“There may be times in which you grow very weary of all the changes in your life, and yet it is all for you and your evolution. Take a moment when you feel this weariness, disheartened loss or anger and focus on one small thing of Beauty.
It could be a child, a flower, a bird or your pet. It could shift things just by stepping outside. Look up at the stars and the moon and notice how you feel.
How you feel is how you create your life.”

Ancient traditions knew of the gifts of this tiny area of the brain. Early cultures knew that the pineal played a role in spiritual development and communication with spiritual beings. It is thought that this gland is the seat of the human soul! David Wilcock and others report on the abilities of this incredible gland and its key role in our great consciousness awakening.
“A few years ago I made a decision to “spring clean” my mind on a regular basis. Unless we are holy monks or enlightened, most of us have patterns of thinking and habits that clutter our minds and interfere with our sense of well-being.
Which tools can I use?
There are many methods of healing emotional issues or releasing patterns that limit the expression of our fullest potential. Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), cognitive behavioral therapy, hypnotherapy, and mindfulness are a few examples.
My daily practice preference is mindful living, as it blends well with psychology because both sciences encourage being observant of our thoughts and emotions without judging and thinking in new ways.
Four years ago, I signed up for eight weeks of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT), which helped me to start releasing habits and patterns of thinking that were creating anxiety. I experienced an unexpected hearing loss that year, and this triggered a sense of fear that would suddenly flare up. The therapist found that I had a positive mindset, but working with a therapist added clarity to my understanding of my emotional blocks and gave me the motivation to be proactive with my internal changes.
Steps to declutter the mind:
Just as we may get rid of clutter every spring by cleaning our closets and home to let in air, freshness, and new beginnings, the following six steps are helpful in decluttering and renewing our minds:
1. Forgive and let go of resentments.
We have heard of the power of forgiveness, but it’s worth repeating: Clinging to negative thoughts and feelings over something that happened 20 years ago affects the health of the body. The mind and body are connected. Stomach issues are a good example. When we experience ongoing anxiety due to negative thinking or too much stress, the stomach often produces excess acid.
2. Release emotions.
Cry and let your emotions out (without dumping them on others). After releasing your feelings, don’t awfulize — think of worst-case scenarios. The mind is powerful; what we believe, we become. Expecting and visualizing the worst is a misuse of imagination.
Being open to solutions, using affirmations in the present tense, such as “I am healed,” “I am empowered,” and “I have clarity of mind,” helps to move your focus away from the limitations of a negative frame of mind.
3. Take a break from the news.
Take a break from the news and bombarding your mind and energy with negativity, and instead, fill your space (and mind) with music, hobbies, and media programs that uplift you.
Watching negative news is not good for emotional health or creativity. Studies by a British psychologist, Dr. Graham Davey, who specializes in the psychological effects of media violence, have shown that consuming negative news may contribute to the tendency to catastrophize, and the development of stress, anxiety and depression.
However, if you feel the need to watch the news so you can be aware of what is going on in the world and help, then look at the news consciously, with a sense of purpose and spiritual awareness. Once there is understanding that what is going on in the world is a reflection of the mass consciousness of humanity, it becomes a spiritual opportunity to observe our reactions and see wherein we need to do inner-work so we can better contribute to the world by our evolution and healing. As Gandhi said: “Be the change you wish to see in the world.”
4. Don’t take life for granted.
Life is a gift, and we live in alignment with creation when we use life in a way that honors the planet, all living creatures, and ourselves. See all sentient beings as sacred expressions of creation. How can it be otherwise? We all share the same life force that animates our bodies, but we all express this energy uniquely by the choices we make.
When we learn to live with reverence for life, we obtain an almost mystical connection to the wonders of the universe and a profound sense of gratitude for the blessings in our lives.
5. Take a break from the noise in your head.
In the busiest of households, it’s important to carve a little space and time to be by ourselves. It can be in nature, a chapel, a particular spot in your home such as the bathroom, or even the car. What is important is to find the time to be silent mentally, watching your breath flow in and out serenely. In the silence, you will touch a deeper level of your being that knows only peace.
Being silent affects the health of our brains because we shift from the left side of our brain, which controls linear thinking, to the right side, which is the intuitive, creative, and relaxed side of the brain.
6. Above all, look at love as a state of being.
Love is misunderstood to be an emotion; actually, it is a state of awareness, a way of being in the world, a way of seeing oneself and others. – Dr. David R. Hawkins
We do not need to feel the emotion of love as when we feel love for our life partner, a child, or a pet. Instead, by keeping our hearts open and embodying compassion, empathy, grace, and joy, we spiritually and emotionally encourage balanced interactions with the world.
These steps, when applied consistently, will help to lighten the energy of our minds and hearts, and will contribute in shifting our perceptions from fear to seeing the universe as friendly, expansive, and supportive of our journey.”

“Accidents happen because they do. Certain elements of the life process have come together in a particular way at a particular time, with particular results –results which you choose to call unfortunate, for you own particular reasons. Yet they may not be unfortunate at all, given the agenda of your soul.
I tell you this: There is no coincidence, and nothing happens ‘by accident’. Each event and adventure is called to your Self by your Self in order that you might create and experience Who You Really 
Are. All true Masters know this.
That is why mystic Masters remain unperturbed in the face of the worse experiences of life (as you would define them.)”
Neale Donald Walsch, “Conversations With God, Book 1.”

“Greetings. We are the Arcturian Council. We are pleased to connect with all of you.
It takes a certain amount of sensitivity to awaken. You cannot just awaken in your mind. You must also awaken with your senses, your feelings, and sensitivity is a big part of the awakening process. If you do not know how you feel, how would you know when something is resonating with you? How would you be able to access the emotion of love? Your sensitivity is a strength, and it comes with a side effect. That side effect is that you also can feel more pain.
We are living in a dualistic universe where there are certain polarities, and you are beings that have been operating within a great deal of polarity. What that means is that you can go very far in either direction on a spectrum. The more pain you can feel, the more love. The more love you can feel, the more fear. And so, if you are afraid of feeling anything, then you are dumbing down your sensitivity to feel everything, and that simply is not going to work for those of you who are awakened.
That’s why you chose to be the sensitive ones before you incarnated. You chose to have deep feelings and big feelings, and some of you chose to ignore them for most of your lives, others chose to drown to alcohol, or numb them with drugs, but eventually, you came to this place where you are now. You are at a place where you can not only feel your emotions, but you also understand the strength and the power that you have access to because of them.
By accessing your emotions, you become better at offering vibrations, and when you become better at offering vibrations, you become better creators. And when you can sit with all feelings inside of you, and be at peace, at one with everything and everyone, then you will know that you have in fact become your higher self. And you will know in those moments that you have set foot in the fifth dimension.
We are the Arcturian Council, and we have enjoyed connecting with you.” danielscranton.com
