A Summer Message

This is the fruited time of the year, in your half of the planet, and the animals and plants are singing in joy. Why do you humans not join them? Why do you not also raise up your voices and your hearts and sing? The answer is simple: you have removed yourself so much from this aspect of living, that you no longer see it. You go to your large supermarkets and stores, and you do not know where things come from, or when. The availability of produce and product is a wonderful abundant lesson for humanity, but it also has its darker side: you have forgotten what joy there is the abundance of nature and of the fruitful times, and so you do not know anymore what the feeling is that you are trying so hard to recreate on a daily basis. You came far from the fields to the cities and markets so that you would always feel this fruitful feeling, and now you have lost it. In order for humanity to reach its next level of evolution, this feeling must be regained. You must remember what this feeling is. We would say to those who will hear us: regain this feeling. Pick strawberries. Wander in fields and in parks. Watch the birds rejoicing. Connect with your greater selves, with your souls, and ask them to help you recreate this feeling. Ask the devas and overlighting angels of your areas to send you all the fruitful lessons of joy and grace that they can, and to help you lift your spirits. Be well. Be in Joy.

Poison Ivy: A Channeled History

A long time ago, poison ivy was considered a power plant. It was used by people throughout the Americas much like tobacco, smoked for hallucinations and healing ceremonies. As it gave the power to see the future, it was used wrongly, and because of it many battles were won and many died, and so the poison ivy transmuted itself to give rashes, so that it could no longer be used. It can not be smoked, or taken internally, in any form other than homeopathically. The more you have killed in your past lives, the more sensitive you are likely to be to poison ivy. Those who never killed are totally immune to it. It is not a punishment, but rather a booby trap. The more the wars of America rage, the more the ivy grows, and grows. It is good in this climate, and humans are encouraging its growth in preparation, to remind themselves in the future to kill less, and not at all.

Help -- I Can't Hear My Guides!

Dear Eden,
I feel so lost and down. How can I connect to my spirit guides and hear them clearly? I'm trying and I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Is it not trusting enough?
Thank you, S.

Dearest S.,

You are not doing anything wrong. It is not that you do not trust enough, but that you are not quite listening. The very fact that you feel lost and down is a very clear indicator that you are not hearing or following your own guidance. If you are feeling down, then you are not in alignment with your true self. If you are sad or angry, your predominant thought pattern is in direct opposition to what your true self and your guides would have you do or feel: which is always, at its root, to BE IN JOY.

Everyone receives messages from their guides in a different manner. Some people hear voices, some people find small visual messages through out the day (omens, or confirmations, such as hawks flying overhead when they have a certain thought, or the wind blowing just a bit harder at a particular moment, or a compelling ad on the TV.) Some people experience physical sensations such as a tap on their hand, or a tickle in their ear. And still others experience things in their gut, or just a simple “knowing”. For all, though, the emotions are a powerful indicator which allow one to see when they are on the right path or not. If you cannot sustain happiness, then you are not on the right path. Period.

And when you are persisting in doing and thinking that which draw you away from your self, that which makes you unhappy and joy-less, then you are distancing yourself from your guides, from your guidance system.

So the first thing we would tell you is to do something that makes you feel better. Do something that makes you smile. And then do it again. And then ask yourself and your guides what you can do to keep that feeling. And do that. And do it again. Everything will be as it will be. Trust your self. Trust your joy.

Blessings, Eden
