Greetings, dear ones, from the Brotherhood of Light. In these times of increasing stress and strain at all levels – physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual – know that you are one and all, beloved. Spirit cheers you on in every moment of every day, and soothes you at night when you sleep. We have been writing to you since the turn of the Millennium, counseling you to take care of yourselves, eat well, sleep long, and drink a lot of water. We have brought forward the Circle of Grace, a simple meditation that teaches you how to clear your body of internal pressure so that new, clean energetic fuel can enter your PEMS layers. We see your physical body as the inner core of your four-layered dense etheric body. Embedded in your body is your nervous system, which is the physical manifestation of your auric meridians. Yes, in clearing one you clear both! That is why we have jokingly referred to your body as the "energetic trash can" for your emotional, mental and spiritual layers.

Your human body is so incredibly designed – does it not make sense that it would contain a built-in cleansing mechanism? As we have said before, God is in the perfection of every detail, and you were perfectly designed! When you say the Healing Prayer out loud to connect with us in Spirit, and then lie down to meditate with your jaw open – amazing things will happen! If you are in good health, please consider adding a daily meditation to your life anyway. Clearing stress from your body keeps you healthy. Having a daily practice will help you learn to relax, which is essential for balance in both mind and body. The Circle of Grace clearing is more than just physical, it reaches outward and clears your entire aura, layer by layer. Your jaw joints are the on-off switch for meridian release. If you already have a preferred meditation, then God Bless, and just keep your jaw relaxed or open to get the full benefit of relief and release at all levels.

Just to remind you, the first two lines of the Healing Prayer are generic, for you to amend to suit your personal beliefs. The last two lines we ask that you speak as written, to give us and your Higher Self permission to interact with you in your physical dimension. Speaking this prayer aloud is vital for a full connection between the physical and non-physical realms. Why? Your planet is in a protected "free-will zone", and the physical vibration of your voice is required to give us permission to bridge the dimensional gap and work with you in your own physical space.

Dear Father-Mother God (or whatever form of ultimate energy you believe in), Divine Source, Divine Mother, please join me for this healing meditation.
Dear Ascended Masters, guides and angels, (or whatever differentiated energies you believe in) please join me for this healing meditation.
Dear Brothers, the Brotherhood of Light, please join me for this healing session.
Dear Higher Self, please join me in this sacred moment to guide and lead.

Also, please remember that you can call upon us for any reason, for any purpose that is of the light and in the light. Whether you are going shopping, taking a test, or waiting to see your doctor, amend the above prayer as you need and we will gladly join you!

In this article we would like to discuss a word in your language, to highlight its true meaning and give it more meaning for you. That word, dear ones, is communion.

Now that you, we and the planet (All Is One) are fast approaching the end of the Millennium Shift, we urge you to call upon us as often as you can, day or night, to help you with whatever you are doing. Whether it be the Circle of Grace (our favorite form of communication!), shopping, traveling, or sitting at your desk, you can be in constant contact with us by merely desiring to be so. Yes, you are quickly nearing a time where you will all be in constant communion with Spirit; isn't it time you started practicing?

As in our prior work, we teach by using your own language. Let us examine the word "communion". As a religious term: 1. A Christian sacrament that commemorates Jesus' Last Supper, with the priest or minister consecrating bread and wine that is consumed by the congregation. 2. A Communion service containing the sacrament of Communion. 3. The consecrated bread and wine received by worshipers at a Communion service. See also Eucharist. As a noun, communion is: 1. Intimacy – a feeling of emotional or spiritual closeness. 2. Connection – a relationship, especially one in which something is communicated or shared. 3. A religious group with common faith – as in Christianity, a religious group with its own set of beliefs and practices. 4. A fellowship between religious groups – a sense of shared religious identity and fellowship, especially between members of different Christian denominations.

Now look at that word again, our way: Come-union!
(Chuckles and a big hug!)

The union (or unity) of consideration and compassion, of truth and clarity, will bring much healing to your planet in the next few years. Yes, the rising energies will allow no less! Do not despair at all the darkness you see, understand that it requires more Light to make new dark things come into view. Take responsibility for what is, rather than blaming each other for what or how it happened. Release your old habits of guilt, blame and shame, and instead look for ways to make things better! How? You have a saying that is very appropriate: Sharing the load lightens the burdens!

Dear lightworkers, support each other, work on each other often, and remember to take time to enjoy each other! As the planetary vibrations intensify, all the old emotional baggage that was invisible in your former 3D lives will become more and more obvious. You will begin to feel your auric "density" in new ways as your senses expand. Some may feel an all-over tiredness, as if gravity had increased. Others may feel pressure in their hands and feet as their nervous system tries to clear itself, but the exit doors may be closed (hand and foot chakras). Chronic spots will flare up more often, which are blockages in your physical and/or auric layers. Pay attention to your body's signals, dear ones, and you will have a smooth, graceful Shift experience!

We have counseled you to clean up your lives, inside and out, from your homes to your jobs to your relationships. The longer you resist change, the harder the lessons the Universe will send you. There is no time left for dismissal, denial, or delay. The more time speeds up, the faster your lessons will manifest, and the more intense life's dramas will grow. Don't let things pile up until the piles start falling on you! That is simply the difference between taking charge of your life and letting the events of your life take charge of you.

Dear ones, have you realized by now that your exterior life mirrors your interior life? Yes, many people are falling ill, and so quickly! All imbalances are rising to the surface in order to be cleared. In some cases, your quest for health will cause you to change your lives for the better. In other cases, harmonizing your outer lives – home, work, and relationships – will improve your health. Don't be afraid to make changes, and don't let fear rule your decisions! Some people work so hard to stay in place that they forfeit the opportunity to manifest positive changes. Always remember, dear reader, that fear blocks anything and everything. Fear will block you from making choices, taking chances, and making any forward progress. Fear of getting ill will make you ill! Yes, you create what you focus on. Don't get caught up in avoiding life, for it will surely pass you by.

You have been told by many sources that time is speeding up. Do you realize that you are down to a twelve-hour day? Put another way, each hour passes by in a half hour. That's why you cannot accomplish as much as you used to. Be patient with yourselves, dear ones, in this time of intense transformation. Make sure you eat well, drink lots of clean water, and sleep – you need lots of sleep to counteract the debilitating effects of the Millennium Shift. Both daily exercise and a daily practice are also vital for your continued well-being. Some type of daily clearing is truly essential now, to rid your bodies of excess internal pressure that you call stress and pain. In the Circle of Grace work, we have taught you how the body functions at physical and energetic levels, how your nervous system is designed to release internal pressure to make room for the higher energies to take hold within you. By cleaning up your lives and clearing your bodies of density, you are making a great contribution to the global human awakening.

Do not be discouraged by all the challenges that surround you, dear reader. Please remember that the Millennium Shift is a 25-year process, and it's almost over! With the way time is flying by (chuckles), the next few years will pass very quickly. We applaud and support those of you who are already making constructive changes in your lives. We eagerly await the rest of you to wake up and start seeking the higher truths! We would like to offer advice to those of you lightworkers who are hands-on practitioners. Have you noticed the changes in your work? Have you started seeing "little miracles" occur? As the planetal energies intensify, your hands-on work will get stronger and deeper! Your intuition will become true guidance. People will start to really feel what you are doing, realize how much it helps, and seek more. Please, teach everyone you can about the basics of the Circle of Grace. Give them the gift of this inherent birth right, knowledge of how their bodies clear naturally, during sleep. Once they learn to master this easy technique of meditation, your work with them will be more efficient and effective. Yes, once the "plumbing" is cleared, you can help them build a new, stronger foundation of health and clarity in resonance with the higher frequencies.

Another piece of advice: if you are accustomed to eating meat, now is not the time to become a vegetarian! Your bodies need extra protein for both grounding and sustenance. No matter what your dietary preferences may be, you should eat some form of protein at least twice per day. A good, strong multivitamin would also be beneficial, heavy in B complex to support your glandular systems which are being sorely taxed in this transition.

In order for you to do this vital, essential work, dear practitioners, you must clear each other first! Why do we say "each other" instead of "yourselves"? Because you need to be clear and balanced to channel the stronger incoming energies. They will tax you in new ways – burning up calories, water and minerals from your system. Extra protein will help maintain your stamina. Drinking a full glass of water (you and the client) before the session will keep you both well-hydrated. Taking trace minerals (the concentrate form made from natural shale works best) will fuel your work without depleting your body of vital minerals. Start with just one drop in the morning, then work up to a comfortable level. A homeopathic combination of the twelve Cell Salts is also a good way to maintain your electrolyte balance. Remember to proceed with caution - only add one supplement at a time to your diet, so that if you do have an adverse reaction you will know what you are reacting to.

These recommendations are for your general knowledge. Please keep in mind that not every supplement works for everyone. Follow the dictates of your body, and you will find what works best for you. Our most important advice is: if you are ill, you should not work on anyone else. They may still get some benefit from the session, but it will make you sicker! When you are ill, it is very difficult to work on yourself, no matter how much you think you know. It takes energy to move energy! Ask your fellow lightworkers for help. Form support groups if you can, meet once or twice a month to work on each other. If you can't physically meet, you can do distant work or establish meeting places on the internet. Pool your resources and barter your time, for you will need each other in the times to come.

As your senses expand into the non-physical range, you will start to see or feel excess pressure on a client like a heavy blanket that can be peeled off in layers. Yes, as the energies intensify, your actual work will get easier! Unless you are working on a specific area of blockage, please remember to start at the root and clear each chakra on up to the crown. Why? As we explained in the Circle of Grace material, your body naturally clears itself from the top down and uses the "exit doors" of your hand and foot chakras to expel excess, spent energy. If those exits are closed, the meridian system cannot drain pressure.

If there is blockage at the knees, for example, the body cannot clear itself adequately, and you develop "chronic spots" that linger indefinitely. Or pressure will back up behind that knee blockage, resulting in hip or abdominal issues that seem to have no discernable source. That knee injury may be twenty years old and long forgotten, but auric blockage can remain from illness, injury or surgical damage, long after the physical body has healed. Your meridian system is like a one-lane road – no passing allowed! Clearing the system from the bottom up insures that the higher blockages will have a path to drain down and out.

The advantage you have over current medicinal practices is that doctors look within the body to track the symptoms back to their source. If the source of the imbalance is auric pressure, you can release that blockage and relieve the symptoms before the physical core is affected. That is the biggest difference in the two approaches: holistic care is preventative, while traditional medicine is mostly palliative.

Lastly, we would like to discuss another point – your expanding vision. Dear practitioners, get into the habit of keeping your eyes open! It's not only your hands that channel energy. You can direct the flow of energy with your sight through movements of your eye muscles. For example, vertical sweeps of your eyes from the client's head to their toes will augment their release of internal pressure. You may be asking, how is this possible? As you clear your body of density, you will be able to hold more of the new higher energies in your PEMS layers. Yes, your entire body and aura will reverberate with the higher frequencies and set a new standard for others to follow.

For those of you who are loyally working with us in Circle of Grace sessions, and who ask for help in sensory expansion, we have started training your eyesight. More specifically, we are entraining your eye muscles to function in new ways. First, we teach you how to fully relax your facial muscles, then how to fully relax your eye muscles. This is not a question of trying to "push" energy with your vision, but rather linking to the energy flows by pulsing your eye muscles. This added power comes not from what you see, but how you see!

At first, we will begin teaching you how to pulse energy through your eye muscles without moving your eye balls. This process should not strain your eyes or forehead. If you feel muscle fatigue in your upper face, you're trying too hard! Relax, bring your inner awareness up to your closed eyes, and focus on releasing control of your eye muscles. We will gently send patterns of pulses through your eyes, to train your muscles to operate in new ways.

At first you my feel your eyes just pulsing, like a separate heartbeat. This first step may last a few sessions or a few weeks, you are each so different that we cannot overlay a timeline to this teaching. Just know that since we are sworn to help and never harm, so we will guide you according to what your body can comfortably handle, not necessarily what your mind wants! Also, the patterns we teach you may be in a different sequence than is listed here, again because we follow the needs of each individual. After the stationary pulse, we may show you the vertical, and then the horizontal. Or you may feel a pulse that begins at the outer corner of each eye and end at the inner corner, near the bridge of your nose. The most difficult to master is the circular pulse, which you can eventually stimulate in both clockwise and anticlockwise motion. This one is harder because you must truly learn to let your eye muscles move without moving your eyeballs.

The vertical and horizontal eye pulses can be used in two ways: to scan the aura for impressions or indications of unbalanced areas, and to direct or strengthen the flow of release during your table session. The pulse from the outer to inner corners of your eyes stimulates your third eye chakra to connect with your inner sight. The counter-clockwise pulse opens a chakra or an area of blockage that needs clearing. This pulse also intensifies energetic attunements greatly, when done in tandem with your hand motions. The clockwise pulse restores the chakra or chakra region to its normal, closed functional state. Do you see now why we started this section by asking you to keep your eyes open when you do tablework? To avoid any possible confusion here, we will say again that while you are learning this process you are in session with us, with your eyes closed. Once you start applying these teachings in your holistic work, you need to keep your eyes open to direct the energy flows, and to hold your visual focus on the area you are clearing.

Granted, this method of clearing may not appeal to everyone. Some of you may simply hold a person's head, start the energy flowing and then stare at the person's feet for the duration of the clearing. Other practitioners may start by opening the client's hand and foot chakras (always good to open those exit doors!) and pulling pressure from the arms and legs until blockages arise that interrupt the flows. As we have said before, your only limits are the limits of your own imagination (chuckles). Whether or not you use this information along your path, just knowing it is possible will greatly expand your framework of reference.

Isn't that what our work together is all about, dear ones? No matter how old you get (chronologically speaking), you're never too old to learn. And the clearer you get in all PEMS levels, the younger you will feel! Our purpose in teaching you care and maintenance of your auras is to facilitate your re-birth into the non-physical realms, back to the True Reality of Spirit where we reside, where you came from, and where you will return to after this physical life is done. It matters not whether you ascend with your body or without it – we await impatiently for your return, and look forward to our come-union (chuckles) with you as multi-dimensional beings. We love you dearly!

We are, in All Love, the Brotherhood of Light.
