The frequencies of the planet have been shifting dramatically over the last few years. Lightworkers have sensed these changes, and feel these shifting energies rippling through society. In fact, most people, even if they have no interest in metaphysics, can feel that things are shifting, and find that they are suddenly feeling either more optimistic, or more fearful, than usual.

When people are feeling more optimistic, it’s because they are naturally more aligned with their Soul’s purpose, and they are able to allow a greater amount of light to work through them. The shifting energies cause them to feel excited and enthusiastic about things to come.

But when people are feeling more fearful, their focus tends to be on lack and limitation because they are disconnected from their Soul’s purpose, and the amount of light that works through them is extremely limited.

Even those who have a regular spiritual practice can find themselves more focused on what’s wrong with the world, rather than what’s beautiful, if they aren’t carefully monitoring their thoughts and choices in situations that are difficult and challenging.

By actively practicing the channeling of light, we increase the amount of light we naturally carry, and are more aligned with our Soul’s purpose. This light helps us to more consistently make choices that allow us to express our divinity.

If you would like to more actively and thoughtfully connect with these divine energies, try the following exercise:

Sitting with your feet flat on the floor, close your eyes, and let your body relax. Then breathe in to the count of four, hold your breath to the count of four, then exhale to the count of eight. Do this four times.

Then visualize your heart center as a radiant golden light. See it growing and expanding so that it completely surrounds you, like a golden egg of light.

Imagine that a ray of this golden light shines down to the center of the planet, connecting to the loving, nurturing energies, of Mother Earth. Let the emerald green light of the planet join with your golden light, and shine back up through your feet, up through your chakras, and then out your heart center, so that the loving energies of the planet now completely surround you also.

Next, imagine that a ray of your golden light shines from your heart center, up and out through the top of your head (your crown chakra), and into a space about three feet above you that is a radiant white, pearlescent rainbow light.

This is the 8th chakra, also known as your Soul Star, or Stellar Gateway. It is through this portal that you connect with your Soul, and higher purpose. It is also your connection to the realms of light. Your light joins with the light of your Soul Star, and together both lights shines back down through the top of your head, down through all your chakras, and then back up, and out through your heart chakra, so that the divine energies of the realms of light now completely surround you, along with your heart light, and the loving light from the planet.

Notice that the light from your heart center not only surrounds you in an egg of golden light, but it also forms a pillar of light radiating down to the center of the earth, and up into your Soul Star.

Now bring your attention back to your Soul Star, and its radiant pearlescent light. Ask to be given, and to maintain, awareness of your connection to the realms of light, and to be open and receptive to the guidance of your guides, teachers, and angels.

Bring yourself back to your heart center, and affirm: Thank you, thank you, thank you.

When you first begin this practice, you may feel the sensations of lightness, or an energetic buzz. This is just because your physical body is carrying more light than it’s used to. You may also experience symptoms of lethargy, tiredness, and even a slight detoxing sensation. This is simply the body allowing the light to cleanse through any current energetic blocks. As you continue the practice of channeling light, your body will get used to the sensation of carrying more light.

Channeling light is important to our well-being as it helps us to stay aligned with our highest path and purpose, and express our divine nature. This allows us to more consistently make choices that support our divinity, and the expression of light on the planet.
