Greetings, dear ones, from the Brotherhood of Light. The Melchizedek voice speaks with you first. I Am the Father of this quadrant of sacred space, and I would like to announce an ascension window in the second week of November, 2003. This simply means that a heightened surge of energy will permeate the earth, and augment your progress up the path, no matter where you are on it. There will be more of such events in the next decade, of course, but I will ask you to simply allow the transition to wash over you, wash through you, transmute your form, and get up lighter and brighter. Whatever your practice is, however you clear yourselves, it is important to do it daily during this time-period, for the energy will be truly heavy. You will need to rest often.

The Brotherhood of Light:
           Yes, we have spoken of the heavy weight of ascension before, have we not? For those of you cresting the shift, you are feeling the symptoms more keenly now. In a prior section on Pre-ascensionitis we listed the many symptoms that accompany this transformational process. Since you are changing down to your atomic structure, does it not make sense that you feel it down to your bones? You will feel as if gravity has tripled, and be very tired for long stretches of time. Your body will feel too heavy to lift or move. This does not bode well for people with full-time jobs. If at all possible, rest during your breaks, or stretch out in your car for a half hour at lunch.

          If exercise energizes you, go for a brisk walk! Listen to your body, it has a separate awareness and consciousness from your mental awareness. It tells you of its needs through a variety of sensations, and when you don't pay attention, it eventually breaks down. Pain is your best barometer of what's going wrong, where it is, and how bad it is. Synthetic pain killers merely block the sensation from the damaged area to the brain that is trying to say, Damage here, ow! Without that warning information of pain from your physical body, you can happily re-injure yourself or ignore the problem until it becomes chronic. This is not a good pattern to live by, dear ones, for it is literally self-defeating.

           Once you get accustomed to doing the Circle of Grace, you will feel moments when pain passes through an arm or leg while you're doing something totally mundane. Bless the release, breathe through it, massage it if need be, and continue on. These experiences will help you relate to your body's needs better, and show you how much progress you've made! Yes, we have explained that once you get used to releasing the pressure from your nervous system, you can do it at will, and stay much more energized and all-around healthier. If you already have a daily health practice, we only ask that you incorporate this information and add in the clearing of stress from your body. If you do yoga, for example, by all means incorporate the process into your moving meditation. Just remember to keep your jaw open so that the meridians can release.

           Whatever healing modality or modalities you use will be enhanced by a focus on clearing the nervous system. That is how the body naturally clears the residue of all of its layers, and holistic healing supports the body's natural processes. We keep stressing here that the Circle of Grace is a process already within your body, it is not just a meditation or a string of metaphysical concepts. We are teaching you how the body releases internal pressure to stay healthy. By learning how it feels and implementing it at your will, you gain control over your health, your energy, and your life. How many of you can slow your hearts down? Do you know that you can? Yes, you are all budding gurus! It may be a novel concept that you (the reader) can affect and direct an internal physical system in your body, but you can! That is exactly what we are teaching you. Gaining Mastery at all levels includes the physical. Clear the body, and you will clear your life. Why? The body is your inner physical core, only half of you. The other half, your auric or energetic layers, surround the core and are knitted into it, as well. There is an old saying that your body is the temple of your soul, and should be thus tended with reverence. From an energetic healing point of view, we will modify that statement somewhat. It may surprise you when we say that your body is actually your energetic trash can! Yes, all your layers, emotional, mental and spiritual, deposit their energetic waste products into your nervous system to be released by the body's meridians. Your temples await a thorough cleaning (chuckle)!

           That internal pressure, that pain and stress you feel when you get overloaded, where does it come from? From your emotional, mental and spiritual layers that deal with all the energetic and thinking aspects of your physical actions. Dear ones, you have ritual oil changes and inspections for your automobiles. The Circle of Grace is a vital oil change for your bodies! Remember there is never any drain without a gain. Your nervous system is a closed-pressure system. When one end releases, the other end intakes. What do you receive when you release the etheric schmutz out of your nervous system? An influx of new, clean universal energy to revitalize your total Be-ing. That is why we say, lie down, say the Healing Prayer out loud, give us your time and your faith and we will give you God's Grace.

           And now, for a specific focus on what you can do to help ease your transition. Once upon a time, long, long ago, before you became fully dense beings of expression, you traveled the Earth and feasted upon experiences in a much lighter etheric form. Indeed, you were so light that you breathed in energy through your crown and feet, Divine and Earth, expressing a true blending of the energies of above and below.

           Dear ones, you were fully sustained by Divine energy for you were fully-energetic beings, fully conscious of your Divine origins, and fully connected to the Divine Source.

           With the advent of these shifting times, now you are invited to return to that fullness of connection. You are being bathed in higher and more refined levels of energy. How are you assimilating them? There is no pill to take with your food, no powder to add to your drink. You must learn to absorb the higher energies through the workings of your energetic systems. Yes, we speak of your chakras, your intake/outtake valves that control how much energy resides and flows through each part of your body. We say you can learn to calm your heart, you can learn to clear your nervous system, and you can learn how to fill up your tank (of energetic reserves) whenever you need! We speak of universal energy, the energy which provides the spark and sustenance of your every cell, of every plant and animal, of everything on earth and beyond. Prana, chi, manna, you have called it many things, so you know it exists. You will need larger and larger doses of that very energy to sustain you as you move into the higher octaves. Your food, water and air will simply not provide enough fuel. We offer here a simple visualization to add to your meditations when you are tired and need to recharge your body:

           To re-cap the Circle of Grace instructions, please learn this exercise while lying down, arms and legs uncrossed, with pillows beneath head and knees. Always begin by saying the Healing Prayer out loud. Wear loose, comfortable clothing and remove your shoes. If that is not possible, then loosen whatever you can ‰ belts, bras, shoes. Any constriction on the physical body causes restriction to your energetic meridians, just as any injury, illness or surgery to the physical body causes damage to your energetic structures. Also remember to pause between each inhale and exhale, to create a rhythmic flow of release in pulsing waves. Keep that jaw open, too, or the Circle of Grace will not work.

The Breath of Life Visualization:
           Imagine that you are breathing in golden Divine energy from above and bright green Earth energy from below. Pull in a deep breath of Divine Light through your crown chakra (the top of your head) down through your body to twelve inches below your feet. Then exhale the energy through the pores of your skin all around you to feed the energetic layers of your entire Be-ing. Next breath, pull up Earth energy through the feet and up your body past the crown (to a foot above your head), exhale it through your skin in a cloud of nourishment all around you. As you do this, be aware that your sacral chakra, the second or abdominal energy center, is filling up with golden light/universal energy. Repeat this imaging, breathing slowly please, for about ten minutes or until you feel better. This is a new way to eat, children, only with less mess and no dishes!

           Do you follow?
           We hope you will.

           Dear ones, in this time of climbing energies, the heavier your heart is, the heavier your feet will be. For those of you leading unfulfilling lives, working at jobs you hate, tolerating relationships that no longer fit, you will see much stress and illness arising. When you live against your heart your life will not go well. The rising energies will force the body to mirror the state of the other layers. The rising energies will also force your lessons home to you, and lead you into situations that will necessitate action. In other words, best to clean up now, within and without, while you still have plenty of choices before you.

           Many of you are starting to see choices where there once were none. The key to all success, inner and outer, is finding self-love, self-worth, self-confidence. Notice that this has all to do with self ‰ nobody else's opinion should stand in your heart's way. Believe in yourself! Once you start living and seeking what your heart dictates, not your mind, you will create joy in your life, eradicate fear and illness from your being, and truly embrace the higher realms. Again, we offer a nutshell version here of the ascension process, and by no means belittle the many years you have been journeying. And yet, dear ones, the beauty, the learning and the love all happen on the journey. Don't miss out on the Now by focusing too much on the past or the unknown futures that lie ahead. For soul growth, it is truly the journey that counts. And that journey is getting more interesting, isn't it? Some of you are starting to intuit things, to hear things, to see visions, to have vivid dreams, to be guided by a knowing that often overrides logic. Yes, all symptoms of pre-ascensionitis. The good news is, your senses are beginning to unfurl. What you used to consider extra-sensory perception is in truth the full-sensory perception of the higher realms!

           Beyond the body's five physical 3-D senses lie many more invisible, previously intangible, 4-5D senses. Telepathy is the most common, between humans and between human and Spirit. Yes, thought you heard your dead grandmother speaking to you? She probably was, so pay attention next time it happens! Are your tiny children relating facts and visions way beyond their knowing? Pay attention, and absorb the messages ‰ children are much clearer and closer to Spirit than adults. Start writing down your dreams, and don't worry about what they mean. They may be precognitive information that hasn't happened yet. Welcome these events, give thanks for each peek through the Veil and don't go into fear, you're not going crazy! The Veil is thinning, dear ones, and as the dimensions meet and mesh, duality will lift and we will finally meet again.

           Until then, we invite you to visit with us often, and allow yourself to rest and heal. The best way to transform yourself into a lighter being is to be joyful, hopeful, grateful, knowing in your heart that Spirit will always guide and provide.

- We are, in All Love, The Brotherhood Of Light.
