Big Changes Are Coming

This post contains an edited transcript of a half-hour private telephone session between The Council and a reader named Todd. Todd has graciously permitted us to make this session available to our readers because we feel the guidance offered will be helpful to many.

This is not the first private session with Todd that he has allowed us to make public. If you find the guidance in this session helpful, it would be nice if you could leave Todd a comment to that effect in the Comment box below to let him know.

Council: At this time in your reality, many people are going through this, where they can not believe what’s happening to some people, what they’re hearing in their head that makes them go out and attack people on the street, or shoot people for no reason.

The energy, it will swing back to where it’s not so crazy. But right now, what is also happening is that so many people are trying to shift upwards. New energy is coming in, and one of the ways that you can realize it’s going on here is that #1, you don’t understand anything anymore. Your body will experience pains. A lot of people can’t breathe properly right now. There are headaches. This is all because something new, much lighter, much happier, is trying to come in. You’re trying to evolve.

But because of where we are with everything going on around us, the body can not handle this downloading of new energy, so it is such a confusing time for people. It’s frightening. And we can always say, the thing you are here for is to come in and bring that light in now. We all agreed to this. We knew all of this was going to happen, and we jumped in saying, “Okay, I’m going to help bring it back.” And then when you get here, it’s overwhelming.

This stage now, you are not the only one feeling like this. And we ask you to find things every day, even if it’s one thing to do that brings you joy, because that vibration of joy and happiness goes out there and hits the whole reality you’re in. And more souls will feel it, so they will look for something that brings in joy. And that’s how we erase, or sort of change the mess that is going on right now. But know that there will be a turning point.

But as a spirit, before you came in, the thought was, “I can handle this. I know what I have to do.” And that is wonderful. And we would say, we have been seeing more people are taking on the practice of, every morning and every night, making a list of whatever they can think of that they were grateful for that day. And the more things you can find to be grateful for, of course, you know the way the energy works, you will find even more things to be grateful for.

So in the midst of this craziness that is going on, very soon there will be proof that there are what people call aliens here. Of course they’re here, and it is a good thing. Also, if it comes up in your conversations, people are afraid, “Oh, aliens. They’re going to take over.” No. They’re here to save us from blowing ourselves up. That’s why they’re going to be… within two years you’re going to have proof.

There will be conversations with people who come forward. You have already passed some. You are in a place where your vibration, because it’s really so high, you are in spirit mode, ready for the connection with these forms from other star systems. You have passed them several times during the day. And that is so your vibration is letting it in, is accepting it, because their vibration is very different. So you will be one of the first that will have a siting and will be able to talk. Even in a dream, what they call aliens know of you. They know of the people who are open and accepting, and not fear-based.

So you’re really going in a very new direction, and you will get information when the time comes on ways to feel better about this. You’re body, which would be a little wacky right now, do not let this frighten you. It’s just that this old vibration in the body is trying to change, and it just doesn’t know how to handle it.

So everything takes time. When you think of this whole reality, all at once everything is trying to change. The weather, the people, their bodies, their thoughts, everything is sort of upside down right now. So it’s kind of hard to hold onto the light, but that’s what you said you would do when you got here, and when you got to this point. And when there is the communication with the other life forms, a lot of peace will come with that, even though many people are afraid of it. So it’s going slowly in the right direction.

And what you can do, we find, in the evening is the best time to picture a waterfall outside your body, starting at your head and coming down all around you, to clear the energy in the different levels of your aura. You can picture a waterfall inside your head. You can picture it coming down through every part of your body, washing out the negativity, bringing in new energy. It’s a clearing out that’s really needed every night because of what is going on in this reality. It’s like you constantly have to clear it out, and then constantly think of a good thought, and how you see your world evolving into what you want.

And just know that you have the power. Nothing has changed. You have the power to change this reality. You didn’t lose it in all this chaos. It’s there, but you have to work also bringing in the new energy, getting rid of the negativity. Watch the people that you’re with. Do you talk too negatively? Do you talk too much about worrying about this or that? And when you see that, it’s part of humanity. You change it. You catch the thoughts and you change it. And you really have to hang on to the good that is here, and more that will come. There are big, big changes to come, and they will all be good. Actually, it won’t go back; it’ll get better.

And so in the spirit world, we also are working very hard to connect with everyone, to connect with your realities and make it better for you, but are you open to it? Always know we are here. We are here to help you evolve. As you evolve, we also evolve. So there is always changing. There is always growth. There is no ending to the wonderful limits that we thought were here. The way you think of it is, you’re in a good place, but these limits that you think are here, even if they feel good, there are no limits. You will get rid of them. It will change. Everything will change, and you will start feeling it in your body.

So as we’ve said before, so many people are not well right now, and don’t know what the heck happened. You know, they used to feel great, they used to do this, they used to do that. It’s just your body is like, “I don’t know what this new stuff is coming in. I don’t feel good. It hurts. I have headaches. I have aches in my body. The pressure is wrong. The sugar in my body is wrong. I used to eat this. I can’t eat this anymore.” Everything in the body is changing.

And you will begin to see little twinkles of light, which are spirits that are around. You will be able to see different shades of colors that weren’t available before. So you will begin to see little things. You will hear things like, “Did I just hear a voice? I’m alone in this room.” All your faculties, the whole body is changing, even though it may feel painful, or you don’t know what the heck is going on. It’s all good.

But be aware, when you think you hear someone call your name, or you hear a strange word, or you know, “I saw these colors out of the side of my eye. I saw a shadow moving.” Because you’re beginning to see other spirits. It’s all good. Some people will be so upset when this happens, and yet we say, just go with it. There’s no harm coming. Nothing bad will happen. This is all about big changes coming that we are open to and that we want.

So with the pressure, you know you can do that breathing where you breathe in for the count of eight, hold your breath to the count of four, and then breathe out for a count of eight. That brings the blood pressure down. You can help with your diet. More sleep is good, and walking is good. Anything that you enjoy sort of pushes you in the right direction. So look for funny things. Look for things that make you happy. And that’s the way you get through this.

The very, very best thing you can eat – and we know many people don’t like it – for your blood pressure, for your heart, for your stomach, for your brain, for everything that goes on for your brain – are beets. If you can eat beets, you’re on your way to feeling really great. That’s going to correct everything. Yes.

And know that eventually you will have proof that there are other people from realities, we would say people from realities that show up here, and it’s good. It is a good thing. Keep that thought. They will bring higher energies with them. They will bring things to teach us, to save this planet, and how to stop a lot of this chaos that is going on. They are coming in now because it has gotten so bad. They have always been here, but it will come where people will actually see them and will hear what they have to say. It’s a wonderful time.

And so when you walk down the street, look at the people, the strangers that pass you, and just tell yourself, that’s a spirit, and that should make you feel good. All these people around you, we’re all spirits. We’re all here for the same reason. It’s a wonderful thing, and that will lift your energy. It’s not just another body passing by. It’s a spirit who, like you, said, “I’m going to jump in.” We’re not here to destroy it. Everybody who jumped in said, “Okay, when it gets bad, I’m going to hold that light. I’m going to do everything to change it.” And then, as you live your life, you make your choices.

Who can do it? Who’s strong enough to somehow remember, or just to say, this is not what I like. I want my world to be the way it was, or even better. But as you walk down, or are on a bus, or a train, or a plane, and you just look at these strangers, and you smile to yourself, “Hey, we all know each other. We all said, “Yep, we’re coming in.” And bless them. In your mind bless them that they are strong enough to hold on to their light, and you’re all helping each other. It’s a wonderful thing.

Todd: Oh, okay. I will certainly do that when I am out and about today I certainly will do that.

Council: You will feel a difference when you look at somebody and you think like that. You’re going to feel differently.

Todd: Okay. No, that makes perfect sense.

And I want to let go of the fear that the United States will become a fascist state or a dictatorship. And that we’re not, as a collective consciousness in our country, going to let that happen. And thank God we have the courts to kind of help us out, and protests.

Council: Exactly. You always have a choice. And even if the choice starts just in your mind, those thoughts go out into the universe, and it will get better.

Todd: Okay, I trust that it will get better, Council, and that we will come up even higher.

Council: Definitely.

Todd: Thank you. I really appreciate your reassurance.

Council: We enjoy talking to you. And we see how you advance, and we saw today in the beginning of this call that there was so much dark energy around, and it’s already changing. So keep the good thoughts.

Todd: Okay. Thank you. I really appreciate your help.

Council: We would like to say that, in case it didn’t come into your thoughts, when we have these sessions, they are very powerful. And when they are put out for others to read it, or hear it, you are fulfilling your wish before you came into this life, to be a teacher of humanity in some small way, and you are fulfilling that.

Todd: Thanks.

How Can I Learn To Channel And Talk To Spirits?

This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Leah.

Leah: Hi, I have a question for Cynthia. I want to learn how to channel…

Council: (Laughs) Should we step out of the way? And so because we are part of Cynthia, we would like to hear the question, and we will have an answer.

Leah: …and talk to spirits. How can I start easing myself into this, and what are the initial steps or process?

Council: The first thing is you must learn to sit still. You must learn to meditate. Whether it’s having a picture in your mind that makes you feel good, whether it’s sitting there and saying over and over, “I am at peace,” and just see what shows up behind your eyelids. Eventually you’ll begin to get pictures. You’ll get ideas. But the discipline is to have the strength to sit quietly every day. They always say it’s best to sit at the same time so your body gets used to this, but we would advise any time you have free time for at least ten minutes to sit and meditate, to take it no matter what time of the day it is.

We can tell you that when Cynthia tried to learn to meditate, it took her three years to learn how to do it, and it was the discipline. When spirit sees the discipline, from our side we try very hard to come through to you. You have the discipline to sit and speak to us with your eyes closed if you like, and just as if we are already there, which of course we are, and have a conversation with us.

Sit quietly. Sooner or later with this discipline you will get an idea. You will hear words in your head, and you will feel a feeling of lightness in your body where the chakras are now open and bringing in the energy for you to let the spirit energy, which is very high, come into the body. So we would say, have the quiet time. Sit at a computer and type a question. “Hey spirit, are you there? Let me know.” See what happens. You may hear a word that makes no sense. “Peanut.” All right, spirit, I heard the word, peanut. Tell me more. And every day keep asking. Keep asking, and expect that answer to come, and it will.

So when you begin to meditate, the body begins to let in a higher energy. It’s good to work on the chakras. But once that happens, you will connect in your own way to spirit. You can hear words in your head. You might see pictures instead of words. You may have what we call the great knowing, where all of a sudden you have this information about something and you know the whole thing. It’s not sentence by sentence. You just know.

And you can write a question on your computer, or with a pad and pencil. And you do not need someone there to give you the answer. Write it down. Type it in the computer. And meditate, and the answer will come. You will write down an answer or type an answer, and keep doing it, whether it makes sense or not. It can be gibberish, but sooner or later it will become clear, one word at a time, one image at a time. And that is how you’ll connect with spirits. That’s when you’ll begin to channel – when you know and have the feeling, and you believe it’s there. That’s when you’ll begin to channel.

Leah: I’m alone and don’t have anyone to ask me questions, like Bob.

Council: It’s not necessary.

Leah: How can I start to talk back and forth with my spirit guides?

Council: Meditate. Think in your head, ask a question in your head, and sit, and wait. Next day try again, and again, and again. Write it down. Try writing. Try typing a question. Just keep doing it, knowing you are opening a path to connect with your spirits. When you have the discipline to do this daily, it will come. We promise you, it will come. And so we send you love, and we send everyone happy feelings. Enjoy the day. Enjoy your life. Be grateful. Be happy. Think of things you’ve done that brought you joy. Imagine things you can do that bring you joy, and then move forward.

Listen to the entire 6-minute audio recording of our session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for Leah and the rest of us, and let us know what you feel about it.

You can also ask The Council your own question by typing it into one of the Comment boxes that appear at the bottom of most of our blog pages, and we’ll publish an audio recording of their response as soon as we have time.

Or if you prefer to have a private half-hour telephone conversation with The Council, you can pay us $60 by clicking on this link. When we receive your payment, we’ll email you to arrange a mutually convenient day and time for your phone call and questions.

Who Am I and Where Am I From?

This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Donna, who asks, who am I and where am I from?

The Council says you’ve come from the star system, Pleiades, and many like you who are here from this star system don’t know it.

Pleiadians are here to teach and guide other people to evolve, they have a peaceful nature, and their are millions of them on Earth.

The  careers of all of Pleiadians on Earth are in the healing fields, counseling, and people working with energy. They can heal you by the way they talk to you, by the guidance they give you, and by the touch of their hand. Pleiadians were also guides to people in Atlantis and Lemuria.

Pleiadians easily connect with other people, animals, and plants. This is part of their gift because they’re evolved. They need to be around nature and don’t like to be in big groups. They are more quiet and like to deal with people one on one. Many Pleiadians are disappointed because they can’t seem to do what they intended in their physical bodies.

The reason Donna has chosen to incarnate on Earth at this time is to help the people around her. Her interest in the Pleiadians brings her closer to the calm, healing energy and the light she’s here to share with others, even if it doesn’t wake her up to her mission in this lifetime. This is a beautiful purpose for being here and if she hasn’t done this yet, this will strike a chord within her, and she’ll start looking at and connecting with people, animals, and plants differently.

Donna mentions that her energy healer says she’s not from Pleiades and The Council laughs and asks her to choose which way she wants to believe. And The Council adds that it’s okay whether or not she believes them.

Find the softness, the love,  and the light within you and shine it on other people. You teach other people to be giving and loving by the way you speak and act. This is the purpose of all Pleiadians. You’re here to guide us, help us evolve and feel peaceful, and help us connect with our higher energy.

You’re also here to take care of yourself. And as you do this, you’ll find others who wish to take care of themselves and are looking for answers. The more you connect to this – if it hasn’t happened already – you’ll find more and more people coming to you for guidance and help.

It’s good to read about the Pleiadians and their work on this planet, as well as the Sirians, Arcturians, and people from other star systems who have come to Earth. Read about Atlantis and Lemuria and how the people from the Pleiades guided and taught the people in these times. The book, Starseed Transmissions, by Ken Carey will be helpful. As you read, your knowledge will increase and you’ll find yourself on a path that helps and enlightens others.

The Council closes by wishing joy to everyone on their journeys. And they ask us to always search for more questions and answers to help us grow and bring us along on our path, and help us bring the love that’s in spirit into the Earth path, which is the purpose for all of us.

Listen to the entire 10-minute audio recording of our session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for Donna and the rest of us, and let us know what you feel about it.
