When you feel tension
It’s because you’re not feeling
The love you have for yourself.
Concentrate on your Heart Chakra
Until you notice a feeling of warmth.
Focusing on this feeling
Will increase the warmth,
Ease the tension,
And allow the feeling of love.

Many Earth Changes
The new energy that is being sent to your planet
Will create many Earth changes.
It will affect its geology,
Weather conditions,
And the consciousness of all spirit,
Whether in a physical body or not.

What you call ‘the planetary shift’
Is an increase in energy
Received by your planet at this time
Because you have asked for it.
It is to help you increase and expand your awareness,
And help you see and do things differently.
Meditation will help you to absorb this energy.

For those of you
Who don’t like change
In your life,
We remind you
You didn’t want everything
To be the same everyday.
You didn’t want everything
To smell, taste, and feel the same all the time.
You came here
To experience variety and contrast.

If you believe
Your journey is supposed to be
About suffering and lack,
It will be,
But it doesn’t have to be.
Your journey is not supposed to be about suffering and lack.
If you believe
Your journey is supposed to be
About sacrifice and hard work,
It will be,
But it doesn’t have to be.
It is not supposed to be about sacrifice and hard work.
If you believe
Your life needs to be difficult
In order for you to grow spiritually,
You will experience this,
But you don’t have to.
Your life is supposed to be about
Joy, and love, and happiness.
You are here to experience
The lightness of being.
You are here to experience
All the abundance
The Universe has to offer.
And you are here to experience
The ease and power of your creations.

Imagine you are like an attractive lamp
That gives a beautiful light
And has a shade that makes the light even more beautiful.
Your heart is like the light bulb,
The rest of your body is like the lampshade
And the love you truly are is the electricity.
The more attention you give
To the vibration of love you truly are,
The more radiant your heart becomes,
And the more radiant you become.
And this beautiful radiance
Has the power to illuminate
Whatever you choose
To give your attention to.
It really does.

You’ve heard the saying
“Getting there is half the fun”?
You knew that would be the case
When you chose physical reality.
Getting back home to spirit
Is half of the fun.
And being back home in spirit,
Appreciating your expansion
From your journey
Is the other half.
That is exactly what you planned
When you chose physical reality.

And rides that give you
Magnificent rushes of excitement and joy.

Welcome
Bob & Cynthia
Welcome to Ask The Council, a blog where you can ask a group of loving and wise spirit guides a question and get an answer, for free. You can also contact us for a paid private phone session with The Council, and you can read the questions other readers have asked and the answers they’ve received. Other posts contain quotations from The Council that we hope you find inspiring, uplifting, and educational.
Ask The Council a Question
If there’s a question you’ve been thinking about and you’re curious how The Council might answer it, we encourage you to either use the blog’s Comments feature to ask your question, or contact us for a private phone session. You can click here to go to the ‘Let us know what you think about this post, or ask The Council a question’ section of this Welcome post and type your question there or you can type your question in the same section at the bottom of any post that inspires you to ask a question or leave a comment.
Since the blog is currently a project we do in our spare time it can take a while for us to do a session with The Council on a question and then publish a post on the session. Depending on the question and the session it can sometimes take weeks after a question is asked to publish a post with The Council’s answer. Please be patient.
The Council
Cynthia is able to communicate with a group of five non-physical spirit guides in a manner similar to the way Esther Hicks communicates with and speaks for the spirit guides, Abraham, and Jane Roberts communicated and spoke for the spirit guide, Seth. I (Bob) basically interview The Council as they speak through Cynthia during what we refer to as a session. Sessions generally last 5-15 minutes and are usually audio recorded. During the session Cynthia is aware of what The Council is saying and she also receives visual impressions and other types of telepathic communication from them.
The Council’s Basic Guidance
Since we began these sessions with The Council around 2009 they consistently emphasize a few basic ideas that we attempt to summarize here:
1) You are an eternal spiritual being in a physical body.
You are the energy and vibration of continuously expanding love, intelligence, and joy.
Your physical experience in your physical body and your psychological experience of your personality is a small part of the totality of who you truly are.
Let yourself imagine from time to time what it might feel like to experience more of the wondrous totality of who you really are, and don’t be surprised if you are able to experience this more often.
2) You are the creator of all that you experience.
As you open to the possibility your true nature is greater than you ordinarily perceive, it becomes easier to consider the possibility that this expanded you is truly the creator of everything that you experience.
If you’re used to thinking of yourself in a more limited sense, the idea that you are the creator of your experience may be difficult to understand. Our post, What About This Idea That We Create Whatever We Desire, offers insights into this idea.
3) You are here to expand the love you are into physical reality.
You chose, as a spiritual being, to come into this physical reality to experience the joy of expanding the love you are as a spiritual being, into this physical reality. This is your purpose for being here.
Finding Your Way Around the Blog
Home Page
The left-hand column on the Home page contain a long chronological series of posts with the most recent on top. Each post begins with a title. Clicking on a post title will take you to a blog page dedicated to that particular post. Following each post is a Like button where you can indicate to us and other readers if you like the post.
The footer section of each post identifies the date the post was published, the Categories the post has been assigned to, the keyword/keyphrase Tags assigned to the post, and a Comment link. If readers comments on a post, the Comments link will indicate the number of comments. If a post has no comments yet, the Comment link text appears as “Leave a Comment”.
Clicking on the Comments link takes you to a Comment text box on a post page dedicated to that post. Here you can type a comment in the text box and click the Post Comment button to have your comment displayed just below the text box. If you are replying to someone else’s comment, your comment will appear indented underneath the comment you are replying to.
At the bottom of the left column on the Home page is a ‘Previous Entries’ link that will take you to a page with a list of earlier posts.
Blog Features
The right-hand column of most blog pages contains this Welcome message. Below the Welcome message in the right-hand column are some useful features:
Email Subscription: Use this to subscribe to blog posts. You will receive an email notification with a link back to the blog each time a new post is published.
Search: Type a keyword or phrase and click the Search button to get a list of posts in the left column that contain the keyword or phrase.

The Contact Us form can be used for communicating with us about private sessions or other private matters you think aren’t appropriate for posting in a public Comment.
