Intensity, Discombobulation, Unexplained Symptoms

The opening commentary is offered by Michele Mayama:


Every once in awhile a strong theme emerges as I work with clients as
well as my own processes. The last 10 days have had such a theme and I
am prompted to write, both to inform and to assure and coach those who
may be experiencing some unexplained symptoms.

First, some context:

When we are born, our soul begins the descent into our body.
Immediately, we begin to sense whether or not the body and the
environment/emotional energy field is warm and welcoming. Since our
soul would find it extremely challenging if most of it came in when we
were tiny and uncoordinated, we come into our bodies in increments.
The aspect of our soul that comes in between Birth and 4-5 months
activates the Root Chakra. Another increment works its way in between
4-5 months and age 2, activating and evolving the Pelvic Chakra, etc.
The Crown Chakra is not fully evolved and activated until the
increment that shows up around age 29-30.

Early in our lives, most of us sensed that there was a lack of
resonance between our soul's nature and the environment we were born
into. If we came in and then had difficulty being here within the old
structures of duality, some part of us left again. We may have either
gone back up through the Crown to the Higher Self or out what I call
the "back door". This back door is an opening at the base of the skull
that only opens as a soul leaves during the first two years of life.
After that, there is less danger of our soul separating from our body
so we typically leave through the Crown.

Over the past few months I have felt the New Field strengthening, and
have sensed a coming shift into greater manifestation. Worth noting is
that it seems we cannot move into collaborative creation if we are not
more fully embodied. What has been happening the past 10 days is a
larger influx of Soul, a kind of collective jumping into the Living
Field.

If you have felt pressure in or on top of your head, discombobulation,
pressure or pain in the back of your neck, a sense of intensifying
anxiety or mental chatter, sleep disturbances, or a feeling of wanting
to give up.....these and perhaps other symptoms seem to be related to
the pushing of the soul to either return or come in at this time.
Sometimes there are old resistant protective structures that are
making it harder. Some have old fears of what they remember it felt
like when more of their Essence was here in older duality times.
However, what may have been created to survive in the old story is no
longer relevant. Those things are non-Essential and can not weave into
our soul's creation of who we are within the new Living Field.

I offer my assurance to each of you that you can relax. Trust that
your soul knows that the time is now and that the Living Field is
Real. You are welcomed into your greater life, into Soul Fulfillment
while embodied. Certain frequencies of Light can help your process of
further embodiment. Surround yourself with the warm Rose light of
Love. Ask to release the old structures, and allow the Love to find
and soften those old structure. Ask for Blue-Violet frequencies of
Light to dissolve those structures that are inhibiting your soul's
entrance. You may also wish to use Violet to clear out old emotional
imprinting from the past and Blue to clear old conclusions or beliefs
about yourself.

Your soul knows how to descend into your body, it is a natural
process. More may be coming in than you have needed or experienced in
the past since more of your Essence is required to merge within matter
so that you can synchronize with the Organic Wisdom of Living Light.
As more of your soul merges, your core becomes stronger and most
people feel calmer and less affected by anything or anyone external.
If you are feeling pressure such as I have described, set aside some
time to invite and allow this process.

If you feel a need for some additional support, I will add some
incarnational coaching to the next Tuesday Tune-up on Oct. 23rd. We
will also include some synchronizing with the manifestation currents
within the Living Field.

I realize that sometimes I slip into teacher mode when I offer these
explanations, but the bottom line is that each of us is now bringing
in more of our soul for being more visibly present and creative in the
New Field. So come on down! Come down and in, or forward and in. We
have been waiting for this invitation for lifetimes. The Living Field
of Light and Love is here and so are we! Three cheers!

Michele

The remainder of this update is the usual whoop dee do from
Chris......

Since Michele kicked things off this time, I'll (try to) be
conservative with my verbage. However, I DO have to let you know what
a KICK it was to sit and talk at last Saturday's channeling with the
lively being that was Ben Franklin. What great entertainment. There is
such a difference in personality among all the visitors that come for
these channelings. They may all be speaking through Michele's vocal
cords, but they clearly transmit their own energies and expressions.
This old soul was highly creative in life, and it was clear how
inspired his lives have been as he spoke of how much he loved being
human. An interesting tidbit that he shared with us was that he also
lived a life of another person we knew of: Buckminster Fuller. Did you
catch the initials of the names? And can you see what creative and
inspirational energy was present with us? It was just very cool.

One thing I noticed during the evening was how my perception changed
when I learned of the two personalities. I have known that we
reincarnate, but a shift occurred for me when I found myself talking
to someone for whom I could no longer attach a specific definition.
The sense of the soul continuing, creating and growing through many
lives suddenly struck me as something more than a point of dogma or
spiritual belief. Because I could not hold just one definition of this
soul (expressing as Ben Franklin), I gave up the definition and began
relating to the being as a great, wise soul and aspect of creation. At
the same time, this experience caused me to move beyond my own limited
definition of myself as Chris LaFontaine. It was freeing in an odd and
unexpected way.

By the end of the evening, I once again was reminded that these
channelings are not about just interesting information or talking to
historical figures. In some way these sessions are all powerfully
transformative, whether through guided processes that are shared, or
by sheer energetic presence and a kind of osmosis that happens.
Through these evenings, a great story is being told by players who
have had significant roles. It is our story, and as this leg of the
journey comes to an end, we can reflect on what has been, and what we
have accomplished through it all.

We see, and it is good.

BTW, "Franklin" talked about the state of our country (U.S.A). He
assured us that all was well, despite any surface appearances. Here is
a brief excerpt:

"I came to assure you that even though you have fears at times about
the unfolding of this nation and this nation's experience within the
world, that the structure that was grounded into the foundation here
still holds. Freedom and democracy will continue in this land. There
are many who perhaps do not understand what that means. They have
grown confused by their own basic power desires. There were those in
my time that had desires for power, too, but they were willing and
able to put the greater good in front of those desires."

" There were those of us who decided that if there was someone who
would put ahead their own agenda in front of the greater good, then
the structures that we were putting in place would begin to not only
make it uncomfortable for them, but there would be a sort of added
karma, you might say. That was our part. We could weave it in, and we
did. Therefore, those who have served in particular positions within
the three arms of government, and have put their own agendas ahead of
the common good have a little extra to deal with once they leave this
experience, or even before. So, you can rest assured."

"The other thing that you perhaps would like to know is that this time
of the transformation of consciousness, which you are all engaged in,
IS the revolution of this age, as my compatriot Thomas Jefferson, who
I greatly respect, said when he came to visit with you."

All sounds wonderful to me.......

Advanced Practitioner Courses begin This Month!

Michele has created a new series where she can facilitate deeper, more
practical and experiential courses for those working in the
energetic/inituitive fields of healing. Instead of one long course
like the Chakra course, Michele has split up the focal areas into
modules, each one consisting of two classes. The first class of each
module will focus on the principals and beginning to learn the
methods. The second focuses on reporting the experiences of working
with clients, specific support for individual soul designs, and
deepening the practice.

Four modules are ready to go, and more are possible. The prerequisite
is previous attendance at the chakra series or comparable background.
All modules are held on Saturdays.

Module I: October 27th and November 17th
Module II: January 19th and February 16th
Module III: March 15th and April 19th
Module IV: June 21st and July 19th

Magnetizing, Manifesting, Abundance

(Warning: Wordiness Ahead)

Magnetizing, Manifesting, Abundance

Right off, I will tell you that I use these three words with some
resistance, for a couple reasons. One is that they have become
overused to the point of hype. The second is that a number of
definitions are perceived depending on ones point of view. On the
other hand, if I don't use the hot button words of the day when
writing about what we offer at Lightsmith, I may refer to other
concepts that sometimes cause people to go "huh?". "New Matrix" would
be one of those attempts to describe something for which few words
exist. "Living Field" is another. It's all about consciousness, yet I
even shy away from that word because of its own long list of
interpretations. It can be difficult to talk about something so new
that we have little reference for it, and yet that is what we
regularly must do in order to entice you to at some point actually
experience what we're talking about.

So, today I'd like to talk about becoming magnetic and manifesting
abundance into your life. Okay, I'm playing with you a little bit, and
I'm sure somebody somewhere is right now hosting a seminar with that
title. Hey, one day soon it will probably be me, given the sweeping
desire for "abundance" among a community of people super-tired of deep
personal processes and seemingly endless transition and
transformation. Ah, you probably don't know what I'm talking about.

Wait, you do? Well then, I can comfortably move along to my next
point. Virtually everything Lightsmith brings forth includes
supporting your journey toward becoming powerfully magnetic and
manifesting abundance in your life. And much more. We just haven't
named it by those terms, mostly for a a few pet reasons (see paragraph
one). Instead, we like to talk about MAMA. Hold on...oh my gosh, could
that be code for Magnetic and Manifesting Abundance?! Who knew?

Guess it's our SECRET.

In practice, we're advocates for the feminine. Both the restoration of
the true feminine in our awareness, and a more feminine approach
(experiential, receptive, and fluid) to what we teach and share. In
fact, we bring her to you quite directly at times in the form of the
Earth Mother, Mother Mary or the Mother of Creation, to name a few. We
also make events and sessions available, both personal and group,
utilizing the deeply feminine approach of the powerfully feminine
Michele Mayama. Anyone who has done any work with Michele understands
how it works. The feminine approach to transformation isn't easily
explained, but it is potent, direct, experiential, effective, and
works at core levels of consciousness structures. In my view,
embodiment of the feminine is a necessary component of transformation,
and failure to integrate this long-supressed aspect of self results in
an inability to shift into the New Reality.

Perhaps we are attracted to seminars on manifestation or abundance
because we feel fear or lack. In those times we may be attempting to
manipulate material reality to satisfy a perceived need, usually with
a desire to create a specific outcome. I get that. My view is also
that some of the manifestation techniques taught over the years may
have worked within the reality in which they were created, but I would
suggest that the New Reality has a different operating system.

When it comes to manifestation, the Feminine does not come from an
externalized perception of what is missing and then try to affirm,
feel, or believe its way into filling that void. Instead, the Feminine
moves into connection with the Soul and the soul's partnership with
Life and the Living Field. It acknowledges what is of Essence, and
sorts through what was created in the old story of separation
(Duality). Through this process, what can be transformed becomes
conscious and there is a clarification of desire. The true desire of
the soul can then easily partner with the magnetism of Life to create
abundant fulfillment. I know this last bit may knot your brain (or may
not?), but read it again and see if it makes sense.

Most of you on this mailing list have done a good deal of personal
transformative work. Okay, now what? Perhaps the next step is truly
saying goodbye to the reality we came to transform beyond. Why would
you want to stay? It is a choice, of course, whether or not to leave
the past behind, even one as painful as we have known in Duality. Yet,
sometimes the familiarity of the painful known seems to bind us,
delaying our step into the freedom and vastness of the unknown.
Anybody who has left a personal relationship probably understands
being in this place and the challenges of moving on. You might also
have experienced what happens when you finally did let go and found
yourself in a place better than you ever imagined.

I have written all of this because our current focus is exactly this:
Magnetizing and Manifesting Abundance. MAMA. This is our current theme
based on what has been showing up lately. Increasing our magnetism was
also the focus of our last Earth Mother channeling on September 24th.
She was in classic form, and those who were here all had an
opportunity to interact directly with her, as well as participate in a
process to increase magnetization and connection to the Life Force.
Being in your body and hooked up to the planet is a prerequisite for
creating in the New Field. Much of what we do at Lightsmith is
designed to clear and transform the chakras, assist people to come
more fully into their bodies, and guide the process of hooking up the
connections to this new structure of consciousness. Along the way
there is usually process, and we assist with that, too.

Bottom line: personal transformation involves structural change at
varying levels of consciousness (there's that "C" word). It means that
if you want your life to change you have to change at the levels from
which you are creating your experiences. I know this idea messes with
the mind's idea of its omnipotent, everything's under control self,
but so be it. From what I've observed, once the mind discovers that it
gets to relax in the New Field it eventually does start to release its
resistance. Not usually without some tantrums, though.

We who have been the transformers have achieved (in cooperation with
the Earth and with lots of help from Spirit) what we came here to do:
enter deeply into a structure of consciousness, disassemble it and
assist the creation of something new. That new structure can not be
easily explained, for it is profoundly experiential. It can be
experienced, though, and within it are the keys for the manifestation
and fulfillment of the soul's deepest desires.

This month we focus on Manifestation and Abundance. Below are short
summaries of our scheduled events. We invite you to participate with
us in continuing to open, release, heal, transform, restructure,
change, and enter into the New Reality. It's here now and it's readily
available and accessible. Hop in.

Here's to a brilliant October,

Chris
