We are on a different grid system now so if you are feeling as if things have changed, this is why. While the old system is still visible to us, this new grid has different rules, which we are in the process of learning about and getting used to.

As we separate from the old we’re reminded to keep our boundaries strong. We’re adapting to the new energy, the new space, the sense of peace and purity and expansiveness, the beauty. Yet we are still interacting with the old world and its nonproductive patterns of disrespect, taking advantage, negativity and so on. And we are going to be shown where we need to be clear with boundaries and our new wishes and our new way of being. This is what is especially coming up for many this last week.

Dragon energy at sunset reminding us to keep our boundaries strong.

I had experiences with a couple of people. A neighbor who lives about a mile away asked me on short notice if I could take care of their dog and cat for 3 days. He seemed to be in a pinch and I said I would. He offered to pay me and I said great. However, I received a strong feeling midway thru the pet caring that he really didn’t want to pay. When they got home he kept saying he hadn’t had a chance to go to the bank. Then he needed pet care for 5 more days, but this time I said I was not available, which was true. But I felt that there was a lack of balance and respect. Any time things are out of balance, we need to take a step back and look at what’s taking place. I agreed to do the pet care mostly for the animals, so that they would be fed and have some human interaction, as pets can get very lonely when left alone. I always observe to see whether the person I am helping is reciprocal. Some are, some are not. When the reciprocity is missing, we need to step away. Years ago in the old world, this was very challenging for me, because I like to help people, but many people took advantage of this. I have had to become firm about what I am willing to do and what I’m not. This is part of us learning to Love our Selves and who we are. As we do learn this Love, we are no longer willing to agree to situations that are out of balance. This is not to say we can’t help out. The world is a richer place because of people helping people. But we want to make sure we are not just being used. And we want people to have their words and actions aligned. If they say something, then that is what they need to do. Or they can make another choice, but they need to communicate it.

The sun shining thru a heart cloud reminds us that we create our new worlds thru Love.

I know we hear, the more you give, the more you receive, but what I have found is, you have to first Love your Self. Then, when you are giving from a place of Loving your Self, with your boundaries in place, you do receive, in so many ways. But if you are giving in order to be liked or because you are afraid to say no, then some people will take advantage of your kindness. In the new world, we can be very kind and loving, and because we Love our Selves first, we also are firm and clear and we make choices that support our own happiness. When we respect our Selves, other people respect us in turn. Everything is balanced. Eventually this will be just the way things are.

This is something we are all getting to practice until that happens. That’s when our helping someone becomes part of our service to the All. We help others because we Love our Selves, and many of the people we help are very impacted by this and begin to also do this. At this point I’m only encountering a few who are still taking advantage. We are all growing and evolving and we all get to choose.

Another experience I had involved someone I was talking to. She kept bringing up depressing, negative topics, and I kept changing to happier ones. And then she would bring up a negative one. Finally she said she felt depressed and we needed to talk about something happy! As if I had caused this. You will find that many people who are still hanging out in 3D are unable to see what they are creating, and unable to own it. They are still blaming and not taking responsibility. So we will have to make choices about spending time with them. Someone I know emailed me that she had to let go of some long-time friendships because these friends were very negative. She realized that she has evolved into a new space and it’s not feeling good for her now to be around that. Yet she found it hard to let go. She wrote, “I am having a bit of a hard time with this as we were friends for a long time. However, upon releasing them and looking back, I now realize negative characteristics that they have that I didn’t recognize before and that now interfere with the path that I have chosen. Any words for me here?”

Many are going thru this very thing right now. As we evolve, we do notice the “negative” characteristics and we no longer can align with that energy as in the past. Once we clear our own patterns, we want to be around those who have more light and those who are more focused on creating joy and love and peace, those who want to inspire and feel inspired. Yet it is challenging when these are long-time friends. We can hold space for them to evolve too. We can talk with them now and then for a short time. We can continue to love them and think of them in a loving way.

We’ve cleared the old and we’re now ready to move into a new experience.

In the last week we have been thru some very intense transitional energy, and the message that came thru was we call upon you who have made these changes to your Self, who have reconnected with your soul, to rise up. So we, who have been working on clearing our old patterns and integrating these energies in order to create a new world and a new experience, are now being asked to move into this. We have worked hard to evolve our Selves, to Love our Selves, to prepare to live in a new way. Now is the time to rise up into this experience, to lift our Selves above the old ways and live the new ways. We no longer have to make any excuses or offer explanations or feel any guilt. We can simply be new. We’ve been overhauled, and we’re starting our new systems to see how they run. This may take some practice and some experimenting as we acclimate to the new grid, and shift our thinking from the old template to the new one. We’re learning as we go, we’re creating the guidebook. But these current energies have been completely remaking us. So allow yourself to feel that and believe it.
