee Harris, and I've highlighted a couple of sections in the text which I wanted to briefly comment on at the end of this blog post.  I've posted both the video and the forecast as the comments he makes at the end of the forecast are not in the text. 

JULY 2012 ENERGY FORECAST

I abandoned the first draft of this forecast as it felt repetitive to so many other months this year. It was almost fully written and yet did not feel quite right. In some ways the repetition was a truth, as the symptoms I have mentioned throughout 2012 are still showing up for many. So you may want to go back through the first six forecasts of the year to harvest some of the seeds there, as some of you will now be experiencing aspects I mentioned in recent months.

Shifting To Action In Our Spiral Of Evolution

The second half of 2012 has begun, and the time of action is now upon us more than ever. We will see this playing out everywhere. The coming six months will see more external and practical movement than the first. We will each play our part in the action, and the way our bodies feel about what is happening will guide us to our place. We will all have moments where we are tired and trying to catch up with what is going on, as it is intense on the body. So honour your needs as much as you give out to others, especially if you recognise yourself as a giver or a lighthouse for the troubles or needs of others. Women and those strong in the feminine/nurturing especially, take heed of this. Need is on the rise, therefore so too must self-care become stronger.

Invite yourself, where possible, to turn your feelings into action in July.

How do you want to live your life now?

What do you want to change in the coming weeks and months?

How do you want our planet and its life to look in the future?

This is a time of so many questions. And that is not an easy process to go through.

We are being asked to step out of what we have known as a way of life for decades and to look a little closer at what is going on. To peek behind the curtain, however scary it may be. It can be disorientating to notice change happening. Even if we think the structure of life still looks the way it used to, it doesn't feel the same way. And the strong sense of fast change is in the air in July, more so than in any month this year.

We are being called to ask questions about our future ways. Questions about planetary resources. Questions about banking systems and our governments. Questions we have perhaps never previously asked, with answers that don't seem clear. More people are beginning to wonder about how we are doing as a race on a planet at a unique point in time. More people are looking outside the four walls of their home and at the bigger picture unfolding. A picture that has unique circumstances which our more recent predecessors did not have to go through.

We are now asking questions that previously, a government, or a parent, or a company we work for took care of for us. This is a collective change.

What does this change create in us? It creates ongoing ripples and waves in the energy and physical body. The energy body holding the feeling, thought and spirit of you. The physical body holding the grounded and historic part of you.

Some of the experiences brought on by these waves are; confusion, fear, liberation, grief, claustrophobia, excitement, anger, awakening, sadness, enlightenment.

This is a universal energy experience, however you might be going through it. Some will go through it via the catalyst of cancer, some through the catalyst of losing their job and others just through their sensory experience of what is taking place in the world.

Several routes, same destination.

Most of you reading this will not relate to every reaction I just listed. But all of you will relate to at least one of the experiences. For that spectrum of experience is currently 'us'. We are each a unique part of the human tapestry, but contained within a range of reactions and feelings. Contained because we share in (and pick up on) the group reactions we are surrounded by. And these are intensely feeling times, so if you aren't directly in crisis yourself, you will have an increasing number of crises around you in those you know.

Life on Earth in general is exhibiting crisis, and we humans are mirroring the state of our planet. When in crisis, things can look very bleak and feel very painful. But as those of you who have been through great crises in your life before know, if you are lucky enough to have come out stronger on the other side, you understand the possibilities of renewal and rebirth that crisis points bring.

So, we can allow this reality to be depressing or inspiring. And there is no prescription for how our situation should make you feel. The best we can do is be honest with ourselves about where we are at, and work with that place within us as honestly as we can.

I have heard stories from those imprisoned in concentration camps during the second world war, as to how different the reactions of prisoners were. There were those prisoners who withdrew into devastation and those who kept the spirit of the group alive. And that these energies could move and shift through the group, as time went on. So, the devastated would refind their will to live, and the spirited would become devastated for a while. This reminds us that the human spirit is ever moving and resilient, even in the most challenging of circumstances. And that humans can inspire other humans.

We have an opportunity now to inspire and affect positive change, but to effectively do this, we must equally honour and become aware of what is going on inside of us. So if we are depressed or in grief, then that is the feeling we must honour and learn to work with, or seek support for, until we reset ourselves.

Not everyone will feel depressed, just as not everyone will feel excited. But the excited people will have the strength inside themselves to see the potentials, and powered by their strength, will lead the way toward creating it. And when or if their strength disappears or dims for a time, the baton of strength can be picked up by someone else in our human tapestry. Someone who the previously strong people perhaps helped to get back onto their feet when they were down. This is the 'wheel effect' of human energy in motion. The sharing planet, sharing the leadership, sharing the strength, supporting those more in need.

The depressed people will go through their grieving process and return to their strength if they can find the right direction and support. Their direct experience of grief will then help them in nurturing and guiding others in depression. Nothing is wasted as we can use our empathy to help us find our action. For example, if you feel sad about the struggles of the elderly in life, this is a sign of direction for you, and you may wish to lend your time to helping the elderly in your community. Many sensitive people feel sad right now because of what they are picking up on in the outer world. Often engaging in helping in the areas you feel most touched by, is the remedy for this. The body and its feelings can be a great compass for you in that sense.

I am conscious that many in the spiritual community want solely to focus on the 'heights' we can attain, but in my view and experience, the greater heights are only reached by being uncensored in ourselves about the low points you may experience or witness. The difficult feelings, or thoughts which come up. The difficult experiences which play out around you.

Life is a spiral path for all of us. We are constantly invited to evolve upwards in life, but we move up and down within that spiral of evolution. With the down moments, we are invited to take the time to stabilise our new heights reached. This is why we are often returned to replays of the past to see how we are doing with moving on. So for example, you may see old relationship dynamics you used to experience playing out with a new friend, albeit this time at subtler levels than before. If you notice this, recognise there are two opportunities. One; to show you how you have moved on from a dynamic you used to be caught in. Two; to give you an opportunity to change the dynamic this time, or to simply recognise you can walk away from it if the person is exhibiting behaviour that you've identified does not work well with your chemistry.

One of the low points we can get into as human beings, is in not trusting that we each have our role to play – losing our sense of purpose, which is strong for many right now. It can be a great gift to feel purposeless for a while, unless you are angry at yourself for that experience – then it can be a painful experience. Low self-esteem can get in the way of you living your purpose, but perhaps more destructive to human growth, is the judgement of others.

I sometimes meet those on the spiritual path who believe that the revolution on Earth has to be a 'certain' way. That a certain tradition or practise which they follow is superior to all else. If any of you are holding that energy, now is the time to closely look at it and ask yourself why you feel so convinced of what the rest of the world needs? How could you possibly know what will work for everyone else? The greatest knowing you will ever be able to master is the knowing you will come to inside yourself. Whether you call that knowing God, or your higher self, or just knowing you.

So honour and love your own practise but deeply commit to it for yourself, without distracting yourself by needing others to join you in it. Remember, several routes, same destination. So whenever you catch that need for others to do it 'your way', recognise how your energy is externalising onto others. Projecting your belief outward, rather than deepening inward with your belief, thus losing your own energy.

The seed of war that exists in us as humans runs deep and that is what this energy of projection speaks of. The effects of war energy are what we are dealing with in the world on a major level now, and it is becoming more exposed every day. So do not be surprised if those around you begin exhibiting this energy in subtle and bigger ways.

The seed of war is: wanting/needing power over others and their ways of being, or a belief there are lesser people than yourself. Both of these speak of energetic disconnection from the heart of yourself and your fellow man/woman. And it shows up in subtle ways for all of us, as it is an energy we have shared in over time.

Judgement of the ways of others, feeling superior to others or believing you are more advanced than others are the evident traps in the spiritual community. None of these thoughts or projections will help the 'others' you are viewing that way to evolve. It will just dim your own energy to create the good you are capable of creating, and puts back out into the world further seeds of war energy, thus encouraging others to contract in fear rather than expand in love.

If you find yourself being judged by another, step away or say something to them, as it will not help you or any of us to be on the direct receiving end of judgement right now. And that energy will be flying around as the ego and male shadow energy shake through us as a collective in transformation following the Venus transit and rise of the feminine.

Finally, the speed of our time is rapid, and the third eye and crown areas are opening fast right now. So the intuitive among you will be noticing that visions and intuitions you have will be transforming and changing, sometimes within hours or days. This is due to a higher level of consciousness arriving at a planetary level. Metaphorically speaking, the psychic ceiling just raised by 100 feet on Earth, almost overnight during June. This invites a more intuitive space for everyone on Earth to walk into, which is a good thing. But for those already developed with the psychic highways, it will be a little crazy up there for a while as you adjust to the new level of speed and information. It's the difference between road traffic in the countryside and the city (for a clear picture, imagine Delhi, India!!).

So take time to get used to it, and don't be surprised if timelines and possibilities that you see and vision for yourself or others, are rapidly shifting for a while.

Much love to all

**************************

"I am conscious that many in the spiritual community want solely to focus on the 'heights' we can attain, but in my view and experience, the greater heights are only reached by being uncensored in ourselves about the low points you may experience or witness. The difficult feelings, or thoughts which come up. The difficult experiences which play out around you.

Life is a spiral path for all of us. We are constantly invited to evolve upwards in life, but we move up and down within that spiral of evolution. With the down moments, we are invited to take the time to stabilise our new heights reached."

Firstly, I was reminded of a Bashar channel called 'Highs and Lows' which I recently watched on youtube where he described these high and low waves.

We are continually expanding our consciousness higher, but "sometimes we have to stop and smell the roses, you have to absorb what you learned."

"The idea of a roller coaster is that you don't just stay on the hill, you have to go down the hill to really get the thrill."

"Even though there are highs and lows, the last low is always higher than the last high".

I've often noticed in the ascension community a lack of acceptance of the lows, as if experience has to be sorted into 'good' and 'bad' piles and all the judgement that comes along with that.  I know from looking back on some of my own past experiences that some of my lowest lows were an integral part of some of my greatest leaps and were not a 'mistake' or failing at all.  We don't have to get stuck there of course, and sometimes I have managed to turn it all around better than at other times.  When we don't allow so-called 'negative' or low experiences in ourselves or others, we are not only judging both ourselves and others (which comes from the mind/ego, and not having the fuller picture) but we are projecting a very disempowering energy and image which is not at all helpful to the one going through such an experience.  Maybe to get from A to D the experiences of B and C were absolutely necessary, despite it seeming like a 'wrong' turning?  Perhaps we don't need any of these labels or judgements to describe experiences that are very personal to each one who is the experiencer.  Not only that, it is actually rather rude and arrogant to assume the position of 'teacher' over someone who is bothering to share a personal experience with perhaps the aim of showing how they overcame it or what they learned from it.   

Many lightworkers want nothing to do with the 'dark' and become very imbalanced to the light, very polarised.  It is really a fear of it, a denial, and then this gets projected out on to others in the form of criticism or advice, or even a request to stop talking about whatever they are discussing or sharing. 
Metaphysical teachings and theories are then (mis)used to club others over the head with, followed by quotes from channels that just 'prove' how mistaken or lost this fellow ascendee must be, whether in discussing personal experiences or their intuitive knowings and wisdom.  We don't have to agree, but maybe more would come of such conversations if further questions were asked rather than invalidating anyones sharing or contributions due to assumptions or the rigid beliefs of others.

Which brings me on to the other section of Lee's forecast that I highlighted, which is that there are "several routes, same destination".  Many of us have very different roles to play in this ascension process.  I am more aware of my own than ever before yet I'm also conscious of the fact that it is not the same role for everyone.   People can assume they have the spiritually superior view but this just shows me the opposite, that their need for agreement or validation is just a product of comparison due to low self esteem and ego.  


As Lee says, "there is no tradition or practice that is superior to all others."  And when one does find something that seems to be superior at this moment in time, it can be interesting to see it dissolve some years later once it has served its purpose.  That doesn't invalidate it though, far from it.
No tradition or practice is a destination in and of itself.  And even beliefs have a habit of changing over time.

  
When you value your own uniqueness, then comparison and conformity with the lives, beliefs or opinions of others is not sought.  If wars have been fought over religions in the old energies, perhaps these lesser squabbles in the ascension or spiritual communities are just the dregs of the old ways coming up for release.
We may have come from the same Source (whatever label it is given) and feel the inter-connectedness, thoughts and energies of our brothers and sisters in mass consciousness, especially those of us who are more sensitive to these things, yet we are not One.  This is the age of the individual.  The only unity we need is one of love and respect for our differences, not to try to erase those differences.  It is up to each individual whether they see these differences in humanity as beneficial or as a threat.  Once this is addressed within it will no longer need to be played out on the world stage as the denied or unowned shadow self.

June 2012 Energy Forecast with Lee Harris

Lee's energy forecast this month focuses on balancing and expressing the feminine energy.

The feminine energy is enormously powerful, and we would not be here without its presence. Yet for so long, the power of the feminine has been feared and suppressed within the psyche and attitude on Earth. The feminine represents the felt and unseen. The feminine power is nurture, creativity, intuition, and heart-centred living and loving. In recent years, these qualities and their value have been rising and are increasingly demonstrated in many men and women worldwide. 

This month, the lid comes off the volcano where the feminine is concerned. June 5th, the day I finish writing this, is the day of the Venus Transit. The first in 8 years. The suppressed feminine will rain on and through all of us throughout June, and the results will be electrifying and destructive in equal measure, depending on your relationship to masculine and feminine energies in your life.

Experiences will be:

• Speaking your truth (regardless of reactions or disagreement with your words)

• Clearing out anger (ingested from others or suppressed in yourself)

• Recognising the magic, beauty and power of being incarnate, alive, and in the moment

• Grieving for life moments, relationships or loved ones lost (emotional purging for renewal) 

• Celebrating the loss of a need for 'structure' around your experience of being human

The irony of the gender imbalance and suppression of women that our world has created this past few thousand years is that every single man is born of a woman. The gender war seems almost laughable then, where many men throughout history have chosen to reject the equality of women – their point of birth. It is an act of disconnection and fear of inequality, both of which are rooted in unconsciousness and shadow. Yet the ways that women and feminine energy have been suppressed and subjugated in our society is anything but laughable. 

The tide has turned now, and this month sees the rise of the feminine in all it's glory and fury. This will deeply affect the experiences around male and female energy in all of us, to subtle or great degrees, depending on your own personal balance and place on the scale. Reading the following paragraphs, you may apply the 'energy' analogies to yourself or those around you, but don't see this as 'gender' I am referring to, for that would be misleading. Remember, there are many men who are deeply rooted in the feminine and many women who exist dominantly in their male energy. But at a societal level, we have been male-energy led for a very, very long time.

The 'old' male energy is currently lost in its leadership on Earth, which is why many men (and women who lead with their male side) are bewildered, burnt-out and direction-less within a male energy engineered society which is currently reaching an inevitable point of collapse. 

So if you are trying to make the 'old structure' work in your life using male energy (seeking external 'success', achievement, society position, accumulation of wealth or materialism) you will likely be in great suffering or frustration right now. For these ways are exactly that – old. The male shadow energy can also be found in competition with others, or comparison with others. Comparison is of course an illusion, as we cannot be anything than ourselves, and we are all connected. But the inner wound which can drive this illusion comes from fear of survival, thus the need to fight or take from another in order to survive.

So be aware of others unconsciously burning off these fragments around you, as some will be fighting their way through this 'power struggle' in themselves throughout June. 

Or if any of these thoughts or feelings arise in you, ask yourself if you too are burning off the male shadow in yourself, as part of your opening process. If this reveals itself to you, do not be afraid if you see it, but consciously bring in some feminine energy, and you will balance. 

The way to do this is nurture yourself, stop achieving, stop trying to control, and don't attempt to remove emotional discomfort through displacement action or organisation. STOP. Just sit with the discomfort for a moment and allow it to be present and invite it to move through you. 

There is a great grace and heart energy coming into our world in June, which will allow the emotional movements to be fast and deep if you are willing to let them go. Conversely, if you resist or insist on sticking to 'the story' of your pain or suffering, things will feel chronic to you until you start to feel rather than 'think' your way through.

So invite the growth of the feminine to become your new way. Start taking moments to slow down, stop, and take in what is going on around you more. Even now, as you read this, stop, look out of your window at a tree, or a person nearby, a picture on the wall. Just take a moment to practise stopping and come back to your senses of the world around you, outside where you are placing your focus right now. This is the feminine in action – sensory, feeling, and perceptive.

In surrendering to feeling more and more, and just allowing each moment to exist in you, you are surrendering to the inner flush of the old and ingested masculine drive. 

One metaphor for this drive is that in your male energy you have been driving along a tarmac road, always happy when driving to your destination, but less comfortable when you arrive and have to stop. We have now run out of tarmac road in our world, so it is time to allow the feminine driver in you to emerge, whether you are man or woman. This way of driving will involve getting off the usual track and seeing instead what is to your left and right – the wide open grasslands that are the feminine roads less travelled. The spaces you hadn't before seen which are fertile for you to plant new seeds of life within.

The rise in feminine energy will beautifully and abundantly support heart and community-centred growth this month. Community building, and heart centred actions will flow easily, and you will find yourself connecting quickly with others who are also in this flow. Energy shared with others multiplies within you, so stay open, get eye contact with those who are willing and open to meet your gaze with heart. Be present. Allow love through the eyes as often as you dare. Both giving and receiving.

Have gratitude for the feminine you have already experienced on Earth, as this way you celebrate what you are inviting. You may wish to thank your mother and your father for their feminine nurture of you. You may wish to thank our Earth, who holds and carries us. Also thank yourself, and the feminine in you which leads you everyday, nurturing you, loving you, supporting your life on Earth.

Finally, love the divine masculine within you. Do not reject any wounded parts of your male energy or the wounds you see in the male elsewhere. The healing of all sides of us is always possible, as rejection of any part of you simply creates further wounding. Compassion and openness for healing are vital energies. As an Energy Master of yourself, this is why learning how to be in your centre is so vital. For then you are not knocked or engaged by the wounded behaviours of others. But can be a silent, compassionate observer of their process and an advocate of positive, heart-centred action in the world. 

The Divine masculine and feminine in each of us is rising to create a more heartfelt way of being and living in unity with our planet and each other. We simply need to invite and allow the process.

The life of the soul is infinite. 

The life of the human, is momentary. 

Enjoy the moments and trust that what arises in you as each moment occurs, will also, move. Just as the mother who births the infant knows that one day, that infant will be grown.

Message from Zachary:

There is a great balancing taking place on Earth, before your people and planet move into the next level of life and evolution. The importance of this year, 2012, is often spoken of, but we say to you it is 2012-2015 which will shape the immediate future of Earth and your people, and in many ways your perception of '2012' energy began as early as 2008. 

The offering of this time for more people on your planet than in the last few thousand years, is a leap opportunity where many at one time will be able to wake up to the cosmic mystery of the energy of life, which until now on Earth has been heavily veiled for the mass.

 Many of you have been aware of this rising intensity ('the quickening') since the leap points in 2001, 2003 and 2007 which accelerated the evolution of linear time and physical matter, and in response, the experience of being human.

As human bodies, you are physically 'following' this curve of planetary evolution rather than leading it. As souls, you are aware of all aspects of what is occurring and very 'in the moment' with your process. 

 So, rather than being in 'the quickening' as some of you knew it, you can see yourselves as in 'the happening'. You will move through this time with the most grace if you attend to working with your body and your consciousness in equal measure. Balance the body and its consciousness as much as possible. For balance will be hard to maintain during the rising geomagnetic intensity you are experiencing, so extra diligence and new approaches will be required with these physical vehicles of yours. 

Many of you wish to know what is coming, and feel fear around this. Yet ask yourself what is this fear? Why is the fear of 'what is future' so great that you are anxiously focusing on the future and forgetting 'what is now'. In fact the fear is of 'now'. So get in touch with, and befriend the fear in your body in the now, so that you are once more clear and open to everything and prepared in yourself for anything. Catch the parts of you still living in the old story of physical survival. You are more than physical. You have always been more than physical. And if you deny this part of yourself, you deny the truth of what is occurring in this stage of 2012. Resistance to what you experience within your body emotionally will only lead to struggle and prolonged suffering. Willingness to live internally, and allow the external to shape itself around you according to that, will provide the most illuminating moments.

The balance of the feminine is a power balance. The full power of the human has been suppressed and denied for as long as this imbalance has existed. Even in those already developed in the feminine, even greater power (of seeing, of feeling and of creating) will now be released into the feminine within you. This is due to the shift taking place in individual consciousnesses and then, politically and culturally around the globe. For politics and culture, also 'follow' the curve of planetary evolution, with politics being the slowest to change and having the strongest resistance currently. Politics is a wonderful marker of human resistance to change. It shows you where the 'weight' is heaviest. In most countries worldwide, it is still dominated by male 'old' energy, so be conscious that this is what you are focusing on when politics frustrates you. 

So when your 'story' about yourself, your life, your politics, or even 2012, becomes tight or constricted in you, remember that to release the limited definition of the story in your mind is to release the internal struggle in the body and the emotions. Thus freeing yourself back into the width of the universal matrix.

And remember that you are not alone, that the Earth is her own being, and that this, is a very big universe. 

Affirmation:

I open to the feminine within me, and I invite balance into my energy field.

I open to the feminine outside of me, and with new eyes, I see and feel its presence, everywhere.

I open to meet the heart of the world through the heart of myself.

In love and in peace to all

March 2012 Energy Forecast - Lee Harris

The latest energy forecast by Lee Harris is full of useful advice and tips about navigating more easily through the current energies during this time of transition and intensity. I have copied the text in full so that it translates easily into other languages by using the translator in the top margin of this blog. My aim for creating this blog was always to make these materials accessible to non-English speaking countries, and I always feel excited when a new flag from a country i haven't even heard of before pops up in the Live Feed box (towards bottom of right margin).

Anyway, here is the video. The text follows.

My aim for these energy forecasts is to publish them online by the 5th of each month. As I sat at my laptop over the last 3 days to see if it would come through me, “No. Rest” was the instruction I repeatedly heard. I was happy to follow that instruction, and yet another part of me noticed my awareness of those who might be waiting for this forecast, and felt a slight pull in your direction.

Hence one of the first big themes of March – Who comes first? You or those you are in relationship with and to? March will see you needing to ask yourself this question many times. Can you trust that what is right for you is also absolutely perfect for those around you?

March is about fostering self-leadership, self-love and self-nurture. The outcome of focusing on these areas in yourself will be offering better love, nurture and leadership to others. Can you allow yourself to lead, regardless of whether others follow?

We live as a tribe who are in response to each other as much as to our own inner impulses. We stop ourselves saying something because of fear of what others may feel in response to our words. We stop ourselves acting for fear our actions could cause upset, or draw the judgement of others.

So who is leading the transformation of our world if this is how we behave? Who is leading us into a new way of being if we and our friends are playing an old 'game of safety' in our relationships? This game of safety is quite different to having compassion for one another. You can still be in compassion for another even as you lead you and your partner out of this game and into new, more authentic words and actions. There are times when the 'game of safety' may work beautifully for you, and there are times where it will be too tight a fit for who you are becoming.

March is going to bring this 'game' strongly to your attention. March asks you to live and love boldly, rather than safely. The challenge will be to become aware of which mode you are in and when. This 'game of safety' works like a hidden script in us – it is strong within the human psyche, emotions and genetic body. We are being asked to now see and then let go of this programming, at deeper levels than before.

It takes energy to get used to first seeing, and then making these changes. It can bring shock when you have a revelation about yourself and/or your relationships. This shock then requires some emotional adjustment time before action can occur. This will be the dance of March, and as a result, a strong tiredness will come over you at times. This tiredness will have been a feature at times in recent weeks, like a sudden wave. This will continue to be a factor for many into early April, although with less of the viral and physical illnesses that have been a catalyst of that tiredness ('energy adjustment') these past 8 weeks.

These are demanding times energetically, even with all the highs and states of revelation you may be experiencing. So respect your needs to rest and if you suddenly feel tired, don't worry or try to speed yourself up, but instead listen to your body and slow down or stop in these moments. '2012 fatigue' will be mighty at times.

There are several other factors creating the tiredness – solar flare activity and our astrological position as a planet being a strong component. The Galactic alignment of 2012 only happens once every 26,000 years. So our bodies and their memory codes are going through a rapid shift, as it has been a long time on Earth since our ancestral genetic bodies have undergone such influences. The 'consciousness body' within each of us is waking up fast in order to greet the changes. This brings with it a collective lifting of denial and suppression in our world, and as a result, a great rise in power will follow, personally and collectively.

There are many aspects to this 'transformation of consciousness' (of which 2012 is the axis point), and we are being bombarded with information as a result. Where is your focus? Whether you have been focused on predictions around the end of the Mayan Calendar, alarmed by yet another war taking place, coming to terms with how many ecological crises there currently are, or dealing with the grief of your friend who has just lost her husband to cancer, the rising intensity can't be escaped by any of us.

Yet the truth is, the experience of such intensity can bring us back to greater peace, by rapidly waking us up, faster than ever before, and this is what is occurring now. We are reminded that all we truly have is the moment and this is the place our focus needs to be. This can be an annoying statement to those used to living in the mind or mostly in the past and the future, and a confusing concept to those of us who were trained not to live in the moment the older we became as children.

And yet the moment is the spine of life and the more you access it, the more it becomes the safest and truest place to be. How in the moment is your life allowing you to be right now? What would it take to stop you in your tracks and let you breathe the air, look at the trees, smile at a stranger, wonder at this physical body you have and this beautiful planet we are on? What would it take? If you have been running full speed for a while, expect it to take some weeks of gentle slowing down to ease you back into living more in the moment. But you will get there, if you start your journey now.

Whenever I speak about living in the moment, I often think of Mothers, and all that their daily lives involve. From my observation, mothers tend to be the busiest people on the planet. How do mothers live in the moment and take that time when they have so many dependants? (I’ve included some more detailed guidance for mothers at the end of the forecast)

Women and mothers are so important in this time of the emerging feminine on Earth. If our mothers are stressed and overtired, so too is our nurturing ability toward ourselves and the planet. We the people are a mirror of nature and currently, nature wants us to wake up and start treating her differently and nurturing her restoration. For she too is overworked, and straining for balance. She, our original mother.

We can address this imbalance in ourselves as humans, as well as directing our output toward positive solutions. Action and energetic focus combined are a beautiful combination and will give people the most 'alive' experience in the coming years. The grounded actions many of you will take in your work and your lives will move energy powerfully in our world, and create positive differences for people. The collective shift of the next 3- 4 years will be strong, fast, and it will feel good to be involved.

But there are many different human roles in this shift. There are those who will feel inclined to simply trust that 'all is well' and just to be in that space, meditating and holding that frequency for others and the planet purely through meditation and energy work. They have their role in the energy balancing, just as there are those of you who will have a more practical, action-based role to play. Trust where you find yourself to be on that spectrum and then work towards deepening and unfolding your strength and presence in that area.

After a period of lock down and an intense emotional clear out since mid January, the energy skies have opened up again for forward movement and calm, as of March 6th-8th. You will see experiences of 'charging ahead' and 'breaking loose' in the first 2 weeks, as a result of the space, so expect change to be happening, fast and more effortlessly than before. But a calm will be present, underlying the movement, felt by those of you attending to body balance.

Then after March 16th, a slowing down in changes will occur, in order for more intensity to be released from within, again creating space for change once more. This intensity will be emotionally felt within you, and many of you will go deep into your base chakra to clear out issues of either anger/frustration or primal fear. Power and dis-empowerment issues, and memory replay of dis-empowerment in relationships or power abuses will be a feature in this later part of the month.

Energy maintenance continues to be crucial for balance for all at these times - looking after your body with good nutrition and regular exercise/movement and getting regular alone/creative/meditative time. Tending to these needs will allow more joy and peace to be present for you than if you ignore these requirements of the soul and the body.

Regarding balance, a piece of advice I often give, is that if you are home and feeling off-centre but you don't know why, leave the house and take a brief walk around your block or surrounding areas. The illusion that the walls of our home create, is that we are 'alone' and disconnected from those living next door or around us. Yet this is not the truth, as energy is not held back by walls, so a lot of the time when off-centre, you are picking up on your neighbours and surrounding community energy. In these moments, taking a perimeter walk around your environment will give your body an 'energy sense' of what you are surrounded by. This can then alleviate the intensity you feel, through giving your senses the chance to walk through and thus better integrate the energy you are surrounded by.

Much love and peace to all of you

Affirmation for March:

I will love and nurture myself, body and soul.

I will honour and enjoy myself, body and soul.

I will love and remember those around me, for we are all brothers and sisters.

I will love and nurture my original mother, the Earth, just as she nurtures my life.

Message to Mothers:

Remember that as a mother, you can invite your kids to experience the moment with you. Do not separate your own spiritual awakening from them, even if they seem initially disinterested. Younger children will usually be keen to meditate, do yoga, sit in the garden, talk about feelings, intuition and the energy of things. Teenagers may seem less enthusiastic, but remember teenagers are also searching for deeper meaning, and dealing with the intensity of rising hormones. Offering them a chance to connect with these practises or discussions could seem initially less welcomed by them than by younger children, but you may be surprised how open they are.

So with your kids, let go of the usual routine for a while and look at life in a spiritual or intuitive way with them. Children are hungry for this right now and it will connect you more with them and yourself if you join with them in this.

I encourage you, as a possibly overworked mother, to find the balance for yourself amidst it all through delegation. If your family demands are too great for you to have space and time, then delegate and share the load with your partners, relatives, friends or your children. It need not all be on your shoulders, and if it is, then you need to allow more help.

January Energy Forecast by Lee Harris

January Energy Forecast - Concrete Change Begins by Lee Harris

Many of you will have noticed these past few years have been ones of clearing the way, with periods of forward movement then periods of integration - integration that sometimes felt like regression.

The 'old' mind (which sees the world based on how things were 5-10 years ago) often tells you

this process is chaotic or that something is going wrong.

Yet this experience is playing out exactly as was predicted for a long time. These years

were always about a great shift for the planet and us, its people. And the pattern for the last few years is that the shift takes place within us as much as outside of us.

2011 sees a noticeable difference. Where many of you have been energy surfing for a few years

and now used to this ride, it has taught you to stay grounded through it all, to let go of control,

surrender to what is, to feel what you're feeling and simply 'get on with it' for you never know what's coming next.

Well, January will see more of you 'getting on with it' more than ever before. This will give you a powerful energy up-shift for the month which will be in stark contrast to many people around you.

January is typically the lowest month from the emotional perspective for many in the western world. Festivities of Christmas are over, fatigue and/or disillusionment sets in for those who had

a strong focus on the holidays and suddenly let go of that focus, and in most countries, the weather is a literal challenge to our bodies. Even the lack of daylight affects our physical mood.

Stay conscious of this and hold your own vibration as these energies swirl around you. Physical exercise, fresh air and nature, listening to music and dancing are all great remedies.

Many of you who have been working on emotionally clearing for awhile will now immerse yourselves in new projects and activities. Don't turn down invitations to try new things or go new places this month, because shifting your energy towards anything new in January will have a positive effect. It sets up a template, opening you to new things and new people to come into your life. And you will be surprised at where those things take you. Anything new will have a powerful energy in January while older or more known aspects will be somewhat stable and quieter for you. In some ways, the quiet internal space many will go into during this month will allow those of you holding a high vibration to step forward, to receive some of the energetic

space left behind by those who are feeling the need to internalize.

This year many of you paving the way for the next 2-3 years and making concrete new realities

for yourselves. If you’re working on creative projects, from January onwards, recognize these projects will form a STRONG part of your world for the next 2-3 years.

They will be holding an energy of 2012 as everything being created this year is designed to withstand and usher in the changes 2012 will bring. Everything not in alignment with that energy will either not work or be left unformed.

The intensity experienced by most of you in November and December will calm in January, because until March 2011, the influx of new energies will happen at a steadier pace. What began to hit in November is now stabilizing.

Be aware however that any new commitments should be carefully considered. Playing with and

experiencing new avenues will work well, but trying to define long-term commitments with others (i.e. business, friendships or relationships) would be better left for February and March since January’s push for you to continually let go of anything not of your frequency will remain

front and center. New endeavors will need a 2-3 month period to stabilize before you commit

to anything long-term. This part of my forecast surprises me as I write it. I’m thinking, “Surely we’re all aware that nothing is certain in this life regarding commitments?”

However, I am assured this information is important because some of you who will be asked to commit to new things and people, those requests will often come from those who want to harness or hold onto your energy. And by February or March, you will see this and realize these are not the tethers for you. So just stay mindful that any commitments you make are only needed in the Now, and be wary of anyone pressuring you to sign a dotted line. You will know in a month or two what commitments are in your highest and best good.

This dynamic will show up in personal relationships as well. You may have confrontations and/or clearings within some personal relationships where it is time to move out of old contracts and roles. 50% of these relationships will strengthen as a result and 50% will lessen their importance in your life for a while. However it may seem in the moment, it’s all good. These released contracts will allow you to usher in the new. As we are more defined by the people around us (our 'contracts') than we usually realize.

2011 will be the most important year of your life so far, and as a result it will be a year colored by big decisions and experiences as this new wave of light gets more grounded.

Things are becoming more concrete within you and within everyone.

This month begins a year of celebration of freedom around the world. Freedom often comes through first seeing and then breaking the perceived prisons, shackles or handcuffs you’ve been bound by. And the wrist-burn that sometimes accompanies the release process is quickly replaced by the euphoria of that newly found liberation.

If November and December saw you breaking more shackles than ever, know that January brings you the freedom you’ve been seeking these past years.

That freedom begins with you and your energy, so throw yourself into whatever feels right and let the momentum carry you.

Go explore the world again.....
