Sananda: Be With and Of the Creator
As Channeled Through Fran Zepeda
September 3, 2012
===============================
 
Greetings, beloved Lightworkers. I come before you today to speak of more assistance in your ascension process.
 
You are all progressing very nicely in your process. The last energy surge and influx was instrumental in bringing more and more of you on-line. Now you are processing what you have received. The influx continues but you are more prepared and ready to receive than before.
 
You all are unique in your process but all contain the seed of Divinity that is ever growing in strength as you progress.
 
Take a moment now to ponder and assess your Light Body.  Are you feeling more aware of it? Are you feeling more energy surges throughout your body as we speak, a kind of pulsing and expansion that is ongoing? Excellent. Allow that, dear Ones.
 
As you pull your awareness away from your thoughts and more into your Heart, it is becoming more and more your World. It is self-sustaining and nurturing and nourishing. Let that become your complete focus from now on, what you build in your Heart, as you allow more Light and Love to infiltrate your Being, as you become engorged with it.
 
For all intents and purposes, you have changed your focus a great deal as you allow Love to be who you are. It rules your actions now more than ever. Things around you naturally fall in line and rhythm because of it.
 
The frequency of Love is building in all and is affecting all around you, including Mother Earth.  Your body is transforming to house it in greater capacity, as you embark on this new path of your ascension which is becoming more streamlined and potent.
 
Let go of your pre-conceived ideas of what ascension is, and just experience it as your Heart fills up in greater capacity. You naturally let it flow out to the universes and everything is caught up in the raising of frequency.
 
Beloveds, it is not necessary for you to grasp everything on an intellectual level anymore. Allow the surge of Light to envelop you and transform you and rejoice in the wonderful feeling of Joy that is part and parcel of this transformation.
 
Be the Love in your Heart; allow it to influence everything you do and say. Accept the vibration of the Creator to the fullest every moment of your life. Let it overtake you, let it rule your thoughts, let it Be your thoughts, from now on into eternity, dear Ones.
 
Accept that you are not the same as you were yesterday. Accept that you are so much more than you ever dreamed – so full of Love, of Divinity, that you are becoming it once again, not just for a moment in the day or for the time you devote to meditation, but let it rule your World.
 
Create from that, dear Ones; create from that growing Love in your Heart and you will be surrounded by miracles in a constant flow. Now is the time to let that appear in your lives. Now is the time to surrender to the Creator’s essence that is you.
 
Now is the time to surrender to who you really are, not just the outer casing of you that was designed for experience, but the strong Light of Love and Divinity, which is your true Essence.
 
Roll up all those experiences and negative thoughts and fears into the Love you are allowing to build in you and release them like you would a butterfly from the tip of your finger. Shine the Light on the remaining limiting beliefs and issues that still inhabit your psyche and love them and release them. Now is the time to soar with the newfound Lightness you are gaining.
 
May you continue to experience peace through this process.  You are encountering the last leg of your journey so do not let a moment go by without attending to it.
 
I stand ready to lend you assistance.
 
I am Sananda, at your service.

Today's Angel Message
=====================
 
 
Archangel Michael: Dear Ones, Your Time Has Arrived
 
The topic we wish to discuss today is the opportunity you have at this time due to the opening of the nine-nine portal.  The build-up we promised you has begun.  You will have a full week of opportunity without precedent to realize more of the new selves you desire to be.  Each of you has been working on different aspects of your lives.
 
Your Higher Selves, those immense beings of whom you are facets, know already what those are.  In fact, more than likely you have been guided by them to those things.  Some are trying to manifest new skills or talents.  Some are trying to clear old habits.  Some are trying to heal.  You may stop trying now.  Place yourselves into the care of your Higher Selves and your Creator.  Make it your aim now to intake and assimilate all of the available love and light that you are capable of at this time.  Understand that we are speaking of the consciousness of which you are made.  Your prayers and desires have been heard.  Your needs are known.  We would guide you to open, allow, and trust.  Breathe in all of these new energies that you can and, in gratitude, allow them to make all the changes in you that are needed.
 
If you have reached a point that allows you to feel the incoming energy in some way, imagine it flowing into you and increasing as much as possible.  Who do you want to be?  Imagine that.  What do you wish to do?  Imagine that.  Imagine it in your hearts.  If your mind is still raising reasons why you can’t be that, or why it would be difficult, remind it that the force which has created universes will have no problem with such small things.
 
Your time has arrived, dear ones.  Most are picturing this portal as some kind of opening for incoming things, and perhaps it is that, but let it be for you a doorway home to your true selves.  Enter it now with playful enthusiasm.
 
This short message is enough for today.  We will speak several more times before this doorway closes.  We are walking beside you each moment.  Know we are here with you.  Be well.

Oakbridge University - Jeshua - Message of the Day
 
 
Beloved one, if you find yourself on the zipper [fault line] and it is opening, know that you are there for a purpose, to help other ones. If you are standing on the zipper and you fall into it and there is choice to release the body, then you can do that. No judgment, because if you do release the body, you are going to turn around very quickly and come back either in incarnate form or in fifth dimensional form and help with the next level of consciousness.

Ashtar Command: The Earth Allies Lead Freedom’s Charge
September 5, 2012
==================================================
 
Sealing the deal of your new world and all the advancements, projects and gifts that we have spoken about is our, and your, Earth allies, who now are pressing forward and are upholding their word as they gave us their word and pronounced that they would make these arrests of the criminal elements of your cabal. This vow has been kept by them. They have done themselves proud, they have strengthened our confidence in them, they have demonstrated clearly to us now that they are a group of individuals who can be trusted, who can be relied on, who will do what it is they say they will do. Our hats come off to these brave men and women who we salute with honor, for we understand the bravery, the courage, the conviction, the determination, the heart and the soul, the fire and the fortitude that it has taken to step forward and begin to make these changes that will see to an entirely new remodeling and re-sculpting, re-building, re-planning and re-organizing of their world.

We realize brothers and sisters that this is no easy task. We understand that much planning had to go into these procedures. We understand that time is much different for you that it is for us. We realize there are only a certain amount of hours in your day as compared to our days that are virtually never-ending, as we do not have sun-up and sun-down and our physical vessels do not tire as yours do, our physical vessels do not require nourishment as yours do, we do not suffer from fatigue, we do not suffer from excessive heat or excessive cold and we do not suffer at all under any elements of adverse weather.

We see the men and women in your fields as we monitor their movements and watch over them in our offering of protection, and we see the challenges and the hardships that they endure and we only wish that you, their own brothers and sisters can see what our eyes clearly see, and that is that your family members are struggling, they are battling, they are fighting and they are winning your freedom back from those thieves who have stolen it, from those thieves that some of you elected into office, that some of you even support until this very day.

This is actually quite troubling, as we cannot understand how there would be so many of you who still support these wayward souls who have driven your society into the gutter, into madness, into a prison the size of an entire planet. These dark beings could not have acquired and could not continue their reign of control unless they had a support system, unless they had backing from those of their subjects that they rule over. Never in your history have so many understood what is going on in your world, yet no changes have been affected. In your past history there were episodes where the people, the public, the man and woman on the street, and in many cases yes, they even lived on the streets, saw what was happening and rose up in revolution and took back what was theirs only to lose it again when yet another that they trusted turned on them, accepting bribery while handing in their honor, their duty, their word, their heart, their will, their consciousness, their love, their empathy, their kindness, their concern, their compassion and their mercy for their fellow brothers and sisters.

This is what has happened once again here in certain parts of your world, where the people did see what was transpiring and they rose up and they did all of what they felt they could and they elected officials who they believed was one of them, who they believed was like them, who they believed had a heart like them, a consciousness structure like them, someone they felt bled like them, loved like them, hurt like them and felt pain and sorrow and misery like them, and someone they thought would have empathy for their very own brothers and sisters. They were wrong. The people that supported and elected these souls made a mistake in judgment. They elected yet another stooge, another puppet, another profiteer, another thief, another criminal, another wayward soul who has, for he was led astray by the promises of riches and power, turned his back on his own family, his brothers and sisters who now are finally beginning to see that he is not one of them, that she is not one of them, that they are their own class these dark souls.

They see themselves as royalty, whether they call themselves kings or queens or princes or princesses they consider themselves grand, royal and even elitist, and they call themselves these monikers openly, yet so many of your people do not see this, they do not hear this, this is not registering on their minds what is going on here.  So we will try to paint a picture for you, we will shout as loud as we can because we do love you, we do care about you, we are concerned for you, we are here to assist you and support you and help you stand up straight and strengthen your back to withstand the pushing that these elitists are doing.

We say to all those with ears in your world there is something very wrong going on. There are a just a handful of these elitists, which is what they call themselves, we are not coining this term to make this clear. These self proclaimed elitists are pushing you to the brink of poverty, of destitution, of starvation, of sickness. They are stripping from you every last right that you possess. Yes, this is their plan. This is not a symptom of their disease; this is what they are attempting to do. This is what they plan in secret. We sit in right next to them at their meetings undetected, and we tell you this is what words come from their lips. They say things like “These peasants must go. These peasants, these insects must be crushed. We must eliminate them, this odor from our midst. We must find a way to eliminate them in vast numbers, all at once so they cannot detect what it is we are doing.”

These are some of the actual words that they have recently spoken. We tell you this, for it is the truth. We were there. We have recorded these sessions, and these meetings will be replayed for you, the people of Earth in their entirety for you. Not in a scratchy recording, not in blurred video footage. You will be able to sit in on this meeting as if it was currently taking place, for we possess technology that allows us to do this. We have time technologies that will allow us to peel back the hours and the days, months, years and even centuries, and we can stand within an event that transpired in your world as if it was taking place for the first time, in its original time period.

This technology may seem quite staggering to some of you, and indeed it is quite overwhelming for many who take this ‘ride,’ if you will, for the first time, and we promise you that there will be those of you who are permitted to take this ride and you will take this ride and there will be representatives of your people present, the real representatives of the real people of Earth, not these elected pilferers, these thieves, murderers and indecents, but you who they refer to as the ‘common man.’ We will allow your representatives in large numbers to sit in at these meetings and listen to what it is these individuals have been and continue to scheme, plan and plot. This will surely open some eyes when respected members of your own communities report back to you that they heard these very individuals speak these words with their own ears and saw their actions with their own eyes. This is what is going to take place we promise you, for the people of your world need to wake up and ‘smell the coffee’ as you say, for this kind of charade cannot be allowed to continue any longer.

The people of your world have been duped, you have been tricked, you have been conned, you have been swindled, you have been unduly and unconsciously influenced through powerful techniques of mind control, influence and psychotronic warfare. We tell you these things not to frighten you, not to instill panic or worry. We tell you this for two reasons; one; it is the truth, and two; you need to hear this. These are the only two reasons we tell you these things, and if anybody tells you we are telling you these things for any other reason they are a liar, for they are reciting a lie. They do not understand what it is we are all about, they do not even understand who we are in relation to you, for in many cases we are you.

We have tried to offer hints to you that we are you, but this hint seems to have been slowly taken, so we will ‘up the ante’ as you say and tell you that there are a number of you who are reading these words right now who are also writing these words. Do you now understand this more clearly? We do not think we can be any clearer than that, but we shall try. There are those of you who are at this very moment, in what you know as time, here on our side, just as physically, just as mentally, just as emotionally and awake as you are there on your side. There are two of you, you may say. There is a higher dimensional aspect of yourself and a lower dimensional aspect of yourself.

This cannot be said for all of you. Keep in mind, there are some of you who are only there, we wish to make that perfectly clear. There are only a portion of you who have a portion of yourselves there and a portion of yourselves here. What percentage of this portion of yourself differs from being to being, but we shall say a much smaller portion of yourself or your entire being or your energy is there within the lower realms as ‘you,’ and a much greater ‘slice’ you may say of yourself is here, as this is the way you wished it to be as not a great deal of your energy was required for this, your 3rd dimensional experience, and it was actually much more productive for you to limit yourself in many ways so you would experience challenge and struggle and you would have to find a way to persevere to overcome these challenges and obstacles.

Do you understand? Do you understand that your journey into the 3D world was not supposed to be a joyride, was not supposed to be a Sunday stroll through the park or a picnic in a field? Your journey into the physical was supposed to be a great challenge, so you purposely only took with you enough energy to basically survive, and you have had to find ways to overcome all the challenges that you yourself conjured up for yourself, you yourself scripted. You had some help in some ways, but we have done absolutely nothing that you have not clearly expressed you wished to experience.

We feel we've been very clear on this and we do remind you that we would love to see some of you slow down while reading these messages, for they are not too long and they do not take up much of your day, so please slow down and read them more carefully, for we feel you will be able to take from these messages certain insights that some of you may be missing from time to time, as we read your comments and we see many misunderstandings and we cannot take such a great portion of each message to explain to you what you have misunderstood in a previous message. You can certainly understand this, can't you dear ones? There is a time schedule that we are trying to keep as well. Many of the messages that we send you have been pre-written in a very sequential order, for there are certain things that we feel you need to know at certain intervals of your time. If we have to keep going back to re-discuss and re-examine certain issues, you, as well as we, will fall behind on our schedules. That is enough about this, as we do not wish to fall back any more today.

We would like to talk to you more about you, and about what you could, and you may even say should be doing at this very moment. You could be helping to share the information related to these mass arrests that we now confidently say to you are transpiring. They have yet to break any of the media blackout barriers, but we say this will occur, however it is not likely to occur for quite some time and it is quite some time that you and we do not have. So what we are suggesting to you is to do what it is you can and sniff out these stories for yourselves. You can do this. Each and every one of you knows precisely how a reporter gets their news. They, at least they are supposed to, get out on their own in the field and snoop around, if you will, investigate, pry, peek, ask others for information, follow clues, speak with those on the inside who are willing to share some secrets or even classified information.

We are not asking you to betray your government officials who may at this time pronounce some of this information classified. We are not asking for complete anarchy, but what we are doing is asking you to play reporter, to be a reporter, to live the life of reporter. Take with you out in to the fields your camera or your video camera, your pen and pad and try to find out for yourselves what is going on. Many of you could do this without leaving the chair in front of your computer, for your computer is your eyes and your ears; it is your vehicle that you can navigate all around the world and to the far corners of even your most remote nations. This for now is your spacecraft, and we say to those of you interested in such work to delve deep into your tools that you possess and you may find snippets of information in the most unlikely of places.

Namely, you might find information pertaining to these arrests through foreign sources, for some of these foreign sources are not under the jurisdiction, under the rule, under the command of the cabal. So who is it that is not under the control of the cabal? Well, we ask you who is it that your cabal is at war with throughout this current period of your history. Who is battling your cabal on the front lines besides our Earth allies who are your very own troops and law-enforcement officials of your own nations? What we are asking is what nations, what people are at war battling for their freedom, as their homes are being invaded by the forces aligned with the dark?

This is what we will leave you with today dear ones, and we say to you if you follow these lines of thought that we have shared with you today, we feel you will find your way to some of these stories, for we feel it is here that these stories will first be covered by official members of your world press, for these countries as well have professional journalists and a media structure just as professional as those in your western worlds.

That is all we have for you today dear ones and we say to you keep your chins up, keep the faith, remain confident, the changes that you have all so wished for very much are now upon you. They will now commence, you have our word on this for you, the people of your world and especially the men and women on your front lines battling for your freedom have kept your word, and we thank you for this, and we salute you for this, and we honor you for this and we admire you for this. You have shown great courage, drive and determination, and you are the leaders of your people today fighting for freedom, and it is freedom you shall attain for yourselves.

We are your friends, your allies, your family and even you of the Ashtar Galactic Command.

The Gift of Seven Extraordinary Days of Grace Pt. 2
by Caroline Myss 06/30/2012
September 7, 2012
============================================
 
The response to the May Salon introducing the subject of, The Gift of Seven Extraordinary Days of Grace, has been wonderful. It’s obvious that the subject of grace remains as intriguing now as it was two thousand years ago when the graces were first named and identified. It’s so fascinating that as a result of a leap in humankind’s spiritual evolution brought about by the advent of the great Divine beings of Jesus and Buddha (a bit earlier), and others not quite of their caliber, emphasis was turned to the exploration of the power of the individual in relationship to the Divine. As the Judeo-Christian tradition began to take shape, the spiritual powers of the merger of these two traditions likewise formed.
 
Not that you need a sort of “religion” class, but I think this information is essential and I present it not – repeat not – from the “religion” perspective but rather from the historic. In order to delve into the subject of grace, we must look to the history of grace. The teacher and great cosmic being, Jesus, modeled the fully-evolved human soul. He could heal and perform miracles, he had mastery over physical matter including death and disease, he could speak to anyone, he had the gift of prophecy, he felt energy flow through him that was meant to heal people – he was, in other words, fully present in his physical form while having a fully cosmic soul.
 
Realize that Jesus’ message was, “These and other things can you do.” He did not position himself as a Divine being, much less as the initiator of all the trappings that have come after him. His role, I believe, was to model the highest potential of the human soul. I will never believe he came here to found countless churches, but to inspire people to understand the spiritual purpose – and therefore spiritual power – present within the human experience. (Note: the only way people through the centuries could explain his “power” was to deify it.)
 
Jesus left a legacy of phenomena behind him. He baffled people, astounded them, and inspired them. He also left those early Christians in a state of awe as they continued to witness healings and miracles in a way that we will rarely if ever see. It’s not that such healings are impossible. It’s just that we do not relate to either the “spirit” or to the power of grace in the same divinely organic way that characterized people so long ago. Let’s say, before we became so “enlightened or rational,” miracles, healing, and the mystical nature of life were far more accessible. People did not demand that proof be provided before faith; rather, faith came before proof.
 
Stories of early Christians seem to reveal that people eagerly embraced the gifts of healing, prophecy, knowledge (or revelation), piety (profound faith), counsel (extraordinary intuitive abilities), wisdom (decision-making abilities/leadership), discernment (clear judgment), mercy, and the more mysterious “speaking in tongues.” But as the church developed into a more political and controlling organization (which did not take long), managing these precious gifts became an issue. I mean, how could everyone just qualify for “gifts” – just like that? Impossible.
 
Arrogance took precedence over humbleness and the rest, as they say, is indeed history. It’s no wonder then that today we live in a society that needs grace defined again and again – and yet, again. What is it? How does it work? But how do I know when grace has come into my life? What do I do to make grace come into my life? Do I need special prayers?
 
Let me make this easy on you. You are already accustomed to thinking in the language of “energy.” You are comfortable saying, “I’m exhausted. I have absolutely no energy.” Or, “That person drains all the energy from me.” Or, “When I walk in the mornings, I have energy all day long.” I don’t have to define “energy” for you at all, and yet, what if someone had no idea what you were talking about. What would you tell them? You can’t see, touch, taste, smell, or hear the “energy” to which you are referring. Yet, you know when you are energized and when you are not. You know when something, someone, something you’re thinking, something you’ve said or done either energizes you or drains all the energy from your system.
 
Just this morning, for example, I had to send the last section of my book to my editor. I completed it last week before I went off to a workshop and thought I had sent it to my editor before I left, only to receive this email from her while I was at the airport waiting for my flight: “C – did you send that file? I didn’t get it. M”
 
Panic set in within a nanosecond. Where did that file go? Did I send it to someone else? Did I delete it? I had absolutely no way of finding out until I returned from this workshop, which would not be for two days. Energy rushed out of me faster than a tsunami. My stomach turned over, my hands started to shake, and of course, my constant companion – the stress headache – showed up right on time. Ugh.
 
Now, undoubtedly all of you can relate to this in your own way. Let me introduce another perspective. Instead of calling energy “energy,” let’s imagine that you’ve had a mystical experience – just like that – out of the blue. Let’s imagine that in the midst of your panic attack, a deep quietude came over you that you did not generate. It came out of nowhere. Suddenly your panic ceased. Gone. Your thoughts turn inward, tumbling effortlessly into what can only be described as “effortless bliss.” This effortless bliss is not a “state of consciousness” that exists in some new portal in your mind that your stress led you to in response to an inner 911 call. Effortless bliss is a sensation of floating, of feeling transcendent of not only your body but of your immediate problems which seem to disintegrate, if not disappear entirely. You feel as if you are breathing cosmic oxygen not of this earth that is recharging you all the way down to the atoms in your cell tissue.
 
In this rarefied soul air, you glimpse the refined truth that “energy” is the word we use for “grace,” prior to realizing the constant presence of the Sacred in our lives. Were we to grasp the true nature of life and the constant Divine impulse of creation that is God, we would recognize that what we refer to as “energy” is actually the manifestation of “working grace” expressing itself through ordinary life. But that realization changes everything for you because you then have to acknowledge that you are in constant contact with grace through every breath you take, in every activity of your life, and in every one of your daily encounters with people. You are never outside the field of “working grace.” It’s impossible, just as it’s impossible to exist outside the field of energy.
 
It can be overwhelming to reside in a state of consciousness in which you try to relate to the world as a theater of grace. You would have to adjust your sites to include within your view all the contradictions, injustices, and evil that exists in the world as these, too, are part of this field of grace. Grace does not make evil evaporate or injustice go away. It does not make your physical body impervious to illness. Grace does not and will never have the power to make life what life can never be, which is perfect. Rather, the role of grace is to expand your awareness of why life is as it is. Instead of suffering because you want life to be other than the way it is, you may experience a moment one day – perhaps one of your seven days – in which you are given great capacity to accept something you never thought you could accept in order that you can move on with your life.
 
The role of grace is to continually ignite our restlessness so that we never cease asking, “Why? What? and How?”
 
The Elevated Graces And Your Chakras

We learn from studying great spiritual teachers that this is an orderly universe, not a random one. And we are a part of this orderly universe. Your soul is a high-functioning cosmic piece of equipment that becomes more extraordinary the more you absorb yourself into its nature. Your soul cannot be managed by your ego. I learned with great appreciation that the soul is “entered into” through prayer. It is that part of you which is transcendent of your five senses, craves detachment from ordinary life, and constantly feeds you images that keep you curious about your own life and why you were given the gift of this life.
 
The chakra system is how the Eastern traditions represent the presence of the spirit/soul in the body. I call it the spirit/soul because the chakras are really more representative of the “sacred energy” system of the body without the addition of the graces. That is, “sacred energy” is not rooted in the idea of a personal Divine Being with whom you develop an intimate, prayerful relationship. That is far more a Western idea. Yet, both traditions come together in the understanding that we resonate to a sphere of seven sacred stages of inner refinement, seven chakras, seven mansions in the castle (St. Teresa), seven sacraments, seven levels of the Tree of Life, and seven graces. And now we are adding the intriguing thought that each year, we are given the gift of seven extraordinary days of grace in which each one of the seven major graces is individually bestowed upon us when “heaven sees fit,” as the nuns used to say.
 
I’ve outlined the chakras in partnership with a particular grace, just to provide you with an image or an idea of how such a union might express itself. Mind you, there are as many examples as there are stars in the heavens, but I wanted to plant an image in your mind to make this real for you.
 
 
 
First Chakra: Root/Tribal – The Graces Of Reverence and Owe
 
This is your physical life, which includes work, family, and the external world. This is the land of the unconscious, where you are prone to become an addict to time schedules, repeated activities, life pressures, and high stress. This is a world of pressure on your body and quite frankly, it’s where all life begins to break down. This is the first battlefield of life. If you were ever going to think, “My life is awful,” or “empty/boring/horrible/meaningless” or any other desperate description, this is the chakra-zone for it. This is the place for “hell on earth” and if ever you needed to become absorbed in the gift of being alive – just alive, without all the stuff attached to it – that is the essence of the grace of Reverence.
 
Prayer: “Just grant me the grace to feel grateful for my life and I’ll take it from there. Let me know you’re watching out for me.”
 
Second Chakra: Relationships - The Graces Of Piety and Mercy
 
This area of your body covers a lot of ground: sexuality, finances, power in all relationships, birth, creativity, destruction, vengeance, violence. It’s a busy chakra. This is a power center that can make or break the quality of your life given the issues that resonate to this center, to say the least. The grace of Piety does not refer to holiness, which is the classic understanding, but rather to your capacity to see the Divine in other people. It’s a rigorous effort at times – and maybe most of the time if you have a challenging work situation. But the opposite will break you in two. Mercy is a “saving grace,” literally and symbolically. Mercy saves you from your own dark thoughts and from personal anger. You may not imagine that you are capable of having “mercy on yourself,” but people do not realize how abusive they are to themselves when they harbor hostile thoughts or heavy memories that they could release.
 
Prayer: “Grant me the grace to see the goodness in others before I harm myself and them with negative thoughts. Let me do no harm to any life.”

Third Chakra: Personal Power – The Grace Of Understanding
 
This is your ego center. Need I say more? If you are an “All about Me” person, then you know this is a hot spot for you. You can get yourself into trouble from being over-sensitive or from feeling that you need to take care of everyone. This is also the place where we suffer the consequences of having low self-esteem, getting that knot in the stomach from nervous stress. This is the first place in the body that people generally lose their energy when things go wrong. First of all, the Grace of Understanding is not about being understood. It’s about being granted the capacity to “understand the greater sphere of truth” in a relationship or situation in which you find yourself. This is a magnificent grace. Imagine that you are in a situation in which you are endlessly worried about a relationship, thinking, “I must have done something,” or “How will I get by if this relationship doesn’t work out.” Then suddenly a soft calm comes over you, and you understand deeply, completely, that no matter what happens, you will be just fine. You don’t know how things will work out; you just know they will. That’s this grace in action.
 
Prayer: “Grant me the grace of Understanding in those times when I am gripped by chaos and cannot see the truth. Keep me from harming myself and others because I do not understand what is happening.”

Fourth Chakra: The Emotional Center - The Grace Of Fortitude and Healing

Obviously this is the chakra that absorbs all the emotional content of your life. Make no mistake – that is an enormous amount of content. From love, hopes and dreams and wishes, to despair and depression and anger – all of it resonates in this center. Oh, and let us not forget all memories of past injuries and injustices that you have yet to forgive. I’ve asked so many people if they dwell in positive or negative emotions most often, and so many admit to dwelling in negative emotions such as regret or sadness, guilt or grief. This can be the most difficult of all of your chakra centers, without a doubt. The Grace of Fortitude rightly belongs in this chakra because it takes profound courage to make the right emotional choices, both for you and for others. There is no such thing as emotional choices that do not hurt someone. (Well, there are of course, but not the ones that bring necessary change.) The Grace of Fortitude is courage beyond the boundaries of the moment. This grace refers to being granted the courage to not only take action but to handle the consequences of your necessary actions, which is what people so fear. Healing emerges from the courageous heart, not from someone who is frightened.
 
Prayer: “Grant me the grace to make the choices essential to my integrity and my healing.”
 
Fifth Chakra: The Throat Center - The Grace Of Counsel (and the more mysterious ‘speaking in tongues’)

This is your center of choice and all that choice implies. You would have to go into silence for a month to even begin to contemplate the enormity of this power. The number of choices we make per hour is unimaginable and each one has endless consequences. The Grace of Counsel is a prayerful request for Divine instruction. This is more than “guidance.” Counsel refers to intimate instruction in which you position yourself not to say no. This grace is also given to you on behalf of others, to counsel people when their lives are at a crossroads. Perhaps you have had the experience of suddenly knowing you must do something, no matter what. Or you must speak up about something, and along with that feeling comes a sense of urgency that is relentless. That is how this grace often expresses itself. It can be “relentless guidance.”
 
Prayer: “Grant me your Counsel when I am standing at the crossroads in my life. Push me to take the path I would otherwise not choose for lack of courage.”

Sixth Chaakra: The Mental Center - The Graces Of Knowledge and Prophecy
 
Knowledge refers to a sudden knowing of something you had no previous knowledge of whatsoever. Teresa of Avila referred to this as, “Intellectual revelation,” a granting of truth or intuitive understanding, or a vision that you could not possibly generate through the talents or skills of the mind. Knowledge and Prophecy are two of the graces that can and have caused problems for people. They are extremely powerful, but in societies in which the rational approach to life rules, revelation is anything but popular. Historically, people – mainly mystics – with this gift have had to defend their “revealed writings” rigorously in order to prove that they were not fabricating their documents, or they were not insane, or they were not possessed. The graces of Knowledge and Prophecy are high risk, but they are profound graces that are very present in ordinary people who are guided through their intuitive gifts all the time. These are not graces to be feared, but rather to be used with great wisdom.
 
Prayer: “Grant me the capacity to hold in silence that which I see and understand until it is time to reveal it. Give me the strength to withstand the power of a single vision.”
 
Seventh Chakra: The Spiritual Center - The Grace of Wisdom

If there was ever a time we needed Wisdom, it’s now. The spiritual life is full of distractions and chaos. It’s a simple path, actually, but it’s not an easy one. You are here to discern truth from fiction in your life and to follow truth. You are here to become fully mindful of the power of your choices because you are held accountable for your choices. With each choice you make, you either set a cycle of grace into motion or you withhold grace. It takes Wisdom to discern the right choice, but it also takes Fortitude, the courageous heart.
 
Prayer: “Grant me the Wisdom to think deeply about my choices, to not respond from anger, to think larger than my small self, and to include the other people in my decisions who will be affected by my choices.”
 
The Ultimate Truth

We can barely make it through a day without doing something we regret. I suspect if we could see things the way they really are, we would observe the nonphysical world intervening in our lives constantly, though in mysterious and curious ways. One day your life is saved from a colliding vehicle and the next day, you fall down the stairs and break your leg. There is no rhyme or reason to the ways of the heavens, at least not from where we stand. And there never will be. We can only look through the magnificent spiritual teachings of the masters and glean those insights that are consistent and universal, and patch together a cosmic quilt that makes sense to our soul.
 
We are meant to learn about the inner workings of our soul. That is a spiritual fact, not a religious one. We are governed by mystical laws that are consistent with the order of life and nature; again, not a religious fact but one that supports nature and life – and the Tao. And, by faith and observation, I believe that the graces are “bestowed” upon us in full measure at various times during the year. Perhaps it is less than twelve months, or more. I don’t know if heaven actually keeps a calendar. Maybe it’s more. But the cycle of seven is universal.
 
I believe we are meant to awaken to the graces that are resonating in our soul and so the power of those graces is allowed to do something magnificent in our lives seven times a year, once per grace. Further, I truly believe that once we know that grace, we can call it by name through prayer and it will pour forth endlessly.
