I did an intuitive reading during the Lion's Gate Portal and was hit with unexpected guidance that, for now, changes everything. And in a recent newsletter, from Dre Beltami (a cool brand archetype expert), we were challenged to show our underbellies and tell the truth in our blogs or on social media, in a way that defies the typical advice we receive as online entrepreneurs. I've decided to take that challenge, and share exactly what's happening. So keep reading...  Your light and your truth were always there and you may not feel it now but you are stepping into a far higher version of you than what you ever dreamed possible. - Kerry K. Stop Right There!I've been feeling a little aimless. Directionless. And even when I thought I had moments of clarity, and got excited about an idea, within days, I was feeling unsure again. So I decided to do an intuitive reading. I hoped that the Lion's Gate Portal energy would provide me with the clarity I needed. Well, the message of one of the cards I pulled was certainly clear! It said that I was going in the wrong direction and needed to stop what I was doing, and basically, catch up to myself. The advice was to get clear on who I am now and who I am becoming before proceeding. And I understood that the next steps would turn out to be different than I expected.  So I do not yet know what is next. But now, I know that I am meant to wait for wisdom and clarity. Truth: I Really Don't Know |

Chakra Healing to Help You
Let Go & Feel Safe
Because fear is often the reason we hang onto the things we need to let go of, I believe that finding new ways to feel safe in every area of our lives needs to be part of our ongoing game plan. And heading into fall, you may want to consider practices that continue the work in a deeper way.
For example, with chakra healing. It's a mind-body-soul practice that can be life-changing as you let go, nurture, heal and empower your life.
But I suggest a slightly different focus. As you work on balancing and healing your chakras, bring safety to each one, not just the root chakra.
And empower each one, not just the solar plexus.
So you want to make it safe to trust yourself and your life, to be creative, to take back your power, to open your heart, to find your voice and your purpose, to listen to your intuition and to connect to your own divinity and to Spirit. And when you feel safe to take back your power, you'll do it in each of those ways.
Watch this website and stay tuned. I'm putting together a chakra healing resource for you that will include meditations to help you feel safe. When it's ready, I'll link to it above.
My Own Healing Intentions
There are several areas where I have been challenged in big ways, and I would welcome freedom in any of them. My relationship with money is one I mentioned last week, but I would also like to let go of limiting beliefs around power, agency and what I am capable of creating in my life.
And that would be right on time, because empowerment was one of the things she mentioned.
Dare I intend healing in more than one area? I'm going to need more rest!
But returning to the chakras and creating safety will make it easier.
My wish for the Lion's Gate Portal is that it returns me to my memory of who I am (the infinite me) and deepens my access to my wisdom and abilities. I also believe it will align me with how the spiritual rescue mission we healers and lightworkers all are on is meant to play out in my life, specifically.
Wishing you powerful magic as you step into the portal today!
love, Jeanine
Whether you believe you've been programmed by a society gone wrong, by a handful of people who run the world while no one's looking, by dark forces who created a simulated world that might feel free but is actually a prison, by a fallen angel in a desperate fight to win the universe or all of the above, you probably know you have limiting beliefs. And that finding your truth won't feel as easy as 1-2-3.
Finding My Truth
It all started with money.
And boy, what a long and winding road that was! I was trying to decide whether or not to order a $27 orange lipstick, plus two other amazing finds - a long orange robe that snaps closed and warm green, long nightshirt that together, cost over $50.
I don't believe I've ever seen an orange robe before, and most green sleepwear I find is cool in coloring. I've been waiting to buy that lipstick again for about 6 years now - exactly how long I've been poor.
But things are better now. Doesn't mean I can just throw money around, willy nilly, though. ;)
Anyway, ultimately, I have decided to buy them.
But first, I decided to go looking for the hidden rules, hidden feelings and hidden meaning around spending money, and then to try to disentangle all that baggage. Five or six pages later, I knew a lot more about the programming I've experienced in all areas of my life, and I came to understand just how complicated most simple decisions actually are.
Why does the lipstick matter so much to me, I wondered.
And immediately, what I saw in my mind was my mother getting ready to go out for the evening. She and my father were both dressed up in very fancy clothes and the last thing my mother did before they left, was put on her lipstick.
She dressed rather conservatively, in classic style, but when she put on lipstick, she put it on!
Now, on to the robe and nightshirt...
At this stage of my life, my loungewear is sleepwear. As long as I am covered, I don't mind answering the door in a robe.
But do I really need to buy the robe in my favorite color, so I can wear that, instead of this grey mess I've been wearing for the past 2 years? Hmm.
It often brings me tears, to think about my mother, because I miss her so much. But again, as I considered that question, I remembered her.
Even when she had cancer, my son and I would go to her house, to find her fully dressed, in jeans, sneakers, a t-shirt and her favorite robe, for warmth. During at least one stint in the hospital, she wore that robe over their nightgown.
As I was remembering her, I was writing down rules in my journal...
When you're about to go somewhere and you want to look presentable, wear your best colors, a style that flatters you, and makeup. Too tired to bother with all that? At least put on lipstick.
It's important to get dressed every day. Or at least look presentable. You never know who might show up at your door.
Identity includes the colors you choose, the clothes and jewelry you wear, the way you decorate your home and what color and style everything is within it.
If you've "made it," you are getting paid to do what you love, you can afford to buy whatever you want, you're living in a home you've decorated well, that has a view you love, you're driving the car you want and can easily afford to do the things that matter to you.
By the time I was a few more pages in, I had discovered that (apparently) I don't really deserve good things, that life never quite works out and uncovered a double bind that encourages me to never give up because that's admirable and to always give up because nothing will ever work out.
I'd also discovered that ascension and spirituality both have rules and standards, too, according to my beliefs, and I am probably not going to get an A in either one.
Now, my favorite "rules" are ones I am not sure I will let go of because they feel so much like me.
Aim for liking what you see in the mirror. It's your opinion that matters most.
Wear the colors you love, even if you're just hanging out at home, because they make you happy.
By the time I got to page six, I was very eager to break up with some of these rules! Especially the painful ones. But I might hang onto the ones above.
Now, let's look at how you can begin finding your truth...
3 Ways to Find Your Truth
Come along on this journey with me. We won't have all the answers in place by the end of the post, but once you step onto the path, it will only go forward into opening up more truth.
Make a cup of tea and then, grab your journal, in case you want to write everything down and get back to it later.
Here are the three steps we'll take together...
(1) Question Everything
(2) Listen for What Your Heart Thinks
(3) Tell Yourself the Truth
(1) Question Everything
It's Time to Uncover the Hidden Rules
You May not Know You're Following
Now for this one, you don't need the extravaganza my exploration turned into the other day. Just begin with any area of your life where you think something funky might be going on!
If you've tried to make changes unsuccessfully, or feel yourself gravitating again toward choices that concern you, start looking for the hidden rules you might be following. What did you learn as you were growing up, that might be running the show?
Jot down all the rules or limiting beliefs that come to mind as you explore this area of your life. Keep going until you feel you've uncovered everything connected to that part of your life.
As you're doing this, you're actually asking yourself two powerful questions without even realizing it: 'Is this really true?' and 'Do I actually want this rule or belief guiding my life?

(2) The Heart Alchemy Process: Connect to Your Heart's Wisdom
Get Quiet and Still and Drop Your Energy
and Focus Down into Your Heart
Imagine a warm, glowing light softly touching the top of your head, before it begins to travel gently from your head to your throat and then down into your heart. Once it's there, notice it getting brighter and warmer.
Feel it open you up to the love you have inside you and to the love that's all around you. Pause in this moment until you begin to feel it, then ask that love to expand and deepen.
Know that you can trust your heart and the divine, to connect you to your truth. To the truth of who you are, to the wisdom that you already know, and to your own clear path forward.
When you're ready, one by one, begin to offer your heart the questions, stories, rules and feelings you've unearthed. Your heart and your inner light, will know how to sort and heal and resolve them.
Don't push for words.
And ask your heart to show you the light on your forehead if you mistakenly abandon it and travel north back to your mind for its conditioned wisdom. If that happens, bring the light back down to your heart and stay there with it.
Sit quietly, and watch or feel your heart do its work, until it signals you that it's finished for now.
You can then begin returning your energy to the room you're in and reconnect to its sights and sounds. Give yourself a gentle stretch or two, not just to return more fully, but also to embody the magic and healing you've just experienced.
You can return to the heart alchemy process again and again, whenever you need it.
(3) Tell Yourself the Truth
With Love, Warmth, Laughter & Gentleness, Start Telling Yourself the Truth
You may now feel that some things are resolved. But unfortunately, your programmed mind, and whatever or whoever else might be trying to hold you back, will offer you plenty of chances to return to the conditioning, the hidden rules and the old stories you uncovered.
When it does, or they do, shower yourself with love. And tell yourself the truth.
For example, my heart reminded me, after the heart alchemy process was over, that I absolutely deserve happiness, but that I'm in choppy waters if I am wanting to buy it.
So I reminded myself of other ways I have exchanged a negative feeling for a positive one without spending money. And I no longer feel so emotionally attached to either of those spending choices, so it's easy to think more clearly about them.

YOU DID IT! How Did it Go?
Even if your world didn't completely set itself to rights (mine, either), notice if you feel clearer, or lighter. Or more empowered.
Did you find your truth?
Or some, if not all of it, yet? Know that you're on the path now, and from here, it can only get better.
Love you!

How did the challenge go for you this month?
I am always so blessed to be able to hang out with blogger friends and have conversations about the things that matter most to us. And although it's a challenge each time, to write as many posts as I want to, I love the process of thinking through each topic and deciding what to share.
Thanks, you guys, for being with me this month! I hope the rest of your summer is wonderful, and I'll see you for the Ultimate Blog Challenge, Fall Edition.
love, Jeanine
P.S. I have a parting gift for you, for fall.
Inner healing is something that you are being called to explore at a much deeper level and in very new and unique ways. - Kerry K
Recuperate & Go Within
In her video below, Kerry K. talks about how lightworkers are likely to be overwhelmed (the ascension path can be exhausting), and because of that, shut down. And her suggested solution is to focus on recuperating from the overwhelm. The most important way to do that is to reconnect with your truest self.
In response to stress, we often shut down parts of ourselves without even realizing it. But healing it just requires slowing down and really being with ourselves.
The Path to Emotional Healing
3D life leaves wounds and scars. Taking the time and making the effort to heal can change everything in your experience as a lightworker.
Here's how to begin a healing practice...
(1) Spend Time Alone: Use practices like guided meditation and journaling, to identify and process emotional wounds and to recover from them.
Be still and meditate.
(2) Energy Clearing: Every time you connect to your divine self, you also raise your frequency and clear your energy field. But you also can use other energy healing techniques if you'd like.
(3) Get Support when You Need it: Connect with other lightworkers, therapists, or spiritual mentors who can provide guidance, acceptance and a safe space to talk about your feelings.
By nurturing your emotional well-being, you'll not only recover and heal, you'll also enhance your ability to radiate light and love to those around you and to humanity, in general.
Healing Takes Time
Is it taking longer to get there, or to come into your own, than you expected? Me, too. And I suspect that that might be the norm for lightworkers.
Takes a while to undo all of that programming!
But take your time. Your people will still be waiting for you, ready for your thought leadership, your voice, your message.
See you next time!
love, Jeanine
Slow down. That's where you find yourself. We were born for this! - Kerry K.
We're headed toward the end of the Ultimate Blog Challenge, summer edition!
And I decided that this month, I would share my message as often as possible. Today, that message is about slowing down and pausing for mindful connection.
You'll see what I mean when you listen to the video below - and you may notice my phone adding magical emphasis a couple of times. ;)
So here's why daily rituals and slow living are so important when you're on a spiritual path...
What do you think about today's message? Is it a practice you could create in your own life?
Remember to pause!
love, Jeanine
Being grounded is a term that refers to being present, centered, and aware of your thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations. It can also mean having a strong sense of self and purpose, and trusting yourself. Grounding can be a powerful tool for mental and emotional health, and can help you feel less likely to be thrown off by upsetting events. - Google's AI Overview
Heart-Centered Grounding
Grounding is important for lightworkers, so that even though they spend a lot of time being tuned in, they are also able to be fully embodied and present in the moment. It's also important to stay connected to their purpose and grounded in the truth of who they are.
Though we're used to thinking of the grounding process as something that involves the feet and an earth connection, grounding can also occur through your heart center.
Heart-centered grounding allows lightworkers to anchor themselves in love and compassion, as well as in truth. By focusing on your heart, you can attune to the frequency of love, and feel that love as part of the experience of being centered and grounded.
Try this grounding exercise that focuses on the heart.
Heart-Centered
Anchoring Exercise
(1) Get into a comfy position. Close your eyes if you'd like.
(2) Place one hand over your heart. Take a few deep, slow breaths.
(3) As you breathe, focus on the warmth of your hand and the rhythm of your heartbeat.
(4) Visualize a soft, golden light glowing within your heart. With each breath, that light grows brighter and expands.
(5) Imagine this light creating a golden sphere around you, starting from your heart and extending outward.
(6) Within this sphere, imagine that you are held peacefully and securely by the energy of your heart.
(7) Think of a word or phrase that might help you feel centered (e.g., "peace," "strength," "balance"). Silently repeat this word or phrase with each breath.
(8) Feel yourself becoming calm, centered, and anchored, held within your heart's energy and the golden sphere of light.
(9) When you feel fully centered and grounded, slowly open your eyes, and take that grounded energy back into your day.
(10) Throughout your day, return briefly to this grounded state by placing a hand on your heart and thinking of your chosen word or phrase.
What was this exercise like for you? Tell me in a comment.
And check out Julie's blog post for another heart-centered way to get centered...
A simple yet powerful tool that can transform your mornings and your mindset is a daily writing practice. Often referred to as journaling, this practice offers a sanctuary for your thoughts and emotions, providing clarity and peace amidst the chaos. - Julie Jordan-Scott
See you tomorrow!

A heart-centered lifestyle is about finding your true self, understanding your values, and living a life that makes you happy.
- Google's AI Overview
Living a heart-centered life means choosing love instead of fear, living from the heart more than the head and not letting external issues steal your joy.
As lightworkers who are here to anchor higher frequencies, living from love and staying in its energy not only empowers us to live our purpose, it makes it possible for those frequencies to reach others.
Never is it more important than when something's wrong in our own personal world or in the world at large.
Here are 7 ways to create a heart-centered lifestyle...
Create a Heart-Centered Lifestyle
(1) Morning Rituals: Begin your day with a cozy ritual that connects you to your divine self.
(2) Mindful Breathing: Throughout your day, practice mindful breathing to center yourself. With each inhale, imagine drawing in pure, loving energy, and with each exhale, release any tension or negativity. How does your body feel when you breathe in love?
(3) Heart-Centered Meditation: Dedicate time to meditate, focusing on your heart chakra. Visualize a radiant light expanding from your heart, and then surrounding you.
(4) Affirmations of Love: Speak affirmations that connect you to your heart. Phrases like "I am dropping down into my heart now" or you can ask, "what does my heart think?" What other affirmations come to mind?
(5) Healing Connection to Nature: Spend time in nature, wherever you feel most connected to the divine. For me, it's the ocean. Where is it for you?
(6) Clear Your Energy: Cleanse & clear away negative energy from your energy field with practices like smudging, salt baths, or crystal healing.
You also can try a grounding visualization - imagine your own light surrounding you, and moving downward, deep into the earth. See it dissolve any negativity and bring back love energy into your body and into your heart.
(7) Evening Reflection: As your day ends, think of the moments where you felt connected to your love and light or felt a heart connection to others.
We're coming to the end of this post now, and there's something I really want you to take in and remember.
You are a powerful being of light, and if you can live from the heart, the power of your love can change the world.
love, Jeanine
