The latest round has to do with how Indigos are vibrating, and the relationship between what we hold and know as the ideal ~ and what happens when we discover others here on the planet who are:

• not awake yet
• not aware of the harm they are causing to others
• seemingly unwilling to cooperate with the enormous changes in transforming systems and societies so that how we live is of benefit to all living things

Yeah, there’s a LOT to be said about this!  And my answers just might make a very long post.

I also want to say to all my readers:  “Hey, you have your OWN answers!  You don’t need to look outside yourself for validation any longer.”  Trust yourself!  That said, if you’d like to hear what I have to say about this and more, do read on.

One reader puts the question this way (which is a very common question I’m hearing a lot these days, which is why I wanted to answer it here on the blog).:

“One question I have is that if Indigos are these highly advanced souls who are supposed to be vibrating at this really high vibration, but as a result of being at this high vibration, they don’t really connect with that many other people and most other people just don’t get them, and then as a result of that, they feel really misunderstood, lonely and depressed a lot of the time, then wouldn’t those bad feelings of being misunderstood, loneliness and depression lower their vibration dramatically?

I ALWAYS knew I was different, and psychics, astrologers, palm readers, etc. are always telling me I am such an old advanced soul, but don’t negative emotions lower one’s vibration?  I am studying the Abraham-Hicks work and it has helped a lot and I really, really strive for feelings of well-being and I am achieving it more and more now but it is so hard because I never really felt like I belonged on the earth plane and I do not connect with most conventional people.

Wouldn’t a person who is a newer soul, with very few problems, an easy life who totally fits in and is happy all the time be better off and be vibrating higher?  Abraham says it is your feelings that determine your vibration so if all of these misfit Indigos don’t really feel that great a lot of the time, can they really be benefiting the world all that much?

I really want to understand this and appreciate your help.”
What a great question!  This touches on several things that I want to tease apart, in order to be as clear as possible about them.

1)  Indigo core vibration and transient energy fields

The question about keeping your vibration at a high level has more to do with transient moods and responses to what one encounters on a daily basis, rather than the quality of the vibration Indigos carry at their core.  For example,  you may (or rather, most certainly WILL!!) encounter people or institutions that are clearly operating at a very low vibration and thereby causing harm.  This is just going to “push your buttons” as an Indigo, because we’re hard-wired to reject that which is not based in love and truth.

The thing is, whether you now recall making the contract to come here or not, part of the “deal” was that you’d be in situations that are going to call you to rebel, make waves. and DO something about what you encounter here.  On the other side, before you got here, you already knew it would not be easy.  It would not be “home” the way Heaven is — and until you got old enough to understand that the current situation here on Planet Earth is still in transformative territory — that unless you find family and allies who are up to the same things you are, there would be no help or respite for you — and that there is no one else to turn to, who is going to come riding in on a “white horse” to save you OR the planet.  It’s going to be an inside job for all humankind to do, this waking up and making changes.

It’s the Indigos who volunteered to be here on the front lines, who KNOW what needs to change — and who know how to live in love and peace and joy.  We are the ones who hold the sacred knowledge about how to live in harmony without causing harm to others.  Now, because we are in an environment that does not wholly support who we are, this alone causes pain.  We are not getting our personal needs met, or not met well enough.  And it hurts!  So we have THAT to deal with.

Then, we have the aspect of how it feels to be called to make waves and great cultural change, without much support.  That’s tough.  It’s like being on a battlefield with only paper shields and good ideas.  But our “weapons” are peace, kindness, hope, inspiration, and the power of enormous goodness and connection to Source.  And a vision and deep, deep knowing of how it is to live without discord.   In many ways, our “weapons” are all we need — because the institutions of war and greed and all the other drivers of the Piscean Age are dying now.  With our help, of course.  And the energy of creation and co-creation is more powerful than the energies of destruction.  Conveniently, they also happen to feel better

And finally, we have the pain of wanting desperately to be already living in an ideal world that we know to our core is possible.  The yearning for something that isn’t here yet is powerful and compelling.  It requires of us that we reach deep inside, stay anchored to Source, take deep breaths, and fling ourselves into the fray wherever we see an opening.  Many of us “make openings” where there were none — and that’s the hardest way of all.

So this is what it means to be a “spiritual warrior”.  We are the ones who take seriously the imperative for change — and demand and work tirelessly for it in every way we can imagine.  It is like an insatiable hunger in our souls — whose only satisfaction can come in small doses until our combined work creates the massive shifts that sometimes happen, and surely will continue in ever more rapid waves well into this century.

As to the energies of anger that get evoked when we contact something less than ideal?  They aren’t who you are at your core.  They flash, and can be used to create change.  And then you return to the Truth that you carry inside — which is Love.  Always Love.

Isn’t that so?  Isn’t that what really happens for you?
So don’t stay in the flashes — stay with the core.  That’s a useful thing to remember.

Now let me move to the second part of the answer, having to do with vibration and attraction.

2) Vibrational matches and Abraham-Hicks

For those of you who don’t know, the entity “Abraham” is channeled by a woman named Esther Hicks and transcribed by her husband Jerry.  The materials so produced are generally about living in abundance, creating prosperity, and working with your mind to be a powerful co-creator of Goodness in your personal life and in the world.  The teachings are very wise and have helped many to “get their heads on straight” about money and lack, scarcity, and being in good relationships with others.  I like the books and think Abraham’s teachings are very sound overall.

But still there is a lot of confusion out there about the Law of Attraction and your personal vibration.  I’m not going into the whole thing here, except to do my best to answer this reader’s question about how you’re vibrating and what you attract.  It’s such a great question, because it goes to the heart of so much pain that many Indigos carry, and a lot of confusion.  So let me see what I can do to get things sorted out on this topic.

It would also be helpful for all readers to take a closer look at my 11:11 posts on Universal and Spiritual Laws, and study them.  They will help you to figure out where in your own mind you’ve gotten off track.  And what you need to do to return to living the way you want.

It is almost inevitable that what you encounter in the culture around you will provoke your anger and disdain.  Few structures and systems here are working according to the 11:11 Laws.  You and I and our Indigo brothers and sisters are here to restore those Laws into practice.

The basic question is about the temporary energies you feel when you are fearful or angry; do they interfere with your ability to manifest goodness and prosperity?  With your ability to live harmoniously in your own skin?

The answer depends on your personality patterns to a large degree, but also on your overall mission and purpose and whether or not you are living a life that aligns with that mission and purpose.  If, for instance, you are in a “stalled” place — not moving forward toward a specific project or active in work or play that makes you feel satisfied (at least for the time being) — then you will probably be more vulnerable to these moments of temporary challenge — as you will when you feel some of the greater consciousness shifts as they move powerfully through humankind.

On the other hand, if you are well aligned and on a path (either spiritual or personal) you can more easily weather the temporary nature of what you encounter.  It’s like having an anchor to your boat in a storm; rather than get blown completely off course and out to sea, you can stay where you are until the storm blows over and then resume your journey when you’re ready.

Now as for the Law of Attraction. I do believe that these transient swings into anger can affect what you attract to a certain degree.  This is why most spiritual teachers tell us to avoid cultivating anger and angry outbursts or actions, as they tend to produce karma (Law of Cause and Effect.)  The energy of anger, when indulged, leads to suffering — yours as well as others.  This is why it is not encouraged, in most spiritual traditions.

On the other hand, I personally feel that anger has a purpose:  and in Indigos it’s to alert us to specifics that need our attention in creating change — even if that turns out to be making others aware that it’s wrong.  Sometimes, it takes a “shock” for others who are not yet awake, to be able to see that something IS wrong.  THEY certainly aren’t going to notice it!  So when we have those outbursts, we can actually be doing what we’re “supposed” to do — being the iconoclasts we are, and forcing change where it’s needed.

So if you find yourself feeling angry, the best thing to do is to be aware of the Universal and Spiritual Laws — and to work with your own mind and heart to master yourself.  Learn how to use your anger as a tool and force for Goodness, rather than as an emotional reaction from a “victim” space that does not align with your higher self and calling.

And while we’re on the “victim” thing — abandon all thoughts that you are a victim.  Take charge of your mind.  And learn to use yourself in ways that your soul will respect.  You can and must do this.  This is your biggest answer and hope.

Now, let’s come back to the Law of Attraction.  I find that so long as I am continuing to move towards worthy goals and stay attuned to Source, the temporary energies of negativity (whatever they be and from whatever source) can be managed successfully.  In other words, I can rapidly offset them by taking immediate positive action such as:

– turning my mind toward Source

– going to a still place and getting quiet

– fostering an “attitude of gratitude”

– replacing the negative thoughts with their positive corollary

– putting some positive energy back into the Universe through unselfish deeds, preferably anonymously

– setting my ego aside

These all work quickly in most cases, and help to offset any energies I may have attracted.

So the thing to do is to assess the “damage” and read the energies correctly.  Experiment.  You will soon find, as I have, that the faster you shift your attitude, the faster you get back on track and reverse anything negative that you’ve attracted by losing your temper, or by becoming upset, or feeling depressed.

It’s a matter of self-discipline and self-mastery.  And we all have to do this, whether we’re Indigo or not   Indigos aren’t exempt. As quickly as you can lower your vibrations, you can raise them.  So work on that.

3) Making a difference and maintaining your integrity as an Indigo

To best answer this question, I want to explain something I learned from my Native American teachers.  In many traditions, one or more persons volunteer to be what might best be called a “form-holder” whose job it is to be in meditation and maintain a clear light within themselves, that serves as a beacon of peace and calm at all times.  Whenever anyone in the village or community is disturbed or upset. they can “tune in” to that person (or group of persons, in some cases) — and know how to find their own inner compass again.

Indigos are like the “form holders” for Peace, Love, and Light on this planet.  We vibrate something that all humans are trying to reach as a species.  And whether or not each of us as individuals is able to maintain that vibration on an hourly, daily, or permanent basis is not the point.  Together we provide the necessary beacon of advanced and higher energy fields, to which all humankind can tune in, to raise their own levels of awareness and consciousness.

If you doubt this, turn off the media (in all forms) and just meditate.  You can feel that the energy fields of humans have risen — are rising — and will continue to rise. But you won’t read about it in the newspaper or see it on TV.  Yet.  Perhaps one day that will happen.  But we don’t need the media to tell us what we know and feel inside.

Oh yes there are certainly problems and we’re not “there” yet.  But we’re making enormous progress.

And every Indigo contributes just by being alive at this time.  We may not always connect with one another in person — but we can and do with the Grid of Light we’ve built.  And, if you really want to, you can connect with thousands of other Indigos all over the world, at all ages,

So go out there and live the best life you can and have fun!  The fact that you got here and are sharing your vibration with the world is mission enough, in many cases.  We have reached critical mass.  The ascension process is now irreversible.  We need no longer hope for a future time; we need only work with ourselves and allow the Light within us to become brighter.  All is well. Truly!

More soon on related topics.

Meanwhile, let me know YOUR thoughts!  I’d love to hear what you think about what I’ve said, and what YOUR answers are to these questions.

TIbetan New Year

Along with my traditional Tibetan wishes of Tashi Delek for everyone, today I also offer special wishes for the Tibetan peoples — and for all people and sentient beings everywhere. I have some things to say about Tibet — and hope. The image above has particular meaning for me, with its energy of sweeping. May our thoughts, words, and actions sweep away confusion, pain, grief, and despair. Please read on for some astonishing information. . .

FIrst, the sadness. Then, the hope.

I want to witness the suffering of the Tibetan peoples, both in Tibet and in their diaspora. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Han Chinese invasion of Tibet, forcing many to flee (including the 14th Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso, who at the time was but a young boy.)

Since that time, the Tibetan people have been subject to religious repression, harsh treatment by the Chinese (in the form of being relegated almost to a lower caste status in the very communities where they have always lived for centuries on end,) and deprivation of key resources including employment and economic resources. The Chinese authorities have moved ethnic Chinese into every Tibetan village, replacing local economies with Chinese businesses, and taking over all key positions of power.

If you do not know any Tibetans, you should know that they are a cheerful, peaceful, respectful people. Their religious beliefs are centuries old, and very spiritual. But for 50 years now, their lives (and their peaceful WAY of life) have been steadily threatened. Life in Tibet in 2009 is very different today than it was in 1959 — most would say for the worse (except for the Chinese, who resent the “lack of appreciation” from the Tibetans for having been “liberated” from their “feudal conditions.”.)

The ethnic Tibetans are all but forbidden to practice their religion (despite propaganda to the contrary), even in the monasteries; the monks and nuns are forced to endure “re-education” from the Chinese who have taken over the administration of all public services in their locales. Yes, there have been upgrades to many of the public systems (such as updated transportation, communications, and power and water) — but at a steep price to the Tibetans. The power and authority remains in Chinese hands.

What the Tibetan people want is very simple: they wish to live as they choose in the place they have for untold generations called home; they wish to come and go freely, without interference or hindrance, as they please; they wish to practice their religious beliefs and pass those beliefs along to future generations, without interference or hindrance from anyone. They wish for the right to determine how they wish to live and work, and to be free from persecution in any form, for any reason.

But the Chinese government’s position (and official policy) is to deny these fundamental rights to the Tibetan peoples. While the long term strategy is as yet unclear, many outsiders (and some Tibetans) fear that the Chinese claim to the Tibetan plateau might be to mine its rich resources in the Himalayan range. And if true, that would be an enormous global tragedy. No one but the Chinese know the plans for the future — and they aren’t talking about it.

May I also say that while the Chinese government will surely reap the karma of their actions, as we all do in life, it does no good for anyone to project hatred onto en entire people. This is a path we humans all too often take, and we are beginning to see that it does not work. We need a new way.

And now the hope! While I feel sad for what has happened with the Tibetan people and their religion, recenty I came across new information from a completely different source that changes how I view this and other situations around the world where conflict and suffering have been great — and still continue (places like Darfur, the middle East, and so on.)

It seems fitting that I offer this to you on Losar, with my best wishes for a Happy New Year. It’s from Drunvalo Melchizidek, recorded on December 18, 2008. Please take 34 minutes to hear what he has to say; I think it will make your heart sing! (And you will learn some important things too. . . )

Here’s a tidbit for you: It’s prophesied by the Indigenous spiritual leaders of ALL traditions that the center of Light on this planet is shifting; it used to be in Tibet and Peru — but soon it will be in South America instead. Interestingly, many Tibetan teachers have established dharma centers in South America over the years, and several Tibetans-in-exile communites thrive there.

But that’s not what this video is about — it’s much more than that, and you will be glad you saw it.

Drunvalo on what lies ahead very soon

Tashi Delek to everyone!

More news and announcements coming along real soon,

Stay tuned.

I am writing this swiftly, so that the message reaches as many as possible. I don’t have time to edit it properly, so please forgive if there are errors in it.

Here’s what I need you to do, as soon as you possibly can after reading this message:

• Go to a quiet place and connect from your heart to the heart of the Earth and to the heart of Source./Creator/Great Mystery/All-That-Is. Your connection with Source is the most important thing you can do. Renew your connection and maintain it every time you feel pulled away from it, for any reason.
• Reconnect to the Light Grid which now encircles the Earth, and to which you are connected through your heart center. This Grid of Light is the vehicle which all Life forms need now ~ it is this grid which we are using to c0-create the future. With all our combined help, our future is going to be very beautiful. And to ensure that it is, we MUST stay connected and feed the grid with our Light and our Love, regularly. Do this as often as you can.
• From your place of stillness within, and while connected to Source, reach out to every heart on the planet and invite all hearts and minds to turn toward Love and toward Light. In this place beyond all emotion, is Peace. And there are those who have forgotten how to reach this place. As long as any being cannot find this place, troubles can still arise. Your part ~ and mine, and all of us ~ is to do our personal “work” to renew and maintain our connections to Source and the the Grid of Light — and then there is one more thing that some of us must now also do.
• Reach out and teach others, when they ask what to do in these often treacherous changing times, how to BE peace and Be love. This is one of the main reasons why Indigos are here; we have never forgotten about Love — and that Love is the way. For those of us who can, we need to show the way if others are lost.
• For those whose role is not to teach, then it is enough to BE love. Like a beacon of Light, those who are lost will be able to see us — and seek us for refuge. Believe it or not, whether you feel personally adrift or not, you are not lost! If you are connected to Source, you are right where you need to be. Do what you can in the mundane matters of living your life, but THIS is your calling ~ and I will say it one more time, to make it as clear as I possibly can.
• Include the leaders of every land and of all the peoples in your visions of peace. This kind of love is stronger than fear or hate — because it is the very stuff of which Life itself is made. You know that. Now be it.
• Turn from what is not loving. Turn away from conflict of all kinds, from news of violence, from news of war and violence of all kinds. It is not for you. and not for you to engage with. Make peace the stronger vibration, and make it so solid that nothing can separate any heart from it one second more.
• Your fierce love is what this planet needs more than anything else. YOU are urgently needed, immediately, right where you are, to get reconnected to Source and stay that way ~ and then show others how to do that, if they need to learn or remember. Give them a book or article to read. Send them to a URL that teaches what they need to know. Talk with them. Take them by the hand to watch a beautiful sunset or to listen or play some lovely music. Whatever is your way to make and appreciate beauty in the world, do that. Those who need you will find you.

Do not worry what you are “supposed” to do or be. Just be who you are, and do what you love. Do what brings you joy.

And I am telling you, everything will be as it needs to be.

The urgency is immediate. The world needs YOU ~ and it needs you NOW!

There are too many people on the planet who know how to fight and make wars. We need more people who know how to love and make peace. We need the Peacemaking Team. That would be, ummm, US!!

It’s not hard. It’s what you were born to be. So go ahead. I’ll be here “being” with you — and all the other beautiful and amazing Indigos on the planet.

From my heart to yours — and to the hearts of every other living being on the planet — I send you my Love and my Peace. Be this, and be so now.

Struggle

And it seems I have a LOT to say about that! Let’s see where to start.

FIrst of all, I started reading a book I picked up on kind of a whim, called 2012 Awakening. I like this book for a lot of reasons, even though the authors seem from time to time to be more personally amazed about what they’ve discovered than to deliver a straightforward message (something I find distracting).

Here’s a quote from their book that leaped out at me this week:

“Tough playing fields produce strong warriors.”

When I read that, I immediately thought about all the comments here wondering “why does it have to be so hard?” This is one answer.

By the way, if you’d like to explore this book yourself, here’s the link:

Now, another thing I’ve been thinking about on the topic of struggle is: what makes us strong? And the best answer I know is that in order for muscles to grow (either physical or figurative) they must be exercised regularly. One needs a way to challenge each muscle to expand and increase in strength ~ and struggle is often the method that produces the fastest growth.

“Tough playing fields produce strong warriors.”

And no, “warriors” are not all about violence; the best of them are about NON-violence. And that would be Indigos. The peaceful warrior has no need for war, because they know better tools and can use them powerfully. Let us claim a truly strong position, with our truly strong voices: . “War is SO over!”

True strength comes from inner peace and confidence. And sometimes it takes struggle for us to know just how strong we really are.

Now that we humans seem to have taken a major leap forward in consciousness with the election, let’s look for worthy ways to stay strong. We need to be as fit as possible to build a new and better world. Yes, we need a rest period ~ we have expended enormous energy in our work. I don’t know about you, but I’ve been happily exhausted.

But there remains a lot of work to do here. Where shall we focus next? It’s time to plan carefully and keep living from the heart. And teach everyone you know how to do this.

Hmmm. Maybe THAT is what’s next. . .

She asked if I knew a way to help her release feelings of fear, anger and pain. The short answer is, there is hope! There are many paths for healing, but I’d like to tell you one of my favorites: flower essences. Here’s why.

• Flower essences are the only thing that corrects the human electrical system. It works to change electrical patterns at the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual levels. There are essences to help you release karma and karmic effects, as well as to release any negative emotions.

• Flower essences are generally inexpensive, have NO side effects, do not interfere with any medication or diet, and are safe even for babies.

• They work fast! You will usually see benefits from taking flower essences within 1-2 weeks, but many Indigos can tell immediately that there is something good happening.

• At some point the changes will be permanent. (You will know when that happens.) You don’t need to take them forever.

One of the reasons that I know so much about flower essences is that they worked so well for me that people started asking me which flowers to use for different things. They saw how the flowers were helping me, and they wanted to know more.

So I studied and got certified as a Flower Essence Practitioner; I now specialize in making custom blended formulas for people and animals. And I do a fair amount of private label work for other companies.

You can go to my other blog, Dances With Flowers, and get tons of information about flower essences before you decide if that is what you would like to use to help you quickly and easily release your unwanted feelings. A good place to start is the tab at the top of the page that says New Here? There’s LOTS of information on that page, that answers most of the questions you might have. And if you still have more questions? Ask me! I will respond to you

Another easy tool that I find very effective for myself and for other is a Native American aromatherapy spray called Blue Eagle Invocation. This dispels negativity, uplifts your spirits, and cleanses your aura ~ immediately. You can visit here to learn more about that: We used a lot of this after 9/11, especially with the children who were afraid to go to sleep at night. The Invocation allowed them to easily sleep deeply, free from nightmares. It’s great and I highly recommend it.

There are other methods, too, but I would start with these and then see what remains to be cleared. You may be delighted and surprised to find how easily and quickly you can transform even the most challenging feelings, using these natural tools.

Hope this helps!

One of the ways I wanted to deal with this, is to collaborate with some friends to put together some Powerful and Positive Messages. You can get the FREE e-book here (no strings attached.) And today I have one more powerful positive message for you.

This one is from someone who works with the practical steps in letting go of fear, and I think you will like what he has to say. Here’s a short video that will get you started.

When you are able to effectively release fear (or any other painful emotion) ~ you have already started the healing process for yourself and the whole world. And, in this amazing work, you are also becoming who you were meant to be: a powerful co-creator in The Universe.

Thanks for playing!

But I know a different story. I know a story of incredible power and possibility. And so does Abraham.

If you have been feeling down because of all the “bad news”, you need to watch this brief video. I believe it will help you remember who you really are — and help you get back on track.

Co-creative science is an emerging field ~ which holds enormous implications for the future of humanity. It also holds keys to your own personal power. Start with your mind.

Please add your comments here after you’ve watched this. I want to know what you think!

Many blessings of love and light,

Nancy

1) The financial markets in the US began a cascading crash that as of this date has still not been stabilized. That’s a symbol of what is clearly not in alignment with Light and Love.

2) World Gratitude Gathering launched. This is a symbol of what we can create with Light and Love.

It is so intensely ironic that something so dark and something so filled with joy, should issue forth on the very same day. But here we also see the balance in play: both darkness and light are part of the whole. We are learning to dance well with both.

It is worth remembering that even babies require the fertile darkness in which to grow, as does the seed from which the oak arises. In this darkness are also the seeds of possibility for what we would like to create in its place.

So let us use the moment to engage with our highest and most sacred desires for how we would like to live here on Planet Earth. The choice is here before us.

I have already made my choice.

Which will you choose?

Perhaps you would like to explore an alternative to darkness: World Gratitude Gathering . It’s worth your time.

So first of all, here is the page on the Transpartisanship Alliance site that lists their description, mission, values and program.

Now here’s the thing. It’s easy to see that partisan politics creates a polarity (usually along the lines of “me good/you bad”) ~ from which it seems impossible to even generate dialogue, let alone common ground. And the world is mired in such energy!

If there is to be progress, often it takes a third or fourth vector to break the polarity. Sometimes that’s an outside threat of some kind (in the case of warring factions around the planet, that might be, say, a stray asteroid on a collision course with Earth) — something completely outside the dynamic, that causes the polarity to break apart in service to something greater.

Now, I highlighted that phrase on purpose! Polarity-mind is self-serving. It cannot serve everyone. While there is a lot of energy locked up in the struggle, the energy cannot be put to a different use. (Keep that in mind.)

If we Indigos really want to be change agents, we have no farther to look than where there is polarity going on. If we can create a big enough reason (or “threat”) to the polarity, it will fall apart. So there’s that.

But you know something? The other, bigger reasons why I like Transpartisanship ideas are because they are aligned with my own values.

Look. If I had to define myself politically, I’d probably have to say that I’m a Progressive Green. I’m not Liberal, Independent, or necessarily party-affiliated. I just know in my soul the way things COULD be ~ and so far they aren’t even close yet.

More and more people are waking up, and more and more people are starting to get conscious, and so on. But I still don’t see Indigo values reflected out there to the degree they will be in another decade, even.

The media hype will tell you differently; but then, most of “the media” is part of the same polarity. (There’s another thing to change. . .,)

But Transpartisanship is on the right track. Until something better comes along, it’s worth my attention. Maybe yours too.

Let me know what you think!
